Fleet Foxes to change name (Rolling Stoned)
Looking to increase their following in England,
American indie-folk band Fleet Foxes are on
the verge of a name change. An inside source
reported that the decision was inspired by the
popular English group Bastille. Taking Bastille’s
lead, Fleet Foxes will focus on an important
national celebration as well: Bonfire Day.
The manager for the band was apparently left a
little in the dark regarding the change though as
one of the members said, “He doesn’t know why.”

Three-year-old robs corner store
» Witnesses say he was armed with a Nerf gun
Livia Turnbull
Contributor
At corner store was
shaken up by a robbery
on Tuesday afternoon. The
suspect, three-year-old
Tyler Conners, walked into
the store armed witha toy
Nerf gun. Conners seemed
to be unaware of the crime
and appeared to just be in
search of candy. Sources say
that Conners lives down the
street from the store, and is
often seen with his father.
“When Conners came
into the store, I got on the
ground right away,” says a
male witness. “Those foam
darts really hurt, you know.”
“I was so panicked that
: I gave Conners the candy
: right away,” says a cashier.
: “He really wanted the Aero
: bars. When he was distracted,
: [hit the silent alarm.”
Conners gorged himself
: ona few Aero bars and then
: walked over to the maga-
: zine rack where he flipped
: through an auto magazine.
“He smeared the entire
: thing with chocolate while
: telling us to come over and
: look at cars with him,” says a
: female witness. “He expressed
: plans to buy the red ‘truck’
: model as a getaway car. I just
: didn’t know what to do.”
Conners had just gone to
: sleep ina quiet corner of the
: store when the police arrived.
: He attempted to evade arrest
: by throwing a tantrum.
“He was getting to be
: pretty dangerous,” said
: Constable Ryan Irenn.
: “We debated about using
: the taser on him, but we
: decided that he would tire
: himself out eventually.”
Conners was sent back
: to his home, where his father
: promptly gave hima time out
: and made him eat an extra
: serving of vegetables for
: dinner. However, it appears
: some people are not happy
: about Conners’ punishment.
“That boy should have
: spenta night in jail,” says
: Dave Blackstone. “That'll
: teach him to watch that Yo
: Gabba Gabba filth. That
: show encourages positive
: creative expression, which
: can lead to violence. I read
: anarticle about that once.”
People are also organizing
: petitions calling for toy gun
: control. However, some people
: are against this movement.
“The toy gun industry is
: one of the last gun suppliers
: not being controlled by
: the government. If people
: starting taking away our
: toy guns, we'll have nothing
: left to defend ourselves.
: THANKS OBAMA,’ writes
: Mark Andrews on Facebook.

: are [sic] most importent [sic]

At corner store was
shaken up by a robbery
on Tuesday afternoon. The
suspect, three-year-old
Tyler Conners, walked into
the store armed witha toy
Nerf gun. Conners seemed
to be unaware of the crime
and appeared to just be in
search of candy. Sources say
that Conners lives down the
street from the store, and is
often seen with his father.
“When Conners came
into the store, I got on the
ground right away,” says a
male witness. “Those foam
darts really hurt, you know.”
“I was so panicked that
: I gave Conners the candy
: right away,” says a cashier.
: “He really wanted the Aero
: bars. When he was distracted,
: [hit the silent alarm.”
Conners gorged himself
: ona few Aero bars and then
: walked over to the maga-
: zine rack where he flipped
: through an auto magazine.
“He smeared the entire
: thing with chocolate while
: telling us to come over and
: look at cars with him,” says a
: female witness. “He expressed
: plans to buy the red ‘truck’
: model as a getaway car. I just
: didn’t know what to do.”
Conners had just gone to
: sleep ina quiet corner of the
: store when the police arrived.
: He attempted to evade arrest
: by throwing a tantrum.
“He was getting to be
: pretty dangerous,” said
: Constable Ryan Irenn.
: “We debated about using
: the taser on him, but we
: decided that he would tire
: himself out eventually.”
Conners was sent back
: to his home, where his father
: promptly gave hima time out
: and made him eat an extra
: serving of vegetables for

your fashion-forward bestie is
wearing? Wondering what’s
trending up for fall? Try
turning to a lookbook like
Verlico.
Lookbooks are nothing
new online. They usually take
depicting the personal style
of either fashionable opinion
leaders or designers. Originally
used for marketing purposes,
thanks to the democratization
of fashion online, lookbooks
now feature regular people and
fashion.
Verlico Style (verlico.ca)
is a homegrown fashion social
media site that combines a
classic lookbook with the
photo tagging technology we
use on sites like Facebook.
It’s easy to sign up for: just
link it to your pre-existing
social media account of choice
(Facebook or Twitter), upload
a photo of your style, and then
tag your articles of clothing
with their designer.
We spoke with Stephanie
marketing strategist (and
Other Press Life & Style
: editorial alum) about the
: exciting new waves that Verlico
: is making in the Canadian
: fashion scene. In an email
: interview, Trembath says that
Cres about who designed Verlico will revolutionize
fashion blogging. “Tagging
: your fashion items/products in
: Verlico streamlines the process
: of searching, styling, and
: shopping for products online,”
: She tells us.
She adds, “The tags are
: ‘live’ and when you add the
the form of a gallery of pictures = embed code to your blog,
when people hover or click
: the tags they will be able to
: see the brand, style details,
: and a link [to] where you can
: buy the product. Essentially, it
: will be every fashion blogger’s
: favourite item, second to
their everyday fashion, or street : 3 pair of killer heels anda
: photographer.”
Trembath says that Verlico,
founded by Hamed Madani
: and Milad Gouganiy, is “the
: result of two tech-savvy
: engineers putting their passion
: to work.”
Madani and Gougani hope
to turn the site into a space to
: connect all aspects of fashion
: production, from designers,
: to bloggers, and all the way
: to discerning consumers. :
: Trembath says the team has big :
Y - } dreams for Verlico’s future.
Trembath, Verlico’s community :
Their vision, she says, is
: “a fashion house for designer
: labels and brands where you
; can promote products, a
: platform for bloggers to feature
: their style and collaborate with
brands, and a space where
; users can explore new looks
: and learn everything about
: fashion’—a vision that truly
: encompasses the multiple
levels of the fashion chain.
According to Trembath,
: florals are trending huge on
: Verlico right now: “Roden Gray
has some pretty neat floral
: print shirts for men, and a new
: Vancouver designer, Dayson
: Winter, has an entire collection
: of fun and flirty floral rompers
; and tees for the ladies.”
She also says to look out
for bold monochromatic looks
: for fall 2014, and be prepared
: with textured pieces and large,
: chunky jewelry. Go minimal
: with your style for fall and
: punch it up with statement

: inspire your fall look.
“I see fashion as a form
of expression and art,” says
: Trembath, adding that “cultural

is an exciting new way to

Extracting the ‘love hormone’
» Maximizing the oxytocin benefits in your lifestyle
Cazzy Lewchuk
Staff Writer
D espite only being
scientifically discovered
within the last 150 years,
oxytocin (commonly known
as the “love hormone”) has
been making almost every
type of animal happy since the
beginning of life on Earth. It is
not only a physical hormone
in our bodies, but a universal
concept responsible for the
absence of pain and abundance
of creation throughout history.
Retired Emeritus Lecturer
at UBC, Denes Devenyi,
: considers oxytocin to be crucial
: for selflessness. In 2009 he
: was asked by the Hungarian
: Academy of Science to present
: his “Oxytocin Hypothesis,”
: and he has stated that one
: can maximize their “oxytocin
: footprint”—that is, increase the
: amount of oxytocin that you
: create for yourself and others.
Oxytocin is a molecule
: that is literally the absence of
: suffering, and the foundation of
: happiness and creation. It has
: been recognized by the World
: Health Organization as an
: essential medication needed for
: basic human health. Oxytocin
: is produced and released during
: such very intimate acts as
: childbirth, breastfeeding, and
: sex. However, production is
: also stimulated through other,
: much simpler means, like a hug
: ora good conversation. The
: feeling and transfer doesn’t even :
: have to be human to human—
: animals and pets give and
: receive the same effects.
Any act of creation
: produces oxytocin. The artist
: painting a picture has it flow
: through them asa result of
: artistic creativity. In turn, those
: who view the picture have
: oxytocin surge in their bodies.
: It’s truly a scientific method
: of synergy and an indicator of
: the unlimited potential stirring
: within humanity.
Laughter produces it.
: Connecting with someone
: we like produces it, even if
: only online. Making physical
: contact with someone—a hug
: ora handshake—establishes
trust through the surge of
: oxytocin. Eating healthy and
: delicious foods helps stimulate
: its manufacturing. It’s based on
: sharing, a concept that we’ve
: been taught since kindergarten.
: All forms of oxytocin-transfer
: involve sharing something,
: whether it’s a physical
: connection or an emotional
: one.
In short, this natural
: hormone is incredibly easy
: to get, and it’s something we
: can all use more of in our lives
: through very simple changes.
: It reduces pain, stimulates
: positive emotions, creates
: genuine bonds between living
: things, and basically sums
: up the essence of all things
: that make humanity better.
: Oxytocin is almost the physical
: embodiment of love itself.
: It’s quite possible that, to
: paraphrase the Beatles, all you
: need is oxytocin.
Maximize your oxytocin
: footprint on this Earth. The
: saying “live, laugh, love” may
: bea cliché, but it’s a powerful
: message. It is the road to
: more oxytocin, creating better
: happiness for not only yourself
: but the entire human race.
: Sharing isn’t just the best thing
: in life; when it all boils down, it
: is the only thing.

