First year really isn’t important, so dont forget to get locked as often as possible....but do at least pass your exams (‘cause you gotta pay for repeats...not good!)

What you need to know, according to dit students
- Luc O Cinnseala
Join societies. They are the best way to
meet friends as well as possibly giving
you some good stuff to put to put down
on your CV in the future. I recommend
Drama Soc!
Make sure to find your nearest and best pub and go there with your class on one of the first days of term - very important for groupbonding!
Rachael Ryan
Don’t b
e afraid to ask people in
the Student’s Union for help. They’re
really friendly and really helped
calm me down when I was having
serious problems figuring out
how grants work.

Start where you finish - what you
get involved in for the first few
months, you will do for the rest
of your time in DIT so choose
wisely!

”Join a club and or society and go out often especially in the first few weeks. Meet new people and make new friends.
Get involved in clubs and societies and take the time to see your classmates out-side of college. Remember that it takes time to build friendships so be patient.
Gillian Middleton
Niall Kelly
”Register with www.boards.ie. There’s a DIT message board there - a brilliant place for getting answers to anything DIT related.

Go to everything that DIT organises for you, like class orientation - even if they are are a bit cringey - it’s the best thing though because you get to know everyone. Be realistic, there is work involved in college! Steven Pierce
“Love, Live, Experience...
Have no regrets.”
“Trinners and UCD heads will constantly slag you for ‘not going to a real college’....just tell them that it technically has university status....and to go buy some more vintage
scarves and Ugg boots.”
“Become friends with your tutor, it makes excuses for missing the odd tutorial far
more plausible.”
“Be determined that when you leave college in a couple of (terribly short)
years, you will have gotten the best out of it, and you won’t regret a thing - and
don’t look back.”
“Make friends with the mature students - they
have the best notes.”
“Clubs and societies - get involved as much as possible.As I was told in secondary school and I’ve really learned is true, you get out what you put in. Throw yourself into the college experience - the freedom, the fun, the people, the craziness. You don’t get it anywhere else. You really don’t. Throw yourself into the college
experience, you won’t regret it.”
“Dont go home when your exams finish, stay till June or else come back up in
June and go to the Art Exhibitions (Make friends with Art people) Free wine and
beer and you get to actually judge art.”

“This year I achieved a lifelong goal by
covering a World Cup final… but the path
to South Africa for me started by reporting
on DIT in the Sigerson Cup. The very first
sports article I ever had published
was in the old DIT Independent
newspaper and it made me aware
that, as much as I thought I
knew from the journalism degree
and even reading other people’s
articles, there’s nothing quite like
writing something that’s going
to be published. It forces you to
hone your craft. For employers too, it
provides them with an immediate portfolio of work to pore
over”
Miguel Delaney, Sports Journalist, The Tribune
“Some of my favourite
memories from college
are of working on student
publications - from
the newsroom banter
to last-minute panic
before deadline to the
satisfaction of seeing
your name in print and
other students enjoying
the finished product. And
there’s so much more to it
than writing, it’s a great
chance to get involved in
all aspects of production
like lay-out, photography,
editing or organising
fashion shoots and going
to movie press screenings!
It gave me fantastic
experience that helped me
to become the first editor
of the DIT News and go
on to start a career in the
media”
Katie Teehan Sub Editor, The Sun
“One of the first people I
interviewed for what was then
the DIT Independent was
rugby pundit and broadcaster
George Hook, who was a
student at DIT before he went
on to bigger and better things.
Looking back, those interviews taught me a few things about
life and journalism: 1) If you don’t ask, you don’t get 2) Never
underestimate how useful the contacts you make in college
will be and 3) Writing for the college paper can be a lot of fun.
I used clippings from the DIT Indo to help get my first jobs
in journalism but ultimately I wrote for the paper because I
enjoyed it. I’m still writing today for that same reason.
Like most things in life, a college paper is what you make of it.
Enjoy the process and see where it takes you.”

