Making a living: Panhandlers selling papers are given a chance to prove to people that they can contribute to society while earning money for themselves.

The Outrider: Working to rescue usfrom our prejudices

by Steuen (Campbell

The Outrider Publisher's

dream of allowing pan-handlers in Toronto to

provide a service to passers-by

is coming true.

Former high school science

teacher Jim Mackin decided to

start the newspaper of hisdreams. He called thosedreams The Outrider.

The paper is now on its third

edition and is being publishedweeKly to enable the newspapervendors, the homeless, needyand underemployed formerpanhandlers to make moremoney.

"I don't want a views paperand I don't want a blues paper."

said Jim Mackin. speakingabout the kind of paper hewants to produce.

The newspaper vendors are

allowed to keep all the profits

from the first 15 papers theysell each day. When they sell

all of their papers for a dollar

each, they are charged 20 cents

for each additional copy theyare given.

"The idea for The Outridercame from Bloor Street People

panhandling, begging (have) nohope of getting work." saidMackin.

He wanted to make sure the

vendors had a service to pro-

vide, so that they can Justify to

passers-by on the street andthemselves that they are con-tributing to society and areneeded and worthwhile people.

Mackin and his volunteerstaff convinced the prospective

newspaper vendors that. "It's

not a gimmick and no one is

tiylng to use them."

So far. the paper has dealt

with city Issues such as thenoise of trafBc. news from third

world countries, entertainmentsuch as movie, music andrestaurant reviews. They alsofeature artwork, interesting pic-

tures and editorials.

There are no paid staff at

The Outrider — only volunteers

such as Mackin. and his wife,

who acts as receptionist

The contributors are. "volun-

teers, realty," said Jim Mackin.There have been advertisements

in all three editions of TheOutrider for artists, writers andphotographers.

Mackin said there are power-

ful people out there who read

The Outrider, which is pub-lished in Ottawa, and is sold in

Toronto. Hamilton and Ottawa.

The Outrider has retired

employees of The Toronto Star

and The Globe and Mail helping

to produce the paper.

Mackin hopes to pay contrib-

utors for their woiie eventually,

as well as help the homeless,needy and underemployed.

In the paper's declaration of

principles, it says. "Our news-paper is distributed onfy by the

homeless and needy."

Mackin said the response to

the paper has been, "positive,

unbellevabty so. Elvery level (of

society) has responded." Therehave been offers from peoplepromising articles, pictures andartwork from as far away asThailand.

Mackin said he is trying to

produce a paper that has ahomeless or disadvantaged peo-

ple's angle in most stories.

Mackin said he has invested

$10,000 at this pointA vendor, who works in the

Yorkvllle area, said. "We makemore than before vi^en we werebegging. Most of the others(vendors) say they make moretoo."

He also said, "people arepretty happy with it (the news-paperl."

Mackin said. IVe don't makeup the shortfall." that it costs to

produce the paper. The adver-

tising pays for the jntxiuctlon of

the paper, and the vendors

keep the money people give

them.Jim Miller, manager of The

Sports Connection, an advertis-

er said. "We haven't had anycomments as of yet, but wethought it was a nice gesture."

If staff at The Outrider notice

drug or alcohol dependency bythe newspaper vendors, "wedon't give them papers." said

Mackin.Is the paper going to last?

'Tou bet, it's going to be herefor a while." said Mackin.

SAC cleans up and gets seriousBailey - leaving the past behind»7 ic loaviniT the Haiiirhter wants to run SACby Sean Logan

Following a controversial

election last year. Humber'snew Students' AssociationCouncil (SAC) presidentbelieves SAC must clean up its

act to be taken seriously.

"If SAC loses any more of its

credibility within the college.

(SAC) might as well close its

doors," said new president

Lesia Bailey.

During last year's elections.

Bailey's strongest competitor

and SAC vice-president,

Dennis Hancock, was disquali-

fied on the second day of vot-

ing. After two warnings fromchief returning officer GregMcCardle for posting too manycampaign posters, Hancockhad the excess postersremoved. However, he was dis-

quaUfied a week later for the

same violation.

Hancock said someonebroke into his office, stole the

posters and put them back up.

Bailey. 27, is leaving the

past behind and plans to turn

S/VC around. She said she will

work with administration to

guarantee that SAC has a

place in the decision-makingprocess of the college.

However. Mark Berardo.SAC'S director of publicity andpublic relations, has his

doubts.

"Right now we're giving andgiving and we're just hopingthat they're going to give stuff

back," he said. "A lot of us are

skeptical that administration

will give us what we want."

Bailey said SAC's membersmust act professionsdty if any-

thing is to be accomplished.

"When I came here," shesaid, "I saw SAC as being self-

serving to only one group of

people—them and their

friends. Just a bunch of 17 or

18 year olds looking to have a

good time."

The marketing student andmother of a nine-year-old

daughter wants to run SAClike a business. Having already

received her business manage-ment diploma. Bailey also hasexperience as a SAC divisional

rep and SAC's director of mul-

ticulturalism.

