Graduates turn to college
Students finding practical skills, networking

Western graduate Patrick Teskey
wasn’t impressed with the idea his
philosophy degree was not worth
as much as he’d hoped. Before
graduating in 1999, a friend said his
liberal arts degree was becoming
less valuable and asked if he would
start applying at Burger King.
“It was something that kind of
stuck with me. Maybe I have to do
something more than this,” he said.
After spending nearly five years
working odd jobs in construction
and retail, Teskey found himself
applying for a journalism diploma
program at Sheridan College. He had
spent time volunteering at various
newspapers during his undergrad
and decided to do it professionally.
“It took me a while to get there,
but I said I need to do something
and I need to kind of add to the
experience and what I have now,”
Teskey said of his career path.
With his decision, Teskey joined
a growing number of university
graduates choosing to go to college
after completing their degrees.
”There is a great demand for cre-
dentials and the more education a

person has, the better they’re going
to be able to position themselves
for future work,” Robert Kitchen,
student success leader at Fanshawe
College, said. “Employers are look-
ing for people who can add greater
value. People who have both the
applied and theoretical skills can be
very marketable.”
Bill Summers, vice-president of
research at Colleges Ontario,
explained college is becoming
increasingly attractive because
undergraduate degrees are more
common.
“Many university grads are
being challenged to find good posi-
tions to move into and so trying to
top up with one or two years of col-
lege education is being seen by
more university grads as a good
investment in their future,” he said.
Colleges and universities alike
are responding, offering more post-
degree certificates and diplomas.
Western and Fanshawe have sever-
al partnerships, including a degree
and diploma program offered in
the faculty of information and
media studies.
Continuing Studies at Western is
also responding to the increased
interest in post-degree education. A

Aimee Froude, program assis-
tant for post-degree programs at
Continuing Studies, said their pro-
grams not only teach important
practical skills, but also provide stu-
dents with valuable networking
opportunities.
“The practicum is the finishing
touch of the program,” Froude said.
“[Students] enhance their skills by
learning in that environment.”
Teskey’s program at Sheridan
also had a placement program.
Now he’s the editor of The Hub, a
community newspaper in Hay
River, Northwest Territories. With-
out the opportunity to learn practi-
cal skills at Sheridan, he said he
might not have been successful at
The Hub.
“We did everything from website
design to video editing, so we got a
lot of different experiences,” he said.
“I could have went to a run-of-the-
mill paper and been one of ten

Student > Debt
Students face
consumer debt
Credit card debt adds to
tuition, OSAP and loans
Kaleigh Rogers
NEWS EDITOR
Feel like your credit card is burning
a hole in your pocket? You might
want to keep it stashed away.
Student loans and OSAP often
force students into debt, but stu-
dents are racking up consumer
debt, too, and it could lead to
serious debt problems in the
future.
“I’ve met with hundreds of for-
mer students over my career, and I
say to them, ‘Well, OK, you’ve got
$50,000 in student loans. How did
you ever plan to pay this back?’ And
they never really thought about it
when they were in school,” Doug
Hoyes, a chartered accountant and
co-founder of Hoyes, Michalos &
Associates, noted.
“If we all, when we left school,
continued to live like a student for
two or three years, then we’d prob-
ably be able to pay off the loans that
we got when we were students,” he
said. “You need a plan. You have to
look ahead and say, OK, how am I
going to pay this stuff off? How can
I do it?’”
Hoyes explained the problem
stems from several sources, includ-
ing increased costs of education.
“Students are much more com-
fortable with the idea of debt
because they have student loans. If
I’ve got a student loan, why not
have a credit card too? What’s the
difference? Debt is debt.”
He also noted the easy access
students now have to credit cards.
“When I went to university, you
could probably get one card with a
$500 limit on it. Now, if you really
want to, you can get a lot more than
one card and you can have more
than a $500 limit on it.”
Kathryn Blair, a help line repre-
sentative for the Student Financial
Services at Western, noted credit
cards are not only available to stu-
dents, but are also often pushed
on them.
“When you sign up for a line of
VOLUME 104, ISSUE 47
credit through a bank, they kind of
push you to have a credit card, […]
that’s another way that makes it a
lot easier to accumulate debt.”
Blair explained students often
just aren’t taught how to manage
their money.
“I think everyone needs that
[kind of education]. I could have
used that in my four years here,”
Blair said.
Hoyes agreed, explaining
increased education about per-
sonal finances could curb a lot of
debt troubles students encounter
later in life.
“We don’t explain to people, cer-
tainly not in high school or univer-
sity, how the real world works. We
don’t really understand credit cards
and lines of credit and how much it
really costs,” he said. “Students
need to be more aware of the fact
that if you take out a loan, you have
to pay it back someday.”
Melissa Mac Leod, a second-
year history student, also felt edu-
cating students on debt manage-
ment would be beneficial.
“I think, unless you’ve got par-
ents who are going to specifically
tell you, ‘Don’t go over your limit,
don’t put things on the credit card
unless you have the money to actu-
ally pay them off,’ they’re going to
just do that as soon they hit 18,” she
said. “As soon as you hit 18, every
credit card company’s going to start
sending you applications and of
course you’re going to take the free
credit card.”
She said she always pays off her
credit card in full and her parents
taught her the importance of man-
aging personal finance. But she
explained some of her friends
aren’t as aware of the debt they’re
creating.
“I think in a lot of cases, they
feel like it’s not as serious of an
issue as it really is. So, they’ll keep
spending, buying new clothes,
buying new computers, because
they want something now. They
just don’t have a way to pay for it.”

