AYY’S ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. The Housing Regulations have been updated
The Representative Council decided on changes to the Housing Regulations at its meeting on Thursday, the 22nd of February 2018.
The changes relate particularly to the conditions about the period of validity of the housing applications, reacting to housing offers, and the secondary leasing of apartments.
The new Housing Regulations entered into force on the 1st of March 2018, so now is a good time check how the changes may affect your housing situation: /en/blog/2018/02/26/new-housing-regulations-enter-into-force-on-the-1st-of-march-2018/
2. University strike on the 7th of March
A strike notice has been given regarding the Aalto University on Wednesday, the 7th of March.
The strike will be held unless the Association of Finnish Independent Education Employers (AFIEE), which acts as the representative for universities as employers, can reach an agreement on the university sector labor dispute with the representatives for university staff Juko, the Trade Union for the Public and Welfare Sectors JHL and the Federation of Salaried Employees Pardia.
If the strike is held, it will affect teaching, student services and student administration, among other things. It may also affect the library’s opening hours and study facilities.
Please check the channels of each party in question on how the strike will affect their operations. Also check with the parties on how to act if you have agreed about a meeting with a member of the University staff on Wednesday.
The strike does not apply to student restaurants or UniSport, but exceptional opening hours are still possible.

CULTURE
18. Teekkarispeksi 2018: Hurma
It is summer 1914 at the Belfort Lyceum in France. Anna is preparing for the end-of-year ball with her classmates. Balls are always an important event, but now the Lyceum must also convince an inspector sent by the state, who is looking for even the slightest excuse to close down the school that is deemed as old-fashioned.
Anna, too, must do her part to make the evening perfect. Her thoughts are far off, however, as she receives a surprising letter from a secret admirer. Soon Anna makes a crucial mistake, one thing leads to another, and the result is truly not what anyone expected.
Speksi is a full-blooded, all-night musical, where actors, dancers, the orchestra and the diverse off-stage team create an entertaining, sincere and technically high-quality performance on the stage.
The thing that sets a speksi apart from normal plays and musicals is the audience and their participation. When a member of the audience yells “omstart”, the actor must improvise the scene again, tell a joke related to the situation or even start singing out of the blue, and then go back to the plot and the script. The orchestra, dancers and technology also participate in the improvisation. Omstarts are not practiced – they are created in the moment. Each show is different.
If you don’t believe it, come and see and try it yourself!
More information about the spring speksi can be found here: http://teekkarispeksi.fi/

20. Outo kantele record release concert on the 23rd of March
Outo kantele, the ninth record by KYN, conducted by Kaija Viitasalo, is an homage to the music of Jukka Linkola. The record comprises of two suites composed for KYN by Linkola: Loitsut (Incantations) and Outo kantele.
The music in Loitsut is full of joy, playful expression resembling the life itself, as well as simple beauty. Loitsut is a celebration of people and the nature, everyday wonders, happenings, work and of course love. The suite is colored with a vibraphone played by Panu Savolainen.
Outo kantele has fascinated audiences from France to Taiwan and charmed even a competition jury. In Outo kantele, Linkola has fused the world of folk poetry with a dose of bold cabaret spirit, a vibrant, even a bit theatrical expression, and a pinch of jazzy groove. The suite is starred by accordionist Johanna Juhola and pianist Kirmo Lintinen.
Warmly welcome!
Record release concert on Friday, the 23rd of March 2018 at 19:00 (doors at 18:30), at the Music Hall of the Helsinki Conservatory of Music (Ruoholahdentori 6, 00180 Helsinki).

The release date of the new Into has been postponed to Monday, 12 March.
Into (into.aalto.fi), the Aalto official student portal, has been undergoing a redesign process since last autumn based on student feedback and the results of the student service design project.
The biggest changes compared to the old version:
– Into’s visual appearance will all change
– information is organised by programme, not school
– the content has been pared down and clarified
– a mobile version of Into is being released
The expansion of content will continue during the spring. We will collect feedback from students to improve Into further.
The old Into contents will continue to be available alongside the new Into until the end of the spring term.