John Johnstone, anotherSAC councillor, believes

Bailey's experience will be adefinite asset.

"She's not here for the ego

trip (of being president)," said

the former Hancock supporter.

"She's here for the right rea-

sons. She'll get SAC runningthe way it should be run."

Bailey's opinion is that

SAC's business is to service

the students, and she wants to

assure students that any deci-

sions made will be publicknowledge. She also encour-

ages suggestions and input

from every student.

"I'm not (the councillors')

choice," she said, "I'm the stu-

dents' choice. I was notacclaimed...I was elected."

NDP leaders meet face to face

All smiles - Rae and McLaughlin express NDP unity

by Marshal Lt^ona

In a meeting last Fridaybetween the Ontario PremierRob Rae emd his federal coun-

terpart Audrey McLaughUn. it

was clear that both 4eaderswere ready to bury their differ-

ences and gear up for the fed-

eral elections.

Although McLaughlin hasfirmly voiced her opinionagainst Rae's social contract

legislation in the past thePremier gave her a wcirm wel-

come."I'm proud as a New

Democrat and as your friend

to be sharing this platformwith you tonight and to share

a platform in this electioncampaign," said Rae

The NDP is the only party

firmly against the NorthAmerican Free Trade Agree-ment (NAFTA). McLaughlin

"People have to makethe decision in thefed-

eral election of whothey really want to

see elected. Theymust not let any other

issue get in the way."- Bob Rae.

made it clear why she wasmeeting with Rae. "We arejoined with Bob Rae tonight to

say no to NAFTA and to say noto unemplojrment," she said.

While McLaughlin's refer-

ence to Rae was brief, she didsay that the unions who arefighting with Rae will have to

deal with the Premier to sort

out their differences.

When Rae was asked if hebelieved people would consider

not voting for McLaughlinbecause of him he said,

"People have to make the deci-

sion in the federal election of

who they really want to seeelected. They must not let anyother issue get in the way."

The meeting was considered

to be an important step for

McLaughlin's federal campaignin order to stop any specula-

tion about her differenceswith the Ontario Premier.

BOG gets new chairpersonby Kriatqffer Mueller

With newly elected chairs,

and eight new board members,number's Board of Governors(BOG) has undergone a drastic

facelift.

Monday's meeting saw Dr.

Winsome Smith, last year's

vice-chair, elected chair of the

board. The position was previ-

ously held by David Murray, agraduate of Humber's business

program, whose maximumsix-year term as a member of

the board has expired. EnzaColavecchia, last year's educa-

tion committee chair, waselected vice-chair of the board.

At the start of the schoolyear, eight board members left

because their terms expired.

"We've never had so manyboard members leave at once,"

President Robert Gordon said.

"NormeVy, we have two or

three le^. ing at a time."

To avoid losing so manymembers in the future, theboard passed a motion to stag-

ger their terms, but Gordondid not believe losing so manyat once was a problem. "1

don't think it was a drawback,"

Gordon said. "It will be excit-

ing to see how the new board

members contribute to the col-

lege. We're adding a lot of newperspectives with the newmembers."

The new members are Dr.

Avis Glaze. North York School

Superintendent; BarbaraBrewster. Humber supportstaff representative; JaniceGodfrey. Management BoardSecretariat consultant; JohnGrlbben . City of York repre-

sentative; E. Gay Mitchell.

Vice- Prersldent of the RoyalBank of Canada; KeithGordon. Aboriginal Lawyer;Mike Lishnak. Ebcecutive Vice-

President of Gross Machinery;

and student representative

Hargumar Randhawa.Ttie elections also decided

the new chairs of the three

committees within the board.

Werner Loiskandl was elected

to chair education, Ben L.

Sennik will chair the property

committee, and Jim McCarthywill head up finance. Thethree were all members of last

year's board. The deputy

chairs for education, property

and finance are Dr. Glaze.Lishnak and Mitchell.

Summer is a busy season

for Humber's Student Resi-

dence, with several bookings

for conferences and ban-quets.

Residence's revenue wasrou^ty $190,000.

"There were less than 20regular students whoremained for the summer,"said Lynn Nagasuye,Manager of Conferences andServices. Residence acts as asummer hotel for academic

and sport groups. Groupsmade up most of the busi-

ness.

Nagasi^e also coordinated

the rental of the seventhsemester lounge, the athletic

wing and other places.

"It's good for those jgroups

looking for relatively cheapaccommodation. We can offer

them everything from ban-quet areas to athletic facili-

ties," said Nagasuye.

Nightly stays average $20.

E^ch room is cleaned regu-

larly and linen is provided.

For large groups or confer-

ences, rates can be negotiat-

ed according to the numberof people staying.

"It's basically the samekind of facility as a hotel,"

said Nagasuye. "but it's just

for a variety of different pur-

poses."

