Five o Westerns most promisingentrepreneurs made the cut orthis years The Next 36 one oCanadas most prestigious entre-preneurial leadership competi-

tions.The goal o the competition is

to help launch the careers o 36 oCanadas most promising and in-novative undergraduates.

From over 1,000 applicants, 64fnalists were selected to competeat the National Selection Weekendthis past weekend at the Univer-sity o Toronto or a spot in thecoveted Next 36.

At the end o the weekend, fve Western students were amongthose selected: Saumya Krishna,Danish Ajmeri, Nadeem Nathoo,Holly Smith and Ronen Benin.

The National Selection week-end consisted o a series o discus-

sion groups, keynote speakers andinterviews conducted by some o

Canadas top business leaders andbusiness proessors.

The fnal 36 students will spendthe summer at U o T in an en-trepreneurship bootcamp withclasses taught by guest lecturersrom around the world.

They will also work in groups

o our on a new business venture.Each group will be given $50,000in capital, mentorship rom busi-ness leaders and access to pro-grammers to invent, launch andsell a product or service or a mo-bile environment. The team withthe highest valuation o their busi-ness venture in August will win thecompetition.

While most o the groupshavent decided on their ventureideas, Nathoo noted his group hasdetermined the direction o theirproject.

[We have] agreed that thebusiness we create should havepositive societal implications, in-

stead o exploiting consumers,Nathoo said.

Not all the fnalists came rom abusiness background, or attendedthe Richard Ivey School o Busi-ness.

The whole weekend was agreat learning experience. All othe fnalists are incredibly talent-ed and intelligent people. I am ac-

tually studying physiology, so thisis going to be a very dierent andexciting experience, Smith said.

The program provides an op-portunity or students to expandtheir horizons and, according toNathoo, learn the skills needed orthe next generation to ourish.

Personally, I think this pro-gram is great motivation or stu-dents to realize their potential. Inone o my interviews I was asked,Why do you want to be involved with this program? Part o myanswer was that there is no suchthing as the right opportunity. Itis up to us as leaders o tomorrowto make right rom an opportuni-

ty, Nathoo said.

Thesis backlashat U o T

The University o Toronto is re-

ceiving backlash or a thesis sub-mitted by one o their students.

Jenny Peto, a U o T mastersstudent, submitted a thesis titledThe Victimhood o the Powerul:White Jews, Zionism and the Rac-ism o Hegemonic Holocaust Edu-cation.

In her thesis, Peto denouncedthe March o Remembrance andHope. During the march, studentstravel with Holocaust survivors tosee the locations o Nazi atrocities.

She created a thesis based noton an interview or any kind o re-sponsible act gathering, Carla Wittes, director o programmingor the Canadian Centre or Di-versity, explained. The centre runsthe march.

We were shocked and oend-ed by the thesis, Wittes explained.

While unable to comment onspecifc theses, U o T provost,Cheryl Misak, explained in a state-ment, O the thousands o MAtheses written at the University o

Toronto, in partial ulfllment odegree requirements, it is inevi-table that some will have elementsthat oend various individualsand groups.

In such cases, the universityis committed to allowing and en-couraging a ull range o debate.

Wittes noted she was given thethesis by several concerned sourc-es. She elt the claims in the thesiswere unreasonable.

Its possible to make alsestatements when you dont checkyour sources.

Misak explained the ability orstudents to interrogate subjectshowever they chose was embod-

ied in the statement o reedom ospeech by U o T.All members o the university

must have as a prerequisite ree-dom o speech and expression, which means the right to exam-ine, question, investigate, specu-late, and comment on any issue without reerence to prescribeddoctrine, as well as the right tocriticize the university and societyat large.

Wittes explained her organiza-tion was not going to challengethe students degree.

Elgin Hall residence was evacu-ated Tuesday morning ater highlevels o carbon monoxide weredetected in the building.

Sergeant Steve Dykeman oCampus Community Police Ser-vice said fre ofcials ound thecause to be snow piled up arounda urnace vent. The snow pre-vented the carbon monoxide apotentially deadly ume romventing outside properly.

London has received severaleet o snowall in the past 48hours, so fre ofcials had littletrouble determining the cause o

the gas buildup.Some o [the vents] arent

more than three or our eet o theground, Dykeman said.

Susan Grindrod, associate vice-president o housing and ancillaryservices, said fre ofcials, resi-dence sta and members o thePhysical Plant department havebeen checking all the outside ur-nace vents to prevent another oc-currence.

