DON’T BLAME SMUSA
I am a 5th-year student at SMU. As a proud Huskie, I am disheartened that this chant happ ened on our campus. It was inexcusable and devastating to the Huskie community. However, the negative media attention that has been directed at SMUSA and its president, Jared Perry, has been very extreme.
This chant is not the only one o f its kind on our campus es around the Maritimes. This act should be teaching us to look at the bigger picture, instead of pointing fingers at SMUSA.
In Perry’s interview on Information Morning, one of the many accusatory questions directed at him was: "How did you let this happ en?"
My answer to this qu estion is: "Look around!" Our media blast sexually charged images at our generation all day, every day. For example, the Halifax Transit system just released a new ad, "Do it on the bus."
This can also be seen as sexist and extremely offensive to some. These types of advertisements have caused people to make light of sexual harassment and sexism, not just at SMU, but around the world. This chant should not be excused, but I do not believe that Perry or SMUSA are to blame. Social behaviour and the media are to blame.
In my final year at SMU, I can still say I am proud to be apart of this community and I will stand behind Perry and SMUSA as they deal with the repercussions of this mindless act .

FROSH PERSPECTIVE
For the last few days, I have followed the stories of the St. Mary’s frosh song and very serious incident of racial intolerance at a Leon’s store. As most people, I was appalled, disgusted and oh, so ju dgmental.
As I was taking my early morning stroll, listening to my favourite mp3, "Blurred Lines," I was struck by the irony of my judgment. I think all thes e incidents make one thing clear: children, teenagers, young adults are not mini-adults. Their brains are at a different level of development.
Yes, we want ap ologies, shame and repentance. During these last few months, educators, politicians, bloggers, parents, etc. have been delivering the message louder, but it isn’t getting through.
We can throw all kinds of money and laws at thes e problems, but if the message isn’t appropriate for the audience, it’s just Blurred Lines . . .

Lessons to be learned from sex chant fiasco
SMALL SMARTS
Rachel Brighton, a freelance jour nalist and for mer magazine publisher, writes on industry, ethics, economics and the environment.
The ugly event at Saint Mary’s University has revealed the depth of the problem that Nova Scotia faces in confronting sexual violence.
It also points to the role business leaders can play in changing entrenched attitudes that may linger in their own workplaces.
S ome stu dents shamed themselves and their university by celebrating the idea of underage rape in a jubilant chant on a football field during orientation week.
It proclaimed that "Saint Mary’s boys" like sex without consent with under-age girls. A video of the chant was posted on the web.
University president Colin Dodds said in an interview Friday the university’s brand had been "tarnished" by the event, which generated widespread media coverage.
He also pointed to international ramifications.
"We have a very strong brand internationally and we are just about to go into the recruiting season," said Dodds, who noted the university is home to students, faculty and staff from close to 120 countries.
Specifically, the administration will need to "prove" its campus is safe for female stu dents and its classrooms are respectful.
"We’ve just got to win back that trust and confidence," he said. "It can be done. It has happened in many, many instances where companies have had an issue and addressed it and have bettered it, then they show steps how they are going to change."
He said the first step was "to apologize and admit that serious mistakes were made."
That has been done.
The president said the next step was to "get back to the values that we say that we espouse."
To that end, Dodds has appointed a president’s council of students, faculty and members of the university community.
Even prior to the frosh-week event, Saint Mary’s tried to tackle the matter, by having university staff and a police officer speak with student organizers "to impress on them the key issues of alcohol (and) sexual assault."
"Obviously the message was not received," said Dodds.
The provincial government has also responded to mounting concerns about sexual violence by p osting ads on bus shelters, calling attention to the fact that sex without consent is a crime.
That might b e a step in the right direction. But the ads alone won’t cut it.
As the frosh-week event shows, there is a deep-seated belief that sexual violence is not only OK, it is cool.
In the online video, at least as many women as men were singing and smiling about rape.
Peter Halpin, executive director of the Association of Atlantic Universities, said he expected the event at Saint Mary’s "would have a negative effect" and "an incident of this nature does not reflect well on any university."
He said the university "appears to b e taking all the right steps to try and repair any damage that has occurred."
Halpin said sexual violence, alcohol abuse and safe campuses were issues for all university presidents, who would likely take up these problems at their next meeting in fall.
He also figured this event would send ripples through the wider university community of alumni, governors and donors. Many of these are business leaders who also sit on company boards and whose opinions hold sway.
Along with Do dds, business leaders should acknowledge that promoting respectful attitudes in their workplace is their job — on campus or at the water cooler.
As university president, Dodds said he has star ted the ball rolling by accepting fu ll accountability for the stu dents’ actions.
"There’s no point in me saying it was a student affair," he said. "Ultimately, I’m responsible and I take that and I bear that and then we move on."

