^Xf». At present Durham
College is the only school in Oshawa that does not have regular fire department super- vised fire drills and the Oshawa department plans to do ’something about it. Fire -preven- tion officer Al Vickers wants ’to improve com- munication between the department and Dur- ham’s administration.

The whole matter came to the depart- ment’s attention when they were summoned to the college on "Wed. Oct. 4. A piece of bread burning in a toaster in the main cafeteria triggered smoke detectors, auto- matically setting -off alarms in the school and at two fire stations. "Schools are all two
station alarms,’’ said platoon chief Ed Smith who was involved in the Durham call. "That means five trucks; three
from the downtown sta- tion and two from the Beatrice _s^ation respond." When the firemen
arrived the alarm had already been re-set by a custodian. ."We, are the only ones who can allow that an alarm be re-set," said Smith. Because of this stu-
dents were returning to the building, getting in the toy of arriving firemen. Many of the students simply , disre- garded the alarm in the first place. "You never know what the situation is, and that’s why you can’t become lazy," said Smith.

the college’s present ’ evacuation system � is
well organized but not heeded by students. "The college adminis-
tration set up ^he evacuation system and it’s a good one," he commented, "What we are going to have to do is go in there and pull the alarm and make sure everyone leaves the school," said Smith, refering to the fire department’s position. "Durham is a public
building and any dis- crepancy in evacuation procedures will be brought to the attention of the Fire Marshal’s nffire."’

McCallum Transport has decided to °take "a Durham student on a - work experience week. Linda Wallace likes it so much that she has decided to become a welder.
Patty Stolks also dis- covered a love for welding and Lynda Dennis decided that electronics was her call- ing. - The decision to enter
so rare an occupation for women was brought about by a program offered at Durham Col- , lege where the women involved try to decide what non-traditional oc- cupation they would like to leam. "INTO is a new
program put on by Durham College in con- junction with the Canada Employment Centre to introduce . women, .^ .tp, han^aa^^^^^^ tions which is any trade or occupation where there are fewer an 40 per cent women working in that area," explained’ Joan Luik, program co- ordinator.
.The individual who is interested in this pro- gram is exposed to all trades and then is required to make a choice of the one that interests them the most. Through the shops
and three week work experience . the women are in a better position to assess themselves and set a goal, then return to the college �for upgrading if required and then into one of the shops , which could be welding, drafting, ma- chine shops and the building trades.
Wallace began her work experience week. at the department of works where she thought she might be interested in mechanics but through a small" introduction to welding she changed her mind and is now looking into a welding course at
the ̂college when she is finished the INTO pro- gram. To locate a prospec-
tive employer for fietd placement they search through the yellow pages wid call local big companies to find some- one who would be willing to accept a. student with no know- ledge in their particular trade. .
*’ Not all of the women want non-traditional oc- cupations and after the eight weeks they may decide they didn’t find any ’that was interesting and they might go back to a traditional type of job," said Luik, "the things that it really does is motivates and gives them confidence. The program is
funded by . the , govern-
ment which pays for the seat at the college and the supplies needed. In addition the students receive, a weekly allow- ^tfnc^-<ihat^(^^ $43 to $109.
"It is difficult, for women to think of going
into non-traditional jobs especially .when all their lives they are’ told that �
they should be nurses or secretaries, the .tradi- tional type of job", said Luik. Out of -14 students in
the program only three are- working in the field they trained in, "some of them are waiting to return for upgrading so they can get on a program," , Luik ex- plained. There are, however,
no men becoming in- volved in the program- such as a man preparing for a secretarial position. But, Luik said there are some men in the nurs- ing and hairdressing courses. The course is for self
supporting women or those not quite sure of what they want to do. For those with Grade 13 who don’t know whether they want to go to university because of the "job-situation, ^ina^W^a ’. non-traditional job is what they are looking for", .said Luik.

