USC
wants
control
of UCC
By Jennifer Davidson
Gazette Staff
On Feb. 5, University Students’
Council President Fab Dolan sent
a letter to Western President and
Vice-Chancellor Paul Davenport
requesting operational control of
the University Community Centre
“What really stuck out for us
was the fact that students have
paid 95 per cent of the costs of this
building [through student fees, not
tuition] since it was constructed,
and yet the university administration still controls the use of the
building,” Dolan said.
The last agreement between the
university and the USC, created in
1995, expired in 2005. The USC
was preparing for the negotiations
for the new agreement.
Dolan said he expects discussion to begin in March in regularly
scheduled meetings, but Dolan
sent the letter in advance so
administration could prepare.
Gitta Kulczycki, vice-president
of resources and operations at
Western, said administration
received the letter but hasn’t formally responded.
“We are surprised by the
request,” Kulcycki said. “There are
many occupants in the UCC aside
from the USC and its related businesses activities.
“We also reached an agreement
with the USC last year that grants
them significant additional space
in the UCC once the recreation
centre is completed.”
“When looking at our long-term
goals like corporate sustainability
and giving back to the students...
whenever we run into problems
and obstacles centered around this
building, the root cause is always
the fact that we don’t have control
and that we pay occupancy,” Dolan
said.
Dolan said students have paid
for the mortgage, rent, construction and renovation costs the past
35 years yet the university retained
control of what they paid for.
Dolan added the university’s
control over the space prevents the
USC from doing things like offering lower-priced food vendors or
cheaper new textbooks.
“This would offer us a lot of
freedoms. We’d be in a situation
where we could do anything we
wanted, like bringing in new vendors to creating more student
lounge space.”

CUTE, MATCHING COLLARS AND SWEATERS. DID YOU GUYS PLAN THAT WHEN YOU WERE GOSSIPING ON THE PHONE THE OTHER
NIGHT? University Students’ Council presidential candidates and teenage girls Chris Reynolds (left) and Tom Stevenson faced off yet
again in the UCC Wednesday.
12-month bus pass, grocery store hot
topics at USC presidential debate
By Claire Neary
Gazette Staff
University Students’ Council presidential candidates Chris Reynolds
and Tom Stevenson went head-tohead again at Wednesday’s media
panel in The Spoke Lounge as they
debated hot issues, including University Community Centre renovations, grocery stores and bus passes.
Candidate Josh Safer made a
brief opening statement and left
the debate due to prior commit-
ments, letting Reynolds and
Stevenson delve deeper into specific differences in their platforms.
The debate was broadcast live
on CHRW, and all questions were
posed by student representatives of
CHRW and The Gazette. Western
political
science
professor
Cameron Anderson attended the
debate and offered some comments to The Gazette.
Anderson said both candidates
seem to have good intentions and
it was evident they want to do the
best for students. He said their
answers — and sometimes lack
thereof — revealed differences in
their visions for the USC.
“When it came to describing the
role of Council for keeping the
president and the Board of Directors in check, the sense that I had
for both responses was nothing
beyond the fact that Council
should be more than just a rubber
stamp for all the president’s ideas,”
Anderson said.
“There was no sense of details or
concrete proposals about how the
council
could
be
empowered...maybe they hadn’t
thought about the topic before, but
both answers seemed weak.”
Reynolds and Stevenson strongly disagreed on the necessity and
usefulness of a 12-month bus pass
over the eight-month pass students
currently get for $118 in student
fees paid to the USC.
Stevenson said he spoke with
many students who said they want
and would use a 12-month pass. He
said he also spoke with the London

