Talk:Rag (student society)

"Said to be"

An issue of a Rag mag dating from 1923, called "Goblio", is said to be in the archives of the University of Southampton.

Said by whom? The university itself claims a copy from 1962 (MS 224/19) and from 1948-52 (MS 224/16) http://www.southampton.ac.uk/archives/cataloguedatabases/webguidemss224.page

They also have a copy from 1955 that is held by "Univ. College per LF 789.9" http://www.southampton.ac.uk/archives/exhibitions/online/arts-exhibition.page, slides. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.89.93.165 (talk) 08:45, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Good point. I've removed these weasel words and tagged all the claims for 'first rag mag' as needing cites. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 16:25, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Only passing through but I think there should be a mention of Rag Week in Ireland and all the controversy there is surrounding it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.34.210 (talk) 14:18, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Obnoxiousness
The article should really explain that most residents of student towns find rag weeks irritating and unwelcome. This has certainly been the case since the 70s, and the hostility may date back to long before then. It really just seems like an excuse for students to get drunk and draw attention to themselves, and while some money may be raised for charity, it isn't very much. --Ef80 (talk) 21:12, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
