come here because of a particular faculty member he wanted to work with. Peter Halpin, executive director of the Association of Atlantic Universities, said students are choosing the East Coast over larger metropolitan centres because the smaller to mid-sized universities
provide a different experience. Certainly down here theres a great deal of emphasis to make sure an international student feels welcomed the moment they step off the plane, Halpin said. Theres a certain comfort level with that. Halpin added familiarity is one of the biggest factors for interna-
tional students who are looking to study abroadsomething Nielsen said attracted her to Canada. In Denmark we have a big fascination with North American culture, she said. Its really cool coming to Canada because we see ourselves more like the Canadian people.
The city has obviously invested money in trying to enforce these bylaws to restrict the location of clinics, but it would be much better if that money had been invested in educating people.

done clinics that this was an invasion of their dignity and privacy. Martyn Judson, medical director of clinic 528, explained video cameras violate the privacy of clinic patients by identifying who comes in. Currently, the clinic only has security cameras monitoring the parking lot for things like vehicle damage or late-night scuffles. He was also against security guards in clinics. We certainly dont need security guards, because that conveys the impression that theres the potential for violence in a methadone clinic. Thats going to deter people from coming in for treatment, Judson said. Judson said that CPTED might be an effective measure to prevent drug trafficking around the clinic. He explained drug traffickers do not gather outside the clinic proper, but they do tend to congregate outside the coffee shop down the street. We try to keep the traffic mov-
ing, we ask patients not to stand outside, to move. But when theres a place that theyre naturally encouraged to congregate, namely the coffee shop down the corner, you can see it makes our life very difficult, Judson said. Ive worked in methadone clinics for 20 years and Ive not had any problems, Judson continued. Its all the optics. Its all the stories that you hear, this business about the bylaws trying to regulate clinics. Its all based on fear, misinformation, ignorance, bias, prejudice. Brown also talked about the nature of the safety concerns. She said she was impressed when she visited two of the methadone-dispensing pharmacies in the city. The city has obviously invested money in trying to enforce these bylaws to restrict the location of clinics, but it would be much better if that money had been invested in educating people.

union members are not happy and feel that they are not getting the respect they deserve. The union is seeking compensations for Air Canada workers who gave up pay and concessions to help the airline restructure when it filed for bankruptcy protection in 2003 and 2004. Trbovich outlined the unions key requests for the contract revision as offering Air Canada workers fair wage, and returning their pension back to where it was so the airline workers can receive recognition and compensation for their labour. While a strike would cause a major inconvenience to both Air Canada and those with travel plans for the holidays, Trbovich strongly felt this issue needs to be brought to a conclusion. It should not have gone this far, he said. Alexandra McCann

Dont be so trusting the next time you give out your credit card informationit could be used for fraudulent purposes. Six people in London have been charged for five different criminal acts, including the possession of a file with 3,000 stolen credit card numbers, names, addresses and email accounts. The six individuals, ranging from ages 18 to 41, were arrested on February 17 after investigators searched a home on Huron Street. We were alerted to them, and it was a result of our investigators digging into some information that they received, Dennis Rivest, media relations officer for the London Police Service, said. The investigation led them to gather enough information that they were able to locate these individuals and the scheme that they were working on, he explained. Theres a number of charges that they are facing, Rivest said. The six accused are being charged for possession of drugs, possession of credit cards obtained by crime and stolen possessions. This credit card fraud has been a month-long investigation and is still ongoing. There [are] over 3,000 credit card numbers that they had. Now those 3,000 card numbers are worldwide. So you can appreciate theres a lengthy investigation that needs to be completed, and our investigators are continually working on that, Rivest said. Hillete Warner

health and wellness projects, Joffre explained. I felt that since students were adamantly requesting more programming and services surrounding health issues, an increase in funding typically allotted was appropriate. Joffre noted the change from several commissioners to a coordinator and service would give these initiatives an executive team to work with and more attention from the USC than in the past. The main areas include sexual health, campus safety, alcohol and substance abuse, mental health and peer-support, and healthy lifestyles. Lu said the change would be welcomed. As a commissioner myself, I know that commissioners can really struggle to get enough funding, publicity and political weight to carry out our roles.

KoNy 2012
The Internet has been bursting at the seams the past two days with people sharing one particular video about Joseph Kony, an internationally despised figure in Uganda who has been plucking thousands of children from their homes and transforming them into warriors and sex slaves. The video has infected social media outlets, spreading through wall posts and tweets at an unprecedented rate. It calls for action this year, and people seem to be mobilized by its message. There are two sides to every story, however. Despite how hard the video may have tugged at your heartstrings, there are some criticisms about the charity behind the video, Invisible Children, and the movement in general. The first question is, why now? This has been a problem for a very long time. In fact, the footage for this film is several years old. According to some sources, Joseph Kony has already lost most of his power, and has been battled back out of Uganda. The video has basically mobilized people through misrepresentation. A lot of people are suddenly passionate about the suffering of other humans, and are now aware of the extent that some Africans suffer. But what is posting a video to your Facebook going to do? If a person truly wanted to help, they should be lobbying their governmentwho have real powerto take action. Even then, this issue is complex to a painful degree, and problems like this cannot be solved by throwing money at them. And even if we could agree that our priority should be sending in troops to take this guy downwhich has actually already been done, to some degree, for those who have only watched the videokilling his child soldiers in the process is likely going to be frowned upon by the international community. We would all like to combat evil, and we would all like to see a world in which child soldiers, sex slaves and bloodshed do not exist. But we want to see something done about it beyond a viral video. If were being optimistic, maybe this video will give birth to a generation of passionate activists. But using misleading information to get people to act in a way that will ultimately be detrimental is obviously wrong. Millions of people now know that Uganda isnt perfect. Now, millions of people should be doing further research and deciding on the most appropriate and effective response to their newfound knowledge. The Gazette Editorial Board

