Approach To Apprenitceship Changing in the Face of Funding Cutbacks Apprenticeship training in B.C. is facing some challenges and changes, spurred on by cutbacks in federal funding, but Harv McCullough, director of Trades and Technology,at the University College of the Fraser Valley, is optimistic that any new model that emerges will make for stronger regional training programs.

McCullough and his colleagues recently hosted a regional forum on apprenticeship training at the request of the Ministry of Skills, Training, and Labour's apprenticeship branch. Over 140 people, representing 17,200 employees, gathered to discuss training models, rationalization of program delivery, and efforts to revitalize apprenticeship training.

Apprenticeship is a traditional form of training which combines extended periods of on-the-job pratical experiences with periods of theoretical/technical dassroom training. There are currently over 14,000 apprentices in B.C. registered in over 150 active trades and occupations. UCFV offers apprentice training in carpentry and auto technician.

Currently, employers pay about 80 percent of the costs of training an apprentice, with governments picking up the remaining 20 percent.

For the past 30 years, the federal government has transferred funds to the province to support apprentice training. This funding, which currently covers about half the cost of the classroom training, will be eliminated in April of this year. The province is looking for alternative and innovative approaches for delivering this training in order to stretch funding dollars.

"The major challenge stems from the severe funding reduction. However, the other side of the story is the many new apprenticable trades being approved,' noted McCullough. "These people will need technical training. The challenge is figuring out how to train people with less money. That will mean things like making sure classes are full so that resources are used more efficiently."

The federal government is also planning to eliminate the two-week training allowances which apprentices recieve while waiting for unemployment insurance to take effect, and is considering eliminating income support entirely, requiring apprentices to take out student loans or participate in a voucher system.

"Apprenticeship is going to take a lot more commitment on the part of the student now," McCullough says. "And I think the commitment will be there, because

in many trades, they will have no choice but to complete an apprenticeship. It just recently became mandatory for auto technician, autobody repair, autobody refinishing, and electrical trades. And it's industry, not so much government, that's pushing for this."

Traditionally, apprentices attend technical training in a "block release" of four to ten weeks per year.

Planning forum participants considered alternatives to block release, night school, distance education, and decentralized delivery of technical training.

"A switch from centralized to regionally based training could open the door to offering more apprenticeship courses in the Valley," noted McCullough.

"Our Trades and Technology department is a leader in alternative apprenticeship delivery methods. Right now we're trying a pilot project with carpenters. everyone enters at the same time, but they're ,allowed to accelerate through the program. The maximum time to finish is six weeks, but some people finish in two."

The provincial government is compiling ideas gathered from its regional forums and will be using the information to plan for the new reality of increased demand for apprenticeship training in a time of shrinking funding.

Expert Help Available For Local Technological Needs Small and medium-sized businesses have a valuable new contact at the University College of the Fraser Valley.

He's Jim Starkey, the local industrial technology advisor for the National Research Council's Industrial Research Assistance Program (lRAP).

IRAP's mandate is to plug Canadian businesses into the extensive network of scientific and technological expertise housed in government laboratories, specialized research centres, universities, and consulting engineering firms.

The frontline ambassadors for lRAP are the industrial technology advisors (ITAs), based in over 60 Canadian communities. ITAs are skilled professionals

New Programs

who provide advice to local firms and act as brokers for Canada's "bank" of technological expertise. They help firms to define thier technical needs, identify opportunities, obtain information and assistance, and solve product or production problems. lRAP will also provide funding support for approved projects (usually 50% of the project value).

Starkey is one of the newest ITAs. He started working in Abbotsford last fall from his base at the University College of the Fraser Valley. He has already helped several local businesses with their technological needs.

One client is Economy Oil of Abbotsford, which collect used hydrolic oils

Focuses

on Getting Small Business

Exporting is no longer the exclusive domain of large corporations and multinationals.

"Small and medium-sized companies can find very profitably niches in the market," says Christine Pollock, a sales and marketing manager who has successfully developed export and import markets over the past ten years. "In fact, smaller companies are often in a better position to handle low volume and specialized production runs."

