Professors at the University of Saskatchewan disagree with a recent Statistics Canada report that claims they are paid more than the national average.
The report, released in early May, compared the average salaries of university professors in Canada over the 2010-11 academic year. The U of S Faculty Association claims, however, that Statistics Canada overestimated its calculations of the U of S salaries.

People who know me well understand two things about me: I hate coffee and I love words. Words are my trade and I take care of them. We have a very strange language with a long history, but most people do not stop to think about how it came together. So here is a brief tour of some of the more peculiar points of English.
Roya Pourjamshidi, a self-identified member of the Baha’i faith and a current engineering student at the University of Saskatchewan, applied to continue her education at Iranian universities. Her applications were denied.

I lost the Sheaf’s Oscar poll to arts editor Aren Bergstrom. As punishment, I agreed to compare Adam Sandler’s recent Razzie champ Jack and Jill with the eternal gong show Bio-Dome, starring Pauly Shore and one of the unfunny Baldwins.

I’m going to pit them against each other in three categories — story, performance and comedy — in order to determine which movie is less cringe-inducing.
