    Afro-Caribbean students havethe tremendous capacity of adap-

    tation and a great deal of racial

    tolerance, said Dr. George Eatonat the official launching of the

    Afro-Caribbean Student Club lastMonday in Humber's SeventhSemester.

    About 150 students attended theoccasion which consisted of awelcome speech by Afro-Caribbean Student Club PresidentWarren States, an address byHumber President Dr. RobertGordon and a speech by, a profes-sor at York University.

    States, a second-year business

    student, said, "It is imperative

    that we, as a group, increase black

    student awareness. We feel thatnone of the students in this roomare inferior to anybody else, orsuperior.

    '

    '

    The two objectives for the clubare increasing awareness and es-tablishing an organization that the

    black students can identify with.Dr. Gordon apologized for a

    classified ad which appeared in theCoven in his address to the stu-dents.

    "1 think it was rather unfortu-nate that the reason for the creationof this club was some very ill-chosen remarks in the Coven two

    or three weeks ago," he said.However Dr. Gordon believes

    that some good came out of theremarks, saying that.it acted as acatalyst in starting the club,

    •'I'm very pleased to see thistype of group band together be-cause I think from it can come theharmony, the tolerence — the kindof things that will make this worldgo better," he said.

    Jamaican-born Dr. Eaton toldstudents that Canada has em-barked on a course of multi-culturalism, a type of cultural ac-commodation, which has encour-aged ethnic groups to retain asmuch as they wish of their culturalidentity. He said this contributes

    to the "Canadian Mosiac"."Ideally we should do away

    with the hyphenated-Canadian,"he said.

    In Ontario the Afro-Caribbeancommunity combines as the sec-ond largest ethnic group behindthe Italians, with nearly 200thousand blacks in Metro. Ac-cording to Dr. Eaton the Afro-Caribbeans have "ceased to beexotic", and are labelled as a"visable minority". He added thisattitude creates problems.

  • New association amalgamates nursesby Mic/iele P. Goitett

    A Nursing Diploma Course As-sociation has been formed to helpall Humber College NursiDg stu-dents.

    According to the associationVice-president Steve Pridham, thecourse association was organizedto help promote unity among allthe nursing students.

    "Wc want to represent bothfirst and second year students,"said Pridham. "We want inputfrom all the students^ in thecourse."

    The organization was estab-lished to help promote the nursingprofession within the college, toaccentuate student involvement,to help serve the community, tooffer additional education for itsmembers, and to provide input

    into the educational system.

    The course association, formedin February, has undertaken the

    Cancer Society Daffodil Cam-paign which was kicked off at thecollege on Monday, and addi-tional plans are being made to holdnon-alcoholic pubs and to developa Nursing Alumni.

    Pridham, Health Science'sSAC rep, said the associationwould like the nursing students atboth North and Osier campusesbrought together under one roof."We are all Humber nursing

    students and we do nothing to-gether," said Pridham. "There isno sense ofcommunity in our divi-sion."

    Pridham will confront SAC onApril 10 with his proposal toamalgamate the two groups.

    "There have been presentationsby staff for the past two years, butnothing has come of it," saidPridham. "Maybe with the back-ing of the full student body some-thing can be done."The new association is also

    working for students not yet en-rolled in the course.

    "One project we are looking into doing, is to contact all the first

    and second year honor studentsand ask them what their best studyhabits are," said Pridham. "Thenwe will correlate their ideas into abooklet and give them to the newstudents as well as those already in

    the course."Pridham said the association

    also sees a need for a NursingAlumni to help keep graduates up.to date with new technology.

    Students to join competitionfor Toronto's birttjday party

    year Landscape Technology stu-

    dents will get an opportunity to

    enter the Sesquicentennial Flower

    Bed Design Competition nextmonth. The competition is beinghosted by the Department of Parksand Recreation.

    According to Toronto Parkslandscape architect Stephen Went,the winning design will be laid on

    the south-east comer of Bay andDundas Streets this spring. Thecompetition is opened to studentsfirom area community colleges anduniversities involved in landscape

    or planting design.

    According to Went, fewschools have confirmed whether

    they'H compete.

    Students are^sked to supply adesign relating to the Sesquicen-tennial celebration. "As soon aswe have a winning design, theCity's Parks Department staff willlay the bed out," Went said. ' 'Thecompetition is yery valid andworthwhile. It gets students in-volved in aspects in the designfield as fast as possible."

