straight from the horse's mouth FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF SCHOL YOU SAY? FOR A MORE CONFORMIST SCHOOL I SAY! >Do you like to pay to go to school? >Is the school system appropriate? >Do you know that tuition in some country is free and in others they have no school at all? Anyway, today in Canada we have to pay and it shouldn’t be. Tomorrow, we have to pay more and that is disastrous. I don’t believe in recession. I believe in a combina- tion of mismanagement of funds (the Army, for example) and manipulation by big inter- national and national industries for control- ling the people and the money. News is filtered, and no decent political party has access to a decent platform in newspapers (Ex. Sun, Province). A lot of people are underpaid and few overpaid. A lot of SOLUTIONS to the growing pollution, destruction of resources, and raising of the cost of living exist now. Grow- ing hemp would be good as producing paper, cloth, food, and yes, as plaisure drug (it does good job before milleniums and during world wars, sic!) Vegetarian are right, the cost of feeding cattle is disastrous monatary and naturaly. A lot of energie less- pollutant/expensif/and dangerous than fossil fuel and nuclear energie exist now (The Sun, The Wind, The Sea). Did you know that Canada has laws pro nuclear and pollution? We are not USA but sometime worse. We are not a democratic nation. When Maurice wrote about a utopia which maybe will happen in my grandchil- dren time, I was shocked and angry. The way it’s going now, it will cost alot more! So the day before the Friday meeting, me and Jeremy decide to set a forum discussing about the causes of the fee raise and the solutions possible to stop and maybe lower the fee. The result was not too many people showed up and a lot less speak in the mikes. The day after, Maurice showed the projec- tion of the school for next year and why an increase. When asked to divulge the audit (details, expenses) of last year and of this year, his answer was that it is impossible to him (and anybody else, I presume) to get those because Mr. Brad is gone on sabatique for all this year. They think to banish some program, too. Which one? “They” don’t know. I heard in the grape wine that Film/Video is a good choice - (and that Design is protected by the God of Money. I don’t get it. Suppose the operating of the school is 8.9 million sa yeat and the gouvernement and other non-student funds pay 7.3 million of it. It mean s that students pay 1.6 milllion of it. Why not the gouvernement pay this extra 18 %? Why the school don’t re-open in the new building when the possibilty to make profit, bigger dsale and cheaper deal are there? They emmmploy students there, too. Why not cut operating costs in other ways than cutting programs ( like outreach for those too far away) and raising the fee fior student? It seem to me that they have a lot of possibility to run a cheaper and bvetter system of _ education with less money. Why don’t we have a child care and school incorproated into the art school yet? We would all benefit from it. Also, as Iam now, why not have a garden so we have more relation with the vegetable (esoteric), and better food (physic)? Between Grade 1 and 12 I don’t have to learn much more than how to write, to calcul, to Behave Well In This System and How to make Money That why I come to an art school: to explore the visual, myself, to learn what in my youth was restrain. Not to make Money! I better to finish my course in electro-technic but I don’t like that. This country can be an example to others and be a place of better learning and living, but to do so means to apply right now the obvious solutions: to express ourselves, to show the example, and to take the necessary way to eliminate this 500 and plus years old system of bad gestion, exploitation, and repression. I’m white. So what? My “dreams” change everyday, under- stand? “My” dreams are probably not the same as yours. I don’t believe in an ac- cepted “Free Trade” which mean YES to exploitation and pollution. ( Please listen to CFRO 102.7 FM, a true Co-Op Radio). What I believe in is the nightmare of revolting and stopping this, “our?” system. I’m scared but I and We have to stand against those old fascist laws who put so much people in silence, cage, and death: the jail. I propose that all social services and others rally on the same cause: a better planet, better un- derstanding of individu, and to put a politic, not a polishit system in place that will help to accomplish what is easily possible now -> Good food, good land, free and better “moral” education, to everybody, better knowledge of our surrounding, and cost of living reduced. All of these are not a dream and are realistic. It’s not time to be a fanatic, it’s time to be open and realist. People and the planet suffer. Wake up Benoit, it your mind talking to you again! Thanks to the newspaper crew, the Student Union, and others to try to stop tuition increase. see trie ES ol vraer BENWA straight from the horse's mouth FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF SCHOL YOU SAY?
