Western engineering
nearly tops rankings

NEWS EDITOR
Western engineering houses sever-
al mega-projects including a team
that builds and races Formula-style
racing cars.
Placing fifth in the world in 2009,
Western’s Formula racing team
gave the engineering faculty some-
thing to brag about. But with recent
Globe & Mail rankings, Western
engineers have even more reason
to boast.
According to the “2011 Canadi-
an University Report,” Western beat
out McMaster University, Universi-
ty of Waterloo, and the University of
Toronto in quality of education for
engineering programs.
According to J. M. Floryan, chair
of mechanical engineering, West-
ern’s lab equipment and concur-
rent degree programs are the dri-
ving force behind the program’s
rapidly growing reputation as one
of Canada’s leading schools for
engineering sciences.
“We’ve put a lot of work into the
engineering faculty in the last 10 to
15 years. We’ve created a lot of inter-
esting programs, especially concur-
rent programs like law, medicine,
computer science and business. We
essentially have programs in place
that allow us to make any combi-
nation of concurrent degrees,” Flo-
ryan said.
“Also we have probably the best-
equipped labs in the country
according to departmental reviews
done by other schools,” he added.
For engineering students, small
class sizes play an integral role in
thegazette
WESTERN’S DAILY STUDENT NEWSPAPER SINCE 1906
Western’s growing reputation.
“From what I hear from other
schools, we’re a very tight-knit
group because we’re a lot smaller
than other engineering societies,”
said Christa Heynen, vice-president
external for the Undergraduate
Engineering Society at Western.
“Comparing frosh size this year,
Western had around 310 students
whereas Waterloo had around 1,700
students — and that’s just frosh.
That’s definitely going to affect the
quality of education — our class
sizes aren’t as big,” Heynen contin-
ued.
Heynen also noted the Globe &
Mail rankings might be a result of
the new green process engineering
module — a discipline focusing on
environmentally-friendly chemical
products.
“I’m in it and we’re the first grad-
uating class to have it. It began in
2009 and it’s definitely unique to
Western,” she said.
This feature sparked interest in
engineering students from other
universities.
“Green engineering is supposed
to be a big thing because society’s
running out of resources. I can see
the new program being a con-
tributing factor to the growing
respect of Western engineering,”
David Marczak, fourth-year engi-
neering student at McMaster, said.
Marczak believed the new green
process program will be a key ele-
ment in determining Western engi-
neering’s future prestige. But, like
several other non-Western engi-
neers, he seemed to be skeptical
about the academic integrity of

Western’s engineering program.
“I know Western has good pro-
grams, I just didn’t know this was
one of them. I don’t think it was one
of the first schools I applied to for
engineering. I applied to Waterloo,
McMaster, and U of T,” Marczak
said.
Administration is currently
investigating its reputation among
faculty, staff, students and alumni
with an extensive rebranding strat-
egy. The project intends to investi-
gate and solidify Western’s brand.
“I think it’s kind of hard to over-
come [a reputation] like that really
quickly, it’s something that takes
time. We have to continually show
schools that we’re performing aca-
demically. We have to say, ‘Yes we
have a good time but we work hard
too’,” Heynen said.
“I don’t think the reputation is a
bad thing. The social aspect is part
of what draws people to Western,
for better or worse. We don’t want
one type of person,” said Shaunvir
Sidhu, a representative for West-
ern’s Canadian Federation of Engi-
neering Students.
Andy Hrymak, dean of the facul-
ty of engineering for Western, con-
cluded that the Globe & Mail results
were consistent with how Western
emphasizes the undergraduate stu-
dent experience.
“That experience not only
includes the in-class and lab expe-
rience, but also student support
services, clubs, and learning oppor-
tunities such as internships,” Hry-
mak said.
Second possible
strike averted
Arden Zwelling
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
For the second time in three days, a
marathon negotiating session
between the University and a cam-
pus union averted a strike at West-
ern last week.
This time, the UWO Staff Asso-
ciation was able to reach a tentative
agreement with the University on a
new contract after 18 hours of talks,
which began around 9 a.m. Thurs-
day morning.
UWOSA president Deb
Novakowski said the union
achieved some, but not all, of its
goals at the bargaining table.
“I’m pleased with what we were
able to accomplish,” Novakowski
said. “It was a case of us getting
some of what we were looking for.
We didn’t get it all, but that’s negoti-
ations.”
The union still has to ratify the
deal before the process can be
completed. UWOSA members will
vote on the collective agreement by
secret ballot on Friday, Nov. 12 and
Monday, Nov. 15.
Similarly, Western’s Board of
Governors must also ratify the
agreement. They will hold their vote
on Tuesday, Nov. 16, assuming
UWOSA ratifies the agreement.