Robarts looking to merge with Western
Canada’s only independent research facility in debt
By Ragini Kashyap
Gazette Writer
Robarts Research Institute is Canada’s only independent research
facility and, because it’s in debt, it’s
looking to merge with Western.
Having raised over $45 million
in research grants, the institute has
increased costs in personnel, services and amenities by increasing
research.
The research scientists are now
falling “victim to their own success,” said Susan Horvath, Robarts
VP-external.
Robarts conducts research in
medical areas like cancer,
Alzheimer’s disease and spinal cord
injury.
“Our board has concluded the
current model is simply not sus-
tainable in the long run without
changes in the funding model,”
said Linda Quattrin, Robarts VPcommunications and public
affairs.
The merger hasn’t been finalized, though discussion began several months ago, said Ted Garrard,
Western VP-external. If the merger
goes through, Western will assume
responsibility for all aspects of governance and financial commitments of Robarts.
Horvath said Western and
Robarts have slightly different definitions of what the debt entails and
are working to create a common
definition and set a fixed amount.
A decision must then be approved
by Robarts and Western’s senate
and board of governors.
Hovarth said the Canadian Insti-
tute for Health provides approximately 21 per cent of private
research companies’ overhead
costs, compared to 40 per cent in
the United States. She suggested if
the Canadian budget was as high,
Robarts would be financially
sound.
A non-profit organization,
Robarts was founded in 1986 and
has since successfully filed over 80
patents. As an independent venture
from the hospital or university, the
institute doesn’t receive any government funding for research; it
depends on donations and money
from research grants and corporate
ventures.
Robarts takes a unique, interdisciplinary approach to research,
incorporating physicians, physicists, biologists and biomedical
engineers, totalling over 600
employees.
Garrard said if Western and
Robarts merge, the university won’t
determine the research agenda, but
ensure projects are supported by
the school and fit in with internal
research plans.
Currently, 150 graduate students
are trained at Robarts.
“We hope the merge will appeal
to more undergraduates and graduate students as they would gain
experience in a renowned research
facility and give Western a chance
to preserve this privilege,” Garrard
said.
It’s unknown how long the
process will take. Horvath said
Robarts and Western are working
toward “preserving the common
goal of science finding.”

HE DIDN’T BRING HIS A-GAME TODAY. In fact, he barely showed up at all. USC presidential candidate Josh Safer delivered an opening statement and left Wednesday’s debate because of prior commitments.
Reynolds and Stevenson go
head-to-head, Safer MIA
CONTINUED FROM P1
Transit Commission and learned
Fanshawe College students get a
full-year pass for $134 and Western
students could get the same deal.
Reynolds revealed his stance on
the issue by asking the audience for
a show of hands to see how many
students leave London every summer. Many students raised their
hands and Reynolds said he’d
proven his point.
Anderson said he thought
Reynolds’ poll was gimmicky.
“It made the point with no
veracity, and Stevenson should
have responded by asking ‘and how
many people stay in London,’” he
said.
Reynolds said as president, he
would advocate a full-year pass
only for professional school students who often have classes all
year long. He added the LTC supports his initiative.
Reynolds attacked Stevenson’s
plans to use upcoming extra space
in the UCC to try and put in a grocery store.
He said he spoke with USC general manager Karen Jackson, who
told him a grocery store initiative
has been attempted many times
before and isn’t feasible.
Stevenson said whether or not
these plans have been feasible in
the past, students have told the
USC repeatedly they want and
need a grocery store. He said he’ll
explore alternatives, such as carrying only non-perishable food
items, to avoid problems that have
halted similar plans in the past.
Anderson said Reynolds’ criticisms seemed effective and credible and didn’t differ from strategies
used in many political campaigns.
Dolan:
we need to
see action
CONTINUED FROM P1
doesn’t mean the USC would kick
services like The Bookstore or Student Health Services out of the
building.
“Nothing might change with
respect to the building and we
could collect rent from the tenants
that we as students have been giving.”
Dolan said occupancy fees are
nearly $1 million a year.
“It’s ambiguous, but it’s supposed to pay for heating, lighting
— the costs of running the building, but that’s what tuition is for.
“What will dictate how far we
take this is the university’s
response and its actions. What we
hope for are respectful discussions
and dialogue where students can
benefit and the university can save
face, but ultimately we have to do
what’s right for students.
“We’re not expecting a formal
proposal at this point... but we
need to see some action.”
While Dolan’s term as president
ends soon, he said he has an
advantage of being experienced,
knowing the issues, and knowing
the people on the other side of the
table. All three presidential candidates have told him they’re in
favour of pursuing the issue, he
added.
“I think if both the USC and
Western act respectfully and efficiently, a lot could be done in my
term [though] I think it will take the
majority of the next president’s
energy toward university affairs.”
“We enjoy a very good relationship with the USC and meet with
them regularly,” Kulczycki said.
“Certainly this will be a matter of
dialogue with them in the future.”

