Emotions ran high around Humber as students learned about the tragic ter- rorist attack in the U.S. Tuesday morning at the North campus, students in Residence and at Caps hovered around TVs to watch the latest footage of the crash of the World Trade Towers and the fire at the Pentagon. Counsellors roamed the halls of Humber talking with students upset about the disaster. Among them, Yolanta Galazka, face etched with worry, fear and con- cern, was found on her cell phone try- ing to reach relatives in New York. Galazka's brother and sister-in- law work in New York. Her sister, a bank inspector, works in a building close to the site of the crash and some- times works at the World Trade Center. "I can't get through to anyone there. [I'm] worried and devastated.

I left messages on every phone possi- ble, hoping that they can get a hold of me," she said. Galazka had been in New York just two weeks ago and visited the World Trade Center. "When you realize how many thousands and thousands are in that building, the carnage, I just can not conceive of it," Galazka said. At Humber's residence, students gathered around watching and listen- ing to the developing tragedy. Radio broadcasting student Jenny Libits, of Long Island, New York had just entered the lounge and was con- fused about what was happening. "I don't even know. Ifs scary," Libits said. Because Libits' family lives in Manhattan and not near the World Trade Center, she said she was not too Shawn Baldwin, CP worried. However, after just a few brief Firefighters begin the trecherous task of sifting through the twisted remains of the World Trade Center following terrorist attacl

By KRYSHA LITTLEWOOD ^ Et Cetera Staff

Ontario undergraduate students will see a 2.1 per cent increase in tuition this year. Statistics Canada reports. Humber College has seen an

increase in all programs this year, that

is equivalent to a $45 extra payment per student, not including compulso- ry fees. Also, each program can increase the same amount each year, for the next five years. "The government continues to under-fund community colleges," said Joel Duff, Ontario Chairperson for the Canadian Federation of Students. "They're treating colleges like the poor second cousin." Duff said that college students are hit the hardest because they see the greatest increases in extra fees. While the report states that the

increase is the smallest since 1970, students will pay twice the tuition that was paid only a decade ago. Between 1991 and 2001, fees have skyrocketed six times faster than the cost of living.

"I don't think it's going to make a dramatic effect," said Rick Embree, dean of planning and development at Humber College. "It's not hundfeds of dollars."

It may not be hundreds of dollars but students may still feel the noose getting tighter. "It sucks. With art programs there are addirtonal supply fees that can go over $3000, not including books. Then you add that on to the cost of rent and food," said second-year Film and Television student, Danielle Barranca. In some provinces across Canada, tuition fees have decreased or been frozen. Newfoundland's fees have decreased ten per cent, while British Columbia and Manitoba won a freeze this year. In Quebec, college for resi-

dents is free. Duff said the Canadian Federation

of Students is currently preparing a tuition policy paper to be presented to the NDP and Liberal governments for their next platform. September

"Generally those who do drugs are eventually caught," he appeal. He said he doesn't want his personal life affected by the added. "This rule is nothing new. We have always had it. We are just taking it more to an extreme," said Peter Lem, Humber life resi- dence co-ordinator. He added that one student has been evicted from Humber Residence already this semester. "This person was caught with drugs and evicted the first day of moving in," he said. One reason for the extreme approach, according to Lem, is that more underage students are enrolled in residence this year. "Some (underage) students were caught with fake ids during ," a pub night at JJ Muggs during orientation week Lem said. Each resident advisor has been given a list of students and their ages to alert them to potential underage drinkers. Lem said that a student caught drinking under age or using drugs won't necessarily be automatically evicted. However, the student will be punished. Another punishment could be probation, Lem said. Probation allows a student's behaviour to be monitored over a certain period of time. Punishment could also involve revoking privileges, such as not allowing guests in the residence. Using drugs, according to the Residence Code of Conduct, could also result in "prosecution under the legal system." "Zero tolerance means that there's certain types of acts and behaviour that as a residence, we can't tolerate," Lem said, "from a legal point of view, [and] from a liability point of view." Lem added the residence has a responsibility to protect the rights and image of the students and the building. When students arrive at residence in August, they are required to sign a contract that outlines the restrictions taken from the Humber Student Residence Handbook and Code of Conduct. The contract says "Any student should expect a severe disci- plinary action" if the following situations occur:

DeAveiro leaves championship Hawics to help lead former team By MARC MacDONALD Et Cetera Staff

Home sweet home. That's where ex- Humber assistant, men's basketball coach, Dave DeAveiro is going. DeAveiro, who attended and

taught at the University of Ottawa, is returning to his Alma Mater to be the head coach of its basketball program. After spending five years at Humber, DeAveiro is looking forward to the new challenge.

"It's pretty exciting. My wife and I both went to school there, it's a homecoming of sorts," said the for- mer Hawks coach. Turning around a program that

posted a 3-19 record last year is a

daunting task, but it's an opportunity DeAveiro relishes. "Leaving Humber will be tough. I'm going to miss the family atmos-

phere there, but I hope to build that

atmosphere in Ottawa. I want to cre- ate excitement about us," DeAveiro said.

DeAveiro's ability to recruit tal- ented young players will be vital to the rebuilding of the Gee-Gee's bas- ketball program. Luckily, while at Humber, one of his primary responsi- bilities was recruiting new players, so

he is confident that he can attract tal- ented players.
