After years of increased spend-
ing and inated budgets, the Con-
tinuing Education Students As-
sociation at Ryerson (CESAR), is
now being forced to cope with its
operating decit by restructuring
and slashing expenses.
“People haven’t been managing
our money well in the past,” said
CESAR president Dominic Wong.
“They have just seen increasing
numbers and [as a result] contin-
ued to increase the budget.”
Currently, full-time students
who are enrolled in classes oered
by the G. Raymond Chang School
for Continuing Education totalling
a minimum of 31 hours have been
paying the $11.28 levy to CESAR.
This double charging of both Ry-
erson Students’ Union (RSU) fees
plus part-time fees has recently
come to the aention of adminis-
tration through numerous com-plaints from students, which has
pushed CESAR to consider elimi-
nating it.
Keith Alnwick, registrar for the
university, said he was unaware
of these changes. But Wong con-
rmed that it was the administra-
tion that came to CESAR with the
complaints.
Wong said he doesn’t know
why the problem has suddenly
occurred, as the fee has been col-
lected “probably forever.”
Close to 10 per cent of the ap-
proximately $913,000 in student
fees collected will be cut due to the
change.
The decision to restructure the
budget and implement a number
of changes to their by-laws came at
the Nov. 15 annual general meet-
ing.
Caitlin Smith, president of the
RSU, said she had no prior knowl-
edge of this because neither CE-
SAR nor the university has com-municated this possible change to
student fees.
“We have been reducing all ex-
penses and, for the rst time, actu-
ally geing sponsorship from the
university for some large events,”
said Wong in an email.
“We have run huge decits for
the past couple years and are hop-
ing to get that under control. We
project a small decit this year,
despite great eorts to balance the
budget,” he wrote.
The largest expenses in the
budget include approximately
$350,000 towards salaries, wages
and benets that accounted for
ve full-time sta last year but has
since decreased to three.
All members are currently
unionized and Wong said that cut-
ting their salaries would have to be
done at the bargaining table.
“Other than that, there’s nothing
else we can do,” said Wong.
The board, which currently in-cludes 12 members, accounts for
approximately $87,000, but will be
cut in the next scal year.
Aliate groups have been asked
to cut their budgets. In the case of
the Ryerson Free Press, which op-
erates on approximately $80,000
annually, the requested cuts
amount to nearly half the budget,
said current editor-in-chief Nora
Loreto.
“We are published by a students’
union that is unfamiliar with the
student press industry,” she said.
All Ryerson Free Press editors
will also be put on contract that
will require them to reapply after
the year has ended, introducing
competition into the process.
Wong said it is something they
have overlooked in the past and
editors have been quiing and
joining as they please.
“We want to reduce wasteful
spending and we will be restruc-
turing as well. Membership haspassed a whole new set of by-
laws,” said Wong.

CESAR struggles with deficit
BY VENUS MOSADEQ
Despite the court’s decision to
deny Occupy Toronto’s request for
protesters to remain in the park,
students at Ryerson are still strong-
ly supporting the movement.
On Nov. 21, Justice David
Brown ruled to move forward with
eviction on the basis that the pro-
testers didn’t have the right to take
over the public space and exclude
the rest of the community from the
traditional use of the park.
But Farid Azadian, co-chair of
the Ryerson New Democrats, sees
no justication for the eviction.
He plans to continue his eorts
by aending meetings of Occupy
Ryerson, a support group that has
been created for students. Azadian
aended their rst meeting on
Nov. 4.
“We are an informal group of
Ryerson students critically engag-
ing with the Occupy movement,
as well as determining Ryerson
School of Social Work’s activist
role in ghting for social and eco-
nomic justice,” reads the descrip-
tion on their ocial Occupy Ryer-
son Facebook page.
Some protesters packed up their
bags and left the ve-week long
camp to avoid arrest but other pro-
testers stood their ground.
The city has not yet taken action
to evict the protesters. Mayor Rob
Ford has asked the protesters for
their cooperation in leaving.
Sam Romero, a second-year so-
cial work student, was at the camp
on Nov. 21 right at midnight, the
supposed night of eviction.
“I was there last night,” said
Romero. “I know of the group
Occupy Ryerson. I’m not really
involved with them, I’m just a con-
cerned citizen and I was at the rally
a few weeks ago too.”
The last rally, “Evict Ford,” took
place on Nov. 19 and was promot-
ed on campus by Occupy Ryerson
beforehand.
Protesters demanded the right
to stay in the park and spoke out
against the eviction and social in-
equality.
Romero has been actively in-
volved with the Occupy Toron-
to protest and helps out at
the camp once in a while
with various activities.
“I don’t think Judge
Brown had justiable
grounds. I think
they are nding ri-
diculous excuses
and laws as reasons
to silence people,” he
said.
“Occupy is not
about a place; it’s about
a belief. You can’t evict
ideas. Their opinions are
just as important as someone
who makes millions of dollars or
who is a lawyer, or who may work
on Bay street.”
The park will still be used for
assemblies and breakout groups
and some individuals have con-
sidered renting out a space for the
movement to
contin-
ue.

