Pettit by Allan BockChronicle Staff

The doors of Durham College are closed to foreign students because of space limitations, not discrimination says Gerry Pettit,-senior student affairs officer.

’"Most of ^ the programs here at the

college are oversubscribed and college policy states that we have to accept Ontario students first, thert Canadian students and foreign students lastly," says Pettit.

Pettit’s statements come on the heels. of the decision by the University of Western Ontario to adopt a quota system, limiting foreign students to 8 per cent of the total freshman enrolment.

_, The’reasoning behind the decision was to "keep the student population dominantly

Canadian," according to university president George Connell.

Pettit said this is basically the college position although he pointed out there is no quota system at Durham because there is no need for one. "If you’re going to turn away Canadian students, you can hardly accept foreign students,"

The Canadian taxpayer would be up in arms wanting to know why his son or daughter can’t go to university, when a foreign student can, explained Pettit.

The bottom line to the whole matter, says Pettit, is that the population has caught ug to the existing facilities and ne doesn’t think the government is prepared to build more colleges. �

But the situation has changed drastically since the early seventies when the colleges were filled less than capacity and the immigration laws were much more flexible, says Pettit.

’ "At that time, I used to get three to four thousand letters a year from foreign students wanting to come to Durham College," says Pettit, adding, ."but their motives were to get into the country, not academic."

Since then, the immigration laws have become tougher, says George Scahlon, immigration councillor at the Canada Employment Centre in Oshawa. The new law, put into effect April 10, 1978, restricts foreign students’from easy admittance into Canada.

The foreign student must now apply

outside of Canada, show a letter of acceptance from a recognized college or university in Canada and show financial information proving they could suppbrt thennelves.

. However, Pettit admits there are a significant number of foreign students attend- ing Durham, but they are classified as landed immigrants, meaning they have made Canada a permanent home with their families.

Pettit cites a familiar problem he faces every year concerning enrolment. "I might have 300 applicants for 48 dental positions, which means I’m going to be turning away area applicants." "What we’re actually giving the foreign student is a definite maybe, which in essence is a no," says Pettit.

by Kelly Riley^Chpnicle Staff It didn’t takelong to realize arid it came as no surprise to

many predictors when at about 7:2 8 p.m. on Thursday, Bill Davis and his Big Blue Machine (the Conservatives) officially wooed the voters in Ontario. .

Election results began at 7 p.m. to be reported to the public and following quickly was the’ trend towards the Conservative majority. ,

^»rhap8 fbe meet auryftsint KButt was the sharp decline of the Nw l^mi^ro^iB^/T^ l&»t ̂ creat deal of ̂ rwmd from Metl^ ̂Torf^ntfEo and Northern Ontario Krhich caused them to go trom 33 seats to below 25.

It was obvious to studiers of the.election that the NDP’s loss was the PC’s gain. The more the NDP lost seats the more the Tones won seats and close races usually were between the Liberals and Tories arid often went to the PC’s.

The 1981 provincial election results kept with the general swing to the right in North America. The majority government which Premier Davis acquired emphasized the strength of this "right" swing.

Before Davis made his acceptance speech, his opponents Stuart Smith (Liberal) and Michael Cassidy (NDP) spoke to their party supporters, constituents and Ontario voters.

Cassidy, from the Chateau- Laurier in Ottawa, first appeared on television shortly after 8 p.m. to speak to his supporters and immediately got a tumultuous welcome.

Cassidy gave credit to the aids who helped him win the Ottawa Centre riding once again, especially with the extra strain of his being a party leader and not always around in his own riding because of his duties all across the province.

Cassidy made after-election promises such as keeping rent costs low, keeping medical treatment available at one price to all, to try axui ensure reasonable energy prices a»d to prote-pt jobs in Oi^rio. ’"(his is my first campaign/’ swd Cass^;^i^li*<&^ytfu it is not my tost/’ - w*’ ^Stuart STmith came on shortly afterwards to discuss with3 his supporters and constituents as well as with the voters of Ontario, his hopes for the future as leader of the opposition and his thoughts about ̂the responsibility he has to his, constituents of Hamilton West.

To his supporters, Smith said, "they carried the flag for me." He congratulated his opponents for a good clean election campaign, they were a credit-to their parties, he said.

Smith stressed the fact that the NDP dropped to third place by a very decisive margin, allowing the Liberals to establish themselves in a greater way.

"Smith gave no clues to whether or not he would leave as the leader of the Liberal party in Ontario, which he had made mention of earlier in his campaign when referring to a possible PC takeover.

The cashing of two Student Administrative Council (SAC) cheques in a Toronto branch of the Bank of Montreal has led the Oshawa branch used by the SAC to introduce stricter controls in banking policy. ^

Following the cashing of two cheques totalling $750, on Feb. 13, at the Finchdale Plaza location of the Bank of Montreal, a refer before posting policy has been added to the SAC account by their Oshawa branch on Simcoe and Beatrice St

The normal policy of cashing SAC cheques only if they have both the signatures of SAC president Jim MacDonell and treasurer Sue Krem, was not followed by the Toronto branch The refer before posting policy meansthat no cheque issued on the SAC account win be cashed until it has been referred to a bank supervisor who will verify that the two necessary signatures are present If they are not, the cheque wffl not be cashed.

