Do Something U of S provides volunteer opportunities for students JALINE BROQUEZA Having started in 2013 and going into their third year as a community, the University of Saskatchewan student group Do Something continues to provide more opportunities for students who want to make a difference and are keen on helping others.

The U of S student group is one of the many branches of Do Something, a non-profit organization with approximately 4.2 million members in 130 countries worldwide.

Those involved with the initiative take part in creating campaigns and fundraisers that target different issues in society. For the U of S branch, some of the main causes over the past two years included homelessness and poverty in Saskatoon, human rights, animal rights, education and literacy, discrimination and physical and mental health.

Emily McEwen, president of Do Something U of S, speaks to how the initiative operates within the campus community.

“Basically, we make connections with different groups around Saskatoon and provide volunteer opportunities for students. We have a bunch of students that want to volunteer and then a bunch of organizations that need volunteers and so we then make those connections,” McEwen said.

Do Something U of S also has several causes that they are passionate about, and they

even plan some of their own events. One such event is happening during the first week of October. The community is going to have a bake sale in the Health Sciences Building for the Syrian refugees and the money raised will be matched by the Canadian government.

In addition, the group is hosting a pub-crawl in November for the refugee crisis.

Moreover, on Sept. 21-22, the group partnered with OneMatch, an extension of Canadi-

an Blood Services, to host “Get Swabbed,” where students volunteered to have their cheeks swabbed as a means of registering as potential stem cell donors. The event has been going strong since the community’s first year and has been able to add over 200 people to Canada’s bone marrow donor registry.

McEwen adds that by getting involved with the community, one can learn their strengths and be reminded that what we

are capable of doing matters and can lead to positive outcomes in someone else’s life.

“A lot of students struggle with finding a sense of purpose, belonging and a reason to get out of bed in the morning, and I really think that student groups can be a great way to work through those struggles,” McEwen said.

Tia Lynn, public relations representitive for Do Something U of S, also shares her experience with the community.

“One of the best parts about volunteering with Do Something is the friendships formed between myself and like-minded peers who strive to make a difference, pursue positive change and take action in making our community a better place for everyone,” Lynn said in an email to the Sheaf.

Do Something U of S also has an ongoing partnership with The Lighthouse, where once a month, they send a crew of volunteers to go run the community kitchen. The group is also planning to help out with the Saskatoon Food Bank and is setting up a partnership with LutherCare Special Care Home near the university. The group is always looking for new ideas whether from old, new or non-members.

Courtney Onstad, vicepresident of Do Something U of S, understands some students’ hesitation to take on yet another commitment but insists it is a worthy cause.

“It's very easy to become overwhelmed with our busy schedules and give up on getting involved. We just have to push through those tough times and realize that time is precious so we must make the most of it,” Onstad said in an email to the Sheaf.

“My advice to students: it's tough, but get involved anyway. You'll realize how much more productive you are, how many new people you can meet and how enjoyable you can make your experience at university. Just do something!”

The mission of the Sheaf is to inform and entertain students by addressing those issues that are relevant to life on campus, in the city, or in the province. The newspaper serves as a forum for discussion on a wide range of issues that concern students. Written for students by students, the staff of editors, photographers, and artists collaborate with volunteers as studentjournalists to produce a product with relevance to the university community. With each composition, the Sheaf stays in touch with students on the U of S campus. It provides unique insight to university issues through a student perspective. @thesheaf1912 /thesheaf1912 @thesheaf1912 If you would like to contribute to the Sheaf, email editor@thesheaf.com for more information.

#USaskVotes: An initiative to promote student voter engagement JESSICA QUAN The upcoming federal election taking place on Oct. 19 is only weeks away and the University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union, along with numerous student groups and individuals, have taken initiative to encourage political participation among students by launching the #USaskVotes campaign.

Elections Canada reported that in the 2011 federal election, 75.1 per cent of individuals between the ages of 55–64 voted, while only 38.8 per cent of individuals between the ages of 18–24 cast their vote. This trend of low voter turnout has been historically persistent within the youth demographic, which includes a substantial portion of university students.

Multiple roadblocks have prevented students from vot-

ing in previous elections, such as unfamiliarity and inaccessibility with the voter registration and ballot-casting processes, as well as a lack of political interest or knowledge of party platforms.

David York, U of S associate professor in the department of political studies, argues that the political disengagement of university students is problematic for the larger picture of what a healthy democratic society should ideally look like.

“In terms of elections and election cycles, the more engaged a group is, the more efficacy that system has — people feel like they can do something and in fact their vote matters — in the end, political power stems from the people,” York said.

USSU vice-president student affairs Kehan Fu states that the intention of this campaign is not only geared

towards highlighting the importance of voting and politics, but to make this process fun and interactive through events and social media.

“Not only do we want to emphasize voting but we want to emphasize voting as something not designed to be old or out-dated,” Fu said.

A debate forum on Sept. 30 in Atrium D in the Health Sciences building included local party candidates from various ridings throughout Saskatoon debating topics concerned with student issues.

Events in conjunction with #USaskVotes include a Trivia Night on Oct. 8 and a Lip-Sync Battle on Oct. 19 featuring DJ Kidalgo. These events will both be taking place at Louis’ Pub and aim to increase anticipation of the election results in an exciting and engaging way for students.

In addition, the campaign will show individuals how to

vote and register. Voter registration will take place in the Arts Tunnel from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2, and How to Vote 101 will occur Oct. 13 to Oct. 16 in the Arts Tunnel as well.

In terms of long-term political engagement, USSU vice-president academic affairs Gabe Senecal suggests that not only will this participation extend to the upcoming federal election, but the momentum will carry over into the provincial and municipal elections taking place next year.

“The efforts of these committees and the general atmosphere on campus shaped by these committees really feeds into the future election cycles and brings a lot of benefit for the next elections coming up,” Senecal said.

For additional information regarding the polling, registration and voting processes, the USSU will be consistently

updating their Facebook page as well as posting the #USaskVotes events taking place.

The VoteNote app for smartphones is also a useful tool for locating the nearest polling stations, providing information on candidates’ platforms and making sure individuals are registered and eligible to vote. These online measures aim to make voting convenient and accessible to university students.

The campaign is not only a great way to become involved and informed, but it is also an important reminder for students to use their voices within a democratic system.

“Inevitably, your generation is going to take over the reigns,” York said. “Students have a duty [and] obligation.

This is a set of civil political rights that they have and they need to actively use them in order for them to be meaningful.”

U of S to host veterinary variety show, Vetavision GWEN ROY On Oct. 2-3, students of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan will host the now bi-annual Vetavision, which includes a number of special activities and events that allow for a peek into the college and the life of veterinarians.

The WCVM will be opening its doors to the public for this event and all are welcome to attend. There will be many live animals pres-

Jeremy Britz / Graphics Editor

ent including chicks, sheep and rescue animals, among others, and U of S students and the general public alike will have the opportunity for hands-on contact with some of the animals.

Kayla Bilsborrow, copresident of Vetavision and fourth-year veterinary medicine student, was one of the organizers of this year's event and is eager to see it come to fruition.

“I just enjoy the opportunity to promote what I’m passionate about to the general public,” Bilsborrow said.

