In a hastily arranged Association meeting two resolutions regarding the Administration's actions were drafted & passed unanimously. The resolutions read as follows: "THIS ASSOCIATION VEPLORES ANV WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY REORGANIZATION OF ITS SECRETARIAL STAFF WITHOUT FACULTY CONSULTATION ANV APPROVAL." and "THIS ASSOCIATION, MINVFUL OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES WHICH THE UNIVERSITY HAS TO THE COMMUNITY, ANV OF THE VESIRtABILITY THAT THE UNIVERSITY SHOULV ~FT AN EXAMPLE TO THE vs. COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY IN ACCEPTANCE OF THE PRINCIPLES OF FREE SPEECH AND FREE ASSOCIATION, WELCOMES THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A UNION LOCAL ON CAMPUS S IT VIEWS WITH CONCERN THE PRESENT INORVINATE VELAY IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE AVMINISTRATION." At the time of the move, only secretaries in the Faculty of Science were affected & the Arts Secretaries have not received any orders towards reorganization. Dean Hart, the only official of the Administration on campus at the time, due to the a~sence of Dean Ryan, Dr. Braun and President Tamblyn, was not available for comment at press time. Regarding the general temperament of FACULTY the Faculty Association meeting, one faculty member said, "I WAS QUITE PLEASEV TO SEE THE ASSOCIATION BECOME AS MILITANT AS IT VIV OVER THIS ACTION BY THE AVMINISTRATION, IT MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW PHASE IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AVMINISTRATION S FACULTY MEMBERS, WITH THE FACULTY VEMANVING A SAY IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE UNIVERSITY. " Speaking for the Executive, AMS Council President, Peter McCormack said "AS SUCH A CHANGE WOULV VIRECTLY AF: FECT THE STUVENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY, THE AMS COUNCIL IS THEREFORE OBLIGEV TO TAKE THE SIVE OF BEST INTEREST TO THE STUVENT. AT THIS POINT, IT WOULV APPEAR THAT OUR SUPPORT LIES VEFINITELY WITH THE SECRETARIES ANV FACULTY." After several recent meetings between representatives of the Faculty Association & the Administration, the conflict has not yet been altogether resolved with the Science Secretaries still in the secretarial pool & their positions of Departmental Secretaries temporarily re-established. All negotiations over the matter have been postponed until the return of President Tamblyn in September. The ARGUS ~s publis~ed by the Alma Mater Society of Lakehead University.

Editor -H- cha.d Hannah • .J PROPOSAL BACKFIRES AMS Council, in their.meeting of July 30th, rejected the Administrations proposed plan to take over the Great Hall as a cafeteria for the 6869 session. T-he The Council decided that the Senior Lounge could be used to house the additional cafeteria facilities while the present Faculty Lounge would be Housing ~ Decembeq9[,i ~tje expected completion date for the 240 bed men's residence at Lakehead University. In this connection, Mr. David .Morgan, Lakehead University Director of Finance, announced a scheme to find suitable housing off-campus for these students until the residence complex is ready. The administration, through Mr. Morgan, has approached the Faculty Wives' Association to organize a campaign aimed at Faculty and Administration staff in the hopes that some of these students can find adequate accommodations with them. In addition, all parents of local students will be contacted and asked if they could poss_ibly house a• student until Christmas. If these two groups cannot accommodate all the students, then an· appeal will be made to the Lakehead Service Clubs. The present appeal being made for additional housing is independent of the Student Housing Bureau as accommodations for these students are only required until the Christmas break. changed to a Student-Faculty Lounge. In a meeting the ' following week, representatives of the Council & Calude Smith, Director of Planning and Plant Operations, came to an agreement over the disput~. It was decided that a trail period of one month would be allotted to the sch.eme. and, if after that time, the students were 'still dissatisfied, the facilities would be removed. When speaking about the change, Mr. Smith said: "The decision wasn't made lightly. Every aspect of the university is going to be jeopardi"zed by the lack of facilities." He went on to say that the cafeteria would be ... the hardest hit. Increased enrollment and construction delays have apparently caused a lack of space for many planned facilities O? campus. But when asked if the cafeteria problem was related to the recent construction strikes, Mr. Smith said, "It was never planned that the extention to the University Centre · housing a 700 seat cafeteria and 400 seat dining room, would be completed for this school·--year." He also stated that even if the strikes hadn't occurred, the new residence halls wouldn't have been completed for September as scheduled. The main area of contention ~ith the Students was the fact that they were not consulted by the Administration, when the plan was decided upon. Dennis Wallace, AMS Director of Finance, said, "It would seem that the University Administration considers itself sole judge in all matters surrounding the University and neither Faculty or Students are consulted when any chang,es are being made." Tom McLeod, 23 and Arts lV student Lakehead University, died suddenly Monday, August 19. At the time his death, Tom was working as a management trainee for Simpson-Sears at the Intercity Plaza. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, son Mr. and Mrs. Fulton McLeod, Tom attended school in North Bay until the the family moved to the Lakehead in 1961. H~ was a graduate of Fort William Collegiate Institute and then received his B.A. in History and English from Lakehead in 1967. He was working towards his Masters degree at t~e time of his death. Actively involved ~n student affairs during his four years here, Tom .was the Vice-President of the Arts Soc·eity 1966-67, and he received the President's Medal for his efforts in the Proctor Force the same year. His interest in photography lead him to work ·on both the Argus and the yearbook over the past years as well. .Perhaps best known for his work as the Chief Proctor over the past year, Tom was known and respected fair and . friendly man by the stuc;lent body. He is survived by his wife Joanna and son Robert F., age one,• at home; his parents Mr. and Mrs. Fulton McLeod and sister Anne, of 512 Brown St., Fort William; uncles, aunts, and other relatives. The deepest sympathy of all students, faculty and staff members of the University goes to the bereaved family ficult time. Tom was - a fine man; was our friend we shall miss him. �SEATS ON COUNCIL: U of T The University of Toronto has offered the Students Administrative Council seats on the President's Council as part of a new policy to involve students in university government. The offer was made during a private meeting between U of T President Claude Bissell and student leaders in mid July and is being considered by student leaders. The Administration source said (Aug. 6) no mention was made in the offer of how many seats students would occupy, or whether the body would begin meeting publicly instead of in closed session. Students elected to the SAC will meet this weekend to discuss policy for next year, and SAC Education Commissioner Andrew Wernick said he expects the council seats to be a major issue. Student President Steven Langdon fav- ours accepting the seats because they will provide a platform for student ~iews, but Mr Wernick calls the offer "a policy of divide & conquer because the council won' t have any pow.er as long as the Board of Governors exists and·tnakes the real decisions." "We would just waste our time and help foster the illusion that , the President's Council really decides things." series of public meetings this fall; the deadline for submissions is Nov. 30. Professor D.F. Forster,. executive assistant to President Bissell, said the committee of ten was formed three months ago to review and redefine the proper limits of the university jurisdiction and to advise the president on whether the existing machinery is adequate. Mr. Langdon said he would favour ac~ cepting the seats "if council stops meeting in secret and if we can get equal representation with the faculty. But I agree with Mr. Wernick that the council is really irrelevant; it's not in a position to change the university." Discipline at the university is controlled by CAPUT, which Prof. Forster said has long been recognized as inadequate, and which Dr. Bissell has called "calcified". The Caput includes the university president, the provost,heads of constituent colleges and federated universities, deans of faculties & the warden of Hart House. The provincial University Act empowers Caput to expel, suspend, impose fines or recommend the withholding of_ degrees, diplomas & academic standing The university also yesterday invited students & the public to submit written briefs to an advisory committee that is reviewing disciplinary procedures. The briefs will be heard at a a sac for lu D) ••• I Realizing the fact that the average Lakehead University student has no balls, a group of individuals should form a Student Apa th Y Club (S.A.C.).

REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNE Within universities, change can occur at many levels. One of the important places is the classroom. Students, both radical and straight, come to the university in the fall, and after some agony and deliberation, register. They find themselves in classes where they have little say in policy decisions. After a few attempts to change the class, individuals sink in to apathy and perform more or less as they are expecte~ to. There is a method ~y which students can break this pattern. Before registration, students of a radical persuation should get together and, after consideration of variables, which only they can determine, the group should all register for the same course. Now during the first few weeks of the course they will be in a position to have their proposals considered. come to an understanding of this prin• ciple. If they are unable to do this they will have an indication, for themselves, that they are playing games, not working for serious change within the university. • t..a....l a.ver,i I off-campus hou.sin~ b~r-ea.u. r~~ires a.c.coMl'Y'Ocla..-fio.,,s · fo.- One of the important things to remember when following this course of action is that group members must work together.

Sir: The people love peace and liberty, and enjoy those to the ~ull. All of them are so diligent, honest and sympathetic · to the poor. Nothing is cruel and miserable there. This is the country, Canada, in my dream from my childhood. Now, I as an adult, know well that your nation does the very best as a leader of the world, and I have been feeling ve~y close to you, and yet I am going to write this appealing letter for your help. I keenly feel it is very shameless deed �AUGUST 30/68 ARGUS 5 LETTERS ·coN .' T. but I cannot help appealing to help save my children. I do hope you would be kind enough to read this and the enclosed brochure of my work, though you are in the busy time. I am a woman who runs a tiny vocational school, _and now I am in a woeful plight. At a crisis of closing the school, I can hardly get to sleep at night with my better anxiety if they would run away to be beggars or · thieves -on the st~eets again. I used up all my personal funds to build the present two rooms and run the school until today. I have no regular income, and my school isn't associated with any church & I get no financial assistance from religious organizations. I .. believe we are the same sons transcending the colour & the board, and the same members trying to build the world of peace and goodwill. So I can appeal to help from you. & daughters of God The pen is mightier than the sword. Won't you wield a facile pen so that your students may participate in helping these poor ones? I entreat you again that my school will be affiliated wi~h your college and my children will get your help and friendship. Any help from you will be welcomed by the children and even a cent contributed will make them smile happily and fill them with hope in the successful future. If this appeal would be brought to your stodent council and they could raise subscriptions, it will be of great help to save my children from ··the extreme difficulties. If you want any more information of our school please communicate with The Breen Technical High School, 852 Boogodkong Tongnaekoo, Pusan, Korea, which American Korea~ Foundation operates.

I think it's hard to overstate the importance of this. You go to school for all th~se years 12 - and then college and then graduate school and you're re denied the opportunity to make serious c~~ices. WATSON: What could the student be choosing? WATSON: Jerry, in your article you said that the student is a slave. What are the components of a student's slavery? FARBER: Take my department - English. Our curriculum spells out in small detail what the student takes. We require so ·many number units for the English major, and we tell them what to take, course by course. Even the electives have to be approved by a departmental advisor. When the student enters my college he has to take what we call 'general educational requirements'. They are somebody's idea of what a well rounded person is. He does that. Nobody asks him: - Vo you want :to be we.le. }[,ounded? Nobody says: Vo you want :to be a. lop.&-lde.d ~,Leal ge.n.i.u..6? Vo you want to :take 150_un.lt6 06 Phy.&ie6? Vo qou }[,ea.,Uy want ~o :take Miclto-&i.ology? They just assume that because they run him through these courses, he is therefore going to 'be a modern western man. But I think he becomes a person who hates school, who doesn't see its relevance, who goes to classes because he's told to go to classes , who shuffles through with the slave demeanor playing the game, trying to get the degree. Most students at my school are very cynical and very open about this. They are aware that if they want to get an education they really have to scratch for it in school & probably they're going to get it outside school and that may be incompatible with their getting t .h e degree. But they want what most people want, the degree, the problem is to put on Mr. Charlie, to put on the slave-master, to do what he tells you, tell him what he wants to hear, do his silly requirements, smile at him and get through, and then be on your own. But I think it is a delusion to assume that you can spend 16 years in school and then decide to be your own man. You've been wearing a mask all the time, you take it off and it won't come off. WATSON: You've done it. You've been -a student. Was J. Farber a nigger? FARBER: Sure, I believed in grades so badly if I got a D instead of an A I lost sle~p over it. I went to UCLA and I was there to please my teachers. By the time I got into UCLA, I stopped caring too much. I spent most of my time on the student paper. But my slavish attitude resumed in graduate school when I really did prefer, for professional reasons, to please the people. WATSON: Are you still a nigger? FARBER: I'm a transitional figure. I've come out of one thing and I'm trying to start another. It's a very exciting position to be in, but it is also very awkward: you have to pay very, heavy dues when you make that transition. Imagine an age - our age - where you're coming out of one sexual morality into another. The people who are making the change have special problems, because they have to contend with what was put in their head by the old one & they're trying to create the new one. The kids who grew FARBER: I think to approach that you have_ to ask what it means for a.person to be a nigger rather than a Negro ~r a black person. To be a slave, or to be a nigger, means not only that you are exploited, that you've been treated unjustly, that you're being discriminated against, but that you accept it; you accept the role, you're willing to go along with it, you'll play the part. That's why the · student is not just oppressed or downtrodden, but has that slave mentality --- a sort of obliging, ingratiating surface & a kind of stubborn refusal to co-operate underneath. The student, as I see him, is put in a position where the main thing he learns is to follow orders, now, and I have my doubts about how much else he learns, par- . ticularly when you consider the time he spends in school. You don't learn that much for those 12 dreary years, but the one thing you do learn, as I can tell from my freshmen students at college, is to do what you're told. If I were to ask my students to do some silly thing, to go to the library and pick ten books off the shelf and write down the first word in each book and then write the words backwards or something, they'd do it -- I swear to God they'd to it. But, if I ask them to think, to care, then they run into trouble, because that's not what education has dealt with in their lives. WATSON: Now hold on a minute. The university students in the United States are perhaps 10% of the population and they have produced over the years a pretty enviable parcel of scholarships, scientific achievement, and exploration of all kinds. Are you telling me_ that these are people who have never learned how to think? FARBER: The universities of the United States have produced a great deal more. They have produced people, scientists for example, who have technical capacity in their area and no capacity whatsoever to insist on determining on how their work is used. They have produced people who are willing to work in their narrow area, who are very good at it, and who let it go at that. So it's true that the colleges can turn out a certain kind of proficiency but it's what they don't turn out that worries me. ' WATSON: What's missing? FARBER: What's missing is the ability and the desire to be a free man and that has serious effects on our national politics. There's a great tendency in this country to assume that it's all happening somewhere else politically and that you and I and other people do not have very much to do with it. The people up there have access to the computers and the inside information and they know so the. relationshi of the citizen to politics is that of a spec- FREEDOMS AT chat hannah Initially, "The UniveMliy }[,UeJr.VU .the }[,,i.ght :to 1Le0u.&e a.dmi..h.&ion .to any ca.ncUdate, and .to 1Le6u.& e }[,e-a.dmi..6.&ion i6 a. .&:tu.dent'.& a.c.a.de.mlc pM601tma.nce 06 gene/Lal conduct ha.-6 be.en uru,at-<-66a.c:to1Ly." (Lakehead University Calendar, 1968-69, p.49). This reference to "general conduct" has, for some time, been of great interest to me. However, no matter who I ask, or how many people I ask, no one really appears to know exactly what it means. Very interesting. For some strange reason, I always assumed that a university was a "community of men and women who have come together to pursue and to disseminate knowledge". (Ibid._ p. 25 7.) Whether or not the "traditional privileges of a university are freedom of inquiry & freedom of expression" (Ibid. p. 257) can only be placed in the realm of the ideological for the time being, when, as a good friend and graduate of this university, asks: "Wh.a:t c.a.n you ex.pec:t oil.Om a .6 y.&.tem wh,i.ch die.ta.tu }[,athelL .than educate.& 8 WOIL.6Mp.6 .&uccu.& at .the expen.&e o0 peMonal develop11ent?" Exactly what is meant by that quotation regarding freedoms etc.? Are the people who wrote the calendar in the same category as some at Trent University in Peterborough, who, refused re-admission to a candidate because of his "leftist activities". Is this the great academic freedom they speak of? Is the real meaning "Vo what you IAXlnt he/Le in univelr..6Uy, bu.t, do U 11 DUil. way. This situation does not exist merely for students either. "The faculty can testify to the lack of freedom in their teaching methods, and in their extra-faculty activities. What is the purpose of this university? Is it the production of pr9grammed stereotypes that it appears to be, or is it a place where people can congregate, in the real spirit of inquiry, to learn freely and, unencumbered by out-dated archaic concepts, evolve into socially aware, thinking individuals? And I emphasize individuals. "University life has its privileges and responsibilities" - to what? To whom? And most important, why? It appears as if the "University" itself is greater than the people in it. The institution is the God. Fear the great God and you shall be delivered. I wondered if these responsibilities include my personal responsibility to say "No!" to the system when it is strangling me by means of an insane prerequisite which I do not have to a course that I feel I would really enjoy taking?

That's the way I see myself: I am trying to work towards freedom in education, but I didn't have it. WATSON: How much freedom does a student have to have? Are you suggesting that anyone ~hould be able to walk into a college and look around and say: "Will, li'-6 p!C.efty nic.e. he.Jc.e., 1'U ma.ybe. _ -6w.dy • a.

Why not? WATSON: First of all, a whole lot of people are putting a whole bundle of money to operate these un1versities on the premise that something is going to happen to the student when he . gets there. FARBER: Now you are getting down to the crux of it. Who pays the money? Who benefits from colleges? For whom are they operated? WATSON: Now you are going to tell me that the reason the student is a slave is that he's being bought-is th~t it? FARBER: I think it is true that society expects that in return for its money something is going to be done to the student. WATSON: FARBER: Something is going to be done to the student? Done to the student. Right. I'm using that formulation intentionally. We want them to grow up like us & school is one of the ways we do it. School is the way we cut ~hem out with a cookie-cutter in the same shape we're in. But this is not necessarily the best· thing from the student's po·i nt of view. Granted if you want to reproduce your society, if you.could, what you are talking about might be a good thing to do. But if what you want to do is provide an opportunity where someone can learn - I mean really learn, not be trained, _ not be programmed, but learn-then it is not a good idea. What would be a good idea would be precisely what you said: that ·the kid walks into school and takes what he wants to take. WATSON: But supposing he doesn't want to take anything. I don't know how well disciplined you are, but I know how lazy I am. I think my inclination would be to walk into the school and just get to know as many girls as I could. FARBER: I think they have messed up your head. And I'll tell you why. You remind me of the black person who reaIly believes he needs slavery and is uncomfortable about, frying to do without it. He's afraid of being free. We grow up thinking:" "16 they don':t hold tho-6e. gJc.a.du ove;r. my he.ad a.nd i6 :they don' :t coe.Jc.ce. me., I won' :t get a.ny:thhtg done. be.c.au6 e. I am la.z y. " We mistake our slavish truculence, our slavish sluggishness for our real selves. Naturally you're lazy when you are doing Mr. Charlie's wor~. I've never been lazy doing my own work. I find as a teacher I am tremendously ener- uc~ted"; the; the Faculty is here to teach us what they already know, and (of course, this is all hypothetical) then, the administration is here to make sure that we have a place to meet with our professors, to insure that we have rest-rooms to go to when we feel compelled, and to keep our records in safe--keeping for us. As is the case though, the administration is here to make things run smoothly, to make sure that there ar~ enough people here so that the Govt Grants will come through, to decide on regulations to keep us in line and finally, to decide what we should take, what we should think & when we should think it. It's like when I was a kid, and my parents told me that the policeman was my friend, he would take me home if I was lost, and then the bubble broke when I saw the policeman, my friend remember, beating the shit out of peaceful demonstrators; spraying getic. I will stay up night and day doing something that matters, solely because I want to. Nobody will know the difference. I won't get into trouble for not having done it. I remember once I wanted to go in and talk about French history. I did not know much about it. I read endless books on French history just for one class. It was not really a good class because I had too much information. I dumped it all on them. The point is, I really worked because it was my work - I had the very best kind of reason - my reason. WATSON: Let's talk about solutions. You talk about pushing down the walls and letting a little air in, letting education into the street and the street into school. Do the solutions have to be violent solutions? FARBER: I'm non-violent. I don't believe you should hurt anyone, any time, for any reason. Sudden, yes. Absolutely radical. Let me go back to my metaphor of black people & the civil rights movement. We've been asking for sudden solutions & evE;rybody always sa~s: "Well, yu we.' Jc.e. gohtg :to do -6ome._:thing, bu.:t :thue. :thhtg-6 all.en' t done. ove.Jc.nlght'! If · you let them go at their pace, they will never be done. It's only with this insistent pressure, with this impatience Mhich is characteristic of kids in college now, that any change is happening. I don't think it's immature or romantic to ask for change now. It may be immature to expect I am going to have it tomori;,ow morning. But would I change it if I coul~, would I wish it could be changed by tomorrow morning? Of course because I think it's a plague --- I think what passes for education now is really a plague. I think its very dangerous." As a matter of fact, I think it's killing _p eople. It's killing people in other countries by what kind of citizens it is turning out in this country and the way in which they participate in the country's decisions & politics. I thi~k it can change. A great many. people are unhappy with education as it stands now. It's a question of realizing the power you've got. ' If students could ever realize the power they've got, they could change things very quickly. They came very close to it at Berkeley - they just didn't ask for enough. They &ot what they asked, but at the time they weren't wise enough to ask for what they should have asked for. They asked for a voice in what happens on campus. I don't see that there are curriculum planners so wise that the students couldn't do just as well. Whatever the students decided would be right because they decided it. Just as what you choose to read, that's the right thing to read because you want to read it, and what someone forces you to read - I'm not saying recommends - what someone forces you to read· is not going to be the right thing. ARE THERE ANY? mace over students, and, being a proper bastard. in general, At the expense of the student, administrators keep their files neat and tidy.

And what about the course in which the professor's personal political views appear, be they reactionary or revolutionary, and they happen to be opposite my own? What do I do then? Do I chuck my own views · out the window for the sake of a lousy ~ourse credit, or do I write what I deem to be true? It all depends on what you want out of Lakehead University. If you seek the paper after three years, then you have to prostitute yourself in order to get what you're after. On the other hand you can tell the whole establishment to go straight to hell take off and get what you want elsewhere. This, as a matter of fact, is one of the prime arguments of a particular official here at Lakehead. But what end .does that serve. Why not attempt to reform this University? This is a young place, and change can come easier here than many other universities across the country. Some of us believe that it is worth the ·concerted effort to try it. "PouU.n /wall.d An award for outstanding citizenship presented to the student selected by his fellows, the Faculty & Administration as contributing most to the.welfare of the University through his student activities." (Ibid. p. 286.) • As a show of support, let"' s award this to the person who burns down the old Lakehead University and builds the new one. That, I believe is truly " contributing most· to the welfare of the University" and to the people who will come here in the future. �co My hubby Ray & I spend long times in supermarkets.

Since we were stuck with it, we looked at its owner & tried to understand this rather unusual phenomenon. So we looked carefully at her looking at us. And as we looked we were astonished at what we saw. She was beyond all doubt a human being just like us. She was also a frustrated woman living in a hellish world without any love. She was seething with a veom of frustra tion and we · saw in her a woman who had, no doubt, never been loved, not by parents, nor husband or children. Within her, we felt a lynching mob, the Ku Klux Klan, a zealous witchburner, a John Bircher and a hot-line addict. But ~hat we saw was just another misdirected life. For this poor woman, with all her frustrated energy, even if she succeeded in burning Ray and a thousand others, would never find one minute of peace and happiness. Moreover because she would not look within herself for her solutions, but thought she saw solutions in attacking a person who was entirely a stranger to her, she would never change and so she was doomed in her hell, and she would never know why. Though it may sound like we hated her this woman seemed so victimized and helpless that we felt compassion for her, And I smiled at her and told herthat she was cute and that she was filled with too much hate, and though I thought these words would inflame her ange~, she immediately abandoned us, leaving us once again to our dreams which were no longer on food. She brought another memory to my mind and 1 remembered the Be-In held a month ago in Waverley Park. And I remembered a policeman climbing up on the platform to tell the kids to turn t~e music down as it bothered the patients in the hospital. The policeman's request seemed to be understandable, as the music was very loud and the hospital was nearby as people in ls are times dyTh 0 y forward hoping would make the move that would give them the excuse to pounce. And sure enough, be.fort= the concert was over, up jumped a young revolutionary who reminded the audience that they had been hassled. Hassled, Hassled, Hassled, Hassled. All of this reminds me of the stu- dents who say that they want to overthrow the University as it now stands students who want. to burn down buildings, write all over the walls, decapitate the administration, strip their teachers of their false dignity and false sense of superiority. Their feelings are certainly understand especially---'1 education~ ot to chew gum, smoke or mention sex and religion, to read censored Shakespeare and other writers, to suppress all feelings and emotions and at many schools, they were not even allowed into the library,, cafeteria or washe ified periods ng continues one schools than in the States and most other provinces in Canada.

Cut off some-• one's head even in the name of the greatest ideal whether it be Christianity, Democracy, Communism or Freedom and your .ideal turns into another French Revolution with you the guillotiner mocked by-- the wretched heads which resemble your own heads which you have cut off.

It is much more difficult to make an old University or any other well established institution ehange than it is to start a vital, new University. Can you blame people in our educational ck imagination? ination if they ted and stifled d meaningless ood? No, your are unfortunate victims o a soul crushing system. Sometimes the dull, strict teacher is just a man unfamiliar with any other methods of relating to students than those that were applied to him, and then again, when we do something for many years, it is almost impossible to re-arrange the wrinkles of habit. No, leave them be. Start your own Universities if it is University you want. Enough of saying my theory is better than your fact. There are not nearly enough free schools in ~xistence. Start your own schools. Hire your own staff, be your own Administration, in time you will have all the imaginative people who feel out of place in the present day educational system. The present institution and the new University can exist side by side -- the first, preparing people for office jobs and the world of business, the other, for the vast world of originality and creativity. It could work out like the Ontario College of Art in Toronto which gives degrees and produces cotlDilercial artists and designers for industry and The Artists Work Shop, which, though it does not give degrees, has more prestige in the artist community and attracts people who feel that their creativity had been stifled at O.C.A., and if you really have good ideas it will fo~ce the old institutions to either learn from you or to recognize and accept itself as the utilitarian commercial institution it is becoming, or perhaps, has already become. Our system has become too inflexible anyway. Let us once again Doctors, Lawyers, gravedigs, 1 bers, writers, mathe• n Discover your and it will mean much more to you. If we c3n do this then once again we may have dedicated and involved people, and certainly it is only when we have dedicated and involved people that we can -keep our learning and living alive. �uptotheHARDY NORTH - by Deirdre Smythe One of the main purposes of the expedition is to study the ecology of the area. They set up approximately 160 small snap traps in a campsite and leave them for three days. Small mammals - shrews, mice & squirrels are disected & preserved in various chemicals. ~tatistics are taken on the vital organs of the animals. Shrew ovaries & squirrel stomachs! This is done in a systematic manner so that a comparison can be made between time & place. A similar study was conducted last summer. A joint effort on the part of the Anthropology and Biology Departments of Lakehead University, under the direction of Ken Dawson and Tom Northcott, sent a team of two students to Lake Makokabatan on the Albany River - 150 miles straight north of Geraldton into the black fly infested bush. They are studying the ecology of the landscape, taking notes on the- weather, collecting plant specimens & evidence of Indian civilization. An all-encompassing survey, then.

The Lands and Forests float plane dropped them off at Fort Hope, flew in supplies once in the two month period and will also bring them back to benevolent mankind. They will have travelled 100 miles up the Albany, having had ~O or 11 different campsites and ending up at Washi Lake. The long term objectiv~s include a comparison of the results on the land before and after a study of ecology. Success of the project may mean the area will be inundated for the purpose of hydro electric power. In such a scheme, the party of 2 suffers many dangers of isolation. The Lands and Forests pilot keeps close watch on a region covering 35,000 sq. miles. The many accomplishments of this survey could not have been carried through without the help that the Lands and Forests has given. CONTEST NOTE Since the postal strike has negated all . chances for you, our readers, to participate in the latest thrilling ARGUS contest , we will extend the closing date for entries to thirty days after the end of the strike. Besides, we've misplaced the pictures that were printed in the last issue with the profs names on the back, so, we can't judge the contest anyway. 1968 REGISTRATION SCHEDULE OF BOOKSTORE HOURS -------------------------------·--------------------------------9:00-+-5:00 Tuv.,day, Sep.tembeJr. 3 FORESTRY VIPLOMA Wednv.,day, Sep.tembeJr. 4 9:00-+-5:00 FORESTRY VIPLOMA Thu.JL6day, Sep.tembeJr. 5 9:00+9:00 PART-TIME Fuday, Sep.tembell. 6 9:00+5:00 REGIONAL NURSING .

This allowed L.U. to win the Commercial tournament and give the top -teams iD the Intermediate Tournament a tough test. The simple reason for this new-found zest was the ,fact that the boys were playing for money. L.U. is tough to beat when there's loot at stake.

I In the Commercial Fastball Tournament, Lakehead University picked up the top prize money of $200.00 They accomplished this by defeating Red Rock 5-4 with Peter-Young coming through with a key hit. Dave Young picked up the mound win. Lakehead University received a bye in the second round and met the highly toasted Great Lakes Pap.e rmakers. L~ u. won the g~me on a throwing error in extra innings by a score of 1-0. Jim Gellert pitched a fine game to pick up the win. In the final game strong hitting by John Silvonen and Hank Akerval, who blasted two home runs, combined with fine fielding led to the prize money when they defeated Videon Vees 7-6. In the Intermediate Tournament L. U. once again started strong. They beat the Centennial Leag111e, All Stars with a six run rally -in the last inning. In the . next game L.U. displayed a strong hitting attack to down Macleod Panthers 11-4. Their final loss to the Ukes.. was the first loss in six tournament games. The Ukes had a great deal of difficulty with the hustling L.U. team and they eventually went on to win , the tournev in the next game with an easy vietory. In their second season, the Lakehead U. Nor'Wester fastball team failed to make the Intermediate League playoffs. Compensating for this fact was their excellent play in tournament ball. They won the Commercial Tourn~ent & $200 first prize money and the following weekend, they won their first two games in the Intermediate Tournament before bowing 4-3 to the eventual winners, the Ukes. In league play this year the Nor' Westers won 5 games. The pitching of Jim "Workhorse" Gellert & Dave Young was strong, and the hitting was consistent , however, the fielding was erratic. Lou Pero & John Silvonen had the big bats for the team, while Peter Young came through with some clutch hitting, but all to no avail. All in all, it was a hot frustrating season for the boys. When it ~ame time to play tournament ball, things changed. Coach Hank Akerval was allowed to play in tourney ball & this definitely could have been one of the factors leading to the winning mar.gin. t************-lr'k*************************t THE MANAGEMENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE !

The six portables are there in the spirit of expansionist art, as a result of the admission of an additional one- hundred students to the Bachelor of Education Program. The additional one hundred spaces create a new ceiling where formerly there were up to 2,600 students competing for 150 places in the one year Bachelor of Education Program. The expansion comes at a time when, according to Dr. R.W. McLeod, Dean of Education, ''The province is going from a surplus situation to one of a teacher shortage". There is already a teachers shortage in Southern Ontario, especially within the Separate School System which has expanded due to recent funding by the provincial government. A need for teachers also exists in Northwestern Ontario in the area of specialized education. The simple fact remains that the teaching staff across the province is aging. As large numbers of teachers retire, more teachers are re- quired to take their places. Dean- McLeod said that several teachers are likely to move out of the educational system this year due to the closing of a ministry retirement window. These teachers will be required to leave by June in order to take advantage of an early retirement without penalty. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities has provided for the necessary expansion in the form of an access fund. According to Fred Poulter, Vice-President of Administration, the fund was meant as a temporary measure to handle the expected bulge in enrolment with the OACs, until the bulge is gone. The resultant expansion of the Education Department has affected both human and physical resources. No new permi!nent staff have been added to the Education Department to accommodate the increase in students. Instead, new staff members have term appointments. Appointments may be extended once it is determined that a continuing need exists. Among the term appointments is the new Field Experience Coordinator, Mrs. . Helen Prodanyk. Hers is a three year term appointment. Dr. James Ryan and Dr. James Haines have two year term appointments and will instruct respectively in the areas of Educational Administration and Educational Psychology. Professor Robert Welsh is on a two year secondment from the Lakehead Board of Education, lending his expertise to the area of Elementary Curriculum and Evaluation. Secondary Curriculum and Evaluation will be taught by Mr. James Carter who has a one year appointment. Portables were bought to . accommodate spacing problems due to the increase in enrolment. The purchase price of the portables was included in the $199,000 access grant made available to the University by the Ministry. In addition to the temporary nature of the assistance provided by the grant, there was a time element to consider. This resulted in the purchase of the six portables ready and available from the Lakehead District Catholic· School Board. Considerable alterations have been made to the portables; as well a considerable amount of thought has gone into. their placement. The two portables providing in- One thing's for sure, you can't say that P.am Christie doesn' t get involved. Christie, a second year Political Studies major here at LU, is a founding member of the citywide S.A.O.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) organization, an instructor with the Red Cross, a volunteer with the Addiction Research Foundation and president of the Young Liberals. Christie was also elected as a co-ordinator for both the Ontario Young Liberals board and the Ontario Liberal Party Executive Board. She serves as a liason between the area ridings and the senior party organization in Toronto. With such an active involvement in community and regional affairs, it comes as no surprise to hear that she is planning to run for a position of trustee on the Lakehead Board of Education in the November 14 elections. Christie said she was prompted to run out of a deep concern for the educational system and what students are being taught in the system. She feels -strongly that stu- dents need to be adequately prepared for the fut_ure. "I want to make sure that everyone who graduates from the Lake head Board ...can go onto university or college or even onto the workforce, if they decide to do that, with a sense they have accomplished something and they know what's going on," Christie said. "And also, I want to make sure that the board is fiscally responsible," she added. Christie said she has been looking at running for the school board for quite some •time now and has been familiarizing herself with the duties of a trustee. "I'm going over to the board office to talk to some people who are involved and I've spoken to a couple of past board members just to find out how much time is involved," Christie explained. "I've also spoken to the Minister of Education and casually inquired about things," she added. Christie admits that she has never personally attended a board meeting but she has read a lot of the information sent out by the provincial ministry concern- ..

The portables housing faculty offices and administration to the Native Language Instructional Program have access to coinciding facilities within the main building. The portable located off the Student Lounge will serve the needs of the graduate students. Sessiona l instructors also have their own portable. As the portables are only a temporary solution, Dean McLeod said that he hoped a permanent structure would be built to accommodate the expansion. Vice-President Poulter said that the University had applied to the Ministry for a new education building in the past three years, but had yet been unsuccessful. However, with a new bid in the works, ,the portables on the lawn may just satisfy the Ministry that the need for a new building does exist. a Power Plant Fire Student Profile: Pam Christie by George Krebs Increased enrollment forces School of Education to seek shelter. Photo by Duncan W•ll•r by George Krebs Christle hopes to make a difference In education. ing school reform and standardized testing. Christie doesn't seem to be worried about the demands the job of a trustee will place on her if she is elected. Although she is a full-time student at LU, she believes her class schedule will allow her enough time to serve on the board. She will make it her part-time job. "Well, a lot of people who are running now have fulltime jobs and also have a family at home," Christie said. "Other people have managed it with far busier schedules than myself." Christie will also have to deal with the question of experience. She is nineteen years old, having just graduated from Port Arthur Collegiate High School in 1987. However, she does not see her age as a disadvantage. "I haven't had any negative comments yet about my age. I say that I have twelve A fire in the university power pJant caused more than $60,000 damage, but the power plant will be operating as normal. The August 25 fire was caused by a malfunction of the switch, according to Arthur Davies, Director of the Physical Plant. When the operator turned off the switch, a surge of power went through it, burning the flammable parts and producing a lot of smoke. Davies estimated the damage to be ''between sixty and one hundred thousand dollars." He added that only electrical repairs are necessary and that there was no building damage. The power plant, adjacent to the Centennial Building, receives all the electricity for the campus, generates steam and controls the air condjtioning system. The fire has left two units out of commission and repairs will take four to five months. However, Davies assures that "everything' s back to normal." Davies maintains that the fire was not the result of faulty equipment because the switch was inspected and cleaned only two months ago. The power plant is equipped with heat detectors; however, Davies said that the opera tor immediately phoned in the fire to security, which called the fire department. a years experience on the board-in education," Christie said. She adds, "The system is fresh in my mind. My brother is still in the school system and ... I have friends in the school system. I probably have a little different perspective of how the education system works." Christie has expressed concern about the Action Team running in the next election. She feels that candidates should run as individuals and that by joining a team a person is being "unfair to themselves". Christie said that members of the Action Team, if elected, might "feel obligated to go with the rest of the team instead of speaking out on your own interests." Pam Christie will announce her candidacy for the Lakehead Board on September 7, after which her campaign will get fully under way. c 15 September,' f98'8'•tfte'Argus:.f»cige5 ., �President's Report Orientation Fever EDITORIAL I know that editorials are g~nera~ly used t<? critic_ize things about our environment winch give our hfe pam (speed bumps, for example) but this article is not going to be like that. Instead, I would like to talk about the positive atmosphere on campus at the beginning of this fall. Last year, things were not great -- the professors and administration were deadlocked in a strike, affecting the Winter Carnival, and almost eliminating Study Break and/ or two weeks of student work time in the summer. Student politics were a sham, and the Argus was considered as worse. All around, there were not very many happy campers. This year, everyone' attitude seems to be very different. For example, LUSU and the LU administration are working together on many projects, and each is keeping the the other informed of general happenings. There is actually communication! The attitude within LUSU has drastically changed, too. The Executive held meetings at least once every two weeks this summer; these meetinss often went three and four hours in length. Many projects were started this that will be continued during the year, and some were even wrapped up before September start~. The attitudes of Corrine, David, Lorri Randy, and the leadership of Roch, show that a lot should get done for the students this year. The progress in the Study (under the supervision of Bruce Graham) is proof of this. .h h . . Argus has also improved its relations wit t f" university in general. Katherine Sheddon of the Agora, ~he administration newspaper, and Argus ha:ve been exchanging ideas, stories and photos, and a lot of support. T~e Nor'wester, which is published by Alumni, has also been in contact with Argus. Relations between Argus and LUSU are much better this year - for a change. The fighting and mud-slinging has been replaced by a good working relationship, and a mutual concern for helping and invofving the student. So where does this leave us? With a better university. The best example so far is the President's BBQ last Wednesday night, which drew many more than the expected 500 students. But it wasn't just students who attended. Of course, Dr. Rosehart, the president of Lakehead was there, as well as Fred Poulter, VP of Finan.ce, Joy Lawson, Director of Student Services and many other administrators. Dr. Zimmermann and Dr. Gellert were a couple of the professors who were cooking up the hamburgers for everyone. Every LUSU executive member attended as well as some of the Board of Directors. And of course, there were a huge amount of students. The circumstances and the atmosphere of this • event really made.me realize"how well everyone is getting along. If this keeps up, _we might get through the year without a scandal. • Strange, isn't it'~ . Graham Strong Ad and Submissions Deadline is Friday at 4:30pm So you've done that registration 'thing' and hopefully you've found a place to stay. The mood on Campus seems positive. As I started to write this report I was up to my neck in "campus kits". By the end of the week we'll be virtually sold out. Obviously the "!-shirt and balloons for the kids" are a hit. I had fun picking up students at the airport, train and bus terminal~. Students ~ppreci~ted the service and I had a chance to meet some new people. It was especially fun doing the red eye" express with Late Nite Productions. . Communication lines between LUSU and Res seem to be openmg up and you've got to like it. A Res student is actually sitting on the LUSU Board of Directors. If Greg Beckford's help and enthusiasm this week is any indication of \\'.hat's to come then I'm looking forward to a good year. Glad to have you "on Board" Greg. Speaking of Res, the idea of the week award has got to go to Res boss and LUSU Senator John Burton and Co. Res held their hop in both Res and Main Cafeterias last Friday. Alcohol was served in the Res Caf, dancing and smoking went on in the Main Caf. Once I got the system figured out I had a good time. And so did most of the other 600 students. The Argus will most likely do the same next Friday for their Video show. The LUSU Board of Directors initial meeting will take place next Thursday at 6:00 p.m. in the Senate Chambers. We may get a visit from the Chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students, Beth Brown. If not, she is scheduled to be on campus for the following Friday anyway. Reaction to the 'Study' renovations are, on the whole, favourable. Some students are concerned about whether or not it will last. I tend to be more optimistic. So far we've only had one casualty (broken chair) Touch wood! Doc and Randy are looking into revamping our sound system as well. Not only will we get quality sound but we'll save money on production when bands play in the 'Study'. A lot of new faces are coming through the office. If you're interested in getting involved there's plenty of events and committee work we need help with. Contact any executive, board member or Lorraine for more info. Be nice to Lorraine though, she's battery operated now. Now that's what I call complete computerization of the office. Hats off to Corinne Santa and all of her associates for putting together an impressive orientation package. This ought to get us on the right footing for the year.

This comes as a result of a revised smoking policy which has greatly reduced the areas where smoking is permitted. Fred Poulter, Vice Presi• dent of Administration, said that the revisal is a response to the former smoking policy of May 1986 which he said he felt had not been respected. "What we needed was a policy with more tooth." The increased militancy shown towards smoking is reflected by many other institutions and businesses within both the public-arid private sectors. The policy revisal was produced after consultation with representatives of virtually every union and employees group on campus. In an effort to be truly representative, the group included both staff and students, smokers and non-smokers. Said Poulter "Only involvement like this will make the policy work." According to the new po_licy, smoking is restricted to the following areas: the designated1areas of the Main Cafeteria the Faculty Lounge the Bora Laskin Student Lounge HERE'S Code of Student Conduct and -the Games Room -the Aesthetics Lounge Discipline and it is expected that several steps before ex• -the Study -UC0046-Custodial change plsion will prevail.

"Not in the near future•not if we plan to have a student union building." Presently, a new student union building tops the LUSU executive's agenda this year. Twenty-five dollars from each student's tuition is being directed towards the student union building fund. The fund was created four years ago by LUSU. If there is to be a radio station in the future, it would be located in the union building. Photo by Peter Puna The Day the Music Died Radio Station not a top priority says Corln_n e Santa. "Our (irst priority is the student union building. It's the main project. The longer the delays for the building, the longer the delays for a radio station," Corinne ~id. Corinne also pointed out other problems in establishing a radio station on ca'mpus, including permission from the Department of Transportation and Communication, equipment, hiring staff, broadcasting hours, size of the listening audience and advertising. Corinne predicted that there could be some conflicts with other local radio stations. And then there is profitability. "From what people have told me, no radio station in a Canadian university is making money." The University of Toronto's campus radio station CIUT is facing a $150,000 operating deficit. c CODE Helps Illiteracy ARGUS is looking for: • Writers • Photographers • C.o mputer Wizzes • YOUf Come Down-to the ARGUS office UC0019 (Past The Games Room) GUELPH (ISIS) •• Over 800 million people in the world today cannot read or write.

It also gives an individual greater understanding and control about the world which can only lead to a fuller existence. Beyond these life skills, literacy opens the mind to the wonders of the world. As an organization, CODE keeps getting even more effective because their approach is based on practical. programs. One unique approach is that of '1ndigenous Publishing" in which CODE provides needy groups with paper and materials to do their own printing. This method means that instead of sending ready•made Western style educational material, a group can create printed books in the local language to suit a specific need. CODE also appreciates that of the 800 million illiterate people in the world, 600 million are women. CODE makes a conscious effort, when printed material is sent from Canda, to provide information relevant to women and their development. c r, I p \ t~Sepfe'ni6er~ 198~-Argus:Page s· �MNR CentreBack to Drawing Boards stry of Natural Resources for their research purposes. • Al though the centre would The new forest/biology centre to be built beside the be equipped and used by the library has gone back to the MNR, Arthur Davies, Physidrawing boards because the cal Plant Director, feels the proposed project went way university will definitely over budget.

ISIS started in 1986 at The .Imprint, the student newspaper of the University of Waterloo. Waterloo has a large number of co-op education courses resulting in students often leaving campus for extended periods of time. For a campus newspaper this means that writers may find themselves in another city and unable to submit articles. The situation would have continued at the Imprint were it not for Doug Thompson, then Imprint's head typesetter, and Shawn Sheridan, a·computer science major. Using university computer facilities in Waterloo and Toronto Sheridan was able to send stories through the computer lines directly to the Imprint typesetting machine. This resulted in a considerable time savings for both editors and typesetters. With a new fond interest in using computers and telephone to . exchange information, Doug Thompson developed ISIS with the help of Jay Lechtamn, the features editor of the John Hopkins News-Letter in Baltimore Maryland. Over the past two years the software has been developed and a network created that allowed ISIS to start distribution this fall. Last year newspapers across Canada received printed packages of of information from ISIS as the first step in starting an independant news exchange for student papers. The packages were informative, current, and for the most part, relevant to student issues. Working under two SEED grants this past summer, the Argus visited ISIS in Wat~rloo to determine if the Argus could in fact enter this new age where computers phone each others and university students in Australia want to read our paper. The concept is simple, the technology is almost beyond comprehension. Science fact and science fiction have met, inside a small plastic computer in the basement of the University Centre. The Argus has entered the 21st century, 12 years ahead of everyone else. ISIS is a reality that is surfacing around the world. The initial contact with ISIS could not have been made without the help of the Lakehead University Computer Centre and support staff. Using the Micro Vax systen and the Bitnet network the Argus was able to be the first newspaper in the world to initiate a contact with ISIS through a computer terminal with the aid of an on-site technician. Anyone wishing to submit articles or letter to the Argus using telephone modems or the university main frames should contact the Argus office for addressing information. Latin America Advances in Literacy Not Great by Gustavo Gonzalez SANTIAGO, Chile, (IPS)(via ISIS) -- Latin America has experienced a great expansion in educational opportunities over the last 20 years with a concurrent reduction in illiteracy, but overall women have benefitted less than men. This is the conclusion of a report by the Latin American Demographic Center (Celade) which surveyed 13 countries in the region, including the most populous ones, and found that -- with the exception of Venezuela -literacy rates for women are uniformly lower than those for men. The Center, which is part of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), a United Nations-affiliated organization, selected for study countries which had available comparable census data for a period close to 1980. Of the countries studied, Haiti, Guatemala and Bolivia had the highest percentages of illiterate adults. The other countries surveyed were Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. Female illiteracy is 64.4 percent in Haiti, 43 percent in Bolivia and 48 percent in Guatemala. Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, in contrast, exhibfted less than 10 percent illiteracy among women, the lowest in the' region. Celade's study found that the expansion of education has reached nearly all sectors of the Latin American population, producing important social and demographic changes. These transformations, however, have not wiped out existing differences between urban and rural areas, and it is in the countryside that the highest rates of illiteracy persist. This is attributable in part, the study found, to the phenomena of better educated peasants migrating from the countryside to the cities in search of work. In the region in general, rates of urban illiteracy vary from five percent to 39 percent, while in the rural areas the figures were 15 to 73 percent. In Argentina, Chile and Colombia literacy rates for men and women are quite similar in the cities, but in Argentina and Chile rural women have literacy ratesJ5 percent below their urban counterparts. In Haiti and Guatemala, which report the highest rates for the region, illiteracy is 30 percent greater among women in the countryside than in the cities. In its general conclusions, Celade notes that throughout most of Latin America, notwithstanding the rural-urban dichotomy, women are going to school in greater numbers and for more years than ever before. "Women, in general, are reaching a level of education a little under that of men," said the agency, adding that "this is true for countries whose populations show more education, as well as those where there is a high percentage of people without education." In Haiti barely 20 percent of girls attend primary school, while at the other extreme, seven percent of women in Uruguay attend university or receive some forrri of higher education, the highest rate for the region. In its last annual report, the United Nations Children~s Fund (UNICEF) found that in 1985 in Haiti, 40 percent of men and 35 percent of women were literate. This was an improvement over 1970, when the figures were 26 and 17 percent. In these same 15 years, according to UNICEF, literacy among Guatemalan men rose from 51 to 63 percent. The rates for women went from 37 to 47 percent. In Bolivia, with the third lowest literacy rates among the countries studied, male literacy grew from 68 percent in 1970 to 84 percent in 1985, and female literacy from 46 to 65 percent.a omputer Crime on ampus substantiate the rumours. "Or. John Drake, Assistant Vice-President of Computing and Information Services at McMaster, ha(d) circulated a memorandum among faculty members which essentially state(d) that the rumours (were) in fact only rumours. Said Drake, the rumours have been 'rampant in the university system ... it's been everywhere.'' stated the March 17, 1988 Newsbrief. "There have been rumours in most Ontario universities ... but to my knowledge they (RCMP) have not been on any campus," the Brief continued. Drake also said, then, that he had "no idea" why the problem had been so widespread. At the same time as the information was received on the rumours, the Silhouette received a telephone call from the Waterloo Imprint that questioned the validity of the rumours in relation to similar allegations circulating on the University of Waterloo campus. HAMILTON (ISIS) -- A former McMaster student has pleaded guilty following an RCMP investigation relating to the copyright of computerchips and software. The former student was fined $1,500 and sentenced to 170 hours of community services work. Few details were available at press time; however, Silhouette records have revealed a correlation to rumours reported on March 17, 1988. The March story appeared in a Newsbrief headlined "RCMP campus investigation a rumour." The report cited rumours of an RCMP investigation into pirated software that sprang up on southern Ontario university campuses, including McMaster. Sergeant Moriarty of the Hamilton detachment of .the RCMP said, at the time, "you can put those rumours to rest," saying he knew of no such investigations being conducted. McMaster Security officials also, at that time, denied any knowledge of any evidence which would ♦ ., • 1 , I 1, \ • • I• .. , ._ 4... • "'\ • 15 September, 1988-Argus-Page 7 �Coparn PC 88C Compact Personal Computer Fully Loaded Features Malnboard: • 8KROMBIOS • 640K RAM built-in • Four 8-bit expansion slots • One serial RS-232 communication port • One parallel port • One floppy disk drive port • Programmable speaker 0 Hard Disk Drive • 30 MB hard drive • Expansion option Base Model Floppy Disk Drives CPU • Internal 16-bit 8088-V20 microprocessor: 4.77, 7.15 and 9.54 MHz speeds, 0 wait state • 8087 math coprocessor, optional Mainboard: • 8K ROM BIOS • • 640K RAM built-in • Four 8-bit expansion slots • One serial RS-232 communication port • One parallel port • One floppy disk drive port • Programrr,able speaker Hard Disk Drive • 30 MB hard drive • Expansion option Floppy Disk Drives . 1 - 5 1/4" (360K) drive :t4onitor 14" Monochrome monitor • 1 - 5 1/4" (360K) drive • 1- 3 1/2" (720K) drive Keyboard • One hundred and one sculpted keys • Ten programmable function keys • Low profile, adjustable legs • European versions available Monitor • 14" EGA colour monitor supported by EGA _graphics Price: $1995 0 Keyboard ' • One hundred and one sculpted-keys • Ten programmable function ~eys • Low profile, adjustable legs :~-.-· • European versions availabl~·, ._ 'l,.

Above the Law by P. Saradhi Puttagunta Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the cinema, Hollywood blows you away with another mindless cop flick. Steven Seagal plays the lead in this film and also wrote the script for it. The one thing you notice about this film when you're walking away from it (or out on it) is that it has all the cliches. Naturally the central character is a Vietnam veteran. As any normal vet would, he makes up his own rules and takes on his superiors. As part of the natural act in any cop movie, this film by Terrance Corry This is not just another cowboy movie where men are men and the cattle are nervous. The movie takes a detailed look into the start of Billy the Kid's career. As the plot unwinds, the actual truth behind the legend of William H. Bonney is revealed. Billy's early exploits were found to be a composite of the actions of a group of men called the 'Regulators' of which he was a member. The Regulators was formed by a English merchant to protect him and his business from a rival company. When the competition kills the boss of the· Regulators, the Regulators look to the law for justice. With a corrupt sheriff, judge and governor; things take a turn for the worst for the Regulators.

The amazing thing about this movie is that it is based _on the actual people and not on the highly inaccurate newspaper stories of the time where most of the cowboy legends came from. The main difference in the movie is that the eleven original members were cut down to six main characters. Althought the sets and costumes were typical of the times, the producers seem to forget that life of a ranch hand tended to be hot and dirty. Since this fact was not reflected in their clothes (all the .1,500 costumes were freshly pressed), there must have been a miracle product available then that is not available now. special effects go back to the old movie times when little trick photography was used. The only difference between this picture and the old westerns is that stuntmen are used through out the movie. This is not to say that the actors did not do thier dwn stunts because they did. Because most of the actor had no riding skills before this picture, they went on a eight week crash course on riding and the tricks therein. As to the cast, a lot of new, young actors were introduced to major roles. It seems that Holywood is finding that unknown actors have more appeal to audiences. Girls seem to be enjoying this change as the theatre is filled with giggling teenagers. On t}:le whole, Young Guns is one of the better westerns to come out in a long time and is worth seeing.a and ammo to finance the CIA's wars in Central America. To make things worse, the ruthless torturers that Toscani encountered in Vietnam are involved here. One major problem that "Above the Law" suffers from a number of technical faults. Fifteen years pass b~tween Toscani' s tour of Vietnam and his ne.xt scene in present day Chicago. Yet l:ie' s still a young man just starting his family. Among other faults, the CIA is seen going after Toscani; yet if the script writers did their research they would have known that the agency no longer operates within the United States. When these trained hit men shoot at our hero they're not even holding their rifles properly. , The camera work leaves a lot to be questioned. It's hard to tell whether they meant for the scenes to be grainy or if it was just poor workmanship. This film isn't pathetic; but it isn't all that great ,either. A sequel is apparently in the works and hopefully Mr. Seagal can improve on his film making abilities. Until then, this one gets a 6 out of 10. a The movie's stunts and From the Book of Failures Duncan Weller After reading just a few of the following failure stories from THE INCOMPLETE BOOK OF FAILURES by Stephen Pile, some of our own local failure stories come to mind. The time when thieves in town tried to open a safe with dynamite and all they had left were little bits of burnt paper. The thieves who took ten hours to open a safe. They found $2.75. The safe was not locked. The combination was taped above the safe door. Yes, we all have our bad days, but some of us have golden bad days. It's times like these that remind us how unfortunately human we all are. THE WORST MAYOR Fro~ our point of view the most important mayor ever to hold office was Senor Jose Ramon.Del Cuet. . In Ju,ne 1978 he resigned as Mayor of Coacaloco in Mexico, feeling that his record in office ·was poor. This selfless decision was reached with the help of 4,000 local voters who stormed the town hall, seized the mayor and forced him to eat 12 lb. of bananas before signing his resignation. ...... THE.WORST.HIJACKER .. We shall never know the identity of the man who in 1976 made the most unsuccessful hijack attempt ever. On a flight across America, he rose from his seat, drew a gun and took the stewardess hostage. "Take me to Detroit," he said. "We're already going to Detroit," she replied. "Oh ... good," he said, and sat down again. THE LEAST SUCCESSFUL. MUGGING In 1978 Sussex police launched a hunt for a "sixfoot, dark-haired youth of about 20" who failed to mug a five-foot, 74-year-old grandmother. The youth sprang upon Mrs Ethel West while she was walking through Chichester Cathedral cloisters. The result should have been a · foregone conclusion. Surpris• ingly, however, when Mrs West grabbed the mugger's wrist, he cried, "Oh God! Oh no! Stop!" Encouraged by these pleas, she put him in an arm lock at which the mugger cried, "Oh no, oh Christ!" and ran away. "If I hadn't been carrying my shopping, I would really have put him on his back," said Mrs West who took a course in judo when younger. "Before my husband died I ( used to practice throwing him at Christmas," she explained.

Registrar Pentii Paularinne said that as of September 13, 3,5000 students had registered at Lakehead University. This number compares favourably to the 3,300 students overall who registered last year. As these statistics are not yet final, an overall number is not yet available. First year student enrolment has so far experienced an increase of 31 percent, up from 1,150 last year to 1,530 students this year said Paularinne. Enrolment for first year students in professional schools is up. Arts programs showed a 47 percent increase over last year. Sciences have not yet met their capacity with an increase of 25 percent. L.U.'s flagship program, Forestry, has first year enrolment figures that are close to double in both degree and diploma programs. There are 33 students in Forestry Technology as compared with 19 last year. Fifty students are enroled in the degree program, an increase of 50 percent over last year. The showing in Forestry is remarkable, considering that the few job opportunities available in the field had students shying away from the program in recent years. The trend in recent years has been towards steadily decreasing enrolment. The last two years have seen a modest decrease, with a 1.4 percent decrease in enrolment last year and a 6.0 percent decrease from previous enrolment the year before. On a general scale, L.U. compares favourably to other Ontario universities in experiencing the highest -increase in both applications from and acceptances by high school students. The acceptance increase was noticeable two weeks after the second Friday in June. This is the date when the university sent out its notice of application acceptance. To accommodate this increase, one hundred additional spaces were created in the one year Bachelor of Education program. The Department of Psychology added a third section to its program. Additional staff has also been added as the President of Administration, Dr. Rosehart, has set aside additional funds for teacher's assistants, markers and professors. - Problems in housing and text book shortages have been noted and efforts made to deal with them. An off-campus housing list exists at the Residence Office for students needing help in finding a place to stay. More text books have been ordered for classes that are short al).d should be arriving from the publishers in the next few weeks. Said Paularinne, "The Faculty recognizes that there are problems and will work to adjust to them." A pattern exists with smaller universities in that the largest increases in applicants have been to smaller institutions. Laurier, Brock, Laurentian and Trent have all experienced increases, with L.U. leading the lot. Paularinne attributes the increased applications to smaller universities to the unique educational opportunities provided by location and size. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities has provided Ontario universities with an access grant to deal with the increased enrolment. The $199,000 grant to L.U. has gone to cover the cost of the education portables and the renovations made to Cornwall School as the new Fine Arts facility. It's too early to say what Lynn McLeod, Minister of Colleges and Universities, will do for Lakehead now that the university has increased its enrolmentthis much but Paularinne is confidant that "the Minister will recognize the University in her own backyard." • Thunder Bay Gymnastics Association Requires part-time recreational coaches .Hours Available Days and Evenings .Great Working Atmosphere -Great For Resumes -Will Train And Certify Call Us At 623-5548 before 5:00 p.m. SeP.tember 20 or Drop By and See Usl ~ Located at: Ontario Building CLE Grounds COUNSELLING SERVICES SEMINARS FALL SESSION Register For The Session That You Would Like To Attend !3y Contacting The Career And Councelling Centre Room UC1002 Telephone: 343-8018 Study Skills Sessions Monday, September 19/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "Time Management" Thursday, September 22/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "Effective Notetaking and Listening" Monday, September 26/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "Reading Efficiently & Summarizing Textbooks" Thursday, September 29/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "How To Research & Write a Term Paper" Monday, October 3/88 7:00-8:30pm BB 1021 "Memory & Learning" Thursday, October 6/88 7:00-8:30pm BB 1021 "Exam Preparation" Tuesday, October 11/88 7:00-8:30pm BB 1021 "How To Prepare & Give Seminars" CORNER POCKET STC'.R.'E'I!A!R IJU S'E'R'VlC'ES • PERSOS'AL&-B'USINW i.};tiERS •REPOR~,!lESUMESPHOTOCOPIES •RATESN2AiOTIABLE 434 E.

They had to be helped free by th~ staff and, after thanking everyone, sheepishly left the building. A few minutes later they returned and announced their intention of robbing the •bank, but none of the staff believed them. When, at first, they demanded 5,000 pounds, the head cashier laughed at them, convinced it was a practical joke. Then one of the men jumped over the counter and fell awkwardly on the floor,. clutching at his ankle. The other two made their getaway, but got trapped in the revolving doors for a second time, desperately pushing the wrong way. THE LEAST SUCCESSFUL BANK ROBBER EASIEST CRIME TO DETECT Failures from page 13 THE WORST.JURY................ . pornographic bookseller was A murder trial at Manitoba in February 1978 was well advanced, when one juror revealed that he was completely deaf and did not have the remotest clue what was happening. The judge, Mr Justice Solomon, asked him if he had heard any evidence at all and, when there was no reply, dismissed him. The excitement which this caused was only equaUed when a second juror revealed that he spoke not a word of English. A fluent French speaker, he exhibited great surprise when told, after two days, that he was hearing a murder trial. The trial was abandoned when a third juror said that he suffered from both conditions, being simultaneously unversed in the English language and nearly as deaf as the first juror. The judge ordered a retrial. Not wishing to attract attention to himself, a bank robber in 1969 at Portland, Oregon, wrote all his instructions on a piece of paper rather than shout. "This is a hold-up and I've got a gun," he wrote and then held the paper up for the cashier to read.

This group of two brothers, Dick (bass) and Dave Pruitt (guitar) play along side drummer Pat O'Connor produce a rapport that adds to the bands high performance. Since 1985, when the group lost a member and changed to a threesome. The players decided to restructure their sets and add some danceable material into their extensive repertoire of classical blues. An extensive touring schedule allows them to develop a larger audience since they have little airplay. It seems that they have even played the Blue Note in Toronto and other major location all over the United States, the majority being in Texas. They have played beside such band as The Band, Canned Heat and Willie Dixon in their extensive travels of the american highways. It should be note that they did produce a record in 1984 called Need Me A Car under the label of Blind Pig Records. A number of guest performers, Earl Cate and Henry Clay, have toured with them. Also worth noting is that the Bel Airs are will to play with local talent in for a few numbers. This only enlarges upon the fact that they have a large repertoire. Years of hard work have been put in by the Bel Airs to establishing their authenticity. The sets used by the band show this concern· of the Blues art and a honest appreciation of the blues traditions. The main feature of the band is the brothers' abilities to compliment each others skills. All this should lead to a highly satisfying show.a The Blues are back! I j Engineeri~ Opportuni •.......

