Tuition to increase
in the near future
By Ravi Amarnath
Gazette Staff
Despite calls for a sustained tuition
freeze by lobby groups across
Ontario, the provincial government
will be increasing post-secondary
tuition fees in the near future.
“We have always promised to
freeze tuition for two years, and
this will not change next year,”
stated Chris Carson, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Training,
Colleges and University. “We also
need to come up with a long-term
plan in terms of tuition.”
“I think there’s a number of
things to think about before the
government makes changes in
tuition,” said Adam Spence, executive director of the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance. “They
must make the necessary investments first.”
Jesse Greener, Ontario chairperson for the Canadian Federation of
Students, said he feels an initial
increase in tuition fees could have
drastic consequences for students
in the future.
“There is no limit to which
tuition rates can increase,” he stated. “The premier is promising that
these increases are going to be
modest increases. People have to
ask themselves, how can he be
promising that?”
“Any increase that occurs with
tuition will be moderate,” Carson
assured. “We also plan to increase
funding for schools in the future,
too.”
In addition to the issue of tuition,
Greener is unsure of how the results
of the Rae Review will turn out. “It
would seem unwise to throw away a
widely-supported initiative when it
could so easily be kept.”
“We are in agreement with the
general goals of the report, which
are that more Ontarians have
access to education that is affordable and of higher quality,” Carson
stated. “We’re currently in the
process of reviewing those recommendations.
“The premier has made clear
that it is not a matter of if we will
respond to the Rae Review, but
how we will,” he added.
“Students have asked for an
increase in funding in order to
ensure that there will not be an
increase in tuition fees,” Spence
stated in regard to the Rae Review.
“We believe in post-secondary
education and feel that it is the
foundation of the province,” Carson affirmed. “Our review of Bob
Rae’s findings will be very
thoughtful and thorough. We do
hope to act soon.”

HE REMINDS ME OF ME, BEFORE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
CRUSHED MY SPIRITS. Former Conservative leadership candidate David “The Apple” Orchard was on campus yesterday so
students could revel in his general knowledge of politics.
Orchard on organics
By Dave Ward
Gazette Staff
Former organic farmer and nominee for the leadership of the federal Progressive Conservative party
David Orchard spoke at Western
yesterday.
A self-described political
orphan currently without a party,
Orchard focused on the dangers of
free trade and closer ties with the
United States.
“My interest is in keeping
Canada a sovereign and independent country,” Orchard said. His
stop at Western was part of a crosscountry tour, in part to promote his
book The Fight for Canada.
Orchard said his views are similar to those of Sir John A. Macdonald and the other founders of

UVic students’ exposed thongs in

allows people to vote on individuals’ “t-bars.”
Although the creators of the

disclaimer on the site defended the
legality of taking photographs in
public.
“If you don’t want your thong

your pants. Public areas are for
everyone’s enjoyment; if you are
not comfortable with people you
don’t know seeing your thong
hanging out, wear less revealing
clothing,” it stated.
“It’s more a social than legal
issue,” said Mark Perry, an assistant professor in law and computer
science at Western, clarifying the

pictures taken were not an invasion
of privacy.
“When it comes to Internet law,
it depends on the network server
[as to whether the site is shut
down]. We contact the [Internet
service provider] and the server
would shut down the site. If the
server is in Peru... it’s up to them,”
said Sgt. Michael Mics, manager of
Western’s Campus Community
Police Service.
He added discrepancies in laws
make it difficult to set an international standard on what can be
posted and on the consequences for
breaking laws. “People have different ideas what that threshold is.
“A photograph should not be
posted unless there is written consent,” Mics explained, noting the
line can become foggy when photos are published for the sake of
journalism.
Perry noted there is an amendment under consideration in Parliament to make voyeurism and the
distribution of voyeuristic material
an offense.
“[But] clearly people are violating what one would call privacy
issues,” said Carole Farber, associate professor in the faculty of information and media studies. “[With
the emergence of] things that look
like spy cameras, people might not
know they are on display.”
Think only wings and pizza go
well with beer? A new beer academy in Britain is introducing a
school for people to enhance their
appreciation of beer with beer-tasting courses and advice about
which beers go with various foods.
Canada is already familiar with
this sort of school.
“We’ve been doing [beer education] since 1997,” said Julia Hunter,
Labatt Breweries affairs manager,
adding there are two beer schools in
Toronto and one in each of Montreal, Vancouver and Halifax.
“Parts of the sessions are about
the history of beer, taste profiles,
pairing rituals, glassware, food
pairing, how to change a keg, draft
lines, temperature to serve things
in — that kind of stuff,” she
explained.
Roger Mittag, manager at the
Toronto-based Beer Institute,
helped found beer schools in
Canada as a way of educating
employees and promoting quality.
“Pretty much any food can go
well with beer, especially cheeses.
Think the same way you can match
up wines with food,” he said.
“Lighter beers go well with lightertasting foods like chicken, lighter
pastas, fish and seafood. Much
fuller, robust beers go with fullertasting food like steaks and stews.”
Beer tasting is similar to wine
tasting, explained Mittag. “First
look at the beer’s colour and
describe it to set up the expectations for your mouth. First swirl
the beer, then smell it.”
Wine appreciation has evolved
as a result of wine education, so it
is not unreasonable that beer
appreciation follow the same path,
said Chris Blackmore of London’s
Wine Not store.
“Nowadays people are more
educated about the bridle’s cabernets, merlots, and certain wines
they prefer,” he explained.
“There are beer snobs out there
already; it’s just a smaller percentage of the population,” Blackmore
added.
Beer may have a less elevated
reputation than wine because of
what it’s made from, said Jack
Blocker, professor of history at
Huron University College.
“Beer is made from grain,
which is grown in more regions of
the world more widely than grapes.
Wine is characteristically a drink
with elites because of the rarity and
higher cost used as an indicator of
social status,” he explained.
“Beer can be just as interesting a
drink as wine... there can be just as
many varieties and colours. There
are two types, lagers and ales, and
within those categories are many
variations,” Blocker noted.

