Conestoga
out of OCAA

Conestoga College withdrew from
the tier 2 women’s basketball league on Nov. 14, 1984
because of the three-week strike at 22 community colleges.
.
Three players on the team dropped out of Conestoga
College during the strike, Dan Young, the athletic director at Conestoga, said. One of our players went back
to high school to finish Grade 13 and two get full-time
jobs when the strike was on Young said. In addition to
this three players on the team quit to concentrate on
their studies.
A tier 2 varsity team which* withdraws from the
league 4s fined $50 and given a two-year suspension
from that sport, Eric Fagen, the executive director of
the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA),
said. The final decision in this strike situation is up to
the league convenor, Fagen said.
"Conestoga College will not be penalized because of
the extenuating circumstances surrounding their withdrawal," .said Sue Thompson, tne convenor of the
league. Cpnestoga’s withdrawal from the women’s basketball league has necessitated a change in tne original
format in the tier 2 league.
The OCAA executive devised a strike contingency
plan that would allow OCAA league sports to continue
despite disrupted schedules, Fagen said.
In the case of the tier 2 women’s basketball league
a team which had postponed three games was given
strike-exempt status, Fagen said. Teams given such
status will not be listeS in ’the standings. Of the remaining games to be played, the team with the highest percentage would have clayed a challenge game against
the fourth place team to earn the right to advance to
the championship tournament.
’
In tier 2 women’s basketball this challenge format
must now be changed because Conestoga and Canadore
are the only colleges in this league with a strike exempt
status, Fagen said. Sue Thompson, the league’s, convenor, will suggest to the OCAA members that in order
for Canadore to challenge they must have a higher

3 rd yea r tech stude nt
invents "gopher " robot
by Penny Gummerson
Chronicle Staff
Peter Boorsma,
a third year technology student,
’
has built his own robot for $200.
Boorsma, who has always been interested in robotics, said, "I built Buster just to take up spare time,
but now Fm using him for a school project." Boorsma
started building Buster in Feb. of ’83 and plans to
have him completed by Christmas.
"1 have started a design on another computer
which when completed will be interfaced to control
a robot arm," said Boorsma, "but the robot arms will
have to wait until sometime after 1 graduate because
it will be a two or three year project."
.
Boorsma’s inspirati jn to build Buster came from
two books; David Heiserman’s Build Your Own
Working Robot (in which the robot’s name was Buster), and Tod Loofbourrow’s How To Build A Computer Controlled Robot. Boorama said the books were
too complicated for what he wanted to build, so he
decided to design something a lot simpler himself.
"The book’s more or l^as just served as a very basic
*
guideline."
Technic;,]il assistance for the construction of Buster
was offered l^y one of Boorsma’s instructor’s. Bill Dulmage and mechanical assistance was provided by
i
Durham graduate, JeffDaymon.
Buster has a wooden frame structure. 2 rear wheels
and a front wheel caster. The rear wheels enable
Buster to drive forwards or backwards independently/’He moves somewhat like a bulldozer which
makes for optimum maneuverability."
Buster is capable of repeating a pre-programmed
series of instructions prepared by the user. The instructions are implemented into a micro-computer
chip which Boorsma refers to as Buster’s "brain" and
is used to control all of Buster’s functions.
Buster’s "brain" is a 6808 based microprocessor
which contains all the basic routines (br controlling
him. The computer’s function 1s to monitor input
commands from the teach box and impact sensors
and update the instruction to be performed by Buster.
"He’s not exactly an R2D2, but he does move
around upon command...he’s kind of like a gopher,"
said Boorsma. The commands are issued through a
manual control panel also known as the teach box.
Certain codes are punched into the teach box which
are then passed on to the robot.
Boorsma said programming Buster to perform
such tasks as vacuuming or washing dishes would
cost a lot of time and money. "1 don’t have either of
those right now," he said.’?i)

reaction to being legislated back to
work.
After walking the picket line for just
over three weeks, teachers at Durham
College have reacted in a variety of
ways to the legislation, each according
to personal views on the principles, purpose and results of the strike.
In an issue such as this, each individual has personal views and it would
be impossible to contact all the
teachers. However, those that were contacted expressed opinions that ranged

