Ontario Assistance Student Program (OSAP) will<br />
increase by 17 per cent, or $25.2 million <strong>ne</strong>xt year,<br />
Gregory Sorbora, minister of colleges <strong>and</strong> universities,<br />
has announced.<br />
Improvements have been announced for: 1) Parental<br />
contributions for low income families will be<br />
reduced. For example, if a student attends an out-oftown<br />
college, the student will be eligible for a grant<br />
of $4,000 an increase of almost $1,000 or 33 per<br />
cent.<br />
2)Sole support students will receive mo<strong>ne</strong>y for<br />
child care. Of up to $3,500 a term to cover the cost<br />
of child care.<br />
3)Single dependent students will receive a grant<br />
increase of 31 per cent, from $1,150 a term to $1,500<br />
per term.<br />
4)For students attending a private post-secondary<br />
institutions, the grant go up from $1,000 to $1,500<br />
a term.<br />
5)The Ontario work study program, which is offered<br />
at <strong>Durham</strong> to students wh,ile attending school,<br />
under the <strong>ne</strong>w’ guideli<strong>ne</strong>s will receive an increase of<br />
87 per cent to $1.5 million; thus creating 800 <strong>ne</strong>w<br />
jobs. .,<br />
6)The cost of living allowance’s <strong>ne</strong>w rate will be<br />
$106 a week instead of the $99 a week, an increase<br />
of 7 per cent .<br />

Since a <strong>ne</strong>w teaching master might receive $40,000<br />
in a 12 month period, the report said for the same<br />
time a sessional or partial load teacher is likely to<br />
receive about half that amount.<br />
Prior to the Contract, <strong>Durham</strong> enjoyed having a reputation<br />
for "maximizing faculty utilization", the report<br />
says. And on entering the contract <strong>Durham</strong> may<br />
have had comparitively fewer teachers than other<br />
colleges.<br />
"This could partially account for the higher percentage<br />
.increase in the number of faculty," stated the<br />
report. However, it went on to say it’s possible that<br />
<strong>Durham</strong> reduced the teaching hours <strong>and</strong> overall workload<br />
of teaching masters below what was <strong>ne</strong>cessary.<br />
Also in the report it says that <strong>Durham</strong> failed to take<br />
into consideration the combi<strong>ne</strong>d inpact of the implementation<br />
of the <strong>ne</strong>w cpntract; the significant increase<br />
in enrolment; its reorganization of management;<br />
<strong>and</strong> the initiation of <strong>ne</strong>w programs. If it had<br />
taken these events into consideration, the report<br />
said, some might have been postpo<strong>ne</strong>d.<br />
Although the college implemented the <strong>ne</strong>w contract<br />
fairly, the report also said, "there was an absence of<br />
concern for fiscal restraint." The report also mentio<strong>ne</strong>d<br />
concern for <strong>Durham</strong>’s information systems with.<br />
regard to, faculty workload <strong>and</strong> finacial information,<br />
saying without improving this, it will be difficult for<br />

A Government report initiated by the Ministry ofi<br />
<strong>College</strong>s <strong>and</strong> Universities says a projected deficit of<br />
$1 million by 1988-89 will occur unless 20 teachers<br />
are laid off this year.<br />
The report also states <strong>Durham</strong> experienced a 30 per<br />
cent increase in teachers, while 21 other colleges had<br />
an increase, of just over 10 per cent as a result of<br />
reduced workload brought on by last spring’s tea-<br />
chers’ contract.<br />
Released to <strong>Durham</strong> in December, the report outli-<br />
<strong>ne</strong>d the college’s administrative <strong>and</strong> financial op-<br />
tions in the wake of i<strong>ne</strong>fficient provincial funding<br />
<strong>and</strong> the financial hardship of implementing the con-<br />
tract.<br />
The three-member team responsible for the report,<br />
Donna Wells of Se<strong>ne</strong>ca <strong>College</strong>, Jack Williams of<br />
Co<strong>ne</strong>stoga <strong>College</strong>, <strong>and</strong> Brian Wolfe of the ministry’s<br />
financial branch, questio<strong>ne</strong>d <strong>Durham</strong>’s rationale for<br />
the hiring "almost exclusively" of full-time teaching<br />
masters.<br />
The report said that although there was some vali-<br />
dity for hiring full-time as opposed to sessional tea-<br />
chers since the college expected a significant increase<br />
in etudent enrolment <strong>ne</strong>xt year, the college acted on<br />
the "uncertainties associated with student dem<strong>and</strong>"<br />
<strong>and</strong> failed to utilize the cost effeciency ofsessionals.<br />
v<br />
see the Ontario government holding off in collecting<br />
loans.<br />
’<br />
Since most farms are economically depressed, the<br />
government is counting farm assets as o<strong>ne</strong>-half the<br />
value.<br />
Students attending religious, artistic <strong>and</strong> out of<br />
province approved schools will also receive be’tter<br />
funding from OSAP.<br />
"Under the OSAP program funding for school is<br />
placed largely on the family, the parents <strong>and</strong> the<br />
student. And it is mostly their responsibility of these<br />
parties.<br />

Mi<strong>dterm</strong> exams may be a thing of the past for<br />
<strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> students as early as 1988, says Don<br />
Michie, dean of applied arts <strong>and</strong> health sciences.<br />
"Without formal exams at Christmas there still<br />
has to be some type of evaluation", says Michie, Possible<br />
substitutions for mi<strong>dterm</strong> examinations will be<br />
in the equivalent of term tests or assignments. Nothing<br />
has been confirmed yet.<br />
"The decision will be a college decision", says Jack<br />
Davidson, dean of busi<strong>ne</strong>ss <strong>and</strong> technology. Teachers<br />
<strong>and</strong> Administration will get together to express their<br />
concerns. Subject matter incli<strong>ne</strong>d to be more practical<br />
than academic related will be suggested for the<br />
cancellation of its final exam.<br />
"Some subjects are not feasible for examinations,"<br />
says Davidson. He Used subjects like drafting as an<br />
example. .<br />
The decision to have formal exams or not will be<br />
made <strong>ne</strong>xt September, Mi<strong>dterm</strong> marks as well as<br />
report cards will still be given out.<br />
Filial exams will be scheduled for the rest of the<br />
college’s students. But in what context they will be<br />
administered has not been confirmed either .<br />
Examinations being held in January may also<br />
be considered if formal exams still occurs says David-<br />
son. This change is being considered in an attempt<br />
to even out the number of weeks per semester. In<br />
the past, mi<strong>dterm</strong> examinations have been held in<br />
December with the semesters varying in length. The<br />
examination period length will be approximately a<br />
week in duration. In the 1986-87 school year there<br />
were 13 weeks scheduled first semester <strong>and</strong> 16 sched-<br />
uled second semester.<br />
Students taking only o<strong>ne</strong> semester courses will<br />
write mi<strong>dterm</strong> exams as they are also finals.

Security regulation says kid’s not<br />
allowed on college property<br />
by S<strong>and</strong>ra McLellan Chronicle staff<br />
Children, friends <strong>and</strong> relatives are<br />
, not welcome in the halls o^<strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
<strong>College</strong> facilities are available to staff<br />
<strong>and</strong> students only. Their children <strong>and</strong><br />
friends will be denied access, states the<br />
college’s Ge<strong>ne</strong>ral Security Regulations,<br />
sent to all students last summer with<br />
their acceptance letter.<br />
’"We decided to close the college, as<br />
opposed to it being an open institution,<br />
<strong>and</strong> this is o<strong>ne</strong> of the areas we looked<br />
at," says Ralph Aprile, plant security,<br />
A directive sent by Aprile to all security<br />
stations on Jan. 20 states that<br />
children will be allowed on the school<br />
property only if attending the college<br />
day care, a special function or having<br />
their teeth checked in the dental lab.<br />
’What am I supposed to do if I have<br />
an important test or a class that I can’t<br />
miss? Especially if the child is sick or<br />
has a PA day. The day care won’t take<br />
older children," says Ja<strong>ne</strong> Rogers, second-year<br />
public relations student <strong>and</strong><br />
mother of two boys.<br />
Rogers says, "It should be the parents<br />
responsibility to stop children running<br />

In a Toronto Star article, Dr. David<br />
Segal, author of the task forces section<br />
on Impact of Gender Integration on the<br />
Cohesion, Morale <strong>and</strong> Combat Effecti-’<br />
ve<strong>ne</strong>ss of Military Units, summed up<br />
the traditional reasons against women<br />
in combat: 1) society won’t tolerate<br />
women being killed in combat.<br />
2) unit cohesion will be impaired.<br />
3) women are different from men in<br />
terms of upper body strength.<br />
4) women are different from men’ in<br />
terms of aggression.<br />
5) women menstruate <strong>and</strong> become<br />
pregnant.<br />
However, traditional values are<br />
changing <strong>and</strong> the forces must keep pace<br />
<strong>and</strong> there have been advancements.<br />
Some 3,500 extra positions have been^<br />
classified as mixed-gender posts in<br />
<strong>ne</strong>ar-combat units since the Task Force<br />
was established last year.<br />
"I’d like to know I can bring them in<br />
if it’s <strong>ne</strong>cessary <strong>and</strong> okayed by the tea-<br />
cher."<br />
Merrill Cook, administrator <strong>and</strong> se-<br />
cretary-treasurer, says, "As a crown<br />
corporation, this is private l<strong>and</strong>. You<br />
can’t let people run free as if it were<br />
downtown somewhere.<br />
"Because we want to keep our insu-<br />
rance liability down we can’t let child-<br />
ren run free in the college."<br />
Enforcing the no-children, rule,<br />
Aprile says, is the result of older stu-<br />
dents letting their children run the<br />
halls while they attend school or work<br />
in the computer labs.<br />
"Some kids are only two or three ye-<br />
ars old, dumped in the corridors while<br />
their mothers attend classes. The majo-<br />
rity expect to leave their children to<br />
roam around," he says.<br />
"We’ve had legitimate complaints<br />
<strong>and</strong> have acted accordingly. You’d as-<br />
sume a student comes to use facilities,<br />
like the library <strong>and</strong> the computer labs,<br />
not available at home.<br />