CONTINUED FROM P1
Canada, who were concerned
about Canada losing its independence to the United States.
Orchard spoke of the history of
conflict between Canada and the
U.S. and the history of free trade.
“Our standard of living is
falling under free trade,” Orchard
said. “Each province now trades
more to the south than with each
other... By cutting the east-west
links, we’re becoming more
dependent on the U.S.”
He warned against Canadians
looking upon the U.S. as friends.
“Superpowers don’t have friends;
they have interests.”
Canada is moving toward a
North American military with all
of Canada’s forces under U.S.
command, he said, adding a North
American currency would not be
far behind.
Orchard said Canada’s focus
should be on developing its own
industries rather than sending
resources south to the U.S., and he
asserted that Canada has the
resources and the skilled people
but lacks the political will.
He advocated a move towards a
larger organic agricultural food
industry, citing the success of his
own
organic
farm
in
Saskatchewan, and said Canada’s
struggling agricultural industry
could benefit from a move to products free of chemicals and genetically-modified organisms. “Our
government should be helping us
move toward where the market is,
which is organic food.”
“I just didn’t see many solutions
presented beyond education; practically speaking, there was nothing
offered,” said Stasa Veroukis, second-year psychology student.
“He has a unique perspective,
actually being a farmer. He makes
some really good arguments,” said
Kyle Vis, a political science masters candidate.

Speaker to address eating disorders
A group of Western students is raising awareness
about eating disorders this week and inviting students to hear an expert speak on the issue today.
Viola Fodor, a registered psychotherapist who
has dealt with eating disorders for the past 24 years,
will be speaking today at 2:30 p.m. in the Natural
Science building Rm. 1, according to Shineen
Huque, one of the group’s organizers.
Fodor, who has herself struggled with eating disorders, will be discussing positive body image,
Huque said. “Western has a pretty high rate of eating disorders,” she noted.
The discussion is part of a week-long initiative
marking National Eating Disorder Awareness Week,
Huque stated, adding information booths are up in
residences all week in the evening.

Lisa Gilmer
Memorial Award
The Lisa Gilmer Memorial Award was established by the family
and friends of Lisa Gilmer (B.A. English ‘92). Lisa is
remembered for the way she lived: tackling challenges with
determination, a sense of fun, and an ever-present sense of
humour. A former Carlie Brown University Commissioner, Lisa
participated in leadership roles, sports, and outdoor activities.
This award will recognize the achievements of students who share
Lisa’s interests and enthusiasm.
This $1,800, non-academic award is payable in the Fall of 2005.
Applications are invited from students in the Faculty of Arts or
Social Sciences entering third or fourth year at that time.
Applications are available in the Scholarships Office in
the Office of the Registrar, Room 190, Stevenson-Lawson Building,
USC office, and the Dean’s Offices in Arts and Humanities and Social Science.
The deadline for applications is February 28th.

president. But
let’s pretend
that I am. I’ve been around for too long, could care
less about pandering to anyone, and have a pretty
good idea of how ‘The System’ works.
That, and I can’t stand buzz-words like “accountability,” “communication,” “campus safety” and “perambulate.” Here’s my platform:
CHRW 94.9 FM = Top 40 Station
CHRW is a fine station that 93 per cent of students
don’t listen to. Alright, I’ll concede that it may well be
popular off-campus — but until they start paying for
it, I don’t give a shit. Retool the station to what the
kids listen to nowadays at their box socials. Increase
the ad revenue. Increase listenership and compete in
the London market.
TV Western will make money
The station’s equipment and staff would be rented or
sold directly to the journalism department, with the
caveat that the USC be permitted to use it — free of
charge — to broadcast the presidential election live
from the University Community Centre atrium directly to the UCC atrium.
Reform of the Canada Health Act
Increased education funding will never happen as long
as health care is hemorrhaging cash. The external
lobby groups need to be convinced that they must
adopt health care reform advocacy in concert with
education reform.
The importance of debate and discourse
We have a Community Standards Policy that enforces
the rule of law in order to make sure people are free to
debate; evidently that’s not enough. People feel compelled to stop anyone else from making them feel
uncomfortable, and they usually do it by advancing
unassailable arguments like “It’s hate speech!” or “It’s
morally wrong!” I have an idea; let’s all obey the laws
as written and stop telling each other what we should
be thinking.
I will not sing in order to meet students
People have USC representatives — they’re called
councillors — that spend most of their time in residences and faculties. Use them. If your problem is so
big that you need to talk to me directly, you can come
to my office. There’s no way in hell I’m going to walk
up to some kid in CentreSpot and say “Hey, how’s
your pita? And doesn’t the five per cent across the
board inflationary ancillary fee increase piss you off?”
There you go. That’s my platform; a mix of philosophical beliefs that will guide me throughout my
term and initiatives that have strategic consequence
and make a difference, all while respecting the general students’ desire to not give a shit.

