This summer the SUB got renovations for three gender-neutral washrooms and a paint job. But further major renovations will depend on available funding.

SUB is showing its age Benjamin Crouse News Reporter Although the social hub of College Hill is showing its age, it’s currently unclear whether or not the Student Union Building will be getting any new major renovations anytime soon despite some recurring problems.

“We have plenty of concerns. There was mold in CHSR, the roof needs to be redone, there’s been some concrete falling down around the Cellar loading dock,” said Greg Bailey, UNBSU president.

Bailey recently sent out a request for information on past renovations to the SUB and was sent back 153 pages of invoices.

“I asked for a summary of renovations on the SUB. I did it because there’s been a lot of work done lately and I was curious. We have access to all the information and it’s something I wanted to take advantage of.”

Bailey says that a lack of finances is the primary cause of the delays for renovations.

The most recent renovations to the

SUB include the conversion of two washrooms into three gender-neutral/ wheelchair-accessible washrooms and the freshly painted walls in the SUB lobby, both of which occurred this summer.

An email with information on the building provided by Becky Sullivan, director of the SUB, said that, “There are always plans [for more renovations] but they depend on available funding.

These include way-finding signage, accessible doors to the Blue Lounge and replacement of flooring in the

Ballroom.”

It was also said that “no formal complaints” about any parts of the building have been filed.

But it’s not impossible to imagine a completely new building being built in the future.

“If we ever wanted to look at the prospect of a new Student Union Building I think it’s something you really need to go to the students and ask. If the students are going to be the ones who pay for it, the students should be the ones to run it,” said Bailey.

Bailey says that the maintenance of the SUB isn’t solely administration’s job — students should take responsibility for how they treat the building as well.

“The university itself says that the SUB is the social hub of campus so I think that the state of this building and the way it’s used is something that should be a big priority for all of the students,” he said. “[The UNBSU] has been around since 1914 in a variety of forms. We’ve been here to do what students want to do,” Bailey said.

Arbitration results: UNB faculty to receive total salary increase of 12.5 per cent over three years

Emma McPhee News Editor

UNB faculty were finally given strike closure last Monday when the results of the Arbitration Board were released, stipulating a 12.5 per cent total salary increase over a three-year period.

This arbitration settlement tackled any outstanding issues of the contract negotiations between the UNB administration and the Association of University of New Brunswick Teach-

ers (AUNBT) after last year’s labour dispute.

“Essentially it was just some money issues; all of the other stuff was signed off beforehand,” said Miriam Jones, president of the AUNBT. “It was a three-year contract and we had partial [salary] increases for two of those years already signed off, and this was about the third year and any additional increases for the first two years.”

Prior to arbitration, which took place July 6-7 this year, the union and

the administration had agreed to a 2.5 per cent salary increase for the first two years with the third year’s increase to be determined by arbitration.

Based on the document released Sept.

29, the arbitrator ruled that, instead, faculty will see a 3.5 per cent increase in year one and a 4 per cent increase in year two. Year three will see a 5 per cent increase.

“We’re pleased with the results. We’re pleased that it’s settled. Obviously arbitration is a compromise and we didn’t

achieve our goal yet of being at the average of our comparative group, but we’re certainly a lot closer than we were before so that is a very positive thing,” Jones said.

“We’re well on the way to having competitive salaries here at UNB and so we’ve got a strong base for future negotiation.”

Last January, the AUNBT went on strike after they were unable to reach an agreement with the university administration over contract negotiations. De-

spite finally reaching an agreement at the end of January, tensions have persisted.

Jones said she sees the arbitration settlement as a means to finally move on.

“We’ve got the events of the last year, the contract results, negotiations are now settled and we can all move forward and work on our shared goals of building a strong and vibrant and democratic university,” she said. “It means they weren’t standing out in the cold for nothing.”

Unpaid interns: the hidden workers of Canada’s legal system

Emma McPhee News Editor Early one November morning in 2011, 22-year-old Edmonton, Alberta student Andy Ferguson was driving home after completing a night shift at a local radio station where he worked as an unpaid intern.

Presumed to have been too tired to drive, he crossed over the centre line and entered into a fatal head-on collision with a gravel truck.

There are many people who believe that Ferguson’s death could have been avoided. On the day of his death, he had already worked a morning shift and had not wanted to take the night shift as it would have meant working 16 hours that day on top of going to his classes. But his employer had told him that he wouldn’t receive the credit he needed from the internship to graduate if he refused.

It was a dilemma that ended in tragedy.

Intern positions come in many forms in Canada. Paid or unpaid, they are most often filled with students or recent graduates as practicum for their academic programs or a means to get a leg up in the industry of their choice. Conditions vary widely around the country and many do not receive financial remuneration or even the offer of a job position for their work.

In fact, it is becoming more common for unpaid internships to be a prerequisite for actual paid positions.

This makes it difficult for young workers who are financially unable to work for free and gives a stage for employers to abuse unpaid positions.

While not many end in extreme outcomes like Ferguson’s, the situations of unpaid interns in Canada are becoming a more prominent issue in the minds of Canadians. And it’s stories such as Ferguson’s that are driving important discussions about them.

Laurin Liu, an MP for Rivière-desMille-Îles, was inspired into action

by Ferguson’s story. On June 16 of this year she tabled Bill C-620 in the House of Commons, which decried the state of internships in Canada and demanded that, whether interns are paid or unpaid, they receive the same protections as paid employees.

It is the first bill of its kind. “[Ferguson’s death] was a wakeup call for us to create protection that would help unpaid interns and essentially let them put limits on the amounts of hours that they could work for an employer and have intern protection that Andy Ferguson didn’t have at the time,” Liu said.

The safeguards outlined in the bill include protections against sexual harassment in the workplace, the right to refuse dangerous work and a limit on the number of hours an intern

would work. Essentially, it will insure that employers aren’t using unpaid interns as a form of free labour.

“The bill stipulates that unpaid interns that are working for employers have to derive a substantial benefit from the internship,” said Liu. “We’ve seen employers force interns or oblige interns to work excessive hours; we’ve seen employers replace employees with unpaid interns and various other abuses of unpaid interns.”

The bill, formally called “An Act to Amend the Canada Labour Code (Training without Remuneration)” and shortened to “The Intern Protection Act,” will be debated late this fall or early winter.

It seeks to f ill a gap in the Canada

Labour Code, which has no stipulat ions for u npa id internships. Unfortunately, because employment standards for most job sectors are set out at the provincial level, the Intern Protection Act is limited in its scope of providing protection across a wide variety of industries.

“Right now in Canada there is a patchwork of different protections for interns,” said Liu. “The nature of jurisdiction in Canada is provinces have jurisdiction over labour and so this bill would only affect sectors that are federally regulated.”

Federally regulated sectors include telecommunications, transport and banking.

Despite this, Bill C-620 will affect a considerable portion of the population. While there are no official statistics on internships in Canada — a gap in data that further reinforces that the issue exists — estimates on the amount of interns range between 100,000 and 300,000.

These numbers are far too high for Liu, herself only 23 years old, who has personally seen the effects of unpaid internships.

“It’s a big problem. It does affect a wide part of the population. It’s shocking to see how many of my peers who graduated recently are

unable to find paid work upon graduating from university,” she said.

One of the 300,000 was Kayla Perry, a third-year communications student at Laurentian University. In the spring of 2013 she completed an internship at a daily newspaper called the Sudbury Star, working as a reporter. Hers was a positive experience.

“Honestly, I loved my time at the Star. I definitely learned a lot during my time [there] — working at a daily looks great on a resume and the staff worked closely with me whenever I

needed help or had questions, so I appreciated that,” she said.

But Perry is aware that not all interns are as lucky as she.

“To be honest, at the time I accepted the internship I think I was a bit young and naive. I was so motivated to be a journalist and enjoyed reporting so much that I was actually grateful to be working at the Star — I thought I owed the company rather than the company owing me for a month of free, full-time work,” Perry said.

“Although I was lucky enough to be in a financial place where I did not need the compensation at the time, that certainly doesn’t mean my working for free was right, or even legal,” said Perry. “Had I required a source of income, I would have had

t o take another f u l l-t i me job to work in the evenings, which many of my friends have had to do.”

