In keeping with our reckless, devil-may-care image, our of-fice has absolutely no concrete information on the Carillonsformative years readily available. What follows is the storythats been passed down from editor to editor for over fortyyears.

In the late 1950s, the University of Regina planned the con-struction of several new buildings on the campus grounds.One of these proposed buildings was a bell tower on the aca-demic green. If you look out on the academic green today,the first thing youll notice is that it has absolutely nothingresembling a bell tower.

The University never got a bell tower, but what it did getwas the Carillon, a newspaper that serves as a symbolic belltower on campus, a loud and clear voice belonging to eachand every student.

SIAST faces possible strikeAdministration says problems with SGEU wont affect students

With the threat of a strike or lockoutcast over Saskatchewan Institute ofApplied Science and Technology(SIAST) campuses acrossSaskatchewan, the future remains un-certain for 14,000 students, and an-other 2,000 staff members.

After working without a new con-tract for 16 months, the SaskatchwanGovernment and General EmployeesUnion (SGEU) issued a strike noticeto SIAST administration on Nov. 10,following a failed mediation attempt.

Shortly thereafter, SIAST administra-tion responded to the SGEU by puttingthe union on 48-hour lockout notice.

The last contract, which wassigned in 2007 and mediated by anout-of-province arbitrator, covered1,300 instructors and 700 professionalservices staff at SIASTs four campusesin Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Regina,and Saskatoon.

The two parties, which SIAST as-sociate vice-president of human re-sources Gary Earles admitted are farapart on compensation, are pre-dictably at odds over wages and ben-efits.

Earles said SIAST is offering an in-crease of four per cent in wages and

benefits, while the union wants be-tween a reported 15 to 17 per cent in-crease. However, SGEU attests thattheir contractual demands are moremodest than Earles claimed.

We tabled a final offer in our lastround of bargaining, said TracyKurtenback, chair of SGEUs SIASTprofessional services negotiating com-

mittee. It was a total compensationpackage that was sitting around 12.65per cent.

Although compensation is themain issue, there stands another road-

block between the two parties reach-ing an agreement. First, the SGEU andSIAST must agree on an objective me-diator.

In an attempt to restart fledgling

collective agreement negotiations and in response to an SGEU media-tion request contained in the unionsstrike notice SIAST agreed to havethe Ministry of Labour and WorkplaceSafety coordinate mediation betweenthe two parties.

The SGEU, in turn, rejected thegovernment-appointed mediator, stat-ing they believe it would be unfair fora mediator selected by Brad WallsSaskatchewan Party government toconduct the mediation process. SGEUpresident Rob Bymoen noted this gov-ernment, [has] virtually strippedpublic sector workers of their right tostrike, and even made it more difficult

for workers to join unions.We have no reason to believe that

an individual appointed by this gov-ernment will act in an impartial man-ner, said Jim Steele, chair of the SGEU

bargaining committee. The govern-ment is an interested party in these ne-gotiations, since it both funds andoversees the provinces post-second-ary institutions. Government is af-

fected by the outcome of bargaining. Ithas no right to impose a hand-pickedmediator in this case.

Although it is looking less likelythat both parties will be able to cometo any sort of agreement in the near fu-ture, both sides have ensured the pub-lic that they have no intentions ofdisrupting any of the 14,000 studentsactivities.

SIAST has assured students thatstrike shifts will rotate to ensureclasses will not be permanentlystopped during any job action.

Earles has also said SIAST is con-cerned about the uncertainty of stu-dents, and has proposed both parties

hold off on any job action while plansregarding the mediation process areworked out. He further stated the onlyway SIAST employees would belocked out would be in response to jobaction that it felt was having a, signif-icant detrimental impact on program-ming and students.

Regardless of both sides inten-tions, the impending job action is

weighing heavily on many of SIASTsstudents. As one student, who re-quested anonymity, said, Its hard tofocus on my school work and stay ontrack, heading into graduation withwhats going on with the union andSIAST. Whatever happens with themis going to have a pretty profound im-pact on a lot of people; students, staff,administration everyone.

[Staff lockout

will only happen ifthere is] significantdetrimental impacton programmingand students.

Its not overAfter being devastated by an earthquake

last year, Haiti is facing a new threat

dyinginhaiti.blogspot.com

Less than one year after the massiveearthquake that left over 200,000 deadand over 1,000,000 homeless, Haiti re-mains a nation in peril.

Widespread cholera outbreaks inseven of Haitis 10 administrative re-gions have already accounted for over1,100 deaths and have many expertspredicting a prolonged struggle withthe debilitating disease. Now it ap-pears life is going to get much worse

before it gets better in the smallCaribbean country.

Cholera, an intestinal infection thatis brought on from drinking contami-nated water or eating contaminatedfood, is a threat to any region where

hygiene and access to clean water is aproblem, appearing almost exclusivelyin developing nations. Although onlya small number of people will becomeseriously ill from cholera, if left un-treated victims could die within a fewhours.

Menoj Menon, the U.S. Center forDisease Controls liaison to the UnitedStates Agency for InternationalDevelopment on the cholera outbreak,said that Haiti was especially vulnera-

ble to a cholera outbreak because ofthe incredible damage done by

Januarys earthquake. Also, due to thefact that the country went withoutcholera for decades, the populationlacked any natural immunity.

Unfortunately for Haiti and itsnearly 10 million inhabitants, these

problems are intensified by the home-lessness still rampant in Haiti follow-ing Januarys earthquake. That meansmany dont have access to clean water,so even if a patient fully recovers al-though a United Nations official said

many patients never make it to a hos-

pital or care centre they neverthelessreturn to the same dangerous environ-ment from which they got sick in thefirst place.

What is making the cholera issueeven more dangerous is that many dis-gruntled Haitians believe the UN wasresponsible for bringing the disease toHaiti in the first place.

After rumours suggesting the UNwas responsible for bringing cholerato Haiti began to circulate, protesterstook to the streets to violently voicetheir displeasure.

Riots, which started on Monday,Nov. 14, saw angry protestors in Cap-Haitien burn and loot 500 tonnes offood from a World Food Programmewarehouse, forcing the UN to groundflights carrying soap, medical supplies,

and staff to cities in the northern regionof Haiti. Ironically, this is where thecholera fatality rate is highest fur-ther impeding the relatively simple re-hydration process that is used to curethe disease.

The rioters, who claim Nepalesepeacekeeping troops brought cholerainto the country, burned barricades,threw stones, and shot at UN peace-keeping troops in the Haitian capital ofPort-au-Prince on Monday, Nov. 14.If this violence persists, it will onlymake it more difficult for hospitals andimpromptu care facilities to treat the illand that will only prolong Haitis mis-erable bout with cholera.

At this point, the UN has calledfor nearly $164 million USD to assistwith the cholera outbreak, while the

European Commission declaredEuropean nations should send med-ical supplies, in conjunction withmoney, to help curb the growingcholera problem.

Although the proposed aid seems

like a lot of money, many fear that if

the way Januarys earthquake aid washandled only $700 million USD ofthe U.S.A.s promised $1.5 billion USDhas been given to Haiti is any indica-tion of how Haitis cholera problemwill be dealt with, it may be a bumpyroad for the small nation to travel inthe future.

