Robinson The Chinese have a curse which goes: May you live in interesting times . Durham College in 1979 80 has been blessed with a routine but satisfactory year, free of unexpected and distracting events. One in which it has been fairly easy to concentrate on educational matters — the raison d ' etre of our being here. Durham College has become one of the fastest growing Colleges in the system, growing 15 1 2% this year, which, while gratifying from the point of view of acceptance by both students and employers, is nevertheless putting a strain on the physical and financial resources available. Staff and students alike have worked hard under these restraints to achieve the enviable results that make our graduates increasingly acceptable to employers. To those of you who will graduate this year, I offer my congratulations and best wishes for the future. For those who will be continuing on in 1981 I wish a great vacation, and look forward to renewing acquaintances again next Sep- tember.

There are two methods of registering in this division. The first is by being sponsored through the local office of Manpower under the terms of the Occupational Training Act. The second method is to be a fee-paying student. These programmes may appeal to some high school graduates who are not otherwise interested in College or University. 6 applied arts The Applied Arts Division teaches practical and creative skills in graphics, interior design, journalism, public relations and sports and entertainment administration. Emphasis is on application of classroom content through field trips, a leadership camp, great speakers, and a laboratory approach wherever possible. The second year of some programs require students to work two days a week for an agency in their field of study. Through the emphasis on applied skill, and by working in partnership with their instructors in an informal atmosphere, students are challenged to develop maturity, independence, and good work habits. The technology Division had a record growth year m 1979. Enrollment increased by 20.6% over the previous year. This increase was the highest for any technology division in the college system. The number of students taking technology programmes throughout the system is below industry requirements and consequently job openings exceed the number of graduates. At the core of the problem is the demanding nature of technology programmes resulting from the increasing com- plexity of the industrial world. Canada must develop an industrial base to survive as an advanced industrial nation. This will assure Canada of a place in the future of this world. 8 business The Business Division of Durham College had another record year in 1979 80. Total enrolment increased 20.4% over last year. Over the last decade the divisional enrolment has averaged a 15% increase every year. On the provincial scene the Business Division has the twelfth largest enrolment of the twenty two colleges in Ontario. We do not want to put undue emphasis on size, because we feel that quality is far more significant than quantity. At the same time the proof of the pudding is in the eating . When this is coupled with the success of our graduates in obtaining employment then we are in an enviable position. 9 health sciences The Health Sciences Division offers Nursing programmes, Dental Assistant and Dental Hygiene. There is great importance placed on the student ' s per- formance in laboratory and clinical settings. Since the performance of the graduates from these programmes may directly affect the health and well-being of the people with whom they come in contact, it is mandatory that these students not only achieve good academic grades, but that they also master certain basic skills. Oshawa has been serving and working in conjunction with Durham for the past twelve years. Oshawa has provided a transit system that took students to and from the College throughout the year. Through rain, hail, sleet, and snow, our faithful bus drivers managed to arrive at the College and unload sleepy students every morning. The Oshawa citizens have had the opportunity to become familiar with the events that Durham College hosted or participated in. The local newspapers featured articles on the athletic standings, graduates and other school oriented events. If by chance, or choice, home was located at a great distance from the College, remaining in Oshawa for the weekend furnished an ap- propriate time to become acquainted with Oshawa ' s many entertainment features. Dances, movies, plays, restaurants and pubs were open to provide enjoyment for all. Durham College should be proud of the fine city in which it is located, and Oshawa should be proud of the fine College it contains. By chance, or choice, Durham and many fast food restaurants were built in the same vicinity. There are cuisines that prepare delicacies to befit the finickiest connoisseurs. Mother ' s and Frank ' s by popular choice (if only for their liquids) provided a relatively quiet atmosphere. These two restaurants offered discounts for the students of Durham. For those who preferred the traditional hamburg and fries , there was Burger King ' s Whopper or the twoallbeefpatties of Mc- Donald ' s. A small poll was taken to find the most popular places. Favourite Eateries Poll 2 Frank Vetere ' s — good bar (salad of course!) 2 Mother ' s Pizza — cute waitresses. 2 McDonalds — caught a glimpse of Ronald McDonald. 