O

n Oct. 4, more than 1000 people raced their way through Jacques Cartier Park during the CIBC Run for the Cure. They were people of all ages, raising money, and running for breast cancer research - a cause that is near and dear to many people’s hearts.

The work of these fundraisers has a tangible result; the four Quebec races in Montreal, Sherbrooke, Quebec City, and Val d’Or raised over 2.1 million dollars for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. This total will only rise as the Canadian Breast Foundation is still accepting donations throughout October.

Fundraisers were able to choose what aspect of cancer care and/or research they would like to fund. This allows the organizers to know which components of cancer research/ cancer care is most important for participants.

Dan Gilbert, the sports editor of The Campus, had the chance to ask Andrea Furlong, a Sport Studies major at Bishop’s, about her reasons for participating in this year’s race.

Donald Lecture Series: Get Outside The Classroom 2015-2016 lineup for popular lecture series has something for everyone KATHERINE MCKENNEY Contributor

A

lthough we have seen some incredible speakers participate in the Donald Lecture Series (the most recent notable being Lt. Chris Hadfield), this year’s line-up may top the charts as hosting some of the most aweinspiring guests.

1. Paul Wells: “Election 2015: What just happened?” A live interview with Principal Goldbloom.

Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 7:00 p.m.

Paul Wells is a Canadian journalist who is wellknown for his work for the Maclean’s magazine, as well as for moderating the Maclean’s Leaders Debate.

During his lecture, which will occur less than fortyeight hours after the official election results are in, Dr. Michael Goldbloom will be turning the spotlight on Wells who will be providing an in-depth analysis of the election for the Bishop’s student body.

2. Edward Snowden: “Mass surveillance, secrecy and democracy: What went wrong?” A live interview with Royal Orr. Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 7:00 p.m.

Former CIA employee Edward Snowden no doubt ranks as one of the most controversial figures in current affairs today. The extensive media coverage surrounding his paradigm-shattering whistleblowing has garnered as much criticism as it has praise, attracting attention from all across the globe. Now, via livestream from Russia, the Bishop’s community has the opportunity to witness Snowden discuss how methods utilized by intelligence agencies represent a significant risk to the free societies we have all come to identify with. An interview will be conducted by alumnus Royal Orr. Snow-

den’s extensive experience, including a decade with various intelligence agencies, offers an enlightening perspective on current global affairs.

3. Naomi Klein: “This Changes Everything: Capitalism Versus the Climate” Wednesday, Jan. 27 at 7:00 p.m.

Naomi Klein is a renowned Canadian social activist, filmmaker, and author who is best known for her extensive work tackling controversial issues such as corporate globalization and corporate capitalism.

Her latest book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate, was named a non-fiction New York Times bestseller of 2014. During what has been termed her most provocative talk yet, Klein will discuss the principles of freemarket capitalism and the havoc that our addiction to economic growth and market deregulation is wreaking on our planet.

Needless to say, this year’s lineup is sure to offer something for everyone – even those who don’t consider themselves particularly politically minded. Each lecture represents an important, controversial facet of our day-to-day lives as Canadians, and each speaker brings something unique and vital to our understanding of our own global citizenship.

Everything you need to know about Empty Bowls NICOLE GAUVREAU Editor-in-Chief

T

his year marks the third annual Lennoxville Empty Bowls co-hosted

by Bishop’s University and Champlain Regional College in Lennoxville, under the guidance of Heather Thompson and Lucinda Doheny.

Tickets to the event, which will be held on Oct. 17 from 11:30 to 2:00, are $25 and are available for purchase at the BU bookstore. This will get you a beautiful clay bowl, lunch, and some satisfaction in helping others who are in need.

The project takes place across North America and brings together local potters and artists, chefs, and charities with the goal of reducing hunger in one’s local area and reminding event-goers that there are many people out there who often have an empty bowl in front of them.

As was the case in the past two years, the proceeds from this year’s Empty Bowls will be divided between the Lennoxville Elementary School Breakfast Program, the Cornerstone Food Bank, and the BU/CRC Pastoral Fund.

When asked why these three institu-

plained, “hunger affects everybody, even if you can’t see it.” She noted that by do-

nating to these three organizations, the project is able to help people in a variety of age groups.

Almost everything related to Empty Bowls is donated; the total cost of the event is only $500. This cost covers the clay that is required to make the actual bowls.

All the soups are vegan (butternut ginger, vegetable, and potato leek) and made by local chefs; the bread comes from Larraine’s Bakery and apples are courtesy of the local Provigo.

The event will take place at the Hope Community Church on the corner of College and Queen across from the Lion, which also runs the Cornerstone Food Bank. This makes it an ideal partner, as it has a bigger hand in the project beyond being the host venue.

In past years people have come from across the Eastern Townships to attend the event, and it is expected to happen again this year.

Club offers opportunity to improve individual communication in a fun environment PHILIP RICH News Editor

Note: As a new feature this year, The Campus will be spotlighting a different Bishop’s club every issue with the hopes of introducing students to the various school clubs.

If interested, students are encouraged to contact those in charge of the club with the information provided at the end of each article.

P

ublic speaking is an essential skill in university. No matter what program you may be in, there is a very good chance that a presentation will be required in one of your classes here at BU. Even more importantly, giving presentations or speeches may end up being a feature of many students’ future employments once they leave Bishop’s.

If the idea of this makes you nervous or scared, then feel free to stop by Nicolls 213 on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. to get some practice and helpful advice. This is where the Toastmasters club meets weekly to give, and learn about, all sorts of speeches and presentations.

Toastmasters is a “self-directed education program with two main educational tracks,” says Jeremy Andrews, VP of Public Relations for Bishop’s Toastmasters, “leadership and communication.” Founded in the 1920s as a YMCA club in California, Toastmasters has evolved into an international organization where members essentially give speeches and receive feedback at each meeting.

At the BU club, members must give prepared speeches on various topics each week and may also do a shorter, impromptu speech on a randomly assigned topic if they so choose. The prepared speeches often have a theme that has to do with a certain aspect of

public speaking such as using body language or making an inspirational speech. These speeches tend to run approximately five to seven minutes in length.

Andrews stressed the fact that it is a great way to practice for class presentations and a “chance to get good feedback as well.” He also noted that Toastmasters is just for fun. However, for those who enjoy competition, there are contests where individuals can compete at a higher level against other clubs; this is

completely optional.

As far as leadership is concerned, there are many administrative roles that are filled by club members including executive positions and even speech timers.

Members are also able to move up in these roles and fill them at the district or national levels.

Gaiters, beer, and a whole lot of cheer!

Gaiters game & Beer Gardens highlights homecoming weekend PHILIP RICH News Editor

P

urple dominated in Lennoxville on the weekend of Oct. 4, as alumni descended on the town for the 2015 edition of homecoming weekend. The weekend featured a full slate of Gaiters home games as well as the Bishop’s Arches Brewery Beer Gardens. These were just a few of the many alumni activities planned.

The majority of these activities integrated current students as well. They included the Top 10 after 10 Networking Café, Eastern Townships Donor Recognition Event, the Homecoming Alumni and

Friends Golf Tournament, and the 7th Annual Gaiter Walk in support of ALS. The events were well attended, even though several people pointed out that there seemed to be fewer alumni who attended the weekend than in previous years.

The first annual Bishop’s Beer Gardens was a moderate success, with a couple of SRC members saying that the turnout was about half of what was expected. Located in the parking lot of the sports center, the Beer Gardens allowed students, staff, and alumni to sample the Arches product. There was craft beers

to sample from other popular Quebec microbreweries including The Golden Lion, Siboire, and Trou de Diable.

The entrance fee of $20 ($15 for students) included access to the event, a 10 oz. Bishop’s Arches Brewery souvenir beer mug, and one beer of your choice.

Each additional refill was $3; the money going to support the Arches brewery.

Even with the lower than expected turnout, many students attended the event and enjoyed sampling the various craft beers.