Six of the 17 alleged ringlead-
ers of the G20 protests pled
guilty on Tuesday as part of an
agreement that will see charges
against the remaining accused
dropped.
Among the defendants
pleading guilty was Alex Hun-
dert, 31, who was re-arrested
and jailed last September after
a judge ruled his participationin a panel discussion at Ryerson
violated his bail conditions.
Hundert and his co-accused
were initially arrested last year
and blamed for organizing the
violent demonstrations that
overtook the city during the
G20 summit on June 26, 2010.
They were charged with con-
spiracy related to the protests
after a year-long undercover
police investigation.
His bail conditions stated he
was prohibited from aend-
ing any demonstrations and
speaking at protests. But, after
speaking at a G20-related panel
at Ryerson in September 2010,
Hundert was arrested and kept
in custody until Jan. 24.
Judy Rebick, the Canadian
Auto Workers (CAW)-Sam Gin-
din Chair in Social Justice and
Democracy at the time, helped
organize the panel and said the
arrest was a “denial of [Hun-
dert’s] freedom of speech.”
“His condition was that he
couldn’t go on a demonstration.
It wasn’t a demonstration, it
was a university panel,” Rebick
said. “They broke his bail con-
ditions because he spoke aboutit. To me, it was outrageous. I
never though something like
that could happen in this coun-
try.”
Under Tuesday’s plea agree-
ment, the six accused pled
guilty to counselling to commit
an indictable oense, a lesser
crime bearing a lighter sen-
tence.
“Sentencing hearings are yet
to happen but the Crown and
defense council have all made
joint submissions on sentenc-
ing,” said Hundert. He added
that three of his co-accused
will have sentencing hearings
within a week, while he and the
remaining two will have their
hearings within the next few
months.
Hundert said his sentence
would amount to 20 months
with a deduction for time
he has already served. He
served ve months in the To-
ronto West Detention Centre
and another ve months under
house arrest. This means that
approximately six and a half
months will be deducted from
his sentence.

High expenditures and inated salaries within CESAR have resulted in a budget decit for the union.

A man who commied a sexual
assault in 2007 has been seen tres-
passing on Ryerson campus this
past week.
The man was already banned
from campus before the incident,
which occurred near the 99 Ger-
rard St. entrance to Eric Palin Hall
and the Sally Horsfall Eaton Centre
for Studies in Community Health.
The incident consisted of the un-
wanted touching of a female stu-
dent’s inner thigh.
According to a security watch
released by Ryerson security and
emergency services on Nov. 16,
it is believed the man commit-
ted more acts of sexual assault o
campus.
The suspect’s ban from campus
is still in eect.
He was spoed shortly past
midnight on Nov. 12, and later was
seen entering the Ryerson Library.
He was seen again on Nov. 15 in
the Ted Rogers School of Manage-
ment building.
Ryerson’s security and emer-
gency services responded to both
sightings, and the trespassing inci-
dents which were reported to To-
ronto Police Services.
According to Tanya Fermin-
Poppleton, manager of security
and emergency services, the sus-
pect may have been on campus
between the initial incident in 2007
and the incidents last week.
Fermin-Poppleton said trespass-
ing is usually only brought to at-
tention when there is suspicious
activity, calls from students, sta,
faculty and the community, or if
the individual is recognized by Ry-
erson security guards on duty.
The suspect is described as a
male with a light brown complex-
ion, in his mid to late 30s, with a
medium build, short black hair and
goatee and an overall unkempt ap-
pearance.
Security has received numer-
ous reports of people of concern
on campus this semester, many
of which have taken place in or
around Eric Palin Hall, particu-
larly in the second oor women’s
bathroom.
They have increased their pa-
trols in and around the building,
but students taking classes there
are still concerned.
“More visibility from security
is needed,” said Tess Fetcher, a
fourth-year social work student.
“I’ve seen one security guard here
in my three years.”
Fetcher believes that a more
visible presence from security
would help deter oenders and
that group walks home would be
a good strategy after night classes.
Hira Hijira, a fourth-year social
work student, thinks Eric Palin
should denitely be a focus for se-
curity.
“I think since Ryerson is so
spread out the security needs to be
spread beer between buildings,”
said Hajira.
Melissa Rehimian, a third-year
social work student, says she sees
security everywhere else.
“I’ve never seen them [in EPH]
and this building hosts programs
that are almost 90 per cent wom-
en,” said Rehian.
Third-year social work student
Swedha Ezhilarasu is also con-
cerned.
“I’m paying a lot for tuition and
I don’t feel safe even going to the
washroom in [EPH].”

