Gould Street shutdown set for Spring 2010 by shirley lin

The fight to close Gould Street is finally over. At least for one year. A temporary Gould Street closure was confirmed last week when Toronto community council rubber-stamped a year-long pilot project. The shutdown, slated for Spring 2010, is the result of a partnership between Ryerson and the city of Toronto. The plan has the support of Kyle Rae, city councillor for Toronto Centre-Rosedale. To celebrate the announcement, the Ryerson Students’ Union (RSU) rolled turf down Gould Street, closing it for over four hours on Sept. 22. Mayor David Miller, at Dundas Square the same day, seemed amused by the surprise shutdown. “I’m responsible for running the city so I can’t approve of any illegal activity no matter how fun it is. But if I went to Ryerson I’d probably do the same thing,” said Miller. The RSU’s turf stunt was cut short at noon as police arrived to open the street to traffic. Ryerson administration was notified of the event late last night by a press release sent out by Toby Whitfield, RSU vice-president finance and services. The temporary 2010 closure fulfills one aspect of Ryerson’s Master Plan, a long-term vision for campus development, which calls for a pedestrian-friendly Gould Street. The city will form a committee of Ryerson representatives with the transportation department to figure out which parts of the street will be closed. Whitfield said Ryerson will continue to lobby different committees next year in an attempt to make sure the closure is permanent.

Rye freezes top salaries By Alexandra MacAulay Abdelwahab

Top-earners at Ryerson can forget about a raise this year. The university’s highest paid employees have had their salaries frozen with no cost of living adjustment. The wage freeze follows a recommendation earlier this year from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to put a cap on salary increases for employees earning $150,000 or more per year. “My salary was one of those that was frozen in every component,” said President Sheldon Levy, who earned $344,583 in the last academic year. According to Levy, the decision will only affect him and members of Ryerson’s executive group, which made more than $1.19 million dollars collectively last year. Cuts to Ryerson’s operating budget were expected to be five per cent this year, but Tas Venetsanopoulos, vice-president research and innovation, said this number is closer to three per cent. According to Venetsanopoulos, the cost of living adjustment normally matches the rate of inflation,

currently about two per cent. He said the money saved has instead been put towards student bursaries, which were suffering due to low interest rates. “This was the understanding that I had,” said Venetsanopoulos. In 2008, he was paid $301,843. Because all other salaries at Ryerson are negotiated through collective bargaining only the wages of the school’s highest paid employees can be capped. Adam Kahan, vice-president university advancement, stressed that the salary freeze is not due to a budget shortfall at Ryerson. “It really has nothing to do with the budget,” said Kahan, the school’s top-earner who made around $358,644 last year. “It has to do with optics.” Ryerson is one of the last schools in the province to announce a salary freeze. Following the recommendation by the ministry in early March, several schools announced salary freezes for their top executives, including the University of Toronto, Queen’s and McMaster.

Maple Leaf Gardens could house the new athletic facility. PHOTO: chris dale

Funding for Gardens up in air By Carys Mills

Ryerson and Loblaw Companies Limited are officially in talks about a partnership that would allow the university to house an athletic facility within Maple Leaf Gardens. Both Ryerson and Loblaw, the current owner of Maple Leaf Gardens, made announcements on Sept. 16 after The Eyeopener published a series of articles about the possible venture. The building could contain both an athletic facility and grocery store. Ryerson president, Sheldon Levy, said Ryerson is still looking at other options while talks about the property and funding continue. Levy has seen about five blueprints outlining options for the interior of the Maple Leaf Gardens site. “To determine whether or not it was a suitable location there had to be drawings ,” said Levy. “There are lots and lots of options, each of them with a different price tag,” said Levy. “For sure we’re going to need help with any one of them.” An athletic referendum passed in March when 74 per cent of voters cast their votes in favour of a fee increase for a new facility, effective upon its completion. Funding may also come from government and university fundraising. “It’d be a great thing for the university, although I understand there’d be some financial challeng-

es,” said Toronto mayor, David Miller, who said the city is unable to contribute financially. Levy has made a funding application to the federal government, but refused to disclose the amount requested. Wherever the facility goes it will require university fundraising, according to Adam Kahan, vice president university advancement. Ryerson is already preparing specific fundraising initiatives for the possible Maple Leaf Gardens site. The campaign may include naming opportunities, allowing individuals and corporations to name the facility, a rink, gym or court for millions of dollars, said Kahan. Companies would also be able to sponsor the facility without naming part of it. Admirers of the historic building could be targeted through sales of the arena’s original seats and an online campaign asking for donations to assist with restoring the building to a functioning arena. “I think anything to do with Maple Leaf Gardens will be sold in a instant,” said Ivan Joseph, athletics director. Joseph said town hall meetings will be held before specific plans go ahead for the facility as an attempt to serve all students. “I want to make sure to talk to those who aren’t using the [current] recreation and athletics centre, I want to know why,” said Joseph.

