Recap: IMA Karaoke Pub Night

October 3, 2010

Film, photography and new media students filled the Ram in the Rye last Friday for the the Image Arts Course Union's (IMA) first karaoke pub night. For those of you who missed it, here are some photos to make you regret staying home to watch The Office re-runs. If these show the IMA's first pub night, I can only imagine how their future ones will turn out.

I miss you like crazy

September 29, 2010

Relationships are tough at the best of times. When you and your significant other are attending faraway schools, things are even tougher.

A Wardrobe for all seasons

September 27, 2010

It’s that fickle time of year again, when we desperately try to transition our wardrobes from summer to fall and, let’s face it, the calendar month and the weather do not coordinate. Yes, we’ve been though this before, yet we still find ourselves jumping prematurely into our heavy fall wardrobe and sweating all day, or freezing whilst trying to keep summer alive. Here are a few simple tips to make this year’s transition into fall as easy, comfortable and stylish as possible without the midday wardrobe changes.

Be a jerk to fight off sickness

September 24, 2010

It all starts with one person. Someone shows up in your classroom or your office (or your newsroom) with a mild case of the sniffles. You and your peers offer some sympathy, but barely take notice. But soon his or her sniffles turn into a full blown cold, complete with runny nose and impromptu sneezes. Before you know it, everyone else is sick to. I’ve seen this happen too many times to count, but this year, I won’t let myself get caught in this cycle, and neither should you. Here are a few rude tips that will help you ward of cold and flu for as long as possible.

You know it’s Wednesday when students are dropping like flies. Photo editor Chelsea Pottage caught these three students napping across from each other in the Student Campus Centre. Photos: Chelsea Pottage

Event Recap: IMA Frosh Exhibition

September 20, 2010

The IMA’s first ever orientation event, held at the newly renamed IMA Gallery, was exactly what you’d expect. There were boys in bowties, girls with glasses, and some sort of performance art piece that involved someone yelling “I CAN’T SEE ANYTHING!”

Video: Move snitch! Eye vs Rye

September 20, 2010

If you’ve read any of the three campus newspapers, you already know that Ryerson has a Quidditch team. But the Eyeopener, both amazed and bemused by this story, decided to go one step further and challenge the team to a match of epic proportions. It would be a classic case of the amateurs versus the veterans. It would also be a way to get us out of the office for something other than free food and parties.

September 17, 2010

The Urban Hip-Hop Union at Ryerson strives to prove that hip-hop not only a lifestyle, but a culture. They definitely made a believer out of first-year journalism student Christina Dun, who let the Eyeopener get a sneak peak into the world of UHHU by allowing us to document her audition for UHHU's very selective dance team. If selected, Christina would go on to compete at the Ontario University Competition for Hip-Hop with the rest of the team.

Dancing Through Life

September 17, 2010

If you’d asked me on the morning of September 15th, how I felt about that evening’s Urban Hip Hop Union (UHHU) dance team audition, I would have told you that I was pumped and excited to finally be able to dance here in Toronto. But if you’d asked me five minutes before the audition, you’d have seen a look of panic flash across my face.

Life in the rush line

September 16, 2010

My friend Adam and I had originally planned to get our Saturday fix of Toronto culture at the CN Tower. But then we thought of the Toronto International Film Festival, and decided that the CN Tower wasn’t going anywhere.

Video: One-on-one with Shad

September 12, 2010

Canadian hip hop musician Shad performed on Friday during the Ryerson Students' Union parade and picnic. A graduate of Wilfred Laurier University, Shad recorded his first album in his last year of studies and recently was nominated for the Polaris music prize. His latest album, TSOL, has spawned numerous hits including Rose Garden and Ya I get it. The Eyeopener's community editor Allyssia Alleyne caught up with Shad before he went on stage.

Event Recap: Parade and Picnic

September 11, 2010

On Friday, September 10 about 1000 students marched down Yonge Street and ferried over to Toronto Island to indulge in a free afternoon of live entertainment and barbecued meats (and pseudo meats for the vegetarians). Your's truly was there to check it out. Here's a rundown of what you may have missed.
