Google’s e-book service to learn fate this week

A settlement this week will deter-

posed e-book platform.
Google Editions, an extension of
the Google Books scanning project,
is the corporation’s attempt to gen-
erate revenue from making printed
books accessible via the Internet or
any device equipped with a web

The initiative has garnered con-

City looking at light rail feasibility
By Cheryl Stone
Gazette Staff
The City of London is embarking
on a one-year project to plan the
next 20 years of transit in the city.
The first changes to be consid-
ered were recently presented to
council. These plans included
installing light rail transit along
some major routes, and changing
land use to be more transit-friend-
ly.
“Right now we only design for
one mode of transit — the automo-
bile,” Sean Galloway, urban design-
er for the City, said.

publishers need to hold on to their
rights to make sure that the writer
gets properly compensated,” Steve
Alb, director of The Book Store and
Graphic Services at Western, said.
“It’s not legal to provide copyright-
ed material in digitized format so
Google is trying to get around that.”
A settlement in Google’s favour
would allow the company to digi-
tize almost all books available in
print and any book being sold in
the U.S. published as of Jan. 5, 2008.
According to Alb, an e-book
platform is currently in the works at
Western in order to provide access
Galloway added London is
becoming a larger city, and felt it
was at a crossroads in its plan-
ning.
Harold Usher, commissioner for
the London Transit Commission
and Ward 12 councillor, was dis-
missive of the project.
“This to me almost ignores what
we are already working on,” Usher
said.
The LTC is in the process of plan-
ning the Bus Rapid Transit system,
to be in place by 2024. This system
would be similar to Go Transit, and
would dedicate lanes to buses to be
more commuter-focused.

“It’s not a response to [Google’s]

trying to do this responsibly.”
In the view of Harriet Rykse, col-
lections evaluation librarian at

“We have to get the [BRT] sys-

He felt the use of the light rail
system is heavily population-based
and the London population is not
close enough to make it worth-
while.
“You need 900,000 people to
support light rail,” Usher added,
“The [BRT system] is the most fea-
sible thing to do for the next 10
years.”
Galloway mentioned there

“You cannot leave the students

“We know the University is a big

Dan Moulton, vice-president
university affairs for the University

looking at short-term solutions
instead.
“The key thing for the USC is
that students are being consulted,”

LTC UPDATE
USC, admin
planning for
LTC strike
24 hours notice
required before
full service halt
By Cheryl Stone
Gazette Staff
Western and the University Stu-
dents’ Council are in the middle of
creating a transport plan for stu-
dents in the event of a strike.
“We are working closely with
administration,” Dan Moulton,
USC vice-president university
affairs, said.
The USC and administration
will continue to meet throughout
the week.
This plan may be necessary, as a
stalemate seems to have been
reached between the London Tran-
sit Commission and the Amalga-
mated Transit Union.
The union and the LTC do not
have any meetings planned
between now and the Nov. 16 strike
deadline.
“That doesn’t mean [a meeting]
is not possible — just one hasn’t
been scheduled,” Larry Ducharme,
general manager of the LTC, said.
He added the strike date added
extra pressure to negotiations.
“We’re quite willing to talk to
anyone at any time,” John Gillet,
vice-president of ATU Local 741,
said. “We’d rather be sitting down
and working out our differences
with London Transit.”
Ducharme commented the LTC
saw a 15 per cent decrease in ser-
vice on many routes through cam-
pus. “[This is] extremely coinciden-
tal,” Ducharme added.
“It depends on the number of
people who show up and how we
can realign these services.” he
explained.
According to Gillet, the decision
to select which routes are serviced is
decided by LTC. “A lot of service that
goes into Western has to be taken by
voluntary overtime,” he said.
Gillet admitted the possibility of
striking earlier than the Nov. 16
deadline may become a regrettable,
but necessary move.
“What it comes to is the safety of
our operators. They have been
receiving physical and verbal
abuse,” Gillet said. He pointed out,
however, students were not the pri-
mary aggressors in this situation.
“Once they withdraw services,
services are fully withdrawn,”
Ducharme said. “There isn’t any-
thing we can do.”
According to Moulton, the
union must give a 24-hour notice to
the USC before they go on strike. He
added students will be notified if
such a situation occurs.

