Nurse practitioners struggle financially methadone

Part-time classification limits loan options
aaron Zaltzman News ediTor Some students in the Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing have found themselves stuck in between a rock and a hard place. For students studying to become nurse practitioners, financial constraints could have a major impact on how they choose to complete the program. The main issue is that the twoyear combined masters and certificate program to become a nurse practitioner is set up so that in your first year youre enrolled as a fulltime undergraduate student, and then in your second year they [define] you as a part-time undergraduate student, Kendra Hastie, a student in the program, explained. The second year of the program involves students taking three credits, which puts them in the category of part-time students. According to Hastie, this disqualifies students from receiving some of the financial benefits available to full-time students, as it is assumed that part-time students are able to work when theyre not in school. Hastie explained students in her program have to put in too many hours for them to work enough to support themselves. Its created a lot of issues for students, because when youre classified as a part-time student, you dont qualify for any Ontario graduate scholarships, OSAP work , study, financial aid, nothing, Hastie said. Whereas even though its classified as part-time, for us the total work time is actually about 60 to 70 hours a week of class and clinical, so its not part-time. Even though students in the program only take three courses, part of the curriculum involves 12-16 hours of clinical shadowing each week, as well as an additional 20-30 hours per week of independent and group study. According to Hastie, this problem doesnt exist for students of the program enrolled in other universities. Wendy McCrady, coordinator for the master of nursing program, explained the complication lies in the fact that the program is actually overseen by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-term Care. This means that the standards of the program, being applied to nine different schools, are relatively inflexible. As a result, all the students in the program take the same three courses, but fall under the categorization of their respective universities. The students have certain criteria they need to meet to be eligible to write the licensing exam. Its beyond Westerns control, McCrady explained. There are often discussions on the provincial curriculum committee about how to do this program at different universities and the possibility of changing things. And some things are possible to change and be individualized and some things just arent. Some students find the intensity of the program difficult and want to do it differently, and they have that option of doing it in two aaron Zaltzman News ediTor

moratorium extended
In the latest London methadone clinic development, the Citys built and natural environment committee has voted to extend the yearold moratorium on methadone clinics until March. This comes on the heels of a proposal released by the committee on how to regulate the building of new clinics. Members of the committee said the extension of the building freeze was to give to the public an opportunity to discuss the proposal. We extended the moratorium for four months because we havent gotten all of our public meetings and such in place. You have to have a public meeting on thiswe have to run it out to the public, tell them what were proposing, and ask them for their input, Bud Polhill, a London councillor and chair of the built and natural environment committee, said. Since its getting close to Christmas, we didnt want to have it during the Christmas holidays. The proposal, which councillors explained seeks to strike a balance between offering help and protecting the community, lays out regulations on things such as the hours a clinic may operate, how the operators may handle patients and mandatory distances from places such as schools. About 40 per cent of people who use the clinic are not hard drug users, theyre people who are addicted to painkillers and now theyre trying to get off them, Polhill said. So these are just average people who are caught up in a painful situation and now are addicted. So weve got to look after these people but we have to look after our children too. Polhill said he expects some opposition to the proposal during the discussion periods, as some people might find the measures it suggests overly harsh. However, he stands by the proposal. There may be some opposition from operators of methadone clinics and there may be some opposition from health care workers who might think were going a little overboard without recommendations, Polhill explained. I dont think we are. We need to look after the people who are visiting these places.

to three years. The students that have to work may choose to do it even more part-time. However, Hastie said for students in her program, even spreading out their education may not be feasible. They have to try to work while

theyre in school, which when youre doing 60 to 70 hours a week is next to impossible. There are students having to take the program [even more] part-time over four or five years because they cant take off work, Hastie said. Ive known students whove had to drop out.

oUSa looks at ontario university spending

Julian Uzielli GazeTTe sTaFF The Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance has released a research report on the increasing costs at universities in Ontario. The 48-page report, entitled Rising Costs: A Look At Spending At Ontario Universities, found that as university operating costs have been rising, students have been shouldering more of the load. Sam Andrey, executive director of OUSA and co-author of the report, said he hoped the report would help change the way universities are funded in Ontario. Part of our objective in releasing this paper is to jump-start a discussion about how funding could be used more effectively to protect quality but also save students money, he said. Andrey added that while over the past 20 years university funding has kept up with inflation and enrolment, the proportion of that funding being handled by the government has declined. Students are paying for a larger portion of operating expenses through tuition, to the point where now nearly half of operating revenue comes from tuition fees. According to the report, since the 2004-05 academic year, operating revenue has gone up by over $3,000 per student. Of that increase, 72.2 per cent went towards

