    A love for a good, old-fashioned braai and the chance to laze in a chair and watch a film were certainly not underestimated as the Oppi braai and movie evenings were one of the highlights of the O-Week calendar.

    First year Oppidan students were lured onto the Rhodes Union fields on Tuesday evening for what was a
    night of laughter, good conversation, good food and ice cream.

    SRC members and members of The Grand residence were there to welcome the newcomers. “Everyone is just so friendly here,” says Odwa Jadezweni, a first year Bcomm student. “Coming to Rhodes was really scary at first, but I’m settling in now and am having so much fun.”

    The film evening hosted at Barrett Lecture Theatre on Wednesday evening proved just as sucessful. Here the worldwide box office success, District 9 and the satirical comedy Thank you for Smoking, based on the novel written by Christopher Buckley, were screened. “I’m pretty excited to watch District 9,” says a
    thrilled first year Bcom student Jason Smith, “It has won so many awards and makes me proud to be South African.”

    In the aim of inspiring students to view films critically and with academic intent,Richard Pithouse, a part time lecturer in the Department of Political and International Studies, spoke to the students for ten minutes before the screening of each film.

    “I think he’s right, maybe I should look deeper intomovies, and not just watchthem for the sake of watching
    them.” said Smith after Pithouse’s inspiring talk.
