The government "concessions" to private industry to create jobs, in spite of a poor showing up until now, is justified "to maintain jobs." he told Canadian University Press Feb. 9. The federal government currently hands out $1.245 billion a year in corporate subsidies and tax credits, but spends only $458 million in job creation programs to confront climbing unemployment, now at 9.5 per cent of the work force.. "The vast majority of those working and picking up the tab" for unemployment programs have paid "just about enough", he said. And. although he "works like a beaver" for the job creation funds that do exist, Cullen said he would be unable to re-orient subsidy money toward direct job creation. "People would complain about band-aid measures," the minister said. He was simply trying to get the biggest "bang for the buck" from government investment. Cullen would estimate summer unemployment levels for students, expected by the National Union of Students to reach at least 200,000 this July. but did say he thought his ministry was do- ing a "good job" in dealing with the situation. But he agreed the government's job program was unchanged from the previous year, when 160,000 students were without jobs at the peak period.

Here's how to Turn your- old discs into dollars!

Cullen Unable To Create More Jobs

OTTAWA (CUP) — The Canadian government must continue sub-sidizing large corporations simply to maintain existing levels of employment, according to Employment Minister Bud Cullen.

The government "concessions" to private industry to create jobs, in spite of a poor showing up until now, is justified "to maintain jobs." he told Canadian University Press Feb. 9.

The federal government currently hands out $1.245 billion a year in corporate subsidies and tax credits, but spends only $458 million in job creation programs to confront climbing unemployment, now at 9.5 per cent of the work force..

"The vast majority of those working and picking up the tab" for unemployment programs have paid "just about enough", he said. And. although he "works like a beaver" for the job creation funds that do exist, Cullen said he would be unable to re-orient subsidy money toward direct job creation.

"People would complain about band-aid measures," the minister said. He was simply trying to get the biggest "bang for the buck" from government investment.

Cullen would estimate summer unemployment levels for students, expected by the National Union of Students to reach at least 200,000 this July. but did say he thought his ministry was do-ing a "good job" in dealing with the situation. But he agreed the government's job program was unchanged from the previous year, when 160,000 students were without jobs at the peak period.

Cullen had spent the previous afternoon at Carleton University facing hostile students on the question of high unemployment. The minister later described the session as "stimulating".

Students challenged Cullen's callousness toward the crisis situa-tion, saying he had been playing with unemployment statistics and ignoring the plight of human beings.

Winter Grad A First Randy Tait

For the first time in its history, Red River Community College will be holding winter graduation ceremonies for students who have completed their courses since June 1977.

The program will begin at 7:30 p.m. on February 17 in the South Gym. About 600 students will attend to receive certificates for various courses in Applied Arts and Business, Industrial, and Adult Basic Education. Nineteen students will receive diplomas for com-pleting the two-year computer programming course.

A winter graduation is being held for "students who complete programs in the fall and winter months", according to college direc-tor Les Talbot. In the past such graduates could not attend the traditional June graduation since it takes place many months after they have left the college.

Guest speaker at the ceremony will be Doug Wallace, Director of Employment and Insurance for the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission. Giving "The Last Word" for students will be Student Association President Bruce Hamilton.

A reception for graduates and their guests will be held at the Voyageur dining room after the ceremony.

fa se ee Dear Sisters:

March 8th. is International Women's Day, a day to celebrate in-ternational solidarity with women and to express support for the continuing struggles of women around the world.

An organizing committee has been formed to arrange activities to commemorate this day. We have planned two days of events. The evening of Wednesday, March 8th there will be a rally at the legislative grounds with singing followed by an informal gathering at a nearby church hall featuring greetings by various organizations participating in the "Day". Hopefully, the Nelly McClung theatre group will be available to perform and coffee will be served.

Saturday, March 1 1. we have planned a day of "themes", where some participating organizations will be invited to make presen-tations focusing on the themes of: day care, law reform, violence against women. unemployment, underemployment, equal wages and equal work. sexual orientation and exploitation, wages for housework. economic position of housewives and international solidarity. Presentations by these groups may be in the form of films. literature. speakers. singing or whatever method of presenta-tion they wish. We'll wind up the celebration with wine and cheese, plus entertainment. Day care will be available at all events.

The central theme we are using to encompass these two days is "Women Hold Up Half the Sky". expressing the strength of women and our determination to win our struggles.

To undertake organization of these events, three committees have been formed: publicity, themes, and social arrangements. We have the plans and the committees, but we now need help to bring the plans into action. Any help you can offer will be appreciated.

The next meeting of the organizing committee will be Tuesday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m. in Room 1003, Centennial Hall, University of Winnipeg. You are invited to attend and to bring along friends or anyone interested in helping out. We hope to see you there!

I believe its reputation to be otherwise. This group left the con-ference with a feeling of frustration. as this editorial illustrates.

Another situation that plagued the conference and took away from its effectiveness was the existence of a definite pecking order among the member papers.

Small papers were paid less attention to. and on two occasions I noticed a very real discrimination against community colleges.

At times during the conference I considered recommending that this paper withdraw from CUP. But I now feel that would be a mistake.'

This paper needs a news service. I only hope the service improves.

Campbell At the conference. efforts were

made to establish certain priorities as to what issues would dominate most of the CUP news packages.

I believe the intentions of CUP in doing so are quite honorable but they seem to he missing one point.

That point is that as soon as a news service. any news service, tries to establish priorities in coverage. it is limiting its scope and thereby sacrificing its objectivity and credibility.

Members of the first group. I might add, tended to aspire more towards changing the world over-night. rather than attaining good journalistic standards.

They also exaggerated the difference between the student press and the commercial press. Commercial press was a dirty word to them. They fail to realize there are standards that apply to both. The primary difference between them is the point of view and the degree of coverage of par-ticular issues.

western regional conference of the Canadian University Press (CUP) could be grouped into three separate factions as to ,their con-cepts of and attitudes toward CUP.

The largest and most firmly en-trenched group seems to believe CUP's purpose is to decide on a particular platform for social reform and then encourage and organize member papers to support this platform. In other words they are asking the papers to work for them. whereas they are supposed to he working for the papers.

This group seems to identify CUP as a lobby for social reform. It is the member papers. written in the students' point of v iew. that form this lobby. not CUP itself.

If CUP would concentrate on in- creasing its efficiency as a news service. an unbiased and objective news service. it would strengthen individual member papers and thereby strengthen the student press as a whole

Questions have been raised as to why Some rooms in the school are so cold. An explanation of how the heating system works offers a few a ns we rs.

The heating units at-the hack of each room provide a continuous stream of air which blows up over steam pipes to warm it and heat the room.

At the onset of the energy crisis the government demanded all ther-mostats he set at 70°F. Body heat generated by a roomful of people raises the temperature above 70°F and the thermostat cuts off the water flow through the pipes. When the temperature drops. the

None Of Your Business, but •

by Dave Haynes

I'm more than happy to write this. my second column. The fact that Herb has a gun aimed at me, has had no bearing on my decision to continue with the column.

