Trent strike continues
BY TIM PARADIS

Trent’8 strike continues aa administration and faculty have broken off talks.
"Both parties are saying they are prepared to continue to talk, but there are currently no arrangements in place to resume
negotiations," said John Hillman, finance

(TUFA), "We are hoping they will take
place as soon as possible."
All Trent classes at Durham and Trent
have been cancelled since the strike began
on
Nov. 18.
John Syrett, acting dean and a member
of the university’s negotiating team, was
disappointed with the strike.
"In an environment of unprecedented
funding cuts and uncertainty about future
funding, we believe our offer is eminently
fair."
Trent professors are paid less than faculty at other universities and they want to
be paid the same. The university has indicated that it is not prepared to let settlements at other institutions, with different

defected to Canada from troubled Cuba. He
could barely speak any English, but prospered as an athlete and a student under the
tutelage of Durham’s ESL program.
Duquesne had two great years dominating the hardwood for the Lords. During the
1995-96 season he averaged 22.6 points per
game, enough to crown him the league’s
leading scorer. He was also named OCAA
all-star and scored a record 42 points at the
1996 all-star game. He was a CCAA allCanadian and was named DC’s male athlete of the year.
After finishing his second season at
Durham, Duquesne signed a contract to
play professional basketball in Australia.
Duquesne played a full season with the
Rockingham Flames and enjoyed a lot of
success. But now his season is over there
and he’s come back to the land that he calls
"home".
"Augusto is a very nice young man, and
very coachable," said Babcock. "Personally,
I’d like to have him back."
Babcock said there is a chance that
Duquesne can still enrol, the earliest date
being yesterday (Monday, Nov. 25). That is
also the day Duquesne would be eligible to
suit up for the Lords. That means he could
play as early as today (Tuesday), at home
against Mohawk.
The basketball team has a 10-3 exhibition record and a 1-0 league record. If
Duquesne makes the decision to play at
Durham, the already powerful Lords have a
legitimate shot atwinning the OCAA championships and the CCAA crown.
Kerry Vinson, head coach for the basketball, team doesn’t like to make predictions.
He did say he thinks the team has a legitimate claim to the national. title with or
without Duquesne, provided the team stays
healthy and injury free.

Pro-choice group wants abortion pill

RU 486 was recently approved in the United States.
A young tired-looking girl sits in the corner of the doctor’s office looking helpless. She is reading a magazine
but can’t concentrate and looks up every time there is
movement in the office. She is thinking about the party
last weekend. However, she is not thinking about how
much she drank or who was wearing what. She is
remembering drunken groping in the back bedroom.
The group is still hoping it will come to Canada,
Gilbert said.
CARAL believes that abortion should be seen as a
matter of health. No woman should face criminal
charges for making a decision that benefits her mental or
physical health.
Less than one third of all hospitals in Canada offer
abortion services. For example there are no abortion services in Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland’s only
clinic is private, so women without sufficient income cannot always afford this service.
In P.E.I., the provincial government is refusing to
have any public or private clinics put in place, Gilbert
said. That is why Dr. Morgentaler is taking the issue to
the federal government.
CARAL was called Canadian Association for the
Repeal of the Abortion Law when it was formed in 1974
by a group of citizens who successfully fought to have
abortion removed from the Criminal Code, CARAL also
tried to educate Canadians about the abortion issue so
that Dr. Henry Morgentaler’s fight to increase access to
abortion outside of hospitals would be met with a sympathetic and informed public.
CARAL is the only pro-choice organization working
full time through public education and political action to
keep abortion legal and accessible to all women. Their
main concern is a woman’s freedom of choice.
The group has approximately 18,000 individual mem-

