was not only certain of opening
for business after the. holiday,
but was looking at the possibility
of increased enrollment as well.
The college should ‘begin actively

’*--yecruiting students from over-

head John Noonan reported to-
the college board. He said there
" should be an emphasis on Hong
Kong students where there are
only 10,000 post-secondary
spaces for every 100,000 high
school - graduates. “After ‘con-

sidering Noonan’s report, the:

college board: set aside $20,000
in seed money to begin the estab-
lisment of what could become a
large-scale international college
program.

But while the college was con-

sidering recruiting international -

students they were also looking
for a few more local students as
well, The findings of a recent
survey were presented to the
NWCC board by Dr. Val

George: “‘A recently completed .

survey of local high school
graduates .indicates that parents
are the single biggest influence
- on where their children go for
post-secondary education,” it
was reported in the Terrace
Review, And, ‘Many students
who choose schools outside the
- region do so in order to get out
of the Northwest.’’
‘In other educational news
there were some great success
stories a year ago this week.

new equipment included’ ‘an

computerized drug distribution

Also, Prince Rupert: MLA

Dan Miller wrote an intuitive

response on‘ the Prince George

‘cancer’ clinic proposal to the

Regional District. Hospital

- Board. This type of medical ser-

Vice is required in the north,
wrote Miller, but a Prince
George center may be a little
help to residents living in the
Northwest. “‘It is just. as costly,
and probably. more‘ difficult for.
people on the north coast to get
to Prince George.as it is for them

to get to Vancouver,”’ he ex-:

plained. Instead, said Miller, the
cost of. transportation for
medical reasons should be
covered by the basic B.C.
Medical Plan. In view of the
province’s recent decision to
build cancer clinics in Surrey
and Kelowna, Miller’s position a
year ago this week could make
headlines again.
