Sackville shines in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis

Mount Allison students exhibited their many talents on Shine Day, in an effort to raise money to support cystic fibrosis research. MTAs Shinerama committee surpassed their origi-nal goal, earning $25,000 through primary and secondary fundraising. The top three most succcessful sites supported by MTA students were in Sackville itself; students in down-town Sackville and at the Co-op, and Pattersons Family Restaurant cooperatively raised over $2000 for the charity.

Every time we would count themoney we would just get more andmore excited, exclaimed NatashaGosselin, 2008 Shinerama Chair andfourth-year Psychology Honoursstudent.

Never before has Mount Allisonraised so much for Shinerama. eoriginal goal of $17,000 was passed

with flying colours. Approximately$25,000 will be the final amountsent to the Canadian Cystic FibrosisFoundation (CCFF). Committeemembers believe that the amountskyrocketed this year, partly due toan increased effort towards secondaryfundraising.

Usually, they do just a couple ofsecondary fundraisers to cover thecost and then theyll have the shineday and then thats it, but this summer

we did tons of events and fundraisers,explained Gosselin.

Going into Shine Day, thecommittee had already generated$12,000. ey made about $1000

during their first event, the summersemi at the pub, and then another$1000 at the Canada Day Barbeque.Other secondary fundraisers includeda Beach Party at the pub, an End ofthe Pub as we know it Party, a bottledrive, bar blitzes, weekly bingos, andbarbeques.e sale of terra cotta shine-on

pendants also contributed largely tothis years success. e pendants aremade by Gosselins parents who owna jewellery store in Stony Creek, and

were sold for ten dollars, with fivedollars from each sale going towardShinerama. Last year, the idea wona national award for being the bestsecondary fundraiser. is year, first

years were given the option to pre-order shine-on pendants in their froshpack. Many chose to do so, or boughtthem when they arrived in Sackville.

But, thats not all, according toGosselin. e incoming class washuge, the largest weve had and

we made a lot of effort to educate

before everyone got here so that theyhad a good understanding of what[Shinerama] was. People already hadthe spirit and were really excited aboutit before they got here and that wasawesome.

However, this run of success wasalmost broken by predictions that thesun would not be shining on ShineDay. e Maritimes were expectingto be hit by the tail end of hurricaneHanna. Fortunately, the storm waiteduntil the next day.

Shinerama, Canadas largest post-secondary fundraiser, includes almostsixty universities and colleges. So far,students across Canada have shinedtheir way to $18.5 million for the fightagainst cystic fibrosis, a disease thatcauses build-up of mucus in the lungsand the pancreatic ducts, reducing thebodys ability to fight infection andabsorb sufficient nutrients.

Its the most common diseasearound for people our age, so itseems like something really worthy

to be doing as a university, explainsMayme Lefurgey, committee memberand third-year student majoring inSociology.

Most people who are involvedin Shinerama dont have a personalconnection to someone who has CysticFibrosis. ey are doing all this workand putting so much of themselvesinto this thing and its for someonethey dont even know, says Gosselin.

Not so for David Watson, second- year physics student, who has twosisters with Cystic Fibrosis. issummer, Watson and his sister Allisondid an 81-day bike trip from Vancouverto Newfoundland to raise awarenessand funds for the CCFF. In total theyraised about $5,000.

Canadians are great! said Watson.He came back to school with crazy

stories about kind Canadians, whooffered them roadside mooseburgers,and a nice choir lady who took them inafter they tried squatting in a church.

Watson also talked to first-years about

Shinerama and his trip at one of theorientation events.

Its the first week of school whereyou dont have any work yet, he saidabout the campaign, And youre stillmeeting friends, so its just a funtime.

Actually, the top three mostsuccessful Mount Allison sites werein Sackville. e downtown Sackvillesite raised $1,326, the Co-op groupraised $910, and the PattersonFamily Restaurant group raised $581.Shinerama always has lots of supportfrom the community. e townmayor, Pat Estabrooks, even read aproclamation declaring September 6as Shine Day in Sackville.

e residents of the town arealways very generous with Shine Daybecause they understand the causeand they know about it in advance,said Gosselin, I think they get excitedabout it too.

is summer, Joggins Fossil Cliffs became aUNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. On

July 7, the Cliffs were recognized as one of theeleven greatest fossil sites in the world, and asone of the top four in Canada.ey are foundabout thirty minutes away from Sackville, alongthe Nova Scotia coast, dipping into the Bay ofFundy.

Brian Hebert, chief interpreter, commentedon the historic moment. Almost all of thecommunity of Joggins was in the Centre itself... and there was just screaming, everybody washappy, and you know some people were cr ying.It was quite amazing.

Hebert noted that the event brought manypeople to the otherwise small community. Iveknown about this site since I was a young, youngkid, he said. And now everyone else can seehow important it is as well.

