AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
Thousands of people are in prison because of their beliefs. Many are
1
held without charge or trial. Torture and the deatH penalty are wide- spread. Furthermore, in many coun- tries, men, women and children have 'disappeared' after being taken into official custody. Others have been put to death without any pretense of legality. They have been selected and killed by governments and their agents. These abuses which are taking place in countries of widely-differing ideaologies de- mand an international response. The protection of human rights is a uni- versal responsibility. This is the fun- damental belief upon which the work of Amensty International is based. C.C.I. 's Amnesty International
Youth Group contributed to this hu- man rights work by writing over 100 letters on behalf of prisoners through- out the world and by putting on
events that allow the C.C.I. commun- ity to become aware of the human rights issue.

Lt.: When it came to paying attention to an- nouncements, Owen McDermid wished that he would have had all ears open when they announced, "We wish to remind you that there is to be no running in the halls!" It took several dozen stitches to close
his gash after missing the door and putting his hand through while in a hurry.
To the staff and students of C.C.I .. important announce- ments are a common occurence over the speakers. They are promptly heard at 9:15a.m. and again at 2:10p.m. In between those times, bulletins and posters are pro- minently displayed so that all well informed about up and coming events. For those of you who have never had the priviledge of speaking into the morning micro- phone, you are likely unaware that the announcements are generally made from Mr. Moore's office while the playing of the National Anthem is carefully timed by Mrs. Lantz in the main office. It has also come to attention that when we hear Mr. Moore ask us to "Please stand for the playing of our National Anthem", his voice is part of the tape. Mr. Redding made this amazing discovery when he couldn't understand how Mr. Moore could be mak- ing such a request when he knew he was in Barrie at the Board Office.
