Northwest Community College increased the number of second- year science course offerings when the college board passed the new budget for 1993-94 last month. But maintaining and increasing the course offerings came at a price. The board decided to close the Terrace campus cafeleria for the summer months — it will now be open only nine months of the year —- and cut one full-time staff member. They also chopped one library position here and reduced adminis- trative staff from 19 posilions 1017.5. Bursar Patrick Rife said there weren't enough students in the sum- mer to justify operating the cafeteria. The $14 million budget was passed at the college board’s April 17 mecting. What's in a name? NORTHWEST COMMUNITY College is thinking of naming its buildings after people who helped in its founding and development. The cffort will be part of the college’s 25th anniversary this fall. Tt began as a vocational school, adding academics and other programs in the years following. A college board member has already indicated a willingness to sit on a committee to go over a list of names. Anti-free trade rally planned THERE’S GOING to be an anti-free trade rally here May 15. It’s one of many being held across the province and the country as part of a national effort. Speakers scheduled include representatives from government, anti-poverty groups, labour organizations and women’s groups, The May 15 date coincides with one at Parliament Hill which wraps up the On-to-Ottawa Stop Free Trade Caravan that began in Vancouver April 16. The Terrace rally begins at the Carpenters’ Hall at 10:30 a.m. with a march to the band stand at Lower Little Park. Home demolished A WRECKING crew has moved in and has demolished Maria deAlmeida’s southside house. The 2809 Hall St, properly was declared a nuisance by city coun- cil in February and deAlmeida was given 60 days to clean it up or face demolition at her expense. Council stood by the decision at its April 13 meeting, despite deAlmeida’s eleventh hour atiempt at a reprieve. That came in the form of a one-sentence plea to delay demolition but with no explanation as to why the city should. On hand at last month’s meeting, deAlmeida’s husband pointed out the property had just been put up for sale and he had received seven calls, including a $28,000 offer, in just two days. But council learned that a sale of the property would delay demolition because it would have to start all over again with a-new owner, By-law enforcement officer Frank Bowsher told council the first complaints aboul the state of the property date back to 1987, ‘Since then, the property has been getting worse and no-one has been living there’, he said.
