In September 2008, the University
Students’ Council and Campus
Recreation plan to open a fourstory athletic centre adjoined to the
Thompson Recreation Centre.
The $33.9-million facility, which
was approved last February in a referendum during USC elections, will
feature, among other things, five
gyms, a 19,000-square foot cardio
and weight-lifting area, and a 50metre pool.
The facilities are for typical students, not training varsity athletes.
“One of the guiding principles of
this facility is that its primary use is
campus recreation,” said Western
Sport and Recreation director
Michael Lysko.
USC President Fab Dolan
agreed.
“The focus of this project was
always for students at large,” he
said. “More athletics on campus is
always good for varsity athletes, but
the focus was definitely for every student, so the varsity
athletes are still
going to have their
varsity gym and all
the facilities that
they
have
[already].”
The new rec
centre replaces
existing facilities in the University
Community Centre. The USC will
fill that space once the move is
complete.
“Campus Rec will move out [in
2008], so in that September we’re
planning to take over all the space
[in the UCC],” Dolan said. “This
year was about long-term planning, and we spoke about renovations, but we didn’t actually say
what they were going to be. Next
year, we’ll be planning what we do
for that.”
One advantage of the new facilities will be more teams participating in intramural sports.
“There will be a benefit [to
intramurals],” said
Campus Recreation director Geoffrey Vogt. “This moves us up three
gymnasiums in our grand total, so
it’s certainly a big help for the number of intramural teams and the
amount of drop-in opportunities
we can offer.”
Vogt and Dolan said the gyms
will be more accessible for pickup
sports.
Dolan stressed the project’s flexibility, which has evolved since its
conception last year.
“We just wanted to make sure
that the centre was versatile
enough that all students would be
able to
use it,” he said. “The biggest
thing that came up [toward the end
of planning] was the [five] squash
courts.
“The courts had originally been
cut out,” Dolan said. “The USC was
pivotal in terms of the final stages,
coming back and saying ‘Well,
we’ve talked to council and we’ve
talked to students, and this was
really important to them, so let’s
put them back into the design.’”
The building also allows for

additional features, like a warm-up
pool and sixth gym.
However, the plans have been
cut back in other areas to reduce
the square footage and remove
bulkheads originally planned to
divide the pool.
Nevertheless,
all
parties
involved are optimistic the facility
will be a great success.
“One thing which has been
missing here for a very long time is
a level of competitiveness when it
comes to recreational facilities,”
Lysko said. “This will, in one fell
swoop, eliminate that as a barrier.
“I’m extremely excited and very
optimistic this is going to be something that not only is going to be as
good as anybody else’s, it might
even be better. It might be one of
the more vibrant buildings on the
whole campus.”
Lysko said students can expect a
change in atmosphere.
“I think you’re going to find that
it’s going to be a gathering place,”
he said. “If you look at other campuses around North America, the
campus recreation centre becomes
a world of its own.”

upgrade.
“We’re certainly growing the
amount of space we have available
for students,” he said. “This is basically a true campus recreational
facility, which is really a rarity in
Canada and a common piece in the
U.S., and I think it’ll be a real
enhancement for students at Western and for the reputation at Western.”
“I think, by the time it’s actually
built, it’ll be among the best in
Canada,” Dolan said. “It will be
comparable to an upper-tier centre
in the States.”