TEDx Women at RyeBY CAROLYN TURGEON
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
At their conference on Novem-
ber 20, Ryerson’s TEDx team an-
nounced a brand new event which
will focus on women and equality.
TEDxRyersonUWomen is not
another conference, but an event
which will screen some of the more
notable talks from the TEDx Wom-
en 2011 Global Conference and
include an interactive discussion
involving panelists, or “contribu-
tors”, from Ryerson and the GTA.
“We hope women will become
inspired and engaged,” said Je
Perera, co-organizer, though he en-
courages men to join in as well.
The team is planning to incor-
porate technology from Ryerson’s
Digital Media Zone into what they
call a “collective conversation.”
The DMZ’s Soapbox technology
allows the audience to contribute
live comments and questions.
Other audience members can
agree with them, and the most
popular ones will be sent to the
host and the moderator.
“It’ll help us move in the direc-
tion the audience wants us to go,”
said Perera.
Gwen Elliot, a Ryerson radio and
television graduate and star of the
TV show “Start Something Big”
will be hosting, while Ryerson VP
administration and nance Julia
Hanigsberg will be moderating.
“These two will be the face of the
show and the event,” said Perera.
Meta-Tema, another piece of in-
teractive technology, will alter vi-
sual aspects of the room, like the
lighting, to reect the mood and
the direction of the discussion.
“The idea is to create a real inter-
active space,” Perera said.
He is especially interested in
geing people in male-dominated
programs, like engineering and
business, to discuss these topics,
and said they are the most likely to
avoid discussion.
“We want to reach out to spaces
where these conversations don’t
happen,” said Perera.
“Hopefully that collective move-
ment starts and continues [these
events] next year.”
Ryerson and Maple LeafSports and Entertainment
(MLSE) remains in talksto avert a court battle overthe naming and use of the
Gardens.“The university, MLSE
and Loblaws are trying to
work towards a memoran-dum of understanding andsettlement of all the issues
so it doesn’t have to goto court,” said President
Sheldon Levy.The last court date was
Oct. 31 and there hasn’tbeen another at this point.
The judge was to decideon their process the weekof Nov. 21 but they re-
quested more time.The Ryerson Athletics
Centre at the Gardens

BY COLLEEN MARASIGAN
The Ryerson Students’ Union
(RSU) has mistakenly said the new
Liberal tuition grants will only be
oered to general arts and general
science students.
Come January 2012, the Liberals
will oer a $1,600 grant to full-time
university undergraduates and
$750 to full-time college students
with a combined parental income
of less than $160,000.
“We have to start doing some-
thing to make it more aordable,”
said Glen Murray, Toronto MPP
and Minister of Training, Colleges
and Universities.
Tony Koutoulas, a rst-year arts
and contemporary studies student,
is happy with the Liberals’ new
educational plan.
“I feel that it gives people that
have a low income more of a chance
to aend university,” he said.
According to the Liberal elec-
tion platform, the grants will not
yet be available for students in
professional programs as well as -
nancially independent students or
part-time students.
The Ontario Undergraduate Stu-
dent Alliance (OUSA) website clari-
ed that this means students in sec-
ond-entry professional programs
such as medicine, law, dentistry,
optometry, pharmacy and veteri-
nary medicine will not be eligible
for the grant.
First-entry professional pro-
grams like engineering, commerce
or architecture will be included.
Though the RSU said the grants
were for general arts and science,
they actually will be applicable for
all students at Ryerson who are de-
pendent on their parents, are in the
low income range and go to schoolfull-time.
“I think that at the end of the day
it’s not going to be as eective as we
need it to be if it’s just this grant,”
said Melissa Palermo, RSU’s vice-
president education said.
Palermo said that the Liberals
still hadn’t claried what a profes-
sional program was, yet the RSU
told students that if they were in
non-general programs, like engi-
neering, they were not applicable.
“We would prefer if they took
the money they were going to put
towards the grant and give us a
true tuition fee reduction,” Palermo
said.

