Sure, It's Harder for a convict to work than to stay in jail, but in long run it's better, says Jim Sharp himself an ex-con and now director of Standford House, where five such men live

Jim Doris, president of the Kappa Alpha fraternity: I guess we're still the most Anglo frat, he says. But that doesn't mean we're all Anglos. When you look at our 1984 annual portrait, it's far different from 25 years ago.

Running a railroad, even if it's government-owned, means behaving like a business. Jean Cormier, vice-president of public relations for Canadian National, says many people don't understand that. Cormier said that because of its government association, many people view the railway as inefficient, bureaucratic, wasteful. CN is out to change that, although it has many problems because it still is an Ottawa-operated and deficit-plagued entity.

Yea. To Principal John Plumpton of Jane Junior High School in North York for trying to get more students to read books. Twice a week staff and students are given 50 minutes of the day just to read - anything they like. Some of them may discover that reading is a joy, even though it's a little more work than watching a TV scree. It's a nice idea.
