The problem is, even if you choose the wrong door, Monty says, “You are now the proud owner of a genuine goat.” Which is great if you like goat’s milk and you just happen to live on a farm. But here you get a riled teacher who chews you out for being late because you chose the wrong door and got lost. Which is what happened to me. I chose door number one. ‘BONG ” Where is the crowd of costumed buffoons shouting and encouraging you to choose their favorite door when you really need them? Well, I found myself in a dingy corridor with the sound of machinery buzzing behind closed doors, the smell of sawdust in the air and not a soul in sight. So, where do I find the typewriters? Well, have no fear. I finally found them, way down at the opposite end of the building and up a couple of floors. Of course, the next day I had fun trying to locate a lecture being held in the wing I had discovered the first day. And, imagine my surprise when I realized I could go directly from a class on the first floor behind the cafeteria to my locker on the third floor, instead of going on a half-mile jog through the cafeteria, and up and around like I had been doing for a week.

WHY WAIT FOR SEPTEMBER?
GET A HEAD START TO COLLEGE!
By Wendy Coles August will mark the end of Conestoga College’s first year under the direction of John Tibbits, who was appointed as president and chief executive officer on September 1, 1987. He replaced former president Kenneth E. Hunter. Tibbits possesses a wide variety of experience that made him a prime candidate in the college’s search for a president last year.
You’re starting in September 1988. Heading in a new educational direction can be both exciting and formidable. This is particularly true if you have been away from school for a number of years. Student Services has set up “Ready, Set...,’’ a series of free seminars the week of August 29th. These seminars are designed to give you a head start, answer your questions, familiartze you with the campus and offer some study techniques. Workshop titles are as follows:
