Like most great university stories, it

started with a kegger.
Daniel Woods, former West-
ern and current Fanshawe stu-
dent, invited 200 people over for
a party. The night ended with him
receiving a $1,250 ticket for a noise
complaint.
We could have been charged
for alcohol-related things but all we
got were noise bylaw violations, he
explained. Police told Woods they
had received a noise complaint but
Woods noted there were also sev-
eral partygoers on his front lawn
who likely attracted attention.
Project Liquor Enforcement
and Reduction in NoiseLEARN
places London Police offcers in
student areas to crack down on li-
quor and noise related violations,
such as Woods.
Project LEARN is really a mech-
anism for teachingteaching them
that were not going to tolerate
rowdy behaviour, Dennis Rivest,
media relations offcer for the Lon-
don Police, explained.
The Project, initially titled Proj-
ect Speakeasy, started in 2006.
[The problem] kept building
and building and building and this
was a way to address the issue,
Rivest explained.
Ward six councillor Nancy
Branscombe noted tensions be-
tween permanent residents and
students had reached an all time
high.
There were abrasive relations
between students and permanent
residents, she said.
In 2008, the initiative was re-
named Project LEARN.
[Project] Speakeasy obvi-
ously didnt have a good name and
the University Students Council
pushed to change the name, Pat-
rick Searle, vice-president univer-
sity affairs for the USC, explained.
Glenn Matthews, housing medi-
ation offcer, noted there were sev-
eral common problems between
students and residents.
Probably the biggest one is
noise, and probably second close
behind it is garbage, he explained.
Sometimes its a party, sometimes
its people who are sitting out on
their porch at two or three in the
morning.
Branscombe noted the crack-
down has been working. Weve
moved the bar quite a bit, in a posi-
tive way.
Rivest felt the numbers spoke for
themselves. In the frst two weeks
of the project last year, 474 provin-
cial offence tickets were handed
out, along with eight criminal code
charges. In the same two weeks this
year, 330 provincial offences tickets
were handed out with 14 criminal
code charges.
During the course of Project
LEARN, yes, if you are loud, if you
are drunk, if you are breaking one
of the provincial statutes, crimi-
nal statutes, youre going to be
charged, Rivest noted. Provincial

Crossword By Eugene sheffer
The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think
that X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words and words
using an apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error.

Dont stop
fundraisin
The United Way of London-Mid-
dlesex is not letting Londons suf-
fering economy stand in the way of
its fundraising goals.
The organization announced
Wednesday they plan to raise $8.5
million this year, despite London
still struggling with an 8.9 per cent
unemployment rate, among the
highest of any large city in Canada.
Their goal is a $500,000 increase
from last year, leaving many to
wonder how United Way can hope
to reach their goal. This is especially
true, considering the recent closing
of the Ford assembly plant in St.
Thomas, leaving another 1,000 out
of a job.
We feel really strongly that
[people] in our community need to
support [each other], whether it be
workers of Ford or other individu-
als who are in need in our com-
munity, Kelly Ziegner, director of
communications for United Way,
said.
Its important that people who
can give and are in a position to give
step up and dont step back from
the issue, Ziegner continued.
The organization plans to
achieve its goal through cam-
paigns by, among others, West-
ern and TD Financial Group. The
organization also has donors who
are willing to match any dona-
tions of $1,000 or more.

Professor meets the
Dalai Lama
Adrian Owen, a Western researcher
and one of the worlds most promi-
nent neuroscientists, can add one
more accolade to his already deco-
rated resume a meeting with the
Dalai Lama.
Dr. Adrian Owen was asked to
join a panel discussion with the
Dalai Lama and a small group of
neuroscientists to discuss their re-
search, Dawn Pavich, administra-
tive assistant to Owen, said.
This discussion will be taking
place in Sao Paulo, Brazil today at
the States of Consciousness: Ancient
Knowledge meets Modern Neuro-
science conference. The Dalai Lama
is visiting Brazil this week and part of
his visit includes the conference.
Some of Owens brain research
has involved patients who are in
vegetative states. According to
Western News, the Dalai Lama is
particularly interested in the eth-
ics of scientifc research so Owen
anticipates this will be the focus of
their discussions.