Extracting the ‘love hormone’
» Maximizing the oxytocin benefits in your lifestyle
Cazzy Lewchuk
Staff Writer
D espite only being
scientifically discovered
within the last 150 years,
oxytocin (commonly known
as the “love hormone”) has
been making almost every
type of animal happy since the
beginning of life on Earth. It is
not only a physical hormone
in our bodies, but a universal
concept responsible for the
absence of pain and abundance
of creation throughout history.
Retired Emeritus Lecturer
at UBC, Denes Devenyi,
: considers oxytocin to be crucial
: for selflessness. In 2009 he
: was asked by the Hungarian
: Academy of Science to present
: his “Oxytocin Hypothesis,”
: and he has stated that one
: can maximize their “oxytocin
: footprint”—that is, increase the
: amount of oxytocin that you
: create for yourself and others.
Oxytocin is a molecule
: that is literally the absence of
: suffering, and the foundation of
: happiness and creation. It has
: been recognized by the World
: Health Organization as an
: essential medication needed for

: is produced and released during
: such very intimate acts as
: childbirth, breastfeeding, and
: sex. However, production is
: also stimulated through other,
: much simpler means, like a hug
: ora good conversation. The
: feeling and transfer doesn’t even :
: have to be human to human—
: animals and pets give and
: receive the same effects.
Any act of creation
: produces oxytocin. The artist

The shift to cable TV and beyond
» Thoughts concerning the 2014 Emmy nominations and the future of television
Jerrison Oracion
Senior Columnist
he nominations for the
2014 Emmy Awards were
announced last month by
Bruce Rosenblum, the CEO
of The Television Academy,
Mindy Kaling from The Mindy
Project, and Carson Daly from
The Voice. As usual, HBO got
a whopping 45 nominations,
largely thanks to the surprise
hit show True Detective and
Game of Thrones being the
channel’s most popular show
earning 19 nominations.
Interestingly, most of the
shows nominated this year
were shown on premium cable
channels like HBO, Showtime,
AMC, and PBS (which is
available in basic cable).
These channels have become
synonymous with high-quality
shows; they have original
stories, generate a lot of buzz,
and spark conversations.
Expansion to the Internet
with Netflix has also changed
the landscape of television.
There is a new player in the
Emmy Awards now, with
: Netflix exclusives such as
: House of Cards and Orange is
: the New Black contending for
: the prize.
However, with new
runners, there are bound to
: be snubs. Shows that were
: not nominated which could
: have been this year include:
: The Blacklist, Hannibal, and
: the Canadian science fiction
: show Orphan Black. Most of
: these shows have great stories,
: but may not have the same
: quality as those on HBO and
: Showtime.
Orphan Black’s star,
Tatiana Maslany, could have
: been nominated for Lead
: Actress ina Drama. She
: played multiple versions of
: the main character, and it was
: an experimental performance
: worthy of recognition. Next,
: some actors who were seen
: regularly in shows were
: nominated as guest stars
: instead of the leading or
: supporting role. For example,
: Joan Cusack, seen in every
: season of Shameless, was
: nominated for Outstanding
: Guest Actress in a Comedy.
: It’s an interesting category,
; because in a traditional sense,
: she should be nominated for
: Best Supporting Actress ina
: Comedy.
The members of the
Academy tend to nominate
: actors who portray unique
: characters. For example,
: Julia Louis-Dreyfus from
: Veep and Matt LeBlanc from
: Episodes. There were surprise
: nominations this year as
: well, including Adam Driver
: from Girls, Lizzy Caplan from
: Masters of Sex, and Kristen
: Wiig from The Spoils of
: Babylon. All those characters
: are interesting enough to earn
: attention.
My predictions for the
Emmy Awards this year is that
: either Breaking Bad or True
: Detective will win Outstanding
: Drama, Modern Family will
: win Outstanding Comedy, and
: either The Tonight Show, The
: Colbert Report, or The Daily
: Show will win Outstanding
: Variety Show. The miniseries
: version of Fargo will win
: Outstanding Miniseries and
: The Normal Heart will win
: Outstanding TV Movie.

Turning tragedies into triumphs

Margaret Matthews
Columnist
We I was in middle
school I read Helen
Keller’s autobiography
The Story of My Life. Her
courageous spirit and
determination to overcome
her disabilities inspired me. I
asked myself, does one have to
despair when they realize they
are deprived of any of their five
senses? It all depends on the
attitude and the perspective
that the victim adopts: of either
defying the odds against them
or giving up.
I later saw The Terry
Fox Story, which portrays
an 18-year-old Fox who was
diagnosed with bone cancer
in his right leg, which was
amputated so that the disease
would not spread. In 1980,
with only one leg, he began
his journey of running across
Canada. His Marathon of
Hope established the Terry
Fox Foundation in 1988 to
raise funds for cancer research.
Unfortunately, nearing the end
of his journey, his cancer spread
to his lungs, which forced him
to stop running. In 1981, Fox

he nominations for the
2014 Emmy Awards were
announced last month by
Bruce Rosenblum, the CEO
of The Television Academy,
Mindy Kaling from The Mindy
Project, and Carson Daly from
The Voice. As usual, HBO got
a whopping 45 nominations,
largely thanks to the surprise
hit show True Detective and
Game of Thrones being the
channel’s most popular show
earning 19 nominations.
Interestingly, most of the
shows nominated this year
were shown on premium cable
channels like HBO, Showtime,
AMC, and PBS (which is
available in basic cable).
These channels have become
synonymous with high-quality
shows; they have original
stories, generate a lot of buzz,
and spark conversations.
Expansion to the Internet
with Netflix has also changed
the landscape of television.
There is a new player in the
Emmy Awards now, with
: Netflix exclusives such as
: House of Cards and Orange is
: the New Black contending for
: the prize.
However, with new
runners, there are bound to
: be snubs. Shows that were
: not nominated which could
: have been this year include:
: The Blacklist, Hannibal, and
: the Canadian science fiction
: show Orphan Black. Most of
: these shows have great stories,
: but may not have the same
: quality as those on HBO and
: Showtime.
Orphan Black’s star,
Tatiana Maslany, could have
: been nominated for Lead
: Actress ina Drama. She
: played multiple versions of
: the main character, and it was
: an experimental performance
: worthy of recognition. Next,
: some actors who were seen
: regularly in shows were
: nominated as guest stars
: instead of the leading or
: supporting role. For example,
: Joan Cusack, seen in every
: season of Shameless, was
: nominated for Outstanding
: Guest Actress in a Comedy.
: It’s an interesting category,
; because in a traditional sense,
: she should be nominated for
: Best Supporting Actress ina
: Comedy.
The members of the
Academy tend to nominate
: actors who portray unique
: characters. For example,
: Julia Louis-Dreyfus from
: Veep and Matt LeBlanc from
: Episodes. There were surprise
: nominations this year as
: well, including Adam Driver
: from Girls, Lizzy Caplan from
: Masters of Sex, and Kristen
: Wiig from The Spoils of
: Babylon. All those characters
: are interesting enough to earn
: attention.
My predictions for the
Emmy Awards this year is that
: either Breaking Bad or True
: Detective will win Outstanding
: Drama, Modern Family will
: win Outstanding Comedy, and
: either The Tonight Show, The
: Colbert Report, or The Daily
: Show will win Outstanding
: Variety Show. The miniseries

: Outstanding Miniseries and
: The Normal Heart will win
: Outstanding TV Movie.

