The numbers are staggering. With a normal residence capacity of 1655 first year stu- dents, this year residences are stuffed beyond capacity with 2000 students. Although a variety of solutions to the prob- lem were offered, few were used, and this year's residence situation is less than desir- able. Originally, it was suggested that the University rescind first offers of admission and then offers of residence, however this solution was deemed to be "not an accept- able option" by the University administra- tion, says David McMurray, Dean of Students. Moreover, it was also suggested that Laurier look to external sources of housing. One solution, to rent a house on Bricker Avenue, close to Bricker Residence, was used and "mini Bricker" now houses around 20 students and a Don. Along the same lines it was suggested that Laurier use the CADE Comfort Inn located on Weber Street as an alternative source of housing. While the Comfort Inn solution was favored by some, it was eventually rejected. MATTHEW One of the bunkbeds within a new triple room. Except the room isn't new. It's old.

In Waterloo Region, there are two recycling collection programs: a Cart collection program for partici- pating apartments, condominiums, townhouses; and a weekly curbside Blue Box collection program for single family dwellings, semi- detached duplexes, smaller walk-up apartment buildings, and student lodging residences. Once you know which of the two collection pro- grams services your place of residence, the information below will help you sort and prepare materials properly for recycling.

Ska has grown its roots in swing and bop music and is said to be the soundtrack of independence, when Jamaica shook off the shackles of Britain's hold. It has an off beat sound led by horns with lots of minor chords. The rhythm has strong jazz and R&B influences. The word ska is condensed from the term skavoovee, slang for approval. Reggae was the next wave to wash over Jamaica and is arguably the most influential of all the country's sounds. Do the Reggay was released in August 1968 by Toots and the Maytals and was the first reggae album. The spelling was changed for reasons that are unclear, but it is said that 'reggae' comes from the word 'ragged', denoting a street vibration. Reggae's bass line is broken up and has shorter more pronounced note patterns than ska. As the essence of Jamaican music metamorphosed, rocksteady emerged. Simply stated, rocksteady is a steadier arrangement of reggae, with a more sinister and seduc- tive sound. This style of music was taken up by rude boys, which are a tribe of young men who, armed with a ratchet, styled themselves after the heroes and villains of cow- boy films.

This was not how things were planned. Two fumbles, two blocked punts, an intercep- tion, numerous dropped passes and a myri- ad of sloppy plays left Laurier's football team on the losing end of a 16-7 score this past Monday in a rare Labour Day start to the CIAU season. Offensive and special teams problems plagued the Hawks and even the outstand- ing play of the defense couldn't overcome the weaknesses exploited by Waterloo. The game, which despite being held at University Stadium was an away game for the Hawks, saw a good turnout. However, the Warrior fans seemed to greatly outnumber those of the Hawks.
