SO THIS IS HUMBER

(and this on the right is Elizabeth Amato who is a first year Creative Communications student). On Page 2 of this issue first year students take a bard look at Humber and bow the college stacks up against uni­versities which some of them have attended.

This is Hum-Drum - Humber College's new paper -your new paper. Get involved. Our objects are to unite Humber's five campuses by providing an effective internal communications medium; to tell outsiders what Humber is doing and what Humber stands for, and to provide an opportunity for college people to get into print. Contributions and ideas are welcome. Our produftion offices are on the fourth floor of the North Campus Phase II building and our telephone locals are 353 and 355. People from other campuses shou@ send their Hum-Drum contributions and ideas by internal mail.

He isn't hopeful of seeing

this ideal realized, however and predicts that General Arts and Science studies will be phased out in favor of courses to provide "fodder" for our capitalist business system.

Its purpose? "To lure people to the revolution."

"It was ludicrous for me toretain an· accepted status posi­tion within a system I believed to be foul and destructive," he says.

McCarthy said on Sept. 23 he was going to quit but he still retains his seat on the Student Advisory Committee to "keep an eye on the money.''

By GEORGINA LAUSH.

U nion Vice-president BrianSpivak ended the confusion

which existed when John Mc­CartJiY resigned by· assuming the presidency himself.

-Source of the confusion was the vagueness about constitutional questions which was already felt during the presidential election last semester.

After McCarthy's resignation, possibilities considered by at least some people at Humber included giving the vacant spot to Sam Lane, runner-up in the last elec­tion, and holding a new election.

Spivak had been drawing up a new constitution this summer, but it is still in the committee stage.

Now that he is president, he in­tends to follow the program decid­ed on during the summer, and most of this stems from the new

constitution now being written. It is intended to help the Student

Union put issues before the stu­dent body more quickly and effi­ciently.

The cabinet will consist of seven executive members and four rep­resentatives from each division. They will meet twice a month and the executive will meet alone every second Tuesday. Other stu­dents are welcome to attend, how­ever.

Spivak is also directing his at­tention to the purchase of a new farm for student use. Funds are coming from bonds put aside each year for such transactions.

The property for which the Un­ion is negotiating is a 120-acre farm with a lake, house and a barn.

The College could use it as a conference centre or for school functions.

The first official function was an all-night cartoon show Qn Fri­day, Oct. 9 in the college cafeter­ia.

"We also want to have free dances, and keep the cost down,'' said Spivak. "If we went to Pine­view, we would have to charge admission." He went on to ex­plain, "I'd rather see the dances free. Things will be a bit cramped, but this is only for the time being."

Another question demanding the new president's attention is the future of the school newspaper. One issue of Ad Hoc was published by the Union in Orientation Week but the publication was suspended and the present newspaper devel­oped to provide a more effective voice for the College and a means of uniting the five campuses with an efficient internal" communica­tions organ.

Pilfering Jew hold

us all

to· ransom By ROSS FREAKE

You have registered. Now let's assume you are a "typical" stu­dent. In case you didn't know, the first place a typical student heads for is the bookstore.

Your bookstore (at least that's what the administration says and every freshman knows the admin­istration is always right). Piles and piles of books, your books. Knowledge, your knowledge.

But are they your books after all? Ask and it shall be given unto you; so you ask. But is it given to you? Of course, but there is one stipulation. You have to cough up some wampum (a lot of wampum) in return.

And if you·re like me that poses a problem because I don't have any. No one really expects to get the books for free, but is it neces­sary to mark them up 20 per cent?

The manager of the Humber College Bookstore, Gordon Sim­mett, thinks it is necessary. The Ontario Government helped get the bookstore started, but now it has to run itself, that means it has to show a profit. In case you ha­ven't figured it out by now that's why 20 per cent is stuck on the cost price.

The mark-up could be less than 20 per cent, but unfortunately there are some among us who are either kleptomaniacs or broke. When they need a book they just lift it off the shelf and innocently walk out. (If you've got another technique and can guarantee it'll work, phone the Ad Hoc office and let me know.) More power to those who steal books, except fcir the fact that the rest of the students have to pay for them.

There is still a glimmer of light shining through this dilem111a. Mr. Simmett has been manager of the bookstore for less than a year but can almost guarantee that if he has a good year the mark up will be less next year.

This semester a ten ta ti ve buy­back book policy has been· estab­lished _by the bookstore. The book­store buys last year's books from the students at half price, marks them up 25 per cent and sells them back to the students. But why mark them up 25 per cent? Could they not sell them back at cost price?

Again Mr. Simmett says no. The 25 per cent mark-up is a safeguard in case an instructor changes text­books and the bookstore is left with books it can't sell.

This situation, too, might im­prove. At the end of the spring semester instructors wlll let the bookstore know which books they will use as texts in the fall. So the bookstore will know which books to buy back from the students, so next year the mark-up on used books will be almost nil.

Like any other new operation. the campus has its share of grow­ing pains and cynics. The same type of growing pains and the same cynics that were ever pre­sent at the North Campus during those dark January days when Phase II opened. Everyone, it seems, has something to say.

A bulletin board in the main hallway near the door is empty but for two employment notices, three memos foretelling of upcoming events, and a copy of the Humber College bus schedule. A girl, prob­ably a student, is standing looking at the schedule with a smile on her face.

