EDITORIAL: The 4Floors conundrum
When an issue is too divisive for our editorial board to reach a consensus on it, we feel that our readers are better served by two competing editorials that look at all sides of the debate. With that in mind, we tackle the party everyone loves to hate: 4Floors-should it stay or should it go? UNLEASH THE POTENTIAL McGill students are spoiled.
@MAC: New library slowly revealing itself
Students are finally beginning to see some results of the summer’s renovations on the Macdonald Campus Library. Only the upper level of the library, which houses the print journal collection, the photocopiers and some computers, was made available to students after being closed since May 1.
JOKE ISSUE: Adventures in abstinence
Let me make things perfectly clear: I am a virgin. Never been kissed, disrobed, or had my hand held.

CAMPUS: Marty the Martlet turns one
What is red and white and wears a kilt? It is none other than McGill’s beloved mascot, Marty the Martlet, who this month turns one. Marty made his debut during the 2005 Homecoming game, where he was presented to the McGill Athletics Department by the Student Organization for Alumni Relations.
CAMPUS: New campus service for safer drug use

FEATURE: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire…
It would only have taken a single spark on the wooden fire escape for an entire block in downtown Sackville, New Brunswick, to go up in flames.