Candidates tell students why to vote for them Nov. 27
By Elizabeth May,
Green Party of Canada
The Green Party is a party and a
movement committed to focusing
and acting on things that matter.
Survival on this planet is at the top
of the list, but so are achieving a
peaceful world, promoting a culture of non-violence, democracy
and peace, economic development
that is consistent with these goals,
built on a foundation of social and
economic justice. In the words of
the World Social Forum, “a better
world is possible.”
The Green Party of Canada takes
it further: “A better world is not only
possible, it is the only world that is.”
Our current patterns of economic
activity are heading us on a course
to global suicide. Humanity could
survive, but the heritage of human
civilization, thousands of years of
By Megan Walker,
New Democrat Party of Canada
My daughter is at Western —
and like many of you, she’s afraid of
what awaits her when she graduates. How big will her debt be —
and will she get a job to pay it off?
Canada’s and London’s prosperity depends on how well we equip
young people with new skills and
knowledge. I believe you should be
able to focus on your education,
not how you’re going to pay your
tuition or where your next meal is
coming from. We have to stop punishing young people for getting
education and training.
Unfortunately, new graduates
are leaving school with an average
debt of $24,000—an all-time high.
While the Liberals were in power,
tuition fees nearly tripled. It took
the NDP to get them to put money
back into education by forcing
them to cancel their corporate tax
breaks and invest $1.5 billion in
tuition fees.
Just like the Liberals, Stephen
Harper is only helping his well-con-
nected friends. He’s done absolutely nothing to help students.
The NDP is getting results for
students. We’ve unveiled a plan to
double federal student grants, cutting the average debt by 25 per
cent. We’ll also increase federal
transfers for post-secondary education, so provinces can freeze or
roll back tuition and improve the
quality of education by investing in
more teachers.
You’re probably also worried
about the future — and whether
there will be clean air to breathe,
and water to drink. If Stephen
Harper had it his way, you’d have to
wait until 2050 to find out. The NDP
was serious about the environment
long before it was trendy. Unlike the
Liberals, who had 13 years to act to
make our air cleaner, yet made it
dirtier, the NDP is forcing Parliament to take action. It’s the NDP
that’s rewriting Harper’s useless
clean air act.
Jack Layton proved the NDP is
not afraid to stand up to powerful
interests when he stood up and
asked the tough question about our
role in Afghanistan. The Liberals
got us into George Bush’s war in
Afghanistan, and the Conservatives
are keeping us there.
I believe when we ask our troops
to put themselves in harms’ way, it
must be for the right mission. The
Liberal-Harper mission is the
wrong mission.

Conservative Party of Canada
As a woman with a middle class
background that worked through
university I understand the difficulties students are facing. As a Western alumni with four post-secondary degrees I also understand
the value of a quality education.
Education is increasingly necessary to get ahead. Unfortunately,
the cost of post-secondary educa-
tion has become too expensive for
many students and families. Students today face rising tuition fees,
increasing costs for textbooks and
public transit and escalating housing costs.
At the same time, Canada faces
a critical shortage of skilled trades
people and yet the Liberals did little
to encourage young people to
choose a career in the trades.
The Conservative Record:
• Eliminated federal income tax on
all scholarships, fellowships and
bursaries
• Expanded eligibility for student
loans to include more students
from middle-income families
• Created a new $500 tax credit to
help about 1.9 million post-secondary students with the cost of
their textbooks
• Created a new tax deduction for
trades people to help with the cost
of tools used for work
• Established a new cash grant of
$1,000 per year for students in the
first two years of most apprenticeship programs
• Created a new tax credit to help
students with the cost of public
transit

continues!

100.39.C.01
By Glen Pearson,
Liberal Party of Canada
One of the greatest challenges
we all face is the deteriorating environment, especially global warming/climate change. Glen supports
the principles and goals of the
Kyoto Accord. We must all work
together to create an environment
that continues to be safe and nurturing for all people.
On such an important issue the
Liberal Party is more than willing to
use good ideas, whatever their origin. The Conservative government
just does not understand decisions
must be made soon, not in
decades. We must also work to
combat other areas of concern for
the environment, such as unsafe
water and toxins in the community.
The Stephen Harper Conservatives do not understand students
need help in succeeding. The Conservatives cancelled the Youth
Employment Strategy, abandoning
50,000 students, and the Youth
International Internship Program.
Glen Pearson understands one
of Canada’s top priorities is ensuring youth have access to post-secondary education. The Liberals
proposed in the last election that
there be increases to the money
available for grants and for student
loans. Also being proposed is that
the government would pay onehalf of an undergraduate student’s
first and last year’s tuition. The Liberal Party also wants to increase the
funding available for Canadian
youth to study overseas.
Students also want to help the
less fortunate in society. Glen has
been director of the London Food
Bank since its beginning and since
1998 has worked in Sudan on issues
including stopping modern day
slavery and building schools. This
experience has shown Glen how
important it is to work together to
solve the problems of homelessness and child poverty in society.
Canada’s future prosperity
requires youth be given as many
opportunities as possible to participate in post-secondary education.
For example, in the past, the Liberals created the government program that contributes money to
every registered education savings
plan. The Liberal Party understands
that and wants youth to succeed in
the future.
cultural and artistic and institutional learning could be wiped out
as the world lurches through rising
seas, droughts, extreme weather
events and the political instability
that go with it.
It is hard not to sound apocalyptic about the kind of future we
would experience if current ways of
being and exploiting the planet’s
life-support system were not to
change radically. We cannot risk
giving in to despair (not a good
mobilizer!)
Those of you who know me,
know I am an optimist. Why?
Because it is in our power to make
the change. Trends are not predictions.
We have to do what we have to
do. Miracles happen. The life force
of this planet is very strong. Dandelions poke through sidewalks. We
don’t know enough to give up. We
only know enough to know we have
to try to change the course of
human events.
I firmly believe the right place to
be now to change the course of
human events is the Green Party.
You are part of a vast social and
political revolution. We are in a
transformative moment in human
evolution when we will actually
understand that we are not in
charge. We must make the transition to becoming managers of our
own behaviour — not through
hubris and ignorance, deciding we
can “manage” the environment.
We must live within our means —
fiscally and ecologically.
Together we can make a world
of difference.