NEWSBRIEFS
U of T strike averted
University of Toronto and sessional
faculty arrived at a tentative agree-
ment on the eve of the strike dead-
line.
Canadian Union of Public
Employees Local 3902 had been in
negotiations with U of T’s adminis-
tration since July, 2009. Some of the
issues surrounding the talks includ-
ed wages and job security, which
led to a stalemate between the two
parties in late-August.
The strike deadline was set for
Nov. 9; however, the University
avoided a strike as a result of the
agreement reached on Sunday
evening.
“The union is delighted to get
this settlement without a strike,”
Leslie Jermyn, spokesperson for
CUPE Local 3209, Unit 3, said. “It is
best […] [because] it doesn’t disrupt
students.”
According to Jermyn, the union
settled on an increase of three per
cent in wages.
“We’re absolutely satisfied with
that,” she said.
However, Jermyn mentioned the
union will have to keep moving
towards equalized pay as they are
still not on par with other schools.
CUPE represents 6,000 teaching
assistants and sessional faculty.
Sessional faculty are on call to
teach semesters as needed and per-
form 30 per cent of the teaching at
U of T.
Details of the settlement will be
made available to members on Nov.
16, at a ratification vote meeting.

Waterloo, Western join forces
The University of Western Ontario
and the University of Waterloo have
joined efforts to collaborate on
Waterloo’s future Stratford campus.
The two schools will work on
research and professional activities,
with an emphasis on digital media
and the promotion of Canada’s dig-
ital sector.
David Johnston, president at the
University of Waterloo, noted an
admiration for Western’s expertise
in regards to digital media.
“The University of Waterloo wel-
comes Western’s enthusiasm for,
and participation in, the develop-
ment of a digital media campus
and institute,” Johnston said in a
press release. “Western has well-
established strengths in media,
both traditional and digital, as well
as in information technologies,
which can only contribute to the
success of our efforts to establish
Stratford and Canada as digital
media [leaders].”
Amit Chakma, president and
vice-chancellor of Western agreed
with this sentiment.
“Western has considerable
expertise in the areas of digital
media, communications and infor-
mation technologies,” he said. “We The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that X

Fate of local TV left in public’s hands
By Meagan Kashty
Gazette Staff
Canadian television broadcasters
are in the midst of a campaign to
protect and preserve local television.
Local TV Matters is a campaign
launched to garner viewer interest
and campaign for support of local
television. With member networks
such as CTV, A Channel and CBC,
the campaign fights to protect an
industry that has been struggling
substantially for the last decade,
according to its website.
The website encourages sup-
porters to take action by contacting
their local members of Parliament,
who will forward concerns to Her-
itage Minister James Moore and
Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
“I really do believe in local tele-
vision,” Glen Pearson, Liberal MP
for London North Centre, said. He
added local channels such as A
Channel have helped inform Lon-
doners about important events.
Despite community support for
local television, the finances of
many broadcasters are suffering.
Advertising revenues for local sta-
tions have decreased, resulting in a
current traditional model of free
local television that is unsustainable.
Research librarians not worried
“Libraries will always have a role,” Rykse

“A lot of things that Google is focus-

“The more research that’s avail-
able to people the better but that
has to be balanced with crediting
sources and publishers,” she added.
Beyond copyright concerns, the
launch of Google Editions is likely to
have a mixed environmental impact

According to the campaign web-
site, cable and satellite providers
collect money from viewers for the
shows that local television broad-
casters provide, but return none of
the profits to local broadcasters.
However, according to www.stop-
thetvtax.ca — a website launched by
cable and satellite providers — local
television is the greater beneficiary of
the current arrangement.
“The big winners under this sys-
tem are the broadcasters. Their local
signals ride free over expensive
cable company facilities. They’re
delivered in high quality format to
far more viewers than broadcasters
could ever reach by transmitting
over-the-air,” the site states.
Don Mumford, vice-president
and general manager of A Chan-
nel—London, noted the onus is on
the Canadian Radio-television and
Telecommunications Commission
to develop a new revenue model to
help local stations.
“Our station in London in par-
ticular has been experiencing a lot
of financial problems for about 20
years now,” Mumford said. “We
were one of the first stations in
Canada to reflect the fact that the
existing broadcast model by the
CRTC is broken.”
sus print are obvious: eliminating
the energy consumed for trans-
portation of books, [reducing]
intense demand on forests for paper
to make new books and chemical
pollution caused by inks,” Stover
said. “However, reading used print
books instead of buying new books
is likely better for the environment
than reading an online book.”
According to Stover, studies have
shown 10 minutes of online reading

