PART TWO OF PROBLEM CHILD

Matthew, the problem child loves to collect live and dead insects. One day he brought into our home alive earwig inside a petri dish. Somehow, the earwig escaped from the dish and as I went to brush my teeth I saw an earwig moving along the bristles. I was

furious. I killed the earwig and threw out my tooth- brush.

I taught Matthew to love hockey, especially goalies. One day I showed him my prized Ed Belfour rookie card. Unknown to me Matthew took the card and put it inside his wallet. Now (a week later) the card was a little bent which makes the card’s value diminish. The problem child had struck again.

Halloween nite of this year the problem child embar- rassed me. A friendly old man gave Matthew an apple. The old man held his door open for the other approaching kids then the problemchild yelled ‘Don’t go there. He just gives stupid ‘ol apples.’’

ACCESSIBILITY: TUITION FEE HIKI

THWARTED BY DALSTUDENTS (Source: Dal Gazette) By Rob Antle

HALIFAX (CUP) -- Dalhousie University students gained a temporary reprieve froma 10 percent tuitio; fee hike after about 600 students stormed a board of governors meeting.

‘*There have never been protesters like this before,’’ said student council president Peter Pottier. ‘‘I think people just kind of got fed up after last year’s 25 per cent increase. It’s only now, after paying tuition in September, that the students realize how much that actually is.’’

After a spirited debate filled with heckling by stu- dents the university’s board agreed overwhelmingly 1 review the tuition fee hike.

Dalhousie president Howard Clark defended the proposed increases at the meeting, saying the provin: cial government has frozen the funding which counts for 80 percent of the university’s operating budget. But that didn’t appease the students.

Dalhousie student Paula Clark asked the crowd if the had seen improvementat the university as a result 0: last year’s tuition fee increase.

Throngs of students jeered enthusiastically in re- sponse.

Student representatives also questioned chair G.C. Piercey on Dalhousie’s decision to raise fees five pe cent above the Nova Scotiaaverage. They also aske: the administration to disclose their salaries.

Piercey refused.

However, students succeeded in deferring a vote on the fee hike until January.

‘*This is definitely a student victory,’’ Pottier said.
