Football flattens Waterloo

A raucous Homecoming game crowd of 10,452 braved the cold weather to witness the Golden Gaels football team put on a show. The Gaels demolished the Waterloo Warriors 45-0 while limiting them to only 54 yards on offence in a defensive masterpiece. Gaels running back Mike Giffin ran for 193 yards and cemented his name among the top rushers in Queen’s history with his seventh game of the season with more than 100 rushing yards, a new Queen’s record. He also eclipsed the all-time single-season rushing record of 937 yards set by Brad Elberg in 1992.

Students raise Code of Conduct concerns

Poor attendance at last night’s Town Hall meeting didn’t stop concerned students from asking questions about proposed changes to the Code of Conduct. About 30 students were in attendance at the meeting, which was held in the Lower Ceilidh of the JDUC and organized by the Student Senators’ Caucus.

Queen’s graduate documents Aberdeen Street party

It’s arguably the most talked-about university street party in Ontario. Now, the phenomenon that is the annual Aberdeen Street party will be immortalized on film. Colin Sharp, ArtSci ’05, spent Homecoming in Kingston along with Brianne Perez, ArtSci ’05, and 10 volunteers wielding four cameras, filming footage for Aberdeen Street, a documentary film he’s directing about the party and its effect on the Queen’s and Kingston community.

Gore’s efforts aren’t Nobel enough

Although climate change as a world issue is deserving of the attention this will bring it, the inconvenient truth about this award is simple: Gore wasn’t the worthiest candidate and the award should have gone to a real advocate for change—not an environmental celebrity.

Opinions

Aberdeen reputation unwarranted

For me, this weekend’s Aberdeen Street party was like the Mona Lisa. Not because it was priceless or ugly or surrounded by a heavy police presence, but because of its legend.

Rugby romps to win over Western

Backed by a crowd of cheering fans and determined to prove that last week’s loss to Brock was just a blip on the radar, the men’s rugby team beat the University of Western Ontario 16-13. Saturday’s game was a heated one; Queen’s hadn’t beaten Western since the 2001 OUA final.

Tapping into bottled water concerns

Soda has been banned in many schools because of the effects these sugary, caffeinated drinks have on children’s health. Since July when San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom banned bottled water from city departments and all city functions, it looks like that’s the next beverage to go. But what could be wrong with a bottle of pure and refreshing H2O?
