Humber students are shocked by the death of a doctor that they xcv-- rw?5i had loved and admired. When Dr. Bernard Lau, 40, was shot dead in his office by a gunman on Tuesday, the violence of his death hit the hearts of those who knew him. Amee Paul, a third-year nursing student, had been Dr. Lau's patient ARTS since she first came to Humber. She learned of his death from a friend who had seen it on the news.

"I thought Viol That can't be

Former Keelesdale jHH^B:'' i Campus slick with burled treasure byNICKPAWSON News Repoiw

Humber College is divesting

itself of one and maybe two not so little surprij'es found during an environmental survey at an area formerly known as Keelesdale Campus. The survey which was commis- sioned by the Learning Enrichment Foundation (LEF) found a thousand gallon oil storage tank, left over from days gone by, buried under four feet of soil on the grounds.

The tank which had been filed with sand and had a small layer of water on top of the sand, was structurally sound and had not leaked. The finding of the tank prompted a look at the old architeaural draw- ings, revealing what may be a sec- ond tank, buried under the build-

ing.

The cost of removal is estimat- ed to be $2, 500, and will be absorbed by Humber College in order to facilitate the sale of the grounds. Keelesdale. once a part of Humber College as a whole, was used priniarily for futures pro- grams, English as a second language programs, and B.T.S.D.programs. te The building which consists of 12 classrooms, a library resource i News I Doctors murder shocks Humber

$500,000 student activity fees spent - don't hold your breath.

Once SAC has the money securely in its bank accounts, it doesn't seem to matter what the students want.

Some of the causes money is donated to are worthy and justifiable, but why should money go to the hockey club or the environmental club if the

student isn't interested in either of these? Schools such as York and Carleton are on the other side of the spec- trum, holding referenda for every dollar spent by their student government

York asks students to vote on the albcation of as little as seven cents per credit, per student. That amounts to only 50 cents for a semester and, while students probably wouldn't miss the loose change, at least they are being asked.

SAC argues if students want their money spent on a specific cause they can present their case at a council meeting. Why should the onus be on the students, if SAC is supposed to represent the entire student body?

Clearly, the sheer impracticality of having 1 0,000 students asking SAC to spend their student fees in different ways, makes this impossible. A simple compromise would be to ask the students every March where they would like to see their money go, much like the United Way does when asking for donations.

If the students don't have an opinion or don't fill out the survey then SAC can spend away. Torie's tenants law unfair
