Tony will be returning as club president for a second year after being acclaimed in this year’s club elections. Although many members of the chess club have gone onto pursue professional careers in the game, Tony plans on keeping chess as a hobby. His own dream is to become a physician specializing in neurosurgery. Tony and his dad don’t play chess together as frequently anymore but both remain avid chess players and their attachment to the game is stronger than ever. The intricacies and challenges of the game make it an entertaining past time. “It’s more like a battle of your strategy versus his strategy and in that battle you create sort of smaller strategies and in the end … it’s like you kind of participated in a real battle except it’s still a board game,” Tony says. ■■HAMZA TARIQ

King’s to hold referendum on BDS DRISHTI KATARIA NEWS EDITOR @DRISHTATGAZETTE King’s students will be voting whether or not to endorse the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement next year after a motion unanimously passed at the student council’s annual meeting on Saturday. Along with the referendum, the motion calls for an awareness campaign during the upcoming academic year to educate the King’s students about the BDS movement. According to the BDS movement’s website, the movement is a global campaign to put political and economic pressure on Israel with the main goal of getting Israel to withdraw from its occupation of Palestinian land. It also aims for full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel and respect for the right of return for Palestinian refugees. The referendum will be held along with the University Students’ Council and King’s University College Students’ Council presidential election in February 2017. Haya Alsakka, the French faculty representative who moved the motion, said the motion was well received by council, passing unanimously with some abstentions. She explained the motion passed through the KUCSC emphasized
the opportunity students would get to voice their opinions. Campaigns, presentations and workshops will be held to foster conversation and increase education about this issue. Although the BDS movement was condemned by the House of Commons in February, it has gained traction across university campuses in Ontario. Student unions at the University of Toronto, Carleton, McGill, Ryerson, McMaster and York University have joined the BDS movement. Nate Little, incoming KUCSC president, said although his position is neutral right now, he is in full support of the conversation that will be the result of this referendum. “In such a rigorous academic institute, I think it’s good to have these questions that are really going to push us to our limits rather than just limiting to the status quo,” he said. Little and Alsakka emphasized the importance of students participating in this referendum in order to voice their opinion and take a stance on this issue. “I’m in full support of every student conversation on every campus on every level, if the conversations are not happening I am against that, then we should be having more and more of these referendums,” Little said.

Alsakka added that King’s will be leading the conversation on this issue at Western. “Affiliate colleges are kind of a lost voice at Western and I think it’s one way to lead a conversation at King’s and influence a conversation at Western,” Alsakka said. ■
Western delegates aid in drafting OUSA policy papers KATIE LEAR NEWS EDITOR @KATIEATGAZETTE Western delegates contributed to three policy papers drafted by OUSA at the general assembly last weekend, including an interim policy on sexual violence and harassment. Lindsee Perkins, University Students’ Council vice-president external, played a key role in drafting the policy paper concerning student employment, where one of the central recommendations included abolishing unpaid internships. “The Western delegation was very much in favour of having a strong stance on unpaid internships, to remove those from the province completely because we believe that all students should be compensated for the work that they’re doing with any employer,” Perkins said. The paper ultimately became amended to read that the provincial government should help sectors that may have a more challenging time providing funds for their interns. An interim policy on sexual violence was also drafted at the assembly, which outlines the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance’s concerns and recommendations concerning the reporting structure of sexual assaults on campus. “It gives us the ability to join those conversations with the provincial government on these issues as the bill is moving forward,” Jamie Cleary, incoming USC vice-president, said. “Because we saw the government move so fast and we wanted to be in those conversations, we wrote a short-term policy which only has the principles, concerns and recommendations … but ultimately, the lobbying stays the same.” Also among the policies drafted were recommendations on how to make campuses more accessible
to students with disabilities and improvements to the e-campus online learning program released by the provincial government. The policies are currently being finalized by OUSA staff in collaboration with the student authors and will be released in the coming weeks. “Once these papers are published, it is a full stance that OUSA takes,” Cleary said. “So whether or not it’s myself as an incoming steering committee member going to the provincial government and taking those stances or OUSA’s full-time staff that do work in Toronto and are
lobbying on a more regular basis … it is now an official stance of OUSA and then we can start lobbying on these issues.”
It gives us the ability to join those conversations with the provincial government on these issues as the bill is moving forward JAMIE CLEARY INCOMING USC VICE-PRESIDENT

Covering a tumultuous year in federal politics AMY O’KRUK NEWS EDITOR @AMYATGAZETTE Seventy-eight campaign days, five televised debates, eight coffees a day and “I’m not going to tell you how much wine.” That’s how CBC’s host of Power & Politics Rosemary Barton summed up the 2015 Canadian federal election. Barton visited Western last Thursday to deliver this year’s Clissold lecture. Her speech was called “Power & Politics: Covering a Tumultuous Year in Canadian Politics,” but it was a chaotic time for Barton behind-the-scenes, too. “It was a tumultuous year for me personally and professionally,” Barton said. “Last June, I was a national reporter on Parliament Hill and I hosted Power & Politics on Fridays, and then within 48 hours, I was the host of Power & Politics every day.” Barton was abruptly named interim host of the show after previous host, Evan Solomon, was fired from the CBC. Since then, many Canadians have applauded Barton for her tough questions, integrity and high-quality political journalism. “I had to make it my show,” said