    The bed will cover 200 squaremetres and will take three to fourdays to plant. Went said the Bayand Dundas Street location waschosen because of its proximity toCity Hall.

    Second and third-year land-scape students at Humber will jointhe competition, according tolandscape instructor DavidKirkpatrick. He said approxi-

    Cancer campaigncashes in on spring

    by Michele P. Goiiett

    Humber President Robert Gor-don officially kicked off the firstCancer Society Daffodil Cam-paign at North campus la^t weekwhen he reached into his pocket,pulled out $3, and bought the firstbouquet of daffodils.

    Funds from the campaign, or-

    ganized by the Nursing Diploma

    Course Association, will contri-

    bute to the $97,000 goal of the

    Rexdale unit of the Society.

    This week Nursing students willcanvass all 886 faculty and staff ofthe college for a $3 donation for a

    bouquet of 10 daffodils."When we find out how much

    support wc get irom tue stau,

    we'll send out a challenge to all thestudents to match and beat theirdonations," said campaign or-ganizer Steve Pridham.

    Students can purchase thebouquets in the Concourse April5. Hundreds of daffodil bouquetswill cover the entire outside wallof the Lecture Theatre in an ar-rangement designed by thenewly-formed HorticultureCourse Association.

    "Our goal is to take that walland break it down until there areno daffodils left," said Pridham.

    On that day as well, Torontocelebrities will be on hand to meetthose students who contribute to

    Dracula would feel right athome at Humber if the generousityof Humber students at blood donorclinics is any indication of the re-wards he might gain.

    According to Public Relationsinstructor Tom Browne,number's Red Cross blood donorclinic is one of the best in the pro-vince.

    Last semester the clinic netted

    823 pints of blood and Browne isconfident they will reach the 800mark again this semester.

    Public Relations students are

    promoting the clinic with anOlympic theme. Beds will be di-vided according to college divi-sions, with gold, silver and bronzemedals awarded to the top threedivisions. Browne said the total

    amount of blood for each divisionwill be averaged to account for thedifference in size.

    Browne said the clinic servestwo purposes.

    "The main objective is to pro-vide the Red Cross with the bloodthat it needs to do the work that itdoes with the province of On-tario," he said. "It is also a train-ing ground for PR students," headded.

    The clinic will operate 15 bedsMarch 27 to 29 from 9:30 to 3:30p.m. Burger King will sponsor thethree-day event and Levis willsupply T-shirts to encouragedonors.

    "It's now becoming an estab-lished part of the Humber year."

  • Hospitality wliets employers' appetites/?v Claire Bickley

    The Hospitality EmploymentFair, which began as a two-weekexperiment in Humber's Place-ment Centre, has turned into ayear-long success.

    Originally intended to run thefirst two weeks in November,1983, the program, in whichemployers are brought into thecollege to interview job candi-dates, is expected to continue untilthe end of the spring semester.

    Early in the fall semester, invi-tations were sent to hospitality in-dustry employers, encouragingthem to consider hiring Humberstudents.

    Five employment areas in thefood industry were approached:hotels, restaurants, resorts, foodmanufacturers and institutionalsuppliers (hospitals, residences,

    etc.).

    Companies which gave positiveresponses included Mac E>onald's,York University, The Keg andQeaver Restaurants and BeaverFoods. Holiday Inns utilizedHumber's placement services thisyear for the first time, offering 190permanent and part-time posi-tions.

    Placement Director MarthaCasson said the Hospitality Divi-sion was chosen for the job prom-otion blitz because of the students'irregular schedules.

    ' 'Those students are in class dayand night," she said. "It's not a 9to 5 industry."

    She said class sizes in both theHotel and Restaurant Manage-ment and Chef De Partie programsalmost tripled this year, producing

    a large number of graduates.In addition, the Hospitality Di-

    vision was included as a targetarea of Humber College Ad-ministration's 1983-84 Multi-Year Plan.

    According to Graham Collins,Dean of Human Studies, "eachyear every college is required bythe Council of Regents to submit aMulti-Year Plan which describesthe major objectives for the com-ing year."

    Collins said the plan reflectskey college thrusts from a plan-ning point of view.

    Casson credits the employers'enthusiastic response to Humberdoing most of their work for them.The Placement Centre discussesand prepares job descriptions withthe employer, posts informationon the position, collects and for-wards applications and schedulesinterviews at the college.

