Coming up on campus
Youth Summit on Climate Change
John Abbott students and staff join the fight against Global Warming
Devon Willis
Erika Ladouceur
Contributors
On Thursday March 22, John Abbott
students and staff attended the Youth
Summit on Climate Change, Less Talk,
More Action, organized by Youth Action
Montreal. Of the 5,300 people present
at the Palais de Congrès that day, over
half were students from Montreal schools
such as Concordia, McGill, and Dawson
College, to name a few. The event was sponsored by the Concordia Student Union,
Concordia University, and the David Suzuki
Foundation.
The event was hosted by two Juno
Award-winning artists, Sam Roberts and
Sarah Harmer. Alain Desousa, member of
the executive committee responsible for
sustainable development in Montreal, gave
a welcoming speech.
Amanda Aziz, the National Chairperson
of the Canadian Federation of Students
(CFS), discussed the importance of cooperation to bring about change. She emphasized student and youth involvement in
the matter of environmental sustainability:
“Students and youth are at the forefront
of the fight,” Aziz stated. She encouraged
youth to keep politicians aware of what issues concern them, such as tuition fees, the
minimum wage, poverty, and the environment, thus transforming them into “leaders
of sustainability”.
Claude Béchard, provincial Minister
of the Environment since 2006, stressed
that it is the small things that make a difference. He also stated that Quebec is the
best province at controlling greenhouse gas
emissions, so the focus will be on maintaining Quebec forests. Finally, he said that
Quebec was the first province in Canada to
• Wednesday
��
April 11th, 2007
meet Californian vehicle emission norms.
With a smile, he said, “Le Californie du
Nord, la chaleur en moins!”
Steven Gilbeault, from Greenpeace
Quebec, spoke next. He said that 90% of
Quebecers believe climate change is real
and caused by human activity. Stating his
support for the Kyoto Protocol, Gilbeault’s
ideas included reducing oil consumption
by 10% in five years; the electrification of
buses and trains; new transportation plans;
cheaper transportation for students (“less
cars on roads, more bikes on bike paths!”).
“In order to win this battle [against climate
change] we need everyone,” he stressed.
Do you think that building a bridge
between Laval and Montreal and building
more roads throughout the province and
Canada are good solutions to fighting climate change? Your politicians do. Gilbeault
said it best: “Sustainable development
isn’t about saying one thing and doing
another.”
Next came a message from the founders of Youth Action Montreal, two inspirational young men who have made the
message clear that climate change must be
addressed.
Mohammed Shuriye and Peter Schiefke
started Youth Action Montreal as a youth
lobby group to advocate sustainability.
They presented the 1% campaign to the
audience, a campaign that was voted upon
by the majority of Concordia students
during general Concordia Student Union
elections in March. It is a campaign designed to “dramatically curb the lifestyle of
students” and is a means of obtaining funds
for environmental initiatives at Concordia
University by having each student pay 75
cents more per class
Costing $7.50 more in tuition per
year for the 42,000 full-time students at
Concordia, this amounts to just under a
million dollars in five years.
With this money, Concordia plans to:
-Switch from the present buses to
electric buses, as the former are carbondependant, using bio-diesel. They also want
to replace security and staff vehicles with
hybrid vehicles.
-Initiate the Lug-A-Mug campaign:
reusable mugs are required to get a drink
from any café or bar ��
on campus��
. These
mugs will be distributed to students at the
beginning of next semester.
-Phase out plastic bags on campus by
giving out reusable bags from stores.
-Construct composting facilities
-Print assignments on double-sided
paper
-Improve and expand recycling on
campus.
Dr. David Suzuki, a Canadian awardwinning scientist, environmentalist and
broadcaster spoke of climate change saying
that “it threatens the survival of our species”, and that now is the time to act. He
pointed out the importance of economics
these days, with ecology fading in comparison. But as Suzuki said, they have much in
common.
“Eco” means home, economics is the
management of the home, and ecology is
the study of the home: our environment.
As he said, we must put the “eco” back in
economics! He also said that the reality of
climate change has been present since the
1980s but that it is often relegated by the
media as unnewsworthy.
Some of the most insightful things Dr.
Suzuki said were:
-��
“��
Global warming creates a threat to
survival second to nuclear.”
-��
“��
In ��
2048 ��
there will be no fish left that
we can use.”
-��
“��
For the first time we have to ask our��
selves what is the collective impact of 6.5
billion people?”
-We have become a
“super species”.
Al Gore spoke next,
with a presentation very
similar to his movie An
Inconvenient Truth.
“If you learn for yourself and speak that truth it
will move all of the political obstacles away and then
YOU WILL CHANGE
THE WORLD!” he said.
Mr. Gore’s presentations
went very well, although
he was interrupted on several occasions when rowdy
audience members shouted
out at him. They were
promptly escorted out of
the room and he continued, barely fazed by their
outbursts.

