PC
club denied representation
Conestoga College’s disputed Progressive Conservative Association was not allowed to send voting delegates to the Nov. 16 Ontario Conservative leadership convention.
The PC party’s credentials committee overturned a previous decision which would have allowed Conestoga’s and seven other college clubs to each send three voting delegates to the convention. Two clubs will be allowed to send delegates. Supporters of leadership
candidate Larry Grossman launched a protest when the clubs were originally approved. Susan Elliot, a Grossman campaign aide, said all 48 club delegates supported Dennis Timbrell. Elliot said most clubs were

Parade too early Why does Kitehener-Waterloo bother holding a Santa Claus parade? It certainly doesn’t seem worthwhile. This year’s, its 25th, was held on a rainy, cold Nov. 9. To me this date seems a trifle early to hold a Santa Claus parade. I was not in the mood to hear bands march by playing, “Santa Claus is coming to town,” as I stood there in the pouring rain, with Santa not scheduled to arrive for over a month. Terry Kratz, co-chairman of the parade, and a member of the Kitehener-Waterloo Jaycees (sponsors of the parade), said the organizers went all out this year to create a “very special” parade. Not in my opinion. At least four of the floats I saw were exactly the same as, or re-cycled versions of, ones I had previously seen in the Thanksgiving-Oktoberfest parade. These were: the Cabbage Patch Kid float, sponsored by HiWay Market; and elephant float, sponsored by Zehrs; the University of Waterloo float, which had been re-decorated in the Christmas spirit; and the Hans float, to which a moustache and beard had been added. Of course, all of the famous celebrities in their VIP cars were in the parade. These included Kitchener mayor Don Cardillo and Waterloo mayor Marjorie Carroll. But what I don’t understand is, what is the purpose of a Hostess Munchie driving a 570 CHYM car followed by another 570 CHYM car with a chicken driving it? The City of Kitchener had Santa’s Express bus and the Downtown bus driving in the parade. Is that all their imaginations could come up with? All of the marchers were absolutely drenched when they marched by. And, three of the bands were not playing when they reached my spot. Granted, the best float in the parade was a live camel followed by the three wise men. But this failed to relieve the dampness of the day, the disappointment with the floats and the earliness of the overall event. For heaven’s sake there isn’t any snow on the ground yet!

fundamentalist religion, i.e. Ernest Angley, Jimmy Swaggart, Peter Popoff, the 700 Club and the Pentecostal Church. Now, I’ve never had too much against these people. I think people have a right to believe what they want, as long as they don’t hurt

fundamentalists get something

long as they don’t try to force others into those beliefs or condemn them because they don’t subscribe to the

Unfortunately, according to the W-5 show, it seems they do condemn non-followers. In fact, they remind loyal followers (on a regular basis)
not only that the rest of society is evil, but that they themselves are sinners. Personally, the fundamentalist ap-
proach was never for me. I admit Ilike to be uplifted by religion and not reminded on a continual basis that God is going to get me, or as Peter Popoff says, that God’s going to burn my barley fields. Call me oldfashioned, but the Christian principles I grew up with centred on love and respect, not fear. I’m sure those who follow the
fundamentalist approach honestly believe in what they preach. Certain-
In
one of the W-5 interviews, a

Those interviewed talked about being psychologically burned by the fundamentalist beliefs; many were depressed, some suicidal. One woman told how depressing it was to continually be reminded that society was evil. Obviously, in some cases the commandment ‘Love thy neighbor as theyself’ has been restricted to neighbors who subscribe to your beliefs. Clearly, the biggest attraction to the fundamentalist beliefs is that followers

It is a sad commentary on society when people allow another member of the human race to control their innermost thoughts and beliefs like puppets on a string.
