more concerned with the economy
and how they can maintain their
Well, here we go again: another
four years of Trudeau.
The most important concern of
Canadians now seems ’to be that
perhaps the dark conservatives were
right in their dire predictions for the
future of Canada.
There is also hope that the
Liberals will take the middle road
between their socialistic policies and
the Conservatives "hard times"
platform.
Whatever this government does we
can rest assured that their major
concern is not in the economic field
but in" the area of constitutional
reform.
This has been the Liberals, or
perhaps we should say Trudeau’s,
whipping post over the last few
years and will likely continue to be
until it is settled or Trudeau actually
does resign.
The economy won’t be abandoned
but it will be placed on the back
burner .until the constitution question
is solved.
By doing that, Trudeau will
effectively lose any chance he has of
leaving politics with the admiration
and respect he had in the beginning.
The downfall of the Liberals under
Trudeau will come as a result of
focusing their energy on the
constitution and the problem involvf ing Quebec; the Canadian people are
lifestyle.
Already, Ed Broadbent has called
for 60 additional MP’s to be
appointed "on a popular vote basis.
That move might well require a
major renovation of the House of
Commons; it is filled to capacity
now.
.
If^Trudeau were to accept the
proposal, designed to reduce regional
alienation, there would be a further
move away from representation by
population and it would result in
more minority governments.
W^hen the coin is turned over we
see that this reformation would give
all parties some representation in all
areas of the country.
In the House of Commons we
already have representatives from
every area of thfe country.
Any government. Liberal, Conservative or whatever, should listen to
these people; obviously they know
what their constituency wants.
The Liberals, at this point, might
do well to let the electoral reform sit
quietly for the moment and deal with
the more important economic issues.
The feeling in Canada today
should be one of co-operation not
confrontation. We can only hope for
the best.

"Sticks and stones can break my
bones but words can never hurt
me."
People living in Port Hope,
Ontario, home of Eldorado Nuclear
Refinery Ltd., are scared to death of
what might" happeta in connection
with the radiation and contamination
problem. For years the citizens of
Port Hope have been told by the
authorities that Eldorado poses no
threat and if any problems were to
arise .they would take action to .
rectify them.
There is still a wide range jot
opinion on the hazard of radiation to
public health. Whether the problem
is resulting from the company’s
activities 20 to 30 years past, or
directly to the harmful emissions
found seeping out just this year,
there is a problem. Safety levels are
ultimately a result of a value
judgment; the United States has
limited the allowable dose of
radiation to a member of the general
public to 25 millirem a year
,20
times below that the Atomic Energy
Control Board has set for the
residents of the Port Hope area.
We- Canadians must haw a -highertolerance, or so one would believe.
; It is now generally agreed in the
nuclear field that there is no
"threshold’’
no level so low, that
the impossibility of producing an
.
-
adverse health effect disappears.
Our argument, how then can one set
a maximum allowable doaage without
"hv not ask the
a scientific study,
man on the tre«l svi» he feels is
the maximum we ihould be exposed
to? It would appear that a scientific
study is justified
’The AECB, the official regulatory
board, works within the same
nuclear network as does Eldorado.
Just as the ^experts" who have
worked aT)c* studied in Port Hope are
trained anch have- their salaries paid
by the same nuclear establishment.
There is a real need for immediate
unbiased scientific work on the effect
of long term low level radiation, not
only in Port Hope but throughout the
growing nuclear world. For top long
the research and exploration into the
problems and effects have been left
to the industry themselves, frankly
we’ve been getting the shaft
Eldorado Nuclear has a hell of a lot
to protect.
Nuclear power could be the answer
to many of the world’s energy needs
and help in the salvage of our
dwindling petroleum supply, but
anything with the gravity of this sort
should be completely explored and
shared with the public at large. If
the nuclear industry were to cast off
the shadows that surround their field
more people could gain an understanding of the processes involved
and appreciate them rather than
curse and protest.
Often the key to this sort .of
problem is honesty, everyone makes
mistakes and can be forgiven if one
owns up to their mistake. But no
one will condone moving into an
area when all that can be known is
not, or into an area where the public
is allowed only a small amount of
screened information oh and 500

