I think I'm going to stop reading the Gauntlet. Facing severe separation anxiety from my safe little Calgary life, I regularly turn to the little links that allow me to feel some sort of comfort, the student newspaper being one of them. Excuse me, previously being one of them. As long as the office of Editor in Chief houses children and opinions editors make lists instead of critiques, this publication will be off my list. Ok, so maybe I'm a little bitter about my recent dishonourable mention , but this publication isn't at the same level it used to be. I remember defending it's very existence 3 years ago, calling it the U of C's journalism program, arguing to maintain it's exclusivity in the student centre. Since then I've watched it sag under the weight of unresearched, baseless, commentary that passes for the truth in the campus community. Why isn't Dr. Henderson's contract being renewed? Maybe because enough of the students she belittled and picked on to keep her classes entertained got together and were heard by Admin, but nobody talked to the students who transfered out of her classes because they couldn't take the harrassment anymore. Perhaps someone should have picked up on the lack of official comment by Dean Randall that there was probably more at play than a few thousand dollars a year. Such stellar research... such informed protests... Natalie Sit I'll give you spring semester to turn this rag around.
