RSU election official no stranger
Slate armies scream support at debate
The person in charge of this year’s election and an RSU full-time employee worked together at York
By Keith Capstick
The appointed official running this
ear’s Ryerson Students’ Union
RSU) election knows RSU staff aot better than you’d expect.
The Eyeopener discovered that
Fatima Sajan, the Chief Returning
Officer (CRO) for this year’s elec-
ion, was part of a York Univer-
ity Federation of Students election
with two members of the RSU com-
mittee that hired her.
The committee is made up of two
ull-time staff members employed
by the RSU, the Executive Director
of Communication and Outreach
Gilary Massa, and the Internal Co-
ordinator Casey Chu Cheong.
Sajan is in charge of mediating
he election and enforcing electionbylaws, handing out demerit points
nd collecting and counting the bal-
ots from voters.
According to an elections results
page on York University’s website,
ajan and Massa were elected on to
he York Federation of Students in
006. Massa held a counsellor po-
ition at Vanier College while Sajan
was a counsellor for Calumet Col-
ege. Chu Cheong was the CRO for
hat election.
When asked about her relation-
hip with Massa when they ran to-
ether in 2006, Sajan said, “I think
remember seeing her name and
seeing her at one of the meetings…
I didn’t have much interaction with
her at all.”
Sajan also said that she wasn’t
aware that Chu Cheong was theCRO responsible for the election.
“Oh, okay well that’s the first time
I’m hearing it,” Sajan said.
When she was asked whether or
not she knew Sajan during her time
at York, Massa said, “I [did] know
Fatima when she was at York, yes.”
According to the RSU election
bylaws, the CRO must be hired by
the current RSU president in con-
junction with an appropriate staff
member. But current president
Rajean Hoilett said it’s typical for
executive staff members to do the
hiring.
“It hasn’t been common prac-tice (for the president to hire the
CRO) for a while, but the execu-
tive committee ratifies the deci-
sion,” Hoilett said.
Massa maintained that Hoilett
is able to appoint her with the
duty of hiring the CRO, despite
the election bylaws not explicitly
reinforcing this.
“But [Hoilett]’s also able to ap-
point people on his behalf and
usually because the president
sometimes gets involved with par-
ticular candidates or elections,”
said Massa.
Sajan confirmed that during the
hiring process for her job as CRO
she dealt exclusively with Massa
and Chu Cheong.
“I don’t see what the concern
is. I am qualified for this posi-
tion,” Sajan said.Sajan said that during the hir-
ing process the only members of
the RSU she dealt with were Chu
Cheong and Massa. Sajan also
confirmed that during the hiring
process Hoilett was never pres-
ent.
When asked whether or not
he believed this relationship be-
tween Massa, Chu Cheong and
Sajan created a conflict of inter-
est for Sajan, Hoilett said, “ This
is the first time I’m hearing about
that. I’m not sure what the nature
of their relationship is.”
Massa said she believes that Sa-
jan was the best candidate for the
job and out of the four people who
applied for the position she was the
best choice.
“Not really,” said Massa when
asked about the potential for con-flict of interest. “She’s a profession-
al person, she interviewed like any
other person and is not a Ryerson
student so really has no stake in the
election.”
The RSU election bylaws call
for the CRO to work exclusively
with the Internal Coordinator to
hire the Deputy Returning Of-
ficer and coordinate advertising
for the election.
When asked about the hiring
process and her relationship with
Sajan and Massa, Chu Cheong re-
fused to comment on the record.
With files from Jackie Hong
upporters of both slates running
n the upcoming Ryerson Students’
Union (RSU) election clashed in a
acophony of clapping and ques-
ions at a pre-election debate for
xecutive candidates on Feb. 2.
The auditorium at the Student
Campus Centre was packed with
upporters for both Unite Ryersonnd Transform RU, with each side
rupting in cheers every time their
avoured slate was addressed.
Candidates for vice-presidents
operations, equity, education and
tudent life and events as well as
president attended. Josh D’Cruz,
who is running for vice-president
operations, was the lone indepen-
dent candidate.
The debate was moderated by
Chief Returning Officer (CRO)
Fatima Sajan. Candidates were giv-
n three minutes for a speech about
hemselves followed by three ques-
ions asked by audience members.
The first three people to the micro-phone at the end of each speech
were allowed to ask a question,
xcept when in favour of gender
parity. As a result, students ran to
the microphone in hopes of asking
a question.
According to debate rules, ques-
tions had to be for both candidates
but some attempted to circumvent
that. During the question round for
vice-president education candidates,
a student who said her name was
Laura began questioning Unite Ry-
erson candidate Zidane Mohamedabout his Facebook posts condon-
ing the shooting deaths of two po-
lice officers.
Current RSU President Rajean
Hoilett cut her off by saying ques-
tions had to be be directed at both
candidates, but Laura shouted back
that she wasn’t finished asking her
“question.”