I want to talk hockey. Ever since I moved here I've been hearing about this silly arena hassle. What is the problem?

I could have had everything fixed up months ago if someone would have asked me. The solution is so simple I'm afraid I'll embarrass a few politicians.

Bring back old-time hockey! Put up boards and flood the stadium. There's 25 thousand scats sitting empty all winter. It might cost the city $100 at most.

Those pros are getting paid a fortune to skate around in heated arenas. Shove 'em outside and see how they move. A little frostbite will separate the men from the boys.

Do you realize there are some professionals who have never played on real ice? Many were born in first aid rooms right in the arenas. A lot of mothers have gone through hell in the delivery room when their sons were born with a pair of Tacks on.

The Jets shouldn't be worrying about losing Ulf or Anders. Let them go, I say... for that kind of money the club could pick up some real hockey players that know how to stickhandle through snowdrifts.

Why not grab Johnny Bower .or the Gumper Worsley. They can't be doing much these days. What about Billy Mosienko? He's just passing time spraying foot deodorant into bowling shoes. There's dozens of real hockey players sitting around sucking back pints at their neighbourhood pub. They'd probably play just for beer money and a few free sticks.

Another way the Jets could cut costs would be to play with one puck. If a guy shoots it over the boards, he should have to climb the snowbanks and find it. If he can't find it, his team loses.

The Jets could have plenty of community participation. Get fans involved by having them come out, meet their favorites, then help shovel and flood the ice.

Keeping the fans warm could pose a problem but, of course, there's a simple solution. Jack McKeag used to be Lieutenant-Governor. He should be able to swing a Liquor Commission at the stadium.

As for what to do with the present arena... no problem. Rent it out to Terry Balkan.

In reference to the lovers/ letter from the irate reader, I'm sure if she was 6'2" she would still be deeply offended by the song "Short People". If it's of any consolation, my next column will be on "How to pick up guys."

Dear Catherine. Have you lost yourself in the

traditional womens' libbers' moder-nistically boring state of mind?

Thoroughly insulted. are you? Perhaps your mind hasn't matured along with your body. You are young now. Catherine. and so are the majority of those leering males that appreciate an attractive derriere.

Although these men may not be describing your physical attributes in terms acceptable to you. I think you are overlooking one very im-portant point. You are not the only female specimen that has walked the tower-lounge gong-show judges' gangplank.

The horrible. degrading, and humiliating experiences you related to Projector readers. is. in my eyes, indicative of a peculiarly self-righteous and conceited mannerism.

Would you prefer male in-difference? No. I'm sure what you want is respect. You want to strut down the modernistically boring corridors of Red River Community College and have men admire you Term 5.

The Gallery is now selling tickets at $100 each and will sell only 1.500 tickets for a chance to win the Grand Prize of $15.000 or one of 65 other cash prizes.

Mr. Scholl said the price of the ticket is not expected to be a deterrent. "There are people who can afford it and at the attractive odds we're offering. it is probable that many people will syndicate by getting ten friends or associates to chip in at $10 apiece."

People who are working in the student press and aspire to make journalism their career. should keep in mind that it is to their ad-vantage to develop a style that is acceptable to the commercial stan-dards. This doesn't mean the stu-dent point of view need be sacrific-ed.

The second group I perceived, in which I include myself. was still idealistic and interested in impro-ving social situations. but their idealism was tempered with realism. A realism that pointed out the fact that in order for the stu-dent press to he an effective lobby at. all. it must first achieve a reputa-tion as an objective and credible forum for comment.

I believe its reputation to be otherwise. This group left the con-ference with a feeling of frustration. as this editorial illustrates.

The third group consisted of people who were attending the con-ference with the idea that it was a social function. They displayed a detirtite lack of respect for. and in-

.terest in the proceedings. The conference could have

achieved much more in a shorter time had these people - stayed at home. •

Another situation that plagued the conference and took away from its effectiveness was the existence of a definite pecking order among the member papers.

Small papers were paid less attention to. and on two occasions I noticed a very real discrimination against community colleges.

At times during the conference I considered recommending that this paper withdraw from CUP. But I now feel that would be a mistake.'

This paper needs a news service. I only hope the service improves.

Campbell At the conference, .efforts were

made to establish certain priorities as to what issues would dominate most of the CUP news packages.

I believe the intentions of CUP in doing so are quite honorable but they seem to he missing one point.

That point i s that as soon as a news service. any news service. tries to establish priorities in coverage. it is limiting its scope and thereby sacrificing its objectivity and credibility.

Members of the first group. I might add, tended to aspire more towards changing the world over-night. rather than attaining good journalistic standards.

They also exaggerated the difference between the student press and the commercial press. Commercial press was a dirty word to them. They fail to realize there are standards that apply to both. The primary difference between them is the point of view and the degree of coverage of par-ticular issues.

This group seems to identify CUP as a lobby for social reform. It is the member papers. written in the students' point of view. that form this lobby. not CUP itself.

Questions have been raised as to why Some rooms in the school are so cold. An explanation of how the heating system works offers a few answers.

The heating units at-the back of each room provide a continuous stream of air which blows up over steam pipes to warm it and heat the room.

At the onset of the energy crisis the government demanded all ther-mostats he set at 70°F. Body heat generated by a roomful of people raises the temperature above 70°F and the thermostat cuts off the water flow through the pipes. When the temperature drops. the

.water flow should resume. If, however. the room is con-

I'm more than happy to write this. my second column. The fact that Herb has a gun aimed at me, has had no bearing on my decision to continue with the column.

1 want to talk hockey. Ever since I moved here I've been hearing about this silly arena hassle. What is the problem?

I could have had everything fixed up months ago if someone would have asked me. The solution is so simple Fm afraid I'll embarrass a few politicians.

Bring back old-time hockey! Put up boards and flood the stadium. There's 25 thousand seats sitting empty all winter. It might cost the city $100 at most.

Those pros are getting paid a fortune to skate around in heated arenas. Shove 'em outside and see how they move. A little frostbite will separate the men from the boys.

Do you realize there are some professionals who have never played on real ice? Many were born in first aid rooms right in the arenas. A lot of mothers have gone through hell in the delivery room when their sons were born with a pair of Tacks on.

The Jets shouldn't be worrying about losing Ulf or Anders. Let them go. I say... for that kind of money the club could pick up some real hockey players that know how to stickhandle through snowdrifts.

Why not grab Johnny Bower .or the Gumper Worsley. They can't be doing much these days. What about Billy Mosienko? He's just passing time spraying foot deodorant into bowling shoes. There's dozens of real hockey players sitting around sucking back pints at their neighbourhood pub. They'd probably play just for beer money and a few - free sticks.

Another way the Jets could cut costs would be to play with one puck. If a guy shoots it over the boards, he should have to climb the snowbanks and find it. If he can't find it, his team loses.

The Jets could have plenty of community participation. Get fans involved by having them come out, meet their favorites, then help shovel and flood the ice.

