505 cold ’tu rkeys’ i n trot at D u rha m

Registration fee search ends, SAC and SAA given grants

by Joanne Richard In spite of cool and

chilling temperatures, Durham College’s second annual Turkey Trot proved to be a success with over 500 shivering turkeys participating for fun, fitness, and prizes. The trotting event

held directly at the college attracted eager individuals and entire family enthusiasts to jog, walk and even roller skate either the five or 10 km. course. The trot began with the official shot at 2 p.m. by Rick Kerr, manager of the Durham College Sports Complex, and just 16 minutes and nine seconds later, Joe Duarte of the ,0shawa Legion Track and Field Club crossed the finish

by Cindy Leiliott Is there a student

activity fee at Durham College? A simple enough question but what I found was confusion from one end of the college to the other. <

Everyone, from the president of SAC to the president of the college, had a different .answer to give and no answer seemed complete. One fact emerged -

there 4s no student activity fee at Durham College. What is called a

Registration Fee of $45 is charged to students

. who attend the college during the day ( .this excludes Adult Training students). The bulk of the

Registration .Fee is used to finance the SAC and SAA.

This fee, like all other fees is paid to. the college and according

to Herb Kirkconnell, the SAC and SAA receive a "so-called grant" from the college Board of Governors.

The Registration Fee, which is a mandatory fee, replaces what used to be known as a student activity fee and has the same purpose: to finance student gov- ernments. It just has another name. ,_

line to complete the five km. course. Performance prizes

were notNgiven to the top finishers of the five km. course, which ran from the entrance of the college, along Simcoe St. N., through Camp Samac, and back to the college along the fifth concession. In the 10 km. run, the

top finishing male were: Mike Donnan (33:10), Mike Seeker (33:19), Gary Ranalli (33:45), John Gingell (33:53), Jim Wilspn (34:00), Dave Bemis (34:05).

The top finishing fe- males were: Judy Webster (39:37), Elaine Jones (40:03), Jane Ashly (45:36), Mitzi Burgess .(45:57), Barb Boyes (47:03), and

Gerry Pettit, Admiss- ions Officer, said the Registration Fee listed in the college calender is really a student activity fee.

Dr. Gordon Willey, college president, said, "realistically we do col- lect that fee for the SAC and SAA."

The Registration Fee "probably refers to the sum as ’ a student activity fee," said Sue Stones, treasurer of SAC. But she said that the sum that the SAC and SAA receive is $35 not $45.

Registrar and Director of Student Affairs Herb Kirkconnell said the other $10 of the Regis- tration Fee goes to the sports complex.

The money ($10 per student plus public fees ancf also from the college general account) is used for staffing and- mainiainence. In return, said Kirkconnell, the students are offered a "free" year membership in the sports complex.

At the beginning of the school year, a sum of money called a Registration Fee is charged. (This is payable sometime around the first part of July.) Day students at the college pay a total of $890.

Saundra Hrncir (49:01). Performance prizes

were awarded to the 12 top male and female participators for the 10 km. course which ran along Simcoe St. N., west on Taunton, turn- ing north on Stevenson, and back to the college along the Fifth Conces- sion.

All 505 runners received participation a- wards. Other small prizes such as T-shirts, gym shorts, and gym bags donated by local merchants were drawn at random. The feature prize, a

one year membership to the Durham Athletic Sports Complex valued at $160, was awarded on the second attempt to David Harris of Whitby.

Included in that total is a tuition fee of $345 which is set by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. At one time, a student

activity fee was listed, in both the college-calendar and in the SAC constitution. The 1972-73 calendar stated that the fee was $30. But in the 1973-74

calendar no such fee was mentioned.

The original SAC constitution states : ’A Student Activity Fee of $30 has been established by the Association (be’ng the SAC).

This constitution is dated .1971. The 1978 SAC constit-

ution, in Article ffl, makes provision for the SAC in case they want to implement such a fee. Somewhere between

1973 and 1978, the phrase "Student Activity Fee’ disappeared. There are a couple of reasons why.

According to Herb Kirkconnell, some radi- cals might refuse to pay an activity fee. If some don’t pay, the bulk of students might feel they don’t have to pay either.

Also, another $10 to be added for the sports complex would probably have caused problems in collecting fees.

cut from costs by energy conservation The college saved

approximately $85,000 between June of 1978 and April of 1979 through a continuing energy conservation program, said Keith Fletcher, by shaving 32 per cent off the previous year’s energy consump- tion level.

