Fair play audit releasedEnvironmentalism and spending measured

Cheryl StoneNEWS EDITOR

Two audits comparing the candi-dates campaigns recently publishedby the University Students Council.One looked at how environmentalthe candidates were, and the otherhow much money they spent ontheir campaigns.

Candidates are required toreport anything they used for thepurpose of campaigning, AdamSmith, chief returning officer for theUSC, said.

The financial audit was complet-ed because the USC has heard manyconcerns regarding the size of cam-

paign budgets about $1,600, whichis paid for by student fees. Smith saidthere are perennial concerns thatcandidates hide spending.

The Elections Committeereceived the candidates currentreceipts last Friday. Expenses werethen divided into different groups socandidates could be compared.These included campus signage,shirts, paper signage, website andextras.

One category noticeably absentwas video, despite each candidateusing videos to campaign online.Currently, candidates are allowed tosay the time and resources that went

into the production of the videoswere donated, as opposed to anexpense.

This is also the first year thatweve really seen a very high-quali-ty, professional video, so it is rela-tively uncharted territory, Smithsaid of Andrew Forgiones heavilyproduced YouTube video.

In the future he hoped to seeBylaw 2 altered to include costsassociated with video production.He also suggested having set pricesfor videos.

EnviroWestern also ran a similaraudit, comparing how environmen-tally friendly campaigns were.

Nicole Bakker, EnviroWestern

co-ordinator, explained they choseto focus on paper because it was thebest way to evaluate each candidateequally.

When candidates submitted theirreceipts for the financial audits,EnviroWestern looked at the num-ber of pages the candidates printed.From there they looked at what typeof paper was used to determine howmuch water was used to make thecandidates signs.

I think [water use] is an issuethat deserves more attention thanits currently getting, Bakker said.

However, some candidates sawthe methods as inaccurate.

All together we were pretty envi-ronmentally friendly, David BasuRoy explained. For example, theamount of water used to create anew t-shirt is a big difference [com-pared to posters].

Bakker explained basing candi-dates environmental impact onpaper use was a good idea for this

year, however she hoped to changethe criteria in the future.

I want to try and create bettermetrics so we could compare thingsthat are out there.

Behind the normal flurry of cam-paign posters, a little-known refer-endum is quietly seeking attention

from part-time students.The University Students Councilis letting students vote on whetherto add a health plan for part-timestudents. Currently, only full-timestudents are offered the plan, withan opt-out option, at a cost of $96per year.

The proposed plan would offerpart-time undergrads the same ben-efits and costs of the full-time stu-dent health plan, according to ElyRygier, vice-president finance for theUSC. The proposed cost of the planwill be $99.89 an increase fromthis year intended to offset risingcosts.

The health plan is self-funded,which means that the total cost of

the plan is taken on by the students,he said.He added that if students decided

to vote yes and the referendumpasses, part-time undergrads wouldstill have the ability to opt-out of theplan and receive a cheque back forthat amount.

Advertising for the referendumpales in comparison to previous

years. By comparison, last years ref-erendum for renovations to the Uni-versity Community Centre gymswas advertised consistently duringthe election process. But a board

advertising the part-time studenthealth plan was only recently erect-ed in the UCC atrium. A poster andwebsite also went up last week afterthe election campaign officiallybegan.

Nicole Fassina, communicationsofficer for the USC, noted if studentsdont feel prepared to answer theproposed question they couldabstain from answering. She said theelectronic ballot would include a linkto a website with more informationabout the proposed plan.

The referendum could only bepassed if at least 20 per cent of thepart-time undergraduate studentpopulation votes on the proposedquestion. Fassina said if the num-bers arent there, the question couldalways be posed again next year.

I would hope [the referendum]was publicized enough that peoplecan make an informed decision,Fassina said.

Another year, another end to the Univer-sity Students Council presidential elec-tions.

Those of us whove been around longenough know the drill by now. The USCholds their shortest meeting of the year,Big Purple Couch does their best to makethe most out of their annual night of rel-evance, and all involved parties provide a200 per cent boost to The Spokes alcoholsales.

But another tradition exists behindthe scenes and its one Im pretty sure ishere to stay, barring a cataclysmic eventin the USC. Or more likely once WesternsBoard of Governors gets off their collec-tive asses and recognizes the insanity thathappens on campus every year.

Its the campaign spending limit rule.Breaking this cardinal rule and going

over your limit $1,576 this year willimmediately get you disqualified fromthe election. But if youre able to hide

your financial records from the electionscommittee while spending severalmonths worth of rent on election swag,theres a high chance youll win the pres-idency.

