America’s illogical education uproar
For anyone paying attention to the ongoing health reform debate in the United States, it is obvious that the political landscape in that country is deeply fractured. But health reform is neither the greatest nor the most insipid evidence currently on offer. This past week controversy arose over the speech President Barack Obama was to… Continue reading America’s illogical education uproar
Running down a dream
After some key departures from last year’s Canada West championship teams, both the men’s and women’s cross country squads have a lot to prove this season. Three out of seven members from last year’s Dinos women’s CIS team have graduated, as have four from the men’s.

Summer Shenanigans
It’s been a wet and cold summer and Campus Security knows it — in July they were called to deal with a garbage can fire at the university train station.

Spun: Green Day
When asked to, most people characterize Green Day as an emotional band. Their sound, loaded with anger, fear and confusion, came to a head in their last album, American Idiot. The political anxiety that facilitated Idiot is no more, as their latest LP, 21st Century Breakdown, focuses on larger social ills. Breakdown tells the tale… Continue reading Spun: Green Day
Spun: Flo Rida
The most surprising aspect of Flo Rida’s new album is also the greatest municipal accountant’s anthem ever penned. “Mind On My Money,” the eighth track on this 13-song sophomore disc, will inspire waves of euphoric Friday night sing-a-longs for the City’s financial department as they hack along with the chorus while prepping for the club:… Continue reading Spun: Flo Rida
The buzz on the fuzz
After a grad student responded to Campus Security inquiries with public urination and a driver, who nearly ran down a visually impaired man and his guide dog in a cross walk, gave a campus infrastructure staff member the finger and told them she was in a “fucking hurry,” security officers have reason to look forward… Continue reading The buzz on the fuzz
