SPECIAL THANKS TO THE GLOBE TEAM

august 18, issue 19 3

overwhelmingly beigeWelcome everyone, to another week of uni! The theme of this

week seems to be assignments. Grueling as it may be to ba-

lance uni work with IH activities, there have been a few who

have managed to do so. These would be the people in the

debating team who stood up against the evil forces of Or-

mond, fighting bravely to the very end against overwhelmin-

gly beige odds.

There is a light at the end of this week long tunnel. The Party

Planning Party is happening THIS SATURDAY!!!!! So get exci-

FROM THE EDITOR XVIIStep right up! Come one, come all to this weeks theatrical edition of Globe!

It has been a week of theatre with musicals and plays sprouting across the college cir-

cuit. The ghoulish Adams Family visited UC, while an equally horrific hybrid human-bat

graced the stage at Whitley. Our own theatrical IH brought the stage to life in an ernest

rendition of Oscar Wilde’s play, which critics raved as a “play of great importance” and

a “Wilde ride”.

In IH news we bring you the best of the political circus. The shocks, the scandals, the hi-

ghs and lows of the Student Club Committee’s election campaign. In this Globe edition

we reveal a secret that has clouded IH for months. Possibly the greatest secret in the

colleges history. We reveal what Rahul actually does as President!

With all the positions in the AC and GC up for sale (including my own) the battle over

student college administration is bound to be a exciting ride. This edition of Globe will

bring you information on all positions of the AC and GC. As the contending nominees

prepare their campaigns, rumours spread across IH, asking who will run for the seats.

Spin doctors have been sited as the competition grows fierce.

So, with all this drama awaiting you, go ahead and turn these pages and enjoy the show!

ted everyone for a fun filled night. Also a reminder that as

student committee elections are coming up, be sure to keep

asking questions to any committee members about what

their job entails. Remember that this is your chance to create

the change that you want to see.

Finally, a heads up that we will soon be conducting a survey

to see peoples involvement in uni clubs etc., to see if it is wor-

th developing a better relationship with them in the future.

This survey is being carried out at all colleges and I hope that

you will all give your full cooperation. Other than that, I hope

you all have a great week.


IHSCC: THE STUDENT CLUB COMMITTEEPosition descriptions for potential applicants

President: Rahul Ingle

The President of International House is a flexible role. Being at

the top of the committee is like being the Pope, but even bet-

ter because you are young enough to party. The main job of the

President is to be a representative of the student body in dealing

with IH administration, the IH council, the other colleges and any

external bodies that want to make contact with IH in regards to

the students. The President also needs to manage the IH student

club committee and ensure that they are focused and completing

the tasks that are required of them. This part is usually easy as the

committee itself is comprised of loyal followers. It is worth noting

that any disputes within IH are usually resolved in its initial stages

by the President and Vice President before they escalate. Overall,

it could be said that the president is the face of IH charged with

keeping the peace and ensuring the smooth operation of the stu-

dent committee.

Vice President: Thomas Soh

The role of Vice President is quite ambiguous as there is a lot of

free space within the role to do your own. For the most part I am

second in command to the President and as such have very simi-

lar responsibilities to them and will liaise with them on all issues.

The difference is that the President deals with external bodies

like other Presidents and the IH council, whilst the VP oversees all

the internal work in IH such as whether the committee is running

effectively, if people are doing their jobs and if we are represen-

ting all groups in IH.. There are 4 core things that you must do in

the role of Vice President:

• Maintain a presence within IH, so be seen at meals and events.

• Attend GC meetings as well as a weekly meeting with the

Head and Deputy Head of IH.

• Coordinate the IH Photograph in semester 1.

• Coordinate and organise Mini O week in semester 2.

Secretary: Amanda Low

I sit on both the General Committee and the Activities Commi-

ttee, and take minutes at the weekly meetings. I organise the

General Meetings (GM) as well as the Annual General Meeting

(AGM). I’m in charge of the Facebook pages, Nexus and keeping

everyone up to date on the latest happenings around IH. My job

sounds boring but it’s more interesting than you know! Come

have a chat with me to find out more.

