This Issue in History: Volume 40 (2005), Issue 0 Nine years ago, in Arthur’s very first Issue Zero, editor Sara Swerdlyk and contributor Alissa Paxton published a scathing feature entitled “Welcome to Trent. Time for a History Lesson�.

The piece blasted the Trent administration, and in particular president Bonnie Patterson, for its handling of university affairs during the early 2000s.

Patterson, who occupied the presidency from 1998-2009, was a highly controversial figure within the Trent community and is now chiefly remembered for her vendetta against Trent’s two downtown colleges, Traill College and Peter Robinson College, the latter of which was closed in 2001 by the university despite numerous student and faculty protests as well as a lengthy court battle.

In their article, Swerdlyk and Paxton memorably called the president “the shame of Trent University� and give her the rather fetching nickname Bonnie ‘Personification of Evil’ Patterson.

Fast forward to today and we find that Trent University is on (relatively) firmer ground, with the administration and the community enjoying a (reasonably) more cordial relationship.

However, should things once again sour we at Arthur wish to be clear that will not hesitate to trawl through hours of vintage WWE footage to come up with new administrator nicknames that are just as bone-chillingly apt.

Editorial

Right now we’re thinking: Leo ‘Legion of Doom’ Groarke.

Or, better yet, ‘Nonaihilator’ Robinson: bane of Blackburn Hall.

Hmm... On second thought, let’s hope we don’t have to resort to such measures.

If you want to read Swerdlyk and Paxton’s original article from Volume 40, peruse the entire collection of old Arthurs, or get your own badass nickname, drop by Arthur’s office on the main floor of Sadleir House.

This rag is YOUR rag

#Z .BUUIFX 3BQQPMU

First of all, to the first year students reading this paper, whether you stumbled across it by chance or pulled it out of your shiny new ISW bag, welcome to Trent University!

You’re about to take your first brave steps into a world of administrative politics, budget cut-backs, system-wide metrics, bureaucratic dysfunction, and (if you’re lucky) a smattering here or there of honest education.

Although you might not feel it just yet, your educational experience has already begun.

Whether you’ve been up to your eyeballs in introductory seminars and ISW activities, exploring the many corners of downtown Peterborough, or sneaking into the drumlin with some friends and a bottle of gin, your education is founded just as much upon what you experience outside the classroom as what you learn within it.

So what is this mess of pages that you

hold in your hands? And, more importantly, why should you care about it, let alone read it?

Well, Arthur Newspaper was created in 1966 by a group of feisty young Trent intellectuals who sought a space on campus where students and Trent community members could report on and discuss campus affairs.

In their inaugural editorial, Arthur’s first editors declared that the intent of this newspaper was “provide reporting and comment on [university] events... and to act as an organ of communication... for individuals and organizations.�

Suffice it to say that in the forty-eight years since those words were first typewritten (by hand on individual sheets of white A4 paper) Arthur has become so much more than that to the Trent and Peterborough communities.

Over the past five decades this paper has been this university’s news service, its bulletin board, its soapbox, its diary, its punching bag and even, on rare oc-

casions, its dating service.

Through it all, Arthur has remained a newspaper driven by the passionate contributions from the community.

In this issue alone there are more than twenty volunteer submissions ranging from a useful ‘how to’ piece (page 3), to poignant musings on life and education (pages 4 and 5), to arts and culture coverage (page 16), to a comprehensive guide of student life and community activism pages .

Occasionally scandalous, frequently controversial, Arthur is your student newspaper.

It is your platform, Trent student, to engage with and debate the issues you care about, to showcase your literary and artistic talents, and to broadcast your satisfaction or dissatisfaction with your university experience.

Put simply, this paper is yours to make of what you will.

As co-editors of Volume 49, Pat and I are along for the ride. We can’t wait to see where you will take us.

Interested in getting to know Arthur?

Student Life: Pets

How to keep pets in residence and get away with it

By Jesse Woods

If you’re reading this article, it probably means you read the residence agreement and you’re very aware that no animals, including fish, are allowed on residence.

That said, you also probably don’t care and you’re super excited to own a pet now that you’re away from home.

Before I get into how to sneak the pets in, and what sort of pets are ideal for residence life, I’m just going to go over the whole “what’s going to happen if you get caught” piece.

The No Pets rule is part of the building policy, which is outlined in your residence agreement. Also mentioned is “no tape, sticky tack or any sort of general adhesives allowed on the wall,” which the Dons don’t even regard.

Anyway, Section F of the Residence Guide explains the consequences of breaking these rules, which would be classed as a level one or two offence. Punishment could range from an administrative warning, community service, or in the case of a level two offence (or a second offence) loss of privileges, residence relocation, or the Residence Agreement being terminated.

Of course, if you otherwise don’t break residence rules, you might get some slack, so if you want a pet in residence, don’t be

that person who brings in beer bottles and drinks in the hallway.

That’s my disclaimer, and over my two years of living on residence, I never had a problem with keeping pets, kettles, plants, or sticky tack in my dorm.

But say you do get caught, well you’ve been warned and neither Arthur nor myself are responsible.

If you managed to get past all of the warnings, you’re obviously still wondering how to sneak animals into residence.

For starters, be smart about what sort of pet you want to have. You can’t have a cat or dog on campus, or birds, since they’ll all be too loud and you’ll get caught pretty fast.

Plus all of these pets have long life spans. Unless you can guarantee to commit at least 10+ years and tons of money, don’t get something that’ll outlive your time at university.

The same goes for rabbits, lizards, snakes, guinea pigs, chinchillas and other small mammals. They live a long time and it’s irresponsible to abandon a pet when you leave town.

Don’t get a ferret. They are tiny carpet snakes that will escape your dorm room, and your don will not be pleased to see you chasing a ferret down the hall.

Micro mammals, like mice or hamsters, are good choices, although keep in mind

they can be very stinky and will need to have their habitats cleaned daily to make sure the smell doesn’t bug your neighbours.

They also are nocturnal and will run on their squeaky wheels all night long, even when its 4 am and you have an exam at 9.

The silent wheels you can buy from the pet store are not actually that quiet and they will still keep you up.

Your neighbours might also be allergic to these sorts of animals. It’s a bit of a catch-22 since asking everyone on your floor if they’re allergic to mice will be a dead giveaway, as would a neighbour bursting out into hives.

Fish are good options (and they tend not to cause allergies), but keep in mind the general rule that for every inch long the fish is, you need at least 1 gallon of water.

Keeping a proper 10 gallon tank in a dorm would be almost impossible, and would quickly be discovered, so keep that in mind when trying to pick fish.

Personally I would recommend betta fish [pictured] to keep on campus. They’re relatively hardy, look super cool, and can put up with a lot of crap.

Get yourself set up with, at least, a 1.5 gallon tank and a heater, especially since the school doesn’t turn on the heat until after Reading Break, and you’ll be good to go!

Don’t buy those tiny, ridiculous “betta bowls.” It’d be like being force to live in a room half the size of your dorm room for the rest of your life.

Make sure you also have a place in your room to keep their home that is relatively out of sight, and where you can quickly hide it if there is a knock at your door.

As an LEC student, I can say that the cubby behind the mirror is an excellent place to hide a pet in a pinch, which I hear also exist in Champlain.

Otonabee students might be able to utilize their closet for this as well.

I was only in Gzowski College once and I can’t really remember the layout of the rooms, so good luck friends!

