Retention rate By Max Lombardi
A project at Conestoga College is under way to help maintain the school’s impressive retention rate. First-year students throughout Conestoga College will be out surveys from now to the end of January as part of a student retention project, said Frank Abel, student retention co-ordinator. The college has had one of the three lowest drop-out rates of 22 Ontario community colleges since 1983/84, according to Bill Cleminson, director of central student services. Although recent figures were not published.

the college is still probably in the top three. The student retention program, directed by Rick Casey, is a significant attack on college withdrawals, Cleminson said. It began in June 1986. What the project does is survey students about their programs and life situations at various times in their first year at the college, Abel said.

The program must have a desire to intervene. One of the most co-operative programs in that respect has been the food and beverage program at Waterloo campus. “I don’t think the project at this stage has had any impact on the retention rate,” Abel said.

We don’t seem to care and don’t attend games. Some people may say the games are not exciting. Not so. The games with Penn State have been close with 3-2, 5-3, 5-4 scores and great plays by both sides. Unfortunately Varsity hockey is not the only victim of the lack of fan interest. All other varsity sports have had low attendance. This is a shame because there are some good, perhaps even great, athletes playing on the teams, and as several coaches have mentioned, the players appreciate fan
support and would like to see more interest. Some excuses are: Too much work; students are here only for an education; it doesn’t involve school at all and “I have better things to do with my time.” These are the same people who will drink or party in their spare time or end up with heart attacks from stress from working too hard in their later years (the work habit picked up from their early years including college). It doesn’t involve education but supporting varsity athletics events allows a person to escape a hard day’s drudgery and spend several hours letting off steam. Varsity sports teaches us to enjoy athletics and to act as team, a team whose common goal is to help the team on the floor or the ice or the court to play harder (so as not to disappoint the fans). This college has students who are so apathetic that when they leave the school, they almost invariably forget the school because all they have to identify with are pubs and work. Obviously, limited remembrances of school are left. Let’s start showing some school spirit and start attending some of the varsity events. You will enjoy them. Trust me.

ries.
“We were retracing a trip that was taken by
Sir John Franklin in 1820-21,” Goddard explained as he pointed out the route on a large map of Northern Canada on his office wall. Prior to
Goddard’s journey, that route had not been taken by any Canadian group since Franklin. Goddard and other crew members were thrilled to spot several of Franklin’s camp sites in the massive Arctic refrigerator and read Franklin’s journals as the excursions progressed. “We would often spot animals in the same basic area that they’d spotted animals, camp in the very same spot that they’d camped, curse the same portages that they had trouble with.”

there is no such thing as a textbook an3rwhere.” Goddard’s academic background relates not “one iota to Arctic history.” He has a bachelor of arts degree in sociology from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo and, of course, a diploma in business administration, from Ryerson in Toronto. He has canoed virtually all his life and experienced a kind of “natural evolution.” At the tender age of 7 months, the native of Bowmanville, Ont., was a passenger in a boat for the first time. “My parents took me because they didn’t understand why a baby should stop them from taking a canoe trip,” he said. Growing up near a couple of small rivers in the southern Ontario town of 5,000 people, the youngster had dreams that would come true some day. He floated in rafts that he built and pretended to be in the Arctic. A true lover of oarsmanship will reach a point in his “evolution” when flat water becomes passe and rivers are sought, Goddard recounted. Thus, the next step is to longer rivers with more rapids. Ultimately, the

Vaction. Side one has a good rocking beat with some interesting lyrics in songs such as Dude. For song, that from example, “Cruised into a bar on the shore. Her picture graced the grime on the door ”. Side two is more of an experimental venture for the band. They use some old ’40s style blues sound with a lot of harmonica and guitar stints in Hangman Jury, and recreate an old Beatles tune I’m Down, quite effectively. In the song The Movie the group dabbles in heavy metal and ties it in with ovm driving sound. their Another song that stands out
the slow dance crowd is Angel. Since Steven Tyler has quit using drugs, the band seemingly has new energy to wTite songs which the public wants to hear.

Conestoga’s defensive statistics:
15 goals against in a 13-game schedule, a miniscule goalsagainst average of 1.15, and a remarkable five shutouts, four of them back-to-back. You may credit this fine set of numbers to defencemen Giulio
Mior and Steve Doneghy and the goaltending tandem of Dirk Kerbs and Joe Resendes. In 1987, it wasn’t just the defence that was impressive, but also the offence. At the start of the season, Johnstone predicted the team would not be a high-scoring squad. The Condors responded to that by showing Johnstone
they could score goals by the bunches.
