Domestic The enrollment dilemma

speaks out
emily kreiberg

CALGARY (CUP) — Anna met her first

boyfriend when she was 15. They at-
tended the same junior high school and
had friends in common. They got to-
gether at a house party in Grade 10 and
dated for the next 18 months.
“He was the leader of the group in
high school,” said Anna, whose name is
withheld here for privacy. “He was an
aggressive person, but I was young
enough to think it was cool that he was
the boss.”
On their six-month anniversary, he
gave her a promise ring and a dozen
roses. Eleven roses were real and one
wasn’t. When he gave them to her he
said, “I will love you until the last one
dies.” It was then that their sexual rela-
tionship began, and their interaction be-
gan to change.
The first violent incident was at a
house party.
He revealed a secret between them to
their friends at a gathering, which upset
Anna. When they fought, he threw one of
their female friends onto the bed and
punched a hole in the wall.
“After that, the floodgates opened,”
Anna said. “There was a lot of verbal

Same Old New Songs Full Contact

Jason Collett reinterprets his own Cabaret

Regina’s Pile O’ Bones Derby

demanding and all-female sport
has seen a rapid growth in pop-

something that could be partly

a&c writer
It’s odd to think of someone who’s played
with as many as ten other musicians on
stage in Broken Social Scene embarking
on a tour that features only one man, but
that’s exactly what Toronto musician
Jason Collett is doing to support his latest
solo record, Pony Tricks.
His cross-Canada tour, dubbed the
Undressed Tour, features a lone Collett
and an acoustic guitar. “For years now
I’ve been doing solo shows, and people
seem to ask if I have anything representa-
tive of that, and I’ve never had that. The
idea was to have [Pony Tricks] as a com-

panion piece for the tour.”
There is a vast difference in perform-
ing the songs live sans backing musicians
as opposed to performing with others.
“It’s far more intimate ... and there’s a
vulnerability that allows for more inti-
macy. It’s starkly different. You’re really
getting down to brass tacks, and the songs
have to stand on their own because
you’ve got nothing to dress them up with,
hence the name of the tour. I feel really
lucky as an artist to be able to do this, but
also to turn around and go back to play-
ing with a band ... I love the freedom of
being able to go out alone, to change a key
to suit the mood that I’m in that moment
that night, and also the guilt-freeness of
being able to tell long stories without hav-
ing to deal with a band getting antsy ...
I’m very happy to have a foot in both
worlds.”
Collett describes Pony Tricks as differ-
ent from his previous releases. It’s “a
small record in the sense that it is reinter-
pretations of the back catalogue. There
are only a couple of new songs, and it’s a
very stripped down affair.” At first glance
one may think that it’s redundant to re-
record songs that have already been re-
leased, but Collett disagrees.
“I was a little reluctant to get around
to doing it, and I kind of left it to the last
minute. We’d already announced that I
was going to have it, so I had to [chuck-
les], but it proves to be really fascinating.
The whole process of writing, the whole
how random it is. The original recordings
are ... random occurrences. What hap-
pened that day that went to tape was af-
fected by who showed up at the studio,
by who could come in the first place, what
you ate for breakfast, how much traffic
there was on the way to the studio. All
these things, they affect the shape that the
song ends up taking ultimately. So, you
push that to a different day, or years later
you decide to reinterpret a song ... you’re
going to get something completely dif-
ferent.”
The reworking and revisiting of the
songs on Pony Tricks assisted in bringing
out attributes in the songs that might oth-
erwise be overlooked. “Some of [the
songs] are dramatically different. For ex-
ample, [in] “Hangover Days” I turned all
the verses into minor chords, and that
makes the song much darker and puts a
whole different spin on this sort of light
reggae that it was originally recorded as.”
Fans seem to be enjoying the new
takes on old tracks. “I think people are re-
ally appreciating it. It adds another di-
mension to performing as a solo artist ...
some people are very attached to original
versions of songs, and there’s the poten-
tial to upset people, and I can appreciate
that ... but it allows [listeners] to have an-
other dimension.”
For those who are interested in seeing
this new dimension to Jason Collett’s old
songs, the Undressed Tour makes its stop
here in Regina on Nov. 18 at the
sudden. We had a steak night a
few years ago, and that’s where
people started to kind of see
what we were all about: we
would do a steak dinner, and
then do a scrimmage.
Attendance to the club’s
events reflects its recent surge in
popularity. “We [bring] in 800 to
1000 people [to our games].”
One of the qualities that
drew Opperman to the sport
was its inclusiveness. “I never
was into any other sports; I was
never a sporty person. I was
looking for something ... that
would give me an opportunity
to be a fierce woman. I never fit
in anywhere; [I’ve] always felt
that I was different. From the
day that I joined, I knew I was in
love.” Moreover, Opperman
says that you don’t have to have
the physical endurance of a tri-
athlete to participate in roller
derby.
“What I think I like about it
is that it’s women of all sizes. It
doesn’t discriminate against
[anyone]. We have women who
are over 200 pounds, and they
are never turned away. They are
told that yes, they can do this
sport ... all of our sizes matter
on the track. I like that it entails
all women [of] all body types.”
you get that many women to-
gether. It’s working towards a
sport and winning, but it [is] so
much more than that; it [is] a
lifestyle of sisterhood, of friend-
ships. [The other members be-
came] my family. We all support
each other. There’s been women
getting pregnant and everybody
shares their old stuff.”
As a family, the girls are al-
ways there to support each
other. “There’s been a lot of sad-
ness. All these years we’ve had
women who’ve gone through a
lot of troubles, and we’ve always
seemed to be there for each
other. It’s an empowering
thing.” That suits the charity
that the proceeds from These
Boots Were Made for Walkin’ go
towards. “We picked our charity
event specifically geared to-
wards women.”
Advance tickets for the
cabaret can be bought from any
of the derby girls, or from World
of Trout location for $20. Tickets
can also be purchased at the
door for $25. For more informa-

