MADHATTER EDITORIAL

There is a motherhood issue brewing at
the new campus which needs the support of
every faculty, staff and administrator...
it is a motherhood issue concerning keep-
ing the new campus an attractive place to
work. The issue itself concerns smoking
Or More appropriately smoking and then
butting the cigarette out on the new car-
pet.

It's disgusting and it is already happen-
ing at the new campus. Now we at the

Mad Hatter don't necessarily agree with the

new smoking policy of the college, but it
is there and should be obeyed. More im-
portantly though, is the fact that the
decision means there are not many ash-
trays around the college.

This being the case, it is now up to
everyone who is concerned about working
in pleasant surroundings (carpets without
burnholes) to help enforce that policy of
no smoking zones.

 

The only practical way of helping, is
for the staff, faculty and administra-
tion to become assertive...when we see
people smoking in no smoking zones,
tell them to butt out, and not on the
carpet.

We have been waiting a long time for
the permanent building, let's not allow
a few inconsiderate people to ruin the
carpets...tell them to put it out and

no butts about it!!!

 

STUDENT SURVEY

This past fall one third of the student
population of Douglas College were un-

able to register in one or more courses
they wanted, due to cuts in programming
and increased demand for post secondary
education.

While approximately 500 students were
unable to register at the College this
fall, another 577 registrants were not
able to take 1,015 courses they wanted.
In many cases the courses are required
for graduation.

This registration information is con-
tained in an extensive survey completed
by Douglas College on fall enrollment.
It was designed to understand some of
the impact the financial restraint
placed on the college earlier this year,

"The survey has brought to light same
very serious problems which confronted
many students this fall, and may be re-
peated again this spring," said Dean of
Student Services Gerry DellaMattia.

"It's not a very pleasant situation when
you do not have enough courses to offer
students who need them, particularily
when you are talking about courses such
as expository writing," DellaMattia said.
