THEN AND NOW
On Dit
The student voice lives on
strong and proud through
Australia’s third oldest
student publication On Dit.
STORY BY
IMOGEN HINDSON,
NONEE WALSH AND
MICHAELA MCGRATH
P
ronounced on-dee, On Dit
roughly translates to ‘they say.'
Since replacing its precursor,
the Varsity Ragge, as a two-page
broadsheet in 1932, On Dit has expanded
to become the primary vehicle for the
University of Adelaide’s student voice.
As the third-oldest student publication
in Australia, the magazine boasts an
impressive calibre of past editors and
contributors, including Clementine Ford,
Annabel Crabb and Julia Gillard.
Other alumni to etch their name in On
Dit history are Nonee Walsh and Imogen
Hindson. The former, a Bachelor of Arts
alumna, and the latter, a passionate media
and law student. We take a look at their
time editing On Dit.