Joggins is a rare site, where fossils arepreserved along with their natural environment.e cliffs offer a series of snapshots showing themost completely preserved terrestrial tropicalforest from the Pennsylvanian C oal Age, 310million years ago 100 million years before thedinosaurs.e cliffs rose up as the glaciers receded at

the end of the last Ice Age, releasing pressureon the earths crust.e cliffs are now eroding,continually exposing new f ossils, thanks to harsh

winters, rain, and Fundys tides.Until last year, a small wooden museum on

Joggins Main Street, run by Don Reid, housedthe largest collection of fossils from the cliffs.Now the new environmentally friendly centre,constructed as part of the bid for World NaturalHeritage Site status, is up and running. Just over

12,000 people have visited since the opening

Natural heritage recognized at JogginsFossil cliffs gain UNESCO statusHelena van TolArgosy Staff

four months ago. According to Hebert, the cliffshave definitely seen an increase in the numberof visitors since May, when the centre was built.But now that the Fossil Cliffs have achievedHeritage Site status, he predicts an even largerincrease in tourism.

At many UNESCO sites, there is often afear that increased traffic will cause damage tothe area that needs protection. But Hebert saysthat there is no cause for worry here because thecliffs are continually changing anyway.

[Before the centre] there was nothingstopping people from going down to the beach.Now we give guided tours of the beach, we

educate the people about safety near the cliffs,

and the aspects that are protected on the site.Hebert, who grew up in Joggins, takes care

of the fossils, gives tours, and manages thescientific component of the site. He also makesplenty of discoveries since Joggins is activelyeroding.

Just recently one of the fossil trees hascome out of the cliffand I have it right now onmy desk.eres a fossil skull and other bonematerial from an animal that was living insidethe trees those were found just a few daysago, said Hebert, adding that part of the reasonthe Cliffs were nominated are these importantand common discoveries. eres a chance of

finding new fossils every day.

The Joggins Fossil Cliffs has seen the number of tourists increase since the Fossil Centrewas built and the Cliffs gained the status of a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site

Amidst the chaos of departments relocatingto the new student centre and staff changes, achange of title for VP Academic and Research

Stephen McClatchie may escape notice. OnSeptember 1, McClatchie added the title ofUniversity Provost, a new position to MountAllison, to his already formidable title. eimpetus for the creation of the Provost positioncame from University President Robert Campbell

who wanted to formalize the VP Academics jobdescription. For instance, the Provost is describedas the official replacement for the President inhis or her absence according to the official pressrelease. However, this responsibility is not novelfor McClatchie as the Mount Allison UniversityAct had already clearly defined the VP Academicas the acting President in his or her absence. Inaddition, the Provost chairs the IT committee,

which was previously held by the VP Academic.However, McClatchie is emphatic that Provost

is not simply a re-titling of the VP Academic andResearch. According to McClatchie, the newposition reflects what he and his predecessors

Catching up with McClatchieVP Academic and Research takes on new role as Provost

William GregoryArgosy Staff

had been doing in the position and brings theuniversity in line with most other North Americanuniversities administrations which already have

the Provost position. He continues to explainthat the promotion clarifies that academicconcerns are at center of all decision making.One concrete change to McClatchies duties isa distancing from directly dealing with studentissues, although he continues to work closely withVP International and Student Affairs Ron Byrneand other administrators, like the Registrar, thatdeal exclusively with students. He characterizesthe relationships as a dotted line with hisinvolvement being removed but not disinterestedfrom their work.

Any academic changes, like alterationsto the time tables, remains under his jurisdiction.McClatchie summed up his promotion as part ofagenda items working on long term budget andsustainability plans for the university. After three

years with the university, he feels that he and theupper administration is now finding its stride,

which the new title of Provost reflects.

ANTIGONISH (CUP) Student-led green initiatives are taking root oncampuses across Atlantic Canada.

A community farm and a

sustainable residence are just some ofthe ways students are aiming to reducetheir carbon footprints while raisingawareness about environmentalism.

Alex Redfield is one of the organiz ersof the Community SustainableFarm project at Acadia University in

Wolfville, Nova Scotia. e projectwas created to educate students aboutsustainability. e group intends toachieve this by growing produce tobe sold to the universitys cafeteria, as

well as offering small individual plotsof land to community members who

wish to cultivate their own produce.Our mandate is to create a shared

space for students, faculty, and the Wolfville community to engage inpositive interaction and to serve as aneducational resource for folks aroundtown and campus, to learn aboutthe practical methods and strategy

of food security and environmentalsensibility, said Redfield. Byengaging so many kinds of people,

we hope to generate a consensusthroughout Wolfville and Acadia thatnot only are the environment, the

vitality of our community, and the waywe eat important, but that anyone can

contribute to strengthening [. . .] thosevital components of our lives, simplyby chucking a few seeds into somedirt.

Growing the vegetables on campus will help bring responsible, local,organic food directly to students,Redfield says.

After months of drafting policy andapproaching university and communityleaders for support, Redfield and hisfellow students finally planted seedsin mid-June. Despite planting twomonths later than they hoped to, thefarm has enjoyed a good first season.

Redfield believes the trend ofenvironmentalism is growing amongstudents because the movement isinherently inclusive.

Not everyone is going to be electedto office or get famous or whatever,but everyone can make tangible

contributions to a growing movementof environmental awareness andresponsibility and it feels good to dosomething good, he said.

At Mount Allison Universityin Sackville, New Brunswick, ninestudents have chosen to live sustainablyin an on-campus residence.

Fourth-year student Nico Dube, thehouses residence assistant, says it wasthe project that first attracted him tothe residence. Having lived there in hissecond year, he was anxious to comeback, this time with a leadership role.