Disturbing the peace
Richmond Row not a peaceful

Kaleigh Rogers
NEWS EDITOR
Revellers who frequent Richmond
Row can rejoice — a recent court
case ruled London’s main bar strip
has no peace to be disturbed after
last call.
In June of 2008, Bradley Swinkels
was arrested for disturbing the
peace after he swore at police offi-
cers and flipped them the middle
finger with both hands.
After a trial and two appeals,
Swinkels was finally acquitted by
the Ontario Court of Appeal, who
said he could only have disturbed
the peace if the area was peaceful,
which it was not.
“The trial judge in our appeal
discussed the volatility of down-
town London for bars around clos-
ing time, pointing out that a large
percentage of the populace would
have been intoxicated,” the court
wrote.
The court also cited police tes-
timony, describing the scene as “a
warm summer’s night and the
streets were just packed.” It also

details of the deal will not be
released until both sides complete
ratification votes.
“We’re really pleased to have a
tentative agreement. I believe
everybody across campus is,”
Helen Connell, vice-president of
communications and public affairs
for Western, said.
“There was always the feeling that
a strike may be where we end up,”
Novakowski said. “It didn’t end up
there but it just as easily could have.”
The negotiations were similar to
those between the UWO Faculty
Association and administration,
which also ran late into the night
before a deal was reached around 3
a.m Wednesday morning. Both sets
of negotiations were aided by a
provincially-appointed mediator.
“We didn’t go in intending to
make it end at that point. Why that
happened that way, I really don’t
know,” Novakowski said of the sim-
ilar bargaining patterns.

noted that Barney’s, the area
where the incident took place, was
“always packed full of very intoxi-
cated people.”
The court ultimately acquitted
Swinkels because his actions were
not disruptive enough to warrant
calling them a disruption of the
peace.
“The Court of Appeal itself gives
the example that, on Richmond
Street, on the patio outside Bar-
ney’s, is not the same as in a library,
and there was already a crowd that
was pretty noisy,” Syd Usprich, law
professor at Western, said.
“Swinkels didn’t really cause a dis-
turbance, which is what he has to
do in order to be guilty of that par-
ticular offence.”
Usprich added this isn’t ground-
breaking as far as law enforcement,
but will mean a great deal to
Swinkels.
“He won’t have a criminal record
as a result of this, which is huge,
because that can interfere with all
kinds of things, like crossing the
border, or job applications. So,
that’s huge in itself.”

Pepsi challenge waged

Concordia students lodge protest over deal

CONTRIBUTOR

What began as a battle over bottled

water has escalated into a protest
against closed-door deals at Con-
cordia University, resulting in a stu-
dent threatening legal action
against administration.
The conflict followed the Uni-
versity’s decision to re-sign a multi-
year contract with PepsiCo after
allegedly turning its back on an
agreement to allow a student voice
at the negotiating table.
Laura Beach, a member of Cam-
pus Against Corporatization, met
with administration officials in May
to discuss implementing a campus-
wide ban on bottled water. She said
the meeting concluded with an
understanding that she would be
included in upcoming negotia-
tions.
“[We] made a verbal agreement
that no negotiations or decisions
would be made prior to a meeting
with Pepsi,” Beach alleged.