^ The cheques were printed with the Durnam College SAC name on them but were issued and signed by a party unknownto the SAC. A cheque for $500 was made out for cash and the otfierrfor$250, was issued to another parto unknown to the SAC.

With the return of pubs on Marcn 26, will be the return of the 60’s, the Beatles in particular.

All this week Beatle music will be played .in the cafeteria at lunchtime and at the pub at Armstrong roller Skating Rink, a group will be featured who imitate the famous 60’s quartet.

Grottybeats are performing at the pub. Everyone is encouraged to "relive your Beatle fantasies," says Jim MacDonell, SAC president.

Keeping in the spirit of the return of the 60’s will be the return of low prices as ticketswill be $2 for students and $3 for guests. �

Thursday will be "dress as your favorite Beatle fantasy day" andat the dance that night, prizes will be awarded for the best Beatle fantasy cqstume. J

The SAC and pub committee will also sponsor an Air hand contest, as people who submit their names by noon on Thursday will be getting their chance to mouth the words to the Beetle’s music and play their imaginary instruments. These Beatle fantasies will be performed between the sets o( the Grottybeats, �

The SAC is expecting a maximum turnout of 700 students and 100 guests.

"It’s going to be great." says MacDonell. Beatlemania lives on at Durham! .

Hailed as the greatest scientific breakthrough since splitting of the atom, deoxyi- bonucleic acid (DNA) manip- ulation, will in time insure us of abundant food supplies, a renewable energy source and ’remedies for afflictions pre- viously thought to be incurable. The only claim this new breed of science does not make is the ability to raise the dead.

Spawned from the theory that when the genes from one organism are succesmUy linked to those^ot another, a com- pletely diveijse creature, with characteristics of both will tfe created and a new tailor-mad^ life form will be available for employment as a tool of industry, this is the^essence of biotech- nology. \v

Biotechnology is just a title attached toKhe growing uses of microbiological develop- ments in industry.

"Basically biotechnology involves the manipulation or engineering of organisms to perform a specific task," Linda Ploeger, manager of industrial policy, Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism told the Chronicle in an exclusive interview.

Work in this field, and unravelling the secret of the DNA molecule, which Ploeger refers to as, "The stuff of life," began in the mid-1960’s. Nobel Prize winning researchers Francis Crick and JamesWatson revealed DNA’s extraordinary ability. They untangled its

twisting double-helix structure, making gene splicing or DNA manipulation plausible.

They discovered the DNA molcule was comprised of six elements; sugar, phosphates and four basic ingredients, (A) adenine, (T) thymine, (G) guanine and (C) cytosine.

Within the double spiralling design, which Watsonand Crick successfully charted, was the secret of how DNA related its information of heredity from one generation to the next.

They determined DNA , was like a series of intertwining ’sentences, with four capital letters, A, T, G, and C beginning each phrase. As well they came to realize the punctuation marks within the sentences served as codes for one of twenty-three amino acids, found within all forms bflife^

With this knowledge’ ui mind they were able to read sentences. Combining these sentences formed paragraphs, and the paragraphs were a step-by-step instruction manual from which all life could be assembled.

Qnce this knowledge was in script there was no turning back, and it was theorized that the genes from one organism could be interwoven with others

’ to develop new forms of life,

manage the facility. Ploeger adds, because of

the newness of the industry, few people are already involved in it, leaving tremendous employment opportunities tor capably endowed college or university students. Durham College hopes to prepare graduates from the food and drug course for these oppor- tunities, and looks forward to developing a new laboratory where they can deal with toxic or unstable chemicals.

It is hoped this develop- ing industry will provide many times the initial investment when it gets inte^full swing later this year. /

There are a number of uses man-made- ̂ rgansism can be programmed to perform, ’"Pnepossibilities are limited ^only to the extent of a person’s imagination,’" says Ploeger. "It will affect every aspect of our daily lives, our economy, agriculture, pharmaceuticals,» forestry, mining, chemicals, the energy crisis and the en- vironment."

Two young boys save 6-year-old by Richard Bionda Chronicle Staff

The swollen and icy waters which flowed through the culvert under Radom St. in South Pickenng Feb. 18 would have ended fheTife of 6-year-old Mark Smith had it not been for the swift and direct action of Scan Hovington, 13, and Roy Martell, 15, pf South Pickering;

Smith, who had ventured to the edge of the creek in Douglas Ravine to wash off his boots, fell in and was carried a short distance by the fast flowing water into the culvert. A small crowd had gathered at the south end of the culvert after hearing the cries of the boy. No one had taken the initiative to go in and bring him out.

Martell and Hovington’heard there was someone trapped inside the culvert and arrived on the scene at the same time. Without hesitation they waded waist deep in icy water into the culvert and rescued-the

terrified and shivering little boy. Smith had, been sitting for about 20 minutes on a piece of ice while clinging to an iron rod which protruded from the culvert wall.

Pickering Fire Department officials who arrived just as Smith Was being brought out said he (Smith), could not have lasted another ten minutes before succumbing to exposure.

. The incident earned Martell and Hoving- ton each a Civil Recognition Award for bravery from the Town of Pickering. The awards were presented at a council meeting on Mar. 2 by Mayor John Anderson.