Heavy drinking a problem at most Canadian campuses: report
But many universities are taking measures to counter binge drinking.
by Rosanna Tamburri
It’s come to be seen as a rite of passage among students. Each year, along with the start of classes, are the inevitable pub crawls, keg parties and excessive drinking that often accompany frosh week events. But this fall, more universities are cracking down on these behaviours and putting policies in place to discourage binge drinking.
Excessive drinking is a common problem at most colleges and universities, sometimes precipitating incidents that make national headlines. St. Patrick’s Day festivities sparked a riot last March near Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. Two alcohol-related deaths at Queen’s University in 2010 led to a coroner’s investigation. And last fall, a student at Acadia University died of alcohol poisoning during orientation week.
Now, a report conducted in response to the death at Acadia says, "Harmful drinking by university students is a problem for most, if not every university." The report by the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness says, "The university environment has a significant role in shaping student behaviours, and as such, the campus context needs to be altered so that it does not support a heavy drinking culture." The report, "Reducing Alcohol Harms among University Students," was published in the spring and recently made available online.
According to one estimate, almost 90 percent of Canadian university students drink alcohol, while 32 percent reported drinking heavily at least once a month; the percentage was higher in Nova Scotia, at 51 percent. Men drink more than women but the gap is narrowing, the report said. A recent trend among young people is to mix alcohol with caffeinated beverages, which can exacerbate health risks associated with heavy drinking.
The study recommends that universities take a comprehensive approach to combat binge drinking. No single intervention, such as a public awareness campaign, is effective in changing student drinking habits, said Lisa Jacobs, the report’s author. Focusing on the individual drinker in a university context has a limited impact, she said, "because the actual drinking environment on campus supports, and in some cases promotes, heavy drinking."
Awareness campaigns are important, but universities also need to implement policies and controls in residences and campus bars and to work with governments and community partners to effect meaningful change. U.S. research shows that universities with the highest drinking rates tend to be in communities with high drinking rates. While no comparable Canadian data exist, Ms. Jacobs suspects the situation is similar here. "It’s very difficult for university administrators to change that drinking culture on their own," she said.
The report highlights best practices that Canadian and U.S. universities use to tackle the problem. Among them, Acadia University has partnered with its hometown of Wolfville, Nova Scotia, to come up with a community-wide strategy to address heavy drinking on and off campus. It is the only Canadian university to join the Learning Collaborative on High-Risk Drinking, a group of more than 30 U.S. universities and colleges that aims to identify and implement evidence-based practices to reduce high-risk drinking.
An advantage that Canadian universities have over their U.S. counterparts is the absence of a strong fraternity and sorority culture, which can contribute to heavy drinking, said Sara Lochhead, Acadia’s vice-president of enrolment and student services. Still, binge drinking remains a serious "public health issue" at Canadian universities, she said.

Many schools have taken measures to restrict drinking in student dorms, with a growing trend to make residences alcohol-free during orientation week. Western, Guelph, Queen’s and others have done so in recent years, and anecdotal evidence suggests the measures are working. Last year, Queen’s banned alcohol in its residences during orientation week, reduced the volume of alcohol that of-age students are allowed to have in residence and banned alcohol in residences’ common areas. Queen’s is also reviewing its campus alcohol policy and developing a new disciplinary system for violations.
University of Alberta recently announced a ban on drinking in common areas of its undergraduate student residences starting in September on a year-round basis. Last year, pathways below dorm rooms were routinely littered with broken glass from students tossing bottles out of windows and several drunk students, found lying in vomit, had to be taken to hospital. "It’s incomprehensible to defend a culture and a system that fosters and celebrates this type of behaviour," said Frank Robinson, U of A’s vice-provost and dean of students. The university is moving ahead with the measures despite vigorous opposition from students.
At the University of Saskatchewan, students launched the Student Binge Drinking Prevention Initiative last year. The research project, which evolved from a senior-year sociology class on addiction, recruits student volunteers to conduct surveys and focus groups. They plan to use the data to create an advertising and social media campaign to discourage students from binge drinking and to produce a how-to guide for other universities.
Carleton University controls who is admitted to its undergraduate pub and what can be served there. "Thursday nights were like fight night," said Ryan Flannagan, Carleton’s director of student affairs, as large numbers of non-Carleton patrons would flock to the pub. Carleton’s campus safety officers were routinely assaulted and Ottawa Police were often on site. When someone was stabbed six years ago, said Mr. Flannagan, "that was basically the last straw."
Since then, Carleton students must sign in any off-campus guests to the pub, and only one at a time. In the pub, there is a ban on shots, a limit of one pitcher of beer per person and no sales of pitchers after midnight. Regular meetings with student union representatives and campus bar managers review incidents to identify what went wrong. The changes, though initially opposed by students, have turned things around. "It’s dramatically different," Mr. Flannagan said. "It’s a safe place for students to go so they can have fun with their peers."
Carleton is now developing a broader alcohol strategy to address responsible drinking on campus, with built-in accountability measures, said Mr. Flannagan. He would like to see a marketing campaign to educate students on what constitutes responsible drinking. Behavioural change takes time, but past efforts have helped reduce rates of both smoking and drinking and driving, he noted. "We need the same type of effort to combat binge drinking by students."

