Huskies Athletics update Catch up on all the latest results from the Huskies’ first weeks of 2020. and third. The Vikes tried to close the lead, however, it was not enough to avoid defeat.

Jan. 11 gave the Vikes another chance against the Huskies, but showed the same outcome as the Huskies dominated 102-72. Dukate added another 22 points to her record, moving into fifth all-time Huskie regularseason with a total of 1,385 points. This milestone moves her one spot ahead of current Huskie assistant coach Allison Fairbrother.

The Huskies will travel confidently to Winnipeg this weekend as they compete in two games against the Manitoba Bisons.

Track and field

The Huskies are off to what looks like a promising season based on their performance at the inaugural, newly-named Sanderson Classic last weekend.

They took gold in eight events towards a 17 medal finish from the meet at the Saskatoon Field House.

Four of their gold medals were won in the women’s event.

Fifth-year Michelle Harrison landed the team two gold medals, one in the 60-metre event with an impressive 7.6-second dash and the other in the 4x200 metre team relay. Alongside Harrison on the relay team was Ashlyn Mooney, Kendra Farmer and Leadan Chartier. They are ranked second in Canada, showing great promise for the season to come.

It was no surprise that Courtney Hufsmith won the gold medal in the 1000-metre race as she is ranked second in the country for the event. The 4x800 metre relay team also swept the competition and took home the

fourth gold medal in the women’s events.

The men’s events were as exciting with Josh Websdale taking gold in pole vault with a soaring 4.62-metre performance, and Scott McKerracher taking silver.

First-year Michael Akintunde took first place in long jump with a 7.06-metre showing, followed

by Landon Gill at 6.80 metres.

Carter Cheveldayoff showed his strength with an impressive 15.55-metre weight throw earning him top spot. The final gold was presented to the 4x400 metre team who pulled ahead with only 42 milliseconds for first place.

The team will travel to Edmonton this weekend to compete in the Golden Bear Open where they will continue to work on benchmarking against their U Sport open competitors.

Men’s basketball

Men’s basketball started the 2020 year off strong by winning three of their four games, moving the team up to sixth in the Canada West standings with a season record of 9-3.

The dogs took down the Trinity West Spartans in the first

matchup of the year. Having most recently played the Spartans back in October 2018, the Huskies brought their top game again, taking a 98-70 victory on Jan. 3 and a 99-92 win on Jan. 4.

Alexander Dewar was a key performer, sinking 19 points and 22 points respectively. JT Robinson made an exciting buzzer-beating 3-point shot seconds before the end of the second quarter of game one and then made 19 points and five rebounds in game two.

The Huskies faced the University of Victoria Vikes last weekend for a two-game face-off, taking a win and a loss. Jan. 10 saw the Huskies break the Vikes’ hot streak with their first loss since November as the home team took the 78-71 win.

But Jan. 11 put an end to the Huskies’ perfect 2020 start as they were defeated 94-74. The Vikes took advantage of their turnovers, scoring 17 points compared to the Huskies’ four.

Robinson led the team with 26 points.

Looking ahead, the Huskies will face the third-place Manitoba Bisons in Winnipeg this weekend.

Women’s basketball

The women’s Huskies basketball team continues their hot season staying undefeated as they power through their first four games of 2020. They earned second in the Canada West standings, tied with the Calgary Dinos, 12-0.

The Huskies dominated defensively in both games against Trinity West Spartans, allowing only 39 points scored against on Jan. 3 and 47 points scored against on Jan. 4.

Summer Masikewich had an impressive performance, scoring 29 and 19 points for their 83-39 and 101-49 respective victories. In game two, the team soared offensively, shooting nearly 50 per cent through the game.

In the first home games of the season, the team continued to show their dominance last weekend. Masikewich, Sabine Dukate and Libby Epoch drove the team offensively in the first game, leading the Huskies to a close 73-68 victory. The teams fought for the lead with the Vikes taking control in the first quarter, but the Huskies regained control in the second

The men’s hockey team started the year facing off against the 2019 Canada West champions, the Edmonton Golden Bears at home on Jan. 3 and 4.

Taking a 3-0 loss to end their nine-game winning streak in game one, the Huskies came back with a 5-0 redemption win for game two.

The Golden Bears took an early lead in the first period and bested the Huskies, securing the win with another two goals in the final frame while shutting out the dogs.

Mission // The mission of the Sheaf is to inform and entertain students by addressing issues 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, it provides unique insight into university issues through a student perspective. The staff of editors, photographers and artists collaborate with volunteers as student journalists to create a product relevant to students on the University of Saskatchewan campus.

Land Acknowledgement // The Sheaf acknowledges that our office is built on Treaty Six Territory and the traditional homeland of the Métis.

We pay our respects to the First Nations and Métis ancestors of this place and affirm both the importance of our relationship with Indigenous peoples and students at the U of S and our commitment to recognize and remain accountable for our collective history.

Now at the halfway point of their term in office, University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union executives Carlos Muñoz Pimentel, vice­ president academic affairs, and Jamie Bell, vice-president operations and finance, are ready to share the progress they have made so far and their plans for the new year.

What progress have you made on your election platforms so far?

J.B.: “With financial reporting, my vision was to create an infographic on what’s going on. What we basically decided to do is the monthly accountability statements.

