Work Study Slow to Fill

The first priority of the Work Study Program is to
get students on loans working as soon as possible, says
program coordinator Lori Kosciuw, however there are
10 positions available out of the total 98 for students not
using loans. So far, 88 students have been approved for
the Fall ’88 work term, but to date, only 38 jobs have
been filled.

Students take responsibility for selecting the job
they are most suited to andParsue it.

Anyone interested in learning more about the work
study program can contact Lori Kosciuw at 984-4969.

Meetings, Bloody Meetings

Please note that the Instructional Management
meetings held every second and fourth Thursday are
cancelled.

I’m on a Committee

Oh, give me your pity,

I’m on a committee

which means that from morning to night,
We attend and amend,

And contend and defend,

Without a conclusion in sight.

We confer and concur,

We defer and demur,

And reiterate all of our thoughts,
We revise the agenda,

With frequent addenda,

And consider a load of reports.

We compose and propose,

We suppose and oppose,

And the points of procedure are fun,
But though various notions

Are brought up as motions,

There’s terribly little gets done.

We resolve and absolve,

But we never dissolve,

Since it’s out of the question for us,
To bring our committee,

To end like this ditty,

Which stops with a period, thus.

— Submitted (but not authored) by an inveterate
meeting-goer, Alan Smith, Director of Planning.

E.S.L. Lives

E.S.L. is rising from the ashes of “restraint”, reports
Associate Dean, Career/Vocational Division, John Potts.
It now has an official coordinator, Nick Collins, who can
be reached at local 2582.

This year, the English as a Second Language
department will be planning new cost recovery
initiatives in cooperation with Extension Services (along
the lines of more summer visits from Japanese
students). Also, an E.S.L. instructor will be available to
tutor students in the Writing Centre in the spring term.

John and Nick will be taking stock of our E.S.L.
offerings this year looking for areas that need
modification or expansion. “If you have any observations
or suggestions, send them along to Nick or myself,” says
John.