That said, GC and LEC student have a bit of an advantage, that being that most of them don’t have to share a room, so they can just go get their pet and not worry about anyone’s opinion on it, since, other than their friends, no one is going to see the animal.

(Don’t be friends with snitches.)

If you have a roommate, obviously you

need their permission to get a pet, since the two or three of you will all have to deal with the consequences if you get caught.

Having a roommate does mean you’ll have someone to take care of the pet if you go on any weekend trips, although you’ll probably have to sneak it home with you on reading break and winter holidays since the poor thing can’t survive on its own for that long.

As well, cleaners tend to come in the rooms at that time, so having a staving pet in there would not be good, and you’ll get reported pretty fast.

For LEC and GC students (or anyone in OC or CC with a single room), make sure you have a friend to take care of your pet when you’re gone on weekends!

Anyway, here’s the actual sneaking an animal into campus part.

Don’t do it for about the first month at least. The Dons haven’t been worn down from dealing with all the new students yet, so they’ll be on high alert, and they’ll probably catch you sneaking it in.

They’ll also probably forget about this article by October, so that’s when you strike.

If you carry a backpack or purse with you, put a box in it so it’ll keep other stuff from falling on it. Simply go buy your pet and put it in the box in your bag (bring socks or something if you get fish so they won’t be flopping around too much, fish can’t handle stress, much like students) and zip it up. Boom, got a pet in the building.

Similarly, you can carry them in another inconspicuous box, such as a printer box, or any package-looking box, heck even put a fake label on it so it looks like your parents or friends sent you a care package.

Again, put your new partner-in-crime in there and boom, got a pet in the building.

In the colder months, it’s even easier to get a pet in, thanks to the many layers you’re probably going to be wearing. Just put it inside your coat, being careful not to squish it and, dang, you just snuck in another pet.

Personally, that’s how I snuck my fish in. Plus, in the winter I’d made sure they didn’t get too cold while they were outside or on the bus with me.

Just make sure you know how to take care of whatever animal you want, you can keep it for however long it might live.

Go nuts with your new, contraband animal friend.

Operation Catnip! Helping feral and abandoned cats

By Teddi Pappas

What is the difference between a feral and an abandoned cat? The volunteers with Operation Catnip! Trap/Neuter/Return of Feral & Abandoned Cats hear this question often.

They can tell you that an abandoned cat is one who has lived with people and has been displaced from their home.

All too often people abandon their cat when they are unable or unwilling to continue caring for them. When these cats are intact (they are able to reproduce), they can produce as many as four litters of two to six kittens each year.

Kittens born of abandoned cats who live outdoors and have little or no human contact are referred to as feral. Feral and abandoned cats struggle to survive outdoors. Experts estimate that between 50-75% of feral kittens die before reaching adulthood. Typically, an abandoned cat is especially vulnerable as they are not

prepared to fend for themselves.

That’s where Operation Catnip comes in! They are a small group of volunteers who work with people who care for feral and abandoned cats (referred to as Colony Caregivers) to reduce suffering and the population of these cats through TNR (Trap/Neuter/Return). Cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated for rabies, provided deflea/deworm medication, and returned to live outdoors with their caregiver.

They are kept indoors (in a trap) pre- and post-operation to reduce risk of medical complications.

Operation Catnip was founded in February 2012. Since they started trapping in April 2013, they have worked with 70 Colony Caregivers to serve a total of 200 cats.

They serve Peterborough and immediate surrounding areas and provide services according to availability of money and volunteers.

Their work can only continue with the

generosity of their community to donate money and time.

Volunteers are needed to: provide care for cats pre/post operation, foster friendly cats, trap & transport cats, plan/ attend fundraising events, help with

administrative tasks. Training is provided.

Student Life

Embracing our global citizenship: Where are you from?

By Pauline Marcelo

For many, beginning university is a step into the future that once only existed in your imagination.

Freedom and youth blend into an intoxicating mix of boundless energy, immense possibilities, life-altering ideas, and inexhaustible fun.

You’re unshackled—the master of your destiny. What’s more, no one is telling you to clean your room anymore.

But take a step back. Imagine you’re a continent and an ocean away from home, where sign posts all bear the characters of a foreign language; you have a non-functional cellphone and you know no one.

Literally. No one.

On top of that, your body clock is 12 hours ahead of local time, microwavables are currently the staple, and the water

tastes weird (It really does).

“Wait, I have to figure out what courses to take? What does a half-credit mean?

What’s APA?!”

Suddenly, beginning university is a dive at the edge of the cliff when you don’t know how to swim.

Perhaps this is the extreme of the international student experience. While some students feel out of their element, others are immersed in an adventure of unparalleled wonder.

The uncertainty fuels the excitement, the unfamiliarity is enchanting, and in the strangers that abound are friends to be found.

Undeniably, the experience of living and studying abroad is worth more than the degree earned at the end of it.

The lessons you learn outside the classroom—be it cooking, juggling a budget,

learning greetings in six languages, or striking up a conversation by commenting on the weather—keep you afloat.

You begin to understand that independence is more than a way of being. Rather, it’s a responsibility and boy, did you have it so much easier back home!

One lesson in particular is rooted in the most common question that binds the experience of all international students:“Where are you from?”

While a geographical location is sufficient response, this can stir a quarter-life identity crisis. (Trust me, it’s a thing.)

You might be talking to a third culture kid who’s lived most of their life in Dubai but their family roots are in the Philippines, thus a straightforward answer is impossible.

But to this question, perhaps a more abstract response fits. Does the term “global

citizen” ring a bell?

As our communities diversify, nationality, citizenship, ethnicity become fluid.

Our identities, rooted in experience, beliefs and goals, are today unbound to the geographical confines of the question ‘where we are from’.

Yes, it’s an abstract concept to be a ‘global citizen’. But perhaps learning together, living together in colorful, compassionate communities can be a step towards understanding global citizenship.

After all, reading this probably sparked the realization that commonalities in the university transition are shared between the now-distinct categories of internationals and domestics. Small world, eh?

To you, wherever you are from, you are part of the vivacious, expanding global citizens’ community at Trent – welcome home.

Beginnings, endings, and other things

By Renzo Costa

Beginnings always bear something uncertain about them. The thrill of the unexpected is often met with the fear of the unexpected.

There is a type of beginning that is distinctively particular in the thrill that it generates, but also on the uncertainty it produces: the beginning of an end.

For us taking on the last year of university, we often wonder on the time that has passed and on what is to come. Past experiences and memories get enhanced in an effort to figure out how to best spend the last year at university.

One of the best ways to figure out how to end a phase is to go back to its beginning.

Checklists or to-do lists are not sufficient to figure out how to best take on the last year.

If anything, those lists restrict our freedom and generate a level of disillusionment, as many of those tasks may not be completed towards the end of the year.

A more holistic and simple perspective is perhaps a better choice. Instead of making checklists of what remains to be done on the last year, it is perhaps wiser to wonder why we came to university in the first place, what we set out to accomplish, and how much we diverted from that path and why.

In a way it is as our dear professors often

predicate: if you ask the wrong questions, you will probably get the wrong answers.

For those who will soon start university for the first time, I guess being open towards change is an extremely useful skill to have.

Sometimes things do not occur as expected or planned. However, if we make our fundamental reasons for being in university clear then it is easier to mould our experiences towards having a successful time here.

Success is another often used word.