The event will run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday, with the highest density of demos taking place on Saturday in an effort to accommodate U of S students' schedules.

Students from different departments walk through the WCVM every day and, according to Bilsborrow, this is a perfect opportunity for them to see what is behind all of the doors that say "Do

Not Enter" within the college.

A schedule of events is also available online and includes demos such as sheep shearing, RCMP police dogs and medical imaging. Admission to Vetavision for students with valid student ID is $8 at the door and other admission costs are available on their webpage.

Bilsborrow notes that the best place for visitors to start is through the main entry to the event, which is located at the top of the ramp into the building from Campus Drive.

“There’s a one-way track we have created for people, just to make it easy to make sure they are not missing any exhibits and making their way around the building as easy as possible,” Bilsborrow said.

Vetavision is designed to be an all-ages event and Bilsborrow insists there is something for everyone.

“We are targeting every

age group, we have things for children, we have things for students [and] we have things for adults who just want to learn more.”

The professor lectures are one portion of the program that Bilsborrow is particularly excited to attend.

“There are some really great topics this year. We have chosen some really amazing charismatic presenters as well, so not only is the material amazing, but the quality of lecture will be amazing,” Bilsborrow said.

Bruce Wobeser, WCVM assistant professor and pathologist, is a Vetavision veteran, having volunteered at two past events as a student.

Wobeser will be returning to the event this year to speak about what veterinarians see when things go wrong with animals.

"What are the different changes that happen when things go wrong? I’m going to show pictures of all sorts of things, all sorts of

animals. Nothing too gross.

Things that I think people will find interesting and worth talking about,” Wobeser said.

Wobeser insists that veterinary medicine and Vetavision include several points of interest for everybody.

“There’s bits and pieces on everything; it goes from the little kid type stuff like holding cute animals and stuff like that. But then there are other booths that talk about toxicology, environmental science, the human animal bond and all sorts of things.”

Moreover, this year will be the first time that the U of S open house will be collaborating with Vetavision, and Bilsborrow encourages everyone to check out the event, reminding readers this only happens once every two years.

“Unless you hate animals, this event is going to appeal to you,” Bilsborrow said.

“It’s going to be a very entertaining event.”

Medical student recognized with national award EMILY KLATT Staff Writer

Scott Adams, a medical student at the University of Saskatchewan, has received an award from the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame recognizing his outstanding achievements in research, innovation and leadership, both within and outside the College of Medicine.

Established in 1994 and located in London, Ont., the CMHF is a national charitable organization that recognizes and celebrates what they deem “Canadian heroes,” whose work has advanced health and inspired careers in health science.

Each year, the CMHF rewards one student at each of Canada’s 17 medical schools that exhibits the qualities embodied by CMHF laureates.

“Criteria for the award are academic excellence, superior interpersonal and communication skills, demonstrated leadership and demonstrated interest in advancing knowledge,” Adams said. “I was honoured these qualities were recognized with an award

from such an esteemed organization.”

Originally from Saskatoon, Adams completed two years of undergraduate study at the U of S before being accepted into the College of Medicine, where he is currently in his third year.

In his four years at the university, he has already made an impact upon the academic community. Adams served as the chair for the 2014 Health Innovation and Public Policy Conference and as a judge for Sanofi Biogenius Canada, a national competition which encourages high school students to create innovations within the field of biotechnology.

Adams is also the co-founder and former editor-in-chief of the U of S Undergraduate Research Journal, the first of its kind at the university. He has received numerous other awards in addition to the one from the CMHF. Although not yet a doctor, Adams already knows what he wants to achieve with his career.

“Through a career in medicine, I will hopefully have an impact on one of our greatest priorities: our health. We are continually making advancements in improving health

outcomes, and it is exciting to be a part of the development and integration of medical advancements to improve health and healthcare in Canada,” Adams said.

In order to reach his goals, Adams also acknowledges that certain personal qualities are necessary. He hopes to embody these traits as he moves forward with his career.

“Physicians must be committed to excellence in all aspects of their work; patients are counting on us to provide the very best care possible. To achieve this, a broad and deep knowledge base, compassion and empathy, and commitment to placing patients’ interests above our own are essential,” Adams said.

For Adams, leadership within the medical community is a natural extension of his dedication to community service.

He serves as board chair of the Saskatoon Regional Science Fair and is a member of the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce Health Opportunities Committee.

“Regardless of our discipline or stage of career, we each have a role in making our communities stronger. I see so many students working within the university com-

munity and wider community and their actions are truly beneficial,” Adams said.

Even in the wake of his success, Adams has not forgotten what has brought him this far in his medical career: hard work and dedication.

“There is no substitute for academic excellence — it is the essential foundation on which our careers are built.”

His time at the U of S has, and continues to be, a central pillar of academic life for Adams. He recognizes the significant influence that an out-

standing university can have upon its students.

“I’m privileged to have been a part of university committees which have given me greater understanding of the U of S and the College of Medicine, and I believe in the enormous potential of our university to have significant impact in Saskatchewan and around the globe,” he said.

“I am honoured to be a part of the U of S community and know that it will be a central institution throughout my life.”

Women’s soccer sweeps at home

WOMEN’S SOCCER: HUSKIES 1, COUGARS 0 The Huskies dominated from the opening whistle right until the very end as they blanked the Mount Royal University Cougars 1–0.

With the Huskies controlling possession for almost the entire first half, the Cougars couldn’t manage a scoring chance, let alone a shot on target.

Although they were in command of the match, it appeared the Huskies would take a 0–0 tie into the half, before Rita Fetch was taken down in the

box. Kelly Cerkwoniak stepped up and buried it to give the green and white a one-goal cushion.

With the intensity picking up in the second half, the Huskies kept their foot on the gas pedal but couldn’t muster up an insurance goal. Their solid defensive play held up until the end of the match, as the Cougars failed to record a shot on target. Kyleigh Vause got the win in net as well as the clean sheet.

HUSKIES 2, GRIFFINS 0 In a rematch of last year’s Canada West quarter-final, it was once again the Huskies coming out victorious with a 2–0 win over the MacEwan University Griffins.

A strong first half put the Huskies in control of the match, as they outshot the Griffins 8–2 in the first 45 minutes of action. Defender Carmen Gorlick opened the scoring off of Erica Hindmarsh’s corner kick, as she outjumped a pair of defenders to head the ball past the Griffin keeper. She near-

ly added another before the halftime break but her shot hit the crossbar and deflected out of play.

Hindmarsh recorded her second assist of the game, as this time Erica Parenteau was on the receiving end as she headed another Huskie goal past Emily Burns. Despite being down 2–0, MacEwan made a late push to get a goal back, but once again, Vause picked up a clean sheet. The win improved the Dogs’ record to 5–1, while MacEwan dropped to 2–3–1.

the Huskies in the match.

Michael added his second goal of the weekend in the 60th minute to give the Dogs a two goal advantage, which would seemingly be a surefire win on most days. Unfortunately not this af-

ternoon, as the Wesmen put two past Buckley in the final 15 minutes — including the equalizer in the 90th minute — to stun the green and white and escape with the draw.

