  • Art Unsworth fights for popcorn: Huskies fan of the year never misses sons’ games

    By February 9, 2012

    Art Unsworth visited 11 grocery stores before the University of Saskatchewan Huskies’ basketball games on Jan. 28. He was searching for white cheddar popcorn flavouring. The specific flavouring combined with a few perfected topping techniques — grape seed oil — are part of Unsworth’s fight to bring popcorn back into the University of Saskatchewan’s Physical Activity Complex.

    Of course, handing out popcorn isn’t the only reason why the Dogs alumnus — he played for the university in 1972-73 — and reigning Huskies fan of the year has attended nearly every Huskies basketball game for the last seven years. His youngest son, Chris, is a fifth-year forward with the Dogs and his eldest, Clint, graduated from the team two years ago.

  • Campus sustainability: U of S ranks as one of the least environmentally friendly universities in Canada

    By February 8, 2012

    The word “sustainable” is seemingly everywhere. It gets a lot of use by corporations to make their products seem more Earth-friendly than they really are, leaving consumers with a somewhat fuzzy idea of what the word means; is it really better for the environment or simply an attempt to jump on the green bandwagon?

    For the University of Saskatchewan’s Office of Sustainability, the former seems to be the case. The U of S has been increasing commitments to making the campus more environmentally friendly, and the Office of Sustainability plays a large role in that.

  • Daniel Radcliffe horror film The Woman in Black is a return to classic horror

  • Quiet dignitary or needy best friend: why cats are better pets than dogs

    By February 8, 2012

    We are told from a young age that dogs are “man’s best friend.” This is hardly true. A real best friend challenges your decisions and criticizes you when you’re being an idiot. But dogs act more like “man’s desperate sidekick” — they are the Milhouse to your Bart.

    Dogs seem to beg their owners, “Do you have a best friend yet? ’Cause I’ve been looking for someone to boss me around.” Winston Churchill was right when he said that dogs look up to us while cats look down on us. So people who want to be worshipped get a dog. People who want to grow and learn to deal with a sovereign creature will get a cat.
