As another semester winds down, I know what you need. You need to relax. What better way to relax this Dec. 7 than in a styling pair of snow pants surrounded by friends and getting goofed? That’s right people. The second annual Snow Pants Day is upon us. Time for one last kick before you… Continue reading BSD, make way for SPD
Campus on a late Friday afternoon bears more resemblance to a ghost town than a leading research university. It’s embarrassing how quickly students flee once class is out. A "commuter campus" is one common explanation. Student apathy is another term bandied about. But what is at the root of the problem? Do University of Calgary… Continue reading The tired, unwashed masses: Students aren’t apathetic, just tired and overworked

We’re lucky, you and I, to live where we can step outside and enjoy the great outdoors at will. Well, at least we’re lucky to have a great outdoors to enjoy, in a world so riddled with violence, war and turmoil. Looking out the classroom window, it might be difficult to believe that the largest,… Continue reading A time to pause and appreciate: Often overlooked, the beauty of nature is awe-inspiring
Dear Students’ Legislative Council:I’ve been sitting in that gallery watching you do your thing on Tuesday nights for almost a year now.

Now, I’m taking advantage of the only outlet I have to impart some suggestions and observations… Continue reading Holiday wishes from the gallery

Whenever this happens, I’m always caught between my own thoughts on the hypocrisies and shallowness of the West, and my ideas on the misconstrued perception of Africa.Now I… Continue reading Expanding your mind
Editor, the Gauntlet, I would like to express several concerns regarding comments Joanna Farley made throughout her article. Farley believes the entire legislation should have a sunset clause, a thought shared by many. Although a sunset clause would be effective to repeal the legislation, Parliament could do it at any time without a sunset clause.… Continue reading Re: " Legislating the death of freedom ," Nov. 29, 2001,
Editor, the Gauntlet, I’d like to say a few things in response to the feature written by Ruth Davenport. As a Christian, I was more than baffled to read what Klaus Ohlhoff and Tim Nethercott, chaplains at the University of Calgary, had to say on the subject of homosexuality. The two chaplains pointed out that… Continue reading Re: " Homosexuality: Fighting and Outdated Stigma, " Nov. 29, 2001,
Editor, the Gauntlet, I was intrigued by Raquel Mann’s article. While there was nothing particularly groundbreaking about a peaceful anti-war protest, the photograph touched my sensibilities in a manner I can hardly describe. The sign held up by protesters (or non-protesters since they were peaceful) read "Honk for Peace." Nothing seemed wrong with that at… Continue reading Re: " There was peace in the streets ," Nov.22, 2001,
Editor, the Gauntlet, Myke Atkinson’s article points out an important thing to remember if you want to get signed to a record contract: A band is like a business. Myke goes on to tell you to sign a prenuptial agreement with your bandmates, to avoid trouble when your band breaks up in two years. His… Continue reading Re: " Why your band isn’t signed ," Nov. 22, 2001,
