i laugh at the texts too!! i had the urge to go text a emo msg or some really creepy one so for the heck of it.. but yeah.. never got around to do it.. the thank you and screw you section is something i look at.. it's nice to see someone wanting to screw exactly the same thing you had in mind.. it makes my day.. :shade:
The texts used to be good, but theres a reason they had to move that section to the back of the Peak...because no one was sending any in. Most of the text messages now are fabricated by the Peak members themselves.
The only section I really like is when they ask a question and see what people think about it. It's nice to be able to recognize some of those people in the halls from time to time...makes SFU a little more "real"
[QUOTE] At least moderate Muslims would sit down and chat with me reasonably while ALL Scientologists will be asking "What are (my) crimes?" and snap my pictures to Fair Game my ass if I criticize their "religion."
im sure theres such things as moderate scientologists...you can just pick moderate to make points, you should be using the typical ;)
What the hell is up with the "features". I was at SFU a few days ago and picked up this Peak that everyone is talking about. It has a giant bee on the cover and a full 2-3 page article about .. bees. I thought for a second that this must be some sort of analogy to students, or perhaps an article about the number of students getting "B's". Nope. Wrong. It really is an article about bees. As an SFU student, I don't care about bees. How are bees possibly related to my university experience or my life as a student? If I wanted to read about bees, I'd go to the library and pick up a book on bees, or I'd go to Wikipedia and read to my heart's content.
I almost wouldn't mind so much that they included this in the paper if it were some small article confined to no more than half a page. But no. Bees are the feature. I'm supposed to be walking down the hall and see the peak with a picture of a fucking bee on it and think "oh wow, I always wanted to read about bees", then grab a paper. They could have chosen almost any other article in the paper to be a "feature" and it would have been ten times more interesting. For example, a cover featuring "The Last Stand of Free Speech", or "Give Scientologists a Break", or "Nobody Cares About Your Blog" (even though I personally hate that guy's articles) would have been much more enticing.
edit: Oh, and one more thing. This bee article is taking up 3 pages of prime newspaper space. I would much rather it be filled with something even the slightest bit relevant to SFU students. Hell, even some descriptive poetry detailing the unique grey tones in the cement steps near the bus loop would be preferable to a 3 page article on fucking honeybees.
Damn, that felt good. Maybe I should send that to the "Features" editor.
The Peak should write more articles that are more SFU related. For example, Ether made a great point by stating that the "Bee" article is totally unrelated to our SFU experience and should not have three pages dedicated to it.