It took hundreds of classes, thousands of dollars and one degree until I finally felt like a Ryerson student. The moment didn’t happen when I finished my last exam or when I was handed my degree. It came months after convocation, during the annual frosh kegger organized by Ryerson’s engineers. The Annex frat house hosting the party was dirty, grimy and filled with horny first-year engineers looking for some loving. But it was perfect. Growing up in Canada we’re brought up watching American movies and television where every university experience is Animal House. We want the frat parties, the keg stands and the crusty professors. Anywhere north of the border — and especially at Ryerson — it’s almost impossible to be found. But for that moment at the kegger, I was living that sought-after American experience. In this week’s issue — from our cover story to an undercover feature — we ex-

amined the issue from several different angles. Features editor Rodney Barnes takes a critical look at student spirit at Ryerson and why our students aren’t defined by their university experience (pages 10-11). Our associate news editor Shirley Lin dons the kilt and sees whether Ryerson students are missing out on the fraternity and sorority experience (page 6). And on page 3, the RSU takes a huge step towards creating a better campus feel by finally shutting down Gould Street. What all these stories have in common is a sense of ownership. Whether it be an identity, a campus group or a street, students need to feel they own a stake in their university experience to really give a damn. It’s why our campus groups are so successful and why I’m still at the Eyeopener after five years. The next few weeks is the best time to volunteer and get involved with our newspaper. We could always use more writers, photographers and copy editors. We don’t care what year or program you’re in either ­— everyone is welcome. So stop by our office (we’re on the second floor of the SCC), eat our free Salad King, drink our beer and claim your own part of this university.

Stop, Rammer Time! (And then they really did) BY VAN VANDAELLE

Students in search of cheap booze will have to find a new after-class watering hole this year. The Ram in the Rye has scrapped Rammer Time, a two-hour period on weekday afternoons, known for its $2.75 domestic beer and mixed drinks. The after-class pastime was cancelled by Eric Newstadt, general manager of the Student Campus Centre (SCC), in consultation with Ram managers and the SCC Board. “Since our drinks are already lowly priced, we didn’t see a reason to put them any lower and encourage overconsumption,” said Newstadt who believes Rammer Time didn’t promote responsible drinking. Although the happy hour was popular among students, it became a source of frustration for several employees at The Ram in the Rye, who’ve asked not to be identified to protect their jobs. “A few people really ruined it for everyone,” said a staff member at the Ram. “We would have EMT here every two or three days, people puking everywhere and people who would skip out on their bills and abuse our wait staff.”

Although, Newstadt insisted that the campus pub was not losing money from Rammer Time, another Ram employee said they weren’t making money either. “With the extra staff we needed to handle the crowd, people not paying their bills and even the lack of tips — it just wasn’t profitable,” said the employee. Rick Knapps, SCC food and beverage manager, believes the cancellation of Rammer Time will make Ryerson’s pub appeal to a wider variety of students, including non-drinkers. Lindsey Daleo, a third-year geographic analysis student, often participated in Rammer Time after class. She recalls some students ordering up to 12 bottles of beer at a time and said “there were always fights out front.” For another unnamed member of The Ram’s staff, stories of Rammer Time excess aren’t surprising. “I actually had a few separate occasions when I would be cleaning vomit out of urinals with a plastic cup,” the staff member said. “If you ask me, good riddance to the whole thing.”

What’s the point in going to the Ram if there’s no Rammer Time? - Pablo Lorca, a third-year aerospace engineering

I’m outraged. We like cheap drinks, the cheaper the better. - Mike Shantaj, first-year criminal justice

Part-time biz kids pay in full By Ross Arbour

Ryerson has started slapping full-time course fees on business management students taking three or more courses per semester. The Ted Rogers School of Management (TRSM) has begun classifying these students with more than two courses per semester as full-time. Previously, they could take three courses and still be considered part-time. A full-time business management student pays $92.83 more than their part-time counterparts. Neil Wolff, associate dean of undergraduate studies at TRSM, argues it’s not fair to the full-time students with three courses that those studying part-time pay less for the same privileges, adding that existing part-time students with more than two courses are permitted to continue taking them. This doesn’t sit well with the Continuing Education Students’ Association of Ryerson (CESAR).

The group is fighting to change the decision, suggesting Ryerson define a full-time student as having four or more courses. Faced with added costs of full-time studies, students have approached CESAR with complaints about the new policy, said its president, Mohammed Ali Aumeer. “It’s unfair to charge part-time students more than they previously paid for no specific reason,” Aumeer said, adding the administration refused to clarify whether students were consulted prior to the change. Because the deadline for tuition payment has passed, if CESAR is successful the reversal would be effective next year or next semester for students who elected to defer their fees. Vice provost students, Heather Lane Vetere, calls some of the information CESAR has distributed “incorrect.” Lane Vetere and Wolff have been meeting with CESAR to discuss resolutions.

Rye’s Big Five funding bullies By Max Mertens

In the race for federal research grants, five of Canada’s largest universities seem bent on bullying smaller schools like Ryerson out of potential funding. Last year, the “Big Five” – University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, University of Toronto, McGill University, and Université de Montréal – received a third of all the funding handed out to universities for research. Now their leaders are pushing for the allocation of research cash to larger schools, a move that could alienate and discourage smaller Canadian universities. “This is the game that bigger universities play,” said Tas Venetsanopoulos, vice-president of reMuhammed Ali Aumeer wants to reverse search and innovation. “The most important thing the new part-time policy. PHOTO: CHRIS DALE is to make sure funds are still going to Ryerson.” According to Venetsanopoulos, Ryerson has received $22 million in research grants so far this year.