Students can obtain sum-mer Jobs at Residence as

cleaning and cafeteria staff,

or as desk clerks. This wasthe first summer that FoodServices in Residenceremained open, making din-

ing more convenient

"They made quite a profit

and more people seem to like

using Food Services in

Residence, rather thanplaces like The Pipe."

Nagasuye said.

Humber goes globalNew telecommunications program is a ramp to the electronic highway

Humber etc... Sept. 16, 1993 5

by LiesI Orattan-King

Workers are returning to

school for retraining asHumber tailors its businessprograms to meet high-techchanges in the marketplace.

Lloyd Rintoul, dean of

Number's business school said

that more sind more compa-nies are entering the electronic

highway — the electronic

means of transferring almostany information: vofce, com-puter data, graphics, andvideo from one place to anoth-

er. This is changing the waybusiness is done worldwide.

"We have zeroed-in on this

whole idea of the electronic

highway to develop programsfor our students," Rintoul said.

One of the first moves hasbeen to upgrade an Office

Administration certificate

course in Telecommunications

to a one-year, post-graduateprogram.

With an admission require-

ment of a university degree or

a college diploma and at least

four years of experience in the

industry, most of the pro-,

gram's 16 students are either

using it as a refresher course

or as a step toward a jobchange.

"Most of us have alreadyworked in the industry," said

Jama Abdiganl, one of the stu-

dents. "Some of us have about20 years of experience. I've

been doing all kinds of work in

electronics — but after finish-

ing this (the program), I'm try-

ing to get something decent."

Another student, AddisonHua, said he has worked with

a manufacturer of telecommu-nications equipment in HongKong but since he immigrated

to Canada one-and-a-halfyears ago, he couldn't And aJob.

"Now, I'm updating myskills," he said.

Dave Haisell, the programcoordinator, said the programemphsisizes the sales and mar-keting aspect of telecommuni-cations —not its technicalside.

"We have a few switchingsystems for the students to see

how they work," he said, "but

the program is not designed to

produce technicians."

Haisell believes studentsshould understand the differ-

ent regulations governingtelecommunications in differ-

ent 2ireas of the world.

"The program is designed to

produce systems anafysts anddesigners who'll work with acompany that wants to imple-

ment telecommunications anddetermine what the best route

would be," Haisell explained.

"It's designed for thosewho'll work in sales and mar-keting for manufacturers like

Northern Telecom or for net-

work providers like Bell

Csmada," he added.

Haisell said the new pro-

gram is based on the advice of

representatives from compa-nies which are either users or

makers of telecommunication

equipment."Based on the input from

our advisory committee, a uni-

versity graduate who has beenthrough a specialty engineered

program in telecommunica-tions would find it fairly easy

to find a job," he said.

A member of that commit-tee, John Davies, vice-presi-

dent of systems technology at

Northern Telecom in

Mississauga said the programrecognizes that we are in anenterprising global market-place where companies form

joint ventures Avith each other

halfway around the world.

"Companies are dependenton telecommunication to

transmit inforaiation," Davies

said. "You cannot imaginemanaging a domestic companyis the same as managing oneinternationally.

"I think that if the business

industry knows you're develop-

ing this skill, they'll come look-

ing for these people."

Haisell said they have also

introduced a course in

telecommunications into the

three-year computer informa-

tion S3rstems program for post-

secondary students.

Fast-foodfrenzy

at HumberbyAndremParaona

A fast, familiar alternative

to cafeteria food is nowoffered at Humber.

Pizza Pizza and Mr. Subhave set up shop at the col-

lege to fill the void left byonce-a-week pizza slices andplastic-wrapped subs.

According to Director of

Ancillary Services JohnMason, line-ups prove that

there Is a need for such pop-

ular take-out foods.

"People generally prefer

trademarks, ' said Mason,adding that American marketresearch shows that "brand-

name product sales go up by50 per cent on college anduniversity campuses."

Following the lead of uni-

versities in Waterloo andGuelph, Humber Is allowing

Pizza Pizza to set-up at

Lakeahore, the north camptt$and in residence.

Mason 3aid tll« college

buys pre-made f^s from the

pizza chain and heats the

silces^ In a specif, desj^tied

oven for ^0 aecotids. Theslice* whith aren't $old ^fttfe-

in an hour of heating are sent

back to the pizza chain

.

Mr. Sub is a one-year pilot

program and its sales will

determine whether it wiU stay

or not. The sub-maker rents

space in the Pipe and sharesprofits with the college.

"My choice is Mr. Sub,"said Danny Modesto, a first-

year engineering student. "It's

just my preference."

There is "potential" to

harm Humber's own food ser-

vice, said Mason, but hebelieves that the new services

will create a positive sales

mix in the end,

"I like to think that there's

no competition." said Kerry

Brodeur, owner of the Mr.Sub cart. "1 like to think we're

co-profiting as much as pos-

sible."

Since there is insulTicient

space for pr<^>er refrigeration

in the Ptp$, Brodeur stores

non-perishable goods at his

Mr. Sub store in Bolton andbuys the food directly fromthe manufacturer. Sales at

both stores are good^ eventhough the college outkii is

"compacted into five 4agw of

one shift."

