SAULTE STE. MARIE, Mich. (AP) — You've had your fill, you want to kill. You hide your ears, but it's still so shrill. The words are wrong but used with zeal. Who ya gonna call? Wordbusters.

They ain't ‘fraid of no nouns. They ain't ‘fraid a no verbs.

They're the Unicorn Hunters, and feel free to call on them, but don't call them “busters”. That's one suffix they're out to bust.

All varieties of “busters” came into vogue in imitation of the popular movie Ghostbusters, and its one instance of flattery that must be stopped, say the Unicorn Hunters, self-appointed guardians of the English language who seek to banish the overworked and overstated.

“ahatomy of a ” sa, Unicorns. “ world and then-applied to almost everything.”

Having endured inflationbusters, crimebusters and a variety of sportsbusters (baseball's National League

playoffs had both Goosebusters and Cubbusters) the Unicorn Hunters decreed that “busters” should be banned.

The 10th annual Dishonor List, released Tuesday, was based on more than 3,000 nominations from as far away as Japan and Saudi Arabia, said Rabe, a journalism instructor at Lake Superior State College, where the Hunters are based.

“There were hundreds of nominations of ‘mandate,’ and not all from disappointed Democrats,” said Rabe. “I sensed a general feeling that all politicans are using. the stronger ‘mandate’ when less forceful words would suffice.”

Peter Thomas, chief herald for the Hunters, which claims a worldwide membership of 30,000 said the club followed the suggestion of Joseph Dary of Toronto, a foreign desk editor at The Canadian Press, and banished “Star Wars” unless used in refrence to a trilogy of a science fiction films.

The term is misleading when used to describe a

space-based military defence system, Thomas said.

Criticism ~not bad-news all the time

VANCOUVER (CP) — A Vancouver management con- sultant has been leading seminars which rebut the commonly held belief that criticism is always bad and should be avoided.

“It’s a fact of life in the business world,” said Lynda Wager of Mowatt, Wager and Associates. “In fact, how well you deal with criticism is one of the .things manage- ment looks for. They want people who can keep their professional cool.”

Wager said women have a more difficult time than men

in dealing with criticism.

“Men seem to fiave a stronger sense of organiza- tional astuteness,” she said. “They are more aware of what the rules are in cor- porations. They are more able to keep criticism focused on what they did, rather than who they are.”

tu ple use the criticism to rein- force their low self-esteem while others become defen- sive, she said. It’s not uncom- mon for women to meet criti- cism with tears.

They get ‘F’ in geography

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Test results show more than 90 per cent of Univ ersity of North Carolina students have an “appalling” ignorance of geography, with some even believing the Soviet Union is in Central America.

“Truly these are depress. ing statistics,” said Richard Kopec, chairman of the Geog: raphy Department at the UNC-Chapel Hill.

“For a country expected to provide world leadership and whose social matrix is inex. tricably woven into world af fairs, we are amazingly un. informed about geography.”

Kopee administered | to 1,900 students a test similar to one designed 35 years ago by the New York Times, which the newspaper at the time said disclosed an “ap- palling” lack of geographical knowledge.

Kopec said

Mute man can talk once again

OTTAWA (CP) — After 47 years of muteness, 88-year- old Jim Todd can finally call up a friend and say hello.

The Ottawa man communi. cated through written notes for almost half a century af- ter his cancerous larynx was removed in 1937. But he read last year about a new device that allows laryngectomy pa- tients to speak again by fun- nelling air from the lungs into the esophagus, where it vi brates to make sound.

Todd had an operation last summer to fit him with the $21 device.

“I never thought the day would come when Jim would call me on the telephone,” said John Bray, 64, a friend for 30 years.

dents fared significantly worse than the students 35 years ago.

“Fewer than half of the 1,875 students knew that Al- aska and Texas are our two largest states, and only about one of every five knew that Rhode Island and Delaware are the smallest,” he said.

MISPLACES SOVIETS

“Less than seven per cent of those tested could name three,of the 28 countries in Africa lying south of the Sahara Desert and north of the Republic of South Af. rica,” he said. “Three of every four students could not name even one in this group.”

Among the countries throught by some to separate Nicaragua from Panama were the Soviet Union and Cuba. Costa Rica is the cor- rect answer.

North Carolinians or to indict our educational systems, but to link our state with the nationwide deficiency in geo- graphic said.

Rookie leads Flyers to victor

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Todd Bergen, nervous about playing in his first National Hockey League game, found the cure for the butterflies in his stomach.

; The rookie centre scored two goals, including the winner, Tuesday night as Philadelphia Flyers defeated Vancouver Canucks 5-3 at the Spectrum.

A day earlier, Bergen, 22, had been promoted from the Flyers’ American Hockey League affiliate in Hershey, Pa.

He said he was “just glad to get called up” and was “so nervous” about playing for the Flyers.

“The first goal calmed me down a little bit,” said — a six-foot-three, 190-pounder from Prince Albert,

jask.

Bergen’s initial goal, with eight seconds left in the second period, enabled Philadelphia to regain the lead at 3-2. Teammate Dave Poulin's centring pass from behind the net hit the back of the right post and bounded out in front, where Bergen put it over Vancouver goalie Richard Brodeur.

Stan Smy] then tied the score by sliding a rebound from the right point past Flyers goaltender Pelle Lindbergh at 5:24 of the third.

SCORES WINNER

Bergen scored the winner at 11:22 of the third period when he skated the puck out from behind the net and fired a wrist shot past Brodeur’s stick side.

The Canucks had broken a scoreless tie at 7:53 of the second period on a power play, when Doug Halward’s wrist shot from the right circle bouficed off Lindbergh to Tony Tanti, who smacked the rebound into the empty net.

The Flyers tied it less than a minute later on Brian Propp’s wrist shot over Brodeur’s right shoulder from five feet.

Ron Sutter gave Philadelphia a 2-1 lead at 11:54 of the

period on a power play. He found a rebound of a Lindsay Carson shot in a maze of players and slid the puck past Brodeur.

Thirty seconds later, Moe Lemay blasted a 20-foot shot

to Lindbergh's right to knot the score at 22. Z After Bergen’s two goals, Poulin gave the Flyers an

IMPRESSES COACH Flyer coach Mike Keenan was impressed by his newest

“We saw a lot of scoring ability in Bergen,” Keenan said. “He's big, but he has good hands and can shoot. “We see a lot of progress in him and he earned his

chance.” .

Morris favors the two Al- berta schools, Trail, and the Rockers as the teams to ad- vance to the semi-finals after that it's an unknown.

“The Calgary schools that have attended the Rocker Invitational in recent years have all been very strong. I expect John Deifenbaker High School to be from the same mould” said Morris.
