designers
Mark
McGrath and Kyle MacDonald created the website specifically for
Ontario university and college students who are offering rides or
need a lift.
“I found a lot of people were
travelling at the same time but no
one was sharing a ride,” said MacDonald, who is finishing high
school and co-founded Campuslifts.ca with McGrath, a part-time
university student.
“[Students] log onto the website
and sign up using their university
e-mail specifically so that people
other than students can’t use the
service,” MacDonald said.
“Students can create a profile, if
they wish, with a picture and additional information.”
After creating an account, students can choose their date of
departure,
destination
and
whether they’re looking for a oneway or round-trip ride. Students
are then matched with other students who have posted rides for
that day, MacDonald said.
The site recommends students
accepting rides share gas costs or
offer to buy snacks to pay for the
ride.
CampusLifts promotes its services as financially affordable, environmentally friendly, safe and fun.
Elgin Austen, director of Campus Community Police Services,
expressed concerns about the program.
“It may work fairly well but I can
see it would be used by certain
individuals with particular intentions,” he said.
“It has to come with a degree
of caution. There are some vulnerabilities attached to this kind

Saint Patrick’s Day shenanigans
kept police busy last weekend as
London and campus police dealt
with a stabbing, flying liquor bottles and students engaging in “outof-control behaviour.”
Around 3:15 a.m. Sunday
morning London Police Service
was called to 5 Jacksway Cres.
where two males were stabbed
with a knife in the face and head
area.
Both were transported to hospital with undetermined injuries.
According to LPS media relations
officer Amanda Pfeffer, police are
looking for three or four suspects
who left the area in a dark blue,
black or grey vehicle.
Campus Community Police Services director Elgin Austen reported many phone calls regarding
liquor license violations Saturday
night and early Sunday morning.
“We answered about 12 calls
just on campus that night,” Austen
said, adding two students were
taken to hospital from Perth Hall
after they were found unconscious
and non-responsive.
Austen said CCPS also responded to a couple of noisy, liquor-related events off campus.
“After a warning [the parties]
toned down and the students were
co-operative,” Austen said.
An assault occurred at Huron
University College, and CCPS
responded to a theft and seized a
funnel from Saugeen Maitland Hall.
“That funnel was definitely not
being used for the purpose of pouring gas into a vehicle,” Austen said.
Finally, CCPS responded to
reports of people throwing bottles
at vehicles driving along Richmond
Street late Saturday night but didn’t catch anyone.
“This was just one 24-hour period and it was a very busy time for
us,” Austen said.
“The most disturbing incidents are when people are nonresponsive from overconsumption,” he said. “We’re not here to
stop people from having fun, but
individuals need to have a plan
about how much they’re going to
drink, because once they go
unconscious they may or may not
wake up.”

Louie W. Mele, president of
McDonald’s Canada, spoke yesterday in a presentation given by
the Faculty of Health Sciences and
the Richard Ivey School of Business.
“I just wanted to tell you I’m not
a tycoon,” Mele said. “I’m just a fry
guy at McDonald’s. I’ve spent my
entire working career [with]
McDonald’s. It’s meant a world of
opportunity.
“Canada was the first market
outside the U.S. to introduce the
Golden Arches,” Mele said. “The
second-ever restaurant in Canada
was [on] Oxford Street here in London.
“In Canada, we have 1,400
restaurants serving two and a half
million people per day, and
employing 77,000 employees.”
Mele remarked on the trouble
his company has faced.
“In 2002 we pursued a very
aggressive restaurant expansion
strategy around the world,” he said.
“We weren’t paying enough attention to our existing customers. Customers’ tastes were changing but
we weren’t.
“McDonald’s menu items fit
into a balanced, active lifestyle,” he
added. “The nutritional value of
our foods compares favourably to
food that families eat at home.
“A Happy Meal-size chicken
McNuggets has less fat and calories, and more protein, than a
grilled cheese sandwich that you
would make at home.”
Mele discussed projects including Ronald McDonald Children’s
House.
“It’s an amazing place of compassion and love and it’ll change
you forever.”
Mele also stressed McDonald’s
importance as an employer of
Canadian youth.
“We face a very negative and
inaccurate stereotype that a
McDonald’s job is a low-paying,
dead-end job,” he said. “In many
countries around the world
McDonald’s is recognized as one of
the best companies to work for in
that country.”
Mele finished his speech by
answering audience questions. In
response to the suggestion
McDonald’s creates a conformist
culture he said, “We’re just a
restaurant. We offer choices to
people whether that’s conforming
or not.
“A lot of these [people in other
countries] want that American culture,” he added. “They feel they’ve
touched America by going into
McDonald’s.
Mele also discussed the company’s environmental policies,
including attempts to reduce its
packaging and use recycled materials.
“When someone sees a beer can
on the ground, nobody says, ‘Geez,
Molson is terrible.’ Yet you see a
McDonald’s cup on the ground —
why did you say, ‘Gosh, McDonald’s, why did you do that?’ It’s all
about the public being responsible
too.”

