It provides the final, lowest octave of bass offered by only a handful of the most expensive speakers , . • and by none costing near its price of $153,00. The Pioneer SX-737 AM/FM receiver delivers more than enough clear, undistorted power to make the Advents a delight to listen to in any situation. Its sensitive FM tuner section will bring in all your favourite stations sharply, without hum or noise, To match the value of the large Advents and PiOneer SX-737, we recommend the remarkable B.I.C. 960 programmed belt-drive turntable and the A.D,C. Q-321 magnetic cartridge. The turntable is complete with an attractive, low profile base and hinged, smoked dust cover. Even through the large Advents, you won't hear any rumble and the 960's wow and flutter is in the class of turntables several times its price. The A.D.C. Q-321 comes equipped with an elliptical diamond stylus and tracks at a record saving 1'/2 grams. The total regular selling price of these com- ponents is $1083.75. At that price the sytem is a good value, but we want our good value to be a good buy too; so if you buy the complete system from us, we'll charge you $869, If you have about $869 to spend, we think you can't get a better return on your investment than our Advent, B.I.C., Pioneer system.

Schneider Sound 119 Dundas St., London 679-9811 Chargex and Mastercharge "We Service What We Sell" tj ItN Women starting to take a more active role in sports The mixed junior bandminton team from, South Huron District High School competed in a double elmination tournament with ten other teams in Mitchell April 13 and walked 'away from the tournament with the cham- pionship firmly in hand. The SHDHS team compiled 83 points in the total point series, 20 more then their nearest com- petitor, second place Stratford Central. Points were awarded on a five and three points basis. If, in the opening rounds, a team won, it By FRED YOUNGS Of all the trappings of "male chauvinism", professional sports is the last stronghold that is uniquely male oriented. There has never been a female pitcher in major league baseball; never a female' quarterback in the CFL or NFL; never a professional female goaltender. Women are relegated to amateur sports, or the more "delicate" sports rather than the rougher, body contact sports. The richest women athletes are tennis players, and figure skaters who compete on an equal basis, but other than that, women seem to stay within the realm of Olympic and amateur com- petition, People involved in the organization of athletics in the area are beginning to look at sports and activities for women more seriously, with a possible end goal of equal opportunity for both males and females to enjoy athletic activity. RAP director Jim McKinlay said RAP is taking a "serious look" at women's sports after realizing their "program content was not adequate.""I'm con- cerned about the lack of a women's program. They have been getting the short end of the stick for too damn long," McKinlay said women's basketball has changed over the past few years, becoming more competitive. He added that the softball team started last year was a sign women were capable of competing, and the com- petitive swimming program sponsored by RAP is dominated in the higher levels by females. He qualified his remarks by adding that though there is a change, it has "maybe not come in this community yet," He said arenas are years away from being equalized for both male and female activities. According to McKinlay, the majority of activities at arenas are geared to either male or co-ed activities, with very few if any strictly female sports. EXETER 43' PLAYOFFS AJ K. Edwards 699 7 7 CO D.

