The University of Waterloo kicked off its Di-versity Awareness
Campaign on Tuesday with its launch concert featuring KNaan, Jully
Black and Bedouin Soundclash.
According to the campaigns website, the goal of the campaign is
to help the UW community move from mere awareness and acceptance of
differences to understanding of those differences.
The events ran from September 27 to Septem-ber 30 and also
featured a spoken-word perfor-mance by K-OS and an appearance by
comedian Shaun Majumder, both in the Humanities Theatre. According
to Diversity Campaign co-ordinator Sarah Lewis, The people weve
picked to per-form represent the diverse background [that the
campaign seeks to display.]
The campaign is the brainchild of an array of campus
organizations, initially proposed by UW administration. Clubs
director Rick Theis said The universitys view is a proactive one
and hopes that the campaign will set the tone and ambience for
students to create networks of mutual support. Feds President John
An-dersen said that it seeks to broach the issue in an interesting,
fun, social way. In regards to how the organizers would know
whether theyve succeeded, Andersen said, You know when youre
successful when the level of debate goes beyond rhetoric and hatred
and toward understanding.
Of particular note has been the poster campaign which features
students chosen for their visibility on campus. Notables from Feds,
Athletics, Imprint, MathSoc, the administration and the multitude
of other clubs all appear on the posters holding signs expressing
features about
themselves. A second series of posters features photographs of
students and asks onlookers how they would label each person.
Lewis felt that it was a really impactful experience. It let me
connect with people like myself.
Theis was also optimistic about the posters impact, stating that
students approached them with questions and interest and
confusion.
As part of the drive to raise awareness of the campaign, free
wristbands were made available. The purpose of the wristbands is to
express a personal symbol of unity among the UW community.
According to Andersen, the campaign will be a continuous event
at Waterloo. He also notes the impact that the campaign has been
having on former students: We have alumni writing into the campus
from a time when racism was more prevalent.

UW student and brothers deaths ruled homicideSUV used in murder
found, but police say no suspect has been identifiedAshley
Csanadyspecial to imprint
A night of fun turned into a morning of tragedy for two
brothers, one a student at the University of Waterloo, when they
were struck and killed by an SUV on Friday, September 23.
Chandrasegar Nagulasigamany, 21, a UW arts student, and his brother
Soumiyan, 19, were pronounced dead at Grand River Hos-pital early
Friday. A third victim, Nirosan Thanabalasingam, a second-year UW
biol-ogy student, was released later that day with internal
injuries and is currently at home in Scarborough recovering.
Originally labeled a hit-and-run, the ac-cident was declared a
homicide after many questions were raised, making the deaths the
sixth and seventh homicides in the region this year. Waterloo
Regional Police have now determined that at around 1:15 a.m. an
altercation took place on Dearborn Place in the City of Waterloo.
Investigators believe that two groups of individuals met in the
area after a dispute at a local nearby nightclub, the Revolution.
The altercation led to three people being struck by a vehicle.
Police have no suspects as of now, ac-cording to Staff Sgt.
Adrian Darmon, but are trying to identify anybody involved in the
altercation preceding the incident and any parties involved in the
subsequent incident on Dearborn. Some of the parties suspected to
be involved are also believed to have come from the Greater Toronto
Area. The SUV involved in the accident was recovered on Wednesday,
September 28 and is being investigated by the forensic unit.
Chandrasegar was working towards a degree in arts and was also a
very involved member of the University of Waterloo community. He
was the president of the Waterloo Students Tamil Association
(WASTA) for two terms and a leader on the International Information
Committee for Humanitarian Relief (IICHF). He also organized a
vigil for the victims of the tsunami in Southeast Asia last
winter.

Wong and his team spent a lot of time
formulating the perfect background
and meshing it with the game. For the casual player,
this will be of little consequence, but the story is well
fleshed-out and
definitely will catch the eye of a diligent
