Solidarity
By Mike Hayes and

On Western’s campus, two groups
are waged in a tense debate about
the lobbying future for graduate
students.
On one side, some students
have expressed dissatisfaction with
the operations and lobbying efforts
of the Canadian Federation of Stu-
dents, of which Western’s Society of
Graduate Students is a member. A
petition to initiate a referendum on
continuing membership with the
CFS was circulated earlier in Sep-
tember.
CFS supporters comprise the
opposite side, including the presi-
dent of SOGS, Rick Telfer, who initi-
ated a counter-petition in October.
The dispute comes at a time
when 12 other university student
unions across the country are
engaged in petition campaigns to
address their membership with the
CFS.
For the average student, this is a
perplexing debate to untangle. The
CFS and its supporters attest to the
organization’s diligent lobbying on
behalf of students and its various
successes throughout almost three
decades, ranging from tuition
freezes to initiatives on a range of
social issues.
Its opponents, as cited in arti-
cles from various other campus
newspapers, have alleged there is
internal corruption within the
CFS, alongside a lack of trans-
parency.

WESTERN’S DAILY STUDENT NEWSPAPER • EST.1906 • VOLUME 103, ISSUE 41
The organization currently
known as CFS has a long history
stretching back to 1981. Since its
beginnings, the organization has
grown to encompass hundreds of
thousands of students across the
country.
“A secondary aim of the
counter-petition is to
raise awareness about
the secret agenda of the
Conservative party
activists who are lead-
ing the attack on the
Federation.”
—Rick Telfer,
president of the Society of
Graduate Students at Western
Such growth has not been
without limitations and contro-
versies. In the early 1990s, several
students’ unions departed from
the organization, creating the
Ontario Undergraduate Student
Association and Canadian
Alliance of Student Associations,
of which Western’s undergradu-
ates are a part.
Yet this year, in which 13 differ-
ent students’ unions across Cana-
da have put forward petitions to
address their membership in CFS,
stands as potentially a defining
moment in the history of Canada’s
largest student lobbying organiza-
tion.

Students to be compensated for loss of service

Students will have to pull out their

morning.
Amalgamated Transit Union
Local 741 has confirmed they will
completely withdraw service, as of
Monday, Nov. 16.
Although the London Transit
Commission website noted they
will continue to provide a safe,

vice, the outlook is bleak.
Emily Rowe, president of the
University Students’ Council, met
with the union president yesterday
morning to discuss the strike.

“He said the only way [the possi-

there were a miracle — and he

said. “It’s safe to say they will be

During Wednesday’s USC meet-
ing, Rowe and Dan Moulton, vice-
president university affairs, assured
council they, in co-operation with
the University, are examining all
possible options for students.
According to Rowe, the contract
between the USC and the LTC
states if service is withdrawn for
more than 72 hours, the commis-
sion is required to refund 52 cents
to each student per business day.
“That money will go back to the

students 100 per cent, whether it be
[through] giving them another kind
of service, or [refunding it],” Rowe
noted. “Fifty-two cents will be
much more effective going into the
collective whole to help students, as
opposed to collecting the money
individually.”
While some students agonize
over the potential walk to school on
Monday morning, others will be
more adversely affected.
“The loss of public transit is dev-
astating to bachelor of education
students,” Vince Cifani, USC coun-
cillor for the faculty of education,
said. “Our elementary and sec-
ondary school practicum have
begun and with placements
stretched as far as the farthest bus
route, we are left to our own devices
on how to get there.”
Cifani added attendance for
practicum is non-negotiable, and
an absence of three days will result
in an immediate fail.
Rowe mentioned the USC will
continue to meet with the Universi-
ty in order to determine the most
appropriate course of action to
serve students in the event of a
strike.
Concerned Londoners will meet
this afternoon between 3 and 6 p.m.
at Victoria Park to rally in support of
an agreement between the union
and LTC.

