Teachers from Ontario's 22colleges officially went on strike

early Wednesday to protest the

lack ofa satisfactory contract offerfrom the Council of Regents(COR).Humber College's North cam-

pus teachers manned their picket

lines eariy Wednesday despite the

confusion they expressed during alast-minute meeting held Tuescbynight.

Teachers spent much of the

meeting questioning negotiation

procedures and union negotiators'

actions. Throughout the two and-

a-half-hour meeting, teachersscolded negotiators for their un-ilateral rejection of the latest con-tract offer presented by the COR.When one teacher asked Union

Local President Gary Begg whyall future contract offers made bythe COR would not be sent back to

union members, to a large roundof applause, Begg said effective

negotiations cannot be handledthat way. He told the crowd that achange ofa single word or conmrnin a contract automatically makesit a new proposal. If the unionwere tied to sending back eachnew offer which was not signific-

antly different from the previous

one, negotiations would be undulyextended.

Bill Thompson, who is attached

to several divisions, put intowords what many of the teachers

at the meeting seemed to feel

about their negotiating team.**There are hidden agendas

running around loose and we don'tknow what they are," Thompsontold Begg. "There's a lot of suspi-cion here that you can pick up, that

there are people on our side of that

negotiating committee who'd lovea strike, for whatever reason."

Business Division teacher RossRichardson said he trusted Begg,but he doesn't "trust those guys

downtown." Teachers followedhis comment with another roundof applause.

'nm)ughout most of the meet-

ing, teachers seemed resigned to

the fact that they may be headedfor a long strike, but they still hadmany questions about personal at-

titudes and picket-hne procedures.

Earl Reidy, Human Studiesteacher, told the crowd the pur-

pose of a picket line is to showvisability to the public and to em-barrass anyone ^ing to cross the

line.

Begg disagreed. He said the

picket line is "informational" andteachers are expected to be

Although the pr'otest attracted a small group, it underlined students'

tion, and students. Begg told fa-

culty membeis they should en-

courage students, support staff

and sessional teachers to cross the

line in order to allow students to

continue their studies.

comments that the strike is in-

Collegesbandtogether

• by Sotos Petrides

About 60 coUege students fromHumber, Sheridan, and Senecawalked the lawns of Queen's Parklast Monday to protest the then-impending faculty strike.

The small but vocal group wasthere in a last-ditch effort to try to

convince members of the Gov-ernment of the negative effects astrike would have on students.

With chants of "all day, all

night, we don't want a teacherstrike", students wtdked with pic-

ket signs for more than five hours.One of the protest organizers,

Sheridan snident Vernon Hiller,

circulated a press release outlining

the bask; concerns of some stu-

dents.

The release stressed studentshave enough difficulties in their

academic lives without the an-xieties a faculty strike would add.

Other concerns came from pro-testers themselves.

"Some students will be worse(than me)," said Humber studentGary Dunsmuir.

*'Not knowing when schoolstarts again is tough because wecan't niake any plans. Some stu-

dents must pass this semester to goon to field placement— they will

lose the whole year," he added.Provincial Opposition Leader

David Peterson addressed theissue to Coven.

"I believe (Education MinisterDr. Bette Stephenson) has to di-

rectiy intervene— we have a veryserious situation here." the Lib-eral MPP said.

President's news conference -

Public apathy apparent: Gordonby Sotos Petrides

Humber College President

Robert Gordon doesn't think the

public cares if college teachers goon strike.

"Do you think the general pub-

lic will be in favor of a disruptive

strike to approve teachers' work-load when they basically workaround 40 hours a week?" asked

Gordon. "I don't think they (the

public) even want to get in-

formed."Gordon made the remarks at a

press conference in his office last

Friday,*

'Realistically, from what I

know of the two sides, I am quite

worried, '

' added Gordon ." I think

the government's position is quite

firm, so if the union is waiting for

great movement, I don't think it is

going to happen."The key issue in faculty negoti-

ations is workload. Members of

Ontario Public Service EmployeesUnion (OPSEU) negotiating teamsuggested to the Council of Re-

gents (the provincial bargaining

team) that the Ministry of Educa-

tion use the formula for calculat-

ing faculty workload developed bythe Ryerson Polytechnical Insti-

tute.