It has a plethora of different meanings, which is in reality an excellent thing. The fact that success is flexible and takes on diverse shapes, allows us to have different versions of what it means.

By virtue of being an international student, another dimension is added. The beginning of an end is also met with the decision of once again moving to a different destination, or perhaps not.

This also applies to domestic students, since finishing university will often entail moving to another geographical location in the country.

This is where reverse culture shock comes into play. Those who return to their homes, both domestically and abroad, have a new way of looking at things. It may be the case that not much has changed, but it is certainly true that we have.

Culminating a transformative experi-

ence, such as four years in university, definitely changes your understanding of life.

Perhaps we are used to seeing the new and to continuously changing, but going back to what was left behind sometimes may be harder than it seems.

The same faces and places are met with a transformed self. This self sometimes struggles to understand the dynamics of those places since we look at them from a different point of view.

Being aware and reflexive about these issues enhances the way we take on our last

year of university.

In an effort to what is commonly described as “make the most of it” we have to be conscious of what that actually means.

Is it to cross every check on the to do list? Or is it to go back and contemplate how our past years have diverted from our expectations at the start?

In a way, the beginning of an end is no more than an opportunity to transform that end into the start of something new.

Student Life

I’ve done nothing this summer and its been wonderful

By Sarah MacDonald

Three years ago, I began an Arthur article for Issue Zero (my first, actually) complaining about how the summer was speeding by before my freshman year.

I guess I was trying to cling onto that last little bit of youth before heading off into the big world.

By contrast, now heading into my final year at Trent, I find myself doing the opposite. I kind of want the summer to be over.

The world I faced as a freshman no longer seems so big. It was too easy to adapt to the quick and easy lifestyle of a student, where I could waste an entire day doing nothing, nursing a hangover, and not feel a single whiff of guilt about it.

It was easy to open my eyes to new op-

portunities and embrace the change. And now my life is about to change yet again — with the promise of graduation looming in a few semesters.

There was a time in my life when, if I really wanted to stress myself out, I would just ask myself what my plans are after school. And even if my toes still clench at the idea of the unforeseen future, it no longer makes me break out in hives.

Sometimes you have to step back, take a breath, and think, “At least I’m here.” I say this because my life took a direction that I never intended to happen.

This summer, I published my very first book. I say first because I never intend to stop writing, no matter what career path I choose. And I realized, ultimately, this was my goal from the beginning.

The publication is not like a “quit school and write forever” kind of deal, but it did put me on the right path.

If someone had told me in my freshman year that I would eventually drop my Honours and still be no closer to knowing what I want to do by the time I graduate, I probably would doubted this whole school thing from the beginning.

But the truth is, everyone’s kind of in the same boat. And there’s something kind of freeing about deciding what to do with my future now.

I could continue with school, true. I could move back home, I could work, I could volunteer, I could go on a road trip, I could write another book.

In fact, I just might take off for a few months to Europe and take the time to

myself that I should have taken right after high school.

Will any of that help me on my way to discovering “What I Want To Do?” Maybe.

Maybe not.

If I’ve learned anything (and don’t get me wrong, I’ve learned lots of things here,) it’s that everyone has that pesky WIWTD question to deal with, and everyone solves it at a different pace.

My first article lamented the fact that summer went too fast; that I wasted it not accomplishing anything.

This time around, I’m embracing not doing anything. Because sooner than later, I’m going to be doing something, and that something is my choice.

Plans change.

Welcome to Adulthood Time to Self-Educate

By Simon Turner

In first year, I knew this guy who really liked this TA who I hated.

This student’s reason for liking him?

Because the TA was a white, middleclass, cis, straight man who didn’t know anything about race issues, gender or sexuality issues, or feminism.

They connected on the principle of being uneducated.

And I found that really uncomfortable— like okay, good for you for recognizing your ignorance and doing absolutely nothing about it.

Good for you for taking the time to complain about how uneducated you are and not bothering to spend any time actually, oh, I don’t know, educating yourself!

In the distance, I hear the plethora of self-righteous cries: “But how do I go about educating myself? Isn’t it not polite to just ask people of different identities or whatever to answer all my inane questions?”

Well duh. That’s why Trent has a plethora of student groups that will immerse you in all the education you need.

If you feel like you don’t know things, then why not get involved. Attend some workshops, discussion groups, visiting speakers.

Too lazy to look up what Trent has to offer? I can give some of my personal suggestions: The Trent Queer Collective (page 9). For gender, romantic, and sexual minorities i.e. gays, trans people, asexual/aromantic folks, two-spirits, bisexuals, pansexuals, and anything else under the rainbow.

The Community Race Relations Committee (page 13). For everything not white-supremacy and institutional racism.

The Centre for Gender and Social Justice (also page 13). Primarily a feminist group delving into intersectionality of identities in contributing to oppression.

And, in general, it’s a good idea to keep your eyes peeled. There’s always a lot happening on campus and downtown, and people are big on postering. Everywhere.

Don’t worry, you’ll definitely find more than enough to do.

Have a Medical Emergency?

Call TUEFRT!

By Katherine Harvey

What is TUEFRT? The Trent University Emergency First Response Team (TUEFRT) is a studentrun volunteer organization that provides advanced first aid to the Trent community.

Although we are not a replacement for EMS, our volunteers are trained First Responders and are available 24/7 to respond to any medical emergency. We are quick to respond to emergency situations and can usually get to the scene in under 5 minutes.

How do you call TUEFRT? If you or someone around you is experiencing a medical emergency, call 705-748-1333. Like EMS, a dispatcher will answer your call and collect some information such as your location and emergency. The dispatcher will then radio TUEFRT who will promptly respond to the emergency.

When should you call TUEFRT? You can call TUEFRT for any medical concern. These include but are not limited to: muscle and bone injuries, allergic reactions, trouble breathing, burns, cuts, head and neck injuries, diabetic emergencies, seizures, and mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.

If you are not sure whether something is considered a medical concern, you can call TUEFRT and we can help you assess the situation.

Interested in Volunteering with TUEFRT? TUEFRT is always looking for outgoing and dependable Trent students to join our

team.

Tryouts will be held at the end of September and again in January. As a member of the team, you will first receive training in Standard First Aid, after which you will be trained as an Emergency First Responder.

As a First Responder, you will have the knowledge and skills to perform advanced first aid skills, such as administering oxygen and boarding and collaring a person with a spinal injury.

All Responders are required to be onshift about 8-16 hours a week (including night shifts) and attend training sessions at least once a month. Being a responder is both a rewarding and challenging experience that requires good communication skills, quick thinking, and the ability to be calm and collected in an emergency situation.

If you are interested in trying out for TUEFRT, keep your eyes open for posters around campus announcing the tryout dates.

TACSU

By The 2014-15 TACSU Exexcutive

The Trent African Caribbean Student Union (TACSU) is a regional group that functions to promote, preserve and protect the African and Caribbean culture and, to a larger extent, creates an outlet that enriches the diversity at Trent.

There are indeed many aspects of our group that creates the magic that is our students union, from debates on contemporary cultural issues to socials.

However, it is worth noting that one of the core contributing aspects is our belief in the freedom of expression.

From dancing, to singing, acting and poetry among others, we have come to learn that this opportunity and appreciation for human expression through the arts truly forms the essence of the group. And while our group is primarily made up of African and Caribbean students, we boast international students from other regions, as well as local Canadian students.

