A University of Calgary student paid his tuition with more than 90 kilograms of nickels and dimes Monday, protesting the university's recent decision to stop accepting credit card payments.
Undergraduate political science student Teale Phelps Bondaroff told CBC News that he paid his spring session tuition in nickels and dimes because "the government and the university are nickel-and-diming students."
Phelps Bondaroff said his $1,037 tuition payment, to cover two classes, weighed more than 90 kilograms and was toted to the finance office in a wheelbarrow using "brute strength and determination." He said the weight nearly broke the wheelbarrow.

| Total lunar eclipses often make the moon appear red |
Comment: Well, even if the good minister is correct in his scientific calculations, 2015 doesn't seem that it will be an auspicious period, given the events described to have happened during previous tetrad eclipses. Keep also in mind that - always according to the minister - it is the appointed time of the Hebrew god's feasts!
