Move questioned by college head

By ED YUDIN
- Herald Staff Writer
While it won't create
immediate problems, the
decision to move
universities into the
ministry of science and
technology could result in
future difficulties, ac-
cording to Dr. Val
George, the principal of
the Northwest Com-
munity College. .
In his recent cabinet
ehuffie, Premier Bill
Bennett decided to put

Dr. Pat McGeer in
charge of the universities
when he moved over from
the education portfolio.
However, it was decided
to leave the community
college system in the
education portfolio.

“I would have thought
it would be more rational
to split the whole post-
secondary system off,”
commented George’ after
Saturday’s college board
meeting. “By splitting off
the universities it isn't

LIBRARY BROWSING |

By
ED CURELL and MARIA YOUNG

One aspect of our library service which is not well
known, but which we feel is very important is our
Audiobook Service for the visually handicapped.

These are books on cassette tapes for persons who
are unable to use conventional print materials
because of physical or visual impairment or who have
a reading disability severe enough to prevent reading
printed material in a normal manner,

The library iteelf has purchased a small selection of
these materials and obtains at intervals a selection of
titles from the Library Services Branch in Burnaby.
Among the Titles currently available we have: A bird
in the house by Margaret Lawrence, Jonathan
Livingstone Seagull by Richard Bach, The Rhinemann
exchange by Robert Ludlum, The Roman hat mystery
by Ellery Queen and The drunken forest by Gerald
Durrell. For children the selection includes such
things as James and the giant peach by Roals Dahl,
Charlotte's web by E.B, White, The adventures of
Pinocchio by Carlo Callodi and A bear called Pad-
dington by Michael Bond.

We also have catalogues of the holdings of
audiobooks and can quite simply write to Burnaby for
any requested titles or types of books - mysteries,
romances, books on politics, history, etc. All of these
have been recorded by professional readers and on the
whole very well received by those who use them.

Through ‘Audiobooks the blind and physically
- handicapped need not do without the pleasure and
stimulation: ‘that’ ‘Hooks..can provide: If you know
someone who is unable to read conventional print
materials, and would like to use this service, please
phone the Terrace Public Library at 638-8177 for in-

lormation about Audiobooks.

With similar programs
going on at both the
college and university
levels, there could be
some overlap and conflict
created now that the split
has been made.

Hans Wagner, the
chairman of the college
board, said Saturday, he
thought the split would
create ‘‘an additional
handicap” towards co-
operation of post-
secondary _ institutions.

“The split in the
ministry in my opinion

will cause additional
problems," he said,
adding, “I don’t think the
educational system will
take a second seat to

Faculty looks for an
11 per cent pay raise

The faculty union at the
Northwest Community
College, working without a
contract since April, 1979,
will meet with a college
board negotiating committee
again this week to push for a
reported 11 per cent salary
increase,

Stan Persky, the chairman
of the faculty union
negotiating team, said
Monday that negoflations

said, claiming an agreement
was close at hand,

The faculty union includes
17 full-time Instructors,
librarians and other
academic staff. Ad-
ditionally, there are about 30
other part-time staff who
will be included in the
agreement, as ordered in
August by the Labour
Relations Board.

At present, salaries range
from about $16,000 per an-
num to $27,000, depending on
tenure. The faculty recelved
a four per cent raise ‘with

they are seeking an ad-

Martin Winkelaar, the
college board negotiator,
said Saturday money was 4
key issue holding back a
settlement,

“We're looking at that as

two major items," he said.

Vocational instructors at

the college will soon open
negotiations for thelr con-
tract. The members of the
British Columbia Govern-

presently negotiate
separately from the faculty
union, a situation which
Persky said will probably

change eventually. -
Winkelaar says the
BCGEU contract has also

expired.

“We've tried not to
distract ourselves with two
contracts at this time,” he
said, We mutually agree
with the BCGEU that
negotiations are not un-
derway at this time.”

Seat belt saves life

A local truck driver who
saved his life because he was
earing a seat belt when his
vehicle collided head on with
a logging truck has been
given a Belt-Up Award by
the Workers’ Compensation
Board.

Fred Morris of Nass
Camp, a tireman with
Twinriver Timber, was
driving a tire truck near
Nass Camp on Jan. 30 when
it collided with an empty
logging truck. The hood of
the tire truck was pushed
back through the windshield
of the vehicle by the impact
and Morris says he would
certainly have been killed if
he had not been belted up.
The roads were icy and the
collison happened on a blind
corner. Morris received cuts
and a brokken jaw in the
accident,
