Open House Committee

At their meeting on September 6, Management
Committee approved the establishment of a
standing committee composed of one repres-
entative from each Division and one repres-
entative from College Management. The func-
tion of this committee will be:

A. to make recommendations to College Man-
agement regarding dates and the frequen-
cy of Open House

B. to co-ordinate departmental activities
for each Open House.

Gordon Gilgan has volunteered to be the
Management representative in the initial
stages and will request nominations for rep-
resentatives from each division. Repres-
entatives may be from administration, facul-
ty, staff or students.

Curriculum Approvals

It was brought to the attention of Manage-

ment Committee that a course which had not

followed the usual approval process through
the governance system was given special ap-
proval for offering this fall as part of a

program package. This has presented prob-

lems since the course is equivalent to

soa course already offered by the Col-

ege.

It was agreed by Management Committee that
the existing regulations be re-enforced and
that no extraordinary approvals will be giv-
en in the future.

More On Survival Of The Fittest

A number of persons have asked me what I was
getting at in my previous submission on the
above topic and so I will attempt to be more
specific.

We are all familiar with the theory of evolu-
tion which explains our present existence on
the basis of the dynamic of natural selection
or survival of the fittest. If we came into
being by this dynamic then, presumably, we
still live in the grip of this dynamic. The
theory of evolution does not assign any val-
ue to anything that exists. The concept of
values is something which we have evolved.