Treasurer: Vee Vien Tan

• Act as treasurer for Satadal, Play, Orientation Week, CIA Week,

O-Weekend, River Cruise, any other expenditure on assets for stu-

dent club and on expenses concerning the welfare of IHSC mem-

bers such as for newspapers expenses and Foxtel.

• Ensure the Play, Orientation Week, CIA Week, O-Weekend and

River Cruise committees draw up a detailed budget as per discus-

sion with the Treasurer at least 2 weeks (where applicable) before

the commencement of the respective activities.

• Record and approve cheques as well as other financial transac-

tions.

• As IHSC is a registered business subject to laws of the CA 2001,

ensure all financial records are properly documented • Issue invoi-

ces to the Accounts Manager (Will and David) of the college when

requesting for money. You do not have to be from a Commerce

background to apply for this position.

International Liaison Officer: Maggie Greenham

International Liaison Officer (ILO) The ILO is responsible for organi-

sing all IH’s cultural events and any social events that aren’t alcohol

related. I also have to organise CIA week and the clubs and societies,

The ILO attends both GC and AC and runs the Cultural Committee

to organise the cultural events. Finally, the ILO is the international

students representative on GC. Cultural communication is also so-

mething that my role focuses on so it’s a really awesome position to

make friends and learn a lot more about all of IH’s cultures!

Activities Officer: Vishnu Sachidaran

Being the Activities Officer, my role is one that has a few major

responsibilities. The biggest one is being the O -week coordinator.

For O-week, I coordinate the entire week along with the 16 other

o-weekers. I am also in charge of organising all IH parties and I’m

in charge of the bar at all parties. I chair the Activities Committee

which is a weekly meeting discussing pretty much the activities ha-

ppening around IH.

Activities Treasurer: Sameer Jalees

As AT, I reimburse people by writing cheques if the activities they

need to be reimbursed for are under me, e.g. clubs and societies’

spending. I also ensure Shop liquidity is running smoothly, emp-

tying the cash in the cash register and taking it to deposit in the

bank. Finally, I have to keep budgets updated with the relevant

spending and try and ensure all money allocated is spent by the


end of the academic year.

General Member For Shop: Genevive Kroussaniotakis

As Shop Girl I search for food either online or in small stores, of-

ten searching for the lowest prices. These goods are then sold,

not at a profit, to IH students. This is a simple and fun job, even

though it puts a dent in my bank account for a few weeks!

Community Involvement Representative: Larnie Hewatt

The position of Community Involvement Representative (CIR)

is essentially all about getting IHers out of IH and involved

in the wider community. This involves promoting volunteer

opportunities and sharing info about local and global social

justice causes, as well as running events of this nature within

IH. Such events in the past have included Do It In a Dress,

Movember and Live Below the Line. CIR also focuses on the

environment and issues of sustainability. CIR oversees the IH

Environments Committee, which aims to educate the college

about becoming a more environmentally conscious college

and reduce the amount of waste it produces.

ICAC Representative: Inika Reinhardt

ICAC rep is International House’s representative on the Inter-

collegiate Activities Council. This position lets you go to other

colleges and meet people outside of IH because you’ll be

meeting with other colleges’ ICAC representatives and be at-

tending various intercollegiate events such as dance-offs and

poker nights.

Your primary goal is to encourage positive interaction between

residents of IH and residents of the other colleges in a way

that both makes IHers feel good about living here and fosters

friendships between colleges. You meet with AC every week

and and ICAC every one to two weeks and are in charge of

organising your own event and putting together people to re-

present IH at other events...and you have fun!

Female Sports Representative: Jordi Nugent

The female sports rep works in tandem with the male sports

rep. You maintain sports inventory, organise/dictate captains

and teams, advertise games and sporting opportunities avai-

lable at MU, sit on AC (Activities Committee), sit on the ICSC

(Inter-Collegiate Sports Committee), and help organise sport.

Basically this is a fun, social, sporty admin role. Workload wise,

it varies, depending on the sports calendar. Having mainly

weekly morning sports games, you have your afternoons and

most of your weekends free for yourself… unless training is on!

