keeping ourselves occupied 7
the staff
In keeping with our reckless, devil-may-care image, our of-
ce has absolutely no concrete information on the Carillons
formative years readily available. What follows is the story
thats been passed down from editor to editor for over forty
years.
In the late 1950s, the University of Regina planned the con-
struction of several new buildings on the campus grounds.
One of these proposed buildings was a bell tower on the aca-
demic green. If you look out on the academic green today,
the rst thing youll notice is that it has absolutely nothing
resembling a bell tower.
The University never got a bell tower, but what it did get
was the Carillon, a newspaper that serves as a symbolic bell
tower on campus, a loud and clear voice belonging to each
and every student.
Illegitimi non carborundum.

the paper

We at the Carillon would like to wish you a happy belated
Halloween. Chances are, you were stuck at work on Monday
night (like us) or stuck doing schoolwork, meaning your
Halloween festivities probably amounted to looping Werewolf
Bar Mitzvah on YouTube as you stuffed yourself with minia-
ture Kit Kats until your ruined body had to go to the hospital.
But we hope you at least got to go out and have some fun this
weekend, mingling with fellow sexy nurses or sexy reght-
ers or sexy Dyson spheres.
And hey, hopefully youve recovered enough to ip through
this issue (or visit carillonregina.com) and see what your stu-
dent paper has to offer you this week.
Were aware that this photo is
sort of nightmarish. But the
photo shoot was completely
adorable, as you can guess.
Anyway, cast your eyes to the
right to see if this provincial
election will be a trick or a
treat. (I seriously hope thats
a metaphor.)

Splicing Comments
Early on in the campaign, the Sask.
Party called out the NDP for splicing
Brad Walls comments together. Then
during the leaders debate, Brad
burned Dwayne by calling him out
for again splicing comments, this time
during the debate. Astrong lesson for
those who would base their political
ad campaigns on how they caught
Homer in that Simpsons episode
where he grabbed the Gummy de
Milo off of the babysitters ass.
Gaffe Rating: three Pankiws.
Press releases
Since the writ dropped, the parties
PR departments have been working
overtime churning out press releases,
including one sent by the NDP a
whole nine minutes after the leaders
debate, stating. Link wins by sticking
to issues that matter. Even putting
aside the fact that this was the last of
four press releases sent out during the
debate itself, and the fact that the NDP
is probably not going to put out a
press release crapping on their
leaders debate performance wait,
actually, dont put those aside, those
things are silly things.

news the carillon | Nov. 3 - 9, 2011 4
In todays day and age, its almost im-
possible to fathom the cruelty of the
Holocaust. Its something that stu-
dents learn about in textbooks, but
cannot really grasp. That changed this
past spring for a handful of University
of Regina students.
From May 25 to June 3, ve U of R
students participated in the March for
Remembrance and Hope, a program
put on by the Canadian Centre for
Diversity that encourages leadership
and social change. The march takes
60 students each year to Germany and
Poland for tours of Nazi concentra-
tion camps, where they get to meet
Holocaust survivors.
One participant, education stu-
dent Kyle Caron, found the
experience to be both educational and
emotional. He said he always had an
avid interest in the Holocaust, and
found it surreal to tour the areas he
learned about
in history books.
It was an experience in lots of
different ways, he said. Im also get-
ting a degree in history, so in that per-
spective it was really cool for the rst
time to see history rsthand. To actu-
ally be in Treblinka, Majdanek, or
Auschwitz-Birkenau, its really cool
to be in a place where history hap-
pened.
On a completely different side,
there is an emotional component to
it, where youre in these concentra-
tion camps, but youre there with
Holocaust survivors: people whove
physically been there before. Its a
feeling you cant duplicate.
Caron believes that this experi-
ence has changed him for the better.
Although there were denitely educa-
tional components to the trip, he
claimed that the largest extent of the
learning was about internal.
The real learning was about my-
self, he said. The experience itself
changed me in a lot of different ways.
It made me realize the things that I
needed to do in order to contribute
more to society.
We felt really indebted by what
we were allowed to witness and what
we were allowed to be a part of. That
made me feel like it was really impor-
tant to give back, and maybe become
more involved in community events
than I had been in the past. To be hon-
est, my involvement in the university
had been show up, go to class, go
home, and maybe go to the Owl on
Friday.
Now, Caron and the other stu-
dents want give back to the Canadian
Centre for Diversity and the March
for Remembrance. On Saturday,
theyre planning to host a fundraiser
to raise money and awareness for
Holocaust education.
The rst part is a steak night,
Caron explained. Were trying to
raise money for the March for
Remembrance and Hope and the
Canadian Centre for diversity, so that
more students can have the experi-
ence that we were fortunate to have.
Thats our way of giving back to a
program that has offered us so much.
The second half of the evening in-
cludes a presentation by Holocaust
historian and the director of commu-
nity relations for the Jewish
Federation of Winnipeg, Shelley
Faintuch, who is also a documentary
filmmaker. Her documentary, Silent
Echoes, has been accepted by Yad
Vashem, an organization that docu-
ments all aspects of the history of the
Jewish people during the Holocaust.
Caron believes that, although the
events of the Holocaust happened
over half-a-century ago, the issues are
still relevant in contemporary society.
This is why he believes its important
that students educate themselves on
the history of the Holocaust.
Its important to take the lessons
and events of the Holocaust and try
and draw them and compare them to
the way our society is today, and to re-
alize the issues of oppression and so-
cial distancing that didnt end with
the Holocaust, Caron explained.
Anti-Semitism isnt expressed the
same way that it used to be, but anti-
Semitism, in regards to the denying of
Israel as a state, and whats happening
over there, its interesting and kind of
a different route that anti-Semitism
has taken.
Even after all the darkness of the
tragedy, Caron said that he took away
a different message, a message of
hope.
To be there with Holocaust sur-
vivors, as they were telling us their
stories, and being in this place, was a
really surreal experience, he said.
But having so much of it, at the end
of it, being about hope, and the tri-
umph of the human spirit through the
Holocaust being the most important
thing, and having that being separate
from the tragedy that the Holocaust
was.
Caron encourages people to come
check out the Holocaust education
evening, as the proceeds will help oth-
ers that want to experience the March
of Remembrance and Hope.
The March of Remembrance and
Hope steak night will be held in the
Riddell multipurpose room on
Saturday, Nov. 25. Doors open at 6
p.m., and speaker Shelley Feintuch
will be speaking at 8 p.m. Tickets for
the full event are $25, and tickets for
her presentation on its own are $10.

The University of Regina hasnt heard
much from the Canadian Federation
of Students (CFS) since last years ref-
erendum, when Kyle Addison called
into question the necessity of having a
CFS membership. Its been a year
since students went to the polls, and
although the results of the referen-
dum were close, it appears the CFS is
here to stay.
Although many students still
struggle to see where the CFS comes
into their lives, Haanim Nur,
Saskatchewans elected CFS represen-
tative, insisted its services will con-
tinue to improve until their place here
is established.
The referendum last year ended
with only an 88-vote margin, which
indicated that Addison was not the
only one who had a problem with the
CFS. Many students still harbour
some bad feelings towards the feder-
ation.
Im aware of them, at least in as
much as the referendum. I cant say
Im deeply and personally involved in
their activities, said Melissa Enns, a
third-year linguistics student.
Frankly, unless I was going to see
some large-scale changes, CFS would-
nt be an important part of my life.
Enns highlighted the CFSs im-
pact on campus; many rst-year stu-
dents do not know of the CFS since
they missed the referendum last year.
Emilien Perron, a rst-year anthropol-
ogy major, said, I have seen the
name, but dont really know what
they do, when asked if he was aware
of their services.
Nur did not comment on the
strained relationship between the stu-
dent body at the U of R and the CFS,
but she did emphasize the ways in
which the federation is working to re-
pair the relationship. Local 9, the uni-
versitys section of CFS, has been
working to get discounts on clothing
and other necessities for students in
Regina through its student saver card.
Similarly, it has been attempting to is-
sue as many International Student
Identity (ISIC) cards to as many stu-
dents as possible, which gives stu-
dents discounts on travel.
While some students are unhappy
with the services from the federation,
others are welcoming the changes the
CFS is making for Regina. Bart
Soroka, a third-year economics and
business student, was against the CFS
during last years referendum, but is
impressed with the changes that have
been made.
Though the U of R remained in
the CFS, I had hoped that by being
loud and demonstrating that we did
understand what the CFS owed to us,
we could force their hand into work-
ing closer with us and providing the
same benefits to other schools, he
said. Fast forward and the University
of Regina now has a CFS rep, the
Student Discount Cards can now be
used at businesses in Regina and in
Saskatoon, and I no longer feel like
my money is going to waste. Last year
I did try to remove the U of R from the
CFS, but this year, I appreciate the
hard work being done on campus to
ensure students benefit from our
membership.
I would say Local 9 members are
well aware of the Federation benets
they receive as members Nur com-
mented, in regards the lack of knowl-
edge on campus of the CFSs services.
While this may not be true for all stu-
dents, Nur outlined some ways in
which the federation will be reaching
out to students.
On-campus outreach is a key fo-
cus to the Federations approach to
service and campaign implementa-
tion, she said. On-campus tabling
took place during Local 9s orienta-
tion this year, and over the last month
leading up to the provincial election.
Many on-campus events have taken
place to promote the Vote Education
and Our Future is Now campaigns,
such as a candidates forum,
Kandidate Karaoke, and a fax mob. A
student rally and social will take place
this Friday Nov. 4 to get students ex-
cited about voting in the upcoming
provincial election.
Nur described the federation as
Canadas national students union,
portraying the CFS as an equivalent of
URSU, but working for universities
across the country. Nur described the
ways in which URSU works with the
CFS, saying that, in co-operation with
URSU, they had developed and
adopted a national campaign called
Education is a Right. As part of the
campaign, students, including repre-
sentatives from Saskatchewan, met
with more than 180 members of
Parliament and senators in Ottawa
last week to present a vision for an
accessible, high-quality, post-second-
ary education system. However,
since the CFSs issues are country-
wide, it is difficult to see how their
work affects the U of R.
One of the ways URSU co-oper-
ates with the CFS is through the Our
Future is Now campaign. Nur stated
that the campaign works seamlessly
with the campaign when integrated
with their Vote Education program.
The Vote Education campaign, which
Nur said, Aims to equip students
with the tools they need to make an
educated vote based on the issues that
affect them on a daily basis, has been
featured on URSUs web page.
This year, CFS Saskatchewan has
hired its rst organizer in four years,
Alanna Makinson. Prior to her cur-
rent work as the prairies organizer for
the CFS, Makinson spent a year as the
chairperson of CFS Manitoba.
Makinson declined an interview for
this article, writing, I feel focusing
on my position rather then the organ-
isation as a whole would not be the
best way to communicate to students
how the organisation is structured
and functions.

Audit in progress
Actually, the audit of the University of
Regina Students Unions 2010-11 s-
cal year is complete; your correspon-
dent just wanted to make a Hot
Snakes reference (they are reuniting to
play Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin this
year and it is killing me, inside).
But hooray! The students union
board and executive got to spend
most of their Nov. 1 meeting listening
to a representative from Meyers
Norris Penny, the accounting rm that
performs URSUs annual audits, take
them through page after page of fi-
nancial documents. Tedious but nec-
essary!
Unsurprisingly, the audit which
has to be accepted by the board and
approved by the membership at
URSUs annual general meeting
showed nothing to prevent Meyers
Norris Penny from declaring that the
organizations financial statements
present fairly in all respects, as it
has for the last several years.
The accounting firm did, how-
ever, send a letter outlining a couple
of recommendations for the students
union. Their biggest concern was
URSUs investments.
As of April 2011, the students
union has $464,000 in short-term in-
vestments and $722,000 in long-term
meaning theyve got almost $1.2 mil-
lion in things like mutual funds and
other equities.
The firm found it unusual that
URSU would have that amount of
money tied up in investments that
have risk attached to them the way
mutual funds do; while it wasnt
enough of a concern for it to have an
impact on Meyers Norris Pennys as-
sessment of URSUs financial state-
ments, they did strongly advise URSU
to come up with an internal policy
outlining the risks the organization
are willing to take when investing.
Which, apparently, they do have,
according to womens director
Kaytlyn Barber and URSU general
manager Mike Staines it just isnt in
the copy of the policy manual cur-
rently available on URSUs website.
The board will be voting on
whether to approve the audited state-
ments next meeting. As for us, if
credits what matters, well take credit
(always go out on a Hot Snakes refer-
ence).
The Pursuit of Happiness would
be outraged
The latest in the long, long series of
executive-vs.-board-member slap-
ghts this year is between URSU pres-
ident Kent Peterson and fine arts
director Jordan Palmer. As we re-
ported at the last meeting, the Fine
Arts Student Association failed to
show up for a meeting, thus waiving
their right to funding from the
Presidents Advisory Council, and
Palmer requested both that URSU re-
store funding to FASA and that the
board investigate its own policies
to determine who has the authority
to revoke said funding.
At the Tuesday meeting, Peterson
claried that FASAhad in fact missed
a meeting to receive an advance
cheque a cheque which is, appar-
ently, otherwise ready for them. Same
with the cheque for the Arts Student
Association, a representative from
which also failed to make it to a PAC
meeting.
When the latter came up, board
chair Sean McEachern asked if the
cheque for the ASAhad been written;
when that question was answered in
the afrmative, he looked ummoxed.
Im not sure how were going to
reinstate something that hasnt been
given out yet, he told the board.
So there wound up being no mo-
tion on this, the thing that wasnt a
thing yet was enough of a thing that
the board voted, in a public motion, to
investigate their own policies. The
cheques in question were advances,
theyre going to go out to where they
were originally intended to go, no
need to panic.
Whether FASAs issues with PAC
in particular are Peterson taking his is-
sues with Palmer out on FASA as a
whole, as Palmer believes they do, or
whether theyre rooted in Palmer pro-
jecting motives onto Peterson, or
whether the whole thing is just a con-
voluted but apolitical mess is hardly
relevant at this point; education di-
rector Mariah Perkins said it best
when she told the entire room that
she was disappointed in the way that
the issue between FASAand PAC had
been handled.
It would have been nice if you
guys had sat down and had a conver-
sation as professional adults, she
said, after Peterson addressed the af-
fair in his report to the board.
Wisdom. Maybe by next term the
board and executive will collectively
be able to end a meeting without once
trying to verbally wring each others
necks.
The next URSU meeting is on
Nov. 15 at 5:30 p.m. in the URSU
boardroom on the second oor of the
Riddell Centre. If you cant make it

