It might be the best football game
no one’s going to witness.
The McMaster Marauders will
be in town this weekend to play the
Western Mustangs in the Ontario
University Athletics semifinal. The
winner goes on to the Yates Cup —
the Ontario championship — while
the loser cleans out their lockers.
It is easily the biggest game
either team has played this year.
But according to Mustang Ath-
letics, as of Friday morning under
3,000 tickets had been sold — a
whopping decrease from the Mus-
tangs season average of 8,546.
A significant fraction have been
sold to McMaster fans who will be
piling into buses and making the
trip down the 401 to cheer on their
Marauders at TD Waterhouse Stadi-
um. Another portion has been
bought by members of the London
community — many of them sea-
son ticket holders and long-time
Mustangs supporters.
Meanwhile, ticket sales to West-
ern students have been almost
nonexistent, leaving Mustangs Ath-
letics baffled.

need to really seriously address

director of sports and recreation

“If you looked at our situation
and you went to a marketing class
they would say, ‘Well, you’ve got
what it takes to get people out,’ ”
Quigley said. “We really need to

dents busing down here and we’re

The attendance problem, how-
ever, isn’t limited to the Western
bubble.
The Laurier Golden Hawks host-
ed one of the OUA quarter-finals
last weekend, trouncing Guelph 42-

weather-wise, the Hawks drew just
1,540 fans.
“We had a terrible crowd, thank
you very much for reminding me,”
Laurier director of athletics Peter
Baxter quipped when reached at
his office in Waterloo on Thursday.
“I wish I could explain it but I don’t
know what the answer is.”
Laurier was forced to take just a

mented by the OUA.
For all OUA playoff games, the
home team must charge a mini-
mum ticket price determined by
the size of the market. All revenue
is then split three ways — 40 per
cent to the home team, 30 per cent
to the visiting team and 30 per cent
to the OUA.
Because of the minimum ticket
price, Laurier had to charge more
than they did during the regular
season, something that could have
driven fans away.
“We establish a minimum and a
maximum and the ticket price has
to fall into that threshold. But the
host determines exactly what
they’re going to charge,” Ward Dilse,
OUA Executive Director, said. “We
just require that they charge
between those numbers and that
the visiting fans aren’t charged
more than the home fans.”
It’s that playoff ticket policy that
is forcing Western to charge stu-
dents $8 per ticket on Saturday.
During the regular season students
get in for free and some have spec-
ulated that the ticket price could be
keeping students from attending
the game.
“We realize that we have a lot of
factors we’re competing against
with this game. Midterms, the
labour situation on campus, the
weather,” Watson said. “Those are
all obstacles that we’re up against.
But we don’t need another one in
the form of a high priced ticket.”
Western began admitting stu-
dents with a valid Western student
card to all regular season varsity
games for free last year. It’s helped
Puzzle solution from page 6
raise attendance and this year the
Mustangs set a regular season foot-
ball attendance record with 34,182
total fans coming out over the
course of the season.
But Laurier has gone in the oppo-
site direction. Last year they started
charging students for admission to
regular season games after admitting
them for free in the past. Much to the
rest of the OUA’s surprise — atten-
dance among students went up.
Two years ago the Golden
Hawks were seeing 80 per cent of
their attendance come from mem-
bers of the Waterloo community
and 20 per cent from students. But
after they started charging for tick-
ets last year the student attendance
rose to 50 per cent.
“There’s something about a stu-
dent ticket that says, ‘Oh, I’ve paid
my five bucks. I should go,” Baxter
said. “It’s not expensive — it’s less
than a beer. And it creates a buzz.”
Like the rest of the OUA world,
Baxter couldn’t explain Western’s
attendance woes.
He joined Quigley in calling for
the OUA’s athletic directors to sit
down over the summer and hash
out a league-wide attendance strat-
egy. He’d like to see more promo-
tions, group rates and co-operation
between schools.
“I think that Western’s doing a
fabulous job in terms of marketing
OUA football during the regular
season. It’s not Western’s issue. It’s a
league issue,” Baxter said. “We need
to look at the specific market places
and develop a ticket strategy for
each of them that puts the maxi-
mum amount of rear ends in seats.”
Come Saturday, however, there
will likely be more empty grey
stands than rear ends at TD Water-
house Stadium.
Mustang Athletics just hopes
seeing all those empty seats on
national television will spur all seg-
ments of campus — students,
administration, the University Stu-
dents’ Council — to work together
to change things.
“Everyone has to have an oar in
the water,” Quigley said. “There
needs to be a real collective cele-
bration of being a Mustang and
being a student here at Western.”

