See Cellscapes from Nov. 20 to Nov. 25
Jordan sloggett
Professor Jaideep Mathur and his team at the laboratory of plant development and interactions have developed an exhibit titled Cellscapes where art meets science in a symphony of light, colour and form. The exhibit invites the public to witness the inner workings of plant cells through beautiful images and time-lapse movies. They were also meant to captivate the mind and fuel the imagination while educating about the world of the living cell. Mathurs lab in the department of Molecular and Cellular Biology works in three major areas of plant biology: cytoskeleton and cell morphogenesis, plant interactions, and live cell visualization and organto develop these images into an offshoot of the science aspect. When youre looking at something that most people in the world have no experience with, something a thousandths the size of a millimetre, the mind boggles. We get to a scale where a lot of people just cant appreciate it but thats what the tax payers money is paying for. Mathur has always believed the importance of being able to explain his research. My attitude has always been that if I cannot actually tell about my research to the public, and really educate them about what Im doing, then its not really worth it. The fascinating and beautiful images in the exhibit were developed through a number of different biotechnology techniques. What were doing is taking things from the cells of jelly fish, sea cucumbers, bacteria, human and mice, and then were putting all these things back into a plant actually creating a chimeric organism, that doesnt exist in nature. The purpose of these techniques is to induce the plant cell to incorporate different colours into its tissues and cells. Other than chlorophyll and a few other pigments, your average plant cell isnt very colourful. And now we can start seeing what is going on inside. There is plenty of information available for those interested in the science behind the exhibit. Ive tried to create a situation where those who are interested in what theyre seeing will be able to understand what was done to create it. Many of the researchers (now turned into artists) who were involved in creating these images, will be there to answer questions as well. Most of the life sciences are about figuring out how something works, what life is about, said Mathur. We can live without a mobile phone many of us used to in fact, and we can live without a transistor, but if something goes wrong with a living cell thats a disaster. When were looking at the fundamentals that make up biology, thats when it becomes exciting. For Mathur, a traditional artist himself as well as a scientist, plants are his lifes passion. Research can be an immensely satisfying experience. I have

News recently broke that Hostess Brand Inc. is going out of business after the companys ability to make its products, which includes Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Wonder Bread and Natures Pride, was crippled by striking workers who couldnt come to an agreement with the company, and it filed for bankruptcy. Striking workers were warned of this possibility, but the deadline for an agreement passed to no avail. 18,500 jobs across the United States may be lost as a result of this closing, though there have also been more mediation talks. The Ontarion: Have you heard about this news story, and do you think that its important? Megan stewart, first year student: I didnt.

The president just got reelected, and theyre supposed to be promising more jobs. Jacqueline Morris, student: Yeah, I heard about the issue. I think its relevant just because of all the jobs that are being lost, and its a pretty big company thats been around for a really long time, so its relevant that its disappearing now. The Ontarion: Is it important for you whether you can continue to buy these brands? Ms: I dont know, I think its one of those things where when these things arent on the shelves, then people would start wondering, Oh, wheres Wonder Bread? Then, maybe, people would get interested, but right now in the preliminary stages, I dont know if people would really [care]. Like, I didnt know until you told me, and I havent heard about it from anybody else. The Ontarion: Do you think that this will personally affect you or Canadians?

elle dynamics, the latter being the focus of the exhibit. Mathur explained the origin behind the Cellscapes exhibit. Over the last 25 years Ive been giving out a lot of images, mostly in situations where people wanted to use our illustrations in books or on journal covers, and in the classroom. Mathurs research is devoted to linking the internal working of a plant cell to its exterior form and function. The researchers in his lab use state-of-the-art live imaging techniques to create the images that will be on display in the exhibit. We are actually, if not the top, one of the top labs for live imaging of plants in the world, said Dr. Mathur. The idea was

Without plants, we and the entirety of the animal kingdom would not be here. There are plans in the works to make the artwork available for people to buy. If anything is sold we want this money to come back into research. This is a by-product of our research, so any money made from this should go right back into funding more of it, said Mathur. I am not interested in making a profit, I dont think in terms of money much. We want people to be able to look at and appreciate something they see every day in a whole new way.