FOOTBALL: HUSKIES 45, THUNDERBIRDS 29 A red-hot start allowed the Huskies to pick up their second win in as many weeks, this time a 45–29 dismantling of the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds.

Following a pair of good offensive drives, linebacker Justin Filteau recorded a pick-six to put the Dogs up 21–0 late in the first quarter. The sixth ranked T-Birds didn’t even know what hit them, and they already trailed by three touchdowns. A second touchdown — this one courtesy of Jarvis James — gave the Huskies a 28–5 lead.

Although in the third quarter UBC cut the deficit to 35–29, that was as

close as they got, as the Huskies defence slammed the door shut the rest of the way. Filteau led the way with 13.5 tackles, a forced fumble and the previously mentioned interception returned for a touchdown. Donovan Dale tallied his conference-leading fifth sack of the season.

Drew Burko had another stellar game and appears to be finding his groove, as he finished 16–21 for 324 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Tyler Chow sat out the game with the flu, but Jarvis James filled in nicely with 26 carries for 155 yards, as well as two scores.

Kayle Neis Striker Leesa Eggum (#16) lets a shot go against Mount Royal. The Huskies played well and won 1–0.

MEN’S SOCCER: HUSKIES 4, WESMEN 1 The Huskies came out flying to open the game, scoring in the first minute to put them en route to a dominating 4–1 win over the University of Winnipeg Wesmen.

Marcello Gonzales buried his second of the season in the first minute to get the ball rolling for the Dogs. It didn’t take long for them to get back on the board, as in the 21st minute Tyler Redl buried one past the Wesmen keeper. Seconds later, Gonzales potted his second of the game and the

Dogs were in complete control.

In the 27th minute, rookie Avery Michael got in on the scoring party, as Mitchell Bauche picked up his second assist of the match on the goal. Michael’s tally gave the Huskies a massive 4–0 lead at the half. Saskatchewan slowed down in the second half, as Winnipeg took control of the play and fired seven shots at Huskies keeper Greg Buckley. He stopped all but one and the Dogs came away victorious.

HUSKIES 2, WESMEN 2 After one of their best outings of the year, the Huskies let one slip away from them on Sept. 27, as they weren’t able to complete the weekend sweep of the Wesmen, drawing to a 2–2 tie. october 1, 2015

Jumping out to an early lead, Redl scored in the first minute for the Huskies and it was looking like it was going to be another blowout. However, the Wesmen actually outplayed the

NFL picks week 4: Can anyone stop the Packers?

TYLER WAGNER

LAST WEEK: OVERALL:

TYLER: 13-3 TYLER: 31-17

AUSTIN: 13-3 AUSTIN: 30-18

Baltimore Ravens (0-3) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) Pittsburgh suffered a huge loss in week three with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger going down with an MCL sprain in the win over the Rams. This will cause the Steelers to rely heavily on their star running back Le’Veon Bell in week four against division rival Baltimore. The Ravens started 0–3 for the first time in franchise history and will be looking to break their slump against Michael Vick and the Steelers.

Tyler: Pittsburgh Austin: Baltimore Philadelphia Eagles (1-2) vs. Washington Redskins (1-2) Philadelphia finally broke their losing streak, even without the services of running back DeMarco Murray. It appeared the Eagles offence was finding a rhythm, but will be put to the test against a tough Redskins defence. Washington is trying anything to find a capable running back, as both Alfred Morris and Matt Jones struggled in week three.

Philadelphia’s defence has been a bright spot for them and they may just steal this one.

Tyler: Philadelphia Austin: Washington Houston Texans (1-2) vs. Atlanta Falcons (3-0) The Atlanta offence has been scorching hot to start this season, firing on all cylinders.

Julio Jones is the league’s leading receiver and is on pace for a record year, after missing the majority of last season with injury. Houston has a frightening front seven and may be able to stop the surprisingly tough rushing attack the Falcons have brought to the table, but expect Matt Ryan and Julio Jones to do a number on the Texans secondary.

Tyler: Atlanta Austin: Houston New York Giants (1-2) vs. Buffalo Bills (2-1) This is going to be a tough day for the New York offence. Even with Odell Beckham Jr. playing as well as he has been, this Buffalo defence has shown no signs of slowing down this year and already has two players with two interceptions. Buffalo’s offence has been heating up with the strong play of quarterback Tyrod Taylor and the dangerous running game of Lesean McCoy. Buffalo should make their home crowd happy and take down New York with ease this week.

Tyler: Buffalo Austin: Buffalo Oakland Raiders (2-1) vs. Chicago Bears (0-3) The young Oakland offence has been turning heads in the first three weeks of the season. They have put up very impressive numbers thanks to the play of rookie receiver Amari Cooper and running back Latavius Murray. Quarterback Derek Carr will look to continue his impressive play this season against a terrible Bears secondary. Chicago’s defence has been getting mauled in the first three weeks and without Jay Cutler at quarterback, they have little to no hope in taking down this hot Raiders team.

Tyler: Oakland Austin: Oakland Carolina Panthers (3-0) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-2) Quarterback Cam Newton has been sensational, leading the Panthers to a surprising 3–0 start out of the gate as they draw a divisional matchup this week with the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay will look for more consistency on both sides of the ball, but rookie quarterback Jameis Winston will have his hands full with the physical Panthers defence.

Tyler: Carolina Austin: Carolina Cleveland Browns (1-2) vs. San Diego Chargers (1-2) With a quarterback controversy brewing in Cleveland, this is San Diego’s game to lose. The Chargers haven’t been able to stop the run this season, but luckily for them the Browns don’t have a real threat in the backfield. Philip Rivers should be able to pick apart the Browns defence, just as Derek Carr did last week.

Kansas City Chiefs (1-2) vs. Cincinnati Bengals (3-0) Andy Dalton and the Bengals seem to be playing with a chip on their shoulder after four consecutive first round playoff exits, and want to prove to the fans that they are once again contenders in the AFC North. Kansas City’s defence will not be easy to beat, with Justin Houston getting after the quarterback the way he always does. If the Chiefs can find a way to get the wheels rolling against this tough Bengals defence, this should be a tight game.

Tyler: Cincinnati Austin: Cincinnati Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2) vs. Indianapolis Colts (1-2) While the Colts had a late rally to pick up their first win of the year, the Jaguars were throttled by the Patriots in week three. With a young team that’s getting better every week, Jaguar fans will have to be patient. On the other side, Andrew Luck finally looked like himself in the second half of last week’s game and will look to exploit the Jacksonville defence.

Tyler: Indianapolis Austin: Indianapolis New York Jets (2-1) vs. Miami Dolphins (1-2) Miami is going to have a tough time against this stellar Jets defence in week four. Miami has relied on Ryan Tannehill and the passing attack to start this season, and it is not an easy task to pass against New York’s two star cornerbacks, Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie.

This should be a low scoring event and I would take the Jets defence to win them this game.

Tyler: New York Jets Austin: New York Jets Minnesota Vikings (2-1) vs. Denver Broncos (3-0) Peyton Manning answered the critics with another good performance, as he has led the Broncos to a 3–0 start to the year. On the other sideline, Adrian Peterson finally looked like his former self, with 126 yards rushing and two touchdowns. He will be in for a much tougher task against the Broncos stingy defence. Manning and the Broncos will have to stay twodimensional against the Vikings, whose secondary has been very good the past two weeks.