In the fall of 2004, an existingresidence opened its doors to students

who were committed to an eco-friendly lifestyle. e students decidetogether how they are going to live,make conscious decisions to conserveheat, perform selective flushing, air-dry dishes, and collect shower water tolater use for washing dishes.e students also purchase

locally grown organic food to cookcommunally, says Dube.e university has been supportive

of the students initiative, fromproviding funding and support forenvironmental workshops, to helping

the students purchase necessities, likea dining room table big enough foreveryone, and a deep-freeze for storingproduce for the winter.

Dube thinks the environmentalmovement is well rooted in todaysstudents.

I dont think its possible to trulyappreciate the environmental impacts

of ones behaviour and not to be anenvironmentalist, he said.

I think environmentalism is a formcompassion, and compassion stemsfrom understanding. us, promotingunderstanding of environmental issuesis promoting compassion and simplymaking the world a more wonderfulplace in which to live.

WATERLOO (CUP) Two WilfridLaurier University students weresent to hospital last week after theirroommate reportedly attacked them

with a kitchen knife.Last ursday, at around 1:30 a.m.,

Waterloo Regional Police respondedto a call from a Lester Street home in

Waterloo, from which two studentswere later transported to Grand River

Hospital in Kitchener, Ontario for

stitches.Peter Sauder, 21, says he received

eight stitches on his forearm andan additional five stitches on hisshoulder.

Sauder alleges he was assaultedwhile sitting on a couch, watching TVwith friends.

Cameron Christie, 21, says he wasasleep when some of his roommates,including the suspect, came homefrom a bar. Around 1:30 a.m., he heardscreaming and woke up in a daze.

I had no idea what the hell was

going on, Christie said.

Christie says another roommate toldhim Sauder had been stabbed, and thathe was going to the hospital.

I looked down and my leg wascovered in blood and my sock wasstained. I realized, I guess, I shouldgo too, said Christie. He was treated

with nine stitches.ese wounds were superficial

wounds, similar to cuts. Not the typesof wounds that we would normally referto as deep stab wounds or anything tothat effect, said Olaf Heinzel, publicaffairs co-ordinator with the Waterloo

Regional Police Service.

Heinzel adds that police are nottrying to diminish the fact that twopeople were injured with a knife.

Police have named alcohol as acontributing factor to the incident andsay an investigation is ongoing.

When asked about how the incidentoccurred, Sauder said: Earlier in theday, we were screwing around withthis really cheesy BB gun that doesnthurt.

Apparently, his deepened aggressionblew up hours later in an extremely . . .intoxicated state, he added.

Christie says the attack was

unprovoked, though he acknowledgesthe earlier BB gun incident.

It was unprovoked from thestandpoint that we dont thinkanything specifically happened that . .. led up to it, Heinzel said. But whythe attack occurred is still part of theinvestigation.e suspect was released on promise

to appear in court. John Bland, 22, will appear in

Kitchener Court on Oct. 28 to facetwo charges of assault with a weapon.As of press time, he was unable to be

reached.

ST. JOHNS (CUP) Until recently,any student loan recipient inNewfoundland and Labrador couldaccess the personal and financialinformation of other students andtheir families through a flaw in theprovincial governments Student

Financial Services website.N.L. Minister of Education Joan

Burke says the provincial governmentwas in the process of sending letters t oall those whose private information wasaccessible on the site almost 50,000 until it brought in a security firmthat determined that only ninety ofthose files had actually been viewed.rough the manipulation of the

URLs of various pages on the site whilelogged in, one user gained access to thefiles of other loan applicants, includingaddresses, birthdates, Social InsuranceNumbers, earnings, and other income-related information provided since

January 2004 in student, parent, orspouses declaration, consent, andsignature forms.

After learning of the loophole,the online site for student aid wasimmediately shut down, the problem

was identified and corrected, and thesite was re-established the same day,according to a release from the N.LDepartment of Education.at day was Aug. 22, but it wasnt

until Sept. 7 that government begancontacting the 90 students whose filesecurity had been compromised. epublic was not informed of the breachuntil Sept. 8.

Once we got the informationabout the breach, our priority at that

time was to shut down the system andto see where the vulnerability, wherethe flaw was, said Burke.

She says the public was not notifiedearlier because the government wastrying to ensure the system wasavailable for students at a critical timein the school year.ey were also usingthe time to set up ways of dealing withcomplaints.

We were in the process ofdeveloping the correspondence andbeing able to set up a 1-800-numberand an e-mail system and being able tostaff it to take enquiries from 48,000people, Burke said.e government is urging those

affected to take steps to preventidentity theft.

Daniel Smith, Newfoundland andLabrador Chairperson of the CanadianFederation of Students, says the breach

is worrisome, but the Department ofEducations response was efficient.

Were very concerned about this,he said. Its a pretty scary time tothink that kind of information couldbe out there. But now we have thecommitment from government andthe privacy office.

Weve been directing people tothe online forms because its so muchquicker, he said. I want people toknow that they can still have faith in

this online system. Its just like onelittle scare, right?

Jeffrey Parsons, a businessprofessor at Memorial Universityof Newfoundland who works ininformation systems and databasemanagement, says in the context ofrecent privacy violations like the2007 credit card info leak which theGlobe and Mail estimated affected20 million people the situation isminor.

Its not large in terms of the numberof people whose personal informationmight have been compromised, hesaid. But depending on exactly whatkind of information was compromised,I think it s serious. Its something thatthe university should definitely beconcerned about.

