RETIRED POLICEMAN. 92 Talks On Christmas Drunks By JOHN STEELE How does one interview a 92- year-old, former motorcycle police officer? The answer was relatively simple: I turned on my tape recorder, sat back, and listened. George Fredrich Dickinson is just one of the 125 guests ex- pected to attend Humber's annual Senior Citizens' Christinas dinner on December 19. The entire evening is being sponsored by Humber College's second year public relations' class. Mr. Dickinson, a lively articulate man, was bom on September 12, 1880 in a small village in Lin- colnshire County, England. At ttie age of nine, after only two years of formal education he set out to assist his father in the brick- building industry. In a time when machines were imheard of, young George made well over 700,000 bricks by hand by the time he was 22. Brick-making and George parted company when he joined the Lincolnshire police force in 1902. This started his 40-year career with various law enforcement agencies both in England and Toronto. In 1906, he arrived in Toronto and stSrted work with the City police; conditions for a rookie officer at that time were not ideal. A con- stable's pay cheque for one month amounted to oidy $54.25, minus deductions and he was forced to work an entire year before he was allowed a day off. Mechanization came to the Toronto police force in 1912 when a group of four motorcyclists were used to curb Metro's ever in- creasing traffic problem. Mr. Dickinson is the only surviving member of that first motorcycle squad. The maximum speed limit in Toronto at that time was 15 miles-per-hour and Mr. Dickinson claims that he could run faster then his vehicle was allowed to travel. With ahnost unbelievable recall he talked of making his first arrest: A young Englii^ man, after visiting a local pub was travelling down Bathurst Street on the rear of a street car. He wished to get off at Dundas, but was unable to draw the attention of the driver to stop the car. The car reached Dundas and the young man decided to jump from the fast-moving trolley. He tumbled off the car and rolled down Dundas Street before coming to a stop; face down in the middle of the road. Mr. Dickinson said he thought surely the man had perished in his fall; running over to him he turned him upright and exclaimed, "good gracious man, what ever made you do that." The Cockney, in his best inebriated accent replied, "gor blimey of- ficer, don't you get excited, I always get off like that." Mr. Dickinson's ability to recite poetry is quite remarkable when you consider that some of it was written well over 70 years ago. He promised us that this year he would recite some poetry for this year's Christmas party. Senior citizens love to entertain themselves when at social gatherings and if Mr. Dickinson's poetry is any criterion, it will be a very entertaining evening.

Talks On Christmas DrunksBy JOHNSTEELE

How does one interview a 92-

year-old, former motorcycle police

officer? The answer was relatively

simple: I turned on my tape

recorder, sat back, and listened.

George Fredrich Dickinson is

just one of the 125 guests ex-

pected to attend Humber's annual

Senior Citizens' Christinas dinner

on December 19. The entire

evening is being sponsored byHumber College's second year

public relations' class.

Mr. Dickinson, a lively articulate

man, was bom on September 12,

1880 in a small village in Lin-

colnshire County, England. At

ttie age of nine, after only two

years of formal education he set

out to assist his father in the brick-

building industry. In a time whenmachines were imheard of, young

George made well over 700,000

bricks by hand by the time he was22.

Brick-making and George parted

company when he joined the

Lincolnshire police force in 1902.

This started his 40-year career

with various law enforcementagencies both in England and

Toronto.

In 1906, he arrived in Toronto andstSrted work with the City police;

conditions for a rookie officer at

that time were not ideal. A con-

stable's pay cheque for one monthamounted to oidy $54.25, minusdeductions and he was forced to

work an entire year before he wasallowed a day off.

Mechanization came to the

Toronto police force in 1912 when a

group of four motorcyclists wereused to curb Metro's ever in-

creasing traffic problem. Mr.Dickinson is the only surviving

member of that first motorcycle

squad. The maximum speed limit

in Toronto at that time was 15

miles-per-hour and Mr. Dickinson

claims that he could run faster

then his vehicle was allowed to

travel.

With ahnost unbelievable recall

he talked of making his first

arrest: Ayoung Englii^ man, after

visiting a local pub was travelling

down Bathur st Street on the rear of

a street car. He wished to get off at

Dundas, but was unable to drawthe attention of the driver to stop

the car. The car reached Dundasand the young man decided to

jump from the fast-moving trolley.

He tumbled off the car and rolled

accent replied, "gor blimey of-

always get off like that."

Mr. Dickinson's ability to recite

poetry is quite remarkable whenyou consider that some of it waswritten well over 70 years ago. Hepromised us that this year hewould recite some poetry for this

year's Christmas party.

Senior citizens love to entertain

themselves when at social

gatherings and if Mr. Dickinson's

poetry is any criterion, it will be avery entertaining evening.

On the subject of Christmas,

George related to us his first

Christmas eve on the beat: All

officers had been ordered to get the

drunks home if at all possible.

