Mental health has become a major issue on campus. YUP is a campaign by CSA and CCSAI to help students understand and change the way they think of mental health.

CENTENNIAL COUNSELLING SERVICES

ctober is midterm season for students and stress is running high. The College Student Alliance decided it was just the time to put the spotlight on student mental health. “I just want to see people talk about it,” said Veronica Barahona, the communications manager at the CSA. Building on the #Blue2013 social media campaign from last January is the Yellow Umbrella Project (#YUP). It’s an effort to raise awareness and put a proactive and open spin on how we view issues of student mental health. This includes matters of stress, personal and academic issues and more severe symptoms such as depression. “You need to create a foundation on a campaign and have people actually know what it is that we’re doing in order for it to be a good social media campaign,” Barahona added. This time there was a “vendor fair” approach to spreading the word with a bright yellow marketing campaign. YUP was on campus from October 28 to November 1. Before the event Centennial’s Student Advocate Jemelia Hosannah-Grant spoke about bookending the campaign with a big presence. “We’re having our booths on the Monday and the Friday” she said, “we’re actually going to be doing a survey … basically it lets students evaluate themselves. Are you aware that there is help for you?”

id-upper gunner Albert Wallace arrived at the North Compound of Stalag Luft III mid-way through 1943. At 22, Wallace had enlisted in the RCAF, graduated as a gunner, become a pilot officer and completed 15 bombing operations with 419 Squadron in Bomber Command when he was shot down over Duisberg, Germany. But if he thought it was lonely spending the night in the mid-upper gun turret of a Halifax bomber on operations, Wallace discovered his life in the very room that housed the trapdoor to “Harry” was even worse. “I had no idea it was the tunnel room [for ‘Harry,’]” he said. “I didn’t know for weeks that goddamn tunnel was seven feet from my bunk bed.” Eventually, Wallace was transferred from the tunnel room in Hut 104. As winter approached he and his new roommates tried to keep warm behind the thin, poorly insulated, and under-heated barracks walls. Taking a page from the larger tunnelling efforts, Wallace and several of his roommates began a nightly ritual – sneaking out of their hut, breaking into the German kitchen facility inside the compound and filling their kitbags with coal briquettes. “We had so much coal in our room, but there was nowhere to hide it,” Wallace said. “We put it under our bunks. We put it in our Red Cross boxes to hide it. We’d be in our shirt sleeves, hotter than hell, and guys would come in muffed up to their necks with tuques on and we’d say, ‘Oh, it’s our new chimney.’” The supply of extra briquettes dried up when the Germans noticed the depletion at the kitchen and padlocked the coal bin. Wallace would soon find himself busy at another wintertime activity, in the ranks of the “penguins,” the sand-dispersal team. The greatest barrier to any progress

tunnelling was getting rid of the sand with snow all over the compound. Then the kriegies hit on an idea. They explored the space between the raked floor and the earthen foundation of the North Compound theatre. There they found enough space to handle as much sand as Tunnel “Harry” could deliver. Under cover of darkness, a steady line of sand dispersal men began moving between “Harry” and the theatre. When a penguin arrived at the mouth of the trapdoor in Hut 104, the trap man laid a kitbag or trouser pouches full of sand over his shoulder and when the security boss told him the way was clear, the penguin carried his load out of Hut 104 to the theatre. Since Canadian pilot Tony Pengelly was stage manager for the kriegie productions, the Germans weren’t suspicious of his late evening presence at the theatre. Pengelly worked with the stage carpenters to install a small trapdoor in the floor under a seat in the back row. “I remember going into the theatre one night with my [concealed trouser] bags full of sand,” Al Wallace said. “I was told where to sit because that’s where the trapdoor was. I sat in seat number 13, pulled my little tickies [strings] and out went the sand.” Then, beneath the floorboards of the theatre, six dispersal men worked feverishly moving the sand to the far reaches of the theatre’s crawl space. When each penguin unloaded his kitbag or trouser bag through the trapdoor, the theatre crew tamped the sand up tight to the floor between the joists and against the walls. No space was left empty. “One day, we estimated we got rid of a total of 12 tons of sand,” Pengelly said.

Advertising professionals speak at one of the many seminars

Street performers entertain passers-by.

