Campus police eject USC asked to divest from oil Weldon trespasser Soheil Milani GAZETTE STAFF On Monday night, Campus Police responded to a trespassing at Weldon, after receiving a call at around 8:30 p.m. regarding a person who was causing a disturbance. “We received a call from Weldon for a person refusing to leave,” Jean-Claude Aubin, operational leader for Campus Police, said. “The subject was apprehended without incident, and removed from the building.” While the Weldon administration declined to comment and staff told The Gazette they were instructed to not speak about the incident, bystanders gave their version of the events in question. “He had a pen in his mouth,” said one bystander, who wished to remain anonymous. “He was biting down on a pen and looked distressed.” According to the bystanders, the subject was allegedly running around the library screaming as Weldon security attempted to corner him. “I was coming up from the basement and I heard yelling. There was a big commotion upstairs,” said one anonymous bystander. “He ran around one security guard and then he was tackled to the ground by campus police. They cuffed him and pulled out a Miranda card and read it to him.” “I heard the beepers at the main door go off,” said another bystander. “Then I heard ‘get down.’ He looked drunk.” Aubin said the subject was behaving in an odd manner, and campus police felt the need to bring him under control. Aubin said no arrests were made and no charges were laid, since violating the Trespassing Act is not a crime, but results in

a fine that is on average $60. The police have the power to arrest and remove a trespasser, but the arrest will not result in a criminal record. Campus police could not comment on the subject’s sobriety or whether a theft was in progress. The subject’s mental health and state of mind could not be discussed either. Bystanders said the subject looked like a student, but campus police told The Gazette that he did not go to Western.

The University Students’ Council is being asked to support oil divestment after the head of Enviro Western, Stuart Ruffolo, submitted a discussion paper known as a “Purple Paper” to the USC executive. “Divestment is the deliberate removal of financial investments from corporations that contribute to climate change as a way of diminishing their financial power,” the paper reads. Western currently has tens of millions of dollars invested in the fossil fuel industry, according to the paper. Ruffolo’s paper argued that “It is inconsistent with the reasons [universities] exist for them to continue to invest in something that is dedicated to the destruction of civilization.” At the same time, he wrote, Western has invested negligible amounts in sustainable energy forms, which the paper argues can be more profitable than volatile oil holdings. The divestment paper calls on the USC to make a statement of

principle affirming their intention to divest from fossil fuel companies, to immediately stop investing new money in the fossil fuel industry, and to spend the next five years winding down existing fossil fuel holdings. The paper will be read at a standing committee, and from there the committee will recommend or will not recommend that the policy paper be brought to council. Ruffolo said he submitted the paper yesterday so that it may become a point of discussion in this year’s USC presidential elections. However, neither candidate seemed keen to adopt the divestment stance. “I wouldn’t say it’s an issue that I know enough about to take a hard stance on,” Brian Belman, USC presidential candidate, said. “I think [divestment] is in its nascent stages right now, so I don’t think that we ought to take a stand on it,” Matt Helfand, the other presidential candidate, said. However, Helfand agreed that the USC should be more aware of the ways in which its holdings and investments may contradict some of

its stances as an organization. He went on to say there were other environmental initiatives he would prioritize, such as making Western a Fair Trade campus. Pat Whelan, the current USC president, didn’t think divestment was a core to the undergrad experience. “If we’re going to ask Western to do one thing, this shouldn’t be at the top of the list,” Whelan said. However, Ruffolo countered that it’s irresponsible to not call something as serious as the environment and climate change a pressing issue. “As a university, as the leaders of tomorrow, as an institution that’s dedicated to serving the public good, I think we have a moral responsibility to do something that is going to contribute to a positive future and the sustainability of the planet,” Ruffolo said. Rolling Stone has called divestment the largest student movement in decades, and this Purple Paper follows a unanimous decision by the Dalhousie Student Union in November calling for their administration divest from the fossil fuel industry within four years.