Turning tragedies into triumphs

Margaret Matthews
Columnist
We I was in middle
school I read Helen
Keller’s autobiography
The Story of My Life. Her
courageous spirit and
determination to overcome
her disabilities inspired me. I
asked myself, does one have to
despair when they realize they
are deprived of any of their five
senses? It all depends on the
attitude and the perspective
that the victim adopts: of either
defying the odds against them
or giving up.
I later saw The Terry
Fox Story, which portrays
an 18-year-old Fox who was
diagnosed with bone cancer
in his right leg, which was
amputated so that the disease
would not spread. In 1980,
with only one leg, he began
his journey of running across
Canada. His Marathon of
Hope established the Terry
Fox Foundation in 1988 to
raise funds for cancer research.
Unfortunately, nearing the end
of his journey, his cancer spread
to his lungs, which forced him
to stop running. In 1981, Fox

of Shakespeare’s The Winter's

has taken a microscope to the
struggles of women not only in
the theatre, but also in life. This

@theotherpress.ca
ast month, I wrote a
feature article for the
Other Press detailing what
I perceive as the dangerous
pervasiveness of rape culture.
Ona personal level, the article
was extremely difficult to
write because I knew that
it would make people—
including those I know, trust,
and love—uncomfortable;
however, because I felt very
strongly about the importance :
of addressing the issue of
rape culture in order to one
day overcome it, I wrote and
published the article. In the
end, I was proud of it. Then I
went to the school...
Within days of the
article’s printing, the display
of the feature at the New
Westminster campus was
vandalized with the words
“4#NOTALLMEN.” While the
words were likely written
haphazardly—who knows if
the calligrapher even read the
article?— they still epitomized
the very problem that my
: article hoped to espouse. I
: have been writing for the
: Other Press for nearly four
: years, and vandalism on our
: feature displays is extremely
: rare. This might have just
: been pen on paper, but it is
: something worth noting.
While I of course
: recognize that this was a
: disposable and relatively minor :
: act, it still affected me. As
: my eyes registered what was
: written on my paper, I felt a
: familiar lurch in my stomach.
: It was the same uncomfortable :
: feeling that I felt when a man
: I had once dated broke into
: my apartment building. After
: I told him I no longer wanted
: to see him, he knocked on my
: most well-educated women of
: Shakespeare’s time to be the
: true author of his texts. There is
: much evidence to support this,
: not in the least Shakespeare's
: (or whoever that may have
: actually been) ability to create
: well rounded and sometimes
: “outspoken” women.
Kyle Moore, after an
interview with Wolpe for
: Footlights, succinctly described
: her reasons for creating all-
: female theatre: “[It] disallows
: the victim mentality. Women
: can squarely face the world,
: their energy focussed to a point,
: not dissipated in an effort to
: avoid attention.”
This is something that I
know many women struggle
: with. In the rehearsal process,
: many of the actors playing male
: roles had to rid themselves
: of some of their feminine
: tendencies. “Don't expose all
: that emotion,” “Don't hide your
: genitals,” and “Lead with your
: basket,” were some directions
: commonly heard. My character:
: exploration led me to experience :
: the struggles of growing up asa
: male, as well as a female.
Now in this production it
was easy to feel supported, but
: the company itself was created
: out of a need that wasn’t being
: met in the current world of
: theatre. When I asked Christina :
: Campbell, Artistic Director :
: of Classic Chic Productions,
: why she created the company
: she said, “The short answer
: is because I want to play Iago
: and this is the only way I'll ever
: beable to do it. The longer
: answer is because women
: need an avenue to practice our
: craft and explore roles outside
: of the gender box. We are,

» Would you rather have three-day workweeks or early retirement?
Elliot Chan
Opinions Editor
M opinions
@theotherpress.ca
o figure: a Mexican
billionaire is suggesting
that we should all convert toa
three-day workweek—un hours
a day—in exchange for a later
retirement at 70 or 75 years old.
Business magnate, investor, and
philanthropist, Carlos Slim,
one of the richest people in the
world, has gone on record in
saying that people would live
much happier lives if they were
given four days to recover and
relax.
I believe it! I know I would
be much happier, spending
four days lounging around not
worrying about work, though
granted I have never been
employed in a nine-to-five kind
of job. The hours add up, and
working takes up a significant
part of life. It would bea shame
to waste it all, regardless of
when your hours are and what
your schedule is like.
Overall, I totally agree with
him. I know personally that I
weekend than I am when my
schedule is fully loaded and I’m
and obligation to the next. I
: like the idea of having an u-
: hour workday, because I have
: a the-sooner-I-get-it-done-
: the-sooner-I-can-rest attitude.
: Lalso rarely ever consider
: retirement: I like what I’m
: doing and I hope! progressand :
: pursue my career for as long as
: possible.
In North America, it’s not
: easy to get time off. We live in
: a work-first-rest-later society;
: a place where making money
: is the number one priority. Just
: look around and see how many
: people are sleep deprived. There
: isno doubt that a three-day
: workweek could change that
: workaholic mentality. I think
: we would all benefit from a
: little more time for socializing,
: a little more time for exercising,
: anda little more time for simple
: contemplation.
: A 2008 survey conducted by :
: the Families and Work Institute
: showed that 46 per cent of
: those given an option to have a
: condensed workweek chose to
: use it at one point or another,
: and 59 per cent of those who
: weren't given such options,
: wished they had it.
The general public is split
: : on that matter, because so
am more productive after along :
: many people are working for
: retirement. That is the ultimate
hine f, ibili : goal in life, and I think that is
Pushing trom one responsip4lity : the wrong mentality. Waiting
: for retirement to me is a scary
: gamble, because who knows if
: one will ever reach that finish
: line. Regardless of retirement, I
: think one needs to focus more
: on finding a work/life balance,
: regardless of the workweek.
We live our first 25 years
: without the fear of labour—if
: we are lucky—as we have our
: parents taking care of us while
: we get an education. Then
: we live the next 40-45 years
: working. After that, if we are
: really lucky, we get to retire and
: live for maybe another 15 years.
: That isa common reality to
: many.
: Yes, I like Slim’s idea of
: a three-day workweek, but I
: prefer the Stefan Sagmeister’s
: way of thinking. Sagmeister,
: a graphic designer, spoke
: about taking five years out of
: those 15 retirement years and
interspersing them in the 40
: years or so of work life. He too
: believed that people needed
: breaks from working, but they
: shouldn't be force to work
: well into their seniority either.
: Rather, people should be able to
: enjoy the world while they still
: have some semblance of youth.
: By having a yearlong sabbatical
: every seven years to relax,
: travel, pursue personal projects,
: rediscover career callings, and
: reassess life’s values, we can
: become healthier citizens and
: happier workers.