King was not frustrated at being ordered back to work but was angry at
the government and the Council of Regents because, "they knew what they
were doing all the time."
Dave German expressed the same
opinion saying the legislation was to be
"expected. He was disappointed that
nothing had been achieved but was relieved to be back at work. German wpndered "whether the whole thing was rigged by the government and the council
in order to gain publicity and bring it
to the public’s attention at the expense
of the teachers and students."
On the other side, a number of business teachers were glad to be legislated
back and were of the^pinion that the
strike was a mistake in the first place.
Rick Hird, an economics teacher,
thought the legislation was great. Hird
didn’t think they should have been out
on strike at all and that it was irresponsible thing to. do.
"There is a workload problem but it
be settled by a strike," Hird said.
can^
Hird was among some teachers who
did ’not walk th^ picket line, choosing
instead to stay at home.
By not walking on the line,. Hird did
not receive strike pay. Asked how he
coped financially, he said, "I didn’t calculate my loss of wages because I knew
it would upset me."
At one time Hird was also contemplating looking for another job.
Barry Braken was also one of the
teachers who was glad to be legislated
back to work. Braken even questioned
the reasons for the strike. According to
Braken, the issue was not the workload
but the way the Council of Regents bar-

On Nov.9, after 23 Adays/ the Hon.
Bette Stephenson introduced legislation to order the 7600 college teachers
on strike back to the classroom.
The move was looked at as "punitive,
almost vindictive" by Gwen Tredwell,
strike coordinator for faculty local 354
(Durham College) of the Ontario Public
Service-Employees Union (OPSEU).
"I felt teachers were being taught a
lesson," said Ms. Tredwell, "you know,
do as you’re told!"
"I think she was acting solely on the
words of her advisors and she hadn’t
really taken the time to analyse the
situation," said Tredwell. "She hadn’t

Durham College students are experiencing mixed reactions to the recent faculty strike.
Karen Curtin,’second year public relations student, says she’s lost interest
in school because of the strike. "I feel
that the strike has been a great disservice to us, Astudents. They’re taking
away some of our Christmas holidays
which is unfair. To add to the confusion
pur holiday time could be spent doing
homework because of the first term
being extended. We’re the ones who are
suffering, not the teachers."
Curtin added that she still respects
her teachers because they were outnumbered by other colleges in the vot-
ing.
Sharon McCabe, first vear food and
drug student, says as a1 result of the
strike she doesn’t have a very positive
outlook on school. "It was impossible to
get into the labs during the strike because we needed a supervisor," she said
"and now I’m behind in mv work."
Aileen McQiiade, third vear food and
drug student, says s^e didn’t mind the
time off because she was able to make
some money working. On the other
hand she said, "I think it s^nfair to get
all this work...we have 3 tests and 3
y
assignments all in one week."
Lori Broad, second year graphic design student, thought the strike was de.
pressing. "It really affected my sense of
motivation, but my biggest worry was
the thought of losing my year."
She said she feels that having the
Christmas holidays cut is better than
extending the school year in May. "This
way we won’t lose out on job time and
money," she said.
.
Mike DeLong, third year electronics
student, said that the strike was better
for him in the. long run. "I got a lot of
homework dope, so now I’m two weeks
ahead of schedule." He said he felt that
the teachers should have been^legislated back to work right away instead/
of letting them walk the line for 3
angry about being legislated back.’^On
the topic of students’ year being endangered: "f studentsl won’t get any
sympathy from me about losing a few
months or a year."
.
Garland, on the other hand, said that
"(legislation 1 might have been part of
the scenario, but there was no discussion on it until last Monday INov.51 "
When asked if the Student Administrative Council represented the students aptly. Garland replied that he
couldn’t answer because he wasn’t
aware of what they were doing." Tredwell, on the other hand, said "they could
have done a lot more."
Both Tredwell and Garland see the
strike as a means of professional development. Garland said another strike
is-unlikely, Tredwell sees it as a likely
occurrence although not for another
couple of years.
When asked if there was any good
which came out of this whole situation,
said it brought the issue of

the public but Garland said he wasn’t
"sure if Iquality of education) is the

Both sides are ready to get back to
business as usual and neither side feels
any animosity will occur between each
other or from the students.

