News flash: "newsflash" is properly two words, colons never introduce lists, unless it's through an independent clause (i.e. where you could logically end a sentence with a period), and apostrophes can also be used for contractions (you probably knew that though :wink:) :angel:
I knew about "news flash" (I always seem to do that, I have to look out for that.) My Canadian Writer's Handbook did not mention that rule, just that it is used to introduce list. However, several websites confirm the rule, so thanks for pointing it out. I'll definitely remember that.
I actually enjoy knowing I can use the language properly.

Maybe in a hundred years people won't look upon that article with such contempt, because by that time language would have evolved and the improper usage would have become standard :teeth:
If that is indeed the case, I am very glad I won't be around to see it.
the only thing that bothered me was how she broke lululemon into Lulu Lemon.. :angry: if that girl had any cogent fashion sense in the first place.. she wouldn't have spelt that wrong.. or maybe she was trying to be humorous.. crude nonetheless...
More importantly, being a "thug" is not something to aspire to. I would venture a guess that the author never saw someone shot or beaten half to death. It's not pretty, and it would make someone reconsider wearing a fake (even worse) Blood "costume".

I'm confused as to what this "rap culture" shes is embodying is, to me it can be a few things:
The "Thug" mentality, basically, you're like an emo person, with no make up, in fact you don't do anything but go out of your way to wear very baggy clothing. You aim to defy societies predominant views with no real reason, aggression and verbal mockery are your key tools.
The "Get Rich or Die Trying" mentality, where all you care about is materialism and bling, and sex, and partying. This goal is to be accomplished by any means.
The "Get Out of the Ghetto and Oppresion" mentality, where you just want a better life for yourself, from poverty and oppression. This point of view is fair enough, but I doubt she experienced any of this.
:confused: I'm open to anyone else providing any other rationale because I'm stumped. Am I missing anything here important, have I left some view undescribed?
Oh I meant she was trying to call us hoes because she apparently prefers to wear baseball hats and oversize-hoodies.
I think the quality of lululemon has gone down since they started manafacturing in china, they used to have really intricate designs and you can tell a lot of it is mass manafactured now, its a shame. It still beats a lot of other places though :confused:
Their sleeves got 5 inches shorter. I can't buy their hoodies anymore. SADFACE

Lululemon's pants are crap quality. Sure, they're comfy but they pill SO much inbetween the legs. I've had no such problem with my Nikes, no pillage at all. They're bras are pretty damn good though. And the scuba hoodies there are so played out, ugh. I don't mind if people are buying and wearing them for function, but it irks me when girls just buy it to lounge around in.

sadly yes.. their quality nowadays do not deserve the prices they mark now.. it sucks.. =(
More about The Peak in general, I got quite an EPIC LULZ from the two articles regarding the Political Science Department. Thanks Morro and other The Peak crews. From the Lutener article, IRO Fergusson is my new hero and I couldn't agree with him more. Political Science is making a total ass of themselves right now and I wouldn't want to study in that cesspool of a department even if PolSci offer a CGPA 2.0 Guarantee Admission for Graduate Studies.
In terms of Andrew, I have never taken Student politics seriously I voted for the guy simply because he is a history major like me. Honestly, I want Andrew and Natalie, the lovely CFS couple, up their antics even more to the point that everything blew up in their face! I am pretty sure SFSS will continue to function if everything blows up. Afterall, SFSS still hosted wonderful events like Club Days and Pancake Breakfast even in all these debacles.
In terms of the Pub closing in the summer, GREAT! I don't think a pub or a bar should be anywhere near a place of learning anyway. Also, closing for a semester may let the pub sort itself out and to reorganize its menu. Dying restaurants NEVER get this sort of opportunity.
I though Shara Lee was joking when she said that the PolSci department closed graduate admission for the last 6 months because they can't sort out the whole issue with the PolSci chair. Seriously, grow the fuck up. You don't see this sort of things in other departments such as history. Honestly, I didn't even know Prof. Graig was replaced by Prof. Leiner (The Banjo Professor) until I browsed the history website.
As for the reason for the fight, apparently Miss. Lee cited the rumor that some Profs won't work with students because this prof disagrees with the political ideology of the student's last prof. If this is true, please go fuck yourself.
Since the 60s, the PolSci Department was been unstable at best because the Profs there, for some reason, are SUCH extremists... "Ooh, we broke off from Sociology and Anthropology because we don't agree with their political ideology. Now, we all don't agree with the political ideology of the guys next door." Honestly, I really want to see PolSci DIE like Canadian Studies. That should safe us a few hundred thousand dollars
Aren't you aware of the high suicide rates of university students? People need places to RELAX. Honestly, it's not a crime to NOT have a stick up your ass.
The pub does need re-organization, that I can agree with.
The Pub's closing? Their food sucked anyways. They need to get proper yam fries or yam wedges or whatever it was, as long as it's not soggy yam logs. And they honestly need to re-do their menu and renovate the place a little bit. And they couldn't even make Superman shots! Pft.
Hey everyone, I just want to clarify that I got my sources of "Pub's closing for the Summer" is from Robert Lutener's "IRO Fergusson 'incompetent,' a 'failure'".
Though Fergusson’s excuse is that all candidates run on platforms of empty promises, we now face the possibility of having to close the Pub for the summer, due to his incompetence.
While I continue to stand by my conviction that pubs should be nowhere near a place of learning, however, as a food lover, I think closing the pub for the summer is a good idea. Closing for the summer will give the Pub time to get the place sorted out, redo the decor, rework the menu, and have a budget that will break even and possibly earn the pub a profit.
Hehe, I watched too much Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmare.
You can not have a credible university without a pub. The only university in Canada that does not have a pub is fucking Trinity West. I don't know what sort of mutant thought-process could lead somebody to think that it would be a good idea to actually have FEWER social areas on campus than we already do.

The only explanation I can give is that we may have different priorities when it comes to the quality of our post-secondary education. To me, all I wanted from my university is a good learning experience which consists of good programs (that doesn't let just about anybody in), courses (that I can get into), and professor (who knows their shi*).

Exactly, the pub is definitely needed to offset the "prison" atmosphere!
Look, if you guys are so insistant on keeping the pub, at least make better food because a pub won't help offsetting the "prison" atmosphere if the food there taste like "prison food."

i dont understand why theres never huge outdoor parties in the aq during the summer
I have a hard time envisioning a party in that weird looking garden, unless you are into post-modern/ weird for the sake of being weird. Seriously, WTF is with the hill, the enclosed bush, that two rocks in the pod, and that egg shaped thingie?

Part of a quality education is having the ability to unwind, especially for the people who live on campus.

Because they are a pain in the ass to organize if you want to be able to serve booze. The CSSS did one last summer, and it required a liquor license (obviously), but also fences and security to be able to ensure that minors are not in the liquor-serving area (and, of course, the University requires that you use their fences and security, at highly inflated rates).
I'm not entirely sure it was worth it in the long run.
