Editorial
Well well well, look who came crawl-
ing back. I guess I gave you all less
credit then you deserved. I honestly
thought you would all give up this
“higher education” bullshit and live
a free, happy-go-lucky pants-less
lifestyle. I mean it’s pretty alluring
compared to the hard work and study
you are expected to do here.
I guess I’ll take this time to actually
give everyone a warm welcome back
to Uni, we may have lost a lot of good
people last year (those who gradu-
ated) but I did have a quick glimpse at
the first years and I think it’s safe to
say we have stumbled across some
adequate replacements.
Don’t let us down first years!
O-week was pretty massive but now it’s time to get down to seri-ous work. You are grown up now, no more mummy or high school teachers to hold your hand, you are going to have to make some hard Uni life decisions like, what alcoholic beverage you will drink at the crow bar, will it be goon & juice, a classic beer or maybe something more classy? omg Uni is too hard.
See you all at toga, it’s going to be huuuuge. -Will Whiting -Editor in Chief [email protected]

Recipes For a Beautiful Skin
Good skin care can make a world of
difference to how your skin looks and
feels, and can give you much more
confidence. Methods of skin care de-
pend on your skin type, and include:
normal, dry and oily. The following
easy recipes will help improve your
skin appearance and texture (whatev-
er skin type), as well as not breaking
the budget!
Soft skin recipe
Put the white of an egg, a teaspoon of
lemon juice, and the mashed pulp of
a half avocado into a blender to mix.
Wash your face and neck thoroughly,
and then apply the mixture evenly
over those areas. Let the mask say for
20 – 25 minutes, then remove with
tepid water and a face cloth.
Soft skin recipe
Mix green tea with hot water until
thoroughly mixed. Cool until the liquid
is at room temperature, and then
apply the toner mixture with a cotton
pad to face. Do not rinse. (Refrigerate
the unused portion for up to 3 days to
use again).
Face scrub recipe
Mix 1 tablespoon of honey with 2
tablespoons of finely ground almonds
(or sea salt) and 1/2 teaspoon lemon
juice. Rub gently onto face. Rinse off
with warm water.

You’re nOT at home anymore!!A special information series for those new to university
T his weeks first in our
series is
“WHY DON’T
PEOPLE SIT NEXT
TO ME!?!?!
Your Body
“You may stink” YEP! You can’t get
away from the fact that what is-
sues forth from your underarms, and
whatever other pocket body cavities
and skin folds that bacteria can breed
in, will contain something akin to the
smell of a garbage tip. You will most
times be sitting next to people or
working closely with people in the lab
etc. Your rep you are building will turn
to pus by not keeping tabs on your
personal habits. Showering daily and
wearing deodorant is a must its not
“I couldn’t be bothered because I’m
going to be late for class because last
night I helped Roms run out of beer”.
Your Butt
You’ve been around you for…well all
your life… but we haven’t. You may like
the smell of your own musk but most
of us who haven’t been around you
are going to wonder why you smell
like that new cologne “Barnyard No
7”.
Most of us can tell the difference between students with a little
cow or horse caca on their boots as apposed to what has been
riding around in you undies for three days. Its such a beauti-
ful experience to be working next to someone who thinks that
skiddies in their undies is freakin normal. The best thing to do
is to wash your clothes and wear clean clothes. This isn’t usu-
ally a problem for girls but guys tend to forget about the whole
clothes washing paradigm. I can safely say this about guys as I
have been working and camping with guys on far flung sites for
some time now.
Tootsies
Feet keep us moving and as bffs they are in contact with the
ground a lot and can pick up lots of really cool stuff. I hear your
say that “I wash my feet” when your in the shower, but what
about the people in your dorm/house/flat etc. Toe jam, athletes
foot, the sabre tooth toe cricket, what ever you call it let me the
bearer of biologically fungal tidings. If you get it you’ll have it for
the rest of your days. How to keep from getting this is simple
“Wash the shower and put fungal powder on ya feet moron!!!!”
We hope that you’ll enjoy next weeks “You’re not at home any-
more” which will be on mouth health or WHY ARE MY TEETH
GREEN!!!!

SSAF - Outcomes for Students
I am pleased to announce projects to
improve facilities and services for stu-
dents at Charles Sturt University have
been allocated almost $4.2 million in
funding from the Student Services
and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
They are, overwhelmingly, projects
called for and selected by students,
for students.
Many of these projects will improve
our on campus facilities and services.
A swipe-card system will be intro-
duced to provide better security and
access to a range of recreational facil-
ities, and space across all campuses
will be extended to meet increasing
demand from CSU’s growing sport-
ing clubs. Recreation and study areas
will be refurbished, office and meeting
space will be built in Albury-Wodonga
for the SRC and student support
services and a range of small-scale
student social, health and learning
facility upgrades will be undertaken
across our campuses.
Distance education students will be
provided with increased online and
social media support, more opportu-
nities to connect socially and better
access to on campus facilities dur-
ing residential schools. Staff will be
recruited to provide more face-to-face
and after-hours learning support,
and library hours will be extended to
provide better access for students
juggling full-time work and study. The
‘Welcome to CSU’ program will be
expanded to provide orientation and
academic preparation for students
studying via distance education, and
a range of online tools and mobile ap-
plications will be developed.
This will be underpinned by an exten-
sive consultation process to ensure
distance education students get the
support they need in the way that
suits them best.
Other services available to all stu-
dents include improved online spaces
and information provision, the intro-
duction of a video practice interview
system which can simulate a variety
of real-world interview situations, im-
provements to the services accessible
through the CSU Card, the creation of
an online shop, discounted food and
beverages and extended counseling,
mentoring, health promotion, finan-
cial, sporting, orientation, mentoring
and childcare services.
Work will commence immediately
but may continue into 2014 on some
projects.
Although some proposals put for-
ward for funding were not able to be
included in the current allocations,
it is important to note the process is
ongoing. The University welcomes
suggestions from students for ser-
vices and facilities that improve the
student experience. You can provide
feedback via the SRC or the feedback
form on the CSU student website
(http://www.csu.edu.au/courses/
fees-and-costs/student-services-and-
amenities-fee). I thank each of you for
your participation in this consultation
process and welcome your feedback
on the final allocations. Thanks must
also go to the CSU staff who formed
the SSAF Project Team and worked
hard to ensure available funding was
allocated in the most equitable and
effective way.