is not sure what to expect from the
threat of legal action. “She tells us
she is considering legal action.
Whether that happens or not, we
don’t know.”
Not commenting explicitly on
the verbal agreement, Mota main-
tained that the administration has
done no wrong.
“The university doesn’t have
anything that we feel that we
should be uncomfortable with,”
Mota said.
Concordia has invited students
to participate in a working group to
investigate bottled water sales on
campus, indicating that a bottled
water ban is still possible under the
new contract.
“We made some decisions that
perhaps aren’t popular with some
individuals. But they had to be

solar-powered tree
Standing at 23 feet tall, generating
eight kilowatts of power, with a total
cost of $160,000, Tourism London
has constructed a solar-powered
tree in the image of the city’s logo.
The tree is the largest solar-pow-
ered tree in the world, according to
Tourism London.
The public showpiece is part of a
bigger initiative, the Rethink Energy
London program, which aims to
create awareness about alternative
energy sources.
“The idea behind this tree was to
show that London is a forward
thinking city, [a city that] wants to
embrace new green initiatives,”
said Roger Caranci, Ward 1 council-
lor for London.
The tree will be able to produce
10,000 kilowatt hours of energy per
year to power the Tourism London
office. This meets half of the annu-
al electricity needs of the building
for the entire year, John Winston,
general manager at tourism Lon-
don, explained.
As for the price tag, Winston
believed the costs were justified
since the solar tree will be paying
for itself over the course of 20 years
with the electricity it will generate.
If the city sticks to its new envi-
ronmentally-friendly program, Lon-
doners can expect a lot more green
powered initiatives from the city.
“We as a country and world have
to look at alternative energy sources
to wean ourselves off of carbon-
based energy sources,” Winston
said. “That is, finite resources that
will ultimately come to an end.”

Sean Wilson, director of the

loss.
“My grandma lost her son, my
uncle. It changed her forever,” he
explained, noting the long history
of military service in his family. He
said the challenges for veterans and
families have increased over the
past few years.
“Veterans have been overlooked
in so many ways,” Irene Mathyssen,
NDP MP for London-Fanshawe,
explained.
Nov. 6 marked a national day of
protest for veterans. Fifty to 70 vet-
erans gathered in Victoria Park, led
by Wilson, to protest the decline in
benefits to veterans during the past
several years.
“I’m not a veteran myself, so it’s
one thing for me to get up and say
these things,” Wilson explained. He
noted it was rare for veterans to
protest the Canadian government
after fighting on behalf of it for so
long.
The national day of protest start-
ed after Wilson was approached by
another veterans’ group at another
rally.
Due to Wilson’s work with the
Remember November 11 Associa-
tion, he learned the City of London
was planning on cutting down the
number of beds available to veter-
ans at Parkwood Hospital. These
beds give a place for veterans to
receive counselling and help with
post-traumatic stress. Further dis-
cussions led to several other issues
coming to the table.
“I started out wanting to stop
the stuff going on at Parkwood, I
learned about many other issues,”
Wilson explained.
Attention
LEST WE FORGET. Veterans, politicians and activists gathered in Victoria Park on
Saturday to hold a protest against what they called declining services and
resources for veterans in London.
On the table is a 33 per cent cut
to veterans’ services and reductions
in service members’ pensions after
65. Veterans returning home from
Afghanistan can expect to see a
lump sum of $200,000 instead of a
long-term pension.
“It’s substantially less than what
they require,” Glen Pearson, Liber-
al MP for London North Centre,
explained. “The $200,000 isn’t going
to last them very long.”
Wilson noted if a soldier was
injured, much of that money could
go towards retrofitting a home,
instead of insuring a lifelong finan-
cial pool.
“People coming home from
Afghanistan don’t even know what

they are coming home to,” Wilson
noted.
Many of these issues were not
brought to the forefront until veter-
ans’ groups were able to connect
with each other. Wilson hoped
awareness would continue.
“I think that once the public
knows, there is a sense of outrage,”
Mathyssen explained. She noted
the younger veterans and groups
were more active in getting the
word out.
Wilson added he hoped people
would continue to advocate for this
issue.