George and his fellow officer,

came across a man who had too

much to drink and was lying fast

TOWNHOUSEPROPOSAL

New housing plan

may accomodate studentsByBILLLmSTONE

Areas near the College scheduled

for townhouses or apartments

could be developed for student

housing. Ian Macpherson, Director

of Planning for the Borough of

Etobicoke suggested that the

Ontario Housing CoriK)ration could

assist in providing such housing.

Mr. Macpherson made this

suggestion at a meeting of

members of the administration

and the Board of Governors onDecember 8. The meeting was held

to discuss development plans for

Planning District Oa. Humber is

situated in the middle of the

district.

The Board of Governors is

concerned over land allocated for

townhouses along Humber College

Boulevard, directly in front of the

College. They also questioned the

use of a section of land opposite the

Etobicoke General Hospital, which

is zoned as commercial. There had

been rumors of a shopping centre

being constructed there.

Mr. Macpherson cahned the

fears of the Board by saying that

the lot opposite the hospital waszoned for offices and small stores.

No shopping complex of any size

has been planned for Humber's

immediate area.

College unions

ask for

autonomy policyBy CHRIS JACKSON

The 22 presidents of student

unions in Ontario communitycolleges have asked the Student

Affairs Conmiittee of the Council of

Regents for a uniform policy onstudent autonomy.

The request came in a resolution

presented to the committee when it

met with the presidents at Queen's

Park, December 1. The Council of

Regents is the top poUcy-making

body of the community college

system.

The Student Affairs Conmiittee

of the council is its liaison with

student governments of the

province.

The resolution asks the Boards of

Governors of each college to assist

in the collection of SU fees but to

leave student government in the

hands of elected student officials.

At this time each student

government must hope for the

sympathy of its Board of Gover-

nors in respect to autonomy.

Mr. Whittingham, a member of

the Council of Regents would

consider the resolution at its next

Although the Council of Regents

cannot order the Boards of

the SU presidents hope that after

the resolution.

The meeting was also informed

of a draft of 14 suggestions com-piled by SU officials fromAlgonquin, Centennial, St.

proposing changes in the Ontario

Student Awards Program.

Some of the proposed changes

are the lowering of the age of m-dependence, changing the

definition of independence to in-

clude unmarried as well as

married students at the age of

amount of loans from $800. to $600.

thus raising the grants by $200.

THE SPENDING FREEZE

Overcrowding to get worse

1

ByBRUNMcLAINThe Ontario government's freeze

on educational spending will hurt

community colleges more than

universities, according to DerekHome, Vice-president, ad-

ministration.

"Community colleges are still in

the growing stage", said Mr.Home in an interview onDecember 6. "This will force adeceleration in their expansion.

Enrollment could exceed ourcapabilities to acconunodate newstudents".

Mr. Homesaid the government's

policy means there won't be anynew construction of buildings for

colleges and universities.

Humber will get money to finish

building 4A but the request for

building 4B falls after the newmoratorium.

Building 4B would have con-

tained IMC, library, bank, mainbookstore, administration offices

and a small theatre.

The other Humber campuses will

also be affected.

"Our hopes for facilities in the

southern part of Etobicoke have

been stalled. Wewere planning to

acquire new land to put up newbuildings".

Mr. Homesaid Etobicoke wants

back the land South campus is

located on.

"I think Randa students have

already moved to the QueenswayCampus, which will put a strain

there, and the others wiU come to

the North Campus."The Keelesdale Campus is

inadequate. It's crowded to the

gills", said Mr. Home. "For three

years we've been looking for

suitable buildings but I hear the

area is quite crowded".

"The government was looking

ahead to the 'post-war baby-boom'which would increase enrollment

at colleges 20 years after the war."Now it figures that enrollment

will go down and that space at

colleges and universities isn't

being used as efficiently aspossible.

"In a way I'd have to agreebecause the government is trying

to give the taxpayer a fair return

for his dollar".

Mr. Homeestimated the freeze

would last from one-and-a-half to

two years.

He said the number of newstudents entering Humberwouldn't be curtailed.

"Our enrollment this year wasup 24 per cent while the provincial

average was an increase of 13 per

cent. iThere is no reason to expect a

decrease next year.

"We'll go along normally until

we can't accommodate any morestudents", said Mr. Home. "It will

mean new programs requiring newfacilities won't get off the ground".

The educational process "will be which was established at Humber

The Centre is an innovation in

the Ontario community college

system and has adopted the themeof "Environmental Understanding

guideline.

Mr. Speight emphasized that this

organization isn't attempting to

Centre is to act as a coordinating

body to make the resources of

Humber College available to the

government, industry and public

by discussing, understanding andhelping solve environmentalissues.

Mr. Speight said environmental

must be predominant in such a

sociologically oriented program of

There is an increasing need for

cases of environmental abuses

Mr. Speight, "and it is the

responsibiUty of education." Toooften the danger signals come upafter the critical stages, but wemust be careful and look at it in asystematic way, he said.

number's approach to the en-

vironment is cautious, due in part

to the fact that many similar plans

have met with little success andbecause there isn't a comparableprogram to refer to. An Operations

Committee, composed of faculty

members representing all

academic divisions, was created to

assist Mr. Speight and help to

develop relevant courses,

seminars and vocational programsgeared to the specifics of en-

The next step, in the new year,

Christmas HintsByDICKWESr(UPI)

As a public service this column has been helping readers get organized

for Christmas. It is assumed that you have already taught the partridges

to roost in the pear tree and innoculated the turtle doves against parrot

fever.