on what appears to be censorship of free-<br />

Sports administration teacher Laura<br />
Robinson, was told she could not hang<br />
posters on school bulletin boards be-<br />
cause they do not represent the college’s<br />
viewpoint.<br />
Robinson arranged a series of s<strong>ne</strong>a-<br />
kers to come to the college to give an<br />
overview <strong>and</strong> their opinions on fhe fif-<br />
teen-hour television movie, "Amerika".<br />
Speakers were Max Alien, who pro-<br />

the making of the film, his assistant<br />
Laura Sky, <strong>and</strong> Dr. Bruce McLeod,<br />
United Church moderator, former hu-<br />
man rights commissio<strong>ne</strong>r, Toronto Star<br />
columnist <strong>and</strong> recent visitor to USSR.<br />
"This show is hard-li<strong>ne</strong> propag<strong>and</strong>a<br />
that fuels the arms race instead of see-<br />
king a peaceful solution. Soviets are pe-<br />
ople too; they have families," she says.<br />
Robinson approached Mel Garl<strong>and</strong>,<br />
college president, to have the speakers<br />
because she says, "I k<strong>ne</strong>w this wasn’t a<br />
typical college sort of thing." fte told<br />
her any posters must be approved by<br />
Herb Kirkcon<strong>ne</strong>ll, registrar <strong>and</strong> direc-<br />
tor of student affairs. ^<br />
She says Kirkcon<strong>ne</strong>ll disallowed the<br />
posters telling her, "They do not repre-<br />
sent the college’s view of peace. It would<br />
look like as if the college endorses these<br />
people."<br />
"I have Ho comment,^ says Kirkcon-<br />
<strong>ne</strong>ll when asked about the situation.<br />
Robinson says, "They’re saying stu-<br />
dents can’t think for themselves <strong>and</strong><br />
this is a dangerous attitude: I’d expect’<br />
this in USSR but not in Canada."<br />

"I tried to make posters that were as<br />

If you want to reach out <strong>and</strong> touch a h<strong>and</strong>icapped<br />
youngster, or a child with a chronic or life threatening<br />
ill<strong>ne</strong>ss, there’s an organization that allows you<br />
to do just that.<br />
Special Friends Incorporated ofWin<strong>ne</strong>peg, Manitoba<br />
is a service of anonymous volunteers who provide<br />
a ray of sunshi<strong>ne</strong> with special friend letters.<br />
"It’s not important who is doing it, it’s more important<br />
that it’s being do<strong>ne</strong>, says coordinator Carol.<br />
"Even I’m anonymous."<br />
Carol says she "kind of fell into" the job.<br />
"I read in April 1984 of a similar organization in<br />
the U.S. called the "Secret Garden:" I liked the idea<br />
<strong>and</strong> talked with my family about setting up o<strong>ne</strong> for<br />
the Win<strong>ne</strong>peg area <strong>and</strong> they agreed to help me. I<br />
couldn’t do it without my wonderful family.<br />
"We got the first three children in December 1984.<br />
By that time I had <strong>ne</strong>arly 80 people waiting to write."<br />
Initially some publicity was do<strong>ne</strong> by the late Gordon<br />
Sinclair in his syndicated column, <strong>and</strong> by Win<strong>ne</strong>peg<br />
radio announcers Boyd Kozak <strong>and</strong> Lisa Douglas.<br />
Now, after two years, the agency serves 45 children<br />
being written to by more than 90 special friends, <strong>and</strong><br />
has exp<strong>and</strong>ed from Manitoba to southern Ontario,<br />
British Columbia <strong>and</strong> the Atlantic provinces.<br />
"New members are always welcome," she says.<br />
Membership is open to anyo<strong>ne</strong> wanting to write<br />
to these special children. The only criteria is that<br />
cards or letters be sent twice a month.<br />
Marsha Noseworthy, a second-year <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
student in materials management, writes to two<br />
children <strong>and</strong> has two special friends for her children.<br />
"I heard of the agency when Jessie, my two-yearold,<br />
had open heart surgery. They were friends of<br />
Carol’s <strong>and</strong> they gave her my name. That’s how I<br />
got started," she says.<br />
"Laura, she’s six, <strong>and</strong> Jessie looks for the letters<br />
every day."<br />
Noseworthy says, "I like it a lot. It’s really nice. I<br />
know how happy my kids are when the mail comes<br />
for them with their name on it.<br />
"Really, it’s a cheap way of volunteering. It doesn’t<br />
take a lot of time <strong>and</strong> very little mo<strong>ne</strong>y, but it still<br />
makes you feel good."<br />
Letters break the monotony for children who spend<br />
a great deal of time at home <strong>and</strong> in hospital.<br />
"As a young child I was very ill <strong>and</strong> often wished<br />
for a diversion from my bed. It’s a small thing to<br />
write a letter to someo<strong>ne</strong> who is ill, <strong>and</strong> in this way,<br />
I can brighten up a child’s day," o<strong>ne</strong> special friend<br />
told Carol.<br />
She asks anyo<strong>ne</strong> interested in bei<strong>ne</strong>? a special<br />
friend to write her a personal note containing a pho<strong>ne</strong><br />
number, <strong>and</strong> information about interests, hobbies,<br />
family life, or whatever is special about you. Also<br />
included should be two or three code names which<br />
can be names of cartoon characters, flowers, birds or<br />
whatever person or thing that a child is familiar<br />
with or can relate to.<br />
"I don’t like to see a child waiting. We try to match<br />
the special friend <strong>and</strong> the special child as quickly as<br />
we can," says Carol.<br />
Once matched with a child, the special friend recei-,<br />
ves a package containing the code name <strong>and</strong> perti<strong>ne</strong>nt<br />
information about the child.<br />
Some write to the child like a pen pal pet through<br />
the eyes of an animal watching people, she explains,<br />
though most write of every day life.<br />
"Others send colorful things for younger children,"<br />
she says, "but the constant message is always ’I care<br />
about you, I love you <strong>and</strong> I think you’re <strong>ne</strong>at’."<br />
Carol, a mother of two <strong>and</strong> baby-sitter of four others,<br />
sends all mail out at the middle <strong>and</strong> the end<br />

Gung-ho evangelists have been fil-<br />
ling the airwaves for years <strong>and</strong> the ab-<br />
surdity of the whole situation surfaced<br />
when Oral Roberts said he would die if<br />
he didn’t raise 4.5 million dollars. Top-<br />
ping that statement off, Roberts is now<br />
stating that God will not kill him. This<br />
came the same night that the devil tried<br />
to strangle Roberts as his wife battled<br />
’ old Beelzebub.<br />
It’s not just Roberts who takes advan-<br />
tage of emotionally weak people, the<br />
<strong>ne</strong>twork air is full of them. Religous<br />
shows are fi<strong>ne</strong> but when they start ta-<br />
lking mo<strong>ne</strong>y away from people who<br />
think it will get them into heaven, so-<br />
meo<strong>ne</strong> must take a st<strong>and</strong>. The frighte-<br />
ning aspect is Roberts was qouted as<br />
receiving over $1 million in the first 10<br />
days of his plea. No official statement<br />
has been released on Roberts’ total in-<br />
take to date.<br />

If people give mo<strong>ne</strong>y after these ridiculous<br />
statements, Roberts has his, followers<br />
by the jugular. If Roberts doesn’t<br />
get the specified amount we will all<br />
probably hear him tell the world God<br />
has given him an extension. His regular<br />
followers will take this at face value<br />
<strong>and</strong> Roberts will go to the bank smiling.<br />
Perhaps chan<strong>ne</strong>l 17 of the Public Broadcasting<br />
Service should hire Roberts<br />
to gather funds because after all that’s<br />
what he is really good at:<br />
A Las Vegas bookie has publicly asked<br />
to make odds for public betting on<br />
whether Roberts will get the $4.5 million.<br />
Jimmy Swagert was quoted by<br />
AP(American Press) as calling Roberts<br />
a "terrorist". This sums up Oral Roberts<br />
in a nice <strong>ne</strong>at package. For those who<br />
give mo<strong>ne</strong>y to these shucksters, try giving<br />
it to charity because it’s better<br />
spent putting a smile on a child’s face<br />
than on a br<strong>and</strong> <strong>ne</strong>w car in some evangelist’s<br />

I as a student of <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> am<br />
greatly disappointed <strong>and</strong> outraged at<br />
the athletic program at this school. We<br />
were just notified that our floor hockey<br />
games are to be played on Saturdays.<br />
Who wants to come to school on Satur-<br />
days? Also at the start of the year when<br />
baseball was on, the season was hampe-<br />
red by severe bad management <strong>and</strong> the<br />
organizers being not organized at all.<br />
We were thrown out of the loop be-<br />
cause we didn’t play a game that we did<br />
not know about. The game time <strong>and</strong><br />
place was posted only ten minutes be-<br />
fore game time, but they insisted that<br />
this was plenty of time for us to prepare<br />
for the game.<br />
Now let’s look at volleyball. Our class<br />
is consisted of 16 males <strong>and</strong> 2 females.<br />
, The two females would not play so the-<br />
refore we would not play our games.<br />
This is uterly stupid <strong>and</strong> if you ask me,<br />
it is DISCRIMINATION.<br />
Litter <strong>and</strong> butts bugs bus driver<br />

