Meanwhile, operating grants to colleges and universities over the past few years have repeatedly failed to keep pace with inflation. This year’s increase will be between 12 and 13 per cent, not quite enough to keep the wolf from the door.

It would be far more favorable to have a documented outline of what will take place in the event of a breakdown than to be at the mercy of the rules by default in a childless, less than five-year relationship. If there is no document, each party simply takes back whatever he/she put into the living arrangement. This can get very sticky when material goods are purchased together under the five-year relationship. It is not necessary to hire a lawyer to draw up a co-habitation agreement, providing the correct signatures apply. This document is recognized by law if a further dispute erupts.

Surely education must rank high on the list of expenditure priorities for both levels of government. And if this is true, surely these governments can formulate some long-term budgeting that will allow administrators of colleges and universities to do some long-range planning of their own. It is to be hoped that a co-operative approach would help uncover funds that would at least allow colleges and universities to keep pace with inflation, and replace outdated equipment. This much is necessary to maintain tha quality of education in this province.
Education -is too important to the future of this country to become the forum for yet another provincial-federal power struggle. The two governments must come to terms on the issue of post-secondary school institution funding, and they must do so before further deterioration of these institutions takes place.

by Kathy Hamilton Last Thursday was supposed to be both ladies night and Springsteen night at the El Condor Pub. Ladies did get in for a reduced fee, but the band, Oliver Heaviside, had different ideas about the music selection. During the first set, G.P. Partland, Heaviside’s lead singer, said, “You people have been subjected to false advertising. They said we do a lot of Springsteen. We don’t.” Music enthusiasts were just as happy. Heaviside didn’t corne close to emulating The Boss in the few numbers they did at tempt. Vocals lacked in variety of tone and the beat decidedly sluggish. Heavidside made their first appearance on stage at 9: 50 and broke into The Streets are Sur-

The six man band did play here last year, and according to‘ Partland, the audience was “a little more responsive.” About the name Oliver Heaviside, Partland said, “We found it in an encyclopedia.” The group is currently entered in the Q 107 Homegrown Contest and members are in the process of making a record deal which, according to Partland is “looking pretty good.” Heaviside’s oldest members, rhythm guitarist and writer Chris Partland, keyboard player Bernie O’Grady and drummer Pat Kennedy, have been playing together for eight years. G.P. Partland joined three years ago and new members, lead guitarist Roy Ogg and bassist Phil Angers, have been with Heaviside for less than a year. The band usually plays three night gigs in bars and an average of two nights per month at colleges. They concentrate on
the southern Ontario area where, as G.P. Partland says, “the
