Rag Week 2007

Nickibaby*

Does anyone know when rag week is this year?

K.O.Kiki

WTF is rag week?
I don't remember being prescribed a uniform... do we all dress as hobos or something?

Merrick

Ah poor old Kiki, I'd say you slept through it last year :rolleyes:

I haven't a clue when it is, but for Kiki and others like him, it's when we go and get wasted for a week. College Heights will be an interesting place to be in when the time comes.

Atomic Pineapple

its on the week beginning the 12th of feb

college heights was mental last year, if you live there dont leave your house open there was lots of people goin round goin in and wrecking houses and fas people who had no where to stay goin round trying windows and stuff trying to get into houses

europerson

^^^What?! That's mad behaviour altogether. Sometimes I really wonder about DKIT...

hell yeah! a whole week of getting sh*t faced, and on the Friday I'll be celebrating my 21st. My god I'll be in some state after that week

Atomic Pineapple

might be the 28th now, apparently the vice wants it the 12th cos if we have it on the 28th thats the same week as our mid term break but the "prez" wants it the 28th to not interfere with classes or something, will know more later today...

The Bollox

ah, a fellow rep eh?

roll on Rag Week, I wan't wait for the mock wedding

Atomic Pineapple

nope not a rep at all just know someone thats in there in the su somewhere

yeh the mock wedding is definatly the highlight of rag week! was very good last year, so good in fact that i went home eat a pizza which didnt stay there for too long and collapsed into bed not making it anywhere near sky for the night part , great fun

The Bollox

right, here's the scoop:

as it stands Rag week with be on the week starting 12th February, the same week as Shag week. The reason they have combined the two weeks is because there was a very bad turnout for the daytime entertainment last year as everyone took it as a week off college. Having the two events on the same week SHOULD improve the turnout.

if there is any changes to this I will let you all know

Bluetonic

Jesus, I remember the the day back in the mid 1990s, queueing up in the morning in the freezing cold to get a cloak room ticket which would enable you to buy your Rag Week tickets at a certain hour, if you didn't have a ticket below 200 you'd be worrying about the Mock Wedding.

Ah bliss.

Atomic Pineapple

i think the way they sell the tickets is a joke, letting 3rd and 4th years have whatever they want for the first day leaving the years with the majority of students in them having to put up with big q's, the classes on during rag week fiasco didnt help last year either and i know of alot of people that actually didnt go to anything as a protest against the student union.

oh and the fact that there wasn't anything worth going to during the day last year would probably be a big factor in the fact no one went, i mean the pro evo tournament should have been allowed to be played in front of a big crowd and there was only 15 contestants let join? what a joke.

And they already cant even decide what week to have it on this year? :rolleyes:

The Bollox

tbh, being a 3rd year, I am in full support of the selling of the tickets. Not every 3rd or 4th year is going to want to go, but it gives us the choice, which is a nice way of saying "thank you for being at this college for more than 2 years"

Atomic Pineapple

fair enough marts you can get me my tickets

The Bollox

no can do, they have a strict policy of only 1 ticket per student at rag week

not last year, i got loads of tickets for all events only one where they limited the tickets to me was the wedding, could only buy 2

The Bollox

well if you got loads of tickets last year what's stopping you getting loads this year?

Atomic Pineapple

nothin, was only messing, sorry if i caused any offence

Galvasean

I stayed homew last year for rag week. i think Ill stick around this year though.

Rudolph Claus

but the "prez" wants it the 28th to not interfere with classes or something, will know more later today...

At least 1 of them has a bit of cop on then! We`d 6 weeks off for christmas, we dont need a mid term week and a stupid rag week. The rag week events and crap should be organised within the midterm break every year.

Atomic Pineapple

got the itenary there yesterday, definatly on the 12th, rag/shag week, theres a few interesting things on it, foam party in silence on tuesday night and the comedian from naked camera

MDTyKe

Rag week is the biggest waste of well, anything I've heard of. The Raise a Grand or whatever aspect of it is nice, but our SU does nothing but plan 'balls', stupid 'miss dkit' things that nobody but themeselves has an interest in, and do parking protests MONTHS too late *after* contracts have already been signed...

Rudolph Claus

Who said that DKIT was one the top colleges in Ireland ???????????????????????

We are talking about Rag Week, perhaps you're on the wrong thread or something....

Rudolph Claus

The lecturers personal develpoment meetings and crap is on the week the 5th of March which there`ll be no classes. Is this not also our mid-term? We`re not off again on the 28th are we? Whens Easter this year, will we be off then too?

This is the thing that really really really really really piss-es me off about this college,,, nobody tells you anything. If you ask a lecturer or someone in the office whats happening they tell you 1 thing and someone else tells you another. The timetable in the little handbook you get at the start of the year is complete shhit. Its impossible to plan anything with the joke of a timetable and constant changes.

I heard rag week was ****e this year... True or false?

It was pretty bad. I never turned up last year but everyone said rag week is great and i must come this year. How disappointed was I...

Atomic Pineapple

i agree, it was very poor this year, lasts years week was much better organised with much more stuff on during the week, pro evo tournaments, hypnotist, a male comedian (no offence but women comedians just arent funny) and it was much better organised with posters stating what was on, what time and where.

Galvasean

Apparently Maeve Higgins was a last minute addition (hence the crap photocopied posters advertising her) because the real comedian had to pull out. I saw her perform in a pub last year. Waste of €8. Someone should tell her it is a comedian's job to tell jokes.:mad:

There was nothin but crappy posters advertising anything, granted I believe it was organised in a rush but last years one was so much more professional

The Bollox

and last year the vice prez emailed us the schedule for the events in Rag Week. This year we didn't get anything.

are any of you going to run for the postition of President / Vice President of the SU this year?

was thinking of goin for vice president myself but i assume you have to be popular to have a starting chance at getting enough votes??

yeh we have a poster from rag week last year and we were just looking at it there the other, so much better.

do you know how the vice presidency works mart?
as in do you need to be in a certain year or anything like that to apply?

The Bollox

as far as I know you don't NEED to be in a certain year, like a first year could run, but the chances of winning would be well against you. The best year to apply (IMO anyway) is third year, because I don't think you can go for it if you're in your final year

Atomic Pineapple

3rd year could be my final year (am currently in second) do you continue with your studies when your vice president yeh or do you take a year off?

The Bollox

you take a year off
