H1N1 spreads to Ryerson

The Eyeopener• 3

A displaced World BY VANESSA GRECO

Ryerson has finally secured its doorstep on Yonge Street but not everyone in the area is laying out the welcome mat. In late July, Ryerson paid $2.45 million for World of Posters, a shop on Yonge Street whose former neighbours, Future Shop and Sam the Record Man, were nabbed by the university over a year ago. Within the year, the poster-store and former Future Shop will be demolished to make room for the Student Learning Centre (SLC), a multi-purpose building intended for the corner of Yonge and Gould Streets to include retail and study

Ryerson’s library will also be expanded. “We had to secure World of Posters as one last step in that,” said president Sheldon Levy, adding that the structure is leaning on the hollowed out Future Shop. “The university either had to shore the building up or buy it,” he said. Now Ryerson executives have turned their attention towards finding an architect for the SLC. Their decision will be announced in October, around the

same time World of Posters is expected to move into their new location at 664 Queen St. W. “The new location won’t be as busy. I guess as a staff member, not being on Yonge Street will be easier for me,” said Keenan Tamblyn, a sales associate at World of Posters. “But we aren’t exactly happy we have to move,” he adds. “It’s kind of like we’re being kicked out.” Tamblyn may not be far from the truth. Earlier this summer, an expropriation notice for World of Posters released by Ryerson appeared in the Globe and Mail and Toronto Star. Expropriation involves seizing private property with government intervention. According to Linda Grayson, vicepresident administration and finance, it never came to that and Ryerson paid fair market value for the property. “There was no bargaining,” she said. “I mean, everyone asks for more money when you’re selling something, but it’s hard to argue that we should pay more money when you consider square footage.” Back at World of Posters, Don Ajith stands behind the same counter he’s stood at for more than a decade, showing a customer a catalogue of posters. Ajith has spoken out against Ryerson’s presence on Yonge Street before, but today he declines to speak with the media, only saying that the store’s lease is up on Jan. 6, 2010 — three months later than Ryerson would like them to move out.

Ryerson’s hoping to get Alsop in January. PHOTO: Alsop Architects BY RODNEY BARNES

World-renowned architect Will Alsop might be stepping foot on campus as early as this semester to give Ryerson’s architecture program a leg up. In 2000, Alsop won the Stirling Prize for the Pekham Library in London. He’s also known locally for his work on OCAD’s tabletop building. Right now he’s working on two subway extensions. Mohamed Lachemi, interim dean of architecture, is looking forward to exposing his masters architecture students to someone with international experience. “He has a very unique sign in terms of architecture,” said Lachemi. Lachemi said they are still in negotiations with Alsop, but he is hoping to have the architect give a public lecture

later this semester and work on masters’ theses part-time as well. Some may have expected Alsop to sign on with the University of Toronto’s architecture department, but the ‘starchitect’ is known for cheering on the underdog. “I like the graduate department at Ryerson because it’s fairly young,” said Alsop in an August Toronto Star article. If negotiations work out, Daniel Beasse, a second-year masters architecture student, could benefit from Alsop’s input on his thesis next semester. Alsop would be “looking at it from a different perspective,” said Beasse. However, Beasse doesn’t expect to benefit immediately from the glow of Alsop’s reputation. He thinks that would take time to develop. “I think it will be interesting,” he said.

No jobs leave students scrambling Jelena Djurkic explores how cash-crunched students are coping with empty pockets

THEEYEOPENER.COM

Hailey Easton is frustrated. The fourth-year child and youth care student spent the entire summer looking for a job in her field. After sending out 20 resumes, only two potential employers called her back. Two interviews later, Easton was still jobless. “They said it was because of a lack of experience. How are students supposed to get into the field out of school when they don’t have the same experience as someone in it?” Eventually, Easton began applying for jobs outside her field. “I branched off looking for basically anything I could get,” she said. This summer, students across the country found themselves with similar summer job woes. According to Statistics Canada, the student unemployment rate rose to 20.9 per cent in July, the second highest level since 1977 — a seven per cent jump from last year. The average hours worked by students was at a record low, at only 23.4 hours a week. Ishnoor Baidwan, a second-year business management student, sent out 15 job applications at the beginning of summer. Like Easton, he received only two responses. Baidwan eventually found a position at a warehouse. It paid $11 per hour but lasted only one week. With a tuition bill over $4,500, his summer job hardly helped with his educational expenses. After a summer of plummeting job prospects, Ryerson has seen a 10 per cent increase in financial aid applications this year. The dwindling summer job market was “likely a contributing factor,” said Carole Scrase, manager of student financial assistance. Cash-crunched students can look to Ryerson for help. According to Scrase, the $15.5 million in financial assistance doled out this year will allow Ryerson hire more students and assure student bursaries, awards and scholarships from endowed funds. With the new school year underway, Easton found work as a sales associate at Aerie, a lingerie store. On top of that, she’s taken on another job as

Admin charges up at Rye BY SARA VOSSOUGHI

Not only are students paying more for tuition, some administrative charges are up by as much as 33 per cent. The charge increases proposed by the registrar’s office were approved by the Board of Governors this spring and took effect this fall. The fees for applying to Ryerson, fee receipts and special letters increased, some jumping by as much $15. “We’re trying to balance a variety of service objectives,” said registrar, Keith Alnwick. “We’re seeing a dramatic increase in demand for this kind of service,” he said of Ryerson’s increased applications. He pointed out that Ryerson received over 68,000 applicants for undergraduate spots at Ryerson this fall, second in Ontario only to the University of Toronto. While Liana Salvador, vice president education of the Ryerson Students’ Union was unaware of the fee increases, she’s not surprised. “We know that government under funding is a serious problem, especially in Ontario,” she said. Amongst the rising fees, Alnwick has one piece of good news. “We have not changed the transcript fee in quite some time... and we’re not going to,” he said.