“I’m looking forward to taking
the portfolio to a place where it’s
never been before and enhancing

said.
The VP-campus issues position
has been reopened after candidate
Pedro Lopes was narrowly defeated in a vote of non-confidence.
Lopes, who is this year’s VPcampus issues, was suspended for
four weeks at last week’s Council
meeting. He received 52 non-confidence votes and 45 confidence
votes. Candidates need 50 per cent
plus one vote to obtain the position.
Nominations for VP-campus
issues are open to all undergraduate students until Thursday, March
22 at 4 p.m. The VP-campus issues
election takes place April 11.
According to the USC website,
the VP-campus issues’ responsibilities include: overseeing the implementation of effective campus
issues programming; keeping the
Board updated on students’ social
and cultural issues; acting as an
advocate for students, particularly
those who are members of historically disadvantaged social groups;
and evaluating USC policies and
practices to ensure they don’t contain unfair barriers and are consistent with the current state of affairs
on campus.

President-elect Tom Stevenson said
he hopes reopening the VP-campus

“I think there is a certain
amount of reluctance to run

that the position is reopened, I
think we’ll get a good number of

of program.”
Austen was particularly concerned about the degree of
anonymity associated with the
program, as passengers wouldn’t
know the driving record, safety of
the vehicle and intentions of the
driver while drivers would be
unaware of whom they’re giving
rides.
“[There would be] lots of ways
non-students could log on,”
Austen said.
“We used to have the University
Students’ Council ride board,” said
USC President Fab Dolan. “The
problems that arose were likely the
liability aspects.
“You didn’t know who was posting rides, so there was a risk of danger to our students.”
MacDonald says the program is
safe because students can access
the drivers’ and passengers’ profiles or search people’s Facebook
profiles to better understand
whom they’ll be meeting and
decrease risks.
Although the program was officially launched over the weekend,
Campuslifts.ca conducted a twoweek test in January at Queen’s
University, the University of
Guelph, the University of Ottawa
and Wilfrid Laurier University.
“The response has always been
good,” MacDonald said, though he
admitted he hasn’t spoken with the
administration at any schools
included on the website.

CampusLifts can
help those who
VP Lopes
use it wisely
treated
unfairly
by USC
A new online service, Campuslifts.ca, was launched last
weekend. The site helps students from Ontario colleges
and universities carpool to different locations. Students
needing or offering rides can view profiles and connect
with ride organizers.
While similar programs have received positive
response in Toronto and Quebec, there are safety concerns.
This service may provide an opportunity for several
“creepers” to sexually advance on passengers. Just
because they provide student profiles and e-mail
addresses doesn’t necessarily make the service safer; people can easily make up much of their information.
The program may be considered a form of hitchhiking, which was prevalent several decades ago but is rare
today because of its potential dangers.
Though safety is obviously important, people watching a little too much Prison Break may just be paranoid; it
isn’t likely criminals or rapists would use this service.
Similar to existing sites for Europe trips, which help
students needing a place to crash or people to travel with,
the student carpool service may be a good way to explore
and meet new people.
On the other hand, riding in a car with a stranger is different than staying in a house or hostel since the passenger doesn’t have immediate control. If something were to
happen, the passenger would have difficulty safely escaping the situation.
As far-fetched as such a scenario may seem, just
because it rarely happens doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
It may also help to have a rating system or friend list
available on the site to reduce anxiety. Recognizing one
of the drivers as a friend of a friend, the passenger may
feel more comfortable than they would riding with a complete stranger.
Safety aside, riding with a stranger for an extended
period can be an awkward experience if one or both parties are antisocial. However, travelling with friends or
meeting with the driver beforehand can ease the car trip’s
awkwardness.
Also, without the guarantee of fairness, ensuring proper payment and division of gas expenses could be problematic. Payment issues should therefore be resolved in
advance. Perhaps a discussion forum on the site would
make skeptics more confident about utilizing the service.
Overall, CampusLifts is a clever initiative thrifty students will likely pounce on. But anyone using the service
should remember discretion is crucial; if you’re smart
about the situation, CampusLifts should be useful for
you.