Presidential profiles: Ryan Dunn and Guy Holdway
By Sarvenaz Kermanshahi
Gazette Staff
During his past three years of
involvement with the University
Students’ Council, fourth-year history student Ryan Dunn said he has
become increasingly frustrated
with the way things are administered, and feels he is the right candidate to bring change to campus.
“The needs of the students are
being sacrificed for corporate
needs,” Dunn stated, noting as an
example recent price increases at
The Spoke.
“I think I can change that...
bring back a bottom-up as opposed
to a top-down approach.”
Dunn said he has the “most
experience” among the candidates,
pointing to his positions as residence council president at Medway-Sydenham Hall, USC councillor, homecoming commissioner,
residence orientation co-ordinator
and orientation staff.
“I’ve done my research — I have

he added.

His platform is all about change.
Guy Holdway, third-year biology student and University Students’ Council presidential candidate, is dissatisfied with the wayward ways of the current USC.
“Earlier in the year, I was looking at how the USC was going and
I wasn’t impressed,” he said. “Students haven’t been communicated
to well enough. Council needs to
be out there.”
Holdway said he would restructure USC meetings to make them
less intimidating to students.
“I want to have a time during
meetings for anyone to say anything,” he explained. “My approach
is to make it more relaxed.”
Holdway said his distance from
the USC is his advantage over some
more experienced candidates.
“I can bring a fresh vision. I
know how to see a job to the end,”
he said, noting he sharpened his
leadership skills while doing

and the Amazon rainforest.
“A lot of the other candidates
are stuck on fine details. Basically,
I want to increase enjoyment,”
Holdway stated. “I want students
to come to school and not want to
leave, to really love school.
“I will do anything,” he added.
“Look at frosh week. That always
goes over well. We need more
events like that. The bigger and
louder, the better.”
Holdway said he also wants to
make fun more accessible by making it easier for students who are
not members of USC clubs to hold
events.

In addition, Dunn discussed
teaming up with the London

Dunn criticized the incumbent

issues, including perpetuating a

through on campaign promises.
However, he commended the
board for its charitable efforts.
“They... made sure students could

Dunn also had kind words for

Over the
panty line?
Take a picture — it lasts longer. In fact, maybe too long.
Recently, a ‘peeping Tom’ at the University of Victoria was discovered to be prowling campus with a camera
phone, taking secret photos of girls’ thongs, and posting
the pictures on his website.
This individual believes he is in the right, as his site’s
disclaimer blatantly indicates: “If you don’t want your
thong displayed online then keep it in your pants.”
Is the peeping Tom/proprietor right? In our modern
sexualized, technology-ridden society, the permissive
and the perverted are constantly blurring together, so
where do we draw the line?
While few would disagree that this site is at the very
least disrespectful, in a roundabout way, the host of the
website also has a point.
Though lots of girls wear them strictly for comfort or
style, thongs have also become popular as a way to attract
attention. Such a selling point is not limited to thongs, but
all sorts of clothes: bikinis, skimpy tank tops and short
skirts also draw extra attention.
It is clearly unfair to ask men to completely resist
looking when women wear things that seem to scream
“Look at me!” Part of one’s sense of style is about being
seen and earning the admiration of others.
Yet it’s also fair to say that what this photographer did
was perverted. So where between the two extremes was
the line between acceptable and unacceptable crossed?
The answer is simple: when the control of those in the
photos was taken away from them and their privacy was
invaded. In other words, when the person responsible
started taking pictures and making them public without
the subjects’ permission.
In strip clubs, women decide to bare all to men.
Yet cameras aren’t allowed in these clubs because if
they were, women would lose control over where and
when their body is seen. They may choose to let certain people see them nude at certain times, but that
does not mean they want anyone seeing them that
way any time. An audience still leaves women in control as to where their image is seen; taking pictures
and making them public does not. This is where the
line is crossed.
People are allowed to dress however they see fit. By
taking photos without permission, the peeping Tom
invades the private agency of his subjects and objectifies
them without their control or consent.
It is fine for one to admire what is displayed in public,
but it should be a personal decision on the part of the
wearer — male or female — whether or not it goes further than that.
Taking photos secretly and making them public is as
much an invasion of one’s personal space as touching them
without consent. The line of appropriate behaviour may be
blurry, but when it comes to camera phones the line has not
just been approached, but unequivocally crossed.
Same-sex
debate
heats up
Re: “Same-sex marriage is logical,”
Feb. 2, 2005
To the Editor:
Is same-sex marriage really that logical?
Let’s take it to the extreme. Say we were
all gay — what exactly would the world
be like if everyone was homosexual?
For one, there would be a lot more
all-male renditions of Broadway musicals, but also 80 years from now there
would be nobody left. Doesn’t seem too
logical, does it? There are two physical
aspects to sex: pleasure and reproduction. Pleasure aside, a homosexual
lifestyle (and marriage for that matter)
makes absolutely no sense — man and
woman together is the only logical combination.
What then is homosexuality? Well,
much like one-night stands resulting
from a night on the town, it is simply a
selfish pursuit of pleasure. Call me a
homophobe if you must; however, let’s
redefine the term. While I don’t fear
homosexuality, I fear the effects samesex marriage will have on our society
and our future.
I fear our children will grow up questioning who and what they are. I fear the
young boy growing up with two mothers
will lack what it takes to be a loving
father someday. I fear the young girl
growing up with two fathers will have to
have the changes her body is undergoing
explained to her in a Grade 8 health
class, rather than from a loving mother.
I fear that family, which should be the
fabric of our society, will be lost. So am
I a homophobe? Yeah, I guess I am, I just
hope I’m not the only one.

