Five Ontario university students arehungry for awareness.

Starting yesterday, these stu-dents began a 19-day campaigncalled Food for Thought , co-ordi-nated by the Ontario Undergradu-ate Student Alliance.

Participants are attempting to eata healthy, balanced diet on only

$7.50 a day. The figure is based on theamount budgeted for food by theOntario Student Assistance Program.

OSAPs 2009-2010 outline formonthly living expenses sets aside$1,045 for a single student living away from home. This amount cov-ers all living expenses, including

food, shelter, transportation andmiscellaneous. Out of the $1,045,

$226 is allotted for food, which works out to the determined $7.50 aday or $2.50 per meal.

As the five students make their way through the OSAP diet experi-ment, they will track their progressthrough videos and blog posts onthe OUSA website.

I went grocery shopping lastnight and kept a running tally of

everything as I was going throughthe store, said Andrew Beach, afifth-year student at WesternsHuron University College who isparticipating in the campaign.

Yesterday morning Beachsbreakfast included toast with peanutbutter, milk and orange juice from

concentrate, which he watereddown to increase the quantity.

Im trying to keep a balanceddiet, but its going to be tough,Beach said. He also mentioned hesconsidering contacting a registereddietician for tips on maintaining ahealthy diet on a smaller budget.

OSAP diet has students tightening belts

By Cheryl StoneGazette Staff

The University of Toronto was forced to curb its invest-ment strategy after losing 30 per cent of the schoolspension and endowment funds in a single year.

According to the Globe and Mail , the changes comefrom a report by a blue-ribbon panel led by a formerchancellor and major donor to the school.

The panel recommended the University move theindependently operated University of Toronto AssetManagement in-house. Other recommendations includ-ed changing the governance structure of UTAM andappointing a chief investment officer for the University.

I dont think they really knew what they weredoing. said George Luste, president of the University of Toronto Faculty Association.

UTAM was brought in so U of T could follow in thefootsteps of universities such as Harvard, which havemore aggressive investing practices.

They thought they could just emulate someoneand hire people to carry it out, but its not that simple,Luste added.

David Naylor, president of U of T, confirmed admin-istration will be following the reports recommenda-tions, in general. He said they will take other inputs intoconsideration such as legal advice and discussions with affected stakeholders.

Luste was more skeptical.My view is its just going to bring the problem in-

house.What they dont discuss in the report is whetheror not we should be trying to outguess the stock mar-

Birds arent the only onestweeting

Westerns increasing use of socialmedia continued Monday with aday-long Twitter-based trivia con-test celebrating Founders Day.

Were trying to make it into abig thing, Mathew Hoy, senior webdesigner at Western, said of the day celebrating the universitys estab-lishment. Its kind of a grassrootsinitiative, so the more we get peo-ple talking or thinking about it thebetter.

Hoy said last years FoundersDay was just a blip on the radar, without much promotion. This years trivia question campaign hadtweets from several fans on Twitter.The status updates were alsoliked several times on Facebook,Hoy noted.

Westerns Facebook and Twitteraccounts have grown to more than6,000 fans in about two years.

This isnt Westerns only use of social media. By using TweetDeck, athird-party Twitter program, Hoy said the University can follow tweets and conversations mention-ing Western.

Hoy said high school students will often announce their accep-tance to Western on Twitter. Inresponse, Western will send a tweetof congratulations.

It lets us engage new people,new students before they get here,and lets us keep in touch withalumni, Hoy said.

The school also uses a Flickraccount, which allows students topost pictures of the Western com-munity and lifestyle.

I think that if youre not inter-ested in experimenting in thesekinds of things I have a feeling like youre not going to get anywhere.

Western grad lubing lips the natural way By Meagan Kashty Gazette Staff

Organic beauty is in the eye of the beholder.Unsatisfied with the makeup available to her from cos-

metic wholesalers, Western graduate Stefana Karadjamirlibegan mixing her own lipsticks after graduating in 2008.

The result of the endeavour was Cherry Crush Cosmetics

a company committed to creating a natural, vegan, luxelipstick, as described on the website.

I only found out about two years ago about the chemi-cals that go into standard cosmetics, Karadjamirli said. Irandomly stumbled about it in passing and did a lot moreresearch. I found [most lipsticks] included lead, petrolatumand other harmful chemicals.

