objects to use of Sheridan by author HOLLANDER At least one member of the Sheridan College Board of Governors is unhappy about the impending visit Hollander to the campus on March 28 Bert former warden and exreeve of Acton says no one has polled the college governors about the fitness of the visit and be finds this disturbing He feels many people are concerned that Miss Hollander author of the explicit current best seller The Happy Hooker should be allowed to use the provinces educational institutions to further her views The Happy Hooker outlines her experiences as a New York madam In an interview with the Free Press Mr Hinton said if the visit corrupts even one young girl and starts her on the road to pros titution that is reason enough to complain He said Sheridan College should not be used to glorify a way of life that has no place In the provinces educa tional system Im not against the young people indulging In activities such as this outside the school he explained but Im against them using the school for them If they have time to spare they could put it to better use Mr said he did not want to be selfrighteous about it but in his view Miss Hollander was stepping out of her real role in this visit and posing as an educator I don t mistrust the students on this so much as I resent this Invasion of an educational In stitution to outline her views he said Miss Hollander has been in Canada for the last month touting her book and speaking to dif ferent bodies She was invited to Sheridan College by Sheridan student senator Marty who said he heard her inter viewed on radio and felt she had a lot of Interesting things to say I thought the students of Sheridan would like to hear and discuss some of the Ideas Mr said No place for It Hinton who said perhaps Miss Hollander views could be aired at some other time and location but Sheridan wasnt the place for them He said prostitution is an illegal occupation in Canada and although she may not be prac ticing here she was promoting it Is It necessary to make educational facilities available at public cost to sponsor or publicize her profession he asked Does she have a fee or charge expenses for her engage ment at Sheridan He said the board was Ignorant of all these details and It concerned him Mr also questioned the Intent of the 10 North American who have placed her first book on their required reading lists He didnt feel it was an endorsatlon but an evaluation process and was a feeble excuse for Sheridan to endorse the vialt Im not afraid the student body will be corrupted he emphasized but questioned why the faculty and administration would stay quiet about Miss Hollanders visit Mr views are getting some support in Oakville where a group of women estimated at around have consulted former county crown attorney Peter K McWiUiams with a view to cancelling the Sheridan appearance Mr McWill lams has taken up the cause objecting to Miss Hollander because she glorifies a sinful business when in fact the life of a prostitute is miserable and degrading He said she was misleading impressionable people BERT wont render refuse inert Auld Acton landfill site for shredded and baled
