[HDNG]INTRODUCTION:[EHDNG][PARA][BULL] The College is part of University of Oxford and students are [PARA]entitled to use its facilities.[EBOLD][PARA]St Hugh's red brick buildings are a mile from Carfax.[ITAL] [EITAL] It's known [PARA]for its garden parties, firework party and ball,[ITAL] its big booze ups at [PARA]the start of each term and its general penchant for riotous [PARA]revelry, larks and laughs[EITAL]. [ITAL] Among the cliques are the 'Footie [PARA]Lads', professional pint swillers, and the Beer and Wine Society [PARA]whose motto is 'Quantity not Quality'. In their defence, we should[PARA]mention that the tone is of subversive irony rather than drunken [PARA]stupidity. [EITAL]Hugh's students plague almost every activity at a [PARA]University level.[PARA][PARA]2 bars; Wordsworth Room (cap 50), Lee House (50) used for [PARA]student bands, as well as Mordan Hall theatre (300); bops 2-3 [PARA]times termly in JCR (250); free annual Dean's Xmas Party. [PARA]College news: 'Chunder'; 2 libraries (73,000 books); 14 computers.[PARA][ITAL]Lots of sportswomen and rowers[EITAL], despite being quite far from [PARA]the river; some sports facilities on site; joint college sports fields [PARA]with [ULNE]Wadham[EULNE] 1/2 mile off site. Most live in for all 3 years, many [PARA]in new Rachel Trickett Building; few eat at the buttery; formal [PARA]meal in dining hall weekly. Visiting doctor and nurse; [PARA]interdenominational chapel.[HDNG]FAMOUS ALUMNI:[EHDNG][PARA]Baroness Barbara Castle (ex-Labour MP; Ruth Lawrence (child [PARA]prodigy); Mary Renault (historical novelist); Aung San Suu Kyi [PARA](Burmese Nobel Prize winner); Joanna Trollope (Aga saga [PARA]writer). Dame Peggy Ashcroft (actress) was an Honorary [PARA]Fellow.