Keeping the fans warm could pose a problem but, of course, there's a simple solution. Jack McKeag used to be Lieutenant-Governor. He should be able to swing a Liquor Commission at the stadium.

As for what to . do with the present arena... no problem. Rent it out to Terry Balkan.

Mr. Scholl said the price of the ticket is not expected to be a deterrent. "There are people who can afford it and at the attractive odds we're offering. it is probable that many people will syndicate by getting ten friends or associates to chip in at $10 apiece."

* • • There is an art to watering plants, unless you are fortunate

enough to have two green thumbs and need not abide by any rules. Plants can be watered in two ways, from the bottom or from the top.

When watering from the bottom, place plants in the bathtub with the water level touching the center of the pots. When the soil feels moist on the surface. remove the plant immediately, let it drain and return it to its usual or new location. Check the soil frequently while the plant is absorbing water; the maximum watering time is 15 to 20 minutes. African violets, azaleas, camelias, ferns, philodendrons and rubber plants prefer bottom watering. Also any plant with soil level with the pot's rim or any root-bound plant should be watered from the bottom.

For top watering. it. is wise to invest in a long spouted watering can which will help to keep lower leaves dry. Give each plant a good soaking until water starts seeping through the drainage holes.

Then empty the saucer of any excess water. If there are no watering holes. the best you can do is experiment to find the quantity of water your plant responds most favourably to.

When to water is mostly based on common sense. It's probably time to water when the soil surface is dry to touch. You'll know watering time is over-due for most plants when the leaves start to wilt and sag.

ing that the US would lose the technology race. universities in the early 1970s found the competition for scarce dollars was getting tougher. At the state level new priorities have emerged — more money on mass transit systems. on prison reform. on welfare payments in a recession. The State universities had long been con-sumed by a controversy over tui-

graduate bankruptcies jumping from 760 in 1968 to a record 8,461 last year.

The great boom -in college education in the 60s followed by the recession of the 70s has meant that the generation of college students who will graduate in the next few years will have a tough time getting the kind of jobs they want. The Federal Government's Bureau of Labour Statistics reported that in the period up to 1985 there will he 950.000 more college graduates than jobs which have traditionally required a college degree.

The collapse of student activism does not mean that students have gone back to the values of the 50s. In a recently circulated paper. one of the leading researchers into American student dissent. Professor Charles Derber of Brandeis University concludes that the recession's effect has been "to inhibit action rather than to change values and political views." Dissi-dent values have persisted with considerable strength but students are now "conflicted".

Elation. the average grant for students has not. State universities are pushing again for a system of Nigger public subsidies and lower tuition costs. to try to equalize access to higher education between the rich and the poor. Some 60 per cent of American students pay their own way through college. mainly thanks to their parents but also by means of their own ear-

nings from vacation or other work. The rest get a variety of grants

and loans. According to Dr Stampen. the prirriary form of aid is still the grant. although about threequarters of aided students also get loans. Only the brightest students at a few private univer-sities can get a scholarship cover-ing all their costs. At State univer-sities a student even from a very poor family cannot expect to have more than 75 per cent of his or her costs covered.

The loan programme expanded dramatically in the 1960s but has had only mixed success. There are three basic systems. One is known as the National Defence Student Loan. This is a revolving fund operated by the universities, but financed 90 per cent by the Federal Government.

Then there is a network of loan agencies funded by the State un-iversities themselves. Finally there is a scheme in which the Federal Government fully guarantees loans offered by commercial banks to students. All three schemes have had massive defaults. with

If you do not work in building C you can consider yourself very for-tunate because the building's chronic structural illness has now shifted from the exterior to the in-terior.

The structural weakness problem will he remedied by put-ting eight support beams in per floor. Unfortunately it will take three weeks for each floor and the people normally working there will have to he relocrited for that time. Among other things. this will create a dillictdty with large files and telephones.

At a meeting early this month with people located in building C. Structural Engineers. Fred Kent and John Males. proposed the two month job he done during July and August. Kent hopes meetings such as this will help work out a format that is compatible for all involved.

A suggestion was made by Mar-vin Blauer. Associate Deputy Minister of Education. to do the work after four o'clock. This would allot% people to remain on the floor while the work is being done. he said. It would also eliminate the noise factor of drilling. This was accepted as a feasible alternative by the engineer.

The work to be done on the mall-level of building C will take two months to complete. This means the Credit Union and Crazy Ox will also be relocated for three weeks. Since both remain open during the summer months. finding an adequate location for them to work Out of is a major concern.

For people working in areas like registration. summer is a hectic period so inconvenience to them will be great. These problems will be taken into consideration when planning the work. Malus said.

What are the chances of you saving another human's life? About one in a million you say.

Not at all. You can be a life saver. not once either but every three months.

It doesn't require an act of bravery. It doesn't take much time. There is no danger and little. if any inconvenience.

So what is involved?

-Many solutions have been suggested and some modest changes have begun. For instance, the Government is making efforts to restrict the building of any more universities in big cities, and imposed tight limits on student enrolment at private universities, which enrol students beyond their capacity whenever they can get away with it. Encouragement — though no subsidies as yet — is being given to vocational training schools, which teach students a skill for a job after graduation.

These establishments, which train barbers, confectioners, engineers, nurses and others may lack glamour, but in a tight employment market they are finding increasing favour.

Enrolment in 600 such specialist schools increased by 50 per cent this year over last, and while only accounting for one-twentieth of the intake of higher education institutions they may be expected to grow rapidly if current unemployment trends continue.

Former Education Minister Mr Michio Nagai, writing in the Asahi Shimbun, recently suggests that with the end of an age in which the white collar market expanded every year, employers are becoming a lot more fussy. "Faith in the diploma...is becoming a thing of the past in advanced industrial nations."

Whereas in the late 1960s, the peak years of Japan's economic growth, 80 per cent of university graduates sailed out of class and straight through the portals of a company that had hired them months before, only 70 per cent of the latest batch of university leavers were in the same happy posi- tion.

Value Of "Diploma Disease"

Simply put. it begins with caring and ends with sharing. Caring enough to become a voluntary blood donor at a Red Cross Blood clinic. Sharing because human blood cannot be manufactured. It must come from people like you.

Being a life saver is not time con-suming. The actual giving takes just four or five minutes with another 20 minutes or so for rest and refreshments.

The Red Cross is in desperate need of blood because the demand for blood is constantly increasing. The population is growing. Ad-vanced surgical techniques such as open heart operations and organ transplants place a strain on blood supply.

Blood that is collected is not for the Red Cross. but for you. or a member of your family. a close friend. your next door neighbour or a person at the other end of town.

Every six minutes someone is receiving a transfusion in Manitoba, and every 36 hours open heart surgery is performed.

A blood donor card is provided to every donor. giving his or her blood type and Rh factor (positive or negative) and listing any antibodies they may have, so that in case of sickness or accident, this valuable information is immediate-ly available.

Presently only 51/2 per cent of the eligible donors in Manitoba provide for the program. while 941/2 per cent sit back saying to themselves "Let someone else do it."