When Shakespeare wrote that
famous passage over 300 years ago
he must have had an inclining as to
the direction that women of this
world would be led.
For indeed, if any one trend has
perpetuated Shakespeare’s prose and
made it the all important goal of
women everywhere it is the trend of
fashion through the years.
First it was the corsets which
twisted and bound unwanted rolls of
flesh into tight, compact packages.
Not only did they make walking and
sitting difficult but they made
breathing nearly impossible. But our
grandmothers grinned and beared it.
Being frail and delicate meant never
fighting back.
Next came a variation of the corset
called a girdle. Our mothers donned
these masochistic straitjackets in an
attempt to mold their normal bodies
into delicate hourglasses.
Today, the trend to stretch, bend

Kramer vs Kramer
Press Cou nci l
S i ng l e pa re n t h ood s u rv i ves
by Peter Hughs
Chronicle Staff
The controversial queof who gets
stion
custody of the children
after a
divorce is
often hard to answer.
Kramer vs Kramer
"
asks that very question.
What is unique about
this film is that the
husband not the wife is
left with the child.
Based on the novel by
Avery Corman, writerdirector Robert Benton
turns what could be a
boring film of a child
custody battle into an
emotionally entertaining
and sometimes enlightening
experience.
Benton gives us a solid
study of the strains of
single parenthood, and
with it, the readjustment.
Dustin Hoffman portrays Ted Kramer, a
New York advertising
executive who jeopardizes his position tc take
care of his son. Kramer
is definitely a well
educated, , emotionally
stable man with a good
sense of humor, Because
of his great drive and
ambition to climb the
ladder of success, he
begins to build a serious
wall between himself
and his wife. When ’she
tells Ted she wants to
get a job, he tells her
she couldn’t make enough money to pay a
babysitter.
As Kramer, Hoffman
tackles the difficult role
with his usual polish
and style much like past
roles as the long distance runner in the
Marathon Man and as
Carl Bernstein in All the
President’s Men. From
his portrayal of Ted
Kramer, the audience
begins to take his side
of the story.
But let us not forget
the plight of Joanna
Kramer. Portrayed by
Meryl Streep who’s latest ventures have been
the Deerhunter and The
Seduction of Joe Tynan,
she shows another side
of the story. Joanna, an
educated and very frustrated woman, begins to
feel cramped in her role
as mother and housewife. Streep offers us a
very deep and convincing portrayal of the
unstable and trapped
woman who leaves for
California to "find herself."
After father and son are
deserted, some of the
funniest scenes in the
movie follow as the
audience sees, how the
father builds a strong
relationship with his
son. Taking him to
school, cooking their
breakfast and reading
him bedtime stories, Ted
Kramer begins to realize
that his son is the
most important thing in
the world and that they
would be together for a
very long time.
Just when everything
seems to be going so
well . for Ted, complications set in. Joanna
Kramer comes back to
New York more than a
year later with a high
paying job and her new
found piece of mind.
But now she wants the
child back. It’s here that
Ted Kramer takes, a
stand and they head into
court.
Justm Henry, the cute
blond haired kid who
plays their son Billy, is
excellently cast as the
confident,
refreshingly
straightfoward,
and
sometimes, very mature
.(for his age)young man.
It makes it hard to
believe sometimes that
he’s ori^y in grade one.

public can actively participate in the quality of
news reporting, MacDougall savs.
A voluntary association, the Ontario Press
Council was formed in 1972 ^consisting of 21
appointed members. The present chairman,
Davidson Dunton, heads the council along with
10 public members and 10 newspaper members.
Member newspapers in the Ontario Press
Council are the Ottawa Citizen, the Toronto Star,
the Hamilton Spectator, the Brentford Expositor,
the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, the London Free
Press, the Windsor Star, and the Owen Sound
Sun Times.
The council is aimed primarily at hearing
public grievances against newspapers. But they
are also concerned with developing a higher
ethical standard for newspapers and to defend
the public interest in the freedom of the press,
MacDougall says.
"The public has no organized voice to speak
for them," he says.
Some larger newspapers chains such as
Thomson Newspapers argue that they can deal
with the public grievances themselves, MacDougall says. "This is not a sound argument,"
MacDougall says, because they cannot act as"
judges.