Again this school year, the program will be in effect, said Fletcher, plant supervis- or. The college has budgeted $200,000 for energy this year, a price-tag which includes both gas and electricity which provide _ beat, lights, ventilation and air-conditioning, he said. The main building.

uses hot water heating, less expensive than the electric heat in the Simcoe building, built earlier.

"Electric power is the biggest consumer" in terms of cost, said Fletcher. . requiring "almost three times as much as the gas."

Previous to the formal

conservation policy of the last two years, the college plant l^ad been conserving for three or four years on. their own initiative, said Fletcher. Energy use per square

foot of space had been constant until that time, when the figure began to drop.’. But during the last

three years, he said, the cost for energy has almost doubled.

Last May or June, Fletcher said, .a consultant was hired to do an energy audit, and the new system was im- plemented. Timers were places on

exhaust fans to control activation time, and a small gas-fired. hot Water heater was installed in the sports complex to provide hot water during summer months, enabl- ing the plant staff to shut off the larger steam boiler for that season.

Lights were , removed from parts of the hallways and from some rooms while maintaining

the requirements neces- sary, said Fletcher, and a sensor was installed to control the stopping and starting of the heaters or boilers by measuring interior and exterior temperatures.

. The heating system in the Simcoe building was "revamped," he said,

<�»��-�� ...�-»-"r..M »’

and the outside lights, which consume large amounts of power, are now scheduled to turn on at dusk and turn off at 1 a.m.

In addition, doors have been sealed, and security guards asked to turn off all lights in classrooms not being used, and turn off hallway lights after 12 midnight;. Although Durham em-

barked on the program independently, the 16 Ontario universities and one polytochnical instit- ute, Ryerson, report joint savings of $11 million from their heating bills due to a four-year conservation program of their own.

College reluctant Crime prevention Durham College has

already stated reluctance in implementing a new crime prevention program that is presently being introduced in the Oshawa and Durham area by the Durham Regional Police Force.

Operation Provident is a Canada-wide security system to help reduce thefts and help in the speedy recovery of stolen goods from various organizations and business firms. ’\

^Tm not against any improvements, but I don’t* think another set of numbers will improve the security at the College," said Reg Smith, administrator for Durham College.

OP5028-000 to OP5030-999 according to Sgt. Roy Hobbs, co-ordinator of .the Durham Regional Police Force’s crime prevention bureau.

Hobbs, who is in charge of outlining the program to all churches, schools, colleges, and business firms in the area, said that the Durham Board of Education " has already approved the implement- ation of Operation Provident.

Hobbs explained that Durham College will be formally informed about the program in about a month.

"The tags that Durham , College uses on its equipment are not adequate becuase they can be easily removed," said Hobbs.

But Smith said that the present system at the College is quite satisfactory.

Every student. in Durham College is cov- ^ered by student insurance but not many students know about it. There have never been any claims made. This year the SAC allocated $1700 for insurance or approximately $1 for each student. The insurance plan

mentarian Kirkconnell feels that he is helping the students of Durham College and the SAC seldom resent his mter- ferring. He is not there to criticize them. He has met with arguing students before and must remind them that they are not at SAC meetings to argue. "There have been cases where ’noses have been out of joint - a few times," he said.

(These benefits only apply when provincial plans do not cover them). An accident dental

expense is also included in the plan. Up to $1,000 will be paid for injury to whole or sound or natural teeth while the policy is in use. Benefits are payable for treatment within 30 days from the date of the accident and expenses incurred within 156 weeks from that date will be paid also.

For farther details, contact the SAC office.

"What makes or breaks SAC is how they contribute to committees things that make affairs go," he said. An enthusiastic SAC

executive is not enough to9 make SAC work. They are only ^ive people and five people ̂ can’t make programs work. The SAC must make progams work. The SAC must make school activities attractive to students and if there is low participation, he said,, it is a problem of "oeing a lousy salesman."

"I don’t believe that students are apathetic," Kirkconnell said. "They have priorities; hi life- styles they have things that are important to them." He drew an analogy.

There is a boy in a school that ̂ several girls ate interested in. After a period of time when he hasn’t asked any of them out, they conclude that he must . not like girls. But this is not the case. He has a steady girlfriend outside the college. The girls at the school must make themselves more attractive to him than his girlfriend is.

.

Kirkconnell has been with the school since it opened in 1967. His view of Durham College is one that has watched the college grow in 12 years.

