President's Report

 

Education: A Higher State

Ryan Batchelor examines the increasing challenges being made against publically funded tertiary education. It's pretty serious, but don't worry, we gave it a silly title that would make you think that it was about drugs. Clever eh?

Women's

Do women make bad parents? Find the answer in the Women's Department's regular female friendly space along with all the latest news from the feminist frontier.

Arts

Brett Whiteley's was on it. The beat poets were definitely on it. Isn't it about time you treated yourself to some high-grade art?

Film

This month: X-Men, The Patriot, American Psycho, Next Friday, Guesthouse Paradiso, Return to Me, Any Given Sunday.

Crack Monkey

by Edward J. Grug III

Cashing in on the success of "Ebola Monkey," Edward J. Grug III churns out a sequel that is bound to be disappointing in comparison to its seminal precursor. We really shouldn't encourage him.
