A week without home

Five students sacrifice daily comforts for charity

Mason Pitzel

For most University of Regina stu-
dents the stress of papers, midterms,
and finals is their biggest worry.
Though most students aren’t living
with financial abundance, homeless-
ness isn’t a realistic threat – at least
not one that is on many students’
minds.
But, for five University of Regina
students, homelessness will be a real-
ity for five days. Since Sunday, March
13, five students from various faculties
have been participating in 5 Days for
the Homeless, an event which requires
its participants to live as if they were
homeless.
For five days, the selected five stu-
dents will reside on campus grounds,
sleeping outside, while continuing to
attend all classes. With the exception of
a sleeping bag and pillow, they sacri-
fice personal luxuries, including food
and beverage, having to survive solely
on donations.
The University of Regina isn’t the
only university participating in the 5
Days for the Homeless. The event –
which originated at the University of
Alberta’s School of Business in 2005 –
includes 23 universities and colleges
from across Canada, up from 2010’s
19 participating institutions. This is the
University of Regina’s second year in-
volved with the campaign.
Ally Pilkey, in charge of media for
the event, reflects on the growth and
the importance of the project.
over the 19 universities last year, that
grew to 23 this year. The overall cam-
paign has raised over $500, 000 for the
community.
“The goal is to raise ten grand; that
is our monetary goal.”
But besides the monetary gain
from the campaign, Pilkey stresses the
power of awareness.
“It’s a large issue in Regina, home-
lessness, and we just want to make
people are aware of it,” she said. “That
one in three homeless in Regina is
youth, and basically to show that busi-
ness students don’t just care about the
bottom line, but that they also care
about giving back to the community.”
There are more than just business
students involved with the event. The
five students participating come from
an array of faculties. There are two
business students, fourth-year Matt
Styles and second-year Marit Johnson.
First-year pre-journalism student
Khang Nguygen is also involved, as
well as pre-medical student Ezekial
Steve. The fifth participant is third-
year kinesiology student Brady
Johnson.
As a kinesiology student, Johnson
believes that she would never have
heard of 5 Days for the Homeless –
much like many of her other friends in
her faculty – if she hadn’t known
someone involved with last year’s
project.
“I had a friend participate in the
past and seeing his experience, and
how influential it was within school
and the city really made me want to be
a part of it,” said Johnson. “Another
of not having necessities, not know-
ing where you’re sleeping at night. The
challenges I’m facing this week are
nothing compared to the challenges
that many people in the city face.”
What Johnson and the other par-
ticipants have to endure and sacrifice
is trivial compared to the hardships
that hundreds of homeless young
adults that have sought shelter at
Carmichael Outreach have to face.
Johnson admits the hardest thing to
sacrifice is the modern luxuries.
Forgoing the gym and healthy eating
habits will be part of Johnson’s strug-
gle.
“[The hardest thing to give up] for
me is the safety and security and being
connected to people through social
networking, through Blackberries,
Facebook, and Twitter,” Johnson said.
Many people don’t know, or un-
derstand, the everyday challenges that
homeless people in Regina – and in
the country – face. If someone can’t af-
ford basic necessities like shelter or
food, other things like education are
almost always out of the question.
Pilkey and Johnson both found, in
the face of issues like homelessness,
they were able to count their blessings.
“Students should care [about
homelessness] because they are very
fortunate to go to school and there are
a lot of people who aren’t. If they are,
it’s much more of a struggle for them,”
said Pilkey. “It’s very important for
students to be aware of what has been
given to them.”
“Everything is so different from
my everyday life, from what I’ve been
able to make a difference, to provide
opportunities to those who may not
be as blessed,” agreed Johnson.
Making a difference is particularly
difficult when the issue isn’t as well
known. Youth homelessness, specifi-
cally, is an overlooked issue, especially
among the university demographic.
“Its such a hidden issue for uni-
versity students,” said Pilkey.
Johnson agrees, “They should care
because, right now, one in three home-
less people are youth. This has a huge
effect on the people around us, for
many jobs and occupations. People
will be dealing with it and maybe
faced with it in the future. It is always
an issue. It is always going to be there,
taking steps to improve it now will
only better it.”
With the recent affordable hous-
ing crisis in Regina, people may be
faced with it at a rapid and alarming
rate. Carmichael Outreach, the
University of Regina’s beneficiary for
both 2010 and 2011’s 5 Days for the
Homeless, is an important organiza-
tion for addressing these issues.
“Carmichael Outreach really fo-
cuses on sustaining and improve-
ment,” said Johnson. “Any donation
and any awareness are going to be
used to the fullest and go the longest
way. Every penny has a really big im-
pact.”
Pilkey also appreciates the sup-
port of the community in making the 5
Days for the Homeless possible, specif-
ically the Hill business students’ soci-
ety and her committee.
According to Pilkey, the 5 Days for
the University of Regina plans to con-
tinue doing as an annual event.
Johnson also hopes that it remains an-
nual, as well as something that gains
more attention and recognition.
“I want it to become more well
known,” said Johnson. “There were 19
universities that participated last year,
and now there are 23, so it is spreading
the word nationally, for one. It will
have an impact across the nation.
Spreading the word across the city will
also have a huge impact.”
Pilkey hopes that students got in-
volved this week, and continue to get
involved in any future 5 Days for the
Homeless events. She urges students
to donate at 5days.ca.
As Pilkey said, “It’s a good idea to
give back to the community.”
“ The challenges
I’m facing this
week are nothing
compared to the
challenges that
many people in
the city face.”

Sparks fly at
URSU forum
Candidates forum introduces
possible future URSU board and
executives to the school
Dan Shier
martin weaver
contributor
Students and URSU candidates gath-
ered in the multipurpose room on
Mar. 10 for the first of two forums
for the last week of campaigning. The
event kicked off at noon with a quick
introduction followed by an opportu-
nity for every candidate to speak to
the audience. The speeches lasted for
the better part of the hour and then,
at 12:51 p.m., an open mic question
period began.
In total, there were about 50 stu-
dents in attendance, as well as local
media.
Brigid Mcnutt, a second-year
pre-journalism student, was one of
the students in attendance. “I wanted
to hear what everyone had to say and
I wanted to see who was running and
what everyone has to offer. It’s an
easy way to find out what everyone’s
platform is.”
She felt that there could have
been more people present. “I guess
people probably didn’t care. People
probably had classes. Basically, peo-
ple who are already involved were
there rather than the people they are
trying to reach out to.”
The questions from the first fo-
rum ranged from explanations for
general platform ideas to statements
directed at specific people.
Unfortunately, not all candidates
were able to be in attendance.
“It was disappointing that so
many of our candidates had
midterms and commitments so I’m
really looking forward to Tuesday”
said Bart Soroka, VP of operations
and finance candidate from the For
Students slate, referring to the sec-
ond forum on Mar. 15.
“I think the next one will get a lit-
tle more intense. It’s in public, so peo-
ple walking by will be able to see it.
I think most of our candidates have
cleared their schedules so there won’t
be any interruptions,” he added.
Soroka also said he felt the fo-
rum was going to be especially ben-
eficial to the students since it was the
last day allowed for candidates to
campaign. He said that people would
really be able to learn about every-
one’s platforms.
Paige Kezima, VP of external af-
fairs candidate for the Voice of
Students slate, felt that the forum was
a good opportunity to catch the can-
didates in a different environment
other than the classroom.
“I feel that they’re very inform-
ative. A person can prepare for a class
presentation and write their own pro-
file but when you ask them a ques-
tion they don’t really have time to
prepare so you get to see their think-
ing and their strategies.”
Kezima was disappointed that
much of the first debate was focused
towards the presidential candidates.
She felt that more questions should
have been asked to other candidates.
To date, this year’s URSU gen-
eral elections seem to have produced
a lot more excitement than in previ-
ous years.
“In my three years this is definitely
the one that got the most hype. Two
out of four executive positions have
three people running for them, so this
is good,” said Kezima.
Whether the hype will generate a
bigger presence at the ballot box is an
unanswered question at press time,
but candidates just want as many
people to come vote for several rea-
sons.
“These are the people that are
representing you. If the general pop-
ulation isn’t voting, then the people
that are voted in are not representing
the general population,” said
Kezima.
Soroka added that a high voter
turnout can also have a huge impact
off campus too.
“Our voter turnout is basically a
barometer for how much students
care, and if students care URSU can
be effective as a lobbying group for
the country, for the province, and for
the city. Basically if we have a great
voter turnout we can say, ‘We’re here
representing this many students and
we have a voice.’”

Tuesday, while we were going to print;

