Halftime Habits
By: Jack Cashin
Just as you are about to take possession of the ball, a sharp and shrill sound pierces your ears – the sound of the referee’s whistle blowing. What is it this time? Did he see another phantom handling of the ball? Did Fabio Ponti do his impression of the Italian national team by falling to the ground (some call it diving, some call it embellishing, Fabio calls it instinct) and flailing his limbs about as if he was concurrently suffering a Taser shock and a femur fracture of his femur?
As you turn to complain to the ref, regardless of the call, you realize he is merely indicating that the first half is over – it’s halftime. There are only a few minutes before play will resume. How are you going to prepare to tackle the crucial second half? With your mind racing, you can’t help but remember the words of famed NCAA coach Bob Knight: “Everyone wants to win, but not everyone is willing to prepare to win.”
There appear to be two main schools on how to best exploit the precious pause that is halftime: physical versus mental preparation. The first – physical preparation – covers a range of possibilities. It involves everything from attending to the injuries taken during the first half (always got to have the Flintstones band-aids for Dave Scholl or that kid will freak out), to running for a quick bathroom break (a favourite of the notoriously small-bladdered James Park), to snacking on Power bars (or, if you’re like me, fruits smuggled from Strachan). One of the most important ways to prep physically between halves, though, is through hydration. The last thing you want during the second half is to suffer a heat stroke because you forgot to drink water AND missed out on Mrs. Shackleford’s orange slices.
Now, while you could take this advice, run out to Metro and buy the full Gatorade G Series Prime (read: rip-off), you may also say to yourself, “Hey, I go to Trinity! I only drink water when I’m out of vodka – and I never run out of vodka.” In this case, you should look to NBA Champion Ron Artest, or as he is legally known nowadays, Metta World Peace (no joke, that’s actually his name – his daughter’s name is Diamond World Peace…but it’s weird to associate “diamond” with “world peace” to me…and Mr. DiCaprio…but whatever). While the name may be a little ironic given the fact that he once jumped into a crowd to beat up an opposing fan, it may come as a comfort to know that he is also famous for having drank Hennessy cognac at halftime in the early days of his career.
When mentally preparing for the second half, some people like to stay quiet, keep their thoughts to themselves and focus. Others prefer to talk with their teammates, discussing attack plans and highlighting what went well (or not so well) in the first half. When taking a psychological approach, it is important to avoid distractions. Keep focused on your goals for the second half and ignore everything else. If that one heckler on the sideline has been chirping you all game, just block him out (and get him after the game in the parking lot). If Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake are performing, it’s probably best to ask for a recap later.
When it boils down to it, though, the moral of the story, regardless of the approach you take, is to drown out anything that is going to stop you from achieving your goals. Hear that sound? It’s that damned referee blowing his whistle again. Now put down this article and get your head in the game – we’re counting on you to get that W.

Sprints, Smooches, and Superheroes: A Saint’s Rush Review
By: Natalie Wright
For about a month before the actual rush, I could not keep track of the number of times I overheard ‘Sooo, should I run for a guy I actually like?’, as upper years laughed and responded ‘Oh, @$%&*, of course you should rush the guy you like!’. Wrong. But, in any case, it was great to see so much anticipation for the kick-start of our first formal, the Saints Charity Ball!
I am one to get ridiculously excited about our formals; specifically for the glamour they bring to our regular sweat-pant-ridden student lives. I was a little skeptical about whether or not this year’s Comic Book theme would be as glamorous as past years have been, with themes like Motown and the Deep South. However, a couple of things ousted my apprehensions about this year’s Saints Ball.
Firstly, whoever’s idea it was to have our resident college hunks make videos to show why we should duke it out for their hands is absolutely effing brilliant. Fabio’s astonishing mastery of the creepy smile wowed all and Michael Humeniuk’s ability to GTL all at the same time was particularly impressive. But none was so beautiful, so simple, so utterly breathtaking, as Ben Crase’s naked leg maneuver. Girls wanted him. Guys wanted him. This was the beginning of a beautiful rush.
