Student groups meet with Premier
Still Perfect
President addresses faculty
by Josh O’Kane
Nearly two months after the Commission on Post-Secondary Education in New Brunswick released their controversial report recommending vast changes to the current PSE system, no answers have been found as to how many or which recommendations will be followed. Though no answers were given, UNB Student Union VP External Jordan Graham says that at least students’ voices are starting to be heard. Graham was one of the UNB representatives who attended a meeting last Wednesday with members of the provincial government, including Premier Shawn Graham and the Hon. Dr. Ed Doherty, Minister of Post-Secondary Education, Training, and Labour. The New Brunswick Student Alliance (NBSA) was also in attendance, with representatives from the province’s various university student unions and representative councils, as well as three from New Brunswick’s community colleges. Student groups, as well as many residents of the province, are concerned with several of the report’s recommendations, including the conversion of the UNB Saint John campus and two satellite campuses of the Université de Moncton into polytechnic institutes. In their proposed form, these institutes would offer specific technical education and lack the research and liberal arts education that the existing institutes provide. The meeting acted as a forum for key stakeholders in the issue, in this case, the government and students in post-secondary educational institutes, to discuss the effects the recommendations in the report would have on them and the province as a whole. “We each had an opportunity to discuss what our views were on post-secondary education commission Report,” says Jordan Graham, of the meeting. “We had a chance to speak to what we thought were the important factors – whether that was the Report overall or the specifics towards individual institutions.” The stance taken by UNB students at the meeting was a united one. “UNB took a strong stance together,” explains Graham of the two campus’ councils. “We didn’t represent as UNB Fredericton or UNB Saint John, we spoke about what would be the interests of UNB as a whole.” Graham says that he primarily argued towards the benefits the UNB Saint John campus brings to the Fredericton

Sew... it’s Halloween by Mitchell Bernard
It’s always tricky to find a great Halloween costume. Of course, it’s the big night when all the ghosts, witches, and other cliché costumes come out, and I’d be the first to admit that my choice of costume ideas in the past have been less than creative, most of them being last minute ideas thrown together before heading out the door. So to help with some costume ideas, I recently visited the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design on Queen Street in Fredericton. I was hoping to see some new and creative designs from people who are poised to enter into the world of fashion. This was my first trip to NBCCD. Although I’ll admit I don’t really know much about Halloween fashion, Jaclyn Wilson, a third-year fashion student,
was kind enough to discuss Halloween costumes with me. I found her working at her costume along with other fashion students in the third-year section of the school. We discussed everything from Halloween fashion to her repertoire of past costumes, including a prize-winning design: Poison Ivy from the Batman series, which was Wilson’s costume last year. “Most inspiration for costume ideas come from film,” she said as we stood at her worktable. “There are many different ways to find inspiration…even just typing in Halloween costumes in Google.ca and finding ideas that way.” She predicted that there would be many pirates this year from the release of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’ this past summer. Other students at the fashion school noted that you could find inspiration everywhere, including magazines. Many of the fashion students have been recently working on costumes of their own for Halloween. For Wilson, she’s logged a lot of hours working
on a lion tamer costume, which she designed. “I started working on the idea this summer for my circus clothing line,” she said, showing me a sketch for the costume. She added that it would probably take her 40 or more hours to complete it. Complete with a corset top, boy shorts with garter, and a tiny top hat, Wilson plans to be a lion tamer with a bit of an edge. She admitted that the costume is a bit risqué, but I’m sure she won’t be the only woman out this season with a costume showing a bit of leg or décolletage. When asked if she is currently designing costumes for any family or friends, Wilson told me that she’s too busy working on her own costume, even though she does try to help come up with some ideas for friends. As far as producing the costume, she just doesn’t have the time. Along with the design for Halloween, Wilson is also

Pumpkin Sacrifice hits 35th year by Jordan Gill
The longest-running residence tradition in Canada, and what is possibly UNB’s oldest student tradition, is set to go for another year. Harrison House’s Great Pumpkin Sacrifice will take place on Wednesday, October 31. Legend has it the tradition began 35 years ago when an intoxicated Harrison resident (and current UNB professor) climbed onto the roof of Harrison

Harrison House holds longest-standing residence tradition in Canada every Halloween House and proceeded to hurl numerous pumpkins to the concrete below. Despite how it sounds, this
year’s Loyal Guardian, Charlie MacPhee, says that the pumpkin sacrifice has a profound effect on the residents of Harrison House.
“It sounds like something that could be seen as funny, but we take it actually quite seriously,” says MacPhee. “The point of it is not just destruction or just novelty... It’s really to bring our House together to one common focus, and to put all your work together, and to put all your energy together, to create something pretty monumental.” The Loyal Guardian has the most important job of the sacrifice. It is his job to carve the pumpkin and to preside over the whole Sacrifice ceremony.

The President of UNB held a meeting last Thursday inviting members of the UNBF and UNBSJ staff and faculty to come together and discuss the issues in the Post Secondary Education Commission Report that was released last month. A tele-conference was held at the Wu Conference Centre between Fredericton and Saint John. Many staff and faculty members have mixed feelings and concerns about the Report. Some say it is misleading and contradictory in that it states that its first priority is the students’ interests, while making statements on issues such as tuition that would be detrimental to students’ needs. President of UNB Dr. John McLaughlin made his position on the matter clear, stating that there has to be change that will meet the specific needs of the citizens and all the people in the community. He introduced what he referred to as his “bedrock principles,” which included UNB being a public, comprehensive university, having a core curriculum, and having a student-focused agenda. Jula Hughes, Law Professor at UNB, felt encouraged by McLaughlin’s principles, which she said reassured her of comprehensive programs on both campuses. This is just the beginning of the process for staff and faculty members of both campuses as they fight for the future of their universities. “Our students deserve to have something better come out of this,” said McLaughlin at the conference; “it’s going to be difficult because we are all going to the table with our own bedrock agendas.” McLaughlin also pressed that he sees this issue as being about both the campuses in Fredericton and Saint John. He believes the twocampus model is a basis for strong universities in the country. Regena Farnsworth, Assistant Professor at UNBSJ and a member of the Association of University of New Brunswick Teachers (AUNBT), brought up the concern of staff members in Saint John. The budget process is beginning and staff fear the cutback may lead to lay offs. The budget is expected to begin soon and no statements on the issue can be made until the government decides what they are going to do. UNBSJ has suffered the most financially throughout the whole process. McLaughlin plans on working with his colleagues to find solutions to their financial problems within the next two weeks. “We are waiting to have the follow-up meeting to see what is on
the table,” he said. President of the UNB Student Union Brad Mullins commented that the President tried to be as reassuring as he could for staff and faculty members. “One of the most threatening positions is uncertainty and it has not gone away,” said Mullins. He feels the Report is an accurate reflection of what the students have asked for and does not want to see it dismissed. “There are a couple of groups calling for the dismissal of the Report,” he said, “but that is not our stance.” Mullins sees a lot of good in the Report that needs to be addressed in the near future. The financial aid elements are good and need to be implemented, he said. As for the development of the polytechnics, “it is only a small part, 10 pages in a 60 page Report,” said Mullins. Members of the staff and faculty on both campuses expressed their concerns with the issue of UNBSJ becoming a polytechnic institute. Hughes stated that what UNB truly needs is more provincial funding, that money has to come somewhere and they are looking for the province to provide that money. The answer is not to turn a well established university into a polytechnic. “The problem with polytechnics is they only have narrow programs that are not quite university standard,” said Hughes. “Now more than ever, women are entering technical educational fields, so why take that opportunity away from them?” asks Hughes. She says that polytechnics only focus on engineering and skilled trades such as heavy equipment, welding, and ironwork. Skilled trades don’t have the tendency to attract women in any significant numbers. “I see a real danger that we are throwing women’s education down the tube,” said Hughes. If UNBSJ was to be turned into a polytechnic, Hughes says that the credits students received there would not be transferable outside of the province. Students would be able to take credits they gained in community college and transfer them over, but only within the jurisdiction of New Brunswick. “That is only one side of the coin because our programs have to be accepted outside of New Brunswick,” stated Hughes. UNB would lose its national status, she said, and it wouldn’t be good for anyone in the past who has graduated or for anyone in the future. “There would be no benefit,” said Hughes. “Hopefully the government will realize that before judgment day.” Hughes is also worried that the ability to attract students from outside the country will decrease. People won’t want to come to the school if they know that what they study there won’t be worth anything once they want to go back home and work, said Hughes. Diversity in the schools and the classroom is a key instrument. “When you get people from outside of the country it makes a difference,” said Hughes, “to have a diverse class makes it a better experience.” This will essentially close the boundaries for international students coming to UNB and for anyone who graduated from UNB to leave. “What are we going to do…build a wall?” she said.