Freshmen drop outs at 14 per cent By Shirley Lin

For Samadoon Hersi, the most difficult adjustment in university has been the readings. “The scariest part is reading the textbook, at first,” said the first-year information technology management student while flipping through his textbook that’s almost two inches thick. “It piles up.” Hersi eventually adjusted. “You get used to it.” But some students may be finding a hard time getting used to a new university environment. About 14 per cent of first-years drop out of their program, says a report by the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation, which researches access to post-secondary education.

Heather Lane Vetere, Ryerson’s vice provost students said the number isn’t alarming. “It’s not that much higher than it has been in the past,” Vetere said. “It’s always been at 10 to 16 per cent for first-year students. It varies by institution and program.” But the report, which analyzed data from Statistics Canada’s Youth in Transition Survey, points out that half of these students continue their studies at other institutions putting the number at eight per cent for those dropping out after first year. The survey followed 963,000 students age 18 to 20 in 2000. Its results suggest first-year drop-outs struggled with academic performance. “I’m not surprised because I know from experience that there are students that don’t complete

Welcome to the sisterhood Sororities and fraternities go unrecognized at Toronto campuses. Associate news editor Shirley Lin experiences the sorority rush first-hand

Minutes into a drinking game, Blondie is forcing back her third beer. To her left a boy bounces a ping-pong ball into an empty cup. She knows what this means. Hands on her hips, Blondie pouts before chugging another beer. Everything seems to be happening at hyper-speed — empty cups are passed around, beer is chugged, ping-pong balls fly across the table. The game is “Hex-a-death,” designed to get every player in the frat house basement mindnumbingly drunk. It’s rush time for all fraternities and sororities in Toronto; the four to six week recruitment period where hopefuls, nicknamed “rushes” pledge to become a brother or sister. At 131 Lowther Ave., home to the University of Torontobased Beta Theta Pi, the boys are hosting their first mixer with the Delta Psi Delta Sorority, a city-wide club that includes Ryerson students. These parties are actually illegal, but that won’t stop a large number of Ryerson students from joining. None of the Toronto’s three universities — Ryerson, York and the University of Toronto ­­— recognize fraternities and sororities. The Ryerson Students’ Union (RSU) also follows this mandate. Today, it still refusees to support the Greek system.

“Historically, fraternities and sororities tended to be exclusive and with having a fee,” said Liana Salvador, RSU vicepresident of education. “It goes against our equity mandate.” Marketing the Greek system — famed for it’s hazing rituals and elitism — is a tough sell on Canadian campuses. Prior to 1965, Ryerson was home to five fraternities, but when a car crash killed a student who drank too much at an inter-fraternity beer-drinking contest, Ryerson nixed the groups. At U of T, sororities are an exception to the rule, governed by the Panhellenic Association, which enforces strict rules

From the looks of Sigma Pi’s keg party last Friday, students across Toronto embrace the Greek system. While partygoers swarmed the frat house near Dundas and Spadina Streets, pledge educator Franklin Sebastianpillai did his best to direct the incoming crowd.

Sebastianpillai, an information technology management (ITM) student said he’s not the only Sigma Pi member from Ryerson. “Eleven out of 14 brothers are Ryerson students in ITM.” He lists several benefits of being in a brotherhood — networking with alumni, charity work, developing life skills, responsibilities, and lifelong friends. Being a sister or a brother may leave a warm afterglow, but it comes with a hefty price tag. Annual fees range from $400 to $1,000, most of which covers insurance and social events. Meeting new people and gaining new experience in a brotherhood could be compared to joining a student campus group. But for Lucas Carravetta, president of Lambda Chi Alpha at U of T, it’s rituals that set fraternities apart. “Every brother is bonded through rituals,” Carravetta said. “I can call him a brother because we’ve been through the experience.” Under the right guidance, fraternities can help students mature, he said. Back in Beta Theta Pi’s basement, the “Hex-a-death” proves too much to handle for two hopeful sorority pledges. Unable to go on, they hand their beer cups to Blondie who chugs them willingly, all in the name of sisterhood.

Student group brings refugee to Ryerson By Carys Mills

Last year, Gerard Byamungu was living in a refugee camp in Kenya. This year he’s learning how to order shawarma, one of the new foods he’s discovered since arriving in Toronto late August. Byamungu, 24, was brought to Ryerson by the student refugee program run by Ryerson’s chapter of World University Service Canada (WUSC). There are WUSC chapters throughout Canada at universities and colleges that bring student refugees to Canadian campuses. “This is the first sponsorship they’ve had in a long time,” said Michelle Manks, WUSC student refugee program officer, about Ryerson. Byamungu is Ryerson’s first WUSC student since 1984. “The student refugee program is student led so [it may have ended] if there wasn’t anyone to take over,” said Manks. Jackie Strecker, a communications and culture graduate student, was one of the students to bring WUSC back to Ryerson. Two years ago the group started the process of creating a WUSC chapter at Ryerson. One decision the group had to make was whether to sponsor a student for one or two years. The group decided to sponsor one student per year. “The intention at Ryerson was to better provide the opportunity for more people,” said Strecker. Students will be eligible to apply for loans and scholarships for further years. The sponsorship includes residence, food, clothes and tuition. According to Heather Lane Vetere, vice provost students, a fundraiser held earlier this year raised $15,000. Many university departments also contributed to the scholarship. Byamungu’s journey to Ryerson has been a long one. Originally from Rwanda, he attended boarding school in Nairobi where he lived as a refugee.