Sajan reiterated Hoilett’s point,
at which point Laura asked Trans-
form’s, Cormac McGee and Mo-
hamed to explain their charac-
ters. Mohamed, who had already
apologized for his posts during his
speech, repeated his apology in his
answer.Question askers were not always
random members of the audience.
Ryerson Engineering Student Soci-
ety President Urooj Siddiqui asked
vice-president operations candi-
dates how they planned to balance
decreased student group funding
and increased fees. Siddiqui is run-
ning for a Faculty of Engineering
and Architectural Science director’s
position with Transform RU.
Another verbal scuffle broke out
during the bonus round when a
student asked Unite Ryerson presi-
dential candidate Pascale Diverlusand Transform RU vice-president
operations candidate Obaid Ullah
how they would proceed on the
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
(BDS) Movement. The campaign,
which aims to put political and
economic pressure on Israel in re-
sponse to its “apartheid” against
Palestinians, was adopted by the
RSU following a vote at last semes-
ter’s semi-annual general meeting.
Diverlus began to say that edu-
cating students more on the issue
was important when an audience
member shouted, “It’s anti-Se-mitic!”
Sajan asked the audience mem-
ber to escort herself out.
Candidates Cormac McGee and Mohamed Zidane answer questions from the floor.

A series ofunfortunatedates

Posters, emails and websites about
the upcoming Ryerson Students’
Union (RSU) election have been
riddled with errors.
As The Eyeopener pointed out
last week, election dates varied
between Feb. 9, 10 and 11 to Feb.
10, 11 and 12 in several emails
sent out to RSU members and on
sections of the RSU’s website. The
first set of dates is correct. Posters
announcing the RSU election nom-inations were open also listed the
incorrect set of dates.
The emails, posters and website
also inconsistently list the number
of director positions available.
The Eyeopener emailed Chief
Returning Officer (CRO) Fatima
Sajan about the errors on Jan. 27.
The CRO is supposed to “co-or-
dinate all advertising with respect
to each election (with the Internal
Coordinator),” according to RSU
election bylaws.
“Thank you for bringing this to
my attention. It appears as though
last years (sic) poster was re-posted
with the incorrect dates. The newone with the correct dates will be
going out shortly,” Sajan respond-
ed on the same day.
The 2014 election was held on
Feb. 3, 4 and 5.
A number of those posters are
still up around campus and as of
print, three are posted on the glass
of the CRO’s office in the basement
of the Student Campus Centre.
Posters for Unite Ryerson’s can-
didate Drew Silverthorn, who is
running for vice-president opera-
tions, say that Unite Ryerson has
“introduced more student diso-
cunts.”RSU elections are no stranger to
errors this academic year.
Posters and emails about the by-
election in the Fall 2014 semester
also listed inconsistent dates —
first, incorrectly, as Oct. 27 to 29,
and later as Oct. 13, 14 and 15.
Miscommunicationsmade the campaigning
process confusing
CORRECTION: In the Jan. 28 edition,
The Eyeopener published a story
titled “Student Affairs moving to SLC.”
The story said that five sections of the
Student Affairs department would be
moving into the Student Learning Centre
(SLC). This is incorrect. Only the student
learning support section will be moving
into the SLC. The Eyeopener regrets
this error.

Ryerson’s Big Sham TheoryByMohamedOmar
What do the Ryerson Students’
Union (RSU) elections and The Big
Bang Theory have in common?
They’re both shit-shows that
treat the audience like thumb-
sucking dolts.
The TV show believes its audi-
ence will always laugh at awk-
ward words muttered by a charac-
ter that looks like the lovechild of
Bono and Eugene Levy. The RSU
elections assume students don’t
care about how disgustingly awful
our annual dance with democracy
is carried out.
In late January, the RSU election
season started off as professionally
as a drunk gorilla in a boardroom.
From the beginning, there were dis-
crepancies in information given to
candidates and to the student body.
Bylaws weren’t followed. Websites
were bought and changed. Posters
were torn down, racist comments
appeared on others.
But the way that the election is
generally carried out — especial-
ly the hiring of its officials — iswhat’s truly a punch to the student
body’s genitalia.
The person officiating the elec-
tion, supposedly a neutral third-
party, was hired by a full-time RSU
employee — which is fine save for
the fact that they both worked to-
gether at York in 2006.
An election debate — which
wasn’t an actual debate but rath-
er a chance for each slate to see
who has louder friends — was
held on Feb. 2. Within hours it
won the World’s Dumbest Debate
award, handed out by the Mo-
hamed Omar Association. Thedebate had a limit of three ques-
tions for each position, resulting
in friends of candidates rushing
to the microphone to ask what
were mostly shitty, pre-agreed
upon questions.