Tyler: Denver Austin: Minnesota St. Louis Rams (1-2) vs. Arizona Cardinals (3-0) Here might be the biggest mismatch of the week, as the Rams arguably have the worst offence in the league and the Cardinals defence is red-hot. After a week one victory over the Seahawks, the Rams have gone ice cold — scoring just 16 points in the last two games — and it doesn’t get any easier in week four. With Carson Palmer under centre and Larry Fitzgerald playing like it’s 2009, the Cardinals are legitimate threats in the NFC. Tyler: Arizona Austin: Arizona Green Bay Packers (3-0) vs. San Francisco 49ers (1-2) Aaron Rodgers proved once again in week three why he is the MVP of the league, throwing five touchdowns and zero interceptions on Monday Night Football. Rodgers has made it look easy against some of the supposed “best” defences in the league. The 49ers could be in for a long afternoon as their defence has let them down out of the gates. Colin Kaepernick will look to rebound after a horrid week, but it won’t come easy.

Tyler: Green Bay Austin: Green Bay Dallas Cowboys (2-1) vs. New Orleans Saints (0-3) New Orleans has to be disappointed with their flat start, and with a banged up Cowboys team coming into town, this is their chance to get into the win column. Dallas started off well last week, but faded down the stretch as the losses on both sides of the ball have become evidently crucial. At home, the Saints are tough to beat, but they may be without the services of quarterback Drew Brees and it just might be a battle of the back-ups in prime time.

Tyler: Dallas Austin: New Orleans Detroit Lions (0-3) vs. Seattle Seahawks (1-2) Searching for their first win of the season, the subpar Lions offence will have their hands full, coming to Seattle and having to take on the “Legion of Boom.” Throw into the mix that Jimmy Graham might be slowly finding his way into the Seahawks offence, and this could be a nightmare matchup for the Lions.

“This is my sixth year on the team, most people don’t know that you can play six years but because I red-shirted, I’m now in my sixth year,” Buchanan said.

Buchanan first suited up for the Huskies in the 2011–12 season, playing in two games as a special teamer and earning a single tackle. Buchanan has known that he wanted to be a Huskie since he attended St. Joseph High School in Saskatoon.

“I’m a local guy, from Saskatoon so the decision was easy. If you’re from Saskatoon, there’s nowhere you’d rather play than the U of S,” Buchanan said.

This season is Buchanan’s fourth year playing running back with the Huskies, and he came into it off of a big season last year, where he averaged 67 all-purpose yards a game.

He has made the most of his playing time this year too, averaging 5.6 yards per carry while adding a touchdown and 50 yards receiving out of the backfield.

Although this season Buchanan lost his starting role in the offence to second year back Tyler Chow, he has adjusted to his new role well.

“It’s a difficult adjustment not knowing exactly how much you’ll play on offence or when I will, but I’ve been really focused on doing well on special teams,” Buchanan said. “I’m getting a lot of action on special teams, so it keeps me warm and ready when I need to come in at running back. Mentally, you just need to prepare like you october 1, 2015

are going to play and assume that you will play and make sure you’re ready when you do get called.”

The Huskies are at a crossroads in their season, sitting with a 2–2 record and in a four-way tie for second in the Canada West, but Buchanan and the Huskies are trending upwards, having won their last two games and seeming to be as focused as ever.

“Right now, we’re just taking it one game at a time.

Of course we always plan to make playoffs and we just need to work on getting a win each week so that we can get into the playoffs and hopefully host a home playoff game,” Buchanan said.

Over the years, Buchanan has amassed many great football memories but his favourite memories are of the annual Support Our Troops game.

“I don’t know if it’s one specific memory, but I guess the thing I enjoy most about playing here is getting to honor our troops in a game every year in our annual Support the Troops game,” Buchanan said.

Buchanan is a big fan of electronic and house music, and he stays very busy with football and working on his second degree, but still enjoys making the most of his free time.

“While football and school do take up most of my time, when I do have free time I like to play rec sports. Last summer, I played slo-pitch and second term this year, I look forward to playing basketball,” said Buchanan.

Buchanan has already gained a degree in commerce in April 2015. He is now into his first year in the College of Law and has begun studying to become a lawyer.

“I’d like to become a lawyer and work at a firm in Saskatchewan. Ideally, I’d like to stay in the city of Saskatoon,” said Buchanan.

SPORTS

Active date ideas for the adventurous couple NAOMI ZUREVINSKI

Editor-in-Chief While movie nights and making dinner are definitely enjoyable, there are many activities that Saskatoon and the surrounding area has to offer that make great dates.

Whether it’s getting sweaty together or using teamwork to accomplish a task, these activities will allow you to have a little fun before all of your dates become homework ones.

Here’s a list of some active dates that you and your partner can try. Whether you’re a sporty couple or not, it’s always fun to try something new together or to enjoy the weather while it lasts.

1. Beaver Creek: this is a little oasis located just 13 kilometres south of Saskatoon. Beaver Creek has four hiking trails, all varying in time length from 20 minutes to an hour. The scenery is beautiful and nature is all around you; it’s a great way to escape the city, even just for an afternoon. Pack a backpack filled with yummy snacks, lots of water and a picnic blanket so that you can enjoy a full day there, soaking in the gorgeous

sights of fall.

2. Trying out a hot yoga class together can be a lot of fun and very challenging! If both of you are new to yoga, catch a beginner’s class at a studio in the city. Many studios will offer discounts for newcomers and/or students.

This can be what you make of it; either it becomes a hilarious experience to laugh about as you both struggle through balance poses or it’s a great way to take a study break together and clear your mind.

3. Tennis! This is a great sport to try leisurely or to engage in as some friendly competition. Grab another couple for a double date and try your hand at teamwork, or face your partner in a singles match. All students have access to the tennis courts on campus, which are near the Education Building, with their student card.

4. For something really different, the Apex Trampoline Park in Saskatoon is a great option. Jump it out and maybe even show off a flip or two; this is sure

to have you two smiling and laughing. It’s great for group dates also, as there’s open jump times and private booking available.

5. A classic but nonetheless enjoyable date is going for a stroll or a bike ride along the South Saskatchewan River. There are many trails with benches to stop at along the way, so you two can sit down and soak in the view together. For a throwback twist, grab a couple old pairs of rollerblades and roll your way along the river.

6. If you’re up for a date that takes you off the ground, rock climbing is a good option. Of course, there’s the rock wall at the Physical Activity Complex on campus, but other locations in Saskatoon like Grip It Indoor Rock Climbing have lots of rock walls and options for new and advanced climbers.

7. If you don’t like dates that require workout clothes, try getting dressed up and going dancing — and no, I’m not talking about the Hudson’s dance floor. The

University of Saskatchewan Ballroom Dancing Club hosts both formal and informal dances, which you can attend with a club member for $10. If you don’t know any club members, you and your partner can consider becoming members! This is a fun way to test out your dancing skills or to even learn something new.

