Next week (April 25), UBC will be holding a public...
Apr 2	Dear CUPE 2278: This is an open letter to TAs and the UBC community about the looming strike by CUPE2278, UBC’s TA union.

Apr 26	Office University 2010: Why Didn’t I Know About This?!?!: Microsoft Office University 2010 Why didn’t I know about this until this morning?!?!

Apr 24	Finished My Application For Hoarders: So I found out this morning that I’m going to be transferring rooms to a different building in Marine Drive Residence tomorrow morning.

Apr 26	Those 11 days between Term 2 and a Go Global summer trip: In the middle of the hustle and bustle of packing my dormitory belongings yesterday, I paused and took a look at my beautiful (but I’m biased) plant, Dionysus.

Because they’re all alcoholics...
Jan 27	The Dreamhorse: So, we’ve already drooled over and endorsed Tagg Jefferson, but in the bar the other day he showed us this photo that his “roommate” made to describe him. Since Issues That Matter deemed him a “Dark Horse” and we deemed him a “Dreamboat” this is the, uh…well, The Dreamhorse. This post was writte...

The Bald Truth