Happening beside the Beer Gardens was the traditional tailgate and home-

coming football game at Coulter field that saw the Gaiters take on the McGill Redmen. The football team was one of five Gaiters squads who had home games for homecoming weekend.

Although the Gaiters lost and the alumni turnout may have been slightly less than usual, many of the homecoming events were a success. This, combined with a beautiful - but chilly - weekend, resulted in a fun weekend.

Conservatives and Liberals neck-and-neck in 2015 Federal Election Polls show tight race as Election Day looms JEREMY ANDREWS Contributor

M

any Canadians have now already cast their ballots in the advanced polls this past weekend. The last opportunity to vote will be Election Day on Monday, Oct. 19. Anyone who has not yet voted should make sure that they are registered and go to the polling station that day.

The polling place for Bishop’s students will be in The Gait and will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. This election has been a tight race so far and is likely to remain that way for the last two weeks of the campaign.

After the NDP had a steady lead in the early days of the campaign, they have since dropped well below the two other main parties. The Conservatives and Liberals are neck-and-neck. By the end of last week, the Liberals were ahead of the Conservatives by a few points. As of Oct. 9, the CBC estimated an outcome of 131 seats for the Liberals, 122 for the

2015 Maclean’s Leaders Debate.

Conservatives, and 80 for the NDP. However, the same poll shows that the Conservatives could have a maximum of 197, while the Liberals could only have a maximum of 156. This means that only the Conservative Party has even a re-

mote chance of forming a majority government.

It is almost guaranteed Canada will have a minority government, and the NDP has vowed to try and form a coalition with the Liberals should the Con-

servatives end up with more seats than either of the two parties. In that way, we may be heading for a repeat of the 2008 federal election when the Conservatives asked Governor General Michaëlle Jean to prorogue parliament after the Liberals and NDP threatened to form a coalition.

After casting your ballot, get ready to start watching the results come in.

For the first time, Elections Canada has eliminated so-called “blackout rules” that formerly prohibited the media from reporting election results until after all polls across Canada had closed.

This meant that until polls in British Columbia officially closed at 12:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, information about election results was limited. This year, however, once the polls close in Newfoundland at 8:00 p.m. EDT, we will start getting results as soon as they have been counted.

This year’s election promises to be both interesting and exciting. So tune in on Oct. 19 and see what the outcome is, and please make sure to vote.

Professor Profiles: Dr. Steven Woodward

GUENEVERE MACDONALD News Writer

I

t happens to the best of us. We head out the door on Friday night with the intention of just having a good time.

Meeting up with friends to grab a couple of drinks while swapping stories and sharing a few laughs.

Sure, it all starts out innocent enough until you find yourself tied up with a thick rope dangling over a large cauldron of molten lava. That is the point in your life when you will be thankful that you went to Bishop`s. You won’t sweat it.

Instead, you’ll just calmly and carefully hit the speed dial button on the phone in your pocket and call the Doctor.

Okay, no - not that doctor. Sadly, we do not have any timelords at our university.

However, we have something even better. One timelord is useful, but an army of dwarves, elves, and the occasional hobbit is even better. Or perhaps a specially trained British spy? Maybe even the shark will be on your side? Okay, forget the shark; the shark is on no one’s side. But Dr. Steven Woodward is.

Before you throw your hands up in defeat (okay they’re tied so you can’t) and before the thought of defeat even crosses your mind, consider this: Woodward is the Bishop’s expert on spies, villains, Middle Earth, and even the shark. However, you cannot just randomly call him when you are hanging over molten lava; you have to take a class first.

In order to take one of Woodward’s classes, you must adhere to the following list - without it you may not survive.

1) Woodward is English, real English - not the “I can’t speak French” kind.

He grew up in the United Kingdom and spent the better part of his life inside and outside academia aspiring to be a spy. So

Dr. Woodward.

there will be no insults against James Bond or any of his kind. Woodward is an expert on 007 and his exploits, as well as the villains he has faced. He wrote the book on it, at least an extensive and hugely popular paper. (Read it!)

2) Woodward is a film and cultural studies Godfather. At some point, you’ll probably be taking your classroom lectures in Nicoll’s Room 4. Bring Popcorn.

Share the popcorn - or you will swim with the fishes, which brings us to number three.

3) The Shark may or may not be real.

Stay out of the water, bring popcorn. DO NOT swim with the fishes.

4) You must enjoy the company of hobbits, dwarfs, and various members of the Elf Clans. Be prepared to explore everything there is to know about Middle Earth architecture. Consider Woodward as your own personal version of the Lord of the Rings Marauders Map, if such a thing were to exist. His extensive knowledge on this subject has also been published. Yes, he is that cool. This is why he’s on your speed dial for times of crisis, especially when you are being

chased by dragons and the like.

5) Everything contains a secret message. It doesn’t matter what class you take, this is essential. Woodward will be the first to tell you that everything around you is a message. Even this Article is a message.

6) James Bond is awesome (see number 1). Enough said.

7) Woodward is an expert on villains; he knows a bit too much about villains.

He wrote and published a paper on villains. He may secretly be a villain, so mind your Ps and Qs (Yes, Dr. Dale Wood that was a nod to you as well).

I could Go on and get into detail on Woodward’s previous teaching experience at other universities such as the University of Toronto. I could mention his extensive research into cringe comedy that includes deep analysis of comedies such as The Office and movies like Borat.

I could even discuss his classes offered at Bishop’s like Film Theory and Media Studies. It might even be noteworthy to tell you that he has Extensive knowledge and interest in film theory, cultural studies, as well as children’s and British literature.

I could tell you a lot of things about Woodward, but right now you’re hanging over a cauldron of molten lava; you might want to make that call.

SRC Budget approves at second General Assembly meeting Doolittle’s and Gait see increase in revenue, but deficit still present SCOTT POTTER Contributor

O

n Sept. 27, the SRC held it’s second General Assembly meeting of the year. It began with departmental updates from each of the six members of the SRC Executive Cabinet.

The first departmental update was given by President Matthew Robinson, whose main goal is to work with the other execs on developing and achieving their departmental goals. Robinson hopes to integrate the SRC with other provincial and federal student associations. Another ambitious task Robinson has set for himself includes working with the Bishop’s Enrolment and Retention Committee to help increase the university’s student numbers.

Following Robinson’s update, SRC Director of Financial Operations Emily MacGowan submitted her budget for approval by the other SRC members.

In brief, the SRC’s budget is built around a revenue of $284,000 for the 2015-2016 year. Of that, $209,000 comes from students’ SRC activity fees and $44,000 from yearbook fees. Although in theory, the SRC collects enough money to give each student a yearbook, most yearbooks have gone uncollected. As a result, the SRC orders hundreds rather than thousands of copies that leads to a small profit from the yearbooks year after year. It was suggested that either an effort should be made to give away more yearbooks or the yearbook fee should be decreased.

Other highlights of the budget include $20,000 for the Grant Committee for

Clubs (GCC), $6,500 spent on the SRC mobile application, and $4,000 set aside for SRC donations to worthy causes.

MacGowan stressed that her main goals are improving the accounting at Doolittle’s and the Gait as well as growing their profits. The Gait’s gross revenue was up from last year, but so were its expenses; this led to a decrease in profits. Doolittle’s revenue increased as well, finally posting a profit after several years of being supported by the SRC. MacGowan hopes to follow the success of last year by pulling Winterfest into the black too, as it becomes a more established Bishop’s tradition.

Although the budget presented had a $31,000 deficit, MacGowan was not concerned. She noted that the SRC is often under-budget by more than that figure, and also has respectable re-

serves accumulated over the years.

However,despite having reserves, the SRC has never been able to forego borrowing money from the school every summer to meet expenses until fall fees are forwarded to them.

Business Senator Jean-Philippe Allen suggested that an ad-hoc committee be formed to examine how best to spend these reserves; all eventually agreed. A single $5,000 SRC Professional Development Fund for students was also approved unanimously, along with $1,500 to be allotted for a peer advising program.

