UWSA opens campaigns for general election By Hannah Larking News Editor March 4, 2009 The UWSA opened campaigning for its general elections on Thursday, Feb. 26.
 This year, there are over 45 candidates running for a position in the UWSA, and 17 of those are competing for the executive placements of president, vice-president university affairs, vice-president finance and operation and vice president administration.
“I’m happy that we have so many people interested in running,” said UWSA president Tiffany Gooch. “It just gives the students more choice.”
“There are a lot of fees increasing… and it’s important that students really pay attention to these issues and ask those hard questions of the candidates so that this isn’t a popularity contest,” Gooch added. >> | Study: pressure beyond the podium By Jake Miller
Lance Writer March 4, 2009 Wake up, eat, sling your bag onto your shoulder and head to lecture. Such a routine sounds familiar to most students who go through the daily ritual of beating the professor to the lecture hall.

Special to The Lance March 4, 2009 During the spring and fall, when windows are left open for fresh air or to cut down on bills, thieves are on the prowl. 
This is their opportunity to steal laptops, monitors, MP3 players, cash and any other item that is easy to carry and easy to sell. The majority of the time this is occurring when the residents are sleeping.
Picture the scenario of living in a house with two or three other roommates. You hear a noise in the middle of the night and believe it is a roommate up for water or coming home late. You quickly fall back asleep and in the morning wake realizing someone had gained access to your home through an open window.
Over the past four years, the Windsor Police has been involved with dozens of break-ins in the area of the University of Windsor and born witness to the disbelief, shock and victimization of students. >> |
