From
The
Editor...
When
it
comes
to
the
bungling
of
finances,
the
Fed's
could
learn
a
thing
or
two
from
our
Student
Association.
According
to
the
Student
Association's
own
records,
between
the
time
they
came
to
office
(early
October)
and
December
1st,
they
had
already
squandered
over
five
thousand
of
your
dollars
on
their
per
diems.
The
association
receives
personal
per
diems
of
$50
per
day
when
they
leave
town
on
business.
They
left
town
a
lot..
Consider
this:
Five
thousand
dollars
at
fifty
dollars
per
day
would
equal
one
Student
Association
member
being
away
for
a
hundred
days
or,
the
entire
council
gone
for
over
14
days.
The
council
might
have
better
spent
this
money
actually
on
the
students.
Let's
see,
with
five
thousand
dollars,
they
could
have
purchased
over
70
CNC
vs.
REALLY
Post
secondary
education
provides
the
ability
to
move
up"
the
world
like
no
other
activity.
But
which
Prince
George
institution
provides
the
better
education?
I
will
attempt
to
provide
a
comparison.
Now
that
the
CNC
education
monopoly
has
been
broken
with
the
establishing
of
UNBC,
there
is
some
bitterness
at
CNC.
Not
only
is
UNBC
higher
physically,
it
offers
higher
levels
of
education,
new
facilities
and
a
superior
attitude.
Only
Ph.D.
professors
are
allowed
to
teach
at
UNBC.
Johnny
off
the
street
with
lots
of
work
experience
can
teach
at
a
college.
UNBC
is
often
quoted
in
the
local
media
as
the
place
to
find
experts
on
subjects
ranging
from
forestry
to
statistics.
CNC
is
not.
The
dorms
at
UNBC
provide
community
living
for
500
students.
Groups
of
four
students
sharing
a
kitchen,
living
room
and
each
others'
company.
All
textbooks
or
paid
for
about
34
3
credit
courses.
Before
they
helped
themselves
they
should
have
tried
to
help
the
students
they
were
elected
to
serve.
Personally
I
did
not
know
my
student
fees
would
go
to
buy
council
members
embroidered
jackets
and
personalized
Christmas
stockings.
The
council
has
wasted
our
money
on
trips
to
places
like
Quebec,
the
Island
and
several
other
more
local
destinations,
all
paid
for
out
of
our
pockets.
The
Council
takes
money
from
it's
Building
Fund
to
continually
pay
off
it's
debts.
In
the
words
of
Student
President
Brent
Whyte
this
action
is,
"...not
legal".
The
Building
Fund
was
meant
to
be
saved
until
such
time
as
the
school
could
afford
to
build
a
new
wing
in
order
to
better
aid
students.
The
Association
is
now
trying
to
find
legal
loop
holes
to
escape
the
Taxman
and
keep
it's
TO
Iml
CNC
residents
must
share
one
kitchen.
The
on-campus
pub
at
UNBC
is
not
housed
in
a
structure
resembling
an
ATCO
trailer.
UNBC's
new
forest
science
building
will
be
finished
in
time
for
the
next
academic
year
providing
world
class
research
facilities.
In
contrast,
the
renovations
to
CNC
will
start
when
the
funding
can
be
secured.
This
would
appear
to
be
some
time
in
the
new
millennium
(3000).
However,
CNC
does
have
two
things
to
offer
students.
It's
homely
atmosphere
allows
for
close
student
interaction.
The
friends
made
here
will
provide
working
relationships
for
later
in
life.
The
second
point
is
with
the
cost
of
tuition
at
UNBC,
it's
no
wonder
that
students
decide
to
start
here.
And
there's
the
rub;
they
cant'
finish
here.
CNC's
proud
tradition
of
offering
education
to
students
will
continue.
"Society"
status.
In
Vancouver,
students
dissatisfied
with
their
student
council
have
"elected
to
not
pay
their
student
fees.
I
encourage
all
concerned
students
to
come
to
the
student
association
and
ask
to
see
the
Councils
financial
books
(under
their
constitution
they
have
to
produce
within
24
hours
upon
request)
and
see
for
yourselves.
I
also
encourage
students
to
write
letters
to
the
College
President
demanding
reimbursement
for
simply
wasted
money.
Oh,
and
has
the
Student
Association
done
anything
for
you?
Why
yes,
they
hosted
a
quiet
party
in
December
which
set
them
further
in
debt
by
about
twenty-four
hundred
dollars.
By
the
way,
when
the
council
is
away
on
business,
they
are
entitled
to
one
free
drink
on
our
backs,
I
don't
want
to
buy
these
people
a
drink.
So,
Student
Association
Executive,
for
all
you
do,
this
Bud's
for
you...

Welders,

Yet
with
every

the
shadowed
cast
by
the
new

will
slowly
cover
CNC.
