London wary of threat influenza posesHamza Tariq

GAZETTE STAFF

Official reports of cases of the dan-gerous H1N1 influenza strain have been increasingly reported locally and across the country.

The flu arrived earlier this year, hitting some areas worse than oth-ers, according to Nicole Versaevel, health promotion manager for Western’s health services. Ten deaths and more than 300 hospi-talizations have been reported from Alberta alone.

“According to Health Canada, the proportion of cases that are 20 to 64 years old is the greatest pro-portion, so that is a demographic change from previous years,” Versaevel said.

According to the Influenza Surveillance Report released by the Middlesex-London Health Unit, 51 confirmed cases have been reported from December 23 to January 5, of which 32 were hospitalized.

“Influenza is an illness that can be quite serious, for the very young to older adults. We are always vigi-lant as to its presence in the com-munity and we are always in contact

with our local health care partners,” said Tristan Squire-Smith, manager of infectious disease control at the Middlesex-London Health Unit.

“People should know there is a difference between the cold and the flu. Even though the symptoms are similar. With the flu the symptoms are fever, muscle aches, tiredness, cough, sore throat and headaches, whereas if you have a cold it’s pretty rare to get a lot of fevers and head-aches,” Versaevel said.

According to Squire-Smith, H1N1 is the flu strain that has been confirmed in the labs and the cases being presented.

“H1N1 has got a reputation. 2009 was the pandemic year and since then it has been a component of the flu vaccine and it is a component of this year’s flu vaccine. So that means this year’s flu vaccine has a very high level of protection,” he said.

According to Versaevel, the simplest things that can be done are washing hands with soap and water, and using hand sanitizers.

“Other things that can be done are cough and sneeze into your arm, covering your cough, disin-fecting common surfaces such as

telephones, keyboards, door knobs and such things,” she said.

Squire-Smith also emphasized similar precautions and asked that sick people should avoid preparing food for other people.

“It is difficult, but it needs to be over emphasized that people need to be reminded that if you’re sick

then stay home, don’t go to class, don’t go to work. People think that they are well enough to go, and then they’re coughing and sneezing and that is how it spreads,” he said.

Squire-Smith said that that they are available at the health clinic itself, at local healthcare providers, and at participating pharmacies. He

emphasized that there are no short-ages of the vaccine and it isn’t too late to get the flu shot.

“For students they can get a flu shot any time just by coming to health services, they can book an appointment, with a health card there is no cost to getting it,” Versaevel said.

Addison and Carter join Helfand’s slateRichard Raycraft

NEWS EDITOR

The first complete slate for the upcoming University Students’ Council elections has been announced.

Emily Addison, current presi-dent of the Huron University College Students’ Council, and Jen Carter, current president of the King’s University College Students’ Council, have announced their candidacy on Matt Helfand’s slate. Addison will be running for the posi-tion of vice-president internal, and Carter for vice-president external.

“I’m looking forward to it. I haven’t been this excited for

something since I ran for [Huron] president last year,” Addison said. “We got some good stuff coming and I’m excited to see what we can do.”

Addison, a third-year political science student from King City, Ontario, has been involved with Huron’s Students’ Council since her first year. She served as USC repre-sentative in her second year when she ran successfully for president, her current position.

Addison explained that she hadn’t thought of running until receiving a call from Helfand. Though the request for a running mate was abrupt, Addison said the connection was immediate.

“I think the thing that I really like

about us is that when one of us has an idea the other two are already thinking it,” she commented. “We’re very consistent and everything we say always comes back to students.”

It’s a sentiment that Jen Carter, a fourth-year criminology student at King’s, identified with.

“It’s hard in a slate to make you have a unified vision, but it wasn’t hard with Matt and Emily and I at all,” Carter said. “It just clicked so perfectly, so I’m very excited about that.”

Three city councillors calling it quits

Barring any unforeseen crisis in London’s future, city councillor Judy Bryant of the downtown ward will not seek re-election at city council when her term runs out.

She said she had no regrets being on council and she loved every min-ute with her constituents. She has been an avid supporter of term limits for councillors but she said nothing was on the horizon.