A worthy
but lengthy
pursuit
Last week, University Students’ Council President Fab
Dolan sent a letter to Western administration requesting
operational control of the University Community Centre,
for which 95 per cent of operational fees are paid by students. The USC currently pays approximately $900,000
per year to be in the building.
Obtaining operational control of the UCC is a worthy
goal for Dolan and the USC, whose control of the building
would entail many significant and tangible benefits.
Developments like lower food prices in Centrespot and
abolishing administration’s monopoly on textbook sales
would directly benefit students.
The USC must consider the degree to which it wishes
to pursue control of the UCC. Administration has considerable financial reason to maintain control and is
unlikely to relinquish it easily.
As such, the possibility arises of a long-term conflict
concerning the issue. Negotiations will need to happen
and there’s a chance of legal conflict, though both sides
undoubtedly wish to avoid such a measure.
The university’s administration will likely be tough to
intimidate and the USC should prepare for an impasse. If
the USC goes ahead with its goal as planned, it needs to
be ready to see the project through and must be prepared
for heated negotiations.
The USC also should consider the impact this issue
will have on its relationship with administration.
The project is anything but an overnight whim; Dolan
and Council have surely researched the issue diligently.
They wouldn’t have sent the letter if they didn’t have good
reason to believe they could succeed.
Another aspect to consider is the resources utilized by
the USC during negotiations. Funding and a large amount
of the president’s time will have to be dedicated to the
issue. This may hinder the incoming president’s ability to
follow through on election promises.
That said, pursuing the control shift means students
must be selfless in the short term to benefit students
down the road. While the benefits from USC control of
the UCC won’t be immediate, they’ll be far more valuable;
who wouldn’t trade a couple microwaves or an ATM for a
drop in Centrespot food prices?
During elections, students should consider the USC
presidential candidates’ abilities to pursue the project
effectively. All candidates have pledged support to the
endeavour and each claims to be best suited for it.
Dolan should be commended for his initiative. University Students’ Council control of the UCC could benefit students significantly. While Council must consider the
risk of conflict with administration, rewards should be
well worth it, even if they don’t come for a some time.

“Canadians want our judges to continue
being selected without political or ideological interference.Will the Prime Minister stop his shameless attempts to stack
the committees with his ideological
friends?”
—Liberal leader Stéphane Dion
When governments seek to remove the
“checks” embedded in the system in
which they exist, opposition politicians,
journalists and general citizens should
be engaged and informed about the
issue. That is, if they aren’t already completely outraged.
This A+ goes to Stéphane Dion not
because of any kind of Liberal policy, but
because he was quick to address the disturbing recent actions of the Conservative government.
It’s not the first time Harper has taken
issue with political or social institutions
able to criticize or temper his government’s power. For instance, his fight with
the media still lingers in the public’s
memory. However, Harper’s dogged
attempts to eliminate as much opposition as he can is getting excessive.
Canada’s independent judiciary has
been a sense of pride for a long time and
is in the Constitution as a principle of our
society. It’s not exaggerating to say Harper is threatening this important feature
of our democratic society.
He is doing so by proposing changes
to the judicial advisory committees,
which generate lists of potential judges
that the justice minister then appoints.
These influential committees used to be
composed of three members appointed
by the government, and four others from
different sources like the Canadian Bar
Association. Harper has rearranged the
structure so there are four voting government-appointed members, and only
three other voting members.
Harper, of course, is taking advantage
of this change — nearly half the mem-
bers chosen for various committees are
easily identifiable as partisan Conservatives — but his promotion of his own
agenda is only part of the issue.
The point of an independent judiciary — a standard the UN endorses worldwide — is to act as a balancing agent on
governments, preventing the “tyranny of
the majority,” or the potentially dangerous whim of a government in power.
Tampering with the committees that
appoint judges to make them more partisan doesn’t just hurt people with liberal or left political views; it hurts justice
and democracy.

“This is very dangerous ground these kids
are treading on. It’s not conducive to the
moral tone of the school, and it undermines authority. It is damaging to the reputation of this school administrator.”

