Students who missed the occupa-tion o Victoria Park had anotherchance to see the movement inaction yesterday, when the Uni-versity Community Centre atriumwas temporarily host to an Occupyteach-in.

This is basically a way o rais-ing awareness on campus o whatsgoing on right now around theworld with the Occupy movement.Its to try and get students engagedand aware o whats going on,Gemma Richardson, one organizero the event, said.

The event, however, did not goas smoothly as planned. Some stu-dents participating in the teach-in were accused o being too ag-gressive in the promotion o theirevent.

According to Mark Welling-ton, student lie manager or theUniversity Students Council, thepolicy on atrium usage orbidsparticipants in scheduled eventsrom straying more than three eet

rom their booths. He noted there were at least three students whocomplained they were literallychased into the Spoke. Wellington

stressed the importance o the pol-icy, stating the reason it exists isthat a long time ago students madeit clear they were tired o having torun a gauntlet around the atriumto avoid getting nailed by undrais-

ers, iers and other things o thatnature.

Wellington also said memberso the protest were asked by theUSC to remain by their tent, butthe request was rebued.

Inormational pamphlets werealso distributed at the event, whichincluded a condemnation o cer-tain aspects o Westerns univer-sity code o conduct. The pam-phlet described one clause o thecode as giving the university thereedom to construe any actionrom coughing too loud in class tospeaking your mind about tuitionees on concrete beachas a dis-ruption, which can be punishablehowever they deem ft. The pam-phlet continued to assert the codehas the potential to be used as apolitical tool against students.

An issue arose as a result o thepamphlets as well, but there seems

to have been a disconnect betweenthe USC and the occupiers as towhat that was.

You may know Kevin OLeary asthe cold-hearted realist rom CBCsDragons Den concerned only withmaking money, but on Mondaynight OLeary shared some use-ul inormation with Western stu-dents. The advice ranged romspecifc fnancial recommenda-tionsnever invest in a stock thatdoes not pay dividendsto how tobe an entrepreneur, which OLearycalled the most noble pursuit youcould have.

In an interview beore thespeech OLeary revealed his secretto early success as a youth. Ivealways elt every student is alwaysgiven money or borrows moneyor whatever. Ive ound i you take20 per cent o what you earn in thesummer [...] and invest it with se-curities that have yield, either debtor equities with dividends, you will die rich, theres no question,OLeary said.

OLeary stressed that this ad-vice can work or everyone, em-ployee or entrepreneur. He em-phasized discipline to meet that 20per cent goal and never spendingthe principle investment, only theinterest gained, are the keys to suc-cess. Its the discipline o saving 20per cent so you dont buy that co-ee in the morning and you dontbuy some stupid electronic toy youdont need. You end up a lot hap-

pier when youre older.OLeary gave the audience

many useul tips including expos-ing the growing markets in Bra-zil, India and China, but the mostpoignant advice discussed the al-lacy o a balanced lie. You haveto sacrifce everything you have towork 24-7 because youre compet-ing globally now. Youre competingwith others that are willing to workthat way, he said. He stressed thatthe lie o an entrepreneur is notor everyone. You have to sacrifceeverything or some period o time,it may be 8, 10, 15 years, you dont

know. Its toughits very tough.To OLeary, money equals ree-

dom. The whole idea is the pur-suit o reedomits not the pur-suit o money, he said. Despite thehard work, he mentioned the grati-fcation that comes with the job. I was willing to sacrifce everythingto get where I got and Im glad I didit and I wouldnt change a day inmy lie. And now I can do whateverI want.

This reedom, which OLearydiscussed in his lecture and in hisnew book Cold Hard Truth: OnBusiness, Money & Life, may bestbe represented by the anecdotehe told to the eager audience.OLeary told o his son Trevor ask-ing why he couldnt sit in frst classwith his dad on a ight back romSwitzerland and OLeary simplyretorted, because you dont haveany money.

On Sunday night, the University oToronto announced a new und-raising campaign with a loty $2billion target. The campaign is thelargest o its kind in Canadian his-tory. It seeks to top their last cam-paign in 2003, which raised $1billion.

The university has alreadyraised $966 million in the past six years and calculated that anotherbillion in the years to come is com-pletely easible. The campaign isprojected to end in 2016.

