USC looking at cuts to SINGER WINS 250TH GAME

balance low revenues

By Cheryl Stone
Gazette Staff
The University Students’ Council is starting
to face a credit crunch.
At the end of the second fiscal quarter for
the current academic year, the USC found
itself $1 million below expectations. While the
USC has been able to keep itself afloat,
declining revenues may turn the third quar-
ter into a financial squeeze.
“If we did not do anything, we would run
a deficit budget,” Sacha Kumar, vice-presi-
dent finance for the USC, said. “But we’ve
been cutting expenses for the past few
months to try to bring the budget back in
line.”
Kumar explained the current situation
was caused by lower than expected rev-
enues from the USC’s operations, such as
the Wave and the Spoke, the Used Book
Store and Mustang Alley. This has forced
the USC to spend more than they can cur-
rently afford.
“We go with a mentality that we’re going
to get back in line and try as hard as possi-
ble to do that, but a deficit budget at the
end of this fiscal year is very possible,”
Kumar said.
Richard Wong, student representative on
the Board of Governors and a former USC
councillor, said many councillors were con-
cerned the budget’s projections were too high
when first made.
“I think that’s up to the USC […] to make
sure that they minimize this deficit as much
as possible,” Wong said. “[Financially] it’s not
that strong.”
Kumar said the cuts would largely come
from within the USC’s corporate structure.
Student life, clubs, services and groups would
not see budget cuts.
“We’re hoping these cuts aren’t some-
thing that students feel because that’s not
what we want to do,” Kumar said. “I believe
that there is room in the budget to cut
expenses that are related to the general run-
ning of the USC and us performing as an
efficient company.”
Cathy Clarke, general manager for the
USC, said the budget has forced the USC
to take a new perspective. “Things we
might not have necessarily looked at until
next year’s budget, we’re looking at now,”
she said.
The USC is looking to create cuts which
last for at least 18 months.
“It’s a continuous improvement model,
because again, it’s a real situation,” Clarke
explained. “From my viewpoint it’s an oppor-
tunity to redo the USC.”
Both Clarke and Kumar are looking at
increasing revenue with the operations cur-
rently owned by the USC.
Kumar explained he was creating a com-
mittee to look into marketing for the USC:
“It’s a fairly easy and low cost thing to do that
could have a big impact on revenue for our
operations.”
Wong felt the operations needed a closer
look and not just new marketing.
“They might not be relating to students
anymore,” he said.
Wong felt prices, and what the services
offer, might not be in students’ best interests.
“There’s a lot of room for creative solu-
tions to these operations,” he said.
Kumar explained students should not fear

U of Ottawa slackers rejoice Knifepoint robberies

Senate approves fall reading week for 2010-11
By Kaleigh Rogers
Gazette Staff
Beginning next fall, students at the
University of Ottawa will join the
company of a few Ontario univer-
sities when they enjoy a reading
week during October.
“We believe it’s a great plan that
will allow students to focus on
their assignments while classes are
cancelled,” Eric Bercier, registrar at
the University said.
“What we’re mostly proud of is
the ability to have a reading week,
responding to the needs of stu-
dents, [and] continuing to
improve an already good student
experience, all without compro-
mising the integrity of our acade-
mic calendar,” Bercier explained.
However, students at the Uni-
versity have mixed feelings about
the extra week off.
“Keep in mind, we are paying
for that week, and yet our tuition
won’t be any lower,” said Sammi
Wright, fourth-year history stu-
dent at U of Ottawa, who didn’t
feel the break is needed. “I’m also
concerned that a fall reading week
will elongate the fall term or even
the entire year,” she added.
However, Bercier confirmed
the academic calendar will only
have minor alterations. “The
impact is rather minimal on the
academic calendar, because the
changes are fairly minor —
reduced exam period by one day
and an abolished study day that
took place between the end of the
session and the beginning of
exams,” he said
U of Ottawa is not alone in its
decision to implement the break
from classes. Starting this school
year, York University instituted a
fall reading week, while both
Nipissing University and Trent
University have long traditions of
autumn breaks.
Trent’s academic calendar has
included a reading week since its
inception in 1964, explained Jef-
frey Cadence, manager of student
affairs at Trent.
“It actually was part of the orig-
inal design, [which was] built
around the Oxford-Cambridge
system. It’s just a way of breaking
[the academic year] into more
manageable chunks,” Cadence
said. “I believe it’s mostly benefi-
cial. You get a break and a breather
and you can do some reflection,
and catch up when you need to.”
Here at Western, a fall reading
week seemed like a foreign con-
cept.
Dan Moulton, vice-president
university affairs for the Universi-
ty Students’ Council, said there
didn’t appear to be a demand from
the student body for a fall break.
“Having a fall reading week
would be impossible at Western in
the current academic structure [...]

