A 20-year-old female University of Saskatchewan student was sexually assaulted in a residence during the early morning hours of Jan. 1. The incident supposedly took place at the McEown Park towers off Cumberland Avenue.
It is not yet clear why information about the assault was delayed. The U of S Campus Safety statistics page, at present, still shows zero cases of sexual assault for 2012.

Tyler, the Creator and his cohorts have taken over The Internet.
That’s the name of the newest project to come from hip-hop collective Odd Future and Purple Naked Ladies marks the first album to be officially released under their own record label. It is a collaboration between two of the gang’s producers, Syd Tha Kid and Matt Martians. Martians is also a member of producing duo The Jet Age of Tomorrow who have released two free mixtapes of primarily instrumentals. Still, this is really the first time that these two members have taken a more primary role in the group.

The University of Saskatchewan has a long and obscure history with mental health research. In the ’60s, professors Humphry Osmond, Abram Hoffer and Duncan Blewett used LSD therapy on both themselves and their patients to produce groundbreaking research and discoveries into the nature of mental illness and addiction before the drug was criminalized in 1969.
The film was introduced by the history department’s Erika Dyck, a major consultant on the film who helped ensure its accuracy. After the film ended she led a discussion on the content of the documentary, and later met with the Sheaf to discuss her own work in more detail.

A new University of Saskatchewan report shows that money is not the most significant factor in the accessibility of post-secondary education.
The Accessibility and Affordability Report says that children from low-income families, rural communities, aboriginals and people with disabilities are less likely to attend a post-secondary school. But it also states the importance parents’ backgrounds play in their children’s future. The reasoning, according to the study, is that “having parents with post-secondary education creates a culture within the home that values higher education.”

Some plays are so insightful, so vivid and so entertaining that they demand to be turned into films. Or so some producers must think. Unfortunately, what works in the theatre may not always work in the cinema.
Such is the case with Carnage. I suspect the Tony Award-winning play by Yasmina Reza may be far more hard-hitting and hilarious than its cinematic counterpart. Nevertheless, while it may not be as vicious as it tries to be, Roman Polanski’s Carnage has enough dark humour and mischievousness to make up for whatever was lost in translation.

There are a lot of myths and misinformation about sex. But think about it guys: did you ever get those hairy palms you were promised? In reality, sex is the answer to many of our problems, helping with mental health, body issues and confidence. It’s time to debunk the rumours and go deep under the sheets.
Sex is healthy and natural; it may be condemned by some because it’s not always within a marriage, but 79 per cent of you are already doing the deed so you might as well do it for the right reasons. But if you’re not doing it, don’t feel pressured. I only want to offer some things to remember so that when you do start, you can have an excuse to do it whenever or for whatever reason.