    Janet Elstone, a second-yefarHotel and Restaurant Manage-ment student, praised the programas an excellent way of discoveringjob opportunities.

    "Your initial contacl: is alreadymade, so you don't have to leavethe college," she said.

    Casson said the industry's re-cruiting pattern places Humber"in good company' ' with the Uni-versity of Guelph and RyersonPolytechnical Institute. In thepast, employers rarely approachedcommunity colleges, but becauseof Humber's outstanding reputa-tion they were considered, shesaid.

    A representative for ChrysallisRestaurants, interviewing in thecollege this week, agreed the

    program's high reputation at-tracted them to the college."We thought we would be

    looking at the cream of the crop,"she said.

    Chrysallis operates numerousToronto restaurants including

    Bemelman's, The Hazelton Cafeand the Toby's Good Eats restaur-ant chain.

    Their diversified image compli-cates hiring, and the companythought Humbercould save them alot of time.

    "If 1 interview someone andthey're sophisticated, clothes-conscious, I know they'd fit inwell at one of our Yorkville oper-ations," she said. "If 1 meet a stu-dent who is more casual I can steerthem to one of our Toby's."

    Appreciation banguist recognizesstudent contributions at Humber

    by David Stiehiro

    For those students who have di-ligently relinquished their timeand expended their talents to im-prove life at Humber College,Humber wishes to thank them witha Student Ufe Appreciation Ban-quet.

    The banquet, co-sponsored bySAC, the Humber Administrationand Athletics, will commencewith cocktails in CAPS at 6 p.m.on April 9.

    t)ue to lack of space (CAPS hasa seating capacity of only 300) thebanquet will be by Invitation only,said Public Relations studentKaren Baker. Invited guests willinclude members of Humber'sBoard of Governors, 100 athletes,including Athletics' 1983-84 MostValuable Players, 100 SAC per-sonnel, and 100 people from theCollege.

    "We'll have to pick and chooseto fill in spaces where spaces areleft open," said Baker.

    Plaques will be awarded in fivecategories, including Communi-cations, Athletics, Student Gov-ernment; Special Events and As-sociates of Humber (any person orgroup outside the College). The

    two winners in each of'the fivecategories were chosen by the re-sults of a nomination form distri-buted throughout the college..Anyone may fill in a nominationform including students, staff andthe general public. While thenominations expired March 16,

    the results of the poll will be an-nounced at the banquet." It is appropriate and important

    that recognition be given to thosepersons who contribute to studentlife activities at Humber," saidRoy Giroux, Vice-President Edu-cational and Faculty Services.

    Defacing postersan expensive gameThe legitimacy of a school election campaign too often is

    marred by the adolescent doodlings of those who fancythemselves artists.

    Most of us remember, back in grades 7 and 8, when ourmischievous natures overcame us and we added a moustacheto the face of even the friendliest candidate. After ail, howcould one not add horns or fangs to the endless pictures that

    stared at us in the washroom stalls, or hung in isolatedhallways of the school.

    Sometimes, a poster war would break out, and each poster

    would become more colorful than the last. The problem was,the real losers of the rather silly competition tended to be the

    candidates themselves, who had spent time and money topresent themselves as normal humans before our Wicked penstook over.

    Today, you'd think most us would have outgrown that

    behavior. The destruction of posters in our recent SAC elec-tion campaign would seem to prove the opposite.We seem, instead, to have learned a whole new game.

    Rather,than the juvenile slang that once covered grade school

    posters, vulgar and obscene language that tries to pass for wit

    now appears.The word to describe this once harmless phase is van-

    dalism, pure and simple, and the penalties can be harsh.Candidates in today's elections put a great _deal of time,

    money, and effort into their respective campaigns, and inreturn, they have their efforts destroyed through vandalism.

    It is too bad someone decided that men really do look betterwith add-on moustaches and that the wording of campaignissues needed to be altered so as to change their originalmeaning. .

    It is no longer funny when posters must continually bereplaced, adding to candidates' campaign costs. .

    It can even be considered libellous to take a printed state-ment issued by a candidate, reword the issues to make himlook dishonorable, and run off copies with a facsimile of thecandidate's signature (which was done in the case of onecandidate running for the presidency).

    And there can be absolutely no excuse when vandalismextends to posters unrelated to the SAC election — as it hasrecently to those produced by Public Relations students.

