September 30, 1998

Level the paying field
September 30, 1998
Students, faculty, administration. The school, as an entity, is made up of these three parts — a triumvirate, if you will. In theory, the machinery of education only functions if all three parts work in equal momentum.
The flip side of the loonie argument
September 30, 1998
I’m talking about the cadre of opinion makers who have lined up behind economic poster girl Sherry Cooper, media whore and chief economist at Nesbitt Burns, to support her call for lower taxes to save the drowning dollar.
Corporate global invasion
September 23, 1998
Is the issue of corporatization merely a two-sided battle of corporate freedom to do business versus young people’s idealism?
A birthday reflection
September 16, 1998
Some anniversaries are more important than others. When one turns 50, for example, there’s the usual celebration of time gone by, achievements are reflected on, a joyous occasion is marked. The festivities that have been thrown by a little college that kept on growing — on its 50th birthday — are well deserved.
Rob In-the-Groundatstein
April 8, 1998
If our miserable lives have any impact on the scope of history, then today would surely be as banal and ultimately useless as every other day, even though and Eyeopener legend is dead. The putrefying corpse of Rob Granatstein, Editor-in-Chief of The Eyeopener for 1997-98, was found sitting upright on a park bench in the […]
An Eyeopener intern’s life blows mainly good
April 8, 1998
By Luis Mejicano Despite the low blow internships have taken this year thanks to Billy Clinton’s hormones I am proud to say that my placement experience at The Eyeopener was far different from Monica Lewinsky’s — and the rest of the interns at my school for that matter. First and foremost, I did not engage […]
Women’s toilet is the worst … period
March 25, 1998
By Stacey Stein Cleanliness is next to godliness. Ahh … no truer words have ever been uttered. If you ever read this space, you may remember a recent column in which a male Eyeopener staffer deplored the sorry state of men’s washrooms. It almost made me feel sorry for all the crap (no pun intended) […]
Student Centre? Yes!
March 25, 1998
By Rob Granatstein Ryerson needs this student centre. The timing’s perfect. How can you say no? There is no more space at this school. Ask the Aerospace Engineering course union. For the past year they’ve been trying to get a measly little office. Ryerson can’t even find space in the steam room for these folks. […]
Not having a gay old time
March 18, 1998
By Lori Fazari Yes, I’m a heterosexual female, but I love gay men. It’s not like I go out and intentionally fall for gay men. It’s just my damn luck. I think a guy’s good looking, funny and dresses well, and bingo, you can bet he’s gay. This twist of luck follows me everywhere. When […]
We’ll believe it when we see cash
March 18, 1998
By Rob Granatstein Toronto city council made a new discovery on Wednesday — and it’s called Ryerson. For the first time anyone can remember, a toronto politician, Kyle Rae in this case, showed up at our university and talked about this school receiving money from the municipal government. Rae said Ryerson should get about $2 […]
Why Charest must run in Quebec
March 11, 1998
By Dino Sossi “If there’s one commitment I’ve made to my children, it’s that I’m going to pass on to them the country I received from my parents.” – Jean Charest It’s interesting that less than a year after Charest said this in an election battle he could never win, it may cost him the […]