You often hear people complain of<br />
the Oshawa Transit system, <strong>and</strong> some<br />
of the complaints are justified. But<br />
what about the complaints bus drivers<br />
have about passengers?<br />
The front seats are reserved for elderly<br />
<strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>icapped passengers. At<br />
any given time you can see children or<br />
adults in these seats.<br />
Passengers leave garbage on the<br />
bus; coffee cups, chip bags, cigarette<br />
butts <strong>and</strong> pop cans often litter the aisles.<br />
’ Loverls leave messages carved’ in<br />
the seats for the world to see.<br />
Others feel justified at venting the<br />
day’s frustrations at the driver, if perchance<br />
he/she is late for the bus.<br />
Recently a passenger came running,<br />
screaming expletives at the bus<br />
driver for leaving at the proper time.<br />
When the bus driver yelled back, the<br />
When we sig<strong>ne</strong>d up for this school we<br />
had to pay $50 sports fee even if we<br />
didn’t want to play sports. Well this is<br />
o<strong>ne</strong> student who feels he was severely<br />
robbed of $50. This mo<strong>ne</strong>y could have<br />
been used for better things which I<br />
would have had at least some fun with.<br />
The thing that really bur<strong>ne</strong>d me up<br />
was when the grade 12 students were<br />
taking a look at this college. I heard<br />
our assistant athletic director tell the<br />
students that the sports here is second<br />
to no<strong>ne</strong> <strong>and</strong> that there is a sport for<br />
everyo<strong>ne</strong>. Well assistant athletic direc-<br />
tor keep with your promise to these fu-<br />
ture students, get off the wagon <strong>and</strong><br />
make these co-ed sports good, or at least<br />
to a level where there is no<strong>ne</strong> of this<br />
crap of coming to school on Saturdays<br />
when \you know that most of us work<br />
on that day off.<br />
C.G.<br />
v (Robber of $50)<br />
passenger wanted to tight the driver.<br />
Zen Balwinczak, a second-year pu-<br />
blic relations student, has complaints<br />
against some passengers.<br />
’"What bugs me is when teenagers<br />
get on the bus, <strong>and</strong> they swear when<br />
elderly passengers are aboard the<br />
bus. They should have respect for<br />
these people.<br />
"O<strong>ne</strong> time on the bus I could smell<br />
pot coming from the back of the bus. It<br />
upsets me that people don’t have consi-<br />
deration for others, <strong>and</strong> no respect for<br />
the rules," said Balwinczak.<br />
A bus driver who wished to remain<br />
anonymous summed up the problems<br />
drivers have with passengers.<br />
"People blame the drivers if they<br />
don’t know the schedule. Another<br />
complaint is that they (passengers)<br />
leave garbage on the bus. They are<br />
rude to other passengers <strong>and</strong> to the dri-<br />
ver. Some riders refuse to show re-<br />
spect for the bus or the transit system."<br />
Star u nfair to "Ameri ka "<br />
by Rod dark Chronicle staff<br />
Thorn: Gary Lautens’ cheap shot at"A-<br />
merika". Last week CFTO aired the<br />
controversial mini-series Amerika, ab-<br />
out a Soviet occupation of the U.S..In a<br />
recent Toronto Star column, the show<br />
is contrasted to our Governor-Ge<strong>ne</strong>ral<br />
Jean<strong>ne</strong> Sauve hugging Soviet captain<br />
Vyacheslav Fetisov. Lautens’ point is<br />
that it’s nicer to see touching sce<strong>ne</strong>s like<br />
»this than it is to see shows like Ame-<br />
rika. I wholeheartedly agree.<br />
However, Lauten’s continues <strong>and</strong><br />
stretches the point too far. He says of<br />
Amerika "It is garbage." Well how<br />
would he know? There is no mention of<br />
pre-screening qfthe series. The column<br />
is in Wed<strong>ne</strong>sday’s paper. The show still<br />
hag four nights to run! If an American<br />
pan<strong>ne</strong>d/a Canadian show without vie-<br />
iwing even half of it, the Canadian cul-<br />
ture lobby would scream like hell, <strong>and</strong><br />
rightly so.<br />
Also Lautens’said of the series-<br />
,"some people think it will make a buk-<br />
k...It is commercial.^ Obviously the<br />
Star thought it would make a buck too.<br />
^’Starweek" magazi<strong>ne</strong> had Kris Kristof-<br />
ferson, front cover <strong>and</strong> full page with a<br />
covering feature inside. Do pictures <strong>and</strong><br />
features like that help sell the ’Star?<br />
You bet! H<strong>and</strong>s out of the cookie jar<br />

Agreed, <strong>and</strong> that’s the way ,it<br />

Deodorant tampon ads are insulting<br />
to women <strong>and</strong>-will not be aired during<br />
Q107’s Sunday Night Sex Show with<br />
’<br />
Sue. .?--,::^ .<br />
Host Sue Johanson said, "Deodorant<br />
tampons a^re obviously a mo<strong>ne</strong>y making<br />
plot, since a woman’s menstrual di-<br />
scharge does not give off an odor unless<br />
it is exposed to air fora couple of hours.<br />
Seeing as a woman’s vagina is 99 per<br />
cent air free, I don’t see any reason to<br />
have to use a deodorant. Also there are<br />
chemicals in the deodorant that can<br />
cause severe tissue irritation."<br />
Johanson told a forum how concer<strong>ne</strong>d<br />
she was that these types of advertise-<br />
ments can mislead people, making<br />
them think that iiT you do not use this<br />
type of tampon, you will not be fresh<br />
enough.<br />
The seminar was held Feb. 12, at<br />

Johanson said, "Most females think<br />
they have been injured in some way,<br />
some even think they are going to bleed<br />
to death. Boys usually think they are<br />
oversexed or perverts.<br />
The problem evolves when we are in-<br />
fants. Parents tend to refer to their<br />
children as asexual, <strong>ne</strong>ither male or fe-<br />
male. Johanson feels we often try to stop<br />
our children from predicting their fu-<br />
ture roles. "Children often like to rehe-<br />
arse through playing house, <strong>and</strong> doctor;<br />
but most parents don’t like that. We<br />
have to make kids more comfortable<br />
with their bodies. Most teenagers grow<br />
up not liking their bodies for various<br />
reasons: too fat, or too thin, too many<br />
zits, mousey hair etc.<br />
By the time children reach grades 8<br />
or 9 they start to think about their bo-<br />
dies in a more critical way. Johanson<br />
said, "Boys almost always think they<br />
have the smallest penis in the world<br />
arid when the time comes when a<br />
woman will see them naked,-she’s going<br />
to laugh. It doesn’t help their situation<br />
much either when they hear the big ma-<br />
cho guys at school talking about how<br />
huge theirs is.<br />
"Girls usually find themselves in si-<br />
milar situations. If they have small bre-<br />
asts they think they are inadequate,<br />
<strong>and</strong> no man will ever be attracted to<br />
them."<br />
These thoughts can haunt people<br />
even into their twenties <strong>and</strong> further.<br />
"O<strong>ne</strong> of the most frequent questions I’m<br />
asked on Q107, on TV, <strong>and</strong> at the clinic,<br />
is about penis size. O<strong>ne</strong> show on Q I<br />
had a caller who told me his penis was<br />
exactly 3 7/8". I asked him: Is that be-<br />
fore, after, or during?**<br />
For the first three months Johanson<br />
was on the air at Q107, most of the calls<br />
were from males between the ages of<br />
19 to 35. Every question was about pe-<br />
nis preoccupation.<br />
"Every o<strong>ne</strong> of them felt that they had<br />
the. smallest penis, or k<strong>ne</strong>w less about<br />
sex than anyo<strong>ne</strong> else. I tell all of them<br />
that penis size doesn’t matter for sexual<br />
gratification, <strong>and</strong> that most women find<br />
it painful when the man’s penis is too<br />
large. I still get the odd call about size."<br />
Johanson underst<strong>and</strong>s how difficult<br />
it can be to talk openly to children about<br />
their sexuality. "My son used to hug me<br />
a lot when he was younger, then it<br />
stopped when he was about 18. 1 finally<br />
got the courage to.ask him why he<br />
stopped. He said. Mom it’s really embar-<br />
assing when you get an erection while<br />
hugging your own mother.’ At first I<br />
didn’t know what to say about that,<br />
then I told him that sponta<strong>ne</strong>ous erec-<br />
tions are normal. They usually start<br />
around age 12 <strong>and</strong> stop at about age 20;<br />
then by 30 you’ll wish it still happe<strong>ne</strong>d."<br />
All questions aren’t easily answera-<br />
ble for Johanson. "A female caller pho-<br />
<strong>ne</strong>d Q crying. She told me her husb<strong>and</strong><br />
beats her. As I was beginning to speak,<br />
I heard a man swearing <strong>and</strong> yelling in<br />
the background, then the li<strong>ne</strong> went<br />
dead. I was very terrified for her, but I<br />
didn’t have her pho<strong>ne</strong> number <strong>and</strong> no<br />
way of reaching her. I gave some infor-<br />
mation over the air on counselling<br />
agencies <strong>and</strong> clinics where help was<br />
available, but I doubt she’ heard it. I<br />
could bhiy hope."<br />
When women have children their self<br />
concept is most vul<strong>ne</strong>rable, because<br />
they are no longer a wife now they<br />
arte a mother. Frequently women are<br />
dissinterested in sex after they have a<br />
child, which provides another change<br />
to be dealt with.<br />
"When a woman has a family <strong>and</strong> a<br />
husb<strong>and</strong> her self-concept <strong>and</strong> self-<br />
esteem get mixed up. The self-concept<br />
usually gets shattered because they see<br />
themselves as responsible for the fa-<br />
mily, <strong>and</strong> that ends up being their sole<br />
reason for existence," said Johanson.<br />
Gaining self-esteem <strong>and</strong> fulfilling<br />
yourself with what Johanson calls the<br />
three A’s: Acceptance, Approval, <strong>and</strong><br />
Appreciation, can make a person more<br />
stable <strong>and</strong> comfortable in their sexual<br />
<strong>and</strong> human relationships.