If the Ryerson Formula were

used, said Gordon, it would cost

Gordon told reporters at a press conference Friday that th^ public

the college about 26 per cent moreper year in operating costs, and

Humber would have to cancel up

to 11 programs.

In the event of a strike, the only

way the school year can be sal-

vaged is if it is settled within six

weeks, said Gordon.

"Let me put it this way," he

told the confeience,*

'if the strike

lasts a week, it will be because of

the union (members). I think

they'd say they've had enough."The offer which has been

labelled as firm by Gordon, is the

offer the union refused to accept as

legitimate prior to the strike vote

in early October.

In this *new' offer, the govern-

ment will * *back off on its original

attempt to change the workhours

, '

' which will keep the status

quo and give teachers an increase

ofup to five percent, said Gordon.

Court action in rental scampostponed by teachers ' stril^e

by Chris Mills

Humber students involved in a

housing rent scam in September,

1983 may have their court appear-

ance delayed following strike ac-

tion by Humber teachers.

The students were to have tes-

tified in County Court Nov. 5

against the man brought up on 32

fraud charges in connection with

the incident.

According to a spokesperson at

22 Division, police will be asking

for a trial postponement tomor-

row. They may not be able to

reach all the students involved and

are unwilling to cross teachers'

picket lines to serve subpoenas to

the students, he said.

Of the initial 54 students in-

volved, policeexpect 32to testify.

Ernest Solent, who is out on

bail, faces charges of defrauding

students who were looking for

housing last year. After answering

a newspaper ad for rooms in the

Humber College area, students

found they were sharing houses

and townhouses with up to 11

other people.

Students are requested to con-

tact either Louise Uba at Humber,extension 4248, or Sgt. Simser at

967-2204 for more information on

trial arrangements.

$60,000 typesetter

tops ACA budgetby Don Doulqff

Journalism is one North campusprogram which will benefit from anew $60,000 typesetter to be in-

stalled at the end of November.Carl Eriksen, dean of Applied

and Creative Arts (ACA), said the

new equipment will allow adver-

tising and graphics students to

learn their trade on superiorhardware. He also said the task oftypesetting Coven will be eased.

* *The bottom line is students are

going to get better training/' said

Eriksen.

Currently, advertising andgraphics students use "one old

IBM typesetter," according to

Eriksen. Starting in January, how-ever, three classes of 20 students

each will have access to the newtypesetter. Each class will be al-

lotted two hours of instruction

time.

&iksen said the schedule will

have to be negotiated such that the

new students don't conflict with

journalism students who use die

55 periods," he said.

Also included in the package is

one new video display terminal

(VDT). Don Stevens, electronic

editing technician for Coven, said

the new VDT is a much moresophisticated model than the type

currently used in the newsroom.Financing for the machinery

will come from ACA's capital

budget of $100,000, the largest

ever. This represents a $70,000jump over last year's budget.

Stevens was ecstatic about the

new machine."It's what we've been trying to

get for years," he said.

Stevens said the new unit will

be 20 times faster than the old

ones. He lists greater speed, qual-

ity and versatility as features it will

deliver.

The new typesetter will replace

the two existing ones, which bet-

ween them have 20 years' service.

Greater choice of headline sizes,

and increased graphics capability

are merely^ two functions that the

new hardware will provide..

The new system, a Linotron

202, is made by MergenthalerLinotype, who have been called

the **Cadillac" of typesetter man-ufacturers. The increased speed of

the Linotron means Coven will betypeset much quicker.

Eriksen said package designstudents may be given access to

the new typesetter as a teachingtool next fall. By then, the division

will **sort out'* whether those stu-

dents would benefit from havingthe new course on their cur-riculum.