This student union has given us the opportunity to thrive and has provided an avenue for us to contribute to the students’ community here at Trent and in the Peterborough community as well.

As a group we host a number of events, with the most popular being The Afrobana Showcase Festival, in which members of the group exhibit and perform various facets of African and Caribbean culture.

Whether it’s traditional dances or a colourful cultural attire display, Afrobana always delivers a powerful performance that takes its guests from the coasts of the Caribbean to the warm terrain of Africa, and gives everyone the chance to reflect on the medley of different cultures.

In addition, there is an exciting forum we hope to have set up by the winter semester, the first Breakfast Club sessions organized by the group.

The basis of these sessions lies in the firm realization that we, the youth, are the leaders and game changers of tomorrow.

The Breakfast Club will be student-

lead, and will involve discussions on the economic and political aspects of the Caribbean and African countries. We look forward to having a number of participants and we also encourage everyone to sign up. Information about the Breakfast Club will be made available throughout the academic year.

Starting in September, TACSU plans to host its annual Welcome Back BBQ and the Welcome Back Party. We find that the annual BBQ is a wonderful setting to meet new people and to reconnect with old friends. What’ll follow the BBQ is the Welcome Back Party, where everyone is invited to come out and usher in the new academic school year with a party that is sure to entertain everyone who attends.

Our other planned events for the year vary from upbeat and entertaining socials to inspiring and educational discussions. All in all, we hope to bring the best of TACSU this year and we encourage everyone to join and participate in our events. We also hope to inspire and provide the Trent student community with an unforgettable experience. Here is to looking forward to a fantastic year.

Trent Muslim Student Association

By Bakhtawar Riaz (President) and Noor Zanzoul (Publicity Director)

The Trent Muslim Student Association (TMSA) is a non-profit group with around 200 members! We have been a student group since 1999. Our goal is to help our members integrate with the Peterborough community and their post-secondary experience.

Our aim is to help Muslims preserve their Islamic values while working within Canadian society, as well as to educate both Muslims and non-Muslims about the Islamic faith, stereotypes, and other issues.

The TMSA represents the voice of the Muslim students at Trent. We accommodate and help current and prospective members at the university with their academic, social and religious needs.

TMSA also encourages and builds relations with both Muslim and nonMuslims and groups within the Trent community as well as beyond.

Basically, TMSA is your spot to get any information you want about Islam and Muslims, whether it is for a school essay or just general knowledge. You can reach out to TMSA for whatever you need and we will try to help you as much as possible. Inquiries can be about housing, information about the Peterborough community, prayer timings, our events,

www.trentarthur.ca

any criticisms you may have, etc. And of course, ideas about events are always welcome!

TMSA is quite an active group on campus and our events are geared towards providing an Islamic atmosphere while fulfilling your social, academic and physical needs. Some of our annual events include our Eid dinner, Pink Hijab Day, and Islam Awareness Week.

Last year we were able to add Grad Dinner to the list of annual events, and this year we will be adding Charity Week to the list.

TMSA is connected to other Ontario wide MSAs, and together last year, we organized a winter coat drive for Syria.

This year we will be joining forces with them to raise funds for charity for an entire week!

TGIF! Or should I say TGIJ? (Thank God it’s Jumm’uah) Do you have classes on Friday and are worried about attending Friday Prayer at the mosque? Well, TMSA has you covered! We offer Jummu’ah prayers on campus at LEC 202.

Also how awesome is the fact that we offer FREE weekly Arabic classes?

So as you can see there is a lot to be involved in with the Trent Muslim Students Association. So send us a shout if you want to volunteer, ask questions or suggest an idea! We hope to see you around.

Trent Queer Collective

clubs & Groups

By TQC

It is currently September, and if you’re reading this, I’m just going to assume that this month is kind of a big deal for you.

What you’re reading right now is a short blurb describing what your local campus queer student group’s got planned for this week.

I bet you heard Trent was pretty much the “gay”school. I mean, I sure heard that a lot all the way in Toronto. I mean, I heard it a surprising amount. This message came to me from drop-outs, Peterborough ex-pats and just seemed to be blowing in the wind.

Well, I asked Trent I and didn’t get much of an answer. Brutalist Architecture, rivers, and greenspace don’t really like answering questions about their orientation.

All that being said, Trent does have a reputation for having a lot of queer identified students, despite our small size. So we at the TQC have our work cut out for us.

What exactly do we do? We connect students with resources in the area, provide safe, accountable spaces, and rainbows to you, dear reader. Our website will have more in depth details (www.trentqueercollective.com).

We’re also really into anyone who wants to bring some fresh ideas to our little hub,

Ukelele in hand, the performer on-stage introduces himself, saying “Hi, I’m Shawn, and I have anxiety”. The scene becomes even more moving when this is followed by a cheer from the crowd and a spattering of encouragement and agreement.

When we share our stories and experi-

ences with mental health, everyone wins.

Like Shawn, we can give and gain encouragement at the same time, all the while reducing stigma and creating a discourse that leads to healing.

At Trent’s Active Minds we are dedicated to connecting students with the tools they need as they make their way through their post-secondary journey.

We act as a liaison between students and

resources available on campus and in the community, and we take a holistic and preventative approach to mental health.

Our focus is on encouraging healthy lifestyle choices in regards to self-care, nutrition, fitness, sexual health, spirituality, and social life.

By catalyzing a free and open conversation about mental health on campus we hope to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness.

Post-secondary students are especially vulnerable to struggles with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and bipolar disorder.

Through a proactive approach to wellbeing, Active Minds strives to provide programming that encourages students and provides them with the tools to take responsibility for their health, reduce stress, and achieve their fullest potential in life.

Active Minds holds open, weekly meetings and hosts a number of events for students and community members during the

Trent University Music Society (TUMS)

By Lindsay Thackeray

Whether you like to putter around on the clarinet, jam on the guitar, or show off your pipes at an open mic session, the Trent University Music Society (TUMS) has something for you.

As Trent’s group for all things music, we try to make music as accessible as we can.

We organize two choirs and two bands that practice weekly, in addition to coordinating a number of musical events throughout the year.

Like to sing? Join our concert choir, which practices a range of traditional to contemporary pieces.

Or, if you’re looking for something more obscure, join our madrigal choir, which sings music from the Renaissance era. Both of our choirs are open to singers of all experience levels, with no auditions.

If instrumentals are more your thing, look into joining our concert and jazz bands. Concert band gathers once a week

to practice orchestral pieces, while jazz band plays anything jazz-related, from swing and funk to latin and blues.

All skill levels are encouraged. Join by signing up on Clubs and Groups Day, or email us at trentumusic@gmail.com.

Want to join a TUMS band but don’t have your own instrument? We’ll rent you one! See our website for details (www.trentumusic.ca).

TUMS also organizes a jammer’s club, which meets for weekly, informal jam sessions. However, we need people to coordi-

nate them this year or it won’t happen. If you’d like to oversee a jam session or two, get in touch with us!

In addition to jammer’s club reps, we’ve also got TUMS positions open for event coordinators and a secretary. For more information, email us at trentumusic@gmail. com. We’d love some new faces!

Stay up to date with our upcoming events by visiting our website, or finding us on Twitter (@ trentumusic) and Facebook (facebook.com/ trentumusic.ca).

We have weekly open mics at the Trend pub in Traill college Thursdays at 8pm starting September 11th, so come on out if you have a song to sing.

Or if you just want to listen, that’s cool too.

