Renegade architect schools Rye By Vanessa Greco

The Eyeopener • 3

Speaking of architects...

News Editor

Britain’s most notorious architect arrived on campus yesterday. Will Alsop, the so-called bad boy of architecture, has taken up a teaching position at Ryerson. His first lecture was on Nov. 24. The recent announcement of Alsop’s Ryerson arrival created a stir in the architecture community after the U.K. modernist announced in August that he’d be retiring. “I actually said I was going to retire to do painting and a little bit more teaching,” said Alsop. “And a little bit more teaching is Ryerson.” Dubbed a distinguished visiting practitioner, the world-renowned architect plans to help graduate students with their thesis projects. Prior to his appointment at Ryerson, Alsop mentored students at schools in London, Vienna and Hannover. While he understands arson isn’t considered an appropriate teaching method at Ryerson, Alsop recalls a time when it was effective. “If I didn’t like someone’s project I’d set fire to their model,” said Alsop of his time as an instructor in London. “But that’s what they deserved. If you don’t work then I can’t respect your work.” Alsop’s own body of work spans over three decades. In 2000, he won the Stirling Prize, architecture’s highest honour, for the Pekham Library in London. Locally, Alsop is best-known for designing the Sharp Centre, a four-storey “tabletop” building for the Ontario College of Art and Design. According to Gregory Woods, Ryerson architecture graduate and Alsop’s business partner, the star architect considered submitting a design proposal for Ryerson’s Student Learning Centre.

Referendum victory for rez council

British architect Will Alsop delivered his first lecture on Nov. 24. PHOTO: Chris Dale “We regretfully decided not to pursue it,” said Woods explaining that Alsop was setting up a new studio at the time. Regardless of how he contributes during his time at Ryerson, Kendra Schank Smith, chair of architecture, believes Alsop’s visit will elevate the profile of Ryerson’s architecture program.

“He allows our students to engage with the international architecture community,” she said. After years spent building his own career, Alsop looks forward to mentoring Ryerson students. “A lot of these young people can go on to be great architects if they’re taught well, if they’re opened and tested,” he said. “I could do that.”

Ryerson hopes to have the architect of the new Student Learning Centre (SLC) sign a contract before the end of December, according to President Sheldon Levy. Months ago, the school started accepting proposals from architects interested in designing the new student space on the former Sam the Record Man site. After looking through the submitted applications, Ryerson whittled their choices down to a final group of hopeful architects. “We’re at the point when we’re evaluating the final, final group to be able to determine who we want to sit down and discuss contractual terms,” said Levy. Once chosen, Ryerson aims to announce the building’s architect toward the end of January, according to Linda Grayson, Ryerson’s vice-president administration and finance. In an email, Grayson described the SLC project as a “significant undertaking” and added that “It is not something that benefits from rushing.”

On-site HIV testing dropped for demo

By Vanessa Greco News Editor

Residence students elected to nearly double an annual fee in a referendum on Nov. 16. Starting in Sept. 2010, roughly 838 students arriving to residence will pay $41 for the Ryerson Residence Council — a student-run organization representing all Ryerson housing tenants. Eighty-five per cent of residence students who voted in the referendum were in favour of the $18 fee increase, according to Sean Carson, president of the rez council. “Previously the fee had been very small,” said Carson adding that more funding will allow Ryerson’s Residence Council to run a larger operation with more high-profile events and services available to students. In addition to the higher fee, next year rez council fees will be indexed for the first time. This means when general residence costs rise the council fee will rise with them. Chad Nuttall, student housing manager, believes that more residence council funding was sorely needed. “It does sound like a dramatic, big increase, but really we’re off-setting years of not increasing fees,” he said. According to Nuttall, over the past few years the cost of buying materials and putting on events has continued to rise while the council fee remained static. Miriam Ben Jannet voted yes in the referendum. The first-year business management student doesn’t think $41 is too much to ask for. “Unless the students do it...nothing’s going to happen,” she said.