    People responsible for the destruction of campaign postersmight try to reason that their actions were based on a dislikefor the person in a particular poster. This is a free country andpeople are allowed to speak as they wish. But destroyinganother's property CTOsses the line.

    Caadidates themselves must follow rules concerningpostings, as does anyone else wanting to make announce-ments on bulletin boards.

    That doesn't seem too unreasonable. What is unreasonableis the childish, perhaps nialicious, defacement of electionposters — or posters of any kind - that we've betoo much of at Humber.

    past Wednesday night for theOCAA Basketball finals betweenthe Colts and our Humber Hawksknows that school spirit i$ alive

    and well at Humber!It was most encouraging to see

    the large and noisy turnout of

    Humber tans, and while the losswas a disappointment, I know that

    all present were thoroughly enter-tained by the high calibre of playdemonstrated by both teams.

    We should all be very proud ofour Hawks ahd the way they rep-

    resented this school . They gave it fine year, and for-your tremendoustheir all, and no one can ever ask contribution to the college,for more than that. Congratula- Steve Robinsontions to ail the team members for a SAC President

    Editor:

    it has been my pleasure to readthe last Coven issue (March 19)and I found the Coven, to a certainextent, misleading t^e public.Especially when it mentioned andemphasized, (in the editorial) onMr. Caron's experience and ig-nored the fact that I was Applied^viis ic^, iiuspiuuuy icpaiiu V.IICIde Partie rep in 1982-83. In addi-tion, I was the Athletic Co-

    A history of elections speak

    Humber North's Student I nion Executive tor 1971-72.

    by Dick Syren

    With SAC polling boothsopening today, it's interesting tonote that the first such elections forstudent government at Humbertook place 17 years ago.

    Based on dismal voter turnoutin previous elections, it won't besurprising to see an overwhelmingmajority of students don't castballots.

    Back on Dec. 1, 1967, an im-pressive 66 per cent of the studentpopulation turned out to vote in thefirst Student Union executiveelections. The election was held atthe College's first campus, theJames S. Bell campus onLakeshore Blvd., previously anabandoned elementary school.

    The first Student Union execu-tive consisted of a president, twovice-presidents, a treasurer and asecretary. SU President RichardBell had to deal with a studentparking shortage and a studentpopulation that was perturbedabout having to use washroomfacilities that were designed forchildren.

    Student Union moved north toRexdale, when in September,1968, the first phase of NorthCampus was completed.

    That same year, SU requestedstudent representation on theBoard of Governors, but the re-quest was denied. The followingyear, however, five students weregiven a seat on the Council of Stu-dent Affairs, a governing bodywhich had control over SUspending.

    Perhaps one of SU's mostprogressive presidents was PatMoroney, who was elected inNovember, 1968. He orchestratedseveral key internal changeswithin the SU, which are largelyresponsible for our present form ofstudent government.

    Undoubtedly, the major ac-complishment of that year was theestablishment of a constitution,although the college administra-tion still maintained vetoingpower over the student govern-ment.

    During that same year, SU at-tempted to gain editorial controlover me scnooi s iiSi studentpaper. Ad Hoc. The incident wasdocumented in Walt McDayter'sbook, Past and Presence: A His-tory of Humber College, in thisWay: " ' ' "'*-':'•-'• '*'^. '•*-"•

    "The Journalism students werealways writing bad things aboutus," complained Moroney, "andwe thought we should have our sayabout what went into the paper, orat least that we should have seenwhat went into the paper before itwas published, with the right toedit it."

    The Journalism students pro-tested the takeover and won on thegrounds of "freedom of thepress." As a result, a certain dis-trust evolved between Journalismstudents and SU.Humber' s most colorful SAC

    President was John McCarthy,elected in 1970. McCarthy usedhis campaign as an opportunity tospesUL out against the Viet NamWar and Kent State killings. Onceelected, however, he used his of-fice to criticize the communitycollege system.

    Based on previousdismal voter turnouts^it won't be surprisingif an overwhelmingmajority of students

    don't vote in 1984.

    McCarthy was well noted forstirring up controversy, as was il-lustrated when he stole the flagfrom the American Consulate andburned it. Also that year, the SUused council money to hire ateacher who taught history with aMarxist slant. His most outlandishescapade, however, involvedhimself and a group of his follow-ers who called themselves FUNK.FUNK stood for freedom, unity,nudity and knowledge. It estab-lished Liberation College whichwas a collection of students whopitched tents in the woods, wherethey conducted classes, ate andslept.