Pollock will facilitate a new program called Export Start-up at the University College of the Fraser Valley beginning March 19. The program will consist of 6 sessions on Tuesday evenings from 7:30-(:30 p.m. at the Abbotsford campus.

"Both federal and provincial governments strongly support new exporters,' says Pollock. "there's abundant funding available for small business owners, home-based

"The course will outline the necessary steps to take when entering an export market, help participants build a personal export business plan, and provide a resource list of government and industry agencies directly involved in export programs.

"The world is your customer when you're an exporter," says Pollock. "Exporting reduces your dependence on domestic markets and keeps profits growing. And you're always up on the latest international trends."

Registrationfor Export start-up is being accepted now at all UCFV centres. The fee for the program is $85 and there is an optional one-hour on-site consultation available for an additional $50 fee.

Toxic-Waste-Devouring Microbes to be Discussed at UCFV. Are microbes our friends? Can these tiny organisms help to clean up toxic wastes spills caused by humans?

Dr. Margo Moore of the Simon Fraser University biology department gave a presentation entitled Microbes and Toxic Waste at the University College of the Fraser valley's Abbotsford campus lecture theatre on Wednesday, Feb. 21, at 2:30 p.m. Admission was free and the public was welcomed.

The lecture was presented by the UCFV chemistry department.

"One of the unique aspects of micro-organisms is their ability to derive energy from a wide variety of compounds," said Moore. "Theses include naturally occuring polymers such as cellulose, chitin, and lignin, as well as aromatics and saturated hydrocarbons. Consequently, many microorganisms can also degrade pollutants which possess similar chemical structures. This led scientists to attempt to accelerate the natural rate of polluntant degradation by a process known as 'bioremeditation'."

Moore's talk discussed the range of compounds degraded by micro-organisms, basic mechanisms of toxicant breakdown and the use of genetic engineering to 'tailor' the biochemistry of bacteria to degrade recalcitrant compounds. A brief discussion of the bioremeditation of the Exxon Valdez oil spill was presented to highlight the potential for success as well as the problems inherent in these technologies.

Another visiting scientist spoke at

UCFV' s Abbotsford campus on Feb. 28 at 1p.m. in the lecture theatre. Dr. Bunny Clark is a physics profesor from Ohio State University. She discussed the situation of women in physics and science.

Clark is aresearch award winner and a major contributor to the development of courses and degrees in physics. She also finds time to play a very active role in the women-in-science movement in the U.S. Her talk was of particular interest to women and girls studying science or working in a scientific field.

Men basketball Team doesn't make it to BC playoff, Women ·soldier on.

The Cascades have split for the season. As the men lost their last two games of the season, they have been eliminated from playoffs for this year. I-willinclude a full best of the boys in next issue. I extend my personal apology to the Men's team for missing their last two games as I had substained a temporary handicap that kept me at home on Advil watching the paint peel off the wall. Sorry guys, you still got skillz.

The Women's team is in preparation for the BCAA playoff and will have competition from a few teams including Douglas. Watch for those handy dandy signs out front of the Great Hall for exact times. Come out and support the girls.

They win a lot and nobody shows up but their families, boyfriends and me. For god's sakes they can play serious ball! See centre spread for more details on the provincials.

Sorry the column's short but I haven't seen my players on the court for awhile.

Peace-out Cascades.

By: Douglas Bull For those of you that have had the chance or need to visit it, the new 'First Heritage' computer lab is quite a sight. Rows of computers for the general use of students, faculty and the public have been set up, and one would be hard pressed to find it less than half full on even it's slowest day.

Internet access is readily available, all that is needed to e-mail is an account. Forthose who wish just to 'surf the net,' Netscape (trn) can offer a fun and relatively easy way to do so. This is all fine and well, but there is only one problem (actually I have a few problems with the lab, and some procedural complaints too!) If you wish to use the computers in the lab, you . better be comfortable with using a PC. Since it has been open, there have always been the AST(s) units available for the use of word-processing, internet/e-mail access and programming applications. In fact, recently you may have noticed a few trucks parked out front of the library unloading box upon box of computer equipmen(for the lab.

