COLLEGE BOARD
The College Board, at its meeting on Wednesday, 1984 June 27, approved the purchase of the
new Computer Aided Drafting equipment recommended by the Department Department in order to
modernize its programs and introduce Computer Aided Drafting upgrade training. The
purchase will include 18 C.A.D. Tektronix workstations driven "by the General Data MV 10000
mainframe computer, 1 large Plotter, 2 small Plotters, and the Anvil software package. It
is hoped that the equipment can be installed some time at the beginning of September. The
Drafting Department is to be complimented for a very thorough and lengthy examination of
all the options and suppliers. It has not been an easy task to do all this preparation
work on top of the regular departmental instructional responsibilities. The Board
expressed its sincere appreciation for the excellent work done by the Committee,
consisting of the Department Head and Drafting instructors, the Director of Computer
Services, and the Director of Purchasing.

FAREWELL TO SAM LEWINDON
It is with sadness that the VVI sees Sam Lewindon, Department Head for Hairdressing, leave
the campus to go to new challenges at K.E.C. Sam has, for a number of years, been the

driving force behind new activities here on campus and will be sorely missed. His
enthusiasm and positive attitude has been a great contribution here and I am sure he will
continue to serve the College well at K.E.C.
