The Terry Fox Run celebrates the 25 th Anniversary of Hope "If you've given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon ofHope." -Terry Fox Diana Co/etto/ Argus This past Sunday, Canada saw hundreds of thousands of supporters come out to participate in the annual Terry Fox Run. Over twelve thousand people ran the 13 kilometre stretch over the Confederation Bridge that connects New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The event is non competitive and aims to raise money and awareness for cancer. Over $360 million has been raised for cancer research in Terry's name since 1980. The money that has been raised has prompted many scientific discoveries: treatment's to save a child's eye, research on oncolytic viruses (now a main focus for the Terry Fox Foundation), and many other area~ that may have not had the opportunity for research. When Terry Fox, at the young age of 22, began his . Marathon of Hope in 1980, he ran 42 kilometres daily for 143 days until his cancer consl.nned him and he was unable to go beyond Thunder Bay. This year, Thunder Bay held the activities at local high school, St. Ignatius. The run was a successful event and participants enjoyed running, walking, rollerblading or bicycling along the 5km or 10km course. Lakehead University's own Residence Life supported the event by having a shuttle bus to and from campus in hope of encouraging students to come out. James Pilkington, a 3rd year outdoor rec/natural science student, believes the event is worth while: "It's an amazing cause and compared to what Terry did, it is the least we can do." Tracy Allie, a 2nd year con ed/ sociology student ran the 10km course stating, "It's a good way to get in shape and support cancer research." The event was ran by the Lakehead Rotary Club, and Don Morrison (organizer), felt the event was successful in all aspects. Even within the first hours of the morning, 747 participants had raised over $2300 for cancer research. Morrison already states the numbers are "double then last year." A great thank you goes to all who came out to participate and donate. As well, if you would like to make a donation to the Terry Fox foundation, please go to www.terryfoxrun.org more for information. What a To-Do! NOSM declared officially open by Premier McGuinty Amy Hadley/Argus significance of the event Vice Dean Dr. Dan Hunt referenced a comment made by Bartleman: "[Bartleman] captured what this was about - [in his speech] he acknowledged the tensions resulting from the majority of people being in the South and setting policies They had balloons, they had big names and they had over 30 speakers, including Premier McGuinty. At the Grand Opening of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine they pulled out all the stops, and ran overtime for what is being called a historic event for Northern Ontario, L..,;;;.;:.~,~''·"-· and Lakehead University.

The third floor of the West (Lakehead) Campus is not completed yet, but it is not behind schedule. That floor is for offices and was not scheduled for completion until the end of the calendar year. The East campus is not completed either, but at Laurentian they are a bit behind schedule. Dr. Hunt explained that while the Lakehead building was built from the bottom up, at Laurentian they did the opposite, so while the offices are completed, the classrooms are not. There are still some technology problems that need to be worked out. Faculty are also learning to teach medical students, and in a new environment. After the Grand Opening, which a committee for major events had been planning for a year, Dr. Hunt says that he is looking forward to a breathing spell during which they can settle in. The charter class began on September 6. There are 24 students in Thunder Bay and 32 in Sudbury. The NOSM is intended to aid the doctor shortage in Northern Ontario, based on the idea that doctors who are trained here will be likely to practice here. McGuinty touched on this in his speech: "the north needs you," he told the students, "I am urging you to consider a career right here in the North." �2 September 19, 2005 Argus News LUSU's Community Garden Ash/iegh Gehl I LUSU Community Garden Coordinator For most students, the end of April means two things: tying the ends of loose strings in Thunder Bay and stepping out of the University bubble only to enjoy the comforts of a fruitful summer job. Consequently, very few students enjoy what Lakehead has to offer in the spring and summer months. One of the wonderful programs that the Lakehead University Student Union (LUSU) offers is an organic community garden. This garden has been around for two years and has a number of accomplishments under its belt. As anyone knows, accomplishments are usuall~ accompanied by set backs. One of the many accomplishments this year was the creation of a three bin composting system. This project was started in the garden's first year and was finally completed this year. The idea behind this system is to generate enough compost to maintain soil quality but also give students a place to four legged mammal- the deer. there all day long, so feel free to compost.

Drastic drops in support for President Bush show where much of the blame is being placed. This is largely due to the fact that he did not leave the vacation he was taking on his Texas ranch for several days, and did not visit the affected area for nearly a 'Yeek, causiI1,g critics to ponder the reasons why a more decisive and effective approach was not taken with the relief effort. To combat this negative image, President Bush has taken action. The director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was first moved out of the region, and then resigned. This after . it was discovered that his only prior experience was overseeing horse shows, and that he had no actual experience or training with disaster relief. President Bush has assigned Dick Cheney to remove bureaucratic barriers to the relief effort, as well as to be a compassionate and human face for the people of New Orleans to identify with. Finally, the president stated that he accepts some of the responsibility; however most of the blame "rests on state and local authorities." One criticism that has been strengthened, rather than addressed in the past days is that of President Bush's disconnect with the underprivileged and people of ethnic minorities. According to a survey conducted by CNN, 60 percent of ethnic minorities in tne United States believe that the slow and ineffective response to the disaster was racially motivated compared to only 10 percent of Caucasians. This gap has been exacerbated by both critics and supporters of the President. Michael Moore stated that the reason for the loss of human life was not due to nature at all, but human error caused by "cultural and social pre·udice." Barbara Bush, the President's mother, has been quoted as stating: "What I'm hearing which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. And so many of the people in the area here, you know, were underprivileged." These comments have served to create a sense of unease and discontent among the US populous, which is being expressed through poll numbers as low as 45 percent, an all time low for the President. No matter what rhetorical orators ·· are exchanging, with over 160 000 homes damaged beyond repair, and thousands dead, the polls indicate that voters are unhappy, and that could be reflected at the ballot box. those who donated the vegetables (Cattails, the Dilley's and JoAnne Henderson), the seeds and the organic gardening magazines. I would like to applaud the team that helped deliver the new shed . . . in one piece. A big thank you to Jeff Moore for his teachings and patience, Dr. Dilley and his family for lending us supplies when we needed them, Dr. Zaniewski for testing our soils and last but not least, Robert Martins and Ms. Jodi for their continuous support, hard labour and passion for gardening. I would also like to thank LUSU for having such a wonderful program that allows students to appreciate the finer things life provides. There is so much beauty in turning soil, sowing the smallest of seeds, watching with amazement all that blooms, and leaving th.e land with dirt stained hands. Thank you.

One participant suggested that programs at Universities which are specifically relevant to their surrounding areas should receive special attention.