Re: “USC VP-campus issues Pedro Lopes
suspended for 4 weeks”
Mar. 16, 2007
To the Editor:
I would like to offer my congratulations
to Mr. Lopes for doing what most people cannot in admitting he suffers from
depression and is trying to tackle it.
Conversely, I would like to express my
extreme disappointment in the University Students’ Council, especially its
executive members, in its lack of compassion and support for a fellow member and Western student.
According to Health Canada, over 1.7
million people in our country are
believed to suffer from some form of
depression, clinical or otherwise. Everyone at some point in their life will be
affected by depression — their own or
someone else’s. It’s a disease and those
suffering from it deserve to be treated
with as much respect and compassion
as any other patient. Those who have
suffered from depression feel weak and
too embarrassed to seek help, which is
why over 80 per cent of depressed people don’t seek help.
Furthermore, the USC’s lack of confidence in Mr. Lopes reinforces the message that “personal problems” (namely,
mental health problems) are unacceptable in the public arena. University is a
confusing time of growth and self-discovery, but not every student has it so
easy. Sensory and mental overload can
take its toll and many students get lost
in their own minds.
The USC and Western should work
with students to ensure a smooth transition into the “real world.” Having suf-
fered from depression during my time at
Ivey and having friends and loved ones
in similar situations, I know how easy it
is to blame the victims of depression for
their behaviour and apparent inadequacies. It’s even easier to ask a victim of
depression, as Mr. Lopes mentions, to
work “on things that I was requested to
improve.”
Depression, like other diseases, is
both mental and physical and can be
very dangerous to those who feel they
are in it alone. The USC and Western
should work with students to facilitate
their return to health and clarity. If the
USC can’t support its own individual
members internally, how can we expect
it to support the interests of the student
body at large?

D’Arcy states, the military research conducted at Western is “not being motivated by patriotic fervour or to pitch into
the war effort.” Instead, the university’s
basis for accepting military contracts
has to do with the renting of the university’s facilities, faculty and students to
the highest private bidder.
The editorial frames those concerned
with the General Dynamics research
partnership as opposed to Western’s
“right to research,” playing directly into
neoliberal ideology promoted by the
university and its VP-research and international relations, Ted Hewitt. In fact,
Counter-Stryker and other concerned
groups want to see our university function as an incubator for ideas and
research.
What’s at issue is whether academic
research should be conducted for the
advancement of human welfare or in the
interests of private profit. It can be
argued Western’s corporate motivations
undermine rather than promote the
academic freedom of its faculty and students, since the availability or lack of
research funding serves to set the
research agenda of the university community. The introduction of private
funding into public universities sets
constraints on the scope of acceptable
research in such a way as to undermine
research conducted for the good of the
community.
The editorial also misrepresents
many of the facts surrounding the case
involving General Dynamics. The article
claims, “light-armour military vehicles
can just as easily be used for civilian rescue missions as they can for violence.” I
suppose they could be used for that reason. But they aren’t. The only situations
where you would require armoured
vehicles are ones in which people are
shooting at you. This typically only happens when you’re undertaking imperialist warfare.
It’s precisely because the university
shouldn’t place unwarranted restrictions
on research that we should be shocked
at the extent that research priorities of
this university are set by corporate CEO’s
and neoliberal ideologues.

