In keeping with our reckless, devil-may-care image, our of-fice has absolutely no concrete information on the Carillon’sformative years readily available. What follows is the storythat’s been passed down from editor to editor for over fortyyears.

In the late 1950s, the University of Regina planned the con-struction of several new buildings on the campus grounds.One of these proposed buildings was a bell tower on the aca-demic green. If you look out on the academic green today,the first thing you’ll notice is that it has absolutely nothingresembling a bell tower.

The University never got a bell tower, but what it did getwas the Carillon, a newspaper that serves as a symbolic belltower on campus, a loud and clear voice belonging to eachand every student.

Illegitimi non carborundum.

the carillon, Oct. 7-20, 2010newsBBlloooodd bbaannss aarree ssoo 11998833New court order keeps the donating status quo

Since 1983 there has been a ban on sex-ually active gay men donating bloodin Canada. While the debate concern-ing this controversial ban is hardlynew, it has been brought to the fore-front of our attention once again.

Toronto’s Kyle Freeman was re-cently ordered to pay $10,000 toCanadian Blood Services for failing tohonestly declare his sexual history onthe mandatory screening forms forblood donations. In reaction to this rul-ing, many groups across Canada havebeen protesting what they argue is anoutdated ban.

The University of Regina’s ownURPride held a blood donor clinic“For Those Who Can’t.” This effec-tive protest encouraged friends, fam-ily, and other members of thecommunity to donate blood in place ofgay men who are banned from doingso. Unfortunately, not all groups havetaken a productive approach; some

have even called for a complete boy-cott on giving blood.

In speaking with Canadian BloodServices spokesperson Ron Visina, itwas evident that recent objections tothe ban had not gone unnoticed.

“There are creative ways to voiceyour dissatisfaction without hurtingpatients,” Mr. Visina said. He alsopointed out that the ban on gay mendonating blood has been examinedmany times over the past years.

In 2001 Canadian Blood Serviceshosted an International ConsensusConference regarding this issue, butthere was not enough evidence to sup-port a change. Again in 2006, whennew technological improvements hadbeen made to screening processes, thispolicy was re-examined, but was ulti-mately kept in place.

Mr. Visina contends that untilsolid scientific evidence is availableproving that the allowance of blooddonations from sexually active gaymen will not introduce incrementalrisk to patients receiving blood, achange cannot be made. He says

Canadian Blood Services must give thelouder voice to those receiving bloodthan to those giving it. While signifi-cant improvements to screening tech-nology have been made since 1983, Mr.Visina claims there are still significantknowledge gaps that need to be filled.Perhaps more research is needed toconstitute an end to the ban, butURPride’s Executive Director, LisaSmith, wonders why Canada is notamong the several industrializedcountries that are moving forward.

There are other groups that arealso considered high risk but are notbanned from giving blood. She be-lieves restrictions should be focusedon high risk behaviors and not on sex-ual orientation.

Being able to donate blood is im-portant.

“That’s why we want to do it,”states Smith.

URPride wants to bring awarenessto this issue and that is exactly whatthey did through their donor clinic.

She agrees that protesting this is-sue should not be detrimental to those

who are in need of blood, and that acall to avoid giving blood entirely isunnecessary.

Support for an end to this ban wasplentiful among U of R students.

“As long as [blood] is properlytested and proven to be safe, I don’tsee why it should be any different,”stated third-year InternationalDevelopment student, Anna Dipple.

“It’s unfair that they are assum-ing that gay men are more likely tohave AIDS just because they are gay,”argued Computer Science andMathematics student Victoria

Verlysdonk. “You can’t put a label on some-

body and then ban them from doingsomething that could help somebody,”said International Studies studentKelston Mcgauley.

While the ban is currently still inplace for gay men wanting to donateblood in Canada, the continuous ad-vancement of technology and exam-ples set forth by progressive nationswho have abolished their own bans,brings hope for a future abolishmentof our own.

WWhhoo,, wwhhaatt,, aanndd wwhhyy Sheila Coles talks about the art of the interview

Rhiannon Ward

There is something unique about beingin a room full of journalism and inter-view enthusiasts. That was the atmos-phere in the multipurpose room in theRiddell Centre when CBC’s SheilaColes graced over 65 attendees withan insightful lecture about conductingan effective interview.

Coles is the host of CBC’sSaskatchewan Morning Edition, a cur-rent affairs program which airs everyweekday from 6 to 8:30 a.m.

She emphasized the importance ofcreativity in an interview.

“One of the things you need be asuccessful journalist is creativity in allthings. You need to be creative in howyou view the world because you’relooking for story ideas everywhere yougo,” she said. She added this creativityshould apply to writing as well.

To usher us into the world of jour-nalism, Coles brought a long a list ofinteresting journalism clichés, whichwere met with laughter from the audi-ence.

“‘The controversial leader’ meanshe did something bad but we’re notsure what. ‘War torn country’ meanswe can’t find it on a map.‘Knowledgeable observer’ means thereporter. ‘Knowledgeable observers’mean a reporter and the person at the

next desk. ‘According to published re-ports’ usually means we got scooped.‘Couldn’t be reached for comment’means the reporter probably didn’t calluntil after 5 p.m. ‘Towing industry ex-pose’ means the editor got a parkingticket.”

If anyone came to the lecture ex-pecting to partake of some sort ofmagic elixir to make them better inter-viewers, Coles made sure to mentionthat there was no such thing. She saidall anyone really needed for a goodstart was to be curious. Her major inpsychology as an undergraduate is atestament to her innate curiosity andhas probably played a big role in hercareer as a journalist.

“I was being curious about whatmakes people tick. I like peeling awaythe layers and finding out the truthabout what makes people tick,” Shesaid. “When I went to my interviewand they asked me why I wanted to bea journalist, I said I was a very curiousperson and I loved the idea of learningsomething new every day. And nowall these years later if someone askedme why I enjoy being a journalist Iwould give exactly the same answer.”

Of equal significance is listening.While it can be very challenging to do,Coles said that active listening is ab-solutely vital in order for any inter-view to be successful. Like most skillsin life, one needs some amount of prac-tice before an interviewer can emerge

as a good active listener. One of the practice scenarios she

advised is to “listen to the intro of astory and think ‘what would be myfirst question?’ and then listen to whatthe host asks and listen to the answer.Stay with it and then quickly ask your-self again ‘what would be my nextquestion?’ That’s active listening whereyou’re actually engaged in what is hap-pening.

“The reason why active listening ishard is because there are so many dis-tractions going on. The person you areinterviewing might have said three re-ally fascinating things; which one doyou pick up on? Which one do youcome back to later and which one doyou let go? You’re constantly revisingas you go and at the same time for me,I’m looking at the clock and you havesix or seven minutes to cover some-thing, find a wrap question and leaveit.”

To get the information most appro-priate to the story out of an interviewdepends on what area the interviewerfocuses on. Coles argued that a hostshould be able to take listeners into thehead of the interviewee in order toelicit the best story.

To do this Coles said, “You have tochoose when you are doing an inter-view when to go with the external nar-rative, like, ‘what happened next andwhat happened then?’ and when tostop and say, ‘what was going through

your mind at that moment?’ becauseyou want to get inside a person’s headand find out what they were feeling.”

Coles discouraged use of tough-sounding questions because they won’tget you the story. Having done count-less interviews herself, Coles knowsthat interviewers will have people whowill not answer the questions.

“How many times is acceptable forthe journalist to repeat the same ques-tion?” she wondered. She played a clipof an interview where the journalistwas interviewing an elusive guest andrepeated the same question 12 times,and still got no answer. Coles said thebest thing to do in these circumstanceswould be to rephrase the question, andmaybe ask the guest why they won’tanswer the question instead.

Coles said while some interviewscan be more like conversations, she ad-vises interviewers to stick to asking thequestions and leave the narrating totheir guests.

“In a conversation you have twopeople outputting, and two peopletelling stories whereas in an interviewyou are asking questions, and the sim-pler the questions are, the better to theother person who is outputting.”

Another essential tool Coles ad-vised the interviewer should have isresearch about the topic or issue in dis-cussion. She said that lack of back-ground knowledge on the part of thehost could be extremely detrimental to

what would have otherwise been awonderful story.

“You need to have background in-formation – which might mean exten-sive reading because you can really runinto trouble if you know nothing.”

The lecture was followed by aquestion and answer session, which re-sponded to issues of objectivity, ethics,and integrity in journalism.

At the end of it all, everyone whoattended left with their heads held highand full of renewed hope for what theirfuture as journalists could be.

Coles’ lecture is the first of theCarillon’s lecture series leading up tothe paper’s 50th anniversary. Kent. E.Peterson, the Carillon’s business man-ager, said the event was more success-ful than he thought it would be.

“The audience was asking ques-tions far more than we thought theywould. John [Cameron], the editor-in-chief, had pre-written questions in theevent that no one asked questions andwe didn’t need to use any of themwhich was fantastic.”

The next event in the Carillon lec-ture series entitled “Journalism andPublic Scrutiny” will be delivered bythe Leader-Post’s Murray Mandryk onOct. 27, 2010.

Wikipedia seems to be the firstplace many students turn to when be-ginning a research project, an essay, ora term paper. However, it’s also thefirst place most teachers advise stu-dents not to venture.

Since it was first launched inJanuary of 2001, one question that al-ways seemed to arise when talkingabout the online encyclopedia is: “IsWikipedia an academic source?”

“Wikipedia is not a solid aca-demic source,” says George Hoffmanof the University of Regina historydepartment. “It is unreliable and thequality is uneven.”

When it started, the vision forWikipedia was, according to founderJimmy Wales, to “create a free high-quality encyclopedia for every singleperson on the planet, in their own lan-guage.”

On the non-profit site contribu-tors can come from anywhere, usu-ally publishing their workanonymously. Most pages onWikipedia can be edited by anyone,though a few pages require the user toregister or are sometimes locked toeveryone except the site administra-

tors. The site is available in over 175languages and there are over threemillion entries, covering topics suchas sports, arts, history, society, mathe-matics, and geography.

Clearly, Wikipedia contains alarge database of information. It isalso a website that is readily availableto students. When students use an on-line search engine to find information,Wikipedia is usually one of the firstoptions that appears. This makes thesite tempting to students, especiallywhen there may not be a lot of otheroptions on the internet.

According to Wales, even thoughWikipedia contains information onmany different topics and is easy touse, he would personally not recom-mend students use it as an academicsource, especially at the universitylevel. He said that the site is merely astarting point.

“In general, I don’t think thatWikipedia is valid as a source for anacademic paper at the universitylevel,” Wales said in an interview withthe Carillon. “This is for the same rea-son that Britannica is not valid as asource in that context. We aren’t injunior high at this level and citing anencyclopedia is lame.”

“The role of the encyclopedia inthe research process is to give you a

broad understanding, a backgroundcontext and to assist you in diggingdeeper in original sources to learnmore. It should be as high quality aspossible. But, even the best encyclope-dia is a starting point, not a stoppingpoint, for any serious work.”

While not every teacher in theworld completely condemnsWikipedia, it is pretty clear that, likeWales, they feel it should not be usedas a primary source in a project. Everystudent out there has likely beenwarned by their teacher to exercisecaution when using the site. Someteachers will subtract marks if it islisted as a source on a student’s proj-ect.

However, Wales explained thateducators’ understanding ofWikipedia should not be confused forcomplete rejection.

“Most teachers love Wikipedia,use it all the time and are eager toteach students the right way to useit,” he said. “I think most educatorshave the appropriate degree of trust inWikipedia that anyone should have. Itis a work in process and there are er-rors. It’s pretty good, but not perfect,just as any general reference work is.Students need to learn how to useWikipedia correctly.”

Hoffman does not completely

condemn Wikipedia either.“Some entries are good and some

others, if not good, are interesting,” hesaid. “Perhaps Wikipedia tells ussomething about our time. It wouldbe interesting to know exactly who isdoing the writing for Wikipedia andwhy.

