Kiss off to the 1970*s
by Don Breen As the 1970’s are quickly coming to an end; there has been many interesting developments and things happened throughout the world. Conestoga College had memorable moments over the past ten years. It’s impossible in one paper to list who was at each pub. what the DSA/COR was doing, and if the Condors were on top or on the bottom. Let’s take a look at some of .the major events which took place here. 1970
Over the past years many newspapers have tried to appear on campus, made a brief appearance. had their editors appear before the student council, and eventually die. 1970 was no different, the student council Council of Repre-
sentatives,
(COR) was
fighting against the
Journalism department of the college. Apparently the Journalism department was putting out their own newspaper called Innterobang and passing it out around the college. Neither student council nor Spoke liked this, biit the journalists claimed what they submitted to Spoke was uncensored. Stealing was taking place heavily, and the COR had to increase the night-time guards to five. Meanwhile scandals such as the resignation of Ann Redwocd, head librarian, and .M Rimmer, chairman of the library committee was going on. The winter carnival of 1970 was claimed as
the best one the college had. Chuck Berry played at their special pub evening. As the year went on many problems continue with Spoke, and the student council was not satisfied with their uncensored paper. There was also garbage all over the student lounge t similar to 1979). 1971
Up until now pubs were held at the Bridgeport Casino but in Oct. of 71 the college had its license suspended because the college violated laws under the licensing act. Before they broke the law the charge of getting into the pub was 75 cents. In an article “Who Cares” one of the major issues in the school was if anyone cared if the cafeteria had a toaster. Believe it or not many people wanted a toaster and responded to this
question.
Debate was taking place: if the jukebox should be removed or not from the student lounge.
Students wanted to participate in the evaluahow they were doing, in “Student participation in faculty evaluation: the student potion of
sition” (Dec. 71). This was the first year pubs were held on campus after getting their license back. 1972 In 1972 one of the biggest high-lites of the year
was crowning of the Sno-Queen. As early as this year, there was
talk about having a type of Sports Complex. It would be a and courts, badminton over the large bubble people would also be able to do various sports in it.
Fighting was going on in the school between the journalism department and the photography students. At the time both occupied the fourth level, but the area, especially the darkroom, was too small for all the students. Journalists eventually left; to be located in the portables. '

1975 when the communists took over South Vietnam. Lam Son Khunh, a 29 year old engineer and his wife Trang are two of thousands of Vietnamese refugees who have recently immigrated to Canada. Christmas before 1975 was a
time when everyone was very happy, said Khunh in a method of communication which combines written English acquired from work vrith the Americans during the war, and a surprising number of words picked up in one month of English lessons. After 1975, December 25, like all other days was a day of work, said Khunh eager to portray the hardships of life under Communist rule. There were no li^ts, no presents, no celebration. Only Catho-
meland.
Working 12 hours each day, seven days a week under the communist rule, Khunh made $25 each month. You must work every day even if you are sick, said Khunh who adds that each night they were forced to attend a communist meeting, and no one was allowed on the streets after that. Many goods formerly readily available to the Vietnamese could only be purchased on the black market. A pair of pants cost $500, a bottle of beer $12, a pound of sugar cost $20, two gallons of gas could be purchased for $25. -one

Finally the refugees were camp in Thailand for four months. In late October, Khunh and Trang immigrated to Canada. The couple’s house in Canada is 'sufficient' by Canadian standards. It is a small frame dwelling furnished with items donated by a local church: oddly covered chairs surround the old chrome kitchen table, chipped grey paint adorns the wooded banister which leads the second floor.

There was no such thing as Santa Claus in Vietnam, but Christmas trees and decorations were common. Kuhn remembers seeing one decorated tree that was 30 metres high.

This sounds like a long way off, but to raise a substantial amount of money by then, we should start thinking about it pronto. We already have a head start with that $200 cheque from Bill Nippel. The Board qf Directors has decided to put our popcorn machine to good use one day a week in the next term. The popcorn will be sold exactly as it is at pubs, for 25c, in the cafeteria during lunch hours. The popcorn, butter and oil will be supplied by the DSA, and volunteers will be manning the machine. As well as the profits from these weekly popcorn sales, the money made from the popcorn sales on pub nights will also be donated to the Cancer Fund. Volunteers are needed to sell these nutricious popped kernels, and any other ideas for generating money for this worthy cause will be duly considered. Most of our pubs next term will be held offcampus at the Waterloo Motor Inn. Some will be in conjunction with the University of Waterloo.

The publicity release that came with Amii Stewart’s new album, Paradise Bird, said, "... Amii has changed with the times..., this is not another disco album, this is Amii Stewart.’’ Assuming this is true, the record company has changed the name disco, into something else, without telling anyone. In short, the album sounds surprisingly like the same old disco garbage.

recognizable, a flood of thoughts rushed over me. I felt exhilarated, gratified, nostalgic. At the same time there was a tinge of disbelief, and a bit of concern. I guess each of those feelings was traceable to the fact that all of us had waited so long for this to happen. It was difficult after so many false starts over a number of years to realize “Star Trek” was really back, as a dazzling
space adventure in “Star Trek The Motion Picture." I remember at one point giving a party at my home for the cast and production staff, to celebrate the impending start of a new “Star Trek" TV series. Plans for it were cancelled the day after my party.

Kirk has meant so much to me, been such an influence on my life as well as

career.
Strangely, and I’ve often been asked this. I've never felt “typed” by him. Instead, I’ve been busy in a variety of roles and characterizations during the past ten years, both in films and on the stage. There is no question, however, that Kirk has opened up many opportunities for me. The character was an invention, but I'd say there’s a large part of me in Kirk. I’ve always played the role as I thought I'd do if I really were the skipper of the Enterprise.
In “Star Trek - The Motion Picture." we’ve had time to mature and develop further his character. I believe audiences will f ini him. as I did, a more complicated man. with more drive than before. Curiously, even at the most frustrating moments of the past decade, I always felt 1 had not seen the last of Captain Kirk. Sometime, somehow, we’d get together again and he would continue to play an important part in my life. I'm glad it finally has turned out that way. It makes the long wait
worthwhile.

Webster was worth the money. Last season Seattle won the N.B.A. title, while Webster had a dismal season arid was traded by New York. Pro-basketball was also the first sport to have a player receive a contract valued at 1 million dollars. Moses Malone, a center who did not go to college was the first athlete to receive such a contract. Malone led the league in rebounding, and was a formidable scorer. The Houston Rockets decided to pay Malone the money. If we are to* believe that there were negotiations involved, it .leaves you to ponder on the contract Malone originally wanted.
The most lucrative contract ever given to a rookie was given to Larry Bird of Indiana State. Bird led Indiana State to the N.C.C.A. finals. Bird was also the most sought after player in college basketball.
Bird’s ageit originally tossed figures around of 1 million dollars for Larry Bird. He received a six year contract worth 3.6 million dollars.

SAN FRANCISCO (ZNS) - Laid-back sex may not be as exciting as it's cracked up to be, according to a U.S. university researcher. Sex therapist John Wincze decided to test the widely held belief that sexual relations without anxieties and worries are the most enjoyable. In his tests Wincze compared the reactions of two different groups of volunteers to a sexually arousing film. One group was first shown an anxietyproducing movie - such as ap Alfred Hitchcock thriller or a videotape of a violent automobile accident - before watching the erotic movie. The second group was only
