Welcome back to all you second year students and a huge welcome to the first year students. Before we get serious, I will introduce myself, I'm Theresa Newlove, President of the Capilano College Student Society. The present executive of your Student Society have numerous and varied concerns. From five cent photocopiers and free telephones to maintaining the high standard of education, financial aid, tuition fees, on campus jobs, transit fares and the peace movement Remember you elect us. We make decisions that reflect your concerns and the quality of the time you spend here at Cap . . Two of our main priorities for the 86/8 7 year are accessibility and awareness. These two issues are the foundation for a productive society. Our concerns are yours. We want you to become aware that our role is to represent your views and issues. To make this possible communication and interaction between yourself and your elected representatives is vital; which brings us to accessibility. Walk in to the C.C.S.S. office, say hi, tell us about your concerns, offer a suggestion, some criticism and if you can find it in your heart, a compliment. You elected us to listen. Various committees have been set up by the C.C.S.S. to encourage your involvement and participation in running the society. The committees will enable students to become involved in planning strategies, organizing and coordinating groups of students to work on related issues that affect campus life. On the lighter side, all work and no play makes Jackie a dull girl! So come on out and enjoy the various clubs offered on campus. Stop and take a look around you. The combination of natural surroundings, informal atmosphere and academic excellence makes Cap the place to be for your studies. It is now your College, you'll be spending alot of time up here so get involved and make the best of it. · On behalf of the entire executive we welcome you again and wish you scholastic success for the upcoming year. J s 4 photocopier Cap College: a Short Story 5¢ per copy ( enlargements & reductions ) at the Student Society Offic.e Getting a college for the North Shore involved many local people and long organizational relationships with our provincial politicians. Amidst the air of liberalism that swept across the country in the 60's there was a will to make post secondary education accessible to more than daughters and sons of wealthy parents, to make education accessible to older people outside the traditional18 to 24 year old college group and to reach small communities. The idea was to democratize education. So residents, educators, politicians and business people all got together and proposed a community college to be built in North Vancouver. Victoria said no. Twice. However a booming economy allowed other educational institutes to be built so the community residents organized. Pressure was once again put on Victoria, lessons in politics were learned all around and the college was founded. Districts 44, 45 and 48 (North and West Vancouver, and Howe Sound) passed a referendum to fund the institution and it was opened in 1968. Capilano College had no building, no books and only one faculty member (who is still teaching at the college). Classes were held after school hours in West Van High. The first fall the college expected maybe 444 students. 726 enrolled that fall. Capilano College was a success. For the first few years the college operated on a haphazard basis in a portable building in the back ofWest Van High and classes in five or six different locations across the North Shore. Students had to bus from class to class in an eternal frantic rush all over North and West Van. But those crazy factors about Cap -the do it yourselfness of the place and the small size- created a spirit of unity and camaraderie that has largely been lost now. Warehouse facilities were used on Welch Street for a while, but the big move came in 197 3 when the college opened the Lynnmour Campus. The faculty organized itself into the 'Capilano College Faculty Association in 1973'. Fortunately for students at Cap the original faculty were hired by a dean who selected strong minded individuals not willing to buckle to administrative maneuvers. In 197 4 the support staff followed the faculty and organized a union. From 1968 to 1974 the staff approached and negotiated with the administration through an uncertified organization. In 19 74 they were receiving wages very much lower than equivalent jobs outside the college. Some members turned to the Association of University and College Employees (AUCE) local 1 (UBC) and asked for assistance in organizing a union here at Cap. A short time later, over 90 per cent of the staff voted to unionize into AUCE local 4 (Capilano College). Through their first two contracts our staff moved into the position of the highest paid workers for jobs of their catagories in the province. Three contracts later saw the average wage drop below the inflation rate, and lost 21 per cent of their wages. In 1981 AUCE local4 negotiated a new three year contract. They left AUCE and formed their own union, the College Employee's Union (CEU). This is Capilano College's eighteenth year. Its history has been positive for many people, from those who walked door to door and lobbied Victoria, to present and former students and employees. Today, the college is threatened by cuts to funding grants from the federal and provincial governments. It is more and more difficult to obtain funding for courses, particularly academic, than it was in the late sixties and early seventies. As a result, the original intent of the college -to serve the community as a whole in a wide range of studies- is being threatened. A general trend in education funding is taking money away from most academic studies both at community colleges and universities. As a result you will find yourself among other students, faculty and staff who are organizing political actions to ensure the future of Capilano College. More walking door to door will certainly be necessary to convince the government of the value of our community college. 7 6 Genesis of Community Colleges Macleod Geotechnical Ltd. 1451 Marine Drive, West Vancouver 922-9422 Phillips Barratt Kaiser Engineering Limited 2150 West Broadway, Vancouver 736-5421 Compliments of . ..