Let there be lattes

According to a press release, starting November 14 Canadas most popular coffee shop will offer new speciality coffees made with premium espressos, such as lattes, mocha lattes and cappuccinos. We carefully explored lattes for some time, Paul House, president and CEO of Tim Hortons, said in the release. The unique blends weve developed deliver a rich, creamy drink consistently and fast. This foray into lattes comes as a logical step. Tim Hortons already offers specialty coffees like French vanilla cappuccino and

caf mocha. With nearly half a century of coffee experience, weve learned how to produce premium coffee, consistently, at value prices, House said. A representative for Hospitality Services at the University of Western Ontario was not able to be reached for comment, and it remains to be seen if the new espressos will be offered on campus.

Beavers battle bears for national supremacy

Nickels may soon have to be reissued if Conservative Senator Nicole Eaton has her way. Eaton is urging her colleagues and Prime Minister Stephen Harper to introduce a private members bill which would abandon the beaver as Canadas national symbol and replace it with the polar bear. In her argument, Eaton compared the beaver to a rat that was no longer relevant. However, Roots Canada has since launched a petition in response, pointing to the beavers relevance. Our buck-toothed friends up in Algonquin Park, now preparing for the long winter, are deeply offended by Senator Eatons unconscionable demand to retire the beaver and cause offence to millions of Canadians, the petition read. Thus far, the petition has garnered over 6,000 signatures. Beavers have risen beyond their original stature as a hunted species for hats [...] to symbols of hard work and perseverance, one signatory commented. Rodent or not, they are a true representation of Canadians. Polar bears, on the other hand, eat seals and sell Coca Cola. Gloria Dickie

Downtown campers occupying Fontanas time

Kaleigh rogers mulTimedia direcTor Anthony Verberckmoes said hes been a radical for over 20 years. The self-described kitchen slave and single parent is one of the dozens of protesters currently staying in Victoria Park in downtown London and they dont plan on leaving any time soon. The activistsa local branch of the global Occupy movementhave been staying in tents day and night at the park since October 22, and their numbers are growing daily. Every day we get more people on board, we build new things, we get more organized, Verberckmoes said. Our support is growing all the time. Along with the countless supporters who stream in and out throughout the day, Verberckmoes estimated there were 25 people staying in the park full-timethough few supporters, if any, are university students. One of the main purposes, especially of an elite institution like [Western], is to really confine thought and I find that to be true, he said. Yesterday, Verberckmoes was heading the Occupy London media tent, where he and others have hooked up laptops in order to spread their message through social and alternative media. When asked what that message was, Verberckmoes laughed. The media would dearly love us to say that, he said. Theres no single ideology to it, theres no real overwhelming single concern, its a really broad thing. Fellow occupier, Kenneth Red Leybourne, had trouble pinpointing a singular focus as well. We want to see more of an equality across the board in the living classes, in businesses, and more accountability, transparency, and responsibility in government, Leybourne described. But Verberckmoes argued a lack of a specific list of demands does not indicate a lack of

salary and benefits, 9 per cent to scholarships and bursaries and 6.1 per cent to buildings. While that number may appear disproportionate to some, Patrick Searle, vice-president of administration for OUSA and vice-president of university affairs for the University Students Council, explained that he didnt think faculty were paid too much. Its not that. Those are all costs that have to be paid, he said. But with finding new money [...] and all the donations that are coming in, theres always money around that we would always advocate being put towards the quality of an educational experience at Western. According to the report, given the current economic climate it is unlikely that per-student funding will be able to increase dramatically either through government grants or increased tuition, while maintaining the accessibility and affordability of the system. Searle, however, was optimistic the report would help to put the province on track. I think we need to be careful about how we grow, and I think if we are careful and if the government pays attention to this growth over the next 15 years, and understandswhich I think they dothe effect that post-secondary education has on the greater holistic country and the province, then I think the system can be sustainable.

organization. Ive heard the criticisms that we dont have demands or a singular focusI reject that, he said. I think our movement is speaking enough right now and pushing a fragile coalition of people towards some concrete demand just to appease people who dont understand whats going on [] would be a mistake. Mayor Joe Fontana said hes tried to be patient with the protests, but is worried theyre becoming disruptive to the rest of the population. I believe, and council believes, that theres a right to free speech and protest and theyre allowed to do that in the park anytime, Fontana explained. But overnight you cant build structures and you cant stay in the park. He noted the occupiers have started to interfere with the regularly scheduled park events and maintenance. Tuesday night, for example, the Shine the Light on Women Abuse treelighting ceremonyan annual eventhad to be relocated because of the Occupy tents, he said.