An on-site HIV testing planned by the Ryerson Students’ Union (RSU) has been nixed due to a policy concern and staffing issues. Initially, staff from the Hassle Free Clinic were to perform anonymous testing as part of an HIV awareness panel on Dec. 1 at the Student Campus Centre. Counsellors from the clinic would have been on campus as well. Instead, a mock demonstration of the test will replace the temporary site. RSU President Jermaine Bagnall will demonstrate getting the rapid HIV test, which produces results after drawing a

blood sample from a finger prick. Zavaré Tengra, the clinic’s sexual health counsellor, said its policy states they can’t test someone at the event without knowing their status. A positive result on the spot would be upsetting and the clinic can’t spare its staff from its centre located at Gerrard and Church streets. “I can only test someone who knows his or her result,” said Tengra who will be speaking at the event. “That’s why we didn’t randomly choose people who wanted to test. Can you imagine if I give a positive result in front of 50 people?” Calling it “Hassle Free 101”, Tengra will lead the talk followed by other panel speakers — a representative for people living with AIDS and from af-

filiate group Dignitas Youth. About 50 people are expected at this event, which will deal with finding out one’s status and dealing with HIV and stigma. “It’s a needed service in the community,” Tengra said.” Bagnall, who got a pre-test on Nov. 23, is unconcerned with this change. “The fact that they’re still coming to speak and give a demonstration is really important.” For a year, Bagnall has tried to involve the Hassle Free Clinic in HIV awareness at Ryerson. “It’s something that’s been on the back of my mind,” Bagnall said. “Now I know someone who is HIV positive, but I’ve always felt that this was an important issue.”

I’ve spent a lot of time in this space this year writing about life at Ryerson in one form or another. But ultimately it always comes back to community. One of the nicest surprises in our newspaper this year has been the success of our Tweets of the Week. What started as a one-off idea to fill up a chunk of space in our Biz and Tech section has really caught on in the Twitterverse. A few weeks ago, someone created a hashtag for our tweets: #eyeforatweet. This week, we’ve had two tweeters use the tag. What we’ve essentially created is a community, and it’s a really cool feeling. Kind of like an Eyeopener family. Now people can share and talk to each other about the different experiences they have while at school. And not only does it provide for a pretty entertaining read, it makes the community a whole lot smaller. Twitter has allowed us, as journalists, to have a better tap on what’s going on at school. But it’s also your connection to what’s happening in our office. For example, this week when thinking of what to write for my editorial, I sent out a tweet asking for suggestions. The Eyeopener Twitter account will also be your source not only for campus stories, but also contests and giveaways. So follow us, and stay tuned.

Students question new biz post Rye ponders online degree verification

By Alexandra macaulay abdelwahab

Questions have arisen about why Abdul Snobar, general manager of the Ryerson Commerce Society (RCS), gets paid $50,000 a year. “There is no transparency, whatsoever. Nobody knows that a general manager exists. Nobody knows that they’re paying for it,” said Yanna Chevtchouc, a business management student in her fifth year of the program. The position was created at the end of last year. Snobar’s salary is funded by three groups. Rogers Communication Inc. is paying 40 per cent, Ryerson is paying 20 per cent and business students pay 40 per cent through the RCS budget. Rogers saw the value in supporting the position to help the Ted Rogers School of Management grow, said Abdul Snobar, who was appointed to the position by the RCS board of governors and given a two-year contract. “I think it’s a reasonable salary,” said Zack Membrere, a second-year business student. “They do a lot of work as general manager and if he has the experience, I think it’s reasonable.” But not everyone agrees that the position is necessary. “Not in any way, shape or form. There is no clear idea of what he actually does,” said Chevtchouc. The position was discussed at a RCS semi-annual general meeting on Nov. 18. It. was open to all full-time business students to vote on by-law amendments and to hear updates from the executive. Alyssa Williams, a second-year business management student, who was at the meeting, wonders why Rogers is interested in funding the position. “Why is a corporation sponsoring him?” she said. “Why doesn’t he work for them?” Snobar sat on the board of governors as an advisory councillor last year, but said although he helped create the position, he had nothing to do with his appointment. According to Snobar, the position allows him

They require the student involved to release their private information. If a student refused to let an employer view their data it would raise red flags about their honesty, said Scullion. “I really like what York’s doing,” said Scullion, adding that he sent a Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act request to review if Ryerson could implement a similar website without violating any privacy laws. If the idea gets the all-clear, Scullion said he would love to spearhead the effort. Ryerson President Sheldon Levy would like to evaluate the needs of potential employers. “You go as far as ensuring that the freedoms of information are protected, but I think the idea that an employer can easily make sure that the degree Nov. 24 in Kerr Hall Quad. photo: chris dale is authentic is a good idea,” Levy said.