Tossing wood for charity UNB receives excellent overall mark for academic reputation

MacKenzie House resident Greg Melanson tosses a caber in the rain last Saturday morning.
by Alison Clack
For hundreds of years, Scots have been gathering on the misty Scottish highlands to celebrate and compete in the various annual Highland Games. Saturday, October 27, 2007, the residents of Mackenzie House lined up along the sidewalks beside Residence Administration on a cold and rainy morning to show their Scottish pride and to toss some wood for the eighth annual Mackenzie House Charity Caber Toss for Big Brothers Big Sisters. The traditional caber toss, one of the most well-known of the Highland Games’ events, involves throwing a log roughly sixteen to twenty feet long and eighty to one hundred and thirty pounds. The Mackenzie House caber toss’ cabers are only a fraction of the size of the traditional cabers – the largest Mackenzie caber, nicknamed ‘Shad’, weighing roughly fifty pounds – but the throwers quickly learned that tossing a caber is not nearly as easy as it looks. Competitors were made up of a selection of Mackenzie House residents
and other residence representatives, including Brian Beaudette, President of Aitken, and Christy-Lynn Jenkins, a representative of Lady Dunn. The tournament began with a big brother and little brother from Big Brothers Big Sisters throwing the first two cabers. After various elimination rounds, the tournament came down to finalists Brian Beaudette, Chelsea Steeves, and Tara Forler. After a tense finish and many people wondering whether a non-Mack resident might win the competition, Forler was named as champion caber-tosser. With the last caber thrown and the champion announced, Mackenzie House managed to raise roughly $1,500 from the day’s event. The money raised went towards the Mackenzie House charity, Big Brothers Big Sisters. While their main event, Caber Toss, is over, Mackenzie still plans on raising more money. “Where Caber Toss is the major thing that the House does for charity they don’t usually make that much more after the event,” said Mackenzie House Treasurer, Mitchell Hoar. “After Caber Toss last year the house was only able to raise $115 but we as a House are looking to put the effort into seeing the House raise much more than that. It would be nice if by the end of the year we could raise $2,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters.”
Mackenzie House believes it could easily achieve that goal this year. Through various fundraiser activities the house has already managed to raise more money than last year. “This year we have done a few activities to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Through selling raffle tickets, a charity poker night, a charity barbeque, and of course our actual Caber Toss, Mackenzie House was able to raise $1,579.26, which is an improvement from the $1,500 raised the previous year,” said Hoar. While it might seem minute, the improvement is relatively large considering the amount of throwers this year. “This year we had twenty-three tossers, which is down from the thirty-three that threw the year before,” said Hoar. The lack of actual throwers did not detract from the support the House showed; throughout the competition, residents and Mackenzie alumni watched the event and cheered on the throwers. The entire event was a strong mixture of showing pride in the House’s Scottish heritage, with determination to earn money for a good cause despite some poor weather. While the weather during the event seemed intent on putting a damper on everyone’s day, the show went on, and the event helped make sure that some kids could get the support they need and have a good time.
The Globe and Mail has recently released the 2007 University Report Card for all universities across Canada, giving them letter grades from A+ to F in several different categories. For overall university experience, UNB was given a B+ and its sister campus, UNBSJ was given a B, while St. Thomas University received an A. UNB was given great marks in many categories such as: Quality of teaching (B), professors’ knowledge of subjects (A-), and online library resources (A-). UNB also received a B for overall academic reputation. The Report is a representation of students’ opinions of their universities. It grades 53 universities based on the survey opinions of more than 43,000 undergraduates. At the top of the list was King’s University College in Edmonton that got an A+ (the only one to get a perfect score), for overall satisfaction with the university experience. There are many different categories
ranking the universities. It allows each university to look at the problem areas and the positive aspects of their schools. Each university is put into four main categories based on its student population, ranking from ‘large’ to ‘very small’. ‘Large’ is 22,000 students and over, ‘medium’ is 12,000-22,000, ‘small’ being 4,000-12,000, and ‘very small’ is considered fewer than 4,000. Shirley Cleave, the Associate Vice President Academic for the Learning Environment, shared her thoughts on how the Report can be useful to students. “The University Report Card is one source of data that students can use when they are trying to decide the university that will best meet their educational goals,” said Cleave. “Students should be cautious in interpreting the results, recognizing that the difference between each level is only 0.2.” The rating system seems to be more effective than the ranking system used in other surveys. Cleave explains that although the University Report Card seems legitimate, students should be aware that by combining a number of related items, it creates the sources provided in it. She further explains the problem: “Some items in the scores may be more or less relevant to particular institutions.” Students should be particularly aware of taking these scores at face value. In response to the Report, UNB has been taking steps to improve on areas where the scores were relatively low.
Cleave mentioned the new suite-style residence was actually built in direct response to requests of different styles of residences. In the fall of 2008, Student Affairs and Services, including Student Health and Counseling Services, will be moved to a better space. UNB will also be working on improving its food services. They are aiming to provide more organic food choices for students. The university is also working to dedicate its resources to raise funds from donors to support scholarships and ultimately make university more affordable. Cleave feels the Report is only one source of student feedback. It has been successful in improving the educational experiences of students both inside and out of the classroom. “It is important to recognize that this is one snapshot that should be used in conjunction with other data that universities collect,” said Cleave. When students are deciding which university to attend they need to consider other forms of information as well. “It should be used with other resources that are available to students such as web pages, university calendars, recruitment offices, faculty and staff, and current students,” she said. The University Report Card is just another way of informing potential future students of what each university has to offer, and a way of letting current students voice their likes and dislikes with the experiences they are encountering.

Recycle this paper ‘Pushing Carts to Warm Hearts’ and win by Tamara Lund
Green Team holds paper recycling contest to promote awareness around campus
by Lauren Kennedy
In New Brunswick, each person produces about a half a tonne of garbage every year and with a residence community of over 1,000 students, which is a lot of garbage produced each year. This means the potential to make a big impact on recycling is huge. With that in mind, the residence community has started a recycling program to help students become more environmentally friendly on campus. The project, called the Green Team Committee, formed in early September consists of house proctors and presidents who are interested in protecting the environment. It organizes various projects to educate students and allows them to be aware of their green actions on and around campus. The committee holds meetings about once a month to discuss and plan these events. This year, they are planning to expand the activities to include more contests and challenges. There are already blue bins around each residence for recycling, and each resident was given an individual cardboard box at the beginning of the year to place in their room to make recycling even easier. Carl Bradley is a proctor in Neill House and the Chair of the Green Team. He is in charge of delegating responsibilities and making the phone calls to set up all of the chosen activities, the most recent one being the residence paper recycling competition between the Houses. “When the University’s physical plant picks up the paper bins from the houses, the bins are weighed. A tally is kept for the duration of the contest and the house that recycles the most amount of paper per resident wins the competition and gets a prize. The prize involves a House event or something that can be

Blue bins are found in each residence across campus used by every resident of the house,” said Bradley. This event is designed to encourage residence involvement and the point of it being that it is a cooperative effort to recycle the most amount of paper possible. Bradley agrees that when you live in a smaller residence room, they can get cluttered quickly and it’s not very convenient to walk to the front lobby every time you have one piece of paper to throw away, so the smaller individual boxes that were given to each student at the beginning of the year facilitate recycling on a campus-wide basis, he explains. “I believe exposing residence students to recycling creates awareness about recycling and also starts good habits that students can take with them to the next stage of their lives,” he said. “I am passionate about recycling because I feel that as the dominant species on the planet, it is up to us to protect the environment and not just exploit it.” The ultimate goal of this project is to get people passionate about recycling, but for Bradley, his personal goal is to get people to realize that being ‘green’ is relatively simple and it is the small changes that add up and make a difference. “I think everyone is capable of making simple changes, like recycling paper, and the residences are a good place to start,” he said.
Tibbits Hall, one of the two all-female residences, is preparing for their annual food drive called ‘Pushing Carts to Warm Hearts’ following tradition since 1995. Starting at 10am this Saturday, November 3, groups of four or five Tibbits residents armed with shopping carts will canvas for donations to the Fredericton Food Bank. This year, there are 64 participatants brokwn into twelve groups. This is a popular event for the House and attracts the support of many girls living in the residence. As in the previous years, the girls will cover 29 streets, stretching from Graham Avenue and Windsor Street to Dundonald and Mongomery Street.

Like Emily Murphy before her, Dr. Wendy Robbins is a pioneer in the field of Women’s Studies. She has been teaching within the University of New Brunswick’s English department for 20 years and co-founded the interdisciplinary Women’s Studies Program in 1986. “When I came here in 1984, I was the only woman in the English department out of 23, and where there were no prior courses on the study of women writers, it was really hard to find courses that were related to women. I introduced five new courses in the first few years. It doesn’t sounds like rocket science, but it wasn’t taken for granted,” she said. “People just didn’t think of these things because there just weren’t enough women there to bring up these issues.” It is because of such challenges that she is one of the six recipients and the only Atlantic Canadian this year to win the Governor General’s Award in Commemoration of the Persons Case, which started in 1979. She is the thir-

Women’s Studies department and draw attention to the fact that we are here and under resourced.” One recent development that has proved important to Robbins is the Post Secondary Education Recommendations Report. For her, the biggest issue concerns gender, which she explains hasn’t been talked about nearly enough. The majority of degree recipients are women, and Saint John has more female students than UNBF, as Fredericton’s Engineering program is predominately male students, she explains. “The students who will be affected if they should close or radically alter UNBSJ will be women. The majority of students in polytechniques are overwhelmingly men because they are based largely on sciences and engineering programs, fields which are usually dominated by men. So there will be a disproportionate impact if UNBSJ closes and a polytechnic opens, that means there will be more opportunities that men will be given and benefit from,” said Robbins. “I’m not saying it should be that way; it is that way and I don’t know if they’re going to be allowed to do that, frankly.” She goes further to describe that one can’t take a disadvantaged group and further weaken them. For example women, in our society and in New Brunswick, can demonstrate a wage gap and a higher unemployment rate then men, which is something that shouldn’t be ignored, she explained.
Graham meets with Graham from Graham page 1 campus and the province, through research, funding, and critical mass. Without the Saint John campus, he says, UNB would lose its national comprehensive status. “We were encouraged by being there,” says Graham. “We’re still ready to lobby harder. We don’t feel that our questions were answered, as much as we felt that our voice was heard. But the answers to questions will come in time.
He says that to find those answers, it’s going to take continual strong work from student bodies and student organizations. “The important thing right now is to have your voice heard, and we’re going to be creating structures to have students speak to us and to the President easier, so that we can move forward together.” Dr. John McLaughlin, President of UNB, is currently part of an action group working to address the future needs of the New Brunswick PSE
system, in which Graham says that students’ views will have strong representation. “We’ve heard from the senior administrators that there is going to be a formalized process at which students can regularly contribute to the discussion to Dr. McLaughlin, and he plans on taking our voice to this working group so that student opinions are reflected in what needs to be a student-focused system.” In the meantime, Graham says that he will continue to focus on the issues for students.