Community groups from around the
city came to the Knox-Metropolitan
Church Oct. 29 to take part in an anti-
poverty festival to look at ways that
the groups and individuals have chal-
lenged poverty through the use of the
arts. Event organizers knowingly
hosted the event around the Nov. 7
provincial election.
When we set the time of the fes-
tival, we realized that we were also in
conjunction with a provincial election
campaign and so we also decided it
would be important to hold a rally to
focus on poverty issues and to con-
tinue to promote poverty issues as im-
portant election issues, said Peter
Gilmer, an advocate with the Regina
Anti-Poverty Ministry. So we are
here to promote some of the concerns
we have in regards to this election
campaign.
Although the planned rally that
was supposed to happen outdoors
took place in the church basement,
important issues surrounding poverty
were still able to be discussed, as well
as the upcoming provincial election.
Gilmer said the biggest concerns
this election for solving the issues sur-
rounding poverty should be invest-
ment in social housing and rent
control, calling for a living wage that
is actually set above the minimum
wage and poverty line, and that is in-
dexed to the cost of living, calling for
signicant increase in the number of
childcare spaces and an improvement
in childcare subsidies.
Aside from the rally, the festival
used drama, skits, visual arts, pho-
tography, paintings, poetry, and story-
telling to examine and discuss the
issues of poverty in the city.
Using art is more effective than
spewing statistical facts and figures
and it brings peoples attention to
these issues, said Gerry Ruecker
from the Common Will Community
Arts program. Ruecker co-ordinated
some skits and the screening of a
movie for the festival. He said that
speaking through art is important be-
cause it gives people on the margins
a voice.
One of those people that used to
live on the margins is Terri Slevea.
I was there. I know what it feels
like, she said. When we have such a
have province, why should people be
marginalized? Why should people be
allowed to fall through the cracks? We
need to help our poorest of the poor.
Gilmer said that politicians and the
public need to understand how much
nancial sense it would make to ad-
dress poverty.
It would actually be must less
costly to eradicate poverty, Gilmer
said. To limit economic inequality
would be a big cost-saver because we
would be saving in terms of poverty
that we pay through our health sys-
tem, our justice system. and through
our other social systems. The income
gap in our society is one the most
pressing issues. There is a lot evidence
that shows a society that has a nar-
rower economic gap [is] actually
healthier than societies that dont, on
a whole wide range of measures.
Anti-poverty festival hosted in Regina during the provincial election
Challenging poverty through arts
photos by Natasha Tersigni
When we set the time of the festival, we
realized that we were also in conjunction with
a provincial election campaign and so we also
decided it would be important to hold a rally to
focus on poverty issues and to continue to
promote poverty issues as important election
issues.

WATERLOO (CUP) After just over
a month, the Occupy Wall Street
movement has grown to the point
where most people are at least aware
of its existence. If they havent wit-
nessed one of the hundreds of
marches or occupations of parks and
other public spaces in cities across the
world, they've certainly heard of it.
For something that began with
the rst protesters appearing on the
U.S. Constitution Day, Sept. 17, in
New York Citys nancial district, the
movement, as it has come to be classi-
ed, has managed to sustain itself un-
der intense criticism that its aims and
the numerous issues the participants
are rallying around are either ill-de-
ned or ill-informed.
What are the conditions that de-
ne Occupy Wall Street? How can you
explain the complex simplicity that
seems to be stymieing some of the me-
dias coverage of the events?
What's black and white and
shades of grey?
I think one of the main challenges is
that theres nothing simple about this
movement and journalism always re-
sponds best to simple black and white
situations, and this one is shades of
grey, said Ann Rauhala, a Ryerson
University journalism professor, who
has worked at the CBC and as foreign
editor of the Globe and Mail. Thats
hardly an original observation, but it
is altogether so true.
In the Canadian media, you can
see people following the predictable
courses. I am often disappointed by
our journalistic leaders in this country
who so often revert to the easiest,
cheapest shot.
She cited a few less-than-stellar
approaches taken in covering and
commenting on the Canadian
protests.
Given that the Toronto gathering
on Oct. 15 began across the street from
where a police car burned a little over
a year ago during the G20 Summit,
Rauhala noted its difficult to think
about this protest without recalling
those events. Though she noted that
before the ames and broken glass of
last July, those assembled were, with
the exception of the rioters, concerned
with many of the same thing.,.
The main march [at the G20] was
many thousands of people who were
pretty much people nervous about
their futures and aligned with a wide
representation of progressive social
movements, she said. I think there
are a lot of those people represented in
the 99 per cent we see now.
I cant help but wonder if there
wouldnt have been more participa-
tion in the Occupy group had it not
been for the craziness that happened
last summer.
Its the system, man.
The magazine Adbusters bears
much of the responsibility for spark-
ing the initial protests in New York
with a call in July to pccupy Wall
Street in September, but in retrospect
the conditions were already in place,
according to observers.
People are now saying its the
system overall thats wrong, not that
[it] has screwed things up, assessed
Wilfrid Laurier University communi-
cations professor Herbert Pimlott. I
would say that this goes back, in
terms of immediate sparks, to the -
nancial collapse and from that you see
the reactions of governments that
have been imposing austerity cuts and
making the middle classes not just
the working class or the poor pay for
bailouts for big corporations, banks,
and nancial institutions that are sup-
posed to be too big to fail.
Particularly problematic and cited
as in part driving the protests is the
massive disparity between the
wealthiest one per cent of people and
everyone else.
Essentially, the second they started
saying, Were the 99 per cent, the
subtext behind that was that the sys-
tem isnt working for the vast major-
ity of us, said Trish Hennessy,
director of the Growing Gap Project at
the Canadian Centre for Policy
Alternatives.
In 2007-08, when the whole
world economy came crashing down
to its knees because of a nancial sys-
tem that was geared in the interests of
a very wealthy, concentrated few at
the top, at that point I think there was
a public expectation that things would
change that the government would
start standing up for the people but
it didnt really happen.
Instead, Hennessy noted, power-
ful interest groups in the American
political system in particular wanted
to return to the same status quo that
contributed to the crisis. And that did-
nt sit right with many people.
Sober second thought
Tammy Schirle, an economics profes-
sor at WLUs School of Business and
Economics whose fields of research
include trends of inequality between
Canadians, weighed in with her im-
pression of the situation.
Since the 1990s, its been a story
about the middle class, she said. By
a lot of measures of inequality, if
youre comparing the poorest and the
richest, thats actually improved over
time. When you look at the gap be-
tween the middle class and the poor-
est, that has shrunk, the gap between
the middle class and the richest has
increased.
Its really a matter that there are
a lot of discontent among that middle
class. They dont like that the poorest
are catching up to them. I think thats
a really big thing; their relative posi-
tion in society has changed and
theyre not happy about it.
She disputed the application of
the same 99 per cent group to the
Canadian context.
The rallies are using this 99 per
cent idea, [but] its not about the 99
per cent, its about that middle class,
she said. Thats whats driving this
general discontent that you see.
If there is anything to be derived
from this particular issue that helped
spur the protests and move forward
toward a change, she said it would
involve raising the marginal tax rates
of the highest income bracket.
Thats something that I think is
being called for by many people in
the United States and Canada,
Schirle said, noting that such a move
would have little impact on the labour
market.
Thats a policy that makes sense
and seems very feasible and reason-
able. Politically [though], with current
governments, I would seriously doubt
it.
Public discourse
So what can we gather from the
movement?
The greatest service that Occupy
Wall Street has done for the U.S. and
Canada is help breathe some air into
something that we were not talking
about, Hennessy said.
In Canada, we dont talk about
record-high levels of household debt.
Canadian households are in it far
more than theyre able to manage if
the system goes down if we have a
housing market crash, for instance.
Things could happen and people
know it and are anxious, but at the
same time, theres this middle class
insularity thats going on.
She explained that many in
Canadas middle class are simply cop-
ing and not expecting things to be
much better than they are at a given
moment.
Pimlott suggested that the
protests and occupied parks could be
a sign of greater things to come.
This is a spark that has red peo-
ples imaginations. There [are] links to
other things that are happening and
no one is determining all of them be-
cause there are so many diverse
groups, but I think its a clear indica-
tion that politics cannot continue as
they have been, he said, noting a few
historical examples of social move-
ments from similar beginnings that
created profound change over time.
People have been talking to each
other. I think thats maybe whats
most important; all these groups are
coming together and talking to each
other. Perhaps what were seeing is a
real democracy, where everybody
does have a voice, happening right
now at the grassroots.
Rauhala explained that there
might be, in the Canadian context,
greater meaning yet to be derived
from the protests, like a focus on un-
employment among young people.
Differences from the American situa-
tion factor in as well, she said.
We have this smug Canadian at-
titude that were different, but never
really articulate what the difference is
and yet there are actual differences
not spelled out when a story like this
comes along, she said. I may be
wrong, but our unemployment rates
are not the same, our foreclosure rates
are not the same, the cartoonish [Wall
Street] bad guys are not as readily
available. There are reasons why the
anger and frustration cannot solidify
into a clearer meaning here yet.

Occupy
Regina
thus far
Mid-July
Via their electronic mailing
list, Canadian magazine
Adbusters proposes a peaceful
occupation of Wall Street to
protest corporate inuence
on democracy, address a
growing disparity in wealth,
and the absence of legal
repercussions behind the re-
cent global nancial crisis.
Sept. 17
The rst Occupation starts on
Wall Street, coinciding with
Constitution Day.
Oct. 6
The Leader-Post reports that
plans are underway for a lo-
cal Occupation. The article
states, The Regina Police
Service plans to uphold
everyones rights during a
protest that is slated to take
place in downtown Regina
next week.
Oct. 15
Occupy Regina sets up in
Victoria Park. Regina is only
one of an estimated 1,500
cities worldwide to host an
Occupy Wall Street move-
ment.
Oct. 17
Days after the movement be-
gan, the Saskatoon
StarPhoenix runs a story head-
linedProtestors vow to stay
put, declaring that many
people arent sure what
demonstrators are trying to
say.
Oct. 18
The Regina Public Interest
Research Group has ap-
proved spending up to $800
in basic living supplies for
the protesters. It will provide
$200 in aid this week and
next, followed by $100 per
week for up to four weeks af-
ter that. Protesters applied for
the funds earlier in October
by university students in-
volved with the movement.
Money for the research body
is collected voluntarily from
student fees at the University
of Regina.
Oct. 27
Occupy takes a political turn
when CBC reveals that Green
Party candidate for the con-
stituency of Cannington,
Daniel Johnson, has been liv-
ing in Victoria Park for the
last two weeks. He admitted
to CBC that he is a parachute
candidate and only running
as a favour to old high school
friend and Green Party
Leader, Victor Lau.

