Four Tim Hortons becoming fair trade stations
Locations will change following Tim Hortons’ decision to nix self-serve franchises
Cheryl Stone
NEWS EDITOR
Tim Hortons is about to have some
competition. Beginning in Septem-
ber, four of the self-serve kiosks on
campus currently serving Tim Hor-
tons coffee will be replaced with a
fair trade option.
According to Kevin McCabe,
associate director and financial con-
troller for Hospitality Services, Tim
Hortons is no longer willing to fran-
chise coffee self-serves, leaving stu-
dents in Althouse College, Elborn
College, Talbot College and the Ivey
building without their fix.
“It’s certainly something we have
been looking at for our self-serve
[locations],” McCabe explained. He
noted when Tim Hortons said they
were moving out, they actively
sought either a fair trade brand or
local chain to take their place.
Fair trade coffee is purchased at a
higher price than regular coffee,
often with the goal of enriching the
lives of those who are farming it.
The Little Red Roaster, an inde-
pendent coffee company based in
London, was one of the companies
approached with taking over the
newly available spaces.
“For us, it would be really great to
ease in with coffees and teas,”

the company, explained. She noted
the company had currently only
offered to provide coffee. It would be
up to Western’s Hospitality Services
to approve other products, such as
baked goods.
“Any opportunities we get, we’d
be willing to explore,” Gordon-Green
said.
“We went for a tour of the spaces
and our design people are working
on something.”
McCabe noted the physical Tim
Hortons locations continued to be
popular on campus and many of
them had just been renovated so
changing that space was unlikely.
“This is where we’re going to
start. Where we’re going to finish is
anyone’s guess,” Gordon-Green said.
She noted the organization had
been on campus previously as a cof-
fee sponsor for many charity events.
She also felt being a local company
motivated Hospitality Services to
approach them.
Currently, any agreement made
between a franchise and Hospitality
Services means Western is paying a
fee to use the franchise and includes
a royalty on sales. However, they do
not necessarily look for the most
ethical option.
“There’s still very few things that
are fair trade,” McCabe explained.
“There really isn’t any different

Currently, all residences have fair
trade coffee options. Starbucks,
Williams and The Spoke also offer
fair trade options.

While dumping your old, broken-
down computer monitors and tele-
vision sets on the curb may seem
like a convenient option, Carol
Hochu, executive director of the
Ontario Electronic Stewardship, is
urging students to consider other
methods as second semester comes
to an end.
The OES is an organization man-
dated by the Ontario government to
develop and implement an electron-
ic waste recycling program for con-
sumers and businesses.
“The whole goal of the program is
to divert waste electronics from land-
fills into safe and responsible recy-
cling programs,” Hochu explained.
Waste electronics often contain
hazardous substances that aren’t
dangerous while in use. But when
electronics end up in landfills, haz-
ardous components like mercury in
light bulbs or leaded glass can leech
into the soil, contaminating water,
land, and air.

Council, explained fair trade coffee
has been at The Spoke for several
years. He noted it was not the cheap-
est option for The Spoke to stock,
but many customers liked it because
of the taste.
“There’s always cheaper options,
“Electronics also contain valu-
able resources — like metal, glass,
and plastic — which can be
reclaimed and used again,” Hochu
noted.
There are currently 21 OES-
approved collection sites in London,
and Nicole Bakker, EnviroWestern
co-ordinator, noted InfoSource also
collects small electronics and cell
phones.
“Electronics recycling on campus
is mostly confined to these small
items due to EnviroWestern’s limit-
ed storage capacity, and the recy-
cling of larger items is mostly for
office appliances like old computer
monitors that some labs or universi-
ty offices will dispose of in bulk.”
But, according to Hochu, the OES
accepts roughly 44 broad categories
of electronics, including radios,
cameras, speakers, DVD players,
telephones, and turntables.
As it turns out, Londoners are
some of the most passionate e-
waste recyclers in the province.

stop. Over that two-day event [in
London], we collected over 35 met-
ric tons of e-waste, which is close to
five tractor-trailer loaders. Of the 14
cities we visited where we had a des-
ignated collection event, London
ranked number three,” Hochu said.
Bakker stressed the need for stu-
dents to recycle their e-waste, not-
ing much of this waste would other-
wise be shipped to places such as
Guiyu, China, where people work for
low wages in poor working condi-
tions, using acid, fire, and other
crude methods to extract the metals.
“It’s a continued call for actions
for folks on campus and beyond to
continue to participate in the pro-
gram, not only in the London area,
but across the province and wher-
ever they might be headed this sum-
mer,” Hochu concluded.
“Do the world a favour and recy-
cle your electronics.”