Bentley met with Krupper and VP Finance Chad O'Halloran. Krupper was disappointed in the minister's response to concerns that reduced funding for tuition fees will hurt Northern Ontario students more than Southern students because of lower wages in the North. The government is. reluctant to continue its current funding of tuition fees. After, as Krupper put it, they, "beat that one to death." The meeting took a tum for the student unions are incorporated bodies that can be pushed around by administrations. He points to incidents at Ryerson and York where student space is being co-opted and he adds that here at LU the Outpost is constantly under threat of being shut down. Krupper argues that administration does not fully respect student union leaders as elected representatives. The minister called rights for student unions one of their top three priorities. LUSU also raised concerns about northern funding and the Orillia campus with the minister. The discussion was cut short because of the minister's tight schedule. Krupper says that he will write a follow up report for the minister. It was a series of lightning fast visits, but the honourable Chris Bentley managed to cover quite a few bases while visiting the University last Monday. Included in his busy schedule were Dr. Fred Gilbert, Chairs and Presidents of Northern Colleges, LUSU executive, student leaders at Confederation College, the Aboriginal Support Center, and the Young~~~ Liberals of Lakehead University. The MPP from London West has not been on the job long; he was appointed to his ministerial position in June 2005.

The remaining $27, 500 will fund the employment of a youth intern for a new Materials Science and Biotechnology research center. President of Lakehead University Dr. Fred Gilbert stated that these initiatives hold potential not only to develop research capabilities, but to be "both useful to regional industry and likely to create new, commercially valuable products and processes as well as longterm employment." Hopes are that the new building will help to attract faculty.

"We are looking for people ", s • ", Lakehead September 19, 2005 5 Don't book that ad Publishers attempts to place ads in university textbooks are squashed by parent company s corporate policy Amanda-Marie Quintino The Eyeopener (Ryerson University) TORONTO (CUP) McGraw-Hill Ryerson quietly called off plans to place advertisements in university textbooks because of a "minor oversight" in its company policy. According to Tom Stanton, director of communications for McGraw-Hill Education, the Ryerson team in charge of the ad initiative was unaware of the policy conflict. "We don't permit advertising in textbooks," said Stanton. "When it was discovered that [Ryerson] was initiating this project, we immediately retracted it because it was in opposition to McGraw-Hill's corporate policy to include ads in our textbooks." McGraw - Hi 11 Ryerson is the Canadian subsidiary of McGraw-Hill Ltd. and is not related to Ryerson University. Although the companies publish separate material, they share administrative policies. Not all employees were aware of this when proposing the textbook ad initiative. When the initiative was launched, the company released a brochure in an attempt to receive support from potential advertisers. "Reach a hard-to-get target group where they spend all their parents' money," the brochure read. "Do you really think 18 to 24-year-olds see those on-campus magazine ads? Do you really think they coulq miss an ad that is placed in a well-respected textbook?" read the pamphlet. But before advertisers had the opportunity to show interest, McGraw-Hill Ryerson pulled out the rule book and cancelled the plans. Patrick Ferrier, president of higher educatio1_1 for McGraw-Hill Ryerson, said the initiative retraction was made some time in midJune, shortly after it had been made public. He was unable to provide an exact date. "The reality is that the Ryerson team just didn't know they were doing anything wrong," said Ferrier. "It still wasn't a fully developed plan at that point, so there was no harm done." But according to Gary Ruskin, executive director of Commercial Alert, the fact that McGraw- Hill Ryerson was • even making considerations to impose advertisements in the classroom is shameful. "Some places should be offlimits," said Ruskin, wh,o works to rid the nation's schools ofcorporate markJters. "Some things are too important to be for sale-that includes the classroom." Lana Petros, a third-year business marketing student insists that there are specific places for advertising and the classroom is not one of them. "I don't need to be exposed to commercialism in a J?lace of learning," she said. Business management professor Tarun Dewan is pleased with the initiative's cancellation. "Puttin& ads in textbooks would cause a dilution ofacademic integrity," he said. "It's very important to keep commercial interests out of universities as much as possible. Textbooks should not contain propaganda." According to Stanton, students and professors should not be concerned. McGraw-Hill Ryerson has no plans to change policy in order to accommodate textbook advertisements. The MEH Report Jake Satten and Tom Peotto And the award for Least Favourite Canadian ... Wait, this may give him one more thing to brag about. Brian Mulroney has long been suspected of being the greatest asshole to ever become Prime Minister, and now a new book by former friend, Peter C. Newman is adding weight to this argument. The Secret Mulroney Tapes is a 400-page word-for-word account of Brian Mulroney's rants, raves, and political musings that Newman has held for decades. Newman taped Mulroney in over 100 interviews over the span of many years. Some of these interviews took place while Mulroney was in office. To hear a P.M. speak like this is nothing less than astonishing - case in point, his advice to Kim Cambell, his successor as Prime Minister: "Keep Your Pecker up, Kim." In the book, Mulroney also rags on Canadian political heavyweights, such as Pierre Elliot Trudeau, calling him a "coward and a weakling"; on Jean Chretien, who, according to Mulroney is a "mean, dirty, and stupid bastard;" and ironically (and unwittingly), on himself, noting that "you'd fail as a leader if you allowed vindictiveness to enter your judgement." (JS) How about that award going to Karla instead? Karla Homolka, who by all accounts should be serving multiple life sentences, yet just finished an overly-merciful hot-tub and fling-filled 12 year sentence, is now seeking to reduce the restrictions placed on her parole. The restrictions, which Holmolka argues violate her constitutional rights, include reporting to police regularly, giving them notice if she is to leave Quebec, and avoiding contact with violent offenders. Family members of Homolka's victims are expected to argue against the 'schoolgirl killer' in her upcoming court appearance. Likely,-their argument will prevail. (JS) I/she can't be roaming the savannah, apparently the next best thing is the latest in exercise equipment Oh Maggie, how you've let your figure go! Treadmill shmeadmill, just eat Subway! Idaho-based Conveyor Engineering has gone where no company has gone before ... and created the first treadmill for elephants. Commissioned by the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage, AK for 4-tonne African elephant Maggie, whose last weigh-in showed her at over 400 kilograms overweight. The treadmill weighs 7,260 kg and is 6 metres long by 2.5 m wide. Zoo director Tex Edwards is optimistic, stating that Maggie "seems to enjoy new challenges." Assistant director'"l>at Lampi points out that treadmills have been built for race horses and racing camels, "but never for an elephant." At her August 2004 weigh-in, Maggie was about 455 kilograms overweight. Keepers have made changes to her diet and made her feeding more strenuous; to simulate the browsing and foraging which African elephants would do on the savannah, food is now hung from special structures in her paddock, which require her to reach and strain. Maggie has already lost about 410 kg thanks to these changes. Says Mr. Edwards; "We think it is possible that a lot of elephants around the world will find more regular exercise a beneficial addition to their lives." (TP) If I die, you can have my face Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic are planning to cross a medical frontier and perform the world's first face-transplant surgery. Dr. Maria Siemienow, a 55-year-old surgeon trained at Polish medical schools and with thousands of surgeries under her belt over the past 30 years, has acquired the clinic's approval to attempt the procedure after successful experiments with animals. The procedure involves routine microsurgery: the donor tissue (ie. the face of a cadaver) would be connected to the transplantee with one or two pairs of veins and arteries on each side of the face, 20 nerve endings being stitched together to restore movement and feeling, and tiny sutures to the scalp, neck, eyes, nose, and mouth. Critics point out that infections could turn the transplanted flesh charcoal-black and require replacement by skin grafts, or a second transplant. Drugs to prevent tissuerejection by the transplantee would be necessary for the rest of their life, and raise the risk of kidney cancer. Yet the procedure would only be performed in cases of extreme disfigurement and to prevent painful and disfiguring skin grafts, says Dr. Siemienow. "I hope nobody will be frivolous or do things just for fame. We are almost over-cautious."