A full opposition slate, like
this year’s Transform Ryerson,
is a rarity in this campus’ stu-
dent politics. Their platform isn’t
revolutionary by any means, but
then again the incumbent slate,
Unite Ryerson, is offering a nice,
fat dose of status quo.
The rarity doesn’t imply ability,
of course. They could end up being
even worse than the status quo.
But then again, almost any-
thing is better than The Big Bang
Theory.

Grabbing mad bag
Things keep getting stolen wheneople leave them unattended.
Two laptops, two bags and a
ackpack have been stolen from
he library because some poor soulrusted the decency of humanity.
Let this be a lesson to everyone.Treat the world like an airport andever leave your belongings unat-
ended. Especially in the Ryersonbrary because apparently it’s hosto a small den of thieves.
Banging in the library
There’s nothing sexier than a stackof books, fluorescent lights andhe glow of multiple LCD screens.
At least it would seem that wayince security had to break up two
people bumping uglies in the li-
brary on Jan. 19.Security checked to make sure
verything was consensual, es-
orted them out of the buildingnd gave them a stern, hard warn-ng. It is unknown whether theyhecked out any books.
Briefs&
groanersust jackin’ it
One time is never enough when
t comes to indecent exposure. Amale was reported jacking off inhe W71 computer lab on Jan. 19
nd on Jan. 20.The first time the suspect pre-
ended to try logging into the
omputers only to give up andtart jacking it while staring at hisictim. She walked away because
he is a sane human being. Theecond time the victim just turneder back and the masturbator
went away.
Banging on the bathroom floor
On Jan. 28, security came across
wo people banging like belliger-nt bunnies in a POD washroom
during a routine patrol. Consid-ring how often people get caught
boning on campus, it actually
doesn’t get much more routinehan this.
The couple were escorted out
of the premises and forced to fin-sh elsewhere. If you’re readinghis, we hope you ended up some-
place a little more sanitary.
tudent arrested for roof topping
A Ryerson journalism student
nd two other men have beenrrested by Toronto Police after“roof-topping” investigation.
Eric Do, 27, is charged withreak and enter and commit,
mischief under $5,000 and pos-
ession of break-in instruments.The three men are scheduled toppear in court on March 16.
BoG nominations now open
News Bites
Ryerson announced that the nominations for 2015 Board of Gov-ernors (BoG) and Senate are open between Feb 2. and Feb 6. There is
one staff position available for a two-year term, two faculty positionsfor a two-year term and three student positions available for a one-year term on the BoG. There is a faculty positon and one student posi-
tion on Senate for a two-year term and a one-year term, respectively.
New BA program announced
A new BA in the department of languages, literatures and cultures
(LLC) was approved at the Ryerson Senate meeting for Jan. 27. Thebachelor of language and intercultural relations (ILR) will allow Ryer-son students to major in multicultural literature studies in their original
languages, in what is the LLC’s first degree program.

Ryerson’s Vice-Provost StudentsHeather Lane Vetere will be going
to a conference hosted by the On-tario Committee on Student Affairs(OCSA) at York University later
this month to discuss sexual assaultpolicies in post-secondary institu-tions, according to Ryerson Today.
This conference will help “gener-
ate discussion that will inform theReference Group on Sexual Vio-lence established by the Council of
Ontario Universities,” states thepress release.
Lane Vetere was asked by Ryer-
son Provost Mohamed Lachemi tospearhead a review of the school’ssexual assault policies and how
complaints are dealt with on Nov.26, 2014. Vetere previously told
The Eyeopener that she has metwith a number of people, includingstaff members, students and Ry-
erson’s student unions, and spokewith them about their experienceswith sexual violence on the Ryer-
son campus.The review came in the wake of a
Toronto Star investigation that re-
vealed only nine in more than 100post-secondary schools in Canadahad a specific policy on sexual as-
sault on campus. Since then, sev-eral schools have adopted policiesor protocols; most recently, presi-
dents of 24 colleges across Ontariovoted to create a uniform policy onsexual violence on their campuses.

RSU elections kick off with mayhemAfter campaigning began at midnight on Jan. 28, the RSU election started to roll downhill into democratic disarray
By Brennan Doherty
The election’s first violation oc-
urred minutes after it began.
Transform Ryerson candidateNav Marwah noticed posters had
been ripped off of the community
boards at the Ted Rogers School
of Management (TRSM) around
midnight on Jan 27. Unite Ry-
rson posters replaced them.
TRSM policy requires all post-
rs to be approved — and if need
be, removed — by the Ryerson
Commerce Society (RCS). “The
only people who are allowed to
ear down posters are those who
re executives on the RCS,” said
Marwah.
After a week of campaigning,
both the Transform and Unite Ry-rson slates have violated faculty
or campaign rules in attempts to
way undecided student voters.