Ask the professionals who started out in DIT...
“The single greatest way you can become a journalist is through
practice. Write, write and write some more. I regret not getting
more involved in the student newspaper when I was in college
and know now that it would have been a big help. Newspaper
editors don’t just want story ideas - they want good copy. And
you won’t improve your copy unless you practice. So contribute
and you’ll be ready to take up a job when you leave.”
Colette FitzpatrickPresenter, TV3
“Writing for your college newspaper is
astepping stone on your career path. It’s
an opportunity to gain valuable work
experience, develop your news sense,
gather contacts, hone journalistic
skills and build self -confidence. It will
show future employers that you are
ambitious, dedicated and able.”
Lynsey KielyRTE 2fm
“It is so important to
get involved with the
college newspaper! I
was the photographer
for the DIT newspaper
and I got to blag
my first photo passes
for gigs because of it
which was amazing!
I made so many
contacts who I still
work with,and it
really taught me a
lot about following
deadlines and
working long hours!”
Lili ForbergPhotographer
“DIT wasn’t a college, it was more like a
family of crazed personalities on acid...it was
home. Writing and editing the paper
gave me an opportunity to engage
with the student body, express
opinion and think outside the
box. It was never a task, more so a
privilege. Everyone should write whether
it be a blog or a feature on the inside of
a red baloon! Get involved and be part
of something amazing... it only becomes
your news and your voice when you
takeownership of it. So like NIKE...just do
iy it!”
Fergal D’Arcy Radio DJ, i102-104fm
What a difference a year can make...
Steven Pierce talks to Newbie about his first year in DIT, winning fresher of the year award and going on to
become director of the 2011 fashion show
How did you get involved in the fashion society?
Because I came back to college for a second time around, I decided to give it my all. The first time I went to college I didn’t really get involved, I only joined one society so I wanted this time to be different. I just joined as an ordinary member and got talking to the people involved and they said they needed a treasurer so I decided to go for it. I like accounting and I knew it would be good experience. I then decided to join the PR team so I was on the committee from the get go.
What did your role as treasurer entail?
It was a dual role because I kept the books for the fashion society as well as the show. So anything we needed throughout the year, I looked after the expenses and then after Christmas I had to budget for the show. The committee would come to me and tell me what they needed so I’d have to decide if we could afford it.
Can any first year put themselves forward for the role?
It’s such a big role, the fashion show is a huge production. But the support you get is so good, you’re taught how to do it. I suppose someone would have to be organised and be comfortable with numbers and accounts.
What were the best parts of being involved in the society?
The best parts were meeting the different people. It was also really good to work as a team with the committee as it wasn’t something I had done before - we all got on so well. There were obviously disagreements here and there but that’s something you learn to deal with too, you learn to take different perspectives on board and decide on the best way forward. It was great planning the event and meeting with mentors. They’re people who help with the fashion show. We have a PR mentor and a fashion mentor. It’s great to get experience outside the classroom – you learn how things actually work in the real world.
Did you find your college work suffered?
I was really focused because it was my second time coming to college and I really wanted to do well in my exams. But I did find things got very busy, especially coming towards the show. Because it was in March, you’re coming up to the end of the year and there’s so much going on.
You won best fresher in Ireland, how did that come about?
Well I had to make a portfolio with everything I had done throughout the year, including pictures and details about my roles in the different societies like BAM and SVP. Then I had to do an interview with a panel of judges and then I did a mini presentation to all the other nominees. We were up against Trinity, DCU, Maynooth and NUI Galway.
So how did you become the director of this year’s show?
The director from the previous year passes on the role to someone who is, first of all interested, but someone they feel would be able to do it, it’s informal. I suppose because I got so involved last year they saw that I loved it and would want to be director. It’s a lot of responsibility, it’s a big show to take on and I
had to think about it. I had to consider how I would balance my studies but it is such a great opportunity.
Are you daunted at all?
There’s loads to organise but I’m excited. I cant wait to sign up new members and get the committee formed, I’d say more excited than daunted.
How can people get involved?
We have a meeting after the sign up day and it’s really up to the people to put themselves forward if they want to be on the committee. So it could be members from last year but we start off with a blank slate so people can put themselves forward. Obviously if people were involved last year they might want to get more involved, so it’s a kind of progression. But having said that, I came in as treasurer so freshers can get on the committee so I’d say ‘bring them on!’
What plans have you got for 2011?
We want to make it bigger and better! We want even more people involved – we got 350 members who signed up last year. We want more nights out and various fashion events.

Old School Learning....
There has been a DIT Mature Student Office in place for a few years now and the face of that office is Bob O’ Murchu, a mature graduate from DCU. The purpose of the office is to help mature and non-traditional students cope with returning to study, which can be daunting – academically, personally and financially.
On 7 September 2010, the office hosted the second annual Mature Student Induction day, which aims to help students orient themselves and meet other students in the same campus and course.
More than 300 mature students are registered to attend this year. When asked how his office was coping, Bob’s reply was a sober, but tellingly high-pitched, ‘Grand’!
Bob also started the Mature Student Society, which was re-christened the DIT Old School Society (D.O.S.S.) last year. It’s not just about coffee mornings, bowling and bingo either. In June, 15 members of the society
took a mini-bus to Achill for a weekend of horse-riding, kayaking, archery and bonding – especially with the locals!
This year also sees the introduction of the Mature Student Ambassador scheme, an idea picked up from similar programs in other colleges and from the Access Programme in DIT.
Volunteer mature students will act as ‘social mentors’ for new mature students entering college for the first time – to answer general questions and offer general advice on where to get more expert help.
There are eight ambassadors this inaugural year, spread across the five main campuses. If it proves successful, there are plans to roll out for all students.
And Bob’s top three tips for new mature students? Say hello to people, manage your time effectively and watch your budget. Not bad words to live your life by.
This year has seen a 12 per cent increase in place offers to mature students in DIT. From just over 300 in 2009, the mature student figures have risen to 430 college acceptances this year. Fionnuala Holohan explains all there is to know about Old School learning

