The U-Pass: incentive to follow the law

With the U-Pass not yet in effect, people are already jumping the gun and crying about how unfair it all is. Our tuition fees, it is argued, grew because of it. Our pockets pay the price, they say.

Letter to the Editor: GSA agendas marginalize the non-religious

I am writing in regards to the Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) agendas which are currently being distributed for the 2010-2011 academic year to graduate students at Carleton. I would like to register my disappointment with GSA, and the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS), for what I consider to be a blatant disregard of my freedom of religion.
