Kaleigh rogers mulTimedia direcTor The University Community Centre just got an expensive upgrade to its WiFi signal. So did Weldon and Taylor librarieseven though students may not have noticed. The changes are part of a $1.3 million campus-wide upgrade launched a year ago to boost internet and cellular signals over the next few yearsand theyre ahead of schedule. Westerns Information Technology Services estimates the internet upgrades will be complete by January 2013. The budget was re-focused to hit this project first, Debbie Jones, director of ITS, said. We analyzed the wireless traffic on campus and we picked the highest traffic buildings to do first. Were hitting the places where students congregate most because thats where most of the traffic is. She confirmed the UCC has already received the upgrades and all of campus will be upgraded starting with the highest traffic areas and continuing to the lowest over
the next 18 months. Wireless boosters are being installed in ceilings to strengthen the bandwith of the servers in order to make it easier for students to access the server, have faster service and support more students at a time. But the upgrades dont seem to be making much of a difference. I think it got a bit worse, Iris Hui, a second-year social science student, said. It takes forever and then it says I cant log in or theres something wrong with the signal. Hui isnt alone. Alisha Pardhan, a second-year philosophy student, was also frustrated with the connection in the UCC. Every time I would try to sign in it would just not let me sign in, Pardhan explained. It was a pain in the butt. Andrew Forgione, University Students Council president, was disappointed with the upgrades as well. I was told that it was going to be a lot better and its not, Forgione said. He wants to do what he can to change that. Im going to ask the
administration in the next couple of weeks, but as of right now I havent talked to enough students to get feedback. Lobbying for improved access was one of Forgiones platform points in last winters USC elections. But hes realizing now how difficult it is to achieve these goals. One thing Ive realized being USC president is that things take a long time at the University to get done. If I dont get it done this term it will be done the next year. Once you get elected, everything is already budgeted for, so its really difficult to push for new things that cost money, he explained. In lieu of improved cellphone signals, Forgione has fulfilled one platform pointYellow Cab will be installing direct taxi phone lines in the UCC next week. Still, hes waiting to see what can be done to improve the WiFi signals, since the current upgrades have fallen flat. Its a big issueI dont know if any other campuses have this issue, he said.

The centerpiece of the new lab will be a field emission electron microprobe, which is able to analyze rock and mineral samples on a scale of only a few hundred nanometres. It will be the only one of its kind in Canada, one of four in North America and the only one at a research university. Susan Truppe, MP for London North Centre, announced the funding. She emphasized the importance of supporting scientific research. Research projects like those being conducted by these researchers here today are taking place across Canada. This work plays a critical role in mobilizing Canadas science and technology advantage, Truppe said. These projects will help realize the full potential of our natural resources, ensure a cleaner, safer environment and create and help support many new, high-quality jobs.

FIt For a KING. the new student Life centre at Kings university college has been the works for six years and was primarily funded by donations.
were hoping to include an extension to the library space. But the decision was finally made when it was agreed that the new building would create the courtyard at the center of campus. The name of the space comes from Darryl J. King, an alumni of
the University. He made the largest donation in Kings history towards the building. Anybody who works in University development [] is very humbled when someone makes a donation like that, Sylvester explained. He noted it was common
for Kings alumni to donate back to the school. Other parts of the building will also be named after donors. Kings is inviting other donors to get in on the action, including having their names placed on seats in the newly-built theatre.
Sylvester said the ground breaking ceremony would take place in the spring. The building will be certified under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design system, making it the greenest on campus.

