said.
The changes are to include assurances that college faculty, administration, support staff and students will be admitted to college councils, and boards of governors. An alteration in the Ontario Council of Regents criteria for the college policy analysis will aid Sorbara in his choice of additional process changes. Finally, the enlistment of a Colleges
Collective Bargaining Commission will test the effectiveness of current collective negotiations processes within the colleges.
The changes follow recommendations offered in a report on college governance in Ontario delivered to the ministry

the amount stolen will total $1000 or less. This does not include damages that may have resulted from the theft. Angst said that they were approximately 2000 persons in the building at the time of the theft.
Constable David Rhodes investigated the scene and found that there was tracks in the snow leading from an exit door at the back of the room to the 401 highway. No arrests have been made at this time. Further investigation will continue by a detective from Angst’s devision.

The council will continue to appoint external members to boards of governors, bargain with union staff and establish the conditions of employment for non-union staff. As well, Sorbara has implemented a collective bargaining commission to examine the existing legislation concerning the bargaining rights of parttime college employees, the news release said. A single-person task force is to deliver the final report by the end of this year. The report is to examine: possible changes in procedure for future collective bargaining negotiation than allowed for in the Colleges Collective Bargaining Act, 1975; alterations in who arbitrates the negotiations; changes in the process of and what new negotiation; legislative restrictions should be included in future collective agreements between the colleges

Well, another football season is gone. But does that mean the end of watching sports broadcasts on television? Of course not. There may not be any earth-crunching, helmet-slamming football games but there is still the good old game of hockey. It will take a little while to adjust to the quicker paced action of a hockey game, but in the long run, you will probably enjoy the game just as much as football, if not
more.
Speed is the one aspect of hockey that football lacks. During a hockey game, you have to be concentrating fully on watching the game, or you’ll miss a goal. That’s how fast a game it is! Players can move the puck over 100 feet in less
than five seconds.
Imagine skaters travelling at about 25 miles per hour or more. Have you ever seen that in a football game? Heck no, in football we watch big slow men walk up to another bunch of big men. They pick up the ball and throw or run with it for a few yards. Where is the quick bang-bang play as in hockey? Another great aspect of hockey is the relative lack of stoppages in play. The clock only stops for a smothered puck, a puck travelling over the glass or a penalty. This really keeps the game moving. Again comparing to football, have you ever tried to count the endless ways

The administration building is also easily accessible as it is directly across from the centre toward the roadway. At present, approximately 160 day students and approximately 220 night students shuffle back and forth between the ECE centre and the main campus building for classes in room 2A59.

Libber. This time Smith based his story on anonymous interviews (who can say whether they are real or not) with a chauvinist pig and a hardcore feminist. The anonymous chauvinist was a beer-guzzling chain smoker who wore the initials MCP on his shirt. “She supplied my spending money, kept my tank full of gas and always came across when I felt like having sex. Now it’s clear and simple, that’s the way it’s
supposed to happen,’’ said MCP. The feminist stared at a Playgirl centrefold during the interview with Smith and sat with a purse on her lap bearing a sticker with a picture of a bra and the caption, “don’t burn it, beat them to death with it! ” “Sex is important, but I want to be able to take the initiative sometimes and if a guy expects me to lay there and tell him how great he is, he’s got the

plays a
lot of
Kim
Mitchell, but more because of a mutual interest in his music than the novelty of Neely’s likeness. Neely is often stopped on the street or at concerts by people wanting his autograph or just a chance to talk to the “superstar.” And, said Neely, he
almost always tells them they are mistaken. He recalled one incident in a
record store when a 12-year-old
boy insisted that Neely autograph an album for him. He tried to explain that he really wasn’t Kim Mitchell causing the youth to start to cry. The tears moved Neely to impersonate Mitchell long enough to sign the boy’s album. Neely has met Mitchell several times, and has even appeared on stage with him. Neely said Mitchell just “didn’t think there were two people who were as ugly as him.”
Looking like a star is “kind of exhilarating,” but a little scary, said Neely. And, if he ever gets sick of being Mitchell’s double, he plans to cut his hair.
There are no serious musical ambitions for this look-a-like, though. He enjoys playing with the band a couple of times a week, but he admitted rather shyly that the homegrown talent night was the first time he had ever performed in front of anybody.
Crews are behind pub success By Deanna
Boon campus, being the main
campus of Conestoga College, holds the majority of on-campus pubs featuring beginner bands, starter bands, and homegrown contests. Part of the success of the pubs, on campus and off campus, can be attributed to the entertainment crew. A group of five men who are responsible for the scheduling of the entertainment, clear the tables out of the stage area, set up the stage, and to move the
band equipment. Apart from all of

Derby Dawg’s band wins Derby Dawg and The Hairbrained Scheme walked away with $150 and first prize in the band category at Conestoga College’s Homegrown Talent Night held in the Boon campus cafeteria on Jan. 21. The group was led by Chris Derry, a first-year journalism student at the college, and also included a part-time (Conestoga student from the Waterloo campus, drummer Tom Melnychuk. Derry said that their winning performance of Midnight Hour, No Sugar Tonight/Mo^ther Nature written by the Guess Who, and Not Fade Away/Bo Diddley was the first time that the whole band ever played together. A last minute cancellation forced Derry to find replacement guitarist Rob Nowack. The other members of the band were Paul and Steve Breen.

“Many sports like hockey encourage kids to go out and beat each other up. We don’t. We emphasize safety. It is important to teach people to have respect for each other,” said tournament chairman Jake Klaus. Klaus is the head instructor at the K-W Karate and Fitness centre in Waterloo. He has had a 15-year involvement with Karate and is the holder of a third-degree blackbelt.
Klaus said he was happy with the turnout for the tournament because the poor weather, but said he initially expected more people.
