Free Premo photo By Mary Waterman Even though ail students dread returning to school, it does not take long for the students of Anderson Collegiate to get back into the swing of things. During our frosh week, the grade 9s competed in everything from a marshmallow-stuffing contest to <ance competitions. Froeh are not the only ones showing their spirit. Already the Anderson students have been participating in soccer, field hockey, volleyball, basketball and intramural competitions.

By Julie Parsons Anderson students who use their cars to get to school may find it easier to use school buses or Whitby transit next year. Construction for expansion of the gym, scheduled to start in Xpril or Ma y and to continue for seven months, will probably eli- minate aIl student car parking at the school. Last year the Town removed on-street parking on nearby streets. One student said the change meant a loss of about 50- spots, and made it more difficuit to find space in the school park- in glot. With the construction to ehi- minate about 75 parking spots, students are now wondering, "Where will we Park?" "Parking is horrible now, I don't know what ll do when the construction starts," says student Caren Taylor who is the driver in a car pool with three other students. "If's fot fair for the school not to provide us with parking," says student Brad Struthers. There was another complaint that there is a lack of communi- cation between the -sehool and the students to resolve problerns. "If the gym expansion is for our benefit, why don't we have any input?"Y says Terri McCabe, another student. She says she needs her car to get to her p art-time job after school, and I ater to return home. She also noted that car travel is easier for students who are involved in extracurricular acti- vities. One teacher, who preferred not to be unidentified, commented, "' he students have a lekntimate cumplaint and it's the Durham board's responsibility to supply parking. Heowever, sometimes things h ave to get worse before they get btter." CraigBurtch, vice principal, said "It's the responsibility of the school to supply the students with an education, not a -parking spot." Jin Russell, sueritendentof plant for the Dura Board of Education, said there are always problemns associated with con- struction, but no more than usual are posed by the Anderson gymnasium project.
