Propaganda and Community Links      for November 5 1999
Emily Addison

There are two issues that I see as present in terms of the Propaganda 
and Community Links Committee at this time. 

First, the planning for the concurrent education radio morning is coming 
along.  The date and time is November 19, 8am-11noon.  The goal is to 
introduce future teachers to the potential of Trent Radio in the hope 
that there will be education links that will appear from this exercise.  
The format will be three-one hour slots in which students will be 
introduced to radio and will get the change to put together an education 
show right on the spot.  Should be exciting! 

Second, from all directions, it sounds like the downtown colleges are 
slated for being closed.  This falls into this committee's area because 
it is partly 'community links'.  My personal opinion is that Trent Radio 
and Peter Robinson benefit from each other ... the fact that there are 
downtown colleges, attract students to become more involved in Trent 
Radio (since it seems kind of attached) as well as there being other 
benefits that go as far as snow removal. I suggest composing a letter 
and to try to book a meeting with Bonnie Patterson, as a community 
organisation that is involved closely with the university.  This is a 
large issue and I believe requires the Board's suggestions and approval 
before it is carried forward.
