One of every 20 students at the Doon Campus of Conestoga College does not know who the Prime Minister of Canada is, according
to a recent survey. In the random survey of 100 students, which asked them to name various political lead-

as the country’s leader.
Ontario Premier Frank Miller was named as PM by three students, while Quebec Premier Rene Levesque and former Ontario premier Bill Davis received one vote each. Davis also got the nod from 13 students asked to name the premier of Ontario - a question which resulted in only 69 per cent responding with Miller. Other answers offered as On-

Closer to home, the political awareness wasn’t much better. Asked to name the president of Conestoga College, 17 per cent correctly answered
Ken Hunter, but 12 per cent thought Doon Student Association president Dan Randall was the president of the college.
Closing out the survey was a question asking students what the acronym NATO stands for. Here, only 15 per cent correctly responded with North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

A good step towards keeping these high standards is the review of the curriculum system. This occurs once every three years at Conestoga.

McGee said if a female student is without a local family doctor, a prescription for the pill may be obtained. The advantages and disadvantages of the pill are discussed before a prescription is given. All students with local family doctors will be advised to see their family doctor for a prescription, however counselling is still
available.

But what really bothered me was the editor’s reply to Mike’s letter. Printed upside down, the Spoke rightfully expressed regrets for the incorrect article. The editor didn’t stop there. The Spoke reinforced its own immature, second-rate journalistic mentality by saying, “(The Spoke) hopes no lives were lost as a result (of the error)”.

Probably more stirring than ever before by treading on the ground of controversy and tackling not politics, religion, nuclear warfare or abortion, but a topic that lead me to believe, a few weeks ago that there actually was a student population. My goal is to start the student’s body’s blood boiling; to get some kind of response out of the multitude. I tried this once before with the very same topic I am to discuss now, feminism, but that which was supposed to be taken with a grain of salt, was taken too seriously and I was sought out by many of the students and faculty.

You look at that person again, scrutinizing every detail of her anatomy. She does look a little large in the shoulders, could it be because of carrying that heavy bag of letters or was she a former tight-end for the 49er’s?’’ This kind of problem did not exist a thousand years ago when the English language was much less sexist than it is today. The word ‘mann’ for example didn’t mean a male human being, but instead it meant a person of either sex. If you were talking about a male person, you said ‘wer’ (pronounced ware) and if you were talking about a female person you said ‘wyf Who knows why these unambiguous words evolved into a sexist nightmare: ‘mann’ began to mean two things, person and male person; and then some genius had to invent ‘wyfman’ which meant the same thing as ‘wyf.’ So. English ended up with one word with two meanings and two words with one meaning. Then another genius (probably his brother) gave ‘wyf’ another meaning, sometimes it meant female person, othertimes it meant spouse of a male person. (Are you keeping score? That’s 1

Well, a couple of centuries later, the nightmare ended. ‘Wyfman’ and ‘wyf now meant woman and wife, as they do now. But ‘mann’ was still stuck two centuries back, as it is today (but minus one ‘n’) and it means either male person or human being. Does this not once and for all proclaim to the world (or at least Conestoga College) that woman has no literary connection with man? It means exactly what it did a thousand years ago, female person. And for those few feminists who think history has anything to do with “his story’’ and prefer to call it “her story”, show that they are really struggling to cling to what life is left in feminism.

