Not quite undefeated

By Jo Wynn

They’ve still got it. That’s what the Dinos women’s volleyball team showed last weekend at the University of Regina’s tournament. The team opened on Friday to a bittersweet beginning, beating the U of R Cougars 3-0, but losing to the University of Alberta Pandas 1-3. After Calgary won the first set, the Pandas came back… Continue reading Not quite undefeated

Soccersaurs settle for a tie

By Tanya DeLyzer and Amanda VanSteelandt

The men’s soccer game on Sat., Sept. 25 against the University of British Columbia T-Birds was “eerily similar” to previous games this season. The Dinos must like it from behind, because they spent most of the game catching up to the T-Birds. The first goal came from a blatantly offside Luke Sandilands of UBC. The… Continue reading Soccersaurs settle for a tie

Six rookie ballers to make things right

By Lee Bogle and Sean Nyilassy

“We’re bigger, we’re deeper, and we’re a year older.” Women’s basketball Head Coach Shawnee Harle’s words are filled with meaning.

Movie Review: Wayward First Daughter

When you look at the repertoire of Forest Whitaker’s roles, compared side-to-side with his directorial portfolio you have to wonder how in the hell someone involved with films like Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai and Platoon could also be responsible for cinematic atrocities like Sandra Bullock’s Hope Floats and the dismal Waiting to Exhale.… Continue reading Movie Review: Wayward First Daughter

Outstanding Violinist to Perform in Calgary

By Kristina Birkholz

Performance. It’s an act beginning with an energetic audience eagerly awaiting the arrival of the star musicians. As performers cross over to their places on stage, footsteps echo through the hush of the auditorium. Everyone is in position and as the lead musician raises his instrument, he has time for one thought: “Is my fly… Continue reading Outstanding Violinist to Perform in Calgary

Change the channel…Wait this is a play

By Emily Senger

Episodes of Will and Grace are tailored to fit into a tight half hour slot for a reason. A weak plot based on the misadventures of over-the-top characters is only cute for 30 minutes, after that it becomes nauseating.Workshop Theater’s newest play, Chapter Two, is reminiscent of a Will and Grace-style sit-com, with multiple scene… Continue reading Change the channel…Wait this is a play
