The recipe for illegal dance moves and new wave revival is clandestine and sensitive. Three parts synthesizer, one quarter addictive-bass lines and three-eighths magic drum explosions add up to a incalculable fractional value of dance-hall danger unprecedented in modern popular music. But a band also needs just enough pop in their sound to take off… Continue reading Music Interview: Critical Overheating

The Dudes are ready to burn a crater into the U of C’s campus with an off the hook show during BSD. “We’re going to make it a dance party to remember. An excuse to get loose,” says Bob, guitarist and inventor-in-residence for the Dudes. After a year which included everything from a drug charge… Continue reading Music Interview: Dudesseriously…

Report Card: Swimming
By Emily Senger
Talent Men’s swim capatin Richard Cormack and women’s vetran swimmer Emma Spooner lead the Dinos to a second-place finish at Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships. Their leadership skills in the pool will be sorely missed. But with up-and-commers like the young Liz Hendrick, who won gold at nationals in breast-stroke, at just 18 years of age,… Continue reading Report Card: Swimming
Report Card: Wrestling
Talent With a deep pool of talent including names like Damon Booth, Krista Wells, Joe Bentley, Brit Laverdue, Huy Nguyen and others, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the Dinos are a force feared across the West and beyond.

Led by Sean Kendal’s 123 kills, Tyler Fraser’s 62 digs, and Ellis’ monster serve, the Dinos posted some pretty decent numbers all year. Unfortunately, injury… Continue reading Report Card: Men’s Volleyball
Report Card: Women’s Hockey
By Sean Nyilassy and Lee Bogle
Talent Ummm… ahh… Shauna Raugust was pretty good with the most points on the team. Beth Nerland had seven goals, which is pretty neat. But with no team members in the top 15 for points in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, there is little more to say. Effort What the team lacked in aptitude, they… Continue reading Report Card: Women’s Hockey
Report Card: Men’s Hockey
Talent With Scott Talbot and Donald Choukalos tending the net, the Dinos usually had little to worry about in their zone. Talbot even received the coveted University of Calgary Male Rookie of the Year Award. Forward Wade Davis was also recently awarded with the fourth and final Husky WHL Graduate of the Month Award. Effort… Continue reading Report Card: Men’s Hockey