"It is part of a system that started as a real underdog and Durham College was the smallest in the . system," Kirkconnell said. It had to * ’justify its role to the community and has done so exceptionally well." He gives credit to the "quality of teaching, -the enthusiasm the faculty generates and the quality of grads," for establishing a place in the community.

British ru nner places fourth in Durham ’s Turkey Trot For some local ath-

letes, the Turkey Trot was a major competitive event, but for an international runner like John Gingell, it was all in a day’s work. A one-time World

Games winner in 1967 in the 800 metres, Gingell placed fourth in the second Annual Turkey Trot held at Durham’ College on Oct. 14^

Presently on a seven month visit from Great Britain, the 40 year old masters runner entered the event, because he enjoys "the participation atmosphere of Canadian running".

’^Canadian races are more of; a- participation event - everyone who enjoys running enters.,

But in Great Britain, runners specialize in one distance. So, it’s not very often you have more than 70 runners in a race," said Gingell.

Gingell revealed that he tremendously enjoyed seeing all the participators running around him, as well as, the fact that there was no pressure present like^ in British races. ,

Gingell, who entered his first international race at the age of 27, ran competitively for Great Britain until 1972, winning either first or second place in 11 international races a- gainst such countries as Germaay, ’PiFaaecr Spain, and the U.,S. "One of the \nost

fc^

interesting points about my career was winning the 800 metres in the World Games in Israel in 1967. It’s quite exciting to stand up in front of 80,000 people while Golda Meir puts a gold me4al around your neck,", said Gingell,

In addition, Gingell was the British indoor champion m 19691 and 1971 in the 800 metres, and between these years he placed second. From 1969 until 1971, Gingell held the United Kingdom indoor record for the 400 metres at a time of 47.8 seconds.

After placing second in 1972 in the British Isles* 'up",- Gingell" began coaching runners such as Nick Rose who is

presently Britain’s top 5,000 metre runner.

But having reached the age of 40 in July, this has placed Gingell in the master’s category for running, and he plans to compete inter- nationally when he re- turns home to Bristol,

Qingell, who is mar-

ried and has two chil-. dren, trains faithfully ̂ in England at the Bristol Athletics Club. He has run more than 46.QOO miles in . international training - appoximately twice around the world. v .

"Masters running is the biggest growing sport in the world,’’ said Gingell, who is returning to Bristol in two weeks.

If Canadian products are not priced competitively with foreign imports, then it is foolish to assume that any individual will pay out more of his hard-earned money to purchase these home-grown products, even if it does in fact stimulate the economy and create new jobs.

Ontario Industry Minister Larry Grossman said at a news conference that many Canadian products are the same price or cheaper than imports because of the devalued dollar. But when Canadian goods are not

CANDEE FOREST

It seems odd that while entire countries are battling against political restraints and starvation is wide- spread among many nations (a world wide study estimates that 60 million people will die of starvation in 1980) Canadians cities are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for a three week extravaganza. T^e Olympic Games were once an

If the program is to be carried on by the SAC in the future there are certain safeguards which .must be placed on the purchasing of these passes. There should be some allowance for cancelled pubs even il there never is one cancelled. The very existance of such a clause j. would probably stimulate buyers because of the reduced risk involved.

In a way these passes are Hke life insurance. By shelling out the $25 initially the student is risking that they will not miss any pubs for whatever reason. If they miss more than two, they lose.

Most people, if the fact of municipal government ever touches their thoughts at all, automatically respond with one word � boring. But where else can you get such

entertainment with such educational, albeit questionable, value? Oshawa’s City Council provides humor, ten- sion, studies of character, lessons in human idiosyncrasies, and it’s free.

citizens, what our elected represent-

they may be disappointing. They may even be mildly interesting.

continued from page 1 Sometime around

1973, the Board of Governors of the college were given advice by the Ministry, of Colleges and Universities on the subject of fees. Their legal opinion was that there was the possibility of a legal battle with a student or students who didn’t want to pay the fee was quite probable.

Therefore, to make sure that funds for the SAC and SAA were available, to Board decided to finance stud-

ent government bodies with the money from the Registration Fee. The problem of alter-

ing the SAC constitution still had to be faced To make an amend-

ment a 50 per cent majority of the entire student body was required and that was impossible to get. They did however get a 60.

the SAC the power to amend the constitution. The constitution was changed to alale that it, required a 2/3 majority of the SAC, that is the executive plus the class representatives to amend the constitution. Thus, the SAC constitution now states that the SAC can incorporate a student activity fee if they wish to.