Heavy drinking a problem at most Canadian campuses: report

Inside the war against risky drinking on campus
Mark Peterson/Redux
From the 2013 Maclean’s University Rankings
When outraged members of Pi Kappa Alpha at the University of Tennessee called a news conference in September to protest the suspension of their fraternity due to allegations of strange and excessive alcohol abuse, two words sprang to mind: Animal House. The news conference, immortalized on YouTube, is so unintentionally bizarre that it could be mistaken for an outtake from the subversive 1978 frat-boy comedy that launched a million toga parties and countless hangovers. The press conference—featuring a bow-tied, dead-serious Southern lawyer backed by an angelic legion of fraternity members in their Sunday suits—was called to refute allegations that one of their own, 20-year-old Alexander P. Broughton, had indulged in "butt-chugging" massive quantities of wine. While there was no denying that Broughton was hospitalized with alcohol poisoning after a night of fraternity drinking games, the idea of an alcohol enema is "repulsive" to Broughton, his lawyer said. "He is a straight man."
Lost in the general weirdness of that news conference is the fact that Broughton’s blood-alcohol level—"well over" 0.40 per cent, according to police—could have killed him without medical intervention. As for Animal House, one false note in an undeniably funny movie is that nobody dies. In the real world, alcohol abuse is a campus killer. More than 1,800 U.S. college students die every year from alcohol-related injuries, including vehicle accidents, and an estimated 600,000 are injured, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. There are no comparable statistics for Canada, but there are names and faces, and ample evidence of the impact of high-risk drinking—a plague that Canadian universities are determined to bring under control.
In September 2011, 19-year-old Jonathan Andrews died after a night of dormitory-room drinking games during his first week at Acadia University. He’d told his parents in Calgary his hope was to make as many friends as possible during those important early weeks at the Wolfville, N.S., campus. In 2010, two students died in alcohol-related accidents at Queen’s University. Cameron Bruce fell out of a sixth-floor window of the Victoria Hall residence during orientation week. That December, Habib Khan was killed after falling through a rooftop skylight at Duncan McArthur Hall. At St. Thomas University in Fredericton, rookie volleyball player Andrew Bartlett, 21, died in a fall down a flight of stairs in October 2010 after a team initiation party.
Then there are unquantified alcohol-related vehicle deaths and injuries, sexual assaults, accidental pregnancies, fights, arrests and academic suspensions. In March 2012, Fanshawe College in London, Ont., was thrust into the media spotlight after a booze-soaked St. Patrick’s Day party on nearby Fleming Drive degenerated into a riot, causing some $500,000 in property damage. Many rioters had no ties to Fanshawe, but the damage is done, says Zack Dodge, 25, student union president at the college. "Pretty much from March until now [the school has] been in reputation-recovery mode." The same can be said of Acadia, which is instituting a dramatic series of initiatives to shift student culture in the wake of last year’s tragedy. "Any school that says they don’t have alcohol as an issue is kidding themselves," says 21-year-old Matthew Rios, president of Acadia’s student union.
Schools are crafting strategies to reduce the harms inherent in high-risk drinking, but it is no small challenge to overcome student resistance to what many see as a rite of passage. For many undergrads, university is a chance to slip the parental bonds; alcohol is seen as taste of freedom, a symbol of sophistication, an essential social ingredient. "It is increasingly difficult in Western society to envision having a ‘good time’ without alcohol being a de facto requirement," writes Dr. Robert Strang, chief medical officer for Nova Scotia, in a report requested by Acadia after the tragedy, titled Reducing alcohol harms among university students: A summary of best practices. "University administrations have a critical role to play, not only because alcohol can damage a student’s life," the report says. "Failure to undertake a concerted, well-informed and sustained effort to address alcohol problems may also negatively impact a university’s reputation, academic ranking, operating costs, and relationship with the community."
No university seriously advocates alcohol prohibition. Some 85 per cent of students drank long before they reached post-secondary schools, says Ryan Flannagan, director of student affairs at Ottawa’s Carleton University. "With students, where there’s a will, there’s a way." It’s dialling back levels of harmful drinking that are the priority. Statistics compiled by Strang’s team show a third of Canadian university students drink heavily at least once a month. In Nova Scotia, where the general population has among the highest binge drinking rates in the country, 51 per cent of university students drink to excess at least once a month. Often the pattern of high-risk drinking—usually defined as five drinks per male or four per female in the span of a few hours—is set earlier in life. Newfoundland has the highest rate of binge drinking—30 per cent, among students Grades 7 to 12, with Nova Scotia second at 28 per cent. In Ontario, 22 per cent of high school students drink heavily at least once a month.
