The EUS Donates $15,000 to Charity at OAP

On the last day of OAP, the OAP managers presented a cheque of $15,000 from the proceeds of OAP and OAP Lite to executives of President’s Choice, for the President’s Choice Children’s Foundation. See Page 6.

Engineering volunteers pulled together to run one of the most suc-cessful Open Air Pubs yet. Even with thousands of visitors, the beer kept pouring, the grills kept burning, and the music kept flowing. And that’s not to mention how the cleanup al-ways happened quickly, and setup and teardown went very smoothly.

OAP had some distinguished guests this year, including ex-

ecutives from President’s Choice. They were presented with a $15,000 cheque for the Presi-dent’s Choice Children’s Founda-tion as a donation from OAP Lite.

A bunch of great bands also played at OAP who are too numer-ous to name, but since they were so great, I’m going to do so anyway. OAP was graced by the musical styl-ing of Static Kings, Alexei Martov,

Another excellent season of Open Air Pub has come to close. It has been two weeks of great food, great drinks, great music, and great peo-ple.

There is nothing like relax-ing in Three Bares Park with some friends and a couple beers af-ter a long summer, and seeing what the engineers are able to do.

What you are reading is the first is-sue of the EUS’s newest publica-tion, The Plumber’s Ledger. It is filled with a variety of great con-tent written by engineering stu-dents, for engineering students.

From my experience writing for the Plumber’s Faucet, I have ob-served that engineering students often want to write or create some-thing which doesn’t really fit within the styles of the Faucet or Techno-philic, the two previously existing regular publications of the EUS. I thought that the EUS could use a publication to fill the gap between humour and technology writing.

As it turned out, my theory was correct that there is a lot of inter-est from engineering students in producing content for a publication like this. Many people signed on during the summer, and we were able to get enough content for the issue you are reading right now.

We had the bylaws passed for the Plumber’s Ledger in August, making it an official EUS commit-tee and publication (the bylaws will soon be made available on the EUS website). It is currently funded by the EUS, but we will ideally be-come funded by advertising when we become more established.

I have been amazed by the quality of the content I have seen so far, and I am eager to see what else is going to be produced. We have news, artwork, opinions, re-views, recipes, and photography;

and we have room for any other kind of content that engineer-ing students will find interesting!

With that being said, I hope you are all settling into school af-ter a long summer. Whether you studied, worked, or just looked forward to OAP and Frosh, things are about to get busy. For those of you who did OAP or RodeO-Week, you are lucky that you got to start the year off with a bang.

School can be a challenge, but that’s why an engineering degree is so valuable. Just remember to take some time to relax or enjoy some extracurriculars. Write for the Ledger, join a club, or show up at Blues Pub. The prime of your life shouldn’t be spent all on work.

Hopefully The Plumber’s Led-ger, along with The Plumber’s Faucet and Technophilic can help keep you entertained through-out the year. Keep an eye on the stands in the engineering build-ings, and feel free to sign up for one of these publications yourself!

Cheers,

David BaileyPublications DirectorEngineering Undergraduate Society [email protected]

The Ledger still needs lots of people to help produce amaz-ing content that will interest your fellow students. We will accept anything which can be put on pa-per and which your peers will en-joy. We also need people who can help do layout and graphic design.

If you would like to help on a reg-ular basis, send an email to [email protected], and we will tell you when the next meeting is.

If you would like to submit in-dividual content, you can email it to the same address. This is an ex-cellent opportunity for EUS clubs and committees, for event orga-nizers, and for anyone who doesn’t normally write or draw but who occasionally gets a great idea.

Some Guidelines:-Keep content concise. There is no strict limit, but 500-800 words is a good goal for large articles. Short content is welcomed too.

-If available, send relevant pictures with written content.

-For art, the file sent should have a high resolution. It may be in colour or black and white.

-Edit content thoroughly before submis-sion.

-Try to send more humourous pieces to the Plumber’s Faucet (not that we’re overly serious here), and technology pieces to Technophilic.