A clinic will be held in Red River Community College on Wednes-day. Feb. 22 and Thursday, Feb. 23 at the South Gym between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Last year there were 562 donors; 403 of these people were new donors. This year the Red Cross's goal is 600.

Donors must he 18 years of age or over but 17 year old males can qualify with written consent of their parents. Cards for 17 year old males are available at. the Student Association office.

The devaluation of the university diploma is shown in a survey by the Labour Ministry which found that almost one-third of young male employees in big business firms were university graduates (compared to about 10 per cent of older employees born before the war. As a result, the survey shows, there are nowhere near enough managerial positions to go around, leading inevitably to fiercer competition for the available posts and frustration.

Furthermore, the wage difference between university graduates and, high school graduates was minimal among younger employees — on average about 2.50 pounds a week.

These statistics must give pause to young people about to embark on four years of conveyor belt education, that is unlikely to promote either creative ability or a questioning mind, where often 500 or more students (even at Tokyo University) are packed into auditoriums and most professors have to moonlight to make ends meet.

Employers are increasingly critical of the "leisure universities" which dispense. they say, unsatisfactory knowledge and no character forma- tion. A survey this year showed Japanese enterprises looking for employees who display "responsibility" and "readiness to cooperate", rather than scholastic achievements. But it is unmistakable that Japanese firms and Government Ministries still scramble for graduates from Tokyo and one or two top universities like Kyoto and Keio. For all the talk about reform, and the slings and arrows of recession and unemployment basic attitudes in this goal-orientated society are not about to change.

THE average age of America's colossal army of ten million college students has slowly been going up. As the campuses opened this autumn (a month earlier than most of their British counterparts) freshmen were older and almost certainly more highly 'motivated than their predecessors of the last ten years.

It is a notable sea change in American student life. caused by several factors. In increasing number older people are following the American immigrants' dream of putting a- child through college as the best step up in a society dedicated to individualism and meritocracy. More married women and so-called "mature students" are going to university. By 1974 ten per cent of American students were over 30.

The economic recession has put a premium on marketable skills. Swollen by a broad contingent of Vietnam war veterans and by thousands of school-leavers who started work and then decided. two. three or four years later. that they needed a college degree. the number of students in their mid-20's has also gone up sharply in the last five years.

One of the remarkable features of higher education in the US is the range and diversity of the colleges. In a market economy. if the con-sumer wants something badly enough. a supplier will always come forward. There is no national standard for accrediting colleges here. and you can start up your own college and award BA's and Ph.Ds from your living-room if you can find enough gullible customers. For every prestige private university like Yale or Har-vard. with its tight academic entry requirements there is a score of smaller private colleges with minimal requirements.

More importantly. the publicly-funded colleges and uni-versities — to which 80 per cent of American students go — have traditionally had a policy of open admissions. In the last decade and a half. to extend a similar oppor-tunity to people who want a shorter degree course. there has been an enormous mushrooming of two-year publicly-funded community colleges — again with open ad-missions. Between 1960- and 1976, (or example. the number of un-dergraduates in four-year in-stitutions doubled from 2.775.000 to 5.848,000. In the same period the number in two-year colleges went up by a factor of five from 450.000 to 2,600.000.

The ticket of admission is not academic attainment. Quite simply, it is money. The recession has affected middle and lower-income groups hard. and many parents are

- finding a college education is no longer affordable. at least not for all their children. Hence the drop in the number of 18 and 19-year-old freshmen. According to Jacob Stampen. senior research associate at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the average cost of attending a state university (including tuition. room and board) is between 1.580 lbs. and 1.680 lbs. a year. The median family income is 7.280 lbs.

The problem is compounded by what the demographers call "sibl-ing overlap". Before the war the family norm was two children spaced over four years. With the post-war baby boom American parents on average tended to have three children at two-year intervals.

At the end of September, about 3,000 students gathered at Meiji University's campus in Tokyo for a pep talk from a job placement, official. Then they sang the university song in a ceremony "to congratulate students before leaving for their battlefields."

There were similar scenes at other universities on the eve of the official open season for job-hunting. About a quarter of a million students, who graduate next spring, began meeting personnel managers on the same day under a scheme worked out between education officials and industry three years ago. It aims to reduce the stress incurred and the time spent by students in search of jobs.

Under the voluntary system, which has proved fairly successful, despite some students and firms jumping the deadline, less time is wasted on the battlefield, but the fighting is no less fierce. The competition is fiercer this year. According to a Labour Ministry survey, only 57 per cent of major firms plan to employ new graduates next spring compared with 83 per cent last year.

Fewer graduates will be able to find the openings they would like, because of the stagnant economy. The question is bound to arise with new acuteness: are so many arts and economics graduates really necessary, when Japan. like Western industrial countries, is experiencing a growing shortage of labour with scientific and technical skills?

One in three Japanese of school-leaving age goes on for a degree —almost half a million students. Overcrowded lectures, indifferent teaching, courses with no practical applications, are suffered willingly for the dubious the of a degree from an obscure lunchbox college.

Until the end of the Second World War there were only 47 universities in Japan. but democracy made higher education readily available, requir-ing money. and only modest intelligence. That is, unless you were aiming for the apex of the education system, Tokyo University, or just a little bit lower down the pyramid for the other state universities, such as Kyoto.

To qualify for Tokyo University, which has always provided the central pillars of the Japanese establishment, intellectual ability, physical and mental stamina are required, as is a photographic memory to withstand a gruelling three-day examination. Apart from half a dozen national univer-sities, and three or four private universities in Tokyo, prestige is about the last thing endowed by Japan's 933 establishments of higher learning.

In Japan you spend four years, and a lot of money (private university fees are exorbitant, and Government scholarships all have to be repaid) in acquiring a passport for a job; what decides the kind of job you get is where the passport was issued, not what you learnt.

Another frequently heard derogatory expression is "leisure univer-sities," applied to the best and to the worst — many students really stop working once they have gained access. From Tokyo University you have a choice of career in a major business firm, the impressive Finance Ministry, or anywhere that fancy takes you.

Not surprisingly, one finds that a reaction has set in against a grimly competitive and wasteful system of education. Increasingly Japanese are questioning the value of "diploma disease." There is increasing criticism among parents and teachers, echoed by the press, of the fierce competi-tion for better universities that spawned thousands of cramming schools which are supposed to help children pass examinations.

This after-hours private teaching, critics say, is bad for the health and development of the country's children. The debate about a system that favour the very bright child who can make it to one of the two or three top national universities schools, and the child with parents wealthy enough to pay the heavy private fees, has gone on for long enough for educational reform to become fossilised into a slogan of all the political parties, in-cluding the ruling liberal democratic party.

Today's Lesson — How to tactfully end a dinner party

I'm sure that we've all had those occasions when a formal dinner party has lasted slightly longer than planned. Following are a few helpful hints for subtly speeding the exit of unwanted guests.