STAY TUNED: Debra tries to (out) do Trevor on their comedy tour... Wednesday
ArtsEntertainment
Comedy writer offers 22 minutes of tips
Irwin Barker speaks
to humour writing
class at Western
By Michael Gregoris
Gazette Staff
“I once dated a psychologist for a
little while, but she kept getting
mad at me for what I was subconsciously thinking.”
Irwin Barker, a comedy writer
for CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes, spoke to Western’s humour
writing class last Wednesday.
The Winnipeg native is
renowned for his “clean” sense of
humour and has appeared on
CBC Radio One’s Madly Off In All
Direction; on numerous television comedy specials, including
Comedy Night in Canada and The
CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival;
and at the Just for Laughs International Comedy Festival.
“Humour is the socially
acceptable way of complaining,”
Barker said. “The role of humour
is quite odd. It helps us interact
with each other at various levels.
Humour helps us understand
what it is to be human.
“We become more aware of
the pluralism in society along
gender and ethnic lines.”
Barker believes comedy writers must be responsible about
their writing.
“There’s too much silliness
and callous mockery [in a lot of
humour],” he said. “It’s rather
insensitive and has no real merit.”
Barker also discussed dealing
with rejection and learning to
write different types of humour.
“One of the hardest things [as
a writer] is to put something out
and have someone tell you it’s not
funny,” Barker said. “That’s where
you walk away and start fresh.
“The true test of ability for a
comedy writer is, ‘Can I step out
of my own style of humour and
write something for a different
crowd?’”
Barker said working on a politically based comedy show can be
tricky.
“There are some times where
you have 80 per cent of the audience laughing, but the other 20
per cent are offended,” Barker
said. “You try and reduce [the
amount of offended people as]
much as you can, but you can
never please everyone.”
Barker’s style is described as
“an analytical and unexpected
approach to everyday life and
work.”
He also enjoys spoofing language, he added.
“Many people are uncomfortable with language, so to spin it in
a way that makes it humourous
and makes them feel comfortable
is my goal,” Barker said.
When asked, “What’s the difference between parody and
satire in, let’s say, Brian Mulroney?,” Barker simply replied:
“Parody would say he has a big
chin; satire would say he’s a
crook.”
DO YOU WANNA MAKE OUT? JUST PRESS THIS PICTURE TO YOUR MOUTH AND CLOSE YOUR EYES.
DO IT. Comedy writer Irwin Barker spoke to Western students last week about comedy and humour
writing.
The Marble Index rocks stage and moustaches
Hamilton band breaks out the dance-rock for Thursday crowd
CONCERT REVIEW
Performance:

Alana Dyer/ The Gazette
A MOUSTACHE HAS MANY USES. . . EVEN THE MICROPHONE
FEELS THAT TICKLING SENSATION! Frontman Brad Germain led
The Marble Index on a rock assault of Call The Office this weekend.
Call The Office has hosted many
high-quality shows, and Hamilton’s
The Marble Index kept the tradition
alive last Thursday night.
The Marble Index put on an
energized dance-rock show for
the small but excited crowd, with
the U.K.’s Four Day Hombre opening.
Four Day Hombre’s catchy poprock sound fits somewhere
between early Oasis and Coldplay’s
piano melodies.
The band played to a sparse
crowd more interested in beer than
the set. Those listening, however,
seemed impressed.
Set List:
Worth the $$$:
Lead singer Simon Wainwright
granted cover-song requests and
joked about covering Bryan Adams’
“Summer of 69” and his “undying
love” for “our nation’s band,” Nickelback.
Around midnight The Marble
Index hit the stage, opening with
the hard-riffed “Everyone Else”
from its 2006 sophomore release
Watch Your Candles Watch Your
Knives.
Lead singer Brad Germain bantered with the crowd, using every
opportunity to get people moving.
Sporting a handlebar moustache,
Germain joked about his hatred for
Christmas and organized religion
before taking an impromptu crowd
poll to gauge the popularity of his
new facial hair.
Though the band mostly played
songs from its second album, it also
performed old favourites like the
danceable “We Can Make It” and
the popular “I Believe.”
The band also played a rough
cut of an unnamed new song,
which had a hard-rocking, catchy
riff. Missing from the set list, however, was the instantly infectious
single, “All That I Know.”
Though Germain interacted
very little with drummer Adam
Knickle and bassist Ryan Tweedle
during the set, the finale put any
accusations of a one-man show to
rest.
In a clockwise instrument
switch-up, all three members
seamlessly switched places and
jammed to “I Believe.”
Despite its energetic close, the
lack of an encore was disappointing.
Overall, The Marble Index
proved an entertaining alternative
to hitting London’s crowded Thursday-night bar scene.

London location last month, boasts fun
classes taught by “regular” women to

The program provides a full-body workout and a chance to try your hand (and

student-budget friendly.
Located at Pilateez on Adelaide, Aradia
classes run from $25 per intro class to $65
an hour for personal lessons and $149 for
six weeks of classes.

