Blood clinic success continuesby Peter Morfitt

First-year public relations students are organiz-ing a blood donor clinic tomorrow through Thurs-day in the North campus Concourse between 10a.m. and 4 p.m.The clinic is the second organized this school

year by the P.R. program. The 650 units of bloodcollected at last October's clinic fell short of the

projected target of 800 units, amidst some con-troversy over AIDS.Red Cross officials stressed then and now there is

no link between the donation of blood and contrac-

tion of the AIDS virus.

Tom Browne, staff advisor for the campaign,echoes the Red Cross' statements in regard to the

AIDS connection, saying, "Nothing could befurther from the truth, but I still think (the miscon-ception) is going to be a factor to an extent."Browne said Humber' s clinics have been among

the best-attended in Ontario, especially October's.While some clinics across Canada were reachingonly 50 per cent of their targets, Humber met 80 percent of its.

Red Cross officials in Etobicoke look to Humberas an important source of blood donations for the

area. They say the general population here has agedover the last few years to where a large number ofregulars have passed the maximum donor age of66.As a result, the Humber population continues to

be a valuable source of donations.

For the first time in the history

of Humber Cpllege, a SAC presi-

dent is aiming for a second term ofoffice.

Last week Dara Boyerannounced she wants to be presi-

dent again next year.

Nothing in SAC's constitution

can stop her from doing this, andBoyer said only the students will

decide whether she'll be back.She said she wants to be here to

finish the college renovationsSAC is planning, and quite simp-ly, she loves the job.

'i really care about the averageJoe who's sitting in the clas-sroom," she said. "I really enjoyrepresenting him."The 1986 SAC campaign for

president and vice-president be-gins this week, culminating withthe election Wed. Mar. 26.

Since only about 12 per cent ofeligible voters turned out last year,

Boyer and other SAC membersare pushing for better results this

time.

On election day, they plan tourge students to vote.

Boyer said she will run a fair

can^aign even though she mayhave a distinct advantage as the

incumbent.

"It can do nothing but help theelection if a candidate goes up to astudent and says 'Vote,'" shesaid.

Boyer faces students and heropponents three times this week in

public debates: Monday in ThePipe, Wednesday in CAPS, andFriday in the Concourse. All de-

bates begin at noon.

Boyer, a 23-year-old business

administration student, makes$250 per week as president andmust only take two courses eachsemester.

She said the money is a fair

wage for the amount of work she

does. She said it takes up her

weekends and keeps her in late for

Inter-campus SAC federation proposedby Victor Nascimento

At least two Humber student

presidents want to unite all cam-pus student councils in a federa-

tion.

This idea, which has been float-

ing around for several years, origi-

nally surfaced in a proposal writ-

ten by former North campus SACPresident Steve Robinson.Dara Boyer, North campus stu-

dent president, said a federation

would benefit all campuses."The best thing for us at the

North would be more political

clout," she said. "SAC presi-"

dents would be able to say they are

speaking on behalf of all Humberstudents, not just one campus."Although recently-acclaimed

Lakeshore President Terry Doylehas not had time to attempt to initi-

ate a federation, he does say it

would be a good idea.' 'There are a lot of wrinkles that

have to be ironed out, but other-

wise it looks alright," he said.

"All the SACs know it's a gifeat

idea, but everyone's going to haveto pull together."

Doyle said shared access wouldbe one of the greatest benefits the

smaller campuses would get out ofa united SAC.Among other things, Lakeshore

Iand other campuses in the federa-

tion would be entitled to use the

North's business manager, facili-

ties manager, board rooms,. offices, and the pub.>

The cost of sharing the NorthSAC staff is one of the wrinkles in

the proposal, according to the

Lakeshore president.

"We would have to start payingfor staff at the North," he said.

"We wouldn't mind paying if wereceived full access, but we just

don't have the money in ourbudget."

Even though a federation wouldbenefit the smaller campuses morethan the North, SAC president at

Osier campus said she has yet to

look into the issue.

Keelesdale and York—Eglin-

ton campuses don't have theirownstudent governments. Althoughthe Queensway campuses do not

have a formal council, they dohave a student president. She wasunavailable for comment.

Boyer suggested that the fed-

eration would have to be carried

out in stages. First, she said,'

North and Lakeshore should bejoined, followed by the smaller

campuses.

Tuition, parking upby Tracey Nakamichi

Returning students will have to dig a little deeper into their

pockets when tuition is raised from $319 to $330 in September.Other price hikes for this fall will include parking fees, and the

rent at Humber' s Osier residence.

Parking will increase from $32.25 to $34 per semester, and from$62 to $65 for two semesters.

As for Osier, a one semester room rental will increase from $680to $720, and monthly rent will increase from $180 to $190.

In addition, the weekly rates will rise $5 to $75, and the daily

rates will increase $1 to $17.The food prices at Humber show no sign of change, and num-

ber's transportation manager Don McLean said he is "99.9 percent sure" the cost of Humber' s busing service will remain un-changed.

Dara Boyer

so many after-hours meetings that

she has no time for a part-time jobto pay expenses.

But Boyer stressed her drive for

re-election isn't based on greed.

"If you're a committed student

president, you don't have anyspare time to work. You shouldn'thave, anyway."

newsAmphitheatre may get dome

by Robert Risk

Humber College and SAC are

considering a $2 million expan-

sion to give students at Humberts

North Campus more leisure space.

The proposal is an alternative to

a $700,000 plan SAC voted unani-

mously for last month.

It would have expanded an area

near the front of the college. Thesecond proposal, suggested by the

college, would put a dome over

the amphitheatre.

SAC President Dara Boyer said

each student may have to payaroutid $S more per semester to

help pay for the new space.

Proposal has hefty price tag

"We're going to see what the

plans are and th^n decide onwhether to accept them or not,"

said Boyer.

A feasibility study is being con-

ducted by the college to come upwith a plan which will include

building a roof over theampitheatre by September 1987.

The amphitheatre area, which is

next to the Pipe, will also have anoffice tower in its center, whichmay hold new SAC offices.

Ken Cohen, Humber's director

of physical resources, said there is

Interior design instructor dies

Humber college faculty member, Bruce Garland, died of a heart

attack March 6 while on vacation in Cuba. He was 56.

Garland was a teaching master in the Interior Design program in

the Applied and Creative Arts division.

He started working at Humber as part-time staff in the Con-

tinuing Education department in 1976 and became a fulUime faculty

member in January, 1982.

Prior to woiicing at Humber, Garland taught in four Toronto high

schools.

He graduated from the Ontario College of Arts in 1960 with a

diploma in Advertising Illustration.

Before arriving at Humber, he also owned his own company.

Garland Design, from 1963 to 1974.

Fellow faculty member and Chairman of ACA, Art Coles,

described Garland as someone who cared for students.

"He was an unpretentious man, yet a talented artist and teacher

who cared for students," Coles said.

a potential for more than 30,000square feet to be created when the

roof is built.

SAC Entertainment Director

Glenn Zembal said one of the stu-

dent government's main com-plaints has been the poor location

of its offices.

"People don't know we're

down here doing things for them,

said Zembal. "I've seen tours of

the college pass right by our

office, not noticing us."

Cohen agreed, saying the new

offices would give SAC a higher

profile in the college.

"The new plan would have SACin an unavoidable spot in the cen-

ter of the college."

Boyer said the new space would

allow SAC to enlarge the existing

quiet lounge and games roomwhich, she believes, are important

for the students to have.

"We have 8000 students here

and we have only one pool table.

The quiet lounge and the games

room are always overcrowded."

Humber President Robert Gor-

don acknowledged the importance

of having more area made exclu-

sively for student use.

However, Gordon said the col-

lege would be interested in getting

the existing SAC office space and

using it to build more faculty

offices.

Business, TnT, rec manag% nursing and ambulance

More moves may be ahead for programsby Bob Barnett

A document dealing with de-

clining enrolment and the future

academic needs of some dumber(HX>grams was the subject of an

emotional meeting at Lakeshore

campus Feb. 26.

The document, prepared byVice-President Academic Tom

Norton and Business DeanRichard Hook, recommends mov-ing the travel and tourism, re-

creational leadership, and all busi-

ness programs from Lakeshore to

tfie Nor£ campus.

It also suggests moving nursing

and emergency ambulance care

programs from North and Osier

campuses to Lakeshore.