In the end what it boils down to is that the students are paying a student activity although they’re not being told that they are. A simple question?

"Go for it." the infamous words of Dave Skinner will linger in my mind for years. The more I reflect, the more I realize how important those words were to this year’s Bark Lake program. It seems that whenever any of the participants were a little down in the mouth, feeling they couldn’t go on, someone, somewhere would urge, "Go for it." That’s what thirty-two

<- Durham College students did, they went for it’and they got it. They went to Bark Lake and they survived. Bark Lake is an

Ontario Leadership Camp equipped with housing facilities and acre upon acre of bushland, nothing but trees, water and swamp. This year’s program

consisted of a number of modules, each one tied to some theme of leadership. Module one, ;

conducted prior to Bark Lake, consisted of a series of lecture/lab instruction of leadership theory, the aim of the discussion being to present the ideas which shape the current study of leadership. Unfor- tunately I was deprived of the knowledge con- veyed in Bob Hedley’s classes but he did supplement me with a 64 page mass of leadership material. Thanks Bob, but why didn’t you tell me what it was really like?

Module two began the first afternoon. Students were required to assume leadership roles during a trailwalk, and complete a series of leadership tasks to present the styles of leadership in a practical way. One full day and

evening were spent in the completion of Module three. The purpose of the this module was to demonstrate, through practice, how the skills of a group can be developed through effective communications in that the members of the group have a specific role, function and motivational base. This was accomplish-

ed, by providing special- ized training to group members and allowing the trainees to bring. their knowledge to the development of a whole group.

hi the "Night Hawk" exercise each group was issued a map, compass and a radio. They ’were then required to use the skills obtained during the morning session to complete a series of controlled map and compass moves in the camp area. The groups were to

Walk up the camp road until they reached a specified grid reference for starting their trip back to the camp through the woods. Module four dealt

with situational factors, to give the student some

experience

appreciation of how situations effect leadership styles. Two large groups set out, one walking, the other in canoes, with the objective of meeting the others. When the canoe group finally found the walking group, who had felt they were in the right place and had sat down to wait, there a problem �water, of unknown depth � and we had to get across it somehow. The problem-solving

exercise involved leadership, creativity, communication and a lot of rope with a tiny little slab of wood dangling" from it.

The leadership fun-

ctions of style, situational analysis, and group building came into practice in the fifth module. The * ’Long Walk" the last exercise in the program, entailed groups being dropped off at various points on Highway 503 with a .scenario arid instructions to meet a specifc grid reference (Papa Bear). A staff member (Mr. X-) travelled with each, group but was unable to offer any assistance until the group crossed the boundary line. Weather conditions (rain and more rain) did not allow Module five to run its full course, and all groups did arrive safely

back at camp � sooner or later. We (group R ) did not

reach Papa Bear but we tried. Anyway, when we aborted the mission, admitted we were lost and left ourselves to the mercy of Mr. )t, Don Endicott, to lead us out, he promptly confessed that he wasn’t much more sure what our location was than we were. Why Bark Lake? Why

leadership? The answers - are clear cut: Bark Lake to learn leadership and leadership because everyone will have to be a leader someday. Not always does a

leader walk before his

followers Moreover, a leader is a person with - a plan and the will to execute that plan. That is not’all; at Bark; Lake, everyone experiences some form of leadership and works in co-operation with another’s plan. Bark LaKe provider the "proximity and the control situations for an jxtended period of time one cannot hope for in the classroom. The misconceptions of

Bark Lake ^ being a

camping trip for the Sports Adminstration students must be dis- pelled immediately. By no. means is the pro" gram a vacation, it sits much farther down on the ladder than that. ft is moreover, a tightly packed week designed to create energy and in- itiate leadership styles, it goes unsaid that it us also a week designed to cause a certain amount of friction between participants and frustrate them no end. How can it be written

the way it is felt? Self worth, self respect, self achievement, all internal personal elements’ that I encountered some where, on the Orange Trail. No two participants will come away from Bark Lake feeling the same, no two will be able to match their values of �Bark Lake, but all will share the same miserable, humorous, frustrating memories and the undying urge to * ’Go for it."

The nig htmare ends . . . by lisa Nutter I woke up at 6:30

a.m. on Thursday, the day of the Long Walk with a terrible knot in the pit of my stomach. I had no desire whatso- ever to walk for eight hours in God knows what with the possibility of ending up in Hudson’s Bay, but I got up and rushed around because I was to call hop for breakfast.