The announcement comes at atime when, as a result o the pastrecession and general economicinstability, university undraisinghas decreased across the board.However, there is optimism thatdonations to higher education willsoon bounce back. According toLaurie Stephens, director o mediarelations and stakeholder commu-nications at the University o To-ronto, donors seemed to have re-acted avourably to the campaign.

The campaign has been in aquiet phase. Its been an ongoingcampaign, and we launched it pub-

licly to attract more donations,

Stephens explained. We had athousand people at the launch soit was defnitely a positive event.

The money raised rom the cam-paign will be put to a multitude ouses. Current priorities include im-proving student experience, brick-and-mortar projects, new researchprograms and chairs, as well asscholarships and bursaries.

u bl A blood donation challenge hasbeen issued to all law schools inCanada.

The Graduate Law Students As-sociation, the Jewish Law Students Association and the Muslim LawStudents Association have joinedtogether to help raise awarenessabout the importance o donat-ing blood. With the support o the Western aculty o law, they haveteamed up with the Partners orLie program and challenged lawschools around the country to raiseawareness.

I am sure a lot o donors havealready signed up or the blooddonor clinics without knowing

what an important part they will be

playing, Tom Weihmayr, presidento the Graduate Law Students As-sociation, said.

Whether or not they under-stand the importance o the chal-lenge when they get there, I canassure you that they will ully un-derstand the truly important rolethey have played by the time theyleave.

Last year, only 1 in 60 peopledonated blood. Weihmayr washopeul that this number wouldincrease ater the challenge.

This statistic is even more dif-cult to understand when you thinkthat almost hal o all Canadians areeligible to donate, he explained

A great many people thatneeded blood today had no ideathey would be needing it whenthey went to bed yesterday, hecontinued.

Donations will take place in thestudent lounge in the law buildingon November 22 rom 12:30 to 2p.m., as well as on November 24 atHuron University College and No-vember 30 at the University Com-munity Centre, both rom 10 a.m.to 3 p.m.

Smokers in London are one stepcloser to being told to butt out ontheir nights out.

Last week the Board o Health, which oversees the Middlesex-

London Health Unit, approved aproposal or the MLHU to beginworking with the city to put a banon smoking in many public places.

The ban keeps smokers romlighting up on bar and restaurantpatios, parks and playgrounds, aswell as smoking within nine metreso entrances to public buildings.

Linda Stobo, program managero chronic disease prevention andtobacco control, explained theMLHU wanted to see the ban putin place to protect patrons o thesespaces, the people who worked inthem and children who may alsobe exposed.

Its also about protecting ev-eryone rom the eects o second-

hand smoke, Stobo explained.Stephen Orser, councillor or

Ward 4, said he elt there wereelements o the ban that werecounterintuitive.

I we ban smoking on these pa-tios, people will be lawully allowedto go stand on the street, by the busstop, in droves, where a dozen kidsare sitting, he explained. We asa city cannot regulate smoking on

sidewalks or roads, so currentlyweve got a process in place wheretheres bars and patios where peo-ple can chose to go to and not to goto.

Orser also explained employ-ees could choose to work in thesespaces as well.

Quincy Roberts, manager o

Up on Carling, explained he wasconcerned about the ban. Its justmore o an inconvenience, he ex-plained. He expressed his concernsabout how his customers wouldreact to having to leave the bar viaa ight o stairs.

I eel that people are goingto go on the patio anyway, heexplained.

Stobo explained previous stud-

ies had shown local businesses were not impacted by municipalsmoking bylaws.

I think we need to remind our-selves that currently we have an un-level playing feld, she explained,noting the Smoke-Free Ontario Act prohibited smoking on patioswhich were covered partially, whilesmokers could use completely un-

covered patios.We have emerging evidence

[including public opinion polls]that has demonstrated the currentlevel o protection provided underthe Smoke-Free Ontario Act is nothigh enough or Middlesex-Lon-don residents, she explained.

Orser said, even as a casualsmoker, he would rather see a

complete ban on tobacco handeddown rom the province than whatthe city was doing.

Its a personal reedom issue,he explained.

According to Stobo, the healthunit now needs to take a report tocouncil about the potential ban.She hoped to see this presentationin the new year.

pant in the event, said the USC hada problem with their critical analy-sis o the code o conduct.