Finally everyone voted to officially approve the budget and the meeting moved on to other aspects of the SRC.

Forget Disney

The Drama Department presents Beauty and the Beast KATIE MANNERS Ar ts and Culture Editor

“

Welcome friends! I’m sure you’ve heard this story before, but we’ve got something new for you!”

Chris Bowe gestures to an invisible audience. He is perched atop a pile of folded stage curtains stacked on a counter in one of the Bishop’s Drama department change rooms. Accompanying him are three other actors who form a relaxed circle. It is two weeks before the opening night of Bishop’s next dramatic production, Beauty and the Beast, but the cast does not seem phased.

They are actors after all.

From Oct. 21 to 25, the Drama department is presenting a contemporary reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast. The six-person cast is excited to perform for the Bishop’s and greater community, however, they stress one thing: “Do not mention Disney.”

Matt Beaver, who plays the iconic Beast, does not want his audience to arrive under the assumption that they have already experienced his story. Instead, the Bishop’s production, which is rooted in the original fairy tale, is injected with moments of meta-theatre.

“We have two different worlds that collide,” said Natalie Demmon who plays Cecile, a narrator-character created specifically for this version of Beauty and the Beast. Demmon performs alongside Bowe, another narrator called The Man in Pink. The two are trickster-fairies with enough magical power to pause the better-known Beauty and the Beast storyline in order to discuss the narrative with the audience.

Breaking the fourth wall is not the only trick up these fairies’ sleeves, though.

“It’s a two-for-one deal,” said Patrick Grogan, who plays Beauty’s father.

“There will be magic tricks; there will be juggling–”

Roses are red, pirates are blue

“There will be metaphors!” Bowe cut in, exercising his meta-narrator powers off-stage. Though he did not divulge further, as he wanted to leave some mystery for opening night.

Until then, the cast rehearses.

“In one week, we spend three hours a day, every single day – four hours on Friday and Saturday – in the theatre [rehearsing],” said Beaver, who, like the rest of the cast, is a full-time student.

Outside of rehearsal time, the cast is also expected to learn their lines, attend costume fittings, and tech calls.

“You have to want to do it all goddamn day,” said Bowe, who not only learned his lines, but also spent five hours learning how to juggle specifically for the production.

Until the show closes on Oct. 25, the cast is expected to be in the theatre six days a week, and they believe their time spent rehearsing will be well worth it come opening night.

“[Beauty and the Beast] is one of the most magical and spectacular productions we’ve done at Bishop’s for quite a few years,” said Beaver who will be transformed into the Beast with the help of the costume department – and a lot of fur. An extravagant set is also being built to accommodate the romantic period attire that characters will dawn onstage.

The magical effects will be made possible by the help of multimedia technology.

“There are only six people in this cast and there’s so much going on,” said Demmon who also works closely with the costume department. Each cast member is more than just an actor or designer or juggler in this show; they become advocates.

“It’s an excellent take on the classic fairy tale that everyone loves,” said Bowe who urges community members to experience Beauty and the Beast like never before.

bilingualism and has also allowed her to reach out to European fans. Martin is due to play (with utmost anticipation) in Belgium, France, and Switzerland during her on-going tour.

Martin’s Quebecois followers were not disappointed at Friday’s show either.

The tour’s opener Félix Dyotte warmed the crowd as they settled into the architecturally stunning theatre. However, Martin and her four-person band stole the show. At dimly lit tables and across the packed dance floor, Coeur de Pirate fans revelled in Martin’s voice and spunky personality. This group of unexpectedly varied fans sang along to Martin’s tracks and responded well to her playful humour.

It was easy to hear the mature style and dramatic flair of Martin’s new album, the concert being a perfect example of this new sound. The crowd was given a taste of the singer’s experimentation with electronic beats and rap accom-

paniments. Much edgier than her 2008 and 2012 releases, Roses seems to best reflect the singer’s artistic growth and personal style. Halfway through the concert, Martin even took a break from her set-list to play Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home.” This addition not only pleased the crowd, but also displayed her versatility and comfort on stage in both languages.

After commending her talented band, performing her two-song encore, and thanking the night’s crowd, Martin took a moment to say she was very happy to be back in Sherbrooke. For Martin, the people were great, and it had been much too long. À tantôt, Béatrice.

bowls; this year she threw all 250 on her own.

Dohney started making the bowls this summer and has developed all new glazes, which she is testing with this year’s round of bowls.

When asked about the difficulty in throwing so many bowls, Doheny responded that it is largely others who are painting and glazing the bowls, so it isn’t too bad. Doheny also remarked that throwing the bowls helps in her

development as an artist, as she can try new shapes and forms.

When it comes to decorating the bowls, many have come together to make designs including local and famous artists, the CRC Aboriginal Association, the Bishop’s Education Department, Bishop’s Vice Principal Miles Turnbull, and anyone who attended the open studio days at the end of September.

At the event on Saturday, the organisers hope to have four groups of local and

student musicians playing in half-hour time slots, including members of the BU Music Society and some from Champlain.

There will also be two bowls to be raffled off, made by one of Canada’s oldest working potters Dean Mullavey. Mullavey’s pottery is known worldwide and often sells for over $200.

Tickets are still available at the Bishop’s Bookstore for $25; any leftover bowls will be sold for $25 as well.

Martin visited downtown Sherbrooke’s historic Granada Theatre to showcase her third album Roses, released Aug. 28, 2015. The Roses tour, both opening and closing in Quebec, features a mix of past favourites and Martin’s new collection of hits.

Coeur de Pirate’s new singles are played all over the province. Part of this Montreal-native’s success is due to the perfect French-English balance she maintains on each of her albums.

female cyborg survives on a dystopian planet befallen by plague. The lives of all Earthens are threatened, and cyborgs are drafted for lab tests to find the antidote. The only hope is for a treaty to be signed between the Earthens and the Lunars, but will it be enough?

Marissa Meyer presents this futuristic story in The Lunar Chronicles, which is currently a three part novel series.

Throughout the series we follow Cin-

der, Scarlet, and Cress, the titular characters of each novel. These characters experience emotional, life-threatening events that allow readers to become connected with the characters as they read on.

The novels depict reimagined, and well-known, fairy tales. Certain elements of these childhood tales are obvious in each novel. For instance, instead of a shoe, Cinder(ella) leaves her foot behind. This is a fresh and interesting new take on the beloved fairy tale that also fits into the novels’ sci-fi motif. By using

these well-known stories as the base for her novels, Marissa Meyers draws in the young adult readers by offering them an identifiable storyline with a few added twists.

It is easy to connect with the Lunar Chronicles, and therefore the series has something to offer to every reader. Classified under the science fiction/fantasy genre, the Lunar Chronicles have technological elements weaved into the characters’ daily lives. The novels are riddled with adventure and suspense, as well as some romance thrown in for those who

enjoy a good love story.

The novels draw in the reader with tales of a dystopian future, but they stay for the love of the characters. Readers establish a connection that prevents them from putting the book down.

Find out exactly what happens by reading the series by Marissa Meyer that starts with book one, Cinder.

Keep an eye out for the fourth instalment of the Lunar Chronicles, Winter, arriving at bookstores Nov. 12, 2015.

Michaela Norgren is a first year Biochemistry Major and part-time artist who attends Art Club to keep up her love of art.

“The Art Club has provided me with the opportunity to be creative and share my work with others,” said Norgren, “The club aims to teach anyone and everyone interested in art, regardless of their major. Personally, this has allowed me, as a Biochemistry Major, to continue doing something that I love. I was unable to take any art courses this semester, but I am still able to explore the world of art through this club.”

The goal of the Art Club is to bring Bishop’s diverse population together through the shared experience of the

arts. Whether individuals are members of the arts community, enjoy art as a pastime, or simply enjoy observing art, the Art Club wants to engage everyone.