Apart from the odd Archie Comic and a brief Moontang education about World of Warcraft Edition 13 (and you thought it wasn’t a comic book, let alone one with a thirteenth 13!), I’ve never had any particular affinity with graphic novels. However, I was recently re-introduced to Emma Peele from ‘Avengers.’ Emma Peele’s embodiment of power and sexuality, and her status as a style icon, totally changed my perspective on the comic book theme. Such a theme provides a perfect dichotomy between serious and silly, along with freedom of interpretation of the term ‘Superhero’ – which always allows for great costumes. And great costumes there were! Notable outfits included the Powerpuff Girls, the Catwoman ladies, and first year Arun as Steve Jobs (too soon? iApprove).
The set-up in the Buttery was the best I have ever seen. An elevated catwalk, a DJ booth in the middle of the room and a flashy BANG sign made in traditional comic book font (‘not Comic Sans, thank God!’ exclaimed Alessia Belissario) made for an extraordinarily simple, but effective, party venue. Everyone was dressed up, and with the lighting and smoke machine accentuating the catwalk and DJ booth, the space was entirely transformed. Creative and simple solutions always prevail. Well done, Saints Crew!
The catwalk was used and abused with a perfectly executed Zoolander-esque walk-off right before midnight. Adding to the air of competition for the night, all kinds of characters strutted their stuff, culminating in a bloody fantastic choreographed routine by Daniel Bennett and his crew of Powerpuff Girls. We expected nothing less, but still jumped up and down with glee.
After a thorough panel discussion and crowd consultation, Daniel Bennett and Victoria Hoffman deservedly took home the prizes for best costumes. Our resident Trinity DJ Geoff Harricks provided the beats to strut to, spinning all night long. As soon as I heard a mix between Classixx’s Cold Act III and Thriller, I knew we would be in for yet another night of great music. Damn, we’re lucky!Finally, at twelve o’clock, men and women of college lined up on either side of the Quidditch Pitch, inebriated enough for the sprint to look less daunting than perhaps it should have. The Fresh Prince of Trinity College counted down, and rushers bolted, collided, elbowed, kicked, scratched and thrashed their way across the pitch to get to their partners. Happy couples laughed and hugged and everyone began planning their future dates, outfits and gifts immediately. Men, you’re in for a wild ride.

How your “Tweeting Disorder” is munching on your brain
By: Jessica Cahill
Internet usage today yields a combination of useful information and mindless pleasure. It is employed as an educational tool that provides credible and rapidly available sources for students. Lecture notes and lab outlines are downloadable at the click of a mouse. Indeed, the array of material has the potential to take research to a whole new level. Trinity College itself relies heavily on its website, whose functions range from providing scholarship information to party sign-ups. However, there is a flip side to the benefits of Internet usage that is taking universities by force.
What is being popularized within the Internet is simplicity. This idea has manifested itself through communication. The idea’s onslaught is credited to the text message, which sends shorthand messages in lieu of a phone call. Websites like Twitter have sprung up that are centred around this craze. But why does the world need updates on the lives of those they “follow” in 140 characters or less? Is email not satisfactory enough? In the pre-Twitter era, hundreds were not scratching their heads wondering, “How can I follow the minute-by- minute actions of Pujan?”.
One may question whether status updates will soon be limited to punctuation
marks.
Regardless, Twitter’s system of effortless, undemanding communication is accessed by 3 million accounts daily.
This downsize of communication is hindering classroom performance. Gregory Levey, a professor at Ryerson University, stated that “plug in: tune out” perfectly captures the attitudes of adults today. Students employ the virtual world as a classroom escape. According to Levey, teaching has become the challenge of educating the “iGeneration”. Our constant use of technology is changing the way our brain stores information and processes interactions – and not for the better.
Just a few hours online each day is enough to weaken certain neural processes and train the brain to create shortcuts for acquiring information. The result is that the brain has less capacity for long-term storage. In reality, students will outgrow their proficiency to look beyond the Internet for information. With students lacking critical analytical skills, the way knowledge is obtained has been vastly altered.
Levey states that the effects of limited communication in order to deliver blasts of information can be seen in writing comprehension. The more students access social media sites, the more difficult it will be to create a 3000-word essay. Establishing a thesis and forging effective arguments begins to feel impossible when contrasted to creating an efficient, 140-character post.
