Concert Review: We all must love Tegan and Sara…
“Sorry, you’re not on the guest list,” mumbles the tall dark figure while shuffling through papers. “I’m with The Gauntlet,” I plead, “I interviewed Lindy, tonight’s opener.” “Nope, not on the list.” He cautiously peers at me with suspicion.

Movie Review: Don’t listen to The Chorus of hype
In the past few years, the North American market has worked up quite the appetite for foreign language films. Many of these, with their critical and commercial success, received prestigious film awards. Roberto Benigni’s Life Is Beautiful won the Oscar for Best Actor, a first ever for a non-English speaking role.

President: Gilbert Bong
A concise understanding of the post secondary funding issues plaguing Alberta and a knowledge of the best solutions to those problems cannot be replaced by good intentions alone. Enter Gilbert Bong, an undoubtedly friendly and sincere candidate who unfortunately doesn’t seem to grasp the role of an effective SU President. Campaigning on a platform of… Continue reading President: Gilbert Bong
President: Christopher Blatch
Chris Blatch is an idealistic candidate. With campaign pledges to fight for GST-free textbooks, more affordable student housing and reduced prices in SU-run businesses, while simultaneously launching new and improved media campaigns against the provincial government, Blatch shows a determination to improve student life. Unfortunately, the devil may be in the details. Although each of… Continue reading President: Christopher Blatch