Tibbits Hall participates in this yearly event for a few reasons. Most importantly is to help the Fredericton Food Bank, the reason behind the entire event. They feed approximately 649 families a month. In addition, Duguay points out that many of the girls living in Tibbits do not venture off campus very much, since the residence system acts like a full community for them. This event gives the girls an opportunity to get involved in the Fredericton community and to become familiar with the city where they will be spending their university years. In a change from previous years, the girls were placed in groups with other Tibbits Hall residents with whom they were not previously close. Tibbits Hall President Laura Houghton wants this event to act as a bonding experience for the House residents. Houghton’s goal for the event is to help the girls meet new people and become more involved in the residence lifestyle. Pushing carts will not be the only contribution that Tibbits Hall makes to the Fredericton Food Bank this year.
As in previous years, Tibbits will be having a Halloween Wet/Dry at the Social Club with proceeds going to the Food Bank. On top of these donations, the President and Vice President are planning even more events for this year. Last year, Tibbits filled the cargo van with donations and although Houghton points out that they are more concerned with food donations than money, this year she has set a House goal of $750 in addition to a larger food donation than last years. The President and Vice-President both feel the house can contribute more than what they have in the past. Houghton and Duguay have begun discussing another potential food drive for the second semester. They are both extremely enthusiastic about expanding Tibbits’ contribution to the Food Bank and the community. They are also setting up drop- off boxes for food donations on campus, as well as canvassing the other residences later this semester. If you are interested in donating, you can contact Sophie Duguay at P60E7@unb.ca.

Professor’s award is a dream come true teenth winner from New Brunswick and the fifth Frederictonian to receive the prestigious award. The award is given to candidates who have made outstanding contributions promoting gender equality in Canada and who demonstrate leadership and excellence in the field. “I knew that I was being nominated for the award but I never thought I would win, in fact I thought I was being short listed when I received a phone call, so I was prepared for that, then it turns out that was not the case.” She said. “It’s really a dream come true.” The Persons Case was a landmark victory for all subsequent Canadian women. Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Louise McKinney, and Irene Parlby were the ‘Famous 5’ who fought for women to be defined as persons under the law. Finally, on October 18, 1929, the Privy Council ruled that women were indeed “qualified persons.” The medal that each recipient receives is engraved with the Famous 5 and is presented to them by the Governor General herself. At the Women’s Centre, Robbins explains the title of her talk, ‘Let’s put the pedal to the metal’ as a metaphor of women driving forward for their rights and standing up for what they believe in. “If more spotlight is put on women’s studies and women’s issues, then maybe we can do more in terms of staffing for the Women’s Centre and even within the
route, where they will collect donations of non-perishable food items, household cleaners, personal hygiene products, and money. In preparation for the actual event, girls from Tibbits distribute flyers to over 850 addresses a week in advance. These flyers explain the campaign to the neighbourhoods’ residents. In past years, when the girls are canvassing, most people have a donation ready and waiting for them to pick up. Tibbits’ Vice President Sophie Duguay is responsible for organizing this yearly event and in preparation, she has organized the groups, the routes for each group, and secured the boxes and shopping carts to transport the food. Aside from that, she is working with Sodexho to have some refreshments for the girls when they get back from their routes on Saturday. Sobeys on Regent Street is generously donating both the boxes and shopping carts. Duguay will also be renting a cargo van to transport the girls and shopping carts to and from their individual routes.
Harrison House President Brian Koval says he is very proud to be part of this long standing tradition, but mentions that there is a lot of pressure. “It feels awesome, and it’s almost a burden on us to make sure it stays that kind of tradition. Otherwise,” says Koval, “we’ll lose it.” MacPhee shares similar views. “I think we’re under the most pressure. Not to put down anyone else, but nothing is like this spectacle. Everyone loves watching the other things, but nobody tells their kids about it.” Koval adds, “My uncle still asks every year when I go home for Thanksgiving, ‘so are you guys dropping a pumpkin off the roof this year?’ So it’s huge.” He comments on the status of the pumpkin to be used on the day of the Pumpkin Sacrifice. “We have a pumpkin lined up at an alternate location, and it won’t
be seen by anyone until the day of the sacrifice.” The actual weight of the pumpkin this year is believed to be between 350 and 400 lbs. The ceremony actually begins a week before the sacrifice itself. At 10 pm each night for an entire week before the sacrifice, the residents of Harrison House exit their residence and yell for one solid minute. After this, they re-enter Harrison House to the sound of what both Koval and MacPhee describe as “dead silence.” The pumpkin itself arrives early Wednesday morning. After that begins the long process of carving the pumpkin, which according to MacPhee will take approximately two to three hours. At 9:15 pm, the residents of Harrison House will start a procession around the university. At 10 pm sharp, the final blessing will be said and the pumpkin will fall to its demise, guaranteeing a successful academic harvest for the residents of Harrison House.

Hollow Candidates for All Hallows’ Eve Rousing the Rabbles by Nick Ouellette
Well folks the day is finally here—Halloween—and I’m sure that we’ve all been thinking about the great costumes we are going to wear tonight, but please, let’s pry ourselves away from the celebration of Pagan rituals for just a minute and take note of another event happening right now on campus. I’m willing to bet that few of us even know about it, but by-election season in the Student Union is upon us. Now I have to say, I have been waiting for this for months. Normally we would see candidates debate issues and put their reputations on the line as they bring policy platforms to students across campus. For those of us waiting for a federal election, this is as close it gets for now so we’ll have to make do. Last year the Union completely botched not one but two elections in different semesters. The results were thrown out altogether in the fall and the guy running the show in the winter term resigned amid questions of his competence, so we had to start it all over again. I know, it sounds pretty embarrassing for what should be the bastion of democratic exercise on campus—and it was. Actually, it was pathetic. The third time was a charm, though, and in March we finally saw a full slate of candidates get elected. Then last month the Union spent some time getting its act together in order to avoid the same kind of mess this year, because last year left a lot to be desired. Enter a few resignations by those elected last March, and suddenly this week’s byelection held great promise for those of