By: Naomi Grosman & Lauren LiBetti

entennial students headed to the Big Apple in September to get a taste of the advertising industry and a better understanding of how they can succeed in this competitive field. “When you’re in school, you don’t really get to see it; you’re just learning about it,” Montana Ferrill, an advertising student, said. “This is kind of cool to meet these people who are in it, who have succeeded, and you want to try to be like them.” Over 40 advertising students travelled on an overnight bus to New York City to attend Advertising Week, an annual event that features over 200 seminars with top speakers in the industry.

The students stayed in New York City for four days and chose which seminars they wished to attend. They also had the freedom to explore the city. “I like that you get to do whatever you want. You can go to whatever seminar you feel you want to go to,” student Kenny Hughes said. “You can take your day off and just hang out, go to a Yankees game. So I like that chill factor part of it.” Even though the atmosphere was relaxed, students did need to attend at least eight seminars, as well as other projects when they returned to Toronto. “They were required to do a social media assignment that included Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and possibly YouTube posts,” Dean

Cowell, advertising professor a n d program coordinator, said. “They would also post an interview they had done with a presenter or attendee while at Ad Week.” Students agreed that Ad Week was a great professional learning experience, and recommended the trip to all future advertising students. “I got some pretty good tips about the next time I do a radio ad so that’s going to have a direct and immediate impact on my work,” Emily Shelton said after a day of attending seminars. After an exciting, whirlwind of a week, students say they are anxious to apply the skills they learned back in the classroom. pg 14

Get to experience what it’s like to actually work in the business. Says it’s a way for students to see if advertising is the field they want to go into. NYC is an advertising hub with all the advertisements everywhere. First time she’s been out of Ontario on her own. Says it’s a little nerve-racking, but she’s made friends along the way. “It’s cool to see how Toronto and New York compare.”

Says Daniel Belo

“I’ve had a really great time…I’ve found some of these sessions extremely informative. And on top of that I’ve really enjoyed seeing industry leaders and what they have to say about the various issues.” Can see the comparison between Toronto and NYC.

“I have found it really fun and interesting so far…I got some pretty good tips about the next time I do a radio ad so that’s going to have a direct and immediate impact on my work and how I buy media and create it.” Neat to see massive outdoor advertising campaigns in Times Square.

How does it feel in NYC? “Everything is just so vibrant and moving and there’s videos all over and people are yelling at you. It’s cool when you actually see it on TV and then actually come and be immersed in it.” Recommend this trip to future advertising students? “Absolutely. I’d recommend this trip to everybody.

PUMPKINS One of the healthiest foods on Earth! By: Mark A. Cadiz

f you are on the look out for healthy eats this season, then think orange. The pumpkin is one of the healthiest foods you can add to your diet. Loaded with nutrients and vitamins, they are extremely versatile and can be added to many recipes such as muffins, pancakes, brownies and several dozen other baked goodies.

pg 16

“Pumpkins are known for being rich in beta-carotene and are super high in fiber,” said Chef Sam Glass the head of the Culinary Department at Centennial College. “They also have more potassium than bananas.” And aside from the baked goods its fairly common to make pumpkin soups, pumpkin salads, or even pumpkin ravioli! So the next time you see a pumpkin, think twice, because the good ol’ jack-o-lantern packs more of a nutritional punch than you may think.

Calisthenics a workout for people (personal trainer) By: Hannah Richardson

Calisthenics: Calisthenics are a form of exercise that utilizes one’s body weight for resistance to most often increase strength, muscle endurance, muscle tone, and flexibility. Movements can include jumping, hanging, bending, twisting, etc. Since they are more simple and accessible, calisthenic exercises are often used to create home workout plans.

Home Workouts: On those days when it is not possible to venture into the gym, a well built home workout is what you will need. Calisthenic exercises, various household items and furniture and smaller fitness equipment such as: resistance bands, tubing, stability balls, steps, bosu balls, medicine balls, kettle bells, etc. are often used during home workouts. Home workouts can be done at virtually any time during your day at home, and provides individuals with the ability to gain the same benefits that being in a gym setting provides, without the big machines and extra bodies.

