a practical handle for the Admin to come to grios with.

The last lesson requires serious study on the part of the
Administration in responding to students! concern for making
this school a thriving artistic communi ty. Two specific issues
in the minds of many “A-tackers'' are:

1. The pristine flavour of our halls and byways. Doug Wier,
the Facilities Manager, is constantly on the alert to
prevent the school looking like ''a bus stop’. A compromise
should be possible away from this extreme position. Notices
and posters could remain restricted to bulletin board space,
but the gyp-rock walls could withstand tacks to display
student work in the halls. Although Dean Hudson's efforts
in getting more plywood walls within studio spaces can be
applauded, more is needed. Railings and hangers should
be provided throughout.

2. Inadequate open hours of the photography department. This
budgetary problem must be resolvable in comparison with
less pressing priorities. A monitor's wage during the
evenings and weekends is a small price to pay for the
increased accessibility of the darkrooms.

SO, ADMIN, GET WITH IT!
