Neighbor’s complaint launches confusion By Andrea DeMeer
A local resident who recently complained about the post-pub behavior of some Conestoga students has gotten some pubgoers worried and some other neighbors baffled.
The homeowner complained students were drinking
that
along Doon Valley Drive after leaving the pub, using offensive language and making enough noise to wake people up.
However, some other residents of Doon Valley Drive said that they haven’t heard anything after pub nights, and can’t imagine what there is to
complain about. Kitchener transit officials said there has been unruly behavior on the last bus to leave the college on pub nights. However, records from the Waterloo regional police indicate there are no serious problems in the Doon Valley Drive area that can be connected
with pub nights.
“The
college does nothing to harm us at all,” said Connie Grimm, whose house is closest to both main entrances to the College. The Grimms have
been on Doon Valley Drive longer than the college has, and Grimm can recall only one incident a couple of years ago
where noise was a problem. “We certainly have not been wakened,” she said.
A couple doors down the road, Mrs. Kaye Gates, a part-time student at the college, said that she hears a lot of noise and commotion after See Complaint, page 4

Punishing teens liquor control board. Or are you? raising the drinking age, the government will be discriminating against the responsible adult teens under the age of 21. The age of majority should not be meant to punish all young adults for alcohol abuse. Alcohol abuse is not a new issue and certainly isn’t limited to people under 21. By raising the drinking age, the government offers an incentive for under-age drinking. It will mean two more years for teenagers to find achallenge and excitement. After a person reaches the legal drinking age, all the fun of breaking the rules is over. There will no longer be the excitement of trying to get away without getting caught.

By
The best way for the government to increase under-age drinking would be to raise the legal drinking age. What would stop a teenager, who wants to go into bars, from using someone else’s identification or a false age-of-majority card? People don’t become mature, responsible adults overnight. Some people don’t even reach adulthood. If a teenager does not mature by the time he or she reaches 19, who is to presume that there will be any hope by the time they turn 21? The concern for alcohol abuse shouldn’t be based on age. It should be based on alcohol awareness, and the effects that alcohol can have on

Retirement age should be a personal choice By Deanna Bail At what age a person
retires should
be a matter of personal choice and
abil-
ity.
No passengers on
a plane
would
feel
safe during a flight if they saw the pilot wheeled into the cockpit with a shawl over his legs, a head that he couldn’t hold up, a face full of crevices, glasses as thick as the bottoms of pop bottles,
and a nurse at his side. However, there are some jobs
in the
work force
that our so-called elderly can perform. For the sake of this article, elderly will refer to people 65 years of age and over.
Construction workers, carpenters, teachers, doctors and lawyers do not lose their physical or mental ability upon turning 65. There are people who look forward to the day they can retire, and some who look forward to early retirement. Some life insurance companies are offering their clients the opportunity to subscribe to an early retirement plan, helping them to retire as early as age 50.
The benefit of early retirement is having the ability to do things that you have wanted to do, when you have the capability of doing them, without a nurse at your side. The drawback to early retirement is boredom, and perhaps the inability to return to the work force if you choose to do so. Elderly people who choose to return to the workforce may encounter problems. They may even find that they are unsuitable for the image that a particular company wishes to present to the public.
Once back in the work force, the elderly may have to face a wide variety of attitudes which stretch from being considered a bumbling old poop who is only to be tolerated, to being shoved on a shelf somewhere, to being talked
down
to.
However, the picture is not always this bleak. There still exist those companies which feel having older people on staff
is
to their
advantage,
and which treat the elderly as useful, knowledgeable employees.
According
September
to Statistics 1986,
from
a
Canada, for total
work
force of 4,886,000 people in Ontario, the number of unemployed was 325,000 or 6.6 per cent. The total number actively participating in the workforce was 4,561,000 or 68.1 per cent. This leaves 25.3 per cent unaccounted for on the employment scale, whether that be on welfare, disability or retire-
ment.
Assuming that approximately half of these people are retired, that leaves more than 325,000 people collecting pensions of one kind or another. Compared to the number of people who are working, there should be no difficulty in our supporting them. People in their early and mid-20s should also realize they will be responsible for supporting the largest number of retired people. The result of this realization should bring around a rethinking of mandatory retirement. Perhaps some government incentives are needed for those who choose to retire later in life.
This would not only take some the pressures off supporting the elderly but would give the elderly a chance to prove they are still a productive force in society.
The government would save money taken from the Canada Pension Plan, as fewer may choose to retire at 65, and the government would receive income from those who choose to continue working. The questions which arise from this concept are: where do we draw the line? Who has the right to continue working and who doesn’t? Will we into the trap of discrimination? Will
fall
we
be endangering people unneccessarily?
A person who turns 65 does not suddenly become a non-person, someone old and decrepit, who cannot think or comprehend situations, who is set in a wheelchair and placed on public display.
People 65 and over still have a lot to contribute to society, and if they choose to continue working should be permitted to do so.

The 14 male students who rent a house across from the college disagreed, however. Salvatore Scarpelli, a journalism student, asked, “Are we aware of the noise?” “We make the noise,” he answered. Scarpelli said that about nine of the 14 students attend pub nights regularly, and then continue the party back at the house. Scarpelli’s landlady, Barbara Waque, lives next door to the students.

Rob Adams, an electronics engineering and technology student, said that it would be too bad the behavior of a few persons prompted pub cancellations.
Hunking said he is concerned that the problem is being blown out of proportion. “I believe there is a legitimate complaint,” he said, but it is also an isolated incident. There’s nothing that the DSA or the college can do to control a student’s behavior off school property, said Hunking. Last year he received a complaint

Annual Reebok-Q107 aerobathon a success OCAA
By Dee Atchison The Reebok-Ql07 second annual aerobathon, a fund-raiser held by the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA), was a success not only for the organizers, but for the participants too.
The aerobathon fund-raiser, held Oct. 24 at Humber College, drew about 300 staff and students from nine Ontario colleges.
Twelve were from Conestoga College, including Wendy Walker, a graduate of the recreational leadership program, and Elizabeth MaskWessel, fitness consultant at the Conestoga Recreation Centre.

The 53 participants from George Brown College won the Reebok-Ql07 cup, given annually to the college that raises the most money in pledges. George Brown College participants raised approximately $3,000. Conestoga College participants raised approximately $ 1 000 ,
.
Half the money raised by each college will go to the
to cover any expenses incurred throughout the year. The other half will go to each college’s student athletic association to help cover the cost of various varsity activities.
“I think it was a success, regardless of how much money was raised. I talked to the kids and after (the aerobathon) they had fun,” Fagen said. He added, however, that he was ‘‘a little disappointed that Humber College, the host College, only had 25 (participants)

Kearns said there are 11 players with previous college hockey experience, which includes six returnees from last year. “Ken (Bezruki) is our returning starting goaltender for now.
