“It’s
Chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiistmas!”, as perma-screaming Slade urchin Noddy Holder insists on informing us from around the start of September
every year – and, as such, we’ll be getting into the festive spirit here at the SU throughout the last week of term with our various seasonal
events and outlet offers. We’ll also be posting our opening times for the vacation soon on the SU website, so make sure you keep checking
back for details of these if you’re still about over the holidays!
On an academic note, please make sure you’re up to date with all the latest news on this Tuesday’s upcoming strike action – you can read
the SU’s statement and find out more information about how this might affect you below. In the meantime, all the staff and officers here at
the SU wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and “yippee ki-yay” this festive season – stay safe over the
holidays, and we’ll see you all back here in 2014!

The SU has published its statement on the upcoming strike action this Tuesday (3rd December), which is available to view
online. Postgraduate Officer Lucy Gill has also written a blog post on the background to the strike and its relation to undergraduates –
you can read this here.

Come and join us in a veritable Winter Wonderland this Thursday as we bring you an Ice Rink in the Atrium, spectacular
seasonal décor, a live party band playing all your favourite hits, real reindeer out on the Piazza and much more. We’ll even guarantee the

Tickets cost £16 and are going fast – don’t leave it too late to get yours from warwicksu.com!

We spoke to over 1000 students at our Housing Day in the Atrium last week – a massive thanks to everyone who came along!
Head over to Welfare Officer Cat Turhan’s latest blog for an update on what went on, together with
photos from the event – if you missed it, however, don’t panic as there’s always information available to view online at warwicksu.com/advice.

A website by the name of Ratemash has been uploading photos from students' Facebook profiles without their consent and
exhibiting them for users to rate their "hotness", categorised by University. Cat Turhan has written a blog post on this issue – please take a moment to read it if you
think you might be affected by this and would like your pictures to be removed!
