Letter from the editors

As we sit here writing this, we are still piecing this brand new Leopard together. This months issue is full of some things new and some things not so new.

Returning we have such features as our Freshers Diary. This year taking on two due to popular demand.

column is back to question Goldsmiths and the Students’ Union.

But more importantly this issue showcases some of the fantatic writing talent that have been contrib-uting to The Leopard over the last few weeks. And, although we are just getting this year rolling we’re sure that they will get better and better.

Our sports desk, with Dan and Pete, are already thinking about the second issue. While our Lifestyle and Culture editors Lucie and Nindy and our Music editor Joanie had so much sent into them that it could not all feature in this issue. For this we apologise.

This issue is covering some of the big issues happening on campus like the closure of NatWest and the goings on at New Cross Library.

We are, however, always open to submissions, suggestions and slaggings off. If you are interested in getting involved please contact us [email protected]

James and Johnny.

Perhaps it’s due to my mild perfec-tionism, but I’m one of those weird people who dedicate too much

for example, people might get twice as excited to read the whole piece or vice versa, they might quickly decide not to go on to your second sentence. That is possibly why, most of the time I spend on typing down an article is

Nevertheless, this is not a literary

sentences, nor is this an article about relationship.Oh, actually come to think of it, this is indeed an article about relation-ship. But it is not about the romantic relationship. This is an article about the relationship between local and international students.Being an international student has always been familiar to me because I have experienced it since I was very young. One thing I have been noticing from these experiences is that there is always this ‘invisible’ gap between the local and international students. In other words, there is some kind of

marginalization of the international students.Of course it all comes back to the individual whether s/he feels margin-alized as an international student or not but generally speaking, based on my experiences and observations, to a certain extent, international students have always been discrimi-nated against. This discrimination can take many forms, from racial discrimination (although less likely to happen now, but still occurs some time) to a sense of alienation in which

with the society.Regarding the latter, I would like to say that it is a matter of prejudice. This ignorance is caused by a lack of knowledge. This goes for both local and international students. After all, it takes two to tango, right?It seems to me that there is this wide-spread assumption among local students that international students do not want to blend in, that they prefer to be with the people from their own country.

Can’t We Be Friends?We are students, not International studentsBy Nindya Atmodipoero

Whilst this assumption is somewhat true, then there lies a bigger issue: why does it happen? Why do inter-national students stick together with the people from their own country or with other international students? Is it them who do not want to mingle or is it the local students who are not really keen on socializing with inter-national students?I believe this has to do with cultural differences. I am not going to elaborate on the possibility of lifestyle differences and contradicting values; something as simple as language barrier, for example, can already create a gap. Whereas different English language skills obviously create miscommu-nication, often, different accents can already create gaps and certain prej-udices. Language skills can really make someone feels superior or inferior to others but to tell the truth, it is not something to fuss about.Now for my fellow international students, we cannot always blame the local students and/or the school if we feel like we are being discrimi-nated. Tell me, how are you supposed to make friends with the local students if you are always in your own comfort zone?True, it is hard enough to settle in a new country, learn another culture and maintain good grades at the same time. Yet going to school abroad is not only about the academic achieve-ment, but also the life experiences, and how you manage to overcome your fear of unfamiliarity.Another possibility why there is a gap between the local and interna-tional student is that perhaps, none of us feel like we have to interact with each other. Since it is unlikely that we will end up in the same work environment, as most international students will come back to their home country after graduation, why bother making connections?Well, although it can be said that university is a stepping-stone for your future career (in which it would be great if you start networking with the people you might end up working with), you go to university to make friends with everybody!Moreover, who knows, this could be our last chance to learn about another culture considering we might end up in a homogenized work environment in our native countries.Lastly, referring back to my opening sentences, I think the same tenets cannot always be applied for this circumstance.

Theatre - for thought or fun?By Laura

Theatre has a freedom that few other forms of communication can replicate, allowing it to provoke thought and criticism on controver-sial subjects. Through out time, playwrights and directors have been using theatre to

and sometimes subtle form. After visiting Bucharest, Richard Eyre, former director of the National Theatre, was struck by the startling similarities between the communist capital of Romania and Elsinore in Hamlet. Knowing that the state could not easily question the universality of Shakespeare, Eyre decided to take the play to Bucharest where audiences were captured by the parallel between the stage and their own reality. The theatre enabled them to channel their struggles and share in an