Ive asked patiently now [] for them to start thinking about moving and at some point in time we will have to enforce the bylaw, Fontana said. Theyve been respectful and so have I, [but] at the end of the day, the bylaws are for everyone and we cant make exceptions. But Verberckmoes said the occupiers arent concerned about bylaws. Our feeling is that the Canadian Constitution provides for the right to peaceful assembly, he said. Those trump any municipal bylaws and weve been reassured by legal counsel thats a pretty sound argument and well worth presenting should any court cases arise. For now, he said, the occupiers have no intention of going anywhere. Everyone here is eager to discuss the situation and we think thats our big selling point, Verberckmoes concluded. If people come out here, usually they leave having a fairly positive feeling about what were doing.

Money for Mostaches
Movember is upon usthe number of moustachioed men on campus is about to increase, and average male attractiveness is going to drop at least two points over the next 30 days. Much like the hair on our upper lips, this international movement has grown quite a bit since it first began in 2004. Last year alone, in Canada more than 22 million dollars was raised, with more than 75 million dollars raised worldwide. We see the hairy faces, but how much does this macho month really do for prostate cancer charity? In terms of awareness, Movember is likely as good as it gets. The movement has skyrocketed in terms of popularity, and most people understand that prostate cancer is the underlying reason. But there are probably also a few guys who just want to see how they look with a moustache under the guise of raising awareness. How important is raising awareness? We could get every single man, woman and animal on Earth privy to the fact that prostate cancer exists, but without research being done on the subject, no treatment will ever come out of it. Movember does seem to raise money effectively along with awareness, so as long as our money is going to be used efficiently, the campaign does a decent job of working towards a treatment. Once people are aware of an issue, they need to actually take the next step to get educated. It would be nice if everyone who wanted to raise awareness would take the time to research prostate cancer, and maybe tell their friends the severity of disease. Charity shouldnt be a popularity contest, but unfortunate reality is that resources will only be allocated to the diseases that people know and care about. Unless someone has been personally affected by an illness, its unlikely theyre going to be donating. Popular campaigns are often the only way to garner attention. In an ideal world, everyone would be educated and informed, and would be able to donate the funds they see fit based on the severity of the disease and the effectiveness of the charity. In the real world, as far as a more abstract issue with less tangible results goes, Movember has done a pretty great job raising both money and awareness.

Not down with Goose jacket

the tables have sterned
ryan Stern sPorTs ediTor I used to think the most annoying thing about campus was the Canadian geese that congregate on University Hill. But lately theres been an even more annoying goose hanging around campus. Of course, I am referring to the overwhelming number of Western students that sport the exorbitant status symbol known as the Canada Goose jacket between the months of November and March. Is it only at Western that the words Canada Goose change in connotation from majestic national animal to overpriced attempt at acceptance? Ill admit that the London winters do tend to be cold, and if the warmth of the jackets was the single reason students wore them then I wouldnt be really be complainingbut we all know thats not the case. Selling for upwards of $500, Canada Goose jackets are the ultimate cry for social acceptance. For a campus that is often stereotyped by outsiders as spoiled, Canada Goose jackets could be presented as exhibit A in their case. Many students lay claim to the fact that the jackets are worth the hefty price tag for their warmth, but it should be pointed out that many other jackets are more affordable, equally as warm and, in my opinion, much more stylish. Normally I would refrain from generalizing an entire company under one product, but I dont have to because Western students have already done that for me. Im not criticizing the entire company because they do have a wide variety of coats to choose from, but students at Western seem to be fixated on a singular jacketthe black Chilliwack Bomber. If you have ever walked around campus in the winter months, it becomes painfully obvious that seemingly every other person on campus has the exact same jacket, down to the colour, price and puffiness level. What is it with winter months that seem to produce stagnant, obnoxiously identifiable outerwear trends? First Uggswhich unlike Canada Goose jackets provide little to no protection against the harsh elementsand now these coats. Is there something about the social protocol of Western students that prevents us from wearing both practical and affordable clothing? No, I am not a member of some sort of occupy group and I am not arguing against the one per cent. Im simply saying that just because you have the money to afford a Canada Goose jacket does not mean you have to shut off all semblance of originality. It is bad enough that most students cellphone choice is between iPhone and BlackBerrystudents could at least try to be inventive in their choice of winter outerwear. It says a lot about our campus that one is praised as original for sporting a Canada Goose jacket that isnt black.