In terms of student facilities, the
Foundation is seeking to construct a new
Agora, more student lounges, expand
classroom space, and build better facilities
for sports teams.
College officials are insisting that the
new building be ecological: “The new
building will be as environmentally sustainable as we can,” said the Director General.
The project will be LEED certified, which
means that it will be built under the green
building rating system. To keep the builders
honest and true to the environmental objectives, John Abbott plans to hire a consulting
firm that will oversee the project.
“I think we’re in a good position, for
John Abbott is a very community-oriented
space,” said Houle. There seems to be an
exceptional desire in the Student Union
to be involved in improving the College’s
facilities in both the short and long term,
sending the message that students really
care about their campus.
Wondering whether the changes will
occur in the foreseeable future? The
Director General was told that the project
would take one month per million dollars,
turning it into a 29-month undertaking.
The goal is to have the building opened by
2009, although some changes may be seen
before then.

R. Hobbes

Because sex means so many things to
different people, it inspires very strong
opinions and emotions, and with that
come expectations. These expectations
are related to sexual and relationship
satisfaction. People’s aspirations regarding sexual encounters include several
motivators, including emotions, selfesteem, and power.
As individuals, we tend to expect
our partners to meet our standards.
These standards may lie in ter ms of
frequency (depending on one’s libido)
or in response to certain preferred acts,
e.g. blow jobs, swallowing, anal, S&M
tendencies, and deep throat. But how
do we recognize when our expectations
have become too high? Is there such a
thing as wanting too much from our
partner? Are we mistaking our fantasies
with reality?
www.excellenceaward.ca
When two people love and respect
each other - and hopefully most
r e l a t i o n s h i p s h a ve t h o s e q u a l i t i e s
- it is only natural that they would
want to please each other on both
an emotional and sexual level. Men
pull an ar m or a leg to make their
girlfriends believe they are sex gods,
while women say that they love doing
things they might not otherwise like.
But in certain cases, men and women
expecting intense org asmic experiences, or wanting their sex lives to
look like a por no movie, only end
up disappointed. They tend to think
that their partner isn’t as great as they
thought after all.
So, wha t’s th e so lutio n ? Do we
put aside our expectations? Do we
s e t t l e f o r l e s s ? O r s h o u l d we n o t
expect anything so that we won’t be
disappointed? Clearly, that is not the
answer.
Have you thought of communicating? This answer probably seems
cheesy and obvious. Discussing what
you expect from your sex life before
getting sexually involved is an alternative to future conflict or big, in-yourface disappointments. You really like
anal and spankings? You had better
let her know. You like to play dressup and use whips? Why not tell him?
And neither partner should wait until
they’re about to get naked to speak up.
A level of trust needs to be reached in
order to have this conversation. But
that’s a whole other stor y…

