Gorecki comments on thetheft, "I haven't pursued it. Aweekend, there's no one around.The boxes while -not full, therewas a considerable amount ofchange in them."
Gorecki calculates the amountcollected to date is $18.94. Theboxes will stay in the cafeteriauntil this Friday. Gorecki hopesthat "maybe things will getbetter", and the pub is considering making a donation.
Gorecki states, "HopefUlly,students will be generousenough to throw in their change."He considers the theft, "All inall, it's just another valuablelesson."

Unicef Boxes StolenBy Eliz abeth McCallister
Director of Cultural AffairsStan Gorecki placed ten UnicefHallowe'en boxes around camPl!JS.
Four boxes were located ontop of the vending machines,three by the cafeteria cashregisters, one in the pub, andone in the Students' Unionoffice. •
Gorecki left the boxes duringthe Reading Break weekend.By Monday, all four boxes ontop of the vending machineshad disappeared. Gorecki says,'" was shocked and dismayed."

we hold open forums, there isgenerally the most abysmalattendance ~ossible. '" Perhaps, it gives us an understanding of what kind of people wehave here at this College."
Darroch is weighing the results,of this referendum carefully."There are unseen ramifications,"she says. Kerr argues, "I don'twant it (the results) implementedthis year. It would not be an exercise in good judgement."
While Kerr is a ferventsupporter of bilingualism, shesays, "I just don't think it shouldbe at the detriment of theschool." She feels, "It is time tobe very diplomatic."
The final summing up of thereferendum is best stated byKerr. "It is total hypocrisy whenpeople sit up in the balcony andcriticize student leaders whenthey have ' n6 idea of what'sgoing on. People's opinionsare important; yet if they aren'twilling to do anything about it,how important is it to them?"

survey of students on thesubject on the food service, thetwo main comments that seemedto predominate were the foodquality and the prices. Onewas the food was not bad, andthat some of it like the delisandwiches, the grill, muffins,soup and the occasional entreewere quite good. The onecomment which seemed tostand out was that the food wasfar too expensive for students'means. Respondents felt thateither the price of food shoulddecrease or the food qualityimprove dramatically. As onestudent put it, "YOlj don't getwhat you pay for."

Other changes instituted byCanteen included an assistantfor Eddie, increased wages forstaff with "benefits to come."
Food Ombudsman PattiSeguin also feels the takeoverof Rill by Canteen of Canada isa positive sign.

Rill Food TakeoverBy George Browne
The takeover of Rill foods byCanteen of Canada can belikened to a change of government. There is a potential formajor changes, but on thesurface things are much thesame.
Canteen of Canada, a American based company headquartered in Chicago, specializing in cafeteria services andvending machines, has madesome major changes below thesurface in Rill's operation. Thebiggest so far was to transfermore authority to Eddie, theRill Foods manager at Glendon.As Eddie enthused about Canteen Canada's new managementpolicy, "So far, it's been verygood." He said thatcomparedto Rill's more centralized -styleof management, he had morecontrol; and this made it possiblefor him to be much moreresponsive to student requestsand complaints. Explaining hispersonal philosophy on service,Eddie said, "The reason we'rehere is because of the stUdents.... Anything you want, youshould get. That's what I callservice." Conceding that it washard to satisfy everyone andsome suggestions were impractical, Eddie still felt everything is possible for students.To explain his quitting and thenreturning to work, Eddie said

Mr. Sorbara strongly believesin the need for bilingual secondary education in Ontarioand that is partly a result ofhis stay at Glendon. Althoughhe admits that he cannot favourGlendon for funding that wouldbe to the detriment of otherbilingual institutions such asLaurentian University and theUniversity of Ottawa, eventhough he believes in enhancing the bilingual character ofthis school.
Most of all, Alumnus Mr.,Gregory Sorbara looks backwith great fondness at his yearsin Glendon College. "I reallycherished the two years I spentat Glendo'"!," he recalls.

