OTTAWA [CUP]—The C
TV television network apo-
logized publically March 16
for airing a report on inter-
national students, on the
W5 program, that has been
called racist and_ inac-
curate.

The apology comes five
months after CTV broad-
cast the W5 report ‘‘The
Campus Giveaway’’, which

jalleged that foreign student

were taking the places of
Canadian students in uni-
versity programs.

The report also showed
film of students of Chinese
descent on campus while a
voiceover talked about
Canadian students being
denied access to certain
professional faculties. But a
viewing of the film footage
by members of the ad hoc
committee against W5
found that of all of those

 

(shown, only two people

were actually foreign stu-
dents and that the rest were
Chinese-Canadians.

Hospital food loses
out to Nalley’s

by Brenda Gough

Nutrition has lost the
race, and junk food
continues to win the hearts
and stomachs of New
Westminster students and
staff.

The arrangement with
Queen’s Park Hospital for
the offering of frozen
nutritional entrees through
Mel’s has been terminated
by Principal Bill Day, as a
result of consumer dissatis-
faction and poor sales.

Fran of _ Alta~ West
Services, stated that plastic

food service sales are
booming, while real food
sales are a bummer.
“Other methods and
means of improving the
food service at the college
are being looked at, and
hopefully they will have
something next ~ fall,’’
stated Kevin Hallgate, New
Westminster Chairman.
Bill Day has asked Barb
Bessy and Dave Neilson to

Les Brett will finish her
term as student society
president as the result of
the decision passed by the
Multi Campus Council at
last Monday night’s
meeting.

Accusations by Surrey
chairman, Rod Bergman,
which claimed that Brett
had been abusing her
position, were not conclu-
sive enough to sway the
council members towards
the impeachment of their
president.

NUS and AOSC
offer programs

by Rob Campbell

For those students _in-
terested in working abroad
the National Union of
Students (NUS) and _ its
affiliated service organiza-
tion, the Association of
tudent Councils (AOSC)
have developed several
work exchange programs.

The idea of the program
is to give students the
opportunity to participate
in a unique — cultural
experience by working in
temporary positions in
foreign countries.

The positions available
should be viewed as a way
cost of
travelling however, rather
than as a savings program
for the upcoming academic
year.

Jobs are -open_ to
Canadian students over age
18 and under 26. The
exceptions are the Irish and
Belgian programs where
they must be under age 31.

The types of jobs offered
vary, although in countries
such as Ireland, Britain and
New Zealand most posi-
tions are in the service
industries. . For example
waiters, waitresses, bar
maids, linen porters, recep-
tionists, chamber maids,
ground keepers are all
common positions offered.

Although NUS does not

guarantee positions they do’

guarantee that students
will be provided with
contacts and an_ interview
within five days _ of
presenting themselves to
the centre.

For those — interested

‘couver,

.tead that these were only

 

my job,’’ said Brett last
Friday when she was asked
about the accusations.

Vice president external,
Ted Lorenz, blamed the
predicament on a ‘‘com-
munication — breakdown’’
between the society mem-
bers.

Bergmann, who had
originally brought up the
charges at a council
meeting two weeks ago had
the choice, at last Mon-
day’s meeting, to either
drop all charges against
Brett or follow through.

Bursary

presented

A $150 bursary was
presented last Thursday,
March 27, to Gordon
Schwark, a Douglas College
student, by Yvonne Nelson,
the owner of _ Nel’s
enterprises.

Schwark is a second year
Commerce student who
hopes to obtain his
Bachelor of Commerce
degree after attending]
three more years at U.B.C.
The bursary will go towards
his tuition.

The bursary is the first
one offered by Nel’s, a
chain of college kitchens
operating on the Surrey,
New West and Winslow
campuses. Nelson would
like to see the bursary
become an annual event.

Oooops

In last week’s edition of
the Other Press (Volume
vill Issue X) the front page
article about the resigna-
tion/impeachment of stu-
dent society president Les
Brett erroneously reported
that Brett had abused her
powers and lied to another
society executive.

The story should have

allegations and that no
proof had been shown to

reinforce them. ]