real fur fashion faux-pas
Gloria dickie News FeaTures ediTor As temperatures plummet and morning frost becomes a common occurrence, many students are pulling out their Canada Goose jackets and Uggs to prepare for another Canadian winter. However, many students may not realize the fringe on their jackets is actually coyote fur, not synthetic fibers, and their comfy Australian footwear is assembled from sheepskin. While staying warm is key in this harsh climate, there are plenty of animal-friendly alternatives to wearing animal skins and furs for the sake of fashion. We encourage people to use faux fur and faux leather as alternatives to animal-based versions if thats the look theyre desiring, Ryan Huling, manager of college campaigns for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said. He pointed to pins and stickers available from PETA which say Fake for the Animals Sake. This helps people make it clear that their jackets and other items are not made from animals, he said. But even faux fur alternatives can be problematic as they promote the look of fur in the fashion industry. One growing trend in the faux fur business is to produce fur that looks very fake and doesnt look like it came from an animal, Huling observed, giving an example of jackets which use hot pink fur instead of natural hues. Many young people dont want to buy products that look like they were created from skinning animals alive. And often times, natural fibers such as polyester and cotton provide just as much warmth as fur, for half the priceespecially when that fur is only being used for decorative purposes.

Irene Velentzas coNTribuTor Director: Roland Emmerich Starring: Rhys Ifans, Vanessa Redgrave and David Thewlis What would you hazard with an untraceable identity? Chaos. Murder. Treason. Ultimate fame. Infamy. Roland Emmerichs Anonymous explores the power of obscurity, uncovering the differences between men who can and men who cantthose who will and those who wontand those who cannot help themselves. The period drama opens with an unknown actor rushing to take present-day centre stage. As the curtain rises, he addresses the audience with a typical Shakespearian prologue, the topic of which is Shakespeare himself, or the supposed author of his words. Alternating between cuts of the audiences perspective and the backstage preparations, the film subtly encourages the discovery of a secret truth. The film seamlessly transitions from a modern stage to gritty Elizabethan England, where the matter of royal succession has an unstable nation on the brink of revolution. The chronology shifts subtly from scene to scene, making the plot inscrutable at first glance. The

who was the real Shakespeare? the real thing is better

Cheryl madliger GazeTTe sTaFF When it comes to supplementing with vitamins and minerals, more is not always better. Two recent publications confirm the common sense idea that we should get our nutrients from food. The first of the studies, published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, linked vitamin E and selenium supplementation in men with prostate cancer. The other, a report in the Archives of Internal Medicine, demonstrated a higher risk of dying amongst older women over a 19 year period with the use of multivitamins and supplements in comparison to women who didnt use supplements. Samantha Keller, registered dietitian for the University Students Council, says supplements arent a magical solution. Supplements are not a reliable substitute for a healthy diet, she explains. We are seeing more and more research that whole foods contain many components that cannot be replicated in supplements, she says, mentioning examples like lycopene, a component in red producesuch as tomatoes and watermelonthat is ineffective in pill form. The recent studies go further than just stating supplementation may be ineffective. Besides the risk of toxicity, the studies are showing that overdoing it can actually lead to disease. According to Keller, there are times when a supplement is warranted. Women who are of childbearing age or pregnant, for example, should supplement with folate and possibly iron, she says. As well, individuals with proven deficiencies should add supplements. If someone has a deficiency as evidenced in a blood test [] or if they consume a special diet lacking certain vitamins, a supplement is warranted, she says, using the example of vegans who often consume very little B12. Other vitamins may be recommended for health conditions but a person considering supplementation should always check with their physician.

film makes it impossible to distinguish who is who and how each might relate to the other. Consequently, the audience must struggle to determine the identities of characters who are anonymously portrayed. Eventually, the sporadic scenes seem to localize on a central figure, Edward De Vere (Rhys Ifans), Earl of Oxford and his oppressing addictionwords. The seemingly innocent pursuit of compositionthe compulsion to express the words raging inside of himthreatens to mobilize the people of a nation into destruction. Since entertaining such frivolous pursuits is scandalous for a man of De Veres sta-

tion, he must name another to his literary legacy. Pride, jealousy and incompetence continue to rage on personal and national fronts, where one mans hesitation quickly becomes another mans exploitation and success is only as far away as knowing thyself. Filmgoers who are looking for historical accuracy, however, should look elsewhereEmmerichs film reminds those viewers that history is as inscrutable as the individuals who compose it.