Just days after York University launched a new degree verification process, Ryerson would like to bring a similar system to prospective employers. YU Verify, run by York’s registrar’s office, went online last week. The site allows users check the credentials of anyone who claims to have attended York. If the results are easily available, viewers can find data immediately. “Canadian degrees are highly sought after all over the world,” said Alex Bilyk, director of media relations at York. Canadian degrees have a history of abuse, he said. In 2006, a Toronto Star investigation exposed a diploma mill selling documents from York and the University of Toronto for thousands of dollars. The former York student, Peng Sun, produced fake diplomas and transcripts that were almost identical to the real thing. “I think it’s part of moving forward,” said Bilyk, explaining that York was just using technology to make the process easier. “Anyone receiving a degree is public information.”

Lower tuition lures U.S. students By Ross Arbour

Chatting with Sue Ryerson By Alexandra Macaulay Abdelwahab

Ariella Freid’s education knows no borders. The second-year student was born, raised and schooled in Washington, D.C., but relocated north of the border for Ryerson’s dance program. “I started looking for schools in Canada because they weren’t as exorbitant as U.S. schools,” she said. “The theatre school at Ryerson seemed like a financially sound match for me.” Fried is one of 350 American students at Ryerson, 42 are currently in their first year of a graduate or undergraduate program. Nine thousand Americans studied at Canadian universities and colleges this year, up from 2,300 just 12 years ago, according to the Canadian embassy in Washington. It was there Fried attended the International Baccalaureate program at the Washington International School. “A school is a school, so if they offer what I want, the fact that I crossed an international border to get there isn’t that important,” she said. But Michelle Chieng, first-year radio and television arts (RTA) student, said her friends hadn’t heard of any Canadian schools and didn’t understand the programs. They wondered what she could get in Canada that wasn’t already in the States. Ryerson’s Registrar Keith Alnwick explains the U.S. market is huge and the school targets the northeastern U.S. because of its proximity. Last year, there were 68,000 total applications to

Sue Ryerson is the great-great granddaughter of Egerton Ryerson. She lives in Sydney, Australia, and visited Ryerson in July on her way to the Ryerse-Ryerson family reunion. Q: So I know you visited Ryerson this summer. What did you think of the campus? A: Well I came and actually stayed on campus. I stayed at the Ryerson [International Living and] Learning Centre, because I thought it’d be great to, you know, [have] a Ryerson staying at Ryerson. Q: Did you get a sweater with Ryerson on it?

Of those applicants, he says Ontario applicants have equal opportunity as those across the globe. Chieng was also accepted for communications studies at the University of Tennessee with a scholarship, offsetting some expenses and mak-

ing it roughly the same price as Ryerson. “I chose Ryerson because it specialized in RTA,” she said. Fried and Chieng are both pleased with their decision to come to Ryerson. “I love living here in Canada,” Fried said. “I’m thinking of staying here after graduation.”

President set to ask for MBA tuition increase by carys mills news editor

Ryerson’s president is going to seek permission from the government to raise Ryerson master of business administration (MBA) tuition fees. “Our MBA program is like the discount, you know, the Wal-Mart discount version,” said Alan Shepard, provost and vice-president academic, at

a Board of Governors finance committee meeting on Nov. 19. Tuition is regulated by the province, it determines how much tuition can go up annually. To stray from the framework, Ryerson will need to seek approval from the Ontario government. Ryerson President Sheldon Levy is unsure how much fees could be raised. He has to talk to government about whether an increase is possible

and if a fee would be determined by benchmarking other universities’ fees. According to Levy, Ryerson MBA tuition fees are lower than other universities because Ryerson wanted to have an edge when the program started. This year, Ryerson MBA fees set students back about $13,200. York University’s Schulich MBA costs students about $23,800 for two terms. “We were in a competitive mode,” said Levy.

