THE CORD WEEKLY America the beautiful November 21st, 1988 will live in the memories of Cana- dians as the day that Brian Mulroney was re-elected; the day that Canada sealed its future and sold itself to the United States. What may we expect now that we're part of the great big happy smiling American family, with George Bush playing Ward Cleaver to Brian Mulroney's June (and a special guest appearance by John Crosbie as Lumpy Rutherford)? Well, since we're now all the same country, unlimited trade should be possible. Here's what the Cord sees as in the works for Canada and the U.S. Toronto the Good for Des Moines, Iowa: In terms of dull- ness, Des Moines probably has T.O. beat, but at least those loveable lowans aren't smugly arrogant over their city's termi- nal insipidness. As well, we might be able to pick up a couple of smaller places in such a deal — say, Fort Lauderdale and Venice Beach. Less Pricy Foodstuffs: Cheaper apple pie should result for Canadians, as the notorious "Grandma Smith's Tariff' will now be removed. In turn, Canada will remove the heinous and totally irrational "MacKenzie Tariff' which had turned back bacon into a luxury item in the United States, consumed only in nouveau cuisine diners. Dan Quayle for Don Mazankowski: They're both non- entities, so who would miss them? In fact, why not open up free trade negotiations with other nations in the Western hemi- sphere by shipping both of them off to Cuba in exchange for a box of good cigars? New music: Maybe we can trade for a better national anthem while we're at it. Since the U.S. is split over whether or not to drop The Star-spangled Banner and adopt America the Beautiful as its anthem, and Canadians don't know the words to either version O Canada, we could offer to take The Star-spangled Banner (still plenty of years left in it!) off our American buddies' hands.

Milchem, who has worked with Toronto bands White Noise, Boing Boing Boing and Vital Sines, joined Cash's band in August of this year, and is considered to be the best drummer in Toronto. The variety of styles that go into Cash's sound are quite diverse, yet once combined, create a melange of music that can only be described as extremely palatable.

SPORTS Pucksters Thump Division Leaders By Brian Owen

After several frustrating losses that have kept the Hawkey Hawks from reaching their optimum potential in the OUAA Central Division standings, the Hawks put together two impressive victories, over the Central Division leading York Yeomen and West Division leading Windsor Lancers last week, to raise their record to .500. Both games were immensely important for the pucksters, as they downed the Yeomen 6-1, while ousting Windsor 5-3 at the Bubble. Over the past several seasons a .500 record would never have been uttered in the same breath with the name Hawks, but through the loss of several key players, this year's edition has had to settle for somewhat less than normal performance.

Laurier 6 York 1

Laurier travelled to Toronto last Thursday evening to encounter the usually-powerful York squad, playing what coach Wayne Gowing considered the Hawks' best outing of hockey this season. "Against York, you can't have any letdowns and we didn't. We played our best 60 minutes this season." The York side, however, was without two key players who were sitting out games due to suspensions. In light of this, Gowing also commented that the Hawks may have caught the Yeomen on an off- night. Whatever the York problems, though, beating the Yeomen does not occur everyday, and the Hawks should relish the win. During the first period, Laurier opened up a two goal lead on the Yeomen. The second period saw both teams exchange goals, allowing Laurier to maintain its two goal lead, 3-1. The floodgates opened in the third for the Hawks, as they notched their final three goals on the evening to round the scoring at 6-1. The Hawks' reputed big guns accounted for all the scoring on this night. Greg Puhalski notched two markers as did solid winger Mike fancy meeting you here! Crunching body checks were the order of the day on Saturday as the Well, Maurice. Tom Jackson and Dan Rintche chipped in singles for the Hawks hosted the Windsor Lancers. This is just one shining example of how Laurier greeted their Hawks. Jackson also had three assists for a fourpoint night. OUAA rivals. Cord Photo by Brian Craig. Continued on page 21

Veron's the Best By Scott Morgan

Wilfrid Laurier's Veron Stiliadis won the J.P. Metras Trophy for the Outstanding Lineman in all of Canadian collegiate football last week at the CIAU Awards banquet preceding the Vanier Cup championship game. The two-time all-Canadian defensive lineman from Scarborough beat out nominees from the WIFL, AUAA and OQIFC to take home the award. Stiliadis' quickness, intensity on the field and pass-rushing ability are his key assets. At 6' 2" and 240 lbs, Stiliadis anchored a strong defensive line this season to help carry the Hawks into the OUAA Yates Cup final against Western. Veron will likely be trying out for the Toronto Argonauts under the Dome next year, as they possess his draft rights. However, he still has another year of eligibility left at Laurier. Because of a knee injury that he suffered in an exhibition game in his second year, he missed Syed Mohammed OWIAA all of the 1986 season.

By Dean Boles

Both the Laurier Men's and Women's swimmers were active this past weekend, November 18 and 19. The men ventured to the Univer- sity of Toronto for a 12 team invitational tourney, while the women journeyed to McMaster for a 10 team invitational meet. On the men's side, the Golden Hawks were faced with some stiff competition. Despite this tough opposition, two Hawks were able to come home with excellent placings. Dave Smith was sixth in the 200 metre backstroke, while Peter Stratford placed eighth in the 200 metre breaststroke. The Lady Hawks fared much better. Anne Ottenbrite copped first in the 100 metre breaststoke. With this placing, Ottenbrite qualified for the CIAU championships in March. As well, she placed second in the 200 metre Individual Medley, while grabbing fourth in the 100 metre freestyle. Lenore Doucette won the 100 metre butterfly, was second in the 200 metre breaststroke and took third in the 50 metre freestyle. She just missed the CIAU cut by 4/10ths of a second in the butterfly. Kathy Coats rounded out the Laurier highlights with a sixth in the 200 metre backstroke. All Hawk swimmers are recuperating from their excellent per- formances, in preparation for a meet at Brock on December 2.

The Lady and Golden Hawk swimming teams are poised to stroke their way into the hearts of Laurier fans this year. Here, John Rehill catches his breath. Cord Photos by Janet Smith.