Wheres the
Westernizer?
The co-star of the bus pass was no-
toriously absent this year, when the
Westernizer failed to be delivered
to students.
Eliot Hong, communications
offcer for the University Students
Council, stated the delay was be-
cause of two problems.
There was a delay in the pro-
duction process, where corrections
were being sent back and forth
from us to the printers, and it got
to the point where by the time we
submitted our fnal copy, the print-
ers were unable to print on sched-
ule as planned.
The second reason, he said, was
because the printersbeing un-
able to increase the rate of their
bindery processresulted in the
delay of the Westernizers being
printed and delivered to campus.
However, Westernizers will be
available for pickup in the Student
Lounge in the University Com-
munity Centre during Clubs Week,
September 19-23.
Students are required to bring
their student card in order to pick
up the planner.
19,000 will be in print, and if
there any available after Clubs
Week the Westernizers will be made
available at Infosource in the UCC.

Students strip
for cash
Forget everything you know about
strippers. A new trend shows more
students are joining the world of
adult entertainment.
In fact, industry offcials esti-
mate close to 50 per cent of a typi-
cal nights workforce is comprised
of students who strip in an effort to
afford higher education.
According to Tim Lambrinos
of the Adult Entertainment As-
sociation of Canada, out of 1,500
registered dancers, nearly 500 are
students who hail from the Univer-
sity of Toronto, Ryerson and York
University.
Lambrinos pointed to the 2006
ban on imported foreign dancers
as a motivating force behind this
surge of educated workers.
The word exotic means foreign.
Exotic dancers were originally for-
eign. Since the ban, there is a de-
mand for foreign workers that is
just not being satisfed. This is why
the number of student entertain-
ers has doubled in the past three
years.
Besides the effects of the ban,
Lambrinos also noted the industry
attracts many student workers be-
cause of its convenience.
Usually clubs hire only a hand-
ful of workers and so freelance
work is ideal for students with hec-
tic schedules as the dancers have
better control over their hours.
When asked what this says about
the rising cost of post-secondary
education, Patrick Searle, vice-
president university affairs for the
University Students Council, noted
although tuition costs may be high
and student summer employment
low, there are many on-campus
employment opportunities and
work-placement programs.

