REST IN PEACEThings come and go.Neill-Wycik is no exception. Withevery new bunch of members thatventure through its doors, someideas and institutions spring to lifeand grow while others pass away.For instance, Neill-Wycik used tohave its own FM radio station, aptly

called Wycik FM. Every room waswired to pick up the signal whichcould be broadcast from any room.Also, at one time there used to belounges at the east end of floors 15,18 and 20 where people could go tojust "hang out".Feeling crowded in a six person

tr


unit? Well, imagine having 11roomies. Yes, at one time the E andF units were one and a dozen peopleWere shoved in.

There was one bonus (ordownfall) for members in 12-personunits - a meal plan. Those luckystudents had their chow cooked forthem in the cafeteria. Num-num."Stop the presses - I'm trying tosleep." Down in the basement, in aroom across from the Steamer, was

The unique,the impractical,the outdatedand the understaffed- we've had i t all .a big printing press used by a recently defunct socialist newspaper, theClarion.The latest institution to croakhere is the building'S newspaper.Neill-Wycik has had a number ofpapers throughout the years, thefirst called The 23rd Storey. The lasteffort, The Informant, died ofapathy last year after only twoissues.The unique, the unpractical, theoutdated and the understaffed.Those are only the most famousgems to have died here.

If you have any new ideas forNeill-Wycik or would like to resurrect something from the past, feelfree.

AdministratioTHEY REPRESENT YOU Q "" ! n . :.,j '"

EaCh year we hold elections for six positions on theboard. You could be a candidate. All you need to do isdeclare yourself in the running and have a nominationform signed by 10 fellow coopers.The election is usually heldthe same day as the annualmeeting in November. If youare new to the co-op, you'llhave plenty of time to seehow things happen here.Don't feel that if you'renew you shouldn't run. Aposition on the board is not areward for the most sociallypopular person, or the mostinvolved co-oper. It is for theperson who wants to putwhatever experience andtalents possessed to work forthe good of the organization.It's a good way to developyour leadership and publicspeaking skills, meet people,and influence your community.By the way, if a seat on theboard doesn't interest you,there may be someone elsethat should be involved. So,why not give 'em a littlepush, eh?

The Board of Directorsrepresents the co-op on the officialcorporate level. It makes the majorpolicy decisions, approves budgetsand hires staff. The board is thegroup to which the staff and othercommittees look for direction.The board is comprised of 12Neill-Wycik members who areelected by the membership at the annual general meeting. They serve fora two-year term. Six positions arefilled each year, so there are alwayssix experienced m e m b ~ r on theboard, allowing for continuity ofadministration.One of the board's functions is tochoose the president of the co-op.The president, a member of theboard. is responsible for chairing

the meetings and co-ordiboard's activities with thoscommittees and the memlarge.The board meets evWednesday at 7:30 p.m.are open to all building unless otherwise specifiedcase the reason for closnounced.

If you really can't stand highfinance, you don't need to knowhow Neill-Wycik's works, but thereare two things everyone should beaware of.The first is that the co-op is nonprofit. Every cent we collect fromrents and other sources goestowards ensuring that Neill-Wycikdoesn't fall over into Gerrard Streetthis year. You pay only as much aswe need to pay the staff, the mortgage and taxes and to keep thebuilding in a reasonable state ofrepair.The second thing to know isabout paying those rents. OnSeptember first about $440,000 inrents come due. If a quarter of thatmoney doesn't show up on the first,we start losing interest on $110.000

If you don't pay your rent, or ifyou are repeatedly late, you wilireceive a series of notes in yourmail.Soon, you will get a notice statingthat the Board of Directors will beconsidering your eviction at theirnext meeting.If you don't pay and don't showup at the board meeting, you have14 days to either pay up or get out.If you have temporary financialproblems, or the OSAP isn't in, wecan help by allowing late paymentfor a short while. But, do not just

"let i t s l ide" - go to the office andsee our bookkeeper, Leanne.