“Students no doubt will continueto consult Wikipedia. They should ap-proach Wikipedia carefully and intel-ligently – with a good deal ofscepticism.”

Though Wikipedia may not be thebest source to use for a project, it islikely that some students will con-tinue to do just that. The current gen-eration of students are much moredependent on technology, and aremore likely to look for quick informa-tion than taking the time to get re-search books from the library.

Perhaps the biggest point Walescan make about Wikipedia, or anysource of information, is that it is im-portant to question the informationyou read.

“I wouldn’t want to live in aworld where people take any infor-mation uncritically – that’s not mygoal,” he explained. “My goal is toencourage people to think, to ques-tion, to learn.”

It seems there was a “miscommunication” aboutthe changes in the Saskatoon academic offenses.That’s according to Ray Morrison, the chair ofthe Saskatoon school board. Last week, reportssaid that penalties would be lightened on typi-cally frowned upon acts like plagiarism and lateassignments. Even Brad Wall weighed in about

how the change made him “uncomfortable.”Morrison assured the public that there is nosuch change in the works.

KKeeeeppiinngg tthhee ffaaiitthhPope plays nice with female clergy member

telegraph.co.uk

In a move that could change the futureof the relationship between the RomanCatholic Church and the Church ofEngland, Pope Benedict XVI greeted afemale bishop for the first time everduring his visit to the United Kingdomlast month.

On Sept. 18, press and church-go-ers alike watched as Pope BenedictXVI arrived at Westminster Abbey fol-lowing a meeting with Archbishop ofCanterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams. Thecrowd followed the pontiff’s everymove as he was ushered into thechurch to see if he would greet Dr.Reverend Jane Hedges, the canonsteward of the Abbey, and a woman.

The suspense comes from thetense relationship between the RomanCatholic Church and the Church ofEngland with the appointment ofwomen leaders. The Vatican has

strongly opposed women bishops inthe Church of England. The Pope evensaid at the General Synod this sum-mer that appointments of womanleaders would create a “further obsta-cle” in efforts of communication be-tween the two churches.

The tension rose this July whenthe Vatican listed attempted ordina-tion of woman as one of the most seri-ous crimes that Catholic clergymencould commit. It was placed alongsidesexually abusing children.

History was made as PopeBenedict XVI stepped intoWestminster Abbey and warmlygreeted Dr. Reverend Jane Hedgeswith a very public handshake. Hedges,a strong supporter of women bishops,was the Pope’s first public handshakewith a clergywoman.

Matthew Dipple and Serena LaPosta, both members of CatholicChristian Outreach (but not speakingon the group’s behalf), don’t believethis event will, or even should, change

the future of either church, specificallythe role of woman.

La Posta believes it will drive afurther wedge into the unity of the twochurches. The Church of England,which considers itself both Catholicand Reformed, is believed to be goingagainst the Roman Catholic doctrine.

“There have been efforts for unitywithin the ecumenical sphere. The factthat women may now be ordainedwithin the Church of England doesseem to create ‘a further obstacle’ inthe sense that unity between the twochurches is more difficult.”

Dipple adds, “I don’t think itshould affect the role of women in theChurch that much. Women and menare both children of God, and aretherefore equally integral to theChurch. A handshake does not changethis truth in the least.”

The internet has been explodingwith people looking for a deepermeaning in this occasion. La Posta ex-plains what this handshake boilsdown to for most in the Christian tra-dition.

“Ultimately, whether taking thisstep is God's will or not, I think that allChristians’ focus should be on Jesusand His example of love and service toall members of His Body, despite gen-der and despite their ability under theChurch’s authority to become or-dained or not.”

“Women and men are both children of God,and are therefore equally integral to theChurch.”

HHooww oolldd iiss 5500iinn SSttoonnee AAggee??Iconic cartoon characterhits the big five-oh

jennifer squiresnews writer

thecartoonpictures.com

Last Thursday, the only cartoon tofeature a man wearing an animalcarcass and tie turned fifty.

On September 30, 1960, theworld was first invited to meet theFlintstones. Featuring a Stone Ageworking-class man, his beautifulwife, their irrepressible caninefriend, and a cat who was only seenin the opening credits, theFlintstones soon became the firstfamily of cartoons.

With five decades behind them,it’s one aspect of today’s society thatparents can share with their chil-dren. Nearly all of the populationhas grown up with Fred, Barney,Wilma, and Betty.

Long time Flintstones fan KathyHowlett thinks the wide genera-tional appeal lies in the writing.

“It really appealed to children. Itwas kind of silly, but the comedy re-ally relates to their type of humour.”

Perhaps beyond the actual con-tent of the show, its strength lies inthe memories it invokes.

“I remember, when I was inkindergarten, coming home on mylunch break from school and watch-ing The Flintstones before the news at12:30,” Howlett remembers. “If Ipissed my dad off, he’d watch newsfor the full hour and I wouldn’t getto watch.”

And so The Flintstones becamelike a babysitter. It made catch-phrases like “Yabba-dabba-doo,”“Wilma!” and “BAM-BAM” in-stantly recognizable, and it made thetown of Bedrock a household name.

“My favourite episode waswhen Fred was very protective overPebbles,” says Kathy. “He fallsasleep and has a dream. He seesPebbles and Bamm-Bamm becomereally famous. In the end, all Fredwanted was for her not to grow up.”

In a world where The Simpsonshave been on the air for over 20years, the accomplishment of a car-toon making its mark on historyseems small. At the time, this wasn’tthe case. The Flintstones was the firstanimated television show to last forover two seasons. In many ways, itset the bar for what television lookslike today. The Simpsons, Family Guy,Ren and Stimpy, South Park, and hun-dreds more owe their existence tothe modern Stone Age family.

Most grew up on their vitamins,and all have a favourite character.

“Pebbles,” Howlett says defini-tively, “but not until Bamm-Bammwas on. They had a good chemistry.”

They’re a page right out of history

One “Ice Cube”, seen here listening to a phone as useless as yours

Users of Internet- and multimedia-en-abled smart phones, such as theiPhone, may soon witness another up-grade of the technology.

Two of the world’s leading smart-phone manufacturers, Apple andNokia, are racing to develop new tech-nologies in order to attract customers.

A new patent from Apple suggeststhat touch sensors, like those in theiPhone's touchscreen, can improvesound quality during a call. The sen-sors would automatically boost orlower the speaker volume dependingon how closely the phone is help to theear.

Apple engineer Shaohi Chen pro-poses using an array of touch sensors"dispersed around the earpiece region"of a phone to take a touch-sensed "im-

print" of the user's ear. Apple’s touchscreen phones al-

ready have a simple sensor near theear to disable the phone's keypadwhen the device is pressed against thehead – although some users of theiPhone 4, released earlier this year,have reported problems with this fea-ture.

Chen says his idea would simplyrequire an array of such sensorsarranged in grids so the phone can as-

sign coordinates to the shape of theuser’s ear.

Similarly, rival electronics manu-facturer Nokia has developed a newprototype that lets you feel the textureof icons on the screen – a technologythat would add a whole new dimen-sion to touchscreen apps. The technol-ogy is based on an effect calledelectrovibration. Touch receptors in theskin can be fooled into perceiving tex-ture when you swipe a fingertip across

an alternating voltage. The higher thefrequency, the smoother the texturefeels.

Since its introduction, the iPhonehas had four different models with themost recent released on June 24, 2010.This has raised questions about thecell phone companies waiting a littlelonger to do more research and testruns for their products before intro-ducing a new model to the market.--

CCoovveerr yyoouurr mmoouutthhAlberta researchers’ spray could stopspread of disease through coughing

SASKATOON (CUP) — IfMalcolm King’s new drug is de-veloped it will change the way wedeal with airborne diseases.

King has been studying thespread of airborne pathogens since2005 at the University of Alberta,and his latest research, a spray,could help prevent humans frompassing on diseases, like the com-mon cold, to their friends and fam-ilies.

Our current way of airbornedisease prevention is ineffective,says King. He explains that wear-ing a mask is reasonably effectivewhen worn by a healthy person forpreventative purposes, such as byhealth professionals likely to comeinto contact with airborne diseases.

However, the current trend ofwearing facemasks when one is al-ready sick is not useful in prevent-ing the spread of disease, and, evenwhen worn properly, the masksneed to be changed out every fewhours to maintain their efficacy.

“Less effective is putting themon somebody who does have adangerous lung disease such as in-fluenza or tuberculosis becausethey get saturated fairly rapidly,within an hour or two,” said King.“And when the person continuesto cough into or through the maskthere’s escapage ... Even withcoughing gently into the mask, youeventually get particles coming di-rectly out of the mask within a cou-

ple of hours.”Another popular form of at-

tempted disease prevention,known as cough etiquette, is alsonot particularly effective. Coughetiquette is the practice of cough-ing into one’s sleeve or elbow andis, King says, a distinctly Canadiantrait.

“It turns out we’re one of thefew countries in world where peo-ple do that, and it works reason-ably well ... It’s not perfect, though.You still see particles in the air. Afair amount escapes.”

Airborne diseases countamong their numbers both themost common and the most deadlyof human infections, from the com-mon cold and flu to tuberculosisand smallpox. The last of these wasextremely fatal before a vaccina-tion campaign led to the last natu-rally occurring smallpox case in1980.

Because there are so many dif-ferent types of airborne diseases,King’s research has the potentialto radically change the face of pre-ventative medicine.

“I would like to think it will bepicked up in two ways,” King said.“Certainly, protection of the healthprofessions and other frontlinehealth workers. If these people gettaken out of the system of a pan-demic then the whole systembreaks down very quickly.

“Probably more important inthe long run would be if [an antibi-otic] could be available as an over-the-counter, non-prescription drugthen people could be encouragedto take it when they’re coming

down with something like the flu.They could prevent it from spread-ing to family and friends.”

When a person coughs, the airand particles expelled are referredto as aerosol. King and his associ-ates developed a drug that adheresto the mucus in a person’s lungs,making it more cohesive. When theperson coughs, he or she emitslarger droplets of aerosol, andthese settle much more quicklyonto surfaces.

As a result, disease preventionmethods that are already in use –such as hand wash and sanitizinggel – would be much more effec-tive than they are currently. Thelarger, heavier droplets also fall outof the air faster, meaning there is asmaller chance that others willcome into contact with the infectedaerosol.

“We have the proto-drug,”King said. “The basic drug that isavailable as a powder that dis-solves in water, but that’s not an ef-fective way to deliver it.”

While the drug has not yetbeen developed in its final form,which King expects to be an in-haler similar to one used byasthma sufferers, it is almost readyto begin clinical trials. He alsomentioned that the developmentof the drug in its saleable formshould not take long as the U of Ahas talented engineers he can callon to help.

King expects the drug to go toits first phase of trials, which willprove that the drug is safe andcauses no serious side effects,within the year.

EEmmmmyy ffeevveerrAward marks the first time studentsat a Canadian journalism school havebrought home the prize

VANCOUVER (CUP) — Students andfaculty at the University of BritishColumbia’s journalism school havewon an Emmy award for a documen-tary that investigated the effects ofelectronic waste shipped to othercountries.

Ghana: Digital Dumping Ground, aPBS documentary produced by thestudents and faculty, was the winnerof the Outstanding InvestigativeJournalism in a News Magazineaward at the 2010 News andDocumentary Emmy Awards on Sept.27 in New York.

The program, shown onFrontline/World, defeated documen-taries that aired on 60 Minutes,Nightline, and 48 Hours Mystery.

The award marks the first timestudents at a Canadian journalismschool have won an Emmy.

“It’s awesome,” said Dan Haves,one of 10 journalism students involvedin the project.

“We found out an hour ago, wedidn’t expect to win, we’re superthrilled that we did.”

“Journalists work their entire ca-reers for awards of this prestige,”Mary Lynn Young, director of the UBCGraduate School of Journalism, saidin a press release.

