          With fantastic weather, the AUES water pistols made

drenching passers-by was not appreciated by many. The
tempting offer of “buy a free shirt, get a suck of goon” also
fell short as a promotional tool. The one tactic which did seem
to work was the offer of “free t shirt to any attractive girl who
takes her top off” (thanks Bigger and Better, or shall we say
Mrs Y and Mrs H). This brought in a couple of takers, and
definitely didn’t hurt the sale of men’s shirts either.

In early 2007 the AUES put a lot of effort into ready to break the 1500 mark in t-shirt sales. Go the Engies! planning events efficiently and catering for larger numbers which, throughout the year, saw us comfortably knock back 6-8 kegs in an It’s our strongest belief that the AUES is the best thing afternoon, even when it’s pouring with rain, like in Term 1.

Both Toohey’s increased so much that we now and The Office look to be occupy three venues at a time, long term sponsors, which culminating at St Pauls will only help the club to Nightclub. It was amazing to see grow in the coming years. the Adelaide streets flooded with well over a thousand engie pubcrawl tshirts.

So running four of these a year as well as other dirt cheap events such as Buck’s and Hen’s nights and quiz night ends up costing us approximately $10,000. To make up this loss each year we usually pimp out the president and women’s officer on Hindley street…no hang on that’s not what happens, I’ll try again - to make up this loss we use our pubcrawl as our major money spinner. Tshirts sell for $20 (possibly $25 in the future because they are becoming so damn popular) we scout around and find places that can do us a deal and we usually end up buying shirts on average for $8.50 to $10.00. So if we sell about 1000 shirts – there’s the $10,000 that we can spend on cheap BBQ’s for everyone. Unlike other dodgy clubs *cough* Med’s Laura Brooks and Zuhra Sadri *cough* the AUES has never, and will never spend its money on its own committee. We simply want to supply Engie students with Many of you are probably wondering “why the hell did damn good BBQ’s and with that attitude it’s no wonder they are Britney shave her head?” others are probably wondering “How damn good. does the AUES manage to run so many cheap events without Other means of raising money include the writing of this going bankrupt?”.

Rent of the vending machine is usually only about $2000 a The AUES has a great reputation for running “All you year and this magazine doesn’t raise anymore than that either.

In fact we usually run these BBQ’s at a loss of Women’s Officer’s write up and combat the issue of minority. In previous years, female specific events such as movie nights for female engineers unfortunately lacked interest. In 2006 the introduction of the Bucks and Hens night proved to be a great source of unity for females studying engineering and I think it’s safe to say that the Hen’s room’s success, rivalled the Buck’s room. 2007 continued this success and hopefully this new popular event helps to maintain a female friendly environment for years to come. 2007 was the Year of Women in Engineering, to help recognise this the Engineering Faculty hosted the Women in Rachel Eriksen and Nina Hydbom Technology Challenge where the AUES Women’s Officer helped many young women realise their potential in the world of The position of Women’s Officer on the AUES is engineering without be blown away by the distraction of arrogance probably one of the most difficult jobs to have.

  • 11. 99 AUES HYSTERESIS 06/07 Editorials Writing a yearbook for the AUES has proven to be a rather Many highlights stand out in this magazine to us, the editing large task for the editing committee. Not only because Jules set such committee. One such glorious moment can be found in the Vox Pop a great standard in 2005, but because Joel set such a low standard in section. For those who are unfamiliar with Vox Pop it simply involves 2006 (nothing….like absolutely nothing) which meant we had to the editing committee writing a few questions and then walking around somehow pick up his piss poor effort and somehow try to produce the engie buildings asking these questions and hopefully we receive something half as good as Jules did. So for a couple of blokes who some funny answers. Well not only did we receive some funny answers, had ¼ of the time to report on twice the amount of events with no but we received one particular funny answer in less than half a second, material to work on at all, I which, although is rather funny at first, think we did a passable job. it’s also rather disturbing as well. This Creating hysteresis answer we talk of, is Costa’s answer to involves many contacts, many the last question. hours of writing and many Writing hysteresis involved editorial fuck ups along the many many hours in the CATS typing, way. Some of these fuck ups editing, bugging people to submit, etc are just plain irritating, some of and frequent trips to obtain caffeine and them are rather funny.

After the initial shock and The Editors humour of stumbling across this settled in, we quickly added each of the personal contacts to our advertising list and sent them our To be honest, I haven’t even read what Tom wrote for the advertising prospectus, which quite easily quadrupled the size of the editorial, as it tends to be complete waffle.

I should say how he has given 4+ exceptional years Another humourous advertising moment occurred early on, service to the AUES, sometimes at the expense of his Masters and how as we pondered the potential for multiple companies wanting to he was the hardest worker in 06 and kept it right up in 07, putting so advertise on the back cover.

So funny in fact we got drunk at the 3rd Term BBQ all of the above is true and Tom deserves more credit than anyone else and told many people this. One of the first year punters at our BBQ on the AUES, it would go against what I’ve been saying for the last two also thought it was rather humourous, went home and told his older years (Worst President ever). So without further ado, let me introduce brother (a graduated engie) about it, who also thought it was rather the real Tom Vincent, the one that he doesn’t want people to see, or humourous……until we approached him about a week later for know about. They say that a picture’s worth a thousand words so here is sponsorship of said back cover. I still don’t know how we managed Tom, in a better description than words could possibly provide: to talk our way out of that one…..but as you can guess, he didn’t Xan request sponsorship of the back cover. Before anyone rants and raves and tries to label us as sexist and wrong, let us just explain that although this pic looks damn terrible, everyone involved had a great night (evident in other pics at the end of mag). Everyone has drunken photos that look worse than they really are. In fact, Helen submitted this pic herself in the pro-fun way that Helen is. Cheers Helen……and I’ll be forever sorry for how bad this photo looks. Tom. A special mention must be made from the hysteresis editorial committee that actually did something to the 06 editor (Joel). It wasn’t that he did absolutely stuff all for 2 years, it was that he continually promised that hysteresis would be created and everything was on track, even after the whole committee jumped on his back. I’m sure everyone can sympathise, that when doing a group project and be stuck with one of those people that promise oh so much and deliver oh so little. Recently the AUES has grown allergic to these types of people, if you are one of these people please do not have anything to do with the AUES …….subtle…..like a sledge hammer. 9

It was terrific to stick it up those dirty east- side-of-frome-road wankers. Although they didn’t give us the O’WEEK cup that we rightfully won, we took everlasting glory from that night and shouts of Engie, Engie, Engie filled the air.

The tempting offer of “buy a free shirt, get a suck of goon” also fell short as a promotional tool.
