LSSU art festival
Poornima Wijemanna
"Arundathi 2010", the annual arts festival of the Law College will be
held at the Elphinstone theatre on August 4 at 2pm.
Organized by the Law Students' Sinhala Union (LSSU), the "Arundathi"
will be graced by Athauda Senevirathne as the Chief Guest.
Among the many cultural and musical items the Arundathi will feature
the winning entry of the drama competition and the final round of the
Vihangasara singing competition as its staple attractions.
"The Arundathi will see the conclusion of the series of various
competitions the LSSU organized throughout the year," said LSSU
President Suren Perera, speaking to Daily News.
"Among these competitions were the debating competition, the speech
competition, the painting competition, the G. L. M de Silva Memorial
Address to the Jury Sinhala medium competition and the Ananda Grero
Sinhala Medium Moot Competition, which make up a significant part of the
social life in Law College," he added.
The announcing of results of these competitions and the ceremonial
prize giving for winners is an eagerly anticipated tradition of the Law
College. This year's Gold medal for the Address to Jury Sinhala Medium
competition has been won by Gauri Kanchana Pieris, the Silver by Apsara
Botheuju and the Bronze by K.A.D Fernando. The "Moot Shield" of the
Sinhala medium mooting competition had been won by the intermediate year
team comprising of Anushka Rajapaksha, Amila Indika and Tharindu
Rajakaruna while Anushka Rajapaksha, C. D. Premarathna and Tharindu
Rajakaruna had won respectively the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for
Best Individual Performance.
"It must be specially noted that the Ananda Grero moot competition
which was initiated this year introduced mooting in Sinhala medium for
the first time in the Law College history and the experience of mooting
is now open for a greater number of students than who generally
participate in the English medium competition. And as the successful
practice of the legal profession demands a competent command of both
Sinhala and English languages, we believe that this new addition to
College life offers a good opportunity for students to familiarize
themselves with cases and improve their essential professional skills,"
said Perera. |