ROUNDTABLE
What would you rather watch: a university game or the Pan Am Games?
circlingthewagon.wordpress.com
Jordan Weal will make more money in his life than anyone who answered this roundtable
Do you plan on attending any
University of Regina sporting
events this year?
Autumn McDowell: Of course. Since
it is pretty much my job to go to the
games and know what I am talking
about when it comes to University of
Regina sports, I will be there. At every
game. Whether I like it or not. Every
single goddamn game.
Jonathan Hamelin: Hell no. I was the
sports editor last year, so Ill leave that
to the poor sucker who has the posi-
tion this year. (Just kidding, Autumn
and all the members of the university
sports scene who were co-operative
last year!)
Britton Gray: Yes, I will be attending
university games. If your going to a
school, youve gotta show your sup-
port by cheering on the sports teams
and helping them be the best they can
be.
Colton Hordichuk: Its too early to
tell. Ive always wanted to attend a U
of R game, but Ive never had any
time. So I guess my answer is yes.
Wait, I mean no. Im going to change
my answer back to yes.
Taylor Shire: If I pretend to turn my
lectures into games, then yes.
How much time do you spend
watching sports every week?
McDowell: Hmm, lets see. I probably
go to six hours worth of university
games each week plus probably a
good sevenish hours of hockey and
football I watch at home. If a UFC
event is on theres another solid three
hours. So probably between 13 and
16 hours. Good god.
Hamelin: Well I am a freelancer for
the Regina Leader-Post sports section,
have edited their Saskatchewan
Roughriders home game program
and aspire to be a sports journalist, so
naturally maybe an hour. Ive found
the more you start covering sports,
the less time you have to watch sports.
That comes with the territory of being
a journalist, though; you have to be an
expert on any subject that is thrown at
you.
Gray: During the week I watch a few
NHL games, but Sunday is when I do
the majority of my sports watching.
Nothing like waking up, watching
football, eating supper, watching
more football, then going to bed. GO
COWBOYS!
Hordichuk: As of last week, I spent
probably 20-plus hours watching my
Ducks play on the NHL Centre Ice
channels. My free trial is up, so Im
back to watching the Toronto Make-
Me-Laughs make their glorious push
for Lord Stanleys cup on CBC. A6-2-
1 record is a good enough to take the
Presidents Trophy, right?
Shire: Im an athlete. I play sports.
Do you even care about the
last two Rider games this
season?
McDowell: Meh, I dont know. I guess
part of me cares; its still sports so I
will watch it. If I didnt watch a game
because a team was out of the play-
offs, then I would be watching a hell
of a lot less university sports. Zing.
Hamelin: Oh snap, Autumn. I have
nothing else to add to that.
Gray: Nope, these games mean noth-
ing to me. I actually kinda stop fol-
lowing the CFL once the NFL season
begins.
Hordichuk: I thought the Riders sea-
son was already over. I care more
about watching the Colts go 0-16-0
than watching the Riders last two
games. Peyton Manning for MVP.
Shire: I went to the last home game of
the year against Hamilton, but it was
mainly to use up my leftover drink
tokens on long island iced teas. I got
lucky and ve out of eight drinks ac-
tually had booze in them! Ill consider
that a win.
Do you think Jordan Weal will
make it to NHL?
McDowell: The guy is un-weal. The
big knock on him is that he is small
but boy does he have a nose around
the net. Weal was projected to go 30th
overall in the 2010 NHL entry draft,
but ended up dropping to 70th.
Barring an untimely injury, Weal will
eventually play for an NHL team,
though it may be a while before we
see old Wealer in the show.
Hamelin: To properly assess that, it
would require me having watched a
minute of the Regina Pats in action,
which for the time restrictions I
mentioned earlier simply hasnt
happened.
Gray: Yeah, he could make it into the
NHL if he works hard and is dedi-
cated. By practicing and improving
his game he could nd his way into an
NHL lineup.
Hordichuk: Itd be nice to see a for-
mer Pat make the NHL, but the Kings
are too sound already and truthfully,
they dont need him. One day hell be
able to play along side Kopitar,
Richards, Gagne, and the rest of the al-
ready loaded Kings offence just not
this year.
Shire: Its going to be a daunting task
trying to make the deep Los Angeles
Kings team for Weal. Hopefully he
can Weal er, wheel his way in there
somewhere, because if he can do in
the NHLwhat he is doing in the WHL
(see Eberle of less calibre), then he
should be a strong player for what-
ever team he is on.
The Pan Am Games are
happening right now. Does
anyone even care?
McDowell: The Pan Am Games are
on? Lets be perfectly honest; no, I
dont care. I pay attention to them
when I know someone that is com-
peting, but other than that the Pan
Am games are just interrupting my
hockey-watching time.
Hamelin: If I dont even have time to
watch mainstream sports, theres no
way I have time to watch the Pan Am
games.
Gray: No, football is on.
Hordichuk: I thought Pan Am was a
T.V. show about an American airline
starring Christina Ricci and Mike
Vogel? I didnt know theres games
based off of this. I cant wait to see
which ight attendant is going to take
the crown for most customers served.
Shire: Oooh, thats what Onrait and
OToole were talking about on
SportsCentre last night. After the
ringette highlights. I get it now. So the
answer is no, but for some reason I
want to sing some Van Halen now.

For John Kalyn, a University of
Regina third-year ne arts student, art
has always been a passion in his life,
but it is his other passion rock climb-
ing that allows him to reach new
heights.
After being invited to come climb-
ing by his sister and brother-in-law at
the age of 22, Kalyn took to the sport
like a duck to water. Kalyn instantly
loved the feeling he got from climb-
ing, one that is almost indescribable.
There is an interesting thing that
happens when you climb, Kalyn
said. Lots of people go climbing and
they think, Man, thats fun, but after
climbing for two to three hours
straight for your rst few times your
arms are so burnt out. It gets to the
point where you can hardly open
doors; that feeling was awesome.
According to Kalyn, it is not just
the feeling that keeps him climbing
year after year, but the relationships
that he has built with other climbers is
something special.
The climbing community is awe-
some, Kalyn said. Almost every-
where that you go for the most part
people are super positive, and sup-
portive, and really encouraging. That
really draws me in.
Kalyn admitted that he was not
the type of kid to be involved in
highly competitive sports growing up,
but with climbing it was different.
I played sports as a kid, but I
wasnt very good because I am not
super competitive, Kalyn said. I
would rather have fun with it,
whereas some people are just set on
winning. With climbing and climbers,
its different. I have climbed with guys
that were top five in Canada, and I
was climbing stuff that for them
would be peanuts and maybe its
challenging for me. They are still su-
per encouraging saying, Go for it, go
for it. That really draws me in be-
cause its a super solid community.
Climbing has also allowed Kalyn
to experience things that he may have
never had the chance to otherwise.
I have climbed in Thailand, in
California, and just outside of Vegas at
a place called Red Rock, Kalyn re-
called. Those are the main trips that
I have taken, but I have also climbed
a little bit in the Rockies outside of
Banff. I am hoping to climb in
Squamish, there are so many places
that I would just love to go and
climb.
During his numerous climbing
trips, Kalyn has managed to make in-
credible memories while achieving
personal goals. However, when asked
to pick just one favourite memory, the
task was nearly impossible.
There [have] been a few; proba-
bly one of the highlights was when I
was in Bishop, Kalyn said. There is
this boulder there that is one of the
biggest in the world. It is actually
cracked in half; there are two halves to
it called the grandpa and grandma. I
was doing a climb on the grandma,
which has slightly easier climbs and I
remember that I got up to one section
where no one from our group had
made it past; it was the crux of the
climb.
I was holding on to two [small
grips] and I saw this pocket up above
and I knew that was the next move. I
remember holding on and prepping
and I looked back and realized that I
was about twenty feet off of the
ground and it was slightly slopping. I
thought to myself, If you dont make
this, you are going to fall and it is
probably going to hurt. When I went
and hit it, it was full of water, but just
holding onto it and scrambling up the
top half of the boulder was a rush.
Being on top of this huge boulder was
awesome.
As Kalyn reminisced about other
climbs he had done, he mentioned
getting to the actual climb is some-
times half the battle.
There are so many memories to
pick from; there are a couple of spots
in Thailand that we climbed, but get-
ting to the climbing areas is almost
more fun than the climbing because
you have to hike through crazy
paths, Kayln said. In Thailand there
is forests and jungles; there was one
area where we had to hike up a super-
narrow canyon that was about
twenty-feet wide. At the top of the
slope there was a drop and then a pit.
You had to rappel down and
across this pit to get to the climbing
area, which was maybe an eight or
ten foot ledge that you stand on and
then you climb up from there and be-
low is a drop into the ocean. Those
kinds of things are really cool.
For Kalyn, it isnt just the places
he goes or the climbs he does but
rather the people he meets.
Just the people that you meet
climbing are awesome, he said.
When I was in Bishop, I met a couple
that was living out of there van. I
started climbing with them and it was
like we had been friends forever; its
just a really solid bond that exists be-
tween climbers.
Since Kalyn has had the incredi-
ble opportunity to climb in various
parts of the world, the new surround-
ings and experiences in other cultures
have been very benecial.
Traveling is always inspirational
that, along with positivity and being
a part of the climbing culture and ex-
periencing other cultures and open
mindedness and willingness to try
other things, Kalyn said. I wouldnt
be who I was had I not had that per-
spective.
While many people might stay in
a luxurious five-star resort during
their vacations, for Kalyn to truly ex-
perience another culture, he tries to
live as the locals do.
The biggest thing is that when
you travel to an area, if you are stay-
ing in resorts you arent really experi-
encing that culture, but when we were
climbing in Thailand we tried to really
experience it, Kalyn said. We took a
day to take a cooking class, we went
to an authentic Thai market where no
tourists go; no one spoke English, and
we stuck out so much. You see wild
and exciting stuff. When someone
hands you a beetle or ant eggs as a
snack you have the choice to think its
disgusting or try anything twice. That
has brought me perspective.
Although Kalyn has not done any
art pieces solely based on climbing,
he has been able to take the focus that
he has while climbing and translate it
to his art.
I dont really do a lot of art about
climbing. But [climbing] is just a good
thing to get into, its a good head-
space, he said. Especially when you
are climbing outside and among na-
ture it is a really good meditative feel-
ing and an awesome place to be, it
rejuvenates you.
While many would say that Kalyn
is an experienced climber, according
to him, his art is far from experienced.
Its developing, Kalyn said with
a laugh. I am trying to learn every-
thing that I can. I am passionate about
it and it is something that I love to
do. I talk about it all the time; people
are remarked by how much I talk
about it, but it is a huge part of my
life.
With convocation coming sooner
rather than later for Kalyn, he just
hopes that both climbing and art re-
main big parts in his life.
I would love to be climbing for-
ever. When I was living in Saskatoon
we had a couple of guys that were in
their 50s and 60s climbing and they
were still in super good shape, Kalyn
said. I would love to stay a part of
the climbing community, just nding
a place to climb is a hard thing in
Regina; there isnt a whole lot of op-
tions, but I would like to continue to
climb. As far as art goes, I will be mak-
ing art my entire life. Guaranteed.

