By Christie Brown Anything goes but clothesChronicle Staff earing clothes on this pub night was not an ac- Wceptable option. On Thursday, Sept. 23 E.P. Tay- lor’s on campus hosted the Any- thing But Clothes pub night and anything but clothes it was. The theme required students to think outside the box (and the closet) and fashion garments that were not traditional clothing. The night started off slowly with not a single costume worn by any pub goers until around 10:30 when two girls started the party. One dress was fashioned out of bright yellow caution tape, and her friend’s outfit was a strapless, duct tape mini-dress. Soon after, the pub started filling up with any- thing-but-clothes partiers. “It’s a really good idea, anything but clothes night, look at every- body!” Kate Pugliese, a pre-media student looks towards the stage where a group of dressed up girls are getting their photo taken. “We look ridiculous but it’s hilarious what some people came up with.” Costumes included garbage dresses held together with ribbon and some made a little simpler, Photo by Christie Brown just fabric taped together to create a dress. CLOTHING OPTIONAL: Wildly outrageous ensembles were shown off at E.P. Taylor’s Anything But Clothes pub night on Sept. 23.

Margaret Greenley, VP of Student Affairs for DC and UOIT, is currently work- ing on the project for students and feels it will be a great benefit for the school. ”We are very committed to providing excellence in customer service, that is the direction we are going.” The campus now has a number of different areas for student ser- vices. Whether it is administration, registration, financial aid, student life, student services or students are bounced around, Greenley says. “They go to one department and they need something so they have to go to another department, and then they have to come back.

Students who live near school are be- ing targeted by the city, which hired private security firm Group 4 Security, which pa- trolled the area and handed out about 200 tickets, mostly in noise and parking infrac- tions. The city typically gets an increase in complaint calls from the campus area dur- ing the fall. Oshawa is in the midst of recruit- ing additional bylaw officers and had to rely on the private security firm to fill the void despite knowing this season is generally busier. Parties happen all over the city yet secu- rity seems to be focusing on those occurring near the main campus. Some, like councillor Brian Nicholson, say it’s violating the students’ human rights. While it certainly does appear to be a form of discrimination, it mostly just looks like an easy cash grab for the city. Oshawa’s noise bylaw is from 1982. Parts of it were updated in 2005 when the maxi- mum fine jumped dramatically from $300 to $5,000. Instead of spending money on private security guards, the city should have town hall meetings to inform students and other party-throwers and parking violators of the bylaws and consequences of breaking them.

Representatives from Dur- ham Region’s eight municipalities headed to Queen’s Park Sept. 27 to discuss issues affecting Durham and to showcase local businesses, tourism and post-secondary insti- tutions with MPPs. Three of Oshawa’s post-sec- ondary institutions set up tables to educate politicians on how they are contributing to the commu- nity, the economy and the future workforce. Trent University recently moved off the shared campus with UOIT and Durham College to their own on Thornton Road. The school focuses on Liberal Arts degrees like English, History and Psychology. Trent aims to attract academics of the highest calibre. One of their marketing strategies is offering free tuition for students receiving grades of 90 per cent or higher. The school also puts an emphasis on operating dollars al- located to bursaries and scholar- ships. These are two of the ways the school aims to break down financial barriers for students wanting to attend. The school’s enrolment is currently around 750 students. “It’ll be great when there’s more Photo by Kyla Morgan (students) but for the moment, the unique value is it’s small enough to OSHAWA MEETS: From left: Oshawa mayor John Grey and Oshawa MPP Jerry Ouellette greet at Queen’s Park. really feel like a community with an identity,” said Peter Lapp, Trent September.

By Andy Shierson ChronicleCanada’s Staff navy turns 100 Three gunshots belch from historic firearms to welcome the HMCS Fredericton to Oshawa’s lakefront for the 100th Anniversary of the Canadian navy. Scores of people perch on the pier waiting for the colossal frigate to plunge her anchor into the wa- ters of Oshawa’s port. Cadets wait eager and at atten- tion while local residents line the docks like statues, motionless in awe of her size. Navy veterans stand patrioti- cally as the frigate stirs up a flood- gate of memories for one veteran in particular. He stares gazing up at the ship with his tattered blue and white navy uniform. He has a boyish face hiding beneath wrinkles that have gathered through time. His hat childishly tips off the left side of his head. “I was only 15-years-old when I joined the navy.” His name is Francis Peacock, but he insists on being called Frank. He stares upwards to the 16.4-metre frigate with his mouth somewhat open and a tiny grin. “It was a good experience, I had to grow up fast but the navy made a Photos by Andy Shierson real man out of me,” said Frank.

Style-savvy tweens and teens helped the United Way by strutting their stuff in a Pick- ering fall fashion show. On Friday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m., the Picker- ing Town Centre hosted its first annual Find Your Style, Flaunt Your Style fall fashion show. The campaign was launched Mon- day, Aug. 23, to help tweens and teens get a better sense of their style. The mall created a style lounge where teens could lounge, play video games, meet with style experts, get free hair and make-up tips, watch television, or just hang out. The lounge allowed a one-of-a-kind space for teens to visit when at the mall. At the lounge teens were also offered the chance to take part in a professional photo shoot. The photo taken would be turned into a version of a model’s “comp card”, and then a selection of those entries were cho- sen to participate in the show. They also had the chance to win a $250 Pickering mall shopping spree. After Sept. 5, 43 of the 600 teens and col- lege students that entered were selected Photo by Cassandra Turner to be in the fashion show. The show had a large turnout of about 100-150 people.