reported near campus
By Meagan Kashty
Gazette Staff
Last Saturday, five robberies
occurred at knifepoint in London
— two of which were at the perime-
ter of campus.
In an e-mail to residence staff,
Ancillary Housing Services warned
students to be careful.
At 12:15 a.m., a 21-year-old male
was walking south on Richmond
Street near Huron Street when he
was approached by two males. One
man brandished a knife and forced
the victim into a driveway. The two
suspects took something from the
victim and fled, leaving the victim
uninjured.
Later that night similar robberies
occurred on Fanshawe Park Road
East, Philbrook Drive, Proudfood
Lane and again on Richmond Street.
According to Elgin Austen,
director of campus police, officers
on campus have been on higher
alert and are doing additional
patrols throughout the campus.
“[Yesterday] there was an armed
robbery at the TD Bank,” added
Austen. “I don’t know if it’s connect-
ed to the other robberies, but we’re
having a lot of criminal activity
along the perimeter of the univer-
sity, which certainly warrants
heightened security.”
Residence staff have also been
advised to inform students about
the robberies.
“We were advised about the
break-ins and have since sent out a
release to our [residence staff ]
warning them to be careful,” Susan
Grindrod, housing and ancillary
services co-ordinator, said.
She added doors on residences
are locked, and staff will continue to
monitor the doors in the evening.
“We work through our own
police and they’ll certainly advise
us if there’s anything we should
know or anything we should do,”
she added. “I’m sure they’ll keep us
updated.”

illScarlett pump up crowd with covers and antics

Mississauga group invite audience to party all night at Norma Jean’s

CONCERT REVIEW
Performance:
Openers:
Crowd:
By Maggie Pajak
Gazette Staff
Energy was the key component of
illScarlett’s show at Norma Jean’s on
Friday night, as they performed
songs from their new album 1UP!
and old hits with vigour.
Opening band Ubiquitous Syner-
gy Seeker — also known as USS —
captured the audience with their
wild antics from the start. Vocalist,
guitarist and erhu player Ashley Boo-
Schultz stood with his sunglasses
and guitar next to a table of knick
knacks — featuring a blender and
heart monitor — with the oddity for-
gotten the moment the music began.
Set List:
Worth the $$$:
With his raw and grunge-like
voice, Boo-Schultz sang while
Jason Parsons, also known as
Human Kebab, performed tricks
like headstands while continuing
to scratch his vinyl. His energy res-
onated with the crowd while his
unique scratching techniques had
them laughing.
The venue was packed, and as
soon as USS finished their set, the
crowd grew tighter, teeming with
anticipation. As soon as illScarlett
took to the stage, the audience
began to sway and a mosh pit
erupted as the steady bass and two-
step rhythm guitars played.
The headliners were entertain-
ing even in between songs. The
band members constantly interact-
ed with one another, making faces
and bumping into each other.
Singer Alex Norman asked the
crowd to sing along, and even
called a girl on stage to commemo-
rate her first concert.
If the laid back reggae tunes
were not enough to please the
crowd, covers of famous songs by
Sublime, Bob Marley and even Ace
of Base brought the crowd’s enthu-
siasm to a whole new level.
Ultimately, illScarlett created an
ideal atmosphere for every individ-
ual by mixing up their set with ska-
influenced rock, reggae, well known
covers and their own hit singles.
In the end, the audience was so
insistent that illScarlett came
back for a three-song encore and
invited the crowd to stick around
after to party and donate to char-
ity. The crowd barely dispersed Maggie Pajak/Gazette

