Hey Voicebox,

I think that any campus newspaper that can get away with not attributing not one article in their entire newspaper should just go to hell. Also, when the first article written in the second volume of that newspaper is attributed to just the staff, it shouldn’t exist. So, hopefully the Leveller will get the hint and learn how to do proper journalism. Thanks.

’Tis the season for flu shots. This year students will have to decide whether or not to follow some doctors’ orders and brave the long lines for H1N1 immunization. Naturopaths weigh in.

Ottawa naturopathic doctor Tara Anchel said naturopathic medicine is more popular than ever in the capital. Nevertheless, you’d be hard-pressed to find a news story depicting Ottawans, fearful of contracting the H1N1 virus, waiting in absurdly long lines for preventative acupuncture session or herbal supplements.
