DG, Is this investi geen relevant after numerous problems? How do Douglas College students feel about this reincarnation of the APEC inquiry? Margaret Stodart, a technical writer and part- time student, said she tends towards a right-wing attitude, believing that, “there are more relevant news items for media to focus on. Given who the delegates were, and how they deal with ee in theif own countries, I artin: a tifeel that Chrétien "base. And if people working for him made a slight error of judgement in the heat of the moment, it doesn’t warrant this amount of hoopla and an ongoing investigation.” In contrast, Mark Smeets, an Associate Arts degree student, believes that the inquiry is still very relevant because “the fact of the matter is, someone, it may not have been Chrétien, gave an order to make sure those upepts on APEC students [didn’t] get near Suharto or [were] even seen by him.” He added, “the RCMP should have provided proper security if they really didn’t want to have any problems—and they failed there.” Dan Carnrite and Hamish Knox, both sec- ond-year Print Futures students, are in favour of resuming the inquiry. Carnrite said, “The investi- gation is as relevant now as it ever was. The evi- dence points to an almost certain abuse of political power at the highest level.” And Knox com- mented, “It is important to uncover the relevant facts in the case, to either clear or convict the office of the PM of any wrong-doing.” So, should Prime Minister Chrétien be called to testify at the inquiry? The overwhelming re- sponse from polled stu- dents was “Yes!” And Colleen Fraser added, “Yes. Entertainment! If Bill [Clinton] can do it, so can Jean.” Regarding the legal expenses of protestors being paid by the federal government, some stu- dents said “No” while others thought it was a good idea. Mark Smeets said, “Yes [they should be paid] but it will never happen.” And Dan Carnrite replied, “As a public inquiry I believe that all parties should have equal access to legal representa- tion.” University of Victoria student missing Darren Stewart, Martlet then. VICTORIA (CUP)—A stu- dent at the University of Victoria was still missing last week after more than two weeks in what police are describing as a suspi- cious case. Steven McLaughlin was reported missing on December 23 after he failed to show up at his parents’ house for the Christmas holidays. “Everything he has is here,” said officer Paul Morrison, of the Saanich division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. “We have to be suspicious. We can’t rule out suicide, his just taking a holiday or even foul play.” Search and rescue teams have combed the university area and the “This is strange for any case. I mean, where is he? We have nothing attached to this person to lean on,” said Morrison. A psychology profes- sor, who was the last person to see McLaughlin, says he was on campus that day looking into on- campus employment. McLaughlin held down several jobs at the univer- with all the people who knew McLaughlin through his various connections to the university, somebody will be able to give them a clue about what happened. The university's own security department would also like to get to the bottom of the case. “It’s primarily a police investigation,” said Ken Marrison, assistant director of campus security services. “But we're offer- ing any sort of assistance or information they need to find this gentleman.” Death, Deception, Delusion.