No otiher fest food ch^Onsare expected on campusbecause oflimited space.

The Woodbine

Wasteland

Who Is responsible for the safety of Humber stu-

dents?

By virtue of our tuition fees it would seem that the

administration is. and that it should take such respon-

sibility seriously. Why. then, are the college's oflf-cam-

pus parking facilities Just waiting to happen? Woodbinein the evening Is especially dangerous — a vast waste-

land secluded from residents, passersby and traffic. Nolamposts grace this lot; not even reflective paint on the

wooden posts that dot its perimeters.

Over the past few years, several female studentsrequired to park at Woodbine were stranded after hourswith car trouble. With the nearest telephone a few miles

away, these women were easy targets for anyone with

crime on his or her mind.The Woodbine Racetrack rents a section of their lot to

Humber, yet Humber officials claim the college isn't

responsible for what happens on that property.

As students, our affiliation with this institution wouldalone dictate the college assume some responsibility for

us when we are on its property. Since our tuition fees

are Intended—and used—in part for Humber's security

services, we can expect at least some protection of oursafety. Additionally, those who drive to school are

required to pay hefty parking fees for the luxuries of

grassy lots and the HumBus. We should be able to get

more for our money.Improving the safety on campus and the Woodbine

lot should be a top priority for Humber, especially in

light of rising crime rates in Toronto. It may cost a fewbucks to install Ughtbulbs. telephones and a security

guard or two. but the cost of alegal suit after the fact is

much more expensive.

Time's Up

!

Well it's over!

The grace period that the registrar's office gener-

ousfy bestows upon the humble students at HumberCollege. September 13 was the final day to drop a

class without losing your money.That seems fair doesn't it? After all, that is two

weeks to figure out what classes appeal to you, andthen to make the changes needed without penalty.

Great!

Well suppose, just for a minute, that when youarrive at school the first day, there isn't a timetable

with your name on it. Then, imagine that you have

to stand in line to find out Just what classes androoms you are assigned to. Then, envision yourself

struggling with a confusing school layout, newcourses, new instructors, the OSAP line and all of

the other pressures of the first few days at school.

(Not much of a stretch is it?)

All of this make believe has been a reality to

mai^. Lots of students haven't even been fortunate

enou^ to make it to their first class yet let alone

make a serious decision about its benefit to their

scholastic career.

If the administration and registrar's offices deemit necessary to make the deadlines for such serious

decisions so short, then they themselves should

strive to be more efficient

FOTtXJJS/K ^the perfect roommate

Alter moving In to my new a{>8ulxnent, it was with

great horror that I realised my condition — ! was ail

alone.

Now. this was something that I had looked for-

ward to all my adolescent and adult life, and after

three days I hated It. In an attempt to keep mysanity (I was afraid that one plant was on the verge

of talking back) I decided to get a roommate.It was with Uttic space In mind and few funds In

pocket, that I headed to the pet store. I needed acomrade that could offer companionship and enter-

tainment, but at the same time was low in mainte-

nance and cheap.

The store was having a guinea pig sale, and to

my delight one looked remark^ly like our BorderColhe at home. So for $6.99:jS| worth of

animal in a pet store window, it 1$ easy to forget

that It will require an awfiil lot of attention.

Cute and adorable puppies often grow-up to belarge and very hungry dogs, while playful little kit-

tens can ruin drapery and furniture with their

sharp little claws.

Companion animals require dally feeding andexercise. They need annual check-ups and manyrequire annual immunization.

Unfortunately, humane societies are overpopu-lated with forsaken pets, whose owners have cometo regret their impulsive purchases. These shelters

report that many cases of animal neglect stem fromowners who are not willing, or able, to afford the

time and money required to look after their animalsproperty.: ,.

I noticed while cleaning her cage one morning,that my Uttle friend was very quiet. When I picked

It was with mbced emotions, and a deflated pock-et book, that I received the news that Betty-Lou waswith child — children actually, fFo this d^ the pet

store claims to know nothing about the circum-stances that led to her embarrassing situation.)

Happily. Betty-Lou perpetuated the guinea pig

Humber editors face off

hy Doug Lucas 8L Nadia H.Shouaher

It Is commonly understood that atrapped animal Is the most dangerousanimal. Backed Into a corner. It

despairs of any viable escape andrealizes it stands completely alone. In

this, what seems a no-win situation,

the desperate animal lashes out at

the forces responsible for its predica-

ment.This Is a good scenario to the

recent Cobourg assault case. A public

school principal Doug Kennedy, hadsexually molested a boy for threeyears, but It Is the victim's father whoIs paying for the crime.