Anne Soucy, the director of UNB’s Career Development and Employment Centre, said that this division of those who can and can’t afford an unpaid internship is only another negative result of them.

“I think sometimes it’s not fair because it’s the students whose parents can afford to support them. It’s a bit of an elitist program because a lot of people just can’t afford to do [an internship] and so it’s setting almost a two-tiered opportunity for people who have money and those who don’t have money,” she said.

But internships can have their place and Soucy is quick to speak to this.

“You’ve got that practical experience plus a current reference from an organization and somebody in your field; it’s an advantage, definitely,” she said.

In order for this to work, however, Soucy said there has to be guidelines.

“Students should be thinking about what [they] want to gain out of this internship and have a mentor or someone within the organization that can provide feedback, because you don’t want to just be dumped into an organization and you want to have a good learning experience as well,” she said.

Beatrice Britneff, a master’s student at Carleton University who is well-versed in the issue, having completed three unpaid internships herself, agrees.

“Unpaid internships should be approved by the student’s college or university and that they should provide the student with skills that will increase their job prospects after they graduate,” she said.

Back on Parliament Hill, Bill C-620 is still awaiting the debate stage. Already there are people who are considering its repercussions.

Some worry that the Intern Protection Act will force companies to end their internship programs, barring new entrees of the industry from receiving the training and experience they need to get a paid fulltime position.

“I’m almost tempted to say I’m not sure the bill is great for young journalists because the creation of the bill forces many huge publications to dissolve their internship positions,” said Perry. “Ideally, in a perfect world, there would still be internships, but they would be compensated — no one should be asked to work for free.”

For others though, it’s more about recognition that unpaid interns have been stuck outside the borders of federal jurisdiction. Should the bill become a law, interns will for the first time receive status in federal law.

To Britneff, it will mean finally receiving a sense of worth for her work.

“I think that unpaid internships are valuable ... but to a certain extent.

I think short-term unpaid internships have a lot to offer students, the most obvious being that they allow you to acquire skills that you’ll need later on when you’re applying for more competitive jobs,” she said.

“But I think there needs to be a cut-off. I think anything beyond two months unpaid is exploitation.

It honestly has an effect on your selfesteem and dignity if someone tells you that the work you do isn’t worth something.”

New Brunswick is currently lacking in employment standards regulations when it comes to internships as they are not mentioned in the New Brunswick Employment Standards Act.

Don’t dine and dash at The Cellar

Devin Patterson Multimedia Editor The Cellar Pub and Grill strives to provide a good atmosphere for students on the hill. But a few recent “walkouts” have staff asking customers to be mindful about footing the bill.

Just as recently as last Wednesday, someone walked out without paying for their meal. Eliott Arseneault, a supervisor at The Cellar, got left with the unpaid bill.

“If we do get a walk-out, the server has to pay it,” he said.

“We certainly have had an issue in the past, especially on our busy nights,” said Pat Hanson, who is now in his eighth year managing The Cellar.

“This year it hasn’t been too much of a problem. Out of the four or five we’ve had, we only have one that’s outstanding.”

To try and stop the problem, patrons may be asked to leave their ID or credit card with them until they’re settled up.

“I tell all the staff on those busy nights to do the old school pub method … so when you drop something, take money for it. Or start a credit card tab, and if [the patrons] don’t want to do either of those, [the servers] take their IDs,” said Hanson.

“If a server ever asks you for your ID card, it’s for that purpose,” said Arseneault, Hanson says they give the servers a couple freebies throughout the year, but after that it would be up to them to cover the cost of the walk-out.

“Obviously I don’t want to put the staff in a bad spot by having them pay-

ing for bills that aren’t theirs,” he said.

“But at the same time, if they have recurring walkouts, they’re not doing one of those three things. If you’re paying enough attention to your tables, it won’t happen.”

“If the person comes back to pay the bill, obviously the money does go back to them.”

If you don’t pay your bill, The Cellar will track you down.

“Having our camera system makes a big difference,” said Hanson.

“The first step is to grab that picture off the camera footage and ask the staff if anyone knows them,” said Arseneault.

“If you haven’t come the next day, we’ll hopefully try and track you down to get that bill paid.”

If you make an effort to ignore the staff trying to get in touch with you, you had better be prepared for a public shaming of your walk-out.

“One time last year we knew the person who walked out on the bill, and I contacted them via Facebook. And then the person changed their name on Facebook and blocked me so I couldn’t contact them anymore,” said Hanson, adding that he then posted on The Cellar’s Facebook telling the person to come and pay or they were never welcome back.

Needless to say they quickly came and paid up.

“I don’t want to be shaming anyone necessarily, but if I have to shame somebody to come and pay their bill, I certainly will,” Hanson said.

Usually it’s just a case of patrons forgetting to pay, but if you leave intentionally without paying your bill, beware.

The Cellar Pub and Grill has been having patrons leave without paying this year.

“Whether that means having you charged with theft, or trying to go through the court system somehow to retrieve money from you,” said Hanson.

“If your bill is big enough and it’s worth our while to do that, then we certainly will do that, but we don’t want to. We’re here for the students. You’re only hurting yourself if you walk out on a bill.”

Canada’s literary gender gap Richard Kent The Argosy SACK V I L L E (CU P) — W h i le women are writ ing nearly ha lf of the literar y reviews in some of Ca nada’s most popu la r a nd respected media outlets, a new count indicates that books written by women attracted a reviewer’s attention less than forty per cent of the time in 2013.

For its third annual count, Canadian Women in the Literary Arts, a volunteer-based feminist literary organization, went through 5613 book reviews published in Canada in 31 print and online publications.

At least some of this disparity is because male reviewers mostly reviewed books by male authors.

Female reviewers split their reviews near evenly between male and female authors.

This year, 46.43 percent of the reviews counted were written by women. 51.75 per cent were written by men. Reviewers with nonbinary genders wrote only 0.02 percent of the reviews counted.

Women fa red worse when it came to getting reviewed. Women wrote just 37 percent of the books

in the reviews CWILA counted, wh i le a l most 57 percent were male-authored. Authors who don’t identify along binary gender lines wrote 0.14 of the books reviewed and counted.

The Argosy’s own 2013 numbers left room to improve. Women authored 50 per cent of the reviews printed, but only one-third of the six books reviewed were written by women.

W h i le t he nu mber s may be cause for concern, CWILA Chair Erin Wunker and Count Director Judith Scholes stress that the numbers should be handled with care.

Because of methodological constraints, it is possible that counters missed some newspaper reviews.

They also discourage anyone from assuming that other publications would show the same proportions as the 31 publications counted.

And CWILA is not ready to infer trends from the data – yet. Scholes said this will take at least three years of comparable data, which is not yet available. “ You ca n’t d raw a ny cla i ms about trends for at least three years of data that’s collected in the same

way,” Scholes said of the methodological and categorical changes that CWILA has implemented since its 2011 count.

“Statistically speak ing, we’re trying as best as we can to be as robust within a given year: how we are presenting data, how we are measuring the data, and how we are being transparent about that measurements.”

This year, CWILA changed the way it treated books with multiple authors, and how it included writers who don’t ident if y as male or female. Next year’s count will improve its accuracy with real-time data collection.

Limitations or not, the right people are paying attention. The Nat iona l Post ’s for mer book s editor, Mark Medley, told CWILA that a poor showing in the 2011 count made him conscious of his section’s gender bias.

The Post increased the number of female-authored books it reviewed by nearly ten per cent in the 2012 count.

2013 was CWILA’s largest count to date, nearly doubling the number of reviews over the 2012 count.

Broken guitars teach business ethics Emma McPhee News Editor

Broken guitars can teach valuable lessons in business ethics; at least that’s the idea behind UNB’s MBA professional development program bringing in Dave Carroll, the man behind the hit YouTube trilogy “United Breaks Guitars,” to speak.

This Friday, Carroll, a native Haligonian, will be giving a talk on business ethics and how individuals can harness the power of social media to hold corporations accountable.