She thinks she might-be pregnant.
If the Canadian Abortion Rights Action League is successful, Canadian women like this will eventually have
access to an abortion pill, instead of having to wait several weoka for a more intrusive therapeutic abortion.
CARAL is currently in the process of gaining permission for Canadian tests ofRU 486, an abortion pill developed in France that is already available to women in
France, Britain and Sweden. This pill is an alternative
to the current method of abortion which allows earlier
termination and could potentially be less costly to the
health care system as well as provide more privacy for
doctors and patients.
’The pills are very closely monitored, in fact each pill
is numbered", said Marcy Gilbert, executive director of
CARAL’s Toronto office.
Canadain approval has been slow because the pharmaceutical company is afraid of backlash from the antiabortionists. The company is so afraid, they will not
bers and 300 group members.
CARAL is run almost entirely by volunteers and
receives no government funding. Funds are raised
through private donations.
"These women give up a great many hours for a good
cause", said Marcy Gilbert, executive director of
CARAL’s Toronto office.
Among CARAL’s activities are: providing information
and being spokespeople for the media, supporting physicians who provide abortion services, fighting government bills trying to ban or criminalize abortion and acting as a liason with other groups, including religious,
health and women’s labor, to improve access to abortion.
The organization also produces and distributes a
newsletter three times a year, the Pro-Choice News.
According to CARAL’s newsletter, before the Supreme
Court of Canada struck down the old abortion law, getting an abortion was extremely difficult if not impossible. The old law prohibited abortion unless the woman’s
health or life was endangered by the pregnancy. A
three-person therapeutic abortion committee had to
approve the abortion, which had to be preformed at an
approved or accredited hospital. In 1991, the justices of
the Supreme Court stated that the law was contrary to
the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and violated a woman’s right to security of person.
As a result of this decision, abortion ia now a private
matter between the woman and her doctor.

Mike Harris has done it again. His December plan is to
amalgamate all the cities in the Metro .Toronto Region. It
would eliminate the cities of York, East York, North York,
Etobicoke, Toronto, Scarborough, leaving one megacity of
over two million.
Some mayors say it would cost the people and their communities. East York Mayor Michael Prue told the Toronto
Star that residents can presently get through to municipal
government anytime they want to voice concerns. That will
change if municipalities are eliminated.
In fact small-town municipal concerns may never get
taken care of at all, if the councillors are halfway across the
city attending to other concerns. They may concentrate on
the larger communities they are responsible for in order to
assure votes for the next election. These councillors may
have to stretch themselves too thin to cover their area.
Under the plan for the megacity there would be be one
Mayor instead of the current six, and 44 elected councillors
and one Metro council.
Tbronto Mayor Barbara Hall says that there is no evidence that amalgamation will save any money. In fact she
says there is evidence that Metro services cost more than
local services.
Amalgamation is complete in the Halifax region. With a
much smaller population and area base involved, it’s a
smaller project. Despite that, police are on the verge of
striking and new by-laws for store owners are finding the
new laws unfair.
Decreasing the provincial deficit is an excellent idea, but
at what cost to the people who have to live here?
Millions of dollars have been cut from the budgets of
health care, education, childcare and employment programs. Added to that my be the eventual loss of whole
school boards and municipal governments It seems the people have less power to change things in their community or
their world.
Government is supposed to be there for the people, to
protect their rights and make their lives better, through
services. But Mike Harris makes all the decisions on his
own without any regard for the people he is supposed to
represent. His only concern is the bottom line.
Will the quality of services deteriorate because people
can’t knock on a councillors door to air genuine needs and
concerns?
When election time rolls around the books may be balanced and Harris may be out. We may be able to start

Journalist discovers the kid inside at the Happiest Place on Earth
So here I was at Walt Disney World’s
25th anniversary celebration asking
myself, "Why am I here?" especially at a
celebration which will last for 16
months. After all, I was never a big fan
of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Winnie
the Pooh and most of the other Disney
characters.
My girlfriend and I had decided to
visit Orlando, Florida for two rea- _
sons. One, because my boyfriend
(Keith) works with Walt Disney as
an intern with their engineering college program. And two because neither of us had been to Florida.
We both thought this would be the
perfect opportunity to see what all
the hoop-la was about.

