He poured the coffee
Into the cup
He poured the milk
Into the cup of coffee
He added the sugar
To the coffee and milk
He stirred it
With a teaspoon
He drank the coffee
And put back the cup
Without speaking to me
As autumn blows into cambridge, come sink into an armchair and help us to welcome in our very own monthly Poetry Cafe.
Now as you shelter from the rain, cradling your cup of hot chocolate you can meet local poets, share your work, discuss your ideas, or just sit back and listen.
Welfare Wednesdays @ the Cafe Project
This year, CUSU Welfare wants to start tackling some of the taboo subjects that Welfare Campaigns deal with: ‘Why are we living through a sexual health epidemic in this country?’, ‘How can we promote positive body image and tackle eating disorders?’, ‘How does student depression affect studies?’. To truly tackle these issues we need to start understanding them from the grass roots. Every week, CUSU Welfare will be posing controversial questions to do with a range of issues and invite you to come and discuss them with us. The cafe project is hosting it: helping us bring together students and the local community and get to grips with welfare issues affecting our society today. For more information email welfare@cusu.cam.ac.uk or come along, Wednesdays from 5-6.30 during term time (15th October to 3rd December).
Join us for an evening of discussion, learning and meeting people run by the Cambridge Hub, a network of community, campaigning and charitable student organisations. Each Wednesday in termtime, a different member society will run a short timetabled event - a talk, a workshop, a film - from 8 to 9pm - followed by informal cafe sociableness until closing time. Come along to find out more about what Hub societies are doing in Cambridge, get to know people who are concerned about social justice and global issues, and make the links between societies which can be stronger by working together.
Come along to find out more about the cafe project and to get involved in the decision making process!
CUID open debates are informal discussion groups which meet every other Thursday at the Cafe Project on Jesus Lane to talk about development issues. They are quite small scale and participants are encouraged to share their views with the rest of the group. A small amount of prior knowledge is usually required, but this first session is an introduction.
In this first session our open debate leader, Joe Studwell, will talk about what he thinks are the most important contributing factors in developmental success and why his expertise in Asia has led him to this conclusion. This first discussion sets the scene for the series and invites those attending to challenge Joe's 'big picture', suggest alternatives and pose questions to be addressed during the series.

FOUND magazine is a American-based collection of FOUND items that have been sent
in by readers around the world; love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone else's life. Anything goes...
After 7 years of sharing magical finds in hundreds of North American cities,
FOUND Magazine's Davy and Peter Rothbart take their rowdy, exhilarating
reading-and-music extravaganza across Europe for the first time ever!! Davy
delivers hilarious and heartbreaking FOUND notes and letters; Peter performs
dazzling songs based on finds sent in by readers. The L.A. Times calls Davy and
Peter Rothbart "utterly engaging performers," and the Boston Globe calls the
show "a powerful fix for thinking voyeurs."
Calling all nations with Davy and Peter: the death-defying 19-year-old
sword-swallowing prodigy Brett Loudermilk, and legendary Los Angeles
underground D.J. Andrew Cohn. Bring your friends and your own favorite finds to
share!
The Cafe will be open from 7.30 but the show will start at 8, and we might be open afterwards as well depending on when it finishes....

In this session Joe will talk somewhat generally about 'initial conditions' in a society, but mainly will stick to two topics - land reform and sociological legacies. Land reform is very relevant due to the critical role it played in Asian success stories. Joe will also touch upon land reform in Latin America and Africa. Sociological legacies will include colonialism, communism and historical cultural factors. Joe will mention why he thinks that 'dependencies' are real but can be overcome.