The workout combines yoga, pilates
and sensual dance routines. After enduring
both the intro class and six weeks at level
one, participants can try their hand (and
body) at the pole. Since London’s location
is new, it currently only offers level-one
classes.
If you’ve spent time hanging around the
Saugeen stripper, however, perhaps you
can get special permission to skip ahead
and start playing on the pole.
Aradia Fitness also offers corporate and
group parties. Parties include dinner at
Robinson Hall, then pole lessons and
drinks at The Thorny Devil. You’ll be taught
pole, wall and lap dance routines — and
you can get sloshed and dance like a hussy.
If staying at home works better for you,
Aradia offers a series of instructional
videos. It also sells brass poles that can be
custom-fit for your favourite ceiling —
bedroom, kitchen, dining room, Aradia’s
staff doesn’t judge — with five inches of
adjustability and two size options.
Something this sexy, however, has a big
ticket: the “classic pole,” — 1.5 inches in
diameter — will set you back $379, and the
“standard pole” — 2 inches in diameter —
costs $50 more.
Despite its steep prices, Aradia offers a
fun alternative to working out in a gym and
a great opportunity to brush up on your
bedroom skills.

Last Saturday, students set their
alarms early to don green attire,
pour a cold glass of beer for breakfast and celebrate their favourite
patron saint.
Like many Western women, I
enjoy an occasional drink or two
to alleviate my mental anxieties
about university life — especially
on a joyous occasion like St.
Patrick’s Day.
Drinking is undoubtedly a social
activity that helps form new friendships and strengthen old ones.
While drinking isn’t the only way to
have fun, some of the best stories
and fondest memories involve the
shameless consumption of alcohol.
Unlike many Western women,
however, it pains my soul that
many females don’t share my
yearning for big, frothy pints of ice
cold, imported beer. Many females
generally “hate the taste” as their
defective tastebuds prefer the
sweetness of a “Sex On The Beach”
instead of our flavourful other
patron saint, Alexander Keith.
Women who are heavy beer
drinkers are often stereotyped as
either butch or “casual and downto-earth.” As touching as this may
be, it surprises men when women
chug faster and indulge in the supposedly male phenomenon of beer
drinking.
We become limited to “girly
drinks” like wine coolers and
Fuzzy Navels — stuff wholly
avoided by men. Guys spotted
sipping a Mojito will be ostracized
forever as “the guy who drinks
girly drinks.”
We’re swayed into entering Jim
Bob’s because of its cheap Wednesday-night cocktails. If you’re look-
ing to get trashed quickly and easily then yes, girly drinks can guarantee some pretty sweet sexually
transmitted infections. Women
must expand their horizons and
reward their tastebuds by debunking some of the myths of beer
drinking.
One of the biggest reasons
women seem to avoid beer is the
thought of matching their
boyfriend’s “beer belly.” However,
beer won’t contribute to obesity if
it’s ingested in moderation. In fact,
most cocktails and mixed drinks
contain sugary syrups adding up to
more than 800 calories per drink.
Even a tall pint of Guinness draught
has less calories and alcohol than a
martini.
If you’re really paranoid about
gaining weight, there are lowcalorie beer options like Corona
Light and Beck’s Premier Light
still offering the same refreshing
taste.
Some studies have even suggested beer — drank in moderation
— provides the same health benefits as wine, reducing chances of
strokes and heart disease.
If you’re not drinking beer,
you’re missing out.
There’s a hidden, mystical world
of beer I haven’t fully uncovered
yet. Each beer has its own taste and
character. Each lager or ale has an
appearance and history unlike the
boring concoctions of vodka and
some kind of juice.
So the next time you’re out, try
something new. Overcome your
fear of beer. Start off slow by replacing your usual Cosmopolitan with
a Stella Artois. You’ll probably thank
me later.

ON DISC
Finger Eleven
Them VS. You VS. Me
Wind-Up Records
If Finger Eleven’s newest release
was a drink it would be a light
beer, unlike some of the band’s
previous releases, which were like
damn fine lagers fit for lumberjacks.
Like the band’s self-titled
album, 2007’s Them VS. You VS.
Me provides a more radio-friend-
ly sound than its previous alt-rock
releases.
This results in a few interesting
variations of the band’s wellestablished sound.
However, most songs are nothing more than clones of previous
hits like “Good Times” or “One
Thing.” These tunes go down a little too smooth.
There’s the Franz Ferdinandesque “Paralyzer” and the unexpectedly bouncy “Gather & Give,”
with the latter being Finger
Eleven’s first song to contain
handclaps.
The album won’t alienate current Finger Eleven fans, but it
won’t gain it credibility among its
detractors either.
Scott Anderson has ditched
the high-school angst lyrics featured prominently in the band’s
back-catalogue.
Hopefully, this trend continues
and Anderson steers clear of the
unfortunate Chad Kroegerisms
plaguing modern-rock radio.
The disc is a worthwhile purchase for fans, but other listeners
should sample it before laying
down their hard-earned dollars.

