WILLIAM SAYWELL . president of Simon Fraser University SFU FUNDING REDUCED continued trom front poge increase in students has meant dollars per student have dropped 30 per cent over the past five years, while tuition fees have risen from about $500 to $1,300, says Saywell. Simon Fraser's $78 million budget for the 1985-86 school year includes a $5 million shortfall, if a scheduled salary increase for faculty is included. That's a five per cent decrease in funding, which follows a five per cent decrease last year The provincial government this year put forward a $14.9 million “university adjustment fund” which has been designated to cut down on the size of B.C universities by buying out contracts of faculty whose programs have been cut, and paying for early retire ments. But Saywell says that despite the fact that on Frasers’ 1985-86 fiscal year started April 1, “we don't know yet how much of that money we're going to get for what purpose.” And Saywell is critical of the provincial govern ment's diversion of federal funding for B.C. universities: into other areas, such as health care. “They have the legal right to do that, but it's very discouraging when the federal government is putting all the money into your budget and the province is diverting it to other expenditures. “So that is the most discouraging thing for me.” says Saywell. “It's not singularly the question of inadequate money to do what you have to do, but it's the question of two things: will this government's priorities to education change, and when will the B.C. economy start picking up?” Saywell was scheduled to tour Cominco, speak to the Trail school board and public service organizations, and meet with Selkirk College faculty during his visit to the West Kootenay “T'm basically here to learn, and to find out what are on people's minds, particularly as it relates to education in other parts of the province,” he said, pointing out that students from all over B.C. attend Simon Fraser. Saywell said he is unfamiliar with the situation at Selkirk College, but suggested that all post-secondary institutions in B.C. “are going to have to say more and more about public (educational) this province.” priorities in man of the ation and finance committee, said council decided to poll the business community because a number of DBA members approached him who were “unhappy” with the proposed bylaw on Sunday and holiday shopping.

Worn once by mistake, would make nice curtains.” THE CASTLEGAR Ferry was out of operation for part of Monday and Tuesday morning when a cable slipped off. Word around town had it that the ferry wasn’t operating because the Columbia River level is too low. Though the river level is low, that wasn't the reason, says Highways Ministry regional manager Dennis Oliver. The discharge over Keenleyside Dam is the reason for the low river level. The discharge is at its lowest level allowed under the Columbia River Treaty — 5,000 cubic feet per second. However, Lawrence Flynn, B.C. Hydro’s assistant superintendent, says the river is even lower because the discharge over the Brilliant Dam is also low. Spring runoff into the Kootenay River is “a little later than usual,” he said. However, Hydro will increase the discharge over Keenleyside Dam to 10,000 cubic feet per second on Thursday or Friday. As well, Hydro plans to shut off the water over the dam for about four hours Friday to perform an under- water inspection of the dam. Flynn says the shutoff will be brief, it shouldn't have a noticeable affect on the river level. ARE YOU A zapper? Zappers are television watchers who “mute” TV commercials or change channels during commercials with their remote control. The MacLaren Advertising agency of Toronto says there are twice as many Canadians zapping TV ads as Ameri- cans. - The agency estimates that oné in 10 commercials may be “zapped” in this country compared to only one in 20 in the U.S. And now the agency is researching techniques to beat zappers.

Brisco said in an inter. view today there was a feel. ing of tight security wher. ever he went. For instance, in his Mos- cow hotel no one could get in without a pass, and the key was turned into a house mother on the floor the room was one. “I don’t think it’s healthy, this kind of circumstance when Soviet citizens must have a formal visa to travel from city to city,” he said. Even the workers at the Canadian Embassy are res- tricted to a 40 kilometre range outside of Moscow However, Brisco noticed that the country is very industrious. “They are doing things on a grand scale,” he said. “When they decide to go for- ward with (a project) they go right after it. Cost and man power are no obstruction.” In meetings with the Sov iets, Brisco said officials spent the first 20 to 25 minutes with prepared open ing statment dealing with generalities “Once having said that, you can get down to specifies, he said. “It's a different style then we are accustomed to Peter Legebokoff dies Peter Alex Legebokoff of Crescent Valley passed away Monday, April 8 at the age of 63.

Brisco added that both Canadian and Soviet officials were uncomfortable in one another's presence until each side got to know the other. “There was a general let- down of hair, people started to unwind, they became ac- customed to one another,” he said. He was also struck by the number of war memorials in the cities visited. Brisco said that in Kiev stands a statue of a woman holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. The figure — the focal point of Kiev — is 65 metres high. Inside the struc. ture are all kinds of artifacts and memorabilia from World War Two. Underneath the statue is a dome shaped structure and on the wall are the names of all the people who lost their lives defending Kiev. Brisco had the impression the Soviet government wants to remind its citizens of the. invasions of the country dur ing the war. The country lost MEMBER OF Brisco said that some signi- ficant gains for Canada were made as a result of the tour. Clark informed Soviet Af- fairs Minister Andrei Grom- yko where Canada stood in terms of the NATA alliance, he said. “He did not hedge that at all.” Other matters of mutual concern that were addressed were trade, scientific and cultural exchanges. One item in which the Soviets ex- pressed interest was Can- ada’s northern oil and gas discovery methods. They also expressed in terest in pollution problems. Brisco said Canada is re ceiving a lot of fall-out from Soviet operations in the north. Brisco feels he was sele- It was also the first visit by a Minister of External Af- fairs since 1973. Clark also mentioned the treatment of Soviet dissi- dents. “There should be a greater exchange,” Brisco said. “We've got 400 to 500 applic- ations by Soviets to immi- gate” During last summer's federal election campaign Brisco proposed that local Doukhobors act as unofficial goodwill ambassadors to the Soviet Union. He says that although this proposal can still take place, it will take time to work out. He said it all depends on continuation of contact with the Soviets, adding that one of the purposes of the visit was to for ected as part of the because there are about 5,000 residents of Russian decent in his constituency.
