USC elections policy
gets digital facelift
Cheryl Stone
NEWS EDITOR
One of the University Students’
Council’s most glamorous pieces of
legislation finally got a facelift.
Bylaw 2, the policy used to gov-
ern USC elections, was updated last
Wednesday to reflect the increasing-
ly digital nature of campaigning.
“We really didn’t have a choice
about making these changes
because over the course of this elec-
tion we ran into so many things that
screamed for change,” Adam Smith,
chief returning officer for the USC,
explained.
The bylaw itself has not been
revised since 2008. Seeing many
changes in how elections are run —
including this year’s professional-
looking video by Andrew Forgione’s
team — prompted this year’s Elec-
tions Committee to revisit the policy.
“The issue was a high quality
[video] which used professional
equipment,” Smith explained. “The
committee can’t speak to how much
that would cost.”
Candidates will now be charged
a percentage of their campaign bud-
get on the video. The Elections Com-
mittee will determine the exact
amount depending on whether the
video is professional or amateur. For
professional videos, the cost would
be 2/15 of their budget while ama-
teur videos would cost 1/15.
Andrew Shaw, arts and humani-
ties councillor, said the changes
originally recommended a $50 flat
fee for an amateur video, which he
called unfair for candidates running
for positions with smaller budgets.
“My amendment in particular
was intended to make the cost for
campaign videos relative to candi-
dates’ budgets as it seems rather
unfair to charge the same amount to
candidates whose budgets will differ
by roughly $650.”
Brandon Sousa, a councillor for
media, information and technolcul-
ture, amended the bylaw to ensure
the video fee was only incurred once
for candidates.
Candidates will also now have to
send all of their social media cam-
paign material for approval from the
elections committee. Standard cam-
paign rules, such as not using pur-
ple, will also apply to online plat-
forms.
“I think it’s important because
this is the way we’re seeing students
communicate now,” Nicole Fassina,
communications officer for the USC,
said. She noted the bylaw had previ-
ously not included information on

social media.
Smith noted a more detailed
bylaw meant the Elections Commit-
tee could make decisions and candi-
dates would be more informed
about what actions were allowed.
Social media’s continuing influ-
ence during campus campaigning
also played a factor in cutting the
budget for the presidential candi-
dates. Currently, candidates receive
five cents per full-time equivalent
student — or around $1,300 this year.
But next year, candidates will receive
half that amount.
“There was a large demand for
this. These campaigns are funded by
students,” Smith said.
Fassina explained the use of
social media, alongside tighter
restrictions for where outdoor signs
can go, meant candidates would
need less money to run an effective
campaign.
“A lot of other schools are
nowhere near our current spending
limit,” Sousa said.

SRP vote invalid
After five days of deliberation,
USC disqualifies ‘Yes’ side for several violations
“VOTE ‘YES’ FOR ILLEGAL CAMPAIGNING!” An unapproved email sent to a list of undergraduate students asked voters to
support a referendum for the Student Refugee Program. The email, along with several other violations, caused the “Yes”
side to be disqualified.
Kaleigh Rogers
NEWS EDITOR
While students overwhelmingly
supported a new levy for the Student
Refugee Program, the results have
been called invalid because of a
number of violations.
The referendum to add a 52-cent
levy for the program, which spon-
sors a refugee student’s education in
Canada, received 5,712 “Yes” votes
and 2,841 “No” votes.
But the University Students’
Council Elections Committee decid-
ed the “Yes” side of a very con-
tentious campaign broke enough
rules to be disqualified, making the
results invalid.
Yesterday, the committee official-
ly disqualified the “Yes” side after
five days of deliberation. Along with
the results, they released a report
indicating the “Yes Registered Inter-
ested Party” received 35 demerit
points — five more than allowed.
The demerit points were for a
variety of infractions including post-
campaigning and not complying
with “the spirit and purpose of the
elections,” the report read.
The “No” side also accrued six
demerit points for hanging a poster
during the voting period.
Adam Smith, chief returning offi-
cer for the USC, explained in a refer-
endum such as this, official parties

