For example, in Nova Scotia, transfer payments account for 72% of revenue spent on higher-educa tion, in Ontario for 68%, in Manitoba transfer payments make up 76% and in British Columbia, 67%. • Since 1986, the government has cut $6.8 billion in federal transfer payments to provinces and territories. • These cuts mean that provinces and territories have less revenue to spend on post-secondary education. • The revenue shortage has created a funding crisis for post-secondary institutions. • Federal government policy trickles down to you in the form of: • ever-increasing tuition fees • fewer available courses • larger classes • decreased resources for research nadequate library facilities • enrolment caps • deteriorating buildings, etc. Had enough?

They said that security will try to ensure open communications with ORS this year, and a number of officers will attend meetings throughout the year. Councillors are frequently called in before security needs to take any action. The security officers said students tend to respond bettei to fellow students. Residence Assistants (RA's) apparendy have a good history of handling immediate problems without needing security involvement. Councillors reminded one another that noise complaints and the like should be directed at RA's, not to security. Councillors should encourage students to go to them for assistance first. ZOO Pub Manager Mike Pyne spoke on a few Zoo issues as they relate to residence students. There is the possibility of establishing a buddy system for under-age students living in rez. Once approved by the Alberta Liquor Control Board, section assistants or other volunteers may pair up with students aged 17 in order to attend Zoo events. It would be the responsibility ofthe older buddy to ensure that the younger one absolutely did not drink. Breach of this policy would result in a year-long ban from the Zoo for both parties. The whole point is that the Zoo belongs to the entire student body—17-year-olds included. Pyne explained SU's corporate sponsorship program and the loss of Moosehead from the Zoo. "We are supporting businesses that support us as a university community." Pyne said. Rez days are Saturdays. The Zoo will host special events for residence students. 150 tickets to the Waltons were reserved for ORS members. A similar policy may be followed in the future. Northwestern College of Chiropractic Pyne encouraged rez councillors to encourage students to respect Zoo property.