Club Weldon may have to start
charging cover.
During last year’s trial period for
24-hour library service at D.B. Wel-
don, staffers found several wine
bottles and struggled to keep up
with student messiness. These were
some of the concerns facing orga-
nizers on Wednesday as they dis-
cussed running a 24-hour library
during exam period again this year.
“We had some similar experi-
ences in Weldon that we had in Tay-
lor,” Catherine Wilkins, assistant
university librarian for Weldon,
said.
She noted the exam period led
to several safety concerns in the
libraries, with both Taylor and Wel-
don showing evidence that parties
took place during later hours.
“There were some issues with
wine bottles,” she noted at the Uni-
versity Students’ Council Universi-
ty Affairs standing committee
meeting on Wednesday.
To address this concern, the
library is hoping to have voluntary
bag checks at the door, Wilkins said.
Health
But the idea of a bag search has
raised red flags with some USC
councillors.
“I think it is an unnecessary
infringement on student rights, and
many students will react negatively
to this,” noted Andrew Roland, rep-
resentative for the honours busi-
ness administration program on
the USC.
He said if a voluntary bag search
was well-publicized, many stu-
dents would choose not to submit
to one, undermining the purpose of
the search.
Safety issues were a topic at the
UA meeting on Wednesday, where
officials discussed how to resolve
them before another possible round
of 24/7 hours at Weldon this year.
“I have noted, and experienced
quite often, students sleeping in the
stack areas totally alone,” Kim Cor-
nell, assistant university librarian
with Taylor noted. “They’re putting
themselves in danger.”
Wilkins and Cornell noted they
wanted to continue the informa-
tional campaign on informing stu-
dents how to be safe. She noted that
while many students heeded the
warnings, some continued to study
alone.
Student messiness was also a big
concern, partly because cleaning
the library during a 24-hour sched-
ule was more difficult.
Wilkins noted the amount of
garbage was frequently above what
the library could handle. Students
would also attempt to reserve desks
using their mess. To solve this prob-
lem, they are looking into closing sec-
tions of the library at least once a day
so they could be cleaned properly.
“I think that’s a fair incentive to
do,” she explained.
Several requirements would also
stay in place. Students would need
a Western One card to enter, ensur-
ing only students and staff were in
Weldon after nine.
“The students had a lot of sup-
port for the ID requirement,”
Wilkinson explained.
Wilkinson also noted during the
hours where the card requirement
was in place, no laptop thefts were
reported to the service desks at Wel-
don or Taylor libraries.
However, the library itself was
not so lucky. “We did actually lose
some books from reserves,” Wilkin-
son said.
farm? Not quite, but one professor
is currently going head-to-head
with administration to prevent this
kind of reputation from taking hold.
Gabor Lukacs, a 28-year-old
assistant professor of mathematics
at U of M, has been suspended from
work without pay after countering
the school’s decision to award a PhD
to a student who had not met all the
requirements. The university’s deci-
sion to award the student a PhD
anyway was allegedly due in part to
the student’s anxiety disorder.
“[The school’s] credibility
depends on the credibility of its
doctoral degrees. If anybody can
get a PhD in mathematics without
having fulfilled all the require-
ments, then who is going to come
here to study?” Lukacs asked.
Lukacs explained he became
involved in the case after he was
elected as a member of the school’s
math graduate studies committee.
He disagreed with the decision made
by John Doering, dean of the Faculty
of Graduate Studies, to waive the
PhD candidacy exam for the student
who had previously failed it twice,
and award him his degree anyway.
Lukacs contests only the Faculty
of Graduate Studies’ appeal panel
has the authority to waive an exam.
A hearing has been set for Nov.
30, when Lukacs hopes the court
will overturn the decision.
“The student will have to come
ruled in his favour.
Though unable to comment
directly on the case, John Danakas,
director of public affairs for U of M,
said the university’s main concern
at this point is protecting the priva-
cy of the student involved.
“The academic integrity of the
university, protecting the privacy of
students, and accommodating for
disabilities are things the Universi-
ty takes very seriously and does
every day,” Danakas noted.
However, the academic integrity
of U of M is precisely what Lukacs
said he is fighting to preserve.
“The concern is about the acad-
emic integrity of the institution and
the kind of tyranny that the dean of
graduate studies is trying to insti-
tute here.”

