Instruction in FOR- TRAN and APL languages will be available to those students having some computer background. Students and teachers from St. Robert’s Catholic High School in Markham will be among several high school students who will visit the University of Waterloo Monday. The students will spend the day learning about computers. They will attend lectures during the morning and in the afâ€" ternoon will use one of the" multi-million dollar? computers on the UW- campus to find their own solutions to problems. Those with sufficient knowledge may spend the entire day working with computers. Consultants will be available to assist them. Students with no previous computer science experience will receive lectures on problem solving and actual use of the com- puter using a FORTRAN- like language called TUTOR. UW has been offering these “computer science days“ to high school students for more than 14 years. Last year. 9000 students from 210 high schools in Ontario visited the UW campus. UW feels it is important to inform young people about computers since increasingly, society' is looking to the computing profession to solve its information-processing problems. A petition will be requested from the councils of Markham, Vaughan and Richmond Hill to support hi request. said Mr. Ston - A group of 39 students; 36 from Richmond Hill High School and three from Langstaff Secon- ‘ dary School, set out just after dawn Thursday, April 5, on a foray into Quebec.

It is a 10-hour trip by bus and train from Rich- mond Hill. St. Roberts students at Waterloo University The Parkway Belt Task Force. who are respon- sible for planning the hydro corridor through the Parkway Belt, have not yet held an impact hearing for the area east of Highway 48. 'Mr. Stong said he will ask Energy Minister James Auld for an Environment Assessment Hearing study on this area east of Highway 48 which includes Box Grove in Markham. Last week Mr. Stong was advised the town of Richmond Hill had been refused such an en- vironmental hearing by the Minister. because Parkway Belt hearings had been held in this area. His reasoning for this request of the minister is that he feels Ontario Hydro “cannot act in a vacuum". Mr. Stong said he feels the conclusions of such a h earing would have an effect on the whole line. attempting through Hill ‘5 hydro lines S tong still 1‘0 P/essiss ville stop Richmond Hill students visit Quebec town This was a precaution in the event that they might be met by hostile forces in La Belle province.
