tional programs can be housed.
These efforts are being coor-
dinated with a larger effort to
provide additional space in Sep-
tember for student enrollments.
Peter Greenwood, Terry
Leonard, John McKendry, and
their staffs have been especially
involved in this effort.

D. INTERNAL MATTERS -

GENERAL

Tonight, January 19, sig-
nalled the unofficial opening of
the "Douglas Room". Tomor-
row, there will be a formal
"Open House”, to celebrate the
College’s newest facility - one

dedicated to College employees.

This was a product of the
space crisis experienced this

 

Fall, and the resulting analysis
and overhaul of operations,
room allocations, and timeta-
bling strategies. Not only have
we been able to solve the imme-
diate space crisis, but the
College employees have been
provided with a modest but very
comfortable additional facility.

Registration for the Spring
Semester occurred on January
10, 11 and 12 - with results
parallel to that of the Fall - a
record turnout of students. In a
technical sense, registration
went very smoothly, under the
leadership of personnel from the
Registrar’s Office.

Unhappily, smooth and effec-
tive counselling and admissions
processes, are of little avail if
there are simply too many stu-

 

dents for the spaces provided.
This continues to be the case.
The Ministry is well aware of
the problem. I have mentioned
previously that work is ongoing
at this time, to attempt to create
additional places for next Sep-
tember.

I am very happy to announce
that Bob Browne, of the
Chemistry Discipline, is now
the Editor of "C-3" the national
chemistry newsletter for com-
munity colleges and technical
institutes. It is a tribute to Bob’s
dedication, and an honour for
the College to have one of its
faculty carrying out such a sig-
nificant national role.
