Stephen Lecce CFS-Ontario Student council’s OUSA membership passes pro-life under review this month ban motion By Jay La Rochelle By Lauren Pelley Gazette Staff Gazette Staff The always-controversial abortion debate is heating up across the province after the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) of Ontario passed a contentious motion. At a conference in January, CFSOntario approved a motion to support student unions that wish to ban pro-life groups from their campuses. The motion was brought forth by the Lakehead University Student Union, that wished to deny official club status to the group Life Support. Concerns CFS-Ontario would support student unions targeting religious groups that oppose abortion were raised by a representative of the Ryerson Student Union (RSU), who was in attendance at the conference. Heather Kere, RSU VP-education, proposed an amendment to the motion on the basis the definition of an “anti-choice” group was not clear. The amendment was not passed. The University Students’ Council is set to review its membership in the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance and Western students are being asked for input. According to USC external affairs coordinator Patrick Duncan, the council’s provincial and federal representation is reviewed every two years. This year, the USC is discussing its provincial membership in OUSA. OUSA is a coalition of elected university student councils from across the province. The organization provides research and ideas to the provincial government on how to improve postsecondary education in Ontario through lobbying, advocacy, awareness campaigns and various other means. The USC has been a member of OUSA since the organization’s inception in 1997, but had previously been part of the Ontario branch of the Canadian Federation of Students. The CFS, founded in 1981, represents over 80 student unions PLEASE SEE PRO-LIFE P3 across Canada and, unlike OUSA, aims to represent student interests at both the provincial and federal levels. Several other differences also exist between the two organizations, despite their similar goals. While the CFS advocates solidarity, OUSA offers student unions the ability to be autonomous, David Simmonds, VP-university affairs for the USC and OUSA president, explained. “We take positions [on issues], but if a member school is uncomfortable with that, they can step back,” Simmonds continued. He said OUSA focuses solely on matters of postsecondary education, whereas the CFS takes stances on various issues. Dave Molenhuis, the Ontario representative for CFS, said the federation is uniquely member-driven, unlike OUSA. “OUSA was founded as an organization of student councils and has a student council mentality about it,” Molenhuis added. “We’re differentiated on that ... [CFS] has more focus on individual membership.” Molenhuis noted OUSA does not run services for students. “We still own Travel Cuts, the largest student-owned and operated travel organization in the world,” Molenhuis said. “We’re leaders in that respect.” On Feb. 13, students can attend a public forum to discuss the merits of membership in OUSA or the CFS. “We’re looking at both organizations holistically and inviting both organizations to come speak to us,” Duncan said. “As well, we’re getting student input on the process to get a broader vision of what the campus is looking for and what Western’s needs are.” The public forum will aid the USC’s External Affairs Committee in drafting a report to bring to council. Voting on the issue will occur in early March. Simmonds, who chairs the committee, declared a personal conflict of interest and is acting only as an OUSA spokesperson in the USC’s decision process. The forum will be on Feb. 13 from 4:30-6 p.m. in the McKellar Room, University Community Centre.

