It is strange that the third annual Ralph Klein Pub Crawl coincides with our Premier’s third term in office. Three is a wacky number, and King Ralph is a wacky character. It seems like he bought his good fortune over-the-counter; kept the planets aligned with a strange mixture of sorcery, alchemy and booze. Sometimes, it… Continue reading Ralph Klein Pub Crawl

An angry tirade from the Chief
This is no goodbye note. This is a lashing out–essentially a giant fuck you.Yep, that’s right, your 2001/02 Gauntlet Editor-in-Chief has nothing to say to everybody else out there and will reserve this space for a message to his staff: Take your wussie-shit sunshine goodbye sentiments and shove ’em. This year has been perfectly atrocious… Continue reading An angry tirade from the Chief
Track and Field
Talent: A-From sprinters to throwers, distance runners to jumpers, the 2001/02 chapter of Dinos track and field proved to the country that they can trade punches with anyone. Be it Canada West Athlete of the Year Samantha Anderson who placed second-and should’ve won the whole damn thing-in the CIS pentathlon, or Darren Clarke who played… Continue reading Track and Field
Beer Supplement Introduction
I guarantee that this supplement was not an excuse to drink beer. Honest.It actually started with curiosity–an intrigue with the substance that so many of us (over)indulge in during our university years and beyond. And I’m willing to bet you’re curious too. I could be wrong. Maybe you’re too damn busy swigging Molson product to… Continue reading Beer Supplement Introduction

There is a reason why these areas are also referred to as the "private parts." That is because most people, including myself, don’t want to see… Continue reading Re: “Puppets from down under,” March 7, 2002,
Letter Re: “Parading idiots and babbling fools,”
By Duncan Embry
Editor, the Gauntlet,Re: "Parading idiots and babbling fools," Jan. 31, 2002,It’s hard to believe that in a society that has struggled to maintain equality among the sexes, there are still individuals who are working hard to undermine their gender. The simplicity and flagrant generalizations that run rampant though this article prove that not all university… Continue reading Letter Re: “Parading idiots and babbling fools,”
SU commissioners’ renumeration
By Robbie White
Editor, the Gauntlet,Re: "When a ‘thank you’ isn’t enough," Jan. 24, 2002,Recently some of my fellow commissioners expressed concern about our remuneration process. This bothers me, I feel our time should be focused more towards student concerns. Mr. Vuckovic thinks the general feeling among commissioners is that this process needs to be reformed. I do… Continue reading SU commissioners’ renumeration