Cherry Crush Cosmetics is one of several cosmetics com-panies that have hopped on the organic bandwagon.

We do get some requests for [all-natural cosmetics], saidMonika Gokstorp, owner of Beautiful Creatures Makeup a

professional makeup service. Its getting bigger and biggeras people start to worry about the concentration of chemi-cals in their skin.

Gokstorp recommended people with exceptionally sensi-tive skin should look into natural products. However, she

added: Its really something I cant assess or recommendunless I meet the person and assess their skin type.

Caitlin Neal, a second-year social science student at West-ern, noted shed rather have natural oils in her cosmetics thananimal byproducts.

I think people will be willing to pay for good quality as long as its not extremely expensive, Neal said.

Karadjamirli acknowledged the appeal of low cost cos-

metics.I think the most important thing that separates me

from other companies is that its affordable, Karadjamirlisaid. I found there was a lot of natural cosmetics out there,but nothing was affordable.

Karadjamirli also emphasized the importance of quality control. As all products are made in her basement, she hasfull supervision on what products are sold.

I have seen some success in the past month, but its beengrowing slowly, she said. Now Im hoping to grow it moreand maybe sell it to companies and in stores.

ket, Luste said, adding UTAM usedaggressive investment tactics, which were not looked at in thereport.

UTAM was overseeing invest-ments of $3 billion of faculty pen-sions and $2 billion of endowmentfunds, according to Luste.

At Western, two different boardshandle the pension and endow-ment funds.

On the endowment side, theinvestments are managed by pro-fessional investment managementfirms, appointed and monitored by

Westerns Investment Committee,Martin Blanger, director of invest-ments at Western, said.

Westerns two boards theInvestment Committee and Pen-sion Investments have differentgoals and are managed externally.

This strategy is very commonamong universities i.e. most uni-versities will have a small invest-ment staff, an oversight committee,such as our Investment Committeeor our Joint Pension Board, andmost, if not all, of the underlying investments are externally man-aged by specialized firms,Blanger explained.

OSAP falling short, Moulton

Funds down 30 per cent

Beach added the goal of thecampaign is to raise awarenessabout concerns with OSAP and toencourage changes to get the sys-tem working better for students.

The campaign is inspired by thefact that OSAP falls drastically shortof providing the support that stu-dents in Ontario need, Dan Moul-ton, president of OUSA, said. Theimportance of this program is todraw attention to the fact that OSAPisnt doing enough to help students.

I dont expect many of our [par-ticipating] students to have asmooth-sailing [experience],Moulton added.

OSAPs food allowance works

out to just over $50 per week, which was what Geoff Reid, a third-yearstudent at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, estimatedhe spent per week on groceries.

Living close to campus, hechooses to go home to eat ratherthan bringing a packed lunch.

$7.50 doesnt sound like a lot,Reid admitted. I guess its all per-spective.

Suzana Tosic, a second-year artsand humanities student, agreed itall depends on a students lifestyle.

I cooked a lot, so it was lessexpensive than eating out all thetime, Tosic explained.

The Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance has recently launched Food for Thought a campaign to highlight inequities in the Ontario Student Assistance Program. As part of the lobby effort, OUSA has enlisted five students to go 19 days spending only $7.50 a day on food costs the amount budgeted by OSAP.

While OUSAs attempts to address the problems facedby cash-strapped university students are admirable, theFood for Thought initiative is an example of a campaign with no real validity when reasonably considered.

Only $7.50 a day for food appears low, but when oneconsiders that adds up to a monthly total of over $200, theallotment suddenly seems manageable.

The purpose of financial aid is self-explanatory itaims to provide students with financial assistance , notfull-blown support. If students are truly struggling withfinances, they should seek out the numerous scholarshipsand bursaries available for those in financial need many which are often unclaimed. Other options include

Westerns Work Study program, or the old-fashioned route getting a job.

OUSA would be better off using its resources to informstudents about budgeting and other sources of cash.

Its especially difficult to take OUSAs lobby efforts seri-ously when so many students brag about misusing theirOSAP funds most of us have overheard a friend jokeabout using financial assistance to pay for a spring break trip or to fund their bar tab.

OSAP should not have to compensate for the irre-sponsibility of students. OUSAs campaign could beviewed as a slap in the face for those students whoresponsibly budget their finances.

