ClministrationTHEY REPRESENT YOU

E a c h 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.

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 members 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-ordinating theboard's activities with those of othercommittees and the membership atlarge.The board meets every otherWednesday at 7:30 p.m. Meetingsare open to all building members,unless otherwise specified, in whichcase the reason for closure is announced. This usually happens onlywhen the board has to' deal withconfidential corporate negotiations.

In such a case , all decisions and thereasons for them are made public.The business of the board, its

standing committees and subcommittees is open to every NeillWycik member. The boardmembers represent you. Let themknow what you want.

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 Directors

Pay renton time,don't letit slideIf 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 non

profit. 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. On Sept.1, about $600,000 of those rentscome due. If a quarter of thatmoney doesn't come in on time, westart losing interest on $150,000!

If you don't pay your rent, or ifyou are repeatedly late, you willreceive 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 paymenlfor a short while. But, do not just"let it slide" - go to the office andsee our bookkeeper.

These charts should help to shed some light on the fiyour co-op.They are pretty much self explanatory but note thaare of almost identical size. This is the secret of co-oonly take in as much money as we need to keep the builning. The budget balances and any small surplus develop is applied to unexpected expenses or put reserve fund. There is no profit being taken out of the(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 andappoints 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 .

The Social Activity Committee isa recently formed group that administers the $30,000 Social ActivityFund to which each member contributes $45 per year. It looks atwhat the facilities will need in thecoming year (an AT clone for thecomputer room? Another rowingmachine for the weight room ?), aswell as ways and means memberscan get involved in co-op activities.All members are welcome to attendmeetings and communityenhancement suggestions are appreciated.

STANDINGCOMMITTEESOPERATIONSGeneral Managerand StaffAD-HOCSUB-COMMITTEES

T h e personnel committee is comprised of someone from the board, amember of the management committee and a "member-at-Iarge".If a staff member has ct beef, he

or 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-lawreview committee that is revisingour by-laws, and an Alcohol PolicyReview Commi ttee which is examining safe and reasonable ways tomonitor the use of alcohol at co-opsocial functions.

The CommitteesIt can be scary coming to NeillWycik for the first time. To softenthe blow, and to start each year offon the right foot, we have varioussocial events in September. Theseevents are organized by a group ofenthusiastic social butterflies everysummer, better known as the Orientation Committee.

o-operationITS PRINCIPLES

Neill-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 we tryto 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 ControlMembers elect the Board of Directors at Neill-Wycik. Any rent increase ormajor policy change must be passed at a general meeti ng open to allmembers. If you have a criticism or suggestion you can express it at a boardmeeting, to the staff or at a general meeting.

ApoliticalNeill-Wycik doesn't take sides on the political spectrum. We will not makedonations to one political party (unlike many private companies). Nor willwe become involved in political movements for change not directly relatedto housing. We do, however, respect any member's activities in these areas.

Non-ProfitWe take in a certain amount of money from rents and the hotel and spend iton maintenance, staff salaries or other expenses. Anything left goes into ourreserves. There is no person or group of people who benefit if we have asurplus. We all share in our financial successes and failures.

A Co-operative Educational EnvironmentNeill-Wycik is not just a student bedroom. By bringing a group of peopletogether from around the world and supplying them with private and communal space we hope to teach the art of co-operation.

By offering educational facilties 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.

16 Neill-Wycik College OWNER 'S MANUALl1988 -89

The co-op's Board of Directors bases its decisions onthe following ideas:Mission Statement of NeillWycik 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 Values a belief in co-operativeprinciples; a belief in the worth ofeach member and respectfor what each member cancontribute; 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.

ur rulesCODES OF BEHAVIOUR

TheY're your rules.Whether you were for 'em, ordidn' t know they existed, they're

your 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 an d 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.

eDon't tamper with fire safetyequipment. Extinguishers, hoses,pull-stations, and detectors are allout of bounds, unless you needthem in an emergency. See page 36.

No vio len t o r 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.eDon't deliberately damage co-opproperty. It is pointless and costsyou, the vandal, your maintenancedeposit plus whatever else it costs tofix what you broke..Don't sell drugs. Drugs are illegaland you'll get caught.

How to get around T.O., tty of Toronto without going brokeIT'S YOUR HOMENeill-Wycik is smack in the middle of one ofCanada's most vibrant cities. Toronto is a centreof commerce, entertainment, industry andmedical research. It encompasses the Cities ofToronto, York, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough and the Borough of East York. Enjoy.

