Blood clinic success continuesby Peter Morfitt
First-year public relations students are organiz-ing a blood donor clinic tomorrow through Thurs-day in the North campus Concourse between 10a.m. and 4 p.m.The clinic is the second organized this school
year by the P.R. program. The 650 units of bloodcollected at last October's clinic fell short of the
projected target of 800 units, amidst some con-troversy over AIDS.Red Cross officials stressed then and now there is
no link between the donation of blood and contrac-
tion of the AIDS virus.
Tom Browne, staff advisor for the campaign,echoes the Red Cross' statements in regard to the
AIDS connection, saying, "Nothing could befurther from the truth, but I still think (the miscon-ception) is going to be a factor to an extent."Browne said Humber' s clinics have been among
the best-attended in Ontario, especially October's.While some clinics across Canada were reachingonly 50 per cent of their targets, Humber met 80 percent of its.
Red Cross officials in Etobicoke look to Humberas an important source of blood donations for the
area. They say the general population here has agedover the last few years to where a large number ofregulars have passed the maximum donor age of66.As a result, the Humber population continues to
be a valuable source of donations.

For the first time in the history
of Humber Cpllege, a SAC presi-
dent is aiming for a second term ofoffice.
Last week Dara Boyerannounced she wants to be presi-
dent again next year.
Nothing in SAC's constitution
can stop her from doing this, andBoyer said only the students will
decide whether she'll be back.She said she wants to be here to
finish the college renovationsSAC is planning, and quite simp-ly, she loves the job.
'i really care about the averageJoe who's sitting in the clas-sroom," she said. "I really enjoyrepresenting him."The 1986 SAC campaign for
president and vice-president be-gins this week, culminating withthe election Wed. Mar. 26.
Since only about 12 per cent ofeligible voters turned out last year,
Boyer and other SAC membersare pushing for better results this
time.
On election day, they plan tourge students to vote.
Boyer said she will run a fair
can^aign even though she mayhave a distinct advantage as the
incumbent.
"It can do nothing but help theelection if a candidate goes up to astudent and says 'Vote,'" shesaid.
Boyer faces students and heropponents three times this week in
public debates: Monday in ThePipe, Wednesday in CAPS, andFriday in the Concourse. All de-
bates begin at noon.
Boyer, a 23-year-old business
administration student, makes$250 per week as president andmust only take two courses eachsemester.
She said the money is a fair
wage for the amount of work she
does. She said it takes up her
weekends and keeps her in late for
Inter-campus SAC federation proposedby Victor Nascimento
At least two Humber student
presidents want to unite all cam-pus student councils in a federa-
tion.
This idea, which has been float-
ing around for several years, origi-
nally surfaced in a proposal writ-
ten by former North campus SACPresident Steve Robinson.Dara Boyer, North campus stu-
dent president, said a federation
would benefit all campuses."The best thing for us at the
North would be more political
clout," she said. "SAC presi-"
dents would be able to say they are
speaking on behalf of all Humberstudents, not just one campus."Although recently-acclaimed
Lakeshore President Terry Doylehas not had time to attempt to initi-
ate a federation, he does say it
would be a good idea.' 'There are a lot of wrinkles that
have to be ironed out, but other-
wise it looks alright," he said.
"All the SACs know it's a gifeat
idea, but everyone's going to haveto pull together."
Doyle said shared access wouldbe one of the greatest benefits the
smaller campuses would get out ofa united SAC.Among other things, Lakeshore
Iand other campuses in the federa-
tion would be entitled to use the
North's business manager, facili-
ties manager, board rooms,. offices, and the pub.>
The cost of sharing the NorthSAC staff is one of the wrinkles in
the proposal, according to the
Lakeshore president.
"We would have to start payingfor staff at the North," he said.
"We wouldn't mind paying if wereceived full access, but we just
don't have the money in ourbudget."
Even though a federation wouldbenefit the smaller campuses morethan the North, SAC president at
Osier campus said she has yet to
look into the issue.
Keelesdale and York—Eglin-
ton campuses don't have theirownstudent governments. Althoughthe Queensway campuses do not
have a formal council, they dohave a student president. She wasunavailable for comment.
Boyer suggested that the fed-
eration would have to be carried
out in stages. First, she said,'
North and Lakeshore should bejoined, followed by the smaller
campuses.
Tuition, parking upby Tracey Nakamichi
Returning students will have to dig a little deeper into their
pockets when tuition is raised from $319 to $330 in September.Other price hikes for this fall will include parking fees, and the
rent at Humber' s Osier residence.
Parking will increase from $32.25 to $34 per semester, and from$62 to $65 for two semesters.
As for Osier, a one semester room rental will increase from $680to $720, and monthly rent will increase from $180 to $190.
In addition, the weekly rates will rise $5 to $75, and the daily
rates will increase $1 to $17.The food prices at Humber show no sign of change, and num-
ber's transportation manager Don McLean said he is "99.9 percent sure" the cost of Humber' s busing service will remain un-changed.
Dara Boyer
so many after-hours meetings that
she has no time for a part-time jobto pay expenses.
But Boyer stressed her drive for
re-election isn't based on greed.
"If you're a committed student
president, you don't have anyspare time to work. You shouldn'thave, anyway."

newsAmphitheatre may get dome
by Robert Risk
Humber College and SAC are
considering a $2 million expan-
sion to give students at Humberts
North Campus more leisure space.
The proposal is an alternative to
a $700,000 plan SAC voted unani-
mously for last month.
It would have expanded an area
near the front of the college. Thesecond proposal, suggested by the
college, would put a dome over
the amphitheatre.
SAC President Dara Boyer said
each student may have to payaroutid $S more per semester to
help pay for the new space.
Proposal has hefty price tag
"We're going to see what the
plans are and th^n decide onwhether to accept them or not,"
said Boyer.
A feasibility study is being con-
ducted by the college to come upwith a plan which will include
building a roof over theampitheatre by September 1987.
The amphitheatre area, which is
next to the Pipe, will also have anoffice tower in its center, whichmay hold new SAC offices.
Ken Cohen, Humber's director
of physical resources, said there is
Interior design instructor dies
Humber college faculty member, Bruce Garland, died of a heart
attack March 6 while on vacation in Cuba. He was 56.
Garland was a teaching master in the Interior Design program in
the Applied and Creative Arts division.
He started working at Humber as part-time staff in the Con-
tinuing Education department in 1976 and became a fulUime faculty
member in January, 1982.
Prior to woiicing at Humber, Garland taught in four Toronto high
schools.
He graduated from the Ontario College of Arts in 1960 with a
diploma in Advertising Illustration.
Before arriving at Humber, he also owned his own company.
Garland Design, from 1963 to 1974.
Fellow faculty member and Chairman of ACA, Art Coles,
described Garland as someone who cared for students.
"He was an unpretentious man, yet a talented artist and teacher
who cared for students," Coles said.
a potential for more than 30,000square feet to be created when the
roof is built.
SAC Entertainment Director
Glenn Zembal said one of the stu-
dent government's main com-plaints has been the poor location
of its offices.
"People don't know we're
down here doing things for them,
said Zembal. "I've seen tours of
the college pass right by our
office, not noticing us."
Cohen agreed, saying the new
offices would give SAC a higher
profile in the college.
"The new plan would have SACin an unavoidable spot in the cen-
ter of the college."
Boyer said the new space would
allow SAC to enlarge the existing
quiet lounge and games roomwhich, she believes, are important
for the students to have.
"We have 8000 students here
and we have only one pool table.
The quiet lounge and the games
room are always overcrowded."
Humber President Robert Gor-
don acknowledged the importance
of having more area made exclu-
sively for student use.
However, Gordon said the col-
lege would be interested in getting
the existing SAC office space and
using it to build more faculty
offices.

