meeting debating he outdoor education policy In a firstever move to discuss a policy while It Is still being worked on In the committee stage The attempt to debate and vote on each section of the policy was to allow trustees input into the forma tion of the policy and give the committee In charge direction as to how trustees feel on certain Issues before Ihe policy is finalized and brought back to he board table for final consideration Many trustees voiced ihdr dislike for he lime consuming process while others felt the com ml lice learned a tot by what was done Burlington Trustee Noel Copper said he disliked the process and could not understand what had been accomplished or what information the committee could have gleaned from the trustees comments Trustee Jim was highly suspect of the way trustees went through he report because he found it so highly irregular and off He wondered if was a strategic way to get a policy which probably would have passed because of the cost factors He said It was not an acceptable way for he board o handle policies In the future Director of Education he took exception to Trustee Clelland remarks Tonight he board gave direction to the com ml tee studying the outdoor lion policy he said The director has heard many times from the board lo bring alter natives to them for consideration before the policies reached the final stage he said A lack of communlca Don may have been the one way the process failed Trustee said the process was not serving the management rights of the board Instead he said he felt he was being led to accept the report when It was brought back In Ihe fall There was so much confusion as to Belfountain hosts strawberry festival Get for a fantastic strawberry smorgasbord Belfountain Village Church hold Its

trustee said Someone somewhere Is not com munlcating Trustee Clelland said Trustee Cooper said if the way the board went through the report was giving committee clear direc tion the process was out to lunch Trustees were not given the op portunity to debate items he said They were told that if they were in favor to vote The trustee was not least bit happy with the way board did things he said Trustee Crosier said the process was a waste of time and felt the board was no further ahead than when It started Trustee Janls Mlllman said she was offended by the way the board dealt with the report

super job Students can get info on university entry Graduating secondary school students across Ontario have counted the days until June 15 This is the first day students could expect to receive an offer of admis sion lo an Ontario university A record high applicants have submitted their choices for three universities and three programs almost 10 per cent more than last The question is will the pro vince s universities have room to ab sorb them all The government is pro viding supplementary funding to help accommodate the students but Is debatable whether ad hoc flnan alone can achieve the desired end when system capacity is so close to full exploitation Some of the high school students worries will be lightened however by he hot line service that will again be offered by the Ontario Universities Application Centre in Guclph Students who do not receive a satisfactory offer of admission from the three applications they made last fall will be able to call a toll free number lo enquire about other possibilities On he basis of data continuously updated by the universities students will which Institutions still have places available If they are In terested in a specific program the data base will provide information on which universities continue to have openings In that area Students will also be ab e to use their grade overage as an indicator and learn which universities have places In which programs for applicants witn their specific level of qualifications In this way the universities hope the number of disappointed students to a minimum With Ihe large number of applicants and the high level of competition however many students will not receive of from their first choice of and program In many cases the students ability to take advantage of a place offered will depend on willingness to live away from home Although a portion the number of students applying for entry to university can be attributed to the first group of fast trackers who have taken advantage of cur riculum reforms In high school to graduate in four years Instead of five It appears that the real upward pressure on numbers steams from a higher part Id pa I ion rate thai is a greater percentage than ever before of high school students Is seriously Interested In university studies This represents a fundamental change in the attitudes of Ontario residents lo post secondary educa tion There Is good reason lo think that this demand for places will con to rise Will Ontario be able afford to meet the educational aspirations of all these students In terms of pro viding the