Jones 498 2911 Minor hockey programs take the bulk of the time, with figure skating second, McKinlay argues that if male sports are given a certain number of hours, then there should be an equal number of hours set aside for female sports. If ringette, a form of hockey without the bodychecking, is to be provided, then minor hockey programs will have to sacrifice prime ice time. He admits this concept is still years away, but working towards this, and more co-ed sports are respOnsibilities he foresees. "What right have we not to do it?" he questioned. Ruth Durand, RAP chairman, echoed McKinlay's sentiments. "I believe women are more active" she said, "and in the future there will be more of it." She foresees women becoming involved in every phase of sports, from administration to playing, as well as a prevalent feeling amongst females thay they like competition. "RAP realized there hasn't been a whole lot for women, but we are starting in a small way," Examples of the "small way" are programs in tennis, badminton and basketball. She also made innuendoes at the heart of male sports supremacy in Canada: hockey, saying she "wouldn't doubt" a female program, with particular interest from the 14 to 18 years old bracket, She expected it to be less competitive than the male leagues, with little bodychecking, being played more "for the fun of it."She added that girls "don't take it as seriously." Female hockey teams •are presently run in Huron Park, Lucan and from the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology. It nearly became a one night reality in Exeter this year, when a group of 25 to 30 women tried to organize a pick up game. They were cut short by the closing of the arena. One of the local women who tried to organize the game was Mrs. Shirley Pratt, who takes an active role in Exeter Minor hockey by managing the novice team the Waxers. The game was not to be a serious affair , more just to "fool around" said Mrs. Pratt. She was uncertain about the interest amongst women in general for an organized league, but felt that hockey, without heavy checking and an emphasis on recreation over competition might be welcome. It would also be more popular than ringette she added, but as of now "there are no plans." Dave Zyluk, a member of the executive of both the Centennial Soccer league for males and the Independent Soccer league, in- door female soccer, has recently completed a thesis on women in sports. I n his research, he discovered women are interested in the playing of the sport, but are less prone to involvement in the administration end. He suggested it may be due to peer pressure that women want to play but don't want to organize. The interest in forming female leagues he said lies with the younger females, but they are prevented from forming executive bodies because of legalities, specifically their age. He foresees more women playing soccer in the future and Local boy lost The Exeter police were in- volved in a small drama this week when young Paul Lebreche, five, of Exeter failed to appear for classes at Usborne Public School, April 9. The police, notified at about 9:30 a.m., began a search of the downtown Exeter area as well as a house to house search along Sanders Street. The youngster was found late in the afternoon by OPP constable Gary Clark in the Grand Bend area. He had decided to go to Grand Bend to visit his aunt, where he was found. Paul was turned over to his father, Mr. Marcell Lebreche at 4:30 p.m., Friday. The Exeter police were aided in their search by the local Citizen's Band radio club. on higher levels of competition. "There are professional women's leagues in Europe he said, though not on a scale as large as men's. There is also a woman playing in the North American professional league, an ex-Playboy Bunny of the year. Zyluk was unsure if she had made the team because of her ability or for the publicity value of the attention hungry league. He predicted wider female participation in Exeter soccer by women in the future, even on the highest class team, the Cen- tennials, Last year, two females Joanne Vink and Kathy Giffin, played on the under 14 team in the Cen- tennial a team that save for them was male, , Joanne earned a role as a first string right halfback, and Cathy played left halfback. Zyluk, who teaches the two, offered the chance for the girls to play saying there was no ruling against females playing. They were the only two to take up his offer. Both girls said they felt no peer pressure when they were playing, being accepted by the boys as part of the team. Neither is sure if they will be continuing their soccer career this year. Ron Bogart, the head of phys ed at South Huron District High School and coach of the Bantam hockey team, claimed he and his staff run a "physically deman- ding" course for both men and women, which he feels is an equalized course. He added there are no restrictions, and• more im- portantly, the budgets for both sexes are equal.Girls at SHDHS can compete in everything of- fered by the Huron County Board in inter school competition. Bogart added this was a wider scope then offered in many other schools. There is, in Bogart's estimation, a "pretty good tur- nout" of females for sports, more so in the junior grades. But what if a girl, who exhibited obvious ability, tried out for his EMHA minor team? Bogart was momentarily stumped, phrasing his answer carefully, saying there are "no rules to prohibit it. If she's talented enough, Why not?" went On to compete in the tour• nament against other winners. For victories in this class, teams picked up five points. Three South Huron sets com- peted in the 'top class. The girl's double team of Lynne Brooks, and Tuckey, Lynne Mercer and Bandy Parsons, in mixed doubles and Paul and Perry Pooley walked away with top honors for SHDHS, Dave Bogart took the second class for the boys singles and Susan Chapman, in the girl's singles, rounded out the team.