Instead of relying on OSAP exclusively, students shouldbe encouraged to seek part-time work, which could pro-vide a positive learning experience for many. Juggling schoolwork with a job could give many a better under-standing of how to allocate their time.

Its important to note attending university is the choiceof students and their families if that means living on atight budget, so be it. Instead of complaining about theexorbitant costs of university, individuals could alwaysopt to work after high school, and earn enough to pay fortheir studies without taking out a loan.

In the end, being cash-strapped is part of the studentreality. If anything, most students are in desperate need of financial management advice. Learning how to budgetcan be viewed as part of what it means to be a university student. OUSAs campaign simply makes excuses for stu-dents to mismanage their finances rather than encourag-ing them to improve their budgeting skills.

Insteadthe piece was offensive, particularly tothose affected by the tragedy in Chile.Pelley would have better served thecause by exploring the social and politi-cal reasons why many will ignore it,and/or utilized personal stories from within the Western and London com-munity of those with affected family andfriends in the region, adding a personaltouch that may have better convincedreaders to take the time to learn aboutthe situation and help those in need.

the hypothetical any professor, Jaela ispretty sure that Western is full of idiots.The solution to this dire problem:stricter admission requirements, whichis reasonable advice if you also think gyms should only let in fit people. I, forone, was under the impression that uni-versity was not an exclusive club for theintelligent, but a place where peopleimproved themselves. Its not a place where people know, but a place wherepeople learn. So long as you dontalready know everything, you can be amember. What admissions require-ments there are, exist to create the bestatmosphere for those attending. Finiteresources should be put to the greatestgain.

I dont really care if Jaela is an elitistor not. I do care, however, when a per-son wants to restrict the availability of education. The reason of having to sitthrough dumb questions is dispropor-tionate to that kind of response. Evenelitism doesnt justify a complete lack of perspective.

No matter how theseactions are defended or rationalized, itis important that students should atleast be aware of the situation. It isequally important for those who believesuch actions to be justified to have theopportunity to explain their viewpoint.

Undergrad film festival to be a swanky affair Western event aims to step up glamorous and professional feelBy Patrick MartiniGazette Staff

All film enthusiasts still riding ahigh from the weekends pageantry of the Oscars can catch the UWOFilm Festival at Museum Londonthis Friday.

This is the 10th annual festivalhosted by the Western Undergradu-ate Film Society, but this time, thecall has gone out for the men todress to the nines and the womento don their finest frocks.

Festival directors Soha El-Sabaawi and Monica Wang havedecided to put a formal spin on theevent this year to accentuate theiroffer of the best in student film, as well as the growth of the film cul-ture at Western.

Were hoping for a big turnoutthis year. Wed really like to set astandard for years to come, El-Sabaawi says, speaking to the orga-nization and execution of the festi-val. Were expecting more experi-mental and avant-garde submis-sions but we still anticipate a highnumber of genre pieces coming our way as well.

WUFS has noticed an increasein demand for experimental film,and the obvious interest in avant-garde shines through in the con-tent of several submissions. Theevent will offer a real taste of theout-of-the-ordinary for thosethirsty for more artistic forms of cinema.

El-Sabaawi stresses the devel-opment of the film festival andhow the aim is to create a moremature atmosphere.

We want it to be something prestigious. The aim is to give it amore artsy feel the festival

should be a way of bringing thecommunity together, she says.This is our way of encouraging artand I feel the aesthetics of themuseum give it a more profession-al feel.

The professional feel may bedue in part to a sponsorship fromTelus. This is the first year there hasbeen external financial support forthe festival.

The arts and humanities coun-cil suggested we seek additionalfunding from a corporate spon-sor. That way wed be able to offermore generous awards. So Monicacontacted Telus and they werehappy to work with us on this, El-Sabaawi says.

When asked about the proxim-ity of this years festival to the Academy Awards in relation tothe formalized theme of theevent, El-Sabaawi replied with alaugh: Were going for the semi-formal Hollywood glamthing. Being so close to theOscars it should be more of anevent than normal.

Final thoughts from the busy festival director sum-

marize the

new direction of the film showcase.Compared to events like Fringe

and [the London Ontario Live ArtsFestival], the UWO Film Festivalstands alone. We wanted to take itmore seriously obviously not tosay that past festival directorshavent taken it seriously, we just want to introduce this to the largerarts community in London.

So dust off that tuxedo if youvegot one or maybe just wear a nicetie for a classy evening of films.