Throughout the year, the Art Club will be hosting various events for Bishop’s students and faculty. These events will be varied, and the Art Club is open for suggestions if students are looking for a certain kind of experience.

In the Fall semester, the Art Club will be hosting a pumpkin carving festival on Oct. 25, as well as the annual Art Show at the Gait on Nov. 6.

What it lacks, however, is manufactured beauty. The small campus reflects the amount of student art; the opportunities for student artists, as well as art enthusiasts, are limited. This year, the Art Club plans to change that.

Last March the Art Club was able to bring some creative life to campus in the form of line art displays and various visual and dramatic workshops that all students could participate in.

When asked about the difficulty in throwing so many bowls, Doheny responded that it is largely others who are painting and glazing the bowls, so it isn’t too bad. Doheny also remarked that throwing the bowls helps in her development as an artist, as she can try new shapes and forms.

When it comes to decorating the

bowls, many have come together to make designs including local and famous artists, the CRC Aboriginal Association, the Bishop’s Education Department, Bishop’s Vice Principal Miles Turnbull, and anyone who attended the open studio days at the end of September.

At the event on Saturday, the organisers hope to have four groups of local and student musicians playing in half-hour time slots, including members of the BU Music Society and some from Champlain.

There will also be two bowls to be raffled off, made by one of Canada’s oldest working potters Dean Mullavey. Mullavey’s pottery is known worldwide and often sells for over $200.

Tickets are still available at the Bishop’s Bookstore for $25; any leftover bowls will be sold for $25 as well.

On October 18th , 1929, women were declared people in the eyes of the law.

Come out to the SUB on Monday, October 19th from 9-4 pm and join the Bishop’s University Gender Equity Centre for some celebratory treats and to discuss why we need feminism in Canada and the world at large.

Afterwards from 4-6 pm in the Paterson Assembly Hall, we will be watching and discussing the film “Girl Rising”, a film about the lives of nine girls from different parts of the world.

Information about treatment options from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and words of wisdom from a breast cancer survivor ASHA-MARIA BOST Features Editor

A

breast cancer survivor, who wished to remain anonymous, diagnosed with stage 3b breast cancer in 1998, shared her experiences with cancer.

There was a history of breast cancer in her family, and she had a mutation in one of the genes that creates tumoursuppressing proteins which help repair DNA damage. Without adequate DNA repair there is additional damage to the genome, which can sometimes cause uncontrollable cell division. As a result the cells can divide too often taking over the healthy body tissue.

The stage of the breast cancer depends on whether or not the cancer has grown, and/or spread to nearby tissue and/or to other parts of the body. The

lower the stage is, the less the cancer has grown and spread. Stage 0-III cancers can be treated using the method that works best for each individual cancer.

Stage IV cancer is when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body such as the bone and the brain and is considered incurable, although there are options to make living with incurable cancer more bearable.

There are many treatment options but they depend on the type of the breast cancer, the size of the tumour and the stage of the cancer. Surgery can help remove the tumour cells, but patients and doctors have to weigh the costs and benefits of removing the whole breast tissue versus only the tumour and a small amount of the surrounding areas.

Sometimes cancer cell growth is speeded by the hormone estrogen. As a

result, hormone therapy uses anti-estrogen compounds that prevent estrogen from attaching to the receptors on the cell membrane that recognize estrogen.

Cancer cells that cannot recognize estrogen cannot be treated with hormone therapy.

Another treatment is chemotherapy, which can be used before surgery to shrink tumours or after surgery to kill of the remaining cancer cells. The breast cancer survivor said that chemotherapy and losing her hair were the worst parts of her treatment but it is often necessary to kill the remaining cancer cells.

Radiation therapy is also used after surgery as it submits cells around the tumour to beams of radiation, which damages their DNA. With damaged DNA the cells will be unable to make the necessary proteins for survival. With radi-

ation treatment it is important to minimize radiation exposure so that it does not damage too many healthy cells.

The breast cancer survivor has some advice for people recently diagnosed with breast cancer: “a breast cancer diagnosis is NOT a death sentence”.

Treatment has improved over the years, and there are supports such as counselling, and peer support groups which can help with the anxiety and fear of the new diagnosis.

There are companies who provide high quality wigs and if you have to remove portions of your breast during treatment, you can have breast reconstructive surgery. The breast cancer survivor believes that having the support of her family helped her battle through the challenging treatment and recovery periods.

used to evaluate breast tissue with 3D imaging in addition to a screening mammogram. This is done simultaneously with the mammogram.

Presently, certain criteria must be met in order to have tomosynthesis, such as strong family history of breast cancer, very dense breast tissue and previous history of breast cancer. In the future this may become a routine screening tool.

Mammography is currently the leading screening exam to evaluate breast tumors.

Ultrasound and MRI are used as adjuncts before and after surgery.

Electronic medical records have made this process even quicker. All imaging is stored in PACS, which is a Picture Archiving and Communicating System, which enables physicians to look up images remotely, unlike in the past when all images were “hard copies”.

D

iane Kitchin, who works in radiography in the United States, had the time to share her thoughts about radiology, and how medical imaging techniques are used in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

How are imaging techniques used in diagnosis of cancer?

Medical imaging plays an important role in the screening, diagnosis and staging of cancer as well as treatment and follow up of many types of cancer.

There are several techniques used: Diagnostic X-Rays, Ultrasound, CAT Scan, MRI, PET Scan, Nuclear Medicine and Mammography.

If cancer is suspected, a biopsy procedure can be done in the radiology department utilizing the above techniques.

The most common guided biopsies

done in my Radiology Department are performed under Ultrasound, Mammography, CAT Scan and MRI depending upon the type of cancer the physician is looking for. The diagnosis is not made right away, as the tissue samples collected must be analyzed in the Laboratory. These are called Needle Guided Biopsies.

If a diagnosis of cancer is made, patients will follow the course of treatment with Radiation Therapy (if needed) and can be monitored into remission with the above mentioned techniques.

What screening techniques are used to show tumours in the breast tissues?

Breast Cancer screening techniques include Mammography (1st), Ultrasound and MRI. A fairly new imaging technique, Tomosynthesis is now being

A year ago today HALEY LEWIS Opinions Editor

F

acebook recently came out with a feature that brings up a post highlighting your activity from “a year ago today.”

This got me thinking, what was happening at Bishop’s, not necessarily “a year ago today,” but 70 years ago today.

To answer the question, I went where any student would go when they are in search of old literature: Bishop’s University’s Old Library located in McGreer.

The Old Library has a plethora of resources containing a special collection of books about the history of the Eastern Townships, Canada, and special volumes concerning Bishop’s University.

The most interesting for me were old copies of The Campus.

I grabbed what appeared to be the first issue of The Campus ever published, printed on Nov. 10, 1944.

This issue contained articles ranging from Bishop’s losing a soccer match and the proposition of a “Gossip Column” – how risqué – to congratulations for a campus alley-cat who had just given birth.

The Campus referred to Bishop’s as “Bish” and included subsections such as “Woman of the Issue” and “Man of the Issue” – a concept that I think we should bring back with some modifications, of course.

“He is quickly gaining fame as a college artist – and can he jitterbug.” The pages of The Campus exuded hilarity and humour as they attempted to include all students in the campuses going-ons.

A December issue asked students to sum up the parties they had gone to on the weekend, “…they wrestled in the living room, grabbed refreshments in the dining room and howled more or less melodiously at the front door!” The

summation shows us that Bishop’s had just as much fun 70 years ago as they do now, more or less.

Jumping ahead a decade to September 30th, 1959.

This issue contained a wide variety of articles related to incoming students and their first days as Gaiters.

Keeping with the times of the late 50s

early 60s, the language used throughout the first article was of a sort that made me laugh.

“By Thursday, the social and athletics side of the program was in full swing.

Baseball, basketball, touch football and soccer games were all well attended; the non-participating females no doubt were window shopping.”