The Bird and The Bee
The Bird and The Bee
Blue Note Records
Picture a perfect spring day: the
warm sun is glowing and fluffy
clouds are floating in a beautiful
blue sky as you dip your toes into
a calm, cool lake.
With its creamy vocals and
bubbly instrumentals, L.A.’s The
Bird and The Bee provides a similar vernal feeling.
Self-described as a “futuristic
1960s American film set in Brazil,”
The Bird and The Bee is making a
splash in the indie scene, taking
musical experience to sun-shiny
new heights.
The band’s name isn’t a sexual
innuendo; it refers to the band
members’
nicknames.
Keyboardist Greg Kurstin is “Bird”
and songstress Inara George is
“Bee.”
The jazz-inspired duo’s selftitled debut full-length is a treat
for the ears.
With a dash of electronica, a
pinch of ambient, and a heaping
spoonful of indie rock, the band’s
sound is reminiscent of Leslie
Feist and Frou Frou’s Imogen
Heap.
Tracks like “I Hate Camera” or
“La La La” will have you jiving to
your iPod, while other tunes offer
profound sentiment and sultry
vocals.
Nursing its mutual adoration
for jazz, The Bird and The Bee creates imaginative, inspiring tunes.
The band offers more than an
audio experience; its album art is
visually stimulating.
Combining inventive melodies
and defining lyrics, The Bird And
The Bee’s vibrant summery feeling is perfect for drowning your
winter blues.