8 November 23, 2011The Eyeopener
Years of mediocrity have forced
the Ryerson Rams to fade away
from the Canadian university
sports scene and from athletic rel-
evance, but 2011 was supposed to
be the year that put Ryerson athlet-
ics back on the map.
At the beginning of the fall se-
mester, dozens of media outlets
were supposed to be lined up in
front of the historic doors of 60Carleton Street. In front of them,
Ryerson’s President, Sheldon Levy,
and Ryerson’s Director of Athlet-
ics, Ivan Joseph, were supposed to
be smiling and shaking hands with
the who’s who of Toronto’s sports
scene as they unveiled Ryerson’s
new $60 million athletic facility.
Led by all-Canadian midelder
Alex Braletic, the men’s soccer team
was supposed to overcome last sea-
son’s heartbreaking playo loss
and push for an Ontario Univer-
sity Athletics (OUA) championship,
and maybe even a national title.
Two teams that were smack
in the middle of their rebuilding
phase, the men’s and women’s bas-
ketball teams, were supposed to
have recruited enough top talent to
distinguish them as legitimate com-
petitors.
After nally achieving varsity
status, Ryerson’s newly formed
women’s hockey team was sup-
posed to have opened up their
inaugural season as an ocial Ca-
nadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS)team by skating on the same ice as
such hockey legends as Darryl Sit-
tler, Dave Keon and Tim Horton.
All of these things were sup-
posed to happen, but none of them
did. For that, you can thank Maple
Leaf Gardens.
Arguably one of the best play-
ers in university soccer, Braletic
was forced to miss the 2011 season
because of his current academic
standing. Identical 1-3 records
coupled with signicant injuries to
Aaron Best and Chloe Mago, two
highly touted rookies, have both
basketball teams on the outside
looking in at the playos. Both the
men’s and women’s hockey teams
are struggling with their 90-minute
commute to George Bell Arena for
practices, let alone building a loyal
fan base. But more importantly,
MLG is still not open. No, scratch
that, MLG is still not anywhere
close to being open.
All that to say that all of the talent
for a championship run is in place.
For the past couple of years, crit-ics and administrators alike have
been saying how a majority of the
groundwork has been laid and how
all the necessary steps have been
taken to ensure the future will be
brimming with success. For beer
or worse, that successful future is
directly tied to the grand opening
of MLG, and that’s not fair.
Apart from the constant delays,
the most frustrating part of that
statement is the fact that Ryerson
is overowing with top-tier athletic
talent.
In just over a year, Jahmal Jones
has quickly become the poster
boy for both Ryerson and Ontario
basketball; not to mention the fact
that his female counterpart, Ashley
MacDonald, is dominating every
aspect of her league.
Although both teams are strug-
gling, right-winger Dustin Alcock
will provide the men’s hockey team
with a much needed leader, while
Emma Crawley may very
well be the best women’s
goalkeeper in theprovince by the
end of her stay
at Ryerson.
B o t h
K a s a n d r a
B r a c k e n
and Luka
M i l o s e v i c
are doing
their best to
revive Ry-
erson’s vol-
leyball teams,
while Alysha Gjos
is single-handedly
making Ryerson gure
skating relevant once more.
In just their second year of exis-
tence, Ryerson’s equestrian team
is proving to be a dominant force
on the Ontario equestrian circuit.
And we haven’t even mentioned
Michael Jan of the men’s soccer
team, who is one of the OUA’s best
defenders and Andrea Raso, who is
arguably the best player in wom-
en’s soccer at the university level.
So please, stop telling us that Ry-
erson’s athletic rebirth starts with
MLG. Everything you need for a
championship calibre program is
right in front of you.

