Graduation: very different plans

It may be difficult to think about when

Christmas exams aren't even over yet, but
planning for the spring's graduation is

underway and the Graduation Planning
Committee is looking for reactions and

suggestions from the college communi ty—
especially students—to its plans for this

coming year. And those plans are different
from what has been done in the past. They

are essentially planning a three-stage
celebration which goes as follows:

1. Decentralized events - each department
or group of departments having its own
"graduation'', including the distribution
of diplomas in their own departmental
areas on campus.

2. An all-college ''celebration of
graduates'' in the quadrangle on the north

side of the campus in the bright sunshine
(Ed: ?!), involving about half an hour of

awards and music/theatre, followed by an
informal reception.

3. An evening dinner/dance.

The entire celebration would be scheduled
for a Saturday afternoon/evening in mid-

May, with family, friends and community
members invited.

Comments? Forward them to Paul Gallagher
who will put them to the Graduation

Planning Committee.

Get acquainted with the MLC

The Math Department and A.R.C. would like

everyone to know just a little about the
Mathematics Learning Centre. To begin with

it is located at the South end of the
renovated first floor of the J builiding

(that's metric for NF). In the general
Study area are six Apple microcomputers

available for student use and there is a
Math Video Room with two VCR's now in

operation. In addition J114 is designed
for self paced learning courses,

independent study and houses the math
library. Students are able to access

statistical and graphing packages for the
computers, and video tapes are abailable

on topics in Algebra, Calculus and
Statistics. If students need assistance in

those areas they can use the visual
learning aids or consult the lab

supervisor, Wendy Lynn, or instructors who
come in during assigned hours for drop-in

assistance. Now, do you have any questions
about the Math Learning Centre? Call the

Math department or drop in and visit—as
they say they're "user friendly."

making images of Buddha, and carves her
own cedar, pine and birch wood blocks. The
prints, in black and white and colour,
range widely in subject matter and are
generally in limited editions of about 35.
