Constitution

SAC to institute

By NANCY GILES staff writer

After five months of arguing and attempted compromises, the consti- tution committee has submitted a revised constitution to the SAC for their approval. Ken Nadalin, a member of the

constitution committee, said the present constitution is "out of date and vague" and has left the SAC with "no guidelines in some areas." One of the most significant

amendments under consideration is the lowering of the average required in order to run for an SAC executive position to a C.

In the past, candidates have been required to have a B average before nomination, and to maintain a C average while in office.

Nadalin says this will "open the field up to more students." The committee has also proposed

that "more power be given to the SAC" by requiring a two-thirds majority of the SAC in order to dismiss an executive, rather than the present two-thirds majority of the entire student body. The revised constitution was

presented to the SAC and the class representatives on March 29. They have 14 days to < study the amendments before a final vote is taken on April 12.

The constuction of Hydro’s Darling- ton generating station is well under way. Most people have probably read about the protests groups such as Greenpeace made to the plant, but how much do most really know about it?

Suzanne Stickley works at the information centre on the Darlington site. In this building there is a model of the proposed plant, posters explaining nuclear power and numer- ous pamphlets. During the last month Stickley has given tours to 14 people. Hydro wants to make area residents

aware of the plant and it’s implica- tions. Unfortunately though, it seems the majority of people in this area are not concerned enough to go and find out about the plant.

Has 1984 hit us six years early, has

We owe it to ourselves and to future generations to learn about something as significant as a nuclear power plant.

If we continue to sit back and let things happen, we will soon lose .any power of democracy that we ever had.

Darlington is only one example, there is also City and Regional council meetings. It is rare to go into an Oshawa City council meeting and find it full of concerned citizens, for the basic reason that citizens are not concerned. Apathy is spreading throughout the

region, it must be stopped before it is too late.

by

JOE

BANKS

something about a morning meal called breakfast when I was a kid, but this is only a vague memory. Metiunks it’s about time that

somebody somewhere paid a tribute in a personal column about grand- mothers. Now, don’t worry, I’m not going to go on and on about how, grandmother lights up roy life and makes things seem better than they ’, actually are, (though this is cer- tainly true). I’ll just point out a few things about grandmothers that make them so special.

The grandmother syndrome springs up as a kid. Ah, childhood days.

Remember mom and dad taking you to grandma’s? Remember the .sweet smelling kitchen where grandma always promised to make something really special later on before bedtime? And about the times you got to spend a couple of weeks with grandma and grandpa without the parents around to keep you from getting spoiled...pure heaven.

Well, as far as I’m concerned, things haven’t changed. I still get spoiled as hell when my nanny comes and almost all the time she comes down from Quebec, I find myself waiting . apprehensively for her to arrive. For example, my grandmother is visiting at the time this column is being written and I find myself gaining weight by the day. I find my

And bag lunches! Never had I seen sandwiches the way my grandmother makes them. You’d swear she spent three days making cheese-whiz sandwiches with a sprig of parsley and the crusts trimmed off.

Surprises abound at the bottom of the bag. Dill pickles _ and hunks of Gouda cheese wrapped in Saran Wrap sitting beside a waxed paper covered chunk of homemade choco- late or vanilla fudge! A far cry from balogna and mustard sandwiches with a dry hunk of a Sarah-Lee whatever-it-is that I usually prepare for myself.

It’s not only food. I’m finding five-dollar bills stuffed into my coat pockets. My room has no bitten-off fingernails lying on the floor anymore, my socks no longer have holes in them and I have three pairs of clean underwear everyday!

Yes, indeed, things do not change much. Grandma is still on the ball and still spoiling the hell out of her grandkids. And why not? Where else do you learn how to

spoil your future grandkids? You have to find out somewhere.

No frills : common cents! living on social assistance� have no protection against inflationary in-

creases.

Last week Loblaws and Dominion stores across Ontario introduced a cost saving "no frills" program aimed at lowering grocery bills. The program has come at a time when too many Canadian consumers have become the helpless victims of biting inilatibn and rising, food costs. The beauty of the program is that

by eliminating packaging frills and expensive advertising, consumers can save from 10% to 40% of the regular cost of nationally advertised and house brands. One store manager of loblaws,

Douglas Clarke at the Oshawa Centre, favors the program and questions how many people realize they are paying and extra 25 cents just for the fancy box containing laundry detergent. Many do realize and view these

extra costs as unpractical. But those on fixed incomes such as pensioners, the disabled, students and those

While some people will reject ^no name" products, they are the affluent minority who can afford to pay for fancy packaging and national brands. But as long as the quality doesn’t suffer the majority are ready to save a little money at the cash register.

Loblaws and Dominion stores are currently offering only a limited number of "no name" products,(16 at Loblaws and 27 at Dominion), but hope to offer additional items if the program is a success.

