Before leaving on winter break, students signed a petition protesting transfer of teachers (Cooper and Huschilt).
Students fight transfers “If

Tony Martinek, chairman of programs, technology and associate director is responsible for the reassigning of J.J. Huschilt and Frazer Cooper to the 52-week electronic engineering technician program

Students were informed Feb. 17 that both Huschilt and Cooper, two highly qualified teachers from the electronic engineering technology options, will be transferred to a

program. Cooper will continue to teach third year telecom seven hours weekly. Students organized themselves on Feb. 20 into a protest group on the basis that a mid-semester transfer would inevitably hurt the course and the students who have to adjust to

teachers.
“There are many examples Conestoga with technical ability, but who

can’t necessarily teach,” said Carey. “The students believe that one reason for transferring Huschilt and Cooper is their well-adapted methods of teaching. “The engineering electronics technician program has needs that command slightly higher priority,” said Martinek. Therefore, Huschilt and
Cooper, as experienced teachers will be transferred. Martinek said the other pro-
grams (computer and telecommunications) are relatively stable because they have been running for years. Joe Blackburn, formerly with Electrohome-Kitchener and Dr. Tom East, head of the research and development department for Raytheon Canada, have both had teaching experience and are replacements for the remaining eight weeks.

However, hospitals don’t recommend it and don’t usually make parents aware of rooming in. Dart stresses it is important to be honest with the child. If something is going to hurt, if it

The
students,

feel the
changes have been undertaken
without regard for the continuity of their education, have organized to protest the moves. Initially, a blockade of the campus was planned to coincide with the return to classes after study week. Cooler heads prevailed, and steps were taken in accordance with accepted practices for mediation of disputes. The students have met with the Doon Student Association, attempted to discuss the situation with both the chairman of the department and the campus director, and enlisted the support of

Students are required to put their signatures to the nomination forms, and worse, may even nominate themselves for the
award. Surely, with the warmth and unselfishness he demonstrated, A1 Logan would never have put a consenting signature to a form, thereby recommending himself much less nominate himself. The characteristics he possessed go part and parcel with what is called humility. Giving the award to an individual who is willing to wave a banner with his better traits printed in bold letters is questionable to say the least. Much more, it defeats the purpose behind the award. The student is robbed of what could be one of his better moments; being given an award because people, who knew the finer qualities they were looking for, saw them in him. The honor is then more meaningful. Let the students continue to make nominations. Encourage the faculty to get involved. Let the role of the candidate be that of accepting the award. Then the A1 Logan Award will have achieved its purpose.

The proposed transit mall for downtown Kitchener has provided city officials with a short winter holiday, the press with grist for its mill, and city taxpayers with the potential for a whopping headache. An astounding number of 19 Kitchener officials and businessmen travelled recently to Ottawa to view our capital’s answer to winter, regeneration of the downtown core, and sundry other problems. The reactions were mixed. Some of the observers felt the Ottawa mall could not be realistically considered a prototype for Kitchener because of the wide discrepancy of size and activity between the two downtown areas. Others felt that with modifications of scale, the Ottawa model would be a boon to Kitchener. The average Kitchenerite views the whole tempest with

disinterest.
However,
this lack of reaction

eventually mean digging deeply into our tax pockets for the wherewithal to underwrite a civic greenhouse. City council has now proposed a $50,000 feasibility study to further examine the Ottawa Rideau Transit Mall. Should the study decide in favor of the mall, and £he results be accepted by the majority of council, Kitchener taxpayers face the prospect of a multi-million dollar bill for construction of our own glass house.
