USC clubs joining U Man fight club shut down
forces for Haiti
By Abid-Aziz Ladhani
Gazette Staff
In the wake of one of the most
destructive earthquakes in Haitian
history, students and community
groups at Western and across Cana-
da are mobilizing to aid in the relief
effort.
At a meeting hosted by the Uni-
versity Students’ Council yesterday,
club executive members met to dis-
cuss how they could work together
for a campus-wide relief effort.
“The USC is looking to the club
system to get something going
rather than to have an effort run
purely by the USC,” Marc Foster,
USC clubs co-ordinator, said.
The meeting concluded with an
agreement that all clubs would par-
ticipate in a so-called single cam-
paign for Haiti through their own
independent efforts.
However, club executives were
still divided about which club
should collect the donations, since
the federal government will match
funds raised by certain charities,
like Doctors Without Borders.
“[The club executives] had their

Arcaro also said club executives
will be meeting again this Friday to
discuss more details about their
campaigns.
Mike Laing-Fraser, vice-presi-
dent of marketing for Doctors With-

like this are considered humanitar-
ian relief and money raised by the
club will go to maintaining relief
efforts on the ground.
Laing-Fraser added that despite
the urgent situation in Haiti, the
club will not give more priority to
one cause over another and will not
change its normal programming.
“Essentially what we are trying
to do is launch a UWO-wide cam-
paign to get all clubs and students

London goes for green
The City of London gave the green
bin project the go ahead at a meet-
ing on Monday.
Green bins are used in several
parts of Ontario to divert organic
waste, like kitchen garbage, from
landfills into recycling plants. The
project was moved to budget meet-
ings where it still faces stiff compe-
tition from other projects before the
money is allocated for the $100,000
pilot project.
But London Controller Gord
Hume said the project is already in
the bag.
“My assumption is it will be
approved, the issue is where we’ll
get the money from,” Hume said.
“We’ve got three choices: raise
taxes, cut something else, or we try
to find savings and new sources of
income.”
Cheryl Miller, London council-
lor for Ward 14, was against the pro-
ject and said it put undue responsi-
bility on the City to compost house-
hold waste.
“Instead of putting [compost]
into your flowers in the spring,
we’re going to have to buy trucks
that are fueled by fossil fuels, drive
around the streets and pick up peo-
ples’ waste,” she said.
Miller is an active composter
and said other citizens should take
up the habit to avoid footing the bill
for a city-wide compost program.
“I don’t disagree with that,”
Hume responded. “My neighbour
and I share a compost. But a lot of
people don’t. They don’t own prop-
erty or they live in high-rises.”
Hume said the pilot project, if
approved, would get reviewed by
Council again in 2011.

Canadian males 20 lbs
heavier than 1981 average
By Meagan Kashty
Gazette Staff
Obesity awareness is growing — as
are Canadian waistlines.
The fitness level of Canadian
children, youth and adults have sig-
nificantly declined since 1981
according to findings from the
Canadian Health Measures Survey.
The survey was preformed by Sta-
tistics Canada and, according to
their reports, it is the most compre-
hensive national survey ever con-
ducted in Canada to determine fit-
ness levels.
Using a staff of trained health
professionals, individuals were
measured based on a number of
factors including weight, strength,
flexibility, blood pressure, lung
function and oral health. The
results showed the fitness levels of
adults, particularly younger adults,
have dropped drastically.
Heather Thomas, public health
dietitian with the Middlesex Lon-
don Health Unit, was not surprised
at Canada’s health decline.
“Things are certainly flagged to
our attention when there are sur-
veys of this nature,” Thomas said.
“We need this baseline data to sup-
port our future strategies.”
Thomas works to plan and
implement community based
strategies, with a focus on obesity
prevention. She noted in the long
run, obesity prevention and fitness
awareness come down to inade-
quate funding.

young males in a bar are very con-

Emmanuel Rovithis, a third-year
kinesiology student who also trains
in mixed martial arts, found under-
ground groups like U of M’s to be
frustrating.
“All gyms I go to try to emphasize
honour and respect,” he said. “Peo-
ple who engage in this and then go
to a formal gym or dojo with the
same mentality will get kicked out.”
Rovithis argued those who
receive MMA training are less likely
to find underground fighting
appealing.
“You get to a certain point and
you’ve got nothing to prove any-
more,” he said.

Gaming gets geekier
By Mike Hayes
Gazette Staff
Though the Internet has now
grown to encompass every imagin-
able interest (including some best
left unmentioned), it has always
remained the epicentre of all things
geeky. And though there has been a
groundswell in mainstream sup-
port, there is still nothing geekier on
the planet than video games.
So it is of course online where
we find the cantankerous rants of
Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw, one of
online publication The Escapist’s
in-house video game reviewers.
Since the magazine hired Croshaw,
the segment, “Zero Punctuation,”
has grown to become one of the
biggest draws to the website.
Lasting a mere five minutes, the
weekly reviews recall popular viral
flash videos from the Internet’s
Corey Stanford/Gazette infancy, with eBaum’s World’s “The

uality within the Western bubble. inspiration. Following an introduc-
tory musical segment the videos
feature sparse amounts of anima-
tion on a yellow background with
Croshaw’s ability to articulate him-
self and create similes and
metaphors that are both obscene
and hilarious.
Though the misanthropic
review style likely appeals to the
vast majority of Zero Punctuation’s
audience, there are many who will
likely be offended by some of the
terms he uses.
Often profane, seldom political-
ly correct, the reviews are notorious
for avoiding elements of praise.
Though Croshaw will occasionally
throw the object of his review a com-
pliment or two, the majority of his
video reviews are negative, with only
a handful of games being deemed
“adequate.” In outside interviews,
Croshaw has acknowledged much
of his audience enjoys his reviews
more when they are critical.
But perhaps the most interest-
ing thing about Zero Punctuation is
the remarkable rise to power expe-
rienced by its creator. Though
Croshaw’s work is now seen in mul-
tiple gaming magazines, his start
came from posting videos on
YouTube.
It is best to recognize Zero Punc-
tuation as having a real niche
appeal. If you’re the type of person
who has an irreverent sense of

