According to SU president Raphael Jacob and vice-president operations and finance Eric Termuende, the SU does not expect to sign a new lease agreement for MacHall before the current executives leave office in April.

The University of Calgary Dinos and University of Manitoba Bisons men’s hockey teams battled it out beyond regulation time in game two of the Canada West semifinals, with the Bisons ultimately forcing a deciding game three in a 3–2 victory.

If you’ve spent any time on Facebook recently, you’ve probably seen at least a few examples of the website’s latest craze: neknominations.

This surface, known as a boss, was one of the only parts of the dinosaur that was exposed when the skull was found.
