On March 24, a panel of local activists gathered at the University of Saskatchewan to speak about their different experiences with working towards change within the province.

However, having the Saskatchewan-based activists speak was not the original plan for the evening. The event, Solidarity in Resistance: The Personal Costs and Political Consequences of Organizing for a Better World, was held to support three social and environmental activists from the Dominican Republic that were denied visitor visas and subsequently entry into Canada.

All three of the delegates were members of La Federación de Campesinos Hacia el Progreso (The Federation of Farmers Towards Progress), which is a grassroots organization of small farmers in the region of Bonao, DR that aim to improve the quality of life of the farmers in the area and protect natural resources. Esteban Polanco is La Federación’s executive director, Cristina Cortorreal is the president and Rubén Darío García is a publicly engaged community organizer in the Dominican Republic.

The speaking tour was arranged in partnership with the University of Saskatchewan, Western University and the University of Toronto. Each university raised funds and provided letters of support for Polanco, Cortorreal and García, outlining their itineraries and reasons for travel.

Caitlin Ward, engaged learning co-ordinator at St. Thomas More College, said that the fact that the three activists who were denied their visas had been fighting Canadian mining companies should not be overlooked.

Ward is a member of the Friends of La Federación, a group of U of S students, staff and faculty involved in the cause and the organization of the speaking tour. Although their original plans fell through, the group would not settle for silence.

Irena Smith, another member of Friends of La Federación, provided opening remarks for the evening.

“Tonight is a night for us... to stand together and say ‘no’ to fear, say ‘no’ to silencing, say ‘no’ to a capitalist ideologue state and continue to work towards a country based on love, solidarity and respect for all living things.”

Smith also drew parallels between the struggles faced in the Dominican Republic and the struggles faced by farmers and indigenous leaders in Saskatchewan whose livelihoods are threatened by resource extraction.

“We shouldn’t have to fight the government that we have elected

Irena Smith spoke at the event Solidarity in Resistance: The Personal Costs and Political Consequences of Organizing for a Better World. to represent us. We shouldn’t have to fight them this hard to live well, but we do and that is why we wanted to come together tonight: to gather people’s strengths, to better understand what we are up against and to discuss how we can build solidarity in resistance,” Smith said.

Instead of the members of La Federación, a panel was put together with Saskatchewan activists who shared their experiences with overcoming resistance.

The panelists included Erica Lee, who is involved with Idle No More, a social and political movement headed by indigenous peoples aimed at putting a stop to the exploitation of culture and land in Canada. Lee discussed how indigenous people have not always lived with the borders that modern-day governments use. By subsequently restricting the mobility of indigenous people, she explained how the current use of borders is a violation of human rights.

With a long career of activism in Saskatchewan, Tracey Mitchell spoke of her personal journey, challenges and how activists can better support each other.

She described the toll that activism can take on one’s life and health, but also how fulfilling and rewarding it is to be a part of a social movement.

Justine Shenher talked about her work with Just Youth through Development and Peace, a Catholic international development

organization in Canada. Speaking from her experience with Just Youth, Shenher provided a description of what happens to activist organizations when their funding is cut or can only be used on predetermined programs.

Tying back into the Dominican Republic, Candyce Paul addressed some of the struggles faced by indigenous people in northern Saskatchewan which are similar to those faced in the Dominican Republic. Based off of her work to reduce nuclear waste in northern Saskatchewan with the Committee for Future Generations, Paul spoke about the struggle with pollution from the Canadian mining companies in Canada that is posing a massive health risk to those who live off of the land.

Mylan Tootoosis is a PhD student at the U of S in the department of native studies. Since he is continuing the work that his ancestors and leaders have done to build solidarity and create a better world, Tootoosis said that he does not consider himself an activist.

After the program, the panel addressed questions from the audience followed by the closing remarks and reception.

Though Polanco, Cortorreal and García were not able to enter the country themselves, their ideas continue to garner support from their Canadian supporters and the denial of their visas continues to receive media coverage.

Undergraduates elect USSU executive for 2015–16 RAINER KOCSIS Associate News Editor The results are in: the University of Saskatchewan’s undergraduate body has chosen its students’ union executive members for the 2015–16 academic year.

Jack Saddleback, Ata Merat, Kehan Fu and Gabe Senecal were announced on March 26 in Upper Place Riel as the U of S Students’ Union’s incoming executive.

From seven possible candidates, the four students were chosen to lead the USSU in the roles of president, vice-president operations and finance, vice-president student affairs and vice-president academic affairs, respectively.

A total of 4,368 ballots were cast in the election. Out of 18,668 eligible voters, that’s a voter turnout of approximately 23 per cent. Last year’s turnout was 19 per cent.

With 2,302 votes, Saddleback will return to the USSU executive after serving a term as vice-president student affairs during the 2014–15 year. His opponent, Noah Kelleher, received 1,654 votes with 874 abstentions.

Saddleback said he is ecstatic to begin working with the new executive.

“Every year at the U of S I get to see such bright and passionate people striving to create progress in their fields and I am delighted to work with everyone,” said Saddleback. “By working with the general manager, Caroline Cottrell, I’m confident that we can prep for an amazing year.”

Saddleback ran on a four-point platform, which included the creation of a mental health strategy and sexual assault policy as well as increasing student and community engagement. He said his first order of business will be to oversee the transition of the new USSU executive into their roles.

“As a former exec, I see that the transition for new execs needs a well-rounded approach,” Saddleback said.

Previous to his political career,

Saddleback spent two years as the USSU Pride Centre co-ordinator and looks forward to continuing to represent students of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Saddleback is a member of the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s Youth Council and one of five faces for this year’s Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health national anti-stigma campaign.

“I am grateful that students see the skills, experience and passion that I have for our university,” said Saddleback. “I am thankful for our campus community’s support and am absolutely excited to work for the betterment of our university as a whole.”

Feeling that a lot more could be done to help students, promote safety and use creative initiatives to improve campus life, Saddleback said he decided to run for a second term.

Saddleback is the first transgendered USSU president. Additionally, this is the fourth consecutive year a First Nations president has been elected.

Current USSU president Max FineDay will be graduating at the end of

the semester.

Running unopposed, Merat received a 60.7 per cent vote of confidence, 2,932 votes, and was acclaimed to the position of vice-president operations and finance. There were 1,497 opposing votes and 401 students who abstained.

Having previously been the university’s SafeWalk co-ordinator, Merat aims to use this experience to develop a mobile phone application to connect students to U of S Protective Services. He also supports the installation of a Bitcoin ATM on campus.

With the USSU passing a historic balanced budget for 2015–16, Merat wants to ensure the continued financial success of the union. He sees maintaining relationships with student organizations and clubs as vital.

“I will look for new ways to support innovation and entrepreneurship among student groups,” said Merat.

In his new position as vicepresident student affairs, Fu said his experience within the Arts and Science Students’ Union, his

passion for campus life and his boldness are key characteristics that will make him a strong member of the USSU executive.

Having spent the last three years involved with the ASSU — acting as president for the 2014–15 academic year — Fu aims to use this experience as he strives for increased engagement between student groups and the USSU. “I want to meet all the student and campus groups, centres, organizations and project co-ordinators [and] sit down and discuss what their vision for next year is,” said Fu. “From there, we can begin laying the groundwork for building Welcome Week.”

He believes that increased and open communication between the USSU executive and the undergraduate body will encourage students to take a greater interest in what the union can do for them and why it is important to the campus community.

Fu secured the title of vicepresident with a total of 2,244 votes, or 46.5 per cent of the ballot, narrowly beating out competitor Wendy Li who came in a close

second with 1,875 student votes.

There were 711 abstentions.

The position of vice-president student affairs was comfortably won by Senecal with a total of 2,544 votes, more than doubling Felipe del Campo’s 1,255. Garnering the most abstentions of any position, vice-president student affairs had 1,031.

Senecal has represented students as a member of the University Students’ Council for the College of Arts and Science and looks forward to putting this experience and knowledge into practice. He said his first order of business as vice-president will be “to meet with university administration and other pertinent stakeholders to discuss mutually beneficial interests.”