I knew the day had started off badly when no one sat ’at my table for breakfast and I was forced to eat alone until some kind soul from another table, mvited^ me, ever so graciously to eat with him.

After breakfast I re- turned to prepare for the long excursion. I packed my knapsack as full as it would go and then lugged all my stuff down to Bark Lodge.

We quickly assembled ourselves into . our group and proceeded to the administration building to wait with the other groups for our first radio check.

At precisely 8:50 a.m. we had our radio check and then like a herd of elephants we were herded onto the dump truck to Highway 503. Standing in a dump truck with the wind whipping through my hair, a knapsack on my back in the extreme cold, sandwiched between two people is not my idea of fun times. We stopped at various

points along the way to let group off and we would then continue on our way. As luck would have it we were the last group to disembark and the last. ones to start on our trek into the (seemingly) unknown. Our fearless leader

warned us for what seemed the hundredth time to stay low and to keep quiet so the militia would not find us. Now have you any conception of what it is like trying to stay low and quiet as you hike up and down rocks and through mud and bug infested swamps. The possibilities of you achieving

this are quite slim and we were living proof of this.

Although we initally started out with eight people; two of our big strong men were � cap- tured and taken from us at 11 a.m. So there we were with knapsacks for eight, but only six people. With a great deal of re-arranging of food, personal belong- ings and sleeping bags we managed somehow to give Mr. X. who travelled at the end of the line, the heaviest load. We continued on our

journey only to be stopped again, but this time it was due to rain. I ’quickly realized I had been thinking once again and had neglected to pack a raincoat; I thought pneumonia was in my distant future until the ever faithful

//Mr. X came to my rescue and game me his raincoat. ,

.

. :. .

I trampled up and down hills, over slippery rocks and at times found myself wading through the swamp, but I

marched on. The further I went the wetter I got, the wetter I got the colder I got, the colder I got the hungrier I got and the more I complained. It was a vicious circle. Although I was wet,

cold, hungry and ex- hausted, basically, phy- sically drained, when I reached Papa Bear it somehow all seemed worth it.

Surprisingly enough I Hade it to Papa Bear with the other members of my group. Along the way I managed to slip and fall on the rocks causing a slight injury to my left knee. My feet were able to swim in my boots and my jeans were extremely wet from the knees down. The only good thing I could say at that point was that I was alive, by some strange feat. We decided to wait

for the next group to come in and have lunch when, and if, they arrived. In the mean- time we waited, and waited, .and waited,

During this Waiting

process I tried :as best I could to warm up and to quench my somewhat parched throat. In desperation I resorted to the ultimate, powdered orange drink and creek water, what a combina- tion. The end result was quite attractive looking, orange drink with bugs and small pieces of bark and God knows what else, but somehow it didn’t matter. We waited for the

next group for an hour, it seemed like three. When they finally drag- ged

their mud- ridden, swamp smelling bodies in to Papa Bear we attempted to make some form of lunch. In the end it consisted of soup, weiners and pork chops with the odd marshmallow being toasted here and there. Much to my delight

, we were informed short- ly thereafter we would be returning back to camp due to poor weather conditions. When the cheering died down we started to

clean the area. We packed up so efficiently we .- almost took Bob Hedley’s knapsack with us. Luckily it was recovered and we were able to start on the trek back to camp.

Once back at camp people fled to the showers to try and cleanse what was left of their bodies. When I reached my"

cabin and took off my boots my feet were so shriveled and prune-like, they alone looked 90 years old, the rest of me was in no better shape.

. As I sat in my cabin, cold and alone watching my sleeping bag drip I decided that never again under any circumstances would I do anything remotely similar to this.

I can now understand why j was told before I went, that Bark Lake is an experience I would not forget. It certainly was.

If asked at any time what I personally got out of Bark Lake I have finally found the answer: a cold and water/on the knee.

Selling nostalgia for a living can be an interesting life. Shirley Van Buren and her husband Don can testify to that.

Their travelling nostalgia show, 23 Skidoo, pulled into the Oshawa centre last weekend and attracted crowds of fas- cinated customers.

Although they have a permanent’ shop in Toronto where they live they also sell at shopping mails and nostalgia shows across the country. Most of their mer-

chandise is collectable trivia such as bubble gum cards, old maga- zines, trays, campaign buttons, and toy sol- diers. But -/they have had unusual exceptions.

