Sex survey draws highest number of responses ever

by Selina Renfrow

Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out our survey. I asked if you had sex and if no, why not? Well the 3.7% that answered no pretty much didn’t have the chance. I also wanted to know why people didn’t use condoms. Common answers included being in a committed relationship, using other forms of birth control, killing the mood, de-sensitizing, allergic, doesn’t fit, can’t get it on right, breaks, dries her out, forgets and lesbian sex. Thanks for your honesty; I’ll address these issues in another column.
Also, don’t forget to check out the top ten craziest sex stories on The Reflector’s website.

Supplying the high

by Michael Bull

The trafficking of narcotics and the illegality that accompanies
it is widely emphasized in the media, often in a negative light.
While it is indeed more comforting to believe those directly implicated in the crime, the drug dealers themselves,
are terrible, immoral people clogging our streets and corrupting our youth, this simply
isn’t the case.

The subject of this interview identified by the pseudo name John to protect his identity,
is 20 years old and has been selling for almost three years. He isn’t technically a crook or a criminal and has never been in trouble with the law. He doesn’t live at home anymore but still maintains constant contact
with his parents and in fact, this interview
was cut short when John announced he had to go to his parent’s house for Sunday dinner.

‘Fire of spirit’

MRC student inspires despite disability

by Samantha Thiessen

We’ve all been exposed in some way to those inspirational
people who contribute to society in the most amazing ways, despite some major form of physical setback.
Whether they are introduced on a largely televised talk show, or simply a local evening news special, these people generally make us able-bodied citizens feel somewhat inadequate due to their undying sense of determination
and willingness to help others.
However, as Mount Royal students, seldom do we get the privilege of so closely co-existing
with such an individual right here on our own campus.
 
Due to his friendly demeanour and willingness to share his story and ideals, much of the Mount Royal student body is familiar with 24-year-old Caylan Boyse. The name “Caylan” is an inspirational term in itself, meaning “fire of spirit,” in Irish Gaelic and Boyse lives up to the hype of his name by making efforts to improve the world despite enduring a tragic car accident that left him 83 per cent disabled.
