No SU backing of RAG week?

Rag week should be stopped because of too many drunken students behaving like apes. I support the introduction of a minimum price on alcohol too.

Excellent news, the Students Union events are pathetic and only ever attended by massive losers who can't arrange their own social life.

Although all those points appear to be NUIG effectively bribing the SU to drop RAG Week, or threatening them with additional charges if they don't. Ethical.

Except when they increase tuition fees and end free grants, you won't be able to drink your head off because you will have a part-time job to fund your college course. Parents throw too much money to their siblings at college which results in street disorder and retarded drunken behavior in public. The Government will soon dent that too with the introduction of more taxes and thus lower the spendaholic nature of Irish families with their kids.

Jesus. Who pissed in your cheerios?

I already have a part time job but thats to fund summer activities not college fees. I only have 2 years left unless I do postgrad so i think ill avoid most of the fee increases. I don't know why parents would be throwing money at their siblings when its their children in college that really need it...

Anyway this is supposed to be about RAG week. As I already said I support the SU's decision.

I haven't become a different person but I have changed my opinion. I got confused between this thread and the one in the Galway city forum.... oops.

Everyone know's RAG week will go on as usual this year, with or without the SU. :P

I know just how to deal with that: organize continuous assessments for that week.

Also, the minimum pricing on alcohol will help out a stop on drunken yobbery.

No SU backing of RAG week? Good. Time to get back to the brass tacks of representing students and let the pubs of Galway run it themselves. Not like there's a shortage of them. Plus it would FINALLY take some pressure off the SU regards student behaviour.....

"But we don't run a RAG week.....No, you want to talk to the Manager of CP or *insert club here*"

Sure NUIG will just have their own rag week with GMIT.