Buses, 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 fareyou're entitled to transfers so youcan 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 toget information on routes,schedules, etc. Just call 393-INFOfrom 7 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. any day.

ONCE UPON ATIME

Neill- Wydk: New. Improved. Bigger andBetter. Here is the story of the constructionodyssey, completed at the dawn of 1988.On c e 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 armour rode into town from Lantana

Non-profit Consulting Agency. SirMike Labbe was his name and hebrought good news.His idea was to build a ninestorey 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, anot her 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, quieter

bedrooms than the old Three of the units wstorey town houses wittrances from McGildownstairs living arupstairs bedroom area.As an added attvillage would have bachelor units with achen, den and bedroomThe rest of the units in varying shapes.All six-person units tw o bathroomsbathtub/shower, vanityfridges and lounges witThe Knights of the S

acilities

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.Rooftop PatioLet's start at the top of the Gerrard wing - the roof. During thespring, summer and early fall, youcan go up to the roof to take in thespectacular view of the Torontoskyline, 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 ar-'rangements). 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'l l discover isthe laundry room - it's right besidethe elevators.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 sewing room. It's got three Singer sewing machines and a knitting machinefor you to use.

Pottery StudioAcross from the games room isthe pottery studio. The kiln, wheels,clay and glazes are all there. Go toit.Office and MaffboxesNext 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.Computer LabJust before the mailboxes is ournewest facility, the computer lab. Ithas two IBM XT clones, one with acolour monitor, hard disk and internal modem, the other with two floppy disk drives. Both machines areon line to a Roland dot-matrixprinter. If all this is a little confusing, don't despair. A member of thecore group will gladly show youaround and introduce you to someprograms designed to teach novicesthe ins and outs of computer functioning.LibraryMoving 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.T ere's a couple of things of interest in the lobby and basement.CafeIt operates during the hotelseason for breakfast. Plans arepresently underway to renovate andfurnish this space to make it moreaccessible to the members. At the

The Steamer also has a largescreen television and a VHS videorecorder.DarkroomAcross from the Steamer is thedarkroom. It's got both a black andwhite and colour print room. Needyour own chemicals and stuff,though.SaunaFor those who want to get allsweaty and clear out their pores,also down in the basement, next tothe Steamer, is the sauna. It's got acouple of showers and a change

moment, anyway, there's a piano,and it is used for floor dinner parties.Pool RoomJust across from the basementstairwell is the pool room. No, itdoesn't have an Olympic-sized pool:rather a five foot by nine footbilliards table. Cues and snookerand boston balls can be had fromthe front desk.SteamerMoving down one floor further tothe basement, we find Neill-Wycik'smain party place - the Steamer.It's' the big room at the west end.

It's the perfect place for a bash.The stereo, dance floor and bar areall right there. If you're interested in

room too.After 10 p.m., though, it's not forthe shy-at-heart. You see, nobathing suits are required after thattime.Woodshop

At, the east end of the basement,you'll find the woodshop. It's gotmost of the power tools you'd everwant to use.When the McGill wing wasbuilt the following community spacewas provided:

tructureSYSTEMS AT WORK

Win 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.

l..r~ ~ r'.'''r.;Your friend, the chute

T h e garbage chute is one of the many miracles of moderntechnology. However, it is very temperamental. It will treat you well,if you treat it well. But it made up its own rules long ago.We indulge it - we only have one. Treat the garbage chute as afriend. Don't ever, ever, EVER throw newspaper, glass, boxes (including those of the pizza variety) or any loose materials of anydescription down the chute. You'll have to take th at stuff out back tothe bins yourself.Failure to acknowledge the chute's niles will inspire retaliation. It

will plug up. No one will be able to use it, possibly for days. Yourhouse will smell like the last plague. The chute will laugh.Maintenance or security will have to unplug the jam, which meansclimbing into the chute. They will not laugh.So remember: do unto the chute by its rules or it will do unto you!

Conserveto combatmountingtrash warOne morning, Ralph went to thestore to buy some milk.