choice; it is merely a person’s sexuality.
If it were a decision, it would definitely
be a difficult one. Therefore, most would
not choose to be gay, and not at all
because there is anything wrong with it
or because it is “evil,” but because of the
fact that homosexuals are still being discriminated against.
It takes an extremely strong person to
show his or her homosexuality because
he or she knows that he or she will be
treated differently, and we should not
only respect him or her for that but be
fascinated by his or her bravery.
Secondly, dealing with the whole
idea that it is against God’s plan to have
homosexuals — then why would God
create gays? Just because a person is
attracted to those of the same sex makes
a ridiculous reason to classify those people as morally and religiously sinful.
Those who are homosexual do have
the opportunity to have children — there
are many babies out there waiting to be
adopted into a loving family. The fact
that two people of the same sex cannot
create a baby does not mean they are
destroying the traditional family because
there are many, many straight couples
out there who cannot have babies and
must adopt.
Therefore, it is not only homosexual
couples who cannot have children but
many heterosexual couples as well, and
you certainly do not see the heterosexual couples being alienated.
I am a heterosexual female, and I am
sure none of you care that I am straight.
Yet if someone that you did not know
told you he was gay, according to some
of the statements made in The Gazette, it
still matters to people. My question is:
how can people be so closed-minded to
reject the idea of same-sex marriage?

Immaturity
To the Editor:
A year ago, as an over-aged high school
student, I was excited to leave the high
school environment to attend a place
where the attitudes and behaviour of the
people around me reflected a level of
maturity, to a place where we are all
finally adults.
Apparently, I haven’t found that
place yet. Last week, while I was
parked in one of the student parking
lots on campus, some individual
thought it necessary to hoist themselves onto the hood of my car, walk
across the hood, onto the roof, and
then jump off. How do I know this?
The quite visible foot-and-hand-prints
that made themselves apparent in the
night frost upon my return to the
parked vehicle.
Now, I’m not one to turn down a
good time — if walking on your car
turns you on, go for it. Stipulation:
make sure it’s YOUR car. Some of us
work hard for the vehicles we drive —
the keys to daddy’s car aren’t just handed over. What would possess a supposed adult attending university to act
so disrespectfully toward someone
else’s property for no apparent gain is
beyond me.
To the student who did it — I hope it
was worth it for the “thrill” of the action.
Perhaps you should look into developing
your interests a little. That is one of the
main purposes of attending an adult educational institution. Of course, I am
assuming that all of us are adults. Perhaps I need to reassess this belief.

Vagina Monologues
spread awareness
By Lori Mastronardi
Gazette Staff
Cunt. Snatch. Cooch. Poon. Twat.
Muff.
Vaginas have generated a surplus
of sometimes catchy, sometimes
shocking slang terms. However,
Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues encourage women to reclaim
such seemingly offensive words and
embrace their feminine physiques.
Ensler’s Monologues are a collection of simultaneously controversial and empowering stories,
primarily designed to educate the
public about issues involving violence against women. The monologues sparked V-Day, Feb. 14, a
day aimed at ending the violence.
Third-year women’s studies and
french student Karyn Belanger is
the producer of Western’s version
of The Vagina Monologues. While
the aforementioned slang terms
generate controversy, Belanger
believes that saying the word
“vagina” is empowering: “It’s an
opportunity for women to own
every part of their body and not be
ashamed of any part of it. Vaginas
are a beautiful part of the body.”
Belanger stressed the need to
educate the public, since many
people have blurred or skewed
visions of what V-Day entails.
“When people don’t agree with
The Vagina Monologues it is
because they are not educated. I
don’t get angry — it’s just that
some people don’t understand what
they’re all about.”
While many have joked about
the possibility of a male counterpart to The Vagina Monologues, VDay advocates have seriously discussed it. Cast members worldwide
convene in online forums to discuss such issues and more.
“We decided to call it P-Day —
Penis Day. P-Day is when one in
four men have been assaulted. PDay is when 40 men in Canada
have been killed by male infanticide. P-Day is every day of the
year,” Belanger described.
However, Belanger admitted the
idea of a potential male version is
complex. “This is the hardest question to answer because over 95 per
cent of violence happens to
women. Those are the stats. The
stats don’t lie.”
The women involved in Western’s Monologues were particularly
motivated by the Women’s Community House; sadly, the organization had to open a second shelter
this year.
“It’s bittersweet — it’s good
that they were able to open another
shelter but the question is why do
we need one? And it’s already
full!” Belanger said.
The proceeds from the first
three years of Western’s production
totaled over $25,000, but this year
alone the girls are expected to raise
a minimum $16,000. They have
done so by turning The Vagina
Monologues into a year-round
fundraising endeavour. In addition
to the Monologues, this year’s
group hosted two fall events: a
woman’s brunch and an art show.
“The Vagina Monologues are all
about education and raising as
much money as possible... by
bringing awareness, we feel we are
helping to end the violence,”
Belanger noted.
This year’s production differs in
regard to both fundraising initiatives and the actual production.
First, the T-shirt designs have
changed. While in the past words
like “cunt” and “beaver” appeared
across chests, this year the girls
will wear shirts with words such as
“peace,” “youth,” and “hope.” For
example, the girls in the “Menstruation Monologue” will showcase
Jesse Halperin/Gazette
I DON’T WANNA WORK/I JUST WANNA BANG ON THE DRUM ALL DAY. The girls of The Vagina
Monologues drum up support for their Feb. 14 and 15 performances.
words like youth, anticipation, fear
and excitement, while the popular
“Orgasm Monologue” T-shirt
showcases the word ecstasy.
As well, the colour choice has
switched from black and red to
white and pink, reflecting this year’s
theme of hope. “Before it was more
like a candlelight vigil; now it’s
more like a celebration: a Vagina
Festival,” Belanger explained,
adding she hopes this year’s audience will include more men. “My
dad is coming; it will be funny. And
my big brother is coming, too — I
think he’ll faint when he hears me
talk about periods.”
Every year the production can
choose two optional monologues;
this year’s group chose one serious
monologue (“Under the Burka”)
and one important, but humorous
monologue (“My Short Skirt”).
Belanger explained that “My Short
Skirt” is an especially relevant skit
because “we are on a university
campus.” The goal of the monologue is to remind people that a
short skirt does not equate to an invitation to partake in sexual affairs.
While on the topic of wardrobe,
one monologue centers around
what one’s vagina wears. In reference to her own, Belanger said that
“It depends on how I’m feeling that
day, but I think my vagina would
wear silk panties... my vagina
would be sexy; it wants to be sexy;
it is sexy.”
While some people prefer mainstream slang terms such as “poon”
or “beaver,” Belanger created her
own term for vagina. She prefers
“La Vagina Française,” for two reasons: “First, I’m French. That’s a
big part of who I am and who my
vagina is,” she laughs. “Second, in
French, vagina is masculine, so I’m
reclaiming it and putting ‘la’ in
front of it.”
Belanger compared the Monologues to a rollercoaster: “One
minute you’re laughing, the next
minute you’re like ‘woah.’ You’ll
leave thinking ‘woah. what just
happened here?’”
The Vagina Monologues take place
Sunday, Feb. 13 at 1 and 8 p.m.
and Monday, Feb. 14 at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at InfoSource. However,
tickets for Monday’s performance
will only be sold at the door.

