by varsity's security guards. Those found living illegally in hostels would be
handed over to police and the administration would take disciplinary action
against those who provided cover to such elements.
The PU administration
had stumbled upon ammunition from varsity grounds near Hostel No 1 at New
Campus. PU officials suspect that some expelled and rusticated students
belonging to student organisations had dumped the ammunition.
A senior
PU official requesting anonymity said it had been decided in principle to carry
out a search operation to purge hostels of unwanted elements. He said the
administration had been receiving reports that a number of expelled and
rusticated students, belonging to student organisations, had been living in
hostels. The official said the administration would carry out operation any time
and special teams had been formed, he added. He said use of police force would
be the last option adding the varsity administration was in touch with police
high ups. He said university administration had vowed to clean up hostels at any

Imamia Students Organisation (ISO), University Students Federation (USF) and
Insaf Students Federation (ISF) are active in the university. All these student
groups have condemned discovery of weapons and demanded the university
administration investigate the matter thoroughly and punish those responsible.

(today) because of Eid and to avoid any unpleasant situation. The Punjab
University administration earlier announced the university would remain closed

PU Graphic Design students display theses
Lahore: Punjab University Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) Graphic Design students displayed
their work at the University College of Art and Design on Monday.
Around
50 students were provided with the names of three different companies and asked
to design an advertising campaign for any one of them. The campaigns included: a
campaign by Milkpak to promote home delivery, a repositioning campaign for
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and a campaign for Haier's washing
machine.
The students had to use a billboard, a poster, a magazine ad, a
calendar comprising of four pages, a display item and a brochure. They used
various innovative ideas to make their campaigns more powerful and alluring.
Noorie Zaman Khan came up with a creative idea to launch a campaign to
promote home deliveries for milkpak. She used graphic techniques to make her
campaign effective. Noorie said that she had gone
through rigorous work and practice before bringing her campaign to its final
shape. She said that it was good that students have displayed their thesis work
following practical practices that could help them in their professional career.
Ayesha Arshad used truck art for her campaign. She said that she had
used it to highlight the fact that within the country, transportation was
carried out by trucks and within the city, transportation was carried out
through pickups and vans. She added that she had highlighted truck art, as it
was exclusively a Pakistani art.
Azeem Mumtaz launched his campaign on
Haier's washing machine. His campaign slogan was 'Making Clothes Alive and Our
Technology For Your Life Style.' His campaign revolved around various intriguing
ideas of washing and clothing.
Nadra Naeem from the Lahore College for
Women University (LCWU) and Hasan Zaki from the Punjab University were the
teachers marking the theses.