The Better Planet Student Council discussed the project wit students in Branion Plaza.
said Summerlee, adding that the project has aimed to illustrate exactly what faculty, staff, and students do to a broader public. Several controversial points were brought up during the event, such as the belief that the donors dictate what the university does with the money. Summerlee described instances where the university did not want to be associated with a donor and refused their gift because their ideas did not align with that of the universitys, like when Imperial Tobacco offered money to the U of G. Watty also addressed a popular misconception concerning the project before the caf. There are policies in place and major legalities on who we can accept money from, and how we use that money[Donors] are certainly involved with that money because theyre giving it to us, but we come to a general agreement and we have legal terms and conditions on to how we use that money. The senior administrators and Summerlee ended the conversation on a student-oriented noted by promoting student participation in the project. The president encouraged students to contact him or talk to the student council to let them know about how theyre making this a better planet.

Emotional and thought-provoking events take place during Peace Week
alicJa grzadkowska
The Multi-Faith Resource Team (MFRT) recently had their hands happily full with organizing events for Genocide Awareness Month, Holocaust Education Week, and Diversity Week, which all took place under the banner of Peace Week. Many other groups on campus also took part, including the Student Help and Advocacy Centre, the Guelph Resource Centre for Gender Empowerment and Diversity, Guelph Hillel and ECM-Campus Ubuntu. From Nov. 12 to Nov. 16, numerous events were held to celebrate the initiatives of the different awareness campaigns. We started off Peace Week right here, [at Raithby House], and we had a peace vigil, said Marty Molengraaf, a member of MFRT and an organizer of many of the weeks events. There were prayers from different traditionsand prayers for peace. The vigil took place overnight, with students participating in the vigil until 9 a.m. the next morning.
Genocide awareness took place as part of Peace week, alongside Diversity week.
An African drumming circle was another event held during the week, and drew attention to the connections between people. The teaching there was [that] the drum beat itself is something that is similar to all of us [and] ties in with our heartbeat, and recognizes our connection to each other in terms of our humanity, explained Molengraaf. We talked about Ubuntu in respects to that; our shared sense of humanity, that were all connected together. With the help of the Central Students Association (CSA), Student Volunteer Connections (SVC) and the World University Service of Canada (WUSC), MFRT held an event on campus that focused on Emmanuel Jal, a child soldier from the Sudan, and his story as a youth in war. Jal is a hip-hop artist who first became popular in 2006, and has since become a humanitarian advocate. In 2008, he launched the organization Gua Africa, and in 2010, began his most recent project, We Want Peace, which celebrates and supports, through music, the maintenance of world-wide peace. Holocaust Education Week also involved some on-campus events. On Nov. 14, Guelph Hillel brought in Gershon Willinger, a Holocaust survivor, to speak at Eccles Centre.
Likewise, on Nov. 13, the CSA Human Rights Office organized a talk with Darfur advocate, Glen Pearson as part of Genocide Awareness Month. Pearson, a Liberal MP for London North Centre, shared his experiences in Sudan during the talk. According to Molengraaf, the purpose of the week was to raise awareness in terms of peace and the celebration of peace stories, but also to help people recognize that war is not a way to create peace. Molengraaf also said that there was an emotional response to the week, as well as in general, great feedback from those who participated. People were deeply moved by each of the events, [like] Emmanual Jal. [As] someone who had experienced so much horrific violence in life, to be able to choose to do something different rather than to enact that violence on others was really quite incredible. MFRT has already started looking at initiatives that extend beyond Peace Week, and ways to sustain the message of the week throughout the year. Were looking at trying to spread out peace initiatives throughout the whole year to try to keep the idea of peace as an option for people to work towards, said Molengraaf.