Although the University of Regina
Cougars mens volleyball team has
not always been considered a top con-
tender, the team would like to prove
the critics wrong this year.
Throughout the preseason, which
consisted of three tournaments for the
Cougars, including the Super 8,
Cougar Invitational, and Husky Dino
Cup, Regina came out with a 4-8
record. The results may not have been
quite up to par, but head coach Greg
Barthel is happy with the outcomes of
the preseason.
It wasnt too bad; we performed
well and we had a lot of guys play,
Barthel said. By sure [statistics] prob-
ably not what we wanted, but as far as
when our guys were playing they
played pretty well. [Overall] their per-
formance was okay.
This year the Cougars lineup fea-
tures three Australian players. Matt
Hender is returning for his second
year with the team, while Andre
Borgeaud and Jacques Borgeaud have
also been added to the roster.
As far as recruiting these players
for Regina, Barthel admitted it takes
effort from both himself and the play-
ers.
Its a little bit of both [scouting
and seeking], he said. Last year we
had Matt [Hender] come and I had
found out about Matt through their
national team people. It was kind of
the same process with Andre and
Jacques. Matt talked to them a little bit
too; he had known Jacques before so
that worked out well.
Although Andre and Jacques may
be rookies, Barthel believes that
Jacques has the potential to make an
immediate impact.
Jacques coming in at the libero
position will contribute a lot; he stabi-
lizes our passing quite a bit, and our
defence, Barthel said.
While both Andre and Jacques are
in their rst year of eligibility, Barthel
expects it will be the fth-year players
who take on a bigger role with the
team this year.
This year, we have four fth-year
guys: Joel Colter, Drew Smith, Jamie
Wilkins, and Brody Waddell, Barthel
said. You expect those guys to be
pretty big contributors for your
group.
Aside from the veteran presence
that is sure to a strong part of the court
this year, Barthel said that younger
guys are stepping up as well.
We are seeing some good im-
provement from some of the guys that
have developed, he said. Nathan
Cherwaty has had a great preseason,
and hopefully with the year he had
[last year] I can expect him to con-
tribute this year as well.
Last year the team nished with a
2-16 record, something it looks to im-
prove on in the 2011-12 season.
We always want to go for the
playoffs; thats an attainable goal that
you always have to try and go for,
said Barthel, who is in his fth year
with the team. We realize that we are
not the biggest team, but I think it is a
definite goal that we want to try to
achieve.
With the ability to make a run for
the playoffs this year, Barthel would
like everyone to come and support
the team, namely students.
I think that if we had more stu-
dents come out it would help a lot.
Barthel said of the low attendance.
Most of the people that come watch
our games are not students; its either
alumni guys or parents or friends of
players, that type of thing or general
people from the volleyball commu-
nity. But there is denitely not a lot of
student population out.
There were still plenty of vacant
seats in the stands when the Cougars
took on the UBC Thunderbirds in
their rst pair of regular season games
last weekend. Although the Cougars
put up a good ght against the east
coast team, the Cougars nished the
weekend with two losses on their
record after set scores of 24-26, 25-23,
25-20, 25-11 on Oct. 28 and 25-16, 25-
16, 25-21 the very next night.
Students will have plenty of
chances to see the mens volleyball
team in action this year; their next
home game against provincial rivals
the Saskatchewan Huskies is sched-
uled for today at 8 p.m.
The University of Regina mens volleyball team looks
to make an impression
A set above the rest
The University of Regina Rams are set
to take on the powerhouse Calgary
Dinos in Canada West semi-nal ac-
tion Friday night in Cowtown after a
31-22 decision victory over the
Manitoba Bisons on Oct. 28.
The Rams have experienced so
many ups and downs this season that
it is a miracle the playoffs are here
and that the Rams are in them, for
that matter. Regina went from being
ranked rst in a conference preseason
coaches poll, to losing three straight
games along with its rst string quar-
terback in a matter of weeks.
After a few trial and errors with
second- and third-string quarterbacks,
as well as more injuries, converted
slotback Zach Oleynik provided a true
spark to the offence and essentially
got the ball rolling.
After rattling off two consecutive
wins against the Alberta Golden Bears
and Manitoba Bisons, everything was
looking up for the Rams and many
people believed that this would be the
turning point in their season.
To many peoples surprise and
some peoples disgust, the Rams lost
the next two games in a row.
Although both games came down to
the final play of the game, a loss is
still a loss, no matter how close the
score was.
The Rams hopes and dreams of a
playoff spot that at one time seemed
guaranteed came down to the final
game of the season in a clash against
the Bisons. It was a winner-takes-all
game, as the winner would move on
and the loser would be sent home
early, cut and dry with no strings at-
tached.
The Rams jumped on the gun
early and didnt stop ring until the -
nal minute of play. The Rams have
had a horrible habit of giving up half
time leads, but this game would be a
different story.
Amassive defensive play that oc-
curred just ve minutes into the con-
test had the Rams pumped more that
they already were. Linebacker Jorgen
Hus managed to block Manitobas
punt while defensive back Steven
Famulak had the quick thinking to
scoop of the ball and scamper into the
end zone to register a major for the
visitors.
Adrian Charles would be the next
to hit the end zone for the Rams after
catching a 13-yard pass from Oleynik
barely into the second. After a team
safety and two Chris Bodnar converts,
the Rams had a 15 point cushion over
the Bisons, though there was still 14
minutes left in the second quarter.
Manitoba was not about to give
up, as Khaleal Williams nished off a
four-play, 41-yard drive to put
Manitoba on the board just two min-
utes later. Anthony Coombs, who has
been a beast for the Bisons all season,
went to work for his team four min-
utes after that as he also capped a 41-
yard drive with a touchdown.
The Rams lead had suddenly
slipped to one point, but a second
touchdown by Charles with just un-
der three minutes left in the half put
them up by eight.
The Bisons werent ready for the
locker room as Nick Boyd hit a 26-
yard field goal to cut the lead back
down to ve points at the break.
An action-packed rst half paved
the way for the Bodnar show in the
second half of action.
Bodnar hit eld goals from 35, 43,
and 11 yards to put Regina up by two
touchdowns with one quarter left to
play. Manitoba would never be able to
fully make up the decit two team
safetys would be all the points that
Manitoba would muster in their last
half of football in 2011. The Rams
went on to secure the victory and a
spot in the postseason.
With the regular season behind
them Regina will be preparing to take
on the No. 1 team in the conference.
Although the odds are not necessarily
in the Rams favour heading into the
game, anything can happen that is
the beauty of football.
Calgary is currently riding an
eight-game winning streak against the
Rams and has won three out of the
past four playoff battles between the
two teams. The time is now for the
Rams to stop the streak.
Friday nights game will be a bat-
tle of the running backs, as the rst-
and second-ranked players go to
work. Steven Lumbala vs. Adrian
Charles will be a battle in itself to see
who best running back in the CIS is.
Consequently, it will be a defen-
sive showdown, as both teams will be
looking to eliminate the other teams
running back whichever team stops
the run will win the game.
What started as a season with so
much promise has gone through
many setbacks, but ultimately the
Rams are right where they need to be.
Its the playoffs, its a new season, and
anything goes.

The mens volleyball team looks to nish out of last place this year
sports the carillon | Nov. 3 - 9, 2011 12
In the future, Paul Grebinski, a rst-
year education student at the
University of Regina, is hoping to
make his living by teaching in class-
rooms.
In the meantime, however, this
amateur wrestler for the Cougars and
undefeated amateur mixed martial
artist spends his time trying to teach
his opponents lessons on the mats and
in the ring.
Nearly a lifelong martial artist,
Grebinski rst took to wrestling at a
young age.
I started wrestling when I was
very young. My dad used to wrestle
and I would go around with them,
running around on the mats,
Grebinski said with a laugh. I wres-
tled until I was about 11, but I got to
be too busy with hockey.
After a hiatus from the sport,
Grebinski began wrestling again as a
sophomore at Archbishop MC ONeill
High School in Regina.
My high school didnt have a
wrestling program in my Grade 9
year, Grebinski explained. If they
would have had one, I would have
started wrestling again sooner. As
soon as they established a program,
though, I signed up.
After wrestling for three years in
high school, Grebinski was looking to
take on a new challenge and a few
years ago joined Complete MMA, a
martial arts academy in downtown
Regina. Here he decided to try his
hand at Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
I had wrestled in the past, obvi-
ously, and I really had an urge to do
something new, Grebinski said. I
had heard a lot about AJ Scales who
is a phenomenal grappler who had
a good school of guys at Complete.
One day I decided to check it out.
Immediately, it reminded of being in
wrestling and I fell in love with the
sport right away.
Although Grebinski claimed he
didnt intend on competing as a
mixed martial artist when he first
started training at Complete MMA,
since deciding to try his hand at the
sport he has yet to look back.
I was just hungry for a new chal-
lenge and I always thought, in the
back of my mind, that this would be
something that I could do well in,
Grebinski said. Now, I just want to
take tough ghts and work my way
up. Its not going to be easy this is a
very difcult sport but Im ready to
put everything I have into succeed-
ing in mixed martial arts.
Grebinski, who is tentatively
scheduled to return to the ring in
Regina in early December, has big
plans in both wrestling and mixed
martial arts moving forward.
In wrestling, I want to medal at
the CIS championships thats on a
personal level, but I want to see the
team win a national championship,
he said. It hasnt happened for a few
years, but weve got quite a team and
I feel that goal is within reach.
I would like to see myself com-
peting at the highest level in mixed
martial arts, too. Fighting in the UFC
would be an awesome opportunity.
While Grebinskis aspirations in
athletics are ambitious to say the least,
a career in the classroom is what the
27-year-old Regina product has his
sights set on.
I denitely want to be a teacher
and work with at-risk youth,
Grebinski, who has helped coach the
Sheldon-Williams Collegiate
wrestling program for the last several
years, said. I feel that I have a lot to
offer kids and I really want to help
kids that may have not gotten some of
the opportunities that they should
have gotten.
I changed my mind a few times
when I was younger, but I have al-
ways wanted to be a teacher. Ive al-
ways been told that I was good with
kids. I think that that would be a very
rewarding and challenging career.
Eight games into the regular season
and members of the University of
Regina Cougars mens hockey team
are already bettering last seasons to-
tals.
The improvement in statistics
could either mean that rookies on last
years team were adjusting to the CIS
game, or maybe that they had an off-
year. Its also possible that veterans
were snakebitten or that team just
sucked. Whatever the case may be,
things appear to be taking a turn for
the better this year.
Regina has seen Matt Strueby put
up eight points, just one shy of his to-
tal last season in 26 games. With his
four goals and four assists so far in
regular season action, Strueby sits
eighth on the Canada West scorers list
and rst on the Cougars for overall
point totals. He is also tied for rst on
the team in goal scoring. The confer-
ence list claims that Strueby is a
rookie, which he clearly is not.
According to the Canada West rookie
scoring stats, Strueby is second in the
league; way to drop the ball on that
one, Canada West.
Lucas Isley, who is returning for
his third year of eligibility, has been
able to rack up seven points during
the first eight games of the season.
Isley also nished with nine points in
total last year in 27 games played
barring a season-ending injury he will
surely top that this year. Isleys three
goals and four assists put him at No.
12 on the Canada West top scorers list.
Once again, the list claims that Isley is
also a rookie, yet they dont have him
listed as a rookie in exhibition scoring.
Theyre really having trouble with this
list of theirs.
Last season Terrance DeLaronde
emerged as one of the teams go-to for-
wards. After racking up 14 points in
24 games last season, DeLaronde n-
ished 38th overall in scoring and sec-
ond on the Cougars just behind de-
fenceman Dillon Johnstone. This
season, DeLaronde appears to be at it
again, posting six points in as many
games. He is currently tied with
Strueby for team goal scoring and is
third on the Cougars for overall
points. DeLaronde currently sits at
first on the plus-minus scale, some-
thing that he will look to keep on the
positive end after nishing with a mi-
nus 13 in 2010-11.
Captain Russ Neilson sits fth in
Canada West for defenceman scoring
with four points in eight games. The
four points that Neilson has already
plotted this season matches his season
total from last year, which he earned
over the course of 21 games.
Matt Sawa has also matched his
point total from last season. Although
it was only one, Sawa played 25
games to get one point last year, while
he only had to play in six to get an as-
sist on the board this year.
As far as true rookies are con-
cerned, Tyler Henry is leading the
way for the Cougars with six points in
eight games. If the Canada West web-
site was at all right with naming rook-
ies, Henry would probably sit around
third, but instead he is supposedly
eighth.
Lucas Gore has had a stellar
rookie campaign in goal for the
Cougars thus far, sitting at a .912 save
percentage after seeing action in seven
of the teams eight games. Gore was in
goal during both of the teams wins
and they surly could not have gotten
the W without Gore standing on his
head on more than a few occasions.
Despite the improvements from
nearly every member of the team, the
Cougars still sit in last place in the
conference with a 2-5-1 record. The
Cougars will look to get out of the
basement this weekend when they are
scheduled to take on the Calgary
Dinos (5-3) at the Co-operators
Centre. The puck drops at 7 p.m.

The most important single inuence
in the life of a person is another per-
son ... who is worthy of emulation,
said Dr. Paul D. Shafer, former presi-
dent of the Packer Collegiate Institute
in Brooklyn Heights.
Muhsin Corbbrey, a three-sport
professional athlete, martial arts acad-
emy owner, family man, and student
is, for all intent and purposes, a per-
son worthy of emulation.
Born and raised in Oklahoma,
Corbbrey grew up in what he dubbed
extreme poverty, living in both his
mothers trailer in the country and his
fathers home in the city.
Fortunately Corbbrey, who shud-
dered when thinking about where he
might be had he not found an outlet
for his energy in his youth, became
infatuated with martial arts at a
young age. In the world of combat
sports, Corbbrey not only found an
outlet for his energy, but also a means
to remove himself from the poverty
that he was seemingly born into.
Martial arts have been a huge
part of my life, he said. I cant re-
member a point in my life when mar-
tial arts didnt play a major role in my
life.
As a kid, I always wanted some-
thing better for myself and for the
people around me. Martial arts al-
ways gave me that. I realized really
early on that martial arts could make
me a better person too, because it
gives you the tools that you need to be
successful.
Since focusing his efforts on mar-
tial arts, Corbbrey has contested over
a dozen boxing matches and has trav-
eled to Thailand to train and compete
as a professional Muay Thai kick-
boxer.
While the 33-year-old still intends
on competing in boxing and kickbox-
ing in the future, it has been the world
of mixed martial arts where he has
made the biggest impact.
Widely regarded as one of the top
mixed martial artists to not yet com-
pete in the UFC, Corbbrey has con-
tested bouts in ShoXC, EliteXC, and
the WEC. During that time, he has
been in the ring with ghters like Nick
Diaz, Jim Miller, and Anthony
Njokuani.?
Outside of his own fighting ca-
reer, Corbbreys martial arts academy
in Savannah, Georgia, Champions
Training Center, is home to dozens of
amateur and professional mixed mar-
tial artists including Stephen Bass,
who appeared on Season 14 of The
Ultimate Fighter reality show.
Although Corbbrey still has lofty
aspirations in combat sports, as per
his intentions since the very begin-
ning, he is still planning on using his
time in the fight-game as merely a
means to an end.
Just like everyone else in this
sport, my eyes are on the prize, so of
course that UFC run is the major goal
at this point. Were hustling and
everything that we do is to show these
guys that we deserve to be in the
mix, said Corbbrey, who will likely
return to the ring in December. I
know and everybody thats seen me
ght knows that Im one of the best
guys out there. Ive just got to put it
together and show these guys that I
can do it.
My goals have always been in-
tertwined, though. I have things that
I want to accomplish in the fight-
world, but I have very specic goals in
activism and changes in the real world
that I want to see made. There is a lot
of work to be done.
In an effort to accomplish his
goals outside of martial arts, Corbbrey
has been a full-time university stu-
dent for the last year and a half.
I decided to go back to school to
get my undergraduate degree in polit-
ical science and to minor in journal-
ism, he said. Ill go for my masters
in public administration. By then, I
should be done with ghting and Ill
probably go to law school.
With his education and the plat-
form that he has established from the
fight-game Corbbrey is hoping to
devote his life to inspiring social
change for future generations.
According to Corbbrey, who is just as
comfortable conversing about the con-
flict in Libya and campaign finance
laws as he is about martial arts and
training, this is the end that he has
long been working towards.??
Why then, is a man that could
easily make a handsome living off of
collecting ght purses and gym-dues,
striving for more than a comfortable
living in the world of martial arts??
Were here to progress. Unless
we all progress and try to attain
knowledge, the people that are con-
trolling us because we are being
controlled right now are going to
continue to control us. I just want to
make a change and educate people on
how we can make this thing work for
us, Corbbrey, who earned a degree in
public health in the mid-2000s, ex-
plained. At the end of the day, our
founding fathers created this for us.
This system is set up for us to have
control of, but weve just given it
away weve given it away. None of
this stuff would happen unless we let
it happen and were letting it happen.
I want to educate people about that.
Its all up to us, he added. Im
just trying to do my part. I accept that
I'm a role model, but that is not why I
do this. God willing, Ill be remem-
bered for the positive things that I
do.