WE WERE PICKETING BEFORE IT WAS COOL. The Ontario Public Service
Employees Union strike has caused Elections Ontario to move October 6 polls
off of college campuses across the province. The 27 polls will be relocated to off-
campus locations.
Colleges polls
pulled due to strike
Amber Garratt
ManaGinG editor
If students are the future of the
world, why is Elections Ontario
making it harder for them to have
their voices heard? Last Friday,
Elections Ontario announced they
will be moving 27 college campus
polls for the October 6 election due
to the Ontario Public Service Em-
ployees Union strike.
The decision was made due
to the recent labour issues at the
colleges because we are uncertain
about access to college facilities. We
made the decision to ensure the se-
crecy and integrity of the electoral
process, Alicia Fowlie, communi-
cations coordinator for Elections
Ontario, said. We are currently
working to transfer the polls that
are supposed to be on campuses
to alternative sites in the electoral
district.
The decision to pull polls was
made without discussion with
representatives from the affected
colleges.
This is a huge concern. Ev-
eryone always talks about getting
youth to vote and then they do
this, Veronica Barahona, president
of the Fanshawe Student Union,
explained. We are just trying to put
a contingency plan in place [...] We
are going to do what we can to get a
number of students to polling sta-
tions near Fanshawe.
Barahona explained there has
been discussion of busing students
to polling stations and promoting
the special ballot option.
Luckily, the University of West-
ern Ontario Faculty and Associ-
ationLibrarians and Archivists
strike will not affect election polls
on Westerns campus.
The UWOFA-LA strike has
not been addressed by Elections
Ontario but doesnt seem to be a
concern.
What Im getting from the Uni-
versity and from UWOFA-LA is that
it shouldnt be an issue because
we are not OPSEU, Patrick Searle,
vice-president administration for
Ontario Undergraduate Student Al-
liance and vice-president university
affairs for the University Students
Council at Western, said. Because
we heard about the colleges and
not the universities, and in [the let-
ter we received] it says the univer-
sities will not be touched and they
will remain where they are, I dont
think Western students should be
concerned.
The decision to pull college
campus polls has students and ad-
ministrators confused.
Im not sure why they made the
decision not to pull them off our
campus. If Elections Ontario thinks
college students are less valuable
than university students, that is a
big issue. But I dont know if that is
what theyre thinking, Searle said.
Im an advocate for a poll in every
place, so that every person has no
excuse to say they havent voted.
I think we gave college students
an unfortunate easy byenow
its harder for them to go out and
vote.
Amendments were made in May
2010 to allow for students to choose
which electoral district they would
prefer to vote in.
They can choose to vote in their
home electoral district where they
permanently reside or in the elec-
toral district where they live and go
to school. So for some students, if
they prefer to vote in their home
riding, they can opt to vote by mail
so they dont have to return home
in the election period, Fowlie said.
But without the accessibility
of polls on college campuses, the
youth vote doesnt look promising.
There is not a light to look for-
ward to at the end of the tunnel,
Searle said. Even if the strike was
to end for OPSEU right now they
wouldnt have a poll back in their
campus. Those students are still
out of luck.
Project targets students
offences include being drunk in
public, underage drinking, tres-
passing and open liquor. Noise of-
fences are under the City of Lon-
dons bylaws.
Woods took issue with the way
charges were handed out.
When it seems like police are
forced to lay charges and dont have
any fexibility based on the situa-
tion at hand, it makes the students
feel like theyre being targeted by a
system, Woods said. He added the
zero-tolerance policy made some
students feel like they were a prob-
lem population, rather than a series
of individuals being charged.
Its a program that does focus
on young people, but what we have
tried to get the police to do is to get
away from their student message,
and get towards more of the down-
town partygoers and loud people
in the neighbourhoods, Searle
echoed.
Its a program that a lot of stu-
dents and us dont like because it
has zero-tolerance overall to any
form of liquor or reduction of noise
issue, Searle explained. He hopes
to see London Police issue more
warnings and have a stronger focus
on education.
Matthews noted some of the
problems were caused by the high
turnover of students.
We have new people off cam-
pus every year, so there is a cycle of
educating people, he said.
Students in residences were
given presentations in January
about searching for houses and a
brief course in local bylaws. Mat-
thews also explained when the of-
fce was informed of issues between
students and residents, there were
two courses of action.
If its a general concern we will
blanket an area with a letter or we
will knock on doors. Sometimes,
if its a specifc area we will go and
talk [...] and explain the concern,
he explained.
Rivest felt behavior in student
populated areas warranted the ac-
tions of police.
If its the students that are hav-
ing the loud parties, then thats
where I need to goyouve got to
send your resources to where the
trouble is. He added that 86 of the
charges laid this year had been di-
rected at non-students.
The rule is not just applied to
students, it applies to any indi-
vidual, Rivest said. He explained
if there were more charges directed
at non-students than students the
focus of the program would change
to refect that. He noted that even
when it was Project LEARNs off
season, London Police still took a
zero-tolerance approach to liquor
and noise violations.
According to Rivest, even though
the projects future was unclear, the
zero-tolerance approach should be
maintained. The project may disap-
pear at some point, but the enforce-
ment will still be there, he said.
Searle hopes to see a gentler ap-
proach to integrating students into
neighbourhoods. Rather than a
crackdown, he hopes to see more
residents and businesses embrace
students. It needs to be not the
frst things students see when they
move into their neighbourhood, he
explained. The City should also be
investing in measures to welcome
back students in a positive way.

