Thanks to grants worth almost half-a-million dollars from the Cana-dian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Roberto Botelho, a chem-istry and biology professor at Ryer-son, will be at the helm of a poten-tial scientific breakthrough over the next five years.

While the CIHR awarded Botel-ho the five-year operating grant in June, he was recently awarded the IG Maud Menten New Principal Investigator Prize for an additional $30,000 in May.

Botelho had the highest ranked application for a new investigator in his category, Cell Physiology, which was unusually competitive this year.

The CIHR awards 400 grants a year, with only 17 per cent of 2,000 applicants receiving funds. The funds will be used to pay graduate students involved in the research as well as for experimentation mate-rial.

The grants will help Botelho focus on studying tubular lysosomes, a minor mystery in the molecular sci-ence field.

Normal lysosomes function like stomachs within cells: they contain digestive enzymes which eliminate foreign bacteria and waste. Botelho hopes to establish why they mutate

in a tubular fashion and how they are maintained.

Botelho began this research in 2010, with PhD molecular science student Amra Saric as the driving

force behind experiments and in collaboration with the Hospital for Sick Children. Since then, his team has discovered the first proteins in-volved in the tubulation and muta-

tion processes.Botelho says there are hints tubu-

lation is linked to creating antibod-ies and removing bacteria.

“Ultimately, we’re hoping by studying [tubular lysosomes] we can target drug development,” says Botelho.

If his research can open up these opportunities, it may lead to elimi-nating autoimmunity, a condition which prevents an organism from distinguishing its own healthy cells from diseased ones. It attacks both, leading to auto-immune diseases such as lupus and a form of arthritis.

“There’s a considerable potential that this can be important,” says Botelho. “Only time will tell.”

But the success hasn’t gone to his head. For Botelho, the research rep-resents a mere fraction of what he hopes to accomplish.

“In many ways, it’s business as usual. You’ve got the money, gotta do the work now,” he says. ”It’s a little blip in what we want to keep doing if we want to make a differ-ence.”

In the future, Botelho’s research development can be found at his profile page on ryerson.ca.

Hundreds of confidential email ad-dresses belonging to students regis-tered with Ryerson’s access centre were compromised in a mass email sent out by the centre on Monday.

The email, titled “RE: Important Test Centre Procedure Change,” was sent out at 10:36 a.m. on Oct. 15 to more than 200 students who use both the Access and Test Cen-tres. Under policies set forth by Ryerson’s senate, mass messages of this kind are not permitted to dis-close personal information about the recipients. This one had all of their email addresses listed in the address line.

It was the first thing Mark Dukes noticed when he opened the email.

“I had to walk around [my room] because it boiled my blood,” said Dukes, a formerly registered Access Centre member with chronic mental health disabilities. “I feel violated.”

According to Senate Policy 159: Academic Accommodation of Stu-dents with Disabilities, “informa-

tion on accommodation is only released on a need-to-know basis within the university community or when the student consents to a broader release of information.” This includes members’ contact in-formation.

Shortly after noticing that all of the recipients’ email addresses were listed in the address line, Dukes sent out a mass email of his own.

“I wrote an email to everyone on that list asking them if they thought it was wildly inappropriate that emails were disclosed therefore re-vealing our identities as members of the access centre,” said Dukes, who is not registered with the Access Centre this semester.

By the end of the day, Dukes re-ceived nearly 20 responses from students who shared his concerns, primarily because most email ad-dresses use full names, making them easy to identify.

“I’ve gone out and I’ve advocat-ed [for mental health rights], I’ve disclosed my name before but that was of my own volition, that was my choice because it is my issue and mine alone,” he said.

“I’m supposed to be safe [at Ryer-son], anonymous. I don’t need other

students in my class looking at me thinking I’m nuts.”

Marc Emond, the manager of Ryerson’s access centre, admits that the centre made a mistake in reveal-ing the email addresses of its recipi-ents and assures that no other infor-mation was revealed.

“This was a human error and the list of recipients was added to the [email] and our procedure is to add that list of names to the ‘blind copy’ field,” said Emond.

“We’re aware that people can make assumptions about who’s on that list and they are somehow con-

nected with the Access Centre, but there’s nothing beyond that that’s evident by the list of email address-es.”

It was the first mass email that the Access Centre has sent since Ryer-son switched to Gmail on Oct. 9.

Since the message was sent, Emond has received various emails from students voicing their con-cerns.

“We consider this a mistake, it’s not something that I’m happy about and it certainly is something that we’re sorry occurred,” he said. “I’m following up with the privacy office

at Ryerson and certainly looking at our practices and procedures that will further guard against hu-man error.”

Still, Dukes is wary of the poten-tial repercussions of this breach of privacy.

“From here on out I don’t know where this email list went,” he said. “Once it left the hands of the Access Centre and went to every student on the list I don’t know where the hell it went.”

es were revealed during the process of

Canada’s universities are losing ground. It doesn’t matter whether you’re studying dance at Ryer-son or biomedical engineering at Queen’s — on the global scale a Ca-nadian university education isn’t as valuable as it once was.

