BOBBY FOLEY INTERROBANG

1. Where is the ideal restaurant in London for a first date? You know what is my favourite place ever? I like Prince Al’s, it’s so fun. Depending on when you go it can be insanely busy, but I like their music — they have the most random music. One minute they’re playing Tracy Chapman, and the next it’s Coheed and Cambria. 2. If you could switch places with anyone in the world, who would it be and why? Craig Kielburger. He founded Free The Children and does Me to We, stuff like that. He’s so cool, and he’s not even 30 yet. He’s been everywhere and built schools and stuff like that. He spoke at one of our conferences, and you really want to listen to everything he says. 3. Where is the best place to eat on campus? I have this weird addiction to Out Back Shack food, it’s so good. They have quesadillas, they have these cheese bite things; I would eat anything they made at the Shack. 4. What’s your most embarrassing childhood memory? Oh my gosh, I probably have about 600. It wasn’t that I was a weird kid, I just didn’t think about things before I did them. Oh, I peed my pants once at school. My friends locked me in this wooden box, and I was killing myself laughing. I told them to let me out and they just laughed more, it was funny but horrible. 5. If someone forced you to get a tattoo, what would it be and why? I don’t know, it depends on where it was. Because if it was on my leg, no one would ever see it and I wouldn’t care. Otherwise, I’d probably get headphones. Big, awesome headphones.

What to know when you’re charged with a crime

LAW TALK Community Legal Services & Pro Bono Students Canada (UWO) 519-661-3352

No matter how minor, being charged with a criminal offence is one of the worst things that can happen to you. But if you or anyone you know is ever charged, here are four things you should know about the process. You won’t always be arrested Police officers don’t have to arrest you just because they are charging you with a crime, and quite often they won’t. For minor offences, an officer may give you an Appearance Notice – basically a piece of paper telling you what you are being charged with and the date and time to appear at court. Make sure you go to court if an officer has given you one of these; it is a criminal offence not to show up and a war- rant will be issued for your arrest. Sometimes you will be arrested For more serious offences, the charging officer will place you under arrest. The offi- cer must immediately inform you of what you are being charged with and read you your rights, a process similar to the “Mirandizing” of arrestees in the United States. The officer will not tell you that you have the right to remain silent, but you do have this right, which flows as a conse- quence of your right to speak to a lawyer. The officer must ask you if you want to speak to a lawyer and, if you say yes, must Knock, knock! give you an opportunity to do so as soon as reasonably possible.

Looking into the Knights’ season

JEREMY WALL INTERROBANG Last season, the London Knights were hardly the team we’ve come to be familiar with in the past few seasons, bowing out early in the first round of the OHL playoffs against Owen Sound after finishing with only 73 points in the regular season, just good enough for eighth in the conference. It was the Knights’ worst season since 2002/03, when they finished one point less at 72. Last year was a rebuilding season, but it seems like the Knights’ rebuilding plans may already be over.