’Reading from the award Anderson said the boys, "displayed an, extremely mature attitude and s\vift reaction to a potentially dangerous situation." ’,,; » ,

In ah interview, Martell and Hovington who met each other for the first’time when they rescued the boy, said they did not knovy what motivated them to act

Roy Martell (left) and R. Sean Hovington pose with the Civil Recognition award they received for saving the life of 6 year-old Mark Smith who was trapped in the culvert.

DNA molecules could be laminated

This was never succes- fully accomplished until Paul Berg, a biochemist at Stanford University made his attempt. In conducting his experiment, Berg selected a relatively simple organism with which to work. He chose Simian Virus (SV40), known for its simple gene design and attempted to link it .with a bacterio phage.

In order to achieve this bond. Berg first had to slice open SV40’s single molecule of DNA. He put to work those enzymes and chemicals present in everyday digestion to split SV40.

- Similar chemicals were employed to get into the bac- teriophage’s genes. Still fur- ther chemicals were activated, in an attempt to manufacture a glutinous tab to which the .freshly severed strands .of DNA could be attached.

After a number of futile attemps to create such a sub- stance, Berg and his colleagues proceeded with the task at hand, that of splitting the molecules, and to their amaze- ment they discovered the disected ends of the dual stranded DNA molecule auto- matically presented a single minute tab to which the two spliced DNA molecules could be laminated, thus the birth of DNA recombinantandthe immense interest in developing biotechnological industry.

The Ontario government has a vested interest in the industry, having invested $40 million toward a proposed $100 million installation in Toronto. Labatt’s Breweries Limited and Canada Develop- ment Corporation have offered full financial support of the project. .

. "It’s still very much in the embrionic stages," says Ploeger. No board of governors pas been appointed and there are no firm estimates available on the size of staff needed to

Significant impact on agriculture

Currently micro- organisms are widely used in the production of beer, wine, and cheese, and it is expected new developments in biotech- nology will be a boon to the dairy amd brewery industries.

An area where microbiology and biotechnology will have a significant impact is in the production of food. With the technological information available, technologists have successfully .manufactured a new strain of wheat. Plucking the genes from one wheat type, known for its hardiness and rapid growth, they linked it with another variety, having the desirable attribute of high protein, the result was a strain of wheat, (Marquis) which is of high quality and matures two to three weeks faster than other strains.

According-to Ploeger this is but one example of the great potential biotechnology offers the agricultural industry.

She points out a similar . project is in the works to link the DNAi of a tomato plant with a bean plant Bean plants have the unique ability ot convert nitrogen in the, .air into fertilizer. A tomato plant or any other type for that matter with this element in- herant within could feed itself, decreasing reliance on ex- pensive oil based fertilizers.

Still in the area of agricul- ture, there is further talk of breaking down wood products and developing an edible in- expensive grain on which live- stock could feed.

Given the importance of agriculture in our economy, these new ventures will inevit- ably have a significant impact.

In the area of pharma- ceuticals biotechnology will synthetically produce highly sought after drugs and serums, formerly available only in the natural form.

Interferon, an anti-viral protein, may be the new wonder

drug in combating cancer, but it is in short supply and expensive. Naturally ̂ it is derived from the blood cells of humans, and it is this fact which accounts for ite scarcity. Only a small number of those patients who might benefit from interferon treatment have, received it, and then only in small doses, perhaps too small to be effective.

If the synthetic inter- feron being tested m]the U.S.A. is proven to act in the same manner as the natural stuff and there are no adverse reactions, mass/production v ’

- There is work being carried out in many other areas of drug treatment, including with the human growth hormone,. used in treating dwarfism, and if research continues to go smoothly medicine may at last have an effective ally in combating brain cancer^ .

However, one artificially produced drug, insulin, the body’s protein .used in break- ing down sugar, may be closest to commercial production at a fraction of the price it is now marketed at.

The pharmaceutical in- dustry is already making wide use of biotechnological prod- ucts, valued market price nearly $900 million. .’.

The process described - in producing a hybrid strain of wheat has been employed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural "Resources, to streng- then" Ontario’s forests. De- velopment of specific trees for specific climatic conditions has and will continue to be of enormous importance to the pulp and paper industry. As well,, properly programmed micro-organisms could pro- vide the forestry industry with a supplemental form of income. Through activation of micro-oraganisms, waxes, resins, and oils in the waste bark and leaves could be con- centrated to a point-where they could be profitably extracted and processed.

Gasahol implemented in combustion engines

Mining is yet another potential industrial use for micro- organisms. Again, pro- perly designed organisms could easily, penetrate rock’ layers, and through the process of leaching, (separating rock from ore through the process of perculation) remove the ore deposited within. This process could be of national importance, especially when dealing with the hard to separate water, bitumen, and oil of the Alberta oil sands. Micro-organ- isms could be employed, to separate these elements and make pumping the crude much easier. Not only oil deposits can be recovered in this manner, but also, mining x)f copper, nickel, lead and zinc are now in the potential category.

Taking an optimistic view of such operations the Optario government forecasts that within a year, half of North America’s resources will be extracted using this method.

by Paulette Proulx Chronicle stai’f A 14.8 percent mcrease in both provincial and municipal

government grants for 1981, along with government approval to allocate funds, will enable the Family and Childrens Service ^FCS) of Oshawa to operate more efficiently, said firian Lewis, local director of the FCS of Oshawa, an agency of the Childrens Aid Society which as of January 1981 serves 897 children in Durham Region.

