The
third year students in the Telecommunications option realised victory in their long struggle with college administration this week, when a new satellite dish was erected. The battle between the tele-
communications club and the college administration began in the spring of 1984, it reached the point where the telecom students intimated to the college they would sue the college for false advertising. Brett Carey, a third-year student and president of the telecommunications club, said the students were reaching a critical part of their course, arid the satellite dish for the satellite communications course worked very poorly. They were sold something the college apparently couldn’t offer.
‘‘There was an mechanical flaw in the design of the actuator arm of the old dish,” said Carey. What that means is
that
it
was
virtually impos-
sible to track a satellite with the old dish. It would have cost $20,000 to fix it.
The new dish was purchased
at Video Movie Man in Kitchener. Joel Liberte, treasurer of the telecom club and an installer at the VideoMovie man, was instrumental in getting a discount. The new dish cost
only $6,000. Faculty members Fraser Cooper, Hamid Mannoocheri, and George Mckenzie were invaluable when it came to the purchase of the dish, said Carey. ‘‘It seemed like the administration at the co-ordinator level

think the general attitude was that we would give up,” said
Carey. As soon as college president
Ken Hunter gave the OK for the new dish, progress was quickly made. Carey

Examples of what can be received on the dish are military satellites, seminars given by large corporations, and special educational programs.

The DSA budget included a proposal for an overall increase of 5 per cent in activity fees. Under the proposal, Doon students will pay $52.50 next
year, an increase of $2.50. The Kitchener student nursing budget increased to $37.50 from $36.00, as did the Strat-
ford nursing budget. The Guelph campus student’s association didn’t present a
pro-
posed budget because auditors weren’t done with it. Students at the Waterloo campus will pay an activity fee next year for the first time. Low enrollment at Waterloo prevented this in the past. The activity fee for Waterloo campus students will be $32.00.

cruise missile over States.
Although the group Operation Dismantle lost their court case, they plan on continuing their fight for peace. The group was caught off guard by the defence department’s short notice of the test.
Why
are the Operation Dismantle people so worried that these tests are going to kill or injure anyone? Two other tests have taken place over north-western Canada and they both went smoothly. As Canadians it is our obligated duty to aid the United States any way possible. By allowing the tests to take place over terrain that is similar to that of the Soviet Union, they will find out just how the cruise missile will work. Never during the test will any danger come to Canadians. The flight path starts at the Beaufort Sea, goes down the Mackenzie Valley area and into Cold Lake, Alberta. The flight path is less than eight kilometres from any community along the northern route. If necessary, the flight can be terminated and the missile taken over at any time by remote control. Operation Dismantle’s claim that an accident could start a nuclear war is simply ludicrous. The Soviets know where the test is taking place and if anything was to go wrong it would be treated as an accident. By testing the cruise missile we are helping the free world in its quest to remain free.

Mr. Hatfield cried the canibalistic media fiend wanted to be known forever as the man who showed us an aging premier’s corporate assets. He couldn’t prove this, but he said it anyway so people would talk about it long enough for the premier to put on some fruit of the loom. After the fiendish reporters defense broke under pressure, the RCMP was the next mast for Captain Coke to cling to before the ship went down. There’s no proof here either, just allegations that the

Then more allegations were made, this time against Highball Hatfield by four young men that claim to have snorted some New Brunswick nose candy with the paunchy prince of prescription. His highness won’t lay charges of course, because Richard Hatfield is such a nice guy. He’s so nice in fact, he doesn’t do drugs and he doesn’t prosecute people who tell lies about him that effectively assasinate his character and ruin his life. Now that all else has failed, all of Highball’s friends are saying “da big bad boys in da media are beating up on little Ritchie.” These guys must be desperate. Below all the clamor stands the golden pedestal of truth, with Richard Hatfield’s luggage resting on top. The

A few years ago a friend of mine was charged with possession of marijuana. The high school he went to was being searched for spray paint used in vandalism directed at a rival school.

said the decision
by Lulu’s owner Karl Magrid to locate in Kitchener is smarter than it first seemed. Kitchener is centrally located within a 30 mile radius there are 750,000 people and
—
within 60 miles there are 5 % million people. On a weekday, 50 to 60 per cent of the patrons are from out of town and on
weekends 70 per cent. Lulu’s was targeted to cater to a market of 25 to 40-yearolds, but it caters to a crowd of 19-45 years of age. The friendly atmosphere and the huge crowds leads patrons to make generalizations.. “It’s a meat market,” said Cindy Lewis, 20, of Guelph. “If you can’t get picked-up here on a Thursday or Satur-
day, you better get into bingo,” said Greg Martin, 24, of Kitchener.
Thursday night is ladies night and as usual the ladies get in free. And the establishment is filled to capacity with 3,016 people. Saturday night is the other big night, with a usual summer crowd of 2,500 people, and a winter crowd of 1,500 people. McKenty says the seasonal attendance drops are reflective of the proportion of out-oftown patrons that will not drive in bad winter weather. Other busy nights are when the big-name-draws perform. The reason is the non-stop entertainment. The headliner usually plays two shows, at 9 p.m. and midnight. The house band plays two sets, other warm-up groups, sometimes amateurs, play a set, and Kenney Hollis’ carny-like barking of announcements and jokes fill in the spaces. Because of the uniqueness of Lulu’s and the quality entertainment, alchohol is a bit more expensive than at your neighborhood bar. A bottle of beer is $2.50 and a bar shot $2.75. The longest bar in the world sells 400 cases of beer and 208 bottles of liquor a week. That doesn’t sound like much for a bar built in an old K-Mart store, but remember, there are eight other bars.

