Queen’s receives $31.7-million investment towards Innovation and Wellness Centre Government of Canada donation will support two capital projects on campus Blake Canning Assistant News Editor As the first member of Queen’s administration stepped up to the podium on Tuesday, a hush fell over the crowd of attendees that had been invited to hear the latest funding announcement from Queen’s.

In attendance at the announcement, which took place in the atrium of Beamish-Munro Hall, were Principal Daniel Woolf, MP Mark Gerretsen and MPP Sophie Kiwala.

In the wake of several substantial monetary announcements since Sept.

1, the high-profile individuals announced that Queen’s received a $31.7-million investment from the Canadian government, to support two major capital projects — a new Innovation and Wellness Centre and revitalized research facilities.

Interior construction on the proposed Wellness Centre began

at the site of the existing Physical Education Centre (PEC) at the beginning of September and is expected to be completed by spring of 2018.

The decision was made to move forward with the Wellness Centre — which was part of a set of mental health recommendations made in 2012 — as well as the revitalization of Queen’s research facilities during a July 14 meeting of the Queen’s Board of Trustees.

However, with a total cost of approximately $119 million, the two projects relied on securing the proper funding and capital to move forward.

The first of the two projects,

the Wellness Centre, will include portions of the faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, exam accommodation spaces, Athletics and Recreation and a replacement of the existing wellness clinic currently in the LaSalle building.

The wellness services included will be focused on delivering aid across the spectrum of wellness services including health, counselling, sexual assault and mental health-related services.

Aside from the funding and artist renderings of the building, no further details were given during the announcement of how space

This year’s Homecoming will look and feel very different from the first edition of the vaunted Queen’s tradition, held 90 years ago in 1926.

The size of the school, the number of people in attendance and the schedule of events will be many degrees away from the first alumni reunion.

But one thing hasn’t changed. Even after 90 years the Saturday afternoon football game is still the centrepiece of Homecoming weekend.

According to Queen’s historian Duncan McDowall, Homecoming was started as a meeting to bring alumni back together. As students started moving further afield after they graduated, there was a desire to reconnect with their school and peers, and a weekend modelled after what American schools had already put in place was conceived.

It was a busy weekend, with banquets and year gatherings, but McDowall unequivocally stated that the football game became the “pinnacle” of the weekend, an intense spectacle full of tradition and pride. It was in the early years of Homecoming that the much-loved and now-altered alumni parade started, and other aspects of Queen’s lore, such as the grease pole, emerged out of the pageantry of the weekend.

1955 provided one of the great moments in Homecoming history when a long-suffering Queen’s team found instant success with the mysterious arrival of a talented See Tracing on page 10

Postdocs plan strike vote

A Q&A with Benoit-Antoine Bacon

Focus is on a negotiated agreement, Queen’s says Mikayla Wronko Features Editor

Catching up with the newly-transitioned Provost

Provost Benoit-Antoine Bacon on the Queen’s campus.

Victoria Gibson News Editor After Queen’s bid goodbye to former Provost Alan Harrison at the end of July, it ushered in a brand new face. As of Aug. 1, Benoit-Antoine Bacon joined the University as its newest provost.

Chatting with The Journal via email, Bacon discussed his new position, growing up French-Canadian and the landscape of modern universities.

You're still in the early weeks of your new job. To start, we'd love if you could tell us a little bit about your path here.

country. What has the shift to Kingston been like? How has living in a bilingual, and arguably bi-cultural, part of Canada impacted the way you approach your job and every day happenings?

I’m French Canadian by birth but was encouraged by my father, a business executive and an anglophile, to study in English. This has obviously had a major impact in my life.

Being born and raised in Montreal, I used both languages interchangeably, often in the same sentence. I think the Canadian reality today is much larger than the French-English divide, and that we must always strive to be inclusive of all people regardless of origin and mother tongue.

The reality is that humans are a single group that shares the same DNA and the same small home, the Earth. It is the main challenge of the 21st century to work together towards sustaining our living conditions.

Through both their research and teaching missions, universities can contribute to solving these issues. I take heart in the fact that our students are both more aware and more concerned about these issues than I was at that age.

My first academic appointment was in the department of psychology at Bishop’s University. I love teaching phychology and conducting research in visual neuroscience and I think I would still be doing just that — if not for a major crisis that hit Bishop’s in the mid-2000s.

To make a long story short, a combination of awful labour relations, enrolment drop, financial instability and reputational fallout had brought Bishop’s to a very low point.

With the arrival of a new principal, there was a chance to rebuild, so I got involved first as chief negotiator on the union side, and then as chair of psychology, dean of Arts As Provost, a good deal of the and Science and associate vice-principal circumstances you're faced with won't (AVP) research. have a clear-cut 'right' answer.

consulting widely and being clear and transparent as to what the challenges and opportunities are.

When facing a hard choice, you have to go back to your mission and to fundamental principles, and that almost always informs and clarifies the best path to take.

What do you think are the biggest issues students face? How will you work towards remedying these issues in your role?

I think the biggest challenge for anyone today, young or old, is to decide for oneself how much of the modern world to let into our lives.

We have evolved from a very different world and there is a tension between our inner nature and our twenty-first century circumstances. These questions take different forms, from what to eat, to alcohol and drug use, to social media involvement and consumerism.

We are far from nature and uncertain about the future. I have found gratitude for being and for the natural world to be the most helpful bridge across this tension. Maybe the biggest issue is finding gratitude and holding on to it.

You've also mentioned that you have a young daughter yourself. What would be your biggest hope and biggest concern for her on a university campus, years down the road?

My biggest hope is that my daughter will come to university in the spirit of intellectual curiosity and discovery, including self-discovery.

This is the only path to success in a university, whether you are a student, professor or provost. I would worry if I felt she only enrolled to get a degree, or to satisfy people other than herself, and was not engaged with the wonder of her own work and her own mind.

As of Oct. 5, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) — the union representing Queen’s post-doctoral scholars — say that Queen’s ceased contract negotiation with them. In turn, PSAC will be conducting strikes votes on Oct. 13, 14 and 17.

In an email statement, Craig Berggold, Local 901 president, wrote that Queen’s current offer is insufficient for postdocs living in states of poverty.

“They are also unwilling to extend to us childcare benefits that are comparable to other salaried employees on campus. We are struggling to pay our rent and many of us are even relying on foodbanks to make ends meet,” Berggold wrote.

There are currently 175 post-doctoral scholars working at the University, with the current minimum salary being $32,174. These individuals work full time in research and scholarship, and are often pursuing a full-time academic or research career.

Sharon DeSousa, PSAC Ontario regional executive vice-president, wrote in the statement that this issue is about treating workers fairly, with respect and dignity.

“How can Queen’s University justify receiving valuable research from its postdocs and yet condemn them to struggle on a daily basis to pay their bills?”

When contacted by The Journal, interim Associate Vice-Principal (Faculty Relations) Dan McKeown wrote that the University values the contributions of its employees and remains committed to fair and respectful collective bargaining processes.

“We believe that our most recent proposal has addressed all of the concerns raised by the union during our negotiations,” he wrote.

“Our proposal on minimum salary would ensure that post-doctoral fellows at Queen’s continue to be among the best compensated post-doctoral fellows under Canadian collective agreements.”

In his opinion, the offered childcare benefit proposal is comparable to those given to other employee groups at Queen’s.

Professional development funds were also offered.