Bashing profs online
is OK, for now
Only time will tell if it’s safe to bad-
mouth professors online.
In a landmark case, the Univer-
sity of Calgary is now disputing a
court decision that it infringed on
the rights of two students when it
punished them for criticizing a pro-
fessor on Facebook.
The students — brothers Keith
and Steven Pridgen — wrote dis-
paraging remarks about a U of C
professor in November 2007. The
University charged them with non-
academic misconduct, which
included probation.
The case has the potential to set
a precedent for what students are
allowed to say about professors
online.
At Western, there are no specific
policies related to students using
social media, but an 11-page Code
of Student Conduct does govern
student activity outside of campus
and online in certain situations.
“Students are reminded that
they are equally responsible for
observing the standard of conduct
set out in this Code when using any
electronic communication devices
to send or post messages or mater-
ial,” the introduction to the docu-
ment read.

Another union
reaches a deal
Western’s Professional and Man-
agerial Association reached a four-
year tentative agreement yesterday
after a short negotiation process.
The PMA came to an agreement
after one day of negotiations. The
association represents about 900
members, all of whom are full-time
employees in managerial and pro-
fessional positions at Western.
The deal has yet to be ratified by
either the PMA or Western’s Board
of Governors.
“We hope to achieve an agree-
ment which reflects the value and
contributions of our members rec-
ognizing that, as leaders on cam-
pus, we actively participate in
implementing the vision, direction
and goals of Western as set by
senior administration and the
Board of Governors,” Jacqueline

Men are drastically outnumbered

This year, only 13 per cent of 114

Declining enrollment in veterinary
medicine is the latest in a series of

Cars towed under new law

Drivers with suspended licences will have
car impounded for seven days
Monica Blaylock
NEWS EDITOR
Towing companies across Canada
just hit the jackpot.
A new law, which came into
effect yesterday, requires police tow
and impound cars driven by people
who are driving with a suspended
licence or driving while impaired.
“In London, we get around 400
impaired drivers a year. Add to that
people who have lost their licence
[…] we catch another 400-500 of
those,” Tom O’Brien of the London
Police Department said.
Cars will be impounded for
seven days. With each impound
costing about $500 to $600, towing
companies are cleaning up and
careless drivers are learning their
lesson, according to O’Brien.
“[Before this law], if we stopped
an impaired driver at the Rich-
mond Street gate at UWO, we’d like-
ly leave the car there and let them
make arrangements to move it.
They’d be arrested and charged
with impaired driving, but your car
would go home with some other
driver,” O’Brien said.
“Now instead of giving them a
ticket and telling them to move
their car, we’ll give them a ticket
and take the car for seven days. This
is another step, and it’s logical, and
it’s reasonable, to make our roads
safe,” O’Brien continued.
Students who are under 21-
years-old run a particularly high
risk of being affected by the new
policy since anyone 21-years-old
and under cannot have a blood
alcohol content over zero per cent
while driving. But, according to
Elgin Austen, director of Campus
Community Police Service, stu-
dents on campus haven’t been
charged as frequently as one might
think.
“We see some alcohol abuse, but
as far as drinking and driving with
under 21-year-olds, we don’t get
very much of that on campus,”
Austen said.
“The [new law] is another tool
that reinforces the seriousness of
drinking and driving. You have no
idea what those results will be, but
we know from experience that
there’s horrendous human tragedy,”
Austen continued.
The new law holds the car’s
owner responsible for paying the
charges associated with its towing
and impoundment — not neces-
sarily the person who was charged
with the offence.
“[Those charged] will get the car
impounded, doesn’t matter if it’s
theirs. This new law will make peo-
ple think twice about who you’re
lending your car to,” O’Brien said.
“Owners can take those people Corey Stanford GAZETTE

