the public’s attention within the past year and a half and is something fairly new,” said Fischer. “However, the virus itself has been around before that. It’s just that we have found the means to recognize it.” AIDS is generally diagnosed through blood testing. If AIDS virus antibodies are found in a someone’s blood, it does not necessarily mean that the person has AIDS or will go on to develop AIDS, or is immune to AIDS. It simply means that at one time in the past the virus has entered the person’s blood

system. “Blood testing is detection. Tests (include) a white blood cell count,” said Fischer. If a person is tested positive, it means he probably has the AIDS virus in his blood and other body fluids, such as mucus. The afflicted person can pass the virus to others through sexual contact. He may pass the virus on through his giving blood in one form or another.

Five steps to success or failure By Dan

Schiller

Success versus failure seemed

be the backbone of a lecture given to the third-year management studies class, to

Brian O’Heron, regional branch manager of the Equitable Life Insurance Co., and a member of the advisory committee for the business management course, delivered the 45 to

minute lecture that seemed have a grip over the students

“What will cause some of you to fail is frustration.” Lack of planning, lack of organization and not using time wisely are

what “make you feel bad.” O’Heron said that our mind

responsible for all this. It is so powerful that it leads up to an

idea. It “talks” you into things.

Even though most students attentive, O’Heron speculated that only a few would have a chance at being successful in life. “Most of you will forget about 90 per cent of what you

step in the right direc-

tion.

Success, according

O’Heron, can be broken up into five categories, which can be done in order, or in a reverse

order.

The first major step towards success is production. O’Heron said people who put forth a good product, and work hard at are the ones who will it, succeed. “Those who get up and start work early, or work at night, will succeed.” The second step on the ladder to success is motivation. Motivation affects production.

“Have you ever thought that you don’t want to go to school because you feel a little sickyou become sick.” He went on by saying up to 85 per cent of adults have to be told how, when, where, why and what to do. They all want direction.

He said only 15 per cent can find themselves, and be successful. O’Heron sees sales and management as a form of success. “It is a small minority that can be

know how much you would read?” O’Heron has a formula for figuring out a yearly salary. He said it is statistically very accurate. It is a person’s effort times his talent times his

opportunity. For each one O’Heron said to rate yourself from 1-10, then multiply out the numbers and add two zeros. An example of a successful person

was a rating

of 10 for effort, 10 for talent and 10 for making use of opportunities. The salary worked out to be $100,000 a

year.

However, since Nov. 1, 1985, Red Cross and other facilities have been testing blood for the

As the child will come in direct contact with the infected blood, it is automatically taken into the child’s own blood system.

never share intravenous

“You

can’t knock the negative things people are saying about blood transfusions. But if it’s a life and death situation, how can you not have a transfusion?” questioned Fischer.

People are now tending to give blood to be stored in the event they might need it. However, blood banks, hospitals, and other facilities are refusing to do this unless the donor is scheduled for surgery. In this case, the donor must give blood several weeks before the surgery to allow the body to replenish the blood that

photographer Dave Burcsik came up with the idea. The Cutie (on page three) was similar to the Sunshine Girl featured by the then new Toronto Sun, but they wore

clothes for the photos.

Because of the new feature, letters were sent to Spoke from the female contingent of Conestoga College appealing for photos of male models. Following is a letter published in the Oct. 17, 1977 Spoke:

“Dear

“In the first issue of Spoke, I wrote that anyone was welcome to come into the Spoke office with any ideas for the paper. The idea of the Conestoga Cutie was discussed and Dave Burcsik took on the task of photographing the cutie for the rest of the year. If

file.

Leslie Wiegand, a 19-year-old second-year journalism student and a People in Profile photographer, posed for the first photo under the new name. She pleaded for males to be profiled in the feature and said the reason why males were unwilling to pose was fear of ribbing from their friends.

“I think they are afraid of being razzed by their friends, but now that we have changed the name I see nothing wrong with it,” said Wiegand.

Wiegand got her wish with a photo of Doug Kennedy, a first-year business student standing on his head in the same issue. The idea of People in Profile quickly died and the Cuties were brought back for a brief stay in the form of Rachel, a 19-year-old first-year broadcasting student with the Oct. 2, 1979 Spoke. After Rachel two issues went by without Cuties, before Brenda, a second-year journalism student posed as the last Cutie to grace the pages of Conestoga for the Nov. 6, 1979 Spoke.

dents, O’Heron said there are five vital factors involved. The first personal factor a company will look at, is your character and honesty. “Do not try and bullshit your way

through life, it will catch up with you later, it did with Reagan.” The second factor which a company may look for, is your intelligence. O’Heron said there are tests which show how logical

person

and comprehensive a is.

The third factor is energy and charisma. It is important to be enthusiastic and eager about a new job.

The fourth factor is your achievement drive. A company likes to know what you do with your spare time. The fifth, and most important factor, is your motivation to help others. Helping others rather than being self-centered, will always win out in the long run. O’Heron said

that

overall

“you should concentrate on success.” He used the example of a baseball player with a batting average of 300. In the professional league that is an excellent average. It means one hit out of every 3 times at bat. But a professional player doesn’t look at the seven he missed, but rather at the three he

hit.