“The University has also proposed an arrangement that would provide post-doctoral fellows and their family members with direct access to a family physician in Kingston,” he wrote.

“During the most recent meeting with the union, it requested a 25 per cent increase in the minimum salary in the first year alone — far exceeding the proposal that the University had tabled.”

McKeown said the University is focused on reaching a negotiated agreement.

will be allocated to each service within the building.

According to the press kit provided by Queen’s during the announcement, the co-location of innovation and wellness services “will blend academic, recreational and other student life activities, and will emphasize to our students

the important relationships that connect mental health, physical well-being and academic success.”

“Today’s investment is about more than physical buildings.

It’s about providing students with access to new experiences,” Kimberly Woodhouse, dean of the Engineering faculty, said in her address to the crowd.

Speaking to The Journal,

Principal Daniel Woolf outlined the finer points of what he hopes the Innovation and Wellness Centre will accomplish.

“The way the new one is designed, you simply will not be able to tell whether students are going in to see a doctor, counsellor, or just go into a class or for a cup of coffee, so it will de-stigmatize people coming from there.”

When asked about the effect that he hoped this new development would have on the student body, Woolf said that “we’ve known for some time that the facilities down on Stuart St. were built in a former time for a smaller university, not really adequate, and in a time when we didn’t know nearly as much about mental health issues on campus.”

As for the research revitalization, biomedical research facilities dispersed across-campus will be improved for use by Queen’s research groups for neurological, cardiovascular and cancer-related breakthroughs.

Construction has begun on the former PEC location and can be seen along Union Street across from Gordon Hall.

I feel my life has “entirely changed, once I came here. ”

IN-DEPTH STORIES FROM AROUND CAMPUS AND IN THE COMMUNITY

JOURNEY

A long way from home From Syria, to Jordan, to first-year engineering at Queen’s Victoria Gibson News Editor Yaman Alankar’s childhood home may no longer exist.

Tucked into the Syrian suburb of Zamalka, on a Friday morning the house would fill with the smell of cooking fūl, a bean breakfast dish simmered together with tomatoes, lemons and sauces.

Alankar is the baby of his family. Two older brothers, three older sisters, and more relatives than he could easily count would cook together amid the scents of shawarma and falafel.

It’s been just over a month since he arrived in Canada without any of them by his side. Sitting in The Journal’s office at Queen’s, Alankar shook his head.

“My village is destroyed now. I don’t know if my home still stands or not.”

Home has been a transient idea for Alankar since those days in Zamalka. After the war began in Syria, he moved to the capital of Damascus only to escape the violence by fleeing to Jordan. Now, years down the line, home is in Victoria Hall.

“I feel my life has entirely changed, once I came here.”

Now a first-year engineering student, a bag filled with notes was tucked to the side of his chair as he tells stories of his postlife.

Alankar’s time at university is just beginning — but, it’s been a long road for the young engineering student, a long road away from home.

The Alankar family left Zamalka because of the war. “The bombs, people killing each other, the government using all kinds of weapons, all kinds of airplanes,” Alankar listed.

He had grown up in the village, despite being born in the city. It’s where he made his earliest memories. But, in the fall of 2013, the news broke of the Ghouta chemical attack — where sarin-filled rockets killed over 1,000 people, according to some estimates.

That same year, his family had uprooted to Damascus.

“There’s no, how I can say it?” he says, rolling his hands in search of the right words. “Like, not two people facing each other every day. But the government can pick anyone, for any reason, and put him in prison. If the government kills him, he will be lucky.”

He himself isn’t against the government, he clarified. “But this is how it was.”

Still, he went to school — though it wasn’t easy. By his estimate, it was hardly ever a week or two between bombs dropping or cars exploding in close proximity to the school’s property.

There were days when it was too dangerous to leave the house, and days where the classroom would lose members.

“I lost my friend who was next to me in the seat.”

Yaman Alankar standing in front of Grant Hall on Queen’s campus, holds up a photo of his previous home in Syria.

At this point, Alankar paused and asked if it was alright to continue. “I don’t want to talk about the politics too much. It’s very complicated, but that’s what I saw and what I dealt with.”

The electricity would routinely be cut off or damaged in the deteriorating city. For Alankar, the blackouts were reason to take the power into his own hands, “try to fix it,” he explained.

I don’t want to talk “about politics too much.

It’s very complicated, but that’s what I saw and what I dealt with.

”

He and his oldest brother fashioned a device to fix the electricity of the phone lines. “We opened a workshop in different houses. Three houses. And we made 1,700 pieces, and we sold them.”

His interest in fixing things, as it turns out, would far outlast the single year he spent in Damascus.

As the war grew, so did the wish to get out.

In 2013, the family was left with two options — either stay in the capital or flee to Jordan. “It was the only place that accepted Syrians at that time,” Alankar explained.

His brother left first, followed shortly after by Alankar, his mother, father and sister. The others were to follow suit shortly.

However, after a month, another brother was denied at the Jordanian border and months later flew to Turkey with his wife and children.

Another sister left Damascus through Turkey to safety in Austria.

Turkey, Alankar explained, was relatively easy to access by air travel. However, for many, it was

just too expensive, and the other methods of travel were both illegal and dangerous.

For three years in Jordan, Alankar, his parents and his sister were separated from the rest of their family.

“Because we’re Syrian, we aren’t allowed to go out of Jordan and return,” he explained, “it’s very hard to stay away from your brothers and sisters.”

Family aside, life in Jordan was hard. “I lived there three years, and it was an awful three years,” Alankar admitted. “It was very difficult, because everything there is very difficult. It’s like a prison without walls.”

He recalled racism, fear and discrimination. They were unable to work legally, forcing the family to take jobs under the table.

“You work illegally, and if the government picks you, they do many things. Maybe send you back to a camp, or to Syria sometimes.

Sometimes you get put in prison for a week,” he said.

It was a great shame, he said, to see the similarities between Jordanians and Syrians ignored.

“They’re Arab, they speak the same language. There are so many similarities in the traditions and cultures.”

However, he found a handful of individuals in Jordan who welcomed him. “They really helped me to achieve,” he said with a smile. “They pushed me to determine my goals.”

He began to learn English, a subject he’d had a foggy background in from his school in Syria.

After completing eleventh and twelfth grade in Jordan, he began to look for chances to study further.

“University is very expensive there.

I looked for a scholarship, but I couldn’t find any unfortunately,” he said.

After a pause, he smiled. “Now, actually, fortunately. It’s brought me here.”

“Who would refuse to go to Canada, the chance?” Alankar asked with a laugh.

Amid bleak memories of Jordan, Alankar recalled one that lit up the dismal situation, a message from the World University Service of Canada’s (WUSC) student refugee program.

A year before, he had sent in an application and braced himself for a long waiting period. As it turns out, it was only a single month.

Following an English proficiency test, language classes and an interview-round, he was given the green light to apply to Canadian universities.

While it wasn’t a university acceptance just yet, it was a step.

Acceptance into WUSC’s program meant assistance with the embassy, with travel documentation and with applications to schools. Alankar was eventually accepted to Queen’s as an engineering student.

People called me a “friend.

I never heard refugee, the refugee word, from anyone.

”

Better still, the University offered to sponsor his education entirely.

“It was so very good,” he recalled, a smile breaking out across his face. “I jumped up from happiness, actually.”

He was flown across the world with a handful of other young refugees. A pair of them struck up a friendship on the way over and were picked up from the airport together when they landed.

“The first day, I felt like I was in an American movie. Everything is different, and all people speak English, and what’s going on?” he said, laughing at the memory.

