The nature and significance of decline in the Canadian university system are discussed, some general and specific problems are outlined, and some specific recent cuts analyzed. (MSE)

Three groups of contemporary advocates of the humanities in higher education are compared: traditionalists who argue for the implicit worth of the humanities, pragmatists who see them as having real use-value in terms of contemporary social issues, and radicals who see them as a force for social change.

A study of goals as perceived by the presidents and board chairpersons compares their perceptions of existing and preferred goals and compares perceptions according to respondents' positions and the region, age, and size of the institutions. Perceptions were found to be similar, with process goals higher than traditional outcome goals. (MSE)

Teaching assistants are unionized at most large Ontario and British Columbia universities. The institutions tend to be urban, have large graduate enrollments, and have faced greater budgetary concerns at the time of unionization. Canada's public policy and labor relations decisions have favored unionization more than the United States's have. (MSE)

Care must be taken in examining studies that compare one method of teaching to another. The need for precise identification of the critical variables in instructional methods is stressed. The critical contribution of variables other than "method" should be examined. (Author/MLW)

British Columbia's College Councils were one province's solution to the need to impose central direction without sacrificing sensitivity to outlying parts. Their creation, particular structure, and demise are described. (Author/MLW)

University distance education has developed in Canada on a mainly intra-provincial and occasionally regional basis. Five kinds of development are identified: correspondence programs; open universities; "outport" programs; "extension" programs; and the network. (Author/MLW)

A study to explore faculty nonparticipation in teaching improvement programs is described. Faculty nonparticipation was viewed as a function of interacting personal and situational factors. Questionnaire results were compared along disciplinary lines and according to participation in instructional workshops. (Author/MLW)

The time pattern of university participation rates and the variations across provinces in the light of economic analysis are discussed. While cost factors, tuition fees and student aid have changed significantly, it is argued that their quantitative impact is unlikely to account for a major part of the enrollment increase.

Cognitive levels of 48 university students enrolled in humanities were assessed by Piagetian tasks. Three formal abilities were measured: combinatory, probability, control of variables. Results were analyzed according to school training effect and content of tasks. (Author/MLW)

Consideration of a wide variety of options in maximizing income and controlling expenditures is recommended for Australian universities. Although marketing, fund raising, investment, and other income-producers are possibilities, tight control of expenditures is seen as the most effective retrenchment strategy. (MSE)

A study comparing the expected increased life earnings with the educational and other costs of foreign graduate students studying in Australia suggests that in addition to the estimated social benefits, the private benefits to students indicate that the financial aid awarded them is a worthwhile investment.

Australia's new faculty exchange policy and program are described and evaluated by two of its earliest participants. It is concluded that the benefits are significant and the costs tolerable and that exchange rather than study leave encourages continuity, institutional involvement, and greater equity between institutions during the life of the program.

Several theories about student unrest in the late 1960s and early 1970s are noted, and the situation and student population of La Trobe University at the time are described. It is proposed that the unrest was both an outgrowth of the political climate and a developmental experience for the individual students. (MSE)

A study of the feasibility of charging real money for computer time used for academic, as contrasted with administrative, computing is presented. It is concluded that despite the problems of an in-house charging system, change to a real-money system is not justified in a small institution in which simpler financing can be accomplished. (MSE)

Intervention is necessary to redistribute tenured positions among faculty of different ages and to prevent age group periodicity resulting from periods of growth. This intervention, corresponding to Britain's "new-blood lectureships," is not drastic but must be accomplished soon to avert serious staffing problems. (MSE)

Changes in access to higher education in Canada for individuals born in the first half of this century are examined and compared for university and nonuniversity programs and for gender, language group, and socioeconomic background.

There is a strong movement toward legal abolition of fixed-age retirement in Canada. Several factors justify the existing practice, but these arguments are unlikely to prevail, and institutions should consider administrative measures such as facilitation of early retirement, modified benefit plans, and more systematic faculty assessment throughout careers.

The results of a study of chain compounds, heavily modified noun phrase structures, used in the language of three engineering journals are presented. The findings conlude that: chain compounds appear to be more common in American than British English; chain compounds can be classified in several groups according to their structure, the most common being the noun group (e.g., lap-and-shoulder strap) and the preposition/adverb + noun group (e.g., through-the-lens viewfinder). No systematic rules...

Serious discussion of the status of children's culture in Sweden began 15 to 20 years ago. Today, it is increasingly realized that children need and have a right to personal artistic experiences. A report presented in the spring of 1983 by the National Council for Cultural Affairs on interaction between preschools and local cultural life prompted municipalities to invest greater effort in cultural activities at preschools. Another effect of the study was to bring about reassessment of training...

The paper examines culture as an influential variable in the shaping of the value system within the sturcture of black families specifically those with mentally retarded members. Typical negative views of the black culture included such characteristics as matriarchal, unstable, and pathological. More recent views have focused on strengths, including strong kinship bonds, strong work orientation, and adaptability of family roles. Two strengths, the extended family or kinship network and the...

Research generally influences state policy only indirectly. On the other hand, research is not utterly without influence. For example, research findings about schools and colleges which have influenced policy include: the appendices that accompanied "On Further Examination," the College Board report on the SAT score decline; the Southern Regional Education Board's Task Force on Higher Education and the Schools; the Western Interstate Consortium for Higher Education's comprehensive...

A study explored the perceptions and attitudes that 96 Wisconsin women (age range 18-95; average age 34) held toward leisure. Subjects were interviewed personally by members of a University of Wisconsin (Madison) class on "Women and Leisure," using parts of the Leisure Attitudes Inventory concerning three factors: society's role in leisure planning, self-definition through leisure and work, and amount of leisure perceived. These three factors were then compared to the demographic...