Free Killington ski trip

draws only six entrantsby Chrystelle Owens

Only six students entered a SAC contest for a free trip to Killington,

Vt. All entrants had to do was write one paragraph on why they deserved

to win.

But the lack of interest in SAC activities isn't discouraging, according

to Activities Co-ordinator Debbie Thomson."There's always a certain anKNint ofapathy , and six people signing up

for a contest is good," said Thomson. *'We really enjoyed reading the

entries. They were very well written,'*

Said the winner, first-yearjournalism student Martin Powell: "I knowwhen I submitted my paragraph there was only one other entry in."

SAC had advertised the contest in its newsletter Inside Track, byhanging banners, and with notices in Coven.

She added SAC should have received more entries, and that most of its

other activities have been well attended.

Although President RobertGordon pointed out the documentwas for discussion only and nodecision has been made to moveprograms for next fall, he said

some moves are likely in the fu-

ture.

"There is no one here, certainly

not the president, or myself, or

Rick (Hook) that is hung-up or

stuck with any of the recom-mendations," Norton said.

"What we are stuck with is that

somehow we've got to come upwith some kind of program that's

going to give the campuses of the

college some unique flavor over

the next few years."

But business faculty and stu-

dents in attendance at the meeting

were sceptical.

Some teachers said declining

business enrolment is the result ofoutdated programs. It was also

suggested that if business movesto the North campus only 30 per

cent of the 400 students will movewith it, and some students repe-

atedly sought assurance they

would not have to move to the

North campus in September.Gordon said the college has an

obligation to students who havealready applied on the assumption

they are going to certain cam-puses.

"We're not going to move anystudents who are presently enrol-

led to a campus against their will

for September of *86. I cannot

guarantee beyond that," he said.

Christine Tomchak, a business

program co-ordinator, proposedher faculty present Gordon with a

position paper by the end of this

semester, input die president said

he welcomes.

Paul Copeland, Lakeshore SACtreasurer and business student,

said he felt better after the meet-ing, but was not completely reas-

sured.

"I think they're going to goahead with (the move)," he said,

noting that travel and tourism wasmoved to Lakeshore without stu-

dent consultation two years ago.

But Travel and Tourism Co-ordinator Al Lobo said he wouldbe quite happy moving to the

North campus. He said it wouldmean his students could work with

the hotel and restaurant programs,

thereby strengthening the Hospi-

tality Division.

Lobo's program is twO-year andnew students arrive each semes-

ter. If the move North is not madeuntil Sept. '87 it would affect only

about 45 students who started the

program this past January.

Jack Bowman, co-ordinator of

recreational leadership, also said

the North campus is the best loca-

tion for his program.

KeelesdaleSAC on roll

by Stav Katsoulis

After only three meetings, the

newly-formed Keelesdale Student

Association Council has started

organizing a variety of events in-

cluding a talent show and cultural

caravan.

Despite a slow start. Student

Affairs OfTicer Elizabeth Ganongsaid she is very pleased with the

council's performance. Interest in

the council has increased greatly,

she said.

At first, only two students hadshown interest in forming an acti-

vities committee at Keelesdale,

but now more than 15 students

attend each meeting and the coun-

cil continues to gain support.

Fitness classes were organized

one week after the committee wasformed. They are held every Tues-

day, Wednesday and Friday from12:30 — 1:00 and are led byKeelesdale student VeronicaVernon.

"Students, through word of

mouth, hear about my classes andnow we have 15 regulars," she

said.

Vernon is now looking for

another student to teach aerobics

at a different time since many stu-

dents have shown interest in the

classes but their timetables do not

permit them to attend.

The council is now focusing its

efforts on a talent show and a

cultural caravan it hopes to orga-

nize by late April or early May."These two events will require

a great deal more organization andeffort," said Ganong.

"The caravan especially will be

a lot of work and difficult to

plan," she said. *'And because

everyone is in and out of Keeles-

dale at different times, we'regoing to request the help of the

staff to organize it."

Personalchequesbanned

by John Pires

Students must now pay their

tuition with a certified cheque,

money order, or cash.

Last year, Humber students

were able to buy books or pay their

tuition fees with personal che-

ques. Convenience for the student

led to massive headaches for

Financial Services.

They were stuck with $20,000in tuition fee and $3,(X)0 in book-

store purchase cheques stampedwith NSF (Non Sufficient funds).

A spokesperson for financial

services said most of the culprits

were eventually forced to pay upor withdraw from class.

Statistics show that the new reg-

ulations have reduced the numberof returned cheques drastically,

easing the burden on Financial

Services staff.

Gordon pans federal governmentfor dropping Katimavik program

by David Cox WWvf'^Mmk^i^mmm.. jio u_ d_„:j._. n_.._^ ^._ It: WSimmm^:'-^BmP^^^^^^^ Hebert said he was told bv th

Coven Mtfiiday, March 17, 1986 Page 3

by David Cox

Humber President Robert Gordon has called the federal govern-ment "penny-wise pound-foolish" for cancelling the popu-lar Katimavik program.Gordon expressed his support

for Katimavik, echoing flndingsof the recently published Senatereport on youth.

"My understanding was that

the program was effective over the

years. Not only did (the partici-

pants) grow up and find direction

but they also did some good whilethey were in it."

Katimavik was a youth life

skills program initiated by the for-

mer Liberal government in 1976.Liberal Senator Jacques Heberthas brought the axed program to

the nation's attention with his hun-ger strike. He said the Conserva-tive government was wrong "toreduce the deficit on the backs ofour young people" by axing the

$20 million program.' 'We are lucky these are not the

young people of the 1960's or the

197p's," said Hebert.

"Young people today are verypatient, but this patience will haveits limits."

Gordon said Humber has notformally sent a protest to the gov-

Robert Gordonernment but is considering themove.

SAC President Dara Boyer saidshe plans to write letters to theMinistry of Youth and the Secret-ary of State to express concern ab-

> out the government's decision tocancel Katimavik.

According to Hebert, the200,000 member Ontario Federa-tion of Students (no longer associ-ated with SAC) sent a telegram toPrime Minister Brian Mulroneyprotesting the cancellation.

The Senate report, entitledYouth: A Plan ofAction proposesradical solutions to the problemsfacing Canadians in the 1980'sand a new program based on Kati-mavik. The report was publishedjust weeks after Katimavik wascancelled.

Hebert said he was told by theSecretary of State, BenoitBouchard, that a replacementprogram would be created "out ofthe ashes of Katimavik.

'

' Howev-er, the most recent federal budgetproduced no such program and eli-

minated all funding for the Minis-try of Youth.

Hebert, chairman of the Com-mittee on Youth, which producedthe report said youth unemploy-ment statistics in Canada were at

unacceptably high levels, espe-cially in disadvantaged areas ofCanada.

Most Ontario Katimavikadminstrators favor the expandedprogram but want participantsscreened to give the program cre-dibility.

Suggestions that Katimavikfind other sources of funding havebeen rejected by local board mem-bers who agree there isn't time toraise funds. Hebert also rejects

this notion, saying that businesswill never support such a programand the provinces cannot afford it.

Under the constitution, educationis a provincial responsibility, butthere is doubt whether Katimavik.is an educational program.

by Mia Harman

So reads the sign displayed in

the window of the North campusbookstore.

Now that students are in thehome stretch of the winter semes-ter, most have come to terms withnot finding a locker or, like first-

year student Sina Rocca, havie

taken the matter into their ownhands in spite of the bookstorewarning.

"If they tell you at the book-store that there are no lockers, youcan just put your own lock on it,

and not pay for it," said Rocca.Before the March break, a

bookstore spokesman said 40lockers were available, most ofthem in the 'D' and *L' sections ofthe college. But a quick checkaround the college revealed at

least 79 empty lockers.The spokesman attributed the

discrepancy to paperwork, saying

**You can just

lock on it andwhen students withdraw from acourse, "the withdrawal formfrom the registrar's office takes along time, and you could be goneweeks before we would know it.

SEND ME TO FORT LAUDERDALEby Richard Saraiva

Tel: 625-8848

Ai«i D-. *u .m. Student no. 820-676-294A Little Bit About Me

I'm a 21 year old third year Business Administration studentwtiose main interests include: women (American especially)partying, fast cars and body building. I've been living in Missis-sauea for ten years tiow and aboutthe most excitement I've hadlately is shooing the neighbours dog away from the trees in ourbackyard. As well as going to school full-time, I work part-time asa courier. OK, that's enough about me, now let's talk about whyyou should choose me to be the lucky winner in the win a trip toFort Lauderdale contest.