In this year’s Times Higher Edu-

cation World University Rank-ings list, the University of Toronto dropped to number 21, meaning that as of now there is no Canadian university in the Top 20.

Other universities dropped fur-ther, in some cases falling 21 places on the list.

As you would expect, this news led to cries for educational reform, especially from university top brass.

The growth of Asian universities was outed as a potential cause of

Canadian universities being pushed down the ladder, with attention drawn to funding going into — and research coming out of — universi-ties in countries such as South Ko-rea, Singapore and China.

Cue another debate on whether Canadian universities are up to scratch. In Ontario a certain news-paper has began a study into the current provincial university sys-tem, based off of a proposal paper released earlier this year. The paper

has set three main goals to restruc-ture universities – shifting course material online, stretching courses to last year-round and allow three-year undergraduate degrees.

All well and good, and some interesting proposals, though the future of the proposal paper could be unsteady. Monday night saw the surprise announcement by Dalton McGuinty that he is leaving his post as Liberal leader. (Another an-nouncement regarded the suspen-sion of parliament, which is not to restart until the liberals find a new leader — not expected to happen until next year.)

So now the question is what will happen to the proposal paper. Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities Glen Murray, who re-leased the paper, is now seen as one option as a potential successor.

Depending on the outcomes the ideas could be applied or the paper, which has already drawn criticism, could be altered. It’s too early to tell, but whoever takes the role of Premier has the option of restruc-turing Ontario’s universities in what could be a radical way, or just ignore the proposals.

In the end, whether a focus is placed on students or profitable research, a choice has to be made. Even if it’s only to claw a way back to spot 20 on the list.

Reform plan all for nothing?Dalton McGuinty has resigned. That means an uncertain future for Ontario’s failing universities

Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, Glen Murray, released a proposal paper earlier this year that aims to radically reform Ontario’s university system. However, the future of the proposals could be uncertain after the surprise resignation of Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty Monday night.

Getting CreativeA new mix of business and creativity will be coming to Ryerson next fall, giving students a unique chance to exercise their skills

By AstoriaLuzzi

After five years of planning and de-velopment, Ryerson University is set to launch a new undergraduate pro-gram in the fall of 2013 that mixes business with the arts.

Titled creative industries, the pro-gram is the first of its kind in Cana-da as it aims to equip students who have an interest in creative arts with an entrepreneurial background.

Looking to create a hybrid pro-gram, Ryerson turned to Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Australia for program development inspiration. While QUT dedicates an entire faculty to the study of cre-ative industries, Ira Levine, the proj-ect director for creative industries at Ryerson, says that the curriculum formats differ by creating pathways to other specialized programs in the faculty of communication and de-sign (FCAD).

The introduction to business stud-ies will give students the chance to pair artistic industry management with a foundation in creative skills and theories.

“The structure of [creative indus-tries] is that students will be able to take courses in all of the profes-sional schools in the faculty,” said Levine.

The unique structure of the new program caught the attention of Anthony Pazzano, a first-year stu-dent at Ryerson who dropped out of Business Management and is strug-gling to choose a different career path next fall.

A few weeks into his original pro-gram, Pazzano decided that it didn’t offer what he had hoped it would.

“Accounting isn’t my forte and the business program seemed to be catered towards students with strong accounting skills who en-joyed number crunching,” he said.

McGuinty steps down as Premier

After hearing about the new pro-gram, Pazzano said it will be one of his top choices when changing pro-grams next fall.

“I want a career that is creative but still practical,” he said.

Levine feels the new program will attract students like Pazzano who wish to combine their skills, or who are not quite clear on what aspect of the industry they want to pursue as a career.

“They need a more interdisciplin-ary approach to start with or [they] are quite keen on working in a busi-ness or management or communica-tions related job but want to do it within one of the creative fields,” he said.

Whereas other FCAD programs offer a more production-oriented experience, creative industries will balance that with teaching manage-ment skills and creative entrepre-

neurship. However, students who take the creative industries program will have to graduate with at least ten business-related courses.

But unlike other FCAD programs that require an essay or portfolio, the creative industries program only requires a minimum 70 per cent av-erage in a grade 12 university-level English course and recommends that students complete an upper level business or fine arts course or have some understanding of the fields before taking the program.

Brian Damude, interim associate dean of faculty and student affairs for FCAD says there are no concerns that the program will detract inter-est from other schools in FCAD.

“It may actually help,” he said. “There is so much demand that it may help people choose more care-fully.”

Stewart Poirier, 53, confessed on Oct. 10 to setting fire to the former home of Salad King and the Empress Hotel. The building at the corner of Yonge and Gould streets was demol-ished not long after the six-alarm blaze broke out on Jan. 3, 2011.

