=============
 Quiz Knight
=============
Zey say in Soviet Russia, Quiz knights you (nyet). The join UCC/UniSFA
Quiz night/rap battle is happening this Friday (the 25th) in the UWA
Tavern. Doors open from around 7.30ish. Tables of (around) 8. Get your
tickets before the night for $5 or $10 at the door. There may even be
prizes, auctions, liquor and who knows.

===============
 Freedom Vigil
===============
The Cameron Hall Freedom Vigil (known by others as the Charity Vigil)
will be held this year on Friday September 8th. For UCC newcomers, the
Vigil is a chance to stay up all night and play computer games, while
raising money for charity. Our chosen charity for this year is the Stand
By Me Youth Service, which runs programs and provides advocacy for
teens. There'll be more than just a LAN running during the Vigil, though
- Unisfa will be screening movies, UWAnime will  be running an anime
screening, and Unigames will be providing boardgames  and running
one-off dungeon crawls. Pizza for dinner and pancakes for  breakfast
will be provided free. Entry will cost you $10 at the door or at  least
$8 sponsorship, but of course please try and get as much sponsorship as
you can. Forms will be available in all relevant clubrooms by this
afternoon.

=================================
 Coke and Door Groups: Heads up!
=================================

All members of Coke and Door groups are reminded that they need to read
their UCC mail regularly - at least once a week. This is particularly
important in the next fortnight, as group members can expect an e-mail
that they MUST respond to if they wish to keep their position.

You can read your UCC mail at http://webmail.ucc.asn.au/ - if you're
interested in setting up automated SPAM filtering with a minimum of
fuss, a wheel member can show you how.

============================
 0x20th (Oppression) Dinner
============================
The UCC 0x20nd Dinner is on, sign up at http://ucc.asn.au/dinner06/, etc
etc.

If you can't make it to the dinner because you're out of the country,
you're on night-shift at the NOC or any other reason, we'd still like to
have you in spirit if not in body. Send us a postcard! Members and
ex-members can send us a postcard saying where they are, what they're
doing and their current cell number or security clearance, if
applicable,
to:
 Dr ACC Murphy
 Box 22, M300
 Guild of Undergraduates
 University of Western Australia
 35 Stirling Hwy
 Crawley, Western Australia, 6009

We'd like to get postcards from anyone who's ever been an UCCan, so pass
the word on!

 Lore
======
Thanks to the hard work of Grahame and his crack team of contributing
monkeys. Lore is coming. It'll be a bumper issue, and it's out before
piffle, so spend your piffle money buying a copy of this instead.

---
This Murphy's Lore was brought to you at the expense of 50 minutes of
extra sleep I could have had. I hope you're grateful you dirty, unwashed
sods. A cymbal is a brass disk that represents something else.
