SFU swims to Victory

Men and women both win for SFU in the pool
By Bryan Scott

Both Simon Fraser swimming teams were in the action this past week. The women battled it out with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks and the University of Puget Sound Loggers. The men went head-to-head with Loggers only.

The Clan did well, taking a majority of the events that took place. The women defeated the Nanooks 75–44, and the Loggers 87–32. Individually, Carman Nam was a double winner, taking home the 800- metre freestyle in 9:22.84, and the 200-meter breaststroke in 2:24.85, both times beating her follower by over a second.

The men defeated UPS 146–111, with help from Dimitar Ivanov and Julian Monks who both finished with two wins on the day. Ivanov won the 800-metre freestyle in a time of 8:39.87 and then completed his second win with a showing in the 200-metre backstroke.

Monks did not make it fair to his opponents, crushing their times. He clocked 1:05.85 in the 100 meter breaststroke, and 2:24.38 in the 200-metre breaststroke, giving him victories of nearly eight and 20 seconds respectively. Both teams were extremely successful throughout the day, finishing in first and second position in several events. They took home both 200-metre medley races as well.

The next tournament for the Clan was in Claremont, California where the Clan took on the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens and the California Baptist Lancers on the women’s side, and just Pomona-Pitzer on the men’s.

SFU’s Harbour Centre talk, Sex and the War on Terror at 25, hosted by the Centre for Comparative Muslim Studies, is set exactly 25 years after the attacks of September 11. The talk extends debates around the “war on terror”(the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq following 9/11) by explaining how “gender and sexuality function as technologies of governance and securitization, and sites through which terror is produced, rendered legible, and mobilized.” To help the general public better understand this intersection of gender and war, feminist and queer scholars from University of California Los Angeles, Oregon State University, Rutgers University, and the University of British Columbia will be presenting their research...
