Poor Napier. Even in death he gets no respect His bones were dug up for the second time on Monday, Oct 24.

Arthur Smith, technology division teacher, led the party that exhumed the bones.

John Napier invented tK forerunner to the slide rule in the 17th century. When the calculator was introduced to the math worid, the slide, rule became obsolete.

In commemoration of this, a six foot slide rule (alias Napier’s bones) was buried just east of the technology wmg of Durham College. The slide rule had been used by teachers in the technology division to in- struct students in its use. . ,

InNovemberofl976, Durham College played a basketball game against Mohawk College, with Mohawk coming out of the game as victor. As their trophy for winning the game, they claimed the slide rule, taking it with them. to Hamilton, where they buried it � \ ’

.

A raiding party from Durham went to the Mohawk campus while the studentslw were at a pub, dug up the bones, and deftly made their get-away down the ’401 back to Durham College.

. Upon their arrival back at the college, the raiding party hid the bones in a drafting room until a headstone could be made to properly lay the bones to rest

The funeral procession was led by teaching master Rod Lee, who acted as priest for the service. Students wearing white lab coats and paper bags over their heads acted as pallbearers, carrying the rule through the lounge and .cafeteria before laying it to rest in the front lawn of the college. ,

The bones had to be moved in order to make room for the new Skilled Trades and Technology building, said Arthur Smith. Smith also added that a new tombstone will be made up for th6 next burial

Cureatz jokingly said, "It was a lot of hard work twisting her arm to get money for the college." He said he was "pleased to see this capital expansion at the college."

Board of Governors chairman Ruth Milne said that Durham is "one of the fastest growing colleges in Ontario" Milne also announced that Cooper Construction of Etobicoke was the successful bidder for construction of the building with a bid of $1,964.970.

Another $1.6 million has been set to cover engineering fees and equipment for the new building. Completion date for the project is the fall of 1984. Bette Stephenson and Frank Miller will be present to open the new building.

Other notables in attendances at the ceremony were Gary Herrema, regional chairman, Alan Pilkey, mayor of Oshawa, Bill Mdean, mayor of Ajax, Garnet Rickard, mayor of’Newcastle, and William Ballinger, mayor of Uxbridge.

The purchase of a $417,000 computer has oeen announced by applied arts director Woody Manery.

"Durham College now has one of the most sophisticated teaching graphics labs in the worid," said Maneiy in a recent interview.

The new computer package consists of one imaginator, three D-38’s and six IBM PC’s (personal computers). One D-38 arrived last week and will be in room C210, he said. The rest of the package would arrive by mid- December.

"We bought this system because it ties in with our existing system and those systems outside the college which are hooked into the same network," he said.

Maneiy said that instructors Hugh Charlebois and John Freeman had invested their whole summer in order to learn the new system, through courses given at Sheridan College.

The D-38 is a modified PDP-11 (a standard computer in operation at the college for over 10 years) and is "the work

horse of the industry." Images are obtained by keyboard command. It can draw effec- tively, recreate logos, and add graphics to charts and graphs.

The imaginator is a recent innovation which "represents state-of-the-art computer graphics capability," Manery said. He showed a film and slides which demonstrated that the imaginator1 s talents were much more refined than those of the D-38.

The imaginator is capable of producing 16.7 million shades of color and can produce 124 shadings in a single image. Images can

be produced which look like watercolor paintings.

Maneiy said the new acquisition would meet the college’s needs in the areas of teaching aids, business or graphics and design. It was purchased from Dicomed Corporation in the United States and would be processed through the company’s Canadian distributor, Ariel of Canada.

by GabrieUa Braccia Chronicle �taff Field placement has started early for

some of the Durham College students this year.

A total of 33 sports administration students will be working and experiencing as professionals in the real world as of October 26 until the end of April

Don Fraser, coordinator of job placement, said, "Field placement is an opportunity for the students to achieve at a professional level’*

There are 60 different organizations available for the students to choose from.

Each student is required to be interviewed by a minimum of four different organizations. Some of the students were interviewed by seven or eight organizations.

After each interview, the students rank the company, and the compan^ranks the student Then the students ar^^given the opportunity to pick their first choice of where they want to work.

Placement is a good opportunity for the companies also because it gives them a chance to rate the students for possible future employment

The students must approach the organizations on their own. Fraser said, "I spent "seven weeks preparing the students for field work. They were taught how to write resumes, how to conduct an interview, and many other skills needed for student success."

Don Fraser has been involved in co- ordinating field placement for nine years. He said, "Part of working as an administrator means that things will go wrong. The students must solve a lot of problems they have never been faced with before. They will be getting to know the problems of an organization and how to deal with them."

There are six different areas of organizations interested in participating in placement These are community recreation, Ontario government, sports facilities, sports associations, team management and sporting goods.

