It was about midnight on a warm summer night and I was sitting at the Elephant and Castle Pub with the newly elected Students’ Union President Barb Wright. Joining us were Gauntlet photographer Cory Bass and Toby White–Barb’s predecessor atop the throne of campus politics. We were talking about Dinos basketball star Leighann Doan, who… Continue reading History Supplement Introduction

By Ryan Laverty
The Jack will be abuzz with activity this weekend as the University of Calgary hosts the 11th Annual Husky Dino Cup Volleyball Tournament. Always a showcase of unreal talent and competitiveness, this year’s edition may be one of the hottest fields in the tourney’s history. Here is a quick rundown of each team, and what… Continue reading Dinos set to defend their Cup
Men’s and Women’s V-ball
Men’s V-ball – Randy Lewis Talent: A With Bill Byma and Denis Zhukov, the Dinos possessed one of the deadliest one-two punches in the country. Surrounding the all-stars was a supporting cast that had no detectable flaws. In each of the individual statistical categories for the Canada West conference, the Dinos had at least one, if… Continue reading Men’s and Women’s V-ball
Hoop dreams, injuries
Men’s Hoops – Lawrence Bailey Talent: B+ A recruiting coup brought highly-touted Whit Hornsberger to join prolific scorer John Riad in the Dinos backcourt this season. With a solid cast of returning players the stage was set for a breakthrough. While this didn’t happen, the talent cannot be blamed. Solid all-around seasons were turned in… Continue reading Hoop dreams, injuries
Readers defend and define Christianity
By Cory Gross
Editors, the Gauntlet, Re: "Homophobic dogma enraptures Christians," Feb. 8, 2001 Brad Cooke’s article suggested that religion should have no place in decisions regarding civil liberty. However, without religion what is the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour? Anthropologists say that morals are relative to each society–essentially, there is no right and wrong. So the… Continue reading Readers defend and define Christianity
Dinos poop all over T-Birds
By Randy Lewis
If the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds thought they could waltz into the Jack and intimidate the Dinos with their bright-yellow banana-like warmup outfits and their retro ’80s short shorts, they were sorely mistaken. The Dinos picked them apart, peeled them and devoured them, sweeping last weekend’s two-match series. They improved their regular season record… Continue reading Dinos poop all over T-Birds
Sure thing doesn’t come through
The Dinos went into the weekend looking to guarantee a playoff spot by sweeping Trinity Western University, but ended up with a split and an insecure future. Calgary won 76-56 on Friday, but lost the next game 68-64 leaving a window for the Spartans to steal the final playoff spot next weekend. Both games were… Continue reading Sure thing doesn’t come through
Paean to Richard Bohne
I can remember seeing Richard Bohne play. More than seeing him play, though, I remember how he filled the Jack Simpson Gymnasium with screaming fans. The only Dinos events to come close since, have been various volleyball Dino Cups, but the excitement generated by Bohne hasn’t been duplicated. Richard Bohne’s jersey–number 11–will be retired at… Continue reading Paean to Richard Bohne
Try it again, Sam
Blending rock, rap, ska, funk, punk and pop, DDT’s latest offering, Urban Observer, deserves respect for its diversity. This quality is DDT’s greatest strength. Unfortunately, Urban Observer invites too many comparisons with artists more melodically savvy than DDT. At their worst, on songs such as "Pistol Whip" and "I Can’t Take My Eyes off You,"… Continue reading Try it again, Sam

Another winless weekend for the University of Calgary men’s basketball team. Yikes! The Dinos dropped two games while visiting the University of British Columbia last weekend, losing the first 71-52 and the second 64-61."We played well Saturday. We did not play well Friday," said Head Coach Cory Russell in response to his team’s losses over… Continue reading Deeper and deeper:
