Editor, the Gauntlet,Re: "Apologetic Geer," Jan. 17, 2002,We have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Last week, a fellow Engineer wrote about his displeasure with the Engineering Anthem, attitudes and our reputation on campus. I wish to take this opportunity to inform you of a few things that most students, and apparently some engineers, don’t… Continue reading Letter, Re: “Apologetic Geer,” Jan. 17, 2002

Letter, Re: “Universal transit before Universal Pass,” Jan. 17, 2002,
Editor, the Gauntlet,Re: "Universal transit before Universal Pass," Jan. 17, 2002,I couldn’t agree with you more.

We bore witness to its creation, like some awful demon-ridden exorcism, whose epic labour was eight painful years in the making.Congratulations, students, you now have… Continue reading The impossible dream
