Gov't rejects
budgets of
six districts

VICTORIA (CP) — The budgets of six school
districts have been rejected for exceeding the spending
limits set by the p
Minister Jack Heinrich announced Tuesday.

The government has returned the budgets to school
boards in Vancouver, Coquitlam, Gowichan, Courtenay,
Campbell River and Vernon and ordered them trimmed.

‘The amended budgets are to be submitted by Feb.
28, Heinrich said.

The minister did not say what would happen if the
school boards refused to do so. “I am confident the school
board involved will follow the law and adhere to our
budget guidelines,” he said.

“They, the school distri know the content of the
School Act,” Heinrich said. “I will refresh my memory
and review the appropriate sections should it be
necessary to do so.”

In the most extreme case, the act allows the minister
to disband a defiant school board, but Heinrich said there
may be other remedies available.

“Those guidelines are developed using fair and
equitable rules which are consistently applied in each
school district throughout the province,” he said.

Dick Melville, spokesman for the Education
Ministry, said the six rejected budgets were among 55
received so far from the province's 75 school districts.

The districts were supposed to have submitted their
budgets by last Friday, but “We can't adhere strictly to
that deadline,” Melville said. “It's the mail and that sort
of thing.”

The budgets cover the six months from Jan. 1 to
June 30. Starting July 1, the education fiscal year will
coincide with the school year.

Organizers had hoped that some 4,000 students and
faculty from the university that has 25,600 full- and
part-time students would join the demonstration, but a
steady Pp and chilly appeared to have
kept many away.

“There is ‘no question that the universities are under
attack,” Glenna Chestnut, president of the university Alma
Mater Society, told the crowd gathered in a campus square.
“Our professors are being lured away to a better
environment.”

A similar rally was scheduled for the Simon Fraser

University campus, and students from the University of

Victoria demonstrated last week on the steps of the
legislature.

After a few speeches, about 500 of the demonstrators
made their way downtown, where they listened to more
speakers, including a brief address from the New
Democratic Party's education critic, Lorne Nicolson.

“WE'RE RESILIENT’

Nicolson said Premier Bill Bennett has “tried to break
the spirit of B.C., but we are too resilient. We might be bent,
but we won't be’ broken.”

He criticized the premierfor making no 4mention«of
education funding during his 30-minute televised address to
the province Monday night.

Several other speakers also criticized the government
at the rally on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

At the university demonstration, an organizer said an
invitation had been sent to the government to send a
speaker, but there was no reply.

After a few speeches, the demonstrators left the
university for a march downtown, where they were to hear
from Lorne Nicolson and Pauline Weinstein, chairman of the
Vancouver School Board.

A rally organizer said the Social Credit government did
not reply to an invitation asking it to send a speaker.

PROTEST CUTS

The protests focus on the government's decision, in
keeping with its restraint program, to cut five per cent from
the budgets of the three universities for the 1984-85 year,
forcing layoffs of faculty and support staff, salary freezes

and a tuition fee increase of 33 per cent.

While students waved placards that read, “I Want UBC,
Not UIC” and “No Bucks, No Brains,” the president of the
student's society drew a big cheer when he said, “No
government has ever won against its people. We will fight
and win.”

The students also formed a Great Trek '85 Committee
and circulated a petition which they would present later to
the government. The current committee was intended as an
offshoot of the “Great Trek” by the university students in
1923.

The students then were protesting the government's
slowness in completing buildings at the Point Grey campus
after the First World War. They marched in downtown
Vancouver and prompted the government to complete the
buildings. The students moved onto the present campus in
1925.

Fonyo to have
nuclear scan

VANCOUVER (CP) —
One-legged runner Steve
Fonyo will undergo a nuclear
sean at Children’s Hospital to
determine whether cancer is
present in his right leg, Dr.
David Chan said today.

Chan told a news confer-
ence following his half-hour
examination of Fonyo, who
lost his left ;leg to cancer
seven years ago, that a
nuclear scan is “a bone scan
to see if there are any hot
areas.”

He said a recurrence of
cancer would show up as a
hot area.

Chan said Fonyo complain
ed of “a little bit of pain
around the knee joint” and
another small area on his
thigh. He said X-rays were
taken in Brandon because a
lesion was suspected and
tests will be repeated today

Fonyo's father, Steve Sr.,
said it was too early to talk
about whether his son's
cross-Canada run would be
halted.

“He wants to continue, it’s
his di ion, he's grown up
and he’s his own man. Steve's
spirit is very good.”

Chan said a biopsy might
be performed, adding that
results of the nuclear scan
might be known later in the
day.

Steve's father revealed
that his son had known about
the problem for about a
week. He said when he
discovered it while changing
a bandage on Fonyo's knee,
his son said: “Don't worry
about it.”

He said his son continued
to run after he asked him to