By Stefan LialeTo those who don't know Mr.
Sorbara by his name alone, itmay be that his position as theMinister of Colleaes and Universities is still synomymouswith the name of Bette Stephen:son who obtained notoriety lorher creation of the infamousBovey Commission.
Mr. Sorbara enrolled in Glendon in the year 1976 andcompleted a BA in CanadianStudies in 1978. In the 1960's,he attended St. Michael's College at the University of Toronto, but on resuming his education he chose Glendon. "Frankly, Glendon seemed the perfectplace for me to complete myundergraduate studies," Mr.Sorbara said. After the completion of his undergraduate workhere, he went on to obtain a lawdegree from Osgoode.
With the controversy surrounding the referendum issueof last week and what manypeople regarded as its attackon our College's bilingual character, Mr. Sorbara said hechose Glendon "because of itsbilingual character." The yearMr. Sorbara enrolled in thisCollege was the same year, henotes, that the Parti Quebecoiscame into power. With theadvent of the PQ in power, Mr.Sorbara recalls that Glendonites centered their discussionsaround the state of federalismin Canada. There was noanimosity between the anglophone and francophone communities on campus because ofthe separatism issue that enveloped Canada. On the contrary,Mr. Sorbara states, "It was agreat sense of community."
During his stay at GlendonCollege, Mr. Sorbara professeshe really didn't get involved inschool politics as much as hewould have liked. Much of thereason for that stems from thefact that Mr. Sorbara was amarried man with four children,and in addition to the academicworkload, political activism hadto be put on hold as a futureendeavor.

University Funding-
By Stefan Uale
"Regretably one of the areaswhere it is not politically disastrous to put the screws on is theeducation budget," saidGeoffrey Warnock, the ViceChancellor of Oxford Universitywho made the statement onCBC radio last month.
Although Mr. Warnock madethis statement in regards to thepredicament the British universities are finding themselves inunder the tight fisted monetary
policies of the Conservativegovernment of MargaretThatcher, it was no where moreprevalent than here in Ontariounder the previous governingConservative party of Ontario.
While at one time Ontariowas ranked number one infunding to its universities, theConservative party placed theburden of restraints consistentlyon the educational system ofthis province, until inevitablyOntario as of last year placedlast in funding to its universi-
ties. It is a fact of life thatcutting the education budgetdoes not facilitate dire politicalconsequences for the governing party that initiates suchmeasures, hence the past Conservative party managed to 'stay in power for some fortyyears. Besides how muchpower can a few thousandstudents wield when during atime of an election they arescattered throughout the prov- ,ince in various constituenciesto have their votes counted.
With the advent of the Liberalparty in power in Ontario,students once again heard thegroans of government over theneed to balance the budget andreduce this province's debt andfor that reason the universitiesdidn't hope for too much fromthe budget that was introducedon October 17 of this year.
On October 17 of this year,the Minister of Colleges andUniversities, Greg Sorbara (a1978 Glendon College grad)announced the creation of theUniversity Excellence Fundworth $50, million plus a 4%increase (the rate of inflation)in operating grants for 1986-87.This was a welcome surprise tostudents and faculty alike, whohad anticipated another year ofrestraints.
The $50 million will bebroken down in three areas fordistribution. Ten million dollarsof the fund will be directed inthe area for the hiring of newfaculty. According to theOntario Confederation of University Faculty Associations(OCUFA), Ontario has about a17-1 student to professor ratiowhile the United States is about15-1 and the U.K. is 12-1.
The Research Leadershipcomponent of the fund totalling$15 million will be spent onspecial research facilities andqualified technicians. Finally,
$25 million will be spent onLibrary Enhancement and Student Equipment.
Although this announcementwas welcome news, it was wayoverdue and not enough toreverse a decade of restraint.Last fall the federal government had increased transferpayments ear marked for secondary education in Ontario to7.6%. The provincial Conservatives took the monies andchanneled to them into othervarious areas other than theeducational system.
To stop such re-directing offederal transfer payments, thefederal government of BrianMulroney should considerrepealling the Established Programs Financing Agreement of1977. This agreement allowsprovincial governments to takefederal transfer payments earmarked for certain areas, whenpreviously they weren't, andplace them in other morepolitically favourable areas. ,
To federalists, this would betotally unacceptable (Le. federal dictatorship), but if it wouldstandardize the educational'system across Canada so thatall students are treated equally,that they all have the samequality of education, then, inthis area at least, wouldn't it bebetter to have education centralized (Le. nationalizedl?
Toronto Peace DemonstrationBy George Browne
The recent peace demonstration that took place on SaturdayOctober 26th, in Toronto, couldbe considered a qualifiedsuccess.
The march and demonstration,organized by the Toronto Disarmament Network, a coalition of81 metro area peace groups,was attended by 3,000 people,according to police estimates,with the organizers claiming10,000 in attendance. Eventhough the march was attentedby less then the organizers hadhoped (they were hoping for5,000), the event was wellcovered by the media, with allthe major television stationsand newspapers covering theevent. A Soviet television crewwas even in attendance.
Press officer Bob Penner wasvery conscious of the need formedia exposure and so willinglygave interviews to all mediaand seeked out all apparentmembets of the press (includingthis reporter). Penner, whosefather incidentally is a professorat Glendon, is considered to bethe closest thing to a leader theToronto Disarmament Networkhas.
One of the reasons given forthe lower than hoped for turnoutwas the lack of a definite issueto focus on. Compared tomarches a couple of years backwhen opposing cruise missletesting was the issue this yearsmarch theme of "Stop the ArmsRace, Feed the World" didn'tseem to have the urgency thatprevious years had. As onepart time worker in theT.D.N.put it. These things are a lot offun really, they're just like

