Listen to 1208 and you’ll feel the punk flowing through your veins. To be honest, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard a new melodic hardcore band that’s remained so true to the pure teenage angst that is the father of one of punk-rock’s greatest sub genres. Coming from a region of punk with… Continue reading 1208

Throw away the key
By James Keller
It’s being dubbed the next South Park, but it’s not as funny–it’s not even as offensive. It’s being compared to the Muppets, but the characters aren’t as colourful or interesting. It’s even being likened to the Bert is Evil website that raised a stir in recent years, but isn’t as clever or original. Puppets Who… Continue reading Throw away the key
Everyone needs their idols…
By Kyle Young
To be perfectly honest, I’ve always had a soft spot for the character of Hannibal Lecter. The guy is polite, educated and courteous, yet constantly surrounded by rude and ignorant people. And when he finally decides to do something about it, they call him crazy and lock him up.[Ed Note: Because he ate people.]Seriously, Lecter… Continue reading Everyone needs their idols…
Dinos win, lose, get angry, joke around
When there’s something wrong in your neighbourhood don’t call the Dinos women’s soccer team. Sometimes they’re bloody effective, but sometimes, they beat on their foes for 90 minutes and still manage to lose. Such was the case when the Dinos took on the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Alberta on Thu., Oct. 3… Continue reading Dinos win, lose, get angry, joke around

Uncertain future…
If Superman were a Dino then the West Coast would be kryptonite. Any superhero needs an arch nemesis; someone cunning and evil with some sort of super power. Unfortunately for Calgary, their nemesis is the West Coast which has neither of these qualities, just some unknown power that weakens our Dinos like kryptonite on Superman.… Continue reading Uncertain future…
U of C president sorely disappoints
By Nicole Kobie
At the revelation that the University of Calgary’s last president, Dr. Terry White, was leaving, there was a collective sigh of relief and sensation of anticipation across campus. No more would we be subjected to White’s uh-uh-ums or his student-unfriendly policies. It was time for a change. With high expectations, we welcomed our current president,… Continue reading U of C president sorely disappoints
Debating the Monarchy
Finally, a Liberal politician has said something progressive. Deputy Prime Minister John Manley’s suggestion last week that Canada move to sever its ties to the British monarchy is about the most inspiring thing that a member of Chretien’s cabinet has done since the Liberal regime came into power. Manley has taken a lot of heat… Continue reading Debating the Monarchy
YM further expands the teen market
As far as capitalism is concerned, all is fair in the name of the almighty dollar. This becomes abundantly clear when I scan magazine covers on the shelves at a local convenience store, and then watch a teenage girl purchase two copies of the same magazine.YM’s November edition is the collector’s issue. Readers can pay… Continue reading YM further expands the teen market
Rethinking the Kyoto Accord
By Murray Birt
>”We’re Albertans… of course we care about the environment.” Or so goes Alberta’s Kyoto advertising campaign. So what is it all about? Are economics and ecology forever doomed to be at loggerheads? This PIRG column aims to “percolate” ideas about social justice and the environment into the campus community. While some might think that makes… Continue reading Rethinking the Kyoto Accord