Business, TnT, rec manag% nursing and ambulance
More moves may be ahead for programsby Bob Barnett
A document dealing with de-
clining enrolment and the future
academic needs of some dumber(HX>grams was the subject of an
emotional meeting at Lakeshore
campus Feb. 26.
The document, prepared byVice-President Academic Tom
Norton and Business DeanRichard Hook, recommends mov-ing the travel and tourism, re-
creational leadership, and all busi-
ness programs from Lakeshore to
tfie Nor£ campus.
It also suggests moving nursing
and emergency ambulance care
programs from North and Osier
campuses to Lakeshore.
Free Killington ski trip
draws only six entrantsby Chrystelle Owens
Only six students entered a SAC contest for a free trip to Killington,
Vt. All entrants had to do was write one paragraph on why they deserved
to win.
But the lack of interest in SAC activities isn't discouraging, according
to Activities Co-ordinator Debbie Thomson."There's always a certain anKNint ofapathy , and six people signing up
for a contest is good," said Thomson. *'We really enjoyed reading the
entries. They were very well written,'*
Said the winner, first-yearjournalism student Martin Powell: "I knowwhen I submitted my paragraph there was only one other entry in."
SAC had advertised the contest in its newsletter Inside Track, byhanging banners, and with notices in Coven.
She added SAC should have received more entries, and that most of its
other activities have been well attended.
Although President RobertGordon pointed out the documentwas for discussion only and nodecision has been made to moveprograms for next fall, he said
some moves are likely in the fu-
ture.
"There is no one here, certainly
not the president, or myself, or
Rick (Hook) that is hung-up or
stuck with any of the recom-mendations," Norton said.
"What we are stuck with is that
somehow we've got to come upwith some kind of program that's
going to give the campuses of the
college some unique flavor over
the next few years."
But business faculty and stu-
dents in attendance at the meeting
were sceptical.
Some teachers said declining
business enrolment is the result ofoutdated programs. It was also
suggested that if business movesto the North campus only 30 per
cent of the 400 students will movewith it, and some students repe-
atedly sought assurance they
would not have to move to the
North campus in September.Gordon said the college has an
obligation to students who havealready applied on the assumption
they are going to certain cam-puses.
"We're not going to move anystudents who are presently enrol-
led to a campus against their will
for September of *86. I cannot
guarantee beyond that," he said.
Christine Tomchak, a business
program co-ordinator, proposedher faculty present Gordon with a
position paper by the end of this
semester, input die president said
he welcomes.
Paul Copeland, Lakeshore SACtreasurer and business student,
said he felt better after the meet-ing, but was not completely reas-
sured.
"I think they're going to goahead with (the move)," he said,
noting that travel and tourism wasmoved to Lakeshore without stu-
dent consultation two years ago.
But Travel and Tourism Co-ordinator Al Lobo said he wouldbe quite happy moving to the

North campus. He said it wouldmean his students could work with
the hotel and restaurant programs,
thereby strengthening the Hospi-
tality Division.
Lobo's program is twO-year andnew students arrive each semes-
ter. If the move North is not madeuntil Sept. '87 it would affect only
about 45 students who started the
program this past January.
Jack Bowman, co-ordinator of
recreational leadership, also said
the North campus is the best loca-
tion for his program.
KeelesdaleSAC on roll
by Stav Katsoulis
After only three meetings, the
newly-formed Keelesdale Student
Association Council has started
organizing a variety of events in-
cluding a talent show and cultural
caravan.
Despite a slow start. Student
Affairs OfTicer Elizabeth Ganongsaid she is very pleased with the
council's performance. Interest in
the council has increased greatly,
she said.
At first, only two students hadshown interest in forming an acti-
vities committee at Keelesdale,
but now more than 15 students
attend each meeting and the coun-
cil continues to gain support.
Fitness classes were organized
one week after the committee wasformed. They are held every Tues-
day, Wednesday and Friday from12:30 — 1:00 and are led byKeelesdale student VeronicaVernon.
"Students, through word of
mouth, hear about my classes andnow we have 15 regulars," she
said.
Vernon is now looking for
another student to teach aerobics
at a different time since many stu-
dents have shown interest in the
classes but their timetables do not
permit them to attend.
The council is now focusing its
efforts on a talent show and a
cultural caravan it hopes to orga-
nize by late April or early May."These two events will require
a great deal more organization andeffort," said Ganong.
"The caravan especially will be
a lot of work and difficult to
plan," she said. *'And because
everyone is in and out of Keeles-
dale at different times, we'regoing to request the help of the
staff to organize it."
Personalchequesbanned
by John Pires
Students must now pay their
tuition with a certified cheque,
money order, or cash.
Last year, Humber students
were able to buy books or pay their
tuition fees with personal che-
ques. Convenience for the student
led to massive headaches for
Financial Services.
They were stuck with $20,000in tuition fee and $3,(X)0 in book-
store purchase cheques stampedwith NSF (Non Sufficient funds).
A spokesperson for financial
services said most of the culprits
were eventually forced to pay upor withdraw from class.
Statistics show that the new reg-
ulations have reduced the numberof returned cheques drastically,
easing the burden on Financial
Services staff.

Gordon pans federal governmentfor dropping Katimavik program

Coven Mtfiiday, March 17, 1986 Page 3
by David Cox
Humber President Robert Gordon has called the federal govern-ment "penny-wise pound-foolish" for cancelling the popu-lar Katimavik program.Gordon expressed his support
for Katimavik, echoing flndingsof the recently published Senatereport on youth.
"My understanding was that
the program was effective over the
years. Not only did (the partici-
pants) grow up and find direction
but they also did some good whilethey were in it."
Katimavik was a youth life
skills program initiated by the for-
mer Liberal government in 1976.Liberal Senator Jacques Heberthas brought the axed program to
the nation's attention with his hun-ger strike. He said the Conserva-tive government was wrong "toreduce the deficit on the backs ofour young people" by axing the
$20 million program.' 'We are lucky these are not the
young people of the 1960's or the
197p's," said Hebert.
"Young people today are verypatient, but this patience will haveits limits."
Gordon said Humber has notformally sent a protest to the gov-
Robert Gordonernment but is considering themove.
SAC President Dara Boyer saidshe plans to write letters to theMinistry of Youth and the Secret-ary of State to express concern ab-
> out the government's decision tocancel Katimavik.
According to Hebert, the200,000 member Ontario Federa-tion of Students (no longer associ-ated with SAC) sent a telegram toPrime Minister Brian Mulroneyprotesting the cancellation.
The Senate report, entitledYouth: A Plan ofAction proposesradical solutions to the problemsfacing Canadians in the 1980'sand a new program based on Kati-mavik. The report was publishedjust weeks after Katimavik wascancelled.
Hebert said he was told by theSecretary of State, BenoitBouchard, that a replacementprogram would be created "out ofthe ashes of Katimavik.
'
' Howev-er, the most recent federal budgetproduced no such program and eli-
minated all funding for the Minis-try of Youth.
Hebert, chairman of the Com-mittee on Youth, which producedthe report said youth unemploy-ment statistics in Canada were at
unacceptably high levels, espe-cially in disadvantaged areas ofCanada.
Most Ontario Katimavikadminstrators favor the expandedprogram but want participantsscreened to give the program cre-dibility.
Suggestions that Katimavikfind other sources of funding havebeen rejected by local board mem-bers who agree there isn't time toraise funds. Hebert also rejects
this notion, saying that businesswill never support such a programand the provinces cannot afford it.
Under the constitution, educationis a provincial responsibility, butthere is doubt whether Katimavik.is an educational program.
Bookstore nicks locker squatters**Lockers are rented and
distributed by the bookstoreonly. Please do not trade, re-locate or use a locker notrented by yourself. This ac-tion can result in havingyour lock and the contentsremoved.*'
by Mia Harman
So reads the sign displayed in
the window of the North campusbookstore.
Now that students are in thehome stretch of the winter semes-ter, most have come to terms withnot finding a locker or, like first-
year student Sina Rocca, havie
taken the matter into their ownhands in spite of the bookstorewarning.
"If they tell you at the book-store that there are no lockers, youcan just put your own lock on it,
and not pay for it," said Rocca.Before the March break, a
bookstore spokesman said 40lockers were available, most ofthem in the 'D' and *L' sections ofthe college. But a quick checkaround the college revealed at
least 79 empty lockers.The spokesman attributed the
discrepancy to paperwork, saying
**You can just
lock on it andwhen students withdraw from acourse, "the withdrawal formfrom the registrar's office takes along time, and you could be goneweeks before we would know it.
"
The bookstore does not keep a
.
waiting list of students who re-quire lockers, and getting onetends to become a matter of beingthere at the right time.
Blair Boulanger, manager ofHumber College bookstores, saidhe wasn't certain about the exact

number of lockers at the Northcampus.
"I believe it is somewherearound 5,000," he said, addingthere are roughly 10,000 studentsenrolled in courses.

