You’ve come a long way baby. Beauty pageants aren’t what they used to be. v

Nowhere . was that more evident than at the Misfs : Oshawa pageant held last Friday at the Polish Veteran’s hall on. Stevenson lid. North. Twenty-^ear-old

Debbie Kitchen^ a Uni- versity of Western / Ontario student of polit- ical science/and sociolo- gy took the honors.

Four girls from Durham College were

in the contest, including the first runner-up, 19 year old first-year jour- nalism’and public rela- tions student Debbie Eavis.

Debbie^ entered last year’s Miss Oshawa contest and during the spring she was Miss Willowdale Park’s entry in the Miss Fiesta Pageant. She was first nmner-up in that contest also.

(<! can see a lot of girls think it’s just a cattle» show,’’’ she said. Debbie�who won the title of Miss Congenial- ity� has done model- ling in the Oshawa area and has written a number of fashion arti- cles for Oshawa This Week, who sponsored the pageant. Winning Miss Con-

geniality has its benefits

also. Some of the prizes include’a weekend /^or two at the Harbour Castle Hotel and dinner for two at the Rib Room.

The other Durham girls, first year. journal- ism students Joanne Richard and Diana .

Johansen, and first year business student Lenore Dunn enjoyed the con-

reps ^ stressed by SAC �/ . .

^ Oshawa,

Irene Hietmuller were on hand to present tjhe crown to the. new Miss Oshawa. ,

Miss Swing, nearing the end of her reign, was amused at the fact that all of the girls in the pageant were after her job. Miss ’Oshawa

New pub policy relaxes rules By SUZfE LAFONTAINE

Chronicle Staff A new pub policy,

more lenient than past regulations, has been initiated by Mike Pidler, President of the Pub Committee. "As you know, the

pubs have. a history in the past of being rowdy and we want to change thay," he said. The policy last year

was if you were caught doing something that one of the pub members didn’t like then it was out the door on the first offence..

This , year, Fidler told The Chronicle, that the offence may be commit- ted three times before you are thrown out. They ask that you

don’t bring your own liquor and that if you insist on smoking dope then , you do it else- where. "The rules must be "

obeyed because we ,have a lot to lose, including the hall," said Fidler. "We want everyone to

have a good.. time and *� ..... "

we will do everything we can to make sure they have the good time," he said. There are 24 ’ pub committee members who work the pubs to make sure you do just that, have a good time. Only 12 are present at any given pub.^

They share their dut- ies among themselves so r

that each person does a different job every hour or so. The committee was

formed on a volunteer basis and at this point, Fidler informed us, they have "a workable a- mount of people". "A successful pub is

where everyone has a good time", he said.

SAA president requiests student participation By MARV BOYKO

Chronicle Staff

; Pete Blakely, * SAA

president is hopeful that there will be more student involvement in activities this year�both in actual participation and in spectators.

additional ones are a- vailable in the SAA office. The calendar contains

a great deal of "in- formation. The rules of intramural sports are* listed as well as the’ OCAAschedule for home games of the Durham Lords. Any changes in

schedule will be posted outside ,the SAA office, noted in the Durogram and time permitting, notice will be made in The Chronicle.

They start out trying to swim against the tide with ideas like wanting to see the soccer games or getting into teams for the Orientation volleyball.

B.ut we’ll set them straight about life at Durham College. Just keep repeating, "nobody ever goes out to anything around here. Turnout is always rotten. Rotten! What else would you expect from a place with such lousy school spirit? There’s no point in going out for anything."

It’s simple psychology- if we all say it often enough and paint a bleak enough picture we can convince everyone that this is a boring, apathetic place to be and not worth any effort to change. A lot of us have given if a good start already. . , I

CARMAN ROBERTS

This year’s social life is launched, stumbling forward on the hesitant reet of Orientation .and the more eager, if somewhat impaired, feet of the first Pub.

Again, as ever , we see that the surest way to school spirit is the promise of a different kind of spirits.

Well, so be it, then. If the pubs are going to be the only lively confabulations of the school year, so be it. What is all this "nag, nag; nag" about no school spirit anyway?

If we want to be listless, bored, inactive and generally stuck in our own corners, well... we paid our fees and we’ve got a right.

It’s just that we have to watch out for some of the new folk. The ones that came to Durham expecting to make new friends and to get involved in new activities. ’

On the first day of school a number of students got "more than

the day, many found seven dollar parking tickets affixed to their windshields.

