News in brief

Get out graduatesStudents who have graduated must move out of their student apartments when they have finished their studies, says Minister Kamp, of the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment.

DUWO, the company that provides short-stay student housing for TU Delft, supports the plan. “Accommodation for students is needed in a short period of time,” says Jan Benschop, DUWO’s director. “If students have to wait two years, they have almost graduated.” Student housing on the Balthasar van der Polweg and Westplantsoen already have arrangements in place that require students to move out within six months of graduating.

Censorship in Holland

In the political turmoil of the last few months, everybody in the

Netherlands seems to be constantly speaking their mind, often without much thought. A journalist from a vocational institute in the eastern Dutch city of Zwolle attempted to join this chorus of free speakers. For the institute’s bi-weekly newspaper he wrote a column under the provoking headline, ‘Godverdomme’, which Page Four readers will surely know means ‘Goddamnit’ in Dutch. The institute’s executive board, whose members are primarily Christians, was far from amused. This week the execute board ordered every single copy of the issue destroyed, and the columnist was fired immediately.

Amateurs

Many Delft people play music, dance, or act for fun. But just like pop superstars, they want and need to have an audience. On Sunday, December 1, thirty Delft amateur groups will be performing their hearts out at the ‘Expect the Amateur’ show in Theater De Veste. In addition to performances, there will be information and the possibility to apply for an ‘open podium’.

Show time is from 2-6 p.m. Program information: www.verwachtdeamateur.nl . .