Project LEARN is an effort by London Police to enforce
liquor and noise bylaws. These crackdowns generally
occur in high-concentration areas of student living,
including Richmond Row, Broughdale Street and
Flemming Drive by Fanshawe College.
Surprise surprise, a university city has students
and with students come liquor and noise. Enter
Project LEARN: Liquor enforcement and reduction of
noise.
Project LEARN is an effort by London Police to quell
out-of-control gatherings which may be disturbing
the neighbours who would prefer to keep quietly to
themselves. The police offcers taking part in project
LEARN will be focusing on the Fanshawe College,
Western and Richmond Row areas.
On the surface, an attempt to make the
neighbourhood quiet and livable is a nice idea. But a
special project that mainly targets areas populated by
students raises a few questions.
Students, for the most part, are probably pretty
oblivious to the City of Londons bylaws. Its easy to
abuse the long arm of the law when the targets dont
actually know what the laws are. If students arent
sure what is illegal, then any excuse to break up a
party almost becomes legitimate.
Project LEARN seems to take preying on student
ignorance to the next level. They seem to patrol the
streets of the student ghetto and Richmond Row,
just waiting for an excuse to arrest someone. When
the police are patrolling every students favourite
haunt, that someone who is getting arrested is most
likely going to be a student. And when one considers
that the student ghettos are not as crazy and loud as
the stereotypes would have you believe, the existence
of Project LEARN must be called into question.
The benefts of the Project are also obvious. With
law enforcement stalking the streets, the obnoxiously
drunk, steroid riddled chumps who seem to start fghts
for fun are going to be kept in check pretty quickly.
But do the benefts outweigh the detriments?
Its no secret that there is a bit of tension between
the real residents of London and the students.
At the same time, London is striving to retain their
continuous stream of graduates who seem to drain
out of the city. Do student-targeted laws really
encourage us to stick around?
Overall, Project LEARN does come with its
beneftsbut these benefts are similar to what
arises from regular police work. Even though the
Project doesnt openly state that its here to treat
students badly, when we feel like were criminals just
for wanting to live near the school, what else are we
supposed to think?

NEWS FEATURES EDiTOR
Canadians can soon take comfort in the
fact that Bad Boy will be uttering No-
bodyyyy just a little bit softer.
The Canadian Radio-television and
Telecommunications Commission an-
nounced this week that broadcasters
have one year to dial down the vol-
ume on their commercials, equaliz-
ing the volume for programming and
advertisements.
The feat came after 7,000 Canadi-
ans expressed their belief to the CRTC
that television advertisements were
simply too loud, harming their fragile
eardrums.
While Id thank the CRTC for saving
me the physical exertion of having to
pick up my remote every ten minutes
and laboriously hitting the mute but-
ton, the reality is, Im still going to do
that. Making commercials a few deci-
bels quieter doesnt translate into ad-
vertising being tolerable and making
me feel that everything is right with the
capitalist world.
And do we really need the CRTC to
turn down our television sets for us?
Have 7,000 Canadians really not yet dis-
covered the mute button or realized that
commercials make the perfect bath-
room breaks? Im willing to bet this rul-
ing will become even more irrelevant as
more and more people invest in PVRs to
skip over commercials in their entirety.
The effort to muffe televisions most
annoying jingles seems to be little more
than busy work for the CRTC. Public
space has already been completely con-
sumed by advertisements and making
a few minor adjustments doesnt make
our logo-splattered world any more
livable.
Itd be nice to believe a ruling like
this is only the beginning of a larger
trenda CRTC-led rebellion against
the consumerist agendawere never
going to see the day that 7,000 people
write to the CRTC asking commercials
be banned in Canada and get their
rubber-stamped approval. Even adjust-
ing the length of commercials, which
are currently reserved at 30-second or
60-second time slots, seems unlikely to
ever occur. Corporate money makes the
world go round and thats not going to
changeat least not any time soon.
Luckily technology is already years
ahead at combating the infltration of
advertisements into our daily lives, do-
ing more than any meek rulings imposed
by the CRTC ever could. Those with
spare cash have embraced the power to
be able to bypass advertisements with
the latest technologywhether its sub-
scribing to commercial-free specialty
channels or listening to satellite radio,
citizens are putting up their own fght.
For those, however, who do rely on
the government to protect their hearing,
I wouldnt expect advertisers to easily let
go of their ear-blasting commercials.
Theyll fnd other irritating tactics to
be more pervasive than ever and make
sure you know their paper towel is bet-
ter than the other leading competitors.
Its a nice thought to prevent a hand-
ful of elderly citizens from early death
each year due to noise-induced heart
attacks each time Coronation Street
switches to a commercial break, but
beyond that, this ruling will have little
impact on constant advertising bom-
bardments by the media. If you want
something done right, do it yourself.
This week the Gazette asked stu-
dents if they thought Western party-
ing is out of control.
Western doesnt have a prob-
lem with partying compared
to other institutions we have
in London like Fanshawe. We
do have parties, but theyre
not out of control.
Adam Newton
Social Science i
Western does have a prob-
lem with partying, but i think
every single campus has a
problem with partying, its not
an exclusive Western thing.
Angela Goertz

