Bazinga is DU Beat’s weekly dose of  almost-believable fake news!

DU on recommendation of a special committee, has declared a complete ban on any cultural events, college festivals, department fests, competitions, quizzes and panel discussions being conducted across the colleges of university w.e.f. February 1st. The decision has been taken in wake of college authorities splurging over the unnecessary extravaganza.

“The fests are against the culture of India, where study place is considered to be as auspicious as a temple, No dancing, singing or Red Bull intake is acceptable here.” said Mr. Pee. Kay. Tunn, a committee member. The University has asked all societies to do away with their preparations and end all dialogues with the logistic providers, caterers and expected guest of honours. Also, a standing referendum is expected to be passed from the next academic year, where in all societies shall stand dissolved and 85% attendance would be made compulsory for all students irrespective of backgrounds, gender or the ‘under the table setting’ with professors.

A special penalty is introduced on colleges holding MUNs which to our bad luck, happen in every college at an alarmingly high frequency. The funds that shall be saved by banning fests shall be utilized by the University for the much needed welfare of the FYUP batch kids and and hiking the salaries of honest and hardworking professors. As the winds of change sway, the decision is being protested against by DU students.  The colleges’ union members are in a state of shock, poor souls; college fests were the only things they ever did!

After having introduced non core courses such as General Science, Psychology, Philosophy and IMBH, the DU is all set to introduce a new subject called – ‘Soul & Spirituality’ for all students of the various FYUP courses. The step has been taken post numerous discussions among the VC, DU curriculum committee and numerous spiritual preachers of country. The subject will draw its basics from Vedas & Upanishads and shall be both theoretical and practical.

The students shall be tested on performance of Yoga aasans like Kapalbhati and AnulomVilom, recitation of shlokas, mantras and hymns. There would also be internal assessment projects where the students would be required to study religious literature and submit their interpretations. The decision has been taken to reportedly ‘channelize the energy of the growing atheist youth towards GOD and his supremacy’ said Baba Satyanash. The talks are on with numerous other members of ABOI, the Association of Babas of India, to take up jobs as Associate professors at the University and enlighten the students with pristine light of wisdom like other FYUP subjects have been doing.

While Baba Shri Bedagarg has agreed to share his knowledge with students of an esteemed DU college, the search for potential professors is still on in others. Unfortunately, the discipline shall be introduced from academic year 2014-15 and current first year FYUP students shall not get the opportunity to study this revolutionary subject. The students, as always have been, are perplexed and doubtful of their future and University’s further steps. The party karyakartas who’ve been silent for long, have got an issue to be vocal about. Seems like yet again the public buses, seemingly the real cause behind the controversy, and are going to ‘feel the heat.

Almost a month after the declaration of FYUP results, the University of Delhi has decided to revaluate the FC papers. This decision has come amidst numerous protests against the inflation of scores and the shocking disparity in marks from college to college.

Under the new system, a foundation course is for 75 marks, out of which 55 are marked through projects, presentations, class discussions etc and the remaining 20 are allocated to a centrally prepared exam. This test was also evaluated within each college, making the entire process of assessment of Foundation Courses an internal one. Some students have scored from mid 80s to 90s, a feat which seemed impossible for an average college student till just last year, making it clear that DU was now going the CBSE route and inflating scores. The University also cited the obvious inequality in the marks distribution in different colleges as one of the reasons behind this decision.

It’s not just the students who were appalled by the discrepancies, even teachers are empathizing with their students, “Since history is a theoretical paper, I gave my students a maximum of 45 in their projects and presentations and 15 out of 20 in their exam, I was shocked to see that other colleges had given their students as many as 53 in the internals and a full 20 in the exam!” said a teacher from CVS.

As per the notice issued in this regard, the FC answer sheets will now be rechecked like those of the Discipline Courses to ensure an impartial marking. The new results will be out by the end of the month. The University can be seen buckling under the pressure from DUTA, DUSU, and other organizations protesting against the FYUP and demanding a rollback.

With the Aam Aadmi Party coming into power, certain changes are set to rock Delhi University. After proposing reservations, AAP is all set to introduce winter uniforms in all colleges of Delhi University. Students will be required to wear mufflers around their heads just the way our beloved CM Arvind Kejriwal wears it. However the Gandhi topi will be optional so as to not force political affiliations.

The idea behind it is to get some uniformity in the students of Delhi University. The attire will be compulsory in and around campus. Anybody who is seen wearing the muffler will be recognized as a Delhi University student.

