Talk of giving Edward Snowden the Nobel Peace Prize this year has resparked debate surrounding his circumstances. Is Edward Snowden the hero of the voiceless or a dangerous criminal?
After 20 years, Victor Sawa will be hanging up his baton at the Regina Symphony Orchestra. The RSO hopes to bring a fresh new audience, but it’ll be hard to dissociate Sawa’s grinning mug from our local symphony.

the manifesto
In keeping with our reckless, devil-may-care image, our office has absolutely no concrete information on the Carillon’s formative years readily available. What follows is the story that’s been passed down from editor to editor for over forty years.

In the late 1950s, the University of Regina planned the construction of several new buildings on the campus grounds. One of these proposed buildings was a belltower on the academic green. If you look out on the academic green today, the first thing you’ll notice is that it has absolutely nothing resembling a belltower. The University never got a belltower, but what it did get was the Carillon, a newspaper that serves as a symbolic bell tower on campus, a loud and clear voice belonging to each and every student.

In other news: “Everything is fine,”reported a national news outlet on Tuesday. “There is absolutely no cause for alarm.”