Student Legacy Challenge Wave, Spoke have
results presented tonight record-setting years
Gloria Dickie
NEWS EDITOR
After months of preparation, Mus-
tang’s Den is finally ready to hit The
Wave tonight.
Mustang’s Den is the University
Students’ Council’s solution to the
leftover $175,000 of unclaimed bus
pass refund cheques. The initiative,
known as the Student Legacy Chal-
lenge, asked students to propose
ideas on how best to spend the
money, culminating in the final pre-
sentation of ideas at The Wave in a
format similar to the television pro-
gram Dragons’ Den.
The approved ideas will be pre-
sented tonight — where students can
ask questions — and the USC will vote
to pass them on Wednesday night.
“A lot of things were rejected,” Pat
Searle, senator-at-large, explained of
the submissions.
“We rejected anything that didn’t
have a lifespan longer than a year,
because we wanted to see some-
thing as a legacy. We also didn’t
approve anything that was a charity,
or events that were offsetting the
costs of operating, because we didn’t
think it was right to support one
charity over another.”
He explained it was great when
more than one student presented
the same idea because it helped the
USC understand there was a legiti-
mate need for the initiative.
Overall, $37,732 remains to be
spent.
Mustang’s Den will take place
tonight at 7 p.m. in The Wave.

February 2010.
This year’s record profits are the
result of various changes to
increase efficiency in both estab-
lishments — with a main focus on
The Spoke’s menu.
One element of increasing sales
was trying out new menu items on a
temporary, rotating basis to see which
ones fared the best.
Rygier said the entire menu actu-
ally changed from last year, which
also provided a big sales boost.
“[We] took off a bunch of menu
items that were very hard to pro-
duce [and] didn’t have quick turn-
around time,” he said, adding they
were replaced with quicker options
like grilled cheese sandwiches,
which proved popular.
“What we’ve got down there right
now is, after a couple of combina-
tions and permutations, a menu that
works,” Rygier said.
The USC also pushed for consis-
tent programming. Rygier said cut-
ting expensive, unpopular events
made room for the current lineup —
live band karaoke on Tuesdays, Rick
McGhie on Wednesdays and Wired
Fridays.
During March, only two days of
the entire month weren’t booked for
events or USC programming.
Rygier also said debit machines
in The Spoke are becoming a reality.
The USC is installing machines this
summer that are also capable of
handling credit cards down the road.
“We’re going to finish the year
strong,” Rygier said.

Indescribable music from Comeback Kid

Lauren Chan
GAZETTE STAFF
Hardcore punk band Comeback Kid
has been playing shows together
since 2003. Eight years later, they’ve
got a pretty good grip on their career.
They tour for a good majority of
every year, and to them, it’s like liv-
ing on cloud nine. Minutes after
landing in Toronto front man
Andrew Neufeld took the time to
talk to the Gazette.
Comeback Kid just wrapped up
touring in South America and
Mexico and are about to start
your “Through The Noise” Euro-
pean tour. Is the band con-
stantly on tour?
Yeah, we just had our “Sick of It
All” tour through Brazil, Chile,
Argentina, Colombia and Peru. Sao
Paulo is probably one of our
favourite places — the crowd has
passion that is second to none. After
that we did four days in Mexico then
we walked across the border to San
Diego and got on a flight at LAX. It
was pretty awesome — it kind of flew
right by. We’ve always tried to be a
band that plays as many interna-
tional shows as possible. I think
we’ve played in over 40 countries.
Though the band is based out
of Winnipeg, not all the band
members live there. How does
that affect the band?
Two of the band members live in
Winnipeg, I live in Toronto, our bass
player lives in North Carolina and
our other guitar player lives in Min-
neapolis. We’re a band that’s on the
road eight to 10 months out of the
year so if we all lived in the same city
it would probably be the same thing.
We’d say, “See ya later,” for a week or
two then meet back up for tour.
When did you all come togeth-
er and decide to really take off
with Comeback Kid?
Our first practice was probably in
2000 and our first tour was in 2003.
I booked our first two-month tour in
Canada and the States; it was really
successful and we took that as a sign
that we should really focus on this
band. In 2004, we went to Europe
for the first time and realized that
our brand of hardcore could work
everywhere.
What about Comeback Kid has
changed since your debut
album, Turn It Around, in 2003?
I’d like to say the concept of our
band has stayed the same. We’re still
doing what we set out to do from
the very beginning. Obviously,
we’re older now and in certain ways
we’ve grown up. As far as our musi-
cal style goes, we always want to
take what we love from hardcore
and combine it with the influences
we grew up with. We try to take our
genre and progress it.
If you could describe your music
in one word, what would it be?
One word can’t describe it.
You guys have a lot of hardcore
fans. What makes a great fan
and what do you appreciate
about your fans?
If someone’s into our band I like it
when they actually want to talk to
you. It’s one thing when people just
want to take a picture of you and it’s
another when they’re actually inter-
ested. It’s cool when someone wants
some insight about who we are as
people or as a band.
Do you make music more for
yourselves or your audience?
Well, we want to make music that
makes us feel something. It’s going
to be what we’re into, obviously. On