Pam Robertson, first year nursing
student, attended classes 2 to 3 hours
a day during the strike. She said/The

to get enough time in the practice lab
to attend my clinical." Robertson added,
"No.one in first y^ar nursing will be
hurt by the strike Because they’re setting up schedules so that everyone can
attend clinical."
Ken Taylor who is presently taking
upgrading in the adult training building said that the strike set him back in
his work. "I’ve forgotten some of the
material covered, so now I’m going to
have to study all over again. I didn’t
cross the picket line...I don’t think anyone should have crossed the picket line.

strike coordinator for Durham Colleger
said that the Union was forced into a
strike position by the Council of Regents’ unwillingness to bargain. "It was
the only way we could get across what
we felt about education,"said Tredwell.
Tredwell said that some teachers considered their going out on strike unprofessional; a sentiment echoed by Garland when he said that the strike
showed teachers ’were "more union
oriented and not necessarily as much
professional."
On the topic of the legislation passed,
both sides said that it was the only way
to end the strike. But Tredwell said the

Because of our biology both males and
females have the innate ability to enjoy

men since they may be blessed with
happiness or suffering by a pregnancy.
An abortion will be approved if the
health or life of the mother is in
danger. Through ^ doctor an application is made to a ommittee of threephysicians at a h- -pital. Not every
small hospital has a committee and
Catholic hospitals have none. The
woman will be the victim of the benevolent inclinations and liberal or conservative attitudes of the doctors on the
hosptal committee. The majority of
cases involve a woman meeting with a
minimum of two psychiatrists to validate that her mental health is
threatened by the pregnancy. She is at
the mercy of the doctors she has to see
to qualify for an abortion and most of
the time they are men. The Right to

Someone really goofed!! Let’s face
it, the strike should never have occurred. According to our history-lessons,
strikes were introduced as a bargaining
tool for the labor class who were being
exploited by the ruling class. The strike
is usually used to obtain definite conces91

The teacher strike is the ideal example of the inability of the public at large
to accept a strike for abstract principles.
It might be the fault of the media or
maybe the media just refected the pub-
lic’s perception but it took a long time
to realize that the strike wasn’t really
over money, or working hours, it was
over the quality of education. That is
hard to recognize let alone measure.
Either way the strike is an outdated
method of industrial relations and there
are better ways to solve the problem.
Instead of following the olcl adversary
approach, unions and management
should use the mediative or conciliatory
approach.
Everyone should realize that despite
underfunding. which is a persistent
problein in all levels of post secondary
education, Ontario has one of the best
education systems and the highest
quality of education in the world.

Students graduating from Durham College should
begin the task of finding a job before they actually
graduate.

When it comes to job hunting, Les Lear,Durham College’s placement officer, has a lot of productive advice
for students. You have to start the job search w^iile
attending school andmeeting academic requirements.
"It’s important that grads define their target market," he said, "because most people make the mistake
of not targeting their efforts for a particular industry.
Although everyone thinks the process is magical, it’s
not. The first step is to get a resume drafted by Christ-

The Lords are only worried about one

The team’s initial meeting with the

with St. Lawrence beating Durham 3127. In their second game with the Vikings, the Lords won 65-50.
"Kingston has a fine basketball team