Senecal campaigned on a platform of creating a student bill of rights, implementing tuition forecasting and creating a winter Welcome Week and other community-building activities.

The election results for University Senate and USC were also released on March 26. The incoming University Senate members are Kristen Daniels, Monica Iron, Mark Tan, Jordan Robertson, Jon Sieffert and Senecal.

Pan-Canadian Day of Action reaches U of S Socialist Students Association and Revolutionary Student Movement rally in the Bowl SOMA DALAI

About 100 students and faculty rallied around the Peter MacKinnon Building in the Bowl on March 24 to protest rising tuition and fees and what they view as the corporatization of education.

The rally was organized as part of the Pan-Canadian Day of Action, which saw student protests held at the University of Ottawa, the University of Toronto and the Université de Montréal. The Revolutionary Student Movement, based in Ottawa, helped to organize the protest at the University of Saskatchewan along with the local Socialist Students Association.

One of the rally organizers, Hannah Cooley, a fourth-year history student from the U of S, read out the rally’s five key demands.

“The elimination of student fees and the forgiveness of debt, the removal of all barriers to education, increased funding for indigenous students and the decolonization of education, post-secondary institutions for the people and not for profits and the democratic control of the university by students, faculty and staff.”

Each demand was met with loud cheers from the assembled protesters.

Amanda Bestvater, a fourthyear political studies student, and Mari Anderson, a third-year English major, are two more of the rally organizers. Bestvater and Anderson are part of the USASK Mobilization Committee, one of many such groups that have sprung up around Canada to plan the Pan-Canadian Day of Action. While both are hopeful that the rally will inspire dialogue, neither expect immediate change to come from one protest.

“Today is just the starting point for all of this,” said Anderson. “We really want this to be the beginning of a conversation

that we’re having and the beginning of a lot of minds being changed towards tuition and what open access means for students.”

When asked what “open access” would entail, Anderson had a ready response.

“Open access would mean that anyone who wants to learn is able to learn. Right now there are a lot of barriers in terms of tuition fees, in terms of student loans. So even if you can get student loans to pay tuition, student loans are really inhibiting to everything after your graduation.”

Disability barriers, systemic racism and the impacts of colonialism are also things Bestvater and Anderson want the university to address. Bestvater said she believes the university’s search for corporate investments is incompatible with these goals.

The main concern with corporate investment, according to Bestvater, is that it comes with conditions and disproportionately funds certain departments within the university.

“The problem with [corporate donations] is that it almost a l w a ys c o m e s w i t h s t r i ng s attached,” said Bestvater.

“Strings like expecting certain quotas in faculty research to be directed at helping out the corporations with land investigations… nuclear research that have faculty [researching] the benefits of nuclear [energy] implementation in Canada, looking at how to get corporate investors for our growing resource economy.”

Bestvater was one of six people to give a speech in front of the assembled crowd, where she made the case for education being more than an investment in the job market.

While the speakers represented a wide range of viewpoints, their speeches had common themes: recognition of Canada’s colonial history and indigenous rights, the need for accessible

education and the overall importance of education. All themes resonated strongly with protesters but when asked, many students listed tuition increases as their primary concern.

Also at the rally, students were circulating a petition to lower tuition.

Kehan Fu, incoming U of S Students’ Union vice-president student affairs, also voiced his related concerns.

“People who are in Grade 10 and Grade 11, people who are just coming into the country, they’re the ones who face the brunt of these changes,” said Fu. Jack Saddleback, incoming USSU president, was also present among the demonstrators.

When asked about his thoughts on tuition, Saddleback stressed the importance of involving students in the decision-making process.

“Tuition is too damn high, there should be more consultation going on with students,” said Saddleback. “Student consultations about tuition have been getting better, but they always need to be getting better.”

NEws 5 Battle of the brains in Gormley versus Smith live debate april 2, 2015 - THESHEAF.COM

KEIGHLAGH DONOVAN It was a full house at the Father O’Donnell auditorium at St. Thomas More College on March 25 as students and staff witnessed a head-to-head live debate on the constitutional right to strike in Canada.

The debate involved John Gormley of News Talk 650 CKOM and University of Saskatchewan assistant-professor of political studies Charles Smith.

On Jan. 30, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in favour of the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour when they constitutionalized labour unions’ right to strike.

This means that alongside the right to human dignity, equality, liberty, freedom of the press, respect for the autonomy of the person and enhancement of democracy, among other fundamental human rights, now falls labour unions’ right to strike.

The question being debated was whether the Supreme Court of Canada got it right. Smith believes they did.

“In SFL versus Saskatchewan, the Supreme Court of Canada said that The Freedom of Association protects a meaningful process of collective bargaining and the right to strike and it reinforced the notion, and I quote, that ‘the judicial arc with regards to workers’

rights was bending increasingly towards workplace justice,’” said Smith. “Those eloquent words were written by Justice Abella for the majority in the Supreme Court of Canada and I think that conclusion was correct.”

Smith has a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Northern British Columbia and a master of arts degree and doctorate from York University. Smith has written and published a great deal of literature regarding the role of unions and labour laws in Canada.

Daphne Taras, dean of Edwards School of Business, acted as the moderator for the debate.

Smith’s opponent, Gormley is a former Saskatchewan Member of Parliament, graduate of the U of S College of Law and a member

of the Queen’s Counsel.

Before outlining his argument, Gormley thanked Smith for organizing the debate.

“One of my signs of the coming apocalypse is a society that believes you can debate in 140 characters on social media, so I delight in this opportunity today,” Gormley said.

Despite their friendly banter, Gormley disagrees with Smith for the most part.

“This is a significant and an important win for organized labour, in fact it is a gamechanger for labour relations in Canada,” Gormley said. “I just think it’s wrong.”

Smith presents his position as one that is against unilateral decision-making, which he argues

has occurred in the past. He supports the need for reasonable dialogue between labourers and employers, which he argues is what the newly constitutionalized right now demands.

“In 2007... the government attempted to erode the basic ability of workers to bargain conditions at work through the imposition of Bill 5, the Public Sector of Service Essential Services Act,” Smith said.

“The declaration of essential was incredibly sweeping, included no appeal mechanism for the unions involved. You were essential if the government said you’re essential.”

Smith proceeded to provide details of the history of the politics behind such a decision and wrapped up his 10-minute argument by reiterating his support of

John Gormley of News Talk 650 CKOM argues against labour unions’ right to strike.

the Supreme Court’s judgment.

“This was too broad and too sweeping and in coming to conclusion the court struck down the act, giving the government a year to revise the bill,” Smith said.

The court “did not declare a stand alone right to strike, it was tied to a process of discussion, a process of discourse, a process of reasonable dialogue.”

Gormley came to refute Smith’s claims however, outlining his rebuttal in three overarching themes: the practical consequence of the court’s decision, the policy implications and how it affects the state of law in Canada.

Gormley compared the court’s decision to other constitutional human rights.

“Expect labourers to challenge any limit to related strike activity...

If a right to strike is a fundamental freedom, nobody expects you to give 48 hours if you are not going to go to church, or 48 hours to speak to somebody your point of view, so why, then, could you possibly tell someone why or how they are going to go on strike?”

On a policy level, Gormley revealed how fundamental freedoms normally apply to all Canadians, yet this particular right only applies to the percentage of the population who are part of a labour union which Gormley argues is only 30 per cent of Canadians at most.

For the upcoming 2015 football season, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies will have a new broadcast partner on the radio, come gamedays.

On March 25, it was announced that Huskie Athletics and the Saskatoon Media Group reached a five-year radio broadcast deal that will see all Huskies football games — including preseason, regular season and playoffs — broadcast live on CJWW, which can be found on 600 AM locally. The broadcast will include an hour long pre-game show as well as a 30-minute postgame show.

Athletic director Basil Hughton was thrilled to announce the new deal.