amber Garratt maNaGiNG ediTor Entourage may have come to an end this past Sunday, but thats not the last were going to hear of Adrian Grenier. The University Students Council brought Grenier, more famously known as Vincent Chase from Entourage, to Western Film Friday to screen and discuss his documentary Teenage Paparazzo. The documentary showcases the relationship between Austin Visschedyk, a 14-year-old paparazzo, and Grenier. After being photographed by Visschedyk, Grenier decided to turn the cameras on the paparazzi and explore their world through the experiences of this 14-year-old. Its crazy to see this young baby-faced boy vying for these shots amongst these big, burly guys. What you come to realize is that the world is not what it seems and that the lines are blurred, Grenier says. The documentary investigates the world of the paparazzo and the consequences and perks of media exposure through interviews with psychologists, historians, tabloid writers and notable celebrities including Paris Hilton, Eva Longoria and Alec Baldwin. This film was about making this one-way exploitation into a two-way conversation and that is what is so important, because
saywhat?
Hes a very, very charming guy. He puts the harming in charming.
we all have the tools to communicate through media, Grenier says. This was probably the most educational experience of my entire life. It changed the way I see the world entirely. Grenier set out to investigate the life of Visschedyk, but ultimately began to investigate peoples obsession with celebrities and the social cultural phenomena that is attached to it. What I learned from this whole process was the idea that people are now empowered by new technology and social media to contribute to the mediated landscape, to share their point of view and go from a passive state to an active state. I think it is a really exceptional time we live in, Evan Ferrante, Teenage Paparazzos co-producer and
Greniers cousin, says. The screening and question and answer period held at Western was part of Greniers Teenage Paparazzo Experience Tour. This is a non-traditional theatrical tour as a way to recoup some of our money, Grenier explains. Documentaries dont make a ton of money, unless they are blockbusters, but for the most part we are struggling. Teenage Paparazzo showcased Grenier on and off the camera as he appeared in the documentary and as one of the producers. Grenier is noted for his acting ability, but producing and directing is something hes passionate about. I have decided to make documentaries, because as an actor I feel very vulnerable disempowered almost because its hard to know if you are doing it right. But when you actually take the time and shape the story, do the research and the work, there is something comforting in that discovery, he says. I feel comfortable in that, having this film to share. I am rather uncomfortable with acting. Grenier fans shouldnt fret, as his life in front of the screen will not be coming to an end anytime soon. When asked if he is going to concentrate on filmmaking he insisted, [producing] doesnt pay as well as acting. But Ill do both. I think its good to be uncomfortable.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Im With You Warner Bros. After a five year hiatus, the Red Hot Chili Peppers return with their new album Im With You. Straying from their well-known sound, the band has a discorock feel in the opening songs Monarchy of Roses and Factory of Faith. Fans will be happy to hear they still bring a youthful ring to their musicsongs Dance, Dance, Dance and Did I Let You Know add an uplifting vibe. Brendans Death Song, a tribute to a friend of the band who passed away in 2009, is the hidden gem of the record. Although it begins with a more mellow sound, Anthony Kiedis tender vocals hit perfection over the acoustic instruments. Despite a few duds, Im With You has a diverse selection of well-written, catchy songs. Jesica Hurst

Director: Steven Soderbergh Starring: Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon, Jude Law Shaking another persons hand, opening a doorthese actions are so common, we forget they can pose serious threats to our health. Steven Soderberghs Contagion explores the infectious plot of a deadly virus. The film opens to the sound of a cough with several exchanges of drinks, money and handshakes. Contagion quickly builds tension while showing how fast disease can spread amongst a community. Unlike others in the disaster genre, Contagions plot is a realistic one, backed with a smart script and powerful on-screen talent. It does stay true to its genre with its fairly blatant political messages. After a trip to Hong Kong, Beth Emhoff (Gwyenth Paltrow) becomes the carrier of a virus. Her husband, Mitch Emhoff (Matt Damon) is taken into isolation immediately until doctors can determine his fate. The film brings in a variety of subplots. The story of Alan

Krumwiede (Jude Law), a blogger and conspiracy theorist who looks to expose the governments agenda with drug companies, unfortunately falls short, as he becomes an unlikable propaganda figure who really doesnt care about much more than himself. Another plot line follows the team of doctors played by Laurence Fishburne, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard and Jennifer Ehle. Together they aim to slow the epidemic and find a cure. Even with scientific talk shooting left and right, the script is easy to follow and provides enough information to not be confusing. Contagion has a clear political agenda. The initial start of the outbreak is caused by Beths trip to China, reminding that air-travel can allow diseases to reach new continents within hours. The films comments on the current relationship between the U.S. and China are focused on responsibility. Together they are responsible for the outbreakChina for its unclean environments, and the U.S. for its ignorance. Contagion is a well-executed film. At the very least, this film may convince viewers to wash their hands more frequently.