The money sent from abroad goeson the wrong things. The aid agenciesdont know about building houses orcleaning up a slum like Cite Soleil,said Michael Brewer, an Americannurse who has worked in Haiti forover a decade, to the UnitedKingdoms Daily Mail. Yet they have

become the custodians of the funds ar-riving here because the Haiti govern-ment cannot be trusted with it.

Regardless of political red-tape

and previous aid controversy, expertsare expecting the worst.We expect that soon it will be

across the whole country, said Dr.Scott Dowell, the Atlanta, Georgia-

based head of the CDCs Haiti re-sponse, It has been distressing howfast it has spread.

When pressurebuilds up

How to cope with stress

dinmoneydeviantar.com

When the pressure of university rises, there are ways to keep

it from affecting your life.

Without stress, some people wouldnever be able to get anything done.Its that extra burst of adrenaline thatgets them to finish their research pa-per, do well in sports or meet anychallenge head-on to the best of theirability.

But what if there is so much pres-sure and demand placed upon youthat your entire system goes awry?

Last semester, fine arts studentStacy Sandford had an experiencewith stress to reckon with. She wastaking five classes and waitressing ata downtown restaurant.

I woke up one morning, lookedat my schedule, and was shocked tosee that I had three major researchpapers due that week and the nextwas all examination week. I couldnt

believe I had procrastinated thatmuch, the third year student re-called.

Halfway through the week,Sandford started getting excruciatingheadaches that wouldnt quit no mat-ter how much Advil she took. After afainting attack, she found herself in-side Allied Health Centre at the uni-versity.

I dont know how I got there. Ihad been studying for 6 hoursstraight in the library and hadnt hadanything to eat since breakfast. So,like, one minute I was walking to the

washroom and then I woke up in theemergency room! Thats the last timeI take 5 classes!

Dr. David Torr, ConsultingMedical Health Officer for Cypressand Heartland Health Regions, saysthat, for most people, stress is whathappens when they find themselvesembroiled in lifes unpleasant cir-cumstances. Torr further explainsthat stress is difficult even for scien-tists to define because it is a highlysubjective phenomenon that differsfor each one of us.

One has to keep in mind thatthe crude reaction to stress is the re-lease of stress hormones in the body,which affects many organs includingthe brain, the muscles, and the heart.The intestinal system can also be af-fected, and chronic stress is postu-

lated to be a factor in the recurrenceof attacks in such conditions as ulcer-ative colitis. Effects of the blood ves-sels can manifest as increased bloodpressure, visual disturbances,

buzzing in the ears and recurrentheadaches.

Torr advises against consump-tion of substances like alcohol, to-

bacco, and medications liketranquilizers to cope with stress.These may give a temporary feel-ing of stress relief, but they are notthe healthiest choices and may havedetrimental health effects, Torr alsoadded that binging on food is alsoan unhealthy coping device.

He says one of the healthiestways to cope with stress is exercise.

A lot of stress is based in the mindand physical exercise takes the mindaway from worrying. Exercise also

burns up the stress hormones. At thesame time muscle tension which is acommon symptom of stress is re-lieved during exercise.

Chatting with friends is an-other avenue that benefits some.Whilst quiet meditation like listen-ing to music and practicing yogahelps other cope with stress, he con-tinued.

In order to prevent futureepisodes of stress, Torr suggests a

balanced lifestyle with very little pro-crastination. A work schedule bal-anced with enough sleep, food, andexercise is a good strategy for stressprevention.

Torr also advises students to at-tend workshops organized by theuniversity, which are designed tohelp students learn how to planahead for the busiest times of the se-mester. Also, he suggests using thecounseling services at the university which can be instrumental in equip-ping students with healthy solutionsto cope with stress as a result of pres-sure from demanding school sched-ules, as well as other challengingsocial situations like peer pressure.

So, whether its an assignmentthat creeped up on you, money woes,or trouble in your personal life, stressfinds its way into the university stu-dents life. Plan ahead and makeuse of the avenues available and,eventually, itll be graduation day inno time.

URSU website nears fulloperationStudents union still working hard to improve web presence

The University of Regina StudentsUnion website will soon be fully-functional, according to URSUpresident Kyle Addison.

Since the website waslaunched, its been plagued withtechnical errors. This resulted insome of the websites features likethe executive blog and events cal-endar being unusable.

Technical hiccups were re-sponsible for the non-functioning

features of the website, Addisonexplained. All that has now beenfixed, and the website is set to faceinto full operation.

The move to create a better

website was born from URSUs de-sire for more interactive communi-cation with students. The oldwebsite left Addison wanting more.

The previous website hadnothing in it; it was not interactiveor reliable, [nor] was it good-look-ing. So we decided to make a betterone.

Things didnt quite work outas planned, however, due to delayswith the contractor.

We chose the cheapest con-tractor, which was OH! Media,since they offered similar services ata reduced price. Their bargain was$16,000 cheaper than the cheapest

of the other contractors. It wasntlong after the website launched thatURSU discovered they could notpost comments on the executive

blogs.Now that these problems with

the website have been corrected,the students union wants to usethe executive blog to make their op-erations more transparent to oth-ers.

The blog will be updatedweekly by the executives, to in-crease transparency. And so that thestudents can know us better andget to ask us questions.

There will also be an updatedevent calendar where the studentsunion meetings will be posted,along with any other student-ori-ented event.

Addison is encouraging stu-dents to use this feature to their ad-

vantage. We can only post theevents we get to hear of. The eventcalendar is the reason we are callingon anyone that has an event comingup to get in touch with us.

I see the relevance of the new

blog in improving transparency be-cause many people may not becomfortable with sending us anemail or approaching us in the hall-way which they should becausewe are open to everyone. Throughthis blog, students can ask theirquestions. And the fact they couldask questions based on the execu-tive posts makes it more interest-ing.

While Addison regrets that thewebsite was not up and running ontime, he thinks he still would havestuck with the original contract even if he had prior knowledge ofthe hiccups because of the

amount it ended up saving in com-parison. I [still] wouldnt havegone with the more expensive$16,000 contract because it is awhole lot of money.

URSUboard

meeting:Nov. 17Courtesy of a half-hour question and

answer session, the bulk of November17ths University of Regina StudentsUnion board meeting was taken up by apresentation by Centre for ContinuingEducation director Dr. Harvey King.

King oversees the committee responsi-ble for the U of Rs administrative and or-ganizational review, an aspect of theuniversitys strategic plan. After an intro-duction from URSU president KyleAddison, who explained that he had in-vited King to the meeting, King asked the

board members to outline student concerns

about the administration and bureaucracyof the U of R.He got what he asked for. Virtually

every director on the board, as well as allpresent members of the executive (vice-president of operations and finance MattSteen being absent), voiced some kind ofconcern ostensibly brought forward bytheir constituents.

Chief among the issues was the qualityand cost of food available from Aramarksproperties, as well as the lack of productsappropriate for individuals with dietaryconcerns.

Other issues that came up included theuniversitys parking policies, the lack ofsufficient childcare programs, the schoolsantiquated webmail system, the teachingcapabilities of sessional professors, and thelack of cultural services and policies. The

board did, however, voice approval for theease of course registration.

Campion College Director AndreaNelson told King that she felt there was noaccessible feedback process for students,making it hard for the average student toreport their opinions directly to the admin-istration.

