SILVER MEDALLIST . .

. BCIT graduate Richard Lowe, an apprentice

aircraft maintenance engineer at Sel Air in Castlegar, is one of this

year's recipients of the Lieutenant Governor's Silver Medal

The

criteria for the award is academic excellence along with institute and
community service. Lowe, who received the silver medal recognizing
academic excellence in trades training, was a journeyman welder in
heavy duty mechanics before he decided to attend BCIT’s 16-month
aircraft maintenance program at the Sea Island Campus.

Government

absolves CSIS

of wrongdoing

OTTAWA (CP) The Canadian
Security Intelligence Service has put
its house in order and is finally
developing into “the kind of agency
that Parliament intended,” say the
civilian watchdogs who monitor the
service

A year after the head of CSIS
resigned over a bungled wiretap, the
service has tightened its operating
rules and is running a first-rate
anti-terrorist operation, the five
member oversight committee report
ed Tuesday

“We believe the security service
has indeed turned the corner,” said
Ron Atkey, the former Tory MP who
chairs the all-party committee

In their annual report tabled in the
Commons, committee members de
fended CSIS against allegations that
it mishandled its investigation of
Sikh militants before the 1985 bomb
ing of an Air-India jumbo jet

They also rejected claims that the
security service was responsible for
letting a convicted Palestinian ter
rorist slip into the country last year,
or that it later blocked efforts to get
him out

And they said the service has
apparently given up its habit in
herited from the former RCMP
security service that was disbanded
in 1984 — of harassing labor unions
and domestic dissidents.

PROPOSES ALTERNATIVE

The most pointed criticism they
offered was that CSIS is better at
day-to-day operations than at long
term analysis.

The committee suggested the gov
ernment may want to set up a new
agency, outside the security service,
to handle
make sure intelligen
routed through the
channels to the people who can make
best use of them

One proposed solution would be to
create a kind of intelligence clearing

“strategic” analysis and
reports get

bureaucratic

house, modeled on the Australian
government's Office of National As.
sessments.

Reid Morden, who took over as
director of CSIS in September 1987,
welcomed the “positive tone” of the
report following a year of turmoil.

Morden replaced Ted Finn, who
quit after the service admitted it had
relied on a discredited informer to
get judicial permission -to tap the
phone of a suspected Sikh militant in
British Columbia

The revelation made the evidence
gathered by the tap inadmissible in
court and forced the Crown to stay
conspiracy charges in the shooting of
a visiting Punjabi cabinet minister.

Later, there were allegations that
the erasure of other wiretap tapes
deprived investigators of vital evi
dence in the downing of the Air-India
jumbo jet, which plunged into the
Irish Sea in June 1985 after a terror
ist bomb apparently went off on
board

But Atkey, reiterating a prelimin.
ary opinion first delivered a year ago,
said the oversight committee has
found no proof that key evidence was
lost. The routinely erases
tapes, but only after making trans.
cripts.

The committee also absolved CSIS
of blame in allowing Mahmoud

next three years as the
produces 2,!

Job pros.

province
00 more teachers than it
needs, says a provincial government
report

But the Gerry
Ewert, associate director of planning
for Alberta Education, says the good
news is that by the mid-1990s, the
surplus could turn into a shortage

Ewert said most new openings will
be created by retiring teachers, not
by an increase in the student popula
tion. But he said any number of
variables could upset the projections

“It’s impossible to anticipate ex
actly what will happen,” Ewert said

report's author,

If there's a real demand for second
languages, for example, we could
never meet the demand

And if there's another oil boom,
the population in our schools would
be dramatically affected.”

Like others, Ewert said prospec
tive teachers will have to learn how
to teach several subjects if they hope
to land full-time jobs.

The report says 1,848 teachers are
scheduled to graduate from Alberta
universities this year; 1,091 former
teachers will attempt to re-enter the
profession; and 1,150 others will
move here from out of the province.

That means 4,089 teachers will be
competing for an estimated 3,259
positions.