The focus of the talk will be on the story behind Carroll’s viral YouTube trilogy.

“Back in 2009 [Carroll] was travelling by United Airways and his Taylor guitar was damaged. Anyone who appreciates music knows that when it comes to a musician their guitar is the tool of their trade and they’re highly valuable,” said Liz Lemon-Mitchell,

director of communications and operations for the faculty of business administration.

“When he tried to make a customer claim he was just told to go away, more or less. [United Airways] did not want to take responsibility for it and after several iterations he decided to use his creativity and use his sense of humour and create these three videos. He posted them on YouTube and they went viral instantly and within not a very long period of time people all over the world saw the story,” she said.

The video trilogy follows the story arc of Carroll’s experience with United Airways, with the first story being a ballad about the guitar-breaking incident itself, the second about the irresponsiveness of the airline company to his customer claim and the third focussing on how much the whole experience has helped his career and drawn attention to the similar plights

of other customers.

Lemon-Mitchell said the story touches on topics covered in business administration courses such as marketing, branding, customer service, business ethics and word of mouth.

“What Dave Carroll did with his trilogy is he demonstrated to everyone around the world in a very spectacular and entertaining way just how much social media takes that power of word of mouth to a whole new level,” Lemon-Mitchell said.

Although the MBA professional development program has guest speakers every week, Lemon-Mitchell said they decided to open up Carroll’s talk to the public because his message can be applicable to everyone.

“Dave’s story teaches us that through social media, individuals have a lot of power and we can show up these businesses and corporations that don’t take their obligations

seriously and treat people unethically,” Lemon-Mitchell said.

“But on a higher level, his story demonstrates that we’re all connected and we can use the power of those connections to make the business world a better place.”

The talk will take place on Friday, Oct. 10 in the Currie Centre’s Long Hall.

Seat ing is limited so anyone wanting to

attend is asked to register at Unb.ca/ fredericton/business/mba/unitedbreaksguitars.

Student body, not Union, is the problem AN OPINION

Micah O’Donnell In the last Student Union election, 17.7 per cent of undergraduates voted. There’s every bit of room with that number to point a finger at the SU. I worked for the SU for two years during my undergraduate degree as council’s secretary. I’ve watched good and bad decisions be made. During the strike, I heavily criticized the SU. But not today.

The real problem with the SU is the student body. On council, there are some hardworking students trying to bring better representation, advocacy and services to students.

However, we’ve all taken advantage of them.

Maybe the cure to get students

involved is to encourage council to start making really bad decisions.

Advocate for tuition hikes. Only hire Milli Vanilli cover bands for concerts. Cut the finding to clubs and societies. Completely ignore new students during orientation.

The SU should cut every service they offer to students so we can all see for a year how much they organize, fund and provide.

However, I don’t think President Greg Bailey is going to go for it.

What I do think he would go for is increased services alongside an increased SU fee. Right now, there are everyday services that can be broadened through extra funds to offer students new services. The best example is SafeRide.

I sat down with former SU president and current UNB law student Ben W hitney to talk about the possibilities of expanding SafeRide.

Basically, if SafeR ide was given a third van, not only could they manage their full-capacity winters better, but they could offer new transportation services. During my undergraduate, I was a single parent without a vehicle. I would have given anything to have a drive

The Brunswickan relies primarily on a volunteer base to produce its issues every week. Volunteers can drop by room 35 of the SUB at any time to find out how they can get involved.

About Us

The Brunswickan, in its 148th year of publication, is Canada’s Oldest Official Student Publication.

We are an autonomous student newspaper owned and operated by

Be a Varsity Red... whatever that is As a frequenter of UNB sporting events, both varsity and club, I am always excited to see a large student turnout, be it in a “student section” or just sprinkled throughout the audience. It reminds our campus, our teams and our city that students have that UNB spirit even after the fireworks of O-Week have faded.

However, there seems to be a slip in UNB spirit, especially at these sporting events. A few years ago, a club started on campus called the Red Brigade. Their goal was to get students out to sporting events, have a great time, and support our teams. However, it takes more than a brigade to win a war.

This battle is that of student spirit at UNB, more specifically at UNB sporting events. I could go into the lack of red and black clot hing during U N B’s “ Wear

UNB Wednesdays,” but let’s start with sporting events.

Aside from hockey, the average UNB student can probably count the amount of university sporting events they’ve attended on one hand.

Be it the miserable weather, lack of promotion, or lack of school spirit, the student fan-base which once dominated an arena, a field or a court has begun to slip away.

We look at schools nea r us, such as Mount Allison, and their sporting events emblazoned with gold and burgundy, as if we were in some J.K. Rowling fantasy. The crowd cheers and the colours soar, while down the road, the bleachers at UNB are bare, filled with more cameras than students.

It is time that UNB, these club and varsity sports, as well as the students themselves, look at our

campus and our school spirit and rise up. Wear your red and black, take two hours of your evening or weekend and go to your favorite sporting event, or try watching a new one.

And to you, UNB, start promoting sports like they are the pinnacle of the week. We speak of breaks and stress-relievers; why not push the atmosphere and fun that a sporting event could be?

Let’s fill our recruiting guides with students at games and students smiling in a library.

If none of this works, then maybe we should take a step back, take a deep breath, and figure out what the fuck a Varsity Red really is.

to pick up or drop off my son. That extra hour of walking back and forth every day would be an invaluable extra five hours a week to do school work amidst a part-time job and child-rearing.

With an expanded SafeRide, the SU could even consider a band-aid cure to our province’s refusal of abortion access. Discrete transportation could be offered to an out-of-province clinic. While the SU, I imagine, would be unwilling to cover the costs of a student’s abortion, it is entirely appropriate to, at the very least, offer the transportation, giving some semblance of access for students.

To fund a new vehicle, an increase to the SU fee is vital. And I hear you. I can’t believe that I am advocating for a fee increase either. But wait, I have an idea on how to do this without introducing any new costs to your fee statement.

In Feb. 2012, during the SU election, a referendum question was placed on the electronic ballot: “Should University of New Brunswick policy and the provincial University Act require a student referendum on the implementation

of ancillary fees?”

The question was posed as a reaction to the aptly nicknamed “Curry Centre/er Fee” (if you don’t get the spelling, contact our former Chancellor, Richard Currie) of $150 that was instituted under more than sketchy circumstances. The reply from the student body (who voted, that is, 22.3 per cent) was definitive.

798 students voted yes, 297 voted no. Yet no action was taken.

While the anger and reaction towards the Curry Centre/er fee is now long past, I think we could extend an opportunity to our Board of Governors, administration, and UNB President Eddy Campbell to make amends on the whole issue.

Decrease that ancillary fee by $75 and ma ke way for t he Student Union to increase their fee by $25.

Students save $50 which is often gouged by way of UNB’s foolish “late payment fee” anyway and the SU would now have what I would surmise to be adequate finances to support a third vehicle.

The problem is that our administration and its glorious leader are not much for listening to the votes of various bodies at UNB. Whether

it be non-confidence votes by faculty or a referendum on ancillary fees by students, the administration’s latest tagline should be “Ignorance is wealthy, comfortable bliss for some of us.” Alongside, a new photo of Eddy giving a thumbs-up would be nice. The reaction from the administration on definitive and obvious decisions by faculty or students is often a nice pat on the head.

But why shouldn’t they go ahead with my flawless plan? Like I said, the SU offers innumerable services to our students. They take our money, but they hand it right back to us. Take 10 SafeRide drives and there’s your SU fee paying for itself.

While I may think removing those services for a bit would remind the student body of what they’re taking advantage of, I also think that increasing services and advocacy would raise a massive banner that states “LOOK AT ALL WE DO FOR YOU, YOU UNGR ATEFUL STUDENTS.” The least you can do in return is vote in SU elections, take advantage of their services, and if nothing else, go to their concerts and drink your face off.

It’s time to take social media sexual harrassment seriously: A Q&A by Human Rights Officer Barbara Roberts Alex Lee* is a student who wanted to share a personal experience with sexual harassment.

This interview focuses on the experience, regrets and recommendations of a harasser.

