OSAP fu n d i n g to r i se by 1 7 %<br />

By Jim Hutchinson Chronicle Staff<br />

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 />

7)Loan repayment policies will be softe<strong>ne</strong>d for graduating<br />

students who have trouble repaying loans<br />

to the Ontario government. .This improvement will<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 />

around <strong>and</strong> destroying property.<br />

ments.<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 />

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 />

Speakers were Max Alien, who pro-<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 />

look like as if the college endorses these<br />

people."<br />

"I have Ho comment,^ says Kirkcon-<br />

Robinson says, "They’re saying stu-<br />

this is a dangerous attitude: I’d expect’<br />

this in USSR but not in Canada."<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 />

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 />

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 />

LETTER TO TH E EDITOR<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 />

By Jim Hutchinson Chronicle Staff<br />

^<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 />

Lautens. We gotcha.<br />

"Under collective agreements with<br />

gender-free combination of length of<br />

service <strong>and</strong> qualifications, Ross Perry<br />

a spokesman for the school trustees as-<br />

sociation told t^ie Star last week.<br />

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

should continue. The government<br />

should not confuse their obligation to<br />

find <strong>and</strong> keep the best teachers, <strong>and</strong> is-<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 />

Eastdale Collegiate with Johanson as<br />

guest speaker, part of the ^ sexuality<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.

i g nores lack of fund i ng<br />

<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 />

By Steve Washbum Chronicle staff<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 />

ficult audience. When an adult picks up<br />

a book he feels obliged to finish it.That<br />

says Green.<br />

Children’s writers today are in con-<br />

messages that are "symbollic <strong>and</strong> mora-<br />

of heroi<strong>ne</strong> <strong>and</strong> hero competing against<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 />

provide constructive criticism.<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 />

pounds on the differences between a<br />

C o l l e g e po l i c i es <strong>ne</strong> ed c h a n g i n g<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 />

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 />

Co l leg e h ead s sa n cti o n wa r<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 />

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 />

You weren’t supposed to read this ad ..<br />

In an interview with team player Carol<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 />