Why Me? FU tell ya why...After being at Humber for what seems like an eternity, I need a

vacation to get away from the pressures of essays, tests, assign-ments, and especially the teachers. The need to escape also ap-plies to work. Working almost forty hours a week and going toschool full time does not leave a guy much time for social intprac-tion. Maintaining a schedule like this for a long period of time canbe very tiringboth physically and mentally. A trip to Fort Lauder-dale during the March Break is just what the doctor ordered. Lastbut not least, lying on a nice hot beach sure beats shovelling snowoff a long cola driveway.Enclosed is my lucky penny that I found while walking to

school one day. It's even American.Note. This is not a bribe.

To The People Who Can Make It All Possibleby Martin Powell— Teh 769-4049

Do you think I deserve a free trip to Killington, courtesy ofHumber's SAC? Well I will try to convince you anyway!One of my favorite sports is skiing. To be perfectly honest, I

would rather be skiing than stuck in Toronto during the MarchBreak. However, skiing is expensive and therefore I have onlybeen skiing once this year at Horseshoe Valley.

I have been skiing in Ontario for about seven years and I haveProgressed in this time period to become an advanced skier. I

ave bought new recreational sport skiis within this time and Iamyearnine to try them out on a real mountain, not the little piddleymolehills we have in Ontario.

Secondly, to fully enjoy a group ski vacation which includesapres-ski activities, it is an absolute pre-requisite to enjoy meetingnew people and enjoy having an excellent time. I believe I havethe qualities to get the most out of your ski holiday.

Furthermore, to capture the thrill of excitement, bouncing offthose moguls, silking, carving, falling down steep inclines, tumb-ling, and rolling across the slopes, I will bring my all-weathercamera. This rugged camera will capture the one week extravan-ganza you and I will remember the rest of our days.However, to capture the colour and feeling, the ski experience

needs more than vivid photographs. As a Journalism student, I

can write about what I expect to be a wild and adventurous weekin the sun and snow of beautiful Vermont. A travelogue to Coven,reporting how others and I enjoyed Killington may prompt othersto participate in up-coming SAC outings.Why do I deserve to go, why do my reasons stand alone among

the sea, the swill of other plea letters?Martin Powell deserves to go to Killington because he wants to

have a great time with people and hill, 'mountain and man', andto conouer the hill, and to capture in written word and picture,the Killington experience. But above all, Martin, yes that's me,Powell, deserves to go because of the yearn for the ultimate skiexperience. Yes I Martin Powell, have that dream, please do notlet it die!

Retraining sitills offeredby Chris Childs

With increasing numbers of

people changing jobs or becomingunemployed, retraining and skills

development is becoming a ne-

cessity.

Humber's Queensway campusoffers a variety of programs to

help find the right job and stick

with it.

Queensway 's general mandateis to provide short-term retraining

for adult learners. Of the three

buildings making up the campus,Queensway 'C is a career centre

catering to people seeking skills

upgrading and career planning.

Its programs, both provincially

and federally sponsoreid, are most-ly geared to women.

For instance, PATH: PreparingWomen For Careers In New Tech-nology is a 16-week adult training

and re-entry program introducing

women with high school diplomasto careers in technology.

Cindy Niemi, the co-ordinator

of Queensway's Career Develop-ment Programs, says one impor-

'

tant aspect of all the programs is

the support members in a groupsetting give each other, asopposed to a classroom situation.

Queensway's appeal lies in the

non-traditional group effort, sheadded.

The other programs includeCareer Planning, DiscoveringYour Options, Job ReadinessTraining, and the newly intro-

duced Job Club, a venture Niemiis particularly enthusiastic about.

Job Club is a free three-weekcourse that teaches the techniques

of looking for a job—a job in it-

self.

"People falter in the job huntbecause they don't have the skills;

they don't have the motivation orenergy," says Niemi.The first Job Club, started in

late November, resulted in an 80per cent success rate.

The Discovering Your Optionsprogram takes a more academicapproach in assisting people,mainly women, to move into newcareers or further training.

Job Readiness Training (JRT)

addresses the problems of frustra-

tion, depression, and the ensuinglack of confidence brought aboutby the student not knowing his orher place in the workforce.

Students enter the 12-weekcourse as fee-payers based on$16.45 a week, or may be eligible

for an Adult Training Allowanceor U.I.C. benefits from CanadaEmployment and Immigration.

Students can create

their summerj§]•

by Casey Wiatrowski

Think you have the makings of a young entrepreneur? The OntarioMinistry of Skills Development has a program that may help you getstarted.

The Student Venture Capital Program (SVCP) is one of three summerjob programs offered by the ministry.

The SVCP offers eligible students interest-free loans of up to $2,000from Apr. 1 to Oct. 1, 1986, the repayment deadline, after which interestbegins to accrue.

Failure to repay the loan by this date may endanger eligibility forOSAP grants and loans.

A candidate for the SVCP must be returning to college or university asa full-time student next fall. Any business partners must also fit this bill,

and all must be at least 15 years of age when the loan is issued.Business activity should begin two weeks from receipt of funds, and it

must be conducted in Ontario. The borrower may be asked to submit astatus report after one month to prove this, otherwise the loan can berecalled.

And finally, the endeavor must be what is generally accepted as anindependent business. A commissioned salesperson for a manufactureror distributor does not count.

The ministry will accept applications until Jun. 13, provided funds arestill available. For more information, contact the placement office in theGordon Wragg Centre.

The Election of a New and Capable executive

is to be held on Monday, March 24, at 5:00 p.m.

The meeting will be held in the part of the Pipe at

the foot ofthe stairs as you come down to the Seven

Semester entrance. Unfortunately we were not

able to obtain a more suitable area.

The selection of the president, three

vice-presidents, treasurer, secretary,

chief-shop-steward. These positions must be filled

from shop stewards that have been elected from

their areas of work.

The auditors two of them must be selected

from outside of the shop stewards, their job is to

check the bank balances, etc. and to verify that

your moneys are not being spent on items

prohibited by the union constitution.

We will also elect three delegates and an

alternate to attend the Annual Convention to be

held in November as well as a Regional Meeting to

be held during September or October.

These delegates should be prepared to attend

the entire Convention and to report back to the

membership as to the proceedings.

On a personal note as the president of your

local I have had a busy and extremely interesting

four years. I would be remis if J did not attempt to

thank the shop stewards for their help and trust. I

would also like to thank Diane McArdle our

secretary for looking after arrangements and for

her constant endeavours to see that all the sick or

breaved are sent flowers or fruit so quickly and

with a smile. To Vema Hooper our treasurer who

puts up with paying all the bills. To Rhoda

Sullivan, a better vice-president would be hard to

find, for her constant help and encouragement has

made this job easier. To the rest of the executive

Fred, Brenda, Ian, and to the trustees a very much

deserved thank you.

Ifyou have questions about what is happening

in the college share them with us, and we'll try to

get the answers to them.

vieAArpointCutbacks done at

youths expenseIt's seems we're not the only ones who are upset at the demise of

the Katimavik program... . »_ . u

Liberal Senator Jacques Hebert's hunger strike in the senate has

dramatized the need for action, and not just in the reinstatement of

the Katimavik program. ,.»_...The government claims that the money could be better spent on

creating job skills rather than life skills, but the past has shown

these programs not to be particularly effective.

Hebert's crusade makes clear that the government no longer

takes seriously the needs of the young people of this country.

This concerns the Humber community— and not only because

programs like Katimavik have touched the life of the college when

four participants helped out in the Arboretum.

No, the government's disregard for young people also extends

to their drastic reductions in funding for post-secondary education

.

This is of extreme concern to the students, faculty and staff at

Humber, not to mention the four participants at the Arboretum.

Young Canadians shouldn't be the ones to bear the responsibil-

ity for the huge deficit. The blame for the deficit should be placed

where it belongs— on the banker friends of the Mulroneys and the

Tumers who are so quickly bailed out. Surely the four Katimavik

participants in the Arboretum and other young people should not

be held responsible for our government's mistakes.

The Minister of Youth should work toward the reinstatement of

this U.N. award-winning program instead of asking for taxpayers'

money for the Young Tories.