“In the first week, I didn’t understand anything,” he said, noting how quickly the engineering professors would talk in lectures. “But, I’m getting better.

People here are very kind. And they’re willing to help. You’ll never get lost in Canada.”

In larger groups, conversation was still difficult and his peers spoke in quick slang often. “I just want to communicate with others, and to understand everything, but I can’t,” he said.

But one-on-one people were patient with English as his second language. In his first week in residence, he said he felt more at home than anywhere else he’s been on his long road here.

“People called me a friend,” he recounted happily. “I never heard refugee, the refugee word, from anyone. In Jordan, I was there three years and they still called us refugees.”

“If I get a chance to get a better job here, I’ll stay in Canada and try to bring my family here,” Alankar said. “They don’t have any chance to get out of Jordan, and I have a sister in Syria still.”

“I hope to succeed, first of all, in my degree with good marks.

After that, I will be proud to be a Syrian-Canadian citizen, and I hope to get a job and to make something useful to my country,” he said. “My country Syria, and my country Canada.”

“The weather is so beautiful,” he said. Even a warning that it’ll soon be much colder hardly dampened Alankar’s spirits.

“Ah, but you can do many things in the snow!” he said.

“You can skate! I like everything here. Everything.”

EDITORIALS It’s not all in the numbers The Journal’s Perspective

Uneven faculty male-to-female ratios need nipping in the bud

G

ender disparities in engineering may be the result of a larger cultural issue, but relieving the impact on students isn’t out of the University’s hands.

A feature published in The Journal last week showed that for some female engineering students in the faculty’s least gender-balanced discipline — electrical and computer engineering (ECE) — they aren’t just the statistical minority, but they also face sexism at the hands of professors and peers alike.

It’s difficult to arrive at the root cause of an issue that is so ongoing and complex. It could be a catch-22 — the idea of being one of a handful of girls in the program deterring prospective female students, only further perpetuating the disparity.

Part of the cause may also be traced back to the lack of female representation in positions of authority within the program.

Whatever the root cause, it’s clear the issue is bigger than Queen’s — the lack of women in ECE mirrors a culture that identifies STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields with maleness and often other fields, such as the Humanities and Arts, with femininity.

It’s useful to consider another example, such as the Faculty of Nursing. Nursing has historically been known to have a large gender disparity, a majority of the students being female — perhaps

because nursing is identified as a “caring” field and thus labeled as typically feminine.

The flipped scenario may allow for those unable to find fault in the lack of women in ECE to put it into perspective. By looking at both sides of gender disparity, a key question emerges — why and how is gender a marker of someone’s ability to be in a certain field of study?

Although the reasons for the disparity may differ between ECE and nursing, the

answer isn’t in adding more female or male bodies to classrooms, because much of the statistical issue stems from an ongoing cultural problem. A cultural issue may seem out of the scope of University administration, but the solution of making learning and course content more inclusive is well within faculty’s reach.

In this way, Queen’s has a vital role to play in ensuring students feel welcome before arriving as well as once they get here.

There are two specific areas that deserve the university’s focus: prospective students observing gender-disparate disciplines as a potential option and students currently studying in environments where they are a minority.

In the case of ECE, whether done through establishing more scholarships and grants for women in STEM or looking more closely at how engineering professors can cultivate a more welcoming space for female students, Queen’s can do more than what it’s currently doing.

It’s easy to shift the blame for discrepancies onto women choosing fields other than STEM, but it’s important to remember that the problem isn’t making a different choice, it’s when someone’s gender discourages them from having a choice at all.

The question worth asking is why a system exists that inhibits the right to choose by telling students what field they’re supposed to be passionate about.

Face-to-face learning doesn’t need replacing

It’s easy to get distracted by fancy gadgets and the convenience of online resources, but face-to-face learning is more effective.

Blended learning allows for students to spend less time in lectures and tutorials and more time completing their studies online.

This could include anything from watching videos instead of attending a lecture, to doing quizzes and assignments through the school’s online portal.

Incorporating online elements into lecture-style courses has become popular over the past few years as institutions feel the pressure to accommodate to technological advances and add to the student experience.

But with blended learning on the rise in universities, we shouldn’t — Journal Editorial Board forget the irreplaceable merits of the physical classroom.

My first encounter with blended learning was in my first-year calculus course.

The first lecture of each week was a review of questions from the previous week, which were only available online. In the second lecture, you could ask questions about the next week’s assigned homework and answer clicker questions. The rest of the learning was done online through one to two hours of videos, a pre-class questionnaire and a small quiz.

Talking heads ... around campus

Alumni traditions left behind in Richardson revitalization

What’s your essential Queen’s Homecoming gear?

David Sinkinson, ArtSci '11 I remember going to my first Homecoming football game at Queen’s when I was 10 years old.

My brother was playing in the game and the crowd was roaring. I couldn’t believe the spirit and enthusiasm that emanated from the students and alumni in the stands.

But for me, the best part was yet to come.

I’d never seen the halftime parade before so I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew that I should be thrilled. My parents waited in eager anticipation and their excitement carried onto me.

Then suddenly, my 10-year-old self was shocked to see an army of incredibly excited purple students and their friends take the field and slam their jackets in salute of an older looking group that was moving around the stadium. I saw the alumni march by the crowd that saluted them and waved back with pride. My father told me it happened every year; it was an incredible sight and the best part of an amazing day.

Growing up in Kingston, I dreamed of going to my hometown school and the Homecoming parade was just more incentive. I wanted to follow in the footsteps of my family. They went to Queen’s and immersed themselves in the remarkable school spirit and I wanted nothing more than to be able to do the same. I knew from that day on I wanted to be part of a school that so passionately celebrated the people who attended it.

When they were students, my family members each got their turn to salute alumni at the Homecoming football game. Years later they would march around the track in pride with their classmates. In fact, five years ago during my mother’s 40th reunion football parade she met a friend of hers she hadn’t seen since she lived on her floor in Adelaide Hall in first year.

But now my mother isn’t going to her 45th year reunion, because, without the parade during the football game, she sees no point in returning.

With nothing more than a brief article on the Queen’s Alumni website, entitled End Of Homecoming Half-Time Parade Brings New Opportunities For AlumniStudent Interaction, that tradition was

scrapped. The parade through campus will continue, however, it will stop short outside the gates of the newly revitalized Richardson Stadium.

The article provides little-to-no reasoning for the decision, masking the issue in seemingly more positive changes to Homecoming tradition — like new stadium seating arrangements.

I’d never seen the halftime “ parade before so I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew that I should be thrilled.

”

Due to the lack of any explanation, I’m forced to speculate as to why the University made this decision.

I’d imagine there are a few concerns regarding the parade. However, in the eyes of this alum, I don’t see how they can justify ending this essential tradition.

The most likely cause of the cancellation is the new field and the fear that a parade may damage it. Surely a 25-minute parade will not cause significant damage? Regardless, this seems absurd; a field is literally meant to be tread on.

Secondly, it’s possible that they don’t want the parade because there isn’t a track anymore. While this is true, I’m confident that logistically this can be overcome. In fact, I’m fairly certain that the football team will have a rubber mat under-foot to protect the sidelines of the field. Could the University not position more of these mats so alumni can walk on them? That way you have both room for alumni and protection of the turf.

Turf should not overrule one of the most cherished Queen’s traditions.