U of R retains Canadian
Federation of Students
membership
Eighty-eight vote margin confirms continued
membership in national organization
Marc Messett
These pamphlets will be kicking around at least another five years
john cameron
editor-in-chief
Almost six months after University
of Regina students went to the polls,
the results of the referendum on the U
of R Students’ Union’s continued
membership in the Canadian
Federation of Students have finally
been released – and students voted to
stay.
The tally was close. Of the nearly
3,000 ballots cast, 1,414 were in favour
of remaining in the federation as CFS
Local 9, while 1,326 students voted
to defederate. CFS president Dave
Molenhuis released the results in a
letter sent to the Carillon on March
10, and URSU confirmed the results
in a post to their website the next day.
But while the U of R finally has
the results it’s been waiting for, it’s
still tough to figure out why numer-
ous delays, including an URSU-filed
court injunction, have kept results
from students, especially since both
parties have known the results since
December 17.
And with each party still airing
grievances against the other – such
as URSU president Kyle Addison’s
online declaration that, “As happy as
we are that our members finally have
the results, were [sic] disappointed
by CFS’s tactics of refusing to work
with us” – it’s possible that we may
never get direct answers.
In a press release titled “CFS to
release referendum results, leaving
questions unanswered”, URSU de-
tailed how CFS lawyer Eric Johnson
had informed URSU in a letter dated
March 7 that the national advocacy
and lobbying group planned to re-
lease the results of the referendum on
March 9. Referring to the timing of
the release as “convenient and suspi-
cious” based on its proximity to the
URSU elections, URSU’s press release
outlined the union’s position that
“prior issues” – including the eligibil-
ity of provisional ballots, such as
those cast by First Nations University
students – had not yet been settled
and the results therefore remained
under embargo.
In the March 7 letter, Johnson
refers to the second paragraph of an
agreement between URSU and the
CFS that stated, among other things,
parameters for the release of the re-
sults. Although portions of the letter
are blacked, out, the second para-
graph of the agreement in question
states that, in the event that the tallied
provisional FNUniv ballots cannot in-
fluence the outcome, the results are to
be released.
The same day URSU posted their
press release, Johnson sent another
letter to URSU, offering URSU until
noon on March 10 to respond. “Since
sending my letter to you on March 7,
2011, I have not heard from you,”
Johnson wrote. “I would have ex-
pected that you would have commu-
nicated with me directly should you
or your client have had any concerns
... You have not responded with any
concern with respect to any specific
breach of the agreement entered into
on December 15, 2010.”
URSU confirmed this via Twitter
on March 11, writing that “URSU has
not responded to CFS directly, our
position has not changed since the
ballots were counted in Dec. CFS
knows our position.”
In an e-mail interview with the
Carillon, Molenhuis stated that the
timing of the release was a coinci-
dence.
“The Federation had been work-
ing since the vote to ensure all ballots
cast by eligible members, including
those URSU members who study at
First Nations University, were
counted and the results released.
Ideally, the results would have been
released after the completion of the
ballot count,” he wrote. “After re-
quests to release a joint statement an-
nouncing the results with the
University of Regina Students' Union
were ignored, the Federation released
the results.”
Following the release, said URSU
VP external affairs Kaytlyn Barber,
the students’ union will be presenting
a motion at the March 21 URSU board
meeting to ratify the results. She
added that URSU has dropped their
court case against the CFS.
With both sides using press re-
leases and media interviews to talk
around each other, it’s unclear if and
how both parties will work to move
past the division between them that
resulted from the referendum. But
Molenhuis expressed hope that, if
“ “...It is our hope that both parties are
prepared to move forward and work to-
gether to ensure that University of Regina
students are rewarded with the quality of
service CFS is capable of offering.”
March 17 - 23, 2011
the carillon
nothing else, students at the U of R
would become more engaged with
CFS.
“I think a vote of this nature rein-
forces the understanding that in order
for us to achieve victories, our
Federation requires the active in-
volvement and support of the indi-
vidual members,” he wrote. “It is my
hope that the referendum in the fall
will have the same effect as so many
others in the past – a greater number
of students will become involved and
help steer the organization in the best
possible direction in order effectively
work for lower tuition fees, increase
funding to our institutions and to
generally bring about positive social
change.”
And Barber wrote that, while the
close vote indicated that the issue was
strongly divisive, the current URSU
executive “look forward to establish-
ing a positive working relationship
and it is our hope that both parties are
prepared to move forward and work
together to ensure that University of
Regina students are rewarded with
the quality of service CFS is capable
of offering.”
According to CFS bylaws, the
school can’t hold a referendum on the
issue for another five years. So
whether you support the CFS, har-
bour resentment against URSU, are
disappointed in the amount of service
CFS has provided for students, or
anything in between, one thing is for
certain: Local 9 is still a part of the
CFS.
“Students at the University of
Regina will remain united with stu-
dents across Canada to fight for First
Nations University of Canada, re-
duced tuition fees, and increased
funding for post-secondary education
... and will have a voice in the direc-
tion of the student movement,”
Molenhuis wrote.
Whether the CFS will listen to
that voice remains to be seen.

From Bhutanese
refugee to U of
student

World University Service of Canada

(WUSC) is a national campus organiza-
tion dedicated to raising awareness of
refugee issues – and to helping refugees
come to Canadian universities through
the Student Refugee Program.
With the financial assistance of the
University of Regina Group for Refugee,
an organization made up of faculty and
university employees, the local chapter of
WUSC sponsors two students annually
through the Student Refugee Program,
and its members help those students ad-
just to life in Canada.
To raise awareness for the Student
Refugee Program and the plight of
refugees around the globe, WUSC will be
hosting a mock refugee camp at the U of
R on April 4 and 5. WUSC’s Jessica
Brown says the event “will highlight the
stories of the students sponsored by the U
of R, and provide an experience for the
campus population and Regina commu-
nity to experience the sights, sounds and
smells of a refugee camp.”
Over the next three weeks, with the
assistance of WUSC, the Carillon will be
running the stories of three of the U of
R’s sponsored refugee students – written
in their own words.

I was one year old when I left my

country Bhutan and I came to Nepal
with my family in the year 1990 as a
refugee. I spent almost 19 years in
refugee camp with the very worst
environment and a disastrous life.
The houses are not well made, such
as bamboo, thatch and mud. The
United Nations, UNHCR [The Office
of the UN High Commissioner for
Refugees] and other organizations
are involved and helping with food,
education, medicine, and shelter, but
that is not enough.
I had many challenges in my life
and I had a lot of struggles to sur-
vive. It was very painful. There is no
choice in refugee life, everything is
very difficult, like to get a job, to
travel, and more. It is very laborious
to acquire something, or to have a
good future. Sometimes there were
conflict between locals and
Bhutanese refugees. At that time it
was very large risk, local people were
very haughty. There was lots of
crime, violence, and rape. Many peo-
ple were killed because of freedom.
There is no human right, if “Money
speaks, truth remains silent”. Many
people were dying from different dis-
eases like cancer, TB, and pneumo-
nia. They were dying because of
financial problems, and medication
and treatments were not doing well
due to the doctors, because the doc-
tors were not well trained. This is my
experience in refugee camp.
I finished my grade 10 in refugee
school, after I did my intermediate
level in local campus, out of the
camp. It was very difficult to get
good education. I got some support
from UNHCR and Caritas Nepal to
study intermediate level. I had very
hard life in refugee camp but, I had
lots of friends, sometimes they
helped me and sometimes I helped
them. I miss my friends, my refugee
camp, the cultural and natural beau-
ties. Now I am in Canada and I am a
student. I feel a very big difference
between Nepal and Canada. I am
very happy to become a Canadian
resident and I am enjoying the winter
and snow. I have a better future.

Reaction to Piece of pi
reactors Free pie and math. Yeah?
Japan’s earthquake provides new fodder
for the debate over nuclear power

Fukushima plant is well-equipped to

ed kapp
news writer
While an 8.9 magnitude earthquake
and catastrophic tsunami have al-
ready proven to be devastating to
many areas of Japan, the perceived
threat of an impending nuclear melt-
down has many anxiously preparing
for the worst. However, according to
scientists, there may be little need to
worry about such an event unfold-
ing.
After news of the earthquake and
subsequent tsunami broke around
the world, many observers’ attention
shifted towards Japan’s more than 50
nuclear reactors and the possibility
that at least one of the plants might
overheat.
A nuclear reactor core meltdown
occurs when fuel rods, filled with
uranium oxide ceramic pellets
wrapped in zirconium cladding, in
the reactor’s core overheat and be-
gin to melt. From that point it is pos-
sible for the material to get so hot
that it is capable of melting through
its steel shell and potentially burn
through the floor of the reactor build-
deal with potential meltdowns – and
the threat of leaked radiation.
“The good news is this system is
robustly designed. The containment
building is containing the radiation,”
Glenn Sjoden, a nuclear engineering
professor at Georgia Tech, told CNN.
“Those containment buildings
are going to contain the lion’s share
of all of that radiation. There will be
some small emissions but, at the site
boundary, we’re talking low levels.
Way lower than you’d routinely get
at a medical exam or a CT exam.”
Japan’s nuclear energy agency
has declared a state of emergency at
a second nuclear facility after exces-
sive levels of radiation were recorded
in a reactor in Onagawa. It has been
reported that the cooling systems at
all three reactors at the complex,
which were automatically shut down
after the earthquake and tsunami oc-
curred, were once again functioning
properly.
Although it appears that a po-
tential crisis may have been averted, freakingnews.org
Japan’s recent nuclear plant problems
have refueled the heated debate over
nuclear energy.
A math nerd’s Christmas

ing. Proponents of nuclear power

Following the disasters, on
March 11, the cooling systems of two
reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi
Number One nuclear power plant
failed. This led many to believe a
meltdown, not unlike Chernobyl,
was imminent.
On Mar. 12, an explosion de-
stroyed the complex that contained
“Reactor One”. In an effort to cool
the reactor, plant technicians had
been venting steam from the plant.
At press time, amidst rolling black-
outs, plant technicians had begun in-
jecting sea water into the second
reactor and “venting” the hot cores
into the atmosphere.
Japanese officials, along with
most experts, have claimed that the
radioactivity emitted from the vent-
ing process is not significant enough
to cause harm to humans. Japanese
authorities have since admitted that
radiation levels near the damaged
Fukushima plant, at one point, ex-
ceeded legal safety limits.
According to the International
Atomic Energy Agency, the Japanese
government had evacuated 170,000
citizens from within a 20 km radius
of the initial explosion.
Fortunately for those in the af-
fected area, the design of the
have long argued that it is a sustain-
able energy source that reduces car-
bon emissions while producing
virtually no air pollution, in stark
contrast to fossil fuel.
Those who argue for nuclear en-
ergy have long done so, also, from an
economic standpoint. Nuclear energy
increases energy security by decreas-
ing dependence on foreign oil and is
additionally the only viable option
for most Western nations to achieve
energy independence.
In contrast, opponents of nuclear
energy argue that nuclear power
poses many threats to both people
and the environment – including the
damage done from uranium mining,
processing and transport, the risk of
nuclear weapons proliferation, and
the problem of radioactive nuclear
waste. Additionally, those who argue
against nuclear energy contend that
the elaborate reactors themselves are
vulnerable to problems – as evi-
denced by the recent events in Japan.
Although the situation currently un-
folding in Japan may not determine
the fate of nuclear energy, it will cer-
tainly provide fodder for both sides
of the argument in future debates.