8. Although a little more on the leisurely side, the Strawberry Ranch just outside of Saskatoon has its annual fall corn maze, which is a fun and festive activity.

You can work together to find your way through the maze or maybe just get lost for awhile and enjoy each other’s company.

If all else fails and you don’t feel like leaving your house as the weather turns colder, I’ve heard that a roll in the hay burns a surprising amount of calories. Either way, use these suggestions to spice up your relationship, get in some physical activity and maybe even enjoy the outdoors while you’re at it.

CULTURE

U of S students help light the night at Nuit Blanche KEZIA FOURIE When night began to fall in Saskatoon on Sept. 26, 20th Street was just getting ready to light it right back up. The second annual Nuit Blanche festival brought colourful lights and creative art to a quiet Saturday night.

From Idylwyld Drive to Avenue F, 20th Street West was closed to cars because of a variety of art installations placed along the sides of the street. Optical illusions, flashy lights, creative dancing — Nuit

Blanche had it all. In the centre of the road, people doodled and wrote in chalk while children fascinated themselves with the many big balloons secured nearby.

According to their website, Nuit Blanche is a free nighttime arts festival that showcases and celebrates arts and culture. For one night only, the public gets a glimpse into the lives of the featured artists.

The theme of this year’s festival was “Interstitial Spaces,” which can be described as the blurring of lines between defined roles or concepts, accord-

ing to their website. This was evident in the layout of the festival, which brought the viewers and artists closer together by mixing their art in with publicly accessible space.

Among the artists was one of the University of Saskatchewan's very own, William Lee, a third-year fine arts student who created the piece “Electric Honeycomb.” Six large, white, wooden hexagons lay stacked on the ground, in such a way that they resembled a honeycomb. The edges were lined with aluminum and a light inside brightly light up each hexagon. The honeycomb, with its visible wiring, is reminiscent of the minimalist artwork movement that began in the 1960s. Clean and light, this piece creates a sleek environment for the viewer that is open and aesthetically pleasing.

A popular interactive display was from OPEN, a design collaborative with an on-going relationship with the U of S School of Architecture Initiative. Made out of orange pool noodles, “Orange Crush” was a creatively shaped tunnel that viewers could walk through and

take one-of-a-kind selfies.

Another art installation was “12 Hours of Night,” a series of photographs of people from dusk until dawn in various locations in and around Saskatoon.

Each photograph was distinct from the other, with the artists present in them. What made this piece unique was the obscuring of the faces of the artists with various objects, from paper bags and bubble wrap to a blinding sunrise.

The result was an eyecatching assembly, projected on a large screen which made the project more personal to viewer.

This project, organized in part

by U of S professor Jennifer Crane from the department of art and art history, was a joint collaboration by third-year interactive systems design student Kyle Zurevinski and fourth-year studio arts students Emily M. Koehlert, Michelle Gagne and Samra K. Sheikh.

This installation was a tribute to a 2014 video performance done by Canadian artist Lisa Birke titled “Calendar Girls.”

One of the larger attractions that really lit up Nuit Blanche was an artistic rep-

resentation of the Canadian Light Source's synchrotron by a group of artists. Shining, fast paced, multi-coloured lights shot around the top of the artwork, drawing in crowds of people — especially small, very excited children. A table nearby provided diffraction glasses that, when you put them on, provided a crazy, colourful experience. Diffraction glasses are lenses that spread light out through passing it through apertures — holes through which light can travel — to split the beams, producing bursts of colour. Glowing, colourful yo-yos were also given out and were popular entertainment for many people.

Like a picture from a hipster’s blog, you could see people riding bikes decorated in neon light, friends laughing together as they ate, coffee shops with line-ups and people from different backgrounds and cultures all joined together for a night of entertainment and discovery. Under the light of a large, bright moon, Nuit Blanche was the place to be for a beautiful night out with friends and family.

Come one, come all to the USSU Pride Centre!

EMILY MIGCHELS The University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union Pride Centre is on campus to celebrate diversity through fun events and outreach all year long. First up, the annual Queerapalooza is back and better than ever.

Since opening its doors in 1997, the Pride Centre has been a safe and positive space where students can find support and community, offering information and always a listening ear.

Volunteers are trained to offer informed and confidential support. The Pride Centre is a place where everyone is seen and recognized.

Queerapalooza is the U of S' version of Pride Week, happenning from Sept. 28 to Oct. 2, which celebrates people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Its events are remarkably diverse, from “Gaymes Night” to a talk on Two Spirit identities to “It’s Queerly Poetry.” It’s not hard to understand the popular appeal.

On Oct. 1, in collaboration with the University Archives and Special Collections, the Pride Centre is offering two tours of the archives, which hold october 1, 2015

one of Canada’s largest collections of queer literature. It’s a great chance to get educated and discover more about queer literature.

This tour features a behindthe-scenes look at the “Year of Queer 2” display at the Murray Library, which features examples of queer representation in media. If you miss out on the tour, though, don't fear — “Year of Queer 2” is available for viewing year round and new pieces are added to the exhibit all the time.

Queerapalooza’s grand finale is the Fantastical Fairytale Phenomena drag show. A dedicated crew of Pride Centre volunteers have been hard at work transforming Louis’ Pub into a real-life wonderland. This is sure to be a magical evening, as attendees are encouraged to don their best fairy tale fashions.

While this is an event limited to those 19 and older, don’t be too disappointed if you are underage — the Pride Centre hosts a drag show every semester, so there is always something to look forward to once you’re of legal drinking age.

Most of this year's Queerapalooza events are all-ages, however, allowing for maxi-

mum accessibility for interested students. This was a deliberate planning choice.

“It was very important for me to find events that involve the queer community that didn’t involve alcohol necessarily and that were open to queer youth,” Pride Centre co-ordinator Craig Friesen said. He is looking forward to the Pride Centre’s future generations and acknowledged that there is much to be learned from the younger population.

The Pride Centre runs on the hard work of volunteers both from the LGBTQ community on campus and from friends of diversity and equality. If that sounds like you, it's easy to get involved. Friesen is friendly and enthusiastic as well as grateful for volunteer support.

“Volunteers keep the doors open,” Friesen said.

Current opportunities include aiding in the set-up or take down of the drag show and according to Friesen, helpers will receive free entry. If you miss that, though, it’s never too late to become a part of the positivity at the Pride Centre. Having volunteers at the Pride Centre is essential to its success, and Friesen believes that positive spaces are created through peo-

ple. Volunteers are asked to fill out an application and drop in for a casual conversation.

The celebration doesn’t stop with Queerapalooza either. Stay tuned for Ally Week, beginning Oct. 19. This event will provide a platform to discuss queer issues and promote social justice. The Pride Centre also hosts queer men’s and women’s groups on Tuesday nights, both a great chance to get out and make new friends. According to Friesen, the queer men’s and women’s groups have seen an excellent

turn out over the past year, proving that there is certainly a vibrant queer community on campus.

Whether you're looking for unique, fun events or a group of supportive new friends, the Pride Centre is a great place to start.

For more information on Queerapalooza and future events, contact Craig Friesen through the Pride Centre’s Facebook page, email or drop by in person at room 104 in the Memorial Union Building.

