The precise moment Bermuda Shorts Day was conceived is obscured in the mists of suds, but on Apr. 15, the biggest party on campus happens. It’s likely the 45th annual BSD blowout, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong on the timing.

VP Events: crackers and spew
The Vice-President Events forum was by far the most “eventful” of the SU General Election debates so far.

SU Review: VP Events

Just as it has been done since 1997, U of C 101 kicked off September 1, and as usual, there were mixed opinions about the program. “More work can be done to make 101 more social, like the hypnotist on Thursday night,” said Students’ Union Vice-President Events Alex Vyskocil. “In the past, the university gave… Continue reading U of C 101

Free music shows are no more at That Empty Space. This past-December, the Students’ Union shut the doors to the concert series that began in 2004.