When the father found out ,hebelieved the only option was to con-

front the pedophile who had cruelly

victimized his young child. The princi-

pal's callous Indifference to his crime,

and the sheer Injustice of it provokedthe father to attack Kennecty with analuminum baseball bat

Kennedy suffered two broken legs

and a bloody nose; but what is that

compared to the emotional traumasuffered by the child? Who Is the real

victim here? A man who blatantly

abused his power by preying on adefenceless child, or the father whofeared the law would not adequately

punish him?The sentence doled out to

Kennedy proved his fear.

Kennecfy received two years less aday, and the father could face 14years for aggravated assault

While the father realized his out-

burst was wrong (as he proved byImmediately turning himself In) hebelieved the alternatives were almost

nil. Would the legal system believe the

child over a well-respected leader of a

small community? If convicted would

Kennedy's sentence fit the crime?

The cornered animal syndromereigned. "I had two other children

going to thesame school,"the fatherexplained. "Whatdo 1 do to stophim and protect

my family?"

Granted, hecould havedepended on "the

system" to meteout justice. Buthe could Just aslikely have beendisappointed bythe form of Jus-tice It routinelydelivers.

While theassault by thefather. Is under-standable, thedisparity in sen-

tencing Is noth-ing but a traves-

ty ofJustice. Kennedy is the aggressor

in this case, yet he may receive alighter sentence than the victim's

feither. \(iio tried to stop the criminal

firom Inflicting his violence on others.

Instead of incarceration, the father

should be hoisted on the shoulders of

society and lauded for reminding ourlawmakers that violence against chil-

dren will not be tolerated.

Until the legal system is changedso that criminals are properly pun»ished and victims properly compen-sated, vigilante acts like this one will

continue. For citizens disheartenedwith the system as it stands, this sort

of "Justice for the people, by the peo-

ple" will continue. The sooner the law-

makers realize this, the sooner true

Justice will prevail.

As the ftither lamented. The courts

have to make it so youVe got someother choice."

The Issue...

• Last"week a Cobourg father wasconvicted of aggravated assault after

he beat a man with a baseball batwho had sexualty abused his son.• The father, whose name cannnot berevealed In order to protect his 14-

year old son's identity, broke both of

the man's legs with an aluminumbaseball bat after learning of theabuse.• The father will appear In court again

for sentencing on Oct 19. and could

face 14 years In Jail.

• Douglas Kennecfy, a former princi-

pal and family friend, was sentenced

last June to two years less a day In

Jail for abusing the boy over a three

year period.

Modern society

has long left thetree and no longer

acts purely oninstinct. We havedeveloped the abil-

ity to reason andhave created asystem of lawswhich reflect ourevolution. OurJustice system is

evidence of ourdesire to live

together peaceflil-

Instead of refy-

ing on the Justice

system, the father

of the boy who wassexually assaulted took it upon him-self to dispense Justice. He viciousty

attacked Doug Kennedy with a base-

ball bat. He was subsequently con-

victed of assault and faces up to 14

The father has notbeen charged with his

failure to be a goodlather.

years in prison.

The father himself said that heregrets his actions: "It wasn't worthdoing vrhaX I did. It's put our lives onhold for who knows how long and cost

us an awful lot of money in legal fees

and now I don't know what kind of

Jail time I'm going to do."

The father has not been charged

with his failure to be a good father, hefaces punishment because he com-mitted a crime. While we may share

his passion and anger, we mustremember that we are part of a bigger

society and must rety on it to admin-ister Justice.

Outrage has greeted the conviction

of the father £uid the seemingly short

sentence of Kennedy. The irony of

Kennedy's sentence comes through In

the Judge's ruling in which he said

that the sentence would have beenharsher had the father not assaulted

Kennecfy.

It is a sign of the times that people

have lost so much faith in the social

structure of society - including the

Justice system- that they have turnedto vigilantism to dispense Justice.

Actions such as those of the Cobourgfather will not make the system woric

any better.

When people act beyond the Justice

system and rely on vigilantism the

moral fabric of society decays and the

final result is mob rule.

History will remember the actions

of the father - understandable or not -

not the horrendous actions of theprincipal. His actions will be remem-bered because of the nature of the

attack, the pubUc reaction and the

press it was given.

Can we allow our Justice system to

be tainted by the desire for revenge?

People's cynicism of the court sys-

tem may be deserved but society as awhole must act to change our sys-

tem/laws/courts and not set a prece-

dent allowing one person to use vio-

lence to revenge violence.

It has been many years sinceMahatma Gandhi said, "An eye for aneye makes the whole worid blind." Yet

It holds as true today as It ever did.

The politics of testingby Monika Janik

If you are considering tak-

ing an HIV Test, you shouldknow the difference betweenconfldential and anonymoustesting. The two seem simi-

lar, but only one truly pro-

tects the person's identity.

The HIV anUbody test is ablood test that indicateswhether a person has beeninfected by the HumanImmunodeficiency Virus(HIV), which is believed to be

the cause ofAIDS.Confidential testing is per-

formed through a physician: aHealth Card is therefore nec-

ess2iry to obtain the service.

All HIV antibody tests in

Ontario are sent to theMinistiy of Health (MOH) lab.