Marwah took pictures of the
ipped posters, eventually con-
ronting a number of Unite Ryer-
on candidates hanging up their
materials on TRSM’s third floor.
“When I walked by them … one
of the people that [is] running for
[TRSM] director actually came up
to me and said ‘Oh, how do they
look?’ And then I just stared downat the poster that was ripped,”
Marwah said. The candidate said
that RCS staffperson Natasha
Campagna gave her permission to
rip off expired posters.
Unite Ryerson presidential can-
didate Pascale Diverlus maintains
that this is standard procedure.
“Posters that were taken down
were posters of past events and
past dates, just like it’s done in ev-
ery other building,” she said. She
stands by the Unite Ryerson can-
didates, saying “If that’s what they
said they did, I believe it was what
they did.”All of Unite Ryerson’s posters
were stripped from TRSM on Jan.
28.
Osman Hamid, manager of stu-
dent engagement and business de-
velopment for TRSM, said they’d
been removed by RCS executives
for not having RCS approval
stamps, being posted across walls
(which is illegal in TRSM without
prior approval), and for having
barely visible chief returning offi-
cer (CRO) approval stamps. Noah
Parker, one of Marwah’s running
mates on the Transform slate,
had filed two complaints to CRO
Fatima Sajan on Jan. 28 regarding
these violations.
“Every single student in Ted
Rogers knows that if you want
to do something [to] put on the
walls, you need to get it stamped,”
Parker said.In an email to all candidates on
Jan. 29, the CRO disputed the va-
lidity of these rules.
“TRSM has always allowed
posters and banners to be placed
in the building for the RSU elec-
tion period once the TRSM post-
ing regulations have been fol-
lowed. No approval from the RCS
… is required,” she wrote.
But Unite Ryerson posters have
yet to return to TRSM as of 5 p.m.
Feb. 3 afternoon. Osman Hamid
admitted that any student could
have removed the posters.
“That’s also possible, but that’snot how it works,” he said. Any
one of the RCS’s 60 executives or
board members are authorized to
remove posters — and RCS has
openly endorsed the Transform
Ryerson campaign. A number of
Transform Ryerson candidates —
including Noah Parker and Nav
Marwah — are also running for
positions in the RCS and RSU
elections simultaneously. Andrea
Bartlett was once its executive
vice-president.
When asked if Unite Ryerson
will continue postering in TRSM,
Pascale Diverlus replied “No
comment.”Election bylawss themselves
have been ignored by the election’s
CRO, days into the campaign
season. The addition of an extra
TRSM director position on Jan.
29 directly contradicts a section in
article six of the RSU Bylaws that
states “The CRO shall determine
the number of student faculty di-
rectors and their distribution at
least 30 days prior to the date of
the election.”
In the same email, the CRO also
changed the rules about campaign
materials. Typically, the CRO
signs off on every single poster,banner, Facebook post or website
bio from all candidates to ensure
fairness. As of Thursday “…any
statuses or post, responses on all
social media outlets (Twitter, Face-
book, Instagram, etc) that do not
exceed 250 characters DO NOT
need to be approved by the RSU
CRO.”
Diverlus said that the CRO has
a lot on her plate at the moment.
“We do understand [that] the
CRO has to look through a lot of
different material and so there’s
going to be backlog and stuff like
that, but we’re understanding of
that,” Diverlus said.Transform Ryerson, however,
has complained about long wait
times for email responses from
the CRO — especially for poster
approval. Their campaign docu-
ments it all as a result.
“The integrity of the CRO
has been called into question a
couple of times on various mat-
ters and it’s getting really irritat-
ing,” said Alexander Waddling, a
Transform Ryerson candidate for
arts director.
“I have no issue with people
who disagree with me. You start to
undermine the democratic processand we’re going to have a damn
problem.”

Q&A withTomAnselmiBy Devin Jones
Ryerson grad Tom Anselmi will
bring his 15 years of experience
with Maple Leaf Sports and Enter-
tainment to the Ted Rogers School
of Management. The Eyeopenerwas able to sit down with Anselmi
and ask him about the role he will
be stepping into.
Q: How does it feel to be back
at Ryerson?
A: It’s been great so far. I have
a lot of memories of this school.
The expansion into the downtown
core has been staggering to watch.
Q: What will be your official
role at the university?
A: So I’m what is called a distin-
guished visiting professor and re-
ally I’m helping the dean in three
capacities. One, the development
of an MBA in sports marketing.
Two, assisting in the delivery of
a class on sports business. Three,
mentoring MBA students on how
to manage their own personal
brand, and what goes into that.
Q: How has Ryerson changed
since you’ve attended?
A: Well when I was here as astudent [it] was still a polytech-
nic institute. It’s grown into a
renowned city builder and a great
centre for technology and busi-
ness building. The things [Ryerson
President Sheldon] Levy has been
able to do during his time here not
only benefits the students and fac-
ulty but also the downtown core
as [a] whole.