to the same bylaw.
“Elections committee felt like
that was a very fair way of looking
at it,” Smith explained.
During the two-day voting peri-
od, the Elections Committee began
a review of the referendum based on
written complaints from students at
large and members of each interest-
ed party, according to Smith.
“Elections Committee met
[Wednesday] night to decide on
some of the violations. However, we
felt that there were too many and we
didn’t have enough information [to
make an immediate decision],”
Smith said.
After meeting again Saturday and
once more Monday, the committee
issued the demerit points and
deemed the referendum invalid.
“I give the elections committee a
lot of props — for lack of a better
word — for really looking at this in
depth and taking a lot of time,” Mari-
no Felice, head of the “No” side, said.
“There was a lot of concern from
people on both sides as to why the
Elections Committee was taking so
long and I think the report showed
the intricacy of the entire campaign
and how it was a complicated situa-
tion.”
While he would have preferred
the “No” side to win in the referen-
dum and remain valid, Felice
explained he was happy the USC

“This appeals process is impor-

Education gets

According to a recent poll, Ontari-

In a poll of 1,800 people, about
half said the quality of university
education stayed the same and
approximately one third said that

she explained. “When that happens,
the public perception of any kind of
other investments that might be
made into the system gets over-
looked by the fact that students are
being relied on more and more to
fund the system.”
Though Ontarians are not happy
with the annual increase in tuition,
the Liberal party has implemented
this and other changes for a reason,
Loreto explained.
“They injected money into the
system to help meet the enrolment
growth that was being caused by the
Baby Boom, and so those funds are
important and badly needed. They
also made changes to OSAP, and
they just announced that they intend
to create a credit transfer initiative,”
Loreto said.
“The problem is that when these
changes are accompanied by
increasing tuition fees, it makes it
very difficult to convince people that
a system is in place that is both
acceptable and affordable.”

Huron digitizes slave
era documents
The Historian’s Craft, a course taught
at Huron University College, will be
celebrating the art of preserving his-
tory. The class will be digitizing and
transcribing original documents from
the slave-movement era and posting
them online in hopes of informing the
public about this historical period.
The class began using websites
for projects last year. Nina Reid-
Maroney, an assistant professor in
the history department at Huron,
said the students first looked at the
diary of Thomas Hughes, a reverend
who was working to provide educa-
tion for fleeing slaves.
This year, the students looked at
the archives in Oberlin, Ohio for let-
ters to and from Rev. Hiram Wilson,
an anti-slavery agent working in
Canada, Reid-Maroney explaianed.
The class is also working on a
second project for Christ Church in
Chatham, which is celebrating its
150th anniversary. The website for
the church will contain digitized
documents from the archives.
An unveiling of both projects will
take place at Huron’s Great Hall on
March 24 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Number of parking
spots slashed by four
Students who have difficulty finding
parking spots may not be happy to
hear some of these spots are being
removed.
A university committee consisting
of stakeholders and campus police
has decided the four parking meters
near the University Community Cen-
tre and Social Sciences Building
should be removed as of March 28.
Mark Van Den Bossche, parking
manager for Western’s Parking Ser-
vices, said the removal of these
meters was due to road congestion
in the area.
“Deliveries were sometimes not
even being made due to congestion,”
said Van Den Bossche.
The area will be turned into a
delivery service area and Van Den
Bossche predicted it would have a
positive effect for delivery service
vehicles.
While it’s only four spots, West-
ern’s parking lots — especially those
on campus — are still congested.
“When you talk about parking
spots, it’s hard to say [you’re remov-
ing] four spots because everyone is
so passionate about parking,” Van
Den Bossche said.

Tax season promises high returns

Accountants and tax enthusiasts encouraging students to file
Kaleigh Rogers
NEWS EDITOR

Accounting nerds, rejoice — it’s tax

season once again. Students at West-
ern are busy filing tax returns in
hopes of receiving a fat cheque in
the mail in a few weeks’ time.
To help out, the University Stu-
dents’ Council has set up their annu-
al tax clinic where students can have
their income tax filed for free by
trained volunteers.
“As a student, you pay a tuition fee,
you have expenses, you pay rent. So
it’s important to file taxes. Basically,
every student gets a refund amount.
They don’t have to pay taxes, but
rather, they get money back,” Harsh
Thakkar, Income Tax Commissioner
for the USC, explained.
Thakkar noted most students file
income tax in one form or another,
either by using free services like the
tax clinic or external agencies like
H&R Block because they’re eager to
receive their return.
“Last year, we filed 240 tax
returns in five days, and the average
student tax refund amount was
about $380.”
He also explained it’s required by
the government for students to file
because they all receive a tax receipt
for the tuition they pay.
Brenda Roelofsen, a master tax
specialist at H&R Block in London,
noted they see a lot of students at
this time of year.
“They really should file,” she
stressed. “We’d be happy to help