By law, doctors are required

to report the names of those

infected to the local MedicalOfficer of Health.Confidential, therefore, is not

really confidential. For this

reason, many people decide to

test anonymously."Anonymous testing guar-

antees the person's name will

not appear on the lab slips,"

said Marie, a registered nursefrom the Public HealthDepgirtment. She explainedpeople often prefer to visitanonjrmous clinics where "for

once, they are pleeised to sim-ply be a number in the sys-

tem".

One such clinic is theHassle FYee Clinic in Toronto.

It began offering this service

in 1985. This testing systemuses a number or a code onthe lab slip and the coun-selling file is labelled "NotYour Name". This practice

ensures client confidentiality.

"Even if your test result

comes back positive, yourname can't be reported. Wealso don't ask for your Health

Card number because MOHtesting is free, so the lab can't

identify who you are, therefore

insuring anonymity." saidMary from the Hassle FreeClinic. She also explained it

is important to wait 14 weeksfrom the point of unprotected

sex or needle-sharing to the

actual test. The body requires

this time to "register" thevirus.

Joanne Ackerly, theSTD/AIDS Program Co-ordi-

nator for Toronto said to date

there have been a total of3,328 AIDS cases reported to

the Ministry of Health in

Ontario. In Ontario, about2,638 people have died ofAIDS, leaving a total of 690documented living cases in

the province currenUy.

A representative from the

Ministry of Health - whowished to remain anonjrmous-- explained that 6.064 HIVinfections (thought to be theleading cause of AIDS) were

reported by Toronto physicians

alone between 1985 and 1993.

Humber College offers con-

fidenUal AIDS tesUng in the

Health Services Department.It is performed by a phjrsician

and the college also uses the

numerical system of identifi-

cation. But it is not entirety

confidential because the cen-

tre asks for your Health Cardto perform the service.

Although, whatever theresults may be, they remaininside the centre.

"The records are private to

the individual concerned."explained Humber CollegeF*resident Robert Gordon. "Wedon't break confidence to deal

with the problem. Further wedon't want to embarraiss the

individual."

Gordon emphasized thecollege administration is neverprivy to the details of anyone's

health records unless they are

disclosed by the individual.

He added the college is

here to help people and notmake them "go under-ground".

When asked about taking

an HIV test. Michelle, a sec-

ond-year student said, "If I

thought there was a possibili-

ty I had it (HIV). I would take

a test, but I'd be afraid ofsomeone finding out"

planning

for

immigrant

womenby Blair E. Streeter

Humber's LakeshoreCareer Planning for

Immigrsuit Women course

offers newcomers to

Canada a chance to find

employment suited to

their skills.

The 12-week programgears toward newcomersto Canada who enter the

changing Job market.

The women learn howto recognize and applytheir skills to related Jobs

and £dso what education

or training is still needed.

Career Planninginstructor, KatheKleinau. said the stu-

dents gain a greatersense of self confidence.

"This (course) really

helps the women to rely

on their own strengthsand to begin to believe in

themselves again. It's

wonderful to observe this

progress in the class,"

said Kleinau.

Kleinau, who hasworked in the JobReadiness Training pro-

gram at Humber for 1

1

years said more than onethird of the women in the

course have a college or

university education firom

their own country, butmost of them have beenworking in low payingwarehouse and assembty-line Jobs since arriving in

Canada.Kleinau also said

enrolment in this course

is lower than it should bebecause funding hasbeen cut. Some womenwho may have been eligi-

ble for social funding in

the past may have to paythe $22.80 enrolment fee.

"I get many requestsfrom women who haveexhausted their unem-ployment benefits." said

Kleinau. This puts the

enrolment fee virtually

out of reach especiallywhen there is a feimily to

feed."

The instructor saidthe English level in theprogram is low."This is

their greatest barrier,"

she said.

The program tries to

help the women to adjust

to the new culturethrough lessons on cul-

tural awareness andassertiveness training.

The course has been agreat help to most of the

women who have takenit"Many of these womenfeel very alone and isolat-

ed before they come (to

the course) they not only

find security in the fact

that they're not alone in

this situation they also

find friends and tremen-

The paler shades of the 90sYear-round sun damage new concern

by BSonica JanHc

Gone are the days of "tres

bronze" at the expense of yourskin. Heightened awarenessof skin cancer leads to con-

cerns over the sun's damagingrays year-round.

To avoid the long-term andshort-term damaging effects

of unprotected exposure to

ultraviolet rays, consumerswere made aware of theimportance of using a sun-block.

"At the beginning of thesummer season, there's

always emphasis on skin pro-

tection. Unfortunatefy, people

tend to forget once fall

begins," said Nancy Pinchin, abeauty advisor for Shopper'sDrug Mart in the SheridanMall.

"EJven if it's a cloudy day, it's

important to, remember bothUVA and UVB rays will still

penetrate through and damageskin," said Pinchin. Peopleshould use sunscreen every-

day, rain or shine, firom March

Cover updamaging

Summer's over but the sun's rays are still

15 to November, she said.