A mature student is defined as a student over 23 on 1st of January on the year they start college, sothere is a broad spectrum of matures out there. From young people coming back from travelling to mid-lifers looking to change careers or follow their dreams, everyone has their story to tell.
What is a mature student?
Helen completed her pre-degree access course last year.
This year she enters first-year as a full-time undergraduate in Spatial Planning in DIT and plans to pursue a Masters after she graduates.
She found that matures can often feel they may not have what it takes to gain a degree, and the access course helped her gain that self-confidence.
“Relax, partake and enjoy as the time flies by” she advised, “embrace the experience.”
Derek is going into third year Mechanical Engineering in DIT this year. For Derek, his motivation to return to education was to achieve a potential that he did not realise in school.
“I thought I could have done better in school,” he said. “I’m making the effort now and I’m doing somuch better than I ever did then, which is a great confidence boost.”
His biggest challenge was getting back to education from being on social welfare, but that is now firmly behind him and he has sights on working abroad in Asia when he graduates.

as simple as an appeal form, all the way up to needing legal
representation”
“My main challenges are to do with staff shortages

department and the whole of DIT”
things you might not know about the student union..
In 2004 there was a referendum where students agreed to accept a constitution. Now, if the student union wants to make any changes to the constitution, there must be another referendum. In other words, the union can’t deviate from what they’re supposed to be doing.
The President is not the head of the Student Union, the governing council is. The President and both Vice Presidents are held accountable to them. Anyone can become members of the governing council.
The Governing Council are policy makers. If you feel strongly about something, whether it’s about the Civil Partnership Bill or nominating a charity for the year, you can ask the Student Union to support you.
Citywise is the chosen charity of the year, all money raised by DIT will go to them. They help young people get back into, and see the value of education

Wanna be a class rep?
Media Arts student Glenn Fitzpatrick tells Newbie about his experience as a class rep and how it can be the best way to meet new people
For how long were you class rep?
I’ve been Class Rep for two years, hopefully entering my third year now. Being a true believer in democracy, we’ll be holding a class vote to decide that matter!
Why did you decide to go for the position?
Going into a college where I knew nobody, I figured what better way to meet people than to stand for election. Everyone who wanted to stand for election was made stand up in front of the class and say a few words about themselves. I wouldn’t have minded if some-one else was chosen because at the very least it was a good icebreaker but as it turned out, I was chosen!
How did you get elected?
We all knew that a Class Rep had to be elect-ed sooner rather than later so a few of us who had gotten to know each other went and got a few pamphlets from the DITSU office, brought them up to one of our classes where we were all together and held the elections on the spot. Make sure to double check with
your local DITSU office how many reps your class is entitled to. We have two due to our size.
What does being class rep entail?
That’s an open question really. It can entail as much or as little as you want it to. The main thing you’ll find yourself doing is spreading news around the class for things like can-celled lectures, nights out, house parties and making sure no one is left out. You’ll also be the one establishing contacts with nightclubs so you can get concessions for nights out.
Then there’s the deep stuff. Try make it to the class rep meetings in order to find out what’s happening. There’ll be campaigns on that you’ll need to let your class know about such as protests against fees. It’ll be up to you mo-tivate your class into attending these events. Lastly, there’ll be times throughout the year when something won’t be running smoothly
17
with a lecture and you’ll have to have the proverbial cojones to take the problem to the relevant authority and try find a resolution.
What’s the best part about being class rep?
I think it gave me a great footing to get to know everybody in the class. When things like class trips come off successfully, it’s a really nice feeling to know you’ve contributed to that.
What was the most difficult part?
I often get the impression that class reps are looked down upon by staff. Not to generalise, a lot of lecturers are very approachable and accommodating but the odd time you’ll feel futile in your efforts to sort something out. Programme commitees don’t seem to ever achieve anything, especially when they don’t happen due to people not showing up. Don’t let it get you down though.
What sort of activities would you organise?
See my article about the importance of a trip away with your class, that’d be the big one to aim for. Also, you’ll need to rely on the people
with apartments for house parties. These all night sessions are crucial in helping your class gel. The first few months should be all about you getting your class familiar with each other so try have something every so often. One in particular I enjoy is the Secret Santa at Christmas time. Don’t forget, if you’re stuck for a contact for a club, pop down to the DITSU office, they’ll point you in the right direction as well.
What advice would you give to a first year considering becoming a class rep?
Go for it, simple as. Last thing you want is a situation where your class has no represen-tative. It’s up to ye to elect one so don’t be dwelling expecting someone else to. I would also advise any aspiring reps to establish a good relationship with your lecturers where possible. You’ll be surprised how much easier compromises can be reached when you can actually knock on their door and be greeted with a smile rather than hostility.
Remember to check with
your student union to see how reps your class are entitled
to!

