(That birthmark thing may be just a rumor).
Conestoga College, should think again about providing more computer terminals at Doon campus.
The number of students here needing
to use a
com-
puter terminal vastly outweighs the number of terminals. This is a sad fact, considering the number of computer labs in the main building. There are about 10
of them, totalling well over 300 computers. Why, then, are students having problems finding
computers
computer terminals are underutilized. Another simple reason for the computer crisis is that administration seems to forget the fact that most students need computers outside class time. However, most labs are booked for classes. One way to solve this problem would be to designated or build one or two computer labs for non-teaching space. But with the college’s funding deficient in this area, the money to build more computer labs is severely lacking.
Another possible solution, will unquestionably leave

One reason may be the lack of faculty
participation.
For example, a teacher should be obligated to dlow a student who is not a member of the class to gain entry into the lab, provided the lab

Several students have been known to have been kicked out of computer labs due to a class in progress, even if the lab is not full. In situations like this, many

The computer crisis will not be solved shortly, but it must be solved. Students should not have to purchase personal computers and printers to do homework. After all, isn’t that what their tuition is for?

My parents deny that a twin exists. Ted 2’s folks probably do, too. BuL here’s my theory: When we were bom. Mom quickly realized how much joy and happiness we boys could bring to the world and she wanted to share us. She probably bundled you up, Ted 2, and gave you to a band of travelhng gypsies.

This movie is about Ernest and how he became the unlucky slob he is today. A curse was placed on the Worrell family years back by a troll named Trantor. Trantor is released from his tomb by our hero and the adventure begins. This picture is a kid’s movie but most adults should enjoy it as well.
