“I am disappointed because we clearly have

said Elsie MeMurphy, president of the 30,000-member BG
Teachers’ Federation. “I guess the fear is that it can only get
worse.”

Because the government refused to make any
substantive changes. “We have no other choice but to

Education Minister Tony Brummet said he was

Brummet said he would discuss the amendments with
cabinet today and if possible introduce the changes in the
legislature this week.

The B.C. School Trustees’ Association, the third part in
the negotiations, called the talks a success because there will
be some unspecified amendments.

“Trustees and teachers of this province will he happy
that we have gone a long way towards discussing concerns in
Bill 20,” said president Charles Hingston. “There will be
many amendments, some of which we believe are significant
and will go a long way to improving the bill.”

McMurphy was particularly upset that the government
refused to discuss what she called “ “substantive issues” like

She said the government arbitrarily decided to set up

the federation.

“We've already seen how disruptive that legislation is
and I think one of the main reasons this has happened is that
this separation doesn't exist in any other jurisdiction in
Canada,” McMurphy told reporters.

The other major concerns of the federation include
increased government power to govern teachers; the
college's disciplinary powers would lessen the autonomy of
school boards and put teachers in a position of double
jeopardy, and teachers autonomy to choose methods of
instruction is threatened.

Another major concern was the separation of principals
and vice-principals from teachers for both disciplinary action
and in bargaining.

McMurphy said by doing that the government has
imposed a “factory model of industrial relations on a school.”

“All the research tells us that a collegial relationship not
a boss-worker relationship is the prime requisite for having
education improved at the school level,” she said. “This

B.C.'s LARGEST

Companies could merge

TORONTO (CP) — An eventual merger between two of
Britjsh Columbia’s largest forest products companies would
maké sense if it could be made ‘palatable to a the
chief of their

Sir Ronald Trotter, chairman of of Fletcher Challenge Ltd.
of New Zealand, said Tuesday that British Columbia\Forest
Products Ltd. and Crown Forest Industries Ltd. |would
benefit from consolidation but that Canadian shareholders
and governments must be convinced of this before any move
is made.

“It’s something we think about, but we can't go much
further until the two boards of directors and regulators
agree,” he said.

Fletcher Challenge, a conglomerate that owns the
largest forest products operation in New Zealand, recently
added the purchase of 48 per cent of B.C. Forest to the 96
per cent of Crown Forest it has owned since 1983.

Fletcher now controls the second- and fourth-largest
forest products companies in British Columbia, with
combined assets of about $2 billion. Both B.C. companies are
based in Vancouver.

WIDESPREAD HOLDINGS

In addition to the two B.C. companies, it owns an
interest in a Chilean paper mill and assorted industrial
property and food processing holdings in Australia, Britain
and the South Pacific.

For the first six months ended Dec. 31, 1986, Fletcher's
profit was $118 million on sales of $2.37 billion. This does not

Trotter, also chairman of Crown Forest, was in’ Toronto
to speak to i dealers and instituti buyers

He announced at the Crown Forest annual meeting last
week that Fletcher wants to earn dual citizenship by selling
equity to Canadians, particuarly its employees.

It hopes to raise about $200 million on shares in a new
subsidiary called Fletcher Challenge Canada Inc. The stock
will be priced between $20 and $30, and the proceeds put
toward debt reduction and other corporate purposes in
Canada and elsewhere, the company said.

South African
elections held

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Whites voted today in a
parliamentary election and voteless blacks stayed away
from work and school to express their scorn for the
balloting.

Police guarded polling stations: as white voters lined up
in the morning chill of the app’
winter.

Six explosions across the country on Tuesday injured 12

and killed a black truck driver. The National party
government has said/the outlawed African National
Congress guerrilla organization planned to disrupt the
elections.

Except for voters, Johannesburg’s streets were almost
deserted. Black workers: and’ students stayed ‘home fora
second day to protest the election and’ the almost
11-month-old state of emergency.

More than 500,000 blacks took Tuesday in the
boycott, called by black labor unions and anti-apartheid
groups. Today's boycott appeared even more widespread.

More than three million whites are eligible to vote today
inthe election for the domitant chamber of the tricameral

Seats in the ch ig people of
mixed race and those of Indian descent will not be contested
until 1989.

Two of the 166 elective seats are not being contested.
The chamber, called the House of Assembly, has a total of
178 seats, with 12 filled by presidential and party
appointments.

Significant election results were not expected until
Thursday morning.

HAVE NO VOICE

South Africa's 24 million blacks have no voice in the
national government. Under apartheid, separate residential
districts, schools and health facilities are maintained for
blacks and whites.

Reporters from Alexandra, a black township of 120,000
north of Johannesburg, said today’s boycott was 100 per
cent.

Murphy Morobe, spokesman for the United Democratic
Front anti-apartheid coalition, said today: “Reports reaching
the UDF from various regions show a massive and
unprecedented support for our call for national protest
action... Latest figures at our disposal show an effective
80-85 per cent active support countrywide.”

Four universities— for whites, mixed-race citizens an
blacks — closed today. Some officials said the closure was to
prevent violence and damage to university property that has
occurred in the past week when police have broken up
student demonstrations.

But teachers and students said the schools were closed
in solidarity with disenfranchised blacks.

Police detained some journalists and arrested 50 white
students from the University of Natal who were protesting
the election and recent police action at universities.

President P.W. Botha called today's election two years
early to seek a mandate to negotiate with blacks.

Botha has said he needs a mandate to continue gradual
reforms of some discriminatory laws and give blacks a
limited role in national policy-making. He has promised to
resist majority rule and maintain segregated schools and
neighborhoods.

Two far-right parties oppose any modifications of
apartheid and want to reinstate discriminatory laws that
have been rescinded in the last few years.
