We spent our summer working our tails off to pull together enough scratch to make it to Humber College. We passed up keggers, patio parties and Muskoka memories so our bank accounts could rise in late August, only to sink like a Russian sub at the hands of Humber's registrar's office. As our university and college roommates scratched their asses on their way to the John Monday morning, we rose above their taunts and name

calling to make it to class a week early. We are the brave indeed! But while we earned our bread away from Humber's hallowed halls, one courageous spirit remained to lead our beloved student council into a new era. Through hours and hours of meetings, one man lead a team of freedom fighters to make the dream of the Humbers' Student Federation a

iealit>-. His name is Toby Warnell, and as our new HSF president, he knows of the struggles we face In soaring tuition fees, textbook prices and the perils of parking!

As suggested in the HSF student planner, you may have felt the urge to wander into their office, and "get to know at least one member of your student government." So you pay them a visit and ask to shake the hand of your new president of your new HSF. The receptionist tells you to have a nice trip, because Toby's chasing rainbows and drinking Guinness in Ireland while the HSF goes through a directors nomination approaches. Even Chretien and Clinton deserve a break now and again, but while VP of Campus Life North Stephen Anastasi made the rounds, hosting last

Wednesday's Danko Jones concert at Caps, Warnell was enjoying an ill- timed vacation. For most of us, the only tangible evidence that some sort of student

government even exists is the distribution of a 76-page planner featuring thumbnail pictures of our representatives. And as the confusion over what The Humber Et Cetera is a publication of the HSF is - and why it replaced SAC - spreads, the presence of its leader Humber College School of Media Studies: during the fresh new days of the school year is a must. Nobody knew Office 231, 205 Humber College Blvd., Warnell was even gone, and that's kind of the point don't you think? Etobicoke, ON, M9W 5L9.

"Vintage is really hot," said Keri Marsh, fashion news director for Fashion Magazine. "And Toronto's a great city for vintage clothes." From pricey online retailers, like www.vintagecouture.com, to trendy shops in Kensington Market, vintage is definitely the way to go this fall. According to Marsh, boots are a very important part of your fall wardrobe. All types of boots, from stilettos to chunky heels are in. Cecilia Gallo, a second-year law clerk student, doesn't have a problem with that. "It's clefniitely platforms for me," Gallo said.

Aside troni the \intage, one of tills season's best looks for women is a veiy lady-like and };lanii)i()us appeal. "The hottest ti'ends are those that eome right off the runway," Marsh said. Most students can't afford to spend their hard-earned money at couture shops. On Gallo and her friends' list of favourite stores are Buffalo, Costa Blanca, Jacob and Club Monaco. "Not to worry," Marsh said. "Stores like Le Chateau and Club Monaco are pretty good at keeping up with trends." "But a really good bag is the key item this season. You should spend a lot of money on a good purse because it's the most important accessory," she said. Both Marsh and Gallo agreed that corduroy is making a big comeback this year, in pants, jackets, and even purses. Flared corduroys for both men and women can be found at tlie Gap, from S64 to $68. Marsh and Gallo did disagree on was jewelry. According to Marsh, silver, platinum and white gold is out. "The warmth of yellow gold" is in.

But Gallo and her friends insist that silver is their metal of preference. Male fashion doesn't change much from season-to-season. Luigi Cannavicci, a second- sear Packaging and Graphic Design student, said that his Nike runners are the most important things in his closet.