Third, the University is likely worried about the personal security of students and alumni. However, this never prevented the parade before, so why now? Anyone who attended knows that while students did rush the field to salute alumni, they also quickly vacated the field before the start of the second half. It was never out of hand, students and alumni respected that fun was had and it was time to watch the rest of the game and cheer on their Gaels.

Further, and no disrespect to Queen’s great athletics program, the parade is

JOURNAL FILE PHOTOS

probably the most important 25 minutes of the Homecoming game.

The great irony here is that the stadium improvements were mostly paid for by alumni, including “a lead gift of $10 million from Queen’s alumni Stu Lang, Sci ’74, and Kim Lang, ArtSci ’76” as stated on the school website.

That generosity is truly incredible and yet the University saw fit to reward such a contribution, along with many others, by denying an alumni-specific event which is steeped in tradition. It’s immensely disappointing and confusing.

I’m left to wonder if the alumni would’ve been as supportive as they’d been had they known that the new stadium would end a tradition that they themselves have likely participated in for many years.

The Queen’s website also states that donations for the revitalization of the stadium from alumni or alumni-driven funds was around $17 million while the University invested an additional $3 million for infrastructure support.

“

Surely a 25-minute parade will not cause significant damage?

Regardless, this seems absurd; a field is literally meant to be tread on.

”

With 85 per cent of the stadium paid for by alumni and all the countless other reasons, it’s easy to tell that the decision to eliminate the Homecoming parade from its inclusion in the football game was made by someone who didn’t take into consideration the magnitude of what exactly they were denying.

Queen’s needs to bring back the Homecoming parade in its original fashion so we can continue to honour our alumni who have always done so much for the University in one of the most unique traditions possible.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Re: Queen’s needs on transparency

a

lesson

The university is committed to transparency and is happy to provide The Journal with information and responses to inquiries. In fact, administrators typically receive several requests per week from The Journal, and do their best to respond in a timely fashion. The examples used in the editorial “Queen’s needs a lesson on transparency,” all have something in common: they relate to employment matters. As an employer, the university has legal and contractual obligations to protect the personal information and privacy of its employees. The university also has an obligation to preserve the integrity of any legal processes that may be underway.

Fulfilling these obligations should not be confused with an unwillingness to be transparent.

ARTS AGNES

An artistic icon meets an artistic ignoramus Mikayla Wronko Features Editor I admit I’m no art connoisseur.

A week ago if you had said “Rembrandt” to me, I’d probably reply, “Remember what?”

The only artist I can name is Andy Warhol and that’s only because I really like Campbell’s chicken noodle soup.

In spite of this, I decided to get slightly more cultured and take a trip to the Agnes Etherington Art Centre to see what all the hype for this Rembrandt guy was about.

When I first arrived at the gallery, the first thing that stood out to me wasn’t so much the art on display but how tall the ceilings were.

On a singular wall, there are the three Rembrandt paintings spaced

out: Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo, Head of an Old Man in a Cap and Head of a Man in a Turban (Study for a Rabbi?).

Personally, I don’t think the titles are too creative and I’m still unsure if (Study for a Rabbi?) is a question or not.

Staring at the paintings in front of me in the massively empty room for about two minutes, I thought to myself, ‘now what do I do?’

Maybe I should have gone with friends to discuss the painting or maybe I wasn’t asking the right questions when I was looking at the portraits. What if I’m a caricature millennial that can’t interact with anything without a screen? So I looked harder.

Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo is placed dead center in the wall and featured a melancholy

man painted in different shades of brown.

The unknown man, with his arm on his hip, had a face that said, “Am I posing right? Rembrandt, do you like this pose? I’m not sure I do.”

Arms Akimbo was between Head of an Old Man and Head of a Man in a Turban and I think I’m being generous when I say that these two paintings were the size of drink coasters.

Unlike the man with a deer-in-the-headlight look, both the Head of an Old Man and Head of a Man in a Turban were looking off in the distance as if they were filming a new music video for R.E.M’s ‘Everybody Hurts’.

Equally as morose as the middling painting, the men in each painting looked miserable.

INDIGENOUS ART

Remembering Annie Pootoogook Looking at images of Inuit life from the late Indigenous artist Alex Palermo and Sophie Hinton Assistant Arts Editor and Contributor On Sept. 19, Annie Pootoogook was found dead in the Rideau River, near Ottawa. But while her death is still under investigation, her influence on the world of Inuk art is unmistakeable.

Pootoogook’s string of artistic successes over the past decade have transformed Inuit art, by using pencil and crayon, she created a window into the lives of the modern Inuit people.

Pootoogook grew up in Cape Dorset, Nunavut. Her grandmother was also an artist, her mother a graphic artist and

her father a carver.

Pootoogook became widely recognized in her own right for her colour pencil drawings depicting realist images from every day Inuit life.

Her works convey both the celebrations and the most tragic moments of life as an Indigenous person in today’s Canada.

Her personal and emotional stories are present in every shape, line and pencil mark of her drawings.

For instance, in one drawing, entitled Memory of My Life: Breaking Bottles (2002), Pootoogook depicts a young woman smashing glass behind a house.

The weight of the subject matter juxtaposed with the relatively

simple style of illustration is a jarring depiction of the normalcy of Pootoogook’s struggle with alcohol and the violence that were a constant forces in her community.

The stories in her work draw a legacy of an influential family of artists. Another piece, entitled Glasses, Pen, Pencil and Eraser (2006) is a portrait her artistic grandmother, Pitseolak Ashoona.

The piece deftly demonstrates the complex stories behind ordinary still-life objects. A pair of black glasses, a single pen, a single pencil and a white eraser are drawn on a table in the piece.

As simple as these objects are, there’s an underlying message that stems from

I couldn’t find it in me to empathize with the dower men painted because of how unrelatable they seemed.

I found these men moody, but they weren’t taking any action or interacting with what troubled them. They stood in the portraits — stagnant. In my experience, when you’re upset, wallowing does little. The Rembrandt portraits, to me, are of men who’re internalizing their sadness and I was bored by their lack of dynamism.

If I had to pin an interpretation to these paintings, these men looked as underwhelmed with their existences as I was with the art.

What was gnawing at them inside? And if there’s an interpretable answer, why should I care?

Probably the only jovial part about these portraits was that the Head of a Man in a Turban (Study for a Rabbi?) had a warm rust colour. Actually, I quite liked the rust colour in the painting, but that was the extent of the warmness.

Perhaps what was most striking for me were descriptions next to each painting. The small paragraphs broke down the composition of the corresponding painting and commented on its significance.

The description for Head of an Old Man in a Cap commented on the importance of his shiny forehead — something that I wouldn’t think twice about.

Now, to me the word ‘Rembrandt’ means a Dutch painter who had a thing for sad men in headwear.

I stared at it.

Nothing the man was wearing related to me and I couldn’t gage what the art was trying to tell me about the man. The textures and dull colours washed over me.

Nothing grabbed me.

Walking into the Agnes with a genuinely open mind, I feel comfortable saying that I don’t vibe well with the sullen self-importance of a Rembrandt exhibition. But I can also say that I went and saw for myself.

I didn’t find a sudden connection to static oil portraiture, but I do understand a historical value in Rembrandt’s longevity. I see his art as a snapshot from the 1600s, providing an interesting comparison to our own depictions of people.

But $60 million worth of historical context? Yep. That’s how much Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo is worth.

Maybe I should invest in some paintbrushes.

Pootoogook’s family history.