conventions really," he went onto say "I think we pay moreattention to each other morethan the government pays tous."
Even though the march wassupported by a wide coalition ofgroups and individuals ragingfrom a tranworkers union localsporting LA Dodgers and BlueJays caps to the Young Communist League. Many universitieshad strong contingents especially from U of T and MacMasterwhile there seemed to be noconfingent presence from YorkUniversity. The seemingly loneGlendon student in attendance,Michel Llanos expressed frustration at "trying to get support at
Glendon" and ended saying heis interested in forming a peacegroup at Glendon. Anyoneinterested can contactMichel at 653-148b on theT.D.N. at 535-8005.
The march itself took placeon a beautiful day and coupledwith the numerous colourfulbanners and a friend!y crowdcombined to make the demonstration take on a carnival-likeatmosphere. Even the policeassigned to the march said that"they're (the peace marchers)always fairly good-natured andno problem really." The marchwas fairly well organized, butstill started 25 minutes' late.with the organizers even thinkingto ,have children and high

school peace groups in front forthe benefit of T.V. cameraswhile placing more controversialgroups such as the communistsand pro-Nicarauga groups further back, perhaps realizingmost journalists like to staynear the front to get betterphotos or just to beat the mob.The crowd in the demonstrationchanted as they marched andwere cheared on by motoristshonking thei~ horns in support(or perhaps just frustration atbeing stopped in traffic for upto 45 minutes on a Saturdayafternoon?) Most pedestrianswatched with amusement orjust indifference. The marchfinally ended in front of theLegislature with a performanceby a Toronto band,'the Cee-
Dees, and various speakers.
My overall impresion of thepeace demonstration was oneof concerned people giving avoice to their opinions organizedby an astute and clever leadership. Perhaps this is why thepresent peace movement seemsto be more effective than thelate Sixties movement.
The peace march itself seemedto contain the Anti-Nucleurmovement with the Anti-American movement tagging alongbehind. As one peace actvistput it, "If you're against Reagan,you're here."

So Where Are YouThis week, the Glendon College Students' Union (GCSm
Constitutional amendment referendum was defeated by a narrowmargin.
It is somewhat obvious by the results that Glendon studentswish to enforce bilingualism at this campus. For what purpose?
Student clubs and organizations are obliged to be bilingual, yetthese groups face little or no francophone involvement. To theseorganizations, bilingualism seems an empty gesture for lack offrancophone involvement. .The Glendon Debating Society continually budgets funds for theFrench National Debating Tournament, yet there are never anyfrancophone members. The society sponsored a secondaryschool bilingual tournament four years with only anglophonesorganizers. Why then force this society to be obliged to bebilingual if there are to be no francophone members.
Pro Tern has for many years sought French writers, but thefrancophones are always too busy to become involved. Why putall the pressure on five people to ensure French content in thenewspaper?
Why do only anglophones, with a few exceptions, run forelected positions? Why force the Directors to be bilingual whenthey rarely face situations requiring them to use their Frenchskills?
Why is there a Trait D'Union? The only purpose, thoughadmittedly not its' intention, this organization serves is toseparate the language groups in cultural activities. Why notinstead ask the GCSU Director of Cultural Affairs to schedulefrancophone events?
Then to add insult to injury, these groups face complaints froma small minority of the francophones students for not beingbilingual enough (read here not French enough). How are theyexpected to be with so little francophone involvement?
In my opinion, true bilingualism will exist at Glendon onlywhen the two language groups work together in all studentactivities. The only thing these whiners do is create a riftbetween the two groups. This is something no one wants to seehappen.
Unless francophones participate more actively in the studentactivities, 0400 French courses for GCSU executives or not,bilingualism at Glendon as it was intended will only exist as agoal and not as reality.