I won't save your baby
» Children left in hot cars are parent's responsibility, not civilians
i Elliot Chan
#4. Opinions Editor
© Mopinions
Be, @theotherpress.ca
pars leaving their
children in the car while
they run errands is nothing
uncommon—sadly. And recent
tragedies remind us of all the
bad moms and dads out there,
too ignorant and irresponsible
to care about their children’s
safety. I’m saddened by the
death of those infants, but
I have no sympathy for bad
parenting. If it’s preventable,
it should have been prevented;
otherwise, you don’t deserve
children.
Walking through the
parking lot of shopping malls
and supermarkets, it’s not
unusual to see an automobile
with a child or a pet inside.
The common behaviour when
witnessing such a circumstance
: is to mind your own business.
: The parents or guardians will
: return shortly. It’s wrong to
: make a big deal, smash the
: windows, and call the police,
: right? Even if the being trapped
inside is suffocating, dying?
If you are heroic, you
: are also foolish. Mentalities
of bad parents are also the
; mentalities of bad people. It’s a
: generalization, but if you're bad
: at one, there are few redeeming
: qualities that can balance
: it out. Parenting attributes
: should be a parent’s identity
: first and foremost. That means
: if you break a bad parent’s car
: window, you are probably going :
: to get sued. It doesn’t matter if
: the child is saved or not. They
: will blame it on you, the red-
handed car thief and alleged
: child abductor. If you call the
: but if youre wrong, you'll have
: from their parents. You just
: broke up a family for essentially :
: no reason. So, are you a hero?
: The only way to stop infants :
: and toddlers from dying in
: vehicles while their parents
: shop, bank, or whatever, is

Get your head in the game
» A look at sports psychology
Emile Rybak,
The Cascade
pectators are often envious
of professional athletes. The
player has gotten to make a living
out of doing something they
love, and they’re also getting
way overpaid for it! However,
those athletes may now groan at
doing something they used to
love after downing their routine
sawdust-flavoured power shake
in the morning. This is what
we call intrinsic and extrinsic
motivation.
Intrinsic motivation occurs
naturally by doing something
simply because you love it and
are passionate about it, like
becoming a volunteer coach as
your way of giving back to the
community. When you are only
willing to do something while
compensated for it, you are
motivated by an external source,
such as money, and are therefore
extrinsically motivated since
there is something in it for you.
A problem occurs
once extrinsic and intrinsic
motivations cross paths. A
basketball player may sign on
with a team for all of the right
reasons: they love the sport, are
passionate about it, and have
potential. After long enough, if
their compensation is retracted,
they will likely no longer enjoy
their once-beloved sport. Or
at least, not nearly as much as
they once did. What they were
once motivated to do by passion
has been influenced externally
by money. It is difficult to find
something enjoyable once the
extrinsic motivation is gone.
Ever notice after a victory,
your uncle won't stop saying “We
won!” and “That was a great win
for us”? This is called BIRGing:
basking in reflected glory. A
fan will personally identify
themselves with a team of their
choice and hold themselves
personally responsible for the
team’s success. They associate
themselves with triumph
without having to do any of the
work, leaving them to bask in
their unearned glory. BIRGing
is an impression-management
technique personally designed
to protect one’s distended self-
esteem to counteract any threats
toward it. The downfall of the
- ae *
xk * a
K
ad A
ie
gin.
mechanism occurs once a person
realizes that they played little to
no role in their cherished team’s
victory.
Now, heaven forbid, your
uncle’s favourite team loses, it
turns into him saying “They
lost,” and “They did terribly last
night!” This is CORFing: cutting
off reflected failure. Suddenly
a dedicated fan doesn’t want to
be considered a part of a losing
team. They suddenly use words
like “they” instead of “we.”
Whether or not a person
participates in CORFing exposes
either a true ora fickle fan. Using
both BIRGing and CORFing,
a person’s behaviour over a
victory and/or failure may be
understood. A true fan will buy
all of the memorabilia and will
theotherpress.ca
wear the team jersey the day
after an embarrassing loss, or
even during a losing streak. A
CORFer may go as far as to deny
they watched any of their team’s
games.
When your voice starts to
give out in the final quarter, ask
exactly who are you cheering
for. If they lose, slightly or
exponentially, will it change
how you feel about your beloved
team? Will you quietly remove
that bumper sticker, or feel proud
when you see another person
with the same one? Whether
you're a team or fan club member,
adrenaline and score are not the
only things that matter, because
a sport always has been—and
always will be—more than just a
game.

A problem occurs
once extrinsic and intrinsic

they will likely no longer enjoy
their once-beloved sport. Or
at least, not nearly as much as

something enjoyable once the
extrinsic motivation is gone.

Now, heaven forbid, your

a dedicated fan doesn’t want to

Whether or not a person

ou, me, and everyone we
know lives in a world where
isa real, though often ignored,
place—but an upcoming local
play, Patch, is set to make us
notice in a thoughtfully trashy
way.
Patch is a one-act fantasy
play conceived, written, and
directed by Alyssa Kostello,
an award-winning Capilano
University graduate. Set in
2014, the play—which Kostello
says was inspired by the
Pacific Garbage Patch and
the effects that it’s having on
the albatross— explores the
culture shock that occurs when

Artistic treasure in other people's trash at ‘Patch’
» Explore humanity, monstrosity, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch

@theotherpress.ca
ou, me, and everyone we
know lives in a world where
isa real, though often ignored,
place—but an upcoming local
play, Patch, is set to make us
notice in a thoughtfully trashy
way.
Patch is a one-act fantasy
play conceived, written, and
directed by Alyssa Kostello,
an award-winning Capilano
University graduate. Set in
2014, the play—which Kostello
says was inspired by the
Pacific Garbage Patch and
the effects that it’s having on
the albatross— explores the
culture shock that occurs when
bird named Alby (played by
onto the Garbage Patch. There
she meets a plasticized 1950s
woman named Debra (played
7 £7
: by Nhi Do) and her creature
: made out of trash, Little Drew
: (played by Michelle Vine).
: Tensions grow as Alby yearns
: to return home to her ailing
: family, whilst Debra yearns for
: Alby to stay. After all, Debra has :
: been living with nothing and no :
the Great Pacific Garbage Patch one but garbage for 60 years.
Stories of family, longing,
: and loneliness are not new—
: but the setting of Patch is.
: Indeed, setting the story in
: humankind’s modern-day
: sludge of ecological shame isa
: bold choice, but Kostello asserts :
: that upon learning of the real-
: world Patch, the location itself
: was her entry into the story.
“I didn’t want to write a
play that was really preachy,
: telling people that garbage is
: bad and they should recycle or
: that sort of thing... I wanted to
: rm : have [the Great Pacific Garbage
a humanized albatross-inspired : Patch] asa setting for the play,

Heritage Life Drawing Society
will be on display in the latest
Amelia Douglas Gallery show,
Gestures. From August 8 to
September 5, the show features
a variety of works that showcase
the human form from seven
local artists: Judith Copland,
Dale Costanzo, Dorothy
Doherty, Ted Mason, Terry
: Rammell, and Gillian Wright.
Rammell describes
: Gestures as a way for viewers to
: explore the process that artists
: go through in creating a life
: drawing, including artwork
: in the show that varies from
: basic sketches to finished
: masterpieces.
: “We have all different levels, :
: all different mediums. People — :
: come from every walk of life to
: it with all different experiences.
: It’s kind of our little journey
: on the way to do something
: wonderful and exciting,” she
: told the Other Press.
Copland admits that life
: drawing can be more difficult
: than other art forms but also
: more rewarding.
“Figure work is one of
: the most challenging. I am
: exhausted after a three-hour
: session of seeing, thinking, and
: executing the poses,” she wrote
to the Other Press.
Nonetheless, “the world
: would bea less interesting place
: if we did not have the scores of
: portraits and figurative works
: to look back on. It shows usa
: bit more of ourselves,” wrote
: Copland, who has artwork in the
: show from her early watercolour :
: works in 1997 to her latest oil
: painting done this spring.
As part of the New West
: Cultural Crawl, Gestures will
: feature a live model on August
: g from a.m. to 2 p.m. for
: guests to try their hand at
: figure drawing. Art supplies
: are available for guests’ use,
: provided by Opus Framing and
: Art Supplies.
Join the artists for a free
: talk on the works featured in
: Gestures and the show’s closing
: reception on September 5 from
: 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Amelia
Douglas Gallery at the Douglas
: College New Westminster

The changing face of dating

Jen Markham

win fresh out of a near five-
year relationship, and let me
just say the dating world has
changed a lot since I was here
last.
Does anyone even try to
meet people in their daily lives,
or do you just set up your online
profile and hope for the best? It
seems optimistic in my opinion,
given the number of true gems
out there (not). I’ve come across
a few faux-pas already: posting
pictures with guns, snakes,
or upwards of five gorgeous
women, showing your abs in the
bathroom mirror, or some awful
combination of all of the above.
I’m tempted to “smile” at those
guys and have a heart-to-heart,
: just for their benefit. I’m told
: paying for sites eliminates most
: of the riff-raff, but maybe I’m
: cheap—or maybe I’m the riff-
: raff, I can’t speak to that yet.
I’ve also had the experience
: recently of redefining the term
: “third wheel.” At my friend’s
: 30th birthday I was honest to

: me and nine couples; and when
: it was time to find our seats,

pectators being passionate
about what they're watching
has always been a core element
of professional sports. Without
an audience, there would be no
point in the glory of competing
in the big games. Most athletes
enjoy the attention, both on and
off the field, whether it’s signing :
autographs, tossing a ball toa
fan, or even just reacting to the
most enthusiastic members
of the crowd. (Honestly, what
would be the point of watching
Canucks games ifnot for the
green men these days?)
But, as with all tasks that
require great energy and
concentration, distractions
can easily throw a player’s
mindset off. They’re there to
play their absolute hardest, and
that’s why they’ve practiced
for years and years and get
paid millions of dollars to do
so. What’s more important at
the end of the game—to have
played to the best of your ability
for the good of the team, or
to have given some attention
to one out of the thousands
of ticket holders that day?
Recently, two fans ran onto
the field during a soccer match
to take selfies with Manchester
: City’s Mario Balotelli. Although
: Balotelli wasn’t amused at first
: and the two were eventually
: escorted away by security, he
: posed happily for the photos,
: which then went viral online

: not guilty to third-degree

: The NFL gave Rice two games.