This was one occasion when the last thing needed was for police to be ticketing cars on school grounds. Many students were unaware of

parking regulations and others didn’t know thai an additional lot, was available north-west of the Sports Complex.

It appears- there was a breakdown or lack of insight and communica- tion. There should have been arrows directing people to the new lot, or at least guards to direct traffic. There was no evidence oi either when I arrived.

Administration has many ways of communicating with the student body. Why weren’t those means employed? . ;l;( -

Calling in the cops was no answer. It only lead to bitterness and

hatred. Couldn’t violation notices, without fines be used instead?

The inevitable moment came when I had to eat it. Grabbing lots of salt(for flavor), I made my way to a semi-clean table. Before indulging, I gave it a quick look to make sure nothing was moving. Satisfied, I closed my eyes and dug in.

Throwing a forkful of potatoes into my mouth, I bit down on them. I bit down again’. I tried grinding them. Still nothing happened. Saying a quick prayer of thanks that they were just small stones, I swallowed them whole. � .

Chronicle Staff removed from the white-picket fences of reality?

Within the perimeters of Durham College and the realms of most of our lives, it is a game. But it is not one that is being played for laughs. It is the final scenario of a program designed to illustrate through actual participation the components neces- sary to leadership. Bark Lake-A Leadership Chal-

Teachers9 workload gives students a raw deal, too

». T K f �

getting essentially free labor for the rest of the work that teachers must do.

By MICHAEL J. KNELL ; Chronicle Staff A very important pan

of , our college life is sagging badly. They are extremely unhappy. The teachers of dear

ole ’Knowledge College’ have to vote on a contract that is so full of , loop-holes that it bog- gles the mind.

Since the beginning of the � last academic year, our mstrncfors have been without a contract. During the summer their OPSEU bargaining committee came to an agreement with the Council of Regents. \

It yvas not what the teachers wanted. The major issues are left unresolved. The all important issue that the union and the Council face is the question of workload.

^ Despite the fact that they want to talk about

their problems, they do not feel that the use of their names would credit their position in the union and in the college. Therefore, the informa-

tion, although research- ed, is , ^off-the-record** for official purposes and their concerns are pre- sented in this way. The problem with

workload is that the terms used to assign it has not been defined to the satisfaction of the teachers. Workload assignments

are based on the num- . ,».-,< >.(JI»t»lrf . � �-,� »«/�-«; � .’ £;<���

ber of hours to be taught, it does not consider class size, number of subjects, time spent in preparation or marking or even the setting of exams.

In this ’area the teachers appear to have been given a raw deal. By being paid just for the hours thev teach in clays the Council is

’ The Council can also assign a teacher to "any ’number of subjects they choose, making time spent in , preparation twice as long. So long as they stay within the; agreed number of teach- ing hours per week they can. assign a teacher to any number of subjects, classes and students. Above everything else,

this situation is not fair . Jl°, -the.. s^u4ej^., ,Any teacher that is not prepared /or .has no time to prepare, cannot give \is what we came to this college for. Without that, we the

students are wasting our time here. That is not something that I am prepared to do. I came to this college to leam a trade, and if I can’t learn it I want a reason and. my money back.

After a few card tricks and impressive mind games he came down to the things everyone anxiously waited to see. At his ’request i for

and operated through the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation but the actual at-camp program . is designed by the s<;aff of the organization involved. ’ The program given to the sports

administration students at Durham College is divided into two phases. Phase I consists of administrative duties to be completed by the students prior to leaving � for ’ the camp. They are divided into five separate teams, each responsible for some area of preparation. The staff acts as a supervisory unit only. m addition a series of lectures and lab discussions are gi^ven. .

Once at the camp, Phase U comes . into effect. This stage is divided �into different modules. Areas included are: leadership theory; styles’ of leadership and problem solving;, developing a group and communication; the situational fac- tors; leadership activities and func- tions; and evaluation and planning.

This year’s S9 participants will be placed in situations, ranging from extended trail walks with full packs-to relating a newly acquired skill to their group through effective communications while endeavoring to complete a series of controlled map and compass moves to a specified place�to problem ’ solving from j

resources at hand and then from recently learned skills-right up to the safe delivery of Mr. X. The final two modules include

evaluation and counselling on the final long walk exercise as well as a ; wind-down session invol^ng recre- ational planning. ; ’

The group will depart from Durham College on Monday, Sep- tember ?5, 1978 and return ’the following Friday at noon. All costs other than transportation will be absorbed by the school. Accompanying \the students as

division is the only area registering a decrease in enrolment; 213 students are registered this year compared , to 240 last year. A lack of space’ and

teachers has .caused some limits to be placed on enrolment. ’"Some

Durham College has increased 13 per cent over last year to T.407.

