learned in Chicago By Brian Maclver Special to The Record Evanston, III.My time at grad school is almost half-way done, and my time in Chicago is even shorter now that I\u2019ve officially decided to finish up my degree in the Washington, D.C., program.While I\u2019ve only been here for six months, I\u2019ve learned a lot in my time away from the true north strong and free.So in a change of pace from my usual, highly intellectual articles, here is a list of five lessons that I learned (or had reinforced) since I\u2019ve been gone.5) Location, location, location Whether it\u2019s a sweet seat in the classroom, how many bars and coffee shops you have nearby or how long it takes you to get from your apartment to school, location is key in this life.I currently have a 10-minute walk to an \u201cEl\u201d station and am by Lake Michigan, it takes me roughly one hour and fifteen minutes to get to the downtown newsroom.That\u2019s definitely not ideal.But then again, I can get work done on the train (and by \u201cget work done\u201d I mean nap while holding my bag close to my chest) and there weren\u2019t 12 murders and 43 shootings in my part of the city over Memorial Day weekend, so, you know, silver linings.Which brings me to my next lesson.4) Always look on the bright side As I may have mentioned before, I had a tough transition.Not only did I get a Medill \u201cF\u201d on my first ever assignment, I also got brutally homesick.This is the first time that I\u2019m away from my friends and family for such a long period of time.I got a bit depressed, I wasn\u2019t really talking to anyone in my cohort, and was overall just being a sad-sap.But then something inside of me just clicked: I realized that I\u2019m not the only one that feels this way.We\u2019re all very lost, confused and scared out of our minds.And that that\u2019s ok.And that\u2019s when things got back on track for me: I stopped being sad and feeling sorry for myself, I still missed home also put things into perspective that I\u2019m living a great adventure right now, and I started talking to people who, for the most part, turned out to be great people.But if you spend enough time with the same people, things happen.Which is why you should (try to) always follow.3) The hamburger rule: Don\u2019t get your meat at the same place you get your bread.Because if you upset your butcher, you\u2019re ruining your bakery experience as well.Yes, this rule has to deal with interpersonal relationships.While it seems obvious, it\u2019s a lot harder to follow than you\u2019d think, especially given the circumstances.Not surprisingly, if a group of people spends enough time together, people are going to start to pair up.Usually with disastrous results.While I have not been successful at following this rule, I have (for the most part) been able to avoid the disastrous results.Not to say that I haven\u2019t had any fallout, but I haven\u2019t been the biggest loser of the bunch.And when things do go south, the key to survival is to.2) Stay with the pack (except when you can leave) Yes, when you break the hamburger rule, when sources don\u2019t call back, or when life just gets too rough, the pack will save you.I am not the first journalist to speak of \u201cthe pack.\u201d Tim Crouse, the journalist who wrote The Boys on the Bus, coined the term in his report on press behavior during the 1972 U.S.presidential campaign.His description focused on the journalistic safety of the pack, how every media outlet reports the same thing in order to look like they are not missing anything.The same basic theory applies to grad students: As long as you follow the pack, you won\u2019t miss anything important.You\u2019ll be safe.Then again, if you keep doing what everyone else is doing, you\u2019ll never stand out.That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to leave the pack every once in a while and take a risk, whether it\u2019s changing up your order at Starbucks or chasing the story that nobody else is looking for.And the last lesson that I learned since I\u2019ve been in Chicago is.1) No one is perfect, and that\u2019s OK This last lesson actually came from my dad before I left home.He knows that I hold myself to impossibly high standards and come down on myself hard went I don\u2019t meet them.He also knows that I apply the same standards to others and that isn\u2019t fair for anybody and usually ends up with me frustrated.I now take a big breath, swallow hard, and put on a smile.Either I\u2019m going to be a better person or end up with a bleeding ulcer.50-50.Brian Maclver is a Sherbrooke native, and graduate of Bishop\u2019s and Champlain, who is currently studying for a graduate degree in journalism at Northwestern University, where he has