• It ram migrations oblige expansion

by Chris Mills

Moving programs away fromHumber's main (North) campus is

more than just a trend.

It*s a continumg process ofadaption to accommodate expan-sion in programs and increases in

student population.

Financial reality has forced the

administration to make do withless and that reality has translated

to affecting Humber College stu-

dents with regards to both teachers

and facilities.

In the past year, RecreationLeadership, Law and Security andTravel and Tourism were movedfrom the North campus to

Lakeshore displacing about 300students and 19 teachers.

**Moving programs out of the

North campus is an ongoing action

to make room to expand aroundthose programs which require a

central facility or piece ofhardware," said Tom Norton,Humber's vice-president ofacademic.

Norton said the college tries to

locate facility-associated prog-

rams, such as computer andtechnology, together to avoidduplicating millions of dollars ofequipment at another campus. Toexpand these programs in the al-

ready crowded North campus

PHOTO BY CINDY CRAWFORDother programs then have to moveout.

"Obviously what we try to do is

develop in a campus a series ofactivities which have some related

activities,*' he said.

Humber's President, RobertGordon spoke about expansion in

his address to Humber staff at the

Aug. 28 President's Breakfast.* *We are still too crowded at the

North (campus) and there's no re-

ason to build more colleges or

campuses in this province if youlook at the demographic data re-

lated to high school enrollment,"

tie said.

So how does the college decide

which students, teachers andprograms will relocate elsewhere?

"Last year we moved Travel

and Tourism to Lakeshore (cam-

pus)," said Norton.

'That's an excellent program,

but one feature about it is it*s es-

sentially a chalkboard and chalk

program,** he said, suggesting

that some programs can function

anywhere classrooms can befound.

But Norton insists the humanside is not ignored.

**There are so many different

factors involved,'* he said. "Whatmay appear, superficially, to be a

simple decision has such humancomplexities.**

"You don't move programswithout a lot of very careful

thought and investigation of al-

most any other alternative than to

move."He said that any moves are

proposed well in advance (nine to

10 months) to provide time for

meetings between the administra-

tion and the teachers, and to hold

open forums between himself andthe students. /-

"We talk to everyone," hesaid.

"During the process, if there

has been enough solid argument

against it, we don't move. It's not

an inflexible process."

But the students Coven spoke to

disagree.

Lynne Williamson, a second-

year travel and tourism studeiit,

spent two years at the North cam-pus and found the moving process

disruptive and arbitrary.

"We didn*t have any say at

all," said Waiiamson. "They told

us we were going to move, dfien it

happened. There must have beensome other course that could havemoved.'*

Williamson said that Travel andTourism uses computer terminals

in their training, but the terminals

are not yet in the Lakeshore cam-pus because of the strike by the

installers, CP Telecommunica-tions. They arc now using PETcomputers, a comparable re-

placement.

But the teachers who moved to

Lakeshore like the campus, the

larger classrooms and the quieter

environment.The Travel and Tourism Senior

Program co-ordinator, KathyMoody, says she appreciates the

better teaching facUities and the

more personal lifestyle.

"The graduating students

would be the most affected,'

' said

Moody. "And those students and

teachers who live near the North

campus who might have a trans-

portation problem.*'

Shortage

offunding

WhUe Norton admits that dis-

locating people is "very disrup-

tive," the administration believes

the school has to make the best

with what it has at its disposal.

Dean of Applied and Creative

Arts, Carl Eriksen, lost several

programs to Lakeshore campus.On a personal basis, he said, los-

ing working and friendly relation-

ships with teachers and students

"is a bit upsetting." But on aprofessional basis, he sees the

practicality of the decisions.

"I think there is a need and aresponsibility on the administra-

tion's part to group together as-

sociated programs which use the

same facilities (equipment) andwhich make joint use of faculty

members," he said.

While no program moves are

currently uiider consideration,

Norton says "that doesn't meanspace problems are not being dis-

cussed."

So what's the bottom line?