Lewis says this 14.8 percent increase in government grants, up from $2.66 million in 1980 to $3.02 million in 1981, "will enable us to do a number of things that we haven’t been able to do in the past."

Lewis said that in addition to the funding increase, the provincial government, has also helped to increase the FCS efficiency level in terms of service, by allowing the organization to distribute its funds where it deems appropriate’.

Up. until 1980, provincial and municipal grants were allocated to the FCS on a line-by-line, program-by-program < basis. Certain fund increases were made available for specific

^.

programs, yet were withheld if not used accordingly, Lewis said. .

’ , .

The fact the FOS now haa access to and control of its own funds will allow for much more "flexibility in our planning and hopefully do more in the way of providing a better service," Lewis said.

"If we can design programs that will meeta child’s needs within his own home, and therefore hopefully cut down on the number of children we must find foster homes and appropriate. institutions for, then we’re going to save a lot of money in the long run," he said

The FCS of Oshawa plans to provide more in the way of support systems for foster homes by training foster parents and allotting more staff time to foster homes, "and in that Way we can free up more dollars, again to provide a’better service" Lewis said.

The flexibility of the funding at this point "means that we can do the things that we’ve always wanted to do but couldn^t do because the dollars were tied to certain programs," he said.

"We didn’t have that flexibility before," Lewis said. 3

Spot-checks in Durham

Spot-check programs to detect drinking drivers do have advantages, says Inspector Trevor McCagherty of the Durham Regional police department.

At this time, there is no random spot-check program enforced in Oshawa to ap- prehend imparied drivers.

Metro Toronto police were enforcing a spot-check jprdgram called RIDE (Reduce .Impaired Driving Everywhere) until Mr. Justice William Maloney of the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled on Dec. 19 that the program was an inter- ference to drivers. Then Metro police dropped the official name but continued to enforce the program throughout Qinstmas and New Year’s of 198(h.

Mcbagherty say’r he feels that normally thid district already has a "high level of enforcement."

He also said, "It is not ^a|t that a concerted effort is as -good as maintaining it throughout the year."

However, McCagherty added that there is a strict automobile safety enforcement evoked six times a year in the Durham region.

McCagherty says that the Durham Regional police are "not prepared1’ at this time to carry out such a program because "manpower require- ments are too great" to run it successfully.

Tickets for the .athletic banquet are now on sale in the Student Athletic Association office. The tickets are $6 each for the0 April 7 banquet in Zplly’s Forum in the Oshawa Shopping Centre. Dinner and awards, plus dancing will make up the evening. Tickets may be purchased from secretary Jean Hamden or the Student Athletic Association executives.

Teacher gwes first aifl

When Dirk Brusee is not in class, you’ll find him in the First Aid office in the south wing of the second floorl Brusee, Durham College’s business math, personal finance and medical science teacher is also a graduate nurse.

Born in Amsterdam, Hol- land, he immigrated to Canada in 1953 with a Registered

�

Nursing degree and business training. Once here, he attended York University graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree^

Over and above his normal teaching load, Brusee takes care of the First Aid office, room B212. Here patients can have cut fingers bounded or lie down to rest. He stre’ssed that he does not advise the patients to take medication like aspirins or Tyrenol which are available at the office.

When asked how he liked teaching at Durham College, Brusee replied, ’You talk about hobbies. This is one of my hobbies’. -

Biotechnology Continued from page 2

, For the future, fermenta- tion of plants by micro-organ- ism will supply alchohol nece- ssary for use as gasahol, ex- pected to be implemented as fuel for combustion engines. A program of this sort is under way in Brazil and the U.S. government has proposed a $.3 billion loan guarantee pro- gram for gasahol production.

Gasahol will not only cut down on the consumption of experessive non-renewable energy sources but reduce the pollution caused by ex- haust.

Genetically manipulated .bacteria can perform an im- portant function in curbing environmental pollution. Many pollutants such as dioxin, plastics and PCB’s are man- made, meaning they are not biodegradable, because there are no natural organisms .with the capacity to break them down. Tailor designed organisms on the other hand, specially equipped with bodily solvents could digest such degredation, eliminating hazard- ous wastes. In other cases, where pollutants were con- centrated in a confined area^ in the case of an oil spill, fast acting organisms could be employed to rapidly decom- pose the hazard before it caused incorrecteble damage.

A biotechndlogical future does look rosey and Utopian, but it, is still unproven, until major accomplishments .are broughtio the forefrontrsceptics will abound. If it is to be successful, the Toronto plant, when in operation, will have to demonstrate an ability to deliver when necessary, or else the entire project is doomed for mediocrity.

Paste-up and assembly by second year graphic arts students

A powerles s SAC? Power. It is a word with a certain

ominous feeling to it. But it’s obviously a word which the college administration holds near and dear to their hearts.

It’s a slap in the face to everyone attending the college when it’s realized that we aren’t trusted or looked on as reliable individuals.

Power, by the administration and the LLBO,-certamly dilutes opinions and per- sonalities and the students are the victims of these misconstrued thoughts.

