A week of Intro goodness!

What a great week!

We, here at LUU, hope you have had as much of a fab week as we have. It has been the busiest but best Intro yet...and there is still a week to go!

Throughout the week we have seen: four days of activity groups telling (or showing!) students what they are all about in the Activities Fairs; LUU Flash mob's crazy, but memorable, stunts promoting next week's Social Forum; the Exec telling you all about LUU in the Welcome Talks; a sell-out in all evening events in Stylus; 15,000 unique views of LUU's Intro website; advertisers giving out free pizza, spatulas, magazines, spray tans, gym membership, and all sorts of other goodies; Leeds Student Radio broadcasting across the forecourt from the LSR balcony; film showings in the Welcome Tent; approximately 5,000 chocolate bars and 10,000 sandwiches sold in Essentials; and loads more other stuff.

The new issue of the Gist is out!

You may have seen the first issue, the Intro issue, of the Gist in your mail outs earlier in the summer, before arriving in Leeds. The next issue is now out! You can pick up your copy in the Union building from Monday or download a copy now from www.luuonline.com/thegist.

This issue is all about: Varsity, the biggest sporting event of the year; the LUU Social Forum; how you can become a Union Rep and get paid for doing it; LSR's Station Manager answers a few questions; and not forgetting the full list of the coming fortnight's events.

Coming Up Next Week...

The most anticipated Intro event arrives...the LUU Social Forum!

All week, the Flash Mob have been out in action in and around the Union building promoting the Social Forum with paper airplanes, orange jumpsuits, cages, and flippers! Monday sees the start of this creatively-promoted event. Get yourself along to any or all of the events happening throughout the week as part of the forum to see if all the hype lives up to expectations! The first day's events, talks, discussions, film showings, are all about poverty. Find out more at www.luuonline.com/luusocialforum.
