Canadian Blood Services test DC students By Tania Kwong Chronldo Staff Ever dream of being an actor sonic day? If your blood is type A, then it may be in the cards. This tongue-in-cheek analysis was offered by the Canadian Blood Services at their free blood typing clinic Sept. 24. in the pit. People were able to find out not only what blood type they were, but also cot a laugh at being told which career their blood type slotted them Into. The test only takes a few minutes. According to Canadian Blood Services, a 50-yeai-old Japanese belief says that dif- ’ ferent blood types can determine certain occupations. It’s a fun idea tliat raises awareness for the clinics. "Each blood type falls into a different occupation category," said Sue Harris, Clinic take the b lo o dy te st Photo by Tania Kwong REGISTERED NURSE: Judy Hogan performs blood typing test at Durham College for the Canadian Blood Services on Sept. 24 Recruitment Co-ordlnator at Canadian Blood Services. People with type-A blood are said to be sensitive and considerate and are often police officers, lawyers, actors and writers. About 42 per cent of Canadians have type-A blood, the second largest blood group. Type AB-blood is the small- est blood group that only three per cent of Canadians share. People with this blood type are said to be proud and easygoing and most likely to be team leaders, singers/actors, and teachers. About nine per cent of Canadians have type-B blood. People with this blood type are often adventurous and optimistic and are most likely to be cooks, photographers, designers and journalists. "The most common blood type in Canada is 0 positive," What DC men are lookin By Sabrina Albis Chronicle Staff In the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. A journalist named Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) writes for a magazine called Composure. Because she writes all the "how-to" articles she decides to date a guy for 10 days, while doing everything imaginable to annoy him, just so she can write an article on how to lose a guy in 10 days ’ (hence the movie’s title). Anderson picks her victim at a bar while out with friends and she ends up choosing Benjamin ’Ben’ Barry (Matthew McConaughey). The only glitch is Andie ends up falling for Ben (and vice versa). Anderson tries everything.to get rid of Barry, everything from talking about having kids, to buying "him a puppy and letting it urinate on his pool table. So if those things drove a guy nuts in a movie what pushes the average guy buttons enough to stay away from a girl? Do girls know what makes a guy stay clear of a girl? Girls and guys at Durham College give their opinion on the do’s and don’t of dating. Mechanical engineering student, Matt Ducey, 19, wants some personality in, a girl. "I want looks, personality, humoiir and 1 don’t want someone who’s stuck up and selfish or that . Someone has no personality." Brent Roe, 20, currently in police foundations, doesn’t mention looks at all, "I want someone who is flexi- ble, understanding, caring and inde- pendent. I don’t want a girl that’s possessive, narrow minded or too dependent on me." In UOIT for biological sciences. 17- year-old Ricardo Hanipaul, wants someone who gets along with his friends and can be expressive. "I want a girl that has beauty, intelligence, that can have a good time. who is compatible with my friends and is able to communicate her feelings and listen to, mine." Harripaul doesn’t like a domineering personality. "I don’t like nagging, clinginess, possessiveness or a girl always wanting to dominate me." Conor Gilhooly, 18. Trent history major wants, someone he can have a conversation with. "I want someone who’s easy to talk to, gets along with ray friends, and someone with agood sense of humour. I don’t want a girl who’s overly sensitive or possessive of our time together, not letting me do things with other people." James Maglietta, 22, an advertising student, said what annoys him about a girl is when she has no personality, she isn’t talkative or if she’s just downright boring. "Calling all the time when I’m hot her boyfriend Is a huge turn off," he adds. "And being late. If you say 10 minutes don’t be half an hour." Now that you see what a guy looks for in a girl, let’s see what five girls think guys like in a woman. Shannon Alexander, 20, an office administration medical student, thinks guys look for a mix of personality and looks. "Guys like someone honest, loyal, good-looking, friendly and outgoing. They don’t want someone that’s rude, selfish or skanky." . Carol Austin, 35, also in medical administration agrees with Alexander on the traits guys do and don’t like. "They want a girl who’s outgoing and friendly and likes to drink beer. They don’t like girls that are too quiet, introverted, or slutty," Sacha Ghent, 19, entertainment administration student, thinks guy’s want someone who is smart. "They like someone intelligent and they don’t like a girl who’s-pessimistic or lazy." Kit Armstrong, 20, studying early childhood education, disagrees with both Alexander and Austin on guys not liking promiscuous girls, "They want someone who is