Burke emphasizes that it was justformer and present students who

could retrieve the information, not thegeneral public.

Only authorized users of thestudent aid site can access the onlineapplication forms by logging on witha username and password, said Burkein a release.e current website does not actually

use a username and password system,but rather, students log in using theirSIN and date of birth.

Parsons, who says he has not seen

the website, was quite surprised thataccess could be gained to a studentsfile so easily.

Social Insurance Numbers are nothard to get, [nor] date of birth. Its a

very minimal level control over whocan [get] into the system I wouldthink, he said.

Burke says the login system wassomething that had come up indiscussions.

I certainly anticipate that there willbe some changes in that regard, shesaid.is breach has prompted

government to evaluate the securityof the website to make sure privateinformation is protected in the future.Burke says in a few weeks governmentshould be able to say that every file hasbeen reviewed.

OPINIONS

Denis CormierArgosy Contributor

Imagine my surprise uponmy arrival for another year atMount Allison to find thatCentennial Hall and UniversityCenter were empty.e famed,new student center was/is fi-nally open! Unfortunately, my

enthusiasm somewhat fadedupon seeing the state that thislong awaited addition to thecampus was in: though mostservices had moved in or werein the process of doing so (allare now open except the pub, asfar as I know), everything andeveryone seemed to be hap-hazardly set-up; construction isnot complete, putting both stu-dents and workers in the wayof each other, not to mentionthe possible hazards of a con-struction site; and some thingsseem to have been overlookedaltogether. rough all of this,the university is asking us to bepatient and assuring us that itwill be for the better in the end.e questions are: Will it? Whyis this all necessary?

To see the issue in how thingshave been set-up, one needs tolook no further than the book-store: Finding textbooks wasrather frustrating as there wasno way to know which section was which, other than goingthrough each tight, overcrowd-ed row and attempting to readthe tags identifying each re-spective course that went alongwith the books on that sectionof shelf. In their defence, Ivebeen told this is temporary andthat it will be better organised

New Student CenterPresent Inconvenient. Future, Worth it?

as time goes on. ey had alsoimplemented a system to keepthe store from getting over-crowded: people were to waitin line in the rather small en-trance instead; Ive spent up to20 minutes in this line on oneafternoon. Obviously, they wereand are doing what they can,but this shows a serious lack ofplanning somewhere along theway...ere is also the issue of the

center still being a constructionsite, as well. Because of this, Icannot count the number oftimes Ive been asked to move,even sitting at a table in the cafeat lunch or standing in a line, sothat work can get done. erehas also been numerous times when passage to where youwant to go is blocked or a tightsqueeze. Not to mention timeswhen Ive had to pass throughthe main entrance, partiallyblocked by scaffolding, with work going on just overhead.

ough, Ive yet to see anythingthat posed a large danger, to befair. e fact still remains thatit is a construction zone, andboth parties (university andconstruction) are in the way ofeach other.

One last thing Ive noticed isthe glaring omission of a fewitems: the cafe no longer ac-cepts Interac and instead asksus to use an ATM in the vend-ing room (where the vendingmachines are.) Ive understoodthis to be a permanent changeand oppose it because of thefees charged with every with-drawal in addition to the in-

Thinking About Stuff

Zoe WilliamsArgosy Staffe Conservative party is

trying to manipulate us into voting for them.is in itselfis not surprising its whatpolitical parties always do but their method is new.

ey are collecting personalinformation about us, sortingus into demographic groups,and creating micro-campaigns

and targeted messages designedto appeal to their differentvoter categories. Of course, this wont succeed in convincing

all of us to vote Conservative.But, as political parties turnmore and more to this typeof campaigning, instead ofsimply presenting us withtheir platforms, we need to beable to see past the spin andthe candy-coated messaging. Ibelieve that education plays anintegral role in our developmentof these skills. By attendingMount Allison we are giventhe opportunity to learn, notjust about hard facts, but abouthow to interpret information.However, I think that manyof us do not fully appreciate ortake advantage of this chance.

I love school, at least in theory.e daily reality of universitysometimes makes it feel morelike a chore than the privilege

it is. With the pressure, and theworkload, its often not a lot offun. But this is the point weare not here at Mount Allison

(only) to have fun. We are hereto learn, and presumably all ofus have chosen to study withinthe disciplines that interest usmost. Why then, the prevalenceof Facebook-checking andMSN in class? How can youexpect to get an A on anessay you thought about whilewatching TV, and wrote whileintermittently checking youre-mail and watching YouTubevideos? We would not expect toget paid for a day of work wedidnt do, we shouldnt expect toget As on papers into which wehave not put sufficient thought.But this issue goes beyondgetting the grades we deserve.Everyone checks their e-mailor Facebook in class sometimes;I know I do. It is not these

bad habits with which I takeissue. Its the privileging ofthe trivial over the important,and the easy over the difficult

that worries me. How can wehope to understand our worldand stand up for ourselvesintellectually when we havemore practice navigating theshallow sea of celebrity blogs(while being bombarded withadvertisements, tailored to ourdemographics Are you fatat 21?) than engaging withmeaningful ideas? Of course,I dont believe that universityis the only sphere in which wecan learn to think critically.Nor do I think all students areonly interested in trivial issuesat the expense of their studies.But I worry sometimes thatwe take an overly lax approachto our education, and are tooeasily manipulated or swayedby media.