To celebrate Pi Day, as the Math,
Actuary, Statistics Student Society
refers to March 14, MASS gave away
five dozen baked pies before an after-
noon of pi-related activities in the
Research and Innovation Center’s
Atrium.
“It’s March 14; our date, 3.14. It’s
a good day to celebrate being a math
nerd ... Pi has existed since anything
has existed, and today is a great day
to celebrate it,” explained MASS pres-
ident Christine Sellinger before the
event began.
Although many may have never
heard of the holiday, Pi Day has been
celebrated for more than two
decades. Pi Day was first celebrated
by Larry Shaw, a physicist at the San
Francisco Exploratorium in 1989.
Twenty-two years later, Pi Day is
still going strong, so much so that
many schools around the world mark
the occasion with celebrations, as was
the case with MASS’ recent Pi Day
festivities.
Starting at 11:30 in the morning,
volunteers from MASS began hand-
ing out free pieces of pie to passers-
by. Following numerous waves of
hungry students, three guest speakers
– Ruhi Ahmadi, Dr. Shahla Nasserasr,
and Dr. Ed Doolittle – gave brief lec-

Women still behind in Ryerson radio

California study reveals female instructors influence
year slander suit

TORONTO (CUP) — Ryerson
University’s campus radio station
was awarded $1,200 in legal costs on
March 3 when a slander case against
them was dismissed.
John Lennon, a main shareholder
in a local entertainment publishing
company John Headley Lennon
Music Limited, brought forward the
case against CKLN.
“In our view, it was frivolous,”
said Andrew Lehrer, vice-chair and
secretary of CKLN’s board.
“I think the court agrees with us
because they sided with us. It took
two years, and we’ve had four court
cases this year alone.”
According to a contract, CKLN
was supposed to give away tickets to
shows and air advertisements for the
company in late 2008.
Lennon claimed his company re-
ceived calls from listeners, mention-
ing that on Sept. 12, 2008 the
company’s advertisement was fol-
lowed by a negative comment from
the announcer.
His goal was to collect $10,000 in
damages for the loss of customers
caused by on-air slander.
“We believe they are responsible
for the duty of their business,”
Lennon told the judge on Feb. 16, the
second last court date.
The Daily Ornellas
Lehrer started his position in
August 2009 and said there was no
record of a request from Lennon for

leged slander occurred until the
month before he arrived.
Lehrer, in his defence, cited the
Canadian Radio and Television
Communication Act, which says that
stations are only required to keep
“logger tapes” of broadcasts for the
previous four weeks.
“My understanding is that we
were only required to keep them for
30 days and the first letter arrived
just over that,” Lehrer had told the
court.
The case was postponed again as
Lennon had failed to file a tape he
brought as proof.
In the final court session, it was
declared that Lennon had no evi-
dence that he had suffered any dam-
ages.
“It’s been more a nuisance than
anything else, having to go to court
and taking time off of work,” said
Lehrer.
“ It took two
years, and we’ve
had four court
cases this year

SASKATOON (CUP) — The gender
divide in education has been clear for
some time: Women are graduating
from high school and undergraduate
programs more than men, and that
split is only increasing with each year.
However, that imbalance reverses it-
self at the highest levels of academia.
Despite the fact that women ac-
count for 58 per cent of Canadian un-
dergraduate enrolments and 56 per
cent of graduate enrolments, accord-
ing to Statistics Canada, women still
account for only 47 per cent of doc-
toral enrolments.
“We have to recognize that there
are still a lot of general and internal-
ized stereotypes that as a society we
impose, which we are slowly over-
coming,” said University of Manitoba
graduate students’ association presi-
dent Meaghan Labine.
“At this point I don’t believe
there is any intention for there to be
less women in PhD programs, but
rather that women as a whole are
learning to see themselves in profes-
sions that only a short time ago were
unobtainable.”
Labine continued on to say that
as more women enter certain profes-
sions and disciplines, that will likely
encourage more women to follow
suit.
This is borne from a study con-
ducted by the University of California
Davis, where researchers examined
female and male students at the U.S.
Air Force Academy. The study found
that a teacher’s gender had little to no
effect on male students, but that “it
has a powerful effect on female stu-
dents’ performance in math and sci-
ence classes, their likelihood of taking
future math and science courses, and
their likelihood of graduating with a
[science, technology, engineering or
math] degree.”
At the U of M, women already
outnumber men in PhD programs in
several disciplines, from arts and ed-
ucation to medicine, where there are
67 women and 49 men enrolled. The
lone architecture PhD student is also
a woman.
But in the areas that women most
often make the poorest showing, they
are still far behind. There are only 26
women working alongside 150 men
to achieve PhDs in engineering, and
in the hard sciences, the division is 44
to 82.
This continuing dearth of women
in doctoral programs for the disci-
plines in which women continue to
be underrepresented at all levels is
disheartening because, according to
the StatsCan report, far more women
holding PhDs decide to go into uni-
versity education and academia than
men.
Of all the doctorate recipients in
Canada in 2007-08, 55 per cent
planned to work. And half of the
women who intended to work after
receiving their degree, wanted to
work in universities and colleges.
These women will be teaching
more young men and women, and
the mere fact of their presence if they
are standing at the front of a science
or math class will encourage their fe-
male students to continue on in their
fields.
The good news, at least for disci-
plines that already boast a healthy
percentage of women at the upper
educational levels, comes in the UC
Davis study. Having women teach-
ing encourages the women who are
studying from them. Their confidence
in their abilities is higher and they
are more likely to obtain degrees.
Determined.
The problem now seems to be en-
couraging more women to continue
from a master’s program to a doctor-
ate, especially in sciences and engi-
neering.
“One method to address gender
imbalance is by promoting gender
equality and balance within the ad-
ministration and faculty,” said
Labine. She felt this would be more
effective than simply “trying to get
more female students through the
door.”
If Labine is going to get her wish,
the gender equality of students and
faculty will need to increase in tan- Like you.

They’re red hot

Variety shows are the spice of life for local comics and a former Roughrider
paul bogdan
a&c writer
What sings, dances, acts, jokes, and
has played professional football? If
you’re curious to find out, check out
Red Hot Riot, a new monthly comedy-
variety show hosted by Regina
comic/improviser Jayden Pfeifer, at
the Artesian on Sunday, March 20.
Pfeifer said the show will resemble a
late night talk show, and will include
stand-up, sketch, improvisation, video
projects, live bands, special guests, and
ten or twelve other things which I can’t
even consider right now.”
Red Hot Riot isn’t a new idea for
Pfeifer. “It’s an idea that I pitched to a
few friends over two years ago, creat-
ing a live variety show that could give
access to all of these performances,”
which Regina is in no shortage of.
“There are tons of talented people in
this city that are very funny. Regina
has an incredible comedy scene; it’s
just that only the audiences of those
shows know about it. I go other places
and come back and think, ‘Wow, the
people here are really talented.’ I think
people can expect a showcase of really
good, smart comedy that takes itself
seriously and has something for every-
one.”
Pfeifer has worked with numer-
ous comedy and improv shows such as
Pass the Hat, the Comedy Grind, the
General Fools, and Combat Improv,
but he claims that Red Hot Riot will
have its variances from previous proj-
ects he’s worked on.
“The biggest difference is that it
doesn’t have one dimension to it; it is
a mix of all comedic forms,” he said. “I
think that what’s very common for im-
provisers or stand-up comics and
sketch artists or musicians is to pro-
duce shows or create work that is only
their thing. Improvisers do improv
shows, stand-up comedians do stand-
up shows, and they don’t mix.”
Pfeifer continued, “From my sensi-
bility there’s no reason why all of those
things shouldn’t be featured together
as part of one consistent show because
they all have things that are very dif-
ferent about them and things that are
amazing about them. I guess the
biggest difference is that I am trying to
create a forum where all of those things
are part of the same unified show as
opposed to having their own feature
shows.”
Red Hot Riot is a distinct show
here in Regina with most others only
featuring a single-sided performance.
“I want this show to be a part of, being
one of those sort of flagship comedy
shows that is doing something differ-
ent than we already have, and giving
access to people that haven’t seen
those things before,” Pfeifer explained.
“I want it to be one of the shows that
helps grow the community more than
it already is.”
He hopes that this unity of artistic
forms will help bring new audiences to
acts that they might not normally
linate; you will get people who like go-
ing to see stand-up or people who like
going to see improv or people who like
going to see bands, but don’t go to the
other things. Those same people will
love all of those same acts; they just
haven’t seen them yet. If I have a mu-
sical act like Belle Plaine, who has a
great following in the city, and her fans
come out to see her, they’re also going
to see a stand-up comic that they’ll like
or an improviser that they’ll like.
Improv people that love going to see
Combat or General Fools are going to
see some stand-up comics they might
not have seen or a band that they
haven’t seen. You start to engender a
love of lots of things for a new audi-
ence, which is sort of [a] motivation
behind this – creating a well-run, well-
produced forum for all of those things
to be accessible to audiences.”
In addition, the show will feature
special guests involved with different
performances in the show. “They
might be a cool celebrity or someone
who happens to be in town that I’m
able to get to the show, or it might just
be a musician that I know, and instead
of making them the musical act, I make
them a featured guest of the night and
have them involved in more than one
facet of the show. It’ll really depend
on who I can get. Some nights it’ll just
be the performers, or some nights I’ll
have a wealth of acts to put on and
there just isn’t room to do a featured
guest, but it’ll definitely be a fixture of
the show over time.”
While the guests might not always
be celebrities, the Red Hot Riot’s first
guest appearance will be from none
other than former Saskatchewan
Roughrider wide receiver Matt
Dominguez. “I want the show to have
an access to anybody who wants to
come see anything; I also don’t think
[having a sports celebrity on the show
is] a crazy thing to do. You don’t see a
lot of football players coming to do
comedy shows, but the draw of it is
that you’re going to get to see Matt
Dominguez in a comedy show; that’s
interesting, and weird, and kind of
cool to know that he’s on board to
come and do that. I want the show to
be able to have access to those things.”
Pfeifer believes that this helps to
further the show’s motive of “anything
goes”. “It’s not strictly ‘we’ll only do
stand-up, sketch, and improv’... I’ll
throw on a mariachi band if I can find
one.” Red Hot Riot
Despite how full and diverse the
lineup is, Pfeifer takes pride in Red
Hot Riot’s tight production and man-
agement. “It is funny, at times ridicu-
lous, but it takes itself seriously. It’s
there to produce a high-quality show.
“ I want the show to have an access to anybody who wants to come
It’s not an open-mic. The show isn’t a
see anything; I also don’t think [having a sports celebrity on the
bunch of guys who threw a thing to-
gether last-minute. The show takes it- show is] a crazy thing to do. You don’t see a lot of football players
self seriously”.
Red Hot Riot will be at the
coming to do comedy shows, but the draw of it is that you’re going