A: I got some t-shirts for my great-niece and great-nephew and they were pretty chuffed... And the other thing that is a family tradition is to go and have your photo taken beside Egerton’s statue and we compare noses. Q: Have you heard any other interesting stories about Egerton? A: Oh, well apparently he got a bad back once and he got stuck in the position and they had to carry him out. He was lying with his feet in the air and they had to carry him out from wherever he was.

No extra credit for a class romance

Briefs &

Groaners

By Christine Dobby

Nathan* was 18 years old when he began a sexual relationship with his former high-school French teacher, a man in his late 30s. Nathan, now 24, said there was an “unspoken attraction” when he was still a student. But his teacher didn’t pursue him until several months after he graduated. Unlike high schools, Ryerson has no policy banning consensual personal relationships between professors and students. Instead, the school’s conflict of interest policy requires faculty members to disclose “close personal relationships” with students and prevents them from evaluating the student’s work. “We don’t have an absolute policy [banning relationships between faculty and students],” said Michael Dewson, vice provost faculty affairs. “Each case depends on a whole set of circumstances,” he said. If a faculty member is dating a student, it can become a problem if the student enrolls in the faculty member’s course. This would fall under the conflict of interest policy.

Possible George Street student housing A proposed project to redevelop George Street could see the Seaton House shelter rebuilt. Privately owned projects could be developed to the south, including a private student residence. Ryerson’s Master Plan was looked at while considering the development according to Jonathan Kearns of Kearns Mancini Architects, one of the groups involved.

Mass theft of hand sanritizer Twelve handsanitizers were stolen from the Sally Horsfall Eaton Centre on Nov. 19. Each one was worth $21, making the total value of stolen hand sanitizer $252. According to security this is the first time hand sanitizer theft has been noticed on campus.

Dude, where’s the sanitizer? A group of youths entered Pitman Hall lobby on Saturday at around 3:30 a.m. asking where the hand sanitizer was. After being pointed in its direction by front desk staff one of the people drank from the dispenser for about 10 seconds.

Please, no public wedgies Just before 7 p.m. on Nov. 22 a male student and a female non-community member were walking on campus. The woman gave the man a wedgie and after he rolled on the ground in pain, someone called security. When security arrived the man was mooning the woman, showing her the damage.

Vincent McDermott mashes some buttons with the Association of Ryerson Roleplayers and Gamers

photos: chris dale

In the back of the Ram in the Rye pub, Greg Beard connects the wires from a projector into what looks like an old, grey typewriter. The projection on the wall is the familiar maze from the retro Pac-Man games, but Beard says this one is a cheap knockoff. Beard, a first-year computer science student, is the owner of a Commodore VIC-20, an early computer and video game console that he bought for $20 at a thrift shop. “You really start to yearn for the good old days with this stuff,” says Beard. “That appreciation and interest with the past really makes playing these games a lot more fun.” The Commodore VIC-20 was released in 1980. It was the first console to sell over 1million copies by 1983. Today, the average calculator is more powerful. Usually, the Ram in the Rye only has pool tables for fun and games. But the Retro Gaming Night, hosted by the Association of Ryerson Roleplayers and Gamers on Thursday, November 19, saw the Commodore VIC-20, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, Intellivision and the Atari 2600 offer an alternative to playing drunken pool. “Whatever kind of gaming you want to do, video games or tabletop games or whatever, we want to help you start playing what you’re interested in,” says Alex Wrigglesworth, ARRG president and a second-year civil engineering student. “We want to just give you the equipment to have fun, and just say, ‘Go!’” This is ARRG’s grand re-launch. Retro Game Night is ARRG’s first public event of the school year since September, when they had a table and sign-up sheet at Ryerson’s Welcome Week. The club was originally founded in 2003, but closed in October 2007 due to a lack of membership. “When I came to Ryerson, I saw this games club listed on the pamphlets, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I guess the RSU didn’t update them,” says Wrigglesworth. “I