We had concerns brought to usby the student lie department andby reservations because our pam-phlet ino had been orwarded tothe university administration andthey were upset that we had dis-cussed the code o conduct in ourinormation pamphlet, she said.

I think there was a breakdownin communication [between Oc-cupy and the USC] because when you say youre going to do an ed-ucational event on the Occupymovement, I dont think it auto-matically clicks with everyone thatin order to educate on the Occupy

movement you have to educate onthe types o complaints or types

o concerns that are raised withinthat movement, she said.

Wellington, speaking on behalo the USC, countered that theissue arose or a completely dier-ent reason.

The issue here is that we hadnot seen any o the literature untiltoday. So its not about the con-tentwe dont get into being thearbiters o truth, he said.

Berchtolds assessment o thesituation did not match up toWellingtons.

No one asked to see the litera-ture we were going to hand out,even though it was made clear [tothe USC] that we were going tobe handing literature out, she ar-

gued. Also, when we sent our ma-terials into InPrint we orwarded it

to the USC. At that point their con-cerns could have been respondedto, but it wasnt [brought up] untilfve minutes beore we were sup-posed to set up today.

Another violation brought tothe attention o the USC by theuniversity administration was themovements ailure to obtain ap-proval or their posters.

No action was taken by theUSC or the university against theteach-in.

At this point were just goingto let things go, debrie aterwardand fgure how we can better han-dle this sort o thing in the uture,Wellington said.

Student representatives on the uni-versity senate are eeling neglectedby the election process.

At Fridays meeting, Adam Fear-nall, a senator-at-large, raised theissue o reimbursement or sena-torial candidates. As it stands now,

candidates who run or senate donot get reimbursed or their cam-paign expensessomething thatis the case or students who runor positions on the University Stu-dents Council.

Candidates [or senate] have atendency to run campaigns that donot have many expenses becauseo the lack o fnancial support,Fearnall said. The fnancial con-straints prevent candidates romdoing things that acilitate voterawareness.

Fearnall added the current sen-ators want to see the inequality

rectifed.While it is possible to argue

that the lack o budget encouragescreativity, it oten merely results inapathy, Fearnall continued. A bal-ance needs to be struck betweenproviding candidates enoughmoney to run a reasonable cam-paign and the necessity o control-ling budgets or the interest o pro-

moting creativity and outreach.I do hope we can [change it].

Ideally it will come rom the uni-versity. They should step up to en-able students to become engaged,regardless o their economic back-ground, Brent Duncan, senatoror social science and the acultyo inormation and media studies,said. I suppose this would be adiscussion we have to have withincommittees and in senate closer tobudget time.

Irene Birrell, secretary o thesenate, said the issue could beraised at senate.

I think one o the things that would have to be considered is whether or not this would be ex-clusive to student candidates.There are 102 members o senate,Birrell explained. So would thisbe something that would be lim-ited to students? I dont know. I wepaid or students to run would wealso have to pay or other constitu-

encies to run? So the cost o suchreimbursements would vary basedon that decision.

However, Fearnall said he waseager to see a change.

The lack o a budget has theability to prevent a student romrunning or senate. We dont hearabout the candidates who decidenot to run because fnancial acces-sibility is not something that peo-ple are very willing to talk about,Fearnall said. We should level theplaying feld to prevent this rombeing an issue.

The Middlesex-London Health Unit has recom-mended an outdoor smoking ban to Londonscity council. The ban would extend the province-wide restrictions on smoking to include a ban onsmoking in parks, on patios and in other publiclocations.

These restrictions are being suggested presum-ably to urther keep the non-smoking populationrom being subjected to other peoples second-hand smoke. Ontarios law against smoking insidebuildings are to keep people rom being orcedto breathe in smokebut at the same time, con-

stantly reducing peoples places to smoke alsoorces people to not breathe in smoke, somethingmany smokers are upset about.

City councils main opponents o the law alsoargue that banning smoking in places like parks will just orce people to smoke in more pub-lic places like sidewalks and near bus stops, andthese places are less avoidable to the general pub-lic. This also orces the amount o smoke to mul-tiply in that one area where smokers will have nochoice but to congregate.