Candidates meet again for second debate On Tuesday night, the USC council chambers were filled with Science, Social Science and Health Science students who wanted to raise their concerns to the presidential slates at the Tri-Sci debate. After introductory statements from Team Helfand and Team Belman — both reiterating their board campaign taglines — the

questions began and attendants grilled candidates on their platforms and performances so far. Though a few initial questions were redundant after last Wednesday’s first debate — with vice-president external candidates Jen Carter and Steven Wright once again being asked about their relationship with the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance — both slates were eventually given the chance to poke holes in their opponents’ promises, specifically the smaller ones. Belman questioned Helfand’s fee freeze, wondering how a tightened budget will allow for Team Helfand’s other goals like more microwaves across campus. Similarly, Helfand raised questions about Belman’s idea to put games like “Cards Against Humanity” in the Spoke — concerned about prolonging stays in the already crowded space and the game’s insensitive nature. Not every question, however, addressed the little issues. Belman’s continuous emphasis on the experience of his slate was scrutinized as he was asked what exactly makes Team Belman’s vice-presidential candidates more qualified than affiliate presidents Carter and Addison on Team Helfand. Team Belman’s wiki idea was also attacked by Helfand, who argued that because wikis are inherently crowd-sourced, they therefore can’t just be created by the USC executive. Overall, the Tuesday night’s debate was a good warm-up for further debates, allowing candidates to practice articulating their ideas and visions. The candidates will meet again this afternoon at 3 p.m. in the Mustang Lounge for the media forum, a debate that will be hosted jointly by The Gazette, CHRW and Big Purple Couch. — Kevin Hurren

Federal student group draws criticism Richard Raycraft NEWS EDITOR The Canadian Alliance of Student Associations has drawn criticism from the Dalhousie Student Union, leading to speculations that the DSU may withdraw membership from the federal advocacy group. Western’s own University Students’ Council will be publicly presenting its review of CASA membership, which comes after calls for reform in the organization from the USC. CASA is a national advocacy group for students across Canada, according to its website. It advocates on behalf of students on a federal level to the federal government, and also to inter-provincial bodies. It currently has a membership of 24 student organizations across Canada, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. According to an article published last week in the Dalhousie Gazette, the student newspaper at the Halifax university, debate is ongoing as to whether the DSU should continue its membership in CASA. A week prior, Jonathan Champagne, CASA’s national director, and Michael Macdonald, manager of stakeholder relations, made a presentation to the DSU highlighting the benefits of membership. Though representatives from the DSU could not be reached for comment, the article mentions concerns ranging from a lack of student awareness and campus presence of CASA, and high annual fee dues to CASA — currently at $44,000 annually. In addition, the article mentioned a concern of a representative of DalOUT, Dalhousie’s LGBTQ student

society, that CASA does not support certain LGBTQ aims in terms of federal advocacy. “We let individual member associations decide how they want to brand us on campus — it’s up to them,” Champagne said in response to the campus presence and student awareness criticisms. He added that CASA would increase its on-campus presence if specifically requested. Amir Eftekarpour, vice-president external at the USC, confirmed that the USC had conducted a review of CASA membership this year. “The USC has expressed some concerns to the provincial and federal affairs standing committee about some of CASA’s practices,” he said. “The USC is reviewing this year, and we’ve been working all year to try and bring some reform to CASA.” “We just completed our review, and we will be presenting it publicly to the provincial and federal affairs standing committee on Thursday night,” he continued. Currently, the USC pays $1.64 per student to CASA, according to the 2013 budget. According to Eftekarpour, the

USC’s review of CASA involved writing a letter to the CASA board expressing concerns, as well as meeting with the CASA board and staff throughout the year. “It’s always good that students review their membership in the organization,” he commented. “Membership is part of the debate [student groups] should have,” Champagne agreed. The results of the USC review will be revealed at the federal and provincial affairs standing committee this Thursday.

Valentines store in UCC Post-grad student opens new pop-up store Iain Boekhoff NEWS EDITOR The Planting Seeds Valentine’s Marketplace is the newest resident of the BizInc space in the basement of the University Community Centre. Kyle Hutcheson, a 24-yearold post-graduate student in Occupational Health and Safety Management, set up the retail storefront as a way to introduce local companies’ products to the Western community. The Planting Seeds retail storefront is an extension of the landscaping business Hutcheson started in the summer. Hutcheson’s company focuses on social projects and on helping improve the environment and the community.