I’m glad Facebook wasn’t around when I
was in high school; bashing bad teachers the old-fashioned way gets you into a

Robert F. Hall Catholic Secondary
School students suspended for forming a
negative Facebook group about their
principal would’ve been better off bitching about the guy vocally. Instead, 19 of
them are suspended and had to attend
“intimidating” meetings with all the
school staff and a police officer present.
Everyone knows high school kids are
generally jerks. They’re mean to their
teachers, their parents and each other.
Add Facebook into the mix and it’s one
more way kids can bully all of the above.
But let’s face it, whether the school
administration wants to admit it or not,
this kind of sentiment — while undesirable — is hardly new or especially out of
line, and Facebook is a private network-

ing service. The comments about the
principal weren’t on a website accessible
to anyone. They were restricted to a
group people could choose to join. The
fact that the school used comments on a
private Internet message board to suspend students is ridiculous and invasive.
The school board’s reaction is equally unimpressive; rather than addressing
the problem of why the principal is so
widely hated, or why students felt so
angry, they created even more animosity
between students and staff by issuing
suspensions. You’d think professionals
who worked with high schoolers would
know how to handle them by now.
I think I’ll start a Facebook group
about power-tripping principals out of
touch with their student body.

Campaign
hypocrisy
To the Editor:
It’s that time of year again. The time
where we get bombarded with campaign
flyers and speeches about whom we
should vote for. While I don’t intend to
knock the importance of democracy and
student elections, I do wish to point out
something I noticed the other day.
While walking through the University
Community Centre atrium I was handed
a flyer for Chris Reynolds outlining his
campaign strategy. I recognize environmental sustainability has become HUGE
in the last couple years as politicians
finally address this crucial issue. Imagine
my excitement when I learned Chris’
campaign platform included a long-term
plan for environmental sustainability.
However, I was extremely disappointed that I was reading these “good
intentions” off a piece of non-recyclable
paper. These flyers inevitably get thrown
out or tossed aside by busy students who
likely don’t even read them. If you want
to align yourself with sustainability, why
not begin with your campaign methods?
Candidates, please be more careful not
to contradict yourselves in the future!

CROTCHES TAKE CENTRE STAGE. The Vagina Monologues run this weekend in the McKellar Room in the University Community Centre.
Vagina Monologues gives voice to silenced
Raising awareness about violence against women
By Julie-Anne Cleyn
Gazette Writer
“More than any other experience,
[The Vagina Monologues] will make
you proud to be a woman,” says
Sarah Scanlon, a Vagina Monologues co-ordinator and actress.
Scanlon says the play is about
more than just female empowerment.
The monologues were written
by Eve Ensler, also known as the
“ultimate vagina warrior.” They’re
an amalgamation of over 200 interviews Ensler conducted with vari-
ous women about their sexual
experiences.
Performed at Madison Square
Garden in New York and in colleges
and universities across North
America, The Vagina Monologues
has become an inspirational beacon for women.
Western’s production targets
varying viewers.
“You don’t need to be a hardcore feminist to enjoy it,” Scanlon
says. “However, it’s evident they
truly seek to inspire people with
the production.”
“We hope people will find at
least one thing that is poignant
from the experience,” says Danielle
Tegart, the show’s producer.
According to Scanlon, the first
step for increasing female empowerment is changing at least one
woman’s perspective and making
her feel comfortable about her sexuality. The play redefines what it
means to be a woman.
The Vagina Monologues lets
females of all ethnicities and classes bond through its universal stories. It aims to make females realize why they should love themselves.
What started as a play has now
become a global movement fighting violence against women and
girls. Known as V-Day, the campaign takes place every Feb. 14 and
aims to create awareness surrounding issues like rape as a
weapon of war and domestic violence.
“Essentially, awareness is the
only way we can make a change,”
Scanlon says.
“Silence equals violence,” Tegart
says.
Every year a cause is chosen to
receive a portion of V-Day and The
Vagina Monologue’s profits. This
year, women in conflict zones will
benefit; the remainder will go to
local charities raising awareness
about violence against women.
Scanlon says the event isn’t just
for women; all men are welcome.
The three performances have allmale ushers and an entirely malerun bake sale.
The Vagina Monologues runs
Saturday, Feb. 17 at 2 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 18 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. in
the McKellar Room 240 of the University Community Centre. Tickets
are $15 at InfoSource.
The Grand Theatre’s latest Charity on the Rocks
storms
The
Wave
play a Pleasure to watch
By Laura Downs
Gazette Staff
For the Pleasure of Seeing her Again
Directed by: Susan Ferley
Starring: Louise Pitre, Joe Matheson
Michel Tremblay’s For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again is
the Canadian playwright’s loving tribute to his mother.
Exploring the relationship between mother and
son, the play begins with the son’s comedic run-in with
the law at age 10. It progresses through his life until he
graduates college, with his mother guiding him all the
way.
Joe Matheson captures the audience’s attention
with his opening monologue. He says the mother in
this play “is one of you; she is everywhere.” He then
transforms into a young boy whose melodramatic
mother (Louise Pitre) hilariously scolds him for goofing
off.
Although Matheson is a charming narrator, his initial transformation into a young boy was shaky. However, his character smoothly evolves from a quizzical
boy questioning life to a mature adult questioning the
end of his mother’s life.
Pitre stole the show, flawlessly delivering melodramatic stories about her quirky family and life lessons to
her son with good comedic timing. Although some of
her monologues were quite long, she kept the audience captivated and laughing throughout, proving that
“mothers know everything.”
One of her most moving monologues questions the
magic of television after watching a show with her son.
She wonders about an actress’ life after she leaves the
set. The question, “Do the actors ever think about us?”
summarizes her final thoughts.
The touching ending perfectly portrays the son’s
true devotion to his mother.
The mother’s domestic quarrels and over-the-top
stories are her way of “beating around the bush”; however, she eventually opens up to her son and confesses her love and concern for him.
While the stage seemed too big for the show —
which is tailored for a small studio setting — the actors’
chemistry created an unequivocal intimacy onstage
which resonated throughout the audience.
Though Tremblay based the play on his interactions
with his mother, it’s a universal story for mother-andson relationships.
The play is well-written and touching but not too
cheesy. It’s a story of family love and its sole intent is
getting the audience thinking about “the woman you
all know.”
For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again runs at the
Grand Theatre until Feb. 24.

