WHAT GRINDS OUR GEARS: The boredom of Burnaby campus

Has anyone from the Burnaby campus not been to the Surrey campus? Go! It’s like a city resort, shopping underneath, glass and beautiful wood finishing everywhere, lecture halls that look like theatres, a Skytrain station next to campus, and, get this . . . escalators and a gaming room.

All this for “over 7500 students”? Excuse me, Burnaby easily has more students and we get none of those luxuries. Every day we struggle up the Saywell staircase huffing and puffing while Surrey students ride escalators like kings. We pile into the overcrowded 145 while Surrey kids stroll leisurely to the Surrey Central Station, sipping Blenz coffee (forget Renaissance.) Don’t get me started about the games room; they have better equipment than what I have at home.

Is Burnaby, the heart of SFU, forgotten? We deserve better. If Surrey has a Skytrain, I demand a cable car to Production. If Surrey has escalators, I demand a travelator so I can feel like I’m in the airport when going around the AQ. If they get a games room, I want an arcade.

Come on, SFU, step up your game for Burnaby kids. We deserve more than a . . . wait . . . “Student Union Building”?

New immunotherapy treatment provides hope for aggressive cancer

By: Lucaiah Smith-Miodownik, News Writer Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are often recognized as the three most common forms of cancer treatment. Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society. Immunotherapy seeks to help strengthen the ability to recognize and fight...
