Gauntlet tradition states that the last editorial of the year is written by the outgoing Editor-in-Chief. I’ve been a student here for four years. Sometimes I feel like I’m not learning anything in my classes, but I’m a different person than the scared 20 year old who walked into the Gauntlet office in September 2010… Continue reading Parting shots from the EIC

And it all goes to shit
So it all goes to shit. The Gauntlet has elected a new editor-in-chief and news editor. The future looks bleak. While an excellent news editor, Riley Hill is sure to fail as editor-in-chief. “Just trust me,” he said as he proposed his iron-fisted, totalitarian reforms. “We’re too soft in this place. I want criticism, criticism,… Continue reading And it all goes to shit
United behind the Students’ Union
I care about the Students’ Union and what they do for my university experience. Four years of working here at the newspaper has let me closely watch the SU and each team of executives. I strongly believe that the SU does an effective job. Yes, I like criticizing them as much as possible to keep… Continue reading United behind the Students’ Union
Spun: Zachary Lucky
You’ll have a pretty good idea of what you are getting into from the title of this album, but don’t underestimate it. This isn’t just another sappy harrowing of worn love ballads. While this isn’t an album to reach for when you want an upbeat, get-the-day-started groove, it is great for a quiet, introverted, moody… Continue reading Spun: Zachary Lucky
Mould in clubs space declared non-issue
The business clubs trailer attached to the first floor of Scurfield Hall has undergone a test confirming that while there is mould growing, it remains at safe levels for students to be in there until the new business clubs space is officially open in December on the fourth floor of Scurfield Hall. SU vice-president operations… Continue reading Mould in clubs space declared non-issue
Spun: Little Miss Higgins & The Winnipeg Five
If you think Corb Lund is catchy, you might want to try Little Miss Higgins & The Winnipeg Five. I thoroughly enjoyed the authentic country blues sound of Bison Ranch Recording Sessions, the fifth album from Little Miss Higgins — also known as Jolene Higgins — who has been recording since 2005. She is joined… Continue reading Spun: Little Miss Higgins & The Winnipeg Five
Student hospitalized from too much school spirit
Orientation Week 2013 has already claimed its first victim. First-year nursing student Sarah Beth Duncan was hospitalized Wednesday after suffering too much school spirit. The new student was taking part in orientation week activities when she collapsed and started seizing late Wednesday afternoon, after meeting the Students’ Union. Duncan was rushed to the Foothills Hospital,… Continue reading Student hospitalized from too much school spirit
Spun: Skydiggers
The picture of the grain elevator on the album art drew me in and the nine tracks of Skydiggers’s new album No.1 Northern did not disappoint. I had never heard of Skydiggers before, but their latest album celebrates 25 years together and pays tribute to great Canadian songwriters like Ron Sexsmith, Neil Young and Gordon… Continue reading Spun: Skydiggers
Spun: Dustin Bentall and the Smokes
My first reaction to this album was “meh.” It didn’t grab me. But I kept listening to it and while I’m not about to proclaim You Are An Island as my next favourite album, it did grow on me and I soon found myself humming along with the songs. You Are An Island is… Continue reading Spun: Dustin Bentall and the Smokes
Recording studio has big dreams
Fifteen minutes east of Calgary, down a long gravel road is a big red house. There aren’t any signs explaining why the building is there or what its purpose is. Passersby may wonder which Calgary oil tycoon may live there, not guessing that inside the red walls is hidden a half million dollars worth of… Continue reading Recording studio has big dreams