Epic An eco-friendly fête

Campion and Luther to host a week of
cuteness arts and crafts
christian hardy
a&c editor
Kirby’s new adventure Later this month, Campion and
Luther are going to look more like an
open market than quiet colleges.
is a fabric-filled delight Tuesday, Nov. 16 will mark the
beginning of Campion College’s
Market in the Commons and Fair
Trade Week at Luther College. Fair
Trade Week has been an annual event
for some time at Luther College, but
this is the second annual Market in
the Commons at Campion. I spoke
with Apolline Lucyk, the Arts and
Fine Arts representative for the
Campion College Students’ Union
(CCSU), and organizer of Market in
the Commons, to learn more about
this upcoming event.
Apolline organized the first an-
nual Market in the Commons, and
this year she has returned with help
from the CCSU, Luther, and the Visual
Arts Students Association (VASA).
“It’s a lot of work for me to organ-
ize,” Apolline said, “but it’s really fun.
I really like it and I think it’s a good
event – so I enjoy it.”
The primary challenge for
Apolline last year was that no one had
ever attempted to put on an event like
Market in the Commons at Campion
before. “When I had the idea last year
everyone [at Campion] said ‘oh yeah,
that’s a great idea’ – they didn’t know
wii.gamespy.com
I tried to put up some posters on 13th
[Avenue], but I had some help from
the [Regina Folk Festival] and then I
got in contact with some of the local
crafts shows, and through these con-
tacts I got a mass amount of local ar-
tisans.”
Apolline got the idea for Market
in the Commons from Luther’s Fair
Trade Week. “I sort of noticed that
Luther had this cool thing they did
every once in a while, with fair trade
stuff in the halls,” Apolline remarked.
“I thought it would be cool to have
something nice like [Fair Trade Week]
in Campion. I also knew that there’s a
lot of people who did arts and crafts
around the city, and thought it would
be great to give them a venue to sell
them at the University.”
When asked if there was a regis-
tration fee for the artists, Apolline said
that “there is a small registration fee
for tables for the artisans,” less than
$50, “and all of that money is given to
a charity. Last year it was the Marian
Centre and this year it’s going to be
Chili for Children. They give hot
lunches to a variety of different
schools around [the downtown] area.”
The money from the table regis-
tration fees go towards Chili for
Children, and the organizers will also
be accepting donations to the charity,
but the local artists get to keep what
they make from the sale of their art-
Fair Trade Week represents not only
an opportunity to give to a local char-
ity, or for artists and local craftspeople
to sell their wares, but also for visual
arts students to sell and showcase
their artwork.
“My hope was that student artists
could have more chances to sell their
work,” Apolline said. “VASA is taking
three tables, and they’re gonna have
stuff from six disciplines of art. So
there’s lots of different kinds of art
from them,” says Apolline.
The weeklong fête in Campion
and Luther will give students “the
chance to buy cool, eco-friendly, or lo-
cally-made stuff,” and it will also
“give them an opportunity to see
some of the art that is going on
around” at the U of R. Students are
also welcome to sell their own crafts
or artwork. Apolline would like to
stress that Campion’s Market in the
Commons “is open to anyone who
wants to sell crafts. They could contact
me and we have a table from
Campion that people can sell their
stuff through, as well as if they were a
visual arts student they could talk to
VASA and get on one of their tables.”
The Market in the Commons and
Fair Trade Week at Luther and
Campion will be be open to students
from Tuesday, Nov. 16 to Friday, Nov.
19. Each day will feature a different
group of artists and a variety of crafts,

Mayan Dreams
U of R painter blends indigenous culture
into his art
Photos by Ali Nikolic
megan narsing
contributor
Christian Barreno started painting
when he was around 13. As a
youngster he thought he wasn’t
good enough to make a living off of
painting but nonetheless pursued it
on the side. At that time, he mostly
painted the familiar and popular
things of his culture. Since then he’s
grown a tremendous amount.
Barreno grew up
Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. In the
in
summer of 2002 he came to Canada
in search of better opportunities and
to improve his skills. His brother –
U of R professor Leonzo Barreno –
had already been living in Canada
for quite some time. Barreno
wanted to pursue a career in visual
arts. As an indigenous Mayan,
Barreno expresses his culture
through his art. With the vibrant
and various colours in all of his
paintings, The Fifth Parallel gallery
has come alive with Mayan culture
and beauty.
The move to Canada has
changed Barreno’s art. “I painted
things everyone was doing back
there [in Guatemala] but in a way I
was trying to move myself away
from that by coming here.
Something told me to expand my
horizons in terms of concepts and
different things, which I really enjoy
now. I’m combining traditional art-
work from back home but at the
same time I’m blending these new
concepts that I have been learning
here in Canada.”
Art doesn’t come easily.
Sometimes Barreno wouldn’t paint
for months due to lack of inspira-
tion. It’s also difficult for him to pro-
duce such masterpieces in only the
span of a couple of months. “It’s a
struggle sometimes [to do art] being
in school and working at the same
time. It’s been a challenge also be-
cause I don’t have a studio. I basi-
cally paint in the basements of
where I live or in my apartment. But
it always works out at the end of the
day.”
His most favoured piece in the
gallery is “Ixchel.” Ixchel is the
Mayan people’s goddess of child-
birth, medicine, and textiles.
Barreno’s painting is of Ixchel – a
woman with a snake wrapped
around her head – with the Mayan
calendar in the background.
Barreno wanted to bring attention
to the Mayan calendar in this piece.
With lots of recent discussion of
2012, he wanted to clear up the mis-
conceptions following the year.
“Right now there is a lot of talk
about the Mayan calendar and
everything revolving around 2012.
It makes me very upset because
places like Hollywood go straight to
making money out of it. Misleading
a lot of people as to what 2012 really
means. It’s actually the end of our
cycle that will bring humankind to
reflect on what we have done in the
past and what our future genera-
tions will take from us. So for us
2012 is actually going to be a big
party because there will be a lot of
good changes that will happen. Of
course not everyone will be happy
[with the outcome]. Stuff like that
brought the concept to my head
about doing a painting and getting
people interested and talking about
it. And that's how that painting
came to be.”
Barreno often incorporates
women into his paintings. They are
an important part of Mayan culture,
are greatly respected, and are seen
as the leaders. The snake is also an
important symbol representing pro-
tection, as it is the only land creature
able to make itself into a circle. The
image of the snake is also related to
the Mayan calendar.
Apart from painting, Barreno
expressed that he’d also like to dab-
ble in other mediums such as sculp-
ture and photography. He’s
received a great deal of encourage-
ment being showcased at The Fifth
Parallel. This being his final year,
Barreno shared that the exhibit for
him is sort of like a graduation from
the process.
If you haven’t had a chance to
view Barreno’s work don’t be afraid
to stop by the Fifth Parallel Gallery
and take a peek. Barenno’s exhibit,
In Between Dreams, will be open to
the public from Oct. 26 to Nov. 12,
from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays.
“Something told
me to expand my
horizons in terms
of concepts and
different things,
which I really en-
joy now. I’m com-
bining traditional
artwork from back
home but at the
same time I’m
blending these new
concepts that I
have been learning
here in Canada.”

