There is still the problem of parking at Conestoga College, although it appears to be the students who are causing it. Students insist on parking on the grass even though there is ample parking shown in the picture below, which was taken at'the same time as this one. The parking lotijeside the Conestoga Center is shown with the empty parking spaces.

Macbeth not the same Students taking the relevance of Shakespeare class next fall might have a severe disadvantage over students who have been fortunate enough to have taken it in the past. Room 2A65, a highly “unconventional” classroom said Bill Goldfinch, its principle user, is in danger of being closed altogether.

Because

of recent complaints,

Dave Putt, director of the Boon and Cambridge campuses, had to inspect the room with Mac Ronstance, the campus safety and Joyce Stormont, a nurse at the Boon campus, on Oct. 17. They found several fire, safety and health hazards with the various forms of fauna kept in the room (a three-metre-long log) and wires hanging from the

Goldfinch, with the help of several students, stripped the entire room and washed the floors under the carpet, vacuumed all the rugs and furniture, removed a three-metrelong log and shampooed the carpet, under it. The entire room was rewired so that the wires were above the ceiling panels. Putt re-inspected the room and agreed to leave it the way it was until May 1984 when a more permanent decision about its fate could be made.

The last of the workshops offered by the Conestoga College counselling office was titled Getting Down to Write. Carol Gregory, counsellor, said that the first thing a student should do in preparing an essay or assignment is to narrow down the topic. Attempting to cover too broad a subject results in frustration for the student, and perhaps a that, although detailed, lacks unity. The student should make the subject individual; “take a stand and feel for the topic,” Gregory said. “Sometimes you have to manipulate the topic,” she said, in order to get

Welcome to my first editorial, it is now been two full months into the year, and a good one at that. So far, this year the DSA have had a pretty productive year. Pubs have been more than successful, our 83-84 budget has been approved, our constitution is almost ready once again to hit the lawyers for finalization, a few dubs have Started with our assistance, and committees have been started for future goals.

Paul Buttinger is trying to create a distinct atmosphere for Conestoga College’s pubs. “I want to get people to get the idea that Thursday night at Conestoga is sold out,” Buttinger said.

On Oct. 23, 1980, Council of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo authorized McCormick Rankin and Associates of Mississauga to provide consulting engineering services for the preliminary design of the reconstruction of Homer Watson from two lanes to four lanes, according to its engineering report. Early in the study it was evident that additional transportation planning was needed to successfully complete the reconstruction.

sen over the others due to several advantages. According to the engineering report, the widened roadway would provide adequate capacity for present and future traffic loads and a decrease in travel time and fuel consumption. Traffic would not off-load onto residential streets and transit schedules and emergency vehicle services would be

improved. The disadvantages of the chosen alternative include a high construction cost, but this cost would be much less than building a new route. Vegetation within the right-of-way would have to be removed and the travelled portion of the roadway would be closer to the adjoining residential properties.

A structure will be constructed at Schneider Creek in 1987 and 1988 will see curb, paving and granular placed on Homer Watson Boulevard from Carriage Brive to Pinnacle Brive. Citizens living near Homer Watson have expressed concern about increased noise levels, according to the engineering report. Existing and future noise levels were measured and a slight increase was noted. Noise control measures will be reassessed at the time of construction, if the road is approved. Other concerns voiced by area residents included decreased property values, damage to homes because of vibration from construction and need for a lower speed limit. The proposed widening of the road is expected to cost $10.3 million, which according to Jack Williams, does not include services such as sewage and