WHACKIN’ THEIR WAY THROUGH THE BUSH COMPANY. Locker room unity and gritty performance are just a few reasons why graduating Western hockey players will never forget their experiences.
A wild ride: graduating hockey Mustangs
Bonding, team unity crucial in creating memories for vets
By Matt Zerker
Gazette Staff
Almost five years have passed since
the current men’s hockey seniors
stumbled through the Western
gates as wary-eyed pups. For this
season’s veterans, it’s been a wild
ride.
The men’s hockey team has
become a younger, tighter group
that has lost ground as a powerhouse in Canadian Interuniversity
Sport but gained friendship and
experience transcending the
importance of university athletics.
For instance, three of this year’s
graduating players — defencemen
Mike Sellan, Mike McKeown and
Chris Eade — live together. They
also party together, which, according to players, is a distinct feature
of ’Stangs hockey. The three join
centre Ryan Hare, winger Steve
Benedetti and defenceman Ryan
Waldner as the six graduating Mustangs.
According to Benedetti, the
players’ closeness is not only a
function of common interest and
wild parties, but a byproduct of
countless hours spent on buses and
planes.
“The bus trips are summerlong,” Benedetti says. “At the start
of the year you’re playing teams
from the NCAA; next year, the guys
are going on a road trip to Europe,
so the travel schedule is heavy.
We’re around each other a lot, so
you learn to bond in a hurry.
“That’s the nature of the road, it
brings the team together.”
On this year’s team trip to Alaska, bonding was the order of the
day.
“[We] played hockey, saw some
wilderness, got crushed on dollar
drafts at Chilkoot Charlies’ and
then headed over to the ‘The Great
Alaskan Bush Company’,” says
team jokester Sellan.
Episodes like this — however
uncommon due to head coach
Clarke Singer’s normally tight
leash on the team — have estab-
lished a base of trust that bred
team unity and success on the ice.
This year’s team members say
they’ve had the most fun of their
hockey careers while playing at
Western.
“[CIS hockey] is more fun than
the [Ontario Hockey League]
because it’s less competitive for
playing time,” Sellan says.
“In the OHL, you have a curfew
and scouts coming to the games, so
even if you don’t care about [a
hockey career] personally, your
defence partner still wants to get
drafted, so you can’t just throw him
under the bus.
“Here, if [Mike] McKeown or
[Chris] Eade plays better than me,
then I’m happy for them.”
This competitive harmony has
created a comfortable environment
and a bond that makes them more
than just teammates. Not surprisingly, interesting stories are a dime
a dozen.
“Sellan decided to [clown
around] at the rookie party,” Eade
says. “He figured he’d show the
rookies how the fourth-year guys
party. He had minimal clothes on
— on a stationary bike.”
But all good things must come
to an end. Coming down the stretch
this season, the realization that
they are in the twilight of their
careers has created a sense of nostalgia among the players.
“In your last season, it’s more
trying to push to do something,”
Eade says. “I’ve never won a national championship at Western, but
we were fortunate enough to win
the Queen’s Cup. In your last year,
you definitely really think about
that.”
Unfortunately the ’Stangs were
eliminated in the second round of
this year’s Ontario University Athletics playoffs, and won’t have the
chance at a coveted national title.
But the graduating class of Mustangs men’s hockey doesn’t leave
this season empty-handed, as it
carries five years of good memories
with it.
As a die-hard Montreal Canadiens
fan living in Ontario, it’s somewhat unsurprising — yet also
somewhat shameful — that I’d
never attended a game at the
Forum or the Bell Centre until last
weekend.
I made the pilgrimage for the
matchup versus the Toronto
Maple Leafs and was amazed at
the degree to which the town was
abuzz with hockey. This was the
biggest game of the year and
everybody knew it.
Only one catch: by “everybody,” I don’t just mean Habs fans.
I stayed at the Sheraton hotel
across the street from the Bell
Centre, and it was clear within 15
minutes that 90 per cent of the
hotel’s clientele was comprised of
Leafs fans in town for the game.
As such, over the three days I
was in Montreal, I spent more
time chirping Leafs blue and St.
Pat’s green than conversing with
my fellow lovers of le bleu, blanc
et rouge.
I assumed the ratio would be
better once we reached the arena
and I was right — barely.
The arena buzzed as the game
started, but within minutes we
had to start a Habs chant to overpower a crescendo of “Go Leafs
Go.”
The crowd went wild when
Andrei Kostitsyn scored the first
goal, but the roar from Toronto’s
faithful wasn’t to be taken lightly
when the Leafs tied it up.
The shootout might have been
the best and most deafening three
minutes of my life — I couldn’t
hear the guy next to me over the
boos as each Toronto shooter
skated to centre ice — but the
invading Leafs fans held their own
in cheering when Sundin potted
his goal.
While an away crowd could
never match the intensity of the
Montreal fans, they did the best
one could expect. In fact, I’d argue
the Toronto constituency of the
stadium was far more intense
than the usual home crowd at the
Air Canada Centre.
Leafs fans have it rough when
it comes to tickets — if they can
get past the price raise caused by
corporate buyouts of season tickets, they still usually get stuck next
to some yuppie trying to hear his
business partner on his Blackberry through the crowd noise.
And just as you’re more likely
to find a suit than a jersey in the
front row at the ACC, it seemed
this weekend you were more likely to find a real Leafs fan taking to
the road.
I hate Leafs Nation as much as
any red-blooded Habs fan, but I’ll
give it credit; when a playoff spot’s
on the line, it supports its team —
no matter what lengths it has to go
to.

