(by Mori Hillman Education Minister Bill Vander Zalm believes that tough times may be good for you--at least for some of you. He was interviewed re- cently by a Province reporter who quoted Larry Kuehn, B.C. Teachers Federation president, as suggesting Vander Zalm ‘‘seems to have a primitive notion that suf- fering is good for everyone.”’ Would Mr. Vander Zalm care to comment? ““T never said that suffer- ing is good for someone,”’ Vander Zalm replied. But ‘someone who: has_ been through tough times may well be a stronger person for it in the end...” There seems to be a contradiction here. Vander Zalm denies saying ‘‘suffer- ing is good for someone.”’ Yet in the same paragraph he observes that ‘‘tough times may’’ make ‘‘strong- er’’ people. Supposedly it's good to be a ‘‘stronger person’. Therefore tough times (suffering?) ‘‘may’’ be \good for you. ANCE COMMITTEE. Fees in full. one (1) their fees in full(.

Credit Course at SINESS IN NEW WESTMINSTER, BY ~ But what of those for whom suffering is not so beneficial? Are they to be ignored--failures of a rest- raint-oriented education sys- tem? Seemingly they would be sacrificed as the system garnered ‘‘stronger’’ people. A comment made. this summer by an S.F.U. teach- ing assistant relates well to Vander Zalm‘s proposed ‘tough times’’. The teach- ing assistant was speaking of a prevalent attitude among those whom he taught. Coming often from ‘‘lower middle class homes,’’ often unable to rely on parents to financially support their schooling, and facing increa- sing unemployment even among university graduates, he felt these students often” saw that ‘‘the cards were stacked’ against them. This certainly created pres- sure. ; The point is, there is already pressure on the stu- dent, who contemplates an education, and the future. Why create more pressure?