Fire kills boy in Montreal North
Late Sunday night, a fire broke out in an
apartment near Pie IX Blvd. A 9-year-old
boy lost his life, and his 29-year-old mother
is in hospital in critical condition. Firefighters
responded quickly, but the apartment was virtually destroyed. Of the 12 apartments evacuated,
only two had smoke detectors. The apartment
in question was not one of the two. Other
apartments were not damaged by the fire. An
investigation revealed that a short-circuit in a
lamp was the cause of the fire. Gilles Ducharne,
spokesman for the Montreal fire department,
lamented the loss of another life that could
have been saved by a smoke detector.
Woman dies in St. Zotique raid
When St. Zotique police raided a house
on the town’s rue Principale on Saturday,
they were looking for drugs as part of an
ongoing investigation. A 43-year-old woman
was home, and when searched, was found to
be in possession of drugs. However, when
police tried to arrest her, she passed out
and died. CPR was performed, but she was
pronounced dead at the Valleyfield hospital
within a few hours. The reasons for her death
are unknown. Two other people, a man and
a woman, were arrested at the residence the
same night. Sureté du Québec has not yet
released information about any charges.
Iran joins ‘nuclear club of nations’
This Monday, Iran’s president, Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad announced that his country is
now able to enrich uranium on an industrial
scale. He stated that this meant that Iran has
now joined the ‘nuclear club of nations’ and
is able to produce nuclear fuel on an industrial
scale. This uranium enrichment can either provide fuel for a nuclear reactor in order to get
nuclear electricity, or be used as material for
nuclear warheads. The UN Security Council
has said that they will be imposing more sanctions if Iran does not suspend the project.
Manatee population growing
For years, the Florida manatee has been
listed as an endangered species, and conservation efforts have been going full-fling
to save this animal. Now, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service is considering reclassifying it
as threatened, which indicates that the population is recovering slowly. As a threatened
species, manatees would still be protected; it
is illegal to harass, poach or kill them. This
year’s population count recorded 2,812 individuals, more than double the count from
1991, but still fewer than last year’s 3,116.
Conservationists are concerned that the
change in status would result in fewer boating
restrictions, which could result in a further
population drop.
• Wednesday
�� April
�� 11
��th, 2007
On Easter Sunday, during a dinner to
mark the 90 th anniversary of the Battle
of Vimy Ridge, Prime Minister Stephen
Harper announced to a shocked crowd
that six Canadian soldiers had been killed
in an explosion. A roadside bomb went off
at about 1:30 p.m. local time just west of
Kandahar city. Of the ten men in the LAV
III armored vehicle that was hit, six were
killed and two were injured. Cpl. Shaun
Fevens, 24, was badly injured in the accident,
and might not have made it without the efforts of those uninjured in the explosion.
The names of the dead were released a
few hours after the incident was first reported. Sgt. Donald Lucas, 31, Cpl. Aaron
E. Williams, 23, and Privates Kevin Vincent
Kennedy, 20, and David Robert Greenslade,
20, Cpl. Christopher Paul Stannix, 24 and
Cpl. Brent Poland, 37, all died instantly. Their
deaths make up the worst single-day loss for
Canadian Forces in Afghanistan
since forces were deployed there
in 2002.
The soldiers of this convoy
had been living in the desert for
just over a month, off of supplies
kept in their vehicles and sleeping under the stars. They were
only one task away from their
return to base for rest. Colonel
Mike Cessford, who is deputy commander of Task Force
Afghanistan, said of the incident
“We lost six of our best”.
Improvised explosive devices,
known as IEDs, along with mines,
are the biggest threat to soldiers
there. The Taliban can work out
particular convoy, two mines had already
been identified ahead of time and allowed
to detonate with the convoy safely out of
range. The large IED responsible for the
six deaths was placed at a choke point four
meters wide surrounded by irrigation wells,
where the convoy would have to pass to avoid
a huge detour.
The army is investigating how this one
bomb could have killed so many people who
were in what is supposed to be a protected
vehicle. One possibility is that the ammunition stored in the vehicle went off because
of the bomb, augmenting the explosion. The
soldiers’ bodies will be returned to Canada
for burial.
Sunday’s event brings the death toll for
Canadians in Afghanistan since 2002 to 51.
The same day, one NATO soldier was killed
and another injured when a second bomb
went off in Southern Afghanistan. Canada
currently has more than 2,500 troops in the
country, mostly around Kandahar.

Museum aims to prove moon landing real
The Armstrong Air & Space Museum,
named after Apollo 11 astronaut Neil
Armstrong, is not afraid to confront conspiracy theorists who argue that the moon
landing never happened. The western Ohio
museum set up a display showing all the
points these theorists have made in numerous websites and books. Andrea Waugh, a
specialist at the museum, says that all claims
that the landing is “fake” can be debunked
with facts and science. For example, the
reason the flag seems to be fluttering in
the lack of atmosphere is because there
was a horizontal bar on the top of the flag
so that it was up instead of hanging limply
down the pole.
‘Mr. Awesome’ robs bank to pay for porn
A maintenance worker in New York
City used repeated payments to a “John
Awesome” to steal thousands of dollars
from a bank to pay for Internet porn sites.
The man lifted a city bank account number
from his workers’ compensation cheques,
and then somehow used it to tap into the
government fund for his own use. The man
is accused of stealing $4,000 over the span
of three and a half years and having the
money sent automatically and electronically
to sexually explicit websites.
House with a catch
Mike Bassett is giving away a house with
a fireplace, built-in cabinets, a bay window,
two full bathrooms, and a walk-in closet.
The only catch is that whoever receives the
house will have to move it. If the house isn’t
taken by July 1, it will be torn down, which
is a shame because it is a beautiful house. He
wants the house to be moved to make way
for more parking spaces at his supermarket
and gas station. The cost for moving the
house ranges from USD$50,000 to $80,000.
Bassett is even willing to set up fundraisers
to get the house moved. The house is currently 72km southeast of Toledo.
“Easter” grass has a new meaning
An officer pulled a man over for running a red light only to discover a plush
Easter bunny stuffed with marijuana. The
man had trouble finding his insurance, and
asked to look for it in the back seat. He
stepped out of the car, and as he did so, the
officer spotted some pot on the ground.
After further investigation, they found two
baggies in the glove compartment, and a
stuffed bunny with 16 packets of drugs in
an Easter basket the plush toy was holding.
The man is being charged with possession
of marijuana, operating a drug factory, possession with intent to sell within 450 meters
of a school and motor vehicle charges.