UPN cancels programs about as
often as most people change their
underwear, but it’s still a notable
event that for the first time since
1987, there is no Star Trek series on
the air.
Enterprise (a.k.a. “The one with
the guy from Quantum Leap”) will
be canceled at the end of this season, thus becoming the shortestrunning Trek series since the original’s three-season run from 196669. For most hardcore Trekkies,
Enterprise’s cancellation came
about, oh, three years too late. It
never became the solid ratings hit
that past Trek series were, and even
by the standards of the notoriously
hard-to-please Trekkies, the show
just wasn’t very good.
These have been some lean
years for the Trekkies. On top of

• Feb. 14 can be a day of love, lingerie or loneliness. Some singles
may want to chow down on chocolate in order to beat the blues —
something that Miranda surely
wouldn’t resist. When her life
lacked love, she left the following
pessimistic message on Carrie’s
machine:
“I know you’re probably busy
having mind-blowing sex, but I
feel you need to know that your
good friend, Miranda Hobbes, has
just taken a piece of cake out of the
garbage and eaten it. You’ll probably need this information when
you check me into the ‘Betty
Crocker Clinic.’”
strength of The Next Generation. I
still remember enough to be able to
tell a Klingon from a Ferengi, and,
in the grand tradition of most
Trekkies, my dating life stinks —
had I been a real Trekkie, I
would’ve said “a dating life as barren as the moons of Rigel-7,” so
there’s hope for me yet. Then again,
I did look up the proper spelling of
“Rigel” on the Internet. Damn it.
I was never really motivated to
keep watching the later shows;
since TNG was so good, it was difficult for other programs to live up
to such a high standard. Many plots
tended to repeat themselves, the
characters were either too generic
or just blatant ripoffs of past characters. Plus, Star Trek was becoming its stereotype: an odd sci-fi
series to be enjoyed only by really
obsessive fans.
What will it take to revive the
Star Trek franchise? Oddly enough,
the cancellation of Enterprise
might be the wakeup call producers
need to recognize the failing state
of their franchise. A few years off to
recharge the proverbial phasers of
creativity might result in a renewed
sense of vitality and a chance to
generate some new stories.
The big change between the
original series and TNG was to set
the new series a century after the
original — and perhaps another
jump into the future is necessary to
freshen things up. Of course,
Enterprise was set in the era before
the original series and that failed
miserably, but in theory, Star Trek:
The Third Generation will have
much, much better scripts.
In an era where superheroes
and Lord of the Rings have
become the geek chic favourites,
it’s time for an original mainstream cult hit to return to where it
has boldly gone before.

How to
host a party
Valentine’s Day: love or hate it, it’s here to stay
By Katarzyna Nega
Gazette Writer
This week Campus Life asked students: “Do you like/participate in
Valentine’s Day and why or why
not?”
By Dallas
Curow
Gazette Staff
“I participate because my girlfriend expects it.”
Owen Bramley
Administrative and Commercial Studies I
“I like it. Being a couple it is more
pleasant, but when you are single
it is harder because you could be
the only one who is single. Being
single is less expensive.”
David Oskirko
Social Science I
“It is fabulous when you have
someone, because they can give
you gifts, but when single, you
spend it with your girlfriends and it
is just as great. But while others are
getting ‘be my valentines’ cards
and stuff, it is depressing.”
Claire Shannon
Valentine’s Day, by nature, is
geared toward the couple. It’s that
one day when the hopeless romantics can call each other “schmoopy
woopy” and get away with it. Considering this, can the unattached
still have fun on the dreaded V-day?
This week, Campus Life goes to
the streets to brave the battle of the
lovers and the haters. We also
explore the options out there for
singles.
Medical Sciences II
“I do like it. It gives you the opportunity to express your love to
another person, and it is a special
day because you can say what you
feel. An excuse to use commercialism as a reason to celebrate.”
Elana Schnied

“I like it and participate to remember someone; except when you do
not have someone, it doesn’t seem
so special.”
Carissa Bronicheski

“I would participate, but it makes
you think about love more and it
makes me miss [my boyfriend] a
lot more because he is away. But I
remember how special he is and
the times that we have had.”
Stephanie Chabot
Medical Science II
“Yes, because any excuse to spend
another special day with my girlfriend is good in my books.”
Rob Mikulec