Smoking cigarettes will always aect everyonein at least some small way. The only way to abol-ish second-hand smoke is to abolish frst-handsmoke, and this probably wont happen any timein the near uture. People will always cling to theirright to do whatever they want to their own bod-ies, regardless o the potential drag they are on our

health care system and thereore taxes. And de-spite the governments restrictions on age to pur-chase cigarettes, the advertising o cigarettes andthe locations cigarettes may be smoked, peoplewill still smoke them.

A ban like this raises the question o whetherthe government should even interere in peoplespersonal health choices, and i so, could their e-orts be better spent addressing issues o attyoods and obesity or even road saety?

A ban on public smoking is not going to be thesolution to any problem, and could even backfre.I the goal is to reduce second-hand smoke, thismight not even be resolved by relegating peopleto smoking in their own homes, especially i theyhave children who will then be orced to inhale it.While the ban is a good idea in theory, it will be alot harder to pull o.

Ban not thebest plan

Kiln mcGhopinions editor

A story, which was beginning to resem-ble a classical tragedy, has turned intothe perect storybook ending. Canadianhockey hero Sidney Crosby returned to

NHL ice ater a 10.5 month absence andhe looked as i hed never let.

At the 5:24 mark o the game on Mon-day night, Crosby scored his frst goalo the season o a top shel backhandshot, the same top shel backhand thathas wreaked havoc on goalies in sea-sons past. Beore the remaining min-utes o the game were up, hed pickedup one more goal and two assists in thePittsburgh Penguins 5-0 win over theNew York Islandersnot bad or some-one who hasnt played in a NHL gamesince January 5.

Ater the our-point perormanceCrosby moved up 243 spots to sit in373rd place in the NHL scoring race,still 25 points behind league leader Phil

Kessel. It might be a tad premature tobe predicting Crosbys run at the ArtRoss Trophy, and the points did comeagainst a rookie goaltender rom the15th place Islanders squad. But oten,especially in regards to hockey, the Ca-nadian media like to perpetrate a storybeore its actually occurred, which isprobably why in his post-game pressconerence Penguins coach Dan Bylsma was acing questions like, Can SidneyCrosby catch [Kessel] and win the scor-ing title?

Im not going to make any predic-tions about that, Bylsma said with achuckle. But weve got 61 games letand his pace is pretty good right now.

For a while, it was unclear whetherCrosby would even score another goal.Back in early September, Crosby andhis team o doctors held a press coner-ence to reveal that the hockey phenom was still suering rom post-concus-sions symptoms and would not be re-turning at the beginning o the 2011-12NHL season.

Canadians everywhere watched asCrosby spoke about headaches, dizzi-

ness and the inability to even listen tothe noise produced by a television orradio. Even the taboo subject o retire-ment was broached during this mediaaair. But Crosby was adamant on com-ing back, and although he recognizedthe severity o his injury, he hadnt givenmuch thought to the prospect o hang-ing up his skates or good.

Still Canadians everywhere won-dered i Crosbys ate would ollow thelikes o mentor and ormer Penguinsorward Mario Lemieux whose career was tarnished with injuries. Or even

Eric Lindros, who like Sid the Kid, wasonce toted as, the next great one be-ore his career was shattered by multi-ple concussions.

So when it was announced Sundaynight that number 87 would be back inthe line-up, Canadians everywhere heldtheir breath, hoping hed be the sameplayer who carried the Penguins to theStanley Cup Championship in 2009 orwho scored the golden goal in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. And he waswhich is exactly what hockey needed.

Its sae to say that over the last 12months, the NHLand the game ohockeydidnt see many uplitingheadlines. It was a year marked withthe tragic death o three NHL players,

controversy over the role o fghting andhead shots in the game, the Vancouverriots and even a reak plane accidentthat saw an entire KHL team lose theirlives. Hockey needed a eel good story,and Crosby delivered.

Concussion awareness is rising,and NHL head disciplinarian BrendanShanahan has been slamming downhis iron fst on the leagues oenders.The NHL is fnally trying to right theproblems that have wronged too manyplayers.

For the next ew days, hockey anseverywhere will be talking about hisdominant perormance, and Crosbyan or not, I suspect youll still have toapplaud his remarkable comeback.

O course, it remains to be seen whether the 24-year-old will return tohis position o hockeys poster boy or ithis was only a one-night wonder per-ormance. But or the sake o hockey,lets hope that his concussion is not thedefning moment o Crosbys story, butrather only a chapter in his storybookcareer.

