     ,v Monday: So now they've put Extension where 
     
     Sociology was, Sociology where English was, English 
     
     where Mathematics was, MattematiCs where the 
     
     students were, and Student Services where Extension 
     
     was. Proponents of this merry-go— round argue that 
     
     at' least it will get students out of our hair for 
     
     a while because they won't be able to find anything. 
     
    
   
   
    
     I'm not so sure. I had some trouble finding the 
     
     washroom today. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Tuesday: Locked myself out of my—office today. 
     
    

    
     As usual went to Security" to get a spare key. But 
     
     when I asked the man on duty to supply me, he 
     
     informed me rather airily that I had blundered into 
     
     a class in Canadian Studies. It seems that the . 
     
     person I addressed was a fellow professor, the 
     
     Security office was nov a classroom with students 
     
     in it, and that I must go elsewhere for my key. 
     
    

    
     I went in the direction he pointed and found 
     
     myself in some sort of pestiferous, evil—smelling 
     
     warren beneath the Main Annex, the place, I 
     
     suppose, where they put old professors away to 
     
     moulder. How I got out I'm' not sure. Altogether 
     
     a distressing day. * 
     
    
   
   
    
     Wednesday: The girl who said she read my article - 
     
     MacDonald her name is- sits in the front row 
     
     every class. ,Such a nice wholesome thing. Not 
     
     likevthose lollygagging lizards in jeans you see 
     
     so often these days. She stayed a few minutes 
     
     after class to enquire about extra reading. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Thursday; Professor X, my arch—rival in the 
     
     department, came into my office today, ostensibly , 
     
     to ask the time. Without so much as a by-your— 
     
    

    
     ' leave, he picked one of the books I'm using for 
     
     my new course off my desk. "Of course you're 
     
     aware, " he said, smiling in that horrible was of 
     
     his, "that this work has been totally refuted by 
     
     later “scholarship? .You must have read Gumpert, 
     
     I974?" Admittedly, using a text with uncut pages 
     
     is, a little old—fashioned, but poisoning would 
     
     be too sweet for such a swine as x. I shall watch 
     
     what he drinks at Happy Hour tomorrow. " 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘ Friday: .‘Spent most.,Of yesterday evening marking- 
     
     the year's first assignment, and so missed "The 
     
     Muppets." When did students first begin the __ 
     
     execr—able habit of folding over‘ the top left 
     
     corner of their answer pages, making two little 
     
    
   
   
    
     ' ripsinathe fold, then folding the bit between the -

     To: Residents of Marian 
     
     and Bernadine Halls. 
     
    

    
     On behalf of myself, 
     
     the management of Saga 
     
     Foods and Mr. Cross, 
     
     Chairman of the Dining 
     
     Hall Committee, I wish to 
     
     express our sincere 
     
     gratitude to all the 
     
     students. who attended the 
     
     open meeting of the 
     
     Dining Hall Committee on 
     
     Wednesday, September 23rd. 
     
     The large attendance 
     
     (approx, 175), as well as 
     
     the list of issues which 
     
     were raised that evening, 
     
     certainly made it quite 
     
     clear that there are , 
     
     particular prqblemswith 
     
     the present ocupon system 
     
     of purchasing meals for 
     
     residence students. ‘ I was 
     
     most impressed with the 
     
     manner in which  
     
     meeting was conducted. 
     
     The Orderly and systematic 
     
     approadu which you used 
     
     in making your points 
     
     known to the admin' istration 
     
     is certainly a credit 
     
     to the student body 'of 
     
     this institution. You 
     
     are to be commended for 
     
     your actions. 
     
    

    
     I understand that 
     
     a number of people left 
     
     the meeting with the 
     
     distinct impression that 
     
     little or nothing had 
     
     been accomplished. This 
     
    
   
   
    
     ' was certainly not my 
     
    
   
   
    
     feeling, nor was it the 
     
     feeling of the Dining 
     
    
   
   
    
     'Hall Committee. I beleive 
     
    
   
   
    
     that as the Weeks progress 
     
     you will see a difference 
     
     in the approach to 
     
    
   
   
    
     utilizing the coupons ' 
     
    
   
   
    
     On ‘the- Pbsitive Side 
     
    
   
   
    
     which you have been 
     
    
   
   
    
     issued for the purchase 
     
     of meals. I also suggest 
     
     to each and every 
     
     resident that they have 
     
    

    
     a very conscientious 
     
     Dining Hall committee, 
     
     and the members of this 
     
     committee are there to 
     
     represent your views on 
     
    

    
     a continous basis 
     
     throughout the remainder 
     
     of this year. I urge 
     
    

    
     you not to let an issue 
     
     become a prdolem, but 
     
     rather, bring it to their 
     
     attention, or go directly 
     
     to the manager, Andy Dean. 
     
     He will certainly do his 
     
     best to give you an 
     
     immediate solution. 
     
    

    
     I was very pleased 
     
     with the meeting and 
     
     thought it was a very 
     
     positive one. The criti— 
     
     cisms were cnnstructive 
     
    
   
   
    
     I and well deserved. With 
     
    
   
   
    
     your future help and 
     
     co—operatiOn, I'm sure 
     
     that most of the issues 
     
     which were raised will 
     
     work out to the satis- 
     
     faction of both the 
     
     administration and the 
     
     residence students. I 
     
     welcome your cOntinued 
     
     input into working out 
     
     the problems which exist 
     
     around our present meal 
     
     plan and look forward 
     
     to hearing from you as 
     
     the academic year ' 
     
     progresses. My office is 
     
     located on the first floor 
     
     of Main Building. Please 
     
     feel free to contact me 
     
     at your convience.