friendly, outgo-, ing, with a good body, who is easy to get along with and someone who is easy to get into bed. They don’t want someone clingy, stuck up, who does- n’t get along well,with their friends, who is too smart and who has too said Harris. "0 negative, which is the universal donor, can donate blood to any- body." Thirty nine per cent of Canadians have 0-posltlve blood, while only seven per cent have 0 negative. Type-0 people are said to be natural leaders and born achievers and are likely to be accoun- tants, politicians, therapists and salespeople. "(Hood typing is a special event," said Harris. "Everybody needs to know Iheir blood type. You get a card, you put it in your wallet and (nit it away for safekeep- ing." The way Canadian Blood Services determines blood type is simple. They take a sample of blood and mix it with Anti-Sera types A and B. Depending on which one reacts to the blood, they can determine the type right away. Canadian Blood Services’ Is a non-profit organization that supplies blood to about 58 liospltals in Ontario alone. For students who are extreme- ly afraid of needles, they don’t recommend doing blood typing at their mobile clinics. "It was okay; it didn’t hurt at all, just a little prick," said Mackenna Senkiw, a first-year Journalism student. For people who missed out on the blood typing clinic, there will be one at the Durham College Whitby cam- pus on Nov. 25 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. many friends herself." April Belliveau, 19, also in early childhood education agrees with Armstrong on guys liking girls that are openly sexual and sexually.active. "They want a girl who is smart,’pretty, thin, honest, and promiscuous. They don’t want a girl who is stupid, ugly, bitchy and pushy." So there you have It, what not to do to get a guy and what to do. Of course, this is not foolproof because every guy has his own tastes but this is just a guideline. Maglietta gives the best advice overall saying that girls have to stay true to themselves. " Don’t fake who you are. Just be yourself." Thafs the best advice when it comes to getting a guy. Were the girls oh target in guessing what guys really want in a girl? In some ways yes, in some ways no.. Many of the guys mentioned looks. intelligence, being nice and easy to talk to as traits they want in a girl. However none of the guys said they wanted a girl that had a perfect body or a girl who was promiscuous so the girls were not right about that. . Also it seems the guys were more Interested in personality then looks which means that girls think about their looks far more then guys do. So maybe the old saying Is really true. Men are from Mars and women are from Venus.
THE CHRONICLE September,.30 2003 NEWS Protective programs offered Research shows 100% employed upon graduation By Gory Phlllips Chronlcio Staff There are many different avenues theses days that can be taken to enter the world of law enforcement. Here at Durham College there are several programs offered geared towards a career in one of the protective services, including; Law and Security Administration, Public and Private Investigation, 911 Emergency Response, Police Foundations (January start) and Legal Administration/Law Clerk. After completing one of these two-year courses, students have the option of transferring into tlie U01T for an additional two years to try for a Bachelor of Arts in Integrated Justice Sllidies, a four-year program. The school of Criminology and Integrated Justice at UOIT teaches concepts, theo- ries, critical thinking, victims ’..rights, ethical decision mak- ing and many more areas, Fhe proud Dean of the School of Justice at Durham College is Bert Dejeet. "We rank ourselves first in the GTA," says Dejeet. "We are part of a college that’s highly desired." After taking programs through the School of Justice at Durham College, graduates are highly sought after, according to Dejeet. "Our graduates are 100 per cent employed upon graduation, according to our research." Although it may not be with a police force, students still find jobs in other related areas like security or private policing. "There arc so many jobs out there waiting for new recruits," says an optimistic Deject. The Durham Regional Police Service and Durham College have a partnership with the same goals in mind, training future police officers and finding jobs for those they have trained. About 25 Durham Regional Police officers help train about 700 other officers in areas of law enforcement. "They in fact have all of their training personnel resi- dent here at the college," explains Dejeet. Faculty members for the Durham Regional Police and the college are exchanged, to better train students and police officers alike. The police use DC students for training scenarios that simulate car take-downs, bank robberies and domestic disputes. Taking n program tliat deals with law and security or policing may help in finding a job with a police force, but it isn’t necessary.Anyone can take the required tests that will lead you into a job with a regional, municipal, provin- cial or national police force, not just graduates of a related