Deciding to apply for a scholarship program like WUSC meant focusing on academics. “I was told you work poorly, you perform poorly, you miss this chance,” said Byamungu, who is now in undeclared arts. He graduated from high school at the end of 2007 and began his WUSC application a few months later. Byamungu had a lot of competition; there were only three spots available and around 70 applications from the area in Nairobi where he applied from. He was accepted to the program in May 2008. It was mandatory that Byamungu live in a refugee camp where WUSC had a year-long training

I was told you work poorly, you perform poorly, you miss this chance. - Gerard Byamungu, WUSC student program. He attended class for two to three hours a day, learning about Canadian university, and taught languages at a secondary school. While Byamungu was learning about Canadian universities, WUSC Ryerson’s selection committee chose him to study at the university. In July, Byamungu found out he’d be going to Ryerson. On Aug. 19 he left Kenya for Toronto. He sat on the plane with other WUSC students about to arrive at other Ontario universities. As the first student to walk through arrivals at the Toronto Pearson International Airport about 20 WUSC groups welcomed him. Now he’s been at Ryerson for over a month and Byamungu has become familiar with the campus. Halidou Tahirou Ali, co-chair of WUSC Ryerson, said Byamungu has adjusted to Canadian life more quickly than the committee expected.

Save cash with eTextbooks by vincent mcdermott

Dianne Acuna, 18, estimates that she has already spent $500 on textbooks this semester. “It was always mentioned in high school that textbooks were going to be expensive in university,” said the firstyear early childhood education student. “But paying that price for the first time was still shocking.” Acuna still has two more books to buy. An American website, www.CourseSmart.com, is offering a less expensive alternative with online textbooks. Since August 2007, the website has been selling more than a third of popular textbooks, all of them ready to be downloaded as PDF files. Some of the textbooks are up to 50 per cent cheaper than their print counterparts. CourseSmart does not try to cover the fact that it’s selection of titles is still limited. Even with 7,323 books available, some key publishers like Oxford are missing. Of 27 randomly selected titles at the bookstore, only four of those books

Some of Ryerson’s faculty do not mind this technological shift, but they do greet it with concern. “I have no problem with laptops in the classroom if they continue to participate and engage each other,” said English professor Nima Naghibi. “The only problem I have with students being online during lecture is if they’re on Facebook or checking their e-mail.” Professor Rahul Sapra is more concerned with the quality and availability of the books. “If the website doesn’t offer the books I’m assigning, could they download a different edition? I teach Shakespeare and there are a lot of Shakespeare books on the internet of poor quality.” Ashley Arruda, 19, would welcome lower prices. The second-year psychology student guesses she spent $600 on textbooks this semester and could not find cheaper copies at the used bookstore or online. “Sometimes if you can’t find the books you need at the used bookstore or

online, you have to use Ryerson’s bookstores and their prices,” she said. Acuna would welcome any assistance saving money. “Any help is help,” she said. “Ryerson doesn’t do a lot to promote other off-campus options for a lot of student expenses.”

Grocery prices still high by lauren strapagiel

Things may be improving but be prepared to continue shelling out for pricey groceries. Food prices were up by four per cent this August compared to last year, according to a report released by Statistics Canada on Thursday, Sept. 17. Food prices were even worse earlier this summer with a 5.5 per cent increase in June and a five per cent increase in

July over last year. Second-year theatre production students Jenny Nikolova and Nirmala Jaboonana don’t seem to be bothered, and stopped by Metro to pick up lunch on Monday. “It’s still cheaper than getting fast food,” said Nikolova, “that’s why we came here.” Although prices are up, the trend appears to be downwards, so relief may be on the way.

Being a student can mean beating the taxman Hilary Hagerman does the math for you and finds out how to maximize your refunds

