At the rally on Wednesday, Feb. 7 strong voices must be heard — student voices. For weeks we have heard how Humber's support staff, administration and faculty are being laid off and of the pro- posed changes to various college programs. Now students have an opportunity to protest these and future cuts to ppst-secondary education. Apathy must be over- come. In a national day of protest, the Canadian Federation of Students hopes to send a message to the provincial and federal governments. The message is simple. In Canada, post-secondary education provides an opportuni- ty for those who are willing to work hard to have a brighter ftiture. This should remain a right of every Canadian. We must not allow the pendulum to swing back to a time when colleges and universities were a place only for the privileged. Today we live in a global economy and education is our most valuable resource. It is a resource well worth protecting. Students must not be fooled into believing the cuts will not affect them. Cuts will mean higher costs and fewer opportunities.

Although we are only at Humber for a short time, it does not absolve us of a responsibility to the future of post-secondary education. In the coming years, we should be able to look our children in the eyes and say we fought to preserve their future as best we could. The rally will begin at 3 p.m. at Nathan Phillips Square. A march up Bay Street will culminate in speeches at Varsity stadium. Students owe U to themselves, and to the future of this coun- try to be there.
