All right, I’ll admit it. I live with my parents.
Many students, upon hearing this, will look at you as though you are a poor excuse of a student and pathetic for taking advantage of the free rent and food offered by loving parents. Living with one’s parents has its pros and cons but right now the pros far outweigh the cons. Until that changes, my parents’ crib is where I’ll be staying.

Vern Thiessen’s Vimy is the first show of the season for the local non-profit theatre organization Live Five, telling the story of a nurse tending four wounded Canadian soldiers recovering at a field hospital during the First World War. It is directed by Natasha Martina and stars many current and former U of S drama students.
While the play is built around the themes, symbols and actions of the First World War, it is not a play explicitly about war.

Both the Green Party of Saskatchewan the Saskatchewan Liberal Party failed to capture a seat on Nov. 7.
This election seemed to mark the death throes of the once-mighty provincial Liberals. Six of the first nine premiers of Saskatchewan were Liberals but the party has been in long-term decline since the 1970s and only ran nine candidates this year. Much of the party’s support now rests with the centre-right Sask. Party.

A quick nap nearly cost the Huskies men’s hockey team their second loss of the season this past weekend at Rutherford Rink.
Although they did come out with a 5-4 overtime win and 2-1 victory against the Manitoba Bisons on Nov. 4 and 5, respectively, the Bisons’ strong attack forced Saskatchewan to stay on its toes.