<strong>Durham</strong> to assess measures it may take to alleviate<br />
its financial problems.<br />
There were also some doubts as to the revised’bud-<br />
get’s data among college person<strong>ne</strong>l, the report said.<br />
"<strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> person<strong>ne</strong>l were <strong>ne</strong>ver unanimous<br />
in their acceptance of the data the cbllege provided<br />
the team. Much time has been spent by the team<br />
analyzing data only to have the data questio<strong>ne</strong>d at<br />
subsequent meetings."<br />
The report estimates the college can eliminate 21 to<br />
30 teachers, without dropping any programs through<br />
modifying evaluation procedures, <strong>and</strong> making better<br />
use of temporary teachers <strong>and</strong> overtime without in-<br />
fringing on the collective agreement.<br />
Mike Breaugh, New Democratic Party MPP for Os-<br />
hawa says, however, that other colleges are experien-<br />
cing some financial problems.<br />
"It’s very complicated. The ministry has kept out of<br />
rt up until recently, <strong>and</strong> hasn’t monitored finances<br />
of the colleges." Breaugh says the ministry has en-<br />
countered funding problems in all of the colleges.<br />
"The colleges were under the impression the ministry<br />
would fund the hiring of <strong>ne</strong>w teachers," said Bre-<br />
augh, reflecting back on the contract <strong>and</strong> reduced<br />
workload., Breaugh said the ministry is currently<br />
doing a critique on the funding formula, <strong>and</strong> most<br />
colleges are studying their internal programs.<br />
"This is going to hit other colleges, if it hasn’t already<br />
happe<strong>ne</strong>d," Breaugh said.<br />
<strong>Durham</strong> is presently waiting for a response from the<br />
ministry, which is looking at the college’s request<br />
for between $600 - $1 million in extra funding.<br />
Rick Holmes, vice-chairman of <strong>Durham</strong>’s board of<br />
governors, says he doesn’t think teachers will be laid<br />
off, but says the administration hasn’t made any for-<br />
mal advances in that direction.<br />
"It’s up to the administration to approach us, <strong>and</strong> as<br />
of yet it hasn’t," Holmes said.<br />
Holmes said he, along with other members of the<br />
board of governors <strong>and</strong> Mel Garl<strong>and</strong>, recently atten-<br />
ded the Association of <strong>College</strong>s of Applied Arts <strong>and</strong><br />
Technology of Ontario (ACATO) conference. At that<br />
conference over 250 administrative people from On-<br />
tario colleges attended, <strong>and</strong> liste<strong>ne</strong>d to Greg Sorbara,<br />
minister of colleges <strong>and</strong> universities, <strong>and</strong> Robert Ni-<br />
xon, treasurer of Ontario, speak.<br />
"There was a lot of bashing of the federal govern-<br />
ment. The federal government has reduced the pay-<br />
ments to the colleges," Holmes said. "We are getting<br />
a lot of lip service." "<br />
Holmes said there was a ge<strong>ne</strong>ral consensus among<br />
the colleges that they were underfunded, <strong>and</strong> that<br />
each repective board of governors has been lobbying<br />
the governments for more funding.<br />
"I am a little disappointed with the fact there’s o<strong>ne</strong><br />
Liberal in the Provincial (government) <strong>and</strong> o<strong>ne</strong> Libe-<br />
ral in the federal (government) <strong>and</strong> there seems to<br />
be a bit of knocking back <strong>and</strong> forth."<br />
At the conference, Se<strong>ne</strong>ca <strong>College</strong> president, Roy<br />
McCuthen said at the beginning of the contract the<br />
government allocated $60 million, part of which each<br />
college didn’t know what to ask for. Holmes said<br />
Merrill Cook, administrator <strong>and</strong> secretary-treasurer<br />
for <strong>Durham</strong>, wouldn’t comment on the report, since<br />
he said it was confidential report between the college<br />
<strong>and</strong> ministry. He did correct recent reports do<strong>ne</strong> by<br />
area <strong>ne</strong>wspapers which said in lieuof financial pro-<br />
blems the college was going ahead with a $250,000<br />
renovation of the Simcoe building.<br />
"Actually the ministry allocated $559,000 in capital<br />
funding for the restoration of the Simcoe building,"<br />
Cook said.<br />
"It’s .got nothing to do with the college’s operating<br />
costs." ,<br />
Cook said last year the ministry allocated $210,000<br />
for revamping the rooftops otthe Simcoe building,<br />
<strong>and</strong> another $559,000 to up-grade the building. He<br />
stressed that this mo<strong>ne</strong>y was in no way directed at<br />
the college’s operating costs, which includes the sa-<br />
laries of teachers <strong>and</strong> administration.<br />
Arthur Smith, president of the OPSEU local at Dur-<br />
ham, says there are some teachers hired last year<br />
who are contemplating sueing the college if their<br />
jobs are lost, but said he hasn’t spoken to any such<br />
teachers <strong>and</strong> it’s all hear-say. ,<br />
"There are more opportunities in a place such as<br />
Toronto; than there are here for sessionals," Smith<br />
said. The Sheer transportation cost of teaching’as a<br />
sessional" at <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong>, Smith said, is hard to<br />
accept fo^ someo<strong>ne</strong> receiving only half .of what a full-<br />
time teacher would.<br />
Smith says the report is fi<strong>ne</strong>, but fails to address the<br />
real problem. He said instead of focusing on what<br />
the college administration did <strong>and</strong> didn’t do, more<br />
interest should be on the fact the college isn’t recei-<br />
ving funding <strong>ne</strong>eded through the province to comm-<br />
pliment the Region’s growth.<br />
<strong>Durham</strong>’s hiring policy<br />
questio<strong>ne</strong>d by ministry<br />
"They (report’s team) have ignored the amount the<br />
college should get from the ministry," Smith said.<br />
Smith said only about half the high school graduates<br />
in the Region go to <strong>Durham</strong> college. Over 53 per cent<br />
attend colleges <strong>and</strong> universities outside the Region.<br />
Data received by Smith through the college suggests<br />
that potential students opt for college careers outside<br />
of <strong>Durham</strong> because of lack of available programs.<br />
And with the lack of funding by the ministry the<br />
college isn’t able to exp<strong>and</strong> its facilities.<br />
"Humber has the same number of students coming<br />
’<br />
out of high school in its areaSft^we do," says Smith.<br />
"But we are only a quarter-ofthe size of Humber."<br />
Statistics show last year <strong>Durham</strong> Region had 1,130<br />
high school grads which attended o<strong>ne</strong> college or an-<br />
other, of which 527 chose <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>and</strong> 603 went<br />
elsewhere.<br />
The Region’s growth has surpassed the province’s<br />
growth, Smith contends. "There should be more pro-<br />
vincial funding than there is."<br />
Ironically the report says that "had <strong>Durham</strong> grown<br />
at the same rate as other colleges, its per student"<br />
funding would have been above the system average.<br />
<strong>Durham</strong> contends that its system, <strong>and</strong> its growth in<br />
activity is not the cause of this. .<br />
The funding distribution is set up in such a way that<br />
a college growing faster than other colleges will re-<br />
ceive a smaller share of the’ operating grant, <strong>and</strong><br />
vice-versa.<br />
The report concluded that <strong>Durham</strong>’s growth in pro-<br />
vincially-funding activity since 1980-81 was 47.2 per<br />
cent, compared to the other colleges’ activity of 19.5<br />
per cent. This growth -in provincially-funding activ-<br />
ity "has had a significant effect on its (<strong>Durham</strong>’s)<br />
’ per student funding," the report stated.<br />
Drew Namath, a ministry economist says the majo-<br />
rity of the colleges feel the funding distribution me-<br />
chanism is fair.<br />
"No other college feels it’s unfair, <strong>and</strong> a survey do<strong>ne</strong><br />
last spring found 15 out of the 22 colleges felt it<br />
should continue,"Namath said. Namath also said the<br />
funding review committee is going over how the fun-<br />
ding formula is working presently.<br />
Mel Garl<strong>and</strong> has been on the funding review commit-<br />
tee in previous years, <strong>and</strong> says the funding formula<br />
is inadequate.<br />
Brian Wolfe, chief financial analyst for the ministry,<br />
wouldn’t comment on the^ report itself, but said that<br />
to his knowledge no other college was experiencing<br />
financial problems.<br />
McCuthen said,We put in our best estimate which<br />
was thought to be light, <strong>and</strong> now we know it was<br />
light.’ Holmes added that <strong>Durham</strong>’s estimate was<br />
more than the $1.3 million it received from the go-<br />
vernment.<br />
"We expect to hear from the ministry fairly soon,"<br />
Holmes said with respect to <strong>Durham</strong>’s appeal for<br />
additional funding. / .<br />
<strong>Durham</strong> Region is "booming" right now, said Holmes<br />
who owns two busi<strong>ne</strong>sses in the Region, <strong>and</strong> has been<br />
operating for 13 years.<br />
Regional Chairman, Gary Herrema, is concer<strong>ne</strong>d<br />
with the college’s finacial problem, too.<br />
"The college has always had a very positive relations-<br />
hip with industry in the Region," Herrema said. Her-<br />
rema added a lack of funding for <strong>Durham</strong> will ultima-<br />
tely hurt this relationship.<br />
"This doesn’t just effect Oshawa <strong>and</strong> <strong>Durham</strong> Region,<br />
but as well as Northumberl<strong>and</strong> too. We (<strong>Durham</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>) service all areas," Herrema said.<br />
"We’ll have to sit down with Mel Garl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the<br />
board, <strong>and</strong> set out what we can do as a concer<strong>ne</strong>d<br />
community."<br />