, "Once my husband bought this shed at an auction sale and found a casket with a dead body inside," said Shirley Van Buren. Most of their items

are purchased by private individuals but they do buy from other nostalgia dealers as well. ,

"We try to have something in our booth

that everyone would like to look at," she said. Some of their mer-

chandise .dates back to Confederation. Items from the 30’s and 40’s are most popular with the older customers but 23 Skidoo attracts people of all ages. And their prices? < <� �We try to be fair ...

after all this is a luxury business. We’re not selling things that people really need."

�’

Van Buren said it is sometimes difficult to put a price on an article. "We once � sold a

decorative Easter egg to a lady for $150 thinking it was a legitimate price then later discovered it had been owned by a Czar of Russia. We didn’t know what it was until we saw a picture of it in a book. It was priceless." »

They admit the hours are long and" the travel- ing tiresome but they enjoy their work. "You have to have a

talent for this type of work. We wouldn’t want to worki nine to five. We have an interesting life."

Running a one-woman show can sometimes be a rewarding experience as in the case ̂ of Karen Caspell,- executive director oi the Oshawa Symphony Association. She calls herself a

"jack of all trades" arid the term applies. What else would you call someone who handles the public relations, advertising, administration and personnel of a company completely alone. *T took this job on as

a challenge...and it’s been a letarning experience," she said. Spending 40 hours a

week working at what is supposedly a part time job could be too much for some but Caspell says -she still wishes there were more hours in the day to get the word done.

Being a non-profit organization most people associated with the sym-

"Since the Stones," said Bill Kurelo, the director of the Oshawa Civic Auditorium, * ’Os- hawa has come of age." Kurelo was referring

to a concert held oh Saturday Oct. 13 featur- ing a three piece Cana- dian band called Tri- umph.

Over Wree thousand jean clad Oshawa youth turned up for the show

, despite freezing cold weather to view what Kurelo called "one of the better concerts" that the city has seen.

The opening act, Har- lequin, played for just under one hour, warm- ing the crowd up for the main event. Triumph played for

over one and a half hours to a very respon- sive crowd, Rik Emmett on lead guitar and vocals, Gil Moore on drums and vocals and

The SAC’S plan to save the students of Durham College money on pub night tickets has so far produced 34 buyers. The $25 pub night

passes which have been on sale, allowing the bearer into all SAC pubs this year, sold an initial 30« copies with the extra four coming since, said Jim MacDonnell, SAC internal vice president.

"It’s bound to happen ...the heed for more time, money and manpower." Her interest in the

arts* began when she was young. At one point in her life, she said "I had to flip a coin between athletics and the arts." The arts won.

q, She worked as community arts developer in Brampton . and a Wintario consultant before � coming to the Oshawa Symphony Association a year and a half ago. ’

The association itself has been in ’operation for 23 years. Last year the symphony received a Wintario grant which was put towards audi- ence development. As a result attendance increased 43 per cent.

Mike Levine .on. bass guitar played material from their first three Attic label records, Tri- umph, Rock and Roll Machine, and Just A Game.

Kurelo Said that he was very impressed by the crowd and their -behaviour.

"Everyone enjoyed themselves and I think that’s the way it should be," he added.

According to Kurelo the performers too were impressed by the crowd which proved to be the last Canadian date of their 1979 American tour.

In summing up the new concert life in Oshawa Kurelo had one comment. "We have gone from

the boondocks to the big apple." The ghost of the

Rolling Stones past looms on.

MacDonnell. claims neither happines nor a let down in response to sales but instead takes a neutral view.

"It’s about what I thought they would sell" said MacDonnell.

Initially the pub pass" es were intended to afford the students who bought them a saving of "af least five dollars" on the ten pubs prom-

"We found that there are many acute, sensi- tive people in , this community, " said Caspell.

Caspell said the Association has under", gone certain changes) this year. Cutting backf on expenses was one.

"These are not drastic cutbacks," but they are important, she stressed. ^When you look at

orchestras across the country there are a lot who are in severe financial troubles...We just won’t let it happen here."

Caspell said they plan to, cut back this year then gradually begin expanding next year. Another change was

the appointment of Winston Webber j as Conductor. ’ "You walk into a rehearsal arid they’re(the orchestra) sitting on the edge of their chairs... He

is a dynamic man." She expresses the

same enthusiasm when she speaks of the Board of Directors.

"Board meetings are rewarding because work actually gets done," she said. The 20-member Board

has final say on what ideas and proposals they accept from Caspell and what they won’t.