Joining competitive or recreational clubs may appeal to you. In the past L.U. has featured such clubs as diving, swimming, rugby, soccer, skiing,running, and martial arts. L.U. athletics moves into a period of transition · this season. Nor'Wester varsity teams will be competing in the OUAA Conference as opposed to the GPAC league of former years. Not only are varsity teams undergoing changes, but also the staff composition at the Sanders Fieldhouse. Last year's Director of Athletics, ·Ken Coffin, has left L.U. to accept a position in Southern Ontario. Filling this void is Dr. Norm Lavoie, who will assume the role of the Director of the School of Physical Education and Athletics. Other newcomers include by Janet Fuchek Welcome back! After a summer of ieisurely pursuits, it's time to become accustomed to the routine of school life once again. For some L. U. students this means balancing a rigorous schedule of varsity practices and games throughout the 1988-1989 season. Tryouts for Nor'Wester teams (men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball, and men's wrestling) are already underway. Others opt to engage in sports on a more recreational basis. Intramural sports satisfies this interest. The program at L.U. is designed to provide opportunities for students and staff to participate in competitive and non-competitive, organized and informal sports activities. The primary aim is "to have an activity for every student and every student in an activity." During the fall term hockey, touch football, soccer, volleyball, and curling are offered. Aerobics, slow pitch, and a golf tourney are also on the line-up. Make a visit to the Intramural Office; located in the University Center near the Security Office to take advantage of this opportunity for fun and fitness. Claude Lapre as women's volleyball coach, replacing K.D. Livingstone, and Clyde Tuyl as athletic co-ordinator. Several local athletes are caught up in the excitement of the 1988 Summer Olympics. These elite few have been chosen to represent Canada in Seoul. Decathlete Mike Smith of Kenora, disabled competitor Terry Robinson of Dryden, and cyclists Curt Harnett and Scott Timmerman are among those attending the Games. Judoists Sandra Greaves and Kevin Doherty will also be venturing to Korea as competitors. Thunder Bay cyclist Curt Harnett will once again represent Canada at the Summer Olympics. He's gearing up for the sprints and his favourite event, the one kilometre race. Hamett, represeri. ting Team Lycra, claimed a number of stunning performances on the Grand Prix circuit this past summer. He earned a silver in· the kilo time trial at the Los Angeles Olympics in '84. Harnett scored a gold in the one km and a bronze in the sprints at the Pan-Am Games in Indianapolis in '87. Scott timmerman of Thunder Bay will also compete at the Olympics in the 100 km team trial. The Canadian track pursuit cycling team suffered disappointing news, The Canadian Olympic Association ruled that the four-man team would not be allowed to compete in the 1988 Summer Olympics. This decision was based on the team's inability to achieve the 4:25 COA standard by a mere 1.7 seconds! Former L. U. wrestler, Harry Curtis, was supposed to accompany the cyclists as their coach. He figures that the team actually attained the standard, considering the conversion factor between different tracks. Curtis remains steadfast that this group could have finished within the top ten in a field of 26 teams. In the world of boxing, world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was forced to postpone his fight against Frank Bruno on October 22 in London. Tyson incurred injuries in his recent car accident and is expected to remain out of commission for one to two months. Sugar Ray Leonard has given new meaning to the phrase "coming out of retirement." After announcing his intention several times throughout his career to retire from boxing, Leonard is back in action. He is presently undertaking a new venture - a seven-city tour promoting his November 7 fight at Caesar's Palace in Las V~gas. His opponent is World Boxing Council lightheavyweight champion Donny Lalonde of Winnipeg, the 4-1 underdog. Speaking of retirement, Canadian ski jumper Horst Bulau had announced his plan to retire from the sport. •Instead, Bulau intends to act as apprentice coach. His career highlights included a seventh place finish in the 90 m at the Calgary Olympics, a second spot in World Cup standings one season and two thirds. Wayne Gretzky continued to make headlines this past summer. Not only did his recent marriage to actress Janet Jones attract attention, but the trade of the Edmonton Oiler star to the Los Ange Ies Kings mushroomed into an item of controversy, especially amongst fans. , The 1988-1989 season should prove to be a memorable episode in the history of LU athletj.cs. Plan to be a part of the sports scene and show your Nor'Wester spirit, either as a spectator or participant. a Dr. Norm Lavoie· Dire-ctor of Physical Education and Athletics - by Noel Keag The newly appointed director of the school of Physical Education and Athletics is Dr. Norm La Voie. Dr. LaVoie was chosen for his 17 years experience at Lakehead University and his outstanding credentials rroving beyond a shadow o a doubt that he is capable of handling the newly developed position. The position originated directly from results of a committee set up by Dr. Rosehart to independently study the Department of Athletics and the School of Physical Education. The Committee concluded that these two separate areas should be united, arguing that better or•ganization and more efficient co-ordination of the various programmes would occur. The amalgamation occurred and Dr.LaVoie took office on · July 3rd of this year. Prior to this posting Dr. LaVoie· had joined the L.U. staff as a professor in 1972 in the Physical Education Department. By 1978 he had been appointed the director of the school of Physical Education settling here until 1982 when he took office as th~ co-or- Dr. Norm Lavole 1 j '"'- -............. -...... _.._. - -- ~ .... - - .. -- r - _.., r r .. - -. - 1--r..,. - • ~~ . -- - -- - - ---------- dina tor of the Sports letes from isolated areas into competition in major centres.

The music continues, beckoning, until the buzz of a power tool breaks the spell. Welcome to Cornwall School. Cornwall is the new home to some 125 students enrolled in the Departments of Music and Visual Arts. School renovations ·began in the second week in August and will continue for at least another week. The new location was made available by the same ministry access fund which supplied the education portables. According to Dr. Glen Car• ruthers, Chairman of the Music Department, · the inadequate space availal>le to the fine arts disciplines at the university caused the departments involved to "jump at the pssibility of ~e move". The school is currently on a two.year lease from the Lakehead Board of Education. Carruthers said that he felt the response to the move to be very positive. 'We are amazed at ow- good fortune", he said. James DeVuono, President of the Lakehead University Music Association echoed Carruthers' feelings but also mentioned some of the "teething problems" involved-in the move. return to Cornwall after a full" day of classes is not a pleasant thought either. Said Mel Henderson, a third· year music student, "We feel it's too much to come back and forth for practice." However, practice time will no doubt be improved wit~ the installation of six new Wanger sound-proof cubicles on the main floor of the school.

De Vuono also pointed to the off-campus status as having disadvantages "1 don't know if they. wanted to put us away from the mainstream",he joked.

The school itself provides two floors and e basement that have been adapted· to meet the needs oJ the fine arts students. The main floor houses the administrative offices, the student lounge,· the recital hall and the practice room. Upstairs are the classrooms which provide more than adequate space for the music and visual arts departments . Downstairs is the pottery room and the saw- room to construct stretchers and for sizing boards. Coinci_ding with the move was a $150,000 Northern Fund grant that has been split between the two departments. As a result, any new equipment installed has been top of the line. This includes the compact disk player· and visual arts viewers in the library. The library itself is currently in the process of being set up, complete with a terminal that will have access to the one on campus. Despite the growing pains, students seem generally pleased with the new location. M·a ckenzie's Crew to .be Fed by Nancy Adderley It is an irony that Alexander Mackenzie himself would appreciate. Northern Stores Incorporated, formerly of the Hudson's Bay Company, wiU provide $1/4 million in food to the voyageurs involved in the Alexander Mackenzie Bicentennial Expedition. The expedition is set to take place over the next five years and will trace the route, by canoe, taken by Mackenzie in his explorations to the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Coast. Mackenzie was in the employ of the North West Company when he mad·e these voyages. Its rivalry with the Hudson's Bay Comp any coloured much of Canada's fur trade past. Northern Stores, having made the break with the Hudson's . Bay Company intends to Teassume the name of the North West Company, Mackenzie's employer. The $1/4 million pledge resulted from the National Sponsor's ·conference held September 25 at Old Fort William. Professor Jim Smithers, Expedition Leader, called the donation by Northern Stores a "substantial commitment" as it will furnish the necessary food items for all five years of the expedition. This summer, expedition participants planned a food menu that would supply them with the 5,000 calorie diet necessary to see them through the rigorous exercise of paddling the canoes. The food bas to be available on-the -run to 45 participants over 124 days. The historic diet of pemmican, partridge and berries has been replaced with GORP(Good Old Raisins and Peanuts), canned meat, and peanut butter. Aside from food sponsorship, the conference attracted a wide variety of other interests which Smithers said he hoped "will stimulate the interest that will translate into support." Not only did it showcase the student participants to possible supporters, it also gave the students a chance to see the "largeness of the project and the various interests involved." "It is sort of like eating an elephant, it is so big",he said. by the expedition will aid in establishing a historical commemorative trail on the route to the Pacific Coast. This would be the concrete legacy of the expedition. Government has been supportive. The Albertan Minis try of Culture and Multiculturalism bas committed $10,000 towards the first leg of the journey, 19881989, up the Mackenzie River. • Among the interests is that of the Alexander Mackenzie Trail Association. It hopes that the publicity generated Smithers also cites the Ontario government as being willing to show its generosity. .Lynn McLeod, our own mini- ster of Colleges and Universities has agreed to host an inter-departmental meeting of government officials to promote the project. Already the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Communications has put forward a $10,000 grant to assist in the making of the period costumes. Tourism and Recreation will aid in the costs of the modem materials required for the expedition. Th.e Superintendent of Curriculum from the city of London was also in attendance. He wishes to get his staff involved in the educational aspect of the project_in developing a national voyageur- curriculum to be taught in ~Canadian schools, as based on the information provided by the expedition. His staff will buy one of three canoes to be used in the expedition. Afterwards it will become a part of the educational program. Smithers hopes that even more interests will be represented as the expedition progresses. �Editorial President's Report An open letter to Lynn McLeod (Minister of Colleges & Universities) and the Right Honourable Premier David Peterson. Re: The Business of Education (or let's keep the student poor and stupid) Dear Sir/Madam: I've just received my OSAP assessment and.quite frankly, I'M LMD. You see, I just don't know where to start spending that $649 your government was so gracious to LEND ME! Perhaps it's the fact that I don't fit in to your government's neat little 3 or 4 year plan. This must be what you have in mind because after 4 years (whether I apply for assistance or not) I'm not eligible for grants. . Or maybe it's not the "grant eligibility" thing at all. You see, that doesn't really matter because the Student Awards Branch will tell me just what I need to borrow. I own a car? ... or a stereo system? ... or a camera? Or maybe my parents (if I'm "dependant") have a little nest egg they've been banking for retirement? Either I don't tell you about it or else they or I'll be forced to sell it to provide me with the necessary funds to educate myself. / The Need For Reciprocity The proposal by LUSU to share athletic facilities with Gonfederation College is a good plan 1Vhich should be followed with a lot of attentio'1. However, this plan should not be used as an excuse to avoid fixing the facilities already in existence. The:re have been a lot of complaints about the condition of the equipment in the weight room at the field house the past couple of years. It is the opinion of many students that the equipment is, in fact, quite unsafe. Coming from the portion of the population which leads one of the most haphazard of lives, this statement should not be taken lightly. The problem seems to be in the funding. The recently acquired hydraulic equipment is for the most part considered useless, even though quite a bit of LUSU money was used in this purchase. In other words, maybe this money could be directed at improving the materials which already exist. The answer to this for LUSU is reciprocity. This would mean that LU students could use the equipment at the coJlege at no charge and the college students could use ours. (Refer to story on page six.) Theref9re, we would have use of their indoor track and weight room etc. while they will use our swimming facilities. There is a problem, according to the manager of the college fitness centre, Larry Vezina, that there would not be enough room for the influx of LU students. Norm LaVoie, the director of Phys Ed and Athletics at LU states similar problems with booking space, etc. However, this shpuld not be too much of a problem. Theoretically, if reciprocity does happan, the number of people who use the facilities will not go up. Therefore, the same number of people should be using the facilities at the same time; the difference would be that in each location there will be a mixture of LU and Con College students. . Reciprocity is an issue which will take a while until it is resolved. Each institution will have to go through 1 a lengthy review and decision process and have to work out an agreement satisfactory to both sides. All this will take time. In the meantime, the Physical Education and Athletic department should take a look at the facilities and ,spend some money on improving the equipment. Maybe . LUSU can give some help both time-wise and financially to this end. As I mentioned before, reciprocity should not replace improvement. With a little time and effort, reciprocity will work. The important thing for LUSU and LU to keep in mind is that reciprocity should be an end in itself, not as a means of avoiding repairs on our own equipment.

They do not occur in isolated pockets somewhere far away. Even here in Thunder Bay, we are part of the global problems (and some would say we are also part of the solution). The gases released from our cars contribute to the Greenhouse Effect and deplete the ozone layer as much as the cars in Toronto, but it's easier to ignore the problem here because we rarely find ourselves stuck in a cloud of exhaust during a traffic jam. Not only is it difficult to relate our private lives to global environmental issues, but it is even more dificult for us to relate our lives here, in the land of never ending autumn rains, to Third World problems and issues, such as poverty, flooding, rain forest deforestation, ad infinitum. And yet, our lives are intricately connected with Third World development and the global environment. Our demand for exotic woods, coffee and cheap hamburgers is proportionate share of the world's natural resources. In fact, we use such a large proportion of the resources that the earth is already too small to sustain its human population, if everyone were to live a lifestyle equivalent to ours in Thunder Bay. These resources that we consume form a direct link between us and the developing countries. es_ contributing, in part, to the deforestation of tropical rain forests (you'll hear more about this in a later article). Hard as it may be for us to realize, the choices we make in our daily lives are reflected in the development of the Third World. In the fall of 1983,The United Nations established the World Commission on Environment and Development to examine and define the links between economics, development and the environment. After four intensive years of world-wide hearings, with input from thousands of people (scientists, research institute staff, experts, senior government officials and the average guy off the street or out of the jungle), the findings of this remarkable commission were published in the book "Our Common Future". The commission (also referred to as the Brundtland Commission after chairman, Gro Brundtland, Norway's female Prime Minister) stated in an incredibly straight-forward m~nner that we must find a way to live and to develop our global resources in a fashion which "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future ·generations to meet their own needs." Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? This concept of living without jeopaTdizing future generations. was termed "sustainable development" by the Brundtland Commission. The concept of sustainable development is also a global concept. We must meet the basic needs of life for all people now and in the future (if that isn't global, then I don't know what is). The second point that the commission emphasizes is that the earth has finite resources, something else which we tend to ignore. We no longer live in an age where we can jump in a ship a~d sail off the edge of the known world and find ourselves in a pristine, resource wealthy environment, with which to replenish our flagging resources back home. The commission says that we must continue to develop and grow, but there must be a more equitable distribution of resources. We, in the in• dustrialized world, use a dis- Positive Action: The Brundtland Report states that "sustainable global development requires that those who are the most affluent adopt lifestyles within the planet's ecological means." This implies that we must become intelligent, discriminating consumers. We must consider the impact a purchase will have, not only on our own pocketbook, but more importantly on our global environment. Establishing this connection is rather complicated because it means that we must look beyond the product on the shelf to its origin, but it is worth the effort.

Saradhi Puttagunta's critique on the LUSU fall movie line-up, I feel I must let the student body know that this reporter has failed badly in his duties. First of all, "Good Morning Vietnam" was shown as part of LUSU's Orientation schedule. Because this schedule was filling up quite quickly, we had to show it on a week night. "As darkness descended on the UC Theatre last Wednesday, "Good Morning Vietnam" started playing to a huge crowd of ... oh, about thirty people." Not quite. Seventythree students and three nonstudents attended the first showing. I'll admit that's not a huge crowd, but I just wanted to get the facts straight. By the way, the second night's showing was to 124 students and 6 non-students. -Still not terrific, but we tried. Second: ''Why the change to weekday nights?" Who said we did!

Randy said that he has talked to students about the idea and that "a lot of people are interested." At present, reduced rates are available for LU or ConCollege students using each other's facilities. However, there is a concern that LU should offer a wider choice and better quality of fitness facilities, so that students do not have to buy memberships elsewhere. be lacking at LU is art adequate weight room. Yozipovic, who is also a member of the Athletic Advisory Board, called weight room conditions "terrible'', citing a lack of space, old and sometimes broken equipment and unsafe conditions. Yozipovic said that money spent on hydraulic machines in 1987 (contributed by LUSU) should have been used to upgrade the old equipment. Yozipovic knows of many students who prefer to go to other gyms in the city, but students who cannot afford memberships elsewhere have no place else to go. ''Where would you go? They pay for it," he added. , The complaints against the .weight room are numerous: bench posts that are too close, lack of bars and plates, improper layout of plate holders, insufficient greasing of equipment, cluttered conditions, broken machines, thin and frayed benches. These conditions are not very conducive to weight training, as student Craig Hachey explained, "The atmosphere really helps you work out and affects your intensity - .(at LU) it's a tough environment to work out in." Hachey is prepared to buy a membership elsewhere. Roy Christensen, a fulltime student, is also looking to join a different gym. As Christensen pointed out, "It's n·o t a commercial type of equipment. You won't see in any commercial gym the kind of stuff they have here - this stuff isn't safe. The amount of use this gym gets, I think it warrants a lot more room." As for reciprocity, he felt it would be a "compromise" to getting better in-house facilities. Melissa Coates, a first year student, echoed the same concerns and said that LU's weight room is "one of the worst gyms there is." Sh~ also criticized the hydraulic gym as being "useless", saying that the money should have been spent on the major bodybuilding equipment rather than let its condition worsen. With reciprocity, Coates believes the college "would get all the business." David Newman and Dwight Winters were not impressed by the quality of LU's weight room either. They were unhappy with the "shoddy condition" of equipment and the new hydraulic machines that sit unused. Both agreed that reciprocity would be beneficial, giving LU students access to the college bubble, while college students can use LU's pool and basketball court. As Winters commented, it would be a "trade-off." Roxanne Kyle, a first year phys ed student, said that she was under the impression that LU and ConCollege already shared their facilities. Now she has chosen to buy a college membership, in order to use the greater variety of weights, the Nautilus room and the bubble. She supports the idea of reciprocity. Bill Keeler agreed that some of the weight room's equipment is outdated. The universal machine was broken for over four months this past summer and, due to its age, it was difficult to repair. Concerning the complaints about cramped quarters, Keeler said that LU's weight room is bigger than those at other universities he has seen. Keeler stated that the fieldhouse is looking to expand, but there is only so much money to go around. They are planning to add more free weights and there is a "possibility" of some new equipment. "An expansion is definitely something that's going to have to be looked at sooner or later," commented Keeler. The ideal solution, according to Norm LaVoie, would be a whole new building complete with an indoor track and arena, but as LaVoie said, "We're doing everything we can right now." Reciprocity would allow students to use the combined resources of LU and ConCollege: Olympic-size pool, gymnasium, indoor track and tennis courts, squash courts, Nautilus machines and weight rooms. Any plan to implement reciprocity would first have to deal with several problems. Larry Vezina, manager of the college fitness centre, said that the biggest problem would be the availability of space. His facilities, aside from student and faculty use, must accommodate another 2000 members in the community. Also, any agreement to share resources with LU would have to be "mutually beneficial" but Vezina added that reciprocity may become a reality in different areas. Norm LaVoie, director of phys ed and athletics at LU, stated that reciprocity would seem to be a "natural thing" between the two schools, noting that the fieldhouse is already "stretched to capacity." Seeing as how LaVoie and other personnel are new to their positions, there has not been any opportunity to consider the idea. Bill Keeler, supervisor of athletic facilities at LU, said that LU's needs would first have to be determined and program scheduling considered before accommodating other students. Presently, the fieldhouse is booked solid with varsity sports, clubs, phys ed classes intramurals, local groups .and highschools, ......:... as well as public members. Keeler also pointed out that a special committee would have to be set-up to budget for both facilities. ::.... ~Does he support --.. -=-~-~ reciprocity? "I think anything like that would be beneficial if it's feasible," he responded. Right now, the idea is sitting at the lower levels of dis• cussion between student councillors of LU and ConCollege.

Attention Foresters: "A Job From Hell" by Tim Stanl.ey (ISIS:The Gazette) If the terms "skreef', "duff' and ''highbalJ" ring a bell with you then are probably one of the growingnumber·· ofstudents who call treeplanting their summer job. Tree planting, though, is far more than just a summer job, as those who have experienced it will surely attest. The tree-planting industry in Canada relies extensively on university students to fill its planter and foreman positions. At a glance, the job seems well sui~d for students considering the start of the planting season coincides with the end of spring exams. The season usually lasts about 10 weeks, giving the planter a long summer break before classes resume. And these is a real potential for huge financial earnings. But planting is a risky venture in an unpredictable industry that sees as many horror stories as success stories. Most tree planting in Canada occurs in British Columbia and Northern Ontario. Under provincial reforestation laws, forestry-product companies must replant the areas of wood~ land that they cut within a certain time period. These companies generally contract to reforestation outfits to do the planting from them. Paying a specified price per tree planted. The contracts often run over a $100,000 and reforestation companies bid competitively to get them. Most planters in Ontario end up receiving from seven to 11 cents per tree depending on a variety of factors, including the species of tree and the type of land being planted. Planters in B.C. are usually paid more per tree because of the more rugged, mountainous terrain. The actual act of planting a tree into soil is a fairly simple task. The difficulty lies in the hundreds of job-related hazards that can confront the planter, making the process a slow and even brutal affair. On any given day the planter might be forced to cope with pleas3lltries like knee-deep swamp mud, ravenous blackflies or mosquitoes, extreme heat or cold, rain or snow, excruciating boredom, defective tools and, worst of all, a wet sleeping bag. The obvious question that confronts all planters at one time or another is "why am I doing this job from hell?" The general response from most planters centers around the truly unique and invaluable rewards and lessons that can be reaped from the ordeal. The main reason planting continues to attract students is definitely the money, but the intangible benefits should not be discounted. If trees planting is nothing else, it is an excellent exercise in self-actualization. Continued on page 12... �Health Care in ·the North By George Krebs , Health care in Northern Ontario, or rather the lack of it, is an issue that has caught the attentiati of the three political parties with Premier David Peterson coming under attack for failing to solve the. shortage of health care professionals. Health care conditions in the north were labelled as ''Third World" by a recent NDP task force studying the subject. In a move to play a greater role as a centre for training health care workers, Lakehead University has embarked on a joint venture with McMaster University of Hamilton to develop postgraduate degrees in occupational therapy and physical therapy., A number of students enrolled in occupational therapy or physical therapy at McM aster would come to Lakehead for one term of instruction in theory, as well as complete a clinical placement in a health care institution in Northwestern Ontario. Implementation of the programs is expected to be in 1990/91. The degree programs are the result of a -merger between Mohawk College's diploma courses in occupational therapy and physical therapy and McMaster's Bachelor of Health Sciences degree and would be based in McMaster's Faculty of Health Sciences. At first, Lakehead expects to accommodate thirty students per term and that number would increase as the programs grow in demand. Geoffrey Weller, V.P. Academics, hopes that when the programs are fully running, a new building might be built to house the necessary facilities. Lakehead Pre,s ident Bob Rosehart said that these programs are being "heralded as an example of models that might be used to other healthrelated fields." He added that medicine might be one.' • The fields of occupational and physical therapy have been singled out by the medical community as in need of expansion. A 1985 report by the Ontario Ministry of Health showed a manpower shortage in the two professions, especially in the north where the vacancy rate was cited as 42.2% and growing. Employment opportunities in both fields are increasing in Canada and the United States. Funding for the degree programs has yet to be resolved, but the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities has already pledged its support.

The new course is the result of a Ministry of Colleges and Universities directive that all university programs must lead to a degree. Hence, an internal review of all undergraduate programs at LU was conducted and the diploma in Library Technology was singled out for changes. It was decided to create a three year degree program as part o( LU's "Five Year Plan". This program is the first of its kind in Ontario and one of two in Canada. Concordia University in Montreal offers a similar course. When the seven core library and information studies courses are combined with a Bachelor of Arts background, graduates are qualified to work in many types of libraries. For example, electives in History would qualify a graduate to work in the Old Fort William archives.

Saradhi Puttagunta, a contributing writer to the Argus, visited the Mandapam refugee camp • in southern India to interview Tamil refugees. The following is Saradhi's report on the war in Sri Lanka. P. Saradhi Puttagunta Subramanian Saraswathi is staying in a refugee camp at Mandapam, a small town which is about one hour by train out of Rameswaram, India. With tears in her eyes, she describes how the Sinhalese air force bombed her native city ofJaffna, capital of the Sri Lankan Northern province. Her story is repeated by Shiva Kumar, a worker in a Jaffna shop, who talks of property being destroyed by the bombings. Saraswathi also talks of tanks coming and firing into the villages. "The Sinhalese soldiers have no courage to face the people," she said. It was incidents like these that forced her and some 150,000 other Tamils to flee from the war in Sri Lanka. The Mandapam Transit Camp was set up in 1983 when •the escalation of the war caused an exodus of Tamils from the northern and eastern provinces of Sri Lanka, where they make up the majority of the popula. tion. They came across the Pamban Channel in private boats and were placed at Mandapam and other branch camps. To understand why they are here, one must look at the history of the war. Historical Background The Sinhalese-speaking Bud• dhists, who dominate Sri Lanka, have been 'in conflict with the minority Tamilspeaking Hindus long before the war began. The Tamil kings founded the ancient capital of Anuradhapura in the third century B.C. In 1621, the Portuguese captured tlte Tamil Kingdom of Jaffna and hung the Tamil -King Sankili. Eventually the island passed into the hands of the Dutch and then the_ British. After independence in February of 1948, the first Prime Minister, D.S. Senanayake, appealed to the Tamils to accept the new Soulbury Constitution and declared on behalf of the Sinhalese: "I give the minority communities the sincere assurance that no harm need you fear at our hand in Sri Lanka."* The Tamils accepted this promise only to have the tables turned on them. Tamils who worked on plantations· were stripped of their citizenship in 1948 and then disenfranchised in 1949 by the new Sinhala government. This was foJlowed by enforced regulations r'equiring proof of citizenship in 9rder to obtain employment in the public and private sectors, travel documents, licences and for participating in business OJ other .·Page·8-A'Fgus--'13' October;-1988 activities.

The government provided clothing, food, sanitation, shelter, water, and _electricity. To keep them from getting bored and possibly causing trouble, some refugees were given training in tailoring, cycle mechanics, and radio/ TV mechanics. This is not without cost to the Indian government. Maintaining the camp costs approximately 3 lakhs (about $30,000 Canadian) every fortnight. . Going Back Home As of August 18, the Indian government sent the few r~maining refugees back to Sri Lanka. The refugees at Mandapam said they were convinced that normalcy had returned to their country and they have accepted going back. But is it reaUy 'business as usual'in Sri Lanka? According to Indian news sources, Jaffna seems peaceful but the Tigers are still a powerful influence there. LTTE leaders still collect funds from local shopkeepers and businessmen and also decide prices for food articles. They also force young people to join their ranks. Just last August in J affna, four youths who refused to join the L'ITE were kidnapped and slain. A military barrack in Sri Lanka The LTTE create chaos through terror. In August, they assassinated over a dozen local Tamils suspected of being IPKF informers. Citizens have been warned that they will be killed if they even wave at the IPKF columns. In the Kalawanchchikudi area, a labourer was abducted beca use he refused to give refuge to one of the Tiger extremists. His bullet-riddled body was found the next day.** • At this rate, people .will be too terrified to go to the polls come election day at the end of the year. 1 As for the Tamils of Sri Lanka, they face an uncertain future. They face the wrath and discrimination of the Sinhalese in the south. Yet the militant groups who claim to represent them are terrorizing them with racketeering and extortion. With the inevitable. withdraw of the IPKF, there is no certainty as to which way events will tum. The Tamils have faced centuries of oppression; they will probably face even more in the years to come. *"The Hindu", Sept. 2, 1988. ** Prabhu Chalwa and S.H. Venkatramani.

Their music has spanned an entire generation. They were first heard 21 years ago when 'Days of Future Passed' was released. Songs such as 'Tuesday Afternoon' and 'Nights in White Satin' have become classics. By 1974, they were firmly established as a major musical power and so far, fifty million of their albums have been sold worldwide. It was with these premises in mind that I listened to their most recent offering - 'Sur La Mer'. It is by no means a poor album, at _times one can hear flashes of their former glory. However, one has to ask if the success of this album is just due to the momentum or the high quality of the work. The first song, 'I Know You're Out There Somewhere' is a fine song - it has a good ·sound and the lyrics are will though out, Justin Hayword's voice sounds as clear as it was in 1967 and the group's usage of synthesizers is super. · The entire album continues on in this manner without ever really straying off on a tangent. The album is extremely safe in that no one should really hate it but no one should really love it. Jon Anderson of the group Yes said that he feels that he could continue to write popular music well into his old age.

Eventually I gained a mental confidence by setting a goal for a number of trees I wanted to plant and then going out and achieving it," said planter Brian Swales. "I know I proved something to myself by planting. It's a challenge .to make as much money as you can. The kind of benefits you get fromtaking on a challenge can build character and self-·esteem. It's the hardest work I've ever done and it showed me what I'm capable of, mentally and physically," said Fraser Hore, who planted in. B.C. • Tree planting becomes a competition · among the planters. Sometimes putting in more trees than the rest of your crew becomes as important to you as the money you're earning. As a result, comparisons of good and bad planters will surface. This is a complicated issue. Due to the planter's reliance on quality planting land, efficient tree supply, adequate tools and a host of other factors beyond his or her control, it is often inappropriate to compare one planter to another in terms of volume of trees planted per day. The more useful question would be "what are the key qualities that good planters must possess?" Invariably, planters cite mental attitude and ability to concentrate above any other qualities that separate the good planters (highballers) from the rest. "It's easy to get distracted and let your mind wander in~ stead of focusing on the job at hand. You body can handle the physical strain but you have to push yourself mentally if you really want to make it worth your while," said Iain MacKinnon, a veteran tree planter. Hore simply puts it, "you must be tolerant of the bugs and adverse conditions and concentrate on planting trees." After a while most planters will tell you that planting is about 90 per cent mental. The problem many planters encounter is they've never has any experience that can adequately prepare them for that type of work. It's not unusual for companies to lose more than half of their planters before the contractis completed. "If you let the bugs bother you then you are defeating yourself. Accept the job for what it is, which is hell," laughs Swales. Tree planting companies will never be accused of discrimination. Some companies will take anyone crazy enough to spend two months in the bush. Women have taken to planting at increasing rates and are beginningto appear in executive and supervisory roles. Martha Turner, a second• year planter in Ontario, com• mented on particular disadvantages the female planter might face. ''Men and women are definitely equally competent in getting high numbers and good quality.

Ironically, in a discipline coined "the gentle way," it is Sandra Greaves' aggressiveness and strength that prevail. The Japanese art of judo combines throws, holddowns, locks, and chokes to score points in competition. This twenty-five year old athlete made her debut at the Thunder Bay Budokan Judo Club, which at the time met at the Confederation College Fitness Centre. Her sister Susan Oksanen introduced her to the sport at the age of thirteen. "I prefer judo because it's the actual application of the martial arts," Greaves stated to explain her fascination with judo. "In other styles, if techniques are actually applied, they can be fatal. The lack of fatality allows someone to throw. The philosophy of mutual welfare and benefit is appealing," she concluded. by Janet Fuchek ''.A single false move loses l l f Greaves continued her training under Coach Bill Doherty for several years. After graduating from grade 12 at Hammorskjold High School, she moved to B.C. to work with the navy. Following a one-year layoff frdm the sport,·her judo fever struck again. She made a comeback and fought forB.C. , winning the nationals. Greaves left the West Coast for Toronto, where she had a contract with the government. She has been a member of the Ontario team ever since. To facilitate her program, she relocated in Montreal for a two-year stint at the Training Centre. Last season this talented fighter moved to Ottawa, a more suitable location for a female Olympic judoka. . "Ottawa has the largest nucleus ·o f women in , the sport," she reported. "The women's national coach, Tina Takahashi, also lives there." "It's hard to find a coach with a genuine interest in women that's not secondary," she continued. "It's good to work for someone with that commitment." In 1980 Greaves earned her black belt rank before a grading board in Toronto. She received her third dan in January 1988 on the basis of her tournament results and ability. Winning the Pan-Am's in Indianapolis last year and a Bronze at an Austrian meet this summer were highlights awares for armlocks, which have been her downfall in the last three competitions.

