I just wanted to give props to Neil Janowitz and Tony Terradas for last week's "Ms. Ogyny" comic. That crap is so funny you should syndicate it!-Aaron Severs x42914

Students have used the tunnels at the River Campus since they were first built in 1927. In the first years of the tunnels' use, freshmen were consigned by sophomores to use the tunnels for all of their on-campus travel - even in clement weather. Since then, all students have used the tunnels to avoid inclement […]

After reading the article on the shrinking Hoyt tunnel, I had to recheck the date to make sure it wasn't an April Fools piece. I loved it!There is, however, at least one problem with the analysis. At some point, say, 800 years from now, the tunnel will be too narrow for a student to fit […]

The Pan African Expo is a show that the Black Students' Union performs every year as a culmination of Black History Month. It has been a part of the UR community since the 1970s and in the past has brought many prominent speakers to address the university. Since 2001 the format has changed, with a […]

Anyone who has ever bashed Canada clearly hasn't heard the Barenaked Ladies, an upbeat Canadian pop group. Since forming in Toronto in 1988, the group has sold 10 million records worldwide and has released eight albums along with a "best hits" album.

His rapid departure came with the assistance of American, French and international pressure.Aristide was not a great president. He started out that way, and was a brave social reformer during the "Baby […]

I don't like Nelly Furtado. I hate "I'm Like a Bird" and "Turn Off the Light" with a passion. I cringe every time one of her songs comes on the radio and immediately change the station.When I found Furtado's CD, "Folklore," in the Campus Times office, I casually picked it up and threw it in […]

Inevitably, college students experiment at some point with something they have not tried before, occasionally with illegal or controlled substances such as marijuana or alcohol. Disciplinary processes should exist to aid in educating students about drug use, rather than to simply punish students without regard to changing future behavior. A new program, the Second Chance […]

It has been five years since there has been an increase in the Student Activities fee. While many are pleased that no increases have been instituted in the recent past, inflation and increased student participation in activities demand the Students' Association Senate's measure to modestly increase the fee. When the senate last attempted to raise […]