Terminator.
In the Terminator, an Orion picture
directed by James Cameron, Schwarzenegger plays the < terminator, half
cyborg-half man, sent from the future
to present day Los Angeles to terminate
Sarah Connor.
Connor, portrayed by Linda Hamilton, is a waitress in an L.A. restaurant
whose life holds gr^at significance for
tine’1 future.
Michael Biehn plays Kyle Reese, a
human guerilla fighter from the future
who follows the terminator back to L.A.
to protect the unsuspecting Connor.
From the terminators first meeting
with three punks in a back lot, to the
climatic ending, including one scene
where a police Station is demolished,
Reese and the terminator leave a path
of death and destruction.
While Biehn and Hamilton handle
their roles adequately, Schwarzenegger, thestarofthe’Conan movies, steals
the spotlight as the ultimate killing
machine.
With his expressionless face and two

we watch his every move and try to picture ourselves in the same situation.
The movie, though it leaves us puzzled as to the concept of time travel,
does leave a deep impression about the

standings. This decision must be voted
on by all of the community colleges in
the league.
The athletic directors at both Conestoga and Canadore would have liked to
have some input in the strike contingency plan.
Dan Young, the athletic director at
Conestoga College, said,"I think they
(OCAA executive) overstepped their
bounds in terms of their mandate."
The reaction atCanadore College was
similar. "I thought that we perhaps
should have had a meeting of all OCAA
representatives of various colleges to
come up with a plan agreed upon by the
members," said Bill Raymore, the athletic director at Canadore College.
The OCAA executive has the power
to act on behalf of its members in between meetings and this is stated in thfe"
constitution, according to Eric Fagen.
He realizes that not all colleges will
agree with the contingencies devisee by
the executive. ’The strike exempt contingencies the executive devised are not
perfect but we tried to make the best of
a bad situation," Fagen said.
The OCAA executive, as well as
Seneca, Humber and Georgian colleges,
were particularly concerned that too

"
’
many postponements in the women’s
basketball and other league sports
would result in the possibility of unfair
scheduling, Fagen said. "We were trying to come up with the most just formula and I believe (the OCAA executive) did."
The strike also dfsrupted schedules
in men’s basketball tier 2 and men’s
hockey tier 1 leagues. In men’s basketball tier 2 both Canadore College and
Northern College had to postpone two
games during the strike which will be
re-scheduled.
In men’s hockey tier 1 Canadore College had to postpone six games during
the strike out of a 28 game schedule. It
would be difficult to re-schedule these
games because most colleges play their
games on off-campus facilities, Fagen
said.
In hockey, Canadore College,
a
strike-exempt team, must maintain an
above .500 average to be eligible for the
playoffs, Fagen said.
The percentage for all colleges in this
league will be calculated by dividing
the actual points each team gets into
the optimum number of points they can
get, Fagen said. For example, Canadore
will now play a 22-game schedule therefore the optimum number of points they
can get is 44. To challenge other teams
they must acquire at least 23 points, he
said.

The Durham Lords touch football
team captured the bronze medal at the
Ontario College Athletic Associations
(OCAA) touch football championships
in Sarnia, Oct. 20.
The Lord were defeated 34-20 in the
first game of the elimination rounds by
the Mohawk Mountaineers but came
back with a 15-12 victory’ over the
fourth place finishers, the Georgian
Grizzlies, in the second round of play.
Mohawk won the OCAA championships for the fourth consecutive years,
slaughtering the second place Loyalist
Lancers 62-14.
At the onset of the first game
Mohawk, the Mountaineers took a
strong lead with "hard-hitting" and
"well-organized" defense, said Lords
coach, Don Fraser. Durham put up a
strong resistance ,to the team’s tight
style of play but couldn’t get by
Mohawks quarterback.
"They’ve got solid execution on their
quarterback and they’re utilizing it,"
Fraser said.
The Lords were disappointed at no{
being able to bring home the gold but
were determined to obtain the next best
thing: The bronze.
"I’d like to think that we were second," said Vince Cianfagna, team captain, "if they (Mohawk) beat us, they
deserve to be first."
The top-scoring Lords in the first
game were; Eamonn Heenan with 9 receptions, 3 touchdbwns and 1 conversion, Dave Brillinger with 5 receptions
and Vince Cianfagna with 4 receptions.
Quarterback Pete Ciulla completed 24
of 45 pass attempts.
In the second round game, Durham
went up against the Georgian Grizzlies
in a battle for third place in the division. The "second half team", as the
Lords call themselves, completely lived
up to their reputation in the second
quarter.
Quarterback, Pete Ciulla threw a 30
yard pass to receiver Eamonn Heenan,
giving the team their first touch down.

