Editor, the Gauntlet, Re: “Choice vs. Life,” Mar. 24, 2005, In the last edition of the Gauntlet, U of C Vice-President Roman Cooney claimed that “no students were banned” from university grounds during last week’s Campus Pro-Life event. For those who are interested, here’s what really happened: Campus Security followed our postering group, tearing down… Continue reading CPL actually ejected

The right to die in peace
By Greg Ellis
As the heavily fortified walls of the U.S. Republican theocracy are attacked by those overseeing Terry Schiavo, it is very difficult to examine such a volatile moral issue. When only 36 per cent of Americans have living wills and over 15,000 are currently in persistent vegetative states it is surprising that cases such as Schiavo’s… Continue reading The right to die in peace
The Quebecois revolution
By Ben Hoffman
Completely out of left field and totally unexpectedly, the Liberal government of Quebec has followed the example of its Parti Quebecois predecessor and hung Quebec universities out to dry. The recent news of a $103 million cut from its bursary program surprises absolutely nobody. After all, this raises the total cuts to $300 million in… Continue reading The Quebecois revolution
Photography 101: Capturing Motion
By Anna Chan
There are three main ways to capture motion: freezing motion, motion blur and panning. What you end up with depends mainly on the shutter speed the image is taken at. Another factor is the distance of the moving object. For demonstrative purposes, I set up a makeshift ramp with a ball. As the photo is… Continue reading Photography 101: Capturing Motion
decorating The Modern Primative
When it comes to jewelry, a simple string of pearls or a classic pair of diamond studs just doesn’t cut it anymore. That is, not unless they are imbedded in the bead of your 1/2″, 10 gauge nipple barbells. From the girl in front of you with the navel barbell inspired by her favourite Britney… Continue reading decorating The Modern Primative

Dinos question unfair
Editor, the Gauntlet, Re: “Support Dinos,” Mar. 3, 2005, While I appreciate the value of Dinos Athletics, I respectfully disagree with Mr. Wayne Thomas that the referendum question was a “positive step for the whole campus.” Allow me to clarify. I believe it’s a good thing that our Dinos are getting the support they need.… Continue reading Dinos question unfair
SU View not SU’s actual view
By Jen Smith
Editor, the Gauntlet, Re: “Gauntlet unaccountable,” Mar. 17, 2005, I think that last week’s SU View, labeled “Gauntlet unaccountable,” by [SU Vice-President Opera-tions and Finance] Greg Clayton should be retracted. It might be fine as a personal letter by Greg to the editor, but the SU View is supposed to be, well, the SU’s view,… Continue reading SU View not SU’s actual view
The cancer conundrum
By Ben Hoffman
Cancer. For many, just the word dredges up horrible memories of those lost and their painful departure. It is mankind’s omnipresent enemy, for long before we ever had a word for it, it was simply “natural causes.” Therein lies the rub–it’s hard to combat a disease nature herself controls. And yet in recent times studying… Continue reading The cancer conundrum