Human Rights Officer Barbara Roberts: Alex, what do you want people to know about sexual harassment, from your experience?

Alex: With an estimated 92 per cent of youth having experienced being sexually harassed through electronic means, it’s time to take this issue seriously. Sexual harassment happens over social networking sites, various chat rooms, instant messaging, Skype and MSN. I’m here to tell you how to steer very clear from being harassed or being a harasser.

Human Rights Barbara Roberts: Can you describe what happened?

Alex: I stumbled upon a student’s Facebook page, and found this person very attractive, so I decided to message them. They made it clear that they were in a relationship, but I kept pursuing them. I took it too far: constantly texting the student, day in and out, while they continued to tell me to stop. My comments became sexual and disrespectful. They filed a complaint with campus security. That’s when I realized the damage I had done. I am unable to undo the damage I have done to the student, while I wish the opposite was true. I am also unable to imagine the suffering the student endured for months, with me constantly behaving the way I did. They aren’t able to know how apologetic I truly am. Having attended in front of the Board of Deans, I received strict penalties such as being unable to enter certain buildings on campus, paying a hefty fine, and several others.

Human Rights Officer Barbara Roberts: How do you feel now?

Alex: I cannot comprehend how I even thought that my behavior was acceptable. I felt a great sense of remorse and disdain once I had realised that they were crippled by this experience. I was very distraught and awfully ashamed when I had to inform my family members, my guidance counsellor and my partner. The pain I felt from having to do so could have only been a fraction of the pain I inflicted.

Human Rights Officer Barbara Roberts: What advice do you have to share?

Alex: I have learned several methods to avoid ever harassing another person, and to help yourself if you are being harassed. Sexual harassment may appear as innocent comments on a person’s body or clothing. If a comment is of a sexual nature and makes an individual uncomfortable, it is sexual harassment. As a general rule, one should remain professional on the internet. Respect the message when someone says “Stop it.” If someone’s behaviour makes you uncomfortable, tell them, then get help. Don’t be ashamed; seek support and stay safe. Had I figured this out much sooner, I would not be telling you this right now. If only a single person is able to retain anything I have shared, I would consider this story a triumph. Sexual harassment is no laughing matter. This is a crime and should be taken seriously. All youth and members of society should be aware of how to avoid harassment, either being a perpetrator or to know what to do when being the victim. * Name has been changed for publication.

Beach House’s “Northern Exposure Tour” set to rock The Playhouse on Friday, Oct. 10

Sebastian Maynard

Arts Editor

It is no secret that Fredericton isn’t the main destination for touring bands when they come to Canada.

Whenever your favourite band announces a string of shows, if they stop in Canada the usual locations would be Vancouver, Toronto and/or Montreal. Though it hurts, it is somewhat understandable. Half the time I wish I were somewhere other than Fredericton. So when a band chooses to come here even if they don’t really have to, well, cheers to them.

When my conversation with Alex Scally of Beach House began, I wasn’t sure he would even know where Fredericton was, so I made sure. He asked where I was calling from, and I explained that he would be playing here on Friday, Oct. 10 and that I was somewhere on the east coast of Canada. He probably already knew that of course, as he and Victoria Legrand have been travelling through Canada for almost a month now, on a “Northern Exposure Tour.” With shows in Victoria and Nelson, B.C. to stops in Saskatoon and Thunder Bay, the Baltimore based “dream-pop” band has finally gotten to do something they have always wanted: To tour the “True North.”

“I guess cause they are just out of the way and usually when an album comes out there is a lot of pressure to play the hugest cities,” explained Scally on why the duo have not been able to tour the country as extensively as they would have liked in the past. “We’re kind of in this period where we’re not doing much, so we thought it was the perfect opportunity.”

Beach House’s latest release was 2012’s Bloom, which was given four-and-a-half stars from Consequence of Sound and a 9.1 rating from Pitchfork. While recording music is great, playing live shows is where the band is happiest.

Scally describes performances as a place to “study,” where he and Legrand can see if a song works.

“In the recording studio everything is really controlled and you can hear everything really clearly. In a live environment, everything is changing every single night, so I think you actually really can test things.”

While every night a song can sound different or get a different reaction, that is the always case with touring. “You’ll go to a city once and get this distinct impression of it and think you know what is going on, and then the next time you can have your perception completely change.”

And that is the mindset that Beach House will have with them when they touch down in Fredericton early Friday morning. Scully asked for recommendations on things to do or places to check out while the band is in town, and though it will be the second last show of the tour, the guitar player genuinely seemed interested and excited to come. After hearing his thoughts on the rest of Canada – British Columbia was beautiful; he was told that Winnipeg was Canada’s version of Baltimore and Thunder Bay was one of his favourite shows of the tour – I just hope the east coast can leave as positive an impression as the rest of our country.

Maybe this will be the start of something big.

Three artists, one common bond: a strong sense of place

Melanié Michaud The Brunswickan Walking into my first art gallery opening, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I thought, “Will this be too fancy for me? What do I wear?”

K nowing my sometimes-clumsy self, I was also kind of afraid there would be lots of breakable things that I would mistakenly bump into.

Luckily, it wasn’t what I had anticipated at all. I was greeted by smiles and beautiful artwork. Fortunately, I didn’t knock anything over, either.

When I arrived on Friday, Oct. 3 at the commercial gallery in an old Victorian-style house that surely seen a few good parties, the wine was flowing, people were mingling and the artists also seemed to be having a good time at their exhibit opening. The three artists featured were Glenn Hall, Ann Manuel and Monika Lacey. It was obvious they all had quite different styles.

The first collection of artwork that I saw was by Glenn Hall. He had well-detailed oil paintings of natural sceneries on board. I got the opportunity to speak to the artist, who was wearing a Beatles t-shirt and old jeans. Hall’s work is inspired by the surroundings of his shack in K ingston, Ont., out “in the middle of nowhere.”

Ha ll “wou ld wa nder a round the woods and make images from that.” The result is a very organic and coherent body of work, and it made me wish I had the skills to paint an accurate depiction of what was right in front of me.

Most of his work was of the outdoors. When asked about how he thinks the exploitations of our natural resources and ecosystems will affect the artists of the future, he was adamant that it would “not [be] in a positive way.” Hall is hopeful that things won’t get that bad though. “I believe in the human spirit.”

At the other end of the gallery, I noticed a different piece that didn’t resemble anything else presented.

It wasn’t made out of board, wood, canvas or metal. It was actually

made of white tarlatan, a type of mesh material. As someone who sews, it caught my eye. The tarlatan piece was created by Ann Manuel and was titled “Airing the Family Laundry.”

The piece had different layers, all of which could be individually sold. There was a layer with jeans, the next with a bathing suit and a few other layers with different pr i nts of clot h i ng. Beh i nd a l l the different tarlatan tiers, there was a hidden family secret of the Manuels.’ The secret, as she told me, was a rumour shared by her brother: “A Manuel family member shot and killed a Beothuck and then dragged the body behind his boat.”

Although it wasn’t necessarily the cheeriest of stories, I really liked that she played up the name of the installation. On top of her tarlatan pieces, I really admired Ann Manuel’s larger, darker pieces t hat were eit her on boa rd or on canvas. They were dynamic, colourful and beautiful. I preferred these paintings versus her smaller, daintier pieces that showed minor differences between each other.

The third artist showcased in this exhibit was Monika Lacey, a younger artist that has a nostalgic and personal feel to her work. Her pieces incorporated pictures of her ancestors along with all kinds of different types of materials. Just one of her creations featured five different types of materials and techniques. This demonstrated her ingenuity and creativity.

In Lacey’s area of the gallery, there was also a book with rough draf ts or concepts for oeuvres that would later be created. This let us into the creative process, which I found pretty cool. It was like a backstage pass. My favourite artwork of hers was definitely her “Sea and Sky” piece, which made me think of a day at the beach.

A ll in all, visiting Gallery 78 was a nice change of scenery and an experience I would recommend to anyone. These three talented artists will be showcased in this exhibit until Oct. 19.

The work of Glen Hall, Ann Manuel and Monika Lacey are currently on exhibit at Gallery 78.

