In an excellent article two weeks ago Rhia Perkins asked: are there funding disparities between the arts and humanities faculties and the others? She found that yes, fewer government and corporate dollars find their way to the faculties of Social Sciences, Humanities and Communication and Culture. Some hypotheses were offered about why this might be.

Editors, the Gauntlet,

Re: "The secret life of Nancy Betkowski," March 8, 2001

The Gauntlet tier one elections are over and none of you ungrateful students care. I mean... we thank you for your continued readership.

Once the thick clouds of black-tar heroin smoke cleared (in a bizarre take-off of the papacy selection) on March 14, Michael Leung was crowned victorious as Gauntlet Editor-in-Chief and Ruth Davenport was pronounced News Editor.

Rumours that Leung pursued EIC to avoid a backslide into a life of pharmacy-break-ins and car stereo theft could not be confirmed at press time.

The Dinos gave us a lot to write about this season. We get to pick athletes of the year too--just cause we feel like it. We deserve it. We've worked hard too.

What happened on the way to Sherbrooke? Was there something in the water or was it something they ate? Whatever it was, the Dinos track and field team that arrived at the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union Championships in Sherbrooke was not the same as the one in Winnipeg two weeks ago.
At the Canada West Conference Championships, the Dinos turned out some very solid performances, especially the women, and the team was positioned sixth in the national rankings going into the final meet of the season.

The third instalment in the Students' Union election forum series was underattended, harmonious and the best value for money of any forum all week.

SU Vice-president Events Alix d'Archangelo took the stage at Speaker's Corner to put two VP and three commissioner candidates through their paces. The questions addressed key issues and included an element of humour.

Operations and Finance Vice-presidential and Commission candidates pleaded their cases at the Op-Fi candidates' forum last week.

Vice-president hopefuls Jordan Bonner, Natasha Dhillon and Travis Fast and aspiring commissioners Les Champ, Mark Counsell, Jana Hanova, Matt Stambaugh and Robbie White were quizzed by outgoing VP Op-Fi Matt Lauzon, who asked the candidates how they plan to approach the tuition issue.

All candidates agreed tuition is too high, but they had different approaches to the problem.
