Episode 57 — Student occupation, state of the arts, tablets vs. textbooks
WATERLOO (CUP) — On this week's edition of the Canadian University Press Podcast, we speak with Queen Arsem-O'Malley of the McGill Daily about the student occupation of the James Administration building on that campus. Next, we go to Camosun College's Nexus to speak to Ali Hackett about her piece, "State of the arts," which explores government arts funding programs and the value of the arts to communities. Finally we speak with Katie Flood of The Cord at Wilfrid Laurier University about her piece on tablets being used as textbooks and whether this is a trend we can expect to become more prominent.
The Canadian University Press Podcast is hosted and produced by Mike Lakusiak in Waterloo, Ont. at the offices of Wilfrid Laurier University's student newspaper, The Cord. Comments or questions can be sent to cupcast@cup.ca or via Twitter by following @cupcast.
