The End is coming. Perhaps not on pale horses or brandishing flaming swords, but The End still broke into the hardcore scene in a big way with the release of their debut album Transfer Trachea Reverberations from Point: False Omniscient. Three years after, The End has survived the lost of a member, inked a deal… Continue reading Music Interview: The End of the Canadian’s metal scene
To me, running from a starting point through a set course and ending at the same location without being chased by rabid dogs or at least picking up some beer seems pointless. Nevertheless, some guys and gals at the University of Calgary do it, and do it well. Our very own Dinos cross-country team travelled… Continue reading Dino runners take first place at U of S meet

The men’s soccer game on Sat., Sept. 25 against the University of British Columbia T-Birds was “eerily similar” to previous games this season. The Dinos must like it from behind, because they spent most of the game catching up to the T-Birds. The first goal came from a blatantly offside Luke Sandilands of UBC. The… Continue reading Soccersaurs settle for a tie

The West Coast washout University of British Columbia Thunderbirds football team squared off against the Dinos Sat., Oct. 18 at McMahon Stadium. Both teams were going through a dismal stretch, with the Dinos losing three straight games prior to the match and UBC still without a win on the season. The Dinos showed a lot… Continue reading Dinos try to salvage a so-so season
On September 11, the Israeli cabinet threatened to “remove” Yasser Arafat, the President of the Palestinian Authority. Avi Dichyer, chief of Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security agency, advocates Arafat’s death rather than his exile. Ehud Olmert, Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister, conceded assassination was an option. This week, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon backed off under… Continue reading Arafat difficult to pin down
Entertainment, what is it? If I had to relate it to the Dinos, then it would have to be any event that was worth watching, for one reason or another. Whether it was seeing our Dinos completely humiliate their opponents, or the pure joy of being in the stands with a bunch of drunken, rowdy… Continue reading Who’s entertaining the Gauntlet Sports Editor?
No, the Canadian Army hasn’t been called in to quell rowdy tuition protests. It is Armed Forces Week at the U of C, and the Society for Strategic and Military Studies has sponsored several military displays and talks by distinguished academics from across North America. The free events ranged from talks by experts in the… Continue reading Armed Forces week
Leanne Pelosi took her last shots in a Dinos uniform this season and the fifth-year midfielder left an impressive mark with her teammates and friends. While everyone was quick to praise Pelosi’s on-field brilliance, her great marks in school and her infectiously positive personality, it was the other stories that truly get the essence of… Continue reading Soccersaur tells story walking
I wonder if the tortoise schooled the hare the second time they raced? Doubtful. You see, you only underestimate a foe once–humility is a lifelong lesson. After an outstanding four-game homestand two weekends ago that saw the men’s soccersaurs display an aggressive dominance not seen since Napoleon’s measured march across Europe, the Dinos swung by… Continue reading Getting by with help from friends
A plane crashed into a building, so what?Is it the word "building" that upsets you? Do the letters P-L-A-N-E make you violent? I didn’t think so. But ask if anyone would like to see footage of the tragic crash again and the response is an overwhelming no. The images are certainly powerful, and undoubtedly more… Continue reading Art is a weapon
