In 1984, I was four years old. The bulk of my memories from that time are sketchy at best, but the one that stands out most distinctly bears the stench of a cancer ward and the loss of a loved one. My grandfather, Gordon Alexander Bailey, died of bowel cancer. He was 73. By 1991,… Continue reading Beautiful, beneficial and bald

Call this democracy?
As a billow of white smoke rose from the secluded Gauntlet offices on the third floor of MacEwan Student Centre, a writ was put forward by the electorate: democracy doesn’t work. Moments after taking off his make-shift newspaper robe and Pope-inspired Mitre Hat, Editor-in-Chief candidate and son of the Dean of Communication and Culture, Rob… Continue reading Call this democracy?

Club Culture
By Kyle Young
By the time we’d reached the entrance to the club we were already an hour behind our timetable. This was bad, since our escape route depended on a well-timed rendezvous with an accomplice in an SUV.

Editor, the Gauntlet:
Irene Enyedy’s letter appalled me.

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.