Every month we go through and see what our spending is like in both our revenues and our expenses, [and] if they’re above or below our budgeted target amounts. All that information is going to be posted on the website so that way, people can look over it and get a more general sense of things.”

C.M.P.: “Scholarships usually have very set dates within the school year that they

need to be applied for… My idea is that we will try to promote the university website for scholarships because there are so many scholarships and they all have different deadlines, but it’s just a matter of promoting it at the time that most of them are available.”

What has been your favorite part about being on the USSU executive?

J.B.: “My favorite part so far is being able to interact with such a huge number of students and student groups. I think that I’m really fortunate that I have so many touch points and that I’m able to act as a mentor, as an administrator and as a support person for campus groups, which are, in my potentially biased opinion, the most vibrant part of this campus community.”

C.M.P.: “My favorite part of my job, and as gross as it sounds, are the meetings. I really enjoy sitting in meetings and trying to figure out big concepts and try to find a way in order to better the student experience here at the university. And that’s usually what I enjoy the most, sitting here and seeing what sort of changes we can make.”

What has been the most challenging part about being on the USSU executive?

J.B.: “I think the work is sometimes romanticized and it’s really difficult when you’re so passionate about something and you want to do the best always. But working so much exhausts you, and I didn’t realize this until the holidays after finals when I basically slept for two weeks because I didn’t know how exhausted and how burnt out I was until I had the opportunity to be exhausted.”

C.M.P.: “With this job, it’s so busy all the time and then you go home and end up just wanting to go to bed. Because of that, my work ends up taking over my life in such a big way that it just ends up becoming who I am as a person, pushing all of my relaxation into my holidays. So that’s why I [think] Christmas was important. [I just realized that] I really was going at it for eight months without really realizing how hard that was.”

How have you been incorporating the USSU’s “The Path Forward” into your positions?

J.B.: “When it comes to “The Path Forward,” I’m mostly in the ‘Facilitate Leadership’ and ‘Revitalize Community’ side of it.

Last summer, I spent a lot of time interacting with student groups either in person [by] going to their meetings or just being super receptive to … answer their emails and help out.”

“And then I’m also looking into doing different ways to encourage collaboration through financial mechanisms. One thing that we were able to do to really facilitate leadership at our last Annual General Meeting was pass the bylaw amendments for removing financial barriers, making the deposit and campaign expenses more affordable.”

C.M.P.: “Mine lands more in the ‘Promote Education’ part of “The Path Forward” and it ends up being more about allowing students to know what their rights and responsibilities are. As well, I am the chair of the Saskatchewan Students Coalition advocating for all post-secondary students here in the province.”

University Students’ Council discusses divestment after USSU decision not to support Divest McGill The case in question at McGill has ended but the conversation on divestment continues.

ANA CRISTINA CAMACHO

NEWS EDITOR

The last University Students’ Council meeting of 2019 had a last minute item added to its agenda: a discussion about the student union’s decision not to send a letter of support requested by Divest McGill on the topic of divestment.

The student-led group Divest McGill has been lobbying McGill University for seven years, asking for them to stop investing in the fossil fuel sector. The letters of support they requested from students’ unions across the world were meant to give them leverage ahead of a vote on divestment by their Board of Governors.

The discussion on Dec. 5 was proposed by council member Sarah Foley, an Arts and Science representative, and it was the first time the topic has come up at the council. The decision regarding the letter was made at an executive meeting back in October and included in the USC package mailed weekly to all councillors.

When the Sheaf reported on the topic in November, the University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union’s comment was that “at the moment, [they were] doing some more research on the topic and will discuss it once [they] receive more information.”

USSU president Regan Ratt-Misponas said the same thing in response to Foley’s questions.

“It’s something that we are still exploring,” Ratt-Misponas said. “We wanted to ensure that we weren’t being hypocritical, and we wanted to research where we are at in terms of sustainability as a campus before we move anywhere else and tell another campus what they can and cannot do in terms of their own sustainability.”

The executive’s approach to the situation remains to gather more information at the local level. USSU vice-president finance and operations Jamie Bell explained at the meeting that he has reached out to the university to meet and discuss their investment portfolio.

Continued from previous page Do you have anything important planned for the 2020 winter term?

J.B.: “I’m looking forward to term two because I have a fairly large Campus Club Week going on, which is going to be nine days and involves two conferences and a number of sessions that we’re hosting here. The sessions are on our website and range from succession planning to a bunch of different things that should be talked about. I’m super pumped.”

C.M.P.: “The Undergraduate Project Symposium is on Jan. 30 this year. There are two sections, you can do a poster presentation or you can present a paper. It’s a great opportunity and there’s lots of cash prizes available for students to win. And I’ve also just been busy doing Teaching Excellence Awards surveying, so there’ll be a second wave of that coming up.”

Bell adds that this discussion with the university should happen before “assuming that they have investments in fossil fuels.”

The Sheaf’s request for comment on the U of S investment portfolio as it relates to fossil fuels was answered by Greg Fowler, vice-president finance and resources. In it, he communicates that “given that the university is based in a highly resource dependent province … the university is “moving toward engagement rather than a divestment focus” and “focusing more on environmental, social and governance factors in our responsible investing strategies.”