Her grandmother wore similar glasses to those shown in the piece and the drawing tools represent the objects through which she expressed herself.

The piece is symbolic of the close relationship she shared with her grandmother as both an artist and a matriarchal figure.

It was powerful drawings like these that won her the prestigious Sobey’s Art Award in 2006, a contemporary art prize for young Canadian artists.

Pootoogook’s minimalist style starkly stands out next to her contemporaries of other Indigenous artists’ common use of bright colours and cultural objects to portray their subject matter.

Her unique style spoke with a new voice, one that can’t be forgotten in the story of Canada’s north despite her loss.

Pootoogook didn’t shy away from heavy or uncomfortable topics.

Her drawings transformed Inuit art as she boldly tackled her subject matter with delicate pastel colours and soft pencil lines.

As Canadian university students, we have a responsibility to remember her as a pillar in Canadian visual art.

While her early death leaves us brokenhearted, the legacy of vibrant art she left behind will make an indelible mark on the Canadian cultural landscape.

AROUND CAMPUS

Creative Expressions: art as a tool to teach Alex Palermo Assistant Arts Editor For the next month, Queen’s campus is home to Creative Expressions, an exhibition that collapses the walls of the classroom into the world of visual art.

The exhibition consists of nine installations, scattered haphazardly around campus and composed of teaching and learning materials.

The intent behind the project is to explore what constitutes art and the effective ways that it can be incorporated into the classroom as an educational tool. At Queen’s, teaching practices are constantly evolving, usually through course design and the study of learning outcomes — often missing out on the creative side of the learning process.

On Wednesday, I set out to see as many installations as I could on my usual route to class. A quick visit to their website equipped me with a map illustrating which buildings and floors the various exhibits occupy.

My first stop was the School of Medicine foyer where a large aquatic painting, entitled Pearls of Wisdom, caught my eye. It illustrates an ocean wave littered with small round objects, people, words and a God-like hand reaching down to scoop them up.

In a description accompanying her painting, Lindsay Davidson from the department of surgery

explains the artwork reflects the learning experience at the School of Medicine.

The “pearls of wisdom” in question are pieces of advice and acknowledgment from faculty members that range from “you will feel helpless” to “you are here because you want to help people”.

Smaller, less jarring pearls float seemingly beneath the surface to represent other lessons about the ups and downs of becoming a doctor.

Then I walked up the street to the Biosciences Complex, which holds an expansive piece in its atrium.

The piece’s size is unmistakable.

It’s composed of layers of clear plastic overhead projector sheets, prints of handwritten due dates and chemical formulas. The sheets are covered with bright orange and green geometric prints.

This is The Artemesia Project: A Significant Residue of Knowledge

by Otis Tamasauskas, professor of Fine Art. The sheets organized in a non-hierarchical order envisioned for me as the viewer a new way of looking at diverse faculties and how we prioritize them.

Tamasauskas’ work on A Significant Residue of Knowledge first began in 1993, and it was revisited and revised this year before its display.

I finally walked across campus to Ontario Hall, the home of the Bachelor of Fine Arts student

studios and the faculty of art history.

Quintin Wight, ArtSci `61, shares the contents of the sketchbooks he filled while taking Art I and Art II in the piece entitled Q in the Studio.

The idea behind the exhibitionistic nature of an open sketchbook was to demonstrate how art history is best appreciated when one is also creating their own art.

Creative Expressions forces an appreciation of art as a learning Pearls of Wisdom reflects the learning tool in the most intuitive way experience at the School of Medicine. possible: through self-discovery and interaction.

As I made my way through campus, guided only by the exhibit map, I tried to recall at which points in my undergraduate education that I or my professors had used art as a educational tool.

I came up empty-handed, but not discouraged.

The art displayed by the various students and professors was inspiring for someone who studies science, but is constantly creating and seeking out art.

I felt I had been let in on a secret that I was relieved to have heard.

Art is not only acceptable, but useful and necessary.

I made my way into my biochemistry lecture hall, sketchbook gripped extra tightly among my lab notes — just in case.

ART IN TRAVEL

Golden treasures illuminate The Belvedere Austrian museum holds impressive collection of Klimts Erika Streisfield Arts Editor

A print of Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss.

Standing amidst masterpieces can make you feel minuscule, especially when those works of art call a palace home.

During my visit to Vienna in late August, I ventured to The Belvedere — two late-Baroque palaces turned into an art museum — to view some of the world’s most coveted works of art.

While the museum is fit for art fanatics like me to come and admire the work of Austrian artists, such as Gustav Klimt, Max Oppenheimer and Franz Xaver Messerschmidt, it’s also a site for history buffs.

Unknown to many visitors, several of the pieces that decorate the walls of the museum are recovered works of art that were stolen by Nazis during WWII. While many of the paintings and sculptures are simply beautiful, their stories stretch beyond their frames.

Walking through the palace was

like being inside a work of art.

The vaulted ceilings towered over me and the royally furnished rooms would be enough of a feast for the eyes without their bold artistic decorations.

There would be too much to discuss in this article, but I can’t mention that in addition to its history, The Belvedere is also home to the most impressive collection of Klimts in the world, hosting a whopping 24 oil paintings by the iconic artist.

Gustav Klimt was a prominent Austrian oil painter, infamous for his erotic subject matter, and above all, his Golden Period — a phase wherein he literally used gold leaf to accent his work.

I’ve been a huge Klimt fan since I was young; a large-scale print, entitled Water Serpents, currently fills the wall of my student bedroom. It was surreal to finally be in the presence of Klimt’s work, to fully experience the colours and textures no copy can capture.

As I moved around the room dedicated to his work, I experienced the development of his highly-praised style, from his first naturalist painting all the way to his ornamental masterpieces.

I finished the exhibition with Klimt’s most noted piece and one of my favourite paintings to date — The Kiss.

The Kiss depicts an emotional scene of lovers embracing. Klimt showered the lovers with golden hues and textures taking an ordinary scene of affection and making it into a otherworldly, but painfully beautiful illustration.

While the painting was smaller than I’d expected, it illuminated the room. There was a large crowd surrounding the small yet striking piece, but I managed to worm my way to the front to get a glance at one of the most coveted paintings in the world.

It was a regal painting, fit for a grand palace.

quarterback. As former Gael splayer and current Professor Merv Daub outlines in his book Gael Force, quarterback Gus Braccia transferred to Queen’s from Temple University in Philadelphia, with a preseason stop in the CFL along the way.

A superb signal caller on a team that had everything but, Braccia led the Gaels to an 11-10 victory over University of Toronto on Homecoming weekend, a game that was won on a last-second field goal. This key win, which kept the team in contention for their Yates Cup victory, led to the 1955 squad being the “toast of the town,” though Braccia, the key to the team’s success, ended up leaving the school by Christmas.

to recruit top players because of more stringent academic standards, the shifting priorities of the student body, and, perhaps most importantly, the lack of an expectation that football games would be attended, as a matter of course.

If one is looking to delineate eras in Homecoming, 2013 would be the start of the most recent one, as it’s the year that rose from the ashes of torched cars to become the event that no current student can imagine being cancelled.

And the football game in 2013 — at least at the first of the two Homecomings held that fall — was one of the more exciting in recent memory.

A tight game with Laurier ended up in overtime, and the Gaels were

lined up for the game winning field goal. The kick was blocked, but the ball was scooped up by holder Aaron Gazendam who kicked the ball into the endzone and chased it down to score the game winning touchdown. This rarely-seen play confounded many in the stands that day, but provided a defining moment on the restart of this important Queen’s tradition.