Young women are now drinking on par with men, though they are at more risk of sexual assault, twice as likely to be taking prescription medications that could interact with alcohol and more prone to "drunkorexia"—restricting food intake to save calories for drinking, the report says.
Of course university administrators’ admonishments and horror stories about drinking are often dismissed as just the ineffective bleating of yet more killjoy adults. Student buy-in is essential, though sometimes it requires a strong administrative hand to force the issue. Queen’s has banned its homecoming events since 2009, infamous for over-the-top partying that spilled off-campus and onto city streets. It joined schools like Western, Guelph and Acadia in policing a ban on alcohol in residence rooms during orientation week, and added a host of dry events to emphasize that a blood-alcohol level isn’t essential to university life. In a far-sighted year-round initiative, Queen’s operates a Campus Observation Room, "a confidential, safe, non-judgmental place to sober up," and a welcome alternative to a police drunk tank.
At Carleton, bingeing had turned Oliver’s Bar on campus into a "gong show," with campus security and city police regularly called to break up fights. "It was kind of like the Queen’s situation, where the pubs and parties had become so legendary that people from outside the [university] community were coming to the bar because they wanted to see the show," says Flannagan. The last straw came when a patron was stabbed—"with a pen, of all things," Flannagan points out.
The university, which held the liquor licence for the student-run bar, threatened to shut it down if the student union failed to restore order. After acrimonious negotiations, the union brought in a professional bar/restaurant manager and instituted measures in 2009 now becoming standard at many student pubs: student cards checked at the door by a card reader; a limit of one outside guest per student; no shooters; no beer pitchers after 12 a.m.; a limit of two drinks per person at a time; risk management training for bar staff. Since a "university generation" basically changes every four years, most of today’s students have never known anything else but the current set of rules. These days, Carleton’s student union meetings are largely positive affairs, where the biggest recent issue related to Oliver’s Bar was a need to better monitor the outdoor smoking area.
The most effective policies are crafted with student input from the start. At Fanshawe, enlightened self-interest has fostered a good relationship between the administration and student leaders. Unfairly or not, the riot tainted the reputation of graduates looking for jobs, students looking for co-op placements or off-campus housing, and alarmed parents, says Dodge. He and his executive took a lead in working with the administration, police and the neighbouring community. In fact, he recently took part in a conference call discussing measures to keep Halloween activities from going off the rails—both on and off campus. "It might as well be their parents telling them not to party if you’ve got bylaw officers and police officers rolling through," he says. "They want to deal with someone they can relate to."
Perhaps no school has responded as quickly and effectively as Acadia. Andrews’ death cast a pall over staff and the close-knit 3,500-member student body. Students and administration began formal meetings within weeks to look at alcohol policies. The provincial health ministry was commissioned to write its best-practices report. James Sanford, Acadia’s student director, sent a letter to parents of newly enrolled students this August outlining new alcohol restrictions, and urging them to talk to their kids about drinking before students leave home.
Acadia signed on as the only Canadian school among 31 U.S. colleges in the Learning Collaborative on High-Risk Drinking, an information-gathering co-operative launched last year to use evidence-based measures to assess prevention programs for high-risk drinking. As part of the effort, students at Acadia are answering voluntary, anonymous online surveys of alcohol-related experiences. Sample questions: Did you do something that you regretted? Did you forget where you were, what you did? Were you a victim/perpetrator of sexual assault?
Darren Kruisselbrink, a professor in Acadia’s kinesiology department, gathers data for the collaborative. Initially he found an unsettling number of reported sexual assaults, unwanted sexual advances and thoughts of suicide. While it’s too early to call it a trend, those serious impacts seem to have declined, while "I had a mild hangover" remains a perennial survey response.
Students are also more likely to report that they took responsibility for a drunken friend or urged them to stop or slow their drinking. That may be due to the Red and Blue Crew, a promising student initiative that began at Acadia this fall. Volunteers take a six-hour training program that teaches CPR, skills to identify medical emergencies, and techniques for defusing risky situations. Those who complete the program sport wristbands in the school colours of red and blue. "It’s a peer support network," says Matthew Rios, Acadia’s student union president. "It’s certainly not asking for prohibition," he notes. "If there’s an issue, or people are concerned about a friend, they can reach out to you."
Other Canadian schools are showing interest in the program. Perhaps it can be a legacy of a young life cut short. "Out of every terrible, horrible thing that comes up," says Rios, "there’s room to grow."