Q: How long will your tenure
be at Ryerson?
A: Right now it’s for one year
and at the end of that period of
time we’ll see where things are at.
Q: How has the program beengoing so far?
A: We’ve kicked off the class on
Jan. 14 and it’s been going great.
We’ll figure out by the end of the
year the direction of the sports
program.
Q:Have you attended any Rams
games yet?
A: I’ve attended [hockey] games
over the years, even when I didn’t
have any official capacity with Ry-
erson. I imagine I’ll attend some
more throughout my time here.

Now the second-year libero is a
key player on the Ryerson men’s
olleyball team as it enters the
playoffs as one of the top seeds in
he Ontario University Athletics
OUA).
“Volleyball wasn’t very popular
t my high school … we usuallyhad just enough for a team,” Ot-
en said. “My friend just asked
me to come try out one day and it
went from there.”
That school was Medway High
chool in London, Ont., just a
0-minute drive from his home in
Delaware, Ont.
Football and rugby ruled fans’
hearts and hockey ruled the stand-
ings at Medway. Meanwhile, Ot-
ten quietly made a name for him-
self in the volleyball world.
After some time, a teammate
suggested Otten take a turn at
beach volleyball, which he says he
enjoyed almost more than the tra-
ditional game.
“It’s more intense because
you’ve got two players – you getmore opportunities to make con-
tact with the ball,” Otten said.
“It’s a little more interesting and I
enjoy it a lot.”
Otten balanced playing with his
club, London Fire, while also play-
ing beach volleyball with Volleyball
Canada’s Fulltime Training Centre
program before being recruited by
the Ryerson Rams and head coach
Mirek Porosa.
Now, Otten suits up for the
Rams on the court while study-
ing hospitality and tourism in the
classroom.
“Will’s a great kid, one of our
best players,” said assistant coach
Chris McLaughlin. “I think he’s
one of our team’s most improved
players.”There’s something to be said
about Otten “improving” on his
2013-14 rookie season, where he
led the team with 123 digs over 52
appearances, while the team went
all the way to the OUA Final Four.
Otten describes himself as the
steady player, someone who can
be relied upon to do his job, be re-
laxed on the court and help guide
his team to a victory.
After graduating from Ryer-
son, Otten hopes to play profes-
sional volleyball for “5-10 years”
and then move into some kind of
coaching role.
“I’d really like to stay in the
sporting world,” he said with a
smile. “It’s been my whole life for
a while.”

One of Dayvon Reid’s classmate’s
pots him walking on campus in
his Ryerson varsity gear. He askswhat sport he plays. When he tells
his classmate he’s on the badmin-
on team, his jaw drops.
No one expects a six-foot-one,
85-pound African-Canadian to
play badminton. Fellow players
have confessed to him that when
hey first saw him on the badmin-
ton court, they thought he was lost.
“They’ll come up to you and say
‘the first time I saw you [I was go-
ing to tell you] oh man, basketball
is over there,’” Reid says.But after seeing him play they
quickly realize he’s right where he
belongs.
Reid won bronze medals at
the Ontario University Athletics
(OUA) championships in men’s
singles and mixed doubles events
last season. He’s been named an
OUA all-star twice and was se-
lected as the Male Player of the
Year in the Ontario Colleges Ath-
letic Association when he attended
George Brown College in 2012.“He’s a real natural more [so]
than anyone I’ve coached by far,”
says Robert Fullerton, head coach
of the badminton team, who has
been with the school for more
than 20 years. “[He’s a] very in-
telligent and tremendously athletic
guy. He’s great to coach.”
Reid grew up playing soccer in
Jamaica but when he was 15 his
friend convinced him to try bad-
minton. After one match, he was
hooked. He couldn’t quit, no mat-
ter who tried to stop him.
“My family was completely
against it,” says Reid. ”The sportsyou play [have] to be a means to
get out [of] whatever class you’re
in … there was no money in bad-
minton so they were against it.”
Reid made Jamaica’s national
junior team two years later. After
that, Reid’s parents had to accept
his love for the sport.
You can read the rest of Reid’s
story, including his experience
competing in the 2007 Pan Am
Junior Games, on theeyeopener.

outbreak in the Sudan and the
other in the Democratic Republic
of the Congo, close to the Ebola
River that lent the virus its name.
The most recent and notable
presence of the virus, branded
he Ebola virus disease (EVD), is
aid by WHO to have started inate 2013, in the small town of
Meliandou, Guinea, where an
8-month-old boy died after two
days of high fever and vomiting.
Members of the boy’s family then
tarted to die. Then the doctors,
nurses and fellow patients. And
verybody in between.