Placement is oh a contract system. The students are required to work Wednesdays and Thursdays for a total of 16 hours a week with no pay, and attend school for the remainder, of the week. ,

by GabrieUa Breccia Chronicle staff The Durham College library has been

given a new computer for a five month period, as part of a tele-communication experiment

This program started Sept 1, and it involves 14 other community colleges outside of the Toronto area.

Community college libraries order all books through a central processing unit, called a bibliocenter. This bibliocenter generated a data base which contains the books and audio visual softwear holdings of all the community colleges, plus one million additional records.

The hew terminal is for the librarians only. It is not accessible to the students.

New books can be ordered (directly through the terminal within minutes. The terminal will check whether the library already has the book, which community colleges have the book, the price, and any other information needed to purchase it

Sue Barclay, college librarian, said, "If the line charges prove to be inexpensive, we can get a couple terminals for student use also."

The librarians must keep detailed statistics on the terminal as part of the experiment They mus^record how much time is spent on the terminals, what it is used for and whether ftr not the librarians find what they are lo<Ndng for. /

The ulfimate aim of this experiment is to see whether or not having the terminal permanently would enhance the library ser- vices.

Barclay said, "At the end of the five month period, we review the statistics, eval- uate them, and make recommendations for ’implementation."

The terminal is haying a few technical difficulties that have to be ironed out, but

"Electronic tech nician’s jobs are bot- tomed out There just aren’t any around," says Jamie Bignell a graduate from Durham College’s electronic techniques course.

Bignell is looking, for a job servicing time in class and so much time in the walk small office equipment like word procesors, force." photo copiers, and electric typewriters.

�Tve applied to places like ABS Industries, Jenkins Office Supplies, Kellogg-Salada, Waterloo University, and WANG, just to name a few," he said.

"Fve gone through the Durham place* ment office and OCAP. but the companies just don’t have any room for new employees," he said.

OCAP (Ontario College Assistance Program) is a government sponsored program which helps students to find a company that will train you for 12 weeks...

"After the 12 weeks, you wfll probably be let go," Bignell said, "but at least it gives you some experience."

"I have sent out about 100 letters and received maybe 25 replies. Out of all the letters and applications, I have had only two interviews," he said.

"The Durham College electronic techniques course should spend less time in math and English, and focus more on electronics," Bignell said. "They should have a co-op program where you spend so much

Jon Vandepol, head of the electronic technology division, said a co-op program would be great* but is not feasible at this time. "Jobs are scarce," he said. "There is no placement for the students."

"m order to make it meaningful, it has to be done right You want to place the students in an atmosphere similar to what they are learning and you have to maintain good relations with industry," Vandepol said.

’Hie basic problem with a co-op program right now is the unavailability of. jobs.

Bignell is afraid that if jobs do become available with the rise of the economy, they will go to the students graduating from the electronic techniques program next spring.

"The longer Fin away from the electronic techniques program, the harder it will become for me to find a job," he said.

by Julie Cashin Chronicle staff Durham College is growing to meet the

demands of increased enrollment On Oct28 a sod turning ceremony took place for a -new skilled trades and technology building, estimated at $3.6 million, expected to be operating by the fall of 1984.

In October,’ construction to expand library, cafeteria and student lounge facilities began. Additions to these over- crowded areas are to cask approximately $1.1 million.

Before 1966 the residents of Durham Region did not have the opportunity to attend a postr secondary institution in their area. Individuals wishing to further their education had two choices; either com- muting or boarding away from home.

Community Colleges were established to stress practical experience, rather than theory in educating its students. In October 1966, the introductional meeting of the Board of Governors took place to discuss the possibility of building a community college in the Durham Region.

"Dr. Gordon E. Willey. the first president of Durham College, was appointed in January, 1967. In March, 1967, temporary administration offices opened in an old house on the Oshawa General Hospital grounds^" said Jim Kirkconnell, community service oo-ordinator.

In June, 1967,187 acres were purchased as the chosen site for Durham College, on Simcoe Street North, "m September, 1967, the first classes commenced in portable classrooms with 200 students and 14 teachers in the business and technology division," said KirkconnelL

In the spring of 1968 construction of a pro-engineered building began and was occupied in July. In September, 1968, an Applied Arts divsion was added, he said.

"In January, 1969, Durham assumed responsibility for TTw Ontario Manpower Training Program, in other words Adult training." With the increase in the number of students the Simcoe Building was expanded in March, 1969, he said.

"In the summer of 1969 plans for the permanent building were approved. In the fall of 1969 enrollment increased to 600 students and a faculty of 60," he said.

"September, 1971 was the official opening of the new main building.’"Hie business, technology and applied arto division were relocated, while the adult retraining prog-

ram remained in the Simcoe Building, he said.