#10Equestrian
In just their second year of existence, Ryerson’s equestrian team isproving to the entire Ontario University Equestrian Association (OUEA)
that they are a force to be reckoned with. Currently sitting in thirdplace in the East Zone, Andrea Robinson is not surprised by her team’s
performance this season.
“Last year was our rs t year and we didn’t have enough people to lleach division,” explained Robinson, one of the team’s co-founders.
“This year, people are lined up for shows and everyone who goes iseither placing or having amazing rounds.”
Laura Giffen is one of the team’s newest members and said that shechose Ryerson over other universities because of the equestrian team.
Now two shows into the season, Giffen leads the East ’s Entry Divisionin points, while Robinson is sitting in fourth place in the NoviceDivision. Both Robinson, Giffen and three other Ryerson riders
have already qualied for the OUEA championships.
“You don’t want to get an ego with riding because it’s notan individual sport, it’s a partnership with the horse and
one bad ride can drop you down,” said Giffen. “But I
denitely can be competitive.” —CharlesVanegas

One, two, three. That was Dustin Alcock’s recipe for success in the Rams’ varsity hockey game
against the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, Saturday, Nov. 12, when he scored his rstcareer OUA hat-trick in a 5-4 over time loss. Just over a third of the way into the season, Alcock has
already accumulated more goals (seven) than he did all of last season (four).
“There’s nothing better than scoring,” said the self-described workhorse.
In only his second year with the team, Alcock will need to build off of his quick start if Ryersonhopes to make it into the playoffs this season. Regardless of how this season turns out, he aims to
win an OUA championship by the time he graduates from Ryerson.
Humble and softspoken, Alcock deserves his fair share of credit for the hockey team’s improve-ment this year, as he has already matched his rst-year point total with nine through 12 games.
“We’ve got a good group of young guys,” said the Hamilton native and criminal justice major.
If the Rams’ win total continues to increase at a rate similar to that ofAlcock’s scoring, chances are his group will be OUA championship
contenders in no time.

After playing 120 minutes of soccer at the University of Toronto’s Varsity Center, theRams and the Blues were tied at one goal apiece. Michael Jan, the Rams all-stardefender, was struggling to catch his breath when he was called upon to take the
rst penalty shot.
Knowing exactly where he wanted to place the shot, Jan steppedup to the ball and blasted it to the right side. Instatnly reactingto the shot, U of T’s goalie made the diving save, safely batting
away Jan’s shot.
“I was still condent we were going to win it because I knewChristian [Maraldo], our goalie, could save a goal but then
we missed another one and it didn’t work out.”
The loss marked the second consecutive year that the men’ssoccer team’s season ended in penalty kicks.
Jan came into last season with an already impressiveresume. In his rookie year, the third-year defender was
named the OUA East Rookie of the year and was alsonamed a second team OUA all-star. His second season was
equally as strong on the Rams’ backline, but he did notreceive anywhere near the same recognition around the
league as he did after his rookie year.
This past summer Michael and his brother, Luke,trained together, working on their one on one skills
and getting stronger in the weight room.
Jan, who was named a rs t team OUA all-star, justnished his strongest season to date, nding the
back of the net twice in fourteen appearances.
His strengths lie in his understanding of thegame, his nose for reading the opposition’s
offence and most importantly his contributionsto the team’s offence as a defender.
“I trained a lot more this year on the thingsI needed to work on,” said Jan. “I was a
good enough defender but I needed toattack more, which resulted in a couple
goals this year.”

It has been a tough move up to Canadian Interuniversity Sports for Ryer-
son’s women’s hockey, but it could have been a lot tougher without newgoalie and top recruit Emma Crawley. “It’s not the rst time I’ve played
on a weak team, compared to the rest of the league,” says Crawley.“We’re not a bad team, but we’re just not as strong as our potential.”
As recipient of the prestigious President’s National Entrance Scholar-ship, Crawley has lived up to the high expectations. After 12 starts,
Crawley leads the OUA in saves with 351, 19 saves ahead of therunner-up who has played one more game than her. “I’m stopping
as many pucks as I can,” she says.
Despite the struggles that come along with a young program,Crawley rmly believes the Rams just need to click to becomecontenders. By notching a single victory, the chemistry major
says that her team has already exceeded expectations. Intheir only win of the season the Rams beat the Waterloo
Warriors 1-0, with Crawley stopping all 21 of the shots shefaced.
“I feel like once we click we’re going to be unstoppable,”she said.
Playing on a young team has forced her to raiseher game to a new level, and although the lossesare frustrating, they only motivate her to get that
much better. “I feel like growing up playing forweak teams has just made me stronger as an
individual because I’m always working tentimes harder than I’d work if I was on a teamthat won 10-0 every game.”

