Editor, the Gauntlet, So, the board of governors decided to raise tuition. Am I surprised? No. Am I unhappy? Yes, somewhat. Up until a few hours ago, I was also optimistic. Maybe their master plan for making U of C a better school, will actually produce results. I assumed they included the lowly undergraduate’s needs… Continue reading Editor, the Gauntlet: Letters

Editor, the Gauntlet, Re: “Letters: Anti-Americanism misguided,” March 27, 2003. I cannot help but say that the time Greg Clayton spent composing his letter would have been better spent educating himself on the realities and motives of the conflict. His letter provides nothing but the rhetoric available on the hourly CNN newscast. With some research… Continue reading Editor, the Gauntlet: Letters

Editor, the Gauntlet. Re: “Report cards, Swimming,” March 27, 2003. “F,” you think nodding to yourself in an interested fashion. The most confrontational letter grade in the system, F evokes feelings of anger and rage and the sudden realization that one’s brain must be shriveled. One F may well be the end of Karoline’s journalistic… Continue reading Editor, the Gauntlet: Letters

Re: “Do you know what a mullet is?” Jan. 23, 2003. I understand that there are some people who are worried about the symbolism of the mullet, but we have to understand that all this is a media stunt that happens on “ONE” day in two months of a tuition awareness campaign. The Students’ Union… Continue reading Editor, the Gauntlet: Letters

Re: “SLC member’s conduct questioned,” Jan. 29,2003. I’m confused if this article is regarding my behaviour in SLC or me writing a report about a houseboating trip. The general consensus seems to be geared toward “exposing Anant” (ie. I was “resting” meaning what?) with no real basis regarding my work ethic in the SU. I… Continue reading Editor, the Gauntlet: Letters

Re: “Do you know what a mullet is?” Jan. 29, 2003. The Students’ Union website claims that “with your mullet you will get 25 per cent off regular priced items at the Den.” Is this a tuition fight or an advertising stunt for the Den? Growing a mullet will not convince administration to cancel differential… Continue reading Editor, the Gauntlet: Letters

Re: “Do you know what a mullet is?” Jan. 23, 2003. Your editorial criticizes the University of Calgary Students’ Union in general and its President Matt Stambaugh in particular for their approach to fighting the proposed tuition increase and the proposed differential tuition for selected faculties. In my opinion you’re giving your student representatives a… Continue reading Editor, the Gauntlet: Letters

I’d like to add my voice to what I’m sure was dissappointment from the others you interviewed in the Arts Parkade earlier this morning. I’m disappointed that the university would gouge us like this. I think it was good karma for them to give the harder late-working students a bit of a break on parking.… Continue reading Editor, the Gauntlet: Letters

Editor, the Gauntlet,Re: “TLFs,” Nov. 14, 2002 Your November 14 issue contained a TLF which my friends think may be directed at me.This TLF was not sexist, racist, or homophobic, but don’t you think it could be perceived as a personal attack? You seem to think that I don’t want people to know that I… Continue reading Editor, the Gauntlet: Letters

Editor, the Gauntlet,Re: The Students’ Union In reviewing the letters and articles in the Gauntlet in the past few weeks, I have seen an obvious and disturbing trend, namely waves of SU criticisms. While constructive criticism of a legitimate institution is always welcome, I have found that the majority of these articles/letters have been unduly… Continue reading Editor, the Gauntlet: Letters
