Peregrym said in an inter- view that the reasons for the cost overrun were “we had to do more than we expected to do.” “We were renovating an old building, and in renovat- ing an old building you don't know what you are going to do until you finally tear it apart. When you've finally got it apart, between gov- ernment regulations and code regulations, it’s more than anticipated,” he said. Higher costs included: e heating and ventilating: $82,000 instead of $32,000 — an extra $50,000. $32,000 to hire an outside contractor to do electrical wiring. About 60 of the 1,100 members who shéwed up at the meeting were told that the society learned workers paid $8 per hour through the NEED grant were not suf- ficiently qualified in electrical wiring to do the job. As well, over $10,000 in overtime wages were paid in order to have the lodge open in December in time for an expected Christmas rush, which did not materialize to the extent hoped for, due to cold weather. Members asked why the $112,000 overrun was not mentioned at the fall meeting on Nov. 23.

Bruce Meldrum, noting that it’s not uncommon for administration and tors to travel within the job, said the trip will be part of his professional development for the next few years. Meldrum begins his trip June 12 when he makes a stop in Toronto to attend a computer manufacturing con- ference before flying to Eng- land where he is scheduled to tour a number of various in- dustries and training institu- tions whieh offer programs similar to those at Rosemont.

He noted that Belgium has an identical system to that of Germany, but it was thought easier to go to Belgium be- cause the majority of people speak English there. Meldrum said travel such as this, gives him an oppor- tunity to gain new ideas, making the trip well worth- while. He adds that 6ther travels have taken him throughout Canada and the US. “We do the same with our instructors,” he says, noting that they have been. sent throughout the continent for various conferences. College principal Leo Perra noted that travel funds are established in most in- dividuals’ budgets.

The waiver, which instructors were asked to sign, renounced all future’ ac- tions, causes of action, suits, debts, claims and demands whatsoever, in- cluding any claims under the B.C. La- bor Code. Both faculty and PPWC members were asked to sign the waiver, but few did. Jones said in talking to lawyers, the groups found out the waiver was illegal because it compels employees to give up their legal rights. He said it also forces members of a bargaining unit to bargain individually with the employer. The letter from Perra stated that the college was withdrawing “with great reluctance” the request for a waiver. Jones said the college was reluctant to withdraw the waiver because of the concern that it could be faced with future additional costs as a result of action taken by members. “We feel ‘the whole idea of ‘great reluctance because of cost-saving meas- ures’ is tactless and in keeping with the way we feel we have been treated all the way along,” Jones said. “We feel the whole dealing here illustrates real mismanagement and inefficiency of administration,” he said. He said the DTUC faculty have asked the Selkirk College Faculty Association to submit to the board a memorandum indicating “the faculty's outrage at the college's use of a waiver requiring the relinquishing of legis- lative rights, its dismay at the un- warranted delays in resolving the matter and finally concern with Selkirk College personnel practices, which are in need of review by the board, if its ethical and co-operative relations with the staff are ever to become a reality.” Meanwhile, Jones said that only a handful of DTUC faculty have jobs on other Selkirk College campuses, and only three have positions elsewhere in the country.

DEALERS WARNED Provincial lottery corporations ac- ross Canada have warned their re- tailers they would be cut off if they were found to be selling the federal government's Canada Sports Pool Corp. tickets. Besides losing his Loto 6-49 terminal, Keating has been told he will be cut off from all the other lotteries the cor- poration handles, including the Prov- incial, Super Loto, A-Plus Loto 50 and Match 8 draws. John Sears, New Brunswick-P.E.I. manager, for the federal pool, said his organization intends to ptovide legal assistance to Townsend ahd any other retailer who wants to fight Atlantic Loto in the courts. B.C. Provincial Secretary Jim Cha- bot says the sports pool will lose money. “If the federal government is inter- ested in making money, I'm sure it will not stick to the sports pool because it will do nothing but lose money,” Chabot said in an interview. “We have ample experience of that in the province of Quebec,” he said. “When they had a sports lotto there it didn't work. “We have ample examples in Europe as well — it doesn't work. Furthermore it doesn't work when you have other games of chance in place that are less complex and convoluted as the sports pool they are attempting to put into place.” The provinces and the federal gov- ernment are at loggerheads over the pool, The provinces say it is an abro- gation of a 1979 agreement whereby the federal government gave exclusive jurisdiction over lotteries to the prov- inces while Ottawa says it is not a lottery but a game of skill. for the institution, which he estimated as well over $100,000 for the college.

Kamrath was employed by the Suburban National Bank of Eden Prairie, Minn. ARMS TALKS WASHINGTON (AP) — President Reagan renewed his call for Soviet co-operation in talks aimed at reducing the chances of accidental nuclear war, and said Saturday the United States is still waiting for the Soviets to return to more general arms control negotiations. In a statement in advance of the reopening of the multination disarmament talks in Stockholm on Tuesday, Reagan said: “The western nations are ready for a serious dialogue” on confidence-building measures, improving communications and reducing tensions be. tween the great powers and their allies. “We hope this is true of the East as well,” he said. RELEASE REQUESTED WASHINGTON (REUTER) — Jesse Jackson, a contender for the Democratic ‘U.S. presidential nomina. tion, has asked Syrian President Hafez al-Assad to release three Israelis that Syria captured this week, a Jackson campaign spokesman said Saturday.