Take a look at last week’s Brunswickan—page 4 to be exact—and you’ll see what I mean. It’s the bi-annual SU candidates layout, and either eight of the ten candidates dressed up early as ghosts for Halloween, or they are simply too lazy. I’m going with the latter. First, let’s clear up something. The
Brunswickan allows candidates to have their picture taken and to submit a biography statement, both of which are published the week before voting opens. It provides candidates with an equal platform to get their name out in the community and tell voters a little bit about who they are and what they stand for. Of course, the only way this works is if the candidates actually take the time to make a stand by showing up for the photographer and writing
the biography statement. Apparently, only two of this week’s candidates were able to accomplish this. You have to wonder why, though, because the photographs were taken in the SUB at the centre of campus and the word limit for this year’s biography statements was just 75. I find it hard to believe that the eight “no show” candidates were too busy to take the 10 minutes needed to do what any respectable candidate should—say why
they are running. The “too busy” theory is just a little bit too farfetched, but if they really didn’t have the time, you have to question whether they have the time to commit to the Student Union. At the risk of repeating myself, I prefer the much more plausible theory: laziness. That might seem a little harsh, but stop and think for a minute. Sure, we could elect these people, fill the vacant seats on Council, and feel good about the fact that we have representation from all the different faculties and residence too. But how effective would that be when these candidates couldn’t be bothered to take advantage of a campaign tool that costs nothing and has the widest distribution on campus? Would they be just as absent in their duties as Councillors? Would the coordinators of Council meetings, who have real duties to attend to as executives of the Student Union, have to waste their time trying to track down these people to see if they could attend meetings only to discover that they are ultimately “no shows” again? I’m not convinced that the answer to either of those questions is no. In fact, I am much more convinced that none of these candidates should find support in the student population at UNB and that they each deserve a No vote. So when you log in to your e-Services elections portal this week, vote No to Marwa Fagir for Nursing rep. Don’t vote for either Nate Tremblay or Tom Walsh for CS rep. Avoid Stacey Clouston for Arts rep and Bryn Ferris for RC rep. In Law, vote No to Phillipe Shink. In Kinesiology, tick off the No box next to Kristina O’Brien’s name. And, if you live in residence, don’t vote for Taylor Elson in the Residence Liaison race. They may have gotten themselves on the ballot, but each of these candidates said No to telling you, through the Brunswickan, what they stand for. Without any real reason for doing so, should we simply roll over, acquiesce, and say Yes to any of them? Nick Ouellette has served on the UNB Student Union Council and the UNB Board of Governors, and now serves on the UNB Fredericton Senate and as an Assistant Don in UNB’s Residence Community.
This thanksgiving, Turkey might strike back! Top 100 Canadian Albums is by Kumaran Thillainadarajah
Dear Editor: Tensions in Northern Iraq grow, as its fowl feathered friends to the north, threaten to launch a preemptive strike on supposed terrorist elements in
Northern Iraq. Now sure, the supposed terrorist group in question is the PKK, (a well known group that both the European Union and U.S consider awful and terrible in everyway) and sure they have launched over 200 attacks in turkey, with casualties estimated at thirty seven thousand since 1984. But is that enough reason to invade the less then sovereign state of Iraq? It was quite the sensation when the Americans did it the first time, but now its just getting old and with rumors that Iran may be gazing rather creepily over
at its neighbors to the east. It’s about time that America, the moral authority on invading smaller nations, stepped in and put an end to this invading craze that is literally taking over the Middle East. The white house has made it clear to Turkey that it is not to lay a feather on the PKK in Iraq. This situation seems somewhat of a bit of a contradiction, considering this is the same American administration that invaded Iraq to fight the imminent terrorist threat on the U.S. This is also the same American administration that gave approval to Israel to use any force it deemed necessary to defend it self from neighboring regions that were deemed to be harboring terrorists. Who can forget Lebanon last summer; where thousands of civilians were killed and tens of thousands were left homeless, thanks to Israel and America’s approval. Anyone can see that these situations have nothing in common, except EVERYTHING. It should also be pointed out that the Bush Administration said any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime. And that since America is currently occupying Iraq. It is in effect playing host to the PKK in the north and should be considered a hostile regime and be prepared to be invaded by itself. Perhaps it’s about time that we put an end to these double standards on nations, and agree that’s what’s good for the goose is good for the gander or the turkey as the case may be. Let Turkey and Iran or any other nations interested in boosting energy revenues, I mean fighting terrorism to come on down to Iraq and duke it out in this nation that seemingly has not suffered enough already.
just fine without chart-toppers by Nicole Hunt the Charlatan (Carleton University)
OTTAWA (CUP) --The minute Bob Mersereau’s The Top 100 Canadian Albums hit bookshelves, arguments about what did or did not make the cut began. Some criticized the list as a stock playlist of rock radio stations. Others decried the ranking of Alanis Morisette’s Jagged Little Pill or Arcade Fire’s Funeral (ranked sixth and ninth, respectively), or whether it was necessary to have eight Neil Young albums in the top 50 (the answer is yes). Instead of bickering over whether Alanis deserves to be ahead of Rush, let’s celebrate something we can all agree on: the big Canadian musicians who weren’t even on this list. That’s right, nine-time Juno winners Nickelback are nowhere to be seen. And it’s not because the list only features old artists. True, 36 of the entries were released in the 1970s, but 24 are from the 1990s and 10 are from this decade. Arcade Fire, Feist, k.d. lang, k-os and The Sadies all made the list with 2004 releases, the same year Nickelback won Junos for Group of the Year and Fan’s Choice.
Why didn’t they make the list? According to the 600 journalists, DJs, musicians and retailers polled, they just haven’t produced a great album. And yet, their three major album releases along with their eight singles have all gone number one in Canada. While there are others, Nickelback is a perfect example of a Canadian band achieving domestic success because it has a major label pushing clichéd, accessible music that sounds like a safe choice for stations looking to meet their Canadian content requirements. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission requires 35 per cent of the music played between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. be Canadian. At about 12 songs an hour, that’s 50 Canadian songs per day. Most of the new artists featured in Mersereau’s book are not popular radio choices. Feist, The Joel Plaskett Emergency, The Weakerthans and Constantines all have dedicated fan bases in Canada, but are considered indie fare. By which I mean, your grandmother and your eightyear-old cousin probably haven’t heard of them. On the other hand, Canadian artists who have remained at the top of the charts, such as Céline Dion, Avril Lavigne, Nelly Furtado and of course, Nickelback are conspicuously absent. Is it possible the 600 people polled were all middle-aged white men who spend their days listening to Neil Young’s Harvest (the number one album) on repeat, and wouldn’t know good new music if it knocked over their bottle of Rogaine? It’s possible. Could it be that the thousands of Canadians who purchased a Simple Plan album have just failed to understand what good music is? Could be. But what’s more probable is the commission’s restrictions on the 35 per cent of what broadcasters get to air has forged the success of mediocre talents with little to offer besides vague teen angst and catchy melodies. And so, Mersereau’s biggest achievement isn’t having chosen the best Canadian album to put on the list, but having kept the regulated filler off of it.

A banner raising weekend for the men’s hockey team Reds defeat fourh and fifth ranked teams in the nation to remain undefeated
by Brad Conley
It was a banner weekend for the men’s hockey team this weekend, as they raised their CIS National Championship banner and then continued their undefeated season with wins against St. Mary’s and St. FX. “It was a great ceremony,” Athletics Director Kevin Dickie said. “It’s something players look forward to, winning a national championship and then coming back to celebrate. That’s what makes it special.” Dickie gave all the credit to the coach of the men’s team, Gardiner MacDougall, for the teams on and off ice success. “All the credit has to go to the Coach (MacDougall). He has just been great. He has these young men playing some great hockey, and at the same time, he has made sure that the players leave the university with not only a degree, but life skills. I think that is one of the most unique parts of this program.” Once the ceremony was done, and the banner raised, the team fed off the excitement and went out and played some great hockey in the first, and finally, with 1:47 left in the period, the Reds were able to muster up a power play goal, coming off the stick of Brad Efthimiou, putting them ahead going into the second period. Coach MacDougall was excited to see that the team had started out with such a good first period. “We had a decent start in the first, and that was a key power play goal for us. It gave us momentum as we went on.”

Reds team captain Dustin Friesen heads up ice to start another rush against Saint Mary’s. Friesen contributed one assist in UNB’s victory Friday night. The Reds are back in action Wednesday night against the St. Thomas Tommies. The Reds kept rolling from there, beginning the second period carrying the play. With 11:06 left in the period, all of the Reds hard work was finally paying off, when John Scott Dickson was able to put one past the St Mary’s
goaltender to go up 2-0. Not too long after, Hunter Tremblay put the Reds up by three, and netting his second point of the night. The rest of the period proved to be a special teams battle, with the Huskies going

Reds take fifth in final meet of season Submitted by Fonya Irvine
On Saturday, scattered rays of light broke through overshadowing clouds and highlighted the brightly attired runners in Point Pleasant Park. Amid a backdrop of leafless trees and gray skies, the runners prepared themselves for one of the most important races of the season: the AUS Cross-Country Championships. The women were up first for the 5kms race, and as they filed into their team’s respective boxes it was hard not to feel the rising anticipation. The start was a colourful blur of runners sprinting for a spot near the front. The first of two laps was led by UNB’s multi-sport athlete Jessica Steed (she’s also a member of the women’s basketball team) but
soon it was Kathy Wilson leading the charge. “After the first lap I was exhausted and wondered how I could do another, then I thought about the training, the team, and what an experience being part of it all has been, that changed my focus and allowed me to push to the finish,” said Wilson. “It was my last cross country race and I finished with a personal best, as did many other women on the team. That’s what it is all about, working together.” Wilson placed 25th overall with an impressive 20:13 finish. Up next for UNB was Jessica Steed in 27th (20:27), followed by Co-Captain Fonya Irvine in 28th (20:40), Co-Captain Erin Cochrane in 31st (21:03), Heather Bray in 35th (21:28), Kari Pettinger in 44th (22:32), and Gillian Reid in 47th (24:06), putting the women in sixth place overall for the women’s 5kms race. The men charged forward in the 10kms with UNB’s Co-Captain Shawn
Miller in eighth place for the first of four laps. Miller tried to hold his place but he started out too strong saying that “the first lap felt great and I was pumped to be up in the top eight but knew I had to slow it down a bit so I could finish the race.” He finished in 23rd place with a respectable time of 36:28. Miller added, “I never thought I would be running in AUS and coming in the place I came. Now I can’t wait until next year to turn some more heads.” Not far behind was Cliff WordenRogers in 25th (36:52), followed by Co-Captain Derek Ferguson in 26th (37:21), Dave Brown in 29th (38:35), Micheal Bone in 31st (38:51), Peter Gaudet in 33rd (39:46), and Simon Pearn in 36th (41:55), placing the men in fifth place in the day. The 2007 season has come to a close and the UNB team has another year of preparation. With highly motivated individuals and fierce determination (they don’t believe in trying, they only believe in doing), there is no limit to this team’s potential.
on the power play five times, including a late double minor for spearing going to Denny Johnston and an eventual five on three. The five on three carried over to the third, and finally St. Mary’s were able to get on the board when Dan Rudisuela was able to put one past UNB netminder Michael Ouzas during a scramble in front of the UNB net. The rest of the game turned out to be a fairly chippy one, but that didn’t scare the Reds, who had four third period penalties, one being a co-incidental for a skirmish that happened after the whistle had blown. Hunter Tremblay, who had one goal and an assist in the game, chimed in on the team’s effort. “It was our home opener tonight, and they raised the banner for the guys out here last year and we took a lot of pride in that. We came out and played well and I thought we kind of took it to them all game, we got some good results.” The Reds carried their momentum into Saturday night’s game against the

