large problem facing the colleges, but that the press reports are inflated, perhaps not on purpose, but still creating a false image of the situation of the colleges.

The Toronto Star says that there is a growing demand for college graduates in industry, yet 55% of the applicants are being turned away. Martin says that he does not believe this figure to be accurate. He explained that the problem is the figure arrived at includes courses that receive many applications, without taking into account the courses that receive, for example, only eight applicants a year. He does not, however, deny that the colleges are facing a financial crisis, nor that it is a real problem to both the staff and students of the Conestoga College system. When asked how he believes the students and staff will react, he said that the OFS and the OPSE are “preparing for reaction to any perceived or real cutbacks” and cited the Fanshawe College sit-in as an example.

Martin said that there may be a deficit as large as $30 million within the Conestoga system, but he and his staff are still “fine tuning the budget”.

must respect our NEP and FIRA U.S.

The Canadian government

said last

week

that it will stand firm in its energy and foreign investment policy commitments. This followed strong criticism of the National Energy Program (NEP) by U.S. trade officials. The Reagan administration has also launched a formal challenge of Canada’s Foreign Invest-

ment Review Agency (FIRA). It is not a surprising move on their part, considering what is at stake. However, the U.S. must be made to realize we are no longer going to sit back and watch while they exploit our resources showing little concern for Canadians or our country. Historically, this has been the nature of our land. Raw materials have been extracted and shipped elsewhere to be manufactured or refined and sold to, among others, us. As a colony of first France then Britain, furs, lumber and fish were exported to the motherland. Later, the Americans got in on the action, particularly in mining and oil operations. Now, Canada is making a long-overdue attempt to gain greater control of the wealth which lies within our borders. The National Energy Program, which was introduced in October, 1980, has a mandate to attain 50 per cent domestic ownership of the oil industry by 1990. At present, we control 34 per cent, six per cent more than when the NEP

came

into being.

The Foreign Investment Review Agency does not seek greater Canadian ownership in the manufacturing sector, but greater control over who is investing in our country and the benefits from such investment. Among other criteria, FIRA judges benefit by: Employment - Will the investment provide jobs for

Resource processing - Will the raw materials be processed in this country? Suppliers - Will the investor be buying supplies from Canadian firms? 90 per cent of

applicants

have been approved since the agency’s organization in 1974 - hardly an oppressive record. With these measures we are seeking to better our economic situation by controlling our natural resources and enterprises, thereby controlling our destiny as an economic power.

There can be nothing wrong in that. However, this idea the current American administration cannot seem to fathom. Yet, there is less than 10 per cent foreign ownership of American industry and only half of that is

Possibly, in upcoming Canada/U.S. talks at the international trade headquarters in Geneva, our southern neighbors will comprehend what one former American president has already realized. Richard Nixon, in his book The Real War, stated that “their understandable desire to lessen American control of their enterprises should be respected and en-

Bopcats at Conestoga Leather pants and mini-skirts seemed to be the norm rather than the exception last week at the pub.

The Bopcats, a Toronto based group played their rock abilly music to a medium-sized crowd. The band which consists of Jack de Keyzer, Teddy Fury, Sonny Baker and Zeke Rivers have just returned from a western tour that they felt was very successful. They also have been recording for their second album which they hope will be released in the spring. The band did two long sets, playing a combination of cover tunes and original material. This energetic and danceable music kept the crowd bopping and dancing from the first song to the last. The band thought “the crowd was a bit lacadaisical” early in the night but that they got better as the night went in the studio

Nobody came Clinic

to play

was squashed by poor attendance

A men’s squash clinic was held at the athletic complex on Thursday. Unfortunately, only one person showed up, your good ’ol reporter. Instructor Chuck Mathies said that men prefer to play the game as opposed to going to a clinic to learn its fundamentals. Appropriate dress is a must for playing squash. A t-shirt, shorts, sweatsocks, and a good pair of sneakers do the job' well. Please, no jogging shoes with black soles. Next on the agenda is a squash racket. It is about the length of a tennis racket but thinner and lighter. The strung part of the racket is round and small. The squash ball is small and black. We used a blue dot ball which is faster and used by beginners. A yellow dot ball is used by advanced players and takes more power and skill to hit. A pair of shatterproof eyeglasses is the most important thing to have when one plays squash. Mathies has seen too many eye injuries since he’s been playing squash. Because the ball travels so fast, it can catch anyone by surprise and hit them in the eye. A person can receive severe eye injuries from a fast travelling ball. Mathies explained the rules of the game. Each game is played up to nine points and a person can only score on their own serve. It was a tall order to return shots delivered by Mathies with a forehand shot.
