by Colin Hunt
Much attention has been paid by western media to the'recent death of Soviet Central Committee Chairman and Politburo chief Leonid Brezhnev. An equally strong spotlight has been focussed on his apparent successor. If there is a concensus of western perception of Andropov it is found in the form of portraying him as the Russian version of a liberal. It may well be that such a superficial view is based on shallow analysis derived from Tass press releases and wishful thinking. Because Andropov has not yet consolidated his position, if indeed he ever does, it is too soon to make hard and fast conclusions.

only reasonable to speculate tht the veterans, including Andropov, have been welded together into a management team with views not dissimilar from Brezhnev’s. Thus it may be foolish to predict any great softening in Soviet foreign policy in the near future.
To date, Andropov’s succession into Brezhnev’s offices of Politburo spokesman and Chairman of the Central Committee has been performed faster than any previous change in Soviet leadership. To all appearances, Andropov’s views on detente are the same as Brezhnev’s were; pursue trade with the west for modern technology, and make as much political headway in the Third World nations as possible.

The only fair way to deal with the unions would be to talk to them and the management rather than the slipshod way in which Spoke, and in particular its editorial writers Blake Reiner and Bev McBride, have handled their editorial comments. It is hard to believe these people actually know anything about the world outside this college or what it is like to work for a living. Rather than continuing their attacks on the working class of this country, which happens to have paid for the paper, typewriters, and college that the Spoke staff are using, they should focus on the people who

The most reasonable theory expounded by the “Kremlinologists” is that Andropov is a leader in the mould of Brezhnev.

A certain amount and kind of pornographic materials are available to those who desire it. When it is allowed to go unchecked and uncensored pornography can take many forms and can be available to anyone regardless of age or sexual habits. The incidence rate of sexual assaults on women and children can be attributed to the hard core porn which encourages abuse and even offers an inducement to violent behavior. With pornography comes the ability to steer unformed or weak value systems into destructive channels. A child viewing a television sees a woman getting beaten and sexually assaulted and seemingly enjoying it. Stores carry both soft and hard core porn magazines. In most cities, these stores have been forced to move the hard core stuff from lower eye-level shelves to higher ones or even to package possibly offensive magazines in a brown wrapper. The idea behind this is “out of sight, out of mind.” Unfortunately, this approach is not enough. A child can easily gain access to these materials if his curiosity is aroused enough. All it takes is a tall friend. It is not just the child who suffers from the barrage of suggestive and offensive literature. His parents are also being bombarded with it, frequently against their will. Just as we have the democratic right to elect our own representatives, we also have the right to our sexual preferences. However, when those individual tastes begin to border on violence, whether subtly or by overt act, then it is no longer a matter of “out of sight, out of mind.” When sexual appetites become destructive and exploitive it is a matter of

What is pornography? If we’re talking about violence being done to anyone, whether male or female, child or adult, then yes, that is probably pornography. It is certainly offensive. But is the sexual act obscene? If it is, there are a hell of a lot of nasty folks around. Something is intrinsically wrong with a society which gets up-in-arms about a film depicting nudity between adults but does not feel in the least alarmed about commercials aimed at young girls in which they are told that they can not be beautiful unless they use Crayola cosmetics to enhance and year old faces. That’s obscene. few “civilized” societies which view sex and bodily functions as dirty. The Native Americans are frankly puzzled by our use of sexual terms as swear words. The Orientals have no swear words. They certainly don’t refer to their friends - or enemies - as biological functions or as physiological parts. I would say something is seriously amiss when an entire nation of people are so hung up about normal, natural aspects of life that they have to invent names for their genitalia. The issue of pornography and censorship is an ever-present source of controversy. But discussion always revolves around naked bodies and propafalsify their eight

real obscenity is the row guns, bazookas, toy tanks, squirt pistols, and laser guns that can be bought at any toy store. Do we really want to teach our children that killing is sport, that zapping their buddies with the latest, most devastating space weapon is the way to solve their problems? That is truly obscene. Our society seems to have little grasp of what is dirt. As long as we continue to view as acceptable bigotry and violence, exploitation and sexual abuse, we’ve certainly no right to think ourselves superior to those who visit the porn movies.

Many students, at one time or another, find themselves in need of legal assistance. Without the financial backing to hire a lawyer, students seek inexpensive legal advice. At Conestoga College there is no legal clinic. If you are in need of some legal aid, the counselling office can help to refer you to the appropriate agency. Julia Elvidge, co-ordinator of the University of Waterloo’s Legal Resource Centre, says that Conestoga should have its own legal facility. “We are not law students, we were trained by the Waterloo Region Com-

Elvidge feels the Legal Resource Centre is vital to the university and that Conestoga also benefit from a similar group. After three three-hour training lectures, Elvidge and other interested volunteers secured an office from the students’ council and set up practice.

Students commented that the pub was “excellent”, “a really good time”, and “a great party, yeh!”. The pub had a genuine party atmosphere because of the variety of music. This made the students more involved with having fun, than if it were a pub with a band where many people tend to just watch and listen to the band. For those who were hungry, or for those who just needed a break from the dancing, a cold buffet was served at 11:00. It consisted of sandwiches, vegetables and various salads. The food was catered by the Transylvania Club.

punk
by Dave DuCharme
As the time went by, more people began to get into punk rock and new wave in the Twin Cities. By the late winter of 1979, there were many people
who were now donning punk clothing and listening to their favorite punk and new wave
bands. At Smitty’s Cove in Waterloo, Disc Jockey “Mad” Mel Johnson, included punk rock and new wave with the top 40 music that he was already playing. This started to attract those who were into the punk scene. It, however, did not go over too well with the management of this rather contem-
porary sports bar which was frequently attended by athletic
teams and
clubs.
Johnson inevitably quit Smitty’s because this music, which he preferred, was not accepted there. He got together with his friend, Lino
Natoli (who owns Record World in downtown Kitchener), and decided to open their

SPORTS Condors defeat Niagara College they held a comfortable 47-33 half-time lead.
by Kelly Pfeiffer
Niagara had had good The Conestoga Condors basketball team got iack on the winning track last Wednesday night, as they defbated Niagara College from Welland 84-61 at the Centre. “The slow pace of the game in the first half allowed us to do what we wanted and we took advantage of it,” Condor coach Bob Scott said after the
Men’s
game. Condor scoring was led by forward Jim Gordon with 22 points, while guard Phil Aubin added 19 points to aid the Condor cause. Aubin also contributed alot defensively, as he held Niagara’a high scoring to only 11
guard Paul Weller points.
Pat Morrissey paced Niagara with 17 points, 15 of them in the closing stanza. While Weller and guard Mark Ford chipped in 11 points apiece.
The
first
half of play
was
almost a carbon of the Fanshawe game on November 16, with one distinct difference. It was the Condors this time who held the hot hand scoring-wise. The long jumpers were now falling for the men in red, white and blue uniforms and not the opposition. Guard’s Doug Schenck and Phil Aubin led this first half air assault, with Schenck scoring all 12 of his points in the opening half. By the mid-way point of the first half the Condors had a 26-18 lead, as the Condor offense was running on all cylinders. Their passing and play selection worked to perfection for most of the half. Although in the final four minutes of the half the Condors only scored five points, but even with this
to get back into the early in the second half, as the Condors couldn’t generate any offense. It looked as if the Condors might blow another one of their big leads, but after Niagara missed opportunities to get back in the game, the Condors found some composure and brought the game down to a pace where they could control the clock. With four minutes left in the game and the Condors leading 78-56, both teams put in their substitute players, as the outcome was no longer indoubt.
