Poll Position
The Gateway examines the 2012 Alberta Provincial Election
Gateway Staff, Gateway Staff
For the first time in decades, there’s a provincial election in Alberta that’s at least somewhat interesting — while every vote since the early ‘70s has been an almost foregone conclusion, there’s finally some movement in the polls this year.

Andrew Jeffrey, Sports Editor
As students, grades seem like the most important part of life, with long study sessions the norm to pull off killer marks. But in the end, it all comes down to what you can do with that degree after four years — specifically, what sort of job you can get.
Poster Slam 2012
Gateway Staff, Gateway Staff
You’ve seen the posters around campus encouraging you to vote. Now check out what our expert panel has to say about them. Not about the election, but about the posters. The horrible, horrible posters. And in order to put those horrible designers in their place, we’ve made it our mandate to tear them apart (verbally, of course, not literally).
Our panel this year consisted of Madeline Smith, Ryan Bromsgrove, Darcy Ropchan, Tyler Hein, Sam Brooks and Ross Vincent
Election Dissection 2012
Alex Migdal, Multimedia Editor
April Hudson, News Editor
Let’s face it: Students’ Union elections can be confusing for the average student. And with this year’s executive race featuring 17 candidates, not including “None of the Above,” even the most knowledgeable student might have a tough time casting an informed vote. That’s why we’ve assembled a crack team of SU experts to help you decipher the buzz words and campaign promises shamelessly being thrown around. The Gateway’s Alex Migdal and April Hudson sat down with the panel mid-way through the campaign period in order to dissect the races and determine which candidates ultimately deserve your vote.
Guys’ Night / Girls’ Night
Gateway Staff, Gateway Staff
The Gateway takes a look at the results of a daring experiment: a group of guys get to experience a “typical” ladies’ night while a group of ladies get to partake in all of the “usual” guys’ night shenanigans. Nothing was ever seen of either group again. The only thing that remains are these photos and the notes we’ve published…

The Gateway’s Court of Appeals summons you to appear in court and stand trial for your heinous misdeeds. Whether you’ve racked up triple-digit demerits or have a mad case of subpoenas envy, it’s time to testify. Will you pass the bar, or will I find you in contempt…and in my bed.
Winning at cheating: a not so comprehensive guide
03/30/2012
Life is hard. There’s no secret or manual — we’re all just sort of playing it by ear. There’s no right or wrong way to go through life, just an easy way and a hard way. The hard way involves work, dedication, motivation, aggravation, archaeological excavation, rhyming skills, etc. So we can all agree the hard way is way too hard. It’s clear you need to take the easy way out. After all, with great effort comes great responsibility.