FEATURE It is not that simple, however, as the policy includes six more lines under that term alone, surrounded by definitions differentiating between sexual abuse, sexual harassment and sexual misconduct, among others.

For Lambi-Raine, sexual assault is quite a broad term but she argues that this is important in recognizing just how many actions and behaviours can fall under this definition.

“Many people might think that it is only rape; some people don’t know groping is sexual assault when it definitely is. The definition varies depending on who you are speaking with, but I think the definition provided in the policy is quite inclusive,” Lambi-Raine said.

Furthermore, Lambi-Raine recognizes the confusion and fear that often accompanies an incident of sexual assault and how overwhelming it can be trying to navigate these uncomfortable situations.

She reinforces the need for an absolutely enthusiastic affirmative at all points of a potential sexual experience and reveals the terrifying reality of what sexual assault often entails.

“Silence is not yes. Sleeping is not yes. We have found of all the disclosed stories about sexual assault, many were assaulted while they were sleeping, many didn’t feel safe saying no,” Lambi-Raine said. “The idea of ‘no means no’ really puts the onus on the possible target or survivor, where ‘yes means yes’ really returns the responsibility to all parties involved in any situation to all be affirmative or not, but you need to have that yes at all times.”

U of S students are able to further exercise their support of consent culture by contributing their voices to the sexual assault prevention policy. Saddleback encourages the student body to read over the draft document and submit any amendments before the Oct. 5 deadline.

“Whether or not you are a target or you have had other people disclose to you, these are policies that are important for everyone to be aware of,” Saddleback said. “There are a number of different ways that you as an individual can respond to sexual assault, so

october 1, 2015

get involved and get your voices out there.”

U of S services and support systems are not exclusive to women either. Men are always welcome at the Women’s Centre and also share a significant role in the sexual assault awareness movement, both as victims and allies.

“Women are targets and survivors more often than men, but within a patriarchal society, masculinity is defined as being strong and being able to protect yourself and your loved ones and being a tough guy,” LambiRaine said.

She argues, however, that there are three main ways to be an ally in the fight against sexual assault, which include educating yourself, getting involved in sexual assault awareness and prevention activities and interrupting oppressive dynamics.

“A lot of these dynamics come down to people treating women’s bodies as if they’re entitled to them: you’re entitled to make comments about a woman’s body; you’re entitled to touch a woman’s body without her consent; you’re entitled to doing everything you can to try and get inside of that woman. I think a lot of these are really terrible control tactics that keep women’s bodies seen and treated as objects within larger society,” Lambi-Raine said.

Interrupting these dynamics, then, is key for Lambi-Raine and can range from intercepting with something as simple as a high-five to physically situating yourself between the potential offender and the target, as long as it is safe enough to do so.

“For example, when you hear a rape joke or when someone says, ‘Man, I raped that test,’ those are not funny. They are trivializing and downplaying the horrific nature of rape,” Lambi-Raine said, adding that literally interrupting someone and making them aware that this is inappropriate speech can help to break down those dynamics.

Although disrupting these types of behaviours can be intimidating, there is bystander intervention training provided by Peer Health Mentors on campus, which teaches students how to intercept a potentially dangerous situation in a safe manner.

“Bystander intervention really teaches people that we are all accountable. Of course we can’t control what other people do, but if you see something that is problematic, if someone’s life is in danger, or if someone is in a vulnerable situation and you can safely intervene, you could potentially save a life or save somebody from serious harm,” Lambi-Raine said.

For McDougall, the U of S has come a long way over the last four years and although she was not a part of the university at the time of the assault at McEown Park residences, she has been no less involved in helping the university respond appropriately to any and all future cases.

“In January of 2012, we gave out incorrect information to that family and it is my position that in doing so, we made it worse for that person. It turned out that there were many systems along the way that made it worse for that person, but we were a part of that,” McDougall said.

“We need to recognize that sexual assault and sexual misconduct is unlike any of the other violent or nonviolent behaviors that would breach our standard of conduct.

”

— Patti McDougall, vice-provost teaching and learning

She insists that she has the utmost confidence in the university and its current support services surrounding sexual assault, including, not least of all, the finalization of the new policy.

“This is us communicating to those who come onto our campus that we are just not going to tolerate these behaviours, and we will act both on the prevention side and the intervention side as is necessary to create a safer learning, living and working environment for people,” McDougall said.

Lambi-Raine echoes McDougall’s vigour but reminds students that there is no shame in consensual sexual experiences, and that each person must trust and listen to their bodies and that people always have a choice.

“The fact that I get to have a choice is awesome, but it is also necessary — consent can be sexy, but it is always necessary. We need to fight for a world where all sex is consensual and fight for the right to have fulfilling sexual experiences.” *STATISTICS AS PER SEXASSAULT.CA.

Student Kitchen: Three easy recipes to spice up your diet MANGO GUACAMOLE This is one of my favorite recipes to make for potlucks and to serve to friends. It also works great as a snack or appetizer.

This does not keep well in the fridge however, as the avocado will turn brown very quickly. It’s best eaten directly after preparation. Serve with tortilla chips, pita bread or even on top of a taco salad. This recipe can serve 2-4 people, although I am also guilty of devouring the whole thing alone.

NAOMI ZUREVINSKI Editor-in-Chief

Photos by Naomi Zurevinski / Editor-in-Chief

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring or hard. The following are three of my easiest, go-to recipe creations for a quick meal or snack that include delicious flavours, lots of vegetables — score! — and they can all be prepared in 20 minutes or less.

Ingredients: 3 soft avocados 2 ripe mangoes, medium size Half a red onion 2 tomatoes, large 1 tsp garlic powder (add more to taste) 1 tsp chili powder (add more to taste) ½ tsp black pepper (add more to taste)

GREEK SALAD

Directions: 1. Peel the avocados and put them into a medium bowl. Take a fork and mash them up, leaving some chunks of the avocado if desired.

2. Peel the mangoes and chop finely. Stir into avocado mixture.

3. Chop both the tomato and onion finely and stir into the mixture.

4. Add the spices. Taste the guacamole and add more spice if necessary. Usually the amount listed above is good for me, but I don’t have a very high spice tolerance. Add more to give the guacamole more kick.

5. Serve immediately.

This is a variation on a classic recipe, with lots of chopped veggies and a delicious dressing. This recipe serves 3-4 people, so you can easily prepare it for a social gathering or cut the portions in half to make less. If you pour dressing over the whole salad, it will keep for up to one day in the fridge. To keep it fresh longer, leave some of the veggies and dressing separate and toss them together when you’re ready to eat it later. This salad is great with a glass of red wine or on a bed of greens.

PEANUT SAUCE This is a super easy sauce that takes almost no time to whip up and can be used in multiple ways. I often dress a salad with it, use it as a stir fry sauce, drizzle it over a bowl of rice or even dip some veggie sticks in it. It can keep in the fridge for up to two days, but be warned that it will thicken considerably the longer it sits in the fridge.

Salad: 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes ¾ of a whole cucumber, sliced into thick pieces ½ cup red onion, sliced into thick pieces (skip this if you’re not an onion fan) 1 red pepper, sliced into thick pieces 1 green pepper, sliced into thick pieces ½ cup feta, chopped into small pieces Options: add 1 cup cooked asparagus, cut into smaller pieces or add 1 cup sugar snap peas, chopped in half.

