HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1976-05-13, Page 3Editorial II The GUardian has been in existence for many years. The material introduced through the school newspaper has varied from editor to editor and from staff writers to staff writers. Consequently this year there has been some changes in style and content of the paper. But whether these changes have been successful is a question worth pursuing. For a school newspaper to be a total success the student body must be happy with it. A recent study by the schools journalism class for the Guardian proves otherwise. "Most of the students of SHDHS agree that the school needs a school newpaper" reported one individual. But these same people do not believe the Guardian is fulfilling their needs as students at South Huron. Another individual reported "The most common complaint was that the Guardian has been too critical of students, events and school life in general." The student body was asked what they wanted in a school newspaper. Many students were not sure but suggestions ranged from club reports, creative literature, announcements, inter- views, cartoons. jokes to more developed coverage on sports and special events. Students were asked if they had ever contributed to the Guar- dian or ever wished to contribute. A very small percentage of peo- ple answered either question. The most common reason/excuse for not contributing was that students felt they were incapable of writing an article for publication. Many people were appalled at the thought of signing their articles. Some students said they felt inferior to senior students and were afraid of being cut down for what they wrote. Many students were not sure of who to go to with what they had written. (It should be noted that there is a box in the office for Guardian contributions. Names will be withheld from articles upon request.) • With little participation and contributions to the Guardian, how can any features be published? A suggestion was made to publish a newspaper within the school instead of the usual Guardian section in the town's newspapers, The Guardian staff has tried to obtain a room for that very purpose this year. Mr. Murphy has told us that a room will not be available for at least five years, Without a room it would be very difficult to print any paper, not to mention the added costs to the student body. But without any writers or people willing to con- tribute any paper published within the school could do nothing else but fail, Or would it? Any comment or opinion on the survey or this editorial is welcome. If the quality or quantity of the Guardian is raised the school spirit and morale at South Huron would subsequently be raised.

The first concerns misinformation and the role it plays in denying women equality in sports the second involves, whether or not males and females should compete against each other or play on mixed teams. Obviously women are physically inferior to men in certain areas: they do possess less muscle mass than men relative to body weight, Their hearts are smaller and hence have less endurance. They have 20 percent less hemoglobin, making (heir oxygen system somewhat less efficient. But that doesn't make women "tisbegotten males" as once stated by Aristotle. In fact, women last longer than • men in terms of life .expectancy and suffer less from degenerative diseases.

Looking Beyond The store was broken into Everybody guessed it was you We know you were not there They are not being very fair They say you did the hit We know you didn't do it You could never do anything wrong . . . Hope they don't put you away for long! Money was stolen from the store The window was broken on the front door You are innocent until proven guilty, and even then . . We know you had a date that. night They shouldn't blame you - they had no right! The store guard was shot in the head I just heard that he might be dead Your mom said that you were gone away But, do you hear what they all say? L. Hillman physical requirements, women have the same reaction time as men and the same rate of lear- ning skills as men, All the physical inferiority does is ignore the fact that women have many superb skills com- pared with men. As long-distance swimmers the greater fat content , of women allows them to withstand the cold better. And in gymnastics, their activities on the balance beam could never be duplicated by men whose sense of balance and co-ordination is inferior because their body types give them a higher sense of gravity. Only one conclusion is . possible; that women are not inferior, rather they are dif- ferent. Where girls are good enough to make boys teams, let them decide whether they want to get involved. Lets select com- petitors on the basis of ability, not. sex. Tile interest set at 6% Biddulph Township Council received word from the Provincial Government that tile loan interest will now be 6 per- cent. Council named Reeve Wilson Hodgins as contact man with the Ausable Bayfield Con- servation Authority in case of a flood. Five site plans were reviewed of gravel pits in Biddulph for application to the Ministry of Natural Resources for operating permits. Council agreed to a change in date of some routes for garbage pick-up. The engineers report on the Carter Simpson Drain was provisionally adopted. Council decided not to pass a By-law to enforce connection .to the Provincial water works project in Grantor'. The township appointed Engineers A. M. Spriet & Associates to prepare a drainage report in an area surrounded by lot 18, con. 8 and 9. Building permits forthe following were approved; Harry Van Boxmeer, lot 39, con, 3, an office; Chris Wilde Const,, lot 10, S. L.

The RAP committee learned Monday night that figure skating had ended up with a deficit of close to $500. The arena closed nine days before the figure skating carnival, which is the traditional money-maker for the club during the season. It was acknowledged by RAP that the club normally does not run a deficit and usually had a net income of between $900 and $700 at the end of a season. • With several bills owing, in- cluding one to RAP, it was determined that the club still had enough assets to meet its creditors provided that payment to RAP could be postponed for the present time. Treasurer Dave Zyluk moved that the club be instructed to pay its other bills and then come back, to RAP so that the committee could determine how much money it was actually dealing with. The motion carried. Coun. Lossie Fuller said, looking at the deficit, that RAP would have to look after the figure skating club. Rec. director, Jim Mckinlay added that RAP had a moral respon- sibility to look after the groups because the arena had been suddenly shut down without the groups involved having time to make adequate alternative arrangement. McKinley noted that if RAP helped hail out the figure skating club that it would be setting a precedent for Minor Hockey, as well. RAP secretary, Liz Varley noted that a financial statement had still not been received from the Minor Hockey Association end read out a statement of $1,404 owing to RAP by the association, Bill Batten a member of the Minor Hockey executive remarked that a financial statement could not be submitted to RAP until the exact figure that they owed to RAP was known. Campaign reaches 66% of target The annual campaign for cancer funds for the Canadian Cancer Society has progressed quite well, according to Ron McDaniel, campaign chairman for the Huron County Unit. The unit has a target of $30,700 for 1976 and as of April 30, total donations received at "the unit office amounted to $20,289 or 66 percent of the objective. McDaniel said that this com- pared favorably with the provincal percentage. Exeter has attained $3,520 of its target of $6800, or 52 percent. Clinton is leading the group with 85 percent of its target of $5100 already collected. Campaign co-chairmen for the Exeter branch are Gernot. Dauber, 221 Main St., Exeter, and Carfrey Cann, RR 1, Exeter. "This year's slogan, "You are Making the Difference" conveys the challenge and communicates re-assurance. They are very important ingredients es we try to meet this large, yet obtainable, challenge of generating $30,700 to meet our Huron campaign ob- jective. We tneed the support of everyone", McDaniel said. You are a very beautiful person Not the kind of beauty we see When we look into a mirror Something much more special than that You see, we have the closeness that many people don't And we can talk about things that many people won't You have trust in me - well I always think you do Anyway I have ever so much trust in you You are a very different person Not the kind of different we Taught at When we see something unusual Something special that no one else has You see the two of us can sit down and talk And I can be sure what I say you won't mock 1. know you understand and you really care You can tell people like you are so very rare. You are a very special person Not special like on an occasion When something unordinary happens Something that is with you forever You see, you have something in you so unique Something that we should all try to seek Just being with you gives so much reason to live Because, for such a person you have so much to give.