Even more ridiculous is that Internet slang is being intertwined with formal writing. According to Levey, two of his students have used “LOL” and “gr8” in papers, among other online shorthands. “One student, in a literature paper…for a third year class of U of T, quoted icanhascheezburger.com,” said Levey.
Researchers such as Levey have concluded that they will need to find ways toelongate the ever-shrinking attention span of students. The solution does not lie in finding new ways to fulfill their needs, but in impeding the usage of computers. Levey enforces a strict laptop ban in his classroom, thereby forcing students to handwrite notes. The result? A more engaged and productive group that promotes a high quality of discussion. This clearly accredits more traditional learning methods, giving solid meaning to the phrase
“tried and true.”

The Mid-term Sutra – love it or leave it
By: Helenaz Hajifattahi
It’s that time of year again. I’m not talking about hockey season (and the unexpected rise of the Leafs’ standings) and I’m not talking about Halloween. I’m talking about midterms. Be it with lab reports, essays, or oral exams, we have all been exposed to this tortuous form of suffering in some form or another.
As students head into their fourth consecutive all-nighter, running on nothing more than Strachan coffee-flavoured-water and bananas that they snuck from under Zen’s peering gaze, they can’t help but yearn for a little bit of relaxation, balance and tranquility. For some, that translates into a brisk walk to Tim Hortons to gorge on a scrumptious assortment of Timbits. For others, a swift lap around Queen’s Park to get the endorphins flowing does the trick. For many, though, de-stressing entails a quick – and arguably necessary – session under the sheets.
One of the most basic human instincts is the desire to seek pleasure and live life to the fullest, carpe diem style. By nature, we just want to have fun. I find that this intense yearning for self-fulfillment is even more pronounced when we’re feeling defeated. When feeling the pressures of school, we need a little pick-me-up. As such, we seek to reward ourselves, and while some turn to scrumptious desserts or strenuous workouts, an equally stressed group turns to casual sex. But why?
According to the always-reliable source, Wikipedia, stress is the failure of a person to respond to mental, emotional or physical demands. Our nervous system responds by releasing surplus amounts of hormones, and we feel the crunch. We are all emotional creatures; we crave human interaction, be it a physical or a psychological one, and sex is the amalgamation of these desires. It feeds both our physical desires (self- explanatory) and our psychological cravings for companionship and adoration. It follows, then, that getting laid is a most effective outlet when times get tough.
But if sex is such an effective calming agent, why aren’t we all living in an epicurean fantasy where we just get it on all the time? Most likely, it is because sex, just like everything else that’s good in life, has complications. In the same way that desserts cause diabetes and running begets bad joints, sex comes with the potential pangs of emotional damage. It could be argued that the danger of this side effect is a reason to never have sex again. Who wants to experience yet another heartbreak and subsequent rom- com marathon with a tub of Tom and Jerry’s and a bottle of Jack as your two best friends? Clearly, sex can be rough in more ways than one.
But the other day, when watching the new Rihanna video for “We Found Love,” I had a clarifying and comforting realization. The opening scene is of a hipster Rihanna and her Chris Brown look-alike in a dreary urban apartment. First glance tells us they have a fiery and passionate relationship with the dark tinges of alcohol and substance abuse. However, the video doesn’t come with a precautionary warning to keep away from the threats of love and sex. Instead, it has a simple message that good experiences are worth the baggage. Desserts are tasty and exercise is satisfying, but neither give you the intense, seemingly lasting emotional high you get from a sexual encounter – it’s incomparable.
So, while you stake your permanent spot in TC 22 or begin to recognize the faces of the night shift security at Robarts Library, don’t forget to take a deep breath and seek other forms of pleasure, like consensually falling on to someone. On some level, it may just lighten your load and allow for smooth sailing through this tempestuous testing season.

A rant against homophobic sexual education
By: Jonathan Scott
I was sitting in the Buttery the other day with Lauren Millar and Taryn McKenzie-Mohr. Lauren and I were reminiscing about our time working as student consultants for the Ministry of Education’s equity and inclusive education policy. I then vented about an incendiary flyer put out by a Conservative candidate in the provincial election.