bon emissions as the manufactur-
ing process of a newspaper.

“It was broken back then, but
the industry and the CRTC have
been tucked away in the shadows,”
he added. “Problems that we were
experiencing back then [are] affect-
ing the system now, and the CRTC
has to come to grips with the fact
that the system established does
not work now.”
Ultimately it will be left to the
public to decide the future of local
television. It is the consumer who
dictates the revenue flowing
through the station, and by exten-
sion the number of services a
broadcaster can provide.
Mumford remained confident
public acceptance will not be an
issue in the event of an adopted
new model.
“We know that people want
local TV, and that consumers don’t
want their rates to go up,” Mumford
said. “If the CRTC focuses on trying Corey Stanford/Gazette

There was no introduction neces-
sary for Attack in Black to take the
stage at Call the Office on Saturday.
The indie-rock band from
Welland launched into their first
song to enthusiastic applause and
cheers from the mixed crowd of
university students, teens and a few
veterans of the grunge era.
Despite a late start and a less
than stellar sound system, Attack in
Black kept the crowd’s energy high
for their hour-long set.
The opening act, Halifax indie
quartet Dog Day, didn’t fare quite as
well and managed to draw only a
handful of curious patrons — most
of the of-age concert goers flocked
to the bar while the underage
members stood around and looked
dismissive. Dog Day put on a
decent show, but it was clear by the
end of their set the crowd was rest-
less and it was time to get the head-
liners on stage.
Without much preamble, Attack
in Black appeared. Vocalist Daniel
Romano didn’t spend any time

Towards the middle of Attack in

to demand one of the band’s most
well known singles, “Young

Intimate shows a “real honour”for Hawkins

Former Lowest of the Low member plays new hits, old favourites in London

CONCERT REVIEW
Performance:
Crowd:
By Pat Martini
Gazette Staff
Friday night the London Music
Club played host to Toronto singer-
songwriter Ron Hawkins with an
intimate acoustic show in its Cellar
Lounge.
Hawkins, formerly of Canadian
band Lowest of the Low, treated an
enthusiastic audience to two sets
and an encore, playing songs from
his time with Lowest of the Low, his
later group The Rusty Nails and his
solo album 10 Kinds of Lonely. His
solo record was released in August
of this year.
“It probably started with ‘Don’t
Be Long’ or maybe ‘Devil Went
Down’ when it started to sound like
a country album,” Hawkins said
after the show of the roots sound
that grew from the album.
Set List:
Worth the $$$:
The sense of storytelling and
emotion in his latest effort was
evident as he finished his first set
on with “D.F.W.” — a tribute to
the late writer David Foster Wal-
lace. “The song became about
words. How words can be evil,”
Hawkins said. “This took over the
song and I began to think about
Wallace with regards to this. But
it started off as just gibberish and
chords at first.”
There was a cool mix of new and
old in his show. In true troubadour
fashion, Hawkins stood alone on
stage with his guitar, as he did near-
ly 20 years before.
“When the Low started playing,
it grew by word of mouth. We’d go
out and busk or play some open
mic nights,” Hawkins said. “It was-
n’t super polished, but what even-
tually happened as we grew was
that [the audience] would talk
through all our songs except for the
radio hits during shows. Now play-
ing these more intimate shows I feel
a real honour. There’s an obligation
to the crowd as they come for the
music and listen closely.”
Standout tunes from his solo
album, such as “Turned
Around” and “Prodigal Son,” were
accompanied by old favourites
such as “Bite Down Hard” — one of
a few songs performed from his
time with backing band The Rusty
Nails — and songs from Lowest of
the Low such as “Hand of Magdale-
na” and crowd favourite “Black
Monday,” which finished off his
first encore.
Friday proved to be another
night where Hawkins graced the
Cellar Lounge with an evening of
songs that offered sweet melodies
and a truth somewhere between
the verse and the chorus. “I used
to take a journalistic approach to
song writing. A kind of ‘write
what you know’ type thing,”
Hawkins said. “But eventually it
just becomes a case of telling Gazette File Photo
honest stories. They are stories IT’S JUST ME AND MY GUITAR. Toronto singer-songwriter graced the