With the upcoming game against Windsor as the first Homecoming in the new Richardson Stadium, maybe we can call this the beginning of a sub-era within the current phoenix-like Homecoming tradition. With that, maybe we can expect another memorable game, especially with a playoff spot on the line.

JOURNAL FILE PHOTO

Fondly remembered as “the boys of ’55,” the football team of that season inspired parades, dinners, and songs in their honour.

But as time wore on, the tenor of the weekend changed, moving from what McDowall calls “introspective” to its more familiar, boisterous state. As the school got larger, the weekend became more spread out, with not all events being held on campus.

Additionally, McDowall pointed out that football was no longer the anchor, or at least the sole anchor; the Saturday night street parties became one of the centrepieces of the weekend.

And while the trend has produced the fantastic sight of streets flowing with students decked out in tricolour, showcasing

their Queen’s spirit, it also led to Homecoming’s undisputed low point, the events of 2005-08 that led to its temporary cancellation.

But McDowall believes that aside from the obvious issues that arose, there were more underlying negative impacts as well that emerged from this culture shift.

“Student passion [for football] has dissipated,” he said, noting that while attendance at the Homecoming game has been strong since its reinstatement, this hasn’t carried over to the rest of the season as it used to, as the student body is largely focused on the success of Queen’s only in that one game.

He puts forward several factors that have contributed to this, including an increased difficulty

More than just another game

Last playoff spot in the OUA on the line Adam Laskaris Staff Writer With five teams having already clinched playoff berths, a lone playoff spot is up for grabs over the OUA football regular season’s final two weekends.

On Saturday against the Windsor Lancers, Queen’s begins their late playoff push on the biggest possible stage: Homecoming weekend.

The conference’s top five teams sit at five wins each, while the next four teams — Windsor and Queen’s included — all sit at 2-4.

“It’s kind of like rock-paper scissors,” fourth-year running back Jonah Pataki said of the OUA’s odd divide this season. “We feel like we could be 5-1 if a couple things went differently.”

Though it’s still mathematically possible for the Gaels to win just

one of their next two games and earn a playoff berth, the team isn’t looking to leave anything up to chance. Among players and coaches, the message is quite clear: a victory is essential in each of their next two games.

In his weekly pregame press conference, head coach Pat Sheahan discussed two distinct facets of the team’s approaching matchup.

Initially, he detailed the on-field fundamentals of how his team could defeat the Lancers, as both teams head into the weekend with identical 2-4 records.

Sheahan said the “nucleus of the [Gaels] team” is strong defensive play, including a pass defense that’s allowed just 176 yards per game, the lowest in the CIS. In reference to the team’s 30-6 loss last Friday to

WOMEN’S HOCKEY

JOURNAL FILE PHOTO

Working towards the national championships Team looks to regular season to build to CIS final eight Matt Scace Contributor At the beginning of a new season, it’s almost become a formality for teams to force-feed the phrase “new season, new start” when asked about their approach to the season ahead. Not for Queen’s women’s hockey team.

In the 2015-16 season, the Gaels finished third in the OUA standings, displaying their consistency and ability to play with the best universities in Ontario. With their success last season, the Gaels have finished top four in the province for the past eight years and they don’t plan on stopping any time soon.

Though head coach Matt Holmberg classified last season as a success, the way their season came to a conclusion brings this team into the season with a little more than a chip on their shoulder.

In a highly competitive and intense matchup with Nipissing University in the first round of conference playoffs, the team dropped their first game 2-1 and went on to lose the second 3-2 in near-comeback fashion. The slim-margin nature of the series made the loss particularly difficult for the team to swallow.

But, as the season nears, the team’s rivalry will be rekindled as they are set to play Nipissing this Saturday.

“When people ask me what went wrong I said, ‘you know, we played well, Nipissing just scored two more goals than us and there wasn’t a lot to differentiate between our teams’,” Holmberg said.

“They got a couple bounces and that’s the way it went.”

Entering the 2016-17 season, the Gaels only have a positive outlook for the future ahead. Despite losing six players to graduation — the only players who had won an OUA championship in 2012-13 — leadership is not lacking on the current team. With a roster consisting of 12 players in third year or higher, Queen’s boasts a team that has the experience in high-intensity atmospheres to lead a young and energized group of players.

Gaels goaltender Claire Warren sees this balance between youth and experience as an advantage.

“The rookies we have each bring a unique set of skills to the team that definitely fill the hole that was maybe left by an upper year moving on,” Warren said.

On the other end of the spectrum, Warren says that the fourth years bring a lot of experience and a lot of leadership to the team.

Leadership isn’t the only quality that this team prides itself on. According to Warren, this year’s squad is exceptionally fast.

“We are quick in the other team’s end but we are also very quick to get back and help out our teammates. Watching us skate I know that we can skate with any team that we play with and we have that extra gear to use our speed as a weapon going forward,” she explained.

However, while creating chances is an important part, finishing is the final and crucial piece to the puzzle.

With Queen’s hosting the national CIS Championships in March, the team will be given an automatic qualification to the tournament. While they call it an an “express elevator” to get the championships, captain Lauren Wakefield declares the team’s motto is — “We want to take the stairs to get there.”

“We’re focusing on every practice, every game, every workout.”

This weekend, the men’s hockey team skipped the turkey and festivities for two hard-fought home games against the Carleton Ravens and the Ottawa Gee Gees, with mixed results.

The Gaels opened their regular season at home against the Ravens on Friday in a 4-3 loss. The Ravens quickly overwhelmed the Gaels without their captain, defenseman Patrick Downe, who was out with an injury early in the first period, putting three consecutive goals on the board in the first 20 minutes of the game.

While the Gaels came out strong in the second and third periods with a comeback attempt lead by Gaels’ top scorer last season Eric Ming, they were unable to overcome the Raven’s lead.

However, head coach Brett Gibson didn’t blame Friday’s loss on the team’s youth, but rather on mistakes made by the

returning players.

“I think our veterans need to be better.

On the first goal [for the Ravens], it was a veteran mistake. On the second goal [for the Ravens], it was a veteran mistake. Those guys have got to lead the way for us. They started slow and you can’t play catch up against a really good team,” Gibson said.

On Saturday night, the Gaels sought redemption at the Memorial Centre against the Ottawa Gee Gees. While the Gaels started ahead with a goal from Ming, the Gee Gees quickly caught up and overcame the home team.

The Gaels managed to mount a successful comeback in the final period, with three minutes left to play on a backhand from Harrison Hendrix. Ming led the way with two goals, with Hendrix and Slater Doggett adding a goal a piece. The Gaels finished the game victorious with a 4-2 win.

Homecoming game predictions Forecasting this weekend’s results Joseph Cattana Sports Editor

Women’s Rugby 1 p.m. @ Nixon Field

From a statistical stand point, Queen’s is dominant against everyone but McMaster and Guelph. In games against the other teams in the league — including York — Queen’s has dominated, scoring 215 points while only allowing 10 in three wins.

Queen’s also has a mix of veteran and young talent. Veterans Nadia Popov and Miranda Seifert lead Queen’s with 42 and 40 points respectively, with the Gaels getting strong controlled play from second-years Sadie Stephenson and Kara Gani have controlled play. The balanced attack and strong defense will lead Queen’s to a decisive win.

Football 1 p.m. @ Richardson Stadium

Queen’s needs to out play their opponents.