"I didn't even know a bus came to this place," she laughs. It is comments like this that will dull the aura of the new Keelesdale Campus to be opened officially next month.

Ckan up or pay up-North ·Campus must chose By Jeanette Alexander

It has been said the food that is good for you tastes bad. Humber students say that if this is true, then they are among the healthiest people in the world.

However Dave Davis, Humber's new Food Services Manager, is satisfied that the meals served in the cafeteria are both tasty and nutrituous. All food is prepared in the kitchen, thus insuring fresh­ness. The college does not have a catering service.

Last year the cafeteria lost nearly $50,000. To prevent such a loss again this year, the college has hired Mr. Davis. He has worked for several companies in­cluding Amilar. He accepted the position, he says, because he con­siders it a real challenge. Mr. Davis hopes to break even this year ·and lower prices by good organization.

Some prices have been already cut. For example, sandwiches are 5 cents cheaper. Mr. Davis ex­plained the reason for not lower­ing the prices even farther: '' So many students do not pick up their garbage after they have finished eating. Therefore we have to pay help to clean it up."

Question: Why not hire students to help clean it up?

According to Mr. Davis this can be dor.e. If there are students who would like a job cleaning the cafe­teria and can work during the busi­est hours, they will be hired.

The cafeteria itself purchases its food from Amilar, a wholesale company. Peter Victor, managing chef feels that Amilar is providing better service than any company the cafeteria has used before.

By using Amilar, he said, the cafeteria is getting food as much

Boost for

care course By KEITH TIPPIN

The Residential Counsellor Program located in the Lakeshore Campus has been expanded from one to two years and is now de­scribed as a Special Care Counsel­lor Program.

The added year gives students a broader background and an oppor­tunity to choose an option, special­izing in either residential care or in rehabilitation work for retarded adults.

The course is co-ordinated with the Department of Health and fieldwork is done in institutions for the retarded throughout Ontar­io.

The enrollment is also expand­ing. Thirty-two.students are en­rolled in the course, compared to 17 last year.

as 15 per cent cheaper than last year. Even though there are cheaper wholesale companies, the quality may not be as good.

Students frequently complain about the quality and the quantity of the food served in the cafeteria. Yet when they are called upon to voice their complaints formally or offer solutions, they do not appear.

A meeting was held on Sept. 30 in the North Campus auditorium. Despite the bulletin that was hand-

Nancy Norridge - instructors great

ed out on Tuesday and the numer­ous posters in the halls and cafe­teria, fewer than 100 people ap­peared.

Many of the students who at­tended the meeting said what they thought was wrong and offered possible solutions. One question that was raised was: Why use styrofoam cups and plastic spoons when they obviously add to pollu­tion? Again the blame was placed on some students.

Silverware and dishes disappear from the cafeterifl at a surprising rate. It is thought that a large number of students now have a set of Humber College dishes at their homes.

The cafeteria staff said that trays will disappear as soon as the snow begins to fall. Students use them as sleds on the hills behind. the north campus Phase II build­ing. Then there is a problem with the vending machines. It seems

that some students put metal slugs instead of coins in the machines. As much as $3 worth of slugs can be found in the vel}ding machines every day. This means that more revenue is lost to the college.

There were students at the meeting deeply concerned about the cafeteria situation, but with new management and more co­operative students things should get better. Maybe all that is need­ed is time.

GM's loss Humher's gain By LORNE COE

Most first year students feel that Humber College is a challeng­ing and refreshing change from high school._

They are enjoying their courses and find the subjects enlightening and worth-while. Tim Barry, Human Relations 1, says, "The courses and subjects are different and interesting." Some students though, such as Lesley Mc­Farland, Social Sciences 1, feel the courses could be more diverse.

Educators agree that good edu­cation depends on a good student-

teacher relationship. It seems many of the first year students feel the same way.

Nancy Norridge, G.A.S. 1, finds the instructors, "great, well-qual­ified, with a refreshing attitude towards learning." Randy Pearce, Graphics 1, agrees with Nancy. "Instructors _are friends, not mas­ters to you," he says.

Most first year people find it hard to say precisely why they came to Humber.

Humber a poor relation to uni­versities - ? "No way," say first year students.

Some like Brenda Wilson, have been on both sides of the fence. ,Brenda spent a year at the Univer­sity of Toronto studying mathe­matics - but the experiente turned her off:

"I was sick and tired of the phony world the students created on campus; there was no reality of life."

She went on to say that the courses at Humber, were oriented so that the student is kept aware of the realities of their future car­eers.

Brenda was also pleased by the sizes of her classes.

At university it's not at all strange to have classes of up to 250 students .. Since her classes at· Humber are considerably smaller, she feels she not only learns more, but is more a part of the class.

Humber has also been branded as being a last resort for students who wanted to go to university, but lacked the qualifications.

Mike Gerhardt (Creative Com­munications 1) found himself in this position, but admits that after

experiencing Humber he feels he can learn just as much here, and be as content.

Other students, who have friends in universities said that after hearing of their discontent with university campus life and administration, they Were glad they chose Humber.

Gale Harding, at University of Toronto said, "I don't know what I'm doing here, Boy, did I ever get a bum steer."

