graduate from Conestoga College in the future. John Bonesteel, the new registrar at Conestoga, said the Board of Governors made the decision to institute the

convocation Vee. He said there was little student input. “It was an economic decision and any debate would have been just that, a debate,” he said.
As of September 1985 all incoming students as well as all second- and third-year returning students will be expected to pay the fee when

Students returning to Conestoga this fall likely face a mad rush to find some sort of much-needed shelter. For many students, rooms, houses, and apartments are as scarce as four leaf clovers and as an ounce

There are many ways about finding a place

for the school year. Apartment rental agencies such as Homelocators and Rent-A-Way regularly advertise in the classified sections of newspapers and offer their services to students for an average fee of $35. However, this fee does not guarantee the student of a place to stay but pays for
services rendered by the com-
pany.
Bob Perkes, franchise Kitchener Komelocators, said that he usually gets anywhere from 400 to 500 students registered with his business. “Twenty-five per cent of them are Conestoga students,” he said. Homelocators carries listings of apartments, townhouses, houses and rooms. Many Conestoga students, Perkes said, tend to find places in the Preston area of Cambridge. “Twenty per cent

“But Cambridge is more in terms of rent. Most of the students that do move to Cambridge have auto-
reasonable
mobiles as well,” he added. The general rule of thumb is that the sooner the student begins to look for some form of residence, the better his or her chances are of finding one.
At Conestoga, a list of available rooms and apartments is available upon request from Myrna Nicholas in the student services office. Students are advised upon receipt of the list, to go out and check out the places listed. “We are basically just a vacancy listing service. It’s up to the student to inspect the places,” said Rick Casey, a counsellor in student services. As with Homelocators and Rent-A-Way, the college provides listings for all types of dwellings. The list, as of mid-July, contained 84 dwellings. Of those, 47 were rooms with
facilities available, 17 listings for room and board, 16 were for apartments

Censorship raises issues Much has been written lately but little has been done about the excessive powers of the Ontario Film Review Board. Set up by the Tory government under Bill Davis to replace the Ontario Censor Board, this small body of reviewers determines what Ontarians can or cannot see in the way of motion pictures and video cassettes. In the year ending in March, 1984, the board viewed more than 2,300 movies, banning 22 outright and ordering 136 to be edited before they could be shown. This does not include the board’s control of videos shown in the privacy of one’s own home. Through all this a question arises. What right does a small body of censors have to determine what an entire province can or cannot see? Admittedly, there has been a great deal of gratuitous and needless sex and violence removed from movies, but what about allowing the individual the power to make the choice of what he or she

to see? Ontario’s rookie Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations, Monte Kwinter, took one step towards abolishing the film review board a couple of weeks ago. Said Kwinter: “I don’t think a very small minority should determine what the majority should be seeing.” This stance took an abrupt turn when he was grilled by the Opposition and by the end of the question period Kwinter had completely reversed his position and publicly stated that the Ontario Film Review Board was, in fact, safe and would remain with all of its present powers intact.

September is fast approaching and any students who have never attended Conestoga before should be thinking of starting a program of preparatory exercises designed to equip the Conestoga student with the necessary survival skills. Each day the prospective student should try to park a car in several impossibly small spaces. The ability to park on vertical surfaces can also come in handy as every day about 1,500 cars squeeze into 1,200 spaces. If the prospective student feels unable to afford to buy a helmet of some sort, he or she is advised to either get used to standing up or to practise receiving blows to tbe back

Athough this may be extremely painful at first, it is good preparation for using the sinks in the Conestoga washrooms. These sinks have separate nozzles for hot and cold water at opposite sides of the sink. This would not be so bad if sinks were equipped with plugs of some sort.

small; but, perhaps bethe student-teacher relationship is strong and very positive. The student body feels the courses offered here are very good and lead to a variety of fields in the business world. Participation in campus activities is very high, as was proven by the 80% turnout for this year's election of a new president and treasurer of the Stratford Students' Association. Here, at the Stratford campus, the student body is friendly and close and we work hard to see that everyone takes part in the school campus activities. As far as pub crawls and dances go, the year would not be the same without them. This year, we had a pub crawl to New York as well as to our own pubs in Stratford. Oktoberfest in Kitchener, car rallies, scavenger hunts, a talent night, dances, and - to top it off - a ski trip to Blue Mountain, are some of the fun activities we had here at the campus and hope to have again.
