With almost 40 per cent of the votes, Barb Wright beat seven candidates to become Students' Union President.

"I'm relieved. Surprised. Relieved," said Wright after the election results were posted last Friday. Wright expressed relief over both the end of the election and the winners of the Vice-presidential races.

A year ago, students voted to expand health and dental coverage. A year later, the Students' Union has done nothing.

"It's pretty clear to me that people don't want [the changes] right now because of increased cost," said SU Vice-president Operations and Finance Matt Lauzon. "The increase in cost would be substantial, so that's not going to happen right away."

For many musicians, playing in their parent's garage and singing into an old tape recorder are as close as they'll come to stardom. However, the Students' Union--or more specifically, Vice-president Elect Events Chris Kerr--would like you to believe this does not have to be for campus talent.

The article written by Ruth Davenport was disappointingly inaccurate.

The fees for the Canadian Federation of Students are $3.41/per student/ per semester or $6.82/per student/per semester. The voting period for the referendum is not March 12-19, but March 19-30.

Who would have ever thought such a wide variety of punk genres could come together so well at the same show? Sno Jam 7 had something for everyone, and whether it was ska, pop-punk, or hardcore, the music was awesome throughout Monday's sold-out show.

Japan's Nicotine started things off quickly with their speedy pop-punk. Incredibly fun to watch, their between-song banter was hilarious. Anyone who came late really missed out.

 Back with Bizzaro Sports again. As usual, this is all made-up. The people in this story are real, but their actions and words are not. And thank god for that.

Megan Kinsella can at last dry her tears. The beleaguered Dinos swimmer, whose team came in second at Guelph last month, has renewed hopes for next year's Nationals. The source of this optimism: none other than renowned international music star Yanni.

University of Calgary intramural sports are truly a wondrous spectacle.

Existing within the Faculty of Kinesiology and in the shadows of varsity athletics, intramurals allow the thrifty and time-conscious student to compete at little cost against others in the sport they love.