“We are excited to start this new partnership with Saskatoon Media Group,” said Hughton at a press conference on March 25. “Huskie football is an important part of the Saskatoon and Saskatchewan community and we are proud to be featured on Saskatchewan’s most listened to radio station, CJWW.” Play-by-plays of the games will be done by Dave Thomas, who currently works as the host of the CJWW morning show and also called Saskatoon Blades hockey

games for nine seasons alongside Les Lazaruk. Joining Thomas in the booth as the colour commentator will be a Huskie football alumnus and a sideline reporter to provide an even better game day experience for the listener.

For students, this will make accessing information and keeping up with the Huskies even easier. Fans who are unable to attend home games now have a better platform to listen to the green and white, as well as all fans who wish to listen to the team’s road games and can’t travel to see them play.

The move to Saskatchewan’s most listened-to radio station is a positive development for the Huskie football program, as they will receive more exposure and coverage, which in turn will hopefully draw new fans to the team in this football-crazed province.

Saskatoon Media Group general manager Vic Dubois was also very excited to announce the agreement.

“It is an understatement to say we are huge football fans here at Saskatoon Media Group, as for many years we have broadcast the games of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Saskatoon Hilltops,” Dubois said at the same press conference. “What we have been missing is the top-notch action of [Canadian Interuniversity Sport] football and our always competitive U of S Huskies. We are very excited that now Huskie football will be heard on CJWW for years to come.”

Saskatoon Media Group is a multi-platform media company responsible for the radio stations 600 CJWW, 98Cool FM, 92.9 The Bull CKBL-FM as well as the Internet information page, saskatoonhomepage.ca.

Huskies football games were previously aired on CK750 with Brenden Crowe and Kelly Bowers calling the action. Bowers was inducted into the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame in 2011 for his contributions to the city in basketball and football and has been the voice of the Huskies football team since 1998.

The Huskies join the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds and the University of Regina Rams as the only teams in Canada West football to have all of their games broadcast live on the radio. The University of Calgary Dinos and the University of Alberta Golden Bears currently do not have broadcast partners, while the University of Manitoba Bisons only have their home games aired.

With a new broadcast outlet, the Dogs will look to hopefully end their recent run of poor playoff performances. Saskatchewan hasn’t won a post-season contest since 2009 when they defeated the Rams 53–23 in the semifinals, before dropping a heartbreaker to Calgary, 39–38, in the Hardy Cup. The win over Regina was the squad’s lone playoff win since 2006.

The schedule for the upcoming season has not yet been released.

Basketball great Steve Nash calls it quits KADE GATES On March 21, Canada’s greatest basketball player and the man who inspired a nation to pick up a ball retired. However, the question remains: what was Steve Nash’s legacy?

Nash was a freshman point guard at Santa Clara University who lead the 15th ranked Broncos to a first round upset of the number two seed University of Arizona Wildcats in the March Madness tournament. As a rookie, he was booed at the NBA draft by Phoenix Suns fans when he was selected 15th overall — and then proceeded to become their all-time leading assist man.

He led the famous “seven seconds or less” Phoenix Suns offence that set a record for points per game in a season alongside teammates Amar’e Stoudemire and Shawn Marion. Nash was also a two-time MVP, an eighttime All-Star and one of the greatest point guards in NBA history.

To me, Nash will be remembered for his heart, grit and determination.

Here are two of the greatest examples of Captain Canada’s displays of heart.

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the Canadians came in featuring a roster with a grand total of two NBA players, Todd MacCulloch and Nash. Not much was expected of the scrappy Canadians until Nash hit the floor. He carved up the opposition from the opening

tip of the tournament. Nash averaged nearly 14 points, seven assists and four rebounds a game while leading the Canadians to first in their pool.

The hallmark game came against the Yugoslavians, led by NBA star Peja Stojaković. Nash proceeded to absolutely torch the Yugoslavians for 26 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, while only turning the ball over once in the process and locking up first place for Canada.

It wasn’t meant to be for Team Canada as they were dispatched in the quarter-finals at the hands of France.

Nash was in tears while being helped off the floor by teammates, clearly upset that the Olympic journey was over.

This was the only chance Nash ever had at an Olympic medal; Canada has not returned to an Olympic basketball competition since, but looks primed to do so this coming summer when qualification begins for 2016.

The next example comes in the 2007 NBA Western Conference Semifinals.

After taking a knee to the groin courtesy of San Antonio Spur Bruce Bowen and suffering a broken nose during a collision with Tony Parker, Nash led the Suns on a fourth quarter comeback to defeat the Spurs, tying their best-of-seven series at two apiece.

With roughly 20 seconds left in the game and the Suns up three, Robert Horry bodychecked Nash into the announcers table and started a fight on the court. Nash calmly walked up

to the free throw line and iced the game.

The next game — without Stoudemire, who was suspended due to a fight in the previous game — Nash led his team with a double-double and nearly stole game five away from the Spurs. The Suns wound up losing the series in six games.

Nash never won an NBA championship and will go down in history as one of the best players ever to not win a title. The class act announced his retirement through an article on The Players’ Tribune, a website where athletes can write articles.

“I will likely never play basketball again. It’s bittersweet. I already miss the game deeply, but I’m also really excited to learn to do something else.

This letter is for anyone who’s taken note of my career. At the heart of this letter, I’m speaking to kids everywhere who have no idea what the future holds or how to take charge of their place in it. When I think of my career, I can’t help but think of the kid with his ball, falling in love. That’s still what I identify with and did so throughout my entire story,” Nash wrote.

When Nash picked up a basketball and fell in love with the sport, little did he know that in doing so he would cause millions from an entire nation to fall in love with the sport as well.

Thank you for all you’ve done for the game of basketball, Steve Nash.

Riley Humbert reflects on Huskies career AUSTIN ARVAY Sports Editor For Riley Humbert, basketball has always been a family affair.

The sport has been a constant in Humbert’s life, as she started playing at the age of five after watching her older sister.

“My parents both played basketball and my dad played five years with the Huskies. My parents and my older sister inspired me to start playing,” Humbert said.

With both her parents being talented on the court as well as having two sisters who are both involved in the Huskie basketball program, you could easily say that Humbert lives in a basketball orientated family. Her older sister Jill played with the Huskies for five years before becoming a coach with the team in 2012 and her younger sister Maddy is in her second year with the team.

“I feel fortunate to have played with with my younger and older sister on the Huskies, as well as having my dad coach me as I grew up and teach me many of the basketball skills I posses now,” Humbert said.

“I am lucky to have such a strong support system because of my family.”

Standing at just 5’5”, Humbert used a nice combination of skill, athleticism and toughness to find open space on the floor. She protected the ball well on offence and rarely took a bad shot, all while helping her teammates.

She idolized a Canadian point guard growing up, who shared a similar style as Humbert.

“My first role model was Steve Nash and that’s who I tried to model my game after. He was an amazing ball handler who was always able to create open shots for his teammates. That was the type of guard I wanted to be,” Humbert said.

As the graduating guard recently played her final minutes with the green and white, one of her final games came against the University of Alberta Pandas in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport Final 8 quarter-finals. She dropped 23 points on 7–12 shooting, including a 5–7 performance from beyond the arc.

“It was a good feeling be able to hit those shots in such a big game,” Humbert said. “My teammates were able to find me and I had the confidence to knock them down, I was happy to help the team win the first game in front of our families at a national stage.”

This was one of the many fine moments in her career but there is one event in particular that will stick out the most for Humbert.

“Winning Canada West in my

fourth year would have to be my favourite memory,” Humbert said.

“To be able to spend every day with such an amazing group of ladies who worked so hard was an amazing accomplishment.”

Much like her older sister, Humbert will be remembered as one of the best Huskies in women’s basketball in recent history. As well as her hustle and dedication on the floor, Humbert was equally motivated off the court. In 2013–14, she took home the All-Around Female Athlete of the Year — awarded to athletes who excel athletically, academically and who are heavily involved in their community. Humbert admits it was sometimes tough to stay organized.

“I made sure that I planned out my weeks so that I could designate my time to train, practice and study.

