The Campus Food Bank recently recieved $600 worth of help from the Calgary Catholic Board of Education Support Staff Association and former provincial New Democrat Party candidate Susan Scott.

Ralph’s World: excellent?
In the March 12 provincial election, Albertans exercised their democratic right to demand change by demanding the status quo. Ralph Klein and the Progressive Conservatives stormed back into power, claiming 74 of a possible 83 seats. The Liberals saw their leader dethroned as eight pre-election seats went to the Conservatives. The New Democrats kept both… Continue reading Ralph’s World: excellent?
Read this shit
The Gauntlet tier one elections are over and none of you ungrateful students care. I mean… we thank you for your continued readership. Once the thick clouds of black-tar heroin smoke cleared (in a bizarre take-off of the papacy selection) on March 14, Michael Leung was crowned victorious as Gauntlet Editor-in-Chief and Ruth Davenport was… Continue reading Read this shit
CFS platforms too radical, says membership opponent
The University of Calgary Graduate Students’ Association debated membership in a "radical" organization, as grad students munched their lunches in the Graduate Lounge. In conjunction with normal GSA executive forums, Michael Conlon of the Canadian Federation of Students and U of C grad student Ray Novak went head to head on March 14 to debate… Continue reading CFS platforms too radical, says membership opponent
Student services told to move
By Вen Li
Some student services want a little more input before they’re told they have to move. The Disabled Students’ Centre and International Students Centre relocation is necessary since Campus Security is scheduled to move to the southwest corner of MacEwan Students Centre. The DRC will most likely end up in the area facing the Renert Centre.… Continue reading Student services told to move
Works For Me
Just as the snow thaws and patios become useable yet again, John Scofield gives the gift of perfect accompaniment for wining and dining dinner guests. As the evening progresses to drinks at dusk, Works for Me accompanies the transition perfectly. His intellectual hip style is on display yet again–this time in a much more laid-back,… Continue reading Works For Me
The Delicious Wolves
By David Kenney
Hawksley Workman is in love with absurdity. (last night we were) The Delicious Wolves is an ode to his favourite subject, intertwined with love and flirted with repeatedly. The piano plunking singer/songwriter coos and bounces into panic attacks disguised as songs only to retreat back inside. "Jealous of your Cigarette," "Little Tragedies" and "You Me… Continue reading The Delicious Wolves
Covered With Ants
By Nicole Kobie
Just as talking dirty can be fun, so can punk band Guttermouth. Covered with Ants is all hyperactive, damn-the-man anthems. The typical punk tracks vary from head-bopping to head-banging intensity, never losing their bouncy energy. Don’t expect mind-blowing lyrics, or mind-numbing music either. Guttermouth aren’t stuck in the guitar-bass-drum rut of many similar groups; they… Continue reading Covered With Ants
Heavy ConstruKction

The first two discs contain innovative live versions of various Crimson compositions as well as a unique cover of "Heroes" (Robert Fripp was the guitarist on David Bowie’s original). Disc… Continue reading Heavy ConstruKction
Technology powers out
By James Keller
From the seats of the Reeve theatre, Jessie Johnson and D.J. Kelly look at the result of nearly a year of work. A rooftop in the far corner, an elevator shaft across from that, an alley in the back, an apartment slightly off centre and a laundry room downstage all come together in various shades… Continue reading Technology powers out
