Dino Cup filled with failure
Four teams, three days, one winner. Another Husky Dino Cup has come and gone, and with it a multitude of “what ifs,” inevitable words of frustration and the gut-wrenching sensation you get when things don’t go your way. The 17th annual Dino Cup was promising, but ended in utter failure for the Dinos men’s volleyball… Continue reading Dino Cup filled with failure
Surface tension
From above, swimmers glide effortlessly through the water, coaches casually stroll the deck and a quiet surface tranquility surrounds the University of Calgary pool. From beneath, strokes are focused, driven and exceedingly challenging. An Olympic year has surfaced and its imminence radiates an energy felt by all members of the U of C swim team.… Continue reading Surface tension
Like Wrestlemania, only more serious
By Josh Johnson
Snow has overtaken Calgary. There is not an inch of the city not covered by the white stuff. To say the downfall was a surprise would be stating the obvious considering the fantastic weather we’ve had for the past month or so. In much the same way, the University of Calgary wrestling squad was looking… Continue reading Like Wrestlemania, only more serious
Clan drags football Dinos out of playoff contention
By Todd Penney
I was walking around the Gauntlet office Monday, just after seeing the Dinos-Simon Fraser University Clan football game review laying beside the obituaries section of a local paper.

By Russ Dyck
The Dinos women’s soccer team took a trip to the West Coast this past weekend to finish off their 2003 season. The coast is usually known for warmer weather, trees and a history of good soccer sides, but the Dinos showed they came to compete. The women soccersaurs first traveled to Victoria Thu., Oct. 23… Continue reading Another loss… and I need a new thesaurus
A closer look
Three weeks ago, I penned a column for the Gauntlet suggesting feminists need to stop pursuing petty projects here in Canada and export feminism to the rest of the world, where it is desperately needed. The part of the article that caught the attention of a lot of readers was the opinion that a women’s… Continue reading A closer look
Dealing with dichotomy
Where does one draw the line when making a decision about the character of an individual in the public eye? In the so-called ‘information age’ where one can find out anything about anyone, how does the public decide what to take into account when evaluating someone for a political position, or when determining their merit… Continue reading Dealing with dichotomy
