Point of View '

     Now that we as students are in the final weeks of the 1984 
     
     spring semester, many of us are busily preparing for our 
     
     eventual departure from the corridors of academia onto the 
     
     stage of procuring summer employment. 
     
    

    
     This transition for most of us will, present a greater 
     
     challenge than ever experienced before. ‘ 
     
    

    
     With youth prospects for summer employment dwindling 
     
     each year due to an unstable and not-so-healthy national 
     
     economy, students are forced to face up to the realities of 
     
     the times. 
     
    

    
     However, in facing this reality, we as students must never 
     
     allow ourselves to throw in the towel in despair nor give up the 
     
    
   
   
    
     'fight to move forward, which is inherent in us all. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Therejs hope for all of us -— what we must do is turn that 
     
    
   
   
    
     ' hope into reality. 
     
    
   
   
    
     " 'I This summer, the Provincial Government has once again 
     
    
   
   
    
     decided to go ahead with plans to offer its Youth Incentive 
     
    
   
   
    
     : Program. This program provided $2,000 to enterprising youth 
     
    
   
   
    
     "2 
     
    
   
   
    
     who wish to create employment opportunties for themselves 
     
     during the summer months. 
     
    

    
     Students are thus encouraged by the Provincial Department 
     
     of Industry to devise schemes that will create meaningful 
     
     employment. ' 
     
    

    
     But, most important, a forum is provided in which young 
     
     achievers can put their talents to work in a meaningful and 
     
    
   
   
    
     Research list compiled 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Office of Research and Development is preparing 
     
     a publication which will record all research and scholarly 
     
     activity undertaken by academic staff between January 1, 
     
     1977 and December 31, 1983. 
     
    

    
     An attempt has been made to contact all part-time 
     
     sess‘ionals and lecturers on campus for contributions. If, 
     
     however, you have been overlooked, please contact Linda

     resourceful way to benefit both students and the economy 
     
    
   
   
    
     as a whole. 
     
    
   
   
    
     More than ever, students are now afforded the opportunity 
     
     to put their ideas and talents to work. 
     
    

    
     It is up to us to take that step forward and prove to 
     
     those in charge that we are capable of such a challenge. 
     
    

    
     We all have ideas of how we want to see our lives more 
     
     forward, and a youth incentive program is one means by 
     
     which we can move that idea from paper to reality. 
     
    

    
     It has often been said that we are the future of tomorrow. 
     
    

    
     It is now up to us to prove to our elders that we are 
     
     willing and able to stand up and be counted. 
     
    

    
     If we as young people want a better tomorrow, we must 
     
     begin to show these people that we are prepared to make that 
     
    
   
   
    
     better tomorrow for ourselves. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can 
     
    
   
   
    
     do for your country. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Don’t expect society to give you a job on a silver platter. 
     
    

    
     If you go around thinking that, then you might as well go 
     
     back to sleep and forget about trying to make it in this world. 
     
    

    
     There are numerous opportunities out there for us young 
     
     people. We must, first of all, be pepared to show society that 
     
     we are worth the chance and the opportunity to show what 
     
    
   
   
    
     we are made of. 
     
    
   
   
    
     This summer, let us show them that we are committed to 
     
     securing a better tomorrow for all of us. 
     
     “And that’s my point of view.”