Steyn wasting time
Uncle
Jesse
Jesse Tahirali
OPINIONS EDITOR
jesse@westerngazette.ca
Maybe I was desensitized by Ann
Coulter’s insanity last year. Maybe
after enduring an hour of her rage-
baiting and fallacious pseudo-argu-
ments, the term “controversial
speaker” took on a new definition
in my mind. I was expecting to have
an excess of lunacy to comment on
today, but after seeing Mark Steyn
earlier this week, I’m not really left
with much to discuss.
His speech — loosely centred
around the thesis that there is a cat-
aclysmic Islamic takeover of the
Western world happening right now
— was definitely colourful at times.
Perhaps if performed for a different
audience, his highlighting and ridi-
culing of the extreme aspects of
Islam may have sparked outrage or
at least some visible discourse.
But in front of the sea of sympa-
thetic septuagenarians, his blips of
controversy roused nothing more
than periodic applause.
To be honest, though, I couldn’t
even tell that Steyn was a figure of
controversy. If numerous people —
including Steyn himself during the
preface of his talk — hadn’t repeat-
ed rumours of his disagreeable
nature, I don’t think I would have
even realized that I was in the pres-
ence of a “controversial author.”

Re: “Steyn speaks to full house”
(November 3, 2010)
To the Editor:
The recent presentation given by
Mark Steyn at Centennial Hall was
not impressive and did not per-
suade me at all. His “speech” was
more about gimmicks than deliver-
ing any sort of concrete substance.
His presentation included painful
singing, tacky skits, numerous
tasteless jokes, and the pathetic act
of handing out free swag to the
audience — all of which is unnec-
essary if you have something valid
and important to say.
The sad thing is that many in the
audience were swayed by these
cheap tactics as evidenced by the

Don’t get me wrong — I don’t
subscribe to the notion of equating
Islam with unstoppable evil. But
the talk just wasn’t interesting. And
at times it was just bizarre.
I’ll admit that I hadn’t done much
research going into this lecture —
the fact that he spoke with some sort
of British accent actually caught me
off guard. But not as off guard as
when a dominatrix appeared on
stage to perform a painfully-script-
ed dialogue with Steyn.
Even the whips and leather were
soon overshadowed by Steyn inter-
rupting his speech to serenade the
audience.
On two separate occasions, he
actually sang.
It’s hard to describe exactly
what I was thinking during the
performance. I spent most of my
time at Centennial Hall trying to
sort out what the hell was unfurl-

After losing a friend to cancer and
watching two grandparents face
the same disease, Western student
Karver Zaborniak felt driven to go
into medical science.
Now Zaborniak is finishing an
honours degree in microbiology
and immunology while being the
vice-president of promotions for
Western’s Cancer Awareness Society
and applying to medical schools.
He clearly means business when
it comes to fighting cancer –– and
his dedication is written all over his
face. Well, part of it.
That’s because Zaborniak, like
thousands of other Canadian men,
is growing a moustache for Movem-
ber to raise funds and awareness for
Prostate Cancer Canada.
Movember is an annual event
where men of all ages shave on the
first of November and spend the
other 30 days growing a ‘stache.
The goal of this global move-
ment is to get men talking about
their health and to raise money for
local chapters of prostate cancer
foundations.
But the movement’s origins did-
n’t start with aspiring doctors like
Zaborniak. In fact, it was quite the
opposite.
“Four guys in Melbourne, Aus-
tralia were sitting in a bar for some
pints,” explains Jesse Hayman, a
Western alum-turned-campaign
co-ordinator for Movember Cana-
da. “They decided to bring the
moustache back […] and grew
moustaches for the month.”
That was back in 2003. Much to
the chagrin of their girlfriends, the
Aussies tried the stunt again a year
later. But this time around, they
realized their month-long mous-
tache had the potential to make a
difference.
“In 2004 the campaign evolved
and focused on raising awareness
and funds for the number one can-
cer affecting men –– prostate can-
cer,” notes the official Movember
website.
Over 400 men joined in that year
and raised $55,000 for the Prostate
Cancer Foundation of Australia ––
the single largest donation they had
ever received.
From the land Down Under to
the great white north, Movember
has been spreading across the
globe ever since. “It was just a bar
conversation that turned out to
change the world,” Hayman says.
Movember has been happening
in Canada since 2007. Last year’s
Canadian campaign was the sec-
ond largest in the world behind
Australia, and raised $7.8 million
for Prostate Cancer Canada.
And it looks like this year will be
even better.
By press time, Movember Cana-
da had raised over $3.5 million,
according to Catherine
Patterson, manager of
marketing and commu-
nications for Prostate
Cancer Canada. And it’s
only Nov. 5.
Patterson says the organi-
zation typically raised about $7
million per year before Movem-
ber came along. Now, they’re hop-
ing to raise $10 million just this
month through the campaign.
“It really is unbelievable,” says
Patterson.
In the House of Commons, Lib-
eral Party MP Justin Trudeau
recently started a Movember team
that spans party lines.
And here at Western, plenty of
men — and their female support-
ers — have hopped on the Movem-
ber bandwagon, too.
But while the fundraising is
clearly working, is the mo actually
getting men to open up about their
health?
Hayman thinks so. Even though 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with
many just grow the mo for fun, he prostate cancer in their lifetime
says it often sparks dialogue about
cancer.
“[Having a moustache] leads to The prostate is a walnut-sized