Statistics show a lower unemployment rate among youths who

have completed the Katimavik program compared with the same

age group in the country who had not.

We commend Senator Hebert for his courageous actions on

behalf of youth— although the only reduction that may be noticed

will probably be at his waistline.

Movie studio place of equality

Dear Editor:

I'm writing in regards to the

article that appeared in the Feb.

lOth edition of Coven entitled

'birls Focus on Film.' I have nev-

er seen a more tasteless, useless

and misrepresentating piece of

journalism in my entire life.

I agree that it's unfortunate that

very few females apply for the

cinematography program.However, this article is written in

such a manner, that one would

think by reading it, that the males

in the program are a bunch of

chauvinistic pigs.

This is not the case nor is there a

grain of tmth in it. We (the male

students) have never treated the

females in the program any diffe-

rent from anyone else. As for the

quote that Coven used, ("You're

letting HER direct?") there is se-

rious doubt to if that was even

said. If it was said, it was said as a

joke which questioned her ability

to direct, NOT because she's

female.

Furthermore, the quote under

the photograph which read "Awoman's place is in the movie stu-

dio," takes the writer's crazy idea

that sexist attitudes exist and com-

pletely turns them around. A

movie studio is a place of equality

and BOTH men and women are

welcome. (By the way, she's sit-

ting in a television studio.)

If you're going to publish a use-

less article that makes a big deal

out of nothing at all, 1 suggest that

you fully research it and print

statements that are both truthful

and complete. Next week, whydon't you go find out how many

males are in the 'nursing'

program?Joel Zigler

• to SAC and the Lakeshore campus for supporting the Ontario Col-

lege Handicap Awareness Program this week. The week will feature

films, videos, and literature, designed to raise people's awareness about

physical disability. Thursday, March 20, will be disability day. Sttidents

will have a chance to simulate disabilities— for instance, by playing a

game of wheelchair basketball. Lakeshore is one of the few college

campuses that sponsors Special Needs students. Organizers hope to raise

$1,500, to be put into a trust account for Special Needs students. An

excellent cause, one that deserves full support.

• to the continuing apathy of Humber students. Only six (6) people

entered SAC's 'Tell-us-why-you-deserve-to-win-a-trip-to-Killington,

Vt.-Contest.' "There's always a certain amount of apathy, and six

people signing up for a contest is good," said Debbie Thomson, SACactivities co-ordinator. Six people? Out of9,00m Oh, that's just dandy.

• to number's electoral system, for allowing SAC presidents to serve

an unlimited number of terms. This seems like a blueprint for the

perpetuation of inefficient administrations.

Consult students on spending

Dear Editor:

The SAC president recently met

with students and fielded ques-

tions on a proposed new student

cenu-e. This centre would cost the

. student body roughly three quar-

ters of a million dollars for an area

described as a place where we

could "hang out." I believe we

already have enough areas to

"hang out" and these are not

being used to their full capacity.

Could this money not be used on

better proposals? Several ideas

that I would like to suggest are a

fund for needy students, expanded

day care services or reduce the

money we pay into the Student

Activity fund. Do we really need

to spend this money on an ex-

panded "hang out" area?

The Student Council, without

polling the student body, voted

unanimously for this centre. In

doing this, they will leave a

memorial of their year as council

members, thus assuring immor-

tality.

I believe that the Student Coun-

cil as our elected representatives

have the right to administer the

accumulated Student Activity

Fund, but not to spend the monies

without consulting the student

body. Should not a referendum be

held on the proposed new sttident

centre, so that the council's ac-

tions can reflect the wishes of the

student body. In this way, all stu-

dents would assume the responsi-

bility of a considerable debt and

higher student activity fees in the

future.

As an individual, I am not in

favour of this grandiose whim of

the present student council.

Marijuana the drug of choice

Poll shows dope is prevalent and availableby Paul Bliss

and Garnet Barnsdale

Close to 60 per cent of students

surveyed at Humber College'sNorth campus use illegal drugs ona regular basis, a poll taken last

month has revealed.

According to the poll, morethan 60 per cent of the 75 students

questioned have used some type ofdrug at least once, and more than

57 per cent use drugs regularly.

The survey, conducted random-ly throughout the campus, ques-tioned students as to how muchthey use, what they use, and why.

Weekly hashAmong the most common drugs

used are marijuana, hashish,LSD, and in some cases cocaine.

More than 80 per cent of thosewho tried drugs used marijuanaand hashish.

Almost 60 per cent began usingdrugs because of peer pressure;

experimentation was also high onthe list of reasons for trying andusing drugs.

One 22-year-oId student whosmoked pot and hash weekly said

he did it to experiment: "I wantedto see how long I could fight offthe drug — you know, keep the

effects away."

He likes it

In some cases large sums ofmoney are spent on drugs, and onestudent spent $200 a month be-

cause he "liked" it.

More than 90 per cent of the

students polled who use drugs reg-

ularly said the drugs are "easilyavailable," testimony TomChristopher, a counsellor at theNorth campus, echoed.

"It's so bloody available,"Christopher commented about the

ease with which one can buyalmost any type of drug.

Christopher, who worked at the

Addiction Research Centre for

five years, said very few students

approach counsellors for help with

drug problems.

PHOTO BY PAUL BLISS

Heaa S up—a recent poll taken at Humber's North Campus reveals that an alarming number ofstudents use illicit drugs on a regular basis.

"The use of drugs today is

much more socially acceptable.Therefore most people who usethem don't feel they need help,and maybe they don't."The most visible measure taken

recently to prevent the use ofpot at

Humber is the cage installed in theL-wing of the North campus.

Hard stuffKen Cohen, director of Physic-

al Resources, who dubbed the cor-ridor 'the stairway to heaven,'said the cage was put up to make it

as difficult as possible for peopleto do illegal things there.

"We don't have enough secur-ity personnel to patrol every sec-

luded part of the school," he said

.

Despite the lack of security,

Humber officials have co-operated with police officers to

smash drug rings in the past. Fiveyears ago, 21 arrests were madefollowing an undercover opera-tion at Humber.Don McLean, superintendent

of outside services, was head ofsecurity at the time of the inves-

tigation.

McLean was approached by anumber of teachers who informedhim of students using hard drugssuch as LSD, angel dust (PCP),and heroin in the washrooms.McLean said they were more

concerned with catching sellers

than buyers.

The big money"We felt we were losing the

battle," McLean said, referring to

the escalation of drug sales within,

the college. Most of the arrests

made after the six-month inves-tigation were for trafficking.

McLean admits arresting everydrug user is an impossibility. Aswell. Ken Cohen believes thatconcentrating on the dealers is amore effective way of controllingdrug use.

Dealers"I can't be calling the police

everytime I see a kid light up ajoint," Cohen said.

According to McLean, one wayof reducing drug use among stu-dents is to make them more awareof their effects.

"SAC should offer a drugawareness program," McLeansaid, but SAC President DaraBoyer thinks the responsibility

lies more with the individual.

"I'm not sure students feel that

it's anyone's position to saywhether they can or cannot do it,

'

'

Boyer said.

"Personally, I feel people are

adults and can do what they want,as long as it's not in the studentcentre."

Boyer said drug use is not infre-

quent in CAPS, the SAC-run stu-

dent pub.

"It is fairly common for drugsto be used in CAPS every week,"she said.

"We tell them to put (joints) outor go do it outside. We don'tsearch people as they are cominginto CAPS."

Lids W CAPSBoyer said if people persist in

using drugs in the pub, they are

promptly shown the exits.

"!t would be safer to legally

restrict the use of drugs," addedBoyer. "If (marijuana) was legal-

ized, I'm sure we'd go for a li-

cence for CAPS."According to the survey, use of

hard drugs is uncommon at theNorth campus.

However, there have been someinstances of injury resulting fipomthe use of drugs. Helen Swann, anurse at the North campus, hastreated students who have beenbrought into the health carecentre.

Abnormal"Over the years some seriously

injured people have been broughthere who received their injuries asa result of drug use," she said.

"I don't think people put theirheads through plate glass doors af-

ter simply drinking a couple ofbeers," Swann said. "It usuallytakes some other type of inebria-tion to cause this kind ofabnormalbehavior."Swann said the health care per-

sonnel take what available mea-sures they can, and if necessary apatient will be brought to theemergency room at EtobicokeGeneral Hospital.

