"I hate feminists. You're all a bunch of feminists." The words of Mark Lepine still linger eleven years after the Montreal Massacre. In December, UTM held a memorial for all women who have been victims of violence.

The ongoing saga between the Erindale
College Student Union and its comic
sideshow – Student Centre Programmer,
Fred Amirhoushmand
– has taken yet
another turn. Amirhoushmand is now
missing in action and ECSU has called
off the search party.

UTM Professor's e-mail
sparks heated debate

Computer science professor Charles
Rackoff made headlines in national
newspapers in early December when he
sent out an e-mail expressing his dislike
for the remembrance of violence against
women vigil. U of T President Robert
Birgeneau distanced himself and the
university from Rackoff's comments.

No plans to take York students

Since the end of October, teaching assistants at York
University have been on strike, leaving the school’s 33,000
students at home twiddling their thumbs. A story in the Toronto
Star
quoted a government source as saying that York students
could be dispersed to other Ontario colleges and universities.
York President Lorna Marsden said she’d never discussed that
plan with the provincial government. Principal McNutt believes
the plan would be tough, if not impossible, to implement.