“Capitalism and communism stand at opposite poles.
Their essential difference is this: The communist, seeing the rich man
and his fine home, says: ‘No man should have so much.

Buy Nothing
Day better than
nothing at all Feminism still has its place today
Today is Buy Nothing Day, a massive initiative meant to
make people reflect on the developed world’s overconsumption. As its name suggests, the day encourages people not to purchase anything for 24 hours.
It’s a creative activism attempt to show North American consumers how much they — often needlessly —
consume. The day shouldn’t be used as an attack on capitalism, as the act of consuming isn’t the overarching
problem. The day should raise awareness and get people
talking about, and hopefully addressing, the implication’s
of consuming too much.
However, it’s quite obvious one day can’t solve the
issue. Rather than a Buy Nothing Day, perhaps a “Buy Less
Month” would make a stronger impact on consumers
behaviour.
A more active initiative for curbing consumerism
could be more constructive. For instance, a “Bring Back
Your Stuff Day,” on which people could donate goods they
don’t need to the less fortunate, might be a more effective, active approach to our overconsumption.
Buy Nothing Day also seems gimmicky. People might
just shop more the day before or after Buy Nothing Day so
they can feel better about themselves, rather than actually pondering the consequences of overconsumption.
Regardless, curbing overconsumption is a massive
undertaking. In North America, it’s nearly an epidemic.
Buying things to fill our seemingly insatiable list of wants
and needs typifies our society. A day-long program won’t
change these deeply ingrained behaviours.
However, Buy Nothing Day is easy to take part in, as
it’s accessible to everyone. Certainly more things could be
done at the corporate and the manufacturing levels, but
the day at least gets people thinking about overconsumption’s negative impact on the world.
It’s hard to dispute the level of consumption in the
developed world has reached a high watermark. The consumption levels are selfish and excessive in developed
nations, while undeveloped countries are severely depleted of resources.
There are of course disagreements as to whether or not
consumption is a bad thing — arguments too complex to
navigate when simply discussing Buy Nothing Day’s effectiveness.
Similar to a smoker, it’s tough to imagine quitting an
ingrained habit like overconsumption in a day. But by
going cold turkey for 24 hours, it might be enough for
someone to reconsider long-term habits.
Many people have differing opinions on what Buy
Nothing Day represents and its level of effectiveness.
Purely at the level of raising awareness and granting time
for reflection, however, it’s a good idea.
The day convinced The Gazette to sit down and reflect
on mass consumption, and by reading these words, hopefully you’ll do the same.

