Forrester. Editor RIGHT VERSUS OPPORTUNITY A recent article appearing in Macleans magazine and as well replies to the article outlines some of the dilemmas of the 'middle class' people of Canada. The article related'to a couple with a combined income of $21,000 who it was said should rightfully be able to buy a house . . . should buy a house, raise a family and improve their standard of living. One reply to the article carried the thought further by stating that a middle class family, by virtue of its unique position in society, deserve to be able to own a home. The two remarks are traditional in today's society in the use of the words 'rightfully' and 'deserve'. In fact they make the point that there is an inherent right for certain things for a class of people. Do we really have such a right or deserve or is it not a fact we have the opportunity and freedom to strive for them. MORE THAN THE OLYMPICS SHOULD BE INVOLVED It is expected that Canada will announce its decision this week as to whether or not Canadian athletes should compete in the Moscow Olympics. The action by the Soviets to invade Afghanistan is reason enough to protest and it does require a concerted protest from many nations to give the protest some impact. It will also require more than just keeping athletes from competing in the Moscow Olympics. Canada should protest the invasion of Afghanistan through a boycot of the 1980 Olympics and as well'should use its influence, if such does exist, in grouping others in Europe to do likewise. On the other hand it should not only be those athletes who would have attended the Olympics who must pay the price. Other avenues of boycot in technology and commerce should also be included and one should not forget that the popular feature of the Russian ice hockey team visits to Canada should as well be stopped. If this nation is concerned over the invasion of Afghanistan, and we believe it certainly should, then just the boycott of the 1980 Summer Gaines is not enough and the athletes should be joined by others from the Canadian Society. And by all means lets have the Russian hockey team stay at home.

By W, Roger Worth Spring has arrived on university university campuses across the country and restless students have turned to the annual rite of protesting upcoming increases increases in tuition fees. ■ In the 1960s, students were battling such gut issues as the Vietnam war. Now they vent their spleen on the university officials and governments that have been forced to raise tuition tuition fees by about 10% to keep up with inflation. The students, it seems, are mad. Roger Worth is Director, Public Affairs, Canadian Federation of Independent Business. But somehow, it's difficult io sympathize with the campus crowd. Beleaguered Canadian taxpayers taxpayers already pick up about 85% of university education bills, with additional support for needy students available through a variety of special assistance programs. In most cases, university tuition costs less than $800 -' $1,000 per yegr, depending Orillia where they caur' 1 their train for Manitoba. Wm.

Canadian students should look around before they start protesting fee increases that simply match the inflation rate. Bennington College in Vermont, for example, is now charging a whopping $7,380 per year. While that's among the highest in the U.S., universities universities such as Yale, Princeton; Stanford and the Massachusetts Massachusetts Institute of Technology have tuition fees of $6,200 or more per year. And that's in U.S. funds. Canada's students don't understand how well off they are. 'Supported and subsidized , by millions of taxpayers who never had the chance to attend university, this country's stu- » dents are being given a glori- j ous, low-cost opportunity to enhance their future earning power. 1 ' Instead of protesting higher tuition fees, Canada's students should get on with their studies. studies. Otherwise, taxpayers may start to feel university students are being coddled. ORONO, ONT. • 983-5009 (i l. H. STÜTT •: .«if,/; J , STU TT