Five A&C Ways
to Spend
Remembrance Day
5 Ignore the Call
of Duty
Unless it’s a game in Gearbox Software’s
Brothers in Arms series, which accurately de-
picts the lives of soldiers in the Second World
War, give the first-person shooters a break for
a day. Games in the Call of Duty or Medal of
Honor series don’t honour the fallen. These
games exploit their memory, making history
into a medium where 10-year-olds can ver-
bally harass other people online while scor-
ing points for headshots.
4 Read war poetry
WWI and WWII produced some remarkable
poets, such as Wilfred Owen, Siegfried
Sassoon, and Keith Douglas. Examine their
verses, and understand the beauty found in
ugliness, the stoic virtues of a lost genera-
tion, and the profound ability that words
have to empower the human spirit in times of
war.
3 Watch The Thin
Red Line
Many war films glamorize combat, portray
violence as heroic, and ultimately show the
triumph of the human spirit against impossi-
ble odds. Few films about war are as thought-
provoking and contemplative as Terrence
Malick’s The Thin Red Line.
2 Wear a poppy
A few years ago, the poppy’s center was
changed from green to black – making it even
more fashion-friendly. Since black goes with
everything, you’ve got no reason not to pick
up a poppy reason not to pick up a poppy to
honour the fallen.
1 Observe the
silence
Every year at 11/11/11 you’re expected to
pay your respects by maintaining two min-
utes of silence – a symbol of the Armistice de-
clared at the end of the Second World War.
Put down your game controller, turn off your
TV, or take your headphones out of your ears
and listen to the sounds of silence.

Insanity and the unpredictability that accompa-
nies it have long reigned as key components in
the creation of horror. Joker, the new graphic
novel written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated
by Lee Bermejo, truly highlights the insanity of
well-known Batman supervillian the Joker, and it
is as unpredictable as it is horrifying.
The story is told in a noir-ish fashion by a
low-level henchman named Jonny Frost as he
rises in the ranks and aspires to achieve the level
of fame and respect known to only the Joker. It
begins with Frost picking the Joker up from
Arkham Asylum. True to form, the Joker sadisti-
cally rolls over his foes with jokes that nobody
truly gets and leaves a path of death in his wake.
Soon, Joker takes to reclaiming the streets of
Gotham.
Frost successfully straddles the line of hu-
manity and insane apathy that is expressed by
the Joker. Although Frost initially admires and
imitates the sociopathic actions of the Joker, even
he eventually becomes distraught with the horror
ryline is accompanied by graphics that parallel it
perfectly in capturing corruption and madness in
a photorealistic way that calls attention to the
action.
Joker contains cameo appearances by Two
Face, the Penguin, and the Riddler – each of
whom have been revamped into modern gang-
sters and pimps while staying true to the ideas of
the classic characters. The success of the story is
in Azzarello and Bermejo’s ability to create new,
modern personas for the characters. Each charac-
ter contains the same madness and villainy that
is ever-present in the many Batman series, but in
Joker the relatable characters, contemporary
scenes, graphics, and stories heighten their effect.
Even a reader who is unaware of the Batman
franchise would easily become engulfed in Joker’s
characters. Batman does appear, but only for a
terrifying climactic showdown that allows the
Joker to have his well-deserved spotlight. Joker
may appear eerily similar to Christopher Nolan’s
The Dark Knight, but Azzarello claims it was
started well before. Even with some similarities
to Nolan’s blockbuster film, the combination of
amazing art and sadistic characters makes the
Joker stand out far beyond the The Dark Knight.

I love spending money, especially on clothing.
However, I’ve recently accepted that I’m a poor
university student and not a trophy wife with a
wealthy husband’s wallet at my disposal, a fact
that has really put a damper on my mornings.
This is because I take almost half an hour each
morning to pick through my closet full of bland
vintage jumpers and overdone hipster trends.
Sometimes, I get so confused that I just wear
what I wore to bed – leggings and an old t-shirt.
Yes, this sounds trivial, but this is the factor that’ll
determine if my upcoming day will be good or
bad.
P.S. – I Made This began as a DIY fashion blog
created by Erica Domesek. The blog’s epigraph
reads: “It’s a call to action to re-imagine, re-use,
and re-invent. I see it. I like it. I make it.”
Domesek’s idea was to translate what she saw on
designer runways into affordable versions by us-
ing items from her own junk drawer. She then
shared her experience by posting the process on-
a dress made of coffee filters are just a few of the
options presented in the book. Domesek lists the
tools and “ingredients” needed to copy each of
her ideas, and she incorporates a visual step-by-
step guide for each. The finished pieces are each
accompanied by a collage including images of
style icons, street-style photos, and the hot de-
signer pieces that inspired it.
The book is great for people like me who are
on a low budget, lack creativity, and need a few
wardrobe boosters. It doesn’t provide DIY op-
tions for guys, but the book is still pretty cool.
Guys, making any of the items listed in the book
and gifting them to a lady friend will score you
major points.
P.S. – I Made This has only one problem – it’s
a book. That is, books cost money and blogs
don’t. So, while owning a hard copy is great and
all, average consumers are more likely to consult
the blog, which – unlike the book – can be and is
constantly updated.

pronounced lyrics that attack adult issues in-
stead of focusing on the actions of their hood-

A major change in No Age’s sound comes
from Randy Randal’s guitar: it has now become
a backbone to the songs, leading them rather
than giving them a giant mosh-style shove.
Dean Sprunt’s drums are melodic and celebra-
tory, and not an intimidating barrage of noise.
The new sound doesn’t weaken No Age. It
shows a mastering and control of the classic No
Age chaos that is still very present on the record.
As the album develops, the layers become more
intricate and intoxicating, finally ending with a
prog-rock build up in the final track, “Chem

I’m not really sure why I hadn’t heard of Jeremy

Fisher before this album was released, but I’ve
been missing out. With his fourth album, Flood,
produced by Hawksley Workman, the
Canadian-born Fisher creates a record of 11
folksy-pop tunes that are just really fun to lis-
ten to. Many of the songs had me wanting to
jump in and sing along because the rhythms are
pretty damn catchy and the use of multiple in-
struments keep things interesting.
Songs like “Laissez Faire,” “Come Fly
Away,” and “Alison” have an infectious vibe,
and I found myself bobbing my head and tap-
ping my feet to the music on more than one oc-
casion. From start to finish, Flood flows together
quite nicely and grows with each new listen.
Lyrically, there’s a common theme that says