UVA are deeply penetrating,

long-wave length constituents

of sunUght which cause skin

to age, tan and sometimesburn. UVB eire abundant in

sunlight; these shorter-wave

radiation rays cause sunburn,premature aging and wrin-kling.

"The average person will

burn after 20 minutes of

unprotected exposure to UVrays," said Clinique cosmeti-

cian, Bonnie Little. She point-

ed out that a simple way to

distinguish both types of

UVrays- "UVAging" and"UVBuming".

"People should protectthemselves with a sunscreenof varying Sun ProtectionFactor (SPF). depending ontheir skin t3rpe," said Little.

The SPF number, whichranges from two through 45,

indicates the amount of time aperson can stay in the sun.

"Be sure to buy a sun-screen with both UVA andUVB protection written clearty

on the bottle, don't Justassume it's in there," saidLittle. According to the

Canadian DermatologyAssociation, melanin is askin's natural defence against

damaging solar rays. People

with low melanin are fair

skinned and therefore burneasily, and require a high SPFin their sunscreen. For the

fall season, an SPF of 15 is

adequate protection.

Barbara Stewart. aLenscrafters optician, saideyes also need protection fromthe sun's damaging rays.

"Prolonged exposure to UVrays can lead to cataractsand, in extreme cases, evenblindness," said Stewart

She also said a slight tint

with ultra-violet protection is

sprayed on the prescription

lenses and will filter out the

sun's rays and protect theeyes.

According to a representa-

tive of the Cancer Information

Service, 3,100 new cases of

melanoma-type cancer werereported throughout Canadain 1992.

Easy rider - going my wayby D^nrah Walker

Humber's car-pooling sys-

tem, the ride board, is quickly

becoming extinct — replacedby a new computerized pro-gram. Easy Rider.

"The idea of the programcame about due to parkingproblems." said KarinaBekesewycz. SAC services co-

ordinator.

Students who have parking

spaces on campus, hope the

program will help reduce the

crowd of cars coming In andout of the daity parking lots.

"I park on campus andsometimes it takes a while to

actual^ get into the lots, it can

really get crowded." said

Marsha Walker, pre-health

and science student 'The pro-

gram is a good idea."

In order to take part tn the

Easy Rider program, students

are requested to pick-up aCar-popling Service card from

SAC or A+ and fill out the nec-

essary information. The datafrom the card will then betransferred into a computer for

the selection process.

"Since the beginning of the

semester we (SAC) have hadsome problems inputing the

data." said Bekesewycz."Hopefully we will have every-

thing settled and running (tlUs

week). Fortunately we haveea^r staff members working onthe program in their spare time,

it should be cleared up soon."

Bekesewycz hopes the Easy

"Car pooling to and fromschool or work, especially long

distance, could save students

a lot of bus fare." says

Lakeshore Campus to host literary readings

by Christina IfcLean

Humber College will onceagain host a number of

Canadian authors scheduledto read their work.

This year's speakersinclude Eric Wright, an awardwinning crime novelist whosework Includes The Night the

Gods Smiled and Death in the

Old Country, and SarahSheard, author of the award-winning and critically

acclaimed novel, AlmostJapcmese.

Ben Labovitch. a communi-cations teacher at theLakeshore Campus, has beenresponsible for oiganizing the

events since he started atdumber 15 years ago. Hebecame involved in order to

help his students experience

Canadian authors in person.

"It's important for youngpeople to be exposed to

Canadian authors." saidLabovitch. "Students getenough Americanization as it

is. In school they need to begetting Canadian input"

Eric Wright is scheduled to

make his second appearanceat Humber on October 20.whUe Sarah Sheard will readat Humber on February 16.

1994.

In past year's Labovitchwas able to invite four to five

speakers per academic year,

but due to cuts in fundingfrom Humber CoUege and the

Canada Council, which also

helps to fund the literary

readings, this year's budgetonly sdlows for one author per

semester.

According to the CanadaCouncil in Ottawa, the aim of

the Public ReadingsProgrames is to "foster andpromote the arts in Canadaby providing financial assis-

tance to those artists whopass on their woiic in an edu-

cational and entertaining set-

ting." The financial assis-

tance provided for Humber'sliterary readings helps to payfor the author's airfare and abonus of $200 for each read-

ing. Humber pays for theexpenses of the day. including

lunch and hotel costs.

According to Labovitch. the

Over 40 young prospectsshowed up with hopes of help-

championship in as manyyears. There are two more tiy-

outs, ending this Friday,before the cuts which will leave

only 12 players on the squad.

"From almost 50 to 12 —so

we're not looking at picking upthat many guys," says Athletic

Director Doug Fox who is help-

ing new head coach RickDilena and assistant CoachZito Baccarani select the team.

Ex-head coach Katz, joined the

Men's National Team as anassistant coach.