The tall, slender woman faced herself in the mirror with a look of determination. Breathing deeply, she rhythmically raised and lowered a pair of 30-lb. dumbbells, working her biceps. Biceps! She squeezed out the last, painful repetitions, then clanked the cast-iron dumbbells back onto the weight rack. Five years ago, this scene in a gym with a predominently male
clientele would have been unusual. Today, women’s
bodybuilding is fast becoming one of the most popular methods of getting into better physical shape. Barb Januszkiewicz, 21, is a part-time employee at Conestoga’s Waterloo campus and is preparing for her first bodybuilding contest, the Novice Ontario, which will be held in Toronto on March 9. When Januszkiewicz first joined Gold’s Gym in down-
years ago, she intended to just take aerobics classes and ride a stationary bicycle. Although she had always been active, she wasn’t as fit as she wanted
“I just decided I wanted to get in shape. My brother
suggested bodybuilding and I laughed at him,” she said. ‘T started working out (with weights), started seeing some changes, and kept at it.” She works out with weights five days a week and does some kind of aerobic exercise six to seven days a week. An average day starts with jogging or biking and then a
one-and-a-half to two-hour workout in the gym. She never works the same muscles two days in a row so they will have a chance to recover and grow larger and stronger. She varies her exercise routines to keep her interest and motivation high. ‘T am going for lean, symmetrical muscle. I want goodsized muscle but I don’t want it to look masculine, I want it to look feminine,” she said. “I

In addition to her already strenuous workouts, she now
swims at night to burn off fat. She follows a healthy diet and takes vitamin and mineral supplements. “I just try to eat really well,” she said. “I try to stay away from a lot of fat and processed foods.” Her ultimate goals are to be a professional bodybuilder and to own a gym. “When I get more experienced and better at it I’d like to help other girls and other
people with weight training, and help promote the sport in the area, because everybody has potential.”

World’s greatest sport by Frank Galfusz Thirty thousand fans are screaming, the stadium is shaking and the players are ecstatic. Is it a Stanley-Cup play-off game, a late season baseball match or maybe a Canada-Russia hockey series? No it is none of these but it is a match of the world’s favorite sport. Guessed it yet? How about players such as Liverpool’s Ian Rush, Germany’s Karl Heinz Rummenigge, now with Inter-Milan of Italy, or the greatest of them all Pele. Still don’t know? If not you are one of many sad cases in North America who are missing out on the World’s greatest sport, soccer, or football to the rest of the world. What is wrong with North Americans? The NASL, North American Soccer League, has fallen to pieces and teams such as the Toronto Blizzard, who do still exist, don’t know where they will play next year. The reason for this sorry state is the rarity of true soccer fans in North America. It seems the only real fans are European immigrants and their families while westerners watch American football, baseball, basketball and hockey. If a Canadian or American admits they love soccer they are greeted by an upturned nose and comments such as, “oh, you like that.” If a North-American travelled to Britain and said he loved baseball the likely response would be first a laugh and then “you like rounders, girls play that here.” In countries such as Germany, Itay, England and Scotland, football matches are the highlights of the week while we North-American fans are lucky to see one British
match a week on TSN. It’s enough to make me grab my Liverpool scarf and cry. Fortunately MTV, channel 47, has two fantastic soccer programs. The World Soccer Report and the Road to Wembley. The first of these two shows is hosted by Mike Povey, a Welshman and former goal-keeper, Alf de Blasis, international reporter, and Canadian reporter Gary Miller. Last year’s host Dale Barnes may be familiar to some TSN viewers as he now hosts both the British report and the weekly Soccer News. The World Soccer Report contains a large amount of British soccer news along with some Cannon league matches and a match of the day. Mike Povey speaks with either Bruce Wilson, a former Arsenal keeper, or Scotland’s Derek Johnstone, a striker for the Glasgow Rangers, each week on live telephone interviews. This Saturday program also runs down the British results of the day and gives the top six in England’s top two divisions and Scotland’s Premier division. For fans of Italian or German soccer Alf de Blasis has highlights of both these nations top divisions along with World Cup matches, the big game is in Mexico next year, and other international soccer news. Finally Gary Miller gives the Canadian report which features the fortunes of the national team, which almost won a medal in the 1984 summer Olympics, minor leagues, and indoor soccer leagues, ah blasphemy how can one confine the greatest sport to a hockey arena. The other program is the Road to Wembley. Hosted by former keeper Dick Howard and Mike Povey this great show condenses an F.A. cup match into about 45 minutes. The F.A., Football Association, Cup is the most illustrious trophy in England and is second only to winning the first division