    McDayter's book documents aCoven reporter's description ofthe tent community: "They drankthe wine and ate the cheese andsmoked the pipe of peace. Butthen there was much sin and licen-tiousness which spread from tentto tent."

    "The very fact that we can holdsuch an international event meansour relatively young nation issteadily growing and maturing in

    the performing arts."

    She said Canadians will see that

    they now rank with nations withlonger cultural histories.

    "In an age of computers, com-'

    mercialism, materialism, money

    worries and inflation...we needmost urgently to grasp as firmly aspossible, the things of the mindand spirit that make our lives morebeautiful, more interesting, and

    more satisfying.

    "The arts do this. All forms ofthe arts. ..but in particular the

    performing arts because that iswhere the individual plays such anactive part."

    Among Canadian performerswill be: Karen Kain and the Na-tional Ballet of Canada, MaureenForrester, Andrew Davis and theToronto Symphony Orchestra.

    McLean says the MetropolitanOpera, celebrating its 100th birth-

    Even after last summer's majorfacelift, Humber's Osier Campuscafeteria is losing money and theDirector of Food Services islooking for a way to improve theservices.

    According to Director JohnMason, the use of the servicesmust be increased to rectify theproblem. He hopes food sales inthe cafeteria will increase through

    natural laws of supply and de-mand.

    "V\e. looked into a compulsorymeal plan in some detail, but itdefinitely won't come to pass thisyear," said Mason.

    "The cafeteria has alreadymade major gains in the quality offood services this year, but I'd liketo see more," said Mason.

    intentions to implement a mealplan could change the atmosphereof the residence.

    "The residence has a good at-mosphere and we don't want todisturb that," said Mason. "Wedon't want to lose the atmosphereof the residence as a second homefor most of the girls."

    ' 'The financial situation is sec-

    According to Mason much dis-cussion will have to go on betweenthe students and the administrationbefore any plan can be im-plemented.

    An optional meal plan is alreadyin existence for the residents. Thepresent plan costs $111, and theresident gets 32 meals which in-clude a choice of soup or salad, the

    main entree, a choice of desert,and a beverage. Next year, theprice of the same plan will in-crease by 1 1 per cent, making itworth $124,

    The new food plan would entailstudents buying a quantity of vou-chers (scrip) used for the purchaseof food.

    Mason says that because manyresidents attend classes at theLakeshore or North campus, thescrip could be used at all cam-puses.

    AncientRelics leaveNumber — Fun-lovIng lead guitarist Paul Knudson relishes in oneof the many Relic renditions.

    Relics give student pub-goerssend-off in final perforniance

    by Andrea Weiner

    The Relics gave Humber pub-goers a bang of a performance lastThursday night, making their thirdand final appearance in CAPS.

    "'IX is a way of saying goodbyeto Humber students. A last hur-rah!," said lead singer and drum-mer Mark Galloway.Galloway is also a marketing

    student at the college. He said he isin his final year, and doesn't have

    the time to continue with the band.

    The other two members of thegroup, Paul Knudson and HansFrauenlob, were in agreement toend the band.The trio played to a near capac-

    ity crowd, keeping pub-goers on

    their toes dancing to original tunesand several renditions of the Bea-des, Who, Stones and other 60'sartists.

    *'We love crowds like Humber,they're gieat to play for," saidguitarist and composer, Knudson.According to Knudson, his defin-ition of the band is a "fun loving,clean cut group of guys." Gallo-way said Knudson, a formal lawstudent at Carleton University,was the band's sex appeal andlegal advisor.

    Frauenlob, bassist and back-upsinger, previously jammed withGalloway for a number of years ina band called Antares, whileKnudson was a member of the

    band Electric Cats.The band played three sets of

    non-stop dance music, includingtheir two originals hits. Leave MeAlone and Night Like Tonight.The Relics were "strictly a

    Toronto-based band", playing toaudiences at Seneca college andHiimber's Lakeshore c!ampus,said Galloway.

    The group was on the roadtouring for four months in 1982trying to make an impression withtheir originals tunes. Trend Con-scious, Ready to Rock and GardenVariety Girls.

    Galloway said they want. toleave the group with a bang. Theydid.