Saving your TTC passes can save you money on your taxes. Photo: chris dale

After paying your tuition, buying books and picking up your Metropass, your wallet may be feeling awfully empty. But cheer up and save those receipts as all these expenses can make a huge difference on your tax returns. One of the easiest and most overlooked ways to put some cash back in your hands is to maximize your non-refundable federal tax credits for full-time students. But what is a non-refundable tax credit? “It’s a credit that can only be used to reduce federal or provincial and territorial taxes payable to zero,” said student income tax specialist Maureen Hartnett. And although it may sound like common sense you have to have actually paid taxes in order to reduce them. “Many students don’t know that there are these credits out there for them to utilize,” added Mustaq Ahmed from Omnibus Tax & Accounting Services Inc. You only start having payable taxes if you’re making $10,320 per year and this alone can give you a return of $1,548 on your federal taxes. Ahmed suggests filing a return every year,

whether you have income or not. Also available are non-refundable tax credits for your tuition, employment, interest on your student loans, textbooks and monthly public transit expenses. You can also get a return just for being in school. An education amount tax credit gives you a refund for each whole or part month in which you were enrolled in school. The government will also shell out if you have relocated 40 kilometres or more to come to Ryerson. Even travel costs like food and on-the-road accommodation can be claimed as well as costs associated with breaking an old lease. It might not be tax season yet, but now is the time to start collecting all those slips and papers you may have been throwing out. Ahmed encourages students to gather all T4 and T5 slips, tuition fee slips (T2202 or T2202A), rent receipts, public transit passes, donation receipts and receipts for any medical expenses, including dental, glasses and prescriptions. Have a look to the right to see how much you could save.

If Eggy really represented us... It takes balls to be as wild as the engineers. Big, purple balls.

Ryerson’s mascot has given up the ghost. After decades of diminishing school spirit, Eggy finally passed on. Rodney Barnes finds out what happened, and where we went wrong.

ggy is dead. He died of heartbreak, fell victim to apathy and a quiet diet of irreverence. The embodiment of Ryerson’s spirit, he will be forgotten by the few who worked to spread his word, but that’s all. You need to have known a person before being able to forget about them. He is succeeded by no one. Having yielded his last mortal body in favour of uncrushable foam and nylon fleece, he could no longer produce offspring. His constitution means that no ramburgers will be served during the October 15 celebration of his life, but also that no funds are required for the pickling and stuffing of his head. Instead, it will simply be placed upon a plaque alongside his four other heads in the Ryerson archives.

There are over one hundred campus groups and course unions at Ryerson. There are hundreds more involved in the effort to engage the rest of the student body, and still the idea of a cohesive Ryerson spirit evades us. There are few traditions we celebrate today. There are signs and pamphlets and sweaters telling us who we are, yet little of substance that we can point to and say, with confidence, “this is Ryerson.” It would be easy to declare this the death of school spirit.

Part of the issue is that many of the students here are first-generation. They are the first in their family to attend post-secondary education. They suffer from the standard poverty that comes with university life: money and time. But they also have siblings to take care of, and part-time jobs to fill in where their parents can not.

Life of Eggy: the history of our ram Eggy’s life could have been penned by a very drunk and bitter Grimm’s brother. He was already an old ram when he was picked up at the Toronto Stock Yards in 1961 for eight cents per pound. He was famously introduced at a Ryerson men’s hockey game against Waterloo, where the Rams came out in a 123 victory. The students would cheer, “Eggy wants a goal,” and the players would oblige. This first incarnation would die of cancer a year later. Eggy would go through four more in the following decades. He would see the golden years of Ryerson athletics and student spirit; when hockey championships were plentiful and pranks by engineers particularly sly. It was a time of chariot races and school songs which first-years were ordered to memorize and sing on demand. Men wore ties not out of irony but as part of a dress code. Ryerson had an orchestra and a football team. Things began to slide by the late 60s, and never fully recovered. Multiple attempts were made to ‘ram-nap’ Eggy II, with all but one failing. He would

later drown in a flood on the farm he stayed at during the summer. Eggy III was known as “a mean-tempered ram who could not be trusted in the last years of his life, but who produced record numbers of high-quality offspring.” He died defending his flock from wolves. Eggy IV, perhaps the most well-liked of Eggy’s incarnations, suffered from a heart attack and was reported dead. The Ryersonian later repealed this report, writing that “the 260-lb. ram rose from the dead four days and 23 minutes after his fatal heart attack. This beats the previous record for elapsed time between death and re-animation set more than 1900 years ago by Jesus of Nazareth, an itinerant carpenter who started a religion.” With the passing of Eggy V in 1991 the duties of mascot would be the responsibility of a multithousand-dollar suit who could dance and hold its cheeks in awe and who would not piss in front of the school president or shit in the quad.

Devlyn van Loon never imagined her internship would lead to her own fashion outlet. But the People’s Boutique, run by second-year Ryerson fashion students van Loon, Tala Berkes and Sam Rice will open to the public on Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. Located at 1234 Bloor St. West, the boutique shares space with By The Pound, a trendy spot owned by vintage fashion designer Kealan Sullivan. “Sam had a lot of experience with consignment and Tala has a business degree, I decided that would be the best choice,” van Loon said. Because of school demands, she

knew she wanted a couple of classmates to help her out. “There is nothing negative to be said about being able to run a business and work with designers who are ridiculously inspiring,” she explained. “I think it is a good working dynamic,” says Berkes. “This is more fun for us, I think, because we are the bosses.” Berkes saw this as a chance to expand her interest in fashion and help the struggling artists out there. “It is the perfect opportunity for those individuals to say, ‘Hey, I like being a unique person, nobody else has this, it’s all mine,’” she added. Though the People’s Boutique caters to the essence of unique style, this

fashion outlet has something for trendy Torontonians looking for one-of-a-kind items with its diverse collection of up and coming artists and designers. They celebrate not only vintage style, but sustainable fashion design. “I try to use mostly organic or recycled fabrics,” said Rice, “I am really excited about this and happy to do whatever I can to make this work.” While interning at By The Pound in 2008, van Loon was approached about opening another fashion outlet.