Perhaps some of you
remember MacGyver a
character from a 80s TV
show? I confess I was
pretty young at the time
and all I can remember
is a blonde curly mullet
(*shudder*) and the fact
that he always stayed
cool to come up with
creative solutions.
According to Wikipedia
(a thoroughly reliable
resource) MacGyver
use to find non-violent
solutions and refused to
use a hand gun. Hippie-
little-me thinks that’s
pretty cool.
With the benefit of mod-
ern television you can
watch all the repeats of
horrid shows as often as
you want... channel surf
for further research.
Anyway, why bring up
this 80s action hero?
Well I find it interesting
to watch people’s reac-
tion to situations. Let
use an example:
Cruising home from Fri-
day Unwind you can see
an individual lying on
the grass about 500m
in front of you, they are
not moving. What do
you do?
Some people think:
“OMG IS THAT PERSON
PASSED OUT FROM
DRINKING TOO MUCH?
HAVE THEY BEEN AT-
TACKED AND MURDERED? OMG IS
THE MURDERER STILL HERE? LOOK
AT THAT STICK – THAT’S SOOOO
THE WEAPON!!!” So they quickly run
up to the ‘victim’ “OMG ARE THEY
BREATHING!?! THEY’RE CHEST ISN’T
MOVING. LIKE I AM SO THE NEXT
VICTIM!!! RUN FOR IT, RUN FOR IT!!!”
Forgive the exaggeration. But it’s so
true. Our minds go into over-drive-
panic-mode when we perceive some-
thing is out of order.
What would MacGyver think?
“There’s a person on the grass over
there. Gee I look sexy in my flannel-
ette and jeans. He dude are you ok?”
(Prods with foot)

“Oh you’re sleeping. Mmmm...K. Rest
up. Nice night for it. Peace” (Goes
about his business of fashioning a
scooter from surrounds sticks to scoot
home on, faster than walking).
So how does this nonsense help you?
You’re going to come across panic-
moments at university and in life. The
key is to ‘stay cool MacGyver’. Don’t
freak out if you don’t understand
something. Just accept you haven’t
got it yet. Go over the same theory in
different text books, resources, talk
with other people and nag you lectur-
ers until you do get it. Some students
assume that they are to immediately
understand. Learning is a process, it’s
gradual. Don’t put a hypothetical hand
gun to you head and threaten yourself
and beat yourself up because the the-
ory hasn’t stuck or the practicals are
not going well.
Panic, angry, regret, etc. lock you up
and tie you down.
Be nonviolent – wrestle with the bad
guy/women/whatever in your head,
disarm them, tie them up and ignore
their voices. Go on calmly resolving
the problem.
I recommend walks, run, cycles, dog
pats, bath cleaning room, etc. – do
something to get out of the self-in-
duced mental-abuse cycle.
Work consistently on this during the
year. Tackle many questions, issues
and challenges.
You’ll be able to find solutions, re-
sources and persistence for taking on
assignments.
This way you’ll end up in exams with
that cool, calm and collected attitude.
Embrace and embody the MacGyver in
you (mullet or not).
Stay cool!

CHANGES TO THE EXCLUSION REGULATIONS:
!Under the University’s Academic
Progress regulations students can be
excluded from their course in a few
circumstances.
Students can be excluded from their
course for 2 years if they:
• Fail a key subject twice
• Fail any subject in their bachelors
honours year
• Fail a practicum (1, 2 or 3 year exclu-
sion applies)
• Exceed maximum time to complete
their course
The maximum time is twice the nor-
mal rate (e.g. your course is 3 years
long full-time, your maximum time
to complete is 6 years; if your course
can be take part-time then this would
be 12 years). Note, certain courses
have licensing restrictions which may
mean a shorter maximum time (e.g.
Nursing), so check with your course
director if you are not sure.
• Pass less than 50% of their subject
points in each session of enrolment
If you pass less than 50% the first
time you will be considered “at risk”
If you pass less than 50% in the next
session you study, you can be exclud-
ed from your course.
What can you do so that you don’t get
excluded?
• Know when the Census day is and
make sure your enrolment is cor-
rect. Census date is the last date
that students can withdraw from a
subject without failing or seeking an
approved withdrawal. Note: Interna-
tional students must still be enrolled
full-time.
This session, Census date is 27
March.
• Know what the key subjects of
your course are – not sure? Ask your
course director.
• Attend classes and turn in assign-
ments on time.
• Get help with assignments by talking
to your lecturer, and making a Learn-
ing Skills Appointment before your
assignment is due.
• If you are having personal or family
issues, or illness inform your lectur-
ers. Ask for help from your Student
Support Officer. Submit a request for
special consideration with documen-
tation of the circumstances.
• If you get notified that you are at risk
or that you are going to be excluded,
contact your Student Support officer
for advice about appealing.
