Editorial
20th century history When the history of the 20th century has been written, it is hoped that our historians treat politicians in the manner they deserve. There have been so many examples of thoughtlessness and lack of foresight that this century should go down in history as one of the most disgraceful since Jacques Cartier first travelled up the St. Lawrence River to face awaiting Indians. There has been the thalidomide episode which saw hundreds of babies born without hands or arms as one example that enriched only the drug companies. This same example caused the loss of faith in the medical profession and researchers at large. Now, the side effects of the birth control pill have emerged, as research continues. This same research that should have been done before this product was allowed on the market. Presently, there is the urea foam formaldehyde insulation, highly touted by the federal government, and even subsidized by that same government. People in good faith laid out hundreds or even thousands of dollars to insulate their homes, and now find they can not live in them. It is not surprising that many home owners have banded together to form protest groups to press this case for government help in removing this dangerous material, which they had installed in good faith. It has been estimated that more than 100,000 Canadian homes were so insulated. Now, many of the 100,000 homes are said to be dangerous, because of fumes. This is a situation which is believed will worsen when winter again arrives and doors and windows are closed. There are complaints of headaches and respiratory problems. Add to this a new problem. Many of the people
who
insulated their
homes with
urea-formaldehyde applied for and received CHIP grants of $500, and now learn that if the insulation was improperly installed, they are liable to reimburse the Canadian Home Insulation for the grants received. Now that is really a straw capable of breaking a camel’s

back. insulation was banned back in December of 1980, by the federal government, after studies showed the instability of the foam led to emission of formaldehyde gas, which poses a health hazard, and in addition could cause structural damage to the building. Now, to my mind at least, winter is an absolutely ridiculous time to find out that your home is a health hazard. Even with the efforts to remove the insulation, all is not resolved. Removal is tedious and often completely irritating. Why then, was this potential danger not ascertained before it was let loose on an unsuspecting population? Where was the National Research Council? The federal government cannot erase this episode from history. Some measure of responsibility must be shouldered. It is high time that bureaucrats and politicians used some foresight when it comes to programs that they endorse. Some skeptic should be saying “what if?’’ Looking into the future is not just for fortune tellers, it is the job of the men who make history.

pubs is the fast arrival of Friday mornings (mournings). There’s nothing I dread more than attempting to drag myself out of bed after an El Condor pub night. Those Friday mornings are hell. The buzzer on my clock-radio announces that it’s time to spring out of bed and defeat my horrible hangover. Blurred vision, sever stomach cramps, slurred speech and a burning desire for a glass of water, are the usual side effects closely linked with the
heavy consumption of alcohol. It never fails when I’m extremely hungover, I always ask myself; Why do I feel so sick? The answer always comes back to slap me in the face. Drink in moderation. yes, now I remember. table was Everyone at

Whether the NTA will be a positive step or not, according to Hagar, depends on the role colleges play in it. “Colleges can provide a useful service in the design of learning as well as delivery,” he said. But what real effect, if any, the NTA will have on tomorrow’s high technological world remains to be seen.

College grads get credits from Ontario universities by Audrey Miller Norman
Williams, head of Ontario’s Council of Regents, told the 1982 Ontario PC General meeting that Ontario’s Colleges of Applied Arts and
Technology (CAATS) have an objective to be vocational and job-oriented.
For this reason, the province does not give credit to students who have attended CAAT and want to attend university. CAAT credit is only granted by universities who have arrangements with CAATS in their communities. The only other way of obtaining credits towards a university education is through submission of your official transcripts from high school and colleges which you have attended.
Transcripts once submitted are scanned by officials of the university of which you seek
admission
to.
The transcripts
are dealt with on an individual basis according to the courses you have received credits in and, according to the program of which you are hoping to be accepted in to, then cross credits may be given. It seems like a relatively simple process but there are a few stumbling blocks that may complicate the situation. Mary Brown, (a ficticious name) 19, applied to a univer-
sity after her second year of college. Brown, applied to the university with the intent to

Two weeks

Brown
re-
ceived a formal letter from the university stating that upgrading was required and then her file would be re-evaluated for admission. Brown did not wish any cross credits. The purpose of her application was to get her BA before she was 25. “I didn’t want the university me for previous to credit courses. I just wanted to be accepted into the night school
program for my BA. It’s not like I wanted to be on campus,” said Brown. When asked what she intended to do, Brown said, “I wrote the university a formal letter inquiring as to the type of upgrading that was requesting before admission would be

Community college students have been very successful in not only being accepted into universities but also in receiving cross credits. The thing to remember is that all of these students are accepted into a university on an individual basis. If you are thinking about applying to a university, review your transcripts first.