Hailey Easton handed out 20 resumes this summer. a bartender/usher at the Harbourfront Centre — a position she found through friends. “That helped,” said Easton. “It’s not in my field and I think someone in the industry would have been more qualified.” Philip Lim, director of the career development and employment centre said, “Networking is key. When young people think of jobs, they think of the Internet. It only has an effectiveness rate of seven per cent.” He also recommends using Ryerson’s work study program to find jobs on campus. Out of 800 positions offered this year, 580 are still available, said Lim. Meanwhile, Easton has an interview coming up

for a residential treatment program, a job related to her field. She’s unsure of whether she’ll be able to drop one of her existing jobs. “It’s really tough, it puts me in a really hard position where I have to put that many more hours in,” said Easton. Despite the discouraging summer job hunt, she remains optimistic . “Hopefully after this interview, things will change.”

CSG slams RSU for funding cuts

Murderer sentenced to life In July, Arssei Hindessa was sentenced to life in prison for the May 2006 murder of Ryerson student, Natalie Novak. Hindessa, now 33, was found guilty of second-degree murder. He will be eligible for parole in 18 years for stabbing 20year-old Novak.

Former members of the community service groups (CSG) are rallying against the Ryerson Students’ Union (RSU) in a campaign to restore their funding, fearing that some budget cuts will hurt them in delivering services to students. “Our main goal is to restore adequate funding to the service groups so that services can be decent for the students,” said Jesse Trautmann, who started the campaign early September. The Drop-Fees, Not CSGs campaign also wants the assistant positions to be reverted back to coordinators so they have more to do campaigns and events. The budget’s biggest change regarding CSG was cuts to their wages ranging up to 50 per cent, with RyePride being cut by about 67 per cent. The Working Students’ Centre (WSC) was hit the hardest with cuts of more than 75 per cent, although staff was reduced to one part-time employee from three last year. “Last year we felt that we were underfunded, but now they’re just cutting even more,” says Karen Warren, who was with the Women’s Centre last year and joined the campaign. The duo says that the RSU has the money, yet is cutting it’s total budget by 36 per cent. Toby Whitfield, VP finance and services, said that salaries were cut back because the RSU didn’t receive funding from the government for workstudy this summer. As a result, no summer staff were hired this year to ensure that spending was in line. Only the Community Food Room was opened for the summer and a six-week RyePride position

Ashley Mathew, who worked at the Women’s Centre, said that the $10 wage work-study job wasn’t enough for the hours of work she put in. This year, RSU work-study positions are at $10.75. “Students aren’t going to notice a difference this year, the services are still there,” said Whitfield. “Their funding is where it needs to be. They’ll still get funding for events, promotions, operations and resources.” Compared to last year’s budget, the funding for them remained relatively the same, except for Ry-

Typically they apply for about six or eight, but Whitfield says this year the RSU only got funding for one and a half positions. Normally, the RSU budgets around $5,000 to $6,000 for summer wages. “So we’ve basically reduced staff all across, but we are still able to keep services open in the summer and keep things running,” Whitfield said.

Inspection threatens to pull CKLN off the air By Vanessa Greco

After a year mired in controversy, CKLN 88.1 FM is at risk of losing their broadcasting license. On Sept. 15, an inspector from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commissions (CRTC) flew in from Ottawa to assess the station that violated their license agreement by broadcasting dead air for several weeks.

Briefs & Groaners

Right now, CKLN is airing pre-recorded programming while its brand new board of directors — elected on July 24 — prepares to relaunch the station, notorious for a long history of infighting between management and board members. Ron Nelson, interim chair of the newly appointed CKLN board of directors, thinks the CRTC inspection will be a catalyst for change. “It’s a disciplinary measure that we needed,” he

said, adding that he’s confident CKLN will hang onto its license and be back on the airwaves between Oct. 1 and 15. In the meantime, all listeners can do is wait. The CRTC will make their decision within two weeks, said Peter Toh, treasurer of CKLN’s new board. “Our license renewal comes up in 2014,” said Toh. “But like a driver’s license, it can be pulled at any time.”

No funding available for special needs mentoring group By avary lovell

Kateryna Aksenchuk chose to attend Ryerson three years ago because the university had a Best Buddies chapter. But after school started, she realized it wasn’t a recognized campus group. The five-year-old chapter pairs students and individuals with intellectual disabilities based on similar interests. But it doesn’t have club status because it’s not recognized by the Ryerson Students’ Union (RSU). Aksenchuk, co-campus co-ordinator of the group, said it has 20 members but it’s difficult to recruit and function as a group without RSU support. “We have no funding, can’t book a room, can’t put up a poster, all because we don’t have club

status,” she said. Once paired, buddies talk once a week and meet at least twice a month to do anything from coffee to going for a run. There are four group events a year that require meeting space. “You’ve got to understand, Ryerson students are involved. I don’t understand why York, U of T, McMaster all have this program [acknowledged]… so why shouldn’t we have that status?” said co-campus coordinator, Samiksha Singh. Best Buddies is not an academically-based group and doesn’t fit the requirements in this category, said Lise de Montbrun, RSU VP student life and events, which is why it can’t get funding. Affiliate groups include chapters of external organizations and are usually academically ori-

space through RSU. Aksenchuk felt if other chapters, such as Engineers Without Borders, are included then so should hers. “I talked to anyone I could. I talked to the president (of RSU). I was told it would be brought up in meetings and I thought I could go to bed at least knowing that was happening. But nothing was done.” De Montbrun said there have been a handful of groups seeking status, such as Meal Exchange and Free the Children. A draft policy will be discussed at the next RSU board meeting on Oct. 13. De Montbrun said if the motion gets passed, groups eligible for the new category will be contacted to re-apply for status.

