EDITOR:

It occurs to me that nothing accidental led to
my becoming editor of Woo. Collectively we con-
ceived of issue 4 as the campaign issue. The
response to your student societies mandate that we
create direction and content within the format of
this newsletter.

I have endeavored to enlarge upon the news
oriented rather than journal based format, for this
existing entity called Woo.

Woo is attempting to reach a broader audience
through this enlarged concern with news content.
Through the combined efforts of John Atkin, Arni

Haraldsson and associates my job thus far has’

been challenging and enjoyable.

Rather than accepting carte blanche every sub-
mission. I have rejected work I consider to be un-
substantiated. By that I mean articles by authors
who appeared to me to be avoiding taking respon-
sibility for the thrust of issue contained within.

Under my administration Woo will not serve as
a soap box for those who wish to trash and run. I
will always consider issues that are geared to a
limited concern, indeed issues which place my
own politics, and that of others in an intimate
focus. I will as well endeavor to provide the con-
verse issue, in the interest of generating the public
forum for the discussion and disemination of in-
formation that this college appears to need.

And you will make me appear good bad or in-
different for doing some such stuff. . . Iam your
editor and I intend to show you the mirror, and
me.

The time is 2:00 A.M. I plan to continue until
3:00, and then to sleep, 5 hrs. Awaken at 8:00
have tea . . . no sympathy.

From my memory bank, Sam Carter advises
me and I paraphrase.

Work hard, produce fine results . . .
duct.

Don’t let on how much work was involved or
how long it took you to do the work. After all, I
reason, nobody wants to know at noon today that
you were up until 3:00, and they certainly don’t
want to know that you were up wooing.

And so I begin, sincerely yours, your editor.

MEMO, NO 24.

Doug Weir has been to see me today to explain
that people are persistently sticking paper; i.e.
posters, notices, invitations, etc., to the glazing in
the College. He obviously doesn’t like to have to
remove notices which might have any significa-
tion, but he has a responsibility as Manager of
Facilities to see that the cleaning contracts, for
which we pay hard cash, are carried out. Work is
not being done because cleaners say they don’t
touch any windows on which notices are attached,
etc. Apart from these contractual matters, it also
seems to be unnecessary to stick stuff all over the
College without any esthetic sensibility or any
design consciousness and especially as we have so
many cork board surfaces devoted to information
purposes.

Will you please take note of this and as far as
possible try to improve the situation.

Many thanks.

HO YY Q

The Emily Carr College of Art facilities should
include a licenced daycare for children of
students, artists, faculty, staff and administrators
who require it.

A progressive educational institution should be
equipped with a daycare centre. I was shocked
that it should have been overlooked in the plan-
ning stages for the waterfront-renovated ECCA
buildings.

As the year is well underway, and there are no
such facilities yet operating, I have taken the in-
itiative of conversing with people within this in-
stitution, regarding this matter. I shall reiterate
some of their comments.

One suggestion was that the work-study pro-
gram (or some other such subsidiary source) grant
temporary ‘‘baby-sitting’’ facility at the Granville
Island Market building nearby or at the school, by
using some hallway space.

A few possible locations for a more permanent
structure are:

In a trailer off the sides of the plaster-room or a
facility attached to the student lounge in the back.

One person suggested a meeting, another a
poster, a third a petition to put pressure on the ad-
ministration.

Whatever the mode, let’s get onto it, because
people need not have to choose between “‘mean-
ingful art activities’ and children, where it would
be feasible to accommodate both.

At time of typesetting I have no indication that
the person who wrote regarding this issue is in fact
willing to act as a liaison for facilitating the crea-
tion of a day-care center within this college.

While this newsletter seeks to inform, I will not
take responsibility for instituting programs set out
within its pages. I am pleased therefore to provide

the following: THE BDITOR...

WE WANT A PRESCHOOL (18 mos. to 5 yrs.)
GROUP DAY-CARE FOR THE CHILDREN

TERESTED, WE CAN MAKE A SUBMIS-
SION TO THE DEAN’S COMMITTEE FOR
CONSIDERATION. IF YOU HAVE A CHILD
YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEND, PLEASE