Time management is a skill that is essential to being a student-athlete,” said Humbert. “Our team does an excellent job of getting into the community and volunteering for various events, so I was happy to be a part of that.”

As Humbert finishes up her kinesiology degree and moves on to bigger and better things, she will never forget the people she met and is thankful for her time with the Huskies program.

“The biggest thing I’ll take away are the lifelong friends I have made and positive experiences I have had. Over my years with the

Huskies, I have been able to develop my leadership skills, time management and personal confidence that I know will help me in the

future,” Humbert said. “My coaches were incredible role models and I hope I will be able to have the same impact on others.”

The demise of Saskatchewan Junior Hockey KADE GATES Two Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) teams are in dire need of help from their communities if they want to survive to play another year. Otherwise, the future looks grim.

The Kindersley Klippers and Weyburn Red Wings — two longtime members of the SJHL — announced this season that they were in a bleak financial situation.

The cost to run a team annually varies from $300,000 to $800,000 depending on travel schedules, ice time rentals and equipment needs.

This is just a small sample; plenty of other teams around Junior A hockey in Canada also cannot afford to ice teams.

The Neepawa Natives of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League also announced they were $90,000 in debt, a major blow to the town of just over 3,800 that also relies on the team to help stimulate the local economy. The same story of communities losing their teams due to poor financial standing is happening all over the country.

Neepawa mayor Ken Waddell summed up the sentiments of many when he spoke of the financial trouble with CBC News.

“It means a lot to the community.

You know, the name is out there all

over the place because of the hockey team.”

But the question is, who is to blame for these teams’ financial difficulties? Is it the management, the community or the players? All of these factors play a part in the cocktail that is the demise of Junior A hockey in Saskatchewan.

In January, Weyburn was the first team in the SJHL to announce that they were struggling financially with $180,000 in debt and that if things did not turn around, they would be required to fold at the season’s end.

Red Wings president Larry Tribiger spoke about the team’s issues with Global News.

“You can’t pinpoint exactly when the team’s financial woes started but it came to a head this month,” Tribiger said. “One of the biggest reasons is declining attendance at the games, Junior A teams rely heavily on attendance. Also, busing and equipment costs have gone up.”

The Klippers themselves are an estimated $80,500 in debt to the town of Kindersley and are currently

trying to pay back $500 of debt per game played. The Klippers average attendance last year was 591, third last in the SJHL — only ahead of Lac La Ronge and Notre Dame — which is not great for a team that finished fourth in the league.

In all of these cases, a common theme emerges: poor fan attendance has crippled these teams.

The community and the team should be intertwined together, but lately communities are no longer supporting the product on the ice. If fans want these teams to improve,

they need to support their team by giving them the financial flexibility to attract players.

Unfortunately, even the most loyal communities aren’t safe from geography. The disappointing truth is that many players refuse to report to northern or isolated markets like Lac La Ronge, Nepawa and Flin Flon, Man. There are frequent rumours that players who are suddenly scratched by these teams and then sent out of town are demanding trades and refusing to report to these towns.

This leaves these teams shorthanded as they have to trade away talented players just to field a roster. Frequently, the players acquired in these deals are of a lesser talent level. Lac La Ronge last made the playoffs in 2011–12, while Neepawa hasn’t made the playoffs since the 2009–10 season.

If these teams start to fold, the biggest loser will be the communities that house these teams. Junior A hockey teams pay billets to house their players in local homes. It costs teams roughly $70,000 to billet their players and that money is pooled back into local families and businesses. As the games bring in visiting teams and their fans, the towns’ hotels and restaurants will lose out on potential game day profits.

All in all nobody wins if Junior A hockey in this province dies off.

Don’t stop the presses

SASKATOON, THU

We’ve all heard someone say it or perhaps have said it ourselves — journalism is a dying profession.

Dwindling print readership and the untamable force of the Internet put the future of the press in jeopardy.

In the digital age, anyone with Internet access and a curious mind can be a journalist. While instant access to knowledge is a valuable and liberating resource, it may also lead to the large scale distribution of false or unsubstantiated information. The role of the reporter has been placed in the hands of the public, making the working journalist seem obsolete.

Universities are on the cusp of this digitized future.

The millennial generation makes up the vast majority of student populations across the globe and has been immersed in technology since birth — making univer-

examine the world, its issues and its injustices through a student lens, giving campus newspapers a uniquely powerful voice that cannot be found in major media outlets.

“You can worry about being the by-the-book journalist later on. There’s no shortage of opportunities to do the dull grunt work of journalism,” said Sweetman.

“There’s a lot of freedom [in student journalism] to experiment with what you’re doing. People should take advantage of that and not try to make their paper read like it’s the Globe and Mail. Find your own voice for the paper that you think will resonate with your readers on campus.”

However, this responsibility can be overwhelming for young journalists who are just beginning to find their footing in the world of print media.

“It’s important to hold whatever community that you’re in accountable. Larger journalism publications rarely descend on campus unless it’s a really big story, so it becomes the responsibility of the people who are part of that community to tell the community’s story,” said Josh O’Kane, reporter for the Globe and Mail and former Editor-in-Chief at the University of New Brunswick’s weekly paper, the Brunswickan.

Placing relatively inexperienced journalists at the

said O’Kane. “There’s a real energy to dig for stories on a personal and connecting level with students on campus that you wouldn’t normally get with the huge daily [newspaper] that only has so many reporters to send around an entire city or country.”

At their best, student newspapers are a live wire for student life, culture and concerns. At their worst, they are still an asset. They provide a training ground for reporters who are new to the game but hungry to learn and sharpen their skills.

The Other Press “gave me an opportunity to write and improve in a supportive environment. I’ve published some absolutely garbage articles in my time, as I’m sure we all have, but the feedback and encouragement from my peers and editors has made each experience one I can grow from,” said Eric Wilkins, assistant editor at the Other Press, in an email to the Sheaf.

Despite the unavoidable hiccups, student newspapers have produced journalists who excel in their field. They will continue to do so due to the fact that, through their university publications, student journalists have gained real world experience at a young age.

The hands-on learning opportunities that university papers offer can even be more valuable than those

sities nerve centres for the quick diffusion of information. It’s no surprise that the student press arose from this ever-changing and growing environment.

But are student-run newspapers still relevant when nearly every university student has access to countless social media platforms, blogs and online sources?

Mick Sweetman, Ontario board representative for the Canadian University Press and a student at George Brown College, believes that student media remains relevant because it’s one of the only areas of media left where independent journalism is able to thrive.

“With the increasing concentration of media ownership in Canada, student papers are really one of the few places where independent journalism is able to exist these days outside of a few really niche publications,” said Sweetman.

The mindset of a university campus could be considered much more liberal than that of the outside world, allowing student newspapers to toe the line and cover sensitive issues that larger news publications may be unable to discuss. With this comes the responsibility to

forefront of a bustling and expansive community such as a university campus can unfortunately lead to mistakes. However, these errors are more forgivable when made in smaller scale publications as opposed to papers with national distribution.

“You’re learning to make a publication while you’re putting it together and you feel like you should know more or be more proficient than you are,” said Natalie Serafini, Editor-in-Chief at Douglas College’s student paper the Other Press, in an email to the Sheaf. “It can be incredibly stressful and it means there will inevitably be mistakes. At the same time though, it can be its biggest strength: that opportunity to learn and possibly — almost definitely — make mistakes.”

The isolated circle of the university campus grants student journalists the perfect opportunity to report on stories that resonate with them while simultaneously cultivating relationships with other students and faculty members.

“Student journalism, there’s a special kind of energy there because its not as jaded as the real world,”

obtained through a degree in journalism.

Such degrees don’t necessarily ensure a job after graduation, which is why work experience is especially important. However, one of the greatest obstacles facing student journalists is that many employers use journalism school as a prerequisite for consideration.

