Return of the Mack

The Concordia Stingers football team has a tough road ahead. As of last week, their record sat at a lowly 0-4. For many, four losses in as many games is a reflection of a bunch of underachieving athletes. The same can't be said of the Stingers. In this case, 0-4 is a reflection of the countless setbacks the team has come face to face with since before the season even began.

Letters to the Editor

re: Tuition increases improve access (Sept. 29) What dismay and frustration I felt reading the students' own paper's editorial calling for an increase in tuition fees. And what a combination of fantasy and far-fetched twists that argument was. What was the point, for example, of comparing student debt in Canada and at Harvard?
