Perhaps Jessica Biel is out of the question, but we would be happy to settle for Mila Kunis. What was proposed in the feasibility report was a foundation of a business. The great thing about a business solution to a problem is that it can change and adapt to a problem at a much faster pace

Well,Jessica,I have a few things to say to you.... First of all,not all disabililites are visible,you can't tell by looking at a person what their disability is. We are NOT hypocrtical!

Re: “Candidates have right to drink and be taken seriously” Feb. 2, 2010 To the editor: It is important for the sake of the university and the student body that the image of the USC president is not that of a drunken fool. The position of USC president is a very ... (more)
To the editor: This year, as in past years, University Students’ Council presidential candidates have presented platforms full of proposals and promises to make the USC more responsive to students, to guarantee the USC will hear student voices and react to our suggestions.

Re: “Goldfarb’s Platform is practical” Feb. 2, 2010 To the editor: I am seriously concerned about the state of the university education our students are receiving.

To the editor: It amazes me to see how University Students’ Council presidential candidate Marshall Goldfarb is constantly referred to as the “idealist” everyday candidate in the media. Has anyone been following the debates? He has a realistic platform that will leave an impact on our campus for years to come. For ... (more)
To the editor: I'm seriously disappointed with one of the University Students’ Council presidential candidates. Jeff Rutledge and his campaigners were beyond rude on Jan. 26 while they were campaigning in the University Community Centre atrium. As most people were well aware, the Have a Heart for Haiti campaign was also launched ... (more)
Re: “Joker a tool, voters should not be fooled” Jan 28, 2010 To the editor: I was shocked to see this letter printed in the Gazette. What appears to be a letter written by an "informed" voter is really just a writeoff of the candidates this voter doesn't like. Although letters are meant ... (more)