“Winning these awards early intheir careers will give these students atremendous leg up,” Young continuedfrom New York, where she attendedthe award ceremony on behalf of the

project.Haves seconded the notion.“For all of us, we graduated in one

of the tougher times in the industry ...something like this award may vali-date choosing to get involved in thefirst place.”

But hours after winning theaward, Haves was asking simplerquestions.

“One: Do we get a trophy?” hesaid. “And two: Where will I put it?”

The documentary was a projectfor the school’s international report-ing class, which is taught by PeterKlein, a former producer at 60 Minutes.Each year students produce a long-form documentary, which is fundedthrough a $1-million giftfrom the Mindset Social InnovationFoundation.

Students traveled to China, Indiaand Ghana in 2008 to film their project.Klein is grateful for the support UBCreceives from Mindset Innovation.

“The e-waste documentary is thekind of project that the vast majority ofnewsrooms couldn’t have done,” hesaid in a press release.

“If an editor is going to give youtens of thousands of dollars, they wantto be sure that there’s going to be astory there. Our funding from MindsetFoundation is crucial, because we’reable to give students this opportunityto really show that you can do goodjournalism independently.”

The full list of students involvedis: Shira Bick, Ian Bickis, KrysiaCollyer, Allison Cross, Heba Elasaad,Dan Haves, Doerthe Keilholz, JodieMartinson, Dan McKinney, BlakeSifton, and Leslie Young.

TThhee lloonngg aanndd sshhoorrtt ooff tthhee cceennssuuss iissssuueeThe census battle rages on

OTTAWA (CUP) — Liberal MPs arepulling out all the stops in an attemptto reverse the Conservative govern-ment’s decision to scrap the manda-tory long-form census.

On Sept. 28, the Liberals put fortha motion to amend the Statistics Act tonot only reinstate the mandatory long-form questionnaire “immediately,” butalso “remove completely the provision

of imprisonment,” the original penaltyfor Canadians who did not completethe mandatory survey.

This past summer, the governmentdropped the mandatory survey andreplaced itwith a voluntary long-form surveythat will be distributed to a larger pro-portion of Canadian households. TheConservatives have cited concernsover privacy and the threat of jail timeas reasons behind their decision.

While the motion passed in theHouse of Commons with 152 votes in

favour and 141 against, it is non-bind-ing.

A day after the vote, on Sept. 30,Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett tabled aprivate member’s bill that seeks to notonly to reinstate the mandatory long-form survey, but to embed it in theStatistics Act and remove the penaltyof jail time for those who do not com-plete the mandatory portion of thecensus questionnaire. A fine of $500would be the only penalty. Currently,the Act only outlines regulations forthe short-form census.

“We will not stop until StephenHarper reverses this decision, which iswhy this bill is so important,” Bennettsaid in a release on Sept. 30. “It keepsthe pressure on the Conservative gov-ernment to listen to more than 350groups and experts who have con-demned this decision and are shockedthat this government has made thisdecision without any prior consulta-tion or parliamentary process.”

Some concerns have been raisedabout the possibility of reversing theConservatives’ decision in time for the

2011 census is mailed to Canadianhomes.According to Statistics Canada, pro-duction of census forms will beginshortly and some communities mayreceive their surveys as early as nextFebruary. Bennett’s office hopes thebill will reach second reading withinthe month, after which it will need togo through a committee and theSenate before the Act can be over-hauled.

RRaaddiioo LLiivveess OOnn CJTR hosts radiothon to keepquality content on the air

Every Wednesday at midnight I biketo the CJTR 91.3 radio station buildingand broadcast music and informationthat is of great importance to me.When I first moved to Regina I hadthe tedious task of lugging all my be-longings in a pickup truck aroundtown, trying to make sense of thestreets and signs. It was on that firstday that surfing through radio sta-tions I came across a PinkMountaintops song blasting from anintriguing station – I had found 91.3FM.

In the four hours it took me tomove, I was always excited to hopback in the truck and see what othergem might come on. That day I real-ized the awesome diversity that waspromoted through the station. So, Ifound out what I could do to con-tribute, and started my own radioshow.

Sonic Zoo brings its lateWednesday night listeners on a tourthrough all the new and unknownmusic from around the world that I’vecome across on my countless hoursof internet surfing and record storehunting. When I take my seat behindthe microphone I get an instant rushof excitement; not only am I sharingmy love of music, I’m contributing inthe cultural exchange that is crucial inRegina.

My show is just a small part ofthe dedicated CJTR family. An almostentirely volunteer-based organization,CJTR is an important alternative tocommercial radio and the network-affiliated public radio system that itpredates. CJTR is operated and drivenby the Regina community. It allowsfor individuals, groups, and the com-munity of Regina to contribute theirown stories, music, and experiencesinto the homogenous world that cur-rently exists in media.

CJTR General Manager KeithColhoun explains that CJTR exists “togive [a] voice to the communitythrough diverse and unique program-ming. We are accessible to many com-munity groups, multiculturalcommunities, and a wide assortmentof people and organizations whosemessage is not often heard or seen inthe mainstream media.” In the diver-sity of culture that exists in Regina,the ability of a media agency to giveequal and unprejudiced airtime to anarray of different cultures and pro-gramming is a privilege that Regina’scitizens do not always realize.

Colhoun expresses “the fact thatwe can be so diverse and offer somany different kinds of shows makesus stand out among the other stationsin Regina. A lot of interesting radio isbeing made here every day.” The va-

riety on the station not only givesvoice to a range of different groups,but it also allows the rest of us aglimpse into cultures and music thatwe may not be aware of.

Recently, I tuned into LarryChristie’s show Hits for Zoomers andwas instantly surrounded by the mu-sic of my childhood that I’d forgottenabout, I went right home and put onmy old Peggy Lee seven-inch and lis-tened to “Blues in the Night” for thefirst time in years. This experiencehappens regularly with programmingthat ranges from the show Striving forIndependents, which focuses on inde-pendent Canadian music, to the showGreet Your Neighbor, which highlightslocal citizens.

CJTR is especially important tothe University of Regina because wedo not have our own university radiostation. The aired voice of the studentcommunity of the university is onCJTR and they take this obligationvery seriously. Colhoun noted, “weconsider ourselves somewhat of a defacto campus station for Regina. Webelong to the NationalCampus/Community RadioAssociation and we have a number ofvolunteers from among the U of Rranks.” The ears of the U of R’s stu-dent body are primarily attached totheir iPod headphones. Students oftenconsider radio an older technology,but radio remains the most immediateand critical medium for communicat-ing with your community.

Colhoun says “people have beendeclaring radio dead since the firstblack-and-white TVs showed up, butit’s still here, and it’s not going awayany time soon.” CJTR already isadapting to the technological changesof our society by streaming the station24 hours a day and making podcastsavailable for download in the near fu-ture.

As a non-profit, volunteer-basedcommunity radio station, CJTR reliesheavily on donations and fundraisingto keep them on the air and growing.From Oct. 1 to 8 CJTR held aRadiothon to try to raise $21,000. Thismoney is to keep the station on air aswell as part of a strategic long-termplan to become more interactive withthe community. Colhoun says, “weare planning on doing more radiofrom outside the walls of our physicallocation. Broadcasting concerts andevents from locations around the cityrequires some specialized equipmentif you’re going to do it right, and thecosts involved are significant.”

Although the Radiothon ends onOct. 8, CJTR is always happy to acceptdonations all year round. A $25 dona-tion gets you a membership for a yearand a voice in station governance.Colhoun “encourages anyone whoenjoys and values what we do to getinvolved.” To get involved visit

AA CCoohheenn ccllaassssiiccFull of sexy, sexy poetry

Long before Leonard Cohen’s“Hallelujah” became to go-to song for“meaningful” moments in film andTV he was a struggling writer just try-ing to make a living. His first novel,The Favorite Game, was publishedthree years before Cohen would rein-vent himself as a singer-songwriter.

The history of The Favorite Game’sproduction is complicated. The novelwas first written sometime after 1959,when Cohen received a $2000 CanadaCouncil grant at the age of 24. Theoriginal manuscript of the novel wastitled Beauty at Close Quarters, and wasreceived poorly after Canadian pub-lished magnate Jack McClelland ob-jected to what he viewed as thenovel’s egotistical preoccupation withsex.

Cohen then reluctantly guttednearly half of the book, and it waseventually published to dismal sales.There has never been an uncut editionof Beauty at Close Quarters, which isastonishing given the career that itscreator went on to have.

I first read The Favorite Game in apost high-school haze. I lounged inbeds, hammocks, and on grassyslopes as I read the story of LawrenceBreavman – a young Jewish boy liv-ing in the Westmount area ofMontreal and struggling with love,sex, spirituality, history, and moder-nity. The novel’s prose style is unde-niably the work of a poet. There is anarresting image or phrase on everypage, such as when Breavman writespoetry to his lover Shell, writing:“Beneath my hands / your smallbreasts / are the upturned bellies / ofbreathing fallen sparrows.”

The novel is technically a bil-dungsroman; like Dickens’ DavidCopperfield, it’s a novel of a youngman’s growth and education. Within

that, the novel can be seen also as akünstlerroman: a work that specificallyportrays the development of an artist.Debate has risen over how much ofCohen can be read into the characterof Breavman, as their shared early his-tory is nearly identical.

Of Cohen’s two novels, TheFavorite Game is often overlooked inthe shadow of the darker, more ex-perimental Beautiful Losers (1966).Personally, I’m too weak of heart totackle the jarring Beautiful Losers in itsentirety, and it was The Favorite Gamethat helped me understand whyyouth still walk the streets ofMontreal with the undying hope ofmeeting Leonard Cohen, the great bo-hemian.

AA rreeeell ggoooodd ttiimmee Regina’s two independent film festi-vals make short films accessible

The past week saw two film festi-vals hit the screens of the QueenCity within a day of each other.The 10th annual One Take Super 8Festival and as well as Exported!Seven Short Films from Here &There festivals took to the ReginaPublic Library and RoyalSaskatchewan Museum screens, re-spectively.

The Exported! Seven ShortFilms from Here & There film fes-tival featured short films from allover North America. It startedwhen Regina native and Montreal-based filmmaker Adrian Bobb, analumni of the U of R, placed an adon Craigslist looking “for anyonethat was interested in showingtheir film in a joint screening.”

As Bobb explains, “The wholeidea of the festival was essentiallyto bring films that aren’t from

where I’m at or from any of thecities necessarily that they were go-ing to be screened in, but at thesame time, familiar as well. Theidea was to [see] films from wherewe’re from, but at the same timesee films from everywhere else.”The immense response then led theway to multiple screenings in mul-tiple cities. Bobb was surprisedwhen he received “over fifty re-sponses. It was really overwhelm-ing,” but he assures that “it’sdefinitely something that will keepgoing on”.

The films range in genre fromsci-fi, romance, action, drama,thrillers, and comedy. “That’s kindof the thing that I was very con-scious of. I wanted to see whatpeople were doing in general withfilm. There’s a nice variety.”However individual each film maybe, they are all short films, rangingfrom five to twenty-six minutes inlength. Bobb believes that “thereare some things that shorts do so

well. You have to be very preciseand very concise when telling astory in a short film because youcan’t afford to linger. I think bywatching these films you can seethat – you can see that they’re alldifferent ideas and different waysof getting across messages in asmaller amount of time.”

Lesser lengths of films meansthat more films can be shown andmore filmmakers can exhibit theirwork. Moreover, the greater ease offilmmaking in the modern techno-logical present engenders inde-pendent filmmaking. “It couldn’texist in any other time; it’s defi-nitely a product of the Internet agethat in the technological age whichwe live in anyone can pretty muchmake a film,” Bobb explains.

The One Take Super 8 FilmFestival also focuses on filmmak-ing accessibility. Each filmmakershoots a single reel of Super 8 mmfilm and all the action is shot inone take, with no editing or evenviewing by the filmmakers them-selves prior to the movie premier-ing.

