The Board
of DiI-ectors
The differece between
NW and a residence is
YOU! You help decide
about everything includ-
ing who sits on the Board
of Directors. The Board is
comprised of 12 members
who are elected by the
mernbership at the Annual
General Meeting. Each
serves a 2 year term. 6
positions are filled each
year, so there are always 6
experienced members on
the Board allowing for
continuity of administra-
tion.
The 12 elected members
represent you, and your
best interests, during their
term. If you have a beef,
want new activities, or just
want to know about eve-
rything and anything that
has to do with Wycik, they
are the people to ask.
Anyone who is a member
can run for the Board -
especially YOU. All you
need to do is declare
yourself in the running and
have a nomination form
for the most SOCially popu-
lar person - or the most
involved co-oper. The
Board of Directors, having
the decisional power,
oversees every aspect of
the co-op. It only has to
answer to its members
because Wycik is com-
pletely independant from
any school or institution.
Its guidelines are the by-
laws, which members can
change at the Annual
Meeting, and the govern-
ment's co-op act, which it
has less say

DO IT.
FOR YOUR
HEALTH!
by Brenda E. Maclellan
Eat right, exercise, drink
lots of water, get enough
sleep and volunteer! Re-
cent scientific studies
reveal that volunteering
may result in a healthier
and longer life. According
to an article in American
Health Magazine, "New
research shows that doing
good may be good for
your heart, your immune
system-and your overall
vitality./I
If this isn't a big enough
payoff consider some of
the following skills you may
acquire: management,
organizational, communi-
cation, writing and social.
Impressive on a resume,
volunteering will give you
that competitive edge
when facing the uncertain
job market of today.

You, who are just moving

Pat Heffron "Red" is our
caretaker who is also a
living Neill-Wycik institu-

of humour. He's seen it all,
and will likely be here in
the year 2000 when the
rest of us are replaced by
a computer chip. Mark
Skinner and larry Wall are
two members of mainte-
nance crew who are shy
retiring types - just too
bashful to be persuaded
to do their own writing.
They have, however, been
spotted responding to the
lonely cry of a member in
need, and once located,
can easily be as friendly as
Bruce or John. L1

OUR
SECURITY
TEAM
If you absolutely must walk
alone at night, the safest
place is Yonge Street,
between Dundas and
Bloor. Walking on the
brightest side of the street
you'll find lots to look at:
street vendors, prostitutes,
homeless people -it's
quite the scene!
Places to stay away from
after dark or on quiet days
include Allen Gardens (at
the corner of Jarvis and
Gerrard across from Har-
vey's) and other places
east along Gerrard,
Carlton and Dundas.
Walking home from the
subway is okay too, just
don't take shortcuts
through parking lots and
stay on the main streets.
Church and Carlton aren't
too bad, but there are
fewer people in that area
at night.
So remember, on those
nights when your neigh-
bour's stereo has
<>$
pounded on your brain
too long, or you just want
to be alone, it's okay to
go for a walk. You'll get to
know the area quickly and
in no time you'll be assur-
ing people at home that
life in the big city isn't as
scary as it sounds. Per-
sonal security is mainly a
matter of common sense.
Always lock the door,
even if you're just going
down the hall.
Keep your unit door shut
(it locks automatically).
We have lots of nice peo-
ple in this building but
there are always a few
bad apples in the bunch.
History has shown that
there is one dishonest type
for every 100 members.
These are in addition to
the few who manage to
infiltrate front lobby secu-
rity. A locked door is your
best protection. Your room
key is also the front door
key. Shortly after move-in,
security locks the front
door in the evenings and
on weekends. This pro-
tects us from unwanted
visitors. Security may be
called away from the desk
26
and unable to let you in.
So carry your keys with you
wheneer you leave your
room. It is co-op policy not
to allow anyone else into
members' rooms. If you
wish to allow someone
else into your room you
must leave a letter with
security. This applies to all
cable, telephone installa-
tions or deliveries.

