  • Getting involved on campus helps you succeed and help others at the same time

    By March 7, 2013

    Every year campus clubs set up booths in Place Riel to recruit new members, positions open up in the University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union and college student unions, and other organizations and the many centres on campus seek volunteers. Joining a campus club, running for a student union position or helping out at a centre are just some of the numerous ways for students to get involved in campus, but often students forgo these opportunities.

  • Constructive criticism: bad timing for school of architecture

    By March 6, 2013

    The university is spending much of March hosting discussions on a possible architecture program at the school. Isn’t it great that the U of S can still explore new options for colleges and programs while there’s a projected deficit of $44.5 million by 2016 and as the health sciences building is being “scaled back”? Give me a break.

  • Why we need We Day

    By March 1, 2013

    Over 216,000 prisoners were raped in U.S. prisons in 2008. Inmates live their lives under constant monitoring, and yet they are more likely to be raped than the general population. What’s funny about that?

  • There’s nothing to fear about failure

    By February 28, 2013

    Fear of failure is rampant at universities. There is a clearly defined line between success and failure, and it is measured in grade-point averages. Believing high grades are vital achievements, students strive single-mindedly to obtain them.

  • We have unparalleled access to information and we’re using it all wrong

    By February 14, 2013

    Every time I go online, it’s not long before I’m lured away from whatever I’m looking for by the siren call of the the Internet’s more frenetic side. You know the sites. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Pinterest — the usual suspects. They rear their heads anytime you’re trying to actually get things done.

  • What is everlasting love?

    By February 14, 2013

    The Beatles sang “All You Need is Love,” but what is love, anyway? Trying to pin down what exactly it is and why we feel it is no easy task.
