My Arts boy, Michael Di Leo, actually doubted me when I told him this past week that I probably reached 100 articles for The Medium over four years. Perhaps hes right, the math just doesnt add up – I wouldve had to write for 98 per cent of all 104 issues over the last four [...]
UTMAC election under cloud of suspicion
The election for the UTM Athletic Council concluded on March 26 with more than a fair share of controversy and uncertainty. The election pitted three teams against each other – Mac Attack led by presidential candidate Yogan Sivanathan, Big Mac led by current UTMAC President Andrew Lalla, and Blue Print led by current Director of [...]
Just look at your right hand
Its the joke issue. Chill the fuck out.
No, the Undergraduate Commerce Society hasnt been abandoned by the Department of Management. No, the Student Union isnt taking over them. No, all the quotes werent real. And no, a residence building did not burn down because of candles used during Earth Hour. But if you believed all [...]
Management abandons UCS
In an unprecedented and unexpected move, the Department of Management has decided that beginning next year it will no longer support the Undergraduate Commerce Society (UCS).
Currently, UCS shares a special relationship with the department, unlike all other academic societies on campus, which are overseen and funded entirely by the University of Toronto Mississauga Students Union [...]
Do something about it
Some of you may remember Adam Rogers, an individual who made the campus and local news headlines more than once last year. For those of you who dont, Rogers was a prospective UTM student who moved into Residence on campus just after he received a letter of acceptance from the Residence administration. A few weeks [...]
Styling and profiling
Honestly, I think it ran better than last years third night – quite a statement, especially considering Michael Ross, co-producer of Style and Profyles sixth annual Fashion and Dance Show, was referring to this years preview which began an hour late last Thursday night. I found out later on the next evening that such [...]
You’re right. And I’m not sorry.
$7.25. Just in case youre wondering how much each student pays in incidental fees towards The Medium.
You see, Im well aware that many of you UTM students, upon seeing this weeks front page, will shake your heads and wonder what I was thinking. Youll berate me for wasting your precious seven bucks in covering [...]
Just “Chants”
108 comments. And counting. Thats how much hype the UCSBizfrosh (re: last weeks front page article) affair has generated on our website. And to think that a week ago, the Undergraduate Commerce Society felt the whole issue wasnt really news.
The council members, in particular UCS President Jyotin Handa, have since apologized for their inapproachability [...]
Today’s “positive space�
As I went around gathering information and facts on the Undergraduate Commerce Society (UCS) and their Biz Frosh fiasco (re: UCS under fire for Biz Frosh chants on the front page), it surprised me to find so much animosity and ill-feelings between The Medium and various student organizations on campus.
A couple of months ago, [...]
UCS under fire for Biz Frosh chants
The Undergraduate Commerce Society is currently under investigation from UTM administration for promoting discriminating and lewd behaviour during their orientation week, titled Biz Frosh in September last year. Last October, two students sent separate emails to UTM Student Union vp equity Saaliha Malik raising their concerns over some of the cheers chanted during the [...]
