When The Beacon staff sent right to information requests to St. Thomas University asking for president Dawn Russell’s salary, we were not optimistic. So in December, when a letter came denying the request we were disappointed, but not surprised. The reason for the refusal, according to the letter, was that St. Thomas was not covered [...]
Tonight was the last night the STU Tommies would play the UNB Varsity Reds in a Battle of the Hill at the Lady Beaverbrook Rink. With the construction of the Grant-Harvey Centre, this game marks the last time the Tommies will host UNB in the old rink. However, the last true Battle of the Hill [...]