Dave Picard/Gazette
“No I do not, because I do not have
a reason — too busy or stressed out
for it — but hoping that this year
there will be, there are some beautiful ladies out there.”
Kareem Morant
How do you choose your
lovers? Do you look for
sparkling eyes, washboard abs, or
other physical assets? Physical factors are a major part of romantic
relationships, and there’s a lot to be
said for getting back to the basics
and looking at some fundamental
facets of interpersonal attraction.
Although modern technology
offers new and innovative ways to
connect with people, the fast-paced
nature of student life makes looking
for that perfect mate even more diffcult, according to Western psychology professor Lorne Campbell.
“No matter what era, relationships are always complicated,”
Campbell said. “However, as people are seeking more education,
they look for a partner later in
life.” He added that — as most
students know all too well — the
busier things get, the harder it is
to find a date.
Mel Usselman, professor of
chemistry, explained that “everything that a person does is a huge
mixture of chemical reactions.” He
added that researchers can monitor
which parts of a subject’s brain are
active when he or she looks at a
person they find attractive.
“Although humans have lost
much of our sensory capacities,
we are still able to recognize people by their scent,” Usselman said,
outlining the many factors that
make up a person’s unique aroma:
diet, soap, fragrance and perspiration. The combination creates a
signature smell, and people engage
in “chemical communication” by
noticing each others’ scents.
Although scent reveals a great
deal about a person, “you can’t go
out to the bar and by smelling someone know thats they are ‘the one’for
you,” Usselman said. “When people
talk about a couple having ‘chemistry,’ they are not referring to molecules; it’s the chemistry of attraction, a good feeling.”
Hearts Introduction Service has
been hooking up couples for 21
years. Under the careful guidance
of professional matchmaker
Ruth Campbell, singles
engage in an old-fashioned
letter
exchange. They
are told the
name, age
a n d
pro-
fession of their potential partners. Natasha Cruz, personal assistant to Campbell, explained that
the service is used primarily by
older individuals as “young people
can usually get it on their own.”
Besides updating from typewriter to PC, Campbell hasn’t
changed her tried and true methods
over the years. In addition, clients
are never shown a picture of the
other single before meeting them.
With over 1,200 clients, Hearts
is not set up to facilitate one-night
stands. It is unlike many other
modern dating services in the
sense that its clients “are in pursuit
of the right person. The direction is
serious and geared toward a longterm commitment,” Cruz said.
Campbell remarked that matchmaker services are “ultimately just
providing a forum through which
to meet people. Once a couple has
actually met, different mechanisms
kick in and it all comes down to
whether or not they ‘click’.”
What about nudity – how is that
good for the sexual self? By shedding pretenses along with clothes,
individuals can come to be more
comfortable with themselves and
in turn with their partners.
Explaining that the term ‘nudist
colony’ is both inappropriate and
inaccurate, Stephane Deschanes,
president of the Federation of
Canadian Naturists’ was more than
happy to bare all in the informational sense. He explained that
“naturists generally are more comfortable with their bodies. Without
clothing it is a lot easier to ditch
pretenses and games. People can’t
hide behind their material assets or
sophistication in this sense.”
He added that naturists have the
lowest divorce rates and display
less sexually deviant behaviour.
Deschanes admitted that most
naturists are older, also saying that
“when you are 20 years old, it is
unusually hard to accept
yourself... the idea of
naturism
is
uncomfortable.”

V-Day: she (and he) will be loved
By Lorraine Forster
Gazette Staff
Valentine’s Day is upon us and
while the cheesy romance movies,
endless heart-shaped boxes of
chocolates and pungent bouquets
of roses are enough to make all
singles sick to their stomach, it
doesn’t have to be a day just for
couples.
If you are a single, why not
make this year’s pink and red holiday a day to profess your love to
yourself? After all, if Carrie Bradshaw can register at Manolo Blahnik for her wedding to herself, singles everywhere can celebrate
themselves this V-Day.
If you’re stuck for ideas on how
to profess your love for yourself

suggestions:
• Check out Rent, presented by
Broadway in London at the John
Labatt Centre on Feb. 14 for one
night only — tickets start at
$58.25.
• Take a tour of the Labatt Brewery and profess your love for beer.
• Head to The Wave for Love on
the Rocks at 9:30 p.m. Monday and
Tuesday, with a special presentation by The Stag Shop on Feb. 14

Theatre.

THE GAZETTE
P11
Competition looms for QB job CBC loses Olympics
from camp.
“The three guys behind me
were hot on my tail last year,”
Howard said. “With hot-shot guys
coming in from all over the place,
you can never really know what to
expect at camp.”
Lucas Garby is the second candidate for the job. Garby is a rookie who has also been playing since
his childhood and has been training
extremely hard this off-season. At
6’4” and 210 lbs, Garby is a much
bigger player than Howard.
Garby competed with Howard
for the backup role last season and
hopes to gain the confidence of his
coaches for the upcoming year.
“I want to prove to myself and
to everyone else that I can lead this
Mustang team to success,” Garby
said. “I have been training six days
a week and I feel good about getting a shot this season.”
The final candidate for the
quarterback position is Anthony
Adderley.
“I’d like to get better as a player
and mature a bit,” Adderley said.
“I’m very raw and I would like to
understand the coverage schemes a
bit better. There’s not much separating [the quarterbacks] as far as
skill level goes. I think I have a
good shot [at starting].”
Whoever is chosen as starting
quarterback this upcoming season
will face a tough situation. The
quarterback role is one that carries
with it a lot of pressure and responsibility.
“If [the quarterback] is playing well and is also winning,
they will get the credit,” Haylor
said. “But if they lose they get
much more credit for the loss,
and that is what comes with the
position.”
With only seven months until
more university football, off-season
training and recruiting are the current focal points for the Mustangs.