This increase has not been a surprise to

encountered a locker shortage due to an increased student enrol- ment. Gerry Pettit, Admis-

sions officer, says "the college ’did not. really foresee a locker short- age. ’’ There are 20-25 people on the waiting list and they should have locker accommo- dations by October 1.

Currently the college has 1,200 lockers;this includes the new half lockers installed this year. * ’Originally in 1970 lockers ..were not going to be built, when the main college was constructed,’’ said Pettit. It was decided at the last minute that .accom- modations. would have, to ^e made for coats either in classrooms or in some other facility. *

When asked if the college should provide more lockers, most stu- dents agreed that the. need is. there. Reni Dewit T3M said. "yes it’s worth the money to get more lockers and people could be willing to spend a little extra money to have their own, locker."

-Dave Witterick in Bu- siness Administration said, "yes more locker space is needed as people pay tuition fees and deserve to have’ the^ same facilities as every- one else." Kathy Brennan S2G agreed "more lockers are need- ed even if they make you share." "Another section should be added on the first or second floor."

We have , a good goaltender (Rene Ouin- tanilla) who will help us a lot, we have an excellent back line from last year (Peter Kar- banyk’, Dave Vader and. Terry Van tSchyndel) but left wing is our weakest spot." ^ 7

Vujanovic summed it up by saying, "the team is pretty good, it’s just

a matter of putting it together."

In explaining some^of the new strategy he plans to use for his team this year, the coach said he plans to gear it toward the play of the opposition rather than to his own team’s capability. One area in which the other team will affect his own

beam’s style is in man-to-man coverage. As for offensive stra-

tegy, Vujanovic simply plans to’ (seep .the, other team off guard.

<( We will change from system to system and hopefully with our more experienced play- ers we can switch so the other team can’t set their defence."

With the experience ’carried into the .season with his returning play- ers from last year and ^ the expected number of new onesi, the Durham team couRM&e a high contender for the cham- pionship. .

Soccer team in motion By DAVE VADE)l Chronicle Staff The Lords soccer team

has won their sole league game of the season .and have a loss and a tie in their two exhibition games up to

. this point. In their first exhibition

game of the season the Lords tied the George Brown Huskies 2-2. Al- though the play^ was even in the first half, the Lords dominated the first portion of the second taking a 2-1 lead before the Huskies con- trolled the latter half to score the tying goal. Both Durham markers

r, came from Rick Parch- ment while Joe Coulson got the two Huskie goals. .

The highlight of the game was when Durham Goaltender Rene Ouin- tanilla stopped a Huskie penalty shot. Commencing the reg-

ular season on Sept. 15, the Lords hosted the" team from Peterborough in a poorly -played game which saw the optimist- ically powerful Durham team humbled into hav- ing to desperately battle for a 4-3 victory. The Lords held a 3-1 ’

half .time lead but saw it "diminish to a one goal

° margin before Chris Parchment fired in the winner. Other Durham scorers were Terry Van Schyndel and last year’s OCAA scoring champion Stan Bombino getting two. Chris McDonald scored two and Peter

Attard one for Peterborough team. On Sept. 18 the Lords

met the team from Centennial College in a game which saw the Lords short of players which resulted in the opposition donating three^ of their own to the Durhan\ cause. The game was marred

by five ejections from the game for /unsports^ manlike conduct, three of the players being from Durham. Although the donated

players were a sign that the game was to be taken as a ’fun’ game partly due to the poten- tially dangerous weather conditions, the Centen- nial players came out on a serious note scoring. twice in the first half and once in the second to take a 3-0 victory. The Durham players

can account for the loss by the mere fact that they are too intelligent to risk injury in such dangerous conditions in a game that means absolutely nothing in the way of team standings. Monday’s game con- trasted two objectives which resulted in a farced which need not be taken as a reflection on the quality of the Durham team. The next* season game

is ’on Sept. 21 in Belleville after which the Lords will host last year’s eastern division champs Algonquin Col- lege from Ottawa. Game time will be 4 p.m.

i Trigg seems to agree, "If the team plays up to its potential then we’ll be much improved."