Concert-goers at the London Music

indie rock-bands on Saturday night
with Dinosaur Bones and Hollerado
opening for headliner Tokyo Police
Club.
The opening set of Toronto-based
band Dinosaur Bones created a flur-
ry of activity in front of the stage for
some excited fans. The venue began
to fill as the audience trickled in, lis-
tening to the band’s mid-tempo
tracks and upbeat choruses.
The energy in the venue rose
considerably in anticipation for the
Manotick, Ontario band Hollerado.
A large group began pushing their
way to the stage when the band was
tuning up. It’s a rare sight to see an
opening band cause as much excite-
ment as the headliner.
The reaction was warranted. Hav-
ing only released their first full-
length album Record in a Bag last
year, Hollerado is one of the up-and-
coming bands in the Canadian music
scene. They were recently nominated
for New Group of the Year at the 2011

mental sessions and set off confetti

Fleetwood Mac —
“Go Your Own Way”
With a driving drumbeat, lush har-
monies and a swelling guitar
crescendo, “Go Your Own Way” is
one of the standout tracks from
Fleetwood Mac’s critically acclaimed
1977 album, Rumours. But what
makes the song so powerful is the
pent-up frustration lead guitarist
and vocalist Lindsey Buckingham
lets loose on this single.
He’d been off again, on again with
fellow band member, Stevie Nicks,
and their fighting during the album’s
production was a constant chal-
lenge. Meanwhile, vocalist Christine
McVie and bassist John McVie had
just divorced after almost eight years
of marriage and drummer Mick
Fleetwood was dealing with his own
drama after learning his wife —
thankfully, not a band member — had
an affair with his best friend.
In the end, “Go Your Own Way”
was released as the album’s first sin-
gle in 1976 and paved the way for
Rumours to sell over 40 million
copies. But with lines like “If I could,
baby, I’d give you my world/How
can I if you won’t take it from me?”

A notable feature of Saturday
night’s concert overall was none of
the three bands took much time to

The experience was more about the

Lasers
Lupe Fiasco
Atlantic Records
After a four-year hiatus, a series of
delays and supposed artistic com-
promise, Lupe Fiasco has returned
with his third full album.
In what was supposed to be his
last record before moving on to other
endeavours, finishing Lasers proved
a long and difficult process including
a protest at Atlantic Records head-
quarters by his fans. There were
whispers throughout production
that the balance of creative control
had tipped in the label’s favour.
This is evident on tracks such as
“Words I Never Said” and single “The
Show Goes On” where Lupe goes off
on being chained to a deal he does
not want to complete.
The album sounds like a record
company’s attempt to record a mix
of every hip-hop, pop-trend of 2010
and 2011.
In past efforts, Fiasco has been at
his best on tracks like “Daydreamin’”
and “The Coolest,” which featured
piano-string melodies mixed with a
live drum feel and a rapper flowing
about what he knows best. On
Lasers, he ditches that introspective
style in favour of Euro-club beats
and soaring auto-tune melodies.
Plainly put, his attempt at a tran-
sition has failed. It’s not that Fiasco is
trying too hard — it’s that he isn’t try-
ing at all.
Although he returns with the
expected politically-fueled rhymes
about everything from the war on
terror to Rush Limbaugh, the hiatus
has not been kind to the Chicago
rapper’s musical integrity. Fiasco
sounds as if he’s in pain from the
whole process and the album suffers
as a result.

We’re playing in Rum Runners,

It’s going to be a banger. The lineup
that we have on tour is awesome. We

We don’t get to play London too

Almost all of that is due to Perry.
He leads the league with 47 goals, and

But it’s been his play down the
stretch that has been inspired. He is
on a nine-game point streak and has
scored two points a game in that span.
He has 23 goals this year that
have either sent games to overtime
or won games for the Ducks. He is

The true definition of the most

be nowhere near the playoff picture.

returned to the title game.