Controversy erupts at UBC over frosh week rape chant
11:03 am, September 7th, 2013
QMI AGENCY
The same week that a video showing first-year students at Saint Mary's University in Halifax chanting about non-consensual sex with underage girls surfaced online, students at UBC were singing a variation of the song.
The students at SMU sparked a firestorm of protest for singing, "Y is for your sister, O is for oh so tight, U is for underage, N is for no consent, G is for grab that ass, SMU boys we like them young," in a video that appeared online Wednesday.
According to The Ubyssey, UBC's newspaper, students participating in Sauder FROSH, a three-day orientation organized by the Commerce Undergraduate Society, chanted: "Y-O-U-N-G at UBC we like em young Y is for yourrr sister O is for ohh so tight U is for under age N is for noo consent G is for goo to jail."
FROSH co-chair Jacqueline Chen told The Ubyssey the chants have been going on for many years, and while the CUS had been chastized in the past for the cheers, the undergraduate society now works to make sure the chant stays private.
"We had problems a very long time ago with the cheers being public in a sort of way and the dean seeing," Chen said. "We let the groups know: if it happens in the group, it has to stay in the group," she told The Ubyssey.
Several students attacked Chen's position on the paper's site and one said: "Sounds like they're saying things would've been totally fine had it not gotten publicity. AND no apology offered. WOW."
In a public letter released to the Sauder School of Business and the UBC community Friday, the CUS pledged to eliminate bad behaviour at student orientations but did not apologize for the offensive chant.
The letter states that the society has "always held a no-tolerance stance regarding activities and behaviour that condone harmful actions towards our students in any way."
Assistant Sauder dean Pam Lim released a brief written statement saying that such a cheer would be "completely inconsistent" with the values of the school and the instruction FROSH organizers receive.

CANADA'S VOICE OF THE PEOPLE- SMU HEADLINES...
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
CHANTING IS MINDLESS
Re: the SMU incident . Nothing has yet been said regarding the nature of chanting itself. The essence of education is to increase a student’s capacity to articulate. The ability to articulate what one has learned is the test o f having learned it .
Chanting, of the sort SMU students did, is mindless repetition, in unison, of sing-song phrases. The excuse the students have given is that they were paying no attention to the meaning o f the words. Chanting, as a form of de-articulation, might be seen as the antithesis of education. Freedom of speech would include chanting, but by its inclusion, might perhaps overdignify it?

HARDLY A JOKE
A joke is NEVER a joke when you have to defend yourself by adding, "I was only joking." NEVER. Who composed the chant?

INDEFENSIBLE SPEECH
Re: Philosophy professor Mark Mercer’s defence of "free expression" (Sept. 6 letter). Ethical values make expressions of hatred and denigration of others morally repugnant and such expressions should not be sponsored by universities, business or government.
Should such organizations hold "open discussions" about whether it is all right to lynch Afro-Canadians, commit genocide against Jews, or beat gays to death?
As long as male-run establishments continu e to allow expressions denigrating and promoting violence against women , the epidemic of rape and abuse will continu e.
The case of Rehtaeh Parsons was equivalent to the lynching of a young girl — because she was female. If a white male professor does not recognize the damage of expressions encouraging violence against women , he is the one in need of sensitivity training.

SULLYING NOVA SCOTIA
Don’t overreact? The premier might want to rethink this suggestion in reaction to the stunt pu lled by Saint Mary’s students during frosh week. SMU has managed not only to su lly its own reputation, but that of the province as well. On the heels o f the Rehtaeh Parsons case, now there is this.
The premier says not to overreact. Yet last year, when the Dalhousie Women’s hockey program was cancelled mid-season because of a hazing incident, where were those sage words then?
Double standard? You bet.
The president o f the SMU student union ought to step down or be forced to step down, if only for the fact that he has admitted to not knowing what he was chanting. Seriously. Obviously, he does not have the smarts to be in any position of authority. How the heck did he make it to university?
A friend o f mine told her daughters last night they could go to any university they wanted to, except for Saint Mary’s. That, I think, says it all.

DON’T BLAME SMUSA
I am a 5th-year student at SMU. As a proud Huskie, I am disheartened that this chant happ ened on our campus. It was inexcusable and devastating to the Huskie community. However, the negative media attention that has been directed at SMUSA and its president, Jared Perry, has been very extreme.
This chant is not the only one o f its kind on our campus es around the Maritimes. This act should be teaching us to look at the bigger picture, instead of pointing fingers at SMUSA.
In Perry’s interview on Information Morning, one of the many accusatory questions directed at him was: "How did you let this happ en?"
My answer to this qu estion is: "Look around!" Our media blast sexually charged images at our generation all day, every day. For example, the Halifax Transit system just released a new ad, "Do it on the bus."
This can also be seen as sexist and extremely offensive to some. These types of advertisements have caused people to make light of sexual harassment and sexism, not just at SMU, but around the world. This chant should not be excused, but I do not believe that Perry or SMUSA are to blame. Social behaviour and the media are to blame.
In my final year at SMU, I can still say I am proud to be apart of this community and I will stand behind Perry and SMUSA as they deal with the repercussions of this mindless act .

