College budget up

The. “1980-81 operating
expense budget for Nor-
thwest Community: College
will be approximately} $5.5
million, an increase of ¥2 to
“13 per cent over last year.

Funding for. the. college
comes from three provincial
government councils, each

dealing with a separate .progr.
plus some_

jurisdiction,
money comes directly from-
the ministry of education.

‘Phe 12 to 13 per cent in-°

crease will cover in-
flationary costs, leaving 2 to
.3 per cent for growth .in
college programs, stated Val
George, principal of the
college,

The 2 to 3 per cent that will
be left .over has been
allocated specifically ta
three major areas, to library
development, to. additional
counselling services and to
increases in adult basic
education programs.

George said the one area
that has been a bit restricted
is the university. transfer

‘program. There has been’ a
slight cutback’ and the ‘total
number of courses: has
dropped this year, though
It's likely they will be picked *_
up again next year, :T
academic courses are not as
popular as the vocational

and general interest
‘ams.
itis impossible to compare

this years budget with last
years, said George, because
the whole budget allocation
program was changed this
year,

The academic: programs “

will receive approximately
$600,000, the total vocational
allocation is near $1,600,000
and the adult basic education

‘programs vill operate on

over $670,000.
The total cost of all the
administration, of college

facilities, the operation of

the library and of student
services will be $2,324,939.
The next college board
meeting is on May 24.when
the budget proposals will be
ready for ratification.

Smoke detectors saved lives

A smoke detector saved the lives of Berle Leighton and her
three children Thursday night. .

A five broke out in the. Leighton’ ‘3 house on 4709 Graham

Ave. in an unused bedroom ‘about 11 p.m. It triggered the

smoke alarm, ‘'It was really loud, it jarred me out of my

sleep and woke us up

in time,” said Leighton.

Aneighbour called the fire department and a fire truck was

there in just

a few rijnutes reported Leighton.

The whole room was on fire, including clothes and the bed -

he said.

There isheat and smoke damage in every room and almost

all the windows are broken.

Leighton and her three children are currently staying wi
her mother. On Friday she said, ‘I'm-still a little bit sh

up, I still can't believe It.’”