Ingredients: 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 clove garlic, pressed (or 1 tsp garlic powder) 1 tsp chili powder ½ tsp black pepper ¼ cup water ⅓ cup peanut butter, chunky or smooth

Dressing: 4 tbsp olive oil 2.5 tbsp red wine vinegar 2.5 tbsp lemon juice 2 cloves garlic, pressed (or 1 tsp garlic powder) Pepper, to taste 1 tbsp dill 1 tbsp oregano Directions: 1. Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl except for the feta.

2. Add the dressing and toss thoroughly. Put the feta on last, sprinkling it evenly overtop of the salad.

3. Serve immediately.

the sheaf publishing society

Directions: Combine all the ingredients into a NutriBullet or blender and blend. Add more peanut butter if it looks too runny, because the consistency will depend on the brand of peanut butter you use. I usually use a natural crunchy peanut butter, but other options will work. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit more water to get the desired consistency.

When feathers dance and birds sing: Discovering Aboriginal literature MICHELLE WHITSTONE Aboriginal fiction is rich and varied, and students at the University of Saskatchewan can take advantage of an extensive collection of work

by Canadian authors housed in the Education Library Aboriginal Education Collection. The following are works of poetry and fiction that will help you experience Aboriginal perspectives through beautiful stories and voices.

Two spirits dancing on the cover lead the reader on an autumn nature hike through the pages of Last Leaf First Snowflake to Fall, written and illustrated by award winning author Leo Yerxa. Born in 1947 on the Little Eagle Reserve in northern Ontario, Yerxa shares his stories of home, using grandiose language to depict the oneness he felt with nature while wandering the hunting forests with his father as a child.

Yerxa’s unique style can be experienced the second you open the book and begin the adventure.

“I touched that frost on the window with my nose / The frost melted away, form-

ing a tiny hole / I pressed my eye to the hole and looked to the sky / My eye walked in darkness, from star to star / The first light found its way through the forest / Through the frosted window and across my face / A new day began,” reads an excerpt from Yerxa’s prose-poem.

Another author that reflects on themes of childhood is David Bouchard. With the help of Allen Sapp of Red Pheasant First Nation and music from Northern Cree, a renowned drum group from Hobbema, Alta., Bouchard created Nokum is my teacher.

Questions from a young boy to his grandmother illustrate his struggle with adopting a foreign culture and mindset.

Bouchard wrote: “Answer this then please, Grandmother, / Why must I go to their school? / I am told to sit and listen, / I’m supposed to somehow care / About their towns and their big cities, / Their fast cars and pretty things. / If they ever stopped to ask me / I’d prefer to drum and sing.”

liness for home. Meshom — which means grandfather — gifts Wagner an unpainted plaster figurine as she readies to leave her home in Manitoba for a city on the West Coast with her mother.

Meshom tells her about “The Little Ones,” Ojibwa tricksters, who are always meddling and making mischief.

Meshom and Kokum — which means grandmother — play a quiet key role as the heart of the story and help their granddaughter accept her new home and her new surroundings. Wagner ties in the importance of her native language, which needs to be spoken if it’s to be saved.

The Gathering Tree by Larry Loyie of Slave Lake and Constance Brissenden portrays an 11 year-old boy and his younger sister who come to realize their favorite cousin is HIV positive. The book involves a gathering of their people at an old tree where important conversations take place and truth is laid bare. It is only then that healing truly begins. Their story ties in the traditions of tobacco and the tying of ribbons on a tree and encourages self-motivation and strength through the tradition of foot racing. The young boy becomes a man and realizes true strength comes from within.

Aboriginal teachings are captured between the pages of these gifted authors and they inspire enlightened realizations. These books are calling out to be shared by those who wish to bring important issues to light and gain a better sense of self.

Read an Aboriginal fiction book or share one with those you love and learn about their wonderful traditions of healing.

These works share in common the theme that Aboriginal people are attempting to overcome an adverse world and still question the transition process that could provide connections which can bridge cultures. Aboriginal fiction offers valuable, multi-faceted perspectives and a transferring of age-old wisdom for readers from all walks of life. There is much healing and understanding yet to happen and there are a wealth of realizations that can be shared through pages white and letters black.

A Sheaf guide to living in a van GRAEME MARK We all know school is expensive. In a quest to save money, I was lucky enough to meet an ingenious student who took to extreme measures and cut his cost of living in half. He moved into a van.

This may not be 100 per cent legal, so for anonymity let’s call him Bono.

Your first reaction might be “How can someone do this?”

To find out, I sat down with Bono to discuss the transition to van living and learn why it may even be superior.

He explained that his decision was partly financial but also a lifestyle choice — he wanted to help challenge social norms and break down stigmas. If it’s socially acceptable to sleep in your car when road-tripping or camping, why is it frowned upon to do so while you’re in school?

To chase this dream yourself, you’re going to need a van. Kijiji has some great deals on early 1990s vans that are ideal for inhabitation.

Minivans aren’t recommended because of their lack of headroom, but if you go too big it will cost a fortune to fill with gas.

Now you’re already better off than many of your classmates — you’re a property owner and vehicle owner. Rip the back seats out and throw in your mattress and you’re pretty much good to go.

Bono’s first priority when picking a parking spot is find-

ing a place where he won’t bother anyone. Second is finding a spot close to school where he won’t get a ticket.

He has a few favorite spots close to the University of Saskatchewan with 24–hour parking and, interestingly enough, in the morning he has noticed a few other people coming out of camper vans, leading him to suspect he isn’t the only one to have had this idea.

Bono has found that the U of S provides a perfect set-up for living out of your vehicle. It’s pretty much a full-services campground.

Amenities include gyms, pools, showers, cafeterias, Wi-Fi and numerous 24–hour computer lounges.

After a peaceful night’s sleep, he heads to the Physical Activity Complex for a shower where you always get a fresh towel. Bono recommends getting a locker so you can store your toiletries and a few clean changes of clothes.

Two of the downsides of van living are using the washroom at night — keep a bottle nearby for emergencies — and cooking, unless you’re willing to invest in some serious upgrades to your van.

To solve the cooking problem Bono has taken up the habit of intermittent fasting and only consuming one large meal a day for sustenance. To make this affordable, he suggests paying for a meal plan with the U of S and hitting up the lunch buffet at Marquis Culinary Centre. The lunch

buffet goes for five hours daily during the week, so you can easily get a few meals in while you sit down and do some homework.

After you’re done class for the day, hit up the library for all your studying needs and when you’re done, it’s just a short walk to your bed.

Bono has found living in his van has encouraged him to be more social. He spends less time watching TV and more time getting involved in extracurriculars and campus organizations, as he’s always on the lookout for some free pizza.

Parking outside friends’ homes has also done wonders for Bono’s social life. As winter comes, he’ll be relying on these friends a bit more and maybe crashing on their couches from time to time.

His nightlife hasn’t suffered either. Bono can park his van in the bar parking lot and then, once he’s done partying and ready for bed, he can just walk a few steps and call it a night. I wouldn’t recommend this, though. A quick Google search reveals that living in a van falls in a legal grey area, but sleeping drunk in your vehicle is a little more contested.