Natural remedy gains popularity
Home medicines, herbs, vitamins and minerals to treat patients

"The natural healing force
within each one of us is the
greatest force in getting well."
Hippocrates
Traditional,
naturalistic
remedies are gaining popularity
as more people turn to naturopathic doctors instead of general
practitioners.
"In areas such as Germany
and France there are a lot of
medical doctors, trained medically, that are doing alternative
medicine, using homeopahic
medicines, herbs, vitamins, and
minerals to treat patients," said
Dr. John Hawrylak. "It’s also
going through the states and
through parts of Canada."
Certified naturopathic doctors
say they restore balance between
the physical and mental person.
Traditionally a doctor might
investigate
reasons
for
headaches using brain scans,
urine tests and blood work, and
find nothing.
The pain killer ho prescribes
provides temporary relief for the
patient, but the cause of the
headache remains, and the pain
is likely to return.
Naturopaths, on the other
hand, see symptoms as the body
signalling improper functioning
and poor lifestyle choices.
Rather than treating the
symptom, naturopatha treat the
underlying cause of the disease.
Blood, urine, and saliva tests
are used in naturopathic diagno-

Although properly diagnosed
and treated, Schilo said "it’s a

Although more people are
turning to alternative medicine
for treatment, naturalistic remedies are complementary to conventional medicine.
"I’d never tell anyone to have
me replace the family doctor,"
said Dr. Hawrylak. ’There are a
lot of injuries or emergencies
that they may have that we’re
not able to treat."
Naturopaths are trained to
recognize conditions which
require conventional medical
treatment. Because they can’t
treat fractures, reset bones, give
stitches, or cure infectious diseases, those patients are
referred to appropriate practitioners, Hawrylak said.

A spiritual revolution is thriving in Canada
Chronicle staff____
If you haven’t prepared yourself then now is the time,
because the spiritual revolution
is alive and picking up momentum.
There was a 26% larger
turnout this year than in other
years, said event organizer
Ginger Ella, and psychics believe
there is a good reason for this.
They say that a new age of
enlightenment is reaching more
people in a way that it didn’t in
the past.
"People are starting to believe
in the domino effect," says
Christine a psychic from
London, Ontario, who goes by
her first name only.
’Thai when they do something in life there is a reaction or
consequence.
"People want to go beyond
their past limitations and negatives," she says. "But they need a
guide in order to break free and
evolve."
The psychic expo held at the

exhibitors from Canada and the

Tho torm psychic encompass-
Each has their own specializations and their own reasons for
becoming practising psychics,
Most of them know of their
abilities from earliest childhood.
Joan McGregor, a psychic from
Port Hope, had the ability for
years but tried to suppress it.
"I’ve been psychic since about
1954, but I tried to always push
the visions aside because it wasn’t talked about then. It wasn’t
until 1976 when a school friend
of my sons was kidnapped, that I
had to face reality. I picked up
information about hia whereabouts but didn’t use the information; they could have found
him an hour earlier and as it
turns out he could have died
from exposure."
Christine, tells a similar story
about information she couldn’t
ignore.
"When I was eight I predicted
that my older sister, who was 12,
and had a brain tumor, would
die and come back. That’s what
happened; she died on the operating table for almost a minute
and then they recessitiated her
and she took a different path."
They talked about more than
their beginnings; they also spoke
about what they do with those
abilities.
The typical readings we hear
about are tarot card readings,
palm reading or a vision of the
future from a crystal ball. But
today psychics practise other
abilities too, like psychometry.
AB psychic Alex Hall explains
"It’s the ability to sense vibrations from
the metal or stones of

says.
"I tape .everything and give
that to the customer when the
session is finished," she says.
Psychics also practise stress
elimination through Reiki, and
therapeutic touch such as hand
redexology,
According to Jan SweenyRemington, "roflexology, or massaging certain points in the
hands, stimulates tension
release, and promotes physical
and emotional healing."
The hands on experience
assists the organ to release toxins built up in the tissue, says
Remington.
Reiki is similar. ’It’s the laying on of hands to relax the body

wears next to their skin."
From this Hall can receive
information on family, health,
the future, likes and dislikes.
Regardless of the item used it
must be of significant personal
value, in order to get strong
vibrations, says Hall.
Ilianna, a psychic from
Mississauga, also practises psy-
chometry.
"When my girls were in grade
school years ago I would tell
them, if any of their friends had
problems to bring home a ring or
something belonging to them