course. , One such individual is" Mike Penney. As the holder of a BA in sociology from Trent University, he has just completed the three tests that will lead him into the application process required in order to become a cop. "To begin the testing process you must contact the Pholo by Cory Philups POLICE PARKED ON DURHAM SITE: Police cars parked at Durham Co«ege to help with protective programs ATS testing centre by phone or e-mail. When you select a testing date and give a pay- ment of around $288 a con- firmation package will arrive in the mail," explains Penney. Durham College has on- site testing facilities that students can train at to prepare for initial testing. "The initial testing is made up of the newly initiated PATI, a general aptitude test. the WCT, a writing compre- hension test, and the PREP, a short physical test consisting of a shuttle run and obstacle course," says Penney. "Upon successful completion of these tests you qualify for the B-PAD, a video simulation test that places you in the shoes of a constable respond- ing to a variety of police situ- ations." Penney has successfully completed all three of the aforementioned tests and is currently in the application process. He is one of many recent graduates vying for a job with any of Ontario s police forces. Fight hard to get a parkin By Sabrina Albis Chronicle Stalf___________ Homer Simpson once described the act of driving as gas, break, honk. Gas, break, honk. Durham College students have another way to describe, the act of parking at our school. A pain in the ass. Students are peeved with the lack of parking, the amount of traffic and liaving to walk from far-away lots to get to their classes and Into’ the school itself. Students gathered as early as August to get parking passes for the overcrowded school parking lot for this year but spaces were reserved quickly. Students are still left without parking spots now. And to make matters worse the price of parking permits ranges as high as $192 to park daily from September to August. Ashlea Hunt, 22, who works at the Durham College parking registration desk, agreed parking has been hectic and she knows why; "With the new university being here and all the students graduating from high school and coming here we sold out of parking spots the second week of school. We do have a waiting list and anyone on it is pretty much guaranteed a spot" Despite the reasoning behind the overcrowded parking lots and shortage of conve- nient parking spots many students at Durham are fed up with the situation. Adrienne Jones, a Graphic Design student, thinks more parking spots are needed. "It’s ridiculous! There are not enough parking spaces for the amount of drivers here and the walk from the parking lot is too far. There should be day passes or more parking passes to go around." Legal Administration student Kayla Hewett thinks parking needs to be better planned. "The parking is a dis- aster and it’s very disorga- nized," she says. Aaron Smith, 18, a Police Foundations student, thinks construction is the culprit. "Parking is not good now but looks like it will be a lot better once construction is done." A few other Police Foundations students voiced their opinions on parking as well. Geoff Thompson wasn’t pleased with the way the permits were.being handed out. "Parking passes were made available only on a first-serve basis and yet I pay to come to this:school and I have no place to park. Nor will J get a parking pass when the waiting list is already 600 students long." Mike Vandervoort thinks parking is time-consuming. "It takes 35 ^minutes to get here and 45 minutes to get a spot. Someone was not thinking. You should give us parking passes for free or at least free coffee while we wait in the freaking line-up!" Nick Macklnnon doesn’t have to walk very far from his parking space but he isn’t happy with parking pass prices. "It’s stupid. We pay $200 a year to park a 10. minute walk away from the school. Ridiculous." / r ’21 "If your application is selected you will then be sub- ject to two interviews with a panel of police officers, a background check, a psycho- logical evaluation and finally a complete physical by a licensed doctor/’ explains Penney. "If you are eligible, you can be offered a position with the police force that has chosen you. If you except, you will be sent to Aylmer, Ont. and given three months training at the Ontario Police College at a cost of $5,000." Erin Tooley agrees with Mackinrion. "It’s too much money for a parking pass when you aren’t even guaranteed a spot or your spot is in a big lake of mud." Chris Dobbs thinks public transit is a better option than driving yourself to school. "There is no point in driving to school, especially when for $2001 don’t even get a spot. It sucks! Take the bus here." Graphic Design student Donna Druckmuller thinks many spots are being wasted. "It’s not really fair that the parking people tell you the lot is full but when you drive past them you find 20 empty spots. The parking just sucks! Last year it was cheaper too and there were so many places to park. It’s not cool. I feel like we are all getting ripped off."