These charts should help to shed some light on the finances ofyour co-op.They are pretty much self explanatory but note that the piesare of almost identical size. This is the secret of co-oping. Weonly take in as much mo ney as we need to keep the building running. The budget balances and any small surplus that maydevelop is applied to unexpected expenses or put into ourreserve fund. There is no profit being taken out of the building(that is, out of your pocket) by anyone.Expenses (1987-88) Revenue

Neill-WYcik'S management committee (ManCom) is a standing committee of the Board of Directors,responsible for most financial matters of the co-op.The committee prepares and administers the operating and capitalbudget, monitors the administrationof the hotel, accepts and reviewstimely financial reports from thestaff, monitors our investments and

appoints ManCom representativesto various other committees andfunctions.Ten members of Neill-Wycik, including the corporate treasurer,make up the committee. Other thanthe treasurer, the members areselected by ManCom and acceptedby the Board of Directors.To find out more about Man

Com, come ou t to a meeting (allmeetings at your co-op are open),inquire at the office or contact oneof the committee members. Thecommittee usually meets every otherTuesday at 7 p.m. in the cafe.

Becoming a part of the management committee - or, just attending the meetings - helps you getinvolved with and contribute toyour community. Besides, it'svaluable business experience, youget to meet lots of people and itlooks great on a resume.

The personnel committee is comprised of someone from the board, amember of the management committee and a "member-at-Iarge".

If a staff member has a beef, heor she can appeal to this committeefor action. It is also responsible forthe policies and procedures of working at Neill-Wycik.

Ren t a l arrears, the repeatednon-payment or late payment ofrent has been a long-standingproblem at Neill-Wycik. In 1980,the rental arrears committee wascreated to combat this problem. Itfirst developed an arrears policy andnow works to review and revise thepolicy and consider individual cases.

As a co-op that believes in adecision-making process, which encourages the involvement ofeveryone directly affected by thedecision, we periodically strike upcommittees to deal with currentissues. Usually anyone interestedcan get involved in these committees.Presently, we have a by-law committee that is revising our by-laws, ahuman resources commfttee tlia!' isexamining how we hire an d pay ourfull- and part-time staff and a construction committee dealing with theexpansion project.

Theseevents are organized by a group ofenthusiastic social butterflies everysummer, better known as the Orientation Committee.

Co-operationITS PRINCIPLES

N ill-Wycik is a community, not just a place to keep your stuff. As such, we havea set of guidelines - called principles - we strive to follow. They help us keepthings in focus.Open and Voluntary Membership

You must be a full-time student to be accepted into Neill-Wycik and wetry to achieve a 50-50 male to female ratio. Apart from those guidelines,anyone can become a member, regardless of social, political, ethnic orreligious affiliations.Democratic ControlM mbers elect the Board of Directors at Neill-Wycik. Any rent increase, or major policy change must be passed at a general meeting open toall members. If you have a criticism or suggestion you can express it at a

board meeting, to the staff or at a general meeting.ApoliticalNeill-WYCik doesn't take sides on the political spectrum. We will notmake donations to one political part y (unlike many private companies). Norwill we become involved in political movements for change not directlyrelated to housing. We do, however, respect any member's activities in theseareas. Non-ProfitWe ake in a certain amount of money from rents and the hotel andspend it on maintenance, staff salaries or other expenses. Anything left goesinto our reserves. There is no person or group of people who benefit if wehave a surplus. We all share in our financial successes and failures.

A Co-operative Educational Envi ronmentNeill-WYCik is not just a student bedroom. By bringing a group of people together from around the world and supplying them with private andcommunal space we hope to teach the art of co-operation.

By offering educational facilities and seminars on current issues, we hopeto teach them skills and ideas they wouldn't be exposed to in your averagehighrise.By providing opportunities for volunteering and for working (starting acomputer facility, working in the hotel, exhibiting art or being on theboard) we hope to create an environment where our members can developpersonal skills, while contributing to their residential community.14 Neill-Wycik College OWNER'S MANUALl1987-88

The co-op s Board of Directors bases its decisions onthe following ideas:Mission Statement of NelllWycik Co-operative CollegeInc.

Our mission is to provideour members and our guestswith a high-quality livingenvironment at a reasonablecost in a co-operative environment.Core Valuese a belief in co-operativeprinciples; a belief in the worth ofeach member and respectfor what each member cancontribute;e a belief that each memberhas certain, definable rightsas members and that theseterms of membership beunderstood by all members; a belief that all staff canexpect the co-operative tobe a fair employer and toact accordingly.