SEND ME TO FORT LAUDERDALEby Richard Saraiva
Tel: 625-8848
Ai«i D-. *u .m. Student no. 820-676-294A Little Bit About Me
I'm a 21 year old third year Business Administration studentwtiose main interests include: women (American especially)partying, fast cars and body building. I've been living in Missis-sauea for ten years tiow and aboutthe most excitement I've hadlately is shooing the neighbours dog away from the trees in ourbackyard. As well as going to school full-time, I work part-time asa courier. OK, that's enough about me, now let's talk about whyyou should choose me to be the lucky winner in the win a trip toFort Lauderdale contest.
Why Me? FU tell ya why...After being at Humber for what seems like an eternity, I need a
vacation to get away from the pressures of essays, tests, assign-ments, and especially the teachers. The need to escape also ap-plies to work. Working almost forty hours a week and going toschool full time does not leave a guy much time for social intprac-tion. Maintaining a schedule like this for a long period of time canbe very tiringboth physically and mentally. A trip to Fort Lauder-dale during the March Break is just what the doctor ordered. Lastbut not least, lying on a nice hot beach sure beats shovelling snowoff a long cola driveway.Enclosed is my lucky penny that I found while walking to
school one day. It's even American.Note. This is not a bribe.
To The People Who Can Make It All Possibleby Martin Powell— Teh 769-4049
Do you think I deserve a free trip to Killington, courtesy ofHumber's SAC? Well I will try to convince you anyway!One of my favorite sports is skiing. To be perfectly honest, I
would rather be skiing than stuck in Toronto during the MarchBreak. However, skiing is expensive and therefore I have onlybeen skiing once this year at Horseshoe Valley.
I have been skiing in Ontario for about seven years and I haveProgressed in this time period to become an advanced skier. I
ave bought new recreational sport skiis within this time and Iamyearnine to try them out on a real mountain, not the little piddleymolehills we have in Ontario.
Secondly, to fully enjoy a group ski vacation which includesapres-ski activities, it is an absolute pre-requisite to enjoy meetingnew people and enjoy having an excellent time. I believe I havethe qualities to get the most out of your ski holiday.
Furthermore, to capture the thrill of excitement, bouncing offthose moguls, silking, carving, falling down steep inclines, tumb-ling, and rolling across the slopes, I will bring my all-weathercamera. This rugged camera will capture the one week extravan-ganza you and I will remember the rest of our days.However, to capture the colour and feeling, the ski experience
needs more than vivid photographs. As a Journalism student, I
can write about what I expect to be a wild and adventurous weekin the sun and snow of beautiful Vermont. A travelogue to Coven,reporting how others and I enjoyed Killington may prompt othersto participate in up-coming SAC outings.Why do I deserve to go, why do my reasons stand alone among
the sea, the swill of other plea letters?Martin Powell deserves to go to Killington because he wants to
have a great time with people and hill, 'mountain and man', andto conouer the hill, and to capture in written word and picture,the Killington experience. But above all, Martin, yes that's me,Powell, deserves to go because of the yearn for the ultimate skiexperience. Yes I Martin Powell, have that dream, please do notlet it die!

Retraining sitills offeredby Chris Childs
With increasing numbers of
people changing jobs or becomingunemployed, retraining and skills
development is becoming a ne-
cessity.
Humber's Queensway campusoffers a variety of programs to
help find the right job and stick
with it.
Queensway 's general mandateis to provide short-term retraining
for adult learners. Of the three
buildings making up the campus,Queensway 'C is a career centre
catering to people seeking skills
upgrading and career planning.
Its programs, both provincially
and federally sponsoreid, are most-ly geared to women.
For instance, PATH: PreparingWomen For Careers In New Tech-nology is a 16-week adult training
and re-entry program introducing
women with high school diplomasto careers in technology.
Cindy Niemi, the co-ordinator
of Queensway's Career Develop-ment Programs, says one impor-
'
tant aspect of all the programs is
the support members in a groupsetting give each other, asopposed to a classroom situation.
Queensway's appeal lies in the
non-traditional group effort, sheadded.
The other programs includeCareer Planning, DiscoveringYour Options, Job ReadinessTraining, and the newly intro-
duced Job Club, a venture Niemiis particularly enthusiastic about.
Job Club is a free three-weekcourse that teaches the techniques
of looking for a job—a job in it-
self.
"People falter in the job huntbecause they don't have the skills;
they don't have the motivation orenergy," says Niemi.The first Job Club, started in
late November, resulted in an 80per cent success rate.
The Discovering Your Optionsprogram takes a more academicapproach in assisting people,mainly women, to move into newcareers or further training.
Job Readiness Training (JRT)
addresses the problems of frustra-
tion, depression, and the ensuinglack of confidence brought aboutby the student not knowing his orher place in the workforce.
Students enter the 12-weekcourse as fee-payers based on$16.45 a week, or may be eligible
for an Adult Training Allowanceor U.I.C. benefits from CanadaEmployment and Immigration.

Students can create
their summerj§]•
by Casey Wiatrowski
Think you have the makings of a young entrepreneur? The OntarioMinistry of Skills Development has a program that may help you getstarted.
The Student Venture Capital Program (SVCP) is one of three summerjob programs offered by the ministry.
The SVCP offers eligible students interest-free loans of up to $2,000from Apr. 1 to Oct. 1, 1986, the repayment deadline, after which interestbegins to accrue.
Failure to repay the loan by this date may endanger eligibility forOSAP grants and loans.
A candidate for the SVCP must be returning to college or university asa full-time student next fall. Any business partners must also fit this bill,
and all must be at least 15 years of age when the loan is issued.Business activity should begin two weeks from receipt of funds, and it
must be conducted in Ontario. The borrower may be asked to submit astatus report after one month to prove this, otherwise the loan can berecalled.
And finally, the endeavor must be what is generally accepted as anindependent business. A commissioned salesperson for a manufactureror distributor does not count.
The ministry will accept applications until Jun. 13, provided funds arestill available. For more information, contact the placement office in theGordon Wragg Centre.

To all members of our local 563
The Election of a New and Capable executive
is to be held on Monday, March 24, at 5:00 p.m.
The meeting will be held in the part of the Pipe at
the foot ofthe stairs as you come down to the Seven
Semester entrance. Unfortunately we were not
able to obtain a more suitable area.
The selection of the president, three
vice-presidents, treasurer, secretary,
chief-shop-steward. These positions must be filled
from shop stewards that have been elected from
their areas of work.
The auditors two of them must be selected
from outside of the shop stewards, their job is to
check the bank balances, etc. and to verify that
your moneys are not being spent on items
prohibited by the union constitution.
We will also elect three delegates and an
alternate to attend the Annual Convention to be
held in November as well as a Regional Meeting to
be held during September or October.
These delegates should be prepared to attend
the entire Convention and to report back to the
membership as to the proceedings.
On a personal note as the president of your
local I have had a busy and extremely interesting
four years. I would be remis if J did not attempt to
thank the shop stewards for their help and trust. I
would also like to thank Diane McArdle our
secretary for looking after arrangements and for
her constant endeavours to see that all the sick or
breaved are sent flowers or fruit so quickly and
with a smile. To Vema Hooper our treasurer who
puts up with paying all the bills. To Rhoda
Sullivan, a better vice-president would be hard to
find, for her constant help and encouragement has
made this job easier. To the rest of the executive
Fred, Brenda, Ian, and to the trustees a very much
deserved thank you.
Ifyou have questions about what is happening
in the college share them with us, and we'll try to
get the answers to them.

vieAArpointCutbacks done at
youths expenseIt's seems we're not the only ones who are upset at the demise of
the Katimavik program... . »_ . u
Liberal Senator Jacques Hebert's hunger strike in the senate has
dramatized the need for action, and not just in the reinstatement of
the Katimavik program. ,.»_...The government claims that the money could be better spent on
creating job skills rather than life skills, but the past has shown
these programs not to be particularly effective.
Hebert's crusade makes clear that the government no longer
takes seriously the needs of the young people of this country.
This concerns the Humber community— and not only because
programs like Katimavik have touched the life of the college when
four participants helped out in the Arboretum.
No, the government's disregard for young people also extends
to their drastic reductions in funding for post-secondary education
.
This is of extreme concern to the students, faculty and staff at
Humber, not to mention the four participants at the Arboretum.
Young Canadians shouldn't be the ones to bear the responsibil-
ity for the huge deficit. The blame for the deficit should be placed
where it belongs— on the banker friends of the Mulroneys and the
Tumers who are so quickly bailed out. Surely the four Katimavik
participants in the Arboretum and other young people should not
be held responsible for our government's mistakes.
The Minister of Youth should work toward the reinstatement of
this U.N. award-winning program instead of asking for taxpayers'
money for the Young Tories.
Statistics show a lower unemployment rate among youths who
have completed the Katimavik program compared with the same
age group in the country who had not.
We commend Senator Hebert for his courageous actions on
behalf of youth— although the only reduction that may be noticed
will probably be at his waistline.