But the highlight of the game happened in the third quarter of play when
quarterback Pete Ciulla threw another
30 yard pass to Eamonn Heenan, who
then ran 45 yards for a touch down that
brought the score to 15-6 for Durham.
The Grizzlies retaliated with one
more touch down but the end of the
game saw the score at 15-12 for the

Lords.
Top scoring Lords in the second game
were Eamonn Heenan with 4 receptions
and 2 touch downs, Dan Richards with
4 receptions and a single and Dave Bril-
linger with 4 receptions.
"If we had played Loyalist first we
might have stood a chance of getting
(he silver," said coach Fraser: "But we
lost to a better team, tney proved it in
the second game by beating Loyalist."
Fraser said his team played a fine
game against Mohawk and kept good
pace, despite being beaten 34-20 while
they (Mohawk) beat Loyalist 62-14.
"Mohawk’s quarterback had a average of 877/," said Fraser, "and 50^ is
considered good."
"I feel we should have had the silver
after seeing the scpre.between Loyalist
and Mohawk," Said offensive quarterback, Dan Richards.

center, Dave Brillinger. "We didn’t pick
up at the right times."
But not all the players felt that way.
"I’m disappointed that we didn’t take
home the gold but I’m happy we got the
bronze," said team captain Vince Cianfagna, "I like the way our team handled
themselves. We .conducted ourselves
well and stuck it out there. I was proud
^
of them as a team."
"I’m satisfied. Mohawk were coached
well; they were the better team. It
would have been nice to eventually get
the gold at the playoffs," said Ernie
Rainbow, Lords coach and sports con
sultant for the QCCA chamionships.
"But the team had a good time and they
enjoyed themselves, that’s important

The lady Lords basketball team
walked away with an easy 86-35 victory
over the Loyalist Lancers Nov. 15 at
Durham College.
"This was the best hustle game I ve
seen in two years," said coach Dave Cutler. "Our fast break method worked extremely well."
Cutler said the team played a fantastic game but that it wasn’t an indication of how the team would fare in the
upcoming Ontario College Athletic Association’s (OCAA) basketball championships.
"This wasn’t a bell-weather game,
said Cutler, "I wouldn’t consider it an
indication of how we’ll- do in the
OCAA’s. In the OCAA’s therd is a lot
more pressure on the girls’.
The lady Lords are number one in the
official OCAA ladies basketball standings, with only three season games left
before the finals.
The top three scorers in the game
were Leslie Seeley with 30 points, Carol
Cruwys with 14 points and Pat Hayden
with 10 points.

A lucky offensive play against the

Lords soccer team into the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA)

havoc with the ball.

After the semi-finals an OCAA athletic banquet was held at Fanshawe College. All of the colleges participating in
the 1984 OCAA soccer championships
were present. An all-star team was
selected for the Eastern and the Western divisions.

Vaso Vujanovic, the coach of the
Durham Lords, was chosen for the allstar coach.

the Durham Lords was played. The
Strong winds and severe weather conditions made it difficult to keep the ball

The Sheridan Bruins played solidly
on offense taking many shots on the
Lord’s goalie. The Lords put forth a valiant effort with several good shots on
goal in the second half but this just
wasn’t enough to win. Sheridan beat
Durha’m 5-2. Goal scorers for the Lords
were Mario Bruno and Jeff Kristensen.
The Durham Lords left the OCAA
soccer championships with silver medals. The team should be given a lot of
credit for the fact that they entered the
championships as the top team in the
Eastern division with 5 wins and only
1 loss. "This is really good because last
year the’ Durham Lords soccer team
never made it info the championships,"
said coaqh Vujanovic.