The retail location offers locally produced goods, such as free trade chocolate, fire roasted coffee beans, soaps and handmade scarves made by Hutcheson and his mother. Next week, all natural health food products will also be offered. The store provides an avenue for other businesses to get their products out. “Pretty much we’re trying to gather local businesses or businesses that use locally made products or locally grown products and we sell them,” Hutcheson said. “So all we have is high-quality products, everything from teas to chocolates, handmade soaps, beer soaps, soy candles, locally grown and made cosmetic products.” Hutcheson added that students will also be able to order flowers in time for Valentine’s Day.

Hutcheson has focused his efforts at giving smaller businesses that have quality niche products exposure. “We’ve really chosen companies that are health oriented — actually understand their products and actually understand what the customers want. And personally, these products are so unique in their own way, not many stores have things like this,” Hutcheson said. Programming is also offered by Planting Seeds, including a presentation from a local cosmetician. Hutcheson has also made presentations at several conferences on social causes. There will also be a chocolate tasting next week. The new storefront will be in operation until Valentine’s Day.

Huron offers deep (sea) performances Mackenzie Morrison GAZETTE STAFF On February 6, 7 and 8, Huron University College will present Seascape, an award-winning play by Edward Albee that promises to bring comedy, fantasy and satire to the stage. The play is produced by John-Daniel Steele and directed by David Conter, a professor of philosophy at Huron. Starring Rachel Harris, Matt Stefan, Peter Bentham and Sarah Seachrist, the play will explore a great deal of themes such as relationships, communication and the hopelessness of human emotions. Albee’s play is the winner of the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for drama, and Conter says the Huron production is mostly kept to its original script. “We only made very slight wording changes from the original play,” Conter says. “It was a Pulitzer Prize-winner and we didn’t want to fool around with it. Albee is one of the most honoured American

playwrights of the second half of the 20th century, so we felt we better let it stand the way it was.” In the play, two characters, Nancy and Charlie, are a couple in the midst of relationship issues and on the verge of a mid-life crisis. The play begins with the couple having a picnic and discussing matters on the beach when they come across two human-sized lizards, Leslie and Sarah, who speak and act like real people. Wanting new life, the lizards venture to live on land, but what they experience may drive them back to the sea forever. The production of Seascape is particularity notable for Huron because it marks the first time students will receive an academic credit and a course grade for their performance. “Although this is a course for them, the students still had to audition to get in the play,” Conter says. “We had quite a number of auditions. It must have been somewhere between 20 to 25 people, but only

four actual actors were selected for the roles.” For the past few weeks, students had an intensive schedule of rehearsing four or five times every week. Apart from Conter’s directing, the theatrical project has been completely student-run. By providing the students with the opportunity to mount and perform a play, the English department, being the official sponsor of the play, hopes to allow for both practical and theoretical learning. “At Huron we’ve mostly done sketch comedy pretty quick and simple. A full-length play is a different thing, as it requires a lot more commitment on the part of students and a lot more work,” Conter says. “It’s of real interest. No doubt about it, and we hope because there was interest that we’ll do this again.” Seascape will run from February 6-8 at Huron University College at 8:00 p.m. in room V214. Tickets are available at the door or from Huron’s Information Desk for $8.

My Fair Lady (1964) While Audrey Hepburn is a definite fashion icon and is recognized even after her death as one of the most beautiful women of all time, her role in My Fair Lady shows a different side of her. Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) is an arrogant teacher of elocution who believes that he could teach any woman to speak like a duchess. After taking on a bet with colonel Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White), Higgins begins providing Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn), a flower seller with a strong Cockney accent, with speech lessons. Through the process of his teachings, Higgins becomes accustomed to Doolittle’s face and they begin to care for

one another. By the end of the film, Higgins is able to successfully teach Doolittle to speak like a duchess while Doolittle is able to soften Higgins’ heart and alleviate his stubborn character. Hepburn’s transformation from a poor girl living in the slums to a woman resembling a duchess shows her versatility as an actress. While the transformation is drastic, Hepburn is able to make the change seem probable. Harrison’s character’s ability to soften by the end of the film was fairly heart-warming. However, his snobbish characteristics at the beginning of the musical were not very likeable. The most memorable musical number of the film has to be “The Rain in Spain,” the plot-changing

song in the film. This critical song shows Doolittle finally understanding how to speak with a proper English accent while simultaneously breaking her Cockney accent. This key lyric of the song is the phrase “The Rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.” While this musical film adaptation runs three hours long, it’s extremely entertaining to watch and continues to be entertaining for the entirety of the movie. The musical elements of the film are catchy and memorable while the comedic elements of the film are appropriate and funny. The impeccable cast and the classical storyline makes My Fair Lady one of Hollywood’s most marvelous musical experiences. — Janice Fung