The National Bank donated $330, 000 to Ryerson University earlier this month to fund a new labora-tory for students in the Ted Rogers School of Management. The Na-tional Bank Bloomberg Lab will ca-ter to students in Ryerson’s school of accounting and finance set to launch this fall. The lab is named after Ryer-son’s new chancellor and the bank’s director, Lawrence Bloomberg.

After nine years in office, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty resigned from the province’s top job Monday night. In his surprise resignation speech, McGuinty claimed “politi-cal games” were holding Ontario back, and called for “renewal.” His last act was to prorogue the legis-lature, putting activity at Queen’s Park on hold until the Ontario Lib-erals choose their next leader.

Food trucks find home near campus

Until plans to develop are confirmed and expansion begins, the empty lot at the corner of Yonge and Gould streets will be a permanent home to an assortment of food trucks.

In the past few weeks, signs have gone up marking the space formerly occupied by the Empress Hotel as a “Food Truck Lot.”

“It’s a great spot,” said Frank Kocis, food truck trade associa-tion worker and event organizer for Food Truck Eats. “It’s close to Ryerson and we can’t serve off the streets, so until anything happens the trucks will be here.”

Kocis and lead organizer Suresh Doss created Food Truck Eats as an organization dedicated to advancing food trucks in the Greater Toronto

By Ramisha Farooq Area. Last March, Food Truck Eats partnered with the University of To-ronto. The group also stopped by Ryerson last November.

Many students are also excited about the new food choices at the edge of campus.

“It being permanent makes get-ting lunch or dinner so much easi-er,” said Nadine Farhat, a first-year graphic communications manage-ment student at Ryerson. “There is more access to food on campus.”

There are very few unique on campus eateries for students many of which close on the weekend, lim-iting food choice.

“I’d rather them partner with Food Truck Eats than develop other areas of the school like the Mattamy Athletic Centre,” says Meg Chang, a third year fashion student.

“It’s just more relevant in regards

to the student population.”Despite the advantages, some stu-

dents are concerned that the perma-nent presence of the food trucks will impede their healthy lifestyles.

“Putting them into the equation doesn’t promote healthy options for food,” said Lia Richardson, a first-year urban and regional planning student. Kocis assures that food trucks offer a variety of healthy op-tions.

“People want more. They want eating at food trucks to become a part of their daily routine,” said Ko-cis. “I’m waiting for the day where you’ll be able to walk to the corner for food. Making the lot permanent is a start.”

Although nothing is confirmed, Kocis says the organization is look-ing to create partnerships with other post-secondary schools in Toronto.

Ryerson bid farewell to former Chancellor Raymond Chang at a ceremony held at the Coca Cola Court in the Mattamy Athletic Cen-tre Monday.

“Ray has been here hour after hour, day after day,” said Phyllis Yaffe, chair of Ryerson’s board of governors. “He is here for us in the small things and he is here for us in the big things.”

Ryerson President Sheldon Levy agreed, saying that Chang was his partner in his endeavours with the image arts building, the acquisition of Sam the Record Man and the closing of Gould Street.

“My presidency is so much a function of the success of what ev-

eryone does and there’s no one who has done more for me,” Levy said.

Chang first partnered with the university after hearing about Levy dolling out money to students re-questing funding.

After seeing that students were essentially given money for having good ideas, he wrote a check for $100,000 and told Levy to approve more students.

The namesake of the Chang School of Continuing Education as-sured this reception wouldn’t be the last Ryerson saw of him, saying that he will be doing what he does best — working behind the scenes.

“It’s paradoxical,” Chang said. “I went to U of T and York. Just like I am Jamaican by birth, Chinese by heritage — but by choice I am Cana-dian— by choice I’m a Ryersonian.”

With an air of curiosity, Ryerson President Sheldon Levy boots up his computer and logs into iTunes U. He wants to see for himself what a great online course looks like, so he enrolls in one on genetics. The resulting experience, he says, was positive, but something was missing.

“The content was excellent,” Levy says. “But do I think that it was good enough for a course? No way, because I had no one to talk to. I didn’t have a student, I didn’t have a faculty member.”

Levy says that the content should have included class time, but that setback isn’t going to get in the way of Levy’s effort to make Ryerson a leader in online learning.

On Sept. 28 Ryerson Univer-sity proposed an expansion of the school’s current online course op-tions by 600 credits over the next five years in a strategic mandate agreement (SMA), addressed to Glen Murray, Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities.

The SMA requests $2 million an-nually for five years to enable an in-crease to 120 online courses created per year, twice the current number. It would also enable an increase in full degree programs offered online.

Ryerson currently offers 282 de-gree-credit programs, 186 non-cred-it courses, three degree programs,

and 23 certificates fully online, five blended degree programs and 20 blended certificates.

The goal of the expansion is to improve accessibility and provide pathways for the increasingly large number of applicants and to provide cost-effective development for the community, according to the man-date.

Gerald Mak, a fourth-year busi-ness technology management stu-dent and member of the Ryerson Students’ Union (RSU) board of di-rectors, has noticed the increase in student population first hand.