Following Kings presentation, theboard moved onto the approval of fundingfor the U of R chapter of the Society ofAutomotive Engineers (S.A.E.). The mo-tion as written in the agenda set the fund-ing request at $2000, but several directorsvoiced that they had no recollection of vot-ing to increase the funding from the $1500that URSU had initially been approachedfor. (Section nine in URSUs Nov. 3 min-utes, available online, only indicates the$2000 amount.) The board made a friendlyamendment to return the funds back to

$1500 and voted to approve.The last item of new business dealt

with dates for the URSU annual generalmeeting. Addison proposed Dec. 2 as po-tential a date for the AGM, but board mem-

bers felt that URSU would do better settingthe date somewhere in the latter half of

January. Since the Saskatchewan Non-Profit Corporations Act states that the datefor an annual general meeting must be of-ficially determined between 15 and 50 daysprior to the meeting, the board agreed totable that motion until the next meeting.

During the individual executive anddirector reports, education director AaronWarner told the board that the EducationStudents Society (ESS) had held internaldiscussions following complaints about theemail they had sent out via their listserv en-couraging students to vote against contin-

ued membership in the CanadianFederation of Students, and that the ESSfelt that the email had been inappropriate.

The next board meeting will be on Dec.1 at 5:30. Since this date falls after theCarillon produces its last issue of 2010, besure to watch the website for a report onthat meeting.

The waiting gameNo clear timeline for release of Octobers

referendum results

If youre impatient about the re-sults of late Octobers referendumon the University of ReginaStudents Unions continuedmembership in the CanadianFederation of Students, youre notthe only one.

Visitors to the Carillon officewill typically ask someone iftheyve heard any results yet, andat least one staffer has had the ex-perience of being approached by afaculty member who was curiousabout the votes outcome.

But, like everyone else, thestaff of the Carillon doesnt knowwhat the results are. And, also likeeveryone else, we have no ideawhen theyre coming in.

The latter half of October sawcampaigners both in favour ofand opposed to continued mem-

bership in the CFS descend oncampus in a flurry of activity.Tables sprung up around the uni-versity, campaigners in t-shirtscould be found in every hallway,and the Carillon itself held a pub-lic forum on the issue, with repre-sentatives from both sides of thecampaign answering studentquestions for over an hour. Theforum took place on Tuesday, Oct.26, the first day of voting.

Voting ended two days later,on Oct. 28. The next day, theReferendum OversightCommittee updated its website,referendumoversightcommittee.ca, with a letter cryptically explain-

ing that there was a delay relatedto the verification of enrolmentstatus of some voters. Resultswould be pending the verificationof said voters el igibility.

We are hopeful that resultswill be available shortly, the let-ter concluded.

Since then, theres been si-lence.

Speculation from several cor-ners the Carillon included wasthat the ballots in question be-longed to voters from the FirstNations University of Canada(FNUniv). Sources revealed to theCarillon that, in fact, several stu-dents who were not FNUniv stu-

dents nevertheless faced issuespertaining to their eligibility;April, a commenter on theCarillons website, wrote that in-terns were told that they may not

be eligible to vote.URSU-appointed ROC mem-

ber Mike Burton is familiar withthe confusion. He says hes beenfielding questions about the refer-endum ever since it ended.

Ive heard a lot out there ...that says that the ROC shouldhave [determined who was eligi-

ble] in advance of the election,Burton said. I was under the im-pression we had.

According to Burton, thereare five categories of voters whoseeligibility is in question: students

on education work terms, stu-dents on co-op work terms, FirstNations University students, eli-gible voters who couldnt be ver-ified at the polling station, andineligible voters.

Burton remains confident thatthe ROC can come to a consensuson four of those categories. Butthe question of FNUniv studenteligibility seems thornier.

There are two positions on theissue, Burton explained. The firstis that FNUniv students, as fee-paying URSU members, are con-sidered members in goodstanding in URSUs constitutionand are therefore eligible to vote.But Burton also says that FNUnivstudents during his tenure onURSU paid fees to a separate CFSchapter, Local 90, than the U of Rchapter, Local 9.

Burton said that he had out-

lined the latter position his posi-tion in an email to the ROC onOct. 6, and that the discussionwas then dropped until Oct. 27,the last day of voting, when thecommittee was approached withthe claim that FNUniv studentsshould be permitted to vote.

I get the impression that theROC took my opinion as valid atthe point of Oct. 6 ... I dont knowwhy it didnt become an issue tillthe 27th. It surprises me that itdidnt, as well.

CFS representative and ROCmember Lucy Watson explainedin an email that the ROC had beenaware of the issues of eligibilityprior to the referendum, and thatany final decisions about which

votes counted could only be de-cided once the ROC determinedwhat the U of Rs criteria had

been for determining the list of el-igible voters.

It was originally our under-standing that the informationwould be provided to us [by theRegistrars office] over two weeksago; however, we have not yet re-ceived it, Watson wrote.Understanding the criteria usedwill help resolve some of the out-standing issues.

As of press time, theRegistrars office could not becontacted for a response.

While the ROC waits for in-formation from the Registrars of-fice, the ballots rest with U of RSecurity. Until all questions of el-igibility are determined they will

remain uncounted another pointof contention between the mem-

bers of the ROC.My position has been that

we should count those ballots, toknow if theres a material differ-ence that could be made, Burtonsaid. We cant come to a consen-sus on that and therefore cantcount any ballots yet.

Watson explained that theCFS representatives felt thatwould cause some students to feellike their votes hadnt counted.She wrote that [CFS] has a re-sponsibility to ensure that no eli-gible voter is denied the right tovote on the question of continued

membership and as the ap-pointees to the Committee, we aredoing our best to ensure that thatis the case.

But while the ROC might beat something of an impasse,Burton was quick to stress thatthe delay in answering thesequestions has been solely the re-sponsibility of the ROC, ratherthan the organizations who ap-pointed its members.

People can critique URSUfor how they took a stance on thereferendum, but it should be veryclear that any holdup in the re-sults is the fault of the ROC, not ofURSU or the CFS, for that mat-ter, explained Burton. Its thefault of the four members of the

ROC, myself included.Whatever disagreements andcompromise theyll be facing oncethe ROC meets again, Burton andWatson agree on one thing theywant to work to answer questionsof eligibility so that the ballots canget counted and, a month aftervoting ended, the students of theU of R can finally know whetherthey will still be members of CFSas of May, 2010.

We are anxious to resolve theoutstanding issues so we can fi-nalize the count and make publicthe results, Watson wrote. It isour hope that the RegistrarsOffice will provide us with clarifi-cation on some of the outstandingquestions within the week.

On-campus

housing growingin PrairiesTwo new residences, oneexpansion will increase on-campus beds

The universities of Manitoba andSaskatchewan are building new res-idences, and the University ofWinnipeg is considering adding onto a residence building thats only afew years old. U of S vice-presidentfinances and resources RichardFlorizone attributes this trend to bothneed and favourable financial condi-tions.

The U of M and U of S are fund-ing their projects partially throughprivate funding, which will alloweach school to take advantage of thelower interest rates that have re-sulted from the financial crisis of the

past few years. The U of W projecthas not been approved yet, but if ap-proved would likely be financed partially through a loan.When you look at this project,theres clearly demand for housing,Florizone said. The other thing isthat the recent economic instabilityhas created low interest rates, so thefinancing we can obtain for a mort-gage is much lower than it would beotherwise.

