Trinity Western's promo tion to university status was prompted by a private mem- ber’s bill introduced last April by Rita Johnston, the Social Credit member for Surrey.

Phillips, 56, said Tuesday he's “the happiest man in British Columbia” and in- tends to remain as the mem- ber for South Peace River until the next provincial election, when he plans to re- tire from ities. Tim Inkster, Socred cons’ tuency president for South Peace River, said Monday that Phillips told party ex ecutives in Dawson Creek during the weekend that he would not sit in the legis- lature as a backbencher. Inkster said Phillips wasn't happy about being shuffled out of cabinet before Expo opens May 2 in Vancouver.

CANADA SAFEWAY LIMITED misbehaving with the seven-year-old boy, Noyes blamed the child, saying the boy “had a problem” and had made sexual advances to him. The woman — whose name cannot be used under a court order to protect her son — also said Noyes told her he'd had a sexual lem himself but “his wife had helped him through it,” and he didn’t want other boys to develop the same way. The result of this meeting, the court was told, was that the woman, who had come to the school to complain about the teacher, went away thinking her son was to blame. She pursued the matter no further, assuming the principal would handle it. Earlier in the day, John Denley, Sunshine Coast school superintendent, testified he was never told, by the principal or anyone else, about the woman's complaint about Noyes. LONG HISTORY The Crown is asking the court to designate Noyes a dangerous offender and setence him to an indefinite term in prison following his guilty plea last month to 19 counts of molesting children in five B.C. communities, including Coquitlam and the Sunshine Coast, over a 15-year period. The woman testified that she first talked to school principal Robert Wetmore on the telephone, telling him what her son told her and giving the name of another boy involved. She said Wetmore called her back an hour later and said he had talked to Noyes and been told her son “had a problem” and the teacher wanted to talk to her about it. Late that day, she went to the school where Wetmore took her to a classroom where Noyes was waiting. The principal then left the two together. She said that after the meeting, never heard from Wetmore or Noyes again. Over the next few weeks, she said, she gradually became reconciled to the notion that her son was a homosexual and was relieved when, after telling her story to a counsellor, the boy was examined by a child care worker and pronounced “normal.” The sentencing hearing has previously heard from two Coquitlam women who said they were “talked out of” reporting Noyes to the police in 1978 by a school principal after learning he had molested their sons.