Working Students’ Centre to be revamped by shirley lin

The Ryerson Students’ Union (RSU) is silencing the Working Students’ Centre (WSC) by shutting it down, leaving the group without its own office this fall, say former members. “It’s not okay to cut the Working Students’ Centre,” said Robert Heydari, who was coordinator two years ago. “If there’s a problem, they should be fixing that.” Instead, it will be occupied by the new Students Against Racism group, created last January. However the WSC, a community service group that promotes student labour rights, will still be operating through the RSU office staffed by a part-time and full-time worker. Heydari said that there’s a conflict of interest

in their work advocating for workers’ rights and having the RSU as boss. He added that the students who sought advice from the centre were often those who had RSU work-study jobs and the centre wanted to plan a campaign about it. “WSC had identified a program that the RSU was exploiting…so they needed to neuter us,” said Heydari. “The Working Students’ Centre is not being taken over,” said Liana Salvador, VP education. “We’re shifting the work to our office which is where we operate a number of our other services.” Former colleagues Karen Warren and Jessica Ponting say that removing the WSC from the list of service groups from the student handbook and lack of advertising space in it, along with los-

ing an independent working space, is a sign that they’re being shut down. “We found that it was very underutilized,” said Toby Whitfield, VP finance and services. “Not many students were actually visiting the centre...therefore this year, we decided to convert that space into the new Students Against Racism office. There won’t be a physical office, but if students want information, we’ll make it available in the second floor lounge.” The former members also said the RSU has ignored their issues which were brought up at last year’s board meeting. Ex-members felt their campaigns were unrelated to their work. Salvador agrees there were WSC-related campaign issues. “Not enough campaigns were done last year, so we need to do more work,” she said.

RAMSS survey to curb flunk-outs By dominique lamberton

Students noticed something a bit different when logging onto RAMSS last week. Rather than being directed to their RAMSS account, students were asked an enrollment question that had to be answered before proceeding. They were asked whether they planned to attend their enrolled classes or whether they would take appropriate steps to drop the classes. Keith Alnwick, Ryerson’s registrar, said it’s to provide the university with more information about students enrolled in fall studies. Nora Farrell, Ryerson’s ombudsperson, said students may be unaware that by not attending enrolled classes, it can result in a failure for nonattendance and huge bills. Last year’s Ombudperson’s Report recommended that additional efforts be made to alert students at the point of registration of the importance of cancelling their registration. Farrell said she wants students to avoid a “semester full of FNA’s (Failure Non-Attendance) on their academic record and a substantial debt.” Alnwick said a huge number of students have already responded and the university will be following up with those students who do not respond. “I was a little caught off guard because I was just expecting to sign on to RAMSS as usual, but I answered the question assuming it was probably just an administrative thing,” said Engelina Schmitz, a third-year interior design student. Alnwick said that students have always been academically and financially responsible for their courses they’re enrolled in and this questionnaire doesn’t change that.

Spending the night with RyeSERT Reporter Alexandra Macaulay Abdelwahab spends a night on call with Rye’s student emergency team. It’s 11 p.m. on a Saturday. As most Pitman Hall residents head out for the night, two members of the Ryerson Student Emergency Response Team (RyeSERT) discover a student lying on her dorm room floor. She’s just fallen off a table and is complaining of a sore back. Fearing the worst, RyeSERT springs into action, strapping her to a spine board and putting her on a stretcher. Fortunately, it was a demonstration and not a real emergency. But now that RyeSERT, a first-aid team run by student volunteers, is dispatched by Ryerson security, this is exactly what they could run into on the job. No calls came in while The Eyeopener shadowed RyeSERT but two emergency calls came in early on Sunday morning. As of move-in day, RyeSERT has provided 24hour coverage in all residences and the Ram in the Rye. When security receives a medical emergency call in these areas, they dispatch RyeSERT members to assist with the call. “It’s important that students are responding,” said Gabriel Lazdins, RyeSERT’s director. “A student is not going to confide in a security guard about drug or alcohol abuse because they’ll be afraid of getting in trouble, when they should be worried about getting the medical help they need.” Caitlin Lusk, a first-year film student who lives in Pitman Hall agrees. “We’ll trust them more because they don’t carry a badge and can’t reprimand us,” she said. Many students have already approached RyeSERT members with their medical conditions which are now kept on a list in their office, said Lazdins. RyeSERT had been trying to reach an agreement with the university to provide coverage across

The university was reluctant to sign because they were afraid of problems with liability, according to Lazdins. RyeSERT is not allowed to administer drugs on campus although the organization is recognized by Toronto EMS and certified to administer 11 different drugs including injectable Gravol, Epinephrine and Ventolin for asthma attacks. “It’s unfortunate because if someone is suffering from an allergic reaction, diabetic coma or heart

attack, we can’t treat it,” said Lazdins. Despite problems in the past, there have not been any conflicts between RyeSERT and security this year. “So far it’s been really great. Most of the RyeSERT people have a high level of training, comparable to ours. It basically just means we have an extra set of hands” said Imre Juurlink, supervisor of security and emergency services. The team has taken up office on the second floor

of Pitman Hall and have a stretcher, spine board and two medical kits at the ready at all times. Two RyeSERT members sleep over every night so the office also has a bunk bed. “Whenever there are students in the building, we’re here,” said Lazdins. “Residence is pretty nutty on the weekends and a lot of students are probably getting hurt or getting alcohol poisoning,” said Lee Jones, a first-year graphic communications management student.

