Most editorials in Toronto’s major newspapers are all for abortion and abortionist Henry Morgenthaler. Even the terms used in hard news stories tend to show those for abortion to be the good guys and those against it as the bad guys.
Reagan was forced to make a decision last week that could have changed his career. He had to decide whether or not to risk more American lives in order to keep the peace in

Being a man who has never wasted time or gone for half measures as was shown during the hostage taking incident in Iran, the fact that Reagan took on the presidency knowing what the situation was proves that he isn’t afraid or hesitant to use the necessary means to protect his country and the democratic world. Though some people would like to make out that he is a warmonger, Reagan has proved them all wrong by initiating several arms limitations agreements as well as trade agreements with not only the Russians but other communist countries as well. When it comes time for the American people to vote for their new president, we can only hope that they have the wisdom to put a man, Ronald Reagan, back into the White House to continue doing the job. As Canadians, we have a unique interest in American politics. The American president has power of policy and action that are matched only by the leader of the Soviet Union. We fall under the American sphere of influence and I am glad to see that there is a man like Reagan to keep the balance tipped in our favour. It took a lot of courage for him to stand before his country and announce that the
American forces would remain in Lebanon; the American people stood behind him.

The entire purpose of school is to prepare the student to enter the working world, and by reducing the importance of English the schools have failed to do this. Hopefully the changes planned for the high schools will have a significant effect on this problem soon after they are put into action, but the visible results will be a long

before in our history have so many supposedly ‘educated’ people known so little about communicating their thoughts clearly and effectively. It has become a situation that no one wants to face. Teachers in many post-secondary institutions cannot afford the time to re-teach students the basics of syntax, inflection and formal English grammar as it would jeopardize the time spent on curriculum work. They shouldn’t have to be the ones to do this anyway. Students who are noticeably weak in English have to be given

Guy Sprung directed the play that ran from Sept. 1 to Oct. 22. Sprung said “Willy tries to sell himself to his family as the perfect father. Biff tries to sell himself to his father as the perfect son - so much so that neither can accept any flaws in the ” ‘goods.’
Costumes were designed reasonably well and the music provided a blank canvas for the cast to brush their talents across. The sets were by far the best part of the technical side of the

Two second-year students in the Social Services program, Bonnie Fischer and Laurie Marcy, both of Cambridge, were given awards for excellence in field placement performance. The awards, for $50 each, were presented for the first time this year. Fischer received the Student/Faculty Award for her work in field placement at Kitchener House, 300 Frederick St., Kitchener, a community resource centre for offenders. The award was also in recognition of her academic

SPORTS Better competition brings in
bigger bucks for
CFL
by Greg Neath It is
great to see that
in
these hard times,
when many sporting leagues are having trouble surviving, the stronger than ever.
CFL
is
thriving,
CFL Commissioner Jake Guadar sold the league’s television right to Carling O’Keefe for $33 million a couple of weeks ago proving that the CFL had come a long way. Ten years ago, the CFL would have been lucky to get one million for the same deal. But now in 1983 the CFL can sign such a deal because their football has become extremely popular on television. Friday night football is one of the CFL’s best sellers here in Canada and in the United States on ESPN (a 24 hour sports channel). There are many reasons why the CFL has reached such popularity. The talent has been spread more evenly throughout the league. '
This
means
that
most games are
interesting.
At least four out of the five teams in the west division are contenders. In the east division, all four teams have some talent, although Hamilton is on the way down while Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto are getting better. As the talent in the league has become more evenly dispersed, the west has not dominated the east this season as they did through much of the seventies. Another reason the CFL has become so popular has been the excellent Grey Cups that have been played the last couple of years. Edmonton had to come from behind against Ottawa and Toronto in ’81 and ’82. Both games were entertaining and proved
CFL

overlooked until now. Teams such as Toronto and Montreal have realized that paying huge amounts for American players usually has disastrous results. With the CFL putting more into Canadian recruiting, university football has also become more popular and of a better quality. University football is attracting large crowds. At one time most spectators were students. Now, the stadiums are filled with local residents. In Guelph, Waterloo and London, most games are close to being sell-outs and Hamilton’s channel 11 gets very good ratings for their university game of the week they telecast every Saturday. As more and more Canadians are drafted and more interest develops in university football, more money goes back into university football to develop better training, better facilities, better teams and better players. Not only are the CFL and university leagues getting better, but Canada’s minor leagues and high school football programs are improving. As they get better, the Universities will have better players coming into their system and then the CFL will also get better talent.
Although our football is improving, many Canadian football fans believe that the only good football played is in the United States. This attitude may be a result of our Canadian inferiority complex but if these Canadians would just take a good look at the CFL, they would find a competitive, exciting brand of football being played. Canadian Football is just as good as American and the quality is improving and of us will grow to appreciate our one of a kind football league.
