album, Girl You Know It’s True. There are many different stories floating around about how this hoax came about. Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus (Milli Vanilli) say that they were tricked by their producer and thought they would be singing on the album. According to the duo, it was after they demanded to sing on their follow-up album, that was suppose to be released in January 1991, that they were fired by Farian. Morvan and Pilatus also insisted that their record company, Arista, knew about the sham but did nothing about it. Arista claims they knew nothing about it and that the secret was kept between Farian,

Probably the most irratating thing about Milli Vanilli is that they were accepted openly by the music industry. Unlike most soda-pop bands, however, Milli Vanilli were accepted, if not respected by the music industry. The J uno and the Grammy they received proves this

Of course with all the studio tricks, a producer could probably make a donkey sound good. So, Morvan and Pilatus will sound good enough for the fans to forgive them and catapult them to more

All he does is complain and cry about being the next player out of Toronto. Who needs a liability like that? Some people might argue that they go to see the teams the Leafs play. Then go see them once, but don’t make it a habit. Leaf fans, stay away from the rink. Living in Ontario, that’s the only team some people get to watch.

Frank Farian (who proved on Meatloaf’s failed but enjoyable comeback album, Blind Before I Stop, that he is not only a great producer but also a great singer) will probably suffer the most from this controversy.

Dear Pat:

My problem is that think am going to be kicked out of school. My child has been sick lately so missed a lot of time. missed some time when got upset about my family situation. I’m also separated. My teachers keep telling me to get to school and don’t want to let them down or annoy them. The truth is that I’m behind in two subjects already and don’t know if can get caught up. can’t promise to be here every single day. don’t know what to say when they bring it up. keep thinking that any day now, someone will just walk up and say, “OK, that’s it. You’re out.” Then what do do? am sponsored by CEIC and have no other income. I

Dear Worried:

The college’s commitment to you as a student is far stronger than that. You are wanted here and we want you to succeed. Attendance regulations for CEIC sponsored students are clearly laid out in The Student Handbook, page 23. Any dismissal would be preceded by a formal warning and would be carefully considered in consultation with CEIC. It is not arbitrary or punitive. You will need to keep up with the work and your teachers can advise you about what you have missed. Be honest with them about your academic concerns. Peer tutoring is available through student services to help you with difficult subjects. If you have personal, financial, family or child care worries that are getting you down, please feel free to come in and see a counsellor. That service is confidential. Pat.