Down With Webster hold one big party on stage

By Kate Wilkinson
Gazette Writer
Down With Webster can best be
described as a party on wheels.
Their reputation for live shows
that are more like house parties
than concerts –– and come com-
plete with red cups –– has been
steadily working in their favour.
And the power of word-of-mouth
promotion has been bringing out
increasingly larger crowds every
time they appear in London.
The band’s stop at London
Music Hall on Saturday had all the
elements longtime fans of their
concerts have come to know and
love, and most likely helped them
pick up some new followers.
The show marked another stop
on the WINtour, the band’s first go
as a headlining act.
Two Crown King were a good
selection to start off the opening
acts. Like Down With Webster, they
mix hip-hop and rock only at a
slower pace and with a more soul-
focused sound.
Opening band We Are The Take
made for easy listening, but their
sound was somewhat out of place
at a Down With Webster show.
Inward Eye, the third band to
take the stage, definitely took the
energy up another level and
seemed to make a better connec-
tion with the concertgoers, just in
time for the main event.
London Music Hall was the per-
fect sized venue, allowing the more
intense Down With Webster fans to
have their fun without affecting
those who wanted to hang back
and avoid a rogue crowd surfer or
an elbow in the eye.
Most of Down With Webster’s
songs are rallying cries for going out
and having a good time, and are
most effective when performed live.
Lead vocalists Cameron Hunter and
Bucky Buck, when not yelling into
the mic, spent most of their time
onstage revving up the crowd.
Even drummer Andrew Martino,
in a role that typically gets ignored in
favour of singers and guitarists, did
his part to keep the momentum
going with a drum solo that relied on
crowd participation. As an observer,
you couldn’t help but feed off the
energy this band had onstage.
Down With Webster played most
of the material off of their latest
release, Time To Win, Vol. 1, but in
an interesting move saved their
lead single “Rich Girl$” for their
encore. They may have been trying
to make the point that their talent
runs deeper than the pop chart-
friendly single, which has a clean
and somewhat generic video to go
along with it.
The band walks a fine line
between being an under-the-radar
gem, or the latest in a long series of
pop-rock bands to be relegated to
the Top 40.
Industry opinion is looking up
though, as music moguls as varied
and diverse as Gene Simmons and
Timbaland have tried to sign the
band to their respective labels.
Despite signing with Universal
Motown, Down With Webster will
still be going on tour with Timba-
land as soon as the WINtour wraps
up in early February.
Looks like the “Time to Win” is
now.

theGazette • TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2010
Two tracks that stray a little far-
ther from the main theme of the
album are “Hungover” and “Danc-
ing with Tears in my Eyes.” Both
carry potential to be hits with a
message while still maintaining the
album’s keep-this-song-playing feel.
Interestingly, even with all the
electronic beats and futuristic nois-
es in the background, Ke$ha’s
vocals hold strong throughout.
In short, Animal is an album
catered toward those who are look-
ing for a good time and a good lis-
ten. Expectations of mature lyrics
and concepts will quickly be disap-
pointed.

Up was also an obvious choice
for best animated film, proving that
Pixar has made computer animat-
ed flicks as heartwarming as old
hand drawn classics.
The Globes’ television winners
were more of a toss-up. Mad Men
emerged victorious in the drama
category, beating out popular
favourites True Blood, House, Dex-
ter and Big Love.
It was a similar situation in the
comedy and musical category, with
Glee gaining the Globe over the
tried-and-true laughs of 30 Rock,
Entourage, The Office and newcom-
er Modern Family.

Mustangs “rattled” after loss
CONTINUED FROM P8
Despite stringing together sev-
eral scoring chances and hitting a
plethora of posts in the final 10
minutes, the Mustangs fell victim
to Wetering again, as he added an
empty net goal to put the game
on ice.
“It feels great,” Wetering said
after the win. “We’re a desperate
team right now trying to make the
playoffs. We came in working hard
and pulled it off.”
UOIT’s head coach Marlin Muy-
laert also stressed the magnitude of
upsetting Western.

of staying this playoff race. Obvious-
ly this is huge for us. On the same
token, I don’t think we saw Western’s
‘A’ game tonight, but credit our guys
for working hard enough to take
advantage of that,” Muylaert said.
Veteran forward Turkiewicz real-
ized the Mustangs need to bounce
back after the unexpected loss.
“Everyone’s a little rattled right
now after playing so well for the last
three weekends and coming out
tonight and losing to snap our 16-
game streak. We’ve got to come
back,” Turkiewicz stressed.

