More Junior Colleges Wanted in B.C.
To Aid Our Growing Student Population

The observation in Vancouver last
week by Dr. Norman MacKenzie, retiring
president of the University of British Col-
ulmbia, that colleges should be pl: d
now in the lower mainland and other
B.C. centres to handle 30,000 students
wus will demand university education by
i970, is worthy of both study and com-
ment.

Dr. MacKenzie told his coast aud-
jence that even with strict screening
there will be 20,000 university students
four years from now and 30,000 students
by. 1970.

Dr. MacKenzie’s remark at the meet-
ing that he is ‘one of those who believe
university education should be made

like a comment from a man who has
strongly fought against the establishment

in this province. However, Dr. MacKen-

Kennedy's Horizon

lf the U.S. Tariff Schedule is Slashed

President Kennedy’s plan for a
wholesale lowering of U.S. tariffs could
m B.C. . The likely
Supaet is aes jobs and more industry.
But equally probable would be marked
shifts in the kinds of goods we make and
where we sell them.

As far as many B.C. industries are
concerned, U.S. tariff cuts could be a

nly unpr d or semi-fin-
ished goods made here can now enter
the U.S. duty-free or with only a nominal
tariff. Finished: goods face an extra cost
of up to 22% per cent.

The basic exports from this province
to the U.S. are rough or semi-dressed
lumber, newsprint, pulp, base metals,
frozen fish, crude oil and natural gas.

The US. tariff wall, however, keeps
out a long list of more finished commod-
ities—plywood, kraft papers, canned sal-
mon, refined metals, finished lumber,
processed agricultural products and re-
fined petroleum. |

Also in the ivhole of the U.S. North-
- west, there is no basic industry. The

centralizati will take to the
students. i
Decentralization will also make it
more possible—from a cost point of
view—for d to take o!
higher educational opportunities and it
cannot be denied that smaller colleges
can better contribute -towards the chiar-
acter development of a student than can