Man no longer nuts
Benjamin Houghton, an Air Force
veteran, went in to the West Los Angeles
VA Medical Center to have his left testicle,
which was atrophied and might have been
cancerous, removed. Having the testicle
removed was necessary in order to stop the
cancer (if that’s what it is) from spreading.
Unfortunately, the doctors removed the
right testicle instead (right as in the opposite of left).
“At first I thought it was a joke,”
Houghton told the Los Angeles Times.
“Then I was shocked. I told them, ‘What
do I do now?’”
Houghton still hasn’t had the proper
one removed. He has filed a $200,000 claim
for future care and unspecified damages.
Clooney gives kid $20
The guy with the house isn’t the
only one being generous. Three kids set
up a lemonade stand near the set of a
new movie featuring George Clooney
(“Leatherheads”), thinking it would be good
for business, and they were right. Clooney
paid $20 for a cup of lemonade, which tenyear-old Carter, six-year-old Chandler, and
five-year-old Chase Fontaine were selling
for 25 cents. The mother of one of the
boys offered to give the lemonade for free,
but Clooney insisted on sending someone
over with a 20$ bill. Soon after, the lemonade vendors set up a new sign, “George
Clooney was here.”
Sixty Canadians on board Greek cruise ship
Nicola Fleming
News Editor
Last Thursday, Greece saw its biggest
rescue operation since September of the
year 2000, when the Express Samina ferry
sank, killing 80 people. This time around,
it was the Sea Diamond, a 143-metre cruise
ship run by Louis Cruise Lines, which
sank.
It began on Thursday at around 4:00
p.m. local time when the ship was approaching Santorini, a Greek island. It hit a reef
about 400 meters from shore. Most of the
damage is believed to have been caused by
the captain trying to maneuver the vessel
off of the reef. He only sent out a distress
signal after this attempt.
A dozen boats came to their aid, as well
as six Navy rescue helicopters, two military
transport planes and four warships. It took
three hours for the 1,600 people on board to
be evacuated. Many had to climb down rope
ladders while the ship listed at a 12-degree
angle. During the evacuation, some passengers had to leave behind their luggage, their
money, and even their passports.
Of the nearly 1,600 people who were
aboard, 1,200 were passengers. Of these,
over 60 were Canadians from two different high schools: Alberta’s Tofield High
School and Montreal’s Lester B. Pearson
High School. In total, all but two people
were rescued without injury.
Frenchman Jean-Christophe Allain, 45,
and 16-year-old daughter Maud were first
reported missing by Mrs. Anne Allain within
minutes of her escape from the ship. This
report did not reach the appropriate authorities for hours.
As Mrs. Allain tells
it, she and her husband were in their
cabin with their
daughter when the
boat str uck the
reef. As their cabin was extremely
close to the point
of impact, it began
to fill with water
extremely quickly.
She escaped and
found their son,
Raphael, who had
Clydes
been on deck at the time, but isn’t sure if
her husband and daughter made it out or
not. By now, rescuers fear the worst.
Fifteen hours after the accident, the
cruise ship was completely submerged.
Now, it sits about 120 meters under the
water’s surface. Three police helicopters
and many boats in the area helped with
the search throughout the weekend. Divers
tried to access the wreckage, but the ship
is now too deep for this to be an easy
task. The automatic doors pose another
obstacle to those searching for the bodies
of the two missing people; they were programmed to shut if the hull was breached
in order to avoid a leak filling more than
one compartment of the ship.
Another pressing issue is the fuel still
stored in the ship, which could total almost
400 tons. While the fuel that leaked has
been cleared up, for the remaining fuel to
leak into the water would be disastrous.
As for legal issues, the passengers are
being compensated for their hotel stays
on the island of Santorini. Louis Cruise
line spokesman Giorgos Stathopoulos
insisted that the 21-year-old cruise ship
was in good condition until the accident,
and maintained the highest level of safety
standards.
The Captain of the ship and five other
officers have been charged with negligence.
They were taken into custody on Saturday
for questioning. When asked, the Captain
of the ship blamed an unexpected marine
current for the accident.

MIMS: This is why I’m not hot
Leia Wesley
Staff Writer
Newcomer Shawn Mims aka MIMS
debut album Music Is My Savior is the latest
hip-hop album to hit the charts. Selling 78,
000 copies during the first week of release;
Music Is My Savior debuted at number four
on the U.S. billboard 200 and his debut
single “This Is Why I’m Hot” was also
number one on the U.S. charts.
At a young age, MIMS lost both his
parents and his younger sister. He grew
up in Washington Heights and he learned
all about the mentality of hustling money.
The rappers of the South in Harlem influenced MIMS. They taught him to use
music to cope with his troubles, which is
heard on the single “Where I Belong”.
He speaks about fitting in without any
“racial stereotypes” and not having to
buy a “diamond ring” to show your love
for someone. With all of the difficulties MIMS has been through, he said he
could have shared the same attitudes as
everyone else who had to deal with any
kind of trouble in their lives. He could
had carried an negative attitude like “ F
- the world” like most people do when
they experience some kind of suffering