««i ’When they support my work it’s personally satisfying...It’s nice to be regarded as a pro- fessional." At the end of October

Caspell will be leaving the symphony to have her first child. When tasked what

by Use Gunby Chronicle Staff For a student with the

time and money to spare, New York City for three days and «$300 is an educational supplement that deserves straight A’s.

It’s a city where the world meets, where politics, art, theatre and fashion come together in a riot of vibrant vitality. Indeed, the New "Yorker can be forgiven for feeling the world revol- ves around his home- town.

If you want to know how to bake skunk, or want to know where the annual Canadian Outhouse Race is held, Information Oshawa has the answers to your questions.

Information Oshawa is a non profit organization . which assists people in the .Durham area who have a particular question or ’ problem and don’t know where to turn.

Formed in 1971, the community information centre helps residents find solutions to social, legal, health, govern- mental, and eriviromen- tal problems by ’’either providing information or by referring inquiries to the appropriate service.

"There is never a time when we don’t have an answer, or can’t get an answer, to a question," said Jeanette Babington, administrator of the information centre. The organization offers

free information on any service including: housing, jday care, pollution, ,

family and budget counseling, legal counseling, recreation programs, se-

Only a week ago, for example, the island was alive with tl^e impor- tance of Fidel Castro’s visit, the first for the Cuban leader in 19 years. During his United Nations address, thousands of demonstra- tors. for and against him, stopped traffic for blocks. .,, y A policeman/ standing

niors activities and services, government programs and services, financial assistance, and consumer programs.

"For the students, our organization is the key that opens the door to all sorts of knowledge and information. We help people help themselves," said Babington, who is also the public relations co-ordinator for the 75 information centres across Ontario. Apart from being a

co-ordinating centre for services and information, Information Oshawa is also a community development centre and a service centre.. "We offer the public

a duplicating service, a translation service, and a place for non profit groups to sell their tickets free of charge," said Babington.

Information Oshawa operates from the Arts Resource Centre on Queen Street and is funded by the Federal government , ’ the Provincial ministry of culture and recreation, the Municipal

Despite the activity in and arbund the U.N. on the east side, the rest of Manhattan was busy as usual, from Times Square to Soho to

government, the United Way, and local fund raising. The staff includes

three full time information consultants and 110 volunteers who engage in a wide range of activities including the preparation of material in 27 different languages for the community’s use.

Information Oshawa received 23,000 calls in 1978, and expects to receive over 30,000 calls by the end of this year. "When 1 nrst came

here in 1975, we were getting about 62 calls a month. Now we are getting over 3,000 calls a month," said Babington.

Babington revealed ’that the strangest call she has ever received came from a lady who wanted to know where the nearest cat house was located.

"I tried not to think of a house of ill repute. but I didn’t know what else to think. I told her that I would get back to her. Later that night, I- found out that there really is a cat house in Whitby where the owner takes in stray cats," said Babington.

Babington said that there is- also an. elderly lady that phones each and every day to find out what time and what day it is just to have someone to talk to.

"But we are not a distress centre. We will try to direct the caller to the proper legal aid," said Babington. So got a\ question?

The site of the famous � skyline is Manhattan, and the best known landmarks lie in mid- town, an area bordered roughly by 59th Street In the north and 34th Street in the south. The entire island is l2 miles long and 2 1/2 miles at its widest, witn a pattern of grid-iron streets and avenues in all but the south end. The tourist attractions. -

are household words, even here across the border: the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the U.N., the World Trade Centre and the PanAm Building. Few want to miss 5th Avenue, the shopping centre of the elite, or Broadway near 42nd, the home away from home of hookers, strippers and street people. A walk down Broadway is a lesson in impromptu talent, card-trick hust- lers, guitarists, kettle drummers, even organ- ists. New York City is a

student’s mecca, with more than a dozen colleges and universities with a population of more than 400,000. The bookish New York Times is at your fingertips, and foreign publications, in a multitude of languages are. easily acquired. The N.Y. Library is massive; galleries and museums abound. Broadway offers the

biggest and best theatre in the world, the stock exchange is a world- wide purveyor of wealth or the loss of it, and the department stores (Bloo- mingdale’s, Macy’s) host the latest in consumer goods. ?

New York City, a

meltine; pot of cultures, Jtussian food with atmosphere.

