Hutchings feels Matthews and Bertrand are a compatible team. Matthews’ main concern in September, he said, would be to cut back on student apathy.
Only 389 ballots were cast out of a student population of 2,200. “Several people voted for only one person,” said Hutchings.

“The situation of the Conservative Party in Canada is not good and hasn’t been good for 75 years. We haven’t been around 24 Sussex long enough to get wet in that pool and I want to see us all in that pool in a big way.” One of the big reasons for their not getting wet is the party’s lack of representation in Quebec - the so-called Tory wasteland.

Shuttle Blues, or how not to launch
a $100
M
satellite
Seemingly not content with bungling foreign economic policy, or military policy, it appears that the United States is now determined to bungle high-tech space projects as well. Despite the flawless performance of the second space shuttle, the Challenger, the first deployment of a satellite into geo-synchronous orbit via space shuttle has been a disaster. No doubt the blame will eventually be laid at NASA’s door, as the space shuttle and its associated systems were designed by NASA and are still under development. In the mid- 1970’ s the shuttle project experienced a series of delays in its design, policy,
particularly with respect to heat shielding, development of navigation computers, and its booster engines. The resulting cost overruns made the shuttle a very attractive target for an administration attempting to reduce the national

deficit. 1979, just after the flight of the test vehicle
Enterprise, the shuttle program was on the verge of being phased out. American politicians were only too much aware that the glamour of space in the eyes of the public was long gone, even before the last of the Apollo moon missions. At this point the Pentagon intervened, realizing the great military usefulness of the shuttle, and the shuttle was refunded out of the defence budget. However, the military insisted that the shuttle be redesigned to meet their requirements. Passenger capacity was reduced, along with fuel allowance; the shuttle would no longer be capable of achieving an altitude of 22,500 miles, geo synchronous orbit. The military wanted a bigger payload and was only interested in low orbits for military satellites. If any commercial concern wanted high altitude satellites they would strap boosters on the satellite and launch it from the orbitting shuttlecraft. As a direct result of military tinkering the U.S. has lost a $100 million satellite intended to provide communication and navigational information for the space shuttles. In recent days the military controller of the shuttle program.
General Abrahamson, has sounded very optimistic about salvaging the satellite and correcting its problems with the attitudinal jets on the satellite. However, those jets are only intended to rotate the satellite; altering

far beyond their capability. It appears that the U.S. never learns from its mistakes. It was only by a last-minute confrontation that Douglas MacArthur was restrained from running the war in Korea in 1950 and propagating a holocaust. Similarly, the military dictated all aspects of the war in Vietnam. In both cases it was clearly revealed

that no military establishment is competent to make decisions outside its own sphere. By allowing the shuttle to fall under purely military control the American people and their government have merely repeated the same stupidities.

A permanent
decision:
tattoo or not to tattoo by Beverlee East Getting yourself tattooed is hoping you’ll never have to say your sorry. But most people end up being very sorry unless they consider the permanency of the decision before hand. Getting a tattoo is something many young adults consider. The most important aspect to remember is that tattoos are permanent, except for removal by high costing procedures. “Most people that get tattoos and begin to regret it in a few years really didn’t think of what they were doing when they got it done,” said John Fields, a Kitchener resident. “I strongly recommend against getting a tattoo because people get them done when they are young, and as they mature, their lifestyle changes and they grow out of it,” said Ursula

actually thinking of getting another one. He feels that a lot of people get tattoos on a spur of the moment decision, and do so to conform, “but it’s a form of art, if you look at it properly.” Adventure Tattoo Inc., located at 833 Queen Street West, Toronto, is known in Ontario as well as other parts of the world. The artists. Dee Bryan, Mickey Campbell, and two brothers, Don and Tim Day, won’t tattoo anybody under the age of 18 without their legal guardian present. They also won’t perform on intoxicated individuals. This is because they want to be assured that the decision is honest and mature. “When you see someone with a tattoo, you know he’s either in the navy, and he’s not from the upper class. You can tell he hasn’t always been an upstanding citizen,” said Samson. However it has not always been this way. “Tattooing is as ancient as time and as modern as tomorrow,” said Don Day. Tattooing goes back as far as 2000 BC when parallel lines were inscribed on the mummified body of the Egyptian priestess Hathor. Many primitive tribes believed in life after death; thus their bodies were tattooed as a means of indentification in the after-life. The Japanese used to tattoo their life story on their bodies, and when they died, their hides were stripped and

