2004-11-11 - News Students, faculty and support staff rejoice at an overwhelming funding increase announced by Dr. Harvey Weingarten and Premier Ralph Klein. Oh wait, that didn’t happen. Instead insufficient government funding and budget cuts eat away at the core, while this devilish duo tries to distract us by (re-)announcing $247 million in research funding for 2004. The average undergrad will not see this money. Nice try guys, now where is my pie? Story: Ralph and Harvey snowjob students

Students at Princeton University, the University of Utah and eight other colleges will be offered some textbooks in electronic PDF format at two-thirds the cost of their printed counterparts. More... (1 comment)  More like kidd millenni-dumbSeriously, that's the level of humour in Uncle Dubya's Jihad Jamboree 2005-05-26 - At first glance, it would appear Ron Callari and Jack Pittman try entirely too hard to fit in with the radical left by taking meaningless potshots at George W. Bush and Co. with their book Uncle Dubya's Jihad Jamboree. Upon further inspection, this proves correct. The book is nothing but a failed attempt at conveying any insight whatsoever on the subject of its critique and is cloaked in blind and self-destructive partisanship. After an unwarranted comparison of the book's Elmer Fudd look-alike in diapers with a funny historic comic character, Uncle Dubya's Jihad Jamboree comes to a grinding start by praising Bill and Monica's legacy of funky smells left in the Oval Office. In 144 chronologically sequential pages of what appear to be Internet blogs and web comics rivaling the best Microsoft Paint masterpieces, the authors somehow manage to say absolutely nothing of conclusive value. Their original Internet content dating from 2000-2004 gained nothing being put to paper. More... CJSW finally gets what's coming 2005-04-07 - Editorial - After too many years of waiting, countless false starts, and more hours meetings than anyone would care to count, CJSW and the Students' Union have finally reached an operating agreement. To most students, such a legal milestone may not appear to mean much. Even CJSW Station Manager Chad Saunders admits that 33 pages of legalese isn't particularly sexy, but existing as a separate legal entity from the SU, and moving into new digs at the top of Mac Hall makes a world of difference for students and the community. Congratulations are certainly in order to the current and former CJSW members for finally realizing their goal. When the saga began on Feb. 25, 1994, few thought that more than a decade of hard work would be required to get CJSW out of their dilapidated 1970s hole in the bottom of Mac Hall. Squabbles over ownership of assets, where and how CJSW could operate, and delays Mac Hall expansion always conspired to keep their goal slightly out of reach. But after 11 years of effort, CJSW has finally pulled it off. More...  Bald is beautiful, cancer ugly2005-03-10 - For the third year in a row, students will get the chance to raise money for cancer. Last March, 125 people at the University of Calgary shaved their heads to raise $80,000 for the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta. "If we can get the same number again, that would be awesome," said event organizer and former U of C student Irfaan Sorathia. "We're taking a lot of stuff we've learned in previous years and applied it this year." More...

SEX AWARENESS: Students' sexual health issues 2005-02-17 - With over two decades of experience, Dr. Milne has seen students with all kinds of questions about sex. Not surprisingly, students' concerns about sex are rather constant. "Two of the most common STDs we're seeing are human papilloma virus (genital warts) and chlamydia. The other risks are there, but we don't see them as much: AIDS, hepatitis, syphilis," Dr. Milne explained. More...

People make fun of you, it's really hard when people stare," said Maria, a second-year science student. "I don't feel like it's a safe environment. Holding someone's hand, even. I feel unsafe doing it." Maria came out two months ago, to face a campus and a community that has become vocally hostile toward gays, due to the same sex marriage debate. She relies on fellow students and the Gay and Lesbian Association of Students and Staff for support. More... SEX AWARENESS: U of C sex myths as debunked by Dr. Louise Milne 2005-02-17 - Myth: Two condoms provide better protection than one. We refer to it humorously as "double-bagging." That is something we do not recommend in any circumstances. The use of two condoms increases friction, which can lead to more breakage, and there's more slippage. Using two condoms does not give you added protection, it puts you at higher risk. More... The crisis of accountability 2005-02-10 - Editorial - It's easy to become euphoric at Premier Ralph Klein's announcement of massive funding increases to post-secondary education. Student leaders, educators and newspapers editorialists alike have all but soiled themselves in joy and self-congratulation since Tuesday at the students' perceived victory. More difficult will be teasing out actual results from Klein's Tuesday address. Universities, colleges and trade schools in Alberta only accepted 13,200 of 42,000 qualified applicants last year. There are 140,000 students in the post-secondary education system right now. The 15,000 student spaces to be added in the next three years still leaves up to 27,000 students per year without places to go. Assuming (erroneously) no growth in demand for PSE, current demands on PSE will barely be met six years from now when a total of 30,000 new student spaces are added. More...