Barton. “I was a little bit fearless in that pursuit and I just decided ‘well, this is it. I might as well just go for it,’ and it worked out.” Barton threw herself into Canada’s 2015 federal electionand in retrospect, Barton said wedge politics — using a political or social issue to polarize voters — contributed to the Liberals’ majority-government victory. She pointed out the niqab debate crushed the NDP’s supporter base, turning the elections into a twohorse race that didn’t end up benefitting the Conservatives. “What else happened during that long campaign was for the black ops of political parties to do a lot of going back through people’s
social media accounts and finding things,” said Barton, referencing Jerry Bance, the Conservative candidate caught on tape peeing in a mug, and who was swiftly booted from the race. “Vetting candidates is a whole new industry, and the lesson about social media is … the potential for you to be the author of your own demise is much greater,” Barton said. Social media gaffes and wedge politics aside, she says Canadians won during the elections: a 70-dayplus campaign allowed vigorous debate on wide-ranging topics, like student issues, senior issues, Saudi arms deals, foreign policy and the benefits of going into a
deficit versus not going into one. “Canadians got a lot more out of that campaign than they have in the past,” said Barton. “For that alone, I would say it was not only a tumultuous year but a good year. Not because of who won, but because of how it unfolded.” As for the future of Power and Politics: “I think you can be really tough on people, but if you lose sight of respecting them, their time and their position, then it becomes something else,” she said. “I feel very privileged that very busy people take time out of their lives to come and talk to me.” n
Q&A with Rosemary Barton AMY O’KRUK NEWS EDITOR @AMYATGAZETTE We asked CBC’s host of Power & Politics, Rosemary Barton, a few questions about covering Canadian politics and holding power to account. How did you develop your political sources as a Parliament Hill reporter before Power & Politics? It’s hard, it probably took me about 18 months from when I got to Ottawa to start building relationships with people. Everybody has a different way of doing it. The way I do it is I try and find things I have in common with sources, so if you’re an MP from Winnipeg? Great, let’s talk. Let’s hang out. There are also enough people up there that you can be a little bit choosy. You don’t have to have everybody as a source, you have to have people that you can trust and that can trust you. The longer you’re there, the more relationships or the better the relationships are and the more people are willing to talk to you. Also, buy people coffee, and then once you really like them, buy them lunch! How did you develop your tough interview style? It’s not easy to ask tough questions. I’ve thought about this question because I’ve been asked it before. I think it started in Quebec City because I was an anglophone reporter working in a French press gallery, so in order to get the politicians there to pay attention to me, I had to be pretty in your face
and just sort of go for it knowing that I was only going to get to ask one or two questions. So, that was a really good training ground for being bold and then I just continued because it works for me. What’s the biggest challenge about providing political analysis as events are unfolding? Don’t try and predict the future. Use your institutional knowledge, the stuff you’ve learned over time to inform what you’re seeing. Do lots of reading, but the one thing I think is really important to keep in mind, and I think I wish someone had told me this when I arrived at CBC in Ottawa, is don’t try and analyze people’s motivation because you don’t really know why someone is doing what they’re doing. Stay away from trying to figure out why they’re doing it and try and talk about the context in which it’s happening instead. More young Canadians voted in the last federal election than the previous ones, why do you think more people were interested in the elections last time around? I think that there was this overwhelming desire for change and I think that young Canadians felt that and tapped into that. Maybe they were engaged by the candidates, I don’t know. Maybe it was the length of the campaign, too, it gave people more time to get engaged and that, for me, was one of the most encouraging things. When I saw the turnout numbers, I thought ‘oh God, they
really showed up!” ... It was good to see anybody show up to vote, frankly. At the university level, do you think that campus media is important? Yes, for sure, and especially at a campus like this where there’s a lot of money being spent, there’s a lot of power and influence and there’s a lot of decisions being made. I think that you’re paying these people, it’s actually your money or your debt, so you need to hold them to account and make sure they’re making the best decisions for the campus and for students. The CBC just announced it will ban the use of pseudonyms for readers commenting on stories on the CBC.ca website, what do you think about that? I like it. I have a lot of Twitter followers. I tweet a lot and I’m on social media a lot. There’s a lot of people that get away with saying a lot of mean crap to me and I don’t know who they are. They can say anything they want and I’m okay with that. I’m a public person. I’m exposed, I made that decision and I’m aware of what that means, but I think it takes a lot more courage to say something with your name and face attached to it. If you really have a valid point to debate, then you should be able to make that with your name and face. If it’s just a personal attack, then it’s pretty easy to hide behind things. So that’s great, good job CBC! n