One of my earliest memories is having
the feeling I wasn’t “girly” enough. This
made me anxious about my appearance
and behaviour, and whether they aligned
with what I perceived was expected of a
girl. I made sure to give my mom a hell of
a time when she tried putting me in anything other than a skirt or cutting my
unruly hair.
The feminist movement, at the academic and grass-roots level, often elicits a
knee-jerk negative reaction. The backlash is unjustified and unfortunate, given
our society still grapples with numerous
gender-related issues with real and
sometimes deadly consequences.
For example, gender stereotypes. A
study of 29 school shootings found the
gunmen were all male teenagers who
faced bullying because their peers perceived them to be unaggressive and
unmasculine. The boys lived in communities said to tolerate harassment to
encourage masculinity in boys, and all
chose powerful weapons (shotguns,
“It’s hard to find a balance. I’m all for
free speech and catching attention by
being risqué, but at the same time you
don’t want to push people away. There’s
a middle ground you need to find to
attract people who want to fight for the
issue.”
—Maria Cortellucci
History & Comparative Literature IV
“I think the idea of feminism is more
about equality and less about putting
assault rifles).
Studies also show gender (together
with racial, class, other ) stereotypes have
serious and negative effects on standardized test results for girls, children of
colour or low-income backgrounds (a
correlation which is in turn taken at facevalue as the basis for shoddy research by
the likes of Philippe Rushton).
Gender stereotypes are the tip of the
iceberg. Women’s lower pay relative to
men, relationship violence, and the low
representation of women in positions of
power are examples of important gender
equity issues that remain to be
addressed.
Some claim they agree with the feminist cause, but not those behind it. Many
claim to support previous generations of
feminists, who fought for women’s right
to vote or entry into male-dominated
arenas. But the new generation of “feminazis” “takes it too far,” some claim.
However, even those who fought for
the rights we now consider basic were
labelled extremists in their time. Moreover, we shouldn’t fear positions we consider more radical than our own, since
it’s often the middle-ground or watereddown version of social demands that is
enshrined in policy.
Feminists work to bring changes
needed in society; bashing feminism or
others down. I can see how feminists
can offend people, and I don’t think
those kind of methods are necessary,
because they make the issue less about
equality and more about getting the
upper hand. However, radical feminist
groups tend to make people paint all
feminists with the same brush, which
gives people the wrong impression.”
—Robin Neal
Childhood & Social Institutions III
“Some feminists are a bit offensive
and a bit intense, but I do believe their
methods are a good way of illustrating
their cause. Perhaps, if they found an
alternative way to draw attention to the
cause, they wouldn’t alienate others.”

anything having to do with it, as some of
us instinctively do, won’t move us toward
a more equitable society.
Feminists can be and have in the past
been racist, heterosexist, classist, etc. But
feminism doesn’t aim to pronounce
judgmental edicts from a position of
innocence (that’s left to the patriarchy,
state, and religion), and no single feminist represents the feminist movement
as a whole.
Feminism is a conversation dedicated to deconstructing the matrix of
inequality and oppression created by the
intersections of gender, race, sexual preference, class, etc.
Those who claim a beef with feminism on account of a few negative personal experiences are missing the point.
Can feminists take a joke? Sure. But to
the extent our jokes reinforce stereotypes
that limit the potential and quality of life
of women and men, we are complicit in
reproducing an oppressive discourse.
This is not to say we can’t laugh at ourselves. But we should recognize the roots
and implications of our actions and
statements, jokes included.

Am I the only one who thinks the captions in The Gazette are its prime material? Am I the only one who appreciates
dry, sardonic humour or irreverent wit? I
hope not. The recent publication of two
anti-funny-captions letters leaves me
confused. If Alex Pieprzak and Varana
Mullen want a “serious paper,” why do
they pick up The Gazette — a well-written, slightly humourous but nonetheless
professional and informative newspaper,
in lieu of something like The Globe and
Mail? Maybe then, after satiating their
taste for news delivered with zero pomp
or flourish, they wouldn’t be “disgusted.”

