They deserve all thecredit we can give them,” Hindmarch said. “The Canadian programof prepara- tionis improving all thetime and Seoul in 1988 should see even better results. Hopefully, we will be able to getmore financial support for Can- ada’s Olympic athletes in the future.” Andas Paul Steele puts it, “An increasein financial support could very wellbe thedifference between the four foot margin between our gold and the American silver and a larger, more comfortable victory.”It’s a ques- tion of priorities, and something that sportsenthusiasts will havetime to ponder over the next four years until the Games in Calgary and Seoul.

Canada’s boombabies ofthefifiieshave become the yo- add@ofthe eighties.

Between 1952and 1965, Canada experiencedan incredible baby boom.Today, those boom babies have grown up.And now, there are nearly7 million Canadians between the agesof 18 and 35. That’s almost 2 million more than normal birth rates might have produced. This population bubbleis changing our society It’s being reflected in our labour force, in accom- modation patterns and in contemporary social standards. But also in a growing demandfor goods and services, information and entertainment. Our changing societyis being reflected atthe Commerce. We’re adjustingto better suit the needs of today’s young adults.For example, the average ageof many Commerce loan officersis now between 25 and 30. We’re activein helping young adults acquire homes. During the recent high interest rate period, we pioneered a variable rate mortgage. We’re also bringingnew technologies on stream, such as automated teller machines,to pro- vide the service flexibility young adults demand. For many years, the Commercehas been a bank young Canadian adults have turnedto for financial help and guidance.For today’s young people that remains something they can counton. In a changin world, you can count tona e Commerce.

Although the Special Ed. course is not a large program (only about 25 to 30 students are enrolled each year),its cancellationcould mean a significant loss to the school system. The course is concernedwith educating “excep- tional children”,those who are not only handicapped (mentally retarded, learningdisabled, or who have sen- sory impairments,speech and lan- guage difficulties,behavior disorders or physical handicaps), but also those who are gifted or talented. This group represents a surprisinglyhigh 19.9 percent of all children.

22 ChronicleiFull 1984 Thepublic awareness campaign is Nell underway.Vancouver Mayor Mike Harcourt declared September24- 30 as ”Special EducationWeek’. 4nnetthas planned a highly visible Zampaign for that week, including a picnic for childrenwho will benefit from thefund, benefit concerts on :ampus,wheelchair athletes playing zelebrities in a basketball game, a Jaz- zercise class, and a grand celebrity car rally. The goal is to raise $500,000 for the endowment of the chair in Special Education, which will provide $50,000 in interesteach year in perpetuity. Theuniversity will match this amount,making $100,00O/year avail- able for teachers and research for the Special Ed. program. Annett thinks the money could pos- sibly be raised strictly from corporate ionations, but that it would be a mis- rake to do it that way. Although the public aspect of the appeal entails a tremendousamount of volunteer work to succeed, it alsooffers the greatestpotential forgenerating awareness. “The public awareness campaign,” ;hesays, ”enables us to tell people 3bout the real essence of this appeal, Athout which it’s simply fundraising. 3ur message is that a substantial por- tion of our society - very close to 20 percent - can be helped to lead fuller 2nd more independent lives, with the help of newresearch and better- trained teachers. Our campaign is at khe crux of that, enabling these highly motivatedstudents tobecome those 3etter-trainedteachers.” 0

Alumni Media is pleased to present 9 reproductions of works by the lata Benjamin Chee Chee. These are the only reproductions authorizedby the artist’s estate.

A mainly self-taught artist, Chee Cheewas a prominent memberof the second generation of woodland Indian painters. Unlike many of his contemporaries who employed direct and “primitive” means, Chee Chee’s work was influenced by modern abstraction. His style reduced line and image in keeping with international modern art. At the age of 32, at the height of his success,Chee Chee died tragically by suicide. These reproductions are printed onhigh quality, textured stock and measure 48 cm x 61 cm (1Yx24”). I II 7
