He is expected to establish the councils by Dec. 15 so they can meet in January to advise units on the preparation of their final five-year plans. To help units with their plans, Clark has prepared the document Strategic Plan- ning for the 1990s, which provides parameters and a description of suggested planning procedures. The parameters are that for at least the next five years, present faculty and staff positions will be maintained with junior replacements allowed for resignations and retirements; priorities for dealing with space needs will be determined by fund- raising abilities; total enrolments will remain constant; and the financial climate will THE CSS "GROUP OF SEVEN" improve only slightly.

As one of the few universities in Ontario that accept first-year students in January and in May, Guelph is particularly concerned about students who expected to complete high school in December, says Clark. But the disruption of classes will also affect students who expect to finish school in June and enrol at university in September, he says. In some cases, it may not be possible for schools to submit marks by the established date of April 1986. For more information, contact Peter Tron, Admissions, 821-2130. 0
