Page 16 The Chronicle March 2, 1987 Go Bus extension a possi bi l ity by John Doherty Chronicle staff A possible solution to transporta- tion and parking problems facing students living in the Uxbridge/Port Perry area is a GO bus extension to/from Os- hawa, including Durham College. The bus extension is tied into the expansion of the GO train, which should be in Whitby by 1988. An article in the Oshawa Times (Fob 20) stated that the train is coming to Oshawa despite rumours of cancella- tion. Gary Herrema, vice chairman of GO-Transit confirmed that the train will go into Oshawa. Diesel trains will pull into Oshawa, not the GO-ALRT (electric trains); they were cancelled. Other towns in the peripheral area of GO-Transit ( i.e. Bowmahville and Uxbridge) received a bus service be- cause they were part of the initial study and start up of GO-Transit in 1967. These two lines were created to fill a need for a link to major urban centers, Toronto/Oshawa. . To get a GO extension to Port Perry, a financial feasibility study must be done to determine if there is a suffi- cient need to require the srevice. HUG COUPON Good for one BIG HUG redeemable from any participating Human Being Try Hugs - Not Drugs ^ ^ Co l leg e h ead s sa n cti o n wa r By Brian Chiasson Two weeks ago, Laura Robinson,, who teaches .Sports Administration,? and Blake Fitzpatrick, who teaches pnoto- graphy, invited speakers for a discussion in the Lecture theatpe. Robinson, who advocates peace, was di- sappointed with the turnout (about 50). She is surprised that in a place of edu- cation they don’t let freedom of speech occur. "When you cross a line, over from democracy to what I would call totalita- rianism, it’s very, very dangerous. , Rev. Bruce McLeod, one of Robinson’s speakers and a columnist with the To- ronto Star wrote that a Cougar tank stood all day outside Oshawa’s Durham College. "Students were invited to dis- cuss careers in the Canadian Forces with members of the Oshawa Regiment (Ontario Regiment). It was an official visit, approved by the college administration." McLeod mentions that through thejaer- sistence of Robinson, there were two unofficial noon-hour meetings on peace, despite oppositionfrom college authori- ties. "The meetings used videotape previews to focus on the negative propaganda ef- fects of the $56-million television se- ries, America," which portrays the United States, in the late 1990s, under the remorseless grip of Soviet rule. McLeod mentions that Durham College President Mel Garland, was advised of the meetings but did not sanction them and "any posted notices must be approved by the administration. Subse- quently the college registrar, without looking at the posters, denied permission for their use. He explained that they did not reflect the college’s view of peace.’" McLeod stated that College presidents should not prefer the display of Cougar tanks over the discussion of mutual re- spect.

She’s never seen a written policy from the college on peace or on posters. "If you go to any university you’ll see all kinds of posters up advertising a whole menage of seminars and talks and discussions that the university may or may not agree with. "They have decided that the posters are not going to go up anyway, even if the poster said This event not endorsed by Durham college.’" Robinson, bothered by the hypocrisy says, "I think it’s completely inappro- priate, especially at a place of educa- tion. I think it’s a major insult to all the students here...to make that deci- sion for them is a major slap in the face to every single solitary student here." Herb Kirkconnell, director of student affairs and registrar, says he has nothing to say. "I’m not sure I can trust the ability of the first year journalism students to report fairly and accurately based on this year’s experience." Kirkconnell says the school’s policy is available through Brian Beatsoh, the director of the plant. Beatson says he "doesn’t have one and to see Merrill Cook, the college admini- strator. Cook says the school has an official policy; an official position but it’s not written down on paper yet. "There hasn’t been any real need to have it on paper; we’ve known what our policy is for the last twenty years." "If they had wanted to, and-put a notice’ in the Chronicle, advertising and pro- moting it... there would be no hang-up about something like that at all... It’s a legitimate vehicle for communication. Bill Swan, the publisher of The Chro- nicle says, "Yes, she could have adver- tised with The Chronicle. It is a completely autonomous vehicle of expression." Shawn Chambers, a second year office systems administration student, drove the Cougar tank an armored vehicle with a 76 mm; gun through Oshawa to the college. "We’rS recruiting officers for the Ontario Regiment." Chambers, 2Lt. Sg., said the regiment has full approval of the city and the region. "We need to educate the public." Staff Sergeant Dan Matthews, of the Ontario Regiment, says the Cougar tank is just a tool of the trade that the students who get a job will leam to use. "It’s good for public relations." Robinson says she wouldn’t join the On- tario Regiment but it doesn’t mean that they can,t come. "They’re a creditable recognized source of employment for people. I’m not saying that we can’t have armed forces; I’m not that naive" but to allow a tank to park at your front door and the armed forces recruiting you, you should allow an alternative view having little to do with recruiting for the armed forces." Robinson says her posters were so inno- cuous. With permission from Methuen press, who published the book Dear World, and permission from Ben Wicks and his wife Doreen, who pufrthe book together; she had their blessing to reproduce the poetry. The speakers and the time they were speaking were underneath the poetry; nothing else. Very unthreate- ning. "It didn’t say Stop Wars Now^.it didn’t say Americans are awful; it didn’t say anything like that. Wicks and his wife would have spoke but were going out of the country. ’Robinson says she has competed since age 16 in cycling, cross- country skiing and rowing, on the national and inter- national level. In all races "I would never win the race by making it^more dif- ficult for someone else to win. I would never do anything against my opponent so I would win. If I can’t win on my own ability then I’m not good enough to win. 1 7th AN NUAL ATHLETIC BANQUET Friday, April 1 0, 1 987 Polish Veteran’s Hall Stevenson Rd.

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