Kelly Riley

The iron hand will again reach out on April 8, officially, and encompass another Student Administrative Council chore.

This is due to the recent ruling by the Liquor License Board of Ontario (LLBO) forcing the SAC to get the administration to take over the responsibility of the pubs.

ent priorities mis In this case the administration is not initiating, the takeover of another SAC .duty but Is still winning the battle for power. In 1975 the provincial environment

ministry passed the Environment Assessment Act�an- act which many believed would Jhelp protect them against those who abuse our environment.

The purpose of this Act as stated in the Ontario statute’s "is the betterment of the people of the whole or any part of Ontario by providing for the protection, conservation and wise management in Ontario of the environment."

In other words its purpose was to screen all proposed major projects in. the province except those specifically exempted "in the public interest." ». ’’

However, just before the act came into force in late 1976 the Ontario Cabinet approved a series of Qrders-in-Council exempt- ing hundreds of projects from the act. This in fact means hundreds of projects were exempted from the scrutihization of public hearings, apparently for the sake of "public interest."

Among the projects the environment ministry attempted to have exempted from the Environment Assessment Act hearings, was the proposal to dispose of Ontario’s existing stocks of the chemical herbicide 2,4,5-T.

Despite suggestions that the chemical posed a health threat, in the spring of 1980 Environment Minister Harry Parrott announced a plan to get rid of the stuff by spraying ite

Luckily, public opposition forced Parrott to reverse his decision. .

The environment ministry is also known to have backed private proposals to solidify industrial wastes at, both the Walker Bros. Quarries Ltd. of Thorold, and at the Ridge

However, when it was discovered that Walker Bros. was accepting liquid waste illegally (it was not licensed to do so), and the Ridge Landfill Corp. was allowed to operate with an expired permit and no new environmental hearings, public criticism forced" the ministry to abandon both projects.

A latest exemption to the Assessment Act hearings is the ministry’s proposal that a piece of surplus government land at South Cayuga be used for a much needed waste disposal site.

This particular proposal has stirre.^ up much public criticism, because citizens claim that the dump will take up good^ farmland and is too close to inhabited areas and drinking water sources. However, the ministry intends to go ahead with their plans since a full public hearing, they believe, would only tend to delay the $60-million project.

Heavy criticism, however, suggests that^for the sake of public interest public hearings should have been held before these projects were undertaken.Since the act was heralded, only one waterfront park in Etobicoke has passed through the whole assessment process. To date, the only other projects at the hearings stage are a proposed hydro generating plant and a water management scheme.

" hi light of the record one tends to wonder, is the Assessment Act really worth the paper it’s printed on? blame for this particular acts substantial uselessness lies not with the environment minister Parrott himself, but with the envi- ronment ministry as a whole.

As a government agency, the ministry is responsible for drawing up policies which supposedly serve the people’s best interests,

Responsibility is feared by many people but the SAC usually handles it with the highest standards and capabilities. It is unfortunate that this is the way the LLBO has rewarded them for their responsible attitude.

There have" been other takeovers as well. At one time students entering Ale college would have to pay an activity fee

�

of $35. This money would go to the SAC and SAA jointly.

Then one year the fee went up to $45 and the money was divided between the SAC, SAA and the sports complex. The name changed, as well, to a registration fee with the money controlled by the administration.

Although the SAC makes out its budget, it still has to have approval from the administration. Now there is a threat. of absolute financial control as the admin- istration has warned that any attempts to change the present system would result in a loss of any small power the SAC has.

As the SAC finances are about to be totally controlled by the administration, it may seem to be a nice "checks and balances" system but the administration is not voted in by the students to control how and why OlJR money is spent, the .SAC is.

If the SAC continues to lose control then a definite autonomy will develop. The administration will have so much power that students will not have any recourse if they feel they’ve been wronged. Who can they turn to with a powerless SAC? ____ _:�; LanHU Corp. Ltd. site in Harwich Township, and only it holds the amending power with

Ontario Premier Bill Davis’ blunderous statements concerning equal rates of pay should ring loud in all ears of the vast majority of the public who work for a living.

In an interview with OFTO television on March 15, Davis said that there would be little hope of a guarantee of equal-pay- for-equal-work.

. Does Davis mean that he will not even attempt to entrench these rights? Furthermore, how can Davis even say such things unless he is planning to do. nothing more to enforce these rights?

Davis stressed that in the past, the Tory government had legislated equal- pay-for-equal-workforw^men and that as far as the provmcial government was concerned, this problem was entirely solved.’ .

However, the Tories should not be satisfied with this small particle of pro- gress.

D.avis said that he had debated this issue with his wife, Kathleen, and they had concluded that this problem is not a simple one. Assuming the other Tories agree with Bill and Kathleen, complexity of an issue should never prevent or even

" hinder an effort to an eventual solution. We should not allow Davis to think

that he has done all he can to make law " this principle. Legislation is simply, not good enough. Entrenchment can only help and in no way harm the working public.

Society has advanced scientifically, technologically and in other wpys, but Davis and his Conservatives cannot truly admit they are doing all they can for a successful progression.

Let us hope that Davis’ kitchen debates do not rule the province.

Band waits to Crimes of Passion, a. Toronto-base^

rock and roll band, are typical of any bar group on the surface but are different.