Saskatoon and Winnipeg, thecities where these three universitiesare located, have some of the lowestvacancy rates in Canada.

Winnipegs rental vacancy rateis one per cent, while Saskatoons isslightly better at 2.1 per cent.

The U of S also has a below-aver-

age residence capacity for students.Until the new residence is opened,

only six per cent of U of S studentswill be able to live in residences oncampus. The universities of Albertaand British Columbia, Florizone said,are both capable of housing over 10per cent of their student body.

The U of W is in a similar situa-tion, according to senior executiveofficer Dan Hurley.

We did a new residence projectthree years ago, Hurley said, and itwas the first housing we had built onour campus for a very long time.There was a total 175 or 176 units.

Hurley was careful to explainthat the university has not yet de-cided to go ahead with the new

building, saying, Theres a lot ofwork to be done for securing fund-ing and doing feasibility studies.

However, the university has

found a successful model in the onethey used for the newest U of W res-idence: Acombination of traditionaldorm-style rooms with a smallernumber of apartment-style units al-lows the university to accommodatethe needs of both students and com-munity members.

The U of M is building a newresidence that should be open in 2011

because an older residence buildingis dilapidated and needs to be re-placed, according to communica-tions manager Leah Janzen.

Once the new residence is com-plete, the old one will be retrofittedto create space for the music pro-gram.At the U of S, construction has al-ready begun on the first phase of the

new residence. The first portion wasfunded through a $15-million grant

from the Saskatchewan governmentand another one from the City ofSaskatoon, which promised the uni-versity $5,000 per residence unit.

We were on budget and ontime, and we were just very happywith the cost, quality and schedule,said Florizone of the beginningstages of the project. Then our [con-struction] partner Meridian came tous and told us, If you proceed withphase two, you could save up to $3million because of the cost of takingthe crane down, and of stoppingwork and then starting again.

When the U of S approached theprovincial government for fundingfor the next portion of the residence,which will add a further 400 beds,they were rejected. They are still intalks with the city about a further

$5,000 per unit, which Florizone saidcould amount to around $600,000.

The rest of the money will comefrom two sources: An increasedparking fee for faculty and staff oncampus, which was increased from$18 per month to $55, and a mort-gage.The mortgage will take advantage ofthe low interest rates Florizone wasexcited about.

Okay, Florizone said about theneed for residences, the marketneeds student housing. But whyshould the university do i t? Well, to

be competitive with other universi-ties. Its very important for recruit-ment.

The other significant piece is re-tention data show a strong correla-

tion between living in on-campushousing and university success.

New Globe play a labour of love

If you do get a chance to see Honk! atthe Globe Theatre in the upcomingweeks before Christmas, one of theunique things youll notice about theproduction is the aesthetic of theprops and costumes. The play is de-signed to look like it is made out of pa-per the story literally coming fromthe pages of a storybook. Instead ofhiring a typical designer to draft theseideas, the Globe hired the Old TroutPuppet Workshop as costume and setdesigners for the play. The Old Troutsare gang of Calgary artists.

Weve been kicking around forabout ten years, and we make puppetshows for adults, sculptures, books,

and music, explains Judd Palmer,one of the Trouts men. It was kind of

a rare thing, normally theyd hire adesigner for the set, props, and cos-tumes, but instead they hired us ...this was the first time that weve everdesigned a show of somebody elses ...pretty much everything you see onstage was drawn by us.

The ideas that the Globe had inmind for Honk! proved to be a chal-lenge, even for the experienced andtalented Old Trout Puppet Workshop.The whole theatre in-the-round thingis pretty crazy because the audience isgoing to look at everything on stagefrom all different angles. In a moreconventional theatre, youve got a

backstage place where you can hide,so the whole concept was havingeverything visible all the time. Theidea of having the performers play-

ing instruments also played a role ...that was what kind of fired up theridiculous idea of people playing [theparts of] furniture and suns andmoons. Its all a challenge every time

because were making it up as we goalong thats kind of the fun of it.

As the days on the calendar drewcloser to opening night, the challengesof creating all of the props with suchmeticulous detail made finishing ontime come into question. It was a re-ally labour-intensive production.Everything was handmade; that waspart of the aesthetic of the [play], thateverything looked like it was craftedout of paper mache. They couldnt goget a table and put it on stage and callit done. It was a lot of stuff, a lot ofridiculous stuff. It was a huge process,

a huge build.

The Old Trouts are used to takinga long time to finish productions like

this. We make puppet shows, so wehave to make the actors as well as thecostumes and other stuff. We takeyears to build our damn things. It waspretty miraculous that [Honk!] cametogether in a few weeks.

The actors are these magnificentexamples of a performance breed be-cause they can all sing and play in-struments and dance and act all at thesame time. The design needed to helpthem with that; the costumes couldntget in the way of their being able to dofancy spins and prances. What theyredoing on stage is an incredibly diffi-cult thing ... we had to be kind tothem.

Despite all of the challenges,Palmer is totally pleased with theway that things turned out. Its al-

ways a weird and wondrous journeyfrom start to end. You start out with anidea that you think is going to work,and then a million things happen be-tween there and opening night.

Palmer and the rest of the OldTrout Puppet Workshop should be to-tally pleased with the way that thingsturned out because all of the costumesand props look spectacular. One re-ally does get the feeling of beingpulled into a storybook during theperformance ofHonk! A Musical Tale ofthe Ugly Duckling. The show runs un-til Dec. 26, so audiences eager to seewhat the Old Trout Puppet Workshopand the Globe Theatre have in storefor them will have plenty of chancesto see this classic storybook tale cometo life.

Honk!is no ugly

duckling

Honk! A Musical Tale of the UglyDuckling is exactly what the title says.The play follows the main charactersof Ugly, Uglys parents Ida and Drake,a malicious cat, and incorporatesmany other pond and farm animalsinto the story.

One of the strong points ofHonk!is the music. The performance utilizesa live band that includes a bass guitar,piano, cello, trombone, saxophone,melodica, tuba, baritone, and oboewith some of the actors playing in-struments from time to time through-out the play. All of the parts wereplayed without a stutter or stall, and

each of the songs were sung in tunewith shimmering vibrato. Gorgeousmulti-part harmonies are often em-ployed in the music.

The set ofHonk! is very minimal-istic. The only piece that remained on-stage for the entire performance was alarge storybook in a corner of the stagethat characters entered and exitedfrom. Actors often carried props suchas a window frame or couch cushioninstead of building an elaborate stageset which gives the stage a very openand bare feeling. This requires the au-dience to use their imagination atparts, but the crew ofHonk! did a su-perb job of making it evident whencharacters were swimming underwa-ter or sitting in a farm house. Abene-fit to having an actor play the part of

a door or couch was that the set canmove and become involved in thechoreography and change to the beatof the music. This was probably themost unique, intriguing, and enjoy-able part of the play.

The costumes were created withmeticulous detail. Almost everythingwas covered in tissue paper to add tothe concept of characters comingstraight from the pages of a storybook,and moreover, most of the characterswore outfits with text from the storyprinted on them to take this idea onestep further.

The only off-putting thing aboutHonk! was that it is designed for ayounger audience. The whole produc-tion had a very youthful and jocundfeeling to it; characters literally come

out of a giant storybook on stage andwaddle around like waterfowl. At cer-tain points thoughout Honk! , I feltquite childish for watching it, but itshould be noted that the play is aimedat a younger demographic. This isntto say that the play wasnt enjoyablefor those outside of the target audi-ence; Honk! may be written for chil-dren, but there many scenes in theplay are quite humorous and writtenfor those accompanying the minors inthe audience.