Our Rul'1,CODES OF BEHAVIOUR ""

TheY're your rules.Whether you were for 'em, ordidn't know they existed, they'reyour rules. The Board of Directorsis responsible for the operation ofthe co-op. The 12 directors areelected by the members to run theco-op. That's a big job, so the boardappoints committees to help withthe job and hires staff to aid withthe day-to-day operations of the coop.Essentially, you are ultimatelyresponsible. It is you who are permitting people to represent you. Ineffect, you and every other memberpass the rules and decide on thepolicies which affect the practices ofthe co-op.The rules are here because overthe years we have learned they areneeded. They are set because a majority agrees with their worth.So, if you feel there is somethingwrong or unjust, use the power ofthe members to change it, to setthings right. You don't have to actalone. But you have the duty to act.These are the rules. Read themand stick by them. In becoming amember of the co-op you are agreeing to obey them.

No violent or intimidatingbehaviour. Report any suchbehaviour to security right away andthen discuss it with the communitydevelopment co-ordinator.

They take a dim view of frivolouscomplaints but will drop like a tonof bricks on any real problems. Thesame goes for sexual harassment,verbal threats or abuse.

Intimidating behaviour also includes loud noise. Please, don't playyour stereo at full blast or too late atnight. In short, have a little consideration for others who may besleeping, studying or who may justnot like the same music you do. Don't deliberately damage co-opproperty. It is pointless and costsyou, the vandal, your maintenancedeposit plus whatever else it costs tofix what you broke.eDon't sell drugs. Drugs are illegaland you'll get caught. There are nosecrets in this building.As for booze, nothing will disen

chant your unit mates faster thanloutish behaviour under the influence. No possession of firearms or

other weapons is allowed or use ofany object as a weapon.

City of TorontoT.O. IT'S YOUR HOME

Neill-Wycik is smack in the middle of one of Canada's most vibrant cities. Torontois a centre of commerce, entertainment, industry and medical research. It encompasses the Cities of Toronto, York, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough and theBorough of East York. Enjoy.

16 Neill-Wycik College OWNER'S MANUAl/1987-88

How to get around T.O.without going brokeBuses, streetcars, etc.

You've got to get from point Ato point B. It's too far to walk, youcan't afford a cab and your bike isheaded for the scrap yard. UseToronto's public transit system.Public transit in Toronto is notmerely riding a bus. It can be a combination of taking a bus, a streetcar,a subway, or even Light RapidTransit (LRT).The Toronto Transit Commission(TTC) runs the transit system inMetropolitan Toronto. Althoughthe cost of using the system seems toincrease every year, the advantagesof using the system far outweigh thedrawbacks.The service is convenient, thesystem takes you to the outermostreaches of Scarborough, Etobicokeand North York.The nearest subway stops are atCarlton and Yonge streets (CollegeStation) and at Dundas and Yongestreets (Dundas Station, which isconnected with the Eaton Centre).The closest streetcar stop is at

Carlton and Church (southwest foreastbound and northeast for westbound).Once you've paid your fare (abuck), you're entitled to transfers soyou can hop from one bus toanother.If you plan carefully you can usethe system to get from one place toanother quickly and with as littleheadache as possible.A few final tips - if you knowyou'll be riding the system everyday,buy your tickets or tokens in bulksince this reduces the cost slightly.Or better yet, buy yourself aMetropass. It allows unlimitedtravel on the system for an entiremonth and eliminates the hassle ofcarrying a wad of tokens.Also pick up transit route maps,called Ride Guides. They're free for

the asking. The TTC also has an information service that allows you toge t information on routes,schedules, etc. Just call 393-INFOfrom 7 a.m. to 11 :30 p.m. any day.

N ill-Wycik's a busy place, what with thenew expansion and all. Why not tryout someof our facilities? Pump those muscles in theweight room or sweat it out in the sauna. Ifyou're real bored, clean up your unit. And ifyou're feeling a little uneasy about your ownsafety, talk to security. They always listen.Read on.

ExpansioONCE UPON ATIME

O nce upon a time, there was alittle kingdom called Neill-Wycik.This kingdom had a king, theKnights of the Square Table, a smallarmy and many happy villagers.

One day, the kingdom was told bythe powerful empire of the City ofToronto they did not meet the empire's minimum parking space requirement for its horses.The Knights of the Square Tablewere distressed.