The 1978 season of extension courses offered by Durham College began on Oct. 2 with just over 4,000 subject registrations.
"There are more women than men enrolled because of the general interest courses", said Neil Middlestead, assistant registrar for the college, "they are of more interest to women than men."
Middlestead also found that there are more women enrolling in business and credit -courses every year and he attributes this to (he .fact that there are more women becoming interested in business. -

Whittaker’s perfor- mance consisted of Rock and Roll tunes, including Hound Dog; some Ca- lypso songs; British Folk songs, though he does not "profess to be a folk singer"; and several of . his ofd favorites, including the most re- quested, If’s An Illusion.
Atter ,"a short inter- mission, Whittaker re- turned dressed as Don
s Quixote ’to entertain the crowds with The Impos- sible Dream. During ms short absence his backup singers took over. Mike Nuttall sang the Simon and Garfunkel hit, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, while the girls, Janet Butler and Eleanor Keenan harmonized on I ’Believe When I Fall In �Love. Whittaker returned to
give a sample from his latest album. ’ this ’included many- hits such as Sailing(Rod Stewart); Proud Mary(Creedance Clearwater Revival); Whittaker’s favorite, Yesterday(Beatles); Imagine(John Lennon); and High Calypso(John Denver). This set ended with what Whittaker r
called "the last of the ’
great songs", You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling <A Righteous - Brothers hit). �

The 19 girls in Dur- ham’s dental hygene course want to stamp .out trench mouth at Durham College. This was one of the reasons they set up an informa- tion booth in the main foyer la^t week.
Trench moiithj and halotosis are the major causes of ^bad breath. These bacterial infec- tions cause inflammation of the gums. The girls had three displays, .one ^showing how proper nutrition goes together with healthy teeth, the other explained how people should clean their teeth properly and the third display . outlined the role of a dentaF hygenist. ’
"Many people get us mixed up with dental. assistants. Their job is just that -they assist the dentist in his office. We work on’ our own," said one of the students, Linda Lahoda.
"Our role is preventa- tive motivation jmd the maintenance of oral health." added Lydia Bemacki-Rebot. The hygenist works hi her own operative area* or public health, office in co-operation with ’; a dentist. She performs flouride cleanings, .soft tissue exams, x-rays and

Despite chilling temperatures last Sunday, fun and fitness enthusiasts from Mississauga to Port Hope showed up to participate in Durham College’s first annual Turkey Trot. The event held at the college
attracted all ages, shapes and sizes. From the lady with her small baby who walked the three-kilometre course to the gentleman wearing a tee shirt baring his birthdate, January 22, 1904, in the six-kilo- metre route, there were 501 in all who registered, participated and crossed the finish line. One

turkeys, gym shorts and a skate- board. Also donated were din- ner-for-twb passes to Durham Col- lege’s dining lounge and a pair of tickets to , an Oshawa Generals hockey game.
The feature prize draw, a full membership to" the Durham College Sports Complex valued at $160, was after several attempts finally award- ed to Charmaine Oullette of Oshawa. Unfortunately, Charmaine was not
of membership age (18 years and over) and sportingly gave it to her brother, Gerry, a Durham College student.
finishing order they were: Phil Reimer (34:31), Barb Webster (40:52) Morley Davidson ’ (34:41), Latica PhiUips (45:22), Woody Wood (35:40), Jan Arbuckle (46:24). Mc- Callum (35:56), Jane Ashley (46:30).

Just over 15 minutes had passed after Dr. Gordon Wiley, the college’s president, gave the official shot to sfart the trot, when Rob Gardner, coach of the O’Neil Cross Country team crossed the finish line. His official time was 15 minutes and 53 seconds. The first female runner to cross over was Carolyn Variderpoll of Oshawa, at fe:50.
In the ten-kilometre run prizes were awarded to the first six runners for both male and’ female. In
Joe Duarte (36:31), Dale Biddell (48:14), Frank Fitzgerald (36:45) and Elizabeth McLean (52:12).
Foib their overall participation .in the trot and in support of fun and fitness, prizes were drawn at random. Donated by merchants and companies in Durham region these included tee shirts, athletic shoes, gift certificates, gym bags, vitamins,

