He said the first job facing the new president and vice-president will be the selection of a new DSA executive this week.

Shortage of typewriters Conestoga College students at the Doon campus are having difficulty finding typewriters to use within the college during the day. Nicholas, of student services, said that her office has received a number of

However, as every student knows, the heavy flow of traffic on Homer Watson can make for annoying traffic jams at the beginning and end of each Doon campus day. “Cars become backed up on the 401 off-ramp leading to the college.

College requests apology People are beginning to wonder just what type of people we have in this college in recent light of the slander printed on someone’s locker. The person who wrote this had the gall to say on the locker, “leave the country or lampshade.” The person who wrote this not only damaged the property of the college, but also the reputation of the college and also insulted the morals of the students. Some people who are from foreign countries have even become worried quite possibly because they face this a lot in their own

Noone’s songs by Stephen Hodgson Suffering from jet-lag and nursing a sore throat, Peter Noone still looked like the happiest guy in the world Thurs., April 4 at Lulu’s Roadhouse in Kitchener.

Held over by popular demand for a second week, Noone played to a near capacity crowd. His blond hair, blue eyes and gleaming white teeth, had the female members of the audience crunched in front of the stage.

Noone (The Herman of Herman’s Hermits), performed many of Herman’s Hermits hits, including: Something Tells Me I’m Into Something

Good, What A Wonderful World This Would Be, Mrs. Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter and There’s A Kind Of Hush All Over The World Tonight.

Henry The VIII was the highlight of the show as the audience followed Noone’s cues and yelled out H-E-N-RY.

With Noone’s happy-golucky style on stage, its no wonder he was held over. Noone left Herman’s Hermits in 1971 when he made a record with David Bowie, entitled Oh You Pretty Thing. It made the Top 10 in England. “I thought it’s much more interesting to try and do new things all the time rather than be Herman the rest of my life. So I figured I would become Peter Noone.” ‘Tt was a big risk because

and lots of money for Herman’s Hermits to get back together again,” Noone said. He added it’s doubtful they’ll ever be back together. “It makes more sense for me to try and do it on my own. It’s more creatively stimulating.” Two members of Herman’s lots

The second soft song is One More Night, a tune which everyone who listens to radio knows by now. One More Night takes off where Against All Odds ended. The song also reflects Collin’s marital problems, a theme which isn’t as evident in this effort as it was ... I Must Be Going and Face Value. Side two begins with another upbeat tune.

win the

’85 pennant? by Mark Uliana

The Major League Baseball season is in full swing these it’s time to take a look at how the four divisions

days, so

might shape up. First, the National League East. The New York Mets should overtake the Chicago Cubs this year, thanks to Gary Carter. Carter was traded to New York from Montreal. In return, the Expos received catcher Mike Fitzgerald, third baseman-shortstop Hubie Brooks, and minor leaguers Hubie Winningham and Floyd Youmans. Last year Carter hit .294 with 27 homers and 106 RBI’s. The Mets pitching staff, lead by 20-year-old Dwight Gooden is solid. Keith Hernandez, George Foster and Darrell Strawberry, along with Carter, should supply more than enough runs to win the pennant this year. The Chicago Cubs also have a very legitimate shot at winning the pennant. They have one of the best pitching staffs in the National League with Rick Sutcliffe, Steve Trout, Dennis Eckersley and Scott Sanderson. The Philadelphia Phillies should claim third spot in the division. The Phillies have a new manager in John Felske. Their pitching staff is questionable, with Steve Carlton turning 40, and starter John Denny may not yet be over last year’s arm problem. The St. Louis Cardinals made two major off-season trades, dealing George Hendrick to Pittsburgh for pitcher John Tudor and sending four players to San Francisco for Jack Clark. The Cards just don’t have the hitting, and the best they will do is fourth. The Pittsburgh Pirates strengthened their offensive punch during the off-season by acquiring George Hendrick from the Cardinals and Steve Kemp from the New York Yankees. That should be enough to edge out the Montreal

Expos for fifth place. The Expos, with new manager Buck Rodgers, are rebuilding this season. In the National League West, I am picking the San Diego Padres to repeat as division winners. Look for the Houston Astros to finish second. They have moved the outfield fences in at the Astrodome. This should greatly improve Houstons’ overall home run total of only 79 last year. They have two good veteran pitchers in Joe Niekro and Nolan Ryan. If they can stay healthy, Houston should give San Diego a good race for the pennant. Relief pitcher Bruce Sutter should be a big help in Atlanta this season, but the Braves don’t have the starting pitchers or enough big hitters to win the pennant.

Manager Tommy Lasorda has problems

at first and third base this year as well as the catching position. Catcher Steve Yeager is now 36, and had only 4 homers last year,

while Mike Scioscia had one more than him with 5. The Dodgers are going to need more hitting from their catchers, but just don’t have al the tools necessary to win this division.

Player-manager, Pete Rose will make the Cincinnati this year. Rose will be trying to break Ty Cobb’s record of 4,191 hits. He needs 95. The San Francisco Giants have nothing, and will finish

Reds respectable

where they did last year, in last place. There is no way that the Detroit Tigers will begin the season again with 35 wins and only 5 losses in their first 40 games. Their pitching is not as good as the Blue Jays, so the Tigers will be looking at second place this season. Ricky Henderson will be a big plus for the New York

Yankees

this season, and if Don Mattingly and Dave Winfield can come up with another big season, the Yakees could win this division. The Boston Red Sox also have a legitimate shot at winning the pennant. The Baltimore Orioles signed free agent Fred Lynn in the off-season. The Orioles would easily win the pennant in the western division, but unfortunately for them, they are in the toughest division in baseball, and will have to settle for fifth place.

The Cleveland Indians have made numerous changes. They are not that bad of a ball club, but they will finish sixth

in the di-

vision.

The Kansas City Royals should repeat as the American League West champions, but only after edging out the Chicago White Sox. The rest of the division is a toss-up, but I’m predicting California, Minnesota, Oakland, Seattle and Texas. Yes baseball fans, this season the World Series will be coming to Canada. The Toronto Blue Jays will defeat the San Diego Padres in six games for the world championship. Remember, you heard it here first.