Like many bands, they are focusing in �

on well-known material. However, they have original tunes and are patiently waiting for he right time to introduce them.

Brian Coboume, guitarist of Crimes of Passion, says, "We are recording a lot of original material right now but we’re not ,

doing it on stage yet. We’re waiting until we have a distinct direction clarified; until we pinpoint exactly the image we want to present More important, we want to promote the actual album when it comes out."

Cutting an album is the band’s main focus right now. They’ve been in the studio for the past five months and will stay as long as necessary.

Cobourne says, "We’re aiming to put an album on the market in eight months, We’ve given ourselves a lot of time, to perfect everything."

The band has at least an hour’s worth of material which can’t be used on the album. They are carefully sorting out the tunes to determine the most outstanding ones.

For every major copy song they now pla^, there is an original tune along the same line. ’Cobourne says since the non-original songs are popular, they can’t go wrong with similar styles. "One has to make a living and meet the demands of the music market," he says. ;

Coboume and Michael MacDonald, the keyboard player, have been partners for six years. They write both the lyrics and music. Although Coboume has some musical theory behind him and MacDonald has an impressive repertoire of conservatory training, they only use theory when necessary.

"A lot of what we do is by ear. l^ost of the time we just play what we feel; that’s what rock and roll is. However, for vocal and instrumental harmonies .and arranging, knowing the theory behind music is handy. And it’s important that we’re capable of this," says Coboume. -

Crimes of Passion have been together for ten months and there has been one replacement and one addition to the band: The original drummer was replaced by Tom Graham a month ago. The vocalist, Ronna Vee, temporarily quit the group Wd was replaced by Sue Baker. When Vee rejoined the band, her replacement carried on as a permanent member,

Chris Sequiera is the bass guitarist. The two female singers also play guitar

but are now concentrating on perfecting their vocals and stage show. Coboume says, "We haven’t worked it in on stage yet. It’s a matter of taking our time. The girls, have a lot to handle vocally and visually so we’re trying to get that area down first."

Crimes of Passion thoroughly enjoy playing close to home, which includes the Toronto to Oshawa area. Main St. in Oshawa

has featured the band three times and will again in a couple of months.

’Coboume says rock and roll is a hard business to get into but not ,to the degree that most people think. He says you’ve got to treat it like a business and pursue your talent to its full potential to become famous.

Being with the same people all the time presents an unavoidable problem for some bands, but the members of Crimes of^Passion enjoy one another’s company. Coboume says, ’We get along great, both socially and musically. We’ll be together for a long time and I’m confident we’ll make it."

also a stripper, convinced him to enter an amateur contest which he won. He discovered exotic dancing lent itself to excellent wages and became professional in July 1980.

He says, "I’ll be stripping for only six months or a year longer. I do have a full-time job in a food business which I want to concentrate on. Even though I accept myself, I can’t do it forever. I just don’t enjoy it."

Many of his friends do not accept his new lifestyle. "They thought it was degrading. You have to go and watch the actual entertain- ment to really get the value out of it. My friends couldn’t accept it because they were too afraid to come and watch it," says Deveaux.

However; Deveaux’s parents relish the fact that their children took up such an occupation. "My sister and I never had any problems from our parents. They simply accept anything we choose to dp."

In the beginning, Deveaux was nervous stripping in front of an audience but was never embarassed. Now he is completely comfortable during his act. "After the first couple of times you get used to it," he says. "It really seems natural and not obscene after a while."

"It is illegal for exotic dancers in the Durham Region and Toronto area to completely undress. "If you take it all off, you can get arrestv �1. 1 try to find waya to give the ladies what they want to see yet not take it all off. You can wear different costumes different ways. You can wear little socks over it and it’s like seeing but it’s not."

Deveaux dislikes strippers who are too obscene. He says a dancer can be just as entertaining without being gross or vulgar.

A prime example of the entertainment value of stripping is Deveaux’s candyman act. He dons a white and red striped tuxedo with tails, top hat and a cane, all of which will peel off in pieces, "The ladies enjoy pulling these off." he says. "Underneath, it’s going

Even though the number is increasing, there are not many male strippers around. Deveaux says, "It has only become popular in the last few years. Women strippers have W BmffO fefttUred been around for so long that there’s just too °

in Durham West riding by Anne Halladay Chronicle Staff

Progressive Conservative George Ashe won a landslide .victory in the riding of

Durham West over liberal candidate Norman WeiandNewDeaixxraticcandidateHughPeaaxkat the March 19 Provincial election.

. The newly re-elected member of the Legislature easily won by a 10,000 vote margin.

Ashe said he would be disappointed if he doesn’t receive a cabinet post in the legislature. <<! feel I’ve earned my fare so to speak. I’ve been in several ministries and worked with several ministers in the last number of years and I think I’ve fulfilled the duties given to me by Premier Davis in a

’ responsible fashion. I think I’ve served reasonably well in the past four years so I

� would be honored and privileged to be invited to the new Davis cabinet."

Ashe was pleased ’at the majority in Durham West. "I don’t think there has been a majority in this area for a long time and I think this rewards all the efforts of the people who worked on my behalf."

He also said that the fact that the . Liberal and New Democratic candidates were new to the area "literally finding their way to the Go Station" influenced voters.