Teachers tackle subtleties of disciplineby Sue Hobbs

When a student breaks down or becomes argu-

mentative in class, chances are a teacher may be unsureof how to handle the situation.

Humber counsellor Pamela Mitchell said there are

two ways to deal with an upset student: listen and refer

for help.

Mitchell and counsellors Anne Chesterton and AnnBaricer-Voison held an informal brainstorming session

for faculty Feb. 19 to discuss student problems and the

responsibilities of teachers in disruptive classroomsituations.

Kids with knivesThe majority of faculty who attended the seminar

are in their first two years ofteaching at Humber. Some25 teachers defined typical classroom problems asstudents who become violent or argumentative, loudand obnoxious complaints, drug or alcohol problems,inattention and talkative cliques of students.

Mitchell said teachers play a fine balancing act be-tween meeting students' emotional needs and main-taining their standards.

"That's always a judgment call," said Mitchell.*'We get two areas mixed up; the standards maintainedin the classroom and the ability to listen and be caringto the student.

' 'And you can do both. You can listen to the studentin tears and still maintain your standards."

Starr Olsen of Professional Development said agood strategy in a tense classroom situation is to notsingle out a student.

"Single out a student and you'll end up with twocamps; one for the student and one for you," Olsen

said. "Treat it as a whole."Olsen also said she would remove a student from a

classroom, but not by using humiliation.' 'I don't need that kind ofpower,

'

' she said. * 'I haveodier kinds of power I can use to control the class. I

have referrent power, I have the power of how other

students respond to me and I have powerof administra-tion."

"I've taken knives away and I've had kids smokinggrass...to me we're talking about two things: the be-

havior of the student and our own behavior in relation

to whatever is happening in the classroom."One teacher recommended calling the class to a halt

for a break and asking the troublesome student to stay

behind. He said he would then ask the student to leave

the class. This method, he said, would prevent what hecalled

'

'mob action'

'

.

"If the student refused and I felt threatened, I wouldcall security," he said.

Professional standardsTechnology teacher Paul Nicholson related an inci-

dent of warning a student of probation twice for play-

ing video games in class. When he asked the student to

sign probation a third time, the student broke down in

tears.

"He took me totally by surprise," said Nicholson."I didn't want to make the guy's situation any rougherby putting him on probation. But I ended up feeling

stupid because it was the third time I caught him doing

Nicholson said he thought he made a mistake bybacking do>vn after giving the student the warnings,something he said probably won't happen again.

"The next time it happens, I'm not going to backdown on a probation. I don't care if he signs it with apen or his tears," he said.

The teachers agreed one of the best ways to diffuse

an explosive situation is not to act on impulse. Mitchellrecommended using a delay technique of talking withthe student later on. The teachers said the next dayeverything has cooled off and looks more sensible.

One teacher disagreed with the suggestion. ' 'Therehas to be a better way to deal with it than delay. I don'tthink it can be that cut and dried," he said. "Some-times there is a student who is so upset that a person is

going to stay up all night and wonder what is going to

happen."

Cooler heads prevailAnd how do teachers react when students break

down in tears?' 'It makes me feel I am the cause of it,

'

' said Nichol-son, "that I'm being unfair, too hard, too unfeeling,whatever. I go the other way and become putty."The teachers said when they are upset about a stu-

dent or a class, they will seek out someone to talk to, aconfidant.

Mitchell said teachers often give students a doublemessage.

On one hand we say we want them to take responsi-bility for their own learning, but on the other hand wedefine the problems and solutions," she said. "Thereare no pat answers because eveiy situation is so diffe-

rent.

"And I think as long as we've tried to use some otthese alternatives, we can't take responsibility for theconsequences if a student breaks down."

Government sponsored program cannedby Martin Powell

By the end of June, the Katima-vik program in Canada will be but

a memory to participants, organiz-

ers, and community sponsors.

As early as the middle ofMarch, the Humber Arboretumwill say goodbye to four of the

program's volunteers.

Katimavik was a federally-

funded volunteer work programfor people between the ages of 17

and 21. Participants worked in

three different communities for

periods of three months each, one

of which had to be French-speaking.

Upon completion of the nine-

month term, each participant re-

ceived a $1000 honorarium.

$1,000 honorarium

Art Cole, Humber College's

Applied and Creative Arts chair-

man and director of theArboretum, is the work sponsor.

He applied for Katimavik volun-

teers three years ago and they have

been working at the Arboretumever since.

Participants have woiiced on the

construction of the demonstration

gardens, located at Humber Col-

lege Blvd. and Hwy. 27.

Other work activities included

carpentry, painting, labelling and

planting of trees and flowers, in-

stallation of lockstone, mainte-

nance of park land, and land-

scaping.

Katimavikers anasset

Participants report to JohnKing, construction supervisor of

the Arboretum, who said the

"Katimavikers" were an asset to

the operation. Depending on their

interest and aptitude, the partici-

pants were given more and moreresponsibility.

"They are definitely going to

be missed," King said.

"Participants come into the

program to explore possible future

career choices. I feel most of themhave a real focus after completing

the program."Connie Dejong, 19, a partici-

pant from Chesterville, Ont., said

she did not learn many tangible

skills. She said other participants

did learn skills which they can

apply to their work experience.

Truly anexperience

However, Dejong said she did

learn how to take charge, how to

relate with people, and be moreoutgoing.

"Katimavik is truly an experi-

ence. People who go through the

program learn more about them-

selves and grow through the ex-

perience," she said.

Edmontonian Chris William-

son, 18, another member of the

group, said he learned how to

operate a chain saw and other va-

rious tools. He said he too is nowmore confident.

Work sometimesrepetitive

However, Lori Ovestrud, 18, of

Victoria, B.C., said the worksometimes gets repetitive andmundane. She said there is not a

lot to do at the Arboretum duringthe winter.

Aside from work skills, region-

al CO—ordinator Pauline Lacroix

said participants learn to relate to

people by learning to live with a

large group for nine months.

When the participants leave,

they are usually more outgoing,

their interest level is higher, and

they have a better understanding

of people from different social and

economic backgrounds, said Lac-

roix.

The participants at the

Arboretum are on their third and

last rotation. Previously, they

worked at St. Jean, Que., and

McBride, B.C.

tion but lost first place by one

point.

One of the competitors, Tho-

mas Chan, did not think Humbershould have lost out. His criticism

was the winning print wasn't

appropriate for the category and

that a 20-point spread between the

highest and lowest marks for the

print was too large.

Hoferichter said the judging

procedure was a very standard

practice with nothing out of the

ordinary.

In the case where all of the

judges do not agree that the top

print from the main competition is

the best overall, a re-judging of

the top five or six is done in pri-

vate. The original marks are tos-

sed out and new points are

assigned.

T^at is where the best Humberprint and its photographer,Edmund Leung, lost out.

The competition includedworks from Ontario communitycolleges as well as York Universi-

ty and Ryerson. Despite losing

first place, Humber did well re-

ceiving two awards of excellence

(second place) and 12 awards of

merit (third place).

Overall, Humber had morephotographs accepted into the

competition than any other institu-

tion. A print must first be accepted

before it can be judged.

Humber competed in bothCommercial/Industrial and Wed-ding/Portrait categories. They re-

ceived best marks in Commercial/

Industrial.

Hoferichter took the loss philo-

sophically. He said five "well-

qualified" judges made the deci-

sions and it's understandable

those who lost would be upset.

Winning Humber prints will be

on display in the concourse Apr.

22-23.

entertaiiiiTieiitCouldn't afford another semester

Dropping out a triumph for Emmettby Julie Plancke

Dropping out of college mightbe a bad idea... but not forTriumph's Rik Emmett.Emmett couldn't afford to fin-

ish his first year in Humber'smusic program so he had to do it

on his own."I went for one semester and

then quit, only because I wasbroke and couldn't afford thesecond semester. I had to go outand work," he said.

But it doesn't mean he consid-ers Humber's program a waste oftime. "I think they make a prettygood effort in the program to showthe kids different aspects of thebusiness," said Emmett.

Things sure have changed forthe man who heads one of Cana-da' s most successful rock bands.Triumph was originally an idea

drummer/vocalist Gil Moore andbassist Mike Lcvine had one sum-mer 1 1 years ago, when Emmettwas gigging with a local bar band.