Both are giant strides toward bringing Christmas under control, but

here are some other tips that will .put you right on top of the holiday

season

:

CHAIN CARDS—Why risk a swollen, mungy tongue from licking

hundreds of stamps for Christmas cards. Just send season's greetings to

five of your friends and ask them to pass it on to five of their friends or

relatives.

SUCKLINGPIGS —Tired of the same old suckling pig with an apple in

his mouth on your Christmas table. Break with tradition. Put a tangerine

in the old porker's mouth.ARTIFICIAL REALISM—Adda touch of authenticity to your artificial

Christmas tree by trimming it with real snow and icicles. Spray the tree

with the nasal congestant of your choice, then, instead of using a con-

ventional tree stand, put your tree into a small food freezer. This will

congeal the nasal spray producing snowflakes and ice formations.YULELOGS—Pollution regulations ban the burning of yule logs in

many areas, but if you block the chimney with a moose head or a Santatrap the smoke will stay in your livingroom.

ODDLEGS—Now that pantyhose has cornered the stocking market,families with an odd number of children are liable to run into jurisdic-

tional disputes and other squabbles. Comethe time to hang the stockings,

there will be an extra leg. Plan ahead. Adopt another child or sell one of

your kids to a passing gypsy.TINSEL —Excessive gUtter in Christmas decorations can be

prevented by coating the tinsel with shoe polish.

for a magazine. I'd rather not

mention its name, however, to

appease many curious minds,

I'll give you a clue by saying,

the magazine photographers

draw 'lots' for assignments.

I attended a press conference

for the cast of 'Irene', a newmusical that is trying out in

Toronto before it begins a

Broadway run. DebbieReynolds, who is the star of the

musical noticed me. Yes, she

noticed me because I was the

reporter who made an idiot of

himself.

The conference officially

started with reporters in-

troducing themselves. It wentsomething like this. "I'm LarrySolway of CBC." the sound of

enthusiastic applause thensomeone else said his name andagain there was enthusiastic

applause and so it went, aroundthe room until it came to me. I

panicked, I couldn't rememberthe name of my magazine andstammered, . . ."eh DavidForman COVEN". . . People

looked at me suspiciously.

The room was packed with

video tape recorders and guys

with high voices and tight pants.

One photographer was crawling

around on the carpet in obscene

positions taking shots of Debbie

Reynolds presumably all in the

name of art. His neck wasdraped with about four

cameras, some of which hadzoom lens that defied gravity.

Being a cool guy, I decided .to

take a few exclusive shots

myself. I whipped out myBrownie 127 and took photos of

Larry Solway.

My editor was very pleased

with me. He said next time he

wanted a story on LarrySolway, I'd be the first he'd call.

HUMBERCOLLEGEOF APPLIED ARTS A ND TECHNOLOGY

Happy G.N.P.With only nine days left to Christmas, the so-called

Christmas spirit is well hidden this year. Strange

things are beginning to happen at this 'happy' time of

the year. But, where is that Christmas spirit that

everyone talks so much about?

Almost everywhere there are signs that Christmasis upon us. There are Christmas trees, Christmaslights, Christmas displays, Christmas parties,

Christmas carollers and Christmas bills.

With young thieves singing Christmas carols and

ripping people off for money at the same time, it

surely makes for an unhappy Christmas for somepeople. Every year, hundreds of people are vic-

timized by opportunistic thieves.

Another disheartening aspect of this Christmas is

the outlandish number of artificial Christmas trees

people are buying. No offence to the factories

producing them, but so many houses this year will

lack pine or spruce tree scent of a real Christmas

tree. Somehow it seems Christmas is becoming acelebration of our Gross National Product rather than

the religious holiday it once was. Thank goodness

they haven't got artificial turkeys, yet!

In spite of all this, many people will be happy this

Christmas; especially the underprivileged children

and senior citizens. Campaigns, dinners, parties andChristmas food and toy drives are run for them bymany schools and organizations every year.

To avoid trouble this Christmas, lock your doorswhen you go out; remember not to carry largeamounts of cash when gift shopping; and to avoid theChristmas rush, get Into the spirit early. P.S.— Checkthe label on your turkey.

Library hides booksIdiocy is running rampant in Number's Library. It

seems that this year the library staff has decided thatall books being used as texts will be stored in the barn.The reasoning for this piece of beaurocraticmismanagment is that books were stolen from thelibrary last year.

Whether the library staff believes it or not, manystudents at the college are not rich, and cannot affordto buy all the texts they need for their courses. Thisdoes not condone stealing, but it does present a goodreason for the text books being put back on the library

shelves.