Former Humber basketball

stars Patrick Rhodd and

Fltzroy Ughtbody were amongthe spectators at the tryout

watching 10 players from last

year's squad trying to makethe team again.

"Sure we gave them a ring

last year," Jokes Fox. "But they

have to earn their spots all

over again."

The tryout consisted of lay

up and shooting drills followed

by a series of three-on-two-

breaks and then concluded

with five-on-five games.Coach Dilena. who steps in

Inaugural outdoor soccer tryoutsby Jaaon Carroll

The Humber Hawks men'ssoccer team isn't afraid to set

high expectations for its Hrst

season.

Outdoor soccer returned to

Humber after a lengthyabsence. More than 35 players

turned out at the Valley Soccer

Field.

After four tryouts. headcoach Germaine Sanchez cutthe field in half and narrowedthe roster to 18 to finalize this

year's team.

With 10 players returningfiiom last year's indoor team,there will be only eight rookies

in the lineup.

Sanchez expects quickresults firom his team. A top-

three finish is his goal and

Sanchez won't let his teamsfirst year status relegate themto the cellar.

"We hope to be the best veiy

soon," said Sanchez. "We are

hoping to get into the top three

in Ontario, anything less andwe won't be very happy. If youdon't have high expectations,

you won't get very far."

Sanchez led the team to athird place finish in the OCAAstandings for last season'sindoor team. He hopes to build

a balanced team, but he tends

to lean toward a more aggres-

sive game plan. Soccer doesn't

attract the crowds other varsi-

ty sports do. but Sanchezhopes his Hawks can bringmore people out to games with

a wide open game."Hopefully, we will have a

very, very attacking team. Wehope to win most games 5-4.

That way it will make it moreinteresting for the peoplebecause it can get boring in

low-scoring games." saidSanchez. "We have alwaysbeen a very disciplined teamwhich is difficult in soccer.

We'U try to get both.

"

Sanchez has banked on vet-

erans such as. AdamMorandini. Lorenzo Redwoodand Phil Caporella. to bringhim his top-three finish. Helooked to his returning players

to help form the team duringtryouts. but he makes surethat once the team takes the

field, he's in charge.

Second year player. Steve

Spizzirri. says Sanchez is aneasy-going coach but when he

spots a problem he works on it

until it's fixed.

Spizzirri shares the sameoutlook on the team's inaugur-

al season and thinks this

yeeir's team is better than last

season.

"This team is going to bebetter than last year. We havea great offence and an excel-

lent defence with Adam(Morandini) in nets." saidSanchez. "The biggest chal-

lenge of the 3rear should comefrom Seneca College .whichwas the powerhouse of theleague last season. As Humberbuilds a reputation as athreat, it should help in its

abiUty to recruit more players.

Even though this will be

number's first season out-

doors. Sanchez feels the other

schools consider the Hawks to

be a force in the leaguealready.

"It's our first year and wehaven't seen the other teamsyet but I'm sure they're wor-ried about us." said Sanchez."We don't have any superstars

but with a lot of hsirdwork anddiscipline, I think we can dowell."

As the game changes, sodoes the type of player thatSanchez looks for. Soccer is nolonger Just a finesse sport, the

game has gotten tougher, sohas the need for a strongerteam. A player with skill alone

doesn't stand much of achance making Sanchez'steam, he looks for a combina-

tion of strength and skill.

Humber tie .^ Sept 16, 1993 15

The team behind the scenesby Paul McDougall

The high calibre of sports at

Humber owes a lot to theStudent Athletic Association

(S.A.A.). which works behindthe scenes to promote aware-ness of the Hawks.The main goal of the S.A.A.

' executive, which consists of 10

students, is the promotion anddevelopment of number's var-

sity program.

"We're trying to get people to

come out to the games," said

S.A.A. president AlbinaMichele. "In the past threeyears we haven't had much of

a turnout at games so what wetiy to do is promote them."

According to Doug Fox,manager of athletics, prior to

the S.A.A being formed, it wasvery hard to promote the varsi-

ty program.

"I Just couldn't handle the

workload; I was one personworking the varsity at thetime," said Fox.

The S.A.A. does many things

to help the varsity program at

Humber, including anythingfrom planning team familynights to feeding the players

after a game.The first event is the Loonie

Sale on September 22, atwhich overstocked Humberuniforms will be sold off for aminimal costThe S.A.A. also plans a ring

ceremony night for the men'sand women's basketballteams, who both claimed tophonors in last years provincial

championships.Any money raised by the

S.A.A- over tlie year is spenton special events and an ath-

letic banquet run by the com-mittee at the end of the year.

The S.A.A. has a voice onthe Council of Student Afifairs,

which is the voting body for all

student groups. The groupmeets with the administration

to discuss issues such aswhere activity fee money will

be spent.

"Before we had that, we hadreally rio say in what our activ-

ity fees were for athletics oranything else." said Fox.

Acting as a liaison betweenthe Htimber varsity teams andthe administration, the SA.A.helps to keep the communica-tion channels open betweenthe teams and the administra-
