and yet doesn’t through mismanagement, lack of concensUs and apathy. Taken in a historical perspective the CFS can be seen to be at a low ebb after a long and sometimes glorious past as the National Union of Students and a loose association of provincial student organizations. It was hoped, at the founding conference of the CFS last spring, the new national organization would have greater success in supporting students rights across Canada while also providing students with better services. CFS Services seems to currently not know it’s ass from a hole in the ground although Canadian University Travel Service (CUTS), owned by CFS is a very successful and valuable outfit to students across Canada. CFS currently has several regional caucuses and conferences throughout the year as well as twice yearly national conferences. Three Other Press reporters covered the last national conference in Victoria last November. What they found was a chaotic, divided organization with an elitist power structure alienating half of those attending the conference. The conference ended with a number of major issues (such as a resolution supporting the clubbing of seal pups in New Foundland) not having been decided on and haunted with the possibility that this year will be a make-or-break one for CFS. Should be real interesting for the reporter willing to tackle this mess. Instructor: Yule Gibbons -120 EDUCATIONAL PLANNING AND POLICY COMMITTEE The current governing structure of the college theoretically provides for a wide base of inform- ation leading to good, well informed, democratic decisions at the top. The governance structure consists of a number of committees for A the various departments and constituancies in the | college. They bring their recommendations to the EPPCO committee which considers the recommendations and makes final recommendations to the College Board which effectively governs the college. Douglas College President Bill Day chairs the EPPCO Committee. Day also brings the recommendations, as he interpets them, to the college Board which is made up mostly of a bunch of government appointed lackies who generally play into the governments plans. As most of the recommendations of the EPPCO committees recommendations are just recommendations with no power to back those recommendations up, and since the College has no money to act on those recommendations it can be said that, for now, the Governance system is just a reduncant exercise in beuraucracy.

Both the provincial and federal governments have big changes in the works for education. Granted, the education system does need revamping, but the kinds of changes the government spelled out in its recent five year plan would dramatically reduce accessability to et ey eal in this province, through drastically reducing the funding of academics and by destroying the idea or TH E OTH ER “community colleges’, in favor of ‘‘Regionalizing’’ the colleges. That is having say, Capilano College as strictly an arts college, and Douglas College as basically a technical institute. The first step in the governments plans is taking place right now, with the reduction in power of the local governing boards in favor of an expensive, slower, less responsive power structure centralized in Victoria. An unexpected benifit of the recent ecconomic decline is that the government have not yet ‘centralized. So, for now, the government has to be content with raising tuition fees to the point where they become a detering factor for anyone wanting ‘to change themselves in a changing world.