By Linda Cousins Chronicle staff<br />
A student in <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Public Relations<br />
program has .been granted an impressive placement<br />
in Rome, Italy.<br />
Andrew Popko, a second-year student, was recently<br />
granted a placement with Unitar, a division<br />
of the United Nations.<br />
UNITAR/UNDP (United Nations Institute for<br />
Training <strong>and</strong> Research on Small E<strong>ne</strong>rgy Resources)<br />
was established in Rome, Italy in 1984.<br />
Their objective is to promote the development of<br />
small e<strong>ne</strong>rgy resources, specifically for the be<strong>ne</strong>fit<br />
of rural populations in developing countries.<br />
While on a trip to New York, Popko met an employee<br />
of the United Nations who suggested he contact<br />
them in regard to his placement. I<br />
Upon returning home, he sent the U.N^his resume,<br />
<strong>and</strong> within a short period of time received a pho<strong>ne</strong><br />
call from Marsha Aasen, of the Department of Public<br />
Information for the United, rations, requesting he<br />
come to New York for an interview.<br />
Popko was interviewed for a placement within the<br />
United Nations in New York originally, <strong>and</strong> was<br />
accepted for that position. Following that interview<br />
another o<strong>ne</strong> was scheduled with UNITAR, a division’<br />
of the United Nations that operates out of Rome,<br />
Italy. He was interviewed oy Manfred 0. Schmidt,<br />
who offered Popko a placement in Rome.<br />
Popko, who had taken a two-year leave from his<br />
company, Alberta E<strong>ne</strong>rgy in order to study Publiq<br />
Relations at <strong>Durham</strong>, then flew home to Alberta to<br />
discuss the prospect with his company.<br />
Alberta E<strong>ne</strong>,rgy gave Popko a four month extended<br />
leave. ,<br />
"I’m pleased <strong>and</strong> enthused that Alberta E<strong>ne</strong>rgy<br />
have given me the leave. I feel it is a fantastic oppor-<br />
tunity. I look forward to working in a European coun-<br />
try <strong>and</strong> for the U.N. which is a respected world-wide<br />
organization," said Popko.<br />
Before moving out west, Popko was a long-time<br />
resident of Ajax. He left an impressive record of<br />
achievements behind.<br />
He was student body president <strong>and</strong> in grade 12 at<br />
Ajax High School, he was presented with the Thomas<br />
Foster Award that recognized an all-round student.<br />
He was also president of his grade 13 class <strong>and</strong> vale-<br />
dictorian.<br />
Fellow classmate Rob Quick saic(? "I think it’s<br />
great<br />
Andy had the ambition to ^o <strong>and</strong> do it. He had the<br />
:« initiative <strong>and</strong> the foresight. He really deserves it. "<br />
When he finished Grade 13, he headed out to Al-<br />
berta in search of a job, which he found with Alberta<br />
E<strong>ne</strong>rgy.<br />
He began working for them in 1978 as an office<br />
assistant. O<strong>ne</strong> year later, he went to Medici<strong>ne</strong> Hat<br />
as a field operator. He worked on the SufHeld mili-<br />
tary range’ <strong>and</strong> was in charge of 46 gas wells.<br />
After just over a year, an openinig came up in the<br />
Calgary office for a buyer of oil <strong>and</strong> gas materials<br />
for engi<strong>ne</strong>ering <strong>and</strong> drilling departments^ Here,<br />
Popko was exposed to public relations.<br />
"I worked on special projects. There was an inter-<br />
nal educational program going on that familiarized<br />
each department with the activities of the other de-<br />
partments in the company for two days. I also assi-<br />
sted in photo slide presentations <strong>and</strong> material logi-<br />
stics for five months. My first real introduction to<br />
public relations was during November of 1984. Al-<br />
berta E<strong>ne</strong>rgy had to raise $85 million in common<br />
shares," said Popko.<br />
Alberta E<strong>ne</strong>rgy then suggested to Popko that a<br />
career in public relations might be an avenue he<br />
could pursue.<br />
In January 1986, <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> accepted Popko<br />
as a mature student in their public relations pro-<br />
gram. He then had to catch up the courses that he<br />
had missed from September to January.<br />
Everett McCrimmon, teaching master of public re-<br />
lations at <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> said, "I think this is an<br />
exciting devlopment for him <strong>and</strong> a great opportunity.<br />
It speaks well for the Public Relations program at<br />
<strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Andy showed enough capability<br />
through his resume <strong>and</strong> portfolio, to get a call. Part<br />
of the reason they were interested in him is his oil<br />
background. Unitar is developing a means of tapping<br />
e<strong>ne</strong>rgy in the core of the earth. Andy’s got the back-<br />
ground, skills <strong>and</strong> willing<strong>ne</strong>ss to work hard. He<br />
proved that with his fall client. It was Big Brother’s<br />
<strong>and</strong> he organized their Bowl for Millions’ campaign,<br />
hoping to raise $10,000. It is a once in a lifetime<br />
opportunity to get that kind of experience."<br />
Bill Swan, acting chairman for Communication<br />
Arts said, "I think it would be a fantastic opportunity<br />
for Andy. To my knowledge, I tnink this is the first<br />
European placement in the college’s history. It shows<br />
the distinct value in having students arrange their<br />
own placement in relation to their desires <strong>and</strong> goals.<br />

From the Hip is about a lawyer Robin "Stormy" Weat-<br />
hers (Nelson) who defends his first client Raymond Tor-<br />
kenson (played by Ed Winter, (known for his role as<br />
Colo<strong>ne</strong>l Flagg on the hit series M*A*^*H) in a display<br />
of unorthodox tactics <strong>and</strong> an anything-goes approach<br />
leaving him a celebrity. When he has to defend a mur-<br />
derer, Weathers finds how difficult it is to defend a<br />
client he thinks may be guilty, Douglas Benoit (played<br />
by hurt). The movie centres around outrageous court<br />
sce<strong>ne</strong>s that are funny, intriguing, suspenseful, entertai-<br />
ning as well as revealing. . ,<br />
In o<strong>ne</strong> sce<strong>ne</strong> of the murder trial Weathers produces<br />
a vibrator from the prosecuting lawyers attache case<br />
to prove the point that the defendant may not have<br />
known the weapon <strong>and</strong> blood stai<strong>ne</strong>d clothing was un-<br />
der his car seat. This makes the viewer wonder how<br />
valid or circumstantial some of the evidence produced<br />
in real courts of law can be.<br />
During the last trial day of the murder case Weathers<br />
begins to realize that his client is guilty <strong>and</strong> begins to<br />
worry about the morality of his actions for defending<br />
a murderer. Weathers suprises everyo<strong>ne</strong> in the court<br />
room ’when he explains that his client is impudent <strong>and</strong><br />
a ge<strong>ne</strong>rally weak man. By doing this Weathers cleverly<br />
anticipated the argument that took place between Be-<br />
noit <strong>and</strong> the murder victim. Outraged, Benoit grabs<br />
the murder weapon from the wit<strong>ne</strong>ss st<strong>and</strong> (a claw-<br />
hammer),* <strong>and</strong> lashes out at Weathers, who quickly<br />
ducks as the claw digs a deep gash in the jurors bench.<br />
The idea for the film came from David E. Kelly (pres-<br />
ently story editor on TV’s L.A. Law), a Boston Lawyer<br />
who wrote the screenplay based on his own experiences.<br />
From the Hip is a rare film that takes the viewer<br />
through a look at how moral the legal system is <strong>and</strong><br />
howeasily guilty men can go free with clever courtroom<br />
tactics <strong>and</strong> outrageous presentations of wit<strong>ne</strong>ss’ testi-<br />
mony <strong>and</strong> evidence.<br />
From the Hip is a film best described by director Bob<br />
dark as a comedy with a lot on it’s mind.<br />
Music industry suffers<br />
due to st<strong>and</strong>ardization<br />
of immigration laws<br />
By Sherry Recce Chronicle Staff<br />
Due to the extent of stricter visa rules, <strong>ne</strong>w entertai<strong>ne</strong>rs<br />
wanting to come into the United States<br />
may be tur<strong>ne</strong>d down.<br />
Performers in the music industry <strong>and</strong> theatre<br />
<strong>and</strong> dance groups are finding it difficult to obtain<br />
visas.<br />
The U.S. Immigration <strong>and</strong> Naturalization Service<br />
(INS) visa requirements for these acts were<br />
strengthe<strong>ne</strong>d in August 1985.<br />
Since then, b<strong>and</strong>s such as New Model Army, the<br />
Blow Monkeys, <strong>and</strong> the U.K. Subs have been denied<br />
visas.<br />
These <strong>ne</strong>w laws state that an act must be able<br />
to prove their pre-emi<strong>ne</strong>nce before being considered<br />
for a visa. This means they must demonstrate they<br />
have performed as stars or featured entertai<strong>ne</strong>rs;<br />
achieved national or international acclaim; appeared<br />
in concert halls, night clubs, <strong>and</strong> other establishments<br />
which have a distinguished reputation; <strong>and</strong><br />
have extensive commercial success proven by box<br />
office grosses or record sales. ,<br />
These rules are so harsh that even well-established<br />
groups such as UB40 <strong>and</strong> the Smiths had difficulties<br />
getting visas.<br />
In a recent Rolling Sto<strong>ne</strong> article, lan Copel<strong>and</strong><br />
of Frontier Booking International stated that these<br />
rules could have stifled the whole New Wave revolution.<br />
If they had been in effect soo<strong>ne</strong>r, groups such as<br />
Simple Minds, the Police, <strong>and</strong> Thomson Twins could<br />
have been denied visas.<br />
The INS argued that the availability of visas<br />
was being abused <strong>and</strong> had to be st<strong>and</strong>ardized. They<br />
claim they are not trying to deny the public’s right<br />
to see foreign talent. But, at the same time they<br />
admit that some INS clerks are not well-qualified to<br />
determi<strong>ne</strong> if a foreign rock b<strong>and</strong> deserves a visa.<br />
Although critics view the rules as quite extreme,<br />
various unions in the arts want the availability of<br />
visas narrowed even further.<br />