What of the transition from high school to college? Wayne Dobson, Creative Communications 1; ex­pressed the sentiments of many first year students when he said, "The biggest difference between high ,;;chool to college could be wrapped up in one word - free-dom."

Most of the first year students seem to be enjoying life at Hum­ber College and particularly the

Girls sign up for police course By BOB MARTIN

Humber College is playing an important part in improving rela­tions between police and public.

At the start of the current se­mester, the school instituted a

· unique law enforcement program.Described by Fred Manson,

dean of the Applied and LiberalArts Division, as "one of the mostpromising developments in ourcollege", the program offers newdirection in police training.

Courses for the program are

currently being organized by Adri­an Adamson, Chairman of Hum­ber' s social science and humani­ties programs, although course co­ordinator has yet to be appointed.

Mr. Adamson explains that a one-year law enforcement pro­gram was offered last year but was dropped because of lack of interest.

-

This year, a four-semester pro-· gram Was evolved but it too ap­peared headed for cancellation with only three applicants regis­tered by the original deadline.

Then there was a rush for en­rollment.

Now 17 students - five of them female - are registered for the course.

The open enrollment has led to a delay in the commencement of some classes within the program although, first year students will likely study the nature of crime, an introduction to law and social control, the administration of criminal justice, issues in crimi­nal justice administration and English and general electives.

have three telephones. After talking with them long dis­tance from Toronto, I franti­cally scrounge around the med­icine cabinet for enough sugar pills to commit suicide. Cause of death will be sugar diabetes.

For instance, I called them Jast night to announce that soon I'll be having a new address, That should have been simple enough. "Hello everybody, I'm moving. Would you like to hear about the new place?"

"Yes, we would." "Well, it's go£... ..... ," and then

when I complete my resume we could have an organized question and answer period.

It should only be. I always call direct now because

they got so upset when I phoned collect. They prefer to waste my money than their own.

Scene: The telephone rings and my father picks it up. He is good at that.

"Hello?" "Hi." "I'm fine, you too?" "Wait a minute. All formalities

considered, I must ask you how are things in Glochamorra before you can answer."

"O.K., I'm fine. What do you want?" He is not listening to me. Not really.

"I have some good news. Put. Mum and Joy on the other two extensions so I don't have to re­peat myself three times."

"Musha! ! (that's my Dad's eth­nic way of saying 'Marcia'.) Joy!! Edith's on the phone."

My mother, in all her innocence, and who cannot wait to hassle me says, '' Send your grandmother a New Year's card. Do you want her to think you hate her? What's the matter with you?"

There is a time lapse. My father is fuming because he hates his mother-in-law, my mother is wait­ing for an answer and I am won­dering what is the matter with me. Joy, my kid sister pipes in on the third extension.

"Hi, send me the cassette tape of Melanie and send me .... ''

"People, wait! I have good news, can I tell you?"

"When did you start school? Maybe you can come home this weekend?" My mother, some­times I think she only knows how to ask two questions. "You also have to go to the dentist."

My dad wants to know, "Is the car still running? Do you look af­ter it? Did you talk to Cousin Pearl? She would probably want to hear if you are dead or alive."

"No; it's a hot water system. Will you listen to me, I'll explain everything. The library has a big bookcase with glass doors nd ..... "

My family does not sit still for detail.

"How much does it cost?" I was wondering why it took so long for my father to ask that question.

While I was wondering ..... "Send me all you have on the Cu­ban Revolution so I .can hand it in for History."

"It's got a separate dining­room, three bedrooms, a kitchen, four-piece bathroom, wash-tubs in the basement and a clothesline!!! It costs one hundred and eighty­five dollars and we pay the hydro and it's beautiful and drapes come with it and the landlord is goipg to put in an outside plug for my car and ... and ... and ..... !!!" I almost passed out due to lack of breath.

"Is it a good area?" inquires Mum.

"What do you have to move for?" barks Dad.

cradle, I hear my father say in the quiet distance, "Musha, I thought she said she had good news . . .like maybe she got a job."

We're sticking with 'qwerty' By PETER JAMES

Remember when you first saw a· typewriter keyboard? All those crazy words like "qwerty" and "asdfghj" and "zxcvb" and the guy who told you the thing was invented by a Newfie?

Later, as you began to find your way about a bit, in your trusting way, you maybe figured that "qwerty" was, in fact, a com­monly used word in some parts of Canada although you never hap­pened to hear it in your own part of town.

Well it wasn't. The keyboard wasn't designed to make things easier for anyone - it was de­signed to slow the typist down to a ·speed at which the type bars onthe pld steam-age typewriterswouldn't get tied in knots.

Typewriters improved consider­ably in the century they've been inuse - but the keyboard has stayedthe same - unnecessarily ineffi-

cient now that the typewriter is a precision instrument and often an electrically-powered one at that.

But things are changing in some parts of the world. Two of the United States' best and biggest newspapers, the New York Times and the Miami Herald are dump­ing "qwerty" - not only on the typewriter keyboards, but also on the keyboards of their type-setting machines.

The new keyboard - if new is the word - was invented in the United States in the early 1930s -is the Dvorak Simplified (DSK for short).