Sin Bin:
Mailbag: Aboud rips Lance, gets hate mail
Duke Blue
Devils
Last week, Sports Editor Malcolm
Aboud took on seven-time Tour de
France champion Lance Armstrong
in his column “Lance is no better
than Bonds.” Reader response was
strong, with letters supporting both
Armstrong and Bonds. Here are few
we received:
By James Hayes
Gazette Staff
Hats off to the Duke Blue Devils
basketball program for earning
some much-needed time in our
infamous Sin Bin.
The Dookies are keeping the
Bin’s bench warm thanks to their
recent Lucifer-esque fall from
grace. After Gerald Henderson
exacted some elbow grease (literally) on Tar Heel Tyler Hansbrough’s
schnozz, the prestigious Blue Devils buttressed that performance
with a first round exit in the NCAA
tourney.
The Blue Devils, coached by legendary
bench
boss
Mike
Krzyzewski (spell that five times
fast), have been fast tracking down
the toilet. The squad dropped eight
of its last 12 contests to finish the
regular season 22-11 — 8-8 in the
Atlantic Coast Conference — paltry by Duke standards.
Their last two losses were
against bitter, in-state “Tobacco
Road” rivals North Carolina and
NC State. As a Duke fan, there isn’t
much to look forward to this year
short of watching NASCAR and
smoking darts.
Duke has been one of the preeminent NCAA hoops programs
since the days of Christian Laettner
and Bobby Hurley in the mid ’90s.
Their players are stereotyped as
privileged, whiny cry-babies. That’s
why it’s refreshing for Hansbrough
(now wearing a protective mask for
his broken nose) and any other
non-Duke fan to see the Blue Devils suck for once.
It looks like it’s back to the drawing board for Coach K. It’s quite
likely the Blue Devils will be more
dangerous next season, as their top
players — Josh McRoberts, Greg
Paulus and Jon Scheyer — are
underclassmen.
Still, it’s nice to see Dookies
grumble as they’re parked in the
Sin Bin, at least for this season.
To the Editor:
I’ve followed the Tour de France
extensively and watched nearly
every stage for the last four years.
I’m an avid cyclist and ride a
Cervelo time-trial road bike.
How often does Bonds get tested? How often did Lance Armstrong get tested? Oh, that’s right —
before races, during races, after
races and lots of other times.
Many have labelled him “the
most tested athlete in the world.”
Yes, there have been allegations,
but they’ve been unsubstantiated,
amounting to little more than
tabloid journalism in large part by
the French media.
Aboud wrote “Armstrong is the
nice guy who conquered France
despite having to overcome cancer
— who wouldn’t want to see him
win?” Clearly, you don’t know what
you’re talking about. French fans
have been known to literally spit on
Armstrong during races. He’s American, they’re French — you do the
math.
Many French people believe the
drugs he received during his bout
with cancer were in some way performance-enhancing.
Cyclists
using
performance-enhancing
drugs like Hamilton or Landis got
caught.
But seven Tours? First of all, he
had a pro team purposefully devoted to keeping him at the front by
drafting or keeping tempo. Secondly, the man has a heart 33 per cent
bigger than the average human, a
VO2 max of nearly 84 when in top
shape, and excels in the individual
time trials, especially hill climbs
where the Tour is typically won.
To quote Armstrong, “Everyone
wants to know what I’m on. What
am I on? I’m on my bike busting my
ass six hours a day. What are you
on?”
—Chris Prouse
Economics IV
To the Editor:
Malcolm Aboud asks why Lance
Armstrong isn’t on the list of athletes who test positive for steroids.
The reason is simple: Lance hasn’t
tested positive. I figured you would
have at least known that fact before
trying to fit Armstrong into such a
group.
Aboud says Armstrong is directly linked to doping. Why does he
still have his seven titles? Why is he
still considered a hero? There is a
huge difference between Bonds
and Armstrong.
Firstly, Lance has an entire
nation (France) trying to prove he’s
doped. He was the most heavilytested athlete in sports.
That’s why Bonds isn’t guilty of
anything yet. If the NHL, NBA, NFL,
and MLB all tested as rigorously as
the Union Cycliste Inernationale
did, there wouldn’t be enough players to fill starting lines. Cyclists are
tested for everything.
Sure, Armstrong is considered a
hero to lots of Americans while
people hate Bonds for what he’s
done off the field, but that doesn’t
change facts.
Lance Armstrong has taken
eight years of abuse and has more
people after him than Barry Bonds
does.
The infinite number of steroid
tests should speak for itself. Next
time, you should write more facts
instead of ranting about Lance’s
perception in society. Feel free to
prove me wrong and let me know
how Armstrong broke any rules.
You wouldn’t get away writing this
stuff about a hockey player, so I’m
making sure you don’t get away
with it here either.
—Brandon Throop
Social Science III
To the Editor:
I read your piece in which you
assert that “we all know” Barry
Bonds has used steroids. I’m surprised to see a philosophy major
join the irrational mass that
“knows” what hasn’t been
proven.
Though “we” think we “know”
Bonds has used steroids, it hasn’t
been proven. As selfish and antisocial as Bonds can be, I’m very
troubled by the climate in American journalism, even at the college
level, that sets aside its tradition of
journalistic objectivity to participate in the lynching of an unconvicted person.
Perhaps your participation on
the school newspaper is where you
let your emotional side have a life. I
suspect there’s truth in that intuition. I suspect your soul is a haven
of animosity.
Of greater interest is what psychological complex possesses
those to crucify another human
being. There’s a cruelty in that,
which surpasses anything Bonds
has done by being a pain in the
ass.