The early days of November are tran-
sitional for sports fans. These are the
days where the baseball buffs watch
hockey and the football fanatics fol-
low basketball. Although it is under-
standable to create new sports
memories in 2011, its always good to
take a step back and appreciate some
of the key events that have revolu-
tionized a sport or an athletes career.
Removing a colour barrier in the
PGA, a trade that started a goal-
tenders career, and an all-star selec-
tion that helped propel two local
University of Regina Rams onto our
CFL team highlight this weeks Sports

Nov. 3, 1987 Oakland Athletics rst
basema, Mark McGuire wins the MLB
ALrookie-ofthe-year award. During
the 1987-88 season, McGuire hits 49
home runs to set a single-season
rookie record. McGuire eventually n-
ishes his 16-year career with 583 home
runs and was selected to the all-star
team 12 times.
Nov. 4, 2008 University of Regina
Rams Teale Orban, Luke Derkson,
Jordan Sisco, Nick Hutchins, and
Brandon Ganne are all named Canada
West all-stars. Both Hutchins and
Sisco go on to play for the
Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Nov. 5, 1967 The New Orleans Saints
earn their first NFL victory in fran-
chise history by defeating the
Philadelphia Eagles 31-24. The Saints
nish with a 3-11-0 record and miss
the postseason in their rst year of ex-
istence.
Nov. 6, 2010 The University of
Regina Cougars womens basketball
team defeats the Lethbridge
Pronghorns 68-46 in regular-season
action. With the victory, the Cougars
push their win streak to four.
Nov. 7, 2009 The Saskatchewan
Roughriders defeated the Calgary
Stampeders 30-14 to nish off the 2009
CFL regular season. The game served
as John Chicks last regular-season
game with the team. The defencive
end went on to play in the NFL and
signed with the Indianapolis Colts as
part of their practice squad. In 2011,
Chick signed with the Jacksonville
Jaguars and is currently on their active
roster.
Nov. 8, 1991 Pittsburgh Penguins
defenceman, Paul Coffey scored his
311th goal to set the NHLdefenceman
scoring record for most goals by a de-
fenceman in their career. The only ac-
tive NHL defenceman that comes
even close to Coffeys career goal total
is the Detroit Redwings Nicklas
Lidstrom. Lidstrom is 143 goals short
from tying Coffeys record.
Nov. 9, 1961 The Professional
Golfers Association (PGA) eliminated
the rule that limited its membership to
only white people and those from the
Western Hemisphere. Prior to this
rule, non whites were able to play on
the PGATour, but werent allowed to
join the club itself. Charlie Sifford, an
African-American, earned $1,300
while playing on the PGA tour in
1961. Without this rule, golfers like
Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh would
not have been able to join the PGA.
Honorable mention
Nov. 4, 1984 This will forever be re-
membered as a date that kickstarted
an athletes career. Although it may
not be a milestone, or a record, a trade
took place on Nov. 4 that dened the
career of a remarkable NHL goal-
tender.
On this date, the Winnipeg Jets
traded their third-round pick in 1984
to the Montreal Canadiens for de-
fenceman Robert Picard. Montreal
used its third-round pick to draft a
young, energetic, Patrick Roy. Roy
went on to become a three-time
Vezina Trophy winner for best goal-
tender during the NHLs regular sea-
son; he was also a three-time Stanley
Cup winner and an 11-time NHL all-
star during 18 seasons spent in the
show. Roy made such a great impact
on both organizations he played for
that, besides being named a Hockey
Hall of Fame inductee in 2006, the
Canadiens and the Colorado
Avalanche retired his No. 33 jersey.

The University of Regina is at a tip-
ping point
That is an excerpt from the uni-
versitys 2011 Campus Master Plan
document released earlier this month.
This year, the U of R has more stu-
dents than it has had in the last seven.
However, a lot has changed over that
time, leaving many students wonder-
ing if our current infrastructure is up
to date and can handle this new vol-
ume of students walking the halls.
With a new nursing program guaran-
teeing even more undergraduates in
the future, the need to adequate infra-
structure and facilities has never been
greater.
The 2011 Campus Master Plan
document reveals our administra-
tions plans to improve and develop
the university and accommodate the
growing needs of an ever-increasing
student body. In addition to plans for
new buildings, parking spaces, serv-
ices, etc., there are other issues on the
minds of students regarding the uni-
versitys email service, library com-
puters, expensive TVs around
campus, WiFi, and transit.
The U of R expects that enroll-
ment rates could continue increase by
as much as 52 per cent from current
levels if its high-growth estimates
are correct. The universitys plan in-
cludes not only additions to school
infrastructure, but the improvement
of what is already in place.
The most sustainable building
that we can build is the one that we
dont build, Nelson Wagner, VP of
facilities management at the
University of Regina, told the Carillon
in and interview. Better use of what
we have is the key to a more sustain-
able future.
The U of R campus master plan is
the continuation of a similar docu-
ment made in 2004. The document
was about 18 months in the making
and outlines everything, in terms of
infrastructure, the university is plan-
ning to implement in the future.
The plan aims to carry over some
of the 2004 strategies: work on more
efficient utilization of the space we
have, increase parking spaces, and im-
prove transit options, growing the
university to a level of critical mass,
at which time the campus will have a
large enough population to support
more advanced infrastructure, and
improving the overall look of the
school.
While the document focuses on
the changes made to the actual build-
ing around the campus, as well as re-
quests for capital funding and
improvements to the appearance of
university structures, there are some
issues that hit home for students on a
more immediate level.
Several concerns have been raised
around campus regarding infrastruc-
ture issues like the U of R web mail,
television advertising around campus,
student housing, and the disappear-
ance of library computers.
The Carillon had the opportunity
to sit down with several members of
school administration, as well as stu-
dents, to discuss the future of the
University of Reginas infrastructure
system, what the future holds, and
the current state of the more accessible
facets of the infrastructure system.
I have no idea what this special
project is, but I hope its worth it.
Finding a computer in the lab is
almost a waste of time. We have
to walk around for a long time
before one opens up.
Robert Kim, U of R computer
science student
At the beginning of this years fall se-
mester, many students were surprised
to see that almost half of the library
computers had been removed. In their
place, a mysterious wall partitioned a
construction area from the rest of the
library. A sign on the door that read
special project provided additional
intrigue, as well as confusion, into
what the new space was going to be
used for and where the computers
that used to occupy the space had
gone.
This is partially related to the
new nursing faculty, Wagner said.
We had a challenge with [the nursing
faculty] because we didnt have the
full amount of infrastructure needed
to house that whole faculty, especially
when it comes up to full strength.
The new nursing faculty has
brought just under 200 new students
with it, and more are on the way.
Two questions arise from the new
project in the library: what will the
space be used for and where did the
computers that once occupied the
space go?
According to Wagner, the project
in the library has two parts.
The first involves two series of
private work facilities that run along
the sides of the main structure. These
rooms are equipped to facilitate group
work in a convenient and private at-
mosphere.
[These rooms] will have a state
of the art system, Wagner said. You
can already see the LED screens in
there. They have the capability to be
hooked up to four or ve laptops at
once, which allows for a lot of team
work to be done in there.
In the main area, located in be-
tween the outer rows of team rooms,
there will be two new computer labs.
Although the details on the labs them-
selves are vague, Wagner stated that
students and teachers will use the labs
for a variety of purposes.
There will be a xed lab and a
variable lab, with a wall in the middle,
and we will be able to move the wall
to combine the two labs into one, he
said. Its for both students and teach-
ing. Teachers will be able to use the
technology in the lab to learn how to
teach better, and everyone in the com-
munity will be able to use them for
several purposes.
However great the new work sta-
tions promise to be, there is still a nag-
ging problem, where did the other 50
computers go?
Second-year English major
Andrew Filer, like many students, is
feeling the pressure put on by the high
demand and low supply of comput-
ers.
Its so difcult to get a hold of
one of the main-oor machines, he
said. There [are] always lots of peo-
ple waiting for a computer.
Sometimes I will skip class because I
know that if I leave I might not be
able to get a computer when I get
back. It is stressful to think that I
might not be able to get a spot when I
really need one.
Unbeknownst to many students
is the sixth oor computer lab, which
holds another 30 additional comput-
ers. However, access to these ma-
chines is not guaranteed either, as
space is frequently booked by various
classes. During these classes, as a mat-
ter of principle, no outside students
are allowed to use the computers,
even if the class using the sixth oor
lab only contains a handful of stu-
dents.
Wagner said the low supply of
computers will not be permanent.
When the construction within the li-
brary is complete, upwards of 30
news computers will be available to
anyone in the community. In addition
to that, 16 more will be placed around
numerous library oors.
The project is on the tail end of
completion, which should come as a
great relief to students like Kim and
Filer, who are becoming agitated with
the highly competitive environment
surrounding the library computers.
I have developed a strategy for
getting a spot when I need it, Kim
said. Can you believe that? Ive had
to develop a strategy for sitting down
to use a computer, or I might not get
one.
Time will soon tell if these new fa-
cilities will be an adequate replace-
ment to the 50 missing computers that
were available to students last semes-
ter.

Renovations in the library
The University of Regina is at a tipping point
U of Rs infrastructure needs improvment

Almost every student on campus has
noticed the plethora of plasma TVs
scattered around the school. However,
many students are perplexed as to the
purpose of such a seemingly expen-
sive way of displaying advertising.
Many are quick to dismiss the
TVs as a crude attempt to make the
university look sleeker and techno-
logically up to date.
According to University of Regina
Students Union President Kent
Peterson, the TVs primary purpose is
to help get their message to students,
while generating revenue for the stu-
dents union at the same time.
They let students know about
events that the students union is ad-
vertising. We are using it to let stu-
dents know about the Our Future is
Now campaign, for example, he said.
I guess the other purpose is that its
a revenue generator we get 6,500
dollars a year, just from the other ads
alone.
URSU doesnt get ad money from
the individual advertisers; its contract
is with Captive Audience, a
Saskatchewan based non-tradi-
tional marketing company. For stu-
dents who think that URSU is wasting
money on plasma TVs, Captive
Audience supplies them. They give
URSU $6,500 a year to place their ad-
vertising televisions around the cam-
pus, and in return URSU gets
one-third of the total full-screen ad-
vertisements that appear on the
screen.
Essentially, Captive Audience
pays URSU to advertise on campus
while giving them free space to adver-
tise their own union messages.
The 6,500 dollars they generate
help to subsidize the other things we
do, Peterson said. So if we are print-
ing out poster for the UR Pride, that
6,500 dollars helps to subsidize that.
Or maybe our graphics designer
makes different ads for posters or on-
line that money helps to subsidize
his wages.
While the financial benefit to
URSU is indisputable, the effective-
ness of getting its message out there is
not so black and white. Judging the ef-
fectiveness of advertising is a tricky is-
sue, as it is difficult to quantify the
success of advertising, or trace a suc-
cessful event turnout back to well
placed ads.
Peterson believes that the ads
around school do work effectively.
People do notice them, he said.
It seems like they are kind of off in
the background. You would be sur-
prised how many people look at
them, whether they are in line at Tim
Hortons or standing waiting for an
elevator.
Several criticisms from students
have emerged around the fact that
many of these televisions appear to
be turned off most of the time.
However, which TV is on and which
TV is off appears to be inconsistent.
At 4:30pm on a Monday, the
Carillon took a gander around the
school to investigate the issue. We
found that out of 18 URSU run TVs,
only two were displaying any kind of
message.
In terms of them being off, they
shouldnt be, Peterson said. If they
are off, they either need maintenance
or to be turned back on. Be we havent
really encountered too much prob-
lems with that generally.
When it comes to student issues
about TVs not operating, Wagner has
heard the complaints before.
It is interesting you bring that
up; its the second time I have heard
that complaint recently, he said. It is
something I need to talk to URSU
about, because if they are not keeping
them going, it is part of their agree-
ment to keep them going and up and
running.
Regardless of the confusion on the
issue, the fact remains that during our
survey of the TVs around campus,
only 11 per cent of the televisions were
displaying messages. However, it is
unclear if the students on campus
even mind.
People do notice them ... You would be
suprised how many people look at them

