Other companies have expressed interest, but first have to develop a workable plan. Coca-Cola, for example, is very interested, but St. Clair said, “they don’t want to ace out any of their stores, their retailers”.

EDITORIAL
on your own far away from home it’s hard to be alone Living
by Judi Jackman
So you are out on your own now. How do you like the bachelor life? Isn’t it great? You get to do whatever you want whenever you want; like the cooking and the cleaning and the laundry. Seriously, just because you eat in the school cafeteria all the time doesn’t mean you can’t cook, right? It just means that you are spending so much time at school and on your studies you just don’t have any time left to cook!
Don’t forget to tell your folks to warn you ahead of time when they plan on visiting - that way you will have a chance to dig the furniture out from under all the dirty laundry so they have somewhere to sit when they arrive.. That first, all-important visit; every mother
has to pull at least one surprise. You’ll come school one day to find three huge, green garbage bags filled to capacity outside your apartment and the smell of home-made lasagne greet you as you put the key to the

or the butterknives. Now as far as laundry is concerned; don’t worry, no one has noticed that all your clothes are peameal green, really! There are no deep, dark secrets as to how you do your wash; it’s really a matter of common give-it-up-now sense! All you have to do is put clothes together according to their colors, fabrics, instrucions and necessity. Which translated means you put all your jeans together in one load and everything else in another one! Now to tackle the cleaning; if you were really smart you would be boarding with a family that does all your cleaning but if you are being indepdendent then take heart, it isn’t as bad as it sounds! You can go in for one of two looks; the collegiate look that features everything everywhere, in other words an organized mess! If that just isn’t you then arm yourself with Spic and Span and go to it! One word of advice though if it’s a $200 a month apartment don’t knock yourself out anything under $500 never looks clean anyway! After undoing your mother’s handiwork, buying a new wardrobe (your old one never lost that green tinge) and spending three hours trying to get the spider webs off the balcony doors you are ready to call it quits right? But the fun hasn’t even started! The most ironic part of all this is that you actually have to pay for it!

Anthony’s assistants share the spotlight introducing Vincent Anthony; mentalist extraordinaire!
Vincent Anthony, who per-
formed amazing feats using mental power here at Doon Campus last Tuesday, began his career 18 years ago as a magician. Since then, he has come a long way.
Anthony was born and raised in Niagara Falls, Ont., and now resides in London, Ont. His first interest in magic started when his parents took him to a magic show at the age of five. Since then his interests
and accomplishments have greatly expanded.
Anthony attended pre-med classes at Western University and became interested in the powers of suggestion and hypnosis. In fact, Anthony wrote his final paper on the powers of suggestion.
Anthony “put to sleep” approximately 700 to 800 people in his four years as a pre-med student. He learned to take interesting concepts and combine them with the powers of suggestion.
Anthony says the greatest on his performing life was a man from Atlanta, Georgia by the name of Terry Stokes. Stokes taught Anthony the aspects of combining entertainment with the powers of

When asked why he started using the powers of suggestion as entertainment he explained that he used to work in a clinic. People usually came to him to quit smoking, improve their golf game, lose weight or just to better themselves. “Needless to say this becomes boring in the least,” Anthony said. “I wanted something more fun and interesting.” Anthony said that 85 percent of all people are able to “go under.” This method of induc-

Vaughn, best known for his guitar work on David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” LP, has released an album full of deeprooted Texas blues and some of the best string-bending since George Thorogood. Vaughn’s voice is enjoyable, but his nimble-fingered fretwork makes the album shine two instrumentals are included on Texas Flood. Strangely enough, half of the songs on this album are cover versions, which is unfortunate because there is enough potency in Stevie Ray Vaughn’s style to make the need for cover versions seem redundant.
