If you are a 1st year student the event will help you make sure that what you are studying is really the field for you. Who knows — you might discover another field which will excite you even more. All 2nd year students should seek out even more information on their field o f study and broaden their understanding o f it. This way you will have a sense o f direction in your studies. The question “ what are all these studies leading to” will finally be answered. 3rd year students will establish some contacts and tell the com pany r e p r e s e n ta tiv e s th a t th e y are graduating and furthermore, are in­ terested in their company. Show some enthusiasm and they might just remember you at interview time. Best o f luck to all! See you there. <

Where were you on Thursday night?

A C e n tu r y O f C o stu m e by Jean-Marie Papelian In recognition o f the Women’s Centennial at McGill, a special exhibit has been mounted in the Costume Gallery o f the McCord Museum. The display, “ A Centennial o f Costume: 1884-1984” , shows exam ples o f clothing from the period and features some very interesting pieces unique to McGill.

Higher education was only one o f the things women were struggling to at­ tain 100 years ago. They were also seeking legal status, and many wished to enter the work force. The McCord exhibit includes a publication o f an ac­ companying movement', entitled Dress

and Health or How to be Strong, a Book fo r Ladies (Montreal, 1876), continued on page 3

If you’re one o f those vacillating students who has changed his/her course plan since registration, you’re probably going to have to line up one more time. As in past years, Arts and Science students who wish to drop courses from their schedules or add new ones are required to make the changes in Dawson Hall some time this week. And according to Angeline Lucas, the Senior Advisor in the Student Affairs Office, estimated 3900 students will be doing just that. Students making changes to required courses will not be finished when they go through the Dawson Hall lines. They must then see their advisors to approve the changes, and, finally,

return the completed form to Student Affairs. However, students making changes to elective courses worth six credits or less need not see advisors. Lucas recognizes the drawbacks o f the present system. “ With only four full-time advisors, we have no time to counsel the student — or even make sure he’s been attending the lectures o f his new course,” she admits. While she acknowledges the inconve­ nience o f the procedure, Lucas points out that we could be far worse off. “ There may be a time in the future when we simply won’t allow course changes, as is presently at the case at Concordia and elsewhere,” she says. I think we’d probably all rather wait in line.