Its proponents claim it can in­crease typing speed by 35 per cent, reduce fatigue, and cut traini"rig time in half. By eliminating 98 per cent of "finger hopping" it cuts the error rate considerably. Sev­enty per cent of all common words can be typed on the "home row" - the one in the middle. That is

Despite Women's Lib

there'll be no·

nursery this year. By Gary Armstrong

There is little chance that the North Campus will have a child day-care centre this year.

For the past two weeks, sup­porters of the Women's Liberation Movement, have been trying to establish a day-care centre for children of the staff and students. But the girls have encountered problems with the Ontario Gov­ernment and the College Adminis­tration.

A licence from the govern­ment's Department of Social and Family Services is needed to oper­ate a nursery. The provisions of the licence are strict and are backed by $30-a-day fines if they are not met.

Among other things, the licence stipulates that a day-care centre provide 60 square feet of fenced-in playground space for each child, that a trained supervisor be pre­sent at all times, that a full course hot meal be served every day and that there must be at least two rooms in the nursery if there are more than 25 chilren.

The cost of these services is high. Margaret Hincks, chairman

of the Community Services De­partment, believes that the cost alone would prohibit the setting up of a day-care centre.

But the Women's Liberation group think they can cover the cost by a grant from the Student Union and by a small charge to mothers who place their children in the centre.

Judy Squires, a supporter of the • Women's Lib, said that toys need­ed for the day-care centre could beraised by donations from the stu­dents of the college.

Although he is sympathetic tothe cause, President GordonWragg does not think a day-carecentre is feasible.

"I doubt whether there is spacewithin the college" he said.

Brenda Smallman, JournalismII, disagrees with the President,saying that even the college stor­agerooms would do.

Whatever the outcome, theNorth Campus is assured of a day­care centre in two years.

Space for the centre has beenallocated in building plans and theEarly Childhood Developmentcourse is due to be moved to theNorth Campus.

almost three times as many words as you can type of the home row of a "qwerty" machine.

With these staggering advan­tages one would. wonder why we_ all still pound on the "qwerty" keyboard.

One reason is that the public isn't aware of the easier system of typing. Not only is the public not aware but the manufacturers show Ii ttle interest.

One IBM salesman, John Oliv­er, says, "IBM is reluctant to sell this type of keyboard because no­body knows how to use them, but you can get any specified key­board you wish for about $15 more."

Joan Girvan, teacher of type­writing at Humber College knew all about the DSK keyboard but stated that Humber has already purchased 100 new typewriters this year - all "qwerty".

Change doesn't come easily.

The deliberately inefficient "qwerty" keyboard (above) and the speedy DSK.

New relevance for encounter groups By BOB MARTIN

The student new to Humber Col­lege faces a completely different world. The protectiveness of high school has disappeared. There are no bells telling you when you must be in class, there are no instruc­tors ordering you to "have that assignment done or you'll get five detentions."

For many the new environment is welcome. They've got the talent and enthusiasm and consequently thrive in their new-found freedom.

But there are those who don't. The break from ali they have know

has been too abrupt. They enter Humber with an unsureness about themselves and others. They want to meet people, to become a part of the college and all it represents but they can't.

These are among the people that Ray Morris is attempting to reach.

Although still a young man and a relative newcomer to Humber's counselling services staff, Mr. Morris has an impressive back­ground in human relations ranging from counselling at the ·YMCA Centre for Human Relations to his

studies for his Master's Degree in Applied Psychology and his PhD.

As one 0f his duties at the col­lege, the Waterloo Lutheran Uni­versity graduate is organizing human awareness and encounter groups.

Mr. Morris noted in an inter­view that, with changing trends in education, group techniques have gained a new relevance. While the student was previously expected to learn through listening, he is now encouraged to enquire -and discuss.

It's time Toronto caught on By JOHN SWATOGOR

It's been a long, hot, hard day at work. You decide to step out for a rest, so you head for the nearest park. Trailing your bare feet through the thick green grass, you tilt your head back to let a cool. breeze glide across your face.

Sit there and listen to the tune played by one of the many water fountains�

Look around and let your eyes behold the many pieces of sculp­ture that are a part of the park's decor.

No, the park I'm describing is not in Toronto but it could be any

one of a number of parks in Scan­danavia. For only there, where the living standards are just as high as ours, can you sit refreshed beside a water fountain and take in the splendours of modern sculpture and nature too.

Metro Toronto has kept 6,800 acres of parkland so Torontonians may relax in quiet surroundings. Politicians quote figures of "3.5 acres of park-land for every 1,000 people, what more do you want?" But look at Toronto, a cold, imper­sonal city, as compared. to Oslo, Stockholm, or Copenhagen -friendlier cities; the kind you would want to return to.

In Oslo for instance you can walk to Vigeland Park, a huge, beautiful complex with not only grass and trees, like Toronto parks, but many fountains and statues.

Nor are the statues those of old Wi!r heros, which really only inter­est the pigeons, but pieces of art which enable even the most philis­tine of passers by to enjoy and appreciate them.

The entire theme of the park could be too heavy for our con­servative Canadian morals, for the statues are mostly of naked men, women and children.

Sick 'of all this \

• •• •

-so was KEITH MARTIN

so he went NorthMy first view of Chapleau at

four-thirty on a cold, damp, late August morning was very satisfy­ing.