I have no problem with this, seeing as how before these units (AST) arrived one would be hard-pressed to find a free terminal to use. It is now possible to walk in and be able to sit down at one with almost no wait for one to become available.

What I do have a (BIG) problem with is the option of sitting down and using a Macintosh .. At last count, less than I/3 of computers in that lab are Macintosh, and for those of use whose courses need or suggest the use of a Macintosh computer, we are left to struggle with the limited amount of them to use. More on how far outdated the ones we can use are in a bit.

Abbotsford

What's that you say? Why am I sitting here whining about not having any good Macs to do my work on? Haven't I noticed the shiny, new Macs (6100's ... with CD-ROM) that were put into the lab along with new AST' s? Well, go sit down at one after reading this article and try to do ANYTHING except play 'Eric's Solitaire'.

You can't! Why not? There are no applications on the systems. No word-processing, no graphic applications ... nothing. Oh, excuse me .. there is an 'Adobe' application in the system, but I would have to assume that came already installed, or on the installation disc that came with the units. But this makes no sense to me ... the AST(s) were up and running ( and internet ready ) the same day they were installed .. the Macs sit and wait.

Is it possible that the software for the Macs is on it's way, but the order for it is on back-order?

Dunno ...whenever I tried- to speak with anyone, but particularly Terry Cox' office, there was no-one available to answer any questions. Obviously some people would have nothing to do with this problem, and I am not trying to malign anyone here, but I meet with a less than helpful reception whenever I approach this subject to one particular office.

Aside from this frustration, I have also been made aware of the disn:iay of some of the school's faculty in regards to the support and funding being received and used towards Macintoshes.

Graphics Arts has a superb Mac lab, and given that this career is in an industry that is dominated by Macintosh, it is easy to see why they !lave the equipment they do, but it is for the use of the program's students ... so where does that leave me?

It leaves me in the MACS (MediaandCommunications) . lab, which shares it's space with the Library-tech program.

Stopyerbitchin', right... you

Karate Club

KAR'1TE

got a lab, so stop moaning! Ha! Have you seen the Macs in that lab? I'm waiting for the school to sell them off ...

I want one to turn into a fish tank!

We may be a small program, but we are working to have our voice heard in the school... and the fact that we are running computers that are about the same size as the monitors of the AST' s in the new lab, just makes the situation that much more deplorable.

'First Heritage', I understand, has submitted some funding towards the new lab. Thank you, I'm sure it was much needed. But did those dollars also dictate what kind of computers must be installed? Quite possibly, but then again I never had a chance to ask anyone who may know if this is what happened.

I sincerely hope that someone who can provide some information in this matter will write into the paper, and voice their indignation at my apparent lack of knowledge in regards to these manners. I don't care if you like what I have said ... I just want some kinda information.

Tell me it's none of my business ' and I'll show you my registration form, and ask how much of our student fees were used in purchasing hardware for the school. It is for the school right...? It's not just another right off for some large business that will pay even less tax this year, while students struggle to put Kraft dinner in their stomachs, right?

I'm a student, I use Macs ... it is not fair to spend a large portion offunding on one type of computer when there are ill-funded, and mu~h needing areas of computer hardware in different disciplines.

W AAAAH ! I want to use a decent Mac at school!

WAHHHH! Software would be nice! WAAAAAH! PS - I own a Mac ... a nice one ... worked my ass off over the summer to get it! But some people who need to use one, don't have one comparable to the quality of the AST(s) They are the ones who need/ deserve a break! Get them some software ... and maybe even an apology for taking sooo bloody long!!!!

'Qt:be~ascabe Week 9, 1996 ~5 his grave in utter fear that people will one day dig him upto substantiate their dissertation that Marx was indeed a spoon man.

My Lazy Marxist compatriot and I have a good idea about who Karl Marx really was: Santa Claus. Think about it.