New Brunswick Arts Board details new budget and programs

Kevin Lemieux Arts Reporter Just before the provincial election, the Province of New Brunswick renewed its Cultural Policy, Creative Futures, and with that comes money for some new projects.

The New Brunswick Arts Board, otherwise known as artsnb, has been given $200,000 towards programming. This money is meant to help artists in the province through existing programs and fund some new pilot projects.

Akoulina Connell is the executive

director of artsnb. She’s excited to have the money and invest it in young talent. A new one-time start up grant program is something she thinks will help artists.

“Up to five years after graduation, new artists can apply for a one-time grant for equipment or infrastructure, a value up to $2,500. So it’s a great little program because it helps with start-up costs, which can be expensive, like buying a kiln or film equipment. Depending on the discipline, the cost is high.”

At the beginning of this year, two of artsnb’s biggest programs, Arts

Scholarship and Artist in Residence, had lost some of its funds. But now, both these programs have been restored to their $300,000 value.

When cuts were made, Connell and her team tried to not affect a specific area.

“When we made cuts to our programs, we made sure to not cut from one in particular, just to shuffle the existing money around more strategically. Our funding hasn’t been stable for the past 20 years. We’re looking into private funding this fall to raise our budget in a few different areas.”

The Artist in Residence program directly hits the UNB campus. The Writer in Residence for the Creative Writing program on campus has previously received funding through artsnb and the university. Connell mentions that this person is not only available for the university, but the entire province.

While artsnb is valuable to all arts and culture enthusiasts around the province, it is especially the young that can benefit.

“If we don’t do a good job of supporting young people who wish to develop their creative capacity, then

we’re limiting our society. There are a lot of scholarships available for other subjects, but there’s not much available for those looking to study fine arts,” said Connell.

“This is a key investment into someone’s career path. We hope one day these artists become clients of artsnb because they had support and encouragement from the beginning.”

On Friday, Oct. 10 at 3 p.m., the Fine Arts department at St. Thomas University will be hosting Vanessa Moeller from artsnb, who will give a workshop on how to write an effective grant proposal.

City of God tells the story of Rocket, a kid trying to escape the slums of Brazil Sebastian Maynard Arts Editor

The film follows Rocket and his friends as they grow up on the outskirts of one of Brazil’s largest cities. Some characters fall in love, some betray, some become gangsters and some die. It is not neces-

Welcome to the City of God, where “you need more than guts to be a good gangster. You need ideas.”

The 2002 film is a classic.

It was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Directing and Best Cinematography, as well as a Golden Globe, and won at the Toronto International Film Festival. City of God has an 8.7 rating on IMDb and comes in at number 21 on their list of top 250 films of all time.

But the film is Brazilian, and has subtitles and no big name actors. It’s not an easy movie that will simply entertain for two hours, but is one that is filled with the complexities and emotions that make up the life of a kid living in a favela.

Every police chase, death, kiss, argument and triumph are seen through the eyes of a narrator who trying to find his way out of the Rio de Janeiro ghetto. From his view, the only way that is possible is either to sell fish, or become a cop or criminal. Rocket’s main passion, though, is photography, Nominated for four Academy Awards, City of God is our and like any good photojour- Netflix movie of the week. nalist, he tells a story without Submitted having to be the main focus or

sarily the people themselves that matter, but the location where it is all taking place.

Everyone in the City of God has a role to play but ultimately it is the city itself that is the main character. Through great camera work and editing, the dusty streets and poorly built houses become the viewer’s entire world for a couple of hours, just as it is for the people on the screen.

Set mainly in the disco era of the 1970s, the films soundtrack includes James Brown, Carl Douglas (“everybody was Kung Fu fighting”) and Bachman-Turner Overdrive as well as some great Brazilian artists like Wilson Simonal and Cartola. The film also touches on many of the issues that the late ‘60s to early ‘80s became known for. There are hippies and drugs, music, dancing, racial prejudices, gender inequalities and economic divides. For the most part though, the characters in the movie aren’t thinking about these things; they are just trying to survive, and the great ensemble cast of Brazilian actors portrays that feeling of inevitability.

City of God’s tagline translates to something like “damned if you do, damned if you don’t,” and the never-ending cycle of hopelessness that the film gets across is one that, unfortunately, people all around the world can relate to. As the movie seems to have lost all chances for hope or happiness though, the viewer realizes that just as the city takes away, it also gives.

The film cannot be easily categorized as a gangster film, or a coming-of-age or a foreign drama. It touches on all these things, but does so in a smooth, understated way.

After all, it is not the film or the city that is coming to you and trying to get your attention. You have to go to it and play by its rules. And if you do, you won’t be disappointed.

Fredericton Fall Craft Show: NB artists on display

Now in its fourth year, the Fredericton Fall Craft Show brings together artists and the public all while helping the Women in Transition House.

Naseem Yaqzn/The Brunswickan

Kevin Lemieux Arts Reporter It may only be the beginning of October, but Christmas will be here sooner than you think, meaning it’s probably a good time to start shopping before everyone else crowds the mall. For those who were thinking ahead or looking for something a little extra special, the Fredericton Fall Craft Show was a great place to be this past weekend.

The Capital Exhibit Centre was host to this weekend-long event.

Sandra Deveau Is the organizer of this annual show, now in its fourth year.

“It takes me close to six months of working on this. I am the sole organizer, but my family pitches in.

I do this show in the fall and then another one in May.” The event was packed with people of all ages shopping for everything from paintings to woodwork, jewellery to knitting. Deveau thinks it’s important for events like this to happen in order to bring people together.

“As a craftsperson, you put so much love and effort into developing something you’re thrilled with, but you really don’t know how well it’s going to go over,” she said.

“This show here brings in crafters from around the Maritimes to show their product. And there’s nothing better than when somebody buys them. For a lot of them, this is their income; they need to sell and to be in a show.”

The centre was also filled with tons of food. The smells, sweet and savory, tickled your nose at every turn.

Ron Bint runs The Maritime Gourmet Nut Company. He’s been running his business for 10 years but this is his first time in Fredericton.

He thinks events like these are especially important for craftspeople.

“It’s great for us because we sell weekly back in Halifax, but for a lot of people, this is their only way to meet customers and make new ones. So it’s a way of publicizing themselves.”

Bint roasts a variety of nuts on location. They also have no salt or oil added to them. Bint believes his nuts are different than any others out there.

“Just a few ingredients and we have a great product. We make them right here on location so people can see how they’re made, kind of like a show. But they also know exactly what’s in them and that they’re as

fresh as they can get.”

The event was free to the public but donations were welcomed, with proceeds going to the Women in Transition House. The donation buckets were being filled and Deveau knows just how important the money is.

“In my first marriage, I was in a very bad marriage. Back in the ‘70s, there was nowhere I could go. So to me, it’s a really good cause because women need to escape bad situations and all they need is a helping hand.

Transition House is the place where they can run to with their children and get back on their feet.”

Goose Lane celebrates 60 years of publishing Armin Afrough The Brunswickan Goose Lane Editions celebrated its 60th anniversary of telling stories on Friday, Oct. 3 at the Fredericton Convention Centre.

Susanne Alexander and Julie Scriver, the major shareholders of the company, hosted a series of speeches and readings by writers, poets, artists and their financial supporters.

This was the second celebration held by the company, with the first coming earlier this fall in Toronto.

Speaking on her time with Goose Lane, Scriver, who is also the creative director for the company, described it as “very stimulating … very challenging, very rewarding, very engaging.” “ It ’s b e e n ve r y exc iting to see the company grow,” she said.

“To see it start from such a small place and to … be surviving.”

Among those in attendance was UNB’s president, Eddy Campbell. During his

speech, Campbell referred to the early days of the publishing experience as one that tested the entrepreneurial sprit, when books were shipped in the trunks of the cars.

“It’s really interesting and cool to be at a university where the faculty of arts may claim to have created the university’s first start-up,” he said.

Campbell also announced that the University of New Brunswick was named Canada’s Most Entrepreneurial Post-Secondary Institution at the 2014 Start-Up Canada Awards.