The flyer claimed the Ministry wants to indoctrinate kindergarteners to be gay. It claimed schools should have mandatory pride parades. It claimed young children should be confused about their gender. It appealed to a latent homophobia: parents want to appear tolerant in the workplace but heaven forbid our kids should be allowed to be gay.
This kind of bullying, this kind of intimidation, this defamation makes me crazy.
So when Taryn said, “I can’t wait until I’m a lawyer,” I couldn’t help but agree. I love how Patty Hewes of Damages describes how she picks cases: “It starts with a seed of anger. I can feel it in my hands and my chest, and that seed has to be nurtured, cultivated until it grows into a full-blown rage. Then I know that I can’t turn back. I have no choice but to take the case because the rage doesn’t abate…Until someone is punished.”
That kind of “full-blown rage” is how I feel about politicians using sexuality and sexual health as a wedge issue to exploit latent homophobia in suburbia.
Teens are committing suicide because they fear coming out. But Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann still supports a gag rule on teachers who defend gay students lest it appear to normalise homosexuality. Our Catholic school boards are less callous but their actions may be no less harmful.
I’m running out of tolerance for people who use religion as a bludgeon. I’m running out of tolerance for people who take a faith founded on love for one’s neighbour but use its offices and officials to discriminate against love. It fascinates and appalls me how much the Church obsesses about sex.
Father Michael Judge was the first recorded victim of September 11th. There is a striking, moving image of him being carried out of the burning wreckage. The photo is called ‘An American Pieta.’ Fr. Judge was known as a priest who spent time with the homeless and destitute, the AIDS afflicted and the streetwalkers in Manhattan. He was a perennial headache for his bishop. He once said, “Is there so much love in the world that we can afford to discriminate against any kind of love?”
I’m finding my patience for homophobia in the name of free speech exhausted. The Supreme Court of Canada is hearing a case about a former male prostitute who was sentenced by a Human-Rights Tribunal for distributing outrageously vicious, homophobic flyers. The case will be a close one, as the justices weigh his right to free speech against the harms done through his slandering a group of people. Hate speech has a tricky litmus test, and it may well be that this individual escapes prosecution.
I increasingly feel like I’m left with little to do other than rant. That rage I mentioned is constantly simmering because I find myself with so few ways to make a difference: I’m not on a Catholic school board, I’m not working in the Vatican, I’m not a Supreme Court judge. Homophobia is banished to the closet at the U of T (and especially so at Trinity). Where in my sphere of influence can I make a difference?
I just wish people would take their morality and get it out of sex-ed classes. Frankly, at what point is removing a child from sex-ed class a form of child abuse? Would we allow a parent to remove their son from any other science class?
Schools should teach age-appropriate sex ed, and they should do so in keeping with the equity and inclusive education policy: all healthy forms of sexuality should be part of the curriculum. We wouldn’t teach gym class by only instructing students on how to be a goalie: we need wingers and centres and defense-men too.
All this now off my chest, I find it especially scary that my scathing attitude towards right- wing homophobes is equalled only by their disgust for me. And I’m really not sure what to do about thatsocietal disconnect and dislike. Perhaps that’s what is truly terrifying: a country is divided over love, of all things.

Crookes v. Newton and its implications for Internet freedom
By: Samuel Greene
On October 19th, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in Crookes v. Newton (Crookes) that posting a hyperlink to a defamatory website does not in itself constitute defamation. This decision was hailed as a victory for Internet freedom and the rights of bloggers. Students, who frequently use social media to view and disseminate hyperlinked content, have responded particularly positively. And yet, while I agree that Crookes does provide some measure of protection for free speakers on the Internet, the scope of its potential application has been either exaggerated or misattributed.
So what was Crookes about? Currently, to publish defamatory material is to commit defamation, whether or not one is the material’s author. The case, therefore, questioned whether a hyperlink constitutes publication. In the end, the court ruled that they do not; rather, hyperlinks are more analogous to footnotes since they simply make reference to another source, but do not repeat or copy it.
Supreme Court Justice Ian Binnie argued that applying a traditional standard to hyperlinks would place an undue burden on anyone posting them. The linker has no control over the content of the site they are linking, so it would be unfair to make them legally liable for it. Furthermore, the potential liability might dissuade individuals from posting links to controversial content, thereby precipitating a “chilling effect” on free speech. Protecting bloggers, Tweeters and status-updaters from legal action resulting from the content of their hyperlinks protects the free flow of information on the Internet. Hence the presumed victory for freedom of expression.