It was on March 22, 2014,
according to the WHO
website, that the disease
was finally identified as
Ebola. While previous out-
gust and continuing for the rest
of 2014. The WHO website cred-
its the epidemic with more than
22,000 cases and 8,810 deaths in
total. About 3,000 cases and 1,910
deaths have been in Guinea. There
have been 10,518 cases and nearly
3,200 deaths in Sierra Leone.Nancy Graham, who received
a nursing degree from Ryerson in
2000, worked in MSF’s off-white
tents in Sierra Leone for five weeks
before coming home to Toronto on
Dec. 15. In the blistering heat of
the Kailahun district, she donned
her yellow Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) every day be-
fore starting her shifts as a nurse.
Along with two other people, she
would be assigned to one of eight
tents, with each tent lined with
he streets of Kankan, Guinea, where Tustin provided aid to Ebola patients. PHOTO COURTESY JORDAN TUSTIN
“You can only stay and look af-
ter patients for a maximum of 45
minutes to an hour,” she says. “Or
else you’d collapse.”
Even still, both Graham and
Tustin feel that their training
prepared them for their tasks in
a way that made them feel safe.Of all of the people employed by
MSF, Graham says 24 caught the
virus and about 14 have died,
none of whom were international
respondents.
But workers have found new
hope after what Tustin refers to as
a “no-touch New Year’s.” There
were fewer emails and trips to in-
vestigate suspect patients. At least
in Guinea, there was a decrease in
cases, leaving responders with the
impression that they had outlasted
the climax.
And people are surviving. Ev-
ery day. As the number of casesdecreases, hope blooms again in
West Africa.
Arecovering patient
clutches her transis-
tor radio in one of
the tents in Kaila-
hun. Suddenly, the
familiar tune of Céline Dion’s
“My Heart Will Go On” fills an
unfamiliar place. Graham starts to
sing, her voice muffled by her suit,
coaxing smiles from the patients.
“Even though I’m covered and
looking like I’m a space person,
they could see that there’s a hu-
man there,” Graham remembers,
laughing. One of the patients
speaks to Musa, a Sierra Leonean
clinical officer working in the tent.
“What is she saying?” Graham
Even though I’m covered and looking like a spaceperson, they could see that there’s a real person

breaks had usually taken their first
nd last breaths in Central Africa,
where institutions were familiar
with the disease, countries were
much less prepared for the battle
when the deadly virus raged across
West Africa. “Populations could
not understand what hit them or
why,” describes a WHO report re-
eased in January 2015.
In Guinea, there have been roller
oaster flare-ups and dips in the
number of cases over the past few
months, with the worst levels of
ransmissions starting in mid Au-
eight beds. Sometimes, she would
find her patients crying. Unable to
speak their language, she would
sit beside them — not too close to
their face, in case they threw up —
and put her arm around them. All
the while looking like a character
out of Breaking Bad.
Graham remembers the suit
as “a giant plastic bag over your
body.” Covered head to toe with
a hood, gloves and goggles, she
would take her suit off after an
hour in the tropical heat to find
her scrubs soaked with sweat.
asks Musa.
“She’s asking if we can dance
to the Céline Dion song,” she re-
members him replying.
“So Musa and I, both dressed up
in PPE equipment, started dancing
together.”
Despite such success-es, Tustin insists
that international
attention is crucial
until the modern
Ebola outbreak is history. For her,
this disease is only an indication of
a much more insidious problem.
“In countries without infrastruc-
ture, without resources, this could
happen all over again,” she says.
The lack of such resources made
it difficult for Tustin and her team
to do their job. It hindered their
progress and presented challenges
that would have never been faced
in Canada. “It might sound silly,
but even just being able to print
and photocopy is really challeng-
ing,” she says, adding that fuel for
trips to neighbouring villages was
also hard to come by.
“Without that international re-
sponse, none of those resources
or tools that are imperative to do-
ing your job and then ultimately
controlling an epidemic would bethere,” Tustin says.
“Our attention, our thoughts,
our resources really need to be over
there,” she says. “I think sometimes
that’s lost in our thoughts about
this epidemic, where we think
more about our backyard than the
people who are dying and suffering
and really needing our help.”
Sometimes, this help goes be-
yond expertise and dedication.
Sometimes, the mere presence of
someone like Tustin is enough.
She recalls stepping out of the
WHO car and into the red earth
of a small Guinean village. Un-der the hot African sun, she ap-
proaches two young children who
have just come back from a treat-
ment centre. They’re happy to be
home, happy to finally be Ebola-
free, happy to see her. She asks
them their names in fluent French,
aware that a group of about 30
people have left their mud huts
and gathered around them.
“It was nice to see the commu-
nity really welcome them back
because that can be a problem
if you’re an Ebola case,” she ex-
plains, her voice shaking. “It was
really wonderful to see these little
kids happy and healthy and ac-cepted by the community.”