The UWO Film Festival is this Friday, Mar. 12 at 6 p.m. at MuseumLondon. Tickets are $10, or $5 for WUFS members.

Missed the Oscars?Iraq War feature The Hurt Locker was the big winner at Sunday nights Academy Awards show, winning best picture , best direc-tor and best original screenplay ,among three other trophies. Thefilms director, Kathryn Bigelow , will go down in the record booksas the first woman to win anOscar for directing.

Avatar failed to live up to themassive expectations that itsenormous box office successpromised, as it did not win any-thing outside of the technicalcategories. The James Cameron -directed film won only three of its nine nominations, despitegrossing over $2 billion.

Other big winners includedJeff Bridges for Crazy Heart he finally won best actor afterbeing nominated for an Oscarfour previous times. Sandra Bul-lock took the prize of bestactress for The Blind Side , a day after winning a Golden Raspber-ry for worst actress for her rolein the movie All About Steve .

Precious also took home acouple of trophies it wasgiven the best adapted screen-play award and Monique wonbest supporting actress for herrole as Precious mother.

Christoph Waltz won bestsupporting actor for his role asNazi Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds in his speech heclaimed winning an Oscar pre-sented by Penelope Cruz was anber-bingo.

Other highlights of theevening included Bigelow win-ning the directing award overex-husband Cameron, Bridgesrousing and enthusiastic speechand Ben Stillers presentation,for which he was dressed as aNavi from Avatar .

Also noteworthy was docu-mentary short-winning pro-

ducer Elinor Burkettpulling a Kanye West and

rushing the stage whiledirector Roger Ross Williams attempted togive his acceptance

speech for Music by Prudence .

Bobby Fedder

I love awards shows. While some people dread those

nights when Hollywood icons arecelebrated and praised for theirdays work, I crave them. The satis-faction when a truly deserving actor wins an award, the disappointment

when someone I want to win does-nt, the montages, the perfor-mances I love it all.

So, as you can imagine, I spentall Sunday anticipating the Acade-my Awards the biggest night of the year for movies. Unfortunately,as I sat in my living room, the Hol-lywood glitter didnt seem quite asdazzling as usual.

First of all, there were 10 moviesnominated instead of the usual fivefor best picture. Seriously? Correctme if Im wrong, but I was underthe impression nominations were

to recognize a few of the best mademovies of the year not to openthe floodgate for all movies that did well in the box office and haddecent reviews.

By increasing the number of nominees, it not only gave falsehope to movies clearly not going to win the coveted award, but it alsotrivialized the whole its an honourto be nominated thing.

But lets forget the fact they expanded the number of nomina-tions, or that they took away themusical numbers, or even that the

speeches were yet again shortened.Instead, lets move on to theactual show.

I was ecstatic when it wasannounced Alec Baldwin and SteveMartin were hosting. It seemed log-ical the pairing of their dry yet witty senses of humour would be a for-mula for success. While their one-liners definitely were a hit, the whole set seemed over-rehearsedand uninspired.

That seemed to be the tone forthe entire show as it lacked the raw emotion I love. I dont think the

winners are to blame for this. The Academy decided to shorten theirspeech time, yet again, telling nom-inees to use the press conference toexpress their heart wrenching sto-ries.

This meant even the winners who were all but guaranteed todraw emotion from the audience,such as Precious MoNique, werecut short.

It seemed like the Academy tried to make up for this lack of emotion with the presentation of aThis is Your Life sketch, where

various celebrities talked abouthow great their celebrity friendsare and how deserving they are of the nomination, etc. Id ratherhave each winner get those 30 sec-onds back in their speech so they dont have to choose betweenthanking their husband or theiragent.

But ultimately, Ill have to admit;the Awards drew me back in. Afterthree hours of unfunny jokes, anti-climactic montages and uninspiredfashion, the main categories of thenight threw me for a loop.

Thats the beauty of the Academy Awards.No matter how many mishaps or disap-pointments thenight provides,by the end, Ialways findm y s e l f blinded by the Holly- wood daz-zle.

Academy still misses mark after 82 yearsKashty weighs in on anti-climactic, emotionless Oscar evening

Alice in Wonderland Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, HelenaBonham CarterDirected by: Tim Burton

Tim Burtons take on Alice in Won-derland revisits the magical worldcreated by Lewis Carroll in his liter-ary works Alice in Wonderland andThrough the Looking-Glass . Unfor-tunately, the journey isnt so won-derful.