convenience. At this moment, you can also not use MountieMoney at the cafe, though I was told this will be rectifiedsoon... Navigating throughthe building is also a chal-lenge due to the lack of stairs inthe atrium. Instead, we have astairwell tucked away on eitherside of the atrium and a singleelevator in a corner. Inexplica-bly, the only stairs in, or even visible from, the atrium linkthe first floor and ground flooronly.ere is also no signage topoint-out the stairwells on ei-ther end, confusing many whodont know the building. Iveactually been asked by a fellowstudent how to get to the sec-ond or third floors on a few oc-casions. It should also be notedthat most of these studentsfound the elevator, but did notthink it was ready to be used,typically due to the unfinishedstate it is in.

I personally believe it will

eventually be worth it... Mygripe with our new studentcenter is mainly that the movewas done far too early as it isclearly not ready. I therefore askthe university why it is us thatshould be patient in dealingwith the confusion and disor-der while should have had thepatience to wait until the build-ing was complete and trulyready. With the old facilitiesstill in place and in usable con-dition, there was no reason forthis rush or the consequentialproblems.

Waiting patiently,Denis Cormier

University isnt just aboutlearning about neat things likesocialist realism. It also providesus with the opportunity to

develop important life skills,such as critical thinking. Andunlike writing an essay aboutsocialist realism, these otherskills are relevant to life outsidethe university. In the face ofCanadas embroilment in theUSs failing wars and weakeningeconomy, with a worldwidecontinued destruction ofthe environment, and withcelebrity-politicians trying toget us to look the other way,these skills are vital for ourgeneration. And these arentskills we can develop withouteffort, while on Facebook.

Brian CrouseMount Allison SAC

VP Academic Affairs

ere is a very exciting processhappening right now that couldpotentially make some big changesin academics here at Mount Allison changes which could happensoon. is process is the AcademicRenewal Process, and this article willbe an overview of the process so far,

whats going on now, and how yourinput is needed.e Academic Renewal Process

began in January under the directionof Stephen McClatchie, MountAllisons Provost and Vice PresidentAcademic and Research. It wascreated to look at Mount Allisonacademics from the ground up, see if

how we do things in the best p ossibleway, and if not, find out what the bestway is. I t was intended to ask the big-picture questions things like: Aremajors and minors a good idea? Aredistribution credits doing what theyare supposed to do? Should therebe mandatory first-year and fourth-

year seminar courses that all studentstake? Are semesters even a goodthing?

e process started with adiscussion paper with the intentof soliciting some initial feedbackfrom the community. Based on thatfeedback, five working groups werecreated to look at specific issues, anda Steering Committee to overseethe whole process. ese groupsare composed of faculty, deans, andstudents, and are as follows:

- Outcomes and Literacies:is group looks at what the result ofa MTA degree should be: what do

we want students to learn and endup with (outcomes) and what skillsshould they have (literacies). Forexample, should every MTA gradbe able to write? Do basic math?Program a computer? Make awesomebutterscotch pie?

- Distribution: is grouplooks at the purpose and efficacy of

distribution credits and decides ifthey help enhance our degrees. It willdecide if distribution credits like weoffer them are a good idea, and if not,look at what we can do differently.

-Course/Program Delivery:is group assesses the way in which we organize our courses andstructure our degrees. ey havebeen looking at a wide range of ideas,such as evening classes, week-long

concentrated courses, experientiallearning (learning something bydoing it), and mandatory first- andfourth-year seminars.

- Credit: is group looksat the future of the way we givecredit. is includes transfer credits,challenge-for-credit, and prior-learning assessment and recognition.

- Graduate Studies: isgroup considers the future role ofgraduate study programs (typicallyMasters degrees) at Mount Allison.

Most of these groups havemet over the summer and now havesome ideas; its now time to gatherfeedback from the community on

what to do next. Students are a bigpart of the community, and we willhave several chances to be involved

with Academic Renewal.e first chance is this Saturday,

September 20. From 1:00 3:30 PMin the Wu Centre, there will be anopen forum on the process. is isintended to give students a chance toshow up, speak their thoughts, and askquestions about the process so far.en, during the following week

(September 22 26) there will beround-table student discussions inthe evenings one for each of the

working groups. ese are chances

for students to talk about these issuesand ideas and have real input into the

whole process.is will be practically the only

time in your Mount Allison career when you can have an impact this

huge on the future of academicshere. Weve all heard people talkabout their thoughts on things likedistribution credits, evening classes,or transfer credits. If this is you, thencome out for a few minutes and jointhe discussion!

Academic Renewal is taking theopinions of students very seriously but right in the original discussionpaper it says e right to criticise

comes only through participation inthe process. Make yourself aware of

whats going on before big changesbecome set in stone, and come out fora little while and give students a voicein this process which could change all

of our degrees.Keep checking the VP Academics

page of the SAC website for moredetails, and just give me a shout if you

ever have any questions.

Elizabeth may enter the debates!

e long-awaited and oft predictedelection this October has begun. As

with any election, there will be debates,and one of the most important of thoseis the federal leaders debate, where theleaders of all the major political partiesof Canada meet to argue the merits oftheir respective platforms.

