Imagine rowing for 24 hours straight but not going anywhere.

Don't worry, it doesn't sound as disappointing when you're the University of Calgary Rowing Club and you've raised over $2,000 for new equipment.

Two Students' Union initiatives wrapped up on Fri., Sept. 28, though neither came to a final conclusion.

Shinerama, the fundraiser for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, ended for the time being on Friday after raising over $2,000.

I am a big baseball fan. If given the opportunity, I could talk your ear off about Cap Anson, Shoeless Joe, Ty Cobb, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Christy Mathewson, Babe Ruth, Henry Aaron, Sandy Koufax, or Ozzie Smith. My dad and I often get into discussions about who the greatest is. I generally side with Henry Aaron, although there are days I pick Babe Ruth. My dad wavers between Micky Mantle and Willie Mays. If we discuss pitchers, we both agree on the great Los Angeles Dodger lefty Sandy Koufax. Never any disagreement there.