The anticipated arrival o Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Jus-tin Nozuka has Western talking.

Perorming at the LondonMusic Hall tonight, the 23-year-oldis headlining the concert organizedby the Media, Inormation andTechnoculture Students Council.The young musician played a showthere last September and says heslooking orward to coming back.

Oten described as an old soul,Nozuka created this image sopeople would take him seriously.When I started when I was youngI always wanted to be old [] Ididnt want people knowing myage, he says.

Ater being a proessional musi-cian or a couple years now, Nozuka wants to revisit his youth. Theolder that I get, the more I want tore-discover and get in touch withmy youth and not be that type othick-skinned guy because it justdoesnt eel good.

Born in New York City and raisedin the greater Toronto area, Nozukahas two albums Holly (2007) and

You I Wind and Sea (2010) underhis belt. Hes currently working onhis third.

When discussing his frst twoalbums, Nozuka has difculty ex-plaining his creative process. The

experiences [were] both very di-

erent, he says. Its kind o hardto even grasp any o it. Its like ex-plaining love or the wind or whythe seasons happenits kind oan abstract thing.

Although Nozukas music is

evolving, we can expect the same

olk-rock eel o the frst two al-bums on the third. I eel like thereis going to be very similar energybut there is going to be a revolu-tion or sure, he explains. I thinkits going to be dierent but have a

similar undamental truth.

Ater a whirlwind o success,Nozuka sometimes thinks back to what he originally envisioned orhimsel. He says his career isntquite the way he imagined it, but ishappy with how it turned out.

I would always imagine sign-ing with some big record com-pany, he recalls. There was justthis airytale-like kind o vision.

Nozuka doesnt have specifclong-term goalshis main inten-tion is to make honest music. Firstand oremost I [want to] makemusic that is true with me, thatresonates with me, and makes itto the world and I can tour it, heexplains.

While Nozuka enjoys play-ing at home in Canada, its more

nerve-wracking because riendsand amily are usually in the audi-enceplaying overseas is always adierent experience.

In Europe theres a bit moreo a buzz with my music there sotheres just more excitement andpeople at the showits just a di-erent thing, he notes.

Nozuka tries to stay groundeddespite all his success.

Ive learned that success is notreally a destination, he explains.Theres no endit never ends. Irealized that the important thing isnot about dreaming or tomorrow,its about enjoying the momenttoday.

Nozuka plays at the London Music Hall tonight. The venue islocated at 178 Dundas Street. Tick-ets are $15 at InfoSource and doorsopen at 8 p.m.

Director: Bill CondonStarring: Kristen Stewart, RobertPattinson, Taylor Lautner

For those unaware, Twilight: Break-ing Dawn Part 1 is the newest in-stallment in the Twilight moviesaga based on the novels o thesame name.

Following the marriage be-tween Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart)and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattin-son), and continuing to ollowthem through their honeymoon tothe birth o their frst child, Break-ing Dawn somehow manages to ftall o this into the timeline o just aew short months. The baby is ap-parently able to magically grow atan increased rate.

The movie is actually quite hi-larious, starting rom the incred-ibly awkward speeches during thewedding, to the Keanu Reeves-styleone-dimensional acting, to thevampires punching werewolves inthe ace. During the wedding, notone person, including the bride,looks even the slightest bit happy,and Kristen Stewarts expressionranges rom slightly nauseous toslightly annoyed.

Credit should be given to TaylorLautnerplaying Jacob Black who actually seems to at least betrying to give his character some

emotional depth, even i that depthis simply varying degrees o angerand angst.

Perhaps the most entertain-ingly awkward moments come when Bella, Edward and Jacob in-teract. Most o these moments in-volve Bella and Jacob being almostintimate while Edward creepilystares at them rom a distance.One would think that the stalking would have ended with the mar-riage, but in a world o super-pre-mature-vampire-etuses anythingis possible.

The rest o the interactions be-tween any characters range romindierence to hatred. In only onescene does the married couplelook even remotely happy, and itis clearly just a plot convenience tourther anger Lautners character.

The movie is ull o silly scenesthat are beyond over-the-top. These

include the reaction o Edward tolearning he hurt Bella during sexand her spending the remaindero their honeymoon trying to con-vince him to sleep with her again.