the mother’s ring and the
father’s watch," she says.
Another practice that’s gaining popularity is past life regression.
Christine, had a smooth,
round, stone with a curled fossil
imbedded in the centre.
"I use the rock for past life
regression," she says.
"I tell the person to rub the
stone; then I’ll take the stone
with their energy in it and tell
them what I see and how it
affects their present day life.
"Some people will make the
same choices and mistakes over
oa’ain without knowing why.
This helps explain it," says
Christine.
Ilianna also does past life
regression.
"I will make sure that person
is sitting comfortably. I then
hypnotize them to help them
relax and I regress them back.
"It should provide deep relaxation and harmony within the
body, mind and spirit. It provides balance and stress’
release," she says.
Acupuncturist Angela Mah’s
purpose is also to relieve stress
and pain from key areas of the
body.
"Acupuncture has many treatments, like back pain, menstrual
problems, stress, insomnia and
and vertigo, by invigorating
blood circulation," says Mah.
"But in recent years it’s

No privacy on the net Body Shop fights
BY MIKE MILLS
Chronicle staff
If you’ve sent e-mail or anything on the
Internet lately you should be aware of the fact
tics gathered by Onet concerning what types of
information (i.e. websites) are being accessed on
the Internet from the school.
Both Mather and Philips pointed out that
there are no existing laws in Canada to deter
the interception or accessing of information.
One of the only systems available today for
securing the users’ information is called encryption. It’s a special way of encoding the information sent via the web so that only the receiver
can obtain the contents.
A group called the Internet Privacy Coalition
has been formed on the Internet to promote privacy. They believe this can be accomplished
through widespread availability of strong

in safe hands at all.
Internet privacy isn’t something that gets
mentioned in the commercials for America
Online and often gets overshadowed by problems like pornography on the web. So is there
any privacy at all for Internet users?
"Absolutely none. It is essentially a public
service for anyone to use," said Bruce Philips,
Canada’s federal privacy commissioner.
"There’s some interesting issues involved as
it’s being used for a lot of commercial traffic as encryption.

Cosmetic
companies are
being urged to
stop testing
their products
on animals
BY ELIZABETH
SCHILLINGS
Chronicle staff
The Body Shop Canada,
renowned for its commitment to
bettering the environment, is
challenging cosmetic companies
to stop testing their products
(or product ingredients) on animals.
Following an Angua Reid
poll conducted in June 1996,
The Body Shop presented some
surprising statistics: 77 per
cent of Canadians oppose animal testing for cosmetics purposes. Ninety per cent believe
that, should alternative (non~lunin<tlX"tcStB~"provo--»«»fi»;~<«(»B-..
metic companies should use
them.
luAuguat, the
campaign (T-
shirts bearing the "Against
Animal Testing" logo filled
stores across the country) was
launched country-wide, to raise
awareness about the issue of
testing cosmetics on animals.
Although campaign is long
over, the Body Shop still stocks
the T-shirts along with other
environmental and animal-safe
products.
"We know that young people
are very passionate about this
issue," Margot Franssen, president of Body Shop Canada, said
in a press release. "We will see
real change in the cosmetics
industry if youth make a conscious decision to use their purchasing power to call for a ban
on animal testing for cosmetic
purposes."
The Body Shop’s involvement also includes The Body
Shop Against Animal Testing
Fund financed by the sale of
the T-shirta. The fund will provide grants to companies or
individuals working on alternative testing.
The company has taken the
animal testing issue to heart.
Its slogan, "Against Animal
Testing for Cosmestic Purposes
Prove It" has instead become
an action.
The Body Shop has a rule
that says it "will not purchase
any ingredient that has been
tested or retested on animals by
its supplier since Dec. 31,
1990." Suppliers for The Body
Shop must confirm in writing
every six months that the
ingredients they’re supplying
comply with the rule.

