Tony Wilkinson’s speech Friday at Newton can only be
termed a success.

His proposed organizational structure and program
developement process were both well planned and
flexible.

He stated that one of the key elements to providing
decent education is to ‘‘produce and deliver a structure

that develops sound acedemic packages to meet societal
needs.’’

‘This system is student and client orientated. In the
future they are going to judge us far more harshly
because for the first time there are other alternatives
available to them,’’ he said.

Wilkinson likes to quotes figures and startling ones at
that. He told the faculty and staff members at the
crowded Newton campus lounge, that there is going to
be a huge demand in the future for retraining as
students move away from the 18-21 bracket.

He also quoted a figure from a national business
magazine that stated that by 1990 over 80 per cent of
all blue collar workers and 60 per cent of white collar
workers,. will have lost their present jobs.

Wilkinson went on to say that institutions have to face
the fact that 71 per cent of students that go to university
are part time.

Kwantlen College will benefit greatly from the
knowledge Wilkinson has obtained during his 23 years
as an administrator and faculty member back east at
Toronto’s Ryerson.

He seems to have a fair idea of where institutions are
going in the future and how to keep up with the
changing times.

If Wilkinson lives up to his reputation, then Kwantlen
College's first ever president is going to be successful

No sooner are we given Fair cards than we are treated
with bus strikes.

As if transit service wasn’t already shitty enough, now
we have to check to see which busses are running, in
which municipality.

Vancouver is a long way behind several major
Canadian cities when it comes to commuting people
throughout the city.

Take as an example, Montreal. Not only is there a
buss system but a subway that is capable of commuting
citizens with considerable speed and comfort.

Vancouver as the third largest city in Vancouver
should by now have an alternative form of transit other
than the slow and often crowded busses.

Vancouver will no doubt have to wait until Transpo ‘86
to get the LRT system that has been talked about for
years ,

In the meantime, prepare yourself for long waits,
crowded busses, late busses, strikes etc.

You don’t really think that tair service comes with a
$24 monthly pass do you?

Same story in Toronto. :
