FAR FROM TUTELAGE, BUT NEVER OUT OF SIGHT
The first curiosity about the university environment and the newly arrived student is normal. Many important questions and problems receive answers these days, when the adaptation week for new students is being held in higher education institutions. They are given a concise introduction to the characteristics of the faculties, the institutes where they will attend classes, the way the teaching process, scientific, sports and cultural activities are organized, they learn the weekly program, the schedules, and are introduced to the group teachers, etc.
This seemingly simple and informational week plays a deeper and important role in student life. Being away for the first time from direct family care, facing the demands of a more independent life, the pace of university study and the responsibility for personal formation are trials that must be met with wisdom and patience.
In this sense, educational work with first-year students cannot be limited to just a few orientation days. It must continue throughout the academic year, with special attention from lecturers, youth organizations, dormitory leaders and the student collectives themselves.
Signs of neglect, formalism or unjustified tolerance toward violations of discipline have a bad effect on the student's formation. Meanwhile, a correct, warm but demanding attitude helps the young person adapt more quickly to university life.
The young student needs care, but not tutelage. He must learn to walk on his own, to decide on his own, to be responsible on his own, but never to feel sidelined or outside the attention of our society.

ORGANIZATION AND DIRECTION OF SCIENTIFIC WORK IN THEIR VIEW
[Investment in science - an investment in the future]
Besnik Shekeli, lecturer
In higher education institutions, and especially at university, scientific work must be an inseparable part of the teaching-educational process. Not only as an institutional duty, but as a necessity for the complete training of the future specialist.
The way this work is organized and directed has a direct impact on its results. Clear planning is required, a precise division of responsibilities, fruitful cooperation between chairs, laboratories and the production base, as well as an encouraging climate for independent research.
Shortcomings are often encountered that are linked to formalism, repetition of topics, and lack of connection with the concrete needs of the economy and technical-scientific development. These weaknesses must be overcome decisively.
The student must be involved early in research work, learn the scientific method, and practice the ability to observe, analyze, generalize and argue. Only in this way does he acquire lasting creative habits.
The experience of some faculties shows that where the direction of scientific work is systematic and demanding, the results are better. Therefore it is necessary to increase responsibility, strengthen forms of control and evaluate achievements realistically.

ON THE OCCASION OF THE 2400TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF BERAT, PATHS OF CIVILIZATION
ON THE OCCASION OF THE 2400TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF BERAT
PATHS OF CIVILIZATION
In the last months of the year, especially during summer and autumn, the city of Berat was filled with visitors, scholars and tourists who came to see up close the ancient city, the castle, the characteristic quarters and the many historical and cultural values it preserves.
The city, with deep roots in history, stands as testimony to the continuity of urban life in our regions. From antiquity to the present day, Berat has been an important center of civilization and of material and spiritual culture.
The numerous monuments, distinctive architecture, mural painting, icons, cult objects and museum collections speak of different layers of development and of a rich heritage that belongs not only to the city, but to the whole nation.
The 2400th anniversary of the founding of Berat is a good opportunity to deepen studies, expand restoration work and make this distinguished historical center better known.

SHORTAGES in the fruit and vegetable market in Tirana
- The rapid brigade of "the voice of the people" -
We approved the request of several buyers to verify the volume of fruit and vegetable trade at one of their sales points. On this occasion, on the morning of 19 September, together with the director of NTPF-3 of Tirana, comrade Fatmir Çollaku, we carried out a verification in fruit and vegetable shop no. 41.
Nothing unusual. By eye, the quantity of fruit and vegetables seemed to be in order, but on the scales... We take out several invoices for the vegetables and fruit brought there and begin the verification. After making the separations by type, it turns out that the following had been delivered to the shop since the morning: 748 kg of leeks, 57 kg of tomatoes, 64 kg of peppers, 9.3 onions, 30 kg of watermelons, 4 kv? of plums, 4 kv? of peaches, 6 kv? of pears, 4 kv? of apples, etc.
How is it possible that in the shop there are still crates of peaches, pears, apples, etc. unopened, and yet at 8:30 in the morning you cannot find a single peach, apple or pear on the counter, while upon a casual question one is told: "they're finished"? How is it possible that only 748 kg of leeks were delivered to the shop, while there are only 2-3 bunches on the counter?
We had never seen this kind of action by sales personnel before. During the verification it also appeared that there were suspicions of quantity discrepancies between the invoice and the stock in the warehouse and on the counter. For this, a more detailed check was carried out.
At the end of this verification it was noted that most of the goods had not yet been put on sale, while citizens were being told that they had run out. This situation causes dissatisfaction and arouses justified suspicion in the consumer.