There's "A Single False Move Loses the Game" �( . Lady Nor'Westers Crowned Voll_ e yball Cham by Ron Murphy The Lakehead University Lady Nor'Westers flattened the Vermillion College Ironwomen to chip away, in a real nailbiter, at the Northland College Lumberjills. . On Saturday, October 8th, the Sanders Fieldhouse was electric with the prospect of atournament win for LU. That was something that had never been done before the hosting of the Nor'Wester Thanksgiving Invitational. The previous evening's action had seen the LU Nor'Westers defeat the Vermillion Ironwomen three games straight, only suffer a loss toNorth land. This occurred after they went the full five games of the match. Vermillion was unsu,ccessful in their second crack at Lakehead the following day in the semi-final, losing three straight again. It was the last. game of the final match and the score was tied at 10 each for the Nor'Westers and Lumberjills of Minnesota. The game had looked like an easy win for LU when Deanne Geisler, a veteran of last year's -squad, stepped to the line to lead off for seven quick points. Northland had used up both time outs but were able to come from behind to take the lead. After four rotations, the visiting team made it ten over nine. Coach Claude Lapre used up his two time outs in giving final advice to the LU squad. As a result, they were able to settle down for some head-tohead combat. To tie it at 10 all, Corinne Kollman was to be stopped at one point when hers and Geisler's serves were turned over by two in a row over-the-centre infractions by LU. Sian Williams, a two-year veteran of Carleton's varsity team, was able to trade points with the Lumberjills, bu Kelly Williams was stopped to make it 11 each. Robyn Plett, later to be announced as the tourney's "Most Valuable Player," stepped to the line to deliver the serves that the Nor'Westers would convert to a two-point lead. Northland retaliated with a point of their own to push their score to within one for a score of 13 over 12. Leslie Ballan, on the firing line, enabled Lakehead to make the final two points for the kill. After an outstanding performance, it was appropriate that Sian Williams rifled that last spike. The final score was 15 over 12 in favour of the Nor'- e Westers for match and tour- cl u::~~.._.,.,....._..,.. nament championship - § history in the making. ,::::i [Stay tuned.

Fourteen countries will be represented at this event, hosted by the Fort William and Thunder Bay Figure Skating Clubs, acting on behalf of the Canadian Figure Skating Association. Those countries include: the United States, Russia, Czechoslovakia, Great Britain, France, East and West Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, Finland, Hungary, and Poland. In total, there will be 66 competitors in four fields: men's, women's, pair, and darice categories. Volunteers from the two local clubs, plus strong community involvement and regional support, ensure that this event will be enjoyable and extremely successful. The Clubs also draw on active participation from some 20 organizations throughout Northwestern Ontario. Amongst these, the Thunder Bay Multicultural Associal tion and the March of Dimes have expressed interest in helping. To date, 260 volunteers have signed up; however, .more are needed. A competition of this size and complexity must rely heavily on their invaluable volunteers. "People enjoy being involved in the community, especially in an event like this. The rewards from the involvement include gaining insight, experience and friendship. These people are our largest resource," says Sophie Kirk, Volunteers Chairman. .. .. .. ,. ., • .,..p, .... -- ... - -- · -- There are a variety of areas that might interest volunteers, such as: carpentry, electrical, mall promotions, transportation, catering, boutique, decorating, communications, office work, and the registration desk. According to·committee officials, the competition will not only be a pleasant experience for athletes but for the spectators as well. Richard Hill, Chairperson of Security, said that his team of 30 security personnel will be "quietly" in force. ' This volunteer staff is mostly comprised of students from the Law and Security courses at Confederation College who already have a keen sense of Jaw enforcement. To keep the atmosphere relaxed, security personnel will wear a coded I.D. tag rather than a uniform. Sun Life Skate Canada International representatives held their final preparation meeting at the Valhalla Inn recently. Thirty-five were in attendance, including CFSA members, Steering Commit'tee representatives, co-ordinators, and chairpersons of the event. • But what will the lucky ticket holders view? They will see an exciting, breth-taking international figure skating competition. They will see the well-planned and organized aspects of this prestiguous event implemented. They will be truly impressed claim organizers of this competition. The Sun Life Skate Canada International is just around the corner. With the 1988 Olympic and World Champions retired, the way is paved for a new dynasty to emerge. Those future champions will compete on this stage October 25-30 .

With an automated systern, students and faculty can search for and obtain materials easier and faster. The old traditional card catalogue was becoming "cumbersome" and outdated.

The weekly Drop-in Centre has received positive comments from students, faculty and local native community memhers. It was felt that the centre was a good concept and that it should operate on a permanent basis. The purpose of the centre is to create a place on campus where native students can rel~, enjoy a cup of coffee and make new friends. The centre is also used for educational sessions, cultural activities, career information and workshops. The Drop-in also provides programs and counselling in academics, social/emotional needs, special assistance, tutorials, orientation and liaison/careers. These programs help to develop a native support network, encouraging the students to remain in school and complete a degree. Weekly acti vi ties include: guest speakers, elders, films, workshops and cultµral activities.

It was felt that the drop-in should be more consistent, providing greater communication and organization among students, while enhancing their cultural identity. The new location should open in six weeks. At present, the Drop-in Centre operates in the Aesthetics Lounge on Thursdays from 10:30-3:30.

The OSAP office will process applications from about 52 institutions all over Ontario and wiB dffer improved service and quicker turnaround times. "Students will look at Thunder Bay in a different light, since this is where the dollars will come from. This is the real thing," said General Manager Jan Donio, Jan is a former Lakehead University Student Union president and Ontario Federation of Students executive. The OSAP office moved to Thunder Bay on September 6 and is temporarily located in the lower level of Keskus Mall, with the relocation to be complete by 1991. The present office houses Correspondence, Appeals, Operations, Payments, Client Services, Graduate Programs, Information and Administration departments. These wi11 be fo11owed by the Main Processing Section, which remains in Toronto. Hence, the actual processing of applications is being done in Toronto, using a twentythree year old mainframe batch computer. "This relocation wiJl allow the ministry to develop new and efficient processing systems when it moves into its new Red River Road complex (behind the Royal Bank) in 1991," Donio said. One such system is a prototype, currently being - A "Move North" for Student Awards Branch. tested at Ottawa University, which allows applications to be directly entered onto disks. In regards to the problems caused by the branch's relocation Donio said, "Our goal this year was to just cope with the applications and we have achieved it." "We receive about a thousand .c~lls a day, since this is our busiest part of the year", she added:. There wiU sti1I be the usual eight week turnaround time, but the overall delay is expected to be much less than in previous years. In addition to OSAP, the office deals . with several other loan, bursary and grant programs. The OSAP office is currently staffed by•41 people, 39 of whom are Thunder Bayites. Most of them are graduates of LU or Confederation College. "Having been recipients of OSAPthemselves, they have a commitment to the student community," said Donio. Most of the staff were recruited last year and sent for training to Toronto, where they worked closely with experienced personnel. As a manager sets up his department here, his counterpart will wind down operations in Toronto. Though the office is located in the city, students are not encouraged to approach the office directly, but rather to go photo Tod Scollie through the school's financial aid office. However students will be allowed to phone regarding any doubts or problems they have. "The university's financial aid officer is like a student's banker, and will know all about the loans and bursaries of that institution," explained Donio. This branch houses a financial aid office for smaller institutions which do not have one of their own. The new OSAP complex, which is expected to be completed in 30 months, is es- . timated to cost $ 27 million and create 300-350 new jobs. The ground floor of the impressive 4-storeyed structure will house a community centre with various recreational facilities. "Communities have been welcoming us (the relocated ministries) with open arms," commented Donio. "And in Thunder Bay, Lakehead and Con College have been very helpful in our relocation." . Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie and North Bay are some of the places selected for the other ministries. Donio feels confident that the new OSAP headquarters will mean better and efficient service for local students, and will improve Thunder Bay's economy and status. "Personally, I feel happy to be involved in student issues once again," she added. photo by Ted Scollie ..... . . - 06 Oc~~~r-Argus-Page 3 . .. . . �President's Report Whirlwind Dilemma Hurricane Gilbert has been prominent in the news ever since it hit Jamaica a couple of weeks ago. Because of this exposure, donations from all over the world have been pouring in to help the people get back on their feet. In Canada, many relief organizations and commercial corporations are giving financial support to the Jamaican Relief Fund; the Salvation Army recently donated $100,000. Even on campus the push is on, with the AFCASA Reggae Party which was held·on Sept.30 -- all proceeds are going to f,he fund. Now don't get me wrong, I think that these donations and fundraisers are very honourable and can do a lot of good. It seems obvious to help others in times of disaster. However, what many people overlook is the crises which take place in Canada -- even Thunder Bay -- each day. The problem is, simply, that there is not enough money to support the hungry and homeless right here in our own country. For example, the relief shelter on Victoria and Simpson St. is starting to gear up for another Thunder Bay winter by expanding its service from lunch every day to a supper and a place to stay overnight. However, it is finding that the funds for such a proposal is difficult. Although much ofthe project is funded by the various levels of government, a large part of the contribution is needed from the public in the form of donations. To date, there has only been one public donation. How can Canadians give away millions of dollars to foreign dilemmas before they can deal with their own? Yes, relief for Jamaica is a very worthy cause, but why overlook Canada in the process? There has probably been more money donated to Jamaica from Thunder Bay in the last couple of weeks than there was to the shelter all year! Does the building have to be knocked over by a -wind storm before anybody takes notice? • The problem is that this is viewed as a major and tragic disaster and must be looked after right away. The everyday life of the shelter seems drab in comparison, and therefore does not grab as much attention. In effect, it is the media that hypes the event and blows it out of proportion in relation t9 the day to day reality oflife around us. And it is not just shelters which_need attention -- various research groups, such as the Cancer Society, need constant support in order to keep operating. •So the next time you feel the need to donate to kn "emergency" cause, take a look arou,nd you and see where the emergency really is. Graham Strong The things that bother a press ... will ultimately bother the country. -David Halberstam • •• Page 4-&~s-06 Octob"er, 1988 OK, so I'm not regurgitating to you, the students, what transpires at weekly Board of Directors meetings. Instead, I've decided to write about some of my pet peeves and then report, on a monthly basis what is going on at these Board Meetings. The Board kicked things off in style by approving unanimously the purchase of a new stereo, system for THE STUDY. Randy Yozipovic's energies in this department were not wasted this summer. Ian Middleton moved to have meetings in the Agora so as to give students a better idea of what goes on at meetings. A valiant effort Ian, but we may have to move back indoors. The exposure has done some good but it is terribly hard to hear sometimes. VP External Affairs, Lorri Santa has been keeping the Board up to date on OFS and CFS happenings. This VP has done her homework. Be prepared to March on October 31. I just can't get enough of those speed bumps and paved parking lots.(and neither can the Board). First, getting onto campus is a LIVING HELL. Then, when you do get in, you can't find a place to park. IF YOU GOT A PARKING TICKET IN SEPTEMBER, DON'T PAY IT. IF YOU HAVE PAID FOR IT, YOU'LL GET A REFUND. Check this paper or notices around campus for details. Further, it seems the slick pavement on the lots is causing the odd fender bender. Looks like Administration's put the speed bumps in the wrong place. • John Gardiner hasn't got an office for his Philosophy Club (LUPA), but he has managed to get an excellent speaker for the University on November 10. U ofT prof Elizabeth Trott will be here the day before Remembrance Day to talk about, amongst other things, Health Care (or the lack ofit) in the north. Way to go, John. Just goes to show how a little persistence can _pay off. Now what about Charles Taylor? Committees, committees, committees. Yes, most of them are filled. We're still looking for the odd body (student, that is). See Lorraine in the LUSU office for applications. While we're on committees, I'd just like to add that an 'ad hoc' committee was also formed at the last meeting. This one will focus on our Student Union Building (SUB) and financial forecasting for the Student Union for years to come. VP Finance (88-89) Randy Yozipovic, VP Finance 1987-88 Charlotte Caron and myself will lead this endeavour. Invitations for two additional Board members will be accepted to fill this committee.

Saradhi Puttagunta Last week the Progressive Conservative Party - in anticipation of an upcoming election - placed a colourful ad in the paper encouraging students to vote for them when the time comes. The ad was keen on showing us how much the Mulroney government has done for students since 1984 by throwing a lot of impressive numbers out. Beware! Looks can be deceiving ; those numbers and facts are not necessarily as good as they look. The PC claims to have sunk $200 million into university research budgets. While this looks good for the PC government, federal funding in the last twenty years increased 7 times (of which non-Conservative governments were in power most of the time). In fact ever since 1984, federal expenditures in Research & Development have decreased in areas such as Fisheries & Oceans (down READER QUESTIONS PC CLAIMS from $135 to $103 million between 1984 and 1987) and the National Research Council (down from $287 to $254 million between 1984 and 1987). Members of the local engineering faculties complain that their research budgets were cut in 1984 and, even though the-funding was later reinstated, it did not correspond to the inflation rates. Thus, federal spending by the Tories in such areas actually went down. Furthermore, total expenditures in R&D went down from 37% in 1984 to 34% in 1987. If you do not believe this, check Statistics Canada under R&D indicators. The Tories claim that since 1984, federal spending on education has increased by $300 million. Yet according to St ats Canada's University Finance & Trend Analysis (1985-1986), while federal spending increased, total university expenditures as a percentage of GNP and per- South Africa. sonal income decreased beJust last week, Mulroney tween 1984 and 1986 showed his lack of deter(between 1.5% and 1.4%).

There is no question that homosexuals and lesbians are frequently the brunt of tasteless jokes and intimidation tactics. Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation has recently been added to the Ontario Human Rights Code. Anyone experiencing harassment of this kind is therefore protected. By way of definition and examples, you should now know what constitutes harassment. This knowledge is the first step in eradicating the problem. If you are a victim, you know that it is your basic human right to be free from harassment. However you must, no matter how difficult it may be, take the next step and SPEAK UP! Here are a few suggested ways for you to proceed. You choose the route(s) most comfortable for you. Pick up and read available literature (Student Service, LUSU office). Confide in a friend; someone you can trust and whose opinions you respect. Talking about it may ease the pain. If you can, voice your objections to your harasser. Sometimes an emphatic "no" will put an end to . the problem. Understandably that may seem impossible for you to do, or it may prove ineffective.

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but in the sandbox of the nursery school. These are the things I learned: share everything; play fair; don't hit people; put them back where you found them; clean up your own mess; don't take things that aren't yours; say you're sorry when you hurt somebody; wash your hands before you eat; flush; warm cookies and milk are good for you; live a balanced life; learn some and think some & draw & paint & sing & dance & play & work every day some. Take a nap every afternoon. when you go out in the world watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. e aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down, and the plant goes up & nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice, even the little seed in the plastic cup - they all die. So do we. And then remember the book about Dick & Jane & the 1st word you learned, the biggest word of all; LOOK. Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule & love & basic sanitation. Ecology & politics ~ sane living. '... 'hink of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies & milk about 3 o'clock and then lay down our blankets . for a 1ap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation & other nations to always put things back where we found them & cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands & stick together. from The Kansas City Ti.mes, by Robert Fulghum Page 8-Argus-06 October, 1988 "W hy did I choose to become a CMA?

Of the Nor'Westers' performance at this showdown, Coach Claude Lapre remarked, "It's the team's first time on the court with a lot of new things to learn. They showed a lot of discipline, having been together only two weeks." He added, "On the first day I could see they wanted to play good." In their debut against St. Catherine's, LU chalked up 15-6 and 15-12 victories. The Nor'Westers extended their streak to two of three sets in their rivalry with Gus- tavus Adolphus. After losing 9-15 in their first match-up, LU came back in fine form to clinch 15-9 and 15-12 wins. The Nor'Westers repeated this pattern by taking two against North Western 15-6. However, they got off to a rocky start with a 11-15 defeat in their initial clash. LU's performances Friday advanced them to the semifinals. The Nor'Westers culminated their first day of action by finishing 3-0 and first in their pool. • In the semi-finals Saturday LU squared off against St. Scholastica. They succumbed to their American opponents 7-15 and 10-15. A battle for third spot resulted in an initial setback 6-15 for LU against Northland College.

Ben Johnson: Triumph to Tragedy Johnson at the heart of the steroid scandal. photo by Denis Tzakis by Janet Fuchek "No pain - everything's great," professed a confident Ben Johnson, reflecting on his victory at the National Olympic Track and Field Trials August 5-7 in Ottawa. Johnson posted a wind-aided 9.90 second showing in the men's 100 m finals, one-tenth of a second faster than Desai Williams to qualify for the Canadian team. Thousands of fans witnessed this powerhouse of sprinting talent, Canada's hopes for an Olympic gold. At a post-race press conference Johnson was asked, 'Will the world record in the men's 100 m finals be shattered at the 1988 Summer Olympics?" 'Who's going to break it?" Big Ben retorted. "You!" shouted one reporter. "Oh, yeah, sure," Johnson admitted with an air of certainty. A month-and-a-half later this sprinter's Olympic gold recorcJ-setting triumph turned into a tragedy. After racing to a new world mark of 9. 79 seconds in the 100 m finals September · 24th, Johnson tested positive to Stanozolol, the most dangerous of all anabolic steroids prohibited in Olympic and national competitions. The International Olympic Committee stripped the Canadian of his medal - and of his dreams. They awarded the gold to American Carl Lewis. Johnson's world was falling apart as the IOC banned him from international competition for two years. Sports Minister Jean Charest denied him funding as an "A-carded athlete" and the opportunity to race in national meets for life. He deemed the Jamaican -'born athlete a "national embarassment". Some Canadians shared this view, calling him a "Jamaican immigrant," rather than a national hero in the sports realm. However, many others remain faithful fans refusing to crucify their idol. His family continues to pledge their support during the steroid scandal. This star sprinter spoke on the matter for an interview published in the Toronto Sun Saturday. Johnson restated his innocence at a news conference in Toronto. He denies knowingly taking steroids though he offers no evidence to refute the results of the urine sample obtained after the 100 m finals. This runner claims he is not interested in propositions to play pro football and plans to continue racing and training. The federal government is presently undertaking an inquiry into the Johnson affair to determine whether sabotage was a factor. Likewise, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario will be reviewing the sportsman's personal physician, Dr. George Mario (Jamie) Astaphan. Gary Lubin, coach at Johnson's Mazda Club told the CBC that Astaphan al1ude d to administering steroids to his patient before the World Championships in Rome. Astaphan later reported that he gave him only cortico-steroids to treat injuries. This drug is used to reduce swelling and is permissible according to the IOC. The rest of the Johnson entourage, including his coach, Thunder Bay native, Charlie Francis, will be subjected to investigation. Meanwhile, Johnson -and his family await the verdict a gloomy or bright future for this world-class sprinter. r SCORE BOARD VOLLEYBALL Sept.27 Individuals vs Linden Loopers U.P.W. vs Slim Chance Hoodornaments vs God Squad The Untouchables vs What do you call them 1- 0 30-28 49. 26 46-32 Sept.22 38-31 G-Spots vs Individuals Terrifying Teachers vs Chronics Canadian Lights vs The Dirty Rotters The Smashers vs The Violent Fems 48-41 38-35 39-27 STANDINGS VOLLEYBALL TUESDAY EVENINGS Hoodornaments Individuals U.P.W.

An adult learner may be defined as any student (part of full time) who feels as though they are somewhat set apart from the so called "mainstream" of students. Typical examples range from students (young and old) who have been out of school for several years and are attending full time, to part time students who have taken courses before, but never actually felt themselves to be a part of Lakehead. Student Services is looking toward assisting this unique group of students in establishing a social support group/network, whereby group activities, coffeehouses, and other suggested events may be organized on a regular basis. To become a part of these groups, contact Irmo Marini 343-8739 at the Counselling and Career Centre, and watch for bulletins regarding meetings • . .

Did you attend the LUBA Halloween Bash? If you did, I'm certain you had a great time. Everyone who attended put in a huge effort on all of their costumes. There were Drag Queens, Mice, Cats, Ghosts and Goblins. Also attending were MacTonites, Clowns and Vampires. To ward off some of these Vampires was Dr. Strange, the legendary comic strip character oflong ago who did battle with the evil blood.suckers. One of the outstanding clowns had a bit of trouble sitting down and often falling down and not being able to get back up . These falls were made somewhat soft by the amount of balloons that provided a vast amount of padding. The costume winners that evening included Robo-Cop in first place, the Tin Man in REGISTER FOR THESE SESSIONS BY CONTACTING THE COUNSELLING & DAREER CENTRE ROOM:UC1002 second and in a noble third place was the Mouse Trap.

I was happy to see that a lot of people were resonsible enough to order a cab after they had been consuming alcohol. Others left the responsibility of driving up to their designated drivers. Great tunes provided by Thunder Bay's own HEB 160 added to the rowdy atmosphere. The crowd was enthusiastic and showed their appreciation by packing the dance floor. In between sets, party sound was provided. A few of these songs slowed things down for those who just wanted to get close. A big thanks goes out to all of those people who volunteered their time to make this event extra special.

Puttagunta Over 300 students braved rain and slush-filled streets to march from Victoriaville to Mini-Queen's Park last Monday. As part of a province-wide demonstration, students from Lakehead University, Confederation College, and local high schools were protesting underfunding and deregulation of tuition fees. Lorri Santa, Lakehead University Student Union VP External, explained that deregulation means colleges and universities can set tuition fees at their own rates. Currently, such institutions have to stay within 13% of what the government requires. Should deregulation occur, students may end up paying up to 3,000 a year in order to go to university. That would mean a 100% increase. The students want to suppress the idea of deregulation before it becomes policy. Santa said the students were also demonstrating in protest of underfunding, which has led to depletion of library resources, insuffici~nt university research and development funding, shortage of professors and a lack of required classroom space. the students that deregulation would be the end of a publicly funded system in Ontario in copying the American system. Such measures would hurt northern universities' attempts to balance the equality of opportunity. Six percent of the northern Ontario population has a university degree as compared to 9% in the rest of the province. In his concluding statements, Dr. Rosehart said: ".. .look at other countries we photo by Duncan try to compete with- Finland, Students march through city streets proclaiming the evils of Sweden, Japan and Germanyunderfunding. they h~ve almost zero tuition Escorted by police, the fees ..." Later, the students students marched down Arthur in education, asked: "When is Street wearing white LUSU this going to happen -in the marched part-way around the caps, carrying signs bearing year 3000?" office-and tried to get in but Dr. the messages ;Ne're the fuDr. E.R.

When interviewed later, Work student who, referring believe in !" to Premier David Peterson's Lakehead' University some of the students said they campaign promise for quality President Bob Rosehart told were not sure if they could " return to university if deregulation became policy. They said that they didn't think OSAP would cover the losses. Hendrik Lavertu claimed that , on a committee rep9rting to the Ontario Education Minister, 16outof19universi• ties voted for deregulation. When he contacted the Ontario Minister of Colleges and Universities, Lyn McLeod, it took him six months to get an appointment. He claims that even when he did get -to talk with her, she didn't accept responsibility for these issues. She also did not state what she intended to do about deregulation. Although deregulation is only in the proposal stage, the students want to act before it becomes policy in which case it coµld seriously hurt secondary education and the student body. As Lavertu stated," Lyn McLeod is listening to the universities down South and not to the people in her constituency. n The students are afraid of the devastating results that deregulation threatens. Harassment Abounds by George Krebs Educating the university community in dealing with sexual harassment does not contribute to the problem of harassment, but rather will bring forward the victims and help them to deal with the situation, according to Marilyn MacKenzie. MacKenzie, conducting a workshop on personal harassment at Lakehead University, said that administrators should not be "ashamed or humiliated" by the presence of a campus policy to deal with complaints of harassment. "It's not going to cause people to sexually harass, but it's simply going to give them (administration) a way of handling the situations that are out there," said MacKenzie, an Investigation Officer for Sexual Harassment Policy at the University of Manitoba. Her position, created in July of 1985, was the first of its kind. She had previously worked in Child Welfare and taught social work. MacKenzie indicat:ed that sexual harassment is quite prevalent, citing statistics showing that 50-90% of women in the workplace have been victims. In universities, a figure of 20-30% has been traditionally cited, but this only represents female students. MacKenzie conducted a survey of her own at U of Manitoba revealing a higher percentage of harassment victims that included complaints from faculty and support staff workers. MacKenzie's survey mailed out 1783 questionnaires and received 1208 replies, or a 68% response rate. Follow-ups were done to stress the importance ofthe survey and receive maximum input. MacKenzie said there is a theory behin~ the harassment of females on campus, explaining that female students in particular are a vulnerable group. Sexual harassment is usually committed by a person of authority and has forced students to change courses and alter their programs and futures to avoid the harasser. ''We're finding that more and more people are altering their life due to this kind of behaviour," said MacKenzie. "Power is the key component in sexual harassment cases." When asked about the number of sexual harassment complaints on the LU campus, Mackenzie could not give a specific figure but commented, "I know they're getting inquiries as we speak." Myrna Holman, Human Resources Officer at LU, said Sexual harassment complaints are occurring-"as we speak," said Marilyn MacKenzie (seated far right). 1 photo by Kristen DelZot "Power is the key component in sexual harassment cases." into rape," said MacKenzie. She also dismissed as . "garbage" the old excuses used to explain sexual harassment• 'boys will be boys' or 'men can't control their sexual urges.' "It's not women who are overreacting... we're not frigid, rigid women who don't have any sense of humour. We are people." LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY PERSONAL HARASSMENT POLICY The Ontario Human Rights Code of 1981 defines harassment as a "course of comments or conduct consistthat no statistics are available ing of wol"ds or actions that concerning the prevalence of disparage or humiliate a persexual harassment on the LU son" and prohibits harassment campus because no records are on the basis of race, ancestry, kept.

Lakehead had the highest parficipation rate ofany University in On ario, an encouraging sign. Special thanks to Dr. Rosehart and Dr. Zimmermann ho support was most appreciated. And a round of applause for Lorri Santa an er hard working External Committee, without who the march would not hav en the success that is was. Congratulations. Many people said previous to the march, "What's the point?" "What will mar hing accomplish?" The point is that _without media attention we are ignored. The Ontario Federation of Students hammers away constantly at the govern ent on student issues and on behalf of individuals. Two weeks ago there was obby Session at Queen's Park. OFS representatives met with about 70 MPP's, o n individual basis from all three political parties. Yet during the three days o eetings not one question was asked in question period about student concerns. t took the spotlight of the media, focused on us becuase of the march, to have ou oncerns voiced in the legislature. COMPUTERS: INSTRUMENtS OF SATAN Many moons ago, in the age of iron swords and men, evil was prevelent. But then came the Reformation (not to mention Oral Roberts) and the evil was supressed. But we have now passed into a new and darker age: the age of the computer. For more than a decade now, computers have slowly and quietly found their way into our homes and our workplaces. Bit by bit (pardon the pun) they have infiltrated, passi_n g themselves as "friendly" and "fruitful". They have found a niche in society, fooling us with their passive nature. But let me tell you, they are passive no more! The computer revolution has started! Even in the Argus, files haved fouled up, disk drives have been degenerating and many a temper has flared. This is common all across the university. It seems that many people within ten feet of a computer hates them with a passion. A 'virus' in the system is not helping things much. Something is wrong with the computer population. How is Satan connected, you may ask? Well, the connotations·of "Apple" computers are obvious. And is it a coincidence that "IBM" also stands for InterBallis~ic Missile, another instrument of Satan? What about the new computers in the library. Could this be a sign of the growing evil? Another interesting phenomenon is people's irrational fear of computers (these are the people who have never yet used a computer and therefore cannot have any idea of the horror ahead of them). Com- ' puters don't bite; they may give you a shot of electricity through your body, bi:t they don't bite (again, pardon the pun). It must be some instinctive sense the person has that tells them to stay away from it. It is the evil within! What we accomplished was a firm statement from the government that we wil ot have a deregulation of tuition. Nevertheless, we still son't have a committ ent that tuition will not be raised. We must not let up the pressure. So how is LUSU doing these days? If you want to find out get off your *** an ome to a meeting. Every Thursday night at 6pm either in the Senate Chambers ear the Agora, or in the Council Chambers, near the Aesthetics Lounge, counci olds court. We spend your money, find out how and why. .

The writer has the opinion that daycare and a double income are new concepts. He talks about the years before WWII and how no daycare was needed then, and how people were able to get by on one income. I don't know if the writer knows anyone who lived through those years, but I, being born, raised and educated in Europe, have a family who even served in WWI and who lived with a family •and children through the years before WWII. Those glorious_ years of soupkitchens, begging for some potatoes and having to trade your only winter coat for some cabbage to feed your children! I agree with the writer that we didn't need daycare then, simply because everybody was out of work, and money wasn't worth anything. He mentions that there were no daycare centres over 20 years ago and that families lasted a long time on one salary. Those years of the late fifties and early sixties have gone sown in history as the most prosperous of the 20th century. He ·moves on to ask the readers if" all of a sudden two incomes are needed. I wonder if this writer ever does grocery shopping? Prices in the stores are rising much faster than our salaries, and did he ever check out how much, for instance, children's clothing costs? On top of that, most people pay between $400 to $600 rent/mortgage a month. Does he not know how many men are laid off in the winter time, when heat, gas and hydrobills are 3 or 4 times as high as during other months? Does he know how many women are working to 'put their husbands through school' by working full-time while they also have children? Daycare is not a new concept. It is at least 25 to 30 years old and many studies have been done. Children are looked after by peo~le who are trained to do so. Children like to be with children, and learn from each other. Of course, there are goo.d and bad daycare centres, good and bad baby sitters and I agree that the best and most effective way of passing on your own values to your cliildren is to be with them all the time. I am sure that most parents would like it to be that way, but unfortunately that is not possible in many cases. The government could look into lengthening maternity leaves from 17 weeks to 1 or 2 years, for instance, which is done in other countries, that way a child would be with her/his parents for at least the first few years of her/his life, or by controlling the prices of the "first needs" and taxes, so that a second income would be a luxury, which it isn't in most cases. And then last night, at 3:30am while I was comforting my 8 month year old, I tried to remember how many hours during the night I have spent with her in the last few months. I am sure that 10 hours of sleep for a child is an unfulfilled wish for many parents. Finally, the writer wonders what the answer is, and "if we should move into the brave new world of daycare". I propose he, instead of using old cliches of 10 years ago, move into the brave new world of reality because it is my strong opinion that children are much, much better off than during the years before WWII. Unfortunately, it will never be ideal, but nowadays most families have not more than 2 or 3 children, and pare!}ts are able to give a lot more attention, than when families consisted of 6 or more children, which was normal some 30 to 50 years ago. Now, they are well cared for, well fed, well dressed and much loved. How about giving us some credit for trying so hard to give the best to our little ones, which every good parent wants for her/his child!

To LUBA Executive: Since when has the Bora Laskin building not been part of Lakehead University? Who have the education students been paying their tuition to? (Answer; Lakehead University). Don't you think its about time Lakehead University started including all students in social activities. Take for example the Hallowe'en Howl. No tickets were available to the Education Building and they were sold out on the first day of distribution. How does ·something like this happen? Where were the posters advertising the event? Education students are being blatantly ignored with regards to this matter. How are the education students supposed to attend such functions without knowledge of them? Please do something to rectify this situation before the Terminator Bash. Stop discriminating against educa- tion students NOW! Sincerely, Unable to Attend. STAiRGLIDES OF CONCERN To the Editor: In recent years Lakehead University has begun to take more notice of students who have a disability·on the campus. Last year saw the installment of four new stairglides. One is located in the Education Building, one in the Nursing Building, one in the Braun Building and the last and most important, in the Agora connecting the tunnel, the bookstore, the Agora, the pub and finally the Aesthstics Lounge. The latter stairglide is the one which this article is about. When the stairgJide is in use a flashing light and an al(Um accompanies its movement up or down the stairweJJ to provide for the safety of other ambulatory students. When the_stairglide is in motion, students are requested to use the other stairwells for their 'own safety. At present, there are very many studentys who do not heed this warning. Again I would lide to ask students to PLEASE MOVE!

