queen's identity - film students have the scoop!
so a link off the queen's main page serves to deconstruct the queen's identity. following the link provides another link and a thoughtful, introspective pic of 'symposium director' frances darwin. it seems that next week, september 18th to be exact, there'll be a big meeting of the minds down at grant hall, the iconic stomping ground of sometime graduation ceremonies and frosh week sex talks by sue johansen (side note - during the sex with sue talk a buch of overzealous theatre students whipped condoms at the audience - condoms that had but two months to go till their expiry date. The message, i gleamed from the talk, was if you're going to have sex, use a condom and do it very soon, preferably before halloween).
so the talk, on queen's identity, will revolve around 7 topics and grad students will dart about the proceedings to make sure that conversations stay on topic. The topics include the ol favs tuition and education (go figure that one eh?) as well as student apathy, queen's and kingston relations and queen's identity (i sense a theme). having queen's identity as a separate topic seems like overkill to me but what do i know?
the masterminds behind the talk tilt to the artistic side of the queen's spectrum - mostly film students who like to mention that they've traveled extensively or have performed with choclair (!?). well there is a documentary project attached to this thing so that kind of makes sense.
the interesting thing however is the fact that there is the promise of food - and i quite enjoy food. it's supplied by student clubs which could be a hit or miss proposition, but still, free is free.
they ask, if you're interested in attending, to email for info as space may be limited. you really have to look on the site to find this plea so they might have a few people show up just the same but the email is below if anyone's interested.

btw - the boards section is very lame. one student wrote - and i would like to state that i would love to rattle this person with something - that queen's students are apathetic because they have lots of money. tim is a genius.