Keep calm and carry on
The Jump Off’s three members are playing for four
Danielle Tocker
On their debut EP, Pillaging, The Jump Off’s dance-punk is as jittery as ever
john cameron
editor-in-chief
A good indicator that members of
any given Regina band are legit is
that, at the last minute, they sug-
gest moving an interview to a food
court so they can grab slices from
Trifon’s.
Another good indicator, of
course, is that they don’t let losing
one member affect how many in-
struments they play during a song.
And that one doesn’t just apply to
Regina bands – there are stories, for
example, of late-period Q and Not U
shows when members of the vener-
able Dischord dance-punk act
would pull out instruments like the
melodica mid-song, to audible audi-
ence gasps.
That’s not to say The Jump Off’s
members are performing weird ac-
robatics in order to play several
things at once or whipping out
kooky instruments mid-song. Since
the departure of their now-ex-
bassist turned them into a three-
piece, however, they do have to find
ways to get by; current bass guitarist
Greg Jessup does admit to occasion-
ally playing keyboard with one
hand and tapping bass notes with
the other when playing live.
But recreating the layered
sounds of their debut EP, Pillaging, is
a challenge they often look forward
to, and a challenge where the effort
“ “...[Harvest King’s Justin Ludwig] says
we sound like The Hives, LCD
Soundsystem, and Fugazi, and who’s
gonna say no to those?”
Higher Learning
The Jump Off have a bit of a connection to the
University of Regina. Drummer Donovan Leutsch
attends the university, and bassist Greg Jessup and
guitarist/vocalist Eric Trylinski are planning on
applying for the Winter 2012 semester.
But Pillaging has another connection to the U of
R – its album art. Evan Obey worked with The
Jump Off to put together the EP’s artwork, which
Trylinski said is “pretty much exactly what we were
looking for,” and designs a lot of the band’s posters
is mostly what counts.
“What we can’t do live, that we
have in the recording, we make up
for by just trying to put on a good
show,” said guitarist Eric Trylinski,
after finishing up his pepperoni
slice. “And what we can’t transfer
onto the CD, like, energy, we make
up for by filling it up with more
parts.”
But while most bands might
counter that by just replacing the
missing band member, Trylinski and
Jessup said that the new dynamic
between themselves and drummer
Donovan Lautsch is too tight and
natural to risk fussing with. And,
besides, it’s more fun to watch them
try and pull everything off live.
“At one time we actually
thought of maybe getting a sampler
or something, but it’s a live show,”
Jessup said. “People wanna hear
live music.”
Added Trylinski, “I’m not op-
posed to sampling. I’m not opposed
to incorporating that in. But it’s a
thing that you take away any im-
provisation you can do live, which
takes a lot out of it. Like, as soon as
you do that, everything’s set. You’ve
gotta play exact right timing ... I like
the freedom a lot more.”
“We have a couple samples we
might use at the show. We’re plan-
ning on making [producer Rob
White] the guy who is cuing those,”
Jessup confessed, before laughing,
“We haven’t asked him yet, but he’ll
Greg Jessup
as well. And he’s a student here at the U of R, too.
Jessup and Trylinski were quite deliberate in telling
me so, since, as they pointed out, the Carillon is
about the U of R and its students.
So here’s a shout-out to U of R student Evan
Obey. Behind-the-scenes stuff like album art is im-
portant, too, especially when said album art is an il-
lustration of some badass-looking mountains. The
Carillon salutes you!
be down.”
Trylinski and Jessup credit
White, who recorded Pillaging’s
rhythm section at Regina’s
Touchwood Studios and the rest of
the tracks in his own basement, for
getting The Jump Off involved with
local punk label Harvest King
Records.
“After we got ahold of Rob ...
there was a lot of things we didn’t
know, and we asked him, ‘Who do
you think would help us out?’”
Jessup explained. “Rob does a lot of
recordings for Harvest King, and he
said, ‘Ask Justin [Ludwig, Harvest
King label head].’ So, I did. It just
started off as him giving us little bits
of help, and before we knew it we
had the Harvest King logo on our
CD.”
Since becoming a three-piece,
The Jump Off have stopped play-
ing several songs, leaving them with
three unreleased tracks and the five
songs on Pillaging. And while the
band doesn’t want those eight songs
– all of which are unapologetically
dance-punk tunes – to pigeonhole
them, they’re not going to take of-
fense to being compared to other
bands whose molds they fit.
“I don’t think we ever get called
something that’s not flattering, so
it’s hard to disagree,” Jessup joked.
“For instance, Justin says we sound
like The Hives, LCD Soundsystem,
and Fugazi, and who’s gonna say
no to those?”
There are other bands listed in
their bio, like At The Drive In and
Franz Ferdinand. There should
probably be others listed, like the
aforementioned Q and Not U, The
Rapture, and The Faint. What those
bands all manage to deliver – hooks
and, ATDI possibly excepted, dance-
able grooves – are things of which
The Jump Off has no shortage.
The Jump Off will be playing
The Exchange with Double Down
and The Royal Red Brigade on
Saturday, March 19.
Family ties
Director Carl Bessai talks to Regina
about Fathers and Sons
paul bogdan
a&c writer
There is a largely comedic and identifi-
able aspect to family bickering in televi-
sion and movies. Carl Bessai proves this
in Fathers and Sons, the hilarious sec-
ond installment of his planned trilogy
of family-based movies. The film pre-
miered at the Regina Public Library
Film Theatre on March 10. Bessai stuck
around after the film for a question-
and-answer period with the audience to
talk about creating films without
scripts.
Carl Bessai: [The film] was improvised;
there was no script. We had an outline,
and every bit of dialogue was made up
on the spot. Some of the things when
we were shooting the film, I was hear-
ing for the first time, which was kind of
awesome.
The stories were organized as four
separate pieces. We spent a few months
getting together and working out what
the narrative would be. We had a sense
of the beginning, middle, and end, [but]
it was just kind of a free form. It’s some-
thing that I find is a really interesting
way to work. The actors are really good
at improv, some better than others, but
some of these guys come up with really
crazy stuff, and they got to really jump
in as actors and create the movie with
me.
If you’ve worked on films, you’ll
know that actors arrive and have very
specific places where you ask them to
go because of the lighting, and you’ve
got very specific dialogue that you
want them to say because that’s what
the script is telling them. They’re more
limited in what they can do, and
[Fathers and Sons] is a little more of a
theatre experience for the actors ... it
was a really exciting way to explore and
experiment with the form. It was a cool
experience.
Audience Question: How did you do
the casting?
CB: Some of these guys I know, so I
had confidence in certain actors that I’d
worked with ... you sort of get that
word of mouth sense for who’s going to
work; you take your chances a little bit.
I wanted to do this cross-cultural thing,
and I had an idea for a Bollywood drag
[where] the dad [is] a choreographer –
to be gay and do a drag scene because
I wanted to do a choreography thing ...
because the typical South Asian father-
son story is the son who’s gay and has
to deal with the conservative parent ...
that was my only idea [for the film],
but I didn’t know who [would play the
part]. I had a casting director work with
me, and she would set up these meet-
ings for me with actors because you
can’t really audition them; you’re just
sort of feeling it out. I would meet [the
actors] and try to figure out who might
be good together and if people had
worked together, it was always a plus.
We did this already with the
women in Mothers and Daughters, so it
was kind of a dry run with the same
structure and same idea. I got a struc-
ture in place so that I knew how to
shoot the film, and I also knew what the
interviews [in the film] could be used
for. The first time I did this, I was really
fishing and had no idea how it was go-
ing to work. It’s a big editing job.
It’s kind of like making a documen-
tary – you sit there with three or four
hours of crap, and you have to go,
“What’s the essence?” So my editor is
one of the guys I give a writing credit to
in the end because just as the actors are
making up their dialogue, he’s the guy
sitting there with me really shaping
what the narrative is going to be. It’s
not the normal way to make movies.
You don’t have any rules, and you don’t
know if it’s going to work or not.
AQ: What will the tone of Sisters and
a&c 9
Brothers [Bessai’s upcoming film] be in
comparison to Mothers and Daughters
and Fathers and Sons?
CB: You go with the tone that the actors
are giving you. In Mothers and Daughters
it’s a little sweeter, and a little more
emotional. [It’s] less crazy – no knife
fights. It’s got its quirkiness, but it’s a
little more serious, I would say. I think
it’s the nature of the relationship. With
[Fathers and Sons] there’s just more
chaos and misunderstanding coming
out of the actors’ story ideas and be-
haviour.
When we went out to do the sib-
lings film, Sisters and Brothers, and I’m
thinking it’s going to be hilarious, I
found there’s always so much tension
and rivalry in the siblings. You see a bit
of it in Fathers and Sons, which has its
humourous side, but there’s this gen-
uine, tense rivalry that seemed to keep
coming out in Sisters and Brothers. I
don’t know; I’m just starting to cut it
now. I just have this feeling it’s not su-
per funny, but you don’t know, right?
AQ: How did you arrive at the three
chapters (Mothers and Daughters, Fathers
and Sons, and Sisters and Brothers)?
CB: You start with one, and you think,
“Well, I’m not sure how it’s going to
go.” The first film was a total experi-
ment; I won a film prize. It was $12,000.
I had never really shot a no-money, lo-
fi film since my very first movie. I was,
at the time, very frustrated with how it
was always about chasing movie stars.
I really felt that this process was about
working with artists, working with cre-
ative people, and not spending all this
time chasing money and doing all this
nonsense that you have to do to make
movies.
It was this kind of personal em-
powerment, but I had no idea it would
work. It was so satisfying to see it actu-
ally work ... once you get past what the
distributors are telling you and what
you want to see, once you actually ac-
cess real people in a theatre and show
them a movie. I would get these huge
audiences of people [at festivals] to
watch this little, improvised comedy
with no one in it they’d ever heard of,
and they loved it. They were relating to
it. Instead of seeing Meryl Streep on the
screen, they’re seeing some woman
who reminds them of their mother.
There was something about that
which was really empowering ... the
technology is changing to the point
where [filmmakers] have way more
power than we used to ... even when all
the funding isn’t coming together, and
all the industry we, as artists, ask per-
mission all the time to do our work –
“Can I have a grant?”, “Can I have a
job?” I’m going to try to do some web-
based version out of this three-film proj-
ect because it’s just sitting there, and I
like that. I like that you can find a way
to create work even when all systems
are “no.”
AQ: Were the actors speaking in charac-
ter during the interviews in the film, or
were they actually talking about their
real story?
CB: Theoretically, they are in character.
The rule that we had was that they
couldn’t refer to things that happened
in the movie. We shot all the drama
first, and then right after, while it’s kind
of fresh in their mind, I would sit them
down and interview them. I would be
“the filmmaker”, and they were in char-
acter, but because they’re having to
think on their feet, they don’t know
what I’m asking, and they don’t know
what’s coming, they always reach for
parts of themselves ... for me that’s
what you make movies about. If you’re
a writer, that’s what you write about. I
find it hard to believe that anyone cre-
ates anything from the entirely from the
ether ... that’s what I love about the
process.