Dystopia never looked so good
RICHARD JOSEPH ARTS & LIFE EDITOR @RJATGAZETTE Centennial Hall was overflowing with an enthusiastic crowd of around 1200 people this past Saturday for the 18th annual charity fashion show by the Canadian Asian International Student’s Association, dubbed Paragon. This year, the show donated $30,000 to the personalized medicine initiative at the Children’s Health Foundation. Dr. Richard Kim took the stage to talk about his work, describing his goal of “real-world delivery of personalized medicine …Using the latest in genomics technology.” The show was divided into five “sectors,” each corresponding to a stage in the revolutionary narrative as well as the category of clothing. “Alpha” opened with a video

projection of the Paragon leader, played by Kate Wang, assuring the brainwashed citizens in a distorted voice that all was well. One citizen, however, is not convinced — in the crowd of blindfolded, white-clad citizens, the Rebel (Christine Stebel) opens her eyes to the corruption around her. Hip Hop Western and the Western Ontario Organization of Filipinos (WOOF), dressed in longline mesh tops and black sweats, fit in well with the aesthetic. Stebel and Wang were both skilled, tenacious dancers, and they had an intense, shifting dynamic between them. Wang, in a flowing black dress, had a sort of dominatrix aura about her; she twirls a wooden rod with the air of a dictator, equal parts grace and brutality, striking down the Rebel and throwing her behind bars on-stage. Stebel, dressed in white form-fitting
clothing, transitioned from delicate victim to a powerful, angelic force throughout the show. Swimwear took the stage with an eye-catching array of patterns and colours, with elaborate onepiece and two-piece bikinis for the women. The men strutted to the front following the dancing to showcase their neutral-coloured shorts, flexing and freezing like chic Greek marble sculptures. The semiformal section was the most diverse, with a variety of floral shirts on display as well as dresses and slips in elaborate lace patterns. In an interesting production choice, Isaac Eng played violin on stage to Emeli Sande’s invigorating Read All About It. The lingerie models walked out to raucous cheering and applause, as always. Black lace reigned supreme for the ladies, holding their own and
dancing with incredible dexterity in pin-point heels. The men were equally well-received in (very) fitted black boxer briefs, impressing the crowd with an impromptu workout routine of one-handed push-ups. Beautifully fitted suits graced the stage during the formal section, with admirable variety — bowties and pocket squares were welcome flashes of colour. The women wore long, flowing black dresses and the show transitioned into something like a ballroom dance, all elegance and high society. Paragon ended with an unabashed, elegant homage to the Bond films. Eng returned to stage to accompany the strains of Sam Smith’s Writing on the Wall, the theme of Spectre, while abstract ink-in-water graphics played on the projector. The dystopian theme introduced
an odd paradigm. It limited the range of colours and styles, for the most part, to a sort of minimalist greyscale aesthetic, but it also opened the door for experimentation and innovation. The show wasn’t the most colourful and it wasn’t as chock-full of acrobatics as last year, but that was part of the appeal; it was a story of a cold future and an age-old struggle. Ultimately, though, the show’s appeal came from the attitude of the models. There was a sense of camaraderie backstage that translated onto the stage. Each model had a brief flair when they strutted up to the front; a sultry sway and wink, a selfie with the audience — one model even had a pizza handed to him from the audience. A show for charity, with CAISA’s propensity for the spectacular and happy models. What more could you ask for? n