On March 30th, Snow Patrol was
ready to play a sold out show at the
Metropolis. On this Friday night with
plenty of buzz, the fans waited for the
doors to open into the small, comfy
downtown venue.
The beginning of the night was a hit
with the L.A. band Silversun Pickups.
They brought a good start to the bouncy,
electric atmosphere of the crowd-filled
club. With songs like “Lazy Eye” and
“Well Thought Out Twinkles”, the audience took a liking to the music and the
band with a warm welcome of cheers
and applauds although the band was only
later announced to be playing with Snow
Patrol. It was their first time playing in
Montreal and both band and crowd appeared to enjoy it.
As announced, the next band to enter
on stage was OK GO. They are a band
best known for their unique and entertaining music videos “A Million Ways”
for the small backyard dance routine and
“Here It Goes Again” with the famous
and skilled treadmill moves. No treadmills were brought on stage, though the
charisma was still there. Along with the
catchy songs and lively attitudes of each
of the band members, the crowd jumped
and sang to everything which just added
to the amazing live set.

Twists and turns and perfectly entertaining
Barb Radziwon
Entertainment Editor
We are guilty of the same thing. At one
point or another in our lives, we have fallen
victim to online dating services. We create
an alter ego and tell little white lies about our
physical appearance to make ourselves sound
more appealing. Some of us do it in hopes of
finding that special someone, others do it just
for fun, but there are those select few who do
it to play mind games with others and trap
someone in their web of lies. This is the main
concept behind James Foley’s suspense-drama,
Perfect Stranger.
Starring two big name actors, Halle Berry
and Bruce Willis, Perfect Stranger follows the life
of an energetic undercover reporter who takes
on several aliases. Rowena, played by Berry, is
desperately trying to solve the bizarre murder
of one of her closest childhood friends. After
doing some research with her coworker Miles,
played by Giovanni Ribisi, Rowena is lead to
the aggressive, sex addicted CEO of a major
advertising agency. She then goes undercover
and tries to flush out the wealthy businessman,
Harrison Hill, played by Bruce Willis. This
is where the game of online cat-and-mouse
begins.
Though the trailers for this film seem monotonous and boring, do not let yourself be
fooled. Foley did an excellent job at grasping
the audience’s attention and bringing them into
the film. Filled with twists and turns, this is one
of those films that will keep you guessing until
the very end. The moment you think you have
everything figured out, the director throws in
another monkey wrench and you are set off
course again.
Aside from the plot, what makes this film
so invigorating are the multi-dimensional characters. As usual, Berry plays the strong-headed
heroine who is trying to settle her personal
demons and catch the culprit at the same time.
Also as usual, she does an excellent job. Willis
gives a wonderful performance as well, playing
the powerful CEO with a flaring temper who
is involved in several affairs. The most surprising acting performance, though, came from
Ribisi. Playing a sexually obsessive computer
mastermind, Ribisi is the character with the
most skeletons hiding in his closet. You cannot
help but find yourself playing the detective and
analyzing each character as the film progresses.
Who is the murderer? Is it Hill, the irrational
powerhouse with several mistresses? Perhaps it
is Miles, who seems to know a little too much
about the murder? Or maybe it is Hill’s wife,
who seems to be the over-dominating kind who
wants to keep a short leash on her wandering
husband. In the end, this film is a virtual game
of Clue.
Although this movie will keep you on the
edge of your seat for a while, the one problem
is that Berry’s character seems to take on too
many different personalities at once. There’s
Rowena as the investigative journalist, Rowena
as the online mistress to Harrison Hill, Rowena
as the new worker at H2A where Harrison
works, Rowena who is trying to deal with her
past, and Rowena who is trying to settle her relationship problems. At times, Berry’s character
becomes a little unbelievable as she is taking on
all these different personalities. However, in the
end, it is somewhat worked out.
Another thing worth mentioning is that
Perfect Stranger is, without a doubt, endorsed
by the Dutch brewing company, Heineken. In
every scene, when Rowena gets home from
work or is at a bar, she is drinking a Heineken.
In one scene, where Hill is hosting a business
meeting, the table has a line of Heineken beer
bottles on it for decoration and the walls have
stacks of beer boxes. This fact may not be
important to the plot, but if you are a lover of
fine beers, this is something you will notice.
Overall, James Foley’s Perfect Stranger is a
great movie with a twisting plotline and wonderfully developed characters. Halle Berry,
Bruce Willis, and Giovanni Ribisi all execute
their roles flawlessly and reveal the world of
online dating. We all have secrets to hide, but
Perfect Stranger shows just how far someone will
go to hide them, and just how far someone else
will go to expose them.
Placebo affecting Montreal
Megan K. Chan
Staff Writer
While on Placebo’s North American
tour last Saturday, the band played one of
two Canadian stops. It was April 7 and the
cold weather was upon the shivering fans
who waited in line for the sold-out show
at the Metropolis. The crowd had the goal
of being as close to those the doors as possible when they finally opened. Even with
security watching, when the doors opened
it was a full sprint towards the barricades
at the front of the stage.
The compacted crowd first saw Evaline.
Lead singer Richard Jonathan Perry started
off the show with a cello, and a jump off
his seat and before the singing began.
With a different feel from Placebo, the
band’s singer bounced from speaker to
speaker as well as doing a balancing act
on his keyboard. The band had more of a
rock sound than alternative which I think
the crowd didn’t expect. Nevertheless,
the band performed well and had lots of
character. Playing songs from their debut
EP “Postpartum Modesty: A Portrait Of
Skin” as well as a new song, the music
was well-performed, even with the mixed
feelings had by some of the crowd. At
least some of the singer’s jumping into
the crowd got them energized for Placebo
who would come on soon after.
Steve Hewitt of Placebo was first to
walk on stage and sat behind his drum
set. This caused the crowd to cheer and
scream. Stefan Olsdal then came out