Find your class on a map, call your professor, book a study room and check what’s happening on campus for the day – all with only a few taps or clicks on your phone. The future is here Ryerson, and it’s available in two colour schemes. Ryerson Mobile launched Monday, Sept. 14, offering students smartphone-friendly access to campus news, maps, computer availability, the library catalogue and more. It can be accessed from mobile browsers at http://m.ryerson.ca. “It’s a mobile portal to your whole campus experience,” said Graham McCarthy, 26. McCarthy

The kind of neat thing is we’re not sure what will come out of this. –Brian Lesser, assistant director of CCS is a library system analyst at Ryerson and part of the development team that designed and programmed Ryerson Mobile. Also on the team are Ayu Er, a recent computer

science graduate, and Ryan Kent and Adam Carlucci, both fourth year new media students. They spent the summer creating Ryerson Mobile as a work-study program. With so many smartphones on the market, the team decided to make Ryerson mobile web-based rather than developing applications for the iPhone or BlackBerry. Now virtually any mobile device can access Ryerson Mobile. The mobile site looks sleekest on Android phones and iPhones, with the information website, http://www.ryerson.ca/rmobile, having a familiar Apple feel. The site is also optimized for Blackberry with a list view. Most regular cell phones can access Ryerson Mobile from their browsers and should get a text-based version. The seeds of Ryerson Mobile were planted back in November 2008 when the library ran an undergraduate survey. They found that 76 per cent of students had cell phones and 21 per cent had smartphones. Thirty-nine per cent said their next phone would be a smartphone. “As a student it excites me knowing that I’m helping other students,” said David Sistilli, Director of Digital Media Projects for Ryerson’s branch

of Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE). Focus groups ran last June by SIFE Ryerson showed that students were looking for more than just library services, they wanted a portal to their total Ryerson life. This brought the project to Brian Lesser, assistant director of Ryerson Computing and Communications Services (CCS). CCS provided access to RAMSS and software on campus computers that allows Ryerson Mobile to show users which ones are available for use. CCS was also responsible for providing the security that Ryerson mobile would need if it was going to be accessing student’s accounts. Everyone involved with developing Ryerson Mobile wants it known that this is only the beginning. “The kind of neat thing is we’re not sure what will come out of this,” said Lesser. In the future Ryerson Mobile could include location-based functionality, athletics information and finances. Some things are already in development, some are still ideas, but expansion is inevitable. Tools are being created that would allow even students without programming knowledge to add their own functions.

MAPLE LEAF GARDENS

The worst kept secret on campus amit shilton

editor-in-chief

Talking to Ryerson administration about Maple Leaf Gardens is like talking to a teenage girl about a secret crush. Just drop the name of the historic arena and they squirm anxiously in their seats, knowing smiles growing across their faces. The biggest grin came from Ryerson’s biggest cat, Sheldon Levy. Standing with him in his office one night after a board meeting, Levy was playing his own ver-

sion of SimCity. Looking out the picture window of his office in the sky, he raised his arm and point to different points in the city. Levy said construction on the Sears parking lot was starting to look less likely after talks about the site began to stall. Maybe we’ll put our new athletics centre on the site of a Toronto Community Housing building, maybe at Maple Leaf Gardens. Hearing the historic arena was back on the discussion table ­ — after talks were thought to be dead — sent us on a chase. Ian Hamilton, director of campus planning and facilities, grinned knowingly when pressed about the Gardens. When asked about the prospect of

partnering with Toronto Community Housing, Hamilton said he didn’t know a thing. If the man in charge of campus planning doesn’t know anything, it’s not happening. If Ryerson does go ahead with the Toronto Community Housing project, athletic director Ivan Joseph said there wouldn’t be room for a new arena. Without a rink closer to campus, he warned the school might cut the hockey program. Ryerson hockey coach Graham Wise is the top paid coach in athletics. Stephanie White, our women’s hockey coach, brings with her national credibility. Levy, who is able to recite the entire roster of the 1967 Maple Leafs, is a huge hockey

fan. Under Levy’s watch, hockey should be safe from extinction. Talk of the university owning the former Maple Leafs home was nothing new to the city’s politicians either. Toronto Centre MP Bob Rae said it would be a match made in heaven. George Smitherman, the riding’s MPP and strongly rumoured mayoral candidate, told us how he’d love to take his kids skating on the rink. His staff even sent us his picture posing in front of the Gardens. When we got a hold of Loblaw, the current owners of Maple Leaf Gardens, the supermarket giant told us they still plan on putting a store in the building. That doesn’t mean Ryerson is out of

luck. Levy has a history of partnering with the private sector (see: our business building) and there’s plenty of room for both a supermarket and athletics centre. Plus, the school would need to form some kind of partnership if it were to have a chance at affording the cost. On a walk around the arena, we ran into a worker who was laying a fresh sheet of ice. The ice was for the CBC’s new show Battle of the Blades, which will be filmed inside the Gardens. Leaving Levy’s office that night, I reminded him what a dream it would be to watch the Rams light up the Gardens one more time. He shone that familiar smile one more time and chuckled. “It’s never impossible,” he said.

