sessional athletes are usu-
ally. ;luted upon with envy by a
majority Of the public, because
they represent a manifestation of
our ehildhood dreams.
To be paid handsomely and
glorified in
print and
nd on television
for yng little boys' games in
frontof cheering thousands is an
idyllic way of escaping the 9-5
treadmill predictability of grow-
ing :up and melding with the
swarms of white and blue car
workers.
For every athlete' who reaches
the end of Ms professional car-
eer--fretting
areekfretting that he didn't stay
in school: through university and
become an accountant instead of
a hockey player—there are 50. to
100 businessmen and professional
and tradesmen types who sit gaz-
ing wistfully into the TV tube at
the games grown men play for
big dollars; Andthey
;ick
them
-
selvesbecause they never had
the nerve or the ability, to take a
fling and savor the glamorous life
of the pro athlete.
Because there are 'sa many of
.as who envy the Iifc, of those who
madequick it , we're' to gro:vidin-
dignantly when we pick up a
paper and read where players
make fat -five -figure salaries and

So when you ;envision the gla-
morous life Oa professional atb-
lete, think of a' gutty who makes, if
Tae's lucky, $15,009 a year; who
must be prepared to find an en-
tirely new way of making a living
before he's 40; who has absolute -
no job security; who can be
suspended, fired, traded, de-
moted or sold halfway across the
continent without bis knowledge
• or prior consent; who carries
with him every day the gnawing
fear that a crippling injury can
render useless his skills—skills
he spent a whole youth preparing.
Let's talk about professional
balk players, since they are cur-
._rently embroiled in controversial
negotiations with major league
club owners.
What do these plaYers want,
anyway? .
To start with, the pro baseball
players have the same needs and
desires as other people who make
their living innormal ways,
While yourdream of being a pro
athlete, dei you know what pro
athletes dream of? ✓
They would like to choose their
employer instead of having the
employer choose them. • They
would like to be able to select an
appropriate geograrhical area'in

Professional. baseball players
are: now the lone exception
among professional athletes who
DO have an alternative',;to being
owned like a piece of property.
Likewise, baseball players are
the only' professional ' athletes
who don't have a rival league to
go to -even if they ,could free
themselves.. of the yoke of base-

,And it appears that these play-
ers
will never be completely, free
`until someone does start a new
league and bids competitively for
their 'services. Realizing this is
not,, about to ,happen in the near
future, the players are currently
seeking some way to at,„„least

Magazine, John Richmond, artist
and photo editor, and Michael ,
Semak, York University, are the
members of the selection com-
mittee and will also act as jurors

"We are trying to bring g photo- ,
graphy to the people," . said •
'martin- Oudejans, program co-
ordinator of photography' at
Conestoga College of Applied
Arts and Technology, in Kitchener
and organizer of the exhibit.
"That is why we wanted our
display in Toronto and• in
spot
where a great many people will
have access, to it."
The exhibition will reflect what
is being done in the field of photo
education in Canada today, he
added.
Universities and colleges from
coast , to coast in Canada are
participating.
The exhibit will remain in
Toronto until March 25 at which
time it will be available for other
institutions r:on ' a travelling

ferry relief supplies. Now Canada
will provide up to $1 million in
food. Makeup and delivery of the
food -aid package will depend on
Nicaragua's'needs and contribu-
tions from other. donors.
As about half Managua's fire-
fighting equipment was damaged
or destroyed, CIDA will supply
three fire trucks, spare parts and
some $100,000 worth of'other fire-
fighting equipment. Two pre-
fabricated staff buildings and two
warehouses will be provided for
the 250 -bed hospital at Jinotepe,
25 miles south, the only sizable
one still intact in the area. They
will house emergency :staff and
accommodate extra supplies
needed.
Canadian officials visited
Managua to co-ordinate relief
efforts early in January, and a
team of CIDA consultants has
gone there to study a Nicaraguan
proposal to use the 9 million. cubic
yards of - rubble from the
devastated city for possible' new
harbor facilities. This scheme or
alternative ideas would also help
provide jobs for the tens of
thousands left without work.
Among Canadian agencies col-
