Hi - Nigel.Allen@bbs.oit.unc.edu (Nigel Allen) writes: > > It's a pity that the Library of Congress doesn't receive Toronto's >Most Feared Morning Paper, as The Varsity has been known to call itself. > >The Varsity, founded in 1880, is the main student newspaper at the >University of Toronto. Individual colleges within the university have their >own student newspapers (the Gargoyle at University College, for example), >and the administration publishes something called The Bulletin. I don't think it's a pity. The editors of _The_Varsity_ have certain political agendas which manifest themselves as an awful bias (especially w.r.t. feminist issues) in the content of the paper. Calling it "the main student newspaper" is perhaps giving it too much credit. While I don't want to start some silly what-is-the-best-student-paper contest, I prefer reading U of T's _the_newspaper_ for its more balanced treatment of issues. -- -- Frank Ch.