Strong crop of returning veterans should make Reds a contender in the AUS
by Mitchell Bernard
The season is now underway for the 2007-08 UNB women’s volleyball team. Coming off an impressive season last year, the women will be setting the bar one step higher as they will host the CIS Women’s Volleyball Championships from February 29 to March 1, 2008. The Reds will be sporting a similar line-up as last year with a few new additions. Middle Robin Dyer is no longer with the team but in her place are two new middle players. Barb Vriends, who trained with the Reds last season, will be making her season play debut this year. Also Tanya Paulin, a member of the NBIAA ‘AAA’ high school champions from École secondaire Népisiguit, will be joining the squad for her first season at the
Reds lineup; an AUS all-star last season, Erica Hay will look to have a strong year on the left side as she returns for her third season; Christina Ross, a fourth year all-star out of Calgary will be making her return to the line-up as well. The Reds will sport only three rookies in their line-up (Tanya Paulin, Asia Leavins, and Alyson Clow), giving the Reds an experienced squad for the 2007-08 season. Having a number of players with experience will give the Reds the leadership on the court they need to compete with the top teams in Canada. Rounding out the Reds roster is second year player Candace Cuncannon of Calgary, AB. She is listed as a 6’0’’ middle player. Jena Fox, a Fredericton native, will be in her final year of eligibility, while Jessie Yeates of Fredericton will play in her fourth season. Yeates and Fox will both be looked upon to provide strong defence from the Libero position. Richard noted that all players will contribute to the team and thus will be critical to the team’s success. The Reds posted an impressive record in the 2006-07 season, including an 8-1 home record, while sporting a perfect 8-0 record on the road (excluding the Interlock Tournament). They were dominant in both home and away games and Coach Richard realizes this is a key

After losing by a 5-2 score to St. FX on Saturday afternoon, Sarah Belmore scored a hat trick en route to a 5-3 Reds win over Dal on Sunday
Women’s V-Ball sport strong roster university level. “The addition of both Barb and Tanya give our team a totally new look. Having a 6’3” and a 6’2” down the middle will definitely help out a lot,” noted Coach John Richard, who is back for this ninth season as head coach of the Reds. The Reds will have five players who have previously won AUS Conference awards in their line-up this season. “With a healthy line-up we will have a team to compete with. This will give us seven to nine girls who can play and give us many different options,” added Richard. Melanie Doucette is back for her fourth season. She is a three-time AUS Conference all-star. A dominant player in the AUS Conference, she will be looked upon to provide leadership and to continue the success she has posted in her previous three seasons. Two-time conference all-star Heidi Mouris of Moncton, NB is playing her final year of eligibility and is slated to be a left-side player who will be one of two players who are in their final season of eligibility. Other notable returning players include Jill Blanchard, 2006-07 AUS Conference Rookie of the Year, is back for her second year and she will be looking to make an impact once again in the
St. FX. X-Men. Although the Reds gave up a goal just 2:15 into the first, they came back with a quick one timer by Nathan O’Nabigon to beat X’s goaltender Danny Battochio, just over a minute later. From there, the Reds kept pouring it on with Alex Aldred walking by Battatchio and putting it upstairs just a minute and a half later. The Reds seemed to get stronger after that, with Sean Donovan sliding a pass over to Jeff Caron who took a one timed it into the net to score UNB’s third goal in just under five minutes. St. FX. started to come on during the last five minutes of the period, but was stopped by Michael Ouzas, although eventually St. FX’s hard work paid off, when Chris Hulit scored on the power play. This outburst from St. FX. did not scare off the Reds, who continued to battle and took back the momentum just over a minute into the second period when Hunter Tremblay took a backhanded pass from Rob Hennigar and put it past Battochio for the Reds fourth goal of the game. Not even a minute later Nathan O’Nabigon scored his second goal of the night and the last goal for the Reds was scored by John Scott Dickson with just over two minutes left. Special teams seemed to play a big role for the Reds, killing off six of seven penalties and capitalizing on two of seven power plays, and Coach MacDougall recognized this. “The penalty kill is such a key for the team… if anything we want to cut down the penalties, but I thought all our killers, both goaltenders have been outstanding,” he said. “Power play-wise, we have a couple units that really move the puck around well. I think that if we get those opportunities, it will become a large part of our success this year.” Nathan O’Nabigon, who scored two goals on Saturday, seemed to think that the home crowd also helped the Reds over the weekend. “We like playing in front of our fans, and they get into it and it definitely turns into an advantage. We would like to have a good home record so other teams are scared to come here and play.” The Varsity Reds men’s hockey team plays next on Wednesday, October 31, at the Lady Beaverbrook Arena at 7 pm.

to success. “Being able to win on the road is huge,” noted Richard. The Varsity Reds will be hosting the CIS Championships this year, which will give them an automatic birth in the championships, but Coach Richard is still not taking the season lightly. “Knowing that we are already in the championships will alleviate some of the pressure, but we still want to earn our way into the tournament,” added Richard. He realizes this is a big year for his team and with an intense schedule, the modest Richard notes that winning will not come easy and they must continue to play hard to compete in the league. With UNB slated to host the CIS Championships in 2009 as well, the future prospects of the Reds are positive as the team will lose only two players due to eligibility next season, which will give them yet another strong veteran roster to compete for the title. The Varsity Reds opened their season on the road this past weekend with games in Saint Mary’s and Acadia. Other notable games in the Reds schedule include their home opener on November 2 against St. FX, an Interlock Tournament hosted by UdeM at the end of November, the Ottawa Invitational in early 2008, and the AUS Championships at St. FX on February 22-24, 2008.

V-Reds Athletes of the week
Amanda Sharpe Basketball BSc Kin II Fredericton, NB
Vince Cormier Wrestling BSc Kin II Robertville, NB
Fourth year 5’11” post Kathleen Singh, a Fredericton native, is gearing up for what might be her final season with the Varsity Reds women’s basketball team. In her first three years wearing red and black Singh has racked up an impressive inventory of awards and accomplishments that would be envied by any varsity athlete. During her rookie season with the Reds she was named a second team AUS All-Star as well as the AUS Rookie of the Year. That same season, the CIS selected Singh as a member of their All-Rookie team, while the Athletics Board here at UNB also showed her some love naming her the UNB female Rookie of the Year. In her junior year she was again chosen as an AUS second team All-Star and received perhaps her most coveted prize as she was selected as an Academic All-Canadian for the season. This distinction honors University athletes who uphold a 3.5 GPA while simultaneously contributing to a Varsity squad. Throughout her extensive basketball career, Singh has confronted some daunting challenges that, for most players, would be almost impossible to overcome. Singh has torn her ACL in both her left and right knees, first while playing basketball for Fredericton High School, and her second tear came during the off-season between her freshman and sophomore year of University eligibility. This type of injury is extremely serious and could easily have spelled the end of her days as a basketball player but she battled back through the injury to reclaim her spot as a top UNB starter. The Reds Head Coach, Jeff Speedy, describes Singh’s determination and perseverance, “The fact that she could bounce back from such an injury that could normally end a university athlete’s sporting career really speaks a lot to her character…it speaks a lot to how tough of a person she is both mentally and physically.” Both Speedy and Singh agree that the one aspect of her game that could use the
most work is her defensive play. “She has very good post moves and a good ability to score inside, she is also a very good outside shooter who can score off a dribble,” says Speedy. “I would like to see her improve her defensive game, specifically her rebounding… Our goal is to have her averaging 7 to 10 rebounds a game, which I am confident is going to happen because she has been working extremely hard at this in practice.” Singh agrees with her coach and has made it her mission to become a much more defense-oriented player this season. As a way to gauge her defensive success she sets personal goals before each practice and game to determine, for example, how many rebounds she wants to grab. “If I don’t reach my goal I look back and ask myself why not, and if I do reach my goal I reflect on my play and try to find out what it is I did differently.” Speedy describes Singh as a versatile player with great leadership skills. “There is no question that she is one of our leaders in terms of her production both on the court as a dominant competitor and off the court with our young ladies who have just recently joined the team… Her teammates respect her because of how intelligent of a player she is.” When it comes to leadership and support, Singh welcomes the chance to act as a pillar for her younger teammates. “It feels great to get to help our rookie players showing them what to expect on the court, giving constructive criticism, and most importantly encouraging them to work hard and stay motivated.” Singh, who will be graduating this season with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, is still unsure whether or not her post-University life will involve more basketball. “I am not sure what I will be doing next year, it’s a long ways away and definitely still up in the air…a lot can change, but for now I want to really focus on this season of basketball and reaching not only my own personal goals but our collective goals as well.” Coach Speedy is confident that Singh’s motivation and work ethic will lead her to much success no matter what she decides she wants to do. “Whatever she decides to do she will be fabulous at it, whether it be a future in basketball, med school or any other career she decides to pursue.”