“It’s so easy to streamline the application process by only filtering in the people who have gone to journalism school because you can tell they have a minimum amount of education,” said O’Kane. “Unfortunately what that does is it tends to leave a lot of really great student journalists who may not have gone to journalism school, but through the reading and doing of great journalism, have actually really done amazing things.

When I finished in CUP, I applied for 15 internships.

I got one interview and no job. That was after doing journalism for six years.”

Though it does push the pause button on the career ambitions of many young journalists, the demand for a specialized education is nothing new — especially in a field that deals exclusively with reporting on events

in an educated and factual manner.

Anyone can conduct research, write an article and post it online. Professional journalists should act as the gatekeepers for this mass spread of information in order to regulate what is circulated around the web and set a standard of accuracy. If no such standard is set, how will readers ever tell the truth from a cleverly veiled lie?

In a time when print media is already being eulogized by members of the public and even journalists themselves, being well versed in the inner workings of the Internet is an asset for student reporters. Being able to navigate through the never-ending onslaught of information posted on websites such as Facebook, Twitter and Reddit to find a compelling and newsworthy story is an invaluable skill for the modern journalist. Proficiency in such tasks often makes them ideal candidates for jobs in media or communication.

“There are many jobs in different sectors where student journalists are going to be applicable and needed,” said Dave Hutton, executive producer at the StarPhoenix and former editorial staff member at the Sheaf.

“That kind of synthesizing of information, the understanding of news and of media that is learned on the

“Almost every student newspaper in the country still puts its print product before its online and social media presence, which can cost it readers,” said Jane Lytvynenko, national executive of CUP, in an email to the Sheaf. “Most people get their news through Facebook and Twitter. They look for content that’s engaging — for example, stories that have compelling photographs and beautiful infographics. Year after year it makes little sense to stick to the status quo of putting print first. Despite that I’ve seen very little change in my five years in student media.”

Given these statistics, why are student journalists clinging so desperately to a ship that seems to be sinking? The readers who crave the comforting weight of a newspaper in their hands are a dying breed, making the work of professional and student journalists less relevant. In the most Darwinian of terms, journalists must adapt to live in the technological age or die alongside the printing press.

If journalism is such an precarious path though, why do so many people continue to take it?

Daren Zomerman, web editor for MacEwan University’s the Griff, believes that the appeal of journalism lies in humanity’s desire to tell and be told stories.

The student press is one place people can go to make

even if it’s the truth.

Due to more personal subject matter, the reception that student-run publications receive from the student body is often mixed.

Jacey Gibb, humour editor at Simon Fraser University’s the Peak, describes what is often the case for the student body’s opinion of his campus paper.

“I feel like people fall into three categories: they love the Peak, they hate the Peak, or they don’t know what the Peak is,” said Gibb.

Conflict between journalists and their readers certainly isn’t a new concept. Whether it’s because of a specific article, author or their opinion on the quality of the publication as a whole, students love to hate their campus newspaper.

“Conflicts between student journalists and student publications are frequent and unfortunate,” said Lytvynenko. “Most of the time, all it takes to resolve them is an open dialogue and an open mind, but that doesn’t happen.” “‘Journalist’ is kind of a dirty word now. It’s a difficult job and it can be a thankless job,” said Gibb.

It often seems to be a futile struggle for student journalists to continue to exist in an environment that consistently tries to phase them out. Despite this neg-

ground in student newspapers is really important. A lot of my previous colleagues from [the Sheaf] are now working journalists or lawyers or running their own magazines,” said Hutton. “They’ve all gone on to do pretty successful things and a lot of them would probably attribute that to their time working at a student newspaper.”

Mastery of online media is something that journalists have leaned more heavily towards in recent years but haven’t yet fully committed to. Many still see the value of print, making them hesitant to let go of their physical papers and devote their publications exclusively to digital platforms. There is still a percentage of people whose loyalty remains with having their daily paper delivered to their door, but this group grows smaller and smaller each year and tends to mostly include older demographics.

The nostalgia for print newspapers applies even to the university press, as most of the student papers in Canada stubbornly continue to print and distribute a weekly paper despite a drastic dip in pickup.

their voices heard.

“There’s nothing like seeing a piece evolve from the time you pitch the story to the moment you hit that final keystroke,” said Zomerman. “This is the incubator where ideas, bonds and voices are made.”

In addition to being a voice for students, campus newspapers are communities where students can build relationships that last long after they’ve left the newsroom.

“Getting to work with people who push you to grow and improve as you all put together the best publication you can is immensely valuable,” said Serafini. “We get to put our names on these beautiful publications, to say ‘I made that’ with amazing people who become like family.”

Being an outlet for student-related media breeds its own set of issues, however. Simply put, student papers get a lot of flack — especially when they’re reporting on sensitive topics that directly affect members of the university population. Nobody wants to see a negative reflection of themselves in the media,

ative feedback, student-run publications continue to publish papers across the country and national organizations such as CUP are in no danger of slowing down.

The student press remains strong because student papers are the only media outlets that are able to place their finger on the pulse of the campus community.

“Because of their ties to the community, student papers often gain the trust of sources and end up breaking stories that get picked up by national media.

Across the country, student journalists are doing solid, important work nobody else is,” said Lytvynenko.

Campus newspapers are the conversation starters for student issues, the training camps for many of the country’s top journalists, the narrators of university history and the dumping grounds for student discontent. Whether you see your university newspaper as the lifeblood of campus culture or as the butt of a joke, it can’t be denied that student papers have been and will continue to be an integral facet of the global media landscape.

Getting through finals stress free CHELSEA POWRIE

Every student dreads facing the pressure and stress of exams, but services offered by the University of Saskatchewan mean that students don't have to go it alone — or spend a dime.

If a student simply needs some relief time for their brain, the PAWS Your Stress program is a great option.

St. John's Ambulance therapy dogs are available in Upper Place Riel room 323 to provide cuddles and smiles to any student who needs to have some fun. What's Your Cap, a student group dedicated to a culture of moderating alcohol consumption at the U of S, provides the program free of charge every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.

However, a student who needs more than just a pick-me-up can find help as well. Free tutoring is offered for writing, math and statistics classes through the University Learning Centre. Drop-in tutoring is available for help with writing assignments in room 142 of the Murray Building from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays, with extended hours until 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

For math and statistics, students can seek help in the Murray Building

room 144 from Sunday to Friday and the varying daily hours of operation are available online at usask.ca/ulc/ math. Both groups also have information on private tutors for hire.

Sometimes tutoring isn't enough to salvage performance in a course.

In that case, the U of S Students’ Union offers academic advising services. Extenuating circumstances can sometimes cause a student to need retroactive withdrawal from their classes and a meeting with an advisor can help with this process.

For arts and science students, the Academic Advising office operates in room 248 in the Arts Building on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The office is especially busy this time of year, so phoning to make an appointment or dropping by the office as soon as possible is a good idea. Advisors can help alleviate the academic repercussions of poor course performance, and aid in withdrawal in the case of emergencies.

Mental health can have a seriously detrimental effect on students' exam performance, so the Student Counselling Services are a valuable resource. Drop-in hours are available for first-time clients every weekday from 9 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on the third floor of Place Riel.

After an initial visit, students can book ahead with a counsellor for

follow-ups. The services are free for students enrolled in at least one course and are especially useful for anyone seeking academic concession. The counsellors are prepared to help students by continuing therapy, recommending another professional, advocating for academic standing or sending a referral to one of the doctors upstairs at Student Health Services.

Student Health Services do not offer drop-in appointments, but can be reached by phone for bookings and offers a few same-day appointments for urgent cases.

If a student is struggling with prolonged anxiety, stress or depression, which is more than just the usual end-of-term blues during the exam period, making an appointment with a professional may help ensure academic success in the future. However, as with Academic Advising, this is an extremely busy time of year so the sooner you make an appointment, the better.

In addition to these groups, the USSU Help Centre is an excellent resource to turn to. Their mission is to “provide information, referrals and personal support relating to

both academic and non-academic needs” to U of S undergraduate students, so their office is a onestop shop for information and aid.