“If we were allowed to editthem, it would barely be worth go-ing to,” states Gerald Saul, a pro-fessor in the Department of MediaProduction and Studies at U of Rand a ten-year participant of thefestival. One Take Super 8 isunique in the fact that it’s filledwith so much tension and anticipa-tion. “To me what’s special about[One Take Super 8] is the sense ofsurprise and risk. [My film] couldbe the worst thing I’ve ever made –I don’t know yet. It might be noth-ing, or it might be the best thingI’ve done all year,” says Saul.

With both festivals being

within a day of each other, onecould wonder if this is a sign of agrowing film community inRegina. “I hope so,” says Saul.“There’s interest in non-main-stream film – film as art, film asexpression.”

Seeing as how large of a re-sponse the Exported! festival hasreceived, it’s not out of the ques-tion to wonder if will soon growinto the Ten or Twenty Films fromHere and There festival. “I thinkthat filmmaking in Regina is defi-nitely getting somewhere,” Bobbaffirms. It’s also possible that therecould be more events like OneTake Super 8 or Exported! poppingup around our city as well.

“There’s something communalabout going into a small theatrewith a few people shoulder toshoulder and watching, sharingthat experience at the time – everyviewing experience is different,”Saul says. “People go for an expe-rience [and] something that theycan take away from [it],” elabo-rates Bobb. “It’s a great networkingexperience. I’ve met so many peo-ple that I would definitely keep inmind for future projects and futurecollaborations, and because film isone of the ultimates when it comesto collaborative art forms, the morepeople you know, usually the bet-ter your craft becomes. It becomesa really interesting network of tal-ents that amplify each other. It cel-ebrates the craft and shows whatcan be done.”

Hopefully, the recent successof these two festivals will turn outto just be the trailer for the featurepresentation of Regina’s filmmak-ing community.

CATS is the absolute worst. It combined every-thing that’s awful about Andrew Llyod Webber’smusicals into one giant catastrophe. However, itwas based on a loveable book, written the masterof modernist poetry: T. S. Eliot. Old Possum’s Bookof Practical Cats is a joy for both lit geeks and catlovers.

The Cheshire Cat(1951)

The Cheshire Cat has been visually interpretedmany times since his original depiction in LewisCarroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. His rolein Disney’s Alice in Wonderland remains his mostmemorable onscreen appearance. The CheshireCat has been interpreted dozens of times, and re-mains one of the most prominent cats in popularculture.

Cat People(1982)

A woman named Irena (Nastassja Kinski) is re-united with her brother Paul (MalcolmMcDowell), only to find out that she and herbrother are both werecats. They transform intowerecats after having sex with normal humans;the only way not to transform is to have sex withanother werecat. All werecats are incestuous, andbrother and sister gotta get it on to stop the trans-formation. Also: David Bowie sings the movie’stheme song: “Cat People (Putting Out Fire).”

The Catbus (from MyNeighbor Totoro)

The scheduled arrival of the Catbus is the high-light of Miyazaki’s delightful children’s film MyNeighbor Totoro. What makes the Catbus evenbetter, is that you can buy officially licensedCatbus hats at your local comic book store.

IItt’’ss tthhee CCaarriilllloonn’’ss FFaallll TTVV PPrreevviieeww!!You’re going to watch this on an actual TV, right?

There are plenty of new shows thisseason that have critics talking, espe-cially HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. Afterits premier episode, which was di-

rected by Martin Scorcese and debutedto phenomenally high ratings, the se-ries was immediately renewed for asecond season. Another show that hasalready been doing very well in theratings has been Showtime’s Dexter,which returned this fall for its fifth sea-son after a major cliffhanger at the endof the fourth left the series’ most an-noying character in a pool of her ownblood – sorry, Rita fans.

Besides the premiere of BoardwalkEmpire, the most talked about TV se-ries of this fall – at least among TV

critics – was the drama Lone Star,which lasted just two episodes beforeFOX pulled the plug. FOX is notoriousfor canceling shows after a single sea-son, but dropping the program aftertwo episodes was an unprecedentedmove for the network. Following the announcement of LoneStar’s cancellation, AV Club commen-tator Scott Tobias tweeted “Fuck tele-vision, you know? At least when amovie bombs, it’s already been com-pleted. No one stops the projector afterreel two.”

Honestly though, the hubbub sur-rounding Lone Star’s cancellation hasmostly already been forgotten, and thereason is that there are so many pro-grams that people actually enjoywatching, like the CBS comedy How IMet Your Mother or The WB’s horrorseries, Supernatural, both of whichhave returned this fall. The jury is still out as to whether or notBoardwalk Empire will take the placeof The Wire or The Sopranos in thecanon of great network television, butthere are a number of returning series

that aren’t trying to reinvent TV, butsimply deliver episode after episode ofpure entertainment. Of course, that is-n’t going to stop audience-baitingshows – such as NBC’s The Event –from trying to recapture the lightningin the bottle that made LOST great.

The Fall TV season is just gettingstarted, making now the perfect timefor the Carillon and its contributors topredict which of these new and return-ing programs are going to succeed,jump the shark, or be cancelled fasterthan you can say FOX.

Good television requires a few keycomponents: Steve Buscemi, MartinScorsese, and a theme by the BrianJonestown Massacre. After these fewcrucial elements combine you get thenewest HBO series: Boardwalk Empire.

Set in Atlantic City, New Jerseyduring the Prohibition era, BoardwalkEmpire focuses on the Enoch “Nucky”Thompson (Buscemi), a corrupt politi-cian. Nucky deals with mobsters,politicians, government agents, andregular people who look up to him.

Although the series is only a fewepisodes in, the premiere episodealone claimed this viewer’s Sundaynights instantly. The followup episodecertainly did not disappoint. The initialcharacter development is donethoughtfully with lots of room formystery and intrigue. The relationship

Buscemi has with his fellow castmatesis sincere and believable. With anamazing story from a Nelson Johnsonbook as its premise, I can only assumethat we are at the beginning of whatwill be great new television series. Ifyou are going to watch TV, you mightas well watch the best.

Boardwalk Empire (HBO)

As the show that has been described as“Seinfeld on crack” enters its sixth sea-son there are rumblings that it may notmaintain its high level of quality. Thegang has already staged a prowrestling match for the troops, in-vented the kitten mittens, and createda full-proof system of seductionknown as the D.E.N.N.I.S. system, andthat was all in the last season. Whatelse is there to do?

Well, an idea of how to keep theshow fresh came from off-screen cou-ple Kaitlin Olson (Dee Reynolds) andRob McElhenney (Mac) who an-nounced they would be having theirfirst child in late August. Rather thanhide the pregnancy, Dee will find her-self with child around midseason inan episode titled “Who Got DeePregnant?” Dee’s previous experiencewith children includes trying to renther uterus to a couple trying to con-

ceive and, along with Mac, finding ababy in a dumpster and trying to givehim a tan in order to put him in com-mercials. They are horrible people.

Other episodes will include the re-turn of the McPolyes, the Lawyer, andCarmen, who is now a post-op trans-sexual. Also, Chase Utley and RyanHoward of the Philadelphia Phillieswill guest star on an episode. Here'shoping Mac finally gets to give Chasehis letter.

Unfortunately, new episodes ofSunny aren’t broadcast in Canada, al-though they are easy to find online acouple hours after airing south of theborder. The best option is to purchaseone of the first five seasons or theamazing Christmas special on DVD.Each episode demands multiple view-ings.

Though NBC’s Thursday night line-up is no longer “must see TV,” it stillairs three of the finest network sitcomsout there. Most have heard of the firsttwo, 30 Rock and The Office, butCommunity has yet to make it big inthe mainstream. Hopefully with itssecond season Community will get theattention it deserves.

Season one ended with Britta(Gillian Jacobs) declaring her love forJeff (McHale), only for Jeff to go offand kiss Annie (Alison Brie of MadMen). Team Annie versus Team Brittahas not reached Jacob versus Edwardstatus, though that seems to be OK forthe writers. It seems that they plan onmaking every single romantic combi-nation happen. In many ways thisshow is just a high school drama, butwith adults. Think Saved by the Bell, if

the actors were playing characters thatwere the same age.

With their language requirementout of the way, the study group islonger taking Spanish. Instead, theywill be trying out Anthropology. Butfear not, Ken Jeong fans – ProfessorChang is now a student and is desper-ately trying to get into the studygroup’s tight-knit circle.

Also, be sure to watch out for theChristmas episode, which is beingdone in stop-motion animation à la theChristmas classic Rudolph theRed–Nosed Reindeer. As seen fromlast year’s post-apocalyptic paintballepisode, this is a show that will warpreality to keep its viewers interested.

The seventeenth season of The AmazingRace has begun, and this time there’sactually a pretty sweet cast that makesthe show enjoyable. They’ve alreadythrown in a new twist – the expresspass, which allows a team to skip achallenge and move on to the next.That’s not all though – for the first timeI actually kind of know one of theteams.

Team Jumba a.k.a. Kevin andMichael are on YouTube (search:“KevJumba”). Watching these two islike watching someone you personallyknow being on TV while you laughyour face off at how much they fail atlife. Seriously though, they’re doingpretty well, coming in third place inthe last episode. They’re the one teamto watch if you need some down-to-earth comedy.

Another awesome comedic pairare the Ivy League a cappella singers.Yeah, you read that right. These twoteammates – dubbed the “Glee” team– are so nerdy and funny, and they’reactually not doing so bad. At first they

sucked, but they’ve definitely steppedup their game!

Nat and Kat, a.k.a. the doctors, arealso a team to watch out for. I’m prettysure they’ll make it to the final three inthe competition. Jill and Thomas arealso likely to make it to the final three,and Stephanie and Chad might make itthere if they get their act together.

Claire – the chick who got a water-melon to the face – and Brook are def-initely the most annoying team so far,and Katie & Rachel – the volleyballbimbos – aren’t going to make it, espe-cially with their stupid remarks every5 seconds. Do they really think makingfun of others makes them better atwinning an epic race? I hate them bothwith a passion.

Currently, the teams of Ron andTony, and Andie & Jenna have alreadybeen eliminated. My best guess is thatNick and Vicki will be the next to go.

Catch Season 17 of The AmazingRace on CBS or watch it online!

The Amazing Race (CBS)

One of my favorite programs returnedfor its sixth season on CBS Mondaysthis fall. How I Met Your Mother is stillthe same quirky comedy that I knowand love. A “love story in reverse,” theshow is essentially one long flashbackas hopeless romantic Ted Mosby (JoshRadnor) is still, in the year 2030, tellinghis kids the long-winded story of howhe met their mother and everythingleading up to it – leaving nothing out.

Flashing back to the beginning,Ted searches for the perfect woman,or as he puts it, his soulmate. Ted isjoined in his quest to find Mrs. Rightby his best friends from college – andTV’s cutest couple – Marshall (JasonSegal) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan), hisex-girlfriend Robin (Cobie Smulders),and the hilarious Barney (Neil PatrickHarris).

In past seasons, some crazy adven-tures have been had. A pathetic andstrangely lovable character, Ted is stillsearching for his future wife in the lat-est season. Of course, his friends are al-ways there to shake things up with lotsof laughs and good times.

How I Met Your Mother is a showthat satisfies my need for witty sar-casm and smarmy hilarity. It connectswith its audience in the way that itshows that relationships are almostnever perfect, and that good times canalways be had with close friends. Italso appeals to the hopeless romanticin me because, of course, Ted gets thegirl in the end.

How I Met Your Mother (CBS)

The new season of The Vampire Diariesis now four episodes in, and so far has-n’t shown even a hint of straying offinto the Twilight Zone. Just the factthat the actors have been able to pullthis show off for over a season withoutlooking like they’re already sick of itimpresses me.

For those of you who don’t knowwhat this series is about, here are thebasics: a relationship between a hu-man girl, Elena, and a vampire boy,Stephen, is facing troubles because oftheir interspecies angst and sexual ten-sion brought on by Stephen’s brotherDamon, who is also a vampire.