Foley says that although further research on the university’s portfolio is necessary, it does not mean the executive’s decision was the right answer.

“I realize that it’s a very complex issue but I also do think that if we are asked for a letter of support for something that supports sustainability, whereas divestment might not be right for us, supporting a significant movement is important,” Foley said.

Another student councillor asked the executive to take decisions such as the letter of support to council instead of deciding on their own “because

there are many different opinions that might be nice to hear.”

Ratt-Misponas agreed to this request.

In an email to the Sheaf, Foley adds that although the decision was made by the executive, the information was available in the USC package for the councillors to bring up.

“The USC and the USSU have good communication practices — the decision was reported to Council in the Executive Committee minutes and reports,” Foley said. “There are opportunities in each meeting for councillors to make motions regarding the minutes and reports.”

Despite the talk of pursuing

the topic further in the new year, the discussions about sending a letter of support after all came too late. On Dec. 5, the McGill Board of Governors voted against divesting from the fossil fuel sector. However, the conversation at the U of S continues as the USSU executive reports an interest in pursuing the topic further for future decisions.

“I ask that a member of our staff do a little more research into divestment and revisit it in the new semester,” RattMisponas said. “I agree with the spirit of a letter of support, but we want to make sure we are on the right path in terms of our own combat of climate change.”

Final question: Have you made any new year’s resolutions?

J.B.: “I’m now a morning person. I’ve been in the office at 8 a.m. everyday, which is not characteristic for me. And I have had maybe one pot of coffee so far in the first week of January, which is significantly less than any other day.”

C.M.P.: “For me it is actually starting assignments on time. I always feel like I’m drowning and trying to finish my assignments at the last minute and then I’m suddenly like, ‘I should have definitely started two days earlier.’”

ALAYNA MOXNESS

Continued from cover The second matchup gave the Huskies an opportunity for redemption. The team did not squander as the 2019 Men’s First Team All-star Carson Stadnyk scored the first goal, setting the team up for an early lead. Again, Stadnyk found the back of the net in the third period. The team lit up, scoring an additional three goals

by Collin Shirley, Jeff Faith and Levi Cable.

Facing the Lethbridge Pronghorns last weekend, the Huskies were able to take control, winning 5-2 and 8-3.

The two wins earned the team third place in the Canada West standings, tied with the Calgary Dinos with an impressive 14-4-2. They sit four points behind the Golden Bears.

In the first game against the Horns, Taran Kozun secured the win defensively with 22 saves while defensemen Sam Ruopp shined with a goal and an assist.

The Huskies closed off the

two-game series with a strong offensive win with Collin Shirley scoring a hat-trick in his time on the ice.

The team has a big weekend ahead as they travel to Calgary to face the Dinos in a tie-breaking series where they have a shot at securing second place in the Canada West standings.

Women’s hockey

The road trip to Edmonton proved to challenge the women’s hockey team as they forfeited a series loss to the Alberta Pandas in consecutive one-goal games.

First-year Kate Ball led the team off with their first goal of the series. Unfortunately, the team was outdone by the Pandas as they fell 2-1.

In the second game, the Huskies showed a promising start with Abby Shirley and Bailee Bourassa scoring in the first and second period, respectively. In the back and forth game, the team fought hard but lost momentum in the third period where the Pandas ultimately took the game 3-2.

In the first games back

at Merlis Belsher Place, the Huskies put their two losses behind them and bested the Lethbridge Pronghorns to secure a third-place spot in the Canada West standings with a 10-6-1-0 record.

The Huskies faced the Lethbridge Pronghorns for the first time since their loss to the team on Oct. 19, 2019.

The first game of the series united the team with a win, courtesy of key performances

by Bourassa, Elizabeth Salyn, Rachel Lundberg and Emily Upgang. Fifth-year Salyn recorded her first two-goal game this season to propel the team in their 3-1 lead.

In the second matchup, the Huskies shutout the Horns 2-0 with Camryn Drevor blocking 16 shots on net. This is the second shutout recorded this season by this second­ -year goaltender.

The team sits at third place in the standings behind the first-place Dinos and secondplace Alberta Pandas. Coming off their last two wins, the team hopes to use that momentum as they face-off the Dinos next weekend at home.

Men’s volleyball

Men’s volleyball started 2020 against the MacEwan Griffins at home, winning the first game in an exciting 3-0 sets and losing their footing in the game two to forfeit 0-3 sets.

In a Huskie career-high performance, third-year outside hitter Levi Olson put up an impressive 10 kills in game one. An aggressive offense by Connor Murray and Daven Pascal stopped the Griffins’ momentum in the second set that was accompanied by a game-high 15 kills by fifthyear middle Daulton Sinoski.

The Griffins broke their 10-game losing streak by winning three identical sets in game two at 25-23. The Huskies’ top performers were Sinoski and Murray with 16 and 11 kills, respectively.

The Huskies will welcome the fifth-place Winnipeg Wesmen for a two-game matchup on Jan. 17 and 18 at the Physical Activity Complex.

Women’s volleyball The

volleyball

team faced off with the MacEwan Griffins on Jan. 3 and 4, resulting in a 3-1 defeat and 3-0 win to secure the team’s sixth place spot in the Canada West standings, tying with the Alberta Pandas with 9-5.