"In the fall of 1972 Durham College Conference Centre began operation under the direction of the business division," he

said. In January, 1973, the Nurses’ Training

Program and administration were relocated from the Oshawa General Hospital to the Simcoe Building and in 1976 enrollment’ surpassed 1,000 full-time students.

r

. In thespring of 1976 approval for a new Sports and Cultural facilities building was received, costing $3.5 million. This was followed by the completion of the new ,

applied arts division, *D* wing, in 1976, he said.

The Athletic and Activities building was officially opened by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities on Nbv.13,1977. This date also marked the college’s tenth aniversity.

In 1978 enrollment was 1,407 full-time students and in the fall off 1978 enrollment- was up to 1,614 full-time students, 8,000 registered in extention courses and 400 adult training students, m 1979 the skilled trade building became operational

On Oct 16, 1980 a sod turning ceremony took place for a new skilled trades building. It opened in the fall of 1981.

Durham College continued to grow and develop. In 1981 full-time enrollment was up to 1,921 students, more than 9,000 night-school students and had a faculty of 200.

Durham College also has had many recent technology developments. In 1982 an $800.000 GAD�CAM (computer-aided design�aided manufacturing) training course began. Tliese courses can be used for various training and development purposes by technology students and in the training of personnel from local industries who are acquiring this new technological skill, he said.

"Durham College has been involved in computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing during 1982-1983. The course emphasis has been aimed at industry and the application of a GAD�CAM system as an engineering tool," he said.

In 1982 post secondary enrollment was up to2.271. In the fall of 1983 full-time post secondary enrollment was 2,326 students and an estimated 10,000 students enrolled in extension courses, he said.

N uclear bomb prom ise now a rea l th reat

"Survivors of a nuclear war would find themselves starving on a cold, dark planet..’The extinction of the human species would be a real possibility/ Cari Sagan of Cornel! University warned." (Tlie Globe and Mail, Nov. 1, page one)

Nuclear warfare and total annihilation are veiy real threats faced by every man, woman and child on the face of the earth. The apathy with which the issue is usually met is disgusting; how have we let our leaders bring us to this point?

The Canadian film "If You Love This Planet**, banned in the United States as propaganda, paints a frightening and vivid picture of the worid after a nuclear war. It shows footage of nuclear arms testing in the U.S. wherein entire buildings are vaporized; bombs of this nature do not "blow up" things, but rather obliterate them from sight

Those who Survive a nuclear war, the film goes on to explain, will come to "envy the dead", ff’onfy half of the nuclear war-

heads currently in existence are detonated, an estimated 70 per cent of the ozone layer in the northern hemisphere would be destroyed; in the southern hemisphere, 30 per cent This would allow the sun’s ultraviolet rays to reach the surface of the earth, blinding every sighted being who looked at the sun. The net result would be a total breakdown of the planefs ecosystem, combined with rampant disease epidemics due to the depletion of white blood cells in human beings: The list of effects goes on; nuclear fallout; raging firestorms; a new ice age�all are consequences of nuclear war. Chances are great that in the end, none would survive.

We, the citizens of the worid, should not have allowed this to happen. The fact remains that nuclear arms do exists and that is a situation we must all deal with. Look to your conscience; if you find there the indif-

� ference to allow our worid to be destroyed, then so be it But if you love this planet, .strive to save it Tomorrow could be too late.

Hal loween mood has cha nged

In Canada, about 50,000 anti-nuclear protestors in 40 cities converged to protest the distribution of cruise and Pershing-2 missiles in Europe. La England, 250,000 people gathered in Central London to protest against the deployment of 106 missiles in England, out of 572 missiles destined for Western Europe. The weekend of (Jet 22- 23 was a busy one.

In Stuttgart, West Germany, a 100- kilometer human chain stretched from Stuttgart to the U.S. military base at Neu Ulm, which will likely be a site for the Pershing-2’s in West Germany. In Berlin Hamburg, Bonn, and West Berlin, a combined total of 1,650,000 demonstrators made their presence felt Other demonstration sites were Rome, Brussels and Madrid

The first batch of cruise missiles is suspected to be in Britain by Nov. 1, which is several weeks earlier than was first antici- pated.

In his open letter on cruise missile testing and disarmament. Prime Minister Trudeau offered a strategy of suffication at the first United Nations session on disarmament This meant the development of new nuclear weapons systems would be squashed in the laboratory and elsewhere.

Remembrance Day is labelled that for a specific reason. That is to remember those Canadians who contributed in the various ware to gain the freedom which we now enjoy.

