VOLUME Woods responds to White Paper

On Friday, September 28, President John Woods presented a brief in response to the provincial government's White Paper On Proposals For An Industrial and Scientific Strategy For Albertans. Among those attending was Advanced Education Minister Dick Johnston, one of the principal authors of the paper. Following are the main recommendations from Dr. Woods' report. Copies of the complete brief are available through the President's Office.

PART A: INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY Recommendations (1) The White Paper is wise to recognize the systematic and implementational flaws of industrial strategy in general, and should itself be scrutinized and wherever possible reconciled with its own reservations about industrial strategy. (2) Provincial trade missions and export consortia, fairly and prudently managed, can be of considerable and justified assistance to Alberta sales abroad, and should be supported. (3) Government action to offset contrived and unfair economic intervention originating from beyond Alberta is justified. (4) Subsidies for specific firms may warrant further consideration in regard to the equitable distribution of risk and benefit. (5) Limitations of industrial strategy, particularly in the training and educating of Maureen Forrester Opens Performing Arts Series the labour force, should be clearly recognized and addressed separately.

From his sixth floor office in downtown Lethbridge, lawyer Philip North can look across the river to the Southern Alberta prairies, the mountains and The University of Lethbridge. Since 1978, the University has been an integral part of North's life and he of it. As Chairman of the Board of Governors for two terms. North has been witness to the growth and development of the University, through good times and bad, from the opening of the Performing Arts Centre, to the controversy over the establishment of a University hockey team when some faculty openly criticized the Board of Governors. Through it all, Philip North has guided the University's highest governing body and has emerged even more committed to the institution and the values for which it stands.
