      Prof. Ted Mann, right, poses with his night class at Atkinson College, York University. These adult students, who are studying the sociology of social change, are not only studying the theory but becoming involved in social change themselves. Their class project this winter is to go out into the community and try to persuade people who never thought they could attend university that they possibly could. Teaching assistant Al Listiak is seated next to Prof. Mann in picture.