No, i dont really notice much
in my neighbourhood. im
sure around campus theres
some parties going on, but for
me its not really that much of
an issue.
Rachel Laderoute

Western defnitely has a

DD/MM/YYYY brings dynamic style to Oh! Fest
Toronto band talks festivals, soundscapes and upcoming plans
Jesica Hurst
ARTS & LiFE EDiTOR
Day, Month, Yearknown as DD/
MM/YYYYis an experimental
indie Toronto-based band. Where
some bands exaggerate their indi-
viduality, the word experimental
actually serves as an accurate de-
scription of DD/MM/YYYY. From
synths to saxophones, the band
uses a range of instruments to pro-
duce what they call a mess of spas-
tic, art rock.
Drummer Moshe Rozenberg sat
down to answer a few questions.

Youre playing Oh! Fest on Satur-
dayhave you had the opportu-
nity to play in London before? Are
there any places youll be visiting
here before you leave?
We have played London a bunch.
Not places per-se, but we do intend
to visit some people and hopefully
read their latest comics.
What are you looking forward to
the most about playing the festival
this weekend? Do you prefer play-
ing festivals or more independent
shows?
Playing for free to an all-ages
crowd and sharing the stage
with Metz and The Meligrove Band.
As far as concerts go, we just prefer
variety and feel compelled to play
everywhere all the time. Festivals
tend to have a larger audience, but
we can actually get to know these
people if were playing someones
living room.
Playing a festival like this brings
in a variety of fans, some there for
other bands. How do you guys feel
about playing to people who may
not know your music very well?
We still perform with a frst im-
pression in mind and hope that
our music reaches those unfamil-
iar with these types of noises. This
weekend we are hoping to reach
the picnic people.
Looking at your website, you have
quite a colourful style. Are the im-
ages on your website and albums
refective of the music you make?
Certainly. Our collective per-
sonality is very easily distracted.
It takes many bright colours,
sudden movements and neat-o
soundscapes to keep us capti-
vated. I do believe there is an
abundance of this attention def-
cit wanderlust in our songwriting.
We try our very best to entertain
one another.
In a sea of indie artists, do you
ever feel the need to compete?
Or is the music scene and other
talents youre involved with very
supportive?
Competition seems a bit more
present when youre battling the
bands as a youngster. Our ambition
has grown more toward collaborat-
ing with those we admire.
Give us an update about where
DD/MM/YYYY is at right now. Any
tour plans? New music?
Well be touring the U.S.A briefy
at the end of the month and per-
forming at the [All Tomorrows Par-
ties] festival in New Jersey in early
October. Were touring Eastern
Canada and playing Halifax Pop
Explosion in the latter half of Oc-
tober. We have nearly an albums
worth of material and we arent
afraid to display it prematurely
this weekend.

ARTS & LiFE EDiTOR
London is becoming a hot spot for
some of the worlds biggest DJs.
What makes you excited about
playing at the John Labatt Centre?
Thats exactly why Im excited
I get to play the biggest venue in a
city thats got so much passion and
energy for electronic music. Its go-
ing to be epic.
Why do you think your music is
successful with students?
Electronic music has grown over
the past few yearsyou only need
to listen to mainstream radio to
hear that. These college students
have been exposed to this and now
theyre aware of how fun it can be.
This young generation is looking to
have a good time, all the time.
Youve collaborated with a range
of artists from Diplo to Tegan &
Sara. What qualities do you look
for in a collaborator?
I look for someone that I know
can produce something great with
me. They dont have to be the most
popular artist at that time, but they
do have to have some sort of amaz-
ing quality to their music that I
think will work well with what I do.
You hosted a contest offering fans
the opportunity to remix your
new track Work Hard, Play Hard
and to have the track released on
your Musical Freedom label. What
makes a remix a full-blown hit?
It has to really show the passion
of the person who is remixing the
track. A remix is that artists inter-
pretation of someone elses mu-
sic, so as long as they can express
themselves in their interpretation
then the remix has a chance to be
a hit.