Unfortunately, the Huskies’ performance fell short as the Griffins took the first two sets with 25-21 and 25-20 and the fourth set with 25-22. In the second game of the series, the Huskies were determined to take the game against the fourth-place Griffins.

Head coach Mark Dodds attributed the win to the improved defensive play. On the defensive, Shae Beaulieu was strong, getting 20 and 18 digs, respectively. Offensively, fourth-year outside hitter Emily Koshinsky rose as a leader hitting 14 kills in both games, bringing her total Huskie-career points to 1,009.

The Huskies kept the win at home with three straight sets scoring 26-24, 25-23 and 2521. Travelling to Winnipeg, the team looks strong against the sixth-place Wesman.

Dayne Gawley, the president of the Saskatoon Engineering Students’ Society, sits with his back to the window. A table fills the center of the room, outlined with shelves and papers. He is wearing his red engineering jacket and a beaming smile from ear to ear.

Gawley has heard many of the college’s infamous pranks and rivalries that dates back to the early days of the university. These stories are passed on today not just by faculty members and senior students, but by family members, too. Although it’s documented sparsely, the emotions these stories bring carries on.

When questioned about the history of the annual water balloon fight known as College Splash, Gawley simply asked, “Do you want to go right to the beginning of how that started?”

College Splash is an event that engineering and agriculture students perform during the Fall Term. It is an amicable commemoration of the rivalry between the two colleges, which dates back to more than a hundred years ago. However, stories of the past are vastly different to now. Back then, the rivalry wasn’t just between engineers and agros — commerce and arts students were part of it, too.

The engineers of the past donned their prankster hats when things got dull. The pranks were originally born from a couple of water balloons launched from the top of the Thorvaldson Building, according to Gawley. He says it was the first prank that initiated years of prankings afterwards.

“The campus will attack the Engineering Building at 12:30 today,” the caller said.

“It set the tone for the long history of pranks where the pranks are funny if you’re an engineer and you’re doing the prank, but it’s not so fun if you’re on the receiving end,” Gawley said.

Gawley is among the few who know these stories of the college.

He says that the College Splash came from an event in the ‘70s called “The Crucifixion.” Because rules were not made yet for these pranks, kidnapping was part of the culture then. The engineering students would kidnap the agriculture president and from there on, it becomes a game of King of the Hill.

“The engineers created this huge steel ‘E,’ painted it red and they would kidnap [the agro president]… [He was] duct taped up there and it would be pretty hard to get him down,” Gawley said. “We would plant him on E-plant Hill … and the agros would come riding through and storming it.”

Gawley points at a picture to show the pandemonium unleashed during the event, and it was a sight to behold. Students with their bodies painted red and blue swarmed around this pillar where a person — likely one of the student presidents at the time — is duct taped at the top. The scene is a feeding frenzy, and although it’s just a photo, it’s not hard to imagine the sound of the chaotic cacophony. The event did not last long before it was shut down. Gawley delves into another tale, one that is just as anarchic as the last.

When Izzy Daw, the first female student, enrolled in the college, no one expected a riot to rise. U of S in the ‘40s was the era of campus queens where candidates were put forward for the chance to be crowned as the university’s queen. This pageant posed to be a difficult task for the engineering college as they were traditionally all male.

But because Daw was the only female student in the college at the time, she became the college’s candidate for campus queen. By coincidence, it just so happened that the name of the household sciences candidate was Dawson, and the engineers saw an opportunity. As this candidate put up her posters that said “Dawson for Queen,” they got to work. They crossed out the “son” in the poster, making it “Daw for Queen” in favour of their own candidate.

In retaliation for the ruined posters, the household sciences students infiltrated the engineering college to overturn their old metal-legged drafting tables. The engineers caught them in the act, tied their hands and feet, and wrote “Daw for Queen” on their foreheads before letting them go.

After these instances, one might think that it stops there but it was far from being done. At 3 a.m. the next day, Eyrle Brooks, the president of the engineering student group, received an anonymous phone call.

“The campus will attack the Engineering Building at 12:30 today,” the caller said.

FEATURE to realize that there’s no pig three,” Gawley said.

Another highlight in the engineer’s prank history is their car pranks — Gawley’s favourite stories. These stunts were popular because of their ingenuity — it’s undeniable how gobsmacking it is to see a car where it shouldn’t be.

In 2000, the sky tunnel between Thorvaldson Building and the Arts Building had just been built. As a prank, the engineers took their red “E-car” and set it atop the walkway with the sign, “Nowhere else to park!” hanging for all of campus to see. Reportedly, the university had to rent a crane for $300, which came out of the college’s budget, to remove the car.

The year before that was an even larger car prank.

The engineering students managed to suspend the red E-car on the train bridge. According to Gawley, the SESS denied any involvement in the prank.

And sure enough, at noon of that day, students were seen marching towards the college. But the engineers were ready. They were armed with paper bags, some filled with water and others with soot. They rained down on the mob as they tried to push their way into the college.

What the engineers did not know was that in the crowd, pushing their way through was the engineering dean and a wing commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Yes, the dean and a VIP visitor were soaked in water and soot as they entered the building. The engineering students surely got into trouble from that stunt.

