It was 30 years ago this month that Durham College opened the doors of its 12 portables to some 125 post secondary area students. Today the College has over 4200 full time students in college college courses and some 225 in Trent and York University sponsored courses. Business and Industry Relate to Education From the very start, Durham College has brought the changing needs of business business and industry to the educational educational realm through its use of Advisory Committees and produced more highly qualified qualified graduates for the job market. The result has been that generally over 90% of Durham graduates find jobs and in more recent recession times the graduate job rate has remained over 75%. University Centre Leading the way in Ontario in the fall of 1996, Durham College established a University Centre in Agreement with York and Trent Universities and launched their full time under graduate degree programs with courses in nine disciplines disciplines with an enrolment of 125 full time and 2,000 part time students. The number of full time students is expected to grow to 1,000 by the year 2000 with there being many more course disciplines. The College In Crisis But there are some very serious negative factors that can deter Durham College from its very necessary role. The Information Explosion, the use of computers and robots, the Internet, the necessity of becoming more efficient and the attendant costs are placing a terrific economic burden on the College to update equipment and courses. And all of this at a time when in its last fiscal year ending March 31st, 1997 Durham College received $3.4 million less in provincial grants. Affordable Education Other serious hurdles have developed for students from average income families receiving post secondary education education and that is the increasing increasing tuition costs now at approximately $ 1,500.00 for college and $3,000.00 for university, and inflation has resulted in the away from home living costs of some $7,000 per student. A Durham Region student can now obtain a College Diploma and/or a University Degree while living at home, and more university courses will become available as our area population increases. The College Campaign Durham College has responded to all of these negative negative factors by embarking on a $12 million campaign for - The development of the Durham University Centre $2,000,000 - to update technology $9,000,000 - to provide a Bursary Fund for students in need being matched by the Province $ 1,000,000 A Look Back at the Stories That Helped Shape Our Community Attractive Performer This talented performer and recording artist is "Honey" West... no relation to the political candidate of the same name.

Candidates Speak to BHS Students Close to 300 students turned out Monday afternoon at the Bowmanville High School auditorium auditorium to listen to and question the three candidates in the upcoming upcoming federal election.

The students tested the candidates on a variety of issues, ranging from abortion, day care centres and the drug issue to the leadership question and the future future development of Northumber- land-Durham. Liberal Russell Honey was the first to speak and in his opening opening remarks he indicated that he was prepared to meet Allan Lawrence on the leadership issue. He asked the audience the rhetorical question -- who would you prefer as the Prime Minister of Canada -- Robert Stanfield or Pierre Trudeau?