The Varsity Reds continued dominance and do athletes deserve their enormous contracts? View From the Sidelines by Tony von Richter
Last week, as most of the attention on the baseball world was focused on the World Series between the Boston Red Sox and Colorado Rockies, one thing that seemingly slipped under the radar was the rumored contract offer that the New York Yankees were preparing for all-star third baseman Alex Rodriguez. Rumour had it that he would receive $30M a year for five years, which is on top of the $27M per season that he was set to make over the next three seasons (of course A-Rod never received the offer, since he opted out of his contract and is now a free agent). This is unbelievable. $150M over five years to play baseball, when most people could work for 150 years and never make that much money… Does he deserve it, though? Does Alex Rodriguez, or any athlete for that matter, deserve that much money to play a game? Yes they do. Now I know what some of you are
thinking: “But what about teachers and doctors, firemen and police officers, the military, why don’t they get paid millions of dollars? Their jobs are much more important than any athlete’s.” That’s true. I completely agree that all those professions and others should be paid vastly more than they are, and in an ideal world they would be. However, this isn’t an ideal world, and in this world, sports generate so much revenue for the various teams and leagues (unless you’re the Nashville Predators) that the players deserve their fair share of that revenue, which translates into these enormous contracts. Realistically it’s all based on supply and demand, because even though most of us agree that it’s ridiculous to pay someone untold millions of dollars to play a sport, if we as fans decide to pay the hundreds of dollars for tickets every game, than how can we blame the players for wanting their portion of that money? If your employer began to experience increased profits, wouldn’t you want to receive part of that since your hard work helped to earn those profits? So why should we begrudge athletes for doing the same thing that most of us would do? Of course, some people feel that the constant talk of money has ruined professional sports, turning athletes from honourable hometown heroes into emotionless mercenaries who care nothing for the team they’re with or the city they represent. While I don’t agree with that sentiment, to those people I have one piece of advice: Watch college sports instead.
The games are just as exciting as those played on a professional level, are much cheaper to attend, and fans don’t have to worry about a contract holdout or a lockout affecting their team’s season. This past weekend we had a couple of excellent games at the Aitken Centre, as the Varsity Reds men’s hockey team defeated the Saint Mary’s Huskies and the St. Francis Xavier X-Men who were ranked fourth and fifth in the country, respectively. I’m not going to get into a detailed breakdown of the two games, for a full report on the weekend’s action check out Brad Conley’s report on the previous page, but the thing that stuck out to me about the Reds’ play was their combination of skill and work ethic. The Reds are such a highly skilled team that they could easily sit back and rely on skill alone to win the majority of their games and simply outclass their opponents. However, rather than just sit back and take the easy route, the Reds are a team full of character, blocking shots, winning the battles for the puck in the corners and along the boards, and never stopping until the final whistle, even if they have an insurmountable lead. That’s what makes this year’s team so dangerous. Because even if the Reds face off against a more skilled opponent, no team can match their combination of talent and work ethic, and if the team continues to play as it has, so far there’s a good chance that we’ll see another championship banner raised to the rafters of the Aitken Centre in a year’s time.

Liquid inspiration and a whole can of Worms entire career.
The Ontario-based Arrogant Worms make their way to The Playhouse
by Bruns Arts Department
Brunswickan: So tell me what it’s like being an Arrogant Worm. Did you ever expect this? Chris Patterson: This is crazy. It’s one of those things that you never, ever anticipate will go beyond a hobby, at first, and maybe you get a couple years out of it and go get a real job, but this turned into a real job. Every year gets a bit better, and we’ve cut back on the touring, which is nice, because we’ve somehow all been able to find lives outside of this, and we’ve been touring a lot more in the U.S. and internationally a couple times, England once and Australia twice, so it’s just one of those things that keeps on going and it still remains fun…we just keep on trucking. B: How did it all start? C: It started as a four-piece, just on campus radio, like comedy sketches and a couple of songs, just to fill content, and then a live show was sort of born out of that, and then eventually the sketches were dropped, mostly because of the venues – bars aren’t good for sketch comedy…especially when people aren’t listening, which they weren’t. We did some street festivals, busker festivals, things like that. There was a big one in Kingston where a group got some local notice, then Edmonton, and Halifax, and then eventually, the folk festivals sort of came knocking, although we may have gone knocking on their doors – that’s how it worked. And we sort of found our place in the folk world, because we’re just alternative enough to be interesting. It’s been a slow and steady rise. We haven’t had to worry about overnight success, certainly, which can do a lot of bands in…if they have a big success and can’t necessarily follow it, that happens to everybody. I think something like one percent of bands can sustain a level their
B: So why sketch comedy? C: It was mostly an interest. At one point or another, we were all involved in Queen’s Players at Queens, and it was like comedy, cabaret shows put on at a bar, written and directed and performed by students who were almost just as inebriated as the patrons. The Worms started as an offshoot as that… We needed the music to spice up a standard sketch show, because everyone had experience with music and a little bit with writing, and Mike knew how to play the guitar…it just seemed to be, “oh, I have this, let’s throw this in there and see if it works’, and eventually it was the music that worked the best.” B: What about the name? C: (Laughs) It was discovered at the bottom of a pitcher of beer. It was Trevor and a friend through some liquid inspiration came up with that…they had a list of adjectives and nouns and crossed things off. At the time in Kingston, a lot of bands were The Adjective Nouns. The name kind of stuck. B: Okay, so tell me – why satire? C: There weren’t that many people doing it, for one. There were plenty of rock bands out there who were mopey and such. The group started at the height of the grunge stuff and everything else was just very…angry, and pissed off and sour and stuff like that, and this was kind of a way, a bit of an antidote to that. And everyone just has an interest in comedy… There’s a need in the world for people to laugh at how dumb things are. Hopefully we kind of provide a vehicle for that. B: And you’re very patriotic. C: We are, we are. And it’s fun to be from Canada when you’re abroad and people sort of, you get an idea of what people know about Canada and it’s not very much. They’re extremely uninformed. There’s the other sort of adage that you write what you know, and Canada is what we know, and how we relate to being Canadians. [Laughs] And it’s a good way to get a Canada Day gig, if you have a whole canon of Canadian tunes…those songs are guaranteed a play on a CBC station somewhere. B: You also have a lot of animal songs…
Internet
The Arrogant Worms, a Canadian comedy troupe with hit such as “Carrot Juice is Murder” and “Canada Is Really Big”, bring their musical act to the Playhouse on Nov 2. C: Sometimes we realize, “oh, wow, we do seem to have a lot of animal songs,” and there’s a new one I’ve been working on about a talking cat, and I sort of realized as I was working on it, I realized this was one of quite a few animal songs. For a while we were worried we were only writing about ailments and afflictions, and animals, and sports. I guess it’s kind of typical that way, in that we get one theme in our head and run with it until it’s dead. Or beyond. B: So, are you all vegetarians? C: It’s certainly been a consideration, but for now, anyway, I’ll continue to find the plus side of eating animals. ‘Carrot Juice is Murder’ has been a fun song, and our first sort of international success, with the ‘Dr. Demento’ show in the U.S., the radio show. They really grabbed onto that song, and it meant we got some national play in the U.S.…a lot of people discovered us in the U.S. because of that song. That was 12 or 13 years ago.
B: Where did it come from? C: There was graffiti on a wall in Vancouver that said ‘Free the Vegetables, Carrot Juice is Murder’…and it was spray painted on a wall, and we thought it was ridiculous enough to try to build a song around that. It was just one of those random things that, if you had taken it a different way, you might not have seen it and the song might not have been written. B: And do you believe in fate? C: I think so. For an independent music act, you have to believe in almost anything to survive, and if fate is that, then that certainly works. And some things just seem kind of meant to be, and just like we said this would never last, it has, and maybe that was meant to be. Our career has certainly been built on a bit of luck, but a great deal of hard work as well. But it’s getting yourself into position for the luck to happen to you… B: You guys have also been in some textbooks. What’s that like?
C: We’ve been in a couple textbooks – there’s a science textbook now and I think there’s a geography one, as well. The first one was an Ontario English language arts textbook, and it was our ‘Last Saskatchewan Pirate’ song, and they were breaking it down as poetry and that sort of stuff, which was odd. And we get letters from teachers all the time who use their songs in their lesson plans. It’s kind of funny, because it could be a song you wrote in half a day or less and now it’s forming young minds, which was never the plan, but it’s certainly a nice byproduct and introduces a whole new generation to our stuff…and they come out to the shows. B: Have you noticed a change in the audience since you started? C: Our audience is getting younger. When we first started, it was primarily like CBC listeners, like a little bit older. And they realized they could bring their kids, because we’re not dirty or anything like that. Little kids like us because we’re three grown-ups acting foolish
and jumping around and singing dumb songs….there is a break in the teen years, where they discover something else that’s way cooler than us, but then they come back to us in their early ’20s. It’s a bizarre thing to watch…watching kids grow up. You recognize faces when you keep going back to places more than once. Some kids brought by their parents at five or six, and now they’re booking the show, running the place. B: So what’s your personal favorite song? C: I’ve always been a big fan of our song, ‘Big Fat Road Manager’, it’s very operatic and sort of bombastic, and vocally it’s a challenge for all of us to sing it. When it goes well it goes great. It’s a ‘sum of the parts’ kind of song, where if one part was missing it would sound a little bit weird, but when it works it works great…we don’t do that song in every show, because it is a little bit hard to sing, and as we get older some of the notes disappear…it’s one of the more satisfying ones for me.
Bring out the popcorn; it’s fright-night Lion-tamers, Romans by Mick Carpenter
10) ‘Night of the Demons’. In the ultimate ‘Halloween party gone wrong’ movie, this ‘80s classic is a trick-or-treat bag filled with demonic possession, a haunted funeral home, and plenty of blood and gore. It’s the perfect Halloween movie for those who can appreciate classic ‘80s cheese. 9) ‘The Shining’. This one is Stephen King’s classic journey into insanity. It is one of the few movies that relies on the true elements of horror without any in-your-face effects or high body counts. The ghosts of the twin girls alone are enough to give you the creeps. 8) Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’. I know what you’re thinking: Thriller isn’t a movie! But no Halloween would be complete without at least one viewing of this 16 minute classic. 7) ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’. What can I say about this movie that you don’t already know? With one of the most famous horror icons ever, this classic has been causing insomnia for over 20 years.
Internet
The Amityville Horror is the number two Halloween movie, according to this Bruns writer - either the old or the new version. 6) ‘Gingersnaps’. An often overlooked Canadian classic, this is one of the best werewolf movies of our time. 5) ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ (2003 remake). Although I’m not a big fan of the remake craze that has plagued theaters for the past few years, this one does manage to hold its own. Without straying too far from the original, producer Michael Bay breathes new life into the series with one scary-ass movie that will, like the 1974 version, become a must- have at all Halloween parties for a new generation. 4) ‘Night of the Living Dead’. Like
the zombies that roam the earth, this movie will never die. Released nearly 40 years ago, this is the one that started it all. Although it has spawned hundreds of brain-eating imitators and unofficial sequels, this classic still stands out above the rest. 3) ‘The Exorcist’. Yes, that’s right, ‘The Exorcist’ didn’t make number one on the list. However, with classic scenes like the backwards crabwalk down the stairs, the 360 degree head turn, and the disturbing scene in which she...uh... goes crazy with the crucifix, this movie will leave an everlasting impression on
anyone who watches it. And just think, this too was based on a true story... 2) ‘The Amityville Horror’. This was a hard decision. I couldn’t choose whether I should give this spot to the original Amityville Horror or the 2005 remake, so both get it! Based on a true story, ‘The Amityville Horror’ takes you into the most famous haunted house in the world. While the original still stands as a genuinely scary movie, the remake took it to a whole new level. If you’re looking for a classic ghost story and prefer the ‘old school’ horror movies, I recommend the original. However, if you prefer a more in-your-face ghost story, with a bit more blood and plenty of those ‘make you jump out your seat and spill your popcorn’ moments, then the remake is what you’re looking for. Either way, make sure you watch at least one version of it this Halloween. 1) ‘Halloween’ (1978 original). Although Rob Zombie nearly ruined the series with his disappointing remake/prequel, everyone can still redeem themselves by watching the movie that set the standard for all Halloween flicks. Halloween night, jack-o-lanterns, premarital sex, one of the scariest killers of all time, and one big ass knife…what more could you ask for?
and Ross, oh my! from Costume page 1 working on dresses for an upcoming wedding – she’s designing all the dresses, excluding that of the bride. Other ideas, which NBCCD fashion students have been working on for costumes, include a Musketeer, Roman solider, and a Diana Ross costume. All are ideas of the fashion students themselves, which are then created through sketches, fittings, and hard work. A few of the students were currently in the fitting process while I was at the school. Wilson explained to me how the process of sketching a design to the final garment is produced. In the early stages of design, a student will cut out a rough paper draft of what the garment should look like. It’s then put on a model to see if it hangs and fits properly. If so, then the student will proceed to make a card pattern. Finally, with the help of a teacher, the students will produce the finished garment from fabric. For those people who may not be as artistic or crafty enough to put together such a sophisticated costume, Wilson has ideas for you.
“Fabricville has a variety of Halloween patterns available, or even just going to Value Village or a Wal-Mart and buying a piece that you can paint on or cut up,” she says. These are great alternatives for students who have strict budgets but still want to stand out on the night of horror. For those of you interested in seeing what the fashion school is all about, NBCCD will be hosting a craft show from November 29 to December 1 at the school on Queen Street. Also, at the end of the school year, the fashion students will host their annual fashion show at the Delta, a hyper-popular event that sells out every year and leaves people scrambling to find parking or seats. So this Halloween, if you see any well-crafted costumes, think of the time spent designing and creating it, from the inception of the original idea to the buying of fabric to fitting to the little odds and ends that make every costume special. Maybe this trip to the school will encourage me to put a little more work into my own annual costume. Well. Maybe I’ll start that next year.

