AYY has the logo, colours and the ribbon – but plenty is still missing! What does AYY’s badge look like? What is the cocard like in Aalto student’s cap? What will flutter in AYY’s flag? The insignia working group will organise a design contest open to everyone on the Student Union’s visual, text-free and, above all, timeless and long-lasting insignia. The contest period is 18 Apr–31 May 2011. The best proposal will be rewarded with 1000 euro. In addition, other proposals may be reclaimed for 300 euro per proposal. The objectives, instructions and the rules of the contest are available here. Participate and have influence.
3. Invent a smashing name for AYY’s channel!
We joyfully announce that we are looking for a new name for AYY’s channel (the successor of OUBS) and you can make a proposal! Is it Mary or Matthew or perhaps Aalto lady or the Box?
You can submit proposals electronically until 5 May or by showing up on Aalto May Day, 26 Apr, from 6pm onwards at Senaatintori Square. AYY’s Communications Group X will collect proposals there. You can recognise Group X by their bunny ears and each person who leaves a name proposal gets a sweet surprise

10. Protu arranges a world view camp for adults – join the camp!
Would you like to step outside of everyday life and see how your own world view has been constructed and to which direction it is heading to?
Prometheus Camp Association will organise a world view camp for adults for the first time in the summer of 2011. The purpose of the world view camp is to reflect piece by piece one’s own world view and share views and experiences with others. In addition, we ponder how our way of thinking has been constructed and what are the values on which we base our lives.
The world view camp for adults will be arranged from Wed, 3 August to Sunday, 7 Aug 2011 at Sierla camping centre in Nummi-Pusula. Everyone who is more than 20 years of age and has not previously participated in Prometheus camp can participate. The camp accommodates up to 16 people. The price of the camp is 150 euro and includes the programme, full board and lodging.
