Magic I heard a nasty rumour the other day that Santa Claus has retired permanently. Please don’t be alarmed. Like I said, it is just a rumour. The story I heard was that Santa is

disillusioned. He is feeling unimportant and unappreciated. He thinks that if things don’t change soon, he will go the way of Puff the Magic Dragon or the Tooth Fairy.

somewhat

The problem, according to Santa, is that kids today are losing the magic: the magic to believe in things wild and wondrous. Unless it blinks, winks, flashes, pops, wheezes or bangs, kids don’t seem interested.

The magic to believe in Santa comes from inside. The magic to believe that Rudolph’s red nose will lead the way, that Santa will enjoy the cookies and milk left for him and that if you’re good there will be presents under the tree for you. Kids today are getting more and more sophisticated, perhaps even cynical. Their imagination seems stilted and their curiousity lax. Have we advanced so far that we only accept what we see? Have we been so foolish as to teach our children to accept only what we believe? What happened to looking beyond that which is real to a place where many wonderful things are possible?

Wrestlers laugh while fools hand over cash By Randy Hicks So-called professional wrestling has the biggest overnight farcical ripoff since the pet rock. The success of wrestling supports the old adage that

become

well enough.

Wrestling used to be home for old, washed-up boxers as portrayed in the book. Requiem for a Heavyweight. At the end of their careers, boxers, broke from wasting their money and with no training or qualifications for real jobs, would don a mask and call themselves the Masked Marvel, or some other pseudonym to hide their real identities.

Once-proud fighters risked their integrity by jumping in another ring to be laughed at by wrestling fans. In the last few years, people have changed their standards in heroes. Wrestlers are stUl people who are no longer qualiRed to box, or never were

qualified. But instead of being the butt of public scorn, wrestlers are accepted and even worshipped as hero figures.

In a little more than three years, wrestling has gone from a bad joke enjoyed by the beer-guzzling, dirty t-shirt,

illiterate,

armchair-athlete

crowd to an acceptable norm enjoyed by people from all walks of life. The reason for the success of wrestling is not that it has turned from idiot play-acting into a real sport; wrestling owes its popularity to an outrageous amount of media hype that includes endorsements from big name rock stars (Cyndi Lauper) and Hollywood celebrities (Mr. T. does that stand for television-moron?). We owe this multi-million dollar public deception to, more than anyone, wrestling promoter Vince McMahon. McMahon, president of Titan Sports Inc. of Greenwich, Conn., is responsible for turning the World Wrestling Feder-

ation (WWF), an enterprise which he inherited from his father and grandfather, into big business. One of McMahon’s decisions was to incorporate rock music into wrestling. He felt he could take the same fans who were screaming at Def Leppard and

other headbangers and bring them to wrestling matches to watch more heads get banged. This was a successful bid by McMahon to increase the scope of wrestling. Before McMahon, wrestling was a small regional affair. Now, McMahon has three weekly syndicated shows on 190 stations in Canada and the U.S., and more than 800 shows performed annually by his band of goons. Every month, the newsstands are filled with wrestling magazines. The

Although Hogan’s salary is not entirely typical of the salary of most wrestlers, the average wrestler earns $800,000 a year. That is a healthy chunk of pay for people who, without wrestling, would probably only be qualified to

As an example, Attfield said this program would be ideal for a member of the farm community who left school at an early age to work on the farm and, because of present and future economic conditions, has to find other employment. Attfield stressed that farmers aren’t the only people who might lack basic math, reading and writing skills; there is a suprisingly large per 6ent of other Canadians as well. “A lot of adults lack the basic

If a band has four or five members, and one of them is having a bad day, then the rest of the band can carry a performance. But with only

two members, he said, you always have to be in sync. The advantage that outweighs the problems posed in a two-person band, said Gallop, is that there is only two ways to split the pay cheque.

SPORTS Condors drop hard-fought By Dave

Millea

The hockey Condors put on an impressive performance for

interim head coach Dan

Young, but it wasn’t enough as they were edged 5-4 by the Sheridan Bruins at the recreation centre Dec. 3.

The first period, however, belonged to Sheridan. The Condors were killing penalties for most of the period and were outshot 22-3, but the play of goalie Ken Bezruki was phenomenal as he made some brilliant saves to keep the score 1-0 Sheridan after 20 minutes.

Both teams ran into penalty problems in the second period. There was a span of six minutes when there were five Bruins and four Condors in the penalty boxes at once. Conestoga tied the game on a goal by Dunlop with help from Dave Petteplace and Hunking as the score was 2-2 after 40 minutes. Sheridan scored three goals in the third period, one on a breakaway. With the score 5-3, Karl Ball scored on a broken play to move the Condors to within one goal of tieing Sheridan.

With two minutes left in the Conestoga was awarded a penalty shot because a Sheridan defender had closed his hand on the puck when it was in the crease. Dunlop took the
