Students for Literacy

Students for Literacy is part of Frontier College which is a Canada- wide, volunteer-based literacy organization. We work with community organizations to run homework and reading programs for children and youth and also to run adult literacy programs.

We are looking for fun, enthusiastic people to become volunteer tutors in our community programs. Our program will train you and place you in a setting that works around your schedule.

October 3, we are holding a brief orientation session beginning at 7 PM. We will also be present at the Community Fair being held on Wednesday, September 28 in the SU Building. If you are interested in the possibilities, then drop by and visit us.

CFL... Cont. from page 11

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

After making the playoffs last year, Hamilton was expected to challenge in the East. The team got off to an 0-8 start, though, and sits in the CFL basement at 2-10. The one bright spot for Ticat fans is rookie RB Jesse Lumsden, who shattered Canadian Interuniversity Sport records at Western last year and made his CFL debut last week.

Prediction: 4-14, 4 in East

Montreal Alouettes

Call the Canadian Forces! The Als are under .500! Yes, it’s true. The perennial Grey Cup contenders have struggled mightily this season and currently stand at 5-6. Montreal’s defense has let them down time after time, and Anthony Calvillo hasn’t been his usual outstanding self. The Alouettes will be lucky to make the playoffs. Prediction: 9-9, 2" in East

Ottawa Renegades

The expansion “Gades looked like they’d finally turned the corner this year, challenging Toronto for the division lead until Week 6 or 7. Then the team lost four straight and coach Joe Paopao started fearing for his job. Running back Josh Ranek has been the only consistent bright spot on this team. Ottawa must win or face the axe.

Prediction: 7-11, 3" in East

Toronto Argonauts

| The defending Grey Cup champs have

looked good this year, and their offense finally seems to be on the right page. Damon Allen has played with the enthusiasm of a man halfhis age, and the defense and special teams units have been among the CFL’s strongest, as usual. The only stumbling block for the Argos will be the West champions. Prediction: 12-6, 1* in East

New Res... Cont. from page 15

“There has been discussion about how the financial arrangement will be made between the contractor and the university but it’s really premature to answer that question until we hit some significant milestones in the construction process,” said Braithwaite. “I think the construction company maxim has been sympathetic and understands the universities situation with students that had been displaced, but in the same breath we have to keep this project moving forward and not get hung up dealing with some legalities and so on.”

All the students currently living in Marion hall will have to move into the new residence, as it will no longer be used for a dorm after this semester. Those students living in Bernadine, Blanchard hall or the Browns Court. townhouses will be given the choice to move or stay where they are. __

“Students that live in browns court or students who were reassigned to Bernadine and Blanchard, that will be an option for them if they want to move back into the new residence,” said Braithwaite. “For the simple reason that a lot of them might be settled and very happy with their accommodations. They’ ll get first option to go in, but if they decide to stay I don’t see that being a problem, for either the student or the university.”

While some students have been enjoying their placement in Browns Court and the other residences, many students are still waiting for the construction to be finished, like first-year arts student Will Norcott.

‘A quarter of the way through August and they tell us it won’t be ready for October and then changed their mind that it won’t be ready until January and they left students scrambling to find a place to live.”

“It’s kind of stupid, they put all this hype about it being open for the beginning of the school year,” said Norcott. “If it’s not ready soon I’m

gonna burn this mother to the ground! (laughing).”

“Ts hype flammable?” Asks fellow first-year arts student Devin George. “Living in Bernadine isn’t exactly what I was hoping for, but given the circumstances I’m getting by as best I can.”

If any students are interested in living in the new residence when itis completed, Braithwaite says there is still some availability and students should apply now.

““We’ve actually had several inquiries just in the past week of students, would there be availability to move in after Christmas,” said Braithwaite. “The answer to that is yes, I expect that there would be availability after Christmas, but we’re already starting to receive applications for the January semester.”

Tours will be offered of the new residence to prospective tenants and student groups when it is ready.