However, the protection of content linking that Crookes has extended is more limited than the blogosphere and mainstream media seem to believe. Some argue that this decision might serve as a precedent for cases in which copyright holders demand payment for publication of links to reproductions of their media. The implication of Crookes, so the argument goes, is that sites like HypeMachine – which aggregate music content through linking – would be exempt from liability for copyright infringement.
But Crookes does not extend an absolute protection to speech propagated by hyperlinking. Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin stated that “a hyperlink should constitute publication if, read contextually, the text that includes the hyperlink constitutes adoption or endorsement of the specific content it links to.” Music and video aggregation tends to much more explicitly endorse and adopt copyright infringement than do passive hyperlinks to defamatory content.
The Court clearly understood the Internet’s capacity for expression and information distribution, and that the medium has “tremendous power” to do harm. On that note, the Court is not endorsing an unrestricted right to hyperlink just any content. Indeed, in this case, the Supreme Court grappled with the profound problems posed by the Internet to traditional protection of information and limitations on speech; such approaches do not quite fit the realities of Internet communication and the expectations that people have about it.
As Madame Justice Abella writes, “Strict application of the publication rule in these circumstances would be like trying to fit a square archaic peg into the hexagonal hole of modernity.”
Yet advocates for Internet freedom should not read too much into the Crookes decision.Although it is difficult to come to grips with how to fairly and appropriately regulate speech on the Internet, it is obvious that some rules are necessary, and the Supreme Court will work to that end.
As much as Twitter users might like to believe that they have a right to write whatever they want, the world will be a worse place if they’re actually allowed to.

A Case for an New Alliance
By: Michael B. Menuck
Upon examining Canada’s continuing love affair with the United Nations, one can conclude that the population of the Great White North long ago descended into the darkest depths of madness. This organization, which brought into being hopeful proclamations of a new era of peace and prosperity for the world, long ago lost whatever respectability it had. It has since become little more than a stage for grandstanding dictators to give a veneer of integrity to their racism, oppression and, at times, insane ramblings.
It was this institution that in 2003 granted the chairmanship of its so-called Human Rights Commission to Libya, the chairmanship of the Security Council to Syria in 2002 & 2003, and most recently the chairmanship of the UN Conference on Disarmament to North Korea. To quote Planet of the Apes, “it’s a madhouse.”
The UN has become a hopelessly corrupted and morally bankrupted organization, funded by Western dollars and armed by Western soldiers, but catering to the whims of their enemies and, at best, turning a blind eye to those who would bring about their destruction. This is strong language, certainly, but given the UN’s recent decision to host an “antiterrorism” conference in Teheran where host Mahmoud Ahmadinejad entertained delegates for several days with tales of the “wicked West” and its “manufactured” tragedies of 9/11 and the Holocaust, totally justified.
To any person who prizes such values as freedom, security and peace – values the UN once could honestly claim to champion – the need for a new institution to carry the torch should be apparent. As Canada’s recent experience in Afghanistan has demonstrated, NATO is not the answer. It is an alliance from another age meant to combat another foe. Too many of its key members, including France and Germany, no longer seem to have the resolve needed. Other nations, including Greece, Italy, Spain and Iceland, remain too bankrupt, too politically divided, or simply too irrelevant in our globalized world to contribute much to the maintenance of world peace and stability. Nations such as Canada must realize what they should have when the Berlin Wall fell two decades ago: that NATO was an organization meant to combat the forces of Communist Russia in a world of two superpowers, not serve as the police for an extensively interconnected world.
While Afghanistan exemplifies how NATO cannot fill the void left by the UN, it also provides us with an idea of what this new alliance should look like. The nations who did step forward to answer the call of duty in Kandahar – including the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand – are united together by their commitment to such values as freedom, democracy and security. It is nations such as these which must now come together in a new alliance. Before anyone begins grumbling about how this would be a league of “old white men” it should be noted that this would not be the case. Indeed, it would be open to any nation who has demonstrated that they also possess the needed mindset. The only determining factor should be a shared commitment to such values as freedom, democracy, the rule of law, and equality and, more importantly, a willingness to secure and preserve them.