The Beard. He wears red-like the Communist Party (and we all know the C.P. is pure Marxism). Santa carries a bag of gifts for all children, no matter what their economic status. Marx was fat. So is Santa. The Elves are the workers of the world as they produce the toys for everyone. And Rudolph-he is most obviously Lenin leading the work of Marx to the world even if he can't seee that he is flying toward ruin.

Marx did die but his heritage goes on and is now apparant in Sascha Claus.

Sascha always has gifts for us and he's related to everyone (even the Highlander's concubine in Highlander 3). Sascha does have to bulk up a bit but that comes with time. He has the spirit, now it remains for the flesh to get in gear.

I have sketchy proof that Marx was also very much into Nike. But that is a whole other thing.

Issue 2: Why it is dangerous to take one idea and run with it.

It seems to me, more and more, that

~ ~

people take one theory that seems pretty good to them at the time and they run with it. This doesn't appeal to me. I will explain why.

By accepting one theory on the ways things work you close yourself off from the possible insight that another thesis may have. What can become even more dangerous, and I am extremly guilty of this, is the desire to be a cheerleader. An unblinking acceptance of an idea is tacit support to whatever it will later entail.

We tacitly support our government. A simple vote is not politcal activeness. But by placing a vote, a large majority of people believe they have participated in the democratic dream.

Ask any person from a former Soviet Bloc country how they enjoyed their participation in the democratic process ....

The dialogue, or the fundamentals of it, that is essentially to agree to disagree, is in my opinion adecent premise to start with. But it is simply a start. To agree to disagree doesn't simply mean a slide into the subjective _world where what I believe is ok and what you believe is ok and we're all just products of our environment. I won't allude to those stupid, radical images that our usually raised in this argument. Rather, I will say

that the idea that everything is subjective could be perverted into very bizarre and individual accounts of the world. If we all lived in seperate worlds (the Internet) we could get away with things but eventually you '11probably have to come back to the real world.

It would be a curious site to see a bunch of people sitting around(aka the Internet Lab), drooling, off in their own worlds simply because they can, and yet it would also be a freaky place. I don't mean to attack the Net Junkies because they do partake in a certain form of dialogue but I would also say that they have a certain responsibility to themselves to participate in the immediate world around them, not some fictituous world where anything they want to happen can in fact happen.

The ultimate truth, or the ultimate. truths are elusive and cannot be discovered by one person in my opinion. I believe very much in Hegel's notion that to define ourselves we must use dialogue with others~ Now, there is also room for introspection in any event. I can enjoy a quiet evening of writing in my journal and I have spent many a day in the hot sun treeplanting, off in my own world thinking about my friends and what they mean to

me but atthe end of the day I go home with others or I close my journal and I talk with my roomate.

What I am trying to write is that just because you have grasped a certain notion clearly doesn't mean it is the ultimate truth. It may be, but if it is given a fair chance of dialogue with another and no general consensus agreement is reached besides "Well, if that works for you then more power to you" then you have made no discovery of anything in the realm of humankind. We must be willing to constantly challenge our beliefs because only then are they truly put to the test.

So the next time someone says "Well that's a good point but..." I challenge you to ask that person if they believe what you are saying or they simply think that its ok for everybody to have their own personal belief. You know what? In the end, we all live on the same globe and what I do affects you somehow. There are what George Grant called "limits" to the individual freedoms of our society. You should question. And that is more than just my opinion. That is something I challenge you to chew on and talk about with your friends.

·{]rdoo lJs, \(c arc jlJst goiog Cascades style their way through }Vl.alaspina }Vl.ariners in playoff opener For those of you that didn't see the three million ads for BC playoffs this past weekend, I'll tell you something. They are over now but they began on Friday and our team, the UCFV Women's Cascades played like the returning champs that they are.

