of Simcoe Street and Conlin

this land for the 75 acres directly across Simcoe Street. This
will allow DC to plan the university centre directly north of its
current property.
DC president Gary Polonsky
said many locations were considered for the university centre but
Windfields Farm was the only
location that completely suited
DC’s needs.
"(Windfields Farm) is extraordinary in its scope," Polonsky
said, "in its beauty, in its heritage, and in its potential legacy
of being proximal to, and integrated with, the applied, workforce-based offerings of Durham
College."
The DUC planning committee
worked with regional councillor
Irv Harrell to be sure that the
plan would not harm the environment around Windfields
Farm,
"We wanted to be sure that we
got it right," Polonsky said, "for
the students and the rivers and
the trees and all life forms, for
generations to come."
Charles Taylor. president of
Windfields Farm would like to
continue in his father’s tradition
of making post-secondary education available to the residents of
Durham Region. Taylor’s father,
E.P. Taylor, helped launch
Durham College with his original land donation 28 years ago.

Meet your VP of social affairs
BY CHRISTY MACDONALD
Roxburgh is a second-year
public relations student, one of a
class of 17, down from 44 at the
beginning of first year.
"We’ve grown very tight-knit,"
she said.
Public relations is a threeyear program at Durham, with
the entire second semester of
third year on placement. For this
reason Roxburgh will probably
not be running for a DCSA position’ next year.
"My education is my number

If experience was the only
thing to judge her by, vice-president of social affairs Clair
Roxburgh would be doing a great
job.
She was the president of her
high school in Grade 12, was the
head facilitator ofFrosh Week at
Carleton University in her second year there, and class president, student ambassador and
peer tutor last year at Durham.
Roxburgh’s duties include the
weekly Yuk Yuk’s shows in the
Student Centre, concerts like
Spirit of the West, and DC’s winter carnival Squeeze In The
Freeze. She also organized the
four-day orientation week.
The Spirit concert, attended
by more than 300 Durham students and their guests, took a lot
of work. Roxburgh had to try to
get Indian food for the band, but
settled for Mexican instead.
"I have to go grocery shopping
for bands," she said.
A big help to Roxburgh so far
this year has been Andre
Boudreau, Student Centre manager. He has previous experience
from a similar job at Ryerson.
"Andre is my Godsend,"
Roxburgh said.
One challenge for Roxburgh
will be to liven up the

Student Centre, She will use

"Six of the eight people on the

with 4,600 people in it, that you
can’t find eight people who want
to get paid to do some of the fun
stuff they like to do?"
Roxburgh says she needs help
promoting events and selling
tickets. It might be a good way to
get a foot in the door of the
DCSA, and earn some money at
the same time.

Beatson. "We took it out and put

"We are about to cut another

"Most (students) come along in

sometimes they come in a private car, and they get out on the

Do students
give a damn
any more ?
College and university students don’t care what
happens to them. The government can double
tuition, cut back the student assistance program,
increase class size and reduce funding without so
much as a peep from students.
As a group, students are apathetic. Each year,
thousands of dollars are handed over in tuition without anyone ever questioning how it is spent.
Last year, when the federal government
announced changes in funding to post-secondary
institutions that could double tuition, the Durham
College Student Association held a food drive.
Perhaps this year, in an open act of defiance, they
might hold an all-night study festival.
Each student at the college gives the student asso-
Where there’ s smoke, there’ s fire
ciation $244. At a minimum wage job, that’s more
than 35 hours of work. Nobody questions where or
how the money is spent. No one ever asks if the college even needs a student association.
A quick look at voter turnout in the last student
election indicates most students don’t even know the
siddent association exists. Less than three per cent
of Durham students bothered to cast ballots in the
last election.
The college has a full-time population of approximately 4,000. That’s nearly $1 million in fees students pay to the association without questioning how
it is spent.
The apathy goes beyond Durham. Sir Sanford
Fleming College in Peterborough recently held a
byelection where less than 2 1/2 per cent of the students voted. At Humber College in Etobicoke, only
135 students out of a population of 10,000 bothered to
vote.
Even at universities, long considered hotbeds of
radicalism, voter turn out has been pathetic. At last
year’s student parliament elections at the University
of Windsor, less than six per cent of students voted.
It seems that as long as students have their Kraft
Dinner, their Star Trek reruns and new episodes of
the X-Files to watch, they really don’t care about the
world around them.
Students should demand to know why things are
the way they are and talk to the student association
about how their money is spent.
Students should talk to their government representatives and let them know their concerns.
Students must demand clear answers to legitimate
questions.
It is their money, their education and their future
at stake. Students owe it to themselves to at least
show an interest.

