Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that there is a collective grumpiness surrounding campus on Valentine’s Day? It’s almost like a physical force where this weird energy changes the way people act.
So what is Valentine’s Day to you? When you hear those two words do you roll your eyes and think: great, here we go again? Or do you jump for joy? Maybe you just love chocolate or maybe you don’t really see a difference between February 14 and 15.

Andrew: England / Northern Ireland
MH: What has been the prettiest play you’ve ever seen first hand?

Trinity Western University Student Association president Brian Weir presented a novel challenge to the student body at the beginning of this semester. Weir offered any student $50 towards a project of their choice. The intention of this project was to improve TWU in some way.

It’s 1980, A.D. The United States and the U.S.S.R are throwing nuclear weapons around their own countries, sometimes detonating them, while American and Soviet citizens size up their country against the other, like two kids on the playground, debating whose dad is stronger. Meanwhile, comedian Richard Pryor suffers burns from free basing cocaine. And, yes, John Bonham has just died.

The fashion was bizarre – the hair, the jeans, the make up – it was as if soap television shows Dynasty and Dallas directly influenced the choices of the typical 1980s brass. There were some drastic shifts in society; women began to flood the business sphere and as this working woman identity expanded, so did their shoulder width.