Quite the novel “From pedagogy to CD peddling” proposition DJ Loc Dog and Mick D play “Flava in Your Air” every Wednesday night at 9:30 on 97.9 CHSR.
by Ashley Bursey
She wrote her first novel in a month, and this year, Susan Douglas is encouraging her son and everyone else in New Brunswick to do the same. She found out about National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWiMo in its inner circles, a few years ago, in December, a few days after the month officially ended. It gave her a year to think about her first novel, a fictional account of life in Fredericton. “I always had these stories running around in my head. I was always telling myself, “some day I’ll write it down, write a novel,” she says. “And then someday never happened, so I was scouring the bookstores and found out about [National Novel Writing Month]. “The nice thing about it is, because you’re not alone, there are all sorts of other people [writing, too]. You can go in the chat rooms and the forums, and there are other people dealing with the same problems you are, or people cheering you on. It’s not like I expect to be a great writer someday. The point was to get something done. Like, ‘hey, I wrote a book’.” For Douglas, the novel was a bit of a stray from her normal job: she’s a web applications developer with a bit of an artsy side, and that’s where the written word comes in. And now, she’s the municipal liaison for the program, helping New Brunswickers everywhere to reach their word count – not always an easy task. “You have to set out to write every day. If you let it slide one day, or two days, you’re like 4,000 words behind,” she says. “It’s getting that discipline to sit down and write. You have to get the idea that it doesn’t have to be good…it just has to be done. You could write really schlock-y stuff with spelling mistakes…I have a friend who is dyslexic who’s going to try it, [because] it doesn’t matter if it’s not spelled right, as long as you have the right number of words.” The novel will have to run about 50,000 words, “about ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ kind of length,” she says. “It’s not a long novel…I think my first

The cover of Douglas’ first novel, ‘Freaks in Fredericton’. book is 168 pages. But you only have to do 1,667 words per day, and the average person can do that in about two hours.” Sounds like a lot right now, but one of the local participants last year actually doubled the 50,000 word minimum. “One lady last year just ranted…because she could just get out all of these feelings that she had pent up in her, a catharsis. For her, it was more of a personal journey. For me, I have all these stories rattling around and I want to get them out.” And her son, who’s beginning to take after his mother, will also be joining the club at the end of November. “He’s not going to go for the whole 50,000 words; he’s going for 5,000,” she says. “[He’s doing it] mostly because I keep writing, and he says, ‘why don’t you do this or that?’ And I say, why don’t you write your own story? “There’s a young writers program, for middle and high school students. That’s something I’m going to try to get into the schools next year, do it as a class activity. My son is getting excited about it. He’s going to write fan fiction... My son is a voracious reader, and I just introduced him to this five-novel series, and he read it in a week. So now he wants to write something that takes place in the same place, but with different people. He’s got lots of high-action stories, where everybody blows everybody else up, and they go on quests to find things, whereas I’m more a fluffy fairytales kind of person.” The official launch date of National Novel Writing Month will be on Nov 1. Douglas is hosting a Halloween/writing party on October 31. For more information, you can drop her a line at susan@ thecatsweb.com.
Well, it’s my last semester at UNB, and it finally seems fitting to write an article for the Brunswickan. It’s been an interesting few years; I first came here in 2003 after transferring from St. Mary’s University in Halifax. My initial plan was to do four more years, finish the Education Program, and be on my way. I guess plans change! My very first night in the city I went down to a hip-hop night I had heard about at the Capital. As a hip-hop DJ and all-around rap junkie, there was no way I wasn’t checking this out. To my amazement, there were some talented MCs and DJs in the building; a very impressive first night. I got the chance to meet some of Fredericton’s veteran hip-hoppers like STV, Apostrophe, Monark, Scout,
and many more people. My time in Fredericton quickly changed from pedagogy to peddling CDs. Between living in Toronto and traveling through Thailand and Cambodia, I always came back to Fredericton and the hip-hop scene here that has been so much for me the last 5 years. My years in Fredericton have been filled with shows, albums, recording, tours, photo shoots, and all sorts of other general wackiness, aside from the mundane essays, lectures, and midterms. There are a few people in particular who help hold the scene in Fredericton together while contributing to campus life. First off, a big shout-out to the main man: DJ STV. He’s the OG of this city and sometimes he doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Steve has had the longest running hip-hop campus radio show – on CHSR – in all of Canada. It started in the early ’90s, and he has held down shows and local MCs as a part of the Ill Logic Crew for years now. The University has seen many of New Brunswick’s most talented and successful artists pass through its doors. A Brunswickan alumnus, Pimp Tea, has just released a new CD under the alias Brockway Biggs. Pimp Tea gets an extra shout-out for getting me as close to Cindy Day as I have ever been able to make it. We got to do Global Noon with Mickey D and Bonshah, but alas, Cindy was out (or hiding) that day. The next month, Pimp tea would go on to win the ECMA for Urban Recording of the Year while subsequently networking with the likes of Rita McNeil, Dutch

