Cabinet keeps silent
It’s been a busy week at 251 MacEwan Student Centre.

A regrettable destruction of reason
Resurrecting one of the most drastically under-thought undertakings of the last few academic years, Campus Pro-Life is bringing back the Genocide Awareness Project. The project, which, among other things, showcases gruesome images of the holocaust, the Rwandan genocide and the lynching of African-Americans, does a spectacular job of obscuring the actual issues of abortion. Though… Continue reading A regrettable destruction of reason

Letter: Already aware of genocide, thanks

Campus Pro-Life is a Students’ Union club but neither does it serve our community nor does it represent the views of students. Firstly, if your service to the community needs to be protected by double… Continue reading Letter: Already aware of genocide, thanks
So does science

Editor, the Gauntlet,Recently there has been a vast debate regarding pro-life and pro-choice around campus. To be opinionated in relation to a particular issue is human nature. But to have rational reasoning as per your argument is what separates intellectuals from the remainder of society.

Stand up
Editor, the Gauntlet, This is an exhausted subject, and I’ll be the first to admit it. For about a month now, the ongoing debate between pro-life and pro-choice students at the U of C has resulted in some serious verbal vomitage thrown from either side. However, as a fourth year nursing student, I’ve got one… Continue reading Stand up