I didnt know it was possible to
have email this bad. Sebastian
Kuefer, U of R political science stu-
dent
Im not sure why they even have
it. Pretty much any free email ac-
count out there is better than
what you get here at the U of R.
Its just sad. Mathew Benoit, ne
arts student
One of the biggest black marks on the
U of Rs technical infrastructure sys-
tem is the U of R webmail. Even with
the recent improvements to the sys-
tem, the universitys email offering is
one of the worst email networks on
the Internet.
Despite a new facelift, the univer-
sitys webmail service is plagued by a
horrifyingly small amount of mem-
ory, an awkward deletion process,
mailing lists that are impossible for
user to be removed from the list goes
on.
At this point, the university web-
mail appears to be more useful as am-
munition for student griping, rather
than a legitimate communications
service. University administration ap-
pears to be aware of this.
We are not currently providing
an acceptable email service to stu-
dents, Art Exner, director of commu-
nications and infrastructure
information services, said. We have
plans to make some serious changes
in the future.
Although the university has re-
cently changed the web interface for
their mail service, which certainly
makes the webmail more visually ap-
pealing, the system the email runs on
still has some of the same old prob-
lems, which render it almost unusable
to people looking for a legitimate
email service.
The U of R webmail offers stu-
dents a minuscule 25 megabytes of
storage. Googles free email service,
Gmail, offers seven gigabytes of stor-
age, roughly 300 times the level of the
U of R email.
Small storage space is a huge
problem for perspective email users,
and it is a problem that is com-
pounded by another aw in the uni-
versitys email system.
If you send an email to a student
who is at their quota [of memory stor-
age], Exner said. The message is not
bounced back to you as the sender, so
you dont know that the person you
intended to send it to didnt get the
message. And the student doesnt re-
ceive any indication that there was a
message that the system could not de-
liver.
Then the message gets, what we
call, black holed, meaning its not
deleted, but it goes some place where
nobody is going to look at it.
Exner pointed out that this can
have very troublesome consequences.
He spoke of various hypothetical sit-
uations where important messages
about tuition fees, or important
events, are lost forever, while the
sender thinks the message has been
delivered, and the potential recipient
has no idea someone even attempted
to send them an email.
Exner is by no way delusional
about the poor quality to the univer-
sitys web mail.
We are going to change it, he
said. It is too early in the conversa-
tion to tell you what those changes
might be, but what we have is just not
acceptable in my view.
In addition, other email services,
like Gmail, can be directly connected
to mobile devices, U of R web mail
cannot.
Without sweeping changes to the
web mail system, U of R web mail is
destined to be a major black mark on
the universitys technical infrastruc-
ture. It either needs to be corrected, or
removed permanently.
Living on campus makes things a
lot easier. Being immersed in the
university atmosphere seems to
motivate me to work harder.
Bianca Robinson, U of R ne arts
student
Housing poses an additional problem
for legions of students every year; the
lack of affordable housing compounds
the issue for many students who al-
ready have a difcult time balancing
the books.
While many students seem to de-
sire as much time away from the uni-
versity as possible, the history of
college and university students living
in campus residence runs deep.
Indeed, in the early days of the
University of Regina, all students
were required to live on residence if
they wanted to attend school.
The universitys Campus Master
plan clearly states its intention of in-
creasing the availability of student
housing. The document claims aca-
demic studies show that students who
live on campus perform better than
those who dont. Although these
studies are never clearly named in the
Master Plan document, the message is
clear: the U of R wants more of its stu-
dents living on campus.
As it stands right now, the cam-
pus residence bed can hold around 15
per cent of the student population.
According to the campus master plan,
the university wants to get that num-
ber up to 20 per cent
We have a proposal that we hope
will be approved by the provincial
government, Wagner stated. It obvi-
ously wont be approved by the
provincial government before the
election. But we have requested 606
new beds.
The injection of 606 new beds
would beef up the U of R residence
bed total to 1,828.
The university believes that more
students living on campus will create
a better campus. The Master Plan doc-
ument points to several, unnamed
studies that claim more residence
space helps universities to compete
for international students, while fa-
cilitating a more active and vibrant
campus environment, supporting a
more comprehensive range of serv-
ices and amenities.
We are not currently providing an acceptable
email service to students.

Terrible Film Festival showcases student filmmakers at their
most vulnerable
Troy Jul
Gerald Saul does his thing loading traditional 16mm lm into a projector
Terrible Film Festival
Creative City Centre
Nov. 4
8 p.m.
Free admission
Ive never had a good lm festival,
said a chuckling Gerald Saul, a profes-
sor in media production and studies
at the University of Regina. Sauls de-
cided to roll with the punches; this
Friday, the students in his Directing
the Experimental Film course are put-
ting on the tenth annual Terrible Film
Festival.
The focus of the Terrible Film
Festival is not so much creating con-
ventionally enjoyable lms, but ones
that challenge and engage the audi-
ence in ways they havent before.
Some of them are good, and
some of them arent, Saul said with a
laugh. We just live with it. This par-
ticular festival is mostly about break-
ing rules. Ive been saying in this
course that we can break every rule as
long as you have a reason.
The Terrible Film Festival is much
smaller and quite different than tradi-
tional lm festivals.
A lot of film festivals are very
big. They require advertising, various
promotion, communication with peo-
ple in other cities, and bringing to-
gether all of these things, Saul said.
Were dispensing with all of that, and
were going to just get our lms, and
ready or not here they come. Lets go
out and book a small venue, put a
projector in the middle of the room,
and show them.
The low-tech films and do-it-
yourself nature of the festival likely
wont attract large crowds, but thats
not a large concern for Saul.
Were not worrying about mak-
ing a prot with it; these are lms that
will never make a profit, he said.
Theyre not commercial lms at all.
Theyre not the sort of things that peo-
ple are paying money to go see in
most cases. I still think they can be
enjoyed.
Even if the enjoyment doesnt
come from the screen, it comes from
the event. It comes from everybody
coming together in one room and
laughing and cheering and mocking
and whatever theyre going to do. Its
about not getting caught up in think-
ing if its going to affect your future or
career in lm. Lets use our skills to
have some fun and share something
with some people.
One of the goals of the festival is
to make students comfortable with
imperfections and problems with
their work.
One of the main purposes is to
have some pride in what youre do-
ing, to be able to go out in public and
say, This work may not be perfect. In
fact, its the antithesis of perfect
work, Saul said. It cant be rened
all that well because its made using
so many chaotic principles; by nature
its going to be imperfect work. The
students have to rise above that and
say, Im going to show this anyways.
Im going to go out in public and
show this work even though it is in-
herently awed.
Saul believes that this attitude is
necessary to develop for a future in
lmmaking where problems and com-
plications inevitably arise.
The reality is theyre never going
to be able to make perfect work, Saul
said. You never have enough money.
You never have the right conditions.
You never have everything right that
you could say, I would never change
a thing in this.
Hopefully it will get closer to
perfection than in this class, but they
cant have perfection. This way they
start to have to suppress their ego a
little bit and still be proud of their
lm. I still think an audience can enjoy
something that isnt perfect.
The films in the Terrible Film
Festival are all shot with film. This
may seem obvious, but it is actually
becoming less and less common in the
age of digital photography, which is
one of the reasons that Saul started
the festival.
Once you get out of second year,
you dont really have to use cameras
anymore. Its all digitally based. Using
film is pretty neat because you just
dont get to use it very often, said
Luke Patterson, a fifth-year media
production student.
Saul noted this emphasis on dig-
ital divorces students from the
medium that started it all.
You learn a lot from eavesdrop-
ping on students. I was listening to
students talking one day, and one guy
was saying that he was a fourth-year
film student at the time, and hes
never shot a roll of lm. That just hurt
me because I love lm. Thats what I
learned to use, Saul said. I thought
that at the very least, Ill make sure
my students shoot a little bit of lm.
Even if it wasnt a good film they
made, at least they made a lm.
Furthermore, the films are all
hand-processed. Generally, lms are
sent to a laboratory to be carefully de-
veloped with chemicals and ma-
chines, but they were done by the
students hands in a darkroom at the
university and then dried in the sun.
The films are also manipulated in
other ways such as applying colour
directly to the lm.
There are scratches, and gouges,
and problems. Every time you see a
scratch on the screen, thats something
that the lmmakers handmade, said
Saul. The hand of the lmmaker is
evident on the screen at every mo-
ment.
Despite being lmed for the big
screen, some of these experimental
films wont even be displayed on a
screen at all. In the past, lms have
been shown on cloth, oors, ceilings,
bodies, and reected surfaces.
I know that one person is going
to project onto cloth or leaves or
something, said Saul. Another cou-
ple people are undecided as to exactly
how theyre going to be projected.
Doing this further plays on the
aforementioned notion of the Terrible
Film Festivals attempt to challenge
cinema.
[We want to] wake up an audi-
ence and show them that all the things
they expect from cinema arent neces-
sarily absolutes, said Saul. Just be-
cause for the last 100 years weve been
presenting things on a screen in a rec-
tangle doesnt mean that they have to
be on a rectangular screen, or that
theyre run at twenty-four frames per
second, or in colour, or have a story.
[We want to] wake up an audience and
show them that all the things they expect from
cinema arent necessarily absolutes.

Dont dream it. Be it.
This is the supposed moral of The
Rocky Horror Show. Or at least, this is
the moral that the play likes to point
to as the moral, but more likely is just
another of the plays tongue-in-cheek
moments where it doesnt mean it
says.
The Rocky Horror Show is famous
for its subversive and transgressive
content, presenting sexualities that are
fluid, challenging the so-called nor-
mative sexualities embodied in Brad
and Janet.
These elements are common to all
performances of The Rocky Horror
Show, including the performance by a
group of local volunteers performing
the show as a fundraiser for Do It
With Class (DIWC) Young Peoples
Theatre. The show presents sexuali-
ties that are subversive, transgressive,
and generally speaking are supposed
to challenge the way we understand
sexuality.
Or does it?
I think the show, and the perform-
ers, think the show presents transgres-
sive sexualities. For what could be
more transgressive that presenting
what the press release for the show
terms as bisexual mad scientist
transvestite who creates the perfect
man the titular Rocky as a tool for
him to get his rocks off?
Maybe in normative
Saskatchewan communities sexuali-
ties like this are transgressive, but re-
ally, these just a kitschy and quaint
diversion from the norm before the
actors return to their regular lives. The
show plays for camp, and plays it
well, being a postmodern pastiche of
campy 1950s B-movies, specifically
science-ction and horror lms, and a
send up to its tropes of created mon-
sters, advanced technology, and alien
gures.
And the performance that took
place this past weekend gets that. In
fact, the performance gets everything
about The Rocky Horror Show right.
The cast and crew understand exactly
what is so appealing about The Rocky
Horror Show, and succeeds in giving
the audience exactly that: campy,
kitschy fun. The performance, which
in previous years has been censored
and cleaned up for its teenage cast,
gives the audience all of the sex, all of
the camp, and all of fun that its adult
cast can give it.
But thats just the problem with
DIWCs production of The Rocky
Horror Show: it gets everything that
its supposed to get right, and just
leaves it at that. The show does not
give Reginans anything different from
what they can usually expect. If
youve seen the cult-classic lm adap-
tation, The Rocky Horror Picture Show,
then youve seen the production that
I saw this weekend.
This isnt necessarily a bad thing.
The production takes the most enjoy-
able parts of the lm culture, like au-
dience participation, and welcomes it
into its performance, offering goodie
bags of props to audience members
for a small fee so they can throw the
rice, shoot the water pistol, and shine
the light just like their midnight
screening compatriots do.
The production also incorporates
all of the most recognizable aesthetic
elements from the film: Frank-N-
Furters red corset, Brads thick-
rimmed glasses, and Columbias
vibrant red hair give the production a
familiarity that is welcoming and fa-
miliar.
Their rendition of The Time
Warp, which could have been a dan-
gerously rote and boring performance
of the classic song and dance, was par-
ticularly inspired and rousing. This is
due in no small part to Joel Stratton,
who played Riff-Raff and the lead
voice in the song. Though classically
trained, Stratton has an indelible rock
voice that gives the song the life it de-
serves.
The performance of the song was
vibrant and immediate, and instead of
rousing the audience to their feet to
join in, kept them in their seats (except
for a handful of exceptionally excited
or drunk patrons). How often does
keeping the audience in their seat for
The Time Warp work? Probably not
that often, but this production got it
right.
From there, though, there werent
many big surprises. If the cast and
crew attempted to queer this already
queer text, to give us something dif-
ferent, Im not sure if they succeeded.
Perhaps the biggest surprise this
year was having a Rocky who was ac-
tually a specimen Charles Atlas
would be proud of. Previous Regina
Rockys, though attractive and
blonde, were a bit doughy and not the
chiseled specimen required of the role.
Paul Gilberts Rocky is the right
amount of sweetly naive and erotic
sex god, helped mostly by his win-
ning smile and incredibly well-de-
ned physique.
The play got a little tired and
uninspired by the end of it, as by the
end of the Floor Show number the ac-
tors were visibly fatigued and didnt
move with the same vivacity we saw
in Act I. But despite this, as the play
ended and Lyndon Brays slightly un-
settling Frank-N-Furter met his in-
evitable demise, they managed to pull
it all off.
It was safe, but at least it was suc-
cessful.
The Rocky Horror Show gets it right by playing it safe
Lets do the time warp
again