It had been decided by theconsortium of Canadas largest TVnetworks that Green Party leaderElizabeth May, was not going tobe allowed in the televised federaldebates, though the other majorparties were to be represented. Generalpublic opinion came out against thisdecision, and eventually caving topublic pressure, the three other partieshave reconsidered their stance on theissue. It was confirmed on September10 that Green Party leader ElizabethMay would officially be allowed toparticipate in the debate. e Green Party was originally deniedaccess to the televised debates due toopposition from the Conservatives,Liberals and the NDP. e threeleaders threatened to boycott the eventif May was allowed to participate,claiming that her presence would

jeopardize the fairness of the debate.One reason cited for this is that theGreen Party has no elected membersof parliament. ere is currently one

Green Party MP occupying the seatfor west Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country; however, MPBlair Wilson was originally elected asa Liberal, and has subsequently crossedthe floor.

Beyond the argument about theGreen Partys status in the Houseof Commons, both Stephen Harper

and Jack Layton expressed they feltGreen Party participation would bethe equivalent of allowing two LiberalParty candidates into the debate, thusskewing the debate in the Liberalsfavour. Further aggravating Harperand Layton, leaders May and Dionhad made an earlier agreement thatthey would not run candidates againsteach other in their home ridings.Cooperation between the parties hasnot advanced beyond this agreement,though their party policies haveconverged on a number of issues overthe past year: for example, both partieshave come out in favour of taxing

carbon emissions. Why so strong a public outcry

in favour of Mays participation?For many of the protesters whospoke out against the Conservative-NDP decision, the issue was one ofdemocracy. Television is an importantsource for political information, soto not have a major Canadian partyrepresented in a televised debate would

be an impediment to the averagevoters attempt to be informed.

What does all this mean for thecoming elections? A great deal,considering how much resistancethere was to refusing the Green Partyan opportunity to have its say. It meansthat perhaps Canadians are starting toput the environment a little higheron their priority lists in the face ofgrowing changes in the climate.

Its no surprise really; studiesshow that people are becomingmore and more concerned about theenvironment. e Green Party inparticular has been steadily growing in

its own voter support. In the last federalelection, about 660,000 Canadians

voted for the Green Party; thats onein twenty-two people across Canada.In fact, public opinion polls show thatin the next election, the Green Party

vote will be in the millions. Surely, thismeans we can expect to be seeing moreof Canadas fastest growing politicalparty in the future.

ey say you can always go home,

but refugees from around the worldare finding this hard to do. Betweenthe need to return to where you comefrom and the need for security, manyrefugees have made the move back totheir homeland, but just because you

want something doesnt mean you canalways get it.

Since the 2003 American ledinvasion of Iraq, nearly two millionpeople fled their homes and randirectly into refugee status; a statusthat gives millions hope for a betterlife, or at least one that is more secure.So why is it that hundreds of refugeesnow seek to return to their homeland?For many Iraqi refugees the incentive ismoney. In 2005, the Iraqi governmentissued a statement that entitles eachIraqi family who moves back to theirhomeland a stipend of $800. Withconditions in refugee camps in Egypt

(where most Iraqi refugees now reside)worsening, and their inability to secure jobs as foreigners, $800 brings somepromise of starting over. But can $800rebuild the lives of those who facethe choice of continuing in a foreigncountry or returning to a war-tornhomestead?e United Nations Declaration of

Human Rights states that everyonehas the right to leave any country(including his own) and return to hisown country. Yet millions are findingthat obstacles stand in the way of doing

just this. Even Iraqi refugees, whomare paid to return, find that the largestobstacle is finding a home. With theirprevious homes either destroyed orinhabited by others, they are left withno place to go, and are thrown into asituation where they can now onlychoose their level of misery.e plight of returning refugees

is only worsened when the rootcauses of the conflict have not beenresolved. A recent example is thefailed attempt by Slobodan Milosevicto create a Greater Serbia by meansof a campaign of ethnic cleansing.In the aftermath, a commitment wasmade to aid in the rehabilitation andreintegration of returning refugees.

With this promising outlook formillions that had been displaced, manyattempted to return home only to find

themselves facing a G-rated version ofwhat they had fled earlier, and a brokenpromise. Some Serbs that try to returnfind themselves facing neighboursthat were past enemies, and that

without the streets heavily policed byinternational guards, the ethnic slursand attempts at ethnic-based violencestill exist. From the potential 100,000refugees that fled Kosovo, only some17,000 made the attempt to return,and of those only a third have madethe move permanent.e fear of facing old enemies can be

found beyond South-Eastern Europe,and not only by those returning. ManyIsraelis take issue with the legitimacyof Palestinian refugees right to returnto territory claimed by Israel in 1948

war. However, the UN mandates thatany refugees willing to return homeand live in peace with their neighbours,have the right to do so. Yet how cana refugee, who is clearly unwanted

within their own land, feel at home?How can they recreate all that theylost? ese are the questions many

refugees from around the world try toanswer while deciding whether or notreturning home is possible.

Beyond the political and economicaspects of the question of whether toreturn home, are the personal factors.Many refugees feel that uprootingtheir families over and over again candestroy any hope that they may havegained. No one wants to be a refugee.No one wants to feel like a stranger in aforeign land. rough personal travelsto the Middle East this past summer,it is easy to see the everyday distressthat refugees so eloquently hide andlive with. As one Afghani refugeecomments, my children have dreams,my wife has dreams, I have dreams; thebiggest one is to go home. But we haveto find where home is now.