So far, it seems like this season’sepisodes have been repeating almostthe exact same plot that a lot of SeasonOne did, plus or minus a few charac-ters. Just like the beginning of last sea-son, the plot sounds a little too

familiar: there’s Elena and Stephen’ssexual tension, a new vampire comingto Mystic Falls to wreak havoc, andone of Elena’s friends has become avampire. Apart from the recycled plotline, Season Two is slowly introducingnew plot elements.

One of the newest characters isMason Lockwood, who is cursed totransform into a werewolf. The factthat the curse can only be activatedwhen a person kills someone is fairlycreative. The fourth episode has beenthe best so far this season, opening alot of possibilities for future episodes,such as: a war between the Lockwoodsand the Salvatores, and the possibilityof a relationship reforming betweenKatherine and Stephan.

The Vampire Diaries (The CW)

For those of you that have not seenABC’s comedy-drama Castle, you aretruly missing out on something great. The excellent on-screen chemistry ex-hibited by the main characters makesthis show a joy to watch. NathanFillion (Firefly) stars as Richard Castle,a murder mystery novelist with a longlist of ex-wives and a bad case ofwriter’s block. Alongside Fillion is an-other great Canadian actress, StanaKatic as Detective Kate Beckett, a no-nonsense NYPD officer with biting witand infinite patience. Together, thesetwo make an excellent duo that is en-tertaining to watch.

In season three, the love affair thathas been growing between Castle andBeckett is decidedly cooler afterCastle’s summer trip to the Hamptonswith his ex-wife. Further aggravatingthe situation, he did not call his friendsat the precinct when he returned, leav-

ing Beckett hurt and angry. After a casein which Castle was drawn into the in-vestigation, he was welcomed back asBeckett’s shadow.

So far, season three has returned tothe series’ roots, meaning that there issome sexual tension between Beckettand Castle, but it’s not as close to thesurface as it was at the end of the sec-ond season. As always, each episodestill brings a new murder to solve.

A few things to look for this sea-son: the relationship between Castle,his ex-wife, and Beckett; the continu-ing mystery of who killed Beckett’smother; and the safety of Castle’s fam-ily. There are many directions the showcan go.

Castle airs on CTV Monday nightsat 9 p.m., following Dancing With theStars.

To keep my fellow students from fallinginto an academic coma, let me introducePlants Vs Zombies: a super cheap, super ad-dictive, and super fun waste of time.

In keeping with the influx of zombielovers and to get you all ready for Regina’sannual Zombie Walk on October 15—whichI hope to see you all at—I’ve subjected my-self to hours upon hours of research justfor you. If the game’s name isn’t enough tointerest you, let me give you a little run-down.

First of all, the combination of pricelessanimation and creativity makes this a gamefor everyone; you can play, your mom canplay, and it’ll keep your siblings androomies distracted while you study. Thegame features a variety of brain-lovingzombie characters. You’ve got your run-of-the-mill zombies, grandpa zombies,Michael Jackson—complete with a dancecrew—zombies, Olympic zombies, and

many more. You are even tasked with finding the

elusive Sasquatch zombie, who even indeath seems to be just as mysterious as he isin conspiracy documentaries.

On to the side of the heroes, there areadorable peashooters, sunflowers, water-melon catapults, seaweed, and many morecharacters to discover as you progressthroughout the game.

The levels all take place in the differentareas of a house, such as the backyard,rootop, etc. In between levels, Crazy Bob—who is also the game’s narrator—runs ashop out of his car where you can purchaseitems. Players can also collect awardthroughout the game that can be looked atin between stages, and, once the first levelhas been beaten, fun little mini-games be-come accessible.

Plants Vs Zombies is not only ridicu-lously fun, but also well designed. Itsmenus are easy to navigate, and the game isstraight forward, is way better than playingyour free Solitaire software, is much lesslife-consuming than Halo: Reach. It’s a greatgame to play when your brain is on theverge of destruction from your course load.

Can a monster be innocent? Let MeIn examines this question throughthe eyes of two very different chil-dren. It is an American horrormovie quite different from any-thing else released in the genre inrecent memory. Director MattReeves has put together an incred-ibly faithful remake of Let the RightOne In, a beautiful 2008 Swedishhorror film that never found muchof an audience stateside. Reeves’respect for the original film is bothhis triumph and his undoing, asNorth American audiences maynot know what to make of thisnew version.

The film is primarily about afriendship between two 12-year-olds who, for different reasons, areboth outsiders. The protagonist,Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee), is a

strange kid who is picked on atschool by a gang of bullies. Theybeat him up and call him a littlegirl. Owen spends his eveningspeering into the windows of theother tenants in his apartmentblock and fantasizing about get-ting back at his tormentors.

Then one night, a little girlmoves in next door to Owen. Abby(Chloe Moretz) is an outsider for acompletely different reason. She isa vampire. Although Owen does-n’t know she is a monster, he in-stantly recognizes that she isn’tnormal. In spite of this, the two ofthem get along very well.Unfortunately, Abby’s monstrousnature is not easily contained, andtheir friendship soon becomescomplicated.

The performances by thefilm’s child actors are its greatestsuccesses. Owen’s weirdness isnatural to the point that the viewerdoesn’t question his loyalty toAbby once things get out of hand.Chloe Moretz, who recently gainedacclaim for her role as Hit Girl inKick Ass, is fantastic as a girl whosays she has “been 12 for a verylong time.” Moretz projects an in-nocence that is crucial to Abby as a

sympathetic character.Let Me In just feels different

than other American movies. Thepace is much slower than regularHollywood fare, especially for thegenre. It never feels like the direc-tor is rushing to get to the next bitof horror. Instead, characters inter-act with each other, relationshipsevolve, and when violence occursbecause of Abby’s ferocious urges,the effect is striking.

The film is excellent, but it isworth asking whether or not it re-ally needs to exist. By sticking soclosely to the tone and plot of theoriginal Swedish film, Matt Reevesmay have prevented Let Me Infrom finding a much wider audi-ence than its predecessor. Thebiggest difference between the twoversions is that this version doesn’thave subtitles, and the type ofviewer that is totally put off bysubtitles in foreign films will stillhave trouble getting into Let Me Inbecause of its atypical pacing andstructure.

Blonde RedheadPenny Sparkle4AD

Blonde Redhead abandoned the abrasiveness thatdefined their early material on 2004’s Misery is aButterfly, and they’ve only been getting dreamierever since. Their latest record – Penny Sparkle –finds the trio of Kazu Makino and twin brothersSimone and Amedeo Pace taking their band’sshoegazer sound in more electronic directions.

Blonde Redhead has been called everything

from a Sonic Youth rip-off act to indie pop’s an-swer to Cocteau Twins. With this record, the bandhas developed their evocative dream pop evenfurther by experimenting with synthesizers in astyle that is reminiscent of electronic pioneerslike New Order, Kraftwerk, and Giorgio Moroder. As a result, Songs such as “Prison Or Love” and“Here Sometimes” have an atmosphere that isequal parts dub electronica and Gothic dreampop. Very few of Penny Sparkle’s songs approachthe heartbreaking depth of “The Dress,” fromtheir previous record, 23, but the title track is oneof the most subtle and stunning works thatBlonde Redhead has written in years.

Unfairly, Penny Sparkle is bound to be BlondeRedhead’s most divisive album. The band hasalmost entirely traded in their guitars for an elab-orate set of synthesizers—a decision that is likelyto alienate fans of the group’s early Touch and Gomaterial.

In truth, Penny Sparkle’s ten songs feature thesame breathy atmosphere, romantic lyrics, andhaunting melodies that the band’s previous al-bums had. Blonde Redhead have long preferredatmosphere over any adherence to a strict set ofinstruments, and Penny Sparkle proves that thistrio is open to the grand possibilities of change.

Sufjan StevensThe Age of AdzAsthmatic Kitty

At first listen, The Age of Adz sounds like it’ll bea moodier continuation of the stylistic folk thatSufjan Stevens has been perfecting for the betterpart of the last decade. “Futile Devices,” the firsttrack on the album, starts with delicately fingerplucked guitars and subtly orchestrated accom-paniments, all supporting Sufjan’s fragile but

beautiful voice.First impressions, though, have rarely been

so wrong.On the whole, The Age of Adz is as much of a

game-changer as Beck’s Odelay was. “Too Much”signals the sea change in Stevens’ approach to thebest effect. Full of synthesized beats, sci-fi soundeffects, and oddly syncopated rhythms, “TooMuch” delivers the pop goods and a wicked flutesolo. The album veers into several directions atonce, delivering everything from the spookyhorns and robotic beats of the title track, to an un-settling chanting chorus and breakbeat in “I Wantto be Well,” to the auto-tuned, 25-minute mag-num opus, “Impossible Soul.” Some of this does-n’t work, but amazingly – most of it does.

After several listens The Age of Adz begins toalmost coalesce into a definitive Sufjan Stevensalbum. The bombast of Illinois is present, butthe much more serious lyrical approach and thegeneral downtrodden vibe reminded me of SevenSwans. If this album isn’t as successful as eitherof those albums, it’s only due to Stevens’ ambi-tion, a quality that is always welcome from some-one with as great of pop sensibilities as he has.

DeerhunterHalcyon Digest4AD

Within the first thirty seconds of turning of thefirst track of this record my months of anticipa-tion were finally appeased and I finally could behappy.

The fourth full length album by Deerhunter,Halcyon Digest strips down the sounds of theirprevious albums into a dreamy cascade of puremusical devotion. The album appears to have no

cohesive direction and yet is full of thought; anunimaginable parallel between the planned andthe spontaneous coexist effortlessly through outthe entire album. Lyrically, front man BradfordCox takes us through dreamy life questions tolovely farewells based on prostitution stories.

The final song on the record “He would HaveLaughed” is dedicated to the late, great JayReatard, and truly translates an entire fan baseworth of sadness. Although all songs are excep-tional, the tracks “Revival” and “Helicopter”stand out. “Helicopter” has the ambience that al-lows you to float with Cox as the fuzzed out wa-ter drops and electro acoustic guitar brings youinto the vagueness of a Dennis Cooper story.

The excitement and sadness that subsists inour memories is spoken in a simple and engulf-ing way on Halcyon Digest. When the album wasover—like in movies where a character has a neardeath experience and their life flashes before theireyes—I felt in each song a moment, a feeling, anda time in my life.

Sports Editor: Jonathan [email protected]

the carillon, Oct. 7-20, 2010sports

Andy Fantuz continues to shine forthe Saskatchewan Roughriders. Isthere a threat of him going to theNFL eventually?

Jonathan Hamelin: I don’t think so.There have been so many amazingreceivers in the CFL like GeroySimon and Ben Cahoon that havefailed or not even attempted to makethe jump. If these receivers didn’t, Idon’t think Fantuz will. He can keepcatching those touchdown passesthough!

Ed Kapp: I’d say no. He’s a big targetfor any quarterback, but he doesn’tpossess the athleticism to get openand make people miss in the NFL.Considering that he hasn’t played acomplete season since 2007 and israpidly approaching 30, I think he’sgot a permanent home in the CFL.

Autumn McDowell: No, not achance. I know that Fantuz thinks hedeserves a look, but you can be asomebody in the CFL and an ab-solute nobody in the NFL. The guy’sgood, but he’s not NFL good.

Edward Dodd: There is always athreat that great players in the CFLwill end up in the NFL. So I’d sayyes. Of course, the appropriate re-sponse to this is “good for him, Ihope he does awesome and makes aton of money.” The response I willhave, however, is “goddamn it, welost another one. Maybe he won’tmake the team and have to comeback.” Regardless of how selfish thatis.

There continues to be talk of a newstadium in Regina. What are yourthoughts on the situation?

Hamelin: I love watching games out-doors. The atmosphere is amazingand I don’t know if it would be thesame in a domed stadium. However,I understand that the stadium wouldbe a boost to Regina’s economy andnot just for the Roughriders. I thinkwe’re a long ways away from a deci-sion in either event.