Both chains should be applauded for this cost saving alternative. Let’s hope they are successful so that even more savings will become available at a time when little other economic relief is in sight.

BARB WILSON

Much ado about nothing In City Council on Mon. March 20,

Aid. Doug Wilson entered a motion that a plebiscite be held during the November municipal elections to determine whether public funds should be used in the construction of the Camp X museum.

Wilson believes that the $3 million which the government may spend on the project would be better spent on job creation.

However, Aid. Alan Dewar, the chief proponent of the project has stated to council, "Nothing is being asked of this city, regardless of the fate of the project."

Fortunately, the motion was last in a recorded vote of eight to four. But, the question remains: Why is

Aid. Wilson so keen to see tax dollars spent on a plebiscite concerning something which is considered to be u non-municipal, or

private project? From the beginning of the Camp

X issue, Dewar has assured council that Oshawa would not be asked to contribute money to the construction of the museum.

It is an non-issue, as far as muncipal funding goes, but Wilson seems bound and determined to make an issue out of it, especially during the upcoming election.

Could it be that he is searching for an election platform, and is attempting to create one out of nothing, to the extent of using municipal funds to do it?

In any event, Aid. Wilson would be well advised to seek real issues to explore, rather than suggesting that tax money be wasted on his pet peeves. ^

Peter Souch is a first-year general business student who has been rac- ing the regional circuit for the past three years in the Formula Ford and production car classes. Souch won his first race at the

Silver Jubilee Sprints in Shannonville last June in a Formula Ford racer.

"It’s the only thing I want to do," Souch says.

The 20-year-old Eastdale CVI and Mosport School of -Racing grad says that he has been a racing fan for 10 years, and the thrill of racing has not reached its peak in his life yet. Souch is racing an Opel GT, which

runs against sport cars of the 1700-2000 cc class such as MGB’s, Alfas, and Jensons.

After graduation, Souch wants to turn professional and race with the McClaren team.

To get that far, Souch has to gain his International Licence by racing 12 times successfully, not necessarily winning, but finishing each race. Then comes the Can-Am series

"If a woman thinks her role is to serve the changing needs of a man, ’then she will always be losing," says Chamie Guettel, who has put her own experi- ences into a one-woman cabaret show in Toronto. "The themes are pret-

ty much around changes between men and wor men in the working world," she said in an interview after a recent performance at Toronto’s Harbourfront.

Guettel, 33, emigrated

to Canada in 1965 from Illinois, and works as a lounge singer when not performing her cabaret show.

In her performance, she accompanies herself on pifano and guitar, while singing about love, the breaking of relation- ships, work, unemploy- ment, and childhood�all from the female point of view.

Guettel compared her performance with her role as a divorced mother of an 11 year old boy, and said. "The job of a single parent is the

The show marks a [ departure from Guettel’s usual musical style.

"I had classical piano lessons when I was a child, but in 1970 I started getting into rock and country-rock," she said.

m addition to her own efforts, Guettel’s cabaret show has received con- siderable help from her director, Schuster Gindin (a woman), and various women’s organizations.

She said, "The Metro Toronto Women’s Credit Union gave me a loan for equipment, and parts of the women’s move- ment picked up on getting me booked."

Guettel has taken her show to such places as the Nervous Breakdown Coffee House, and Cafe Soho, both in Toronto. In addition, she has performed at the Univer- sity of Illinois, and the University of Ottawa.

For the next month, much of her energy will be directed towards operating a series of amateur talent nights at the Avenue Park Hotel in Toronto. She is organizing

them with Ann Laird, another entertainer, and hopes for success in that endeavor as well. "We’ve got a month

European Formula 1 grand prix series, and the World Championship.

Getting to the World Champion- ship will be a long hard climb, and Souch has some advice for those who aspire to be Canada’s A. J. Foyt. "Keeping the car pointed in the

right direction is the most important thing to remember on the track," Souch says.

"Don’t over-rev it while driving hard and fast without breaking the

car, remembering to drive as consistently as possible," Souch says

. on a more serious note. Souch claims that the danger of

racing is a myth because "on the track people are doing the same thing you are, while on the street no one really knows what the ’others are doing."

Souch says that the guys who spend thousands of dollars "souping" up their street cars should take the Mosport course and get their high performance cars on the track and make them work for them.