aren’t tested on animals.
"Ask questions. Discover the

As for the T-shirts, for

exactly alike; something is going to get
left out or overlooked."
Despite their success neither will be
pursuing any new writing projects in the
near future. "We can’t develop another
project with any overlapping areas and
take it to another publisher because that
would be a conflict of interest," says Pat.
When asked how they feel about the
book’s success, Pat smiles and says, "The
first year it came out in the states it was
tied for number one on the best seller
list as a business text."
The book is being used in universities
and colleges across Canada, including
Durham College’s business and legal
administration courses, says Pat.
Both women are very modest about
their success.
Kathy pauses for a moment. "It’s certainly a sense of accomplishment, but it
was a learning experience as well, and a
lot of hard work."
And what does the future hold for
these two associates and friends?
They are now team-teaching a business course together, along with regular
course teaching, and are under contract
to do the second Canadian edition of the
text.
Their friendship has battled out the
strain of working long hours on an
important but rewarding project. "We
still talk," says Pat, smiling.

Although the wealth of tunes

Having been a part of the
Canadian music scene for almost
a decade now Vince said he
believes "the band fits in really
well."
"There’s a huge amount of
bands that are just out there

selling out," Vince said.
The Treeo are well known for
playing charitable gigs that raise
money for good causes, like the

Why should any band who
has their dog writing songs and
running their independent

Because the Leslie Spit Treeo
has been rockin* the Canadian
music scene for about 9 years
and with their new double cd

these canucks aren’t fooling
around.
Back in 1990 the band
received the Juno award for
Canada’s most promising band.
The two core members of the
band, Laura Hubert and Pat
Lagner, have been keeping the
treeo running through four
albums now. The last two
albums (including Cookies,)
have been released independently.
One of their current drummers, Vince Montagano, who’s
been with the band for about two
years, said they were having
some distribution problems wU.h

the release of their second
album, Book of Rejection.

not being in control at that

them from metal rock to the
alternative scene. They have
toured as opening acts for
Metallica, 311, Marilyn Manson
KMFDM and Ozzy Osbourne
and now they have other bands
opening their shows. But suci cess has not come easy for this
young band. They’ve had to play
many small clubs to build fan
recognition. Fans enjoy the hip
hop, influenced hard sounds that
Korn is known for.
The group recently hosted a
press conference at the
Guvernment nightclub in
Toronto to promote their new
album, Life Is Peachy. Korn consists of Jonathan Davis on

song, Shawn Olsen, was written
as a tribute to their friend. "He
used to work with us and he was
the first jock that we ever liked
because we hate jocks," Head
said. ’The song is about our
friendship." Jonathan Davis
also wrote a song about Mr.
Rogers. "Back in the days when
I was a speed freak, I used to
watch Mr. Rogers and it was
scary. He was a freaky old man.
When I took speed for like five or
six days I would start to trip out
and I became obsessed with Mr.
Rogers. It took me about three
months to write that song,"
Davia said.
Members of Korn like to wear
a lot ofAdidas clothing and even
wrote a song called A.D.I.D.A.S.
Unfortunately they are not on
the Adidas payroll yet, but they
all agree that they would like to
be. Their clothing style of baggy
pants, T-shirts and bomber jackets in dark colors, cornea from
their musical influences.
This band has a lot of web
sites including one called Korn
on the Cob. In July they were
the first band to conduct an
interactive radio broadcast on
the internet. Fans could call a 1800 number to ask the band
questions.
They are also interested in
underground, unreleased recordings such as the Dust Brothers
mixes of their songs. "We get the
songs from Eastern Europe,"
Head said. They have no plans
to officially release these mixes
on an album.
Korn has gone back to working with their producer, Roas
Robinson, on this new album.
"He started out Korn, he thinks
exactly like us," Munky said.
This young band is professional
but likes to have fim too.
The only problem that Kom
have run into with their albums
is that parents do not approve of
the lyrics. "The other night I
was talking to my mom on the
phone and she said that if I didn’t cuss so much then they would
play my songs on the radio,"
Head said and laughed.
Jonathan Davis is the only
father in the band and finds it
hard to keep in touch with his
little boy. He said that he would
like to see more of his child but
the success of Korn has to come
first.
The band has toured Europe,
performing at both concerts and
festivals. "We enjoy doing festivals," the Munky said. ’The only
problem we have with doing
European festivals is that a lot of
people do not speak English and
it is hard to communicate with
them." While they have sold two
gold records in New Zealand,
they do not have plans to tour
there as of yet.
Korn is currently touring with
heavy hip hop bands opening for
them such as Pharsyde and the
Urge. Their first tour was with
the hip hop group. Black Sheep.
Their music is highly hip hop
influenced with a hard rock side.
The worst place the band has
ever played was Bob Moore’s
Repair Shop in Augusta Georgia.
"We had to at in the woods
because there were no toilets.
They gave you toilet paper and
told you to go outside. They had
this big Pit Bull chained up outside for security," Davis said.
"Besides that show, every show
on the Megadeath tour was outside in the summer and that was
hot," Fieldy said.
The future of Korn is doing
what they do best and that is
touring and hanging out.
Unfortunately their concert at
the Warehouse on Nov. 6, 1996
was cancelled because the drummer hurt a bone in his hand.
The rescheduelled date is March
27 1997.

