Our generation is going to take over the world. Literally. In 50-70 years, anybody in power today is going to be dead or resembling vegetation. We will be inheriting a very interesting system. There will be lots of issues for us to fix and many more mistakes for us to make. One thing is for sure: we will be pointing a lot of blame back to those in power today.

Delays in construction are nothing new to Trinity Western University, as is the case with the water line that will connect TWU to the Township of Langley’s water supply.

The majority of the project is complete, but it ran into various obstacles that prevented it from reaching the originally projected finish of late Oct. 2007, according to director of Campus Services Paul Johnston.

The most significant aspect was discovering a First Nations archeological site in McMillan Park, located on Glover Road between the TWU entrance and the train tracks.

Juno

The film Juno caught my attention as I stumbled across an article which featured ex-stripper, blogger turned screenwriter, Diablo Cody – who was first discovered by an agent on her personal blog, “The Pussy Ranch.” After landing her first book deal, her agent urged her to write a screenplay and – for the price of countless hours spent sitting in Target – Juno materialized.

Prof shortage in Canada

OTTAWA (CUP) – The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) conducted a study in November estimating that almost 21,000 Canadian faculty members will retire or leave in the next ten years.

The departure of these faculties could present problems for Canadian universities and colleges in order to fill these positions. Ph.D programs are going to have to try even harder to attract new students both within the country and abroad, by making their programs more attractive and academically stronger. Furthermore, the need for new teachers will increase salaries, allowing only some universities the ability to compete.

Canada seems to get a bad rap when it comes to culture. Somehow we’ve ended up with the reputation of borrowing from everyone else. From our food, to our music, everything looks, smells, touches and tastes like the rest of the world. It seems as though multiculturalism has lived up to its name: everyone has stuck to his or her own thing, and as a result, Canada has no mass culture to call its own.

Last spring, a randomly selected group of 1,500 students at Trinity Western University were asked to get personal with the Wellness Centre. Students were asked questions about alcohol, sexual activity, stress and mental health in addition to inquiries about nutrition, exercise and general wellness.

The results were a part of the National College Health Assessment, a predominantly American survey that tracks health trends among university students.

Though the TWU survey results were calculated last semester, the Wellness Centre has chosen not to release them to the TWU community yet, said campus nurse Michelle Regehr.

After playing their previous four games at home, the Spartans men’s basketball team were back on the road. TWU first visited the University of Saskatchewan Huskies, before traveling to Edmonton to take on the University of Alberta Golden Bears.

Their first game saw the hot Saskatchewan Huskies team start off strong, and they didn’t look back. The Huskies, who won the game 104-66, had no challenge at all as the Spartans failed to score 20 points in any quarter of the game.

What is the source of goodness and justice on this earth? Assuming these exist, either it is God who is just and brings justice, or it is us.

Let’s say we, corporately, are the source of goodness and justice. To begin with, we see that the world is essentially unjust: hard-working, well-intentioned people are going through extremely tough times. The solution? Humans in a state of greater material abundance come together, act and justice is served.