Loc will be releasing a mixtape album, ‘Don’t Be a Menace’, in coming weeks. Robinson and George Canyon. That same year, UNB student Mickey D was nominated with Pimp Tea for an award. Many people may know Mick as part of the rap and club scene in Fredericton for years now. Mick and I can be heard on CHSR every Wednesday night
from 9:30-11 p.m. A STU alumnus who has achieved as much success as anyone in New Brunswick over the past five years is Sean One. His new vinyl and CD, ‘Full of It’, are charting nationally on Earshot and Chart Attack, reaching #1 and #2 respectively. He has previous ECMA nominations under his belt. With his group First Words and their new LP about to drop, Sean One’s poised to become a fixture on the Canadian hiphop scene. Other Fredericton heads that deserve a big shout go to Apostrophe, Monark, Baby Grande, DJ Scout, Mixx D, Bonshah, DNA, Jed Nice, Mikill, LJ, Battle Dudes, Saa Andrew, Juliano, and Sole and Ceeb, who just released his debut album. As my time here draws to a close, I have many memories to reflect on, from UNB, the city, and the people here. Unlike many people who attend schools or travel frequently, I feel blessed to be able capture my experiences through my music. Fredericton will forever be an experience I can never recreate and for that I am thankful. To anyone starting their university years reading this, make sure you embrace your time here and experience whatever opportunities the city and university presents to you. Wednesdays at the Capital, Styles of Beyond, Atmosphere, rap battles and 40s and 9s will always outweigh my memories of eating pizza in the SUB or writing essays on gender roles among serfs in imperialist Russia.
Water pistols and silverware The Final Score by Dan Hagerman
Zombies Ate My Neighbours (SNES) Due to overwhelming demand, I’ve decided to load up a copy of ‘Zombies Ate My Neighbours’ for this Halloween. Why I haven’t before now is, quite frankly, beyond me, because this game is awesome. You play as either a spikyhaired boy wearing 3D-glasses, or a girl
with a baseball cap and shorts. Clearly, these fashionably-disinclined teens are the world’s only hope against all sorts of horror movie-inspired creatures, from the titular zombies, to mask-wearing psychopaths, to football players. Yes, football players are enemies in the game; don’t ask me why. Graphics: The graphics are done in a cartoon-based style that sets the mood for the entire game: light-hearted and funny. The levels reference a whole lot of horror movies, most notably George Romero’s ‘Dead’ series. The game was rated ‘E’ for ‘Everyone’ by the ESRB, so you clearly aren’t going to see anything in the way of realistic mutilated corpses or anything, which would likely take away from the appeal of the game. Gameplay: Easy at first, not so easy
later. Your goal is to save as many people from the monsters as possible by walking into them. This makes the people disappear to… somewhere, the game isn’t really clear on that. But standing in between you and the people you need to save are monsters, lots of monsters. Initially, you’re only armed with a water pistol. Despite having such a weak weapon, you’ll make quick work of the enemies from the first few levels, because the zombies will explode into flames on contact with water. You’ll eventually find all sorts of different weapons to take out your enemies with, as they’re scattered throughout the various levels. Having different weapons for different situations is handy, such as when you use silverware against werewolves.
Monsters get tougher to beat later on, but thankfully, the game supports a two-player co-op mode so you can tackle the undead together. The only problem you’ll have is arguing over who gets to play as the kid with the wicked 3D glasses. Sound: The game certainly has its fair share of spooky voice samples, but the real draw here is the catchy music. The SNES version’s music instruments aren’t the clearest, but you’ll still be nodding your head to the beat as you’re disintegrating zombies with bazookas. The Final Score: A fun, Halloween-based game that has two-player support and doesn’t look like garbage? Sa-weeeet! Make sure to keep your water pistols on you in case of zombie attacks. 10 out of 10 Living Dead.

Silkscreening and Not just for nachos anymore potatoes - it’s ArtZone by Ashley Bursey
It’s the International Year of the Potato, and for Lori Morse, that means art. Morse is the head of ArtZone, a UNB/STU art collective based out of Memorial Hall. Eleven years in the making, the collective affords students an open, well-lit workspace in the building, as well as regular workshops and the chance for collaboration and shared creativity. And the potato thing? “The most interesting and fun goal we have is, at the end of the school year, the Director has put aside a space in each gallery [in Memorial Hall] for exhibition,” she says. “So this year we’re doing a collective project, and we’re going to meet on that soon…It’s more a conceptual piece. “I want to focus on [the potato], brainstorm, research – I want the idea to grow. Present that idea to the group [as] an interactive concept or a statement, whatever we want to do.” She’s not kidding: ArtZone flyers around campus have a real-life Mister Potato Head, featuring a fresh spud and some cartoon-y plastic facial features. But it’s not just about potential
French fries. Morse says the workspace in Memorial Hall is a benefit for students from both campuses, and one in which most have yet to take advantage. “There is a spirit, I think, that adds to the universities, and it’s an exploration of expressing yourself, really,” says Morse, who studied photography at NBCCD. “And I use the word outlet, but it’s more of a discovery of your creative talents, or what your creative skills are. “Maybe it’s not necessarily creating a beautiful painting…It’s about using your brain…it builds confidence, also…if they would just kind of explore that, they would be pleasantly surprised, and their confidence would rise. And it helps in other areas of your life, like schoolwork, even. It’s just kind of a reprieve. It’s just a place to let go and explore.” Recent years included exhibitions with musical elements, as well as individual projects. But this year, the potential potato piece will be a little different. Morse hopes it will be a collective, conceptual project. And the monthly workshops are a huge bonus for the group. Upcoming events include watercolor with Marilyn Mazerole on November 17, and felting with white feather on December 8, as well as a whole list of events in the new year, including pottery, book binding, and silkscreen printing.

Monday Night Movie Series Ten Canoes
Ten Canoes, a 2006 film notable as the first full-length feature made entirely in Indigenous Australian languages, plays at Tilley 102 this Monday, November 5, 2007. The title of the film arose from discussions between de Heer and David Gulpilil regarding a photograph of ten canoeists poling across the Arafura Swamp, taken by anthropologist Donald Thomson in 1936. The film is set in Arnhem Land, in a time before western contact, and tells the story of a young man who covets one of his older brother’s wives. Or rather, it tells
the story of a warrior Dayindi (Jamie Gulpilil), who hunts goose eggs while being told another story about another young man who, like Dayindi, coveted his elder brother’s wife. The sequences featuring Dayindi, set shortly before contact with Caucasians, are in black and white, while shots set in the present and in the distant past are in colour. The film is narrated in English by David Gulpilil while all protagonists speak in indigenous languages. 90 minutes, Australia, 2006, English/ Ganalbingu with English subtitles

If Fredericton were to be compared to a meal, I’ve heard some people say that it would be bland, unfulfilling, and cold far too often. And, on several occasions, I have been inclined to agree with them. But not anymore. If your food is too bland, you need to add some spice. If it’s not satisfying you, you need to take in more. And if it’s too cold, you need to turn up the heat. You can do it all with Latin dancing. Don’t let it scare you though, because not only is it possible for almost anybody to pick up some Latin dancing, it’s also incredibly fun. I joined in the class because I knew absolutely nothing about dancing outside of the square dancing I learned in high school, so it was about time I added to my skill set. More nervous than a sheep entering a den of wolves, I got myself some dancin’ clothes and signed up to UNB’s Latin Dance Beginner classes. These classes lasted for six weeks and were instructed by Otto Morales and Alexis Cárdenas, and assisted by the lovely ladies Saba Hielscher and Kristen Jurcina. We were taught the beginner’s aspects of the Salsa and Merengue, and even though these two dances are different, you will find that they have much in common. The biggest and most important thing to learn is to not overdress. Looking nice is good and all, especially if you’re out looking to impress, but these dances can be very fast paced and warm you up quickly. Also, even though we did stretching exercises before we danced, prepare to be sore pretty much all over due to the fast leg work and holding your arms up high. You’ll find that dancing the Salsa and the Merengue can be tricky but overall quite easy. As Morales stated in the first class, “If you can walk and you can count to four, then you can dance the Merengue.” Surprisingly, that is a very accurate statement. The basic steps of the Merengue are, quite simply, walking in place. Now, there’s more to it than that, with hip and hand movements, but that’s basically it. From there, you can add to your repertoire of moves by doing the rock step (a step to the side), inside turns, outside turns, and

A Bruns writer learns to salsa and merengue with the best of ‘em at a UNB dance class even dancing in circles (or sequences) of varying steps. The Salsa is a little trickier. It has eight beats, however the fourth and eighth beats are actually ‘rests’ where there’s a brief pause. The Salsa includes similar moves to the Merengue, but due to Salsa being a less intimate type of dance than the Merengue, it allows for more turns and other such fancy moves. In both dances, however, you need to be loose and at the same time set up a frame with your partner, which not only makes it easy to do different steps, but looks all kinds of sexy. I had an opportunity to sit down with Alexis Cárdenas, one of the two instructors of the course, to talk about my progress in the class as well as Latin dancing in general. When I started, I was really nervous and so I was kind of stiff and hesitant to try too many of the new moves all at once. By the end of the classes, I had definitely loosened up a lot more and was having more fun on the floor. Thankfully, due to my playing rhythm-based games like ‘Dance Dance Revolution’ and ‘Guitar Hero’, my sense of rhythm was apparently a little bit above the median for a new person. With practice and getting to know the music by getting a huge selection of Latin music to listen to, I was able to make my timing even better. Cárdenas said that one of the most important things to keep in mind when
doing the Salsa or Merengue is to relax and not be stiff. Also, he mentioned that one of the hardest things to start with is getting used to the style itself of the dance, with the combination of closeness and looseness. I can personally attest to a myriad of close calls involving stomped toes or bumped knees, and certainly the style does take some adjustment. Also, making sure that the leaders lead and the followers follow is also tricky. But as the other instructor, Otto Morales, pointed out, even if you mess up, you have to keep cool and run with it. He said that it doesn’t look particularly good if you miss a step and just stop moving and wait until you can catch up with the dance again. He said that it’s much better to just play it by ear and keep going until you get back in the groove again. This makes the leader look good by showing off his or her improvisational skills. Now, the big question is: after six weeks of classes, where can I go from here? Thankfully, almost every Friday night there’s a big Latin party at The Marquee downtown. Even if you don’t have a partner to go with, Cárdenas assured me that there’s always a surplus of young women there that go to dance, so there’ll usually be someone happy to try a few steps. It’s fun, a great workout, and it’s an awesome way to meet people. Add some spice to your Fredericton, it’ll do you good.
