Clubs Grief
Editor, the Gauntlet,The following quotation was taken from a memorandum posted in the window of the office of Greg Hovdebo, the Students’ Union Club Committee Chair: "Clubs who did not get office space are asked to only send one delegate to speak to myself or Erin.

Inna gadda da vida
By Kyle Young
A little-known pet project of the Philosophy Department was violently thrust into the spotlight this week. It was leaked that the department is attempting to procure the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The tree is best known for its pivotal role in mankind’s banishment from the Garden of Eden. According to one source,… Continue reading Inna gadda da vida
Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind
By Natalie Sit
For some Calgarians, election campaign signs are just flashes of colour on the drive home. “A civic election,” they think, “hmm, interesting.” The plethora of billboards, lawn signs and banners mean little to them, and under-standably so. However, for the first time in a long while, Al Duerr is not running, ending his 12-year tenure… Continue reading Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind

Seven classmates wander into an establishment, the bags under their eyes blue and swollen from studying the night before the exam until the wee hours of the morning. They are not greeted by any host or service person, or even a sign. Instead, rows of tables, each surrounded by four uncomfortable looking plastic chairs, stand… Continue reading Slow service dies even slower death
Contract sparks U of C nancy-boy exodus
The University of Calgary sent shockwaves across the nation Wednesday by announcing they have signed an exclusivity contract with Conservatism, in exchange for an undisclosed sum. Such a deal–tying a public institution to a specific political ideology in exchange for cash–is unprecedented in Canada.

For Shame, Mclame’s
I have a bone to pick with Maclean’s magazine and their university issue. It has nothing to do with their slagging of the University of Calgary yet again. I actually agree that I attend a poorly run, second-rate institution. No, my beef is with their evaluation of student life. They clearly did not do their… Continue reading For Shame, Mclame’s
Out to pasture, but still giving thanks
It’s been fun–seriously, it has. Even though you see me running around all stressed out, and even though I curse, yell and threaten all of you, it’s been a blast. Gauntlet sports editor is the funnest (is funnest a word?) job on campus because of you. Not you, the reader. I like you too, but… Continue reading Out to pasture, but still giving thanks