This was really North! . The town looked Northern,

wooden frame houses, numerous beverage houses and 1957 Fords. It even smelled Northern. The cold air was laden with the smell of damp grass and train station odours.

Inside the station it was with mixed emotions that I read tbe conclusive proof that I was indeed North, PLEASE DO NOT THROW TOOTH PICKS INTO THE URIN­ALS; CHAPLEAU CRABS CAN POLE VAULT.

This prime example of Northern humor was both convincing and disturbing; but I was North at last!

That morning my fellow trav­eller, Lingwood, and I paddled out of the oil slick on the Chapleau shore line, past the open sewer outlet and into a cottage-lined bay. As we paddled further the cot­tages disappeared as did the sound of boat motors.

By mid-day we were alone, there was peace in the sounds of the dipping and scr·aping of pad­dles. The scenery was a montage of dark rocks, water, trees, sky and cloud.

We stopped at a trash littered camp site and .shivered through a frosty night before resuming pad­dling on the misty river.

We portaged several times that day and despite such obvious ev­idence of man as beer cans, plas­tic bags, tin cans and used toilet paper, etc., a feeling of repeating history descended upon me.

We were descendents of the voyageurs, travelling for the first time through fresh, new waters

� instead of this oil-befowled river with its banks lined with industrial foam.

This image of the past was shat­tered completely by the ,sound of an outboard motor and a hailing shout, "You-all Amurrican?"

Cursing "Yankee Ingenuity" and it's rapacious nature I vowed to go even further North - as soon as possible.

Fall is Canada's most beautiful season but Canadians are in­creasingly aware that some year soon the leaves may fall for the last time from the dying boughs of trees poisoned by pollution in a land saturated with industrial waste. The flag with the falling maple leaf was adopted by 150 pollution-fighting groups across Canada to symbolise the threat. Wednesday was Survival Day and on Saturday Humber .will host a pollution seminar. Peter Batkin of Pollution Probe will be the keynote speaker and there will be a good turnout by representatives of action groups and government agencies. Com�!

ON RECOR.D By JOHN WILLOX

With the death of Jimi Hendrix there will probably be a pathetic influx of "Best of Hendrix" al­b11ms. Although sometimes a ben­efit to fans in that they can now purchase all their favourite cuts on one album, it is mostly just the· Record Company trying to cash in.

The last album released by Hendrix was "Band of Gypsies". It featured Buddy Miles on drums, and was recorded live at the Fill­more East last New Years Eve.

The album contains Hendrix's famous guitar work accented by Miles' heavy-handed drumming and soulful singing. "Who knows" and "Machine Gun" both by Hen­drix are the album's best efforts.

The first shakes you up with its funky rythmn and the second brings you down as Hendrix's crashing guitar pounds your sen-

ses. B6th these songs make up side one and unless you are a rythmn and blues fan it is not worth your while to turn the album over.

Side two is mainly Buddy Miles and consists of much softer mate­rial. If you enjoy He.ndrix then side one should be sufficient to justify the _price of the album. Of course you could always wait for his "Best of Hendrix" instead.

One of the biggest reasons for the success of the Jeff Beck group was their fine singer Rod Stewart. His vocal talent is also the reason for the perfection of his latest al­bum: "<;iasoline Alley".

On songs such as "Country Comforts" and "Only a Hobo", his scratchy, rasping voice captures all the tenderness and emotion the ballads were written with.

The fiery re-arrangement of "You're my Girl" and "All over Now" shows the full power of Stewart's voice as he belts out each number sounding very _much like a cross between Joe Cocker and Robert Plant.

The backing is capably provided by the leftover members of the old Small Faces, especially the guitar

j--.-work of Ron Wood and the piano-

Ontario has a quarter of a million lakes - too many of them are polluted

No-the riding ain't so easy By CAROLE GOMEZ

There's a new class in Social Awareness being given at Hum­ber.

The requirements for admission are stamina, keen senses and an . ability to get along with others, esQecially in the early hours of the morning.

To participate in Humber's answer to computer dating, catch one of the eight buses going to the North Campus in the morning.

For those who want to evaluate the course before making it a daily habit, get on at the subway. Chances are you may get a seat.

But if you really want to get involved, try catching the Black Demon at the corner of Martin Grove and Albion. That's real par­ticipation.

All kidding aside, the bus situa­tion is in need of drastic changes.

There are about 1,800 students at the North Campµs. Let's say that 800- have cars or get a ride into school and let's suppose 300 don't show up on any given day. That leaves 700 students waiting for a bus.

There are five buses leaving the subway on the first run at eight in the morning, going north on Isling­ton to Rexdale, then across to Kip­ling or Martin Grove, north to Al­bion, west, and then south on High­way 27 to Humber.

There also is a shuttle bus going from Islington and Dixon to the school, via the same route. At 7:45 there is a-bus leaving Eglinton and Dufferin. A bus also goes to Queensway II at 7:40.

That means that about 80 stu­dents will get on each bus. Only 50 will get seats. That leaves 30 stu­dents standing, until a local squad car goes by and the kids hit the

dust, thwarting another police raid.

It's a long way from the days at Q II when Ed used to tell us riddles and promise to give the answer the next day. That way he was fairly certain he would have at least his five regular passengers.