"What are we going to do?" asked a knight."Let's build a parking garage,"

another knight offered.But that was too expensive andthe knights were once again distressed.One day a knight in shining ar-mour rode into town from LantanaNon-profit Consulting Agency. SirMike Labbe was his name and hebrought good news.His idea was to build a nine-

storey student village on top of atwo-storey parking garage. Thiswould provide more parking, helpsolve the student villager housingproblem and provide more facilitiesfor Neill-Wycik.

The king nodded, the knightssmiled and the villagers agreed.There was much rejoicing.This new village would provide 72parking spaces for horses, a newlarger weight room, another laundryroom, a meeting room, two sundecks, larger more comfortablelounges with entrance closets andmore kitchen cupboard space.

There would be 26 six-personunits all with larger, quieterbedrooms than the old village.Three of the units would be twostorey town houses with private entrances from McGill Street, adownstairs living area and anupstairs bedroom area.

As an added attraction, the

village would have nbachelor units with a prchen, den and bedroom.

The rest of the units woin varying shapes.All six-person units wtw o bathroomsbathtub/shower, vanity sifridges and lounges with cThe Knights of the Squformed the Construction Ahired Sir Mike to battle Army and get the $5 milliothis new village.O ff to war they went in1984.Th e Construction Armany battles and sufferedbacks.The villagers did not rejFinally, when all seememore powerful empire cGovernment of Ontariokingdom a grant, Kon vbuilder, lent some money,Army gave in and the kingthe war.

WHAT WE HAVE

Some of the facilities haveexpensive, complicated equipment. To orient new users,we have core groups for eachfacility. To use the woodshop, photo complex, exercise room, film editing room,sewing room and potterystudio, you must first contactone of these facility coregroup members (find out whoat the office or from yourfloor co-ordinator). He orshe will give you an introduction.Enjoy these facilites.

Wi t h i n the walls of NeillWycik there are lots of areas andequipment available for you to use- and, with the exception of thelaundry room, they're free.There's a television, pool table,darkroom and even a pottery room.And more. Check them out, they'rehere for you.

Rooftop PatioLet's start at the top - t he ro of .During the spring, summer and early fall, you can go up to the roof totake in the spectacular view of theToronto skyline, grab a breath of(cough) fresh air or do a little suntanning.There's even a gas barbequeavailable to sizzle up some burgers

(go to the office to make the arrangements). And we just got a couple of new picnic tables to chowdown on.The roof's open from dawn todusk, just take the stairs from the22nd floor.Speaking of the 22nd floor, take apeek around there someday, there'slots of interesting stuff.

Laundry and TelevisionThe first thing you'll discover isthe laundry room - it's right besidethe elevators. Use your key to get in.Inside - moving past the coinoperated, automatic washers anddryers - on your left you'll findanother room. It's the one with thecolour television with cable.


Sewing RoomThrough the TV room is the sew-ing room. It's got three Singer sew-ing machines and a knitting m achinefor you to use.Office and MailboxesNext to the laundry room on theother side of the elevators is the office - that's where you'll find thestaff. Outside on the wall are th emailboxes. You'll need yourmailbox key for that.Film EditingNext, you'll find the film editingroom. It's got an editing bench,moviescope, syncsound editingequipment and a 16 mm splicer.Typing RoomWhen you've got to get an assignment typed, there's an IBM Selectricand two Smith Corona typewritersinside the film editing room. Bringsome paper and a ribbon.Games RoomAt the end of the hall is the gamesroom, where you'll find a pool andping-pong table.Pottery StudioAcross from the games room isthe pottery studio. The kiln, wheels,clay and glazes are all there. Go toit.Library

Moving down the hall on the westside is the library. It doesn't compare to the Metro reference library,but there are some interestingreading materials to be discoveredthere. It's also a place for quiet studying.

Hanke LoungeNext you'll find the HankeLounge. It's Neill-Wycik's livingroom. A quiet nicely-furnishedplace, it is ideal for studying, curlingup with a coffee and a big novel orfor quiet conversation.

STYSTEMS AT WORKWin t e r s are fun at the co-op.The members have one thing incommon: the rooms are either toohot or too cold. The reason:technology.

