ia Students and teachers return by KATY AUSTIN Elmvale's community college students are not going to lose their year. For most, it's a case of no hard feelings and let's get down to work. But some have returned to an atmosphere of tension. Both teachers and students went back to classes on Nov. 12 after legislation ended a three-week strike -among teachers. On the one hand, teachers are glad to be back for the sake of the students. On the other hand, they are angry that the issues of workload and _ over- crowding have not been resolved. Wendy Trace is an early childhood education student at Humber College, where overcrowding is par- ticularly bad. '"'Some of us are sitting on the counters," she said Around the campus, Trace has seen signs saying Same Time Next Year implying that teachers may not have given up the struggle. For Trace, classes run tunil Dec. 21 and celled, and classes don't end until May 19. But this still gives college students enough of a head start over high schoolers for summer jobs, she said. Class schedules have been adjusted in a similar way at other colleges, but the at- mosphere' on the campus seems _ less tense than it is at Humber. According to Ann Thompson, her teachers in the tourism course at Georgian College did not support the strike. On the first day back, however, they briefly discussed the teachers' stand, and then got back to work. No one in Thompson's year dropped out because of the strike. A comfortable at- mosphere was also reported by Heather Day at Sheridan College and by Anne-Louise McLean and Heather Guthrie at the Orillia campus of Georgian College. Gordon' Brathwaite, who lives near Anten Mills, teaches math at Georgian College in Barrie. He points out that a_ significant number of teachers did not support the strike; North-south interchange gets the green light: MPP Hon. George W. Taylor, Q.C. MPP for Simcoe Centre, announced today, approval has been given by Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications to provide a full north-south in- terchange at the junction of Highway 400 and Mapleview Drive. This much needed interchange has been made possible through the generosity and co-operation of the landowners in the effected area who have made available some of their land so that the long- awaited interchange can be completed, Taylor said. Moslon Ontario Breweries Limited has agreed to relocate their entrance to the east on Maple- view Drive at no cost to the Ministry and the City of Barrie will be reconstructing Mapleview Drive to facilitate the new interchange. It is expected that tendering will take place in the Spring of 1985 and that the project will begin shortly thereafter. resume on Jan. 2.

In trying to modernize Iran, the shah had hired Electronic Data Systems Corp. (EDS.), an American computer company headed by en- trepreneur Ross Perot. Their job was to set up a social security system for Iran's 32 million people. As Khomeini supporters take over Iran, and most Americans evacuale, two EDS staff are jailed without charges being laid. Back in America, boss Perot prepares for the worst and organizes a commando team of EDS executive employees run by ex-Green Beret Colonel "Bull" Simons. The executive "eagles" intend to make a surprise raid on the prison where the EDS employees are held, but reality gets in the way when they arrive in Tehran and survey a prison which bears no resemblance to their practice prison in Texas. 3ack {0 square one. The new rescue plans are complicated and as mercurial as the revolution going on in the streets.-A tale of extreme loyalty and courage told in dramatic detail (Signet, $4.95). Conversations with Glenn Gould, by Jonathan Cott, is just that -- lengthy dialogue previously published in Rolling Stone magazine in 1974. These interviews are occasionally fun, as Gould's wit is always near the surface. Or he is controversial: "I have to say that I was appalled then, as I am now, by what the Beatles did to pop music." Often, though, a Gould conversation is fairly heavy going. A few pictures, and a discography are in- cluded (Little, Brown, $9.95).

Now that the strike is over, he senses an_ un- comfortable avoidance of any discussion about the strike or the manner in which it was ended. Wi annual fowl supper LOUISE anes The annual fowl supper of the New Flos WI was held on Nov. 12 in the Phelpston school hall. Following the sumptuous dinner, Eva DeGorter presided for the program. A singsong of old favourites was enjoyed, also a contest by Helen Rawn, a relay by Eileen Kenney and a reading by Ina Smith. The highlight of the evening were slides of Springwater Park shown by Raymond Ward. He also gave a rundown of the history of the park which had its beginning in 1922. Two lucky draws for half a bushel of apples were won by Tony Porretta and Larry Rawn. © Canada brought the enjoyable evening to a close.
