IN HIS OWN WORDS

Jardine ponders college's future

n what the most impor-
tant part of his job is:
It’s trying to keep
track of what's going to

happen in the future and how the
college can contribute to that. This
province last year had a program
called Access For All and as a
result of that, three colleges (out-
side of the Lower Mainland) were
given degree-granting status. The
access problem is not in the
boonies, it’s down here. We turn-
ed away 2,200 students in aca-
demic studies alone last year. The
question for us is where does
Capilano College fit into this
Lower Mainland education sub-
system? What program will we
have that will serve a need in the

future?”’

On the state of post-secondary
education in B.C.: ‘‘i would say
overall it is in a healthy state. We
have a good system, but there's
considerable changes coming up.”

On predictions by B.C. Finance
Minister Mel Couvelier that recent
cuts in provincial transfer pay-
ments announced by federal Fi-
nance Minister Michael Wilson
may have an impact on B.C.’s
post-secondary educatian sector:
‘"f the provincial government
finds it necessary to pass on to
education the reduced payments
in education, then we're in trou-
ble. We're not in bad shape right

now, but we're just hanging in
there by the skin of our teeth. If
that happens (post secondary-
education cuts), then we'll lose
everything we gained.”

On why it has taken so long to get
a sports facility for the college:
“Ten years ago the capital fi-
nancing of the system was dif-
ferent than it is today. Ten years
ago we made a pitch to the
Management Advisory Council
and we told them we should have
a gymnasium, and we were told
we would be the next for call
down. Then restraint hit and they
said there was no money for a
gymnasium. In about 1984 our
college board said ‘let's see if the

provincial government would pay