This story is told today in a glass showcase filled with historical symbols and stories on the second floor of the engineering college. Gawley stood in front of the showcase, reading the stories that made the college infamous on campus. He read another one that happened in 1959.

During that year, there was a manure prank pulled by the agriculture students. They filled one of the entrances of the College of Engineering with manure “from top to bottom.” As a means of retaliation, the engineers were about to get a crane and demolition ball, but unfortunately — or maybe in this case it’s fortunately — the dean at the time stopped the students as the pranks were getting out of hand.

But as the last part of the excerpt from the glass showcase says, “But memories are short. It was to happen again from time to time when things got dull.”

The tradition of the engineering pranks and their rivalries continued on into later years. To this day, the agros and engineers are still doing stunts in one another’s lounges. However, this lounge pranking was extended to the Edwards School of Business while it was formerly known as the college of commerce.

Gawley mentioned that the commerce students were part of the prankings until the engineers decided to build a beach in their lounge in the early 2000s.

“What happened was that we made a beach … so we got a bunch of sand and a bunch of water. It’s a great prank because, you know, how the hell did they get all this sand in here? It was fun until the commerce … took all that sand and sold it for a lot of money,” Gawley said.

It was a prank gone wrong: the commerce students saw a surplus while the engineers ended up with a big deficit in their budget.

“It’s just funny that they, being commerce students, of course they saw the economic potential with all that sand,” Gawley said.

Though they joined in the game a bit later, the arts students were once a part of the prankings as well. Sometime between 1958 to 1967, a group of arts students took to the roof of the Arts Building while it was still being built and spray painted “Arts men rule!” The engineers saw the opportunity in this and spray painted an “F” in front of the phrase.

There were many stunts the engineers did over the years, but there are some highlights of the pranking culture. Gawley shared another story that happened between the ‘60s and ‘70s.

Imagine a crowd of students chasing after three fast running, squealing pigs. And one by one, each pig was caught only for the arts students to see the numbers painted on them — one, two and four.

“And then [the engineers] waited to see how long it would take them

“It’s undeniable how gobsmacking it is to see a car where it shouldn’t be.”

Gawley says that it was a mystery to people of how the students did it, but that was the point.

“I remember … my first class of our introduction to engineering. The professor tells us the story, what the history was [and] what it means to be an engineer — that was an example of what it means to not be an engineer — ingenuity although not fully responsible,” Gawley said.

Today, these pranks still happen and are monitored by rules set by the groups. These rules are to ensure the safety of the

stud e nt s and those around them.

But just because there are rules now doesn’t mean that they can’t pull off pranks that will make us ask, “How in the world did they do it?”

In fact, one of the engineering groups last year did a prank that was impossible without the proper equipment. “[They] moved a jet engine that we have…

This thing is extremely heavy,” Gawley said.

The jet engine was put in the walkway between engineering and agriculture. There were signs on each side of the jet that said, “This end sucks,” pointing to the Engineering Building, and the other side that said, “This end blows,” pointing towards the Agriculture Building. As for the meaning of the prank, it was unknown to many, so interpret it as you wish.

Engineering is thought to be a difficult degree to attain, so with all the physics and math they do, it’s no wonder that they let off steam when things become mundane. From pulling simple jokes using water balloons to stunts that show engineering ingenuity, these stories of traditions and pranks are awe-striking. With such a history, these pranks are sure to carry on.

With Gawley describing their pranks as, “ingenuity, although not fully responsible,” you can’t help but ask, “I wonder what their next prank will be?”

Still stuck in the chaos that 2019 left behind? There may be a way to help get you back on track.

For years, another trip around the sun has been associated with fresh starts and lists of goals to complete throughout the year. It often feels like there is not enough time in a day to breathe, let alone achieve goals, especially as a university student. However, there is a way to track and organize the time you have so everything is a little less stressful — bullet journaling.

To those who are not familiar with this subject, you may be wondering what bullet journaling is. In truth, that question can be covered in book-length detail — see The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll — but here is a bit of a FAQ to clear up any preconceived notions or misunderstandings.

To start at the very beginning, bullet journaling is a written method of creating, planning and organizing your life. It may sound incredibly intimidating — and it can be at first — but that is because it is up to you what to put in your very own bullet journal.

Think of it as a standard

planner with the year, months and days mapped out for you to fill in. The catch is that you can design how your daily life will look, and you can add whatever else you want to the pages. Not only is this helpful to declutter your thoughts but to also practice mindfulness and appreciation for what you do throughout the day.

The original bullet journal methodology, created by digital product designer Ryder Carroll, is based on condensing and capturing information through the form of bulleted lists. These lists are then broken down further into categories, such as tasks, events, notes and others if desired.

All you really need to start is a notebook or journal and a pen. Seriously. The biggest benefits you will get from your bullet journal will be when you are logging information in by hand. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t decorate. If you would like to spice things up, some of the most popular decorations are done with highlighters, markers, stickers and washi tape.

Though it may seem like YouTube, Pinterest and Tumblr will tell you otherwise, you do not need any level of artistic ability to have a bullet journal.

In addition, the practice of bul-

na w ha

n La

let journaling does not belong to any gender. It tends to often be associated with femininity — most bullet journalists on social media are female — but it is meant for everyone.