A lot has happened in the four years since Against Me! released their highly successful album, White Crosses. In 2010, the band cancelled their tour of Australia and New Zealand and concluded their relationship with their (major) label, Sire Records. 2011 saw talk of a new album cut short following the exit of recently hired drummer George Rebelo. That same year they started their own record label, Total Treble Music. Despite this, rumors began to circulate. With fans speculating about the band’s future, lead singer Tom Gabel publicly revealed her struggles with transgender dysphoria, outing herself as a transgender woman, and changing her name to Laura Jane Crace. Her decision received much support in the musical community, casting Grace and company into the limelight. Behind closed doors, however, the band was struggling. Their sixth album’s recording process proved to be extremely arduous. With the situation becoming increasingly Chinese Democracy– esque, Grace discussed the possibility that this LP would be Against Me!’s last. As far as swan songs go this one is pretty good. Transgender Dysphoria Blues provides a firsthand account into the life of

transgender individuals. Lyrically, the album is somewhat of a powerhouse, with Grace showing a renewed sense of purpose and honesty. Despite its compelling subject matter, however, musically the album is fairly meat and potatoes. That said, it contains moments of brilliance that prove to be some of the band’s best work. The opening title track serves as a thematic introduction to the record, interweaving the band’s folk-punk roots with their more recent arenarock ambition. With overly simple, distorted chords Grace confronts the listener, singing “You’ve got no cunt in your strut, you’ve got no hips to shake.” While Grace appears to be addressing herself, the feelings of difference and alienation she captures are universal. In fact, much of this album’s strength comes from Grace’s ability to communicate feelings through setting and story. Nowhere is this more obvious than “Paralytic States,” which details the life and ensuing suicide of a transgender woman. While this album benefits from Grace’s strong song writing, it suffers from her inexperience as a producer/engineer. As well, the album often lacks dynamic range, almost always opting to turn up from 10 to 11 rather than decelerate. Balance is achieved in the closing track, “Black Me Out.” The song’s soft-loud-soft dynamics are reminiscent of Nirvana’s “All Apologies.” Like that song, the track provides Transgender Dysphoria Blues with a definite sense of closure. As Grace croons, “All the young graves filled, don’t the best all burn out, so bright and so fast,” all labels are cast aside. What remains is a human being, in all her vulnerability and strength. While it is unlikely that Grace will release another Against Me! album, “Black Me Out” appropriately concludes the band’s career. Not with a period, but an exclamation mark. — Ethan Sawyer

Conrad Floryan GAZETTE STAFF GFFFF That Awkward Moment Directed by: Tom Gormican Starring: Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Imogen Poots You see that one-star rating? That Awkward Moment earns it by achieving an impressive feat: Making 94 minutes feel like an entire weekend with the in-laws. The film is constructed as a date movie for Valentine’s Day that skews more toward the male side of relationships. It’s a vehicle for teenaged couple escapism. The trappings of a “Sex in the City for guys” are all present: Attractive male leads with attractive lady friends, stylish clothes, dream jobs, a perfect apartment in hip New York City. But that’s it; there is little beneath the glossy surface. In fact, the surface could use some extra polishing because the movie is composed with almost no artistic effort. The opening of a movie is crucial and requires careful preparation. This drivel begins with stock helicopter shots of New York City

with a sunrise thrown in because apparently dawn is beautiful. The plot is just as by-the-book as the direction. When Mikey’s (Michael B. Jordan) wife wants a divorce, his pals Jason (Zac Efron) and Daniel (Miles Teller) make a pact to stay single with him. Surprise: They all end up falling in love! There are hundreds of movies based on the cliché of commitmentphobic guys falling into relationships, and almost all of them fail. This one manages to commit to a contrived scenario while simultaneously feeling disjointed. Zac Efron is deliberately distancing himself from the sterile teen heartthrob image he cultivated in his High School Musical days. Here he is awkwardly crass, dropping f-bombs that never hit the target. His past work does not preclude him from progressing into more diverse fare per se. Look at Justin Timberlake, who’s established himself as a fantastic actor (The Social Network, Alpha Dog); N’Sync notwithstanding. Unfortunately, Efron doesn’t seem to have the chops to pull off even a limited emotional range. He is irritatingly bland. His performance is the epitome of the

