the self-important idiots that write for the gazette stun me again with their ignorance. i am curious how many of them live off of osap. i am also curious how many of them question what, exactly, the purpose of higher education is meant to be. i am also curious as to how many of these gazette

Oh, right. Sure. Those less advantaged students from working class backgrounds should just get off their butts and get a part-time job. That's what higher education is all about, right? Learning how to juggle advanced/intensive academic study with a job? Exactly. I'll bet those farmers' kids could really use that kind of a lesson, eh?

Indeed. There's plenty of debate-stifling happening elsewhere in our society. PLENTY. We have to protect, uphold, and advance institutions of higher learning as bastions of free speech and expression. Let the debate continue -- and the truth will emerge. Whenever someone opposes free speech and expression, it's nearly always because they have something to hide

I think what Andrew and the 4 other students are doing across our province is really important. They are demonstrating one of the flaws of the OSAP system in a very public way. Too many students are dependent on OSAP, but because of the clawback, can't work to supplement the loan money and are stuck

The Good James Duthie — Duthie has proven throughout the Olympics he can do more than just his regular shtick of moderating the assorted jocks and goons TSN assembles for its hockey coverage. Duthie was natural, eloquent and, at times, humourous while serving as the co-host of Olympic Daytime. Early ... (more)
Hey, Chile. Thanks a lot. You couldn’t have picked a more inconvenient time to have a natural disaster. Come on, who decides to get hit by a quake during the Olympics? The Olympics! Didn’t you know the whole world would be distracted? Not to mention you’ve copied Haiti, minus the massive death ... (more)
I’m no elitist, but Western desperately needs to stiffen its admission standards. With first-year entrance grades averaging at 87 per cent, you’d expect Western students would be, by-and-large, an intelligent crowd. Not so. A walk through campus will quickly disillusion anyone who ever pictured university as an exclusive academic institution, full of only ... (more)
Another election has come and gone, and nothing has changed. For the position of University Students’ Council president, this year’s field featured six candidates, with academic backgrounds covering the spectrum. A spectrum, however, that did not include anything from science or engineering. The microcosm that is our campus is unfortunately representative of ... (more)
Pets and selfish people should not be paired up. I witnessed this abomination when I was in Toronto recently. With the snow flying, an extreme wind chill and a freezing –10 C temperature, a friend and I decided to step into Starbucks to grab a coffee and defrost our faces. Unfortunately, a ... (more)
My friend’s friend is running for University Students’ Council president. I might as well vote for them, right? It’s no secret many students have no interest or aren’t “in-the-loop” when it comes to the USC. Recently, I was talking to a media, information and technoculture student about the gimmicks used throughout ... (more)
The meals for $3 (MF3) proposal — one of USC presidential candidate Marshall Goldfarb’s platform points — reminds me of my passion for Jessica Biel. It’s nothing more than a fantasy. Hurdle 1: The Western/USC Lease Agreement One of the perks of owning a university is the ability to create contracts with ... (more)
Tragedy, it seems, has become a significant part of what media outlets deem newsworthy. Such is the case with earthquake-ridden Haiti, or tsunami-laden Indonesia. According to most major news sources, an estimated 200,000 people are dead following the 7.0 magnitude earthquake in the Caribbean island, and it’s no wonder it has ... (more)
I'm pretty sure everyone is thinking it, so I'll just go ahead and say it: kids these days are idiots. This is probably an opinion adopted by many people as they age, and it probably won't be long until I start telling you to get off my lawn. But before I ... (more)
The University Students’ Council wants a new website and they don’t want to pay a penny for it. They’re asking students to design websites and graphics for free. What does the lucky winner get? A gift basket, a reference letter and an honourarium. The whole thing is disguised as a contest. But ... (more)
