Hopefully they won’t like jam, folk or blues

By Matt Hunziker | Mar. 12, 2009

After seven or eight years of taking guitar lessons, I took what might seem like a logical step and began to teach students of my own through the university. I'd considered teaching lessons in the past but had always stopped short. The prospect of seeing ""Instructor"" or even ""Student Teacher"" next to my name in a staff directory made me nervous, as if, decades in the future, one of my pupils would look back on a lifetime of drug addiction and trace the cause of their problems to the failure of a guitar instructor they'd had in college.

Spring (upon and) Break (the Irish’s back)

By David Hottinger and By Rachel Schulze | Mar. 12, 2009

To the untrained eye, the annual calendaring of Spring Break would seem as arbitrary a system as Scanner Dan has to his heckling targets, no doubt an illusion the powers that be would like to maintain. In truth, that bearded bum is far more impartial than the Board of Regents who set our schedule. Through a painstaking investigation, this journalist finds that in the eight Spring Breaks falling between the years of 2004 and 2011, no less that five coincide with St. Patrick's Day, a ""coincidence"" which in effect outsources the celebration of this critical holiday to spring break locales across the continent instead of allowing them to take place anywhere near the ""progressive"" confines of our beloved campus. Although few students would consider this near-perennial placement of the holiday suspect, the nine days of nothingness surrounding this sacred celebration of Irish culture betrays a systematic effort on the part of this University to suppress and suffocate the cultural identity and general will to live among its Irish members.

Propagandhi spread social message with new ‘supporting cast’

By Mario Puig | Mar. 11, 2009

Truthfully, Propagandhi would prefer to have people hear their message rather than their music. Sure, they like to rock, but they also like to envision the end of oppression and inequality. That means Propagandhi don't sing about bubblegum and holding hands, and there's a fair amount of ranting throughout their performances.