While most people don't realize it, the CBC, Canada's public broadcaster, is in the middle of a labour dispute, and by 'labour dispute' I mean that the management has locked the CBC workers out of their work environment, effectively making it look like they are on strike while also taking the power to end the labour dispute away from the workers. As I said, most people probably don't realize that the CBC is on strilce. I, however, do, as I am a geek and like listening to the CBC for all my information about the world. Most people probably don't realize what the labour dispute is about, or see how it connects to numerous other disputes that have occurred recently. Basically, the CBC workers had been working without a contract for at least a year before they were locked out. While there were negotiations going on to try and establish a new contract, the sticking point was the management's attempts to threaten the survival of the union. Basically, the CBC management wanted to eliminate full-time positions and replace them with contractual workers. workers to be drastically reduced. This would reduce the strength of And in the end, the university the union and save money for the won and any new worker can corporation. Sounds great from be hired on a contractual basis.

Thanks for your time, Rob Rombouts The LUSU President's Report The Shrinking Sphere Adam Krupperl LUSV President Where are we going? Good Lord! What a question. Really though, where are we going as an institution? This is a fundamental question that needs to be asked. If you were to look at our campus development plan you'd see that as an institution, we are moving towards a lot more roads, privatized research, more and more parking lots, leasing part of our campus for a golf course, and a really big hockey rink. This plan does not inspire me. It does not speak of a comprehensive plan to make this a better university. It does not speak to a vision of Lakehead as a learning institution; it does not build upon our past strengths as a student-centered institution; it does not create a better learning environment. The focus of the university's development plan is utilitarian. It means giving up our campus to private forprofit interests. It means forever destroying our green spaces, those things (trees and alive stuff) that make this campus so remarkable and beautiful. It means moving the spotlight from northern community-based post-secondary educational programs to commercially-based directed-study programs and being a subsidized sports-centre. It must be asked; what do we want in a campus and in a university? Most people I talk to really realize that a campus is more than a collection of buildings; they realize that those buildings must address the question of living the campus experience. Buildings must serve the greater need of education, and its facilitation. That means making the buildings liveable, flexible, a place of experience and communication on many levels. They must foster warm interaction and a communication with what is beyond the walls. Green space is more than a few artificially planted trees and pesticide sprayed grass. Green space is open space; open is to be filled with possibility. Lake Tamblyn and everything that surrounds it is green space. Its uses are incredibly varied. It is a space of excitement, of chilin', congregation, studying, and canoeing! It is also a safe place. Our campus is remarkable because it has enclaves of green space. The interaction of buildings and green space, how they are put together, their design, their relation to each other, and everything in-betw.een is what creates the physical atmosphere of the campus. A clear, thoughtful, and insightful vision of a campus creates a place that helps its students feel nurtured and empowered. • I wish I could say that the current campus plan has a healthy vision, but I can't. It is a vision of expansion, of opportunistic growth that is more founded in personal ambition than in academic merit. It is a vision that destroys our green space, sells our campus to the highest bidder, and desperately latches onto the newest trends. It does not offer a vision of Lakehead as a place that fosters new possibility for new students to create new boundaries in the world; it is a vision ()fa university that compartmentalizes 'recreational' activity, learning, and down-time. It makes Lakehead a place of specific business and sells off anything that does not fit into that boxed mentality. Why have you never seen the campus development plan? Why don't you know how this place is being changed? Why has student input been limited to one vote at a time, in meetings that refuse to ask a fundament question; is this really what you want? Will these changes make this campus the best learning environment for the future generations of students? Are we creating an environment of possibility, or decided activity? Is this institution looking to the future, following trends, or worse, following personal ambitions? .,:·.· ~ti- .tar~·Coming U~.

U.S. oil production peaked in l 971, and it has been calculated that global production of 'conventional oil' peaked in early 2004. As every schoolchild knows, fossil fuels are finite resources .which take millions of years to develop. Are the Peak Freaks right? Are we facing the end of oil? Regardless of whether or not you subscribe to the Peak Oil theory, one thing is certaingasoline has suddenly become damned expensive. Let me rephrase that: insanely expensive. While millions of drivers offer up their wallets in a manner similar to Jacob's trussing up of Isaac, let us examine the possible alternatives to gasoline-powered automobiles. Natural gas Not really willing to give up fossil fuels? Consider a natural-gaspowered-vehicle (orNGV). Throughout North America, the vast network of natural gas pipes in urban areas make this fuel readily abundant, and its cost is already cheaper than gasoline in the United States. The cleaner burning of natural gas and the thickness of the storage tanks in NGVs result in less wear and tear on the engine (which means less tune-ups) and reduced chance of fuel tank rupture. But to accommodate those thick, sturdy fuel tanks, cargo and trunk space is sacrificed. And their driving range is approximately half that of a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle. So imagine this: you're driving home from the Superstore, groceries stacked up to your eyeballs, when your car splutters and dies. Unless you want to pull it to a natural-gas pump which may or may not exist in that neighbourhood, the NGV driver is SOL. Not to mention that natural gas, as well, is predicted ·to run out within the next century. Hybrid cars Calvin of Calvin and I Hobl;,es once stated, "A good compromise leaves everybody mad." Does this pertain to the hybrid car? I don't know, and frankly I don't intend to do the research to find out. Seriously though, a hybrid car uses both electricity (often with batteries) and a conventional, gas-burning internal combustion engine. Several other machines use hybrid fuel, including trains, giant Argus Feature Septe:mher 19, 2005 g • U I d e t 0 Car - t e r a It erna purely-electric car? mining trucks, and These are currently buses with overhead wires (all diesel-electric more popular in Europe than in North America, vehicles).

