get what you pay for. With this being a capitalist society ruled by a capitalist government our leaders should know that for Canada to have a good post-secondary school educational system sufficient funds must be invested. On one side we hear students are emerging from colleges and universities insufficiently trained for what the work force is demanding. And on the other side the government is saying more money is needed to keep educational standards as high as they are now. Someone is not pulling their weight. Are teachers not fulfilling their part or is the working community not making it clear what their needs are before a student’s training begins? Either way the student most being in the highest unemployment bracket is asked to spend scarce dollars for an education there is no guarantee will do them any good. Unlike in the United States, many Canadian students make enough money in a summer job to pay the present tuition. But if the government cuts off post-secondary educational funding at a time when the youth unemployment rate is climbing they had better stand back because the fuel they are adding to the embers is about to explode.

Local Olympians receive applause at a Kitchener-Waterloo reception
Voter turnout could increase A
front-page headline in the Cambridge Daily Reporter the day after the federal election proclaimed, “Cambridge voter turnout heavy.” The article said the 73.8 per cent voter turnout "should rank among the highest across Canada.” When an electoral riding has more than one-fourth of all eligible voters not care what candidate represents them in parliament, it is sad. And if this is one of the best voter turnouts in the country, the situation becomes almost desperate. A few weeks ago, an ABC special examined declining voter turnout in the United States. It found the U.S. ranked a poor 19th out of 21 countries in the western world in voter participation. Canada ranked 17th. Surely countries that pride themselves on free speech and individual liberties should have at least a 95 per cent voter turnout. Not surprisingly, the countries which continue to have the greatest mass turnout of voters are the ones where democracy is on the verge of crumbling. South Korea and Italy almost always have better than 90 per cent turnouts. Perhaps Canadian voters have so much faith in the well-being of their society they feel their votes won’t matter very much. A current American public service message sums up the voting system best. A statue of American soldiers is shown raising the flag after a battle while the announcer says, “They .all you have to do is vote.” did the^hard part .

to lament his dreary, tortuous prison existence. He said he preferred death to suffering in confinement. What the publicity-craved Olsen seemed to forget was the hell on earth he created for the families and friends of his 11 young victims. The ones who are left behind to mourn the tragic deaths of their loved ones are victims, too. Olsen received $90,000. from the government to reveal where he hid his victims’ bodies. He is now negotiating a lucrative book deal, while his victims’ families struggle to face the horror of their ordeal. Too much consideration is given to murderers. A balance should be achieved, in which the families of murder victims receive at least as much consideration as murderers do. It is time for the Canadian government to stop pandering to criminals and start giving more financial aid and emotional support to murder victims’ families. Killers should lose their rights the moment they take a person’s life. Innocent victims, the families that are left behind, should be helped by the system, not penalized.

And if anybody is just half honest with himself, he’ll say, “Hey, what am I living for?” The reason he and other Christians are on this earth instead of in heaven, Adams said, is to tell others about God. “We’re here for a purpose: to try and reach people that are lost.” Despite the intensity of his

Grand River Conservation areas have done some upgrading this summer, to ensure their various programs are adaptable for the handicapped, in anticipation of Bill 82 which deals with the rights of the handicapped, said Tim Cameron, co-ordinator of handicapped programs for the Apps’ Mill location. Cameron, along with students Mary McLorn and Laura Nagel, spent part of the summer developing and adapting conservation education programs at Apps’ Mill, located a few miles south of Paris. The students were part of a Canada Works Project created by the federal department of employment and immigration. The students spent over a month of practical preparation time with the disabled. They visited organizations which deal with the physically and
mentally handicapped and they spent restricted time in a wheelchair. “These experiences were to help us get rid of any inhibit-

As a result of their work, they can now bring the woods to the people who are unable to leave the designated pathways. Rocks and pieces of logs have been placed near the trails so the interpreter can easily demonstrate the insect life under such objects and the disabled can study them closely through the use of magnifying glasses or light weight
reaching aids. In the winter, the disabled
can be strapped into a sled and pulled through the woods so it is not necessary for nature to be brought to them, they can go to it.

orientation and a sensory awareness program. “Accessibility was and is the key. We had to discover what activities someone in a wheelchair could perform and what problems physical barriers, such as a carpet on a class-

Canada’s hockey dominance wanes by Andy Bader
The performances of all six teams in the 1984 Canada Cup tournament brings to focus the fact that hockey playing nations have caught up to Canada as a hockey power. Canada dominated the sport when it first gained prominence in the Olympics in 1920. Gold medal victories occurred consecutively until 1932. Other medals since then have also been won, the last a bronze in 1968. The 1984 Canadian contingent has not been playing badly, every other team is just playing that much better. International hockey fans have not been watching a collapse of Team Canada ’84 nor surprisingly good performances by their opposition. International hockey has simply improved a great deal, and it is all the coming to a climax this year in the Canada Cup one trophy in the sport Canada is expected to win. This fact, combined with the pressure which has been placed firmly on Canada’s shoulders, will continue to plague Canada throughout this and future Canada Cups. If they win, so what? Everyone expects it. If, on the other hand, they lose, the frustrated squad feels the national disappointment. Has Canada rapidly declined in international

For this particular Canada Cup, team representatives from Canada were selected in the middle of the summer and they trained for approximately one month. One month is obviously not long enough by any means, but Canada is forced to do it this way.

The growth
of these
hockey playing nations has put
pressure on Canada. Canada played well in 1976, and, for the most part, in 1981. In 1984, although time will tell, it appears Canada will have to change its thinking on how to do well in their own international tournament, and it will have to be a change which will reinforce Canada’s dominance in the sport of hockey.

players are forced to prepare themselves for their best hockey at the beginning of September. No time to waste, and no room for error. Strike one. Team Canada coach Glen Sather’s aim was to build a team with great speed, puck control and scoring prowess. If you held the puck from the opposition, he reasoned, they could not hold it from you. A game of keep-away, if you will. Good strategy, if it works. Such players in this type of system are of above average talent in the NHL and a mixture of these very good hockey players is not necessariy the best way to form a team. Cohesion and team unity, therefore, are very difficult to instill in a team of such calibre in such a short time. This will be Sather’s toughest obstacle to overcome. Talent itself does not win international hockey games any longer. Strike two. Canada, it must be remembered, is not the defending champions of the Canada Cup. They lost the reins of control in 1981 when they were soundly beaten by the Soviet Union, 8-1. However, Canada is still favored to win the cup back from the Russians this year after it was learned that goaltender Vladislav Tretiak and defenceman Vyacheslav Fetissov would be missing from the Soviet lineup. The U.S.S.R. is still a very dominant team, possibly the best in the world even without these two superstars'. Yet they are not that distinction was awarded to Team the favorites Canada. Every other team in the tournament* Czechoslovakia, the United States, Sweden, and West Germany were given chances at the title (as slim as they may be for Germany and Sweden).
