Western Seperatism won’t fly
By Peter Schaub
Re: “A Separate Future?,” Nov. 14, 2002. Thank you for the interesting piece on Western Separatism. One thing that alarms me is that for the most part, those in Alberta taking up the separatist cause are using it as a vehicle to promote a kind of extreme right-wing reactionism that makes Rush Limbaugh look like… Continue reading Western Seperatism won’t fly

IB scholarships reward circumstance
By Вen Li
Critics of the university’s plan to award exclusive entrance scholarships to International Baccalaureate graduates say the plan will turn the U of C into an elitist institution. They are wrong. It doesn’t take an IB student to realize that bribing individuals whose academic decisions are so easily swayed by financial considerations is not the best… Continue reading IB scholarships reward circumstance
What is Victoria’s Secret?
Do you want to know what Victoria’s secret is? Women who have real lives cannot wear the so-called lingerie that the supermodels of the Victoria’s Secret 2002 fashion show parade in. If a woman’s occupation requires anything from a T-shirt to a pair of pants, she may have some issues wearing these seductive undergarments. If… Continue reading What is Victoria’s Secret?