Kiss The Midget’s debut
album, Behave, will be this
band’s breakthrough, not
its Kiss of Death.
Heal Yourself is the first
single to be released from
Behave. Heal Yourself is
good song that has a high
tempo and great lyrics, but
Feel and Bittersurf are the
best songs on the album
because they’re both more
low tempo and soft. While
listening to Kiss The
Midget each song sounds
like a different band. For
instance, Feel sounds like a
Hootie and The Blowfish
song, while Bittersurf
sounds like Tesla. Behave
has the quality and sound
to propel the band into the
popular music scene with
the likes of bands Live and
Bush X.
Kiss The Midget is mainly a three-piece band, featuring Brent Bedford
(vocals), Tyrone Jansz (guitar) and Peter Lloyd
(drums). Also appearing on
the album is Jesse Taylor
(bass).
If you’re into indie
music, you’ll want to get
Behave by Kiss The
Midgets. The band hopes to
be the biggest indie band to
ever come out of Canada.

The meaning of life

_
Feeling a little restless? Do
you feel that your life has more
meaning but for some reason
you just can’t seem to grasp the
mysterious truths that lay hidden in your existence?
After you read James
Reddeld’s The Celestine
Prophecy, the unanswered
questions become clear and
understandable. The book’s
plot and easy-to-follow writing,
style help the reader reach a
deeper understanding of life.
The Celestine Prophecy is
an adventure story with charactera, cub-plots, drama, and
romance. The point of the book
is to take the reader on a journey through the rain forests of
Peru in search of an ancient
Manuscript, which defines the
nine new insights of life.
In Peru, the ancient
Manuscript has resurfaced and
leads the author/main character on a mystical journey
throughout the country in
search of answers for the
meaning of life.
The book is written in a
style BO real and vivid that I
would watch the nightly newa
hoping to hear some new evidence about the Manuscript.
The book is hard to put
down. The adventure, murder, romance, intrigue, politics,
religion and humor are auch a
wonderful mosaic of topics,
they force the reader to continue. After learninff about each
new insight, ;it; is examined level ofconsciousness.

Music clubs’ popularity growing It’s party
time with
BY PAUL TRAINOR
Chronicle staff
Music clubs like BMG and
Columbia House are becoming
a popular way for music lovers
to buy Compact Discs.
Mike Warlow, 22, became a
member of Columbia House
when
he
was
19.
"I couldn’t refuse the 11 CD’s
for a penny," he said of
Columbia House’s enrolment
deal.
An additional charge of
$1.85 for shipping and handling is added to the price of
enrolment. You then need to
buy seven CDs over the next
three years. First-time members may also be charged a $2
membership fee.
Haijinder Atwal, Executive
President
and
General
Manager of Columbia House
said new members are able to
rethink their membership. If
they receive their merchandise,
but decide they don’t want to be
a member, they can cancel.
However, over the last couple of years music clubs have
increased their share of the
record market to between 25 or
30 per cent, from 12 per cent.
Columbia House has been
operating in Canada for 41
years. They have over a million
|’1>