You feel fatigue clouding up your concentration and so you reach out for ... COFFEE! Java. Cafe. Whatever you call it, it is simply irresistible and you can't get enough. You can divorce your spouse, total your car, say "no" to drugs, but you cannot stay away from that boiling brown beauty that French diplomat Tallyrand described as "black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love." Yes, the nutritionists t.ell you • thatamugofthestuffcangiv~ you 290 mg of caffeine. 'I'he doctors tell you that it takes years from your life. But your brain tells you that if you don't get you daily dose, you are going to feel like someone just buried an axe in your head. Coffee is so cosmopolitan. You can make it out of milk or water. You can get it in all sorts of different flavours espresso, cappuccino, cafe au lait, Bavarian chocolate, and Dutch almond. Heck, add different alcohols to it and you have yourself-a new breed Irish coffee, Bailey's, B-52, Hawaiian, and Amaretto. Is this a choice or what! The origins of coffee can be traced back to Yemen circa 1000 AD. It spread with Islam to other regions. The Turks developed such a craze for it that they made a law in which a wife could divorce her husband for failing to keep the family pot full! Today, coffee provides a livelihood for over 25 million people. All fifty nations that export it rely on it as a major source of exchange. The largest exporters happen to be Brazil, Indonesia, and the Ivory Coast of Africa. Coffee has become a major, though unstable, source of exchange on the commodity markets. You can always tell that there has been a frost in Brazil, when you see brokers jumping out of windows at the Commodity Exchange in London. The phenomena of coffee has people dying over it- literally. In Uganda during the reign of Idi Amin, coffee smugglers who were caught were put to death. In El Salvador, the rich families who own the coffee fields are subject to terrorist threats, kidnapping, and sometimes murder. Do not worry; you are not alone in your infatuation with coffee. Voltaire was said to have drank 50 (count them - fifty) cups of coffee a day. Napoleon i:elied on it to stay awake at nights while he was laying down French civil law. Bach wrote the "Coffee Cantata" in dedication to the beverage. Frederick the Great had his coffee made with champagne rather than water. Now you can see the phenomena behind each cup of coffee that you hold in your hand. When you are reminded that coffee is a slow killer, remember the immortal words ofVoltaire: "I think it must be, for I've been drinking it for 65 years and am not dead yet!" Coming soon - CHOCOLATE! Campaign Launched Against Greenhouse Effect ,WASHINGTON (IPS via ISIS) -- Asserting that the greenhouse effect poses an unprecedented threat to humanity's survival, a massive, worldwide coalition of environmentalists, scientists, political parties, consumer groups and others announced October 12 the formation of the Global Greenhouse Network. At the conclusion of a three-day conference held here to discuss the economic, political, and social implications of the greenhouse crisis, 90 delegates from 35 nations issued a manifesto calling for radical changes in energy use, agricultural practices, food policy, and resource conservation. "The greenhouse crisis may be the most profound environmental threat humankind has faced," said Jeremy Rifkin, president of the U.S.based Foundation on Economic Trends, which sponsored the conference. "The Global Greenhouse · Network is the first step in creating a global political response to this unprecedented· crisis," he told a news conference. Delegates to the conference included officials of the Zimbabwe-based Environment and Development Agei:icy, the Brazil-based Rural Advancement Fund International, and the Geneva-based World Council of Churches. In addition, representatives ofthe Kenya-based Environmental Liaison Centre, the Sudan-based African Network of Non-Governmental Organisations, and the Malaysiabased Asia-Pacific People's Environmental Network were in attendance. According to some scientific predictions, if current industrial growth and fossil fuel use are not reduced over the next 50 years, the Earth could experience a temperature increase of four to 15 degrees Fahrenheit, which would be the largest jump in 18,000 years, said Rifkin. Such an eventuality could lead to a huge rise in the level of threat. the oceans, severely . . ening all coastal communities, as well as causing massive droughts in some areas, he said A significant increase in planetary temperature would also threaten the survivability of animal and plant life at the bottom of the food chain, thus endangering all species, added Rifkin. The new coalition issued a nine-point list of recommendations, including the "rapid transformation away from fossil fuel-based technologies and toward solar, wind, and other environment;ally-sound, renewable energy source." The network also called for a 20 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by the year 2000, and a 50 per cent reduction by 2030. Third World debt should be retired "as an incentive to conserve and replenish tropical forests," it said, noting that these forests play an important role in consuming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The group call for "carbon taxes and other environmental penalties targeting industrialised nations," since it is those countries that produce the vast..majority of the greenhouse gasses. • Proceeds from these taxes would b~ placed in an intergovernmental fund to assist in the necessary retooling of industrial infrastructures around the world, said the network. Governments should reject nuclear and genetic engineering and other ''high technology" responses to the greenhouse problem, it said. The network also called for the widespread use of energy efficiency and conservation in industrial and private sectors, as well as a change from "green revolution" agriculture -- based on petrochemical fertilizers that emit nitrous oxide -- into organicbased, ecologically-sound agriculture. The world's governments must also seek alternatives to chloroflourocarbons (CFCs) -used in aerosols, refrigerants and in some foam products -- as part of an effort to work toward an eventual ban on CFC production and use, said the coalition. In September 1987, 38 governments signed the Montreal Protocol which, if fully implemented, could reduce global CFC emissions by as much as 40 per cent by 2009. The network suggested the use of tax incentives and legislative initiatives to achieve several of the goals on its list. The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon whereby certain gasses in the atmosphere retain heat reflected off the Earth, providing the warmth needed to sustain life on the planet. But since the onset of the industrial revolution roughly a hundred years ago, humanity has intensified the greenhouse effect by introducing huge amounts of greenhouse gasses -- carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, CFCs, and methane -- into the atmosphere. ~ l:~ Build equity fu your future.

As years pass so do clothing styles and at present, the trend seems to be 9eading towards the more conservative and traditional tastes and in many cases very stylish also. Last Wednesday, your intrepid Argus reporter stepped into the STUDY in a very cautious manner not knowing what to expect. Was I going to see the return of the heel high skirt with bustle, or was it the year of the bell-bottom pants topped off with a stylish "Nehru" jacket with a yellow paisley print! Ack! Was there going to be a horde of diseased, anorexic, and under-nourished 16 year old models showing off the wares of major clothing designers? Little did I know that this would be a fashion preview ofthe upcoming Academy Awards show! Only time would tell! What I had assumed to be another fashion show for the preppy and trendy student, turned out to be a black tie type ev_ent. At one point that evening, rd swear to God, that I saw Frank Sinatra having a drink in the STUDY! At last, the age of glamour and elegance has returned. In keeping with the tradition at Lakehead, the show sterted fashionably late. There were problems with the lighting, the stage, and the sound, of course! But once the show started some of the problems were forgotten. The firat thing I noticed when the first of the fashions were displayed were the models w ~ the clothing. 'Ibey were not the regular run of the mill Too Hot for the Hothouse by Mike Moore When you read about an unknown band that bas made it in a huge way elsewher.e and has all the critics lining up to praise their talents, one tends to expect a great deal from them. At least I do. The band in question is HOTHOUSE FLOWERS. In the United Kingdom, tliis is one big band. Critics have said of the Dublin-based band:"...destined for success on a grand scale...•, "Dripping with sweat, enthusiasm and a certain Gaelic charm ...", "... instantly addictive ...", and "Absolutely magnificent". How can a band live up to such claims? HOTHOUSE FLOWERS can live up to this and much, much more. The first time I listened to their album, "People", I was hooked. Each song gripped me in a way that only a certain other Irish band can grip me. "Don't Go'', "If You Go", "Yes, I Was" and "Hallelujah Jordan'' are only some of the tremendous songs on this tape. Every song bursts with the enormous vocal energy created by the lead singer, Liam O'Maonlai. His voice is very much like Bruce Springsteen's, with a slight Gaelic lilt, making him sound a little bit like Bono as well "People" is a tremendous album and I can not say enough about the band. The have emerged from the thousands of bands in the music business to be known as a winnei:. They were even able to climb out of the shadow ofthe Joshua Tree to be an individual band and not simply '\he other band from Ireland". Buy this album as soon as possible!!! Stood up -by t~e Pikes by Rhonda McKay Can you believe it? The Northern Pikes cancelled their Thursday night concert here at L.U.. In fact, I think the engineers have already obliterated the t.ape. But then again, wouldn't you if you were only given a few days notice of the cancelation? Who would be bothered to hire the Northem Pikes after what after what they did to Lakehead University? .... There have been some rumours'' flying around that they c~ncelled because n_ot enough -tickets had been -sold. Another one was that the Northern Pikes cancelled just because we're "Thunder Bay". Neither of these theories are correct. Thunder Bay was not the only spot where the Northern 6 foot, 100 pound models that you see on the cover of Vogue or Elle. The models were women of all shapes and sizes, a true representation of the female fashion market. Most of the clothing on display had one certain theme which• was glamour and excitement associated with the night life in a 1arge urban environment (just like a Mich~ lob commercial .~.). Black was the colour of choice for the designer. Black velvet, black. spandex, black leather, black ... whatever! The point being that the designer wanted something more adventurous and mysterious for the modern woman. What impressed me·the most were the strapless evening dresses. Black, • of course, was the fabric colour of choice. Eye appealing and intriguing are only a few: words that can be used to describe that type of apparel. Gold and silver materials highlighted these dresses giving them a definite elegant flair and it seemed to bring out the confident side ofthe wearer, almost a form of cockiness! The appeal was lost for a moment when the mini-skirts were displaye~. I have no qualms about the mini's but they just didn't seem to fit into the type of atmosphere pres~ ent that night. The mini's did however have a profound effect on the crowd in the centre of the room! The clothing that was displayed was made locally at "Thredz Insted".

Our city shook with shrieks and howls as creatures stalked the night in search of the ultimate party. Halloween enables a person to live out his or her ultimate fantasy or personality with the aid of a creative costume. For those of you who attended the Halloween bash at the Inntowner, you'll agree that the human imagination is quite extraordinary. About 400 people attended the costume party Saturd~y, October 29, and by 10:30 pm the place was crawling with all kinds of inventive attire. Latecomers had to settle with standing room unless a sharp eye caught the luxu,rious sight - of an unoccupied chair. The rock band, Wild Child, kept the "ghouls and goblins" alive with a powerful, unified sound and three stage sets of favourite hits - Guns N Roses, The Cars, Stevie Nicks, The Cult, AC/DC, and more. Throughout their sets, the dance floor trembled under festive feet. The party atmosphere continqed between shows as the Inntowner's regular "rock DJ" blasted tunes accompanied by a large video screen suspended 'in front of the stage. The· newly-constructed, extended bar consis- tently accommodated hoards of "Party Animals" who joined in to celebrate the event. . Each costume was unique in its own way: There were traditional devils, punk rockers, ghouls and ghosts, and menin-drag, but in addition, Elviras, clergy and political characters delighted •the crowd. Even Frankenstein and his bride awoke form the depths to attend. This year the most popular garbs were inspired by the smash Broadway production of "Cats" which recently graced our Auditorium. Evidently, many "cats" spent careful hours applying makeup and creating outfits to resemble some of the play's characters. Some of the results were "purrrfect"! Of course, there was a contest to reward those for their imaginative outfits. Wild Child judged the contestants with the help of the audience. The "Sexi~st Costume" was warded to a punk rocker in drag, although the Elvira clone was also a favourite. For the "Funniest Costume" one nerd out of a group of four others was chosen. Some felt that the "Mad Hadder" should have been selected. He bad constructed a HUGE black top hat, complete with eye boles which encompassed most of his body. It seemed to be awkward to dance in and to fight through the Your Argus Gulde to What' Happening. On Campus, . Around Town, and in the BLUE ZONE this Weekend! Jeff Bradley Comedian-Juggler Main Cafe.

It would have been nice to know what the winners received for their efforts. I was also disappointed that the staff of the Inn towner did not share in the spirit of the occasion. I realize that they had better things to do than to dress in some form of outrageous attire, but surely the Halloween Party events could have been arranged to enhance the night. Sometimes that "little something extra" leaves a more favourable impression. Overall, the friendly atmosphere i},t the Inntowner upheld the spirit of Halloween. Another costume party was held Monday night as both Prism and Wild Child took the stage. The crowd was e~pected to be smaller than Saturday night's perhaps due to door-to door trick-or treaters or other commitments. Now •as the excitement dies down and the snow begins to blanket the earth, we can look forward to rejoicing once more as the Christmas holidays are creeping towards us quickly. by Terrance Corry Direct from Lhasa via the Drepung Loseling Monastery, centuries of religion is coming to · Lakehead University on November 15. The Potala Tibetan Buddp.ist Meditation Centre is presenting a group of eight monks who will be performing The Longevity Dance of the Sky People and '!be Dance of the Skeleton Lords along with other musical arrangements. The famous tibetologist, Glen Mullin will act as narrator and explain the various chants and rituals. Gungbar Rinpoche will be leading the seven other monks through out the performance in an attempt to spread peace and harmony though out the world. With their brightly coloured· traditional costumes that reflect meditative peace or the destruction of violence, they will try to help the audience transcend the bonds of hate and bring a new level of enlightenment.

The strangeness �Canadian Skaters Capture Gold by Janet Fuchek Last week the Thunder Bay community was treated to a • display of talent from the international figure skating circuit. The Sun Life Skate Canada International competition, held October 25-30, attracted sixtyfive athletes from thirteen countries. The Fort Wiliam and Thunder Bay Skating Clubs hosted this event, with activities transpiring at the Port Arthur Arena and Fort William Gardens. An opening ceremony conducted by the local skating clubs signified the formal start of the rivalries Thursday, October 27th. An exhibition held Sunday included a precision skating routine, with the closing ceremony afterwards. This event commended particular attention, since many of the skaters who have dominated the world scene have recently retired. It also marked the first opportunity in Canada to see the new original short program for singles skating, focusing on the artistic nature of the sport.· For each breathtaking challenge, spectators greeted the performers with loud applause and cheers. In front of such an appreciative crowd, Canadian athletes were motivated to achieve their best - winning two gold medals and a bronze. Kurt Browning thrilled onlookers with his dynamic routines to capture the men's singles' title over Victor Petrenko of the Soviet Union. He conquered ten others with his outstanding showmanship and skating abilities. Browning's original program consisted of a combination jump (triple ax.el; double loop), a flying spin and "death drop", and serpentine footwork. He finished his display with a double ax.el and combination spin, executed with finesse. Browning included elements of triple flips, axels, toes, and loops; triple salchow; and circular footwork to make his long program entertaining. He concluded this exhibition of merits with the Russian splits and a camel Browning was celebrated as the first person in history to successfully land a quadruple jump in international competition (World Championships, Budapest - 1988).

In men's basketball, John Laplante was named player of the month but he was unable to attend the ceremonies. Laplante was a key player in the Alumni match, leading the team with 36 points including seven 3 point field goals. Coach Bruno Colavecchia describes Laplante as one of the Nor'Westers' consecutive scorers, but a dislocated finger temporarily placed him on the sidelines. Colaveccbia adds that Laplante is a team leader both on and oft' the court. The Nor'Westers will see basketball action against Gogebic College this weekend in the fieldhouse.

She is during the first four pre-season tournaments. Williams was also unable to personally receive her trophy.

The Alumni team; featuring such names from the past as John Zanatta, Ken Ross, Dave Barkwell, Dave Kirychuk, Gord Bruyere, and Rene Pawluk, to name a few, were able to stay close in the first half, going into the locker room trailing 48-44. The second half saw the Nor'Westers come out and take control of the game, winning by a score of 107-87. The Nor'Westers were led by John Laplante, who sparkled with 36 points and Doug Fenwick, who added 18 points and eight rebounds. The Alumni were led by John Zanatta, who netted 22. The Nor'Westers embarked on their exhibition season , _ travelling to Sudbury to play the Laurentian Voyaguers in the annual battle for the Northem Ontario Championship and the Carliµg O'Keefe Trophy. This was a good test for the Nor'Westers, since the Voyaguers always field aggressive, competitive teams. Hampered by the loss of three key starters (Ed Collins, John Laplante, and Leslie Ragguette) to injury, theNor'Westersdropped two decisions 114-81 and 11476. In spite of the losses, the games gave Coach Colavecchia a very good opportunity to see his bench and rookie athletes perform in a game situation. These early season experiences and lessons learned will certainly pay dividends when the OUAA season commences in January. High scorers for Lakehead the first night were Doug Fenwick with 17 points, Jeff'Byerley with 14, and Brian Konu with 12. The second game high scorers were Brian Konu with 18, Jeff Byerley with 15, and Ray Foster with 10. - - �TurmoiI ,,- Pt,,,c"" (ttl,;,a) J1 Jl fi ,Jl <---: ~ CJ HUNOE.R 0AY:S BtAUTIFUL 0 GUN SHOP SANG S/H'f6, tau..

Some people, usually those who are very active remain thin in spite of the amount that they eat, while others put on weight even while they are watching what they eat and trying to cut down on caloric intake. There are many causes of obesity. In some cases heredity does play a part and there is and inherited tendency to obesity. In most cases, however, overeating and lack of exercise are the main causes. HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT You can usually lose weight by eating less and by increasing your physical activity. You should aim at losing about one pound per week. Too rapid a weight loss can make you feel tired, light headed and nauseated. Consider why you_want to lose weight. Keep a record of your eating habits -- the times you eat, what you eat, where and under what circumstances, what your This will give you some insight into what is influencing your eating behaviour. When you know and understand the circumstances surrounding your eating habits, then you can control your eating behaviour. Keep in mind, however, that changing behaviour is not easy and there is no quick solutions. Fad diets . are always popular because they usually promise quick and easy weight loss. However, they do NOT offer sound dietary advice and if weight loss occurs at all it is usually temporary. These food diets may indeed be harmful as your body tends to put on weight very fast when you stop using the diet. Remember that when it comes to .losing weighty in a healthy way, there are no short cuts or miracle methods. Your goal should be to control your eating behaviour and by doing so to lose weight. Exercise should become part of your daij.y routine._One of the best ways of getting regular exercise is walking - instead of taking the elevator, try climbing stairs. • Join. the weight wise clinic (WWC) at the student health services. Weigh in on Monday and Fridays and have your weight recorded. Keep your own personal record. You can pick up lots of resource material on losing weight. TIPS ., 1. Cut down on your food in- take. Eat low calorie foods instead of high calorie ones. 2. Increase your physical activity - do more walking. 3. Do NOT skip meals. 4.

Hunking who was VP Student Issues was removed from office after an impeachment vote held at an emer_gency meeting February 3rd. JeanJ. Begin, Chairman of the LUSU Board of Directors released a statement concerning the impeachment. On January 24, 1991, a motion was brought to the board of directors (B.O.D.) informing them that there might be sufficient information to hold an impeachment hearing concerning Hunking. At the time allegations were brought to the board with the end result being that the •board voted in favour of holding a special meeting to hear evidence on these allegations. The date set February 3rd was ten days after the first motion was_putforth, satisfyingthe requirement as per the L.U .S. U. constitution. After that first meeting, Hunking was informed by B.O.D. Chairman Begin that he had the opportunity to retain counsel during the February 3rd meeting. At the February 3rd meeting, L.U.S.U. was represented by Mr. Bob Edwards while Hunking was represented by roomate Micheal Overy. At the start of the meeting Hunking was asked by Edwards if he wished more time to prepare his 'defense.· Hunking said no. The hearing was not conducted as a courtroom hearing is, each member of the B.O.D. was allowed to ask as many questions as were necessary to make an informed decision. UNEXPLAINED ABS·ENCES The following is a list of the allegations discussed at the meeting: 1. Hunking did not attend work on August 3, 7,30; September 14,17,28; October 9: January 15,16: upon - which there was no prior ing's lack of attendance at warning.

HistOfy: Celebration ~hrough' Education I I I• I L I' by Dana Davidson In general when one thinks of Black names 11ke Afro-American, African and West Indian readily come to mind. Rarely does one ever think of Canadian Blacks and their history. In keep~ with .AFCASA's theme of education as well as celebration during Black History Month, the following is a list of dates and facts dealing with sfgnificant events within the Black experience in Canada, and specifically in Ontario. 1628--"OliverLeJeune" a young boy ts the first Black to be transported dJrectly from Africa to New France as a slave. 1793--Parliament of Upper Canada passed an act to "prevent the further in· troduction of slaves." while Negro settlement in Toronto beg1Iis with the early Slaves of Officials in the town of York in 1793. 1812-1850-·Blacks settle at Welland, St. Catbertnes, Colchester, Windsor, Amherstburg(where tobacco as a crop was introduced by Kentucky and Virginia Blacks. as well as a White Virginia settler), near London, Chateau. Dresden. Toronto, Oro and Queen's Bush. Black owned farms were situated as far north and east as Penetanguishene, Collingwood, Owen Sound and Barrie. 1840--The British-Ameri- can Institute. known as Devon, established .near Chatham as a schpol for-Blacks. Blacks settled around the school raised crops and built mills. 1850--Fugitive Slave Act passed in the United States causing a great influx of Black refugees into British North America. The Black population in Toronto rose to 1,000 in the 1850's. , Separate School Act passed in Upper Canada which permitted any five black families to ask for the establishment of a school for themselves. In Upper Canada numerous examples existed of tax-paying Black families being denied the right to equal education. 1851--Voice of the Fugt~ . a newsheet edited by Henry Bibb, for exiled Blacks begins publication in Windsor. It lasted until 1853. Harriet Tubman, the celebrated conductor of the Underground Railroad. moves to St. Cathertnes to begin 7 years of guiding fugitive slaves into the Provin_ce. An estimated 30000 Blacks resided in Upper Canada by 1851. 1863-•The Emancipation Proclamation is proclaimed in the United States. As a result many escaped slaves returned to the U.S. Fearful white Canadians worried that there would be a large wave of Blacks entering Canada. To prevent this they made lt more difficult f~r Blacks to enter community schools and refused them work. There was a steady decline in the Black population of Ontario until after 1900when West Indian and American Blacks were brought in to help bµild the railroads and other· industries. 1894--William B. fJubbard was the first Black elected to Toronto's City Council and served until 1903. 1920--the Ku IQux IQan entered Canada. 1930--In Colchester, police patrolled parks and beaches to prevent Blacks from using them, On February, 28th, the Ku Klux Klan paraded openly through Oakville and btlpled a cross on the main street to protest inter-racial mamage. 1940--Initiallythe Canadian army rejected Black volunteers to serve in Worfd War II. but as th~ •.v as progressed they were accepted into both the regular army and the Officer Corps. 1944--Ontario passed the Racial Discrim.fnation Act. 1955--The Union won for sleeping car porters the light of promotion to condu~tor and in 1957 to other positions. Late in the year the federal government agreed to admit 100 domestics _each year from Barbados and Jamaica. 1958--Ontario established the Anti-Discrimination Commission which in 1961 became the Human . Rights Commission. 1967--The new Immigration Act. with greater em· phasis on-manpower needs and family relationships was passed. The result has been a great influx of West Indian tmmigrants. 1967-70--43777 West Indian immigrants entered Canada 68% settled .in Ontario.

Spectftcally, many universities have dealt with the problem of student run organizations and the image they leave the school with. Last year, Lakehead witnessed this first-hand when the Engineering Student Society was forced to chang~ •its logo because it left the school with a lot of bad press. Conversely, campus papers have been heavily scrutinized over the past decade. tn an effort.to make them "cleaner" and more responsible. In fact, all campus groups_have to be held accountable to the students (this applies to Student governments especially). Philosophically speaking this is an easy principle to follow, but practically speaking 1t iS veiy dJfllcult to define degrees of accountability. Earlier this year, LUSU was left 1n the awkward position of defining a separate policy for the Argus. Naturally, drawtng up an Argus policy was necess_a ry because the paper ls subsidized by the students, and requires at least some scrutiny. Two weeks ago, LUSU presented a policy to the Argus which they thought would make the paper more accountable to the students. This policy was dropped by LUSU because of the aggressive response of the Editors of the paper--they wanted to empha~tze that editorial control has to be given to the members of the newspaper, and not the Student Union Board of Directors. ThiS ts fundamental because the Rrimaiy mandate of the student newspaper iS to report on issues and events that deserve publictztng; this applies to good news and bad. If (as the proposed policy would do), the Editor-in-Chief can be impeached by the Board of Directors, then this boils down to intimidation. The Argus Editor is elected democratically by the members of the paper and subsequently iS respon- • sible for upholding the mandate of the paper for the members. If the threat of Impeachment by an outside orgaruza- ~~ • '11 ••• - tion (like LUSU) hangs over the head of an editor, then it becomes its own form of unconscious censorship. The Argus already has strict guidelines for editorial jobs, which includes an internal impeachment process. Toe Argus is open to the idea of having an advtsoiy committee made up of students to assist the development of the paper and provide non-bias input. But this committee should not (as some members ofLUSU are proposing), have the power to fire anyone elected to a position on the paper because they may have done something wrong. The power to investigate any wrong-doing on the paper must rest solely with the members of the paper~ One LUSU Board member asked "what if eveiyone on the paper are assholes?" ThiS logic ts as ludicrous as suggesting that everyone on the LUSU Board are assholes (since the LUSU Board have the power to impeach on of their own}. The Argus ts simply asking for the same right. Following the libel laws of Canada, and maintatning a statement of principles is still an important part of the way this paper ts run. Any form of outside_censorship will not have an effect on those principles. In solidarity... Faisal Ali HOMOPHOBIA - L.U. 'S ATTITUDES;: "IN THE CLOSET"? gender.

No! Homophobia ts the problem. It's a sickness, a deep-brooding fear. a sort of social UNconsciousness. Labelling homosexuality as the pro9Iem iS not unlik.~ saying ~ t the only problem with ractsm ts that there are black people in the • world. Homophobia is an irrational fear of homosexuality. It tncludes the fear of heterosexuals have .of any homosexual feeltngs within themselves. any mannerisms that would suggest homosexuality in themselves, and the resulting desire to suppress or stamp out homosexuality all together. It also includes the self-hatred and self-denial of homosexuals who know what they are, but have been taught all their lives by a heterosexual society that people like themselves are sick, stnful and crimtnal. The key problem with homophobia is that in general people's fears suppress and (abel •"wrong" the real emotions and states-of-mind of lesbians and homosexuals, some ofwhom may not yet have "come out". The matter of sexuality is a tender one for everyone to grow up and adapt tcr. Those who grow up with the feeling that something ts "different" about themselves (Le. they're attracted to their own sex). are even more fragµe in the destructive hands/voices of our societies. Homophobia ts not historically new. and it is definitely not just a local social ailment: it is not a domtnantly feminist tssue, it is a people's i ~ . but a great deal of the problem stems from that forbidden word, PATRIARCHY Male supremacy, sexism, and homophobia are society's reactions to those women and men whose lifestyles challenge its confining aggressive male/passive female sex roles. Gay women challenge male supremacy in society: by choosing to love and devote most of their energy to other women, lesbians are refusing to feed into a system where power and prestige are based on gender, and where a woman takes her status from the man she is attached to. Similarly gay men, through their open show of warmth and emotionality (characteristics which have traditionally been considered feminine). they deny the importance of the "masculine identity" others struggle so hard to achieve. Another element of a homophobe's view is rooted in an inner fear. of experiencing sexual relations with their own tends to condemn any sexual relations which are not attned at multiplying this IN-humane species of ours ... Let's face facts: Pleasure IS pleasure: where we each might get it and feel emotionally, spiritually and physically content varies amazingly: And where can the Justice be found in society's condemning and oppressing us so intensely that we are unable to come to an honest and op.e n self-understanding? There are no true spiritual freedoms to be experienced by perlectly healthy and lovtng human beings if they allow society to muzzle them! The vocal platform of our times is generally held by the majortty ...True? Fair? Heterosexuals are statistically the majority, but homosexuals are real Why, otherwise, would they cast themselves tnto such a sore spot tn society? It 1s a fact that one in ten people are of gay-orientatlon...Yes, we have numbers, tool How does this all relate to our precious Lakehead University, other than by its pop~atlon's universality in attitude? Let me list a few items of interest around campus: There are no avenues of gay-information networks advertised (Other than the walls of the walls of the bathroom stalls, in the "Ladies", above the pub!}. There is, nonetheless. a gay comm.unity in Thunder Bay! There are no avenues, on campus, acknowledged for people to "come out" as gay: no literature can be found (i.e. visible pamphlets, etc.) even in the Student Services/Health Centre shelves. and there are no support groups formed. Gays are really not acknowledged on campus ... One good route to turn to is the GLTB office on Bay St .. tn Port Arthur (1.e. Gays and Lesbians of Thunder Bay) - Reach out to them if you need help, support or information! During AIDS Awareness Week. the GLTB had a table set up tn the Agora, at which information about Lesbianism and Homosexuality were openly available. Another beautiful ray of light to be seen on our campus! I am fully aware that there am a lot of open-minded and supportive heterosexuals out there, but the scales of happiness are not quite balanced enough at this point. .. Homophobic minds are minds in the dark: they're minds in the closet .. .It's due time that some keys are found, some anciently closed doors opened up, and some statesof-mind enlightened. If the general outlook of people opens up, there will be a lot less emotionally plagued, suppressed and condemned homosexuals around, and a lot more happy faces and a brighter tomorrow to be seen. Help promote peace of mind.

MATMEN LOOK FOR STRONG PERFORMANCE AT·OUAA'S L.U.'s Grapplers travel to Brock this weekend for the Ontario University Athletic Association Wrestledowns and coaches Francis Clayton and Jim Gowanlock are hoping for a strong team effort. In what has largely been a rebuilding year for L.U.'s wrestling squad, Clayton says that a fourth place finish out of the ten Ontario teams that will attend would be a positive showing. L. U. will fill nine out of the ten weight classes at the event and Clayton is confident that the majority of the team will finish high enough to qualify for the Canadian Nationals which are slated-for March 2nd and 3rd in Regina. Only the top three wrestlers in each weight cla~s get CIAU invitations, so wrestlers are understandably pumped at the Ontario's. Jim Gowanlock describes the competition like this: "The problem with wr~stling 1/> that its such an indMdual sport. Its not like basketball where one guy's down and evecyone else can carcy him. You go into a match and you're not up, you lose.'' The Argus Sports desk wishes the team good luck at Brock and knows the team will do us proud.

The highlight of Fridays set came in the fourth game when L. U. showed their collective stuff and rallied back from a 12-2 deficit. Saturday's action saw L.U. sweep the Stangs 15-13, 15-10, and 15-13 to end regular season play on a very positive note. Strong performances from recently re-recruited Leslie Ballan ·and some fine spiking from Joanne Hood along with a Geraldine Bergmans who _is beginning to adapt to her increased role promise interesting things to come for our Lady Nor'Westers. Good luck in the playoffs Ladies. MEN CAGERS DROP TWO IN WESTERN by Ian Fero Considering the fact that our men's varsity basketball team lost both games against Western the past Friday and Saturday on their court, the weekend was not a total failure. Going into the weekend affair the Westers were confidant that they could steal at least one game from the #2 nationally ranked Mustangs. Friday night it looked as if it may have come true. The men came out strong and cleaned the glass with authority. The effort was not meant to be though as they could not close • the gap within four points before finally bowing out 78-65. Coach Lou Pero was pleased with the game as they held the Mustangs (who averaged 95 points on 53% field goal · shooting this year) to 78 points on 37% field goal percentage. • Saturday proved to be an offensive affair where our men realized the scoring prowess of their foes losing 97-73. Individually, Leslie Ragguette continued his offensive explosion netting 22 points in both games while swiping 19 rebounds. Jeff Byerley returned to action after missing a pair of games with a nagging finger injucy. He went on to score 14 points Friday and 19 points Saturday despite being hampered by a minor back problem. Ray Foster and Brian Tees also cleaned house under the boards as the flu:riddled NorWesters got some QT (quality time, baby!) from all twelve players. Currently the squad is ~ocked in a battle for fourth spot. The standings, after the weekend shape up this way: 1 OUAA 8-Ball Sta"dings as of Feb 10 1991 1. Guelph, 9-1 2. Western, 9-1 3. McMaster, 7-3 4. Brock, 4-6 5. Lakehead, 4-6 Pineau, Tees, and Buchan ...trying to bring the playoffs home. 6. Waterloo, 4-6 7. Laurter, 2-8 8. Windsor 1-9 The team, 1n:a quest to bring the playoffs to the Sanders Fieldhouse, will take on Laurter this weekend at home.

