SAC puts on display of bad maimers

Colin James and rocked the Student Centre last came Monday, >^ It ^\->''^^ jf .^^^« 1 ^w^ J mb^^W vM^*^mu11 JBB ^^ • but his performance couldn't mask the bad manners of the Students' Association Council. The conceit was originally "for students only". In a commu-

nique distributed to faculty and staff, it was announced their pres- ence was undesired. Since the show was paid for by students, only students could attend.

It was poor judgment by SAC, an organization which should strive to bring the Humber community together, rather than treat

faculty and staff as outcasts. These are the people who make it possible for students to receive an education. True; the $7,000 spent to put James on stage came from sta dents* pockets. But SAC should not have assumed students would not want instructors and staff to share in the concert experience. When showtime finally arrived, SAC members felt uncomfortable explaining to adminisu^tive staff why they couldn't see the show. So, backing down from their original stand, SAC members

allowed staff to walk in. . Some faculty also managed to attend the concert, but the majority stayed away as a result of the ban announced in the com- munique. SAC made a big show of keeping the concert under wraps Both entrances to the Student Centre were blinded, SAC members guarded doors, and they were yelling at people who tried to peek through cracks. But they did not take into consideration the glass wall between the Student Centre and the Pipe. From here, students discovered they had an excellent view of the show. Colin James' performance, the night after his big Juno win, was a good time. These days, there are very few good times on campus. It's

unfortunate SAC spoiled it by wanting to segregate the college community.

Budget gives single parents a break

The federal government's budget, released last week, held few surprises. The Liberals appear to be staying on course as they look toward a possible election in 1997,

However, Finance Minister Paul Martin did introduce new taix rules concerning child support payments. Dramatically changing

the lives of families is always a risky move for any government, and the Liberals should be applauded for their decision. Custodial parents will no longer be obligated to pay tax on the child support payments they receive, and nouTCustodial parents will no longer get the tax exemption on child support they pay.

As of January 1, 1997, any couple seeking a divorce will be subject to the new rules. Custodial parents divorced before this date must go to court to have the old tax rules repealed in their support settlements.

This is the first major move by the Liberal government to try to correct a child support system which for so long has been ineffi- cient and often inadequate. Everyone realizes the interests of a child should be a priority, but acrimonious decisions have often waylaid this goal. Martin's announcement obviously pleases custodial parents, the majority of whom are women. Ever since Suzanne Thibideau unsuccessfully took the government to court over child support taxation, lobbyists have raised a hue and cry over the injustice.

Well, the government has listened. But there is still far to go in leveling out the custodial playing field. Non-custodial parents (mainly men). are angry with the govern ment, saying it has changed the tax rules without attempting to ensure fathers' accessibility to their children. Many responsible fathers feel they have been unjustly tarred with the "deadbeat dad" brush The government must continue to work at resolving this sensitive issue. The children deserve it. " "
