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

Delve into the platforms and personalities of all six University Students’ Council presidential candidates.
At the start of our video interviews with each candidate, we asked them to sing as much or as little of the Western song as they could. The results were both awkward and hilarious.
Be sure to read more about the candidates through our elections portal.
Welcome to the Gazette’s very first food blog! My name’s Grace, I’m a sports editor at the Gazette, and I love food.
Student living is great, and admittedly one of my favourite things about university is the impromptu late night trips for takeout, but I refuse to settle for a regular dose of packaged food.
The purpose of this blog is to unite tasty, healthy, fast and easy meals all into one — all from a student-friendly living situation. We’ll practice with the frying pan, work with the crock-pot, and perfect the fine art of using the oven. Don’t worry — I’ll guide you through each step.
Don’t know what to buy at the grocery store? No problem. Unsure what a garlic press is? I’ll show you. Wish you didn’t have to buy your lunch on campus every day? We’ll fix that.
Whether you’re a masterful chef in the kitchen or you don’t know the difference between an oven and a stove, you’ll get something out of this blog.
The goal is to make some inexpensive delicious meals, impress your friends and family with your wicked kitchen skills, and learn how to experiment with ingredients successfully. Living on a student budget can make it difficult to eat fine cuisine, and that’s where innovation comes in. Go ahead and try something new!
And at the end of the day, if all else fails, throw on your game face and get creative in the kitchen.
Banana Peanut Butter French Toast
This is a fantastic breakfast dish that uses simple ingredients and is incredibly easy to throw together. I often freeze my bread so that it doesn’t go bad, so I typically make this meal after a trip to the grocery store and before I stick my bread in the freezer. I’m a huge peanut butter and banana fan, so this is one of my favourites.
1 banana, sliced
2 pieces of bread (I prefer 12 grain, but white bread is typically favoured for French toast. *note, make sure the bread is fresh)
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of vanilla
1 large egg
2 teaspoons of milk
2 tablespoons of peanut butter
Cooking oil
Directions:
- Spread peanut butter on both pieces of bread and then place banana slices on one piece, and make into sandwich.
- In a bowl — that’s wide enough to fit a slice of bread — whisk together egg, cinnamon, vanilla, and milk.
- Turn the stove on to medium heat and place oil (or butter) into pan. Make sure the pan isn’t too hot! This will sear the outside and leave the inside soggy.
- Dip the sandwich into the egg mixture (you should be able to soak up the whole mixture) and place into pan once oil is heated.
- Wait until the one side is golden brown then flip the sandwich and cook the other side.
Serve with extra banana slices and any other fruit that you have lying around. Add syrup if desired, and voila! A few minutes later and you’re left with a delicious and nutritious meal.
Every year, students enjoy a glamorous night at Western Charity Ball. What they don’t see is where the money goes.
This year, the Ball benefits the George Bray Sports Association, a hockey program for children with special learning needs. While the GBSA tries to keep costs to parents down, their operating costs are quite large. Their ice rental costs alone are over $40 000 per year.
The charity is also hoping to get exposure from the event. With such a targeted group of young people and limited resources, it’s hard for the GBSA to reach everyone who can benefit from the program.
Western Charity Ball
When: Saturday, Jan. 30
Where: London Convention Centre
Cost: $25.00 (plus tax) at InfoSource in the UCC or $27.00 (plus tax) online