“[Though] I really hadn’t put my head into that yet. But I have always felt that an ongoing councillor over decades just doesn’t seem to me, to be sound. I think everybody has something to bring to the table and a certain amount of time to make

change,” Bryant said.“It’s definitely time we had term

limits and cumulative term limits, because we can’t have people going away only to come right back — that isn’t healthy either”

She also had harsh words for her colleagues on the council. “I feel that this council is somewhat stuck in the last century as their decision-making would indicate,” she said.

Bryant isn’t the only one bowing out of local politics at the end of her term. Councillors Joni Baechler and Nancy Branscombe have also announced they will not run for re-election at the end of the 2014 term. The next municipal election will be held on October 27.

SNOW BIG DEAL. The remnants of the weekend’s snowstorm were piled up in sky-scraping snowbanks across campus yesterday. But compared to the cold snap that followed, a little snow is no big deal. We’d rather take a foot of snow than another day as cold as Tuesday — With the wind chill, London was colder than parts of Mars.

First full USC slate announced

commissioner and a sociology rep-resentative at the KUCSC. Carter explained that she initially had no plans to run for president of the King’s Council until a suggestion from a colleague at a council meet-ing. She says her decision to run this time was similar.

“Honestly I hadn’t thought of running for VP external until Matt and Emily approached me, and I think that oftentimes you need that kick in the butt to know that that’s the path you want to follow next,” she said.

Though most candidates have been quiet about policy or initia-tives, Carter explained that her strong municipal connections would make her a good fit for the position, and that she thinks the USC should have a closer relation-ship with the City of London.

“What Matt and Emily came to make me realize is that I really do have the connections to be suc-cessful in this job,” she said. “I really want to see the USC branch out and improve on its relationship munici-pally, definitely,”

With Helfand, the former Social Science Students’ Council president, and two current affiliate college stu-dent council presidents, it’s hard to imagine a slate with more current or former constituents than this one — though Addison denied that the slate had been put together for this reason.

“Honestly, that wasn’t in our creation of it — that wasn’t the first thought,” she said. “It’s the skills that we all have and the ideas that we have.”

Students claim cold shoulder from Ivey

King’s opens student centre

Hamza Tariq GAZETTE STAFF

King’s University College kicked off 2014 by gaining complete autonomy, after 60 years under the Diocese of London.

“To be able to run and be respon-sible for all aspects of the institu-tion and to have a legal standing under provincial and canon law is really important to King’s,” said Dr. David Sylvester, principal of King’s University College.

King’s is joining an increasing number of church-founded uni-versities, colleges and hospitals in North America that have sought to become autonomous and independent.

Highlighting the changes brought about by the handover, Sylvester said even though the Diocese legally owned King’s, the running of the col-lege has been delegated to a board of directors since 1972. The direc-tors run everything including board meetings, government structure and personnel decisions.

The change in ownership process went through the provincial govern-ment, which granted King’s incorpo-ration under provincial legislation.

The Vatican also approved the change and King’s will still be rec-ognized as a Catholic institution.

“King’s didn’t just get civil incor-poration under provincial law, we got canonical corporation under Canon law, so King’s will remain recognized as a Catholic university,” Sylvester said.

Canon law is the set of laws and regulations laid down by the church for its member organizations and institutions.

According to Sylvester, the change in ownership cost King’s $4.1-million. This included the origi-nal 11 acres that were contributed by the Diocese, as well as Lampoon Hall, the first building that was built on the university college campus. A third party did the cost assessment before an agreement was made between King’s and the diocese.

“King’s is one of the best Catholic universities in Canada,” said Ronald Fabbro, Bishop of London, in a media release. “The incorpora-tion process is similar to what has happened with other schools and hospitals founded by dioceses and religious orders. It is my intent and hope that King’s will continue to grow and prosper.”

Fanfare along with green and white balloons filled the atrium as more than 100 students, faculty and guests inaugurated the new $14.7-million Student Life Centre at King’s University College.

While the Darryl J. King Student Life Centre was six years in the mak-ing, the event also marks the 60th anniversary of King’s University College. The centre is a hybrid between a social and academic hub while offering up some cultural benefits.