However, the party does not want to kill students’ freedom to dress as they want and thus, the colour choice is left open. Students can choose the colour of the muffler they wear and change it and when they desire to.

This rule will be enforced starting 1st February and students violating this rule will be subject to punishment. The teachers will be checking the uniform and ensuring that the rule is followed religiously. Those who don’t follow the dress code can be fined up to Rs 200 depending on the frequency at which the rule is flouted.

Sighting that all the news channels are more interested in broadcasting God man Asaram Bapu and his son’s “raasleela” rather than Congress’s “bharat nirman” jingles, Congress decided to consult Shah Rukh Khan (after the formidable success of Chennai Express) for their electoral campaign strategies. He advised them that these days “More people watch entertainment channels than news channels.” So it will be advantageous if someone goes to Comedy Nights with Kapil and does the party’s promotion. After much pondering and a heated discussion, the young blood and their star campaigner Rahul Gandhi was chosen who managed to fetch extra marks for his “escape velocity” speech and outscored Digvijay Singh in this campaign race.

Well the episode has been shot and will be aired next week. The details of the show have been kept secret to avoid any interference from opposition. But we have managed to know that hearing about Rahul’s arrival Navjot Singh Siddhu (member of BJP)  left the show and convinced Sunil Grover aka “Guthi” to walk out of the show. Shocked by this news, Congress turned to Digvijay Singh (their “dark knight”) who was happy to play the character of “Guthi” in the show.

We messaged Kapil to know his experience of shooting with the shooting stars of Congress but he refused to comment. So we have to wait and tune in to C.N.W.K. t watch out our (not so) favorite Pappu, performing for us!

We all know that people have their own ways of celebrating Navratri and Halloween. We stumbled upon a rather quirky, or innovative (depending on your taste) poster. The Delhi University Culture and Festivities Union (DUCFU) have planned a special event- a Navratri and Halloween mash up- A Halloween theme Dandiya Night.

The poster said that the event, which is open to all, shall be a night of Dandiya Ras, in very traditional, Halloween outfits. Oh there is more, the performing band is our very own, Evolution in Darkness and Pain, yes friends, yes, EdaP will be there too! And as a special request from the EDaP members the Dandiya sticks shall be replaced with daggers. Moreover, to complete the Halloween feel, the rangoli shall be made of fake blood or real blood, depending upon the DUCFU’s budget!

So it does not matter if you come dressed as a Zombie, as Frankenstein or Rakhi Sawant (a hot Halloween favourite) everybody is welcome to enjoy the Halloween Dandiya Night.

DUSU elections have a new game-changer. A real threat to the existing band of boys and girls chock-full of braggadocio who have dominated elections in the Varsity till date, Ranbir Kapoor, alias Janardhan riding on the tall crest of success following his musical accomplishments has filed his nominations for the post of President today. He has always shown his ambitious attitude since voicing his wish to replicate the success of his idol, Jim Morrison. The already established stalwarts of the DU elections scenario have each expressed their surprise and also a strange fear regarding this new behemoth of a contestant which has seemingly weakened their bladders. Popular among his wannabe-fans as Jordan, Janardhan has issued a statement saying that his decision to file his candidature came after his peers and seniors began to mock his whacked-out sense of dressing and consequently he would want to try and implement a uniform in the University that would be identical to his daily wear. However in a shockingly honest and true declaration he further stated that the final and strongest spurt of determination for him came when he realised that his acting career had nothing more to offer him and he is better off as a typeset DU student.

The students of a boarding school in North Delhi were in for a surprise this Monday when a group of monkeys decided to settle down on the third floor of the boys’ hostel. The students residing in the same building claim that the monkeys had driven out the earlier occupants living on that floor. Incidentally, the floor was occupied by a group of students who caused a lot of inconvenience to their neighbours by partying with loud music at ungodly hours in the night and driving around the campus at high speeds, despite strict rules against the possession of personal vehicles.

When the displaced students were asked to comment, the only response they had to offer was a furious scratching of their heads, while one of them went to the extent of stuffing 5 bananas into his mouth in one go. According to the one of resident teachers, who also happens to be a part-time veterinarian, the monkeys are descendants from a certain clan called ‘Magica Lemuria’ that belongs to the lost enchanted forests of Enid. He claimed that this could be predicted by the length of their fingernails, the peace sign tattooed on their thigh and the way they lick the fur on their head into a particular shape, consisting of a sideways parting. As for the rest of the student community, the relief in the air is palpable as they now enjoy an undisturbed sleep, occasionally broken by the sound of branches breaking and clothes falling from a height.