Spend money, get elected not toooriginal of a concept, is it? The vastmajority of real elections are decidedbased on which candidate gets the mostexposure, and nothing pays for exposurelike a healthy injection of cash.

But this is student politics. We havesevere punishments for going over thecampaign spending limit because wehave the assumption that any studentshould be able to become USC president

not just the ones who are independent-ly wealthy enough to buy themselves in.

Every year we see candidates comefrom out of the woodwork, complainingabout how theyre being shut out of theprocess because the USC is so internal-lyobsessed.

But its not really that many of thecandidates with true outsider perspec-tives dont have that kind of money tothrow at elections. Even if they stay underthe limits, youre still talking at least a$1,000 investment, which is a little richfor many students.

To be fair, if a student manages to get10 per cent of the vote, theyll be reim-bursed for the expenses they submitted.Which is all well and good if you stayedunder the spending limit and played bythe rules. Too bad your opponents arentgoing to abide by the same conventions.

So then we have situations whereeven a candidate can end up spendingclose to $2,000 just to come in fifth. Thats

just painful.And were not even talking about a job

thats worth spending thousands of dol-lars to get. For the price of admission youget a salary that will pay you for approx-imately half of the time youre in office,endless criticism courtesy of the Gazette

and a resume point most potentialemployers will scoff at. Good thing youget discounts at The Wave and TheSpoke.

I dont think having a system wherewe annually elect someone who didntplay by the rules is something to beproud of. And the fact nothing can beproven on paperisnt really the strongestargument as to why nothing has beendone so far. Whats the point in having thepower to disqualify if its never used?

The USC likes to talk the talk abouthow its an organization open to all stu-dents. But when theres a real financialbarrier to anyone interested in runningthe organization and the only response isa collective shrug, what does that tell

you?

Name: Michael LokYear/program: Second Year Mas-ters in Kinesiology

Years as a trainer: Three

Pull-ups tend to be known as an armexercise, but when done correctly,they work a variety of muscle groups.

Pull-ups are a compound exer-cise that will work your biceps, yourlats the biggest muscles yourback, and it will end up working yourcore a little bit because you have tostabilize yourself, Lok says.

Lok stresses everybody is capa-ble of doing pull-ups.

Its one of those exercises whereboth guys and girls can improve dra-matically, Lok says. Starting off,generally guys and girls can do thesame amount of pull-ups. Its not anexercise thats just suited for guys,but guys have a tendency to improvea lot faster.

Standard pull-ups

To do a pull-up, stand on somethingthat allows you to reach the barcomfortably and grip the bar with an

overhand grip. Make sure to keepyour legs from swinging back andforth, and make your chest come uptowards the bar. Retract your shoul-der blades as you pull yourself up.

To make the exercise more chal-lenging, widen your grip.

The wider you go for a pull-up,the more back muscles youll beusing, Lok says.

As for repetition, Lok says fivereps is a good goal with at least threesets. He recommends doing thistwice a week to see improvements.

Negative Pull-ups

If you cant do a regular pull-up atfirst, theres an exercise you can doto prepare yourself.

A lot of people have problemsdoing pull-ups so theres an alterna-tive you can do to build up strengthfor it, Lok explains.

Every exercise has an up portionand a down portion. The negativepart just focuses on the down por-tion, which will help with strength.

For the negative pull-up you canjump up off of a box and you can holdyourself at the top and lower yourselfin a controlled manner, Lok says.That way youll be working the mus-cle groups but it will be a lot easier.

CONTRIBUTOR

Native artist David Dockstader issharing his mixed media exhibitionThe Absence of Conflictwith the pub-lic for the first time in his 26 years ofpainting at The Arts Project.

Dockstaders exhibit is filled with

abstract and fragmented images.Each six-foot canvas reflects hisdreams and spirituality. Dockstadernotes his dreams represent his real-ity and experiences at a subcon-scious level.

However, there is a sense of free-dom with dreams that separatesthem from reality. Having experi-enced a life full of conflict, in hisartist statement Dockstader saysdreams are a kind of recollection,the light of inner happenings.

While he acknowledges that hisart is personal, Dockstader notes

each piece is highly subjective andwill supply the viewer with imagesand emotions as influenced by theirpersonal experiences. At this subjec-tive level, each piece is a personalreflection of the viewer and eachperson sees something different inevery piece.

While staring at one acrylic and

graphite canvas, the painting sum-mary notes Dockstader found it dif-ficult to decide which way was up.As he studied his work, pieces of theimage shifted, suggesting that theseimages were fluid and that they car-ried further meaning even after theirfirst appearance in his dreams.