Flu prevention to the extreme

Get the hug info

Matt Demers finds out if students would avoid contact to save themselves from

Want to know the numbers? The Society for Risk Analysis published “Relative Contributions of Four Exposure Pathways to Influenza Infection Risk.” They calculated the risk of contracting the flu through different exposures and this is what they found: 31 percent from hand contact with

contaminated surfaces

17 per cent from inhaling small

particles carrying virus when in the room 0.52 percent from inhaling large particles carrying virus when three feet or closer to the infected person 52 percent from close contact

spraying of cough droplets carrying virus onto the membranes of the eyes, nostrils and lips

Embracing with a hug or a high-five is still commonly seen on campus, even with the H1N1 scare. People are afraid. They are afraid of epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks and all that’s in between. In 2003 it was severe acute respiratory syndrome, also known as SARS. Now it’s H1N1, also known as swine flu. These diseases are so scary, we don’t even know what to call them. In an attempt to stop the spread of SARS. people were told to wear masks, use anti-bacterial soap and be aware of people who were coughing. It was like an obstacle course in day-to-day life. For H1N1, the games have been heightened. The Glen Cove public school district in Long Island, New York banned all forms of skin-onskin touching in order to curb the transmission of H1N1 virus. Most people don’t consider a handshake harmful; it’s pure business - introduce yourself, firm

grip, three shakes, release. It’s the same thing with a hug; an embrace is shared and you let go. However, with society’s increased attention to disease, this type of gesture may be pushing it. To some students, a ban that prohibits skin contact is overreacting. “I think it’s bull shit,” said Sarah Robinson, a second-year journalism student. “Swine flu’s going to spread either way. If you’re going to outlaw hugging, you might as well outlaw breathing in the same space.” In response to this policy and others like it, The Eyeopener decided to go on a safari, determined to find out exactly how much potential diseasespreading goes on throughout campus. By watching students in front of the Library building, it was clear that the hugs, handshakes and high-fives were were not in decline.

Some subjects were surprised that their regular greetings could be dangerous and have actually been banned in other schools. “Honestly, I don’t even think about it,” said Mike Cortes, fashion student. “Even in the subway, I see people sneezing [without covering] and I don’t even react. It’s normal.” Dr. Su-Ting Teo, Ryerson’s Director of Student Health and Wellness, said that practices like social distancing, while extreme at the moment, may become necessary in the future. “If the numbers and severity [of the disease] changes significantly, then it’s going to go beyond your normal flu season precautions,” said Teo. As winter turns its ugly head in our direction, we can only hope that this crazy flu doesn’t continue to spread. But will I stop shaking hands, giving hugs and high-fiving? Hell no.

Want to know the numbers at Ryerson? Matt Demers observed students for one hour in front of the Library Building. This is what he found: 11 high-fives 1 bro-hug 7 hugs 18 handshakes

What can you do to prevent getting the flu without giving up contact? Look into getting the flu shot when it comes available in November. For more information visit www.health.gov.on.ca

A lifeline for students struggling to cope BY HILARY HAGERMAN

Stigma can stop people from getting help. PHOTO: ANDREW WILLIAMSON

Dr. Su-Ting Teo is on a mission to end stigma against mental health illness. Teo, director of student health and wellness, along with the Ryerson Medical Centre, are launching an anti-stigma campaign they hope will help break the stereotypes about mental health. The campaign will be headed by a group of work-study students hired to be part of the Peer Mental Health Outreach. They will be responsible for planning the campaign and promoting it around campus. “The idea is to create awareness about mental health issues and minimize the stigma that is associated with mental health illness,” said Teo. “The stigma prevents people from recognizing their own illness or seeking help because of the shame associated with being labeled with a mental health illness. It also prevents friends and family of affected students from acknowl-

edging the problem and offering much needed help.” Teo said that the stigma stems from historical and cultural myths about mental health illnesses, which aren’t well understood in society or medicine. “Since people cannot see a physical problem, they blame the individual for their behavior,” Teo said. She also said that the campaign is important because university-aged students are prone to depression. “University-aged students are under a number of stresses that do not occur during other times in their lives,” Teo said. According to the Globe and Mail, suicide is the second leading cause of death among university students. Clincally depressed students are twice as likely to drop out of school. Teo mentioned that the stress can stem from things like high expectations in comparison to high school, moving away from home or through leaning

new personal and social skills. Colleen Carney, a psychology professor at Ryerson who concentrates on depression thinks the campaign could help break down the stigma around mental health. “One of the big stigmas is people not talking about it,” she said. “Increasing attention and being able to talk about it always almost works in breaking down these barriers.” Lan He, 21, a third-year nursing student, agrees a campaign like this is needed. “It would help us to realize what people with mental health illnesses are going through and be more understanding towards them,” she said. “It would also help them to be less ashamed of their problems.” But some students, like first-year interior design student Anitha Rasuratham, 18, aren’t so sure. “Honestly, I don’t know if the campaign would help,” she said. “The stigma is like racism. It’s not going to go anywhere anytime soon.”

