SOME EXTRAS FOR U Like many others on campus, we took a week off from our usual routine. But we’re back to produc- ing The Uniter on a weekly basis again, with a few extra flourishes. This week’s paper is a few pages longer than usual, as we had a well-rounded set of contribu- tions from our amazing volunteers. We’re sharing a tour through the home of Todd Kowalski, bassist and vocalist for Propagandhi and an interview with Matt Peters and Matt Schellenberg of Royal Canoe. Shondell Babb shares her proposed solution to Winnipeg’s status as a “product wasteland” for natural hair, and Kristen Treusch will take you on a tour of the city’s haunts. In the film world, we’ve got a Critipeg review of the latest Errol Morris documentary, The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman’s Portrait Photography and of Cinémental, a French-language film festival. In the City section, we explore some of the reasoning behind Manitoba Hydro rate hikes and possible bylaw changes that could affect vaping. We also look at a new app that aims to connect commuters with others to carpool or share a route. On campus, we’ve got the facts on the upcoming byelection, and on the beginning of the Wesmen men’s basketball season. In the PROFile, meet Julie Nagam, who also co-curated the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s largest contemporary Indigenous art exhibition. Finally, in comments, we’re sharing op-eds about illegal rooming houses and how govern- ment policy affects students’ well-being and about the process of checking out a human in lieu of a book through The Human Library. I hope you’ll enjoy this week’s collection of stories exploring Winnipeg’s culture and the University of Winnipeg’s campus. – Anastasia Chipelski DownloaD of the week V ISIT UNITER.CA to download closer BLy royA canoe @Th EUnITEr @Th EUnITEr faEOMC bOOk.C / ThEUnITEr Wesmen guard Narcisse Ambanza looks for a play during a game against Trinity Western on Jan. 7, 2017. p hoto by daniel crump UNITER STAFF co nTrIbUTOrS coTS nTaC U S UbMISSIOnS Managing Editor STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER WRITERS General INquiries Submissions of articles, letters, graphics a nastasia chipelski » [email protected] c allie morris » [email protected] Joseph bernacki 204.988.7579 and photos are encouraged, however Business Manager STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER s tephanie berrington [email protected] all new contributors (with the exception c harmagne de Veer » [email protected] Keeley braunstein-black » [email protected] Jen doerksen www.uniter.ca of letters to the editor) must attend Valerie nyamori a 45-minute volunteer orientation Creative DIRECTOR STAFF Illustrator Advertising workshop to ensure that the volunteer Photographers b ryce creasy » [email protected] g abrielle Funk » [email protected] 204.786.9790 understands all of the publication’s basic s helby hart guidelines.

You might say that punk has played a pivotal role in my life. Needless to say, I have also seen a great deal of media misrepresentation over the years. I completely agree with Craig O’Hara’s perception when he states in his fine introduction to American punk rock, self-explanatorily entitled The Philosophy of Punk: More than Noise, that “Punk has been characterized as a self-destructive, violence oriented fad [...] which had no real significance.” (1999: 43.) He quotes Larry Zbach of Maximum RockNRoll, one of the better known international punk fanzines1, who speaks of “repeated media distortion” which has lead to a situation wherein “more and more people adopt the appearance of Punk [but] have less and less of an idea of its content.
