WEST VANCOUVER

Towers developer
motives questioned

Dear Editor:

As your page 3 piece on Friday,
Nov. 11 made clear, West Van-
couver’s outgoing council has been
tushing ahead with unseemly haste
to do the bidding of Newcorp in
connection with the Twin Towers,
and has apparently spent $500,000
of the taxpayers’ money in the
process, even as the election cam-
paign was running and without
waiting for the will of the people in
the referendum.

This is particularly strange since
Newcorp had already waived the
conditions precedent with which
council was rushing to comply —
and stranger still since council had

you.

populace into accepting a project
that has been rejected by the Advi-

Celebrating 20
Years

Capilano College was a
f teaching institution
without teachers until
John Sayre waiked
f through the door. The
first faculty member
hired when the College
began in 1968, the
B Nebraska-born
economist came to
§ Canada to study
3 towards his doctorate at
S.F.U. before joining the
# College's fiedgling team.
The move proved a
a formative step for the
former peace corps
member, who learned
that teaching others was
top priority in his life.
“Teaching is what we
do here,”’ says John.
“And | believe we do it
well.” John coaches a
girls’ soccer team in his
spare time, and also
4 lectures in U.8.C.'s
Commerce Department.