Mak noted enrolment in the Ted Rogers School of Management (TRSM) has shot up between four and six per cent in the past year.

“The TRSM building has never

seen so many students sitting on the floors, in the hallways,” he says. “I barely go in because it’s so packed.”

Third-year fashion communica-tion student Victoria Sinko says she would appreciate a broader variety of courses available at the Chang School of Continuing Education when pursuing an online credit. However, Sinko added the change could affect Ryerson’s reputation as an experiential university.

“Practical learning [is] what we’re known for,” Sinko says. “If we of-

By DakshaRangan

fer all these online courses and then we have programs like architecture of fashion, which are all in-studio, hands-on based work, what happens to the reputation of my program if these all become online courses? Are we focusing on hands-on, or are we focusing on online?”

Ryerson is not, however, intent on fully online credits like those currently run through the Chang School. Instead, the focus will be on multi-purpose courses that couple strong, accessible online content with practical interaction.

Keith Hampson, a consultant for the Alton Road Group, and a former head of the online team at Ryerson, says development of such hybrid courses would not be a radical departure for the school.

Going beyond the classroom

The Toronto-based Alton Road Group specializes in the study of higher and digital education.

“If it’s hybrid, that isn’t a radical departure for traditional brick and mortar institutions,” he says.

“If you do need to go fully on-line, and you do want to do it well, then you have to change [the struc-ture of content delivery] in very sig-nificant ways, and that’s a very big distinction.”

Mak adds that online learning is a good way of making education ac-cessible to students sooner, without the need to construct and further develop buildings on the campus’s already restricted space.

“The number one benefit of online is still convenience,” says Hampson. “It’s not about learning styles, but by and large it’s about convenience ... and it’s going to serve that need, no matter how [uni-versities] do it.”

Despite the convenience of online education, some students are con-cerned about a possible decline in the quality of education.

“Our issue with online courses is that students are going to be paying the same high unaffordable tuition fees and getting a lower quality edu-cation for it,” says Melissa Palermo, vice-president education at the RSU.

“A high-quality affordable educa-tion, with learning in the classroom, learning from our peers, interacting with our professors is really the best university experience that a student can achieve.”

With files from Sean Wetselaar

Ryerson recently released its annual strategic mandate agreement, which proposed its intention to add 600 online courses over the next five years. But what does that mean for the students?

“The number one benefit of online [courses] is still convenience.”

As he lays down his head to fall asleep, the walkie-talkie beside his bed crackles to

life and Stefan Simonyi springs out of his bed without hesitation. Af-ter completing a quick check of his supplies and fastening a 20 pound equipment bag to his back, Simonyi rushes out of Pitman Hall room 202 and replies to the call, “Copy Delta One. RyeSERT on route.”

Within minutes, Simonyi will be at the scene of an injury, executing any number of non-invasive medi-cal procedures ranging from record-ing their vitals to performing CPR. Along with Ryerson security and emergency services staff, Simonyi is responsible for calling an ambu-lance and relaying his findings to paramedics upon their arrival, with no room for panic.

“Keeping a cool head is the most important thing to remember,” he says. No matter how late it may be, once the silence in RyeSERT (Ryer-son Student Emergency Response Team) headquarters is broken by

the call on his transmitter, Simonyi is alert — someone in residence is in need of assistance.

RyeSERT is a student group that provides basic medical care to on-campus residents, a dedicated group of student volunteers from a variety of programs who sign up for on-call shifts each week from Thursday to Sunday. All volunteers must com-plete Standard First Aid and CPR C courses (the level of course taken by police officers, fire fighters, first responders, workplace First Aid teams and lifeguards) as well as the RyeSERT on-call training program. Collectively, members are required to complete 19 hours of training in addition to updated medical instruc-tion every few months.

Simonyi, a second-year arts and

contemporary studies student, has worked with RyeSERT since his first year. He joined the group on a friend’s recommendation and is now the Training Officer, which is great experience along his path to become a paramedic.

Simonyi says that the group has grown by recruiting at student fairs and orientation events. “The expan-sion benefits everyone in the com-munity,” Simonyi says. “When the group was smaller, the executive team had to cover shifts when the time slots weren’t filled. We were all exhausted from always being on-call.” The group started the fall se-mester with fewer than 20 members, but thanks to campaigning at the beginning of the year, their numbers have risen to 67 student volunteers.

While volunteers for the program are on duty, they reside on the sec-ond floor of Pitman Hall in a room that contains a bunk bed, desk, and all of the RyeSERT equipment. “You can get your work done, but when you’re on-call that’s the first thing on your mind,” says Simonyi.

Students can work overnight shifts alone, but often work in pairs. While they are helping injured resi-dents, they spend their time complet-ing schoolwork, watching movies, or sleeping — with their walkie-talkie on full volume, of course. Once a resident dials “80” from any internal phone, the Ryerson security team receives the call and dispatches RyeSERT. Simonyi recalls a time when there weren’t enough volun-teers to fill the weekend’s schedule, so he remained on-call for 72 con-secutive hours, most of it alone.