I. Casually throw a pie in someone's face, preferably a woman who spent $30 at the beau- ty parlour that afternoon. Coconut Creme works best. but Lemon Meringue will do in a pinch.

2. Discuss the exorbitant price charged by the exterminators to remove the rats and cockroaches from your kitchen and bathroom.

3. Tell the guests all about your recent hemorrhoid operation.

4. Blow your nose. but don't use a kleenex.

5. Thirty minutes before the guests arrive. eat as many beans as you can, and wash them down with beer. Hold off until after dinner, then fart your troubles away.

6.Set the lotitiest guest on tire. 7.Seal off the bathroom. If you follow these valuablelips,

Mushroom. isn't too happy about it. There's some ques- tion as to who really owns the rights to several of the songs on the alhum....Alice Cooper has reportedly quit drinking heavily, and is working on a new LP. which he says is better than anything he's done in a long time...The Sex Pistols seem to have made a per-manent break. and the Keith Richards (Rolling Stones) trial in Toronto for possession is coming up soon....The new Queen single.

Another thing I don't like about Williams' plays arc his strange use of symbolism. During the play. two of Maxine servants catch an Iguana and tie it up under the veranda (hence the title) and the same servants tie up Shannon when he goes crazy.

There are also four Nazi tourists who virtually goose-step across the stage. making fun at the rest of the

It is as the play progresses that my dislike for Williams emerges. Each of his characters is deprived of something which they desperate-ly , need. Shannon is deprived of the ability to support himself and Hannah is likewise deprived emotional attachment to anyone. They shout out their protests against the world. lashing out

"Iguana" is about the troubles a tour-guide has when he brings a Party to a broken-down hotel dur-ing the off-season so that he can recover from a nervous break-down. (Which should just about tell you how his party of "ladies" treat him.)

The tour-guide. "Reverend" T. Lawrence Shannon (a defrocked clergyman with a passion for young girls) has to fight to keep his job. his sanity. and his pride. You may he sad to hear that he loses on all three counts in the end.

The hotel is run by Maxine Faulk (Patricia Hamilton) a possessive recent widow who sets her sights on Shannon (John McEnery). She has known him for quite a while and knows how to make him do what she wants him

"We can be heroes, just for one day." It urges everyone to live their lives. and quit giving up. whether that means giving up a mindless, drugged existence or a nine-to-five job.

"Joe the Lion" tells the tale of a man whose existence seems to cen-tre - on getting drunk at the bar. and then slithering down "the greasy pipe" on Monday hack to work, and hungover. ("So far so good, no one saw you") Again Bowie is at-tacking the contented, but useless cycle. so many people revolve around.

The album does take some get-ting used to. It isn't the Bowie of old. but it isn't necessarily a thing to mourn over. This new Bowie has the potential to he even more human. and more real, than ever before.

the problems. (after ten years he still gets lost). and said the building designer "should have been put in cement and poured into the sup-port structure."

Don't hold your breath though. A freeze on budgets has put that study a ways into the future.

Eaton's Fine Arts An image is created with metal enamel in powder or liquid form using a brush. wire mesh. or the hands. Then the copper is rehaked.

The enamel works something like ceramic glaze: creating a brilliant image when fired.

"The timing must he perfect. Sonic colours burn faster than others. - Farkavec said. "if you're not tarefut. the design can be ruined." He said he can control it almost 100 per cent now.

Most important. these paintings will last forever. "I believe artists have two lives: one on earth and one after they die." Farkavec said. "They have a responsibility to create something lasting." he said.

Farkavec recently built a new kiln which is large enough to produce metal enamel paintings up to 41 - x 28". One about this size was on display. Its cost: 57.000.

Farkavec is now negotiating a contract to paint 32 enamel on metal for a modern Chicago church.

Telly's Brother George sandstone sculptures. The artist's concept of the cycle of life was "The Madonna of Lake Win-nipeg". a figure representing the earth contained in a sealed jar of water. The continuing cycle of life is represented by the evaporating and condensing water.

Farkavec's cartoons, also in the showing. were among his first artworks. , Horses and chickens. his two favourite animals. are caricatured in these.

And. there'sigood news for those who want to start their own art collection. but lack the funds. On sale are some small originals at reasonable prices.

Farkavec. a writer. painter and sculptor. was horn in the 1Vestern Ukraine. He emigrated to Canada 15 years ago and since then has filled his spare time with art.

Last year. he won a place in the Guiness Book of World Records for the %vorld's smallest painting. To him. it's a challenge. You have to have courage. he said. "I sell ideas. not paintings: some people don't understand that."

Farkavec is presently working on his master's in Slavic Studies at the University of Manitoba.

The David Bowie of "Space Od-dity" is definitely gone--floating endlessly in space. no doubt. The changes made in Bowie and his music can no longer be passed off as a mere phase the glitter genius is going through.

Bowie has straightened out. As he put it in a recent Rolling Stone

. article, a friend got through to him by telling him he wasn't worth the effort of caring about. He was vir-tually wasting himself.

The message apparently struck a harsh blow. The British rock star exiled himself to Germany and teamed up with a reclusive but fine musician, known on the latest album only by his last name Eno. to produce "Low". which was generally panned by shocked critics. Surely. they said. David was just going through a phase. a variation of the disco phase.

They were obviously wrong. The atmosphere in Germany — where rock stars are treated more like normal humans. and less attention is paid to childish behaviour and glitter-trips — seems to agree with Bowie.

His latest album. "Heroes." is a blend of new sounds. strange vocals, and even . stranger in-strumentals. The second side is

As typical as it may sound, Savalas had no easy break into show business. "I am a 25-year over night sensation. I've held a spear for more years than I care to remember." he said, "You've got to learn to live with rejection". And rejection he had. Savalas listed menial jobs ranging from bus boy to his shoe shining days. "Now Kojak is the vehicle. I thank God for it, but if the bubble bursts tomorrow. I'll go back to work", he said.

"A lot of fun". was Savalas's answer to what takes place off camera while on location in New York? Even though Telly Savalas yells and screams at his brother on camera. George says that it stops there after the word "cut". Savalas said if the "Kojak syndrome" was to persist on the part of Telly's character after the word "cut", he would jokingly threaten Telly with his pointed shoes, "and take care of things". But in all reality. Telly and

Between music and dancing. he explains lyrics and tells of life experiences involving individual songs. Because it was opening night and the Cabaret wad about one-quarter empty. Savalas was light-hearted and said. "This is going to be a nice little intimate party." He kept everyone applauding and laughing, and a party it became.

Savalas does not do professional night club acts in Greece. "It's too emotional for me." he said describ-ing the feelings•of awe mixed with Greek ancient history and famous philosophers.

But compromise in size hasn't compromised the quality. Some are textured with a pallet knife to create a three-dimensional effect. Human figures are always present. because. as Farkavec said: "they make the pictures come to life. -

Enamel on metal paintings were a major part of the display. Farkavec has been working in this medium since 1974. An exacting process. it takes years to perfect.