Reforming the Federation
On Oct. 15, the Post-Graduate Stu-
dents’ Society at McGill University,
along with six other student unions
released a 46-page reformation
proposal, claiming there was a
“wave of dissent” against some CFS
practices.
The package included 43
motions to reform the organiza-
tion, such as releasing the salaries
of executives and separating the
main body of CFS from CFS-Ser-
vices, which operates discount cell
phone and travel businesses.
Ladan Mahabadi, the vice-pres-
ident of external and governmental
affairs for the McGill PGSS, said
each motion will be reviewed and
discussed separately by CFS.
“I’m glad to see the motions
were included in the annual gener-
al meeting for consideration,” she
said of CFS’ reaction.
“But I’m also very disappointed
in a response that was circulated by
the CFS to other local members and
supporters that they called the
motions a series of false and mali-
cious claims. That they labelled our
reform as an internal matter is also
disappointing.”
Geoff Bardwell, a PhD candidate
at Concordia and a former gradu-
ate student at Western, said the stu-
dent population at the university is
united against CFS.
“The feeling here is not just with
graduate students, but with all stu-
dents, not just limited to the uni-
versities,” he said via e-mail. “While
there are some people here who
support the CFS, they are within the

minority.”
Surrounding the issue of the
motions was a claim widely report-
ed by campus media, indicating the
national office of CFS had sent
“cease and desist” letters to CFS-
Quebec.
Molenhuis explained there was
a misunderstanding on behalf of
CFS-Q with the whole issue.
“[CFS bylaws] call for an election
process that wasn’t adhered to [with
CFS-Q] and now there’s some indi-
viduals who are alleging that they
represent the Quebec component
of the federation as spelled out by
[our bylaws],” Molenhuis said.
“That’s not the case though, and
that’s why we’re in the situation
we’re in right now.”
The reformation package
arrived at CFS’ doorstep just days
before Concordia’s student union
submitted a petition to hold a ref-
erendum assessing their member-
ship in the Federation.
According to Mahabadi, the two
movements are independent of
each other.
Partisan Politics and
the CFS Debate
Since the first rumblings of peti-
tions on various campuses began to
circulate in the early fall, there have
been accusations thrown back and
forth by both those who would wish
to stay with the CFS and those hop-
ing to leave.
In many cases, supporters of the
CFS have pointed to Conservative
party involvement with many
defederation movements. The web-
site www.cfswatch.ca is a part of the
Ontario Progressive Conservative
Campus Association. This fact, cou-
pled with numerous reports in the
spring of this year regarding Con-
servative party involvement with

campus conservative groups, have
led many to criticize the defedera-
tion movement as a partisan attack.
In a personal blog post, SOGS
president Rick Telfer alluded that
the main supporters of the petition
to create a referendum have strong
Conservative party ties.
These views have drawn their
own criticisms from individuals
seeking to leave the Federation.
One such group, comprised
mainly of Concordia University stu-
dents, created a public “Open Let-
ter from the Left,” in an attempt to
argue criticism of the Federation
does not necessarily require parti-
san support.
Beisan Zubi, one of the signers of
the letter and former chief electoral
officer at Concordia, explained her
hope to see the organization change.
“I am extremely progressive,”
Zubi said. “I do not identify with any
Conservative party ideological slant
… I think it’s a diversionary tactic.
“Can we be critical of the stu-
dent movement?” she added. “Can
we ask about issues like trans-
parency and accountability and
open participation to every mem-
ber?”
Molenhuis expressed his regret
at the idea of the debate surround-
ing the CFS being “hijacked” by
partisan arguing.
“I don’t like to see partisan poli-
tics taking place,” Molenhuis said.
“This is a student movement and
we should be working towards
more accessible, affordable, high-
quality post-secondary education
at all times.
“That’s the conversation I’m
interested in having — not levying
accusations.”

THE CFS DEBATE
In Their Own Words
“Our decision-making body is a
democratic one and [member
unions] are able to change the
structure of the Federation,
they’re able to change any of the
bylaws or policies of the Federa-
tion to make them more accessi-
ble […] We’ve done a lot of work
to make sure that that happens.”
—Dave Molenhuis,
CFS National Treasurer
“I have had some recurring
questions and criticisms of the
CFS that I’ve been dealing with
for awhile, and it seemed like
nobody was really articulating
just how frustrating it is dealing
with an organization that sees
any voice of reform as a dissi-
dent, aggressive posture that
must be taken on immediately
and squashed in order to main-
tain some sort of progressive,
unified student movement.”
—Beisan Zubi,
former Concordia
Chief Electoral Officer
“To us I think the issue [of hold-
ing referendums on continuing
membership] is not an ideolog-
ical one as it’s been labelled.
Rather it’s an issue of justice and
improving what is the student
movement in Canada on a level
that has nothing to do with Con-
servatives, NDPs, Liberals, or
any of these labels [...].”
—Gregory Johannson,
President of (now-defunct) CFS-Q
“It’s the only national student
organization in Canada that has,
for years, tenaciously fought for
ordinary students and their fami-
lies, and for a vision of post-sec-
ondary education that guarantees
equality of access for all regardless
of socioeconomic background,
and regardless of those other
vicious social barriers that serve to
divide rather than unite us — like
homophobia, transphobia, sex-
ism, ableism, and racism. It’s cer-
tainly not a vision favoured by
Canada’s ruling elite.”