Today, so many people take forgranted the fact that most of us cango home. Yet in reality home is nearly

unattainable for some. Althoughgiven money, support, and the right toreturn, refugees are left with a sense ofdisplacement. Many of them cant findtheir way back to what they rememberas home. Between feuding neighboursand destroyed memories, refugees havelittle to hope for, yet somehow everydaythey continue to march forward and ina courageous act, try their best to create

what we take for granted.ey say youcan always go home, but can you?

For millions of refugees worldwide, returning home simply isnt an option

Death By Exotic Particle?:e Large Hadron ColliderStuart Townsend

Looking Across the Universe:e Mount Allison GeminiObservatory

Erik Fraser

Argosy Contributor

The two domes of the Gemini Observatory on an early summer

morning

We are very lucky. On Wednesday,September 10, the human race dodgeda bullet; despite frantic attempts byconcerned citizens to put forth legal

injunctions to prevent this cataclysmicevent, it went ahead right on scheduleand only blind luck has us still aliveand able to congratulate ourselves onour good fortune.

Wait, what?e Large Hadron Collider, the

doomsday device referred to above, isa brand-new, much-maligned particleaccelerator which finished an initialtest last Wednesday. To great scientificexcitement, a single proton cruisedthe magnetic coils which will soonpropel more and faster particles alongthe LHCs twenty seven-kilometercircumference.

Built and administered by CERN,the worlds largest particle physicslaboratory, the LHC has captured theimaginations of both the mass mediaand a legion of doomsayers concernedthat the high-energy experiments that

CERN has planned could actuallydestroy the world.But should we worry? After all,

hadrons are simply bundles of quarks,and quarks are one of two fundamentalbuilding blocks of matter (theother being the lepton). How couldsmashing bunches of such friendlyparticles as quarks (originally namedby one of their discoverers as thesound atomic ducks make) destroythe world? Protons and neutrons,familiar examples of hadrons, havebeen colliding in the hallowed rings ofCERNs various particle acceleratorssince 1971, and the closest thing to adisaster theyve ever spawned are someterrible science fiction movie plotlines.

Plus, the scientific rewards ofpowering the LHC up are immense;scientists are hoping to see the elusiveHiggs boson, an as-yet undiscoveredparticle whose existence is predicted by

the Standard Model of particle physics.e proton-smashing experimentshoped to reveal the Higgs would helpexplain why matter has mass, but somescientists are worried about the safetyof all this particle-smashing.

Despite an independent reviewof the proposed experiments by theLHC Safety Study Group, a reviewof the previous review by a CERNcommittee, and official statementsfrom physics organizations around

the world contending that the LHCis safe, some believe that the proton-proton collisions slated for later this

year could create micro-black holes.

Proton collisions of the type fearedto create black holes occur quitefrequently in Ear ths upper atmosphere,and at even higher energies than thoseplanned in the collider. However,the LHCs opponents contend thedifference in relative speeds of thetwo colliding protons in the upperatmosphere force any freshly-mintedbonsai black holes away from theEarth, while the LHCs version of thiscommon natural event would not.

According to the work of StephenHawking, legend in cosmology andperhaps best known for his workon black holes, such micro-black

holes would literally evaporate ina shimmer of Hawking radiationshortly after their creation.e LHCsopponents are quick to fire back thatthis radiation has never been seen, onlymathematically proven.

Another hypothesis is that theLHCs experiments could createstrangelets, hadron-like objectscomprised not only of normal mattersup and down, but also strange,quarks. Such strangelets could initiate

a runaway fusion process, transformingall matter on the planet into morestrangelets.

Despite the generally accepted

unlikelyhood of these doomsdayscenarios, attempts have been madeto stop the LHC through litigation.Both the United States District Courtin Hawaii and the European Court ofHuman Rights have seen suits broughtagainst the LHC, but so far neitherhave amounted to anything.

A less far-fetched concern aroseSaturday when a Greek hacker teamcompromised the outer layers ofthe colliders control systems and

reportedly were only one proverbialstep away from accessing the CompactMuon Solenoid Experiment, a vitalcomponent.e hackers claimed they

only wanted to draw attention to theLHCs lack of digital protections.

Even if the colliders detractors arecorrect, theres still time to make yourpeace with any higher power you mightbelieve in - despite the fanfare thataccompanied the LHCs initial testing,nothing even remotely dangerous willhappen until October 21.

Humanity has always beenfascinated by the stars. Now, thanks tothe new Gemini Observatory, MountAllison students can indulge theirfascination.

Tucked away on the cor ner of Yorkand Salem Street, the Observatoryopened this past summer to theexcitement of the Physics departmentand its star-loving students. Wordis spreading quickly over this newfacility, and there are lots of goodreasons why.e Mount Allison Gemini

Observatory is named after the zodiacconstellation, Gemini, also knownas the Twins. As you walk through

the wooden gate on your first trip tothe observatory, it is not difficult todetermine the reasoning behind thenaming. e entirely solar-poweredsite consists of two large, identicaldomes (3.5m in diameter), equipped

with motor controlled shutters.e Celestron C-11 telescopes

inside allow for a view of up to 70xmagnification. e telescopes arestationed atop a Losmandy TitanGerman Equatorial Mount, complete

with a Gemini GoTo system. isstate-of the art system gives studentsthe option of automatically aligningthe telescope to over 41,000 celestialobjects at the touch of a button.At around $35,000 for just one set(telescope, dome and computer), ittook a considerable donation by theBell Funding Committee for theproject to begin. Ask any visitor to

the Observatory, though, and they will surely tell you that the cost ofthe project and the long wait for itscompletion have been well worth it.