Hawco’s Republic
A day on the set of CBC’s Republic of Doyle
crimetimepreview.com
robert snow
muse (memorial
university)
ST. JOHN’S (CUP) — When you first
pay a visit to Logy Bay Studios where
CBC Republic of Doyle is filmed, you
might think you’ve come to the wrong
place.
Near St. John, N.L.’s International
Airport sits an unassuming building
that hides a virtual beehive of activity.
Here, a talented cast and crew works
year-round to put together the popular
program about Jake Doyle, a rough-
around-the-edges, but charming, pri-
vate investigator based in St. John’s.
In early December, I was invited to
tour the set of Republic of Doyle and
spent several hours working as a back-
ground performer in a scene from the
current season. Over the course of the
day, I met many of the people who
work on the show, who happily ex-
plained how the program is produced.
It does not take long to appreciate the
impressive impact the show has had
on the provincial television industry.
Creator, executive producer, and
lead actor Allan Hawco took a few
minutes away from a writing session
for the show, which was renewed for a
third season on Feb. 11, to speak with
me.
“There is no way to measure the
positive impact that Republic of Doyle
has had on the local industry. We’ve
upgraded a lot of people, elevating
them to key positions they wouldn’t
have otherwise had without the
show,” he said.
I was introduced to some of these
professionals when I arrived on set.
We went through the standard proce-
dure of filling out waiver forms and
deciding what I would wear in the
scene. Assistants made sure that we
were comfortable and explained
where to find refreshments.
As I got to know the four other
background actors, they spoke glow-
ingly of the production. Robert Evans
has a career in the offshore oil industry,
but takes time when he can to work as
an extra on Republic of Doyle.
“I’m just getting pure enjoyment
out of this,” he said. “The show had
been getting a great response. It seems
like the first really successful show to
come to the province, and I wanted to
get involved with that.”
Like me, many of the people
working as extras that day had no pro-
fessional experience in television prior
to being cast. Kathryn Sears owns a
window business in St. John’s and
praised the production’s broad ap-
proach to casting.
“It’s a great way to bring these dif-
ferent people from all walks of life
onto a television production. I’m a
business owner, and I’ve never been
exposed to anything like this before.”
Hawco agrees, saying the influx of
fresh talent to the show invigorates the
production.
“It’s amazing. There can some-
times be a lot of bitterness on televi-
sion sets. These [less experienced]
people bring a good energy to the
show, and it’s great being around
that.”
Soon, the call came to report to the
set. A crew member led each of us past
some of the recognizable scenery from
the first season, including the office
where Jake Doyle solves cases with his
father Malachy Doyle, played by Irish
actor Sean McGinley.
We were assigned to a scene in a
campaign office that will feature in an
upcoming story arc on the show. A
crew member helped us manoeuvre
around the intimidating pieces of
equipment to a make-up area, and we
were given our direction for the scene.
Suddenly, the room came alive with
set designers, camera operators and a
crowd of lighting and sound techni-
cians.
In the middle of the maelstrom
was Hawco, who in his role as
“showrunner” oversaw every decision
made behind the scenes. Before the
cameras rolled, he could be seen con-
versing with the directors about the
framing of a shot, considering the
lighting and even advising designers
on where to hang the election posters
in our campaign office set.
“Creatively, everything goes
through me; that includes everything
from script approvals, music cues and
casting decisions,” Hawco said. “That
being said, I have a fantastic group of
people around me, a great group of
writers and editors, and I have my
producer partners supporting me.”
Despite the visible success of the
show, Hawco does describe a few of
the challenges he has faced since the
program’s launch in January 2010.
Along with uncontrollable events like
the outbreak of swine flu and the roof
blowing off the studio in a windstorm,
much of the first season was a creative
learning curve.
“We were flying by the seat of our
pants in a lot of ways, but it was a fan-
tastic ride. In season two, we had the
same objectives, but a different plan of
action. We’ve learned so much.”
Back in the studio, we witnessed
Hawco’s words in action, especially
the methodical nature of filming a ma-
jor television show. Even our simple
background tasks, like swinging ham-
mers and answering telephones, were
precisely choreographed.
Throughout the shoot, members
of the production team patiently ex-
March 17 - 23, 2011
the carillon
plained to us how the show is pieced
together.
First, quick rehearsals of the scene
are run. Based on these, adjustments
are made to the position of the camera
or the actions of a background charac-
ter. The director will then film multiple
takes of the scene from one angle, stop-
ping every so often to make a note to
an actor or crew member. This process
is repeated for each shot until the di-
rector is satisfied the captured footage
will tell the story in the script.
One element that stands out in this
process is the sheer number of people
involved, a sight that provides faces
for the hundreds of names that appear
on the show’s credit reel.
Hawco is quick to point out that
the industry was not underdeveloped
before Republic of Doyle came to town.
“We have a very healthy and func-
tioning community here, but it’s diffi-
cult without a continuing series to
keep people working, and to keep
everybody [in the province]. So obvi-
ously when we do have a series, we
can give people jobs from year to
year.”
Hawco acknowledges that a pro-
duction like this can almost be too big
for its own good, in that the people
working on it don’t have much time to
work on other projects. He hopes that,
if the show continues, eventually they
can attract more professionals to the
province and reduce the strain on the
current crew, to allow them to branch
out.
As the scene wrapped, the film-
ing did not slow down. Just as our
group of extras finished, a group of
actors dressed as police officers filed
in. Scenes shot at this studio are sup-
plemented by location shooting in and
around St. John’s. Hawco revealed
that, with the announcement of sea-
son three, the production is turning its
attention to Memorial University.
“Yep,” Hawco paused mysteri-
ously. “But I’m not telling you. But
we’ll definitely be using the univer-
sity as a setting at least once for season
three.”
Currently, Hawco and the writers
are working with a three-to-five-year
plan, with room to expand if the audi-
ence asks for more. For now, he and
the Republic of Doyle team are still
grateful for each episode they get to
shoot and try to improve with every
story.
“Every time we sit down to write
an episode, we’re always overly ambi-
tious. We always think, ‘We’ve got to
make the greatest television episode
of all time.’ That’s our plan: To take it
one day at a time, to make the best
show we possibly can.”

the series really shine. Origins had a 1ot of dorky
stat crunching, sure, but that stuff was fun, in its
own way – you were encouraged to experiment
in order to emphasize your preferred style of
combat. But DAII restricts armour to Hawke

Battle: Los Angeles is a typical summer action
flick – only released in March. The movie prima-
rily follows Michael Nantz (played by Aaron
Eckhart), along with a platoon of fellow soldiers,
as mysterious objects believed to be meteorites
crash into the oceans around the world. The ob-
jects turn out to be alien-made, and said aliens
invade Earth to obtain the natural resources of
the planet.
The movie starts off more like a documen-
tary on American soldiers rather than a tradi-
tional action movie. Most of the characters are
introduced during this section of the film, and
how much the viewer pays attention here will
determine if they will actually care about the
characters throughout or even remember their
names. Soon enough the movie goes into action
mode and becomes a fun and enjoyable ride.
The scenes are shot with hand-held cameras us-
ing jittery movements, which depending on
your point of view is either distracting or appeal-
ing. Regardless, the film is just one more war-ac-
to his fellow soldiers that eventually rallies them
for the climactic battle.
The character of Nantz is not typical, at least
at the beginning. He is neither the underdog nor
the obvious leader; he’s simply an aging soldier
wishing to retire. His relationship with his pla-
toon is explored throughout the movie based
on his past tours in the military that ultimately
comes to a culmination during his rally scene as
previously stated.
Overall, the movie may very well be an-
other non-noteworthy film that doesn’t set itself
apart from others. However, that isn’t to say
that there isn’t enjoyment to be had In the film.
It’s not in the same high-end category of such
films like District 9 nor is it in the low-end cate-
gory of Skyline. Battle: Los Angeles is very much
average but gives the audience what they want:
an exhilarating ride.

Am I friends with Dragon Age II, or am I its rival?
It’s hard to tell. A bit of both, I think. Granted,
I’m basing the question on the game’s relation-
ship system, which is counterintuitive and bro-
ken, so it’s tough to tell where I’d stand between
the two. But odds are good that it’d be around
dead centre.
There is a lot to like about the game. It’s a
welcome return to the land of Thedas, which
remains memorable thanks to some clever sub-
versions of typical high fantasy subject matter –
Elves live in a ghetto! Mages are oppressed! –
and the intricate socio-political systems its char-
acters inhabit. It’s also much nicer-looking than
its predecessor, Dragon Age: Origins, and has
much snappier real-time role-playing combat.
But in several other cases, DAII actually
seems to be totally regressive. Especially egre-
gious is the level design; it’s bad that the game
cycles through the same six maps for its side-
quests, but it’s even worse that the maps are so
boring. The fact that almost every battle boils
and makes gear rely heavily on sparsely-dealt at-
tribute points, which basically railroad your
build choices.
The feeling one gets is that this game was
rushed, big-time, and it shows up almost as soon
as you start playing. Usually, big-budget game
character creators give you a lot of leeway; in
Mass Effect I produced an eerily accurate Montel
Williams, while in Origins I played as legendary
rock producer Steve Albini. I wanted my DAII
character to look like The Wire’s Michael K.
Williams, but the character creator is so shitty
that black people just look like burnt white peo-
ple. Omar came out looking like a toasted Bruce
Willis. I didn’t want to play as any Bruce Willis
so I made my guy look like Gary Oldman in-
stead. Nothing against Gary Oldman, but it was
a bit of a letdown.
Which, now that I think about it, is a perfect
metaphor for DAII.

cd reviews
The Strokes are back, and they’ve brought the
eighties with them. It’s been five long Strokes-
less years since the band released an album, and
at this point fans will probably accept anything
they happen to put out, which is good, because
at some points it sounds like “anything” is what
they were going for on their new album Angles.
When “Under Cover of Darkness” was released,
the first single from the new album, many were
quick to declare a return to form for the New
York band. And while some songs do live up to
the lofty standards set by their first full length,
Is This It, for the most part the new album leans
more towards the abstract style of their last ef-
fort, First Impressions of Earth, only with more
synthesizers. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing,
as FIoE was by no means a bad album, just a de-
parture from the finely-tuned garage rock of
their first two albums. Angles builds on the
strangeness that defined FIoE and emerges
The Strokes
sounding like its own unique entity, while still
managing to capture the essence of The Strokes.
Angles
RCA
Fans of the band should not miss this (like they
would anyway).
Hey, remember Freddie Prinze Jr.’s career? If
Belong is any indication, The Pains of Being Pure
at Heart do. Coming off of 2009’s self-titled
record, which was about as unadulterated as
’90s twee-pop and shoegaze worship can get,
POBPH have cleaned up their production just
enough that most songs would fit perfectly on
the 10 Things I Hate About You or Clueless sound-
tracks. Don’t get the wrong idea, though – that’s
great news. The band’s low-key Belle and
Sebastian-esque vocals sound even better up
against the soaring and atmospheric guitars,
and all the songs are catchy as hell, like an up-
beat Ride or Slowdive, or like a My Bloody
Valentine record where you can actually hear the
drums. It’s full of hooks, edgy guitars, and pop
synths – definitive teen movie anthem material.
Close your eyes while you listen to “Even in
Dreams” and watch Jason Biggs brood over
Kirsten Dunst or something. Cue up the title
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
track and try not to picture Julia Stiles and
Joseph Gordon-Levitt tossing their grad caps up
Belong
Slumberland in the air and getting into their cars to drive
away as the credits start to roll. You and I could
use a montage once in a while, and Belong is
there for us.

