Occupational health nurse Mariis preparing information packages for faculty members that deal with date and acquaintance rape in their course curricula. Pamphlets for the packages are being obtained from different sources, including the Waterloo regional police. In August, Officer David Perchaluk delivered some pamphlets to Health Services at the Doon campus. Fischer said she hopes to have the packages distributed by Sept. 1. “Any faculty (member) who wants a package, and wasn’t given one, may get one,” Fischer said. “We’re using a different approach this year,” said Jack Fletcher, chair of Student Services. “We have a lyn Fischer

A common complaint about previous videos was that they only showed a female point of view and made males appear like the “bad guys.” The video will be available at

She also said it is difficult to get students involved with issues such as date rape. And that last year, a number of ideas did not work as well as planned.

The open-forum idea was dropped for this year because of last year’s poor attendance. “I don’t laiow what else I can do, but we’ll do the best we can (to educate people about this issue),” Boertien said.

She added, “It has to be an ongoing education thing. I never really became aware of it until recently,

fourth, they played the first-place

team, Durham, in the semi-finals lost. Then they won against Loyalist and wound up with the

and

bronze medal. Bortein said the team showed character from the

midway point in

the schedule. “After beginning the

season in a slump, the team came together, performing well in league tournaplay and in the

OCAA

ment,” said Bortein. Pitching and defence were weak points for the team last year, with a number of girls being moved to various positions. The team expects better pitching this season because of the recruiting of Rhonda

McNicol from Stratford and Annette Macleod from Owen Sound. The team’s strengths, said Bortein,

came from

its

offensive pro-

duction and the ability to

work

together as a team. “I was impressed with the way the girls pulled together at the beginning of the year

and turned things around,”

said Bortein.

Six veterans are returning to this year’s team,

among them Marlene

Ford, who provides the Condors with a strong bat and good defence,

and Jen Vanderzwaag, a four-year ^veteran who gives the team leadership and versatility through pitching or by playing first base.

Bortein expects the team to finish two when the season

He said a common misconception among people is that athletics has to

Instead, he stresses the ideas of

“healthy lifestyles” and “active

Shadd said people should find a sport or activity they enjoy, whether it be tossing balls, lifting weights or simple, regular walking. “If people find an activity they like, they will sdck with it,” he said. He said he is buoyed by faculty members and staff who use the recreadon centre facilities and who encourage their students and co-workers to do likewise.