-Nothing libelous, hateful, or violating copyright law. You already knew that though.

Welcome Back Engineers & Architects!

It’s been a few months since we were all together, and it’s great to be back. Although we were scattered all across the globe this summer, the Engineering Under-graduate Society was busy preparing for an exciting year.

As an executive we met weekly to discuss every-thing EUS, our committee chairs prepared their com-mittees for the school year (often while continuing their services throughout the summer), OAP manag-ers were running around Montreal organising per-mits, food, drinks, and bands, and many students have been working on content for our various publications.

So, we’d like to share a few of the things we’ve been working towards:

RodeO-Week: Orientation week was a lot of fun. We hope that those of you that are new to McGill par-ticipated, had a great time, and got to see a bit of the EUS in the process.

Open Air Pub: For those of you who experienced it for the first time, the EUS brings OAP to campus to open and close every school year. We hope you all stopped by and enjoyed some of the great music, burgers, and drinks.

Beer Contract: To those that attended OAP you may have noticed a new beer selection. This wasn’t just a one-time thing, as we’re pleased to an-nounce a new contract with Sleeman Brewery. This includes Sapporo, Sleeman, Guinness, Unibroue, and various others. Stop by Blues Pub to check them out!

The Plumber’s Ledger: You’re reading it! The EUS wanted a new publication to expand op-portunities to student readers and writers to deliv-er content not covered by our existing publications.

G-Store Renovations:

If you’re no stranger to the EUS Mall, you’ve no doubt noticed the Nook—the alcove beside the G-Store. We’ve decided to renovate and provide a cafe-style area where students can socialise dur-ing and after EUS office hours. The plans are final-ised and this project should be completed in October.

MEDN Renovations: Plans are underway for renovations to provide more efficient space for our de-sign teams, and to accommodate the growing num-ber of clubs the EUS supports. Major projects like this are never as fast as we’d like, but having chosen a plan we should be finished renovations by next summer.

Engineering Tournament Commit-tee: A brand new committee aimed at helping Mc-Gill become more competitive and presenting stu-dents with more opportunities to exhibit their skills. ETC will be holding two tournaments per semester and will be open to all students. Expect more details soon!

We’ve got lots planned for this year that we’re incred-ibly excited about. In this publication, we’ll be keeping you informed throughout the semester about what we’re up to, and we hope you’ll join in to make EUS what it is!

Mech Madness is the annual trip hosted by the McGill Asso-ciation of Mechanical Engineers (MAME) to visit industries some-where in Ontario or Quebec.

This year we’re planning an awesome trip to Sherbrooke and the surrounding area. It will start on the morning of Friday, Septem-ber 21st, and wrap up in the after-noon on Sunday, September 23rd. We’ll be selling tickets near Frost-bite for the next couple weeks.

Sherbrooke is relatively close to Montreal so we don’t have to spend too much time travel-ling. We have awesome industries lined up, including IBM, and some great activities planned, such as

Want to have a role in shaping your first year as an engineering student at McGill? Join the U0 Committee! With the needs of incoming engineering students in mind, the Engineering U0 Committee (EUC) was created to plan social and academic events for U0 engineers and to address any issues they face. Last semester the U0 Committee held weekly CAPA parties in the Common Room to bring students together to work on their dreaded Physics assignments, a big end of the year study party before exams, and a social night at the bar Frappé.

Joining the U0 Committee is a great way to get involved with engineering – plan events, gain experience serving on a committee, learn how the EUS runs, and make some great friends. The EUC is open to all U0 students within the Faculty of Engineering. One member of the EUC will be elected to also serve on the EUS Council as U0 Representative.

Watch for the first meeting of the EUC to be held in the second week of classes. If you have any questions or would like more information, email

apple picking and a pub crawl.

In my first year at McGill, I was told to attend Mech Madness. They told me, “you’ll meet so many peo-ple” and “it’s a lot of fun”. I didn’t go, and I missed out. You don’t want to miss out. So come to Mech Madness. For good times, and awk-ward times. But mostly fun times.