"How could they know the feelings and aspirations and problems and goals of the

people in Durham West. I’ve been here 14 years and I’m still learning."

When the Legislating resumes some of the priorities Ashe will deal with are the re- opening of the second floor of the Dr. Joseph O." Ruddy hospital in Whitby, moving the chronic care patients out of the Ajax- Pickering hospital, to further follow through on the interchanges that are planned for the area, to "get the-sod turned" for the new liquor control board warehouse and to keep on top of the whole program for the new building of Whitby Pa|ftchiatric hospital.

Ashe predicts thipGo service will be going out to Qshawa, although it will’be mid 1980 before it will physically happen.

He also said that planning is already in the works for the south parking lot at Pickering Go station. The station will be further expanded another 300 spots. Stations along the way including the waiting areas in Whitby will be upgraded as well.

Liberal candidate Norman Wei was disappointed by his loss in Durham West. "I thought we put up a good fight and would do much better." Wei said he was happy people made their democratrc choice and there was no hard feelings. "We fought a good clean fight."

Final results showed George Ashe with 17,034 votes Norman Wei 7,472, Hugh Peacock 6,512 arid Bill Leslie with 1,262.

"oters of the Oshawa riding turned out to cast their .vote that re-elected New Democratic incumbent Mike Breaugh to Queen’s Park for another four-year lerm.

Breaugh, who had 2,000 more votes than Progressive Conservative candidate Bob Boychyn, was happy about his expected re- election win, but was disappointed with the critical loss of NDP seats province-wide.

"I believe that in strategic political terms, we have been outfoxed on a number of issues," he said.

Breaugh referred to Bill Davis and the Tory government as the "blue machine"

that outhustled them "in full flight". . "The difference between them and us

is simply money." he said. pointing but that Davis’ advertising campaign was comprised of $3 million jingles.

Breaugh said that the loss of NDP seats could not be totally attributed to New Democratic leader Michael Cassidy.

Breaugh said that in times of economic instability, it is traditional for voters to ’ choose the status quo. "

rf > ’

"They’re not prepared to gamble and I think that is. what happened.

"The party would be making a serious error if it decided now to take it all out on ! Cassidy, It is hot all Cassidy’s fault by a long shot," he said.

Breaugh said he feels that the Nt)P party instead should review their strategy, policy and leadership.

Breaugh attributed poor voter turnout to weather conditions and the fact that there had been five elections in the same number of years. .�

"Our people are tired. The thrill is gone. The bloom- is off the rose," he said;

Progressive Conservative Candidate Bob Boychyn, although dissatisfied with his second place loss in the Oshawa riding, claimed he would re-enter the election race another time.

Two time Liberal candidate Ivan Wallace was dissappointed with his third place standing at the polls.

"If I can’t take this party out of third place by running a second time, I’ll have to take a serious look at my position in the party and in this riding," he said.

Wallace added, "It is not very likely that Ivan Wallace will run for the Liberals’ in the Oshawa riding a^ain."

However, he said he was pleased with ^ft substantial difference in the number of seate (13 seat dffioenoe) between the Ubante and : the New Democratic party.

"This is a victory for the party, all candidates and our workers/’ said Davis, "it is a great team effort." Davis was surrounded by his family as he promised his constituents responsible representatiipn, like that which he has given them for the last 22 years as, their provincial legislative repre- sentative.

Davis stressed that he is Canadian above all else and he will always look at the whole of Canada before anything else. He also said that he will look at all the people of Ontario before he does something for a few. "We need (and have) courage and confidence," said Davis, and then we can deal with any issue in Canada and Ontario. ,

"People of Ontario agree with the assertion,’’ said Davis that Canada comes first, and they showed this support at the polls.

The Conservative victory was not just on a large scale, Ontario, but also in the Durham region, as two of the three ridings were won by Tories. All of the incumbent MP’s were returned as Mike Breaugh, NDP, won in the Oshawa riding> Sam Cureatz, PC, in Durham East, and George Ashe, PC, in Durham East:

Ashe and Cureatz won by great majorities and Breaugh received a small battle by opponent Bob Boychyn, PC.

According to Ashe, the thought among his people and

himself was that their greatest opponent would be Hugh Peacock, the NDP candidate but instead it was Norman Wei.^ the Liberal candidate. He also predicted that the Go transit would be extended by the mid- 1980’s.

The province-wide endorsement of Bill Davis and the Conservatives echoed in the riding of Durham East as incumbent Tory Sam Cureatz won a resounding-Victory.

His margin of victory, over 6,000 votes was a far cry from the squeaker he pulled out in the 1977 provincial election when he defeated New Democrat Doug Moffat by just over 100 votes.

/ Wins by over

6,000 votes Trailing Cureatz at the polls were New

Democrat Bruce McArthur, who took second place with 8,476 votes and Liberal candidate Jim Potticary, finishing third with 7,194 votes. Social Credit candidate JeffHubbell occupied fourth and last place with 259 votes. ’

As soon as the first polls had reported, the trend had been established. It was clearly evident to Cureatz supporters that the Conservatives had a definite win under

their belts. The question on everyone’s mind was how big the margin would be. As it turned out, both McArthur and Potticary found themselves in Cureatz’s back pocket by 8 p.m. .