3 couldn ' t remember where they got . . . um, ate. 1 didn ' t return. And just think, all year you had brought your own homemade peanut butter sandwich and devoured it in Durham ' s Cafes when you could have been OUT TO LUNCH . 12 Your intrepid reporter has been asked to write on Oshawa ' s night life. Because of my inexperience in these areas, I undertook the hiring of a guide. After an exhaustive search I found the person I felt was most qualified in these matters, George Guppy. His primary qualification was the fact that he drinks like a fish. Accompanying us on our perilous sojourn were those maritime cowboys, the Tetra Brothers. It soon became obvious how they achieved their Country and Western nickname — The Rummy Nose Tetras. What follows is a diary of our night ' s activities: 8:00 p.m. started at the Holiday Inn Auto Pub. This popular lounge on Bloor Street, East, features pop rock entertainment. We only had a few beers each because we had to pace ourselves for the long night ahead. Left at 8:50. 9:00 p.m. arrived at Mainstreet, Genosha Hotel. This is another of the more frequented night spots in town, especially among Durham students. Spotted a few friends listening to the band and went over for a brief conversation. Developed a slight pain in my back from bending over to talk to them under the table. Decided to investigate Morgans, upstairs, before moving on. Left the Genosha at 10:15. 10:30 p.m. arrived at Zolly ' s Forum at the Oshawa Centre. This is the common hang-out of the Durham disco crowd. After a drink or three decided to get in the swim of things. Asked a lovely young lady for a dance. He declined. Seemed like a good time to leave. Left Zolly ' s at 11:00. 11:15 p.m. taxi deposits us at the Carousel Inn. Staggered into Valeries. Looked around for somebody to sit with. Couldn ' t see anybody: waitress sat us in the corner. Just as well, this gave us some walls to hang to. I am told that the music was loud but it didn ' t seem that way to me. Maybe my eardrums had become numb along with the rest of my body. I observed the Tetra Brothers were dancing with one another. At 12:00 midnight we were asked to leave. Time was running short anyway. 12:15 a.m. arrived at the Georgian Inn. I am not sure how we got here, maybe we flew. Crawled into the room to see what was happening. There seemed to be about 20 people in the band but my count may have been a little off. By this time I was counting on my fingers and up to fifteen on one hand alone. Suddenly everyone seemed to be shouting last call , so I called out get me a taxi . Left in disgrace at 1:15 a.m. 1:30 a.m. finally arrived home. It had been a long dangerous trek but I had survived. Jim MacDonnell 13 14 the mystery of simcoe building If, by this time you still do not know any more about the Simcoe Building than you did when you came to the College, please continue reading. The Simcoe Building is located on the College property and is responsible for the adult and part- time student as well as some health science programs. The health science division includes all nursing and dental programs. If you have seen, throughout the year, people wandering the halls looking ex- tremely important — they were students and there was no need to salute them when they passed you in the halls. The adult training division has two types of training. There is skill training in various oc- cupations such as machine shop, electronics, drafting and commercial skills. This division also provides academic upgrading in grades one to twelve. Students of the Simcoe Building have also enjoyed the facilities of the main building including the sports complex, cafeterias, dining lounge and conference centre. Now you finally know where those vaguely familiar people kept coming from during the past year. 19 Webster calls it Cafeteria. Kaf i ' ter e«a — noun. A kind of restaurant in which the patrons wait on themselves, carrying the food to small tables where it is eaten. Durham calls it Cafe. Kaf ' a — noun. Another world where students and staff go to escape from reality. Middle: My full house beats your math class, anytime! Bottom: Work ... or play? The books are just for show. OPPOSITE PAGE. Middle Right: That ' s the one I want, right there. Bottom Right: Fireball in action. 22 Right: These students sure can eat. Obviously they didn ' t have any breakfast. OPPOSITE PAGE. Bottom: No, Sherry, you ' re supposed to cook them not eat them. Middle: More burger than bun? You ' d better believe it! Top: You v ant food? Go to the end of the line, buddy. P.S. It was worth the wait! orientation week The first event for this year ' s Orientation week, which was held September 17 - 21, 1979, was a car Rally. In each there were two people — a navigator, to tell the driver where to turn, and a driver, to tell the navigator where to go. Thirty-eight cars entered the race, sixteen cars completed it, and a search party was sent out for the rest. First place winners were Lynne Patterson and MaryAnne Vereydt. They were presented with trophies at the first pub of the year, held at the Jube , and featuring Caesar. Other events also contributed to a successful week. There was an amazing turnout of people to the Spaghetti and Wine Dinner which featured comedian Tony Molesworth. Tantalizing aromas filled the air as the College ' s staff prepared a delicious lunch for the students day, followed by a baseball tournament, with the second-year General Business class, G2, proving victorious.