UNB has had a key role in the history of Goose Lane, going back to Fred Cogswell, a former English professor at UNB. With the help of several other friends and students, Cogswell founded Fiddlehead Poetry Books in 1954.

Later, another writer and English professor at UNB, Peter Thomas, directed the company and changed its name to Goose Lane Editions.

From 1988 on, Susanne Alexander and six other shareholders have owned and oper-

ated the company.

Along with UNB, the city of Fredericton was also constantly recognized as a welcoming place. Nancy Bauer, a former writer-inresidence at UNB, delivered a speech on her comingtoFrederictonin1965,whereshegot involved with the literary community, which eventually led to her publishing novels with Goose Lane Editions. “[My husband and I] both fell deeply in love with the place,” she said of Fredericton.

Bauer now feels her role with Goose Lane has become that of a “godmother.”

“Under Julie and Susanne, its success has been amazing and I was and will always be grateful that I have a small part in its birth.”

The rest of the night was filled with speechesandreadingsfromthelikesofformer Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick, Herménégilde Chiasson, Governor General Award winning Don McKay, and Editor of the Malahat Review, John Barton.

Barton described the process of getting published with Goose Lane as a fast one.

Taking just 15 days from submissions to ac-

ceptance,theexperiencewas“rathermagical.”

Though the night was mainly centered around Goose Lane’s anniversary, many people were there for the informal conversations and to catch up with old friends who came to Fredericton for the ceremony as well as Poetry Weekend which took place this weekend at Memorial Hall.

The night ended with Beth Powning, whose out-of-print book, “Seeds of Another Summer,” was recently published by Goose Lane.

The new edition, titled “Home: C h ronicle of a

North Country Life,” includes her nature photography and writings.

Finally, the celebration finished with six cakes, one for each decade of the publishing company’s history.

Goose Lane Editions held a celebration this past weekend to mark their 60th anniversary.

Songs of the week Sebastian Maynard Arts Editor

Aretha Franklin – “Rolling in the Deep (The Aretha Version)” 72-year-old Aretha Franklin is planning on putting out a new album later this month. Titled Aretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics, the record will feature ten adaptations of songs, such as old ones like “At Last,” which was made famous by Etta James to more recent tracks like Alicia Keys’ “No One” and Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep.” While staying true to Adele’s hit, Franklin brings her own style to the song, roaring up and down the music scale and adding trumpets and more prominent backing vocals. Franklin isn’t content with the rumble that seems to threaten throughout the original version, instead allowing the song to reach a different type of intensity.

While the original song was dark, the Movement version is slowed down, with synths and distorted vocals, taking it to a whole other level. Let the remixes continue to come.

Joey Bada$$ – “Christ Conscious” Joey Bada$$ does things his way. Back in the beginning of 2013, he famously stated that he was thinking about signing with Jay Z at Roc-A-Fella Records, but the 19 year old (that’s right) has held out as an independent artist, getting ready to release his debut album sometime in the near future. One of the tracks that is set to appear on B4.DA.$$ is “Christ Conscious.” The song follows the Bada$$ formula to perfection and is probably one of the best songs he has put out since his awesome 2012 mixtape, 1999. Set against an eerie, classic hip hop beat, Bada$$ is right at home, delivering witty lines quicker than your brain can process them. The coolest thing about this song though, is how it was made.

Bada$$ apparently came across the producer of the song, Basquiat, by searching his own name on YouTube and finding the instrumental. So let that be a lesson to all you aspiring producers out there; you never know who is listening and what can happen.

Men’s soccer still unbeaten Oliver Jones scores late to give Varsity Reds Sunday win Jamie Tozer Sports Editor Oliver Jones’ goal in the 90th minute on Sunday gave the UNB Varsity Reds men’s soccer team another perfect weekend.

On a nice setup from Diego Padilha, Jones’ goal gave the Varsity Reds a dramatic 1-0 victory over the Dalhousie Tigers on a rainy day at BMO Centre. UNB also defeated the Université de Moncton 1-0 on Friday.

“We didn’t exactly come out and play the way we wanted to play but we fought as hard as we could,” said Jones after the game. “The boys really put a good effort in and it paid it off. We got the goal in the end and got the three points.”

The win improved the V-Reds to 8-0-1 on the season which is good for first in the Atlantic University Spor t sta nd ings. Enter ing t he Thanksgiving weekend break, UNB has a six-point lead on second-place Cape Breton.

Despite picking up the win on Sunday, the Reds were far from perfect. “[Dalhousie] went to a man down and we didn’t want to get ourselves into a false sense of security,” said Jones, referring to Dalhousie’s Tyler Lewars who was given a red card in the second half following a hard tackle. “We moved the ball well but we would have liked to have put a couple more goals past them and put in a performance that was really outstanding.”

Coach Miles Pinsent was disappointed in his team’s performance.

“Lackluster, lacked energy and we really didn’t stick to the game plan. As a result, we gave a very determined team in Dalhousie a real good chance at not only getting a tie but perhaps getting full points out of it.”

UNB doesn’t play again until Oct. 17 when they travel to Charlottetown to face the UPEI Panthers. Jones said the team has some things to work on before their next match.

“I think we can move the ball better and have better link up play,” said the striker. “I know we’re capable of much better than what we put in today. That’s something

that, as soon as we come back from Thanksgiving, we’re going to work very hard at in training.”

UNB had several good chances in the first 15 minutes of the game but Tigers goalkeeper TJ Leopold made a few good stops to keep things scoreless. Shots in the opening half were 4-1 in favour of UNB. In the 49th minute, Steve Miller fired the ball into the box for Marcus Lees who sent a header just high of the goal. Soon after, Padilha fired a soft ball through some traffic that found its way to Leopold but the Tigers keeper made the save.

The second half was quite physical with four yellow cards and a red being handed out. The Reds were able to create a few scoring chances through the roughness but could

not connect.

Finally at the end of regulation time, Jones scored the lone goal of the match to give the V-Reds a 1-0 victory.

Shots overall in the match were 8-2 in favour of the Reds. Reds goalkeeper Aaron McMurray made two stops in the win.

On Friday in Moncton, Shea Nordheim’s goal in the 15th minute proved to be the winner. The Varsity Reds outshot the Aigles Bleus 11-8 overall with seven of their shots coming in the first half.

McMurray made three saves for the shutout victory.

UNB’s next home match is on Oct. 19 against Moncton.

Jamie Tozer Sports Editor

Over the past decade or so, analytics have become an important part of baseball.

Although they are still not accepted by all, they are becoming increasingly mainstream. The 2011 movie Moneyball certainly helped boost their popularity amongst baseball fans.

Now, that stats shift is coming to hockey. Over the past couple years, analytics, also referred to as advanced statistics, have become part of the game. Much like baseball, Corsi = this shift to new numbers has not been an easy or (SOG for + missed SOG quick transition — but for + BS against) the hockey world is slowly getting there.

Hockey Analytics: The Basics

Besides variations of Corsi, the team is tracking what they call “true plus/minus” to see who actually created and caused

Corsi and Fenwick are the two most com-

monly known advanced stats. Corsi adds shots on goal for, missed shots on goal for and blocked shots against while a player is on the ice and then subtracts shots on goal against, missed shots on goal against, and blocked shots for. If a player has a positive Corsi rating, it typically means his team has the puck more than the opposition while he is on the ice. Fenwick uses the same formula but excludes blocked shots.

“The education system has changed,” said Young. “Players today want communication and different ways to communicate with them. Stats play a big part of that.”

The UNB Varsity Reds men’s hockey team will also be tracking some analytics this season. Head coach Gardiner MacDougall said he believes his team is the first in Canadian Interuniversity Sport to have someone on staff tracking them.

Hockey analytics have had humble beginnings. Corsi is named after its creator, NHL goalie coach Jim Corsi, while Fenwick and another popular stat, PDO — which is used to determine “puck luck” or who is getting favourable or unfavourable bounces at a certain time — are named after hockey bloggers.

While many of these stats have been created by bloggers, they are being used more and more by the mainstream media. Hockey Night in Canada’s Elliotte Friedman used them on some broadcasts last season, TSN has created an analytics team and Sportsnet has added writers to cover the numbers as well.