Dockstader experiments with dif-ferent media including acrylics,graphite and airbrushing that bringdimension to his work. Black andwhite shades give the works depthand contrast. Dockstader says heonly uses one colour yellow a

colour that prompts people to slowdown and think.

In 2009, Dockstader won theAward of Merit at the London JuriedArt Show, as well as the Sale and theCultural Diversity Award at the Lon-don Expressions in Chalk festival.

His art does not provide an easi-ly framed object for the individual to

focus on, but rather each piece chal-lenges a conventional pattern oflogic and digs deeper into the sub-conscious to bring out emotion inthe viewer. As there appears to bemultiple depths at play in Dockstad-ers art, there are also multipledepths of experience at play in theviewer.

Dockstaders Absence of Conflict

will be on display in the gallery of The

Arts project from February 8 to 19. The

Arts project is located at 203 Dundas

St. in London.

Hey Rosetta!

Seeds

HR Music Inc.

Hey Rosetta! has a sound that cantake a bit of getting used to. Theblend of orchestral and rock instru-ments along with lead singer TimBakers voice can come through alittle tough. Even though the first lis-ten through this album might seem abit rough, dont give up on Seeds. Youhave to let it grow on you.

Every song on this album is indierock at its finest. Driven by drums orpiano, the songs are able to go fromthe softest piano and flute accom-

paniment to a hard rock chorus in acouple seconds. The best example of

this is Parson Brown, which alsomanages to incorporate Inuit throatsinging for some dramatic effect.The vocals sound choppy at first, butafter getting used to a few eccentric-ities, one can appreciate how theycontribute passion and emotion tothe album as a whole.

This album is a true labour oflove, and the heart and soul of thisband is poured into songs likeYoung Glass and Bandages.

This album is beautifully written,expertly played and just an allaround good time. This band growscloser to your heart the more youlisten to them.

Speaking of which, free vegetableseeds are inside every copy ofSeedsas the bands way to promote sus-tainable farming around the world.

Womens Basketball > Western 83, Waterloo 37

Leddy lost in easyMustangs victoryVaughn scores 22 in lop-sided win

Arden Zwelling

ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The only thing worse than losing a

top player to injury is having it hap-pen in a meaningless game.

Thats why you could hear thecollective breaths held at Alumni HallSaturday when Western Mustangsforward Katelyn Leddy fell hard onher ankle after getting tangled upwith Waterloo Warriors point guardErin Tilley under the basket.

Tilley appeared to take the worstof it having her shoulder treatedby medical staff for around ten min-utes while she lay on the floor butLeddy had to be helped off by herteammates, heavily favouring herankle.

The fact Western had scoredenough points early in the secondquarter to win the game didnt makeLeddys injury any easier to watch.And when she didnt return as theMustangs cruised to a lopsided 83-37 victory, it was easy to assume theworst.

Fortunately for the Mustangs,Leddy will have her badly sprainedankle re-evaluated this week andcould be ready to return by the play-offs.

Shell take a few days off. Wellhave to decide where its at nextweekend, Mustangs head coachStephan Barrie said. If she needssome extra rest next weekend wellgive it to her.

Getting Leddy back sooner rather

than later is a priority as moreinjuries are the last thing this Mus-tangs team needs as it rolls into theplayoffs.

Jacklyn Selfe the teams sec-ond-leading scorer has alreadymissed the past four games due toinjury, while Kelly Moulden has beenout since the middle of January andrecently had knee surgery.

Barrie who was provided somereprieve Saturday with the return ofLaura Dally after missing threegames hopes to have Moulden andSelfe back in the lineup by playofftime in late February.

But any more injuries would seri-ously impede the Mustangs chancesof taking a run at the two-timedefending Ontario University Ath-letics champion Windsor Lancers.

Weve adjusted and started get-ting used to [Selfe] not being on thefloor. We knew that would take acouple games but I think people arefeeling a lot more comfortable innew roles and with increased expec-tations in terms of playing time,Barrie said.

Not that playing time againstWaterloo counts for much as theleague-worst Warriors did most ofthe damage in this game to them-selves, turning the ball over 18 timesand shooting just 23 per cent fromthe field, including just 2 of 24 fromthree-point territory.

Fielding a roster that features 12of 14 players in first or second year,the young Warriors have yet to win a

game this season, being outscoredby more than 500 points along theway.

Weve come a long way this year.Today we didnt show it we werehorrible, Warriors head coach TylerSlipp admitted. But we like playingtough teams and Western is a verytough team to play. We want to facethe best competition.

Second-year guard JennyVaughn led the way for the Mus-tangs with 22 points and six assistsin a team-high 30 minutes of play.

