For the second time in three years, the role of editorship of USyd’s weekly newspaper Honi Soit has gone uncontested. The new team of editors, SHAKE for Honi, promise a bold new vision for the paper, harkening back to tickets of old, while also hinting at the new radical directions they will be taking.
SHAKE for Honi members include: Misbah Ansari, Katarina Butler, Luke Cass, Bipasha Chakraborty, Ethan Floyd, Christine Lai, Veronica Lenard, Luke Mesterovic, Eamonn Murphy, and Andy Park.
The team, represented by Luke Mesterovic and Katarina Butler, were kind enough to sit down with us and take our inaugural PULP Quiz.
SHAKE scored an impressive 1000%, answering correctly such questions as “Do you like me?” and “What is your favourite thing about me?”. Unfortunately, the duo fumbled when they struggled to remember what their favourite article of mine was. It’s okay, guys, it’s understandable. There’s just too many good ones to pick from!
During our chat, when asked about specific sections of the paper, they were quick to emphasise their continuation of important sections of the paper. There’s news and investigations, of course. Analysis — can’t forget that! The science section will remain strong, while maintaining a heavy flow of culture (making sure not to step on PULP’s wiggling toes, that is).
SHAKE promises a bold new section for the paper, however, titled “Honi Soitier”. Here, SHAKE promises to document the life and times of USU Board Director Alex Poirier: from juicy Alex gossip, to his favourite meals, and regular quizzes or ‘puzzliers’. With Veronica Lenard fixing up the website, as well, SHAKE promises a live Alex tracker for eager beavers to have his whereabouts at all times of the day.
SHAKE also proposed controversial new measures in order to sustain quality control, such as an age cap on who can write and a weekly guillotining of the worst pitchers. “We can’t just let anyone write, we’re gonna need to start chopping heads — LITERALLY!” Shouted Luke, struggling to maintain his composure as he spilt his hot chocolate over the PULP couch.
Overall, SHAKE’s vision, albeit unconventional, is certainly a new and welcome heel turn for the paper.

Trains, of course.
Three. [Correct at the time of testing. However this answer is subject to change depending on the circumstances. When playing along at home, it is best to figure out the number of fingers prior to testing oneself. For optimal testing results, perhaps a friend may be needed to provide the fingers, lest you’re planning to cheat on the sacred PULP Quiz.]