running but had to give’ it up due to an injury received while boxing. Several years later when he had completely reco- vered, time proved to be of the essence in advan- cing his career in municipal government and he gave up running.
In 1959, bothered by the problems of a bad back and excess weight, he once again decided to start running and excer- cising. In addition, he put himself on a strict diet. At first, it took a
great deal of discipline and "almost starving myself." It took over a year, "but I went from 175 to, at that time, 134." < -
"Aging problems I had corrected themselves. I felt better, worked bet-
ter and could concen- trate much better." While in Australia
four years later, he took a hearing test and found his hearing to be normal. "I no longer had to lip read when a person was talking to me." And much to his surprise, a trip to his optometrist informed him his glasses were now too strong.
In addition /to the physical benefits, Bar- rand also holds four provincial and three national championships in the short distance (200 to 3,000 metres) runs with the exception of a six-mile cross country run. As well, he holds the . Canadian native � record for 400’ metres in his age group of 75 seconds.
Barrand still runs an average of six miles a
’ day but feels that at his age it is too demanding and therefore does not train as seriously. "I’m not going to kill myself at it. I just do as well a’s. I can." Thus his participation
in DurhanT College’s fun and fitness Turkey Trot last Sunday. As well as running the 10 kilometre course, Barrand also acted as honorary chair- man and - donated the trophies .to,the first male ancf female finishers in the run.
Highlighting his in- volvement in the ’Turkey Trot is the memory of a similiar one he ran in 50 years ago: the YMCA Steeplechase/ which was also six miles ’.long. He won that one.
Trailing the winner by less than 14 minutes and having wintered at least three times as many years, Roy Bar- rand crossed the finish line. The run was the 10
kilometre (6.2 miles) course in Durham Col- lege’s Turkey Trot last Sunday in which there were ,
� many others younger than himself. Barrand finished in 47 minutes and 50. seconds. At 68, the former city
clerk for Oshawa, says, ."I feel better now than I did when I was 50." And 50 is an under- statement. The man ̂is in excellent physical condition,and looks it.

Letter To The Editor
A Beef Over , Dear Editor,
In the . 70’s all has changed. Universities arte suddenly ’finding themselves in a dilemma. Enrolment has decreased 25 per cent in undergraduate full-time programs. Community Colleges on the . other hand are facing booming enrolment, especially in first year programs.

Job aids are avai aide Job hunting faces all people at
some point in their life. It’s mainly a matter of when and how to look for a job. *
If you are a student graduating from a secondary or post-secondary institution, career counselors try to lessen your fear by offering advice, ranging from how to write a resume or covering letter to filling out a job application. Durham College offers
features guidance on how to find a Job. The placement office at the college
also issues a placement folder to graduates. ".. This folder contains valuable information on how, students can find that first job or help themselves in employment negotia- tions. The folder also gives advice on what an employer is looking for in an interview, and lists 50 common

Students looking for information on companies, ^yhether it be background information or addresses of the company, should visit the placement office and look in the career library. Names of personnel managers can also be located here. Rnding a first job or any job at

What can’ l^e done to get student involvement up <again? ’ Where are. those other two hundred students, that signed^up a month ago? Why aren’t they interested any more? Maybe it’s because baseball is an outside
activity that has killed the spirit. Or maybe Pete Blakely, SAA president, is, right when he says that the students are just too lazy to walk to the ball diamonds. ’
Well, here’s hoping the spirit increases for the inside activities like volleyball and basketball. . If it doesn’t we may find that intramural activities will be a thing of the past. What would happen if. our varsity teams

Generals looking good Oshawa has a competitor for the Major
Junior A hockey Memorial Cup - an extremely good one. The Oshawa Generals are finally on the winning track.
After the degradation they suffered two seasons ago by winning only 5 of their 66 games they started the long climb out of the cellar fast year You could sense the optimism the team
members felt when they finished fourth in the Leydon division and headed for the playoffs. Unfortunately they were defeated by Peterborough in the first round. But, it was a vast improvement over the sixth place finish of the season before. Softball fizzles

But suddenly everything started to fizzle out. Three quarters of the games scheduled ’

resume writing and rill- ing out job application forms. The students are also taught how to write a covering letter for resumes and, proper interviewing techniques.
Learning how to use the career library in the placement office is also encouraged by Evans. "A higher unemploy-

A Craft that has been traced back to the Canadian Indian is being offered as one of Durham College’s extension programs. �
� The course is called Apple Dollies and is being taught by an area housewife, Shiela "Weatherall, who
8 has. in the past, sold some of her work to visitors from as far away as England.
It is a 12-hour course that is held on Wednesday evenings and includes the complete construction of the doll from the carving of a mixture of salt and lemon juice to preserve them. The bodies are made from pieces of wire and scrap materials.
Mrs. ; WeatheralTs son started .doing this a few years ago out of
^
interest and she picked it up from helping him. .
�
, "When my friends saw some of
the dolls I made they said that they would like to learn and suggested
�
that I teach the craft, so, I applied to the college", said Weatherall.
^ The class consists of about thirty women and it filled up very quickly according , to Neil Middlestead, assistant registrar for the college.
There, are no’men enrolled as yet in the course but says Mrs. Weatherall, "there are men that do this type of thing." , "The craft seems to be spreading
more and more", said Weatherall, "hopefully, it will soon be on par with knitting and crocheting."

these problems is a question they desperate- ly need to answer before they enter their two games this Weekend, To ’ advance to the OCAA finals the team must win all three of
