I doubt very much this will happen.  We're one of the few universities
offering a Bcs.  Where would it go?  From what I've seen and heard, 
Dal's Bcs with CS honours (or whatever they call it) ain't that great...
(ooops, this is going to dal.general, aint' it? :-) )

The main problem with the JSCS is that it lacks hardware big-time.
Maybe that problem would be solved with the new amalgamated 
system.

And, not to knock the other departments here, but I think CS
school is among the most respected diciplines at Acadia.  My ex-boss
at BIO once told me he hires Acadia co-op students first as a general
rule.