FROSH PERSPECTIVE
For the last few days, I have followed the stories of the St. Mary’s frosh song and very serious incident of racial intolerance at a Leon’s store. As most people, I was appalled, disgusted and oh, so ju dgmental.
As I was taking my early morning stroll, listening to my favourite mp3, "Blurred Lines," I was struck by the irony of my judgment. I think all thes e incidents make one thing clear: children, teenagers, young adults are not mini-adults. Their brains are at a different level of development.
Yes, we want ap ologies, shame and repentance. During these last few months, educators, politicians, bloggers, parents, etc. have been delivering the message louder, but it isn’t getting through.
We can throw all kinds of money and laws at thes e problems, but if the message isn’t appropriate for the audience, it’s just Blurred Lines . . .

Exhibitionist moder n culture breeds excess. Any wonder?
MARY BOWEN
Well, the lines aren’t blurred for me. Miley Cyrus has blasted me clear over the line — beyond the pale, over the moon and I can’t keep my trap shut any longer!
But the Saint Mary’s University chanters (many of them young women) have pushed Miley off the front pages.
It seems to me our young men may be getting a bad rap. There, I’ve said it: Let the arrows fly. I do not condone rape or sexual assau lt , but I think the male teens often so accused are not wholly to blame. Miley’s performance at the MTV Video Music Awards and SMU’s chanting ladies convince me o f this, though I had my suspicions earlier. Some of the blame, too, lies with a society which, apparently, is content to see soft-porn on our TV sets in prime time, lumped in with the six o’clock news as though it were a normal part of our daily lives — which unfortunately it is. But back to our young men .
At a time when hormones are raging, near naked young women are constantly on parade. One has only to walk down any city street. Cheeks p eek out from under far-too-short shorts. Low-rise pants draw the eye downward. Midriffs are bare and cleavage abounds — to say nothing of what is available online! Why is this?
Our popular "entertainers" twerk (yes, apparently it’s a real word now) — bumping and grinding to sexy lyrics. Crotches are grabbed and backsides thrust into groins.
And we — parents and other members of society — do not raise our voices very loudly against this. Does anyone but me find it ironic that while we send our soldiers across the world (perhaps to die) to improve the status of women, some of our own are declaring that women are really not worth much after all?
Back in the day when dinosaurs roamed the prairies and I was a teen, there were names (which can’t be repeated here) for girls who paraded their wares and talked the talk, then wanted to bail when the car windows at the drive-in were thoroughly steamed and boys couldn’t have walked to the concession stand for the p opcorn if they ’d wanted to.
"No means no" is a catchy slogan, but is it really fair to spread out the goodies and then snatch them off the table at the last second when the bait is taken and the ho ok halfway down the fish’s throat?
Is it fair to expect hands-off status when young ladies themselves are chanting, "Use us; abuse us; do what you will"? Is this fair play? I don’t think so.
I’m not saying all our young people behave in risky and unbecoming ways. What I am saying is that too many apparently are. Bullying issues, it seems, are often fuelled by sexual activity, the proof thereof being cyber-circulated, whether by bystanders or par ticipants. Indeed, young women themselves send naked pictures to boyfriends who are happy to share the images.
Surely, we need to find out what’s behind this behaviour. Why don’t young women respect themselves? Why do they send naked pictures to ANYONE? Why do would-be New York City mayors di it?
We need to find out why our kids feel the need to engage in activities that belittle them and make criminals of them. We need to examine why we are willing to accept low standards.
We should be better than this. I know it s eems hop eless since we can’t (or won’t) control "social media." But maybe we can take one small step by cleaning up our public airways and by calcifying oversight spines on university campuses, in parents and in all of us who prize common decency.
Censorship? Maybe, if that’s what it takes! And while we’re at it, bring on the burka! "Letting it all hang out" doesn’t seem to be working for us.

