The great debate scheduled week in the lounge of the Doon Campus between the college administration and the Doon Student Association did last

not materialize as the administration refused to show up. As Dan Randall, president of the Doon Student association put it, “They said (administration) that it would not be in their best interest to attend a debate while negotiations were on.” In place of the administration, the president of the teachers union (OPSEU) local 237, Bill Harrison, was on hand to field questions from students. Harrison made it clear that no teacher at any college wants to walk out, especially at Conestoga College. But he also stated that if it will take a walk out to have their demands met, then the teachers

Norm Bertrand and Mike Weinstein escorted two contestants in the Miss Oktoberfest Pageant. The Pageant was seen live on CKCO-TV on Thursday, October 4 at 9: 30. On that night, Bertrand and Weinstein were smiling from ear to ear as they made their television debut. Bertrand, a third-year business management student at Doon campus, escorted 18year-old Beverly Zinn of West Virginia, while Weinstein, a second-year broadcasting student, escorted 19-year-old Cynthia Lynn Ratajczak of Buffalo.

December vision

Oktoberfest is over for another year, and it’s time to think about the impact the festival has on the Kitchener- Waterloo area.

Oktoberfest is a great boost for the local economy. It provides main source of revenue for the four German clubs in Kitchener. Without the money received during ten days in October, the clubs would be forced to close. Every business in the area benefits from the huge influx of tourist, from hotels to restaurants to the cab companies. However, many Kitchener residents are getting tired of what has changed from a cultural festival to a massive drinking bash. Oktoberfest is synomous with drinking beer and getting very impaired in the minds of many people. In fact, some would be able to name beer and Schnapps prices for every fethall but would find it difficult to name one cultural event that took place over the 10-day festival. The Oktoberfest committee has attempted to get away from the drinking aspect in the past few years. In 1984, more than 70 cultural events were planned. Although Oktoberfest drinking is still the most popular activity, there are now alternative forms of entertainment. The Oktoberfest committee is also to be commended for getting Molson’s brewery to sponsor a free late-night bus service to eliminate what has always been a major complaint - drinking the

and driving. Even though

many full-time residents will never grow to love Oktoberfest, they may start to like it a little more as long as the drinking is downplayed and the emphasis is on the cultural aspects of the festival. Besides, who wouldn’t like the fact that so many tourists arrive that the festival was named 1984 Tourist Event of the Year? That means money in everybody’s pocket.

World War II has been over for 39 years, but from the attitudes some Canadians you wouldn’t know it. It is absolutely amazing that some people still hold grudges against the Japanese and the Germans even though hostiliies ended nearly four decades ago. Sadly, it is not uncommon to hear comments, even among people who were bom well after World War II, such as, “I don’t understand Oktoberfest. The Germans started the last two wars and now we’re throwing them a party! ” Hostilities among warring nations of the past change radically and it is fruitless to keep remembrances of past hatred. For more than 300 years England and France fought a series of wars. But for the past 160 years they have become politically and economically united like no other countries in Europe. No one holds any ill feelings from the days of Napoleon Bonaparte. Recently in the small French town of Verdun, France’s president Mitterrand and West German chancellor Kohl visited the site of one of the bloodest battles in military hisjtory. During World War I, about 800,000 French and German troops died at Verdun. Both men vowed to put the past behind them and strive toward a prosperous future for their two nations. If two countries can forget 800,000 casualties, can’t Canadians forget grudges held against Germans and Japanese? of

The successful launching of the U.S. space shuttle Challenger is another example of the incredible technology that has been amassed by all of the world - especially that which relates However, this technology is not without its risks. Three Soviet cosmonauts who spent a record 238 days in space are now having trouble walking since they have returned to the Earth’s gravity. Pretty incredible stuff. Doctors have said that they are like patients recovering from serious operations, and that they have to learn how to walk all over again. Who would want to go through that again? Granted, this case may be a little extreme, but the point has been made. Technological advancement is good in most ways. But people also tend to overlook some of the bad situations which could arise. Space flights have done wonders for NASA, but when the situation gets out of hand like in this example, the program and it goals must be reconsidered.

Blind dates Moving away from home

to college sure left you in a bind. No friends, no money and no car! Yuck. But then, college

becomes something you’re glad you moved away for. Your

social life begins to pick up, you’ve got a part-time job, and the bus takes you every-

Shyness? Too studious? Or are you just ugly? Suddenly it happens, you’re sitting home alone one Saturday night doing homework and a friend calls you. He’s got a date for you and you have to be ready by 8:30. Now you’re -rushing like crazy. You’re too busy getting ready to worry about how ugly this date is. You are also worried about what they’re going to <hink of you and why are you getting stuck with this person. They arrive. You’re afraid to open the door because you know that when you do, you’re going to see something awful. You prepare yourself for the ugliest creature that God ever created and you come up with a cross between an octopus and your mother’s worst cooking. It’s your grade four teacher!

There is no way on earth that you are going to spend two hours or more talking to someone who looks like your grade four teacher.

needed our attendance is. The League Championship Series in the American and National Leagues are good examples of what a successful sports franchise can mean to a city. In Chicago, the city is alive. Everyone, and I mean everyone, has Cub Fever. Thirty-nine years of waiting and yearning for that elusive National League East pennant can take a lot out of a city. The excitement and drama which has been bottled up inside Chicagoans has finally all exploded. The Cubs were the sentimental favorite of everyone to win the 1984 World Series. With the fans excited, the city of Chicago itself is jumping with enthusiasm, and it has made major league baseball the spectacle it is. In San Diego, much of the same is true. The Padres have played on the fringe of mediocrity since their birth in 1969. San Diego natives kept supporting the franchise until, bingo, they have a winner. They are just one step, albeit a big one, from capturing the World Series of 1984. The Tigers of Detroit have broken attendance records in this, their best season ever in the history of the franchise. Sentiment favored the Cubs and the Tigers in the 1984 October Classic. It was not to be. However, if such a series took place, millions of North Americans who love the game would have been rewarded with incredible baseball. Most of all, however, they would have had the opportunity to bask in the limelight and excitement which would have inevitably developed out of such a series. Without the great fan support in these three American cities, the teams would not be where they are today. The credit for that should go to the fan in the ballpark. Another example is the American involvement in the Los Angeles Olympics this past summer. The fan support was a major factor in its incredible success. The average Joe on the street became involved. Fans from all over the world became involved and turned the clouded L.A. games into one of the best ever. Once again, without the support and excitement of the public, the Americans would not have done as well as they did, and the Olympics itself would not have been such an overwhelming success. Which finally brings me to my point. The varsity sports in this college are something which can be enjoyed on the same level as that of a professional franchise. Okay, maybe that is too much of an exaggeration. But you get the idea. The Conestoga Condors have competitive teams in such sports as soccer, basketball, hockey and softball, and these squads play in competitive leagues. Fans should come and support their peers. It’s the least they

can do.

From what I have seen since I have been covering the various varsity sports for this publication since September, the fan support has been appalling. Some of the players on such teams might even go as far as saying, what fan support? There has not been any to speak of. A couple of hours on a particular Wednesday or Thursday afternoon might not hurt. The Condors do play competitively. But then nobody would know that they don’t go to the various events to find out. It doesn’t cost a dime, so everybody can afford it, and it is a good break from the pressures and rigors of school. Granted, the weather could be a factor in your decision, but we are Canadians. We should be used to it by now. Varsity hockey begins in October. Be at the Conestoga Centre to add a little encouragement to the team your team. Varsity men’s and women’s basketball begins in October as well. Men’s volleyball gets underway in November. These sports are played indoors. There can be
