At the end of this month the

100000 in salaries during the

The division has pioneered
in the use of televesion and

and medical education and it
has equipment that is not du-
plicated anywhere else in the
world.
But in an attempt to make

Mr.. Olom reported that the

on proposed rules to govern

vision that should a candidate
seek but fail to win CBC's sup
