of Indiana has asked Hasbro Industries to stop distributing a doll which is labelled as an “extreme paranoid schizophrenic” out to spy on G.I. Joe. The Association claims that the label reinforces misconceptions about mentally ill people. How right they are. The doll, Zartan the Enemy, has been sold across Canada this year. Hasbro Industries Inc. of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, has apologized for the wording and said it would delete the phrase

about schizophrenia from future products. The company, however, would not recall dolls already shipped. Any company, especially one which specializes in toys, which could market, construct and distribute a doll which is “paranoid and schizophrenic” obviously has something wrong somewhere. The doll actually has printed on it the following: “Psychological profile: extreme paranoid schizophrenic. Grows into various multiple personalities to such an extent that the original personality becomes buried and forgotten.” Paul Messplay, executive director of the Mental Health Association of Indiana, said that “the distribution of this toy reinforces the public’s misconception about the mentally ill because it depicts the toy as a person who is violent in nature. This is not true of the mentally ill. Only a small percentage evei cause harm or destruction.” It seems obvious that Hasbro employees, especially the developers of the toy, should be recalled, not the doll.
Dear Ms. Rahn, In your recent article “What makes a woman a lady?”, you
went on
to
accuse your mother
of not being a lady.
Though we
have never met your mother, we are shocked and disturbed that you would publicly deface her character.
You
also state that you don’t consider anyone of college age
as a lady or gentleman. We know many young ladies or gentlemen who would certainly
prove your theory wrong.
We
personally feel insulted taken aback by these accusations. Any one of us would gladly hold a door, or give up our seats for any
and
must be
jinxed!
India is a jinxed country, no doubt about it. Let’s examine the evidence. Indira Gandhi is brutally assassinated by her own guards. This murder throws a nation of 750 million people into anarchy with religious murders being
commonplace. A Union Carbide plant leaks tons of deadly cyanide gas into a crowded slum. Thousands are dead, thousands more are dying, and those who are “lucky” enough to live may suffer digestive, liver, or circulatory damage for the remainder of their miserable lives. Those grave examples have just occurred recently. In the last 10 years, India has suffered famines, droughts, fires, earthquakes and tidal waves that have put casualty numbers in the six-figure range. Can there be any doubt of a jinx? A country that has suffered the plights of India should be a reminder to the news media in the west not to use hyperbole to describe relatively-minor catastrophes in Europe and North America. Let’s face it. A hotel fire that kills 150 in Kansas City doesn’t even really compare to India’s regular rash of disasters.
Mulroney not a bad guy The federal government has ordered $100,000 worth of work for 24 Sussex Dr. and Brian Mulroney has been defending himself ever since. According to Monique Lortie, a spokesman for the Public Works Department, the money is being spent on painting and wall repairs, carpets, electrical work, mill work, plumbing and flooring. Lortie said the building was not in good condition. But when $100,000 is being spent, the public gets a little nervous. Rumors were thaj a whirlpool bath and a satellite dish
were part of the renovations. Mulroney told reporters that professional engineers estimated a cost of $600,000 for renovations to eliminate fire hazards. Doesn’t $100,000 look like a measly amount in comparison? Spokesman Bill Fox said Mulroney did have a hot tub installed at 24 Sussex Dr., but at his own expense, along with a satellite dish located at the prime minister’s summer home at Harrington
Lake.
Fox said Public Works even offered to pay for the satellite dish but “they were told quite directly and absolutely that no, it would not be paid for out of the public purse.” Maybe Mulroney is not such a bad guy after
all.
According to your Webster’s definition, we meet all of your criteria, and then some. As for your mother, let us
remember the old story of Eliza Doolittle, who went from living in the streets to the high-brow,

the OSAP kings and queens seen to drift through the hallways on a bi-weekly basis. These apparitions are able to ring the OSAP till with virtuoso-like ability. Always just on the verge of failing, these maestros of misappropriation are the ones that breathlessly ask, after a two week absence, “Have I missed anything?” I know of one case of someone who has been told that they’ve failed everything. They’re finished, yet still this ethereal being shows up a couple of times a month, wasting teachers time and becoming a source of wonder-
ment and irritation to classmates. This is akin to being fired from a job for chronic absenteeism and continuing to sporadically report for work. We need some Ghostbusters to exorcise these ectoplasmic irritants from the building or be haunted forever by them. Paul Webb