With the ban on tobacco advertising lifted, critics
are afraid the market will soon be Hooded with tons of
advertising, possibly aimed at children.
In September, the Supreme Court overturned the
1988 Tobacco Products Control Act, designed to prevent all forms of tobacco advertising and force manufacturers to put warnings on cigarette packs to warn of
the health dangers.
The Court ruled the ban infringed the tobacco industry’s right to free speech. The
decision followed a sevenyear court battle between
Canadian cigarette manufacturers and the federal government, along with antismoking groups.

No matter how distasteful the subject, people have a

adults in sexual situations. Police decided his art was
obscene and confiscated it.

Equality must
be the goal
Last Monday, the highly publicized and much criticized Million Man March was held in Washington.
It’s organizer, Louis Farrakhan has verbally
attacked whites, Jews and homosexuals. He disagrees with interracial marriage. He said he did not
want black women to attend the political event.
However, some women were invited to speak.
But sharing Farrakhan’s racial views or not, the
rally was important to all races.
Farrakhan organized the march to send a message
to Washington. He wanted to tell politicians blacks
are strong and demand respect,
No argument here.
Blacks, like all races, have the right to an education, a right to vote, and a right to protest if they feel
their rights are being infringed.
When Mike Tyson made his comeback, women’s
rights groups protested. And the "Embarrass Harris"
campaign on tour across Ontario has ended more
than once with pepper spray in the eyes of protesters.
The march in Washington was necessary so blacks
can unify and prove to the nation they should not be
stereotyped as criminals or under-educated.
Farrakham is trying to prove blacks deserve more
than what whites are offering. Equality should be
the goal, not racial superiority - black, brown, yellow
or white.

class to create float

project display
BYJIMMACDONALD
Chronicle staff
The Motor City Kinsmen have
hired the first year interior
design class at Durham College
to design and build their float at
this year’s Santa Clans parade
in Oshawa,
Last spring, the Kinsmen
brought the idea to Bill Swnn,
program director of communications/design/general arts courses. Suzanne Warner, an interior
design teacher, took the idea and
made it a project for her students. They competed against
each other in teams of three.
The students had two weeks
to design and build models of
their individual floats, which
totalled 13. They were judged by
a panel of four judges from the
Kinsmen organization last
Tuesday.
The Motor City Kinsmen is an
Oshawa-based service club.
They raise money through
fundraisers and donate to different organizations.
The Motor City Kinsmen are
paying the students $2,000 for
the float (plus costs), and the college has agreed to match that
sum.
The interior design students
are using the money to buy new
chairs in their classroom.
Although the team who
designed the -winning float did
not receive a financial prize,
Warner is giving them bonus
marks. The first-place team
received seven points, the second place received five and the
third three. Students need to
accumulate 60 points to get perfect on their project.

Were you feeling a little under
pressure during the week of Oct.
9 to 13 ?
If you were, you should have
dropped by the pit and had your
blood pressure checked by the
nursing students.
The check was done for free as
a part of the nursing program.
First-year students, with help
from those in third year, checked
blood pressure and explained
what the results meant. It was
an effort to make people more
aware of their health.
A blood pressure reading consists of two numbers. Systolic
blood pressure (which is the
larger number) occurs in the
heart when it beats and should
be no higher than 140.