Tomorrow The Wave will be filled
with rock bands, students and philanthropists, as the Undergraduate
Engineering Society presents Charity On The Rocks.
For the past five years, Charity
On The Rocks has raised money for
Engineers Without Borders, which
promotes international development and sustainability.
Though it was initially a small
event, it now attracts people from
across Ontario. The Undergraduate
Engineering Society hopes to raise
$5,000.
Every year, the UES selects a lineup of charity-focused bands. This
year it has recruited three Western
bands and a signed Toronto act.
Two Charity On The Rocks veterans, The Righteous Pink, an engineering funk-rock band, and The
OchO, a well-known Western rock
group, will perform. New on the bill
are Western eng-rockers Paradox
Theory and Toronto’s The Sea Inside.
“Hopefully, as this event continues to gain more momentum, more
people will become aware of the
show and aware of the important
initiatives that EWB pursues,” says
Federico Berruit, an event organizer.
A large international charity
organization, EWB sends engineers
and engineering students to developing countries to help promote
sustainability.
Last year, the event helped pay
for the flights of engineering students travelling to Africa to work on
development projects in Ghana
and Malawi.
The UES is also heavily involved
in charity events like Shinerama,
the Terry Fox Run and food drives.
According to Berruti, the UES
hopes to spread “social justice to
engineering students and others
across campus as well.”
Charity on the Rocks takes place
Feb. 17 at 9 p.m. at The Wave. Tickets
are available at InfoSource and the
UES office, Room 1001 in the Spencer
Engineering Building.Tickets are $10
in advance or $12 at the door.

Hannibal Rising offers a new brand of trauma
Lecter’s story an unflinching look at the making of a serial killer
By Dylan Clark
Gazette Staff
Hannibal Rising
Directed by: Peter Webber
Starring: Gaspard Ulliel, Rhys Ifans,
Gong Li, Dominic West
Before meeting Clarice, helping the
FBI, and promoting the benefits of
eating a human liver with fava
beans and a nice Chianti, Hannibal
Lecter was a young boy growing up
in Lithuania.
Upon his sister’s death, Hannibal (Gaspard Ulliel) makes her a
promise which creates a Kill Bill-
esque revenge story, complete with
brilliantly devised murder techniques.
Hannibal Rising is an interesting
amalgamation of past Hannibal
Lecter films. While Rising is the
most graphic and violent, it’s psychological intensity is similar to
Silence of the Lambs’. Seeing Han-
the SPC Card gets you exclusive discounts
at hundreds of Canadian retailers.