Considering my athletic experience largely consists of full-contact sports — where grace, form and rhythm take a back seat to how much you can hurt your opponents — I’m the last person in the world who should set foot in, say, a salsa dance class. But never underestimate the allure of the free. Last week, the Ryerson Athletic Centre offered free sample classes to showcase its facilities. And when I say free, I don’t mean free plus a fee. This was no-strings-attached. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to make a fool out of myself without spending a dime, so I went salsa dancing. I dressed for a workout because I wasn’t sure how physically demanding the class would be. Turns out I could have done the class in jeans and a polo. Salsa dancing isn’t exactly strenuous.

To my relief, I wasn’t the only complete newcomer to this world of hypnotic hip-shaking. Most of the guys around me looked as lost as I was. At first I was hung up on how silly I looked shuffling around and shaking my ass, but by the end of the class I was actually enjoying it. Dancing can be a fun sort of escapism, where you wiggle and jiggle to the beat and pretend you don’t look like an epileptic monkey with back spasms. Does that mean I’ll ever do it again? Maybe, if it’s free. *** Check Arts and Life next week for another installment by Chris! Ass-shaking: 5/5 Workout: 2/5 Dignity remaining: 0/0

We could have had the very best Rye misses out on poaching top basketball coach from the University of Ottawa by anthony lopopolo

Roy Rana has an impressive resume. It boasts five OFSAA championships and a combined total of 14 regional and city-wide titles. It’s hard to imagine the new men’s basketball coach could have been outdone by another candidate. Unless it’s Dave DeAveiro, the top coach in university basketball. DeAveiro, the coach at the University of Ottawa, was offered the coaching gig at Ryerson before changing his mind. A proven leader at the helm of the Ottawa Gee-Gee’s men’s basketball program, DeAveiro owns accolades Rana can only begin to target. He is the all-time wins leader among men’s basketball coaches at the university level with a record of 174-111 and led Ottawa for eight consecutive years without registering a losing season or missing the playoffs. Adding to his wealth of experience is his days on the court, where he racked up 1,010 career points in the 1980s as a point guard for the Gee-Gees.

That’s what he would have brought to Ryerson. “Ryerson posed a great opportunity for me and my career. I have tremendous respect for people around its campus, from the president right down to management, to [athletic director] Ivan Joseph and his network of guys and the [coaching] position itself,” DeAveiro said. “Everyone was more than fair to me. I’d definitely love to be a part of that environment.” Citing family issues as the sole reason why his move was blocked, he’s certain that he’d be currently treading across Kerr Hall Gym to hold practice. “The job suited me, personally and professionally. If my family wasn’t an issue, I’d be your head coach right now.” But Ivan Joseph wasn’t so inclined to tip DeAveiro as a shoo-in, stating that the school had accepted applications from individuals other than him and Rana. DeAveiro and the Gee-Gees will be making a trip to Ryerson University for a game early next January.

Zero tolerance for initiation BY AMANDA CUPIDO

According to tradition, rookies were targets for senior players on the team. The initiation process was expected and could be brutally humiliating. Ryerson has found a way to put a stop to that. On Sept. 20, Carleton’s women’s soccer team cancelled the game scheduled with Ryerson. Carleton’s team was suspended from playing two season games due to a hazing incident. Beth Ali, interim manager of interuniversity sports at Ryerson said that she feels badly for the Carleton sports and recreation department since they have zero tolerance for initiation, just like Ryerson. “It’s negative team building,” said Ali. “The whole intent is to not allow it to happen.” Ali said the department offers a coaching and athlete orientation where

these issues are discussed. “We talk about ways to do positive team building,” she said. Ali also mentioned the severity of initiation and that there will be investigations and consequences if a team takes part in any sort of hazing. “It’s one of the worst forms of bullying,” said Ali. The department relies on the senior athletes to bring forth hints of initiation, which can be anything that makes a player feel different. Jeff Grenier, a second-year hockey player, said he has been initiated by a team before, but not at Ryerson. Since Grenier wasn’t initiated as a rookie, there was no desire to continue the tradition. Essentially, it’s been phased out. “I didnt feel any pressure,” he said. “It’s the truth.” Dom Khan, coach of the rowing team, also said there is no history of initiation

on his team. “We don’t do it and we’ve never done it” said Khan. “We are a family.” In addition to the zero tolerance with initiation, there is also a zero tolerence drinking policy for athletes and coaches. Grenier said most of the hockey team partied throughout the summer and got it out of their system. “I don’t have a desire to go out and be crazy,” he said. “Now it’s time for business.” Also, with a large part of his free time committed to playing hockey, Grenier finds it hard to find time to go out. “Our schedule doesn’t allow for it,” he said. Khan said the rowers choose not to drink based on their desire to be successful. “It’s pretty simple,” he said. “They ask themselves, ‘Is drinking going to help us win?’ and the answer is no.”

