for cars!

With irreverent pedestrians roaming the streets, drivers have more to watch out for than just traffic signs and signals.

Pedestrians are supposed to have the right-of-way, but if they keep abusing this right, accidents will continue to happen. Too many pedestrians believe that drivers should have the sole responsibility to watch out for them, but it is also the pedestrian’s responsibility to be aware of traffic. All too often, drivers are blamed entirely for accidents involving pedestrians or children on bikes. Losing six demerit points isn’t just a minor penalty. While sitting on the bus and watching a careless pedestrian chase after a cigarette dropped on the road, I imagined the possible accident that could have occurred. The pedestrian was crossing at the lights, which changed to red before the person could get the cigarette. The pedestrian still persisted in retrieving the cigarette even though traffic was proceeding through the intersection. When the first car approached, the driver had to swerve, narrowly missing the pedestrian, who had knelt down on the road to get the cigarette. Had an accident occurred, the pedestrian definitely would have suffered severe head injuries and possibly permanent brain damage or paralysis. The driver probably would have been charged with some traffic violation even though the pedestrian was entirely at fault. A major accident involving other cars from behind and in the next lane could also have resulted. As it turned out, the pedestrian was lucky just to suffer

A second example of distasteful modern English is “interface,” used as a verb. How many times have you scanned the help wanted columns and read something along the lines of “the successful candidate will inter”? face with support staff to There is a tendency upon reading this to imagine yourself as an appliance being plugged into a wall. I would be much more comfortable with words like “communicate” or “deal with.” .

Another modern hybrid is the computer systems expression “user friendly.” My first instinct is to say, “yes. I’ll be using it, and I’m friendly.” Later, when the system breaks down, and two hours of work are lost, I feel “user nasty.” Too often “user friendly” is a setup for disap-

pointment. Occasionally, I console myself with the idea that English is a functional, constantly changing communications system, meant to be used, not admired. I try to use “careful caution” (Alexander Haig, U.S. statesman) to

downsize the way that newfangled jargon impacts my confidence factor.

As a final note, I will buy a beer for the first person who finds guestimate in a dictionary. Just bring the dictionary, and a copy of this column, to the Spoke office and ask for wait, I take that back. I’ve just found it myself. Guess I’d better interface .

The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is available for students from lower or lower-middle income backgrounds. Tuition, compulsory fees, books, supplies, personal living expenses and local transportation are standard allowances considered under the

program. The program

signed to supplement, but^not to replace, the resources of the student and his or her family. OSAP assistance can be in the form of a ^ant, a loan, or both. A grant is not repayable unless the student drops out of his program, or financial circumstances improve appreciably, or an error has been made in calculating the grant. A loan is interest-free until six months after a recipient completes full-time studies. He or she is then expected to begin

repayment.

Applications for OSAP are available at all Conestoga College campus locations and at the Awards Office on the Doon campus, where the applications are edited and forwarded to the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. Processing time takes approximately six to eight weeks. The deadline for applying for OSAP is 90 days before the end of the applicant’s program, but applying as soon as possible increases the chance of acceptance.