Sports rep is a great way of getting to know lots of people

from IH, other colleges and Melbourne Uni Sport. Sitting on

AC and the ICSC is exciting; particularly due to realising you

are part of something bigger. I’ve had a blast being female

sports rep, so if you are considering, umm-ing, and or ahh-ing

whether you should run for election or not… DO IT. You won’t

regret it :)

Male Sports Representative: Thomas Schmitt

As male sports rep I’m in charge of finding captains and pu-

tting together the IH sports teams (mostly the guys teams).

Along with the female sports rep I organise jerseys for the

teams and the sports equipment needed for the sports. I get

to buy stuff we need and if anyone needs anything sports rela-

ted, I deal with it. Lastly I sit on the ICSC (intercollegiate sports

committee) and help to make sure all the sports run smoothly

and are epically awesome! All in all I deal with all things sport.

Globe Editor: Zizi Averill (Interim)

As Globe editor your role is part article blood-hound and part

paper work-horse. At your weekly Globe meeting you collect

your writers together and discuss what they are writing. You

must make sure you’ll have enough content for the next edi-

tion. Then you spend the next week chasing people up over

Facebook, emails and at dinners. By Friday these happy con-

versations transform with a slightly more frantic tone. The

weekend is for compiling the works and checking for splling

eorrors and tpyos. By Sunday evening you print everything off

in order to deliver it on time for the Monday morning Breakfast

Gang. It’s an incredibly enjoying and satisfying job – especially

if you enjoy writing!

General Member For General Committee: Khaya Mphele

The GMGC is a composition of two primary tasks. Firstly, s/

he is expected to liaise with Catercare, those angels who

feed us. This encompasses sitting down with a representative

from Catercare once in a week, and debating the most recent

concerns/ queries you have compiled from other IHers. Fur-

thermore, you must liaise between Catercare and the student

club committee if some form of catering is requested for an

event. Secondly, the GMGC must maintain, as well as seek to

expand, the assets of IH. Informally, this relates to maintaining

and adding to the assets of the gym and the games room. I

think the time commitment is not well defined, rather a GMGC

faces many ‘mini-tasks’ including purchasing more assets and

dropping by the kitchen to talk to Catercare should the need

arise. In each week the number of the ‘mini-tasks’ may differ.

Perhaps it is best not to be disorganised and brush aside such

tasks, sillily thinking “i’ll get around to it later”, when carried

away with studies. The author is shamefully guilty of this.


FISH ON EUROPAAn original contempo-rary musical created by Natasha King and music and lyrics by Felicia King. The musical stars Brit-tany Lewis and Benjamin Sheen (two AMAZING ex-Queeners) as Ava and Bill, two twenty-year-olds standing on a cliff in a late summer near the end of humanity. A thou-ght-provoking work that defies the conventions of traditional musical theatre, Fish on Europa is a show about changes, choices and extraterres-trial fish. Shows at Guild Theatre this week - check it out, seriously! See Miguel and Alex if you want to tag along with someone.

IH SATADAL: QUOTABLE QUOTES


A WEEK IN THEATRE: three shows, one week. Not an easy feat

By Bridget loughhead & Miguel Lontoc

‘Batboy’ with ‘Batman’ - this is not some superhero parody or

coming of age musical with a happy ending. Comedic horror

would be an accurate description; I spent the whole show either

gaping at the events that unfolded before me or laughing my

head off. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first sat down, but

within the first five minutes I was transfixed. Whitley honestly

exceeded my expectations: their cast was great (and huge! It

looked like half their college!), the production elements were

really well done and the actual musical was a great choice and

really well written. Nothing disappointed me. I have to give a

special mention to the actor of ‘Batboy’, the mother and the

veterinarian father. They really shone, and managed to give a

lot of depth and complexity to characters in a musical about a

child who was half-bat, which is honestly an impressive feat. If

you didn’t go to this show, you missed out.

SUNSET BOULEVARD

Because of their extensive reputation, I had VERY high expec-

tations going in. I must say though, Ormond did a very good

job for an amateur theatre company doing Sunset Boulevard.

It’s not the easiest, requiring an extensive orchestra and balan-

cing many actors onstage at any given time. There were a few

technical issues, with microphones not being loud enough and

oftentimes, the band was uncoordinated, however Isaac Martin,

was absolutely phenomenal as the male lead with a voice you

would not expect from someone so cute-looking and studying

math and physics! Elisabeth Enright, who played Norma Des-

mond was absolutely perfect in her portrayal of a faded, eccen-

tric former screen star and I empathised with her deeply. It’s not

a ‘fun’ musical and it had its flaws, that’s for sure. but I admire

the effort Ormond put in and the musical highlighted the ridi-

culous talent of some of their students.

