NEWS By Merrilee Brown, Editor Editorial: New Direction in Library System When you pass by the Bowmanville High School Library and hear a faint "beep beep" emanating from within, do not think that B.H.S. students are watching "Roadrunner" cartoons. Actually, the alarm is part of a new, efficient library system installed by the Board of Education. Many students may argue that the new library system is anything but efficient. To sign out a book, you must go to the front desk to have the book "desensitized". There are also turnstiles through which you must pass before entering or leaving the Resource Centre. When the noon hour bell rings, a rather large line-up to leave the library develops. Occasionally, a student who has accidently picked up a library book or who is "trying out" the system, passes through the turnstiles without desensitizing the book and sets off the discreet "beep beep" of the alarm. There are no flashing flashing red lights. There is no police siren. You are not thrown against the wall and strip-searched. If you wish to sign out the book, the librarian will desensitize it. If not, you give the librarian the book and walk out of the library. You are not held for questioning or charged with theft. The library system was not designed designed to "catch thieves" but to prevent people from taking books out of the library without without "signing them out." Most students feel that this system is unnecessary because because they never take books out of the library without signing signing them out first. However, a few inconsiderate students, actually about 200 per year, take books out of the library without signing them out. At $15.00 per book, that is a total loss of about $3000.00 per year, every year. That $3000.00 should be buying new resources resources for the library, not replacements. The collection of books on the shelves is gradually diminishing whereas whereas it should be growing. The system does not solve the problem of people who sign out books and do not return them; approximately 50 books which are signed out arc not returned every year. At least there is a name so the book can be traced and ultimately ultimately returned. If the book is not signed out, it is as good as gone. The Library is provided for B.H.S. students to help with projects and to support the curriculum, If any readers have discovered B.H.S. Library books, no matter how old, it would be greatly appreciated appreciated if they would return them to the Resource Centre, Bowmanville High School or phone 523-4415 and the book will be picked up, no questions asked.

Co-operative Education By AI Woodlock Co-operative ' education programs are developing and growing in all parts of Ontario. The Ontario Ministry of Education has recently put a lot of_ emphasis and importance importance on Co-operative Education Education in Secondary Schools. The Honourable Dr. Bette Stephenson, Ontario Minister" of Education and Minister of Colleges and Universities, states that "Co-operative Education is a necessity and an urgency in today's educational educational system." She claims that community help in employing employing students greatly assists them in their career development.

Nurses, secretaries, secretaries, welders, mechanics, dental assistants, machinists, accountants, lab technicians, draftsmen, teachers, sales clerks, etc. are only some of the occupations in which students have employment thanks to the generosity and co-operation of the employers in the community. Because of these employers our students are getting the necessary training and experience needed needed in order to gain permanent employment or to enter related related college and university programs. We have several new developments developments in Co-operative Education this year. First of all, students will be exposed to a work and employability skills course during the month of September prior to their employment on October 1st.