Kapp: I love football and concerts asmuch as anyone, but it’s crazy tothink about spending over $400 mil-lion on a stadium when there aremore pressing issues that should beresolved first. I think it is irresponsi-ble to put that much tax money intoservices that really only benefit a se-lect few.

McDowell: Obviously, having adome stadium for those freezing coldgames would be a definite plus.However, I shudder to think of whatwould happen with all of that noisein an enclosed space.

Dodd: I think a new stadium wouldbe awesome, but maybe more alongthe style of Empire Field than aDome. This would be a nice compro-mise between people who wouldrather repair Mosaic Stadium andpeople who want to build a dome.Also, it’s likely not nearly as expen-sive. Of course, as with all compro-mises, no one would be happy withit.

Do you follow the NHL? Who areyou cheering for this season?

Hamelin: I like to live by a motto ofECTBE. That means I cheer for EveryCanadian Team But Edmonton. Ihate Edmonton! My friends thinkthis is stupid, but I have not watchedclosely enough to cheer for just oneteam.

Kapp: I have zero interest in hockey.Ever since I got the NFL Network atmy house I’ve watched about three

accumulative minutes of “puck” inthe last two years, so I’m probablynot the right guy to ask.

McDowell: Yes, I most definitely do.OK, I hate to admit this, but I will bewatching the Oilers. Since they fin-ished last in the league last seasonthey can’t really get any worse. Atleast I won’t be disappointed withtheir performance even if they suckthis season.

Dodd: I don’t follow it closely, justenough to know if Toronto is doingwell, which brings me to who I amcheering for: Toronto. I know theyare terrible, and I know this year isnot likely to be any different, butthere is a part of me that can’t letthem go. Maybe if I believe hardenough they’ll make the playoffs thisyear. Some of us still believe in mir-acles.

What has surprised you the most sofar through the first couple ofweeks of the NFL season?

Hamelin: There have been a num-ber of things. No Cincinnati Bengalsplayer has been arrested, MichaelVick has stayed dog-free, there hasbeen as many bad referee calls as inthe CFL and the league has foundmore ways to stretch out a broadcasteven longer.

Kapp: At 3-0, the Kansas City Chiefshave been a very pleasant surprise.Through excellent drafting and keyfree agent signings, Scott Pioli hasturned the recently-dreadful Chiefsinto potential contenders in less thanthree years. Although everyonecould see that the Chiefs have beenconsistently getting better sincePioli’s arrival, I’m not sure if anyonepredicted a 3-0 start in 2010.

McDowell: Probably that Buffalo is0-4. I’m kidding. This isn’t surprisingat all because they are utterly brutal.Maybe that Adrian Pederson is only

second in the entire league for totalrushing yards, he should clearly befirst. Go Vikings!

Dodd: The most surprising thing inthe past few weeks is that I actuallyknow a bit about what’s going on.But other than that, I am not sur-prised by anything. Maybe it comesfrom a lack of knowledge about lastseason, but everything is going alongabout like I would expect it to. TheJets and the Saints are doing welland the Lions and Panthers are do-ing awful.

The MLB playoffs are starting up.Who do you like?

Hamelin: The only way I’d truly de-vote time to watch the playoffs is ifthe Toronto Blue Jays were in it. So,this may not happen in my lifetime.Seriously though, I hope thePhiladelphia Phillies can pull it off.Roy Halladay, who played forToronto last season, deserves theglory. But, let’s be honest, theYankees have already got this one inthe bags, the money bags that is.

Kapp: I haven’t watched a game ofbaseball in years, but if I had toguess, I would say the Yankees. Ifthe Yankees still pillage the freeagent market every off-season likethey did when I was a baseball fan,they should be a heavy favourite towin the World Series every season.

McDowell: I’m going to go out on alimb and pick the Cubs. Kidding. I’llgo with the New York Roids,whoops, I mean Yankees.

Dodd: I’ve got a good feeling aboutthe Phillies this year, a feeling thatthey’re going to do well. They areprobably eager after losing the WorldSeries to the Yankees last year toprove they can win. I think they aregoing to go out and make it happen.

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy the New York Yankees a championshipnydailynews.com

FFaacciinngg aa lleeggeennddCougars to battle with Wickenheiser’s Dinos in season opener

Jarrett Crowe

Many have regarded HayleyWickenheiser as the greatest women’shockey player in the world.

Wickenheiser, who was born inShaunavon, SK, has representedCanada at the Winter Olympics fourtimes. In the process, she has helpedCanada capture three gold medals andone silver medal, while being namedthe tournament MVP twice.

However, Wickenheiser madeheadlines last month for completelydifferent reasons. The 32-year-oldjoined the University of Calgary Dinoswomen’s hockey team, making theDinos more dangerous in the processand sending shock waves throughoutthe league.

The University of Regina Cougarswomen’s hockey team will be the firstteam to face Wickenheiser and theDinos in the 2010-11 Canada West reg-ular season. The Cougars open uptheir season with home games againstCalgary on Friday and Saturday. Bothgames start at 7 p.m. at the Co-opera-tors Centre.

“We’ll definitely get some peopleout to the game that maybe wouldn’tcome normally,” said Cougars headcoach Sarah Howald. “It’s great thatshe’s here for our first couple of gamesat home.”

For the Cougars, going up againstthe Dinos will mean facing off againstone of their idols in the sport. Cougarscaptain Rae-Lynn Somogyi describedWickenheiser as “the biggest role mod-els for women’s hockey ever.”

“She’s like the legend of girls’hockey,” added Somogyi. “It’s excit-ing, but also a little intimidating[preparing to face Wickenheiser].You’d never even think she’d comeback. I think once everyone gets usedto the fact that she’s just like any one ofus it will be a great challenge.”

Since Wickenheiser’s return, it hasbeen debated whether or not it was afair move on her part to come back.While she does have university eligi-bility remaining, Wickenheiser clearlyboasts skills far superior to the playersshe is to be playing against. Also, her

return will in all likelihood take awaya roster spot for another player.Howald and Somogyi did not have amajor problem with Wickenheiser’sdecision and would have welcomedher on their Cougars.

“I think it’s a good thing, but Ihope she plays all the games and iscommitted to it,” said Howald. “Whenit comes to her taking someone’s rosterposition, that is entirely up to themand how they want to run their pro-gram. She is just one player and younever know how it’s going to affectyour [team’s] dynamic.”

“It could bring a lot of publicity toour league, more fans, and could alsopush us to be a stronger league,” saidSomogyi. “Hockey is a team sport, sowe’ll see how it goes.”

This season, Regina will be focus-ing on more than just Wickenheiser.The team will try to build off their suc-cess last season, which ended whenthey were swept the University ofAlberta Pandas in the conference semi-finals. The Cougars field a roster that isrelatively similar to last year and theyonly added four new recruits duringthe off-season.

“Overall, we can compete withanybody in the league,” said Howald.“It’s just a matter of winning somegames and gaining confidence.Hopefully, getting to nationals this sea-son is a realistic goal for us.”

Somogyi will be looked upon tolead the Cougars this season. Afterspending last season as a co-captain,she is the team’s captain this season.She will not necessarily lead on thescore sheet – she only scored six pointsin 2009-10 – but does provide valuableleadership.

“She works extremely hard all thetime and sets a good example foreverybody,” explained Howald. “Sheis not afraid to tell people when theyare not working hard. She holds peo-ple accountable and leads by exam-ple.”

“It wasn’t a complete surprise [be-ing named captain] but it’s an hon-our,” offered Somogyi. “It gives you alot more responsibility, but I believe Ican handle it. I enjoy being the cap-tain.”

Things have not started off great

for Somogyi and the Cougars. Reginalost all six of its preseason games.

“The preseason was a good build-ing block for us,” noted Somogyi.“There were a lot of positives out of it.We took the top team, Alberta, to ashootout. It also brought out a lot ofthings that we need to work on, likeconsistency.”

The preseason did give Regina achance to raise money for a goodcause. By putting on the MandiSchwartz Challenge in the preseason,along with the Saskatchewan HockeyAssociation, the team raised $2,536.36for Mandi Schwartz. Schwartz, a 22-year-old hockey player from Wilcox,SK, is undergoing cancer treatment inSeattle.

“It was a great honour,” admittedSomogyi. “A lot of us have playedwith her and she’s made a big impacton women’s hockey in Saskatchewan,especially around Regina. We hope shegets better.”

This season, Regina has somework to do on both ends of the ice. Onoffence last seasons, the Cougars aver-aged under two goals a game and hadan average 11.1 power play percent-age. Players like Kelcie McCutcheon(11 goals, 17 points in 2009-10), RianneWight (10 goals, 17 points) and PaigeWheeler (seven goals, 13 points) willbe looked at to provide a spark.

Howald says it all starts with theback end.

“Over the last couple of seasons,we’ve not had an offensive mindsetfrom our defencemen,” she explained.“The key to creating good offence ishaving defencemen that will make agood first pass out of the zone, createsome odd man opportunities for youand take some shots from the pointand be a scoring threat as well. We’veadded a couple of young defencemenwho are very good offensively. I thinkthat’s the biggest thing that’s going tohelp us score more goals.”

Defensively, the Cougars gave upover three goals a game last season. A“slightly misleading” stat, notedHowald.

“We tended to play really well andbe within a goal most of the time,” sheexplained. “We had a few awful gameswhere we allowed seven goals. I thinkwe’re pretty good defensively andwe’re starting in a better place thanwe were last year, because our habits,skills and goaltending situation is bet-ter.”

Lisa Urban is back between thepipes this season after posting a recordof 3-11-0, a 3.02 goals against averageand a .904 save percentage last season.Naticia Leskun and Morgan Cooperwill back her up.

“I think Lisa is one of the bestgoaltenders in the conference if not theentire CIS,” said Howald. “She is solidand gives us an opportunity to winevery night.”

“She’s like the legend of girls’ hockey.”

CChhaarrlleess iinn cchhaarrggeeRams running back rushes into therecord books

Jarrett Crowe

Charles is on a roll this season

Being part of a school’s history issomething that very few players cansay that they have accomplished.However, after this season, one par-ticular Rams player could enter hisname into an elite group of formerRams.

To be mentioned in the same cat-egory as a player like Neal Hughes issomething that takes determination,effort, and support, all of which be-long to Adrian Charles.

The Rams running back is onpace to do something very special thisseason, which could include break-ing and setting multiple records. As itstands, Charles has racked up 667yards and seven touchdowns on theground in just five games. Charleshas three more games to reach 1,000yards, a feat that no player has everdone in a Rams uniform.

As for breaking records, Charleswill need four more touchdowns tosurpass Neal Hughes for the mostrushing touchdowns in a single sea-son by a Ram.

“In the back of the mind I thinkabout it,” Charles admitted. “Iwouldn’t mind breaking that for sure.

It’s a personal goal, but the offensiveline is hoping to do that as well. Theyhave never done it before so it wouldbe great.”

Charles noted that he is also a bitsurprised no other Rams runningback has reached 1,000 yards before.

“Regina has had some great run-ning backs in the past,” he said.

Charles recognizes that he hashad a lot of help in reaching a highlevel of success this season. WhenCharles got the call that he would besuiting up with the Rams, he knew itwas a great opportunity.

“When Frank (McCrystal) gaveme the opportunity to come play, Iwas smiling back home thinking‘wow, I am finally going to get to playsome CIS football,’” he explained.

Once the season finally got un-derway, Charles believes that BernieSchmidt, the Rams offensive coordi-nator, has been one of the keys to hissuccess, saying that Bernie “haschanged the offence from previousyears, from what I’ve heard. He hasmore trust in the run game, also theblocking from our offensive line hashelped me a lot.”

Although Charles says that hisformer team, the Saskatoon Hilltops,“have helped me so much to getready for the next level,” he is still a

bit nervous about the school aspect ofplaying university ball.