Why Not Try Something Different<br />
The Chronicle March 2, 1987 Page 11<br />
"O utrageous Fortu <strong>ne</strong>"<br />
teams M id le r <strong>and</strong> Long<br />
by Cathy Carter Chronicle Staff This dynamic duo find themselves in<br />
Shelley Long <strong>and</strong> Bette Midler are<br />
an unlikely combination but in Outra-<br />
geous Fortu<strong>ne</strong>, the combination works.<br />
Selecting these two women to play<br />
the leads in Outrageous Fortu<strong>ne</strong> was a<br />
stroke of genius. Their past roles serve<br />
to highlight the obvious differences be-<br />
tween Long’s character, Lauren, <strong>and</strong><br />
Midler’s S<strong>and</strong>y.<br />
Lauren comes from an upper class fa-<br />
mily. She went to all the right schools,<br />
took acting lessons <strong>and</strong> has been wor-<br />
king on her career as an actress for ye-<br />
ars - without making any mo<strong>ne</strong>y.<br />
In contrast, S<strong>and</strong>y has lower class<br />
roots. She is outgoing, brash <strong>and</strong> she<br />
uses her sexuality to -get what she<br />
wants. It rarely fails. ^<br />
Despite their obvious differences,<br />
Lauren <strong>and</strong> S<strong>and</strong>y team up to track<br />
down Michael, a man they have both<br />
been dating-at the same time.<br />
They end up with the CIA <strong>and</strong> the<br />
KGB on their trail. George Carlin, as<br />
Frank, an entrepre<strong>ne</strong>ur <strong>and</strong> honorary<br />
Indian in Mexico, lends an unwilling<br />
but helping h<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> becomes heavily<br />
involved in their antics.<br />
Carlin plays this character to the hilt.<br />
His first appearance on the screen<br />
shows him staggering drunk <strong>and</strong> in<br />
<strong>ne</strong>ed of mo<strong>ne</strong>y. He offers several servi-<br />
ces to Lauren <strong>and</strong> S<strong>and</strong>y for twenty-<br />
bucks’. Finally he agrees to help them<br />
track down their man. This error in jud-<br />
gement leaves him st<strong>and</strong>ing on the<br />
street wearing a dress <strong>and</strong> S<strong>and</strong>y’s<br />
sweater while the women search a<br />
house of ill repute for Michael.<br />
several sticky situations <strong>and</strong> must uses<br />
their quick wits <strong>and</strong> acting talents to<br />
free themselves. They change roles so<br />
quickly, you must keep a close eye on<br />
what is happening for fear of getting<br />
lost in the shuffle.<br />
When the search for Michael takes<br />
them to the shady side of town, S<strong>and</strong>y<br />
<strong>and</strong> Lauren find themselves fact-to-face<br />
with some dealers. Until this point,<br />
Lauren has been a classic Long charac-<br />
ter. Improvising <strong>and</strong> calling on years of<br />
acting class, she wields a toy gun taken<br />
from a child <strong>and</strong> announces they are<br />
the heat’. She holds them a gunpoint<br />
until they give them information about<br />
Michael’s whereabouts. They in turn<br />
give S<strong>and</strong>y a box full of mo<strong>ne</strong>y as a<br />
bribe.<br />
The story is o<strong>ne</strong> we’ve seen several<br />
times before but the sce<strong>ne</strong>s <strong>and</strong> situa-<br />
tions are <strong>ne</strong>w <strong>and</strong> intriguing. It is diffi-<br />
cult to find a time when you feel -it is<br />
safe to replenish the popcorn supply.<br />
Make sure you keep your eyes open or<br />
you may miss something important.<br />
This movie is fast paced <strong>and</strong> subtle<br />
li<strong>ne</strong>s are constantly being tossed back<br />
<strong>and</strong> forth between the characters. You<br />
are not likely to hear any snoring, from<br />
the audience at least, during showtime.<br />
In all, Outrageous Fortu<strong>ne</strong> is an ex-<br />
cellent form of entertainmentguaran-<br />
teed to keep your interest <strong>and</strong> tickle<br />
your funny bo<strong>ne</strong>. Just don’t expect to<br />
have to read between the li<strong>ne</strong>s for a<br />
deeper meaning; There isn’t o<strong>ne</strong>.<br />
Overall, it gets an 8.5 out of 10 here.<br />

Teac h e r’ s boo k p u b l i s h e d<br />
By ’Linda Cousins Chronicle staff<br />
For close to a year there has been a<br />
dragon in John Green’s closet.<br />
Green, a writing instructor at <strong>Durham</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>, recently had his book there’s<br />
a Dragon in my Closet’ published.<br />
The story is about Jonathan Longfellow<br />
Magee a little boy with a big problem.<br />
O<strong>ne</strong> day he discovers a "huge<br />
green fire-breathing dragon in his closet."<br />
"Jonathan takes his problem to his<br />
adult world <strong>and</strong> is confronted with<br />
adults who feel it is a fantasy," said<br />
Green.<br />
’<br />
"We mustKllow our children to fanta-<br />
size," says Green, "but they also <strong>ne</strong>ed<br />
to feel they can receive a great deal of<br />
pride by solving a problem on their-<br />
own."<br />
Jonathan draws up an invitation cor-<br />
dially inviting everyo<strong>ne</strong> to attend a dra-<br />
gon showing. When everyo<strong>ne</strong> see’s the<br />
dragon, they immediately panic. Jona-<br />
than however, decides that the dragon<br />
should find a <strong>ne</strong>w place to live, so he<br />
opens his storybook <strong>and</strong> the dragon<br />
climbs into the beautiful green forest.<br />
"There are many would-be writers<br />
who think writing for children is easy.<br />
It’s not. Children are a much more dif-<br />

Green started his career as a journa-<br />
list,, writing <strong>and</strong> gathering information<br />
for radio <strong>ne</strong>ws. For 15 years all his jobs<br />
were related to writing.<br />
He has had a total off 5 books <strong>and</strong><br />
plays published. The first book was pu-<br />
blished when he was 18 <strong>and</strong> still in uni-<br />
versity. It was called tody’s Place’. It<br />
was a story about a boy who has Leuke-<br />

The thing that Stewart hopes to<br />
accomplish with this workshop is to<br />
help the student become accustomed to<br />

Stewart explains that this iFWot a<br />

Xanth’s version of a VCR.<br />
Like C.S. Lewis’ Narnia series, Xanth<br />
is populated by creatures who hinder<br />
or help Jordan. Where Lewis uses run<br />
of the mill mythical fantasies, Anthony<br />
is likely to create his own. The introduc-<br />
tion of these creatures are small stories<br />
in themselves.<br />
In o<strong>ne</strong> battle sce<strong>ne</strong> Anthony takes<br />
time out to describe the adversaries. He<br />
explains the loyalties <strong>and</strong> creation of<br />
an unique army of headsto<strong>ne</strong>s. They all<br />
have a square solid body, a "grave" di-<br />
sposition <strong>and</strong> when they form a phalanx<br />
they are, rock, solid <strong>and</strong> immovable.<br />
They <strong>ne</strong>ver admit defeat.<br />

Community colleges <strong>ne</strong>ed to change their entrance<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ards, funding practices <strong>and</strong> attendance policies<br />
to become excellent, advises Dr. John Roueche. As<br />
Professor <strong>and</strong> Director, Community <strong>College</strong> Leader-<br />
ship Program, University of Texas at Austin, Roue-<br />
che was brought to <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> by the Professio-<br />
nal Development Council.<br />
Roueche told two packed audiences in <strong>Durham</strong> Col-<br />
lege’s Lecture Theatre that open access educational<br />
institutions, such as Ontario’s <strong>College</strong>s of Applied<br />
Arts <strong>and</strong> Technology (CAAT), face a far greater chal-<br />
lenge than universities because of the diverse ability<br />
levels of their students. The 50% attrition rate from<br />
first year CAATs shows many students do not have<br />
the basic skills to cope with <strong>College</strong> courses. As well,<br />
the Ministry of <strong>College</strong>s <strong>and</strong> Universities (MCU) has<br />
a narrow funding policy which forces students to<br />
spend too many hours working at jobs outside class<br />
to succeed with their programs.<br />
The award-winning teacher, writer <strong>and</strong> researcher<br />
has visited <strong>and</strong> consulted at 1100 community colle-<br />
ges, including 60 in Canada. Roueche says part-time<br />
students must be funded by MCU. Course loads for<br />
students who hold fulltimejobs should be limited to<br />
improve their chances of success. Students are trying<br />
to do too much at once, he concludes. The result is<br />
failure or dropout. He advocates partial loads <strong>and</strong><br />
flexible course hours for working or single parent<br />
students.<br />
Entry level testing is crucial to lowering attrition.<br />
"No o<strong>ne</strong> should get in until he or she is qualified."<br />
Roueche says this means pre-testing <strong>and</strong> increased<br />
remedial Courses in basic communication <strong>and</strong> math<br />
courses, such as those offered by <strong>Durham</strong>’s Ge<strong>ne</strong>ral<br />
Studies program. His "right to succeed" policy has<br />
shown dramatic success at Florida’s Miami Dade Col-<br />
lege where these policy changes doubled the number<br />
of graduates in five years.<br />
Roueche told teachers <strong>and</strong> administration at Dur-<br />
ham that a lax attendance policy is counter-produc-<br />
tive to student success. Open door access should not<br />
mean come-to-class-if-you-want attendance. "The<br />
only ways students learn from teachers is to be in<br />
the classroom so teachers can teach them." Too many<br />
students in a "right to fail" school do just that<br />
fail, his research shows.<br />
Attendance is the most powerful predictor of suc-<br />
cess, confirms Roueche. At Miami Dade, student at-<br />
tendance is closely monitored. Through that college’s<br />
’<br />
student intervention model, students who miss o<strong>ne</strong><br />
class are pho<strong>ne</strong>d immediately by their teachers. A<br />
follow-up pho<strong>ne</strong> call by college counsellors the same<br />
day asks why <strong>and</strong> volunteers help or course modifi-<br />
cation if <strong>ne</strong>cessary. A similar follow-up desk has been<br />
established by <strong>Durham</strong>’s student services depart-<br />
ment. At Miami Dade, however, students are suspen-<br />
ded after four missed classes. Word soon gets around<br />
that attendance is crucial to student success. The<br />
"we care about your success" mission at Miami Dade<br />
has shown positive results, with absenteeism elimi-<br />
nated.<br />
Dr. Roueche also addressed the <strong>ne</strong>ed for excellence<br />
in teaching to make a college successful. His book<br />
with George Baker, Access with Excellence reviews<br />
the qualities of excellent teachers first outli<strong>ne</strong>d in<br />
Plato’s The Republic 2000 years ago. High expectat-<br />
ions, dem<strong>and</strong>ing st<strong>and</strong>ards, unbridled enthusiasm<br />
-<strong>and</strong> deep interest in students top the list of valued<br />
qualities.<br />
Genius in teaching lies in relating to people - mo-<br />
tivating <strong>and</strong> developing values, attitudes <strong>and</strong> beliefs<br />
in others. Excellent teachers have commitment to<br />
do the things that all teachers know create<br />
excellence.<br />
Excellent teachers have high expectations of them-<br />
selves <strong>and</strong> their students. They dem<strong>and</strong> attendance<br />
<strong>and</strong> also stress the importance of teaching students<br />
to think for themselves. Frequent writing assign-<br />
ments teach students to think. Writing assignments<br />
as opposed to solely objective tests such as multiple<br />
guess, true or fake <strong>and</strong> short answers, teaches com-<br />
munication, analytic <strong>and</strong> problem solving skills.<br />
Roueche believes students now are expected to prac-<br />
tice regurgitation: memorizing meaningless ans-<br />
wers to meaningless questions. "Students learn to<br />
think by being required to write."<br />
The final themes of excellence Roueche addressed<br />
for his <strong>Durham</strong> audience are the <strong>ne</strong>ed for leadership<br />
<strong>and</strong> a part<strong>ne</strong>rship of all college staff- support, fac-<br />
ulty <strong>and</strong> administrative - to fulfill the college mis-<br />
sion of service in education. He stresses training in<br />
human relations skills for all person<strong>ne</strong>l,, from secu-<br />
rity guards to presidents. All must work together to<br />
achieve college goals. The excellent college sends a<br />
strong, steady message to staff <strong>and</strong> students the col-<br />
lege cares about their success. "<strong>College</strong>s <strong>ne</strong>ed staff<br />
who like themselves first; they are the o<strong>ne</strong>s who can<br />
like <strong>and</strong> serve others."<br />
*<br />
Caring about others contributes to pride in serving<br />
others <strong>and</strong> therefore- to excellence. Roueche recommends<br />
careful hiring-practices to ensure <strong>ne</strong>w hires<br />
match the values <strong>and</strong> attitudes of <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
"Emergence of pride in the organization is the first<br />
manifestation of the emergence of excellence."<br />
The accomplishment of this goal begins with college<br />
leadership. Just as the teachers’ leadership in<br />
the classroom is causal to student success, the administration’s<br />
leadership is causal to the college’s success.<br />
Concludes Roueche, leaving <strong>Durham</strong> with this<br />
challenge: "Excellent colleges don’t just happen! It<br />
is up to college administration to set the climate for<br />
the growth of excellence."<br />