STAY TUNED: Joel Plaskett concert review... Tuesday
ArtsEntertainment
Two Hours Traffic accepts its nerdiness
By Maggie McCutcheon
Gazette Staff
Prince Edward Island’s Two Hours
Traffic is all about musical chemistry.
“We recently did an interview
at the [University of Toronto]
campus radio and the girl, just
before the interview started, was
trying to get stuff she could say
about us on air,” says drummer
Derek Ellis. “We mentioned we
were all chemistry grads, and
she’s like, ‘You really want to say
that on air?’
“A lot of people think that if
you’re in an independent band, you
have to have gone to art school or
OCAD, but there’s no reason that
good music should be limited to
that sort of thing.”
The band’s unconventional
background isn’t the only thing setting it apart from the crowd; the
band’s fairy-tale beginnings started
with assistance from friend and
musical-aide, Joel Plaskett, an East
Coast indie sensation.
“It certainly gives us a story,”
Ellis says. “Everyone’s an underdog
on the East Coast. You’re not [in] a
cultural centre like Toronto or Montreal, so that’s the only way some of
[the bands] succeed — if more successful acts help out the underdogs.”
Ellis says Two Hours Traffic
doesn’t care if people attribute its
success to Plaskett’s help.
“He’s honestly been our
biggest help,” he says. “He puts
us on some really great shows.
He’s more of a friend, or an older
brother, who knows way more
about music.”
Plaskett isn’t overbearing either,
Ellis adds.
“Joel’s really easy to get along
with. If he feels strongly about an
idea, he’ll make that clear, but he’ll
never demand we do something.”
Despite Plaskett’s involvement,
the band has remained independent and developed its own following.
“I think we’ve managed to have
a good amount of independence,”
Ellis says. “We haven’t had a bunch
of commercial radio play, but we’ve
certainly collected a nice following.
The people who come out to our
shows are really nice. I think it’s
going pretty well.”
Two Hours Traffic’s new EP,
Isolator, has received lots of pos-
itive feedback, Ellis says, adding
fans have offered praise as well as
free beer.
“Touring in Ontario has been
quite encouraging for the album.
This tour has helped us to keep
going.”
Ellis says touring with Peter
Elkas has been a great experience.
“We just played Sudbury last Friday with Peter Elkas, and we’ve
never played there before,” Ellis
says. “The crowd was totally into it
— it was awesome.
Nothing beats the touring experience, Ellis adds.
“You can practise your songs in
the basement as much as you want,
but until you get out there and start
seeing people’s reactions, it’s just
not the same thing.”
Two Hours Traffic has big plans
for its next release, which it’s set to
record in January.
“We might try to hit U.S. rock
radio and really go for the jugular,”
Ellis says. “We’d like to get to the
U.K. too, but it’s really tough to say
what’s going to happen with the
band. We never know six months
ahead.”
Although Ellis says he loves
touring, he admits home is where
the band wants to be.
“We’re going home to Prince
Edward Island for Christmas,”
he says. “We don’t know what
we’re doing after that. [Hopefully] we’ll be touring a whole lot,
but we’ll be based in Charlottetown.”
Two Hours Traffic opens for Joel
Plaskett Emergency tonight at Call
The Office.
Camera a bonus for creepers and concert-goers
By Andrew Sullivan
Gazette Staff
These days, becoming a stalker is
easy. It’s creepy when you think
about it. Facebook, MySpace and
telescopic lens and discount trench
coat sales have all propelled this
trend. All it takes is a little
pocket change or
Internet
access, and gadget-makers aren’t
helping the situation.
The Credit Card Digital Camera,
wafer-thin and containing 8 MB of
RAM, is the latest in stalker paraphernalia. Advertisements say this
camera is “perfect to keep with you
at all times.”
If that’s not creepy enough, the
camera also stores up to 26 high
resolution photos. That’s 26
print-outs stuck to somebody’s
wall once they go home and upload
their stalker pics. Think Crazy Joe
Dovola from Seinfeld, and 26 times
the creepy pictures of Elaine.
If you take quantity over quality,
this card-sized camera is perfect; it
takes up to 209 low-resolution
images. Although the people in
your photos may be indistinguish-
able grainy outlines, you can still
pretend it’s them.
So how small is small? 5.5mm in
depth and credit card-sized. If people were worried about camera
phones in bathrooms, this introduces a whole new set of problems.
It doubles as a video camera,
recording a measly 40 seconds of
footage. For some stalkers, though,
that’s more than enough.
A camera this small isn’t just for
stalkers; it’s also ideal for smuggling
into concerts and other events
where cameras, cellphones and
other devices are restricted.
Don’t worry about battery life,
either. The camera has an automatic shut-off after 30 seconds, preventing a dead camera from ruining your night.
Though the camera’s small size
seems like a bonus, it also makes
the device easy to lose during a
drunken weekend. If people can
lose wallets and keys after a night
on the town, there’s no doubt
numerous people would lose a
credit card-sized camera.
Plus, if you sit on the camera, it
would probably break. Just because
it’s useful doesn’t mean it’s sturdy.
You’re only getting your money’s
worth, however. This little bit of
technology isn’t nearly as expensive
as you might think.
Selling for approximately $40
US and available online, this camera is perfect for the discount spy.
It’s for James Bond on a budget —
or the guy outside your house in a
trench coat.