It has been a relatively easy season for the girls and I think the real challenge for them is to keep themselves playing at the level they are capable ofin the face of usually weak competition. But this was playoffs, no team that had made it their was ready to just roll over to the oncoming UCFV storm and it was going to take a good show of skillz to i

quiet the competition. alispina Mariner's lost to so what did the Cascades CFV Cascade's, the Mariners do? They won! What else laced thid in the Provincial did you think they would mals over the weekend. do if you have followed the team's progress over the season? Brandee Fort played with pure leadership in the backcourt as she controlled the ball on many drives up the court and scored 17 points. Erin Brooks cruised around the court and was the pure passer of the

evening. Erin finished with UCFV played steady throughout the game and was ahead by an average 5-6 points. Although there was some serious talent on the Malaspina team the Cascades were not in any mood for losing. With strong rebounding by UCFV on the part of Martha Craig and Denise Rehman. Martha chalked up 12 while Denise ~ailed 18 to the wall. Denise was also named player of the game.

Shandia Cordingly scored a nice three pointer at the halftime buzzer and I got to say that this player has the real no conscience attitude that makes shooting guards valuable. Cordingly's hit was the best way to sum up the game. Any efforts made by Malaspina were met by something even better and it was evident that the Cascades were steppin up in the face of competition. Final Score of the game was 71-52. On to the final.. .....

"Awesome! I'm so proud of the whole team. We won it with heart and muscle."-Carol Vinson On Saturday March 2, 1996 the UCFV Women took the BC provincial title in an awesome game versus Douglas College. This was by far the biggest game I have ever seen Cascades play and I can only say "GAWDDAMN!" The game was close the whole way until about the 1:00 mark in the second half, with the tough UCFV defense finally breaking down Douglas's offense.

At the half, Douglas was ahead by one point with'UCFV looking a little shaken. But have no fear, when the Cascades returned it was on. Douglas College was no pushover as they rallied fiercely to the end but it was the legendary Cascades that fought with more determination to take the title.

Coach Sandy Chambers, when asked about strategy at the half said "We discuissed what we needed to do, about how bad we wanted this win.

We knew we were number one all season but now it was time to prove it."

The player of the game, in my mind and whomever decides for the league, was Martha Craig. Martha hustled in the paint with fakes, head bobs and just pure post power. Martha scored 17 points and was named to the AllStar Team. Also named to the_All-Star game was Brandee Fort and Denise Rehman. Denise Rehman scored 15 points working alongside Martha.

Shandia Cordingly sunk enough to score 11 points including two cool3pointers that were crucial tempo changers. Nice Shooting Shandia!

"I'm happy. I got to say, everyone played awesome." -Martha Craig.

In the backcourt Brandee Fort and Carol Vinson were doing it in their own special ways. Carol was incredible on defense with fearless dives for balls and undaunting heads-up coverage. Brandee Fort took heads-up to the limit with her floor general coolness on offense. Both Vets were nothing but STYLE in the way they played.

Although the other Cascades saw more l~mited floor time they were behind their team and contributed any way possi~e. Whether it was Erin .Brooks blazing around the backcourt or Nicole ~ubert shooting up a cool two. Amber-Mytting played well in the paint and giUian,Kii1c even came out for awhile after not playing in the Malaspina game. A con~tualtions should be given to each and every Cascade for their contribution including and not

forgetting the crutch ridden Erin Burgess.

Final Score 59-5 l. As the girls were given their medals and the net was cut down, I wandered around the crowd basking in the happiness of the team. The Cascades have a clear understanding of the team concept and their is not one weak link in the whole team After Coach Chambers and Assistant Coach Allan Tuscherer were soaked I have to say this was a good night and I hope to see these guys play at Nationals.

Oh Yeah, the Cascades aren't finished playing yet.they are on their way to MONTREAL! Way to go Cascades, you guys are all that and then some.

OK here is the scoop, last issue I entered a pretty stupid Editorial, it basically made no sense whatsoever, I was pressed for time and I wacked that piece of garbage out in a matter of minutes, guess what, nothing has changed. I am still pressed for time and currently am babbling away, pretty dumb eh? Nothing really to bitch about, someone has brought up the the point that the fine arts hallway should be published in a smutt magazine, but hey that is old news, and a damn stupid opinion if you ask me.

