So here we are already five issues into the semester. Sadly, I’m fighting a rather intense head cold this week, but so it goes. Thankfully with the help of NyQuil, I’m not only managing to deal with the symptoms, but in a few days, I probably won’t even remember being sick. The fact that this stuff is available over the counter is a miraculous situation unto itself, as the potency of the standard Cherry flavor is about that of any East Van back alley contraband. So perhaps it’s the haze of the medication, or maybe it’s just that the holiday season is sneaking up on us, but I’ve decided that a giveaway is what we need to keep things exciting.

As we approach mid-semester, each OP issue has been coming together increasingly smoothly, and the content submitted by the loyal OP staff is better and better each week. But without a giveaway, things just aren’t right. Something would be missing. Well no longer! The official OP week 5 giveaway is upon you! Tell them what they can win Don Pardo...

“That's right Trevor, next week, one lucky winner will walk away wearing a swank, Other Press T-Shirt made of nature friendly hemp”!

I know, that’s amazing isn’t it? A chance to acquire your very own Other Press hemp T- shirt. Talk about the best dressed on campus!

Now all you have to do to win this prize is answer this super easy trivia question: Who is your favorite Other Press writer? Submit your answer directly to my email account and P’ll do a random draw of the thousands (or maybe 5) answers that I get.

That’s right kids, readership has it’s privileges! See ya next week for the exciting draw results! In the meantime, I’m outta here to score more NyQuil.

Just wanted to send along some kind words regarding your hilarious “Campus Coup”

issue from last week. I was secretly reading it during a lecture and actually got embar- rassed when I laughed out loud while reading one article. Way to go exposing some of the crazy stuff that is going on at Douglas right now. Given the choice, I’d transfer all of my student fees directly to you guys so that each issue could have even more funny stuff! Keep up the good work!

Just wanted to comment regarding your issue from last week. Don’t you think some of it was a little unfair? Is a coup really necessary regarding the DSU? I was thinking more along the lines of public rock throwing.

My fond regards, Brent.