Will Calvillo win his third MOP award in a row?
jonathan hamelin,
autumn mcdowell, colin
buchinski, john cameron
this week’s roundtable
The University of Regina Rams fell
52-29 to the host University of
Saskatchewan Huskies last weekend
and will now have to face the
University of Calgary Dinos on the
road in a Canada West semifinal on
Saturday. Can the Rams steal one on
the road?
Jonathan Hamelin: I find the Rams’
situation rather similar to that of the
Saskatchewan Roughriders. The Rams
now have to go through Calgary if
they want to advance in the playoffs,
whereas the Riders will have to if they
win their home playoff game.
Unfortunately, both teams had their
chances to secure first place and I’m
not sure if either can pull it off away
from the friendly confines.
Autumn McDowell: I most certainly
hope so, although the Dinos have had
the Rams’ number all season. Let’s just
hope the third time is the charm for the
Rams.
Colin Buchinski: The Rams have lost
two very close games to the Dinos this
year. Both could have gone either way.
In my opinion, it’s anyone’s game on
Saturday. The Rams can definitely
steal one on the road. Here’s hoping.
John Cameron: It'll be a fight for it if
they do. It's a shame they'll be playing
in Calgary – I'd definitely make time to
go watch that game. It's sure to be
some exciting football.
Discuss who you would you rather
see the host Saskatchewan
Roughriders face in the West semifi-
nal: the British Columbia Lions or
the Edmonton Eskimos?
Hamelin: These days, Rider fans
shouldn’t really be asked which team
they would rather face, but if the
Riders could actually beat any team.
Both B.C. and Edmonton have beaten
Saskatchewan recently. In Edmonton’s
case, it wasn’t even close. The fact that
the Riders can’t seem to beat any team
these days isn’t very inspiring.
McDowell: Well, both teams have
beaten us and are also playing with
second string quarterback. However, I
think I hate Wally Buono more than
Richie Hall. So I must ask myself:
would I rather crush the coach I hate in
playoffs, or have that coach not even
make the playoffs? Let’s crush Buono!
Buchinski: Doesn’t matter to me!
Bring them both on! We’ll beat the
Eskimos this week and the Lions next
week. The Riders will get back on
track and bring them both down.
Lately, we’ve seen the Riders play sev-
eral unimportant games that they’ve
failed to get up for. The playoffs will be
no problem. Darian is clutch when
need be.
Cameron: Lions, I think. The Riders
have been uninspired the last few
games and I honestly think the only
way they can actually pull themselves
together enough to make it to the Grey
Cup this year is for them to get hit
with a challenge first off. If they can ac-
tually manage to play well against the
Lions in the semifinal, they might
gather the momentum they need to
win it this year.
There is a lot of competition for the
CFL’s most outstanding player award
this season. If Calvillo is named the
MOP it will be his third time in a
row. Do you think he will or will an-
other player take the crown?
Hamelin: There will be some bias to-
wards Calvillo in the voting, proba-
bly. However, I think he deserves the
crown. I don’t think any quarterback
from the West will challenge him.
Why? Because Darian Durant and
Henry Burris (his two biggest chal-
lengers) have thrown at least 20 inter-
ceptions and Calvillo has only tossed
seven. Cory Boyd should provide the
biggest challenge to Calvillo.
However, if Joffrey Reynolds rushed
for 1,504 yards last season and didn’t
win, I don’t see Boyd, who has 1,359
yards, winning.
McDowell: I’m sure he will probably
get it, because he has the whole CFL
eating out of the palm of his hand.
However I wish anyone other than
number 13 would get it, as I simply
can’t stand the guy. He can sling a ball,
but he is one annoying human being.
Buchinski: Calvillo has been fantastic
as always. He’s a legend in my mind
and one of the best QB’s the CFL has
ever seen. However, this is Corey
Boyd’s year. He’s running all over
everyone and deserves the nod this
year.
Cameron: TSN nominated, among
others, Damian Durant. Look,
Durant's an alright QB and when he
and his team are playing well they're
phenomenal. But, he's eaten more
grass this season than my cats have
and a lot of the time he just kind of
throws the ball wherever. Terrence
Edwards, Anthony Calvillo or - God
help me - Smilin' Hank Burris deserve
this award. Durant hasn't earned it this
year.
What has stood out to you the most
early in the new NBA season?
Hamelin: A quick glance at the stand-
ings shows that Atlanta Hawks were
leading the East Conference. I certainly
didn’t see that coming. Obviously, the
big surprise was the surprisingly bad
performance by the Miami Heat on
opening night with their stacked
lineup. It’s just one game, but it shows
that other teams have the depth to
challenge the Heat.
McDowell: Possibly that the Heat
dropped their season opener, even
with their powerhouse roster. Even
though they won their next game, they
still got off to a bad start. Some would
say that in a season with over 80
games the first one has no impact, but
people don’t forget.
Buchinski: The NBA? Who honestly
cares? Bring on CFL playoffs and NHL
action.
Cameron: The Heat are, at press time,
4-1. They are going to lose in the first

Did you tune in to the series?
Hamelin: If I had six hours to waste, I

simply too long and sometimes too ag-

Cougars women’s volleyball Disallowed goal dooms Cougars
team confident despite the men’s hockey team
loss of Beth Clark

Jarrett Crowe
Clark led the Canada West in points per set last season
jonathan hamelin
sports editor
It’s always tough to lose a star player.
For the University of Regina
Cougars women’s volleyball team, say-
ing goodbye to Beth Clark at the end of
last season was obviously hard to do.
Clark accomplished a lot in her career
with the Cougars. Last season alone, the
6-0 middle blocker was a CIS second
team all-Canadian, a Canada West first
team all-star, led the conference in points
per set (4.24) and was second in both
hitting percentage (.319) and kills (250).
She set records at the U of R for career
kills (948), blocks (341) and service aces
(102).
As solid as Clark was, however,
Cougars head coach Melanie Sanford
notes that she was just one player.
“You never really rely on one player
– not in our sport,” said Sanford, whose
team opens up the season on the road
with a game against the University of
Manitoba Bisons on Friday and
Saturday. “Our sport is a real team
game. There is not one player that can
get it done for the team. That’s what can
be the beauty and the frustration of the
sport. When you get people not on the
same page, it can really hurt you. At the
player to replace Clark this season. She
is one of four fourth-year players on the
team, including Meagan Onstad, Tiffany
Herman, and Rebecca Rink. Sanford has
confidence in her players, but does note
that she feels “no one can replace Clark.”
“We will have a different kind of
leadership this year,” she added. “Beth
and Meagan Smith (the other player the
Cougars lost to graduation in the off-
season) were in that leadership role last
year. Each of them were quite different
in their leadership style, but worked to-
gether well. It will be different people
this year. We have several players in
their fourth and third year that will pro-
vide leadership.”
As a team, the Cougars improved a
lot last season. After posting a record of
10-12 two seasons ago and being
knocked out of the conference quarterfi-
nals by the University of Calgary Dinos,
Regina posted a record of 18-9 last sea-
son, winning the conference and placing
fifth at the CIS Championship.
“It was a special year last year, be-
cause we learned how to win,” Sanford
said. “The only way to become a winner
is to be in a tough situation and work
through it. We had to do that a lot last
year.”
Sanford sees no reason why the