Said President Gordon: "Givenan inevitable shortage of funding

for the future, productivity gains

and ixmovative responses must befound...to accomplish more with

the same/*"...We still don't have enough

monies for renovations or newequipment and I certainly can't

promise you that we ever will.

We*Il do our very best to try to stayup to date.**

^^lateBPost-anxiety

Consider the typical Humber student's day.

It begins with a trip on aTTC or Humber bus , packed into a

crush of people. Students lucky enough to have vehicles

discovered soon into the school year that their luck ran out if

they tried to approach the college from Hwy. 27 south.

Second and third-year Humber drivers were used to cursing

and gritting their teeth while they-waited to make the turn

from the highway onto Humber College Blvd.

This year, however, they probably describe those morn-

ings as the good old days to new students — when they

waited five minutes instead of 20. The tie-ups are caused bythe usual high volume of morning traffic and aggravated byconstruction on Woodbine Place shopping mall.

If they win the battle with the traffic jam, students tiien

proceed into the parking zoo of Humber College. Althoughthere are approximately 8,000 full-time students at the North

campus, there are not nearly enough parking spaces. Even if

students do have a parking space, it is likely located in somefar distant land called the Silver Lot.

After the student (who has probably been awake for less

than 2 hours and already been subjected to enough stress to

set him on edge for the rest of the day) finally negotiates his

way into the College, he is more than ready for a cup of hot

coffee. Alas, the first class of the day starts in two minutes

and there is no time to wait in another line.

Skipping the coffee and heading straight for the stairs is noguarantee of arriving on the third or fourth floor in time. Thestairs are filled with people rushing in all directions, and the

inevitable dolts who decide to stop and have a conversation

mid-flight.

The student arrives at his class, thankful that he still has

one, because a looming strike is threatening to disrupt the

semester and postpone his graduation. He finds himself

sharing a desk or sitting on the floor because that's whathappens when 35 people are squeezed into one classroom.

Students* books— the ones they waited hours in line to buyat the bookstore — are piled on the floor. That's whathappens when therie are twice as many students as there are

lockers.

*S tress will always be a factor

in modern life^

Lunch brings a repeat trip down the stairs and an attempt to

grab somthing to eat in 5,0 minutes, before beginning the

whole process over again.

At the end of the day, traffic jams resume, bus schedules

quicken and the morning routine repeats itself, only in re-

verse. Welcome back to the parade.

The point is that from morning until night, students find

themselves in situations of heavy stress. All people are sub-

ject to and affected by stress in some form, but those whospend time in a large institution such as Humber College are

more susceptible.

Constant stress takes a^igher toll on the average person

than any virus. It can turn an otherwise healthy person into a

mental wreck and manifest itself in physical symptoms such

as shortness of breath and anxiety attacks.

Experts tell us that the most important step in dealing with

stress is recognizing it. The next is accepting it. There are

ways to reduce everyday'

' artifical'

' stress— by getting up a

half-hour earlier to beat the rush, by doing assignments

before deadlines loom— but stress will always be a factor in

modem life.

The wise student accepts that stress exists and learns to

dpal with it. Reducing stress through time management re-

lieves much of of the pressure. When situations seem to be

getting out of control, award yourself a Mental Health Day.

No-one ever got fired for taking one day off, and no-one ever

failed for skipping one day of school

.

However, escape is the last resort. Students should usetheir school years to learn how they best deal with stress.

Think of it as training for the rat race. With all of the practice

they're getting here, a Humber graduate will surely becomeHead Rat.

note:by Cindy Crawford

I stayed awake late Tuesday

evening so I could hear the news.

Sure enough, 7.600 collegeteachers were striking as of Wed-nesday morning, with workload'

being the main dispute . I had been

undecided the last few weeks il

there would be a strike or not, but,

when I went out into the college to

talk to people, it seemed I was the

only one who was undecided. Outof a couple of dozen people 1

talked to, along with day-to-day

conversation with fellow

classmates and roommates, 1

didn't once hear a definite no

when asked if they thought there

would be a strike.