: important here is that Ray has
: taken responsibility for this.
: He’s been accountable for his
: actions. He recognizes he made
: a horrible mistake, that it is
: unacceptable by his standards
: and by our standards.”
For his part, Rice is saying
: all the right things: “I never
: planned on appealing any kind
: of punishment. Whether it
: was two games, four games,
: six games, eight games—I
: was going to own my actions
: and bea man about it and

Stop HIV & hep C now: The ABCs on Hepatitis
Andrea Arscott
Columnist
n light of World Hepatitis
Day, which was celebrated on
the July 28, it seems fitting to
spread awareness on hepatitis.
You may think you know a
lot about the illness—which
causes liver damage—but
depending on where you get
the information from, there’s a
good chance it’s been stretched
like a sticky piece of bubble
gum. Get your facts straight and :
: through blood, as well as
: semen, vaginal fluids, and
: other body fluids. The
: BCCDC recommends getting
: immunized as the vaccine is 95
: per cent effective in preventing
: hep B. Ask your doctor about
: getting the Twinrix shots,
: which are a series of three
: injections given over a period
chew on this instead.
First of all, there are many
forms of the hepatitis virus, but
the three most common ones
are A, B, and C. Most people
are immunized for hep A and
B, but there’s no immunization
for hep C. Hep A is transmitted
when people who have the
: virus use the washroom, don’t
: wash their hands properly, and
: prepare food for you to eat. So,
: just to be clear, it’s passed by
: faecal to oral routes (butt to
: mouth action). It may also be
: contracted through water, ice
: cubes, and shellfish that’s been:
: contaminated by sewage. This is :
: why we avoid consuming these
: substances while vacationing
: in places such as Mexico. It’s
: also the reason you should get
: immunized before heading
: overseas.

» The consequences of caffeine consumption
Jennafer Freeman,
The Western Gazette
LONDON (NUW) —Although :
many students rely on caffeine :
to help keep awake and alert,
they don’t always recognize the :
harm in caffeine consumption, :
or take into consideration the
alternatives that exist.
“Caffeine has been shown
to enhance performance,
improve concentration,
enhance alertness, and reduce
fatigue,” says Christine Dol,
registered nurse (RN)
Dol has worked as a RN
Practical Nursing program at
Fanshawe College.
Despite the positive
effects that caffeine has
been proven to produce, Dol
adds, “Caffeine also causes
dehydration, nervousness,
anxiety, insomnia, digestive
discomfort, and abnormal
heart rhythm in larger
quantities.”
Dol explains that caffeine
amounts vary in the many
different foods and beverages
found in our daily diets.
When it comes to comparing
coffee and energy drinks, Dol
explains that it’s not a matter
of which is better or worse,
it’s a matter of understanding
which drinks contain more
caffeine that others.
According to Lisa
who specializes in nutritional
development, the maximum
: of six months that prevent hep
: Aand B. If you can’t afford the
: vaccine, you may be eligible to
: receive it for free from the Youth :
: Clinic or the Adult Community
: Clinic at the Purpose Society in
: New West. If you’re planning
: a trip and youre getting all
your vaccinations from the
: Vancouver Travel Clinic,
: they ask that you book an
: appointment at least four to six
: weeks in advance of travelling.
Hepatitis C is a little more
serious because there’s no
: vaccine and treatment only
: acts as a cure for some people.
: Everyone reacts differently,
: and according to the Canadian
: Liver Foundation, hep C is
: the leading cause of liver
: transplants in Canada. The
: virus is transmitted through
: blood to blood contact. Taking
: this into consideration, spend a
? minute thinking about how you
: dosage of caffeine that is said
: to be safe for consumption is
: 400 mg per day. The effective
: dose used in most studies is
: roughly a cup of coffee, which
: is about 100 mg.
“For most people, if they
since 1983 and now teaches the inate more nam tina at aumy
: one time it can actually have
: a U-shaped curve,” Cianfrini
: says. “They will be jittery or
: can’t concentrate. So getting in :
: 100 mg ata time or about acup :
: of coffee is likely beneficial.”
: Energy drinks don’t havea :
: constant caffeine content, with :
: some containing up to 300 mg
: of caffeine or more, which is
: alot for one sitting. Energy
: drinks also usually contain a
: high amount of sugar as well
as many other additives.
“T often caution against
: using energy drinks because of :
: the high amounts of caffeine
: and sugar in them,” Cianfrini
: says. “One of the main :
: problems with energy drinks is :
: often times students use them
: with alcohol. We know that
there’s a lot of very negative
Cianfrini, a registered dietician : ae pian go ues
: with that, so I caution against
doing so.”
When it comes to sleep
: deprivation, Dol explains
: that as a stimulant, excessive
: caffeine can lead to irritability,
: nervousness, and loss of sleep.
: For her, the only way to remain
: alert throughout the night is
: to receive adequate rest.
“For certain, seven to
: eight hours of uninterrupted
: sleep is the healthiest way
to stay awake and alert the
following day,’ Dol says. “Sleep
: is restorative for the body and
: the mind.”
Cianfrini agrees that
caffeine can have a major effect
: ona student’s sleep cycle.
“For most people, having
: caffeine after 2 or 3 p.m. is
: going to really affect their
: sleep that night and their
: performance the next day,”
Cianfrini says. “It’s a bit of
: a vicious circle. Consuming
: good foods, making sure
: youre well-rested, and eating
well to make sure youre giving
: your brain the nutrients it
: needs to work properly is more
: important than relying on
caffeine.”

: activities could involve sharing
: someone else’s blood? Or, how
could you get someone’s blood
The most common ways
include sharing snorting

: sharing needles to inject

: common ways include
: sharing toothbrushes, razors,

: You can’t be sure of a person's

Now, let’s talk about sex.
You may think you can contract
: hep C from sex. The truth is
: the risk is low. Because hep C is

LONDON (NUW) —Although :
many students rely on caffeine :
to help keep awake and alert,
they don’t always recognize the :

or take into consideration the
alternatives that exist.
“Caffeine has been shown
to enhance performance,
improve concentration,
enhance alertness, and reduce
fatigue,” says Christine Dol,
registered nurse (RN)
Dol has worked as a RN
Practical Nursing program at
Fanshawe College.
Despite the positive
effects that caffeine has
been proven to produce, Dol
adds, “Caffeine also causes
dehydration, nervousness,
anxiety, insomnia, digestive
discomfort, and abnormal
heart rhythm in larger
quantities.”
Dol explains that caffeine
amounts vary in the many
different foods and beverages
found in our daily diets.
When it comes to comparing
coffee and energy drinks, Dol
explains that it’s not a matter
of which is better or worse,
it’s a matter of understanding
which drinks contain more
caffeine that others.