The staff of the Globe Theatre hasdone another great job with their sec-ond main stage production of the year,and can be very proud of the hardwork that they put into Honk! AMusical Tale of the Ugly Duckling. Theplay opens on Thursday, Nov. 26, and

runs until Dec. 26.

Dont kid yourself: you love to beright and prove your friends wrong,even when its over trivial things. Itfeels great to win an argument. Thefolks down at The Fainting Goat arequite aware of this. Over the pastwhile, the restaurant has been hav-ing debate nights where two indi-

viduals argue the sides of a particu-lar point. The host of the event, LeeBoyes, enjoys putting together thedebates. Its fun. We try to get peo-ple who are passionate and that canpresent an argument. Watchingsomeone genuinely attack a subjectcan be incredibly interesting, espe-cially if someones really into whattheyre talking about.

The debate nights started whenJustin Ludwig, who was one of theowners and former general man-ager of the restaurant, was listen-ing to CBC radio one day. Theyvegot their own Debaters show, and[he] thought that would make a re-ally good fun evening of entertain-ment at the Goat. The main idea

behind the debate night is to taketwo friends and try to recreate anargument for the sake of arguing.Someones generally playing thedevils advocate the type of ridicu-lous fights you get in with friendsover a pint of beer.

Unlike an argument one mightfind themselves in with one of theirfriends, the debate nights do have a

relative structure to them. Whatwe usually do is ... introduce thetopic itself and give a quick backstory to what it is. Then each personwill have two minutes to make theirargument. Then theres a five to tenminute period depending on howwell it goes where the two oppo-nents can have at each others argu-ment, and they each get a twominute summation at the end andfield questions from the audience.This helps to prevent the debatesfrom getting out of hand.

If the thought of going for anight out to quarrel and bicker dis-pleases you, dont fret Boyes as-sured me that the debates arealways kept light-hearted and easy-going. There [are no topics] thatare really too heavy. We tried tokeep it light and entertaining stuffthat anyone could really get on

board with as opposed to politicalor religious views.

Thats not to say that debatenight at The Fainting Goat willnever involve serious topics. Boyesexplains that its not that the staff is-

nt open to them, but heavier topicshave never really come up. If wewould [discuss serious matters], Idlike to maybe balance it out a bitmore to have one serious topic andone really ridiculous topic or tworidiculous topics because the wholeidea is to have fun. When you startgetting really heavy with...topicsthat affect peoples ideals and iden-tities, you can bring a lot of tensionand heat to a situation, and thatstotally what its not about.

Currently, topics are light-hearted in range. It can be what-ever the people want to debateabout, but usually theyre just silly

bullshit topics. One we had was themerit of UFC and whether its ac-tual fighting skill or macho chau-vinism. [Another] one was whichwould you rather have kill you, thefast zombie or slow zombie?

We also did one that was dis-cussing the sociology or social sub-culture that is hipsterism, if its avalid social subculture or justridiculous. That was a pretty goodone ... a room full of people attack-ing this cultural idea that we nowhave wherein a lot of these peopleare actually involved in the culturalidea.

Even though the debate topicsare about things that have little sig-nificance, peoples emotions can getinvolved in the discussions and cancause spin-off conversations to hap-

pen in the audience. What ends uphappening at the end of the night isthat youve got all these people whostart talking about the debates thatwent on and then their views on thedebates with their friends, andthose can lead off into different sub-

ject matter. By the end of the night,people are having all kinds of argu-ments about all kinds of differentthings, but its all meant in goodfun of course.

The debates run between threegroups of two people, but also in-corporate audience questions sothat as many people can get in-volved as possible, and thus, asmany people as possible have fun.The audience is always given achance to ask questions, so they al-

ways get a chance to get their twocents in as well.

If youd like to join in on thefun of arguing over a beer andprove your master debating skills,you can check out the next debatenight this Thursday, Nov. 26 at TheFainting Goat at 2330 Albert Street.

OK, so the Wizard himself isnt actually allthat magical, but youve got to admire howin a world of actual magical beings the wiz-ard managed to fool everyone into thinkinghe was some great and powerful being,rather than just a small man behind a curtain.

Its so hard to choose just one wizard from theHarry Potter series to be on this list, but if hadto choose just one, it would have to be AlbusDumbledore.

Merlin (TheSword in theStone)

Merlin has been a character in many adapta-

tions of the Arthurian legend, but my per-sonal favorite is his portrayal as atime-traveling, spell-slinging, singing anddancing Renaissance man in Disneys TheSword in the Stone. Best quote: Blow me toBermuda!

Gandalf isnt just any wizard; he is the mostinfluential wizard in modern fantasy. In cre-ating Gandalf, J. R. R. Tolkien created the

blueprint for nearly every wise wizard in fan-tasy fiction until J. K. Rowling and other nov-elists of her generation brought the world ofmagic into the contemporary realm.

Everyone knows one. The friend whotouts knowledge about the nutritionalcontent of brewers yeast; the co-worker who makes dairy-free cup-cakes for the office. Vegans are

everywhere, and they want to tell youabout it.

The month of November cele-brates all things vegan with the fourthannual Vegan Month of Food. Alsowittily known as Vegan MoFo, theevent takes place online, where blog-gers from all over the world pledge towrite about vegan food at least fivetimes a week. The website boasts over550 bloggers from numerous countriesincluding the U.S., Canada, the U.K.,Australia, Belgium, France, Denmark,Sweden, Germany, Spain, Poland,

Japan, Singapore, the Philippines,Israel, the French West Indies andSouth Africa.

Although the bloggers may comefrom different locations, they all haveone thing in common: A passion for

cooking without animal byproducts,products, or derivatives such as meat,dairy, or eggs.

The worldwide blogging eventwas created by Kittee Berns and IsaChandra Moskowitz, a popular vegancookbook author. After writing Veganwith a Vengeance in 2005, Moskowitzcame up with the idea to host an onlineevent where vegan bloggers couldshare their most delicious veganrecipes. Moskowitz modelled the on-line event after The National NovelWriting Month, and the first Vegan

MoFo in 2006 turned out to be a greatsuccess.

Ever since, the event has gainedincreasing popularity, particularly dueto Moskowitzs success with her fouradditional vegan cookbooks.

One of the things I like aboutMoFo is that almost everyone sets theirown goals for the month, saidMoskowitz. I hope to use the time to

write some recipes for a gluten-free ve-gan zine. Collectively, it is fun toswamp the Internet with amazing ve-gan food and to build a huge online ve-gan community.

The collective Vegan MoFo groupis also hoping to promote what theysee as being the true definition of veg-anism since the term is often misun-derstood or mistaken as a synonym ofvegetarianism.

[We] believe there is only one def-inition of veganism, which Wikipediadoes a good job of wording, Veganismis a philosophy and lifestyle whose ad-herents seek to exclude the use of ani-mals for food, clothing or any otherpurpose. Vegans endeavour not to useor consume animal products of anykind. Vegetarians, on the other hand,

include animal products in their dietand wardrobe.