After reading all of these old issues and hanging out for hours in the McGreer Old Library, I have one thing to suggest.

Pay the Old Library a visit and pick up an old copy of The Campus. Enjoy a trip back in time as you discover what life was like for a Bishop’s student 70 years ago.

electronic devices and daily stresses are a huge part of our lives, it is nice to take a break and go for a walk outside.

Thanksgiving proves to be a beneficial time of year. It is important to be grateful as the act of being thankful improves physical, psychological, and mental health, all the while increasing self-esteem.

There’s no better way to get a sense of what people are thankful for than to ask them. The students at Bishop’s are thankful for a wide variety of things; the following is just a small sample of what some students are thankful for.

“I am thankful for all the blessings in my life. I am blessed to be part of a community like Bishop’s that allows me to grow, get to know myself more every

day, and above all, to be me. It has allowed me to meet amazing people every day who are the best kind people in the world. I feel blessed to be able to study here in Lennoxville.”

“I am thankful that my mother’s chemotherapy is working and that I can spend the Thanksgiving holidays with her!”

“I am thankful that my life hasn’t been easy, because it has made me strong. I am thankful because I know how to love and I am loved. I am thankful that I have the capacity to put others needs in front of mine and that I am able to put aside my pride when needed.”

“I am thankful for the sun that provides us with energy, for the trees that provide us with oxygen, for the water,

for the moon and the stars.”

“I am thankful to have food every day, a bed to sleep on every night, and a place to call home.”

“I am thankful for my dog and the unconditional love he provides.”

“I am thankful for delicious foods and celebrations, such as birthdays, that bring families and friends together.”

“I am thankful for my family and friends.”

“I am thankful for Bishop’s.”

Renowned poet Henry David Thoreau said, “I am grateful for what I am and have. My Thanksgiving is perpetual.”

Hopefully, you had a very happy Thanksgiving and were able to take a few moments to reflect back on and realize what you are truly thankful for.

ctober is the time of year in Canada where many of us take a moment to reflect back on our lives, be thankful, and count our blessings.

It is important to realize that every day is a gift and every second is worth being appreciated.

Traditionally, Thanksgiving is a time people spend with the ones they love, appreciate all aspects of life, and most of all, eat a delicious home cooked meal.

Fall brings about cooler temperatures, seasonal delicacies – like hot apple cider and anything pumpkin flavoured – and fall foliage!

These amazing fall colours play a huge role in reminding us how magnificent and important nature is. Nature acts as a de-stressor and rejuvenator; so while

ou are rid of your parents, can ignore your siblings, and finally carve out your own space in the world. You get to experience all sorts of highs and lows like living on your own for the first time and being the only one who cares if you make it to class.

The responsibility lies with you, the student. University is the time for you to create you own coming of age story, shaping the adult that you hope to be.

Now that frosh and homecoming are both over and classes have started, how do you make the most of your Bishop’s experience? The answer: Find your niche.

First start with your faculty, get to know the people in your program and your professors. You’ll be spending more and more time with them as the year progresses.

I cannot stress the importance of this

point. Yes, you have your friends from residence and frosh week but making friends in your program is key, branch out a bit.

Your class sizes will get smaller, so it is important to become friends with a select few from your program so you can have someone to sit with in class, and a few names to call on when you don’t understand an assignment.

I understand how tricky this can be; I started out in Political Science, migrated to French then settled on a double major in French and English. As a fourth year senior, I can honestly say that some of my closest friends are also in my department.

The next time you find yourself in class, say hello to the person sitting next to you instead of sitting absent-mindedly next to them for the remainder of the semester. This person may easily be-

come a lifesaver.

Go to class, go to class, go to class! If you do the calculations, every class you skip averages out to be about a $70 loss (depending on your tuition rate).

There may be a 0% chance you’ll learn everything you need to know in classrooms, but that does not mean it is not worth going.

You’ll need to get lucky. However, luck can be engineered. Expose yourself to the possibility of good things. Luck happens when hard work meets opportunity.

Start assignments early! Do not leave your assignments and revisions to the last minute. Trust me, speaking from my own (painful) experience, leaving a 4,000-word essay until the day before it is due is not a barrel of laughs.

Join a club! Did you know that Bishop’s has well over 60 academic and so-

cial clubs? The clubs available on campus range from bowling to jack.org and BU Ski & Snow. Don’t be afraid to join a group or maybe even start a new one!

Need a job? Get one on campus! Working on campus is a great opportunity to become more familiar with your school, faculty, and programs.

Last but not least, don’t waste money.

With a student bank account, it is so easy to allow yourself to delve into that overdraft. Try your best to budget your money. Lennoxville is a lot cheaper than the real world; don’t let yourself build up $30,000 worth of debt by the time you graduate.

The most important thing of all: Have fun. Bishop’s is a great place, and if you do not love it already, you will. Trust me on this one.

Tim Horton’s - Always Sustainable NATALIE HICKEY Contributor

A

s a university student, that has a slight caffeine addiction, and a proud Hamiltonian, I’m really excited to talk about Tim Horton’s as a sustainable business.

I’ve spent some time this month reading Tim Horton’s Sustainability and Responsibility Report from 2014. They highlight several areas in which they are putting effort towards being more aware of the people and the environment that affect their businesses.

First, I learned that since 2012, Tim Horton’s has made it clear that their hot beverage cups are 100% recyclable.

Although this seems a little obvious, I think it’s something all customers might not know. In terms of packaging, the cups are not only recyclable; they are also made with recycled materials.

Tim Horton’s created these initiatives with help from Stewardship Ontario, an organization that works with municipalities to adapt existing recycling programs and plants to new technologies and products.

The second sustainable-effort area I’ve noticed personally in Tim Horton’s restaurants is the waste sorting bins. Several fast food restaurants have stuck to the “one-bin-for-all-waste” model, but Tim Horton’s has stepped up and created four separate bins for different kinds of waste: paper recyclable, plastic recyclable,

organic waste, and non-organic waste.

The bins also have photos indicating which products belong where, which I think is the hardest part for restaurant goers – knowing what goes where.

The final point of the report, and the one that I find the most interesting, is Tim Horton’s Green Building Design. In Hamilton alone, I noticed that almost all the new and renovated restaurants looked a lot different than the older designs.

Something about them was innovative and fresh, but I was never quite sure what that something was. Now, I have some insight.

The renovated and new buildings were fitted with LED lighting, which reduced energy consumption by up to 60%. The company also installed more windows and introduced “day lighting” (not turning on overhead lighting during the day) to reduce energy consumption.

I noticed the stores were definitely brighter and less fluorescent looking: a huge plus for coffee dates and studying.

Now, I know some of you may question the validity of this information, because it’s coming straight from Tim Horton’s company website. I don’t blame you; I did too. That’s why I did more research.

Corporate Knights, a magazine dedicated

to “clean capitalism” ranked Tim Horton’s number 1 of “Canada’s 50 Best Corporate Citizens.”

This report credits Tim Horton’s “meaningful, structured and long-term partnership” with aboriginal communities as one of the company’s highlights (a massive contributor for social sustainability!).

It also cites the coffee company’s commitment to addressing concerns surrounding the production of palm oil in Indonesia, Malaysia, and India as one of its environmental and social sustainability measures.

I think this proves that not only is Tim Horton’s proud of the work they do, but the media has also taking note and started talking about it.

Hopefully, if you’re a dedicated Tim Horton’s fan like I am, this will make you feel good about getting your second Double-Double of the day (or your third). If you’re not quite a super-fan yet, maybe this will convert you.

It always makes me feel good when I discover that the brands I know and love are also doing their part in making our world a better place.

Do you ever really die?

HAYLEY WINCH Contributor

S

o you died. Your presence in the physical world is gone. The real question is what happens to your online presence? If you die in real life, do you die in the virtual world? All those personal profiles on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are still right where you left them.

Your body may have passed away, but your online self will continue to live on through the last posts that you left to linger on the Internet and through the people who write anecdotes on your timeline.