A security guard at the library door could

discourage most book thieves and allow students

access to the books. If necessary, all people entering

the library could leave their binders and briefcases

outside. Surely this system is better than hiding the

books completely. The library is for the convenienceand benefit of the students. Our studies mean morethan the loss of some books. iii

Beware of Xmas CarollersBy DORISFREITAG

Lock your doors, hide your

money, and don't trust anystrangers —it's Christmas time

again.

Because of the naturally jolly

and trusting aura that develops

at this time of the year, people are

more likely to invite strangers into

their homes. This means not only

door-to^oor salesmen and can-

vassers for worthy causes, but

includes the innocent and lovable

faces of Christmas carollers.

Beware! Their intentions are not

always honorable.

On the evening of Thursday,

November 30, three youngcarollers made their rounds in the

Spadina Road area, where a friend

and I live. We were enjoying a

leisurely cup of coffee in my kit-

chen on the second floor of a

rooming house, when we heard a

shuffle in the hallway.

"We're in here!" we called,

thinking the footsteps belonged to

friends.

Wenext listened to an off-key but

charming * We wish you a MerryChristmas' sung from two young

faces in the kitchen door, then a

request for donations.

"No, sorry, we don't have any

money," we explained, thinking

the boys were collecting only for

their own benefit rather than the

polar bear for the new zoo they

touted.

They shuffled dovm the steps

even more quickly than they

shuffled up.

Very soon after that, I realized

we were minus $100.

We called the police im-

mediately. The explanation wassimple. Money was carelessly left

on the dresser in an open roomwhile we were in the shared kit-

chen down the hall. Two boys sang

while the remaining youngster

walked into the open room andlifted the cash. Simple.

The constable sent to the house

was a rookie. He didn't know where

Ossington Avenue was when weasked hun to drive there, since the

boys mentioned the name of a

public school near there. He wasfrom a small town, he said, andnew to the force.

After four days of futile attempts

to reach the person in charge of

this case at the Metro Police

Department, I decided to telephone

the public school myself. No luck.

The principal was out and never

called back.

So, $100 of hard-earnedChristmas money is gone, with

little chance of it ever being

retrieved.

Information music

ByUNMcLEOD

You are listening to the CHUM-FM announcer beginning another

record promo, "There's something

about Roy Buchanan." You wait

for him to finish his "spiel" and

wondering what is so special about

this man. Then you hear why —four of the most soulful blues notes

to ever leave the strings of a

whiteman's guitar.

That's the way it struck me andjudging from Roy Buchanan's

reputation a lot more people feel

the same way. Eric Clapton openly

states that Roy is the best white

blues guitarist around. Buchanan"was the man who was offered the

job of lead guitar with the Rolling

Stones and turned it down. He said

that he was too lazy to learn the

songs.

Buchanan is what many people

call a guitarist's guitarist, lliis

means that although he may have

a universal appeal, musicians

would especially appreciate his

work. Listen to his excellent use of

harmonics, a special guitar

tg:hnique. This man can make his

guitar cry. His technical ex-

cellence along with the great

emotion found in his music have

made him a guitarist's legend.

Roy is not interested in becominga rock superstar, for the samereason he was not interested in

becoming a Rolling Stone. Therock world is completely alien to

the life he was used to. He rarely

leaves 'The Club,' a Washingtonnightspot that he uses as a homebase. His attitude towards the rock

life and many aspects of his music

are mostly a product of his up-

bringing.

Roy was bom into a very poor

evangelistic family. He lived in the

part of America where there is a

very strong church-family feeling.

On Sundays, the community would

gather for a "Say Hallelujah

Brother "-Holy Modal Roller"

session. They sang gospel songs

with considerable emotion and felt

a great affinity with God. In manycases this is all that kept themgoing. It quickly becomes very

apparent that these people do have

quite a lot of soul.

When you listen to the blues of

Roy Buchanan you know that this

man is for real. He has ex-

perienced the blues. Like the blues

of the Black American, there is a

feeling of deep grief with overtones

of jubilation. The sad notes

represent the hell that the Negro

experiences on earth, while the

happy notes represent the

salvation he will find in heaven. Aspreviously mentioned this is not

restricted to the music. OnBuchanan's record this feeling is

best illustrated in the spoken lines,

"I've walked in a lot of places I

never should have been, but I knowthat the messiah, He will comeagain."

Roy Buchanan's music is not

only blues. He is also a very ac-

complished Country and Western

musician. He has been seen

jamming with such country giants

as Merle Haggard. Onhis album he

explores four different areas of

country music. "I am a LonesomeFugitive" is a sad ballad while,

"Cajun is Louisianna swampmusic (Doug Kershaw style).

"Haunted House" is like a country

jam with vocals and "Jey GoodLookin" is a good-time HankWilliams song.

Roy is also a fine rock and jazz

musician but unfortunately he

neglected this music on the album.

Thanks to this recording he is no

longer just a legend. I'll have to

agree with CHUM-FM. Therecertainly is something about RoyBuchanan.