UWO pensions causing financial squeeze
Cheryl Stone
NEWS EDITOR
Universities may face a squeeze as
faculty aim to retire.
Investments made with pension
funds plummeted in 2008 when
markets crashed, and the onus now
lies on several parties to make up
the deficit.
“When the market crashed, we
took the hit,” James Compton, pres-
ident of the UWO Faculty Associa-
tion, explained. “We take the risk
with this. It really puts the universi-
ty in a stronger financial position.”
The plan Western has for facul-
ty pension means the University
and the employee make set con-
tributions to their pensions year-
ly. The pension is then invested
according to how the employee
sees fit. When an employee retires,
they see the value of their pension
returned to them.
“The University is only obligat-
ed to give members the total value
of the assets in their account,” said
Martin Belanger, director of
investments with Western’s pen-
sion program. “It is the member’s
responsibility to choose the most
suitable investment product to
invest their account balance at
retirement.”
When many investments
crashed in 2008, Western’s pensions
lost just over 20 per cent of its
worth, leaving some faculty mem-
bers without the means to retire.
“A lot of people who were sched-
uled to retire weren’t very happy
about it,” Compton explained.
Belanger noted the responsibili-
ty was with the employee to ensure
they could retire when they chose
to. “Members have the option to
increase their own contributions if
they want a larger pension.”
Other universities could see
their squeeze in other areas.
“That could lead to cuts else-
where,” John Berlinsky, past presi-
dent and public relations for the
McMaster University Faculty Asso-
ciation, explained. “Very likely they
will have to put more money into
the plan.”
But he said cuts elsewhere at
McMaster could be avoided if the
province didn’t expect to see the
amount universities have set for
pension funds immediately meet
their obligations. Pension funds
need to have the money available
for their members to withdraw
when they retire. Berlinsky cited
McMaster needed $1 billion to be
able to pay out to their faculty. Cur-
rently there was less money avail-
able when needed.
According to the Globe & Mail,
losses to university pension plans
were put into a collective $2.6-bil-
lion hole.
This hole primarily applied to
schools like McMaster, who had
defined benefit plans. This means
faculty are promised a set amount
when they retire.
But Berlinsky disputed this was
the only cause of the deficit. “There
was a long period of time they were
taking money out.”
He explained budget cuts at uni-
versities were because of reduced
funding, which lead universities to
draw from pension plans to make
ends meet.
“Usually in the latter case it’s
because times are tough,” he noted.
Belanger noted Western had a
defined benefit pension plan until
the early ‘70s. He explained there
were very few staff left in this
position.

Oprah’s Favourite Things is every-

Every year, Oprah decides to
open the Christmas season with a
show solely dedicated to awarding
her unsuspecting audience with an
abundance of lavish gifts. Or rub in
how rich she is. Either way, it’s stu-

If you happened to tune into the

Holiday reads
During essay and exam season, reading for pleasure is often put at the
backburner for students. But with a vacation just around the corner, you
have the opportunity to read something you want, as opposed to some-
thing that’s been assigned. Here are some of our editors’ suggestions for
books you can pick up this holiday season.
Heart of the Matter
by Emily Giffin
This chick-lit is not as predictable
as most, and it will have you feel-
ing so connected to the characters
that you’ll find yourself experienc-
ing many of the emotions Giffin
describes. Fans will be pleasantly
surprised by character appear-
ances in Giffin’s Something Bor-
rowed series.

