Oxford vs. Cambridge boat raceThe ultimate dream for every Dutch rower is the once-in-a-lifetime chance to take part in the historic boat race between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

Last week this dream came true for former-TU student Gerritjan ‘Big G’ Eggenkamp, who rowed for Oxford this year. Proteus-Eretes, Eggenkamp’s Delft rowing club, went to England to watch the race, dressed in orange and carrying a banner saying, ‘PE loves Oxford and Big G’. Three-hundred thousand spectators lined the banks of the Thames river to watch Oxford shake off Cambridge in the last bend near Barnes Bridge and win the race.

Kissing game

In May, the student organisation AEGEE will celebrate their 15th anniversary with a conference called the ‘Bicycle Experience’, while at the same time organising a kissing game. The rules of the kissing game are: an ordinary kiss will be awarded one point, a kiss on the lips two, a French kiss earns you four points, and the absolute winner is a hickey, worth six points. Participants are not allowed to use physical or mental pressure to acquire their kisses. And while members of the AEGEE committee are excluded from active participation, a kiss from a member will double a contestant’s points.

Aboriginal art

An exhibition of 19 dot-paintings and pictures by Aboriginal artists living in the Australian desert will be held at the TU’s Cultural Center this week. Dot-paintings made by TU Delft students will also be exhibited. The official opening of the exhibition is on Friday, 12 April at 18:00 in the Cultural Center, Mekelweg 10. The exhibition will run until 19 April 2002.

Admission is free.