Do you ever go through your old Facebook posts see some ridiculous thing you wrote in middle school? Death does not erase your online presence, instead leaving a piece of you saved in a digital realm for eternity.

You may have stopped posting on Facebook, but that does not mean that Facebook has forgotten about you.

Memorial pages are a common creation made by family and friends in your honor to keep your legacy alive. Friends, family, acquaintances, and that one guy from high school, all post condolences and memories of your life on a page dedicated to you. Your personal profile will remain active unless someone has your password and decides to deactivate it upon your passing. The same goes for every single other profile you have, and chances are you have quite a few.

Facebook recently announced that it allows you to designate a friend or

PHOTO COURTESY MASHABLE.COM

family member to be your Facebook “estate executor” and manage your account when you are dead.

Facebook users can choose a “legacy contact” to make one last post on their behalf once they die. This contact can

respond to new friend requests, update cover photos and profile pictures, and archive old Facebook posts and photos.

Just because you are not the one maintaining your profile, it does not mean that your death is the end of your pres-

ence on social media. Inactive accounts can also be easily hacked and used for someone else’s personal purposes.

Heard of the TV show Catfish? The most popular site for those people is Facebook. Yes, more often than not, it is a fake account that they create. However, that does not mean the account you have now cannot be reconfigured to fit their needs once you stop using it.

Facebook is only the beginning. Most major search engines, Google especially, make it easy to steal photos or look up someone’s status. A quick search of your name will give hundreds of results including all of your known social media accounts and any other significant events in your life. Any account that can be directly linked to you will show up in the first few pages. Your once glorified profile picture will be on the third page of images.

Any memorial information will more than likely end up online with the way that our society is becoming dependent upon technology, thus only preserving your online self even longer.

Unless you take special considerations to delete accounts before your death or have a plan in place for after you pass, you will remain alive in the virtual world until a company decides to shut down.

Even then, you’ll be floating in a cloud – a data cloud, that is.

A

t some point, every university student that goes to school in a different city will miss home. They will

miss their parents, their pets, homemade meals, maybe even their bed. The Thanksgiving holiday offers an oppor-

PHOTO COURTESY 20TH CENTURY FOX TELEVISION

tunity for students to go back home for a long weekend.

Of course, there are pros and cons to every situation. For exchange and international students, going home is not an option, unlike those who have the luxury of living within a day’s drive.

The pros definitely outweigh the cons on this one.

For one, you get to see your family and possibly even extended family. You can update them on all of the adventures that Bishop’s University has to offer.

Thanksgiving offers students a way out of the Lennoxville bubble and gives the first real break from any school related functions. It is a break from classes, midterms, and homework - mostly. The holidays provide a break we all need.

During Thanksgiving, campus turns into a ghost town with most students leaving for home. There is no need to worry if you do not follow the stream of cars and buses heading out of town. For those who do stay, a special Dewhurst dinner is arranged so that no one misses out on a traditional Canadian feast.

For those who leave campus, the prom-

ise of a home cooked meal is enough to lure any student home.

Travelling home for the holidays is one of the best ways to take a real break from everything and cut back on some of the stress and pressure that we all feel around this time.

A relaxing weekend in a familiar place can seriously help one’s mental stability.

There are of course negative aspects, but only a few. Returning home for this delicious holiday brings back many good feelings, but you the have to deal with the family rules that you have probably forgotten in the month and a half of living on your own at university.

Family dynamics may cause some stress. The holidays can be a bit hectic with the pressures of having a perfect family gathering. With such a short amount of time, many students also try to cram in many things over the weekend, visiting not only family but also friends.

Hopefully, you went home, enjoyed thanksgiving and found that it was worth the trip.

Twitter: a tool for democracy KATHARINE MUSSELLAM Contributor

L

ast week, Edward Snowden joined Twitter using the handle @Snowden.

Just one hour after joining, he had already accumulated over 170 000 followers. Since then, that number has grown to over 1 million. On Oct. 1, he tweeted that he had received 47 gigabytes of email notifications for every follow, favourite, retweet, and direct message since he had joined.

Contrastingly, Snowden still only follows one Twitter account himself: the NSA. So far, Snowden has tweeted to scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who welcomed him to Twitter, as well as a link to a web page with tips for protecting oneself against NSA surveillance and other information about online surveillance around the world.

While these might not be what one calls revolutionary, it is a start. With over a million people following Snowden, Twitter has the potential for creating change in the future.

Snowden may well be one of our leaders going forward, or at least help bring change through public awareness.

Twitter has the potential to be used

as a platform for the interrogation of democracy and to combat against corruption. This potential is demonstrated in through Chelsea Manning, another whistleblower, who joined Twitter in April.

Manning’s leaks predate Snowden’s, but unlike Snowden she is currently serving a prison sentence for her actions. Similarly, to Snowden, her leaks were considered treason even though her motivation was to inform the public about injustice and corruption within the U.S. military.

Since joining Twitter under the handle @xychelsea, Manning has tweeted about her experiences in prison. She continues to expose both the positive and negative aspects of the U.S. military system.

This past summer, Manning faced possible solitary confinement for charges including “Medicine Misuse,” because of an expired tube of toothpaste found in her cell, and having “prohibited property,” which included the book I Am Malala and issues of Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan. All were confiscated from her.

The documents detailing the grounds for Manning’s charges were posted to her Twitter page. A petition against her solitary confinement was shared on the

social media site and accumulated over 100 000 signatures.

While Manning was still found guilty, the awareness of her situation encouraged support from those who signed her petition. Her attorney believes this support contributed to Manning being given the punishment of a 21-day ban on leisure activities instead of solitary.

While Manning and Snowden’s battles against corruption are far from over, their activity on Twitter is an indication

that when the medium will be an important tool for inciting change.

With so many people watching, Snowden has the potential to make a difference. Many people will gain a better understanding of the issues that Snowden raises. This awareness comes with the power to defend our right for democracy.

Are we a bunch of obnoxious drunkards?

HALEY LEWIS Opinions Editor

I

’ve always thought of Bishop’s to be a place that exudes a plentiful amount of school spirit at a level that other universities cannot even begin to compete against.

However, am I the only one who thinks this way?

What are we, as a collective, perceived as to outsiders?

Are Bishop’s students seen as school spirited fans or a bunch of obnoxious drunkards?

In a recent McGill Facebook post for an upcoming lacrosse game against Bishop’s, they had a few choice words to say about us Gaiters: “… in addition to having a mascot that is an article of clothing that went out of style with the advent of wool socks, the Gaiters’ community represents one of the most distasteful band of vagabonds ever to call themselves ‘fans.’”

This outraged me and furthered my sense of curiosity as to what outsiders think of us. Is this post due to McGill’s competitive mentality or is this their real perception of us Gaiters?

As many of you know, Homecoming was a week ago. My sister was going pay me a visit, and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to get a review of Bishop’s from someone who goes to Ryerson and has no idea what being a Gaiter is all about.

I asked my sister if she would mind coming up with five points that would accurately sum up a weekend spent with a bunch of Bishop’s Gaiters.

Would she trade in her blue and gold for purple and white? Or would a weekend at Bishop’s send her running for the hills?

The following is a Ryerson Rams account of homecoming spent with the Bishop’s Gaiters.

Lennoxville is a beautiful little town and being from such a big city, it was weird (but also great) to see how close everyone seemed to be. That was the first vibe I got; it even started at the Metro Station in Montreal!

I was trying to Metro from the Megabus station to the Transdev station when this couple came up to me and said, “You look like you are going to Bishop’s.” Being exGaiters themselves, they pointed me in the right direction and wished me good luck at homecoming.

I both enjoyed and was shocked by how friendly everyone was towards me. Evidently, I was not as outgoing as usual, being put in a new situation, but I felt very comfortable from Happy Hour to the Men’s Rugby Game and the Tailgate. This was definitely because of the students at Bishop’s.