Number Cine instructor

is hoping for on OscarByKARINSOBOTA

A Humber instructor is com-peting for an Oscar.

Tad Jaworski, a cinematographyinstructor, recently won the

Canadian Etrog Award for his

film, "Selling Out", which dealt

with an old man auctioning his

farm in Prince Edward Island.

The Etrog Award was presented

this year for the best Canadiandocumentary film.

As a result of the Etrog, Mr.Jaworski, has been invited to

submit his film to Hollywood by the

Academy of Motion Picture Arts

and Sciences. The film will be

judged for an Oscar in the

Documentary Category.

Half the $4200 to enlarge the film

from 16mmto 35mmwas loaned bythe Student Union. The other half

was raised from other sources,

according to Mike Gudz, the

Supervisor of the Photography andCine Programmes.

number's SUwill get a credit on

the picture as a result of the loan.

In a letter to the SU, Mr. Gudz,

"As I see it, we have a one-in-ten

chance of winning. I sincerely feel

that we should take this gamble.

The publicity for this program,

Humber College, and the Student

Union is immeasurable."To be eligible, the film must be in

Hollywood by December 30. Mr.

Gudz added that speed wasnecessary to enlarge the film and

edit if necessary.

"Selling Out" was shown on the

CBC last November.

Arctic documentarysponsored by Humber

Humber sociology teacher Lyle

Bebensee, sailed from Halifax

through the North West Passagelast summer, filming adocumentary about the Arctic

Highland.

Mr. Bebensee is a con-

servationist and geographer,

concerned with the natural

resource potentials of our Arctic

hinterlands.

The fihn explores the vegetation

and geography of the area, con-

centrating on the rock structures

and their potential for holding

natural gas and oil deposits.

"It was a one man operation,"

said Mr. Bebensee. "I even did

most of the final editing myself."

Mr. Bebensee was originally

scheduled to sail on the Hudson, a

government ship, but, the numberof passengers on the ship was cut.

Through his brother's connections,

Mr. Bebensee travelled on the

'Theron' as a free passenger, in

return for a copy of ttie completed

film. The crew of 34 included 14

scientists.

The fikn cost $6,000 "I didn't get

a danm cAt from the govern-

ment," said Mr. Bebensee.

Humber ludned him two cameras,

and gave him a minimum grant.

The College also promised to buy a

copy of the film, which was shown

to the Board of Governors at their

last meeting.

"Humber gave me an extended

vacation", said Mr. Bebensee. "I

couldn't have done the film

otherwise."

Mr. Bebensee completed a

documentary on Australia in 1969,

and one on NewZealand in 1972. Heis now completing a conservation

film of the Niagara Escarpment,which has been 4% years in the

making.

"It is extremely difficult to get

your money back on these kinds of

films," said Mr. Bebensee.However, his Australian film has

been aired eight times on ETV, and

RIMSTEAD

he expects it to pay for itself in

another year.

Mr. Bebensee hopes to find amarket for his Arctic film in

schools, on TV, with libraries, andthe Federal government. So far, hehas had no reaction from any of

these areas.

In addition to producing the

Australia film, Mr. Bebenseewrote the musical background,

part of which is being used as the

sign-off for an Australian radio

station.

He was seriousBy BRIAN KEITH

Paul Rimstead ran hi Toronto's

mayorality campaign as a serious

candidate, but was treated as one

of the radicals by the newspapersand television.

Mr. Rimstead was speaking to

Journalism students here last

Wednesday when he made the

conmient about politics and the

media being so interdependent. Hewas disappointed at the CBC for

not taking him seriously, and for

not even bothering to inquire about

his platforms.

Mr. Rimstead spoke of his ownexperiences in journalism, starting

with his adventures in small-town

papers. After working at the

Sudbury Star, he found the writers

for Toronto's daiUes lacked the

spirit he liked in smaller papers.

Young reporters are idealistic,

he said, many fresh out of college

want to shoot down the world. Hethought it takes at least six monthsafter being hired for graduates to

"forget everything they havelearned".

Concerning his popular daily

column in the Toronto Sun, Mr.

Rimstead attributed his success to

his writing style, which is simple,

"mainly because I don't know any

big words".

His real desire is to write books,

but he finds his lack of self

discipline is hampering his efforts.

ByBORYSLENKOCandle selling has become

big business in Metropolitan

Toronto, especially during this

festive season.

Candleship Candles, which has

been in business for three years, is

behind on production this

Christmas season.

Most of the company's business

comes from selling candles on

Toronto streets. Last month, then-

business was booming because of

the coming hoUday.

The company was established

with $65 in 1969, by Don Stiber, an

inmiigrant from Cleveland, Ohio.

According to Mr. Stiber his

operation is now worth $100,000.

Sixty-five people are employed

by the candle company, 30 in the

Brant St. factory and 35 on Toronto

streets selling the product.