“The centre is meant to provide our whole community, faculty staff and students, with a place to gather in that important space between classes,” said King’s University College Principal David Sylvester.

“We’ve grown quite a bit over the last decade, and we’ve kept up with

classrooms and offices, but this is primarily a place where students can gather and talk about new ideas and meet each other,” he said.

$7.8-million of the funds were raised by the alumni and faculty while $1.2-million is expected to be raked in during the next year. The three-storey centre boasts a learn-ing commons and writing centre, several classrooms, fitness centre, seminar rooms, a 460-seat theatre and a two-storey fireplace to top it off.

“This is a really important com-ponent for providing students with that experience — it’s not just about classrooms and lectures halls, it’s about building meaningful relation-ships and talking with professors and students, and this centre will be a place for that,” Sylvester said.

The centre is being touted as green-friendly and features natural lighting, green roofing, water and

energy efficiencies as well as low-emitting materials.

The event was initially post-poned on Tuesday, in light of the record-breaking frigid temperatures that forced Western officials to can-cel classes and advise students to stay indoors.

The King Centre was named in honour to Darryl J. King, who donated a substantial amount towards the project. King gradu-ated with a history degree from the college back in 1997 and began a lucrative transportation business soon afterwards. In an event press release, he accredited his success and philanthropy to his experience at the affiliate college.

Event planners for the King’s centre capped off the afternoon with musical guest Texas King. King playing within King’s at King.

King’s takes over from London Diocese

Some Ivey HBA I students are upset because Ivey did not postpone yesterday’s ING Direct case com-petition despite the polar vortex warning on Tuesday.

The competition gave stu-dents 30 hours to complete a case before they submitted it online on Tuesday, and later presented it Wednesday.

Several students thought the competition should have been postponed given the extreme cold conditions Tuesday.

One HBA II student, who e-mailed The Gazette, thought Ivey was de-prioritizing student safety.

Mary Heisz, faculty director of the HBA program, e-mailed Ivey students twice regarding the severe weather’s impact on the case competition.

The first time was to inform stu-dents the competition would go on as planned, and to encourage them to work online from home.

“They had had a full day together the day before the snow day. Everyone was able to work vir-tually and we were quite clear that we didn’t want students travelling outside,” Heisz said in an interview.

The second e-mail was in response to concerns raised by students over that decision.

Some students were concerned about being pressured to travel to campus by competitive group members despite the severe condi-tions; some were concerned about lack of Internet access. Others reported being asked to leave the Ivey building by security.

However, Heisz said there was only a small number of concerned students who contacted her — under 10.

“Part of the Ivey HBA program is trying to simulate real life as much as possible. Adversity happens,” she

said.In addition, Heisz was adamant

that corporate interest played no part in Ivey’s decision to go ahead with the competition.

“The fact that the competition is sponsored by ING has absolutely nothing to do with whether you proceed with the competition,” she said.

However, some HBA I students were upset by Ivey’s decision even if they didn’t contact Heisz.

“I think we were all thought that it would be postponed, and when it wasn’t we were kind of thrown off. We should have gotten it off because we still are Western stu-dents. Ivey students are still part of the Western community, yet we didn’t get that time off,” a second HBA I student, who wished to pro-tect their identity, said in an inter-view with The Gazette.

But some Ivey students agreed with the administration that the case competition should have gone ahead as planned.

Jason Grossman, an HBA II stu-dent who toughed out the same competition last year, said the case could have easily been finished using Skype or Google docs.

“This is like real life […] it’s not an excuse to be lazy,” Grossman said.

Most services on campus were running during the day on Tuesday until 5:30 p.m., including the book-store, libraries, and recreation cen-ter, according to Keith Marnoch, director of media relations at Western.

Marnoch mentioned research labs and the student dental clinic as other grey areas that remained in operation despite classes being cancelled.

He said it was left at the faculty deans’ discretion to continue other activities outside of scheduled classes.