Despite early finals exit, Mustangs exceeded expectations NATHAN KANTER DIGITAL MANAGING EDITOR @NATHANATGAZETTE HALIFAX — Expectations for the men’s hockey season this past October were not very high. At least, not compared to Mustang teams of the past. In 2011-12, Western began the season ranked sixth in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport top-10 poll. In 2012-13, sixth again. In 2013-14, third. This year, they didn’t begin the season in the top 10 at all. And yet, they found themselves playing this past weekend in the University Cup this for a chance at a national championship. Despite a heartbreaking overtime loss to the second-ranked Université du Québec à Trois-Rivière Patriotes in the Queen’s Cup, Western had bought themselves a ticket to the nationals for the first time since 2012. “The one thing I can tell you is that we never lost faith,” said Mustangs defenceman Stephen Gaskin. “The whole way through we knew the type of team we had and that we could compete at a high level and we proved it.” Unfortunately for the Mustangs, those comments came after they were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the University Cup on March 18 after they drew the short end of the stick and had to face arguably the best team in the country: the University of New Brunswick Varsity Reds. UNB was the top-ranked team in the CIS top-10 poll for the last five consecutive weeks of the season. But even more impressive is the fact that heading into the tournament, UNB had won four nationals championships in the past nine years. In their Atlantic University Sport championship, UNB was upset by the St. Francis Xavier X-Men, resulting in a seeding of fifth for the nationals. Western’s loss in the Queen’s Cup meant they were ranked fourth instead of first, so they drew the Reds. The results of Friday’s quarter-final were not pretty: UNB crushed Western 5–1, outshooting them 45–15. “We played a great team today, definitely the best team we’ve faced this year,” said Mustangs head coach Clarke Singer following the loss. “Once they got a couple [of] goals, we sagged a little bit and it was tough getting our game back against a really good team. It’s almost like they smelled blood a little bit in the water – they’re circling, circling, circling, ready to go.”
But Gaskin’s comments after the loss ring true, as very few people expected Western to make it to nationals. The Mustangs were the only team in the eight-team tournament with zero conference all-stars. Not one of their players ranked in the top-50 in CIS scoring in the regular season and their goaltenders combined for an average .910 save percentage — 11th in the country. So how did they make it? Both Singer and the three seniors – David Corrente, Shaun Furlong and Stephen Gaskin – who had to talk to the media following their devastating loss on Friday said the same thing: it was hard work and resilience all season long that got Western to the nationals. “Credit to our leaders for the type of culture they’ve established in our dressing room,” Singer said. “I’m proud of our guys. They worked hard right until the final buzzer. We’ve had an outstanding year and lost to a good hockey team.” Corrente, the team captain, will be graduating this year and said it was a dream to make it to nationals. “Not many people maybe gave us a chance at the beginning of this year, seeing our team coming in, to make it this far, so I’m very proud of the guys,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to make it here to this point and play in a national tournament ... so I’m extremely happy. Again, proud of the guys.” Singer pointed out Western was facing elimination in two separate playoff series, yet they found a way to win. The amount of injuries the team faced at the beginning of the year also speaks to the character of this team. But character and hard work can only get you so far — that much was clear this past weekend. Perhaps it hurts a little less that UNB went on to win the championship, their fifth in the last 10 years. Perhaps it doesn’t. Above all, this year’s results are a learning experience for Western’s younger players. “You have to be here and experience everything that goes on with being at the nationals and a long playoff run – the hills and the valleys – to become a better team,” Singer said. “Hopefully we take from this experience, the good and the bad, and we learn from it and come back a stronger group next year.” For those that will return next year — a group that includes most of Western’s top scorers — that is true. But for Corrente, Gaskin, Furlong and all the other graduating players, this past weekend was one thing: bittersweet. n

Lack of offence Mustangs’ undoing at nationals
SERENA QUINN SPORTS EDITOR @SERENASATGAZETTE
JENNY JAY GAZETTE
CALGARY — A garbage goal; it’s not pretty. It's quick, sloppy and usually the result of a desperate scramble in front of the net. But there's one great thing about a garbage goal: it often wins you games. Unfortunately for the Mustangs, it was the St. Mary’s Huskies and the Calgary Dinos that buckled down and drove Western’s net this weekend at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championship tournament in Calgary. The Mustangs played their first game of the tournament on Thursday against the Huskies. Despite having a number of scoring opportunities, the game remained scoreless until the opening of the third period when Huskies forward Caitlyn Schell picked up the puck in front of Western’s net and notched the lone goal. While the Mustangs battled to put themselves back into the game, they were unable to get any pucks past St. Mary’s goaltender Rebecca Clark before the clock ran down. And just like that, Western lost the opportunity to defend their CIS banner. They were left to fight through the consolation semifinal for the chance to claim fifth place at best. Three consecutive scoreless periods for the Mustangs was their kryptonite and the holes in Western’s offence continued into their second game against the Dinos on Saturday morning. "It was an area of concern knowing we weren’t producing a lot up front in the last couple of games,” Mustangs associate coach Kelly Paton said. “We tried to put some spark in our girls [but] it just wasn’t our game for scoring.” A scoreless first period on Saturday morning had fans wondering if the 2015 CIS champions would be completely shut out this time around. Despite out shooting the Dinos for the majority of the game, the Mustangs once again suffered because of their inability to finish. While Western was being stopped on every scoring opportunity they created, the Dinos were more successful, as they worried about scoring first and style later. In fact, it was the host team’s use of a garbage goal in the first part of the third frame that put some distance between the Dinos and the Mustangs. This helped Calgary overpower the Mustangs 3-1 in the CIS consolation semifinal game on Saturday. Dinos forward Iya Gavrilova was the beneficiary of a scramble in front of Western’s net and potted home the goal that would stand as the game-winner. Although Western goalie
Kelly Campbell made the initial save, the rebound bounced the puck into the scrum of Western forwards and Calgary defenders. When the puck got loose, Gavrilova found it on her stick and put it in to the corner of Campbell’s net. It was these types of in tight chances that Western failed to generate over the course of the tournament. "I think overall as a team we needed to have more traffic in the front,” Paton said. “We have to be okay with some of the garbage goals as we call them or the rebounds or deflections.” There is no denying that the Mustangs have a very talented roster. Campbell was named Western’s Female Athlete of the Year, an OUA first team all-star and a CIS first team all-Canadian in 2012-13. Campbell also led the CIS in total saves that year and placed third in the country and first in the OUA for save percentage with .961. Along with Campbell, Katelyn Gosling is an impactful player for the Mustangs. Gosling brings international experience to the team as she’s competed for team Canada in the 2015 Winter Universiade in Spain where she helped lead the team to a silver medal and more recently was named to team Canada’s roster for the 2016 Nations Cup in Füssen, Germany. The list of talented and seasoned Mustangs players goes on and on, but ultimately their inability to get the puck to the net by whatever means necessary was their downfall. The second loss to the Dinos marked the end of the season for the Mustangs. It also marked the end of a number of intercollegiate careers for a number of senior Mustang players such as Campbell and Gosling, but also their fellow teammates Kendra Broad, Brittany Clapham and Stacey Scott. The Mustangs will now look to the future of their program as they look to continue to recruit outstanding athletes and make some changes to their coaching staff for next season. Despite losing a number of talented seniors, including players who have occupied strong leadership roles on the team, the Mustangs are guaranteed to return to the CIS championship tournament in two years time, as they host the tournament in London, Ont. in March of 2018. With an automatic spot in the CIS championships, the Mustangs will have another shot at claiming the national banner, although the focus will of course be to see that opportunity in next years CIS championship tournament as well, which is being hosted by Queen’s. n