This Is It gives audiences a sense of closure

Michael Jackson film pays tribute to legend for the right reasons
By Nicole Gibillini
Gazette Staff
This Is It
Directed by: Kenny Ortega
Starring: Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson unarguably devel-
oped a negative reputation in the
media over the latter stretch of his
career. His musical talents were
often overshadowed by the media’s
focus on his personal life.
This Is It reveals a side of MJ that
had been hidden from the public
sphere for years. It gives fans what
they want — one last memory of
their beloved King of Pop.
The documentary-style film
showcases footage caught from
rehearsals of what was to be Jack-
son’s final full-fledged tour. It not
only captures complete perfor-
mances of some of MJ’s classics, but
also gives viewers a glimpse of his
true character.
The film demonstrates how
Jackson perfected his perfor-
mances and how he pushed his
dancers and creative directors to
craft their work to make it the best it
could be.
Audiences learn details about
how songs like “Thriller” and “Billie
Jean” were going to be performed,
along with insight into the creative
processs.
There are interviews with
dancers, directors and other people
that worked closely with Jackson in
preparing for the tour, but none
with the King himself. There is a
voice-over where he speaks briefly
about his love for the planet and
how he wrote songs to open peo-
ple’s eyes about current issues.
The film itself is well put togeth- Gazette File Photo

