IN SEARCH OF THE GREEN

by Laurie Reeves

I do;not could happened, but the article of October 8 listing winners of the Annual Awards Din- ner neglected to mention the winner’ of two prizes. “The Knights of Colum- bus State Council Prize” (for the student standing highest in Junior Educa- tion), and “The Eric Hillis Memorial Award” (for a third year Education stu- dent who, in the view of the Dean, shows the most’ all- round promise as a teacher at the secondary level) were both awarded to Gordon Cox of Sherwood.

BUCKING UP_ THE STANDARDS TO KEEP NUMBERS DOWN

EDMONTON (CUP) -~

pLttS

SitoisG OF % PLOGdp ii Entrance requirements for

high school students at the

University of Alberta have ©

been raised from 65 to 70 per cent, in an effort to re- duce crowding.

“We simply do not have the capacity to deal with ever-increasing num- bers of students,” said Pe- ter Meekison, U of A vice- president (academic). . _

He said that the enrol- ment increase is expected to reduce the number of students enrolled from this year’s record 30,000 to around 25,000 in ten years.

Registrar Brian Silzer said, "It’s very difficult to do anything to make us less accessible .— . we've

always prided ourselves on being accessible to all stu- dents. However, we have a responsibility to the people who are here already.”

The student council is in agreement with the ad-

ministration on this issue.

~The fact is that right now (the university) can’t accommodate - 30,000 stu- dents on this campus. It’s impossible. And because of that, the quality of educa- tion might suffer this year,” said Tim Boston, student

council president. ’The only reason they

used entrance requirements to do it is because it’s the only fair way to do it,” Boston said. “You could

raise tuition, but that’s ap- plying a financial restric- tion instead of an academic

”

one.

Boston did express con- cern that “if the 70 per cent doesn’t cut down enroll- ment enough, they’re going to have to do it again, and again, and again. You'll get the idea that it’s an elite in- stitution.”

However, the higher standards are not neces- sarily permanent, accord- ing to Silzer. “If enrollment should diminish (because of other factors), we can go

back to a lower standard.”s i
