THE DURHAM COLLEGE

Ontario government cuts to colleges. According to Durham College president Gary Polonsky, the college will have to cut dozens of full-time and part-time positions to keep up with the cuts expected from the Ontario government at the end of November. Polonsky said the cuts from the Harris gov- ernment will be much greater than earlier anticipated and most of them will occur this year, * He had originally anticipated that DC would lose about $4 million over two years.

PubllihT: Bill Swan EdItor-ln-Chlol: Gerald Ror Ad manager: Bill Merrlon Jean Chretien deserves his peace of mind The attempted assassination of Prime Minister Jean Chretien has shaken Canadians' faith in the security of their leaders. Security measures for political figures in Canada and the United States reflect the number of death threats they receive. American presidents receive security threats daily, according to an article in the Globe and Mail. And since September 1994 there have been three attempted assina- tions in the United States. In Canada, security threats are rare and this is the first attempted assassination of a prime minister. Compared to the United States, Canada has had fewer Ca vitalism not always good political threats, but is not immune to crime.

SJSTOW DAY

Final examinations and evaluations for the Fall semester will soon be here. Most will be held from December 11 to December 15. » However, you may have noticed that December usually coincides with the beginning of Winter, and Winter can mean SNOW.

It has been several years since a winter storm has hampered examinations/evaluations. But, should a winter storm cause closure of the College during the published examination/ evaluation days, the examinations/ evaluations scheduled on that day will be rescheduled to early January 1996. A Grade reports will be mailed from the College before Christmas, and should be in your mailbox between Christmas and New Year's. You should make sure the College has your correct mailing address.