CONTINUED FROM P1 “The amendment was to clarify the language around the past actions of the group that would be denied space,” Kere said. Kere noted pro-life groups should not be banned unless they are harassing students or using sensationalistic imagery. She added the group at Lakehead had behaved inappropriately in the past. Sandy Hudson, the CFSOntario Women’s Commissioner, said while the motion is not meant to target religious groups, groups that oppose abortion should not be funded by students. When asked whether Ryerson students should be exposed to both sides of the abortion issue, Hudson said allowing an antichoice group would be like allowing a white supremacist group on campus. Hudson added the literature distributed by Life Support likened abortion to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and the Holocaust. The CFS-Ontario decision is welcome news for Joyce Arthur, coordinator of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada. Arthur believes pro-life groups should not receive support from student unions because they seek to repress human rights. She said these groups are comparable to Neo-Nazi movements. Jakki Jeffs, executive director of Alliance for Life Ontario, asked why pro-life groups are being targeted by student unions. “What is so different about a pro-life group other than it is politically incorrect?” she asked. Although Western’s main campus does not have a pro-life group at present, there is one at King’s University College. According to Nathan Welch, a member of King’s Live for Life, a pro-life group at King’s, the University Students’ Council will review an application by students at main campus to establish a prolife group in the next two weeks. He said such an application was turned down by a previous council. By Mike Hayes Gazette Staff Criminals of all stripes found their way into London this past week, giving police lots of work and crime reporters lots of material. From panicking pedestrians to driving four sheets to the wind, the usual suspects were at it again. On Western’s campus, a driver struck a female student walking east across Huron Street, south of Lambton Drive. The driver allegedly honked at her and stopped — an action she perceived to mean ‘continue walking.’ Unfortunately, the driver thought honking the horn meant she should stop. The end result was a pedestrian with bumps and bruises and a driver in trouble for not giving the right of way. Meanwhile, crime was imported to the Forest City by way of Windsor. The London Police Service arrived at an address on Southdale Road and executed a search warrant for Nicholas Ingram — wanted for an attempted murder charge in Windsor. Hilarity ensued as Ingram and two others were found with drugs and firearms. Among the goodies: enough blow to buy at least four seconds of Super Bowl advertising (or $22,400), about 50 grams of crack and a “small quantity of marijuana.” Last, but not least, were numerous RIDE programs operating on Sunday to coincide with the Super Bowl. Though many stayed home to watch the big game, RIDE processed 200 drivers over the day. Of these drivers, six were tested and two found themselves without a license after failing their sobriety tests. The story of the day goes to the driver who introduced his car to a tree at Wilton and Highbury Avenue. The driver was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries and arrested upon release. Whether he couldn’t go on after New England’s botched perfect season is unknown.

And there is no freedom of thought without doubt.” —BERGEN EVANS Allison Buchan-Terrell Brice Hall James Hayes Editor-In-Chief Deputy Editor Managing Editor Editor - [email protected] Deputy - [email protected] Managing - [email protected] website at www.gazette.uwo.ca University Community Centre Rm. 263 The University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, CANADA.

Blog crosses the line The government is currently investigating a student at the University of Toronto-Mississauga for hateful comments posted on his blog, specifically advocating the killing of Western soldiers in the Middle East, in addition to a number of anti-Semitic comments. The student’s comments suggested that someone ought to kill Western soldiers in order to get Western nations out of the Middle Eastern theatre. There were further comments regarding the influence of Western Jewish people and the author’s desire to kill Jews. While we value freedom of speech and expression, such a blog post obviously raises unsettling questions about limits for Internet content. There is a fine line between what is and is not appropriate to publish online. While blogs ought to have a lesser standard of censorship than more institutionalized media outlets such as newspapers, that doesn’t give everybody a free pass to say anything they want online. Bloggers often get away with racier and more controversial statements than mainstream media, but there’s a difference between controversy and hate literature. This student’s comments are undoubtedly inappropriate and constitute hate — especially with regards to the anti-Semitic comments. As such, it is reasonable to say he should be monitored, if not punished. Freedom of speech is a right that needs to be protected; it’s admirable for people to create an open dialogue on contentious issues. However, it’s fair to say no real dialogue is necessary on issues like anti-Semitism, especially content that can be interpreted as a call to arms. The government is right, then, to investigate this individual. It’s important to keep a close eye on this type of subject matter when it is so readily available to anybody with a modem. This blog could plant the wrong ideas in its readers’ minds; while we’re in no position to determine whether this student’s blog is a legitimate call to arms, it should be noted that it appears that way. It’s worth mentioning the difficulty of censoring or possibly marginalizing an already bitter group, and we need to remember that this individual is right in his own mind. However, this issue has already received significant media attention and these thoughts are not serving constructive debate. We have hate speech laws in effect for a reason — largely to prevent the distribution of, or access to, material like this. Anti-Semitism is destructive, and there needs to be initiative on the part of our government to prevent it from being spread. As such, the government is right to monitor this individual closely. It should investigate the avenues available to censor, if not punish him. Letters to the Editor Don’t like sophs or Charity Ball? Just don’t go Re: “Charity Ball a soph-fest for douchebags” Jan. 31, 2007 To the Editor: It seems as if Matt[hew Barnes] had something negative to say about every aspect of Charity Ball. If all he was after was meaningful conversation, cheap drinks and nice decorations, he should have stayed home where he could have made all three for himself. Charity Ball is the only campus-wide semiformal in which people from all faculties and programs can have a night together and raise money for a good cause. I do not understand his hatred towards the sophs who choose to attend Charity Ball. I fail to see how being a soph and dressing up makes Charity Ball less enjoyable for somebody who clearly shouldn’t have gone in the first place. People go to the ball to have fun and be with friends, not to make themselves feel like they are making a difference.

