Shine-A-RAMA is ILLEGAL!
Day after day people complain about the homeless asking for cash but they don’t stick – sticks in your windows asking for change! Or yell at the top of their lungs asking for change.

Dumb ass kids
Students are back. Whoopie!! Here’s a “tip” for you all. The bar staff can be your best friends or your worst enemies. We don’t work for minimum wage.

Pimp my dorm room
Pictured above is a typical Dalhousie Howe Hall single dorm room. Empty, it’s perfect for minimalist psychopaths. But you deserve a room with personality that won’t scare the neighbours. So how and where do you start? We asked Suzanne Saul, co-owner of Attica Furnishings (1566 Barrington Street, 423-2557), to give us a few design guidelines, […]

All you can eat buffet makeover
“So, do you want to go classy or dirty?” These were the words that started our buffet journey. (Actually, they were “We need a student related food story by Monday.”) The assignment: create food porn from the endless troughs of buffets and make the cheap and plain into something fancy—high dining for the sub-$20 crowd.

NSPIRG’s Re-orientation plan
Traditionally, universities welcome new students with a week’s worth of orientation tedium—think tours of the campus, barbeque on the quad with 3,000 other awkward frosh, boring welcoming speeches by academic pooh-bahs. A sleepy student is a prepared student, is the idea. But the Nova Scotia Public Interest Research Group is breaking that mold with its […]