Payment can be made by peace trusters under protest This is ·achieved by writing a letter to the Minister of Revenue to the effect that payment is being made under protest and sending a cheque for the amount to the Taxation Data Centre, of which there is written on both sides of the cheque "paid under protest''. 5.

Petro-Canada · Dealers and Agents. 11"11 PETROCANADA The college board is one of the most imponant decision-making bodies at Capilano College. It is responsible for approving the college budget, setting tuition fees and deciding where cuts in services are to be made. Unlike school boards, which are democratically elected, college board members are appointed by the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education, and according to the Minister's assistant there are no guidelines for the positions. People send in their resumes, and the Minister selects the "best'' candidates. Given the background of many board members, the position is essentially a patronage appointment. For example Hope Wotherspoon sits on the Vancouver Community College Board and is president of the Social Credit Party. The college board provides a buffer between the college and the government Ideally, boards should be concerned about the quality and accessibility of post-secondary education and present real oppostion to budget cuts. But board members can be dismissed at any time by the Minister. As a result they have offered only token resistance to the drastic Committees There are several committees that make recommendations to the college board through the principal. These committees are comprised of two administrative, two faculty, two staff, and two student representatives, and each member has a vote. The committees are listed below. 1. Health and Safety is the committee that advises the college on health services for students and employees, hazardous and unsafe conditions, maintenance of a safe working environment, and compliance with health and safety regulations. 2. Food Services deals with anything to do with the food served on campus, and the environment of the eating areas. 3. Physical Planning is responsible for the development of facilities, like our new gym, internal building changes, site changes, and like paths and parking. 4. Canadian Studies is the committee which deals with animation, facilitation, and implementation of projects dealing with Canadian Studies. 5. Advertising is the committee that deals with public relations and promotion of the college. 6. Grade Appeals deals with student grade appeals. This is the last step in a student's quest for a grade appeal. And the committee's decision is final. 7. Capitano College Foundation is an independent volunteer committee organisation, established under the Societies Act, to encourage community interest in the college, raise and administer donations, which are primarily to aid worthy students who need financial assistance. 8. Instructional Board deals with course proposals and content, credit and non-credit standing, timetables, exam week, grading, entrance requirements, placement exams, calendar, lab fees, course challenges, exemptions, and other related items. In addition to the usual six representatives, this committee has all the division co-ordinators deans, two community education representatives, the Programme Developer of Woman's Studies, the Director of the Achievement Resource Centre, and the head librarian.

"The college sees it as important that an alumni organisation of some sort be formed as soon as possible, " said Alan Smith, Director of Planning. The first step was taken this past summer. The College hired three students, through the Challange '86 programme, to update the addresses of Cap graduates, from the first class, backin 1968, totheclassof1986. The researchers also ascertained graduate interest in supporting the organisation, and! or actively working for it. Graduate interest was high; close to Student Affairs 3,000 of our alumni were contacted. The Administration's next step is to hold a meeting with the graduates who expressed a strong interest in working for the association, from which an interim Executive is hoped to be chosen, to execute the next step-forming the Capilano College Alumni Associaton.

