ELIZABETH: OK,well,good morning everybody! My name's Elizabeth Reed and I'm your Assistant Welfare Officer.What I'd like to do now is tell you a little more about some of the er ...the social facilities available on the campus,and also to tell you something about what the town has to offer.

As you probably know already,the Student Union Building is the main centre of social life here,as indeed it is in most British Universities.The Union runs a weekly programme of events for all tastes ...oh everything from discos to talks by guest speakers.Many of these events are fund raising activities for charities,which the Union takes very seriously.They manage the Students' Union paper-shop,selling magazines and newspapers,as well as stationery,sweets and so on.
