New Computer Technology Acquired at Durham College Students attending Durham College can now be assured that they will be able to meet the challenges of the market lace today, and have the ackground training to be prepared for the changes of the future. This is especially true when it comes to computer technology. With the exception of the front door, nothing receives greater use than our computers. With this in mind the Board of Governors of Durham College have just approved the expenditure of 1.2 million dollars over the next three years, for the acquisition of computer equipment. The guidelines established for this acquisition included several important requirements. requirements. There is the need to increase our mainframe capacity, to facilitate the training of more data processing and programming students. .We must provide computer training for students in all programs, in all divisions at the College, so that all students will graduate with at least computer literacy, and in many programs be "computer adept." Editor's Mail January 8,1985 Hon. Allan Lawrence, Q.C., M.P. Durham-Norlhumberland OTTAWA, Ontario K1A 0A6 Re : Street Letter Box - King & Ontario, Bowmanville Thank you for your letter dated January 3, 1985, with reference to the complaints you received regarding the removal of a street letter box from the corner of King and Ontario Streets. The box was removed, not due to vandalism in this case, but because it was in need of repair. A refurbished box has been placed on the site as of January 4,1985. Many thanks for your suggestion of changing the location to prevent damage. This has helped at other sites, and may be required here, although we have been relatively free of vandalism lately. Yours sincerely, L.L. Skuratow, Postmaster There is the need to increase our population of microcomputers microcomputers substantially, in order to meet the previous objective. It is important to maintain the policy at the College to provide 24-hour access to the terminals seven days a week, for all students. We need to have what is termed a "network" in which the micro-computers are connected to the mainframe in order to have maximum flexibility for all training requirements. We also need to provide a facility which would allow the College to develop and expand its capability in Computer Assisted Learning, identified as C.A.L. It is also important to ensure that our computer software is compatible with the three principal operating systems which dominate the market today -- VM, MS/DOS, and UNIX. With this in mind, the College has purchased a "state-of-the-art" 4361 IBM mainframe computer, along with an agreement to purchase a minimum of 120 IBM PC with compatability and capacity to operate most existing programs. The networking will be facilitated by joining these units with an IBM/AT. This system was developed in conjunction with, and with assistance by IBM personnel. This hardware will allow Durham College to utilize the Cross-country skiing season is underway as the Metro Toronto Zoo presents "ZooSki '85." Tigers, Polar bears, elephants and giraffes are just some of over 4,000 animals waiting to be discovered as you ski the spectacular 710 acre site. What makes ZooSki unique is that the skier who gets a little cold or tired can leave his trek to visit exotic animals and plants in the tropical temperatures of the eight pavilions housing over 240 species. The zoo provides other amenities for the winter IMB CAL system to develop software. Durham College is negotiating, and expects to reach an arrangement with IBM for the development and utilization of software by colleges. This computer installation will join the existing state-of- the-art computer systems already at the college, including: a complete Computervision CAD/CAM system as a component of our Computer Integrated Manufacturing, a Dicomed Computer Graphics system for our Applied Arts, a Gould Unix System V based distributed processing system in our Business Division which allows us to integrate data entry, graphics, word processing and data processing. In order to fully utilize these 'developments thè academic staff have carried on many professional development programs individually and in groups, to develop computer literacy and to adapt parts of these programs for computer utilization. This makes for quality of education, keeping training up-to-date and relevant to future occupational demands., Our students will be "computer adept" in an age when the computer revolution will permeate all aspects of business and industry. They will be able to adapt to rapidly changing technology, and will have greatly enhanced employment opportunities. visitor such as free parking, restaurant and snack bar service, a heated monorail ride and camel rides.

ADHOD Services is sponsoring two workshops for parents of developmentally handicapped children. The workshops will look at the potential effect the Bill 82 implementation might have on families and what it is that we, as a Resource Centre, can do to assist and support families.

HOME ECONOMICS FOOTNOTES: By R.O.S. Specialist Barbara Weese (Home Economist) ACTIONWEAR During Winter 1985, 4-H members in Ontario will be learning to sew! "Action- wear" is a basic sewing course using knit fabrics for simple garments such as sweat shirts, track pants and T-shirts. Enthusiasm for the fitness fitness craze and the effect of movies like "Flashdance" have combined to make sweatsuit dressing a way of life for teenagers. Jogging fleece and T-shirt knits are comfortable and easy to care for, whether they are worn for active and spectator sports or just for relaxing at home. Members will learn to use a sewing machine and will learn the basic sewing techniques for knit fabrics. Beginners will make one garment; experienced sewers sewers will make at least two, with the chance to use some optional extras such as piping piping and fabric inserts. To join a 4-H Actionwear Club, members must be at least 12 years of age and no more than 21 years of age before January 1 or July 1 depending on when the project project starts. For more information, contact Barbara Weese at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Agriculture and Food office in Bowmanville, or your local sewing club leaders. Clubs will be starting within the next few weeks.