This r~presents a 24096 increase since 1981 (see graph 3). This dramatic increase serves to justify tuition fees as people are now debating, "What is an acceptable tuition fee?", rather than, "Are tuition fees acceptable?" So all Canadians have an equal opportunity in life, we have always been guaranteed free education-up to the grade 12 level. Times have changed, and now acquiring a postsecondary degree or diploma is as vital to obtaining employment today as getting a high school diploma was 15 years ago. So why have tuition fees not only remained, but increased? The reason is under-funding. Since the 1970's the Social Credit government has continued to cut post-secondary funding to the point where they are now even diverting part of the Federal contribution to areas other than ducation. To make up the shortfall colleges have been forced to triple tuition fees. Despite these increases, tuition fees provide only 10 to 1596 of the college's operating budget Some people feel we are getting a good deal as long as we are not footing 10096 of the bill. But this is a naive attitude. . Tuition fees · a~e the most visible and inimt:diate ·financial barrier to obtaining ' a post-secondary education. ·Their continued existance, coupled with woefully inadequate student aid programs and high youth unemployment, is once again making colleges and universities accessible to all but a wealthy few. The economic reality of the 1980's is that if B.C. is to compete in world markets we will need a more, rather than less, educated population. Other governments such as Australia, Britain, and Sweden have been astute enough to realise this and have abolished tuition fees. In Quebec there has been a tuition freeze since 1972 and it is currently cheaper to attend McGill University than Capilano. Socio-economic Barriers Ideally, obtaining a post-secondary education should be contingent upon only personal abilities and effort Unfortunately your parents' occupation and income also play a major role. In 1971 the B.C. Enrollment Forecasting Committee found that, of the grade 12 students whose fathers were university graduates, 5696 attended a post-secondary institution. Ot the grade 12 students whose fathers had less than a grade 8 education only 1696 attended a post-secondary institution. In other words, the children of professionals are three times as likely to attend a college or university as the children of miners, loggers, and farmers. Parental income plays an even greater role. A student from an upperclass background is four times as likely to obtain a degree as one from a working class background. Despite the rhetoric concerning equality, the educational disparity between working class and upperclass has diminished little, if at all. As long as financial barriers such , as tuition fees and inadequate student aid programs remain, our "public" post-secondary education will remain accessible to only a privileged few. Regional Barriers Geography is itself a major barrier to post-secondary education in this province. This is because all the universities, vocational institutes, and a majority of the colleges are located in either the greater Vancouver or Victoria area. The cost of obtaining a diploma or degree is dramatically lowered if you continued on page 24 25 24 Financial Assistance Barriers Gender Barriers Since the end of World War Two there has been a steady increase in the participation of women in postsecondary institutions. Prior to the 1940's only 20% of post-secondary students were female. By the 1970's female post-secondary enrollment was growing more rapidly than male. Today the majority of women attending college or university are from an upper or middle class background. Despite their increased participation rates, women are still being channeled into traditional female occupations such as nursing, teaching, and clerical work. In B.C. there has been a notable increase in the number of women enrolling in commerce programs. Culturally learned gender differences, such as "fear of success" and the attitude of the family also provide barriers to women. It has been doc- umented that if a family is suffering financially, they will be more inclined to withdraw financial support from a daughter than a son attending a post-secondary institution. Women are also at a disadvantage when it comes to financing their education. A woman, on average, makes less than a man at her summer job, and when her schooling is completed she will be earning less. This will make it harder fdr her to repay her student loan. As a result of financial or domestic demands, many women are studying part-time. Universities and colleges with their inflexible time tables and inadequate daycare facilities are often insensitive to female part-time students' needs. A 197 5 report found that only 29% of 52 Canadian Universities surveyed had any daycare program. Even when daycare is available it is not always affordable. The maximum provincial allowance for daycare is $220 per month an.d has remained at this level since 1981. But the estimated average cost of daycare in Vancouver is at least $300 a month. Furthermore the government determines how much daycare time is required on the basis of students class time, making no allowance for studying. Finally post-secondary institutions have a severe shortage of role models for women. In 1981 only 36.8% of community college instructors and 15.6% of university faculty were women. Until there are affordable daycare facilities and dramatic changes in the attitudes of employers, women will remain at a disadvantage when it comes to securing a post-secondary education and a career. continued from page 23 are able to live at home with your parents. For rural students this is not an option, and they must spend upwards of $400 a month on food and accommodation. In 197 7 a provincial government Ad Hoc Committee on Accessibility discovered that in North and West Vancouver 30% of students finishing grade 12 later attended a university or college. In the Prince Rupert/ Dawson Creek area only I 0% went on to attend a college or university. Tnus, a student graduating from North or West Vancouver is three times as likely to enter a post-secondary institution as one froin northern B.C. With the emergence ofcommunity colleges in the mid 60's, new hope was given to those in B.C. outside of the lower mainland needing access to post-secondary education. Now, that hope is replaced only by despair as the Socreds close their colleges and slash the budgets of those remaining. Students played a big role in pressuring the government for a community college system and we must play an equally big role in defending what we now have.