SMU fiasco: Failure of leadership
HERALD EDITORIAL
Saint Mary’s University, its administration and student leaders have been harshly criticiz ed after an online video showed a group of students performing an offensive, sexist chant earlier this week at an event attended by some 350 freshmen.
The incident is a prime example o f a failure of leadership.
None of the student leaders involved had the wits to veto the chant, a ditty that condones rape and underage sex under the scarcely credible pretext of boosting school spirit.
SMU student Alexandria Bennett, a 2012 frosh week leader, says she complained to a students’ association staffer last year about the chant — and nothing was done.
Although the university had coached this year’s frosh week organizers on appropriate behaviour, including a police talk on sexual assault, it apparently didn’t take.
The university has been slammed for a lack of disciplinary action against student leaders, notably students’ association president Jared Perry. Mr. Perry has called the event "the biggest mistake I’ve made throughout my university career," attributing the incident to "the heat of the moment."
However, the chant — or a variation of it — has apparently been used at orientation week events, organized by the students’ association, since 2009.
Terming the incident an opportunity for learning, the university is requiring student leaders to take sensitivity training and attend at St. F.X. conference on sexual consent. At a university, where values of education, individual responsibility, independent thought, upright character and problem-solving are stressed, that response is preferable to more punitive measures.
The university has acknowledged that it failed to adequately oversee the week’s activities.
University president Colin Dodds, who first left response to the situation to his PR staff, has appointed Dalhousie law professor Wayne MacKay to head up a council to prevent sexual assault and promote respectful behaviour. MacKay led the recent provincial task force on cyberbullying.
However, that may not be enough.
Lewis Rendell, a student and board member of the university’s women’s centre that supports victims of assault and does educational programming, told CBC Radio’s The Current that the centre is "met with adversity" from both the students’ association and the university itself.
The situation is a public relations nightmare for SMU, which has overnight become the poster school for sexism and misogyny.
Although the university has work to do on women’s issues, the ignorance, sexism and insensitivity underlying the chant at SMU unfortunately exist on almost every college campus on the continent .
Leaders can’t eliminate sexism in the broader society, but they have a responsibility to try to make sure that everyone in the group they lead is treated with equality and respect.
There is at least one indication that women’s issues aren’t at the top of the SMU student union agenda.
The Canadian Federation of Students, noting that orientation week is critical in educating students about such issues, said Saint Mary’s has not participated in the group’s No Means No campaign for 10 years.
Given this incident, that decision should be reconsidered.
Mr. Perry, the guy at the top who knew about the chant but performed it nonetheless, failed to promote and model respectful behaviour.
During orientation week, "we . . . don’t necessarily look at the message," he said. But words have enormous power, something any senior student and leader at a Canadian university must understand.
Mr. Perry has resigned as chairman of StudentsNS, an association of provincial student unions. But that seemed a half-measure. His real failure was to the women at his own university, who deserve leaders who respect them and promote their interests. Given that, we welcome Mr. Perry’s decision Friday to also resign as president of the Saint Mary’s University Students’ Association.
Saint Mary’s students’ association needs a stu dent leader who can demonstrate good judgment and the respect for all students that the position demands.

Pro-rape rap far beyond thoughtless
GAIL LETHBRIDGE
glethbridge@herald.ca @giftedtypist
Gail Lethbridge is a freelance jour nalist in Halifax
Let’s call a spade a spade, shall we? Sex with underage girls who don’t consent is rape.
Chanting about rape in a public place and encouraging others to do so is inciting rape.
Rape is a criminal activity.
Ergo, the boys of Saint Mary’s University were promoting crime when they sang their pro-rape songs on campus last weekend.
And from what I could tell, they weren’t just singing. No, they were screaming it at the top of their post-pubescent lungs.
According to the stu dent union president and the university administration, it was a lapse of judgment and the students probably didn’t know what they were saying, and if they did, they didn’t believe it.
Once you get past the lameness o f this, ask them a few qu estions.
Would they have chanted about going out and smashing windows all over the south-end Halifax? What about a chant that celebrates mugging people on the streets and stealing their wallets? How about slashing tires? Or setting fires?
Lots of words rhyme with tire and fire.
No, they wouldn’t sing about that because those are criminal activities and wouldn’t be in keeping with the SMU spirit and brand. But cheering about raping underage girls — that’s OK, apparently.
The now-infamous chant is one of those rare moments when the velvet glove of sexual equality is removed and the iron fist of campus rape culture is revealed.
This is not some innocent lapse of judgment.
Stupid, yes. But not innocent.
If you haven’t already seen it, the chant spells out the word "young." (And if you’re offended by pro-rape rap, don’t bother reading the rest of this paragraph.) "Y is for your sister, O if for oh so tight, U is for underage, N is for no consent, G is for grab that ass, SMU boys we like them young."
Those lyrics didn’t just pop out of the air from nowhere. There was intent . And thought .
Someone sat down and took the time to compose the chant. It was probably a group effort over many beers. They will have typed it out and emailed it to campus orientation leaders.
Those leaders will have read the words, memorized them, practised the chant and taught it to incoming first-years.
The message to the sheep-like, slightly nervous, possibly overwhelmed frosh in their first week at university? On our campus, "no" means "you can have whatever you want, boys." And if you’re underage, watch out, girls.
And that’s before the booze is consumed.
If you can get beyond the message, you have to marvel at the sheer stupidity o f it .
Ding dong, people? Cellphones! They have video cameras. Videos can b e uploaded in s econds. And then it’s "hello world."
Did these student leaders — digital natives attending an institution of higher education — not think about the optics of this? Are they that ignorant of the social implications of pro-rape chants and the damage it could bring to their beloved university?
Did they not stop to think about Rehtaeh Parsons, the 17-year-old who died in April after an attempt to take her own life? Her mother says she was bullied after a picture of her sexual assault was circulated on social media.
And the administration’s response: shipping a bunch of students off to St. F.X. for weekend of "sensitivity" training? Sensitivity! What — so they can use more appropriate words in their rape chants? Or perhaps keep their voices down?
These kids don’t need sensitivity training. They need attitude lob otomies. And if this chant has b een sung on the campus for the past few years, then the university administration has been asleep at the wheel.
If Saint Mary’s University wants to take action, it should start by making an example o f the ringleaders. Susp end them for a week or two.
And then they should star t the conversation about this whole sad episode in college buffoonery and sexual bullying.

