Three things to think about

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 […]

Dyke puts a spin on DJing

By Paul Sambla As a kid growing up in a small town in Ontario, Denise Benson would have to invent ways for her radio to pick-up CBC’s Brave New Waves. Now she’s the one picking the tunes to spin. Benson, an RTA graduate, has worked at KLN 88.1 for 10 years. But her new program […]

Nontarians out of luck for jobs, money

The height of fashion

By Renata D’Aliesio Ryerson’s catwalks are not for small women. “Females over the Height of 5’7” ONLY! All others will be denied an Audition!!!” reads a sign posted by first-year fashion students. The poster advertised auditions which took place over two weeks ago at Ryerson for the Women’s Wear Fashion Show. While stating height requirements […]

Circle of friends

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 […]

Figure skaters are number six in the province

By Sean Fitz-Gerald The Ryerson figure skating team started their reading week off on the right blade, finishing sixth out of 11 teams at the OWIAA championships in Waterloo. “Other universities are scared of Ryerson,” said coach Jennifer Chapman. “They know that we’re contenders now.” Ryerson ended the meet with 37.5 points, enough to finish […]