    Saxophonist performs recitalby Victor Saville

    The first of 24 final recitals bythird-year music students wasperformed by saxophonist RossWooldridge in the Lecture Theatreon Wednesday evening.

    During each of the five parts ofthe recital, different band mem-bers came down from the audienceto participate in the next series ofsongs. The five parts includedclassical compositions, New Or-leans Dixieland, bebop/progressive jazz, jazzA"ock fusion

    featuring "Panacea" and largerband arrangements by Wool-dridge .

    Wooldridge opened the eveningby saying that ' 'contrary to popu-lar belief" classical music wouldbe performed. With the accom-paniment of pianist Cathy Toddthe recital opened on a very sol-emn and thoughtful note with theLeroy Ostransky classic ContestCaprice. The pensive MenoMosso, (an excerpt from Concertofor Trumpet) by Alexander Arutu-nian finished the opening move-ments with a tug on a few people'sheart strings.

    The tempo picked up radicallyas members of the New OrleansDixieland band started into therepaces for the second part of therecital. Wooldridge said he metthe band members many yearsago, at sixteen, when they occa-sionally played at Jake's Boath-ouse in Brampton.

    iiiC auuiciicc came aiive to medown home sounds of Dixieland,applauding each solo by the indi-"idual band members. The set.jded with the audience clapping

    in time to the sounds ofThe Sheikof Araby. :The third segment included

    bebop and progressive jazz songsthat even Snoopy would havefound enjoyable to dance too. TheGeorge and Ira Gershwin song AFoggy Day, written in the mid-thirties, was quick and pepperywith a synthesizer solo by "gne-semester" Humber Collegekeyboardist Rob Edson.

    The fourth part of the recitalfeatured two songs by Wool-uFiuge, L.otiiionen (in reierence to

    The Lord of the Rings) and Oriole.The fusion band Panacea dis-played their talents in this segmentof the concert.

    It was the larger band arrange-

    ments by Woolridge that Closedthe final segment of the evening'sentertainment. The Steve Wondertune i Can't Help It, written forMichael Jackson with Don Finlayon flugal horn, rounded out- themusical presentation.

    The 50 people in the audiencewere predominantly music stu-dentSj sharing their common bondof musical appreciation. It was arelaxing two hours with the bandsshowing their power whenneeded, although the volumenever reached the uncomfortablelevel. The ipusic was occasionallytedious,, when the support instru-ments were^ overshadowed by thebrass playing of Wdoldridge.

    Liz Ashton is going for Olympic • [§hy Diiui Blasini

    Six years after she placed 1 1th

    in world-class equine competi-tion, Humber's Elizabeth Ashtonhopes to ride into the top 10 at thissummer's Olympic Games in LosAngeles.

    Ashton, former Equine Centredirector and now a chairman in theApplied and Creative Arts Divi-sion, will compete in a programcalled eventing. Now 34, she'lltake with her 17 years of competi-tive experience at the international

    level.

    In eventing, she explained,' 'you actually do dressage the firstday and an endurance competitionon the second day."

    Dressage requires the horsesand riders "to go about 17 miles.Ten miles of that is over fences,various cross-country ditches andbanks, drops through and overwater and other natural types ofobstacles you would find in thecountryside."

    Injuries are not uncommon onthe field, but, "I've been reallylucky, I've had only a few minorinjuries. But, falling and gettinginjured is just part of the game,"said Ashton.There are four competitors on

    the eventing team, four on the.show jumping team and three onthe dressage team. Funding comesfrom Sport Canada and the Olym-pic Committee. As far as day-to-

    sidelinessam scrivo

    YeSr it wasa very good year

    Hats off to the men's basketball Hawks whose performance thisseason has been phenomenal. Often overshadowed by Humber'shockey team, the maroon and gold have certainly gained supportwith their performance this season.

    Credit must be given where credit is due. Afterall, coaches BillPangos and Doug Fox have compiled a group of talented athleteswhich have made Humber a contender.The Hawks were only two points shy of being Ontario's rep-

    resentatives in the national finals at Montreal this weekend. Un-fortunately, the scoreboard clock ticked off the remaining secondsin Humber's best basketball season ever. Here's how their seasonwent.

    • The first half began on a winning note, defeating AlgonquinCaats 71-66. The Hawks recorded their longest win streak whichstands at seven games. The streak extended into the second halfof the season.

    • After 12 games, Humber's record stood at 8-4. They were 4-1 athome and 4-3 on the road.