Another bout o silliness isseen in the discussions betweenthe wolves, which oten revolvearound the merits o killing certainindividuals. The idea o a pack o wolves complaining to each otherabout arbitrary rules and squab-bling like children simply makesone laugh out loud.

The truth is, i placed with otherB-Movies such as Evil Dead II or

Mars Attacks, this movie does quite well. The acting is either antasti-cally terrible or beyond over-the-top, the green screens are obviousand poorly done, and the situa-tions are so completely unbeliev-able they render the entire produc-tion ridiculous. One could spendthe entire time laughing at inap-propriate moments, eliciting glaresrom those who actually take thesemovies seriously. The problem, un-ortunately, is that this was neverintended to be a B-Movie.

When compared to an A-Listmovie, Twilight: Breaking DawnPart 1 alls short. It oten eels asthough everyone involved in theproduction threw up their handsand decided i they had to do it,they may as well do it in the laziest way possible. The majority o theeort appears to be placed in mak-ing the one fght scene look good,

while the rest o the flm was let tobe completely silly. Enjoyable, butor all the wrong reasons.

Ten minutes with Ten Second Epic

Hile KingContributor

Beore their show tomorrow nightat London Music Hall, AndrewUsenik, vocalist o Canadian bandTen Second Epic, talked about thebands new album and upcomingtour.

What are you looking forward tofor your upcoming tour?

Its been a long time since wevetoured in Canada. We have obvi-ously been busy with the new re-cord. We have also done a lot ointernational tours the past year ortwo and as un as that isto travelacross the world and play music

nothing really replaces the eelingo getting to play in your homecountry because this is where ourmost loyal ans are. Were just look-ing orward to playing a bunch oshows where people know all thelyrics to the songs and are excitedto see us.

How do you feel about doing 12shows in 20 days?

Historically we have been doinga lot o coast-to-coast tours inCanada, and because o the op-portunity this time we only hadthe opportunity to do the 12 shows

and we wanted to make sure they were in places we needed to hit.The record just came out a coupleo weeks ago and its important tobe playing shows to stay relevant. Iknow London specifcally is a place weve been playing or years and years, and weve always had sucha great ollowing there. Its a placethat we knew we had to come backto.

How does it feel to be the headlin-ing band on tour?

Its cool when you are playing ina band and doing a lot o supporttours. You look up to the headliningband, you look up to the way peo-ple spend their money and time to

see this band, and now were one othose bands. We wanted to be oneo Canadas premier rock bandsand that hasnt changed. We willalways have somewhere else to go,there will always be a bigger band,but to see us now getting to thispoint is exciting and reassuring toknow that we were right to keepgoing all this time, and it keeps get-ting better and better.

Have you ever been starstruck?The only time Ive ever been

starstruck would probably beat the MuchMusic awards a ew

years ago when we met Alexan-der Ovechkin. You know in typicalCanadian ashion, while everyone was there, in a hoopla o musi-cians I couldnt really care less, andI see a hockey player, and Im likeWHAT OVECHKIN?that waspretty exciting.

Would you say that you had an in-spiration for Better Off?

A lot o our music is written onpersonal experiences, and a lot oour personal experiences are ouridea o just grinding through it. Wehave slowly progressed and kindo ought or every inch we got.Lyrically I think that comes alongin our songs. We approach every

song as its own story so there is nocohesion in that but I think whenpeople listen to our music theyget a sense that its real and its uswriting about our lives and how wereact to things. For us writing whatyou know will always be better thanbullshitting, because a listener canfgure out really easily when its anartist just trying to portray some-thing thats not really close to theheart.

Catch Ten Second Epic tomorrowat the London Music Hall. Doors at8 p.m., tickets are $10.

The university student diet consist-ing o pizza, Krat Dinner and alco-

hol is never good or the waistline.But the recent trend o bypassingood and heading straight or thebooze isnt exactly the right routeto a healthy liestyle either.

Although its yet to be peer-re-viewed, a new study by research-ers at the University o Missourihave ound that many universitystudents are swapping out mealsthroughout the day in order to savethe majority o their caloric intakeor alcohol at night.