Breakfast recipes
Now that school has started, you might be waking up earlier than usual
and enduring longer days. While breakfast is the most important meal,
many people skip it. Why get up early to eat when that extra time could be
used to sleep? The truth is, you dont need much time to create a delicious,
healthy meal. Here are some quick and easy breakfast ideas that will keep
you energized throughout the day.
HOMEMADE OATMEAL
Youll need:
cup dried oats
1 cup of milk
tsp sugar
1 tsp brown sugar
tsp cinnamon
Fresh fruit

Create a nutritious bowl of
oatmeal from scratch. Combine
two parts milk to one part oats in a
saucepan on medium heat, stirring
constantly. Add in sugar, brown
sugar and cinnamon. When the
milk starts to boil, let simmer and
continue stirring so the oats dont
stick to the pan and burn. Mixture
is ready when the consistency is
thick. Top with fresh fruit of your
choice. To make apple cinnamon
oatmeal, dice an apple and add it
the mixture in order to soften.

PROTEIN WAFFLE
Youll need:
A waffe
2 tbs of peanut butter
Nuts or raisins

Have a delicious waffe breakfast
without the extra sugar. Substitute
your usual maple syrup with
peanut butter. Just make your
waffe and spread two tablespoons
of peanut butter on top. For extra
favor, sprinkle nuts or raisins over
your waffes. Add fruit to your dish
for extra nutrition.

if youre cooking for two or need
to get rid of your eggs, try this
frittata recipe. its full of protein
and easy to make. This dish works
great as a weekend breakfast.

The Good
As the NFL season begins, many casual sports fans tend to
put their MLB rooting interests on the backburner, but in the
month of September, wildcard and division races are sure
to keep fans on the edge of their seat. Whether you have a
rooting interest in any of the teams or not, the races provide
consistent, night-to-night drama.
As expected in the strongest division in baseball, American
League East, the race between the Yankees, Red Sox and Rays
will certainly come down to the wire. With two spots available
for three teams, the hard charging Rays are looking to unseed
the faltering Red Sox for a chance at the wild card crown and
a berth in the post season.
in the National League, keep an eye on the St. Louis
Cardinals, who won seven of their last ten games. The
Cardinals are eyeing the sinking Braves for the last spot in
the playoffs.
The Bad
He is a 12-time all-star, a two-time World Series champion and a
World Series MVP.
There is no doubt that Manny Ramirez will be remembered for
these and many more accolades in the future.
However, there are also dark spots in Ramirezs career. He
has been accused of using performance enhancing drugs and
has been accused of loitering in the outfeld. Ramirez will also be
remembered for being taken out of his Weston, Florida home by
the police and being charged with battery on September 12.
Ramirezs wife, Juliana, told the police that she and Ramirez
were in an altercation, and then Ramirez slapped her, so she
called the police because she was afraid that the dispute would
escalate.
After establishing a career as one of the games most feared
hitters, Ramirezs career has been marred once again. How many
more hits can the legacy of Manny Ramirez take?
The Ugly
To many NFL fans, the lockout is a long forgotten time of grief,
but for many teams, its effects are only starting to hit home.
The importance of NFL training camp is often lost amongst the
anticipation for the NFL season, but teams feeling the injury bug
are not grateful for the lack of chemistry and game preparation
that caused their stars to fall. Whether its week-to-week injuries
such as St. Louis Rams stars Sam Bradford and Steven Jackson or
the crippling loss of a star such as Kansas City Chiefs sophomore
stud Eric Berry, the NFL and its fans are paying the price for a
shortened off-season.
injuries may in fact be a large aspect of the NFL, but with proper
preparation and ample amount of reps prior to the beginning of
the season, many injuries such as Carolina Panthers linebacker
Jon Beasons Achilles tendon injury, could have been prevented.