Mustangs, end win streak
By James Hall

Nothing lasts forever — the Western men’s hockey

The Mustangs faltered against the basement

Ridgebacks on Friday night, losing 6-4 and snapping a
winning streak that dated back to Oct. 15.
On paper, this appeared to be an easy matchup for
Western. The Ridgebacks had lost three straight while
scoring only two goals over that span.
However, the Mustangs looked like the same group
that opened the season 0-2, rather than winners of
their last 16.
“I don’t think we played a great game,” Mustangs
head coach Clarke Singer said. “We probably looked at
the standings and thought it’s going to be an easy
game. [UOIT] deserved to win the game tonight. They
outworked us and outplayed us.”
Mustangs leading goal scorer Keaton Turkiewicz
also expressed his disappointment with the team’s lack
of effort.
“After Lakehead, we might have thought we were a
little better than we are and coming out there with a
minimal effort showed tonight right off the bat,”
Turkiewicz said.
Western opened the scoring under five minutes into
the game with a goal from Turkiewicz, who recorded
three points on the night.
Halfway through the first, the Ridgebacks respond-
ed with two goals in under a minute. The Mustangs
managed to close out the period with a great individual
effort by Chris Corbeil knotting the game at 2-2.
Nathan Spaling made it 3-2 for UOIT five minutes
into the second period, prompting Singer to yank
starter Keyvan Hunt — who allowed three goals on 11
shots — for Mustang rookie and former American
World Junior goalie Josh Unice.
“I wanted to shake our team up a little bit,” Singer
said. “Keyvan was left out on an island by himself and
we tried to do something.”
The change appeared to be paying dividends as the
Mustangs scored soon after, courtesy of a Scott
Aarssen blast from the point. But before the goal could
even be announced, Brent Varty gave the Ridgebacks
another lead.
Similar to the first period, Western added a late goal,
this time by Kevin Baker, to tie the game 4-4.
With the momentum in Western’s favour, it was Kyle
Wetering of the Ridgebacks who silenced the Mustang
faithful, scoring midway through the final frame.

Singer wins 250th game in
chippy affair with York

With Friday night’s setback behind them, the Mustangs
got back to their winning ways in a hurry.
Rookie goaltender Josh Unice started his first
Ontario University Athletics game and didn’t disap-
point as the men’s hockey team defeated the York Lions
on Saturday night by a score of 4-2.
“It was great intensity tonight,” Mustangs head
coach Clarke Singer said. “I thought both teams were
ready for the physical battle.”
The intensity boiled over early leading to several
power plays for both teams. Midway through the first,
winger Keaton Turkiewicz was hit hard, resulting in a
boarding minor for Lions defenceman Riley Brand.
On the ensuing man advantage, Turkiewicz made the
Lions pay, firing the puck top shelf to open the scoring.
Only a minute later, Turkiewicz one-timed a cross-
ice feed from Kevin Baker past Lions goaltender David
Davenport for his second power play goal.
“Once we got a couple power plays, I just tried to get
open and a couple guys on our team made really good
plays,” Turkiewicz said.
Western got into penalty trouble when winger Kyle
Lamb and captain Luc Martin both took minor infrac-
tions, sending York on a five-on-three.
The Lions capitalized on the power play when Chris
Jones tipped home a point shot through traffic.
The one-goal lead would hold up throughout the
middle stanza. Instead of creating scoring chances, the
bad blood between the squads began to show.
“We knew it was going to be a physical affair,” Lions
head coach Jim Wells said.
The Lions came out of the second intermission
determined to tie the game. Just four minutes in, a neu-
tral zone turnover sprung forward Tyler Harrison, who
buried his shot past Unice.
However, Western would take the lead for good three
minutes later when defenceman Jason Swit wired a
point-shot through traffic to beat Davenport.
In stark contrast to the team’s Friday night loss, the
Mustangs were buoyed by the superb goaltending of
Unice.
“He was very much in control, and he made some
great saves for us,” Singer said.
The victory was also a milestone for Singer, as it
marked his 250th career win in his eleventh season
behind Western’s bench.
The Mustangs will travel to St. Catharines to take on
the Brock Badgers on Friday, before returning home on
Saturday night to host the Jack Frost Cup against the
University of Ontario Institute of Technology Ridge-
backs at the John Labatt Centre.
Former Troy Trojan guard
to boost Mustang attack
By Arden Zwelling

