separate incidents in Britain which occurred about a a small indication of what law enforcement agencies have to deal with. In October, the French embassy in London decided to “test” the British security systems which patrol the embassies. Some French aides planted several packages of dummy explosives and then asked Scotland Yard to send a few bobbies to make sure the building was secure for a meeting. Sure enough, the police discovered the fake bombs and it didn’t take them long to figure out that they were being set up. One news source described the incident as “an embarrassment on both sides of the English Channel,” Ha! Ha! What a jolly joke! Two weeks ago, a lunatic fringe, which has organized to prevent the scientific experiments on animals, announced that several Mars chocolate bars had been laced with rat poison as a protest against the Mars company financing various animal experiments. After two days and some 10 million Mars bars were removed from store shelves, a member of the organization declared that the entire story was a hoax to draw attention to the chocolate company’s involvement in the science game. Ha! Ha!

Gun ban
triggers outcry
When
Pinedale, Wyoming mayor Bill Hout proposed and eventually passed a bylaw prohibiting people from taking guns into the town’s three taverns, he did not realize how many people would be affected. Well, nobody really cares, do they? Tell the citizens of Pinedale that. They don’t like the bylaw at all. Although the proposal was passed in the town council on Nov. 5, one councilman who is vehemently opposed, has raised the town’s ire, and he plans to change it. Apparently, people have been walking into the bars with guns strapped to their waists, and Mayor Hout has stated that “alcohol and guns don’t mix.” I wonder where he’s been? The proposal should have been passed a long time ago. After all, it is 1984 in

not a puppet!
Publicity is a strange commodity. Give a person, or a group of persons, some “good ink” and they heap praise on you and consider you a buddy. But heaven forbid, make a few negative comments and all of a sudden you’re a nonperson, not worth the shoes you’re standing in. A perfect case in point of this phenomenon is the fluctuating attitudes of certain persons involved with Conestoga’s athletic department. When the sports reporters were covering the successful Condor golf and soccer teams and revelling in their accomplishments, we were often told we were “doing a great job.” However, after the Nov. 19 edition of Spoke carried story that was critical of the (iismal performances of the hockey Condors. ..well, that “just wasn’t good journalism.” It is apparent that these certain individuals are under the misconception that Spoke is a mouthpiece for the athletic department. Specifically, if the Condors win, we’re supposed to set the story in three inch headlines and proclaim to the world that Conestoga is God’s gift to sports. But if they lose, the story should run only one or two sentences, or be dismissed altogether.
Hogwash! Spoke never has been or never will be in cahoots with the athletic department’s P.R. personnel. Every sports reporter’s job is to give an accurate and fair account of the game which he is assigned to cover. The Spoke staff member was criticized for being “too negative” about Conestoga’s humiliating 17-4 loss to Georgian College on Oct. 31. How on earth can you be positive and honest at the same time after such a drubbing? The only positive thing about the game was that they didn’t lose 17-0. The athletic department people who were displeased with the remarks made in the Nov. 19 issue were instructed to voice their complaints in a letter to the editor, which we at Spoke would gladly print. To date, we have received no such correspondence. Maybe if the hockey team wants some “good ink” they shouldn’t write letters, but take a more direct route-win a game now and then. t u u * j * editor John Robertson,

The famous Mr. T plays the role of B.A. Baracus on the popular show The A-Team. Before that, he played Sylvester Stallone’s scary boxing opponent in Rocky III. More recently, he played a do-gooder in the television movie: The Toughest Man In The World. His do-gooder role passes on into his Mr. T cartoons where he tells his viewers the right things to do. In reality, is Mr. T a do-gooder or is he just a good actor? According to his two brothers and three sisters, his new autobiography, Mr. T: The Man With The Gold, is a complete lie.

CASUAL TALK
Christmas time brings good wine by Mary Jane Rahn
m
Well hello again. I not sure if perhaps 1 shouldn’t be wishing you a Merry Christmas as that seems to be the
commercial message these days. But
I think its’ a bit just say hello. Have you though, since we’re on the topic of Christmas, noticed that the Christmas spirit is upon us? Like it or not, the Kitchener-Waterloo Santa Claus parade has come and gone and the city streets are already decked out in holiday gear. As well, one of the local nurseries has a display of 25,000 Christmas Poinsettia plants, which by the way, are beatiful if you have a chance to see them. I really hate to agree with the majority, especially those over 40 who tend to relish the thought of being Scrooges, but it does certainly seem that Christmas is upon us earlier and earlier with each passing year. Now, I’m not saying this is necessarily bad, for indeed I think it’s nice to fill the hearts of people with a little Christmas cheer, but after all, it’s still November and the snow has

guess the true indication of the encroaching yuletide is undoubtedly the shopping plazas. As of Dec. 1 they will leave their doors open in the evening so cheery shoppers can shop their little hearts out. If you detect a note of sarcasm, in my words, it’s because there is a note of sarcasm in my words. To me, there is no poorer example of the hypocracy of the Christmas spirit than that seen in the Christmas shopper. Now, I’m not talking about those of us who go out each year with our gift list and limited budget. I’m talking about the people who begin their Christmas shopping with the Boxing Day sales and continue until Christmas Eve. These are the shoppers who, around mid-November, get downright pushy. If they’re not pushing shopping carts, they’re pushing baby buggies. And if they’re not pushing buggies, they’re pushing walkers. And if they’re not pushing walkers, they’re pushing each other.

