-- The provision of scholarships
for students and, recognized

- academic personnel are the most

important necessities for the
development of a desirable, first
class university.

This was the theme of an ad-
dress by Roy Stewart, chairman
of financial resources for the

‘University of Northern B.C., at.
_the Terrace and District Cham-

ber of Commerce luncheon June

-4at the Terrace Inn.

*“We must develop academic

quality from the beginning,”
said Stewart, ‘‘to attract faculty
and students, And scholarships

‘to make it practical for students

to attend from throughout the

district,
“‘We have to develop an In-
dependent Endowment Fund.
“Communities can develop

scholarships or particular.
‘academic positions which we
_ may want, but the province has
set aside $10 million for match- ©
_ ing grants and in some cases, the

Federal government will match

* those to make a four for one
- Teturn.’?

The north needs to develop
studies and opportunities rele-
vant to this area — the com-
‘munity will receive returns in
proportion ot the community in-
put. ‘The Northern areas have

‘been too long under-represent-

ed’’ he said, ‘‘Education is no
longer a luxury, it has become a
necessity.”’

Later, when expanding on the.
advantages of a northern univer-
sity, Stewart spoke of the need

for research in environment,
forestry, fisheries, mining and

. other studies particularly rele-

vant to our area.

June 16 is the magic day when
the Academic plan will be un-
veiled.

‘*This is the planning for the |
first university’ in B.C. in 25
years,” he said. ‘‘And some ex-
citing changes will make it uni-
que.’”

During question period,
Stewart said that the enrolment
planning was difficult. ““We can |
give estimates based on percen- |
tages of known graduates, but
what we do not know is the pent- §
up demand of adults who have. J
been denied the opportunity to
expand their education.”” —

There is recognition of the
need for dormitory accom-
modation, for satellite delivery,
and of the attraction of north-
south travel versus east-west.
“Living costs will play an im-
portant role in decisions for
students, as well as the over-
enrolment at existing universities
and their proposed restrictions.
Another consideration for re-
cent graduates is the so-called
culture shock of being transpos-
ed to city living. Northerners
will be in first place at UNBC.