George Savalas do respect each other. "Telly and I, well, we're brothers. All that sibling business was done when we were little kids. We're brothers-we're friends. My mother's in California and Telly's there too. Our families get together and we have a lot of fun", he said.

Violence on television is a topic that stirs up two major emotions within Savalas. Anger and hope. He feels glorification of crime is terribly wrong and that Kojak "reveals the machinery awaiting any perpetrators." "I feel that if Kojak is doing the one thing that would help to restore respect to the man who exposes himself to max-imum danger for minimum money, then the show is doing a good job," he said.

For all the readers who always wanted to know what Telly Savalas is like off camera, George Savalas summed it up by saying, "He's a pussycat. He's the kind of a guy that would never be struck with the Hollywood syndrome... That Hollywood star nonsense. it's im-possible."

George Savalas himself is not star-struck. Although American born; Savalas is Greek by his love for Greece.

Filmed near Collingwood. On-tario and in England. the scenes are full of color and suspense. The movie was directed by Gerry O'Hara. co-produced by John Quested and Chris Harrop with screenplay by Anne Mather and Jill Hyem.

Too simple a storyline and just too good to be true? Perhaps **Leopard in the Snow" does seem a bit idyllic but it's a welcome break from the old love'em and leave'em nostalgia films.

Moments forever lasting, following in pursuit of a dream. Leading to unknown darkness, seeking a new card to the game. Time has been no burden, we have made it through the years, but yet it still reminds us, of the coining of new fears. Thoughts trill only linger in minds that never dull, and words unforgotten, have a future to fond!. A sun begins to shine, the road is clearly seen. A destination is awaiting the time is now it seems. Yet no time is given, to easen up our load. For we have only taken one step down the road.

"Coma": The Perfect Crime

By Glen Dawkim Have you ever considered the perfect crime? A crime so fool-

proof that you might never be caught. The movie "Coma" takes on that possibility.

No, it is not another movie about political corruption or Watergate. "Coma" is a movie about a big city hospital (Boston Memorial) and a conspiracy which takes place in that hospital.

The conspiracy is unravelled by Dr. Susan Wheeler (Genevieve Bujold) after one of her close friends goes into a coma during a routine therapeutic abortion. She is not satisfied that something did not go wrong. and she starts to dig into the matter.

He? search leads her to an institute, sponsored by the govern-ment. in which coma patients are suspended by wires and their bodily functions are controlled by computer while their human organs are secretly being auctioned off. But you are always left wonder. "Who is pulling the strings" (I could not avoid the pun).

Her actions do not go un-noticed and she is soon pursued by a deranged killer. hired by the conspirators to do away with her. This pursuit makes for great suspense. This is added to the fact that neither Wheeler nor the audience know who are the good guys and who are the bad. A line from the movie aptly describes this, "there is no more black or white. just grey."

The movie makes a strong statement on the question, with whom does the responsibility on such issues as life, death, abortion and the like lie." The 'movie shows what could happen if the decision is simply left up to the doctors; what happens when society rejects the responsibility for these "life and death" decisions. For this reason I think the film should be seen by everyone. But I must warn you. if you are squemish or scared of the sight of blood, this movie examines all aspects of hospital including a visit to the morgue's freezer and an autopsy.

The Medea (Mat•-day-ah) Gallery is currently displaying some fine textural landscapes. Kay McCullough. a Thunder Bay artist is exhibiting a series of 50 Cana-dian scenes richly done in acrylic. She is a generous artist who has an affinity for nature particularly winter and fall. Despite a slight problem with depth perception. her paintings have a pleasing three-dimensional quality: pine boughs are snow-laden and daffodils bloom from the canvas. -‘

Ms. McCullough has always had an interest in the world of art. Presently, she is teaching high school and university courses as well as devoting time to her family and artistic career.

The Medea Gallery on Osborne Street is operated by a Winnipeg

group of female artists. It was open-ed on September 23. 1976 and has achieved a quiet success.

The display runs from February 7th to February 28th, 1978.

A kiss is still a kiss? Let's hope so. but what would you say if someone told you romance is still. good. old-fashioned romance? Chances are you may have some doubts about that idea! Well. doubt no more. for romance is alive and well and living in a new film, "Leopard in the Snow."

The movie is a first for Harle-quin Enterprises Ltd.. a Canadian paperback company and leading North American publisher of romantic fiction and premiered Feb. 3 at the Hyland. Kings and Park theatres.

If you have ever dreamt of fall-ing in love. your dream will probably be re-lived in "Leopard in the Snow."

Don't expect a soapy tear-jerker, though! The title has undertones of intrigue. mystery and passion and if the strange coincidence of two lonely people brought together in a raging snowstorm doesn't give you a quiver. the unfolding plot will!

The film is based on the popular Harlequin classic by Anne Mather.

The David Bowie of "Space Od-dity" is definitely gone--floating endlessly in space. no doubt. The changes made in Bowie and his music can no longer be passed off as a mere phase the glitter genius is going through.

Bowie has straightened out. As he put it in a recent Rolling Stone

. article, a friend got through to him by telling him he wasn't worth the effort of caring about. He was vir-tually wasting himself.

The message apparently struck a harsh blow. The British rock star exiled himself to Germany and teamed up with a reclusive but fine musician, known on the latest album only by his last name Eno, to produce "Low". which was generally panned by shocked critics. Surely. they said. David was just going through a phase. a variation of the disco phase.

They were obviously wrong. The atmosphere in Germany — where rock stars are treated more like normal humans. and less attention is paid to childish behaviour and glitter-trips — seems to agree with Bowie.

His latest album. "Heroes: - is a blend of new sounds. strange vocals. and even stranger in-strumentals. The second side is

By Glen Dawkins Have you ever considered the perfect crime? A crime so fool-

proof that you might never be caught. The movie "Coma" takes on that possibility.

No. it is not another movie about political corruption or Watergate. "Coma" is a movie about a big city hospital (Boston Memorial) and a conspiracy which takes place in that hospital.

The conspiracy is unravelled by Dr. Susan Wheeler (Genevieve Bujold) after one of her close friends goes into a coma during a routine therapeutic abortion. She is not satisfied that something did not go wrong. and she starts to dig into the matter.

Nei' search leads her to an institute, sponsored by the govern-ment. in which coma patients are suspended by wires and their bodily functions are controlled by computer while their human organs are secretly being auctioned off. But you are always left wonder. "_Who is pulling the strings" (I could not avoid the pun).

Her actions do not go un-noticed and she is soon pursued by a deranged killer. hired by the conspirators to do away with her. This pursuit makes for great suspense. This is added to the fact that neither Wheeler nor the audience know who are the good guys and who are the had. A line from the movie aptly describes this, "there is no more black or white, just grey."

The movie makes a strong statement on the question, with whom does the responsibility on such issues as life, death. abortion and the like lie." The movie shows what could happen if the decision is simply left up to the doctors; what happens when society rejects the responsibility for these "life and death" decisions. For this reason I think the film should be seen by everyone. But I must warn you. if you are squemish or scared of the sight of blood, this movie examines all aspects of hospital including a visit to the morgue's freezer and an autopsy.