Seriously, Mech Madness is the perfect opportunity to meet awe-some people with the perfect ex-cuse that it’s for academic purposes. So sign up and get a friend or five to come with you. You won’t regret it, and you won’t make the mis-take of missing out like I once did.

Come on Mech Madness!First Years:

PYTO, Blank Bullets, RIMES, Man Legs, Safe in Sound, Sound Ap-proach, General General, Ménage, Albatross, Thundermonks, The White Wedding, People and Space, Wilderling, Vinyl Hero, Jade House, and the indomitable Uzimon. They made sure the music stayed strong for nine incredible nights.

Another impressive part about OAP this year is that we once again passed our record for beer sold. A grand total of 2179 cases of beer were poured over the two week pe-riod! That’s 52 296 beers! Assum-ing 8 hours of pouring time per day and 365 mL as the average beer size, this means that 19000 L of beer was served at an average pace of 265 L/hr!

OAP also used up truckloads of ice and mountains of food. There were expenses of course, but things still sound good for the proceeds from OAP being able to support student services run by the EUS.

If you get a chance, make sure you thank the managers of OAP for running such a great event that is such a benefit for the entire cam-pus. It’s a tough thing to organize, but who better to than engineers?

New engineering students re-ceived a rowdy welcome to McGill Engineering with this year’s Ro-deO-Week. For four days the new McGill engineers hit the streets, bars, and beach in an epic dis-play of engineering superiority.

Events included a pub crawl, an insane party at the Montreal Sci-ence Center, the infamous Toga Party, a return to Beach Club, and much more. This O-Week lived up to the high standard of previous years, and it’s clear that the fro-shies had the time of their lives.

A shout out now to the Frosh Leaders, O-Staff, and Coordina-tors. The Leaders kept the Fro-shies pumped with their incred-ible energy, O-Staff kept things running smoothly, and the Coords made sure that everything was in place for the best week of the year.

Enjoy a few of these pictures, and keep an eye on the O-Week Facebook page for links to more!

After a wait of close to 4 years, this summer finally saw the conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed Batman trilogy. It turns out that the wait was worth it as he delivers a near flawless film (once again).

The scenario was excellent. It was a natural continuation of “The Dark Knight”, while bridg-ing the gap with “Batman Begins”. The third movie really transforms the series from two stand-alone movies to a continuous story.

The choice of Bane as the villain surprised more than one, myself in-cluded. However, Nolan makes it work by adopting many elements and visuals from Bane’s comic -first storylines. We can’t forget to praise Tom Hardy’s voice which sounds like a British Darth Vader.

The movie is best when viewed in light of recent events, i.e. the Oc-cupy Movement. Ultimately, what do Bane and Ra’s al Ghul want? To take back the power from the hands of the corrupt and filthy rich minor-ity and give it back to people! On that front, I found it extremely dif-ficult not to side with the villains

here, right until they try to nuke the city that is. On the other hand, what does Batman fight for if not for the status quo to allow Bruce Wayne and his rich friends to keep their train of life? So you want to side against Batman, but you can’t since well...he is Batman and still tries to save his city! Tough choice i n d e e d . . .

Now the negative. The negative actually has a name: John Blake. This is Nolan’s failed attempt at creating his own Robin. He tried to merge Dick Gray-son and Tim Drake together, but you get a character that does not belong there. Robin is an important part of the Batman mythos, which makes it is sad to see how the character was butchered. Grayson and Drake are amongst the DC Universe’s most be-loved characters and I have a hard time to see, given the direction of the character, why one of them was

not chosen instead of John Blake. Especially Dick Grayson, a cop who went from Robin to Nightwing to Batman, who seemed to fit per-fectly in the film. Now I know that the movies are a pure adaptation of the comics and are not canon, but

all of the charac-ters are real Bat-man characters, except for John Blake. I am afraid this leaves a

deep stain on the legacy of the film.

