A constant crush of students packed the Union Building link at the University of Otago yesterday, as clubs from circus performing to tramping, ice hockey to sceptics, did their best to sign them up

bout 500 new international University of Otago students from about 80 countries came together yesterday at Forsyth Barr Stadium to discover what support services were available to them.

The annual toga party kicked off tonight, with hundreds of chanting toga-clad first-year university students pelted by eggs and water balloons.

The Otago Daily Times asked students celebrating Orientation Week yesterday why they chose to study at the University of Otago.

Thousands of first-year students will gather this evening at Forsyth Barr Stadium for the annual toga party, having done their best to clean out the toga material supplies of Dunedin.

Richie Benaud was the consummate broadcaster.

The Highlanders are as prepared as they could be as the first game of the season looms next Friday night.