' 'They were looking for a guitarplayer and offered me the job in

September of '75," recallsEmmett. "Gil and Mike came to

the Hollywood Tavern, saw mewith Act III and asked me to playwith them. I refused until theythrew a cheque in front of me for$1000. I had never seen a bandwith that much money at one timebefore."

Money isn't a problem forTriumph now either. A newalbum, recorded in Los Angeleswith veteran hard rock producerRon Nevison is due out in June.

Big changeson new album

"There are sonie pretty bigchanges on this album regardingproduction this time around," hesaid.

It's their first album not to bemade in Toronto, and also the first

to include cover material. And ofcourse, a new album meansanother Triumphant tour.

"We'd like to be out touring

again for this fall," said Emmett.

Pub previewby James Jackson

March break is over, assign-

ments are beginning to pile upagain, but everyone still has a bit

of party spirit left in them right?

Right!

On Thursday March 20, CAPSis presenting The Box.

For those of you who don'tknow of this band because youhave been living under a rock or

something for the past year, TheBox is a six-piece pop band fromQuebec who currently have twoalbums out on the Alert Recordlabel.

Their latest single L'AffaireEhimoutier (Say To Me) is doingextremely well on the charts be-

cause of the considerable amountof airplay on both radio and TV(video programs).

Ticket prices have not yet beenset, but will probably be between$5 and $7, according to GlennZembal, SAC entertainmentdirector.

Also be on the lookout for TheRelics appearing March 27, fol-

lowed by a number of 'themepubs' throughout the rest of the

month including a D.J. Pub, a

Beach Party, and a Rally pub.

"I like to pertbrm and I really en-

joy that communion with the peo-ple. But generally it's very tiring,

very boring and very repetitive.

The price that you pay is separa-

tion from your family and friends.

"I don't do any partying or anyof that stuff," he said, referring to

popular misconceptions about the

rock star image and those who try

to live up to it.

"I certainly haven't had to bite

the head off a bat or drink blood. I

didn't have to do anything too out-

rageous to get success.

Every circusneeds a clown

"I think the whole rock star im-

age is kind of funny. There are

some people that want to live the

way rock stars are believed to live.

They don't strike me as the kind of

person I want to associate with,"

said Emmett.In fact, his life is considerably

more sedate than that of David LeeRoth, of whom Emmett says,

"Every circus has got to have its

clown."

Emmett is, by his own admis-sion, "a fairiy boring, middle-class kind of guy.

"I like to be fulfilled by mywork, but that's not necessarilyeverything I want."

Eight months ago Emmett'swife gave birth to twin girls,

Ashley and Cassandra. They also

have a four-year-old daughter.Shannon.

When asked if he'd like to havea son, Emmett laughed, "I don'tthink my wife is up to it againyet," then added, "I wouldn'tmind having a son to carry on thefamily name."

But, for now, Emmett only hashopes for his daughters.

"I hope they can be happy andfulfilled and that they can havecomfortable lives. I hope they'll

be liberated," he said. "We'vebeen very fortunate that we ha-ven't lived through a depression ora war, I hope my kids have the

same quality of life."

Emmett's quality of life hasbeen pretty good so far. He enjoysplaying snooker, watching televi-

sion (especially sports), playing

squash, working out and enter-

taining friends at his home in Mis-sissauga. He also writes columnsfor Guitar Player and Music Ex-press magazines.

Rik EmmettFinally, Emmett talked about

bands and has some advice for

those that haven't made their wayout of the basement yet.

"My lucky break was the daymy grandfather gave me aguitar," said Emmett. "It's notjust a case of being a good musi-cian. It certainly doesn't hurt if

you're good looking and you cansing as well."

Emmett said success is not onlya matter of what orwho you know

but both.

"I think it's a combination ofboth. If what you know impresseswho you know, then you're doinggood," he said.

Before Emmett joinedTriumph, he said he was never outof work because he could playguitar, sing and write music. Hesaid that bands today must have avery commercial outlook to suc-

ceed because of the industry.

Triumph has been good toEmmett, but he has other plans

too.

"I'm interested in filmscores," Emmett said. He addedthat he has his sights on designingguitars and some solo work. But,does this mean Emmett is plan-

ning to leave Triumph? How longwill he stay with the band?"As long as they'll have me,"

he said. "I think that a rock bandcan be a continuing or ongoingband even if you leave the band to

do other things for awhile."

OPENS FRIDAY^ MARCH 21^AT A THEATRE NEAR YOU

by Rick Raymond

A time of peace, love, and con-

fusion is what the '60s were

according to the play Kennedy's

Children.

The entire play takes place in a

bar on St. Valentine's Day in

1974. The set is very impressive

with old stools, ancient cash regis-

ter, and a dilapidated jukebox.

As the actors enter the bar they

all reveal what has happened to

their characters within the last ten

years starting with Kennedy's

death.

Joel Greenberg, director of the

play, said the play should be suc-

cessful because the '60s are com-

ing back.

"The actors had to research

their characters in order to get into

the part," said Greenberg.

The six characters all fit at least

one stereotype of the era. Wanda,

is played by Anne Ritchie, Barten-

der, by Rothaford Gray, Sparger,

by Andrew Colpitts, Rona, by

Judy Boros, and Carla, by Arlene

Vandersloot.

These characters each had their

own views. There was the low

class paranoid actor who would

take any role he could get and by

the looks he hadn't had one in a

while.

There was the John F. Kennedyworshipper whose dreams and

aspirations died when Lee Harvey

Oswald pulled the trigger.

The Hippie also plays a part.

Her focus in life faded when the

'60s ended. She couldn't change

the world anymore.

A Vietnam Veteran played a

strong role as well. He revealed

his life through letters to his

mother and his God.

B8t of lost droams— a cast of six reveal how their lives

have changed in the 10 years that have past since the assassination of

President John F. Kennedy.

A Marilyn Monroe clone lived

and died the sarne way as her idol.

The acting and focus was tight.

Concentration was intense as none

of the characters seemed to break.

A large amount of the play's

symbolism was vented through

the bartender character. He never

spoke an audible word, but he got

his meaning across.

One key symbol was exhibited

through excellent casting and

again it was the bartender. Being

black, he stood for everything

Kennedy was trying to change.

Gray played the role effectively by

keeping his eyes downcast and

just serving the customers.

The music fit perfectly as well.

You heard everything from Jimi

Hendrix to Neil Young. Themusic was a little distracting

though because of its quality. Youfound yourself at times listening to

the music more than the actors.

The play was received poorly

by the audience and all of thejokes

and the character's portrayal of

events seemed to have slipped by

the crowd.

Spoons not just trendy I §!• ksby Tim Kraan

Contrary to the typical image of the musicianas partyer, Spoons singer/guitarist Gord Deppesticks to his own, unlikely image: a bookworm.So at break time during The Spoons concert in

CAPS four weeks ago, Deppe plopped himselfon a couch in a comer of the Quiet Lounge a;id

dove into his current novel.

"It's the most bizarre thing that will affect

your life," he says of the book, and his eyeswiden as he tells the tale of *'a tribe of womenwith five-inch-long clitorises."

The book is "sexual and weird," Deppe says.

It's called The Infernal Desire Machines Of Dr.

Hoffmann by Angela Carter, one of Deppe 's

favorite authors. Her "strange erotic" fantasies

are guaranteed to "blow your mind away," hesays.

The 26-year-old frontman for the Burlingtonband is no stranger to books. He has a BA in

psychology from McMaster University in

Hamilton, so it's not surprising to find him fill-

ing his mind with ideas rather than altering it

with chemicals.'

'Ugh,

" he says as he sours his face."A lot ofthe old dinosaur bands still believe in that stuff.

That's the old rock 'n' roll lie."

The new rock 'n' rollers keep up with stocksand bonds, and Deppe talks about demographicsand how to "understand the market."

You can ' t go up there with big fuzzy hairdosand glittery clothes," he says, but admits hedressed up a bit for Humber. Deppe changedoutfits before the second half of the show.The Spoons played Humber as part of a two-

week warmup before beginning work on a newLP.

With two new members, the band is ready to

go, Deppe says, and if things are on schedule,they are working on the album right now.

Last month's show was expected to fill CAPS,but student turnout did not fulfil those expecta-tions.

Many complained the $ 1 ticket price was toohigh, although CAPS tried to lure students with a

discount: wear sunglasses, bring a spoon, andpay only $8. Some tables were filled with shadedspoon carriers.