This weekend, moviegoers can head
downtown to the Regina Public
Library to take in some free animation
events hosted by the National Film
Board of Canada (NFB). This event is
one of 20 being held across the coun-
try in the NFBs Get Animated! series.
Since the lm board was started
in 1939 it has always been involved
with animation, said Roddy
McManus, executive producer for the
NFB.
McManus is excited for this event,
not only because it is getting back to
the NFBs animation roots, but also
how they use to show lms.
The NFB used to take lms out
to the people, he said. Watching
movies has changed; everyone
watches them on their [computers]
now. It is a much different experience
watching them in a theatre.
On Saturday, Get Animated! is
hosting its family programming,
which is being advertised as a fun-
lled selection of NFB lms, featuring
some of the NFBs newest animation
for kids of all age.
The list of lms include Big Drive
by Anita Lebeau, Private Eyes by
Nicola Lemay, The Girl Who Hated
Books by Jo Meuris, Waseteg by Phyllis
Grant, and Animate Everything!
Animate Everything! introduces
kids to the world of animation
through animation. The film is di-
vided into four chapters, so kids can
easily follow along and get engaged.
Lebeaus film, Big Drive, is the
story of a family road trip across the
Canadian prairies during the 1970s.
In an era before in-car movies and
video games, four sisters squeeze into
the back of the family car for a long
journey, reads the press release.
While the parents keep a steady
watch on the road ahead, restlessness
gradually gives way to mayhem in
the cars close quarters. Just before
the ride becomes unbearable, the sis-
ters are inspired to combine their cre-
ative energy and the big drive
becomes an even bigger adventure.
Private Eyes is a black-and-white
3D stereoscopic animation about a
blind boy named Matthew who is
never afraid of the dark.
Waseteg is lm mixing art and cul-
ture. Narrated by legendary Canadian
filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin, this
story is about a Mikmaq girl,
Waseteg, whose mother dies while
giving birth. Waseteg, whose name
means the light from the dawn,
looks for solace in nature, and dreams
of the stories shes heard in the village.
The Girl Who Hated Books, is a lm
that discuses literacy by using a
young girl named Meena, who hates
books, even though they are every-
where in her life.
Those wanting to learn about
more about animation can participate
in master classes on Sunday sched-
uled for 10 a.m. at the library. The
lms directors will be there not only
screening their lms, but sharing in-
sights of what goes into make an ani-
mated lm.
Co Hoedeman, an Oscar winner
for his animated short The Sandcastle,
will be speaking on Making Peace
Through Animation. His class will be
aimed at teenagers and young adults
as he discusses the creative process,
the importance of working collabora-
tively, and why he strongly believes in
telling stories that promote values
such as consideration for the environ-
ment, social inclusion, respect for di-
versity and fostering peaceful
resolution. Hoedemans class will
also include screenings of The Sand
Castle (1977), The Garden of Ecos (1997)
and his latest lm, 55 Socks (2011).
After his class, Hoedman will
hold a workshop that will teach those
taking part the basics of animating by
using paper cutouts on a light box. In
small groups, participants will then
have a chance create a short lm on
the theme of peaceful resolution, un-
der Hoedmans guidance.
Other master classes including
Making Music for Animation with
Luigi Allemano, which is aimed at an-
imators and covers effective ways to
communicate, collaborate, and create
with music composers, Making
CMYK with Marv Newland, where
he will present the original artwork
used in his films and discusses the
techniques used to animate the mate-
rial, and Traditional Drawing in a 3D
World with Marc Bertrand and Nicola
Lemay, where they will delve into the
history and nature of stereoscopy and
the challenges of 3D design.
The NFB has a collection of 13,000
productions and has earned 5,000
awards, including 12 Oscars and 90
Genies. For more information on this

Whats the best track on the
album?
Kyle Leitch: Brandenburg Gate. Its
strangely melodic and eerily catchy.
Compared to the catastrophe that is
the rest of the record, the opening
track is actually very cool.
John Cameron: Its Junior Dad for
sure. Apparently Reeds first vocal
take made Heteld cry, and you can
totally picture it, even on comical lines
like Age withered him and changed
him into Junior Dad, theres an unde-
niable tenderness and warmth. Plus,
for a whole 20 minutes, Metallica real-
izes how important it is for session
bands to be tasteful.
Paul Bogdan: Iced Honey actually
has a decently interesting opening riff,
and this is probably one of the only in-
stances where Lou Reeds vocals dont
sound horrendously out of place.
Also, its probably one of the only
songs that I could almost like.
Mason Pitzel: I get the most enjoy-
ment out of The View, since its im-
possible to not love James Hetfield
shouting furiously that hes a table.
But the actual best track might be
Junior Dad, based on its lyrics and
the fact that half of its 19 minutes fea-
tures neither Lou Reed nor Metallica.
Whats the worst track?
KL: Junior Dad. Rush created a 20-
minute masterpiece in 2112;
Metallica and Lou Reed created a pro-
longed episode of a full
orchestra/rock band falling down
some basement stairs.
JC: Everything that can go wrong in
Pumping Blood does. The riffs are
incomprehensible and Reeds senses
of rhythm and melody are completely
AWOL. Pumping Blood contains
the albums worst lyric, too: the in-
scrutable and kind of racist I will
swallow your sharpest cutter like a
coloured mans dick.
PB: Pumping Blood. The best part is
when Lou Reed starts singing with an
upward inflection so that it sounds
like hes singing, pumping blood? as
if hes not sure if those are the right
lyrics.
MP: Pumping Blood, easily. Theres
a limit to how many times you can
stand hearing Reed quaver sperm-
less like a girrrl over a kindergarten
thrash beat and its not a hundred,
despite what Loutallica thinks.
Whats the biggest surprise on
the record?
KL: Coming off of Death Magnetic,
which had a lot of Metallicas earlier
speed metal feel to it, the instrumen-
tation on Lulu sounds an awful lot like
the Load and Reload albums.
JC: How fast its 95(!) minutes go. Its
actually kind of astonishing Lulu is-
nt an agonizing crawl, its a giddy,
high-octane failure. Dozens of bands
have tried and failed to connect bril-
liant, brilliant hooks with the speed,
precision, and efciency that Metallica
and Lou Reed have in rocketing from
boner to blunder.
PB: The fact that Junior Dad is 19
fucking minutes long. The last nine
minutes are just strings and
Continuum. Ive got nothing against
long songs, but theres not even a
melody during the outro its just
tones fading in and out for another
nine minutes.
MP: That they didnt invite Santana.
Whats the most interesting
lyric?
KL: PUM-ping blood?
JC: Did you not read the line about the
coloured mans dick? Where did
that even come from, is what Id like
to know.
PB: The first line from the opening
track, I would cut my legs and tits off
when I think of Boris Karloff and
Kinski in the dark of the moon. Find
me a bigger what-the-fuck opening
moment on an album, and Ill cut my
legs and tits off.
MP: You can read a lot into the recur-
ring line for worship of someone
who actively despises you, as far as
what that describes (Metallicas rela-
tionship with Lou Reed? Fans rela-
tionship with both parties?). But in
case you missed it, the rst lines of
this album are. I would cut my legs
and tits off when I think of Boris
Karloff and Kinski in the dark of the
moon.
Is the album any good?
KL: Pfffffhahahahaha! Ahahahahaa!
Wait! Wait, wait. Hahahahahahaha!
JC: In parts, yeah. Mistress Dread is
unrelenting thrash and serious doom-
and-gloom from Lou Reed, Iced
Honey sounds like a Velvets cut jet-
tisoned from Garage Inc., and all three
10-minute-plus tracks are adventur-
ous in composition and texture.
Everywhere else, its as bad as we all
expected. Maybe worse. Hopefully
Lulu will have the same effect on
bands looking to milk cred out of col-
laborations that heads on pikes had
on petty criminals in the Middle Ages.
PB: No. It basically sounds like youre
having a smoke outside a Metallica
show, and then some crazy old bas-
tard comes up and starts rambling in-
coherently to you. Youre not really
paying attention, but you hear him
ask you, If I waggle my ass like a
dark prostitute, would you think less
of me?
MP: I cant think of a worse album
right now. It just misses its target so
completely, and had such a dumb tar-
get to begin with. The best summary
of Lulu Ive heard is that it sounds like
youre on a train, the sound of metal
blasting through some kids earbuds
mixing with the sound of the crazy
old man shouting at everyone on the
train. This is not the summary of a
good record.
What should they have done
differently, if anything?
KL: Consider not collaborating with
Lou Reed. Seriously, who in the hell
thought this was a good idea?
JC: Metallica needs to bring in some-
one who is willing to tell them how
terrible every one of their albums
since 1991 sounds. Everybody who
was legally able to drink in
Saskatchewan on or before Aug. 11,
2011 is actually older than the last
time Larss drums didnt sound like
shit.
PB: They could have made it sound
like they were recording in the same
country, let alone the same room.
MP: Succumbed to drugs in the 80s.
But if Lulu was totally unavoidable,
they should have at least put some ef-
fort into recording it. As is, Reeds vo-
cals drown out the music like a
directors commentary, and the kick
drum sounds like a typewriter in a
shower. These might seem like minor
issues, but they make this already-
grating experience exponentially
worse. Its like reading hate literature
typed in pink Comic Sans.
Who should Metallica collabo-
rate with next?
KL: Raffi. You know, as opposed to
just staying Metallica.
JC: Scott Walker. Im serious; Walkers
got a knack for synthesizing the garish
and laughable with the frightening
and heavy. Hes also a meticulous
sonic architect, meaning hed be able
to bring out something with the best
qualities of Lulu and say no to the
worst.
PB: Kanye West, because he can at
least make a collaborative album that
doesnt sound like it was mailed in.
MP: The perfect question for hack
comics. Someone with ears! Heath
Ledgers pharmacist! For real,
though, theyll need to nd someone
as deluded and self-ignorant as they
are. And with Reed crossed off that
list now, their only remaining option
is Tommy Wiseau.
Madly in anger with Lou
Ill-fated Lou Reed and Metallica collaboration Lulu will actually make your ears bleed

movie review
The hardest thing a fan will ever do is
take off their rose-coloured shades
and admit that something in their fan-
dom sucks. As a Hunter Thompson
fanatic, it pains me to write this, but
holy shit is The Rum Diary terrible.
The Rum Diary happens to share
its name and plot with the 1959
Hunter Thompson novel. Johnny
Depp plays Paul Kemp, a struggling
writer trying to make it as a journalist
in Puerto Rico, and Aaron Eckharts
glorious chin plays Hal Sanderson.
Everyone else pops in and out of the
lm so casually they arent worth not-
ing.
Now, a quick history lesson: the
novel upon which the movie was
based was a harsh look at the socio-
economic gap between suppressed
lower class citizens living in the
boomtown of 1950 Puerto Rico, and
the fat cats bastards as Kemp calls
them who benet more and more
the wider this gap becomes.
Ten seconds into the lm, one no-
tices the distinct stench of Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas hanging
around. The rst shot of Kemp we get
is a staggering, bloodied mess. Im not
sure if this is supposed to set the tone
of the lm, or describe the mess of the
lm were about to witness. Several
important plot points are skipped en-
tirely, major characters are written out
of the story entirely, and then ending
of the film is completely fabricated.
The Rum Diary feels more and more
like director Bruce Robinson lming a
poorly thought out college improv
sketch than the long-awaited Hunter
Thompson story come alive.
Robinson tried so hard to recap-
ture the outlandishness of Fear and
Loathing with The Rum Diary that he
ended up cheapening both works. If
youve been awaiting this movie as
anxiously as Ive been, then dont go
see it. Reread the book and enjoy. Fuck
you, Bruce Robinson, Hunter de-
served a better homage than this, and
his fans deserved a better lm.

video game review
Being Batman is great, and Batman:
Arkham City knows it. The sequel to
developer Rocksteady Games out-of-
nowhere 2009 masterpiece Batman:
Arkham Asylum drops you into a
dystopian city-prison in the middle
of Gotham City and lets you slip on
the cowl one more time. You skulk
around in the shadows, plunge from
gargoyles to menace thugs, scope out
crime scenes, and solve devious
Riddler puzzles because youre the
Worlds Greatest Detective, and
swoop freely around gang-ridden
nighttime streets looking to punch
crime in the face. Arkham City does
more to make you feel like Batman
than most games do to convince you
to pretend youre a superhero.
For one, Rocksteadys vision of
Gotham is wonderfully realized, strik-
ing a perfect balance between Frank
Miller grittiness and Tim Burton
camp. For every terrible aesthetic
choice Harley Quinn resembles
some kind of weird bondage motorcy-
cle Juggalo theres a dozen brilliant
ones, like the Penguins beer-bottle
monocle or the Gotham Museums
decaying opulence. Combat feels
wonderfully rhythmic and uid, if un-
necessary complicated at times, and
now that you have a whole city to
cover there are some genuinely
thrilling free-running and cape-glid-
ing mechanics that make you feel
even more like the Dark Knight.
All of which is nearly undercut
by the games jarring, out-of-place
sexism. Do we need to hear thugs in
the game call women bitches and
imply that theyd like to rape said
women? We already know these
goons are bad news; theyre trying to
ght Batman, for Christs sake. Some
of them are even trying to shoot him!
If Gothams prisons are so full of
rapists, and if villains like the Joker
are relying on these rapists to form
their army-sized gangs, maybe
Batman could save himself a lot of
face-punching and shadow-skulking
if he sunk the Bruce Wayne fortune
into some No Means No or Take
Back the Night campaigns. It doesnt
take the Worlds Greatest Detective to
gure that out.