Editor’s Picks > The essentials for your week

ON DISC

Beyoncé

This happened before the break but it is still insanely relevant. The worker bees are in overdrive and the hive is abuzz with new music. Beyoncé decided to release a surprise album on a Thursday night at five minutes to midnight. No one knew about it. No one. The album also has 17 music videos. There is simply way too much to say about this self-titled album. Like, “Wow! The songs are actually quite good” or “She has a newborn child and is on world tour... how did she have the time” or “How can she just put a TED Talk from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in the middle of the song?” I think it’s completely understandable to suggest that this release might very well have changed the music industry — if Beyoncé didn’t need to promote an album and can still land at #1, why does anyone? Goodness, bow down everyone.

ON THE CHARTS

The Entire Soundtrack to Frozen

It’s a rarity — in fact it’s only happened four times in about 60 years — that an animated film’s soundtrack reaches #1 on the charts. Frozen has done this. Moreover, the strength of “Let it Go” by Idina Menzel has been pushing the success of the film even further. Audience members are frequently spotted leaving theatres humming along to this tune. It’s not just children that are infatuated with the music to Frozen either; it’s grown on adults and students too. Virtually everyone that has seen the film will tell you glorious things about it, including its soundtrack. In addition to the movie’s universal acclaim, the songs are good! With voices from Broadway like Menzel and Jonathan Groff (both of whom were on Glee), the songs will really stand out.

IN THEATRES

August: Osage County

Based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play that literally won every single award that a piece of theatre could possibly scoop up, August: Osage County is entering the film scene with high expectations. It’s clear that the movie will not even touch the play in terms of critical acclaim but it will undoubtedly be an acting showcase. Indeed, Meryl Streep will add to her Academy Award nomination count and finally reach infinity so good for her. August: Osage County features the type of dramatic family struggles expected of any Real Housewives franchise, but this movie will make it seem intelligent. Also among the film cast is Julia Roberts, who is apparently earning rave reviews for her role as Meryl Streep’s daughter. This movie screams Oscar — it probably won’t win any but it will still likely be good.

ON DVD

Runner Runner

Ben Affleck, you want to follow up the Oscar-winning best picture Argo? What ever will you choose to do? Well folks, he decided on Runner Runner, a film co-starring Justin Timberlake. Marketed as a crime-thriller film, the movie was not too successful at the box office. As a matter of fact, it was beaten by the sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. “That’s alright! Perhaps the film was critically acclaimed!” That would be woefully wrong as well. Runner Runner managed a paltry 9 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes. Only 9 per cent of critics determined it was a film worth the time to see. Now, with all these negative things, why would this be a pick for the week? Well, it might be fun to curl up under a blanket during this cold spell and experience the atrocity with which Ben Affleck followed up a Best Picture winner. Enjoy!

ON TV

10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty

OKAY! THIS IS AMAZING! It was perfectly normal to ponder writing this entire section in all caps because what the actual (insert explicit language) is this show? It’s literally devoted to sending people out to find Sasquatch. It is understandable — no, it’s expected — that anyone who hears about this series lose their shit about it. Wouldn’t it be scary NOT to watch for fear that Bigfoot would actually be captured on television and you would miss that? This is broadcasting on Spike, which is known to be the stereotypical men’s channel — but goodness. They should have got this on a reputable network like PBS or CBC or something. While some might dismiss the 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty as gimmicky, it’s not! Well, perhaps it is, but this is gimmicky that works. It is exciting. It will win awards and be profound.

American Hustle causes critical rustleBradley Metlin

ARTS & LIFE EDITOR

American HustleGGGGFDirected by: David O. RussellStarring: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lawrence

American Hustle largely succeeds in allowing its characters to have fulfilled journeys but ultimately teeters in execution as the main thematic points of the film become engulfed by a meandering plot.

Irving (Christian Bale) and Sydney (Amy Adams) are con art-ists who have fallen for each other and are determined to fund their lives with their criminal haul. Complicating this fairytale is their capture by FBI agent Ritchie (Bradley Cooper) who promises their freedom in return for their assistance in capturing politi-cians. This whole plot becomes complicated after Irving befriends Camden Mayor Carmine Polito (Jeremy Renner), one of the men he is trying to take down, and becomes riddled with guilt. Also, because seemingly their lives need more obstacles, Irving’s wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) and her crazed nature threaten their entire operation.