Polydactyl Hearts say hello to London Review > CD

Multimedia collective to present latest work this Saturday

Mark Filipowich
GAZETTE STAFF
Polydactyl Hearts Collective, a
Guelph-based multimedia collec-
tive, combines their multiple tal-
ents into one-of-a-kind pieces.
Since composing and touring
their first show, Le Cyc — a surreal-
ist graphic novel set to music about
a dystopian world where people
must power their city by constantly
peddling bicycles — the group has
developed other pieces. Their latest
work, Hello Adventure, was request-
ed by Jonny Dovercourt, one of the
founders of Wavelength — a week-
ly indie music showcase in Toron-
to.
“[Dovercourt] said ‘make some-
thing new that’s great.’ So he was a
really big influence for us to keep
going and do something new. And
we were excited to try something
new,” Claire Whitehead of Poly-
dactyl Hearts says.
According to Whitehead, Poly-
dactyl Hearts appeals to a wide
audience and is for “anyone who’s
looking for something different and
something very DIY.”
“We want people who are as
enthusiastic as we are,” she says. “I
guess the ideal audience is people
from a variety of arts backgrounds.”
Hello Adventure, while like Le
Cyc in that both are still images that
reflect music and change, is quite
different from the group’s first
endeavor.
“Hello Adventure is a lot more
loose [than Le Cyc] in general,” says
Whitehead. Unlike Le Cyc, Hello
Adventure is a series of shorts rather
than a single overarching story.
“[There’s no] clear, specific nar-
rative from beginning to end. There
is one string that ties through it all
— it’s about people in a society that
breaks up and [must] figure out dif-
ferent ways of looking at the world.
It’s a lot more abstract,” she says.
Whitehead hesitates to claim
which piece they preferred making.
“They are actually very different.
Hello Adventure was exciting to
work with because there’s a lot of
things popping up on the screen —
buildings, eyes — and that allowed
us and inspired us to play more
peculiarly,” she says. “But with Le
Cyc it’s awesome too because it’s
very much a narrative.”
The group’s upcoming show in
London not only tours Hello Adven-
ture, but also celebrates the release
of Le Cyc on DVD.
“[The DVD] is definitely not the
same experience as the live show,”
Whitehead says. “But I
think it’s important
for people to have a
chance to see [Le Cyc]
online or on DVD
before they see it live
because then they get a
sense of what it is they’re
going to see.”

It’s simply impossible to com-

combined, the songs work to create
an air of experimentation, giving
the album an exciting flair.

a good idea, these drinks have the
potential to do a lot more harm

“Caffeine is a stimulant,” Anne

“Pre-mixed drinks such as Rock-

which reduces the taste of the alco-

“With energy drinks, it’s a quick

caffeine is keeping them

Sigouin believes even if this

Sports gameday
The Mustangs men’s hockey team returns home for a rematch
with the Waterloo Warriors. They defeated the Warriors 8-1 at
home last weekend. Waterloo will be looking for revenge against
the sixth-ranked Mustangs.

rundown >> The Mustangs men’s volleyball team has gone 3-0 so far this season and will be looking to continue that trend this weekend when they host Ryerson and
York | The Mustangs women’s basketball team is ranked number four in the country > They will kick off their season today when they face Laurentian.

