| The Students' Society's Legislative Council passed a motion last Thursday to join the Table de Concertation, a lobbying collective of Quebec university students' societies.

EDITORIAL: McGill gets the TDC shaft
All students are equal, but some are more equal than others. That's the basic principle behind the voting system for the Table de Concertation, a new association of which the Students' Society will soon be a founding member. EDITORIAL: Afghan democracyWinston Churchill quipped that "democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." That's worth bearing in mind when evaluating recent events in Afghanistan. This past week, a proposed law to regulate Shia marital relations sparked outrage in the international community-and rightly so. - YOU HAD AN OPTION, SIR: More government isn't always a bad thing

ART: All they were saying was give peace a chance
Forty years ago, John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged a week-long bed-in for peace, donning pajamas and chanting "Give Peace a Chance" in Suite 1742 of Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel. As Lennon and Ono explained their feelings about the Vietnam War to the global media, their hotel bedroom became a forum for spreading their message of hope, peace, and love. - POP RHETORIC: Bigger than The Beatles

There's a pretty good chance the player you landed on deserves to win the McGill Tribune Female Athlete of the Year award. Goaltender Charline Labonté, who won the award for the past two years, allowed only 40 goals in 37 games, but had 12 fewer shutouts this year (14) than last year (26). - Tribune Athletes of the Year: The year's top athletes, by skate and by stroke
