Sounds Like Art!
Reporter: Matthew Pearn MT554047@DAL.CA
When you think of Art, you probably think of colours and shapes or flowers and bowls of fruit. But Eleanor King wants to change that cliché. She makes art you enjoy through your ears. Using a microphone - she collects city and beach noises. Then she turns *noise* into *art*.
Eleanor King's "Soundroam" can be picked up at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia reception desk, 1723 Hollis from January 14 to February 26.

U-PASS comes to Dalhousie...but not to King's
Reporter: Janet MacLeod Janet.MacLeod@dal.ca
The U-PASS (Universal Transit Pass) has arrived at Dalhousie. King's College students thought they'd be getting the pass as well, since Dal and Kings share many things, such as classes, profs, and many university services. Turns out, that's not the case. King's wasn't included in Dal's negotiation of the U-PASS.

Women candidates
Reporter: Michal Roberge michal.roberge@dal.ca
Women play an active role behind-the-scenes of campaigns, but they are rarely ever candidates. For instance, in Nova Scotia out of the 51 candidates running in this year's Federal election, only seven are women. To explore the reasons why, Michal Roberge speaks to Brigitte Neumann, the Executive Director of the Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women. One of Neumann's projects is an annual campaign school for women interested in running in an election. She has some interesting things to say as to why women candidates are so hard to find.
