The plan includes various options on student labor, imposing a surcharge on damaged items in dormitories and allowing student to do their own painting. In addition, proposed options to reduce the $374 fee for University run dining halls, include deleting meat from breakfast meals and ice cream from lunches. Increases to raise the quality of service at the halls included extending the meal hour until 7 p.m. serving steak once a week, initiating a mandatory weekend meal plan, and implementing a weekend meal plan on the first week end of finals. Student input at the meeting indicated that deleting the ice cream would result in a wave of complaints because many students eat only ice cream for lunch because of undesirable VATICAN CITY — Schoolchildren accompanied by nuns play In St. Peter's Square while menus.

  • Wayne Gretzky
    SPORTING LEGENDS: WAYNE GRETZKY SPORT: ICE HOCKEY COMPETITIVE ERA: 1978 - 1999 Wayne Douglas Gretzky, OC (born January 26, 1961) is a former professional ice hockey player and current head coach and part owner of the Phoenix Coyotes. Born in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, he is known as The Great One, and considered by many to be the greatest player of all time. Taught by his father Walter, Gretzky was seen as a classic prodigy. At age 6 he was skating with 10-year-olds. At 10 he scored 378 goals and 120 assists in 85 games, and the first story on him was published in the Toronto Telegram. At 14, playing against 20- year-olds, he left Brantford to further his career. He also signed with his first agent. He played one year in the Ontario Hockey League, at the age of 16, with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. There he began wearing the number 99 on his jersey. He had wanted 9 - for his hero Gordie Howe - but it was already being worn by another teammate. At Coach Muzz MacPherson's suggestion Gretzky settled on 99. The next year (1978-79) he signed with the Indianapolis Racers of the World Hockey Association (WHA) as an underaged player. The NHL did not allow the signing of players under the age of 18 (nor does now), but the WHA had no rules regarding such signings. Nelson Skalbania, the owner of Indianapolis Racers, signed the 17 year old future superstar, Wayne Gretzky to, at that time, a whopping personal contract worth between $1.125 and 1.75 million US over 4 to 7 years.