Now is also a good

time to start thinking about Battle of the Bands. Auditions open up in February, so get a band together and start practicing.

There is over $1000 in prizes to be won!

TUMS events are usually free and always fun.

We try our best to provide a musical outlet to students who love music.

Sustainable Trent: environmental justice on campus

By Calvin Beauchesne

Trent University is consistently ranked as a leader for its environmental commitment in university reports by several media sources, from Maclean’s Magazine to the Globe and Mail.

In addition to our LEED standard buildings, our rooftop garden, and our Fair Trade certified cuisine, Trent also has a reputation for having one of the best Environmental Studies/Sciences programs in the country.

This is a great achievement and it is definitely something we should all be proud of. However, we still have a long way to go when it comes to environmental sustainability.

That is why groups like Sustainable Trent exist. Sustainable Trent is a student organization that advocates and takes action for sustainability and environmental justice on campus, in the Nogojiwanong (Peterborough) community, and beyond.

We pressure the Trent administration to make systemic changes within the school, as well as encourage and give opportunities to students to make environmentally responsible choices in their everyday life.

Our work is rooted in anti-capitalism, anti-colonialism, anti-racism, and antiglobalization. We also stand in solidarity with Indigenous peoples’ struggles for justice, land, and rights, and support these efforts where we can.

Sustainable Trent is currently working on four campaigns: fossil fuel divestment, food justice, “NO Parkway!” and Lug-aMug. Sustainable Trent has been actively campaigning for the school administration to withdraw its financial investments in the fossil fuel industry (ie. the school’s endowment, pension fund) and to instead reinvest that money in sustainable alternatives like renewable energy.

The Board of Governors has begun looking into the issue in depth and is set to make a decision regarding divestment in

12

www.trentarthur.ca

early 2015.

As a group, we support an in-house, student-run food service system that is locally sourced, sustainable, and notfor-profit, with sufficient options for vegetarian/vegan/culturally appropriate meals. This is in contrast to the corporate monopoly held by the food service provider Chartwells (and previously Aramark) at our school.

Sustainable Trent supports initiatives like the Seasoned Spoon, the Ceilie and the Planet North, and we hope the entire food system on campus can model itself after these existing restaurants.

We also support efforts to expand on the work of the Trent Vegetable Gardens and create a sustainable farm on campus that would provide local organic food for students.

Sustainable Trent is against the City’s plans to pave over a long strip of greenspace known as the Parkway corridor and build a 4-lane bridge through Jackson Park, a beautiful wild greenspace located near downtown Nogojiwanong.

The bridge would effectively ruin the best urban park in the City, and we believe traffic problems would be better dealt with by investing in public transportation and cycling/pedestrian infrastructure.

Years ago Sustainable Trent created a program called Lug-a-Mug to encourage people to bring reusable mugs with them when they purchase their morning coffee on campus in an effort to limit the amount of waste from Trent going into our landfills.

Some of our members have taken it upon themselves to give coupons purchased by Sustainable Trent to students they see with a reusable mug for a free coffee, hot chocolate, or tea at any cafeteria on campus, or at the Seasoned Spoon or Planet North (only valid if you bring your reusable mug of course).

As an organization that is completely volunteer-run, we are always looking for new members who are passionate about making a difference and willing to take the

time to help out with our work.

As a group we strive to be as inclusive as possible, and welcome people from all backgrounds, ethnicities, experience levels, ages, abilities, sexual orientations, and genders.

If none of our current campaigns interest you, we always welcome ideas for possible new campaigns.

We operate in a way that is nonhierarchical by practicing consensus-based decision-making. That is, we try to give everyone equal speaking time and we make decisions by taking into account everyone’s opinions, opposed to the majority rules concept.

We do have positions such as Logistics Coordinator and Financial Coordinator to make things run more smoothly, but we reject any bureaucratic terms such as ‘President’ or ‘Leader’.

As a levy group, we are fortunate enough to be able to provide funding for the expenses of our campaigns, as well as for events and funding requests from other groups at Trent and Nogojiwanong that

support our mandate.

Some things we’ve chosen to fund in 2013-2014 were: a series of workshops put on by the Seasoned Spoon throughout the year, the Peterborough Greenspace Coalition to help out with their NO Parkway! campaign, and transportation to and from Halifax for Trent students to attend PowerShift Atlantic; an environmental/social justice activist conference.

If you want to see change on campus, want to meet like-minded people, or just want to get involved with a group, we’d love to have you on board!

Please contact us at sustainabletrentu@ gmail.com if you are interested in being involved.

Centre for Gender and Social Justice By ki

The Centre for Gender & Social Justice (CGSJ) was once the Trent Women’s Centre; an organization that provided a woman-centric, often women’s-only, space for women-identified Trent students and community members.

A site for community building and collective resistance, the Centre was a hub of women’s advocacy.

From direct action initiatives, campaigns focused around women’s health, women’s open mics and so much more, the Trent Women’s Centre, like other Women’s Centres emerging out of universities at the time, in tandem with Women’s Studies as a discipline, offered much needed space for women in the academy and the broader community.

And as the women-centric nature of feminist politics have shifted (evidenced by even Trent University’s own Women’s Studies department’s recent re-branding as Gender & Women’s Studies) so too have university/campus-based women’s centres.

As the scope of feminisms broadened to capture crossroads or intersections of identities, experiences, and marginalizations, the names, mandates, policies, practices, and programming at these centres did too.

In response to recommendations informed by a needs assessment and political climate analysis completed in 2008 (as well as emergent understandings of the ways in which mainstream feminism and by extension bodies like the Trent Women’s Centre were complicit in the ongoing exclusion of those who didn’t fit within a dominant understanding of white, heterosexual, able bodied, cis gendered womanhood, and in a spirit of transformation, accountability and restorative justice) the Trent Women’s Centre was renamed and revamped as the Centre for Gender & Social Justice (CGSJ) in Spring 2009.

Working with the three pillars of Community Building, Cultural Production, and Capacity Building the CGSJ continues to be a hub of gender justice advocacy, education and FUN.

By karolyn givogue

We approach feminisms and gender justice work through an equity approach that recognizes the need to account for and accommodate on the basis of historical and ongoing oppression that most commonly takes form in a lack of access.

Therefore, the CGSJ seeks to prioritize the knowledges, voices, bodies, and needs of Indigenous Women, Women of Colour, Women with disabilities, Trans* folk and others marginalized on the basis of gender and/or sexuality, survivors of sexual violence, and those working in support of all of these communities.

Come check us out at Clubs & Groups day to find out more about how to get involved!

is hiring!

Check the MyTrent Job Board or our website trentarthur.ca for info.

We need people who can edit, people who can take photos, people who can do math (financial math), people who can write, people who are excellent working in a team, people who have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, people who like cats, people who have something unique to offer, and people who are passionate about journalism.

TVAN members have worked alongside other organizations such as the Kawartha World Issues Centre, Newfangled, Peterborough Red Cross, and Active Minds.

One of the club members helped a TCSA executive with Black Month history by designing a portrait. A club member is helping TISA with painting a wooden craft for Cultural Outreach.

For our end of year closure, we had an Art festival. There was a paint it up— three group of five students each working together to paint on a big canvas.

While that was going on, there were eight students, two from each of Trent’s colleges representing them in a painting battle.

There were three rounds. In the first round all the eight participants competed for 30 min.