Investing in original artwork is not something that may seem immediately feasible for most students, when even a small painting by their peers could be reasonably sold for hundreds of dollars. This is an issue that forces art-making and buying to be seen as an exclusive activity for only those that can afford it. But since the 1950s, the concept of small, affordable artworks has manifested in the practice of creating artist multiples, which is exactly what was presented in Limited Unlimited in Zavitz Gallery during the week of Nov. 12. The show, put on by the 16 students in Dave Dyments class on the subject of artist multiples, transformed the gallery into a temporary art boutique, complete with a striped storefront awning, cash register, and paper purchase bags printed with their logo. The store was open all week for the public to peruse, and the grand opening was held on the Monday evening, where over $600 was made. The store showed a wide range of works, from Tyler Muzzins affordable $0.50 matchboxes (each box containing one match and a set of instructions directing you to light the matchbox on fire) to Yusuf Rahamatys prized collection of Please Do Not Touch signs, each stolen from a different art gallery around the world, and each being offered for $100. (Incidentally, one sign mysteriously and inexplicably vanished at some point during the show...) The collection of items for sale also included postcards, small sculptures, bookworks such as Zoe Calas End Note (beautiful hand-bound books displaying images of the pink striped ends of receipt rolls), whimsically hand-crafted items like Graham Ragans Confession (small bottles containing a mixture of the entirety of Ragans cologne collection), and even charming gift ideas, such as Vikki Dziumas universal distinction, a prize ribbon matching the average colour of the universe as deduced by NASA, which can be awarded to oneself or others, to distinguish an individuals participation in existence. Purchase was not required for every piece, as Brittany Hartleys World Piece was obtainable through fair trade. To receive one of the small paper cubes, which were constructed from old atlas maps, one was required to give up an item that they felt

was a fair trade, and place it on the provided shelf. Throughout the opening night the cubes diminished, but the piece gained interest based on the collection of items being left behind. Buyers traded pocket items like pens, an elastic, a green feather, a packet of gum, a bent Scotiabank card, a condom, an I.O.U. note, and then even began trading other art pieces like Muzzins matchbox and another one of the cubes itself. The show was a tremendously exciting divergence from the generally interesting but ultimately predictable nature of routine Zavitz exhibitions. The dedication and creativity of those involved was apparent not only in their individual works but in the presentation of the store itself. As every successful business does nowadays, Limited Unlimited created a website for the exhibition that will remain active now that the show is over. The entire collection of artworks can be viewed, including those that may have sold out during the show, at www.limitedunlimited.ca.

16 w w w.t h e on ta r ion . c om sports & HealtH tigercats to call alumni stadium home
The Hamilton Tigercats of the CFL have tentatively agreed to play next seasons home games in Guelph
chris mller
The morning of Nov. 20 witnessed an information leak out of Hamilton regarding the Tigercatss plans for next season while their stadium is being renovated. That information that Hamilton is intending to use Alumni Stadium as their home venue next season prompted an impromptu media event at the home of the Guelph Gryphon football team. The deal is outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding between the Hamilton Tigercats of the Canadian Football League and the University of Guelph. Essentially, due to major reconstruction at Ivor Wynne Stadium, the current home of the Tigercats, the team was left without a home field for next season. Looks like the Tigercats got wind of the house the Gryphons built in Alumni Stadium. The newly renovated facility, home of a video scoreboard and professional-grade playing surface, became an attractive option for the displaced Hamilton franchise. Its going to be great to play out here, it looks very nice, said Marwan Hage, a defensive lineman for the Hamilton Tigercats. I hope it brings a lot of good experience to the players here at Guelph. Hage explains that the Tigercats worked to ensure the location was as close as possible to Hamilton ensuring the loyal fans that make up Tiger-Town would still be able to enjoy their favourite team. Consideration was given to McMasters football stadium, but the logistics of installing additional seating and the necessary infrastructure of a professional game deemed the Hamilton location unsuitable. Making Guelphs newly renovated facility suitable for the professional game (and the fan-fare that follows it) will include the temporary installation of additional seating on the opposite side of the existing grandstand, which could nearly double Alumni Stadiums capacity. Considerations for the Tigercats corporate sponsors are also being considered, including the possibility of removable ads on the playing surface, a licensed beer-garden area, and additional advertising space for television broadcasts. Concerns about the players locker rooms, weight facilities, and classroom areas are also being addressed. Parking, crowd management, and security are issues the university is working to rectify.

