Therefore it comes as no surprise that the Springboks have chosen the UFS’s sports facilities in preparation for their match against Australia this coming Saturday. They will tackle Australia at the Free State Vodacom Park at 17:00. Five former Kovsies are included in this team. They are Flip van der Merwe, Gurthro Steenkamp, Jannie du Plessis, C.J. van der Linde and Juan Smith. <br /> <a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?sid=1841&cid=2&year=2010">More information</a> <br /> <br /> </p> </td> <td valign="top" width="120"><img height="111" alt="" width="150" src="/faculties/images/10/483/voorblad/2010/springbokke.jpg" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><strong>UFS on the right track with transformation - Fulbright scholars<br /> </strong>“I think the university is not only on the right track but can really become a model for how to negotiate certain difficult processes, such as transformation, within a short period of time. I think it can become a model, not just for other universities, but also for the world.” <br /> <br /> This was said by Dr Rozetta Wilmore-Schaeffer, who together with Rev. Dr Frederick J. Streets, recently worked with the International Institute for Race, Reconciliation and Social Justice at the University of the Free State (UFS) as Fulbright specialists.<br /> <u><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?sid=1837&cid=1&year=2010">More information</a></u></td> <td valign="top"><img height="120" alt="" width="150" src="/faculties/images/10/483/voorblad/2010/46_voor.jpg" /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="268"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> </tr> </tbody> <tbody> <tr> </tr> </tbody> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="middle" bgcolor="#9a0000" height="27"><strong><font color="#ffffff">  News</font></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <h3>Campus News</h3> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?sid=1825&cid=1&year=2010">UFS takes 70 first-year students to the USA</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?sid=1843&cid=1&year=2010">SA cannot sustain momentum - Boesak</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?origin=%2Fnews%2Findex.php&sid=1842&cid=1&year=2010">Kovsies ready for national "sêr" competition</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?sid=1840&cid=1&year=2010">UFS hosts first International Congress on Calvin Research in Africa</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?sid=1811&cid=1&year=2010">UFS committed to a two-language model</a> - DF Malherbe Memorial Lecture </li> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?sid=1839&cid=1&year=2010">ANC is not a party of the people - Mbeki</a> </li> </ul> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <h3>Arts and Culture</h3> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/content.php?eventid=6006&adhocid=1145">Odeion Spring Festival 2010</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/content.php?eventid=5972&adhocid=1145">Odeion, Lunch Hour Concerts</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/content.php?origin=%2Fcontent.php&eventid=5973&adhocid=1145">Sundowner Concerts</a>  </li> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/content.php?eventid=6002&adhocid=1145">Rehearsal Room: Doortjie se stert</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/content.php?origin=%2Fcontent.php&eventid=6000&adhocid=1145">Scaena Theatre: Bobaas van die Boendoe</a> </li> </ul> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="20"> <h3>Sport</h3> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?sid=1800&cid=2&year=2010">Kovsies assured of position in Free State A Section of Interprovincial Hockey</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?origin=%2Fnews%2Findex.php&sid=1794&cid=2&year=2010">Six Kovsies played at CUCSA Games</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?sid=1787&cid=2&year=2010">Kovsie competes at international level</a> </li> </ul> </td> </tr> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table></tD> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>