Oh has anyone seen the Abbotsford killer? I noticed that pepper spray sales are down at the local 7-11, or did we all forget that there are disturbed people out there hunting down our beatifull youth? Not trying to instill fear into anyone but hey, the asshle has not been caught yet and someone out there knows something, SO SPEAK UP!

Yes, I was at the February 7th "Day Of Action" march to protest federal cutbacks to post-secondary education. Yes, I was seen on UTV, The Vancouver Sun, and also The Abbotsford Times due to the silly dunce-cap that I constructed as an image of our future if these cutbacks stay a reality.-And yes, I am now the subject of humorous harassment by everyone who knows me due to Paul Becker calling me "Sascha Claus" in his "Brave New World" article ... that damned Lazy Marxist.

Yet Peter Hutchinson is right when he asks, "What do we do now?" Sure we all felt like maybe we were making a huge statement and some kind of threatening impact on our government when we marched in Vancouver, but really, was it enough? The protesters chanted, 'They say cutbacks! We say tight back!" which was really quite glorious until you look up and_see the business people in their offices above, yawning at you through their television windows. To them we were just a short commercial in the long t.v. show of life. They look on down at us and don't really give a damn about the cutbacks, because they already have

their educations, and they can feel confident thinking that we really aren't going to tight back either.

It wasn't until Paul and I started chanting, 'They say cutbacks?!! We say KILL THEM!!" that I actually started to notice a few of the on-lookers looking shocked.

We screamed it at a cameraman as he took our picture, and his lower lip started to quiver like a snail that had just learned the meaning of escargot.-And shocked they should be. This wasn't a march tor the legalisation of marijuana, of because a nice, pretty tree in a nice, pretty park was being cut down. This was a march against our governments obvious and blatant ignorance tor outright refusal to educate it's youth unless they come from a wealthy family.

Yet the rest of the crowd didn't pick up on the ravings of Paul and myself, but I'm quite confident that if the five or six thousand of them had we wouldn't have had such weak media coverage. Get mad.

Be serious and people will take you seriously. If the media packages us like six minutes of silly entertainment, all is lost.

So what are we going to do about it?

To What Exactly is it That Students are Indifferent?

Dear Ed: From time to time. I see the word "apathy" mentioned in these pages. The implication seems to be that this is a character flaw found in a significant number of U.C.F.V students. I feel compelled to respond to the opinion offered by Douglas Bull in the January 19, 1996 issue.

My dictionary defines apathy as: 1. lack of emotion 2. lack of interest; unconcern; indifference. So there seems to be plenty of emotion expressed in the paper and elsewhere by students, I must assume Mr. Bull meant "lack of interest" or "indifference." To what exactly is it that students are indifferent?

According to Mr. Bull, there is a lack of interest in the functions planned for entertainment and social interaction. I guess I missed the point of being a U.C.F.V student. Here I am, concentrating on my studies and keeping up my G.P.A. (which Mr. Bull lists as one of his goals for the new year.) When it comes to entertainment and social events, I'm afraid I have to admit to being apathetic. These events fall somewhat below studying, working to support a family, and planning my own entertainment and social events with that family.

Since U.C.F.V. is an institution that is readily accessible to people with family responsibilities, it runs the risk of attracting "apathetic" students like myself. It is most reassuring to know that it also has students like Mr. Bull, who make that sacrifice of time to attend social functions, and thereby fight the spectre of apathy.

''Signs,Signs EverywhereSignsBlockingup the Scenery,Breakingmy Mind ..''

Dear Editor: I was disappointed to read in the Abbotsford Times that a recent proposal for Abbotsford's first sandwich board has been approved. Abbotsford's Burger King appealed to Abbotsford City Council to erect a full size ~illboard in the city and council . approved, six to five. Billboards, though widely accepted (and blithely. ignored) in Vancouver's downtown core will undoubtedly become a mainstay in this ever growing city.

Billboards are permanent junkmail. Corporate propaganda you can turn your eye away from, but, cannot throw away. I personally do not wish to be surrounded by capitalist greed each time I decide to take a walk downtown. Why must urban life be synonymous with a retail landscape? Private corporations do not haye to stamp their mark on every piece of city land, do they? the action of Council in this matter parallels Washington state's absurd decision to allow private advertising on the sides of public school buses.