Three times a year the co-
op has room checks. With
advanced warning secu-
rity views all rooms in the
building. If you are home
they will be asked to be
shown about: if you're not
they'll use a pass key and
enter your room, have a
quick look around, lock up
and leave. The purpose
of this check is to deal
with problems in your
room or unit-usually relat-
ing to maintenance.
Twice yearly we change
room and unit locks. Neill-
Wycik's security team is
composed of co-op's
members. They are
trained in fire safety and
first aid. Security are here
for your safety and well-
being. They control the
entrance to this building
and screen visitors.
Security personnel are
not tyrants. They will try to
answer your questions to
the best of their ability.
They also distribute the
keys to the co-op facilities
when the office is closed.
You will find security per-
sonnel at the front desk
after office hours. In case
of an emergency after
2:00 a.m., call 977
OUR
SUMMER
HOTEL
Every summer we
open our home to the
world. Neill-Wycik College
Hotel attracts tourists from
around the globe by
offering affordable acco-
modations in the heart of
downtown Toronto.
From Early May to
late August, people from
Canada, the United
States, and 60 other coun-
tries - including Japan,
Bulgaria, Germany and
Australia - flock to Neill-
wycik.
Z1
Ten floors of the resi-
dence (approximately 190
rooms) the kafe and the
lobby are transformed into
a hotel which houses
thousands of weary,
budget-conscious travel-
lers. The hotel staff sweats
over 230 beds, 60 toilets
and 80 sinks each and
every day. Front desk staff
checks in, councils and
offers warm smiles to thou-
sands of guests, come hell
or 1,000 groups of scream-
for the co-op and pro-
vides many benefits for
the members. This busi-
ness usually makes a major
contribution to the co-op's
budget annually and
hopefully will contribute
even more in the years
ahead.
While these financial
contributions are of sub-
stantial value , Ted
Hanmer, our General
Manager, feels by far the
greatest contribution the
hotel makes to the co-op
is in it's opportunity to
provide employment,
and thus help in the per-
sonal development of
members and future staff.
Over the years a notice-
able number of Board
Executive and Committee
members once worked in
our hotel. Ted says Neill-
Wycik would be a socially
poorer place had it never
been a summer hotel.
Novv for the most
crucial reason for having a
summer hotel. It blocks off
from May 1 until August 3 1
ten floors of multiple units.
This "blocking off" allows us
to do multi-unit upgrades
without disrupting the
members, and it guaran-
tees 210 student spaces
every September 1st.
Without the hotel, the Co-
op might graduallly drift
away from its original
mandate to be a student
co-op.
The question of how
relevant the Hotel is to
Neill-Wycik has fuelled
many heated debates
among staff and co-op
members. Last year there
were three incidents of
controversy between
hotel management and
some members of Neill-
Wycik. There was a pro-
posal made by some
Wycik members to do
away with the hotel, how-
ever the majority 0 f the
members voted to con-
tinue its operation.
Debate 0 n the hotel
is posponed for four years
from now. Hopefully, this
period will be spent investi-
gating the assets and
liabilities of the hotel in
regards to co-operative

