Okay as much as I am not going to vote for this candidate, I actually think printing tickets for Mustang athletic games and distributing them would encourage students to GO to the games that are already free. And this coming from a person who has only been to football games during O-week as a frosh

Well Jon, as impressed as I am that you feel I could safely aim for Mila Kunis, I'm still afraid I have to disagree with you. Yes, you do have the option of using the coffee bar as a location to make sandwiches. Yes, there is the option of adapting your operation to fit the criteria

This is definitely something that the city of London needs considering how large the student population is. A policy like this really should have come into effect a long time ago. So many students come in and out of London each year, and we all need a good, safe and healthy place to live. Information

Crystal, I'd like to address what you said. First of all, you are comparing Jen to yourself, someone who is legally deaf and blind. We both know that Jen does not have those symptoms. I have read her article in the Free Press and so I have a general idea of what she's

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! We have dog guides for a reason! Our safety(being mine and the dog's) are paramount to those who aren't disabled. We are to automatically be given

It’s easy to tell it’s University Students’ Council election time even if you have no interest in student politics — the signs crop up on University College Hill, you are likely bombarded with Facebook group invites and it suddenly seems everyone has a colourful tag attached to their knapsack. Third-year kinesiology ... (more)
University Students’ Council presidential candidates can spend months prepping and reviewing their platforms, but ultimately, image is everything. “Everything from ethnicity, gender, the industry you work in, your family voting history — it’s had an impact on the image you create going into the campaign period,” says Laura Stephenson, a Western ...

Western students are being put to referendum once again. A referendum will be held today and tomorrow, asking undergraduate students to implement a $25 additional fee for renovations in the University Community Centre. The Referendum “Last year, with a fairly large project, upwards of $30 million over a 20-year fee of ... (more)
Hyland’s platform is a smorgasbord of tidbits thrown together in an attempt to speak to as many different student issues as possible. Nothing revolutionary in other words. Many of Hyland’s platform points bear a remarkable resemblance to other platforms in the past. If you’re going to copy other people’s suggestions, it’s ... (more)
As far as platforms go, it doesn’t get any more risky or sweeping than Matthijs van Gaalen’s, which addresses big picture ideas — not T-shirts or toilet paper. While the chances of his lobbying being successful are slim, van Gaalen’s academic advocacy is a fresh and innovative idea that separates him ... (more)
Mike Tithecott impressed us with his honesty. Saying he isn’t prepared for this job and admitting much of his platform is borrowed from previous candidates is commendable. Not presenting solutions to the USC’s biggest issues is not. Proposing a review committee to investigate USC retail operations is a roundabout way of ... (more)
Rutledge is the only candidate to adequately address the club system, providing well-researched improvements like stronger financial training, which goes far beyond the vague generalities of his opponents. Since the USC has struggled to correct club finances for a few years now, he should be careful to make this a ... (more)
Like a hamster, Ray Park’s platform is small, fuzzy, and mostly harmless. Coming in as the shortest of this year’s batch of candidates, Park’s vague and insubstantial platform tops out the buzzword count before even getting past the title. “Bringing Western Together & Embracing Diversity Closing the Gap: USC and Students ...

Marshall Goldfarb’s platform boils down to a wish list of populist ideas designed to win votes. We’re hoping most voters will see past the glossy coat of populism to the giant piles of garbage that lie beneath. The $3 meal is an incredibly inane idea. According to the numbers in a ... (more)
