LET US DOWN "There were just too many people who made promises, on the union side, that let us down," Mrs. Steele said. She said she was disillusioned at the way support staff workers were regarded by others at the college. When commenting on a recent meeting with faculty members held Tuesday, Mrs. Steele said they acted as if sup- port staff workers had "crawled out from under a rock". She said she was taken aback by the way "people I thought were friends" acted during the strike. Students laughing and rushing the lines and the indifferent attitude of faculty members tried to make support staff workers feel silly, she said. ' "It just would have been just too difficult for me to face them...," the ex-union president said.

The Professional Engineering Act is an outdated act which prevents engineering technicians and technologists from per- forming to their full capacity, according to Bill Montgomery, president ol the Ontario Association of Certified Technicians and Technologists lOACETT). Speaking to about 120 students at Niagara College Friday, Mr. Montgomery said the recommendations of an Ontario government staff report on professional regulation appears to be "a step in the right d^ection.