Deep fried mars bars, whiskey and kilts. What else can Edinburgh offer a bunch of media arts students? Glenn Fitzpatrick went to find out...
Scoundrels in Scotland

First of all, I would like to welcome all newcomers to DIT. I am sure that you will feelintegrated into what really is a fine institution and despite its’ flaws, is the bestplace to get your degree. Once the madness of Fresher’s week is over though, classeswill reign supreme until Christmas and things may start to get a little hectic. It’simportant to start the year with a few house parties and class nights out in order tobreak the proverbial ice. After that though, think big. Think about a trip. A trip that will not only give your class a great formation, but a trip that will be wellneeded come January. I was thankful to get away to Edinburgh for a short post-exam break with my belovedMedia pals last January. Edinburgh is a beautiful city blessed with both history andentertainment. The banter was top notch and the whiskey was an experience to say theleast. This break away was just what I needed after a hectic few months and it gave me the chance to take a back seat and put everything into perspective. Even if it’sstaying up all night in a hostel room packed with 17 other people talking about how funny queefing is (and yes that did happen) nonstop for hours, putting ‘queef’into every song we could think of, crying with laughter and having it physicallyhurting is an experience to top any sort of drug. If you have the chance to take abreak and take a back seat for a few days then go for it. Go to Scotland, drunkenly bellow out their national anthem and experience a deep-fried mars bar, if that’s tickles your fancy. If that’s not enough for you, take a walk on Princes Street and venture to the
park. Some of us even decided to race up the hill towards the castle. Then there’s theRoyal Mile which is a great place to go exploring. A few of us found a tiny little bardown an alleyway called the Jolly Judge which boasts a fine pint of lager. The studentlife over there is top notch and you won’t be short on clubs that are all too keen ongetting you hammered with some great drink offers. Personally I enjoyed The CabaretVoltaire’s drum n’ bass dubstep Tuesday night session. But you’ll be spoilt for choiceso if that’s not your cupán tae then don’t worry. A break away may seem frivilous but this trip demonstrated to me exactly how important it can be to give you time off college stuff. Once you have returned, a new light is shed on everything and many of the things that bothered you don’t anymore. Before I went away I was ranting and raving about everything from Blasphemy Laws to Bananarama and while I am certain at some stage I will be forced into a debate about the former once more, it is nice to feel refreshed and ready to take on the year ahead.

Louvain-la-Neuve... Where?
Imagine the promised Grangegorman campus, throw it about thirty kilometers into the countryside and you’ve got the jewel of Belgium’s student crown. Louvain-la-Neuve (LLN) is quite literally a student haven in the middle of nowhere and will remain great as long that stays like that.
Just as drinking straight vodka or kissing four people in one night becomes unacceptable once you hit 18, you can only really live in this place while still in your carefree college years.
The whole town was built in the 1960s following a bitter split from a larger university of Leuven. The product is a planned town where lecture halls sit alongside shops and pubs and public order is optional.
Students are insanely proud of their

university and seeing students wearing Harry Potter-esque caps and capes, symbolising their “Kots” (essentially fraternities), is all too common.
Even more common is the sight of crate after crate of beer being carried, capped and consumed . The cheapest crate of 24 will set you back €3.50 while a decent brand will cost you a whopping €9. Bacardi Breezer and Smirnoff Ice are a no-go but fear not if beer isn’t your thing. Kriek is a beer based drink flavoured with bitter cherries and is something you will search high and low for when you’ve left Belgium.
Following on from the traditional pre-drinking, you will most likely end up in a “Cercle”, an underground party where you will don your scummiest jeans, hoodie and runners and pay 90c for cups of beer. You will relish the darkness after you begin to wonder what that liquid on the floor is. Suffice to say, it can be presumed that the main ingredients are beer and bodily fluids.
A week, um, “studying” really tires the Belgians out and do not underestimate me when I say the town empties at the weekends. All that remain are masses of foreigners (that means you) who are left wandering around wondering why even
Subway is closed on a Sunday.With international trains costing you the
best part of your Erasmus grant and whatever money you’ve milked from your parents, Eurolines buses are your cheapest and next quickest options to visit the nearest major cities of Paris, Amsterdam and Cologne.
Belgium itself boasts some of Europe’s most beautiful cities such as Bruges, Antwerp and of course Brussels. Charleroi, with an impressively high unemployment rate, should be avoided like the plague unless industrial towns in decline, petty crime and burnt out trams float your boat (or in this case, dilapidated barge).
Brussels is exactly what you make of it; if you spend your day looking for equivalents of the Eiffel Tower or Arc de Triomphe, you will be disappointed. This is its own city with a very distinct identity and hopping from cafe to bar to one of the hundreds of chocolate shops will make you realise this rapidly.
The Belgian rail network is vast, cheap and frequent. With the right passes you will get a €1.40 return to Brussels or a €10 return to anywhere in the country from Louvain.
Although not a major city, Louvain-la-Neuve is a lot of fun, filled with great people, great parties and for me, great memories.

