Speech to new students
    Well, I’m very glad to welcome you all to the practical model of our design course at the beginning of the new year. As you’ve no doubt realized, we have people here from years one to three, and we find that as most of the work is in small groups or individually based. This works out pretty well, even though we are a bit short of space.
    Now I’m going to go through some administrative staff and then we’ll get on to project planning. So first of all, we are in the studio here every afternoon except one. So we do have a sort of base which is quite nice, but once a week we have to move out.
    That’s into room 51 which is on Thursdays. It’s a bit of a nuisance because it’s not as big as in here. But we’ll manage somehow, and on Fridays you can use the big space over the back of the hall, which is called the gallery for private study if you want to spread out a bit. That’s only on Fridays, though, I’m afraid.
    Now, as far as extra courses go, you should have already selected these and the days for them are as follows. Monday is the only day when the dock room is free, so that’s photography. Tuesday’s John Howard comes in here to take sessions on print technology. And Wednesdays, I’m here for model making.
    Now, if you haven’t selected your options for this term, you need to get a move on when we finish now I’ll be showing you around the rest of the department. And you can get a form from the academic secretary on the way. Oh, you also need to get one if you want to do the full day course, which is on Saturday’s on computer aided design. But that only applies to your third year students, of course. And do you know where the office is now? That’s nearly all except a reminder to you all that we provide all the equipment you need for practical work, including card and photographic papers. But you must bring your own stationery.
    You should have proper notebooks and we don’t expect to have to find bits of paper for you to make notes on when you forget them, and lastly, about absence. If you’re not, well, if it’s just a couple of days, you can phone the administration assistant and ask him to pass the message on to this department. If it’s more than a couple of days, you must send a written explanation to the department head. Otherwise, you could be penalized in your course grade for absence without permission.
    Okay, well you’ve been warned. Now for you new guys. Let’s go and look around the rest of the place. The rest of you no doubt have things to be getting on with.
