A SAC full of $
This week. The Crash Test Dummies came to Humber to per- form in front of a bunch of cash-strapped dummies. Dunmimies are what SAC must thifUc students are if they expect them to swallow an $1 1,000, 45-minute concert by the fledgling Canadian group.
At a time when every area of thcj^college is being gouged by harsh austerity measures, the Students' Association Council is lALK slothing around like a fat pig in a pen, confused over what to do with all the mud under its toes.
Next semester, Humber tuition fees will rise by seven per cent — a $56 increase per student. Last week, Coven ran a story on a xDAa fact-finder report which forecasted a brain drain if wages for
' instructors don't rise. The same issue reported that a program to replace classroom furniture and upgrade equipment could have its BACK funding cut by half due to budget restraints.

'What would you like the college to do to In addition to bringing The Crash Test celebrate its 2Sth Dummies to Humber (at a cost of over $244 , anniversary?" a minute), SAC is also providing students with free food vouchers during Winter Mad- ness. It certainly is madness. If SAC Presi- dent Brett Honsinger wants to play Robin Hood he should stop taking money from the
poor just to give it back to them again. The public relations maneouvering which saw the emergence of food vouchers is at best questionable. Food Services claim close to $1 ,000 of packaged food is going missing every month and SAC has concluded that students are now resort- ing to robbery to eat.
If SAC really wants to help students find nourishment during the
recession, it should propose food subsidies in the cafeterias.
Certainly the $5,000 worth of vouchers being given away this week could be spent more effectively. In addition to the voucher Bryan McClenaglian Sherri Lockwood Mike Bragg winfall, SAC will soon be giving away free BLTs at CAPS.

In total , SAC'S Winter Madness Budget totals a record $30,000. This is up $25,000 from last year's budget. It's also about $25,000 more than is appropriate in a recession.

Pai^ C2 Thursday, Feb. 13, 1992 Coven 20th Anniversary Trail-blazers set the standard by Lara Thais King Long ago before there was a newspaper called Coven, a paper " called Ad Hoc was bom in a broom closet' ' within the first month of Humber' s existence. In 1967 General Arts, Early Childhood Education, and Home Economics students helped start the paper and later became the core of the journalism program. Dan Mothersill, editor in chief of Ad Hoc in 1968, said, "Ad Hoc is a student newspaper that burst forth with regular irregular- ity, where common sense is nonsense and every sentence holds a surprise." Walt McDayter, now senior program co-ordinator of Literature and Communications, started as program co-ordinator of Journal- ism in 1968. The program kept Ad Hoc until 1971 when Coven was bom. "The paper (Ad Hoc) was totally different," said McDayter. It was more political, more non-campus issues, and far more inves- * tigative he said. Ad Hoc produced a syndicate, a Humber College news service that mailed stories to about 100 newspapers. The students also produced a weekly televison program with their own clips and were the first to film in Provincial Parliament. The 1968 Humber yearbook wrote that the writers of Ad Hoc were socially aware and not "afraid to blast such things as the stupidity of Canadian complacency in the Vietnam genocide to the high cost of cafeteria hot dogs." Mothersill said, "At the time Humber's was considered as one of the best journalism programs going. Much of that was due to McDayter. We spent much of our time at his kitchen table typing stories." McDayter said Coven was named in 1971 as a result of a conference on the occcult that was being held at the college, and a m.K I'lioio group of students decided to catch on to the idea at the time.

Journo history by Lara Thais King The Humber Journalism program has seen many changes since it began in 1968 with television, newspaper and radio courses. The college has seen newspapers such as AdHoc, Humdrum, Humber Happenings and of course Coven. Coven's first issue, an eight-page edition, made its debut Octo- ber 8, 1971. Since Coven began it has won several awards for general excellence, advertising and its contribution to the Student Government. Also in '71 , number's first two radio stations were created by the radio broadcasting program. CHBR and CHCR-FM were fol- lowed by HC 100 and now the college has CKHC 97.3, but it is still not heard throughout the college. It wasn't until 1972 that the separate magazine pathway was created. "It was the only magazine pathway in any university or college in Canada," said Jim Smith, past journalism co-ordinator. "And Ryerson only copied us about five years ago."
