Well if you-do, you must love the Socred Government. They’ve been laying it on thicker and faster, more and more each week. As a student, do you feel you’re entitled to a little respect? Bill Bennett doesn’t see it that way. After four years of ducking out the back door, he finally agreed to a private meeting with some students in his constituency, to set up a public meeting. When the students turned up-to this ‘‘private meeting’, they found two of Bennett’s top hatchetmen, armed with charts, graphs, and statistics, there to discuss post-secondary educaton with them. -Bill had thoughtfully invited along the newspeople to broadcast live, as it happened, the lively spectacle of top level professional bureaucrats humiliating a handfull of shocked, unprepared students. Bennett claimed post-secondary education hadn’t suffer- ed under the Socreds, that accessability has actually improved. | guess he isn’t much in touch with his caucus, though. Terry Segarty, the new Youth Minister, has just set up a 12 person committee representing youth from across the province. The CFS was refused representation on that committee. ‘\ youth... because there are areas (of young people)... who can’t afford to attend University.”’ Really? We’ve been saying that all along.
