Pay parking to be enforced? by Judi Jackman

Bill

Students returning to the Boon fall shouldn’t be surprised if they find gates on all the parking lots and uniformed attendants asking to see parking permits. Although the system may not go into effect next September, it has been in the planning stages for the past three years. Jack Williams, director of

campus next

finance and administration operations, said that the instigation date had not yet been finalized and that planning is still being done as far as the

pay-parking scheme

con-

cerned.

“We

are not looking to fleece students,” said Williams. The new system is only being employed as a means of paying for the maintainence required for the five parking lots at the the

Doon campus. The last parking lot was paved during the last week in August of this year and now some of the older ones need repaving. The College doesn’t want to

use grant money given to them by the federal and provincial governments for the maintainence. f' The initial capital would come i from the College who would then receive an annual revenue based ' on the depreciation. “ One important plus to having the pay-park system is that fj

expensive snow removal and winter driving hazards, could be reduced.

The cost to the student said Williams, will be reasonable although he couldn’t disclose a figure at this time. He was unable to give a total cost figure as it hasn’t been worked out yet. This system is still in the planning stages; it will not go into effect this year'^uid there has been no instigation date set as of this fall.

“Generally, persons whose were sent to the Ministry by the end of July, their funds should be here,” said applications

Betty Martin, Award Officer. After filling out an OSAP application, it is reviewed by the Awards Office then sent to the Ministry in Toronto for assessment. OSAP is designed to supplement but not to replace the financial resources of the student and family. It is based on the formula that educational costs minus resources equals the student’s need. The student is expected to contribute $70 per. I week towards his education. “Those requesting govern-* ment financial aid are first assessed for a grant. If the need (of the student) is not met, the difference is made up with a student loan,” said Martin.

As of August 29, a total of 1,564 applications were received - 25 per cent more than last year. The maximum amount that can be received in Canadian Student loan has increased to $100 per week from $56.25 last year. Due to orientation and all the activity around the college these first couple of weeks, “there will be probably a two week delay in processing applications at this time,” said Martin. Late appliers will possibly be looking at November for funding.

He adjusts his protective equipment, laces up his skates ' and speeds towards an ominously long row of barrels. He leaps through the air, soars over the barrels and lands with a body jarring thud.

Executive changes The commencement of another school year brought the college ^e\y changes in staff. “The cofiege has made some organization changes at the executive level,” said John G. Podmore, director of personnel services.

John Goddard, college director for Stratford and Clinton campuses, now also assumes responsibility for the Waterloo campus. Although Goddard always had most of the responsibilities as director of continuing education at the Waterloo campus, the title just

The respohsibility for the Employer Based Training Services and the Ontario Career Action Plan (OCAP), has now been transfered to Norman Johnstone, director of continuing education.

Johnstone said that the move* would result in more effective service to business and industrial clients.

David Hogg, chairman of technology, has left the college to become director of education services at the new CAD/CAM services in Cambridge. lt’s a very exciting opportuniIty for him to learn a lot about a 'new technology, and to have the responsiblity of covering all of Ontario. ( “The bottom line is to help manufacturing Ontario become more competitive both nationally and internationally,” said Hogg.

Walton believes the beer is put in the green bottles only as a marketing ploy, because people in North America prefer to drink from green instead of brown. In countries such as Germany, the beer drinkers will not drink beer if it is bottled in green because they are aware of what can happen. Walton feels that people’s taste must change and they will change once people become aware of the problem.

testoterone. This chemical enables athletes to build muscles unnaturally by raising the level of male hormones in their

system. The use of steroids should be stopped. The reasons for this are quite obvious. First, one must take into consideration the health hazards which are attributed to the use of steroids.

They may cause

hypertension and decrease the sperm count in men. They cause masculinizing effects in

women. Athletes, at one time, were put on a pedestal With the widespread use of every kind of drug from cocaine to barbiturates, the opinion of athletes is dropping quickly. Since they are athletes they seem to escape the long arm of the law, when in fact a lot of them are just common criminals. Athletes who train daily to' exceed in their field are succeeding unfairly with the use of steroids. It is disgusting to see an athlete train eight to 12 hours a day and then lose a competition to someone who may have had a two hour workout and then shot up with steroids.

Many athletes are finally speaking out against the use of steroids. British track star Sebastian Coe believes that any athlete caught using steroids should be banned from amateur competition for life. The present penalty is a possible one year suspension for first time offenders. Partially to blame for the use of steroids is the International Weightlifting Federation. For years th^ Federation has been looking the other way when this issue pops up. Weightlifting is the sport where training and steroids seem to be synonymous. Legendary Soviet weightlifter Vasili Alexeev is proof that hard training is the best method. Throughout

The Pan-Am officials gave no warning of the stringent, newly advanced tests they were going to use.

They could have saved a”16t of mdhey”^ahd a wasted trip for the many athletes who decided to leave early, if ohly they had let everybody know of their plans. Another aspect to the steroids problem is the ihability to stop Communist country athletes from using steroids. These athletes are encouraged to use the drug, their officials plan programs and develop ways of avoiding detection. With officials, doctors, athletes and politicians all working in these countries to keep ahead of Western countries, how can you blame an athlete from trying to keep up. Imagine training year after year, developing your skills, working until you are at your peak, yet still be unable to beat a Russian or East German because they use steroids.

Have you ever wondered why so many Russian female athletes look like men. It because steroids increase male hormone

production. This flattens a woman’s chest, broadens her shoulders and adds hair to the face and body. It would be great to keep steroids and all drugs out of athletics. If only all the world’s athletes could compete without the use of anabolic steroids or other drugs then the value of international competitions would increase. Yet as long as sports remains extremely political this is not likely to happen. Until fair and complete testing is developed and all who use steroids are stopped then I will not blame any Canadian athlete who uses'.,
