Delegates at the Koote- nay Regional Arts Council (Western division) meeting held last Saturday at Selkirk College, voted to postpone decision on the proposal that the Western region hire a paid coordinator to bring in touring groups,

This proposal, made by the Kootenay-Columbia Arts Council (Nelson), suggested that the Regional Arts Coun--. cil apply to the B.C. Cultural Fund for half the salary required for a part-time poition and that individual arts councils pay a per- centage of their per capita grant to cover the other half.

The head of the B.C. Touring Council, Rory Ralston, was present. at the meeting to advise members of the Touring Council's future plans, which include a five-year plan for regional development. Two regional coordinators would work on a full-time basis from the pro- vincial office, organizing and

Baltor, Castlegar News; 4 Alright, “enough «is

I Would suggest that Mr.

| weekly article has gone be- {yond a jokel_

For quite sometime, ‘Frye regularily read ‘One **Man's Opinion’ in the hope of finding something - anything that resembles wisdom; alas,

to.no avail. I must admit

though, that I'm continually ‘amazed at the man's ability to. plumb the depths of shallowness,

.,., Usually, as it turns out, ‘Mr. Merriman's opinions con- * sist of having no opinion at all, and his unending string of ‘pearls’ seems to flow from a ‘rushing ‘stream of uncon- sciousness’ from, ‘a beautiful

_ little camping spot, right

across from city hall’ to ‘not enough captains in marriage,’ Fred presents us with a view .of our community and the “ world, through the eyes of an “avowed ‘Astigmatic.’

_ _” Last week, dear ald Fred actually put forth what ap- pears to be an opinion. While his jabs at Mickey Kinakin are couched in feeble at- tempts at humor, Mr. Merri- man does, indeed, have an opinion about somebody and a situation he admittedly i;knows nothing about.

In an effete, but totally inept .manner, he has at- tempted a character assassi- nation of one men, end by -implication, all working

eople, all the while exhort-

“when Mr.

jective sounds something like’

‘whatevér’ the status “quo dictates,’ It seems he is suggesting that people in high positions must always be right, because after all, they are in a-high position; and that all of us ignorant lower types should be grate- ful to have such well-edu- cated, highly-paid, folks di- recting our lives,

IfFred had his druthers, we would still be hanging from trees picking lice off each others’ heads.

To come.to the point; Merriman - does actually have an opinion (which is rare indeed) he should take the time to follow his own advice. He should try talking to the people he choses, to attack in his sideways fashion — Mickey Kinakin, ‘and some of the other ‘uneducated’ lurking around Selkirk College.

I think he'll be surprised to find that we don't need his misguided grovelling before the alter of education and position. If Fred .needs’ it, fine, but I wish he wouldn't do it in front of me.

One last comment: I think it's about time Fred Merriman obtained a permit to pollute; in other words, ‘One Man's Opinion’ stinks.

In my opinion, Roger J. Cristofoli

Editor, Castlegar Newe: Mr. Merriman, in_ his ne Man's Opinion” of June 1, continues.in his regular

Higher education ap-

& pears to be a major factor in

your view of the world. No thank you! I was a member of academia for four years. Alla higher education usually gives one is more ways to find excuses for doing noth- ing or-making that nothing appear as sincere moral furor.

We have the most ed- ucated society in history, yet our society is geared to giving us methods of escap- ing from our reality.

Mr. Merriman. wishes me the best of luck in attaining a job as principal of Selkirk College. He says that attaining that will be as

the of working People.

“The statement I find most amusing in Mr. Merri- man’s article is his statement that he does not know me because he does not belong to an “inner circle.” This com- ment, I assume, is another example of his pawning him- self as a champion of the underdog against deep and mysterious‘“inner circles.”

Well every Archie Bun- ker has to have his own shtick.Let me give you a hint Mr. Merriman, just dial the “inner circle” of your tele- phone and you will be able to

get to know how to run a’

college. That is very pre- sumptuous of you. My job is not to “run” the college, but

. torepresent the support staff

who work in it. I owe my allegiance to these people; the “tail” on the end of a dog, as you refer to us.

Let me tell you some- thing, Mr. Merriman. I am very proud of. my fellow union members and feel very privileged. to lead them to better wages, working conditions, and participations in their workplace and their community. That, as you call it, “fooling” is much highor than any big paycheque or the status of principal.

No, Mr. Merriman, I am not objective, nor am I highly educated and that is why I am effective. I do not spend all my time looking for all sides of a problem, nor finding excuses for not pick- ing a side.

My allegiance rests firmly with the working people and that is why. the custodians and secretaries have greater job security

than the high-paid adminis. ~

trators or highly-educated professors at Selkirk College. You have no idea how high that “feeling” is,

As for you, Mr. Merri- man, the tripe you -pedal as personal journalism should be more thought out. May I suggest that you first speak to those you wish to much in your “Qne Man’s Opinion.”

This suggestion may.not do wonders for golf in Castlegar, but I am sure it will do wonders for the saliva on your shoe.