’Stangs to repeat the

feat and beat Mac
Daniel Da Silva
SPORTS EDITOR
“It wasn’t really a close game. It’s
tough to lose 50–19,” McMaster
head coach Stefan Ptaszek said.
In week three earlier this season,
the Marauders came to TD Water-
house Stadium to take on the West-
ern Mustangs.
What was expected to be a close
battle between two nationally–
ranked teams turned into a slaugh-
ter, aided by the fact the Marauders
were missing several important
players.
After going up 7–5 by the end of
the first quarter, the Marauders
were absolutely shut down. West-
ern scored 45 points before eventu-
ally putting in their reserves.
“They moved the ball on three
consecutive long drives in the sec-
ond quarter. That was the differ-
ence,” Ptaszek said. “We fumbled a
couple of punts and they capital-
ized.”
After defeating the lowly Queen’s
Gaels 40–19 in the Ontario Univer-
sity Athletics quarter–finals last
week, the Marauders get their
chance at revenge tomorrow.
“It is a playoff game. If you come
out and play just an average game,
youre season is done. It won’t be
hard for us to come out and play
hard,” Ptaszek said.
But if they are going to upset the
team ranked number two in the
country, they’re going to have to
shut down Western’s running dou-
ble threat — Jerimy Hipperson and
Nathan Riva.
Riva returned from injury mid-
season and ran for 272 yards in just
three games. Hipperson is second
in the OUA with 785 yards and leads
the country with 11 touchdowns.
“They bring different things to
the table with Nathan being a back
with breakaway speed while Jerimy
can bounce off tackles and is hard
to bring down,” Ptaszek said. “Hav-
ing both of them keeps them fresh,
which makes them more danger-
ous.”
Despite their success during the
season, Mustangs head coach Greg
Marshall is ensuring that his team
remains humble prior to their first
playoff game this season.
“We are really excited about the
game. I’m excited just talking about
it,” Marshall said. “We just have to
get out there and settle in quickly.”
If they are going to settle in
offensively, they have to keep track
of linebacker Ryan Chmielewski.
He led McMaster’s defence with 41
tackles, 3.5 sacks, three intercep-
tions and two fumbles forced.
“They have a good defence.
[Ryan] is quick and he covers most
of the field,” Marshall said. “They

The Mustangs women’s basketball
team will be missing a familiar face
when regular season play starts this
weekend.
“It’s always the case that when

head coach Stephen Barrie said.

Mustangs hope to end that trend. Western plays their season opener tonight at with the team, and according to
Laurentian. Barrie it didn’t take long for the void
to be filled.
“[Matteke Hutzler] has won
three national championships so
she provides an even more in-
depth sense of leadership because
of the success that she’s been
through,” he said. “We’re benefiting
from Matteke’s leadership and her
experience and she is a very pas-
sionate player, so those things are
really helping us on the floor.”
Along with Hutzler, the Mus-
tangs also welcome the addition of
two junior national players, Laura
Dally and Jenny Vaughn.
“Both of those players are elite
level kids that — certainly on the
floor — can really pick up some of
the void that [Anderson] left,” Bar-
rie stated.
With the mix of new and old, the
number four nationally–ranked
Mustangs are heavily favoured to
challenge for the OUA West title
with only one team standing in
their way — Windsor.
“They’ve ended our season the
last two years and right now they are
ranked as the number one team in
the country so certainly we have
enough external motivation,” Barrie
said.
Although Barrie admits that last
year came to a disappointing end,
he felt that his team performed up
to expectations throughout the sea-
son. However, this year expecta-
tions have been raised.
“We have more potential and a lot
more talent than we did last year,” he
said. “The only thing we want to see
is for us to again reach the potential
that we have just like last year’s team
did. If we do that we’ll certainly go a
lot further than we did last year.”
The Mustangs open their season
on the road against the Laurentian
Lady Vee’s tonight.