After a two-year lapse between albums, De-ppe says the band has a fresh outlook on life.

He says the songwriting has "really changed.If we had put out a record a year ago, it wouldhave been too much like the stuff we were doingbefore."

While Deppe hopes for bigger and better timesfor The Spoons in the future, he couldn't resist

reminiscing. One of their career highlights wasthe 1982 tour with Culture Club and OrchestralManoeuvres in the Dark.

During that tour, The Spoons were surprisedsome Americans had never heard of them."They didn't believe we Were from Canada,"Deppe says proudly. "They thought we wereanother English band

.

"

Deppe is aware of Canadians' difficulty in

reaching stardom south of the border.

"When you think about it, when was the last

time there was a (Canadian) band that was suc-cessful in the States for a long period of time?"he says.

. Deppe partly blames the media in this coun-try. "It's not like the American (media). Theyreally support their own bands. They believe in

them, push them."Deppe advises aspiring young musicians that,

"no matter how slim the chance looks, jump intoit. Don't ever feel like you should hold back."Deppe was bom in Vancouver, but raised near

Hamburg, Germany. He started playing guitarwhen he was "about 11."

"I had this cheap $12 guitar my Dad got at apawn shop. My brother got a pair of binocularsand I got a guitar and I was really pissed off."

His partner, bass player Sandy Home, has aDutch background. "Her real name is SandyVan Home," Deppe candidly admits. She is

known publicly as Sandy Home.Deppe is optimistic the new album will be out

by May. He says he has been "writing like

crazy" and has more than enough material forthe record, tentatively titled Radio Heaven.

Hockey team championship §!• undby John Barta

Look out Kamloops, here comethe Humber Hawks! And if they

show as little mercy in B.C. as

they did in Ontario, the rest of the

teams could be in for a longtournament.

Humber earned the chance to

travel to Kamloops, B.C. andcompete in the CCAA hockeychampionships after trouncingGeorgian College in three-straight

games in the provincial flnals.

The Grizzlies of Barrie, whohanded the Humber its worst de-

feat of the season, 8-3 , only a cou-ple of weeks earlier, were nomatch for the soaring Hawkmachine in the finals. Georgiandropped three games by scores of8-1,5-2, and 7-3.

The Hawk players weren't sur-

prised they won all their playoff

games, and are confident of astrong showing at the national

championships this Thursday.

Defenceman Dave Leuschnersaid the team was happy to earn

the chance to compete out west,

but there was really no doubt ab-

out who should go.

'it's good that it's (the Ontariochampionship) finally over,"Leuschner said. "We knew that

we were a better team."After Humber easily disposed

of St. Clair in two-straight games.

8-4 at home and 8-3 in Windsor,they squared off against the Griz-zlies on March I.

Playing in front of the largest

crowd of the year at WestwoodArenas, the contest was as one-sided as a championship roundgame could be, with Humber roll-

ing to an easy 8-1 trouncing.

Georgian jumped out to a 1-0

lead in the second period, but fromthen on it was all Humber as theyscored three times in the secondand five in the third to blow Geor-gian out of the building.

The second game of the series

featured a little more defence onthe part of the Grizzlies, but that

was not enough as the Hawkscoasted to a 5-2 victory in Barrie.

March 7 was the showdown for

the championship. Georgianneeded a win to stay alive, andHumberneeded a win to clinch atrip to Kamloops.

Well, the latter prevailed asHumber took the third game by ascore of 7-3.

It was important to the team that

they win the third game and sweepGeorgian, not only avoid injuries,

but also to give them momentumheading into the nationals.

"It was what everyone wasworking for all year," Leuschnersaid, "after we won the season,we were happy but not satisfied."

Heyworth added that sweepingin Ontario would be "a big confi-

dence builder for B.C."After the Hawks blasted the

Grizzlies at Westwood Arenas,with the help of a very balancedattack and an unforgiving de-

fence, they went into Barrie andtook the play to Georgian.

Once again, as it has been for

the majority of the second half of

the season, the Black line did mostof the damage in the second game,scoring three of Humber's five

markers.

That line, consisting of centre

Wayne Stott and wingers Dan Pi-

geon and Ken Jensen, went backto work in the finale with Jensenpicking up the hat-trick in leading

the Hawks in their comeback.

Don 'tdo that!—Humber's Mary Lahey tries to stop Seneca's

Claudette Douglas in volleyball action March 7 in Oshawa.

Volleyball teamsth lose medals

**rm very proud of the girls,"

he said. "They represented Tier II

well and they represented Humberwell."

Bowman pointed out that

depth, or in Humber' s case lack

of, hurt the squad at the cham-

pionships. The veteran mentor

saw his already thin roster of eight

players decreased further with the

loss of starter Angie Anslow early

in the tournament. Anslowstretched ligaments in her left ank-

le in the dpening game of num-ber's first match against Seneca.

Meanwhile, Humber's varsity

men's team missed the playoff

rounds at the OCAA cham-pionships after losing both of its

preliminary matches. The Hawks,

a Tier II team as well in 198y86,

lost 3-0 (9-15, 0-15, 12-15) to the

Centennial Colts before falling

victim to Sheridan 3-1 (7-15, 15-

13, 13-15,8-15).

Men's coach Don Morton wassomewhat disappointed with his

team's showing.

"I didn't think we played as

well as we have this year," said

Morton. "But, we were probably

the most inexperienced teamhere."

Humber, a first-year team, had

qualified for the championships

with four victories in five matches

at the men's pre-final the previous

weekend at Mohawk College in

Hamilton.

Humber's women's team had

advanced to the provincial finals

with a 6-1 record at a similiar

event Feb. 22-23 at Kingston's St.

Lawrence College.

by Mike Anderson

All good things must come to an

end.

Unfortunately for Humber'svarsity volleyball teams, they are

not exceptions to this rule. Theseason ended for both the men's

and women's teams at the OCAAchampionships Mar. 7-8 at

Durham College in Oshawa.

The women's team, an OCAATier II league competitor this

- year, was grouped with two Tier I

teams, the Seneca Braves and

Sheridan Bruins, in the prelimin-

ary rounds of the tournament held

on Mar. 7.

In those matchups, the Hawksdefeated Seneca 3-2 (15-6, 7-15,

15-6, 5-15, 15-10) before drop-

ping a 3-0 decision (6-15, 7-15,

13-15) to the Bruins.

With the 1-1 record, Humberqualified for the semi-finals Mar.

8 as the second-place team in the

three-team pool.

The Hawks, after staking a 2-0

lead, dropped their semi-final

matchup 3-2 (15-4, 16-14, 3-15,

6-15, 2-15) to the Centennial

Colts, the first-place team in the

other three-team grouping and

also a Tier I team.

With the loss, Humber was re-

legated to the bronze-medal match

with Sheridan. The Bruins

claimed third-place honors with a

3-0 win (15-2, 15-11, 15-10).

Considering his team's status as

a Tier II operation, coach Jack

Bowman was very pleased with its

performance at the provincial

championships.

Second year in a rowHawks settle for bronze

by Dominic Corona

The Hawks' basketball squad had to settle

for a bronze medal in the OCAA cham-pionships March 7-8 at Sheridan College in

Oakville.

They lost a heartbreaker in the first gameagainst Fanshawe Falcons, 71-70, but re-

bounded to claim the bronze by defeating

Centennial, 59-57.

The Sheridan Bruins will attempt to defend

their national crown as they head for Van-

couver for the CCAA championships.

The Bruins defeated Centennial, 69-64,

and dien needed overtime to beat the spirited

group from Fanshawe, 80-76.,

The Hawks had a slow start in the gameagainst the Falcons and found themselves be-

hmd most of the night.

The Falcons seenied less anxious and man-aged to build an eariy 21-8 lead before Rex-

dale's boys had a chance to mount any type of

offence.

With 10 minutes to play in the first half, the

Hawks started to chip away at the Falcons'

lead.

With eight minutes to go Humber's 5-foot-

10 forward and team captain Wayne Ambrosewent to work, scoring two buckets narrowing

Fanshawe's lead to 10, 25-15.

The Hawks kept pressing their opponent

and with 50 seconds to play in the first stanza.

Hawks' tournament MVP Maurice Arm-strong sank consecutive 15-footers to cut the

deficit to 36-34. TheHawks would eventual-

ly go in at intermission trailing 37-34.