Windsor has the third worst defense in the OUA, allowing 564.8 yards per game. On the balanced approach of passing — with quarterback Nate Hobbs fifth in the OUA in yards per game — and with the strong running of Jonah Pataki, who rushed for 125 yards and three touchdowns earlier this season against Waterloo, Queen’s will come out on top. Currently the two teams are vying for one of the last playoff spots in the OUA, and adding a home field advantage, I predict that Queen’s will win in a high-score game.

Historically, Queen’s is one of the top teams in the league. From a skill-based perspective this year, the team is very talented and very deep, giving the Gaels a huge advantage over the Badgers. While both teams have lost to Guelph, Brock has dropped games against Trent and RMC, two teams Queen’s has already beat this season.

With Rumball, Lloyd and captain Michael Douros in their fourth year, experience will ride the team to a victory.

This is a game of revenge for Queen’s against the Nipissing Lakers.

After splitting their season series, the Lakers had the last laugh, knocking out the Gaels in the first round of the OUA playoffs.

While Queen’s has a lot of talent from years before, they graduated six key seniors, having to fill those gaps with first years. While I hope for a win I think that the first years still need to adjust to life in the OUA, with Queen’s dropping the game.

Slater Doggett carried the team this weekend.

“They would be first to admit they did not have a good pre-season but we had some great dialogue over the week leading up to opening weekend and they came through in a big way.”

Coach Gibson isn’t worried about the team’s performance for the remainder of the season, thinking that lineup changes and the games this weekend will inspire growth.

Fourth-year offensive lineman John Meenagh added an additional motivation behind pushing for a victory.

SEXUALITY

Ask S&M “Dear S&M, I started seeing a new girl who I really like. She’s cool, funny and so hot and for some reason, she likes me! The only problem is that I’m not necessarily the coolest guy, and because of that I don’t really have a wide breadth of experience with women. I’m pretty new to the… bedroom… with them too. How do I make sure that when we hook up she’s not disappointed? I’m so nervous about it, I keep putting it off but now I’m afraid she’ll think I’m not interested. What do I do?”

HEALTH

Stop hitting the snooze button Tips for getting the most out of your slumber Meghan Bhatia and Monica Mullin Contributors The average human will sleep for one third of their lifetime. If you live for 90 years, that’s 30 years asleep.

Have you ever felt like there’s not enough time in a day for forty winks, or find yourself using the phrase, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead?”

In some cases, it would be useful to have developed the ability to skip sleep. Dolphins and whales have been shown to have sleep cycles in one side of their brain at a time, allowing them to continuously swim.

Unfortunately, we aren’t about to learn how to rest one side of our mind at a time, nor really should we. Sleep has been proven to have many benefits ranging, from increased academic performance to overall better health.

Sleep in university has been extensively studied, as it seems to be a period in our lives where our sleep habits change. Some factors for this change are quite obvious: ruminating over situations from the day, anxiety, stress and alcohol all contribute to poor sleep.

Interestingly, studies have shown that

most first-year students are in bed before midnight, but upper-year students are awake past then. When it comes to daytime sleepiness, it’s the exact opposite, those same upper-year students are actually less sleepy during the day.

Studies have also shown that those weekend sleep-ins can be very valuable.

Students who slept less than seven hours on weekdays but slept longer on weekends performed better than students who slept less than seven hours every day of the week.

So what can help us get restful sleep?

Phone apps like Sleep As Android, Jawbone Up, Sleep Cycle or Sleepbot can help you trend your bedtime and accurately report your sleep latency — how long you were in bed before falling asleep.

Prolonged sleep latency can lead to feeling tired during the day and is, quite frankly, a waste of time. You aren’t sleeping and aren’t being productive!

To decrease your sleep latency, consider making a list of the things you’re ruminating over to get them out of your head. Also, try to take an hour-long break from screens and blue light before bed — for this you can use the Flux app which moderates the brightness of your computer screen.

Another surprising link to prolonged

sleep latency is feeling socially isolated, so connecting with friends or family can actually lead to a more restful night’s sleep.

See Tips on page 14

THE NATIONAL SLEEP FOUNDATION RECOMMENDS 1. Go to bed at the same time each night and rise at the same time each morning.

2. Make sure your bedroom is a quiet, dark, and relaxing environment, which is neither too hot nor too cold.

3. Make sure your bed is comfortable and use it only for sleeping and not for other activities, such as reading, watching TV, or listening to music.

Remove all TVs, computers, and other “gadgets” from the bedroom.

Hello our dear and darling Novice: Firstly, congratulations! It’s wonderful you’ve found somebody who makes you happy and that you like this much. S is only moderately jealous right now. It’s been a dry month.

It’s normal to hear that you’re stressed out about your progressing relationship and the possibility of sexual relations on the horizon. Please try not to be! Sex and hooking up is supposed to be something that’s really, really fun.

While we aren’t therapists, one thing we feel can relieve nerves and benefit a hookup is being comfortable in your own skin.

One way to do this — we know it sounds funny but bear with us — is to lock your door, put on some good music and get nude.

Do some everyday tasks: clean your room, get ready for school or just look in the mirror.

The more comfortable you are in your own skin when you’re solo, the more confident you’ll be with someone else.

As we’ve learned through a very normal amount of dating at university, experience in the bedroom doesn’t necessarily translate to mind-blowing sexual abilities. Now, we’re not saying that having a bit of practice is a bad thing, but there is no direct causal link between their number of sexual endeavours and the pleasure your partner can bring you in bed.

We’re going to give you a couple of tips that might make you feel a bit better. In our experience, the best hookups are those who care more about their partner’s experience than their own pleasure. So, you’re already ahead of the game here.

The most important tip: communicate.

Consent should always be the first step, but it’s also okay to ask her what she likes.

You can do it in a sexy way. Questions like “what do you want me to do now?”, “tell me what you like”, or “do you want me to touch you _____?” can be hot. You can also tell her that you’re relatively inexperienced and ask her to teach you exactly what she likes.

Now for some more explicit advice (sorry mom!). Some good non-sexual and non-obvious places to pay attention to on your lady: her ears, neck, collarbone, hands and thighs are all good locations.

Take your time too! We know that guys are often ready to go at the drop of a hat — or a bra — but girls take a bit longer to get there. Take it slow and focus on her. Don’t rush. We know that the final destination is really exciting for you, but getting there can also be really enjoyable.

Finally, if this girl likes you without having been in bed with you yet, clearly she values you for you, and she’ll likely be willing to look past a potentially awkward first encounter.

Have fun, be safe, and enjoy yourselves.

We’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines, baby!

-S&M ;)

Quick advice on how to stay safe this weekend

the best way to keep track of how much you’re drinking and keep your own peace of mind.

3. Eat while you’re drinking.

Luckily, the tradition of tri-color pancakes at house parties during Homecoming is alive and well.

Pairing alcohol with food will extend your stamina to actually make it to the end of a party that lasts all day, and make sure you won’t get sick.

5. Avoiding a hangover can be tricky. A lot of good comes from avoiding the dehydrating effects of alcohol. A good rule of thumb is one glass of water per drink to dodge headaches and a dry mouth when you wake up.

6. Don’t intend to sober up quick on coffee! The common myth that drinking coffee can get you sober faster isn’t true, the only thing that can sober you up is time. The average person burns off about one drink an hour. Prepare to wait!

7. Lastly, look out for one another.

If you see someone who isn’t in good shape, lend a hand, you may be helping more than you think. Be safe, be kind and have fun!