ing to either inform members of a
tentative agreement or mobilize a
strike force.
Luckily for Western students, it
was the former.
“I think there’s a certain part of
human nature where sometimes
we do our best work when we’re
facing a deadline,” Connell said.
“When the two sides began making
progress, they continued to talk
until they reached an agreement.”
While a strike by UWOSA would
not have halted classes, many
administrative and technical
departments at Western would
have been affected. UWOSA repre-
sents over 1,100 university staff,
reaching across every department
at Western.
One of the biggest service dis-
ruptions for students would have
been at Student Services where sev-
eral UWOSA members do clerical
and administrative work.
Also, the London Transit Com-
mission and Aboutown had indi-
cated their buses would not be
crossing picket lines in the event of
a strike, meaning there would be no
bus service on campus.
Some of the more contentious
issues on the table Thursday were
job security, working conditions
and a pay increase in line with the
rising cost of living in Canada.
UWOSA had been without a con-
tract since June 2010.

Opinions
The red poppy symbol has been used in Canada since 1921, but a movement
promoting white poppies for peace has recently been gaining steam. So what
should we be pinning on our lapels this November?
It’s been over sixty years since the
end of the Second World War and a
century since the First. Those who
survived are decreasing in num-
bers. Who is left to remember?
In a recent Ipsos-Reid survey,
young Canadians scored the lowest
on questions about the First World
War –– an average of 59 per cent ––
compared to 72 per cent by older
Canadians. Scores for the Second
World War were nearly identical.
Clearly, the notion of remem-
brance is slowly dying. We may
know lots about the current mis-
sion in Afghanistan, but our collec-
tive memory of past wars is fading
away.
In light of that, why anyone
would attempt to subvert a symbol
of remembrance baffles me. And
yet that is exactly what white poppy
supporters are doing.
Those among this movement
claim to support peace instead of
war, arguing that the red poppy glo-
rifies conflict. Yet the red poppy,
which bloomed throughout the
cemeteries of Europe, truly sym-
bolizes the devastation caused by
war.
The white poppy is an insensi-
tive distraction from this historical
month of remembrance –– espe-
cially since each generation knows
less and less about the wars of the
past. As a society, we are forgetting.
And white–washing the poppy,
bleaching out its blood-red hue,
only serves to accelerate the
process.
Create a new symbol. Resurrect
the peace sign. But don’t hijack a
time–honoured emblem of remem-
brance from the brave men and
women buried in the fields from
which that symbol emerged.
“If ye break faith with us who
die/We shall not sleep, though pop-
pies grow/In Flanders fields,” reads
the last line of John McRae’s famous
poem. How dare we break that faith
by slandering the all that is repre-
sented by the red poppy.
Wearing a red poppy on your
lapel is hardly a glorification of vio-
lence and conflict. It’s a symbol to
remember lives lost –– a payment
in blood for a cause we may or may
not agree with, but a payment just
the same.

The Country Wife succeeds with sexual innuendo
English department pushes limits in new production
Nyssa Kuwahara GAZETTE
CHEER UP… THE PLAY’S GETTING POSITIVE REVIEWS. The English department’s production The Country Wife has a stel-
lar cast that carries the character-driven plot.
Apple creates anti-sexting technology
Technology will be used to help filter explicit content in messages
Rebecca Levin
CONTRIBUTOR
Technology giant Apple has recent-
ly been awarded a patent for their
new “anti-sexting” technology,
which will block people’s ability to
send and receive text messages that
contain explicit content.
The patent, officially titled “Text-
based communication control for
personal communication device,”
will allow administrators, or par-
ents, to set permission controls for
what content users can send.
“One way in which parental
control can be accomplished is to
limit the access points that a user
can have. For example, a parent
could prevent a child user from
accessing specific websites, or limit
the user to communicating elec-
tronically with a limited set of indi-
viduals or e-mail addresses,” the
patent summary explains.
It goes on to say that these solu-
tions don’t address the content the
user sends — a problem Apple is
trying to combat.
But some are questioning
whether this technology will actu-