Electric cars If hybrid gas-electric cars are all the rage, why not a directed from rechargeable batteries by a controller. The difficulty of finding a mechanic or technician with the skill and experience to repair and maintain an electric car is a major factor prohibiting their use at present. The Smart Car Is the name merely a British-Englishism for looking sharp and stylish ("My, what a smart-looking handkerchief') or a blatant appeal to the urban sophisticate who wants to appear And you thought hydrogen was a pipe dream. Well ... you were right as a member of an intellectual elite? Either way, the Smart Car is rapidly gaining in popularity. The Smart Car is, yes, a conventional diesel-powered vehicle-but an incredibly efficient one. Weighing in at a mere 730 kilograms (as opposed to the 1,280 kg Toyota Echo) it also takes up a mere 2.5 metres of parking space, and has an advertised fuel rate of 4.2 litres per 100 km which owners confirm is fairly accurate. Currently, city councilors in Vancouver are considering parking-fee breaks to drivers of the Smart Car. However, the Smart Car is not the be-all that ends all. With a mere 41 horsepower and two doors, it can't match the studly off-road power of a hulking pickup truck or the cargo space of a minivan. Furthermore, remember the guys who made fun of you in high school? Those guys all drive pickup trucks, and they'll all probably try to run you over. Bio-fuel Brilliant German inventor Rudolf Diesel (no relation to Vin), had predicted that his engine would run on vegetable oil, and at his demonstration at Paris' 1900 World Exhibition he used peanut oil. Henry Ford expected his Model-T to run on comderived ethanol. Nonetheless, supply, price and efficiency meant that diesel engines were eventually run on petroleum. But within the past few decades bio-diesel has made a startling comeback. South of the border, events like the 1973 OPEC crisis and the Iranian revolution meant that serious research into bio-diesel began in the 1970s. Around the world, the environmentalism movement spurred the search for a clean, renewable resource. And what better source than agriculture? Plant oils (such as rapeseed, canola, com, soybeans, sunflower seeds, cotton seeds, palm, and peanuts) and animal fats can be transformed by chemical reactions into fuel. They can either be used directly, with slight modifications, or as an additive to petroleum-derived diesel. But it isn't all fun and games-bio-diesel can clog older diesel engines, produces more smog-forming nitrogen oxides, may decrease fuel economy and power, and has a hefty price tag. Hydrogen power Leading the way in hydrogen power, considered by many to be the 20th century's greatest pipe dream after "peace in our time," is none other than auto giant BMW. Their experimental racer H2R (Hydrogen Record Car) has already set nine speed records in its class. Instead of hydrogen fuel cells, the H2R is powered by liquid hydrogen fuel in an internal combustion engine. BMW also plans to produce the H7, a vehicle offering ''world-class luxury �__ , ----- - - Argus n at • IV e Feature Septemher 19, 2005 • I Ve S modes 0 f t r a n s p o·r t a t i o n Fields of rapeseed, much like this one, create biodiesel Fossil fuels don't really come from dinosaurs, but this But was a nice picture Laugh now, but you'll be investing in horseshoes soon enough and performance along with the clean-air benefits of hydrogen technology." how applicable is this to you;the driver? While liquid hydrogen is already used in rockets and spacecraft, and eyed (thanks to its lightness) for use in airplanes, the "hydrogen economy" has yet to prove it-self practicable. Since hydrogen does not occur naturally in its pure state, an initial input of energy is required to separate it from its surroundings. For further detail ( since this stuff makes my eyes glaze over-which is why I never took chemistry in high school) check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_ economy. Public Transportation So why bother with cars? ou could always consider taking • the bus, the subway, the monorail, the bullet train, or whatever other form of public transportation your city has to offer. Not only are they priced affordably, but (like carpools) they drastically reduce emissions of fossil fuels. Of course, this hinges on the phrase "whatever your city has to offer." Not every city has a monorail or a subway. Indeed, many smallish cities' bus systems are infrequent to the point where walking saves more time (see Walking, below). In addition, public transportation has a stigma which, like most stereotypes, is based in truth. In the anonymous atmosphere of public transit, pickpocketing, robbery, and assault are facilitated. In 1984, New Yorker Berhard "Bernie" Goetz, aka "the Subway Sentinel," made headlines around the world when he shot four youths attempting to rob him with sharpened screwdrivers. And carrying groceries on the bus? Fuggedaboutit! Bicycling What about cycling? It's much faster than walking, you don't have to worry about getting shanked, and it's good exercise. However, you run the risk of being clothes-lined by pedestrians if you bike on the sidewalk and being hit by cars if you bike on the road. Furthermore, a tethered bike, even one secured with a bike lock, is an invitation for theft, or merely the theft of your front wheel. New Guinea Highlanders, like many, enjoy a good walk. Walking The walker gets to set his or her own pace, obtains the benefit of exercise (and a suntan), and ... that's about it. If you really enjoy being outdoors and not having to wait for the bus, like I do, walking is a treat. Of course, not everybody enjoys being at the mercy of the elements or having to set aside hours of travel time a day. www.canada.com auto.howstuffworks.com en. wikipedia.org Horses Unless you live in the country, not a good idea.

In reality, what is be significant, be positive, be around you and me are people like creative and above all, be you. you and I. Inside every person there When I was reading Jake Satten's article I had to remember if I was reading The Argus or an NDP newsletter. Judging by the content in that article, I really thought the latter. After acting like a bunch of whiney children and thugs, do you think these strikers deserve to have jobs at Lakehead? I sure don't. In fact each and every one of them should be fired just for their actions on the picket line. One time when I was coming for a review class, I simply reminded one of the strikers that it was my right to go to school, and they decided to make me wait longer. I ended up being twenty minutes late for that review class. Did the strikers care? Not really. One thing about contracting out was not simply about saving money. I have heard stories where it took these workers five weeks to simply change a light bulb. They finally acted after the professor threatened to change it himself. Rooms in the ATAC building that have no working air conditioning. The men's washroom on the third floor of the library has a burned out bulb. I wonder how long it will be before they get that bulb changed. And the quality of work will decrease if contract workers are brought in? It actually looks like the opposite. When the replacement workers came in, the bathrooms looked better than they ever have. Unions are a big reason that Thunder Bay has trouble attracting business, and the socialists in this city have no real problem with keeping business out. In a twist of irony, Canada's richest province (Alberta), is also the least unionized. If the strikers wanted support from the students all they had to do was simply stand at the side with their signs as oppose to blocking traffic. I probably would have had sympathy for the workers that way. But when I was coming to the university for exams, I almost thought I was dealing with the same thugs that are present on Simpson Street. And if you just drove through the picket line, the cops were waiting there to protect their union buddies. Correct me i~ I am wrong, but that is a conflict of interest. Let's not forget that one worker who yelled 'shame on you' to one person with children in the car. He was going to his granddaughters dance recital at the Bora Laskin building, and just stopped to say that he was supportive of the workers. After that action he quickly changed his mind. I guess the last time the university was on strike one of the strikers got hit by a car and is now paralyzed. If that person was stupid enough to stand in front of a car like that, they got what they deserved. Let's not forget that this is the same union that was behind the Yellowknife mine blast in 1992. Isn't it ironic that Al-Qaeda has never committed a terrorist act on Canadian soil; the Canadian Auto Workers can't say the same for themselves. Our University Doesn't Offer Basic French? Kendra Ezack This is the day we thought would never happen. Some of us prayed for it, while a large majority did not even realize we had two national languages. No matter though, because Canada is no longer a bilingual country. Well, this is the only logical (maybe not) conclusion I can make given that Lakehead is not offering Introductory French. Imagine my surprise when there was an introductory French course in the course calendar for my first year. And oh, the dismay, when proclaimed boldly in black (like a tombstone on the pauper's grave that is education), were the 1 words COURSE NOT OFFERED THIS YEAR.

