1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Now O Week is kicking off today, but this year

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: there is added concern given that two students have fallen

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: off roofs in Otaga or around Otaga University in just

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: the last five months. Daniel Lemi is the OUSA president

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: and with us Now, Hi Daniel, Hello, how's it going

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: very well? Thank you? So how's it looking as O Week?

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: As big as ever this year?

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: The weather is holding off, so it will be another

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 2: big year for O Week. Yeah, we just had a

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: whole lot of students, particularly our first year is coming

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: down settling in, so yeah, it should be a good

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: week ahead.

13
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Well look, it might just be that I'm a little

14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: bit out of the loop and got too old for

15
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: conversations like this. But what is this business with flow week?

16
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: How long has this been going on?

17
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: I believe it's a relatively new thing. So flow week

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: is short for our flatting O Week, so it's more

19
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: the second years and above, so I people have moved

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: out of colleges, which is the first year thing sort

21
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: of do that? What's the thing in Dunedin It's been

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: around a while now.

23
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Right, So it's two weeks with a party annount just

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: the one Daniel, what are you guys doing Given that

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: you have had a bit of a bad run with

26
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: people falling off ruf slately, what's the safety plan.

27
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously we're telling students to stay safe, look after

28
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: their friends. But I guess something that we always point

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: out is, you know, there's twenty thousand odd students down

30
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: here in Dneda now, and yeah, you definitely hear that

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: there's the odd story of people making bad decisions or

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: or whatever else happening. But for the vast majority, students

33
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: are well behaved students. Students are allowed to go and

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: enjoy themselves. They are in a new new place for

35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: the majority, and they are just going out there having

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: fun and in a safe way. But yeah, that is

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: something that we're always mindful of.

38
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,240