Neill-Wycik is equipped with hotwater heating, which means thereare huge boilers in the basementwhich have to heat and circulate thewater which in turn goes throughthe pipes to our rooms, loses its heatto the cold air, thereby heating theair and us.There are two problems. The firstis that it takes the boilers aboutthree days to heat up or cool down.The second is that some geniusdecided the most efficient way todecide when heat is needed is to putthe thermostat outside the buildingand to split the system for south andnorth exposure.

For those periods, the boilerscan't keep up with the changingminds of the thermostats. Asidefrom that, any change in theweather which is unusual, like asummer cold spell or a winter warmup, will not be reflected in increasedor reduced heat output by theboilers until three days later, when itmayor may not be required.Summer is about as much fun.The place isn't air conditioned(the cafe is but that's for business).So, how to keep your cool while thestreets are melting? Simple: buy a

fan, install your own air conditioner, move to the upper arctic.The fan is your best bet. It takesup little room and less energy thanan air conditioner. If you go the airconditioner route, you'll have to tellmaintenance.

Strollingthe stripat nightIf you absolutely must go alone,The safest place is Yonge Street,between Dundas and Bloor.Walking on the brightest side of thestreet, you'll find lots to look a t-street vendors, prostitutes, homelessmen and women an d other everydaypeople like yourself. It's quite ascene.Places to stay away from afterdark and on quiet days includeAllen Gardens Gust at the corner ofJarvis and Gerrard, across from thelandmark "Hooker Harvey's") andother places east along Gerrard,Carlton and Dundas. If you walkpast Church Street along thesestreets you'll find them kind of darkand spooky. They aren't toopopulated either.Walking home from the subwayor the library is okay too. Just don'ttak e short cuts through parking lotsand stay on the main drags. Yongeand Gerrard (the north side) areconsidered main drags. Church andCarlton aren't bad, but fewer people tend to be around there at latehours.Most of this is common sense:just be careful, that's all. The streetsare patrolled here frequently.This area is full of students and it issafe.

Living at WycikMULTIPLE FACTS OF LIFE

I f you are here for the first time,chances are that you are in a sixperson unit.You are six people, more or lessequally divided between the sexes,in your early twenties or less andprobably living away from homefor the first time. Your ethnic,social and economic backgro undsmay differ widely.The space you are living in isvery small and the facilities(refrigerator, kitchen, bathrooms)are strictly limited. You are all, ormostly all, students. That meansno money. And at certain timesthere must be as few distractionsas possible. As well, you're boundto want phone service. Somebodyhas got to clean up and dump thegarbage. The possibilities for friction here are endless.

On top of that, this is libertyhall and we all do as we damn wellplease. A lot of people take this aslicense to do anything they wantwithout weighing the consequences.The key to surviving and, notonly that , to th riving under theseconditions is to fi rst minimize theposs ibilites for friction and second ,make an effort toward s co operating with your uni t mates.Minimizing friction comesbefore co-operation because it ismore important that destructiveconflicts be avoided than that unitmates work together .In some units, the membershardly ever see each other. Theyall eat separately and clean upafter themselves, nod cordially

whe n they meet an d go their ownways very pleasantly indeed.So it is more t han possible to getalong in a multi as long as youdon't annoy anyone enough tocause pro blems.But who the hell is here just tosurvive? The good times start whenyou begin to make an effortbeyond the subsistance level required.

I you want things a s pecial way,or at a certain level of cleanliness,do it yourself. Don't sulk and mutter about being damne d if you'lldo the work when no one else will.You'll just make your selfmiserable.

If you do things you w ant rightyourself, you'll be much mo re content with the result and with theworld around you. And your good

dif ferences. You will be a betterper son for i t and be tolerate d inyour own right. You've got a fewobnoxious hab its yourself.

But, as t he old handbook says,"i f you think you are dealing withseriou s craziness .. scratch all thatstuff about friendly c ontact andtalk to the co -op co-ordinator, orany staff member, immediately.People who act in this way needstrong official res pon ses." Looselytranslate d, t his means t here is alimited amount o f g arbage thatyou have to put up with.

