Director Departs
2005-03-03
After over 25 years working within the inner sanctum of the University of Calgary, Rhonda Williams, currently Director of the University Secretariat, is leaving.

Prentice in the wrong: fundamentalists
2005-03-03
Letter - Editor, the Gauntlet:

Jim Prentice has decided to support the bill after talking to his constituents in Calgary North, putting aside his own values as a Christian. CCC is raising $100,000 for the campaign and has started a web site to collect donations (http://www.concernedchristians .ca/removejimprentice/content/index.htm).

 Music Interview: No need to Crtl+Alt+Delete
2005-03-03
Music - Somewhere in a dark basement, a punk rocker leans back in his chair and flips on the TV. It doesn't sound like anything special, but this isn't any regular basement and this certainly isn't any regular guy. Sitting amongst thousands of dollars of equipment in his own recording studio, Casey Lewis checks out the first ever music video by his band, The Failure.
"We just sent this out to MuchMusic," Lewis says, eyes glued to the screen. "We're pretty stoked about it."

 NUTV Does Documentaries
2005-03-03
They began shooting in late November, continued throughout December, and then it was time to edit. Numerous proposals were submitted, however, only four were selected. This selection meant the opportunity of a lifetime--an opportunity for first time documentary film makers to create their eight minute masterpieces. So, that's just what they did.

Now in its second consecutive year, the doc school has provided its members with valuable experience through workshops and meetings with industry professionals.
