The Last Spin Around



The last issue of the semester has been printed and this will be my last post to you as your Editor-in-Chief.

Melisa Thew's photo contribution brightens the cover and reminds me of the growth that I've seen this paper undergo during my time in the Spinny Chair.  It's been a good ride this year, Concordia, and I hope that the Blue & White was something that added to your student experience.  I know it sure added to mine.
 

Alexandra wanted to include this picture in the issue; unfortunately, the last page didn't have enough room for its epicness.  Happy grad to all you who are leaving these halls for galaxies far, far away.




And, in parting, thanks for the contributions from our contract writers, our editors, and you the student body!  If you are interested in being more involved in the Blue & White next year, contact Kyle Lim at csavpinternal@student.concordia.ab.ca.


Peace out!

Issue # 11

 
Though it is still a dismal 20 below zero outside, the B&W is sporting some green on our gorgeous colour cover, thanks to Sarah Gale.






Besides the editors' striking new head shots, Issue #11 features the winners of our first ever poetry contest!  Thanks to everyone who entered, and to Lisa Martin-DeMoor who adjudicated!


 


We are looking for editors and writers to be a part of the 2011-2012 B&W staff.  If you are interested, please contact us by March 28th for more information: bw.concordia@gmail.com.

With CSA elections around the corner, Issue #10 has a peculiar political flavour.  Feminism, political apathy, 2011 as the year of Science, and an interview featuring the GSA are all there for your pondering pleasure.*  And if the cerebral exercise is a little heavy, there's a chemical crossword to distract for a while. 

Speaking of science, the Chaplaincy centre is hosting a Dr. Deborah Hemmerling on the topic of Faith and Biology, Wednesday March 23rd at 2pm, check it out!

Something else worth attending: the Mission Trip teams are hosting a coffeehouse featuring Concordia students in Tegler at 7:30pm Friday March 11th, lots of stories and music will be shared!

Thanks to everyone who submitted their work for the B&W poetry contest! Winning entries will be included in the March 28th issue.

Have something to share? Send it in: bw.concordia@gmail.com


*(Also in this issue is an article containing pointed attacks on the CSA.  The Blue & White would like to apologize to the members of the CSA for printing this piece; the article will be further addressed in the next issue.)
