| No one expects us to learn to draw in eight weeks. It is only
an introduction. Nothing, no one, stops us from continuing to
‘Practice drawing after those eight weeks are over. We can contin-
‘ue to explore and read about color beyond the end of October if
\we really care. Enough rationalizations! Face the real problems,
you complainers- your unwillingness to work hard for what you
profess you want.

Invitation for Consultation
ee

by Jean-Marie Michaud

We have all beard something in the past few weeks about our
controversial Five Year Plan; a draft document for discussion pre-
pared by a committee of administrators appointed by the Dean. In
response to the reaction that followed the presentation of the Plan,
Mr. Hudson, who is also unsatisfied with the document, invited us
to write down what are the changes we'd like to see... and meet
him to talk about it.

MANY SHARE THE OPINION THAT THIS OPEN INVITATION

Many share the opinion that this open invitation -for- consulta-
tion would have been more effective if it had been offered to the
College community at an earlier stage (i.e. when the document
was being prepared exclusively by the committee of administrators);
for sure, alot of friction would have been avoided... maybe we
wouldn't read in the Climate Committee's February Report that ''some
administrators are seen as working in isolation from the faculty...''

The more an administration follows the guidance of its com-
munity the more sense of a family is increased in it. “only things
that accord in tone, vibrate together’ (Confuscius).

It is important that we all share our views on the growth of
our College. We build our world according to our understanding
of it (think of all that is left out...). My concern is how
we create our College V.S. how we let others create it for us.
Either way, this environment will reflect on how we create...

P.S. If you have any thought about this issue, let others know...