The Cougars split a pair of home games against UBC last weekend
autumn mcdowell
sports writer
The University of Regina Cougars
split their back-to-back series against
the visiting UBC Thunderbirds last
weekend at the Co-operators Centre.
On Friday, the Cougars dropped
a 6-5 decision. Although the action
was extremely slow early on, things
really picked up in the second and
third and eventually ended in contro-
versy. With the Cougars down by one
with just 1:10 left on the clock,
Cougars forward Matt Strueby was
awarded a penalty shot. Strueby ap-
peared to have scored what would
have been the game-tying goal and
probably would have forced over-
time. The light went on, the horn
sounded and the crowd cheered, but
the goal was no good.
The first period was a slow one
at best. Regina was perfect on
penalty killing, but went 0-2 with the
man advantage. Opposing goalies,
Adam Ward and Jordan White were
perfect through the first, causing
both teams to leave the period with
goose eggs still on the board.
Things really got going in the
second period and proved to be an
extremely tight battle on offence.
Regina hit the scoreboard first after
Dillon Johnstone netted one just 59
seconds in. Johnstone slammed hard
the T-Birds roughly two minutes
later to even things up at one, but
then managed to pull ahead on a
goal by Dustin Kimber. Brett Leffler
poked one past White to once again
even things up, but it was UBC who
would leave the period on top off of
a goal from Whyatt Hamilton. The
Cougars headed into the locker room
trailing 3-2.
The offence did not slow down
at all in the third, as Desloges picked
his second goal of the night for UBC,
mere minutes into the final frame.
UBC was then able to pull ahead by
three, as Hamilton also netted his
second of the night. With the
Thunderbirds’ lead now 5-2, Regina
was in a bit of a hole. If Regina was
going to register a comeback, they
would have to do it fast before the
game became out of reach. Regina
did just that when Captain Ryan
Bender ripped a shot from the point
and found the back of the net after
going through traffic to get there.
Tyler Penny put the Cougars back to
within one on a play that saw the
Cougars come close multiple times.
The Cougars were within one,
but UBC was able to snipe another
one past Ward to give the T-Birds
that two goal cushion. Regina wasn’t
giving up yet as Ryan Sawka tipped
in a shot from Russ Nielsen, but that
would be the last of the offence gen-
erated from either team. Then came
Ryan Kakoske was charged with a
delay of game penalty. Strueby had
the fate of regulation on his shoul-
ders as he was set to take his first
penalty shot of the season. Strueby
was able to beat White and, although
it looked to most as though the puck
clearly went in, it apparently struck
iron instead.
However, the Cougars were able
to get sweet revenge against UBC the
very next night as they rolled to a 6-
2 win over the Thunderbirds. After
splitting the weekend series, which
seems to be a habit of the Cougars,
they now sit in sole possession of
third place in the conference with a 4-
4-0 record. The Cougars will be back
in action on Friday and Saturday as
they take on the University of
Manitoba Bisons (3-2-1).

rely on one player –

Quidditch no longer
just for wizards
Fictional sport becomes real
good time
foodcourtlunch.com
Combing aspects of dodgeball, basketball, and tag, Muggle Quidditch is a hit!
jennifer squires
news writer
Move over football, basketball and
hockey. There’s a new sport coming to
town that is sweeping participants off
their feet.
Quidditch – the fictional sport in-
vented by J.K. Rowling for the Harry
Potter books – has a Muggle (non-mag-
ical person) version. It’s becoming a
bona fide sport that’s celebrating its 5th
anniversary this year.
Muggle Quidditch began in 2005
as an intramural league at Middlebury
College in Vermont. Two years later,
the Middlebury enthusiasts founded
the Intercollegiate Quidditch
Association and held the first match of
the official league on Nov. 11 of that
year.
Since its inception, the IQA has
helped 400 colleges and 300 high
schools form teams, over half of which
are currently active in one of the seven
leagues across the United States. While
the bulk of Muggle Quidditch is in the
U.S., there are teams in Canada, the
U.K., Australia, and even India.
In 2010, the IQA changed its name
to International Quidditch Association
to include more teams. These teams
will be gathering at Dewitt Clinton
Park in New York City in mere days to
compete in the 4th IQA Quidditch
World Cup.
There are currently 66 teams regis-
tered to compete on Nov. 13 and 14 in
New York, including McGill, Ryerson,
Carleton, and even Princeton. For the
past three tournaments, Middlebury
has taken home the first place trophy.
The game obviously had to be
adapted so that humans could actually
play it. Essentially, all the positions are
the same and have the same jobs, but
everyone must always have a broom
between their legs. The goal posts are
typically hula hoops attached to pip-
ing.
The biggest difference between
Harry Potter Quidditch and Muggle
Quidditch – besides the magic, of
course – is the golden snitch. The snitch
in Muggle Quidditch is a person, typi-
cally dressed in all gold or yellow with
a ball in sock tucked into their shorts.
The seekers must steal this sock in or-
der to have caught the snitch.
Caelin Robinson, a fourth-year
English major, is a self-professed Potter
nut and Muggle Quidditch aficionado.
“It’s huge,” she said, “It started out
as kind of a gag, but now it’s really
taken off.”
Robinson has been, as she put it,
“hassling people for the past two
years” to get Quidditch to come to the
University of Regina campus. She
hopes that this year will be the year she
will finally get a Quidditch tournament.
“There isn’t much Quidditch at all
in Canada and I really want to get
something off the ground here.”
Robinson originally envisioned the
games taking place on the academic
green, but the recent onset of winter
has put a damper on that and the tour-
nament planning has moved into the
gym.
The possibility of making teams
pay an entry fee has been toyed with.
Robinson would like to charge a fee
and then donate that fee to a local char-
ity, but she doesn’t want that to affect
the participation level.
As it stands in the planning stages,
every participating team will come up
with their own name, full team, and
costumes.
To those outside Harry Potter’s
world, this may seem like a giant nerd-
fest. However, Quidditch is a legitimate
sport to those involved. It combines a
game of dodgeball with basketball and
even tag.
Chuck Joyce, a first-year science
major, believes that Muggle Quidditch
has no place in the real world.
“Potter fans have taken this too far.
You can’t live in a fantasy world.
Fictional sports don’t work in the real
world. If they did, we could play
Blernsball or Brockian Ultra-Cricket.”
In 2008, Reid Robinson from the
McGill Quidditch Team told Vermont’s
WCAX news that he hopes Quidditch
will become an Olympic sport one day.
“The 2012 Olympics are in
London,” he said. “It makes sense to
have Quidditch at the birthplace.”