» TV adaptations stray
7 Cazzy Lewchuk
Staff Writer
oon" of the most popular TV :
shows today are adaptations
of well-known books: Game of
Thrones, The Walking Dead,
Pretty Little Liars, and even
Orange is the New Black. While
many people read the books—
especially after a show becomes
popular—the adaptations are
generally what people are more
familiar with. But adapting a
book series for TV has many
issues to deal with, such as
working with the author,
staying true to the source
material, and dealing with later
seasons before the book series is :
finished. Some shows handle it
tactfully, like Game of Thrones,
while others make up their own :
stories and characters, such as
Under the Dome.
Story changes are necessary :
when adapting, if for no reason
other than the show writers
have to write episodes before
the book series ends. Game
of Thrones is generally very
from source material
: faithful to the books, but in
: another two or three seasons
: the series will have caught up
: with the most current novel.
: The show is very popular and
: won't be cancelled any time
: soon, which means it will likely :
: have to start inventing itsown :
: plot lines and could jeopardize
: the ending if they kill offa
: character on the show only to
: find out the character wins the
throne in the final book.
In many cases, writers
: solve this continuity problem
: by disregarding many parts of
: the source material, such as
: getting rid of a novel’s ending
: to allow for more seasons in
: the TV adaptation. This is the
: case with the adaptations of
: Stephen King’s novels, The
: Dead Zone and Under The
: Dome. Characters who died in
: the novels were kept alive in
: the series to keep the TVshow — :
: going, characters were invented :
: to advance plots, and brand new :
: stories were developed once the :
: original source material ran out. :
: : explore different versions of the
: worlds they’ve come to love in

But how do the authors
feel about these changes to
: their stories? Game of Thrones
: author, George R.R Martin,

: of taking six years to publish
: a book in the series, so while
: the show’s team tries to work

: continuity, there is no way for

Get ready for Frosh 2014
» Douglas’ Frosh weekend is back for round three
Angela Espinoza
News Editor
Mi news
@theotherpress.ca
Fes weekend is returning
to Douglas for its third year
this September 4 and running
until September 6. Since Frosh’s
introduction by Campus Life in
2012, DougLife has continued
organizing and preparing each
Frosh to be bigger and better
than the last.
“Typically Frosh is meant
to provide a good opportunity
for new students to meet other
new students on campus,”
says Campus Life’s events,
communications, and marketing
coordinator Chris Raeside. “A
lot of [students are] in closed
programs, so they dontt get that
opportunity very often.
“If they're coming
from a completely different
atmosphere, it’s a great
opportunity for them to find
out about the campus and meet
other people and get to build the
relationships on campus that'll
make their time [at Douglas]
that much better moving
forward.”
Each Frosh offers a number
of indoor and outdoor events for
students to partake in. Students
are separated into different
; teams and proceed to compete
: against each other for various
: prizes—and for fun.
“We usually try for
physically challenging activities
: as well as mentally challenging:
: activities, just to try and diversify :
: between... [students’] different
: strengths. Typically it usually
: ends up being a little messy, fun,
: and all the activities focus on
: some sort of team bonding in
: one way or another.”
Raeside and DougLife’s
marketing and promotions
: assistant Aran Armutlu didn't
: want to reveal all their Frosh :
: surprise activities, but they were :
: happy to discuss some of their
: more annual events. One such
: activity will be volleyball, which
: Raeside suggests may have a
: “pros versus [average] joes”
: competition. Another one of
: their annual events is Jeopardy.
“Jeopardy’s a good [event]
: to have because it’s nice to take a
: little break from all the physical
: stuff that’s going on throughout
: all the day,” says Armutlu.
: “It’s that game where people’s
: specializations come out.”
“On the [Douglas Students’
: Union’s] end ... we usually doa
: big banner; the banner’s 10-feet
: by 4-feet tall,” says Raeside. “So
: every year the teams come in
: and one by one they actually
: draw and design and create their :
: ownart...on the banner. Bythe :
end we get a large banner that
: basically ... ends up being quite
: unique and artistic, with the
: Frosh logo in the [centre]
”
Another aspect of Frosh
: that Raeside and Armutlu were
: passionate about is how other
: Douglas campus groups get
: involved. “We bring a lot of
: different parts of the Douglas
: community together ... and
: [Frosh is] also good because
: then new students get to see all
: the things that Douglas gets to
: offer” says Armutlu.
“We've had all these
: different departments involved
: for the last three years ... we’ve
: worked with the DSU and the
: [Office for New Students],” says
: Raeside. “This year we're also
: bringing in the Learning Centre,
: so they’re going to run the
: Jeopardy—because we figured
: who better to run Jeopardy than
: them?”
As Douglas’ student body
: has grown each year, so has the
: number of Frosh attendees.
: “Every year we're seeing more
: registrations and more people
: coming out,” says Raeside.
In addition to Frosh
: attendees, Raeside stated that
: each year more students sign
: up to volunteer—either as new

: students or returning for team
: leader positions.
“General volunteers ...
: typically participate in any
: number of ways, but they’re
: basically helping making sure
: the event ... goes smoothly.
: [Frosh] is a very intensive thing
: to put on so all the help we get
: from them is much appreciated.
“Team leaders are,
: not always, but a lot of the
: time they’re students who
: participated in the past ... but
: the great thing about the team
: leaders is it gives them an
: Opportunity to fine tune and
: hone... [their] leadership skills.
“[Team leaders] need to
believe in what we do, and
: that’s obviously that there are
: Opportunities outside of the
: classroom to meet other people,
: to learn about what [those
: opportunities] have to offer, and
: to learn about themselves.’

Get ready for Frosh 2014
» Douglas’ Frosh weekend is back for round three

@theotherpress.ca
Fes weekend is returning
to Douglas for its third year
this September 4 and running
until September 6. Since Frosh’s
introduction by Campus Life in
2012, DougLife has continued
organizing and preparing each
Frosh to be bigger and better
than the last.
“Typically Frosh is meant
to provide a good opportunity
for new students to meet other
new students on campus,”
says Campus Life’s events,
communications, and marketing
coordinator Chris Raeside. “A
lot of [students are] in closed
programs, so they dontt get that
opportunity very often.
“If they're coming
from a completely different
atmosphere, it’s a great
opportunity for them to find
out about the campus and meet
other people and get to build the
relationships on campus that'll
make their time [at Douglas]
that much better moving
forward.”
Each Frosh offers a number
of indoor and outdoor events for
students to partake in. Students
are separated into different
; teams and proceed to compete
: against each other for various
: prizes—and for fun.
“We usually try for
physically challenging activities
: as well as mentally challenging:
: activities, just to try and diversify :
: between... [students’] different
: strengths. Typically it usually
: ends up being a little messy, fun,
: and all the activities focus on
: some sort of team bonding in
: one way or another.”
Raeside and DougLife’s
marketing and promotions
: assistant Aran Armutlu didn't
: want to reveal all their Frosh :
: surprise activities, but they were :
: happy to discuss some of their
: more annual events. One such
: activity will be volleyball, which
: Raeside suggests may have a
: “pros versus [average] joes”
: competition. Another one of
: their annual events is Jeopardy.
“Jeopardy’s a good [event]
: to have because it’s nice to take a
: little break from all the physical
: stuff that’s going on throughout
: all the day,” says Armutlu.
: “It’s that game where people’s
: specializations come out.”
“On the [Douglas Students’
: Union’s] end ... we usually doa
: big banner; the banner’s 10-feet
: by 4-feet tall,” says Raeside. “So
: every year the teams come in
: and one by one they actually
: draw and design and create their :
: ownart...on the banner. Bythe :
end we get a large banner that
: basically ... ends up being quite
: unique and artistic, with the
: Frosh logo in the [centre]
”
Another aspect of Frosh
: that Raeside and Armutlu were
: passionate about is how other
: Douglas campus groups get
: involved. “We bring a lot of
: different parts of the Douglas
: community together ... and
: [Frosh is] also good because
: then new students get to see all
: the things that Douglas gets to
: offer” says Armutlu.
“We've had all these
: different departments involved
: for the last three years ... we’ve
: worked with the DSU and the
: [Office for New Students],” says
: Raeside. “This year we're also
: bringing in the Learning Centre,
: so they’re going to run the
: Jeopardy—because we figured
: who better to run Jeopardy than
: them?”
As Douglas’ student body
: has grown each year, so has the
: number of Frosh attendees.
: “Every year we're seeing more
: registrations and more people
: coming out,” says Raeside.
In addition to Frosh
: attendees, Raeside stated that
: each year more students sign
: up to volunteer—either as new

: students or returning for team
: leader positions.
“General volunteers ...
: typically participate in any
: number of ways, but they’re
: basically helping making sure
: the event ... goes smoothly.
: [Frosh] is a very intensive thing
: to put on so all the help we get

