Cultural
The Hall produces a quarterly newsletter for residents known as the Hall Herald which covers Hall events, Flinders University events, advertisements and miscellaneous information. The annual Theatre Restaurant dinner provides opportunity for residents to demonstrate talents in dance, music, comedy, spoken word and plays. In addition, the students write, choreograph and perform an annual musical.
Other major events include Orientation week (O'Week), SAAUCC events (such as Boat races, Battle of the Bands and Pub Night), four themed Formal Dinners per year, a Pub Crawl each semester, and an annual Hall Ball.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“Barbarisation may be defined as a cultural process whereby an attained condition of high value is gradually overrun and superseded by elements of lower quality.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“Hard times accounted in large part for the fact that the exposition was a financial disappointment in its first year, but Sally Rand and her fan dancers accomplished what applied science had failed to do, and the exposition closed in 1934 with a net profit, which was donated to participating cultural institutions, excluding Sally Rand.”
—For the State of Illinois, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