Karma, just around the croner from from DIT Aungier St. is revamped and student friendly. A new lunchtime menu is available with prices ranging from €3 to €6.95. From€3 chicken nugget and fries to a generous 4oz bacon cheeze burger with fries and side salad for €6.50 there is a decent selection of food. It’s good food with good portions in a comfortable, close by location.
Stephen StreetIf you are in the mood for a good ole chipper and you have a fiver spare in your pocket then this is the place for you. Across from Break for the Boarder, €5 will get you a ¼ pounder or a chicken burger or 4 grilled chicken wings with fries and a can of soft drink. You can also get curry with rice or naan and soft drink, a rice dish and can and a doner kebab and can. Not a bad chipper and it will definately fill the void.
Camden StreetThis place is the ultimate in bang for your buck. €4.99 for any roll,wrap or sandwich, any pack of Hunky Dory’s and 500ml volvic water or coke. It is exactly what is says on the tine. I am writing this while eating a hot chicken fillet and bacon with sun dried omatoes, red onion and swiss cheese. That’s a big roll. A recession buster!

Camden StreetAs the week winds down and you have done all your budgeting you’re likely to have a few euros to spare for the all you can eat Thursday and Friday 12 – 3pm for €9. If not, you can still pick up a very nice deal. For €6.50 you can get a two course meal at any time. The starter has either a soup, chicken wings or wanton and the mains range from sweet and sour pork to Thai green curry. Not a bad feed for the price.
City WideLong queues at peek time but great value at a extremely cheap price. €1.99 for a hot chicken fillet baguette with any two salads and any sauces. Or maybe you’re the breakfast roll type. Well 2 sausages, 1 rasher and 2 puddings with sauce for €1.99 is hard to beat. If you’re into you muffins and tea or coffee you will pay no more that €2.20. For the early birds if it is too early for a big roll between 7 – 11am €2.50 will get you a bacon or sausage sambo or a ham and cheese sambo with a tea or coffee. Champion!
Camden StreetIf you’re feeling devilish and want a pizza, look no further. They have a huge range of toppings for even the most diverse taste. Only students can pick up a 7.5 inch pizza and a drink for €6.50. If that is stretching your pockets but you still have a hankering for pizza, for €4.50 you can get a snack size pizza with one topping - perfect for the girls. They also cater for our special gluten free friends for an added €1.50 for the base.

George’s Street & Ormond QuayYamamori is seriously tasty. It comes at the special of €9.95 for the lunch bento box. This is a great box of different treats each one just as tasty as the last and will leave not over full but with that content feeling of a good lunch. Definitely worth checking out if you have a few sheckles to spare.
Temple BarFor €9.80 you go out and pick your self up a nice two course meal with tea or coffee afterwards. You have a choce between four starters, followed by either pizza or pasta. For the romantics out there you can get away with a very cheap lunch date here or maybe just a nice meal together.
King StreetThis is for the students with bigger pockets but my God is it good. You get what you pay for €9.95 will get you any main course and a complimentary drink ( Tiger beer, fruit juice, peach ice tea, wine). Anybody who has gone will know the ramen portions are huge and the food is delicious. Those who go there for the first time will be back. Home to a few of the Leinster rugby team so you never know who you might see.

Temple BarIf you ever wanted a cold brewsky with your lunch, La Med serve up a nice little lunch menu with pizza and beer or a fish and chips with beer for €10. A great option for a sneaky midday tipple.
George’s StreetThis place is for the vegans and vegetarians of our college and is the only vegan and vegetarian sit down resturant in Dublin. The menu is extremely inexpensive for our herbivore friends. The menu ranges from €3.95 for one meal upto costing €9.95. There is also a great menu for people allergic to nuts. This place has everything for our food concious friends.
O’Connell StreetIf you want to go old school and have a nice hearty soup and sambo Madigans will sort you out for €5. The only thing is, this is a take away menu only so once you get your food you gotta get your ass outta there. They also have a scone and tea/coffe for 3€ which is cheaper than the Spar down the road if you want to pinch pennies.

Capel StreetIf you are into your buffets and great value you have hit the jackpot here. With over 25 dishes to choose from, including sushi, you can’t go wrong. You are going to get a good buffet meal with huge portions for prices between €7.90 and €8.90. So splash out a bit after all that saving and get your fill in this recession busting restaurant
Capel StreetThis may another Italian offering a two course meal with tea or coffee afterwards but this place has personality with a nice meal. The owner, if you have the chance to meet him, is extremely friendly. They have soup, garlic bread and mozzerella cheese, bruschetta and tuna or a salad for a starter and then a good selection of pizza and pasta with nice portions. Defo worth a look if you haven’t tried it yet.
Bolton StreetA grand chipper with a whopper selection of deals. To start, we have a €2.99 chicken tikka cheese/ chicken fillet and two salads plus a drink. The drinks on offer include Coke, Sprite, Fanta, water, milk or tea/coffee. Other delights include a breakfast roll with two sausages, rashers and puddings with sauce and drink, a chicken tortilla and drink, or a nine inch pizza for €5. And if you are just looking for a light snack, a muffin and tea/coffee for €1.50. This can’t be beaten.

