The proposal, given to the

The Other Press

This insert,writen by and
avout Kwantlen’ students,
was to cost Kwantlen 40%
helow the papers ad rate.
This would be $375. per
issue which would include
distrubution of the O.P.,
and circulation both at

wantlen and Douglas.

.‘How could you justify

giving Kwantlen students a-

better deal than Douglas
College students in selling
them a paper?’ asked Hall-
gate, ‘Douglas College stu-
dents would be subsidizing
Kwantlen students.I’d like
to have seen you guys try to
squeeze out of that one
come A.G.M. time’. he
added.

. Dave hayer business maan-
ager for the paper said that
it was purely a business
decision and that,although
Kwantlen would be getting
a good dial the Other Press
would also benifit by having
a wider circulation (result-
ing in a better ad rate).
-The $375 per issue would
also more than cover the
extra printing costs and give
both colleges a bigger, bet-

ter newspaper.

Press’s ‘nuts in ringer’

.The Kwantlen Multi Cam-
pus Council rejected the
O.P.qoffer because ‘we did-
n’t have faith in it.’Bob
Powell, Kwntlen Student
Society president said.
.They should have jumped
at the deal while they had
the chance,’ said Hallgate.
.Hunter will be making a
revised offer later this mon-
th, ‘We just want to help
them start up’ he says.
.‘the pinion (Kwantlen
College’s journalism schoo)
paper) is not a student rep-
resentative paper; it is justa
rag used for learning and is
not supposed to represent

the diverse, sometimes con-
troversial views of the stud-
ent body,’ he said.

.‘The Other Press proposal
is the cheapest way for
Kwantlen to startup a stud-
ent newspaper’, says Hunt-
er ‘once a staff has been
built up from people work-
ing on the insert, a paper
could be started immecdiat-
ly after Kwantlen students
have raised the sufficiant
a short term solution to
the, hopefully short term
problem of Kwantlen stud-
ents not having their own
student newspaper.‘ concl-

It has now been contract-
ed that both Douglas and
Kwantlen Colleges can use
each others district pools.
The idea was ratified at the
annual Multi Campus Coun-
cil Meeting on September
24, 1981.

The cost is to be paid for
by the college’s Student
Society fees. Douglas Colleg
Society fees. Douglas Coll-
ege pays $448 per month,
while Kwantlen will pay .
$150.per month as they use
the pool less.

The plan went into effect
on September, 1.

 

Douglas College Nurses
aren't satisfied with the way
they are being represented
at Campus meetings.

The nurses are registered
at Douglas but are receiving
training in Surrey. The 237
member Student Nurses
Association are unhappy be-
cause they are not properly
represented at their ‘home
campus’

In addition, the nurses
paid dual tuition for their
four courses and elective at
registration; they were re-
imburses for the elective.
The nurses were also char-
ged student fees for both
Douglas and Kwantlen
Colleges.

‘They’re not part of either
college. They’re in limbo,’
said Kevin Hallgate, pres-
ident of DCSC.

‘They feel ostracized,
firstly because they aren't
getting anything out of their
studentcards and secondly
by not being represented
properly,’ added Hallgate.

Ian Macdonald, Coquit-
lam Chairperson was not
convinced that they were a
‘special’ group.

A decision was made at
the last Multi-Campus
meeting that would allow
Kwantlen College’ student

 

cards tobe used for addmis-
(sion to College events.