The next step for hockey analytics?

goals. They are also determining goalies’ save percentages when an individual player is on the ice, zone starts to see what faceoff zone players are relied upon, and a number of other things.

While Young and the Sea Dogs hope to use the numbers to assist them in player evaluations, they are also hoping to use them to educate players on what they need to work on.

Are you ready for some event managment?

Sarah Rouse Sports Reporter Dr. Jonathon Edwards is bringing a new and exciting course to the recreation and sports studies faculty at the University of New Brunswick.

RSS 4032 Event Management grants students the opportunity to gain experience planning and organizing sporting events on

campus.

Thisclasswasinitiallycreatedbytheformer assistant dean of kinesiology Cynthia Stacey, who has since moved on to her current position as dean of Renaissance College. Edwards, who holds a PhD in the field of sport management from the University of Alberta, has taken the reins of the course, which is being offered for the first time this semester.

“The faculty of recreation and sports

studies focuses primarily on the business side of kinesiology,” said Edwards. “We have offered a second-year programming course for several years, and we thought that this would be a natural transition when it comes tolearninghowtoplanandimplementevents and programs.”

Although the course does feature in-class lectures, the focus is primarily on experiential learning through hands-on interaction with

the sporting community.

“Our goal is to help students boost their resumes by giving them the hands-on learning that employers are searching for in today’s job market,” said Edwards.

This semester, the RSS students have joined forces with the Red Bombers football team. The class will be running the show at their next three home games and any potential playoffs matches. They also played a large

roleinplanningUNB’sHomecominggame, which took place Sept. 27.

“Our students take on a number of roles at the football games on a rotating basis,” explained Edwards. “For example, one week they could be working on communication through Twitter feeds and other social media outlets, then the next they’ll be setting up and taking down for the game, or coordinating thevolunteers.”(Continued on page 17...)

Is this finally the year for the St. Louis Blues? I think so.

This team is seriously deep on both offence and defence, and although they don’t have a star netminder, Brian Elliott and Fredericton’s Jake Allen should get thejobdone.TheyaddedPaulStastnythisoff-season and, even though he may not be the offensive gamebreaker the Blues need, he will certainly give them a boost. On paper, the Blues have and have had a great team. If they don’t go deep in this year’s playoffs they’ll be in the same category as the San Jose Sharks — a category that nobody wants to be in.

The Ducks are looking mighty once again. While they may not have coach Bombay and Charlie Conway, this is the team that led the league in goals last year, with a lot of the load being carried by stars Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. They also gotimpressivegoaltendingfromrelativelyunknown Frederik Andersen. There’s also some young Ducks ready to break out, namely John Gibson in net, and Patrick Maroon on the wing. Then throw in new addition Ryan Kesler, and this team looks poised to fly their way to the top.

They’ve brought in Brad Richards to fill that void and boast a lethal top six that includes Toews, Richards, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp and Bryan Bickell.

Corey Crawford is stable in net and the Hawks are led by one of hockey’s greatest coaches, Joel Quenneville. The Hawks are poised to win their third Cup in the last six seasons.

Bombers blown away by ‘Canes UNB defeated by Holland College; fall to 1-3 Sarah Rouse Sports Reporter True to their name, the Holland College Hurricanes blew through the University of New Brunswick’s defence on Saturday afternoon, defeating the Red Bombers by a score of 50-24 in front of a small but dedicated crowd at BMO Centre.

The Red Bombers started off the game strong in the first quarter, and were first on the board with a field goal in the eighth minute of play.

Unfortunately for the Bombers, the early lead did not last long with the

Hurricanes striking back less than two minutes later thanks to a touchdown from standout Jaylen McRae. They also ran in the ball for a conversion worth two points.

The quarter ended with a score of 15-3 for Holland College following a touchdown by Quentin Mitchell, which was successfully converted.

Nevertheless, the Red Bombers came out ready to play in the second quarter, with big plays early on from both Cody Stewart and Zac Chambers.

Mitch McCoy scored UNB’s first touchdown four minutes in, which

was converted by Zac Cann.

The excitement didn’t last long, however, as the Hurricanes capitalized almost immediately on UNB’s sloppy defensive play. Jeff Hillier, who was left unguarded in the end zone, brought the score to 22-10 for Holland College.

The Hurricanes gained momentum with an interception by Steve Knapton, which led to another touchdown at the five minute mark of the second quarter.

Event Managment continued...

Edwardsalsoaspirestomaintainaprofessional atmosphere throughout the class, by utilizing situationsthatwouldactuallyoccurwithinthe sports management field.

“Rather than having an informal in-class discussion following Homecoming, for example, we instead held a mock executive meeting where we went over what worked and what didn’t. This allowed the students to understand how the debriefing process works within the business world.”

While the main emphasis of the course lies within the experiential settings, the students are also encouraged to improve upon their written communication skills through a number of assignments.

“Ourlargestassignmentistocreateanevent managementplanthatwillbegiventotheRed Bombers management team at the end of the year. This will include suggestions for Home-

coming — mapping out everything from ticket sales to marketing and sponsorships.”

Students are also responsible for creating a number of press releases for the team, which can be found on the Red Bombers website each week. This assignment is graded based onhowwelltheyarearticulatedandtheclarity of the overall message, as well as the usage of specific “catch phrases” that are used within the industry.

Finally, each student also submits a fivepage log following each game which includes what went well and what could use improvement at the event, as well as what they have learned thus far from the experience.

As the course facilitator, Edwards aspires to help his students develop a host of skills in the areas of leadership, management, communication and organization.

“I hope that the students will come out of the course with the understanding that

event management is not comprised solely of the big picture, highlight-reel type roles,” said Edwards. “In actuality, there are so many small logistical issues that managers have to deal with, such as how to handle volunteers who do not show up at their designated time.

How will they ensure that the tasks are still handled in a timely and organized manner?

“I believe that the Event Management course will grant students the skills necessary to deal with these issues and to become more marketable in the competitive field of Sports Management following graduation.”

In its first year, the course is relatively small, with around eight students. The class is primarily made up of upper-year RSS students; however, it is open to any student with an interest in event management. The course is also a component of the combined MBA in Sports and Recreation Management graduate program.

14 seconds remaining, narrowing the Hurricanes’ lead to 12.

The third quarter was rocky for both teams, with plenty of missed opportunities and fumbled passes. The sole scoring of the third came from Holland College’s Eugene McMinns to bring the lead up to 36-17.

Entering the fourth quarter down by 19, McCoy had the play of the game with some fancy footwork that earned the Red Bombers an early touchdown.

The highlight reel play gave the home team new life, with Reece Clowater landing a huge tackle and Cody Stewart coming up with a diving catch to put the Red Bombers deep in enemy territory. UNB couldn’t capitalize though, and a series of sloppy plays led to a touchdown for Hurricanes player Layton Aitken. This brought the score to 42-24 Holland College.

Although McCoy and Stewart both looked to have promising chances late in the game, the Hurricanes earned the final points of the afternoon, with an end-to-end rush from McMinns.

That made the final score 50-24 for the Hurricanes.

The loss dropped UNB’s record to 1-3 this Atlantic Football League season.

McCoy believed Saturday’s game was a disappointing setback following

the team’s exciting homecoming win against UNBSJ the previous weekend.

“On one hand, our offence really succeeded in driving the ball this game,” said McCoy. “We gave our quarterback Brendan Cornford time and space to make plays, and even when we couldn’t he still scrambled well and found targets on the field.”

The team’s main issues were primarily on the defensive end, with too many missed tackles and opponents left unmanned.

“When it comes down to it, we just can’t give up 50 points in a game. 24 points wasn’t too bad on the offensive end, but we lost the game on the defensive side.”

The two teams had faced each other once already this season, with the Hurricanes taking a 37-20 win at home on Sept. 21.

“Our offence has definitely improved since that game, but our defence suffered today and our special teams didn’t play to our full potential,” stated McCoy. The Bombers will return to the BMO Centre on Saturday with a 1 p.m. matchup against Dalhousie University. The teams previously met in their season opener, with the Tigers edging the Reds Bombers 31-25 in a close game.