MONTREAL(CUP) On Sept. 8, the
United Kingdoms Health
Department announced that, as of
November, gay men will be allowed
to give blood if they refrain from
any form of sexual contact for an en-
tire year. Although deemed progres-
sive by some, this newly established
concession is actually more ignorant
than it is groundbreaking.
In light of the UKs new stance,
Canada may reconsider its own pol-
icy, as it is currently one of many
countries that forbid gay men from
donating blood at all. Its great that
Canada wants to be progressive
and tolerant, but hopefully our
country can realize that the UKs re-
cent announcement is neither of the
above. On the contrary, this light-
ened ban is more of a colossal slap in
the face than a step in the right direc-
tion.
Blood donation eligibility criteria
should be based on individual behav-
iour, backed by advanced screening,
not on sexuality, wrote Nursing Times
reporter Steve Ford.
Although it is crucial that blood
donation agencies follow strict proto-
col that requires their donors to be
tested for any medical, sexual, or
drug-related blips, they shouldnt as-
sume that HIV is exclusively a homo-
sexual disease.
Best Health magazine recently re-
ported that in a 2010 issue of the
Canadian Medical Association Journal,
Dr. Mark Wainberg, a prominent re-
searcher in the eld of HIV/AIDS, ar-
gued that the ban is illegitimate. He
wrote the risk of a false negative on
an HIV test has been nearly elimi-
nated since Canadas blood system
began using a highly sensitive nucleic
acid test to screen blood.
If health systems are able to thor-
oughly screen blood, why must gay
men kiss their libidos goodbye for an
entire year in the UK? More impor-
tantly, with the technological ad-
vances the world has seen, why hasnt
this ban been abolished sooner?
The only real reason for these full
or partial bans must be called what it
is: agrant discrimination.
Partially lifting the ban in the UK
just isnt good enough. The gay com-
munity is asking for complete equal-
ity something it deserves. It is
nonsensical to stereotype a group
based on sexual orientation, depriving
them of the fundamental right to do-
nate clean blood.
Shame on the members of the UK
Health Department. They shouldnt
be patting themselves on the back:
what theyve done wasnt progres-
sive. It was discriminatory. If they
want to earn their kudos, they should
abolish the ban, use the technology
available to effectively screen blood
and stop hiding behind dated stereo-
types. As for Canada, we should learn
from the mistakes made across the
pond, and make a change that actu-
ally moves us forward.
Not a step forward

You can get through university debt-
free.
Mind you, its more difcult than
you can imagine. True, we all hear the
horror stories of how expensive edu-
cation and the cost of living is in this
city and how students are at an in-
credible disadvantage when it comes
to accessing education because of
these barriers.
These are all valid concerns ones
we should be presenting to the gov-
ernment but what about those stu-
dents who, through some miracle,
manage to nd a house and make it
into university. How can they stay
there without digging themselves into
a never-ending hole of debt?
Its not easy, but it can be done.
First, you have to pick a program
that no one else is in. You need to
carve a path for yourself that sets you
off from the rest. Sure, your parents
and advisors will say to you, Oh a
business degree is far more useful
than that namby-pamby bachelor of
arts in lm studies.
Sure, they could be right. But
when it comes down to it, there are an
exponentially larger amount of busi-
ness studies than there are lm stud-
ies students. I should know; I am one
of two people in my year, and one of
maybe half a dozen in my entire pro-
gram. How many marketing students
are there? Human resources? Im will-
ing to bet a whole lot more than in my
program.
And once youre in that program,
youre basically set to rake in all of
the scholarships directed specically
at your program, as long as youre
willing to do the work. There arent a
lot of lm studies scholarships, or a lot
of scholarships for anyone in ne arts,
really, but if you work your ass off
and get yourself even close to the top
which really isnt all that hard if
theres only a handful of you in your
program you can collect a couple
thousand dollars a year easily. If you
play your cards right and manage to
make deans list every semester, this
can pay for most, if not all, of your tu-
ition.
Then comes the problem of cost of
living. How do you manage to pay
rent, buy food, pay your utilities bills,
and pay for transportation for four
years without taking out a loan? The
rst thing you can do is move back
home during the summer. Sure, it
seems like a pain in the ass, but you
can live rent-free for four months. Jobs
might not pay as well back home if
youre from a small town, but if you
spend wisely, save most of it, and
work as much overtime as you can,
you can manage to store away enough
to cover almost the rest of your fees.
But even moving home for the
summer doesnt quite do it. Youll
have to drop your car and take the
bus. Or better yet, walk to school. It
will save you thousands of dollars a
year. You will also have to pick up a
part-time job for at least half of your
four-year degree. And it has to be a
four-year degree, which means tak-
ing ve classes a semester and work-
ing part-time. It seems like a lot of
work, but its simple economics: the
longer your degree takes, the more
money youre going to sink into costs
of living. So minimize the time youre
here, and in the long run, you wont
be paying as much for your educa-
tion.
Now, I realize this isnt doable for
everyone. Only a very small minority
of students will be able to through
school debt-free, and my plan is a
very specic set of circumstances that
is only available to the select few. You
might not be able to go debt-free, but
at the very least, you may be able to
minimize your debt and leave univer-
sity with a slightly lesser burden to
bear.
Difcult but not
impossible

I would like to respond to some com-
ments made in the last edition of the
Carillon (Adegree in debt, Oct. 27).
The piece does a good job of raising
the issue of mounting student debt.
Without a doubt, there is a looming
student-debt crisis in this country. The
Canada Student Financial Assistance
Act has a legislated ceiling of fteen
billion dollars that the federal govern-
ment can lend out to students. We are
set to reach that ceiling by January of
2013 just over one year away. Due to
a lack of government funding for uni-
versities and colleges and skyrocket-
ing tuition fees in Saskatchewan and
across the country, students are being
burdened with more and more debt.
It is in this context that the
University of Reginas Director of
Enrolment Services, Angelique
Saweczko, suggested that it is simply
a lack of planning that gets students
into debt situations. Nothing, in fact,
could be further from the truth. The
chronic underfunding of universities
and mounting student debt is a very
systemic issue, and one that will only
be solved by governments making
post-secondary education a real prior-
ity not by students applying for
more awards. Awards and scholar-
ships help in the short term, but they
are largely band-aid solutions to a
much more signicant problem. It is
also important to remember that ac-
cess to debt student loans is not ac-
cess to education.
Finally I would just like to point
out those awards and scholarships do
not help those who couldnt afford to
enter post-secondary learning in the
first place. Many people see mort-
gage-sized student debt, skyrocketing
tuition fees, and a lack of affordable
housing to name a few issues and
decide to not even bother. The only
thing that will enable all students to
graduate debt-free are increased gov-
ernment funding, signicantly lower
tuition fees, and more grants as op-
posed to loans, as well as increased in-
vestment in housing, childcare, and
Aboriginal education.

Usually by this time in the election,
Im deep in the grips of an illness. I am
cursing at my TV when it talks about
the political parties, I am eager to cast
my vote for my favourite candidate,
and I am immersed in anything re-
lated to the election. However, this
year it seems like the provincial elec-
tion is boring and irrelevant. Ive be-
come immune to election fever.
On a theoretical level, this elec-
tion is crucial. We live in a democracy
and we need to exercise our right to
vote in free and fair elections when-
ever the opportunity is presented. On
a realistic level, though, it feels like a
totally manufactured event, complete
with artificial disagreements and
meaningless ideological rhetoric by
both sides. While watching the de-
bate, I came to the sudden and dis-
turbing realization that one of the men
on the TV was going to be the Premier
of Saskatchewan and that I could
not get excited about either of them.
Dwain Lingenfelter has all the
charisma of a two-by-four wearing an
orange tie. Regardless of how great
his platform is, he has failed to sell it
to the public. The Sask. Party has
painted it as infeasible and unneces-
sary, and the NDP does not appear to
have the wherewithal to challenge
that portrayal. Its difcult to blame
this all on one person, but as the face
of the NDP, Lingenfelter needs to step
up to the plate and sell the party as a
viable option.
Brad Wall is not off the hook, but
his job is a lot easier. He basically
needs to look condent and assured,
and he is pulling it off really well. The
argument that he has charisma, how-
ever, is certainly only in comparison
to Lingenfelter. Wall is boring, the
things he says are boring, and the way
he says them are boring. Hes the
poster boy for apathy everything in
the province is great so why even
bother voting in this election? Hes
portrayed as a safe option, someone
with a soothing voice that promises
there are no problems and that Wall
will ensure things stay that way.
Wall lacks vision for this province,
or, I should say, lacks long-term vi-
sion for the province. The only day
better than today in Saskatchewan is
tomorrow in Saskatchewan is a
short-sighted, feel-good phrase that
fails to take into account that residents
experiencing the sunny days of eco-
nomic growth might awake tomor-
row to four feet of snow and bitterly
cold temperatures. His greatest selling
point is that he managed to not fuck
up the province in his last four years
and frankly, while its not the worst
argument for why someone should be
premier, its far from the best.
And perhaps worst of all, these
two are the only realistic option in this
election. The Green Party, the
Progressive Conservatives, and the
Liberals are all completely shut out of
the political process in this province,
whether it be by the fact that they
dont garner enough support under
the first-past-the-post system to get
seats or by the fact that the media con-
sortium of CBC, CTV, and Global de-
termined to shut out any other
viewpoints from the debate.
I want a politician to inspire me. I
want them to have a vision for this
province beyond not messing with the
status quo. Neither major party in this
province has been able to deliver that
and the minor parties arent even be-
ing given a chance. These two things
combined are the best vaccination
against political engagement.
Immune to election fever

I dont think the Oct. 25 leaders debate
will greatly affect the outcome of the
Nov. 7 provincial election. There were
no real surprises, and lets be honest,
how many people watched it?
However, as someone with more
opinions than I know what to do with,
I decided to write this rant err, cri-
tique, pointing out what bothered me
about our political leaders clashing
on primetime television.
I chose to watch the debate in the
NDP-sponsored multi-purpose room
at the university, which provided me
with free pizza. However, as it always
does, free pizza came at a cost. It cost
me my eardrums. Every time
Lingenfelter spoke, especially about
the nickel on the dollar for potash
royalties, I was bombarded with clap-
ping and hooting.
Lingenfelter tried to pull out all
stops to make people love and wor-
ship him, while Wall just breezed his
way through without mentioning
anything contentious. However, that
did not mean there was nothing im-
portant going on.
There was more than enough spin
and sidestepping in the debate.
Lingenfelter answered a question
about school closures with commen-
tary on education assistants. What the
fuck, Link? That has nothing to do
with school closures. Stay on topic
and stay focussed.
The NDP keeps using words I am
tired of. Sexy words like tuition
freeze. Atuition freeze is not a per-
manent solution to students current
situations. I dont even think the gov-
ernment alone is capable of dealing
with these problems. The costs of
post-secondary education are also in
the hands of those who run those in-
stitutions. These institutions are be-
coming more like businesses, and we,
the students, are the consumers. The
government plays a role in tuition,
but increases in tuition are not entirely
the fault of the government.
And rent control? Well, rent
control will help some people, sure,
but Ive been in Regina for over ve
years and have never seen a drastic in-
crease in rent. Rent control protects
me from a potential that Im not really
worried about. Plus, rent control ad-
dresses a symptom of a deeper prob-
lem; it is not a solution to the housing
crisis Regina is facing. Maybe our po-
tential leaders should be talking more
about solving the root cause of our
problems and less about treating the
symptoms. Reginas 0.7 per cent va-
cancy rate will not be solved by rent
control. The NDPs platform has tons
of other ideas relating to our housing
issue. So why didnt Lingenfelter
mention them during the debate?
They want to provide funding for
housing co-operatives, which is a
great step in the right direction, but
the only thing ringing in my ears now
is rent control. Funding new hous-
ing has a pretty good ring to it too,
NDP.
Now, it may seem like I am overly
critical of the NDP. Mind you, this is
really only because the Sask. Party
hasnt been campaigning on much be-
yond their handling on the economy
in the last four years. The NDP is
throwing ideas out there, and thats a
good thing.
They just should have thrown out
some more good things in the actual
debate.

Poet Blue Says: There once was a
student named Jim/ who stud-
ied and studied good for him/
but his brain got quite hot/ so
his car he forgot/ and so a $60
ne he was given./ Now Jim
was as thrifty as clever/ he
saved no matter the weather/
but the $60 ne/ had to be paid
on time/ Now its KD for the
rest of the semester.
Hey Neal, hows the declass this