also have guessed, I was there only be and not be and not because I wanted to be. Mind you, I went into the building with an open mind but alas, I believe in the equality of men and women and not the superiority or sob stories of either. I think what really disappointed me was the quality of the entire evening. The singer, Arlene Mantle, although having toured with Bruce Cockburn, was at best mediocre. The discussions about pro lesbianism, pro abortion, pro trade-unionism, and pro women, were repetative and worn out. And, admittedly, as someone who was there, accompanied by four men; well, we didn’t like their attitude and they didn’t like ours. I would like to stress again however, that I am not putting these women libbers down, for they do have some valid points. But I do not agree with all their thoughts and ideals just as I don’t agree with the thoughts and ideals of male chauvanists such as Tim La Haye, who spoke last week at Conestoga College. In fact, being of the female gendre, men such as he, bother me far more than a bunch of grown women dressed as flower children. Tim La Haye spoke to 800 men and women who agreed with his philosophy that women should be subservient to men. That is deplorable in my opinion and a ridiculous attitude for anyone to have in 1984. What’s disgusting is women (or more rightly jellyfish) agreed with this chauvanist. What’s even more disgusting is this man is married to a submissive woman who backs him up in his If I may be so bold as tO’ stress the point, I do so by asking what right does a man have to control a woman or for that matter, control another man? In fact what right does any adult have to dominate any other adult? I think it all boils down to an issue of human rights and not one of men’s or women’s rights. Well, I’ve blown it. Here I am a professed converser in Casual Talk, getting caught up in a political-type discussion one wouldn’t likely get into at the bus stop. But this was your Christmas present because I’m too cheap to buy Christmas gifts. So Merry Christmas and maybe I’ll see you under the mistletoe. You’ll recognize me; I’ll be the one engaged in Casual Talk.

Take last night for example. I went to a jazz concert put on by the Dave Young Trio near Waterloo Park. The instruments included a grand piano, guitar, and bass. The performers, Wrag Downes, Reg Schweigger, and Dave Young, put on a splendid concert and it turned out to be an enjoyable evening (which at 12 bucks a shot, it should

Record reviews Nazareth scores success

by Janet Kelly Nazareth’s new Gold MounA&M release, The Catch, is yet another addition to the groups long list of entertaining tain/
and successful albums The reason why, after 14 years and 17 albums, Nazareth is still on top, is obvious, especially to a real Nazareth fan. The group’s style and their albums reflect their own love for good time rock ‘n’ roll.
Although the style of music The Catch is definitely Nazareth’s, it does seem to have softened slightly. But for a group with the longevity of Nazareth, changing with the times is not only natural, it’s in

recording techniques most rock bands oppose. Despite the changes that Nathat
zareth has made over the years, their music always has been and will continue to be great party music. This is emphasized in The Catch’s first track song. Party Down. Nazareth’s often reworks other people’s hits in their own unique style. On The Catch, they sing a faster version of the Beatles’ hit. Ruby Tuesday. Perhaps their most successful use of another’s song was Love Hurts. This single has sold over four million copies and managed to bring Nazareth to a wider and more varied audience. Love Hurts was one of Nazareth’s slowerpaced, ballad-type songs. The Catch’s ballad-type songs include Love of Freedom and Road To Nowhere, a story about a hopeless relationship (Thank you for the good times we’ve had in the past, but we’re both old enough to know good times don’t last). The Catch’s longer, hard rock style songs include This Month’s lieve In Us.

Drinking games have always been a rage on college

always knowing how to effectively handle them, so Gregory taught two two-hour Student Stress Workshops, held Dec. 11 and 13. “One of the most stressful things about school is -that you don’t have control over a lot of things that happen,

Unlike other Conestoga games this season, the first minutes of the game did not have an adverse effect on the outcome. In earlier games, the Condors trailed early, and their opponents never looked back on their way to victory.

Both young and old, male and female members of the college have bothered to fill out an entry form and wait for each weekend’s results. To date, no one has won twice this season. Coincidence? One likes to think it’s becasuse of the tough competition both within the NFL and the college. Spoke organizers of the pool remain undecided whether the pool has remained popular because of the hectic season or whether the fact that pub tickets have b.een in such high demand as of late. In any event, our new pool, the NHL one, appears in this issue. Hopefully with your co-operation this will be come a success as well.