thought ARRG sounded interesting, so me and some other people started to try and get it re-started.” “We’re basically starting over from scratch,” adds Alix Croussette, ARRG’s Video Game Executive and a secondyear aerospace engineering student. “The point we’re trying to do with ARRG is to promote playing games and having fun at Ryerson,” says Wrigglesworth. “We’ve done some recruiting on campus, but most people who hear of us hear from word of mouth.” Wrigglesworth and Croussette are both planning more public events for the new year. While video games may be a huge part of ARRG, Croussette says they are not the main focus. “We have Risk, we play Warhammer 40K, tons of board games and cards, we have lots of stuff that anyone can do.” Finding a place where he could meet new people while playing the various role-playing, tabletop and video games he loves was part of the appeal for Beard when he heard about ARRG in September. “I saw their table at the university club day in September, and I thought it was cool that there was a gaming club like that,” says Beard. ARRG has established a number of goals to reinvent itself, but they are still being met with challenges: recruiting active members, organizing events, finding decent equipment, but most importantly, finding a room. “We want to sit down with the RSU in the new year and just try to get a room once a week to meet and organize,” says Croussette. “That’s really important for us.” Wrigglesworth admits his group has a lot of work ahead, but Retro Gaming Night has made him all smiles. He inspects each of the consoles and points out that each station has a group of

people crowding around the screen, cheering on as someone makes a blue hedgehog gather rings and an Italian plumber save a princess. “Tonight is going really well,” he smiles. “Students like having fun and being able to relax, and some do that with gaming.” Wrigglesworth predicts that more events like Retro Gaming Night will be just as successful. “Events like these get us out there,” he says. “We want Ryerson to know that whatever games you want to play, we want to play, too.”

Shrinking the damage

Trauma affects everyone close to the victim, and now Candice Monson has come to Ryerson to help heal the wounds By Kiera Toffelmire

Boisterous teens cling to their drinks and stumble across a carpeted floor stained from spilt beer and dirty shoes. Music blares from nearby speakers as *Brook Manning pushes her way through a crowd of drunken party-goers. Once outside, 15-year-old Manning shares a cigarette with a charming fellow named *Brent, who later invites her to the local convenience store. Craving a Coke, Manning hops in Brent’s car, oblivious of what is to come. Brent drives to an abandoned parking lot and turns off the engine. In a matter of seconds Manning is struggling to release herself from the tight hold Brent has on her.

about what happened, although family members and friends noticed she was becoming distant and depressed. Her mother blamed the symptoms on hormones. Though Manning suffered in silence, she did not suffer alone. “Experiencing something like that devours you. It shatters your soul for a long time,” said Manning, who decided to receive therapy last summer. “I hated everyone. I took my anger out on family and friends so it became hard to have meaningful relationships.” Six years later, Manning, a third-year social work student, still has vivid flashbacks of the event. She avoids parties. She avoids parking lots. She avoids sex with her boyfriend. It is difficult for her to have close relationships because she no longer trusts people. Manning suffers from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a severe anxiety condition that develops after being exposed to something traumatic. But she isn’t the only one suffering; PTSD has made a victim of her and all those close to her. Dr. Candice Monson, one of the

world’s leading experts on the effects of PTSD, joined Ryerson staff this past July. Determined to help patients with the interpersonal aspects of the disorder, Monson, along with a team of graduates from the clinical psychology program, conduct free couple’s treatment to anyone whose relationship has been affected by trauma-induced stress. Monson helps couples build an understanding

as likely to develop PTSD. The most common traumas that result in PTSD are combat and penetrated sexual assault. Symptoms of PTSD include vivid flashbacks and nightmares, irritability and anger, and the most common — avoidance. Victims will often avoid anything that reminds them of the event. While working her way through graduate school, Monson began question-