Over the past ten years a resurgence into the health importance of the seasons has prompted scientific investigation. These scientlflc findings have shown that there are individuals who experience some alteration in mood or behaviour as a result of seasonal changes. These seasonal changes have been classified ai:l seasonai affective disorder (SAD). Individuals with SAD experience lower energy levels, difficulty concentrating and getting one's work done, as well ~ a decrease in physical activity 'a nd sociability. These people also experience a change in eating habits in the form of increased carbohydrate craving. Foods such as potatoes, bread, pasta an4 especially sweets appear to energize the individual when e,sperlenctng lower energy levels. A substantial number of patients with SAD ex.. perlence a seasonal cycle of highs and lows. In addition to suffering from recurring episodes of seasonal affective disorder, these people also experience a significant increase in energy and mood change during the summer months: there seems to be a reversal of the winter pattern. These individuals generally report weight loss, increased activity, and the decreased need for sleep at this time. It is possible that these opposite moods and behaviours occurring in different seasons are the body's attempt to maintain an overall affective balance. Soon after tnvestlgatlon into SAD it became evident that there were many people with a milder form of SAD. This $ilder form has been • classified as the "winter blues". These individuals experience moderate forms of SAD symptoms which are troublesome but not serious enough to take to a physician. These winter blues Dear Analyst Annie, _ I am seeing this guy who I work with. He's a babel Anyway we are really hitting it off. llllt we have one small problem. Sex.

This pattern of seasonal change tends to have an oc~urrence of at least 2 years in continuum. Many therapeutic treatments for SAD and the milder form of the condition known as the "winter blues" have been investigated. These treatments have consisted of the administration of indoor exposure to artificial sources of full spectrum florescent lights. This therapeutic intervention is unique in that it is non-pharmacological, Inexpensive, and safe. The effectiveness of light therapy, also called phototherapy, was investigated for the possibility of extending the photoperiod of an individual; thus simulating the amount of light exposure experienced in the summer. Many other experiments with light therapy have shown success in treating the symptoms associated with SAD and the "winter blues". 0 Dear Hard Up, lfhe says he's nervous, he's nervous.

Have a happenin' breakf Mourning a Language by Sue Mathers Outside, during Tuesday evening's City Council meeting of the Coalition on Language Tolerance (COLT) many citizens organized a candle-light vigil to "mourn the passing ... of a res~lution declartng Thunder Bay to be a unilingual city." Approximately 42 people, francophones and anglophones alike, showed their opposition to the resolution that COLT spokesman and History qepartment head Ernie Epp called "... a gratuitous slap at the Provincial Liberal government and an unnecessary statement." • Participants sang the National Anthem.in both English and French. as well as a number of traditional French folksongs. Many participants discussed the place of French in a multicultural C~ada, especially at this time of constitutional crisis.After the city council meeting, Mayor Jack Masters spoke out in favour of the vigil. The Mayor stated that although city coun~illors had passed the resolution in order to save money, it had actually cost Thunder Bay economically. Many groups have boycotted conferences originally b_ooked in the city, and other organizations are hesitant at bringing outsiders in. A particular example is the Le~~d Society's Convention, which was originally supposed to he held at Lakehead University. Organizers cancelled their stay as a result of Thunder Bay's unilingual stance. Toe resolution also raised truces for french-speaking citlzens and ~ade it I G. ·s .-T.

A.A. Vanderv~en aax .30 -- the Bmgo. With this in mind, Todays recipe comes from Marsha Brady. It is called ·DEAD-MAN PIE". I asked Marsha how this meat pie got its unusual name and I was told the following stoiy. About 15 years ago. Mrs. Johnson (Marsha's 2nd cousin twice removed) became a widow. ('lbe details of Mr. Johnson's demise are quite comical if not absolutely incredible, however, there is no correlation between the late Mr. Johnson and "DEAD-MAN PIE" apart from the fact that Mr. Johnson is a dead m~). After Mr. Johnson's cessation of life. the Widow Johnson took her large inheritance and moved to a small retirement community in Winter Haven. Florida. Upon her arrival, the Widow Johnson was greeted by six handsome widowers who promptly_invited her to a potluck dinner and Bingo. At the dinner, the veiy attractive and sexy Widow Johnson was constantly sur- . rounded by the six widowers, much to the disgust of the other widows at the dinner. Wanting desperately to impress the Widow Johnson, each of the widowers ate a large portion of her meat pie, (then known as Johnson pie), and left nothing of it for anyone else to sample. During the arousing and hJghly competitive bingo game all six of the widowers developed severe cramps, diarrhea, and nausea. They were rushed to the hospital and five of the six expired. During the investigation into the deaths, one of the disgusted widows at the dinner was noted as saying "It was that Johnson whore that poisoned the boys, her and her DEAD-MAN PIE." Hence the name "DeadMan Pie". As it turned out, the pie was not responsible for the five deaths. It seems that the six widowers had fancied the Widow Johnson and figured at least one of them might get lucky after they were not going to take any chances and the six of them spent the afternoon before the dinner eating oysters. The oysters were improperly cooked causing food poisoning and, of course, death. The Widow Johnson (now the Widow Rodgers) married the survivor and eveiy Sunday afternoon for ~e years Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers ate "Dead-Man Pie". Here's the recipe. I hope you like it, I certainly did. There lias been much attention paid to this group in the music press, so I was looking forward to listening to this debut. After a few listens. I had a hard time trying to pin a label on this band's music. The best I could come up with was that Mother Love Bone's music was comprised of the singing style of a laid-backAxl Rose or Ian Astbury of the Cult. the guitaring of Led Zepplin. and an overall feel of a mainstream Jane's Addiction. Not exactly a clear picture. If I had to pick one artist that they do resemble I would have to say the Cult in some ways. What is really amazing about this record is how all the songs seem to form one continuous musical flow. Each song blends in with the next. The amazing part is that some songs are rock-oriented while others are much slower paced. Therefore, it is more enjoyable to listen to the record as a whole DEAD-MAN PIE Combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 cup dty bread crumbs, 1/ 4 cup grated onion, 1/ 4 cup chopped green pepper, 1 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. oregano, 1/8 tsp. pepper and 1/ 2 of a 7 1/2 oz. can of tomato sauce. Mix well. Pat meat mixture into bottom and sides of greased deep 9-inch pie plate. Combine 1 1/2 cans (7 1/2 oz. each) tomato sauce, 1 cup water, 1 1/3 cups Minute Rice, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese. Spoon into meat shell. Cover with alwninum foil. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Uncover and top with 4 to 6 tomato slices and sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered 10 to 15 minutes longer. To serve, cut into wedges. Serves 5 or 6. rather than only one Qr two songs. The only really negative thing about the record is that it lacks any "killer" songs. Sure, some songs I prefer over others and my favourites are "Man of Gold~n Words", "This is ·,shangrila". and "Stardog Champion", but there aren't any songs that become embedded in your head. I would recommend this album to those people who like, let's say, psychedelic rock? The only dn!wback is that if you really enjoy the music you may have to be content in listening only. to this album. Toe reason for this is that the lead singer and lyricist of Mother Love Bone, AndrewWood, died last year ll February 14. 1991 BONE and whether or not the group will continue is,up in the air. It's a shapie that a tragedy such as this had to happen to a band that had a fair amount of talent ana deserved the recognition they had received.

I hope this list may help in making it a romantic and a happy ·valentine's Day for all (and to all a good night? Ed.). ♦ the musfc as something their grandparents listened to in the "good ole days." This attitude is slowly changing and greatly aiding this change is Harry Connick Jr. Connick, a young (born 1968) and extremely talented gentleman. Playing the piano, singing old standards as well as composing his own pieces in the old style certainly proves that the big band.Jazz and swing era ls alive and kicking. And so ts the romance that went along with it. Connick's fourth album we are in love (released 1990), is perfect for setting that Valentine's Day mood. The songs mainly written and/or arranged by Connick himself are all about love: be it the perfect love, lost lQVe or a temporary love. What makes this album so romantic is not so much the lyrics, which are often cliche, as the presentation. Underlying most .of the pieces is either a swing qr jazz beat that is always perfect for dancing cheek to cheek, just as Rogers and Astaire did in ~e thirties and forties. Harry ts helped out on this album by a full orchestra as well as some very talented musicians, including the up and coming Branford Marsalis who does two very touching tenor sax solos on the old standard "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and Conntck's "I'll Dream of You Again." Conntck's own lyrics range from the very powerful sentimentality of ..Drtfting", ..Just a Boy", and the sombre "Buried in Blue" to the delightful silliness of "Heavenly", "Recipe for Love", and "I've Got a Great Idea." All in all, when it comes to setting that romantic mood this Valentine's Day, we are in love is an excellent choice.

Love: The Keeper Of The Love Shackl Rock 'n roll in general suffered from a severe case of the ZZZ's in the early 70's with the exceptions of some great folkies like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, the funky soul bands (The Temptations, Gladys Knight and The Pips, etc.) and the bluesy, heavy metal sound of Led Zeppelin. Oops, and we can't forget David Bowie! Unfortunately, mediocrity triumphed onAM radio, and, as a result, we are blessed with this collection, a mixed bag of the groovy, the blah and the outright snoozers of early 70's Canadian rock. • I played this tape with an open mind, hoping to discover that my prepubescent tastebuds were somehow prejudiced and my matured musical judgment would dissolve those old perceptions. This is what I discovered: 1) If one runs out of words in the middle of a song. just interject in between verses with a few "La La Las" or "Doo Doo Doos" or repetitions of a phrase ad nauseam ("Ljke you do, like you, like you do ... "). 2) Can't think of a new, imaginative word that rhymes with "long hair"? Just stick a 'yeah" at the end of each line and, hopefully, no one will notice. 3) The general public must have loved long, dragged-out, pretentious, useless guitar solos in those days. 4) Men with long hair and beards were usually trying to hide their buck teeth. O.K., so I'm nit-picking. This collection isn't 1ba1 disgusting. In fact, you may discover a few sunny spots in an otherwise murky period in rock'n roll. For example, Crowbar released the definitive Canadian party tune in 1971. (Never mind Trooper's "Raise a Little Hell") "Oh What a Feeling" mixes shout-along lyrics and borrows generously from James Brown to create a fabulous dance tune. Unfortunately, it's burdened with the worst beginning ever· recorded in modem music. But, "don't ever be a do-do":just sµffer through tt and I promise you won't be disappointed. Play loud. ' Another gem is R Dean Taylor's "Indiana Wants Me", brought to you by the same guy who helped write ..Love Child" for the Supremes. He has a lmack for creating great "sociological" dramas and has groovy Bobby Goldsboro hair, too. Other genuinely listenable songs include Keith Hampshire's version of "The First Cut Is The Deepest" (which beats out Rod Stewart's weenie version any day), Lighthouse's "One Fine Morning". and Ian Thomas' "Painted Ladies", although the last two tunes suffer from the aforementioned "I've-run-out-of-things-to-say" syndrome. Some of the selections appear to be compromises, understandably because of a problem obtaining the rights. Probably, as a result. Edward Bear's "You, Me and Mexico" is included instead of "Last Song" (who would ever name a band after Winnie-the-Pooh?) and the Guess Who is conspicuously absent. We are also inflicted with a few ZZZ-inducing tunes like the Stampeder's "Sweet City Woman", Copperpenny's ..Sitting on a Poor Man's Throne" and some really dumb-dumb-dumb selections like ..Could You Ever Love Me Again" by Gary and Dave and "Su,n Goes By" by Dr. Music (but, if you're into songs that' sound like car commercials. who am I to dispute your taste?). So. if nostalgia makes you feel all warm and sloppy inside, then sit back, kick off your Pepsi-Cola platform sneakers and enjoy.

"The situation is no different for female students. On average female students earn less than men and have less secure jobs." Statistics Canada reports that out of 192,016 parttime students in 1983, 97,000 were women. By 1989, the number of women studying part-time had jumped to 170,500 - representing 65 per cent of the total part-time student population. More women have to study part-time because they face more financial difficulties than men, Duncan said. The federation is conducting a study to find out exactly how much less women students earn in summer jobs than men. ..Prellminary results show by Heidi Modro MONIREAL (CUP) -With the Canadian economy plunging into a recession, more and more women will be forced to study part-time, the Canadian Federation of Students says. Already 60 per cent of part-time Canadian students are women and that percentage will probably rise as female students lose their Jobs and find it harder to find work, said Caryn Duncan, a CFS researcher. "More women study parttime because they can't afford the costs of a full-time education," Duncan said. "The recession is coming along and is already worsening women's poor financial situation." Duncan said women have so far been harder hit by the recession than men. "Women in general tend that women generally earn less money during the summer and have to necessarily make up for any shortfall by working more parttime hours in the fall," she said. , In summer jobs created through the federally-funded Summer Employment/Experience Development program, women don't fare as well as men. In 1989, women earned 50 cents less per hour than men in SEED Jobs, according to a CFS report. There are more women studying part-time because many have children and are saddled with child care responsibilities, said Denise Louvain, a part-time social work professor at the Universite de Montreal. "Most universities have very bad child-care facilities." Louvain said. "If you have a child and want to study full-time it is very difficult to find someone to take care of that child. Usually the woman will just choose to stay home with the child and try to work out something with her husband relative, or friend so she can attend classes at least some of the time." , Toe problem is even more acute for single mothers who not only have to find child care but also have to hold down a part-time job because Quebec's loans and grants program is not adequate. "Over the past decade, we've noticed that more single women with chil'ilren are going back to school, .. Louvain said. "But the province's loans and bursaries system barely lifts a woman and her child above the poverty line. I know a case of one single-mother for whom it took eight years to·get her Bachelor's because she had to hold down a fulltime Job as a secretary in order to live comfortably with her child."

"Aboriginal people are able to provide that perspective and more likely to reflect the aboriginal perspective." "Chartrand also said that aboriginal teachers can, through their passion and sensitivity, more accurately provide a true account of aboriginal history. �- - - - - ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TheArgus Page 3 February28.1991 . .

LU Berlefits from Provincial - ~- -- - ------ - - - - - - - - - - - - -' Money I I I By Iriformation Services Ontario colleges and uni- versities are getting a piece of the province's $700 million anti-recession pie. A total of 65 short-term labour intensive projects in 27 municipalities have been approved totalling $94 million. According to Colleges and Universities Minister Richard Allen, the projects are expected to create a total of 42515 person-weeks of employment which includes $54 million for specific major projects and$ 40 million for maintenance and renovation projects. "Colleges and universities play a significant role in the economic well-being of their communities. Tilis funding will make a big difference in the lives of many .workers and the communities they live in, while providing longterm benefits to our postsecondary system" the Minister said. I Lakehead had two proj- I ects approved including a $1.6 million renovation to I Cornwall School and de- I ferred maintenance projects totalling $550000. In the I case of Cornwall, a "Condi- I tion Study" finalized last fall identified a long list of necessary renovations for the 87 year old structure: upgrading to meet code deficiencies, handicap accessibility and reconditlontng'the outside of the building and some grounds work. The approved deferred maintenance grant will help, but falls short of the University's orJginal proposal which tnciuded. a 5-year maintenance plan totalling $4 million. 'According to Peter Kerr, Coordinator of Construction Projects on Campus, "we11 need to prioritize I the shopping list". 1 Confederattpn College received $483000 for major I renovations to the Shuntah I Building. , ..... - • - - I REGISTRATION FORM I I for I SENSIBLE SUMMER SAFETY for STUDENTS I I Saturday, M,rch 9, 1991 9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Lower Lecture Theatre I I I Please Print I I NAME _ _ _ _ _c;;:::~.:;:=:------------First Name Surname I DEPARTMENT _ _ __ _ _ __ _ _ __ _ YEAR._ _ _ _ _ __ I I SUMMER·EMPLOYMENT (past or future) e.g.: Kitchen, pipeline, highway construction I I I I (Submit completed r~istration fonn to Security Office) FREE FREE FREE I I FREE •I I ----------- ---- ----- •• _ " •••••••••• ., •• - •• - •••••••• - • • .. • .. • • . .. . ..... ........................... 1 ~. . . .

Why? Because of the number of fights and the amount of vandalism associated with the Study. the university holds of the liquor licence for the Study and they have the authority to· close it if they feel it is necessary. LUSU operates the pub and it is our. Job to make sure that we never give the university the reason to close it. So from now on, ~yone caught fighting of inciting a fight in the Study will not only be banned from the, pub but will also be chaiged under the Code of Student Behaviour and Disciplinary Procedures. Under the Code, a studentcan be assessed a fine as wen as given community service. If the fine is not paid or the hours assessed are not worked, the indMdual involved will not graduate or receive a transcript. The pun1shment is assessed ancr meted out by the university, not the Student Union. Furthermore, ff you sign a guestrin who starts a fight or commits an act of vandalism on campus, you are responsible and can also be charged under the act; the person who w~ ~ed-in will be dealt with by the police.

This ends up costing each student on campus one way or another. Either LUSU covers the cost, in which case it means fewer services or higher prices, or the university pays, then the campus as a whole suffers. There is so much damage done to glass • each year that the institution tenders the contract to replace windows and doors. It will cost close to $40,000 this year. The estimated cost of an elevator in the Saunders building, to make it accessible to handicap students, is $80,000 or two years of shattered glass. We at LUSU do not believe in the concept of collective guilt, but if the type of battles that have occurred in the bar in the last few weeks continue, we may shut the doors ourselves. People are being injured and the cost of replacing damaged property is becoming too htgli. We cannot afford this kind of behaviour in tbe new Student Centre, • 111.1 .& V'lClOBlA AV&. . . , .....

On an equally sombre note, it ts now official that the Canada Employment Centre on Campus (CECOC) will be closing sometime in the next t.l)ree years. As of yet we have not been told any dates or what level of service is to be maintained during the closure. Michline Rachette, the ofilcJal spokesperson for the Minister of State for Youth used the Nielson Report of 1986 as the ex-. cuse for the shutdown. I will not call her a liar. since that would be slanderous. The information that I have received from various sources indicates that the decision was made at the b\.fI'eaucratic level in December ·= of last year. Under the , Nielson Report, 30% of the budgets for CECoc•s have already been cut sometime ago. There ts no document that I lmow of with a Minister of the Crown's signature on tt -· 1• which states government policy as being .that of a .,,, closure. Ms. Rachette . had a yelling contest with her over the phone on • Feb. 22, 1991) prefers the euphemism of 'consolidation' to closure. So when the locks on the doors of the Employment centre are changed and all the staff have been dispersed to the four corners of the: Earth, the Centre is not closed but consolidated. The Feds, even when confronted with justtft- • able arguments on why the CECOC should be kept open, would not budge. The regional· manager in Thunder Bay for the Mtnistry of Employment did not Wish to close the Centre, but he was vetoed by Ottawa. When pointed out that our employment centre co-ordinates all the Canada Employment Centres for the region, Rachette satd the main ofilce will take on this task. When questioned on the governments commitment to students and Post Secondary Education. Michline replied that the same level of service would be maintained at the other offices in Thunder Bay. Again, I will not call her a liar. How does the government expect employers, like IBM, who are looking for a variety of grads in differing fields. to establish contact and set up interviews with students on campus ff there is no Employment Centre? I quizzed the irrepressible M. Rachette on how the communtty would be expected to assist the government in its much flaunted Stay in School Programme ff the message it is sending ts ·once you get to university, go t9 hell, we couldn't gtve a damn about you'.

Instead of taking a preventative approach to unemployment, the government is now going to shift resources to processing UI claims for students who could not find work because they shut down the employment Centre, which the university lets them have rent free. It will end up costing them more money to move the Centre than t o leave it where it is right now.

With the announcement by Ken Allen (Mtntster of Colleges and Universities), of the 8% increase tn university tuition, we realJze just how much the NDP were lying to us. This tncrease ts about the same as that made by the Liberal government last year. In fact, it was that dectsion by Peterson which prompted many students governments and the, Ontario Federation of Students to offer support to the NQP because they recognJzed the tight ftnanc1al restrains students must overcome to get an education. Allen told reporters that ·there is no simple solution to our funding ~emma, we need the continued support of stud~nts, f~culty and administration to improve education.

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, tn polluting the Persian Gulf and setting oil wells ablaze, has exceeded the environmental crimes committed by anyone 1n history. Increasing numbers of people are convtnced the planet ts at a crossroads. It appears however, that hosttlittes are coming _ to a close. The president of a Calgaiy firm, speclaliz1ng In the exttnguishtng of oil well fires, said the company wUl be one of three preparing to ship out to Kuwait. He said lt could take up to-three years to put out the fires. Now for the bad news. During the next stx months "It wUl be hard to get them out of their bunkers." This was the reaction of the president of the Canadian Consumers Association 1n Ottawa, to The 1991 Budget read in the House of Commons. He was not referring to Iraqi soldiers but to Canadian consumer's reaction to the barrage of the Goods and Services Tax and the aforementioned budget. It may not be so ironic how military metaphors lend themselves to the issue of the country's economy. On the Post-secondary Education Front, the Premier of Ontario, Bob Rae (NOP), defended Ontario's recent 8% tuition Increase by saying "There 1s no free lunch. There ~ever was a free lunch and there certainly isn't a free lunch now." ~e NDP government has tgnored"party pollcy, broken its election promise, and insulted Ontario's students by suggesting they wanted a "free ride". The Ontario Federation of Students Chairperson, nm Jackson, calls the comment "offensive and should be retracted." The Federal Budget brought down in the Ottawa House of Commons this week was charactertzed by the Canadian Federation of Students' (CFS) Chairperson, Jane Arnold, as "just one indication of how shortsighted this government really is" . Canada's Finance Minister, Michael Wilson (PC). continued the federal government's "attack on post-secondary education by extending the present two year freeze on federal transfer payments for untversittes and colleges to five years", states the CFS. The Canadian Government of Brian Mulroney will cut $775 million from post-secondary education 1n 1992-93 alone. Students-will pay 8% more in Ontario for $775 million less of education (nationally). Over five years they expect to recapture $3.8 billion. The CFS's Jane Arnold's pleads that "students represent canada's single most Important investment in the future: our ability to compete and prosper." Compete and prosper. It would appear these two levels of government have formed a "Coalition" to ,"prosecute to the fullest their resolutions to knock out the ability of any (student) to Command and Control" their future. Students can anticipate a greater percentage will only be able to attend part-tlme. It will take longer to complete their education, thereby r~uctng their earnings over the long tenn. Facilities will 1¥tve to be replaced or upgraded at a lower rate. ·• All this ls because of ·the deficit" and the need to reduce it, or so we are told. Both the Federal and the Provincial governments of the day say that their respective "deficits" were caused by the previous governments; that for the last 30 or so years, we (the country) have been lMng beyond our means: that n owe $15,000 for every citizen and child and now l!.C have to start paying tt back. Well, Premier Bob, if there "has never been a free lunch" for students in the past, why should students have to pay for your free lgnches now? Growing up, I was always told that if I wanted to have those extra-special things that I wanted, I would have to babysit. mow a lawn, deliver papers, rake leaves or earn extra money somehow because there were rio free lunches. 1bat was a lie. There were. It's Just that now the free lunches are all gone and now 1.btx want 111 to pay the bill. Remember these years well. You will recant with pride the fact that "I couldn't afford the bus fare and had to walk miles 1n -35C temperatures in the dead of winter. With •holes in my socks and 1n need of a new coat, boots and gloves. I had so far to go because I couldn't afford to live anywhere but way down in Rubbytown after they kicked us 2nd year students out of rez. My friends and I lived on macaroni and what we could scavange from the 3 part-time fast food restaurant jobs we all had to have." Your grandchildren will be amazed and Lmpressed With how tough you were. Thanks Mom, thanks Dad. Uncle Sob, Uncle B111, Uncle Brian. Uncle Pierre.

Oh Canada, Our Home and Native Land? I By Noel Ward On Februazy 21, former Minister of Northern Native Affairs for the Province of Manitoba. Elijah Harper spoke to a small crowd in the Ryan Building. Harper, himself a Native, came into the limelight last summer when he blocked the Meech Lake Accord from passing in the Manitoba Legislature. • Last week, Harper was here at Lakehead to discuss Native Self-Government and the importance of education. ,Having Self-Government would mean that the Natives would manage their own affairs, develop their institutions and control their own destiny. It 1s a matter that ......-. should begin at the community level, through education. as Governments cannot legtslate respect and dignity. Harper was very optimistic about the concept of Native self- government. pointing out that Natives are simply striving for that which has already been fought for and achieved by non-native Canadians -- the right for all to be treated equally and fairly. However, despite this common desire, the relationship between Native and nonnatives bas "not been that great." Rather, it has lead to resentments and misunderstandings. As it now stands, only the federal and provincial governments have the jurisdic- tio1,1 to make laws that affect the people of Canada. These laws are often made without regard for the aboriginal peoples, nor do they have any room to make laws to effectively govern themselves. Education, the Key Education. something which Harper stressed greatly throughout his speech. ts vital to Native self-government. Yet. the lack of education, Harper stated, ts the greatest problem facing Native peoples today. He also stressed that contnuy to public opinion, Native people do not get a free education at the expense of Canadian taxpayers. The money for Native education, as well as other government sponsored Native programs was to come from revenue generated from the resources on land acquired by the Canadian government through treaties with the aboriginal peoples. This revenue was guaranteed in those treaties. Harper also pointed out that often the allotted money does not make it to the Native people. It is tied up 1n administration costs of Native programs. In addition he stated that the natives ar.e not receiving all the benefits from those resources that they should be, that the Canadian Govemment has not fulfilled their duties as laid out in the 1!eaties .signed.

The group, organized by hire Natives. Oftenthisisnot the case. Citing Hydro development as an example, Harper explained how Natives do not get choice jobs in these project~ even when they are qualified. For example, many companies demand that their engineers have at least five years experience. As a resuit, newly trained Native engineers are not hired. Tactics such as this consistently block Natives from getting the proper Jobs they are qualified for. Thus, they are forced to continually accept labour intensive Jobs. Unfair practices like these have been repressing Natives, and' government injustices have been preventing the Natives from getting all that they deserve and are entitled to. For these reasons.

Before beginning the march the protestors were challenged by a World War II veteran who condemned their actions. He shouted that if ·the Ger.mans had had knowledge of the Allies plans, the outcome of WWII might have been much dtfferent. Protest organizer • David Ramsay expressed understanding for the veteran's opinions. but suggested that much of the milttary censorship in the Gulf was unnecessazy. Ramsay pointed to cases of suppressed information that had no direct bearing on militazy operations, such as reports of student protests and after the fact reporting of cM11an casualties that have not reached the public. Marching through downtown Port Arthur towards the Courthouse, the group handed out fliers on censorship and received both positive and negative feedback. In front of the Courthouse the group shared their concerns through song and speech.

Governments which fail to invest in education • as has been so clearly_the case 1n the past decade - are not snnply short changing a generation of students. They are literally short changing the country." You also noted With respect to "access and accesstbility" that: "I can th1rik of no issue more fundamental to a democratic society. Yet, if you look at the continuing over-reliance on fees by ow public institutions, the extraordtnary debt burden which we are asking each Individual student to carry and the ipcredible barriers to conUnuing education which exist for so many workers as they get older, it 1S clear that the battle for accessibility has yet, to be won." . In your government's recent funding announcement you continued the woefully inadequate fundtngofthepastdecadewhich has led university and college presidents to call for tuition fee increases as a desperate way of raising revenues.

I'm only going to warn you once, if a CJ.RI. (Canadian Internal Record Investigator) comes to your home with a fully authorized search and ,p rocure warrant and fails to discover The Tragically Hip's latest album Road.Apples in your possession you will immediately be deported from Canada with out the normally required due process oflawtrltl ..... Soyouhave never heard of the CJ.RI., you thinkl'mjustadeluded irrational Hip junkie eh .... go ahead take the chance you may even get away with it, but wouldn't you rather just be safe and purchase the album? One of the most striking qualities pertaining to the Tragically Hip ts the depth of their lyrics. The album is steeped in Canadiana, without the obvious nationalistic slap in the face delivered by the Stompin' Tom Connors of the world. No other Canadian band has managed to so subtly work Canadian tmage:ry into their music. The perfect example of this is "Born in The Water", a song that comments on the English only law passed in Sault Ste. Marie, or Soo St. Mary which ever appeals most to your linguistic bias~ When the Hip were last Interviewed by the Argus they stated that they hoped to polarize their musical styles. ln other words make the hard stuff harder and the soft stuff softer. They have definitely succeeded in fully exploring the softer, ballad (though they hate the word ballad) oriented side of their talent. Songs Uke "Fiddler's Green" and ''The Last of The Unplucked Gems" are true expressions of the b~ds desire to explore the often cliched ballad format with Integrity and ingenuity. For those fans of that hard.rock southern electric blues sound have no fear there are a number of pounding rhythmic rock sounds included in the package. "Little Bones" and "On The Verge" are absolutely debilitating songs, the respective Intros have a hypnotic effect on the listener sending him immediately down the road of rock ecstasy. For all you English majors out there, who are probably being driven nuts while reading my syntax, there is something for you on this album as well. 1iy if you might to pick out the allusions to Shakespeare through the album. If you're really bored you can stay up all night and write a three page interpretive Critique, I would love to read it (no really I wouldn't but don't let that stop you from enjoying the album). If you recall seeJng any of the recent Hip co11certs you might remember a song Uiat was titled "Crack My Spine Like A Whip". This deliriously energized track was for some godforsaken reason not included on the album. After contacting my lawyer and discovering that a law suit was inappropriate action in response to this short sighted err.or qn the part of the band and their producer I have decided to chastise them publicly in my review. Realizing full well that the future success of the Tragically Hip rests it full weight on .~whether or not they receive a favourable review from the Argus (This is sarcasm for all you people out there who are convinced I am a egomaniac), I will not criticize them to severely. Aside from a few relatively minor disappointments let me assure you that this is one sensational album. A definitive statement from a band that ts quickly becoming representative of the cutting edge in Canadiana influenced Rock and Roll. P.S. Those familiar with their last album, up to here, should watch for more of Gordon Downie's clever word play as was found on ''I'll Believe In You (Or I'll Be ~aving You Tonight)'". Tilis can be found on "Little Bones", a hard rocking song that subliminally makes its point with a sly play on words. RUN - DMC BACK FROM HELL Review by Brian B. I can't really say that I was in the mood to listen to some rap tunes, since I am on an alternative binge these days. But after I sat clown and forced myself to listen to Run-D.M.C.'s new album Back From Hell. I suppose I could give it somewhat of an approval: It's probably better that I elected to do this review, because havtng an open mind definitely helped . Dick Dyck would probably have a discharge if he found this album playing in his cassette deck, and heaven forbid if Travis's deck were to receive such a vile compilation of acoustic assaults on the ears. Toe album didn't really turn my crank, although tt'had a couple of catchy tunes . on it. '"What's It All About", the first single, is likely my favourite from the lot. because it samples the beats and bassllne from The Stone Roses' hit single "Fool's Gold". All through the album, though, it is ~dent that the band is trying to cash in on the "obscene lyrics" craze that most rap artists seem to be on these days. I even saved the little sticker from the plastic wrapping as a memento. The scratches and edits were almost non-extste.n t. save for the odd slip on behalf of the crew's DJ, Jam Master Jay. Said JMJ in the release that accompanied the album "It's good to be back with our people: I want to hear them say "Hey I heard your-ney.r album, and it was defl" or even "I heard your new record and I hated it!" 'That's good for .me." Ya, well. I'll go in between and say I heard Run-D.M.C. 's new record, and some of you will love it, but the majority might find it a little too "'def'. Caveat emptor, folks. I would say this one's only for the serious rap school, like Public Enemy and NWA fans. B B B (three out of five B's.) • A note from Co - News Ed. MC Kenzie.