Offenders Act
BY CHARLENE MCCUE
Chronicio staff
It is a story of brotherly Jove,
of a family that wants answers,
of two children who will grow up
without a father, and of a man
determined to change a
Canadian law that he says protects murderers.
Louie Ambas was a family
man who loved to work alongside
his two brothers. He was the
man you see at the park spending time playing with his children. A computer freak who
liked to surf the Internet and a
person who went out of his way
to help others. Simply, Louie
Ambas was a nice guy.
On May 10 Ambas’ life was
cut short when he was brutally
murdered while working in his
brother’s store, Tom Houston
Boots in Scarborough. Ambas
was stabbed 40-50 times as he,
tried to crawl to the front door
for help. The man charged is an
unnamed 17-year-old whose
identity is protected by the
Young Offenders Act.
Tom Ambas, Louie’s brother,
is making sure his brother doesn’t become just another statistic.
He began the Kid Brother
Campaign six weeks after the
murder, when a young offender
was arrested for the crime.
Ambas believes that young
offenders accused of murder
should be tried in adult court
and sentenced as adults, and
that their identity should not be

Despite recent government
cutbacks and people having less
money to spend, Durham Region
residents have been consistent
in their support of the United
Way. Over the past several
years, the funds it has received
have stayed at or near the projected levels.
Corporations and other businesses have helped to keep the
campaign going. General Motors
continues to be one of the biggest
supporters while smaller (but no
less important) companies are
just starting their, campaigns.
"With many in the Public
Service Division facing government cutbacks, we recognize
that it is a difficult situation for
employees, but so far there still
seems to be strong support for
the United Way campaign within these organizations," United
Way director of development
Robert Howard said in a news
release.
Among charity organizations,
the United Way is one of the
most efficient.

Tobacco companies were
pleased with the ruling, as they
believed it a freedom of speech
issue. Imperial Tobacco of
Montreal, issued a press release
the day of the decision.
"We are very pleased that
Canada’s highest court has
accepted our arguments that a
total ban against advertising of
tobacco products contravened
the right of free expression as set
out in the Charter of Rights,"
Don Brown, Chairman of
Imperial Tobacco, said in the
release.
Now that the ban is over,
health groups are scared of the
possibilities. One of the major
organizations affected is the
Canadian Cancer Society.
Director of Public Affairs Ken
Kyle voiced his apprehension
over the Supreme Court’s ruling.
"The Cancer Society feels very
strongly about this issue," said
^^"^
Kyle. "It was a judgment of the
Supreme Court of Canada that
has disastrous implications for
national health."
Regional officials are also
worried about the ban being
repealed. People whose job it is
to ensure public health wouldn’t
mind seeing the product itself
outlawed.
"We’re not pleased," said Alex
Connor,
Manager
of
Environmental Health for the
Durham Region Public Health
Unit. "We’d like to see as much
restriction on tobacco as possi-
ble."
But cigarette makers want to
downplay the court’s ruling,
assuring the public that they
will not suddenly Hood the market with ads.
"Imperial Tobacco has committed to continue to comply
with the TPCA...for a reasonable
period of time," said Brown.
Nor are advertising compa-
nies lining up for cigarette com-
panies’ money.
"We’re waiting to see what the
tobacco companies are going to
do," said Yvonne McKinnon of
Mediacom, a billboard advertiser. She docs not expect a lot of
demand for ads, nor a lot of
money to be involved.
Under the new rules, cigarette packages will still carry
warning messages, but they will
bo attributed to the government.
The industry is also prepared
to accept prohibitions on television advertising, noting that it
pulled TV ads itself in 1972.
Tobacco companies are also
hesitant to flood the marketplace, as public opinion is
against them. They must be
careful promoting a product that
people find acceptable.
"Cigarettes are the only consumer product that kills when
used precisely as the manufacturer intends," said Kyle.