My alternative spring break How one Western student traveled to Trinidad and Tobago expecting eco conservation and left with a completely different experience ANNIE RUETER GAZETTE STAFF @GAZETTECULTURE Looking out the window of the plane, I was thrilled to see blue waters and palm trees welcoming me to Trinidad. The 30°C weather was a welcome change from the -24°C temperatures in Toronto. Our Trinidad and Tobago Alternative Spring Break team disembarked and excitedly awaited our driver at Piarco International Airport while changing into flip flops and tossing on hats. Our adventure was about to begin, but the experience was not what we expected. Soca music blasted on the bus while our team of 12 students and two Western staff hurled along the opposite side of the road through hilly regions toward the capitol, Port of Spain. Our first night in Trinidad was in the neighbourhood of St. Ann’s, just outside Port of Spain. A colourful garden flanked the walkway into Samise Villa where we were greeted by the couple that operate the villa, Sam and Denise. I dragged my massive suitcase up the stairway into the room shared with three other girls and bustled downstairs into the backyard filled with mango trees for our first dinner in Trinidad. Before venturing for a night walk into the city centre, Denise advised the group to have the boys walk at either end of the group and handed us a cellphone to use in the event of an emergency. The tone had shifted from excitement to apprehension. Was this area safe for tourists? Would we receive negative attention? With these thoughts in the back of our minds, we began to walk toward the post-Carnival celebration Denise had described. Where the group’s fears were realized. Heads of locals turned left and right, we were looked up and down, and cars honked. Frankly, we were a massive group of lost-looking white people in an area outside the main tourist district. People were not overly friendly, nor were they threatening in any way. Our group had an unrealistic expectation that we would feel instantly comfortable in a new culture. Our nightly debrief helped us acknowledge the necessary transition period and look to our next day with a more open mindset. This experience was the first of many that surprised our group. After a delicious breakfast of local bananas, homemade bake — a kind of bread — guava jam, cheese and cooked sausage with peppers, we zipped our suitcases and waited for Mrs. Beulah, the Amizade site director in Matelot and founder of Dorcas Women’s Group, to arrive. Mrs. Beulah was instantly welcoming and excited to meet “the first Canadian group” of students who were coming to Matelot for service work. Again, we loaded our baggage onto a bus and listened to soca fill the air. We had a four-hour drive ahead of us; Matelot is considered one of the more remote areas of Trinidad and is relatively inaccessible. The drive was broken up by roadside stops at a grocery store, eating “doubles” — a street food — and a stop at a lookout point in the northern village of Toco. The scenery grew increasingly beautiful — we drove along the coast and through rainforest to reach our destination. Upon arriving in Matelot, we settled into various home stays and met the Dorcas Women’s Group, who drive much of the community activity in Matelot. Our understanding of what Dorcas did was different from
the reality. Due to a miscommunication between Amizade and Dorcas, we thought Dorcas served the community in terms of eco-tourism and sea turtle conservation. Rather, their focus is youth empowerment and community engagement. Our service contribution was to help in the initial stages of construction for a tutoring centre. I had maybe used a drill twice in my life prior to this experience. I was skeptical, to say the least. After encountering unexpected red tape that slowed the permit process of construction, our group focused on embracing the environment around us while waiting for the issue to be resolved. A definite highlight of this time was a hike through a dense rainforest estate owned by a man named Mr. Jose, who was born and raised in Matelot. Mr. Jose, who was 70, approached our group at the main house wielding a machete, high green hunting boots, navy cotton pants and a jersey-style shirt. As we hiked toward the rainforest, Mr. Jose stopped. With the machete just inches away from his fingers, he expertly chopped and rotated coconuts and handed them out to the group to try. Upon entering his five-acre rainforest estate, we were surrounded by lush vegetation and fruit, including coffee and cocoa beans, pomerac fruit, cocoa pods, oranges and various spices and herbs — all of which we sampled along our hike. This hike was the element of eco-tourism that I had so hoped for. While still waiting for red tape issues to be cleared, we painted the inside of a nap room in the local preschool, but I wondered if this was a make-work project designed to keep us busy while in Matelot. Was what we were doing really impactful? These were questions running through my head while I painted a cartoon Dora the Explorer holding a Trinidad flag in one hand and a Canadian flag in the other. But regardless of the lack of service, we got to know Matelot quite intimately within the time we were there. On our daily walk from our homestay by the river to the main house, we exchanged friendly hellos with children walking to school and with other people passing by. We became friends with the three female guides assigned to our group who took us to various activities and sights within Matelot. We met the fishermen and understood what a key role they play in the town. Although I personally felt unfulfilled by the lack of service, I realize that a service-learning trip is not always defined by the service but rather by the connections made with people and developing ongoing relationships. Rather than focus in on what we were unable to accomplish during our time in Matelot, we discussed how to bring programs into Matelot that focus on youth empowerment and engagement. By the end of the week, we had accomplished one full day of construction and painted the primary school’s nap room. Although we had anticipated leaving a greater physical impact on the community, we left the final dinner at the community centre feeling connected to Matelot. We had all broadened our global perspective and learned how to accept the discrepancy between expectations and reality. The warm weather and warmer personalities we met will not be forgotten. n

