cover summer is upon us, and here at the carillon, we are planting the tomato seeds of progress. Or something like that. It’s a new volume, and some growth analogy seemed necessary. At any rate, continue lazying about your summer in your garden or on your couch or whatever with a summer issue of the carillon!

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 bell tower 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 bell tower. The University never got a bell tower, 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. Illegitimi non carborundum.

Welcome to the first summer carillon. It’s like welcoming you into our home, but it’s ten minutes to deadline, I am only alive because of coffee, and I’ve never really been a great host. So there. Come in, help yourself, I’m going to sleep. –Love, new production manager photos news taouba khelifa a&c queer city cinema sports marc messet
