She advised that the contract be sent to the association’s laywer, as well as Jack Williams, director of finance and adminstrative operations at Conestoga College. The GSA is not bound by any contract signed by a previous association, said Taves, and therefore the agreement can be declared null and void. He said .

recently piloted an ultralight aircraft across Canada to heighten awareness of the potential of disabled persons. Hiebert, confined to a wheelchair, is a three-time winner of the London to Paris (Ontario) air rally. Following his address to the graduates he received

the honorary Conestoga College Shield, bearing the college’s coat of arms. Graduates, in addition to receiving documents, wore the college Liripipe, a red velvet band trimmed with gold and worn over the left shoulder to recognize attainment of excellence and to signify readiness to enter a vocation. The Liripipe originated in the 15th Century, the renaissance period of great artists, scholars and explorers. The Liripipe, a longer version of the present

The slighting is very modest and is usually put into one vague phrase. The phrase is heard in coffee shops of glimmering shopping malls, at tea-time when ladies gather to escape another boring day of Valium, magazines and housework, and in hushed, pious churches where one man tells a populace of his interpetation of God’s word. The phrase is spoken with bent brow and grimmacing jowls. The phrase I anfi referring to is, “The kids of- today”. I didn’t walk five miles to catch a bus in order to walk 15 miles to catch a train that took two hours to get to school. My lavatory did not have a copy of the local newspaper where the spool of toilet tissue should have been and I didn’t have to work over-time so the family could own numerous cottages up north. I too have suffered. I had to listen to my parents argue about various situations and I had to learn about life from school and other not-so-reliable sources while working. Most of all I suffered a confusion called adolescence, which is learning to cope with my parents’ world. Numerous textbooks say that this period of life is the hardest stage in a person’s development. I wonder if “in your day” it was the case that if you weren’t wearing

Question of the

Did you feel that if you didn’t have a microwave, dishwasher and stereo when you were married that you were depriving your family of the “necessities” in life which marked you as a success? Did you have to compete with thousands of people with college diplomas to get a good job that wasn’t out there? And were you bombarded with advertisements that told you that living a beer comerciai is considered to be normal? I may talk funny, Ma and Pa, but “awesome” means “groovy” and “nerd” means“‘square.” Maybe Van Halen is not like Elvis Presley, but at least they’re filmed below the waist. If we dress funny and different, why do the clothes in grandma’s and grandpa’s picture look vaguely familiar? My generation did not invent the A-bomb, we did not invent theft, rape, prostitution, drugs, racism, and war; they were already here. Why would people say, “I’d hate to be growing up today”? Does the pressure of today’s society on adolesence scare you? It scares me. By the way, “kids” are baby goats. ygci-y Qg Souza

parking lines on the ground, he said, they just park where ever they want to. Often they end up parking in rows of three instead of two so the car in the middle gets blocked in, said Gilberds.

Students also park in the roadways around the parking lots which forces drivers to drive on the sidewalk, Gilberds said. One year, people were actually parking on the sidewalk. (Jilberds said he ticketed 17 cars for the offence and some of the drivers came into the security office to ask why they were fined. When cars are left in the parking lot overnight, sometimes the snowplows have to go around them and leave piles of snow in places where other people would normally park.

Jon Cooper, Mike Pityn and Jeff Trask, all third-year mechanical engineering technology students, were the winners in the alcohol awareness week scavenger hunt. The team had four days to collect such objects as a pink flamingo and a

Bruce Springsteen concert ticket.

Cooper, Pityn, and Trask each received a $10 gift certificate from Sam the Record

Man. The team stressed that the win was a complete effort of the mechanical engineering class and that they had a lot of help from their friends. They said their win was guaranteed because they won the most points for the best and most original item brought in: a red antique gas pump. All the items brought in had to be put in a red box.

You’re going to have to get involved in a contact sport.” After hearing this, friend and I went down to the gym and we started boxing,” said Lewis. Lewis has lost few fights since then.

Conestoga College has possibly the best superheavyweight fighter in the world and he is unknown and virtually starving on an in-

adequate government grant.

Lennox Lewis, a 21-yearold Kitchener resident, is the only Canadian to ever win the world amateur junior

super-heavyweight championship. He won the title at 17 against a Cuban fighter. In 1988, in the summer

Olympics in Seoul Korea, Lewis will be competing for a gold medal for Canada. This will be his second attempt at Olympic gold. In 1984 Lewis lost to American fighter Tyrell Biggs. To reach the Olympics in 1988, Lewis needs $81,900 a

He has the talent, the drive and a winning instinct. Now he needs some financial help to bring home a gold for Canada. To raise this money, the Lennox Lewis 1988 Olympic Gold trust fund has been set up at the Toronto Dominion Bank in the Eastgate square at Web^r and Ottawa streets in Kitchener. There are also plans for Lennox Lewis fight posters and autograph sessions to raise money.