There's Jots of shots of the band, including topless Pere, who as far as I'm concerned, should remain that way. While the video is slightly remlniscent of the Chill Peppers, they are a real pleasure to watch, and it even involves some thinking as the video closes. Be sure and watch for the new cllp on the Nation's Music Statton around the end of next week. It's a winner. THE Page 13 Februaiy2S. 1991 CONCERT REVIEW by DGrCJI Diem The crowd was eager for Bootsauce-to make their appearance. Three hundred or more fans crowded Into the confines of Crocks n Rolls with the expectancy of having a great time and indeed they did. The setting was strange, with a diversity of peop!e ranging from hard core peadbangers to preppies and everything in between. The ages of the fans varied also from high school seniors to middle aged white collar workers. i The opening band had just finished wanning up Ute crowd and the crowd was yearning for more. The extended area of the stage i;ncorporated most of the dance floor so that little room was left ·for the crowd. Slowly people began to stake out their area in front of the stage. By the time that Bootsauce came out, the dance floor was literally packed with people. • Then the noise began. First it was the crowd with shouting and hollering. Then the moment came when the band started. The music was even niore incredible live. It is very hard to define the Bootsauce sound because of their diversity. In some of the songs seem to have some Red Hot Ch111 Peppers influence, ·like the song "Masterstroke" that has a strong lead bass. The song that introduced them was a slower song, "Come Play With Me" and some faster songs that are all their own, The band consists of two guitar players, a bass player, a drummer, Marc Mywards, and the lead singer-, Drew. One of the guitar players, Sonny, sports dreadlocks ancl a large thick Jacket with white furry shoulders. I-le also had what looked like small skirts attached jus~ below each of his knees in a vibrant purple that matched his guitar. The rest of the bands clothing was made to attract attention, with tight yellow pants and other things that could have been found in a second hand store for the deranged. The music starts and so did the battle to retain your place in the crowd. I was right at the front with the lead mike directly in front ·o fme. Then came a black wave of head bangers that crashed like a tidal wave into the unsuspecting crowd. Waves of push~g and shoving surged throughout the mass. The stage started with a space of ten feet and slowly closed to with a few feet because 6f the pushing. I was told later that many people .could not see, but I was pushed so close that I could even smell the band. The intense heat from the large number of people in the room immediately created a coating of sweat on everyone dancing. The exertion of staying vertical and alive also added to the moisture. As the wave of people crash.eel back and forth, suddenly a single body was thrust above everyone's heads and remained there, floating on the sea of arms and heads to eventually find a home at the back of the crowd. Tilis happened many times as the night progressed. The total abandon of the crowd matched the intensity of the band and their music. The flailing heads and gyrating bodies unified all the different types in the crowd. The surging mass of people gave me bruises that 1 won't soon forget. My only salvation for a time was the mike stand that I used for support to keep myself upright. This did not help as the crowd surged and Drew was dancing and swinging his anns and I was caught on the side of the head with his fist. Another time, I fell flat on the stage and when I rose up from the ground, I felt the bass guitar crack the back of my head. As usual, no permanent injuries were sustained. I hope that none of this scares people away form a Bootsauce concert because I'm sure that the music was very enjoyable in the back of the bar and was probably a lot safer. To sum up, the Bootsauce concert was a total expertence which leaves you exhausted but still wanting more. ·(By the way, Darcy wants the world to know that he is in Engineering n.

A r g u s Page 14 Februaiy28. 1991 · NT IDYL TEA: BAND GOOD ••• NAME BAD by Greg Oppedisano I have yet to encounter a single tndMdual, who when confronted with the name Idyl Tea, didn't tmmecliately come to the conclusion that they were about to hear the music of the latest Canadian rapper. Let me now extend full warning that nowhere on this .self titled debut album will there be found a African Canadian exonerating his better qualities while Insulting his predecessors abilities to do Justa.bout anything. Please note th~t this comment should In no way be construed as a racist one, only a pathetic attempt at humour through the stereotyping of rap music. What you should lmow however, is that Idyl Tea is very much a representative of the growing pool of talented artists to arrive on the Canadian Music scene: Agrass roots band which employs a well rounded mixture of acoustic and electpc guitars to produce a vecy likable sound. Iri accordance with the traditional ' Canadian band, Idyl Tea h~'adopted a seriously strange name. In fact I have officially concluded that they have taken ar,t place from the Northern Pikes In the ever important categocy of: Great Bands With Dumb Names. The album itself contains music which is consistently well ,written. All ls not roses 1n music land as 't he album does contain a couple of dull tracks. "'lbe Heartbeat Song" is an excellent qcample of unimaginative, and unmotivated rock and roll. The lyrtcs drone on and on and on and ... and the guitar riffs are pretty boring to. "Mr. Air Toaffic Controller", and "Sad So Long" are songs to be filed In that tedtbus Failed Experiments Categocy. These lulls are remarkably contrasted by a number of truly great songs. The first single off the album, •oh Brother", is an by Chris Williams excellent example ofldyl Tea's ability to mix lyrtcs and music to You've seen the posters. You've prQbably subconsciously thought. "tie me to a pig and produce a emotional response from the listener. roll me in the mud. if that guy doh't look like George Michael's stunt double." He's not "Telephone Call From God Knows Where" is my personal however. (although he speaks with a thick Manchesterlan accent). His name is Michael favourite on the album. A telephone call 1n the night, full of Hanrahan and he plays Dennis Cairi in Magnus Theatre's production of Willy Russell's denials, explanation and fearful emotions.

One example of an inexperienced director being snubbed is the case of Sam Raim1 who's direction made the·dark, brooding Darlanan into a stylish and slick fUck. ---------------------So there is how I see the Oscars turning out. By the way. I think that there are a few movies left out that deserve mention. Both Hamlet and Hunt For Red Octoberwere snubbed by the Academy and only nominated for lesser Oscars such as costume, sound and special effects. nus. however, is the way things go in the world of Hollywood politics. The Oscars will be presented on March 25th and. politics aside, it will be a star-studded night to remember. 1 a El .___P_o_w_el_l ---'I fOWJFlL EQ!lDPMFNf IJMmD B's House By MCBrianB Welcome back from the break, for those ofyou who took it.

Uphill capacity is the catchword-of the 90s in alpine skiing. Skiers today can enjoy shorter line-ups and quicker rides to the top of their favourite trails all because of the technical advances in ski-life capacity. For example, a double chair-life has been replaced by a quadruple ljfe and can carry trice as many skiers to the top every hour: The newest addition to the ski-lift industry, the detachable quadruple life, further increases the number of skiers transported per hour because it moves significantly faster than the older lifts. This service improvement, coupled with better grooming, has increased skier enjoyment but has also led to safety problems. "If there are less people ' waiting in line then there are bound to be more people on the trail," states M,:-. Robert Bee, a fifteen-year veteran of the St. John's Skil>atrol. He and other safety experts believe there is a causal rela- • tionship between uphill capaclty and collision •d ace ents. Overgrooming is another potentially lethal problem. Trails are so w~ll-groomed that • do no·t rea1·1ze sk1ers how fast they are going until they have to stop or qui~ly change direction. The advanced grooming equipment of the 90s was developed during the snow drought years of the 70s. These -improvements were required to keep what little snow was available, on the trail. Skiers became so accustomed to the c~et-like feel of the snow that it soon J:>:ecame the norm rather than the exception to see smooth, steep and wide slopes. Combine uphill capacity with overgrooming and you end up with too many skiers on the hill, going too fast, on skis that are hard to control (because of the longer length of today's skis)a dangerous situation at best, a fatal one at worst. The Canadian Ski Patrol 1989-1990 Season National Statistical Report shows that 10 828 injuries were sustained during that season. Of these, 679 were collisionrelated. Amidst all this doom and gloom, there is hope. It begins with strict adherence to the skiers' responsibility code: 1.Ski under control and in such a manner that you can stop or avoid other skiers or objects. 2.When skiing downhill or overtaking another skier, you must avoid the skier below you. 3.You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above. 4.Whel'.l entering a trail or starting downhill, yield to other skiers.

The Canadian Red Cross Society in Ontario is urging people to take advantage of.Red Cross Month to learn more about The Society and the services available to them in their community.

But few people realize the scope of Red Cross, the uniqueness of its character, and the diversity of its services and prqgrams.

ARGUS ET,ECTION GUIDE Tony Le Blanc: Vice President Finance ' What do you foresee the revenues from the Student Centre In it's first year to be -and what do you plan to do with any surplus or deficit? I am convinced-that we l£lll have a surplus next year. To begin with, we will not be giving "liquor Services" a percentage of sales any more--the use of Cafeterias for staging events will stop. We w1ll be draining potential food revenues from the cafeteria ~cause the quality of food w1ll be better in our building. The Centre is also capable of hosting banquets, receptions and other special functions which we, LU, or the City of Thunder Bay may use. Now that the capacity will be 700 and programming will be intensffted, together with the excellent media on the new buildingsofar, there can ONLY be a surplus. I would spend the surplus in three ways. First, I would ~et up a fund for capital improvements so we may advance with technology and make repatrs to items that could break down. Secondly, I would increase the volume of services and programming. Lastly I would put the money back into the Centre to subsidise the prices of food and alcohol-making= food and drinks inexpensive. It is not fair for LUSU to squeeze more money than we have to from the students who own the building. As VP Finance, it ls your duty to put together the Student Handbook. Considering the current recession how would you go about making tt profltabfe and use- ful? • First off, placing your priority on an economic drive to make money, may seriously risk the quality of the event or servi'ce being planned. As a "non-profit" corporation operating in a captive market without competitors, the VP Finance !llllfil consider · the Students needs first rather than focusing on a p~rsonal accompli~hment to make money and look good. Without another Hand- book on Campus to compete with, the elected person may have their objectives misgutdea as to the importance of quality verses a source of revenue. I can guarantee you that with my experience so far with producing the Handbook last year, I will prevent it from losing money and, at the same time, retain the level of excellence that you expect. As for the "Space Crunch" on campus for Clubs and organizations, how would you like to see the problem solved? By coordinating the influence and power I've had with chairing various committees, •more Club offices will be erected with the proper funding. I have already given 5 office space~ away this year and expec1 another 5 to be gtv~ out nexi year, with the privacy they hav< always asked for.

In addition many departments have already offered space to academic clubs. How do you plan to deal with the issues of club fundIng and the current lack of club space?

The excess monies may be directed towards the loan, retiring it more quickly, may be used to overcome an· operating deficit, or may be directed towards services and programming for students. tion~ staff training will be needed in the first year.

The most important academic issue on campus right now is the proposed abolishment of supplemental exams.

This will enable the students 'to stay on campus and see these events fre~. instead of having to pay a cover charge at a bar in town.

If you really get Finally, congratulations to Travis Beb;:-ose who was bored, then tiy and actually IJSTEN to what the person has elected as the Argus Editor-in-Chief for next year. okay.,. so its LUSU election tlme and the Argus office Defending The Fifth Estate ~ There 1s lo: go~ on In the w~rld rtght now, but for the Argus there is a pressing concern that exists close to .home. The concern is LUSU's proposed Argus poUcy that is going to be discussed Thursday March 7 at the :t;.USU BOD meeting. Actually, concern is too ltght of word in this situation, threat ts more applicable at this tfine. Why are we upset-with this new Argus policy (printed last issue)?. Basically. our objections are twofold; we dislike having an impeachment process that is out of the hands of Argus members, and we dislike the role of a proposed Argus Editorial Board (AEB) as tt is currently stated. The two problems are interrelated. An advisory board is actually a fair idea, but only insofar as it would be used as a mechanism for constructive criticism and advice. Attaching the weight of the power to impeach would damage this advtsoxy factor as the Editor In Chief would harbour a certain degree of suspicion concerning the motives of the Board members offering their optntons on the paper. ; The impeachment concept is quite-alarming 1n itself. The fear here Ues 1n the ability of people who are not Argus members to remove the Editor on what could amount to personal vendettas and differences of op1n1on disguised as infringements on the Statement Of Principles. In case you are not aware, we have an impeachment mechanism of our own, if the need ever surfaced. ; In t11,e March 4, 1991 Maclean·s. the stoty of the former editor of The Patriot. Joseph Reedy. ts briefly told. He wrote an anti-war editorial for the Kutzdown. Pennsylvania publication he edited·. The president of the company that owned the pap·er, did not share Reedy's opinion. ~o he was dismissed. Examples such as this one are intimidating when the basic principle of free speech can so easily be infringed on by entitles outside of the editorial staff themselves. Another ·factor is the fear of quick release based on honest mistakes. Consider the infamous "Why I Hate Men" edition ofAnalyst Annie that appeared in the November 29, Faisal Ali 1990 Argus. A case could be made for that section being sexist in nature. Fortunately, Faisal's abfilty as an editor was not questioned by a crusading AEB, so we were able to correct the problem internally, increasing our vigilance for future issues of the paper. The main reason LUSU wants this proposal discussed ls to have a safety valve to turn to if the Argus totally went out of control, espousing sexism, racism, and homophobia. It should be noted that we had a statement of principles based on U1e Canadian University Press standard before LUSU instituted a policy of their own. That ts just one good reason why our discretion in dealing with these matters should be trusted when it comes to the content of our paper. Another is the · fact that in the past three years we have not let anything severely offensive be printed on our pages, making this policy seem like an effect to a cause that has not occurred. If LUSU requires an Argus policy to protect themselves legally, something should be worked out to defend against the potential worst case scenarto. But. as the policy is now written. it is too general and open to interpretations and that has Argives around here thinking ·u p worst case scenarios of their own. Any person that thinks that we are merely paranoid need only look as far as The Lexicon situation at York University. There, the student union is tiytng to shut down the paper •-permanently. Their major reason for doing this is that they do not like what The Lexicon has to say about them all of the time. The history of this conflict is too long to go into, but it shows the risks a student newspaper can face when dealing with sensitive Student Unions. I will close with a quote from an American journalist named AJ. Liebltng that I found 1Ii Maclean's this week. "Freedom of the press belongs to those who own one·. The Argus is not financially a~tonomous, therefore we do not own our press. For the most part. LUSU has realized the importance of allowing us to exercise our freedom of the press. This right should not be comprfilmised. . . . .. . .__Travjs_Belro.se_._..1 . �The Argus Page 6 March 7, 1991 ENTERTAIN • The eyes have it-- irs mad max as the mad prince Laxdal at_., the Movies Photo by'S.Balogh The ~kydiggers Jammin' in the Study by Brian Laxdal DIGGING SK·v AT THE STUDY ,,,.

If you really want to find out, this movie would be a fairly p.oor place to - start. Oliver Stone, director of such great movies as Salvador, Platoon, and Talk Radio;has sadly decided to pursue an intensely personal rendering of Jim Morrison's life. The final result of this effort is an inaccessible movie that serves as more of a psychological case study than as entertainment. much less art. A more accurate title for this movie might- have been "A One Dimensional Look At The Fall Of Jim Morrison". This movie is not about The Doors, and the misleading nature of the title should be understood. The other three Doors (John Densmore, Rob Kreiger, and Ray Manzerak) are only incidental characters that we meet only when it seives Stone's purposes. This is unfortunate because The Doors were definitely more 'than one man in real life. The only purpose this movie seems to have is to mythologize Morrison's plight as the troubled artist. A Toronto Star_crttic count-ered this myth, "It's the lie of the 60s, as seen through a smoky reatview mirror and interpolated by a con man [Stone) with an arresting, grandiose visual style." Stone spares nothing in his attempt to funnel his impressions of Mon1son into our psyche. including coqjecture. One example is the acid trip in the desert portrayed in the movie when the entire band 'comes together'. It is a pretty stirring moment -- too bad it never happened. Drummer Densmore denies it occurred, claiming that "He (Morrison) would be the last person I'd drop acid with". Aware of thi~ forgery, a healthy suspicion about the events of the niovie is fostered, dampening the impact ofreal events such as Jim and Patricia's Wiccan marriage, or Morrison's alleged indecent exposure in Magnus Theatre Presents A wickedly observant comedy by the author of • . EDUCATING RITA Pay-What-You-Can Matinee Saturday March 9, 2:00 pm 639 . . ~c~µghµn Street . , Box Office 623-1321 Miami. The character of Jim Morrison ts not done justice either. Val Kilmer portrays him adequately within the restraining limits Stone confmed him. Former Doors manager, Bill Siddons, accused Stone in PREMIERE Magazine of focussing "virtually exclusively on the more sensational side ofJim's personality and not the man I knew... ". There is no doubt that Morrison had a self destructive personality, but that is not all there was to him. In the fine tradition of Dylan Thomas, Morrison drank himself into oblivion. What Mon1son (and some of his _ fans) forgot, was that it takes much more than an early death to make a writer of lyrics a great poet. Morrison did have his darkstde, darker than most, but he was much more than a symbol of chaos and self destruction. There are a few cameos of note in, this movie, if Billy Idol's forgettable appearance is ignored. Crispin Glover is great as Andy Warhol. and the real Patricia Kennely performance as the witch who marries Jim and Patricia adds . a touch of irony to the scene. The parody of Ea Suijlvan ts overdone however, a grotesque vision likely bas«r<I on some kind o,f Stone nightmare: Stone's myopic vision in this movie is tirlng.

But all things the same the year hasn't been a total waste. Granted. coming into the season there were big hopes for the Leafs to Improve on their 38-38-4, 80 point season oflast. However it was a campaign where the Leafs finished above .500 for the first time in a while, and all expectations may have been premature. The reason for the succuss of the 1989-90 Leafs was due to their high powered offence, which saw.career seasons from Gaty Leeman(51 goals) and Vincent Damphousse(94 points). DefencemanAl ~ t e looked to be accelerating into the upper echelon of NHL defencemen and the goaltending was in the hands of a respectable trio of Mark La.Forest, J\l Bester and Jeff Reese. So what happened this year? The only contest for the mfghty Leafs may be for the "Llndros Bowr. which they can not even win due to the fact that they dealt their first round draft pick to New Jersey for since traded Tom "suitcase" Kmvers. But as the TorontonianS have learned from experience, things can't get any·werse. They all-star break came and saw the Leafs in second last place tn the NHL with a record of 12-31-4(28 points). They were Uurd last 1n·goal scoring, 2.87 / game, second last 1n goals against at 4.17 /game and were second last 1n goal dtfferentlal at a brutal -66. They have gone 5-9-1 since the break and their only chance to make the playoffs is. to catch Minnesota who ts 12 points up and ts 8-4-3 stnce the break, a chance which is slim at best. Both teams have 16 games rematning. All tn all the Leafs have not been the losers their record implies. It can not be denied that GM Floyd Smith has not made an over abundance of trades, dealing Mark Osbourne, Scott Pearson, John McIntyre and more importantly Ed Olczyk and Al Iafrate. However these trades have brought 1:}le Leafs a lot of talent which, in the long run, may help the team. It would be hard to pinpoint the problem of the Leafs but the .botom line leads to the lack of production. Down the list you ffnd that nobody is on the pace they by Theodore Walter were last season.

Dear Editor: In view of the last two issues of the Argus, I thought something more need be said in regards to L. U. security. Last-year I was one of the few active participants in getting petitions toward better security. Well. it looks like a security-'"escort"serv. ice will be implemented. But there is still confusion on organization. Anybody can apply. provided they have the time, know the campus (2nd year and up). can offer character references, and mostly, realize the importance of their position. In addition, they must know the times and places of special events and classes. U is not just walking a girl (most of the time) home and getting her phone number, but rather, that she feel safe.

Imagine the effect of the first nations in an unprecedented show of solidarity, having the biggest peaceful pow-wow demonstration on the front lawn of parliament hill.

Restless, and The Board By Robert McKenzie At last Thursday's LUSU meeting, the first major item of discussion was the precedJng weekend's street dance. Dominant topics ranged from Mother Nature's spitefulness to alternate ram locations for future events of this type. Most discusskm time on the subject dealt with the irate students who paid a rather large sum of • money to be turned away from a promoted beer gardens which closed for business at 10:30. The early closur~ was - Initiated by administtation's I James Marsh. accordJng to Tony LeBlanc. LUSU V.P. Finance. Mr. Marsh was the person in charge of the licensed running of the facility which was located tn the main cafeteria. When later asked about LUSU's reaction to this, Mr. LeBlanc stated that "There was some resistance by LUSU organ17..ers". He went on to explain, however. that with the amount of staff hired for the event and the low numbers of students actually using the facility, " we would have continued to run at a loss anyway." ·.t· .When asked about ~the absence of a beer tent at this year's event, LeBlanc responded that adnun.fstratlon would not permit one as part oftheir endorsement of alcohol-free ~events.

He made it clear that LUSU should threaten CFS with a petition at our institution to withdraw from the organization into which LUSU injects over $20,000.00 each year. . He stated that LUSU cannot afford to sit aside and watch its representation dwindle further into obscurity. This point and all others were considered thoroughly and, after lengthy debate. the position of the board was clear - the threat of withdrawal would be issued to the CFS. Finally, during question period, the topic of LUSU's promotion of American Express was raised by sev• eral concerned councillors. They matnly wanted to 1mow why V.P. Finance, Tony LeBlanc chose to promote that particular card when it requires a full balance payoff every month. Aside from the $5 commission LUSU receives for each card registered for. Mr. LeBlanc stated three other reaso~. The card provides great travel deals for all students ln conjunction with Canadian AJrlines. It provides discounts for its hold· ers at select businesses. And. finally. the company will provide a large programmable electronic sign-board for student use. This will be used for promQtlons in the pub. • When later discussing the Am-Ex promotions, LeBlane stated that he had run into resistance by the Alumni Association for promoting the card as they are promoting another card on campus. Alumni feels that they make more meaningful use of the revenue gained by commissions on their card and LUSU shouldn't compete with that. LeBlanc stated that it was LUSU's intention to provide a service to the students with the advantages that the card can provide for them. The main thrustbehtndthecampaJgn was not the intention of providing competition. LeBlanc feels little doubt that the Alumni position bad influence on administration's choice to forbid LUSU a stand on university property to promote their carcl. He also stated that LUSU should be able to make money as Alumni can since "WSU semces are available to all of our students rather than a select few." Direct from .

Openly defying men like Fidel Castro, Noriega, or Daniel Ortega (as a few examples), was easy for the .Amencan media and Presidential speech writers to do. However it tends to get consistently more dtftlcult for us to befriend world leaders when they walk that fine line between dictatorship and democracy. The removal of Ferdinand Marcos from the Ph1111pines is only one example where a strong message was sent by the U.S. State Department-run your countcy your way, but don't forget where the gravy comes from. A friendly reminder from your neighbourhood CIA. For years, the American and Western governments kept Saddam Hussein 1n what nught appropriately be called the 'good boy' closet. We never wanted to actually call him a close friend, but nine years ago when he boldy stepped across the border in Iran to claim a small piece of land, the West breathed a sigh of relief that som~one was teaching those wicked hostage-takers a lesson. Supplying Iraq with weapons and satellite intelligence wasn't enough-they also let Iraq grow into a formidable power in the Middle East. Now, when Iraq makes peace with Iran (sort of) and steps into Kuwait to claim another disputed chunk ofland (to pay off accumulated war debts), the U.S. and other Western allies are left with mud on their face. There is no doubt that what Saddam Hussein did epitomizes the ruthlessness of a war•monger dictator. but now we sort of look like hypocrites also. It just proves the old adage "superpowers have interests have-not friends." After eight years of fighting With Iran. using Soviet and American Weaponry, spending all of the countcy's oil money, and causing countless deaths, Hussein basically gave the land back to Iran in a hastily negotiated peace settlement. He had bigger fish to fry. Saddam Hussein is now the biggest single threat to American oil 1n , the region. Defending the Saudi Royal family ts not only defending individual lives. but defending a steady stream of reliable energy to the West If you're looking for a prediction as to whether war will break out, then ·yes, it will .. Iraq has one million people_ready and poised for war. Toe United States is the backbone of one of , the largest peace-time troop buildups. With increased tension in the Middle East already, growing pan-Arab support, and the cooling days of winter approaching. it will cease to be a standoff, and Iraq will come out the loser. The United States will go home breathing a little easier: and maybe they will be more choosy about how they treat their 'friends' in the rest of the world. As for the Middle East? Well maybe Democracy might get there yet, but that's another story. Painting The Politics Green - Paipttng the Pgyµcs green It is. beyond doubt that the environment needs to be carefully assessed and it's use strictly monitored. The depletion of the natural resources worldwide at a scale never witnessed before in human histocy is a fact: leaving behind the task of determining the extent of damage done, and what remedies can be offered for a more sympathetic and caring exploitation of the environment. However, before we Jump blindly onto the "protect our envtronmenr campaign and in order to control the use and abuse of the environment, we need to first understand the reasons and the dypamtcs which have so far governed this exploitation, otherwise, the radical policies that are formulated to tackle the environment issue, mostly in the industrtalized countries- but presumed suitable worldwide, threaten to stagnate (if not reverse) economic growth and development in areas most in need of growth and development- the weak and poor nations who constitute the developing world. Toe environmentalists have proven that the "greenhouse effect" will make the earth warmer in decades to come. For example, the Northern European cllinate will resemble that of the Mediterranean and there will be an increase in deserttllcation in many parts of the world: areas which include the Sahel and the American Mid-West. The main culprit of global warming is carbon dioxide. A vigorous campaign agatnst this compound has been launched 1n Western Europe, from discouraging the construction of thermal power stations and banning timber trade (large forests will consume, among other things, the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, or so it is believe~i). Policies are churn~ out :µitck and fast. Some of the methods of limiting the emissions of carbon dioxlde are improvement in the production method, reduction in harmful wastes, making better quality products, using the raw materials more effiCiently and substituting . natural inputs with synthetic materials iu.ve all been part of the evolutionary process in the West's industrial development. Further, the use of nuclear power to generate electricity because it ts atmospherically clean (no carbon dioxide emission) ts another alternative. This step will benefit the industrial1zed nations as it will improve the quality of life, and matntain/preseive to a better degree, • than has been the case in the past, the natural environment 1n the rest of the world. On the other hand, Green Politics neglects the right of the third world, people who depend on the enytronment to generate much-needed wealth for their economies. Further. these poorer nations depend on the aids and grants from industrialized nations, who in the bargain tap poorer nation's natural resources•for their own benefit. There are issues such as the rate at which the rainforest is cleared, or the amount of toxic material that is used in agriculture and that which pollutes the rivers and lakes at an alarming rate. These poorer nations do not realize that in the long run it will damage their natural environment. Recent examples of the damages are: Bhopal (poor industrial safety). Chernobyl and Three Mile Island (nuclear accidents). Western Europe (acid rain), Alaska and Morocco (oil spills) and Bombay, Cairo and Mexico City (smog). In conclusion, the technology and expertise used by the third world to generate hydro power, and in the manufactµrtng sector. ts vecy prtm1tive and emit ample carbon dioxide and CFCs into the atmosphere. To replace these primitive tools 1s very expansive and too costly. Further, these nations look up to industrialized nations for aids and grants to develop their industrial sectors, and-these rich nations take advantage of this opportunity. Hence, all in all, the environment needs to be looked after. But if it is done so on terms and conditions set out by the industrial· 1zed world, then it ts the poor nations that look after these policies.

This May, the summer executive reassessed the position to see if it was worth the expense and was necessary since there are now three full_time executives. It was our coilclusion that the needs identified as not being met by the Student Union's current organizational structure _could be addressed without hiring another full time staff member. This was done by hiring on a part time basis, consultants to oversee certain aspects of LUSU operations. These include a construction expert to ensure the students interests in the construction of the Student Centre, a team of consultants to review the proposed management agreement between LUSU and the Board of Governors of the University. We also have people looking at the long term fiscal picture - of the Student Union and will be developing a ftve year business plan for LUSU. Experts in the hospitality field are looking at the restaurant operation of the new events hall and wmdevelop operating manuals. Cun:ently, the Student Union has a business manager, pay clerk, events programmer /bar manager, assistant bar · manager as well as five supervisory personnel in the Study. Even though the new events hall will be a much larger operation than we currently run, we have the operating procedures in place to accommodate the increase in staffing and revenue. New computer equipment was installed in the Study this year with the express purpose that staff would be fully trained on it by the time the Student Centre was ready to open. There will also be a Kitchen Manager to run the restaurant.What then is the administrative director to do? This was the problem that we had this summer when it came time to actually go out and hire someone for a job we felt was redundant and a waste of money. The total bill for all the consulting work to be done this year is in the neighbourhood of $10,000. Some people on campus and on the -Board of Directors would have us spend $42,000 a year, IN PERPETIJITY, for jobs already accomplished. The AD. was thought to be able to develop the long range financing of the Student Union. The business plan and our current Business Manager are already doing . this. Furthermore, how is one person to address all the aspects of LUSU? We need a Construction Engineer to oversee the building, we need kitchen experts to help in the purchasing of equipment for the main events hall, we need business people to develop a long range -business plan. We did actually go out and advertize the A.O. position, none of the applicants were able to offer the qualities that were needed. Some peo le wanted the A.O. to make policy decisions. Policy decisions are made by elected representatives of the Board of Directors and the executive. In my opinion, all policy decisions must remain in the hands of demoeratically elected individuals if LUSU is to be accountable to its membership. The money that would have been spent on the AD. can go towards offering better services to the student body. We need more photocopiers, we could use student accessible word processors so essays and reports could be typed, replace the old typewriters under the Ubrary, offer legal advise to students, make the Ombudspersons office full time, more speakers on campus, more alternative programming etc.In the I next two weeks the Board of Directors_will be again looking at the A.O. I stand by the decision of the executive this summer to not hire and A.O. We must remember that LUSU is here to offer services and this cannot be done if too high a percentage of our revenue is use to pay staff.In conclusion the decision not to hire an Administrative Director is supported by our auditors, L.U. Administration and our present staff. �No Nukes At U. of Sask. SASKATOON (CUP) The University of Saskatchewan should quash plans to buy a controversial ten-megawatt nuclear reactor, according to a local citizen's coalition. Using a recent report critical of a two-megawatt nuclear reactor in Piniwa, Manitoba, the Pokebusters Citizen's Coalition has intenslfied its campaign to stop U of S from buying the reactor. The Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) has said Piniwa's two-megawatt reactor is unsafe because of improper waste manage-ment, inadequate testing procedures, and a general lack of quality assurance in the design. Pokebusters ofilcfal Tom Ermondi said if the twomegawatt reactor can't be operated safely neither can Bye Bye Tuition By Helen Wuortnen the larger one being considered by U of S. "The U of S board of governors should reject th~ Slowpoke outright," Ermondi said. "The Atomic Energy Control Board's document is enough proof. "Hidden dangers within the Slowpoke reactor would pose wmecessary risks to thousands of'" university students and the surrounding community," he said. But Metro Dmytrtw of AECB said those who are afraid of the reactor "don't understand the technology." . When asked about :=the safety concerns, Dmytrtw Said an environmental impact assessment would be conducted under provincial and federal government guidelines. The university's board of governors is expected to make a decision on the issue by November. The Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) which represents Ontario's 12,000, professors, passed a statenient calling for a decrease in the level of tuition fees. This decrease would involve a policy, which over a period of time would see the complete eJJmination of fees altogether. Such an elimination would also affect international students. As well as leading to improvements in the Ontario Student Assistance Program. In the policy statement, one of the main goals is to attract students who are currently unable to afford the present cost of tuition. 'The statement was issued tn response to a rise tn publJc attention to the higher cost of university, spec1fically a proposed plap by one Canadian University to steadily • increase their fees. An ofilclal at Queen's University proposed yearly Canada's ·N ative Obligations <YITAWA (CUP) - I f the problems facing Canada's native people are to be resolved, Canadians must first recognize and address their moral obUgations to the First Nations. 1bat was the message about 350 students heard at a Sept. 12 open fprum on aboriginal self-government at Carleton University. In a speech repeatedly interrupted by applause. Ovide Mercredi. the deputy regional chief for the Manitoba Assembly of.First Nations, argued that the problem of aboriginal sovereignty is not a legal or constitutional Issue, but rather a moral and political one. "When did the indigenous peoples surrender the I1ght to govern themselves?_ Where in our history is the paper that tells us so?" he demanded. Native collective and individual rights to freedom rights enjoyed by other Canadians are being suppressed, Mercredi said. And Canadians have no right to tell natlves how to conduct Indian affairs, he maintained. Appealing to governments and the Canadian public to abolish their double social standards and share political and eco- nomic power, the Manitoba chief called for a just and more equitable allocation of resources. "There can be no law and order without justice," he said. In a spirit of cooperation and friendship, Mercredi appealed for a greater understanding and tolerance for native people. He also called for the opportunity for natives to address issues in accordance with their traditional values and institutions. American native leader Russel Means told students about current relations between natives and the U.S. government. In that country. there is a structure of tribal police and courts that 'work in conjunction with local. state and increases of 125 dollars in tuition costs in early 1989. 111.is directly led to the striking up of a committee to study the issue of fees at the June 1989 meeting of the OCUFA Board of Directors. As a result of this committee a policy statement to slowly do away with tuition fees was passed on September 14, 1990. The following are a list of what the policy expects from the Government: Differentlal fees for international students were to be cut out and tuition fees were to be reduced, at the same time as fees for Ontacto students were. Financial aid to international students from nations less prosperous than Canada was another proposal made by the directors. The implementation of a review of the Ontario Student Assistance Program, allowing for more flexibility in parental contributions, reviewing the definitions of the dependent/independent student categories and to g).ve more assistance to post graduate students. Dr. Bob Rosehart, President of Lakehead University said that "... tfthe :new government decided on a long term strategy that would like to see tuition fe<ts ellmmated, I don·t have any trouble supporting it ... Any long term plan would have to involve an increase in funding from elsewhere -more than likely, further govenm1ent subsid1es. Currently, the provincial government picks up around eighty percent of the average student's education, .while the international student pays the entire cost. Whether or not OCUFA's recommendations are put into place by the newly elected government, sun remains to be seen. Unfortunately, the Lakehead representative of OCUFA could not be reached for comment at this time. FIRE DOOR FEAR federal authorities, he said. The Canadian government's refusal to negotiate towards this type of sovereign structure is a disgrace, Means said. "Canada has been embarrassed before the world. Its treatment of Native people Is being internationally compared to oppression in Israel and South Africa," he said. Natlve political and legal stability is a prerequisite for economic development. Means said. The present situation between natives and the- U.S. government was carved by acts of violence. he said, adding that he hoped native and nonnative violence can be avoided in Canada. TORONTO (CUP) - A newly-installed security system in a University of Toronto building has raised concerns among students about fire safety. Electronic locks on the building's doors are supposed to automatically unlock in the event of a fire, but students fear the system may break down and people could be locked inside the buil,ding in an emergency. Alan Rosenthal a graduate computer science student, said he is concerned about the new locks."Anytime ther~ are electronic systems there are usually complications or electrQnic failure," he said. After inspecting the building recently, Ron Lewis, the U of Ts chief fire prevention officer, said the fears are we11-founded. "There is a remote possibility that during a fire ,a larm when people try to leave, the button (to unlock the door) could fail," he Said. "You could in some circumstances be trapped." But, he- said, U of T is dealing with the issue. "The university has gone to the project architect to try and find some solution to this problem, because we can't live with it."