The province has no such plan, so the interest on the provincial portion of your loan will continue to add up. Education Issues Committee The Education Issues Committee is responsible for monitoring and dealing with issues affecting the quality and accessibility of our education. This committee has co-ordinated numerous events protesting education cutbacks including a demonstration at Robson Square with our fellow Lower Mainland Students' Unions on April! st, 1986. The work done by people on this committtee General Paint was mstrumental in getting the provincial government to implement the Loan Remission Program. Although not the return to educational grants for which we have been pushing, it is a small victory for student activism. This is an excellent committee to get involved with if you are concerned about the state of our education system and enjoy working with others on issues affecting us as students. 950 Raymur A ve. , Vancouver 253-3131 Thunderbird Marine Corp. 5776 Marine Drive, West Vancouver 921-7434 ¥ Sausage and ham delicacies [rom FREYBE are a:.ailable al beller [ood Slores lhroughoul Weslern Canada Versatile Pacific Shipyards Inc.

Nationally, in conjunction with committees at other Canadian Federation of Students locals, the committee will focus on the issue of postsecondary education funding. This year's national campaign attacks the problems of incidental fees, tuition fees, transfer payment cuts, student unemployment, differential fees for foreign students, the lack of student grants, and other issues that are tie~ to post-secondary funding. Provincially a "Task Force on Student Assistance in British Columbia" is being set up to investigate the myriad of problems affiicting our provincial student assistance program. This task force will conduct a series of hearings at colleges and universities across the province. When this Task Force reaches Cap, the Student Issues Action Committee will be responsible for organizing the local hearings and producing a local report. Once the task force has finished its tour and compiled a report, it will be able to present an accurate assessment of our provincial student assistance program to the public, and if it is successful, it could very well result in the return of student grants to British Columbia. Locally the committee will be focussing on two campaigns. One will be dealing with transit fares and the other with the, widely predicted, upcoming provincial election.

For example, loans are finally available for part-time students and there has been a return to more reasonable student aid criteria. Despite this, our province has one of the least accessible post-secondary education systems in the country. It has been estimated that if B.C. had the same proportion of its youth attending college or university as do other provinces, over 24,000 more students would be in the system. Last year I 796 of 18 to 24 year olds attended a post-secondary institution as opposed to 24.396 in Canada as a whole. Community colleges were originally set up in order to make higher education accessible to us all. However the tripling of tuition fees, the abolishment of provincial grants, the closure of David Thompson University Centre, and youth unemploycontinued on Bank during YOUR hours anytime, day or night at any conveniently placed machine.

Finally, the college can not even afford to replace worn out or obsolete equipment. All this impairs our ability to learn. To add insult to injury, not only are we receiving a second-rate education, we must now pay three times as much for it as in 1981 (see tuition fees). Unless there is a change in government priorities, we will be expected to go on paying more for less for the foreseeable future.

Cards without credit entitlement available to all ages. ment rates of 2596 have all had a detrimental impact on accessibility. In short, our province's colleges and universities have become too expensive for most British Columbians, and the reason for this is underfunding. Quality of Education Safeguarding the quality of our education is another area the Student Issues Action Committee is active in. Like accessibility, the quality of our education has suffered as a result of government under-funding.. "Quality'' is not somethmg that can be quantified. But quality is what determines the reputation of our colieges and universities and the v~­ ue of our diplomas and degrees With employers. We are receiving an inferior education to what was available five years ago in British Columbia As a result graduates from B.C. are finding it harder to compete for jobs with students from other provinces. U.B.C., in an attempt to regain some of its international credibility, is limiting the number of university transfer students it will accept from community colleges. The lack of up to date literature and equipment also threatens to choke off research grants which are the lifeblood of universities. Another major task of the Student Issues Action Committee, and the Capilano College Student Society in general, is ensuring that the concerns of students are heard by the government. This has been' accomplished by working with other student unions in the Canadian Federation of Students. As Federation members we have had an opportunity to meet with elected officials and present briefs to various government committees. In 1985 we were given a seat at the Prime Minister's economic summit and we were one of three groups invited to make presentations to the Eric Nielson taskforce on government waste and mismanagement. We are also in regular contact with the Secretary of State, the Minister of Employm~nt and Immigration, the Minister of State Responsible for Youth, opposition critics, and various Ministers of Parliament. Provincially we have met with the Premier and various ministers, including the minister of post-secondary education, as well as opposition critics and MLAs. Finally, there are Federation representatives on the provincial youth advisory council and the student assistance appeals committee. Despite this, students still have relatively little input into decisions that directly affect us. One reason .is that all college, and a majority of university, board members are appointed by the provincial government and are not accountable to students or the public (see College Relations Committee). Another rea- , son is that post-secondary students have traditionally been one of the easiest groups for gove~ments. t? attack without fear of repnsal. Th1s IS because studying dominates much of our time and most of us are only at college or university for a few years. This is slowly changing a.S an increasVIg number of studen~ organizati<:ms are joining the Canadian Federation of Students. Also, locally, more students are taking the time to vote and become more active in their student union through committees such as the Student Issues Action Committee.