The recent trend is being coinedas drunkorexia, and according toan article in the Calgary Herald, thereasons or it vary, but include get-ting drunk aster, spending moneyon alcohol over ood and keepingweight down.

According to Noelle Martin,the University Students Councilsregistered dietitian, the numbero health risks associated with thiscraze are serious.

Along with the toll excessivealcohol has on your body, includ-ing vomiting, intererence with your bodys nutrient absorptionand stripping away vitamins andminerals rom your body, the lacko ood and proper nourishmentthroughout the day also has manyconsequences.

Three main ones are a lack ototal energy in your daylack oadequate protein in your day, andlack o adequate vitamins andminerals such as calcium [and]

iron, she explains.The strategy o starving one-

sel not only causes undue stresson the body, but also it doesnt re-sult in any saved calories. Martinexplains that when we consumecalories rom carbohydrates theycan be converted into energy orthe brain and body, while caloriesrom protein are used or musclesand immunity. But when the sameamount o calories is consumed inthe orm o alcohol, there are nohealth benefts.

I you consume the sameamount o calories rom alco-hol, they are simply at caloriesin the bodyand not the healthyats either, she says.

Extreme dietswhether it beovereating or undereatingarenever a good idea, especially or astressed university student. Martininsists that the best strategy to stayft and healthy is a balanced dietflled with carbohydrates, proteinsand ats rom each ood groupespecially colourul ruits andvegetables.

Our bodies are machines andthe more you take care o a ma-chine the longer and better itworks.

Back and orth is the best way todescribe the fght between the Western Mustangs and the Wind-sor Lancers on Friday night.

The Mustangs mens volleyballteam won the game in fve setswith the Lancers putting up a good

fght.It was a fve set thriller. We were

really happy to take a team o West-erns calibre to fve and it helps usto benchmark where we are in ourleague and what we need to do tobeat a team like Western, ShawnLippert, Lancers head coach, said.

Windsor started o strong win-ning the frst set 25-21, but the lead was short lived as Western cameback and won the next two.

Fridays game was a tough bat-tle just like we knew it would be. Whether we won or not we knewit wouldnt be over in three, Kyle Williamson, Lancers outside hit-ter, said.

The Lancers loss o steamseemed to be their downall in thethird set.

Windsor always has a lot o en-ergy. They came out fred up to playand as a result won the frst set [...]Being a real energy team, they aresusceptible to crashing. That hap-pened in the third set where [they]came out with no energy and lost25-10, Matt Waite, Mustangs mid-dle, explained.

Windsor came back in theourth set with their middle ScottHickman earning fve o the lastseven points, fnishing the set 25-21.

I eel like they also thoughtit could possibly be an easy winor them coming to Windsor, andthats not a good state o mind tobe in beore any game no matter who the opponent, but they def-nitely are a great team and a bigcontender to win it all this year,Williamson said.

However, the Lancers provednot strong enough or the Mus-tangs. The fth set was back andorth or the frst ten points, butthe Mustangs took it with a 15-11fnish.

[In] the last three points in thefth set at 11-11 we made errors.

There was a ball hit out o boundson a deensive transition, puttingthe score at 13-11, and then there was an overpass that put it at 14-11. When you have that happen you are not going to win games,Lippert said.

Both teams played a stronggame with Ryan Le and Kyle Wil-liamson standing out or the Lanc-ers and Alan Screaton and MattWaite shining or Western.

Waite played extremely well. We were concerned with Phil inthe middle and Garrett on the letside and then [Waite] came in andplayed extremely well, Lippertexplained. That is what makes[Western] dangerous, when yourgo to guys are not playing well orare being isolated on the deence,other guys have the opportunity tostep up and he defnitely did.

Waite scored a total o 21 points,ollowed by Garrett May with15 kills and 16 points and Alan

Screaton with 10 kills and nine digstotalling 14 points.

Alan Screaton stood out [in thegame]. He hit very efciently, hadseveral aces and made some clutchplays in the fth set to help us winthe game, Waite said.

The Mustangs have remainedundeeated this season, but ithasnt always been a walk in thepark.

Our season has been very suc-

cessul so ar, but it has not beeneasy. We have put in a lot o hardwork at practice to get to where weare today and we still have a lot ohard work ahead o us, Waite said.We have aced some very compet-itive teams, like McMaster, Wind-sor and Queens, that have testedus and shown us that in order tostay ahead we need to give 110 percent at each practice.