“I have a midterm on Mondayand I have a big game this weekend,so do I study for the midterm or do Istudy for the big game?” he pon-dered. “It’s really nerve racking, butthe coaches have given me the toolsto pass my classes.”

The Regina Rams utterly domi-nated the Alberta Golden Bears lastweekend by a score of 40-8, thanks inpart to another great performancefrom Charles who rushed for 104yards and a touchdown. The Ramswill now be heading into a bye week,which Charles believes is needed.

“We definitely need a break fromfootball,” said Charles. “A lot of guysare sore and this week gives us timeto recover our bodies and make surewe’re healthy. Hopefully, we will playat the same high level we did to startthe season after the bye. We will prac-tice as if we were playing a game thatweek. You don’t want to lose focustoo much but we will get to relaxtoo.”

There is no telling what the futureholds for Charles.

“In ten years, if I’m not playingfootball, I would definitely like tocoach football, or help out withcoaching football,” he said. “Even if itwas little after school programs, ordoing something with the commu-nity, I just love working with kids.”

Charles and the Rams will beback in action on Oct. 16, when theymake the trip to Manitoba with thehopes of taking out the Bisons. Thiswill be the second time this seasonthat the Rams and Bisons will squareoff. The Rams took the first contest bya score of 45-11.

RRuunnnniinngg ttoowwaarrddssggrreeaattnneessssWiebe is breezing by the compe-tition – one kilometre at a time

reginacougars.com

Wiebe has won all three events he has raced in this season.

Since Kelly Wiebe made his CIS cross-country debut in 2007 for theUniversity of Regina Cougars cross-country team, he has quietly estab-lished himself as one of Canada’s bestand brightest young athletes – onekilometre at a time.

Despite the fact that Wiebe wasnot formally introduced to the highlycompetitive world of cross-countryrunning until he was in the 11th grade,the engineering major has proven to bea remarkably quick-study. In just overfive years since his first race, Wiebehas gone from an inexperienced new-comer to one of Canada’s finest long-distance runners, even beinghonoured as the Canada West maleathlete of the year in 2009.

Although Wiebe’s 2009 campaignwas unfortunately cut short due to alingering leg injury, he is healthy nowand expects this season to be his mostfulfilling yet, which is really sayingsomething, as despite Wiebe’s injuryhe finished third in the CIS champi-onships last year.

“I’m confident,” Wiebe noted.“There’s no reason why I shouldn’twin every Canada West race this yearand even the CIS championships.Honestly, if I don’t [win a] medal Iwon’t be happy with my season.”

Although expectations for theSwift Current native seem to be at anall-time high after three very impres-sive campaigns with the Cougars,Wiebe knows better than to let thepressure associated with performingat such an elite level get to him.

“I try to keep the pressure at aminimum,” said Wiebe. “That comeswith experience. As you race, you be-come more comfortable in the situa-tions with high-pressure.”

Although Wiebe’s accomplish-ments as an athlete have thus far beenmeasured largely in terms of first-place finishes and championship ap-pearances, Cougarscross-country/track and field headcoach Bruce McCannel believes thatWiebe serves a more significant role to

the Cougars track team than merelybeing a great runner.

“Having athletes run at high levelsis very important, because the moreathletes you have running at a highlevel like Kelly, the more the other ath-letes are going to be pushed along totry and improve,” said McCannel. “Ifthey see somebody with the successthat Kelly has had, they will want towork hard to achieve that. I think as ateam he is very important.”

Despite the fact that cross-coun-try running is generally viewed as anindividual sport, Wiebe has alwaystaken a great deal of pride in contribut-ing more than points to his team.

“My whole gear is towards theteam,” said Wiebe, “The individual as-pect is really nice, but I really like tohave a good team and it’s good tohave my teammates backing me up.”

Even though Wiebe, a reigningfirst team all-Canadian, has a fifth yearof eligibility remaining as a student-athlete in the CIS after this season con-cludes with the CIS Championshipsin Sherbrooke, Que., this November,he finds it hard not to think about apotential career as a professional run-ner after his university days are over.

“Hopefully I can continue runningfor a few more years,” he said. “If I canget a lot better, hopefully I can reachmy other goals, which are pretty highup there. I want to keep the Olympicsin mind, maybe in the marathon.”

Even though Wiebe has set enor-mous goals for himself as an athlete,McCannel believes that he has the abil-ity to achieve even the loftiest of ambi-tions – both for this season and in theyears to come.

“If it’s something that he keeps fo-cusing on, he has all the tools,” saidMcCannel. “He has a good build, hasthe talent and works very hard. So it’ssomething that if he keeps interest inafter university, I think that he has agood future in it.”

For the time being, however,Wiebe is taking it all in stride, or as heputs it, “living the life.”

NNoo ooffffeennccee,, nnoo ppooiinnttssWomen’s soccer team fails toproduce goals

Two matches. No goals.That was the extent of the “offen-

sive production” turned in by theCougars soccer team last weekend inCanada West showdowns with thetop-ranked University of AlbertaPandas and their provincial counter-part, the University of SaskatchewanHuskies.

Despite their inability to find theback of the net, the Cougars managedto secure one point by playing thePandas to a scoreless draw. The tieput an end to Alberta’s season-open-ing six-match winning streak, whileextending the Cougars’ unbeatenstreak to two matches.

The star of Saturday’s match – inwhich the approximate 60 km/hsoutherly wind gusts depositedcountless leaves and garbage on thefield of play – was Regina goalkeeperMichelle Anderson.

The fourth-year BusinessAdministration student stood on herhead in the second half, stopping eachof the nine Alberta shots that werefired toward her. She finished with 11saves, and many were of the spectac-ular variety.

In the 58th minute of play,Anderson dove to her right and

stopped Alberta midfielder ChristinaLe’s 30 long shot on goal. Three min-utes later, she made a spectacular saveby diving to her left and robbing EliseEmmott of a sure goal.

The Cougar back-line also did atremendous job of aiding their keeperby clearing many balls from thepenalty area. In addition, they keptHeather Lund, who came into thecontest as the Canada West co-leaderin goals, off the scoresheet.

When asked about his team’s per-formance against the No. 1 Pandas,head coach Bob Maltman felt hissquad was able to keep them from es-tablishing any rhythm.

“I thought we played with as-sertiveness and determination againstAlberta,” he said.” We defended quitewell from front to back and got stuckinto tackles in an effective manner.”

Unfortunately, Maltman felt histeam was not as consistent againstPandas as theywere versus the Huksies and that wasevident in the final score: a 3-0Huskies victory.

“Against the U of S, we were notas composed as we needed to be withthe ball at our feet,” explainedMaltman. “We were guilty of trying toforce balls when simple passes wereavailable and this led to us giving theball away many times.

“Some of our players that need to

play well didn’t play well. We needplayers who will rise to the occasionand not back off with the opportunityto be a showcase in front of the homecrowd.”

The Huskies made good on a pairof defensive blunders by the Cougarsin the opening half of Sunday’s match.

Elizabeth Hudon drew first bloodfor her squad in the 28th minute whenshe rushed hard to the net – splittinga trio of Regina defenders – and de-posited a loose ball behind Anderson.

Two minutes later DanielaFuenzalida ran up the left flank – pasttwo defenders – and netted her fifthgoal of the season from 15 yards out.

Hudon would later tally her sec-ond goal of the match, with a wickedstrike that had eyes only for the topleft corner of the goal.

Huskies keeper and Prince Albertnative Alicia Middlebrook made threesaves for her second shutout in asmany days.

“It’s a disappointment for ourcampus, our team ... and for all thepeople who gave up two hours oftheir time to come and watch that per-formance,” said Maltman.

The loss to Saskatchewandropped the Cougars to 2-4-2, leavingthem eighth in the conference stand-ings.

Although the Cougars’ goal ofrecording six victories in 2010 is stillpossible, Maltman knows it will be anuphill climb, especially after Sunday’sloss.

In order to achieve that goal, how-ever, the Cougars must find ways tocreate quality scoring chances.

“We need to work effectively atgetting balls into the 18-yard box withplayers running into positions for achance to score, as opposed to hopefulballs from 35 or 40 yards out,” notedMaltman.

Regina has a bye this weekend,but will return to action on Oct. 16,where they will be looking for the sea-son sweep of the University ofCalgary Dinos. They battle theUniversity of Lethbridge Pronghornsthe next day. Both games start at 12p.m., at Cougars/Rams Field.

The Cougars have been shutout four times this season.

The Cougars are young but explosive

Although the Cougar Men’s hockeyteam could not get much younger, itappears as though they will be a forceto be reckoned with this season.

The Cougars went on the prowland got their first Canada West winthis past weekend, while they brokein their new home of the Co-operatorsCentre. Unfortunately, the big firstwin did not come on Friday. Eventhough the hometown boys werebadly out-shooting the University ofSaskatchewan Huskies, they justcould not put one past Huskies goalieDavid Reekie and as a result lost thecontest by a score of 2-0.

Returning Cougars forwardLinden Wilcock, who was out withinjury, thoughtthat “David Reekie had a solid per-formance in net, which was a factor.”The Cougars came back to redeemthemselves on Saturday against theHuskies, getting their first “W” by ascore of 2-1. Terrance DeLaronde andCody Gross scored the goals. Reginawas kept off of the score sheets untilthe final frame when DeLaronde tiedthe game up. Cody Gross then cameto Regina’s rescue as he took a backdoor feed from Matt Strueby on thepower play to light the lamp. Afterthe win, multiple players stated that“it feels good to get that first win outof the way”.

Cody Gross will be one of themany young guns that the Cougarswill be counting on to step in and per-form immediately. However, the teamwill also need help from the veterans.Regina’s top goal-scorer, Craig“Cutter” Cuthbert will be returningwith the Cougars after a stellar rookieseason in which he led the team inpoints with 16 in 28 games.

Although the roster is young tosay the least, the majority of theCougars players are highly skilled,many of which are joining theCougars after stints in the WesternHockey League. Matt Strueby andBrett Leffler are both highly skilledforwards coming to the Cougars afterspending multiple seasons with theRegina Pats. Both players deservemore looks from scouts. Althoughthey may not have blazing speed,their work around the net and theirwillingness to battle in the corners istop notch. The Pats duo already haschemistry and is sure to see lots of icetime with the Green and Gold thisseason.

Other notable rookies are TylerPenny and AJ Whiffen, who are bothcoming to the Cougars after playingtogether in Weyburn. Tyler Penny iscoming off of his best season with theRed Wings, having scored 46 points in57 games last season while Whiffenhad the best goals against average inthe Saskatchewan Junior HockeyLeague at 2.26 and the second bestsave percentage at .924. Whiffen willbe battling against Shayne Barrie forthe backup spot to returning goalieAdam Ward, who was named theplayer of the game on Saturday. Alsocoming to the Cougars from the SJHLis defenceman Jordan Reeve, whopiled up 20 points in 27 games in hislast season with the MelvilleMillionaires.

The Cougars were ranked 6th inthe conference based on a preseasoncoaches’ poll. They will be back in ac-tion on Friday and Saturday, whenthey will make the trek to Manitoba totake on the Bisons. This will be a goodtest for the Cougars, as they will lookto get their first road win against ateam who were ranked 2nd in the pre-season poll.

KKeeiitthh wwaass tthhee mmaannRiders’ former running back was agame changer

I miss Kenton Keith.Watching Toronto

Argonauts running back CoryBoyd shred the SaskatchewanRoughriders defence for 145yards and 20 carries Saturdaymade me realize how excitingit is to watch a stellar runningback.

Now, the Riders did bestToronto 27-16, but the fact isBoyd is an amazing playmakerand so was Keith when he wasstill with the Roughriders.

Keith truly had to workhard to earn a roster spot withthe Riders. He fought to make itoff of the practice roster for acouple of seasons before heeven got a chance to start. Thischance came in 2003, whenKeith rushed for 709 yards and

five touchdowns. From that mo-ment on, Keith became the bonafide starter for the Green andWhite.