This is a time of joy and madness for theatre lovers: there are

shows popping up left, right and centre, and it’s hard for the dis-

cerning connoisseur to even decide what they’ll take the time to

go see. With that in mind, here are some brief reviews, in hope

that the average reader can have some semblance of knowled-

ge of what’s stirring in the wild world of student theatre.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

Produced by the Ubermensch theatre group, the show was a

solid interpretation of an absolute classic. What’s more, our very

own Jonathan Evans was a part of the cast! During some inter-

views I conducted (aka a casual conversation with someone I

met one time), they mentioned that they ‘most enjoyed Lady

Bracknell and the butler’. I have to echo this sentiment - they

were definitely stand-out element of the show. Overall, the pro-

duction was highly professional. There were no obvious slip ups,

the set was excellent considering it was such a small budget

show, and all cast members managed to hold their own and

keep to a high standard of stagecraft. As this author’s first live

viewing of the play, I must say I’m very happy with my ‘Wilde’

introduction and the show was a success!

BAT BOY: The Musical

This is a cast whose windows you can peek into from your room

here at IH: our closest neighbours, Whitley, emerged from their

donut brandishing a weird and terrifying musical. Don’t confuse


How to catch crayfish at 1am in the morning with spears and torch lights

by Tae Wongsrinoppakun

“Be careful of the crocodiles!”

This was probably the first thing anyone at the Northern Territory

warned us about when we said we wanted to go swimming. I

was part of the Davis Project team that went up to the Northern

Territory to help the staff with their holiday program they were

running. The purpose of the program was to keep the kids busy

during the holiday so they would steer away from petrol sniffing

and drinking, practices that are very prominent social issues in

the Yurrkala community. On the fourth day, we went camping

with the kids and – OH MY GOD, CROCODILES ARE REAL!

It all started at night. All the kids had gone to sleep after sin-

ging around a camp fire, roasting and eating marshmallows. I

was with 6 other female IHers. They shared two tents amongst

themselves while I was supposed to sleep in a swag alone. The

girls had gone to sleep early, but I didn’t want to sleep. The

whole camping experience had got me pumped and I didn’t

want the night to be over. I stayed up and chatted with the staff.

They had to wait for the kids to be asleep before they could go

to bed. However, instead of going to sleep, AJ (one of the staff

members) had prepared for CRAYFISH HUNTING!

The tide was very very low that night and the fish were stuck

in the rocks and corals. It was the perfect opportunity. After the

kids were asleep (which was around 12am), AJ asked Peter, ano-

ther staff member, and me to go with her. We grabbed a prong,

a spear and three torch lights and off we went into the rocky

part of the beach. It was full of coral, sharp oyster shells and

other sea creatures. We walked without realising that we weren’t

the only ones hunting that night...

“ Hey Tae, come and check this out!” AJ exclaimed before han-

ding me a sea slug to touch

I could feel it wincing as AJ pulled it out of the water. As I care-

fully laid the sea slug back down I heard a noise. I turned around

to see Peter trying to spear a blue beautiful fish. This was how

the first half of the night went - looking around, balancing on

coral and oyster infested rocks trying to find crayfish or any other

edible creatures to take home. I cut myself in a few places and

almost slipped a several times (If I had slipped I would not have

returned in one piece as the rocks and coral are as sharp as hell!).

Peter and AJ showed me an octopus, a pentagon shaped colour-

ful starfish and many other sea creatures I thought I would only

ever see on Animal Planet. The experience was amazing (even

though we hadn’t even found a single cray fish). Halfway throu-

gh the session, we looked around to check for crocs - as part of

our usual routine - and saw a spot of light coming towards us

“Hey Pete! Who do you see?” AJ shouted to Peter with excite-

ment.

“Jeremiah.” It sounded to me like Peter had expected him to

sneak out to join us.