Least 1n the East
» Takeaways from the first weeks of the CFL
Eric Wilkins
Sports Editor
MA sports
_ @theotherpress.ca
Fe’ professional leagues
in the world are quite as
unpredictable as the CFL.
Teams’ fortunes can change in
the blink of an eye due to the
dynamic nature of the most
exciting brand of American
football. Grey Cup finalists can
become cellar dwellers in less
to bail on a throw over the mid-
dle. The first five weeks of the
season have managed to live up
to the usual random standards.
Anytime an organiza-
tion loses a sure-fire Hall of
Famer like Anthony Calvillo,
there are bound to be some
struggles, but the immediate
tumble down the ladder that
the Montreal Alouettes have
suffered still comes as some
surprise. As of this writing, the
Alouettes are sitting at 1-4, are
tied for last spot in the league
with Hamilton, and are riding
a three-game losing skid. Troy
Smith, a former Heisman
Trophy winner, has been
anything but competent at the
controls of the league’s worst
offence, which is averaging a
measly 292 yards per game with
only 142.4 of those coming from
their pivots. To make matters
: worse, the defence hasn’t fared
much better, allowing a mon-
: strous 382.3 yards per game.
If it’s any consolation to
the Alouettes, they’re not the
: only eastern squad who're :
: suffering. The combined record :
: of the East Division is 5-16, led
: bythe2-4Argosandtheonly :

LM: Johnny has a dream:

thumb-twiddler. Johnny isn't
one to just sit on his hands
though, he has the desire and
the talent to make his dream
come true. And so, Johnny
trains hard and commits to
achieving all that he’s ever
wanted. When the day finally
comes that a thumb-twiddling
troupe decides to take a chance
on him and offers Johnny a
three-year contract, he doesn’t
hesitate. He puts pen to paper
and signs his name instantly,
over the moon to even get an
opportunity. But as the years
go by and Johnny realizes he’s
very good at thumb-twiddling,
he grows dissatisfied with his
deal. When he asks for more
: money, the troupe informs him
: that he signed a contract and
: they can talk about a new deal
: when the current one expires.
: Pouty and annoyed, Johnny tells :
: them that he won't bea part of
: the troupe until they show him
: the money. He then sits out and, :
: well, twiddles his thumbs.
A holdout is one of the more

Fe’ professional leagues
in the world are quite as
unpredictable as the CFL.
Teams’ fortunes can change in
the blink of an eye due to the
dynamic nature of the most
exciting brand of American
football. Grey Cup finalists can
become cellar dwellers in less
to bail on a throw over the mid-
dle. The first five weeks of the
season have managed to live up
to the usual random standards.
Anytime an organiza-
tion loses a sure-fire Hall of
Famer like Anthony Calvillo,
there are bound to be some
struggles, but the immediate
tumble down the ladder that
the Montreal Alouettes have
suffered still comes as some
surprise. As of this writing, the
Alouettes are sitting at 1-4, are
tied for last spot in the league
with Hamilton, and are riding
a three-game losing skid. Troy
Smith, a former Heisman
Trophy winner, has been
anything but competent at the
controls of the league’s worst
offence, which is averaging a
measly 292 yards per game with
only 142.4 of those coming from
their pivots. To make matters

Bard on the Beach's production of ‘The Tempest*
By Brittney MacDonald, Senior Columnist
ard on the Beach has been in full swing since early July, entertaining
countless Vancouverites and visitors. This season's lineup includes
the Shakespearean classic, The Tempest, but audience members
familiar with the play might notice something a tad different about
the cast of characters. Tempest director, Meg Roe has chosen to reinterpret two
of the male characters as female, turning the comedic Stephano and Trinculo
into sisters, Stephana and Trincula. While the change might seem minor,
especially since it does not concern any of the major roles, is has altered the
power dynamics found in the original text—though whether this might be good
or bad is a matter of opinion.
In the original text, the male duo are drunks who serve as comedic relief
between scenes of Prospero masterminding his return to Naples from his exile
on an unnamed island. They meet Caliban, a hideous monster of a man who
Prospero keeps as a slave. Exploiting Caliban’s knowledge of the island and his
hatred of his master, Stephano devises a plan to kill Prospero, take over the
island, and marry Prospero’s beautiful daughter, Miranda, promising Trinculo
and Caliban that they will be his seconds-in-command. Ultimately their
_ foolishness and greed are their downfall, as Prospero devises a trap baited with
riches and fine clothes, and all three are captured.
Roe’ es not differ much from the original text, though naturally
somea ad to be made. Stephana is not motivated to make Miranda
her queen, but is still drunk through most of the narrative, and does still want
to kill Prospero to take over the island with the help of her sister, Trincula, and
Caliban. Their capture also remains the same.
What is different is how the pair interacts with the majority of the other
characters. Originally, Stephano and Trinculo are the king’s butler and servant.
In Roe’s version Stephana is the king’s brother’s mistress, and Trincula is her
sister. This change is not large, and is barely mentioned in the production; but as
Sebastian, the King of Naples’ brother, momentarily contemplates regicide, the
fact he has a mistress just makes him seem all the more evil, when in the original
text he appears more of a gullible idiot.
Of greater significance are the changes to Stephana and Trincula’s
interactions with Caliban. As I mentioned before, in the original text it seems
that the pair are exploiting Caliban by getting him drunk and then promising
to kill his much-hated master, Prospero. In Roe’s version the physical comedy
of the threesome takes on far more sexual connotations, as Stephana develops a
foot-licking fetish and Trincula becomes jealous of all the pleasurable attention
her sister receives from Caliban.
Caliban is not costumed as deformed or monstrous in any way, and caresses
and licks Stephana’s legs and feet whenever they talk about her possibly taking
over the island. This gives the illusion that he is coaxing her into killing his
master, giving Caliban a level of agency that is absent in the original text. In the

original text, Caliban is always under someone's control, whether Prospero’s
through fear, or Stephano’s through his manipulation with alcohol; in Roe’s
version, Caliban seems to initiate, execute, and control his own actions.
Tempest is seen as being colonial literature, with Caliban being the savage
native who the Caucasian Prospero attempts to civilize, yet fails to because of
Caliban’s “nature.” As a result, giving agency to Caliban is not necessarily bad.
Conversely, there is also the issue that through his use of sexual manipulation,
he is portrayed as a sexual deviant, which gives more sympathy to Prospero, as
he is betrayed by his clearly disturbed (and now drunk) servant. However, in the
original text, the crime that resulted in Caliban’s enslavement to Prospero was
Caliban’s attempted rape of Prospero’s daughter, Miranda. So really, how much
more of a sexual deviant can Roe make him?
Of course there is also the possibility that someone might not see all of this
as giving agency to Caliban at all; that Caliban is simply acting on hedonistic
instincts—in other words, that he is just a horny drunk. This is also damaging
because there is the danger of playing up his bestiality, exactly the issue in the
original text, and making the island’s “native” even more backwards compared to
the “civilized” Prospero.
Or maybe it’s just funny...
The Tempest has also been criticized for its lack of any strong female
characters. True, it does have two female characters, Miranda, and Ariel. Ariel
is Prospero’s servant spirit who helps enact the majority of his machinations.
Technically Ariel is supposedly male in the original text, but his gender is fluid
and changes with whatever form he takes.
Yet even with these comparatively strong female characters, Ariel is still a
slave to Prospero, and Miranda is basically the equivalent of a vanilla pudding
cup as far as character development is concerned. Translation: she’s sweet, but
devoid of any real depth.
Roe adjusts the narrative to accommodate two additional female characters
who despite their faults act autonomously, making their own decisions however
impaired they might be; Roe’s interpretation could be incredibly progressive.
Additionally, the two characters Roe swapped tend to be popular with the
audience for their comedy, which could be a step in the right, feminist direction.
What might draw us back a bit is if we remember that these two characters, the
comedic relief, the fools of the play... are now women. Not exactly the best way of
representing females—but hey, at least they are fully developed! Wholly unlike
what we get in the original text where the substantial cast of characters includes
a whopping two female characters.
Now onto some far graver issues: one of the scenes most affected by the
gender swap is when Trincula first encounters Caliban. In the original text,
Trinculo finds Caliban hiding under a blanket after the sounds Trinculo had
made as he traversed the island scared Caliban into thinking that Prospero
had sent spirits to torment him. Trinculo sees the deformed Caliban under the
blanket and mistakes him for some sort of odd, lumpy fish. He gropes and prods
Caliban, attempting to discern what he is, and only after blatantly grabbing and
commenting on Caliban’s “package” (which he apparently finds impressive)
does he accept Caliban is a human man, or at least something close to one.
They are interrupted when yelling comes from the distance and, fearing that
it isa storm, Trinculo crawls under the blanket with Caliban. The yelling turns
out to be a drunk Stephano, stumbling in and seeing the two figures under the
—a. "ae
ai i
SS ee
mei”
blanket moaning and crying out. The entire scene is comical as well as being
homoerotic. Now would be when I describe the changes Roe made—if she had
made any.
No changes were made to the scene beyond the sex of Trinculo and
Stephano, so it is almost exactly the same as it is in the original text. How then is
the scene affected?
By having a previously homoerotic scene now be between a heterosexual
couple, the reinterpretation is in danger of propagating heteronormativity.
Heteronormativity is the belief that heterosexuality is the only sexual
orientation that is normal, and that any sexual or romantic relationships should
be between a man and a woman. In an age where gay rights are in such dire
straits, promoting this kind of thing is not exactly positive.
Alternatively, a scene that previously made a joke out of the concept of gay
sex, now does not.
All of this controversy over how the sex changes could be interpreted makes
me question whether the changes were worth making at all. Let us not forget
that The Tempest is a classic for a reason. In the end, how the production is
interpreted—whether Meg Roe’s alterations were offensive or empowering—is
all dependant on the sensibilities of the audience. Even without Meg Roe, the
original play has been criticized for being both racist and sexist. Personally I
enjoyed the reinterpretation of Stephana and Trincula, and would recommend
seeing the play for yourself before making any concrete decisions on whether or
not to get out the torches and pitchforks.

