WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31,1988, PAGE 13 Enrolment increases in Trent's Oshawa program By Debbie Luchuk Enrolment in Trent Uni- versity's Oshawa program is up by 60 per cent.from last year. Trent has offered university courses at Durham College as an extension program of the Peter- borough offerings since 1975. Students can complete major requirements for economics, anthropology, cultural studies, English, history, political studies, psychology and sociology, as well as complete other courses as interest courses or towards a degree completed in Peter- borough. There are close to 1,000 Lakeshore area (Port 0 Hope /Cobourg to Ajax) residents who are actively engaged in taking Trent University courses- at Durham. There are 33 courses to be offered. this year, up from last year's offering of 28. Classes begin Sept. 19 and are held in the evenings. As part of expansion of the Oshawa program, "There are possible five or six more majors that we can comfortably offer," according to the director of part time studies, professor George Nader. Possible majors to be added to the existing eight may be geography (human), Canadian studies, administrative and policy studies, and philosophy. Although science courses are not available in the Oshawa program, Nader said that attempts are being made to accommodate some science courses. Mathematics is currently taught at Durham. Academic counselling is available to Oshawa students two nights a week at Durham College. Nader would like to establish a year-round centre of operations for the program, something that may be possible next year. Library fadilities afreavailable at Durham. But if students need assistance to obtain books or articles for essays, the books and papers can be sent down from Trent's library in Peterborough via the staff van. The van transports Peterborough faculty to Oshawa and acts as an informal mail courier service to accommodate the special needs of the Oshawa student. Nader said that he was considering holding a few courses in Whitby during the daytime, to accommodate part-time students such as homemakers and seniors who prefer to study during the day. "We want to respond to demand, and welcome comments from residents of the area. We hope to have mass distribution of our calendar next spring," Nader said. "We have had tremendous response with enrolment this year. Armor recovered An Oshawa man has been charged with the theft of a six-foot tall suit of armor from Trafalgar Castle School three weeks ago. School officials only reported the theft of the armor last week, because the armor has been stolen on previous occasions but always returned. Acting on a tip, officers required a search warrant for a home on 309 Ritson Rd. S. in Oshawa where they found the armor. Roger Edward Richard has been charged with theft of stolen property. He has also been charged with possession of a narcotic. Keep your eyes open for those interesting shots and enter our PHOTOCONTEST!