It is for this reason that Remembrance Day will not be a holiday for elementary and secondary schools this year. "Hie Ministry of Education has decided to keep the students in classes that day to teach them what they do not know about Nov. 11. There will be assemblies held in memory of our Canadian soldiers, lessons taught on the relationship between the poppy and Nov. 11, Canada’s contributions in the wars, and why, when,

Trudeau feels the U.S. should continue negotiations in taking away the SS-20 missiles in exchange for the non-deployment of the cruise and Pershing-2’s In Europe or to negotiate a smaller number of missiles on both sides.

U.S. President Ronald Reagan had recently proposed to cut American and Soviet nuclear weapons, but the Communist Newspaper Pravda says the idea js fraudu- lent because the cut would allow the Soviet’s long-range missiles to be weakened and allow the U.S. to deploy new air and sea- based missiles.

With all of these facts jn-mind, the convergence of humanity which took place on Oct 22-23, in the form of anti-nuclear marches, is one loud ay of protest through peaceful means.

�

Granted the, marchers may not be able to Stop the deployment of the misssiles outright But they have made the world leaders aware of their anguish and frustration by sheer numbers. Achieving worid peace by an arms race is ludicrous and the means do not justify the ends. The anti-nuclear protests of Oct 22-23 have said this loud and dear.

and where the Canadians fought Students are also given opportunities to write poems and essays to be entered in competitions.

It is not the point of whether the students get the day off or not, it is what they know about Remembrance Day and how they participate.

Nov. 11 is probably to a lot of people a great day to start Christmas shopping and not even wonder why there is a minute’s silence at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11. Yet, whatever else there is to do that day can surety wait Remembrance Day comes only once a year.’

Staff welcomes letter

by Jim Shrigley Chronicle staff Women now face an optimis-

tic future with unprecedented opportunities if they know what they want and apply themselves, according to Karen Fraser.

Fraser was a guest speaker in the lecture theatre at i the college on* Monday, Oct. 24.

The topic of Fraser^sspeech was "Opportunities in the 80s: Choice or Chance" and she was sponsored by the Affirmative Action Committee at Durham College, i �

Fraser, from Toronto, is the owner and publisher of a book titled "Women Like Me", wmch is an annual publication in its fourth year. The book’s subtitle, "The Women’s Business and Networking Directory", explains its function. A corresponding pamphlet is also published every two months.

Articulate and informal ��

-.

Fraser started out by mentioning the three big changes in’ the history of mankind. ’Hie first was the transition from the caveman era to farming. The next change was from agriculture to the Industrial Revolution. The last bigchange was the present one which can best be described as a technology revolution.

This last change forces people and companies to adapt at an accelerated pace unparal- leled iri the past, noted Fraser.^ She described the reaction of people to change as fear initially, then anger, followed by blame, and finally a reverting or "going back" to their former position.

Fraser stressed that attitudes regarding work and human values have also changed over the last 60 years.

Previously, work was considered the most important thing in a person’s life. 61 the 1950s, people worked "to make money to spend it on the right things to show your success," stated Fraser.

During the 1960s, people became individuals and changed their attitude about work�it just provided money to afford a life- style.

The 1970s saw values separate from the economy, and politics and personal happiness and satisfaction became more important than corporate profit and success.

- "People realized relationships are important and developed good values in the 70’s," asserted Eraser, " but will these values hold in the 80*8 if the economy doesn’t improve? You must know what your values are and know what you want"

Fraser has been giving seminars on financial planning for women for over 12 years and also teaches women across the country about the future, business image, management and supervisory skills, and starting your own business. She says the subjects reflect "whafs going on in the worid, the economic situation."

yVomen, who now represent 52% of the population, will need a variety of skills and advantages in the future, says Fraser. They must be flexible and wen- informed. They will need a good

Included in the list is the ability to get along with co-workers and a good vocabulary. Most important for the 80s an^90s is the need for good communication skills, emphasized Fraser.

"hi a shifting economy you will be either in or out Things will be what you make them," concluded Eraser to the pre- dominately female audience of about 110.

Karen Fraser illustrates a point about the fixture of women to an attentive audience in the lecture theatre.

Affi rmat ive Actio n n eeds n ew i m age by Dawn L. Adams Chronicle staff

"Affirmative action has an image problem," said Bev Turner, affirmative action co-ordinator for Durham College, in a recent interview; "It seems to be (wrongly) asso-. ciated with radical women’s lib," she said.

Affirmative action is a program which ensures equality of opportunity in the labor market for under-represented groups, including women, natives and the disabled. A task force report indicates that this group will account for 70% of workers entering the labor force in the next decade. Affirmative action has benefits for employers, minorities and all of us.

