In practice. we learn little more than the sex. address. and occupation 1setf-descritred) of candidates: even age remains a mystery in some cases. Unless we at- tend one of the few all-oandidates meetings. we normally learn little beyond vague labels about their programs. " is precisely because my idea orppblic service requires open and intelligent communication with voters that I am returning to the article format during this campaign. If elect‘ ed again. I shall continue these reports. First. a word about myself for those‘who don't know me. I am Canadian-ttom and raised. 41. married. father of three teenagers. I was educated at U.B.C. and Stanford Universi- ties. I have lived in various parts of Canada. the US. and Europe. with a consequent variety of educational experien- ces for my children. After teaching in major American uni- versities. I joined the department of history at the University of Waterloo in 1970 and have served as its chairman. Raised in a family which stressed the value of public ser- vice. I have participated in a number of community activi- ties. notably as director of the K-W Social Planning Council. Central Volunteer Bureau and Community Information Cen- tre, as well as through my term as Trustee. Through these activities I have come to know the community well. and I believe that my record of public service shows a demon- strated commitment to the welfare of the community and a capacity for effective public service. , flown my own hotne (123 Greenbtiet Drive) and some Income property in Waterloo. and have a'vesled interest in seeing that taxes arefmtt, lo , nieimytn. I first ran for the Board in 1972, defeating Lynn Wool- stencroft. who narrowhy defeated me in 1974. I was out of the country in 1976 and unable to run. So this is my first chance to throw my hat back into the ring. What did t do as Trustee? I fought especially hard for the following policies: - smaller classes for grades ra. because the early years are the most critical for skills and attitudes: - French from grade 1 instead of grade 6. because max- imum effectiveness requires early training in a foreign language; - - more Canadian content in the curriculum and school li- braries; - improving teacher-Board relations (it was a time of teacher strikes elsewhere); - irttroducing a program for gifted children; _ maiotammg Alexandra School. already threatened; - more emphasis on the realitres of the working world throughout the curriculum: - greater communrty use of schools Not all of these campaigns resulted in flat-out success. There are 21 Trustees and not all share the same values or concerns, The bureaucracy balked at some things. But there were important successes approval of the policy of smaller classes for grades 1-3: the pilot protect in French trom grade 1. Since expanded. a new emphasis on Canadian con- tent and. in the technical programs only. on on-the-job reali- ties. a modest reduction in the srze of the central adminis- tration The only all-out failure was to get a program for gift- ed children, an idea which the Board finally approved last week Another idea I tried to float. that for an alternate school for students who could not fit into the existing cur- rlculum and who either dropped out or were drrected, With- out any necessary desire or aptitude, into technical pro- grams. did not receive any support at the time In asking for your support again, I want to continue With the unfinished busrness But I also want to press for other goats too There us another article m thus Issue of the Chronicle on some of my present goats, next week two more wnll explore neighbourhood schools and ways to reduce educational en» pendltuves For more tnformattort, call me at 886-5329 Emanuel-ult- Tad-v .