western mustangs head coach
rock basacco
competition as of late, scoring five of the six Mustang goals in the past four games. Haris is a phenomenal player. Were really happy to have him at Western. Were looking at him to be our general on attack. Hes very skilful, as he showed, Basacco noted. With so much expected of him, Cekic doesnt look to be cracking under the pressure. The pressure actually isnt too bad. I feel fine with it, Cekic explained. With Cekic scoring goals left and right, the Mustangs boast an undefeated streak with a record of 3-0-1. Along with the batch of new players, Basacco has implemented a new system of play to try and ease the new players into the Ontario University Athletics. The old system saw the Mustangs play in a 4-4-2 formation with two strikers,
four midfielders and four defenders. Now Western is playing a 4-5-1 system. Were hoping that having the five players in the middle in the 4-51 will give us a little bit more stability defensively until they get comfortable with each other, Basacco said. Because a lot of them are playing with each other for the first time, it may take a little bit from our attack, but we are trying to get as many people forward when we get possession. I think once the familiarity is there, I think we are going to do very well. Along with easing in the freshmen, the new system also helps the coaching staff see who plays best at each position. We were trying a new system out so it gave us an opportunity to try different players on different positions, Basacco explained. Cekic is no stranger to the 4-5-1 system, having previously played it on his club team prior to Western. With his new team playing so well together, Cekic has one simple expectation for the season. To make nationals is the main expectation, he said. This goal is echoed by coach Basacco as well. Well I mean, your goals are always to get to nationals. The program has good success getting to nationals, including last year, Basacco explained. It seems like Basacco has all the pieces of a winning team in place. If the rest of the season goes as well as the first four games, Basaccos expectations might become a reality.

They came through when we needed them. Centre fielder Dustin Saracini led off by getting on base before advancing to second and third on a groundout and single respectively. Ian Campbell eventually drove Saracini home on a single. Campbells hit would chase Guelph starting pitcher Brook Coatsworth from the game. Western would tack on another run when Kevin Annett came in on J.D. Hartnagles groundout giving Western a 5-3 lead. How it went down We knew it was going to be a wellpitched game and it would come down to who executed the best, Guelph head coach Matt Griffin said. Western came up with hits when they needed them. Guelph started the scoring in the second inning, but Western tied it up in the third on a bloop single by Campbell, his first of two RBIs.
I GUESS tHoSE GoLF LESSoNS rEaLLy PaId oFF. Led by their veteran hitters and a strong performance on the mound by their ace adam paish, the mustangs squeaked out a 5-4 victory over the Guelph Gryphons in their home opener.
In the fifth inning, mental mistakes by Western and good base running by Guelph allowed the Gryphons to take a 21 lead. After executing a double steal that scored a run, Mustangs catcher Matthew Antenello began arguing over the call at home while Guelph left fielder Peter Riccardi took advantage of Riccardis frustration by advancing to third. Although Guelph wasnt able to score, at the end of the half inning Lumley called his fielders in to remind them to stay focused. They get in this habit of playing summer ball where they lose focus
a bit, said Lumley. In this league its an 18 game season and every game matterstodays game could mean the difference between first and fifth place. We were a better team than Guelph today, but I didnt want that to slip away at all, Lumley said. Its a younger team this year and theyve got to learn from mistakes and they will. It was a lesson quickly learned as Westerns newfound focus propelled them to two runs in the bottom of the fifth to go up 3-2. Paul Lytwynec moved from third base to the mound as he pitched
the ninth. Guelph made things interesting, scoring another run to get within one before the final out. Although Lumley knows his team made some mistakes, he said they improved when they needed to and theyll only get better as the year goes on. They had little mistakes, but theyve done a great job. Weve already started to see them grow and by mid-season, theyll be at the top of their game, he said. The Mustangs next home game is September 18 at Labatt Park when they take on Queens Gaels in a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m.
in five years playing at Western, Bassaco said about the left back. Thats a huge goal for him. Just seven minutes later, Western midfielder Haris Cekic rifled home a free kick from about 35 yards out to score the go-ahead goal. This marks Cekics third goal in as many games. Its just a matter of increasing the overall performance for a full 90 minutes [...] We just cant get complacent and sit back because players such as Haris will take it to you if you give them too many opportunities, Laurier assistant coach Jarret Humphreys said. For the rest of the match, the Mustangs formed a defensive shell around goalkeeper Andrew
Murdoch. The change in strategy clearly stifled the Golden Hawks offense as they were unable to create any more scoring chances. Humphreys was quick to pay tribute to Westerns second half play. Weve got a fairly young team so were going to have our ups and downs. Unfortunately we did come close but didnt get the breaks today, Humphreys said. All the credit to Western they took advantage of their chances and we didnt. Murdoch finished the game with three saves while Laurier goalkeeper Brett Harrington chalked up three as well. With that win, the Mustangs continue their undefeated streak as they improve to a 2-0-1 record.