SPHR needs answers Re: police investigating intimidation of israeli apartheid week activists TO THE EDITOR: This is a letter I had sent to President of University Students’ Council of Western Sophie Helpard last week. As I have yet to receive a response even after follow up I feel it is time for others to join this discussion. On February 29 in the University Community Centre Atrium, the Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights at UWO President, Randa Albayoumi, was encircled and shouted down by a group of as many as 17 men. This intimidation was not able to be broken up until campus police were called to the scene. Despite the severity of this event the USC has remained silent. This silence has become even more damning as the USC has recently been prioritizing Women in Leadership, when it is clear they have no intention of supporting or protecting women in leadership of political movements on campus. I encourage everyone who has been watching these events unfold to start emailing Sophie Helpard your thoughts on the matter, and as stated in the email — it’s time to open the floodgates: Hello Sophie, I am writing to you in regards to the recent events that took place at SPHR’s Atrium Day and the subsequent responses, which have been received from the student body. I am no longer an executive on SPHR but had been for several years and with this latest incident, I believe we have seen the least helpful response from the USC regarding the safety of SPHR executives and members. First of all, I would like to highlight that while this incident may be new to you, it has been a persistent problem at Western University. In the past SPHR executives (nearly all of which have been women) have been intimidated, stalked, filmed without our consent, physically harassed and even spit on. There have been varying levels of response from the USC regarding these issues over the years, but I assure you this year there has been a distinctive silence from the USC. Since the incident SPHR has received an outpouring of support from the student body. Executives from other clubs have offered their condolences, the Gazette and CHRW have given us space to discuss the issue at length and the SPHR Facebook page has
been inundated with support from fellow students. However, everyone is asking the same question: what is going to come of this? Based on the response so far, it is my fear that we are going to have to tell them nothing. I understand you have been receiving messages from students in the Arab Student Association. As another group on campus who regularly experiences discrimination and racism, they are very upset by the incident. However, your responses to them have been unsatisfactory. You have stated that the USC were in fact there to support SPHR on the day in question and they even called campus police, when in fact all of this was done at my request and would not have occurred had I not been present that day. You have stated that Israel on Campus has “sent their regrets to members of SPHR,” when in fact no one in SPHR has seen anything of the sort. You have also stated that the USC has no knowledge of the involvement of IOC members, which conflicts with all witness testimony. I know in years past I have personally been dragged into the USC office to atone for much less than this. At this point, I feel it is important to tell you that current SPHR executives are doing you a favour and are essentially holding back the floodgates for you. If this had occurred during a year when I was an executive, I assure you that would not be the case. Students are very angry about what has taken place on their campus, in particular students whose marginalization and abuse on Western’s campus has gone ignored for years now. To continue to allow this intimidation and harassment on campus with impunity would not be wise. What students are seeing from the outside is that no one has been punished for these actions, the USC has not made any kind of formal condemnation of what took place, SPHR members are still unsafe on their campus while these people are able to walk free, the tactics of physically intimidating a female student have been reinforced and no one (especially IOC) has even had to do as much as a public apology. If things continue like this, I doubt that SPHR will be able to hold back the floodgates for long. MARIE RIOUX POLITICAL SCIENCE IV
The Gazette asked: Have you ever used the phone? Do you see value in them?
CHANDRIKA MANJUNATH MEDICAL SCIENCE/POLITICAL IV Hasn’t used the phones. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them being used at my four years here at Western. I’m a tour guide, we point them out to people and think they’re a good idea. I’ve also been asked if we have them so people obviously do know about them. Just because something is not used doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea.”