I'm sure many who read the small blurb last week didn't give much thought to the significance of this matter. Some citizens don't realize that private institutions are trespassing on our environment - our reality. Must our local life solely revolve around consumerism?

It seems most citizens I accept private advertising as an automatic reality of our urban landscape and don't give it a second thought. I urge the public to take charge of their public scenery and demand it not be dominated by

the "consumption is all that exists" doctrine.

Cities permeated with huge billboards like the one proposed by Burger King do nothing to foster a sense of community. They leave the landscape sterile and empty. Take a look at where billboards are located. More often than not, they are in the poorer, disorganiz~d areas of town and often the most dangerous. In fact, Mark Crispen Miller, author of Boxed In, points out, "her is nothing but the ads to look up to and where inside, there is only t.v., all other, non-commercial influences have been disappeared ..." Consequently there is "a very close relationship, between mass advertising and graffiti, which usually appear together." Little wonder that people vandalize. Graffiti is a vain attempt by people striving to take back a little space for their own.

Do we want to be a city that is concerned with community and aware of the consciousness of other people?

Or do we only care about the big almighty dollar?

More and more people are realizing how the environment we occupy reflects ourselves as a society. Our local envi-

Think About What You See

Dear Ed.: I usually don't indulge myself in this sort of soap-boxing, but sometimes its necessary, so here it goes. For the last year or so I have heard and seen a lot of complaining, whispering,. closed. door conferencing and clandestine letter writing over the apparent "filth" that is littering our "sacred" halls (actually its three walls buried deep in a small corner of the art department, but apparently not deep enough ...) Now call me crazy, but I consider myself to be a reasonable intelligent woman - perhaps more liberal than some others of our population-but certainly possessed in its totality, its not just text books and term papers, its cafeteria debates, and a general attempt to share and communicate information both verbally and visually. The art department has contributed a great deal to this overall experience, and for that I thank them. Perhaps if the few people , and I do believe they are the minority (although certainly not a silent one,) who are so quick to criticize this department and its work actually took the time to think about what they were seeing, and paused to rethink what they felt, they might learn something about themselves ... but then who would write all those letters...

Perhaps it is appropriate that the ATM machine has become a sort of border crossing, rigidly demarcating the boundaries of the "status quo" at UCFV. Before I step down from my box I would like to urge everyone who has not been to the art department to do so, and to those of you who have, and liked the energy and creativity you felt when you were there, go back again .... Only this time imagine a school without art and the freedom and energy it takes to produce it.

Lori MacIntosh

ronment also affects and directs our inner life - our mental well-being. The landscape we live in and face each day does have an impact on how we live and how we regard our living space and the people who share it with us. Public spaces should not be sold out to the highest bidder but rather be utilized to the benefit of the community, the arts, recreation, our youth, etc. Private corporations such as Burger King automatically assume an inherent right to our public space-a right they wrongfully claim. It's up to the citizens of Abbotsford to remind them of their error.

On March 6, 1996 in the UCFV Abbotsford Campus Theatre From 7:00pm till 10:00pm

And Your Nominees Are ...

With the up coming_elections of students to the Committee of the Whole and the University College Council, here's a little something about each of the candidates.

Candidates for the position representing students from the eastern region·on the University College Board.

Eligible voters are students who take most of their courses in the eastern region (Agassiz, Chilliwack, Hope).

Paul Becker It is my intent to bring my skills as an individual to the Board of Governors in an effort to affect you, the UCFV student body. Until you and I have a strong voice in important decision-making at UCFV, we are going to be powerless. By acting as a liaison between the students and the board, I promise to bring our issues to light, in order for real change to occur. In a time when it is becoming increasingly difficult to be a student I want to be one who can help all of you in some way.

Lori Nelson Power and glory are the words used to promote the available student positions for the University College Council and the UCFV Board of Governors.

