Ryerson’s intolerant thuggery
November 14, 2001
Editor in Chief Shane Dingman says that the school is wrong in preventing Muslim students from praying in the gym
Since the events of Sept. 11
November 7, 2001
By Shane Dingman Am I the first person in North America who is grotesquely tired of any sentence containing the words “since the events of Sept. 11”? Sept. 11 is the goat, the grease on the skids of excuses across the world. Economy going south? Gotta be Sept. 11. Milk sour? Sept. 11. Children snapping […]
The nuts are running the asylum
October 24, 2001
From the desk of the bastard editor Journalists wrench their hands and jabber that news is a mission not a job, but those hopeless fucks clutched their nut-sacks and moaned about the terrible danger to us all when Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather got the ol’ anthrax-o-gram.
Making a desert called peace
October 17, 2001
From the desk of the bastard editor For all three of you who missed a new installment of the bastard editor last week because, through technical foul-ups, I printed the same page two weeks in a row, I apologize.
What’s eating revolutionaries?
October 3, 2001
From the desk of the bastard Editor As even a casual student of history would conclude, there is a definite downside to revolution. For one, it is usually the product of fanatics, like Lenin’s “vanguard of the proletariat.” Any insurrection against an entrenched power structure is bound to be ugly, especially if we are speaking […]
On the relentless tuition-raising shitrain
September 26, 2001
From the desk of the bastard Editor Oh joy, the student wallet is in for another vigorous raping. I approach this subject with fear, trepidation and general nausea. There is nothing so pathetic, so outright moronic and childish, as a campus newspaper badgering its administration to lower tuition levels.
The inhuman condition
September 19, 2001
From the desk of the bastard editor It takes a moment in time like this to expose the gimp leg of civilization as we know it. I refer of course to blind prejudice and fear of those who are different, especially in this era of voluminous information.
The Tao of Frosh, in Brief

Parting won’t end the passion
November 29, 2000
By Renata D’Aliesio I had just arrived home from a day of first-year classes when an Eyeopener editor called to tell me I had won the sports editor’s job. In response, I blurted out such eloquent expressions as, “Oh my God!” and “Wow!” I sat on my parent’s couch for the next hour with a […]
Respect takes more than a name
November 22, 2000
By Lori Fazari Would a school by any other name be taken any more seriously? This question is now under intense scrutiny in the upper reaches of Jorgenson Hall. In their efforts to enhance the quality of their name brand, Ryerson’s administration is proposing to drop the “polytechnic” tag when marketing the school. Just press […]
Message lost in the rhetoric
November 15, 2000
By Lori Fazari The fluorescent yellow posters were hard to miss. A walk down the hall from our Jorgenson Hall office brought to our attention images of a skull and crossbones, enough to warrant a double take. The object of the posters’ condemnation: private universities. Privatizing Ontario’s Resources First, Walkerton’s Water Next, YOUR Education The […]