Veganism has a special place inVictoria, B.C., with the city having nu-merous restaurants with vegan op-tions. Although, the University ofVictorias on-campus dining can bechallenging for vegan students, VeganMoFo recommends that studentsshould organize a student group andkeep [veganism] active. Regular char-ity bake sales are an amazing way toget everyone involved, and to showhow delicious vegan treats can be.

Students who want simple, appetiz-ing, healthy vegan meals can use acrock pot to make chill, stews, or dhal,an Indian lentil soup.

Rice cookers are also a great cook-ing tool. You can use them for othergrains besides rice, and they oftencome with timers and can keep yourfood warm for hours. Other quick, in-expensive ideas include baked tofu,

beans, brown rice, whole grain pastaand frozen or fresh veggies.

The creators of Vegan MoFo be-lieve that the benefits of veganism go

beyond just what one eats. Although itmay take a little bit more effort, in theirexperience, being a vegan is worth it.

The benefits can vary from per-son to person; obviously some veganseat a very healthy diet and others donot, said the Vegan MoFo group. It iseasy to follow the standard AmericanDiet in a vegan way, which is nothealthy.

However, if properly followed, ve-ganism changes ones whole lifestyle.[We] think veganism becomes alifestyle choice, but in [our] opinion,veganism is not based solely on some-ones diet. [We] seek to exclude ani-

mals from our clothing and othergoods as much as possible.

The recipes posted on the blogrange from simple to complex, andsome of them call for some interestingingredients.

Nevertheless, the bloggers alwaysrave about how delicious they are. Somaybe call up that vegan friend or co-worker of yours and try a vegan recipeor two. You might be so delighted thatyou could be signing up to blog aboutveganism for next year s Vegan MoFo.

Technology has done a great job ofeliminating human effort. Countlesstasks have been simplified, andthousands of once-useful objectshave been driven to extinction infavour of smaller, smarter, more ef-fective inventions. Now it appearsthat singers and live performers areexperiencing the preliminary stagesof extinction at least in Japan, thatis.

The Japan-based companiesCrypton Future Media and Yamahahave combined their engineeringforces to create something that has

been labeled as disturbing by some,and brilliant by others: Acompletelycomputer generated, 3D holographicperforming artist named HatsuneMiku, who performs using a voicesynthesizing technology calledVocaloid and she is blowing upin Japan.

Thats right, this fully 3D

singer is a projected hologram thatperforms on stage in front of thou-sands of fans with the click of a but-ton. Miku is completely artificial: no

blood, no bones, just light and en-ergy.

Hatsune Miku is a digital avatarcreated by Crypton Future Media to

be the face of their voice synthesiz-ing program that runs off ofYamahas Vocaloid engine.

Vocaloid is a voice synthesizerthat allows its users to simply type inlyrics, choose a melody, and spit outa song. Its so simple, in fact, thatthousands of everyday Japanese cit-izens have jumped on board and aremaking chart-topping hits in theirhome country some of which havesold as many as four million copies

worldwide.The goal of the technology is toallow online users to create theirown songs, and post them. The de-velopers at Crypton simply cus-tomized the Vocaloid technology toproduce a unique sound, created theHatsune Miku avatar to be the faceof the program, and poof a digitalpop star was born.

Our goal was to turn it into acharacter, one of the Crypton visualartists said, But we didnt expect[her] to become so widely accepted.After the program was released in2007, the fan base exploded and le-gions of armchair songwriters

jumped at the chance to create their

own music and share it with theworld.

Images of Hatsune were pub-lished on billboards, magazines, andracecars, and she also started creep-ing her way into videogames and

Japanese television. All the while,fan-made songs such as Melt werereaching download numbers in themillions.

Just a few months ago, the artifi-cial celebrity took the next step intosuperstardom, performing liveshows in front of thousands ofcrazed fans; appearing on stage as adynamic 3D hologram as capacitycrowds cheer and sing along.

Before you try to wrap yourmind around the absurdity of a com-puter program reaching this kind of

popularity, just take a moment tothink about how incredible thiswhole thing really is.

The capability of modern daytechnology is simply mind-boggling.If a hologram appeared on stage justfifty years ago, it would no doubthave been greeted with screams ofDEMON! followed by gunshotsand outright hysteria about the endof the world. But today, artificial per-formers like Hatsune Miku are sky-rocketing in popularity, and allowingfans to be actively involved in thecreation process.

Although it seems very unlikelythat programs like Miku could pos-sibly replace real musicians, the com-munity involved views this as acreative movement, with goals ofreaching around the globe.

If nothing else, this is a testa-ment to the incredible power of tech-nology in our current day and age.The potential for future programsmelts the mind. Today, its a holo-graphic singer, and tomorrow itcould be holographic theatre,movies, or videogames. No lame 3Dglasses required.

Thats right, this fully 3D singer is a pro-jected hologram that performs on stage in

front of thousands of fans with the click of a

button. Miku is completely artificial: no

blood, no bones, just light and energy

Were going to the Grey CupCanadian Press

With a record 7-1, the University ofRegina Cougars womens basketballteam has been nearly flawless thisseason. Is it safe to say the loss of all-star post Brittany Read has not af-fected them that much?

Jonathan Hamelin: Having talked tosome members of the organization ear-lier this year, it is clear that the loss ofRead did not deter them from theirgoal. You dont get to be good like thisteam has by giving up when an injuryhappens.

Autumn McDowell: Obviously. The

Cougars bench is way too deep to haveone graduated player make that muchof a difference. Im not saying thatRead wasnt good. She was, there is noquestion about that. However, basket-

ball is a team sport, not Brittany Readfeaturing others.

Colin Buchinski: A 7-1 record is prettymuch indicative it hasnt affected themthat much. They should be a contenderonce again this season.

Edward Dodd: Losing a player is al-ways hard on a team. I am sure its af-

fected them, but they are obviouslydealing well with it. Players adjust,and they are adjusting very well, as

proven by their awesome record.

The Saskatchewan Roughriderspulled out a 20-16 road victory on theCalgary Stampeders in the West fi-nal last Sunday. How sweet was it tobeat the Stampeders in the playoffsonce again?

Hamelin: Its amazing, because thisfranchise has suffered through somuch in its existence. Now, we are theteam causing another team to consis-tently lose when it matters the most.Suck on that Calgary!

McDowell: Im not going to lie, thisvictory tastes extra sweet. I am goingto try and ignore the fact that we cameextremely close to losing due to Grice-

Mullen, but a win is a win and a play-off win is even better.

Buchinski: It was absolutely AMAZ-ING to beat the Stampeders in theirown barn. I loved seeing Nik Lewis,Henry Burris, and Dwight Andersonwhining all night long. Stampeder fanscame into this game very cocky andkarma bit them right in the ass. GORIDERS GO!

Dodd: Nothing is sweeter than seeingCalgary fail! They are honestly a goodteam, but they just cant deal with the

almost-magic ability of the Riders towin key games in the playoffs.

The Riders are going to the Grey Cupin Edmonton, which is this Sunday, 5p.m., on TSN! With the struggles theteam has faced this season, did youthink they would be back in the GreyCup at this point? Will you be mak-ing the trek down to Edmonton?

Hamelin: Ill be at the Grey Cup,cheering and screaming until I com-pletely destroy my voice box. Did I al-ways think theyd be here after theystruggled for a bit? No. But, I will suredo my best to support them now thatthey did make it to the big game.