By Kimberly Hawley Chronicle Staff<br />
Carol Cruwys has crossed many a<br />
river <strong>and</strong> she has certainly conquered<br />
many a mountain.<br />
Cruwys, 23, still has a full life<br />
ahead other, yet in some aspects, it se-<br />
ems as though she has already led a<br />
full life.<br />
She has experienced more ups <strong>and</strong><br />
downs in her athletic life alo<strong>ne</strong> so far<br />
than some see i,n a lifetime.<br />
From her figure skating years (6’-! 1<br />
years old), through her high school <strong>and</strong><br />
college years of basketball <strong>and</strong> volley-<br />
ball, Cruwys has encountered every<br />
physical injury imaginable:<br />
Everything from a chipped bo<strong>ne</strong> in<br />
her lower back, to a smashed cheek-<br />
bo<strong>ne</strong>, to her present conditions of bursi-<br />
tis tendonitis in her shoulder <strong>and</strong> her<br />
torn anterior cruciate, (the ligament.<br />
that causes the leg to hyper extend),<br />
has left Cruwys watching from the side-<br />
li<strong>ne</strong>s at many basketball arid volleyball<br />
games.<br />
"It’s heartbreaking just to watch,"<br />
confesses Cruwys, a dedicated athlete<br />
who wastes no time recovering from her<br />
injuries.<br />
"I push myself because I just want<br />
to be out on the court where I can strive<br />
to be the best that I can be," stated last<br />
years Woman Athlete of the Year.<br />
Will nothing slow this young<br />
woman down?<br />
No, nothing. Even bearing her<br />
daughter Jamie Jean, (who is now<br />
three), was not enough to see Cruwys’<br />
athletic career come to an end.<br />
Cruwys, who completed the first<br />
year of Busi<strong>ne</strong>ss Administration <strong>and</strong>,<br />
HAIRPLACE<br />
ft SPA<br />
SOlVia GSAHAM<br />
who is now in her second <strong>and</strong> final year<br />
of Sports Administration at <strong>Durham</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>, has for the most part dedicated<br />
her life to sports. (Except of course, for<br />
her precious time set aside for Jamie<br />
Jean.)<br />
So what’s in the future for the Ca-<br />
nadian <strong>College</strong> Athlectic Association’s<br />
i (CCAA) Canadian All-Star?<br />
For starters, Cruwys plans to return<br />
to <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> in Sept. for the<br />
Early Childhood Education (ECE) program.<br />
At this time, she will also play<br />
her last year of varsity sports. (According<br />
to rules <strong>and</strong> regulations, a person<br />
is limited to a maximum of four years<br />
of varsity play.)<br />
This desire for her ECE will be just<br />
the beginning for Cruwys.<br />
Her long term goal is to own <strong>and</strong><br />
operate her own nursery school. To take<br />
it o<strong>ne</strong> step further, she wants to combi<strong>ne</strong><br />
her sports administration with her<br />
early childhood education <strong>and</strong> dedicate<br />
<strong>and</strong> hour or two a day to sport activities<br />
for the pre-schoolers.<br />
"I want to have ’sporting school’ for<br />
pre-schoolers, to introduce them to <strong>and</strong><br />
interest them in sports at an early age.<br />
I see many people out there with athletics<br />
abilities, that could have been even<br />
better, if they had started When they<br />
were younger", said Cruwys.<br />
Cruwys recognizes the pre-school<br />
age to be the ideal time to teach <strong>and</strong><br />
assist young children with mobility<br />
skills;<br />
With a smile, Cruwys says, "I was<br />
inspired by the Soviet Union. They start<br />
their children at the pre-school level,<br />
<strong>and</strong> look at how well they do."<br />

The death of pop artist<br />
Andy Warhol has sparked<br />
some commments. from<br />
the staff <strong>and</strong> students of<br />
the Graphic Arts division.<br />
David Chesterton, teacher<br />
of Color, Layout <strong>and</strong> De-<br />
sign, had these words to<br />
say:<br />
"He will be missed. He<br />
poked fun at the design<br />
establishment <strong>and</strong> he did<br />
it in an interesting way."<br />
Andy Warhol himself<br />
would have considered it<br />
quite amusing that when<br />
he had to go, it was on the<br />
basis of a gall bladder, not<br />
something gr<strong>and</strong>iose like<br />
cancer."<br />
Warhol was undergoing<br />
gall bladder surgery at<br />
New York Hospital-Cor-<br />
<strong>ne</strong>ll Medical Centre.<br />
Second year graphic arts<br />
student Andrew Hunter<br />
said that his death was<br />
"pretty sad. He was a good<br />
artist, especially in the<br />
early sixties. I liked the di-<br />
versity of his work."<br />
First year graphic arts<br />
student Craig Sgencer<br />
said that WarhoFs "death<br />
was a great loss to the art<br />
world.<br />
Warhol is best known for<br />
his monolithic silkscreens<br />

Go Bus<br />
extension a<br />
possi bi l ity<br />
by John Doherty Chronicle staff<br />
A possible solution to transporta-<br />
tion <strong>and</strong> parking problems facing stu-<br />
dents living in the Uxbridge/Port Perry<br />
area is a GO bus extension to/from Os-<br />
hawa, including <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
The bus extension is tied into the<br />
expansion of the GO train, which should<br />
be in Whitby by 1988.<br />
An article in the Oshawa Times<br />
(Fob 20) stated that the train is coming<br />
to Oshawa despite rumours of cancella-<br />
tion. Gary Herrema, vice chairman of<br />
GO-Transit confirmed that the train<br />
will go into Oshawa. Diesel trains will<br />
pull into Oshawa, not the GO-ALRT<br />
(electric trains); they were cancelled.<br />
Other towns in the peripheral area<br />
of GO-Transit ( i.e. Bowmahville <strong>and</strong><br />
Uxbridge) received a bus service be-<br />
cause they were part of the initial study<br />
<strong>and</strong> start up of GO-Transit in 1967.<br />
These two li<strong>ne</strong>s were created to fill<br />
a <strong>ne</strong>ed for a link to major urban centers,<br />
Toronto/Oshawa. .<br />
To get a GO extension to Port<br />
Perry, a financial feasibility study must<br />
be do<strong>ne</strong> to determi<strong>ne</strong> if there is a suffi-<br />
cient <strong>ne</strong>ed to require the srevice.<br />

By Brian Chiasson<br />
Two weeks ago, Laura Robinson,, who<br />
teaches .Sports Administration,? <strong>and</strong><br />
Blake Fitzpatrick, who teaches pnoto-<br />
graphy, invited speakers for a discus-<br />
sion in the Lecture theatpe.<br />
Robinson, who advocates peace, was di-<br />
sappointed with the turnout (about 50).<br />
She is surprised that in a place of edu-<br />
cation they don’t let freedom of speech<br />
occur. "When you cross a li<strong>ne</strong>, over from<br />
democracy to what I would call totalita-<br />
rianism, it’s very, very dangerous. ,<br />
Rev. Bruce McLeod, o<strong>ne</strong> of Robinson’s<br />
speakers <strong>and</strong> a columnist with the To-<br />
ronto Star wrote that a Cougar tank<br />
stood all day outside Oshawa’s <strong>Durham</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>. "Students were invited to dis-<br />
cuss careers in the Canadian Forces<br />
with members of the Oshawa Regiment<br />
(Ontario Regiment). It was an official<br />
visit, approved by the college adminis-<br />
tration."<br />
McLeod mentions that through thejaer-<br />
sistence of Robinson, there were two<br />
unofficial noon-hour meetings on peace,<br />
despite oppositionfrom college authori-<br />
ties.<br />
"The meetings used videotape previews<br />
to focus on the <strong>ne</strong>gative propag<strong>and</strong>a ef-<br />
fects of the $56-million television se-<br />
ries, America," which portrays the<br />
United States, in the late 1990s, under<br />
the remorseless grip of Soviet rule.<br />
McLeod mentions that <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
President Mel Garl<strong>and</strong>, was advised of<br />
the meetings but did not sanction them<br />
<strong>and</strong> "any posted notices must be appro-<br />
ved by the administration. Subse-<br />
quently the college registrar, without<br />
looking at the posters, denied permis-<br />
sion for their use. He explai<strong>ne</strong>d that<br />
they did not reflect the college’s view<br />
of peace.’"<br />
McLeod stated that <strong>College</strong> presidents<br />
should not prefer the display of Cougar<br />
tanks over the discussion of mutual re-<br />
spect.<br />