Questions
&
Answers
Q:How do I get access to
the computer room, bil-
liards room, dark room,
the barbecue, and all the
other neat facilities that go
along with the building?
A:Make sure you have a
N.W. I.D. card and watch
for notices throughout
Septemer for Core Group
orientation nights. The
leader of each facility will
brief you on the equip-
ment and operating rules,
then give you a sticker for
your I.D. card. You may
have to sign a waiver form
stating N.W. is not respon-
sible for injuries, and that
you understand how to
use the equipment. When
you want to use one of
the facilites, just sign out
the key at the front desk
with your I.D. card. In
some facilities such as the
woods hop , you must first
pass a brief test. If some-
29
one else has already
signed out the facility, you
must exchange I.D. cards
at the front desk not just
exchange the facility key.
This way, only one person
at a time is responsible for
the facility.
Q:What household sup-
plies are available for
each unit, and where do I
get them? What about a
vacuum cleaner?
A:Sponges, mops, strip-
ping soap, wax, a broom,
dust pan, paiL Ajax, light
bulbs, window clean, tub
'n tile cleaner, garbage
bags and a vacuum
cleaner can be found in
the "E" unit on each floor
of the Gerrard Wing. The
supplies are located inside
a closet, but you'll have to
knock to get into the unit.
Some units will ask that
you sign out the vacuum,
since this is the most com-
monly asked for item. The
vacuums are only
cleaned once a year,
unless it breaks, so use
common sense when
cleaning the morning after
the night before!
Q:What if something goes
wrong, after hours, and I
need to call mainte-
nance?
A: It depends on the im-
mediacy of the problem.
Security can get you a
plunger if that's all you
need. They'll also decide
if the problem can wait
until i-he next work day or
call maintenance at
home to come in f it's an
emergency.
Q:Does maintenance do
painting and fill holes in
walls?
A:Yes. See Mark Skinner in
the maintenance depart-
ment in the basement.
You can also fill out a
request form up in the
office explaining what it is
you would like done, and
Mark will notify you if it's
possible or not, and when
it can be done.
Q:1f I receive a care
package that is too big
for my unit mail box slot,
and I'm not around during
business hours to pick it
up, how do I get it?
A:Themail sorter will notify
you that a package has
arrived. Bring the notice
upstairs during business
hours, or sign the back
authorizing someone spe-
cific, like a roommate, to
pick it up for you.
30
Q:I heard there is another
laundry room on the fifth
floor. True or false?
A:False. Ha! Tricked ya!
There is another laundry
room, but it's on the fourth
floor of the Martin's Wing.
It tends to be used less
than the larger one on the
22nd floor, as it does not
have an adjoining
T.V.room.
Q:How do I get tickets for
something on at the
Skydome? What about the
other venues in town?
A: If it's a popular concert,
it will be announced on
various radio stations as to
the date and time of
ticket sales. Call Ticket-
master. You can do the
credit card thing over the
phone, or stand in line for
tickets. For other cultural
events taking place at
some of the clubs and
theatres in town, read
NOW Magazine or the
Toronto Star's "What's On"
section for details, or go to
Five Star Tickets at Yonge
and Dundas for informa-
tion. See the City Directory
for event and ticket infor-
mation phone numbers.
Q:Why do they call the
party room in the base-
ment "the Steamer"?
A:Rumour has it that it was
nicknamed the Steamer
because when it gets full
of dancing partyers the
humidity causes little wa-
ter droplets to form on the
walls. The floor gets slip-
pery as well (with a little
help from clubs and
drunks). It's a little like
taking a steam bath with
your clothes on. You
should know, however,
that an air conditioning
system now keeps the
place dry - as long as
someone remembers to
turn the thing on.
Q:How can I get to the
airport fast and cheap?
A:The easiest way to get
there is by taking the Grey
Coach Airport Express bus,
it leaves the Delta Chelsea
Hotel at twenty-minute
intervals past the hour. The
3\
Delta Chelsea is located
on Gerrard, just west of
Yonge. Because of nu-
merous stops and traffic,
you should budget an
hour for the trip. A
cheaper way is to take
the subway to Islington
Station, then join the Grey
Coach bus from there.
Q:My friend needs a place
to park his car while visit-
ing me for the weekend.
Does Wycik have any
visitor's parking spots?
A: No. Guest parking is
non-existent, unless you
can find something on the
street, which tends to fill
up fast when something's
happening at Maple Leaf
Gardens. Although expen-
sive, a porkade may be
your only alternative.
Q:What do I do with all the
accumulated this month?
What do you mean I
shouldn't throw them
down the chute? What is
the chute and where is it?
Newspapers are definitely
recyclable. They go in the
blue box next to the gar-
bage chute, whcih is
found next to the \I F" unit.
Garbage bags can go
down the chute, but
please save your bottles,
cans and plastiC contain-
ers in your unit blue box,
and empty it into the blue
boxes on the ground floor .
Q:1f I rent a movie and
show i in the Steamer with
others in the building, can
I charge admission?
A:Those business sudents
are always trying to make
a buck! Can I at least get
reimbursed? If you want to
see movies in the Steamer I
contact a video core
group member, or talk to
in the office. Sunday night
is movie night and the
CDC will see that you are
reimbursed for rental
charges. Admission must
be free.
Q:How do I get a phone?
What about cable TV?
A:For a phone, go to the
Bell Phone Centre, south
end, lower level of the
Eaton Centre Vonge &