Jeremiah was the first Yongul boy I talked to, or should I say pla-

yed basketball with. He didn’t talk much but you could tell that

there was a lot going on in his head. He would randomly give

me a bro nod, sometimes a hug and call me “wawa” (which

means brother in Yongul). His basketball skill are beyond anyone

I’ve ever seen at his age. He is a sweet and talented kid, but

Peter had told me that he smokes even though he’s only around

11 years old. It actually seemed like a common thing there. A

kid who was around the same age as Jeremiah told me that he

sniffed petrol before. It is not their fault that these issues arise in

their communities. I guess there is a lot to be done to help these

communities out.

“ AJ! AJ!”

“Another one? Yoohoo! Great job Jeremiah”

A third crayfish - This boy is mad! I looked like a toddler learning

how to walk next to Jeremiah. He walked around so swiftly and

barefooted while I struggled to find good footings on the coral,

even with shoes on. We kept on hunting for another hour or

so. I managed to spear 2 crayfish. One was already injured by

Jeremiah, another one was to kill off the crayfish Jeremiah had

caught. Mostly I was just watching them hunt. In the end, we

caught 8 crayfish (with around 5 or 6 being caught by Jeremiah)

one beautiful blue fish, one giant clamp and a small fish. Jere-

miah also caught a little baby shark – But we let it go because

we weren’t going to eat it. When the tide came up we stopped

hunting and walked back to the spot where we laid all our cat-

ches. Halfway through the walk, AJ suddenly froze.

Fun fact: crocodiles can run as fast as 6 meters per second.


Ba-da-da-dum *snap, snap*

Ba-da-da-dum *snap, snap*

Mahalia Stamford

From comic strips to TV, big screens to the stage, the quirky

Addams family has been with us for 76 years. However, last

week we got to see a new side to them when our friends

from across the road, UC, performed the Addams Family Mu-

sical at Union Theatre.

The plot follows Wednesday Addams and her secret boy-

friend forcing their respective families to have dinner toge-

ther, hoping they’ll all be (relatively) alive and (relatively)

sane by the end. The cast were hilarious and very well-suited

to their parts as marriages formed and fell apart, all in the

least normal manner possible. The leads were all fabulous,

each with their own individual stage presence demanding

the spotlight for the development of their characters as well

as the witty one-liners scattered throughout the plot.

Congrats are in order for the chorus who were always su-

pporting from the back in perfect and diverse characters. As

ghosts, Egyptian queens, and brides danced across stage,

the audience was reminded that sometimes the stories left

untold are the most intriguing ones of all.

A big shout-out to the band who moved through the pieces

like pros, and backed the action on stage. It’s a million times

harder playing songs which people know off by heart (and

who doesn’t know the theme from the Addam’s Family?),

and they played spectacularly!

All in all it was a delightful performance, filled with College

Crescent pride from start to finish!

Writter: Mahalia Stamford

I turned and to looked at what AJ was staring at. It was a trail. A

crocodile trail. At its end was a medium sized crocodile. It was

staring straight at us. We turned the torch light off and backed

away. But it was too late. It has already seen us. I had heard

that crocodiles are bad at zigzagging and

I was ready to test the theory out. It approached us slowly. But

as we were retreating

“Waahhhhh!”

I had slipped. That was all it took. The crocodile sprinted

towards us and I got eaten.

No. I lied. Unfortunately (or fortunately) we didn’t actually get

to see a crocodile, only its trail as it slid from the beach into

the water. But, knowing that I had been hunting in crocodile

infested water was thrilling enough for me.


It Ain’t Rocket science!crafts & life hacks for dummies

by seng fu wen

Hello my fellow IHers! I am here to tell you today about two wonderful new ways to make a student’s life easier on the hands and the eyes.

First off, you have been tying your shoes wrong! This method is far faster and finished under a second.1) Grab the strings with three fingers on both sides

2) Following so far? Good now with your hands in a “pis-tol sign” twirl your left index finger under the string and your right index finger over its string.

3) Make a “lobster claw” pinching and pulling the strings in between your pincers

4) Enjoy your handiwork! Takes a little while to get used to but you all got into college and once again this ain’t rocket science.

If that didn’t take your fancy here’s how to make a personalised mug

Easy right? Just two steps and unlimited possibilities!See you next time with more Life Hacks & Crafts for Dummies.