If the plot sounds complex, that’s because it is. Any summa-tion of American Hustle would likely cause a viewer to ponder their answer for fear of revealing too little or spoiling too much. This convolution does the film no

favours as its runtime is already a hefty 138 minutes. While mostly enjoyable, it seems completely reasonable to question when the film will be ending at least three times while watching.

The screenplay, however, makes the length worth the trek. While it definitely deviates frequently, the lives of each character are explored rigorously. Moreover, this is not merely a traditional heist film; there is comedy pep-pered throughout in large doses. From the “some of this actually happened” title screen that begins the film, American Hustle is firmly established as satirical. Even the characters, who are mostly cari-catures of real life people, enforce these ideas. Some might be thrown off by this element of the screen-play and dismiss this film as an ineffective crime movie but that would be much too simplistic — you’re supposed to think while watching this.

The caricatured performances prove successful as each actor delivers. Christian Bale is virtu-ally unrecognizable as Irving. He captures Irving’s tendency to internalize his emotions and not allow for outbursts. Amy Adams gives perhaps the best work of her career. There is always a degree of innocence to Adams and her char-acter of Sydney is clearly working to suppress this as weakness. It shines through and even though she is a criminal (and good at it), it’s easy to sympathize with her.

Of the supporting players, Bradley Cooper is having a ton of

fun. Perfectly capturing a char-acter who comes so unhinged by his own ambition, Cooper shines in a mostly comedic role. The per-former capturing the most buzz from the film is Jennifer Lawrence. Lawrence is good and incredibly funny as Rosalyn, but she is not given as much material as the other aforementioned characters.

Strong work, but it’s not the best.While David O. Russell man-

ages to draw performances from his actors to create in depth char-acter studies, his cinematography is questionable. He likes to explore with various shots — which some-times work but other times are odd. While it might look cool, there should be a purpose when

elaborately zooming into a char-acter to begin a scene.

A long run time and tedious plot could lead to many dismissing the film as overly long and confused. When embraced for its satirical elements, however, American Hustle is an incredibly success-ful film made salient by skillful performances.

Winter winds make for cool runnings

Mary Ann CioskARTS & LIFE EDITOR

This is the first year that I have dared to venture into the snowy, frozen outdoors to go running and I made a startling discovery: it’s not that bad. In fact, winter running has its own unique advantages that should per-suade sports enthusiasts and nov-ices alike to try it out.

First of all, and let’s not belittle the importance of this point, you look like a badass. Running after a heavy snowfall, I received numerous cheers and words of encouragement from strangers. With little to no training, you too can feel like Rocky.

Running in snow is also a more efficient workout. Like running in sand, with each step you must dis-place part of the ground as well as propel yourself forward. Although this makes running more challeng-ing, it also brings greater fitness gains. Running on loose snow burns more calories, strengthens stabiliz-ing muscles that are not used when running on harder surfaces and has a lower impact on your joints.

Outdoor running gives you a chance to revel in the season rather than cower away from it. Admittedly, walking in the cold can be unpleasant, but the secret that those who haven’t run in the winter don’t realize is that exercising out-doors is an entirely different expe-rience. With the elevation of your heart rate your body temperature increases significantly, allowing you to comfortably enjoy crunching your way through of an entire field

of shining white snow rather than viewing it as a potential for frostbite and amputation.

However, it is important to be prepared for a winter running excursion. In terms of clothing, a good rule of thumb is to be slightly too cold when stepping outdoors. If you’re dressed in clothing that is warm enough for walking you’ll certainly be overheated when you start running. Lined running tights, a long-sleeved t-shirt made of poly-ester or a comparable material (do not use cotton as this fabric retains moisture), and a wind-breaker jacket are essentials. Although special shoes are available for run-ning in the winter, a regular pair is adequate. In colder weather be sure to wear a hat, gloves and a sweater underneath your jacket.

