(From Youth done Wild)
Hy Skill Row
Prophetic words? Maybe. It seems
that adults more and more wish to
paint young people with the same
brush.
They don’t care about others,
tliey’re always screwing up.
This is not so. Yes some people are
like that but not everyone. Por those
who go to the Oshawa Centre to hang
arouind and chit-chat it can seem that
younger people are targets.
At the O.C., it appears tliat security
keeps a closer eye on young people in
groups than on people who are middle
aged.
Many young people have had to
deal with the scrutiny of security ever
since they started high school.
Security is a constant presence at the
mall.
The policy at the O.C. is that when
you’re at the food court you have to
buy something to eat or drink and not
be making any noise.
But there is a gray area here. If some
young people decide to sit around and
talk but don’t buy anything, is that
acceptable?
Arthur Barrett, an Entertainment
Administration student, says he has
had problems with security.
"One day, 1 was out with my boys.
They left and it was me and these two
girls there. Two girls came and sat
down. They had milk and food; I had
nothing and they kicked me out, and
(they) let them stay."
It seems that in a logical world those
who just mind their business should be
left alone.
By Barrett’s account he was talking
with the girls and that was it.
Let’s pose a question right now.
Have you seen any middle-aged people standing around in a group or gathered at a table just talking? Of course.
Have you ever seen security come
along and tell them to leave because
they are not eating anything?
Now you see the contradiction.
However, Kelly Viera, retail manager
at the Oshawa Centre, says there have
been cases where a middle-aged person
has been asked to leave because they
are being disruptive.
It just doesn’t happen a lot, so
young people seem more of a target.
To those under 25, this may seem
like a form of discrimination or harass-
No argument here. Teenagers and
other young people can be loud and
noisy and those who do disrupt other
people deserve to be kicked out. But If
a group is not doing anything bad then
what’s the problem? The problem
could be one of many things; for
instance lack of communication
between tlic administration and the
Ontario Guard Services qn what is and
what is not acceptable behaviour.
The OSG does not set out policy, the
administration does.
The main objective of the Oshawa
Centre is to provide a safe environment for all shoppers.
This constitutes keeping track of
various groups and making sure they
behave themselves, said Viera.
"We want to make it a safe environment for everyone. We want a person’s experience here at the Oshawa
Centre, when they come here, to be
enjoyable and one that they would
want to come back to.
We don’t want for people to enter a
mall, having to go through 30 people
who are swearing and spitting at
them."
No person, in any age group
deserves this. When you look at the
way some groups act, especially
around older people and kids, is it any
wonder that all teenagers are painted
with the same brush? Unfortunately,
when that happens, young people who
are behaving themselves can feel that
security is abusing their power by booting them out. Since not every student
is a thug, what’s the problem?
"Ignorance, that’s what I’d
say," said Barrett. Although Barrett
was talking about the security guards
in relation to the students, the same
can be said the other way around.
The only solution here is compromise. Students have to be made aware
that security has a job to do,
One way to make things better
would be to clearly post an official set
of rules of conduct.
There are currently no posted rules
in the O.C. saying what you can and
cannot do.
How can students obey the rules if keep their voices down and watch
what they say because there may be
they are nowhere to be found?
Viera says that a set of posted rules is children around.
For their part, security guards raced

Federal elections 2000
Grose encourages students to vote
BY KATE HERMELIN
Chronicle staff
If you don’t vote, then you
can’t complain about the
direction of politics.
That’s
Oshawa
what
Member of Parliament and
Liberal candidate Ivan Grose
believes.
This, of course, is coming
from someone who has been
involved in Canadian politics
in one way or another from
the time he was 14.
Grose took the time to raise
a family and run a business
before he made the decision to
run for office in 1988. Even
though he lost, he ran and
won in 1993 and then again in
1997.
Currently, in Ottawa he is
the vice-chair for the Justice
Committee and a member of
and
Affairs
Aboriginal
Northern Development committee.
His view on Canadian politics Is that, in general, "it is big
and cumbersome."
"It’s very time consuming
and you have to put forth a lot
of commitment."
Most politicians have a
seven-day work week, and he
finds that he misses anniversaries and birthday parties
because he’s so busy.
Despite this, Grose feels passionately about elections. It’s
IVAN GROSE: Our local MP running again In
Oshawa
However, he said, because
all got a notice to do so," he
said.
Grose understands and sympathizes With the problems of
students, especially when it
comes to rising tuition.
"But even though the cost
of post-secondary education is
going up, students only pay
approximately 10 per cent of
the total cost of going to
school".
He said students protest
against increasing tuition, and
it s not that the government
turns a blind eye to their problems. It’s just that there is a
stronger response from the
taxpayers and what is more
Important to them.
Canadians feel very strongly
about having, their taxes
reduced as opposed to tending
notjust the idea of being sent to the needs of students who
fOack to Ottawa; but it allows feel that tuition rates are too’

the federal government was to

would be a domino effect. The

the majority of voters favour

within reason, because "then

"This last fiscal year the federal government put $12 billion towards the .national

said
debt,"
Unfortunately, he said, the
interest accumulated from the
debt is $42 billion annually
and currently Canada is sitting
with a debt of $564 billion.
Each year the Liberal party has
allocated at least $3 billion to
repaying the national debt,
and if there were are a lot of
tax breaks for Canadians
would have more money in
their pocket but a higher
national debt.
Canada used to borrow from
the IMF is run very much like a
bank that lends out money to
help countries In financial
trouble," he said. "That Is why
the IMF goes into a country
and tells the government how
to spend the money it’s lent.
Usually, that means cutting
back on social spending, and
that is what angers students.
Though It is because the countries Involved in the IMF are so
far in debt that the most
important thing to the IMF is
to make sure they will get their
money back."
"It’s much like when a student gets a loan to go to school
from the government... you
don’t go out and spend the
money on a car, it’s so you can
go to school," he said.
Currently, the federal and
provincial governments readily support students to attend
post-secondary education, he
said. However, students still
don’t get Involved in politics
as much as they could.
The federal government
holds no responsibility for secondary or public schools but
Grose has made appearance at
several local public schools to