Yesterdays evacuation oaround 500 students and sta tookplace ater a carbon monoxide de-tector was activated in one o thebuildings units, prompting CCPSto pull a fre alarm as a saety pre-caution.

The students were evacuatedin an orderly ashion, Grindrodsaid, adding they were sent acrossthe street to Medway Hall whileElgin was being inspected.

Though the evacuation wentsmoothly and there have beenno reported symptoms rom thecarbon monoxide, this incidentserves a reminder o the potentialdangers o this common house-hold gas.

Two years ago, carbon monox-ide poisoning claimed the lives oan Ontario Provincial Police ofcerand her entire amily includingher husband and two children

in Woodstock, Ontario. The cause was a clogged chimney vent, butthe deaths could have been pre-vented i the home had a workingcarbon monoxide detector.

Just last week, members o allthree provincial parties voted insupport o a new private mem-bers bill to mandate the use ocarbon monoxide detectors in allOntario homes.

Ater a second reading lastThursday, the bill has now beensent to legislative committee.

The London Fire Departmentrecommends placing detectorsclose to bedrooms, and near theurnace room or other areas wherecarbon monoxide might accumu-late.

According to the LFDs website,carbon monoxide is produced bya variety o devices, including ur-naces, boilers, room heaters, hotwater heaters, stoves and grills.

Carbon monoxide is anodourless, colourless gas which isextremely toxic, notes the web-site. The gas produces an eectcalled chemical asphyxiation. Es-sentially, it leads to suocationas it lowers the bloods ability tocarry oxygen.

Symptoms o carbon monoxidepoisoning may include headache,nausea and atigue, but prolongedexposure to the gas can lead tobrain damage and death.

This gas has been dubbed thesilent killer since it is impossibleto detect without a carbon mon-oxide detector.

Fire ofcials recommend regu-larly checking carbon monoxide-producing devices and their ac-companying vents particularlyduring the winter.

I just went outside andchecked my own, Grindrod saidduring a phone interview rom herhome. Students in some o thoseold houses should do the same.

Disasters seem to have a way obringing out the best in people.

For many Western students,the storm brought out their innerchild as they grabbed caeteriatrays and bundled up to hit thehills.

For the London Transit Com-mission workers and city snowplow drivers, it brought out their

inner ice road trucker, with nerveso steel as they navigated the arc-tic-like terrain o local streets.

For others, it brought out aneven more heartwarming side: thegood samaritan.

On Monday, I made the mis-take o driving my car to campusinstead o braving the walk toschool. While my drive to West-ern wasnt too harrowing, the triphome was another story.

When I went to leave the park-ing lot, my exit out was blockedby a stuck car. The only other exit was blocked by a solid our eeto snow. Thanks to the help o acampus maintenance woman,

who helped us fnd a shovel, acouple o riends, and some help-ul strangers, we blazed a pathwayout o the lot.

But it didnt stop there. Whiledropping o some co-workerson the way home, my Corolla gotstuck again, this time on a down-town side street. Out o nowhere,two young men appeared andmanaged to push my car hal ablock to clearer roads. I didnt evenget to thank them, as stopping

could have resulted in anotherwheel-spinning disaster.

Twice, in the span o an hour,strangers came to my aid whenthey could have easily rushed oon their way out o the storm. Peo-ple Ive never met, and will likelynever meet again, were willing tobrave the cold to help me contin-ue saely on my way. My story isntthe only example o good deedsbeing done around London.

Later that evening, I witnessedan entire busload o passengers working to push an LTC bus outo a parking lot. Eventually, theygot the bus unstuck and were backon the road. According to the Lon-don Free Press, another Westernstudent had a similar experience

with his car Monday, when strang-ers came to the rescue and helpedhim use reusable shopping bags togain traction under his tires. Overthe last ew days, Ive heard count-less more tales o the same kind:strangers helping strangers to getthem on their way.

In the midst o panic and sel-centred concern like whetheryou have to write your exam a ew weeks closer to winter break there are still people out there withenough decency to lend a helpinghand to their ellow Londoners inthe midst o what, or most, is theclosest thing to a natural disasterthey will experience.

Despite all our aws and the

negative stereotypes oten associ-ate with Western students, we stillmanaged to come together duringa crisis and lend a helping hand.

All those who helped out theirneighbours during the storm, andto my own knights in shining ar-mour, you represent some o thebest examples the kindness thatcan still exist between strangers.

Lets hope that behaviour lastslonger than a single snow storm.

The altruism o disasters

Kaleido-scope

WikiLeaks has long been the recipient o strong criti-cism and vehement support. Its most recent criticismhas been directed at the large and widely indiscrimi-nate data dump o potentially sensitive inormationto the public orum. While, generally speaking, hav-ing too much inormation is better than none at all,

its questionable whether disseminating inormationin this manner serves the public good.