CAT program is popular with drivers
BY JIM MACDONALD
Chronicle staff
On Jan, 24, the Combat Auto
Theft program (CAT) was introduced to the province.
Today, more than 25,000
Ontario car owners use it.
The Canadian Automobile
Association, along with Crime
Prevention Ontario and selected
regional police boards across the
province, brought the program
in to help reduce the number of
car thefts.
People can view the CAT program as extra insurance that
their car will be found if it is
stolen at night. Police are asking drivers who usually do not
drive between the hours of 1 a.m.
and 5 a.m. to put the special
CAT sticker in the rear window
of’their car.
This tells police they are
allowed to pull the vehicle over if
it’s being driven between those
hours.
Police will then check the driver of the vehicle for license and
registration papers.
According to Mamie Amodeo,
provincial co-ordinator for CPO,
there has only been one car with
the CAT sticker stolen.
"It was dumped in a parking
lot," Amodeo said, "The police
officer who found it saw the
sticker, punched up the license
number and saw it was reported
stolen. Other than that, it’s too
early (to show statistics)."
The car was returned to the
owner with little damage.
To take part in the program,
car owners must fill out registration forms available at Canadian
Automobile Association (CAA) or
police departments across the
province. After completing the
forms, owners must send them
to CPO in Oakville, which issues
the stickers.
Similar programs in the U.S.
and British Columbia have
existed for several years with
success, as has the Auto Stop
program in Ottawa.
According to the Durham
Region Police records department, 1,532 vehicles were stolen
in Durham in 1993.
In 1994, the number of thefts
increased by 40 per cent, reaching 2,151.

B eauty and the B east is magical
BY DEBORAH BROCK
Chronicle staff
Once upon a time...
Beauty.
Beast.
Together they make a spectacular team in Canada’s premiere
production of Disney’s Beauty
and the Beast.
It’s the story of a cruel prince
transformed into an ugly beast
by a sorceress’s spell. To change
back into a prince, the beast
must win the love of a woman,
Belle, before his 21st birthday.
The Beast (Chuck Wagner)
takes Belle (Kerry Butler) prisoner in his castle. Belle’s father
Maurice (Terry Doyle) is originally taken prisoner by the
Beast and Belle gives up her
freedom to free her father. The
relation ship that develops
between the Beast and Belle
pierces the prince’s harsh exterior and he finds himself falling in
love with his captive. The egotistical macho Gaston (Dan
Chameroy) wants Belle for his
wife only because she is the most
beautiful woman in town. The

servants in his castle will remain

In the end the Beast wins Belle’s
heart.
The production goes to great
lengths to capture the feel of the
cartoon, including the costumes
and scenes. The costumes are
the same color and design as the
cartoon. Belle’s dress in the ballroom scene with the Beast is
beautiful. More than 100 people
were involved in the sewing of
the costumes.
Butler portrays the character
of Belle as if she was born to the
role. Her clear voice filled the
Prince of Wales theatre with
happiness. The captivated audience sat on the edge of their
seats and gave a standing ovation at the end of the performance.

Tap your toes to Crazy for You
BY SANDY FOSTER
Chronicle staff
From the moment the lights
went down and the overture of
Gershwin’s finest tunes filtered
through the theatre, the audience could be heard singing
along in anticipation of Crazy
For You at the Royal Alex.
There’s high-stepping, often
acrobatic dance numbers, soaring, melodious vocals, zany slapstick and corny (you knew what
was coming) jokes.
It’s soon evident the audience
is having as much fun as the
cast. Who could resist this infectious ensemble?

BY SANDY FOSTER
The story begins in the east
with Bobby (Dirk Lumbard) who
wants to be on the stage, but his
mother (Dinah Christie) wants
him to work in the family banking business.
She sends him out west to
foreclose on a small theatre
owned by Everett Baker (Mickey
Rooney) and his daughter Polly
(Camilla Scott).
Polly and Bobby fall’in love,
but she doesn’t know he’s there
to foreclose, and he’s ’left a

Judging by the audience’s
laughter, they enjoyed his little ad-lib and fortunately we
don’t miss the rest of the dialogue, because it only continues after the laughter dies
down.

he was during his GarlandRooney days, Mickey makes
the most of the dance numbers by feigning a pulled