Running in minus 10 weather is possible, albeit less pleasant, but when the temperature drops to minus 20 (or God forbid minus 40) it would be wisest to wait it out. Uncovered skin can have frostbite in a matter of minutes in severe cold. However, if you’re determined to brave the weather, be sure to keep every part of your skin covered — yes, that means wearing a balaclava if you want to preserve the appear-ance of your nose.

Although running on snow and crispy ice requires more care-ful movements in order to avoid slipping, this method of running is easily adopted. Just beware of the deceptively innocent-looking smooth, clear ice — black ice is extremely treacherous and should be completely avoided.

In following these simple precau-tions, you can triumph against the oppression of winter, take delight in the outdoors again and improve your fitness levels, all the while look-ing like a badass.

Resolving to live healthier in the new year

Seeking immunity to colds

Nicole JacksonCONTERIBUTOR

With a new year upon us it is once again time to establish resolutions for the coming year, providing an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth. The many benefits of creating a healthier mind and body extend to various aspects of our lives, which helps generate stronger relationships, a higher level of self-esteem and even increased academic performance.

Proper nutrition is an essen-tial part of optimizing individual health and can work to boost your immune system, helping fight viruses and reduce cold and flu symptoms. Consuming certain foods can provide the necessary nutrients to kick the common cold.

Colleen Gobert, professor in the Faculty of Food and Nutritional Sciences at Brescia University College, explains the role specific nutrients such as vitamin C play in strengthening the immune system.

“Vitamin C acts as an antioxi-dant for immune cells and helps to stimulate white blood cell func-tion,” Gobert says. “While evidence is scarce supporting that vitamin C can prevent the common cold, it contributes to immunity and may minimize the duration of irritating symptoms.”

While daydreaming of rest and relaxation may be an all too com-mon distraction during the winter months, reduced exposure to sun-light can have negative effects on one’s physical health, giving you all the more reason to book that long awaited beach vacation for reading week.

In the meantime on campus, consuming high sources of vitamin D such as fortified milk, soy bev-erages, orange juice and yogurt in

addition to fish and egg yolk, can enhance the immune system.

“A deficiency of vitamin D increases the risk of both infec-tious and inflammatory diseases,” Gobert says. “Zinc, an antioxidant trace mineral, is important and protects the body from the exter-nal environment.”

In the unfortunate event you do catch a cold, effectively combating an irritating cough, runny nose, sore throat and headache may become your number one priority. Zinc lozenges may help reduce the duration of these symptoms so you

can get back to normal student life.Lastly, stock up on yogurt.

According to Gobert, yogurt pro-vides healthy bacteria that help to enhance the immune system in key areas.

Proper nutrition, physical activity and adequate amounts of sleep are key to maintaining a healthy body and mind. As new year’s resolutions are put into prac-tice, habits begin to change and a chain reaction occurs fueling addi-tional changes to take place almost naturally, rejuvenating you for the semester ahead.

“Excuse me, could you please keep your calculator down?”

The request came from behind and startled me. The proctor smirked as she said it, as if she had caught me red-handed doing something criminal. My calculator was on a forty-five degree angle on the desk — I’d seriously draw a diagram if I could. Still shocked, I grunted and put my calculator flat on the desk and pecked at the numbers, like someone who doesn’t know how to type might on a keyboard.

My proctors, in my Huron exams particularly, were quite strict this year, running the room like some sort of exam boot camp. This didn’t bother me too much initially — it did lead to late start times, but we were compensated. I wasn’t bothered until that ridiculous calculator demand.

First-year economics isn’t exactly rocket science, but when I struggled on a question and held my calculator for too long apparently this was enough to arouse suspicion that I may have been cheating.

It was a very minor inconvenience, to be sure. What bothers me so much, though, is that throughout the whole exam period completely honest

students were treated like known cheat-ers. I’m an honest student, and I know for a fact that the majority at this uni-versity is, so why are we surveilled like criminals?

It seemed that the exam administra-tors were doing things like this just to show how tough on cheating they are, and not because they actually suspected it. We’re already forced to buy a $10 non-programmable calculator to avoid cheating — what could I have possibly been doing with my calculator directly in front of my face? Sending the Enigma Code? You’d think that if I had the deter-mination and skill to set up some sort of elaborate, numerically-based plot to cheat, I could get through a first-year economics exam and not have to cheat in the first place.

