Pm. t GoTTA Do leges and universities enough to survive. V4IAT I GoTTA Do. To cover cuts in education spending students will have to pick up c D the slack to the tune of an additional 20 per cent in tuition fees. This increment is on top of the 30 per cent increase imposed since the con- servative government took office three years ago. With college tuition more than doubling in the last decade, statistics show middle and upper income students are over represented in Ontario's stellar centres of higher learning. An additional increase in individual education expenses will only enhance this stratification and higher education will be even less accessible, in a province that prides itself on a classless society. Although Eves says he will divide up 30 per cent of the most recent increase to help needy students, it will not help students employed full time and others who do not qualify for loans and grants. More stu- dents will drop out because they just don't have the money. Even those who do qualify for government handouts, will have an increased debt load. The bill for post secondary graduates already averages $25,000. Perhaps Eves thinks that just because his stats tell us

Canadians live and breath hockey. That's why, when Alan Eagleson put a black mark on the sport the country dropped its gloves. But what about the players he banished to oblivion? As president of the National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA), Eagleson swindled dozens of players from 1967 to 1991. Last week the US Courts imposed a CDN $1 million fine and a year's probation, while Canadian courts put Eagleson in jail for 18 months.