After RyeSERT receives the mes-sage, the on-duty volunteers accom-pany security to the scene and it is up to them to determine whether calling an ambulance is an appro-priate next step. RyeSERT does not perform invasive medical treatments and, unlike campus security, mem-bers are not permitted to administer oxygen because the group is not af-filiated with a doctor. “We have a great relationship with the security staff,” Simonyi says. “They seem happy to have us around and they do what they can to assist our new members.”

So far this semester, RyeSERT has responded to six calls, none of which

required hospital treatment. The first call was an incident in which a resident stubbed their. “Most of the calls we receive are non-emergen-cies. It’s still a good idea to call us so the student can know their injury will be handled properly,” Simonyi says, as he scans the thorough re-ports that are filled out during and

after each incident.He says they receive most calls on

Saturday nights. “Many incidents are alcohol-related. We are assist-ing students in residence after all,” he says. “Most of the time they just need an ice pack.”

After hundreds of hours on duty, Simonyi has never been called to the scene of a life-threatening injury. However, RyeSERT is striving to implement a 24/7 on-call system to handle potential incidents that occur throughout the week. “Injuries can happen anytime and with more vol-unteers, we may be able to extend our hours,” he says, noting that se-rious injuries, such as anaphylactic shock, can happen at any time.

The group does not plan to stop there. RyeSERT’s executive team is seeking to do more this year outside of headquarters in order to educate students and increase awareness about their group’s work on cam-pus. “We’re moving fast this year,” Simonyi says. “There’s a lot on the table.” The team is also working on establishing a partnership with St. John Ambulance, a Canadian or-ganization that instructs classes on first aid and CPR.

RyeSERT is funded by the Proj-ect-Funds Allocation Committee for Students (P-FACS). Since RyeSERT is considered a student group rather than a university service, the team receives $5,000 annually, but Simo-nyi does not think this is enough.

The biggest expense is uniforms, as it is important to wear blood and

pathogen-resistant clothing while in close contact with anyone who has been injured.

“We want to hire a professional to train our volunteers and ensure a consistent level of care, but EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) courses cost $1,000 per student,” Si-monyi says. The additional training would extend the types of treatment RyeSERT is able to provide, so the team is planning ways to secure this opportunity for volunteers.

Simonyi says that training is a sig-nificant part of their role with the university. In addition to perform-ing pre-hospital treatment to injured students, RyeSERT offers Standard First Aid and CPR C courses at a lower rate. The focus is to instruct any member of the Ryerson Com-munity on how to perform useful life skills as well as the ability to exercise a level or preparedness in an emergency situation. Alex Best, outgoing director of RyeSERT, leads classes on weekends, though the next session date has not yet been determined.

Learning these skills has given Simonyi the ability to help family and friends in case of an emergency. “Just recently, I had to step up to the plate and hand off my mom’s vitals to paramedics when she was feeling symptoms of a heart attack,” Simo-nyi says.

Not long before that incident, he was exiting a subway train when he saw an elderly woman get hit by a closing door and fall on her hip. While waiting for an ambulance to arrive, Simonyi conducted a scene survey, identified himself and asked permission to assist her, then began to check her levels of consciousness.

From his training and experience with RyeSERT, he knew the correct questions to ask the injured woman and how to support her until the ambulance arrived, at which point Simonyi relayed his findings to a paramedic.

Any full time Ryerson student or member of the Ryerson Students’ Union is eligible to apply. RyeSERT is currently looking for an equip-ment officer to join the executive team, and positions are always open for “inoperative” members, who as-sist with administration and events but do not work on-call.

In talking with one of the founding members of the student group, The Eyeopener discov-ered a bit about its roots.

Scott McLeod, a primary care paramedic and volunteer firefighter, was a theatre pro-duction student who graduated from Ryerson in 2007. In 2005, he was a second year and a senior student in residence, when his friend Joshua Bezanson pointed out that Ryerson was one of the last schools in Ontario without a student response team.

“We were all friends from various floors in residence,” says McLeod of the five or six stu-dents who initially got together, all with differ-ent levels of certifications and experience.

Gabriel Lazdins, who was a graphics com-munications management student at the time, had experience as a volunteer firefighter and medic. Lazdins went on to become director of RyeSERT in 2009 and is now a web applica-tion developer in human resources at Ryerson.

“With his background and our motivation we started out the team,” says McLeod. “The team had high goals even if we didn’t [always] accomplish them.”

RyeSERT today, which primarily works as an on-call campus service, was what the origi-nal group was hoping to achieve.

“That was the initial goal, however [it] was met with a lot of trepidation on cam-pus initially,” says McLeod, decribing a gen-eral unease in trusting students with medical care.

Until they acheived their on-call status in September 2009, which has since halted for a period and started up again in March 2011, they worked as on site medical as-sistance for different events run by the Ry-erson Students’ Union, called the Ryerson Students’ Administrative Council (RyeSAC) until 2006. This helped them keep interest in their services while they worked out the logistics of being on-call.