Three quarters of the company's

revenue comes from the Toronto

street sellers. They set up stands

on Yonge St., mostly around

Wellesley and Gould Streets, the

busiest corners of the downtown

businessDuring the Christmas season the

company makes about $1,000 per

day. According to Mr. Stiber, the

firm just gets by during other

seasons.

It took Don Stiber two years to

perfect his candle makingoperation. His company runs 24

hours a day. It takes three days to

make one candle.

According to Mr. Stiber it, tookthe company two years to show aprofit. At present, Mr. Stiber is

only a half owner. He had to sell

part of his investment when timeswere bad.

Most of the people employed at

the company from the beginning.

Mr. Stiber thinks of this com-pany as a family business rather

than a hard professional set up.

It costs the company "$2 to

produce one of their 160-hour

candles. The street price is $3.50

compared to $5.00 in Toronto

stores.

Mr. Stiber feels that his candles

are among the best on the market.

HOLIDAY WEAR

Palazzos are a favorite

Accordion pleated palazzos topped by a midriff baring evening skirt.

Palazzos and a back-baring Lurex halter neck top.

By CHARLOTTEEMPEYChristmas is almost here, and with it invitations to holiday get-

togethers.

The key to this year's holiday fashions seems to be feminine

glamour. The softest pastels, the fluffiest mohairs are sparkled

with beading or Lurex glitter. The feminine fabrics; crepes, satins

and wool jerseys are being shown everywhere.

Palazzo pants are the hit of the holiday seasoa In knits and satins

and crepes, some have legs up to 60 inches. They are a happycompromise between the long skirt and the dinner pant.

Top your palazzos with a barely-there halter neck sweater in

Lurex knit or pastel angora. Or try one of the new sweater sets; a

tiny halter or bra top covered up by a matching sweater jacket.

Long dresses are still news for holiday wear. Someof tiie freshest

have voluminous bias-cut or accordion pleated skirts. Most are , i

baring the back. "^ ^

A great way to add glitter and new holiday excitement to last

year's satin shirt or velvet blazer is studs; in rhinestones or tiny

gold globes.

Your holiday makeup should look just as fresh and festive as the

rest of you. The word is color; soft, subtle and shiny. Experimentwith some of the glittery eyeshadows in gold and silver. Try ap-

plying your makeup with brushes. They help create the subtle tone-

oi^tone glow to light up a holiday face.

m Humber's fourth Christmas party for staff children was 'really good.' Santa listened carehilly to all

Mm wishes.

By KARENDUNBAROver 500 children and countless

parents roamed Humber's first

floor Saturday morning during the

fourth annual Christmas party

held for staff children and those

from the nearby Ontario HousingProject.

The party, run by first-year

Recreational Leadership students,

got underway at 9:00 withChristmas carols in theAuditorium. After that, there weretwo cartoons by the National FilmBoard, and a magic show byProfessor Plumb.

These activities, however, were

just the preliminaries before the

big event. At 11:00, a knock

resounded in the Auditorium. Avoice called out, "Who's there?",

and Santa himself came down the

stairs.

After a visit on Santa's knee,

every child received a gift.

According to George Brazier, a

Recreational Leadership student

the party was planned in Sep-

tember. During September and

October, over 700 gifts are bought

for four age groups; one to three,

four to six, seven to nine, and 10

years and over. These gifts use the

majority of a lump sum donated by

number; about $800.

The Hotel and RestaurantAdministration course donatedapproximately 8,000 home-baked

cookies, as well as Santa and his

two helpers.

Pat Lennie, an elf and one of the

coordinators of the Recreational

Leadership party, said the

students worked all day Thursday

putting up decorations. About 20

stayed overnight in the college,

finishing the decorations andcleaning. Ms. Lennie added somestudents dicjn't get to sleep at all

Friday night. She said the City of

Toronto donated the machines for

some of the games for the day, andIrwin Toys supplied the clown

costumes.

Bill Clark, another coordinator

and overseer of the party, said the

leftover gifts are given to Crippled

Civilians.

About 60 students volunteered to

help out. They included students

from other courses as well asRecreational Leadership. One such

student, Brian Keith, in his first

year in Public Relations, volun-

teered to be "Sam the Piano

Player", accompanying carols in

the Auditorium. Mr. Keith said, "I

enjoyed it very much and I'm sure

the youngsters did as well." Louise

Sankey, a Grade 12 bon Mill

Collegiate student, said a friend

from Recreational Leadershipinterested her in the party. JoePittelli, a first-year itecreational

Leadership student said simply,

"It's a riot."

The children enjoyed it, eventhose who don't believe in Santa

Claus. Ten-year-old MelanieWhite, whose father works at

Queensway campus, said shethinks the party was "really

good". When asked whether she

believed in Santa, she sai^, "I

believe there was a Santa once,"

but that he doesn't exist now. Oneanonymous girl said her family

thought she believed in Santa, but

she didn't because she was too old.

She said she lets them believe whatthey want.

NEWFILM

Booed by AudienceByLIZBORG

One of the worst films to hit

Toronto is, "Play It As It Lays,"

which is currently playing it at the

Uptown Theatre for a three-week

run. A word of warning to those of

you who might have heard about it

—beware.