Then there is Studio 54, the disco that draws former "first ladies," as^ Margaret Trudeau is erroneously dubbed in the United States, and the rest of the elusive jet-set who make their homes in Manhattan. Aptly .situated on 54th Street near 8th Avenue, Studio 54 is inconspicu- ous on the outside, ’marked only with its number.

But all is not bright lights and the moneyed class and apartments renting for $1,500 a month, for the city is also the home of indi- gents who carry their entire collection of be- longings in a single shopping bag, and it’s the home of Harlem. Harlem is ’ the black

quarter, named after a Dutch town by the first Dutch settlers. ’ It’s slowly being revitalized, with new apartments and an average of two churches per block, but reminders of hard times mar the streets. Even now there is little left of 116th Street, the locale of the riots which followed the assassin- ation of Martin Luther King. But Striver’s Row, named for its inhabitants who are looking for a way out of Harlem, is bringing the blacks to the rest of the city. New» York, despite �

rumors of decay, is alive and well. It’s a city of contrasts, of Tiffany’s and tramps, and for this reason, flourishes. ,,, These things are what

New York City gives the visitor: the feeling that for a brief but satisfying time, he has been part of the focal point of the world.

Students who are interested in getting involved with international development in Third World countries should contact CUSO after graduating. CUSO is a non profit

organization which offers qualified people overseas employment opportuni- ties’ in" over 40* developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, South . Pacific, and the Caribbean.

Skilled accountants. agriculturalists, engineers, computer pro- grammers, mechanics, nurses, wblders, carpen- ters, secretaries, and many other qualified individuals are constant- ly needed to enable developing countries to^ make maximum use of

their own people and natural resources. "We are looking for

people with university degrees, trade papers, and diplomas who have had some experience. The requirement for experience could have been fulfilled through previous summer work in their related fields," said Cam Bowes, a recruiter at CUSO for aputh-westem Ontario. CUSO assignments ’are

ibr an minimum of two years so that participators can make the proper adjustments to their new surroundings. CUSO provides training, return transportation, medical and life insurance, and covers interest ^h federal student loans.

Salaries are paid dir-

ectly by the employing government in the host country at local rates of pay and an adequate standard of living is enjoyed.

"I made a salary of $1,500 a year when I was in West Africa for four years teaching his- tory, and I managed to save some money and even take a few .trips," said Bowes.

Over the past 18 years of CUSO’s existance, 6,500 people have been sent overseas. At the present time, there are over 600 Canadians vol- unteering their services throughout Third y^orld countries.

The winner of the Third Annual Invitational Men’s Basketball tournament held at Durham College on Oct. 19 and 20 was George Brown College, who defeated the Sheridan team in the final game, 85-77. George Brown played their second string players for most of the first half and still managed to come out on top. St. Lawrence, Kingston, was the Consolation winner, defeating Loyalist 8^-51. The Most Valuable Player-»award went to Mike

Willens fropa George Brown. The Durham Lords won their first game

against Niagara by a score of 61-55. In their second game against Sheridan College, Durham was ahead for most of the game, leading 25-20 at the half. With 4 minutes left to play in the game they were ahead, by 4 points but, as Lord’s coach Ted Harrisbn said,** We only played. 36 .minutes" instead of the full 40. Sheridan rallied to win the game 62-58 and put the Lords out of the tournament.

Tempers were hot, two players were thrown out of the game and the whole Seneca team left the field with 15 minutes left to play. It all served to liven up the game on^ Oct. 10 at Durham.

Durham coach Vaso Vujanovic said that the Seneca team ’came out and played a dirty game right from the start.

Scott Buchanan and a Seneca player were evicted from the game after some rough play from Seneca prompted Buchanan to retaliate.

Coach Vujanovic had reason to be glad the next day when they beat Algonquin 7-1.

"It’s amazing what the boys can do if they play together," said Vujanovic. **I was a muddy field but they played terrific."

In the first half, the game could have gone either way, he said. "We got a few breaks, they got a few breaks." Durham was ahead for most of the half but Ottawa tied the game 1-1 with a minute , to play in the half.

The Lords front line played an excellent game Vujanovic said, "Every goal was a masterpiece of the front line."

one goal for the Lords and Nigel Farrow, Ron Winterink and Myron Haluschak each got two.

The Lords have one of the best goals against average with only 8 goals in 5 games getting past the goalie. "As long as I can keep John Longmuir on the back line and Tony Bambino in the middle, "Vujanovic said,** I cah»’t see anybody beating us. We’ve got a hell of a good back line."