with his guitar in hand to play the first
song “Infra-Red”. When the singing was
to start, Brian Molko, the small-statured
Bandersnatch Entertainment
yet large-egoed singer, walked on stage
and caused the crowd to screamwith full
force and jump against the barricades.
The first few songs were straight from
Placebo’s new album “Meds”. Afterwards,
they mixed in many of their older singles
from a variety of other albums. Being
influenced by artists such as Bowie, their
show was not just about the music but
also about the look, the movements and
making it all one neatly packaged performance. Changing the vocals around
so that nothing sounded exactly like the
album, Brian and Stefan had their own
stances and poses between singing, and
the teasing advances towards the crowd
increased the excitement in the audience.
The band left their Kate Bush cover,
“Running Up That Hill” (which has been
played on the OC and will be their next
single) for the end with it’s emotional
and intense mood filling the room as an
ending to the night.
No Alison Mosshart, Michael Stipe,
Robert Smith or David Bowie came on
stage for this show but even without those
big names, Placebo played a miraculous
show and the crowd went crazy for them.
Not being the moshing type of band, the
crowd put all their energy into being as
close to the music as possible and singing all the songs with everything they
had. The Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal and
Steve Hewitt that the fans loved were on
stage and showed Montreal what they had.
Through technical difficulties and mixups, the band continued playing without
a single visible hesitation to their audience. Placebo is known and talked about
for their sexuality and mannerisms but
Saturday night was all about the music.
Wednesday April 11th, 2007 • Say “no” to feminism
Communication down
Steven Martella
Contributor
Christina Bucci
Arts Editor
These days, more and more women are
becoming more and more vocal about their
rights. This is fine. I will recognize that in
the past, women were treated barbarically as
inferiors. No doubt about it.
Yes, women have come a long way
and made a terrific comeback since the
Suffragettes and Women’s Liberation
Movement, but I think it’s pretty fair to say
that these days, women are, for the most part,
treated fairly.
Our Western society recognizes women
in the workplace, the arts, the sciences, and
in academic environments. Obviously, we
don’t live in a perfect world and there’s still
work to be done but I think feminists these
days are counter-productive to the cause of
equality between the sexes.
I have recently had the misfortune of
speaking to a “feminist” and I was quite on
my toes throughout the entire encounter. I
had to really watch and measure my every
word because she was not the type to joke
around or take the matter light-heartedly. I
happened to mention that when I go to the
gym, I wear a ‘wife beater’, which is the common term for an undershirt. Suddenly, her
eyes went wide and she begun gritting her
teeth. She informed me that I was scum for
using that word and then proceeded to accuse me of having a chauvinistic mindset for
going to the gym. She assumed I was going
to the gym, ultimately, to pick up women. I
assured her it was purely a health choice.
Borat, the 2006 hit film directed by Larry
Charles, briefly touched on the subject of
feminism, when Sacha Baron Cohen, playing
the well-meaning Kazakhstanian journalist
interviews three feminists. Here, we get a
clear depiction of society’s view of the typical
feminist. Society sees the typical feminist as
a very conservative, no-time-for-fun, constantly frowning female. It’s hard for people
to take such conservative women seriously.
Society also tends to equate feminism
with anti-male feelings. I know that there
are feminists who don’t share this extremist view at all but it’s the ones who do who
are the counter-productive forces that work
against equality.
Personally, I am all for equality, but the
more we draw attention to the difference
between men and women, the clearer the
distinction will be. So, I’m not saying that
we shouldn’t fight clear discrimination
against women - but avoid falling into the
typical anti-male, ultra-conservative feminist
stereotype.
Communication. What is it that makes
this five-syllable word so difficult for us
lowly humans to accomplish? We are not
cave people; we use language, not grunts and
actions, to speak to one another. However,
more often than not, despite the fact that we
can string words together to make coherent
sentences, what we say and what we mean
are two very different things.
I don’t know about you, but when I get
angry with someone, usually the last thing I
think about is actually telling the person that
I have a problem with them. I know that’s
a really bad way of doing things, but alas, I
tend to resort to what most people like to
call “talking behind someone’s back”, I like
to call it “ranting”. Ranting is great and all
when it’s just little things like, “Damnit, I
can’t believe Sam stole my pencil, again!
Grrrr! that bitch!”, however, when more
serious issues come up, it is not always the
best idea. That’s where our little problem of
miscommunication comes into play. Sure,
it’s awkward to tell people exactly what sort
of beefs you have with them, but it usually
makes all the difference in the end.
What about when it comes to love
and all that fluffy stuff ? You know… feelings… How I hate that word… It’s such
a weak word, but I digress. It’s difficult to
tell someone how you feel towards them,
especially when it has to do with that good
old thing called “love.” I, for example, have
been trying to say exactly how I feel about
a certain boy for the past four months and
have been failing miserably. I’m waiting for
the opportune moment, or something like
that. I’m shy, I’m easily discouraged, and I
have very little self-confidence. And yet I see
all these apparently happy couples around
me. Is it because they had the courage that
I lack? I resent because I am jealous, and
I enjoy because it gives me the hope that
maybe one day, I’ll be happy too.
I sometimes contemplate what is going
on in my life, and realize that I have no
reason to blame others for the way that I
am, or the way that I live my life. A lot has
to do with my own incompetence and the
way that I fail to communicate. I’m the type
of person who hides from her friends, who
bottles her anger, who pretends everything
is all right, and yet somehow it doesn’t seem
right. What results is a sort of alienation
from others. And yet, I look around, and
see happy people, some who have been far
deeper in the hole than I, I smile, and I hope
for the future.