TIPS ON — HOW TO WRITE A CLASSIFIED AD
THAT SELLS 1. Use a KEYWORD. This
immediately tells the reader exactly what it is you
have to sell. 2. Make your description CLEAR and
FACTUAL. State the year, make, model, color,
size, and tell what condition the item is. Also state
the special features. 3. State the PRICE.
Successful Classified advertisers have learned that
the price in an ad helps increase the chances for
results. 4. If there’s a genuine sense of URGENCY,
say so. The words, “We‘re Moving” or “Must Sell
Fast” suggests that readers respond immediately.
5. Include your PHONE NUMBER. Classifieds get
results fast and often generate immediate sales. If
you cannot be available to answer the phone at all
times, be sure to specify special calling times such
as “after 6 pm” or “Before 11 am.”

Williams declined to answer
any questions about him being the
“face” of the Games. Asked if it
would be strange to sit at home in
2010 and see someone else doing
the job he’s had for so long, he
replied, “I don’t know. It’s a long
way away. Five years is an eternity
in television.”
As big a blow as losing the
Olympics may be to Williams, it’s
a second jolt for Olympic co-host
Ron MacLean, already out of his
usual Hockey Night in Canada job
due to the NHL lockout.

was probably braced for it. It
sounded like there was pretty powerful convergence on the other side
and... it comes down to money.”
MacLean said he’s not concerned about his job, “but I am
worried for our group,” he said.
“As corny as it sounds, you go to
the Olympics as a team. It’s a
marathon and we do it together.”
With Williams destined for the
role of viewer in 2010, the job of
main Olympic host for CTVRogers could fall to Rod Black,
who served as host when CTV
broadcast the 1992 Barcelona and
1994 Lillehammer Olympics.

ON DECK:
Men’s and women’s hoops... Friday
Croley brings her bunch back from Notre Dame
By Cory Hare
Gazette Staff
Western’s track and field team got
a taste of American sports excellence last weekend when it traveled
to Notre Dame, home of the
famous golden domed basilica and
the fabled Fighting Irish.
The fact that Notre Dame places
high value on athletics is obvious
immediately upon arriving at the
historic campus at the edge of
sleepy South Bend, Indiana.
The huge bowl of a football stadium — where legendary quarterback Joe Montana earned a reputation as the master of the fourth
quarter comeback — holds more
than 80,000 people.
Next door is the double-domed
home of hockey and hoops, its two
arenas complemented by countless
practice courts and glitzy displays
of Notre Dame’s past and present
sporting glory.
And that’s just the beginning.
There’s also an aquatic centre with
an Olympic-sized pool, outdoor
practice fields, softball diamonds, a
baseball stadium, tennis courts, fitness centres and a couple of golf
courses.
Then there’s Meyo Field, a high
pavilion housing a full-sized football field and a 320-metre running
track. Atop the record board here is
the name of former Argonaut and
Fighting Irish receiver Raghib ‘The
Rocket’ Ismail, commemorating his
1991 assault on the 55-metre dash.
And here, for the second straight
year, Western sent its best track and
field athletes to compete in the
Meyo Invitational, a meet that
attracts hundreds of athletes from
New face for
Olympics
TORONTO (CP) — He’s the face
of the Olympics to many Canadians, the smooth and insightful host
of CBC’s Games coverage. But
unless Brian Williams changes
employers he won’t be behind the
desk at the 2010 Vancouver
Olympics.
The International Olympic
Committee has awarded Canadian
broadcast rights for the 2010 Winter Games and 2012 Summer
Olympics to a consortium of Bell
Globemedia, which owns CTV,
and Rogers Communications for
$153-million U.S. The CBC is
believed to have bid $103-million.
The CBC will handle the Turin
Olympics next year and the 2008
Summer Games in China. After
that, CTV-Rogers will take over.
“It’s the nature of television,” a
philosophical Williams said.
“Products come and products do
move back and forth.
“Obviously it’s disappointing
and I feel badly for people I’ve
worked with as a team.”
Williams, 58, has hosted the
CBC’s Olympic coverage since the
Los Angeles Games in 1984 and
has been involved in 11 Olympic
broadcasts dating to Montreal in
1976.

several Ontario schools and dozens
of U.S. Division 1 schools ranging
from Michigan to Mississippi.
It was a typical track meet in
many ways — the infield scattered with uniformed clumps of
flexing, bending bodies as results
and start times flowed over the
P.A. system. Atypical for the visiting Mustangs was the level of
competition — far higher than
Mile, generated the most excitement of the weekend. With hundreds lining the track to shout
encouragement and the announcer
booming out every turn, 13 of
America’s fastest men pounded out
four blistering laps.
Four men broke the mystical
four-minute barrier, with twin
brothers from Indiana University
taking the top two spots.
the triple jump final, but couldn’t
move higher.
“I haven’t seen that kind of competition ever,” he said. “I came in
knowing they were better than I
was, so I just tried to step up to their
level, just do what I could do.”
Runner Abdull Zubair set a personal best in the 400 metres, but
still placed 31st. “It definitely put
me in my place,” he chuckled.