.|>in,
members between the ages of
15 and 45.
On the other hand, BMG
music service has been operating in Canada for less than two
years.
Amanda Wood 18, joined
BMG last year.
"I joined BMG because I got
11 CDs and I only had to buy
one to fulfil my membership,"
said Wood.
Bill Remsammy, customer
relations, said BMG offers different deals for first-time members. The most popular deal is
the one Wood received.
BMG’s enrolment involves
selecting seven CD’s for only
the price of shipping and handling on each CD. After you
receive them, you have one
year to buy one CD at the regular club price, which ranges
from $15.98 to $18.98. Once
you buy your one CD, you’ll
receive a certificate to get an
additional three CDs for only
the price of shipping and handling.
"In most cases you’ll get a
contract," said Remsammy.
"The only reason you may not is
if there is something wrong
with your address."
Columbia
House does
reserve the right to reject any
application.
"If we had a bad experience
with somebody who did not
comply with the terms of the
membership then we do not
wish to do business with that
person again," Atwal said.
Every three weeks BMG and
Columbia House send out a
club catalogue and a reply card
to their members.
’The catalogue will list all
our newest feature selections
and also a number of selections
we have in the club,"
Remsammy said. "Depending
on your musical interests your
catalogue will vary. We carry
everything from metal, alternative, hip hop to classical."
Members have a month to
send the reply card back to
their music club. In some cases
members lose or forget to send
their card, and they are automatically sent the selection of
the month at the regular club
price.
"I have received the selection
of the month a couple of times
because I forgot to send the
reply cards," Warlow said.
After you have fulfilled your
obligation to the music club,
you have the option of either
staying in the club or cancelling
your membership. If you cancel, you can rejoin either club
at a later date.
"I have finished my membership once," said Warlow. ’This
is my second time with
Columbia House."
Columbia House has no
objections to allowing former
club members to rejoin.
BMG allows members who
finish their membership to
rejoin their club any time.
Remsammy thinks the benefits
are better if you remain in the
club after your obligation is
completed rather than cancelling.
"You get better deals as
opposed to a large quantity at
the
said
beginning,"
Remsammy. ’The longer you
stay in the club the better the
deals."
Although music clubs are
becoming more popular, people
still go to record stores to buy
CDs.
"Many record buyers get to
know about the music by the
club catalogues," said Atwal.
’Then they go to the record
stores and buy it."
One of the reasons music
clubs are becoming more popular with music buyers is that
they have shop-at-home convenience. Atwal believes that the
consumers’ need to buy their
music immediately will keep
music stores in business.
Euro tracks
BY DARKEN PETHICK
Chronicle staff
Do you like listening to new
names and upbeat music? Then
Club Euro Volume 3 is something you’ll want for your CD collection.
Headlining the great list of
songs is No Mercy’s Where Do
You Go. This has been a dance
hit in the clubs for months. This
song, although seven minutes
long, changes tempo which make
the lyrics even more meaningful
to the listener. This band is just
starting to make a name for
itself and can only be heard on
this CD right now.
Kissing Like A Virgin, by
Pearl, and a remake of Stacey
Q’s, Two of Hearts, by Kim Esty,
also caught my interest. Others
on the CD include Candy Club,
Soultans, Ruback, First Base, DLux and a lot more. All the
songs have extended that make
them even more enjoyable.
This CD would be great at
parties and with people who
enjoy going out to the clubs and
dancing. People will not be disappointed and should add Euro
Club Volume 3 to their
Christmas list.