Global warming or global ice age? Many believe that global warming is inevitable and that climate change promises severe repercussions. However, some historians may reveal that we should not fear global warming as much as global cooling. As they know, history tends to repeat itself and words of wisdom predict an ice age is long overdue. So how is this possible? Well to begin, let's consider the environmental fallout of global warming. Extensive land conversions have altered the earth to be more receptive to infrared radiation (heat from the sun), while greenhouse gases have created an insular layer to contain the heat and temperatures. This environmental phenomenon caused the global climate to change, parching soil and melting continental ice sheets (among other things). These extreme weather processes continue to erode the earth and raise water levels at an unprecedented rate, eventually transforming the earth to marginal islands of land engulfed by a worldwide ocean. This 'waterworld' will be the catalyst for global cooling, changing our once incandescent earth into an iridescent water body. Nevertheless, some may state the global oceans will moderate the earth's temperature. However, this statement is false on two pretences: the changes will be too drastic and rapid for the ocean lag to accommodate; and the insular blanket of greenhouse gases will long remain, sealing our fate in this cold casket. Fact or fiction, I dread the power of nature more than any weapon of mass destruction.

Rod Stewart has three albums "The Rolling Stones lasting twenty, thirty years -- what a stupid idea that would be." - Lester Bangs, Creem, 1973 If the Pearl Jam show at The Gardens showed me anything, it showed me that Pearl Jam are well on their way to becoming the next Rolling Stones. Can you imagine Pearl Jam twenty, thirty years from now? What a stupid idea that would be. The last proper Pearl Jam album, Riot Act, was offensively bad. Since that time, they've released a double-live acoustic album, a double greatest hits album, and launched tours of Australia, Japan, the US, and recently Canada. Through three tour stints since Riot Act, they've played 119 tour dates and counting. Pearl Jam fans have always been the most loyal fans around, and the band has tried to return the favour in whatever way they can. Touring places like Thunder Bay and Kitchener is proof that their primary concern is to please fans. But ask yourself, would you rather Pearl Jam play a show in Thunder Bay, in a hockey arena with brutal acoustics, playing a set that's clearly driven by a 'greatest hits' mentality; or would you rather hear the first good Pearl Jam album released in 5 years? Judging from the crowd response, the answer scares me. To give a bit of back- ground, Pearl Jam was my favourite band from the age of 10 to 15. Including singles, bootlegs, and live sets, I still own about 20 Pearl Jam CD's. So this criticism isn't a blind attack. It's simply meant as a critical review of my childhood heroes, and to find out why I seem to be the only one that feels this way. It almost hurts more that Pearl Jam came to Thunder Bay and played the set that they did. It's like an ex-girlfriend that you're still sort of seeing, telling you that she's met someone else. Pearl Jam used me like an ashtray heart. They crushed me while I was burning out. I've come to the conclusion that the best thing to do when you're spurned by your idols, isn't to find new idols. It's to give up the idea of idols altogether. Why put so much effort into a band or artist that you don't even know?!! How can you trust this group of musicians to evolve with you through your own musical and spiritual evolution as a fan? Pointing out the obvious, you can't. For those that were at the Gardens, it was too late for them. They were already wrapped around Eddie's little finger. But it's not too late for you. Get out while you still can. Burn the bandwagon. Cover up your ashtray heart. But whatever you do, when that ex-girlfriend/ex-hero tells you they want you back, think fondly of the good tim~s, but put them down all the same. Movie watch Jennifer Cudmore New to DVD last week: so absurd. Overall, an entertaining no-brainer that will appeal to most people. Fever Pitch Starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon Directed by Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly Based on the novel by Nick Homby This movie was a pleasant surprise. It was based on the book by Nick Homby (High Fidelity, About a Boy), and fans of his earlier work will not be disappointed. Though the storyline is the typical romantic comedy; Homby, along with screenwriter partners Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (Where the Heart Is, City Slickers) manage to infuse the boymeets-girl formula with humour and insight about relationships and how far someone will go for the person they love. The dialogue is funny and Jimmy Fallon manages to pull off a fairly good performance for once as the Red Sox obsessed fan, Ben. Drew Barrymore stays true to form as the girl of his dreams. The two are funny together and play off one another well. For the Farrelly brothers, this is a departure from their usual comedies such as Stuck on You, Shallow Hal and Theres Something About Mary. There's still plenty of humour, but it's slightly more intelligent and not The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Starring Martin Freeman, Mos Def, Bill Nighy, Alan Rickman Directed by Garth Jennings Based on the novel by Douglas Adams ,,,. and is very ambitious using this as his first project. The cast is well chosen, using both British and American actors. the humour is very much like Monty Python - witty and intelligent (though sometimes absurd), as opposed to slapstick and fart jokes.

Released Last Week: Ill Fated (Canadian) Empire Falls Nobody Knows (foreign) Rock School (documentary) Winter Solstice, ••.::::1 Madison Fans of the Douglas Adams series, The Hitchhikers Guide were giddy with glee when this movie came out. The book series was based on a BBC Radio 4 series which Adams turr).ed into a book in 1979.

Adams was working on the screenplay when he died suddenly in 2001. Followers of the Guide will know how complex the books are, so the undertaking of a feature film is quite the task.

