During the weekend of Oct. 24 and 25, the Christian

Freedom

Social Credit party (Socreds) held a policy conference in Cambridge. During the conference, it endorsed the right of citizens to carry guns.

Why? National party leader and evangelical minister Harvy Lainson told the Kitchener- Water loo Record, an armed population is the greatest single deterrent to foreign invasion.”

Lainson’s reasoning, as well as the gun policy, indicates that the Socreds should be ignored by all who consider themselves rational— those who do not should join the party.

In the unlikely event of a Soviet invasion of Canada, a handful of militants carrying guns would not put so much as a scratch on the men, tanks, missiles, ships and jets that would be thrown at Canadians. The whole of the

Are you satisfied with your course?

Canadian Armed Forces probably wouldn’t last more than a week. Lainson said that Switzerland, which hasn’t been invaded in 400 years and where the carrying of guns is legal, is proof that an armed population deters foreign invasion. Garbage. What would another nation want from Switzerland? It has little in the way of resources, hasn’t any seaports to provide transportation to the other continents, and before it became the world’s main financial centre, had a poor economy. And what general wouldwant to have his army march and fight in such mountainous terrain? Lainson also used the United States as an example because “there are guns all over the place.”. No one would even consider attacking a superpower— except another superpower, but the nuclear threat prevents that from occurring. In addition, the United States, if it is an example of Anything, should teach us that legalizing the carrying of guns would be a primitive, if not a barbaric, move.

mimick the greedy and extravagant lifestyles of their parents, in which excessive drinking is often commonplace.

At the other end of the spectrum we have the ultra-protective parents, who do their best to keep their children enclosed in an imaginary bubble, lest they be exposed to such “evil” things as alcohol. These children grow up in a physically healthy environment, but end up going crazy the first time they take a drink during the experimental adolescent years. Without any prior exposure to or guidance about alcohol,

they can’t be expected to make an intelligent decision concerning their own drinking habits. Finally, we have what can most simply be described as “jerks.” Jerks are people who know that excessive drinking is dangerous, but do it and encourage others to do it anyway. These people do not realize that their drinking affects others, and convey the message to those vulnerable to them that heavy drinking is “cool” or essential to a good time. These people create a dangerous fantasy that heavy drinking is harmless and often drag their friends and family down with them, either with the bottle or a car accident. So how are warning labels going to

help?

Perhaps they won’t serve any purpose other than to scare a few people. If nothing more, liquor-bottle warnings will serve as a sad reminder that we have lost one of our most valuable resources: common sense. Happy drinking and drive carefully.

Awareness Week at Conestoga College Doon campus. The week-long event, which begins Nov. 23, is sponsored by the Doon Student Association (DSA) and BACCHUS, a group that strives not for abstention but rather, responsible drinking behavior.

BACCHUS, meaning Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning High school, University and College Students, is named after the mythological Greek god wines and festivals.

Recreation Centre. Blenkhorn, who said he is enthusiastic about holding a concert in the centre, is planning to sponsor a motion at one of the next DSA board of directors meetings. He doesn’t predict any problems with getting it past the board, but said final approval might not be given by Mac Rostance, manager of Doon’s physical resources. “A few of the people who work here don’t think the resources^ manager will go for it,” Blenkhorn said, “because the floor of the gym is a special cushioned floor, and heels and that kind of stuff could hurt it.” Rostance was unavailable for

However, Bob Neath, manager of college recreation services, said there is no potential danger to the floor. “We have everything (events) under the sun here. We have dog shows, cat

But he added that the centre’s location could cause a problem. “I think they (the public) would rather go to the Super Skate Seven (to see a concert), since it’s a little more centrally located.” If this problem is overcome, the DSA will find that a concert in the centre is to its financial

advantage, Blenkhorn said. In the past the DSA could not make a substantial profit from the pubs held in the cafeteria without charging the students higher admittance prices than the entertainment called for. In the case of a concert in the centre, the same approximate admittance price of a pub could be charged, but the higher number of people attending would allow for a reasonable profit. The centre is capable of holding 2,100 people, while the cafeteria holds about 400. “We would also be able to get much better entertainment,” Blenkhorn added.“We could go with Kim Mitchell, Rock and

Condors lose home opener By Victor

For the Conestoga men’s varsity basketball team, it wasn’t home sweet home a 70-56 loss to St. Clair in Ontario College Athletic Association (OCAA) action Oct. 31. The Condors may credit their home-opener loss at the Kenneth E. Hunter Recreation Centre to the never-ending pressure from the St. Clair Saints. The Saints amassed a comfortable 43-26 lead by half-time.

With St. Clair grabbing the majority of their rebounds, Conestoga were unable to keep the pressure inside the Saints’ defensive zone. The Saints displayed fantastic defence, as they stalled almost every single attack by the Condors. That may be due to the fact that the Saints often forced the Condors to shoot from a

The Condors’ top scorer of the previous week, Reinhardt Burrow, was simply shut down by the tight man-to-man coverage of the Saints. Burrow generated only seven points in the game, a game that he said was not typical of the Condors’ play. For the Condors’ to get a few victories under their belt, they will have to do it on the road. Conestoga heads next week into a six-game road trip starting Nov. 4, where they will play six different colleges before returning home Dec. 10, to play against Seneca College.