Riva runs wild as Mustangs trample Hawks KEY PLAYERS

Western to defend Yates Cup against Queen’s Gaels Offensive

Mustangs RB Nathan Riva

By Arden Zwelling
Gazette Staff
As the yards piled up, you could see
a bead or two of sweat on the fore-
head of the regularly cool Greg Mar-
shall.
“Well, he didn’t beat my record,”
the Mustangs head coach said after
watching his running back Nathan
Riva rush for 279 yards in a 26-16
semifinal win over Laurier, sending
the Mustangs to their third straight
Yates Cup.
Twenty-eight years ago to the
day, Marshall set the Mustangs
playoff rushing yardage record with
a 317-yard performance in a game
against the Golden Hawks.
“That’s why we didn’t give [Riva]
any more carries at the end,” Mar-
shall joked.
All jokes aside, Riva was unstop-
pable throughout the game, run-
ning out of the backfield 42 times
and picking up two TDs.
“We just couldn’t stop [Riva]
today,” Golden Hawks head coach
Gary Jeffries said. “He’s an outstand-
ing back. You know that Michael
Faulds is going to get his numbers.
But you can’t let the Mustangs run
too. That’s when they’ll kill you.”
Faulds, the fifth-year Mustang
QB, threw for an efficient 238 yards
on 14 of 29 passing. However,
Faulds’ performance did little to
quell questions about his injured
knee, which has turned him into a
strictly pocket quarterback.
“It’s just giving out on me,”
Faulds said of his heavily taped
knee after the game. “I’m going to
play regardless. This is my last year,
so it’s not like I’m going to rest it for
next year.”
The game started at a snail’s
pace with both teams piecing
together drives on offence but
negating any progress with strong
defence. After a Mustangs safety,
two field goals from Darryl Wheeler
and a 30-yard touchdown reception
by Laurier’s Josh Bishop with six
seconds remaining in the half, the
Mustangs went into the locker
room under familiar circumstances
— trailing early in the game.
“We seem to be a second half
team,” Riva said. “Marshall gave us
a speech at halftime and said ‘it’s up
to you guys now. It’s in your hands.
Do you want to walk out of here
winners or losers?’”
Marshall’s words resonated with
his team. Coming out of the locker
room trailing 9-6, the Mustangs
turned it around with another
Wheeler field goal and Riva’s two
TDs. The Mustangs have now
“NO, I WILL NOT MAKE OUT WITH YOU.” Mustang’s running back Nathan Riva ran all over the Golden Hawks
defence, gaining 279 yards on 42 carries and scoring two TDs, leading Western to a 26-16 victory in the OUA
semifinal. The Mustangs now go on to face the Queen’s Gaels for the Yates Cup.
outscored their opponents 131-24
in the third quarter this season.
“Our guys came out and took it
to them in the third quarter and
opened some big holes for Nathan,”
Marshall said after the game. “If you
block downfield for Nathan, he will
break off big gains.”
That’s exactly what Riva did with
8:31 left in the third when he broke
into the Golden Hawks’ secondary
and picked up a few key blocks
downfield, rumbling into the end
zone to put the Mustangs up 23-9.
“It was a great job by the line
blocking. I came through the line
with a great hole,” Riva said of the
run. “The receivers downfield were
huge, especially Zach Bull. He
made the block that put me into the
end zone.”
After Wheeler added his fourth
field goal of the game in the fourth
quarter, Golden Hawk QB Evan
Pawliuk found Dillon Heap in the
Mustangs end zone for a consola-
tion 7-yard touchdown.
The Mustangs defensive line
was bolstered up the middle by
Chris Greaves, first-year back up
Alexander Robinson and offensive
lineman Matt Norman, who plays
on both offence and defence for the
Mustangs. The defensive line,
which has had trouble with mobile
QBs, pressured Pawliuk relentlessly.
“We knew he wasn’t mobile so
we decided to really pressure him,”
Laura Barclay/Gazette
Greaves said. “We knew we could
catch Pawliuk if he ran so it gave us
a little more freedom and liberty to
get after him.”
The Mustangs travel to
Kingston next Saturday where the
two-time defending Yates Cup
champions will battle the Queen’s
Gaels for the Ontario title. The last
time the two teams met, Queen’s
edged out a 27-26 victory on a 30-
yard touchdown with 13 seconds
remaining in the game.
“We want redemption because
we feel we should have won that
game,” Riva said. “Queen’s is the
best football team in the OUA for a
reason. It’ll be our toughest chal-
lenge all year.”
42 rushes, 279 yards, 2 TDs
Once again, Riva was the
offensive player of the week,
leading the way with a person-
al best 279 yards. Riva man-
aged to gain 96 yards after the
first quarter and pulled off TD
runs of 22 and 55 yards to put
the Mustangs ahead for good
in the third.
Golden Hawks WR Dillon Heap
4 receptions, 29 yards, 1 TD
The Golden Hawks did noth-
ing on offence, gaining a
meager 274 yards. Heap was
one of the only bright spots,
leading the team in recep-
tions and scoring a late TD to
get the Hawks back in the
game. He was also dangerous
returning kicks, forcing the
Mustangs to kick away from
him.
Defensive
Mustangs LB John Surla
5 tackles, 1 fumble forced, 1 sack
Surla was dominant all game.
He was solid in coverage,
knocking down several pass-
es. He managed to get a lot of
pressure on Golden Hawk QB
Evan Pawliuk and was crucial
to stopping the run. The fum-
ble he forced led to Darryl
Wheeler’s last field goal,
which put the game out of
reach.
Golden Hawks FS Courtney
Stephen
8 tackles, 2 fumbles forced and
recovered, 1 sack
As good as Surla was, the best
defensive player on the field
was Courtney Stephen. The
man was in quarterback
Michael Faulds’ face all day,
sacking him once and ripping
the ball out of his hands with
Western threatening to score.
He also led the team in tackles
and did an excellent job cover-
ing Western receivers over the
middle.
Special Teams
Mustangs K Darryl Wheeler
4 of 4 on field goals, 34.5 yd
punting average
Wheeler has turned it on in the
playoffs. After dealing with
injuries all season, Wheeler has
been perfect in the playoffs,
nailing another four field goals
for the Mustangs, despite
strong winds. He also consis-
tently pinned Laurier’s anemic
offence deep in their own end.
