As many as 60 students were unable to en-
roll in the English 100 course, while
another 69 students were unable to regis-
ter in Psychology 100. Other areas which
filled quickly, resulting in the turning
away of students, were: accounting, elec-
tronic data processing, criminology, math
and econamics.

Not tabulated in the report, were the
waiting lists for popular career programs
such as nursing, childcare, office admin-

istration, construction managemnt and hu :

man service worker.

Of the 577 registrants, 64.5 per cent said
they required the unavailable courses.
Only half of those were able to find same
kind of substitution, although these were
not necessarily adequate for requirements.

Research assistant Douglas Talling said
that he was able to obtain an 87.9 per
cent response to the survey which he said
was very good. However, he was concerned
that Sere ee oe een ai
show up in the results.

"The group of registrants which were
missed by the survey, and which may have
greatly changed the results, were those
who came to register for a course, found
it full, and left without completing the
questionnaire," ‘falling said.

 

NEW CAMPUS NOTES

The move of faculty, staff and students
to the Royal Avenue site, commenced in
earnest on Friday, November 5. During
the past week or ten days as staff or
faculty have occupied their new office
areas, telephones have been installed to
enable internal and external cammunica-
tion to take place with as little confu-
sion as possible.

 

Unhappily the new touch tone phones are
proving attractive to the pilfering
fringe.

Touch tone phones can only be operated
on a line suitable for reception of
touch tone dialing. These phones will
not function unless touch tone service
is added by the B.C. Telephone Co, at
additional cost to the consumer. These
phones, therefore, will not function as
a simple replacement for the normal dial

phone.

One further word of caution to all oc-
cupants of the new facility. The three
levels of parking beneath the building
contain space for approximately 680
vehicles. The price for parking, at
least till the end of November cannot
be argued with. It's free!! Please
ensure that all faculty, staff and stu-
dents park in this area rather than on
any of the access driveways to other
parts of the facility. A car belonging
to a student was towed from the driveway
to the library on Wednesday becuase it
Was necessary to create space for the
movers’ trucks. ‘The contractor's forces
are currently using the access drive-
ways to the cafeteria, scene shop and
Royal Avenue entrance. Please avoid
these areas to permit the work to proceed.