Based on the number of stu-

dents who had made prior ar-

rangements for a job, or at least

flight arrangements to return

home, it was if many had had the

idea for a long time that it wouldcome down to this.

I know the teachers say whatthey are doing is for us, but it is mymoney, my education, and mytime. Tm in a fortunate position

that I can gain experience out onmy internship, which I will go to

more often now since I have more

time, but what about the other stu-

dents whose education is essential

[C|(i(!l(^yp

Gordon addresses

part-time students

To Continuing Education Stu-

dents:

The potential strike of our fa-

culty is indeed a sad event for all

members of the College Com-munity to contemplate, I espe-

cially regret the unavoidable in-

terruption this will cause in stu-

dent learning. For our full-time

students taught as they are by reg-

ularly contracted Collegeteachers, there is no option otl^r

than to plan the suspension oftheirlearning progran)i& for the duration

of the possible labor action, re-

grettable as that decision is.

For our part-time students the

issues are not that clear. SomeContinuing Education Teachers

are full-time faculty as well, andhence they cannot teach at

t^Humber College day or evening.

Their classes must be cancelled. In

some Divisions this would repre-

sent cancellation of 65 per cent ofcurrent Continuing Educationclasses, in others a smaller per-

centage.

In many cases teacheis whohave only a night-school relation-

ship with the College wouldchoose not to cross a picket line.

We would be unable to forewarn

you of this. The general issue ofpicket lines poses a variety ofproblems for many students, andthe prospect of a strike settlement

leading to classes where a propor-

tion of students might be someweeks behind others would create

a series of impossible learning

complexities. In many cases fromone evening to the next we wouldbe unable to inform you as to the

status of your class. Beyond this it

would be inappropriate for me to

speculate on possible access

problems to our Campuses.

As a result our decision is to

plan the interruption of all Con-

tinuing Education classes effec-

tive October 17, 1984. At the ces-

sation of any possible labor action

classes would recommence from

the point of interruption and be

completed when the requisite

number ofleaniing hours had been

given.

Were a labor action to happen

and were it to extend for a consid-

erable period, the College wouldreevaluate this position and con-

tact you personally (if possible) to

outline the new action plan with

regard to your course.

Once again I do regret this po-tential action, but I believe that it

is in your interest as a learner to

have maximum clarity aroundclass scheduling. I also feel that

this interruption, although awk-ward, will lead to a far more ap-propriate learning environmentthan our collective attempting to

struggle on in a rather unpredicta-

ble situation.

Your signal that this decision is

to be implemented will be the

media announcement that a strike

has been called. We will contact

you individually within the suc-

ceeding three weeks to inform youof plans regarding the cessation of

the potential interruption. In the

meantime I do hope you will bepatient with Humber as the systemof twenty-two Colleges in Ontario

works to solve its present internal

difficulty.

R. A. GordonPresident

prior to going out and working in

their field?

1 can only guess that one op-

timistic thing about the wholething is all colleges are in the same

postition, so if perhaps we do face

at! extended year or forfeited holi-

days, we are all in the same boat.

1 believe the main concern right

now for many, though, is money.If this strike- carries on for any

length of time it doesn't mean the

rent goes on hold or the bills stop

coming in. If only it were that

easy.

I'm a believer in human and

labor rights, but when it comes

down to affecting me because of

another's dispute, well frankly

I'm concerned.

It would appear, after taking the

bus to school once, that the entire

student population has forgotten

its manners . A ride on a school- or

home-bound bus is enough for

anyone to conjure up images ofEmily Post spinning in her grave.

The first joy in such a trip is

boarding the bus. Everyonepushes and shoves , trying to get onfirst — you'd swear you were in

first grade on a field trip.

Then there are the creeps whostand off to one side, waiting for

the bus to pull up so they can sub-

tly blend in with the crowd until

some kind soul allows them to

board the bus ahead of them. Eventhough these types have been

waiting a total of five minuteswhile the rest of the crowd has

been standing there for 25, they

feel they deserve to be let on first.