George Savalas do respect each other. "Telly and I. well. we're brothers. All that sibling business was done when we were little kids. We're brothers-we're friends. My mother's in California and Telly's there too. Our families get together and we have a lot of fun", he said.

Violence on television is a topic that stirs up two major emotions within Savalas. Anger and hope. He feels glorification of crime is terribly wrong and that Kojak "reveals the machinery awaiting any perpetrators." "I feel that if Kojak is doing the one thing that would help to restore respect to the man who exposes himself to max-imum danger for minimum money, then the show is doing a good job," he said.

For all the readers who always wanted to know what Telly Savalas is like off camera, George Savalas summed it up by saying, "He's a pussycat. He's the kind of a guy that would never be struck with the Hollywood syndrome... That Hollywood star nonsense, it's im-possible."

George Savalas himself is not star-struck. Although American horn: Savalas is Greek by his love for Greece.

is also kind of overwhelming for me when I go there." Savalas add-ed that he goes to Greece as often as he can and "walks where (his) father did."

As typical as it may sound, Savalas had no easy break into show business. "I am a 25-year over night sensation. I've held a spear for more yeafs than I care to remember." he said. "You've got to learn to live with rejection". And rejection he had. Savalas listed menial jobs ranging from bus boy to his shoe shining days. "Now Kojak is the vehicle. I thank God for it, but if the bubble bursts tomorrow, I'll go back to work", he said.

"A lot of fun". was Savalas's answer to what takes place off camera while on location in New York? Even though Telly Savalas yells and screams at his brother on camera. George says that it stops there after the word "cut". Savalas said if the "Kojak syndrome" was to persist on the part of Telly's character after the word "cut", he would jokingly threaten Telly with his pointed shoes, "and take care of things - . But in all reality. Telly and

dulging in a different hobby. The hard-working cop from Kojak is here to entertain Winnipeggers with song and jest at the Town and Country Cabaret until Saturday night. Savalas's act opens with Greek music and Greek dancers. What could he more appropriate? Then George Savalas runs up stage and pours out songs defining his feelings towards Greece. Between music and dancing, he explains lyrics and tells of life experiences involving individual songs. Because it was opening night and the Cabaret wii's about one-quarter empty. Savalas was light-hearted and said. "This is going to be a nice little intimate party." He kept everyone applauding and laughing, and a party it became.

Savalas does not do professional night club acts in Greece. "It's too emotional for me." he said describ-ing the feelings•of awe mixed with Greek ancient history and famous philosophers. "To he at the actual place where they functioned is somewhat overwhelming for me. To know that there might he just one drop of blood flowing through my veins that flowed through theirs

A kiss is still a kiss? Let's hope so. but what would you say if someone told you romance is still. good. old•fashioned romance? Chances are you may have some doubts about that idea! Well. doubt no more. for romance is alive and well and living in a new film. "Leopard in the Snow."

The movie is a first for Harle-quin Enterprises Ltd.. a Canadian paperback company and leading North American publisher of romantic fiction and premiered Feb. 3 at the Hyland. Kings and Park theatres.

If you have ever dreamt of fall-ing in love. your dream will probably be re-lived in "Leopard in the Snow. -

Don't expect a soapy tear-jerker, though! The title has undertones of intrigue. mystery and passion and if the strange coincidence of two lonely people brought together in a raging snowstorm doesn't give you a quiver. the unfolding plot will!

The film is based on the popular Harlequin classic by Anne Mather.

Debbi Therault

A beautiful. wealthy young woman running from an uncertain relationship which her family is en-couraging is thrown into the sheltered life of a handsome. inter-national racing car driver who is emotionally scarred by tragedy and physical disability.

The acting is good quality with Keir Dullea (as Dominic Lyall) whose previous credits include Paperback Hero and 2001: A Space Odyssey: Britain's popular Susan Penhaligon as Helen James and Kenneth More of BBC's For-sythe Saga as Helen's father.

Filmed near Collingwood. On-tario and in England. the scenes are full of color and suspense. The movie was directed by Gerry O'Hara. co-produced by John Quested and Chris Harrop with screenplay by Anne Mather and Jill Hyem.

Too simple a storyline and just too good to be true? Perhaps "Leopard in the Snow" does seem a bit idyllic but it's a welcome break from the old love'em and leaveem nostalgia films.

Moments forever lasting, following in pursuit of a dream. Leading to unknown darkness, seeking a new card to the game. Time has been no burden, we hare made it through the years, but yet it still reminds us, of the coming of new fears.

SPORTS Professional Coaches Are People Too

Horeczy Hotline they'll come up with the money. but if not. it makes the Nilsson-Hedberg problem look microscopic ... I see that a clause in Hedberg and Nilsson's contracts stipulates that the Jets could have kept them if they would have paid them $200.000 instead of the $150.000 which they are now be-ing paid. The reasons are Bailey didn't want to pay the Swedes the 200 grand and they couldn't afford it. Maybe so. but it seems like a Hell of a waste to lose these two who have meant so much to the franchise for $50.000 ... I hear a nasty rumour • that the Scooter Hockey tournament might be cancelled because of lack of teams.

pathy for the coaches who fall by the wayside, and give them credit for the good things they achieve.

They are under constant pressure by the media. the owners and the fans to produce. and to do so consistently. They suffer from insecurity; job secucity is rarely a strong point in their contracts. They have to extract and maintain a constant level of excellence from their players: recruiting is a hit-and-miss affair with prospective players showing promise and fail-ing to live up to that promise; it is difficult to hold together a group of dissimilar individuals and make them perform as a team: it is not easy to maintain motivation for continued excellence on a team that has a tradition of winning.

But these things are constantly being done by the coaches of our professional teams. and done very well. So let's take time-out from our frenzy for winners and show our appreciation for an endangered species. And let's do it before they become extinct.

petents should he kept on as coaches. I too was disappointed in Red Kelly when he thought he needed supernatural help to win a Stanley Cup for the Toronto Maple Leafs. I too thought he should be sent packing with his pyramids and ions. • But what about Bud Riley? In four years. he turned the Winnipeg Blue Bombers into an excellent team. I doubt very much that Ray Jaunch is going to make too many personnel changes on Riley's team. So why was Bud let go? Because the team didn't make the Western final.— because a befuddled B.C. Lion defender made a -defensive play he can't even remember, to thwart the potential Winnipeg touchdown that would have won the game.

I'm glad we got Ray Jaunch; I think its the best thing that could have happened to the Winnipeg team. But let's have some sym-

ing all over the place? Or why are so many booted upstairs as general managers? Incompetence? Not very often. You can't tell me that the L.A. Rams would re-hire George Allan if he was incompe- tent. So why . did the Redskins fire him? Poor track records? Look at the job Don Coryell did with the Cardinals or Hank Stram with Kansas City -Chiefs.