Presently, civilization finds itself under assault, seemingly from all sides, by the forces of tyranny, dogma and evil fanaticism. However, every past time the world has been confronted by these pressures, good nations have found the courage to come together to bear the burden of protecting civilization from the forces of barbarism and tyranny.

Will the real Paddy Tracy please stand up?
By: Melissa Beauregard
I met Paddy Tracy over Canadian Thanksgiving in first year. We had both been expatriated from the States and were stuck in the cold, desolate downtown Toronto core – sans pumpkin pie. As the weekend passed, we bonded over light-saber battles, and in the mornings, I would hear the soft erotic melody of his penny whistle drift from the quad and into the windows of the third Whitaker shower.
However, our brief first year soujourn had left me unsatisfied. In my opinion, Paddy is one of the most influential – and infamous – members of Trinity College. I couldn’t help it. My interest in powerful men with copious amounts of facial hair had left me with the deep desire to know more.
The place was the Duke. The beer was Steamwhistle. And two pitchers in, our conversation had devolved from Trin politics into games of ‘Marry, Fuck, Kill’ and ‘Would You Stay With Her If?’. It was a date to remember.
Melissa Beauregard: When did you start growing your beard, and are you hiding from something? Paddy Tracy: I’m hiding from the law.
MB: When you came to Canada, what struck you as a cultural difference?
PT: I would say Canadians are a lot more politically correct. Luckily, nowadays I found my own little group of people who don’t give a shit. That … and I guess bags of milk.
MB: For me it was religion. I know very few religious people here, which I found strange.
PT: Before I came here I was actually thinking of going into seminary, and then I decided against it. A big thing is I’m a Catholic, and I saw a lot of differences with their views on homosexuality and female clergy that I didn’t necessarily agree with.
MB: Tell me about Head of Arts elections.
PT: Hell. I had a great person to run against – David [Brayley]. My election was a little bit different, in that one thing Heads in the past have done is step down from [Episkopon], and I decided that I wasn’t going to.
MB: Do you worry that Pon affects your relationships with students?
PT: I guess my thought process both then and now [is] if I had left Pon, then I think I still would have had that taint. So the people who wouldn’t be comfortable with me, I still would have had that, ‘Oh, he was in Pon, all of his friends are in Pon.’
MB: I guess from my point of view, the biggest concern was -
PT: You don’t want to alienate anyone.
MB: Sure.
PT: Which is something that I think that everybody does by their actions. Some people wouldn’t
Will the real Paddy Tracy please stand up?be comfortable going to somebody because of other things. Like girls…going to [male heads] and guys… going to [female heads]. There are always going to be some things that people are uncomfortable with.
MB: Do you think there is a way to balance cherishing our traditions while still integrating into the larger community? PT: Having the animosity towards other colleges is something we don’t need. That being said, I like having our secluded college. Rather then building college bonds with U of T, maybe we should consider… build[ing] ties [with] Trinity College Dublin. Trinity College itself is a name. We don’t need the name of U of T.
MB: It’s no secret that you were opposed to the parade.
PT: Vehemently.
MB: Could you tell me why?
PT: The problem I had was having the bishop march in it. That decision should be up to the bishop. My boys over in Welch, I asked a few of them if they would … come up and carry [the bishop] in the litter. I also briefed them that they had to listen to only the bishop. It was a difference of opinion and of who should have the power – the bishop or the frosh exec.
MB: Would you be opposed to Trin Frosh continuing to participate in the parade?
PT: Yes, … because it’s an UTSU parade. I am personally against UTSU. Last year their elections were very un-democratic. If we’re trying to break away from them, but yet still marching in [it], it’s us marching in a parade that is run by what we can consider ‘the enemy.’
MB: You were talking before about your ‘Welchmen’. What is your affinity with Welch?
PT: I lived there my second year, and I just liked being a Welchman. I didn’t really enjoy Massey in my first year. In second year, it was nice because I had that community.
MB: What is your life’s ambition.
PT: I’d like to get my bartending license … maybe own a bar someday. Also, not to be a corporate sell-out, but I really want to work for Steamwhistle.