Symptoms may not appear for months after exposure to the virus. Some people never get symptoms, even though they carry the virus and can infect sexual partners. Certain types of HPV are a significant indicator for predicting cervical cancer in women. Cervical cancer is preventable. The To the Editor: Not interested in my rebuttal? I’m not interested in being personally attacked by someone I don’t know for attending an event with my friends. You seem to have lost track of the purpose of the night during your ranting and raving. Many of us recognize that Chari- —Erica Spear Political Science II most effective approach to eradicating it is Cancer Care Ontario’s recommendation for cervical cancer screening. This is accomplished through regular Pap tests and recommended vaccinations. To clarify, Gardasil (the HPV vaccine) prevents two HPV types that cause up to 70 per cent of cervical cancers, as well as two types that cause genital warts. The vaccine is most effective when given before the onset of sexual activity, thus giving a rationale for the Ontario school-based inoculation program for Grade 8 females. Gardasil is also effective for women up to 26 years of age. On Oct. 5, 2007, Cancer Care Ontario stated: “Gardasil has been extensively tested for five years in international studies involving over 20,000 women. The vaccine has passed the same rigorous evaluation process required of all new drugs in Canada.” As a fourth-year public health nursing student, I believe in an upstream approach that includes promoting health and preventing disease.

I heard many people say, “Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s for charity.” Which is more important? That attendees be able to name the charity or that they choose to attend an event where the proceeds will be going to a charitable cause? What matters more is that the Western community raised $24,000 for the Big Sisters of London, an amazing charity that gives back to the community. If you feel so disparagingly towards your peers, do us all a favour and donate your money directly without coming to Charity Ball next year. Personally, I don’t feel like being attacked for contributing to a cause and enjoying an evening with my friends, some of whom happen to be sophs — myself included. Oh, and by the way, before you write me off as some “pretentious Western girl,” I knew which charity was the beneficiary before I attended the event.

There is no illusion of grandeur here — just people wanting to have a good night. And please do not try to blame every bad experience you have on sophs — it just cheapens your argument and makes you look petty.

The student designers, models and dancers from across the city are busy preparing the fashion show for Feb. 9 at the London Convention Centre in support of young cancer survivors. The not-for-profit charity fashion show began in 2003 as a means to help cancer charities. This year, Infusion has shifted its focus to helping youth and young adults directly, offering $2,000 bursary packages for postsecondary education. It also pays the debts from the cost of cancer care, since the average patient has $25,000 of debt. “Cancer patients aged 13 to 28 are a unique segment, as people younger than 13 get cancers that are common in that age. People over 30 get cancers that are com- mon, too — the middle segments get cancers from all over the place, so it’s a lot harder to assess and treat,” Shawna Eiseinstat, creative director and choreographer for Infusion, says. Eiseinstat has been involved with the show since the beginning. “One of my girlfriends received an email from the organization looking for dancers and asked if I wanted to come out and try out. I didn’t want to dance, but I thought to myself, they probably need choreographers. So I sent an email to them and I got brought on to do the show.” Having taught hip-hop at Western for five years, as well as having her own dance studio in London (Élan Dance Arts), Eisentstat incorporates a variety of musical styles into the show, ranging from hip-hop and breakdance to lyrical and jazz. “I used to hold auditions for choreographers, but now I bring in friends with dance history or guest Tuesdays - All You Can Eat Mexican Buffet 1199/pp choreographers … I have a few coming from Toronto, like Shawn Byfield from Hairspray and Kim Parnell from Ab Strakt Breakin’ Systemz.” Infusion, however, is different from other fashion shows. “One of our main things that we hold above other fashion shows is that we audition models that aren’t stereotypically ‘model’ skinny or tall. We accept anybody [from] all sizes, shapes, colours — as long as they are passionate about our organization.” One of this year’s surprises is a guest appearance by Omarion, R&B crooner and former lead singer of B2K. With fashion scenes like socialite, corporate and celebrity, this show is guaranteed to be worth the cost. Ticket prices may be steep, but considering the cause and the entertainment, the Infusion Fashion Show is the place to be this coming weekend. Infusion tickets range from $41, $46, and $65 for regular, premium, and VIP tickets, and can be bought at a booth near the Tim Hortons in the UCC from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. every day this week.