The Interpretation
of Murder
by Jed Rubenfeld
In 1909, Sigmund Freud briefly vis-
ited New York City. He never
returned to America in his lifetime,
but didn’t explain why. Jed Ruben-
feld takes this premise and mixes it
with upper-class New York society,
psychology and a gruesome mur-
der to create a mesh of historical
fact and fiction all in one sus-
penseful tale.
— Maddie Leznoff
Special Topics In
Calamity Physics
by Marisha Pessl
Pessl’s first novel follows the story of
Blue van Meer — a girl who con-

friends with a group of students
who have a special bond with Han-
nah Shneider, a teacher at their
school. The story will keep you

Grace Davis and

ARTS & LIFE EDITORS
We can all breathe a sigh of relief —
the moustaches are gone.
We all know that boys like a good
excuse to grow a moustache, and
Movember is the perfect time. Men
who participate in Movember are
challenged to raise money for
prostate cancer through changing
their appearance and the face of
men’s health by growing a mous-
tache.
Men start Nov. 1 clean-shaven,
and similar to the commitment to
run or walk for charity, the men of
Movember commit to growing a
moustache for 30 days.
Remember these guys?
The Gazette checked in with five
students on campus on Nov. 17 to
see how their campaigns were
going. Now that it’s the end of the
month we checked to see who
raised the most cash. Out of the
five, these two guys raised the
most money for a team and for an
individual.

If you’re looking for delicious sushi,

Kawa occupies the space where

the perfect spot to grab lunch or

Franco, Hathaway
double team Oscars
What do Bob Hope, Johnny Carson,
Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg and
Chevy Chase all have in common?
They’ve all hosted the Academy
Awards.
This year Anne Hathaway and
James Franco have been chosen to
host the 83rd annual Oscars. Hath-
away, an actress who got her start in
the 2001 flick The Princess Diaries,
and Franco, known for his role in
Milk, were surprising choices for
the hosts of the most anticipated
awards show of the year.
Some diehard Oscar fans are
skeptical that such fresh faces have
been chosen to host. Historically,
veteran actors and actresses have
been chosen to host the evening’s
events. It appears that The Acade-
my is trying to appeal to a younger
audience this year.
The entertainment of the Oscars
lies in the hands of the hosts. Hope-
fully Hathaway and Franco are up
for the challenge.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
Release date: Dec. 7
Developer: Blizzard Entertainment
Platform: Mac OS X, Windows
The end of the world is upon us —
the end of the world of warcraft,
anyway.
Blizzard Entertainment is seek-
ing to tighten their grasp on the
MMORPG market with their newest
expansion to the obscenely popu-
lar World of Warcraft franchise.
Although Cataclysm has yet to
hit shelves, Blizzard has given its
dedicated subscribers an early taste
of what is to come.
On Nov. 23, the world of Azeroth
experienced an event of “cata-
clysmic” proportions with its latest
patch. With it, the large majority of
the original levelling zones have
changed for the better, updating
the flow of quests and drastically
improving the levelling experience
for new and old players alike.
Along with the renovated envi-
ronment, the patch includes new
race-class combinations, and move
updates to the revamped talent sys-
tem.
As of 3 a.m. on Dec. 7, players
will be able to activate their copy of
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. With
this activation, each player will
have access to a wealth of new con-
tent including two new races — the
Worgen and Goblin — a new pro-
fession, guild levelling, eight new
zones, and over ten new dungeons.
In addition, Blizzard has
improved the guild system, includ-
ing new rewards for players who
collectively approach the new
endgame content.
Along with the update to guilds,
Blizzard has altered their raiding
philosophy once again, this time
benefiting casual players who
would rather approach the
endgame content with a smaller 10-
player group as opposed to often
unmanageable 25-player raids.
Prior to this expansion, players
who wanted to reach the highest
level of achievement were required
to participate in the larger raids,
now both levels of content are con-
sidered equal and will reap the
same epic loot.
Cataclysm stands as one of the
most ambitious expansions packs
to date, a game that will fundamen-
tally change the entire World of
Warcraft.