By BARB NIDDRIE The Durham Region

Concert Association re- cently welcomed Don Michie, department head of administrative arts at Durham College, as pre- sident for the 1978-79 term. A past vice-president

of the Association and a member for the past four years, Michie’s responsibilities will be basically that

of an overseer. Although the work load is not heavy, Michie said, "It is time-consuminer.’ *

But it is time well spent for Michie who has been interested and involved in various areas of the arts from an early age. Coming from a family background ori- ented in this direction, his creative instincts were aroused en6ugh to attempt the mastery of the trench horn and the piano. However, "al- ways of no note or merit," Michie’s pur- suits were never quite successful. While attending the

University of Manitoba where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts in

DON MICHIE

English literature, Mic- hie actively participated in the school’s drama society. His amateur theatrics included such Shakespearian plays as King Lear and Twelfth Night as well as the modem short ones Woycek and Bald Sop- rano. Although his involve-

ment in the Durham Region Concert Associa- tion does not include active participation in the concerts, Michie said it does allow the mem- bers an opportunity to appreciate the talents of top-rate musicians.

Four concerts are pre- sented each year and the Association has bil- leted such notable per- formers as Liona Boyd, Maureen Forester and the Vancouver Chamber Choir. Following their stage appearances, the artists mingle freely with the members and enjoy a cup of coffee.

The Association is a non-profit organization and receives a $1,000 annual grant from the Ontario Arts Council. The remainder of the funding, Michie said, comes from membership fees of $25 per year. This fee includes the cost of admission to all the concerts. Membership and bud-

get fluctuate, however, he said, as it is based

on a subscription drive launched at the begin- ning of each season. This year’s membership is approximately 200.

This enrolment proce- dure "keeps it small easier to manage and provides more inti- macy," the former com- munications teacher said.

or. Tunnel to Nowhere

This is the second unsolved crime The Chronicle has presented in the series of three. Last issue we saw how the Barbara Von Drejs murder still have police guessing over the case. This week, we will see how one man succeeded In tunnelling 84 feet to a bank - only to mysteriously give up in his endeavour once the tunnel was completed.

A far less tragic case, but just as unexplainable as the Von Drejs murder, is the strange tunnel which was never used leading to a bank. The attempt had been made some time between April and July of 1964, and investigators are still shaking their heads over the obvious "whys’ of the case.

Otto Prinz had not paid his monthly rent due on the house he was renting, and the owner was beginning to get restless. He felt it was time to call on Prinz and collect the money in person, since Prinz was rarely seen going into or coming out of his house. He had been paying regularly up to October but it was now July. Never had he been so late with the rent. ,

There was no answer at the door, but this did not stop the owner from entering the house. After all, Prinz had said he was only renting it for a short time, and it was the owner’s home, but the house was empty. Prinz was nowhere to be found. The owner grew impa- tient and went downstairs to see if Prinz may have been in the cellar doing some work. Indeed Prinz had. There was nothing to be found in the cellar except a few tools and a new room Prinz had installed himself. New room? The owner had given no permission to Prinz to build the room, yet there it was. He opened it immediately.

problems but added that "his resignation had nothing iu do with the SAC." When asked about the

communications around the SAC office Fidler said "there as good as you can expect," but they could be improved. "More executive meet-

ings would enhance communications,’’ said Fidler. One of. the problems is that if there is something you didn’t know, you had to find out for yourself. An important piece of

Flalx.gasted, the owner turned to look around for something to clear it with so he could enter the room, but when he did, he noticed a four- foot square cement plate behind him on the floor. Again, the owner’s curiousity overwhelmed him, and he lifted up the plate only to see a shaft which went down and curved out towards the left side of the house. He phoned the police immediately.

What they found amazed them all. The owner had indeed, not been seeing things, and indeed, a tunnel had been dug under the cellar floor. It led to the Royal Bank situated on the comer of King St. E. and Wilson Road S., which was two houses or 84 feet from the cellar. It terminated at the outside foundation of the vault room in the bank. A large room had been dug at the end of the tunnel to make room for working on the wall. It was like a scene from The Great Escape.

Tool, oxygen tanks, wrecking bars, hammers and nails were found adjacent to the room which contained all the excavated dirt. This was obviously where Prinz had been storing the soil and keeping his tools. The tunnel was expertly cribbed - almost the work of an engineer - with two by fours and long beams supporting the top of it. A sump hole had even been dug to handle the water seepeage into the tunnel. It’s dimensions measured exactly 48" wide by 26" deep, and was dug in a straight line directly to the bank.

Prinz was a man who was seldom seen in the day- time. His neighbors rarely saw him go into or come out of the house, and when they did, it was only for the occasional trip down to the bank on the comer or to the milk store. He had obtained a safety deposit box at the bank in addition to having a bank account there. In June of 1964, Prinz had withdrawn most of t}ie money from his account. After this, he was never seen again.

After weeks of intensive investigating and inter- viewing,.the police had found that on April 2, of 1964, Prinz had placed and taken delivery of an order from the Millwork Construction Company in Oshawa for 300 feet of 2 x 4’s, 13 sheets of eight foot sheathing, 50 pieces of 2 x 8 x 10’s and 11 masonite sheets. The total cost of the materials was $ 196.44.