Economics, the very subject I was writing for at the time, heavily empha-sizes choice and the value of choices. I think Western and universities in gen-eral need to make a choice. It’s a choice on how far they are willing to disturb the learning experience of honest students to catch potential cheaters or flaunt their zero-tolerance cheating policies.

I’d like to emphasize again that I acknowledge my experience wasn’t that big of a deal, but it inspired me to consider an important question. I hate cheating as much as anyone for the most basic reason — because it’s not fair. One should be reminded, how-ever, that the reason national security and surveillance issues are arousing a lot of debate now is because sometimes the means go too far in reaching what’s fundamentally a desirable end.

Western has some serious trust issues

Just two days into the 2014 winter term, London, Ontario was hit with its coldest day since the 1940s. The Weather Network forecasted near fatal temperatures that were subsequently deemed unsafe for students. In response, Western cancelled Tuesday’s classes. While the majority of Western’s undergraduate student body enjoyed the day off, there were some who weren’t so fortunate.

Each year, Ivey business students take part in corporate-sponsored group case study competitions that go towards their final credits. Despite class cancellation, Ivey did not postpone the assignment, and instead urged their students to continue working from home on their case studies that would still be due on Tuesday evening — the day Western cancelled classes. Buildings on campus, however, remained open.

Many students felt that it was unfair for Ivey to ask them to continue working in conditions that had already been deemed unsafe for the school’s regular operations. In their opinion, a loss of a school day should have resulted in a postponement. Students later complained that Ivey refused to change the date due to pressure from corporate sponsorship.

Regardless of the weather conditions, students of the 21st century should be able to find other ways to communicate in order to complete their assignments. While we do agree that the situation at hand was inconvenient, the nature of the Ivey program prepares future business professionals for some of the most problematic, and stressful situations. There are no compensations for unexpected cold in the working world, and being at one of Canada’s top business schools, Ivey students should expect to weather even the worst of storms. Winter in London is known for its volatility — think 2010 exam-period snow-day.

Although students may have been restricted by their ability to meet as a group, an entire day without class should have given them more time to work on their case studies, remotely or otherwise.

The compressed Ivey schedule would seem to offer a higher risk scheduling conflicts if the case study was postponed, and if corporate sponsors were in fact a big influence, the aspiring business pros of Ivey should understand this pressure better than anyone else.

Mustangs go 2–1 at Martlet InvitationalWestern downed by host team in Holiday Tournament

Caitlin Martin NewnhamSPORTS EDITOR

Western’s women’s hockey team won two out of their three games in the Martlet Holiday Classic at McGill over the holidays, earning them second place.

The Mustangs’ success was likely the product of the month the women had off to train before the tournament, after completing the first half of their regular season with a tight 8–7 record at the beginning of December.

“We all came with the mind set that we wanted to start off the new year on a positive note,” Mustangs’ defenceman Brianna Iazzolino said. “Collectively, I think this, as well as the excitement we all had to be back on the ice with each other, was enough to lead us to our successful weekend.”

The team chemistry was evi-dent in Western’s opening game on December 27 against the Regina Cougars when they won 4–1. Mustangs’ goaltenders Olivia Ross and Katie Jacobs collectively blocked an impressive 39 shots.

Western faltered in their sec-ond game against the McGill Martlets, who hold the Canadian Interuniversity Sport title. Although the battle was hard-fought, the Mustangs let in three goals leading to their 0–3 loss.

“[What] I believe that game came down to was being able to produce a goal off of the other team’s few mistakes and the amount of shots on net. I don’t think we got as many shots as we needed in order to win, and we didn’t finish the chances we had,” Cassidy Gosling, Mustangs’ forward, explained.

Despite the loss against McGill, the purple and white ended the tournament on a positive note, defeating Moncton 4–1. Gosling had a notable hand in this victory with two goals and two assists to round off her overall four goals and two assists in the tournament.

