GARBAGE A PROBLEM
Has Capilano College recruited
students from dregs of society?

and cutlery into them.

Dear Editor:

So Capilano College has increased its enrolment by
7.2 per cent. The authorities of that college might be
well advised in the future to attend to quality, rather
than quantity.

The revolting sight of lawns and alleyways littered
with greasy papers, hamburgers, cans, plastics, filth
of every description leads one to wonder whether
Capilano College has set out to recruit its students
chiefly from among the dregs of society, rather than
from among normal, decent young people.

Why should we pay taxes to perhaps bring to our
neighborhood even larger numbers of creatures,
whom neither parents nor school have evidently
taught civic attitudes and consideration for others and
the environment.

There are garbage bins everywhere, but they are too
lazy to walk a few steps up to them, unless it is to
throw their garbage together with the costly dishes

On another but related environmental subject.
Capilano College has a beautifully landscaped cam-
pus: why must it desertify its surroundings?

There are two solutions to the traffic probiem: an
intelligent one, which consists in making people pay
for the privilege of parking, thus using financial
and/or administrative means to force students into
availing themselves of the excellent bus transportation
available or else joining car pools; and an
unintelligent solution, which consists in destroying the
wooded areas that screen the campus, which is what
the administration of Capilano College continues to
do.

Even modest screens of trees and shrubberies that
separate the parking lots are being cut down and
replaced with sterile ‘‘landscaping.’’

I refer to the article written by

Mail should be picked up at stated time

Dear Editor:

On Lonsdale Avenue, about one
block north of Queens, the notice
on the mailbox states that mail is
picked up at 5:30 p.m., Mondays
to Fridays inclusive.

At 3:20 p.m. on Thursday, Sept.
7, L arrived just as the box wus. he-
ing emptied. Noting the time i
asked the letter carrier if there
would be another clearance at tne
stated hour of 5:30. He said no,
which meant, had I arrived a few
minutes later, I would have posted
my letters without knowing they
would be there for about another
24 hours.

I don’t think mailboxes should

In instances where prices are
quoted —- ‘‘...will cost between
$160 to $190 per square foot’’ — it
is always a good idea for the
reporter to check the accuracy of
the quotation.

In this case, I was very careful to
avoid setting any prices, as our
company is a long way from mak-
ing this kind of determination. I

be cleared before the announced

ume.

said that, if the suites were to go
on the market today, they might
sell in the $160 to $190 per square

the market will be a year from
