Ottawa is riding high on a wave of support after its tough stance against foreign overfishing of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Last week armed Mounties boarded the Spanish trawler, Estai, arrested and charged her captain with overfishing turbot stocks. Fisheries Minister Brian Tobin did the right thing by forcefully halting the Spaniards. This action, however, has been interpreted by the European Union as an act of piracy. Two Spanish war- ships are patrolling our waters now, in case we seize another trawler. The Spanish are the pirates in this case,

not us, by ignoring the warning and still dropping their nets in water a thousand miles from home. Canadian trawlers do not go this far abroad. The Estai was also fishing with illegal webbing on its

nets, designed to catch anything in its path. When the fish were checked, 80 per cent were immature.

Canada has a 200 mile territorial limit that is to pro- tect our resources while apparently the European Union has an offshore limit of over 1200 miles. The Grand

Banks, one of the richest fish habitats in the world, is a part of the Continential shelf.

The shelf extends out past the 200 mile limit and is in the protruding parts called the nose, tail and Flemish Cap.

Canada's actions on the Atlantic is not about preserv- ing an absolutely neccesary food supply. Our fishery conservation laws are in place to avert an ecological dis- aster and try and save the dying East Coast fisheries Castro is nothing but a fugitive Industry. Why do you think the Spanish roam around everyone else's water? Because there's nothing in their own water. Everyone should just stay in their own bad

It's not often that one can say they're surrounded by greatness but here at Humber we are, and In this case collective greatness. Last weekend the men's basketball team won the

national collegiate title with an 87-81 victory over B.C.

The victory brought the Hawks their fourth national title in five years and solidified their dominance in Canadian

college basketball, but only 40 fans were there to see it.

Granted, the tournament was in Nova Scotia, and it

may have been a little far to travel, but lack of support is nothing new to Humber Sports teams. What more does a program, a winning proyiam, have to do to get sup- port? The Athletics department ought to be commended for assembling such an array of talent year after year. Athletic Director Doug Fox has put together a lineup that includes tournament MVP Steve McGregor, all-star Jason Daley and Mike Katz, who won coach of the year honors in the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA). What makes this achievement even more noteworthy is the fact a local radio station made mention of Humber 's tournament win, definitely putting the college on the sporting map. The team has done its part and

now it's our turn. But judging by the amount of apathy shown towards

college sports, it should take at least a fifth title for the students of this educational facility to finally show some appreciation. March 16, 1995 Humber Et Cetera

Sex was the specialty of the t day at Humber's Lakcshore cafeteria March 1. Renowned guest speaker Sue Johanson came to speak to a crowd of students. Best known as the host of the "Sunday Night Sex Show" on AM640, Johanson gave a lively and amusing talk about the many issues young people face today concerning sex and rela- tionships. Johanson has a show on Rogers Cable 10 called Talking Sex With Sue on Thursday evenings. She also has a book coming out in April called Sex, Sex And More Sex. Penny Apse, a health coun- sellor at Lakeshore, said she "wanted the students to have a healthy sexuality day so that people are healthy in their rela- tionships." Apse organized the one-day event with the help of the Lakeshore Health Clinic, Student Life and SAC. Booths giving out information and pamphlets on AIDS, sexual- ly transmitted dieases and rela- tionships, were also set up in the cafeteria to help promote the Johanson seminar. Johanson told her audience that sex needs to be talked about. "You are a sexual human being from the moment you are born," said Johanson. "You have to deal with it." She urged students to prac- tice safer sex", that means using a condom every time," she said. Johanson tackled even the 1