McDowell: I was pretty much certainthat the Riders would be back for a lit-tle bit of round two, and I was evenmore certain that it would be against

the Alouettes. Unfortunately, I will notbe making the trek to Edmonton, but Iwill have a front row seat from thecomfort of my living room.

Buchinski: Based on my previousroundtable answers you can go backand check if you want I predictedthe Riders to be back in the game andwin it. Im sticking with that.

Dodd: I think I predicted last weekthey would not make it here. They justsucked at the end of the season and Ithought the trend might continue into

the playoffs. Luckily, I was wrong. Iwill not be going to Edmonton ... toomany essays and Im just too poor.

Whats going to go down in the GreyCup game?

Hamelin: Ideally, for the first time allseason, the Riders are going to play acomplete game and dominateMontreal. Its certainly possible whenyou consider Montreal has to travelall the way to Edmonton and also playin weather theyre not used to.Saskatchewan could jump out to anearly lead while the Alouettes are accli-matizing.

McDowell: The Riders will get off to aslow start, but will pick things up be-fore the half, at which point there will

be a crappy half time show. The Ridersand Alouettes will be back and forth

through the third, with the Riderspulling ahead and taking it home inthe fourth.

Buchinski: The Riders will fall downby 10-12 points early and then pour iton and win the game. Damon Duvalwill shank many kicks and punts, thefans will be crazy, and the halftimeshow will be sub-par.

Dodd: Early Montreal lead, amazingSaskatchewan comeback in the secondhalf, ending in a missed field goal bySaskatchewan for the Montreal win.

But wait! Montreal had 13 men on thefield! Saskatchewan does not fail onthe second attempt, we win the Grey

Cup!

Its prediction time, but not regardingthe score. How many times will the13th man call from last season bebrought up this week leading up tothe Grey Cup?

Hamelin: It will be brought up a lot.Honestly, it deserves to be. It was suchan unbelievable play. But, the Ridershave the unique opportunity to makepeople forget about the 13th man bywinning the Grey Cup. Winning fixeseverything!

McDowell: Oh god. I dont even wantto think about how many times peoplewill bring it up. You would think thatwe would have gotten used to hearing

it by now, but no. Its still just as an-noying.

Buchinski: The 13th man call will bebrought up a total of 956 times ... daily.

Dodd: No less than 23 times beforethe game, and definitely every time afield goal is attempted thereafter. Ihope Jon Hamelin is going to be keep-ing count as he watches the game sowe know if Im right.

The price is WightWight and fellow forwards have been money for Cougars

womens hockey team

photos by Ali Nikolic

It is rare for a womens hockey playerto have more goals than HayleyWickenheiser.

Well, for University of ReginaCougars womens hockey forwardRianne Wight, that is exactly the case.With 12 goals on the season, the fifth-year Wawota product leads the deco-rated hockey legend, who playsforward for the University of CalgaryDinos, by three goals. Along withWights 12 goals, she has added four

assists for a total of 16 points.Its pretty cool, offered Wight,who is tied for second among CISplayers in total goals scored. Shesobviously the best female hockeyplayer in the nation, so its nice toknow that youre there and its some-

thing to say I guess. I think shes hada few less games than Ive had, but i f Icould stay with her Id definitely behappy.

Wight has not been the only playerdominating offensively for Regina thisseason. Paige Wheeler (six goals, nineassists) and Kelcie McCutcheon (nineassists, 11 points), have formed a dom-inant scoring line with Wight. As ateam, the Cougars are averaging 2.58goals a game close to 27.7 shots agame. All three players are easily inline to shatter their point totals fromlast season.

Playing on a really strong line hashelped, explained Wight when askedabout her successful start to the sea-son. Paige and Kelsey are definitelygetting me the puck a lot. Ive been atthe right place at the right time I guess.Its just nice to always know you havethem with you.

We all have really good chem-istry, added Wheeler, a third-year for-ward from Estevan. Our coach [SarahHodges] finally put us all together ona line.

All three players noted that prepa-ration in the off-season has been a keyto their success during the CanadaWest regular season.

We train a lot in the off-season,said McCutcheon, a fifth-year forwardhailing from Ceylon. We have work-outs every week that we do togetherand individually.

The team also got a new sense ofdirection during the off-season.

We got a new trainer this sum-mer, Shawn Kuster, and he set up a re-ally specific hockey program for us,mentioned Wight. It seems to beworking for us very well. Its a veryhockey-specific lots of power.Working with that program has helpedmake us a stronger team.

While it has been Wight, Wheeler,and McCutcheon providing the ma-

jority of the scoring for the Cougars,they noted that it has been their fifth-year captain, Rae-Lynn Somogyi, whohas been providing leadership to thesquad. Points have certainly been hardto come by for Somogyi. She has notfound the score sheet this season. Thisis not exactly a huge shock, as she hasonly averaged around four points aseason in her university career.

Shes one of those captains who

doesnt get credited for their hardwork, explained Wheeler. Shesmore of a defensive player, not offen-sive.

Rae-Lynn is a great leader, saidWight. We can definitely all look upto her.

Wight added that Rae-Lynn is ac-tually doing her internship right nowso shes got a lot on her plate.

Despite strong scoring and strongleadership, Regina has struggled in thelast while. After a triumphant start tothe season, which saw the Cougarspost four wins in their fi rst six games,Regina has dropped five of the last six.At 5-5-2, the team has dropped to fifthin the conference.

Because of their strong start,Wheeler feels that the Cougars have

entered games too confident.During this stretch, the numbers

are not pretty. Regina has allowed 37goals and only put up 12. Goals have

been hard to come by, a fact whichholds true for Wight, Wheeler andMcCutcheon as well.

Were all playing on differentdays, noted Wight. We havent beencoming together as a team.

Also, more pressure has been putgoaltender Lisa Urban, and the num-

bers dictate that. Urbans save percent-age has dropped to .870% and she isallowing four goals a game.

We need to work on our defenceplay and help our goalie, explainedWheeler. Some goals have been[Lisas] fault, but they wouldnt be her

fault if we wouldve helped her.Once theyve scored on you a few

times, you kind of get in a slump andnothing works for you, mentionedWight.

Still, the Cougars have not let theirrecent struggles destroy their confi-dence.

Were optimistic, saidMcCutcheon. Our record still isntthat bad. Were not too far that wecant get back.

Were just trying to think of thepositives and not the negatives,added Wight.

For results of last weekendsCougars games against the Universityof Lethbridge Pronghorns, see this is-sues U of R sports roundup.

Wight has teamed up with McCutcheon and Wheeler to provide plenty of scoring for the Cougars this season.

[Rianne, Kelcie and I] have really goodchemistry. Our coach [Sarah Hodges] finally

put us all together on a line.

We train a lot in the off-season. We haveworkouts every week that we do together

The Thompson Rivers UniversityWolfPack womens volleyball squadcame to Regina looking to record theirfirst Canada West victory of the sea-son, but they left the same way theyarrived: winless.

The Cougars held the WolfPack incheck with a 25-17, 25-11, 25-19 victoryon Friday at the Centre forKinesiology, Health and Sport and fol-

lowed it up with a comefrom-behind16-25, 25-11, 25-14, 25-21 triumph onSaturday. By sweeping theWolfPack, the Cougars improved to 3-3, which puts them sixth in the confer-ence.