Memorizing machines
Critical thinking takes a backseat in univeristy
simplybecauseitis.blogspot.com
dietrich neu
features editor
University is a place of higher educa-
tion. It’s a place where the young
minds of today go to become the lead-
ers of tomorrow. Students eagerly at-
tend classes and pursue their interests
with rigor and enthusiasm. In an ideal
world, this is the place where students’
minds will be opened to a new world
of ideas, and they will be sculpted into
the leaders and great thinkers of to-
morrow. Students spend hours, pour-
ing over material, libraries are filled
with the quite buzz of students study-
ing, flipping pages, clicking key-
boards, and rigorously building their
minds. University is where students
go to take their thinking to another
level.
Unfortunately, according to a new
book titled Academically Adrift, this
picturesque fantasy of a university
campus is nothing more than that, a
fantasy. The book, authored by
Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa, dis-
plays the results of a student survey
done to assess the academic improve-
ment of university students over a four
year period in campuses around North
America. The results were less than
encouraging.
The survey assessed the amount of
improvement students achieve in writ-
ing, critical thinking and in complex
reasoning. What Arum and Roksa
found is that almost half of all students
don’t show “any significant improve-
ment in these skills” during their time
at university, and the ones that do im-
prove, do minimally. The study es-
sentially asserts that many university
students are nothing more than mem-
orization machines, who never de-
velop higher level critical thinking and
reasoning skills.
The issue of critical thinking is
something that has come up in conver-
sations between professors in cam-
puses around the country. Dr. Robert
Biezenski, a sociology professor here at
the U of R, has seen this pattern for
some time. “If the study focuses on
critical thinking, then I’m not sur-
prised by these results.” Biezenski has
been teaching at the U of R for almost
20 years, and as he puts it, the struc-
ture of our current education system
doesn’t encourage students to exercise
the skills assessed in the Arum and
Roksa study. The focus seems to be
less on critical thinking, but more on
memorization and regurgitation.
“We have noticed certain patterns
of thought that have been established
by the time kids get to university,
many of them think ‘well this is what
school is about, this is what learning is
about. I’m supposed to memorize
what the teacher says, give it back to
him on the exam, and then forget it
five minutes later.’ And unfortunately
that is still the attitude that the major-
ity of our students have.”
According to the Arum and Roksa
study, 45 percent of students showed
“no significant improvement in critical
thinking, writing, or complex reason-
ing” over their first two years, and 36
per cent showed no improvement over
4 years. The students who did im-
prove did so by only miniscule mar-
gins.
The reason for this, according to
Biezenski, is rooted in the universities
financial need to align themselves with
individual corporations because of re-
peated funding cuts from the govern-
ment.
“Let’s face it, we live in a culture
and economy today where more and
more of our universities are expected
to serve the interests of the economy in
general and independent corporations
in particular. The government has
been steadily cutting funding to uni-
versities, which has forced universi-
ties, like the U of R, to look to the
private sector. And of course these
people aren’t interested in critical
thinkers, they’re interested in people
who can come up with a new gadget
they can make a million bucks with.
This is a sad, but true fact about
our universities today, and the Arum
and Roska study has illuminated what
many teachers have known for a long
time. Critical thinking and higher-
level reasoning are slowly seeping
their way out of universities.
But why should this be alarming,
is it really important that our universi-
ties are developing students’ ability to
think critically? Biezenski would ar-
gue yes. As he puts it, critical thinking
is not a necessity, you’re not going to
die without it, but society’s growth as
a whole will be slowed by a world of
people who are simply programmed
to do as they are told, and not rock the
boat.
“Society needs critical thinkers,
because if you can’t criticize society,
then you can’t improve. Criticism is
the first step towards improvement.
Unfortunately, we have reached a
point today where hardly anyone is
taught to think critically.”
Without critical thinking skills,
people can’t see the world for what it
really is, and they become susceptible
to deception and manipulation. They
can’t be an impetus in societal change.
If students don’t develop these skills,
they are losing their ability to think
outside the box, and they are learning
to take everything as it is.
The Arum and Roksa study also
pointed to a “lack of rigor” amongst
students being the main culprit for the
upsetting statistics. This means that
for the most part, students were not
willing to dedicate adequate time to
their homework and studying. This is
a more complicated problem, as get-
ting the majority of students to sud-
denly become homework terminators
is an impossible task.
“Everyone is lazy, not just stu-
dents, everyone. Everyone is going to
take the path of least resistance.
Expecting students to change into
some superhuman creatures that al-
ways give maximum effort is just not
realistic. There is always a minority of
students that are excited about school.
But sorry, most students are just trying
to get by, doing very much the mini-
mum amount of work, and I don’t re-
ally think that is ever going to
change.”
But why do most students come
to school if they don’t really want to
learn? The answer is simple and obvi-
ous: the degree. If you take away the
reward of a degree, and the potential
to get a fancy job that makes you lots
of money, the majority of students are
gone. This is a something that
Biezenski has been aware of for some
time.
“No question the attendance at
universities would plummet. It
wouldn’t vanish all together; there
have always been students that are in-
terested in learning for its own sake.
But unfortunately, I would argue they
are the minority. I believe that most
people that come here are motivated
economically, because they know that
you can get a good job these days
without some kind of degree.”
Biezenski said. “If you cut the connec-
tion to the job market, you would only
be left with that minority.”
The next question that needs to be
asked is if there is anything we can do
about the problem? The study also
found that the students with highest
improvements in critical thinking and
complex reasoning were involved in
more challenging classes. It appears
that a simple fix would be to increase
the challenge, make classes harder.
But, the problem with increasing the
workload is that fewer students want
to take part. Like Biezenski noted ear-
lier, the majority of people want to put
in the minimum amount of effort they
can. If they can avoid a challenging
class, most students will.
Biezenski suggests that there is
only one way to get students more
willing to deal with a challenge, and
that is to make classes more interest-
ing.
“I do think it is possible to increase
the level of commitment from stu-
dents, and really there is only one way
to do that, and that is to make courses
more interesting to them, make them
more relevant to them, and make
something that students can relate to.”
And he’s right. If universities can
get students interested in what they’re
teaching them, then the commitment
to excellence will follow. If they can
make students passionate about what
they are learning, it is only natural that
the students will stay engaged in the
material.
“It is viewer identification that is
the ultimate goal for success.”
Biezenski added. “If your audience
identifies with you, if they get it, then
they will go with it. But if they are just
sitting there with some glazed looks
on their faces listening to the professor
drone on, then they’re not going to
stay engaged.”
And if universities can’t get stu-
dents involved in the class, if they
can’t make them care, there is no way
the students are going to do anything
“ The study shows that many university stu-
dents are nothing more than memorization
machines, who never develop higher level
critical thinking and reasoning skills..”

other than the usual routine of memo-
rizing facts and regurgitating them on
an exam, and then forgetting it later. If
a student doesn’t care about the
course, there is literally no motivation
to learn. Students who are truly inter-
ested enough in school to learn for the
sake of learning are a rare breed. But
Biezenski argues that the blame for
this should not be leveled on students.
It is the structure of the education sys-
tem that needs to be changed.
Unfortunately there is no easy fix.
Universities need to make money, they
need to keep attendance up. there are
two way to do this, make classes more
interesting, or make them easy. The
ladder is much simpler and much
more boring. It’s sad to say but easy
classes are a dime a dozen, and they
are clearly more popular. They bring
people in because they are easy, and
they disconnect students with dry ma-
terial that is usually delivered in a way
which is one step removed from read-
ing a textbook. Most people aren’t
here to learn, they are here to get a de-
gree, they are here to get a piece of pa-
per, and if they could get that piece of
paper it without coming to a place like
this, they would.
As the Arum and Roksa study has
shown, nowadays, students are not
developing the skill of critical think-
ing, they are simply memorizing, re-
peating, and repeating again. Critical
thinking and complex reasoning are
part of what help to make someone
smarter. If we do develop critical
thinking skills, we not only grow as
people, but as a society. If a student
never gains an ability to think criti-
cally, then they lose their ability to
solve unique, real world challenges.
They become drones, doing what they
are told, and taking what they are
given. They become followers, not
leaders.

Going out on a high note
Cougars fifth-year athlete Chelsea Valois wins a CIS track and field
gold medal
Martin Weaver
After losing to Rachel McIntosh at the conference championships, Valois got the last laugh at nationals
jonathan hamelin
sports editor
Chelsea Valois saved her best for last.
Competing at the Canadian
Interuniversity Sports track and field
championships in Sherbrooke, Que.,
last weekend, the final competition of
her university career, the University
of Regina Cougars athlete finally took
home a national gold medal. She fin-
ished first in women’s pentathlon with
3,778 points.
“It was really exciting,” said
Valois, a 23-year-old science student
from Zenon Park. “I couldn’t ask for a
better way to end my final year. I am
really happy about it. I worked really
hard and I knew I had a chance. I was-
n’t going to be disappointed if I got sil-
ver ... well, I would have been a little
disappointed.”
In finishing first, Valois also de-
livered a bit of payback. At the Canada
West Championships in Winnipeg in
February, she finished second in pen-
reginacougars.com
tathlon behind Calgary Dinos athlete
Rachael McIntosh. Going into the 800-
metre event at that meet, the final
event of women’s pentathlon, Valois
boasted a sizeable lead over McIntosh.
However, McIntosh won the 800m and
Valois came in fourth, allowing
McIntosh to make up the necessary
points and win.
Heading into the 800m at national
this year, Valois was beating McIntosh
by over 150 points. McIntosh finished
first in the event, while Valois placed
ninth. While McIntosh was able to
make up a lot of ground by winning
the event, she still had to settle for sec-
ond with 3,760 points. Luckily, Valois
didn’t have to finally master the 800m
to win the pentathlon.
“Thankfully, I was able to stay
ahead,” said Valois with a laugh.
One of the reasons she was able to
stay ahead was because of her per-
formance in the other events. She
placed first in shot put and earned sec-
ond-place finishes in the 60m hurdles,
high jump and long jump.
“I was confident that I could main-
tain my lead heading into the final
event because I did so well in my other
events,” said Valois. “I wasn’t really
nervous or stressed out. I was just able
to run my race.”
Valois was able to “run [her] race”
at nationals largely because she was
healthy. She missed the major champi-
onships last season due to a right heel
injury.
“It was a boost to me not having to
worry about injury,” said Valois. “I
took maybe a couple Ibuprofens and I
was good.”
It was Valois’ only medal of the
meet. She placed 11th in long jump.
Merissa Margetts was the other
Cougar on the women’s side to take
home a medal, finishing third in the
300m. She also placed sixth in the 60m.
Chantelle Labrecque finished 10th in
the shot put and the women’s 4x400m
relay team was tenth, while Nicole
Breker (triple jump) and Shalane
Haselhan (high jump) earned 11th-
place finishes. Regina finished 12th

with 19 points in the women’s divi-
sion. The Windsor Lancers won the
women’s title with 151.50 points.
“We had only nine girls, so we
weren’t expecting to make top five,”
said Valois of the women’s team.
“Most of the girls improved on their
performances from the past. Other
teams send 20 or 30 athletes, so they
have more potential to medal.
“I’ve seen a couple of rookies on
this team who’ve show that they have
the potential and the drive to suc-
ceed.”
On the men’s side for the Cougars,
Jeremy Eckert had a lot to smile about.
Eckert was named the CIS field athlete
of the year, picked up a silver medal in
the pentathlon and finished fourth in
high jump.
Eckert’s lone medal of the meet
was not easy to come by.
After finishing seventh in the 60m
hurdles (the first event in pentathlon),
Eckert injured his heel during the long
jump (the second event). Yet, he recov-
ered for a second-place finish and pro-

ceeded to finish eighth in shot put,
first in high jump, and sixth in the
1000m. At 3,618 points, Eckert did not
finish too far behind Alberta Golden
Bears athlete Stephen McPhee (3,661).
The other medal winners for the
Cougar men were David Walford with
a silver in triple jump and Connor
MacDonald with a bronze in high
jump. For Regina, the men’s 4X200m
relay team finished third, Mason Foote
was fourth in the 60m, Tait Nystuen
earned a fourth-place finish in the
600m, Chris Pickering came in fifth in
shot put and Michael Barber finished