The local cleaning industry should soon get more business. The dust and dirt on the luggage racks seem to find their way onto the fingers of the standing passen­gers whereupon it is transferred to pants, skirts and jackets.

The overcrowded buses tend to sharpen one's senses as the smoke of cigarettes, pipes and joints fil­ters through the air. But the smell isn't nearly as bad as last

year ... perhaps the free samples of Ban and Dial from the Gift Packs are getting a work out.

If one can survive the smoke and heat of 80 closely-packed sar­dines, the noise should provide a challenge. This does not refer to the quiet murmurings of your fel­low passengers either. Rather it is the loud protests of the bus as. it ploughs it's way over another hole in the pavement. A noise which one passer-by suggested-sounds like the start of World War III, as the tanks go out to defend the fron­tier.

But don't take my word for it. Flag down a Humber bus today and join the happy. throng of Easy Riders.

Bob ai�s to get Humber on the move

By KATHY McCABEIf you've been to any of the

meetings on Wednesday after­noons in the auditorium and you should have, you will know who Bob Davis is. Bob comes to Hum­ber for one day a week. He is being paid half by the student union and the other half by the college. He is neither an instructor nor an ad­ministrator. The word that best describes his purpose here is "or­ganizer". He is going to help Humber do something we can't seem to do on our own.

Bob is going to work with any interested students and faculty in setting up large Wednesday meet­ings and small seminars on gener­al issues. They will include college matters such as our present grad-

ing system or student evaluation of instructors. Social issues like Womens Liberation, pollution and the Spadina Expressway might provide a focus for further action.

In the small amount of time Bob has to work with us, he will get the students to, look beyond their classroom walls, at Humber Col­lege as an institution, and to look even further at the community.

With Bob Davis's organization and an interested and willing stu­dent body the changes that we have been talking about, we will get.

So come to the meetings every Wednesday afternoon in the audi­torium. If you nave any griev­ances this is the time to rend the air.

P••toOI(ING IN AND LOOKING ouT·'·•m

John McCarthy's stated rea­sons for resigning his presiden­cy of the Student Union re-open the old controversy surround­ing Humber's 'i;-ole.

Few would challenge Mc­Carthy's suggestion that Hum­ber's objective should be the

_,_ development of switched-on citizens able to give richly of themselves to enrich late-20th century Canadian society.

Does this mean we should ditch all vocational programs which might oe tainted with commercial usefulness?

It is fashionable to jeer at the possibility that we might learn anything from the experience of our grandfathers

> but those old enough to remem­ber the 1920s and '30s havegruesome stories to tell of theeffects of economic breakdownon the common man.

Whether or not we shareMcCarthy's revulsion for BigBusiness, Big Industry and BigGovernment, we have to admitthat these were the monstersthat gave birth to Humber Col­lege. At this time - whateverthe attractions of the simplelife - we could run into serioustrouble in providing simple,taken-for-granted things likedrinkable water, health care,sewage disposal, a regularfood supply, for the millions

views from the fourth floor who inhabit our cities, if these -monsters did not exist.

The day is not far off when the machines will do all our work and we will be free to lead completely fulfilled lives (or worry about what to do with our leisure) but a prema­ture withdrawal from the straight world by a significant number of our brighter young people could mean the collapse of an economic system which even now cannot. cope effec­tively with inflation.

At best there would be con­siderable hardships for those opting out, and heavy pressure to support them on those con­tinuing the fight within the economic system.

There is nothing new in this division of opinion, however. It is basically healthy. Even those who disagree profoundly with McCarthy's sentiments will, in many cases, admit that without idealism,, like Mc­Carthy's our society as a whole and our College in particular would be very much poorer.

Too many

people? Will marriage and the Chris­

tian concept of the family sur­vive the 20th century?

The increasing pressure of population at a time when man is wreaking violence upon his environment by often thought­less exploitation and, more especially, by polluting land, sea and air, leads many to the conclusion that an institution calculated to promote procrea­tion must soon be labelled anti­social.

Any kind of behavior thus stigmatized is in danger of ul­timately being considered an evil, outrageous to moral sense.

Much of the Church's tradi­tional opposition to any limita­tion on the size of families is a hangover from the days when

it was an important part of the Church's function to ensure that Christians were in no dan­ger of being outnumbered and overcome by infidel invaders ·_ a very real danger whei:iplague could wipe out half acity in weeks.

Then, social necessity be­came, to some extent, the mother of morality.

There seems no reason to doubt that history will repeat itself in reverse - unless fore­stalled.

The controversy over birth control - which, one way or another, must be achieved at an early date unless we can rely on pollution causing a high incidence of sterility, or get involved in a nuclear war -shows that numbers of Chris­tians (who are not the worst offenders where the population explosion is concerned) see marriage as being basically an institution for breeding.

It looks as if mankind will have to forget such ideas. An increasing number of people will face futures empty of the joys and sorrows of parenthood if starvation and the varied ills of over-crowding are to be avoided. - It will be a bleak world, but ·as man shows little inclinationto cut the rate at which he re-

What do you think? The population bulge pro­

produces to one appropriate to food supplies which earth can produce - there seems no al­ternative. other than the grisly possibilities mentioned above.