Jennifer Gilchrist, a third-year
sociology student, used the clinic for
the first time this year.
“This is the first time I’ve ever
done taxes on my own and I saw this
online [...] so I thought I’d try it out,”
Gilchrist said.
Thakkar said this is typical for
students, who often have their par-
ents file their taxes for them for the
first few years of university.
Gilchrist explained the process
was simple.

Students may soon feel the bite of
rising food costs.
According to Statistics Canada’s
consumer price index, food prices
across Canada have risen 2.1 per
cent since last February.
This is due to issues with global
supply, a rising demand for food and
skyrocketing fuel prices.
Western’s Hospitality Services
have been aware of this increase for
some time.
“We’ve been watching food prices
rise for the last year, particularly
bread and oil,” said Frank Miller,
director of Hospitality Services.
“Keeping prices at reasonable levels
will be one of our biggest challenges.”
Miller said Western secured
some contracts with price protec-
tion as part of their long-term plan-
ning.
“Hospitality Services is not above
shopping for cheaper brands, as
long as quality is maintained.” Miller
said. “It’s no different than you or me
going shopping at Loblaws, we’re
always looking for the best deal.”
With these precautions in place,
Miller is confident the 2.1 per cent
increase in food costs won’t affect
students.
The new grocery store in the
UCC, Grocery Checkout, has also
anticipated a rise in food prices.
“We have seen many food prices
increase from our suppliers,” said
Nathan Felder, CEO of Grocery
Checkout. “Much of this has to do
with non-local weather conditions.”
Despite the looming increase in
food costs, Felder remained confi-
dent Grocery Checkout would be
able to keep prices reasonable.
“Because we focus on local prod-
ucts and suppliers, our cost will
increase less because there are less
transportation costs than larger
retailers on many items,” Felder said.
Students concerned about prices
rising in their local campus dives
need not fear — yet.
“Every year the cost of food rises
and it rises based on the consumer
price index,” said Ely Rygier, vice-
president finance for the University
Students’ Council.
Despite these yearly increases,
certain student favourites have yet
to be affected.
“The price of the CLT hasn’t
increased in a long time,” Rygier said.
Yet, with the 2.1 per cent increase
in food prices, some prices may
soon have to be raised.
“At The Spoke in particular, we
may have to pass along some of the
costs to the consumers,” Rygier said.
Despite this potential, eateries on
campus will experiment with differ-
ent menu items and ingredients to
keep costs reasonable, according to
Rygier.
“We try to keep costs low wher-
ever possible.”

Arts&Life
Exhibit features Chambers’ unique style
London artist’s work showcased through graphics and film
Narayan Chattergoon
GAZETTE STAFF
A cinematic experience awaits you
in Jack Chambers: the light from the
darkness, silver paintings and film
work.
The exhibit features the work of
the late Jack Chambers, a London
painter and filmmaker. Between
1966 and 1967, the artist’s work con-
sisted of graphic images made with
aluminum paint. These works, along
with his films, represent the body of
art shown in the exhibit.
In his artwork, Chambers
employs multiple techniques
focused on movement, the effect of
light, and collage and montage. His
paintings consist of images of differ-
ent subjects, but his use of silver
paint represents these images in a
unique way.
Each painting is similar to that of
a negative in photography, using a
“positive-negative” effect that mir-
rors techniques in film. This cine-
matic approach to art makes Cham-
bers’ paintings unique, and the
changes in texture and shading add
extra perspective to his work.
Depending on the angle and position
that you view the paintings, the
lighting, shading and movement of
the pieces change and alter the per-
ception of the piece to the viewer.