Jacklyn Selfe is going to have such a
big impact on the Mustangs
women’s basketball team, head
coach Stephan Barrie won’t even
reveal when the currently red-shirt-
ed guard will play her first game.
“We’re keeping that up in the air
right now — just to not let the first
opponent that she plays against
know in advance,” Barrie said. “It’ll
definitely be sometime in January.”
So if you’re on the coaching staff
at Brock, Windsor, McMaster,
Waterloo or Laurier it’s time to start
working on your scouting report for
the 5-11 Selfe who transferred to
Western earlier this year. Not sure
what to expect? Here’s a little help.
“She’s basically going to do a lit-
tle bit of everything. She’ll be all
over the place,” Barrie said of the
Burlington native. “She’ll handle
the ball. She’ll play a little bit at the
point guard spot. We’ll run stuff for
her to shoot. She’ll do a fair bit of
screen and roll offence. She’ll take
a bit of the ball handling responsi-
bilities, some of the scoring
responsibilities and some of the
passing responsibilities.”
Easy fix — just use that defen-
sive system that, you know,
defends everything.
At just 19-years-old, Selfe
already has a decorated past which
includes two gold medals with the
Ontario provincial team in 2005
and 2007, two Halton Region
Championships with Notre Dame
High School and a 2006 selection
to Canada Basketball’s National
Elite Development Academy, a
training grounds for Canada’s top
young basketball players.
Selfe parlayed her successful high
school career into a spot on the Troy
Trojans, an NCAA division 1-A
school who play in the Sun Belt Con-
ference, one of the most competitive
conferences in the United States.
At Troy, Selfe appeared in 16
games, averaging 11.3 minutes, 2.5
points and 1.9 rebounds per game.
However, during her freshman
campaign at Troy, Selfe was con-
stantly plagued by compartment
syndrome —a condition that caus-
es the compression of nerves, blood
vessels and muscles in her legs and
results in extraordinary pain.
Having already had one unsuc-
cessful surgery to correct the prob-
lem, Selfe came to London and was
treated at Western’s Fowler Kennedy
Sport Medicine Clinic where she
received a second surgery, which
effectively removed the fascia that
surrounded the muscle and caused
most of the discomfort.
“It’s kinda gross,” Selfe laughed.
“The first time they cut it to relieve
the pressure but it closed back up.
So for the second surgery they just
took it out.”
It was while recovering from
her surgery that Selfe made the
decision to leave Troy and transfer
to Western. She was familiar with
Barrie — he recruited her before
she went south of the border —
#13 JACKLYN SELFE
5-11 Guard
Burlington, ON
BMOS II
• Two National Championships with
Ontario (2005, 2007)
• Provincial Championship MVP (2006)
• Two Halton Region Championships
with Notre Dame H.S. (2005, 2006)
• Chosen for Canada Basketball’s
National Elite Development Academy
• Named to Academic All-Conference
team at Troy
and had played with a number of
the Mustangs in the past on
provincial teams. Of course, a little
free medicare didn’t hurt either.
“Honestly, the health care here is
much better,” Selfe said. “I had a
spot [at Troy.] I would’ve played
more this year. It was a really tough
decision.”
Another factor that pushed
Selfe toward the Mustangs was 5-9
guard Jenny Vaughan’s decision to
transfer to Western from Denver,
another NCAA division 1-A
school. Selfe and Vaughn, who are
best friends, grew up around the
game, winning provincial champi-
onships together in 2005 and 2007.
“We’re trying to build the pro-
gram,” Selfe said. “I think we can
make a very big impact in the OUA
and then hopefully at the national
level too.”
The Mustangs will have to cope
with just Selfe on the floor this
year, as Vaughn won’t be eligible to
play until the 2010-11 season.
While the duo will certainly com-
pensate for the loss of leading scor-
er Amanda Anderson, who is in her
final campaign, Barrie thinks Selfe
will step in and make a lot of noise
for the Mustangs this year.
“She’s certainly the most com-
plete player on the team,” Barrie
said. “I think she’ll be a top player.
With her talent level in our league,
she’ll be right at the top.
“If I had to compare her to
somebody, I’d say she’s a Scottie
Pippen type of player,” Barrie con-
tinued. “She can do a little bit of
everything.”
Although her recovery is still a
work in progress, Selfe said she
feels a big difference after her sec-
ond surgery and that she’s been
able to take part in almost all drills
at Mustang practices. Playing in a
game — something Selfe hasn’t
done in over a year — will be
another test.
“It’s something I’ll have to deal
with,” Selfe said. “I just have to be
careful not to push it.”
Barrie said he has had great
communication with his new
point guard and discussion over
the amount of playing time Selfe
sees will be a two-way street.
“I want her on the floor as
much as she can handle being on
the floor — she’s going to dictate
her minutes,” Barrie said. “She’s
been very good at that — not try-
ing too much. That’s going to be an
ongoing discussion her and I have
— even within games.”