Iazzolino and Gosling were awarded with places on the tour-nament’s all-star team.

“[For] my personal success I

would have to say my line mates, Stacey Scott and Ally Galloway, were huge contributors. With our aggres-sive forecheck we were able to put some pucks in the net and for myself it mostly came down to being in the right spot at the right time and being able to finish,” Gosling said.

The women’s success in the Martlet Holiday Classic have set them up with a positive attitude heading into this weekend.

“We feel as though the tourna-ment was a good starting point for us to get our minds in the right posi-tion to hopefully continue with this success moving forward,” Iazzolino said.

“For now we are just working on competing well for the second half of the season and securing a good playoff spot. From there we will take it step by step as a team in order to get to nationals,“ Gosling

continued.Western is heading into the final

half of the season with a distinct game plan, giving them the poten-tial to acquire a playoff berth.

“We hit a little bit of a rough patch late in October or early November — we lost one of our top defence-men,” Chris Higgins, Mustangs head coach, said. “I’m confident that this team is going to nationals this year.”

Changes for Leafs must come from withinCarlyle the cause for many problems Toronto faces

Aaron ZaltzmanASSOCIATE EDITOR

I hate hockey right now, which sucks because it’s the only thing I love.

Yes, things are bad right now for God’s Chosen Team (“Chosen” in this case implies they have been singled out for great suffering), as the team has only two regula-tion wins in their last 23 games. Worse, of their six other wins in that time, five were shootouts and only one was decided in overtime, meaning the team has only three

actual hockey wins since mid-November. The Toronto Maple Leafs have been a few random bounces away from being in the draft lottery rather than the playoff hunt, which they’re slipping out of.

Beyond their record, the team hasn’t looked good. Their offence has dried up, and their GA/G has gone up 50 per cent over the last half of the season. More worry-ingly, the underlying numbers suggest that this isn’t just a rough stretch, and that this may repre-sent what the Leafs are actually capable of. Most of the decline has beesn due to luck running out (regression of the team’s shooting and save percentage) rather than a decrease in quality of play. So the question remains: How does the team fix itself?

Truthfully, the only way to fix

this team might be with a time machine, which would allow them to fire Carlye and keep key pieces like Grabovski, rather than anchor-ing themselves to long-term medi-ocrity (Cough! Clarkson). However I’ll take a look at two realistic options for fixing the team. I won’t propose trades or signings because of the unfeasibility of transactions in the league, so instead I’ll focus on internal changes.Coaching Change

Not all the Leafs’ problems are Carlyle’s fault, but I think a good chunk of the issue comes back to him. His collapse and grind system, however it might work elsewhere, is not a good fit for a speed and skill team like Toronto. And if the players look like they’re not working hard enough, it seems likely that some of the blame can

be put on the coach who seems to be hated by a good chunk of his ex-players. Whatever the fundamental problem, under Carlyle the Leafs have been out-possessed (29th in the NHL) and out-shot (dead last) in nearly every game. There’s just no way a team can expect long-term success playing like that, as evidenced by the terrible quarter season we’ve seen in the last two months. If Carlyle isn’t willing to change his approach to both sys-tems and player management, he absolutely has to go.Play the Young Guys

Carlyle has made several lineup decisions that can be generously described as idiotic. Decisions forced by injuries (e.g. Bolland) are one thing, but there is absolutely no reason to dress a Colton Orr, or any other useless player that’s

going to only play four minutes a night and at best make no dif-ference. The Leafs have an abun-dance of decent AHLers who could form a competitive, energetic fourth line. Any three of Holland, D’Amigo, Ashton, or even McKegg or Lievo, could make up a fourth line that you could trust with solid ice time. It’s also time for a shakeup on defence; Paul Ranger and Mark Fraser are nice stories, but terrible defenders. Meanwhile, TJ Brennan is leading the Toronto Marlies in points as a defenceman, and is sev-enth overall in AHL scoring. The fact that he has yet to suit up for the Leafs is a travesty.

The Leafs may have tied them-selves into knots in the offseason, but they have to try something to salvage the season to avoid taking a giant step backwards.
