"t take pride in having been part of the administration at UW, which has gained a widespread reputation as well-managed university. It is because of the existing and ongoing strength and depth of experienced managers at Waterloo that I feel I can leave at this time," he said.

Some faculty members he said are reluctant to be inter- viewed on the radio while others fear their comments may be mis, interpreted or misquot- ed in the press. in preparing the pamphlet, special focus was placed on clarifying the different goals and values of media people - that many reporters, for ex- ample, are working with rigid deadlines and require informa- tion presented in a sim- plified form.
