Joseph Martin, president of Conestoga College, announced that changes will be made in the operations of the college in a memorandum sent out to employees on Oct. 6. Although specifics for the forthcoming changes were not given, the memo included a letter from Ontario’s Minister of Colleges and Universities, Dr. Bette Stephenson which provides guidelines for the

administrative shifts. In the letter Stephenson announced that all 22 of the province’s community col-

Pension cuts inhuman by

lldiko Virag

The possibility of old-age pension cutbacks is not only inhuman and unjust, but bad politics as well. In spite of the fact that the entire country is in a state of economic recession (excluding a select few who belong to that privileged social stratum which is immune to economic dalliances) the old age pension cut backs aren’t justified. Is that how the Canadian government intends to save the country from the recession (depression?). A pensioner has paid taxes all his working life and still does. Now that he can no longer work, isn’t he entitled to make a reasonable living? Talking about cuts, why shouldn’t the

things that a government is elected to do. Not that government officials are idle these days. They are still burdened with the task of explaining to the public, and of course the ever-vigilant press, what, if anything, they are up to. This requires a great deal of bureaucracy and the setting up of three times as many committees as it would take to solve the problems they are trying to avoid. Now the average Canadian, trusting soul that he is, is reluctant to believe that most of these

committees are wasting the taxpayers time and money. Well his faith would likely be shaken if he looked into the activities of a few of them.

Youthstream, the campus newspaper advertising network, recently announced that it is in serious financial trouble and may fold. They do not deserve any sympathy, as they created the problem. What they do is simple. The network gets ads from national companies and the Government of Canada and distributes them to various papers. It is pretty straight forward work, until you bring in shoddy business procedures. The company promises that ads will arrive at the papers’ office at least a week ahead of time. This is little more than a joke. Ads arrive a day or two prior to piecing the paper together, making it necessary to phone Toronto to get sizes and instructions to make lay out possible. In one instance, for the issue of Sept. 27, Spoke received insertion instructions over the phone for a % page ad. It never arrived. This created a large hole in the paper which was filled by copy for which Spoke received no revenue. Combine incidents like this with people never being in when you need information, then you have an unsatisfied customer.

seventies, voluntary childlessness has begun to emerge as an alternative to conventional

marriage. At present in Canada and the United States deliberate childlessness is estimated to characterize at least five to seven per cent of all couples. In the future it is estimated that one couple in 10 might reject parenthood, The social pressure associated with childlessness is great. Many feel a desire for childlessness is a flouting of religious authority and that not being a parent is immoral. Society feels the couple is avoiding responsibility and thus being irresponsible. They also feel that a desire for childlessness destroys the meaning of marriage and causes divorces.

the newly formed USFL and the weekly game upsets have kept fans on the edge of their seats throughout the season. Play in the CFL’s Eastern division has been particularily interesting with the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Ti-Cats battling for first place.

The revamped Argos have played respectable football thus far this season. The run and shoot offence has sputtered at times but for the most part has performed admirably. No longer can fans and league officials label the Argonauts as losers or a group of disorganized sadsacks. The Argos are currently holding on to first place by a slim two point margin over the Steel City ‘Cats with two games remaining in the regular schedule. The Ti-Cats hold a game advantage over the Argos and Hamilton’s future may very well depend on their performance against the B.C. Lions in their next game.

game) The Argonaut record

compete against any team in the CFL. The rest of the CFL East is feeble and not worth discussing with the exception of the Hamilton Ti-Cats. They have performed fair with a record of 6-64. The big problem with the ‘Cats is moving their offence past the opposition’s 20 yard line. Tom Clements has little trouble in moving the Ti-Cat offence between the 20 yard lines but they have problems putting the icing on the cake. If the Hamilton offence gets its act together it could be bye-bye for the Argos chances of capturing the Eastern division pennant. The CFL West is all but sewn up for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

watch. The 1982 CFL season appears to be the year of the long bomb. Last season 78 per cent of the games net offence was made up of passing. This season 74 percent of the net offence is through the air. Rushing is down 25 per cent since 1977. The trend in today’s offences is definitely toward the passing galne.