$eatureBy Susan fC·Dr 1-:,.'::'.
This week, I'll focus on aspecific country one with manyunique opportunities and nexttime some more specific study?travel programs.
After a recent visit to theCUTS (Canadian UniversityTravel Service), I found allkinds of new programs andtravel itineraries to let youknow about.
Jerusalem. Israel
If ever a city could be calledenigmatic, Jerusalem is upthere with the very best. It hasprobably the most chronicledhistory of any city in the world,being the central arena formany of the events taking placein the Bible, a corner stone ofJudaic and Christian faiths. Italso has religious significanceto Islam, as the place ofascension to heaven by theprophet of Allah, Muhammed.Therefore, it has also been acity of great turmoil, beinghome to three widely variantreligions, with each trying tosurvive in the desert surroundings, and trying to honour theirreligious committments.
To really understand Jerusalem's history (which is veryimportant to understanding thecontext of current nationalupheavals, not to mention mostof the great "sightseeing" stopson your visit), one would needto delve into many sources ofinformation. It might be best,as a visitor, to simply refer tosome compendiums currentlyon the market. One, Song ofSongs, by author Leon Urisw,reaches back into the ancienttimes of Jerusalem and retellsthe stories of the battles andtriumphs in modern, thoughhighly lyrical, language. To behonest though, a great sourceof explanation exists in theBible both Old and New Testaments.
The current Jerusalem though,is in itself, difficult to follow.
Obvious tensions between Arabsand Jews stem not entirelythrough religious disagreement,but are now also due to nationalrights. Israel as a state hasbeen the object of recent bitterwars, to establish who hasnational claim to the land.
The History OfJerusalem
Back in history, some timeafter the crucifixion of Christ, aresponse to his death unfolded- first, the growth of theChristiam belief in Jerusalemand secondly much propogandaagainst the Jews. rt,is forced agreat upheaval and went so faras the banning of Jews from thecity of Jerusalem in the year 70AD by the Romans. Succeedingreligions established themselvesand the Hews never again heldIsrael until 1948. It is at thistime, that the state of Israel wasdeclared in the hands of theJewish people, changing fromits' former position as Palestine,in Arab hands. Jerusalem wasnot part of this renewed nation
at its' conception due to thediplomatic efforts of the UN tointernationalize the city. Thenew city of Jerusalem was soonadded to Israel during the Warof Independence, in late 1948,and early 1949. It is not until1967, during the Six Day War,that Israeli troops capture therest of Jerusalem and make itall part of the nation of Israel.
Officially, a Jewish state now,though not diJ:,lomatically recognized by some· nations,Israel has had many conflictsboth with displaced Arabs whoclaim that Israel is their rightfulnation and among Israelisthemselves. The diversity ofpeople, regardless of religioncan be seen in this Quote fromSong of Songs, by Leon Uris:"There are 103 varieties ofJews from 103 separate lands.Jews from Morocco, and Yemenand Bukhara and India retainvestiges of their native dressand customs. Other Jewishsects, like the Hasidics livecloistered in self-imposed ghet-
tos resembling the pales ofRussia and Poland of twocenturies back. These mixedwith the monks and nuns ofArmenia, Greece, Russia, thefranciscans and Bedouins andArabs......; all living in one cityindicates the inevitably of conflict.
With this type of backdrop,obviously one can't expect tovisit Jerusalem for a couple ofdays and have total comprehension of the national situation.But, if you have an interest inthe inter-relations of varyingcultures, or in history or inreligious studies or in archeology; Jerusalem really is arewarding city, if approachedwith an open-mind and informedthoughts.
As for programs of travel,study and work available tostudents in Israel, a virtualplethora exists if you are willingto do some writing and someinvestigation.
Travel Tours
First, travel - on account ofcurrent Israel - PLO conflicts,many organized tour companiesare less enthused about offeringgroup travel programs to Israelas a whole, although at Christmastime, there is always a "pilgramage" tour offered to Bethlehemand Jerusalem. One youthtravel company, Sundowner's,offers a very extensive 15 dayIsrael tour which also jumpsinto Egypt. Departures areyear round, and prices rangefrom $605 -$1500 (US) depending on inclusions. Thetravel representative for thistour cxompany is Goway Travel,here in Toronto, at 53 YongeStreet, M5E 1J3 (863-0799).However, many adventure travelbusinesses feature more extensive, less holiday inclinedprograms.
Overland, a four companyrepresented by CUTS, theCanadian student travel agency,
offers a tour of Israel which isQuite extensive. For specifics,contact CUTS at 44 St. George
.St, Toronto, M5S 2E4. The costis $470 (US) for the landportion only which isn't bad, butstill not inexpensive. It is,however, an informed, safe,detailed program which coversaspects an independent travellermight not have thought of. (Theabove listed figures for toursmay well be out-dated, tu aQuick call to most travel agentswill secure up-to-date dAt::til.. \
Travel is expensive so let'slook at work programs. Sincethe excitement of travel is theexploration of another culture,these programs are terrificways of becoming really involvedwith another nation. Theadvantages are the intimacywith which you can get to knowthe people and their lifestyleswhile achieving an education ofexperience for yourself.
Work Protlrams
If you are unskilled but willingto work hard physically, aKibbutz experience would be areal hands-on opportunity tounderstand how Israel hasbecome the fertil, rich land it is.A Kibbutz is a communalworking/living area usuallyinvolved in some kind ofagricultural effort such as citruscrops, flower cultivation, etc..Check the local library forinformation on this unique lifestyle; and if you are interestedin participating or wish moreinfo, write to the
Kibbutz Aliya Desk114 Fifth Ave. (8th fl)NY,NY10011
Archeolotlical Ditls
Many archeological digs arecarried out in Israel as well ifyou don't mind more primitiveliving conditions. This could bea fascinating choice. Writing tothis address will solicit more
info.

