Admissions halted to 20 arts programs; Students already enrolled will be allowed to finish U of A studies
Newspaper Name:
Edmonton Journal
Date of Publication:
August 19, 2013
Page(s):
A.1
Abstract:
The University of Alberta is suspending admission to 20 arts programs as the faculty grapples with a budget shortfall over the next three years. The programs were chosen because they have had 10 or fewer students enrolled as majors in each fall term, from 2005 to 2012. Students already enrolled in the programs will be allowed to complete their major. About 100 sections of arts courses were eliminated this year after a $1-million cut to the faculty's contract instructor budget. A $3-million shortfall in the faculty's 2013-14 budget also led to reduced graduate student funding and the removal of 11 faculty positions. The modern languages and cultural studies department is taking the brunt of the impact, with half of its majors suspended. Among the suspended programs is the Combined German and Scandinavian - Major.

Date of Publication:

Page(s):

Abstract:
Few retailers can boast of being in business for 75 years, but it was in 1938 that Cecil Charlebois and Karl Benzing opened their fur shops that were later merged to become Benzing Charlebois Furs, the largest independent furrier in the city. Charlebois' shop was on 1st Street S.W., and although he sold out in the 1980s he continued working there until well into his 80s. Benzing was created by Karl, a German furrier, in a small shop along 7th Avenue S.W. When Benzing became ill, Ritchie purchased his store in 1981. He merged with Charlebois in 1994 and relocated both into its current space in the Vintage building at 2nd Street and 11th Avenue S.W., a retail store that had previously been home to RC International Furs.

It was just one of many highlights of the Edmonton band's trip, which had opened three weeks earlier in London with a concert in Trafalgar Square. In Munich, their first performance was a concert near the City Hall square that attracted 10,000 people. The band was still in Germany eight days later when the Palestinian terrorist group Black September took 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team hostage before killing them all, along with a German police officer.

Foreign exchange appeal

Date of Publication:

Abstract:
Life-changing is how Katherine McGeean describes the Student Exchange Program for language development administered by the Alberta Teachers' Association. The program is geared for those in grades 11 and 12, but occasionally a Grade 10 student is accepted. The students are offered the opportunity not only to further develop their skills in their chosen second language, but also to immerse themselves in the culture of a foreign country. Currently, the ATA has partnerships in Spain, Germany, Japan, Macao, Mexico and Quebec. An Alberta student is paired with a student from one of these countries. The two spend nine to 12 weeks in each country, living together with their respective families. The students also attend each other's school. About 80 Alberta students, half from southern Alberta, take advantage of the program each year. Parents pay airfare - except for the Quebec exchange, which is government-funded - and provide spending money but, otherwise, there is no charge for the exchange. It is funded by the ATA. In addition to the student exchanges, the ATA also administers teacher exchanges. Alberta teachers can swap homes and jobs with teachers in Australia, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and other Canadian provinces. Teachers continue to be paid their salary and return to their job at the conclusion of the exchange. Exchanges usually lasts a year but can also be for shorter terms. The program, which is more than 30 years old, encourages teachers to experience other educational systems, make new friends and share the strengths of the Alberta education system abroad. There were 14 year-long exchanges in 2013 with 22 scheduled for 2014. There were 20 short-term exchanges with Australia, Germany, Denmark and Spain in 2013.