Hoop dreams ended
Cougars women’s basketball team fails to advance to nationals
photos by Jarrett Crowe
Laurier celebrates, while Regina is left wonder what could have been
autumn mcdowell
sports writer
The University of Regina Cougars
women’s basketball season came to a
premature end last Saturday night.
The Cougars dropped an 82-67 de-
cision to the Wilfrid Laurier Golden
Hawks in the Canadian
Interuniversity Sports West Regional
final at the Centre for Kinesiology,
Health and Sport. Though the loss pre-
vented them from automatically qual-
ifying for nationals, Regina had a
chance to earn an at-large berth.
However, a committee decided the
next day that the Carleton Ravens
would earn the final berth.
“We need to come out ready to
play every night,” said a tearful Carly
Graham of the Cougars after the loss
to Laurier. “We can’t have those slow
starts. It has been a great season and I
was hoping we’d get another shot.”
After losing to the Saskatchewan
Huskies 77-74 in the Canada West final
earlier in March, Regina became the
host of the West Regional, a four-team
tournament that would give one team
an automatic entry to nationals.
Regina just had to come out of the
weekend with two wins, something
that they have done many times this
season, and their dreams of becoming
national champions would still be
alive.
On Friday, the Cougars faced the
Victoria Vikes, the winners of an at-
large berth who the Cougars had
beaten in a conference quarterfinal.
The Cougars had a trademark
slow start in the game, as they found
themselves down by as many as 13 in
the second quarter. Vikes player
Debbie Yeboah was on fire, as she put
up 10 points in the first quarter alone.
The home-court advantage began
to work in the Cougars’ favour in the
second, as they were able to score 12 of
the last 15 points before the break, cut-
ting the Vikes’ lead down to four.
The Cougars were clearly pumped
up and ready to play in the second
half, as they were able to go for a 10-1
run, getting a hold of the lead in the
process for the first time in the game
since the first quarter.
Regina was clinging onto a three-
point lead heading into the final quar-
ter, but back-to-back three-pointers by
Danielle Schmidt put the home team
up by nine in a hurry.
“Dani Schmidt going 5-for-5 from
the three-point line gave us a huge
spark when we needed it the most”
offered Cougars head coach Dave
Taylor in a written statement on regi-
nacougars.com.
Victoria was nowhere near giving
up, as they were able to string together
a six-point run. But the Cougars were
quick to pounce on the Vikes, as they
put together an 11-point streak.
The large point swing put the
home team up by 14 with just three
minutes left on the clock, and the
Cougars could finally breathe easy as
they finished off Victoria by a final
score of 83-73.
“We struggled again in the first
half, but got it going much better in the
second” said Taylor.
Schmidt finished the night with a
career-high 23 points, while Lindsay
Ledingham and Joanna Zalesiak both
pitched in with double-doubles.
With the win, the Cougars moved
on to face Laurier on Saturday, the
winner of the other semifinal against
the UQAM Citadins, to determine the
regional champion.
Saturday night’s final began in
typical Cougar fashion, a bit slow. The
two teams found themselves in a tight
game early on as they seemed evenly
matched. The first half alone had 11
lead changes.
Regina went into the half down
by five, but that deficit quickly became
much larger as the Golden Hawks
quite simply could not miss.
As the shots fell for the visitors,
the penalties began piling up for the
home team, resulting in Laurier going
on a 14-4 run, and leading by as many
as 17.
The huge third quarter for the vis-
itors featured a 59 per cent shooting
percentage from the field and a 4-for-
5 performance from beyond the arc
that helped Laurier outscore Regina
27-15.
The 17-point hole that the Cougars
found themselves in seemed incredi-
bly tough to climb out of, but the
“ We need to come out ready to play every
night. We can’t have those slow starts. It has
been a great season and I was hoping we’d
get another shot”
sports 15
Cougars kept trying.
In an effort to pull off the victory,
Regina mounted a nine-point run, cut-
ting the lead down to eight with three
minutes left on the clock.
However, Laurier’s unreal shoot-
ing took centre stage in the final min-
utes, as they scored the final seven
points of the game, managing to put
the Cougars away.
After the loss, the Cougars were
not completely out of the running for
a spot at nationals. The Cougars,
Carleton, and Western Ontario
Mustangs were all anxiously waiting
to see which of them would earn an at-
large berth for nationals.
But the last possible ticket to na-
tionals did not go to the Cougars. The
last shot that the three teams were vy-
ing for went to Carleton, officially put-
ting an end to the Cougars’ season.
Although the Cougars’ season did
not end the way that they had envi-
sioned, they did the school proud and
should hold their heads high.

The passion of a student athlete
Bishop’s athletes take pride in playing sports and representing their school
flickr.com
ben lewis
campus (bishop’s university)
LENNOXVILLE, Que. (CUP) — There is an
aura of passion that manifests itself in sport.
We see it everywhere from the school
gymnasium, where a basketball player
calmly sinks free throw after another, to the
baseball diamond, where players work to-
gether to turn flawlessly executed double
plays.
This passion is also found in the student
athlete, regardless of the level of play in-
volved.
Meet Harrison Maloney. As a varsity
football player for the Bishop’s University
Gaiters, he is hardly foreign to passion. The
defensive back is an RSEQ (Quebec’s ath-
letic conference) all-star and second-team all-
Canadian. His main job, as he puts it, is to
“cover your guy, and try to make a play on
the ball. If the play is a run, get off your
blocks.”
It may seem simple enough, but what
many of us do not always grasp is the
amount of work ethic and dedication that
goes on beyond the football field. The hard-
hitting and brutality on the field is one thing.
The preparation is another.
“A lot of people don’t realize how much
time we put into it," Maloney explained. "It’s
basically like a full-time job.”
Just as with any profession, playing foot-
ball comes with numerous responsibilities:
practices, fitness training, studying film, and
special teams meetings, among other things.
And dedication often translates into re-
sults. The team has graced the playoffs in
two of the past three seasons. Gaiters head
coach Leroy Blugh has molded these ath-
letes so successfully, they’ve pushed on pro-
fessionally in the CFL, while beginning to
knock on the door of the NFL as well.
There is always work to be done, though.
“We’re going in the right direction, but
we need make that next step,” Maloney said.
The next step is advancing further in the
playoffs. However, when you’re competing
against top-calibre teams like the Vanier Cup
champion Laval Rouge et Or, nothing comes
easy.
“I think we might be the most physically
talented team in Canada, but we need to be
more poised,” Maloney explained, defining
“poise” as limiting mistakes and establishing
a deeper mental focus.
Beyond the passion found in Maloney’s
character, embedded in it is a deep sense of
pride. Competing in a small school environ-
ment, their team stays close together and is
driven to win for Bishop’s.
If there is one distinctive edge in being a
student athlete with a small school size, it’s
the tight-knit factor. You’re not a complete
team until those friendships are established.
“I know some of the guys I met in my
first year who have left. They’re all across
Canada and I still talk to them,” Maloney
said.
But, beyond the world of varsity athlet-
ics seen in Canadian Interuniversity Sport
and its four conferences, there is another sub-
set of athletes that don’t receive the same
level of focus or support.
sports 17
Meet Mike Dube, a Bishop’s University
student whose craft is the game of lacrosse.
He has not-so-quietly led the Gaiters in scor-
ing the past three seasons and collected hard-
ware this season as the most valuable player
and most valuable attack man.
On the surface, he and Maloney have a
lot of common: the passion, dedication, and
success in their sports.
The difference is that Dube plays for a
club team. Because lacrosse doesn’t generate
the same interest as other sports at Bishop’s
– as is the case in almost every school in
Canada – the team doesn’t receive the same
level of support from the athletics depart-
ment. Thus, he must pay his own way to
play.
While struggles have been prevalent
among other athletic programs at Bishop’s,
lacrosse has remained consistent, with win-
ning records in 10 consecutive seasons and a
stifling 8–2 regular season showing in 2010.
While they suffered a semifinals loss in
the playoffs to the McMaster Marauders this
year, significant progress was made. The
Gaiters revamped their program, putting
more emphasis on fitness as a team.
“It used to be that only a few guys would
go to the gym,” Dube explained. “Now
everyone has to be there at least four or five
times a week.”
The results have shown. With improved
endurance on the field that comes from ex-
tensive fitness training and hard practices,
the lacrosse squad now has the ability to
wear down their opponents.
“We may not always be the most tal-
ented team in the league, but we have the
ability to outwork the other guys,” Dube

ST. JOHN'S (CUP) — Fighting in the
NHL has always been a hot topic for
sports analysts. In recent years, the
discussion has intensified in the post-
lockout era with communication and
a new understanding of concussions.
The game of hockey is slowly
changing its ways to protect its ath-
letes, with a large emphasis being
placed on head injuries. For even
longer than the NHL, the junior
brings to the game, as well as the
policing that goes behind the scenes
of these teams. On the other side of
the coin, there are those who see it as
a barbaric ritual that has no place in
a sporting event, especially not one
where there are no safeguards to pre-
vent serious injury. Nick Frost
Since 2005, fighting majors have
skyrocketed from 466 to 714. This
year, there have already been 497

ranks have been effecting change to
prevent trauma to the heads of young
athletes.
Only since the NHL lockout dur-
ing the 2004-05 season have concus-
sions really been accepted as not only
a viable injury, but the worst type of
injury.
During the ’90s, players compet-
ing in the playoffs could take a hit
that had obviously concussed them,
only to return to the game later be-
cause it was the manly and coura-
geous thing to do.
When New Jersey Devils de-
fenceman Scott Stevens floored the
then Mighty Ducks of Anaheim for-
ward Paul Kariya in the 2003 Stanley
Cup finals, for example, he came
back to score the winning goal of the
game. But perhaps this concussion
was the reason his career has been
derailed ever since.
Stars like Sidney Crosby miss 20
games in a season, with no timetable
for a return, all due to concussions
that probably would have gone un-
noticed, or at least unmentioned, by
the players.
With this in mind, the issue of
fighting in hockey has hit another
level of scrutiny amongst fans and
analysts alike.
fights in the NHL after 60 games. It is
on pace for 690 fights over the course
of the season.
While fighting has decreased in
the last two years – albeit minimally
– it has otherwise seen an increase
year by year since the lockout.
Due to the instigator rule – a rule
that penalizes the player who pur-
posely seeks out a fight – there has
also been a giant leap in planned
fights that take place right after the
whistle.
There are mixed reactions to
these fights, as a lot of true-blue
hockey fans see them less as a part of
the game and more for the sake of
getting it over with.
The NHL has come to a cross-
roads with regards to where fighting
stands in the grand scheme of the
game. Is it okay to let junior and mi-
nor-league players think fighting is
the way to deal with problems on the
ice? Does it affect someone’s attitude
toward adversity off the ice?
Don’t get me wrong. I would be
a very sad individual if I couldn’t

