long

of

Lately
there
has
been
a
great
uproar
about
the
level
of
pollution
in
the
Fraser
River.
There
is
a
source
of
pollution
that
is
not
caused
by
industries,
that
very
few
people
know
about
and
yet
is
creating
a
great
blight
on
our
recreational
resources.
People
that
move
out
of
town
to
get
away
from
it
all,
to
breath
fresh
clean
air
again,
are
in
their
own
way
a
cause
of
water
pollution.
I
live
on
Six-Mile
Lake,
a
well
known
local
spot
for
water
skiing,
swimming,
boating
and
just
generally
having
fun
in
the
sun
at
the
lake.
There
are
many
summer
cabins
and
quite
a
few
people
have
taken
up
permanent
residence
there.
Now
as
everyone
knows,
the
weeds
at
Six
Mile
Lake,
sometimes
known
as
Tabor
Lake,
seem
to
cover
more
area
of
the
lake
every
year.
The
muck
and
pollen
covering
the
lake
surface
at
the
end
of
the
summer
seems
to
get
thicker
and
thicker
every
year.
Why?
It
seems
that
the
lake
is
over-fertilized.
You
know
what
good
fertilizer
animal
wastes
are.
Well,
all
these
residents
of
summer
cabins
and
permanent
homes
run
their
septic
tanks
straight

Apparently
we're
not
the
only
regional
college
that's
been
hassled
by
not
having
any
kind
of
student
decision
in
determination
of
teaching
staff.
A
phone
call
from
John
Nesteroff
at
Selkirk
College,
Castlegar,
related
a
comparable
horror
story.
Mr.
Sindhavari,
an
Economics
teacher,
was
asked
to
resign
just
last
week
on
the
basis
of
a
report
prepared
by
two
girl
students
about
his
extracurricular
life.
On
this
basis,
Sindhavari
was
asked
to
resign
or
be
fired
for
carrying
on
"inappropriate
student-faculty
relations".
Whenhe
asked
for
a
week
to
prepare
a
statement,
he
was
given
twenty-four
hours.
Nesteroff
says
that
if
Sindhauvari
had
resisted
and
not
resigned
the
document
would
be
available
for
use
against
him
at
any
time.
It
has
now
presumably
been
destroyed,
or
will
be
soon.
One
of
the
girls
who
helped
comprise
the
document
(apparently
consisiting
also
of
tapes
of
the
man's
parties
I)
has
now
been
exempted
from
final
exams
as
psychologically
unfit
to
cope
with
them.
Far
out!
All
this
is
more
proof
that
teachers
who
deviate
in
any
way
from
the
"norm"
in
B.C.
regional
colleges
are
now
under
attack.
The
problem
is
structural
and
not
personal.
Students
and
teachers
have
to
fight
to
be
placed
in
the
power
making
structure,
or
be
content
with
consistently
unethical
treatment.

ground
and
the
ground
(being
mainly
clay)
runs
the
waste
straight
into
the
lake.
The
weeds,
the
algae,
and
the
squaw-fish
that
bottom
feed
on
the
weeds
all
flourish.
The
excess
of
squaw-fish
also
have
an
effect
on
the
amount
and
size
of
the
trout
in
the
lake.
Microorganisms
and
parasites
that
infest
the
fish
in
these
polluted
conditions
and
as
a
result
the
trout
are
of
very
poor
quality.
I
am
sure
that
Six
Mile
Lake
is
not
the
only
lake
in
the
area
in
this
condition.
The
government
has
stopped
any
more
home
construction
on
the
lake
unless
a
self-contained
sewer
system
is
installed
but
the
pollution
has
already
happened
and
the
existing
septic
tanks
are
still
dumping
Into
the
lake.
It
seems
that
Man,
wherever
he
goes,
even
to
escape
pollution
only
caused
it
in
a
new
way.
These
lakes
near
the
city
are
a
great
relief
to
the
people
in
the
hot
summer
weather,
but
who
can
swim
in
weeds.
There
is
no
real
way
to
run
from
pollution
Man
must
turn
and
fight
it
wherever
it
occurs.

WHAT
ABOUT
US?
Dear
Mr.
Franke:
Enclosed
is
a
copy
of
a
letter
which
was
printed
in
the
recent
issue
of
QUUN,
the
College
newspaper.
I
see
no
reason
why
this
kind
of
writing
should
be
permitted
or
condoned
in
the
student
newspaper
of
our
Regional
College.
Yours
truly,
D.P.
Todd
District
Superintendent
of
Schools.
Dear
Mr.
Todd:
In
answer
to
your
letter
of
March
19th,
I
should
like
to
give
you
a
few
basic
thoughts
which,
to
me,
areessential
in
the
discussion.
(1)
"QUUN"
is
not
"the
College
paper"
as
you
label
it
in
your
first
sentence.
(2)
Any
citizen
has
the
right
to
disagree
with
tone
or
contents
of
any
newspaper,
(3)
You
signed
your
letter
"Superintendent
of
Schools."
Am
I
to
assume
that
you
are
making
a
complaint
in
that
capacity?
If
so,
I
fail
to
see
with
what
justification
you
do
that.
(4)
Whether
you
wrote
the
letter
as
a
private
citizen
or
as
a
school
official,
you
have
addressed
it
to
the
wrong
person.
The
paper
"is
edited,
owned
and
paid
for
by
the
students
of
this
College.
We
have
adopted
the
view
that
our
students
are
adults
and
carry
the
full
responsibility
for
their
actions.
The
limitations
are
set
by
the
same
standards
that
are
valid
for
other
citizens,
like
e.g.,
you
and
me.
(5)
You
are,
as
I
said,
entitled
to
your
views.
But
please,
send
your
criticism
to
the
editors
of
that
paper,
as
you
would
if
that
article
had
appeared
in
any
other
newspaper.
(6)
The
administration
of
this
College
does
not
like
the
form
of
the
article
in
question
either.
Appropriate
action
has
been
taken.
(7)
The
last
thing
we
need
in
the
College
is
a
watch-dog
from
the
public
school
system.
Yours
very
truly,
W.E.
Franke
Dear
Mr.
Todd:
We
have
received
your
brief
epistle,
via
Mr.
Franke,
concerning
a
recent
article
in
the
student
newspaper,
tne
QUUN.
We
would
like
to
point
out
that
Mr.
Franke
does
not
exercise
editorial
control
over
the
Quun,
and
that,
accordingly,
you
have
addressed
your
complaint
to
the
wrong
place.
Students
use
the
Quun
to
express
their
opinions
about
events
that
concern
them.
We
have
a
democratic
structure.
We
would
also
like
to
state
that
we
agree
with
Mr.
Franke's
response
to
your
letter,
except
for
disagreement
about
whether
or
not
the
article
was,
in
fact,
inappropriate.
Yours
truly,
Quun
Editorial
Board.