Sports
John Petrella coNTribuTor This past weekend in Ottawa the mens and womens cross country teams tested their mettle at the Ontario University Athletics Championships. The women managed a spectacular third place finish and advanced to nationals behind perennial contenders Guelph and McMaster. The men garnered a sixth place finish and missed out on nationals, although Kyle ONeil and Ryan Armstrong are going to nationals as a result of their ninth and 18th place finishes respectively. ONeil also was named to the OUA second team all-star team, based on the strength of his finishes throughout the season. On the womens side, Jen Bays was named as a first team OUA allstar, and was the top runner for the Mustangs, finishing in sixth place. Becky Pieterson was named to the second team OUA all-star squad, and finished in 14th place. Despite the strong effort by the men, senior runner Brent Smith felt a touch of disappointment with the end result. Sixth place is certainly not the result we were hoping for. We had our eyes on third place, since Guelph and Windsor were pretty much locks for first and second, Smith stated. Despite his team not placing exactly how he thought they would, Smith was quick to congratulate

the effort of the team. All the guys gave everything they had, and everyone should be proud of their efforts. A big congrats to Kyle Real Deal ONeil on his ninth place finish and to the womens team on their third place overall finish, Smith said. Bob Vigars, the head coach of the Mustangs cross country team, was impressed and satisfied with the teams efforts at the meet. What the men did last Saturday was really good. I tip my hat to the teams that beat us, Vigars said. The difficulty of this meet was obvious with the many events that the cross country team has competed in this year. Its really hard to peak at the right time of season. We like to race a lot because we feel we owe it to the opposition, Vigars ex-

plained. I am pleased we were able to peak for this meet on both mens and womens sides. It was key to get the right mix of working hard and getting rest. Its a very delicate balance. As the womens team prepares for the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships in Quebec City on November 12, a sense of excitement and anticipation of what

awaits them prevails. This meet gives great confidence going into nationals. We are really hungry for a podium finish, we are going to go after the top teams, Vigars said. While the teams will lose some top runners, including ONeil on the mens side, and Pieterson on the womens, tremendous enthusiasm and high expectations are

reserved for the womens team for next year. Everyone is progressing and this is really important because next year we are hosting the CIS championships, and we could be even better next year, Vigars said. With the confidence in the cross country teams camp, a podium finish at nationals for the women could be within sight.

GazeTTe sPorTs ediTors Keaton Turkiewicz shone the brightest of all the stars in Mustangs athletics this week earning him this weeks Purple Pipe. Playing right wing for the mens hockey team, Turkiewicz has been clutch for the Mustangs for the past three yearsand this year looks to be no exception. In his first year with the mens hockey team in the 2008-09 season, Turkiewicz tallied 12 points in 19 games. In his next two seasons, Turkiewicz scored 43 points and 30 points in 28 and 24 games played respectively. Formerly of the Belleville Bulls and Windsor Spitfires, Turkiewicz is a vital player to the success of the Mustangs. Standing at only 511, Turkiewicz may be small in stature but he plays a fearless game. Having already scored the game-winning goal against the University of Toronto Varsity Blues on October 15 this season, Turkiewicz played another big role in the Mustangs shootout victory over the Guelph Gryphons this past weekend. With the game deadlocked at 2-2 and overtime solving nothing, Turkiewicz was the only Mustang to solve the Gryphons goalie, handing the Mustangs a 3-2 victory. Turkiewiczs play for the last couple years has earned him the assistant captaincya position he definitely deserves.

The Mustangs currently sit second to the Lakehead Thunderwolves in the Ontario University Athletics West division. With a record of 5-0-1, the Mustangs have played fewer games than their West division counterparts due to an extended preseason. The veteran Mustangs team looks to improve on their record as they travel to Guelph for a rematch with the Gryphons on Thursday. Following that, they hop on the bus to Windsor to take on the Lancers on Friday. With the task of defending their OUA West title from last year at hand, the Mustangs will lean on veterans like Keaton Turkiewicz to lead the way.