In case you are wondering how to get started on your pages, here is a guideline to work off.

1. A future log, consisting of a full year by months. You can use this to make note of holidays, birthdays and larger events, like your scheduled final exams.

2. Weekly spreads mapped out by the days. Covering each day of the month will give you space to identify your tasks, due dates and personal reflections on your day.

3. Trackers. These can be a challenge to keep up with, but they are great practice for consistency and awareness. You can track whatever you want to — your mood, budget, habits and so much more.

These are just a few ideas that you can create pages for, but as mentioned earlier, it is all up to you. Your bullet journal is made by you, for you. If a page does not have any use to you, there is no rule that you must use it. But who knows? Maybe this will give you the 2020 vision you have been looking for.

Good luck!

Celebrity activism: HMT Entertainment presents a new age of VRcades: The future of Golden opportunities or gilded privilege? social gaming Gone are the days of grimy arcade tokens. We’ve entered the age of VR, baby.

Celebrities can talk the talk on activism but can they really walk the walk off the red carpet?

at affordable prices only in the past decade.

Despite how new this area of technology is, the amount of games and mind-blowing features packed into the consoles is quite remarkable. At HMT, a plethora of such games are found, like a motorbike that moves with the vehicle you drive in-game.

Perhaps the most impressive showcase is found directly in the centre of the room, which Trinh described as the feature he's proudest of. A group of up to four players step into a massive cage and are transported into a post-apocalyptic landscape.

They must work together through a horror environment as long as they can. “I haven’t seen this anywhere else in the world,” he explained. “[It’s a] breakthrough of technology of bringing teamwork to VR.” The most exciting aspect to VR technology lies combined within its newness and its nature of piquing the curiosity of nearly everyone. The room to innovate on this technology is one without walls.

Trinh even mentioned the possibility of creating a fiveversus-five arena in the style of popular team shooter games. In an age of revival for social health to combat the physical isolation technology can bring, something as wondrous as a VR arcade could be just the wedding we need between ground-breaking entertainment technology and welcoming social spaces.

It’s hardly a secret that technology has blasted off in the past 30 years. With each passing day, humanity makes massive innovational strides in fields like medicine, transportation, construction and computing. But it’s not all serious business.

Technological leaps and bounds within the digital entertainment industry are so plentiful you could call the whole shindig a trampoline park. Many remember the Nintendo DS from their childhood, and perhaps even the NES or Sega Genesis, but you’d be hard pressed to find someone who can detail a recent arcade visit.

Despite nostalgia for arcades being alive and strong thanks to the recent ‘80s revival in pop culture — looking at you, Stranger Things — there aren’t many of these facilities left standing to scratch the itch. Upon reflection, it seems similar social settings are somewhat scarce.

With gaming culture more normalized now that we carry supercomputers in our pockets, it isn’t too far a stretch to say the demographic for video game hubs is larger than ever. Finding someone who has never once played Angry Birds, Geometry Dash or Crossy Road is a task even Hercules couldn’t complete.

Accessibility is far from the only attractive trait in modern gaming. Graphics quality and game mechanics are pushed fur-

ther routinely, and the consoles themselves have more bells and whistles than a train engine.

From detachable controllers to being able to virtually take you to another planet entirely, there’s something anyone can get behind. Who wouldn’t want to escape reality with only a headset, even for only a few minutes?

Now, something as high-tech as instant teleportation through a pair of goggles sounds ridiculous. This may be true but it’s also entirely real, and it may be what replaces those retro hangout spots. I sat down with Levi Trinh, representing his family’s business HMT Entertainment, to get the scoop on virtual reality game centres.

HMT opened the doors of their futuresque establishment on Broadway Avenue to the eager public on Jan. 4. This milestone is, of course, significant for their business, but equally significant to Saskatoon, as they are the very first of their kind to open up an all VR arcade here.

Trinh stated that they are “very excited to bring something new to the city.”

Virtual reality as a form of entertainment is still quite new. The first notable use of the technology was for medical and flight simulation training, after which the technology crept its way into commercial entertainment through the ‘90s. It truly exploded in popularity when headsets like the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation VR were developed commercially and released

It was impossible to miss celebrities using their platforms to speak out about what is happening around the world in this year’s 77th Golden Globe Awards.

Several celebrities like Cate Blanchett and Phoebe WallerBridge spoke out about the bush-fires that are devastating Australia.

Actress Patricia Arquette began her acceptance speech by saying that history books will not remember Jan. 5 for the Golden Globes, but for a country “on the brink of war,” speaking of the rising tensions between the United States and Iran.

She later added to her statement by encouraging people to vote in 2020. As well-intentioned as these impassioned pleas by celebrities might be, something about them doesn’t sit quite right.

Celebrity activism has a long history. Think Band Aid 1984 with their song “Do They Know It’s Christmas”, the Make Poverty History campaign featuring faces such as Brad Pitt and Justin Timberlake, or most recently, Kim Kardashian West’s “Climate change is real ” tweet.

These campaigns have their star-studded casts asking the world to donate to charities so that they can make a difference together. They repeat the point that if everyone donated just a little bit of money to these charities, the world’s problems could be solved with a snap of the fingers.