The pursuit of Carlton’s cathedral

Ryerson has had its eye on owning Maple Leaf Gardens ever since the Leafs moved out in 1999. But the Gardens has proved to be a costly cougar to court, leaving it derelict for the past decade. The history of Ryerson’s relationship with Maple Leaf Gardens is the story

of a young suitor courting a fickle, and very pricey, older woman. The Gardens have gone up for sale time and again, and each time Ryerson has hesitated to make the move. The first opportunity came in fall 1999, when developers approached then-Ryerson president Claude Lajeunesse with plans to rent out space within the Gardens to the university. Lajeu-

nesse had been looking a long time to establish a new business building, and the upper portion of the Gardens would have been large enough to house the business school as well as student residences. Below them the arena would have been used for the hockey and basketball teams. An architect’s study completed a year later determined the move to be too

expensive. As part of its heritage status the roof and exterior walls of the Gardens must remain intact, but this also includes the bleachers holding up those walls from the inside. According to the review, on-campus development would have been cheaper than renovating the Gardens. Loblaw, one of the few bidders for the property, purchased the Gardens

in 2003 and planned to install a Superstore. Only three months later, Loblaw put the Gardens back on the market after considering the property too expensive to renovate. Ryerson moved in for the purchase, but backed away from negotiations. The elusive lady remained just out of Ryerson’s financial grasp. But it did not leave its mind. When

A comeback for the Gardens, a win for the community by amanda cupido

The Golden Griddle across the street from Maple Leaf Gardens used to have a dinner rush and a line-up out the door. “It was crazy when the Gardens was open,” said Jasmine Dick, assistant manager. “It’s so sad seeing it shut down like this.” Business isn’t great at Golden Griddle these

days, but if the Gardens were to reopen it might go back to the way it used to be. “It would mean more hours and better tips,” said Dick. “And it would give lots of people jobs.” With the chance of Maple Leaf Gardens reopening as an arena, it would not only give the businesses around it a boost, but it would allow for a part of Toronto’s history to come back to life. “Maple Leaf Gardens is an icon in the city,”

said Bob Rae, MP for Toronto Centre. “It has been empty for a number of years now. An athletics facility would be a great use for it.” George Smitherman, Deputy Premier, agrees it would be an “enormous boost” for the city to have it open again. “As a potential father-to-be, it’d also be great to take my kids ice-skating there,” he said. Other kids within the city would benefit as well. Paul Lewicki, historian and ice co-ordinator for the Toronto Marlboros hockey club, said that Toronto has limited ice space in the downtown core. “We are dying for more ice,” he said. “And when you put the history into it, it would be a treat.” Lewicki said that the Marlboros started prac-

tising at the Gardens since the day it opened and remembers his teams getting off the ice as the Toronto Maple Leafs got on. “It used to be quite a home for us,” said Lewicki. “We don’t have that advantage anymore.” While working in the Golden Griddle, Dick sees people taking pictures in front of the Gardens all the time. “We get tourists coming in and asking us what it used to be and what it’s being turned into,” said Dick. “We have no answers but it would be nice to have answers.” These answers may be coming sooner than she thinks. —With files from Carys Mills and Vanessa Greco

Sheldon Levy took over the helm in 2005, he made his intentions towards the heritage site very clear. “I would love to buy Maple Leaf Gardens,” he said in an interview. “I know it’s been sold, but if we had a chance to get it back for varsity and intramural hockey, community skating, and maybe a chance to combine it with something like student housing I would leap at that opportunity.” He met with Loblaw to talk about these possibilities but the company rebuffed him; they were determined to go ahead with their plans of a Superstore. Mayor David Miller also liked Loblaw’s proposals, and going against him would have made future development for Ryerson more difficult. Even if the arena were open to host the Ram’s hockey games, a price tag of $4-5,000 per game would be too much for the athletics department. Were Ryerson to own the Gardens, however, we might all wish for the same magic that brought repeated victory to the men’s hockey team back in 1968, a time when championships were plenty and their home turf was shared with the Maple Leafs.

Bringing the banner back home by anthony lopopolo

It’s where Ali fought Chuvalo, where Canada beat the USSR and where the Toronto Maple Leafs celebrated 11 Stanley Cup victories. Now it can be host to the first ever Ryerson championship. Maple Leaf Gardens holds prestige, history and iconic status. But the vaunted arena is also a few minutes away from campus and that may be the most alluring aspect for Ryerson athletes eager to

I’ve told my guys we can’t continue to have hockey without a rink. – Ivan Joseph, Athletic Director finally enjoy a true home game. Playing out of George Bell arena – a good 40 minute commute from campus – the men’s hockey team, for one, haven’t been able to strive. The commute to the arena not only makes it difficult for fans to fill the empty bleachers, it’s also tough for the team to practice effectively. Despite bringing in notable hockey coach Graham Wise, the team has had a tough time luring

top athletes. Last year, they won only five times and had the second-worst record in the country. “It’s an incredible facility and the fact that it’s a two-minute walk from campus will generate more fans. Ryerson has been a commuter school for so long,” said Kevin Krasnowski, a fifth-year centre. “We as a hockey team are always stuck with commuting two hours for practice, so eliminating that would make it easier on everybody.” The change of scenery will also be a big boost to Ryerson’s emerging women’s hockey team and figure skating program. The figure skaters, who battle for ice time at Moss Park, are often forced to wake up before sunrise to practice. The building’s history and significance in the hockey world isn’t lost on Krasnowski. There is little doubt that approaching potential recruits with the opportunity to play at Maple Leaf Gardens could draw more than a few elite players. “Everyone knows about the history of the Gardens,” he said. “Not only would it make the school more appealing to high school graduates, but to (OHL) players who would want to play here. To play in it, in the heart of the city, having that arena would allow us to see a fresh flock of athletes every year.”

