Editorial Adopt this law, screw our parents October 1, 1997 It is very rare when anything coming out of Winnipeg can be called “visionary.”
Editorial Tuna cold shoulder to world’s paparazzi September 10, 1997 I eat tuna. A lot of tuna. I used to eat peanut butter. Peanut butter is full of saturated fats. Saturated fats contribute to heart disease and dimpled asses.
Editorial Three things to think about March 12, 1997 By Douglas Cudmore Scientists recently succeeded in cloning sheep. What’s next — more sheep? Note the scripture verse “the meek shall inherent the earth.” Sheep are notably meek. They already took over New Zealand, didn’t they? If the Spice Girls are such a talented group (writing their own catchy tunes, providing their own vocals) then […]
Editorial Circle of friends March 5, 1997 By Natalie Armstrong I met a special circle of friends in university. I drifted in and joined the ring about a year and a half ago. We all may have drifted in around the same time. I can’t remember how it happened. This core group of friends was nothing I’d ever experienced. I was never […]
Editorial Agitate (and have fun too) March 5, 1997 By Douglas Cudmore It’s been one of those weeks when everybody is pissing me off. OSAP is continuing to bleed me dry. The stream of rejection letters from potential employers is starting to seep into my mailbox. And, even with the results of Tuesday’s megacity referendum showing an anti-Conservative landslide, it’s obvious that Toronto will […]
Editorial The Mike Harrisutra February 19, 1997 By Douglas Cudmore Maybe it’s just the influx of spring air this week, but a strange thing happened to me while I was reading the paper. I was wading through the usual litany of bad news and, instead of reacting with my normal outrage, I found myself aroused. And it came to me — the […]
Editorial Canadian culture – out of print February 12, 1997 By Douglas Cudmore Even for a country that complains about it’s loss of culture as much as Canada, the last two weeks have been a particularly rich time of bellyaching. Our leaders have themselves worked up because our nation could be losing its magazine industry. According to a recent ruling by the World Trade Organization […]
Editorial The First Annual Eyeopener Election Endorsement January 29, 1997 By Douglas Cudmore I’m just starting out in journalism, but I’ve already learned one lesson — the problem with politics is that it’s mostly politicians involved. That’s the problem faced writing the Eyeopener Election Endorsement — looking at the five bright young men vying for next year’s RyeSAC presidency, it’s hard to choose. First, I […]
Editorial When it comes to work, RyeSAC doesn’t get it January 22, 1997 By Douglas Cudmore In case you missed the news, Kelli Campbell, RyeSAC’s VP education, received a large pay raise last December from the council’s Board of Directors. She pointed out that she was working 32 hours a week, yet she was only getting paid for 20. So now her extra hours of toil are recognized. […]
Editorial What a boring document means to you January 15, 1997 By Douglas Cudmore The release of the Report of the Advisory Panel on Future Directions for Postsecondary Education (the White Paper) couldn’t have come at a better time. Never heard of it? That’s exactly my point. The document, created by a five-member group appointed by the Ontario Conservatives, was presented to the public on Dec. […]
Editorial Ryerson the bad September 4, 1996 By Pete Nowak For many of you, this is your first university, your first time away from home, your first time in the big city. You’re the innocent little hick kid that gets dropped off by Mama right into the middle of what you’ve dreamed of since you were a wee-young tot. You’re here for […]