Almost 10 per cent of people are affected by PTSD, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association. Younger people are more at risk for PTSD because they are in more motor vehicle accidents and are more vulnerable to substance abuse and sexual assault. And while men are exposed to more traumas in a lifetime, women are twice

ing why there wasn’t a greater emphasis on treating PTSD. Of all the mental illnesses, PTSD is a disorder with a known root cause, unlike depression. “If you have a mental illness, this is not a bad one to have,” said Monson. It is one of the most treatable mental disorders, yet many people do not seek help. When Manning first sought clinical help, she was prescribed depression medications. The more pills she popped, the more numb she became

to her memories. Though her paranoia eased, she still felt she was not confronting the problem. “Taking the meds was like shoving dirt under the rug. Outwardly I didn’t seem affected, but the issue was still there,” said Manning. “You have to ask yourself: do I want to do symptom management for the rest of my life, or do I want to go after what caused this problem so that I can have my life back?” said Monson, Ryerson’s associate professor and director of clinical training in psychology, from her new office in Jorgenson Hall. After receiving her PhD from the University of Nebraska, Monson started researching and conducting individual therapy sessions for patients suffering from the illness. Recognizing a need for PTSD treatment that caters to the interpersonal effects of the disorder, Monson has dedicated the past 10 years of her research to developing a new form of couple’s treatment. In 2000, she began piloting the PTSD couple’s therapy in Vermont. She treated former Vietnam War veterans and

their wives with great success. Monson moved treatment to the University of Boston where she opened the therapy to all couples, a large percentage being Iraq war veterans. One of her patients, having been deployed to Iraq as a sergeant in the U.S. Marines, witnessed a child and adult who had been killed and mutilated by insurgents. This image stuck with him after returning from combat. He felt disconnected with his wife. He became controlling, coldhearted and sexually inactive in his marriage. As a consequence, his wife grew depressed and frustrated, carrying the burden of her husband’s untreated PTSD, a common tension among couples affected by the disorder. War veterans are one of the most common groups of people who experience PTSD. Trapped by their memories, they are left to brood over flashbacks of gunfire, bombings and death. Since Canada first deployed troops to Afghanistan, the number of soldiers suffering from PTSD has more than tripled. Today, around 63 per cent of former soldiers suffer from the mental illness, according to new figures released by Veterans Affairs Canada. All PTSD patients and their significant others undergo the same therapy regardless of their trauma. Treatment consists of three stages. The first is the understanding phase, in which the therapist explains the process and provides couples with conflict management skills. The second stage aims to help the couple develop better communication skills since lack of expression is largely associated with PTSD. The third and final stage helps the couple develop a list of things they’ve been avoiding. Whether it is going out in public, physi-

cal affection or expressing emotions to each other, they are asked to do these things. Patients undergo 15 treatment sessions that are usually conducted within a three-month span. *Brad and *Katelyn, a student couple living in Boston, saw a flyer posted in a local library advertising the treatment and jumped on the opportunity for free therapy. During her early college years, Katelyn was sexually assaulted, a trauma that influenced her ability to express herself sexually and communicate in romantic relationships. Brad said the treatment enabled them to be more open with each other. In the past he often felt unable to confidently express his feelings to Katelyn without worrying about her reaction. “I’d be afraid to say things,” he said. “I’d be tiptoeing around a situation which would upset her even more.” Post-treatment, he feels more comfortable communicating his thoughts and concerns with her. Though Katelyn admitted she is still bothered by the memories, she no longer blames herself for what happened, and no longer avoids discussing her issues with Brad.

“Unfortunately I don’t have a memory eraser, or else I’d be a rich woman,” said Monson. “What we’re aiming for is that while you have the memory, it doesn’t have the same power over you.” Many of Monson’s patients blame themselves for the trauma they have experienced, a notion that treatment helps patients break away from. “We as westerners like to think we’re more powerful than our circumstance, and that we have control over them. But sometimes there are situations so

determined that it doesn’t matter what we do,” said Monson. In her experiences with couple’s treatment, Monson has seen many patients evolve from shattered beings to strong-

willed, expressive individuals. Instead of suppressing their problems, treatment forces patients to confront them in a comfortable environment. “Talk therapy should be the frontline treatment of this disorder,” said Monson, who believes that psychotherapy is twice as effective as medicine in the treatment of PTSD. Monson and her team deliver the therapy in the Psychology Research and Training Centre at 105 Bond. Therapy takes place in an average-sized office room with comfortable chairs and warm lighting. It is open to all sexual orientations, races and ethnicities. Treatment has recently opened to nonromantic couples like mothers and daughters, best friends and siblings. In hopes that clinicians across the globe will implement couple’s therapy program for those suffering from PTSD, Monson continues to devote her time to helping people overcome their traumas. “We need to push the envelope in terms of trying to help people who are not otherwise going to get help,” said Monson.