In 1976, Sony went public with the introduction of Betamax, an even more compact, half-inch tape system modeled after its U-Matic machines but designed for
home
use.
Sony licensed its systems to other manufacturers such as Sanyo and Zenith and even produced the inner working of machines for other companies to issue under their brand names. Competition for the consumer dollar intensified as manufacturers started offering various improvements: multiple-timing capability, which allowed a viewer to present his machine for as much as two weeks; stop motion, reverse action, and visible fast forward; and most significantly, longer tape capacity, expanding the maximum from Sony’s initial one-hour format to as many as six hours of programming. By 1980, the overwhelming popularity of home video became evident. Every studio had made some kind of commitment to home video and it was no longer possible to ignore its great profit potential.
Television is, of course, a tremendous source of free movies for the video owner, but statistics show that many people are not satisfied with the scope of movies that they can tape at minimal cost from their television want to, sets. They want to see certain films when they not when television lets them. And they want the latest films, before they’re available on television. This has created a demand for prerecorded video-cassettes exceeding the wildest expectations of Hollywood’s major studios.

Schnitzing is a method of preserving most types of fruit and vegetables. According to Don Spencer, one of the guides employed by the Schneider Haus, apples were chosen for the demonstration because, “they were the most common crop that was preserved in this
manner.” The process
of schnitzing involves four stages. First the

This

done with the aid of a peeling device consisting of a spindle on which the apple is impaled and rotated and a blade which scrapes off a thin layer of skin. The peelers are remarkably fast. The process takes about 20 seconds. Schneider Haus curator Susan Burke said, “this was done by several

Rod’s Report on Sports
Controversy hits
Expos roster by Rod
by Reg Watson
Hilts
If the Montreal Expos expect to have any chance of capturing the National League Pennant, they’d better start playing like a contender instead of a bunch of discontented cry babies. The Expos (Four games out of first when this column was written) have their backs against the
League schedule winding down. The season-long controversy between Manager Jim Fanning and the Expos roster is coming to a head, at a most in opportune time in the
wall, with the National
season. It surprises me that through all of this controversy, that the team still has a shot at the pennant. Last year at this time, the Expos hit a slump, which resulted in the firing of skipper Dick Williams. Today, almost 200 games later, Manager Jim Fannings’ tail is on the line again for the team’s inconsistency. The question in my mind is, how much of the blame should be placed on the shoulder’s of the manager? It’s funny when you consider that a year ago, in the heat of a pennant drive, the Expos thought of Fanning as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Today, because of the team’s inconsistent play, Fannings is thought of as dog-dirt. The big complaint from Expo personnel is that Fanning is indecisive. The man has only managed at a Major League level for a year, he’s not God. Sure his inexperience is going to cause a few problems, the Expos’ owners knew that when they hired him. Personally I think it’s rather degrading to have a team cut up their manager through the press. Jim Fanning has done so much for the Expos’ franchise. He has been involved with the club for a number of year’s, serving as one of the team’s main scouts. Do you believe some of the quotes the Montreal player’s are feeding the press? A1 Oliver has the gall to be quoted as saying, “I almost feel sorry for Jim Fanning. I think he’s too good a fellow, really to be a manager.” What is that supposed to mean; that to be a manager, you must chew nails and drink excessive amounts of gasoline? This is not the proper time in the
schedule to be worrying about such nonsense. Save the crying towels for the end of the season; which may come sooner than anticipated if the team doesn’t shape-up. The 1982 version of the Montreal Expos definitely have the talent to go all the way. In my opinion they have the best pitcher in the league in Steve Rogers. This season Rogers is sporting the best earned run average in the National and is second in the league in victories, with 17 to his credit. They have the league’s best hitter in A1 Oliver, who has a .339 average. Catcher Gary Carter is having another banner season, batting .301, with 29 home runs. Andre Dawson is having is usual stellar season in the centre field position. Dawson is batting .295 and his good arm in the field is one of the best defensive weapons that the Expos possess. Tim Raines is having a good season and although his stolen base numbers aren’t as high at last season, he is still a threat on the base paths. If you were to look at statistics alone, you’d be sure that the Expos would be in first place. Controversy has taken its toll on the club. It has to be a chore trying to concentrate on the opposition, when the team’s biggest concern seems to be the lynching of Manager Jim Fanning. Is it any wonder that the man had to be hospitalized because of a severe migraine headache? If I was the

Soccer Captain DaSilva plays with sportsmanship Tony DaSilva is not your average jock. In fact, at first glance you probably would not imagine that this lean, darkhaired man is the on and off field leader of the Conestoga Condor’s soccer team. After learning that DaSilva was once the Junior Canadian Wrestling Champion in his weight division, and that he has competed three times at the

level,
any
doubt about him will vanish. His interest in sports is intense. “I love to participate in and watch sports of any kind,” said DaSilva.
DaSilva has an equally intense interest in college life and a general zeal for living. He is a second year businessadministration student and is also the Co-ed Co-ordinator for intramural activities here at Doon Campus. When asked
which of his interests is most important to him, DaSilva said, “All of them. I try to enjoy life, have a good time and do a little bit of everything.”

In the touch football league we have a three way tie for first place.

However, the intramural committee has one problem. “To keep things running smoothly we will need more officials,” says Hewson. “Anyone knowledgeable about sports would help us out alot.” Men’s touch football started on Sept. 13, after one week of play the standings are:
