I thought we made this clear to Mr. Ba- con. “I thought we had asked for general policy to be outlined} ' er roads in a broad sense in the official plan"? Member Donald Barnett stat-i d that “the basic concept of ollector roads had not met vith council’s approval and this ‘eport was supposed to pre- ent an alternative plan.” Councillor Lois Hancey agreed hat council had decided “to de- ete entirely any reference to collector roads. I doubt if council would accept the refer-‘ ences here." The revised Bacon Report refers at various places to arterâ€" ial. local access roads. and col-‘ lectors. Its purpose is to “provide for the organized circulation of traffic and to minimize congesâ€" tion and interference to the flow of traffic. ‘ Chairman Harry Sayers saidl a report by Planning Consultant Planning- Ii’dleido scope By CATHY WILSON One of the oldest traditions at university which is now being adopted more and more by high schools is that of initiation. If you asked someone the origin of this custom of introduction or admission. doubtless you would receive a hazy answer if any. The closest guess that I. myself. can make is that initiation is a. form of the old tribal custom of recognition of the coming of age of a youth or of his new status as one of the men of the tribe. This was a process carried out with full cere- moin and ritual including tests of strength. tolâ€" erance. stealth. cunning. etc. to prove the worth- iness of the youth to be called a man. Today initiation is still serious business but the ceremony part of it is all in fun. A recent. typical example is last Friday’s initiation of grade 9 students at Bayview Secondary School. The initiation was organized by grade 11‘) students and members of the grade 12 graduating classes, supervised by an advisor to the students’ council. Their aims were entirely commendable: “1) To give the senior students an opportun- ity to officially welcome to Bayview all grade 9 students. and "2) to provide YOU (grade 95) with an opportunity to display YOUR potential. and thus indicate what the future of our school will be." The methods. from a grade 9 point of view anyway. were doubtful. Boys and girls were both required to wear apparel slightly less than normal: to carry strange objects. such as a teddy bear or purse. a marble (to roll down the hall with one‘s nose. hatch). and an old toothbrush (to polish seniors‘ shoes of course) : and also to know certain salient pieces of information. such as: "How many air holes are there. in a loaf of Millbrook‘s bread?" and. "Is water wetter when it’s raining?" But most formidable of all to the grade 9s was the initiation pledge which they were advised to recite. bowing. in the presence of any senior: "Oh omnipoteut and maguanimous senior students. shed your wealth of knowledge and benevolence upon us. We are insignificant and a z E 2 E , 5‘ .a O :r 5. o ;: _. a. O o C “The roads in the area are classified in accordance to their“ principal function. Since the town is now substantially built up within its borders no violent change in the traffic pattern is‘ anticipated and no major change to the road network is envisaged." The report goes on to say all roads within the area shall be classified as arterial. collector or local access roads. General standards for right-ofâ€"way widths are listed as from 86 to 120 feet for arterial: 66 to 86 for collectors. and 66 for local access roads. However. the minimum re- quirement may be reduced to meet conditions imposed by ex- sting development where it would be impractical to secure additional land." The board decided to file the report and approach Mr. Bacon for additional information. It was at a committee-ofâ€" the-whole meeting in July council disposed of collec- tor roads which had become controversial to the point where it looked like the)‘ would hold up the oflicial plan for some time. Causing the most coutrovctsy were original intentions of esâ€" tablishing Centre Street as a norauce. Oh! senior students who possess moral rectitude beyond all reproach. may we. as mun- dane and scurvy as we are. be your humble and faithful servants."