With victory secure, the talk at campaign headquarters was the possibility of Cureatz getting the nod for a coveted cabinet post.

When confronted -with the question, Cureatz made it known he was well aware of

this likelihood. "We’ll leave-that up to the Premier," said Cureatz. "But the first step is to let it be known that you’re interested."

But Cureatz’s supporters remained adamant in their optimism. "Oh, he’s bound to get a plum this time around," said one enthusiastic’supporter. "With the results tonight, he s showed (Bill) Davis he’s got a firm grasp on this riding."

’ The entrance at 8:05 p.m. of a smiling Sam Cureatz brought a jubilant round of applause from the approximately 50 sup- porters, but it wasn’t the kind of ovation one would expect after such a clear-cut victory.

For all intense purposes, Cureatz was declared elected at 8 p.m., holding on to a convincing 1,500 vote margin to which one supporter proclaimed,"It’s all over."

, /

Whispers of a cabinet post were heard from then on, and it was evident that Cureatz had heard these same whispers. He said Premier Davis Was almost obligated because the region between Metro and Kingston had been without a cabinet minister since the resignation of Bill Newman in ’70 who held the ridi<tof Durham-York. ’

A Conservative supporter (left) congratulates Sam Cureatz on his victory Thursday night

Cureatz attributed his overwhelming victory to the continuation of grass roots politics, serving all his constituents, no matter what political party they supported.

� "That means anybody, that’s the key." remarked Cureatz.,

In comparing his victory in ’81 to the previous election in ’77, Gureatz said he thought he held on to his vote in Oshawa and picked up support in the rural area.

"I think people have appreciated his (Bill Davis) leadership," said Cureatz when asked to comment on the support Ontario had shown the Conservatives, in the form of 70 seats, giving Davis his much sought after majority.

What maxes it even more gratifying is that we beat two high profile candidates from Oshawa in Jim Potticary and Bruce McArtNir," said Zakarow.

/Before heading off to the Acres Restaurant near Hampton for the victory celebration, Cureatz sai^ "1 think we got it."

Despite predictions of a close race in Durham East, Conservative incumbent Sam Cureatz won going away. Bruce McArthur accepted defeat gracefully.

During his speech, in which he thanked all who were involved in the Campaign, McArthur refused to die, saying that there will be a next time.

jdcArthur and Oshawa NDP incumbent Mike Breaugh held their "victory party" at the Local 222 Union Hall in Oshawa.

McArthur urged the party to stay to- gether and remain strong.

Both he and Breaugh said that winter elections were very hard for the NDP because they concentrated time on canvassing and meeting the general public.

McArthur has not made plans for the ftiture but he is still a member of Regional Council.

McArthur said he hoped that Premier Bill Davis js able to keep his promise to the province of Ontario.

He concluded by telling his campaign volunteers that they were magnificent.

Bob Hedley, design arts department head, plays an active role in coaching and training at the Huron Hockey School.

Hedley has been involved in the pro- gram for four years and has seen the likes of Steve Shutt, Mario Tremblay and Doug Riseborough come to the clinic for an intense week of skating development, on/off ice training and conditioning. Hedley estimates 30-35 professional hockey players make use of the ̂ school in preparation for training camp in September.

The, Huron Hockey School has been in operation for twelve years establishing an excellent reputation, expanding from a single program to fourteen locations in Canada and the United States.

The reason for its emmense success, says Hedley, is the quality of instructors.

There are coaches from the pro ranks, college and junior league teams on staff at the facilities. *

The school specializes in skating, demon- strating to students, through the use of video tapes and slow motion, the areas in which they need improvement and why they are encountering certain difficulties.

The basic objective of the program, says Hedley, is to have every student under- and the principals which will allow ̂ him to become an better skater.

The school doesn’t cater soley to the pros. There is also a minor hockey program designed fo)\plflyers 6 to 14 years old, a junior level/college session for players 15-19 and a specialized program for gbaltenders.

Each program is run for a week long period/during various sessions from July to the end of August.

Leading scorer for the Lords this season, which also ed a number of exhibition mat- ches, was Scott Buchanan, edging Barry Brazier by a single point.

. be elected, a contestant must receive at least 50 per cent of the votes cast."

The SAA election last week sparked more interest among the student body than the SAC elections a week earlier.

A total of 487 ballots were cast in the SAA elections compared to 427 in the SAC election. Unconcern for athletic events has been prevalent in recent years but this year, approximately 35 per cent of the student body exercised their voting privilege.

"The work everyone put into it was the reason for the success," says acclaimed pres- ident Matt Simmons, referring to the number of posters put up around the school in recent weeks.

"The candidates had a lot to do with it (the turnout)," says Simmons.

Carole Brown, first year business administration, de- feated fellow business stu- dent Dino Azzano in the battle for the position of vice-pres- ident.

Due to ̂ three-way battle

Since none of the can- didates received a majority of the votes cast, the candidate receiving the least amout of support in the ballot tally had to concede. This meant Nancy Ward had to bow out of the race, leaving John Smegal and Lisa Welch to contest the position of treasurer.

Although Welch was the apparent winner after Monday’s vote, Smegal was the eventual winner at the conclusion of Tuesday’s re-vote.