Emergency light system needs work Breaking Brad
BRADLEY METLIN OPINIONS EDITOR @BRADATGAZETTE Western has a beautiful campus. Every time I walk across the University Drive bridge and see UC Hill, this becomes particularly evident. Not only is our campus aesthetically breathtaking but I’ve always considered it to be a relatively safe place. Walking late at night, I have a sense of safety on Western’s campus that is unparalleled to anywhere else I’ve been. Of course, nothing has ever happened to compromise this sense of security. If a student walks through campus late at night and something does happen — what support do they have? Well, if your cellphone is dead, you better hope that you are in a public place and can shout loudly. Most people would likely point to the code blue emergency light system that has 22 phones across campus, which will directly connect anyone to emergency services. While not as exciting as blue light sales at K-Mart, these blue lights are undeniably valuable to have on campus... right? Director of Campus Police John Carson explained, “if [someone requires] emergency help, whether they’re carrying a telephone on them or not, they have the ability to go to an emergency phone and request assistance.”
I was recently talking to a friend who said she noticed one of the emergency phones on campus appeared to be out of order. When she contacted several people about the problem, they all gave her a uniform answer: “We’ll look into it.” The sentiment, she described, was these blue lights did not seem to be a priority. With the rise of cellphone usage and accessibly, many just simply do not see value in the emergency phone system. I stumbled upon an editorial board from the Daily Iowan that eviscerated any value of blue light phones. They argued the phones are rarely used and resources should be used more effectively — for example, by hiring security guards for campuses. Despite their infrequent use, the benefits of the phones are important. They’re reliable and will not have their batteries drained like cellphones. If someone uses one, their location is known, whereas pinpointing a cellphone can be a little more sketchy. Also, they provide a sense of safety for those on campus — even if they’re not being used a lot, it’s comforting to know that safeguard exists. The peace of mind that’s established with the blue lights is there because they are visible throughout campus — but at Western, they’re not. When I toured Queen’s in grade 12, I remember the blue lights being so prominent that from one emergency phone station, at least another could be seen. Western does not have an extensive system like this in place. Compare Western’s map of the blue lights to Queen’s. If I were a student at Queen’s, I would know that the system was
comprehensive enough to help me. At Western, however, there are enough blue lights for Western to publicize the system — but I wonder if the infrequency of the phones throughout campus is truly beneficial. But are some areas of campus simply prioritized over the other? Carson disagreed. “I wouldn’t suggest one area is prioritized over the other. When you look at the overall map of the campus and you look at the placement of the blue lights, I think you’ll find that they’re fairly strategic,” he said. With no lights along University Drive from Talbot to the main gates, where many students make their way home, are these “strategic” decisions flawed? Do we need more lights? Eight years ago, this issue came up during the University Students’ Council presidential election, where none of the candidates could peg the cost of installing one blue light station. It was $19,000, by the way. That cost could hardly be seen as extravagant for creating a system that encourages on-campus safety. I feel safe on campus because I’ve never had that security taken away, but in the event that I am in need of help, I want to know there’s something in place. At Western, I would feel better if there were more blue lights. Sure, some might say they are relatively obsolete with cellphones but I believe their ultimate reliability and power as a deterrent are valuable. If a student walks home late at night, it’s my hope they’ll always be safe — or at least have an easy way to get help. n

PRAJA VAIKUNTHARAJN HEALTH STUDIES I Hasn’t used the phones. “If something were to happen and I was walking alone, for example from the UCC or if my phone was dead. I learned about them on one of the summer tours. I walked past one everyday around Saugeen.”
LISA MOSZCZYNSKI MEDICAL SCIENCE III Hasn’t used the phones. “It’s comforting to know that they’re there in case my phone dies. I’ve never seen anyone use them. I guess [they’re valuable.] During O-Week from the perspective of frosh being here for the first time, it’s good to have that safety net.”

