ith I, On the possibility of a faculty
strike:
Bill Day, Bill Day "| don't think the faculty intention-

ally want to hurt us (the students), but
it seems like nothing's changed - all
through high school it was 'work to
rule.’ Now, my whole semester is in
jeopardy. Being from out-of-town, |
No one will teach could lose a lot of money. I'm tired of
at the College it
If you won't pay
for knowledge

Give us your answer do
We're half crazy
waiting to hear

from you!

Donna Trach and Carolyn Wust

But life’s a beach
when teachers won't teach
without a contract

signed by you! "Didn't the instructors take a pay

cut a few years ago, and then the col-
lege ended up with a $1.2 million
profit? That's not fair.”

"Wages areenot the main thing, Graham Esplen

wages are just a part of it - the right
of full-time faculty to be involved in
the selection procedure, the open-
ness of the college, the quality of
education - that is what is at stake."

Jim Davies, Philosophy Profes-
sor

"The students must support the
‘aculty in the event of a strike. Itis the
ast bargaining tool which the faculty
as. The only reason a strike will fail
s if the students do not support it.”

"We will not support a strike but
we do support the DKFA in negotia-
tions. | think the rally and the sit-in (of
Thursday, February 18) were suc-
cessful, for we increased student
awareness. In the beginning, we
held an open forum. We invited both
faculty and administration - only the
faculty participated.

A huge problem has been that
(College:President) Bill Day has not
made himself accessible to the stu-
dents: he didn’t show up at the forum
and he hasn't provided the students
with enough information to let us
know what the administration is
doing."

It's Your Money

(among other things)

Scott nelson has recommended a
$5000.00 donation be given to the
Douglas College Foundation. The
Student Society is presently negotiat-
ing to get student representatives on
the board.Last year the DCSS gave
$60,000.00 and was matched by the
Vancouver Foundation, creating a
$120,000.00 endowment fund.The
Society has given the Foundation
$2500.00 this year and has been with-
holding the balance as there is no
constitutional guarantee of student
representation on the Foundation’s
board. Anena Johnston says, "It’s the
wrong time to be making a donation."

The CFS ( Canadian Federation
of Students) acts as a lobby both
provincially and federally and offers
student services such as Travel Cuts,
Student Saver Discounts, and SWAP ©
( students working abroad
program).The pullout motion was in-
itiated approximately two years ago
and is no longer valid. In order to
strenghthen our national student
body, we should get involved.

At a ski club dance there was
$580.00 damage which the security
guards reported was not due to any
club members, The question has been
raised as to whether the DCSS should
be held responsible and if so, only for
functions on the campus grounds or
also for trips abroad.

The first copy of the new draft of
the DCSS constitution will be
presented.