But amidst all the hustle and bustle ot the oncoming Christmas season springs forth one tiny drop of cheer, which, inspite of its early arrival and short lifespan, still bears the stamp of approval and brings out the Christmas spirit in everyone. No, I’m not talking about the spirit of giving or anything hokey like that; I’m talking about the spirit Beaujolais Nouveau or Camay Nouveau, the Canadian rendition of the French “Nectar of the Gods.” Perhaps you heard about it on the radio, or maybe you’re one of the lucky few who found it in one of the two liquor stores in this area offering it. Well, if you found it congratulations. If you missed it, tough luck, you’ll have to wait until next year. But believe me, it’s worth the wait. As one who remained a virgin to it until this year, I can assure you there is a great pleasure in popping the cork and dispersing the fruity red wine in which you are about to imbibe. Oh, and what a pleasure it is. At the risk of sounding dramatic, I must describe this year’s wine as one of remarkable vintage. Beaujolais Nouveau and Camay Nouveau are so called because the wines have only been aged for a short time. The result is a very fruity, yet tart, dry wine which teases the senses and starts the mouth watering. And Beaujolais Nouveau is fun. Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or an amateur wino, Beaujolais Nouveau offers the recipient a chance to get drunk with style. You might say that the nectar could make Madeira turn pale and the comparative difference would be that of the gourmet and the gourmand. But I offer no excuse for my description of the “Nectar of the Gods,” because you’re supposed to carry on that way after you’ve tasted it. You might say it’s the yuppy thing to do - which is good enough reason for me not to do lead to an it. However, this whole discussion does at least opportunity to discuss what a Yuppy really is. Let me begin by saying that a Yuppy takes on the recognizable characteristics of a Preppie but with an air of maturity. Therefore, you really should be at least 26 years-of-age before you can acutally be a Yuppy. This is not to say that a 24-year-old can not have all the makings of a Yuppy, however, he or she lacks the necessary aging process which provides the weathered look. Consequently, the 24-year-old can really only be a Yuppy In Training or as they are more commonly known. guess the technical definition of a Yuppy is a young, urban, professional, person. He might better be described however, as the type of person who drives a Pontiac Phoenix, and if met at a stop-light, turns toward your car and smiles as if a bug just flew into his mouth. At this point you’ll likely notice his glasses are attached to his head with colourful strings which match his argyle sweater and silk tie. Everything about him will be of the latest fashion and he will be found in the dictionary under the word trendy. But you won’t find him under the word casual because if there’s one thing a Yuppy isn’t capable of, it’s Casual Talk.

He took the slug in the belly. He folded up like a travel alarm clock and hit the ground. As redness spread across his camouflaged shirt, his thoughts turned to the hours when careful strategies were mapped out and discussed among friends. His
now-shattered hopes and dreams lay in pieces on the ground.
He was a loser in the survival game DATE: Sunday, July 29/84 TIME: 8: 20 a.m. PLACE: Larry’s backyard, Oshawa It’s-a beautiful Sunday morning. The sun is shining brightly, the temperature is 20 degrees and there is a hint of a breeze. The opening ceremoof

Knotted stomachs and tense muscles provoke some into talking too much; other do not speak at all. Even drinking a few beers does little to relax them.

teams or green teams. All members of each team must wear an armband of their designated color. The play takes place in a large field (actually a well-forested area) clearly marked by a colored ribbon. The indicated area is about a block-and-a-half long and about 300 feet wide. None of the participants may step outside the marked border. Each player is issued a C02 powered air pistol, safety goggles, a map of the playing field, camouflage face grease and 40 paint pellets. The paint pellets are marble-sized, hollow wax balls filled with a water-soluble vegetable dye. The air guns have a ten-shot
magazine, but another pellet can only be put into the chamber by operating a boltaction loading mechanism, a process that takes several valuable seconds in the field. Each team is given a flag to be placed in clearly marked areas at opposite ends of the playing field. Each team’s colored flag is hung on a piece of rope strung between two trees and marked by a colored ribbon. The flag is fastened to the rope by a Velcro fastener. The object of the game is to capture the opposing team’s flag and carry it back to friendly

by John Robertson
years ago on one of those CHCH-TV hockey Globe and Mail’s Dick Beddoes was raking Pittsburgh’s general manager Eddie Johnston over the coals. The reason? No, it wasn’t because Pittsburgh had played poorly, in fact they had beaten the Leafs that night. What Beddoes was attacking the befuddled Johnston about was the name of the Pittsburgh hockey club. ..the Penguins. Beddoes accurately pointed out that a penguin was an awkward little creature.

It waddles around in the cold and easy prey for lumbering walruses. A penguin, Beddoes concluded, is hardly a suitable symbol for a hockey club. Which brings me to my point.. why, in heaven’s name, are Conestoga’s athletic teams called the Condors? Isn’t that name just as ridiculous 9 s the Penguins? Being somewhat of an investigative journalist, I began my search for the culprit, who so many years ago put this lamentable label on Conestoga.

why
Conestoga’s athletic teams are called the Condors?” I asked. “I don’t have any idea,” said Paula. “Dan Young (the athletics co-ordinator) is the one you should talk to about that.” Unfortunately, Mr. Young wasn’t in at the time and I was forced to spend another long, dreary weekend wondering what masochistic person came up with the name “Condors.” I simply refuse to accept the idea that since the first three letters in the word “Conestoga” are “c-o-n”, that Mr. X took the name Condor because it has a similar pattern. Why is “Condors” so atrocious?- Well, for one reason, the poor bird is almost extinct in North America. Latest counts estimate that only about 30 of the Gymnogyps californianus (California condor) are left on this continent. Futhermore, most of the remaining Condors in

According to my favorite ornithologist, Olin Seqall Pettinger, Jr., the condor is an ugly bird. It has “an orange or yellow bald head, black feathers, and a grotesque hooked beak.” The condor doesn’t do much mating, either. The average female lays only one egg every two years.
