of whether Conestoga will have paid parking next year is still up in the air. Even if it is approved, there is no definite date as to when it will be introduced. According to Jacqueline Matthews, it is forecast
for 1984.
The Board of Governors is pushing for paid parking as Conestoga is one of the few colleges without it, said Matthews. There is also a committee set up trying to prevent it, she said.
According to Jack Williams, Director of Finance, the issue of paid parking is “still in limbo.”

This is a political game to see who will back down first making the other country look like the more powerful one. In a ever-worsening world communications system, we, the citizens of this planet, have no time for such infantile power trips. Leaders of the Commonwealth countries can see the broken link in the communication network and are trying to repair it. Trudeau’s peace mission is gathering momentum as he visits more European leaders in an effort to set up an international
peace conference that will bring the superpowers together with allies from each side for support. With the best possible environment for positive discussion then maybe, some solutions can be found. With both powers trying to bluff the other, there can’t possibly be any time for peace talks. We must support the Commonwealth leaders in their efforts to promote better communications between east and west.

The dog license costs $10 for this year and a suggested amount of $50 could be initiated each additional dog.

few days of Christmas. Instead the thrill the parades give to children of all ages is lost by the tim,e the holiday arrives. A Christmas parade is an event to take people outside for one interest. It is a festival of togetherness with rosy cheeks Christmas spirits raised high. There should be snow, children,
and
balloons, clowns and floats, but not two months before the actual Christmas holiday. The Christmas spirit doesn’t usually grab hold of most people until the holiday is almost upon us. Then we have the last-minute tree-trimming, gift-buying, visiting friends and relatives. Shouldn’t '’a Santa Claus parade be a part of these festivities? To get the major part of a city or community out to see the Santa Claus Parade is a big task. If the spirit was already there then the people would not have to be dragged to the event. Christmas is a special time with special events. The Santa Claus Parade is a part of Christmas and thus should be treated as a part,

Canada’s downhill team is expected to dominate the World Cup and Olympic scene this year. Our big hope this year for World Cup domination is Steve Podborski. Podborski’s long time service man, Hans Rammelmuellar, an Austrian working with the Canadian team, said in a European interview, he expects big things from Steve this year. Podborski, who’s just recovered from surgery, spent a month on crutches, moved on to a can and spent five day’s a week at physiotherapy, this return from surgery was not as bad as his recovery from knee surgery in 1976 and 1980.