the usual homegrown stuff.
“This is definitely the highest
calibre I’ve ever raced against,”
said second-year runner Bethany
Janzen. “It’s quite overwhelming,
actually, the level of talent at this
meet. I’m amazed at some of the
times that people are running.”
First-year jumper Andrew
Judge was in awe. “From walking
in here and looking up and seeing
how high the ceiling is, to some of
the outstanding performances that
the athletes put on... it really makes
you want to try harder,” he said.
“To see some of the runners, that’s
what really makes you go ‘wow’.”
The marquee event, the Meyo
Between competitions, athletes
from all over the continent got to
know each other. “Are you Canadian?” an awestruck competitor in a
Missouri uniform asked Western
sprinter Buki Ayeni. “I never met a
Canadian before. I’ve never even
seen a Canadian.”
A few minutes later the guy
walked away shaking his head —
newly filled with Canuck trivia.
“It’s the highlight of my day, man,”
he muttered.
Performance-wise, one of the
best Mustangs was Tumelo Molecko, who set personal bests in the
long and triple jumps. Molecko
snagged the last of eight spots in
Zubair and two other Mustangs
also set personal bests in the 300
metres, a race in which few Americans compete. Zubair cracked the
top eight along with teammates
Randy McAuley, Jason Rhodes
and veteran Bob Westman.
Westman ran his best time of the
season, securing a spot at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships in March and maintaining
his No. 2 national ranking.
“It’s a little intimidating at first,
but you’ve got to just run your own
race. It doesn’t matter who you’re
going up against... they’re just going
to pull you to a faster time,” he said.
The men’s 4x400 relay team
also posted a CIS qualifying time.
Currently ranked No. 1 in Canada
and used to topping the podium,
the squad barely cracked the top 10
last weekend.
“That’s why we go there, specifically so we can get beat in the
4x400,” said relay coach Jim Parker. “By doing that our guys will
jump up another level.”
One of the most promising
Mustangs going into the meet was
high jumper Mitch Vermue, who
matched a Western record the previous weekend by jumping 6’11”.
But Vermue bowed out early, failing at 6’7”, a height he would normally clear in his sleep.
“There’s a whole bunch of
things I did wrong,” he said. “It
was just overall poor jumping on
my part.” Vermue attributed his
performance to “a little bit of
nerves” and “some really intimidating competition.”
On the positive side, a personal
best by Shayna Boland in the 1,000
metres put her in 10th spot and
ranks her third in the OUA. “Being
in a fast field is definitely to your
advantage because you get pulled
along with the leaders,” she said.
Other 10th place finishers were
pole vaulter Jennifer Sulpher and
long jumper Judge.
For head coach Vickie Croley,
the trip south was about preparing
her athletes for stiff competition in
the long and short term. “This
experience will make going into
our [Ontario University Athletics]
championships in three weeks a
little less intimidating, because
they had the opportunity to compete at such a high level at Notre
Dame,” she said.
Will Western capitalize on year of the QB?
By Travis Kruger
Gazette Writer
Peyton Manning, Daunte Culpepper and Donovan McNabb: three
young quarterbacks who are the
current elite of the National Football League. The 2004-05 NFL
season was the year of the quarterback. Never before has there been
such a widespread talent pool in
the position.
Manning put up quite possibly
the best season in quarterbacking
history, breaking several NFL
records including Dan Marino’s
single-season touchdown record —
49 TDs in one season.
A close second to Manning was
Culpepper, who threw for an astonishing 4,717 yards this season, a
mark that would normally garner
MVP honors.
McNabb was almost as impressive as his young counterparts,
throwing for 31 touchdowns and
leading his Eagles to their first
Super Bowl since the 1980s.
Manning, Culpepper and McNabb weren’t the only ones posting
huge seasons this year, however.
Drew Brees came out of nowhere
to lead the oft-hopeless Chargers to
an AFC west division crown and a
playoff spot.
There’s also Ben Roethlisberger
(raw-thlis-berger: say it right now),
a rookie from Miami who led the
Steelers to a 15-1 record, while not
losing a game until the AFC championship against the Patriots.
Speaking of the Patriots, when
talking about quarterbacks, one cannot forget to mention dreamy studmuffin Tom Brady, who yet again
led the Pats to Super Bowl success.
There are also many other quarterbacks who did extremely well,
but to list the feats of all who did
well this season would be too much
for just one article.
So after years of having to hear
about how a good offense is a good
defense and watching Ray Lewis
strut his stuff all over the field, the
quarterback is in the spotlight once
again.
After growing up watching
greats Dan Marino, Troy Aikman,
Steve Young and then-youthful
Brett Favre in the ’90s, it is good to
finally see a new crop of quarterbacks leading the way in the NFL.
Mustangs football coach Larry
Haylor has seen many quarterbacks
come and go in his time, and has a
definite respect for the quarterback
position.
“Without a good quarterback
you’re not going to win,” Haylor
said. “If the quarterback is not
functioning well, then the team is
not going to do well.”
Next season Western will be facing a hole at the quarterback position as the Canadian Interuniversity
Sport’s second all-time leading
passer Chris Hessel will be graduating. Western will thus have to turn
to a new stalwart to lead the way.
“We have got some candidates
on the team, but we are also
recruiting candidates for the position,” Haylor noted of the team’s
situation.
The Gazette had a chance to talk
to the young bucks vying for Hessel’s spot and found all three to be
confident in their abilities.
Mark Howard, a second-year
player who backed up Hessel for
most of last season, is the eldest of
the bunch. While he is undersized,
he shows good determination and
has been playing football since the
third grade. Howard is confident in
his skills, but noted that one can
never be too sure what to expect
PLEASE SEE COMPETITION P11
Dave Picard/Gazette
LESS HESSEL, MO’ PROBLEMS. With the departure of quarterback Chris Hessel, the Mustangs hope that a Ben Roethlisberger
or Drew Brees-like player can emerge from their list of candidates for the 2005-2006 starting job.
