Talk:Prosh (University of Western Australia)

I think it worth pointing out that other universities in Australia have a "Prosh". Whilest not necessarily quite the same concept as UWA - indeed a quick google suggests both Adelaide and Melbourne spend their "Prosh week" performing pranks for charity (no mention of a paper I could see) - I think this article needs to be expanded to explain Prosh-Australia-wide and list UWA, Adelaid, Melbourne and any others. To above: I didn't know of any other Prosh like activities, but if you could direct the students from those universities to write something about their Prosh day maybe we could further organise the article into what you suggested. As yet, no mention of them so I won't bother massacring the page :) - Serephine Somehow there is content that relates to Prosh at other unis at a user's sandbox - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yeti_Hunter/Sandbox  I have no idea how to amalgamate that info into this article: can someone more knowledgeable do what is necessary?

Prosh and the University of Adelaide - Origins
This article erroneously states that the origin of the word "PROSH" is derived from the University of Adelaide. There is a reference attached to that statement that does not prove the statement itself, yet Wikipedia will not allow me to alter or remove the offending sentence.

All actual evidence retrieved, such as from p.28 of "Student Days" (a history of the UWA Student Guild) indicates that the term is indigenous to UWA, contracted from "Procession" and has no apparent link to it's use in Adelaide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.95.100.32 (talk) 03:05, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