    Forward Doug McKinlay was well on his way in an attempt tobreak Marv Snowden's single season scoring record of 582points. Snowden played for George Brown Huskies from1973-76.

    • Humber ranked fifth in the OCAA — up six positions from lastseason. The second half was even more exciting.

    • The Hawks beat their all-time rivals Centennial Colts, 83-79,Jan. 18. Three new additions to the squad gave Humber extraoffensive power.

    • High scoring star Wayne Yearwood, lastlyear's most valuableplayer in the national finals while playing for Quebec's DawsonCollege, elevated the team to greater heights.

    • Forward Eric Grizzle returned to the lineup after sitting out half aseason. His scoring touch was welcomed by the Hawks' staff.Rookie forward Henry Frazer made his presence felt when hejoined the team in the second half of the season. His ablity to putpoints on the board earned him a starting position.

    s The Hawks closed the season just as it began^ on a winning note.Humbv*- edged Sheridan Bruins 68-66, and finished in secondbehind Centennial in the 13-team, Tier One division.

    • After 24 games, Humber accumulated 19 wins against five los-ses. It was the most wins and the fewest losses recorded sincetheir inception into the league in 1974. Humber had the bestsecond half record in the OCAA, losing only once after 12performances. The Hawks were on a six game win streak headinginto the playoffs.

    • An injury earlier in the second half forced McKinlay to sit out acouple of games. He was no longer able to break Snowden'srecord. He finished the season with 519 points. At season's end,McKinlay and Yearwood were selected to the first all-star team.

    • The Hawks continued their winning ways heading into theplayoffs, advancing to the semi-finals after a 72-69 win againstNiagara Knights. The Hawks pulled off a 67-65 come-from-behind victory against Fanshawe Falcons at Humber.

    • Humber then moved on to the finals where they met with Centen-nial. The best-of-three series went the limit with the Colts win-ning the series 2- 1 . Home court proved to be a crucial part of thegame. In their first encounter at Humber, the Hawks dribbled to a72-64 win.

    • The series then switched to Centennial where the Colts tied it atone game apiece with a 66-64 victory. It was do or die for bothteams in their final encounter two nights later. After leading46-45 at the half, the Hawks dropped a close 75-74 decision. CoUforward Brenton Lowe scored with 43 seconds remaining to endHumber's season.

    • The championship game was followed by awards presentation.McKinlay received the OCAA leading scoring trophy with a 23.6average.

    Throughout the season, the, Hawks^ have relied on their 13-manroster to get the job done. However, little credit is given to playerswho don't lead the league in scoring or whose statistics fail to showtheir contribution to the team.

    Those players include Michael Stephenson, Delroy Taylor,Michael Mohamed, Wayne Ambrose, Gary Cooper, MatthewCarlucci, William Polman, Angelo Nasato and Clay Hutcherson.

    J

    day competition is concerned, rid-ers must find funding on theirown.

    In a year, for the one competi-tion horse Ashton has, the costscould run up to $10,000 to keep iton the road.The total cost of hiring help and

    maintaining the horse for a year,accordng to Ashton, is about$15,000. Add to that, the cost ofthe horse is probably in theneighborhood of $15-$30,000 fora young, not developed horse."But if you were to go out and buyan international horse you'd haveto pay close to $95,000," saidAshton.

    'i have one international horse.I also have various other horsesand I've got a couple of jumpers,which is part of another discipli-nary."

    The sport hasn't caught on inCanada so Canadian riders haveonly one horse for the competi-tions.

    "One of the biggest obstacleswe have in our way is the fact thatif something goes wrong with thehorses, we have no substitues.Once the horse gets hurt the rideris out of the competition," saidAshton.

    In spite of these restrictions, inthe 1978 competitions Canadawon the world champaionship. Interms of their internafional credi-

    Id

    Li/. Ashton with friend

    bility, the Canadians have domi-nated.

    "I guess you could say, inequestian sports our jumpingteams keep coming up and win-ning gold medals yet, if anyonewere to ask anyone how theywould do no one would give thema chance because they don't havethe base or depth of forces behindthem."The Europeans have more

    horses because the EquestrianCompetitions are more of a tradi-tion in Europe than in NorthAmerica, They are, however, be-coming more popular country.

    Being part of the closing cere-monies of the Olympics, theEquestrian competitions are verypopular because they are consi-

    dered tradional.