More than 30 students and 4 faculty members

During the day, students toured various

were left open for them to attend Broadway

AUDITORIUM
The auditorium, built in 1964 at a cost
of $1.200.000. was paid for by donations
from the public and industry.
The old Oshawa arena was destroyed
by fire in 1953, leaving only the Children’s
Arena for skating and minor hockey until
the Civic was built. The Civic, as well as
the Children’s Arena, North Oshawa Arena
and the double pads at Harman Park Arena
are all under the administration of the
Board of Management of City Council.
Besides being the home of the Oshawa
Generals, the Civic Auditorium has played
host to various types of entertainment:
lacrosse, shows, concerts, dinners and circuses. A banquet hall in the auditorium
seats 150 people while the ice surface can be
covered to seat 1,500. A capacity crowd at
hockey games numbers 4,500; 3,500 seats

plus 1,000 standing room.
Arena manager Bill Kurelo, said the
operating costs of $1,700 a day result in a
$40.000 to $60,000 deficit yearly that is
covered by the municipal government.
Kurelo said, "The biggest problem is
to get people interested in the events. How
do you compete with TV?"
The biggest boost in the arena’s history
came last year when the Rolling Stones
played a benefit concert there.

The list of events that can be held at
the Civic Auditorium and Recreation
Complex stretches a long way across the
32 acre lot on Thomton Road South.
Oshawa is naturally located near
Toronto, said Kurelo, and most guys go
there to see groups. He said the Civic can’t
afford big name groups, from the U.S.
because .of the tax structure and "there
are also problems getting good Canadian
groups. It’s hot the buck, it’s
me lack of interest in the product."
Even so, since the arena opened, they’ve
had close to $5 million in paid admission
for ’stars like Harry Belafonte, Triumph
and Conway Twitty.
But, said Kurelo, "The entertainment
people have become sophisticated. They
go to the O’Keefe Centre." He said they
are supplying as much as possible but people
are keeping a close eye on their money.
. As far as the future is concerned,
Kurelo said he’d like to see a 1,200 seat
banquet hall built. "It’s in the future
planning. It’s,the money again."

Welch said a lot of the recreation ,
facilities in Oshawa are models for the
province.
"Recreation in Oshawa has been very
progressive in terms of numbers and calibre
of facilities," he said, citing the "tremendous
volunteer system" in Oshawa;
"If there is a need for an arena or other
facility, the community supports it," he.

CIVIC DOM E
When the air support Civic Dome was
completed in 1977, some people referred
to »t as "The JBubble" but the largest air
structure in Ontario hasn’t burst yet.
The dome cost $60Q,000 to build,
one-third the cost of a conventional building
including the same amenities.
Glenn Welch, assistant director of
recreation, said the heating loss is greater
than in conventional buildings but the
amount saved on construction and other
operating ; costs make up the difference.
Inside the dome a 225-meter banked
running track encircles the 4 tennis and 2
badminton courts and a boxing ring. Two
American Singles squash courts and a weight
training room are also included in the dome.
The interior of the dome can be cleared
out by removing the nets to allow baseball
and lacrosse teams to practice.
The dome facilities are in continual use,
according to Welch. The tennis courts are
booked solid and they turn away at least
20 squash bookings daily.
Welch said if the Civic Dome can’t
supply time for groups that request it, they
will try to find other facilities that can
accommodate the group. ’
"We need another one (dome)," he said,
"but we’re realistic."

Beard, who has been

Beard says that in
operating a model railway track the engineer
must work the model as

a drop of one foot on a
real railroad.
All scenery ^nd landscaping for a modeller

"It’s a hobby that
anyone can get into

He said that he never

"It’s fun building it

says of his layout.
For people who are
seriously considering
getting into the hobby of
model railroading Beard
