On February 4th, Champlain College’s longest-standing tradition, “Bon Temps” Winter College Weekend took place. Reuniting both current and former members of this close-knit collegiate community. Individuals on and off campus associated with Champlain College gathered to partake in a wide range of winter festivities in honour of this cherished tradition. Packed with the famous annual broomball tournament, axe throwing, gorilla golf, trivia, and more, this event lived up to its esteemed reputation.
Trent English Literature Professor, Dr. Sally Chivers, focuses most of her research on aging and age studies through literature. In her new podcast, Wrinkle Radio, she dissects how we stigmatize aging because of our fear surrounding the natural processes our bodies go through.
Dungeons and Dragons is a fantasy role-playing tabletop game where you can be almost anything you want. As a shy person, role-playing always seemed scary, but I wanted to try it as I love fantasy. I was first introduced to it around twelve. At fourteen, I was briefly taught how to make a character. After completing my character, I watched their session and was hooked. I wanted to learn more about it and leave my comfort zone to play.
Rumours of Alfred's death have been greatly exaggerated, as the current insert bears witness to. This horrible little paper, bred in the deepest pits of contempt for ingrained authority, bootlickers, and patsies of all description is the satirical (and deeply stupid) younger brother of Arthur. Be warned: This paper has no redeeming qualities.
With Issue Seven, Arthur's 57th Volume goes out with a proverbial bang. Having survived a malicious libel and defunding campaign wrought by Trent's best and brightest, Arthur is assured another year (at least) of funding. Beyond the top-notch reporting you've come to love and expect, the paper and its contributors come back swinging with "Alfred" - an insert which is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18 or who get offended by things they read.
Issue Five features a centre spread in recognition of Black History Month made up of community contributors reflecting on aspects of Black identity in a local and global context. The re-opening of the Pig's Ear Tavern was major news for locals and so Irene Suvillaga sat down with the new owners for another installment of "Meet the Locals." An awkward and upsetting instance of white fragility in Council ends in a successful motion for Councillors to undertake mandatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Training. "Dear David" takes on the big questions of gender politics, Evan Robins returns with a theatrical cut for "Cinevangelism," and another dispath from our trusted writer abroad, Tru Van Wyk talks the ups and downs of life in Nottingham. Finally, we are excited at the return of PuzPuz Puzzles! Sit back, relax, and remember what you read!