Studies
As for study, many programsare run through the Israeliuniversities, especially in Jerusalem, but also Haifa, T~ Avi\l(port cities) and the Negev (acentral desert region). You canlook up the addresses of theseuniversities and other extremelywell-aQuipped, advanced research facilities in a referencevolume called The World OfLearning which is available inthe Frost Library and the ScottLibrary on the main campus.(Addresses and specifics onuniversities and other researchinstitutes around the world canbe found in this volume.) If youwish to inquire about Israelischool programs in more generality, an office representingIsrael is located in New York atthis address:

The archaic beauty of Jerusalem against a backdrop ofrapid technological advancementand massive military effortscreates a city (and a country asa whole) full of contradictionsand excitement just waiting foryou.

Is It Safe To Dan.~?e Again
..
By Eliz abeth McCallister'Last Friday, the GCSU spon
sored EarthQuake II - theDance. It was their mostsuccessful event to date.
Word of mouth provided much.. of the advertising. Studentsreminisced about last April'sEarthQuake Dance.
While things started slowly,by 11 :00 p.m., the ODH wasfilled with one estimate of 200people. Glendonites had beenpaying their $4 admission whenthe doors opened, but as hasbecome tradition, they wentelsewhere until later in theevening.
EarthQuake II was a completesuccess. The dance floor wascrowded all night as a constantstream of old and new hitsblared from the speakers. Asthe larger than usual dancefloor became more crowded,students began dancing on topof the tables.
While the dance floor waspacked, some students wouldhave like more Top 40 Hits. AsMargaret Szcts put it, "Some ofthe music later on wasn't toogood." Another student commented, "I didn't like the music."
He would have preferred morehits. Yet, he adds, "My friendsand I had fun."
Director of Cultural AffairsStan Gorecki was pleased withthe turnout. The dance was asellout with many people waitingfor admission later in the evening.
This dance featured colouredlights and a "mirrored ball" upabove casting its' shimmeringreflections up above. Thisevent also includes high-powered, high volume music. TheOJ's were Hugh Mansfield andRon Hitti. Mansfield considersthe event a "smashing success."
The music continued untilpast 1:30 a.m. and still peopledid not want to leave. The ODHdid not truly begin to emptyuntil 2:00 a.m. while others whowere in attendance talked inthe hall outside. GCSU Councillors gave away "Don't Drinkand Drive" buttons away as thepeople were filing out.
The GCSU made a goodprofit on this dance whichbodes well for their budgetaryfundraising efforts.
In short, a good time was hadby all,

