The action, a one-day walk- out from lectures on March 6, was precipitated by refusal of Quebec Premier Maurice Du- plessis to receive a delegation from six Quebec universities. Students issued a special French-English newspaper The Quebec Student to outline their. demands. The students’ action inject- ed the issue of government grants into the federal election campaign in which Duplessis’ Union Nationale political ma- chine is being used to support Conservative candidates across the province. Universities . involved in seeking to present a brief on their economic problems to Duplessis were Bishops, Laval, Sherbrooke,: Sir George Wil- liams, Montreal and McGill. A key request is that all Quebec students satisfying en- trance exams to universities be automatically granted an “Aid to Youth” bursary ac- cording to need. Leading professors and com- munity spokesmen supported the strikers. Refusal of City Council to rent Atwater Mar- ket Hall for a student rally was sharply condemned by Camille Dionne, LPP candidate for Montreal-Hochelaga, in a let- ter to Mayor Fournier. Six labor councillors also protest- ea. Three students said they would sit on Duplessis’ door- step, until he granted them an interview. Frank Brenton, LPP candi- date for St. Lawrence-st. George, said: “The students’ demands’ for grants and bursaries to cover all costs to students as well as tuition has long been one of the main points in our party’s program. “Recognition by the students’ and by many leading educators that education is the right of all young people of ability without regard to the econ- March 21, 1958 — PACIFIC TRIBUNE—?> as in getting the animal accl with A com sto Alpha, shown here who also trained Laika, the first space d08- 2 of the omic conditions teP ilies is a tremendous § ward.” ‘ Dionne said: 4 “As it is today, Sy daughters of working © 4 ing families just do? os’ a chance for higher © Y if “Our party deman® 4 university tuition, al? 4 grants sufficient for liv} F penses, during the yeh study. f “Our country is rie highly industrialized, it j PF fer its young people ott in education if our of! ments would cut dow? i, armaments race and “ profts of the large © tions?”