Over the next three seasonswith Saskatchewan, Keith twiceeclipsed the 1,000-yard rushingmark, racked up 16 rushingtouchdowns and added over1,000 yards receiving and fivetouchdowns. He was named aWest Division all-star in 2004and 2006 and was also namedthe West most outstandingplayer in 2006 – a year in whichhe rushed for over 1,000 yardsand earned over 500 receivingyards.

Stats aside, Keith was sim-ply an entertaining runningback to watch. He could jukedefenders like nobody’s busi-ness. Keith had the speed to at-tack the hole and take the ball tothe end zone on any play.During his years with theRiders, the running game wasreally a focal point for the

Riders offence. There were al-ways question marks surround-ing the passing game so Keithwas always relied on.

Now, it has been said bysome that Keith was not the bestteam player. There were sup-posedly some incidents thatnever really surfaced to the pub-lic. Keith was arrested outside anightclub in Indianapolis in2008, but this was after his timewith the Riders.

While Keith may have notalways been a team player, hesure stepped up for his teamwhen they needed him themost. He single-handedlyhelped the Riders defeat theWinnipeg Blue Bombers in the2003 West semifinal inWinnipeg. In the 2006 Westsemifinal in Calgary, Keithrushed for 141 yards and twotouchdowns as the Riders up-set the Stampeders 31-21. A longtouchdown run by Keith in thesecond half on the first play

from scrimmage helped turnedthe tide for the Riders.

Now, I mean no disrespectto current Riders running backWes Cates. Cates has played acrucial role for the Green andWhite over the last couple ofyears. Since coming over to theRiders basically after Keith de-parted, Cates has rushed fornearly 4,000 yards, and earnedover 1,500 receiving yards. Heplayed a huge role inSaskatchewan’s 2007 Grey Cupvictory.

It is also hard to complainabout the success the Ridershave had recently. The Greenand White have been one of theelite teams in the league overthe last couple of seasons,largely thanks to Darian Durantand the passing game. Theyhave not really had to rely onthe running game as much any-more.

However, just imagine howmuch more dominant theRoughriders could be with anexplosive running back likeKeith to go along with theirstrong aerial threat. Cates is stilla good all-around back, but hisnumbers are starting to drop.

The Leader-Post and TSNcombined to make an all-timeRoughriders team recently.Cates was chosen as the backuprunning back to George Reed.While I respect what Cates hasdone for the organization, Iwould have to disagree. If I hadto hand the ball to Cates orKeith, I would pick Keith anyday.

Keith could bring some ex-citement to the Riders roster –and that’s saying something.

the carillon, Oct. 7-20, 2010op-edRR..II..PP.. eettiiqquueetttteeOnline bullying is not a new phe-nomenon. It was done with chat-rooms and e-mails long before theinvention of Facebook, Twitter, orany other social networking site.Sadly enough, people committingsuicide over online bullying isn’tsomething that cropped up withFacebook, either.

What is new – and equally dis-gusting – is people being able to con-tinue to attack someone after theyare no longer alive to defend them-selves. This is made possible in afew ways. First, Facebook does notdeactivate an individual’s accountafter they are deceased unless a fam-ily member contacts the site to ex-pressly request it. So people who are“friends” with the deceased onFacebook can still post on his/or her“wall.”

Secondly, and most commonly,Facebook allows its’ users to create“groups” – basically open forumsfor posting content, based around acommon theme. Quite often, aftersomeone passes away, a close friendor family member will create agroup meant to keep the memory ofthe deceased alive, as well as pro-vide an outlet for grieving for thoseleft behind. For many of these grouppages, the privacy level is set to“open,” which allows anyone with aFacebook account to post.

This problem is clearly illus-

trated in the case of Billy Lucas, the15-year-old Indiana boy who com-mitted suicide after allegedly beingbullied for being gay. On theFacebook memorial page created forLucas, the bullying continued.Lucas’ family, already grieving, weresubject to humiliating and degrad-ing comments about their son,brother, and grandson.

Even the comments meant to behelpful and supportive were not al-ways taken as such – his motherclaimed Lucas was not homosexual,and she resented the members of thegay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgen-der community that flocked toLucas’ memorial page to defendhim.

Slain North Delta teen LauraSzendrei’s memorial page was rid-dled with similar malicious com-ments. Both of these cases receivednational attention.

What does it say about our soci-ety when we attack those who aren’teven alive to defend themselves?When we add to legitimate grievingby saying ridiculously awful things?We as a society seem to have thisidea that typing things into a com-puter voids the emotional contentof what we’re saying.

That idea couldn’t be morewrong. Real people read those com-ments. It’s disgusting that some peo-ple can treat other human beings

with such disrespect, especially inthe case of someone who is de-ceased.

If you wouldn’t say somethingto someone’s face, then you should-n’t say it on his or her Facebookpage, either. So you didn’t like theperson who passed away – thatdoesn’t mean you need to broadcastit to the world. Keep your sandboxarguments out of the ring of griev-ing people who want to rememberpositive things about their lovedone. No one in this world is perfect.Once someone has passed away,people only want to remember goodthings.

Hiding behind a computerscreen doesn’t make you cool. Itdoesn’t render your commentsmeaningless or emotionally void.Try to remember that the GoldenRule applies on Facebook just asmuch as it does in real life – treatothers how you want to be treated. Ifyou don’t have anything nice to say,don’t say anything at all.

And stay the fuck off memorialpages if you’re not going to be po-lite.

LLooookk bbootthh wwaayyssThese days, students or guests to theUniversity of Regina need to look bothways before crossing the pedestriancrosswalk between Lot 15 and theRiddell Centre.

It is not guaranteed they will safelymake it to the other side.

Impatient drivers have made thecrosswalk dangerous and are puttingpeople’s lives at risk. The main prob-lem is drivers trying to zoom over thecrosswalk before someone has thechance to walk across. I have seen carsdrive through when someone is nearlyhalfway across the street. People willoften have to stop to let a car gothrough.

This should not be happening. Itshould be the cars, not pedestrians thathave to yield at a pedestrian crosswalk.Crazy logic, I know.

I don’t know what these driversare rushing for. Do they really want toget to class that badly? Are they late forwork? Or are they just inconsiderateassholes that don’t have the self-controlto wait for someone to cross the street?

In all reality, it might take a driver30 seconds to wait for everyone tocross the street before they drive. Whodoesn’t have the time to wait 30 sec-onds?

All of this crazy driving is going tolead to someone getting hurt or possi-bly killed. Last winter, I saw someonecome to a screeching stop an inch awayfrom knocking a pedestrian onto theground. Earlier this semester, I wit-nessed a man driving by the crosswalk

talking to someone next to him whilethere was a girl walking across thecrosswalk. The man appeared to slowdown, but suddenly sped up andbumped the girl. Luckily, she was notdirectly in front of the car and was notapparently hurt. If she had taken an-other step she could have been seri-ously injured.

Unfortunately, it may just takesomeone dying before people realizehow important it is to stop and wait be-fore they drive across the crosswalk.

22001100:: AA SSppaaccee OOddyysssseeyyThere seems to be some new interest inthe quest to prove extraterrestrial life.

If I were to put a definitive begin-ning on the renewed interest in aliens,I would say it is Stephen Hawking’slatest opinion on what extraterrestrialsmight be like. His assertion that meet-ing with aliens would be devastatingto humanity caused a lot of stir amongjournalists and scientists alike.Hawking fears that alien society willbe nothing like human society, makingit impossible to communicate and topeacefully coexist with them.

He goes on to say that for thealiens to have travelled here, theywould be so technologically advancedthey would destroy us out of sheerdisdain for our puny minds. His mostfearful assertion is that these extrater-restrials might be nomads that travelfrom planet to planet obliterating alllife and consuming all the natural re-sources available, then moving on toanother planet, continuing their spree

forever. It’s a wonderful theory from ar-

guably the smartest human alive, butit sounds familiar ... Oh wait, that’sthe plot to Independence Day starringWill Smith. Either Hawking has theimagination of a Hollywoodscriptwriter, or he fell asleep in front ofthe television with the Space Channelon. I guess it is comforting to knowthat if this scenario does play out WillSmith is still around to save humanity.

Another story that’s captured afew headlines are the claims made byretired US Airmen that aliens havebeen landing and making the missileshoused in the US and UK inoperable.They say that this has been going onsince 1948 and has occurred as recentlyas 2003. Their most shocking statementwas that they were going to releaseseveral recently declassified docu-ments that would prove their claims.

At first, I was excited. Aliens doexist, and they care enough about thesurvival of our species that they woulddisable our nuclear missiles so we can-not destroy each other. Upon furtherthought, I realized that dismantling

our nuclear stockpile might just be aprecursor to their invasion of Earth.Of course, if our “Independence Day”theme is to be followed, it’s not goingto matter whether we have the nuclearoption; the shields on their mothership are probably much too strong tobe penetrated by a nuclear blast.

Furthering the plausibility of ex-traterrestrial life, scientists have foundan exoplanet (a planet that is notwithin our Solar System) in what’scalled the “Goldilocks Zone” of inhab-itability. For Trekkies, that means it isa Class M planet. For everyone else, itmeans it could support life.

Orbiting a red dwarf star just 20light years away, Gliese 581g is one ofthe closest known exoplanets thatcould conceivably foster life. Eventhough one side always faces its starand the other faces away (much likethe moon in relation to Earth), the ‘twi-light zone’ between the light and darkside of the planet would allow life topotentially take hold.

However, that does not mean lifeexists there. Some scientists have putthe possibility of life there as near zero,

while others have stated it is likelycloser to 100 per cent probable. Ofcourse, this is not the home planet ofthe aliens that would visit earth. But itgives hope that life might exist some-where outside of our Solar System andgives further evidence that Earth is notunique in supporting life.

Almost as a culmination of theseevents, a rumour started to swirl thatDr. Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian as-trophysicist, was to be named theChief Ambassador to Extraterrestrialsfor the United Nations should human-ity ever make contact. Both Othmanand the United Nations later deniedthis rumour, although Othman statedit wouldn’t be a bad idea to be pre-pared for such an event.

Of course, such a position wouldbe a huge waste of government moneyand would probably become one ofthe most shiftless and useless organi-zations ever formed by humans. Thismeans the pamphlet entitled “Let’sSay You’re the First Human Ever toMake Alien Contact” becomes evenmore important for every good globalcitizen to read. (Google it, it is pretty

funny and makes some good points.)So where does this leave us?

Should we fear meeting with extrater-restrials as Hawking suggests, orshould we prepare for it with great an-ticipation like Dr. Othman asserts?

Personally, I’d like to see a greaterpreparation for an eventual encounterwith aliens, and naming an official am-bassador would be the least humanitycould do. I cannot really justify thecosts with any concrete evidence, butthe sheer number of stars in the galaxyis enough to convince me that humansare not the only life in the galaxy. Thatsame ridiculous number of starsmakes it possible that one of the lifeforms found a way to make interstellartravel possible.

Having an ambassador in placebefore aliens arrive would mean noembarrassing bickering in front of ouralien guests about whom they shouldspeak to.

Plus, if the UN has an alien ambas-sador, maybe I can be appointed tothat position myself. That is this sci-ence fiction enthusiast’s dream job.

Dear Dumbass,You live three houses downfrom me, but you continuallypark your car in front of myhouse, even when there’s a spotin front of yours. (Therefore,you are a dumbass.) My ques-tion to you is, do you put yourbackpack down three chairsaway in your accounting vlass inED 621? I wouldn’t be sur-prised, you are a dumbass whoprobably wouldn’t recognize meanyway.

It’s nice and all to let the smok-ers hang out in designated areastogether. But if you’re just mov-ing them a few feet from thedoor, I’m still going to get lungcancer when I walk across thegreen. SMOKING = BAD +GROSS + DISGUSTING. Stoptrying to kill your fellow humans.