City WideAnother good deal from our mates under the tree. A cent less than four euro will get you a chicken fillet roll with two salads and a bottle of water or a can of coke. This isn’t the cheapest roll deal but it is a lot closer for the northside colleges than Temple Bar. So it’s still not a bad deal.
Parnell StreetIf you found good authentic chinese food in large portions for cheap prices then you have found Lee Charming. They have a lunch menu with two courses for €7.99 and if you are desperate for a soft drink to wash all that down you can add one for €1. Charming resturant with charming noodles.

Londis have really stepped up in what I call the “Sandwich Wars” in Dublin. Now they are offering a cold chicken roll with two salads, can of Coke or bottle of water and Tayto or fruit for €4. This is a very competative deals especially giving the customer the healthier option of the fruit is an especially nice touch. Also they offer half a rool with one meat and two salads with Tayto and Capri Sun for €2.50. These are the cheapest complete meal offers you can find in Dublin. Well done Londis.

Join a society today!

SVP Soc is the official Saint Vincent de Paul society in DIT and are part of the overall charity. Having reformed this year, they are planning to recruit as many volunteers as possible.
“We’re aiming to recruit 30 consistent and maybe one or two hundred inconsistent volunteers who come in whenever they are free. There is no obligation to volunteer, its great fun and you meet a lot of different people” said Ross O’Neill, Vice President of
Communications and Services for SVP.Plans for this year include doing soup
runs for the homeless on a weekly basis, doing an afterschool club for disadvantaged kids, organising the annual Christmas appeal, working with other SVP conferences and much more.
Another great thing about SVP soc is it is 100% FREE to sign up.
You can find them on facebook, under SVPSoc DIT and their own official website coming soon.
DITESN Soc is replacing what was previously known as Intercambio Soc. This society brings Erasmus and Irish students together to meet and practice languages. “Anyone can join up. It would be useful for Irish students looking to improve their language skills. It’s also a lot of fun, Erasmus students are
basically here for a year of fun so they’re good to hang out with” society member Rory Dinnegan explains.
Kyle Cahill who was also a member last year is planning some great events for the year ahead. “This year we’re going to have the same trips but add in some more too. We’re hoping to organise a trip to Bundoran and maybe an overseas trip. We want to aim to have more parties rather than just meetings so hopefully there’ll be a lot more mix between the Irish and Erasmus students”.
Email them at [email protected] or look out for the facebook page.

Labour Youth are an active political society in DIT who, among other things, ensure that DITSU are always kept on their toes. Last year the society had three members on governing council, making sure that the needs of students are met.
Last year’s co-chairperson Glenn Fitzpatrick explains anyone can, and should join. “We’re all socialists at heart. That doesn’t mean we’re all looney communists however. We just believe that there’s a fairer way of doing things, that wealth should be distributed a little more fairly and that the sick, the needy and the poor should be taken care of first.”
The society organises talks with politicians, focusing on issues that affect students like the banning of headshops and cutbacks in education. Some of last year members can be seen in the photo opposite with Eamon Gilmore TD.
If you want to join you can email [email protected]. Look out for them on Clubs and Socs sign up day too!
BAM is one of DIT’s biggest societies and is all about business and market-ing. The society was set up to encourage integration between all students studying Business and Marketing. But with over 1,600 friends on facebook it’s clear that everyone loves it.
Last year’s chairperson, Craig Reynolds says that they are planning big things for the year ahead, “we hope to get a lot organised for the year with a focus on getting freshers involved in the society and DIT life. Keep your eyes open, there should be a lot of events being advertised over the next while and there is also a trip in the works”.
Check out the society on facebook page at www.facebook.com/bam.soc or email [email protected]

Break Dance society has received a great deal of attention both in and outside of DIT over the last number of years including several appearances on the front page of the Irish Times! This year Chairperson Lukasz Luniewsky says the society aim to further increase society membership. Workshops will take place in Rathmines, Kevin Street and in Bolton Street from Monday-Wednesday to open the society up to anyone who wants to take part. In December the society hopes to run a trip to Poland to the Euro Battle Polish Qualifiers.
The Skills Masters is one of the
highlights of the societys calendar and will be held in the new community centre in Rathmines and the ever successful marriage between Fashion Soc and Breakdance looks set to continue with the society making their much anticipated performance at the DIT Fashion Show. So whether you already have the moves or just want to give it a try there is a place for members at all levels in the Break Dance society.
If you want more info email [email protected]
Sign Soc was set up in 2007 by a group of students in Mountjoy square. Going from strength to strength they won ‘Best Mountjoy Square Society’ this year. The society was formed out of an interest to learn sign language with the aim to work with the deaf community. They currently run weekly sign language courses, at beginner and intermediate level, raise awareness and set up volunteer with agencies working with the deaf community. The society plans to keep up the hard work and organise even more events in the coming year.
Chairperson Thomas Geoghan says that he best thing about their society is that it gives people a chance to learn sign language in a fun and relaxed environment. Like a lot of societies, it is only €2 to join, a bargain! You can contact Thomas directly on the email [email protected]