Bottom Left: The sexiest couple in town!!? Bottom Right: Mmmm, brown-pop. emz, zwei, drei: zoffa! The spirit of Oktoberfest lives at Durham! This past fall, enthusiastic people, students and staff, created a great atmosphere for celebrating. The Happy Wanderers provided music for the polkas that exhausted the dancers, and the cold draft beer quenched the resulting thirsts. Oktoberfest sausage and other mouth-watering edibles helped to make the festivities complete. The pub committee did an excellent job of creating a theme and getting everyone involved. Drinking cheers brought all those attending together. Overall the Oktoberfest Pub was extremely successful. 34 36 saa sac yearbook committee Editor: Copy Editor: Production Staff: Photography: Advertising: Thanks to: Susan Krem Donna Ulrich Cheryl Gray Neil Wick Susan Krem Chronicle Staff B3M B12 for their assistance Jean Harnden for the yearbook sales Sue Stones Jim MacDonell Applied Arts and a personal thanks to Gord, Phil, Kelly, Kate, Steve, Tony, Craig and Sherry for their support. 38 smile for the day: cafeteria is closed G2P Karen Aylward Dorothy Borndahl Walter Dupczak Bill Fairservice John Machala Tom Servinis Timothy Stapleton Cathy Sytsma Stephen Tamblyn Penelope Toye Katherine Wakulicz T14 Tirn Barron Robert Clark Keith Edwards Perter Froehlich Edward Fry Paul Grybas Louis Harteau Anthony Kuypers Douglas Mason Richard McNutt Rose-anne McPhee Kevin Rahmer Tyler Trute Mark Ulrich Michael Wells Michael Zaiser Pedro Springer nursing is- ' 61 APPLIED ARTS 65 Durham College is very fortunate to have access to the finest sports complex in the Durham Region. This relatively new facility offers students, faculty, and community members the opportunity to play almost any racquet sport desired. There are five squash courts (two with spectator viewing areas), 4 tennis courts (two indoor, two outdoor), 8 badminton courts, and 1 platform tennis court. In addition to the racquet facilities there are 3 volleyball, 3 basketball (including one regulation), and a beautiful fitness centre with complete universal gymnasium and mini-track and a kinesiologist on hand to set up special programs for each individual. The Student Athletic Association at Durham College is granted the use of the facility to run any intramural or varsity program and special events during the school year. Sports such as basketball, volleyball, floor hockey, badminton and European Handball are just a few of the programs offered by the S.A.A. to the students and staff. Having a facility as nice as this one has made it much more enjoyable for the students and staff at Durham I College and other persons using it. Sports complex Steve Thwaites Intramural Volleyball Finalists VARSITY GOLF The team wound up in fourth place in the OCAA Championship, bettering their sixth place finish from last year. VARSITY SOCCER The soccer team won the eastern division cham- pionship with an undefeated record for the first time in its seven year history. Unfortunately at the OCAA finals they could only come up with a consolation champion, which was a little disappointing to the team. 70 MEN ' S VARSITY BASKETBALL The first half of the season was really up and down for the squad, but when the second half was finished the team was playing much better and managed to get a playoff position. The team did quite well. VARSITY TENNIS They just couldn ' t seem to get it together this year, with no dne qualifying to go to the OCAA finals. The team had third place in the Eastern Division but it wasn ' t enough to qualify for OCAA ' s. WOMAN ' S VARSITY BASKETBALL The girls had a rough go of it this year, running up against some tough competition, but it was the first time there has been a women ' s varsity team. MEN ' S VARSITY VOLLEY In their second year of Varsity competition, the volleyball team placed third of the B teams which was a high accomplishment as compared to last year, VARSITY BADMINTON Overwhelming the College by sending seven representatives to the OCAA ' s, the team placed second in the eastern division playoffs. CROSS-COUNTRY CLUB This year was the first year that the Club was really successful. With six members, three women and three men, they placed first in the Women ' s Division in the tournaments entered. INTRAMURAL BASEBALL There was a total of 15 in the schedule. The season went well except for rain which extended the season much longer than intended. The playoffs were a series of elimination rounds until B3M was declared the champions. WOMAN ' S VARSITY HOCKEY The team had a tough time getting a steady turnout, but they feel the OCAA ' s will do well. MEN ' S EXTRAMURAL HOCKEY As always the men ' s team was very strong, with only one loss out of 5 games. WOMEN ' S EXTRAMURAL VOLLEYBALL There was a large turnout for the tryouts this year hopefully justifying a team for next year. VARSITY SKI TEAM The team did well despite poor snow conditions in what events it could enter. Hopefully with better weather next year the team will stand a better chance. INTRAMURAL COED VOLLEYBALL Coed Volleyball was one of the most popular activities in the college with at least 20 teams entered. The Champion was G2M. MEN ' S INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL The basketball league was very strong and com- petitive. The season was not finished at the time but the playoffs should be exciting. MEN ' S INTRAMURAL HOCKEY Men ' s hockey being a popular Canadian sport was very successful. The Beaver Squeezer (B3X) came out on top in this event. INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL The surviving team was All, with cheering, freezing spectators urging them on. 73 Nobody can do it like McDonalds caniM 1349Simcoe N 579-2751 McDonald ' s ♦ • 501 Ritson S. 579-2122 DRUG MART MIDTOWN MALL 200 JOHN ST.
