He pointed out that in these times of rapid change knowledge was accumulated so rapidly that it was estimated to double every nine yea^rs. This ntoana an increasing need for specialization. Dr. Bowen contmued, and with specializa- tion comes problems of commu- nication. He noted that it was es- timated that erven the most arti- culate person could get across only 60 per cent of what he meant v/hen speaking to people with wiioro he talked the same language. Therefore, he said, more was needed than just spe- icialization and the college hoped to accomplish this, he said. In the "classical sense." Dr. Bowen continued, the students had ended their school days, and were now in a voluntary stream of continuous adult education. Much of what is learned today would be obsolete in a few years he said, and it today's students wanted to keep up in then' fields, they would have to return to the college. As a result, gra- duation would not mean "good bye", he concluded, but rather j"Au revoir".

Graduates And Friends Gather By Canal For Saturday's First Niagara College Convocation At Welland The Evening Tribune - June 10 1968 FIRST NWGARfl CONVOCATION Bob Welch Challenges Graduates To Three "Rs" Of Responsibility

Provincial secretary anrf Mi' nister of Citizenship Robert Welch Saturday called for a renewal of 'dedication to the responsi- ,ble society. ..if only to ensure that the democratic principi are not swept away by tides of indifference or currents of alientation.'

He told the first annual con- vocation of Niagara College of Applied Arts and Technology that in addition to those of edu- cation, another three "r's" were needed. There had to be res- pect for the rights and dignities of others, restraint from exces- sive emotions and responsibili- ty, which contains both of the others. The time, he said, has come to stress the positive aspects of life and the achieving of goals, for the only way that a good so- ciety could develop was through the development of good indivi- duals and good citizens.

He decried ttie abandoning of "old -fashioned virtues" and "middle-class values" by those 'who expect freedom "without ' responsibility. These people Mr. Welch said, were able to per- form only as puppets on a string pulled by what was "in" for their group. "LOST TOUOB- "We've lost touch with rea- lity." he said, and become "al- |most psychotic with regai-d to ne'er-do-wells and drifters".

I He said that he was for the 'achievers "the one who sets out

to do something and does it... the one who carries his share of the world squarely on his shoulders." However. Mr. Welch noted that it had to be recognized ?^RJL^'-e^r:S^: that "the talented are no more responsible for their talents than the underdogs for their plights'*, and that those plights Niagara should not jrON.

New Students Line Up To Resistor Yesleidav I'or Classes At Niagara College

Classes Begin Sept. 16

Niagara Registration Draws 1,000 Students

Niagara College of Applied Arts and Technology has not the 1,500 full-time students predicted for its second year ol operation. But two-thirds of them haw showed up.

Approximately 1,000 students from around the peninsula registered yesterday and today at the Wetland carmpus in vari- ous diploma, programs. Most of them were freshman, the school having had only 450 regular students last year.

Shifting Classes Set

' The more than lOO-per-cent increase in enrolment has for-

ced Niagara to estaWish two shift systems for its students. A build- construction strilte prevented the fall opening of a new

ing which was designed to accommodate at least half the classes.

Now, students will have to shift until it is completed —

hopefully no longer then November. Work has begun once again after the two-month strike.

Oiientation Next Week

Once the students have completed registration today, they'll

undergo orientation — if they're freshmen — beginning Sept, 9, and start classes Sept. 16.

Hundreds of other Niagara College students — these ones j>art-tim6 or extension students — will register for their Piles Of Texts Attract Freshmen In Niagara's Book Store —Staff photos by John McTaggart ' courses between Sept. 23 and 28. Niagara Falls Review - Sept, 6, 1968

Alice looked it over and won- dered about the proposal to tax families as a unit, rather than taxing each member as an indi- vidual. She discovered the earn- ings of children from paper routes, for instance, would be added to family earnings and taxed at top marginal rates.

When the kids grow up and leave the family unit the Carter Pill really becomes tough to swallow. If junior inherited shares of stock from his grandfather at age 11 the fam- ily unit paid tax at that time.! Now he's 21. Over the past 10 years the stocks have doubled in value. The family unit must pay tax on the gain in value, even though the stock is not sold and junior takes it with him. Worse still, the value of all property taken by junior becomes tax- able income of his new tax unit. But at least there's a $5,000 exception on this.