In 1979, 53% of the labor force was women, A 1975 mandate by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities identified women as their most appropriate target group. Turner became co-ordinator here at the college in NoMmtOer 1981. .., s

Affirmative action does not mean reverse discrimination, arbitrary quota systems or the promotion of unqualified women. A series of specified goals and objectives (see box) are designed to: � broaden career options for women � compensate for past discrimination � ensure that women are given opportnities

to be promoted according to their abilitiesL, �facilitate the entry of women into non- traditional occupations

Despite legislation, many existing personnel systems and practices can screen out valuable women as job candidates. "Resis- tance comes from management and from women themselves,’* said Turner. "Maybe I’m naive but the hardest thing to combat is traditional attitudes.** ��Many people still find it hard~to~EaKe" women in the work force seriously. Accord- ing to a Harvard Business Review study, women are expected to have a job (not a

career) "until"�they get married or preg- nant It is believed they will sacrifice careers to family responsibilities despite present economics, life situations and an average of 25 to 40 years of full time work.

Present biases perpetuate traditional job "clustering" and "dead-ending" in low paying jobs, but attitudes are changing. Responsible women and employers point

out that initiative is needed. As the job "market gets tighter and more competitive only the very best will survive.

Durham College’s affirmative action committee consists of seven staff members, one student representative (Kathy Booth, third year business), one community representative (Betty Schaefer of the Board of Governors) and two ex-officios (Turner as co-ordinator and Gord McTavish as personnel director).

Objectives Durham College has established affirmative action objectives: � to raise and diversify the occupa- tional distribution of female employees in the college by

a) maintaining an affirmative action awareness program

b) increasing the number of female faculty members in the technology and applied arts divisions and the number of women in admin- istrative positions within the college

c) increasing the number of female participants in professional development � to diversify female enrollment by

a) increasing awareness of non-traditional courses of study for women �, ’. ..

b) increasing community out- reach programs � ensure that the curriculum is free of stereotyping and sex bias and that programs reflect the contem- porary roles of men and women by

a) ensuring that the curriculum

Turner and the committee work closely with the administration, particularly the personnel department, placement office and student affairs office. Each division also submits its own strategies for affirmative action and is accountable for working to- wards certain criteria. A woman is now included in all team job interviews. Presently, all division heads are male and all department heads outside the health sciences (all women) are also men.

The college is also developing a human rights policy, including sexual harassment language.

Turner is responsible for co-ordinating and initiating special projects including spe- akers dealing with women’s issues, professional development workshops and present- ations to high schools and public schools on women in skilled trades and technology. She is helping to develop a support group for women in non-traditional training along with the availability of assertiveness training.

Turner feels that it is important to promote "jobs for people. It works both ways. We should encourage men and women to examine non-traditional roles so that they have options other than the traditional," she said.

«,

The college’s professional development council is in the process of establishing a management development program which will help identify qualified people (men and women) for promotion, lateral moves and added responsiblity. This is particularly important now when the Ontario government estimates that 90% of recruitment and selection will be’internal due to restraints.

The present affirmative action goal is to have 30% women in all job categories. Durham College has its first woman shipper- receiver and has hired a female accounting teacher. ’Tm a little discouraged with the catch-up," said Turner, "but I have to be realistic. There’s not a lot of turnover."

"Santa Claus" and "Mr. T" rocked the Jube at Durham’s annual. Halloween pub on October 28.

An air of frivolity prevailed as a packed house of costumed students vented their exuberance on the dance floor. Richard Gauder, SAC’S internal affairs vice- president, was impressed with the assemb- lage. "Everybody is up dancing. The band is great, the atmosphere is super and everyone is having a goodnSmerWhatmor&caBrwerask for?"

The premier event, sponsored by the mechanical club, was the "boat racing con- test" Second year sports administration students, "Otis and the Knights," chugged their way to victory in 41 seconds, handily defeating the "B3A Alcoholics," third year business administration students, by 12 seconds.

Adrianne Tellier, a member of the winning team, said, "It was all really a team effort We pulled for each other. Fd call it synchronized drinking."

Brown said he had hoped to hold the Party Nites alternately with the SAC pubs, but the college never informed him of their pub dates.

Dan Wilmott from CKAR radio was hired for the Party Nites to do contests and announcements. Zolly’s has held three Party Nites on alternating Thursdays so far, but has a problem letting students know what they are planning. "

Nellie McClung, a turn of the century suffragette, foughtfortherightforwomento vote in political elections. She was a strong headed, rebellious determined woman as Jan Tanton portrayed her in her exuberant performance in ’What Glorious Times They Had:’Nellie McClung’.

McClung travelled all over Manitoba expressing her views on women in politics and constantly fighting with male chauvinist political delegates. Tanton suited the part perfectly with her strong characterization and a singing voice that rang out above the audience, i

’ Few props were used, but one amusing prop was the use of pink balloons representing female suffragettes and blue balloons representing male delegates. It was an interesting comical touch.

The play consisted of 27 scenes an<pl even though it was a lengthy performance there was never a moment wasted.

Zolly’s have an advance ticket outlet for major concerts at the college,/which would be run by second year advertising students.

