A PROPOSED three-month traffic study has delayed final decision by North Vancouver District Council on whether to proceed with the extension of Montroyal Boulevard.

Ald. Stephen McMinn pro- posed the study, saying that until a comprehensive study has been done on the exten- sion area, he cannot make a final decision on the matter.

Mayor Marilyn Baker agreed, saying any decision

made on the Montroyal ex- tension would affect the com- munity for years to come. She added it was necessary to obtain data which analyzed traffic patterns in the area. McMinn’s resolution calls

for an independent study which will look at such aspects as the source and

destination of traffic using the Madley-Norwood route; the immediate and future im- pact of the Montroyal exten- sion; the immediate and future impact on the area if the Montroyal extension is not undertaken; the impact if

the route is open through to Lonsdale; and a study of possible east-west routes. Ac- cording to McMinn: ‘‘Traffic usually takes the quickest, not necessarily the shortest routes.””

The terms of reference on the sue are expected to be completed in three wecks, with the traffic study pro- jected for completion in three months.

Ald. Craig Clark and Joan Gadsby both opposed McMinn’s resolution, on the grounds they are against any extension of Montroyal Bivd.

THE PROVINCIAL government may have had to ‘‘fudge’’ the results of the grade 12 examinations for the rest of the province but it sure didn’t have

North Vancouver students, on the whole, increased their marks through the provincial examination process over the marks awarded them by their teachers, bucking a province wide trend in the opposite direction.

Students receiving A’s by

their teachers, 99 of them, found their ranks swollen to 150 following the provincial exams. Another 46 of 121 of those who found themselves flunking by grades given out by teachers, now found themselves receiving a pass- ing mark due to the results of the provincial exam.

According to the press release sent out by the Ministry of Education, there was a ‘‘major difference bet- ween achievement standards

‘In reviewing the stan- dards set by the marking committees, the Provincial Board of Examiners recom- mended that the passing

**Overall, 10.4 per cent of students were assigned failing marks by their teachers, while 16.7 per cent failed to meet minimum passing marks set by the provincial committees. There appears as

That was not the case in North Vancouver. While the provincial percentage of B grades given out under the

the District’s students receiv- ed B grades in the exams, one per cent higher than: those given out by teachers.

The press release also States that the exam results were scaled, ‘‘taking into ac- count teacher expectations

District administrator Dr. Leo Marshal, although pleas- ed with the results, criticized the exam process.

‘*The type of exam used was a criterion referenced ex- am,’”’ Marshal said.

Marshal said that these kinds of exams were ‘‘fre- quently vague and interpeted differently teacher to teacher.”"4.. |

He said the achievement will vary depending on populatién and called the provincial government’s marking process ‘‘not tightly standardized.”’

**Criteria used for school marks and criteria for exams might well differ,’’ Marshall added.