It’s a day worth remembering

Ashley Rhamey Assistant Lifestyle Editor When you go #Loco4Hoco this year, stay safe and make your weekend the best it can be.

1. Know your limit, drink within it.

This is the first and most important tip, don’t push yourself beyond what your body can handle. If you’re not sure what your limit is, take it slow and pay attention to how you feel.

2. Always BYOB. Being offered a red solo cup of Jungle Juice can be tempting, but don’t take a drink unless you know exactly what’s in it. Bringing your own alcohol is

4. Pockets. This is a simple one, but wearing clothing with pockets will make your chances of losing essentials like your phone, ID, cash and cards much smaller. Make sure you have somewhere safe to store them on your person.

Tips for getting a good night’s sleep Continued from page 13

University life makes it difficult to maintain sleep hygiene, due to simple challenges, such as multipurpose residence rooms, roommates, and too much homework on your computer. But remember: getting more sleep may be the key to your success, even when you feel like you don’t have time.

If you’re really concerned about your lack of sleep, it might

be worthwhile to visit Student Wellness Services, as insomnia can be a symptom of depression and many other medical conditions which your doctor can offer advice on.

So rest assured that long nights of no sleep don’t have to be a nightly recurrence. When you’re heading to bed, make an investment in your wellbeing that will be productive for the future.

The open road on the Wronko’s trek from Toronto to Edmonton.

Mikayla Wronko Features Editor While other families spent the Thanksgiving weekend seated at a table, my dad and I sat together in a car and drove 3,500 kilometres.

My grandparents on my father’s side were holding a family reunion in honour of both their birthdays and their 60th wedding anniversary in Edmonton during the Thanksgiving weekend.

In our complicated travel arrangement, my dad and I were going to drive to Edmonton from Toronto while my mom and brother flew out and, on the way back, my brother and dad would drive together.

Despite living away from home for eight months during the year, my dad and I clicked right back to our regular way. I like to think of my dad as a quirky, dark humoured scamp disguised as a corporate white guy.

As I’ve gotten older, our relationship has evolved from parent-child to being friends and it’s not every day you get to drive across the country with your friend.

DAY ONE: Toronto to Thunder Bay

At 6 a.m, we pulled out of the garage with my dad taking the first driving shift.

For the first 100 kilometers, it didn’t feel like a road trip quite yet. All the familiar roads were dark and with the scattered beginnings of morning traffic. My dad and I loaded up on caffeine and we hit the 407 westbound.

Turning onto the 400 north, my dad pointed at the traffic going eastbound. It felt like we were shooting past the cars basically parked on the highway.

Barrie, MacTier, Parry Sound: the more north we went, the more the city disappeared as the Canadian Shield took over.

My dad and I ogled at the trees and the scenery. The trees lining the highway looked like brush strokes of bright reds, oranges and yellows.

Whenever he gets the opportunity to talk about the trees in Ontario, my dad will chat your ear off. “You just can’t get trees like this anywhere else,” he kept repeating.

My dad was insistent I had to see the Big Nickel — a 9-meter-tall replica of a nickel in Sudbury. We pulled over beside a giant coin, took our selfie and went to find the closest Tim Horton’s.

I took over driving duties, coffee in hand and ready not to get into a car accident.

My dad reached into the back of the

car and exclaimed, “I packed goodies!” He pulled forward this industrial sized bag of Babybel cheese.

Throughout the trip, my dad probably ate around 20 Babybels. I’ve never seen a grown man eat so much cheese.

As we passed through Sault Ste. Marie onto Lake Superior Provincial Park we passed a sign that read in big red letter, “NO GAS FOR 150 KILOMETRES”. It felt as if civilization had slipped away.

DAY TWO: Thunder Bay to Regina We scarfed back a mediocre, complimentary breakfast and were on the road again at 6:30 a.m. I still haven’t seen Thunder Bay in actual daylight.

My dad drove about an hour and then I covered the next seven hours to Winnipeg.

I was so tired that I tried slapping my face to see if it would wake me up. I wasn’t any

POSTSCRIPT

Thanksgiving by the dashboard view A father and daughter drive halfway across Canada With Lake Superior as the backdrop, we were driving in a postcard. And not a cheap postcard either — like a $5 one that you’d buy at an upper class tourist site.

We pulled into White River — a small town with a population of 1,000 — and switched drivers. When I stumbled out, I didn’t realize how stiff I was from not moving.

The sky got darker as we headed further into what we felt was nowhere. We joked it would be too easy to drop off a dead body here.

Feeling spontaneous, we pulled over, still slightly in the middle of the road. I stumbled out of the car, still not used to using my legs and craned my head up. Everything was black except the white freckles scattered in the sky and the moon lit like an LED. Nearing Thunder Bay, civilization began to reappear and we eventually made it to our hotel.

We had been on the road for almost 16 hours. My dad put the bag of cheese into the mini fridge and as soon as my head the pillow, I was asleep.

more alert and my face stung.

We spoke about how we felt for the upcoming family reunion. My dad lives a much different life than his family, joking that he’s defected from a Western Christian background to live in Toronto as a Jew. There’s something about the conversations you can have when you’re trapped in a car together.

As the service dropped in and out on our phones, we were surprised to see that our digital clocks ticked backward an hour. Did you know there was a time zone change somewhere after Thunder Bay? We didn’t.

The landscape was still as vibrant as the day before. Trees surrounded us from all sides and the road sloped up and down.

But the moment we crossed the Ontario border into Manitoba, everything that was beautiful to look at disappeared. The trees vanished and you could see the end of the province from the beginning.

to satellite radio, flipping between CNN, “Fox and the Tom Petty channel” — an entire channel dedicated to just playing Tom Petty songs.

“See those buildings over there?” My dad pointed to the only buildings within sight.

“That’s Winnipeg.” How does this city have a hockey team?

The moment we passed into Saskatchewan, snow began to pelt our car and the temperature had crept down to 0 degrees.

The whole trip blended into itself until we hit Regina. Looking around, I couldn’t see a building taller than three stories.

DAY THREE: Regina to Edmonton

I wish I could tell you that the drive became as a scenic as it was previously in Ontario. And that we saw breathtaking sites beyond our wildest imagination — but they don’t say the prairies are flat for nothing.

For the last 800 kilometres, the road was monotonously flat and it continued to snow until Saskatoon.

Nearing Alberta, I made a rookie mistake by finishing a litre of water from the gas station from earlier and my bladder could only be so strong. The only problem was that there wasn’t any civilization for kilometres.

But eventually a bit out of Maidstone, Saskatchewan, we pulled over and found a suspiciously deserted outhouse. I shone my phone flashlight down the hole to make sure I wasn’t disturbing anyone. There was a piece of paper stapled to the wall that said “Please remain seated for the whole performance.”

We were back in the car and we crossed into Alberta via Lloydminster — where the end of Saskatchewan was signalled by big red goal posts.

Powering through the last 100 kilometres, I thought to myself how weird it would be to not spend days in the car anymore.

The road and sky were equally open and my dad started to perk up at what was familiar from his childhood.

We pulled into our hotel in Edmonton and that was it — we had driven halfway across Canada.

I saw extended family I haven’t seen in years and even met some first cousins for the first time. But the time I spent with my dad was the highlight.

I recognize I’m unbelievably lucky to have the relationship that I have with my father.

I’m lucky to have the opportunity to spend the time that I did with him — and I’m lucky to call him a friend.
