NEWS AND NOTES
As of Jan. 1, Thompson Arena
and the T.d. Waterhouse Stadium
no longer fall under Western’s
Housing and Ancillary Services,
having, as a facility, transitioned
to Sport and recreation Services.
The transition means better alignment
of programs and facilities,
said Therese Quigley, Sports and
recreation Services director.
“It really means much more
seamless operation between
facilities and programming, and
facilitated planning and hosting
of events, now that that unit is
embedded in Sport and recreation
Services,” she said. “Things
were good before – it’s not a
change as a result of a problem
– just a much more efficient way
of managing programs and facilities.”
All contacts remain the same
and there will be no service disruptions
of any kind as a result
of this transition, Quigley added.
dennis McPhee, Western Mustangs
football defensive coordinator,
is heading back to the CFl
for a third stint with the Hamilton
Tiger-Cats. He spent last season
at Western under Mustangs head
coach Greg Marshall, a former
Hamilton head coach. McPhee,
54, was with the Tiger-Cats from
1995-2001 (winning a Grey Cup
in 1999) and 2004-06. He also
coached at the university level, at
St. Francis Xavier and Waterloo.

dents at 550 North American colleges
and universities have participated in
the survey.
Starting Monday, a random sampling
of 6,000 Western students will
be invited to participate in the confidential,
64-question online survey.
Taking approximately 20 minutes to
complete, the survey covers areas
such as alcohol/tobacco/drug use,
sexual behavior, nutrition and exercise
and mental health.
The findings will enable Western
not only to track health trends on
its campus, but also make compari-
sons with other Canadian campuses,
said Nicole Versaevel, Health Services
health promotion manager. She
hopes the information can be used
to design evidence-based health
promotion programs and marketing
campaigns
“Hearing from our student community
will enable us to understand,
first-hand, the significant health priorities
of this population and assist us
to better tailor campus-wide health
promotion efforts and health and wellness
services,” she said. - Jason Winders