nibal grow up strengthens his character and occasionally makes his
crimes seem justified.
Hannibal Rising’s success is
largely due to its ability to suspend
normal moral judgment. While
Hannibal’s thirst for revenge seems
plausible, his enjoyment is incredibly unsettling. In terms of sheer
brutality and methodical execution, the killing scenes parallel
those in Seven.
The film’s liberal use of violence
shows Hannibal’s growing connection between mutilation and the
satisfaction of revenge. This nearerotic fetishization of violence is
disgusting.
Ulliel is brilliant as Hannibal.
Even with minimal dialogue, he
evokes powerful reactions. His contemptuous sneer is chilling and his
primal roar makes you
question
God’s
existence. Ulliel
brings an unexpected fragility
to the character
and
reminds
you
Hannibal is still a
human being.
Hannibal
Rising has its
faults.
Hannibal’s repetitive ritual of “capture, torture, get answers and kill
the guy anyway” becomes predictable and stagnant. Also, some
key events in the book are omitted
in the film, leaving several questions unanswered.
The final scene is also disappointing. After an intensely powerful climax, a poorly executed scene
unfolds before the credits roll. Fortunately, incredible music during
the credits saves the lacklustre
scene.
The graphicly violent Hannibal
Rising is certainly not for everybody, but fans of the Hannibal
movies starring Anthony Hopkins
will surely enjoy it.

Apostle of Hustle
National Anthem of Nowhere
Arts & Crafts Productions
Apostle of Hustle impresses
with its above-average indie
record National Anthem of
Nowhere.
Andrew Whiteman, Broken
Social Scene’s lead guitarist
and Apostle of Hustle’s ringleader, proves he isn’t just riding the coattails of Broken
Social Scene’s tremendous success.
Musically, the record is a
step forward. It covers a much
broader range than the band’s
2004 debut, Folkloric Feel,
which was limited by its Latin
element. While tracks like
“Rafaga!” and “Fast Pony for
Victor Jara” are a refreshing
return to the Latin sound, it’s
admirable the band explores
other genres.
Several songs offer the trademark indie touch. “Cheap like
Sebastien” and “National
Anthem of Nowhere” could
pass for songs excluded from a
BSS record’s final cut.
The opening track, “My
Sword Hand’s Anger,” is the
album’s most impressive song.
Intense percussion and bass
lines combined with distorted
samples of girly laughter and
thought-provoking
lyrics
translate into a creatively
dynamic sound.
While National Anthem of
Nowhere falls short of revolutionary status, it showcases the
band’s potential to make big
waves in the indie scene.