In her happiness, Tustin forgets
the boundaries that have become
second nature to her. She forgets
the no-touch rule. The “social
distancing.” In a moment of raw
human connection, she puts her
hand up for a high five that the
kids eagerly return.
“I didn’t even think about it,”
she laughs. “It was such a great
feeling to feel like heroes in their
village and see everyone surround
them.
“I’ll never forget that moment.”

Film shows artist torn between two nationsBy Mikaila Kukurudza
For 15 years, artist Zinnia Naq-
vi waited to take photos of her
homeland; but after a single
hour of shots, it still wasn’t
nough.
Seaview is a 12-minute ex-perimental film at the Image Arts
Centre by the 23-year-old Ryer-
on alumnus. Initially a fourth-
year photography thesis project,
eaview reveals the truth be-
hind photographs Naqvi took in
Pakistan, her parents’ country
of origin.
Naqvi’s themes of “global-
sm, trans-nationalism and
identity,” mentioned in her bio,
are carefully placed through
her fourth-year photography
thesis.
The 2014 graduate created
Seaview when she shot beauti-
ful images of Karachi, Pakistan’s
Clifton Beach in 2013.Naqvi found that the authentic
story of the beach could not be told
through her photographs alone.
The premise for Seaview was in
place.
“I feel almost guilty present-
ing these photographs on their
own because of what is behind
the frame,” Naqvi said of her
experience sorting through the
still images. “It was almost
like me being disappointed in
myself.”
Before taking the photographs
in August 2013, Naqvi had last
been to Clifton Beach when she
was a little girl. She went back
at the age of 22.The series contains various
shots of brightly dressed cam-
els carrying children as they
are led by barefooted men at
sunset.
These striking photographs
felt strange to Naqvi because
they did not represent her expe-
rience and the lack of belonging
she felt.
“When you are trying to
translate cultures, there is no
objective opinion,” said Naq-
vi. “I didn’t know what kind
of project I wanted, or that I
wanted to make a film. I wasintending on going back a
second time [because] I
was so overwhelmed with all the
footage I shot.”
This simultaneously allows
viewers to become witnesses,
fully submerged in the distant
culture Naqvi encountered. Her
project developed into a piece
that combined still photos with
family footage and personal vid-
eos from her trip.
In terms of home footage, the
experimental film contains clips
of a family wedding in her aunt’s
Kawali music-filled living room,
her limited conversations in Urduwith her driver and their hectic
drive through the claustrophobic
streets outside of Karachi.
Naqvi said the film was diffi-
cult to make. She forced herself
to overcome her fear of releas-
ing such a deeply personal film
that highlights her insecuri-
ties with her cultural identity.
Naqvi found it hard to find her
belonging in the homeland of
parents.
“I was never really comfort-
able speaking the [local] lan-
guage,” said Naqvi. “To speak it
publicly was a challenge, to ex-
pose my discomfort.”
For some, the experimental
film reveals more about Naqvi’s
experience with each watch.
“I think I’ve watched that
piece 20 to 25 times now,” said
Sara Angelucci, the student gal-
lery coordinator of Ryerson’s Im-
age Arts Centre. “Because it’s so
rich and layered, a second view
reveals more nuanced details
that enrich your understanding.”
For Naqvi, the movie it-
self took months of reflection
and a lifetime of struggling to
identify with the cultures a part of
her life.
“I wanted to feel free at that
time,” Naqvi said in the film
about the initial shots shetook walking along the
beach. “But the actual act of
taking the photographs was
actually more stressful than I
wanted it to be. I think that is
telling of the place.”
The piece will be playing at
Ryerson’s Image Arts Centre un-
til Feb. 22.

Riot! Comedy made audience
members spill into the aisle
Jan. 28, packing nearly 100
people into the Bloor Com-
edy Club for their first show
of 2015.Riot!’s members said this show
was better than their previous
one last semester. The group
consists of students from the ra-
dio and television arts school
of media.
“The worst part [of doing stand-
up] is when you have that awk-
ward silence when a joke doesn’t
really fly as well as you want it to,”
said Riot! member and second-year
student Laura Del Maschio. “[But]
everyone was into it right away.”
Most of Riot!’s members were
inspired by personal experiences.
Third-year Anthony Gullace jokedabout a doctor diagnosing him as
being “sort of” allergic to peanuts
while second-year Victor Oly ex-
plained how he associated smelly
diapers with his sister as
a child.
“I never really realized how much
I only thought of my little sister as
a piece of shit when I was young-
er,” Oly said. “It’s funny looking
back at your thoughts when you
were younger and turning that
into a bit.”
Riot! has first show of 2015
By Justin Chandler Some Riot! members like Tay-
lor Patterson have trouble keeping
their antics onstage.
“There are a lot of times where
I say aggressive or douche-y things
in real life which I think are hi-
larious, which don’t come across
as well. But when I’m on stage,it comes across really nicely,”
Patterson said.
