Along for the ride: Editor Max Crittenden, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, rides through the park on his electrically powered wheelchair scooter with his two poodles. Crittenden had formerly relied on a manual push chair, but fatigue made it difficult for him to go far in it.

Prof. Ted Mann, right, poses with his night class at Atkinson College, York University. These adult students, who are studying the sociology of social change, are not only studying the theory but becoming involved in social change themselves. Their class project this winter is to go out into the community and try to persuade people who never thought they could attend university that they possibly could. Teaching assistant Al Listiak is seated next to Prof. Mann in picture.

Last summer, he sold encyclopedias. This summer, university student Mark Dingman is selling himself - as the first prize in an unusual raffle. Dingman 21, of Toronto, has decided to raffle himself - or more precisely, 16 hours of his time - to make money for school. I wanted to run my own business. This took minimum capitalization and had minimal risk, should it fail, said Dingman, a McGill University student. And it seems like a good skill to learn, to sell yourself. Dingman is going door-to-door with his Student Slaves raffle and a very professional pitch. Tickets go for $1.99 each (or three for $5) and there are 200 in each draw. The first raffle is scheduled for Tuesday and the winner gets Dingman for 16 hours to do anything from cleaning ovens to fixing eavestroughs.

On the move: Student Joe Costa, 18, bones up on a course during his 45-minute bus trip to and from Bloor Collegiate every school day from the Dufferin-Wilson area. The quality of education of Bloor makes the travelling worthwhilek, he says. I'd rather not go to a technical school.

But not for us: The Royal Ontario Museum's chief archeologist, Dr. A. Douglas Tushingham, points out part of Iran's royal collection from a book he co-authored. If they were to go on sale, the ROM would not be in the market for the priceless treasure. It couldn't even afford the sparkle from one of these emeralds, he said.