But this was not all the money Prinz had spent building the tunnel only to get nothing in return. Over the three months it was believed he had been working on the tunnel, Prinz had spent over $3,000 out of his own pocket. This fact added to the confusion. Why, after spending all this money, did Prinz abandon his project? It was a puzzle that, even today, remains unsolved and the only relevant clues the police have is a physical description of the man, the kind of car he drove, and that a similar thing had happened in Quebec City at about the same time. They didn’t even know if Prinz was his real name or not. ’

S

Police have called the man a ’craftsman’. They say he was not an average robber, but a real professional, and a genius. But perhaps Prinz had stopped work on the tunnel for a simple reason. He may have felt there was no longer any challenge to merely caving in the bank wall and taking the money. Perhaps he thought someone knew about his tunnel, and abandoned it in a hurry. Perhaps he merely ran out of money and couldn’t continue the work remaining. Perhaps....

Mike Fidler remains active in SAC By NANCY WELSH

Mike Fidler, external vice-president of the SAC has withdrawn his resignation. "The main purpose of

my resignation was to straighten out matters with Cecile," said Fi4ler, but I also wanted to get my side of the office on an even keel. He said "a big deal has been made out of something minor." SAC president Cecile

prints in a fraction of the time it takes to tray develop. "We would even get

another processor if ne- cessary," said Manery. The greatest basis for

the complaints comes from the fact that the arts division has a excellent dark room, designed when the col- lege was built. The dental student’s dark room was built as an addition.

Manery feels it is unfair to compair the two rooms because the dark room is a major part of the courses offered in the arts division, making it more essential than the dark room is to the dental students. "We’re teaching them

to be dental assistants and dental hygienists, not radiologists," he said.

Though he disagrees with the dental stu- dent’s views, Manery does agree that they are under a great deal of pressure in their studies.

"This year there are twice as many students as ever," said Manery

The director of the health science division, Elwood Manery, feels that the students have excellent dark room fa- cilities. The dental stu- idents feel differently, and yet this difference of opinion gets no attention.

The dental hygiene students feel that they lack supplies, the dark room is too small, light seeps into the room, and the location of the room is poor. Manery dismissed all

these claims by saying, "The dental assistants and dental hygiene stu- dents have more clinical facilities per student than any other college in Ontario. Their facilities are second to none, not even the University of Toronto." Manery feels that

there is no justification on the part of the dental students in their com- plaints because they not only have a dark room to use, but also an

tournament held Friday, March 17, a team made up of Durham business students won out over its college varsity team and St. Lawrence Col- lege of Kingston.

Several invitations were sent out for the tournament, but Kings- ton was the only college to reply. A round robin tournament was set up for the teams, with each game consisting � of two 20 minute periods. The first game ended

in a 2-2 tie between the Durham varsity team and the team from Kingston. The varsity team then

On Sat. April 1, Durham College will host the 1978 inter-col- legiate bike race.

Registration will take place at the college from 10:00 to 10:30 a.m. The entrants will be

taken over the course from 10:30 to 11:00 a.m. led by a pace car belonging to the Echo Radio Club. This local C]} club will also moni- tor the entire race from this pace car which will f.tQy with the bikers during the race.

second game. The third game saw Kingston beat the business class 3-0. The final game ended

in a 3-3 deadlock between Durham’s busi- ness class and the team from St. Lawrence, after three 15 minute periods. A 15 minute over-

time was played which ended scoreless, and a prior agreement made the team with the most tournament goals the victors.

Durham’s business team ended champions, having the most total goals. On April 8, the varsity

team will travel to George Brown College in Toronto for the all Ontario Championship.

The second period was the highlight of the action filled game. Sheridan’s offence hit hard and relentlessly, but couldn’t score even though Durham was two players short. Durham’s goalie was

kept busy and warded off more than thirty shots. "They hit hard and didn’t let up," said Nancy Jackman, Dur- ham’s "shell-shocked" goalie. Durham’s attempts on

goal were wide and Sheridan’s goalie was not tested at all. The third period was

played much as the second. Excitment and tension ran high. * They out-skated and out-checked us," said Jackman. As the clock ran into

the last few minutes of the game it seemed the third period would also be scoreless. Tension mounted, and then, with less than three minutes remaining, Sheridan let loose with a slap-shot from the blue line.

The course will start on Ritson Road just north of the 7th Conces- sion and proceed north to the 8th Concession. The contestants will then travel east on this road to the townline road. From here they will make their way south to the 7th Concession, where two of the seven marshals, who are set out intermittently along the course are positioned

The bikers will then continue west along the 7th Concession to the starting line. Three laps of this