Set 13 years after her first visit to

Wonderland, (known as Underlandto Burton), Alice Kingsley (Wasikowska) is at a Victorian-eraparty that she quickly realizes is herengagement party. Having no clueon how to answer the proposal, sheruns off and falls down a rabbit holeback to the bizarre, twisted worldshe dreamt of when she was six years old.

Here she discovers Iracebeth,the Red Queen (Carter), has stolenthe ruling crown from Mirana, the White Queen (Hathaway), and gov-erns Underland with a vicious andmacabre ruling. With the help of theMad Hatter (Depp) and the rest of the colourful cast of Underland, itsup to Alice to slay the Jabberwocky

on the Frabjous Day and free theinhabitants from the Red Queenstyrannical grip.

And thats pretty much how thestory goes. There are no extra sur-prises and it lacks the wondermentand bizarreness that were so crucialin Carrolls books or to Disneys takeon Alice . If anything, despite theefforts from Carter and Depp, thefilm screams nothing but ordinary a shock considering Burtonsresum.

The film definitely isnt a rebootof the already famous story of Alice.

Newcomers to the themes and ele-ments of Carroll will be confused,so it is best to have read the books.Having said that, fans of the books will likely be confused and possibly angered by parts that are left outand the mixing of Carrolls plots.

Wasikowska does a wonderful job of playing the rebellious, free-spirited Alice, but Depps perfor-mance as the Mad Hatter, although well executed, seems like it hasbeen done before in his previous works Willy Wonka especially

comes to mind. Hathaway seemsbored and her attempts to seemfairy-like and graceful do nothing if anything, it adds to the dull-ness of the film.

The highlight performance wasBonham Carter as the Red Queen.Her enlarged head the source of many of the jokes in the film along with her demeanour andshrieking of Off with their head!help carry the film past otherwisedull moments.

Having spent $200 million, Bur-tons re-imagining of Underland isvast and dark, with many gothicthemes and post-apocalyptic land-scapes that are breath taking. Bur-ton does a great job intertwining

the live action and CGI effects, butfalls victim in following other big budget fantasy films, with a stereo-typical plot and third act CGI-heavy battle to determine the ruler of thekingdom.

Although a visual treat, the filmfalls short on providing substanceto keep audiences engaged. Thelack of major character develop-ment and the obvious yet oftenconfusing plot advancement failto provide the wonder in Wonder-land.

Burtons Wonderland not-so-wonderful after allSpecial effects cant distract from dull portrayal of Carolls classic

Gazette File Photo

MAYBE IF I JUST LEAN A LITTLE BIT CLOSER ... Tim Burtons highly anticipated version of Alice in Wonderland doesnt quite meet expectations,with an unoriginal performance by Johnny Depp and a disappointing plot.

ON DISC

Hot ChipOne Life Stand EMI

Throughout a decade-long career,British electro-pop group Hot Chiphave masterfully walked the linebetween melodic soulful groovesand jerky dance floor-ready anthems. Hot Chip continues thistradition on their fourth album One Life Stand, this time focusing moreon the former.

The new album is more cohe-sive and mellow than their previousreleases, and depending on whatkind of Hot Chip fan you are, thiscould be a good thing or a badthing.

Musically speaking, Hot Chip isstill on top of their game. One Life Stand furthers their reputation of studio experimentation, mostnotably with an effective use of steel drums. Even elements thatseem instinctually wrong somehow work, and they appear on thealbums most club-friendly tracks.For example, the auto-tuned vocalson I Feel Better dont feel con-trived they just makes sense inthe context of the song.

Other highlights include thegospel tinged Hand Me Down YourLove, the pop-inspired title track,and the mood-shifting album clos-er Take It In, which deserves aplace amongst the greatest songs inHot Chips canon.

Yet, the album is a paradox. While its sounds are far more main-stream than anything theyve donebefore, the album lacks the imme-diate accessibility of its predecessor Made in the Dark . This may be dueto the fact One Life Stand has fewersongs than any of the bands previ-ous three albums, and no song isunder four minutes.

The longer song approach works

fantastically on the six-minuteopener Thieves in the Night, anupbeat song with great percussion.However, the soulful six-minuteSlush is a tiring ballad that drags.Alley Cats, clocking in at 5:21, iseasily the albums most forgettabletrack.