We’ve got to hand it to our southern
neighbors, the Americans – even at war,
they’re always making sure the world
isn’t going to get the wrong idea about
them. As of late, the United States
has been worried about the generous
amount of moral waivers being distributed in order to enlist more people into
the military service.
Moral waivers are granted mainly to
those with a criminal history. Under
• Wednesday

ordinary circumstances, there are strict
standards set for any military volunteer.
However, it seems the Pentagon is having great difficulty in recruiting more
soldiers lately. These waivers expand the
fishing pond and allow a greater amount
of catches for the Army and Navy.
Andy Rooney, CBS news correspondent, professed his immense dislike for
these moral waivers, his argument being that America certainly doesn’t want
criminals and drop-outs being at the
forefront of their military force. Think
of the impression it would make on the
poor folk they’re off to terrorize.
Ro o n e y d e c l a r e s t h a t w h e n t h e
United States is at war, a draft should
be implemented so the Army and the
Navy are re presented by “averag e”
Americans. So on one side, we have
moral waivers or conscription and I’m
in the middle, the young Canadian
that I am, trying to figure out why it
matters.
W hy a r e t h e A m e r i c a n s i n I r a q
again? Weapons of mass destruction
– what? Did we ever find those? No.
We’re talking about the nation who
completely disregarded the U.N. and
sent its troops marching right on into
another country on the pretext that said
countr y could possibly, supposedly,
maybe, perhaps have some bombs just
as big as the Americans possess.
I don’t really think it matters at
this point whether an American soldier has a Ph.D., speaks eight different languages and appreciates Mozart
– he or she will still be representing
a widely-despised country. He or she
will still be pulling the trigger on all
those opposed.
Now people can argue that a more
“educated” soldier would recognize the
ethical treatment of civilians, enemy
soldiers and prisoners of war. Yes,
that’s a distinct possibility.
But if I recall, those moral waivers
weren’t being so liberally dished out
before the shocking images from Abu
Ghraib prison made their way back
to the west in 2004. Prisoners being
kept on mere suspicion with growling,
salivating dogs kept inches from their
faces; naked prisoners with electrodes
on their genitalia; prisoners being humiliated and terrorized. The keepers
of that prison were all soldiers that
met the standards set by the American
military.
What would the draft accomplish
more than the moral waivers? All things
considered, perhaps it wouldn’t make a
difference at all.
Besides, the very fact that so few
“averag e” Americans are aching to
left-2-3-right-2-3 all on their own accord might be a sign that, hello, Mr.
President, you don’t have the whole
country behind you on this one.
So, the draft or moral waivers? Hm.
Am I the only one who thinks this is
a non-issue? Between “intelligent individuals” or “uneducated convicts”,
the point still remains that the United
States has propelled itself into a war,
f l i p p e d t h e p r ove r b i a l b i r d t o t h e
United Nations and is now costing both
sides of the equation a great many lives.
Now they’re going to start caring about
how the men and women holding the
guns affect their image?
Well, good morning America – what
you look like to the rest of the world is
just as bad as what you’re out fighting,
whether your soldiers have university
degrees or not.

