Over 742 students received received their diplomas and certificates at the two-ceremony two-ceremony graduation which honoured the Business students students Saturday morning and Applied Arts, Health and Technology graduates in the afternoon. Keynote speaker for the afternoon session was Editor of the Whitby Free Press and former College graduate, Michael Knell who focused his talk on the need for the formation of a Durham College Alumni organization. organization. Mr. Knell felt that the group should follow several goals, the first of which would be to lend support to undergraduates and new graduates, helping them find field placement and other work experience, and assisting in job placement after graduation. Another goal would be to provide members to the various program advisory committees which advise the College in content, standards, standards, and objectives of the courses. They could also act as an advocate for the College College both internally and externally. externally. Recognizing that a decade decade of government restraint has taken a heavy toll on post secondary educators in Ontario, Mr. Knell said an alumni club could press for assistance for new funds for new programs, new teach- Objects to Tractor Pulls Local Women Eye Witness From Page One Roger Cochrane, owner of Jamieson Tire in Bowmanville, also addressed the meeting. He spoke of the benefit his business, and others, had gained from the tractor pull and went on to mention the overall benefit of special events to the town's tourist industries. "This town needs the tractor pull and other special events," said Mr. Cochrane, "we're for the community." community." He also told the committee that the organizers of the tractor pull donate their profits to a local cause. Last year the Big Brothers and St. John Ambulance received money, this year the Memorial Hospital Fund will benefit if the tractor pull goes ahead on June 22nd. Many of the councillors expressed expressed sympathy with the position taken by Mr. Coombes. "City dwellers dwellers who live here only on week-ends don't understand our way of life," said Councillor Marie Hubbard, citing citing this situation as another example example of the problems caused by lot severance in rural areas. Councillor Ann Cowman discussed discussed routes Mr. Coombes might take, including making application to rezone his property; however, Planning Director Terry Edwards pointed out that this would not gain a "stay of execution" for the planned planned event on June 22nd, and added that the current objector could still take the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board if the rezoning were approved by Council. The committee accepted a motion to table the report, and reserve action action on the offending by-law for two months. This recommendation will come before Newcastle Council on June 10th. If Council approves the recommendation, recommendation, the June 2?nd tractor pull can go ahead Without contravening contravening a town bÿ-lawf > "This could pllice the| town in an embarrassing legal position," commented commented Councillor Ted Woodyard, "the town could face a considerable law suit." "If the report isn't dealt with and the event goes ahead, the complainant complainant could take the town to court instead instead of Mr. Coombes," said Councillor Councillor Ann Cowman. Certainly, these considerations will be weighed by town staff and the councillors before Monday's council meeting.
