Over the past few months, the greater Toronto and Hamilton- Wentworth areas have been in full swing with the new Drive Clean emis- sion testing program. Although (lie drawbacks to such a program arc just as evident (and obscure) as the benefits, we have to start somewhere. For environmental connoisseurs, this program is a step in the right direc- tion of a long crusade to end the use of fossil fuel powered vcliicles. Most would agree that the reduction of pollution would do far more good for everyone than it would harm. But the reality is, if this thing makes it big, then auto manufacturers will be put under more and more pressure to make cars that blow cleaner exhaust than Detroit air. And that can get costly. In California, emissions testing is far more strict than our current program, and every car has to meet the California Low Emissions Vehicle (LEV) standard before being road wor- thy in that state. Just as technology increases, so do emission specifications. Which is where auto manufacturers come in. With the technology that exists today, engineers are able, one would think, to build a car that drives so clean, no pun intended, that an emission test would be a simple formality if that car was properly maintained. But they won't build it. Not yet any- ous test. Clean inspector has his/her own card Clean test, but it takes a half hour to way.

The organization Is multi- denominational but members share Christian beliefs. "We are young people that love the Lord," said Bruneau. "Our mission statement is to help people know God in a personal way and change the world." Bruneau became involved with the group while attend- ing the University of Guelph. "I am participating in a Millennium Pledge, a one-year ministry to spread God's word and encourage the growth of the organization," he said. Bruneau said the philoso- phy behind the crusade is "win, build and send." "The first step is to win peo- ple over to Christ, to help them find God personally," he said. "The second step is help- ing their training as Christians through bible studies. And the last step is to send them out, sharing the word of Christ with others." Dan Touma, a first-year electronic engineering stu- dent, is the Campus 'Crusade for Christ contact at Durham College. "A friend told me about the group, and I had a chance to attend one of their weekend conferences in Toronto," said Touma. "I was really impressed with the speakers and the enthusiasm within the organization." According to Touma, the Campus Crusade for Christ helps .strengthen existing Christians in their faith.

NH L fantasy i s for the fans BY JON KUIPERIJ Chronicle staff It's always hard to get hockey tick- ets in Toronto, so securing a ducat for the 50th NHL all-star game was impossible for almost everyone. However, thousands of hockey fans of all ages were able to experience the excitement of the 2000 National Hockey League all-star celebration by attending NHL FANtasy, an interac- tive and fan-friendly event organized by the NHL, last week in Toronto. The 500,000 square foot event fea- tured more than 30 hockey attrac- tions, including virtual-reality hockey games and tests of different hockey skills. "The goal of the event is to allow fans who may not necessarily have a chance to go to the all-star game to experience the all-star festivities through a series of interactive events, fan-friendly attractions and activi- ties," said Sandra Carreon, Manager of Corporate Communications for the National Hockey League. "There's something for everybody."