everyone tends to stay in the light,
scared of the shadows lurking in the darkness,
never once stopping to think, to imagine, empathize,
maybe they are just as scared of us as we are them.
they say with each good, there is an evil,
for every yin, there is a yang.
unsolvable riddle, mystified with time,
if a tree falls and no one is around, does it make a sound?
something so perplexing, i could ask of twilight,
how can you define light without darkness?
how can darkness be if there were no light?
jenseits von gut und boss, beyond good and evil,
that is the nature of our hearts, as nitche would say,
in there world of light and darkness, there is are no such thing,
it is all hidden behind a mask of perception,
so, asked as to where you reside, would hesitation pain your heart?
are you sure you are indeed a child of the light?

Saw you from the other side,
Looking across the room.
Felt the beating of my heart stop,
Thinking it was impending doom.
I never realized
That you were so closely far away.
Until that moment you smiled at me
Was all I could think of today.
You flush the blood from my cheeks
And my palms begin to sweat.
The weirdest thing about this encounter
Is the fact that we never really met.
My eyes met your smile
And your eyes, my hiding face.
Without the understanding,
I find my heart in solace.
The questions mentioned
Out in the open air,
Since we’ve never met
Really anywhere,
Do you know me?
Have you ever noticed if I am really here?
Do you like me?
Do you even care?

Stood out in the cold night water
Waiting for the rain.
Wondered what when wrong
To put me in this game.
Watched the waves wash up
Pushing hermits to the sand.
Feeling my palms get chilled
With each tiny shell touching my hand.
I’ve come to realize how tiny they are
And how we aren’t that far.
Staring at the clouded night sky
With lonely stars peering through.
Wishing about stopping the solitude
Of missing you.

Kanada macht an

Man erkennt sie an ihren EastpackRucksäcken. Man erkennt sie daran,
dass sie im Winter mit einem Schal
durch die Schule laufen. Man erkennt
sie daran, dass sie deutsch reden: die
Gastschüler.
Warum so viele Deutsche jedes Jahr
für ein Jahr nach K anada kommen,
habe ich nie wirklich begriffen. Kanada
is doch für deutsche Verhältnisse doch
relativ kalt (meistens jedenfalls),
K anada ist eine halbe Weltreise entfernt und gehört zu einem anderen
Kontinent und g renzt an Amerika.
Doch genau dasscheint es was deutsche Schüler anzieht.
Weg von den Eltern, endlich mal
unabhängig sein, weg aus Deutschland,
weil es ja anscheinend doof dort ist,
alles nur um Englisch zu lernen. Und
wenn man schon die Möglichkeit hat
für ein g a n z es Ja h r o der a uch nur
ein halbes Jahr von zu Hause weg zu
kommen, dann ist die britische Insel

in der Nordsee viel zu dicht und immer noch ein Teil von dem bekannten
Europa.
Mit dem Hintergedanken Kanada
könnte ja so ähnlich wie Amerika sein,
die Schule so wie man amerikanische
High Schools aus den Filmen kennt,
haben sich die Abenteurer bis nach
Montréal vorg ewagt. Der erwar tete
Kulturschock ist jedoch ausg eblieben, dafür haben dann Erstaunen
und Begeister ung eingesetzt, wobei
die täglichen Busfahrten, die eher in
die K atheg orie Entsetzen g ehören,
denn in der Zeit, die man auf dem
Bus von John Abbott bis Kirkland
verbringt, könnte man glatt quer
durch Deutschland fahren. ��
Doch das
reläxt-sein der Kanadier hat es einigen
recht angetan.
Wenn ich jetzt in der Schule r umgehe und mal nachfrage was unseren
Gastschülern hier so am College am
meisten g efällt, kommt fast immer
die gleiche Antwort: dass man längere
Pausen zwischen durch hat und dass
die Lehrer überaus hilfsbereit sind
und einen nicht grimmig anschauen,
wenn man außerhalb des Unterrichts
etwas besprechen möchte.
Ansonsten habe ich noch eine
G a s t s ch ü l e r i n g e t r o f f e n , d i e g a n z
begeistert ist, dass es hier viel mehr
Schwarze gibt als in Deutschland und
„die sehen auch noch rattenscharf
aus“ so Diana.
Und obwohl es einige Gastschüler
gibt, die nur mit anderen Deutschen
was unter nehmen, einig e die in so
ziemlich allen Fächer n durchfallen,
we i l s i e k a u m z u m U n t e r r i ch t g e hen, ist die Mehrheit begeistert von
Kanada und ihren Macken und würde,
wenn sie nochmal die Geleg enheit