Movie studio place of equality
Dear Editor:
I'm writing in regards to the
article that appeared in the Feb.
lOth edition of Coven entitled
'birls Focus on Film.' I have nev-
er seen a more tasteless, useless
and misrepresentating piece of
journalism in my entire life.
I agree that it's unfortunate that
very few females apply for the
cinematography program.However, this article is written in
such a manner, that one would
think by reading it, that the males
in the program are a bunch of
chauvinistic pigs.
This is not the case nor is there a
grain of tmth in it. We (the male
students) have never treated the
females in the program any diffe-
rent from anyone else. As for the
quote that Coven used, ("You're
letting HER direct?") there is se-
rious doubt to if that was even
said. If it was said, it was said as a
joke which questioned her ability
to direct, NOT because she's
female.
Furthermore, the quote under
the photograph which read "Awoman's place is in the movie stu-
dio," takes the writer's crazy idea
that sexist attitudes exist and com-
pletely turns them around. A
movie studio is a place of equality
and BOTH men and women are
welcome. (By the way, she's sit-
ting in a television studio.)
If you're going to publish a use-
less article that makes a big deal
out of nothing at all, 1 suggest that
you fully research it and print
statements that are both truthful
and complete. Next week, whydon't you go find out how many
males are in the 'nursing'
program?Joel Zigler

• to SAC and the Lakeshore campus for supporting the Ontario Col-
lege Handicap Awareness Program this week. The week will feature
films, videos, and literature, designed to raise people's awareness about
physical disability. Thursday, March 20, will be disability day. Sttidents
will have a chance to simulate disabilities— for instance, by playing a
game of wheelchair basketball. Lakeshore is one of the few college
campuses that sponsors Special Needs students. Organizers hope to raise
$1,500, to be put into a trust account for Special Needs students. An
excellent cause, one that deserves full support.
• to the continuing apathy of Humber students. Only six (6) people

Vt.-Contest.' "There's always a certain amount of apathy, and six
people signing up for a contest is good," said Debbie Thomson, SACactivities co-ordinator. Six people? Out of9,00m Oh, that's just dandy.
• to number's electoral system, for allowing SAC presidents to serve
an unlimited number of terms. This seems like a blueprint for the
perpetuation of inefficient administrations.
Consult students on spending
Dear Editor:
The SAC president recently met
with students and fielded ques-
tions on a proposed new student
cenu-e. This centre would cost the
. student body roughly three quar-
ters of a million dollars for an area
described as a place where we
could "hang out." I believe we
already have enough areas to
"hang out" and these are not
being used to their full capacity.
Could this money not be used on
better proposals? Several ideas
that I would like to suggest are a
fund for needy students, expanded
day care services or reduce the
money we pay into the Student
Activity fund. Do we really need
to spend this money on an ex-
panded "hang out" area?
The Student Council, without
polling the student body, voted
unanimously for this centre. In
doing this, they will leave a
memorial of their year as council
members, thus assuring immor-
tality.
I believe that the Student Coun-
cil as our elected representatives
have the right to administer the
accumulated Student Activity
Fund, but not to spend the monies
without consulting the student
body. Should not a referendum be
held on the proposed new sttident
centre, so that the council's ac-
tions can reflect the wishes of the
student body. In this way, all stu-
dents would assume the responsi-
bility of a considerable debt and
higher student activity fees in the
future.
As an individual, I am not in
favour of this grandiose whim of
the present student council.

Marijuana the drug of choice
Poll shows dope is prevalent and availableby Paul Bliss
and Garnet Barnsdale
Close to 60 per cent of students
surveyed at Humber College'sNorth campus use illegal drugs ona regular basis, a poll taken last
month has revealed.
According to the poll, morethan 60 per cent of the 75 students
questioned have used some type ofdrug at least once, and more than
57 per cent use drugs regularly.
The survey, conducted random-ly throughout the campus, ques-tioned students as to how muchthey use, what they use, and why.
Weekly hashAmong the most common drugs
used are marijuana, hashish,LSD, and in some cases cocaine.
More than 80 per cent of thosewho tried drugs used marijuanaand hashish.
Almost 60 per cent began usingdrugs because of peer pressure;
experimentation was also high onthe list of reasons for trying andusing drugs.
One 22-year-oId student whosmoked pot and hash weekly said
he did it to experiment: "I wantedto see how long I could fight offthe drug — you know, keep the
effects away."
He likes it
In some cases large sums ofmoney are spent on drugs, and onestudent spent $200 a month be-
cause he "liked" it.
More than 90 per cent of the
students polled who use drugs reg-
ularly said the drugs are "easilyavailable," testimony TomChristopher, a counsellor at theNorth campus, echoed.
"It's so bloody available,"Christopher commented about the
ease with which one can buyalmost any type of drug.
Christopher, who worked at the
Addiction Research Centre for
five years, said very few students
approach counsellors for help with
drug problems.

