METRIC

 

 

 

Since Canada is 'going metric’, Principal

begin to use the numeric date and time
method.

RE: Request for Reserve Lists

The deadlines for submitting re-
quests for the placement fo items on
Reserve are:
April 24, 1978 for the Summer/78 It
semester.
August 10, 1978 for the Fall/78
semester.

The reserve forms are available at
the circulation desk in each campus
library. Please give complete informa-
tion on the forms to ensure quick pro-
cessing.

We wish to process the majority of
the Reserves before the start of the
semester. This enables us to respond to
emergency requests and the requests of
sessional faculty. If the deadline is
not met, processing could take up to.
three weeks from the date that the
request for Reserve forms are submitted.

FROM: Personnel Development Committee
RE: Smoking Questionnaire

Questionnaires were made available at the
February 23-24 Personnel Development

Days to ascertain the consensus about
smoking. This was the form:

SMOKING QUESTIONNAIRE
(for future Development Day
Planning)

1. Do you smoke? Yes ( ) No( )
2. Do you think smoking should be
allowed during College-wide meetings?
Yes ( ) No (

Here are the results:

1. Do you smoke? Yes (11) No (49)
2. Smoking allowed: Yes (5)* No (55)
*2 of the 5: in a specified area

 

A response of 60 would seem to be a
fair sample. Undoubtedly, henceforth,
smokers will bow to the will of the
majority and refrain from the evil
weed.
