Emergency Messages

While in dire emergencies
the campus switchboard op-
erators have in the past
attempted to assist in loca-
ting students, there is no
means in either our present
or future buildings to per-
form this function.

Students should be made
aware of this limitation and

others with whom they might
require contact.

the advanced education
system should not be seen as
a pyramid with universities
on top:

She said the 70 percent of
high school graduates who
choose to enter the labour'
force directly make valid
decisions.

Stephenson implied that
few of the remaining 30
per cent belong in university.

““We might ask ourselves
whether a society should
limit opportunities at the
university level to those who
have the intellectual capacity
to participate and contri

“Should we continue to
look at totally open admis-
sion for people who may
encounter great difficulties
in achieving at university?
Would they be better served
‘elsewhere?”’

Stephenson’s views are
part of a growing consensus
in government and some
adminstration to increased
funding, closing institutions
or drastically increasing tui-
thion fees.

The Ontario Council on
University Affairs, which
advises the government on
university funding, recently
called for enrolment ceilings
for-each university and a
refusal to fund them beyond
that ceiling.

increase in applications.

eEVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT BEER*

 

Lesson *4 “The pour”

There are many theories regarding this particular facet
of the beer mystique. The one we favour builds a beer
head from the bottom. Start by keeping the glass
upright and pouring down the middle until a head
begins to form. Stop, let the foam build, then tilt the
glass to a forty-five degree angle and continue to pour
down the side. As the glass fills, bring it back to the
upright position leaving a head about two fingers tall.
The beer pour is nearly always followed by the ever
popular beer “unpour’”, an exercise in which many of
you are already well-versed.
