TORONTO (CUP) – A contest held by Molson Canada on Facebook invited students from universities and colleges all across Canada to submit pictures of students partying on campus. The best picture could win a spring break trip, and the school with the most pictures posted could win the title of the number one party school in Canada.
The contest closed early, however, when it came under harsh criticism from university students and administrators. The contest was supposed to run for three weeks, but was shut down after just a week and a half.

This fall, Trinity Western University’s Marketing 430 class chose the Norma Marion Alloway Library as their client for the class’s semester-long project. Professor Don Hill and seven business students, with input from the library staff, created a variety of ways to measure the library’s success and get students’ opinions on how the library is serving them.
The class used an online survey, which they sent to a focus group by email. A few students stood at the entrance of the library directly interviewing people as they exited about their experience. Questions centered on what students expect from a library and whether they feel adequately served there.

It’s the Christmas season, and since the reason for the season is Jesus’ birth in a stable at Bethlehem, I thought it would be important to reflect for just a few moments on what Jesus’ birth could mean. Though I think that the stories about Jesus’ birth are powerfully true, both Matthew and Luke constructed the birth narratives in their respective gospels for a theological purpose that goes beyond our tendency to take as true that which is historical. In fact, interpreting the birth narratives as strings of historical facts detracts from them altogether. We must first understand the birth narratives in their theological and political context, and in doing so learn how they challenge any sure beliefs we hold.

It’s that time of the year again: when exams and papers and Christmas hangs over your head in one very unattractive lump. If you look to your roommate, he or she may also be experiencing this large wad of candy canes, flash cards, and coffee grounds also floating over his or her head. However, I’m here to suggest some new ways of coping with stress and your roommate’s stress simultaneously. These techniques may be considered unusual to some, but nevertheless, I believe them to be helpful in the long run.
