I would like to add to this article that international undergraduate students in Applied Science were also contacted about a presentation and a discussion about the international student fees on March 16, the same day as the forum for Arts and Science.
An e-mail was sent out to inform us of the forum on March 5, which was ironically the same day as the Board of Trustees’ meeting, which, according to Ms. Knitter in this article, is where the fee increase was approved.
It is Tuesday, May 11, 2004. I have finished my fourth and final year at Queen’s and at this very moment, I still don’t know what I’m going to be doing with the rest of my life.
It ain’t easy to be a country girl sometimes. I’m from Watford, a little community in southwestern Ontario fettered by neither stoplight nor strip mall. My high school had fewer than 300 students and my teenage social life consisted of crop tours and shed parties.
The end is in sight. The countdown clock is ticking loudly. Spring, albeit with a detour or two, is finally here. Just as we have the least time to enjoy it, Kingston becomes beautiful. For those of us about to be certified, the uncertainty of the unknown looms, even for those confident in their future plans for work, school or gallivanting.
Lately I’ve been thinking about all of the support staff that makes this University run smoothly. Professors receive recognition and respect, but what about everyone else?
In response to Peter Jaworski and Chris Watt’s Features article “Warning: Scaring the Life out of Smokers,” I question the degree of concern many Queen’s students have for their own long-term health. It is disheartening for me to see people making a joke out of cigarette warning labels which represent the truth about the addiction, truths that may personally affect many Queen’s students in years to come.
One year ago, Stockwell Day was on top of the world. He had just been elected leader of the re-born Canadian Reform/ Alliance party, was riding high in the polls, and things looked bright for the future of the Alliance. What a difference a year makes.
Hi. My name is Lorie and I wanted to ask you how you can be so rude about certain movies. Save The Last Dance was really, really good. In fact, it is my new favourite movie.
You may not have liked it because you aren’t young enough, but I know my grandmother loved it too.
After I saw it, I was really glad I was going dancing. That movie gave me a lot of energy and I was glad it was created. It had good actresses and actors in it.
The question still stands. Why march? In the past few weeks Pride Parades have been held in various cities, including Kingston.
This is a warning—keep your doors locked. With the weather getting warmer people are inclined to leave their doors and windows open but take my advice and don’t take the risk.
Last week on William Street there was more than one attempted break-in.
Fortunately the thieves were foiled by a neighbour who noticed some sketchy looking characters peering in the windows of a house. She bravely confronted them and chased them down the street. I would like to congratulate her for her courage.
For current Queen’s students, and staff, convocation is a time to celebrate the accomplishments of our graduates and to wish them well as they embark on a new stage in their lives.
Last November, the Senate Orientation Activities Review Board (SOARB) posed several questions to members of the Queen’s community on the future of Orientation. Whose interests does Orientation serve? What is the meaning of and what are the implications for ‘student-run’ Orientation?
Yes, tobacco is harmful, but that doesn’t give legislators an excuse to get tunnel vision and lose sight of the big picture; and it doesn’t give the general public the right to take conclusions on faith.
I’d like to register my amazement and awe at Natalia Diaz’s “Infotainment” editorial in your Sept. 26 issue. You’ve finally done it: you’ve printed an article that makes such a huge amount of no sense that it borders on the surreal.
Last Monday, political observers, commentators and everyday Canadians across the country welcomed Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day and Tory poobah Joe Clark into parliament.
Much like the wily unicorn, it certainly seems that a coherent Pro-choice argument is hard to come by these days. Anyone who doubts this need look no further than last Friday’s edition of The Journal.
Stephanie Earp argues that restrictions on abortion would leave a generation of children with thousands of bitter, resentful parents who lack the urge to properly care for them. Perhaps Ms. Earp has conveniently forgotten the hundreds of thousands of would-be Canadian parents who are eagerly awaiting their chance at an adoption.
Woman. Girl. Female anatomy for the time being. And not just that, but a female anatomy sitting at the tender age of twenty …
Although I am sure you will receive numerous responses to Chris Dainton’s Op-Ed piece, I felt compelled to add my voice as well. Dainton tries to draw a connection between legal abortion and the incidents of young women killing their newborns, but in this he fails.
I regret that summer is over, not because the weather will be getting colder, but because Queen’s students have returned to Kingston.
To my fellow students, On behalf of Sci ’03, I would like to apologize for the silly and embarassing mistake of leaving the grease pole out in the open.
We, as a year, now recognize the error of our ways, and understand the consequences that could have occured because of our irresponsible actions.