Unlike the first half, Humber started quick-

ly in the second frame.

With 1 3 minutes remaining in the game the

maroon and gold forged to the lead tiianks to

some good shooting from George McNeil. At

this stage with Humber holding a 51-46 lead

things looked good for a shot at the defending

champions

But give the Falcons and their coach GlenJohnston credit for not quitting. He called

numerous key timeouts and enabled his club

to stay close.

**We tried to slow down their tempo and

not make them run their run and gun off-

ence," said Johnston. "Their players are fas-

ter than ours and I figured if we could slow

ck>wn the game's tempo or flow, we could* 99

Win.

The teams remained close for the rest of thegame, neither team building more than a

three-point lead. At times in the middle of thesecond half it seemed as if the Hawks wereteasing the Falcons. They would build a lead

and Fanshawe would come right back to

nakt it a one-point game.This went on unS Fanshawe's 6-foot-4

centre Emilio Rocca hit on a 10-foot fade

away jumper to give Fanshawe a 61-60 lead

with six-minutes remaining.

"I'm a good outside shooter so I just let it

go and it fell for me," said Rocca. ''We cameinto the game wanting to stop them fromrunning on us."

The Hawks once again built a 64-61 lead

on a five-footer by /^mstrong with 4:30 to

play.

With 18 seconds left the Falcons had one

more chance to pull out a victory. Theybrought the ball up court and fed it inside to

Gary Benjaminsen but he was fouled. Ben-

jaminsen managed to make both ends of his

freeduows to give the Falcons a 71-70 lead.

The Hawks had one final crack to win the

game but Henry Frazer missed at the buzzer.

This was the second consecutive year^

Humber was eliminatd in the semi-finals after

sporting the second best regular season re-

cord.

Last season the maroon and gold wereousted by Mohawk Mountaineers, 86-83.

Excellent season diminished by small crowdsby Gregg McLachlan

"Dismal" is how several Hum-ber Hawk hockey players de-

scribed attendance at home gamesthis season.

Defenceman Dave Leuschner

said very few Humber students

showed up at Westwood Arenas to

support the team.

"I'd say we had 20 regulars

who showed up," he said. "Mostof the fans who showed up werefriends or relatives of theplayers."

Jill Riley, Number's sports in-

formation officer, said the Hawksaveraged approximately 150 fans

at home games during the regular

season.

Centre Doug McEwen believes

the team's performance this past

season should have encouragedfan support.

"We're a first-place team, but

we were one of the worst for

attendance," McEwen said.

Forward Steve Turner summedup the attendance with one word:

"Disappointing."

However, Athletic Director Pe-

ter Maybury , was not surprised by

the small crowds at Hawk games.

"Seeing the Hawks play is just

one of a thousand things to do in

Toronto," Maybury said. "Wedid reasonably well; we could

have done better."

Steve Turner

Following a few games this

year, Maybury said the team tried

to attract fans by holding socials in

the Seventh Semester lounge, but

there were 200 people at the so-

cials who never went to the game.And, said Maybury, Humber is

not alone when it comes to small

crowds at varsity sports.

"It's a college-wide problem.

Bring (students) in at 9 a.m., and

send them home at 5 p.m.," said

Maybury, describing the college

attitude.

He explained that universities

are more community oriented than

colleges; therefore, they strongly

support their teams.

Furthermore, home gamesagainst weaker teams like Con-

estoga and Canadore encouraged

very little fan support, according

to Maybury."They take it for granted the

Hawks will win," he said.

Jeff Young, a three-year veter-

an of the Hawks, said attendance

has always been poor, but this past

season it was slightly better due lo

the team's success.

Young, along with several

other players, noted GeorgianCollege as an exception when it

comes to small crowds at hockeygames.Maybury said Georgian reg-

ularly has 500 fans at their homegames, and blueliner Bill Speed

admitted playing there can be in-

timidating.

"It's hard playing up at Geor-

gian with all their fans yelling,"

said Speed, adding it would have

been great to see Westwood pack-

ed with Humber fans.

Georgian fans also show sup-

port for their Grizzlies on road

games. Busloads of them easily

outnumbered the Humber suppor-

ters on Jan. 1 7 at Westwood, a fact

which the Hawks don't find very

encouraging.

The players were optimistic that

the crowds would increase as the

playoffs progress. Past playoff

series' against Seneca haveattracted over 500 fans, according

to Maybury.

Her time of 37.15 in giant sla-

lom gave her the victory by 85one-hundredths of a second over

Annette McClelland of Sheridan.

Langegger finished a full twoseconds ahead of McClelland in

the slalom, thus giving her the

double victory.

For her tremendous efforts,

Langegger was honored as the

OCAA's Athlete of the Week. Shewas both surprised arid shockedwith her times.

"There was a lot of competi-tion," she said. "I had raced with

a few of the girls before, one whohad raced with skiers from the

National team."Langegger revealed that she de-

dicated her victories to her high

school ski coach who had died re-

cently.

"She was a great lady who wasvery helpful," she said. "At the

top of the hill, I got angry andraced for her."

Tom Browne

BusinessAdministration stu-

dent Karen Wemyss finished third

in both the giant slalom and slalomevent posting times of 38.53 and45.60 respectively.

Bob Bamett, a first-year jour-

nalism student, fmished fourth in

two raced. His time of 39.72 wasjust over two seconds off the win-ner' s pace. Rob Mazurkewich,representing Thunder Bay's Con-federation College, won the sla-

lom race in a time of 37.66.

Only fractions of a second sepa-

rated the top-four fmishers in the

giant slalom. Sheridan's JohnWharin won the race with a timeof 35.07 seconds.

Although Barnett finishedfourth, his time was not far off thewinner's mark.

"I could have done a little bet-

ter than I did,'

' he said. "A ski fell

off on one of my runs, but 1 just

didn't ski as well as the other

guys."

Coach Tom Browne was happywith number's overall results.

"I'm very pleased," he said.

"We have no real stars on ourteam; it's the overall strength ofthe team that is great."

Browne was not surprised with

the strength of the men's teamfrom Thunder Bay.

"Confederation didn't go to all

the meets because of the travel

costs,'

' he said, ' 'but they came to

the finals prepared to win." ^

Those experienced in callingfor the

clean, true taste ofBlue ore well aware

ofthe value ofdoing so in a big way.

Perhaps this accountsfor the enormousincrease in the sales ofalpine horns.

Once used almost exclusively in

oldJulie Andrews movies and in com-mercialsfor cheese, the alpine horn is

showing up infavourite watering holes

across the country.

"Alpine horns are the new growth

industry." Said one dealer "Equally

impressive..." he went on to add "are

the sales ofknee socks, lederhosen andTyrolean hats." Itwould appear, at least

forthe moment, thathornfever is uponus. Which means, that it is indeed, time

to blowfor a Blue: /

(/i/lm^

../' ',

You may not be the song that

makes the whole world sing, but hey,

when it comes to stringing together

a Doh, a Re and the ever popular Mi,

you're no Sonny Bono either

Andwhat betterway to share your

gift than by tootingfor a Lahatt's Blue.

All that's required is an empty bottle

ofBlue and lungs like Luciano Pavarotti.

Imagine the feeling, when sur-

rounded by friends, you raise a Blue

bottle within a millimetre ofyour lips

and toot out afavourite little melody by

Iron Maiden orperhaps one ofthegreat

standards by the likes ofthe Big Bopper

Forthose ofyou with more classical

leanings, youmay want to take a shot

at Beethoven's 4th orwas it his 5th?

What the heck. Who's counting

Give up Show Biz?

Never

Long an institution at countryfairs

and ho-downs, hog calling techniques

havemade theirwayfarbeyond the con-

cession roads and split railfences of

ourpastoralcommunities. In countless

bars across the country, the once dis-

tinctive strains of"Sue-eeeeeeeeeeeee"

have been replaced by the infinitely

more lyrical "Blue-eeeeeeeeeeeeeee."

As popular as this technique is

becoming, you would be ill advised to

employ it at anyfunction to which you

are required to wear black tie onn the

presence ofanyone whois more than 20 lbs

overweight.

One in a series of highly informative presentations aimed at helping you to

better understand the diverse means in which it is possible to obtain one or

MORE BOTTLES OF BLUE, CANADAS MOST POPULAR BEER. FOR THAT CLEAN, TRUE TASTE.
