Mark Baker, student president at the school, had earlier recommended a race-relations department to deal with the issue. We need it to sort out differences so they don't escalate to this point, Baker, a Grade 13 student, said yesterday. He is being credited for defusing last week's crisis by going on the school's public address system.

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.

Won in court: Patrick Cudahy sits in his 1980 Cadillac Elorado, looking spiffy now after three years of fighting to get his car in reasonable working order. His battle culminated in a District Court ruling last month that his new car was actually a used one. The court ordered the dealer pay various damages and Cudahy's legal expenses.

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.
