The issue of summer jobs for students was brought up and the PRemier responded by saying, "There will be approximately 600 summer jobs available for students, which is the sane as last year. However, there will be a large expansion in the area of forestry. While 500—600 acres of trees were planted last year the number is expected to increase to

must be a unanimous one. Nova Scotia was the province which was not going along with the move which he added was "for cbvious reasons".

The question and answer period lasted for an hour and a half. The audience was a listening one; questions were constant and discussion was good. I think many students gained new information from the meeting which might assist them in their voting decision.

Dobber must be acknowledged for the hours he spent attempting to fix the microphone system. Like all of us, we pooled our