In the second round the remaining four participants competed under 20 mins, while in the third round, the remaining 2 participants had to draw on a big canvas and had an hour to do it.

The winner of the painting battle was a representative of Lady Eaton College.

You can find photographs on our club group page on Facebook.

Our projects involve doing something for the community. We help artists find time to do what they love, and we provide entertainment using art.

In response to racially motivated hate crimes towards International students at Trent University and Fleming College in the 1980s, the Community and Race Relations Committee of Peterborough (CRRC) emerged as a non-profit, community-based organization with a commitment to promoting positive and equitable race relations in the City of Peterborough.

CRRC supports the basic principle that all individuals in Canada are equal in dignity and rights.

CRRC’s strategies are aimed at identifying and eliminating all forms of institutional and systemic discrimination, with recognition to the ways in which all forms of oppression intersect with racism.

CRRC is available to assist persons or groups on matters relating to racism. CRRC provides advocacy, consultation, capacity building and public education services for the purpose of promoting greater understanding of race related issues.

Students are always welcome to join us, and can get involved as general volunteers, by joining the Board of Directors and/or CRRC committees, and by participating in our community events.

We also offer free workshop and training opportunities to student clubs and groups in the areas of anti-oppression, anti-racism, allyship and much more!

For more information about our services or how to get involved, please contact the CRRC Coordinator at racerelation@gmail.com, by phone at 705-304-4318, or by visiting us in Room 204 at Sadleir House (751 George Street North).

Started as an idea, based on new ideas, then developed as a practice in order to engage a bigger community.

TVAN is a new club that was established in order to bring the Trent and Peterborough community together through arts.

Our vision statement is: To continually support the innovation of Trent and the Peterborough community through Art. Our Mission is to create a living hub for art students and to bring together a bigger and more diverse community for future events.

The slogan is: “Come out, and be the architects of this community.”

Within the club are 5 executives, the President, Vice President (Jessica Vuong), Director of advertisement (Daisy Komujuni), Treasurer (Karishma

Gajudhur), and Animator (Joseph Ugiomioh). Each of their roles played an important contribution to the club operation.

With the team determination TVAN was able to be successful in its first year of operation.

In the 2013-14 academic year TVAN provided weekly art workshops for club members. We also engaged some of our club members in live Art Battles—one in each term.

We were contacted by Art Battle Canada to participate in Art Battle Peterborough. The events were hosted at the Venue with an audience which amounted to 200 each term. One of our members won the battle at the fall 2013 event.

During Afrobana, we had two club members painting the general theme of the performance/event.

Trent Radio is for you Photos by Pat Reddick

By James Kerr

I felt like I was too young to go to university.

Forget what the calender had to say, the idea of leaving the home I knew to live in a staircase shoebox in Champlain College sounded like a pretty dumb idea.

Still, I found myself a student of Trent University and during the first week of school I sat in the Great Hall eating my lunch, worried.

I don’t know what I was worried about, exactly. I was already making all kinds of friends. Even if I had objected I’m sure they still would have been made.

My classes promised to be exciting though beguiling, and in those first few days all I was really trying to do was gain the measure of what people meant when they said ‘University’.

That’s when my friend Ryder came up to me and said: “Hey James, want to do a radio show about Star Trek?”

“What do you mean?” I asked, stunned.

No part of that sentence made any sense to me, except perhaps the part about Star Trek. I like Star Trek.

“I’m putting together a programme proposal to do a radio show at Trent Radio.

The University radio station. 92.7 FM? I want to do it about Star Trek. Do you want to be my co-host?”

I don’t know if it was my upbringing, but my first instinct was not: “that’s neat!” or “wouldn’t that be cool”. Instead, my inner narrative assumed that I just wouldn’t be allowed on the radio.

I’m a student. I’m three days into being a student. I’m not even a particularly good student. They let students control vast and powerful airwaves? Whose dumb idea was that?

And certainly all the cool kids would be doing all the cool stuff and all that I’d be left with would be uncool stuff because I’ve never been cool and this can’t possibly be something for me, even if I were to be interesting in it, which I’m not saying I’m not interesting in it, I may very well be … I don’t know I’ll have to check, but the point is: they couldn’t possibly let me. Could they?

It was a bit of a panic, but a friendly one.

Somehow I filled out the proposal, shut my eyes, and hoped for the best. The proposal was just a who/what/where/ when questionaire. Nothing invasive. Still completely terrifying in that it was a form and involved handwriting.

I avoided radios for days, never really thinking anything would happen. It felt kind of like entering a raffle for a really big quilt, or having voted for an election—you just kind of hope something good comes

convinced. And I stayed convinced until the show was over.

“That went well,” said Ryder, cheerily.

God, I hated him.

Then I think I may have collapsed, it’s hard to tell.

I was very nervous and very freaked out and my own “hey, radio, that’s kind of neat” was entirely drowned out by a selfoppressive notion that it was somehow somebody else’s privilege.

I’m shy. I don’t want to hear myself talk, I don’t have a nice voice. I don’t really want anyone else to listen. What happens if they listen? Other people might find my

“You ready to go?” asked Ryder.

The clock was counting down to gotime. There was a big red light, unlit, but threatened to be lit at the moment the microphones were live. The clock was spinning around in 5, 4, 3, 2 …“Oh, God!” Then, space. The final frontier.

No one will listen to this. I don’t think I can even take myself seriously on this topic. I mean, I like Star Trek. But do I like Star Trek this much? Isn’t this a bit too much? Do I really have enough to talk about? Half-an-hour seems like pretty much forever. I can’t believe they let me do this.

I thought at any moment someone was going to come into the radio booth, grab me by the collar and say: “You’re not supposed to be in here. You’re just a first year, ha, ha, ha! You haven’t even figured out what you’re doing in life yet. How can you be on the radio? I’m sure you understand that we will have to ask you to leave!”

I was sure my fear and doubts and general incompetence would be discovered momentarily, and I’d be yanked out into the street and not know which bus to take home to Symons campus. I was pretty

voice irritating. So, this isn’t for me, right?

(Right?) Turns out I was wrong. In Trent Radio I found a tremendous community of people who fully supported me.

What I didn’t understand was that Trent Radio didn’t particularly care if I was afraid or even if I was an idiot and sweating bullets, yammering my way through my first show in giddy tension. I didn’t really understand what Trent Radio was: a facility owned and operated by the students of Trent University. All students—you.

Even the ones like me who were convinced they couldn’t possibly do it, and that everyone was going to be judgemental and mean.

Instead of the judgement and meanness I was expecting, at Trent Radio I found free coffee, community, and a bunch of people who really supported me doing a weekly radio show on a silly topic that I wasn’t even sure I could take seriously.

“If there’s something you’re passionate about saying,” said Trent Radio to me, “then say it on the air. Even if it’s geeky.”

What a relief.

At Trent’s 50th Anniversary celebrations this summer I said something I thought was

We work towards an annual fashion show event in March to raise money for a charity in our community while showcasing a variety of local talents, from models to makeup, artists to dancers, and more!

Students of all shapes, sizes and abilities are encouraged to audition to model for us (see dates on our website).

from it, but you never expect to see any clear results. I wasn’t expecting—or trying not to accept the feeling that I wanted to hear—anything back.

To make a long story shorter …

I felt like I was too young to be on the radio. Forget what the Programme Director had to say, the idea that I was leaving the dorm room I knew, to sit in a radio booth surrounded by terrifying buttons and dials, with little to no training, sounded like a pretty dumb idea.