Man with/toy gun shoots at Pope SEOUL (AP) — The Yon. hap news agency said a man was arrested today after firing “several shots from what was believed to a pop gun” when the motorcade of Pope John Paul was passing along a Seoul street. It said the pontiff was not injured. The Korean agency said the incident occurred as the Pope was going to Myong. dong Cathedral in downtown Seoul for an early morning mass. There was no immed. iate confirmation from auth orities. John Paul arrived in South Korea on Thursday for a five-day visit Yonhap said a man who appeared to be in his 20s jumped from a crowd lining the street and “fired several shots.” It reported he was seized immediately by police. There had been reports that there might be an attempt in Seoul on the Pope's life and security has been extremely tight throughout his visit. Yonhap said the shooting occurred in front of a theatre and about 20 metres from the cathedral where the Pope was scheduled to celebrate mass. He was travelling in his bullet-proof popemobile brought from the Vatican. CBS News, in a report from the scene, quoted police as saying the weapon was a “toy gun” and the assailant was a university student. John Paul has been the target of two other attemp- ted assassinations during’ his 5';-year pontificate. He was shot and seriously wounded in Rome by a Turkish gunman on May 13, 1981, and narrowly escaped injury when a deranged Spanish Roman Catholic priest lunged at him with a bayonet exactly one year later in Fatima, Portugal.

SHELLING IN BEIRUT Christian and Moslem factions, as well as quarrelling Moslem groups, shelled each other's sectors of Beirut Saturday, with at least seven people reported killed and 37 injured in the heaviest bombardment of residential areas in more than three weeks. National television put the casualty toll as high as 10 dead and 75 injured. The shelling came as a crisis over the formation of a national unity government to tackle the civil war dragged through its sixth day. KOREAN CANONIZATIONS SEOUL (AP) — Pope John Paul will canonize the first Korean saints today when he elevates 103 martyrs to sainthood in the first such ceremony outside the Vatican since the 13th century. It is the largest number ever canonized at one time. In a demonstration of solidarity with Roman Catholics in this overwhelmingly Buddhist country, the pontiff will canonize the 93 Koreans and 10 French martyrs slain in Korea in the 19th century during massacres of Catholics. The ceremony in downtown Seoul's Yoido Plaza is expected to attract half a million people. BIG DIPPER ICE CREAM my $399 SUN RYPE APPLE JUICE OLD DUTCH POTATO __ CHIPS CENTRAL FOOD 10 years after Expo SPOKANE (AP) — Community leaders maintain the upbeat messages of quality of life, industrial development possibilities, abounding recreational activities and civic spirit 10 years after more than five million people passed through the gates of Expo ‘74. The physical improvements are obvious for David Rodgers, Spokane mayor from 1968 to 1976 and now chief deputy state insurance commissioner. “But the feeling of self-esteem, community and self-worth” are more intangible. Spokane, a city of 170,000 decided in 1971 that some: thing more than a centennial celebration was needed to boost public: spirits. “We were essentially isolated and off the beaten track,” Rodgers said. “Spokane gave a party and the world came.” The fair, built on Havermale Island in the Spokane River after the railroad tracks, warehouses and dilapidated shacks were torn down, took an environmental theme. Sen. Daniel Evans, R-Wash., who was governor at the time, said in his remarks helping to close the fair that the next task was to prove the dreams of the fair could come true and “that we can live in a future that has a new sense of love for our environment, a new sense of brotherhood for each other.” Spokane was the smallest city ever to host a world's fair. The organizers almost broke even, dipping into a special fund for about $724,000 (U.S.) to pay final costs and returning the remainder to donors. SMALLER SCALE While Expo '74 was admittedly on a smaller scale, its financial performance was better than the $230 million loss at the New York Fair and $250 (U.S.) million recorded for Expo °67 in Montreal. Whether Vancouver's $1.2 billion (Can) Expo '86 makes money remains to be seen. However, labor problems have, and threaten to, plague its construction Meantime, the ramifications of Spokane'’s fair continue, according to city and county officials County planner Wallace Hubbard thought the environ mental theme increased the awareness of such problem areas as Spokane River pollution and the need for a Spokane Valley sewer system. The city gained about $500 million in improvements downtown at a cost to the city itself of not quite $6 million, Cole estimated. Expo general manager Peter Spirney revealed after the fair closed that officials thought about closing early due to air pollution problems, mostly from auto exhaust Some predicted that many new people would move to Spokane after they had seen the city Fonyo runs into problem VERNON (CP) — One- legged runner Steve Fonyo has interrupted his Journey for Lives because of a fitting problem with his artificial leg, his father reported Sat. urday. “When he put on the leg this morning it just fell off,” the 18-year-old runner's fa. ther, Steven, said from the family home in this Okanagan town. The attempt at a 7,175- kilometre run across Canada, which began March 31 at St. John's, Nfld., stalled in Cor ner Brook. “It's probably a matter of getting in running trim,” Fonyo’s medical attendant and driver, Romeo Gadbois, said in a telephone interview. “He's losing a bit of weight and his cup on his artificial leg is not holding suction.” Color Me! ..