Caitlin Newnham conTribuTor Yesterday, the Spoke was filled with creativity, Red Bull and the smell of paint for the Visual Arts Supporters Associations BYOBBring Your Own Brushevent. For the first time, VASA provided students with the opportunity to paint in public. Red Bull was gracious enough to provide us with the free material and free refreshments all day, explains Amanda Oppedisano, president of VASA. As the name suggests, the students only had to bring their own brush. I knew VASA was a big supporter of the arts, so I shot them an email. We thought it would be a fun idea, so we teamed up, says Jeff Thorne, a student Red Bull representative. After the success BYOB had at the University of Guelph and Emily Carr University, the event seemed like the perfect way for VASA to further integrate visual arts into Western culture. We are always trying to create events for students to stay as involved as possible, whether they are an arts student, or just interested in the arts in general, says Oppedisano. Our goal this year has been to try and bring these types of events closer to the university core and to provide them most importantlyfor free. She also stresses that if students look, there are artistic opportunities. Students should know that there are resources available to them within not only the university community, but within the London arts community as well, and we want to be able to provide opportunities for themas best as we can. Ideally, wed love to have the artwork sold and donate the money to a charity such as the International Child Art Foundation, which funds these fantastic healing arts programs that provide children who are recovering from disasters with art materials as a means of therapy, says Oppedisano. The event allowed students from a variety of faculties, including history, science and visual arts to create beautiful pieces of art.

a platform for collaborative living
Emily Xi conTribuTor Uniiverse, a tech start-up by Western grad Craig Follet, is an online marketplace that allows users to exchange goods and services in person. Whether its attending cooking classes or borrowing someone elses bicycle for the weekend, members of Uniiverse will get to access hundreds of listings in their area offering activities or services they seek. Users can also create their own postings for free to sell their services and share talents while potentially raking in a small income. Uniiverse takes social networking further by allowing users to solidify relationships in real life through mutual interests. The world is becoming a bit too virtual, says Follet, CEO and chairman of Uniiverse. There needs to be a way to have people reconnect in the real world again and use technology for the greater good. Follet, along with co-founders Ben Raffi and Adam Meghji, were able to secure $750,000 in seed funding and have decided to base Uniiverse out of Toronto, striv-

ing for a home field advantage. The company took a very lean approach and started operations in a founders apartment, where the group worked on ping-pong tables. Given their limited resources, Follet and his partners had to diversify and draw heavily from their own experiences. As an entrepreneur, you have to do everything from financing, to marketing, to legal, [to] HR, Follet says. The company has since expanded their staff and has moved
to an office, where they now use a sandwich bar and chefs to keep employees happy and productive. The launch of Uniiverse is a tribute to the rise of a sharing economy and of a growing willingness in consumers to trust that technology can be used to build real relationships. Uniiverse aims to eliminate any stigma that comes with meeting people on the Internet by using
rating systems and reviews. Follet also points out that the strength of Uniiverse is in the depth of user profiles. By checking a users page, you can see all the other activities they have engaged in, such as hosting cooking classes or successfully returning borrowed equipment. This helps build trust amongst users. Standing at the intersection of
technology and humanity, Uniiverse is ready to bridge the gap that previous tech companies have neglected. A lot of sites in the past have been about information, whereas Uniiverse is about experiences real, tangible things, says Follet. It is going to be really interesting to see what people can create and share. Uniiverse.com

These skulls were created with 3-d modeling software and printed in the Thompson engineering building at Western. The skull on the left was made from abs plastic, and the one on the right from a powdered composite material.
andrei Calinescu GazeTTe sTaff The future has arrived. We may not have flying cars, but 3-D printing is here and ready to affect your life. From unique chocolates, custom jewelry and spare parts, to tailored bone implants3-D printing can do it all. Last year, Dutch surgeons replaced an 83-year-olds entire lower jaw with a custom 3-D printed titanium copy, enabling her to chew, speak and breathe normally. Researchers are even developing machines that will print fully functional organs. But how does this all happen? 3-D printers print stacked slices of a digital object using hardening liquids or fine powders melted into a solid. First, an object is created in computer aided design software. Next, it is sliced into very fine layersup to 33 per millimetre for the jawto be successively printed. Complex parts that would
be costly and laboriousor even impossibleto produce conventionally can thus be easily and automatically printed overnight. At Western, University Machine Services provides 3-D printing services for as little as $40 per hour. Rapid prototyping specialist Ian Vinkenvleugel has seen the technology progress and notes it is now more accessible to small companies and hobbyists. More materials are available and the machines are getting smaller and more desktop-usable. Its also more plug and play now, he says, noting metal printing machines are becoming increasingly common. Aerospace industries are using the technology to produce detailed and lightweight components out of titaniuma metal traditionally difficult to shape. Artists have also embraced the revolution, using it to give form to new ideas and phenomena, like a moths erratic flight as it circles a
light. Complex fractal-like mathematical structures once confined to the land of theoretical possibility can now be made on a desktop machine. Vinkenvleugel encourages people to try 3-D printing. There are really dirt cheap tabletop units available that you can start as a hobbyist playing with this technology at home, he says. For less than the cost of a Macbook, anyone can 3-D print from their desktop. Printrbot, Rep Rap or MakerBot are affordable models, and designs can be uploaded to reputable printing sites like Shapeways or Ponoko. They offer an array of coloured plastics, metal and glass printing. Essential Dynamics model, available for a paltry $3,000, prints tasty creations using chocolate or cheese. Vinkenvleugel says it best. These machines will go as far as peoples imaginations.