The Mustangs currently sit

on top o the Ontario University Athletics standing with a perectseason.

It eels really good to be frst inthe OUA, but we are not going tobecome complacent, Waite said.We take our season one week at atime and ocus on what is impor-tant in the present.

Western returns home Friday totake on the fth place OUA teamthe Waterloo Warriors.

Stephen Brunt has a strong con-

nection to the University o West-ern Ontario. He received his bach-elor o arts degree in 1981 and hismaster o journalism degree in1982. Its also where he met his wieas a frst-year student and began tocrat his skills as a journalist.

Brunt worked or the Globe andMailor 27 years beore he recentlymoved on to beome a columnist orsportsnet.ca and the newSportsnetMagazine. Considered by many tobe one o the best sportswritersin Canada, Brunt has also writtenseveral books includingFacing Ali,Gretzkys Tears and a number onebestseller in Canada, Searching forBobby Orr.

How did working at universitymedia such as Radio Western andthe Gazette help you get into theindustry?

It was everything. I walked intothe Gazette in my second year andstarted writing on music. When Ioriginally went in it was to keep up-to-date on the news and see someree shows, but I realized I had anaptitude or it and the writing part was relatively easy. By my third year, I was the pop music criticor the London Free Press, whichhelped lead me to the Globe andMail. During that time I reelancedwith the Globe, which gave me theability to make the right contacts

and eventually a job.

Did you ever think your careerwould take you where it has?

No. I never thought I was goingto be in sports. The only time I[had done] sports was sideline re-porting or Western ootball gamesor campus radio. Music and artswas what I originally wanted to do,but the sports job came open [atthe Globe and Mail] and I wanteda change o pace, so I thought Idtake a shot at it.

How did covering other topics likepolitics and arts help you withsports writing?

It helped out a lot, especiallythe way I ended up doing it. WhenI became a columnist I needed tofgure out a way to keep myseland others interested in readingit. Part o what I wanted to bring was more o a real world connec-tion. There were guys who haddone it like Robert Lipsyte o TheNew York Times, who was one omy real heroes. He was one o thefrst guys to write sports in a politi-cal, economic and social contextin the 1960s. I had covered courts,business, arts, and in the old dayso sports you never did thatyou just covered the game. Now, youcover business, labour, social andpolitical aspects in the context o

sports. It helped prepare me morethan some o the guys who had astrictly sports background.

There has been so much writ-ten on Wayne Gretzky and BobbyOrr. Why did you choose to writebooks on them?

I knew i I was going to write ahockey book I needed another typeo narrative and they both tied intothe country, the culture, the times,the changing pace o sports andits business. Theres a lot o dier-ent elements in those books. TheOrr book discusses the frst player

agents and unions, Canada in the1960s and the changing sportsiconography. The Gretzky book worked the same way since I wasable to look at the one moment when so many things were hap-pening. I got to write about hockeyin a way that you dont usually get

to. I was able to write whole chap-ters on key moments that defnedthem and you dont get to do thatcovering a hockey game. It wasa chance to look at the game in aresh way.

Gretzky and Orr had little to nopart in those books. Was there anyissue writing on them withouttheir help and interviewing peo-ple who knew them?

A little bit. Gretzky co-operateda bit and he didnt close any doors,but Orr made it difcult. The bookskind o stand or themselves. Theresno way you could read those booksand think they were unair. I tried

to balance anything negative sinceits not air to go entirely negative.Authorized books are always glori-fed and unauthorized [books] areusually overly nasty, I wasnt inter-ested in either. I wanted to write abigger story.

I you had had the chance to in-terview Orr and Gretzky, would

you have?It wouldve been easier, but I

wouldnt have learned anythingthat I didnt know. It defnitelymade me think and work harderthan I otherwise would have. It waskind o a test o confdence that Icould write a book like that and dothe amount o work that went intoit. In the end, it helped me to beorced into that position and thinkabout the writing and the story.

How do you refect on your 27years at the Globe and Mail?

They put me in a position todo good work or years. They sentme around the world and allowedme to see and experience things Iotherwise wouldnt have. They letme be adventurous and try manydierent things in my writing. I worked with extraordinary peoplethat set a high standard.
