If you could be anyone in the world, who would you be? What a stupid question. It's also a very common one. It implies two very dangerous presumptions: one, that people are generally unhappy with who they are (dangerous because it might be true), and two, that there are people out there who we might actually look up to (dangerous because it might not be true). Let's focus on the latter idea: it basically says that there are no role models for us. A depressing concept, but not nearly as depressing as the idea that people don't like themselves. Oddly enough, the two may be connected: if you have a role model to emulate, you see the positive characteristics of the model in yourself. That is good. Without one, it's all up to you. So where are all our role models? Parents these days are, for the most part, pretty horrible role models. The two people in each of our lives who should be looked up to, emulated, and cherished for the valuable lessons they teach us are rapidly becoming people to get the hell away from as soon as possible. (When's the last time you called home, not THE for money, but just to say hi?) It's hard to say why parents are so bad now, or even to know if they're any CORD worse than they used to be and we're just more cognizant of their faults these days, but it's a pretty safe bet A Wilfrid Laurier University Student Publication that most parents are poor role models.

Kitchener, Ontario N2E 3G4 __ (In other words, we don'tlxlknow yet.) THE CORD THURSDAY, JULY 18.1 1 NEWS 7 Construction: stories and photos Waiting list Michael van Bodegom The Cord The note read: Mike; For the article on the new residence Andrew Berczi said to speak to Wilgar about it. Wilgar said to speak to Fred Nichols. Call Fred Nichols to make an appointment to speak to him. He will be in at 3:00 today, [signed] Cathy-Jo Noble.

Despite the tales, predictions, and even articles in the Cord, not all first-year students will get into residence this year. There is, in fact, a waiting list of over 200 students. Dean of Students Fred Nichols' dream for fifteen years has been to have rooms for all first-year students who wanted to live in residence. His greatest disappointment with the new building on campus, which has 300 beds, is that it "still isn't enough." Nichols has received complaints from students who claim that brochures and other advertising guaranteed residence. While the Dean said that no such literature exists, he does sympathize with these students, some of whom have turned down other universities where they were guaranteed a bed on-campus. In fact, according to Nichols, this is part of reason for such a long waiting list: far more students are accepting Laurier's offer of admis- sion than the school had expected. This higher confirmation level means that more first-year students than planned will be here in the fall. With 58 men and 158 women on the waiting list, is there any chance that they will all still get into residence? "Definitely not," said Nichols. He had been at a meeting earlier in the day, where other plans were discussed. The immediate problem is the in-coming first-year students. WLU has been in conference with the owner of the apart- ment building at King and Ezra and has worked out a deal of soi '3. In return for encouraging students to rent from the building, they have agreed to keep aside two or three floors exclusively for the Laurier frosh. Dean Nichols explained that the apartments in this building are

laid out similarly to the new residence - four apartments, two washrooms and a common area - and with whole floors of Laurier students together, the students will still receive some of the "residence experience". For the future, Laurier is already considering other plans. Nichols said that previously they had been considering purchasing the King and Ezra building and may have to consider this again. Other options include buying more land and doing more construction, or other deals like the one they have struck with the building at King and Ezra.

"Well, I've never played in a bubble before" seemed to be the quote of the day at Waterloo Arena on Saturday, June 22 for the five bands participating in day two of the Sounds of Summer Festival. The threat of rain moved the entertainment inside once again but that didn't discourage the crowd from coming out and enjoying the music.
