Hi fellow net-ers out there, Me and a few friends are starting a club on campus that's going to be called, at this stage, The Alternative Music and Politics Club. Here is a brief guide to the aims of the club and what it will hopefully be able to offer to club members : (1) Being alternative is about being away from mainstream, let it be mainstream commercial top-40 music or mainstream politics generated by the propaganda of mainstream political parties. We, as university students, are true adults and we should no longer be effected by what's hot, what's right or what's wrong as others tell us. We should develop an independent frame of mind, and that's whatthis club is for, indepedent fun-loving people who are *fed-up* with pop music and dirty politics generated by the Labor, Liberal and Left-Alliance Clubs on campus :) (2) The music side of the club is very important. We intend to organize bands, good alternative bands(could be metal, or rock, but must be alternative) to play on campus throughout the year. We'll also organize fun parties and stuff. Nightclubs, bars, beaches, concerts and drinking parties will all be the main features of the club. (3) The political aspect of the club is pretty straight forward. We will attempt to become a force on campus by pointing out the bad points about other political clubs and also develop policies of our own. The aim is to clean up politics on campus, get things DONE for STUDENTS, not for individual power- seekers. (4) If what's been said hasn't appealed to you, well then think about this. We will be having wild parties with lots of drinks, music, people of the *right* type for others to socialize with. We will also have camps, and a political forum meeting. We'll be publishing newsletters hopefully at least once a month, containing latest music information and political news. We'll try and get discounts to albums, concert tickets and stuff. And we'll be previewing all new albums so members can get an idea of what album's good and what's not. Okay, that was a long introduction :) Anyway, our aim is to be the FUN CLUB on campus that's got a wild side to it, and also a serious side as well. Since we're in the very initial stages, we also don't mind people with ideas and hunger to make the club great to come and talk to us. If you just wanna join the club and have fun, contact us as well, at : 800-3105, after 7pm Mon, Tues and Fri, and after 10:30pm Wednesday and Thursday ask for 'Andy', coz that's me :) Oh yeah, I have a phone in my room so it's ok to call me as late as 12am :) or, people could email me at acc@munagin.ee.mu.oz.au including your phone numberperhaps so I could get in touch with you, and if you're too lazy(heh :), you could just write a follow-up to this article. Club general meetings and activities will officially start after the exams. And not, but not least, good luck to everyone's exams!!! It's that time of the year again ....