They are located in room 27 of the Arts Tunnel and have regular hours from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and until 4:30 p.m. on Fridays.

Finals season isn’t easy for anyone, but a student in despair shouldn't give up. There are options for help with every problem under the sun and they can all be found right here on campus.

Culture 13 Ballroom Dancing Club a timeless piece of U of S culture

april 2, 2015 - THESHEAF.COM

MADISON TAYLOR Culture Editor Since the 16th century, ballroom dance has broken down barriers to reach people of all classes and cultures. The tradition of accessibility is currently continued through the University of Saskatchewan Ballroom Dancing Club.

Founded in 1965, it started with a modest 30 members. Half a century later, the group has over 800 dancers from the U of S and the Saskatoon community at large and remains one of the most active and beloved clubs on campus.

“The club was founded the year that The Sound of Music came out, when Doctor Who was just in its second season,” said Ezra LaLonde, publications officer for the U of S Ballroom Dancing Club, in an email to the Sheaf.

“Rock ‘n’ roll had barely been invented and Beatlemania was in full swing. To me, as someone in their 20s, all of these things are older than time so it's kind of a weird thing to be a part of a club older than them.”

Despite its rich history, the

club is not limited to just traditional ballroom dance. It teaches an umbrella term of dance called American social style, which includes routines such as the waltz, the rumba, the tango, the polka and the foxtrot. The classes are tailored depending on the skill level of those registered, ranging from beginner to advanced and specialty sessions.

The club celebrated their 50th anniversary this year with Dancero, an event held at TCU Place on March 28 featuring over 50 dancers who showcased unique group and solo routines.

The night included dinner and drinks as well as video and photographic displays outlining the club’s illustrious history. Dancing wasn’t limited to professionals however. All attendees were encouraged to dive in and try their hand at a routine, whether it be one that was completely new to them or one that had been carefully honed and practiced throughout the year.

Though the impulse to sign up for dance classes with no previous experience may not come naturally, club member Corey Waldner, who graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences in 2010, ensures those interested in registering that campus groups are a fun and relaxing way to take a break from the university grind.

“I'll give the advice I was given that pushed me into dance: pick something to join that has nothing to do with work and nothing to do with school homework,” said Waldner. “Get away. Your stress will fall and your sanity will thank you.”

The club recruits new members through various forms of advertising and media including radio and television, but LaLonde believes that these methods aren’t always necessary as the group continually receives a steady amount of interest from the public.

“The club is simultaneously very well known and completely obscure,” said LaLonde. “But I think our main form of advertising is word of mouth. Usually once people know you're a dancer, they're pretty interested in it."

The greatest obstacle facing groups such as the U of S Ballroom Dancing Club is simply that dancing skills aren’t nearly as common or popular as they once were, especially in a younger demographic. However, LaLonde believes that people’s inherent desire to move to a beat overshadows this decrease in prevalence.

“Dancing is the best way to make friends that there is. Everybody does it. Engineers, lawyers, janitors, astronauts — they all dance,” LaLonde said.

“It’s a way to keep social traditions strong while still appreciating modern music,” said Rheanne Haines, president of the U of S Ballroom Dancing Club.

Waldner and LaLonde share a few words of wisdom for newcomers interested in becoming a part of this half-century old piece of U of S history.

“Don't get frustrated and just have fun. Everyone is the same when they first start out. You don't expect to become fluent in

a new language after one lesson,” Waldner said.

“I was the worst beginning dancer ever. I cringe whenever I think about it,” LaLonde said.

“When I turned the corner and started having fun, it was mostly because my self-consciousness and pretensions had started to fall away.”

D’Lish Cafe hosts delightful live reading series SAMUEL RAFUSE Reading your work in front of a live audience may seem like a daunting task, but live literature readings are a great way to get involved in the local arts community.

The River Volta Reading Series is a monthly event founded by masters of fine arts writing students Sara-Jane Gloutnez and Chelsea Forbes who are both in their final

year at the University of Saskatchewan.

Hosted by d’Lish Cafe, this month’s show featured a handful of current MFA writing students sharing their works of poetry and literary and genre fiction with an intimate audience of fellow Saskatoon writers and art enthusiasts.

The event also featured an open mic at the end of the night, which invited those present to showcase their own talents as well.

with its warm, inviting and friendly atmosphere. The entrance draws you into the main area, where floor-to-ceiling mirrors make the space seem infinitely large and yet intimate and familiar.

people together each month.

“We wanted another way to find people of the community and let them get involved,” Loberg said.

“There’s so many writers in Saskatoon, but people attend from all over the place.”

Writers shared their works-inprogress of poetry and prose ranging from heartfelt drama to audacious comedy to space fantasy.

Writer and actor Brent McFarlane, a first year MFA writing student at the U of S, brought the house down with his hilarious piece that can best be described as an absurdist breakdown of the very format of intelligible writing. Writers referenced each other’s work and shared their love of literature over coffee and wine.

Many of the works were extraordinarily funny and helped establish a laid-back atmosphere in which anything could happen — on the page at least.

“There’s lots of different genres,” Loberg said. “We feature people that it’s obvious don’t have any books out yet.”

Gauging from the reception of the audience, many contributors to the River Volta Reading Series could have opportunities to publish their fiction in the near future.

The event co-ordinators also discussed how writing events often get dismissed as high-brow, pretentious indulgences of more artistic-minded individuals of the

community. The equally romanticized and criticized cliché of the manic-depressive alcoholic writer hanging out with beat-poets just doesn’t reflect the wide variety of people who have an interest in literature, as evidenced by the River Volta Reading Series.

Haldoupis and MacLean-Evans took turns introducing the writers and it was clear that they are passionate about Saskatoon’s culture.

The best thing about the series is that it has feature nights for both graduate students and established authors, meaning the roster is always changing but the heart of the program stays the same. No matter what they’re writing or if they’re just there for a good time, everyone shares a love of language and creativity.

According to Loberg, the intent of the River Volta Reading Series is to gather people with various backgrounds together. Current writing students are more than welcome among both their peers and veteran writers. The opportunity to read in front of a live audience is invaluable and exciting. The River Volta Reading Series is a perfect venue for confidence building, both for fledgling authors and experienced poets alike.

More information about this free monthly series may be found on the River Volta Reading Series Facebook page.

How to tackle subletting the smart way

Although subletting your apartment can be a great way to save money during the summer, it’s important to take the necessary steps to execute sublease attempts properly.

Before you begin, priority number one is to consult your lease and your landlord. Even if nothing is mentioned in your lease about prohibiting sublets, it's best to err on the side of caution and obtain explicit written permission. Failing to do so could result in damage to your credit score, eviction from your apartment or even legal action against you.

The Government of Saskatchewan’s web page for the Office of Residential Tenancies has information about the respective responsibilities in this situation and is worth a thorough read before taking any action.

Your next step is to find someone interested in moving in.

There's a few ways to go about this but the safest is through friend groups. If you can find someone you already know or someone that others can vouch for, you'll be far less likely to end up with a tenant who misbehaves. Of course, this isn't always possible, so your next option is to post an ad.

The University of Saskatchewan's housing website provides a link to Saskatoon Kijiji as a source for rentals and sublets, so this is a good place to start in order to reach student traffic. Taking care in the creation of your advertisement is paramount, as a slapdash write up will come across as unprofessional and probably miss highlighting important aspects of your place.

Include photographs of your tidy apartment — wash those dirty dishes and hide discarded laundry — and outline prices and rules explicitly. This way, you won't waste your time on inquiries that eventually turn out to be inappropriate for your space, such as the girl with four cats who applied without realizing your building had a no-pet policy.

As for pricing, be sure to include the excess costs outside

of your standard rent. Will you be leaving your wireless internet hooked up for them? Which utilities are included? If you're looking to ensure you nab a tenant, it is a good idea to price down the rent a little bit and cover the balance yourself. You're still getting a huge discount on your summer expenses and your place will be more likely to be snapped up.

Being explicit about all of this in your ad will make it more likely to garner responses.