.<br />
shouldn’t have to agree with adminis-<br />
tration. She’s <strong>ne</strong>ver seen a written po-<br />
licy from the college on peace or on po-<br />
sters. "If you go to any university you’ll<br />
see all kinds of posters up advertising<br />
a whole menage of seminars <strong>and</strong> talks<br />
<strong>and</strong> discussions that the university may<br />
or may not agree with.<br />
"They have decided that the posters are<br />
not going to go up anyway, even if the<br />
poster said This event not endorsed by<br />
<strong>Durham</strong> college.’"<br />
Robinson, bothered by the hypocrisy<br />
says, "I think it’s completely inappro-<br />
priate, especially at a place of educa-<br />
tion. I think it’s a major insult to all<br />
the students here...to make that deci-<br />
sion for them is a major slap in the face<br />
to every single solitary student here."<br />
Herb Kirkcon<strong>ne</strong>ll, director of student<br />
affairs <strong>and</strong> registrar, says he has not-<br />
hing to say. "I’m not sure I can trust<br />
the ability of the first year journalism<br />
students to report fairly <strong>and</strong> accurately<br />
based on this year’s experience."<br />
Kirkcon<strong>ne</strong>ll says the school’s policy is<br />
available through Brian Beatsoh, the<br />
director of the plant.<br />
Beatson says he "doesn’t have o<strong>ne</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
to see Merrill Cook, the college admini-<br />
strator.<br />
Cook says the school has an official po-<br />
licy; an official position but it’s not writ-<br />
ten down on paper yet. "There hasn’t<br />
been any real <strong>ne</strong>ed to have it on paper;<br />
we’ve known what our policy is for the<br />
last twenty years."<br />
"If they had wanted to, <strong>and</strong>-put a notice’<br />
in the Chronicle, advertising <strong>and</strong> pro-<br />
moting it... there would be no hang-up<br />
about something like that at all... It’s<br />
a legitimate vehicle for communication.<br />
Bill Swan, the publisher of The Chro-<br />
nicle says, "Yes, she could have adver-<br />
tised with The Chronicle. It is a comple-<br />
tely autonomous vehicle of expression."<br />
Shawn Chambers, a second year office<br />
systems administration student, drove<br />
the Cougar tank an armored vehicle<br />
with a 76 mm; gun through Oshawa<br />
to the college. "We’rS recruiting officers<br />
for the Ontario Regiment."<br />
Chambers, 2Lt. Sg., said the regiment<br />
has full approval of the city <strong>and</strong> the<br />
region. "We <strong>ne</strong>ed to educate the public."<br />
Staff Sergeant Dan Matthews, of the<br />
Ontario Regiment, says the Cougar<br />
tank is just a tool of the trade that the<br />
students who get a job will leam to use.<br />
"It’s good for public relations."<br />
Robinson says she wouldn’t join the On-<br />
tario Regiment but it doesn’t mean that<br />
they can,t come. "They’re a creditable<br />
recognized source of employment for pe-<br />
ople. I’m not saying that we can’t have<br />
armed forces; I’m not that naive" but to<br />
allow a tank to park at your front door<br />
<strong>and</strong> the armed forces recruiting you,<br />
you should allow an alternative view<br />
having little to do with recruiting for<br />
the armed forces."<br />
Robinson says her posters were so inno-<br />
cuous.<br />
With permission from Methuen press,<br />
who published the book Dear World,<br />
<strong>and</strong> permission from Ben Wicks <strong>and</strong> his<br />
wife Doreen, who pufrthe book together;<br />
she had their blessing to reproduce the<br />
poetry. The speakers <strong>and</strong> the time they<br />
were speaking were under<strong>ne</strong>ath the po-<br />
etry; nothing else. Very unthreate-<br />
ning.<br />
"It didn’t say Stop Wars Now^.it didn’t<br />
say Americans are awful; it didn’t say<br />
anything like that.<br />
Wicks <strong>and</strong> his wife would have spoke<br />
but were going out of the country.<br />
’Robinson says she has competed since<br />
age 16 in cycling, cross- country skiing<br />
<strong>and</strong> rowing, on the national <strong>and</strong> inter-<br />
national level. In all races "I would <strong>ne</strong>-<br />
ver win the race by making it^more dif-<br />
ficult for someo<strong>ne</strong> else to win. I would<br />
<strong>ne</strong>ver do anything against my oppo<strong>ne</strong>nt<br />
so I would win. If I can’t win on my own<br />
ability then I’m not good enough to win.<br />

Blue Jays could play in Oshawa<br />
By Cathy CarterChromcle Staff<br />
How about those Blue Jays? In Os-<br />
hawa?<br />
It’s a possibility according to Toronto<br />
Mayor Art Eggleton. If Toronto is awar-<br />
ded the 1996 Olympics, the Blue Jays<br />
will <strong>ne</strong>ed somewhere to play.<br />
"And Oshawa is the likely place,"<br />
said Eggleton in a speech to <strong>Durham</strong><br />
Regional Council Feb. 11.<br />
This comes as a further incentive for<br />
<strong>Durham</strong> Region to join the Federation<br />
of Canadian Municipalities (FCM).<br />
Currently, <strong>Durham</strong> is the largest re-<br />
gion riot a member of FCM <strong>and</strong> Oshawa<br />
is the largest municipality not involved<br />
with the federation in Canada, said<br />
FCM president Richard Gilbert at the<br />
meeting.<br />
"There is an increasing number of<br />
common concerns <strong>and</strong> <strong>ne</strong>eds within the<br />
municipalities," Eggleton said.<br />
Sharing things like the Blue Jays <strong>and</strong><br />
the Olympics would be easier if both<br />
regions were members of the FCM, he<br />
added.<br />

Alberta bound. Alberta bound, how I<br />
long to be Alberta bound...’<br />
This may very well be the song racing<br />
through the minds of the <strong>Durham</strong> Lady<br />
Lords volleyball team members.<br />
The national college championships<br />
will be held in Red Deer, Alberta on<br />
March 25-28, <strong>and</strong> our Lady Lords hope<br />
to be there.<br />
This year has been kind of a disap-<br />
pointment up to now, but we’ll be there<br />
again...I know we will", said the wo-<br />
men’s volleyball coach, Stan Marchut.<br />
Last year the volleyball team cap-<br />
tured the bronze medal in Victoria, B.C.<br />
But, this year is going to be a different<br />
ball game.<br />
TH I S<br />
The team must finish fourth or better<br />
to automatically qualify for the Ontario<br />
<strong>College</strong> Athletic Association (O.C.A.A.)<br />
championships, which will offer them<br />
the chance to reach Alberta.<br />
If they finish fifth or worse, they<br />
would still have a chance to qualify for<br />
the national finals at the O.C.A.A. pre-<br />
finals which were held this past wee-<br />
kend.<br />
At press time, the volleyball team<br />
was sitting in fifth position with a 6-7<br />
win loss. -C^<br />
On Thursday night the team was to<br />
play their last game at Centenial Col-<br />
lege, which would determi<strong>ne</strong> their final<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ings.<br />
If the team was to come up with anot-<br />
her loss, they would leave for Sheridan<br />

Lo rd s w i n ag a i n SPORTS SCOREBOARD<br />
By Andrew Wedge Chronicle staff<br />
On Friday Feb. 6 the <strong>Durham</strong><br />
Lords won a thrilling 92-91 overtime<br />
game over the Cambrian Golden<br />
Shields.<br />
The night belonged to Ken Bab-<br />
cock, who scored a season high 26 points<br />
for the Lords. "Tonight we played under<br />
control <strong>and</strong> kept our composure. The in-<br />
side game won it for us."<br />
Another strong performer for the<br />
Lords was Rob Deylin who scored 13.<br />
points including two key free throws in<br />
overtime.<br />
On Feb. 11 th.e Lords travelled to<br />
St. Lawrence college to play the league<br />
leading Vikings.<br />
St. Lawrence’s 14 point lead at the<br />
half was too, much to overcome as the<br />
Lords were defeated 83-73.<br />
Once again Ken Babcock played a<br />
strong game for the Lords scoring 17<br />
points while Frank Raimondi chipped<br />
in with 12.<br />
The game proved costly for the<br />
Lords as they lost their leading scorer<br />
Harry Sullen with a severely sprai<strong>ne</strong>d<br />
ankle.<br />
On Feb. 21 the Lords won a laugher<br />
over the lowly Lambton Lions, 1.14-48.<br />
Coach Dave Cutler prepared his<br />
troops for their playoff game against<br />
Cambrian by making them play man<br />
to man defense. "Ever since we k<strong>ne</strong>w<br />
what the final st<strong>and</strong>ings would be our<br />
practices have been Cambrien orien-<br />
tated." V<br />
Frank Raimondi led the attack for<br />
the Lords scoring 17 points while John<br />
Wells added 16 first half points.<br />

The season complete, the <strong>Durham</strong><br />
Lords men’s basketball team looks for-<br />
ward to this weekend’s OCAA Tier II<br />
tournament in North Bay.<br />
With o<strong>ne</strong> game to play the Lords have<br />
finished in third place with a record of<br />
11-4 behind St. Lawrence Vikings of<br />
Kingston (14-1) <strong>and</strong> Cambrian Golden<br />
Shield of Sudbury (13-2). The other fi-<br />
nalist is the fourth place club Sir S<strong>and</strong>-<br />
ford Fleming Knights of Peterborough<br />
(10-6). .<br />
<strong>Durham</strong>’s opening match up is on<br />
Friday at 2 p.m. against Cambrian. The<br />
season series between the two clubs was<br />
extremely close with Golden Shield ta-<br />
king a 92-90 decision in Sudbury <strong>and</strong><br />
Lords winning 92-91 in Oshawa.<br />
Lords will have to contain hot shoo-<br />
ter David Schuster of Cambrian, who<br />
scored 20 points in each of the earlier<br />
games. Also dangerous are the Tym-<br />
chuk brothers, Paul <strong>and</strong> John. Paul<br />
worked well inside in the Sudbury game<br />
notching 25 points. John played well in<br />
both contests getting 19 points in the<br />
first game <strong>and</strong> 27 counters in the se-<br />
cond.<br />
Should the Lords beat Cambrian<br />
Friday they’ll probably take on the Vi-<br />
kings in the final Saturday.<br />
What will the Lords have to do to<br />
beat a team that lost just o<strong>ne</strong> game all<br />
season <strong>and</strong> be.at them both times?<br />
<strong>Durham</strong> can take home the gold<br />
medal IF:<br />
1. They can stop St. Lawrence centre<br />