PROUD HOST OF LAST YEAR'S XXX-TOXICATOR &AROUND 1HE WORLD PARTIES . . . �Sports 14 September 19, 2005 Argus Classic arena in need of replacement Fort William Gardens becoming outdated Alan Wickware/ Argus There are not many Canadian university hockey arenas like the Fort William Gardens. It is reminiscent of the old Boston Garden, Montreal Forum or Chicago Stadium (albeit not as large), in terms that the fans are so ..--:11 close to the ice surface, they can almost touch the players. It has that vintage feeling. Over the past 60 years the Gardens has played host to games from every level of hockey, seen championships won and lost, and has also hosted a countless array of concerts, most recently being Pearl Jam. But The Gardens is beginning to show its ag_e, and the issue of a new 'large capacity seating' arena is going to have to be addressed in the near future. If one were to observe the outside of the structure, they would notice a decaying exterior, underlined by the chipping cement of the outside The Fort William Gardens, sitting at the corners ofMiles and Vickers St. in Fort William, beams, and the need for much is home of the Thunderwolves men's hockey team, but for how much longer? more than just cleaning and paint job. The inside of the building the concourse for movement and boxes are just some of the required project much too expensive and is also dated. Lack of space on a lack of a press box and luxury upgrades, making the whole complicated to even bother to Lakehead Basketball welcomes new transfers Morrison confident his team has improved Alan Wickware/ Argus When Coach Scott Morrison opened training camp for the Lakehead Thunderwolves men's basketball team earlier this month, he was·reassured that his team had not tak_en a step backward. He knows this because of the new faces that will dot the lineup. Most notable among these is the arriva.J of three top-rate transfers arriving from various schools around the continent. After spending the better portion of his university career playing at NCAA junior colleges, the latest being Vincennes University in Indiana, Vaughn Daley is coming home to Canada to finish off his post secondary career. The '6 '4 combo' guard is expected to crack the starting lineup for the Thunderwolves, adding to an already impressive back court that will see him team up with the other speedy guard, Scott Seeley. Vaughn's main attribute is his exceptional work ethic, something that fits in well with this Lakehead squad. Daley is also excited to get a chance to play with Kiraan Posey, an elite CIS basketball player who won , the OUA scoring title last season, something that Vaughn has been looking forward to since arriving at Lakehead. "Watching him practice, I can see that he's (Posey) naturally a great scorer, so hopefully we can bring the best out of each other this season." Along with Daley, the Thunderwolves received a boost up front, welcoming 5th year forward Ryan Marrast, a 6'5' native of Toronto, and, Warren Gilchrist, a 6'6' transfer from Howard Community College in Columbia, Maryland. Marrast spent four years playing for a strong basketball program at Acadia University m Wolfville, NS, and his offensive skills will be well used. Gilchrist's sheer size will most definitely intimidate opposing players, not to mention his uncanny ability to knock down mid-range jump shots; something that is often rare in bigger forwards. Coach Morrison is excited about the new prospects he has on his roster, hopefully ensuring that last seasons' playoff run was no fluke. "From a basketball perspective, we have added size, athleticism, and depth to compete with the best in the country on paper. It will now be up to our team to put forth the required effort and dedication to do so each week starting in October." The Thunderwolves pre-season schedule begins October 1st with the annual John Zanatta Alumni game, and finishes November 3-5 with an East Coast swing to ,. the US to play NCAA Division 1 Loyola in Baltimore, Division II Virginia State University, begin to renovate. Thus, a new arena must be built. But where? Lakehead Athletic Director, Tom Warden, says he wants the arena to come here, but not if the school is going to bear the brunt of the construction: "The university has always been interested in discussing plans to build a rink on campus, but in the sense of owning or operating it, that would have to be done by the city of Thunder Bay. We think of it as a good idea, but it couldn't require the universities (financial) resources." Although there has been no official complaint from the school or team, the reality is becoming clear that the arena situation needs to be addressed. There would be no better location in the city than the university campus. It would represent a happy medium to those living in both Fort William and Port Arthur. It is now up to both university officials and city Qffici;ils to work out the details. �Ar~us -esHav Student The VIP Specials Ill Argus ALWAYS FIRST WITH THE NEWS 2 --1 2" S TOPPING PIZZAS - $1 6.99 Piua Tax 1 -1 2" 2 TOPPING, CHEESY BREAD AND 2 POP - $16.99 Plua Tax Nobod'f i°V1 tl,,•5 f-owV"\ °'ff~Cjo..f€S ,,...'I (>O\iV) ti"1':J.> ·•· / 1 - 1 4" 2 TOPPING PIZZA - $11 .99 Plue Tax FOR FAST DELIVERY CALL: THUNDER BAY 8 00 i475•4222 ---- - ~ 772 Ja...

With that in mind, he adds that a $500 reward will be offered for information leading to the recovery and/or arrest/conviction of the culprits. To the question of whether there are any case leads apart from the video, Mr. Murray replied, "No. Nothing has been provided to me by the police. It's their investigation because of the amount of the theft." The television was valued at around $5,000 and if caught, the suspects could be charged with grand theft. As to whether security would be making any changes, particularly regarding security in the ATAC building, he responded, "There are no changes we plan to make to security. That's up to someone higher than me." Good news for amateur actors, though: Mr. Murray said the possibility existed of the case being put on Crimestoppers, a local news .segment where crimes are re-enacted through dramatization. Anybody with information regarding the theft can contact Crimestoppers at 623-8477, the Thunder Bay Police Department at 6841200, or LU Security at 3438569.

Argus News Volunteers needed: fundraising for Tsunami Aid Relief Ashliegh Gehl The Multicultural Centre, located in the tunnels between LUSU and the Gender Issues Centre, has set a goal of raising $5,000 for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami that recently devastated thirteen countries. Lakehead has over 6,000 students; if everyone donated a dollar this goal could be reached. In order to make this a reality, the Multicultural Centre is looking for volunteers that will help fundraise; so your thoughts, your hands, and your passion are needed. If you would like to help with this project, please visit the center anytime between Monday and Thursday from 8:30am to 4pm. If you do not have time to help fundraise, there will be donation box~s all over campus. These boxes can be found at LUSU, the Outpost, the Study, Tim Horton's, and in the secretary offices of your faculty. If you do not feel comfortable donating in the boxes, please visit the international Red Cross website (http://www.redcross.org/donate/ donation-form.asp) to donate online. If you think that you cannot afford to donate at this take, take into consideration the words of Anne Frank, "No one has ever become poor from giving." However, if you cannot donate money, there are other goods that are greatly needed; such as clothing, shoes, and building materials. On Wednesday, January 12th, there will be an open mic night starting at about 8pm in the Study. At this event, donations of any kind are welcoine; every contribution, whether it is educating one another on the disaster, or donating time, money, and needed materials, makes a significant difference. Sometime during the day, perhaps during a break between classes, visit the friendly faces at the Multicultural Centre to lend a hand, share your ideas, or keep up to date on up coming events. On that final note, here are some words from Winston Churchill: "We make a living by what get, but we make a life by what we give."

Tom Peotto/Argus Hours before, in western Baghdad, a bomb-laden truck drove into a police checkpoint and was detonated in the Green Zone, the location of the U.S. Embassy and the interim government's headquarters. This explosion occurred right next to the Iraqi National Guards barracks, where the interim government's paramilitary forces are trained. The explosion killed six people and wounded 40. Attacks have intensified in recent months as militants attempt to undermine the provisional government and the upcoming elections, slated for Sunday, January 30th • On Monday, January 3111, insurgents caused an explosion outside Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's party headquarters, killing three and injuring 25. Like Allawi, al-Haidari was targeted for his cooperation with American forces. Since last summer's official transfer of power to interim government by the Americans, al-Haidari was the most senior official to be assassinated. Government officials are finally admitting that the six central and northern provinces with a Sunni Muslim majority (the minority under Saddam Hussein) have near-daily outbreaks of violence. Speaking on conditions of anonymity, a senior U.S. Embassy official in Baghdad told the press, "The war's worse, the insurgency's worse... This is not going to be a short fight. Nobody should think it is." Conditions have deteriorated to the extent that Prime Minister Allawi, who told Washington three months ago that 15 of Iraq's 18 provinces were safe to visit, now refers to the situation as "our catastrophe."