N.B. The division of Morningand Night People is not theonly way to divide humanity. Afar more esthetic separationIies between those who say"relevant" and "revelant" andthose who confuse "relevation"and "revelation." But this hasbeen the study of sociologistsand linguists for generationsand may one day be thecornerstone to understandingSteinein's theory of Revalivity(a lesser known Theorum).
"Ugh" which, co-incidentally,has the same amount of syllablesas "Where's the coffee?" To aNight Person, "morning" isusually spelt with a "u."
A Night Person can takerevenge and make a MorningPerson hang his head in shameby saying in a raise voice,"What? Goodnight? You're not
" going to bed already?" To saveface, the Morning Person willendure another hour of consciousness. The Morning Personof course gets even by wakingup the Night Person with achipper "Good Morning" (Oooh,life is a vicious circle). Say"Night" to a Morning Personand they respond with a yawning"G'Night" and fall asleep.
As for my Loved One and I,we're both trying to adapt.Sometimes she can stretch itout until 11 :00, but LloydRobertson is too much for her.I, for my part, E ,ecure in theknowledge that I should begetting some sleep right nowbecause up here, at her cottage,her family will, with pleasure,awaken me at 8:00 by the lureof bacon, cold water in my faceor by crashing symbols in myears. But I, the Insomniac, amtoo excited over this newrevelation.
For the record, this revelationcame to me as 1 lay awakewondering what kind of people "give alarm clocks as presents.Now I know - dementedMorning People. I may nowsaunter off to sleep. GoodNight, Night People.
The Insomniac
By Kevin McGranI, the Insomniac, have had a
Revelation - a knee-slapping,lord-praising religious experience. I have found one of thesecrets of humanity. It is asecret so subtly obvious thatmany people in this epoch havelet it pass unnoticed and havespent lifetimes disregarding it.(Others of course have alwaysknown it and didn't tell anybodybecause they thought everybodyknew it.)
The revelation is as follows:there are two types of people inthis large rotating sphericalclump of mass we like to callhome -'Night Persons andMorning Persons. (Okay, so it'snot as big as I made it out to be,but there's a thesis in itsomewhere). Also, the twotypes traditionally do not getalong well. My Loved One and Idefy tradition.
I am a Night Person. I like togo to the late movie. I likebaSeball to go into extra innings.I watch David Letterman. And I,remember Chuck the Security'Guard. I also like to spend myevenings with my Loved One.My Loved One likes to peeteroff to Never-Never Land by9:30.
My Loved One is a MorningPerson. At her cottage she isup at the break of day (I thinkshe likes to roll around in dewor something) and chats with.her father (another one of:them). They chatter in a dull,bordering on loud monotonicvoice (you know the kind) andannoy (purposefully and withmalice of forethought) those ofUS" (me) who enjoy to spenddawn slumbering.
At night when I want to goout, she falls asleep on me. Inthe morning when she wants togo out, I can't wake up for her.Ours is a 50/50 relationship.
As point of fact, the two sidesusually hate each other. AMorning Person's chipper "GoodMorning" usually extracts, atgreat physical pain, from theNight Person a prolongued

~nttttainmtntGlendon Theatre Review
By M.J. NesbittTheatre Glendon's most
recent production, NormaHarr's Essential Conflict, wasan unusual one for T.G., in acouple of respects. Firstly, thissort of light comedy hasn'toften been attempted by ourtheatre students, who havetraditionally shown a preference for contemporary drama.Furthermore, the cast was, witha couple of exceptions, new tothe Glendon stage. The turnover at T.G. bodes well for itsfuture, especially in view of thesolid effort which went intotheir latesteffort.
A creditable oroduction allaround, Essential Conflict fea-turecfaparticularly fine performance by Maissa Bessada, whoalso, distinguished herself inlast year's The Trial of JeanBaptiste M. In the role ofMelanie, she was brash, unflaggingly entertaining and pacedherself extremely well. Whilenot all the performances wereup to her standard, JimFitzpatrick, who portrayedRichard, showed considerablepromise. Ian Spieran, however,was at a disadvantage in therole of a frustrated writer andhouse-husband (whose frustra-
tions can largely be attributedto the fact that his name isHub). Though a competentperformer, Mr. Spieran is stilltoo young to do an effectiveWard Clever imitation.
This largely untried cast is tobe congratulated for grapplinglso successfully with the rigours;of comic acting. Special!congratulations, however, go todirector Anastasia Kaunda, whc)was richly rewarded for her pre·'production jitters. She did anadmirable job with difficultmaterial and a tight schedule.