AMY SKODAK GAZETTE STAFF @GAZETTECULTURE The McIntosh Gallery has opened its doors to two new exhibitions: Kim Moodie: Any Dream Will Do, curated by James Patten and Leading the Way: Early Canadian Women Artists, curated by Catherine Elliot Shaw. While the exhibitions are disassociated from one another, they each reflect on the importance of artist identity throughout the creative process. Any Dream Will Do showcases London-based artist Kim Moodie’s
first use of photography and video, including a series of large prints entitled Hair Diaries. Completed over four years, this part of his exhibition transforms Moodie from artist into subject, creatively incorporating his long grey hair into surprising self-portraits. “It’s a discussion, in some ways, of the hair representing aging and experience and time,” Moodie says. He explains the various photographs and videos are meant to suggest a dichotomy between himself and his role models, while acknowledging that people are evaluated based on
the roles they fit into according to society. Moodie hopes his audience will feel engaged by his work, as it’s meant to communicate the importance of interactions with people in order to find one’s place in the world. “Each one of these people have a significance to me,” he says about his large photographs. “But I want people to figure that out or think about that themselves.” Although Moodie is used to being the centre of attention as a visual arts professor at Western University,

he admits to spending most of his time alone in his studio, making this particular project especially unnerving for him. “Doing this, I had to overcome certain inhibitions I had about being shy,” he says. “I had to get past how silly I felt sometimes and whether I was being too self-indulgent.” Overall, Moodie is satisfied with his work and the experiential process it took to create. “While I’m doing it, I’m sort of analyzing behaviours and preconceptions of myself,” he says. “It’s interesting; it’s actually a very thoughtful process. You can really sort of think, ‘What do I represent and how does that come across to people and is that what I want?’.” Moodie also uses his more familiar drawing and painting techniques to create large, colourful works. His bold use of textile is meant to represent industry, manufacturing and the way both have begun to shape our cultural identity, but he stimulates the natural world as well by his use of floral and animalistic subject matter. “There’s regularity in the patterns but there’s also this sort of free, more intuitive gesture in the lines,” Moodie explains. “And that’s combining both those elements and trying to make commentary on it.” Correspondingly, Shaw’s curated show, Leading the Way: Early Canadian Women Artists, speaks to identity as well, but through a feminine lens. The exhibition consists of empowering female artists of the late 19th to early 20th century who were able to identify themselves as creative professionals despite enormous adversity.

Shaw says the idea for this exhibition grew from wanting to address the imbalance of female representation within the gallery’s own collection. Once they were able to increase the ratio, they wanted to celebrate it. Each of the exhibited works have been acquired by the galley through donations and purchases. “There are 13 women who are represented in the exhibition,” Shaw says. “They each have overcome difficulties, but also they have been role models in a lot of different ways.” Shaw says each painting is paired with “extended labels” to give more information about the artist. For her, this project has been a “labour of love.” She has learnt a lot and is moved by the gifts and mentorship these historical painters provide. Her excitement about what this exhibit means to the education of women in the art world is evident. “They’re here in perpetuity and in trust for future generations,” she says. “They will form the nucleus of a study and research database, really, for people who want to know more about these women.” Both exhibitions speak to the importance of one’s identity in culture and how the self is perceived. The result is a thought provoking collection of work. Kim Moodie: Any Dream Will Do and Catherine Elliot Shaw›s Leading the Way: Early Canadian Women Artists will be on display at the McIntosh Gallery until May 14. n

Future Desserts a tasty treat SAMAH ALI ARTS & LIFE EDITOR @SAMAHATGAZETTE Among the evocative pieces installed in the Visual Arts Centre Artlab Gallery, Carina Wharton’s oil painting exudes the individualism of the exhibit. The fourth-year studio art student was thrilled to see her work debuted in the studio art practicum class show, Future Desserts. Engaging different forms of work, the exhibit opened on Friday and will continue until April 6. “[Artlab] makes you feel like your four years were worth it and this is kind of the validation of it,” Wharton says while standing beside her painting. The gallery features works from 18 fourth-year students and incorporates different art forms, objects and mediums across the board. The artists leave a personal flare to identify each individual work from another while collaborating to make the room a colourful masterpiece that works together and on its own. Some of the standout pieces of the gallery are Danny Welsh’s striking stuffed animal swing that welcomes patrons into Artlab, Yara El Safi’s triggering black house marking the longitude and latitude of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and Wharton’s oil painting on female sexuality. Wharton’s piece deals with questions of female sexual ideals and incorporates different features in the women’s bodies to illustrate the different ethnicities that abide by these norms when trying to conform to popular culture. Wharton also speaks about the dangers that come when ideals become
something we constantly look up to. She uses different pigmented bodies with horse heads to offer a different perspective of a more confident sexuality. “With the horses, I see them as bodies that are ambiguous — it doesn’t necessarily have to be a woman or man or a certain ethnicity,” says Wharton. “It wasn’t supposed to indicate a specific race but the aggressiveness and calm interactions between the characters is more how I saw them interacting
with one another.” Seeing her work come alive at the opening was encouraging, and Wharton plans on pursuing more show opportunities in the future after graduating. Future Desserts offers a diverse selection of work for all art lovers and shows what’s in store from future artists. The show is individualistic and vibrant, welcoming to newcomers and art aficionados — a must-see while in Artlab. n