This ‘racquet’ they call the Purple Pipe
Men and women’s squash teams grab this week’s honours
Joyce Wang/Gazette
IS “SQUASHING THE COMPETITION” TOO UNORIGINAL? Western’s squash teams’ prowess is intact after they swept the OUAs this past weekend. The men have won
24 straight titles. Pictured from left: Greg Hutner, Chris Hanebury, Iain Crozier and Heather Lamb.
By Malcolm Aboud
Gazette Staff
“Banana Phone” and the prestige of
winning for nearly a quarter-century.
This week’s Purple Pipe lands in the
capable hands of the men’s and
women’s squash teams. Both
squads did Western proud this past
weekend at the Ontario University
Athletics championships; the
women won top honours for the
second straight year and the men
secured an unbelievable 24th consecutive title.
Gazette Sports met with several
team members; captains Iain
Crozier and Greg Hutner and stud
contributor Chris Hanebury spoke
for the men’s team while co-captain
Heather Lamb and standout Ashley
Knight represented the women.
The team discussed chemistry,
What did it take for each team to
bring home gold?
CROZIER: Our team is pretty
deep, so in the OUAs it’s pretty...I
don’t want to say easy. It’s a little
lopsided. You should probably ask
[the women], because they had a
battle. We had a walkover.
HUTNER: I think more with the
girls than it was with us, they wanted to win so badly. I saw a couple of
the matches in there that were just
dogfights.
LAMB: It took every girl going at
100 per cent to get to the final. Even
just making it to the finals was a battle, and then the final itself was
tough.
The men have won 24 consecutive
championships. How long will
their streak continue?
LAMB & KNIGHT: [Laughing]
Oh, forever.
What’s the most embarrassing
song on your iTunes?
HANEBURY: Probably something by Weird Al.
CROZIER: Probably some of this
guy’s shit [points to Hutner].
HUTNER: Madonna?
LAMB: Our team song is
“Banana Phone.”
KNIGHT: [Laughs] So, “Banana
Phone.”
If you had to be stuck on a desert
island with one teammate, whom
would you choose?
HANEBURY: It doesn’t have to
be a guy, does it?
CROZIER: Pass.
HUTNER: Pass.
LAMB: I’ll go with Val [Grimba],
my roommate.
KNIGHT: I’m going with Lauren
[Grimaldi], my crazy aunt.
What role does chemistry play in
an individual sport like squash?
HANEBURY: I think it makes a
big difference when the matches
are tight, because you can rely on
your people from coaching more,
but I think for the OUAs it’s maybe
not as important as when we play
in the U.S.
CROZIER: It’s good to have your
team out at the back of the court
rooting for you. It pumps you up
and makes you push harder.
HUTNER: I think it makes a big
difference. If people on the team
are happy and satisfied with what’s
going on, they can rely on each
other for a good atmosphere when
they’re playing. When you’re on the
court, I think it’s still an individual
mentality.
LAMB: I’ve been playing squash
for a long time, and I’ve never felt
as much support as I have during
my match in the final.
KNIGHT: Watching the girls play
— the team getting along and
working together cohesively at
practices and tournaments — has
been the biggest part for us to be
able to come back and do well this
year.
Wrestling squad geared up for provincials
Women’s side strong, men must wrestle to their potential
By Mallory Daley and
Katie Graves
Gazette Staff
Coming off a successful meet in
early February, Western’s wrestlers
have their sights set on the Ontario
University Athletics championships this weekend. Both the
men’s and women’s squads proved
their strength two weekends ago
with strong performances at the
Western Open.
The women’s team placed third
overall with 38 points. Terri McNutt,
wrestling for the affiliated LondonWestern club, placed first in the 61kilogram weight category. Mustang
standouts Stephanie Szmiett and
Gillian McCallum placed second in
the 48-kilogram and 63-kilogram,
respectively.
Jessica Fitzgerald, who placed
fourth in the 67-kilogram class, discussed the team’s future goals.
“I think we need to focus on the
stuff we’re good at,” she said. “[We
need to] go in and [not] try anything crazy.”
The equally prepared men
placed fourth overall with 26 points.
Contributing to the success was a
standout performance by team
captain Phil Medeiros, who placed
third in the 57-kilogram. Also noteworthy was Jeff Werden, who finished fourth in the 54-kilogram.
Medeiros is proud of his team’s
growth this season.
“I think we’ve really come along
as a team,” he said. “We’ve all
improved along the way, and I think
we’re peaking at the right time.”
The key to the men’s success this
weekend will be a veteran presence
for a team lacking the women’s
depth.
Despite the men’s possible vulnerability, Mustangs head coach
Ray Takahashi believes both teams
will succeed at the OUAs.
“Both our men and women have
had some good results,” he said.
“We have 10 weight classes for men
and eight for women, and we have
a chance to qualify in all the weight
classes.”
Medeiros feels the men’s team
can go far if it works to its full ability.
“If we wrestle to our potential
and we all go out with the mentality that we can beat anyone, I think
we’ll be just fine.”
Takahashi hopes his teams avoid
injuries; he says a healthy squad can
make or break their chances.
“We don’t want to risk any
chance of injury, which is a big
issue in wrestling,” he said. “If we
stay healthy and keep a positive
attitude, I think we’ll be fine.”
Takahashi was pleased with
both squads at the Western Open
and thought the event showed their
potential.
“I think it was a good tune-up
for the OUAs,” he said. “We had
some tough matches which could
have gone either way, so I think we
had a pretty good showing.
“On the female side, I think the
likelihood of winning the OUA
championship is pretty good,” he
said.
Expectations are high for the
women’s squad, but they relish the
opportunity to be the team to beat.
Superstar Fitzgerald is up for the
challenge.
“It would be great going into
[nationals] knowing that we were
the best in Ontario,” she said.
