by Meghan Lawson, Editor-In-Chief in News

Was Avatar robbed of the Oscar for Best Picture? Art: Corrie Jackson
by Jake Howell, Associate Editor in Opinions
I would like to preface this article by saying this first and foremost: I thought The Hurt Locker was an incredible movie. I did, I really did. It was well written, tense, and exciting. It "blew me away," so to speak. But Avatar was something special. Avatar changed the game. Let me explain.

The fantasy of student unity
Stronger Together and Change UofT seem to agree that a united student body is a good thing, but is this realistic?
by Sean MacKay, Managing Editor in Editorial
Like many politically-minded students, I've been following the UTSU election closely. I've taken the time to responsibly research the candidates' platforms, while also mining the increasingly vicious, yet hilarious comments section of the Varsity's website, and watching Antonin Mongeau's now infamous (not really) "Tobygate" film; a video that purports to show the Ryerson Students' Union acting President, Toby Whitfield, tearing down UofT club posters to replace them with signs promoting the incumbent slate, Stronger Together.

MONTREAL (CUP) - Gold farming is a type of digital labour. Put simply, in massively multi-player online role-playing games like World of Warcraft, players will pay real-world currency for characters, weapons, and gold coins, or to reach higher levels. Professional gamers, or "gold farmers," will spend time attaining these digital goods and then sell them to the gamers willing to pay.

Hart House event mixes art, social justice, and food

The curse of Generation Y is not that we have to pick up the burdens of our predecessors. It is that we are forced to care too much. Some may argue that our emotional investment is just the responsibility of living in a global economy. However, there has got to be something out of hand when we come to second-guess ourselves at every aisle in the grocery store. What are the implications of picking up an organic apple shipped from California over the one that costs a little less, is covered with pesticide, but grown locally? Should we support Ontario farmers over-industrialized agricultural schemes? Or, should we support a sustainable-energy conscious farm, which produces organic food, but depends heavily on unpaid "volunteers" (free labour) who must face the challenge of earning a decent cost of living? And, what does all this have to do with art?

Playing with numbers
She's Out Of My League adds charm to the standard 'rom-com' formula
by Jake Howell, Staff Writer in Film & Music
You may have heard of the popular people-ranking theory which says that the most perfect of individuals are rated "10" (out of 10), and the scale declines from there. Your rating affects who you can date, because according to popular culture, you can't jump more than 2 points. In other words, a "7" can get a "9" at best, and a "10" can't stoop any lower than an "8." You get the (rather arbitrary) idea. But how can a "10" go for a "5"? That's the question that She's Out Of My League seeks to answer.
Lesser-known slates lose in UTSU election
We bet you've never even heard of them!
by Karolina Dejnicka, Stranded Editor in Stranded
Student politics at the University of Toronto Student Union have been dominated by the orange Change slate and the green Stronger Together slate, but little attention - if any - is ever paid to their lesser-known rivals. Because we here at Stranded believe in giving all the news, we're giving our readers all the information regarding the obscure, yellow-themed Evolve slate.