Unfortunately that is far from realistic, as the world’s issues are often far too complex for things to truly change just by donating to charities. Yet being asked to donate money by these famous, ultra-wealthy people does feel a bit rich. Why should we be the only ones to donate when some of us can barely afford groceries?

The problem with celebrity activism is that a lot of them don’t realize they are part of the problem. These people have amassed more wealth than most of us will ever see in our entire lives, and their excessive lifestyle contributes to the increasing socio-economic divide between classes

and further contributes to climate change.

Thankfully there are some celebrities who understand this.

George and Amal Clooney have not only donated half a million dollars towards March for Our Lives, but they have also created the Clooney Foundation for Justice which advocates for “justice and advancing accountability for human rights abuses around the world.” They are also partnered with UNICEF USA in helping Syrian refugee children in Lebanon go back to school.

Celebrities can advocate all they want but if they can’t practice what they preach, everything that they say just feels disingenuous. Furthermore, sometimes the activism really is just the bare minimum to the point where it’s hardly even activism at all.

Take Joaquin Phoenix for example. The Joker actor vowed to wear the same custom-made Stella McCartney suit at every awards show in an effort to reduce waste.

Now besides the fact that such an act would have been hardly noticed unless he announced it — as the black and white suit is a staple of every red carpet — it really is the bare minimum one can do to reduce waste. Do students consider wearing the same outfit twice a week as ‘reducing waste’?

Perhaps Phoenix should look to the example that longestablished activist Jane Fonda is giving in the vein of clothes related activism.

Fonda, during one of her arrests after protesting climate change in Washington, D.C., said that her red coat will be the last item of clothing she will ever buy. She is doing so in an effort to “cut back on consumerism,” as she believes that the fashion industry is promoting wasteful consumerism and harming the environment.

Celebrity activism is becoming performative and ineffective — so what should they do? If the world’s rich and famous want to #staywoke, they should begin by understanding that they speak from a place of privilege, and that means that they, more than anyone else, are in a unique position to be doing the most in charitable efforts.

The impact of carbon tax on Saskatchewan The move to implement a tax on fossil fuels creates problems for people and companies.

SAKSHI GOYAL

The purpose of a carbon tax is to reduce fossil fuel usage due to the negative impacts it has on our climate. Imposing carbon taxes will encourage companies to manufacture and produce goods in a more efficient manner by using alternative sources of energy.

When companies are required to pay a carbon tax, they will be more aware of the emissions they generate. If they depend less on oil and fuel, they may turn to green sources when producing energy. Imagine cars being fueled using environment-friendly ideas such as electricity and hydrogen fuels.

There is a need for synthesizing ideas that help us generate electricity from alternative sources which are both eco-friendly and sustainable.

Another benefit of the carbon tax is that it has the potential

10 / OPINIONS

to enhance revenue significantly, which perhaps can also provide additional funds to produce green electricity.

Green energy is a form of energy that comes from sources like wind, sunlight and rain. Green electricity is eco-friendly, more sustainable and can provide immense benefit to communities in both urban and rural areas.

Carbon tax also has the potential to prevent further damage caused by pollution and carbon dioxide on the environment.

While it is thought to be a great idea for some provinces, it can be bad news for others.

Saskatchewan has pushed the narrative that the province will be impacted negatively by carbon tax, but the experts in the field are not so sure about the validity of this statement.

Still, the Saskatchewan government holds firm to its belief.

According to Environment Minister Dustin Duncan,

Sakshi Goyal

“The federal government has significantly underestimated the economic impact of its carbon tax and overestimated the expected greenhouse gas reductions.” In the media release from 2018, Duncan suggested that a decreased GDP results in non-competitive in-

dustries and fewer jobs across the province.

This perceived decline in job opportunities is the main reason why the Government of Saskatchewan is not pleased with a carbon tax. However, in an interview with The Canadian Press, Trade Minister Jeremy Harrison said that we will be unable to make a direct link between carbon tax and job loss.

There appears to be studies with conflicting outcomes, signaling that it may be too early to measure the actual impact of the tax.

In addition to significant impacts on provincial and national GDP, a 2018 study from the University of Calgary suggests that an average Saskatchewan household would have to pay more than $1,000 each year for the carbon tax.

Yet, in an article released by Global News in 2019, the average household cost was found to be much less than originally projected, with Saskatchewan residents paying roughly $400.

Saskatchewan’s provincial parties are opposed to the Liberal party’s carbon tax, with Premiere Scott Moe still rallying against the plan.

Efforts have been made to change Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s stance on the topic, even after the law has come into effect. Seven months later, Moe continues to challenge the carbon tax in court, maintaining that it is ineffective.

Saskatchewan is also concerned about the tax’s impact on the agricultural sector.

What about the farmers who have not managed to finish their harvest or are perhaps dealing with wet crops?

The added carbon tax can

be very stressful on top of a bad harvest season. It is not realistic for farmers to pay extravagant amount of tax for drying the grain. In the past, Ryan Meili, Saskatchewan opposition leader, had even asked the PM for the removal of extra charges that farmers have been racking up on in their energy bills.

According to Dustin Duncan, the current carbon tax plan does not consider the requirements of industries that play a big role in driving our economy. He suggests a new plan that reduces emissions but also ensures that Saskatchewan industries remain competitive, further preserving the jobs of many Canadians.