Offensive lineman Peter Dyakowski (left) and teammate Marwan Hage stand at midfield in Alumni Stadium.
Its important to note that the CFL season runs throughout the OUAs season, and the logistics of facilitating both teams in the same venue could prove difficult. However, the Gryphons are focused on the unique experience of sharing a stadium with a professional team an opportunity they will look to take full advantage of. A lot of us aspire to be in the CFL one day, so its a great opportunity to pick [the professionals] brain, see how they work out, and things like that, said Gryphon linebacker John Rush. Rush didnt express any concern on the logistics of the teams new arrangements at Alumni Stadium, but suggested that certain things could be done to make the situation a little more manageable, such as frontloading Hamiltons schedule with home games before the OUA season starts (the CFL season starts on Canada Day). The exposure of the university and the facility certainly isnt going to hurt us, explained athletic director Tom Kendall. The university stands to benefit financially from this agreement, as a contribution to Guelphs Building Potential campaign is reportedly associated with the agreement. The university doesnt feel this agreement will impede on any of the universitys athletics programs. The excitement of the agreement could be felt throughout the Gryphon football program and the athletics department as a whole, and this unique opportunity is sure to benefit the school as a whole through nationally televised exposure to the stadium and campus.

Published in The Ontarion on Jan. 23, 1969. Girls hockey is better than you think, begins the article accompanying this photo of the 1969 Gryphons hockey team. That year the Gryphons lost only their first regular season game, finishing the rest of the season undefeated and proving to be a potent rival for the reigning WIAU champions, the University of Toronto Varsity Blues. Though the women had to change their skating style from figure skating to longstride skating, the teams biggest challenge was convincing fans that womens hockey was worth watching. As the author of this article, Rick Turnbull, admirably pointed out, a number of players on the team had skills that left their counterparts, the male Gryphons, envious. Hindsight really is a privileged view. I have a bone to pick with past Ontarion sports writers and even a few rare sports fans today. Lets dump the pet names please Gryphonettes, Lady Gryphs and call these athletes what they are: Gryphons.

to these (often) temporary facial companions. For most, just keeping it clean should be enough. If the moustache

opinion 24 w w w.th e on ta r ion . c om Canada must be condemned for its support of israel
Peter miller
War today brings more deaths to civilians than to soldiers. Populations are bombed with the buzzing of drones overhead. Palestinians in Gaza are facing air strikes and strikes from military ships off the coast as this article is being written. There have been 80 deaths in the most recent offensive from Israel called Operation Pillar of Defense. 77 Palestinians and three Israeli civilians have died. Over 600 Palestinians have been wounded, including children. On Nov. 5, a 20-year-old man, Ahmad al-Nabaheen was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers when he wandered close to the IsraeliPalestine border. Then again, on Nov. 8, a 13-year-old boy playing football in front of his house was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers. The wounding of four Israeli soldiers at the border on Nov. 10 came after these triggering events. On Nov. 14, two days after Palestinian factions in Gaza called for a truce, Israel assassinated the leader of the Hamass Military wing, Ahmed Jabari. Israel has called up 75,000 army reserves in order to build up along the southern border of the Gaza strip. There is growing worry that Israel will go on a ground invasion into Gaza. This offensive from Israel comes close to election time, when the ultra-right wing Israeli Government wants to use war for political gain and to push Israeli citizens to the right. It also comes with the growing threat of war between the West and Iran. Since June 2007, Gazas population of over 1.5 million has been under siege and isolated from the outside world. Vital resources like building supplies, medical supplies, mechanical parts, fuel, and clothing have been prohibited from entering Gaza. Food has even been restricted to the point where Gaza civilians are given barely enough to live. According to a UN report in 2009, 75 per cent of Gazas population is food insecure. The blockade is a form of apartheid and collective punishment being forced upon the Palestinian population by Israel. According to OXFAM, hospitals experience power cuts lasting for eight to 12 hours a day, 25 to 30 per cent of Gazas households do not receive running water, 80 per cent of the water in Gaza falls below World Health Organization standards, and 95 per cent of industrial operations in Gaza have stopped because of the lack of electricity, production materials, and an ability to export goods. According to the Red Cross, 30 per cent of the Arable land in Gaza lies within a buffer zone beside the Israeli made apartheid wall. The Red Cross also reports that Palestinians who attempt to farm this land are often shot at. Canadian relations with Israel must be condemned. Canada is a strong ally of Israel and supports the blockade on Gaza, as well as Israels apartheid regime. Israels actions fall under apartheid. The United Nations Convention Against Apartheid defines apartheid as, Acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them. One characteristic of apartheid is the denial of the right to life and liberty of person for a group of people. An attack against this right is happening on a huge scale right now for

