Manitoban Excerpt, Part 1

I picked up a copy of The Manitoban this week for the first (1st) time in a long time. I stumbled upon two (2) editorials that you guys should read. The Manitoban is the official student newspaper of the University of Manitoba.

The second (2nd) article I'll have for you tomorrow.