Among many other issues, British Columbians will have to decide whether or not they want a high-quality and accessible post-secondary system. This election will be different from others, not only because there will be several new faces, but because we will be able to witness first hand the effects the provincial government's changes to the electoral boundaries will have. In I979 Eckhant, an unsuccessful Sacred Ml.A candidate, was commissioned to review the provincial electoral boundaries. The repons recommendations wiped out three NDP seats and made several interesting boundary changes including the infamous "Gracie's finger." In I984 another electoral commission was established. It could not change boundaries but, by utilizing a rather complicated and highly suspect formula, could determine which Tidings would have two Ml.A's. There are I2 double seat Tidings, II of them in Sacred strongholds. The formula's bias becomes readily apparent when comparing two Tidings: Central Fraser Valley and' Coquitlam/Moody. The population of these two Tidings are 65,353 and 64,7 57 respectively. The commission reviewed these two Tidings and determined that Central Fraser Valley, a Socred riding, will now elect two Ml.As while Coquitlam Moody, a New Democratic riding, will elect only one. It has been estimated that the Social Credit Party could form the next government even if the ND P won 53% of the popular vote. In addition to gerrymandering, the Socreds have also wiped Qut the old voter registration list. There are currently half a million eligible voters who are not registered. In addition .Briti~h Columbia is the only proVInce m Canada which has not lowered the provincial voting age to I8. The fixing of ridings, the removal ~f dissident school boards, the crea- non of government controlled college b~ards (See College Relations Commmee), and the shutting down of student associations such as the one at King Edward Campus, indicate that democracy is under attack in this province. As an eligible voter, it is your responsibility to ensure that you are registered to vote in the upcoming election. Also, as a member of the Capilano College Student Society, you have an opportunity to become active in the Student Issues Action Committee. This year the committee will be lobbying for a lower provincial voting age and the creation of an independent electoral commission that would re-establish fair electoral boundaries in this province. CPS's Fare Fight Unfonunately the maximum monthly allowance for transportation under the B.C. Student Assistance Program is only $40. Thus the choice for many students has become, "Should I buy groceries this week or get a bus pass for next month?" The Transit Commission then waited till summer before slapping a larger transit tax on us. Instead of paying $3.20 per month, we must now come up with SI 0.60. The tax is included in your hydro bill and, as long as you do not mind studying in the dark or doing without heat for the summer, you do not have to pay it Transit Fares Last April transit fares were dramatically increased in order to pay for our squeaky new ALRT system. The one zone fare went from $I. 00 to $1.I5, the two zone' from $1.35 to $I .55, and the three zone from $I. 75 to $2.20. Similarity, the monthly farecards went from $40 to $46 for one zone, $54 to $62 for two zones and $70 to $88 for three zones: The transit tax is the same for every- one, regardless of ability to pay. So everyone, from a starving student to .Jimmy Pattison, pays the same amount The Student Issues Action Committee will be campaigning for the return of a concessionary fare for post-secondary students, which was lost in a I982 fare hike. Currently concession fares are available only to elementary and highsc.hool students, as well as senior citizens.

The Skytrain was not even designed with the student in mind. Except for Douglas College, the Skytrain does not have a good connection to travel to this campus. With the lack of good connections with Skytrain, the transit hikes and the cuts in service, transit is becoming less accessible and less affordable for students. These transit hikes have not only hit students, but also other groups unable to afford the fares and the levy. So the Federation has now forces with these other groups such as the senior citizens, the unemployed and those on welfare. The campaign is to have the provincial government renegotiate the funding formula for transit, so that government puts more money into transit rather than raising fares and imposing levies. Unless something is done, the fares and levies will increase again next year and again the following year. Transit will become less affordable and accessible. We must join forces and get involved.