Overall, this is an excellent movie, well written and well acted and directed, which stays close to the source material. Howev-er, it committed a cardinal sin of comic books adaptation: to cre-ate a new character to replace an already well established one.

The Dark Knight Rises

What does Batman represent if not the status quo?

Ingredients- 4 to 5 beets, unpeeled, rinsed

- 1 cup chocolate-covered coffee beans

- ¼ cup hot espresso

- 7 oz butter, at room temperature, cubed

- 1 cup flour

- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder

- 5 large eggs, separated, at room temperature

- 1 cup sugar

- pinch of salt

Preparation1. Butter an 8-inch pan.

2. Boil the beets in salted water until they are very tender. Drain and then rinse them with cold water. When they are cool enough to handle, slip off the peels, cut them into chunks, and grind them in a food proces sor / blender until a coarse puree is obtained.

3. Preheat the oven to 350 oF.

4. Melt the butter in the hot espresso.

5. Sift together the flour, the cocoa powder and the baking powder in a separate bowl.

6. Stir the egg yolks into the butter and espresso mixture. Fold in the beets.

7. Whip the egg white until they are stiff (make peaks when you pull the beaters upwards out of the egg whites). Fold them into the melted butter – espresso mixture.

8. Fold in the dry mix.

9. When the batter is well-mixed, stir in the chocolate-covered coffee beans.

10. Scrape the batter into a prepared pan. Bake the cake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the cake is just a bit wobbly. Do not over bake.

For some extra goodness- leave the beets in larger chunks so that when the cake is baked, you will bite into their sweetness rather than simply taste a hint of beets

- for an extra moist cake, add an additional ¼ cup of espresso

As the latest chapter of the sum-mer Olympics drew to a scintillat-ing close, patriotism and national fervour were at an all-time high. The London 2012 Olympics attracted the viewership of hundreds of mil-lions of people from cultures so di-verse that they barely knew of each other’s existence. It is for this reason that the Olympics are known as a melting pot of all cultures, as each country assumes the universal cul-ture of competition and sportsman-ship. However, in this era of rapid globalization, are the Olympics still successful in their vision or are they a pale sunken shadow of the grand cultural experience they once were?

The modern Olympic Games were inspired by the ancient Greek Olympic Games. In that age, these Games were a series of athletic com-petitions among representatives of the city-states of Ancient Greece. The Ancient Olympic Games were rooted deeply in Greek mythol-

ogy and had paramount influence on the political affairs of the day. Every ancient game had a consid-erable impact on the political and religious landscape; the Olympics were a medium to realize objec-tives outside of the sporting realm.

Interestingly, the reasons for the Modern Olympics are distinct from those for the Ancient Olympics. In-dividuals from 205 countries meet to compete in a myriad of events for national and individual glory. Or is it for individual and national glory? The only difference between the two italicised phrases is the question of which comes first – the individu-al or the nation. Behind the veil of the national flag, participants fight it out for the ultimate recognition- the quest for a medal. Just what effect does winning a medal have on the local or global landscape?

If an athlete wins a medal adorning his national colours, it is a victory for both the individual and the nation. The individual receives the satisfaction that he is superior

to others in a particular aspect, and this feeds the individual ego. There can be no masking that each victory and defeat either feeds or starves the ego - even the most gracious of athletes cannot deny this. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong or unethical in feeding this ego. It adds greater purpose and mean-

The Plumber’s Ledger September 11th, 2012 11ing to life. It could even build an entire individual’s identity. The individual’s fate has little effect on the nation he represents; the culture is merely a shadow as the individual receives the prime glory.

From a humanitarian perspec-tive, competition between cultures can have detrimental subconscious effects on human thought. The need to establish our superiority in certain fields over other beings adds weight to the notion that we are just animalistic Darwinian crea-tures. The Olympics affirm their commitment to providing a safe haven for sports free from political, religious and cultural lines. It is a little ironic that this is the Olympic vision despite the subtle quest for national supremacy. It is the same motivator that gives rise to poli-tics; countries want to be better than others. It is as blunt as that.