Heaa S up—a recent poll taken at Humber's North Campus reveals that an alarming number ofstudents use illicit drugs on a regular basis.
"The use of drugs today is
much more socially acceptable.Therefore most people who usethem don't feel they need help,and maybe they don't."The most visible measure taken
recently to prevent the use ofpot at
Humber is the cage installed in theL-wing of the North campus.
Hard stuffKen Cohen, director of Physic-
al Resources, who dubbed the cor-ridor 'the stairway to heaven,'said the cage was put up to make it
as difficult as possible for peopleto do illegal things there.
"We don't have enough secur-ity personnel to patrol every sec-
luded part of the school," he said
.
Despite the lack of security,
Humber officials have co-operated with police officers to
smash drug rings in the past. Fiveyears ago, 21 arrests were madefollowing an undercover opera-tion at Humber.Don McLean, superintendent
of outside services, was head ofsecurity at the time of the inves-
tigation.
McLean was approached by anumber of teachers who informedhim of students using hard drugssuch as LSD, angel dust (PCP),and heroin in the washrooms.McLean said they were more
concerned with catching sellers
than buyers.
The big money"We felt we were losing the
battle," McLean said, referring to
the escalation of drug sales within,
the college. Most of the arrests
made after the six-month inves-tigation were for trafficking.
McLean admits arresting everydrug user is an impossibility. Aswell. Ken Cohen believes thatconcentrating on the dealers is amore effective way of controllingdrug use.
Dealers"I can't be calling the police
everytime I see a kid light up ajoint," Cohen said.
According to McLean, one wayof reducing drug use among stu-dents is to make them more awareof their effects.
"SAC should offer a drugawareness program," McLeansaid, but SAC President DaraBoyer thinks the responsibility
lies more with the individual.
"I'm not sure students feel that
it's anyone's position to saywhether they can or cannot do it,
'
'
Boyer said.
"Personally, I feel people are
adults and can do what they want,as long as it's not in the studentcentre."
Boyer said drug use is not infre-
quent in CAPS, the SAC-run stu-
dent pub.
"It is fairly common for drugsto be used in CAPS every week,"she said.
"We tell them to put (joints) outor go do it outside. We don'tsearch people as they are cominginto CAPS."
Lids W CAPSBoyer said if people persist in
using drugs in the pub, they are
promptly shown the exits.
"!t would be safer to legally
restrict the use of drugs," addedBoyer. "If (marijuana) was legal-
ized, I'm sure we'd go for a li-
cence for CAPS."According to the survey, use of
hard drugs is uncommon at theNorth campus.
However, there have been someinstances of injury resulting fipomthe use of drugs. Helen Swann, anurse at the North campus, hastreated students who have beenbrought into the health carecentre.
Abnormal"Over the years some seriously
injured people have been broughthere who received their injuries asa result of drug use," she said.
"I don't think people put theirheads through plate glass doors af-
ter simply drinking a couple ofbeers," Swann said. "It usuallytakes some other type of inebria-tion to cause this kind ofabnormalbehavior."Swann said the health care per-
sonnel take what available mea-sures they can, and if necessary apatient will be brought to theemergency room at EtobicokeGeneral Hospital.
Teachers tackle subtleties of disciplineby Sue Hobbs
When a student breaks down or becomes argu-
mentative in class, chances are a teacher may be unsureof how to handle the situation.
Humber counsellor Pamela Mitchell said there are
two ways to deal with an upset student: listen and refer
for help.
Mitchell and counsellors Anne Chesterton and AnnBaricer-Voison held an informal brainstorming session
for faculty Feb. 19 to discuss student problems and the
responsibilities of teachers in disruptive classroomsituations.
Kids with knivesThe majority of faculty who attended the seminar
are in their first two years ofteaching at Humber. Some25 teachers defined typical classroom problems asstudents who become violent or argumentative, loudand obnoxious complaints, drug or alcohol problems,inattention and talkative cliques of students.
Mitchell said teachers play a fine balancing act be-tween meeting students' emotional needs and main-taining their standards.
"That's always a judgment call," said Mitchell.*'We get two areas mixed up; the standards maintainedin the classroom and the ability to listen and be caringto the student.
' 'And you can do both. You can listen to the studentin tears and still maintain your standards."
Starr Olsen of Professional Development said agood strategy in a tense classroom situation is to notsingle out a student.
"Single out a student and you'll end up with twocamps; one for the student and one for you," Olsen
said. "Treat it as a whole."Olsen also said she would remove a student from a
classroom, but not by using humiliation.' 'I don't need that kind ofpower,
'
' she said. * 'I haveodier kinds of power I can use to control the class. I
have referrent power, I have the power of how other
students respond to me and I have powerof administra-tion."
"I've taken knives away and I've had kids smokinggrass...to me we're talking about two things: the be-
havior of the student and our own behavior in relation
to whatever is happening in the classroom."One teacher recommended calling the class to a halt
for a break and asking the troublesome student to stay
behind. He said he would then ask the student to leave
the class. This method, he said, would prevent what hecalled
'
'mob action'
'
.
"If the student refused and I felt threatened, I wouldcall security," he said.
Professional standardsTechnology teacher Paul Nicholson related an inci-
dent of warning a student of probation twice for play-
ing video games in class. When he asked the student to
sign probation a third time, the student broke down in
tears.
"He took me totally by surprise," said Nicholson."I didn't want to make the guy's situation any rougherby putting him on probation. But I ended up feeling
stupid because it was the third time I caught him doing
Nicholson said he thought he made a mistake bybacking do>vn after giving the student the warnings,something he said probably won't happen again.
"The next time it happens, I'm not going to backdown on a probation. I don't care if he signs it with apen or his tears," he said.
The teachers agreed one of the best ways to diffuse
an explosive situation is not to act on impulse. Mitchellrecommended using a delay technique of talking withthe student later on. The teachers said the next dayeverything has cooled off and looks more sensible.
One teacher disagreed with the suggestion. ' 'Therehas to be a better way to deal with it than delay. I don'tthink it can be that cut and dried," he said. "Some-times there is a student who is so upset that a person is
going to stay up all night and wonder what is going to
happen."
Cooler heads prevailAnd how do teachers react when students break
down in tears?' 'It makes me feel I am the cause of it,
'
' said Nichol-son, "that I'm being unfair, too hard, too unfeeling,whatever. I go the other way and become putty."The teachers said when they are upset about a stu-
dent or a class, they will seek out someone to talk to, aconfidant.
Mitchell said teachers often give students a doublemessage.
On one hand we say we want them to take responsi-bility for their own learning, but on the other hand wedefine the problems and solutions," she said. "Thereare no pat answers because eveiy situation is so diffe-
rent.
"And I think as long as we've tried to use some otthese alternatives, we can't take responsibility for theconsequences if a student breaks down."

Government sponsored program cannedby Martin Powell
By the end of June, the Katima-vik program in Canada will be but
a memory to participants, organiz-
ers, and community sponsors.
As early as the middle ofMarch, the Humber Arboretumwill say goodbye to four of the
program's volunteers.
Katimavik was a federally-
funded volunteer work programfor people between the ages of 17
and 21. Participants worked in
three different communities for
periods of three months each, one
of which had to be French-speaking.
Upon completion of the nine-
month term, each participant re-
ceived a $1000 honorarium.
$1,000 honorarium
Art Cole, Humber College's
Applied and Creative Arts chair-
man and director of theArboretum, is the work sponsor.
He applied for Katimavik volun-
teers three years ago and they have
been working at the Arboretumever since.
Participants have woiiced on the
construction of the demonstration
gardens, located at Humber Col-
lege Blvd. and Hwy. 27.
Other work activities included
carpentry, painting, labelling and
planting of trees and flowers, in-
stallation of lockstone, mainte-
nance of park land, and land-
scaping.
Katimavikers anasset
Participants report to JohnKing, construction supervisor of
the Arboretum, who said the
"Katimavikers" were an asset to
the operation. Depending on their
interest and aptitude, the partici-
pants were given more and moreresponsibility.
"They are definitely going to
be missed," King said.
"Participants come into the
program to explore possible future
career choices. I feel most of themhave a real focus after completing
the program."Connie Dejong, 19, a partici-
pant from Chesterville, Ont., said
she did not learn many tangible
skills. She said other participants
did learn skills which they can
apply to their work experience.
Truly anexperience
However, Dejong said she did
learn how to take charge, how to
relate with people, and be moreoutgoing.
"Katimavik is truly an experi-
ence. People who go through the
program learn more about them-
selves and grow through the ex-
perience," she said.
Edmontonian Chris William-
son, 18, another member of the
group, said he learned how to
operate a chain saw and other va-
rious tools. He said he too is nowmore confident.
Work sometimesrepetitive
However, Lori Ovestrud, 18, of
Victoria, B.C., said the worksometimes gets repetitive andmundane. She said there is not a
lot to do at the Arboretum duringthe winter.
Aside from work skills, region-
al CO—ordinator Pauline Lacroix
said participants learn to relate to
people by learning to live with a
large group for nine months.
When the participants leave,
they are usually more outgoing,
their interest level is higher, and
they have a better understanding
of people from different social and
economic backgrounds, said Lac-
roix.
The participants at the
Arboretum are on their third and
last rotation. Previously, they
worked at St. Jean, Que., and
McBride, B.C.

tion but lost first place by one
point.
One of the competitors, Tho-
mas Chan, did not think Humbershould have lost out. His criticism
was the winning print wasn't
appropriate for the category and
that a 20-point spread between the
highest and lowest marks for the
print was too large.
Hoferichter said the judging
procedure was a very standard
practice with nothing out of the
ordinary.
In the case where all of the
judges do not agree that the top
print from the main competition is
the best overall, a re-judging of
the top five or six is done in pri-
vate. The original marks are tos-
sed out and new points are
assigned.
T^at is where the best Humberprint and its photographer,Edmund Leung, lost out.
The competition includedworks from Ontario communitycolleges as well as York Universi-
ty and Ryerson. Despite losing
first place, Humber did well re-
ceiving two awards of excellence
(second place) and 12 awards of
merit (third place).
Overall, Humber had morephotographs accepted into the
competition than any other institu-
tion. A print must first be accepted
before it can be judged.
Humber competed in bothCommercial/Industrial and Wed-ding/Portrait categories. They re-
ceived best marks in Commercial/
Industrial.
Hoferichter took the loss philo-
sophically. He said five "well-
qualified" judges made the deci-
sions and it's understandable
those who lost would be upset.
Winning Humber prints will be
on display in the concourse Apr.
22-23.