Not to worry though, even if you don't have a summer job that pays $2,000 a month, you can still afford to go to school in the fall. The federal and provincial governments, in an unsurpassed fit of cooperation have established a program whereby you can borrow some of your parents' tax dollars in order to get an education. The only catch is that now you'll have to pay it all back after you complete your studies. A word of caution, the amount you have to repay in order to clear your debt could come as quite a surprise if you're not familiar with loans and mterest rates. For example, if you borro~ $10,000 to complete your educauon, the maximum time you would be allowed to repay the loan would be 114 months after termination of studies. If you choose to take the maximum time, at today's interest rates the payments would be $148.84 a month for 9 and a half years. The total interest charged would be an incredible $6,967.66, and that's assuming that interest rates stay where they are. If you choose to borrow more, the government has raised the limit to $52,000 (perhaps so students will be forever grateful to the government) you could conceivably still be paying off your student loan when your children are applying for theirs. But don't let that discourage you, if you want to go to school you are more than likely going to have to participate in the student loan programwhatever the future consequences might be. As tar as the nuts and bolts of obtaining a student loan go, the first place you should visit is the Financial ~id office on campus. It's pretty simple fo find. Just wander into the "M" building, and you can't miss it The office is the point of contact for anything to do with student loans. Connie Gibbs, the financial aid counsellor on campus, will be more than happy to help you with any problems of the financial variety that you might have. The deadline for applications for student loans is ten weeks before the end of the spring term if you are applying for a loan over two semesters. Using the advanced computer facilities on campus the exact date has been pinpointed as February 20. Once you've got your application, ~e fun really begins.

There is one final thing you should know about your student loan: if, after your schooling is over, there's absolutely no way you can begin making payments or continue to make payments on your loan, and you meet certain eligibility requirements, you can apply for the interest relief program. Under this program successful applicants can be exempted from loan payments for a period of three or six months (a form for reapplication is included with the notice of acceptance to be used if your situation has not changed significantly since the original application was filed) and no additional interest will be charged on the principal during this period. 33 32 Creative Financing Student loans are not the only method of increasing your financial stature to the point where you can afford to continue your education. There are also scholarships and bursaries available in varying amounts. The financial aid department has been working away busily over the summer to put together an updated guide to all the sources of financial aid available at Cap. This guide will provide you with a complete listing of scholarships and bursaries and how to apply for them. The deadline for application for bursaries is October 31 for the fall semester, and January 31 for the spring semester. For those of you who have exhausted all possible sources mentioned so far there is one final method of acquiring the funds necessary for your education. When the situation looks as bleak as it possibly can, you can always return to the nest and put the touch on mom and dad. There are three things to consider when applying for the mom and pop student loan program: availability, eligibility, and application procedures. Let us first consider availability. The parents in question must have funds available for your temporary use. There is no need to go to any great expense to determine this. Private detectives are definitely out. You have probably known your parents for at least the better part ofat least 17 years, and if you're still not sure of your financial standing there are a few things you can look for. Expensive cars are a sure sign that there will be cash available. Paintings by well known artists and crystal chandeliers are dead giveaways. Once you have ascertained the availability of funds you must determine your eligibility. To detemine eligibility follow this simple procedure. Walk up to the people who you believe are your parents (also known you in your application. Sit down with the parent in question and begin your application. Stan off with something like this, "dad/mom, I'd like to talk to you about my future". Parents are always impressed when you tell them that you have been thinking farther into the future than next weekend. After a little bit of flattery you can spring the question. Be forward. Come right out and say" mom/ dad, can I borrow $x,xxx so I can go to school next year?" After you have broached the subject allow a weeks time for the idea to percolate. Bring the subject up again and hopefully you will find that your application has been accepted. If you are unsuccessful in your last d itch attempts to garner financial assistance you can console yourself with the fact that you are young and alive, and besides which, in the immortal words of an anonymous Vancouver Canuck fan of the past, "there's always next year".

Any attempts at physical violence, i.e. : strangulation, dismemberment, ot any type of physical attack, is a good indication that you are not eligible for a loan. If you believe you are eligible for a loan, then it is time to make your application. Timing is of the utmost importance when making this type of application. Weekends near the beginning of the month are usually the best. That way there is usually plenty of money in the coffers, payday having just passed, and people are always in a better mood on the weekends.

Central America: An Overview Student Development Centre The Capilano College Student Society not only addresses issues affecting Capilano students but those affecting students of the international community as well. T he list of injustices in Central America is intimidating in its length. What we as students should consider are the issues attecting students in these countries. One organization your student society will be working with in this context is AGEUS, the General Association of Salvadorean University Students. The issues affecting Salvadorean students go beyond mere funding difficulties to destruction of their schools, imprisonment and assassination. By developing sister/brother school relationships with Salvadorean colleges and lines of communication with imprisoned students the C.C.S.S. will offer support to AGEUS. Capilano College students can become involved with these organizations through the Educational Issues or Social Issues Committees. For further information drop by the society office or contact the V.