Overall, One Life Stand is HotChips most cohesive album to date. While the album has no hit singleas potent as Ready for the Floorfrom Made in the Dark or And I Was a Boy From School from The Warning , it is still an enjoyable andengaging listen.

Ultimately, though, the thoughtof a more mature sounding HotChip will likely leave fans with

mixed feelings. David Arromba

LAKEHEAD 5, WESTERN 2 - OUA WEST FINAL

Lakehead levels Mustangs in series sweepThunderwolvesoff to nationals, Western optsfor scenic routeBy Daniel Da SilvaGazette Staff

Westerns archrival has done itagain.

Since joining the Ontario Uni-versity Athletics conference at thebeginning of the decade, the Lake-head Thunderwolves have contest-ed six playoff series against theMustangs, never with home-iceadvantage. For the fourth time, theThunderwolves knocked the Mus-tangs out of the Queens Cup raceafter a two-game series sweep onthe weekend.

We played well throughout theseries, just not well enough to winthe West final. Lakehead is a very good team and they showed it,Mustangs head coach Clarke Singersaid.

The defending OUA championsstarted the series on the road, head-ing to Thunder Bay for game one.The Stangs returned to Londonempty handed after a 4-1 defeat,thanks to a 34-save performance by Lakehead goaltender Alex Dupuis.

They are tough to play in theirhome rink. They had a better gameup there than we did and deservedto win, Singer said.

The Mustangs came out with allguns blazing in game two. They were successful in the first period,as Mike Sharp and KeatonTurkiewicz gave them a two-goallead heading into the first intermis-sion.

In what is a tradition for theserivals, the first period saw a lot of physicality and penalties, which

continued throughout the game.The teams combined for 17 penal-ties, totalling 42 minutes.

There is such a history thereand both teams are so committedto winning so its going to be phys-ical, Lakehead head coach JoelScherban said. [In] games like this,

the adrenaline gets running andboth teams are giving everything they have.

In the second period Westerncreated lots of chances, but Dupuis would not let them through.

It was just like the first gameagainst Lakehead where we wouldhave a lot of chances, and not score.Then we would make a crucial mis-take and they would capitalize. Youcant do that against a team likeLakehead, Mustangs captain LucMartin said.

These spurned opportunitieshaunted the Mustangs halfway through the period when RyanMcDonald broke through for Lake-head. McDonalds shot from the topof the circle took a deflection infront, lobbing over goaltender Key-van Hunts head and into the net.

Dan Speer scored a power play goalfor Lakehead with just over aminute left in the period.

We really let them back in thegame and they took full advantage,Singer said. That first goal washuge for them because we had allthe momentum to that point. Weneeded to respond better than wedid.

The Thunderwolves continuedto create chances. Winger ScottDobben intercepted a pass in hiszone and raced down the ice where

he was hauled down by Mustang defenceman Ryan Martinelli.Dobben was awarded a penalty shot, which he fired over Huntsshoulder.

Dobben is just so fast and hegenerates offence with his speed,Scherban said. It was crucial to go

into the intermission with a one-goal lead.

The goal shattered Westernschances as they came out flat in thethird. The Mustangs didnt produceoffensively and Lakehead addedtwo more goals, courtesy of Shan-dor Alphonso and Mark Soares.

We tried to regroup [after thepenalty shot]. But we didnt comeout in the third the way we wantedand they took full advantage,Singer said.

Despite losing out on the OUA

title, the Mustangs still have anopportunity to qualify for the Cana-dian Interuniversity Sport nationalchampionships. Western will play asingle game against the OUA Eastrunner-up, the UQTR Patriotes, forthe final Ontario berth.

Theyre a tough team to play

against. They have a great goal-tender and are a skilled hockey team, Singer said.

Western will need more produc-tion from their top line of Turkiewicz, Aaron Snow and KevinBaker, who combined for 49 goalsand 119 points during the season,but have only managed four goalsthroughout the playoffs.

The Mustangs will also need toget their power play going. Throughseven playoff games, they have only managed to convert on three of

their 36 man-advantages, while giv-ing up two shorthanded markers.We are going to have a good

week of practice and work hard. We will need to cut down the mistakesand stay disciplined, Martin said.We are just going to have to play the best game we can.