Colonial Elegance mixes multimedia and humour
Unorthodox exhibit shows “there’s nothing elegant about colonialism”
By Lauren Moore
Gazette Staff
Forest City Gallery is avoiding con-
vention with Colonial Elegance.
Created by Quebec artists, Carl
Bouchard and Martin Dufrasne, the
exhibit challenges paradigms of
colonialism. They explore relation-
ships by using a variety of materials
and presentation forms, from pho-
tographs to 3D pieces.
“The show is called Colonial
Elegance, and everyone knows
that there is nothing elegant about
colonialism. They’re confronting
your view of the exotic,” Forest
City Gallery director Jason
Schiedel says.
Spectators are greeted by an
overwhelming number of featured
works upon entering the gallery.
The display serves a distinct pur-
pose — “Everything that you see
has been totally tailored. There’s not
a surface here that hasn’t been con-
sidered,” he says.
Scheidel praises the metamor-
phosis accomplished by Bouchard
and Dufrasne.

friendship to rivalry and lust are all
presented with a comedic influence.

Forest City Gallery director
“We wanted our work to be
more humorous, to have a kind of
twist and to be more theatrical,”
Dufrasne says.
The installation uses unortho-
dox media. For example, a wood-
en fence bound by gold chains in
the middle of the gallery serves to
conduct traffic as well as demon-
strate a feminine twist on colo-
nialism.
“This material, this culture, it’s
also a cliché or an archetype of
men’s work,” Dufrasne remarks.
The mixture of harsh and soft
lighting in the exhibit generates a
semi-theatrical experience. The
unique arrangement of the art-
work ensures the spectator will
be occupied throughout their
entire visit.
“It’s always about consideration
of the total experience. It’s almost
cinematic,” Schiedel says.
As one of the founding artist-run
centres in Canada, Forest City
Gallery is constantly looking for
alternative approaches in its pre-
sentation of artwork.
“You get to do painting shows
and sculpting shows, but installa-
tion is a very different kind of
approach,” Schiedel says.
By featuring diverse Canadian
artists, the gallery hopes to provide
unique artistic cultural perspec-
tives to the London community.
Colonial Elegance is an experi-
ence — with coloured walls and
seemingly incoherent displays, For-
est City Gallery fosters an environ-
ment that allows viewers to explore
issues of colonialism from an
unusual perspective.
Colonial Elegance will be on dis-
play until Dec. 4 at Forest City
Gallery. The gallery is located at 258
Richmond St. Hours are Tuesday-

Mustangs chase three-peat

By Arden Zwelling
Gazette Staff
Mustangs quarterback Michael
Faulds and his Queen’s counter-
part Dan Brannagan aren’t broth-
ers but their rivalry is almost sib-
ling-like.
“We have a mutual respect for
each other,” Faulds said. “We
always get pretty excited to play
each other — we’ve done that
quite a bit over the past five
years.”
The two QBs were neck and

versity Sport all-time passing
mark until the final week of the
season when Faulds edged Bran-
nagan by 97 yards. A week prior
Brannagan’s Gaels defeated the
Mustangs 27-26 in a game that
was considered by many to be an
instant classic.
Now, two days after Faulds was
chosen as the Ontario University
Athletics MVP over Brannagan,
the two will face off once again, in
the 102nd playing of the Yates
Cup this Saturday in Kingston.
The two QBs have been on a
collision course all season with
this Saturday bringing an end to a
university career for one of them.
For Mustangs head coach Greg
Marshall, there is no debate about
who’s had a better run.
“Michael Faulds will play in his
fourth Yates Cup this Saturday
and it probably would have been
five if he hadn’t broken his hand
in his second season,” Marshall
explained. “No knock to Branna-
gan, but this is his first Yates Cup.”
The Mustangs will need more
than just consistent play behind
centre to beat Queen’s on Satur-
day. The last time these two teams
met, the Gaels escaped with a
one-point victory on a Blaise Mor-
rison touchdown with 13 seconds