Then, of course, there is the

struggle for a seat.

If you can persuade the graphic

arts student to move that huge case

overjust a bit, you might be able to

claun one of the three seats behind

it. (They're nice about it, though,

especially if you express interest

in the music blaring from their

Walkmans.)There are always some students

on the bus who refuse to take onestep past the back doors. Students

at the front of the bus are practi-

cally sitting in the driver's lap.

while he is begging (ye^, begging)them to "move down". Will theymove? Not an inch. It's an un-written law of the (buarider's) road— "Thou shall not stand at theback of the bus".Which brings is to another

point. The few wl > defy the lawand cross the *bL: door line' will

stand in front of empty seats. Ofcourse you never realize it becauseyou're stuck at the front of the busready to pass out because of the

breath of the guy standing next to

you. But it is reassuring to knowyou don't HAVE to stand — if

you're willing to elbow your wayto the back and brave enough to

cross the back door line, you could

actually have a seat.

(The bus ride itself is a riot. I

think the drivers get a sadistical

thrill out of hitting the b;*akes

everytime they have a full load of

students aboard. You'll be riding

merrily along, trying to t ;cide

when to change arms on tK; bar

when, in the middle of replacing

one with the other, you're plungedinto the back of somone*s head.

He turns around and gives you a

withering look, and you mumble'your apologies while ci^-sing the

driver. You've had y( ;ye onthat guy all semester...;

If you thought getting on the buswas a feat, wait until you try to getoff.

The best thing to do is prepare ti

get off at least 12 blocks befonyour stop. The reason behind sucl

a strategy is that no one will moveespecially those who refuse t(

cross the "back door line". Noonly will they not cross '*tht

line", they won't move from ii

front of the doors either. You car

push, shove, scream and threaten

but only when their stop appeanwill they move — only to be re-

placed by another in their ranks.

To tell you the truth, I'm toe

scared to attempt such a thing. ]

'*Vm going to make you sing,

you*ll see/ said the lead singer for

Tokyo, Allen Frew, at Thursdaynight's pub. And with another

rousing rendition of SimpleMind's 'Waterfront' his determi-

nation paid off.

The audience had no excuse for

not knowing the words; it was the

second time the band played the

song that night.

When the band repeated the

song, it was an obvious exampleof the effects the real SimpleMinds has had on the contempor-

ary music scene — more SimpleMinds mania. Even Tokyo'soriginals seemed to be bred from a

'Minds* and *U2' combination.

Frew used the same line of the

song to stimulate the audience that

Simple Minds did, when they

played Massey Hall earlier this

summer.The patrons of CAPS ate it up,

and fmally Tokyo gained someground, after chatting at the audi-

ence on numerous occasionsthroughout the evening with litde

success.

Bass player Wayne Parker said

that was only one of the manyways the band tries to get the

crowd on 'their side.' **When wesay the name of another school,

the audience goes *boo,' when wesay the name of the school we'replaying at, they go 'yeah,' but

here theyjustgo 'ennh' '*, he said.

Is this areflection on the band or

the audience? Food for ttiought.

Tokyo rolled into Humber witha more than adequate sound sys-

tem, and an ace in hand— that acebeing veteran Toronto soundmanEsteban Gajardo. The band relied

heavily on echo tricks and othereffects, which were applied sldll-

fully by Gajardo over a cfcan andeven mix.By the time the third set arrived,

the dance floor remained packed,but there was a sudden surplus ofseating space. Unfortunately for

those who left eariy, this is whenthe band really started to cook,playing the Police's Message in aBotUe, Can't Stand Losing Youand Be My Girl to the delight ofhot dancers. (Which one of the

bouncers stuffed someone in the

air conditioning?)

Tokyo is looldng forward (as

always) to recording their manyoriginals in the United States.

Manager Gaiy Pring said if the

deal goes through, the album will

be ireleased in an unprecedentedtotal of 32 countries, which is

doing well for a bunch of guysftrom Thomhill.

The band members hope thestill unnamed album will be re-

leased on a big label.