Looking back on the season by Frank Galfusz
NHL
Well here we are, 60 games into the schedule and at a great point to look back at the crazy and violent events of the 1984/85 season. As many of you who follow hockey closely know, some strange things have happened in the league this year. St. Louis is tops in the Norris division, Boston and the Rangers have fallen to pieces, and two coaches almost got into a fight two weeks ago.
However, some events have happened as expected, Buffalo, Washington and Edmonton are leading their divisions, Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri continue their assault on the record books and the Montreal Canadiens have continued to play as they did in the play-offs last year. But, strange or normal, the continues to stir up controversy with incidents such as Billy Smith’s stick

swinging adventures and Glen Sonmor and Nick Polano, respective coaches of Minnesota and Detroit, getting into a wrestling match that would have looked great right next to the “Masked Mauler” and “Mike the Midget.” Does the NHL need scenes such as this? Ask any red-blooded American fan and the answer would probably be yes, but us Canadians don’t want to see this kind of violence. Or do we? Let’s go back about 10 years to the Philadelphia Flyers’ Broadstreet Bullies days when Dave “the Hammer” Schultz and Mel Bridgman patrolled the ice. Coached by Fred Shero, a tough-looking coach if ever there was one, these Flyers were a rough team, and, like the violence or not, the club won two Stanley Cups. I don’t think anybody who saw the play-off matches between the Flyers and the Toronto Maple Leafs will ever forget the blood-baths found in these games. Bench-clearing brawls were common and what could three officials do about six fights at once? I can see it now, linesman John D’amico holding onto Dave “Tiger” Williams and Bridgman while Dave Schultz and Lanny Macdonald are pounding the tar out of each other.
“Now, now boys, stop
that fighting, you’re going to get
hurt.” I

About two minutes after the altercation the Leafs scored the go-ahead goal. The Maple Leaf fans gave a two minute standing ovation. Coming back to 1985 there aren’t any Broadstreet Bullies but bench clearing brawls, such as in the game between St. Louis and Toronto, Jan. 19 in Toronto, still occur much too noise.
frequently.
Tuesday’s game between Toronto and Edmonton gave us three full rounds of “boxing” between Dave Semenko of the Oilers and Bob Mcgill and Jeff Brubacher of the Toronto
Maple Leafs. After the first minor altercation Semenko and Mcgill were sent to the penalty box for four minutes each, to cool off, the second they jumped out of the box they were at it again. Linesmen have to watch out for instances such as this, but it can be difficult if play is still continuing when the players get out of the “sin bin.” At the termination of the 15 minutes in penalties after the second altercation the linesmen did come over to escort the two combatants back to their respective benches. Don “Grapes” Cherry, former coach of the Boston Bruins and now defunct Colorado Rockies, doesn’t mind a little violence in hockey. During his Hockey Night in Canada guest spots “Grapes” often comments on how the hitting has gone out of the game. I tend to agree. Whatever happened to the days of Bob Baun and Brian Glennie, when a fan could see more body-checks in one game than he sees in about five modern matches. Many hockey experts believe the game is so quick now with players such as Gretzky and Chicago’s Denis Savard, that defencemen don’t have time to line up a good stiff body-check. Like violence or not, in a fast paced action sport, such as hockey, where hitting is legal, the fighting will probably always be with us. What players and officials of the NHL don’t seem to understand is that if any person on the street did what these guys do on the ice they would be sitting in jail with assault charges probably thinking “hey I saw do what I did on Hockey Night in Canada. “All he got was five minutes.”

The Condors played the perfect spoilers as their victory over the Colts eliminated any chance they had of making the play-offs. The teams played a tight checking first period, and the score indicated this as they were knotted at 1-1 after twenty minutes. Carl Schlegel opened the scoring at 18: 42 of the first period.

Both teams were very attentive in the third period as the tight checking continued. The Condors didn’t allow the Colts many serious thrusts on net. Finally, with 1:32 remaining in the game, the Colts got the equalizer as captain Randy Taylor potted the goal. Bruce Hunking turned out to be the hero of this game as he stole the puck at the Condor blueline and out-hustled a Colt defenceman to the puck, and went in alone making no mis-
