Once again Anderson Colleglate wiil be having its annual 25- hour, music play-a-thon. It's a fun event in which the music studen- ts involve themselves with the primary intent of raising money for the music department. The money raised will be used exclusively to aid the departmnent in such areas as band trips and buying parts for its' sound system. One may sponsor a music student either by an hourly rate or by a fiat rate. .The proponents will have the easy end of the deal; it's the music students who will have to tolerate each other's "celose" company for 25, hours. How would you like to share Friday, April 13, to Saturday. April 14 with approximately 99 By L.BUZMINSKI Denis O'Connor H.S. The second week back at Denis O'Connor has been a busy one with students beginning to get back into the groove 0f things. Marks are due in shortly and the inevitable second semester mid-term report card will soon be on its way. Two weeks ago, on March 23, the students and teachers of DO'C participaàted in a special prayer service in honor of' the Blessed Virgin Mary as St. John's Church. Bishop Robert Clune presided over the prayer. Last Wednesday, March 28, the Chaplain- cy Team did such things as buy lunches, dlean tables and yes, even feed students. The ser- vice cost just 25 cents. Al ,of the proceeds go to the Share Life. A special thanks to ail those who participated. Also on Wednesday, nominations were finalized for the "Mr. and Miss Share Life" Campaign. A student was selected fromn each grade as a candidate. A picture of the student with a jar beneath it will soon be placed in the cafeteria. As silver ac- cumulates in the jar, points will be added to mi1 the candidate's favor; coppers will result in point reductions. So, give generously. It is for a good cause. The Student Council has once again decided to continue the tradition of serf day. Last Friday student representatives tallied the names of al those who wished to be a serf. On Thursday of this week, students wil be bidding for the coveted prize of having someone at beck and cali. April 6 will be the day student serfs (or teachers) will perform their duties. There is a twist, however, in that bidding will be in monopoly money. The changeover wiil result in one real dollar for every hundred dollars of play money. A number of 9's, l0's and 11's have already participated in the Pascal, Cayley and Fermat math contesta. The seniors will soon have their turn in May when they write the Euclid and- Descartes contesta. Resuits for the juniors will not be available unitil mid- April. The old saying of March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamfb certainly rang true this year. Let's hope that April showers will bring May flowers!

Mulroney has corne out clearly in support of guaranteeing French language rights in Manitoba, a position strongly op- posed by the Manitoba Tories. Mulroney, to his credit, decided to face the contentious issue head on and flew to Winnipeg to address a large group of Manitoba Tories. The reception he received was a cool one. He was booed when he spoke a few words in French. Mulroney explained his stand but refused to change it. Althougli Mulroney's position is an unpopuiar one in Manitoba and perhaps in the rest of the west, he reaily had no alternative. Canada has corne too far in its biingualism for the leader of a national party to not speak both officiai languages or to not corne out i support of rninority language rights. Support for minority language rights bas been a' cornerstone of Liberal policy. That bas continuously allowed the Liberals to win virtually every seat i the province of Quebec, although perhaps at the ex- pense of the west. The Conservatives have a strong support base in the west and practically no support in Quèbec. But in the quickly changing world of politics, that situation might soon be altered. Given Mulroney's position on Manitoba French language rights, one caqj only speculate as to what the even- tual outcomne might be. In Winnipeg, Mulroney was heckled and called "Brian Trudeau" because of the simllarity of the two men's views on language rights. In the west a comparison with Trudeau is not a compliment. Will Mulroney's upopular stand, like Trudeau's, also be enough- to alienate the western electorate, especially coupled with his silence on the Newfoun- dland offshore resources dispute? The Supreme Court recently decided that Newfoundland offshore resources were the jurisdic- tion of the federal governrnent. Newfoundland Tory M.P. John Crosbie has corne out passionately i support of granting those rights to Newfoundland and thbqt was the position adopted by the federal Consc' cives under Joe Clark. Mulroney's hesitat.,n to comment on the Supreme Court decision was taken as a calling into question of his predecessor's "comrnunity of communities" vision of Canada, which was based on the assumption that only strong regions could make a strong Canada. That, of course, pleased the provinces, especiaily the wealthier ones like Aberta, who have been trying to icrease their political power to match their new-found economic clout. Mulroney's positions, like those of Trudeau, wil clearly please the voters of his home province of Quebec. But will they also erode his electoral sup- port i the west? That largely depends on what the Liberal party's new leader offers as an alternative. By MARY-ANN HIUBERS Free Press Staff DOTC gets back into the groove Local sportsman passes away 1 other rowdy teenagers? Actuaily, it's quite fun but It is exhausting. The play-a-thon wiil commence at 9 a.m. on that Friday and the music students will have crammed them- selves, and their in- struments, into the music room by- this time. Andrew Uranowski, the head of the music department, will be the conductor. He will attempt to keep the "music" playing, however there will be times when a few music students will take breaks at designated times. The play-a-thon is usuaily very informal in that when a participant feels that his lips have either temporarily "lgiven up" or "have been shot", he may stop playing for awhile. This will not qualify hlm to leave the room when he feels like it, but he may rest for a while. The event will also give the music students a chance to get to know each other intimately. It's such a close situation in the music room that by the time the' event is over, the students usually know each others intimate personal hygiene habits fairly well. This may be beneficial for some and it may be "fatal" for others. The play-a-thon, however, wiil not take place in the music room for the entire 25 hours. At 3:15, Friday aftei- noon, the instruments, music stands, chairs, music and the students' personal belongings are moved to the gym- nasium. It is there that the rest of the play-a- thon takes place. This allows for more comfort and air, basîcally. The studenta may rol their sleeping. bags out and take a nap when on their breaks. The students are usuaily at their worst point at around 4 to 6 a.m. They are normally 50 tired that some are only capable of holding their instruments. Food, such as pizzas, wiIl be brought in during the wee hours of the morning. Who knows, maybe pizzas may pose as stimulants that will revitalize the extremely fatigued musicians. At around 8 a.m. there always seems to be a burst of sudden energy and vitalityl1 The feeling that they are near the end of the play-a-thon motivates the players! Finally, 10 ar. Saturday morning will arrive and s0 wiil the sîghs of relief as weil as feelings of accomplish- aient for the players. It will be an exhausting experience but it will be fun and the Andersonians look for- ward to this event.. 'TENNIS The Whitby Tennis Club wiI hold registration for ils up- coming season on April 7 and 14 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon in the lobby of the Iroquois Park Com- plex. .For more information cali Jay Daubney at 576-