#6FigureSkating
When Alysha Gjos transferred to Ryerson
from Fanshawe College, she never planned ongetting involved with the gure skating team. Thankfully for Ryerson, after a little convincing
from a friend who skates for the University of Toronto, Gjos decided to lace her skates back up
after not having skated competitively for morethan two years.
At rst, Gjos found it hard to get her rhythmback as she was struggling to execute basic
jumps. “It felt like a roller-coaster,” said Gjos.“Because I had taken so much time of f I kept
falling in [practice].”
After a tough return to the ice, Gjos realizedthat if she got back into shape, she could havea legitimate shot at winning it all. Last Febru-ary, she captured the gold medal in the Senior
Silver Freeskate event.
This season, Gjos has only one thing on hermind: defending her title as best senior silver
free skater in Ontario.
“Personally, I hope to medal in every competi-tion and I’d like to defend my championship.”

“I love blocking,” said Kasandra Bracken. “The best blocks are when the otherteam gets super, super excited that they’re going to have a huge hit they think
they’re about to do something great and you just take one step above them,and are like ‘Nope! I’m gonna do something better!’”
Seven games into the season, he fth year middle blocker is already lead-ing the team with 16 blocks. Although the women’s volleyball team is 2-5,Bracken believes that Ryerson is playing better than their record indicates.
“We’re denitely a team that’s hoping to make the playoffs,” she said.“Obviously we’re going to have to up our record, but I feel like we havebeen playing well, and if you look at the individual stats we’re up therein kills, we’re up there in digs, we’re up there in aces, we’re up there inblocks. Technically we are leading the league, we just haven’t been able
to get a lot of the results that we wanted.”
One of the lone veterans on a young team, Bracken saysthat she is actively looking to mentor her younger team-
mates. That being said, she says she feels a “selsh”
sense of urgency in her last year of eligibility, butis realistic about the team’s expectations. Still,
Bracken feels on top of her game despite anagging shoulder injury.
“I feel good, I feel smarter, I feel strongerthis year. I’m coming back for a fth year,
so now I don’t have to deal with room-mates, and rez.”

A number of key departures left the Ryerson’s men’s volleyball team with a largely
inexperienced group of players. With ve rookies on his team, Luka Milošević is fullyaware that much of the burden is on him to churn out a successful season.
“It’s a lot of pressure, but I try not to let it affect me,” he said. “I just go into every gamefocused on my duty: [getting kills] and scoring as much as possible.”
And score he does. The fourth-year player ranks fth in theOUA in both points per game and service aces. In ad-dition to that, he also leads the Rams in blocks with
14. While Milošević is content with his statistics,he’s less pleased with the team’s 2-4 record.
“We’re not quite where we want to be,” hesaid. “We beat McMaster, the defending
OUA champs, but then we’ve lost games wethought we should have had.”
With a number of “very winnable” gamesin their future, Milošević believes the team
can be back at .500 by the end of thesemester, which would solidify them as
a legitimate playoff contender.
“We have a lot of talent on thisteam; it’s just a matter of staying
consistent,” he said. “As long aseveryone can stay focused, keep
a cool head and not fold underpressure then we can getthere. We’ve proven we canbe a dominant team when
everyone stays focused.”

Ashley MacDonald has achieved as much individual success as any women’s basketballplayer in the OUA could hope for. The fth-year point guard turned shooting guard was
a rst team OUA all-star last year, team MVP, female athlete of the year at Ryerson,and was second in league scoring. Four games into the season, MacDonald leads
the league with 23.8 points per game, while adding 4.3 rebounds and ve assistsper game. There’s only one last thing that the veteran point guard would like
to achieve before she graduates.
“I want to get to nationals,” said MacDonald decisively.Sporting a 1-3 record to start the season, the team will not make the
OUA playoffs at this rate, let alone the nationals.
“This is my end-all be-all,” said the sociology student. As muchas she wants to make a championship run, MacDonald under-
stands she has to play the role of the patient leader. Thatbeing said, she refuses to set the bar low.
“This rookie class is probably the most skilled I’vebeen around,” she said.
Like a true veteran leader, MacDonald will tryto guide her younger teammates in the right
direction, while improving her own gamein what will be her nal season as a
Ryerson Ram.