But Graham Wise, head coach of the men’s hockey team, also sees this as the next surge of a peaked interest in athletics at Ryerson. Wise believes the passing of April’s athletic referendum ushered in that kind of response. “Not only would Maple Leaf Gardens help varsity athletes, but also the student body,” he said. The arena could also save the future of hockey and soccer at Ryerson. Athletic Director Ivan Joseph said hockey costs the school about $250,000 every year. If money continues to be pumped into those programs without a venue for home games, he has a hard time foreseeing their survival. “To me, I have two things that are major issues for me: a hockey team and a soccer team. Without either of those, we’ve got an issue,” he said. “I’ve told my guys we can’t continue to have hockey without a rink. We can’t continue to have soccer without a field.” And the Gardens, with the option of adding multiple floors, happens to have a large enough area to embrace that burden. “We’re always talking ice. We’re always talking indoor field turf because I would like to have, of course, all of those things. In my perfect world, I’d like to have it all in one spot.”

Why an athletics centre won’t be built anywhere else 1) Toronto Community Housing The city is planning to redevelop the area to include parks, and Levy said the school is trying to see if they can fit into those plans. But Joseph says the location would be big enough for only a few soccer fields. Any plans for an athletic centre will need to have a rink. 2) Sears parking lot The footprint of the parking lot is massive and allows Ryerson to build from scratch. But Levy says the school’s talks with the provincial government, who now own the building, have stalled in recent months. He also says he’s planning on making an announcement about the centre by the end of the month. Buying a massive plot of land won’t happen overnight or by the beginning of October, when an announcement is expected.

3) Moss Park Arena Ryerson could partner with the city to build a new community centre, but Levy isn’t here to share. Splitting time with an already busy community rink won’t solve the problem of lack of ice time for Ryerson’s hockey and figure skating teams.

Leaving his legacy Why Maple Leaf Gardens will mark Sheldon Levy’s time at Ryerson

– Bob Rae, MP Toronto Centre uses that phrase everywhere, but he really walks the walk.” Years before Levy began drawing attention to Ryerson, Maple Leaf Gardens drew crowds of wide-eyed hockey fans who’d line up around the building in anticipation for a game. The arena hosted 11 Stanley Cups and some of the most legendary musical talent of its time. Its walls are practically steeped in history — one thing that Ryerson could use a lot more of. “Ryerson owning Maple Leaf Gardens would be an enormous boost for the community,” said George Smitherman, MPP Toronto Centre and deputy premier.

The more exciting the venue, the more of a testament to his leadership.

While scoring the historic Gardens would give Ryerson the notoriety it needs to compete with its more prestigious counterparts like the University of Toronto, the purchase will undoubtedly secure Levy’s already sterling reputation as a leader. “The more exciting the venue, the more of a testament to his leadership,” said Bob Rae, MP Toronto Centre and former premier, referring to Levy and the Gardens as a match made in heaven. And rightfully so. During a recent interview with Levy regarding his interest in Maple Leaf Gardens, the president cocked his eyebrow playfully and offered to list off every single player on the Toronto Maple Leafs 1967 roster. Without hesitation he begins to list them all from memory — in order of their jersey numbers no less. Although Levy seems to have a knack for naming his own personal heros, he admits that when his term as president is up in 2015, he doesn’t care whether Ryerson remembers his own legacy, whatever that may be. “What would mean most to me is if in 15 years from now I’m walking around seeing students of that generation being proud of their university and thinking I contributed to that,” said Levy. “If it were Maple Leaf Gardens that did that… I’d get a kick out of that.”

K L<J;8P#EFM
It sounds like an unlikely pair. A man who has built his career on working towards the future, courting a building admired for its rich historical roots. But it’s possible. From his office at the top of Jorgenson Hall, Sheldon Levy can see Maple Leaf Gardens waiting on the corner of Church and Carlton Streets, unused for years now. As Ryerson winds into month six in its search for a new athletic facility, Levy admits the abandoned building is a serious option. On paper, many locations could satisfy Levy’s criteria for Ryerson’s new athletic facility. No stranger to real estate, Levy could easily sign off on any available building and demolish as necessary. But only Maple Leaf Gardens gives him the chance to do more than just build. It allows Levy to give Ryerson the style and charisma it so desperately lacks. And it couldn’t hurt his reputation either. The notoriety that would follow the purchase of Maple Leaf Gardens would cement Levy’s legacy. However, his admitted disinterest in having the new building named after him should already be enough to extinguish any doubts about his intentions. When he arrived in 2005, Levy found

his niche in expanding Ryerson’s campus. Creating a 20-year strategic vision for the university, Levy quickly took to work, announcing his plans to purchase Sam the Record Man and establish Ryerson’s doorstep on Yonge Street. “What he’s really done is brought Ryerson into being a city builder,” said Mitchell Kosny, Ryerson’s interim director of urban and regional planning. “He

Ryerson student and pop singer prepares for her first album by amanda cupido

Lauren Christoff was driving when she first heard her song “Won’t Stop” on the radio. She nearly drove off the road. “It was so surreal when it happened,” said Christoff, a second-year arts and contemporary studies student. “I’m still digesting it all.” The 20-year-old released her first single, in summer 2008 and made the Canadian Top 40 by August of that year. More recently, on Sept. 2, she performed the national anthem at Ryerson’s orientation basketball game. Now, she’s preparing to release her first album. The release date is set for this fall. “I still don’t know an exact date because school is starting,” said Christoff, who is currently enrolled in five courses and records in her spare time. Sometimes she finds herself in the studio until 3 a.m. so it can work with her schedule. “It’s tough,” said Christoff. “But because I want it so bad, it doesn’t bother me.” She needs to record two more songs before her album, Revealed, will hit stores. She was signed to the indie label Northern Heights Records after being approached in her hometown of Uxbridge, Ont. She had just performed as Carmen in the musical Fame. “I didn’t expect anything from it,” said Christoff. Before she knew it, she was in the studio recording a demo. “It all went so smoothly and so quickly,” said Christoff. “I didn’t have time to react.” Christoff wanted to be a singer for as long as she can remember. “As soon as I started talking, I started singing,” she said. “Karaoke was my life.” But even with all the experience, she still gets a bit shaky before singing in