WikiLeaks purports to release inormation as-is,allowing the public to draw their own conclusions. Itsanother example o the internet sidestepping main-stream media, since WikiLeaks can post whateverthey see ft and become a new kind o media outlet.

People might be more inclined to trust this kindinormation because o growing cynicism againstmainstream media, but the repercussions o some othe inormation released by WikiLeaks is too grave tooverlook.

Though much o the inormation is generallymundane and useless to the public, little snippetscould lead to a diplomatic catastrophe between anytwo countries or groups. Proper diplomacy is neces-sary to avoiding international conict, and WikiLeakscould easily disrupt that by making one sensitive doc-

ument public.Some WikiLeaks critics suggest the best alternativewould be to hand over their inormation to a legiti-mate news source, such as more reputable newspa-

pers. They are, in the end, the ones relied on to sitthrough the inormation.

Trained reporters would be able to sit through thevast amounts o inormation to determine whetheror not it is in the public interest to publish it. Thatwould ocus everyones attention on inormation that

they should know, rather than an endless stream opointless or harmul material that is normally oundthrough the internet.

That would, o course, deeat the mission state-ment set out by Assange, which undamentally re-quires using means other than the mainstream me-dia. And while data dumps could lead to dangerousconsequences, WikiLeaks mandate seems to prohibitthem rom censoring the inormation themselves be-cause it would turn them into gatekeepers muchlike the people theyre keeping it rom.

The nuances surrounding the types o inorma-tion, the motives or releasing it and the merits omainstream media make it too difcult to strictlycondemn or condone WikiLeaks. What theyre releas-ing is, ultimately, just inormation inormationthat can be used as a orce o creation or destruction.Its up to the media, government and the individual to

treat it as such, understand the inormation providedand the context in which it is given and act accord-ingly.

Canadian music collective Bro-ken Social Scene is playing at theLondon Music Hall tonight. Mem-ber Charles Spearin took the timeto answer a ew questions aboutwhat the band has been up to andtheir uture plans.

What has Broken Social Scene

been up to since releasing For-

giveness Rock Recordin May?

Weve been touring prettymuch non-stop. We had a couplelittle breaks, but we pretty muchspent the last seven months onthe road. Weve been to Australia,Asia, North America, Europe threetimes its been non-stop travelbasically so its nice to be home.

Do you play mostly new songs

on tour or is the set list a mix?

Its a mix o old and new. When-ever I go to see a band Im always alittle disappointed when they playnothing but new songs. [I] Im aan o the band already, Id like tohear the new songs, but I wantthem to play the avourites.

Broken Social Scene tours ex-

tensively. Do you ever get sicko playing the same songs?

Sometimes, but you kind o fndways to have un with them a littlebit. It becomes part o the showrather than the song itsel it be-comes one o the building blocksto make a good show. I think itwould be dierent i we ever hada hit, but weve never had a real ra-dio hit, so it helps that we can playwhatever the hell we want. Its notlike we have one [song] t hat every-ones waiting to hear.

Broken Social Scene is a large

group. Many members, in-

cluding yoursel, have various

side projects. How do you fnd

time to make new music and

tour?

Its kind o what weve alwaysdone. Beore we were internation-ally invited beore we startedgetting invited to tour and stulike that we would just play allthe time in Toronto in dierentbands. We have a little bit more li-cense to play in other bands andbe ourselves a bit more, and thatsbeen really great and really helpulor the band I think. People havethe chance to collaborate and ex-plore their own ideas we justlive as musicians.

The band was recently short-

listed or two CBC radio 3

Bucky Awards or Best Video

and Best Lyrics. What does it

mean to you guys to receive

recognition rom Canadian in-

stitutions like the CBC?

The CBC has been hugely sup-portive o us. Beore we were Bro-ken Social Scene and I was playing[...] with Kevin Drew in KC Acci-dental, they would play our songsquite a bit. Theres a lot o greatmusic and a lot o great program-

ming. I think theres a healthy,symbiotic relationship.

The video you were nominated

or is Meet Me In The Base-

ment, which is a an-made

video eaturing ootage rom

the G20 summit in Toronto.

How did you obtain the video?

Thats a tricky question. Weknow the person who made it so it is a an, but theyre not com-pletely independent o the band.So it is kind o a band video, butat the same time not a band video.Its a collaboration o ideas, but we

didnt have anything to do with theactual video.

What was your reaction to the

video?