V-Reds finish 2-1 at weekend basketball tournament Following two wins, Reds drop finale in OT to Capers

Jamie Tozer Sports Editor A 101-94 overtime loss to the Cape Breton Capers on Sunday afternoon cost the UNB Varsity Reds a perfect weekend.

UNB led by 16 points entering the third quarter on Sunday but the Capers were able to get back into the game, tying things at 87-87 with 10 seconds left in regulation.

The Reds had control of the ball in the final seconds but were unable to convert on two opportunities.

The Reds and Capers were tied at 91-91 with 2:30 left in overtime.

But Cape Breton would then take the lead and never look back.

Overall, UNB had a good showing at the annual Eric Garland Tournament held at the Richard J. Currie Center. The Reds opened the tournament on Friday with a 82-76 victory over the Université du Québec à Montréal and then defeated the UPEI Panthers 96-82 on Saturday.

“I’m happy with what we got out of the weekend,” said head coach Brent Baker following Sunday’s game. “We did some good things.

Our newer players came on and did a pretty good job so I’m really happy with that.”

Although the team suffered a tough loss to end the tournament, Baker said he thinks his players will use it as motivation and show that no lead is safe.

In the fourth, UQAM made a push in the f inal few minutes but UNB was able to hang for an 82-76 victory.

Masters led the way for UNB with 35 poi nts a nd was named t h e Va r s i t y R eds player of the game. Greishe Clerjuste took home top player honours for the Citadins, posting a team high 25 points.

On Saturday, the Reds were dynamite in the first half, scoring 31 in the first quarter alone. UNB

led UPEI 51-30 at the half with Javon Masters putting up 10 points and Will McFee seven.

The Reds cooled down a bit in the third, allowing the Panthers to put up 33 points and get back into the game. But UNB would grab some momentum back in the fourth and take the win by score of 96-82.

McFee had a UNB high 29 points and was named the team’s player of the game. Tyler Scott, who registered a game high 32 points, was named UPEI’s top player of the match.

This was UNB’s first exhibition action of the 2014-15 campaign.

Baker liked some of the things he saw but the team is far from perfect.

“I think we’re a little better than maybe I would have projected.

But there are also some glaring weaknesses that we really have to address.”

The Varsity Reds have seven preseason games left on their schedule.

The team travels to Ontario to take on Toronto, York and Ryerson from Oct. 17-19 before travelling to Cape Breton for three games from Oct. 24-26. The Reds then host Crandall University on Oct. 29.

UNB opens the regular season Friday, Nov. 7 at the Currie Center against Acadia University.

Falling for the first time Women’s soccer suffers first loss of 2014 season Jamie Tozer Sports Editor The Thanksgiving weekend break is coming at a perfect time for the UNB Varsity Reds women’s soccer team.

After defeating the Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus 3-1 on the road on Friday night, the Varsity Reds lost for the first time this season on Sunday afternoon at BMO Centre, falling 1-0 to the Dalhousie Tigers.

“Obviously we’re disappointed that it’s over,” coach Jon Crossland said about his team’s unbeaten streak coming to an end. “The silver lining at the end of this is that we’re going to wake up tomorrow morning and we’re still going to be in first place.

“We’ve got four games after the break and we’re going to control our own destiny.”

The loss dropped UNB’s record to 6-1-2 on the Atlantic University Sport season, placing them atop the standings with 20 minutes. Acadia also has 20 points but has played an additional game and has one fewer win.

The V-Reds don’t play again

until Oct. 17 when they take on the UPEI Panthers in Charlottetown.

Their next home game is on Oct. 19 against Moncton.

Not only did the Varsity Reds have their undefeated streak come to an end, the team also enters the break a bit banged up. Veteran goalkeeper Sami-Jo Bell, who had played every minute for the Reds this season heading into this weekend’s action, was injured in Friday’s match.

She was unable to play on Sunday and will be reevaluated this week.

In Friday’s game, all of UNB’s scoring came within a 19-minute span in the first half. Kayla Painter opened things up with a goal just over a minute into the match. Sam Lagacy then scored in the 10th and 19th minute to give the Varsity Reds a quick 3-0 advantage.

The Aigles Bleus got on the board in the 21st minute as Emilie Naugle connected to make it a 3-1 game.

But that would be as close as the home team would get.

UNB had nine shots in the opening half and outshot UdeM 14-7 overall.

Bell left the match in the 24th minute with an apparent leg injury.

Bell, who transferred to UNB this

season from Sa int Mar y’s, was replaced by rookie keeper Rebecca Duda.

“When Sami got hurt it kind of broke us a bit and it shouldn’t have,” said Crossland. “We had a really good start and managed to hang on to that start.

“Duda came in and made a couple big saves for us.”

On Sunday on home turf, UNB’s first good chance of the game came in the 26th minute when a ball was centered in the box but no Varsity Red could get a foot on it. In the 35th minute, Painter fired a strike but Tigers goalkeeper Katie Morgan was in a perfect spot to make the save.

Dalhousie opened the scoring in the 36th minute as Scarlet Smith knocked the ball in past Duda. The Tigers did a good job at containing the V-Reds in the first half. Shots in the first were 4-3 in favour of the Tigers.

The Reds applied some pressure in the second half and created a couple quality scoring chances but couldn’t net an equalizer. Duda also came up big a few times, giving the Reds a chance to tie things.

Shots in the game were 7-4 in

favour of the Tigers.

The win improved Dalhousie to 5-3-1 on the season.

“That’s a very good team,” Crossland said of Dalhousie. “They were

probably underachieving based on their win-loss record. We knew they were going to be a good team.”

Reds show early signs of promise Jamie Tozer Sports Editor After missing the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) playoffs last season with a 5-15 record, the UNB Varsity Reds women’s basketball team showed signs of promise this past weekend.

In the annual Helen Campbell Tournament held at the R ichard J. Currie Center, the Varsity Reds came away with a 2-1 record. After losing their f irst game 68-56 to the Concordia Stingers on Friday, the team rebounded with a narrow 70-69 win over the Ryerson Rams on Saturday and a 65-56 win over the Cape Breton Capers on Sunday.

“I think we’ve only won one or no games in this tournament for three or four years so the fact that we won two was definitely a step in the right direction,” said head coach Jeff Speedy following Sunday’s contest.

“I think we beat two pretty good teams and had a chance to beat a third one. We’re pretty pleased.”

but ultimately fell short, 68-56, to the Stingers. The Reds trailed by three after the first quarter and four after the second and third.

Concordia’s Kaylah Barrett stole the show, registering 30 points — 19 of which came in the second half — in her team’s win. She was named player of the game for the Stingers while Nicole LaFleur picked up top player honours for the Reds.

On Saturday, UNB got off to a good start and led 24-15 after the first quarter and 38-26 at the half.

The Rams began to chip away at the Reds’ lead in the third and UNB led by just 49-45 heading into the final quarter. With two minutes left in the match, Ryerson made a late push and took a 65-64 lead with 1:36 left. But a Grace Wade jump shot less than 10 seconds later put UNB back in front and they would stay there, hanging on for a 70-69 victory.

Wade, who came off the bench a nd recorded n ine points, was named UNB’s player of the game.

Mariah Nunes, with 19 points, was named Ryerson’s top player.

UNB picked up their second win of the weekend on Sunday. The Reds put up 19 points in both the second and third quarters in the 6556 victory over Cape Breton.

Cape Breton’s A lison Keough put up a game high 27 points while K atelynn Mangold led UNB in scoring with 11 points.

Up next for the V-Reds women’s squad is the Don Grant Classic which takes place Oct. 24-26 in Moncton. They’ll face Nipissing along with AUS foes Acadia and UPEI. Speedy said his team has some things to work on.

“We have to rebound the basketball better for sure. Our offensive rebounding is not even close to being good enough yet and our offensive execution needs a lot of work. We scored a lot by individuals doing some special things but we need to run a better offence so we have easier shots.”

U NB opens the AUS regular season at home on Friday, Nov. 7 at 6 p.m. against Acadia.