Rustling Leafs on the web Sports editor Anthony Lopopolo sits down with a Youtube sensation and one of Ryerson’s prospects in radio and television

photo courtesy facebook

Steve Glynn’s room has become an identifiable backdrop to most of his videos. Steve Glynn stumbles upon an early October issue of the Toronto Sun in 2007. He takes a quick glance, catches the paper’s cover, and is irritated by its headline, “Leafs, better luck next year.” Glynn recalls its bold-faced type, the way it appeared to jump into his face, and its unsettling effect on him as an avid fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Sun wouldn’t have made an impact on Glynn if it weren’t referring to the Leafs’ first game of the season — at the time, a 4-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators — as if it were its last. “That made me upset, that the Sun wrote the team off so early,” said Glynn, a fourth-year radio and television student. “In their defence, they ended up being right.” However, this incident had a more profound effect on Glynn’s career as an aspiring sports broadcaster. Like a mosquito bite, the publication incited Glynn to satisfy his itch: a desire to make his voice known. “I’m a goofy guy, and I like to get my opinion out there. I got my webcam May 2007 and started my YouTube account May 2007. I knew it would only be a matter of time before I started some sort of video blog, I just didn’t know what it would be on. I knew something would catch my interest.” He posted videos on the first two games of that season and noticed that each got 50 views within the first couple of days. That proved to be a great feat for the Ryerson student, who regarded

it as a breakthrough moment in his budding career. That was then. Now, he has surpassed 1 million total views on YouTube after producing video blogs for three seasons. His online segment, entitled Leafs Fan Reaction, has been featured on Yahoo! Sports and remains a fixture in the hockey blogging universe. YouTube Canada grabbed a hold of Glynn’s viral phenomenon as well, highlighting one particular video that eventually garnered some 40,000 views. “I told people about [my first videos] and said, ‘Hey, it reached 50 views.’ And now, when I post a video, 40 people have seen it before I have. And that’s weird to me. If I wanted to comment first on my own video, I’d be one of those losers that wasn’t actually first. I don’t know how people beat me to it.”

If my videos make it more pleasurable for the fan, that’s cool. —Steve (Dangle) Glynn SteveDangle, as his moniker goes, brings a blue-collar and humorous vibe to his coverage of the Leafs. As his viewership broadened, he has encouraged other video bloggers to respond to his videos on Leafspace.com. Glynn even caught the attention of Leafs TV, where he’ll be interning next year. “I try to think of funny things. Some-

times, I watch [Leafs games] and all I have to do is tell you what happened to get a laugh. And with the Leafs, you have to laugh. Especially this season.” With the NHL draft set yearly in late June, Glynn took advantage of his extra time in the summer and set up interviews with prospects from the OHL and WHL. “These players are getting trained to be media savvy and I was trying to train myself on how to interview them,” he said. That gave him an opportunity to communicate with hockey players on an unconventional level, touching on their looser sides and treating them simply as human beings. “People don’t want to hear boring answers. I think people want to hear about the players’ lives a little more. I think they want to hear about how (Leafs prospect) Nazem Kadri is going to get to the NHL, but they may also want to see him race a car,” he said. As for his potential longevity as a video blogger, Glynn hopes people continue to comment and spur debates over his videos. And in Toronto, where sports teams are objects of despair, Glynn takes solace in giving sports fans a place to take refuge. “I absolutely feel that I have a duty to get videos out there. One of the most common comments I get is, ‘This season has been so hard to watch, but at least I get to watch your videos and laugh a little.’ If my videos make it more pleasurable for the fan, that’s cool.”

Forget the weddings, crash conventions instead BY AMANDA CUPIDO ARTS AND LIFE EDITOR

This wasn’t the only time Angew was pantless.

