Yet hundreds of the usually coveted entry lottery tickets for the party this Saturday reportedly went unclaimed. OUSA president Michaela Waite-Harvey said the flats subject to the complaints had been contacted and they had made the decision to change themes.

Flat themes were ultimately the decision of each flat and in past years flats had effectively communicated the themes without OUSA promotion, she said. Students flatting in the street said yesterday the lead-up to the party had been confusing, but they were looking forward to it. While there had been six instances of flats with themes that referred to "hoes", it was the use of the term "gypsies" as a costume theme that was most offensive.

Her flat had also included a theme of "Fightnight", which was likely to prompt some party-goers to dress up as boxers or ninjas, she said. His flat was promoting a jailhouse theme, under the name Cop Gals and Prisoner Pals and he planned to wear an orange jumpsuit. Consciousness raising, thanks to Michaela.

Residents of Hyde St and adjoining streets had tickets allocated and did not have to go into the lottery. The party created an enormous amount of costs and resourcing for OUSA, including employing staff to work at the party and contracting suppliers.