This section is to help you survive and, with a littleluck and work, thrive in your multiple unit and in ourcommunity.If you are living away from homefor the first time, you should knowthere are two ways to go abouten suring you eat properly andregularly.Food Kitties

This is a system where two ormore people (ideally a whole unit)pool their money and buy groceriestogether. This is a mini-co-op and,as such, bears the stamp of approvalby the philosophers on our committees and .board.The food kitty way of lifedemands a lot of co-operation andcareful management so no one feelsripped off. It also means those buying together are usually eatingtogether at the same time. Subdividing a roast can be tricky.Going Solo

This means buying groceries andeating on your own. You can't afford to eat as well but you neverargue about money either. And youget to pick when, and if, you're going to have supper today. Yourmeals can be boring and cookingand doing your dishes every day is areal drag. Then again, you are notlikely to feel ripped off by peoplewho happen to eat more than you .Generally, you will have cleandishes when you want them.

T ere are more dumb argumentsover telephone bills and messagesthan over any other thing in a multiexcept the dishes and who didn't dothem.Usually, one person gets thephone in his or her name and sticksit out in the hall on a long extension.(Thus avoiding the group rate whichis what you will have to pay if it goesthrough the kitchen). Everyone paystheir own long distance and tax. Themonthly charge is divided into thenumber of people using it.If his process is not handled pro-

perly, the person running the phonecan , and frequently does, get stiffedat the end of the year. To avoid this,have the phone removed April 1, orshortly before. An inconvenience,true. But fair. Then go to the PhoneCentre in the Eaton Centre and settle up on the spot. Any discrepancies can then be worked out with thepeople involved before they leave.

Learn withthe helpof others

Last week someone asked me forhelp and I didn't do anything.As I walked down the hall fromthe elevator, I heard the splash ofrunning water and a cry of frustration. This was obviously somethingto be checked out.I walked into the unit and found afellow kicking his overflowingtoilet. When he saw me, he stoppedand waited for me to do something."What's the matter?" I asked,looking at his wet shoes in the growing puddle of water."Can you fix this for me?""Nope," I said, "but I will showyou how to do it."After about two minutes of instruction on the plumbing of toilets,nut only did it get fixed, but thefellow will know how to fix toiletsfor the rest of his life."No" has become my standardreply when I'm asked to do thingsfor people. I'll help you, I'll teachyou, I'll work with you, but I'm notgoing to do anything for you.

Wy s it people expect the office, maintenance or security to doeverything for them, to handle allthe unsavoury tasks and rough

edges? This dependency on staffand the power structure comes froma number of things.Well, for a start, many of us havecome to Neill-Wycik straight fromliving with our parents. Ourmothers and fathers sheltered uswhen we needed it, when wecouldn't take care of ourselves. Sowhen we moved here, it was easy toexpect that to keep on happening.Many members are angered orbewildered when they find that herewe do things for ourselves.On the other side of the coin,there are those who are afraid toleave their door open when they'rehome, who get angry in silence whenthe other guy won't clean the floor,who would rather paint their roomalone than ask for a hand.

Th i S is the kind of thing thathappens in an apartment building.But this need not happen here.What we have in this building israre in our society. Between the confinement of the family and the isolation of apartment life, there is ahuge gap. Here we're learning howto fill that void with a community ofadults, independent but interrelated. We try to care for eachother enough to live as humans,standing on our own feet when wecan, supporting each other when we

can't.We're still a ways from this goalbut it's a worthwhile goal, and we'regetting closer. It is with goals likethis that we make our lives richerand more worth living.

Whether it's the floor or just your own unit, it's wise to keepthings in decent shape. You will be the first to notice amaintenance problem. Unless you want to live with the bother,report it.Typical problems which you should notify maintenance aboutare: dripping taps, ripped or missing screens, plugged sinks,negligible water pressure, stove and fridge problems, bugs, miceand other non-human pests, broken furniture, plugged toilets,broken light switches and cover plates, defective lamps, missingor splintered bookshelves and anything else that doesn't seemright or you can't repair.

'Okay, Ma, I'll do it later'Tw o things lead to trashy units.One, the surprising amount of garbage and schmutz four to six peoplein a limited space can generate andtwo, the "i f they won't do it I won'tdo it" attitude.

