Tell us about your first days at Whitley…
My first room was on the second floor between the fire doors over the entrance and no tutors resided between the fire doors. The section had the name of “stereo lane” at that time since a number of students in this area had stereos and we had a few corridor parties with the fire doors closed to reduce the disturbance outside the party zone. Early in the term a second year student moved from this section to the first floor saying “I’m getting out of this ghetto”. For the rest of my time at Whitley this section was known as “The Ghetto”.
I was Sport Rep in 1980 when we won the Women’s Footy and Basketball as well as the Men’s Swimming. One of the freshers commented at the end of the first term they had not seen me without a smile