While the federal government claimed in April that Canadians would receive more from the tax rebate than they would pay into the carbon tax, it may be too early into the program to effectively assess these figures.

In December 2019, the federal government decreased the carbon tax rebate in Saskatchewan and two other provinces who have not met federal requirements. Duncan expressed his disappointment and lack of surprise regarding the decrease.

While environmentalists consider it as a great opportunity to reduce pollution, companies consider it as a bane impacting the country’s economy. As Saskatchewan continues its legal journey of understanding the best ways to implement a carbon tax, the goal is to reduce the carbon pollution while minimally affecting the day-to-day lives of the residents of the province.

Reviving eugenics: The historical practice of “selective breeding” may have made a come back Unsettling incidents in 2019 show a surge in this dangerous pseudoscience.

ERIN MATTHEWS OPINIONS EDITOR

Eugenics is the practice of selecting “desirable” traits to “improve” the human species while “breeding out” traits that are deemed “undesirable.” The idea should seem disturbing to us in 2019, yet it appears that the spirit of eugenics is alive and well.

The headlines of the past year have been full of recent disturbing sterilization practices, new technologies and even hot takes that are all deeply rooted in the eugenics practices of old.

Eugenics was a burgeoning movement in the early 20th century as science and technology was beginning to flourish.

Much like the debunked practice of phrenology — a once herald technique of reading the bumps on a person’s skull to understand a person’s mind — eugenics is rooted in dubious premises and rife with racism, sexism and ableism.

The practice of eugenics has a long sordid history. The word itself is of Greek origin meaning “good birth,” and is an idea first brought forth by Plato around 378 BCE. It is something that went dormant until it was brought into the light of the late 19th century by the intellectual Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin.

After reading his cousin’s book, On the Origin of Species, Galton was convinced that the human race could be improved upon by selective breeding. He wrote a book about eugenics which became a great success in scientific circles. The movement

gained momentum in Europe and was welcomed with great enthusiasm in Canada and the United States.

American lawyer Madison Grant expanded on Galton’s theory with his book The Passing of the Great Race. The book was fairly influential in the 1920s and was read by many including Adolf Hitler. Hitler even wrote to Grant to applaud his work and is quoted as calling the book “my Bible.”

At the time, mental illness and “criminality” were thought to be a heritable trait. The movement turned its focus to people who were institutionalized or diagnosed with a mental illness or intellectual disabilities. The goal was simple: stop these “undesirable” traits from being passed on to another generation. Soon the practice of sterilization became common, a procedure performed either without consent or with coercion.

Eugenic societies were founded across Europe and North America as the movement flourished, but with the rise of Nazi Germany’s race hygiene practices, the support of eugenics began to falter. Eugenic societies and publications changed their tarnished names but the practice never stopped — it only went underground.

In April 2019, an alarming number of Indigenous women came forward with their experiences of forced sterilization — a practice that, shockingly, was legally enacted in some provinces during the height of the eugenics movement. The laws were eventually “phased out” in the early

1970s but the practice persisted.

The most recent was reportedly performed in Saskatchewan in 2018.

In the 1930s, the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta passed legislation that allowed for involuntary sterilization of people deemed to be “unfit,” but no eugenics laws were passed in Saskatchewan.

Yet our insidious relationship with eugenics continues on into the 21st century. It is a movement deeply rooted in our western history. Legendary premiere of Saskatchewan and father of medicare, Tommy Douglas, was a eugenicist.

His research focused on “The problem of subnormal family” and looked at population control. But it’s been suggested that a trip to Nazi Germany in the 1930s influenced Douglas to distance himself from practice and his decision to not implement an “offical” eugenics program.

The forced sterilization of Indigenous women in Canada echoes to a disturbing history of pseudoscience based on racism.

It may be the most stark incarnation of the liveliness of the movement.

Another disturbing iteration was a dating app from Harvard researcher George Church.

The app is designed to prevent matches between people with so-called “bad genes” with the ultimate goal to stop inherited genetic disorders from being passed down to their offspring.

While dating apps like Tinder, Bumble or Grindr are looking to set you up with a hook-up or perhaps a partner, this app is

Congratulations to Shawna Langer for her John H. McDonald Award for Graphic/Illustration of the Year

one that sets you up to mate — making it more of a breeding app than anything else. Its very premise is problematic.

George Church, the creator of this app, adamantly denies the vocal comparisons to the days of yore eugenics programs.

However, it should be noted that Church’s lab received funding from the now infamous Jeffery Epstein, who was interested in a eugenics like philosophy and spoke of his plans to “seed the human race” with his own DNA. In December 2019, The New York Times published an article that analyzed the IQ of Ashkenazi Jews. Bret Stephens wrote his pieces on the heritable genius of Jewish persons of Ashkenazi

decent, hinging his premis on a controversial 2005 paper from a researcher that has been celebrated by white supremacist groups.

Days later, NYT removed reference to the 2005 paper and left an editor’s note about the decision to do so. This article is an example of race science, the idea that there are inherent and measurable differences between races that make one superior to another. It is an idea which ultimately lends itself to practices like eugenics.

This past year has proven that eugenics is not a skeleton we have shoved in our historical closet, but it’s a living and breathing entity that is still flourishing in the shadows of today.