Women’s soccer on the rebound by cory wright

With five veterans — including star player Tessa Dimitrakopoulos — leaving the women’s soccer team, rookies will be expected to fill the void and the back of the net. With three goals this season, forward Calaigh Copland already appears to be on her way. But the real challenge for the Rams will be to integrate all the new faces on the team. The blue and gold are looking pretty green and are expected to field seven rookies this season. The Rams secured their first victory on Saturday, a 2-0 win over Trent. With a record of 1-2-3, it would look as though the team has been strapped to find a winning way. Midfielder Andrea Raso isn’t sounding the alarm however, as the Rams tied the fifth-ranked Ottawa Gee-Gees as well as an unbeaten squad from the University of Toronto. “It’s a matter of adjusting, and getting the hang of each other,” she said. Coach Peyvand Mossavat admits this is a transition season for the Rams, and wants to set modest goals for the team. “With new faces and tons of injuries, this will be a rebuilding year,” he said.

Hockey can’t field team by anthony lopopolo

Two years after winning a league championship, Ryerson’s women’s hockey team is having a hard time putting a team on the ice. The Stingers were a perfect 21-0 in Tier 4 of the Golden Blades Hockey League in 2007. But after leap-frogging two tiers last year, the team lost 14 games. Now the program is struggling to find enough players to be a legitimate contender in Tier 2 competition as they wait to claim varsity status in 2010. “It’s tough to recruit when you’re not in the middle of playing. People aren’t as interested if the team isn’t active,” said head coach Stephanie White. White began to see conflicts in roster size arise when a few players with whom she had a verbal agreement backed out. “In all honesty, we had a couple of players who were supposed to join the team,” she said. “Those players would have helped improve the squad, but like anything else we have to carry on.” Only five players are returning this year, leaving the door open for rookies.

Megan Higgins, a first-year sociology student who played at the senior-A level in Barrie, is one rookie who thinks the team will be able to compete in the OUA in the future. “If we hustle hard and organize ourselves, we can use this season as a stepping stone,” she said. Early signs indicate that the Stingers will have exhausting trials to go through, as they failed to win their opening two games of the season last weekend. They dressed 10 players and a goalie, which met the minimum requirement. Higgins, however, relishes the number of times she gets the nod from her coach. “We kept our shifts short, going on and off pretty quick, every 30 seconds,” she said. “We got a load of ice time, which was great. Playing on defence, I enjoyed it.” But White believes that not competing at the OUA level dampens the program’s allure. “I realize that players will turn away from us and could go to another potential school, ones that own rinks or have better access to them.”

Scrubs on skates Sports editor Anthony Lopopolo takes his second crack at making the cut Ten minutes. That’s how much time I had to try out for Ryerson’s figure skating team. In case I forget to mention, I also arrived late at Moss Park Arena. Taking the bus from Richmond Hill, bolting underground to catch the subway and commuting the rest of the way via streetcar, I spent over an hour to reach the arena. That alone was exhausting. Suffice to say, it boggles my mind to think of myself rolling out of bed at 5:30 a.m. to take to the ice, although these skaters appeared to have no problem doing it – four times a week no less. “You get used to waking up early, it isn’t too bad,” said one member, who had just wrapped up a two-hour practice, from 7 to 9 a.m., on a Monday morning. Ill-prepared and uncertain of what exactly I had to do on the ice, I walked in with a gym bag in hand, hockey skates inside. I stared intimidation in the face. The level of talent I saw was in another stratosphere to what I was about to display. With a blank stare at the arena’s entrance, as if a bolt of lightning struck the ground before me, I took a step back. What did I get myself into? My only save from humiliation was my eight years of experience as a hockey player, I thought. Reporting to Robyn Doolittle, the coach of the figure skating team, I was ushered on the ice as quick as possible. Pronto. What was I to do? Slapping on my skates and darting across the rink for a quick warm-up, I lied at the mercy of the former Eyeopener editor-in-chief. I felt like a chucked octopus in Joe Louis Arena, all exposed

and floundering. Then she demanded the best of me – and I dug into my hockey reservoir for answers. Jumping? How do I jump on blades? If there was a ref I was trying to fool into calling a penalty, maybe it’d be easier to perform. Leaping? Twirling? Spiralling? All foreign terms to me while on the ice, especially if they were to be intentionally executed. I attempted it – some semblance, at least. A poor man’s version of a leg lift, a semi-accurate balancing technique: but all done, keep in mind, with the flexibility of a novice karate kid. Then my partner, who was one of those skaters who wowed me upon entrance, showed me up. Some competition. Though she flung her leg in the air, well above her torso to my disbelief, and I was there, looking like that octopus. I followed her lead, failed, and pressed on. Seven minutes into the tryout, however, I finally nailed it: I balanced on one leg and held it. A spread eagle, I believe it’s called. And I kept repeating that action. It was the closest thing to a correct technique. Over and over, just to validate myself – and to no longer feel as embarrassed. To the grin of Doolittle, I knew I had done well, even for a moment. Then she dealt me the blow I had expected: “I’m sorry to say it, but you’re the worst player we’ve seen come out to a figure skating tryout.” “You’re cut.” But on a personal note, I didn’t fall. Not once. That’s right, by the end of it all, this man was still standing.