Yesterday Zolys flyers were put on the windshields of cars. Second year advertising student Terri Mercer, who handles the Zolly’s account said,"Because of the restric- tions put down by the administration, Zolly’s has decided to try every way possible to advertise because they want the college crowd."

Fletcher said it was an administration decision that there are no outside organizations advertising within the school They can’t allow just one store or bar. Ifs all or none,

Herb Kirkconnell, the faculty advisor for the SAC, denned what outside advertising is."It is anything that doesn’t generate within the college. There has to be a control over wno can advertise in the college, otherwise there would be posters all over the walls."

The play was well directed and produced, but the ending of the performance was cut short and did not seem to fit into the play very smoothly. T.C Norris just seemed to pop in out of nowhere.

The lighting was low and visually pleas- ing. There was very little changing of sets, but When the sets were changed it was too noisy.

The theatre was small and the seating uncomfortable, but the actings was so well rehearsed and the play so well portrayed it was easy to ignore the dicomfort of the seats. v

The play was directed and produced by the Durham Shoestring Performers in their 1 Oth season on Oct 27,28 and 29 at the Arts Resource Centre in Oshawa.

All in all the performance was well done. - �(,

other actors in the film combined. Also fine is Meg Foster in the supporting

role of Alt Tanner. Beyond this, the acting is purely run of the mill, with the exception of some bright moments from Craig T. Nelson as Bernard Osterman. Burt Lancaster is dismally one-dimensional as CIA chief Maxwell Danforth.

The film’s strong points include a solid script by Alan Sharp based on a Robert Ludlum novel, good pacing by director Skfld Peckinpah and a hilarious scene in whpi Fassett must poee as a television weatherman when a " state of the art" monitor won’t turn off. ’ .

"The Osterman Weekend" is worth walking across the street to see if you have a free pass in your pocket, but otherwise not particularly worthwhile.

The band is composed of one current Durham College student and two past students: Steve Coupland on vocals arid

keyboards. Bob Perkin on bass guitar and vocals and Sony Kolodzic on drums.

Coupland took a two-year marketing course at Durham College, 1979-8 l:The course has been aof considerable help in the promotion of the band. Perkin and Bradley took technology courses at the

college .six or seven years ago and Kolodzic is presently enrolled in a welding course here.

. The band members all developed an interest in music at an eariy age and most have taken music lessons. Coupland’s music career was strongly influenced by Bob Seger and Bradley’s by Eric Clapton.

Cross Wind enjoys playing material from Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, the Atlanta Rhythm Section and Poco. The group uses seven original songs in some of their perfor- mances. They are currentfy working on their first album, to be released next year. Th(e band loves opening for. other bands, espe- cially the Good Brothers.

All the band members agree that the demands of being in a band put a great strain on relationships. Cross Wind suggests that if you want a rock music career, you need these attributes: an open mind about the types of music you play, a specific goal and the willingness to work long, hard hours to become successful.’ ,

Untraditional job training for women by Dawn L. Adams

Occupations for Women (lAT.O.) is offered by the adult training division of Durham College. The eight week program offers a full range of vocational training including exposure to the machine shop, drafting,! welding, construction trades, 1)

electronics, fork lift truck maintenance and horticulture,

\ �

More than 200 graduates have surpassed government standards of a 60% success rate, said Joan Luik, co-ordinator of the program. Many go on to complete upgrading (as required) and take courses that enable them to qualify for appren- ticeships or direct ,entfy into the work force.

/

"We look for people who are gen- uinely serious about a career and willing to put some effort into,(their training)," said Luik.�i Often they’re pioneers, reach- ing for new horizons. Compared to the example of Europe, Canadians are very Victorian regarding non-traditional jobs,’ she said. -<

"51% of the Canadian labor force is women and we’re in dire need of people in technology and skilled trades,*’ Luik said. "Women who say they don’twant to be on welfare or stand at the door of the Canada Employment Centre for ten years, who want to do something different, are the ones willing to (train). Often they are self- supporting or single women who need the salary to support their families,*’ she said.

"Reactions vary; those against women in certain jobs usually mention problems of bathrooms and bad language, but they find that women are good workers-de- pendable, conscientious and they can do the job," Luik said. "It’s surprising how helpful and cooperative co-workers can be. In the beginning they may stand back for a week or two, but then that’s the same with any job," she said.

Mystery: A Du rh a m teac he r’s spec i a lty by Lucy Rybka Chronicle rtaff

Marian Misters and J.D. Singh always wanted to know, "Did the butler really do it?*’ Now that they own their own mystery bookstore, "Sleuth of Baker Stree," they have the chance to find out

Upon purchasing the store more than a year ago, they knew little about mystery books, but were always interested in reading them. *Tve always wanted to see if I could outwit the writers and find out who did it It arouses my curiosity,*’ says Marian Misters.