vacuous quality of Hollywood. Miles Teller is consistently funny but he’s bogged down by the material. Michael B. Jordan delivers his character with a tact that makes you hope he did this movie for a sizeable paycheck. Jason’s girlfriend Ellie (Imogen Poots) is a stock character, but Poots’ saucer-eyed charisma shines through the smoggy script and she could soon be a leading lady. Spoiler alert: Ellie’s dad dies, out of nowhere, for no reason. Initially it seems like it might be a prank — thanks largely to Efron’s confused response — but it quickly sets in just how lowbrow of a film this really is. It’s an insultingly lazy attempt at storytelling. The film was on life-support from the get-go, and when Ellie’s dad dies he takes the movie with him. Hopefully he doesn’t join the film in Hell because he seems like a nice guy. For the record, the reviewer who wrote this critique walked out of the theatre about half an hour before the movie was finished; God bless Wikipedia. Actually, the Wikipedia article for the film was disappointingly uninformative; it suits the film perfectly.

The evolution of animation in a 3D world

MANY OTHER EXCITING

Miszczak Your Privilege Chris Miszczak ILLUSTRATIONS EDITOR I am a pretty big fan of animation. Even before I learned to walk I was holding a pencil and doodling, so when first looking at colleges I was seriously considering going into animation. To this day I am still making silly drawings practically every day, but debate has been rising in the animation community. The conflict lies in the change from 2D animation to 3D animation. Each large blockbuster movie that has come out in the last few years has brought in more dollars than their traditional animated counterparts. The only exception

would be Japanese filmmaker Miyazaki, but truth be told he is on a level of his own. The majority of traditional artists, however, are complaining about the change to 3D, pining for the golden years of Disney films. In the beginning, 3D animation was used experimentally to create larger than life atmospheres. Somewhere along the way movies animated with 3D technology became the norm and socially associated with children’s films. As such, some would argue that the industry is no longer creating 2D films and instead creating the more profitable 3D films, meaning that 2D animation is a dying art. In this case, I would argue it isn’t. The methods we use to create 3D animated films are the same that we use to create the 2D variety. The largest difference is the fact that when we bring our drawings onto the computer, we no

longer use the computer primarily for colouring, shading and frame rendering. Instead, we include new elements and dimensions to create worlds that are much more immersive and textures which more realistic than usual. Even though we are no longer creating many 2D animated films, we are still using the same tools, methods and techniques to make 3D animated film. It is still up to the artist to decide how “fluid” he or she wants the art to be — regardless of dimension. Ultimately, artists should continue drawing and creating, worrying less about a supposedly dying art. In fact, it’s encouraged that artists and animators create 2D work in order to better understand the technique of 3D animation. This kind of animation is not dying, but rather changing and evolving as art.

Opinions HAVE YOUR SAY

We asked students if the USC should be investing in oil companies.

Political Science IV “It’s a tough one. I mean if they are going to not invest on the basis of ethical considerations, they should not invest in any company that would be considered impure by students. That could extend the net pretty widely. I guess in the end they should pursue maximum revenue.”

Katie Merriman

Social Science I “If we don’t invest, someone else will invest anyway, so it’s not like we’re actually making a difference if we don’t invest. But if we don’t invest, we’re missing out. So I guess there’s no harm in investing.”

Olivia Single

Green Process Engineering III ”I don’t think the USC should invest in oil companies because my future depends on the progression of renewable energies.”

Darwin D’Souza

Science IV “It’s an interesting strategy. Oil companies are so volatile. I won’t say it’s bad. Hopefully it pays off.”

Why Russia needs the Olympic games Get out of my Laine

Jeremy Roberts

Anyone who doesn’t regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart. Anyone who wants it restored has no brains.