Released this past September, the study entitled The Price of Knowledge: Access and Student Finance in Canada, combines existing and original research to examine key issues surrounding student access to post-secondary studies. Over the past IO years, tuition has increased by 76 percent with an average student debt of $21,000. For Canadians from low-income backgrounds, fee increases make it progressively more difficult to overcome the existing obstacles to a post-secondary education. However, according to the report, these rapidly rising tuition fees and increased needs for student loans have not had a significant impact on students' accessibility to Canadian universities. The study reveals that university enrolment has increased by more than 20 percent in the last five years alone, while average annual tuition costs and debt load have climbed. Sean Junor, one • of the study's authors, believes that barriers keeping students from pursuing post-secondary education are more than just rising tuition fees. He cited higher admission requirements, as well as social and cultural costs. Several student leaders and student groups have criticized the report for minimizing the importance of tuition on accessibility. Joel Duff, former Ontario chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students, is concerned about the accuracy of the study. "By denying the negative impact of increasing tuition fees and soaring student debt on students from middle and lower socioeconomic backgrounds, the Foundation - i~ providing an study, following up 1995 data, resulted in an increase from 23 to 36 percent of students who cited financial reasons for not attending university. The authors used two factors to determine changes in overall access to education: This study, recently released by the Millennium Scholarship Foundatio11 suggests that increased tuition costs does not affect eost-secondar_y enrollment levels alibi for a further deterioration in access to higher education." Liam Arbuckle, the national director of the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, agrees with Duff. His biggest concern is with the antiquated data, noting that many of the statistics used in the report date as far back as the 1980s, before most of the major tuition increases and the deregulation of many programs. A 2000 the number of people who are attending school and the demographics of those people. Overall, the study found that greater numbers of young people are attending university, with the largest percentage increase occurring in families from the middle-income range. Arbuckle states that there is a misunderstanding that "just because the number of students attending university is increasing does not mean there is no problem with students being able to afford university." Duff compares paying for education with paying for groceries. "People do not stop eating just because they have no money." He points out that more and more students are realizing that they must go to university, despite limited financial resources, in order to earn a middle-class • income. Recent Statistics Canada research points out that today, 85% of all families desire post-secondary education for their children; however, less than 20% of those from lower socio-economic backgrounds will attend university. According to Provost Shirley Neuman, the report underscores what univers1t1es already know. "It is important to note that while 90 percent of families • expect to qualify for government loans, in reality only half receive them." Student leaders have argued that there is a much greater need for governments to take meaningful steps to reduce tuition fees, create a system of up-front needs-based grants, an<;! restore education funding. The • study was conducted by the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation, established in I 998 by Parliament with a ten-year mandate to improve access to post-secondary education. Most of the foundation's $2.5 billion endowment is directed towards providing approximately $289 million per year in grants to undergraduate students in Canada with financial need.

Layton was in Thunder Bay, and had just come from delivering an address at the Victoria Inn. As per the party's in particular. The predominant themes of Layton's short presentation and the subsequent question and answer period were the relations between Canada and the United States, the state of the environment and the challenges facing Canadian students. "If enough of us make a little bit of a difference, a big change can happen." _ Layton touched on student debts; and the 'brain drain' phenomenon, citing both as proof that the Canadian government should invest more money into post-secondary education. Layton ended his address with a message of strength for students trying to make their communities, their nation and their world a better place. "The solutions are there. They're exciting. You're the ones that are going to make them happen." On January 7'\ the Lakehead Young Liberals held their_first fundraising dinner, with such guests as MP Ken Boschoff and MPP Michael Gravelle.

Fred Desjarlais, 55, had completed his shift at Cameco Corporation's Key Lake uranium mill, 640 km north of Saskatoon, and was eager to prepare for New Year's. At7pm,hehadtwooptions: either wait for the shuttle bus, or travel on foot to the camp three kilometers away. He chose to jog. Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him and saw a wolf "limping" towards him from a ditch. Describing the wolf as having "a big mouth and a big head," he later said the wolf "was taunting me, (walking) in a circle around me. I looked around real quick and thought, 'I hope he's alone."' His attempts to scare the beast away proved fruitless when it lunged at his head. He dodged that attack ("That's when I knew he meant business,"), and another one, but then the wolf bit his shoulder. As he was wearing several layers of clothing, he only suffered severe bruises. The wolf then bit him, as the Canadian Press put it, "twice in the pelvis." Man and wolf both fell to the ground and got back up. Luckily, Desjarlais seized an opportunity, leaped on the wolf's back, and put it in a headlock. "I pulled him down the way you would take down cattle --------------, Fred Desjarlais shows off his wounds after wrestling a wolf on New Years' Eve (for roping) and I dropped onto his head, pinning him there." Fortunately it didn't tum into a test of endurance- 30 or 40 seconds later, the shuttle bus passed by, and several of his co-workers chased the wolf into the bush. Cameco's Key Lake Security Officer, Kimm Barker, called Mr. Desjarlais "a remarkable man," and said the wolf"wasn't a very smart wolf because of all the people it could have picked, it chose one of the strongest." Speaking to the press while recuperating at home in Saskatoon, Mr. Desjarlais summarized his dramatic ordeal: "I don't know what came over me or how I did it. All I know is I had his head and I wasn't letting go until someone came to help me." He felt no bitterness towards the wolf: "He wasn't a young, healthy one. If he was, he wouldn't have been there. He wouldn't have done what he did. It was just an older wolf that was doing what he had to do to _survive and I just reacted, thank God, the way I did and survived it." Unprovoked wolf attacks are extremely rare in North America, with only a handful of documented instances. In those cases, the assailant is usually rabid, starving, or a wolf-dog hybrid possessing the dog's blase attitude towards humans.

To the writer of the "Bring back the death penalty" article (Nov. 22), I feel nothing but disgust for the way you think. There are an astonishing number of innocent people ' who have been killed for crimes they did not commit or have been sentenced to die only later to be discovered innocent. There is a reason why Canada abolished the death penalty, you know, it is because it's a disgrace to us. We are looked up to by other nations for our civil and humane way of living, unlike the U.S whose execution rate is higher than ever. Saying that "all COMPUT Monday 10th to Fri Pentium 3 128 Ram Windows 98 8 gig Hard Drive For more details come to LUSU murderers should • be eligible for the death penalty" and rehabilitation is "sissy" is not a good example of the values we share as a first world, civil country. Likewise, I'm not going to stop whining, you may have a right to your opinion, but I have a right to mine too, and I'm not going to shut up about it because you tell me too. The death penalty was abolished in Canada for a reason, and if you do not like it, I suggest you move to Texas. I'm sure you'll love it their. We Canadians have not built our reputation on showing our governments power over people or flexing our muscles, like the wonderful nation below us has. We help each other, not kill each other; because that is the kind of society we live in. People make mistakes; it doesn't mean they deserve to die for it. Sure, serial killers and dangerous offenders should never be released from prison, but killing them is not the answer. This is what makes us better than the United States. Re-instating the death penalty is not the answer to deter future crime ...

Had you read the poster more closely and found out the issues surrounding the event, you would know that men were encouraged to participate in Take Back the Night events, although not the walk, as it has its own reasons for not having men apart of it. I hope in the future you read more carefully and thus would know that men are not discriminated against at this particular event, nor did the GIC have any intention of doing so, I'm sure.