Want action? Better luck next year by hilary hagerman

by harbi natt

Whether it’s George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr. or Pierce Brosnan, there’s something about those older men that girls just seem to love. Is it their success, sexual experience, or receding hair lines that draw girls in? For the past five months, Kate Paddison, a second-year arts and contemporary studies student, has dated a Ryerson graduate who is 10 years older than her. Do you think the age gap between you and your boyfriend affects your relationship at all? No, I don’t think it affects it at all. But maybe that’s because I’m just that mature. We get along and have fun, I don’t really think about the fact that he’s older. What attracted you to him? I’m not really sure. He just makes me laugh and we like the same music and stuff. I think that’s because he’s an old guy and I’m an old lady at heart. By that, I mean that I like older music and movies, so we have that in common. How did your friends react to the relationship? To be honest, the age difference didn’t matter to them because many of them have dated older guys as well. It was never an issue. He has no problem spending time with my friends, and that goes both ways. Why do you think girls are attracted to older guys in general? I think it’s because guys their own age aren’t mature enough. Girls always want to settle down and be in long term, committed relationships, and guys in university and college don’t seem to want that at all. *** Sociology professor Camille Hernandez-Ramdwar said that from a sociological point of view, it’d be more common for younger women to fall for older men. “The research has shown that women are attracted to a high income provider,” said Hernandez-Ramdwar. And society seems to give these couples the green light too. In general, women engage in hypergamy, explained HernandezRamdwar. In simple terms, they “marry up” by choosing mates who are prosperous and good providers.

Hey froshies, think you’re going to break in your mattress this year? If you’re planning on getting any, a new study may disappoint you. In his book Sex and Youth, Robert Altemeyer, a retired University of Manitoba psychology professor who surveyed his first-year students for over 20 years, found that first-years aren’t as oversexed as you might think. Altemeyer found that one quarter of the women and nearly half of the men surveyed said they were still virgins. It also revealed that many aren’t jumping into one-night stands — 23 per cent of guys and 49 per cent of girls waited until they were in serious relationships. Michael Allen, a former RA and Floor President at the ILLC, isn’t surprised. Although some students suffer from “freedom overload” during frosh week, most calm down soon after. “During frosh week, some students take the chance to test their limits when it comes to everything, including sex, but once school starts they get into their homework or start to get a little homesick,” he said. “It’s kind of a general opinion that first-years in rez are having sex, and I think there is a pressure to do it,” added Vassil Sabeb, 20, a first-year sociology student. “But really, a lot of people already have boyfriends or girlfriends, and it’s definitely not as crazy as some people make it out to be.” But if the study has you worried you’ll be left unsatisfied, Dr. Doreen Fumia, a Ryerson sociology prof who teaches Sexuality, Identity and Society, says that the results can’t be taken too seriously. “There are just as many studies that report the exact opposite,” she said. “From what I’ve seen, the study is done in a limited area, with mostly heterosexual relationships and there are nearly twice as many females as males. That cuts a whole slice out of the data.”

According to Statistics Canada, July 2009 held the highest student unemployment rate in its history at 20.9 per cent. Colin Fallowfield, sales manager at Watch It on Yonge St., said students should try to focus on being polite and well-groomed when dropping off resumes. “Be polite without being fake,” he said. Fallowfield suggested tweaking your resume to focus on related work experience for each position that you apply for. He also said to try and avoid putting

Rookie rower rides wave to championship by hilary hagerman

Two years ago, Matt Buie had never set foot in a rowboat. The then-third-year architecture student decided to give rowing a try when the captain of the rowing team – a friend from residence – asked him he if wanted to try something new. Buie started training in the fall and raced for the first time in May. Now, he’s a national champion. Buie, 22, reigned superior at the 127th Royal Canadian Henley Regatta in the U-23 men’s singles division. In the week-long event, which ran from Aug. 2 to Aug. 9, he placed second in his heat, first in the semi-final, and was victorious in the finals on Aug. 7. “Winning the Henley was absolutely amazing,” said Buie, who not only won, but also defeated his summer long rival, David Wakulich, who came in second. The two had been racing against each other all summer, and Wakulich had even placed first in the heat where Buie came second. “I had been chasing him down since the start of the summer, and this time I wasn’t going to let him beat me,” said Buie. “I pulled away right from the start, and soon I was a boat length ahead of him. I just wasn’t going

Photo: Sports and rec to give it up this time.” However, Buie’s success hasn’t been so easily handed to him. “The sport is a real competition to see who can pursue the longest and push the hardest,” said Buie. “When you’re in a single race, it’s a complete mental game where you’re saying, ‘I’m not going to let that guy catch me, and I’m going to beat him.’”