I came to university for the ideas, not the grades. There is something wrong with this institution, born of industry and not innovation. We celebrate a stretch of rhetoric, the bell-curve and pandering here; this is the relationship between teacher and student. Im for free education. However, Im against the declaration of fouryears-spent. Thats what a degree is, a declaration to your aunts and uncles that you completed something. You crawled through those boring economics classes, accounting tests. Youve read Heidegger and Chaucer and you know how string theory works, kind of. There is a problem with this. The problem is not that my liberal sense of education has its own benefits which is true the problem stems from the system of imposed substance much of education has become. The problem is what has evolved from the great idea of common education into an expected relationship between student and teacher. Its important for your profs to like you. If they do, they can write you letters of recommendation, help you get into post-grad programs and of course, Im sure it helps when it comes to marking the ill-constructed essay you wrote the night before. This is pandering, and it is inescapable. The truth is, we are people and relationships shape who we are. We all are part of a human-run system of education. However, the way in which we interact (teacher and student) needs an overhaul. Cramming for exams and ad hoc essay writing should not be what our education hinges on. Ive had many profs who understand the problems of the standard exam structure. This accounts for the rise of take-home exams and critical summaries in classes. What is the problem here? This system of education does not lend itself to learning, it lends itself to back slapping and pandering. We, the students are at fault for this, as a lot of us do not want to learn, we just want to be told we are right. We aim at reinforcing our own ignorant ideals, even if that stifles, new, creative ideas and thoughts. How many times have you shoe-horned your own personal beliefs into an essay, even though it did not merit it? This isnt learning; its reinforcing non-progress. I am a philosophy major, and truth be told, I took it to learn how to argue against religion, because at my core, I think religion is stupid. However, in more travels in the philosophic arts, Ive learned that maybe Im just an asshole. Maybe my ideas arent very good. Maybe Im just full of hot air, ignorant and insensitive to the thoughts and values of others. Ive learned all this from my time at school. But that came from a string single person (i.e. the aforementioned of bad marks and failed assignments. syllabus). I say, make education free, Sure, Im learning that I didnt give my but take away the superfluous titles profs what they wanted. Im learning and diplomas that come with it. how to conform.

You get learning to go to office hours, to put to be an intelligent person. You get to a face to the name so the next time be better. You get to feel like your grey it comes up on an exam, its not just matter isnt being wasted. You get to a name, its a persons future. Ive understand. You get an appreciation learned to be out-spoken in class so the for the machine we live in. You get no teacher knows who I am. Ive learned debt.

stores participating in Black Friday door crashers demand a specific culture of gift giving that necessitates purchase.
cheap commodities in order to usher consumers into their fluorescentglowing aisles of knickknacks and thingies to pile sale items into gaping shopping carts that conveniently hold lots of doodads. In response to Black Friday and the related orgy of consumerism that follows, Vancouver artist Ted Dave founded Buy Nothing Day a day held annually on the same day as Black Friday. The day asks consumers to halt yielding to a consumerist tradition and consider the issue of over-consumption by resisting
BArBArA krUGer
Barbara kruger reinvents French philosopher ren Descartes famous quote cogito ergo sum (i think, therefore i am). She critiques our materialistic society as being defined not by what we think, but what we own.
commercial attempts to persuade consumers into purchasing specific items marked at lower prices. Many argue with the logic of Buy Nothing Day, considering Black Friday to offer more affordable shopping at a time that demands spending, but theyre missing the point. While its hard to measure exactly how effective Buy Nothing Day really is, theres something praiseworthy in its objective. While many criticize the movement, claiming that many participants will simply take to the malls and big box stores the next day (and those detractors might be accurate in some cases), it is notable that the movement does something positive in striving to remind consumers to be conscious of the very culture supported by participating Black Friday stores: by branding the day as an opportunity for affordable holiday gift shopping, stores participating in Black Friday door crashers demand a specific culture of gift giving that necessitates purchase. The Ontarion wont ask you to adhere to the writs of Buy Nothing Day; rather consider that there are other options out there if youre short on cash and you want to give the people around you something special this holiday season. Take a look around the house and see if theres something lying around that someone you know might benefit from more than you do, and explore your talents to see if theres something personal you can create, or a good deed you could do for the special someones in your life. Black Friday might be a good time of the year to anticipate the holidays; just remember that theres no purchase necessary.