Fyfe (third, 33:28), Matt Johnson
(17th, 35:07), and Dale Wig (23rd,
35:25) were the other top finishers
for the men’s team, which place sec-
ond overall behind Calgary.
Lisa Benz, who finished 44th at
21:27, was the top women’s finisher.
The cross-country team is to
compete at the CIS Championships
in Sherbrooke, Que., on Nov. 11.
Soccer
The Cougars finished off their sea-
son with a pair of 1-0 Canada West
road victories over the Bisons last
weekend.
Further information was un-

The Cougars, who finished with
a record of 5-7-2, miss the playoffs
this season. However, the team did
break a franchise record for wins
and came up one game short of their
goal of six wins.

Working his magic
Tillman will help the Eskimos win a Grey Cup soon
cfl.ca
Tillman has already helped the Eskimos to a 5-2-0 record since he arrived
colin buchinski
contributor
One of the most controversial is-
sues in Canadian sports last year
was the story of Eric Tillman. Near
the end of the 2006 CFL season,
Tillman was hired as general man-
ager of the Saskatchewan
Roughriders. As new GM, Tillman
quickly turned things around by
hiring former Riders quarterback
Kent Austin as head coach and
making several other key acquisi-
tions, leading the Riders to their
first Grey Cup victory since 1989.
Tillman had great expectations
of his players in Saskatchewan. He
demanded a high level of profes-
sionalism both on and off the field.
He was also a GM who was not
afraid to make changes and did
what he needed to do to improve
the level of play on field. As a result
of this, the Roughriders became
one of the league’s elite franchises.
Under the direction of Tillman,
the Riders boasted an impressive
34-19-1 record. The team hosted
three home playoff games, won
two West championships and a
Grey Cup. Tillman, Austin, and
company brought football excite-
ment back to our province.
Everywhere you look, someone is
talking about the Riders, flags are
flying proudly and merchandise
sales are now at an all-time high.
In 2009, Tillman was charged
with the sexual assault of a 16-year-
old girl. He was placed on admin-
istrative leave for the entire season,
which saw his Riders go all the
way to the Grey Cup and lose in a
heartbreaker. Tillman maintained
his innocence until January 2010,
when he plead guilty to the charge
and received an absolute discharge.
This means he does not have a
criminal conviction, but is still con-
sidered guilty of the offence.
The trial of Tillman sparked
controversy all across
Saskatchewan. Should the Riders
keep him or should they let him
go? The province was torn. On one
hand, he had been one of the most
successful Rider GMs in many
years. The teams on-field perform-
ance would perhaps suffer with-
out his leadership. On the other
hand, would it really be acceptable
to have this man as your GM based
on what had occurred? The
province was split and, according
to Tillman, the board did not uni-
versally support him. This ulti-
mately led to his resignation. The
Riders lost a great GM who loved
the team, the fans, and the
province.
At the beginning of the 2010
season, Tillman was replaced with
former Winnipeg Blue Bomber
GM, Brendan Taman. Under his di-
rection, the Riders have been very
average.
As of late, run defence has
been woeful and the offence, one
which many people thought would
be a powerhouse at the beginning
of the year, has been almost non-
existent. With Fantuz, Bagg,
Dressler, Clermont, and Getzlaf at
receiver, they should be tearing this
league apart. Such has not been the
case.
The special teams play has
been another story. The Riders
have given up multiple punt re-
turn touchdowns, had multiple
kicks blocked and failed to accu-
mulate many yards on the return at
all. Even with all of these glaring
problems, Taman and his coaching
staff are very reluctant to make
changes. Jim Daley is still here and
not many impactful roster moves
have been made.
When it came to making mid-
season, sometimes controversial
changes, Tillman was not shy at all.
He’s a guy who is able to make
hard decisions. When he sees a
weakness, he attacks it. In my opin-
ion, this is Tillman’s philosophy: if
you can make a move to improve
your football team, you do it, im-
mediately. This is why Tillman has
won three Grey Cups and he’s not
about to stop anytime soon.
In September 2010, Tillman
signed on with the Edmonton
Eskimos. It was a move the
Eskimos were widely criticized for.
It’s no secret that Tillman was the
best man for the job. Even with all
the baggage, Tillman could turn
the team around and return them
to their former glory. At the time of
the hiring, the Eskimos held a 2-8-
0 record and their post-season
hopes looked very slim. The team
is now 7-10-0 and poised to make
the playoffs, where they would
travel to Saskatchewan to face the
Riders in the West semifinal.
Tillman has the ability to com-
pletely change an organization’s
outlook and attitude. He always
holds all his staff and players ac-
countable and demands greatness.
When Tillman first came to
Edmonton, he made it known that
the team’s prior record was of no
importance and it was a new sea-
son for the team. The team bought
into this very fast. The Eskimos dis-
played a whole new level of effort
and are seeing great success as a re-
sult. In Edmonton, Tillman quickly
made various changes, leading the
team to a 5-2-0 record. These
changes were very apparent two
weeks ago as the Eskimos walked
over the Saskatchewan
Roughriders 39-24.
Tillman and the Eskimos
signed import wide receiver and
former Rider Derrick Armstrong.
In his first game, against the
Riders, he had three catches and a
touchdown.
Tillman also added running
back Daniel Porter. Since this ac-
quisition, the Eskimos’ running
game has turned into an absolute
bulldozer. Porter rushed for 121
yards and a touchdown against the
Riders.
Another addition was former
Rider kick returner Jason
Armstead, a player who also had
legal troubles in the off-season. If

change an organizations outlook and atti-
tude. He always holds all his staff and play-
ers accountable and demands greatness.”