So the family is doomed. Motherhood, if permitted at all, may seen an act so grossly anti-social as to be obscene.

Impossible though it seems today in so empty a land as ours, there may not be room for many more in the 21st cen­tury. If we have not filled our land, we may be sure that oth­ers will - cousins perhaps of the Mongolian stock which first wandered across it.

That possibility may, of course, be presented as an argument for boosting the pop-

. ulation rather than curbing it, but a population race at the present time would have, per­haps, even less moral and ra­tional basis than the more fa­miliar arms race.

Long-range political prophe­cy is not a rewarding subject in these days, but the statisti­cians' evidence on population growth and the earth's capaci­ty to sustain it, gives us little reason for hope that the family might survive without a marked change in attitudes to birth control.

Already a chapter of Zero Population Growth Inc. has been established in .Toronto to advocate population control. Its founder, U of T zoologist Dr. Chris Plowright agrees with the rest of us that legal action to control population is a last resort, and urges that public education on the issues involved and incentives of one sort or another to limit breed­ing are the answer.

Let's' watch this judge

"If long hair is going to be­come the fashion for young men· we will be seeing more and more of them all the time in the Magistrates' Courts. There is just no future for them outside of the beneficent confines of the excellent peni­tentiaries and reformatories that are ready and willing to receive them."

Thus said the Ontario Magis­trates' Quarterly three years ago when Provincial Judge S. Tupper Bigelow of Toronto was editor.

The judge has never pleaded guilty to expressing the above sentiments, which were ac­companied by suggestions that even the parents of long-haired "deadbeats" deserved to be locked up for the way they had brought up their children, but he has disqualified himself from hearing some cases against long-haired youths.

Last month the judge unbent a little and admitted that times had changed when a lawyer defending long-haired Andrew Adach of York University chal­lenged the 69-year-old judge with the Quarterly's rabid out­burst.

Times have changed Judge Bigelow admitted, but he still stuck a 30-day jail sentence on Andy for ca using a disturbance by "shouting and swearing" outside the U.S. consulate af­ter the Kent State killings in May.

Is anyone going to suggest a mandatory retiring age of 65 for judges?

POETS' CORNER LOVE POEM

0 to be alive and in love In the wild blue days of spring, When all Nature is dying, Poisoned with sprays and effluents Of factories. When once-scented may Is burdened with burnt blossom.

0 to be alive and in love In the blue winds of spring, When the wood pigeon dies a lingering death From treated corn seed, And the linnet sings no more from the thorn, Her throat bleeding On her final song. 0 to be alive and in love, As the wren chokes in her husband nest, And the holes of earth are filled With rotting feathers!

0 to be alive and in love In the blowing spring days. When the worm sucks in weed killer And sweet daisies die Under the flame-thrower. When the seas are whitened With mica from china clay pits And the great sea fish take it in To suffocate in their deep salty caverns. Or that noble pike in its inland water Seeks its green death bed, swells And bursts wirhfacror y waste.

0 to be alive and in love In the crimson days of summer, When petrol fumes burn the useless leaves Off oak and beech. 0 to be breathing Diesel fumes in the dying copses!

0 the Joy to be alive and in love In the lingering summer nights. With your girl in your arms, Her young flesh under you And free abortion round the corner. Or the pill. 0 Thejoy to kill Life that was never sprung!

0 the joy ro be alive and in love In never-ending summer nights, To wander the sweet woods through Where all is dying under jail our, The ver y air toxic and wild flowers More deadly than deadly nightshade. The ow/for all his feathers is a corpse.

0 to be alive and in love When the lorry passes with its load Of poison gases, up the Great West Road.

Student Union business By BRENDA SMALLMAN

Hum-Drum, October 16, 1970

Student Union Cabinet members will be elected this year by the whole student body for the first time since Humber started.

With the adoption of a new con­stitution, elections must take place in each division.

The-constitution states that "the students of each division and cam­pus shall be represented by four representatives from each aca­demic division, elected by the stu­dents of that division in the fall."

There will be four cabinet members from each division: Applied & Liberal Arts, Creative Arts, Business, and Technology,

You're part of LIFE

FORCE Humber once Humber twice Holy jumping Jesus Christ Flimflam god dam Son of'a bitch, shit.

This raucous, rauncy, informal cheer, was heard above the roar of people at last year's hockey games, dances and hayrides, and was usually set off by a member of Humber's Maroon and Goid Socie­ty.

Last year Humber student, Marilyn McCoy, led the fight for student involvement in college social life as chairman of Maroon and Gold.

She worked with a small band of the society's members to plan such events as Orientation Week, dances, Winter Carnival and mov­ie nights.

When an event fizzled the merry band of society members were handed threats, slanders and any­thing but co-operation from the student masses.

This year Maroon and Gold has been replaced by "Life Force".

Life Force, is energized by Bil Hurst and Gerry Spaziani and de­serves the support of every stu­dent in this college.

The object of the new commit­tee, is to get students to come to either of the co-chairmen, with ideas for any kind of social func­tion.

Gerry and Bil will work with the submitter and other interested people to handle such things as transportation and publicity.

The Student Union hopes that Life Force will end the hassles which stopped Maroon and Gold last year. Now the same people will not be planning every func­tion. To work Life Force needs your energy, do it!