Douglas Students’ Union reduces size of its Pride Center
» Douglas Pride Community members react negatively to decision

n July 7, the Douglas
Students’ Union (DSU)
Building (SUB) committee
approved a decision to reduce
the size of the DSU Pride
Centre. Since then, a wall
has been erected, cutting the
centre’s space down to half its
original size. While the new
space is intended for clubs and
other student-related activity,
members of Douglas’ Pride
Community are now outraged
at how the decision was
handled.
“They didn’t ask us
directly until after ... they’d
made the decision,” said Pride
Community member Brandon
Eyre.
“On July 18, Greg Teuling
[member-at-large for the DSU]
approached us over Facebook
saying there was [going to be]
a meeting without telling us
what they wanted. On July 23
one was able to attend. Later
: that day we were notified on :
: Facebook by Nicole [Landingin- :
: Dougall] what [they] wanted
: to tell us. They then told us ...
: [that the decision had been
: finalized], and then the week
: after that they built the wall. It’s :
: up now; you can actually be in
along with the Students’ Union ; both spaces.”
On the DSU Pride Centre
Facebook page, a post was made :
: on July 23 by Teuling stating:
“On Monday June 23 it was
: recommended by the Building
: and Services SUB Committee
: that due to increased demands
: onspace in the SUB, room 206,
: commonly referred to as the
: pride room, be split in half to
: provide more room for all clubs :
: and students in the SUB.”
: Teuling’s post further stated :
: that no specific club will be
: taking over the space, but rather :
: clubs and students can book the :
: room for their usage.
Eyre also stated that the
: decision was apparently based
: ona lack of members in the
: Pride Community, which is
: a factor normally applied to
: clubs.
“It’s kind of funny because
they held the meeting, [but] no ... the Pride Community isn’t
: aclub,” said Eyre. “We're not
: required to have a membership. :
“Tt used to be called the
‘Pride Collective? which makes
: more sense for what the Pride
: Community is. The idea of it
: was to have a safe space for
: LGBTQ+ students, as well as
[providing] a group of people
: that those students could hang
: out with and rely on.
“We have a permanent
space, a safe space for us,
: [but] from what I understand,
: one of the issues ... was the
: DSU felt that there was a lack
: of membership in the Pride
: Community, and lack of use
: of the pride space ... which
: is even funnier because our
: ‘membership’ fluctuates quite
substantially. Just a year-and-a- :
: half ago we actually had quite
a large membership, and then
: in the summer now—every
summer it goes down... it'll
be interesting to see what the
: numbers look like in the fall.
“We're not a club, so
: we shouldn't be based off
: of membership numbers,
: especially because even in the
: LGBTQ+ community there’s
: some people who don’t want
: to be actual members per se of
: the Pride Community because
: ... they’re not wanting to be
outted. Numbers don’t work
: well with it at all, so ... to base
: the decision on that was ill-
: informed I would say. But I
guess that’s what happens when
: you don’t talk to us.”
Community will be fighting
: against the decision, which the
: community intends to be vocal
: about.
that are mad ... basically
: because they actually use this
: space frequently. We had one
: member who actually wasn't
: attending Douglas, and this
: member proceeded to take
: classes again at Douglas so he
: could basically fight this.
[and we have] a number of :
: members that will be marching :
: in the pride parade highlighting :
: ... that the DSU did this. We will :
: be talking with students as well, :
: just trying to ... have people
: understand [the situation].
: Another [Pride Community] :
: member mentioned that we will :
: be trying to build a way for the
: DSU as well as the pride liaison :
: to work with us in the future to
: ‘consensus build’ instead ofa
: top-down approach.”
Eyre added that the Pride
“We have a lot of people
“We have a petition online,
When asked about the
changes to the Pride Cenre,
Tim Rattel, the DSU’s executive
: director told the Other Press:
“In my reading of the
petition, it is not asking for
; the return of the room, just
: rallying people to maintain the
: ‘safe space’ currently available.
: I think this is tremendously
: exciting: this kind of advocacy
: and membership outreach has
: been disappointingly absent in
: the last [five] years that I have
: been at the DSU.
“The DSU Pride Facebook
group does not represent
: the actual membership of
: Pride on campus as most
: of the individuals are allies,
: friends, or former students.
: Pride at the New Westminster
: Campus has consistently had
an annual active membership
(as currently) of [six to seven]
students who attended the
meetings. On a daily basis no
: more than one or two people
: used the room: the same one or
: two people.”
In addition to the
: statement, Rattel stressed
that many additional and even
: larger student groups and
: collectives on campus have
: been struggling to find their
: own unique spaces.

Douglas Students’ Union reduces size of its Pride Center
» Douglas Pride Community members react negatively to decision

n July 7, the Douglas
Students’ Union (DSU)
Building (SUB) committee
approved a decision to reduce
the size of the DSU Pride
Centre. Since then, a wall
has been erected, cutting the
centre’s space down to half its
original size. While the new
space is intended for clubs and
other student-related activity,
members of Douglas’ Pride
Community are now outraged
at how the decision was
handled.
“They didn’t ask us
directly until after ... they’d
made the decision,” said Pride
Community member Brandon
Eyre.
“On July 18, Greg Teuling
[member-at-large for the DSU]
approached us over Facebook
saying there was [going to be]
a meeting without telling us
what they wanted. On July 23
one was able to attend. Later
: that day we were notified on :
: Facebook by Nicole [Landingin- :
: Dougall] what [they] wanted
: to tell us. They then told us ...
: [that the decision had been
: finalized], and then the week
: after that they built the wall. It’s :
: up now; you can actually be in
along with the Students’ Union ; both spaces.”
On the DSU Pride Centre
Facebook page, a post was made :
: on July 23 by Teuling stating:
“On Monday June 23 it was
: recommended by the Building
: and Services SUB Committee
: that due to increased demands
: onspace in the SUB, room 206,
: commonly referred to as the
: pride room, be split in half to
: provide more room for all clubs :
: and students in the SUB.”
: Teuling’s post further stated :
: that no specific club will be
: taking over the space, but rather :
: clubs and students can book the :
: room for their usage.
Eyre also stated that the
: decision was apparently based
: ona lack of members in the
: Pride Community, which is
: a factor normally applied to
: clubs.
“It’s kind of funny because
they held the meeting, [but] no ... the Pride Community isn’t
: aclub,” said Eyre. “We're not
: required to have a membership. :
“Tt used to be called the
‘Pride Collective? which makes
