Stage set for techie jobs

By Deborah Gardner There’s no business like show business. But it’s a tough market to break into for technical theatre students. “It’s a difficult market to penetrate as a young student or grad.

Nontarians out of luck for jobs, money

By Renata D’Aliesio Moving away from home to go to university can be terrifying. Moving to a province like Ontario for school may seem like a nightmare.

Figure skaters are number six in the province

By Sean Fitz-Gerald The Ryerson figure skating team started their reading week off on the right blade, finishing sixth out of 11 teams at the OWIAA championships in Waterloo. “Other universities are scared of Ryerson,” said coach Jennifer Chapman. “They know that we’re contenders now.” Ryerson ended the meet with 37.5 points, enough to finish […]

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 […]

Smokers find refuge at Rye

By Sean Fitz-Gerald The Cavern may benefit from Toronto’s new anti-smoking legislation, as nicotine addicts search for safe places to light up. “I do come here often, and I will come here more often now, because I can smoke,” said geography student Glenn Coulter from behind a heavy cloud of smoke at the campus pub.

High schoolers give RPU the cold shoulder