Still, I found myself at Trent Radio, headphones in hand, readying to talk about Star Trek.

quite clever, only to hear it independently from many other people that weekend, who I suppose also thought it was quite clever when they thought of it themselves: “I didn’t go to Trent University. I went to Trent Radio.” Of course I attended classes, did all right (only all right), and graduated, but the real learning, my real development, was in a radio booth.

The point of all this is—don’t think you’re the wrong person. Don’t think you are somehow, in some way, not allowed.

If you, in your heart of hearts, think radio is pretty neat, or even just think that you might think that way about it, or might not, well, either way it’s easy to get involved.

You could have your own radio show on something you think is pretty cool: jazz, horses, video games, bird watching, sex, German polka, German polka jazz sex--it doesn’t matter. What matters is you getting the most out of it.

Programme Proposals are available online (at trentradio.ca) and at Trent Radio House, 715 George St. North - the corners of George and Parkhill, just down the street from Sadleir House (your downtown student community centre). They’re both between Trent University and downtown, and very easy to get to on the bus.

To apply to have a show, just hand in the programme proposal on or before Friday September 12 at Noon, at Trent Radio House.

Having trouble filling it out? Want to do something but not getting ideas? Interested but completely scared out of your melonmind? Attend any one of these shiny new Programme Proposal Workshops:

Tuesday September 9

The Peterborough Public Library at 7pm

Wednesday September 10

Sadleir House, 751 George St N at 2pm

Wednesday September 10

Lady Eaton College Room 212 at 7pm

Thursday September 11

You can also visit us Tuesday September 9 at Clubs & Groups Day on Symons Campus.

In the coming year and beyond, if you ever want to get involved, try. In the meantime, listen to Trent Radio 92.7 FM, CFFF in Peterborough. You may just hear yourself.

Trent Film Society: What to expect in 2014-2015

By Steve Snow

Greetings fellow Trent cinephiles! Trent Film Society (TFS), your student-run film appreciation club, has been revamped for the upcoming 2014-2015 academic year.

Established in 1969 as a means to provide students with a free-of-charge outlet for exploring the medium of film, TFS is still going strong and we hope you will join us this year as we explore various genres and films from all over the world.

Instead of having two students operating TFS (as has been the tradition), there are now three TFS co-directors to better serve your cinematic cultural consumption needs. The reason for adding an additional co-director is to ensure that there will be a wider, more diverse film selection so as to appeal to a larger demographic, something all three of us value and believe TFS should maintain.

Pei Hsu and Nathan Prendergast, both fourth-year Trent undergraduates, are the newest additions to the TFS team.

Pei is doing a joint-major in Political and Cultural Studies. She is particularly interested in World Cinema as a form of political expression and is excited to present a series of films on conflicts and humanity in November.

Nathan on the other hand, is at Trent for a joint-major in Philosophy and Cultural Studies. He enjoys all forms of cinema, be it horror or drama, but has a soft spot for comedy. Nathan is interested in the use of film as a medium for storytelling and couldn’t be happier to bring his favourite films to the TFS screen.

As for me, I am in my fourth-year as well, majoring in Cultural Studies. This will be my second year organizing TFS and my goals this year are to play up on special holidays/times of the year (for example, Octo-

ber has a focus on horror cinema thanks to Hallowe’en, remembrance for the fallen in November due to Remembrance Day, and February 2015 will potentially have a dual focus on Black History Month and on love, seeing as Valentine’s Day is that month), as well as collaborating with fellow Trent student clubs and groups by curating co-hosted screenings together.

We believe it will be a fun experiment to explore films in relation to following the Gregorian Calender and the significant cultural practices that we repeat time and time again according to what date it is.

However, this does not mean that we will be sticking to that mentality for the entire school year. To switch things up, TFS has decided to keep the spirit of experimentation alive and host a comedy-themed month in January 2015. We believe that since it is one of the bleakest months of the year (post-holiday festivities; the cold, biting Winter weather) that it will be a nice change of pace and we’d like to do what we can to cheer everyone up from the Winter blues.

We would also like to acknowledge that ReFrame Film Festival will be occurring at the end of January and we will host a couple of our own documentary film screenings to help promote the wonderful festival that happens in Peterborough every winter.

Did I mention we’ll be giving away free passes for ReFrame? (I suppose I just did!)

We’re also interested in continuing to screen more recent pictures at Market Hall at the end of each month, so keep an eye out for what we have in store.

Be sure to check out our Fall 2014 Screening Schedule below to see what’s screening at Trent Film Society this term!

Trent Film Society Presents:

By Pei Hsu

Adapted by Nick Hornby from a memoir of a British journalist, Lone Scherfig’s beguiling film An Education centers on Jenny, a clever 16 year-old high school student played by the talented Carey Mulligan.

Facing the pressure to pass exams and get admitted to Oxford University, she seeks to solve some essential but difficult puzzles in life—what the purpose of getting an education is and how to get the life she always dreams of.

Young Jenny longs for the exotic life and rich culture in France, which is dramatically different from her plain surroundings in 1960s suburban London.

While Jenny puts all her efforts into preparing for exams, she stumbles upon a mysterious, yet charming stranger who shows her a path to bypass all the hard, boring studies while still realizing her dream. However, disillusion soon shatters Jenny’s dream, and eventually she realizes there is no shortcut in life.

As the title suggests, this is a film about education. But education extends beyond

An Education

the formal school system. It also refers to the experience and mistakes in life that one has to learn from in order to grow and mature. In the film, Jenny is not portrayed as a victim of a fraud, but an independent individual who thinks for herself—albeit not always maturely—and who makes decisions that are sometimes wrong.

What is encouraging and inspiring is that after the incident, she can finally decide what her education means for her and if it is truly worth the hard work.

With An Education and Wes Anderson’s Rushmore (1998), which we’re screening September 10 @ Artspace (378 Aylmer Street, we would like to start the new semester with the theme of education as a way to welcome new and returning students.

While An Education deals with the darker subject of dishonest relationships and crime, Rushmore gives a more humorous take on school life and education.

Please join us for a FREE screening of Lone Scherfig’s An Education, Wednesday September 3, at 8 pm in the Otonabee College Lecture Hall (OCA Room 203).

Students and non-students welcome!

Your editor’s local music picks

By Pat Reddick

Welcome to Trent, and welcome to Peterborough.

One of the best things about this community you just became a member of is it’s fantastic local music scene.

This is a shortlist of a few of my favourite local bands.

I would have liked to talk about several more, but given that my co-editor is in one, the chair of our board is in another, and my roommate is in a third, I opted to highlight bands that wouldn’t get me into a conflict of interest situation.

So check out I, The Mountain; Blues in the Bottle; Watershed Hour, and …

The Lonely Parade The Lonely Parade put the indie back into indie rock.

Not only do they have the fun upbeat feel of what music reviewers would describe as “indie” rock, but they also seem to embrace that DIY attitude that “indie” rock so often lacks. My first exposure to the band was through some home-recorded songs they had posted on their bandcamp.

In an interview we conducted with them they played us even more homerecorded demos that had literally been tape-recorded.

When they’re not doing it themselves, they keep it at the community level.

Last year they took part in the Local Youth in Music project hosted by Trent Radio and, through that project, were able to put out their first album.

I haven’t stopped listening to it since it was released.

