I’m no shrill prude, but…

Carla Wintersgill Editor-in-Chief Our Love and Sex edition is by far our most popular issue of the year, with a 90 per cent pick-up rate. But the reaction to a picture that we published in our Feb. 11 Love and Sex issue deserves to be acknowledged in this space. For those who missed it, the […]

FROM CHAOS COMES GREATNESS

February 25, 2009

Carla Wintersgill Editor-in-Chief In case you haven’t been following the news, let me break it down for you: the global economy is in the shitter. If you graduate this year, have fun trying to find a job. And it’s not going to get better anytime soon. Despite the gloomy forecast, there is a feeling of […]

EVEN BETTER THAN THE REAL THING

February 11, 2009

Carla Wintersgill Editor-in-Chief This time each year, the regular Eyeopener gets put on the shelf and is taken over by our annual Love and Sex issue. The responsibility of this massive undertaking falls in the lap of the second- term features editor, and as someone who has been there before, I can attest to the […]

AUDIT SETS DANGEROUS PRECEDENT

January 28, 2009

By Liane McLarty General Manager The audit motion that was passed at the Ryerson Students’ Union meeting last week appears at first to be more childish pushy-pushy in the sandbox on the third floor of the SCC. Yet, after having read the actual motion, there is some bad news: the CFS lackeys are right. I […]

A BILLION ISN’T SO BAD

January 28, 2009

By Alex Hamlyn Biz & Tech Editor So there’s a recession. The global economy is nose-diving, and it’s pointing at a sharp, spiky mountain peak not a marshmallow pillow. But maybe it won’t be that bad for Canada. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s budget, revealed Tuesday, is predicting a $34 billion deficit, thanks to tax cuts […]

SETTING THE STAGE FOR AN RSU ELECTION

January 21, 2009

By Julianna Cummins News Editor The board of directors meeting was essentially a preview of the election. Members of the former Ryevolution slate said money is missing from students’ pockets, that the elections are corrupt, and are demanding the university examine every aspect of the Ryerson Students’ Union. Jabbar and other former Renew members are […]

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THIS ISSUE? SERIOUSLY, PLEASE WRITE

January 21, 2009

Carla Wintersgill Editor-in-Chief Dear loyal Eyeopener readers, Lately I’ve found checking my email a drag. The problem is, there’s never anything interesting. All I ever get are indie band press releases, ads for porn sites and Ryerson University Google alerts. Where are the thoughtful, funny and indignant letters? What will I fill my editorial section […]

WHAT YOU WON’T SEE IN THE EYEOPENER

January 14, 2009

By Carla Wintersgill Editor-in-Chief As editor-in-chief, I take pride in telling our readers all about our stories for the week. Our primary role as journalists is informing the public, and nothing makes me happier than a good scoop. Having the best campus news coverage is what we strive for every day. So it seems counterintuitive […]

SHOWING OUR RYE COLOURS

November 26, 2008

Carla Wintersgill Editor-in-Chief It’s hard to believe, but I’ve already come to the halfway point of my tenure as editor-in-chief. Most of the masthead has been looking forward to the last issue, if only because it marks the end of the term and the beginning of winter break. Our sports editor, Erin Valois, has been […]

SCHOOL IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH

November 5, 2008

By Carla Wintersgill Editor-in-Chief In second year, I got a lung infection just around midterm season. I kept going to school. Eventually the dizziness got so bad that I resigned myself to squeezing in a doctor’s appointment between classes. He gave me a doozy of a cough medicine. It knocked me out for three days […]