He bought the four litre size,noticing that it came in three plasticbags encased in a larger bag. Whenhe checked out, the clerk putRalph's milk in a plastic shoppingbag."Three layers of plastic surrounded the milk," thought Ralph, "a farcry from the golden oldie days ofclay urns which were reusable foryears."It 's no wonder that Toronto isin the middle of a garbage crisis,"Ralph said to himself.None of the surrounding com

around the planet for thousands ofyears).The other is to recycle our waste.At Neill-Wycik, we try to makeour contribution to relieving thestrain of the garbage crisis by recycl-

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 and other everydaypeople like yourself. It ' s quite ascene .Places to stay away from afterdark and on quiet days includeAllen Gardens Uust 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 . The y aren't toopopulated either .Walking home from the subwayor the library is okay too. Just don'ttake 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.

This ain't KansasT here's a lot to keep you busy inthis city; studying , pub nights,roommates, co-op parties .. the listis endless (and not necessarily inthat order). After your first monthhere you'll feel one of two things.You'll either be so infatuated withRye High (or wherever it is you goto school) that you'll wonder howyou ever existed without this kind oflife and all these wonderfulpeople .. or, you'll be so homesick,you'll wonder whatever possessedyou to move here in the first place.It takes a while to get to know thevaluable people out there waiting tobe friends with you.

Just becareful where you go.

It also makes sense that there'smore safety in numbers. You'll getto know this area pretty quickly andin no time you'll be assuring thepeople at home that city life is not asscary as it sounds. It's scary forthose who lead themselves intoundesirable situations with otherundesirable people... but if you'recautious, pas de probleme!!As for safety at the co-op, thisplace is as cosy as your living roomback home. Security sits at the deskevery night 'til 2 a.m. and the doorsare locked when they're not there.They are a great bunch, friendly andresponsible.The main thing is: welcome, andhave a good time!

If 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 backgroundsmay 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 thriving under theseconditions is to first minimize thepossibilites for friction and second,make an effort towards cooperating with your unit 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

when they meet and go their ownways very pleasantly indeed.So it is more than possible to getalong in a multi as long as youdon't annoy anyone enough tocause problems.But who the hell is here just tosurvive? The good times start whenyou begin to make an effortbeyond the subsistance level required.If you want things a special way,or at a certain level of cleanliness,do it yourself. Don't sulk and mutter about being damned if you'lldo the work when no one else will.You'll just make yourselfmiserable.

If you do things you want rightyourself, you'll be much more content with the result and with theworld around you. And your good

38 Ne ill -Wyc ik Co llege OWNE I\' S M A NU AL / 1988-89

example could inspire the others.If you have the inclination, get afood kitty going . Mealtimes aregreat for bringing the unittogether. And try to go on anouting once a term with your unitmates.Learn to live with other people' sdifferences. You will be a betterperson for it and be tolerated inyour own right. You've got a fewobnoxious habits yourself.But, as the old handbook says,Hif you think you are dealing withserious craziness .. scratch all that

stuff about friendly contact andtalk to the co-op co-ordinator, orany staff member, immediately.People who act in this way needstrong official responses." Looselytranslated, this means there is alimited amount of garbage 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 aboutensuring 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 SoloThis 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 this 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,not 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.

' \ ' \ { y is 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 here

we 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.

T his 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 inter-related. 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 w orth 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 ab outare: 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.

Trashing garbage hasslesTw 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 slidedownhill 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. Yo u'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 another

10 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.

F oOTS 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(hydrochlor ic 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 todo 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.Always 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. The lightpowder left once the spray dries isokay. It won't harm anything -except bugs.For mice we go the feedingroute. Maintenance will work with

The bait is an effectivemethod, and will clear up the problem in three to four weeks.Most cleaning and repair supplies are provided by the co-op.Cleaning supplies, garbage andsome equipment are kept in thefloor's maintenance cupboards inthe E units. Acidic tile cleaner,which is great for cleaning the foortiles in the washrooms, can be obtained from the basementMaintenance office.During the winter, each floor hasa vacuum cleaner assigned to it. It iskept in the E unit.The little beasties are collected atthe end of August and April forcleaning and preventativemaintenance.

etting the most out ofWvcPARTIES AND FRIENDS

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 and

socializing.If your party is smaller and mor.intimate you could use the HankeLounge located on the 22nd floor oreven the Cafe. These partiescan'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 some

money 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 people hang around in the

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.

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 forhelo.See Ralph , the communitydevelopment co-ordinator or anystaffer you know and tell yourstory.