Once you have some inquiries, you're required to give the potential tenant a showing if they request it. Cleanliness is still key at this point and anything else you can think of to make the place desirable.

Then, once you've picked a tenant, another written agreement should be signed. Make sure they sign off on the current state of your place and take note of any existing damage. You may request a security deposit, which can’t exceed one month's rent. Be prepared to back up your claim to keep the deposit after they move out — before and after photos are extra insurance — or return it within seven days of their vacancy.

Hopefully at this point you've found someone you are happy with, but your work isn't quite done. Remove any valuables or personal items. Make sure your tenant understands when rent is due and agree upon a method of delivery. Options include monthly e-transfers and post-dated cheques. Agree upon a procedure for moving out and specify what cleaning you'll want done. Ensure your tenant knows how to get in contact with you and leave a list of answers to common questions such as Wi-Fi passwords or garbage and recycling details so they don't have to bother you for those. Finally, set a date and time to transfer keys.

The process for subletting can seem daunting and is certainly not without risks. Just remember, you're still responsible for everything under your lease, so take as many steps as possible to ensure you've covered your liability bases and enjoy your discounted rent with peace of mind.

The U of S should have a men’s centre because there are issues affecting the lives of male students that warrant discussion.

Canadian males are over three times as likely to suffer from HIV/ AIDS as females. They are also about twice as likely to develop alcohol or substance addictions and about three times more likely to commit suicide. Looking to issues on a legal-social front, Statistics Canada finds men overwhelmingly more likely to commit acts of domestic violence or to be incarcerated compared to women.

A men’s centre would be a place to address these issues through the lens of male identity and students — both male and female — could come together and discuss issues that predominantly affect men in a positive, open environment.

While some students might think that services addressing these issues already exist on campus, the problem is that existing services do not speak to masculine identity. We need to engage with male students as a group in order to create social change on problems like domestic violence. Changing the broader culture of how men approach and respond to their own health issues is not something that can be effectively done on a one-on-one level.

A men’s centre is needed to provide male students with the tools and education necessary to make progress happen. It would help encourage men to actively create solutions. To say that a men’s centre is unnecessary is to ignore that men have problems too, as well as to discourage education on these subjects and keep men out of the conversation.

In theory, one could argue that my idea for a men’s centre sounds good, but in practice it would devolve into a political advocacy organization serving to promote misogyny and attack women’s rights. This argument suggests that

men as a whole have some sort of nefarious objective to rollback feminism, which is untrue for the majority.

It is true that there are some men’s organizations that are very anti-women. A men’s centre on campus would therefore require an explicit, well-defined mandate and would need to be operated carefully to avoid this potential pitfall, but if these safeguards are put in place, potential risks can be mitigated. If we choose to assume the worst — if we do not meaningfully engage men in these conversations somehow — we will never advance as a society.

Obviously a men’s centre would benefit male students, but it would also have benefits for female students. Many of the issues addressed by existing men’s centres are focused on male treatment of women. While university men’s centres are a rare breed, a U of S men’s centre could follow the model established by organizations like White Ribbon, which strive for an end to violence against women by working to promote respect for women, establish counseling services to foster healthy relationships and offer anti-domestic violence education.

A U of S men’s centre could also incorporate education programs addressing issues like sexual assault. Engaging male students in these discussions is crucial to achieving meaningful change and a men’s centre would provide a venue for these conversations.

From anecdotal experience, I often feel that I am told what I should think or how I should behave as a man, but I sometimes feel left out of that very discussion.

I doubt I am alone. A men’s centre would provide a space where men can construct their own meanings of manhood and abandon the outdated patriarchal ideals of masculinity.

It has been said that patriarchy hurts everyone. I would contend that until we fully engage men in the conversation, it will never fully be eradicated. This means having conversations addressing both women’s and men’s issues. Without a venue like a men’s centre to openly discuss these problems, they will persist within the culture of masculinity — and they will continue to hurt us all.

Drowning in debt: Can we actually afford our education?

TAB RAHMAN Copy Editor

More students than ever before are attending university for post-secondary education — and more students are also graduating with massive amounts of debt. Have universities become accessible at the expense of being affordable for students?

In the 21st century, the bachelor’s degree has become the new high school diploma. Employers nowadays require applicants to have a minimum bachelor’s education in order to even get a foot in the door in the job market, never mind actually landing a job. Therefore, the majority of post-secondary students choose to pursue university because it seems it is the only way to get a job.

Subsequently, a record number of students are also graduating with large amounts of student debt.

According to a survey done by the Bank of Montreal, average Canadian student debt is at $26,300, which is a massive amount for a young person to take on.

The legislated student debt ceiling in the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act also hit its maximum of $15 billion in 2010, meaning the total amount of student loans owed to the Federal Government of Canada reached — and now in 2015 exceeds — that number. This doesn’t take into account provincial loans, student lines of credit and bank loans that students take out to cover university costs.

Many students choose to take on this debt because they assume that it will help secure a job in the long term. The numbers tell a different story: the unemployment rate in the 15-24 age bracket is a staggering 13.6 per cent as of May 2014, compared to the overall national average of 6.8 per cent of total unemployment reported in January 2015. Statistics Canada also reports that one in four Canadians in the same age bracket are in jobs that do not require their degree qualifications at all.

Now this is where the chorus of, “Well, maybe if they didn’t want to be a full-time Starbucks barista, they shouldn’t have gotten an English degree!” chimes in, but rest assured, science, technology, engineering and mathematics majors suffer from unemployment just as much as others. Young people going into nursing, education — hell, even law graduates — are having a hard

JEREMY BRITZ

time finding jobs and subsequently unburdening themselves of the massive debt they have had to take on.

Student debt is also a motivating factor for the 70 per cent of high school graduates that will not be pursuing a post-secondary education — whether it be university or a polytechnic institution. According to a 2013 report by the Canadian Federation of Students, people “from marginalized communities, low income backgrounds and single parents are more likely to be strongly adverse to accumulating student debt.”

This is a sad fact, considering these are the people that institutions of higher education can help the most with concern to bettering their situations. Post-secondary education is not affordable, therefore not accessible to them.

In that same report, the CFS/FSEE

outlines the risks to students graduating with student debt. In addition to potential financial ruin, around 14 per cent of graduates defaulted on their federal student loans within three years of graduation. Students that have high debt may suffer from stress, tension, anxiety and interrupted sleep schedules and completion rates of their studies decrease.

Student debt even affects career paths. In a survey done in 2013 by the CFS/FSEE of medical and law students across Canada, many students graduating from those programs were seeking jobs in fields that were not necessarily their first or second choices because they would help pay off their student loans faster.

This is certainly apparent in the Canadian medical system, as we see fewer medical graduates going into family medicine and instead

choosing other, higher paying areas in the medical field. Even lawyers are stepping away from taking on more public service or pro bono work, doing the minimum amounts necessary.

In the end, it seems that education is neither wholly accessible or affordable for many young Canadians. But really, what other options are there for us? Just like university isn’t for everyone, neither is polytechnics.

Maybe it’s time governments actually invest in education instead of giving out tax credits that only help students who don’t have any debt.

And maybe it’s time for universities to help steer their students onto a more productive path for postsecondary education, instead of churning them through the system and sucking out all their money.

Get schooled on summer learning opportunities EMILY KLATT Summer’s almost here and while it’s tempting to put your brain on autopilot and just relax, it’s time to rethink the “lazy, hazy, days of summer” mindset. Students should keep learning, even during the summer break.

While this is hard to believe in the midst of writing papers and cramming for exams, soon University of Saskatchewan students will be free from the confines of class schedules and assignment due dates.

There are a number of practical reasons why summer is the perfect time to continue learning: it’s a great opportunity to get ahead on your degree and by taking more classes during the summer, students could even finish their degree a year sooner than expected. You may also be able to fulfill any prerequisites you need for courses in the fall or to redo a class that you underperformed in.

Summer classes offer unique learning opportunities that are different from the regular school year.

