14 Terrace Review — Wednesday, November 30, 1988 UNIVERSITY SOCIETY, MINISTRY COMMITTEE TRADE SH “A Nov. 4 méeting in Prince George between the. Interior University Society and the’ Ministry of. Advanced. Educa-. tion and Job Training Access Consulting Committee — didn’t ° produce’-the expected results. Rather than a useful exchange of- information and ideas, it caused a major rift between committee chairman Dr, Les Bullen and society president Elsie Gerdes. In a letter to Minister of Ad- vanced Education and Job Training Stan Hagen, dated Nov, 10, Gerdes states that, “Only Dr. Bullen was aware of the particulars of our feasibility study and our position paper. The members of Dr. Bullen’s committee were not competently prepared to consult with us or, indeed, anyone else.

This letter also complains that the commit- tee has no representation from — the North, but is instead made. up of residents of the Van- couver/ Victoria area. The Interior- University Socie- ty’s past president; ‘Murray Sadler, added jhis own words to those of Gerdes by stating in a press release that he was ‘‘shock- ‘ed’? and “disappointed” at the lack of knowledge.demonstrated by committee members pertain- _ ing to-the educational needs in the North.’ - Loy These letters prompted Hagen to visit Prince George to discuss the problem and Ron East, a society spokesman, explained, “This is my committee, not me... give me a chance to get all the facts.’’ East says that Hagen announced that he would be visiting Sweden in December and would be able to get a first- ~ Decembers in the past | Compiled by Tom Taggart Afro-American Rosa Parks disturbs status quo by keeping her bus seat (1955). “Monroe Doctrine”’ proclaims U.S. hegemony over Western Hemisphere (1823). - Chicago: Enrico Fermi produces first atomic chain reaction (1942).