Musically, the band has contin-

previous work. The fist-pumping
guitar riffs and climactic bridges feel
full of energy and rage. In spite of
music that screams of collapse and

anti-establishment anger to being a

tion | Mustangs fifth-year centre Matteke Hutzler was named as a Second-Team All-Canadian last week.
Giuffre’s help earn Mustangs redemption at OUAs
Mustangs earn three gold medals, nine all-star awards
Daniel Da Silva
SPORTS EDITOR
When a team loses a potential
Olympian, like Alexandra Bruce for
instance, it wouldn’t be a stretch to
say they might have a down season.
After all, the Mustangs badminton
team had to compete in last year’s
Ontario University Athletics champi-
onships without her and came home
with a disappointing silver medal.
“It’s very difficult to replace an
athlete like Alex Bruce, if not impos-
sible,” said Mustang and OUA all-
star Peter Butler. “She was absent for
the final tournament last year and
that was a major reason why we
could not bring the title home.”
So how were they going to win the
OUA championship at Thames Hall?
With a heavy dose of the Giuffres.
Martin Giuffre came to Western
last year and absolutely dominated,
winning accolades like OUA most
valuable player, OUA rookie of the
year and Gazette athlete of the year.
He continued his dominance this
year. His sister, Christina, joined the
team this year and provided critical
depth — especially in the women’s
and mixed doubles divisions.
“Martin and Christina are incred-
ibly important to the team. Martin
hasn’t lost a singles match in OUA
badminton. Christina was a rookie
this year and was the driving force
behind our new class of strong girls,”
Butler said.
Behind the strong play of the
Giuffre family act, the Mustangs
took back the OUA title they
dropped to Waterloo last year with
a total of 78 points, 16 better than the
rival Warriors.
“Beating Waterloo this year after
being upset last year felt amazing.
[We] have always dominated bad-
minton so we had to take back that
banner that is rightfully ours,” But-
ler said. “The fact that everyone on
our team played great [...] just made
redemption that much sweeter.”
Our team made up for
the loss of Alex this
year with great depth
from our girls. We have
the strongest girls in
Ontario, which include
all-stars like Jenn
Lam, Christina Guiffre
and Fong Cho.
—Peter Butler
OUA all-star On the Mustangs team depth
The Mustangs definitely put forth
a strong team effort. Giuffre didn’t
disappoint in the men’s singles
bracket and perennial all-star Jen-
nifer Lam took home the gold in
both the women’s singles and the
women’s doubles with Christina
Giuffre as her partner.
It also helped that rookie duo
Margaret Cameron and Allison
Pastewka were second overall in the
women’s doubles division, both
earning all-star nods in the process.
Butler and Jon Ma also earned some
hardware, finishing second in the
men’s doubles.
In all, the Mustangs earned five

top-two finishes and nine OUA all-
star awards.
“It felt great to be recognized as
an all-star, especially with Jon Ma,”
Butler said. “[But Warriors] Nathan
Lee and Andrew Tai-Pow hit the ball
incredibly hard and play at a very
fast pace. In the final set, we made a
few too many errors and ended up
losing the match. They played great
and deserved to win.”
While the Warriors were surely
disappointed, they still left the con-
fines of Thames Hall with their
heads held high.
“This year you saw two complete
teams go head to head. The quality
of matches that you saw from both
Western and our players was simply
unparalleled from previous sea-
sons,” Warriors head coach Chris
Erven said. “The Mustangs were
worthy champions this year.”
While the Warriors could not
match Western’s point total, they did
manage to match the Mustangs on
the tournament all-star team, earn-
ing nine nods as well as a rookie of
the year award for Surabhi Kadam.
“Surabhi has been a huge addi-
tion to the team. I think she’s the
only woman to push Jennifer Lam
since she joined the league,” Erven
said. “I’m sure we can expect many
great things from Surabhi in her
years in the OUA.”
If Western wants to defend their
title next year, though, they better get
right back to work. Erven promises
that the bitter taste of defeat will
only make his team hungrier for
next year’s championship.
“Make no mistake about it, we’re Nyssa Kuwahara GAZETTE

Leafs can’t afford to lose any points.
But knowing the Leafs, this latest
playoff drive will not be an easy
road, filled with dizzying highs, ter-

But isn’t that what we should expect

Compared to other elite teams in

Philadelphia — the Leafs just aren’t