entertaiiiiTieiitCouldn't afford another semester
Dropping out a triumph for Emmettby Julie Plancke
Dropping out of college mightbe a bad idea... but not forTriumph's Rik Emmett.Emmett couldn't afford to fin-
ish his first year in Humber'smusic program so he had to do it
on his own."I went for one semester and
then quit, only because I wasbroke and couldn't afford thesecond semester. I had to go outand work," he said.
But it doesn't mean he consid-ers Humber's program a waste oftime. "I think they make a prettygood effort in the program to showthe kids different aspects of thebusiness," said Emmett.
Things sure have changed forthe man who heads one of Cana-da' s most successful rock bands.Triumph was originally an idea
drummer/vocalist Gil Moore andbassist Mike Lcvine had one sum-mer 1 1 years ago, when Emmettwas gigging with a local bar band.
' 'They were looking for a guitarplayer and offered me the job in
September of '75," recallsEmmett. "Gil and Mike came to
the Hollywood Tavern, saw mewith Act III and asked me to playwith them. I refused until theythrew a cheque in front of me for$1000. I had never seen a bandwith that much money at one timebefore."
Money isn't a problem forTriumph now either. A newalbum, recorded in Los Angeleswith veteran hard rock producerRon Nevison is due out in June.
Big changeson new album
"There are sonie pretty bigchanges on this album regardingproduction this time around," hesaid.
It's their first album not to bemade in Toronto, and also the first
to include cover material. And ofcourse, a new album meansanother Triumphant tour.
"We'd like to be out touring
again for this fall," said Emmett.
Pub previewby James Jackson
March break is over, assign-
ments are beginning to pile upagain, but everyone still has a bit
of party spirit left in them right?
Right!
On Thursday March 20, CAPSis presenting The Box.
For those of you who don'tknow of this band because youhave been living under a rock or
something for the past year, TheBox is a six-piece pop band fromQuebec who currently have twoalbums out on the Alert Recordlabel.
Their latest single L'AffaireEhimoutier (Say To Me) is doingextremely well on the charts be-
cause of the considerable amountof airplay on both radio and TV(video programs).
Ticket prices have not yet beenset, but will probably be between$5 and $7, according to GlennZembal, SAC entertainmentdirector.
Also be on the lookout for TheRelics appearing March 27, fol-
lowed by a number of 'themepubs' throughout the rest of the
month including a D.J. Pub, a
Beach Party, and a Rally pub.
"I like to pertbrm and I really en-
joy that communion with the peo-ple. But generally it's very tiring,
very boring and very repetitive.
The price that you pay is separa-
tion from your family and friends.
"I don't do any partying or anyof that stuff," he said, referring to
popular misconceptions about the
rock star image and those who try
to live up to it.
"I certainly haven't had to bite
the head off a bat or drink blood. I
didn't have to do anything too out-
rageous to get success.
Every circusneeds a clown
"I think the whole rock star im-
age is kind of funny. There are
some people that want to live the
way rock stars are believed to live.
They don't strike me as the kind of
person I want to associate with,"
said Emmett.In fact, his life is considerably
more sedate than that of David LeeRoth, of whom Emmett says,
"Every circus has got to have its
clown."
Emmett is, by his own admis-sion, "a fairiy boring, middle-class kind of guy.
"I like to be fulfilled by mywork, but that's not necessarilyeverything I want."
Eight months ago Emmett'swife gave birth to twin girls,
Ashley and Cassandra. They also
have a four-year-old daughter.Shannon.
When asked if he'd like to havea son, Emmett laughed, "I don'tthink my wife is up to it againyet," then added, "I wouldn'tmind having a son to carry on thefamily name."
But, for now, Emmett only hashopes for his daughters.
"I hope they can be happy andfulfilled and that they can havecomfortable lives. I hope they'll
be liberated," he said. "We'vebeen very fortunate that we ha-ven't lived through a depression ora war, I hope my kids have the
same quality of life."
Emmett's quality of life hasbeen pretty good so far. He enjoysplaying snooker, watching televi-
sion (especially sports), playing
squash, working out and enter-
taining friends at his home in Mis-sissauga. He also writes columnsfor Guitar Player and Music Ex-press magazines.
Rik EmmettFinally, Emmett talked about
bands and has some advice for
those that haven't made their wayout of the basement yet.
"My lucky break was the daymy grandfather gave me aguitar," said Emmett. "It's notjust a case of being a good musi-cian. It certainly doesn't hurt if
you're good looking and you cansing as well."
Emmett said success is not onlya matter of what orwho you know
,
but both.
"I think it's a combination ofboth. If what you know impresseswho you know, then you're doinggood," he said.
Before Emmett joinedTriumph, he said he was never outof work because he could playguitar, sing and write music. Hesaid that bands today must have avery commercial outlook to suc-
ceed because of the industry.
Triumph has been good toEmmett, but he has other plans
too.
"I'm interested in filmscores," Emmett said. He addedthat he has his sights on designingguitars and some solo work. But,does this mean Emmett is plan-
ning to leave Triumph? How longwill he stay with the band?"As long as they'll have me,"
he said. "I think that a rock bandcan be a continuing or ongoingband even if you leave the band to
do other things for awhile."

OPENS FRIDAY^ MARCH 21^AT A THEATRE NEAR YOU
by Rick Raymond
A time of peace, love, and con-
fusion is what the '60s were
according to the play Kennedy's
Children.
The entire play takes place in a
bar on St. Valentine's Day in
1974. The set is very impressive
with old stools, ancient cash regis-
ter, and a dilapidated jukebox.
As the actors enter the bar they
all reveal what has happened to
their characters within the last ten
years starting with Kennedy's
death.
Joel Greenberg, director of the
play, said the play should be suc-
cessful because the '60s are com-
ing back.
"The actors had to research
their characters in order to get into
the part," said Greenberg.
The six characters all fit at least
one stereotype of the era. Wanda,
is played by Anne Ritchie, Barten-
der, by Rothaford Gray, Sparger,
by Andrew Colpitts, Rona, by
Judy Boros, and Carla, by Arlene
Vandersloot.
These characters each had their
own views. There was the low
class paranoid actor who would
take any role he could get and by
the looks he hadn't had one in a
while.
There was the John F. Kennedyworshipper whose dreams and
aspirations died when Lee Harvey
Oswald pulled the trigger.
The Hippie also plays a part.
Her focus in life faded when the
'60s ended. She couldn't change
the world anymore.
A Vietnam Veteran played a
strong role as well. He revealed
his life through letters to his
mother and his God.

B8t of lost droams— a cast of six reveal how their lives
have changed in the 10 years that have past since the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy.
A Marilyn Monroe clone lived
and died the sarne way as her idol.
The acting and focus was tight.
Concentration was intense as none
of the characters seemed to break.
A large amount of the play's
symbolism was vented through
the bartender character. He never
spoke an audible word, but he got
his meaning across.
One key symbol was exhibited
through excellent casting and
again it was the bartender. Being
black, he stood for everything
Kennedy was trying to change.
Gray played the role effectively by
keeping his eyes downcast and
just serving the customers.
The music fit perfectly as well.
You heard everything from Jimi
Hendrix to Neil Young. Themusic was a little distracting
though because of its quality. Youfound yourself at times listening to
the music more than the actors.
The play was received poorly
by the audience and all of thejokes
and the character's portrayal of
events seemed to have slipped by
the crowd.

