Over the past 10 years, RRC's full-time enrolment has increased by 67 per cent, and the number of apprentices studying yearly at RRC jumped by 57 per cent. This fall's high enrolment was spiked by a 34 per cent increase in apprenticeship program students for the fall term and speaks to RRC's awareness to the LAYOUT & DESIGN EDITOR labour needs of Manitoba businesses.

Students at Red River College got their first real sniff of a rift existing between college management and employees on Oct. 4. The feud went public with an informational picket con- ducted by unionized college employees and support staff just outside school grounds at the Notre Dame and Princess Street campuses. Currently, many of RRC's faculty and employees are work- ing under an expired collective bargaining agreement, and are attempting to negotiate a new deal with the college. But displeasure over the college's initial offer to union members has kick-started a series of for-information-only pickets geared at creating awareness on employee issues of workload and salary at the institution. Asked what the sight of instructors hitting the bricks wearing slogan-scrawled signs ultimately means for RRC students, Penny Copeland, chief steward of Local 73 — the adjunct of the Manitoba Government Employees' Union at the college, says it's an indication the union means business. "We want students to khow that their instructors care about the quality of education — they want the students to succeed, and they want to be sure that's possible," she says. Copeland stopped short of saying the pickets meant witnessed taking the time to explain clearly to students — but just how the SA plans to assess and defend the anything but business as usual for students and staff at that their actions did not constitute a strike. interests of students in the event of a strike or a manage- the college.

"Andrew does have slightly different vocals," said Hiebert, "It's going to be fun experiment- ing with that in the studio...he's a talented kid." Fans will undoubtedly get the chance to see CBK rock the `Peg again, but the band has also expressed interest in joining another major tour. "Originally we were going to do Warped Tour this year, but it didn't work out because we got a big offer to do the Gorilla Biscuits tour." Even after the minor setback, Hiebert's not ready to call it quits on Warped just yet. "We've always wanted to play Warped Tour. I'd really like to do it next year." While CBK is making new fans across Canada, one punk veteran has also jumped on their bandwagon. "The first time I saw them, I couldn't stop thinking about early Black Flag," said Jay Bentley, founding member of Bad Religion. "The whole delivery of their package was really good." Unfortunately, Comeback Kid has lost some of their Canadian politeness and Bentley has felt the burden. "I still have yet to have a (CBK) record...the band won't give me one," said Jay, obvi- ously concerned.

In my haste and laziness, I failed to get gas on my way out of the city so now I have to exercise the only option nearby to get enough gas and make it back. So I go to The Woody, fairly sure their pumps are on all night. The Woody (The Woodlands Hotel) is the only bar within a 15-20 km radius and is located conveniently on the highway for all those people that like to drink and drive home. I park at the pumps and attempt to find someone to pay for gas so I can pump it and get the hell out of there. I can't find anyone because it is apparently "Canadian Playboyz" male stripper night and the whole place is a zoo. It's packed full with the rowdiest bunch of prairie women you've ever seen under one roof. In my meanderings, to find someone to pay for gas, I run into some girls I used to go to high school with. "You gotta stay for awhile!! I haven't seen you in forever!" One yells into my ear as I watch the steroid-enhanced, greasy stripper straddle a fairly overweight middle- aged woman. I do, do I? As I make a round, saying 'hi' to these girls I seem to see once every two or three years (seemingly always at The Woody), one of the boys who had been outside comes running up and says, "Someone backed into your car!" The whole last two weeks has been full of car stress for me with my car possibly being written off.