Strummer deserves a place in the rock pantheon
Sullivan’s
Slander
Andrew Sullivan
A&E Editor
Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Bruce
Springsteen, Jim Morrison, Woody
Guthrie, Johnny Cash, David Bowie,
Neil Young, John Lennon; all these
names drop easily from the mouths
of hipsters and critics alike.
There’s no doubt these musicians deserve a place in the pantheon of rock icons. However, there
always seems to be a few talented
individuals left by the wayside
when it comes to entering a music
fan’s personal hall of fame.
One name in particular is forgotten far too often: Joe Strummer,
the lead singer/rhythm guitarist for
seminal punk band The Clash.
Strummer was the voice for leftist
punk and a true representation of
the ’70s and ’80s cultural zeitgeist.
His contributions to today’s music
are as strong as those whose names
get dropped more than Britney
Spears’ children.
Unlike the Sex Pistols’ nihilistic
punk or the Ramones’ overt simplicity, The Clash mixed genres with
its ever-expanding sound while
maintaining its positive leftist outlook. Taking the best elements of
the burgeoning genre and expanding them with every album, Strummer made The Clash the voice of
punk in the late ’70s and early ’80s.
While other bands lost relevance
through repetition or simply
exploded due to internal complications, The Clash released six fulllength albums during its short exis-
tence. Evolving for better or worse
with each album, the band’s musicianship and Strummer’s idealistic
lyrics made The Clash stand out.
Strummer’s later work with The
Mescalaros and solo performances
also showcased his abilities, most
notably his cover of Bob Marley’s
“Redemption Song” performed
with country legend Johnny Cash.
From busking in London to
opening for The Who, Strummer
was far more prolific on the touring
circuit during the 1980s than other
so-called icons, who remained shut
up in their studios or lost in some
ivory tower of “genius.”
Strummer also never acted
above his audience. He was known
to hang around venues until he’d
provided a light to every fan’s cigarette. Many fans claim he was as
devoted to them as they were to
him. How many people can say that
about their “tortured artist” icons?
Strummer and the band fought
to have double and triple albums
sold at a single album’s price, covering extra costs with their own royalties. While The Clash’s popularity
increased, its merchandise’s prices
never skyrocketed. How much does
a Rolling Stones T-shirt go for these
days at their concerts?
Through his lyrics, snarled
vocals and attitude, Strummer
inspired numerous bands, not just
punk rockers. Without his idealism
and rebellious nature, where would
bands like U2, The Strokes, the
Constantines and Rage Against the
Machine have sprung from?
The Clash didn’t just appeal to its
era’s hardcore punks. Walking the
precarious line between critical and
mass appeal, the band pulled off the
Jo e S t r u m m e r
amazing feat of pleasing both hardcore and general fans. Check the
iPod of the person next to you; don’t
be surprised if you find “Should I
Stay or Should I Go” or “Rock the
Casbah” on there somewhere.
Yes, Strummer made mistakes.
After The Clash’s breakup and the
disappointing Cut the Crap album,
Strummer sulked off on his own,
lost somewhere without direction
in what he called his “wilderness”
years.
But what about Dylan’s Christ-
ian years? Is “Transformer Man”
really anyone’s favourite Neil Young
song? Should Strummer have
exposed himself on stage like Morrison? Would that make him an
icon?
Suffering an untimely death at
the age of 50 in 2002, Strummer
didn’t get a chance to live out a
legacy like Cash, Dylan or even
Young. Instead, he fell between the
cracks. Far from joining legendary
artists — like Kurt Cobain and Janice Joplin — who died at age 27,
Strummer’s death was ignored by
the media. Even Joey Ramone
received more attention when he
passed away.
As the idealist leader of such an
influential band and for his
snarling opener on the blisteringly
simple “White Riot” in 1977, Joe
Strummer deserves to be in the
pantheon of rock icons. Move over,
Lou Reed. Make some room, Bowie.
Dylan, give Joe some space. And
somebody get Johnny Rotten off
the fuckin’ stage!
Colder weather calls for sunnier music
By Maggie McCutcheon
Gazette Staff
As days get shorter, it’s easy to fall
into a rut. If you’re missing summer and dreading exams, the following songs will cheer you up.
They’re upbeat and cute as
hell…but you might want to make
sure no one’s around when you
bust out your dance moves.
Furnaces
Sure, the song is nearly incomprehensible, but its joyful
approach to winter is something
everyone can benefit from.
The particularly catchy melody
will inspire you to go out and have
fun even though it gets dark at
five every night.