It is interesting to note how film

makers advertise a new movie. In

the case of the "Godfather," studio

executives have relied on the

impact of Puzo's novel andBrando's meritorious per-

formance. With "Play It As It

Lays," Universal is bilUng it as the

'new Frank Perry Film', therefore

relying on the popularity of the

Director's previous work. Perry's

other film credits include "David

and Lisa," "Last Summer," and"Diary of a MadHousewife." After

having seen "Play It ..." his mostrecent film, one can only assumethat the popularity of such a

director could only add just

another name to this mere shred of

film art.

The film is about the emotional

life of Maria, (played by Tuesday

Weld) who is constantly

questioning her sanity. This is

shown through use of flashback

reflecting the various episodes in

her life. In one scene she is driving

down a highway shooting at road

signs with a revolver. Theaudience is led to believe that she

is insane, but surrounded by

Hollywood neurotics, she recovers

as the only sane person in the film.

Anthony Perkins' role in the film is

useless. As the pretty-faced

assistant director to Weld's ex-

husband and director, Perkins

keeps Weld company through somescenes and intimidating her by

telling her that her life is similar to

his.

The film goes nowhere, from the

very beginning. The audience is

left waiting to see what the

message is, only to be disappointed

in the last sequence where Weldadmits that she does think she's

crazy. Her last line, "It's the

shits," perfectly defines, the

audiences' reaction.

Of all the movies to date, this is

the first one I know of that has beenloudly booed by an audience whopaid $2.75 for entertainment!

Humberpromotednumber's business students will

advertise the college personally

over the holidays.

This is an experiment to promote

Humber in highschools in Ontario,

one in Alberta, and one in Pitt-

sburg, Pennsylvania. The idea for

this Secondary School Com-munication E*r(^am came fromMargaret Reeves of the Business

Division, after other attempts at

advertising the CoUege proved

ineffective.

According to Director of the

program, Robert Robinson,students could do a far better job

than the adminstrators. Booklets

and ad literature have been tried.

"Students involved with students

should work out better," he said.

Seventy-five schools will be

visited in the program, which is

operated only by the Business

Division, and 150 students are

participating. The job of each

student is to visit his or her old

highschool, all on a volunteer

basis, talk about Humber, andanswer questions that may arise

from highschool students.

Hawks lose due

to poor playBy LARRYMAENPAA

Agincourt —The Cambrian Colts

outmuscled and outplayed the

Humber Hawks to coast to an easy6-1 win in a hockey game Thur-

sday, E>ecember 7.

At no time during the game did

the Hawks pose a serious scoring

threat.

Erratic passing, poor playmaking, and failure to clear the

puck from their own zone con-

tributed to the Hawk defeat.

Humber defenders constantly

left Colts open in front of the net

which resulted in three Cambriangoals.

The first period was closely

played. The Colts scored first on a

goal by Lee Parker at 10:16.

number's Al loi tied the game byfiring high into the net after the

goalie went down in a goal-mouth

scramble. Assists were given to

Larry Rudyk and Steve Barker.

At 17:24, loi slid heavily into the

boards and injured his leg. He wastaken off the ice in a stretcher and

missed the rest of the match. The

remaining time was carried into

the second.

At 19:23 of the first period time,

the Colts scored to take charge for

the rest of the game.

By 4 : 10 of the second Lee Parker

had scored twice more to give aCambrian a 4-1 lead.

Late in the second, Cambrian

tallied another at 12:34 and ended

the period leading 5-1.

Into the third, Humberrecovered somewhat allowing the

Colts to score only once more, on ashort-handed goal by Don Wright

at 16:27.

The Hawks have the potential to

be a top contender but so far they

have not welded into a team-

conscious unit.

Injuries are hurting the Hawks

WOMEN'SVOLLEYBALL

Hawks pace leagueBy BEVERLEYDALTON

The maroon and gold of HumberCollege, polished off three teams to

win an Ontario Colleges' Athletic

Association women's volleyball

tournament.

Seneca College hosted the gamesin North York December 9.

Hawks have sole possession of

first place with a five game edge onCentennial CollegM)f Scarborough.

Throughout the tournament,

Humber dominated the play

because of their excellent team-

work. "The major reason why wewon the tournament was because

the team worked together," said

Coach Carolyn Debnam.

Mona Coyle, captain of the

Hawks, has developed an ex-

ceptional overhand smash serve

that aided the team in its victory.

Another outstanding player wasDeanna Pacini who was a

tremendous asset to the team.

"Deanna is the strongest spiker on

the team and has the quickest

reflexes I have ever seen," said the

coach.

"If we can get two or three weeksof practices in before the finals in

Ottawa then we could give Rouyn-Noranda College, from Quebec, astrong opposition. Our biggest

problem is some players are

missing practices because of

employment committments.However, I am very optimistic

about the team because we are

fortunate in having several

talented individuals," remarkedCarolyn.