HALIFAX (CUP) — The top-seeded
University of British Columbia
Thunderbirds came away with a
bronze medal last Sunday at the CIS
men’s basketball Final 8, defeating
the Saskatchewan Huskies 111–95.
Coming home empty handed
was not the outcome the defending
champion Huskies expected heading
into the tournament this weekend.
However, UBC was relentless on
Sunday, averaging nearly 28 points
per quarter with their big guns Alex
Murphy, Kamar Burke, and Nathan
Yu. Heading into halftime, UBC had
a comfy 64–46 advantage over
Saskatchewan.
The T-Birds established their
dominance after a monstrous 16–2
scoring run brought on by two tech-
nical fouls on Huskies’ head coach
Barry Rawlyk and point guard
Jamelle Barrett.
Even with the absence of CIS
first-team all-star Josh Whyte due to
a previously undisclosed foot injury,
of the highest scoring teams at the
Final 8, scoring 279 points and 269
points, respectively.
But, if a potent rivalry existed be-
tween these two teams, it wasn’t ev-
ident on the court – a lack of intensity
on the Huskies part that coach
Rawlyk blamed on exhaustion fol-
lowing the loss.
“I just didn’t think our energy
level was there today. I’ll attribute
that to fatigue – it’s been a long week-
end,” Rawlyk said. “We had guys
playing a lot of minutes. It just was-
n’t there for us today.”
Player of the game and fifth-year
UBC guard Murphy was far and
away the most dominant player on
the court, notching 36 points and six
rebounds in his final CIS basketball
game.
“Based on Alex Murphy’s career
– sometimes starting and sometimes
coming off the bench – to have a ca-
reer-high in his last game is an amaz-
ing thing. He just held us together
like glue,” UBC head coach Kevin
Hanson said.
“We are going to miss those
[fifth-year] guys, they have been
great ambassadors for us, and will
guys they can go to.”
Rawlyk claimed afterwards he
maybe would have liked to do a few
things differently approaching the
Final 8, but indicated he probably
wouldn’t have changed anything. It’s
up in the air whether or not Rawlyk
will return to the Huskies program
next season with head coach Greg
Jockims coming back from a year
leave.
“The plan was all along that Greg
is going to come back next season
and he’s going to be the head coach
again next year. Personally, if I’m go-
ing to be back with the program re-
mains to be seen,” said Rawlyk.
“I think Barry gave it his all and
Jockims would have done just as well
doing the same job,” said Huskies
forward Michael Lieffers, who
cashed in on 12 rebounds throughout
the game.
Despite the loss, Saskatchewan
still has reason to hold their collective
head high. This season, they were the
first Huskies men’s contingent in the
history of the program to uphold an
18-game win streak.

UFC buys Strikeforce
media.heavy.com
The UFC, led by president Dana White, has been busy
inside the octagon
autumn mcdowell
sports writer
It’s no secret that, in the world of mixed mar-
tial arts, the UFC is the top dog, and this dog
just added a little more power to its bite.
Just a few years ago, although the UFC
was still the organization that every fighter
wanted to be a part of, there were still nu-
merous other organizations that were not
that far behind. PRIDE, World Extreme Cage
Fighting, and Strikeforce were three of the
most popular organizations, housing some of
the world’s best fighters.
However, the UFC has made short work
of these slightly smaller shows simply by
buying them out.
On March 12, it was announced that the
Zuffa LLC, the UFC’s parent company, had
purchased Strikeforce. This purchase came as
quite a shock to most fans, as Strikeforce
seemed to be doing perfectly OK on its own.
What is almost more surprising about this
purchase is that things will stay that way.
Contrary to what fans were hoping for
when they heard the news of the purchase,
Strikeforce and the UFC will not be combin-
ing as they did after the purchases of PRIDE
and WEC, therefore ruling out any possibil-
ity of cross-company super fights.
However, it is possible for current UFC
fighters to leave and end up in Strikeforce.
This also means that previous UFC fighters

White, or those whom he publicly despises

such as Josh Barnett or Paul Daley, could still
have the opportunity to negotiate for a new

Most of the fighters currently in

down the MMA organization ladder to
Strikeforce. Former UFC fighters Dan
Henderson and Nick Diaz are two of the or-

did with the other organizations. In fact, this
little situation seems oddly similar to what
they did with WEC. They let the organization Your student newspaper since 1962
survive on its own for a little while and then
when the time was right they made the com-
bination.
Add as a friend
Since Strikeforce has been successful on
its own, and the UFC does not need any
more fighters under contract, things will
probably stay the same for at least a few
years.
This is perfectly fine with me, although
the prospect of super fights is always an en-
ticing one. The only Strikeforce fighter that
I would be excited to see in the octagon
would be Alister Overeem. Overeem would
surely provide some more excitement to the
heavyweight division as 32 out of his 34 wins
have been by stoppage.
I like those odds.

running on Salvia should stick

ST. JOHN'S (CUP) — March is nutri- keep all my components in tune, how salviafacts.com

tion awareness month, and if you’re
like me, the last two months of ne-
glecting resolutions to eat better and
be less self-destructive are starting to
catch up.
Even though some groundbreak-
ing steps have been taken – like no
more Cheez Whiz, since it’s grey be-
fore the yellow colouring is added –
the garbage is still full of frozen din-
ner boxes, bottle caps, and Tim
Hortons cups.
Students have limited options
when it comes to buying affordable
food. A loan or line of credit will only
stretch so far once you’ve lost half of
it to winter cab fare and spent an-
other chunk at the bookstore. Kraft
Dinner and Mr. Noodles have as
much nutrition as cardboard, but
they’re still staples of a university
diet. Cheap food is too appealing to
someone on a budget.
It occurred to me one evening,
as I prepared another frozen chicken
burger patty with a side of fish sticks,
that I should eat more vegetables. I’m
too often satisfied to simply fill the
empty void with whatever comes
easiest – the path of least resistance.
Nutrition is something I rarely think
about, and that’s not good.
The body is a complicated thing.
I wish my body came with a user
to keep my gas tank full and how to
get the longest possible life out of my
vehicle. Even if there were such a
guide, I would probably still struggle
with basic things, like consistent meal
times. I can eat breakfast right before
I go to bed, right?
There are always people who
take dieting too seriously. They carry
light Tupperware lunches and calo-
rie-counter notepads and they lec-
ture you with hateful eyes as you
order your BLT with double bacon.
Unless it’s by doctor’s orders, neu-
rotic obsession with nutrition isn’t
healthy either.
We all consume things that kill
us – smoke, soda, and McDonald’s to
name a few. But somewhere between
gluttony and paranoia is a healthy
balance, where smart choices come
from awareness, not obsession.
That’s what Nutrition Awareness
Month is about. It’s not about telling
people how to live, but reminding
people to take care of themselves.
Habits can set traps that are easy to
fall into.
neil sparkes
A while back, I heard that the media
cesspool they call TMZ released some
footage of Miley Cyrus smoking
salvia, which of course, resulted in
increased sales of the herb nation-
wide. I felt a twist in my gut as I real-
ized the inevitable implications. It
comes as no surprise that weeks later
I would read about the federal gov-
ernment planning to ban salvia divi-
norum (Vol. 53, Issue 17, March 3-9).
Still, I literally could not stop my fin-
gers from trembling in anger as I con-
tinued to read the article.
First of all, I should mention that
I am an occasional partaker in the
herb. I have always been interested in
psychedelics and the general scrutiny
they receive from the public. I have
researched psychoactive plants and
entheogens in my free time (a high
school cliché); I am by no means pro-
fessional, so given this disclosure I
ask you to form your own ideas on
the subject and read mine with
healthy criticism.
The weak claims that salvia is a
dangerous substance stem greatly
from the language media has used to
represent it. Phrases such as “LSD-
like”, “dangerously dissociated
state”, and “most powerful natural
few eyebrows. People are all too fa-
miliar with the acid and ’shrooms
horror stories of tripping hipsters
running naked through the streets,
jumping off buildings thinking they
can fly, and becoming permanently
brain-fried. While these are often
mentally unstable outliers, it’s stag-
gering how quickly these assump-
tions are being imposed on salvia. It
isn’t surprising that the federal gov-
ernment is all over this.
In fact, the active compound in
salvia is non-toxic and not chemically
similar to any other hallucinogenic
drug. In the brain, it is a k-opioid ag-
onist, unlike LSD and Psilocybin,
which react with serotonin receptors.
It confuses me why they are being
continuously compared when they
are entirely different substances.
The root of the problem may be
the overly conservative values that
are so deeply embedded in our ide-
ologies. I am by no means taking a
political standpoint; it is simply a
well-known fact that the general pub-
lic is wary of anything “new”. Parents
are scared to death of their kids exper-
imenting with drugs, and with good
reason: most are too inexperienced to
understand the experience. The best
scissors in the wrong hands is just as
dangerous. Parents, for the love of
God, teach your kids about the risks
involved with experimentation, what
to do when something goes wrong,
why you should avoid certain sub-
stances, and that you love them too
much to see them get hurt. Kids al-
ways find these substances and if the
drugs weren’t available, you’d find
them in your basement smoking your
nutmeg.
The way I see it, if salvia becomes
illegal we are losing a little more free-
dom in a chaotic world that seems to
take three steps backward for every
one forward. When you leave out the
fact that it is a recreational drug, it’s
scary that the government is so quick
to act against something it doesn’t
fully understand. I hate to get philo-
sophical, but the more you try to fit
humanity into a box, the more it
struggles to be free. We all have the
drive to control our own lives, and I
know there are people sick of having
their world shaped by the near-
sighted, paranoiac majority.