Passports and borders contin-ue to officially and legally define these 205 nations who participate in the Olympics. These legal dis-tinctions fail to take into account the mixing and hybridity that have arisen in the recent few decades. A global economy does not just mean the trade of goods and ser-vices; it is the commingling of cul-tures, traditions and values. This is why the Olympics have failed to move ahead with the times. They desperately hold onto the era where borders and boundaries divided cultures, values, and time. One could argue that vast cultural differences still exist amidst the countries of the world. However, a universal culture is something that seems to be eroding into these indi-vidual distinctive cultures. Doesn’t it sound horrible - a world with a

predominantly common culture?

The world has changed and cul-ture has adopted a dynamic front. The Olympics cannot truly continue to represent the individual cultures simply because of hybridity that has effectively altered the face of the world. The glory and achievement belongs to the individual, because, other than carrying the passport and flag of the nation they repre-

sent, there really is nothing that sets an individual apart from the others. Hiding behind our national colours is merely our subconscious desire to feel superior and more competent than other nations; it is Darwinism at its best. Now, is this something we want as we move towards the intellectual age?

What comes to mind when you think about works of art which pro-foundly changed society? Probably the Beatles, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Picasso, Shakespeare, and the likes. Now, what if I told you that the most influential work of art on contempo-rary society is… Star Trek? You would probably burst into laughter with images of those bad mov-ies, conven-tions, people talking Klin-gon, and the cult following it currently has. That’s okay — it is also what I used to think of when thinking about Star Trek. However, could you imagine your world without your cellphone? Or your iPad, Skype, Bluetooth head-sets, or the GPS system? All of those important parts of our daily lives

have one thing in common: they all appeared in one way or another in Star Trek years before being devel-oped in the real world.

How did one TV show, which originally lasted only 3 seasons in the late 60s, have such a monumen-tal impact? To have an answer, you

should look at what those who grew up with the show became. They became the true builders of society. Not politicians, art-ists, or lawyers, but academics and most im-portant of all: engineers! Sci-

ence-fiction, by its very nature, is something very technological and openly dreams about how the fu-ture looks like. Historically, it has been appealing to those who will

end up in engineering school. From there, there is only a small step to make before trying to develop what they grew up with. Also, engineers are pretty much the only ones with the knowledge and power to repli-cate these things. For example, art history majors have little power to develop anything, while an engineer could build the Iron Man suit and de-velop Batman’s gadgets.

Star Trek’s main characters also teach us about the essential quali-ties to become a successful engi-neer. Spock is the living em-bodiment of the primacy of reason, logic and of the scientific method. He has been mocked and parodied countless times since the 1960s, but the fact is that being able to be like Spock in certain situations, mainly when working, is necessary. Captain Kirk represents curiosity, the quick thinker able to find solu-tions to anything, and the eternal optimist (let’s not forget that Wil-liam Shatner is a McGill grad too). If you mix Kirk and Spock in a single person, you would find yourself with the potential for a pretty solid engi-neer.

To reduce Star Trek’s contribu-

Women and men walked alongside each other in the hallways on the same footing. The Enter-prise’s bridge had a Russian officer,

an Asian, and a black woman, all

equal and w o r k i n g

t o w a r d s the same

goal. For the United States in

the midst of the Cold War and before

the Civil Rights move-ments really took off,

this was truly revolution-ary. The first “interracial”

kiss on American television was on Star Trek as well. They

promoted the vision of a united hu-manity, able to do the impossible and reach always farther. Their mis-sion is one of constant discovery and betterment. That is something we should all strive to do.

There is no doubt of the influ-ence of Star Trek on contemporary society, and one can only won-der what will happen next. As we speak, research is being conducted on tractor beams, tricorders, and hydroponic farms for long-term, manned missions to the Moon and Mars. The previous generation was without question influenced by the show, and we, “The Next Genera-tion”, would be wise to go back to those old episodes as well. We could be the ones unlocking the secrets of the transporter or even of the Warp drive. Wouldn’t that be some-thing?