GAZETTE STAFF
This past weekend Conron Hall
played host to the first two perfor-
mances of the English department’s
annual theatrical production.
This year the department took
on the formidable task of perform-
ing William Wycherley’s lengthy
and lewd work The Country Wife —
a play which pushes the bound-
aries when it comes to sexual innu-
endo onstage.
Directed by English professor Jo
Devereux, the performance fea-
tured a cast and crew from several
different faculties on campus.
The Country Wife, like many
plays written during the Restora-
tion period, is character-driven,
revolving around a single day in the
lives of a raucous group of English
aristocrats.
Casting was a critical aspect of
the play’s success, and the produc-
tion delivered on this front, featur-
ing a number of strong actors in
both the lead and supporting roles.
Theatre-goers will enjoy the
overbearing and thundering Sir
Pinchwife, played by Joel Szaefer, in
his attempt to separate his flighty
new wife Margery (Sheila Frise)
from the preyings of his adulterous
London acquaintances.
While the set was quite sparse,
this aspect of the production
became nearly unnoticeable as
soon as the actors took the stage.
“People, especially teenagers,
are creative, resourceful, and tend
to be rather preoccupied with sexu-
ality,” says Michael Daubs, lecturer
in the faculty of information and
media studies. “They will find ways
to circumvent any sort of banned
word list, and I’m sure Apple prob-
ably knows that, too.”
[People] will find
“
ways to circum-
vent any sort of
banned word list,
and I’m sure
Apple probably
knows that, too.
— Michael Daubs,
FIMS lecturer
Daubs continues, “In fact, it
seems to me as if Apple is capitaliz-
ing upon the latest technology-
based fear for other, less obvious
motives, and the real questions
should be about those other
motives.”
While the technology blocks
sexually-explicit messages, it does
not do the same for images.
•5
Sexual innuendo is one of the
most prominent aspects of Wycher-
ley’s play, and as expected, provided
many comical moments through-
out the performance. For example,
a moralizing clergyman finds him-
self repeatedly chased offstage by a
London wench who, suffice to say,
has something more scandalous
than sermons on her mind. The
preacher apparently gives into
desire in the end, featuring the
imprint of a pair of red lips on his
forehead in one of the final acts.
A classic scene from the play,
during which the licentious Master
Horner (Adam Langton) sneaks off-
stage with the conniving Lady Fid-
get (Anna Jane Edmonds) to fetch
something from his china cabinet,
features a hilarious use of sound
effects to inform the audience
about their activities. The play may
be rude, but the company handled
it in a well-choreographed and
entertaining manner.
One point of caution for those
planning to take in a performance
next weekend is the play’s length.
Although this production made
considerable cuts to the original
version, audience members will
still find themselves sitting through
a three-hour performance. On the
bright side, the English department
has made it well worth one’s time.
The English department will
show three more performances of
William Wycherley’s The Country
Wife on Nov. 11, 12 and 13 at Con-
ron Hall, University College. Tickets
are $10 and can be purchased at
InfoSource in the UCC.
John Reed, a professor in the
faculty of information and media
studies, is apprehensive about the
company as well as the device.
“Don’t forget, users can always
spend a few minutes learning how
to ‘hack’ or jailbreak Apple’s obses-
sive control,” Reed says. “I’m sure
folks will be able to do the same with
the anti-sexting technology. And
hacking is in the spirit of youth any-
way, so it will be doubly fun to sext.”
Despite some apprehension,
Reed notes Apple has an excellent
reputation for serving customer’s
needs for many years. This is per-
haps one reason why the new tech-
nology will be well-received by the
public.
“I find Apple’s level of control to
be bordering on the outrageous,
but I also admire their level of qual-
ity,” Reed states. “Their products
integrate seamlessly and easily, and
as a result they have an extraordi-
nary level of loyalty.”
The text filters that Apple intends
to install would identify and make
allowances for the user’s ages and
skill level. The filter would be used
to block nearly all explicit material
— not just sexually-explicit texts.

