However, he is not aware of any contact between awards officers and students to appeal jointly to the government for more funds. Student leaders have said the decision allowing individual universities to increase their fees up to 10 per cent more than the 7.5 per cent authorized by the Ministry could adversely affect access to professional schools by lower income students. Mr. McClure said that only about 33 per cent of the students at Western are receiving OSAP. He added that about 40 per cent apply. He said it is his impression that the majority do not apply because they know their family incomes are too high to enable them to qualify. He said a family of average size with an annual income of $25,000 represents the cutoff point for OSAP applicants. Series

The special purpose of Western’s $12.5 million Second Century Fund campaign is to “enhance the proven and distinctive margin of excellence of the University as a whole so that the University may retain its vitality and con­ tinue to contribute to the betterment of society”.

Paving raises Grad ire The Society of Graduate Students has passed a resolution condemning the extension of the Thompson Arena Parking area and demanding that a 20-30 foot section of green space that was paved recently be tom up and resodded. SOGS First Vice-President Paul Smith said the graduate students feel that the Physical Plant Department “overstepped its area of responsibility” in pav­ ing the area which forms part of a baseball field used by the students. Mr. Smith said the Physical Plant Department had paved a larger portion of the green space than was recommended by the Campus Conservation Commit­ tee and the University Commit­ tee on Parking and Traffic.

Threat of the “decimation of faculty” in Ontario universities is the most pressing problem facing academics, says Prof. Sarah J. Shorten, newly- elected President of the Ontario Con­ federation of University Faculty Associations. Prof. Shorten, an Associate Professor of Philosophy at UWO and a former Chairman of the UWO Faculty Associa­ tion, was elected OCUFA President at a recent meeting of the provincial faculty organization’s board of directors. She succeeds Dr. David Inman, of McMaster University’s Department of Neurosciences, who resigned due to the pressure of other commitments. Prof. Shorten will serve as President until Ju­ ly 1,1980. Faculty reductions projected in the Ontario system for the future as well as the imbalance in the faculty age profile in favour of older professors are the critical issues cited by the new OCUFA President. Prof. Shorten described the statistics in the recent Ontario Council on Univer­ sity Affairs white paper “System on the Brink” as “terrifying” in terms of the future implications for Ontario’s universities. Prof. Shorten said significant reduc­ tions of faculty on campuses would fur­ ther aggravate the current faculty age profile in the system. “Where cuts occur, they are likely to hit hardest at the younger faculty,” she said. Prof. Shorten said the threat to the university system because of provincial underfunding is one of potential lasting damage to the education system. Prof. Sarah J.