To the right is a cake shaped like a set of breasts. To the left, a giant wall of dildos. Ass-spanking, dry humping and nipple whipping can be heard from all directions. Even in the midst of a sex-filled environment, it’s hard to ignore the two guys dressed up as a penis and a cat. The people in costume, Jason Agnew and Matt Chin, are there for a strategic reason. The Conventioneers, a half-hour show on BITE TV, follows Agnew and Chin as they crash conventions. On Nov. 21 they were at the All About Sex Show at the Exhibition Place where they interviewed porn stars, modeled underwear and examined dildos with lights and beads. Agnew, a Ryerson radio and television arts graduate, is the executive producer of BITE TV and co-host and producer of The Conventioneers. “A lot of people in the convention world take themselves too seriously,” says Agnew. “That’s the root of our show.” With over 50 episodes completed, this is their third time at the sex show. Agnew starts off by interviewing Uncle D, the Canadian ass man. Dressed as a lumberjack, Uncle D prides him-

self on knowing how to perfectly smack asses. He lets Agnew practice spanking the two girls at his station: one with a slender black one-piece outfit and the other in a red one-piece that accentuates her curves and booty. Agnew then turns and asks the ladies to inspect his ass. “I want a girl to smack it and for it to jiggle for days,” he says. The girls laugh and tell him he needs to fatten up.

Don’t study harder, study better by michael duncan

Pop a piece of Wrigley’s and prepare to feel smarter. Research suggests chewing gum may help to make people smarter by improving memory, brain performance and providing stress relief. While it doesn’t help concentration, chewing gum raises your heart rate to let more oxygen and nutrients into the brain. It also triggers the production of insulin, which stimulates a part of the brain involved with memory. text: kelsey wingerak • photos: chris dale

According to a 1999 California study on schoolchildren, students who took classes in rooms with more natural light performed about 25 per cent better on standardized tests than other students. It’s not clear why sunlight boosts test scores, but some believe it might improve eyesight and mood.

Exams always seem so far off, but that calculus exam that was once months away is now within weeks. Now you’re staring at homework you should have done ages ago. “Procrastination is still the main problem for me, but I’m improving,” said Emerald Lacaille, a first-year child and youth care student who also gets nervous before exams. “I’m usually studying in the few hours before the exam,” said Shawn Pena, a third-year information technology management student. “I know what material to study but I just can’t get down to study.” However, Ryerson’s Learning Success Centre offers a bunch of services that help students learn how to make hitting the books a little easier. “Time management is the main issue when it comes to exam time,” said Marlyn Husbands, a learning skills strategist at the centre. “If students are able to manage their time, then the next main problem is memorizing or understanding the material. “Students could be concerned about doing well on the assignment and then they procrastinate and they are unable to accomplish it.” As well, the centre offers consultations with strategists who have already experienced and successfully dealt with the study problems many students stuggle with.

Through these meetings, students can identify their learning style, which is another key to improved studying. “By understanding their learning style they can work on their strengths in order to be successful and also be aware of what their weaknesses are so they can work on them or develop their strengths in that area,” said Husbands. For visual learners, she suggested study aids such as cue cards, diagrams and concept maps. “Your notes shouldn’t be pages with words on them,” said Husbands. Auditory learners also need to take good notes. “Have a study partner to talk about certain concepts or chapters and who you can bounce some ideas off of,” Husbands said. For the active or kinesthetic learner, she suggested asking questions in class as well as participating in study groups. “I think all students entering postsecondary education especially at a university level need to know, and it would be advantageous to know, their learning style,” said Husbands. Being rested and well fed is also very important before an exam, she said, but in the end it comes down to whether you began studying two days or two weeks before. “I don’t really get nervous to get my marks,” said Lacille. “I get what I worked for.” The Learning Success Centre is located in the Victoria Building at VIC B15.

Leo Li, a first-year travel and tourism management student, does what a lot of you can probably relate to. “I tend to have a cigarette or two...or three, before I start studying; it helps me relax...at least I think,” said Li. — Manley Huynh

Lesia Polischuk, first-year nutrition and food student, has used mind maps since Grade 12. They include images, arrows and notes. “Drawing things out and organizing it makes a pathway,” she said. — Amanda Cupido