Tips to assist in balancing your study and workout schedules: Scheduling your workouts will help immensely, as you can then plan your day around it. This will not only assist with keeping your workouts regular, but will also allow you to add very important things as well, such as study times, meals, and meetings. This will ensure that you do not skip or forget any of the important components of your day. Exercising to music often helps increase the enjoyment and energy during your work out. It will also help you to focus on your workout, and nothing else. Take 15min-30min study breaks every couple of hours and squeeze in a few minutes of cardiovascular exercise, and some calisthenics exercises. This will not only help you to refocus, but will give you the build up of endorphins and energy that you may need to continue with the task at hand. Exercising is also accumulative. Therefore, every minute counts.

Don’t have equipment? That’s fine, because simple house hold items and furniture can be used to assist with exercises. For example: for a great cardiovascular break, complete a 30min step class with some up-tempo music. This can take place on a safe staircase in your house, apartment building, or neighborhood park. To increase the intensity of your squats why not hold a canned good (in place of a dumbbell) in each hand while completing the squat.

For a complete, well built personal fitness program, which includes a list of exercises and direction on when, where, and how to complete each exercise, please contact an AWC Personal Trainer.

he road to this year’s men’s soccer provincial quarter-finals was paved with years of hard work. According to Centennial College sports information officer Paul Martin, who also serves on the team’s coaching staff, success this season was in the making for some time. With this season’s 5-1-2 record, the Centennial men’s soccer team finished the regular season second in the East Division. The result means the team will start the playoffs in the OCAA quarterfinal round. After a 1-7 record three seasons ago, the team’s performance has steadily improved. “It’s actually been a slow progression…it’s been building,” said Martin. Martin attributes this year’s success to initiatives carried out by the college, athletics department, coaching staff and players. These initiatives include a new facility, a new home field, year-round training, re-branding the team image and academic help for the players. Team co-captain Mark Tarazhi agrees. The team took a serious approach in preparationfor the most important game of their season, hosting Sheridan College in the quarter-final match. “This is a big game for us because they’re a very good team…We’re practicing all week long… we’ve done some scouting reports, we’re really studying what they do,” said Martin. Team co-captain Adrian Field believes the key to winning lies in the team’s game plan. “So long as we execute the plan, there should be no problem,” said Field. Centennial lost 3-1 to Sheridan in the quarter-final, but had a great season nonetheless. pg 20

ighting is the most essential part of a photo. Because of that, it’s simply not enough going outside in the Sun and assume you’ll take good pictures, there are very specific things to consider when it comes to light. Those things are quality, temperature, and direction.

Quality of light can be broken down into two categories: hard and soft. Hard light is produced on sunny days and is good for bringing out colour and contrast, but high noon should be avoided due to harsh shadows. Soft light is produced on cloudy days and is characterized by even lighting and minimal shadows, ideal for all shooting conditions. The downside is the lower contrast, and a less pleasing colour due to the temperature.

LIGHTING

Tutorial

By: Dennis Gonzales

1: Hard directional lighting - Generally hard lighting isn’t good for portraiture, but if your purpose is to be dramatic, hard lighting is a must. This was taken during eviction night of Occupy Toronto.

The last thing to consider regarding lighting characteristics is the direction of the light source, not only does it dictate where light falls, but also where shadows form. In practice, shoot in the early morning or late afternoon; the sun is lower in the sky, and you can take advantage of different light directions, as opposed to just one.

2: Temperature Original - Camera in auto white balance can make bad guesses with multiple light sources.

3 5

5: Soft lighting - Taken during the Toronto Zombie Car Wash. The rain clouds created a pleasant light to an ostensibly grisly scene.

4: Everything - An example of all principles in action, back lit sunset with very mild fill light (almost no specular highlights) while still maintaining proper skin tone and white balance. Temperature (or white balance) is a colour characteristic of the visible light spectrum, and it ranges from blue, like on a cloudy day; to yellow, like on a sunny day. Different colours create different tones, which can change how a picture feels. It’s also important to note that different lights (flash, incandescent, fluorescent, etc.) create different colours, because of that you should avoid multiple light sources to avoid colour mixing. pg 22

3: Temperature Corrected - Correcting the problem requires human intervention.
