Circle of friends

By Natalie Armstrong I met a special circle of friends in university. I drifted in and joined the ring about a year and a half ago. We all may have drifted in around the same time. I can’t remember how it happened. This core group of friends was nothing I’d ever experienced. I was never […]

Agitate (and have fun too)

By Douglas Cudmore It’s been one of those weeks when everybody is pissing me off. OSAP is continuing to bleed me dry. The stream of rejection letters from potential employers is starting to seep into my mailbox. And, even with the results of Tuesday’s megacity referendum showing an anti-Conservative landslide, it’s obvious that Toronto will […]

The Mike Harrisutra

February 19, 1997

By Douglas Cudmore Maybe it’s just the influx of spring air this week, but a strange thing happened to me while I was reading the paper. I was wading through the usual litany of bad news and, instead of reacting with my normal outrage, I found myself aroused. And it came to me — the […]

Canadian culture – out of print

February 12, 1997

By Douglas Cudmore Even for a country that complains about it’s loss of culture as much as Canada, the last two weeks have been a particularly rich time of bellyaching.

January 22, 1997

By Douglas Cudmore In case you missed the news, Kelli Campbell, RyeSAC’s VP education, received a large pay raise last December from the council’s Board of Directors. She pointed out that she was working 32 hours a week, yet she was only getting paid for 20. So now her extra hours of toil are recognized. […]

What a boring document means to you

January 15, 1997

By Douglas Cudmore The release of the Report of the Advisory Panel on Future Directions for Postsecondary Education (the White Paper) couldn’t have come at a better time. Never heard of it? That’s exactly my point. The document, created by a five-member group appointed by the Ontario Conservatives, was presented to the public on Dec. […]

Ryerson the bad

September 4, 1996

By Pete Nowak For many of you, this is your first university, your first time away from home, your first time in the big city. You’re the innocent little hick kid that gets dropped off by Mama right into the middle of what you’ve dreamed of since you were a wee-young tot. You’re here for […]

October 25, 1995

I will not be voting. I have no idea what the vote is about. Lately I have seen so many signs about voting, I don’t have a f#@#$#@ing clue which is which.