Megamind’s lovable characters and

Megamind
Director: Tom McGrath

The battle between good and evil

to be the bad guy anymore?
Meet Megamind (Will Ferrell),
the “incredibly handsome master

a city without Metro Man to stop
him. But as time goes on, Mega-
mind finds ruling a city isn’t nearly
as satisfying as he thought it would
be.
While Megamind and Metro
Man are the film’s principal charac-
ters, the supporting cast also proves
to add depth to the film.
The nosy but successful reporter
Roxanne Richi (Tina Fey) adores
Metro Man and is Megamind’s per-
sonal favourite. Her lovesick cam-
eraman, Hal Stewart (Jonah
Hill), follows her around but can
never fully express himself. Minion
(David Cross) is Megamind’s best
friend and devious partner who
helps him out of all kinds of binds
— more specifically, criminal sen-
tences.
Megamind’s spectacular voice
casting adds to the script’s good
humour, allowing the audience to
fully understand and love these
unique characters.
Along with comedic value and
the glamour of star-studded voices,
there is a deep message embedded
in the story that goes beyond the
classic good versus bad guy gim-
mick. Few films manipulate the
emotions an audience should feel
towards the bad guy, but Mega-
mind’s creators knew exactly how
to cater to the audience without
being too predictable.
A surprising twist leaves Mega-
mind and Roxanne forced to co-
operate with each other and is the
perfect event to illustrate the
importance of change and good
intentions.
DreamWorks has once again
made an excuse for adults to
attend children’s movies. The char-
acters are lovable, the twists are
entertaining, and the conclusion
isn’t disappointing or expected.
Standing in line with kids sur-
rounding you is definitely worth
the awkward wait.
Sarah Bareilles —
“King of Anything”
Being able to relate to a song is key
to connecting to the music.
Sara Bareilles’ “King of Any-
thing” is successful because it por-
trays the inner frustrations that
many people feel but few express.
Bareilles wrote “King of Any-
thing” in response to frustrations
towards unsolicited life advice. She
describes the song in an interview
as a “fuck you” song. The up-beat
pop sound, catchy tempo and great
lyrics make for an interesting three
and a half minutes.
The goal of Bareilles’ song is to
tell people that she can make up
her mind on her own so they
should mind their own business.
The lyrics perfectly display her frus-
trations and are relatable.
“King of Anything” was the first
single of Bareilles’ sophomore
album Kaleidoscope Heart, which
was released in June 2010.
Bareilles’ voice and empowering
lyrics make “King of Anything” a hit.

Knucklehead
Hearts on Fire
Stumble Records
Knucklehead, a punk band hailing
from Calgary, Alberta, recently
released their latest thirteen-track
album Hearts on Fire.
A follow-up to a trail of inde-
pendently released EPs and CDs
over the past 16 years, Hearts on
Fire lives up to the band’s punk
aesthetic and does the genre some
justice.
The songs follow a pretty
straightforward punk paradigm,
though some tracks threaten to
leave the listener disappointed with
the lack of originality in the band’s
songwriting.
The strong lyrics save these
mediocre chord progressions, and
combined with the skill that the
band uses to wield their instru-
ments, it makes the lack of melodic
originality redeemable.
This album offers a few standout
tracks, including “Cut to Pieces,”
“Please Louise,” and the title track
“Hearts on Fire.” The guitar-driven
melodies and chant-like hooks
make these immediate attention
grabbers.
If you are a fan of punk and
believe in the grittiness of a true
punk aesthetic, definitely give
Hearts on Fire a listen. They’ll
appease new and old audiences
alike with their unique style

— Mindy White from the band
Lydia and Bryan and Stephen Lau-
renson from Copeland are off to a
perfect start with their newly-
founded band States after recently
releasing their first EP Line ‘em Up.
After bands Copeland and Lydia
split up earlier this year, there was
word that White and the Lauren-
sons would be working together on
some promising new music, and
they have definitely delivered.
The EP consists of six songs, all
catchy in their own way. Although
classified as a “pop” album, Line ‘em
Up has its own indie-rock flavour,
throwing in a number of acoustics to
back up White’s prominent vocals.
Strong and creative lyrics are
found in every song, and States has
proven that they have something
new to bring to the table.
The album starts off dominant
with songs “Anxious” and “Falling
For,” likely the strongest of the
batch vocally and instrumentally.
From there, States slows down
the mood with songs “Another
Chapter” and “Asleep,” showcasing
both artistic lyrics and White’s
inspiring vocal talent.
If this is what we can expect
from States in their music to come,
they have full potential to do this
for the long run.