“Our defence took a lot of the
blame for that loss against
Queen’s the first time but there’s
so many points offensively that
we left off the board,” he said.
“Our defence played really well
against Guelph and Laurier in the
playoffs. They’re pretty eager to
face Queen’s again.”
Nagging injuries to Faulds and
running back Nathan Riva could
pose a challenge to the Mustangs
offence as they chase their third-
straight Yates Cup championship.
Both players were visibly limping
in the Mustangs semifinal victory
over Laurier last Saturday.
“[My knee] is hanging in there.
Only three more weeks — that’s all
that matters,” Faulds said of his
injury. “At this time of year when
you’re playing in the playoffs,
everyone is banged up. It’s just a
matter of how you fight through it
and how you can deal with it.”
Marshall downplayed Riva’s
injuries, saying reports that Riva
was playing hurt have been exag-
gerated. The sophomore back has
paced the Mustang offence
throughout the post-season,
putting up 450 rushing yards in
the Mustangs two playoff games.
However, Marshall said he would
not be relying too heavily on his

Turkiewicz snipes the Pipe
By Grace Davis
Gazette Staff
After scoring three goals in men’s
hockey’s weekend sweep against
York and Waterloo, right-winger
Keaton Turkiewicz snatched this
week’s Purple Pipe for his outstand-
ing play. After an impressive playoff
performance in his first year at
Western last season, Turkiewicz, a
former OHL player, has seven goals
and four assists this season.
Turkiewicz took some time to sit
down with the Gazette to discuss
offence, the Memorial Cup and
keeping things loose with the team.
How long have you been playing
hockey and why did you start?
I’ve been playing since I was
four or five. My dad got me into it;
he played professional hockey, and
growing up in Brantford, hockey
was always around.
What can we expect to see from the
team this year?
We have a lot of returning guys.
Losing in the national final game
was probably the hardest thing our
team had to go through, and we
knew we would have a lot of work
to do. We know how hard it was in
the playoffs. We had a couple of big
wins but it could’ve gone either

way, so we know it’s not going to be
a shoe-in to get to nationals again.
In terms of style of play, what will
Western be known for?
It’s got to be offence. We have a
lot of guys that can put the puck in
the net; even our defence is going
to be putting up numbers. We’re
going to be a wide-open team,
moving the puck and using our
speed to play smart hockey.
What was it like playing in the
OHL?
It was awesome. I started up in
Sudbury then got traded to the west
[division] in Windsor then went
east to Belleville, so I was all over
and met a bunch of awesome guys
along the way. In the last year, we
made it to the Memorial Cup. We
had an awesome team that year.
Which NHL player do you respect
the most and why?
My favourite player is probably
Wendel Clark. I’ve always been a
Leafs fan, and he was a captain
there. He put the puck in the net
and he fought and he was just a
tough guy. He just had a big heart
and I admire that.
Favourite hockey memory?
Definitely scoring the overtime
goal in the Memorial Cup in Kitch-
ener two years ago.
The hockey team travels quite a bit.

What does the team normally do to
stay entertained?
At restaurants we’ll play little
games like sneaking around the
tables and putting butter or condi-
ments on someone’s shoe to keep
the guys on their toes. We usually go
after the new guys on the team. We’ll
always get a couple of laughs but
nothing too harmful happens. When
we went to nationals last year, guys
[who] left their rooms open might’ve
gotten their beds flipped apart.
When you go out, are you normally
the wingman or the pilot, and what
is your best pickup line/strategy?
Neither right now because I
have a girlfriend. I’m not really one
for pickup lines but I guess I would
just scout out the situation and play
it from there. Maybe try to get them
out on the dance floor and loosen
up the shoulders.
Who’s the clown on the team?
We have a bunch of funny guys
in their own ways. Our captain, Luc
Martin, is pretty funny. He’s always
trying to throw out clever one-lin-
ers that sometimes are, sometimes
aren’t — but he’s pretty good. Kyle
Lamb is always pretty good for a
story. He’s always got something up
his sleeve. Whether the stories are
true or not, I don’t know, but he’s
always got something to say. Laura Barclay/Gazette