When the G20 summit hap-pened we were all on tour in Eng-land at the time and we were alltrying to fnd out what the hell wasgoing on in our city. [BSS mem-ber] Julie Penner was kind o mymain reporter she updated herFacebook page with all the clips o

what was going on. It was kind ohorriying to us to not be there. Sothe video did kind o come aboutrom our reaction. What are Broken Social

Scenes uture plans?

Next year were still going tobe playing, were still going to betouring, but not as extensively. Ithink were probably going to domore estivals and things like that.I know were going to be recordingand writing and making more mu-sic. We may fnd some way to sorto reinvent ourselves.

Westerns latest craze, Like ALittle, is warming up campus thiswinter by oering students a newway to irt anonymously by post-ing short descriptions o someoneyouve seen.

The site has managed to har-ness a high volume o Westerntrafc since its debut Saturdaynight.

The original Like A Little sitewas developed at Stanord Univer-sity in October, premiering at itsfrst Canadian location, the Uni-versity o Prince Edward Island, inNovember.

Liam Sauro, Danielle Clark, andMelanie Selvadurai are the co-ounders o the Western branch.

We decided to adopt and de-velop the site at UWO because, inour opinion, Western is the big-gest, most active and up-to-datesocial networking hub in Canada,Sauro explained.

The three ounders have beenworking to keep the site clean, fl-tering posts or names or vulgarlanguage.

The thing about social mediais it needs to remain upbeat andinteresting to maintain a ollow-ing, Sauro said. Sites like Cha-

troulette had the potential to goviral, but the hype quickly fzzledater the amount o proanity andinappropriate behaviour by theusers.

But Kane Faucher, a proessorin the aculty o inormation andmedia studies, isnt convinced so-cial networking sites such as Like A Little are without their aults,noting they orce participants toenter subjective details in a highlyobjective box-like ormat.

The need or sel-display is

paramount, even i the contento that display may not have sub-stantial merit, Faucher said. Italso provides the means to bepeeping toms in regards to all thetrivial minutiae o other peopleslives.

He concluded a reliance onvirtual communication has thepotential to degrade or inhibit in-person interaction.

Regardless, Sauro and the LikeA Little team are overjoyed at thesuccess o the site, which expand-

ed rom 40 ollowers on Facebookon Sunday at 3 p.m. to nearly 1,000by Tuesday evening.

We expect continued growththroughout the next ew weeks,and potentially the largest user-ship in the country by Wednes-day, Sauro said.

He noted the most requentposts have come rom bars suchas Jim Bob Rays and the BarkingFrog, Western residences, and thecampus libraries.

Although the generic emale,blonde, wearing Canada Gooseand Uggs, carrying a Blackberryand a Macbook posts seem tobe popular, each gender and haircolour have shown pretty equalstats, Sauro said. We do seem tohave a lot o male redheads, or justone ridiculously attractive one.

Sauro credited curiosity, antici-pation and boredom to the sitessuccess.

At Western, everyone is tryingto meet that beautiul guy or girl.This site is the perect way to get incontact with that person youve al-ways noticed on campus but beentoo shy to speak to.

rom the gold medal winning 2009Canadian squad.It will be an exciting experi-

ence or every girl to play amongstthe best in the country. I expectthat experience will help all ous, including mysel when I comeback to the Mustangs, Seedhousesaid.

For Seedhouse, this recogni-tion isnt just about her hard workon the ice, but about the teamaround her. She eels that the worko the Mustang womens hockeyprogram has allowed her to suc-ceed the way that she has.

My teammates and coacheshave been a big part o me gettingrecognized, and I am extremelyproud to represent them and theMustangs at the national level,she said.

While the Mustangs haventhad a stellar season as o yet, orthem, this announcement was anindication that their hard work

and coaching are putting them inthe right direction.

Im most happy about the rec-ognition or the Western womenshockey program we work ex-tremely hard all year round, andthat is something that gets over-looked by others who continue to

criticize us rom year to year, shesaid.

Weve certainly aced a lot ochallenges with almost an entirelynew coaching sta and 11 newplayers on the team. However, themore the season has progressed,the more the team has gelled to-gether. [...] We proved this withour [3-2] shootout victory overQueens on Saturday night, sheadded.

Seedhouse will join the Cana-dian team in January when theytravel over to Turkey. The tourna-ment ends on February 6, ater which she will held back to Lon-

don to lead the Mustangs in theirlast quarter drive or the playos.

We need to build on the en-ergy level rom this past weekend.The new year is a great opportuni-ty to come in with a positive out-look and a resh start to the latterhal o the season, she said.