Fronted by one of Mount Allisonscurrent Astronomy professors, Dr.Robert Hawkes, the observatory willnow play an important role in the

way all Mount Allison Astronomyprograms are run from now on.Astrophysics and Astronomy classes

will be taking more trips out late atnight to study the brilliant night sky.On September 11 2008, students fromDr. Hawkes Physics 1001 class flockedto the domes to gaze two million yearsinto the past as they observed thedistant Andromeda Galaxy. Students

were also able to catch a glimpse ofJupiter, which was showing offall fourof its Galilean moons that night. euniverse has been brought just a little

bit closer to these students.Not an astronomy student? Not

to worry! All students can check theobservatory website for a schedule oftours at www.mta.ca/gemini. MountAllisons Astronomy Society is alsoinviting all students out on October4 to celebrate Astronomy Day witha public viewing at the observatory.

is is your best chance to view theentire sky, right down to the horizon(but dont worry, the telescopes cantsee into your residences). e MountAllison Gemini Observatory is a hugeboon to this school, and is the bestopportunity for its students to viewthe entire universe.

It is the nigh-perfect sporting marriage of athleticprowess and intellectual agility thathas been sweeping Germany and the

world since its inception by Dutchartist Iepe Rubingh. Originallyconceived as a performance art pieceto explore the themes of aggressionmanagement and the connectionbetween a healthy mind and healthybody, chessboxing involves six, four-minute rounds of chess alternated withfive, three-minute boxing bouts. ematch is won with either a checkmateor a knockout in the ring.

Governed by the World Chessboxing

Organization (WCBO), the firstofficial match was the Middleweight

World Championship, held onNovember 14, 2003 between Iepethe Joker and Luis the Lawyer. Iepe

WCBO estimates around sixty percentof its applicants come from the boxing

world, with the remaining forty percentfrom the chess world; however, a truechampion must be proficient in bothin order to do well. Chessboxers comefrom all walks of life, from bankersto artists to construction workers,and classes are now being offered forchildren. Although there have been noofficial bouts with women competitors

the muddy, hurricane-ravaged fields,getting ready for their first matches.e teams are each facing their ownset of challenges and hurdles, butboth squads are confident that this isthe year for the Mounites to return tosoccer dominance.

Mens Soccer

2008 saw no Mountie mens playersgraduate, giving coach Barry Coopera strong returning class. In the backend of the season, the team finished

well just missing the cut for the

playoffs. Cooper told his squad thatthe tryouts this fall would be moredifficult and encouraged all of themto push themselves. We wanted togo to a higher levelHaving told allthat they needed to come back in goodcondition and with the right attitude,I have to say, they did just that,Cooper says. In addition to the strong

returning players, Cooper pointed outseveral players that could be featuringin the near future. Matthew Bischof,Alex Zschiele, Tim Boschel, andStuart MacAdam are all new students,but as Cooper puts it in the end,these are the players who are going totake you forward.

While the individual players areexciting, it is clear that the emphasisof this year is placed upon the team.Cooper is working to ensure thatthe squad is strong both on and offthe field. Students may rememberthe activities the team was involved

with last year, including the twenty-four hour soccer tournament. Cooperhopes to continue these events andexpand the teams presence on campus.

e team is holding a fundraiser wherefans can donate a certain amount ofmoney for every goal the team scores.e money will go towards fundingteam building during the off-season

is year, Mount Allison is the hostfor the soccer playoffs, giving theman automatic bid. However, the team

wants to earn the right to be in theplayoffs. Our aim Cooper states, isto be the most improved teamtheonly unknown factor is how much.

Womens Soccer

ere is a feeling of anticipationsurrounding the womens soccerteam. Fans from last year will noticethat there are many new faces on thefield this fall. With only five thirdand fourth year students, the womensteam has a young nucleus of players.Second year player Allie MacLean hada hard time containing her excitementas she talks about the team and itsprospects for the upcoming season.Our competitiveness has skyrocketed.

We are capable of going pretty far this

season, she stated confidently. Whilemany people would see this season asa rebuilding year, MacLean believesthat it can be both a rebuilding seasonand a competitive one as well. With somany new faces, everyone is pushingeach other to perform. She pointsto the past weekends trips to UPEIand CBU as a time for the team to

work on one of the key ingredientsto a successful season: their off-fieldchemistry. e soccer team is yourfamilywere always there for oneanother, she explains. In order to havea solid team on the field, MacLeancontinues, its important to build thosebonds offthe field as well.

Both mens and womens teams arefocused and determined this season tobring home soccer glory to Sackville.Both squads have the capability to godeep into the postseason. All homesoccer matches are being played onMacAuley field, giving fans moreroom to cheer on the Mounties. Witheach team dreaming big, it should bean exciting season for both players andfans as the Mounties face up against atough AUS schedule.