All the doubts can be put to rest —
the Mustangs are going to Yates.
“This was a year where not too
many people thought we’d be going
back to the Yates Cup,” Mustangs
football head coach Greg Marshall
said. “Everybody said, Michael
Faulds is gone, we’ll be done. Well
you know, we’re still here.”
It’ll be the Mustangs fourth
straight appearance at the Yates
Cup, and after their heartbreaking
defeat at the hands of the eventual
Vanier Cup champion the Queen’s
Gaels last year, the entire team is
itching for a chance at redemption.
“I’m back for a chance for my
third Yates Cup, […] but we got to
get better this week if we want to
win,” Mustangs linebacker John
Surla said.
It wasn’t an easy road. The Mus-
tangs had to get past the visiting
McMaster Marauders, who were
looking for revenge after an embar-
rassing defeat during week three.
For a while, it looked like they
might get it.
After scoring an early field goal,
Marauders quarterback Kyle Quin-
lan carried the ball into the end
zone to give his team a surprising
10–0 lead.
“They’re a tough team, but I did-
n’t expect them to come out as well
as they did,” Mustangs receiver
Andrew Thibaudeau said. “Luckily,
we were able to stay in the game.”
Luckier still for the Mustangs
was Thibaudeau’s presence. He
managed to return the post–Quin-
lan TD kickoff 104 yards for the
touchdown. And in a change from
a story seen most of the season, this
one counted.
“As soon as I got in I turned
around and looked for a flag. I just
looked for it and expected it to be
there — luckily it wasn’t,” he said.
Anders Kravis GAZETTE
“[McMaster] had the momen-
tum and then he returns that kick-
off,” Marshall said. “That was a
huge play for us that got us back in
the game.”
The back-and-forth battle con-
tinued with McMaster opening the
second with another touchdown.
But once again, go–to guy
Thibaudeau delivered, catching a
pass from Donnie Marshall to score
a 53–yard touchdown.
Marshall struggled, throwing
three interceptions and fumbling
the ball once. Coach Marshall
admitted that these are the types of
mistakes his quarterback can’t afford
to make next week against Ottawa.
“[Donnie] was trying to force it a
little bit, but [next week] it’s going
to come down to who makes the
fewer mistakes so we have to pro-
tect the ball,” he said.
For Donnie, the win not only
means he will lead his team at the
Yates this year, but is also his chance

The Mustangs football team did, in
fact, beat the McMaster Marauders,
despite their best efforts to do oth-
erwise.
I watched the game and I’m still
not sure how they scored more
points than McMaster for the victory.
The face of McMaster coach Ste-
fan Ptaszek said it all. He looked
confused when his team went
behind. I don’t think he understood
why they were losing either.
McMaster had 10 more first
downs, 10 more minutes of ball
possession and three fewer
turnovers.
Yet the final score was 34–28 for
Western.
“Maybe it wasn’t our best game,
but in the playoffs it only matters
what the score is at the end of the
game,” Mustangs head coach Greg
Marshall said.
It’s true, the score is all that mat-
ters — but that could have been the