Mike Laine GRAPHICS/VIDEO EDITOR As a Canadian and a Finn, I have a natural dislike of Russia in the world of sports. Ever since the Summit Series of 1972, we as Canadians realized that we were no longer standing alone on the world hockey stage. The USSR would go on to best Canadians in many other international events and prove to be a real threat to our hockey and winter sport dominance. However, the upcoming Winter Olympics take on a different tone for me. These Olympics are a beacon of hope for the struggling Russian people and an escape from the hands of Vladimir Putin’s Orwellian presidency. Though the Russian Federation has a lot of problems, its people are not one of them. These are loyal citizens, many of them former Soviet nationals who still struggle to find their identity after the collapse of their union in 1991. The birth of a new Russia was promised after attempts to re-formalize their market strategies and economy, moving into the hyper-capitalist Western world. Yet, there has been no “new Russia” to speak of in these last two decades, and Russia is still struggling to find itself on the world stage. With a declining population and a stagnant birth rate, the Federation cannot afford a loss at these Olympics. They desperately need a win. A gold in hockey, a terrorist-free athletes’ village, anything to give the people of Russia just a glimmer of hope that the largest

geographic country in the world is still kicking and its quasi-fascist policies are on the way out. Within all the controversy, the winter Olympics represents a way out, an escape for those who haven’t been able to discover their real identity ever since the wall collapsed and the curtain fell in 1991. These people were once proud Soviets with something to stand for, with an ideology to unite them. Now, there is little to unite these citizens, creating a breeding ground for extremism and terrorism across the country. The Russian Federation as well as its predecessor, the USSR, has always been one of the most ethnically diverse nations on Earth. Forbes’ most powerful man in the world, president Vladimir Putin, has been creating his own kind of winter games in his cabinet and in the media with his unfortunate anti-gay stance and his insistence that Russia revolves around him. Putin’s missteps have caused these games to be seen in an extremely negative light and again, the athletes are left out in the cold. In the end, the Olympics are a theatre for sports, not for politics. They serve as an opportunity for each country to display the best of what they have to offer and allow countries such as Russia an escape from the harsh reality of the postcommunist state. A “win” for Russia is a win for their people, and it gives them something to be proud of when the games are over and they are pushed back to the reality of Russian life in 2014. The events of Orwell’s Animal Farm seem to occur daily in Russia’s history, and each revolution or turnover leads to more cynical and authoritative leadership. Let us hope that these games will serve as the light at the end of the tunnel, and just maybe, the world will expose the truth that in Putin’s Russia, some athletes are more equal than others.

away from those people that have been acclaimed, but shouldn’t the same practices that get used to ensure that the correct vice-president gets chosen for councils be used for the presidents themselves as well as councillors? The excuse of voter apathy is not valid in this case in my eyes because if a student is going on to vote for seven candidates out of a possible 16 (for the science councillor election for example), clicking a box that says ‘yes’ or ‘no’ for their confidence in the president would likely be the easiest choice on the page. Why are we giving students the choice of councillor, but not giving them a chance to have a say in who their council president is just because there is no one running against them?

By the precedent that the USC has set, this means that if a USC presidential slate runs one year unopposed, they would automatically be acclaimed. Thus, the most influential positions on the USC would just be handed over without any student input or affirmation that they are actually going to do any good with their positions. If the USC wants to be more transparent to students and make them feel like they have more input, how about starting small and showing students that they actually care about their opinions instead of just handing over a position without any scrutiny? — Emily Rodrigues Science IV

Mustangs secure second straight win Western defeats Waterloo Warriors in overtime thriller Aaron Fisch CONTRIBUTOR The Western Mustangs men’s basketball team won a tough game on Saturday night, beating the Waterloo Warriors in an overtime thriller 77–74. The Mustangs, down three points with six seconds left in the fourth quarter, tied the game with a threepointer from Western’s starting guard, Eric McDonald, which forced another five minutes of play. With eight seconds left in overtime McDonald made another clutch three-pointer to put the Mustangs up one point. Peter Scholtes, Mustangs’ fifth-year forward, was then fouled and made both of his free throws to secure the victory. In the overtime period, the Mustangs outscored Waterloo Jonathan Dunn GAZETTE

I knew our team needed me to knock them down and anytime there’s an end of game shot I want the ball in my hands. I was happy that the coach drew up a play to get me the ball for them to foul me. — Peter Scholtes

Mustangs’ Forward

13–10. “I knew our team needed me to knock them down and anytime there’s an end of game shot I want the ball in my hands,” Scholtes said. “I was happy that the coach drew up a play to get me the ball for them to foul me.” Waterloo only shot 36.5 per cent from the floor in the game, while Western connected on 45.8 per cent of their shots. Even with this

