Double-edged sword

Selkirk College's plan to attract
more foreign students is a bit like a
double-edged sword: it must be
wielded with care, otherwise it
could harm those it is intended to
protect. a

Still, there's little doubt about
the benefits of foreign students on
Selkirk College campuses. Aside
from the obvi cultural b

students to different lifestyles,

Foreign students would inject
much-needed revenue into the
West Kootenay at a time when the
area needs an economic boost.

But perhaps the most valuable
benefit of more foreign students
would be to shore up class'sizes-in
times of declining local enrolment
— thereby ensuring existing
college programs remain in place.

Instead of a college course
being eliminated because of insuf-
ficient enrolment, the course could
continue with foreign students
rounding out the class.

And there are benefits even if
local student enrolment climbs.
Foreign student enrolment would
simply mean the college could
provide a greater variety of cour-

students.

that problem would be to provide
more university-level courses at
community colleges like Selkirk

But often there isn’t the

That's where foreign students
could play a key part — by

Watch for some _ interesting
developments on Castlegar coun-

Terry Rogers reportedly plan to
shake things up a bit down at city

That's really no surprise because
both men ran on the need for
change on council. What's sur-
prising is that Mr. Oglow has ap-
parently wasted little time trying
to implement his new ideas.

-During last Monday’s inaugural
meeting Mr. Oglow suggested

and realized it belonged to the Brandon

found their way into Trooper Ed

By the time they arrived in Castle-

from having to tell over and over again
of their experiences of racism, fear,
death and flight; and physically from
the daily change of surroundings and

schedule of the tour.

Because of their exhaustion, they
were unable to visit all of the
classrooms that had prepared for their
visit, thus disappointing many students

‘End of justice’ mourned

Editor, News:

Let us mourn the passing of justice,
freedom and multiculturalism as put
forth in the Canadian Constitution and
the Human Rights Commission. 5

The arrest of the Haida people on
Lyell Island is one of a long line of
measures instituted by a compass-
ionate government. If the persecution
of these original inhabitants of the land
called Canada is a symbol of Christian-
ity, then what is transpiring in South
Africa is also justified.

Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
along with the Commonwealth nations
have deplored the blatant violations of
human rights by “a parti” but ignore
the same practices in their own nation.
The Conservatives promised during
their campaign for office to deal with
aboriginal rights, but to date have only
shoved it to one side. Do they really
care or are they trying to placate the
native peoples and hoodwink the rest
of us into believing in their compassion
and understanding?

We do not support the measures
taken by the‘courts and police against
the Haida band. We also know the
extent to which the ities will

retain their culture and way of life has
constantly been overridden by bureau-
cratic interference.

_At this point, they are asking that an
island be set aside and maintained for
the young people, as a natural habitat.
Is that really too much to ask?

On the one hand, the Indian is
extolled as a great spiritual people, but
then is kicked around and told to fit in
with the rest of society — or else.
When will this persecution end? We all
call for peace in the world but cannot
love our neighbor for himself, accept

the difference in culture and live in
harmony. Before the

internal problems, let us solve the ones

Take heart, brothers and sisters of
the Haida, you are not. alone in your

under-
standing. With God's help and guid-
ance, right will triumph over might.
We applaud your stand. The time will

There were four other letters

The mean minimum tem-
perature for the month was
7.2.

That easily beat the old
record of -3.7 set in 1978 and
was well-below the normal
mean minimum of -1.1.

As well, the overall mean
temperature of -4.9 broke
1978's record of -0.5. Normal
for November is 1.8.

The coldest temperature of
the month was a chilly -19.5
recorded on the 23th.

The cause of the cold was a
ridge of high pressure that
moved onto the coast about

and brought temperatures
down, the monthly weather
summary from the weather
office says.

On the bright side, sun-
shine was up and precipita-

The weather office re-
corded 70.9 hours of sunshine
in November, 13.8 hours
more than the normal 57.1.

Rain fell every day from
the 1st to the 7th — but not
after — and'amounted to 20.8
mm.

That's 43 per cent of the

month.

, Snowfall for the month was
slightly above normal. The
weather station recorded
31.8 cm. Normal for Novem-
ber is 30.9 cm.

Total precipitation for the
month was 48.4 mm or 63 per