DJ Soc was founded in 2001 by Will Kinsella and has grown to be one of DIT’s biggest societies. Interested in DJing but never got the chance to try? Have some of the basics but never had the expensive equipment to practice with? They have all the best equipment to practice with and will provide you with all the guidance you need. If you’re an experienced DJ, the society gives you chance to join a strong, helpful community and gain a public platform to showcase your talent.
All members will be given a chance to
advance their skills on the decks.Lessons will provide teaching, guidance and practice. They also plan to provide guest lecturers and tutorials on many aspects of DJing, from equipment to production.
The society has a big year planned. They will have student nights, pub nights, involvement with Dublin’s best electronic club nights, guest Djs, the annual Spinoff DJ competition and a European trip. Guys and girls, make sure to sign up during societies week. Keep an eye out for event and club night posters with our logo and and GET INVOLVED!
They will provide weekly lessons in Auinger St in the Black Box theatre, on a Monday at 5pm, along with additional lessons for more advanced members on a Tuesday at 5pm in the sports Hall opposite Bolton Street.

Comedy Soc will once again bring laughter and joy to the students of DIT. Once one of the most popular societies in DIT the society was noticeably absent last year. But now with the help of aspiring stand-up comedian and DIT student Ryan Mc Geough the society has risen from the ashes once again. With names like Neil Delamare and PJ Gallagher among those who have headline at the comedy socs gigs the society has big shoes to fill but are off to a positive start having negotiated a 2 for 1 offer which is exclusive to DIT Students. Every member who signs up will receive a free barrel of laughs for their troubles.Email [email protected] for details
35
Drama Soc will be back with vengeance this year and looking to recruit a vast amount of talented new members to restore the society to its former glory. Amongst their plans will be the now annual trip to Connemara which includes a weekend of amateur dramatics of the best kind. Semester 1 is action packed with theatre trips, workshops and the one act festival and full length productions to keep the members and the committee busy.
Semester 2 is when the competition really gets going with each group rehearsing for DIT Annual Drama Festival
to see who will represent DIT at ISDA (Irish Student Drama Awards). The competition doesn’t stop these as the Drama Society are sure to have their eye on the prize at the DIT Society Awards for the Best Overall Society! Only time will tell if they will achieve this goal.
Current President Ian Fox says “the best thing about drama soc is the feeling of pride and achievement you get from being part of a production and making so many friends along the way.”
If you think you have what it takes email [email protected].
Film Soc was set up last year for all the film lovers in DIT. In their first year they produced three short films spanning the genres, from their short sci-fi movie ‘Appleganger’, to the surreal comedy ‘A Light Called Larry’ and the gritty drama ‘Return to Sender’. They also held regular film screenings and hosted a wrap party in Féile. This year will be much the same, so if you’re interested in film production or if you just like watching movies, get involved!

Check out Fab from Grassroots Uganda. This hand-crafted jewellery comes all the way
from Uganda in Eastern Africa. Fab has that colourful craze that will match every outfit in your wardrobe. From earth seeds to magazine papers, these talented Ugandan women know how to use their resources.
Who? This jewellery is made by women’s groups in Uganda. Some of these women are HIV+ and others come from the War Torn Northern Region of Uganda.
What? Bracelets, Necklaces, and Earrings.
How? The majority of the beads found on Fab jewellery are made from paper. The paper which is cut up from old magazines and newspapers is soaked, pressed and twisted to make individual creations for each and every item of jewellery. Other beads
and stone are sourced in Kenya or found in the earth.
Why? Nakateete Village has been suffering terribly from drought for 4 months each year. This drought means that children must walk for two hours daily to fetch muddy water from a spring. 100 per cent of the proceeds raised from the sale of this jewellery will contribute to a water project in this village. Water is life, and these people know this too well.
When & Where? Find us at the fashion soc stall during sign up week.
The ultimate question is, are you brave enough to wear it?

