Don’t you hate construction? These days, light campus naps are often interrupted by the grating sounds of heavy machinery. Similar rude awakenings will likely continue as the University of Calgary enters its formative teenage years. At 40-something years old, the U of C is not an old campus compared to the other, better institutions Canada… Continue reading No parking
Campus crawl
The signs of campus drinking used to be best observed on Thursday nights when the old Den was open. When it closed, drunks leaving campus (or rez students finding rooms, err, their rooms) were often followed by trails of destruction. Did you ever wonder why those posts with the red signs are so bloody high… Continue reading Campus crawl
Hanging around
So, mister, the summer started with excellent weather and you still haven’t been outside. No, the walk from the door to your sport utility vehicle doesn’t count. If you’re pondering a new sport to try, rock climbing is the way to go. Because of our proximity to the Rockies, climbing is one of the best… Continue reading Hanging around
Down and dirty in Mac Hall
Student representatives wallowed in MacEwan Student Centre’s food court garbage on Wednesday and Thursday in an attempt to convince students to reduce their daily waste. Seventy-five bags of paper-filled garbage bags and boxes helped onlookers visualize the university’s waste at the Students’ Union Info Blitz and Waste Management Project info days, March 21-22.

Bugged by cultural bias:
It was the last day of my trip–the chal-lenge I’d taken would soon be enforced. I was to eat a fried insect before I left Harbin, China. “Chinese people eat anything,” a friend told me as I started to lose my nerve. Before I knew it, I was standing at a street vendor’s table, looking… Continue reading Bugged by cultural bias:
The perfect match might not be you
In the endless search for the perfect partner, sometimes serendipity just trips you up.For the last year-and-whatever amount of time, I’ve mulled over what the ideal person is or would be. I wanted someone who was, oddly enough, just like me in terms of interests, long-term desires or ice-cream preference. A good friend was kind… Continue reading The perfect match might not be you
Rock climbing safe… if you want to be
We turned in the direction of the girl’s frantic scream, as her body pitched directly earthward. Five feet passed, then 10 and 15 and finally her body came to a sobering stop at the end of her rope. Propelled by the force of her fall, her upper body swung around leaving her hanging upside-down. She… Continue reading Rock climbing safe… if you want to be
The meaning of dirty
The Chinese idea of sanitation is absolutely disgusting.About two months ago, I realized this as I sat in a "restaurant" on a side street in the Chinese city of Harbin. Surrounding my "patio" table were three other outdoor tables, each with its own assortment of semi-eaten items scattered underneath. Based on this assortment, one could… Continue reading The meaning of dirty
