Boot drive A6 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, November 14, 200] money better spent at home devastated the world on September 11. However, [ have a problem under- standing the firefighters’ boot drive. I am not in opposition of the kindness that the fire department is showing fallen com- rades and their families: But I do resent that local people, many financially de- emotionally obligated to donate money because of a horrific radio ad Partially funded by Terrace city council: due to a devastated forest industry cre- ated by a tariff imposed by the United States, For every forestry job lost, it af- fects 10 other jobs in the province. Our dollars, locally earned by the forestry re- lated industry, will be going into the boot and given to the United States for what? I assume the families of the firefighters Dear Sir: As a student attending Northwest Cammunity Coliege in Terrace, I am ex- tremely concemed about the decision of the provincial government to review the tuition fee freeze, (and the 5. per cent re- duction that was announced last year). In particular I am disturbed about the manner in which this review is being con- ducted. The ministry is asking people to consider the “hidden costs” of the tuition fee freeze, and does not seem willing to consider that the freeze has had a posi- tive impact on access to post-secondary education. Without the freeze, I would likely nat have been able to return to college. In 1998, my decision to upgrade my math and science courses was directly related to the fact that tuition for adult basic edu- cation was eliminated that year. Now, | am completing first and second university transfer courses, and planning to transfer to Simon Fraser University. I chose to re- main at NWCC because the tuition fee freeze that has been in place for six years, has made NWCC the least expen- sive post-secondary institution in B.C.

Those precious dollars should firstly remain in our community. or province and secondly at least in Canada, Couldn’t this money be better spent on Canadian and local difficulties or donated to muscular dystrophy, where boat drive money usually goes? Maybe it could be spent on training courses for search and rescue personnel and for equipment to better serve our community. in case of a disaster closer to home? Gordon Birch, Terrace, B.C. Don’t increase tuition fees If tuition fees are increased, and it is very likely that they will once the review process is complete, it is going to make it even. more difficult to complete an al- ready expensive educational process. My real fears are of how people who have lost their jobs, (or are on disability or are funded in other inadequate ways) will have the chance to obtain the education they will need to become employed. If tuition fees are increased, (and in the case of adult basic education re-intro- duced), NWCC will lose enrolment, thereby negating any insignificant in- crease of funds that may be brought in by an increase in tuition. Lost enrolment will mean an increased potential for layoffs, and reduced program offerings. NWCC is vital to the northwest, and I urge all citizens and especially current and potential students of NWCC to write to advanced education minister Shirley Bond and support the maintenance of a tuition fee freeze and demand a reduction in fees. Post secondary education is the right of every individual and access to it should be protected. Karen McAthy, Terrace, B.C.