Boxing is an ideal sport for building fitness and stamina catering for ALL abilities beginners right through to ex-perienced. The Classes include warm up, focused skill sessions and condi-tioning sessions. For those who wish to eventually progress to competing we offer sparring and Intervarsity competition.
DIT MC provides the opportuni-ties and resources for any student to try out climbing and mountain-eering at the lowest possible cost.We meet every Monday and Tues-day night at the Climbing Wall in Larkin College Sports Centre off Cathal Brugha St and climb from 7pm till 9pm. In the first week in October we’ll meet anyone who wants to attend our Climbing Taster Sessions for the DIT Activity Challenge at the Wall and show you the ropes. October Bank Holiday we have an outdoor Freshers’ trip where you can try out climbing on real rock in our safe hands.
44
Badminton is a fast fun and exciting sport. Our club is definitely a club you will want to join. We play socially and competitively once a week in Larkin College Sports hall from 6pm – 9pm. If you are a beginner, we will provide you with a racket and shuttles and there will always be our qualified coach Jackie Killoch to explain the rules of the game. If you are an expe-rienced player, you will find players of a similar standard. Team competitions take place throughout the college year but members are more than welcome to play socially too.
With over 500 members last year there is regular internal domestic races in Pudding Hill, Kart City and many other tracks at reduced and subsidized rates. While even sorting out your transport to and from the track venue! We are a very social club which pushes for members to meet others from across the various sites within DIT and learn about karting in Ireland. We compete in the CUSAI Intervarsity League and had no fewer than 3 teams in every round. We were the overall Club of the Year in the DIT Sports Awards last April and two of our members were awarded Scholar of the Year and an All Star Award to recognize their contribution to their sport and our Karting Club.
The Canoe Club trains in Kevin St Swimming Pool on Monday from 6pm – 7.30 and again on Wednes-days from 5.30pm – 7pm under a fully qualified instructor. This club boasts a fantastic social side with fun river trips and weekends away. There are many disciplines under kayaking – freestyle, whitewater, racing to name but a few, something for everyone. So come on we need you to help us get Club of the Year!
45
Caving is a fun and social sport for all those who like to explore underground, regular weekend trips are organized to check out the various caverns, pas-sageways and potholes around Ireland. All trips are led by fully qualified leaders who are trained first aiders.
DIT Hockey Club caters for all standards from absolute beginners to top class hockey players. We compete in ICHA (Mixed league and cup), CUSAI (league) and hopefully one day in the Intervarsities! We are running a ladies social recreation league in Rathmines in November – check our website for dates and times of com-petition, also for details of training sessions for both beginners and for experienced – we guarantee when you get involved with us there will be no looking back.
The DIT Pool and Snooker Club meet every Tuesday in DIT Aungier St and in various venues around Dublin. The club allows students to play snooker and pool competitively in CUSAI league as well as at inter-university competitions. At a more amateur level students are free to enjoy the social atmosphere of the club and improve their cue skills through the coaching which we provide.Finally, DIT Pool and Snooker Club is a fun-loving club, with a fantastic balance between playing cue sports competitively and socialising with other students.

The DIT Camogie team made history by winning the Purcell Cup last March in Cork.
The team is made up of girls from all the main DIT
Campuses, Bolton St, Aungier St, Kevin St, Cathal Brugha and Mountjoy Square. First year Leisure
Management student Sarah Walsh said “Coming
up to DIT for the first time not knowing many people as a fresher can be daunting, but by the second training session I had made a load of new friends and the social side of the team was great”.
The team was captained by Dublin’s Joeleene Hoary last year while Meath’s Jane Dolan from Blackhall Gaels won a Purcell All-Star for her performance in the final. The Camogie club are looking for new recruits at all levels for this year. So if you’re interested - give it a go.

The DIT Gaelic Football Club field three Fresher
teams in the third level leagues. The Club cater
for those who just want to play some recreational
football to those who are looking at breaking onto
their U21 intercounty side. In order to be eligible
to play fresher for DIT, you must be U21 before 1
September 2010 and not have played or been a
fresher at another college before this.
The Fresher teams train on Monday nights and
play their matches during the week. To kick off the
year everyone was invited to play in a DIT Fresher
7’s tournament on Wednesday, 22 September at
the college grounds in Grangegorman. But don’t
worry if you didn’t make it - just contact Darragh
for info on joining the Fresher A, B or C team on
087-2245508
FRESHER A, B or C - Take Your Pick!
DIT Fresher A Footballers lifted the All-Ireland last April after they defeated a strong Cork IT side in Templemore in Tipperary.

Up and Coming Club Social Events
From the DIT dog night to the GAA Ball, to the County Colours Night, there is no better nights out in college.
On Thursday, 30 September (two days after the Fresher Ball) Coppers will host night the DIT County Colours night - so wear your county jersey with pride!
On Tuesday, 9 November the DIT dog night will be held, probably the best value and craic for the entire year.
For €10 you get your ticket into Harold’s Cross Greyhound Stadium, a race programme, sausage and chips, a coach transfer from the track to Coppers, and admission into the night club - you can’t say fairer than that.
DIT had unprecedented representation in this years Leinster U21 Hurling final between Dublin and Wexford. A total of six Dublin players and four Wexford players all go to DIT. In the end of a closely fought contest, Dublin emerged victorious, but went down to a solid Galway outfit in the Semi Final.
The DIT Hurling Club are looking at fielding two Fresher Hurling teams this season. We are looking for all levels of players. If you are interested text your name and club to Darragh on 087-2245508. Anyone interested should also come along to the club’s first session on Thursday 23 September at 4pm on Grangegorman.
Ten DIT Hurlers Play in the Leinster U21 Final
