This is Article 2 in our special series on the RoyalWedding of the Prince Alexander and MaximaThe countdown has begun. No World Cup participation, but fortunately a big Orange party after all.
Are the student associations organising anything at all?
Giel van Wijk, vice-president of Civitas Studiosorum Reformatorum (CSR):
”No nothing at all, really. Whether we%re royalist? Yes, we have an official royal portrait in the administration office. And the queen does always make it into the yearbook, but that’s about it.”
Rutger de Graaff, president of the Delftse Studenten Bond:
”Certainly! There’s definitely plenty of royalist sentiment at the DSB. Every year on the Queen’s birthday we hand out oranjebitter in front of the building. February 2, thirty or so of us are going to Amsterdam, in our tails, to dish out oranjebitter along the carriage’s route.”
Robin Eekhout, secretary of Aegee:
”We have no plans, of yet. Of course, foreign exchange students who are here now, can identify little with the Orange sentiment. Come to think of it, it might be a great idea to go to Amsterdam for that very reason! I’ll discuss it with the committee of Foreign Affairs.”
Kai Vonk, treasurer for Sint Jansbrug:
”Wait, let me just ask my colleagues on the executive committee. No, I’m afraid the ‘who cares sentiment’ tends to dominate. What do we think of the wedding? Let me confer for a moment, excuse me. We think it’s a load of rubbish, it costs far too much money, but we wish the bride and groom lots of fun.”