Summer courses are taken over a shorter period of time, meaning that you absorb information more quickly than usual. There’s also less time between the start of the class and the final exam, which means less time to forget things.

Students usually take fewer classes in the summer as well, so

their attention is less spread out.

Students who seek a more oneon-one experience in an intimate atmosphere are in luck as well, as class sizes for these courses tend to be much smaller.

Sometimes summer classes are more interesting or creative than regular ones. Some are physical, like Drama 236: Stage Combat.

Other classes — like the newly created History 298: Human Rights in History course — offer travel opportunities, giving students the chance to visit the new Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg. Because students are not confined by regular schedules, there is more freedom in the types of classes that are available.

Of course, there are more than just practical benefits to summer learning. Education is also good for your mental and physical wellbeing. Learning new things keeps your mind engaged and prevents summer boredom from settling in.

In a social sense, classes are also a great way to make new friends and meet people that share similar interests.

While taking summer courses through the U of S is the most conventional way to continue your education during the break, it’s not the only option. There are tons of other classes and courses being offered all over the city. Summer is the perfect time to try your hand at new kinds of exercise, like swing dancing or kickboxing. The Physical

Activity Complex on campus has a range of fitness classes, all free to U of S students.

The Saskatoon Public Library also holds different workshops throughout the year. Students can participate in book clubs, brush up on their tech skills and workshop original pieces of writing.

All of these programs are free of charge and are offered at libraries

throughout the city.

Speaking of the library, remember books? Those things that you’re forced to read for classes all year and then refuse to touch for fun?

Maybe it’s time to pick up a book and just read. No taking notes, no exams, no required chapters. Just pick a book that interests you. If books aren’t your thing, try a newspaper, magazine or blog. Anything

that gets you reading and learning new things.

Humans are constantly taking in information; it’s how we function.

Why should this stop just because regular classes do?

This summer, take the time to get schooled, explore different learning opportunities and make the most of your brain, your body and your break.

Go ahead, blow off class SAMUEL RAFUSE Around halfway through each semester, every student realizes that there’s at least one class that just doesn’t matter to them anymore. Luckily, there is a proper way to give up on a class without giving up on a credit.

One of the jokes on the NBC sitcom Community is about character Jeff Winger’s refusal to learn anything or to take college seriously. Thus is born the search for the ultimate blow off class — the easy course that requires absolutely no effort while offering all the benefits of a full credit. Despite our best intentions at registration, there’s usually one class that we just let fall to the wayside and give up on.

Sure, that particular class may not start out as a blow off attempt, but it ends up as one. After the romance of a fresh term has given way to exam headaches and due date extension bargaining, we realize we’re just too busy to be giving 110 per cent in every class. If you’re taking five classes and you’re keeping track of the math, that adds up to a little more than all the energy you’ve got.

The best thing you can do is keep going to class. Maybe you’ll absorb something unintentionally.

Besides, you’ll just be wasting your money if you stay home anyway.

You say you’ll use that time to study but we all know you’ll be napping, so don’t kid yourself and get your butt into that seat.

Now that you’re in class, it’s time to make good use of Google. Google knows everything and if you can’t be bothered to learn from class, at least you can get on the Internet to get a passing grade.

Trust me, somebody out there

has made a video tutorial on your topic. With minimal effort comes minimal academic achievement, but in today’s world, spending a little time on a search engine is a lot more beneficial than it appears to be.

How about expanding your horizons? It’s tempting to slack off on the easiest classes but why not sleep through the harder ones instead? Generally getting higher grades requires compounded

effort, meaning it’s easier to get a 70 instead of a 60 than it is to get an 80 instead of a 70 and so on.

This can also work in your favour. By spreading your efforts over a number of classes, you can distribute your work among easy and difficult classes so that you don’t have to focus all your attention on the one class that’s bringing you down — plus you can still maintain a pretty decent average.

If all else fails, you can

CHRISTINE CZAJKOWSKI

genuinely seek out a blow off class.

Of course, this requires research to be done properly. After all, you don’t want to end up with a class that actually teaches you something you didn’t think you were going to be learning.

Photography classes, for example, are about a lot more than taking black-and-white photographs of buildings and calling it a commentary on capitalism. Also don’t forget to keep track of the number of electives you eat up.

Finally, just blow it off. There’s nothing you can do at this point and it’s too late to get your money back, so just take some time to be irresponsible. Chances are no one will really notice since you’re just a face in a crowd most of the time.

The surprising thing is that after a few days, you might find yourself longing for class. Maybe you’ll redouble your efforts.

Learning is complicated and it takes a lot of mental effort. Sometimes you just need to take a step back before the material really soaks in. That moment of total frustration when nothing makes sense and you don’t know who you are is the moment before you learn something new. Just do what you need to do to ride it out.

Before you know it, it’ll be over — I promise.

Intellectual integrity should be emphasized in university KATRINA DIXON University should not be a place where we simply learn to parrot back other people’s flawed ideas.

Unfortunately, a lack of intellectual integrity ensures that this is often the case.

We’ve all written essays that made us want to vomit simply because they were what the instructor wanted to hear. What I don’t understand is why a mediocre essay that a professor agrees with should get a better mark than an excellent one that they dislike.

A universal part of the student experience is dealing with people we deem to be stubborn or closed-minded. Read comment sections anywhere on the Internet and you’ll understand. By and large, you will find people scoffing at the apparent stupidity of others. Only in very rare instances do you find people conceding that a position different from their own may contain some merit. This special breed of people demonstrate intellectual integrity.

University is meant to be a place of higher learning that develops the leaders of tomorrow. Frankly, I would like the leaders of tomorrow — and today for that matter — to be able to think critically and exercise intellectual

integrity. However, that is not what we are being taught to do at the University of Saskatchewan, nor is it what’s being modeled for us by our instructors.

Philosophy 140: Critical Thinking at the U of S briefly introduces an intellectual code of conduct. The course content and readings include the most basic of guidelines, such as “don’t use fallacious arguments.” Simple things like appeals to emotion or irrelevant authorities often run rampant in debate, as do attacks against people rather than against their arguments.

The best studying I ever did was simply reading online comment sections on blog posts in my spare time and identifying fallacies in each one. Very few comments were fallacy free and many long-winded ones contained multiple argumentative errors. To give people the benefit of the doubt, I would imagine these fallacies are unintentional.

Many people probably don’t actually know how to construct a valid argument — likely because our professors do a terrible job of teaching students those skills.

All too often it seems that fallacious arguments are being used because there is no other way to avoid conceding that someone else may, in fact, hold a stronger position.

This isn’t seen only in comments sections either. It happens in original posts online, classrooms, politics, the media and our everyday conversations.

I propose that we would all greatly benefit from a greater push towards intellectual integrity.

Students, for example, are being done a disservice when they believe that their grades will suffer if they think for themselves and develop their own ideas. We should be marked for the quality of our work, not for the degree to which we agree with our instructors on paper. We would benefit greatly if our instructors valued intellectual integrity as much as its academic counterpart.

This isn’t necessarily easy for instructors. It would take a lot of humility to be able to say that a student has valid reasons for thinking differently than the supposed expert. However, imagine how it would affect our student experience to be able to take any position in written assignments — as long as we can validly and adequately support them — without fear of being penalized for having the “wrong” idea.

Returning to the Philosophy 140 code of conduct, someone with intellectual integrity shouldn’t be focused on being right. They should be interested in expressing the truth or the

strongest position. The goals of this mission should be to provide opportunity for clarification or amendments and to reconstruct arguments in their strongest form, rather than their weakest.

Is this painstaking? Sometimes.

Is this difficult? It can be. Does this require the open mindedness and humility necessary to concede that you may not always hold the strongest position? Absolutely. Nonetheless, everything from our comments

sections to our greater world would be far less hostile if we all practiced these guidelines.

Genuine dialogue and progress are not created by two sides standing strong and immovable.

They’re formed by people willingly looking at both positions in order to accurately find their merits and flaws. This honesty in thought may be the single most important characteristic in changing our world. Then again, I’d be happy to discuss the contrary.