Spoons not just trendy I §!• ksby Tim Kraan
Contrary to the typical image of the musicianas partyer, Spoons singer/guitarist Gord Deppesticks to his own, unlikely image: a bookworm.So at break time during The Spoons concert in
CAPS four weeks ago, Deppe plopped himselfon a couch in a comer of the Quiet Lounge a;id
dove into his current novel.
"It's the most bizarre thing that will affect
your life," he says of the book, and his eyeswiden as he tells the tale of *'a tribe of womenwith five-inch-long clitorises."
The book is "sexual and weird," Deppe says.
It's called The Infernal Desire Machines Of Dr.
Hoffmann by Angela Carter, one of Deppe 's
favorite authors. Her "strange erotic" fantasies
are guaranteed to "blow your mind away," hesays.
The 26-year-old frontman for the Burlingtonband is no stranger to books. He has a BA in
psychology from McMaster University in
Hamilton, so it's not surprising to find him fill-
ing his mind with ideas rather than altering it
with chemicals.'
'Ugh,
" he says as he sours his face."A lot ofthe old dinosaur bands still believe in that stuff.
That's the old rock 'n' roll lie."
The new rock 'n' rollers keep up with stocksand bonds, and Deppe talks about demographicsand how to "understand the market."
You can ' t go up there with big fuzzy hairdosand glittery clothes," he says, but admits hedressed up a bit for Humber. Deppe changedoutfits before the second half of the show.The Spoons played Humber as part of a two-
week warmup before beginning work on a newLP.
With two new members, the band is ready to
go, Deppe says, and if things are on schedule,they are working on the album right now.
Last month's show was expected to fill CAPS,but student turnout did not fulfil those expecta-tions.
Many complained the $ 1 ticket price was toohigh, although CAPS tried to lure students with a
discount: wear sunglasses, bring a spoon, andpay only $8. Some tables were filled with shadedspoon carriers.
After a two-year lapse between albums, De-ppe says the band has a fresh outlook on life.
He says the songwriting has "really changed.If we had put out a record a year ago, it wouldhave been too much like the stuff we were doingbefore."
While Deppe hopes for bigger and better timesfor The Spoons in the future, he couldn't resist
reminiscing. One of their career highlights wasthe 1982 tour with Culture Club and OrchestralManoeuvres in the Dark.
During that tour, The Spoons were surprisedsome Americans had never heard of them."They didn't believe we Were from Canada,"Deppe says proudly. "They thought we wereanother English band
.
"
Deppe is aware of Canadians' difficulty in
reaching stardom south of the border.
"When you think about it, when was the last
time there was a (Canadian) band that was suc-cessful in the States for a long period of time?"he says.
. Deppe partly blames the media in this coun-try. "It's not like the American (media). Theyreally support their own bands. They believe in
them, push them."Deppe advises aspiring young musicians that,
"no matter how slim the chance looks, jump intoit. Don't ever feel like you should hold back."Deppe was bom in Vancouver, but raised near
Hamburg, Germany. He started playing guitarwhen he was "about 11."
"I had this cheap $12 guitar my Dad got at apawn shop. My brother got a pair of binocularsand I got a guitar and I was really pissed off."
His partner, bass player Sandy Home, has aDutch background. "Her real name is SandyVan Home," Deppe candidly admits. She is
known publicly as Sandy Home.Deppe is optimistic the new album will be out
by May. He says he has been "writing like
crazy" and has more than enough material forthe record, tentatively titled Radio Heaven.

Hockey team championship §!• undby John Barta
Look out Kamloops, here comethe Humber Hawks! And if they
show as little mercy in B.C. as
they did in Ontario, the rest of the
teams could be in for a longtournament.
Humber earned the chance to
travel to Kamloops, B.C. andcompete in the CCAA hockeychampionships after trouncingGeorgian College in three-straight
games in the provincial flnals.
The Grizzlies of Barrie, whohanded the Humber its worst de-
feat of the season, 8-3 , only a cou-ple of weeks earlier, were nomatch for the soaring Hawkmachine in the finals. Georgiandropped three games by scores of8-1,5-2, and 7-3.
The Hawk players weren't sur-
prised they won all their playoff
games, and are confident of astrong showing at the national
championships this Thursday.
Defenceman Dave Leuschnersaid the team was happy to earn
the chance to compete out west,
but there was really no doubt ab-
out who should go.
'it's good that it's (the Ontariochampionship) finally over,"Leuschner said. "We knew that
we were a better team."After Humber easily disposed
of St. Clair in two-straight games.
8-4 at home and 8-3 in Windsor,they squared off against the Griz-zlies on March I.
Playing in front of the largest
crowd of the year at WestwoodArenas, the contest was as one-sided as a championship roundgame could be, with Humber roll-
ing to an easy 8-1 trouncing.
Georgian jumped out to a 1-0
lead in the second period, but fromthen on it was all Humber as theyscored three times in the secondand five in the third to blow Geor-gian out of the building.
The second game of the series
featured a little more defence onthe part of the Grizzlies, but that
was not enough as the Hawkscoasted to a 5-2 victory in Barrie.
March 7 was the showdown for
the championship. Georgianneeded a win to stay alive, andHumberneeded a win to clinch atrip to Kamloops.
Well, the latter prevailed asHumber took the third game by ascore of 7-3.
It was important to the team that
they win the third game and sweepGeorgian, not only avoid injuries,
but also to give them momentumheading into the nationals.
"It was what everyone wasworking for all year," Leuschnersaid, "after we won the season,we were happy but not satisfied."

Heyworth added that sweepingin Ontario would be "a big confi-
dence builder for B.C."After the Hawks blasted the
Grizzlies at Westwood Arenas,with the help of a very balancedattack and an unforgiving de-
fence, they went into Barrie andtook the play to Georgian.
Once again, as it has been for
the majority of the second half of
the season, the Black line did mostof the damage in the second game,scoring three of Humber's five
markers.
That line, consisting of centre
Wayne Stott and wingers Dan Pi-
geon and Ken Jensen, went backto work in the finale with Jensenpicking up the hat-trick in leading
the Hawks in their comeback.

