     /c\t first glance, it ap—, 
     
     peared that the President had 
     
     chosen his "Planning Advisory 
     
     Group" with a great deal of 
     
     care. His efforts to ensure 
     
     that the faculties of Artsand 
     
     Science, the Business School, 
     
     and even the much-maligned 
     
     Administration were equally 
     
     represented, is to be com- 
     
     mended. It would appear— to 
     
     the unlearned - that this was 
     
     a proposal designed to allow 
     
     the various factions of the 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     University Community an cp- 
     
     portunity to contribute to 
     
     what was to become the 
     
     President's VISIONARY-quest 
     
     for the "Best University in 
     
     the Region”. 
     
    

    
     The shock waves which the 
     
     new proposals have generated 
     
     throughout the campus could 
     
     mean that others, like my- 
     
     self, have laboured under 
     
     some rather seVere miscon- 
     
     ceptions. The role of the 
     
     Dean (or director as the case 
     
     may be)-was to my obviously 
     
    
   
   
    
     misguided sense of propriety, \ 
     
     that of a representative of 
     
     the faculty and students. The 
     
     difficulty I have.with'the 
     
     proposal is the manner in 
     
     which it was concéived. WaS' 
     
     it absolutely imperative 
     
    

    
     that this prOposal be drawn 
     
     up during the summer months 
     
     when few faculty members and 
     
     even fewer students are 
     
     available for consultation? 
     
    

    
     I am assured that eve _ 
     
     effort was made to consult
