-rio friday 5 june 1970 Re-evaluationstudent loan A university committee studying the recently-released Ontario report on financial assistance to students claimed monday that students from low-income families are unwilling to take out student loans and. are therefore impeded from going to university ., The conclusion was fvoiced by George Chapell, a i high school counsellor and head of guidance for the Kitchener-Waterloo area, and confirmed by student awards officer Albert Dejeet. Dejeet further maintained that only five to ten percent of those applying for student loans “get hurt” and recommended that the present inconsistencies in assessment between parents and married students be eliminated. ’ He was referring to the scale for determining the need of dependent students which allows parents a standard living expense of only $1,800. The remainder of parental income is considered free-moneythat is expected to finance the dependent child’s year at university., This is compared to a married of p/&n I For once it appeared as if the campus was finally finished, however, the recent removal of a vast quantity of b.s., seemingly of the intellectual variety, has nullified this popular belief.

A new feature of the awards program will qualify student with a combination of four years work and university attendance as independent students. One aspect of the awards plan made apparent was that actual summer earnings of students is not taken into consideration. Tables are consulted to determine how much money each student was expected to have earned, or should have earned and saved through the summer. The cost of living for a student living on campus is pegged at $2,000. i Any student from the twin cities itself is not expected to be living in a university residence and should not need that amount. Those ( items considered student expenses include books, instruments, fees and board. There is no provision for medical or dental expenses. . t Chapel1 stated he felt students. should apply for student loans while, in high school-this would enable students to know beforehand how much assistance they _ could expect, and would allow guidance counsellors to encourage students who might ordinarily not do so, to apply for a student loan. The provincial government recently saw fit to improve high school counsellors’ knowledge of the student loan scheme by raising its number of high school liaison people by lOO%-from one to two. The committee will meet again in two weeks. War resekh is .good?’ made to combat the secondary effects of technology, such as pollution. “To do this we must abandon the pursuit of mindless technology in favour of mindful technology.” He was hesitant to denounce all research at Suffield as mindless. For instance, a byproduct of war research of this kind has developed vaccines against animal plagues in Asia and India. ’ l Flying \ 1. Flying may be great for birds, but it is even better for Uniwat students who take advantage of the opportunities offered by the university flying club. Such were the impressions of-three wary university of Waterloo students upon return with pilot Bob Allan from a 2-hour excursion to Niagara falls on may 30. After de-nesting a feathered saboteur from the engine of the Cessna 172, pilot Bob Allan and three students were an-bourne above Waterloo- Wellington airport. With no haze at 1000 feet above ground level (as there was at 3000 feet), Niagara turns out to be ahew high . ’ turned out to be a photographer’s delight. Upon circling the’ falls four or five times, we headed back to K-W again via the famed south-western Ontario pollution complex. Of course, we had to size up Uniwat from 2000 feet before landing back at the airport, thus concluding a most pleasurable Saturday afternoon. 1 And the cost for the 2-hour excursion? $6 per person ($1 membership to UFC and $5 rental). For members of UFC the cost is $5. . - Since the u of, -W flying club operates on a break-even policy, and since the stuAents here own their ‘own planes (two Cessna 150’s and one Cessna 172), the costUFC pilots, a tour to any point within afor such pleasure tours is minimal.

With goveynment legislation curbing the use of DDT and growing concern over the inadvisiof using. many of the traditional, broad spectrum insecticides, a need has risen for new methods and techniques to aid in the fight for insect control. The present danger is that these persons will turn to other toxic chemicals which could be potentially as dangerous, or even more dangerous, to human and animal life. This need not be the case. Research into techniques for insect control through means other than insecticides is taking place and, what is more important, coming up with some positive finds and impressive results. One area where’success has already been attained is in the use of crops with a high resistance to insect attacks. This method has been extremely effective against the hessian fly in California through- the use of whqat developed specifically for this purpose. MAJOR”DIFFfCULTY - these strains. Simply changing strains at this period of time overcomes the adaptation,which, is far less seriou$ than built-up resistance to chemicals. In the case of the hessian fly, there are 22 developed wheat strains that will resist it. While other crops’ and vegetables with resistant qualities are being- developed, with researchers believing they will be widely used in the future, research priorities are slowing down the possibilities of this development. It simply isn’t high enough on the list to get the share ofdmone! ?n the list to get the share of money and time it deserves. The use of predators, parasites, and “natural enemies” have ~been given close attention. Of these “natural enernie?” are the least promising, since tliey only insure . a balance between themselves and the insect population, which may leave the insect population at a higher than desired level. Egg eaters . The major drawback to t_he development is the time required. Sometimes it may take up to fifteen years to attain the desired strain. Some crops, notably cotton, are difficult to develop. The advantages speak for themselves. They eliminate the need for chemicals and it takes about ten years for insects to adapt to Citrus fruit growers of the southern United States have had SUCcess using a predator while the development of a wasp-like insect, the trichogramma, is encouraging. Since it is a parasite on* the eggs of numerous other insects, its use can be widespread. After varied testings the trichogramma is now available commercially and from all indications The pdlitical creature is surely one of the most irrational beings which inhabits our society. With an arrogant gleam in his fiery orb, he placidly rides the yellow-brick road on the back of the loyal taxpayer, with one hand held over his eyes, and- the other in his pocket. Our boys in the nation’s capital -have succeeded in convincing us all that they’re doing everything in their powe: (po,wer? ) to wage a persistent battle against that evil-of evils; inflation. But alas, a temporary truce has been called while respective sides, (the haves and the have-not@ regroup to plan further strategy. With the introduction of “Gentle ben’s” white- paper on taxation, in which the government showed neither interest nor faith in the proposals for tax reform made by the Carter report on taxation, we held our breath and wondered what could possibly have been - done for an encore. The white Fjaper on itaxation provided little relief for the worker who must bear the present income tax burden. It did, however, succeed in clarifying where our boys in Ottawa stand on the problems, of the Canadian economy; .what’s good for business is good for the country. The announce.ment last week of the government’s {intention of releasing the Canadian dollar on the foreign exchange market, coupled with a reduction of the Bank of Canada’s interest rate had the appearance of a double- barrel shot at the dragon of inflation. X But basically, this is a repetition of the situation which developed in Germany last year when the imark was increased in value, only the conditions and appropriate repercussions affecting the Canadian. decision may prove more disastrous. The return of the dollar to a floating rate of exchange will provide’ for an increase in the price of Canadian exports ; thus providing a problem f& Canadian industrialists who will no%v have to compete on a more aggressive level in foreign markets to sell their various commodities. Developments in primary industries *and agriculture should prove interesting. On the other foot, domestic imports will be cheaper.

The government has defended its actions on the basis that they are anti-inflationary measures an appropriate which ,, provide amount of indirect restraints on the economy. -7 .

The original concept of a single-tier system was to have included measures to effectively change the whole structure of the university, As they have written the act, however, the act committee members have taken two unwieldy structures (the board of governors and the senate) and two vocal pressure groups (students and faculty), and manipulated them into a streamlined image of the status-quo. What the university ac.t could have ,been and what it actually is are two diametrically, opposed entities.