The same thing is going on in hockey. Coach Tom McVic of the Washington Capitals put his finger on the heart of the problem. He said when he took over as coach of the Caps that he wanted to turn the team into competitors overnight. You know where he got this idea? From the pressure we fans put on coaches to produce instant winners. McVic now realizes that a good. solid team takes time to build. so patience is needed. Especially by the fans.

I'm not advocating that com-

know where you're coming from. You say we fans wapt winners right? Wrong.

Tell me. friend. would you pay your hard-earned money to watch a hockey team that won all its games by heating up on the opposi-tion: or one that scores all its win-ning goals off weird rebounds from the backboards: would you enjoy watching a football team that can't buy a touchdown but wins on the toe of a powerful field-goal kicker: or a baseball team that scores its winning runs on opposition errors. Well. would you?

Sure I know those examples are ridiculous. but you can see what I'm driving at. Sure. everybody loves a winner. but wouldn't we prefer to see well-played and keen- ly competitive games? And, for the most part. aren't we getting just that? So the majority of coaches are doing a pretty good job. right?

So why are coaches' heads roll-

By J D Ali Let's hear it for the coaches in

professional sport. You know who . 1 mean ... the guys who are sup-posed to feed our egos by produc-ing perennial winners for us. So you got no sympathy for them, huh. What's that? They make more than five times your salary? How about the players' salaries? Oh. I sec. the name of the game is win-ning. and either they provide a winner or get out. right?

Wrong. friend. The name of the game is entertainment. not win-ning. and as long as they provide excellent entertainment I say they're doing their job and deserve every penny they get. In the final analysis we pay them. and the players and the owners. to provide us with entertainment.

And who arc WE? We are the fans who fill the ball parks, football stadiums and hockey arenas. Aha. I sec that glint in your eye ... you've got me now. right? I

It came as quite a shock to me that the Jets are in financial/ dif-ficulty. I thought all that was over with. They met this payroll but were lucky that good old Ben Hatskin, along with Saul Simkin, were around to lend them the money. I've always been impressed with Hatskin ever since he lured Bobby Hull away from the rival NHL. Even when the Jets were contemplating leaving the city un-der Hatskin's ownership. he agreed to sell the club to the public if they came up with the necessary funds ... The Jets need $270.000 for their next payrell, and although the Arena Enterprises say they will not charge them rent for the rest of the season. it still only amounts to about $30.000. I don't know where

doesn't get cancelled off ... I can't get over Harold Ballard, the Toronto Maple Leaf owner. He sure makes good copy: either blocking NHL-WHA mergers; try-ing to buy football teams. and now being fined $2.000 for not putting the names on the backs of the sweaters of his . team. Speaking in the Free Press. he said "I've got a plan. The names will be on the sweaters all right. but it will take a microscope to see them".

The Jets have come up hot of late, winning 8 straight games and boasting a 2-point lead on New England for first place.

. improve the Rangers and I'd love to see what he'd do with Hedberg and Nilsson. Derek Sanderson is now trying to make the Detroit Red Wings. He could he a good player if he'd change . his attitude. He was a very steady performer and excellent penalty killer with Boston before going to Philadelphia Blazers of the WHA in their first season. for a fantastic salary. He couldn't get along with the owner and ended up getting paid $1.000.000 to leave after only a few games. Then Ile went back to Boston. then to New York and then St. Louis where he was traded to Vancouver. I wonder if he can take the hint. Looking at some press clippings of ,a couple years ago. I find that Gordic Howe would have been perfectly happy to play for the Winnipeg Jets but Bob-by Hull never asked him. When Houston offered him a chance to play with his sons. he jumped at the chance. I'm sure if Howe was playing for the Jets today they wouldn't he running into financial difficulties and having trouble fill-ing the arena.

Bryan Trottier of the New York Islanders is leading the NHL in scoring over Guy Lafleur. I think Trottier deserves the Hart Trophy as the most valuable player not only for his individual ac-complishments and influence on the other Islanders. with his exam-ple of hard work. which has been the reason for the success of the Islanders. but also the terrific job he. along with Clark Gillies have done in molding Mike Bossy into definite all-star material.

With a 7-1 victory over Assinihoine C.C. Feb. II. the Rebels won the right to compete at Red Deer for the hockey tourna-ment as Manitoba champions.

Kevin Nihhs and Colin Atkin-son came up with 2 goals and an assist to lead the team. with Gerry Mosiondz chipping in with 1 goal and 3 assists. Archie Blink and Matt Mann came up with the other goals with Laurie Lewsey picking up 3 assists. Rick Rink and Joey Harris 2 each. Kerry Fisher was the winning goalie.

The Rebels finished the first period up 4-0 and never looked hack.

Manager John Schillinger said his players "were able to go out after a restful night and played hockey the way we were capable or'. (The Rebels had played two games the day before.) He said the Rebels skated hard and Assiniboia was hurting as it was their second game of the day.

Schillinger said the Rebels won't he able to lose the first game in the Red Deer tournament because it'll put the team out of the competi-tion. The Rebels will play the fifth place team in Preliminary "B" since they were fourth. If they lose that game. they go on to the con-solation side and play for consola-tion first place.

On February 7. Rebels lost a "tough one" 6-5 in overtime to St. Boniface Mohawks. Schillinger says "we played well enough to win" having come from behind 3-1 early in the second and tieing it 3-3 by the end of the period and then from 5-3 early in the third to tie it 5-5 only to lose with four minutes left in the 10-minute overtime period.

Meanwhile. against the Pas, Schillinger admits that the Rebels have the stronger team.

Schillinger says despite the 6-4 score. it was a "tight game" with the Rebels having trouble putting the puck behind The Pas goalie who "probably . had one of his best games of the season". The guys kept working though and eventual-ly the goals started coming. • •

On Feb. 10. the Rebels played two games. In the morning they played the first game of the 4-West championship. heating Keewatin 6-4. In the evening. they lost to Assiniboine 6-3.

John Schillinger said the Assiniboine team was a "lot more capable than anticipated". Corn-pared to last year. when Rebels heat them 21-2. he says they have come a long way and much of the credit should go to 0. B. Erickson. their coach who was the captain of Rebels last year.

This year's captain, Colin Atkin-son. scored two of the Rebels goals with Laurie Graham getting the other. Matt Mann assisted on both of Atkinson's goals while Arnie Biluk and Gerry Mosiondz picked up I assist each. The Rebels held a 2-1 lead at the end of the first but Assiniboine came up with 3 un-answered goals in the second to get the lead which they never lost.

Goalie Kerry Fisher kept the Rebels in the game even in penalty situations. He had an outstanding game and without him in the net, The Pas score could have been much higher. Schillinger says.

The Rebel scoring was divided evenly between Joe Wood. Arnie Biluk. Cohn Atkinson. Laurie_ Lewsey. Rick Rink and Darryl Sylvester with one each. Biluk and Lewsey also added assists with the others going to Bob Liss.. Laurie Graham. Brad Sawyer. Ted Lopushansky. Matt Mann and Gerry Mosiondz.