She hit seven of the nine shotsshe took but also spent much of hernight spreading the ball around asthe Mustangs continued to find openlooks.

That led to four Mustangs finish-

ing in double digits in scoring,including Leddys 15 points andLaura Dally and Beckie Williamswho both had 12 points apiece.

Coach Barrie has been workingwith me a lot, not only on makingplays for myself but making playsfor other people, Vaughn said. Ivebeen trying to get other people wideopen shots so we can have balancedscoring.

With Saturdays game overbefore it even began, the Mustangswere looking forward to next week-ends double header against theLakehead Thunderwolves, a pair ofgames that could have a drasticeffect on playoff seeding.

The Mustangs are currently agame behind Windsor for first place

in the OUA west division with thetop seed earning home court advan-tage throughout the playoffs.

Theres also the matter of playingthe Thunderwolves twice to finishthe regular season before possiblymeeting them again in the playoffs

just a week later. Head coachStephan Barrie said he would bekeeping a couple cards up his sleeveand not showing the Thunderwolveseverything the Mustangs can offer.

Im assuming theyll keep a fewthings from us until the playoffs aswell. Thats just the way it goes, Bar-rie said. The most important part is,if you dont play hard it doesnt mat-ter. [] It doesnt matter what the Xand O strategy is we still have toplay hard.

Mustangs near playoff berthwith win over Waterloo

ASSOCIATE EDITOR

There are a thousand theories andphilosophies on how to win a bas-ketball game.

But of all of them, by far the eas-iest method is to simply score, score

and score some more like the West-ern Mustangs did Saturday after-noon when they topped the Water-loo Warriors 94-80 in London.

We have had to earn every vic-tory that we can get. Its just beenone of those seasons, Mustangshead coach Brad Campbell said. Butthis is probably the first game all

year that we just outscored some-body. Its nice to know we at least gotone like that.

The Mustangs rode the hot handof Ryan Barbeau to victory, as thepoint guard put up 27 points on 7 of

19 shooting. Meanwhile, Mustangleading scorer Andrew Wedemire,playing limited minutes after gettinginto foul trouble early on, con-tributed 18 and a team-high sevenrebounds.

With Wedemire on the bench, theteam turned to Barbeau to do the

majority of the heavy lifting.I felt like I had to carry theweight a little bit today, Barbeau,who played 38 minutes, said afterthe game. There are days where youhave to do that and there are otherdays where I dont even have toscore. You just do what you have todo.

Barbeau was coming off a forget-table performance in the Mustangsloss Wednesday night againstMcMaster, a game that saw thefourth-year guard miss every shot in31 minutes of game time.

I was pretty embarrassed withthe way I played Wednesday night soI felt like today I had to come out andbe aggressive and knock down someshots, Barbeau said. Thankfullythey went in today.

The game was almost a mirrorimage of the last time these two

teams met in January when Water-loo got out to a 23-7 lead in the firstquarter and rode that to a 93-72 vic-tory.

This time around, Waterloo againtook the reins early, jumping out toan 18-4 lead before the game waseven five minutes old.

But an early time out by headcoach Brad Campbell helped theMustangs turn the tide as they ral-lied to end the quarter on a 12-2 run,pulling themselves back into the

Barbeau leads Mustangsto second half comeback

game.After starting the second half

down six, the Mustangs began shoot-ing the lights out, scoring 31 points in

the third on 9 of 15 shooting, includ-ing 13 points from Barbeau who alsofought his way to the free throw lineeight times in the quarter.

The Warriors tried to rally with 23points in the fourth quarter but theMustangs never stopped shootingand drawing fouls, putting the gameon ice by hitting 14 of their 15 freethrows in the fourth.

We had a terrible start but westarted to settle down as the gamewent on. We didnt get rattled,Campbell said. Weve had situationslike that this year where thingshavent gone well to start games. Itsimportant to stay with the gameplan and keep the work level up.

The Mustangs victory has a mas-sive effect on the teams playoff des-tiny as now one more Mustangs winwill seal a berth in the postseason.

Of course, the Mustangs may noteven have to win again to qualify for

the playoffs, as single losses by theWarriors and Guelph Gryphonsbetween now and the end of the sea-son would also put the Mustangsinto the playoffs.

Its a comfortable feeling, consid-ering the team has a double-headeragainst the division-leading Lake-head Thunderwolves next weekendto round out their season.

Weve put ourselves in a verygood position. Were in really goodshape right now, Campbell said.But I still dont think weve playedour best basketball. [] If we can putsome of our better stretches togeth-er, we can be very dangerous in theplayoffs.
