Editorial Let's remember the Dean We all know someone whose heart belongs to Wilfrid Laurier University. He's devoted his days to students at Laurier. He's a friend, a confidant, an advisor, and a resource to all. Many people choose to come to Laurier because of its small size and family atmosphere. Dean Fred Nichols has been promoting that environment and the Cord WEEKLY contributing to its continuity for 35 years. He's the glue that has held WLU together before most of us were even born. We have elected representatives who run our corporated Student's Union. We have now elected a new "mas- "The tie that binds since 1926" cot" in Dean Nichols. It would be wonderful and inspiring to have his name displayed on the side of the building. Does it make much difference to me if I walk under the Dr. Alvin Woods sign? No - because Dr. Woods had no direct baring on my life. However, every time I would pass or walk under a Nichols sign I would be reminded of Dean Nichols and his wonderful attitude. Please, let us name the building before new students arrive who will not recognize the Nichols' name and be as proud of it as the current students are. We simply want to make the pre- sentation while Dean Nichols and all his familiar students are still at the school. How out of character would it be for Dean-o not to know those students? As a student, I'd like to thank Dean-o for making Laurier so memorable; for being friendly, inspiring and cor- A Laurier University Student Publication Wilfrid dial.
