f 1~ Orono W..td~ Tim~ Wedn.d~y~ Merci, ~, 1O~ ~ AIl that jazz by Michael D. Woolner Hockey Fan Wars Not very often, do you see al twelve players (not including those in both the players and penalty ]boxes) one referee and two linemen, pause action.on the ice, glance up at the stands to see a mess of people fire fîsts and legs at whoever stands in the way. Itjust doesn't happen! But when playoffs start, it's at its peak. Those in attendance may include some who greatly admire boxing over Canada's national sport, and go just for sparring practise. But nowadays, most people wili agree-that in the long run, there is far more action and violence in the crowd than al tbree periods on the ice. By sitting in the wrong section at a hockey game, you increase the risk of injury to yourself and possibly those with you. A simple cheer of "Let's go Lets go!", could resuit in a pop boutle over the head, or a lit cigarette crammed down the tbroat. To sumn it ahl up, if's actually fun even a tie gaine, powerplay two on one situation witb thirteen seconds left-the third period, can't compare to flying beer cans, coffee stir sticks up the nose,, and unconscious bodies roliing-uncontroilably down the isles, Conversation is aiso a key factor in the battle of the fans. EIven oid Grandma Arbuekie, whoma laid up in the nursing home with cbronic fatigue, and neyer compietes a sentence, supports her teamn with "We're stili leading by two goals, and a formai salute of "the bird" to 'the opposing fans across the arena. .Event so far, no play bas been stopped because Viet Nam Vic, the equipment manager/beroin addict, got into a slugfest with Waffles, the team mascot over wbo was going to sweep the senies. However the total number of broken noses, ribs and folding chairs by the end of the first period, notbing could take away from the true spirit of hockey. Could it? (P.S. - Good luck Bowmanville Eagles!!)

Cuts may be in order at Durham College for term 1Durham College facing a $600,000 deficit for the 1993-94 school year may have to lay-off teachers to balance the books. Gary Polonsky, president of Durham bas said many post- secondary teachers were left feeling hostle, confused and in denial over the decision of staff lay-offs. Polonsky also, said that he owed it to the teachers to be up front over the possibiity of lay-offs.
