misconception about the right to broadcast. Like it or not, the airwaves are exclusively public domain; no one has the right to broadcast. They are granted a privilege by the government. The corporations, however, behave as though they are merely going through a piece of government red tape, solely designed to make their business expensive. They and the CRTC seem to forget that they exist only on sufferance. It is simply not true that there is really a free choice to watch or not watch television. The influence of social fads and customs on individual lifestyles is massive. With the projected deterioration in commercial television there will ultimately be no serious choice about pay TV; you’ll pay your monthly bill or sell your tube. The real issue, then, is not pornography on television but on the effectiveness of the CRTC as a defender of public property. To date, its track record under former Queens’ University political scientist John Miesel is a dismal list of concealing information and kowtowing to corporate interests.

The only unfortunate

by J.A. Giovinazzo

The Basketball Condors’ victory over the Canadore Panthers proves once again that brain overcomes brawn. The Condors, playing a consistently tight but relaxed game throughout the first half, took the lead almost immediately. This lead remained around 10 points until midway through the second half, when the Panthers’ aggressive, physical style began to take its toll on the home-team’s con-

58-51

centration.

The

first

half of play

was

con-

fast-paced with the

style of the Condors keeping most of the action in the Panthers’ end of the trolled

court.

Fine performances from Panthers Brian Crown and Richard Langlois were immensely important to the visiting team’s ability to avoid

(

getting too far behind.

Upcoming Events

aspects of the match were the poor turnout with only two

dozen Spectators, and Panther Jean-Claude Cayen. Cayen’s inability to withstand even the slightest

bumping without

style (if one can call it a style) were totally inappropriate to the high calibre of competition

these teams were involved in. Cayen left the court limping and cursing near the end of the first half after a mishap with Condor George Tinnes, only to return shortly after, showing no sign of injury other than a disgusted look on his face. The true highlight of the game came near the end of the

second half. Condor Jim Gordon ma^e a dazzling full-court break-away and passed to team-mate Wayne Munro, who scored easily into an unguarded Panther basket.
