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 […]

Media war wounds student press

November 8, 2000

By Lori Fazari Sometimes a free thing isn’t always a good thing. You may soon see a number of newsstands on campus offering free Toronto Star newspapers.

Welcome to the Ryerson of 2050

Construction nightmares on Gould Street

September 27, 2000

Santiago Calatrava is back at the drawing board, hatching plans for the most anticipated structure in Ryerson’s building spree. Too bad the school spent the whole summer looking at models of something they had no intention of building.

ICE surveys miss their mark

September 20, 2000

Since the administration doesn’t publish the findings of students' surveys, it’s no wonder students have a hard time taking Ryerson’s method of evaluating courses and professors seriously

Campus alcohol policies old and fuzzy

September 13, 2000

If the school fails to properly enforce or update its alcohol policies, how can it dictate to you how you should behave?

Welcome to an expensive time-waster

September 13, 2000

"During my four years studying journalism here, I quickly realized that I spent more money on classes as I actually attended less and less."