WHO? You and one of us. WHY? Because EVERYBODY, at some time, needs someone to talk to and trust. WHEN? When life gets too complicated and you don't know where to turn. When things aren't going well. When nobody else will really LIS­TEN. WHERE? Stop and chat in the cafeteria - or wherever you find us. Come up to our third floor offices. If we're busy - ask our secretary to make an appointment for you. Counsellors: Florence Martyn, Ray Morris Student Advisors: Business Divi­sion - Joan Girvan, Andy Anund­son; Creative Arts Division -Tom Chambers, Bob Barker; Ap­plied & Liberal Arts Division -Larry Richard.

with at least one member from each campus. For example the Busi_ness division having students in two campuses, must have one representative from Keelesdale campus.

The constitution also says that "each elector shall have as many votes as there are vacancies. Therefore Applied and Liberal Arts students at the North campus will vote for three representa­tives, while Liberal Arts students at the South will vote for one.

The same applies to all other divisions with the exception of

Creative Arts, who have students at only the North campus.

In previous years Cabinet members were appointed by the. collection of names of 25 students from certain divisions for the Stu­dent Union.

Although this system did get some student members, there was· a lack of representation from cer­tain divisions, which meant that problems from that division were never brought before the S. U.

Election day will be next Mon­day.

Voting will be by secret ballot. Each student will be required to produce his identification card

before voting and no student may cast more than one ballot.

Ballots will be marked incor­rect if a student marks the ballot by any other method than an "X" in the designated area and if a stu­dent does not vote for the number of candidate vacancies at his campus.

The S.U. executive hopes that the new procedure involving elec­tions in each division, will bring about better communication be­tween divisions and campuses, about student problems and ideas.

For the benefit of the first year students, the S. U. is an organiza­tion made up of elected student

members, whose purpose is to represent the students; to initiate, sponsor, direct and provide facili­ties for the services, activities and other matters in which ·student interests are involved. The Union is the agency for communication between the administration and officials of the college and the stu­dent body.

The S. U. is there to help solve problems, and officials ask all students to go to their reps, or to the S. U. portable office located at the north end of the North campus. As iris the only yellow one, you can't miss it if you need belp in any matter.

CHBR is on to stay on

"Nobody has the right to turn us off!" says Mel Gunton, director of CHBR, Humber's North Campus radio station.

"CHBR is no longer a funky, play-time, radio station."

CHBR's new management team is developing the station as a self­sufficient commercial medium to serve the interests of the students, he explained, and CHBR will broadcast to all public areas of the college as long as the students want the service.

One of the station's managers, Dave Bartlett (PR III) explained there will be significant changes in CHBR's operation. This year he plans to run it on policy set down by the station's executive.

Last year, Humberites will remember the frequent break­downs in broadcasts coupled with confused, unpunctual news re­ports. Two newly-added studios promise elimination of these prob­lems, giving more efficient news service and opportunity for com­mercial advertising.

It is hoped this will help pay operation costs.

The new CHBR will schedule reports of interest to Business students on Thursday mornings.

Uncle S.A.M. needs you · A new movement has risen to

promote the cause of Athletics atHumber. The Student AthleticMovement, S.A.M. for short, is anew version of the Athletic Execu­tive Committee designed to givestudents more say in the runningof Humber's dwindling athleticprogram.

The organization was set up dur­ing the summer by the athletic executive which was chosen last spring. The rest of the S.A.M. members are being chosen by indi­vidual classes to give everyone a fair chance to voice their opinion on how athletics should be run.

Students are invited to submit ideas for new sports to their class representatives or the S.A.M. ex­ecutive; Mike Hayes, President; Peter Cronin, Vice-President; Bob Goodall, Secretary; or Neil Mc­Callum, Treasurer.

•

Intramural hockey for men and powder-puff hockey for women will begin in about a week. Games will be played at Pine Point and Long Branch arenas.

Athletics invites all interested students to organize their class into a team and submit their team list to S.A.M. office at North Campus.

Schedules and more information will be available after the submis­sion of team lists.

•

Attention all would-be athletes. Get your running shoes out of the mothballs. Humber College is going to have its athletic bubble.

Officially it has already started.

_ Sport at Humber with Rick Davis,

John Halls and Ross Freake

The sod-turning ceremony took place on Oct. 5, and the 154 by 124-foot bubble should be completed late in November.

Now for the benefit of the first year people who don't know what the bubble is. It is a plastic hemi­sphere about the size of two high school gymnasia. Inside, the bub­ble will contain a syntheticc play­ing surface large enough for two and a half tennis courts.

The team and instructional sports scheduled for the bubble will include fencing, yoga, weight� training,'ballet, modern dancing, tennis, badminton, basketball, mini-monster ball, European team handball, and ball hockey.

When there aren't classes scheduled the bubble will be open to students, staff and faculty. For the hyper-cleans among us, there will be portable showers connect­ed to the bubble.

•

Football has finally come to Humber! Flag football, that is. Games began the week of Oct. 5 for men and Oct 7 for WOMEN. Positions are still available on most teams for any student - any sex.

The girls will play each Wednes­day at noon. Girls' teams, reps and their phone numbers are as follows: Secretarial Science -Lyn Hunter, at 247-6784; Recrea­tion Leadership - Jill Barber, at