As one onlooker put it, "Theydid good tunes, but not veryweU."

OCAA men's hockey faces offLast season the Seneca Braves

hockey team won the Ontario

Colleges Athletic Association

(OCAA) Tier I championship andheld an impressive, 22-1-1 record

that no team could approximate

during regular season play.

The Braves eliminated St. Qairfrom semi-final competition and

then defeated Canadore in the final

to win their second OGAA crownin three years . Seneca was also the

1983-84 Canadian Colleges Ath-

letic Association (CCAA) bronze

medalists.

The i}ig question this year is if

there is any team that will be able

to prevent Seneca from winningthe Tier I championship for the

second year in a row.

Will Humber be the team to

dethrone the mighty Braves and goon to represent Ontario in the

Canadian College championship?Where do last season's Tier I

silver medalists Canadore Pan-

thers fit into tlie scheme of things

this season?

How about the new kid on the

block, the Georgian Grizzlies, two

time champions of the Tier II divi-

sion? Will they be the suprise of

the division.

Will Centennial Colts regain

some respectability this year after

winning only one game last sea-

son?These are just a few questions

that will be answered by the end of

a 224 league game schedule ^- the

longest in OCAA history.

The participating teams this

season will be Canadore, Centen-

nial, Conestoga, Georgian,Humber, St. Qair, Seneca and

Sheridan. Each squad will battle it

out for seven months to see whowill be eligible for playoff conten-

tion. Only the top four teams will

make the playoffs and with each

team playing 28 games. it*s going

to be a tight race throughout the

season.

This year, Sheridan Bruins will

have the only rookie coach, GregSora, while Canadore 's Rod Vin-

cent will be heading into his

eleventh year at the helm of the

Panthers.

Not returning this year is the

SV.CU//?

OCAA career scoring leader Steve

Guyatt of the Seneca Braves. In

five 'seasons with the Braves,Guyatt amassed a total of76 goals

and 124 assists.

In a three way tie for second

place last year was Humber, St.

Qair and Canadore — ail with

13-10-1 records. Just behind this

trio were the Bruins with a record

of 13-11-0. With the addition of

the Grizzlies to the Tier I division,

this promises to be one of the best

years of hockey competition in

OCAA history.

CANADOREThis season Canadore coach Rod Vincent will be

looking for his one-hundredth career victory in his

eleventh year as coach of the Panthers.

Lead by the experience of captain Dave Boeta,

who has been an asset to the team for three years, the

83-84 OCAA Tier 1 silver medalists are expected to

go a long way this season.

A good portion of the team is made up of experi-

enced players returning this year.

The Panthers have three solid forward lines andhave also been getting good consistent goaltending in

exhibition play. The team will try to improve on its

goal scoring which was one of its weaknesses last

year. The rest of the league should be on the look out

for the performances of defenceman Keith Tauslemand forward Peter Lecair — a high goal scorer.

CENTENNIALIs it possible that the Centennial Colts pan do as bad

as last year?

With eight players returning, including the Colts'

leading scorer, Shawn Greer, a year of experience

should help the team regain some respectabilty in the

OCAA Tier 1 division.

Newcomer Bruce Fallis will provide some needed

scoring punch, while Steve Balas will strengthen the

defensive core. The Colts had the second worst goals

against record (162) in Tier 1. Goalie GavinRobertson is returning this season and has played well

in preseason competition. If Robertson has trouble

defending the goal the Colts can place goaltender

Doug Dunn between the pipes.

CONESTOGA< After a dissapointing sixth place finish last season,

Conestoga Condor's coach Dan Young only hopeshis squad will be a part of the playoH" picture.

The Condors will have eight players returning to

the team — Todd Sheridan, Bob O'Krafka, BrentCrossey, Doug Vettke. Glen Schefar, Tim Orleman,Dave Cassidy and Jeff Stebens. The retumig players

should provide the team with a healthy crop of ex-perienced players. This season the coaching staff hasbeen impressed with the performance of goalie DanDeJong, Scott Harris, Randy DeMone and rookiedefenceman Dan Miller.