I have explained it in this cold bureaucratic fashion because that is how the government views marriage, not Marriage, a sacrament within a church. As I have already stated, the Supreme Court absolved all responsibility of any religious institution to perform marriage ceremonies they do not wish to. (This already exists; the Roman Catholic Church does not have to marry anyone who has been divorced.) I understand the religious argument that people do not support homosexuality based on their religious convictions but this is about law and rights not about religion. I understand that not everyone is in support of Equal Marriage but I ask that you look as it from an Equal Rights standpoint and put all else aside. If you would like to show your support more visibly, all next week in the Agora you can either volunteer or find volunteers handing out buttons, literature and petitions in support of Equal Marriage. Please do not hesitate to come down to Pride Central to learn more about Equal Marriage and discuss any issue. ALL are welcome regardless of sexual orientation or opinion. Thanks for your support and your commitment to Equal Rights, Richella Hyde- Pride Central Coordinator �8 January I) Argus Feature 10, 2005 11 George Lister/Argus It goes without saying that this is a dangerous world we live in. Sometimes it even seems like the planet itself is out to get us, a point reinforced by the deadly tsunami that struck Southeast Asia in late December. In fact, natural disasters have been greater mass-killers than any war yet waged or terrorist act committed. Consider the recent tsunami which left more than 150,000 dead so far and the number still nsmg. By comparison, that's more than eight times the number of people killed so far in the Iraq conflict, and forty-three times the number who died in 9/11. Tsunamis aren't the only natural disasters out there with the potential to cause a massive loss of lives. Here are a few of the threats that come from our very own planet (and one from beyond).

'I �1Q )/ Argus Editorial/Columns January 10, 2005 A word or two from the Editor . . Happy New Year All! So we are back to school and back irito the swing of things. I hope everyQDe had a relaxing break. I'm sure that for many people, upon seeing their friends for the first time after Christmas, one of the first questions asked was "What did you get?" A natural question I suppose. Now, I personally asked for nothing for Christmas. I did this as a protest against the consumerism that Christmas has become entwined with. Failing people not spending money on my behalf at Christmas I asked that the money be donated to a worthy charity so that others could enjoy Christmas and so that the money could be used to make the world a better place. Sadly, both of these requests were ignored. Why? Because the people buying presents for me felt it would be unfair ifpeople around me received gifts and I didn't ... despite the fact that I requested no gifts. Now, I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I appreciate the sentiment with which the gifts were given but for me, the . same sentiment could have been achieved with no money spent, or money spent on people that really need it. Now, I want you to think back and recall how many people may have complained about a gift they received over the holidays. Just think about that poor to begin with. They lacked for a second. How many people infrastructure so there is nothing forgot that they were with family to rebuild upon. UNICEF is or friends and that someone cared facing difficulties in its efforts enough to go get something for to provide adequate nutrition to them?

Twenty percent of the world's population consumes eight percent of the world's resources. We are part of that twenty percent. We are not doing enough to help the victims of catastrophes around the world. Sure, we are sending money and supplies to Asia now, but what about in a few months when the vast majority of the population forgets about tsunamis? I encourage people to give their support to the relief efforts now but I also encourage people to continue supporting change in the world. Do your research and find out where people are suffering in the world. Then discover how you can help make a difference.

There were some amazing bands that trekked far and wide, making their way here from all comers of the globe just to make us happy and play. The fall was kicked off with a bang, as it usually is, with lots of rock action. We saw homegrown heroes The Golden Dogs come back for a visit at the Apollo, The Illuminati with C'mon made waves, Billy and the Lost Boys showed us that girls know how to rock, and Dayglow Abortions proved they're still punks at heart. Warp 9 was jumping in October, with Planet Smashers and Staggered Crossing both putting on amazing shows. Stag X demonstrated that they remained true to their art form by going the indie route and starting their own music Iabel...but the biggest show Warp 9 has ever seen was yet to come. Billy Talent rocked th~ sox off of every sweaty kid in the mosh pit, and you could feel the intensity from wherever you were standing. Working really hard and giving it your all night after night really does pay off. It's a Cinderella story really, but after paying their dues for nearly ten years in the underground Toronto scene, the breakout single 'Try Honesty' grabbed people's attention, and it hasn't let go since. Billy Talent were the winners of Best New Artist at the 2004 Juno Awards, forcing people to stand up and stare. The local show took place on Sunday, October I 0th and unlike very few concerts by Canadian rock bands, was sold out a few weeks before the show. An amazing feat in itself, two other Canadian bands by the names of Metric and Death From Above I 979 were lucky enough to be the opening acts on this tour. They played in front of massive crowds across Canada, and were the perfect 10, 2005 11 ~ interacting with the music. Quite the opposite from the R.E.M. show, the vibe was one of eleGtfis , energy and positivity. Many classic Hip songs were played, which appeased the crowd, yet new gems were also thrown in for good measure and variety. It was then I remembered why the Tragically Hip are one of Canada's best live bands. East Coast band the Joel Plaskett Emergency played a solid set,.and had a line-up of eager fans patiently waiting after the: set to buy his album and chat with the singer-songwriter/guitar player. Detroit City native Royce Da 59 kicked off Bling Blj9.g Thursdays at Armani's with his hip-hop edge. Having at one time worked with Eminem and Dr. Dre, Royce brought along MC's June Johnson and K Vishiss for a little help on the microphone. Even though it was a short set, the crowd was very supportive and interacted well with the rapper, who dropped a few free styles. And th~ crowd went wild. Last but certainly not least, Gob played a free show at Warp 9 on November 26th • The show was part of an anti-smoking campaign put on by the Ministry of Health. We all got to hear the Gob songs we're familiar with and the kiddies loved it. I can't even remember the last tim~ a known band played a free show. Hopefully, if there is a next time, the place will be packed to the brim. Kudos to Vancity natives Gob for being part of such a good cause and using their popularity to create awareness.

Again. .• Conrad KoczorowskV Argus It was a night of opera and soccer at the 2004 World Player Galas in Italy. As the VIP crowd was overcome by the emphatic orchestra, some of the most inspirational players of the World Game walked across the stage, either as presenters of the awards, or as recipients. So all in all, there was a lot of 'samba' in the air that night. There are a few problems I have with the Gala. Perhaps my biggest problem is with the nomination of Ronaldihno to the top-prize, over Thierry Henry. Without going into an excessive The still a young player and could be recognized in future seasons. I think the biggest issue here is what tak"es . more precedence, club or international playing?

The Thunderwolves started the weekend off with a hard fought 72-67 victory, and were led by Ottawa native Lee Reckman, who scored 18 points coming off tlie bench. Kiraan Posey posted a double-double, scoring 13 points and grabbing IO rebounds. In what proved to be a close game, E.L. Adams perfect free-throwing was nothing less then stellar, as he went 8-8 from the line. After coming off an early season injury, Justin Dickens pulled down 8 rebounds in the win.