Rowing at the varsity level is time-consuming and a strenuous training schedule must be kept. Rowers usually train six or seven days per week, with sessions beginning as early as 6 a.m. “If you want, you can take a day off, but for most of us – especially when it gets close to race time – we just want to do seven days at a time.” It’s that work ethic and dedication that helped

Rams hand reins to local coach by anthony lopopolo

Roy Rana decided he’s finished with leading a perennial winner to the top of the high school circuit. Yet he hopes to feel the same way once he’s done his duty as head coach of Ryerson’s men’s basketball team. “He has a proven record of success, and there’s a general community buzz about him being picked,” said Ivan Joseph, Ryerson’s director of athletics. Recognized for his nine-year stint with Eastern Commerce Collegiate Institute in which he captured five OFSAA championships, Rana is not one to settle for mediocrity. He’s forged a close relationship with Canada’s national team and was recently instrumental in leading the Cadet Men’s National team to qualification in the 2010 U-17 world championship. But for Joseph, it’s Rana’s connection to the community that made him the most appealing candidate. “I heard from the Toronto District School Board, ‘The town is so excited Ryerson finally did this. They didn’t bring in an outside guy; they brought in one of their own.’ To me, that’s important,” Joseph said. “We’re the city’s university.” He also mentioned that Rana has the background and credibility to entice players across Canada and salvage the

We had a reputation of not practicing four days a week. So now, Roy comes in and says, ‘We’re changing that.’” And Rana has latched on to that sentiment, saying that he’s ready to launch this program to the height of top teams in the OUA. “The first step is to try to improve and develop a culture of winning here,” said Rana. “Many of those expectations

will be based on the approach that we take not only on the court, but off the court.” “I think all of that is in the details, and as long as we have a very committed group of guys who are willing to increase the level of effort in all aspects of the program, we’re going to be successful.” While he’s mindful that no major enhancements can be realized within the first year of his tenure, Rana is steadfast in his ambition to compete on a year-toyear basis. Despite the Rams’ 71-69 playoff loss to York last season, he noticed the makings of that change in mentality. “I think a two-point deficit in a loss is not a devastating loss because it implies you’re better than that,” said Rana. “For a team that hadn’t been to the playoffs in many, many years, I think we have to appreciate the fact that they did something special getting to a playoff game.” Boris Bakovic, the Rams all-star forward, is also beginning to warm up to his new coach. “He’s very clear with his communication, was well-received by the guys. And he’s our coach now, so we’re beginning to feel each other out,” he said. Rana is filling the coaching void left by Glenn Taylor, who was fired last season under undisclosed terms.

make Buie become such a great rower, said Ryerson rowing coach Dominic Kahn. “Matt loves rowing and he knows what he has to do to win,” said Kahn. “He shows up every day, does his workouts and puts excellent effort into them. He gets something out of it every day, and every day he gets a little better. ” Buie, who’s back for a fifth year at Ryerson, says rowing also stimulated his approach to academics. “When I started rowing, I thought it was going to be extremely tough to pull off both [rowing and school], but actually my grades went up,” he said. “Since you have your mind on rowing and then your mind on school, when you actually do your school work you’re really into it and focused.” Kahn believes Buie has become a beacon for the rest of the team. “When they see him win, they see how his dedication pays off. Everyone on the team is talented, but not everyone is as workman about it as Matt,” he said. Taking into account where he came from and how he developed, though, Buie is still grounded by modesty. “I wouldn’t say I’m an inspiration,” said Buie . “I don’t go out to set an example. I just want to show people that you don’t have to be a superstar.”

The beautiful game hurts Sports editor Anthony Lopopolo goes undercover at Ivan Joseph’s soccer tryout Diving towards a hard shot destined to break the goal line in an early tryout, I didn’t think I had a chance at making the save. Blindly, as if my instincts took over, the ball made contact with the joint of my elbow. Pressure released like a valve. Although the pain I’d come to feel merely a second later, following the pop of a firecracker in my upper arm, would be my undoing. But that’s the price I was willing to pay to establish myself not as some embedded reporter getting the scoop at the men’s soccer tryout at Cherry Beach, but as a potential goalkeeper. Having played the high school circuit, I’m no schlep to the game. I’m no provincial athlete, either. I already knew that 2006 OUA all-star goalie and veteran Anthony Volpe was better than me. In fact, as each player stated which clubs they played for before the tryout, I only said Richmond Hill, my native town. I didn’t boast any track record. I wasn’t bound by rep status. I first taught myself to play in my basement back when I was 8 and am proud of it. Still observing Volpe, who was performing leaps I couldn’t attempt off a diving board, I reevaluated

my competition. Shit. But I opted to trek on, suddenly realizing the sweltering heat that began to mount on top of my pulsating arm. The field-side trainer said I sustained no significant injury. Even until now, I beg to differ. Shaken by the knock – and whether I would aggravate it beyond overnight repair – I heaved a sigh of relief as shots whisked around my posts. The coaches seemed satisfied. It was especially gratifying to see that Ivan Joseph, the newly appointed coach of men’s soccer, was giving me some time on his radar. In the back of my head, I knew it was Joseph who compelled me to showcase whatever talent I had. He didn’t treat me like the sports editor of the Eyeopener. Through grit, I really wanted to lay it all out there. He gave me a willing chance. Well, my wish was granted in the shootout. At this point, I didn’t think my arm could take any more punishment. There I was, having balls tossed every which way toward goal, saving some while submitting to others. To my excitement, I got a nod of approval from Volpe.

Anthony Lopopolo gears up before testing himself in goal. Photo: matt Llewellyn And then it was over. Actually, it felt like the mercy rule kicked in, but the task was complete. All but one player knew about my being an undercover reporter, so I looked like any other hopeful on the pitch. I left my say. Damaged and bruised like a mishandled parcel, however, I had resigned from further tryouts. I had my pride.

Later, at the beginning of the season, I’d see the coach in his office. “How’s the arm?” he questioned. As I told him I fully recovered, he dropped a line that made me think. “We could really use a third goalie, you know.” Hm. Now understanding what it takes to be a keeper on an OUA side – and my own limitations as one – it was kind of him to say third.