FLOATER! Western Mustangs’ forward Greg Morrow guiding the ball into the Basket. Morrow was 10-for-15 in Saturday’s overtime win over the Waterloo Warriors for a team-leading 20 points and 10 rebounds to complete his double-double. The Mustangs’ forward is tied for eighth in Ontario University Athletics with 304 points, and has the highest field goal percentage out of any player in the top 10 in scoring.

disparity Waterloo secured a threepoint lead after three quarters. The Mustangs then rallied in the fourth to force overtime, and eventually win the game. This exciting victory was a total team effort with every player on the eight-man Mustang roster recording at least a point. “Our team is starting to play with an identity,” Scholtes said. “Before every game we know how we want to play. We’re forcing teams to take us seriously and scout us instead of us having to scout them.” “We’re making [them] play our style of basketball instead of the other way around,” Scholtes said. However, Mustangs’ forwards, Greg Morrow, Peter Scholtes and Eric McDonald led the charge, combining for 54 of the 77 points scored by the Western squad. Morrow also had

10 rebounds while Scholtes grabbed 11, as each player contributed with a double-double, respectively. “[Morrow] has been playing fantastic for us. We kind of know every game coming in that he’s going to have to put up some big numbers for us to win and he’s been doing a great job with that,” Scholtes said. The Mustangs have now won two consecutive games, moving to an 8–10 record on the season. The team now sits in third place in a weak Ontario University Athletics West division five games back of the second-place Windsor Lancers. Western will now look to extend their winning streak to three games and move closer to the .500 mark on the season. The Mustangs will face a tough Windsor team on the road tonight at 8 p.m.

Mustangs rally back to defeat Lancers Western wins in shootout after late third-period goal Daniel Weryha SPORTS EDITOR With a late third-period goal to tie the game, the Western Mustangs women’s hockey team forced overtime and eventually defeated the Windsor Lancers 4–3 in a shootout on Sunday. The Mustangs trailed 3–2 in the dying seconds of the third period, but the undisciplined Lancers took their ninth minor penalty of the game to give their opponents the man advantage — and Western capitalized. “Our strength and conditioning is just off the charts. I think out of 22 games we’ve played this year, I think we’ve won the third period 18 times — we just seem to play our best in

the third,” Chris Higgins, Western Mustangs’ head coach, said. With help from forward Carly Rolph and defenceman Tara Cation, Brianna Lazzolino, the Mustangs second-year defenceman, buried her second of the game to tie the game at three. With Stacey Scott out due to injury and Sidney Kidd out due to suspension, the Mustangs relied on a variety of scorers. Lazzolino’s finisher was her second power play goal of the game and the fourth point scored by a Mustangs defenceman. While Western walked away with the two points, they struggled to keep the puck out of their zone. Kelly Campbell, Western’s thirdyear goaltender out of St. Thomas,

Ontario, faced 39 shots in her win. Campbell is now 8–7 on the season, with a season goals against average of 1.98, and continues to carry the Mustangs with her standout play. The Lancers dominated the first period as they tremendously outshot the Mustangs 16–3, but were only able to put up a single goal scored by Windsor’s fourth-year forward Jenny MacKnight, who netted her 14th of the season. “All season long we have been very slow starting. Our first periods are by far our worst, and that was just a typical first period for us — just mishandling the puck and not getting it out,” Higgins said. Western left the first period >> see MUSTANGS pg.8

relatively unscathed and responded with a strong second period performance, exchanging a pair of goals with the Lancers and out-shooting them 13–9. Despite the five minor penalties taken by the Lancers in the second period, the Mustangs only capitalized on one of them. Lazzolino netted her first power play goal of the game to even things up at one on a D-to-D pass from Cation who picked up her first assist of the game. The 4–3 victory over the Windsor Lancers moves the Mustangs one game ahead of them in sixth place.

The Mustangs are now tied for points with the University of Toronto Varsity Blues for fifth but sit behind them in the standings due to their loss to the Varsity Blues on Saturday. Western will now play backto-back games over the weekend to close out the season. Their first game of the weekend will be against a second-place Laurier Golden Hawks team that has only lost one game all season — to the Mustangs in Waterloo. The team will look to complete the season sweep over the Golden Hawks at Thompson Arena on Saturday, February 8, with puckdrop at 4 p.m.