Don 'tdo that!—Humber's Mary Lahey tries to stop Seneca's
Claudette Douglas in volleyball action March 7 in Oshawa.
Volleyball teamsth lose medals
**rm very proud of the girls,"
he said. "They represented Tier II
well and they represented Humberwell."
Bowman pointed out that
depth, or in Humber' s case lack
of, hurt the squad at the cham-
pionships. The veteran mentor
saw his already thin roster of eight
players decreased further with the
loss of starter Angie Anslow early
in the tournament. Anslowstretched ligaments in her left ank-
le in the dpening game of num-ber's first match against Seneca.
Meanwhile, Humber's varsity
men's team missed the playoff
rounds at the OCAA cham-pionships after losing both of its
preliminary matches. The Hawks,
a Tier II team as well in 198y86,
lost 3-0 (9-15, 0-15, 12-15) to the
Centennial Colts before falling
victim to Sheridan 3-1 (7-15, 15-
13, 13-15,8-15).
Men's coach Don Morton wassomewhat disappointed with his
team's showing.
"I didn't think we played as
well as we have this year," said
Morton. "But, we were probably
the most inexperienced teamhere."
Humber, a first-year team, had
qualified for the championships
with four victories in five matches
at the men's pre-final the previous
weekend at Mohawk College in
Hamilton.
Humber's women's team had
advanced to the provincial finals
with a 6-1 record at a similiar
event Feb. 22-23 at Kingston's St.
Lawrence College.
by Mike Anderson
All good things must come to an
end.
Unfortunately for Humber'svarsity volleyball teams, they are
not exceptions to this rule. Theseason ended for both the men's
and women's teams at the OCAAchampionships Mar. 7-8 at
Durham College in Oshawa.
The women's team, an OCAATier II league competitor this
- year, was grouped with two Tier I
teams, the Seneca Braves and
Sheridan Bruins, in the prelimin-
ary rounds of the tournament held
on Mar. 7.
In those matchups, the Hawksdefeated Seneca 3-2 (15-6, 7-15,
15-6, 5-15, 15-10) before drop-
ping a 3-0 decision (6-15, 7-15,
13-15) to the Bruins.
With the 1-1 record, Humberqualified for the semi-finals Mar.
8 as the second-place team in the
three-team pool.
The Hawks, after staking a 2-0
lead, dropped their semi-final
matchup 3-2 (15-4, 16-14, 3-15,
6-15, 2-15) to the Centennial
Colts, the first-place team in the
other three-team grouping and
also a Tier I team.
With the loss, Humber was re-
legated to the bronze-medal match
with Sheridan. The Bruins
claimed third-place honors with a
3-0 win (15-2, 15-11, 15-10).
Considering his team's status as
a Tier II operation, coach Jack
Bowman was very pleased with its
performance at the provincial
championships.
Second year in a rowHawks settle for bronze
by Dominic Corona
The Hawks' basketball squad had to settle
for a bronze medal in the OCAA cham-pionships March 7-8 at Sheridan College in
Oakville.
They lost a heartbreaker in the first gameagainst Fanshawe Falcons, 71-70, but re-
bounded to claim the bronze by defeating
Centennial, 59-57.
The Sheridan Bruins will attempt to defend
their national crown as they head for Van-
couver for the CCAA championships.
The Bruins defeated Centennial, 69-64,
and dien needed overtime to beat the spirited
group from Fanshawe, 80-76.,
The Hawks had a slow start in the gameagainst the Falcons and found themselves be-
hmd most of the night.
The Falcons seenied less anxious and man-aged to build an eariy 21-8 lead before Rex-
dale's boys had a chance to mount any type of
offence.
With 10 minutes to play in the first half, the
Hawks started to chip away at the Falcons'
lead.
With eight minutes to go Humber's 5-foot-
10 forward and team captain Wayne Ambrosewent to work, scoring two buckets narrowing
Fanshawe's lead to 10, 25-15.
The Hawks kept pressing their opponent
and with 50 seconds to play in the first stanza.
Hawks' tournament MVP Maurice Arm-strong sank consecutive 15-footers to cut the
deficit to 36-34. TheHawks would eventual-
ly go in at intermission trailing 37-34.
Unlike the first half, Humber started quick-
ly in the second frame.
With 1 3 minutes remaining in the game the
maroon and gold forged to the lead tiianks to
some good shooting from George McNeil. At
this stage with Humber holding a 51-46 lead
things looked good for a shot at the defending
champions
But give the Falcons and their coach GlenJohnston credit for not quitting. He called
numerous key timeouts and enabled his club
to stay close.
**We tried to slow down their tempo and
not make them run their run and gun off-
ence," said Johnston. "Their players are fas-
ter than ours and I figured if we could slow
ck>wn the game's tempo or flow, we could* 99
Win.
The teams remained close for the rest of thegame, neither team building more than a
three-point lead. At times in the middle of thesecond half it seemed as if the Hawks wereteasing the Falcons. They would build a lead
and Fanshawe would come right back to
nakt it a one-point game.This went on unS Fanshawe's 6-foot-4
centre Emilio Rocca hit on a 10-foot fade
away jumper to give Fanshawe a 61-60 lead
with six-minutes remaining.
"I'm a good outside shooter so I just let it
go and it fell for me," said Rocca. ''We cameinto the game wanting to stop them fromrunning on us."
The Hawks once again built a 64-61 lead
on a five-footer by /^mstrong with 4:30 to
play.
With 18 seconds left the Falcons had one
more chance to pull out a victory. Theybrought the ball up court and fed it inside to
Gary Benjaminsen but he was fouled. Ben-
jaminsen managed to make both ends of his
freeduows to give the Falcons a 71-70 lead.
The Hawks had one final crack to win the
game but Henry Frazer missed at the buzzer.
This was the second consecutive year^
Humber was eliminatd in the semi-finals after
sporting the second best regular season re-
cord.
Last season the maroon and gold wereousted by Mohawk Mountaineers, 86-83.

Excellent season diminished by small crowdsby Gregg McLachlan
"Dismal" is how several Hum-ber Hawk hockey players de-
scribed attendance at home gamesthis season.
Defenceman Dave Leuschner
said very few Humber students
showed up at Westwood Arenas to
support the team.
"I'd say we had 20 regulars
who showed up," he said. "Mostof the fans who showed up werefriends or relatives of theplayers."
Jill Riley, Number's sports in-
formation officer, said the Hawksaveraged approximately 150 fans
at home games during the regular
season.
Centre Doug McEwen believes
the team's performance this past
season should have encouragedfan support.
"We're a first-place team, but
we were one of the worst for
attendance," McEwen said.
Forward Steve Turner summedup the attendance with one word:
"Disappointing."
However, Athletic Director Pe-
ter Maybury , was not surprised by
the small crowds at Hawk games.
"Seeing the Hawks play is just
one of a thousand things to do in
Toronto," Maybury said. "Wedid reasonably well; we could
have done better."
Steve Turner
Following a few games this
year, Maybury said the team tried
to attract fans by holding socials in
the Seventh Semester lounge, but
there were 200 people at the so-
cials who never went to the game.And, said Maybury, Humber is
not alone when it comes to small
crowds at varsity sports.
"It's a college-wide problem.
Bring (students) in at 9 a.m., and
send them home at 5 p.m.," said
Maybury, describing the college
attitude.
He explained that universities
are more community oriented than
colleges; therefore, they strongly
support their teams.
Furthermore, home gamesagainst weaker teams like Con-
estoga and Canadore encouraged
very little fan support, according
to Maybury."They take it for granted the
Hawks will win," he said.
Jeff Young, a three-year veter-
an of the Hawks, said attendance
has always been poor, but this past
season it was slightly better due lo
the team's success.
Young, along with several
other players, noted GeorgianCollege as an exception when it
comes to small crowds at hockeygames.Maybury said Georgian reg-
ularly has 500 fans at their homegames, and blueliner Bill Speed
admitted playing there can be in-
timidating.
"It's hard playing up at Geor-
gian with all their fans yelling,"
said Speed, adding it would have
been great to see Westwood pack-
ed with Humber fans.
Georgian fans also show sup-
port for their Grizzlies on road
games. Busloads of them easily
outnumbered the Humber suppor-
ters on Jan. 1 7 at Westwood, a fact
which the Hawks don't find very
encouraging.
The players were optimistic that
the crowds would increase as the
playoffs progress. Past playoff
series' against Seneca haveattracted over 500 fans, according
to Maybury.

Her time of 37.15 in giant sla-

Annette McClelland of Sheridan.
Langegger finished a full twoseconds ahead of McClelland in
the slalom, thus giving her the

For her tremendous efforts,
Langegger was honored as the
OCAA's Athlete of the Week. Shewas both surprised arid shockedwith her times.
"There was a lot of competi-tion," she said. "I had raced with
a few of the girls before, one whohad raced with skiers from the
National team."Langegger revealed that she de-
dicated her victories to her high
school ski coach who had died re-

Those experienced in callingfor the
clean, true taste ofBlue ore well aware
ofthe value ofdoing so in a big way.
Perhaps this accountsfor the enormousincrease in the sales ofalpine horns.
Once used almost exclusively in
oldJulie Andrews movies and in com-mercialsfor cheese, the alpine horn is
showing up infavourite watering holes
across the country.
"Alpine horns are the new growth
industry." Said one dealer "Equally
impressive..." he went on to add "are
the sales ofknee socks, lederhosen andTyrolean hats." Itwould appear, at least
forthe moment, thathornfever is uponus. Which means, that it is indeed, time
to blowfor a Blue: /

You may not be the song that
makes the whole world sing, but hey,
when it comes to stringing together
a Doh, a Re and the ever popular Mi,
you're no Sonny Bono either
Andwhat betterway to share your
gift than by tootingfor a Lahatt's Blue.
All that's required is an empty bottle
ofBlue and lungs like Luciano Pavarotti.
Imagine the feeling, when sur-
rounded by friends, you raise a Blue
bottle within a millimetre ofyour lips
and toot out afavourite little melody by
Iron Maiden orperhaps one ofthegreat
standards by the likes ofthe Big Bopper
Forthose ofyou with more classical
leanings, youmay want to take a shot
at Beethoven's 4th orwas it his 5th?
What the heck. Who's counting
Give up Show Biz?
Never
Long an institution at countryfairs
and ho-downs, hog calling techniques
havemade theirwayfarbeyond the con-
cession roads and split railfences of
ourpastoralcommunities. In countless
bars across the country, the once dis-
tinctive strains of"Sue-eeeeeeeeeeeee"
have been replaced by the infinitely
more lyrical "Blue-eeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
As popular as this technique is
becoming, you would be ill advised to
employ it at anyfunction to which you
are required to wear black tie onn the
presence ofanyone whois more than 20 lbs
overweight.
One in a series of highly informative presentations aimed at helping you to
better understand the diverse means in which it is possible to obtain one or
MORE BOTTLES OF BLUE, CANADAS MOST POPULAR BEER. FOR THAT CLEAN, TRUE TASTE.
