www.gazette.uwo.ca Western’s Daily Student Newspaper • Est. 1906 ...sexy since 1906 Hannibal’s back to torture some unlucky dudes... p. 6 High -6C • Low -13C VOLUME 100, ISSUE 74 • FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2007 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.” Dolan clarified having control PLEASE SEE DOLAN P2 Jon Purdy/Gazette 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 PLEASE SEE REYNOLDS P2 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.” P2 ➤ news theGazette • FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2007 Jon Purdy/Gazette 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.” 3-day forecast Saturday Sunday Monday Light Snow High -4C Low -14C A Few Flurries High -5C Low -15C Flurries High -4C Low -12C Weather news ➤ P3 theGazette • FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2007 They want power, but are they personable?

P4 ➤ opinions theGazette • FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2007 theGazette Volume 100, Issue 74 ‘Make the revolution a parent of settlement, and not a nursery of future revolutions.’ —EDMUND BURKE Ian Van Den Hurk Anna Coutts Matt Larkin 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.

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.

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. —Georgia Tanner “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.” —Bruce Campbell Communications director for the Dufferin-Peel Catholic School Board I’m glad Facebook wasn’t around when I was in high school; bashing bad teachers the old-fashioned way gets you into a lot less trouble. 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- Section Editors 2006-2007 News Jen Davidson Cigdem Iltan Claire Neary Dave Ward Associate Editor Ravi Amarnath Sports Malcolm Aboud James Hayes Stephanie Ramsay Campus Life Allison Buchan-Terrell Sarvenaz Kermanshahi 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. —Georgia Tanner 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?

Tuesday ArtsEntertainment Sarah Scanlon/Gazette 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. By Elena Iosef Gazette Writer 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.

P6 ➤ arts&entertainment theGazette • FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2007 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’.

Void in Quebec and where prohibited. 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. arts&entertainment ➤ P7 theGazette • FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2007 94.9 CHRW Top 30 Charts Artist Various The Guys The Good, The Bad And The Queen Thesis Sahib Born Ruffians Sloan The Machines Of Montreal The Awkward Stage Apostle Of Hustle Sondre Lerche And The Faces Down Quartet Emily Haines And The Soft Skeleton Julie Doiron The Apples In Stereo Camera Obscura Johnny Cash Various Swan Lake Clinic The Hold Steady You Am I Die Mannequin Matt Mays Modest Mouse Oh!

The deadline is March 1. 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. —Carly Conway HD8>6A8D9: >CL6G9:N: l^i] Top 10 RealTrax ring tunes TM Week of February 5 1.

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. —with files from Malcolm Aboud P10 ➤ classifieds theGazette • FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2007 $30 (1 week) 30 words $8 (1 issue) 30 words To place your ad in this section, call 661-3274 or email: [email protected] Housing Housing Housing Housing Housing #1 ABSOLUTELY THE best off campus houses!