Jahmal Jones accomplished more in his rst year at Ryerson than most univer-
sity student athletes do in their entire careers. Having averaged 17.3 points pergame in his rookie season, Jones led the Rams to their best playoff nish since
2003 and was named to the OUA all-star team. The Rams’ oor general hasquickly become the new face of Ryerson basketball, and arguably the new face
of Ryerson athletics.
During the off-season, when most athletes take time off to rest their bodies, Jonescontinued to rene his game by representing Canada at the International University
Sports Federation (FISU) games in August and more recently at the Pan Am Games inOctober. Playing against some of the best basketball players in the world (includ-
ing Puerto Rican J.J Barea, the point guard for the 2011 NBA champion DallasMavericks) showed Jones there are still many aspects of his game that needimprovement and the 20-year-old Mississauga native is ready to get to work.
“I see it as a challenge to exceed what we did the previous year,” said Jones, who is averaging 18.5 points per game this season. “People like touse the word potential with our group but as [assistant] coach [Jermaine]
Small says ‘potential is nothing if you don’t fulll it.’”
While starting off the regular season 1-3 wasn’t ideal for Jones and theRams, the sophomore point guard has no doubt that once the team
gets healthy that they’ll be legitimate contenders in the OUA and pos-sibly make a championship run come February.
Regardless of how the team nishes this season, one thing is certain:the future of the men’s basketball relies heavily on the play of their
explosive young point guard.

#1Soccer
As the nal whistle blew, the women’s soccer team walked off the VarsityCentre’s turf with with their heads down. Not only had they dropped their
rst playoff appearance in three years to U of T, but that loss marked the endof something greater. The Andrea Raso era of Ryerson soccer had ofcially
come to an end.
Without a doubt the best player in Ryerson’s women’s soccer program’shistory, Raso nished her career as a Ram on a high note. This past season
was a historic one for the program, as the team completed the regular seasonwith a program-best six wins and they reached the post-season for only the
third time in 26 years.
Those milestones would not have been reached without Raso.
In the 21 seasons before she was on the team, the women’s soccerprogram had a combined record of 16 wins, 194 losses and 13
ties. In Raso’s ve years with the Rams, they won 24 games.
Throughout her career, Raso amassed a team-high 19 goalsand was named to ve straight OUA all-star teams. In 2008,
she became Ryerson’s rst ever-female CIS All-Canadian. Thispast season, she scored six goals and was named a rst-team
OUA all-star.
“At the time I didn’t know that I was the rst ever,” she saidin reference to being named all-Canadian. “It feels good to
be recognized by the league and across Canada. It meansa lot to me.”
When faltering programs turn around, credit oftengoes to big-name coaches, increased funding or
state-of-the-art facilities. Often forgotten are
the athletes on the eld. In the history ofwomen’s soccer at Ryerson, there has
never been a greater player thanAndrea Raso.

The empty lot across from the site
of Ryerson‘s future Student Learn-
ing Centre may become a home for a
eet of gourmet food trucks.
On Nov. 18, ve trucks parked
at the corner of Yonge and Gould
Streets as part of Food Truck Eats, a
eet of gourmet food trucks.
“We only decided we’re going to
do this two days ago,” said Suresh
Doss, publisher of lifestyle website
Spotlight Toronto and the organizer
of Food Truck Eats.
The food options available on
Friday ranged from cupcakes and
grilled cheese to Southeast Asian
cuisine.
Tamara Jensen, co-owner of El
Gastrónomo Vagabundo, a truck
that serves dierent international
fare, thinks the trucks would make
excellent use of space, even if only
for a temporary period.
“We [have] petitions going around
for this so we can get [municipal] li-
censes,” she says.
The owner of the site, the Lalani
Group, is eager to see the site used
for street food events and strongly
supports the idea, according to Doss.
The plan is to hold a few test Food
Truck Eats events to see the results.
Depending on numbers, it could
become a monthly, weekly or daily
event. More events will be held dur-
ing the spring.
In the past, they have set up in
Mississauga Celebration Square and
in the Distillery District during Nuit
Blanche, among other places.
Executives at Ryerson have al-
ready been in talks with Food Truck
Eats about the use of the lot at Yonge
and Gould.
Some of the possibilities discussed
include leing Ryerson use the space
to display student artwork or set
up booths run by dierent student
groups.
“So far it’s been positive, but only
because they have seen examples [of
our previous work],” said Doss.
Doss has also reached out to lo-
cal establishments like Thai food
restaurant Salad King to oer them
the chance to set up their own food
booths.
Food Truck Eats spread the word
about their Ryerson debut primarily
through the use of social media sites
like Facebook and Twier.
“So far we’ve seen a great re-
sponse,” said Jensen.
Kelly Ali, a third-year psychology
student, found out about the event
through Twier. She hopes that the
trucks will someday become a cam-
pus mainstay.
“It just oers something dierent
and it’s cheaper and easy on-the-
go,” said Ali.
Presenting students with more
options, according to Doss, is one of
the project’s more important aims.
“I just want to show people that
there are more options to street food
other than burgers and fries,” Doss
says.

