Student charity event to seize collection (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ragbag

'collection' is the definition.
(ragbag is a kind of collection)

'student charity event to seize' is the wordplay.
'student charity event' becomes 'rag' (as in rag week at university).
'to seize' becomes 'bag'.
'rag'+'bag'='RAGBAG'

(Other definitions for ragbag that I've seen before include "Random collection" , "Hodge-podge" , "Odds and ends" , "Motley assortment of things" , "Miscellany" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
