Future
plans
open
book
by
PHYL
PARKER
The
multi-year
educational
plan
has
been
prepared
by
the
administration
of
the
college
and
serves
as
a
guideline
for
the
future
of
C.N.C.
This
plan
should
be
of
vital
concern
to
all
students
and
residents
of
the
area.
The
plan
is
easily
obtainable
through
Student
Services,
all
you
have
to
do
is
sign
out
for
it.
It
is
our
plan
to
present
a
very
detailed
critique
of
the
multi-year
plan
in
the
next
issue
of
Kaleidoscope
and
to
also
invite
the
public
to
participate
with
their
comments.
The
authors
of
the
plan
point
out
that
it
is
a
plan
and
as
such
should
be
viewed
as
a
process
rather
than
as
a
finished
product.
They
wish
to
foster
and
arouse
discussion
as
to
what
we
feel
the
college
should
provide.
As
stated
in
one
part
of
the
report
the
educational
needs
of
the
community
must
be
done
in
a
detailed
and
statistical
way,
rather
than
relying
on
vague
impressions.
As
an
arts
and
science
student,
I
accept
this
in
the
spirit
in
which
it
is
offered
and
would
call
for
a
survey
to
be
conducted
of
first
year
arts
and
sci
ence
students
as
to
why
they
do
not
intend
to
continue
on
the
second
year
and
a
survey
of
second
year
students

Cardboard
box
podium
by
PHYL
PARKER
The
podium
was
a
cardboard
box.
They
told
us
that
British
Columbia
has
six
Senators
out
of
the
102
total
in
the
Senate
and
this
is
spite
of
the
fact
that
B.C.
has
11
per
cent
of
the
population
of
Canada.
Stanley
Roberts
(ex
vice-president
of
Simon
Fraser
University)
is
President
of
the
Canada
West
Foundation.
The
Canada
West
Foundation
began
in
1973
as
an
independent,
non-profit,
non-partisan
organization.
The
objective
of
Canada
West
Foundation
is
to
identify,
promote,
and
seek
viable
means
of
fulfilling
the
goals
and
aspirations
of
the
West
WITHIN
Confederation.
Stanley
Roberts
presented
some
thought-provoking
ideas
about
the
Senate
and
the
House
of
Commons.
He
likened
the
Senate
to
an
old
folks
home;
its
function
is
that
of
a
rubber
stamp.
If
the
Senate
were
to
be
re-vitalized
into
a
body
with
authority
like
the
Senate
in
the
United
States
and
we
had
two
Senators
from
each
Province
in
Canada,
then
Western
Canada
and
the
Atlantic
Region
would
have
more
clout
in
Ottawa.
As
for
the
House
of
Commons,
he
noted
that
the
City
of
Toronto
has
more
representation
in
the
Commons
than
does
the
whole
of
British
Columbia.
Representation
by
population
is
not
working
out
fairly
and
perhaps
we
should
be
looking
at
representation
based
on
geographical
area.
Keith
Ralston,
U.B.C.
professor
of
history
summed
up
B.C.'s
part
in
Confederation
in
a
lively,
humourous
one-hour
lecture.
The
big
feature
of
the
Conference
was
the
simple
realization
that
these
people
had
come
to
Prince
George
to
find
out
how
we
really
felt
as
resi
dents
of
the
northern
part
of
B.C.
as
well
as
citizens
of
Canada.
The
feedback
was
revealing.
Two
viewpoints
expressed
from
the
audience
were
that
we
felt
isolated
from
the
lower
mainland
and
that
we
felt
deprived
in
not
having
the
opportunity
to
learn
our
second
language,
French.
As
Stanley
Roberts
noted,
the
Prince
George
Group
was
the
most
liberal
group
he'd
come
across
in
all
visits
in
Western
Canada.
Should
Canada
West
ever
return
to
Prince
George,
make
the
effort
to
attend;
you'll
find
you'll
have
a
voice
and
a
listener.
Letters
Editor
and
Staff:
I
have
just
read
your
first
issue
and
com
mend
you
for
your
excellent
publication.
I
am
delighted
that
you
have
taken
the
initiative
to
fill
a
verv
real
need
at
CNC.
The
closing
words
of
your
editorial
are
very
much
in
line
with
the
concept
of
"an
educated
man"
which
I
perceive
in
the
goals
established
by
the
Board
of
this
College.

This
map
shows
the
location
of
educational
institutions
in
British
Columbia
and
the
way
these
institutions
are
concentrated
in
the
lower
mainland.
to
determine
if
the
second
year
courses
offered
are
meeting
their
requirements
for
transfer
to
university,
and
if
not,
why
not?
I
would
further
call
for
a
regional
survey
to
find
an
indication
of
the
actual
numbers
that
would
be
interested
in
a
degree
granting
institution
in
Prince
George.
This
goes
beyond
the
college
mandate
but
surely
the
college
should
be
concerned
with
all
the
educational
needs
of
the
region
it
serves.
Second
year
enrollment
drops
off
dramatically
but
it
could
be
argued
that
were
there
a
greater
spectrum
,of
courses
and
were
there
third
and
fourth
years
to
go
on
to,
the
enroll
ment
decline
might
not
be
so
dramatic.
Each
aspiring
student
in
this
area
should
have
the
same
opportunity
for
education
as
those
in
Vancouver.
We
already
pay
the
price
of
cultural
deprivation
and
severe
climatic
conditions.
We
should
not
further
deprive
ourselves
of
the
opportunity
to
learn.