Bono is expecting to save $4,000 this year living in his van. If you’re also looking to save some money this year, moving into a van might just be your best bet. You could challenge social norms and even broaden a few horizons while you’re at it.

You can still be studious on psychedelics

Jeremy Britz / Graphics Editor Despite social stereotypes, students can still balance recreational drug use with academic success.

KAY-LYNNE COLLIER Many influential intellects experimented with psychedelics at one point or another in their lifetimes. As a student, these experiences can be far from being detrimental and even be life-altering and profound.

In the Walter Isaacson biography Steve Jobs, Jobs is quoted saying, “Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it.”

Given Jobs’ great success, it would seem unlikely that experimental drug use ever impeded upon his career. In fact, in other cases, psychedelics — drugs that have hallucinogenic effects — may have actually helped notable minds take their work to new levels.

Kary B. Mullis — who developed polymerase chain technology used to copy single strands of DNA, earning him the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Michael Smith — acknowledges that his experimentation with LSD in the 1960s and 1970s may have had a much bigger influence on his work than the classes he took in university.

In an interview for the British Broadcasting Corporation television program Horizon in 1997, Mullis even went as far as to postulate, "What if I had not taken LSD ever; would I have still invented PCR? I don’t know. I doubt it. I seriously doubt it.”

So far, I’ve only talked about very famous and influential people and their success with experimental drug use.

But what about a student, someone who is still in the process of developing professionally?

I can’t speak for other students, but I’ve had prior experience with psilocybin — magic — mushrooms, LSD, MDMA, DMT and of course, like many other university students, marijuana.

I can say that without a doubt that I have had many positive experiences on these drugs that did not impede my studies.

I take a psychedelic substance of some sort probably once every month, but it depends on the last experience I had with whatever I was taking. If the trip was bad, then I steer clear from

those types of drugs for a little while, just to reintegrate myself back into everyday life.

The reason why I space out my trips so much is because I like to allow time to reflect on the experience, and to allow the drug to leave my system so that the next time I take it, I won’t have built up a tolerance.

I balance school with taking these substances by making sure that when I do take a drug, whatever it may be, that I don’t have a lot going on at that particular time and that I don’t have to wake up early the next day for classes. I take this time because for me, taking these drugs is not simply because they’re “fun” or because I like to “get high.”

I use them in part to rekindle my spirituality, to gain new insight to the problems in my life and to channel my own creativity by expanding my mind and dissolving the boundaries of regular consciousness.

However, just because I have had success with psychedelic substances does not mean that I promote the use of these drugs for all students. Drugs affect everyone’s brain differently and what might work for one person may not work for another.

Despite my experimentation with illicit drugs, I am definitely not the typical image of a drug user that you may expect, based on the way that the media and other institutions portray people like me. I get good grades as a full time student, I work two jobs and I’m active in my community and at the University of Saskatchewan in a variety of different ways.

I’m still able to juggle all my commitments and to experiment with psychedelics without totally destroying my ability to function. In fact, I believe that taking these drugs has actually helped with my creativity as an artist and as a student, and helped me discover things about myself that I never knew before.

When it boils down to whether or not you can be a functional and successful student while experimenting with illicit drugs, the answer is yes, it is definitely possible. We owe a lot of our success as a society to psychedelics, from arts to science. So instead of demonizing our fellow psychonauts, let’s applaud them in their journey towards a better world. october 1, 2015

Smoking must be restricted on campus icy, many places on campus have already restricted smoking, so it might be harder to designate a smoking area that appeases all parties and fits within the current rules. A solution may then be to build our very own smoking lounge on campus.

A major issue which would be reduced by making a designated area for smoking on campus is secondhand smoke, which has been linked to lung cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumours, throat cancer, breast cancer and many other diseases. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 2,500,000 non-smokers have died from health problems caused by secondhand smoke since 1964.

Smoking and secondhand smoke alike can also affect your academic performance, causing hearing and vision loss and even doing damage to your brain, affecting how you perform in classes. I think I can vouch for everyone when I say we’ve all been caught inhaling someone

JAELYN VAN KESSEL Smoking is an unfortunate habit that not only harms one’s self but also those around us. I feel that it is necessary that we ban smoking from the University of Saskatchewan campus.

However, banning something altogether does not necessarily work all the time.

So if we can’t ban smoking altogether, we should reduce it to a certain area on campus.

The current university policy — which also applies to the use of all electronic smoking products — prohibits smoking in all university buildings, enclosed spaces, leased spaces, university owned or leased vehicles and outdoor seating areas that are part of restaurants or licensed facilities. More importantly, smoking is prohibited within a 10 meter perimeter of any university building and ventilation air intake or any other outdoor area where indicated.

Obviously, under this pol-

else’s smoke on campus and a separate smoking area would help curb this problem.

Vaping — smoking through an electronic cigarette — is considered by a lot of people to be less harmful. However, while vaping isn’t as harmful as actual smoking, it’s not necessarily 100 per cent safe either. Since nicotine is still a factor, vaping can affect blood pressure and heart rate just like regular cigarettes.

As such, vaping should also be restricted to a certain area on campus.

Smoking is undoubtedly habitual and in many cases it’s an addiction. Likewise, an outright ban on smoking on campus would be difficult to enforce and probably not very effective anyway, so restricting where people can and can’t smoke seems much easier.

Reducing smoking to a certain area is also a better option since it accommodates non-smokers as well as smokers. While there will still be smokers who refuse to walk all the way to a designated spot to smoke, this

would still be an easier policy to enforce when compared to an all-encompassing ban.

A designated smoking location might cause some inconvenience for nonsmokers who like to hang out in that particular area, but this seems to be a fair price to pay for their own health.

When it comes to ensuring the health and safety of ev-

eryone on campus, our best option is to reduce smoking by restricting it to a certain area. It benefits everyone — from those who want or need to smoke, to those who simply can’t be near it. Giving a certain amount of leeway to people who do smoke is important, but when it comes to our well-being, further limits are needed.

Caitlin Taylor / Photo Editor Smoking on campus can be a nuisance to U of S students.

Best job ever.

DISTRACTIONS

e p C S i and

Q: I hate talking to people from high school that I don't like on the bus ride home. How can I avoid talking to them and avoid interacting? — Justine Sugar: You must have been so sweet during high school that old classmates still want to be your friend! You should be flattered that these old acquaintances want to keep up with your interesting life and want to keep in touch! If interacting on the bus is really putting you in a slump, put in your earphones and don’t make eye contact.

Spice: You’re the one who thought it was a good idea to go to a public high school. If you ask me, you dug this grave for yourself.

Q: I have a huge crush on my professor! What can I do? Should I make a move on him? — Madeline Sugar: Do you see potential in this relationship lasting outside of the classroom? Do you have other things in common besides the class subject you’re discussing? I would say to keep your relationship with your professor strictly professional but if you think it is meant to be, love has no bounds, nor any age.

Spice: Sounds like you need a little extra credit. Invite him over for a little one-on-one tutor session and ensure that you get the right kind of D this term.
