Burgeoning Burlesque
Justin Bell, Managing Editor
It’s almost midnight before the troupe finally goes on. Seven women climb on stage wearing what looks like purple-sequined one-piece swimsuits and shiny silver helmets, acting confused and disoriented. But as the music comes to a crescendo, they all remove their helmets and form a line while the crowd starts hooting.
Halloween Haberdashery
Gateway Staff, Gateway Staff
Another Halloween, another batch of costume parties and more booze and candy than a drunken sailor could handle. This, of course, means it’s also time to stretch your grey matter and come up with the ultimate Halloween costume, a task sometimes easier said than done.
Campus Myths
Justin Bell, Managing Editor
Ryan Bromsgrove, Editor-in-Chief
The University of Alberta is an old and auspicious institution with a crazy past. And in the last 100 years, a lot of insane rumours have started. In order to bring light to a few of these rumours, The Gateway has gone undercover in order to dig up the important dirt on the institution.
A day in RATT
Ryan Bromsgrove, Editor-in-Chief

Thanksgiving Memories
Alana Willerton, Arts & Culture Editor
Paige Gorsak, Gateway Staff
Ian Phillipchuk, Gateway Staff
Perhaps in Martin Frobisher’s day, people cared about the harvest and safe arrivals, and maybe even now you pretend that your holiday Monday is spent honouring loved ones. It’s probably easier though to just admit that you love Thanksgiving because you love turkey (or tofurkey, if that’s your thing).

Justin Bell, Managing Editor

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.
