Students often have a tough choice between paying their dues and paying their bills. Many students, who have had an internship, say the experience was positive, but when some employers "ask" the intern to work a few extra hours, until a student is putting in 30 hours a week, employers aren't benefactors - they're exploiters.

When work becomes exploitation and a student's goodwill is taken advantage of, students should shout until their throats are hoarse that the fundamental issue of fairness must be addressed. In addition, students who come from upper to middle class homes are likely the only ones who can afford to volunteer 40 or more hours a week in the summertime. Most students must work at full-time paying summer jobs to be able to pay for school in the fall. We live in a society already divided by race and inequality, intern- ships are a contributing factor to class division by further segregating the haves from the have nots. ^^ Clearly, this is an area that should be monitored by the Ministry of Labor. There may not be a easy answer to the division internships cause, but it's a problem that definitely deserves our attention. SAC opens vault

According to Martin, shows such as this highlight the fact that the products necessary to create a wide variety of styles are now in abun- dance. The show featured four major manufactures - Isoplus, Bantu, Elasta QP and Revlon Professional Products (the only Canadian repre- sentative). Charles Davis, a representative for Elasta QP, said he likes shows like these where both stylists and the general public can attend the same show.

"This type of show is good," said Davis. "The stylists get to ask specif- ic questions about techniques, and the general public gets their need addressed." According to Davis, people most- ly ask about specific hair problems they are having or about how to use chemicals on their hair, at home. Nicole Smellie, the fashion show co-ordinator for this event, said, "The fashion show previews the new trends for spring in hair, clothes and makeup."