Wednesday Men’s Hockey Mustangs dispatch Lancers in crucial game | Victory keeps Western in contention for first-round bye | By Daniel Da Silva Gazette Writer With its season coming to an end, the Western men’s hockey team is in a dogfight with three other teams in the competitive Ontario University Athletics Far West division. Trailing Lakehead University by five points before the weekend, Western needed to get two points against the last-place Windsor Lancers Saturday night at Thompson Arena. “It was a big game and the guys sometimes have the tendency to take Windsor a little bit lighter. But if we play well enough, we should be able to beat them,” Western assistant coach Barry Martinelli said. The Mustangs did just that, emerging with a huge 3-1 victory over the visitors and leaving the arena with 38 points on the season. It was certainly not the Mustangs’ best performance, but it was just enough to win. “We sat back a little too much. It was an average game for us, but we picked up the two points. It was an ugly win tonight,” Mustangs goalie Brad Topping said. Left winger Jesse Boucher led the way with the game-winning goal and an assist and helped the Mustangs to a 17-4-4 record. Kevin Richardson and Jeff Martens were also on the scoresheet for Western. The Mustangs, on the strength of a three-game winning streak, were looking to carry momentum into the beginning of the game. However, they got off to another slow start. Just over four minutes in, Windsor opened the scoring, getting a fortunate bounce when a pass in front of Topping deflected off Windsor’s Dillon Stokes and into the cor- ner of the net. “When they scored the first goal, we knew we had to pick it up a bit because they upset Laurier the other day and we wanted to make sure that didn’t happen to us,” Martens said. Western did just that, getting its legs going after the opening goal by establishing a hard-hitting forecheck and creating several great chances. The hard work finally paid off when Richardson buried a rebound after Sal Peralta’s initial shot. It was Richardson’s teamleading 17th goal of the season. Defenceman Adam Nemeth drew the other assist. While the game was played in Windsor’s zone for large portions of the second and third period, the Mustangs seemed to be snake-bitten and failed to capitalize on several great chances. If visiting goalie Jim Watt didn’t make a spectacular save, it was the post that came to Windsor’s rescue. “Sometimes you do a lot of right things but the puck just doesn’t go in the net,” Martinelli said. “Their goalie had a really outstanding game.” It wasn’t until late in the second stanza that Western finally got the lead. With 2:27 left in the period, a nice passing play by Kyle Piwowarczyk and Patrick Ouellet set up Boucher, who buried a hard wrist shot top shelf with Western on the power play. With the game so close, Topping came up with several good saves when the Lancers threatened. He stopped 30 of the 31 shots he faced. Watt stopped 35 of 38 for Windsor. Western locked up the game late in the third when Boucher fed Martens with a beautiful long pass, allowing Martens to go in alone on Wednesdays SALSA Jonas Hrebeniuk/Gazette DIGGING DEEP LIKE A TEXAS OIL MAN. The men’s hockey team snagged a vital two points in its 3-1 victory over the Windsor Lancers this past Saturday at Thompson Arena. The ’Stangs have a doubleheader against the rival Lakehead Thunderwolves looming next week. a breakaway. He made no mistake and put the shot into the top corner. The game was not without some controversy. Windsor had two goals disallowed: one for a high stick and the other for a player batting the puck into the net with his arm. Windsor head coach Peter Belliveau was clearly upset with the calls during the game. “I thought the ref was pretty biased tonight,” he said. “But I thought the team competed pretty hard. A lot of our forwards are hurting but I thought the guys showed a lot of heart.” The Mustangs now go into Waterloo to play the Warriors before coming back to London for a doubleheader against the divisionleading Lakehead Thunderwolves. The team needs to win its three remaining games in order to have a chance to win the division and get a bye in the first round of the playoffs. “We have to come out and play hard every game,” Topping said. “If we outwork the other teams, I think we’ll be fine. Obviously, we have to have better starts to the games. Hopefully, we can go into the playoffs on a roll.” www.gazette.uwo.ca FREE Dance Lessons Thursday ViVa la Vogue Fridays Allure Saturday Sensual Saturdays LSAT MCAT GMAT GRE Preparation Seminars Complete 30-Hour Seminars Proven Test-Taking Strategies Personalized Professional Instruction Comprehensive Study Materials Simulated Practice Exams Free Repeat Policy Personal Tutoring Available London.