Second-year student Justine
Riches had her first performance
with Riot! on Wednesday, moti-
vated by fellow members to do
stand-up.
“[Riot! members] said once you
watch us do it you’ll be like, ‘Oh
this is totally something I can do.’
I 100 per cent agree with them,”
said Riches.
Most attendees were well be-
haved, but hecklers were louder
than what performers wanted.
“Hecklers are the worst part[of doing stand-up]. Sometimes
people just don’t know how
to keep quiet but that’s okay,”
said Oly.
Despite the commotion, Oly
enjoyed the show, particularly the
feedback after.
“The lights are blinding and
it’s hard to hear the laughter. But
afterwards, seeing everybody
smile and everybody walking out
of the theatre happy is
probably the best part,” he said.
Behind the frontlines of the Red Army
By Alex Downham
Soviet player Slava was also a political figure. COURTESY OF GABE POLSKY PRODUCTIONS
A Ryerson radio and television
rts student produced a documen-
ary on the hyper-politicized lives
of Soviet hockey players.
The film, Red Army, focuses
on the Soviet Union’s pressure onRussian men to “serve their coun-
ry” by playing hockey against
Western teams. Since the national
hockey team was a part of the
ministry of defence, fourth-year
tudent and associate producer
Dmitry Saltykovsky said they were
reated like soldiers.
“The players didn’t have Ka-
ashnikovs, but had a stick and a
puck instead,” said Saltykovsky.
The documentary, released in
May 2014, features interviews
with Russian hockey legends, par-
icularly Viacheslav Alexandrov-
ch Fetisov. Otherwise known aslava of the famous Russian Five
hockey group, the film retells his
ime playing for the Soviet Army.
“[The Soviet Union] funded
hockey] to display superiority,”
aid director Gabe Polsky.
According to Red Army, “the
best of the best” were picked from
hordes of boys eager to play for
he national team. Slava improved
aster than others. He said the
ame and his coach, Anatoli Tara-
ov “developed his patriotism”
and skill.
Slava was on Russia’s national
team from 1976 to 1989, winning
seven times at the World Cham-
pionship and Olympic gold three
times.
The Russian team succeeded due
to Tarasov’s unique chess-like strat-
egy, where passing was constant
and the whole team was involved
as opposed to individual all-stars.“Life in general in the So-
viet Union reflected that type of
game,” said Saltykovsky. “It’s
the [communal] way of life that
formed the playing style.”
But Tarasov was replaced by
Viktor Tikhonov as the Sovi-
ets’ coach and the team’s morale
changed. Slava and his teammates
were away 11 months a year,
training up to four times a day.
Red Army details how play-
ers “pissed blood” and another
couldn’t leave to say goodbye to
his dying father at the camp.
Slava grew tired of the national
team and went to the NHL in
1989. He struggled to go, receiv-
ing threats and was even beaten
by police. He also received insults
from anti-Russian NHL fans.
Despite Slava’s hard life, Polsky
said it was important to shed light
on past “Cold War-type darkness”around Russia in films on the era,
saying that “there’s a lack of un-
derstanding about the culture.”
“It’s a bittersweet history of
how [Soviets] lived,” said Polsky.
“It was terrible to live there but
there was still pride.”
Slava, like fleeing Soviets, re-
turned to Russia in 2001 to govern
the ministry of sport. Saltykovsky
said Slava did it because he loves
“the game and playing for the na-
tional flag” rather than politics.

Choo-choo Twain dewails
Lethal weapons and processedmeat products are finally having achild together.
A combination Arby’s-slash-gunstore will occupy the vacant street-level retail space in Ryerson’s new
Student Learning Centre (SLC),according to Buck One-shot Wil-son, founder of fun-guns.com.
“Meat and munitions, bud,what’s better?” One-shot Wilsonsaid during an exclusive interviewwith The Eyeopener.
“I couldn’t think of a more per-fect combo, really, I couldn’t. Mywife loves it, too,” One-shot Wil-
son said.This is the first store location for
fun-guns.com and will be called
Gunz R Us.“It’s a bit like a Walmart with
a McDonald’s — except it’s a
massive gun store with a built-in
Arby’s so you can power up andthen power shop for POWERWEAPONS!” One-shot Wilson
roared in between bites of a meatysandwich.
He said he also considered open-
ing a massive Arby’s with a smallbuilt-in gun counter, but that idea
was shot down.“Guns are more important,” he
said.Ryerson President Sheldon Levy
said he is uncontrollably excitedby the deal, and will be first in linefor the July 4 grand opening.
“What this campus needs ismore calorie providers and morefirearm distributors. That’s what
Ryerson should be prioritizing.We’re taking cues from our friendsdown south,” Levy said. “They’re
doing things right.”The Eyeopener is unsure of who
Levy was referring to at the time
of the interview.