Ryerson reaps rewards of RemixThe Remix Project gives youth an opportunity to explore creative industries. Tara Deschamps reports
Hidden behind Allan Lamport
Stadium in Liberty Village lies a
small building that houses The Re-mix Project — a charity that edu-
cates youth ages 16 to 22 in the cre-
ative industries.
Remix participants use the fa-
cilities to develop documentaries,
clothing lines, albums and other
creative work. Some students now
aend Ryerson, such as rst-year
journalism student Beza Getachew.
She credits Remix with teachingher skills that she uses at Ryerson.
“She had only one or two pub-
lished pieces beforehand and af-
ter [she graduated] she had mul-
tiple pieces published,” said Bryan
Brock, Remix’s creative arts pro-
gram leader.
“I know it’s going to help me
when I get to second year and start
doing broadcasting because I’ll al-ready be ahead,” said Getachew.
Participants are learning from
sta members as well as industry
mentors.
“They go from entering the pro-
gram with lile to no skillset to
exiting with, hopefully, a great
knowledge of whatever they want
to learn,” he said.
Brock said students are espe-
cially excited when Remix brings in
special guests speakers.
“The fact that we have access to
all these celebrities — they’re only
one phone call away — is a huge
bonus and benet to the program
and to the youth,” he said.
He believes their visits make a
dierence for the participants.
“It’s one thing to see them but it’s
another to realize that what they’re
doing is aainable,” said Brock.
Some participants in the Re-
mix program have been victims of
violence, are young parents or are
youth with a criminal record.Although they do accept youth
from all walks of life into the pro-
gram.
"There are just so many varying
degrees of what at-risk could be
and we don’t like to stick to only
the traditional sense because we
nd that there are so many people
out there that are denitely lost,”
he said.
The project was started by Gavin
Sheppard, a youth and charity ad-
vocate in September 2006 when
he renamed the Inner City Visions
organization he was working with
The Remix Project.
Applicants go through a rigorous
application process based on need
and dedication before being accept-
ed into the program .
Brock, who is also the co-
founder of the Toronto campaign
1LoveT.O., was a graphic designer
and art director before he mentored
youth at Remix.
Brooks Peterson, a 21-year-oldparticipant in the program, said Re-
mix is a great opportunity for any-
one interested in creative work.
“Remix puts you ahead. They
have the best connections,” he said.
“It’s a tremendous help for anyone
who’s trying to make it.”

Gemini
Rejoice, as De-
cember is the
only month
where your habit of dress-
ing up and leing kids sit
on you turns from a hobby
into a job.
Sagitarius
You’ll drink a
bole of ab-
sinthe and run
around stealing garden
gnomes in hopes of open-
ing a competing elf-run toy
workshop.
Aries
On the rst day
of Christmas,
your true love
will give you gonorrhea.
Leo
Your nancial
situation will
start looking
up when you realize that
the holiday shopping rush
makes it really easy to shop-
lift.
Libra
On the second
day of Christ-
mas, your true
love will give you a restrain-
ing order.
Taurus
R e m e m b e r ,
drunk driving
is most preva-
lent around the holidays,
so if you drive drunk and
hit someone, chances are
they’re also drunk and will
think it’s their fault.
Capricorn
Hanukkah will
be ruined when
you lose a leg in
a freak dreidel accident.
Cancer
You will be
trampled in a
hit-and-run by
some drunk bastard with a
sleigh and 12 reindeer.
Virgo
You feel like
you probably
should have
gone to class at least once
this semester, but you were
probably too high to learn
anything anyway.
Scorpio
You will take
too much Ad-
derall and
spend ten hours watching
that Yule log channel in-
stead of studying for exams.
Aquarius
Holidays are a
time to spend
with family, so
you should probably hold
o on that abortion for a few
weeks.
Pisces
You’ll go into
your nals
relaxed and
stress free once you realize
that even if you pass, your
degree is still going to be
worthless.