Humber vs. George Brown

Injuries to three first-string

hockey players have hampered the

Humber Hawks in developing as a

team.

Wingers John MacLeod andScott Langdon, and defencemanGlenn Gordon, sidelined by serious

injuries, have been out of action for

several weeks.

John Cowan has replacedMacLeod and Keith Jefferson has

been moved from defence to for-

ward. Bruno Dirracolo has beenbrought in as an extra forward.

The loss of MacLeod andLangdon has weakened the Hawk'soffence. Coach Al Landry feels that

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Langdon makes the line of StuHerod, John Watt, and Langdonreally work. MacLeod is missed for

his hard, consistent skating andchecking.

Gordon, a fine rearguard, is

slowly being worked back into the

line-up after stopping during the

exhibition series. He haddeveloped bursitis — an in-

flanmiation in his Achilles tendon—which still causes some painwhen he skates.

MacLeod received hip and elbowinjuries during the last varsity

football game of the season.Although the hip injury was not

serious, the elbow was so bruised,

fluid collected and had to be

drained.

Langdon, the latest casualty,

suffered a shoulder separation

after crashing into the boards in agame against Georgian November21.

Neither MacLeod nor Langdonare expected back before

Christmas. Theu* services will

certainly be needed as the Hawkshead into a heavy schedule in

January.

When the injured players return

there will be at least two cuts.

Landry didn't specify any players

but he "won't dress anymore than18" bodies.

Hawks continue losing streak

15-7 15-9 15-7

By BRIANMCLAINThe Humber Hawks men's

basketbaU team was humiliated bythe Centennial Colts 76-29,

December 8 at Centennial College.

The Hawks started out well.

They forced the Colts to shoot fromthe outside while Glenn Moth hit

shots from just outside the key.

Humber was tied with Cen-tennial 6-6 seven minutes into the

match.

The Hawks weren't grabbingrebounds under the defensiveboards. This was due to the ab-

"win"

CorrectionsIt was incorrectly reported last

week that the women's basketball

team had lost to Niagara College,

December 1.

The Humber Hawks won that

game 36-28. Their record is six

wins and one loss (not counting last

night's game).The COVENsports department

regrets any inconvenience or

embarrassment caused by this

error.

INSTRUCTIONAL

It was incorrectly reported that

the men's keep fit program will

cost $40. and curling will cost $20.

Actually, the men's keep fit

program will cost $20. for 10

sessions and the curling will cost

$40. for 20 hours.

COVEN regrets any in-

convenience caused by this error.

Hawkstie game

It's not how you play, it's howyou win that counts.

The Humber Hawks logged their

second "win" of the season after it

was ruled that Sheridan College

must forfeit a 5-5 tie game for not

having a second goaltender

dressed.

The game record of November 14

now officially registers as a 5-0 win

for Humber. Goalie Dave Carnell

is credited with a shut-out.

Bob Salvisburg, the Sheridan

coach, is appealing the ruling

claiming his goaltender was held

up by bad weather and arrived too

late to get dressed.

This situation is reminiscent of

the time the football team wascredited with a win after losing a

game, but later had the decision

revoked. It is likely, however, that

the hockey ruling will stand. AnOntario Colleges' Athletic

Association regulation specifically

calls for an automatic forfeiture

should an alternate goalie not to be

present.

sence of Abe Delange, one of

number's strong rebounders.

Centennial scored on three

straight tipins after missing the

original shots but beating Humberto the rebounds.

The Colts led 12-6 halfwaythrough the first half and from this

point on the Hawks could havepacked their bags and headedhome.

The Hawks weren't moving onoffence and, as a result. Centennial

forced 45 turnovers for the game.Centennial scored easily from

both inside and outside the key and

left the court with a 32-9 half time

lead.

In the second half thmgs weren't

any better.

Centennial's 3-2 zone defence

forced the Hawks to the middle of

the court. Humber kept looking for

the mandown the middle, who wascovered, while ignoring the open

men in the corners.

The Hawk's defence collapsed.

Many times throughout the gameCentennial had five men attacking

the Humber basket with two

Hawks defending. The other

Hawks looked on as if they were

spectators.

Centennial moved around the

Hawk defenders at will, increasing

their lead 53-19 with 10 minutes left

in the game.The final buzzer ended the

misery. The Hawks' lack of drive

was clearly shown by the fact they

had only five shots from mside the

key.

Two bright spots amid the gloomwere Gerhard Grosschadl's four

points m only five riiinutes of

playing time and Jim Rothwell's

accurate outside shooting.

A disgusted head coach JohnCameron said the players quit

early in the game."A couple of the players quit

early in the game. There wasn't

any bench strength so we couldn't

do anything about it."

"We didn't have a positive at-

titude. The players have to want to

win," said Cameron. "When they

fast breaked us three of our guys

just watched while two guys tried

to defend. We didn't give 100 per

cent."

The leading Hawk scorers were

Glenn Moth with 9 and Jim Roth-

wel with 8. Centennial's Phil

Reynolds scored 21 points while

Hillar Talve sank 15.
