ODC representative Lou DiGironimo refused to reveal the amount of rent the school will pay, but said the amount will increase if the school is successful. "Ultimately the deal is great for the community, the school, and the ODC. We're optimistic. Things like this take a few years to get going full blast," he said. The ODC said the school will have a full-time enrollment of up to 575 students (including 500 inter- national students) in its first year. Lewis said the school will hopeful- ly accommodate 700 students with- in three years, with 500 of them liv- ing in residence and 200 living in the local community. Private post -secondary education in Canada More than 100,000 students per year are trained at private Canadian post -secondary institutions, said Paul Kitchin. executive director of the national association of career colleges. "Many of these schools have been around 80 or 90 years but because they arc small operations in smaller communities, they're not as well known," he said.

"The training is intensified: a one- year secretarial course is equivalent to a two-year community college course. Then you are out earning a year earlier. "Efforts are made to help gradu- ates with placement. There is no government funding so the success of the school is all based on provid- ing good training so employers are hiring grads and the school gets a good reputation; there is a tremen- dous incentive for the school to be responsive." Due to their small size, private schools are also very adaptable. "They can change quickly where- as at large institutions the bureau- cracies mean change may take a long time," Kitchin said. Private colleges often target inter- national students, who spend $1.5 billion in Canada every year. The new international college in Centralia plans to do so. "[Dr. George Lewis] is very for- ward -thinking. He is going after the international market. There is great potential," Kitchin said.

"Any participant who is bleeding, will not be able to continue play- ing," said Hodges. You're outta here! The rule states that anyone That's what softball players (player, coach or umpire) who is across Ontario will hear if they are bleeding or has blood on their uni- bleeding on the ball diamond. form, cannot continue to participate until he/she is treated and the soiled uniform is changed. This means that even dried blood on a uniform is enough to get the player participant ejected from the game. If the ejection leaves the team with too few players to continue, the team may have to forfeit the game. Affected participants will be given a 'reasonable' amount of time to treat the wound and change the soiled uniform, and if the changes are accomplished within this time frame, the participant will be allowed to continue. The official policy for determin- ing a 'reasonable' amount of time says "the length of time is entirely left to the judgement of the umpire." "It's called the blood rule," said Hodges. In Seaforth, the rule will affect over 500 players on minor softball, slo-pitch and fastball teams. BY MARK CRIPPS for The Huron Expositor Concem over the spread of AIDS has compelled Softball Ontario to adopt a new regulation giving umpires the right to eject any ball player or coach who suffers an open wound while playing baseball. The rule also applies to bleeding umpires, and has been adopted by Softball Canada as well. "This information should be out to everyone involved with softball," said WOAA spokesman Hugh Hodges. "It's an extensive rule, and will be enforced." HIV, the virus believed to cause AIDS, can be transmitted through contact with the blood of an infected person. Health officials can't guarantee that there is absolutely no risk of contracting AIDS from contact between open wounds or blood on clothing. But exposure to air will kill HIV, and within an hour, 80 per cern of the virus will die. Even a short exposure to air will leave too little Kids Kloze downs Coops Women's ball was down to two teams last week who will play each other every week.