It's a fact of life that there areneat people and there are sloppypeople. At a place like Neill-Wycikthey are liable to be thrown togetherwilly-nilly.If you are fortunate enough tohave neat unit mates, everything willbe fine. If not, things could slide

downhill pretty fast unless you areprepared to take steps before theproblem gets so big no one will wantto touch it.There are a few basic thingsanybody can do to keep the placeliveable. Don't let your dishes pileup for an inordinate length of time.No need to be a fanatic about it, butdo them once a day and try to getthem put away when you are finished (not left in the dish rack).Clean up any mess you makecooking. And while you're waitingfor the water to boil, give the place aquick sweep. You're waiting aroundanyway, right?Take an objective look at thewashroom you use from time totime. If you saw it in someone else'sunit what would you think? Thenclean it. And if you are going tovacuum your room, take another10 minutes and do the hallway too.And somebody take out the garbage. Don't try and pack it intighter. You'll just split the bag.

FlOors are easy things to clean.They just take soap, water, time andsome effort.If you wish to clean the bathroomfloor and wall tiles, you can pick upa jug of acidic tile cleaner(hydrochloric acid) frommaintenance. You have to becareful with it, but it does a greatjob.Pour it on heavily. Let it sit for 10to 20 minutes, then rinse it off acouple of times. You may need to

do a little scrubbing, so protect yourhands.If you wish to really clean yourfloors, we also have a floor stripperand a steam cleaner available. Both

machines can be found atmaintenance.

Don't panic. You can fix the problem.The fuse box for the kitchen islocated in one of the cupboardsabove the sink. Have a look for itwhen you arrange the stuff on theshelves. It's that gray metal thing inthe wall.Fuses are available frommaintenance.Al ways replace the used fuse withone of the same amperage. Thatmeans a 15 amp fuse for a 15 ampfuse. Don't replace a fuse with oneof a higher number.If the same fuse keeps blowing,report it immediately. There's probably something wrong with thewiring on the circuit.In the multiple units, there is alsoa relay box or two. If the fuse isn'tthe answer, flip the switches. Ifwhat should come on doesn't, callmaintenance.

If you hear the pitter patter of little feet and know that no one inyour unit has little feet, then youmay have visitors who haven't beeninvited.For the problems that bug you,the maintenance people will go thecupboard route. Clean out all yourcupboards, above and below thesink. Wash them out. Maintenancewill then apply a residual spraywhich is effective at zappin' bugsfor up to 60 days.A word of warning, though.While the spray is not toxic tohumans and most pets, smallanimals, birds and fish are indanger, so find a place to stashthem until the air clears.

On any given weekend, comehell or exam time, Neill-Wycik canbecome party central. Withoutlooking too hard, it's easy to find aparty and meet new people.For your basic, all-out, no-holdsbarred parties, the Steamer is theplace to be. If you're having a partyand you don't want to worry aboutbothering your roomies, you canrent out the Steamer. You merelyput down a $100 deposit (to guardagainst damages). And you get thatback after your party.The Steamer allows you to use agood sound system. Best of all, youhave lots of space for dancing andsocializing.If your party is smaller and moreintimate you could use the HankeLounge located on the 22nd floor oreven the Cafe. These parties can't beas loud as a Steamer party.Floor parties are always big successes. If you want to get yourroomies together or even the peopleacross - the-hall-and -down -thecorridor together, go for it! As longas people don't hang around in thehallways, security won't give you ahassle (watch the noise, too).

I f you're thinking really big,get your floor together and sponsora party for the entire building. Youcould advertise and even get somemoney from the co-op for a keg ofbeer.Yep, partying at Neill-Wycik isdefinitely first class. Just remember,if you're hosting a party, you areresponsible for any damages. Don'tlet peo ple hang aroun d in _ he

hallways if you're having a floorparty, since this is against fireregulations. Also, security will letthe noise go until 1 a.m., thenthey'll ask you to turn it down.So if you want to party, just dropby the office on the 22nd floor andtalk to Ralph. He'll help youorganize your party and make sureeverything runs smoothly.

D epression and despair hit us allat some time.

One of the most important thingsto do at Neill-Wycik, even more important than school, is to make acouple of trustworthy friends -other than your boyfriend orgirlfriend. You need two friends youcan talk to when the going getsrough.Another important thing is towork at enjoying your life and expanding yourself. Funny, but it willoften take a struggle to allowyourself to have a good time. You'llneed the good times and the hope ofmore when the hard times hit.But if the fog won't lift, if thepain won't quit, it's time to ask forhelv.See Ralph, the communitydevelopment co-ordinator or anystaffer you know and tell yourstory.

There are a lot of good peoplearound who have experience withthis stuff and they can help you.