Sleuth of Baker Street is a mystery book buff’s haven located at 1543 Bayview Avenue, Toronta To dedicated mystery readers it offers approximately 6,000 - 7,000 various titles, plus back issues, no longer available on the market

Also offered is a valuable, free of charge service for those who want out-of-print books. Misters and Singh will scout flea markets, publishers, etc. for the book the customer has requested. "So many people want such a great number of out-of-date books," says Misters.

Want to meet the person behind the noveP Sleuth of Baker Street is also the place to be. In the past such authors as P.J. James of England and Ted Wood and Howard Engel of Canada have visited Sleuth and held wine and cheese parties, so they could autograph books for their fans.

The Globe and Mail’s own Derrick Murdock has become a bookstore name after launching his second mystery novel at Sleuth.

Fans of Anne Perry, author of many Victorian mysteries, are invited to meet her in person and get autographed copies other most recent novel, "Rutland Place," on Nov. 7 at Sleuth of Baker Street

Sleuth was originally established by Judy Leikes, a mystery book reader who decided the spirit of Sheriock Holmes should live on at 1543 Bayview. After all, Holmes did reside at 221 B Baker Street, England.

Present owners. Misters, 28, and Singh, 28, are both chartered accountants who decided to buy Sleuth as a business venture. J.D. previously worked at a public accounting company and his wife, Marian, teaches business at Durham College. Both decided it was "a rat race out there."

"In these economic times, if you own your own business, you can’t fire yourself," explains Misters.

Now Sleuth is more than just business to them. It is something they take much pride in and pour much of their time into Judy Leikes and store manager Bill Booth helped the present owners learn as much as they could about the art of reading mystery books. Now Misters and her husband J.D. are both avid readers and have a slew of favorite authors.

Marian, for instance, will enthusiasti- cally describe her favorites as the English, light-hearted " cosies". She prefers Modesty Blaze, a fast-moving James Bond type female, written by Peter 0’DonneU. J.D., on the other hand, prefers American hard- boiled types such as Raymond Chandler and Elmore Leonard.

Is there a great demand for such a specialty bookstore? Misters explains that

Business teacher Marian Misters ponders over some books as she awaits customers at her bookstore, Sleuth of Baker Street . photo by Lucy Rybka

much of their business comes from repeat customers. Often people will just come in, start reading a mystery novel and get hooked. Marian Misters used to read’ adventure books because she thought there wasn’t much excitement in mysteries. Was she ever wrong. "Mysteries are such entertaining stones," explains Misters.

Being one of only two bookstores of its genre in Canada, Sleuth gets good exposure from publishers wanting to promote their new releases. They also have their dedicated customers who "come here for the atmosphere, the quiet and the service."

<t* ’

Marian Misters estimates there, are only about nine or ten mystery bookshops in the United States. A good deal of their business comes from there in mail order form.

Sleuth caters to childrens’ and young adults’ interests. They cany a wide selection of mystery novels for the young. "There are an awful lot of young children-adults who now read," explains Misters.

Summer months are usually good for the sale of paperbacks. "Most people don’t mind spending $3 or $4 for something that will last much longer than something like a movie," says Misters. During winter months, hard-covered books sell rapidly as presents.

Where does the future of Sleuth lie? Misters and Singh plan to hold onto this gem of a store for a long time. "We want to make this one store the best there is," exclaims Misters. And that folks, is quite obvious.

Classes run from 5 to 1 1 p. m. by Lucy Rybka Chronicle staff Due to the overflow of students thia

year in the technology division, these first year students’ regular timetables are going from 5 fi.m. to 11 p.m. every night This is expected to continue until Christinas before any changes may be made.

TRS Food Se rvi ce cate rs to co l leg e Com pany served 200 students in 1 967 ; now it serves 2,300

by JiA Shrigley Chronicle staff Durham College began operating out of a dozen

portable classrooms in September, 1967 and TRS Food Service LTD. catered to the needs of 200 students with a hot and cold buffeteria and 8 vending machines.

Since then the student population has expanded to over 2300 students and so has the function of TRS which

’ ’ ’

’ �

- i’

now maintains the college dining room and its kitchen, the cafeteria adjacent to the dining room, the main cafeteria, and the cafeteria in the Simcoe building. The company employs 28 full-time staff on location and operates all of the vending machines in the school ’

TRS started with one catering truck in 1952 and is now the largest social caterer in eastern Ontario with over

500 full- time employees and 100 part-time employees. Some familiar local customers include the new ministry of revenue building. Bell Canada, General Motors, Ouplate, Goodyear, Scarborough General Hospital, and Ontario Hydro’s nuclear locations at Picketing and. Darlington

There is an on-duty chef from TRS who oversees the food preparation in the main kitchen of the dining room. The majority of the meals for all of the cafeterias are made here with the exception of certain hot items made in each respective cafeteria. Pastry products and sandwiches for the Simcoe building cafeteria are made at the TRS plant on Farewell Avenue in Oshawa and delivered daily by refigerated trucks. Fresh produce is also brought to the school daily by a local produce distributor.