It is the fictional account of a small group of friends in New York City in the 80's and how their lives are changed by the appearance of a mysterious and devastating new disease, Aids. To handle such a heavy subject at an entertaining as well as an informative level, demands a delicate balance in its treatment. This film, written by Craig Lucas and directed by Norman Rene, meets the challenge. The film first and foremost is a celebration of life and this is where its strength lies. Although it portrays the horrendous consequences of the disease. it isn't mired in the problems surrounding Afds. It fs an honest account, exploring what it must be like to live day by day wondering if you, your friends or your loved ones will be marked by this incurable disease. It deals with the paranoia surroundingAids: the constant self examination for symptoms and the fears·surroundingtouching the Aids sufferer; and it deals with the strength required in facing such adversity day by day. It is a story of relationships and the loyalty and dignity surrounding those relationships. I was impressed by the level of caring and courage which the characters demonstrated to each other. In the finest senses of the word, the ftlm is a love story. Which brings me to another point.

GET ROOTED.! .. . ................ .... . �ByDfaneMUls Wild At Heart All references to this movie include David Lynch's name. The characters are merely the means through which the director Lynch tries to shock the viewers. Nicolas Cage plays a guy named Sailor Ripley, believe It or not, but looks, talks and even sings like Elvis. Sailor's girl Lula, played by Laura Demand her mother played by Diane Ladd, are walldng lipstick and nail polish ads. The other stars are there to partake in bizzare sub-plots which attempt to distract the viewers into thinking that things are , actually suppose to make sense. / Incidental actors appear from nowhere, blurt out statements laced with philosophical theories, ask questions contaftllng 7 digit numbers and sometimes only gesture. Lynch uses Lula's memories and eclectic thoughts to draw current issues such as rape, abortion, alcholism and the environment into the picture. In one of the many bedroom scenes Lula expresses her concern for the depleting 07.0ne layer, fearing that one day we'll wake up and it will be gone. Sailor dismisses her wony by stating that •they'll be sending Buicks to the moon by then.· Yes, this movie is violent. Within the first five minutes, an occipi~ lobe oous onto a carpet. The gore along the yellow brick road happens only in flashes and ts easy to digest. Sex scenes repeat. Actors smoke too much. Perhaps the constant smoking, besides being the excuse to demonstrate a 'match trick' visual effect, ts a way to taunt smokers in the smoke-free theatre. (Viewers may notice that Lula's puffs often produce clear exhales.) Wh,t some have referred to as ·b1zzare references to the Wtmrd of 0z• are really not so strange. We have all seen that classic. we know its plot. By interjecting this familiarity, Lynch can create all the aberrations his wild little heart desires, and the audience will follow. • .A View On Aids By Vince Ponka What thoughts run through your mind when you think of someone living with AIDS?Whatdo you feel? Anger? Resentment?_Fear? A short time ago I met a fellow by the name of Jim. Now Jim's the sort of person everyone would like to know. He's friendly, talkative, and an awfully nice guy. The thing is, Jim has AIDS. He was diagnosed sfx months ago. Unfortunately, that ls enough to scare most people away from Jim, and others like him who have tested IDV+. (Human Immunodeficiency Virus- the virus believed to cause AIDS) If a friend, or anyone in our society were to be diagnosed as having leukaemia, no one would say that the person deseived the cancer, or that they must have been leading unnatural lives and that this is their punishment. Then why ts it that these things are said about AIDS? Why ts there such a mortal fear of this~? One must remember that people living with AIDS are doing just that. They are trying to cope and accept the fact that they are l1v1ng with a disease that will probably kill them. •1 do have an illness to which there is no cure and thus far ts fatal, • Jim said. "'lbere is a certain amount of fear here. The question, although challenging, is of benefit to my mental well-being. I continue to accept.• AIDS is a disease that, through education and the practising of safe sex, can be prevented. People should not fear coming into contact with those who are living with AIDS.

So I stopped by the LUSU •office to test Ian Middleton's open door policy. As soon as we sat down in the Study, Middleton proclaimed "I want to see a lot more nonalcohol events." This was before I even asked him the question. Can this man read minds or do I really look that young? According to our LUSU connection (who does not wish to remain anonymous), we can expect more events held under a two Caf-system. Alcohol in one room, and the band in the other. In Ian's words it is "more expensive, but necessary to serve this section [under 19) of the student population." There you have it young ones, a quotation to nail Mr. President to the wall with should the need artse sometime this year.

The CIAU has set down in its guidelines a provision to allow first party athletic awards provided after one year of residency to a value of $1500.00. In, Q.gtario the OUAA reject the CIAU policy on purely athletic awards. On the other hand GPAC, Canada West, and Atlantic and Q~ebec Universities allow the CIAU policy to be used. • The OUAA policy reflects the ideal that,JVe are an academic facility first, and foremost. The few awards that are related to sport aspects are Judged first on academic achievement then the athletic component. The guidelines for awards in the OUAA set out the following criteria: 1) (The student) be open to any sport 2) The athletic dept. 1s excluded from the selection process 3) Recipient beyond their first year 4) Outstanding academic achievement 6) Award not to exceed $1000 6) Administered and selected by the University awards office 7) University senate approved 8) Awards updated with OUAA executive officer and distributed OUAA members 9) Judicial committee can suspend or place on probation sports or university violating this guideline 10) Awards reviewed and ratified by OUM awards committee and legislative council What does this mean for a small school like Lakehead when recruiting some big . name athletes? Clyde Tuyl, Lakehead's athletic coordinator doesn't see the absence of sports scholarships as degenerative to our sports programs. "Our coaches do a significant amount of recruiting to keep us competitive ...but dollars and cents are not a big issue." Tuyl says that they sell the things that are unique to Lakehead, -rhe fact that it 1s a small school, with very unique academic programs, that 1s forestry, business, education and so on." The small school population is a 9ig selling point stressed Tuyl, "The chance for quality education that may not be available in other schools, and the chance to play a sport in a school with such tremendous student support 1s very appealing." The OUM policy reflects more the fact that the larger schools have no use for monetary incentives to attract players. Schools with large student populations have a lot of interschpol competition for their teams, and bringing in outside talent is seldom needed whereas the smaller schools just have to work harder to attract the student athletes. "I wouldn't call the process unfair (no athletic incentives) but it does make it more difficult. It would be nice to have an athletic scholarship concept but at the same time we have to recognize that first and foremost we are an academic institution and athletics c·a n play an important role in the education process. Even if an athletic scholarship were available it is still incumbent upon any institution to recruit people with enough academic ability to complete their degree." "A one or two year wonder will not do a lot to develop a program... we want the students to stay from three to five· years and finish their degree." The problem of Canad.tan "athlete drain" to the U.S. is something that Antlwnyfelt he did not have the resources to cover in this article. How many of our top athletes are lost to the lures of glittering sclwlarshtps, signing bonuses and attractive perks offered by the relatively wuestricted recru.ittng policies of universities and colleges sou.th of the border is dYJicult to even imagine. This is where the real problem with CIAU and OUAA policy lies. - Sp.

My husband died almost a year ago and since his death my daughter has become very religious. Our family ls not at all religtous, .but we did have a. church funeral. She has become very quiet and wishes to be alone most times. She gets angry at me when I try to discourage her religious Interests but I don't think this ls healthy. What can I do to get my daughter back? A worried mother. Dear Worried, The death of a loved one is considered a major life stress. Your daughter may be feeling a sense of powerlessness in that she can't do anything to bring him back. She may even think her father has in some way abandoned her and left her all alone. Your daughter's interest in religious concepts could be.of comfort for her because it allows the idea oflife after death. Discouraging i:eligion may be more harmful than beneficial at this time. She may be holding on to her father through religion. You need to help your daughter work through the reality of the loss. Explore her feelings and share yours with her. Your focus should be on discouraging her isolation and quietness. Don't be afraid of reaching out to her. Annie , DearADnle, I am aflrst year off-campus student and I am having problems meeting people. I am from a small town where everyone knows each other. Believe it or not. Thunder Bay ls a , big city.

I would have asked for her but she won't even tell me what her problem is. I just put this ID the Argus mailbox:, but ls there another way so that nobody (even the Argus staff) will see her handing in a question. A friend. Dear "Frtend" and her friend, One simple way is to drop off your question in the Argus mailbox, or slide it under the Argus door. Hey, submit it after hours if you want. ~perchance the Argus staff does see you, remember that these individuals are journalists, and journalists never reveal their sources. P.S. Make sure you address your question/envelope to Annie Analyst to ensure safe delivery. Annie DearLSA. It is difficult moving to a new city, especially if all the faces are new to you. The important thing is to just be yourself. Attending social functions in which you are interested or joining LU clubs will place you i:h the perfect spot to meet people with similar interests. In an academic setting, sitting beside a fellow classmate and initiating ,.. conversations may have added benefits. Take part in conversations, don't shy away from them.

Barb(not my real name) Dear Barb, DO NOTHING! It's not unusual for a student to have a crush on a professor(notice I said "crush"). You probably see your professor as very knowledgeable, and as a hJgh authority figure, making him all the more attractive (assuming he's attractive in the first place). Whether he's attractive or not, forget it. He's out of the question-off limitsforeign territory. A professor/ student relationship will only cause problems for both of you. There are loads of single male students all over campus, good looking ones too (or haven't you noticed yet). Annie. Page 13 Argus September 27, 1990 �HEALTH AVISION OF FITNESS Goal-Setting for Hea/th Achievement The most important part of developing a personal plan for physical fitness is knowing why you want to become more fit. As simple as that may sound, it is actually a critical aspect of a successful fitness plan. If your goal is weight loss, you'll approach fitness somewhat differently than if your goal is building strength and endurance. And, once you know why you want to become more fit, you can more easily determine what you can do to reach that goal. Set Long-Range Goals Be specific. Sit down with a paper and pencil and jot down exactly what you hope to accomplish by becoming more physically fit. Do you want to lose weight? If so, how much? Do you want to improve your endurance? If so, why? If you wish to improve specific skills (your bicycling, swimming, or golf game, for instance) state them. Knowing what you want in the long-run will help you tailor your program· to achieve your ends as well as motivate you to follow through with your "working" goals. Set Working Goals ff your long-range goal is to lose 15 pounds, start by setting short-range "working" goals-small steps that will help you reach your long-range wish. "Working" goals say what, how much, when, and how often you will do an activity to help you move toward your final goal. For instance, a working goal might be to attend a one-hour exercise class after work on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Each time you attend a class, you've met one working goal. If your ultimate goal is to increase the weight you can bench-press, your working goals wi!I center around progressively "overloading" your muscles to help build strength. A Glossary ofFitness Terms If you don't know your triceps from your biceps (and are afraid to ask), don't despair. The following explanation of fitness terms can have you talking like a pro in no time flat. Abdominals: The stomach muscles; those that run from the lower ribs to the hips.

THE IN THIS ISSUE: 1ANATI'A'S JERSEY RETIRED co m m ~ -00 - �The Argus Page 2 October 25, 1990 Studen"t Ath- letics Definitely Needs Overhaul Dear Edltor: In response to Ian Cull's letter to the Argus (Vol. 27. Issue #6). It is~ opinion that under the present Canadtan Interuntversity Athletic Union (CIAU) and Ontario Universities Athletic Association (OUAA) systems that it is virtually impossible to consistently produce athletes at a world class level. ()f .se]f esteem. Because of this I feel that our system needs to be ttnproved upon. I think you wUl agree that student athletes are characteristically goal orientated, se1f disciplined, self motivated, and hold high levels I feel you will also agree that these are some of the qualities that our group leaders, managers, bosses, and teachers Oust to name a few) have as well. The CIAU should come up with a program that would better able student athletes to work at both athletics and academics on, a year round basis. Having a student athlete doing an 8 month x 4 year academic program in 12 months x 5 years, would help them by freeing up the much needed tttne for studies and training. For the student athlete the problem is $. That is where the scholarships come in - tuition and residence. Let's give our student athletes a chance to be what they can be. With good planning this program cou1d help enhance the universities' mage within the community. In the summer months the athletic programs could also use these athletes for community and school programs. This will also act as a way in linking the university with the community as well as help the student mature. This is a win, win situation. The student gets an education, and is allowed to train to achieve his/her athletic goals. The university gets more involved with the community via the athletlc department and a strong athletic program enhances tradition and school spirit. The Booster Clubs, and Alumni group get strong supporters and the community gets leaders, ·the movers and the shakers" of the world.

Fµstly, I would point out that the piece "Can You Pass This ·Test?" was not intended as strictly an article, but as an editorial which gave my pofnt of view. Secondly. it is sad that I couldnot shed any new l1ght on the issue of ignorance and racism, for apparently there is none. • I wish to congratulate Miss Davidson on being an enlightened individu'al who obviously feels that the issue need no longer be discussed. The purpose of the editonal was not to solve the world's or, on a smaller scale, Canada's racial problems. I did not state that Canada was not a multicultural country, but that I wished for it to be sensitive to its diverse population (not just blacks). The purpose of the article was to raise awareness and hopefully touch a nerve or two. It must have had some success, for it warnµited some of the precious time of Miss Davidson's to be sparred, in order to reply to the editorial. Unfortunately, the problem still exists, and that is reason eno~gh for continued discussion. for ff the issue falls out of the lttneUght, it will be extinguished and forgotten. should Nelson and Winnie Mandela stop giving lecture tours because you are tired of hearing about it? Should the holocaust no longer be talked about because it is an old issue and all one does is flap at the lips?Thinkabout it.

Increased Enrollment La.kehead University deftI)itely has a shortage of student accommodation. This shortage ts the result of several factors, but the fiiiii~~-~•••iiiiiiiii.iiiii~i.i.iiiiiiii~~~~~iiiiiiiiiiii~ - problem is mainly linked to the increase in the student population. Tilis academic year there are 10% to 11 % more students that last year, and approximately 800/4 of that increase comes from outside Thunder Bay. This increase is a provincial prob- =t~==~~~; versity expands it's programs. A second factor is that despite these projected increases in enrolment there is no present plan to expand the amount of rest- Spina did offer a few suggestions as well as a practical look at them. One was to turn all the first floor lounges in Bartley Residence into two double rooms. This has already been done on all the third floors. Despite the obvious advantage of forty more beds, this idea would cause more problems than it would solve-Pnmarily the loss of leisure and/ or study space. A second sofution ts to build a couple new houses onto Bartley Residence. There is plenty of land for it and the design of the pres- applications within a ten ·c1ay period. This seems fair to everybody already in residence, but is very unfair to all first years, because I of the 783 avaJlable spaces. 500 of them are taken up by returning students (as was the case this year). Tois means that only 283 first year students can get in. The only solution Mr. Spina can see is guaranteeing residence to all first years if they want it and putting the upper year students on a waiting list. This system is already implemented at the lI '. i' . •. I j .. ,I I • : l~ .~, ' ': 11 ,; ::\. ': ' · -":f ~r.· 0 ,, : ., i . -0 .I ' I •• t ~ STUDENTACCOMODATIONINTHUNDERBAY dence space available on campus. And a third factor is the lack of cheap offcampus housing. At the present time there are a total of 783 beds tn the residences. According to Mr. Ron Spina Direetor of Residence. up to 200 more beds could have easily been filled this year. This brings up the veryvalid question of why there are no present plans to build more spaces. Toe answers are Simple: a lack of foresight and a lack of money. Several years ago the Ontario government implemented a program . that would increase the amount of space available-in university residences. At the time Lakehead applied for only 142 more beds. and the townhouses were built. Now, It appears that the committee did not look ahead far enough. Possible Solutions However, when asked about some solutions, Mr. ent building easily lends itself to expansion. However the money ts not available, and there are no stgna1s from the government that universities will be receiving more funding. A tlurd solution is to build an entirely new complex. Again the land is avatlable. Mr. Spina liked this idea especially since it lends itself to apartment style units for married as well as single students. However, this would be the most expensive solution as not only would it have to be built, but services such as sewers, hydro, phone etc. would have to be installed. Change in Acceptance Polley For now the only-solution open appears to be a complete overhaul of the residence acceptance procedures. At the present time, returning students get flrSt' priority if they submit their University of Guelph. which has more housing problems. than most other universities. For now however. all students requlrtng housing have found it; be it in residence (the waiting list moved quickly in the first two weeks), or off campus, where despite the hfgher rents there is space available. Toe university administration ts well aware of the problem and are working toward a solving the problem, but construction of new residences seems the only lo_n g term alternative. Shortly before press time theArguslearnedthatthere will be several new townhouses ready for occupancy in the fall of 199 I.

Applications for the 1991 WUSC International Seminar to Botswana are now available here at Lakehead as we are a WUSC member. WUSC. which stands for the World University Service of Canada has chapters on many university and college campuses across Canada. Thirty students will be selected to participate in the summer programme which will begin in JW1e 1991 with an orientation in Ottawa and will continue to Botswana for approximately five weeks of travel and study that will provide a firsthand introduction to various aspects of international development. WUSC seminars have been providing opportunities for cross-cultural exchanges since the first WUSC seminar to Germany in 1948. Individual research topics that relate to econom.1cs, education. agriculture, geograpQy and the social and health sciences have- enabled students to combine special interests with an overall country focus. Participation in rural development activities and cu-;Itural events have been an integral part of these experiences. Toe working language of the seminar to Botswana will be English and selected students must prepare ' written reports on their study area in English. Students will be required to raiSe a portion of programme costs, with the remainder provided by CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) and WUSC to cover travel, lodging, meals and all seminar activities including_ a pre-departure briefing in Ottawa and an orientation 1D Botswana upon arrtval.

Many Canadians don't realize that movies are still censored in many countries including the United Stares and Canada. 1n Ontario a spec~ group lmown as the "Ontario Fllm Review Board" is given the r : ; : s : ~ ~ ! = ~ ~ !· board is evasive about giving out the exact numbers but in the 87-88 year some thirty films were cut in one way or another. • 1n past years the censor board in Ontarto cut out parts of films it felt were offensive; however, in recent years in order to avoid the bad publictty that goes along with censorship the board now OnlY stops movies from being released in Ontario until distributors have made the cuts themselves. These films are then re-submitted to the board for approval. Is having a censor board a good or bad thing? Is one needed? Should a few people over-step these areas, they become immensely powerful critics. For example, rather than warning people of the pphic violence in 1he Texas Chainsaw Massacre", the movie was released with the caption "an extremely gruesome, disgusting picture". The reviewboardwasthusableto rnind th ~ ~ : . e public's True movie connoisseurs greatly fear glvf:ng anyone such powers. It was stated in "Nova" '-June, 1967), "It's not so much How far can you/we/anybody go? that is not the question. The question is: what kind of society would we have if nobody was prepared to make the trip?" Is the board that is representing our moral int erests going too far, and a result blocking the creativity of anyone they do not agree with? You may feel I am blowing.. this out of proportion, however, past incidents that are laughed at now were very serious a few years back. When Dlsn""' released its -J animated film "Sword and the Stone", the movie was banned in various provinces of Canadauntilasceneoftwosquirrels kissing was cut.

"a young girl found asleep one of the most progressive and democratic areas in Canada. We as Canadians continue to allow a repressive undemocratic system as the "Film Review Board" to exist. Also, I feel that some films get undue attention due to an unfavomable rating from the review board. The most recent example•ls David 4'nch's "Wlld at Heart", which had attracted much public1ty when it was edited by the review board in the U.S. and Ontario. 1n my opinion, it was alot of attention given undeservingly to a dumb film with no real purpose.

Then, at 4:00 p.m., action is the name of the game in the Bora Laskin Gym - wheelchair basketball with Thunder Bay's best, the Bay City Rollers. You will see active participation from the community, fr~m Confederation College, who are the co-sponsors of this event, and, of course., from our own LU enthusiasts. Wheelchair basketball requires more skill than you might fmagf.ne -- tes.t this out for yourself, as you join in the warm-ups. Rumor has it that some Nor'westers fancy themselves against the Rollers, and will be there to prove it. MC will be Brian Graha,m of FM94, and we expect some notables to attend. If you want to be included on the team, call Dr. Jane Taylor at 343-8762. These events are organized to heighten awareness of the abilities of people with special needs - and also to lighten the approaching winter days with a little laughter and a little comradeship. Most people in town have not heard of "Degarmo and Key" despite ten or more successful albums, because they do all of their recording under a Christian recording label - Benson, but they proved themselves, Friday, to a packed audience in the C.L.E. auditortum. About 500 people came out to see the concert, which was part o f ~ and Key's "Ihe Pledge" tour. rnie theme for the tour is the pledge "He died for me, 111 live for Him." The concert was a full-scale productlon. with a large stage, banners, an impressive IJghting system, and an excellent, (and powerful), sound system. Ve-cy few bands put as much effort into local con- certs. Generally, we are treated as a stop-off, with bare-bones stage setups, ahd short sets. Toe opening act, E.T.W., (a Christian rap group), performed for about 40 minutes, and then Degarmo and Key played for more Ulan 2 hours. They played some stuff from older Degarmo and Key albums, some material from each of Eddie Degarmo and Dana Key's solo albums, and then the new material from 'The Pledge". Dana Key took a bit of time to explain what 'The Pledge" was all about, and then challenged the audience to take the pledge "He (ChrJst] ; died for me, 111 live for Him." Degarmo and Key gave a very powerful concert, both musically and- in message. Hopefully the success of this concert will open the doors to get more 'big name' Christian bands into town.

Induction ceremonies will take place October 20 m Houghton, Michigan. • Born and raised in Thunder Bay, Hank has been an active force in the athletic community for over 30 years, and was inducted into the Northwestern Ontario Sports Hall of F~me in 1988. He attended Michigan Tech on a hockey scholarship where he was a member of the U.S. national all-star team for four years and was voted AllAmerican in 1962. He also lettered as a varsity athlete in track and field. Hank received his undergraduate degree •from Michigan Tech in 1962. Dr. HankAkervalljoins a prestigious group of top athletes, coaches and administrators honoured over the past 100 years in Michigan Tech's Sports Hall of Fame. Matmen Drop 8 of 10 to National • Champs ~ L.U.'s 'NorWrestlers' only managed to steal two matches out of 10 this past weekend at the University ofWesternOntario. Craig Har~y beat John Marku decisively in a 7-0 win, and Kevin Middleton squeaked by Mike Ray for a 7-6 victozy. Coach Francis Clayton said that the numbers don't really tell the story. "'We could have won atleast three moreI matches if the ref had of made the calls because the pins were there." We~tern finished in a tie last year with Concordia at the Canadian nationals and only replaced one player on last years roster. Clayton noted that even that one replacement was better than the guy he replaced. V-Ballers Get Opportunity For Revenge at York After coming off a big loss in Winnipeg, the Lady NorWesters are on the road again looking for improved performance to start putting some numbers in the win column. This time out will be no easier as the V-Ballers will come up against the likes of# 1 ranked Manitoba ·and #3 ranked York whose spiking arms are probably stlll sore from the damage they did here two weeks ago when they walked away with the gold medal in the Thanksgiving Invitational. Coach Lapre figures that the team can do well ifthey can sustain the kind of performance that they had in their. scrimmage matches with.Winnipeg. Heather Douglas, a freshman member of the team agrees. . "In a practice situation we're awesome, but when we get out there with fans and hype and keeping score-it's like we lose it." The team will be looking to break the spell this weekend. Family, friends and admirers gathered in the C.J. Sanders Fieldhouse this past weekend for a very emotional first inaugural John Zanatta Memorial Night. Zanatta, LU. Nor'Westers third all-time leading scorer died in a car accident near Wawa last Au- gust. The evening, which saw the Lady NorWesters outscore the Alumni squad in a bit of a route ended up a respectable 8659. Julia Scott, a four year L.U. and conference All-star led the scoring for the alumni squad with 15. Leanne Yarrish, last years captain, and CherylKiyluk, a former OUM coach of the year with Western accounted for 13pts each. The home squad was led by popular veteran Kathy Harrison who had 14 and Jen Burgess and Barb Hill who had 15 apiece. The men's game was a bamburner led by Jolm Zanatta~s brother Dave 'Enzo' Zanatta and our own assistant basketbalf coach Jolm Grace. .zanatta did his brother's memory proud with an intense perform- ance that led him to a game leading 30 pts. The L.U. squad saw Foster and Lalonde sink 16pts worth each to seal an exciting 95-90 victory. The night was highlighted by an ~motional centre-court presentation where President Bob Rosehart, Director of Physical Education, Norm Lavoie, and Team Captain Jeff Byerley presented the Zanatta family with John's framed jersey. Z.annata's #30 is the first L. U. jersey to be retired. It will stand proud in the C.J. Sanders Field House and serve as an inspiration to all those who lmew Jolm, and all those who have yet to . hear of him. Stu Julius, coach ofthe Lady NorWesters was one of the people who lmew John the best. •He was an inspiration to everyb<>w" ... "The Jersey hanging up there is a ren:iinder to me that he was here, and that he had a constant positive impact and I think that's important for people to remember." Sports Editorial John zanatta died in a car crash near Wawa this past August. Be was 33. It's clifflcult to wrtte about death. It's much easier to ignore it. From the writer's perspective, fears of insulting family and friends of the deceased often override attempts to do sufficient justice to his/her memory and consequently nothing gets said. Well, something is . telling me I can't let that happen here. I never lmew John Zanatta. But from all that I have heard about him, I can say that I knew a man very much like him. My father died in Toronto two years ago when I was up here goJng to school. Listening to Mrs. Zanatta ·pour her heart out on the fleldhouse floortheothernightbroughtback many memories of him. It also brought back a feeling of pride. You see, my father, like John Zanatta, was a sports personality. Like Zanatta he had distinguished himself in his sport, and had made many life long friends and ·admirers of teammates and opponents alike. Like John Zanatta, my Dad had a charisma that made him very special and a tireless energy for any worthy cause he could help with, especially if_it combined his two favourite things: kids and sports. I never had the opportunity to get tolmowJohnZa.natta, buthislife touched me anyway. I hope that in these few words I have come close to capturing some of his greatness. Ch«!ers John, you will be missed by many.

Six teams and some individuals were well represented at the event in all three of the categories of the race: the 4man relay, the obseived trials, and the go-slow race. The event got started at 1:00 pm and was rushed due to impending problem of 400 - 500 elementary school children running along a similar course as that of the mountain classic. With the great skill of the riders no small children had to be removed from the course. The winning team in the relay was the Ferrel Swamp Rats, composed of Kevin Clark, Brent Sereres, Don Newman, and Bill Lockwood in a time of 30 minutes and 50 seconds. The second place team was team Harold, composed of Craig Mount, Colin P. Walsh, Reed Russel, and Mark Thibault, the third place team was Team Petris. The second event, the goslow race was won by Liz Schober of team Oogy ·Oogy, followed by Kevin Clark and Colin P. Walsh.

You may experience splittlng head aches. as though someone buried an axe deep into your "squab"; neck and shoulder muscles so tight that you walk with a permanent shrug; periods of fatJgue coupled with crankiness or perhaps, the odd tantrum or two; a decrease in your sexual performance which has led your partner to hold a mirror under your nose or scramble for your vital signs. Yes! These are the horrors of stress as brought on by the rigors of graduate study. "My god!" you shriek. "how can I combat these perilous pitfalls of prodigious pressure?" Well. one way would be to convince your professors· to reduce your workload and relax the criteria · necessary- for graduating. Perhaps a note from your partner might help in this endeavour but it isn't likely to happen. A second and more constructive method is through physical exercise and participation in sports. for this letter. I have recently been appointed the sports representative of the Graduate Students Association and asked to organu.e sports events. tournaments and leagues for graduate students. Now, we only have about 100 graduate students so there is not much to •organize but it is more than'! can do alone. Ifwe want to enjoy a good year of sports then I would like to ask grad students for their suggestions as to what.they would like to do this year and for their participation in organizing activities. If you have an idea for an event. tournament or league. contact me and we'll chat. Currently there has been considerable interest shown in the formation of a squash league.