ENTERTAINMENT
Moviegoers deflated over absence of action
BY CHRISTY MACDONALD
Even sisters Hy and Glady
Joe (Finn’s grandmother and
great-aunt) have a juicy story.
Hy had an affair with Glady
Joe’s husband while her own
husband was in the hospital
dying. That’8 hardly a moral to
be passed down from generation
to generation.
Morals aside, the flashback
scenes to when these women
were young were worth the $8
ticket. The cast of younger actors
was more entertaining than any
of the action or dialogue taking
place in the present. That cast
included Claire Danes (My SoCalled Life, Little Women,) Lecy
Goranson (Becky on Roseanne,)
Samantha
Mathis
(Little

and Mykeiti Williamson (Bubba

years as Mourning Breath. The

band was tired of doing covers
and decided to form an original
band with its own songs.
With Brad Yarrow on drums,
Jason Lovell on lead guitar, Mike
Shaw on rhythm guitar and
vocals, and Buddy Rogers on bass,
they started out playing in a basement. They enlisted Tyier Smith
to sing vocals and play the harmonica. The original line-up has
been together since. Smith is writing the lyrics and the rest of the
band contributes the music.
The songs are not usually deep.
They write about what is going on
around them.
"Our songs are not about anything political," said Smith.
"They’re about interacting with
other people."
Smith wrote Violated, about
Kristen French and Leslie
Mahaffey. It’s a tribute to the two
girls. Violated can be heard on the
Moon Room CD.
All members of the band are in
their 20s and are from Durham
region.
Smith is a second-year business
student at Durham College, while
the other band members hold
down jobs. Smith doesn’t find it
hard to play in a band and go to
school at the same time.
"It’s harder to work 48 hours
than go to school," said Yarrow.
Odin Red has been playing a
lot, but doesn’t receive much publicity. They’ve played at the
Crow’s Nest and Moon Room in
Oshawa. The band opened for the
Headstones in Oshawa. Odin Red
has played at the Opera House
and El Mocambo in Toronto. A
small percentage of their shows
are all ages. They like to think of
themselves as a college band.
"Sometimes we like playing all
ages because they’re honest", said
Smith,
"We test new stuff out on the
kids," said Yarrow. "They’re
more receptive."
The band has a number of
influences. They like the music of
Black Sabbath, Neil Diamond and
Our Lady Peace.
"That’s where our band is different from other bands," said
Smith. "We have a combination of
all our influences."

A new fall TV se ason

At long last, most of the new
television programs are upon us.
New shows include red-necks,
single guys, and girls named
Caroline. We have now shows in
the 90s starring actors from the
70s and 80s. Shows about everything from battleships to spaceships.
However, when December
rolls around, a large percentage
of these shows will be cancelled,
and the networks will need new
shows to replace them. With
that in mind, the networks may
be wise to consider these ideas as
replacements.

A bitter-sweet weekend in hoop s
Lady Lords
take first place
at Niagara
Invitational
tournament
BY CHRIS BLOWES
Chronicle staff
They weren’t supposed to win.
At least, not so quickly.
With a roster made up of mostly rookies, and with a new head
coach, the Lady Lords basketball
team defied the odds, capturing
first place at the Niagara College
Invitational last weekend.
Durham unveiled its new bal-
anced offence as they knocked off
home-town favorite Niagara
College 55-32. Durham held
Niagara to just 16 points in the
first half while tallying 24 of their
own. The trend continued in the
second half as Niagara could only
manage another 16 points against
a punishing defence.
And it was the defence that
gave Durham the trophy, according to the squad’s coaching staff.
"We picked our defence up to
another level," says head coach
Mike Duggan. "When you can
hold your opponents averaging
only 11 points per half you’ve got
to be pleased. We were going into
this tournament to gain experience. To win it is a real bonus."
After breezing through their
first game, the coaching staff worried about overconfidence. It
would have been understandable
had Durham taken the court in
game two somewhat flat.