Roy lonson, director of sales and public relations for TRS. points out that his firm buys only name-brand, top- quality products. "Some products are purchased portion- controlled and these are regularly checked. Our own standards are used for bulk food preparation and this is spot-checked by our executive chef on a regular basis," contends lonson.

The kitchens of the college and the head plant of TR@ are inspected by the Durham Regional Health Unit under the jurisdiction of the Food Premises Regulations of the Public Health Act These inspections are performed at the discretion of the inspector, according to chief inspector Harold Robinson.

When the expansion of the main cafeteria at the college is completed the changes will be beneficial to the students, lonson claims. "Kitchen facilities will be expanded to look after food preparation in the cafeteria which means a wider variety of meals are available. Also, quicker service will result with the introduction of a ’scramble system* of separate lines," he stated.

Durham has a proposed food and beverage management program to be offered for September 1984. It was originally scheduled to come on-stream this past September but was postponed a year due to- the student enrollment freeze at the college for 1983-84. This tentative program is for two years duration and emphasizes a management focus to turn out administrators for the food and beverage industry. . .

Students in this program would receive classroom study and extensive practical training in the food and beverage labs and in the college cafeterias, kitchen, and. dining room.

"TRS is looking forward to working with the college on this program," asserts lonson. "It will be an educational. period for both of us on how it*s going to be done and what’s going to happen in the end. It’s always been a pleasure working with the faculty at Durham becausewe have a great working agreement with them," he concluded.- v .... . ....

F ru st rat i o n i s i m p o rta n t to ove rco m e: S n owd e n

by Steven Weaver Chronicle staff Coaching a sports team brings satisfac-

tion and coaches face triumphs and let- downs daily. Frustration has to be overcome in order to be an efficient coach.

For Dick. Snowden, frustration was overcome by becoming more tolerant

It must be paying off because Snowden has coached more winning teams than any other coach at Durham College.

Snowden had "considered himself one of the truly bad coaches of female athletes for some years,’^ he said.

Boys come through competitive ball and hockey and are used to getting up early for games, practices and they commit themselves.

<� Women have not grown up in that sort of environment and do not make that sort of commitment Things would get in their way. Driving a sister to work, or ’I had to make supper.’ Those things drove me nuts. I couldn’t understand it and I used to get extremely ticked off. I would become inef- ficient in my coaching because of it I think that Tm a little better at it now," Snowden said.

Snowden is Student Affiars Officer for Durham College and his responsibilities are

counselling, student financial aid and hous- ing. He has been at the college since 1971.

Snowden emphasizes personal commitment as part of his coaching philosophy.

"If you are going to participate in the program, think about it» know that there is going to be lots of time involved. Then, you had better be prepared to practice or play four or five nights a week," Snowden said.

When choosing a player for a team, "I try not to get to know people to well I pick them purely on athletic ability or the skill they have for the sport In a sport like softball, where you have to have a fair bit of skill in the sport, I look for that specific skill, phis athletic^ability. In a sport like curling, where I thought the actual motor skill could be acquired easily. I might look for someone who is fairiy athletic. I hope when I select players, I tend to be fairiy objective, based on what I thought their skills would be and how their skills would contribute to the team," Snowden said.

Snowden started coaching the women’s softball team in 1980 and. since that year, his team has competed in the Ontario Softball championships 4 times, finishing first in 1980, 1982 and 1983. In 1981, the team finished in third place.

Robin Morgan of Durham College ran with a stress fracture in her big toe and placed 5th out of 20 at the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association cross country finals.

Morgan injured her foot at a meet at Erindale in late September. Since the injury, Morgan’s training has been cut to running 2 or 3 miles, 3 times a week. With the injury, Morgan says she taped her toe a lot Before the injury, Morgan ran 10 miles a day.

"My coach would allow me to work out 2 or 3 times a week and a maximum of 3 miles. After that, there was no way I could run," Morgan said.

"I thought I should train a bit to accom-

plish something at the OCAA 1 ran the best I could on Saturday and the other girls ran really well".

"If Robin had not injured herself, I think she could have won. She is a very consistent and determined runner. She wants to run next year on a university team," Ken Reilly, Durham College’s cross country coach, said.

Morgan’s time in the 5,000 meter women’s run was 21:02. Percy Joy placed 33rd out of 49 runners in the 8,000 meter men’s run, with a time of 31:28.

The finals were hosted by Mohawk and held at McMaster University on Oct 29, 1983.