They also ran first-aid classes to earn money and recruit more members into their training program and ran mock disaster situ-ations to raise awareness.

They also helped Toronto Emergency Services at events like Nuit Blanche and the Scotiabank AIDS Walk For Life. The off-campus portion of the service dissolved at one point to focus on their on-call status.

“The original founding members still talk to each other quite a bit,” says McLeod. “If I never met Josh in residence, I wouldn’t be a paramedic today.”

During reading week, you convince yourself that you will get some work done, but a regular reading week schedule consists of three things: sleep, sleep, and more sleep.

But the minute it’s over, it dawns on you how much you have to do and that you nowhave successfully wasted an entire week. Midterms, papers, readings, and tests are loom-ing over you and stress sets in. Cue dramatic music.

Don’t worry, you’ll survive. Here are some tips to help you de-stress:

1. Make a to-do listIt’s easy to lose track of due dates when you have so much on your plate. The physical act of writing a list will help you feel more orga-nized, even if you never refer to it

later on. It plans out the work load in your mind.2. Listen to musicTake a break and listen to a few of your favorite songs. The right type of music can lower blood pressure. Seriously, even science says so. So crank up some tunes, jam and relax. You’ll feel better and be more pro-ductive.

3. Take a bubble bathYou can’t go wrong with a long, hot

bath. Dip your head under the wa-ter, the sound is really soothing and works wonders if you have a head-ache. Once you’re done, you’ll feel relaxed and prepared to tackle the enormous pile of books waiting for you back in your room.

4. Go for a walkWhen lighting your textbooks on fire begins to seem like an appeal-ing idea, you need to get away from your desk for a while. Go outside.

1. Smoking Slippers

They’ve been in all summer, and they’ll continue to be in through the fall. They’re the better-looking, tougher version of bal-let flats.

You can find smoking slippers with studs, animal prints, or even in bright colours. They’re comfy enough for walking around but still fashionable.

2. Coloured and printed pants

With all the floral print and colourful pants, say good-bye to the old jeans.

3. Knit Sweaters

Lucky for those who hate the cold, thick and baggy sweaters are back in this fall. The cable knit and poncho-style ones are a common sight. But you’ll also see a lot of geometric and “couch” prints, such as brocade.

Pair them with a pair of lace-up boots and a scarf and you’ll be comfy.

Not only that, but they range in prices. Pick up the more fashionable ones at Topshop or head to Kensington Market for vintage prints.

4.Statement Collars

Normally an accessory on dressier shirts, statement collars are studded or have metallic and beaded ac-cents. You can buy state-ment collar necklaces at stores like Forever 21 and H&M and wear them over t-shirts to add some quirk to any outfit.

5. Mustard Yellow/

Wear anything oxford red (right) or mustard yellow (left) and your outfit will be automatically fashionable.

Ryerson takes on Gangnam Style

Ryerson students are creating a parody of the most liked music vid-eo to ever hit Youtube: Gangnam Style. Currently standing at just over 470 million views and four million likes, the “Gangnam Style” video broke the Guinness World Record for most liked YouTube video.

“Gangnam Style” is a satire in which rapper-singer PSY, a Korean pop sensation, makes fun of Gang-nam, Seoul’s wealthiest district in South Korea where young people party. In the video, PSY tries to at-tract girls by telling them that he has ‘Gangnam style.’

But what has really captivated viewers is the ridiculous, trotting dance the video features. It has been compared to this era’s Ma-carena since both dances involve quirky moves, catchy lyrics, and represent a stylistic fad of the day.

In response, the parody phe-nomenon exploded, seeing Ameri-can universities, such as Ohio, Maryland, and Oregon universi-ties mocking the original video. In Canada, York, McMaster, Carleton and Calgary universities have fol-

lowed the trend.“We saw that the whole song was

going viral,” said Furqan Nawaz, a second-year engineering student and the creator of Ryerson’s paro-dy video. “So we said, ‘Why not, as Ryerson students, we [can] do a much better job than York and show off some Ryerson spirit.’”

Along with a group of friends,

Nawaz has spent over 30 hours rehearsing, planning and shooting the video, which is to be released later this month.

Nearly 500 people are expected to gather on Wednesday to dance for the final shoot, according to the Facebook event page.

Nawaz originally created the Facebook group in the spur of the moment, with the goal of nabbing a few close friends. But thanks to word-of-mouth and a proposed marketing plan the creators have high expectations.

“We want this thing to go viral like the original video,” said co-cre-

ator Jeff Nham. He hopes Ryerson will be able to achieve in one week what York University achieved in four weeks: receive 250,000 views.

“It would be nice to have a mil-lion views,” he said.

But it’s not just the creators who think the video will do well. Ryer-son’s student life programs coor-dinator, Lesley D’Souza, also sup-ports the project.

“Ryerson supports student ini-tiatives like this creative video as they help create our vibrant cam-pus community,” she said.