Although it is hard to argue against the status that comes from being a member of the.se councils, I feel there is a larger issue at hand; that being the student's right to be informed, and ultimately their right to help shape the policies at UCFV which affect academic life. The bureaucracy which guides the UCFV is complex and often complicated, and this in itself scares off many students who want to be a part of it or those who want to change it. As a student representative on the University College Council and as an observer to the board on behalf of the student union this year, I have taken the time and effort to understand many of the issues that UCFV is currently faced with and have offered many solutions for the future. As your student voice on the Board of Governors for the next year, I hope to continue along the path myself and other student reps have treaded upon. Remember, students can exercise considerable influence over decisions made about their life at UCFV, they just need to find a way to express themselves. I am your voice!

Tad Nicol The duty of a member of the board of directors at the UCFV is to make decisions which are in the best interests of the institution. I firmly believe that best interests of the UCFV are what is best for the students. This past year as a student board member for the eastern region has been a learning experience. I have learned a great deal about UCFV, the Board, administration, as well as the shape of post-secondary education in British Columbia. Over this next year UCFV will have to deal with the proposed government cutbacks, whatever they may be. I believe we must make_decisions which will best serve our community and our students. Affordable, top-quality vocatiol_!_al and academic education is what the students want, and we must deliver.

Candidates for the position representing students from the western region on the University College Board.

Eligible voters are students who take most of their courses in th~ western region (Abbotsford, Mission).

Jason Proulx The reason I would like to represent the student body is that I feel that the student body needs a strong representative to speak for students during the budget cuts. I will do my best to prevent thi_sboard from passing any unfair tuition increases. It will be my mission to keep students informed about board decisions that directly and indirectly affect students' access to post-secondary education. I will bring to the attention of the board any concerns that the students may have. I will do my best to find out what the student body feels needs to be changed to make UCFV a better university. An example of what I would do is to have courses listed one year ahead so that students can plan ahead for their courses.

Terry-Lynn Stone During my past year on the University College Board at UCFV, I have come to understand the role of the board and my role within it. I have always taken a non-confrontational approach towards problems, although, it is often necessary to take a strong stand, and there is not always agreement. I have enjoyed being the western region student representative on the board and I have always represented the student perspective with enthusiasm and vigour.

I have served on several committees in the past year including the Student Complaints Against Faculty committee and the Financial Aid Internal Review committee. I have represented the students of UCFV at many functions, speaking as a student representative at several events. In the coming year, UCFV, like all post-secondary educational institutions, is facing enormous economic pressures and it is important for students to11ave strong representation at this time. I believe that I am well-placed to serve the students of UCFV and I pledge that I will continue to strongly represent a student perspective if I ·am re-elected and, therefore, ask for your vote in support of my endeavour.

Candidates for the position representing students from the western region on the University College Council Eligible voters are students who take most of their courses in the western region (Abbotsford, Mission).

Cori Kleisinger

·

I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself; my name is Cori Kleisinger, and I've had the privilege of being nominated for a position on the University College Council here at UCFV. This is the body at the university who analysed and made recommendations to the UCFV Board in the area of educational policy and programs. As such any recommendations or conclusions this council makes directly influences students now, and students in the future. With cutbacks to the education systems the university is going to be faced with a number of program and policy decisions and I feel that students must be heard in the decision-making processes.

If elected to this position I would bring a candid, assertive voice whose primary focus is to make sure the interests of the students are protected. I have spent the last two semesters involved with student government in an administrative position so I also have front-line experience in and knowledge of the "workings" of the university at all levels. I feel that this position is one of great importance, and so, if elected I will take on the responsibility of representing students and their interests in a fair but firm manner.

Thanks for your time!

Taryn Thomson I would like to have my name stand for the position of western representative of the student union in the up coming student elections. During the last six months, I feel that I have gained an understanding of the way that UCC operates, and feel that only now, with this experience, is my input beneficial. I therefore feel ~ responsibility to put this experienc~ to use, and let my name stand for another term on UCC.

VOTE: March 11 to 14 at any Admissions and Records office.