I was thoroughly impressed by the amount of purple everyone seemed to have accumulated. It seemed as if everyone made it his or her job to find the most unique amount of purple things as possible.

I did feel like I could not keep up, and if I did go to Bishop’s my liver would be long since dead.

I found the school spirit insane and enthralling, especially compared to that of a big city university like Ryerson. Everything about the chants, cheering, and applause made you want to be a part of the Bishop’s community. It was so fun to be included and given the chance to sport purple for the weekend!”

Okay, so maybe this account is not totally unbiased. I told my sister to be as honest as she wanted, and these are the results I got.

Overall, I think Bishop’s is a pretty great place with a plentiful amount of school spirit, and McGill is just bitter they are not invited to the party.

98th NHL Season Opens with a Bang MIKE STANLEY Spor ts Writer

O

n Wednesday, Oct. 7, hockey fans rejoiced over opening day of the 2015-’16 season. A new season offers a clean slate for many teams aiming to rebuild or pursue a championship. Along with a clean slate, a new campaign also becomes the perfect setting for redemption, as well as an opportunity for younger players to make a name for themselves in the hockey world.

Here’s a look at a five players to keep an eye on heading into the new year: Justin Abdelkader – Detroit Red Wings The Michigan native has paid his dues and worked hard to finally earn himself a spot alongside Captain Henrik Zetterberg on the first line. Abdelkader provides a strong body that’s hard to move, and his presence in front of the net continues to be an asset for Detroit. Keep an eye on him this season as he prepares to set a career high in points. His opening night hat-trick against the Toronto Maple Leafs puts him in a good position to do just that.

Aaron Ekblad – Florida Panthers Ekblad turned a lot of heads and

put the hockey world on notice last year when his defensive play was good enough to earn all-star honours and win the Calder trophy for rookie of the year at age 19. Look for him to take another step forward this season as he adds maturity and confidence to his game. Combined with a high hockey IQ, his skills will give him a great chance to take home the Norris trophy for best defenseman, and more importantly, help the Panthers with their playoff push.

Alex Galchenyuk – Montreal Canadiens The speedster will be playing at his natural position of center this year.

That’s good news, especially since he’ll be playing alongside Lars Eller, as well as veteran and fellow Russian Alexander Semin. Galchenyuk has managed to impress Habs fans every season since entering the league with his shooting ability and displays of speed and puck handling. After a strong showing in the preseason, it feels like he could be in for a career year.

Sean Monahan – Calgary Flames Sean Monahan seems poised to do big

things in his third season with Calgary.

He’s already emerged as a top faceoff man and appears ready to step up in every way possible. Look for him to improve on last year’s point total of 62 as he continues to develop alongside teammates Johnny Gaudreau and Jiri Hudler.

Evander Kane – Buffalo Sabres Evander is dynamic and extremely versatile. That spells trouble for opposing teams. Buffalo is not going to contend

for the Cup in 2015, but if Kane can join forces with upstart Jack Eichel to create a formidable duo, the Sabres might have the blueprint to become something special down the road. At just 24 years of age, Kane already has six seasons of experience and 109 goals under his belt.

Look for Kane to develop a voice in the locker room and take on a leadership role, as he is already a seasoned veteran on this young team.

“

What kind of goal do you hope to achieve?” That’s the central question any trainer will ask when someone with a desire for change hits the gym for the first time. Once established, there are many aspects of a workout that one can consider in order to reach said goal at an appropriate pace.

One frequently mentioned concern for beginners deals with how many reps and sets they should be doing. Needless to say, if you decide to do more reps, using weights that are heavier than the load you’d normally use for even a small amount of reps would be a challenge.

But why change how many reps you do?

Why not just go until failure with the same weight every time?

There are generally three energy systems in the body. The first, known as the ATP-PC system, is used for exercises that last no longer than 15 seconds. The second is the anaerobic glycolysis system, which is used for exercises that last between 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Third is the oxidative energy system used for exercises that stretch (no pun intended) over 2 minutes. These energy systems are used to determine how many reps you should do depending on what system you want to train. Endurance run-

ners have no use doing a one rep max squat as that would develop their ATPPC, a system that has no impact on running marathons.

People looking to train for maximal strength and power should focus on the ATP-PC system. This is a preferred choice for most football athletes, especially those playing on the defensive line.

The recommended rep range is 1-3 reps

using 85-100% of your one repetition maximum weight (1RM), which is defined as the maximum amount of force that can be generated in one maximal contraction.

Training for strength involves use of the ATP-PC as well as the anaerobic glycolysis energy systems. If you’re looking to improve on strength, 4-6 reps (about 10-20 seconds of effort) at 75-85% of

your 1RM is a good benchmark.

Training for hypertrophy or muscle mass requires working in the 8-12 rep range at 60-75% of your 1RM. This also involves the same two systems that are used when training for strength; there is a larger emphasis on the anaerobic glycolysis energy system.

When training for endurance, be it for a 1500m race or a long hockey shift, you’ll want to use about 60% of your 1RM and perform upwards of 15 reps.

The effort should also last for over 45 seconds.

These are some of the basic guidelines to keep in mind the next time you plan to visit the gym or take on a program.

Of course, you may have to find out what suits you best via trial and error, but this should serve as a guiding principle that will help you when comparing your workout rep ranges. Figure out your goals, whether they involve lifting as heavy as possible or simply looking as muscular as possible, then build your workout program off of your goals.

It may take longer than you expect to achieve the results you’re looking for, but if you’re dedicated enough, the hard work will ultimately pay off.

The Great NBA MVP Debate DAN GILBERT Spor ts Editor

I

t was a highly scrutinized subject before the winner of the award was announced back in May, and it still remains a great topic of conversation today. Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry was named the NBA’s most valuable player for the 2014-15 season, but many still believe that the decision was a reach. One of those sceptics is none other than the runner-up for the award himself, James Harden.

Did the voters get it right? That’s a question that might stay on people’s minds until it’s time to discuss a new MVP. Bottom line is, at the end of the day, the choice was made and nothing is going to change that - regardless of how many times Harden publicly expresses his disapproval. But for the sake of a healthy discussion, it’s always fun to dig deeper in an attempt to discover who exactly has the best-case based purely on statistical output.

In his sixth year with the Warriors, Stephen Curry averaged 23.8 points, 7.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 2 steals shooting .487 from the field, .443 from three point range, and .914 from the free throw line. Harden, on the other hand, averaged 27.4 points, 7 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.9 steals. The numbers look slightly better in the major categories, however his shooting slash line of .440/.375/.868 are inferior to that of Curry’s across the board.

The player efficiency rating (PER) is an all-in-one basketball rating which attempts to boil down all of a player’s contributions into one number; according to this metric, Curry has the edge as his PER of 28.06 tops Harden’s 26.76.

What’s interesting to note is that neither player ranked among the top two in PER.

In just his third season, Pelicans big man Anthony Davis led the pack with a PER of 30.89 and nearly became the first player since Shaquille O’Neal to average at least 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks in a single season. That’s quite the feat considering Shaq did that fifteen years ago on his way to winning the MVP award, yet surprisingly, Davis doesn’t get as much love as he should when it comes to winning such an honour.

Perhaps that’s because he didn’t lead his team to enough wins during the

regular season. That could very well be one of the key reasons why the majority of the voters ultimately sided with Curry, who was the biggest contributor to an NBA best 67-15 record that the Warriors amassed last year. Winning 67 games isn’t exactly easy to pull off; in fact, it’s only been done ten times in a league that has spanned over half a century.

Still, Harden isn’t sold on it, and though he does come off as bitter on some level, his reservations aren’t exactly uncalled for either. After all, it’s fair to say that

behind a shaky offensive line in the Miami Dolphins’ loss to the New York Jets at London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday. If the woes for Miami’s o-line continue, Tannehill’s value as a starter will remain limited. That said, a bye week and a head coaching change might just be what the doctor ordered. With Joe Philbin gone, expect the backfield to see an increase in production heading into Week 6.

from teammate Isaiah Crowell. With the Browns expecting to trail in many games going forward, Duke should prove to be an asset in points-per-reception (PPR) leagues with plenty of growing upside as his usage experiences a boost.

