With the recent spate of meningitis infections in Quebec and in the Ottawa-regions, and the deaths of six youths in the province, parents of teenagers and children are understandably con­ cerned. In the special two-part Off the Cuff, two Concordia health experts explain some of the dangers. ·

Teaching English as a Second Language is big business for some and a necessity for others. In Montreal, where no one takes language for granted, a recent fourth edition of TESL Professor Palmer Acheson's job guide is essential for those looking to teach English here or abroad.

Off the Cuff is a weekly column of opinion and insight into major issues in the news. If you are a Concordia faculty member and have something to say "off the cuff," call CTR at 848-4882.

In this special two-part Off the Cuff column, two Concordia experts have been asked to quell some of the hysteria and misinformation circulating about meningitis, the deadly disease that has claimed the lives of six Quebec youths.

In the past month, meningitis has become a household word and concern. A number of teenagers in Quebec and in the Ottawa region have contracted the meningococcal infection, which attacks the brain and spinal cord. Provincial health officials insist there is no epidemic, but have ordered mass vaccinations as a precautionary measure.

Concordia Biology Professor Claire Cupples teaches micro-biology and has con­ ducted research in bacteria. She explains how the meningococcus bacterium works. Health Services' Catherine Lounsbury is a physician and medical consultant. She says though there is cause for concern, meningitis is not as contagious as the flu.

Engineering programmes produce people who build, among other things, bridges, buildings and motors. Science programmes produce people who carry out research and cure diseases. But what kind of people do political science programmes produce?

Idealistic student

This question was foremost on the mind of Reuvin Carin, a undergraduate student in Political Science. It is, in it­ self, not an unusual question for the idealistic student, eager to change the world, to ask. In this case, what is un­ usual is the student himself.