Schedule expansion would hurt the NFL
Longer season risks exhausting its stars
sports.gather.com
Increasing the NFL’s schedule would put athletes at risk for injury and lower the level of play in the league as the long season draws to a close
ed kapp
contributor
At first glance, the idea to increase the
National Football League’s regular
season from 16 to 18 games seems like
a no-brainer.
Fans have long argued that four
games of pre-season action, in which
many of the NFL’s biggest stars play
only a handful of downs and are on
the sideline well before breaking a
sweat, only to make way for a team
full of late-round and undrafted play-
ers trying to impress coaches and land
a roster-spot for the better part of three
quarters, drags on far too long.
With over nine billion dollars in
revenue generated last year alone,
amidst one of the harshest economic
climates in the continent’s history, it
seems like an easy call that adding two
weeks onto the NFL’s already robust
16-game schedule would be a terrific
idea.
Unfortunately, that’s not quite the
case.
If the NFL and the NFL Players
Association decide to switch to an 18-
game regular season for the future af-
ter the current collective bargaining
agreement expires in March, it will
come at the expense of its athletes’
wellbeing.
By extending the regular season
by two games, the likelihood of in-
juries sustained and careers shortened
as a result of those injuries would
likely increase dramatically.
At the end of the day, we must re-
alize that football is only a game and
that the players’ health must be the
number-one priority. Long after their
days of entertaining the masses with
spectacular on-field performances are
done, these men will be forced to deal
with many very real and very serious
injuries that they sustained during
their professional careers, largely in
attempts to keep fans satisfied.
By increasing the workload of
NFL players by two games per sea-
son, every season, the average NFL
tenure could possibly dip below the
current and already surprisingly low
3.6-year average career.
Considering that retired NFL play-
ers are only awarded a pension if they
have a career that spans three or more
seasons, these extra two games per
year could all but ensure that many
player’s careers won’t last the required
time and will thus not be given any
money from the NFL after they retire,
or are forced to retire – no matter the
amount or degree of injuries sustained.
Although at first glance, an extra
two games may not seem like much,
an additional two weeks of competi-
tion would entail an extra 20 or more
clean hits taken by vulnerable quar-
terbacks, an extra 40 to 50 potential
carries for already-beat-up starting
running backs, and another 100 or so
shots taken by both offensive and de-
fensive linemen across the NFL – every
season.
Given the tremendously violent
nature of the game, it’s fairly clear that
an extra 20 to 100 violent collisions en-
dured every season would take a
tremendous toll on an athlete’s well-
being – both now and in the future.
Those who are less sympathetic to
an athlete’s well-being should realize
that an additional two games of com-
petition would also likely take its toll
on the level of on-field performance.
By eliminating two games from
the preseason schedule, teams, espe-
cially those with primarily young, in-
experienced players, will be less able
to adequately prepare for the regular
season.
Although squads like the
Indianapolis Colts, perennial Super
Bowl contenders, seemingly take pre-
season games for granted, exhibition
games are instrumental in helping
youthful teams like the Kansas City
Chiefs and the St. Louis Rams, squads
composed largely of undrafted free
agents and late-round selections, de-
velop and prepare for the regular sea-
son.
If the NFL were to eliminate this
valuable time from these teams’ prepa-
ration schedules, it would only hinder
non-established organizations and fur-
ther the divide between the league’s
contenders and bottom-feeders.
Furthermore, with the addition of
two games, performance would likely
drop off in the late season when the
majority of NFL players have tradi-
tionally packed up and gone home for
the year.
Although the majority of these
players probably wouldn’t have a

Animal house The unfair

referendum
I’m weird.
Ok, there. I said it. Among the
things that make me weird is my in-
tense need to vote. I love voting. It
doesn’t matter what the vote is about,
if I can vote, I vote.
A vote is a chance for change. I
loathe voter apathy, especially when
it results in people complaining about
something they chose not to partici-
pate in. Despite my love of voting, I
made a conscious choice not to vote
in the recent CFS referendum.
I was aware of the CFS prior to
this referendum. I knew about Travel
Cuts and student lobbying, the law-
suits and the lack of representation. I
know where I stand on the issue, but
that’s not the point. The point is: I
chose not to vote specifically because
the entire referendum process was
seriouseats.com
just made me angrier than I already
was. This was my money URSU exec-
utive members were using so they
could accost students in the hallways
with candy and pamphlets.
But then again, part of me isn’t
surprised that URSU is throwing
money around like this. They spent
around $50,000 renovating The Owl
and thousands on top of that for their
new, “more user-friendly” website.
This is the first and only time I
have refused to exercise my right to
vote. Our students’ union should be
supporting students, not persuading
students. They should be encourag-
ing people to vote, not to vote just so
URSU can see their desired outcome.