chase your clouds away.
Although “Balloon Song” is
about love-gone-wrong, the
catchy chorus and “la-la-la’s”
don’t give it away. This song is fun
enough to make anyone want to
join a garage band.

Yeah
Tambourines and a semiwhiny vocalist make this band
spectacular. Clap Your Hands is
usually a little carnival-esque, but
this slower song is mellower and
sounds suspiciously like the Talking Heads.
“Let the Cool Goddess Rust

Although spring feels years away,
this song can tide you over until

Purple Pipe: men’s basketball’s starting five
By Danielle Neziol
Gazette Staff
The Purple Pipe is usually awarded to an outstanding Western
athlete, but this week we’ve
awarded it to the entire starting
lineup of the men’s basketball
team.
After struggling last year, the
team has bounced back this season, notching two straight wins
in the past week. With seven
rookies and several veterans, the
men are 2-2 and look to continue
their winning streak this weekend.
The starting five — Matt Curtis,
Brett Lawrence, Jason Milliquet,
Adam Ruickbie and Andrew
Wedemire — met with The Gazette
to discuss coaches, NBA rookies
and Western fashion trends.
Brad Campbell is coaching after
coach Craig Boydell retired. How
has the transition been?
RUICKBIE: There’s definitely
been two different styles of coaching. The same points are emphasized throughout the team,
though.
CURTIS: It’s the way they go
about things. Brad Campbell is
really in your face, whereas Boydell
is really laid-back.
MILLIQUET: I would say they’re
extreme opposites. It was a big
transition.
You guys have seven rookies this
year. Which NBA rookie do you
think will have the most successful
season?
WEDEMIRE: Adam Morrison.
MILLIQUET: But he’s not the
face that you want on magazines.
Jon Purdy/Gazette
MAYBE IT’S THE THUG IN ME. When Western’s starting five aren’t throwing up shots, they’re busy living the thug life. Tupac cassettes,
Olde English 40s and Purple Pipes are straight-up ballin’ for this week’s recipients.
CURTIS: The situation he
stepped into, in Charlotte…he’ll get
more minutes, therefore he’ll learn
a lot faster, and put up numbers.
He’s a good size too.
If you could ban one fashion trend
from Western, what would it be?
LAWRENCE: Those tights girls
wear.
RUICKBIE: What?! No…I’m glad
to see Ugg boots going out of style.
And those giant sunglasses girls
wear, even when it’s not sunny out.
CURTIS: Those stupid Eskimo
fur boots, with the stupid pompoms and stuff.
MILLIQUET: Those rubber
boots. The full kids’, “go play in a
puddle” rubber boots. Except they
were green when I was a kid, and
now they’re multi-color. Hideous.
By the end of a night of partying,
who on your team is most likely
to...
1. Wheel a girl?
ALL: [Wedemire] for sure!
(laughter)
2. End up passed out in a corner
with Sharpie on his face?
ALL: Dave Wilson.
MILLIQUET: Wilson said he fell
flat on his face the other night!
3. Not be around because he stayed
home to review the playbook?
ALL: Danny Jeon.
CURTIS: Or he should stay
home and read the playbook.