From the outset of Fridays match,there was no doubt that Regina wasthe superior of the two teams. Byrecording 14 opening-set kills, againstonly a trio of errors, the Cougars letthe WolfPack know they were revvedup to play.

Entering the weekend, theCougars ranked second in the confer-ence in service aces, averaging 2.10per set, and they continued that trendversus Thompson Rivers. SolveigNilson led the Cougars in servingFriday night with four aces. She also

tallied seven kills against only one at-tack error.We served really well, said

Cougars head coach Melanie Sanford.That took Thompson Rivers right outof their rhythm. Solveig had a greatnight [Friday]; they couldnt stop her.

Meagan Onstad of the Cougarsled all players in Fridays contest witha dozen kills, and many of them werethe result of a quick set offence.Tiffany Herman assisted on all but sixof Reginas 37 kills and recorded 11 ofthe teams 33 digs.

On Saturday, at least in the open-ing set, points were a little harder tocome by for the Cougars.

The WolfPack roared out to aquick 4-0 lead and pushed their leadto eight points at the second technicaltimeout by continuing to attack with

Kelly Asleson off the left side. Eventhough the Cougars narrowed theWolfPacks lead to five points,Thompson Rivers was too strong inthe opening set en route to notching aseason-high attack efficiency of 29.6per cent.

However, on the opening point ofthe second set, Nilson and Onstadteamed up for a huge block. The ex-citement from that play seemed togenerate a spark among theirteammates and the hometown crowd.

During the second set, Reginawent on an 8-0 run and extended theirlead to 15-3. They did it by going backto a quick set offence, a tactic that theWolfPack was unable to stop the pre-vious night.

I really felt that Thompson Rivers

was flying very high and could do nowrong, noted Sanford. Theyre notgoing to be able to play like that for-ever, so you got to be really patientand just play your game.

It was like deja vu in the third setfor the Cougars, as they built another

double-digit lead at 15-4 before split-ting the final 20 points of the set.

Despite once again falling behindin the fourth set, Thompson Riversshowed determination and grit by ex-tending rallies, throwing themselvesat loose balls and capitalizing onReginas mistakes. In the end, how-ever, the WolfPacks spirited finalpush came up short.

Once again, Asleson ledThompson Rivers in kills and digswith 12 apiece. For the Cougars,Onstad and Sweeting each registered

11 kills and Herman turned in anotheroutstanding performance with amatch-high 38 assists.

We knew that they were goingto play better [Saturday] for sure andmy team did a good job of respondingto that, explained Sanford. We didwhat we needed to do.

Mentally, I think we showed re-ally good energy and if we made anerror, we came back and we scoredagain right away.

The Cougars opened their four-game homestand with a pair of lossesto Trinity Western UniversitySpartans, but rebounded with twohard-earned victories over ThompsonRivers. The Cougars play their finaltwo games of 2010 next weekendwhen they head on the road to face the

3-3 University of Calgary DinosTo do anything in this league atany level you cant just win one[game] here and then win another onedown the road, said Sanford. Youvegot to be able to put matches to-gether.

since last January

Colter set a U of R single-match record with 12 blocks in a game

last Friday against Thompson Rivers

For the University of Regina Cougarsmens volleyball team, it was a winthat was a long time coming.

The Cougars were able to capturetheir first win of the season last Fridaynight, and the first since Jan. 23, 2009,

by earning a 25-19, 17-25, 25-17, 21-25,15-10 Canada West victory over theThompson Rivers UniversityWolfPack at the Centre forKinesiology, Health and Sport.

Numerous members of theCougars played well including setterMatt Hender, who finished the nightwith 32 assists, nine blocks and sixdigs.

It was a good game, explainedHender. [Thompson Rivers] cameout with a different rotation than wewere used to seeing, but once we gotused to it we were able to find theholes.

The first set saw a lot of key blocks made by the Cougars, whilethe WolfPack were guilty of numerousservice errors, giving up many freepoints to Regina. However,Thompson Rivers proved that theywerent going to be an easy team totake out as they came back to take thesecond set 25-17.

In the third set, a crucial substitu-tion was made by the WolfPack thatsaw Kevin Tillie, who leads confer-ence in kills, come into the game afterresting an injury.

They put in their best player,which gave them some confidence,

but we were still able to take the third

set, observed Hender.Although Tillie was only subbed

into the game late in the third, he wasable to register eight kills for the vis-iting squad. His presence on the courtwas immediately felt but the hometown boys were able to tighten uptheir defensive game.

Throughout the game, it reallywas a story of defensive play. JoelColter led the way in the blocking de-partment for the Cougars, earning 12out of the teams 20 blocks, and nowsits second in the conference with anaverage of 1.61 blocks per set. Colters12 blocks set a U of R single-matchrecord. Other players who reallystepped it up on the defensive side ofthings for Regina included BrodyWaddell, who led the team with nine

digs and Drew Smith, who had sevenblocks.

Hender said, Our defenceplayed well and made a lot of key

blocks.Jamie Wilkins led the way offen-

sively for the Cougars, registering 14kills.

Ryan Talsma did his best to helpout the WolfPack, as he was creditedwith 12 kills, while Joel Caschetto alsopitched in with 10. WolfPack setterColin Carson had a monster nightwith 41 assists and 12 digs on thenight. However, even with these indi-vidual performances, the team wasunable to come together in order toconquer Regina.

It feels great to get this win andit wont be the last, Hender prom-ised.

The Cougars were not so fortu-nate the next day, dropping a 25-22,

25-11, 26-24 decision to ThompsonRivers. The Cougars now sit eighthin the conference with a record of 1-5,while the WolfPack is fifth at 3-3. TheCougars are in action this weekend,when they make the trip to Calgary totake on the 6-0 Dinos. These will bethe last games that the team will play

before the December break andshould provide a good challenge forRegina.

Although the University of ReginaCougars womens soccer team is notexactly the top dog, they made manyimprovements this season whichcaused them to record their bestrecord ever.

The team performed very well,noted fourth-year goalkeeperMichelle Anderson. We had a goal ofsix or more wins going into the sea-son. Unfortunately, we didnt achievethat, but we had five wins and twoties. A girl on the team did the mathand we have improved 183 per centsince last year.

Regina was able to post a 5-7-2Canada West record this season,which put them eighth in the confer-ence. It was a vast improvement from

last season, when they finished withonly two wins and finished last in theconference.

Much of their improvement isdue to strong performance byAnderson this season. Anderson wasnamed a conference first-team all-starearlier this month, and has alreadyset numerous career records for theCougars in all major goalkeeping cat-egories, including wins (six), goals-against average (1.83), and shutouts(seven).

When asked about her success,Anderson remained humble.

Personal success doesnt reallymean much if the team isnt success-ful, she reasoned, Soccer is a teamsport and you can only look good if

your team makes you look good.She also is not taking all the credit

for her teams improvement and suc-cess this season.

Much of our success as a teamhas come from our coaches, she ob-served. Bob [Maltman] has been the

biggest asset to our success becausehe has believed in this team since hisfirst day on the job. He and the coach-ing staff that he has chosen havehelped to push us to the place wherewe are at today. Our assistant coachLara [Guzik] and goalie coach Paul[Gardikiotis] have both dedicatedtheir time for our benefit.

[Our success] was also solelybased on the fact that we had a groupof girls and coaches who believed ineach other and our skill s. We put the

time in on and off the field and the re-sults showed. Howe