speaking on behalf of the student perspective.\u201cStudent input is not always that accessible, so we\u2019re the accessible persons that (the school) use(s) to get what the student reaction might be,\u201d McLellan said, explaining that the council has representatives on a variety of committees, including \u201cTown and Gown.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re looking for more ways we can have students help keep the community that were a part of clean and safe,\u201d Robinson added.We try to emphasize that this is a shared space and we\u2019re lucky to live in a nice community.\u201d To that end, and in an effort to be better at communicating with the student body, this year\u2019s council has created the new role of director of communications and marketing.\u201cWe\u2019re excited for the support we\u2019re going to have from that role as we focus on transparency,\u201d Robinson said, expressing a hope that Tracey\u2019s new position will help improve two-way interaction between all of the various communities with which the council holds exchanges.\u201cOver the years we\u2019ve heard a lot of feedback criticising communications.We felt that having a director of communications and marketing would help clarify our messages.\u201d The members of the council executive also mentioned the fact that their meetings are open to observers and that they as individuals and as a council are open to all kinds of feedback.\u201cWe\u2019re open to being criticized,\u201d the president said.\u201cIt's how we remain accountable.\u201d Each of the members of the executive expressed a range of plans for the coming year that relate mainly to students, but McLellan highlighted an intent to find better ways to reach out to the school\u2019s part-time and adult students.\u201cWe have a really involved mature student group who are really interested in collaborating with me a lot more next year,\u201d she said.\u201cIts on the table to see how we can involve them more.\u201d Robinson, meanwhile, said that the council will work to engage students with the federal election in the autumn and involve itself with government negotiations regarding university funding to help speak on behalf of Bishop\u2019s.New Horizons Cont\u2019d from Page 1 appreciating individual learning styles, and expecting each person to aspire to their personal best.The centre has approximately 654 full- and part-time students over the course of a school year.According to the school, each student is assessed upon joining and given an individual learning profile that outlines academic and other goals to be met.This individual profile is updated as students write exams and obtain credits throughout the year.The students honoured last week were all at a point of reaching the end of their individual plans.Graduates were awarded certificates recognizing their having completed the steps necessary to acquire either a Secondary School Diploma, a General Education Development certification; their Secondary School Equivalency Test or their General Development Test.New Horizons student Jean-Paul Talon served as master of ceremonies for the garden- party themed event, which was also host to special guest speaker Matthew Robinson, the Bishop\u2019s student council president.\u201cWe all learn very differently,\u201d Robinson said, pointing out that unlike many enrolled in the centre, he has not spent much time in his life doing things outside of the school system.The 21- year-old North Bay native called the day \u201ca celebration of learning\u201d and a time to think about how to engage in lifelong learning.\u201cWe are so lucky to have these supportive environments.\u201d The ceremony otherwise unfolded with a series of awards for achievement, scholarships, and acts of recogni- tion for outstanding accomplishments.Musical and artistic performances were also offered by current students for their graduating classmates.First SharQc trial to start in August Record Staff Sherbrooke T|he first trial stemming from Operation SharQc, which brought down much of the leadership of Quebec\u2019s Hells Angels motorcycle club will begin on Aug.3 in Montreal, now that jury selection has concluded.Ten members in good standing of the Sherbrooke and Quebec City chapters will be brought to trial in August.The accused are Claude Berger, Jacques Dumais, François Goupil, Emery Martin, Christian Ménard, Louis Ruel, Yvon Tanguay, the brothers François and Sylvain Vachon and Michel Val-lières.The length of the trial has been set at 18 months, but it could be much shorter.This case has been dragging on for over six years.Two other defendants, whose mother tongue is English, will undergo a separate trial in 2017.All the accused face eight charges of murder and one of conspiracy to commit murder.Some remain in custody pending further proceedings.Operation SharQc was conducted April 15, 2009, targeting the Angels, produced 156 defen- dants and gave rise to talk of a \u201cmega-trial.\u201d Over the years, instead, most have pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of conspiracy and received sentences ranging from 12 to 25 years.A Quebec City member, Daniel Beaulieu, had charges withdrawn recently.In May 2011, 31 defendants were released, and eight accused are still at large.Serving the entire Eastern townships with three publications Jo-Aww Hovey Advertising Consultant RFCORD Townships Outlet Bmme County ~ r NEWS SI 9 569-9525 jhovey@sherbrookerecord.com Operation Backpack: Equipped to Learn BECOME A SPONSOR Operation Backpack is an initiative of The Record in conjunction with the Lennoxville & District Women\u2019s Centre and volunteers whose goal is to ensure every child in need starts the school year with a new backpack filled with school supplies.The committee is seeking sponsors to purchase a backpack and supplies, estimated at $75.The goal is to equip 85 children for the coming school year.To become a sponsor, contact Sharon McCully at outletjournal@ sympatico.ca IT TAKES A COMMUNITY While donations of school supplies form the foundation of our program, financial donations will allow the committee to purchase additional supplies.We are enlisting the support of the business community to become Bronze Sponsor: $150 Silver Sponsor: $375 Gold Sponsor: $750 Cheques can be made payable to the LDWC, 257 Queen Street, Sherbrooke, QC, indicating it is for School Supplies.Tax receipts will be issued.