Last season the Condors biggest weakness was its

goals against (181), therefore Conestoga will beworking on strengthening defence and' goaltending.

Young said that this season his team is strong and the

squad had a good training camp. Ife is looking for-

ward to the season ahead.

In exhibition play Humber defeated Conestoga4-3. However, the Condors put forth a solid effort

with strong goaltending and good goal scoring abil-

ity.

GEORGIANThe new kids on the block In Tier I this season are

the Georgian Grizzlies. The two-time Tier 2 champ-ions are excited about coming to Tier 1, said Geor-gian Athletic Director Jim Martin.

According to Martin, the Grizzlies have two goodgoalies and strong offensive power. Martin expects

Georgian, last years Tier 2 champions, to finish in the

top ihset this season.

In the Grizzlies first game this season, they de-

feated St. Clair Saints 9-5, to start the year on a

positive note. Martins considers the Grizzlies

strengths to be their speed while their weaknesses is

their lack of size. Many of Georgian's players are

under six feet in height.

HUMBERAccording to Athletic Director Peter Maybury,

Humberts greatest strength lies in the rejuvenation ofthe squad.

The Hawks have five veterans returning to the

lineup. Goaltending and goal scoring will be a pow-erful asset for the Hawks. The rest of the leagueshould be on the look out for the perfiomences ofDoug McEwen, Bob O'Brien, Scott Defoe and goalie

Scott Cooper. Returning players such as Dave Emer-son, JeffYoung, Jamie Bracken and Brian Thompsonare expected to lead the rest of the team.

Coach Gord Lorimer, a former Hawk between1977-80, said Humber will work more on getting the

puck out of their end.

Defence was one of the team's biggest problemslast season, according to Lorimer.Humber won the OCAA championships in 77-78

and in 80-81.

ST. CLAIRThe St. Clair Saints haven't won the OCAA Tier 1

championship since 1978-79, but hold a record eight

OCCA titles. St. Qair started on a bad note this

season, losing to Gergian Grizzlies, 9-5.

The Saints , however, have a good skating club andadequate goaltending. St. Clair will only have five

players returning from last season. The teams* three

top scorers are back with the squad including KevinJarold— third leading point-getter in the league last

year with 27 goals and 17 assists.

. SENECASeneca Braves had the most impressive record in

Tier 1 last year.

In regular season play the Braves accumulated 22Wins— an OCAA record, and in the playoffs theyhad 26 wins— another OCAA record. The size andspeed ofthe team will prove to be a definite asset. Ledby a strong defence comprised of three returningblueliners— B.J. MeloCf, Bill Taylor and Jeff Veil.Seneca should be even more powerful than a yearago.

Seventeen players in the lineup have Junior Aexperience. Last year's league scoring championPaul Catto, will not be back, however, his brotherBrian is a welcomed addition. Seneca will work onimproving their ability to finish the attack in theneutral zone, which faltered last season.Head coach Nick HarbaM^ has compiled 1 1 1 wins

and only two losses in four years as coach.

SHERIDANThe Sheridan Bruins have cleaned house this sea-

son with a whole new coaching staff. General Man-ager Steve Blundy is hoping the change will boost theBruins into the playoffs.

At the helm for the Bruins is Greg Sora. This is

Sora*s first head coaching job at the college level.

Sora has also worked widi Tom Watt (former Win-nipeg Jet coach), at the University of Toronto.Blundy is pleased with the way Sora has been runningtraining camp this season. He said that there is a lotofenthusiasm on the squad.

The Bruins have nine to 10 players returning to the

team. The defence will be strong, according to

Blundy. Returning to the lineup is second team all-

star Owen Griffths and Keith Henderson, an all-star

blue liner two years ago.

Maurice Cormel, Rick Polite and Greg Goodwinwill carry the Bruins offense. Blundy said the Bruinswill have to win 16 games if they want to make theplayoffs.
