allow the light to shine
through. The holes have
the strong threads left intact
and Helen’s written com-
ments are the bright: new
threads that I can use to
reweave my efforts. I am
learning to recognize my

own faults and_ shortco-
mings and to overcome
them, ingrained as_ they

The important
thing to me is, Iam learning
what I want and need to
know - clear, concise com-

' munication.

My own opinion of man-
datory age 65 retirement
policy is that, like ‘the
human sex act, when one
anticipates and participates
by free choice, it is an
experience that has deep
personal meaning. How-
ever, to be forced into

 
   

age alone is rage - a
violation of the person.

Our Provincial and Fe-
deral Governments are cur-
rently reviewing their policy
of mandatory age 65 retire-
ment. It is timely for
Douglas College and _ its
Faculty Association to re-
view existing policy regard-
ing 65 mandatory retire-

ment too! Let’s not conti-
nue this discriminating
practise!

TEST PRAYER

Now I lay me down to study,
I pray the lord I won’t go
nutty, If I should fail to
learn this junk, I pray the
lord I will not flunk, But if I

do, don’t pity me at all, Just -

lay my bones down in ths
study hall. Tell my teacher
I did my best, Then pile my
books upon my chest, Now I
lay me down ‘to rest, And
pray I'll pass tomorrow’s
test. If I should die before I
wake, That’s one less test
I'll have to take.

Do you think stores should stay open

on Sundays ?

 

Jane Akizuki: I feel they
should be allowed to stay
open because some people
can’t get out to shop during
the week. It would also
benefit students who work
weekends.

 

 

 

 

 

Karen Kristjanson: I don’t
think stores should be al-
lowed to open on Sundays
because it would hurt the
smaller businesses.

 

 

 

Rob Thwaites: Only certain
stores should be allowed to
open on Sundays. Tourist
traps like Gastown should
be allowed to stay open.
Big retail stores shouldn’t
be allowed to open.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kris Stone: I think it should
be left up to individual
store. Stores that do open
should only be allowed to
stay open for a_ certain
amount of time. Shoppers
shouldn't be able to shop all
day.