Susie, the other being Susie’s in-
between world, which is the place
Susie goes before heaven while her
family searches for closure. The use
of visual effects depicts the divide
between reality and the in-
between world to enhance the film.
Reality is depicted as dark and
grimy while limbo is bright and
wonderful.
Adapting a bestselling book to
film is a risky feat many directors
fail to do well, but Jackson pulled it
off seamlessly.
The combination of an intrigu-
ing storyline, amazing acting and
unique visual affects makes The
Lovely Bones a must-see film.

“Careless” team to regroup
CONTINUED FROM P8
extend their lead to 49-32 at halftime.
However, in the second half, the
young Badgers were able to change
the tempo of the game with their
tenacious press defence. Western
started to commit several turnovers
and began to rush their offence,
forcing up bad shots.
According to Murray, the tempo
shift gave the Badgers much need-
ed confidence.
“I decided we were going to get
after them a bit more with the press
and I think that was the difference
in the game,” he said. “We took con-
trol of the game and all of a sudden
these kids get some confidence.
When a young team gets confi-
dence they get really scary.”

theGazette • THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 2010
The Mustangs definitely had a
scary final quarter, allowing Brock
to score 20 consecutive points,
overcoming a 17-point gap. The
Badgers held Western scoreless for
over five minutes by effectively
shutting down Wedemire.
“They worked hard denying me
the ball, which was good on their
part,” Wedemire said. “It made it
difficult to get touches and I could-
n’t score because of it.”
The loss drops Western’s record
to 7-5, placing them in a tie for
third-place in the Ontario Universi-
ty Athletics West division with the
Waterloo Warriors.
“We just got to get back in the
gym and work it out. We have to
focus on the details and work hard,”
Wedemire said.

Mustangs win 8th in a row
Poulin provides clutch kills in 5th set
By Justin Duckett
Gazette Writer
Despite not having played a regular
season game in over a month, the
Western men’s volleyball team
showed little rust, opening the sec-
ond half of the season with a
thrilling victory over the visiting
Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks.
The Mustangs needed all five
sets to defeat the feisty Hawks on
Sunday afternoon at Alumni Hall.
“We were lucky,” Mustangs head
coach Jim Sage said. “It was a nice
match to win, in the sense that it
was an important match, but it
wasn’t high calibre volleyball.”
Laurier head coach Shayne
White reiterated that mindset.
“Both teams were very average
today. It wasn’t very good volley-
ball.”
In the first set Laurier gained a
quick 18-13 lead, forcing Western to
call a timeout. The Mustangs bat-
tled back, trading set point oppor-
tunities, until Laurier finally took
the marathon set 31-29.
“It was a heartbreaking loss. It
really could have gone either way,
and we had three chances with
swings to end the game,” Sage said.
“That’s unacceptable. If we have an
opportunity to swing to win, we
better win.”
Western came out focused in the
second set, leading at every techni-
cal timeout, and ultimately winning
the set 25-11. Their strong play con-
tinued into the third set, which they
NEW OPPORTUNITIES
IN EARLY LEARNING
BE PREPARED WITH OUR NEW ELEMENTARY-E.C.E. PROGRAM
In September 2010, the Ontario government will begin providing full-day learning
programs for four- and five-year olds, greatly increasing the need for elementary and
early childhood teachers.
To meet this need, Lambton College and the University of Windsor are offering a unique,
new program in Sarnia that will allow you to earn both your education degree and
ECE diploma at the same time. This two-year program will prepare you for a rewarding
career as a teaching professional.

won handily 25-20.
“The difference between the first
set and the second set was the
number of errors that we commit-
ted,” second-year hitter Mathieu
Poulin said. “In the first set we
missed six or seven serves, and that
makes a huge difference with a
team like Laurier who just won’t go
away.”
Laurier displayed much more
resiliency in a fourth set they had to
win. Western lead by a point late in
the set but a crucial Laurier timeout
shifted the momentum, allowing
the Hawks to fight back and take
the set 25-23.
“We were inconsistent the whole
game,” White said. “We showed
some consistency in the fourth set,
and that’s the only reason why it
went to a fifth.”
The back and forth game con-
cluded in a thrilling fifth set. At 14-
13, Laurier had a chance to end the
game, but Poulin came through
with a timely kill for Western to
even the score. The Mustangs used
the ensuing momentum shift to
win the set 16-14 — and the game
three sets to two.
Poulin led the Mustangs with 17
points, 16 digs and three blocks.
Third-year setter Mathew Gibson,
Western’s player of the game, led
the team with 44 assists.
“In practice, our coaches put us
through a lot of situations like that,”
Poulin said. “The difference was
last year, if a few things went bad,
we would fold and they would just

beat us. Our coaches have put us
through a lot of drills so we know
what to do now.”
The men now sit atop the
Ontario University Athletics confer-
ence, and have extended their win-
ning streak to eight games. Their
last loss came on Halloween.
Western plays their next four
games at home, which may prove
to be an extremely important run in
their season.
“It’s an interesting schedule.
Being at home, we need to win all
four of those remaining matches.
Then we’re on the road for the next
five matches, so we know it’s going
to be a very difficult task winning
those games,” Sage said.