So, it is ok for a pathetic ex–girl-

Cleveland to get back at LeBron
James?
I disagree. Go ahead Cleveland
— eat that pint of ice cream. And
then pull a Carrie Underwood and
bash the hell out of his car because
he cheated on you. Figuratively
speaking, of course.
LeBron pulled a lot of crap when
he decided to leave the Cleveland
Cavaliers. Yet many people are
treating him like he is the victim,
because Cavalier fans are intending
to berate him during tonight’s game
between the Heat and Cavaliers.
Really?
First of all, he complained
relentlessly that he wasn’t sur-
rounded by enough talent, which
may have been fair. But what wasn’t
fair was how he mentally checked
out of the playoffs when the Cavs
were losing to the Boston Celtics.
Then he had the gall to go on
ESPN for an hour and tell the world
how he was going to take his “tal-
ents to South Beach.” That’s more
embarrassing than if he were to
break up with Cleveland through
his Facebook status.
Ideally, the fans would move on
and not care. But the reality is fans
look up to athletes and treat them
like heroes.
And just like other celebrities,
this fandom comes with the job of
being a professional athlete. As a
professional, it is your job to act
professionally — it’s a simple con-
cept.
That is the reason why Raptors
fans haven’t forgiven Vince Carter
— he didn’t even pretend to do his
job properly and then admitted it
when he left town.
LeBron pulled off something
similar toward the end of his spell
in Cleveland — the method he used
to leave the team was the icing on
the cake. Try making a spectacle of
quitting your job and see what hap-
pens to you.
There are consequences for
behaving the way he did. Cleve-
land fans have every right to boo
the hell out of him, and make
offensive signs to berate him —
frankly I hope they take advantage
of the opportunity to do so. If
nothing else, it is a good way to
show him — and the rest of the
league — that this kind of crap is
not acceptable.
Remember, it’s not like they are
going to wait for him in the parking
lot and physically harm him. Noth-
ing they are going to do is illegal.
And if the yelling and booing
doesn’t get to him, maybe they can
just laugh at him and tell everyone
he has a small penis. You know, fig-
uratively speaking.

Wrestlers take
down competition
‘Stangs earn silver and bronze
Kaitlyn McGrath
SPORTS EDITOR
It seemed like the perfect ending.
After defeating CJ Hudson, a
wrestler from Brock in the final,
Mustang rookie Ilya Abelev was
heading to the showers after claim-
ing his gold medal. Little did he
know, that wasn’t the end.
“The Brock coaching staff
protested a move that happened in
the first round,” Mustangs head
coach Ray Takahashi said. “It was
one of these controversial calls and
it depends on how you look at it —
it was that close.”
Before Abelev even had a
moment to celebrate his victory, he
was back on the mat competing in
a sudden death round to determine
a winner once and for all.
After scoring the opening point,
it looked like Abelev would pull off
his second consecutive victory
against Hudson. But after he failed
to score on his offensive attack, he
was countered in the final 10 sec-
onds and lost the rematch.
“He was really disappointed,”
Takahashi said about the rookie
wrestler. “I thought he wrestled
really well and deserved to win, but
he really took it well as an athlete —
he didn’t make any excuses and he’s
going to stay positive and take it as
a learning experience.”
Despite the bitter finish, the
Mustangs still had a successful
showing at the Ontario Senior
Provincial Wrestling Champi-
onships hosted at Brock University.
The women finished in the number
two spot, while the men placed
third overall. The Mustangs also
walked away with three other indi-
vidual medals, from Brianna Barry,
Larissa D’Alleva and rookie Steven
Takahashi.
With the women ranked as the

according to the Canadian
Interuniversity Sport rankings, they
have a lot to live up to. But luckily
veterans Barry and D’Alleva did not
disappoint. Once again they both
found the podium as they each
claimed silver medals in their
respective weight classes.
But as natural competitors, and
two of the best junior wrestlers in
Ontario, both Barry and D’Alleva
won’t be satisfied with second best.
“I know she was disappointed,”