NFL Fantasy Football: Week 4 Update

Curry did benefit from having a tremendous supporting cast that included fellow splash brother Klay Thompson, versatile swingman Andre Iguodala, as well as defensive studs Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut.

Despite having to endure a fairly large portion of the season without his star centre Dwight Howard, Harden managed to lead his Houston Rockets to 56 wins, which was good enough to claim the second best seed in the Western conference. For what it’s worth, Harden did surpass Curry in one particular advanced metric called wins above replacement (which is an estimation used to determine the impact an individual has on his team), however he did so by a minute margin.

When the biggest stage known as the playoffs arrived and both players went head to head, it was Curry who got the last laugh, averaging over 31 points to Harden’s 28 and sending Houston home after a decisive 4-1 series victory. Not long afterwards, the Davidson product took on a LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers squad in the NBA Finals and averaged 26 points on his way to claiming his first NBA championship.

Say what you want about Stephen Curry; whether the help is there or not, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that he’s a bonafide superstar and the clear cut best player on his team. Not only did he lead his team to one of the five best winning percentages in NBA history, he also helped capture a world title for a franchise that hadn’t tasted any kind of glory since 1975. For that alone, Curry is more than deserving of being called the league’s most valuable player.

T

he fourth week of the 2015-’16 NFL season saw 14 missed field goals and four missed extra points that undoubtedly played a deciding factor in tightly contested fantasy matchups. If you’re a fantasy football owner, here’s what you need to know:

C.J. Anderson emerged as an elite running back for the Denver Broncos last year and came into this season with a ton of hype. Through four games, however, the Cal product has rushed for a measly 117 yards and has yet to find the end zone. His lack of productivity has opened the door for Ronnie Hillman, who is now making a case for the first string. With Anderson on the verge of reaching fantasy obscurity, selling low while people might still have interest in him could be the best move.

Ryan Tannehill was blitzed all game

First year running back Duke Johnson Jr. was a fantasy sleeper coming into the season. In week 4, the prayers of fantasy owners were answered. The Browns coaching staff followed through on their promise to give Johnson more touches.

When that happened, Duke exploded for nine catches, 85 yards, and a touchdown. Though his rushing numbers for the season don’t jump off the page, his pass-catching abilities separate him

After a fairly successful run in the windy city, wide receiver Brandon Marshall took his talents to the Big Apple and joined the Jets receiving corps. Lingering ankle issues and a punctured lung prevented him from having the season most would have hoped for last year, but rejuvenated health and playing alongside a competent quarterback in Ryan Fitzpatrick has allowed him to return to fantasy dominance. Marshall has three touchdowns and has averaged at least 100 receiving yards per game since the start of the season. He’s undoubtedly proved to be a steal for those who picked him up in middle rounds as a second or

third option at the receiver position.

That said, it’s fair to question whether Marshall can continue playing at a high level. After all, Fitzpatrick does have a history of regressing, as evidenced by his short tenures at his previous five NFL teams, and Marshall is known for being injury-prone. Selling high while his value is extremely favorable may be in your best interest.

A year removed from ACL reconstruction surgery, St. Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley carried the load in Sunday’s 24-22 upset of the Arizona Cardinals. The rookie ran the ball 21 times and recorded 161 all-purpose yards despite a lackluster performance from his offensive line. Look for Gurley to do something similar against the Green Bay Packers and their suspect run defence.

Men’s Rugby team puts dent in Montreal’s undefeated streak DAN GILBERT Spor ts Editor

E

ighth Man Lee Hudson scored a try for the Bishop’s Gaiters 31 minutes into Friday’s RSEQ Men’s Rugby contest to give Bishop’s a lead they did not relinquish. The Gaiters made a statement as they bested the previously undefeated Montreal Carabins 20-12 on Coulter Field to cap off the annual triple-header on homecoming Friday.

Despite all the discomfort in his body, Hudson (Sutton, Que.) battled through his nagging pains and stood out for the purple. He helped the Gaiters bounce

back from a sluggish start to earn their third consecutive win of the year and improve their record to 3-1-0.

The Carabins got on the board first when they jumped out to an early 7-0 lead just three minutes into the game. Bishop’s then responded at the 20-minute mark before Hudson gave Bishop’s a lead that proved to be the difference. Captain Nic Charlton (Montreal) kicked through a penalty on the last play of the first half, and Bishop’s was up 15-7 at the break. The Carabins cut into the lead four minutes into the second half.

A resilient Bishop’s group fought back to earn their third try of the night less than

five minutes later to give them a 20-12 lead, an advantage they maintained until the final whistle Defence was the name of the game for the Gaiters. Head coach Charles Goode employed a shift defence that proved to be effective against an imposing Montreal attack. Additionally, a great kicking game played a key factor. The boys felt the pressure, especially in the rucks and scrums, but they took advantage of their size and dominated the mauls.

“That was the longest second half of my entire life,” said Gaiters coach Charles Goode. “Montreal had the ball for most of the half and we were able to

hold them to only one try. We’ve been working hard on our defense; I’m proud of how we implemented it tonight.”

The timing could not have been better for Bishop’s with another undefeated team in McGill on their schedule. The boys anticipate a test, but as always, they look forward to the challenge. A road win over McGill would allow the Gaiters to overtake them in the standings and establish themselves as the top squad in the RSEQ conference. The 7 p.m. game will be contested on Friday, Oct. 9 at Percival-Molson Stadium. The Gaiters will return to Coulter Field on Oct. 16 when they face ETS.

Redmen make statement, spoil BU’s homecoming DAN GILBERT Spor ts Editor

A

festive tailgate party that preceded the annual homecoming contest between the Bishop’s Gaiters and McGill Redmen on Oct. 3 may have been the only thing fans ended up cheering for. With their playoff hopes in the balance, McGill came to Coulter Field and spoiled the Saturday matinee in a 53-11 rout over Bishop’s, moving one step closer to a postseason berth.

The lone bright spot for the Gaiters was halfback Vincent

Davignon, who returned to the lineup for the first time since an injury in the season opener kept him on the sideline for a month. His 100 rushing yards on 19 carries marked the highlight of what was a long day for BU. A chilly afternoon didn’t prevent a raucous crowd of 2,019 faithful fans and alumni from making their presence felt. Despite playing against the wind, McGill got on the board first after rookie quarterback Nicolas English connected with Yannick Langelier-Vanasse on a 23-yard

touchdown pass. The fifth year wideout finished with seven receptions and a game high 73 receiving yards.

McGill continued to pour salt on the wound, adding six touchdowns that, with the exception of a field goal, went unanswered until the Gaiters found the end zone courtesy of a Jamall Hyman-Hamilton rushing touchdown in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter.

By then it was too late and the damage had been done.

“I think it all starts with the preparation. We have a new of-

fensive coordinator this year, and he’s doing an incredible job getting us ready for every game; I just think we’re confident,” Langelier-Vanasse said about the win. “We trust the coaches, we trust the guys on the offense, and we just executed and it paid off today.”

The blowout gave Bishop’s head coach Kevin Mackey a chance to take a look at a fourth different quarterback this year.

Replacing Mathieu Demers in the final quarter, Kyle Sheahan (Ottawa) had a decent showing, completing 9 of 13 pass at-

tempts for 91 yards. As it stands, all Bishop’s quarterbacks have combined for just one touchdown pass on the season.

As a result of every team in the RSEQ conference having a bye over Thanksgiving weekend, the Gaiters will have time to re-group before they return to action. They will have an opportunity to bounce back and pick up their second win of the season on Saturday, Oct. 19 when they face the Concordia Stingers (2-2) in Montreal.