for redemption after he failed to
help his team score on their final
drive last year against Queen’s.
“I feel like last year I could have
done more to help us win that
game, but I didn’t,” he said. “This
time is a chance for me to make
sure we get that win and bring the
Yates Cup back to London.”
The Mustangs duo of running
backs — Jerimy Hipperson and
Nathan Riva — combined for 182
yards and scored back-to-back
touchdowns in the second and third
quarter, putting their team up 31–17.
The Marauders made it interest-
ing in the end, when Jordan Kozina
broke through the Mustangs
defence to score a two-yard touch-
down and bring his team within
seven going into the final quarter.
“We have a very talented offen-
sive line and they pushed them
around a little bit up front which
was something we couldn’t do in
the first game,” McMaster head
worst game the Mustangs have
played all season.
Their defence, which held oppo-
nents to well under 100 yards rush-
ing a game during the regular sea-
son — they held Toronto to negative
seven yards in their previous game
— gave up 273 yards on the ground.
The Marauders cut through
them like a hot knife through but-
ter, ending with a total of 515 yards
and 28 points — the most Western
has given up in one game.
The offence, on the other hand,
was able to move the ball relatively
well, gaining 447 yards. But they
turned it over seven times.
I can’t even count the number of
times coaches and analysts have
said, “You can’t win when you turn
it over that many times.”
Donnie Marshall was a micro-
cosm of the Mustangs as a whole. He
completed two-thirds of his passes
for 217 yards and ran for another 32
yards. But he also threw three brutal
interceptions and fumbled the ball,
all at key points in the game.

Jesse Tahirali GAZETTE
coach Stefen Ptaszek said.
With the end of their season
looming, McMaster made a late
push to tie the game. However, the
Mustangs defence took over and
shut down the Marauders, guaran-
teeing themselves both a long bus
ride and a chance at the Yates Cup.
Despite their season–ending loss,
Ptaszek is proud of his team’s efforts.
“I believe they are a champi-
onship-calibre team and we played
another championship-calibre
team,” he said.
But now the celebration is over
and the Mustangs will have a busy
week ahead of them preparing for
what is expected to be a tough
game against quarterback Brad
Sinopoli and the Ottawa Gee–Gees.
“[Sinopoli] is capable of doing
many different things, with his
arms and with his legs. I think he
has great receivers all around him
and I think the offensive line is pret-
ty solid,” Surla said.
It was almost as if both teams on
the field were trying to knock West-
ern out of the playoffs.
They only outplayed McMaster
on special teams. They out–punted
the Marauders — who used star
receiver Michael DiCroce as their
punter no less — and they out–
returned them. If not for rookie
Andrew Thibaudeau’s 104–yard
kickoff return touchdown to cut
into McMaster’s 10–point lead, the
game could have been out of reach
very early.
Yet, despite all the mistakes from
the men in purple, they still man-
aged to win.
That has to be a testament to the
players. If nothing else, they played
with determination, and that
seemed to be just enough.
But if they want to beat the Gee-
Gees this weekend in Ottawa, they
had better put this game behind
them and get back to their regular
season form. Brad Sinopoli and
company will pick the Mustangs
apart if they play like that again.

Warriors no match
for the Mustangs
Baker earns goal, two assists
in 5-3 win over Waterloo
Andrew Piccininni
GAZETTE STAFF
On Saturday night at Thompson
arena, the 7–0–1 Mustangs men’s
hockey team looked to continue
their torrid pace. After going away
to trample the York Lions 5–0, the
Mustangs returned home to con-
tinue their ongoing battle with the
Waterloo Warriors.
After beating the Warriors 8–1
last weekend, the Mustangs expect-
ed the Warrior team to be out for
revenge.
“Waterloo’s got a lot of pride. We
knew they were going to come out
hard, fast and physical,” Western
head coach Clarke Singer said.
But Western was able to strike
first. In what is becoming an early-
season tradition, the Mustangs got
a quick jump on the Warriors in the
first period with goals coming from
Jason Swit, Steve Reese and Kevin
Baker.
The speedy Baker was in on all
three goals, assisting on the first
two. He potted one of his own on a
breakaway with a quick wrist shot
up and over the blocker of Waterloo
goaltender Justin Leclerc.
Singer was pleased with how his
team came out of the gate, noting
how the team’s early pressure
deflated the Warriors.
“Fortunately we got the first
couple of goals. I think that took a
little bit of the wind out of their sails
early on,” he said.
The Mustangs used a stingy
neutral zone trap to create turnover
after turnover. These resulted in
several quick scoring chances,
which kept Leclerc busy.
Five minutes into the period,
rookie Adam Mckee extended West-
ern’s lead to four when he and
Randy Hanagan collaborated on
some smooth passing down low to
expose the Waterloo defence.
Shortly after, Waterloo finally
made a dent in the armour of
