Editor: June Brinkman DURHAM STUDENTS AT- TEND NUCLEAR HEAR-; INGS On November l6th, students fi-bm grade il and 12, along with a few teachers, went ta theNulear Hearings in Port Hope. These hearings were held ta decide whether or not Eldorado would be able ta put up a nuclear refinery in the Port Hope area.i A great majority of the people attending the hearings were residents of Port Hope, and most of them were in favor of nuclear power. Theree were a few groups represent- ed there, such as Durham , that were strongly opposed ta nuclear power. Angelique Nuetel. a grade il student, read Durham's presentation which stated their concerns. Here is part of that statement. "Can we be sure that none of the uranium exported will bie sold to poor and underdevelop- ed countries? We are concern- ed that the capital intensive nature of the nuclear economy is unsuitable for poor count- ries, and maintain that the only reason that we would exportto them would be out of self-interest. " "If exports faîl into the wrong hands who knows what types of goveraments will acquire the immense power of nuclear weapons? We can't even control international nar- cotics trade. How can we assume control of the trans- gortation of uranium and its y-products? We feel that nuclear power should be eliminated because it threat- ens the survival of mankind." DURHAM EXPERIMENTS WITH NON-VIOLENCE COURSE From November 12 until December 7, the grade il and 12 classes have been interrupt- ed by a Non-Violence course. For the first two weeks grade 12 along with Mr. M. Ward, took the course every other day. The grade il students, along witb Mr. Vanderzwan and Mr. Nieuwsma, took the course the last two weeks. The course was led by Ken Hancock, and Eda Hoffman belped him out with a fe% sessions; both are from Tor onto.

The grade 12 students dis- cussed how we feel pressured to do things that peoffle iii authority, experts tell us to do, when actually we don't have to. People have to take responsibility for their own lives and not let the leaders in society push them around. This corresponds witb what the grade il students discus- sed the fact that men and women are forced into certain roles by society but don't even realize it. The students decid- ed that some of the situations around the school could be changed. For example - the guys could get involved in bakesales instead of only the girls as is usually the case. Grade il students also expres- sed their feelings about male to female relationships and felt that both sexes should be more open and at ease with each other. During the course the girls and guys split upa couple of times, Eda taking the girls and Ken taking the guys. The grade il and 12 girls both discussed different forms of birth control, child birth,_child rearing, and mother ta daughter relationships. The grade il guys took up things similar to what the grade 12 guys discussed, such as father to son relationsbips, bomosexuality, competition between men, male ta female relationships, and the pres- sure on men not ta show their feelings and ta be tough, cool and strong. The large groups of students often split up into small groups of twos and threes for better discussions. Other things that were discussed were racism and Martin Luther King, ageism, the question of nuclear power, and examining yourself. Students also did some acting out of different situations in society such as racial discrimination. The reason Durham decided ta have this course was ta introduce the students to a new kind of learning. The teachers at Durham have sensed frustration in students because their teaching calîs for action. They tbink that the students feel this way 'since many of them do not really know why they are learning certain things or what ta do with them. The course, then, was ta get the students ta realize that, what they are learning will help them, and that they can The Durham ThlingS Durham Christian Secondary Sehool Yj~)Bowmanville, Ontarioj Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 20, 1978 17 Pine Ridge, Cake Decorators Display Their Artistry Sepembr complaining abot heheavy gravel truck traffic on the road and the resulting cost and noise pollution plus inherent dangers to the neighbourhood children. Link with do'something about the bad situations that are presented to them. The Durham staff hopes to have more of this type of learning and plans to start team-teaching., This would involve taking one topic and looking at ail the aspects of it through the different subjects. There is basically a good feeling about the course from those students who took it. Only a few people thought it was boring and could take it or leave it. Others said they were so used to taking orders from teachers that they found it hard to handle ail the respon- sibility offered by the course. Some of the positive com- ments were "it was exciting", " a good change from the rules of school", and "I learned a lot without having to take notes or worry about, a test at the end of it' ahl." Many students feit dloser to each other and to the teachers who also took the course. It was an excellent experience and it looks as though it will continue. CHOIR CONCERT On Friday, December 8, Durham had its annual Christ- mas-Winter concert. The con- cert started at 8 o'clock with both the Mass Choir and the Chamber choir singing a large selection of songs. Dr. K. Ward also sang a couple of songs and Mr. J. Hull read two Cbristmas stories directed at the children. The'concert was over at around 10: 30 and was a big success. The mass Choir and the Chamber Choir have been and will continue to be performing for different churches and for some scbool events through- out the school year. So far both choirs are doîng a good job and are well received. DURHAM PLANS CHRIST- MAS BANQUET Durham will be having its annual Christmas banquet Wednesday, December 20th. It will start at 5:30 witb a dinner and entertainment after- wards. The entertainment will be provided by the students themselves and by some of the teachers. Each homeroom was asked to come up with a skit of some other form of entertainment and individuals will be singing or using their talents in other ways. The Banquet should be an enjoyable one and a time of "togetherness" between stu- dents and staff. Some people feel that a small school such as Durham is not as good as a large one, but being able to have an all school event such as this proves them wrong. Don't forget before you go a fliwj of the many cakes they had decorated for the occasion. Taking part, from left to right, were Tammy Rogers, Judy Ormiston, Lillian Syer, Nancy Leblanc, Barb Stapleton and Anne West. Sec k Answer to Traffie Problem In Leskard Area Councillor Bill Clarke asked what the municipality was going to do about the problem of gravel truck traffic on Leskard Road when the public works com- mittee met in'Hampton last week. In his election cam- paign, Coun. Clarke said he would seek a solution to the Leskard Road traffic problem. He told Town of Newcastle Works Director Jack Dunham that people were asking him what the town, is doing to relieve the problem and hie has been unable to: give a satisfactor'y an- swer. "We should start studying what we really intend to do and'let the people know, " he said. Mr. Dunham ex- plained hie was directed to look at alternate truck routes and con- cluded that given the existing road system there isn't another route that would take heavy truck traffic. He said a lot of time wouldn't have been wasted on the matter if, about two years ago, council had taken a stand and said nothing could be done due to lack of funds. Lt may have been cruel, hie said, but it would have been true. "We can't afford a whole new truck access route." He explained that former Clarke township irnproved Leskard roads in this area due to financial restraints." At present, said Dunham, he is looking at a road to the north as an alternate route for the trucks transporting gravel from Salco Sand and Gravel. Lt may present one of the most economic ways of dealîng with, the problem, he stated. No matter what solution is. decided upon, he told committee members, council will have to sort out methods of finan- PADDY'S MARKET New and Used Furniture and Appliances Trade-Ins Accepted on Appiances - Easy Credif Terms Available - Telephone 263-2241 Hampton MULLS BROS.