Canadian policies.
He is frequently asked what
qualifications one needs to
become an MP.
"All you need is to be a
"The world of politics at the
federal level is very slow moving," he said. "Everything we
do takes a long time because
we do a lot of revisions and
that’s why there have a lot of
amendments."
But politics is not a perfect
system. The government
makes mistakes and "election
promises are not always kept,"
he said. There’s always a reason why promises don’t come
through".
"Usually," said Grose, "It’s
because of a conflict with the
provincial government.
Take for example national
day care, or government housing; both programs ran into
problems because the province
(Ontario) downloaded many
of its services on to municipalities when it was asked not to
by the federal government.
Another topic Grose feels
very passionately about is the
environment. When asked .
what the Liberal government
is doing to help Canada’s
ecosystem he answered "not
enough".
"It’s not that the minister of
the environment is not doing
a fine job. It’s just that the
population is more interested
in tax cuts than the environ.

With elections coming up

The "Sex" pub and rave was
sold out of tickets before they
even opened the doors at
9pm.
The line of ticketless students stretched across the
stone patio of the student centre. The students stood shivering In anticipation for at least
ane glimpse of the lingerie
Fashion show.
Will Ellis was extremely
pleased with the turnout for
the pub.
"ft was amazing," said Ellis.
"I’m proud that this event
took place."
Inside, costumed Durham
students shook their booties to
the mix of retro, house and
R&B pumping out of DJ Funky

The lingerie fashion show
started promptly at 11:30.

Will Ellis reminded the

and encouraged the audience
not to touch the models.
"Some of them (models)
took it as a joke, as it was
Intended." commented
Ellis.
"Some took It a little seriously,
but overall I think the crowd
enjoyed it."
The first models that came
out were wearing see-through
genie type outfits, complete
with g-strings. Bums exposed,
the models strutted their stuff
for the crowd.
The next model danced to
hip-hop vibes and shook her
booty for the screaming men.
Representing the hardworking construction workers,
the next performer donned a
hard hat and stripped down to
his Scooby Doo boxers while
rocking out to ACDC.
A timid, nervous-looking
girl walked out next, briefly
exposing her lingerie for all to
see after an onslaught of catcalls.
The naughty ninja was next,
stroking his staff for the crowd
until one of the genles
returned to the stage to cut off
his pants.
A train of girls was now up,
stripping off their robes in a
choreographed display. All
gawked, but the show was just
getting started.
Two girls and a guy proceeded to file onto the stage and
then bump and grind together
in a sort of sex train.
The frenzied crowd now got
slightly out of control.

A can of whipped cream was
produced which was applied to

The finale for the night was
a Durham male who was
stripped down to his boxers by
two willing females.
The crowd erupted in a flurry of feminine screams.
The rest of the night was full
of pumping tunes and lots of
good food at the free rave held
upstarts.
Ellis doesn’t think they will
have a sex pub again.

The crowd was waiting in
anticipation. It was 45 minutes past the time that the

On Oct. 26, Durham

Most people didn’t even realize there was an opening

polite applause between
songs. They finished with

Unfortunately, what everyone was really there for was

Finally, around 11:15

continued without further

With the loss. in the semifinals the Lady Lords still managed a berth in the bronze
medal game. They played a
near-perfect first half, keeping
Mohawk scoreless. In the second half their defensive strategy broke down and they lost 20. Vujanovic thought the team

At the championships the

Humber score once. Head
coach Vaso Vujanovic thought
his team played well considering the number of injuries
they encountered.
"I thought the girls played
well (despite) the injuries we
had going into the OCAA tournament," said Vujanovic.
"One of our best players was
injured five minutes into the
game and after that Humber
went on to score three goals in

championships.
."Endurance was especially a
key in the bronze medal game.

didn’t have enough gas left in

Early in the season the Lady
Lords were in the national
rankings but in the second
half of the season the other
teams started to catch up.
"Any time you are nationally ranked you feel pressure to
produce," said Vujanovic. "I
don’t think that really played

"I like the people, and the way that

In. the pre-season, and in the Dave
Stewart tournament, he made a huge
impact on DC’s game, such as scoring
29 points in the game against Niagara.
He also collected 79 points in the
St. Lawrence invitational tournament,
32 of those points coming in the semifinals game against Seneca College.

From the opening pitch of

describe the women’s fastball season was perfect.
The "Lady Lord’s rolled

a 10-0 record during the regular season and winning the
OCAA championship.
The season looked like it
would be a tough one for
Durham after losing star

picked up two new pitchers
trom the Whitby area to fill
the void.
While the pitchers, Trish
and
Cowman
Penni
Wheeler, were skeptical
about being able to replace
Tabb, pitching coach Mal
Swift was confident, feeling
they could replace Tabb if
they worked really hard.
And replace her they did.
Wheeler posted a 5-0 record
during the season and a 2-0
record at the OCAA championships, while taking the
honours for top pitcher at
the championships and
Cowman took the top pitch-
er honours for the league
with a 5-0 record and a 0.23

Cowman’s ERA was also a
new OCAA record.
The two pitchers were the

that was built strongly all
the way up.
