research the factors involved and produce a tentative program Mac Car Carpenter ¬ penter Regional College Board secretary treasurer said Mon Monday ¬ day He was responding to the re reported ¬ ported indignation of some City Council m ambers over an ad advertisement ¬ vertisement in a Vancouver paper Friday asking applica applications ¬ tions for the position of princi principal ¬ pal at New Caledonia College the natna proposed for the re regional ¬ gional institute Carpenter said it was stated before the June 12 67 plebiscite that approval would commit rate pa j ers to hiring of some re research ¬ search staff It is customary to hire a prin principal ¬ cipal to set up a program from which cost estimates can then be derived Mr Carpenter said At a Monday morning com committee ¬ mittee mseting city manager Arran Thomson produced a clip clipped ¬ ped ad saying This in oar op opinion ¬ inion is not authorized Alderman Ron Tweedie backed up his contention Editorials in the local press before last years plebiscite was held stated flatly that this was not the final go ahead At the root of the Issue Is a decision by the Regional College Board to circumnavigate the setting up of a college in a col college ¬ lege building and Instead estab establish ¬ lish a program temporarily in Senior Secondary School facili facilities ¬ ties The trouble with that Is that the college as things are present presently ¬ ly proposed will have been operating for at least a year bofore the public gets a chance to say whether they even want a regional college That public prerogative is tra traditionally ¬ ditionally exercised in a refer referendum ¬ endum on capital costs but since there will bo no building for at least the first and possi possibly ¬ bly the second ear of the col leges operation there can course be no referendum will abort the college career of the ratepayers sons and daugh daughters ¬ ters What kind of choice is that Union Ire Aimed at Oil Co Action Immediate