First, there was Brooke theModel. And this was good. Thecamera knew no bad angle- inwhich to capture her. Thenthere was Brooke the Actress.And this was not as good. Forshe looked great on camera,but from the mouth of thisenchantress came falsehoods.Now, 10 and behold, we haveBrooke the Writer. And thisbrought her to Toronto topromote her first attempt in theliterary world, a book filled withtips and tales entitled On YourOwn.
First of all, I have bad newsfor all us young women. Youknow how every time we see amagazine cover of Miss Shields,we silently try to calm ourselves that her flawless ivoryskin is merely the illusion ofmakeup? And that her torrentof chesnut hair is only atemporary creation of a hairwizard's magic fingers? Well,it's time to face the reality, andhere it is.. In person, she lookseven better. And that's not all.She's nice too. And smart.
Clad in Levis (where's theCalvins?), a sweatshirt, and abaseball cap, she looks asgorgeous even without asmidgen of makeup. She chatsabout her book, and the life of aco-ed.
"It's a book I wish I had readwhen I was in my early teens,"says Brooke, "It would havebeen a help to me during thatawkward age." Brooke flicks alock of her long mane over hershoulder and one doubts bylooking at her that she ever,EVER, went through an awkward stage. We'll have to takeher word for if.
Now in her third year atPrinceton, Brooke's main priority is her schoolwork. Herlast film, Sahara, was filmed in1983, and since then she fits inphoto sessions and any otherwork of the same on weekendsand holidays. "School is important to me. I want a goodeducation, and I don't want tomiss out on anything Universityhas to offer. That's why for thefirst year I lived in a dorm. Itwas crazy, but fun!" Brookemaintains a A- average, hermajors being French and English Literature. "It's terrificbeing here in Toronto, BecauseI can practice my French." Sheseizes a roll of butter rumLifesavers left on a nearbytable and reads the french side,"Rhum Beurre."

But do all her studying andmodeling leave time for aromance? The world wants toknow what their most eligiblefemale is up to. "I have twomain crushes at the moment.one is a boy at school, the otheris a horse trainer where I do myriding. They are really cuuuute!But I mainly go out on groupdates with a bunch of friends out for pizza or something."Does she herself indulge? (Imean in pizza, of course). "Idon't totally deny myself as arule, but 1 never go overboardeither." Of course not, herbody is her commodity.
Later in the day, she givesfans The Brooke Look, as sheholds an autographing sessionat a downtown bookstore. Shearrives looking like a Voguecover and wearing a floraljumpsuit which is part of asoon-to-be released fashionline that she helped design.Encircling her is an entouragethat includes her mother, aunt,cousin, and four round-the-
clock security guards.Brooke cheerfully signs auto
graph after autograph, andgracefully accepts complimentafter compliment. - Everybodyhas a question for her."Brooke," says one enthusiastic young man, "which do youlike better, the old coke or thenew coke?" Brooke giggles insurprise - it's a question she'snever been asked before. Sheponders for a moment."Uhmmm...the old one I guess.""Me too!" he beams. Brookebeams back, and he is in bliss. l
After the autographing session, she takes a walk aroundthe Harbourfront after changing back to her low profilejeans-and-baseball cap ensemble. "It's the hair that usuallygives me away," she confides,"so I stuff it all in this hat andpeople don't notice me asmuch." Alas, if only we all hadproblems like Bmoke. But onlyshe has The Look, and in theeighties, that look is reallycooking.

are; a Guiness world breakingrecord of some sort, snowshoebaseball, a parade in costume(disguise. perhaps?), an outsidebarbeque, family feud betweenresidence houses and Carnivalteams, sleigh rides, ice sculpture,frisbee golf, and a scavengerhunt.
Nothing has been scheduledfor the tentative second weekof the Carnival. The committeehas decided that any event forwhich there are no volunteersto help organized will beimmediately dropped. TheDirector of Cultural Affairs StanGorecki has issued a requestthat any students who dobecome involved will honourtheir committments.
The Twentieth Anniversarywill have a variety of events.There will be a conference onthe weekend of May 24th. Inthe fall of 1986, there will be aformal dinner commemoratingthe anniversary of York University.
ff we want to have a goodWinter Carnival, we must participate in the events and theorganization of the events. Ifenough people get involved, itwill not be a strain on the fewwho usually do. This year'sWinter Carnival can be likenedto a snowball; once it gets:,olling, it gathers momentumand size, while if it just sitsthere, it will go nowhere.
