January 18th 1983 The Other Press by Vic Cromarty. By the time you read this, there will likely have been more than one thousand dol- lars damage done to the park- ing lot here at Douglas Col- lege. Not to the cars but to the parking lot itself. West Graydon, Director of the Physical Plant and Serv- ices at Douglas, and Gulu Bandali, District Supervisor for Imperial Parking, have both stressed the fact that anyone responsible for these boneheaded acts will be pros- ecuted as far as the law al- OTTAWA (CUP) Students will no longer be able to take ad- vantage of discounts on one way air travel. ‘A new regulation recently approved by the Canadian Transport Commission has ab- olished these discounts offer- ed by airlines, such as CP Air Skybus. Deep discounts will only apply to round-trip travel. Two major airlines, Air Ca- nada and CP Air, have added another stipulation- deep dis- count return tickets sold after Dec. 15 are good for only 60 days. This will make it doubly hard on students planning to pay cheaper airfares. It will be especially hard for those over 21, who are no longer eligible for youth standby. They will have to return to Ottawa with- in 60 days of departure or pay full fare. A full-fare return ticket to Calgary or Edmonton from Ot- tawa is $642, but a deep- discount return ticket to the same place costs $337. For Ken Crombie, a 22-year old arts student, the new air- fare situation will put a damp- er on his plans to return home to Calgary to work for the summer. “TH still go but my profit margin will be considerably ‘reduced,‘‘ he said. ‘‘There’s never a break for students tra- velling. For most of us it’s a matter of surviving (financ- ially) or seeing our families.”’ Rene Syrenne, passenger sales manager of CP Air, says the airline chose the 60 day maximum for discounts be- cause it best suited the maj- ority of passengers using the service. Syrenne said the student market is important but it f ‘makes up a very small per- lows. This assumes that they catch someone. With the beef- ed up security and more care- ful checks being made of the lot at night, it should only be a matter of time. The actual area of concern is the automatic arms that res- train exit from the lot. Some people like to avoid paying for arking, or just get their kicks en breaking them. To date about a dozen of these arms have had to be replaced, along with about fare available to students, we would have to make one avail- able to businessmen, or cler- gy, or farmers,”’ he said. ‘‘It would get ridiculous.”’ A spokesperson for the com- mission says the new regulat- ions were introduced in the best interest of the public. Greg Danylchenko of the Tar- iffs and Services Division said deep discount sales had to be curtailed before the airlines decided to raise prices across the board and get rid of the discounts altogether. He agreed the situation for the students doesn’t look good, but said there is nothing the commission can do bec- ause the airlines set their own prices and requirements.

In the meantime, they would like to stress that they will be on the lookout for not only van- dals, but for people who don’t park where they are supposed to.

Moore Wants More by Glen Nazaruk “The college is undemocr- atic’’, says Richard Moore, the student representative on the college Educational Plan- ning and Policy Committee. “In theory the governance system is democratic, but in ractice it is not.

The removal of the women’s program at the college is an example which Moore feels may be especially damaging. Moore is having considerab- le difficulty enrolling in the college this semester due to some tuition fees from last semester which are still in ar- rears. During registration last semester, Moore had his stu- dent fees delayed until he co- uld take part in the work study rogram offered through the financial aid department of the college. Due to alterations in the criteria for eligibility for the work study program, stu- dents must now apply for a Canadian Student loan to be » eligible for admittance to the program. Moore is unable to apply for a Canada student loan due to a conflict which occured while he was a stu- dent at S.F.U. Richard was enrolled in the teachers train- ing program and accepted a grant from the Ministry of Ed- ucation which was to be used by him to continue his studies, never the fess Richard sub- sequently withdrew from the course and refused to pay back a portion of the grant which ‘was due to be refunded to the Ministry. This renders Rich- ard unable to apply for future Canadian Student loans and unable to be accepted into the work study program. This me- ans that if Moore is to enroll in Douglas this semester he must repay last semesters fees. The next EPPCO meeting is Jan. 28 and if he is not enrolled by then the position which he he- Id on the committee will be open for nominations from the student body.