The songs are all delightfully varied, but if nothing else ties them together it’s their catchiness. I can’t tell you how often their songs get stuck in my head, but it’s more often than not.

It seems I’m not the only one. Their album was the number 1 most downloaded on zunior.com for a while (okay, it’s free, but still).

In addition to this, and more remarkably, The Lonely Parade were named the 2014 Emerging Artist at this year’s Peterborough Folk Festival.

Despite their local superstar status, you can still check them out downtown all the time, usually for an incredibly reasonable price.

Your next opportunity to do so will be September 4 (along with another favourite of mine—Watershed Hour) at the Spill.

Doors open at 9:30. The cost is $5 or pay what you can.

In the mean time, you can listen to our interview with them in full online. You can also download their album Sheer Luxury for free on zunior.com.

hello babies hello babies (no capitals) are hard to explain.

It’s hard to call them experimental because, well, they have a great rebuttal for that.

In an article by Anthony P. Gulston in Volume 47 of Arthur he wrote: “ To describe their music as experimental would suggest that Hello Babies are experimenting on stage, but they do “know exactly what [they’re] going for, and how to achieve it,”

16

www.trentarthur.ca

says Bennett Bedoukian [drummer].”

On stage, hello babies give the appearance that they’re moving around, playing music randomly, but, having seen them about five or six times, I can confirm that everything they do is intentional.

Perhaps the best classification for them would be simply “weird.” But even that fails.

In the article quoted above Wes Grist, the bass player of the band, said “a lot of people have this presupposition that weird is synonymous with bad.”

And if it is, it shouldn’t be in this case.

Many of hello babies’ songs either border on beautiful or are indisputably beautiful. They also incorporate amp feedback, miscellaneous electronic sounds, a theremin, and ... actually I have no idea.

I’ve seen guitarist Dave Grenon make horrible noises with a rewired children’s toy, for example. I believe he incorporates a short-wave radio now as well.

And yet, through it all, you find yourself wanting to dance and sing along. There are (occasionally) beats you can grab on to, or that grab on to you.

Well, sometimes. I’ve also seen these guys clear out a bar after a folk artist’s set.

They might not be for everyone.

I feel like I’ve done nothing to illuminate this band. I actually feel more like I have no idea what this band may be about.

If it helps, I think I can get away with saying they sound somewhat like Xiu Xiu or Deerhoof.

If nothing else, I recommend you take a risk and see them live. Most of the time their show’s proceeds go to support a local charity like the Kawartha Sexual Assault Centre or Niijkiwendidaa Anishnaabekwewag Services Circle, so there’s at least that.

Fire Flower Revue I first came across Fire Flower Revue by checking out the pile of CDs we get sent to review.

We get way too many to ever review, and I’ll be honest, I was just looking for some to take home with me.

I came across a CD case that was almost totally white with a blue picture on it. It turned out to be the aptly titled “white & blue album” by this band.

The album was a great mix of many disparate, often opposite elements.

The songs were clearly electronic, but they were done in such a way that they felt completely organic.

Many tracks contained weird elements, but overall the final product was nothing short of beautiful, lovely-to-listen-to music.

Vocal tracks and were included alongside instrumentals. The instrumental tracks never felt empty, even though they bordered on minimalist.

I nearly fell off my chair when I learned that not only was this music a delight, it was also local!

Unfortunately they don’t play very often in Peterborough.

Shamefully, I’ve never managed to see them.

Look at me go, for all I know they could be terrible live and do little more than play the songs on a Macbook Pro while dancing.

But somehow I doubt that would be the case. The music is too well put together, too carefully orchestrated, for something like that to occur.

Above: hello babies. Below: The Lonely Parade.

Driven to Distraction

By Samantha Moss

Before writing a single word of this article I checked my phone, went on Facebook, made a snack, read an unrelated article (which led to more unrelated articles), scrolled through various social media feeds, and stared blankly out the window for a while.

I have written and rewritten the opening paragraph for this article, as I have done for countless papers, essays, and articles in the past. My inability to focus on a single task makes homework an everyday struggle in university.

I have Attention Deficit Disorder, commonly known as ADD. However, I was not formally diagnosed with ADD until I arrived at Trent in 2012 - a month shy of my 24th birthday.

According to Dr. Mark H. Thomas, a physician at the University of Alabama student health center, the transition to university often leads to a wave of new students being diagnosed with a learning disability who had previously gone undetected. In a New York Times article, he writes how students “may have had symptoms for years but they’ve never been identified because they were smart enough to get by, but in the less-structured college environment, where parents aren’t around to wake them and teachers pay less attention to individual students, these once high-achieving students suffer.”

The transition into university life is difficult for most students, but for individuals with ADD or other learning disabilities, university poses a plethora of academic, medical, and personal challenges.

Author and columnist Tara ParkerPope stated that “college students with ADD are at a greater risk for academic and psychological difficulties, and have lower grade-point averages, than peers without the problem.”

Consequently, it is especially important for new students with a learning disability (or students who suspect they may have an undiagnosed disability) to acquaint themselves with the services Trent has to

offer.

The Student Wellness Centre, located in Blackburn Hall, consists of the Counselling Centre, Health Services, and Student Accessibility Services (SAS). As a student with ADD and an anxiety disorder, the Wellness Centre has been crucial to my success at Trent.

I offer you a breakdown of these departments: Counselling Centre Here, professional counsellors will work with students on an individual basis to help with personal concerns that interfere with academic performance and emotional well-being. Services are offered to students who are struggling with a wide variety of difficulties, such as abuse, addiction, stress or anxiety, difficulties with sleep, depression, loss or grief, motivation, relationships, self-esteem, sexuality, and weight.

Health Services Trent’s own in-house doctor’s office offers services such as mental health assessments, prescription medication, wellness counselling (such as nutrition, weight, smoking cessation, et cetera), and referrals (such as dentists, physiotherapists, massage therapists, and other specialists).

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) Many services are offered through SAS, including academic coaching, student wellness workshops, note-taking services, adaptive and assistive technology (which presents information in a way that makes it more accessible to the user), as well as test/ exam accommodations (which are based on the individual’s ability-related needs).

If you or someone you know is silently struggling or could benefit from the professional support system offered through Trent, I urge you to drop by the Student Wellness Centre or book an appointment online.

As Maté said in his book Scattered Minds, “I can do this with half my brain tied behind my back.”

But you don’t have to.

Maps & Listings

Map of the (Former) Downtown College Region

Editor’s Note: Sorry that this map had to be sideways. I learned roughly 19 hours before this paper had to go to print that it’s a hell of a lot harder to draw maps than I had ever imagined. They’re also annoying to colour digitally. It’s an Arthur tradition to talk about how layout went and I’m happy to do my part keeping it alive.

Anyway, here’s why we included this map. The area it represents is where a lot of off-rez students live. It also features Trent Radio and a cool student/community center called Sadleir House (SH).

SH and all the buildings between it and Trent Radio used to be a college too. It was called Peter Robinson College. You can actually still live there because an alumni of the college bought the buildings and now rents them to students. The group that operates SH is hoping to buy them from her. That orange rectangle down there and mostly green regtangle up here are Traill College, another downtown college. It’s still open, but only graduate students live there. After first year you might have classes at Traill. No one tells you about that for some reason and it can be intimidating to go there for the first time. That said, it’s a beautiful campus and you should check it out. Also, notice the trails. They too are lovely and if you bike you owe it to yourself to try them out!
