O'Week
The AUU coordinates part of the Adelaide University O'Week. O'Week runs from Monday to Wednesday in the week before lectures begin. This is reduced from previous years in which O-week would run from Monday to Thursday. Funding reasons were cited for the cutbacks, despite impending introduction of the new Student Services Fee. During O'Week the Sports Association and Clubs Association organise their own tented areas where clubs and societies display their activities. The AUU coordinates a variety of events centring around beer, bands and barbecues on the lawns near the Union complex. A major event for the week is the O'Live (formerly O-Ball, featuring live entertainment and licensed areas) which takes place in the Cloisters (Union House). O-Live attracts a large crowd of revellers, not all of whom are Adelaide University students, though the event has faced financial issues in recent years.