As a kid, I was that little brat that al-
ways showed up with a new “lost” an-
imal after my walk home from school.
Looking back on it, I probably stole a
lot of cherished household pets on
those walks. If you ever had a pet run
away when you were younger, sorry, it
was probably me.
It didn’t matter if it was a dog, cat,
wild animal. I even once tried to make
friends with a bumblebee. Long story
short, bees don’t like to be petted.
While I’ve stopped doing my in-
sane – and possibly illegal – rescues, I
have remained pretty odd that way.
See, I don’t really like people. To be
fair, I doubt people like me. We’ve
come to an understanding. Given the
option, I would much rather spend my
time with a room full of kittens than at
someone’s fun, sexy, memory-making
life experience of a party.
Given this information, the people
I do like don’t really let me go to pet
stores. At least, not if they have plans
for the rest of the day.
Lucky for me, this last week I’ve
had plenty of excuses. One of my
friends is moving into her first apart-
ment that allows animals. I went with
her to give my expert opinion on a new
spend the day there. Seeing the rows of
the cats and dogs crying in their cages,
that old itch to take them home, to res-
cue them, started stirring again.
I can’t fault the volunteers and
workers. They all seemed to genuinely
want to do what they could to make
these small beings lives a little less
lonely, but the odds are just so stagger-
ing. Every person only has so many
hours a day to portion out to all of
them.
Since I can’t take them all home –
I already asked – I’ve decided to refine
my tactic to reflect my age. Every year,
approximately half of all animals at
shelters across Canada won’t be
adopted. The last place they see will be
the bars of their cages.
There are ways that everyone can
do something. Once an animal makes
it to a pet store, it’s almost guaranteed
to be adopted. So, if you’re looking for
a new member for your family, think
about rescuing an animal from a shel-
ter instead. And they’re not all mutts.
Almost 25 per cent of all animals
brought to the humane shelter are
purebreds that were surrendered.
Many of us live in apartments, and
are bound by the rules they set. If you
coming one of those volunteers. The
more volunteers these centers have,
the more each can spend with the ani-
mals.
If all that doesn’t work for you,
what if you just decide not to get a pet
until you know you can be responsible
for it? Recognize it’s a lifetime com-
mitment – maybe not your lifetime,
but the animal’s. Too many of these
animals are surrendered because they
started as a cute kitten or puppy and
now, shockingly, they’ve grown into a
cat or dog.
Make sure you spay or neuter the
animal if you don’t plan on breeding it.
If you take one male and female dog, at
the end of six years they will be re-
sponsible for almost seventy thousand
puppies. For a male and female cat,
that number jumps well into the mil-
lions.
At the very least, make a trip to the
humane society or SPCA. Look at the
sad little faces. After that, I feel pretty
certain that I’ll convert a few more over
to the “people suck, kitties and pup-
pies are dope” side.
unfair.
I, like many other students, was
concerned with URSU’s role. As those
elected to represent all students, I am
disgusted that URSU chose a side to
represent and ignored the opposition.
I heard that URSU actually rejected
posters submitted by the Pro-CFS
side, saying that they weren’t up to
standards, while at the same time dis-
playing their giant yellow posters so
blatantly.
I found out about the referendum
by seeing the no-to-CFS posters, with
negative facts about the organization.
I found myself wandering around
looking for the pro-CFS posters to see
what information they offered. But I
couldn’t find any. I didn’t see any
Pro-CFS advertisements until a day
or two before voting began. This dis-
tressed me greatly.
According to the URSU constitu-
tion, section 2 part D, URSU is “to re-
main politically non-partisan in all
activities and lobby efforts.” How is
their obvious support of one side ful-
filling this section of their constitu-
tion? How are they not being
penalized for going against their own
constitution?

Copyright laws need revamping

For university students, classroom life
involves long lessons and intimate re-
lationships with laptops, handouts,
and textbooks. The purpose of these
tools is to help students read, discover
and retain the intellectual property of
other people through records of their
findings, discoveries and creations.
Outside of the classroom, most
students use the same level of public
information to get their hands on other
people’s intellectual property. This
version will not be found on a
midterm exam or in a paper, but rather
in earphones and on monitor screens.
Obtaining music and movies for free
online is about as easy, if not easier,
than getting a peer-reviewed academic
journal article. But certainly the stu-
dent is not to be blamed. Students,
who enjoy a special level of poverty,
can put $15 to better use than buying
the new Kings of Leon album.
In Canada, laws prevent people
from obtaining copyrighted materials
without legal purchase or consent
from the original owner, yet students
are allowed to use the intellectual
property of others for academic pur-
poses. So how does that differ from
using similar property for a recre-
ational purpose?
It doesn’t. In fact, downloading
music can be less harmful than basic
research. Students research and read
all the time and the amount of writing
that is produced creates an interesting
environment for true “ownership” of
an idea.
In essence, the artist who created a
song is no different from the philoso-
pher who creates an idea. Copyright
laws in Canada must find a way to in-
corporate this reality into the laws.
Casual file sharing should be more
frowned upon than illegal.
The University of Western Ontario
in London has a file-sharing system
for the campus through which music
and movies can be shared online
amongst the student body free of
charge. This type of “copyright in-
fringement” should be seen as a pro-
ductive way to share intellectual
property. In a closed environment like
a university campus, file sharing and
the usage of intellectual property
seems almost natural.
Anything is good in moderation,
of course. People with entire libraries
of downloaded music could be more
supportive of the music industry.
However, as a person who has
never downloaded a song in his life, I
can say that the sharing of intellectual
property has a place, not only on uni-
versity campuses, but within a greater
society as well. An effective compro-
mise between creators, owners and
consumers should be a goal for those
concerned with copyright laws in
Canada.

URSU costs students over
$400,000/year. WTF do they do
with it?
Kaytlyn Barber - funny to see this
girl walking around going “what
does CFS do with the $89,000?”
YOU were the treasurer for CFS!
It’s not the job of non-smokers to
make smokers feel about about
their hobby! That’s fucking stupid.
name e-mail Have you ever heard of tolerance?
Think before you say something
student number retarded like that!
Women in tight jeans and span-
message dex. Yep, good way to promote
lust.
Since URSU has taken a stance,
doesn’t that mean they broke the
constitution and we need to have
an election immediately?
“Hello, the government? Go FUCK
yourself!”

Q: How is the UR Students’ Union
executive like Jersey Shore? A: The
answer to problems is always “T-

When’s the referendum to abolish
the students’ union?
Sorry, I no longer like watching

playing Bohemian Rhapsody… It’s
been done before.

Thanks Carillon for the objective
coverage of the CFS referendum
and the open forum! Its just too
bad you had to pick up the slack
after our student’s union decided
to tell us what is best for students
and to only present one side of
the issue.
Dear URSU and CFS, I don’t really
care about your referendum - its
the price of one meal at
Henderson’s per semester. I’m
more concerned about how much
I pay for the parking I barely get to
use and, say, the price of the
12cent parking tickets we pay peo-
ple all day to sometimes hand out.
Nice professional quality videos
though Kyle.

Bazinga!
Why does URSU hold a referen-
dum over $11, the equivalent to
cover entrance to a club and one
drink, a year for national student
representation? Really who cares. It
is $11 anually. How much money
did URSU spend on this campaign?
Why don’t they spend their time
taking things like kinesiology facil-
ity fees on a per use basis. 20% of
students use the facilties 80% of
the time. How is that fair that
everyone pays $70 annually?
Hmmm?!?!?! URSU?!?!?!
Kyle Addison - CFS-Sask
Chairperson November ‘09 - June
‘10. What has CFS done for us? Ask
Kyle. What a waste of $$$. Seems
to me CFS-Sask was set up to look
like a failure. Shame.
P.S. URSU do you even know what
a ‘union’ is? Quit wasting our stu-
dent $ on popularity contests. Take
your yellow shirts and get out of
our URSU office.
Hmm, still no breakdown of that
budged, how much did their pro-
fessional marketing guy get paid?
And how much was his bonus?
And what are they trying to hide?
URSU says they want to save us
$11 on CFS fees... how much of
our money did they spend on
candy, donuts, and a man in a fat
suit?
