Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the annual fees are for a 3rd year Arts student. 1st year was $577 and 2nd $481, but the amount is suppose to decrease further. If anyone knows the exact amount, thanks.

Hi, the 2004 University of Sydney Honour Roll was printed in yesterday's Sydney Morning Herald. I'm proud to say I made on the list, as the recipient of the first AE Cahill History Prize. :D Anyone else here make this list?

Hmmm.. Found this online, advice for presenting speeches about the 'War on Terror'. Its really quite disturbing ; Two extracts; Which is of course interesting in light of repeated denials of links being made between Iraq and Al Qaeda... This is actually an official document, composed...

A merry Bloomsday to all. This thread is a place to discuss Ulysses. I loved it myself, being a brilliantly 'open' work with much wit, emotion, insight, commentary, and experimentation. Don't believe the counter-hype that its 'too difficult' to read, honestly. Also has a plethora of...

Hey all, is there a reason for the Arts forum being so quiet? Us Arts students are traditionally supposed to be the verbose ones, so we really should be talking more.. Anyway, to ask a generic question, how is everyone going and how are their assessments? I'm going swimmingly.. Managed to...

Just a brief question I'd like to resolve prior to Monday.. My PHIL 1010 Course Reader indicates that we're free to attend which of the three lectures (12-1, 3-4 or 6-7) is most suitable/preferable... In other subjects, (ENGL 1015 in my case), does this apply when lectures are repeated? Or in...

Seeing this topic presumably has not been discussed for some time, what are your favourite final tracks on albums? Mine would include; Radiohead-Street Spirit (fade out), The Tourist, Motion Picture Soundtrack Jeff Buckley-Dream Brother Pavement-Fillimore Jive Slint-Good Morning, Captain...

The 2003 'Notes From The Marking Centre' have been published, containing helpful advice for current HSC students (The 'Next Generation', to us semi-crusty 2003'ers). Selected Extracts: General Comments The more able candidates demonstrated that they were better prepared to address all...

Hey, to those who would hopefully know.. When do reading booklets for Arts subjects become available? Prior to O-Week? And if so, how much do they generally cost? (Unless they're mercifully free.) Curious for continuing my preparatory efforts. Thanks. :)

Just reporting on the tragical death of my acoustic guitar. I had it stood-up against a wall, only to have it pushed over hard by my younger brother, and see the top of the guitar (past the neck) snap off. Rather annoying, although I plan to classify it as the casualty of a wild stage show. :p...

To conclude the trilogy of purchase threads (Literary, Visual, Musical), please post what cds you have obtained as of late. Today I bought (First album I've bought since December); Flaming Lips-Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. What have you acquired?

A thread to list your favourite 'epic' and 'concise' songs. While this is of course an arbitrary chronological distinction, in this case, 'epic' is over 10 minutes, while 'concise' is below 2 1/2 minutes. :p Epic Sonic Youth-The Diamond Sea, Trilogy The Dirty Three-Authentic Celestial...

While they were an excellent band (Who else is into them?), and Loveless may very well be my favourite album, this thread is to offer news rather than praise..Although thoughts are certainly welcome. [From Pitchforkmedia] A My Bloody Valentine fansite has reported that two extensive...

The Name Of This Thread Is The Talking Heads... After a long period with little-to-no mention, I figured it was time to have a thread discussing The Talking Heads, a very underrated band. Most people remember them for pop hits such as 'Road To Nowhere' and 'Burning Down The House' (Not...

Consider for a moment, the humble 'Extended Play' release, a bridge between the single and the album/LP. While considering, perhaps you would answer the question; What are your favourite EPs? Mine are; Radiohead-My Iron Lung (It has The Trickster, Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong and...

Where do you stand? While online tests aren't definitive, I found a decent site to measure this; Political Compass Do the results correlate with your actual beliefs? The test labelled myself as mid 'Libertarian Left', which is my political position and/or beliefs.. Such beliefs as...

Of the syllabus, that is. To follow up the planned alterations to the Ancient History syllabus, a similar policy is being carried out for Modern History. This appears to consist largely of simplifying the content, trundicating portions of some units, and creating a seperate 'Personality'...

A thread within which to post links to sites of potential use or interest concerning literature, either those containing actual works, or discourse surrounding them. Some of my favourites; Works An Intercourse With Ghosts -Containing almost every Kafka short story. I particularly...

Thought I'd broaden the recent cavalcade of 'Favourite _______' threads. Simply put, this is a thread within which to share your favourite literary passages, and possibly comment on those of others. I have two. Firstly... And yet, and yet: even though human life did not reach beyond seeing...