However, such thoughts were
quickly dismissed as the Lady
Lords put on a defensive clinic,
pounding Redeemer College 68-
14, a score even more impressive
when it’s broken down. By halftime the Lady Lords had built up
a 30-10 lead. The second half was
even more lopsided. The Lady
Lords held Redeemer to an
unheard of four points in the second half while scoring 38. Only
four players managed to score for
Redeemer.
"We really started jelling
together out there," says team
captain Colleen Cherwaty. "With
more rookies we really didn’t
expect to come together so quickly, but our scoring is so balanced.
Everybody contributed."
Against Redeemer, every
Durham player managed to score.
Stephanie Kassian led the way
with 16 points.
In the third and final game of
the series Durham made winning
look like an old habit. The team
faced their second American
opponent of the tournament
(Redeemer was the first) in
D’Youville College. Again the
Durham "D" was dazzling, holding D’Youville to a mere 24 points
while rookie Stephanie Kassian
stepped up big again, scoring 18,
giving the Lady Lords a 43-24 win
and the first place trophy to go
along with it.
"All us rookies were nervous,"
said Kassian. "But we just sucked
it up and gave it our best."
"Winning this tournament
really gives us a confidence
boost,"
said
Cherwaty.
"Especially since we beat two U.S.
teams. I’m proud of this team."
With the tournament victory
Durham improves its exhibition
record to 4-0. The ladies will try
to continue their winning ways
tonight (tuesday) at home against
George Brown College with a 5:30
tip-off.

2.6 seconds left. Collins missed
the first shot but hit the second. It
was going to take a miracle to win
with less than three seconds, but
there was still that possibility.
The chance of a Durham player
catching the ball, turning around
from about 30 feet out, and hitting
a shot in 2.6 seconds was very
slim. The problem was, the Lords
never even got that chance
because just as had happened five
seconds before, the inbound pass
was stolen. This time there was
no time left on the clock and the
tournament was over.
Lords’ coach Kerry Vinson was
disappointed with the loss but
was quick to point out how
pleased he was at his team’s effort.
"By and large I was very happy
with the fact that the team put out
a good effort, didn’t give up and
played hard right until the end,"
said Vinson. "It was a game that
could have gone either way."
The Lords’ top scorer was

Soffballers perfectagain

Chronicle staff
The Lady Lords soflball team
put the finishing touches on
another perfect season with wins
over Canadore and Loyalist.
Friday the 13th proved to be
scary at first for Durham but
they came back to make it a
nightmare for Canadore by taking both ends of a double-header
by scores of 9-6 and 17-2.
Canadore was leading game
one 4-2 after three innings but
Durham stormed back with
three in the bottom of the third
and added four more in the fifth
for the win.
Stacey Fertile was the offensive star for the Lady Lords,
going 3 for 4 with two runs and
two RBIs.
Tanya Becker, Christina
Cosby and Janice Gordon all had
two hits.
Gordon also scored two runs
and had two RBIs while Becker
knocked in a pair of runs as well.
Cheryl Vaughn went the distance, allowing only four hits
and three earned runs. She
stuck out four batters.
Believe it or not, Durham was
also in danger of losing game two
until they woke up in the late
innings.
The Ladies scored four times
in the fifth and went absolutely
berserk in the sixth as they
scored an incredible 13 times.
Fertile once again led the
team with three hits, scoring
once, and driving home another.
Becker was the big run producer with five RBIs on two hits.
She also scored two runs.
Pitcher Julie Collins settled
down after giving up two runs in
the first inning. She gave up
only one earned run on four hits
while striking out seven.
Durham’s final game of the
regular season took place on Oct.
17 in Belleville against Loyalist.
Vaughn (five innings) and
Collins (two) combined on a twohit shutout. Vaughn struck out
10 and Collins struck out four as
they simply overwhelmed the
Lancer batters.
Gordon was the only batter to
get two hits for the Lady Lords.
Tasha Gardiner went 1 for 1
with three RBI’s.
Cosby went 1 for 2 with two
runs and one RBI and Fertile
continued her hot streak going 1
for 2, scoring once.
Jim Nemish has now coached
the to an outstanding record of
27 league wins in a row dating
back to the 1993 season.
Their 10-0 record this season
made Durham the number one
seed and the favourite at the
