ALUMNUS MERGER STILL MOVING FORWARD

Despite governmentdelaysandthe uncertainties caused by the impend­ing election, at the General Assem­bly held Sept. 27, Father Patrick Ma­lone expressed a general attitude of optimism concerning the merger.

He states "There is no turning back, our problems are those of making Concordia cohesive and successful."

There are legal matters to be set­tled before Concordia can become a legal entity. These include the change of name to Concordia, the bond issue of Loyola College, and the legal ques­tion of whether it is possibl efor Loyola to transfer all its assets to a new insti­tution . He said that respons ibility for the decision of whether to act through an Order - in -Council or through new legislation rests ultimately wi th the Depa r tment of Education.

One of the concerns raised in the question and answer period centered on "what happens to th e two institu­tions in the interim?". Father Malone said that the Board of Concordia has recommended that action be pursued as far as possible, as if the new uni­versity were already in existence.

Another question concerned the is­suing of degrees. Father Malone point­ed out that Concordia degree cannot yet be issued, and that it is I ikely that fall convocation will be granted under the old arrangement with the Uni­versity of Montreal. Decisions with regard to spr ing convocation will be made soon.

Father Malone also emphasized that in some areas possible problems that are being attributed to Concordia also apply to Sir George and Loyola

LOYOLA ENROLMENT SOARS One of the few universities in the

country wi th an increased enrolment, Loyola has reg istered 9,872 students in day and evening courses this year. Of these 4,672 are regis tered in full ­time University and Collegial II. This yea r Collegial I is not offered. Ev en­ing Division accounts for 5,200 stu­dents.

University enrolment (apart from Collegial 11) has increased by 904 students. Evening Division is up 300 .

Grendon Haines, Director of Ad­missions, says that the increase is due in part to transfer students and to

older students returning to university programs. University structures, he says, allow students to leave and con­tinue on at a later date and many are doing this.

Doug Potvin, Director of Evening Division, says that while Evening Divi­sion has shown a student enrolment increase each year, there has been a return to student interest in job oriented courses. This year the Faculty of Commerce leads in course enrolment with 1300 registered in Business Administration and 1100 in Accounting .

STUDENTS AND BUSINESSMEN SEEK RAPPORT

The Alumni Association in conjunc­tion with Loyola Commerce Students is again sponsoring the program " Bridges", in which some of Mon­treal's leading business executives find themselves back in the college classroom for a day lead ing the life of the student of the '70 's.

The program is designed to pro­mote understanding between students and businessmen . Last year 17 busi­ness executives from major Montreal corporati ons spent the day at Loyola attending classes, participating in class discussions and eating in students' dining areas.

In the return half of the two-way learning experience, the student be­com es the executive's co-worker for a day, accompanying him in his daily routine in his office. Some students find themselves in fairly high -powered positions during their "business day". Among the executives who took part in last year's project were: Ronald J. Fairholm, President of Avon Cosme­tics; Donald McNoughton, President of Canadian Schenley Industries; and Otto C. Cleyn, Vice -President of Texa­co Canada.

The exp eriment was helpful to both parties and so is being repeated this year with many more peop le partici­pating. Further information can be obtained by contacting Marc Deserres at the Commerce Association or the Alumni O ffice.