Society is awash in sexism, and the antidote is feminism
RYLAN HIGGINS
Editor’s Note
Rylan Higgins is a professor of anthropology at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax. His views are his own.
Examples abound. There is the tragic and well-known case of Rehtaeh Parsons. Statistical data on violence against women in Canada speak volumes. The media are saturated with it.
Blurred Lines and Miley Cyrus are only the most recent instances. There are the many utterances of Kevin O’Leary, or Amanda Lang’s sometimes playful and never adequate responses to him, or the regular and gratuitous objectifications of women on the Dragon’s Den. Then there is the most recent example, which took place at the institution where I teach, Saint Mary’s University. I am, of course, referring to the chant that has now been heard across Canada.
So what connects these examples? They are all symptoms o f a much larger issue that gets discussed far too infrequently. They are all the results of sexism, an atrocious force that shapes Canadian society significantly.
Are there places where it is more difficult to be a woman? Yes, without doubt, there are. But we do ourselves an enormous disservice if we allow such comparis ons to distor t our understanding of gender inequality in Canada .
As it is for any set of important issues, understanding the root cause is critical for finding solutions. Regarding the Parsons case, for example, the police have recently arrested two young men and brought them up on criminal charges for distributing child pornography.
In the Saint Mary’s case, student leaders will receive sensitivity training . One caller on CBC Radio One referred to the latter as a Band-Aid. She was right, and her comments could also be applied to arresting the two young men associated with the Parsons cas e.
What is the solution? To be sure, there is no one action or even set of actions. But one way to fight sexism is to promote feminism as vigorously and as often as possible.
I teach fo cus on feminism during the final two weeks in my introductory anthropology course. I am no longer surprised by the response from all but a few of the 200-plus students. The vast majority o f men and women neither support feminism nor understand what it is. I explain that it is the political movement to stop sexism. But even after two weeks of challenging stu dents to think about feminism in this way, few are convinced.
This is because it is at least somewhat too late by the time young people enter my classroom. We need to raise our children in an environment wherein feminism is a regular part of explaining how men and women shou ld relate, how women should be valued, and how equality of the sexes is possible.
Feminism needs to b e a priority for individuals, families and communities throughout Canada. We are all culpable for creating young people with sexist attitudes, and we all need to take responsibility for changing this. It will be a long and difficult battle; one-off measures will get us nowhere.
It has been said that Saint Mary’s needs to change its culture. Again, this misses the mark. The fact that the chant was caught on tape allows for great spectacle, so the media have to report on it (while simultaneously promoting sexism during other programming), and Saint Mary’s has to respond. But the culture that needs to change is the one in which we all live. Canada needs to change.
In fact, despite the chant and dissemination of the video footage of it, I believe strongly that Saint Mary’s holds much potential for fighting sexism and promoting feminism. There are programs and faculty at Saint Mary’s that constitute what could be called a dying breed — the liberal arts initiative in Canada. As one commentator recently explained, the goal of liberal arts institutions is "to par ticipate in the complex and infinitely worthwhile labour of forming citiz ens, men and women capable of furthering what’s best about us and forestalling what’s worst." Sexism is certainly in need of forestalling.
The fact that at least some of the stu dents attending Saint Mary’s are sexist is hardly surprising. Should there be consequences for recent actions? Absolutely. But let us not fool ourselves by confusing such repercussions for anything like a viable, long-term solution to the Canada-wide and highly troubling problem of sexism. And let’s remember that places like Saint Mary’s likely will play an vital role if, as a society, we choose to commit ourselves to fighting sexism, to promoting feminism.
The vast majority of men and women neither support feminism nor understand what it is.

University president Colin Dodds said he was shocked by the video and issued an apology on behalf of the school.
"I accept that I and the university administration have a role to oversee and guide student leaders. We failed in that responsibility," he said in a statement.
Federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay, who is a Nova Scotia MP, called the chant "offensive and dangerous."
"As somebody who has sisters, nieces who are currently in university in Atlantic Canada, it’s deeply troubling," he said