Michael Forbes, Ryerson’s chief media spokesperson, agrees.

“This video only confirms how strong the student spirit is, how committed the students are to be-ing creative and positive.”

For Ryerson, joining the parody race late in the game was beneficial. Other videos have become a great way of gaining feedback on what not to do.

According to Nham, Ryerson’s video will be different in that it will have something uniquely authentic about it. But he says it is a secret that he isn’t willing to expose.

“It’ll be worth [it]. It’ll be our big finale,” Nham said. “Students will just have to wait and see.”

12 WednesdayOct.172012Biz&tech

Two companies that Ryerson’s Digital Media Zone (DMZ) helped incubate and accelerate have been named in TechVibes’ 2012 Cana-dian Startup Index. 500px (read 500 pixels), an online photography community, ranked in at number four and Vizualize.me, a free ser-vice that transforms LinkedIn pro-file data into infographic resumes ranked in at number 68.

As Canada’s premier technology media website for all things social, mobile, and startup oriented, Tech-Vibes curates a top 100 list of tech-nology startups based on Alexa.com, a recognized website tracking company that uses their system to collect traffic data.

While some of the companies on the index are far from what you might call startups (e.g. HootSuite, PlentyofFish), it shows the calibre of those listed.

These two companies stand to gain awareness from this achieve-ment because TechVibes’ has tens of thousands of social media fol-lowers.

“The exposure from a listing like this is great. We hope it translates

into positive attention and new business for us,” said Eugene Woo, founder of Vizualize.me and its par-ent company Venngage.

Exposure garnered from this and other events, including an upcom-ing public demo of the company’s other data visualization products, will be pivotal to long-term success as Venngage focuses its strategic eye on enterprise markets.

In an email, Roxy Keshavarznia, executive assistant at 500px, de-scribed the feeling of being a top Canadian startup as “great and sur-real.”

What began as a passion project for photography junkies Oleg Gut-sol and Evgeny Tchebotarev has bloomed into a 24 person opera-tion. It provides hundreds of thou-sands of professional and amateur photographers around the world with a community to share, discuss, buy and sell photos.

Both companies have since moved on from the DMZ, but would be re-miss not to acknowledge the impact it has had on them. “They provided us with tools, space, and resources to get us started. We made a lot of

friends and connections during our time,” Keshavarznia said.

Woo noted that “the DMZ’s value is the collaboration and innovation you get from working with others in such a synergistic environment.”

He is also thankful of their hands off approach, “…[the approach] makes it the best deal in town from an equity standpoint, but it means you’re not being pushed. You must be ready to motivate yourself con-tinuously.”

For students thinking of start-ing their own business, Woo shares some advice. “Success comes down to execution and survival. There were other companies trying what we were early on, but we got there first,” he said. “Now it’s about stay-ing in the game; a lot of the time the companies that succeed are the ones who can survive longest. Get out there with your idea when you are young and stick with it.”

Keshavarznia warns entrepre-neurs to “do more homework. Learn from [others’] mistakes, use the resources available to you, net-work, [and] don’t ever sleep...just kidding,” she said.

Video games weren’t always art-ist game designer Chris Solarski’s passion. After getting his BA, in computer animation and working at Sony Entertainment as a 3D en-vironment and character artist for two years, Solarski started to take an interest in classic art techniques and almost “ditched video games altogether.”

Fortunately, he found a way to combine classical art and video games and he’s coming to Ryer-son to share his ideas. Solarski’s book, Drawing Basics and Video Game Art: Classic to Cutting Edge Art Techniques for Winning Video Game Design, is both a reference for fellow game designers and an explanatory text on how video games are created.

In both the book and in his North America wide presentation, Solarski first highlights which visual ele-ments create certain emotions in players and how developers can use these elements in their future gam-ing designs. As he explains, many current games have a narrow emo-tional experience and are simply played to kill zombies or compete with friends. He wants to create games that are comparable to music or movies in their ability to evoke emotion in the audience.

Solarski hopes that viewers of his presentation “get a completely new understanding of how emotions are generated in interactive environ-ment.” He presents at Ryerson’s Eaton Lecture Theatre on Oct. 17, from 6:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.

Ryerson Quidditch wins first match in team history

Michael Jan (2) and the men’s soccer team applaud fans after their 2-2 draw versus the University of Toronto last Sunday. The Rams can lock up third place in the OUA East with a win in either of their remaining two regular season games, or if U of T loses or ties even one of their remaining three. Gabriel Lee spoke to Jan about the season , the return of Alex Braletic to the team, and what it’s like to play alongside his brother Luke. For that conversation, check out theeyeopener.com

