The good, the bad and the ugly of 2010 Olympic media coverage
Out of the lab and into the House
Pets require real commitment
Chileans forgotten amidst Haitian aid, Olympic craze
USC trying to shake things up
Leprechauns and lucky charms
Paralympic games deserve attention

Also, minimum wage will be >$10/hour soon, so if you're still making only $6.25/hour at your job like you claim you should perhaps talk to your employer.

Yeahhhh... no you can't opt out. The majority of students wanted this space and thus the referendum was passed. And 4 hours of work over 4 years isn't that much if you rationally think about it. $25 a year? Just save a toonie every month and you're set. Just refrain from buying ONE coffee or

This is ridiculous. I will never use this space and do not want to spend $25 or 4 hours of hard work at my job to fund this. I hope there is an opt out on our tuition. I strongly oppose this!!!

Really? On the front page? "Students with disabilities SEAKING (?!) academic ACCOMODATION (?!) facing hurdles." It's bad enough that writer, Cheryl Stone, and Gazette editors missed these grade-school spelling errors on the FRONT PAGE...don't you have "spell-check?" A University newspaper? This IS embarrassing. Sigh. L.Harnick

On Tuesday, March 16, 2010, the University Students’ Council held a special session of the council in order to debate whether the organization should change its entire structure of governance. The vote passed unanimously. Finally. Now I can already feel the average reader squirming on the inside as they comprehend the first ... (more)
I’ve never met a leprechaun and my drinking is not excessive. I don’t believe I’m particularly lucky and I certainly do not believe my ancestry entitles me to a kiss. My favourite colour is Kelly green however, but that’s beside the point. I’m Irish — or at least my heritage is. It’s ... (more)
This week I will be cheering for Lauren Woolstencroft. Don’t be surprised if you’ve never heard of her, she’s a downhill skier who won gold and silver medals at the Turin Winter Games — she’s also a Paralympian. Last Friday marked the opening ceremony of the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, which ... (more)
The Good James Duthie — Duthie has proven throughout the Olympics he can do more than just his regular shtick of moderating the assorted jocks and goons TSN assembles for its hockey coverage. Duthie was natural, eloquent and, at times, humourous while serving as the co-host of Olympic Daytime. Early ... (more)
Hey, Chile. Thanks a lot. You couldn’t have picked a more inconvenient time to have a natural disaster. Come on, who decides to get hit by a quake during the Olympics? The Olympics! Didn’t you know the whole world would be distracted? Not to mention you’ve copied Haiti, minus the massive death ... (more)
I’m no elitist, but Western desperately needs to stiffen its admission standards. With first-year entrance grades averaging at 87 per cent, you’d expect Western students would be, by-and-large, an intelligent crowd. Not so. A walk through campus will quickly disillusion anyone who ever pictured university as an exclusive academic institution, full of only ... (more)
Another election has come and gone, and nothing has changed. For the position of University Students’ Council president, this year’s field featured six candidates, with academic backgrounds covering the spectrum. A spectrum, however, that did not include anything from science or engineering. The microcosm that is our campus is unfortunately representative of ... (more)
Pets and selfish people should not be paired up. I witnessed this abomination when I was in Toronto recently. With the snow flying, an extreme wind chill and a freezing –10 C temperature, a friend and I decided to step into Starbucks to grab a coffee and defrost our faces. Unfortunately, a ... (more)
My friend’s friend is running for University Students’ Council president. I might as well vote for them, right? It’s no secret many students have no interest or aren’t “in-the-loop” when it comes to the USC. Recently, I was talking to a media, information and technoculture student about the gimmicks used throughout ... (more)
The meals for $3 (MF3) proposal — one of USC presidential candidate Marshall Goldfarb’s platform points — reminds me of my passion for Jessica Biel. It’s nothing more than a fantasy. Hurdle 1: The Western/USC Lease Agreement One of the perks of owning a university is the ability to create contracts with ... (more)