cultures. At present, about 50 per cent of tattoos are given to women. It is said that Janis Joplin started this craze when she had a floral bracelet tattooed on her wrist. Times and morals are changing. It is now acceptable for women to have tattoos, as compared to the beginning of the
century. The cost of tattooing varies from $10 to thousands of dollars, depending on the detail of the work. The choices of tattoos is unlimited. An average heart with names in it will cost about $25, while a Harley Davidson emblem is between $80 to $90. A small rose would cost about $20. Every area of the body has been tattooed except the eye. The preparation for a tattoo includes shaving and hygenically cleansing the skin. A stencilled pattern, dipped in ink is placed on desired spot. Then an electric needle, fitted with one pin outlines the stencil. Two to three pins are placed in the needle for shading larger areas. No anaesthesia is used, but the area becomes numb after a short while. Tattoos are done in special Indian ink and can be done in any colour combination except white. “Personally I’m a tattoo artist, not a moralist,’ said Campbell. He estimated that the strongest age group getting tattoos is from 18 to 35, but every age gets them. People get tattoos becai^ of the interaction of society and personality. Tfep motives can range from superstition, status and attraction.

the less fear exists.” Stone says that many prejudicial attitudes are learned at a very early age. A great source of bigotry is to be found in antiquated, early childhood literature. According to Stone, depictions of blacks as household servants and slaves were common elements in earlier children’s stories: “Amazingly, some of this literature

Bigotry learned early in childhood becomes difficult to overcome as one grows older.
A member of an audience once congratulated Stone on his speech on brotherhood. But he confessed that five minutes after the speech he entered a crowded elevator and an ethnic man stepped on his foot. In his mind he cursed the man for being a foreigner. “I didn’t really mean it, but first thing that came into my head,” he told Stone. Overcoming bigotry requires a conscious effort and it

But there is an inconspicuous little nook, a cosy niche, (no big signs, no neon) which offers a wide selection of exceptional eatables at affordable prices.

The success of the pubs this year is due to the hard work and dedication of all those involved with sponsoring the pubs and a high degree of

But, due to partnership disputes Pepperall was bought out by his partner and started Rent-aRig with the money from the transaction. Six months after winning the first lottery, he won another for $100,000. With this cash he expanded Rent-aRig, buying a couple of systems at an average cost of $40,000.
Today, Pepperall rates his sound company as the fourthbest in Canada. His company has a staff of five, four technicians and a secretary. He now owns seven complete sound systems.

The Midas Martin system could accomodate a 4,000-seat theatre. This system costs the promoter $12,000 a night. For this price, Pepperall supplies a crew who will operate the system.

The Expos
just
can’t lose this
year
by Greg Neath
Could this be the year that the Montreal Expos finally use their incredible talent to win a World Series? It should be.
The Expos have never had it together as they do this year, and the main reason is Bill Virdon. Virdon is Montreal’s saviour. His management ability and quiet but tough personality will lead the
Expos
to the
World
Series.
Montreal could not win with Dick Williams because his personality was too strong and clashed with players like Gary Carter and Andre Dawson. Montreal could not win with Jim Fanning because his personality was too soft and he could not handle players such as Carter and
Dawson. But Virdon will be just right. He can handle anybody yet he will not embarrass or hurt any star’s ego. And he keeps team problems out of the media.
Virdon is not the only reason that Montreal will be baseball’s best team. Tim Raines has kicked his drug problem and should be in top form next year. If so, he will be the best base stealer, bar none, including Ricky Henderson. Andre Dawson slumped last year and still hit over .300. He will be better this year which means he will be awesome. Gary Carter gets better all the time and is in a category all his own in the baseball world today. Terry Francona will be in top form and that means another .300 hitter added to Montreal’s lineup. His fielding ability won’t hurt the team either. Virdon will have to make room for him in the lineup. Good-bye Warren Cromartie.
Another reason why Montreal will be tops is because of the marvelous pitching staff. Steve Rogers is arguably the best pitcher in the National League. Charlie Lea is one of the best young pitchers in baseball and will someday be a 20-game winner. Bill Gulickson and Scott Sanderson round out one of the best starting pitcher rotations in either league. The bullpen can pull its own weight with Jeff Reardon, who is one of the best relievers anywhere, and the ageless Woody Fryman, who can still pitch out of a jam.
