The Swayze train made its final stop in heaven this Monday and the world is now short one more husband, father and actor as the star of Ghost and Dirty Dancing succumbed to a 20 month long battle with pancreatic cancer.
One has to admire Swayze's drive and stubbornness. While fighting the disease, he continued to act until finally becoming too ill to do so. He made several television appearances and talked openly about his struggles; he had something to teach us; information to relay to those who are as of yet unaffected by the horrors of cancer, and we are better for it.

Somewhere deep in the greens of the Mexican jungle the world's saddest mariachi band is playing the world's saddest song as thousands mourn the death of what they deemed a cultural institution - a land mark that acted as a catalyst between two North American countries striving for understanding and tolerance.
Speedy Gonzales himself could not save the University of Calgary Taco Time from its ultimate demise- it is soon to be replaced by the stereotypical and offensive Canadian coffee shop Tim Hortons.

By this time of year, all students fit neatly into two categories. Either you've allocated your time well, completed your assignments and are planning to get drunk on Bermuda Shorts Day to celebrate your accomplishments or you've not done any of those things and merely wish to drink the pain away.
Here at the Gauntlet, we feel your pain. Of the dozen-or-so regular staff at the paper, the average GPA is somewhere in the vicinity of 2.4. Not only do we know how to fail, we also know how to succeed at failing. At this critical time of year, we've cracked open the vault to share our secret to dealing with failure with our readers.

A look at the world's greatest achievement since the pyramids

Vowels Editor
Human beings have walked the Earth for roughly 200,000 years, according to scientists. In that time, we have discovered fire, mastered flight and made scientific discoveries that have revolutionized the way the world works. The creation of Horsedog makes every other human achievement seem like a small child's inane scrawlings. In the annals of Western civilization, only the Cosby Show and Webster's English Dictionary come close to having the cultural impact that Horsedog boasts.
Created by Nobel laureate Julie Phillips, Horsedog has garnered unprecented critical acclaim and catapulted the paper that publishes it from a ragtag publication full of typos and factual inaccuracies into one that publishes pure greatness on its comics page.