Durham coach leads Lords into battle
BY GWEN RAMLAL
Chronicle staff
"The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray."
This is the quote that head coach of the Durham Lords
basketball team Kerry Vinson bases his life on.
The quote comes from Scottish poet Robert Burns.
"You can make all kinds of illustrious and complicated
plans as to what to do with your work and your life. In
actual fact you have no more control over what happens
than a mouse and you can’t delude yourself into believing; there are no guarantees in life," Vinson explained.
After suffering a heart attack last summer, Vinson has
made some significant changes to his life.
"I’m a more mellow person," Vinson said. "I try to handle things a lot differently, as opposed to handling things
in an aggressive manner."
Known for his aggressive stylo of coaching, the life
’ changing experience has caused him to make changes to
; his life, including the way he coaches the Lords basketball team.
,
"I’m not as aggressive a coach anymore," Vinson said.
Vinson’s players have also seen a change in his coaching style.
"I think his aggressive coaching style has toned down
and he finds other ways to get the team concept across to
his players, which is still just as effective," said Sean
Stewart, a sophomore point guard.
"I think he is calmer," said Thomas Cory, a returning
player from last year’s squad. "He wants the best for his
players at all times."
’
Last season, before tlie Lords were to play in the final
8, Vinson was rushed to the hospital for emergency
surgery. Because the team had had such a great season
he hesitated until it was almost too late.
"I layed in the hospital for 12 hours before I signed the
consent form to do the surgery, and the reason I didn’t
sign the consent form was because I had put a lot of work
into getting the team to the point that they were at,"
Vinson explained. "I felt that they were at a point where
they could do very well in the play-offs and I didn’t want
to see all that work go up in smoke." It wasn’t an easy
,
decision, but Vinson finally decided to sign the forms
when the physician explained to him that it was do or die.
The team eventually went on to lose the game against
Fanshawe College which ended
their season.
__________ _
"I had all these plans for what
the team was going to do,"
Vinson said. "It was kind of a
year’s worth cf work gone down
the drain but that’s life, and you
have to bounce back and you
can’t let things get you down."
Which is exactly what he has
done.
Born in New Orleans, Vinson
grew up during a difficult time
in United States history. Being
in the far South, Louisiana was
filled with tensions and violence.
Kerry vinson
"I looked up to John F.
Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
because I thought that they were doing some very significant things for the world at the time," Vinson said.
Vinson played professional basketball as a point guard
for five years in Europe.
"I started playing basketball pretty late," Vinson said.
"I started when I was 14. The reason for this was because
where I’m from (New Orleans, Louisiana) football was
the big sport."
Vinson’s basketball career was short lived though.
’The last year I played basketball for a living, I hurt
my knee."
He soon made the natural transition to coaching in
1980.
"Playing basketball is fun, coaching basketball is hard
work," Vinson said. "I got into coaching simply because I
thought it was the next step, but I never had any coaching goals and I could have very easily right then (after
Europe) quit basketball and never seen another game
and been satisfied with what I had accomplished."
Dave Stewart, Athletic director at the time, persuaded
Vinson to leave Canadore College to come and coach at
Durham. Durham Lords basketball fans are happy he
made the switch.
At the present time, Vinson’s coaching record stands
at an impressive 85-29. Though he has been a successful
coach, this is not his main goal.
"I don’t have a burning desire to be a successful coach,"
Vinson said. "As long as I think the people that I’m working with are getting something out of it, then I feel okay."
"I think Kerry is a good coach because ho has experience from playing the game, which helps him to understand his players better," Stewart said.
Vinson tries to keep his personal life and his coaching
career separate, but it doesn’t always work.
"When I’m out there coaching a game, my number one
focus is on winning that game, but when I’m through and
that game is over, there are a lot of other things in life
that are important," Vinson said.
He would rather keep a low profile and have his players receive all the attention and publicity.
Coach Vinson is happy about this season’s squad.
’This team has more depth and it is a much stronger
team," he said. "I feel that anybody on the team can do
the job at any time."
Vinson is happy with his assistant coach.
"I think that the success of us being 10-0 is due to two
things," Vinson said. ’The players and my assistant
coach Bob Marsh who is a really hard worker. I’ve had
lots of assistant coaches over the years and I’ve never had
one that worked aa hard as Bob Marsh."
Vinson enjoys coaching at Durham.
"I must like Durham because I’m still here."
Though he enjoys coaching the Lords, he would like to
break away from coaching in the near future.
"I just don’t picture myself coaching basketball five
years from now," Vinson said. "Then again life is unpredictable and it’s always full of surprises; some good, some
bad."
"My own personal focus right now is just looking to get
through tomorrow," Vinson saiu.
