Cleaning up on
campus
At the end of each El Condor pub, the band’s instruments and equipment are noisily packed away and a rowdy crowd retreats, leaving in its wake scores of cups, cigarette butts and anything that could contribute to making the cafeteria an unholy mess. The Boys’ Brigade pub of Thursday, March 8 was no exception. Filth was everywhere. However, in a matter of half an hour, there was no sign that anyone had been in the room, cups of liquid refreshment had been spilled or that cigarettes had been ground out on the floor. As the last reveller left the room, and even as band members were still sorting out their wardrobe, the Conestoga cleaning staff went to work. They did so quickly and efficiently and soon had the cafeteria ready for students coming in the following day. Tables and chairs were again in order and the floor, once dirty and sticky, was shiny and clean. Certain staff members at the college are more often than not taken for granted. The kitchen staff, handymen and the cleaners, just to name a few. The times are few when these people get to know how important and commendable their work

The recent murder of an 18-year-old convenience store clerk during his midnight shift, coming just six months after an 18-year-old girl was shot and paralyzed under the same circumstances, has once again raised the question of round-theclock, seven-day-a-week shopping. Although there has never been a demand from the public for all night store openings, the trend has become widely prevalent with hundreds in Ontario alone. The trade created the need, then filled it under the guise of competive marketing.

Government by
default
Campaigning is underway for the Doon Student Association election to be held next week. For most of the student body, this is a matter of yawning disinterest. Campaign posters will be defaced, campaign speeches will be ignored and only one-tenth of the eligible voters will exercise their right. The excuses for not participating are numerous: “It doesn’t concern me.’’ “My vote doesn’t make any difference.” “I don’t know the issues.” “I’m not interested.” As a member of the community, any community, it is your duty to be concerned, to take an interest, to study the issues and to cast a considered vote. Political apathy has become the Canadian way and the fact that we still enjoy a democracy has to be due more to good luck than good management. Government by default is your fault.

Once the protest has been reorganized, Brett Carey and their students plan to hold a meeting to make the rest of the technology student body aware of the plans.

Blackburn, one of the two new teachers, who teaches first year software, “knows his stuff,” and has teaching ability. Dr. Tom East on the other hand has caused a change in
schedules and has not achieved the continuity from Cooper’s classes. “How can those guys (East’s students) finish their courses if they’re not taught the fundamentals?” asked Carey. It (the transfers) wasn’t thought out and there are teachers who aren’t

Cooper’s and Huschilt’s classes there was a conflict in that he was teaching two classes at one time. “This was the only change,” said Martinek.

Two hockey Condors Mike Hayes, a second year criminology student and Todd Hoffman, a first year production planning and inventory control student were chosen to represent Conestoga on the annual (OCAA) Ontario College Athletics Association All Star Team. At the end of the college varsity hockey season, each coach nominates two or three players from his team. All the coaches select the All Star Team from these nominees.
Both A and B teams consist of five players and one goalie. Being chosen for the All Star Team is a purely symbolic gesture to commend players on their past hocket achievements, because the teams
never compete; however, cho-
sen representatives are awarded with a certificate at
awards banquet. “The All Star Team

recognition of hockey achievement,” said Mike Hayes.
Hayes, who played left wing the Condors, has been playing hockey for 11 years but he feels “This year was the best year I’ve ever had playing hockey.” Apart from hockey, Hayes has many athletic interests which include basketball and baseball. He hopes to become more involved in intramural sports, something his tight class schedule doesn’t allow at for
the present.
He has been asked to represent Conestoga at the annual college invitational ballhockey tournament.

As it stands, Hayes and Hoffman are two students who deserve recognition for their hockey achievements, but each for different reasons.

every ounce of energy into performance.
