Correll said that although the key issue is workload, the parties need to agree on salaries, teacher training, profes-

and vacation schedules.

The union is asking for a one-year contract with a sixper-cent pay increase. The Council of Regents has offered a two-year contract with a four-per-cent increase in the first year and three per cent in the second year.

Hicks emphasized that is no indication of a strike at this time. “There can’t be a strike while negotiations are going on.”

election

Another municipal election has come and gone and unfortunately it had little impact on the majority of Waterloo Region citizens. A disappointing low turnout resulted in less than 30 per cent of registered voters casting ballots in the Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge areas.

Question of the Week Do you think there will be a nuclear war by the year 2000?

The low turnout demonstrated a servere lack of concern about what occurs in the area where we reside. This strong amount of apathy towards elections has never ceased to

amaze me. Voting is not a right but a privilege democratic societies granting us the freedom to express our concerns and decide whom will govern us. A vote is the major factor that separates democratic societies from communist and dictatorship societies.

Voting is a moral obligation, a chance for people to express their opinions and interests in their communities. I find it rather odd that more people vote in federal and provincial elections than in municipal elections because municipal government has the strongest effect on our every day life.

People are always complaining about city council tearing up a street, not providing busing or not increasing industrial growth in the area. They are so willing to criticize, yet refuse to spend five minutes of their time every three years at voting time supporting what they believe

Such a low voter turnout is a poor reflection of this area and certainly makes a statement about the interest people have in their own cities.