1-on-1 with Michael Jan

By Charles Vanegas

The Ryerson Ridgebacks reached a new milestone last weekend, host-ing the first annual Ryerson Quid-ditch Invitational tournament. The first competition of the 2012-13 season also featured teams from McMaster University, the University of Guelph, and both the St. George and Scarborough (UTSC) campuses from the University of Toronto, and was played in Kerr Hall Quad. The event also brought another first for the Quidditch club: winning. For the first time in its three-year history, Ry-erson’s team won – a overtime victory against McMaster. And they didn’t stop there, finishing with a record of 3-1 — good for second place after U of T, who went undefeated.“Winning those [first] matches was

fantastic after coming so close so many times last season,” said former captain Suraj Singh, who continues to help coach and play for the team. “I want to look at this year as a fresh start, a fresh slate. So from that perspective we’re starting off on a

positive note.”Singh said the key difference this

year is numbers. Teams can carry up to 21 players, allowing for each team to have 14 substitutes available. “We used to have just enough to fill

out a squad. Without subs, you just get exhausted,” said Singh. “We’re near that (having a full roster), which is exciting.”This increase in membership also

meant that most players at the invi-tational were playing in their very first competition for the Ridgebacks. Among them was Sheel Radia, a first-year engineering student. But the rookie’s lack of experience was easily made up for by his speed. Playing as the seeker, Radia won the team’s sec-ond match by capturing the snitch in overtime. “It was a childhood dream to catch

the snitch,” said Radia.In the Harry Potter series, a Quid-

ditch match only ends when a team’s seeker has captured the golden snitch, an erratic flying ball. In the real-life game, the snitch is a little sack tied to a person, much like a flag in flag football — usually one of the quick-est and craftiest players from a non-participating team. But just like in the

novels, the snitch can disappear from the playing field at any time, meaning seekers need to stay alert.“You have to listen [closely] to other

people,” said Radia. “You can hear them say ‘oh, the snitch went here,’ so you have to run over and see if [it’s] there. If not, you keep searching.”Despite receiving official athletic

club status this year, which allows it to use Ryerson Rams branding, the team still prefers to be known as the Ridgebacks — after the Norwegian Ridgeback, a breed of dragon in the Potter series.“We’re a club, not a varsity team.

And we’ve been the Ridgebacks unof-ficially since we started,” said Singh. “So now it’s kind of half tradition, half nerdy inside joke.”And while the game itself comes

from a work of fiction, the injuries are very real. Quidditch is a contact sport, and

as long as it isn’t done in a choking manner or from behind, tackling is allowed. Shaughna Boara, a first-year RTA

student, was taken to the hospital in an ambulance after suffering a minor concussion when a hit by a U of T beater sent her head into the turf.“I was expecting [the level of con-

tact], but not [the] ambulance ride,” said Boara. “The ground of the Quad is super hard.”Boara will miss the team’s next few

practices, but said she expects to re-turn in time for the Canadian Quid-ditch Cup on Nov. 11, which is host-ed by Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont.Students interested in joining the

team can visit the Ryerson Quidditch page on Facebook or drop by a week-ly practice. (Sundays at 4 p.m. in Kerr Hall Quad.)

Hoops festival forces hockey out of MACBy Harlan Nemers

The Ryerson Rams men’s hockey team will once again play a home game away from home — for at least one game due to a scheduling conflict. With the Mattamy Athletic Centre’s

arena set to host the first annual Ry-erson Hoops Festival on Saturday, which includes the men’s basketball team’s matchup against the NCAA’s Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Ryer-son had to find the hockey team an-other place to play.Stephanie White, associate director

of athletics, said they have been try-ing to find a venue to host the Rams’ second regular season game against the RMC Paladins for the last six weeks. The team’s home opener on Friday versus Queen’s University will still be played at the MAC.Originally, Ryerson Athletics con-

firmed the team would be hosting Saturday’s game at Ricoh Coliseum, home of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ AHL-affiliate Toronto Marlies. “If we can’t hold our game at home,

we’re very pleased to hold it at Ricoh Coliseum,” said White. But the arrangement hit a snag late

last Monday. While Ryerson had an agreement to play Saturday after-noon, prior to the Marlies 7 p.m.

game, they failed to factor in their opponent’s schedule. The Paladins played Nipissing University the pre-vious night. With the four-hour drive from North Bay, Ont., RMC didn’t feel that an afternoon game was feasible. To allow for a 7 p.m. start time, the game has been relocated to the GM Centre in Oshawa. Even before the most recent change

of plans, not everyone was happy to move a home game away from the MAC. “I would much rather play at our

rink. I don’t really understand why the basketball team has the ability to kick us out of our home rink,” said second-year defenceman Brian Birkhoff. “We lose home ice advan-tage — we don’t know the bounces, won’t have our dressing room and [fewer] fans will come and watch.”The Ryerson Hoops Festival will

include a women’s game versus the Memorial University Sea-Hawks at 3 p.m., as well as the men’s basketball game versus Wake Forest at 7 p.m. In addition to the men’s hockey

conflict, a women’s hockey match-up against Western University had to be moved to January to accom-modate the Hoops Festival.

The men’s hockey team plays its home opener vs. Queen’s on Friday at 7:30 p.m., before being moved to the GM Centre in Oshawa to host RMC on Saturday.
