<p>Amy MacKenzie &#8211; The Aquinian Student union carpool initiative could solve problem Parking Passes at St. Thomas University are $75 a student, but that doesn’t guarantee you a convenient parking spot. A lack of parking spaces and an excess of cars results in regular illegal parking around campus. Ian Leblanc is a student who drives to [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The Aquinian A student jumped out of a second story lounge window in Harrington Hall Saturday night while being chased during a game of sticker tag. He was taken to hospital for x-rays and released later that night. Residence life Director Ryan Sullivan confirmed a student had leapt from the second floor of the building, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I made a trip uptown to the Dollarama the other day and I came across these knock off 5-hour energy jobbies called Rage Shots. I purchased one, brought it home, took a snap off of it. What happened next is the subject of our sequel to weird and wrong. I made my roommate try the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Canadian Television star and vigilante The Littlest Hobo stopped by the legislature to lend a paw to the NB Power Protest. &#8220;He kinda just showed up here,&#8221; one man said &#8220;No one saw where he came from&#8230; or where he went too.&#8221; Organizers were baffled when the Shepherd approached them and asked to join in [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Mary-Dan Johnston is the newest vice-president at the St. Thomas University students&#8217; union. Johnston secured 67 per cent of the votes during the by-election that finished Friday. Of 268 votes, Johnston garnered 180, her opponent, Mitch Messom recieved 80, and eight were spoiled. The election also saw Marylynn Côté elected one of six off -campus [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Hey guys, have you ever heard of the H1N1 virus? Just kidding! I know you&#8217;ve got your shot. I got mine twice, just to be EXTRA sure. Now, I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m super bored of being scared of the swine flu. We need something new, something fresh to worry about.  I&#8217;ve got [&hellip;]</p>

<p>These letters are in reference to the article, ‘An open letter to Halloween Skanks:‘ Dear Bailey, We’ve been friends for a long time. So I was pretty surprised by some of the things you said last week in your letter to “skanks,” as you call them. How is it, Bailey, that you can tell women to [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Matt McCann &#8211; The Aquinian So, can we talk about satire for a minute? Last week, we printed an opinion piece written by Bailey White, about a certain trend in Halloween costumes, and her purported moral outrage with it. A few hours after the newspapers hit the stands on Tuesday morning, the letters started coming, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Suggested listening &#8211; U2 on YouTube If you visited YouTube last Sunday, you might&#8217;ve noticed the screaming banners all over everything, proclaiming U2&#8217;s live free-stream concert in L.A.  It started at 12:30 a.m. our time.  Didn&#8217;t watch it?  Huh.  Can you be blamed? Music is in the shitter.  No one goes to concerts anymore.  The [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Suggested listening &#8211; U2 on YouTube Bono’s first monologue On the Black Eyed Peas: Says they’re &#8220;true pioneers from space&#8221; and “Xena meets Parliament/Funkadelic”.  Oh, I see.  Irrelevant past meets unrealistic future. On the band being in Hollywood: Larry Mullen Jr. is U2’s James Dean.  Adam Clayton is Rhett Butler/Clark Gable because “Frankly, my dear, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Suggested listening &#8211; U2 on YouTube In a Little While &#8211; One of my favourite cuts.  This usually blows my mind live.  Johnny Ramone breathed new life into the band when they discovered this was the last song he listened to.  But Bono’s playing with me, with us.  This is a song of heartbreak; of [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Suggested listening &#8211; U2 on YouTube Vertigo &#8211; “Honey, I’m home.” The Edge’s Telecaster moans like a siren. Bono has a new pace for the vocals to go along with the new stage. “I can’t stand the beats/I’m asking for the cheque.” I know the feeling. “Give me something I can feel,” he blasts, his [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Suggested listening &#8211; U2 on YouTube One &#8211; Bono again sports the guitar but doesn’t strum for a while.  I’ve seen this song performed a few hundred times.  This, honestly, is just one more.  Nothing special.  The Edge plays a little lick after the first chorus, but that’s about it for musicianship.  This is choreography.  [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Suggested listening &#8211; U2 on YouTube The crowd chants “Ole”.  The screens show tumbling stars and murky comet belts.  The constellations must mean something.  A rush of sound takes over, and what looks like a chipper HAL9000 takes over.  The crowd quiets.  Baby-HAL asks “What time is it in the world?”  This is Popmart, ZooTV [&hellip;]</p>

<p>It&#8217;s hard to keep up with technology on a regular basis.  Advances come quickly and often target what the tech industry calls &#8216;early adopters&#8217; (otherwise known, affectionately, as geeks).  Most new products that come out these days never even make it to the regular public, and the ones that do often aren&#8217;t well understood. That&#8217;s [&hellip;]</p>

<p>An Interesting Diversion continues to hunt for the Most Douchiest Game with our next reader chosen candidate: Beer Pong. I&#8217;ve been hitting my head against the wall for days trying to find something funny to say about this game, but in all honesty what more comedy can be spun from a game whose motto is [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Greetings readers. It seems that in the last few years there has been a lot of talk about Residential Schools. In June of 2008, Stephen Harper apologized to the First Nations on behalf of Canada. The audience included Aboriginal leaders and politicians, and the rest of Parliament. Now, a couple of years later you may [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Alyssa Mosher &#8211; The Aquinian Health officials with St. Thomas University have been watching absenteeism of faculty, staff, and students as fears about the swine flu grow, but it has yet to spike. Despite this, Ryan Sullivan, Director of Residence Life at STU, says that students are still very anxious about the H1N1 virus. “The [&hellip;]</p>
