The experiment will run from January 1, 1971 to April 30, 1971.

To achieve the greatest efficiency it is a prerequisite that uniformity of presentation be achieved, overcrowding on bulletin boards avoided and the freshness of news maintained. There are basically three types of bulletin boards within the University: Students, Departmental and Official. The supervision of the student notice boards is a student responsibility; likewise the Departmental notice board is the responsibility of the department concerned; the Official notice board is the responsibility of the Department of Information and Development. There are at present eight locations designated as Official bulletin board locations. These boards are being purchased and it is expected they will be in place later this month. The objective of 'Official' bulletin boards is not to curtail posting but rather to handle notices in an orderly manner. It seems important to draw attention to the fact that there are a number of places in the University where notices are not to be posted because they give rise to maintenance problems: 1) ELEVATORS, 2) ON WALL SURFACES; surfaces are damaged because dirt adheres to those spots where scotch, adhesive or masking tape is used, 3) GLASS SURFACES; most of the glass used in the building is thermophane and if a poster is stuck on it unequal expansion results when the sun is shining on the glass. -5- BROCK CAMPUS NEWS JAN 7/71 The cleaning and maintenance staff have been instructed to remove all notices, posters, etc. from these areas. MASS MAILING Increased mailing costs and certain duplications in our current mailing lists have encouraged the University to undertake a review of mailing procedures with a view to cutting down wasteful costs.