Kaitlyn McGrath
SPORTS EDITOR
Six years, three Yates Cups, and
countless hours practicing — Adrian
Kaiser has many fond memories
playing football for the Western
Mustangs. But six years ago, it might
not have happened.
“I was originally going to go to
[McMaster] and then a couple weeks
before I decided, I changed my mind
and I was going to come to Western,”
Kaiser said.
Even then, football wasn’t in the
forefront of his mind. Kaiser wasn’t
actually recruited by the Mustangs
to play for the team, but after a sum-
mer of playing for the Forest City
Thunderbirds, Kaiser decided to give
football a shot.
After contacting Mustangs’
defensive co-ordinator Paul Glea-
son, Kaiser went to the football try-
outs as a walk-on, made the team
and the rest is history.
Of course after five years the
linebacker has experienced an
abundance of success with the Mus-
tangs, but Kaiser insists his favourite
memory of playing occurred in his
final year.
“This year when [Lirim Hajrul-
lahu] kicked that field goal in the
Yates Cup right at the end — that was
a rollercoaster of emotion, so that
was a good memory to have.”
Kaiser is referring to the last sec-
ond field goal that lifted the Mus-
tangs against the favoured Ottawa
Gee-Gees in the Ontario University
Athletics’ Yates Cup. The 26-25 vic-
tory gave Western their third cup
victory in four years.
As Kaiser approaches the end of
his career at Western, he has a lot to
be proud of. But for the self-pro-
fessed competitor, he is still leaving
Western with one regret.
“I wish we could have won the
Vanier Cup,” he shared. “The Yates
Cup for our football team is obvi-
ously special every time we win one,
but we have a bigger goal on our
mind.”
In 2008, his third year playing for
the Mustangs, Kaiser did get a
chance to compete for the Vanier
Cup. Unfortunately, the Mustangs
were overwhelmed by the talented
Laval squad and were easily defeat-
ed 44-21.
“That was kind of an eye opener
to our whole team in general
because we thought we were pretty
good that year and we got it handed
to us by them,” he said about his
team’s loss that year.
But the Mustangs would learn
from their mistakes as they got
another crack at the Laval Rouge et
Or this year. Despite the defence
standing tall, the Mustangs were
unable to overcome Laval. Even
with the loss, Kaiser doesn’t have
any regrets about the game itself.
“We played them our hardest and
I personally can’t say that I could
have done anything else in that
game, and I know that most guys on
the team would say the exact same
thing,” Kaiser said. “They were truly
a better team than us on that day by
two points which is tough to swal-
low.”
But what has been tougher for
Kaiser is knowing that his time at
Western has come to an end and his
football career has come to a close.
Kaiser will graduate teachers college
this year and intends to pursue a
career as a high school football
coach. But after five years, it’s going
to take him a little while to let go of
his playing days.
“I’ll miss being in the locker room
with the guys every day, just having
that time with them.”
Why did you start playing football?
In Grade 10, I was a fat kid so my
older brother convinced me to go
out and try out for the high school
team.
What does the football team do on
a Saturday night?
We like to go to The Ceeps, have
some food and have some drinks
and spend some time with our fam-
ilies right after the game, until about
9 o’clock when The Ceeps gets kind
of crazy then the dance floor gets
going.
How did it feel after you played
your last game at TD Waterhouse?
TD has been my home for five
years so it definitely has a place in
my heart every time I step on that
field. I was happy we won my last
game at Western so I think that if we
had lost it would have been a lot
more emotional.
Can you describe your relationship
with head coach Greg Marshall?
I’ve got a pretty good relationship
with coach Marshall. He coaches the Corey Stanford GAZETTE FILE PHOTO
offence and he’s also the head coach Just in case the Ottawa Gee-Gees weren’t sure who won the Yates Cup, Adrian
so he doesn’t yell at me too much Kaiser (#56) decided to tell them. Mustangs linebacker Adrian Kaiser celebrated the
unless I really make a mistake. Off team’s victory in the Yates Cup last November. He graduates this year, having won
the field he is an amazing person,
the Ontario championship three times and having won the Mitchell Bowl once.
he’s the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.
What is your funniest memory with
the team?
Twice the bus has caught on fire.
The one time the wheel caught on
fire, three years ago a couple of the
offensive linemen panicked and they
were jumping out the emergency
windows. Seeing a couple of 300-
pound guys trying to jump out those
windows was kind of funny.
If you could play another year at
