It was Gilmore’s decision,
but personally, I am not in

‘favour of capital punishment.

Andrew Vander Lzars

I think that they were right
in executing Gilmore. Capital.
punishment is necessary in
certain cases.

It was right to execute

‘Gary Gilmore. I think mur-

derers should be executed.

Mr. Gilmore got what he
wanted and possibly what he
deserved.

The situation surrounding
Gary Gilmore was rather
odd, but I feel that he got
what he deserved.

taxpayers contribute | more’
than $500,000 annually in
taxes.

Task force chairman Bill
Clancey, who forwarded the
request to Education Minis-
ter Pat McGeer last week,
said the establishment: of
such a commission under the
Public: Inquiry Act can be

granted by the Lieutenant-
Governor in Council.

The move, Clancey told
the North Shore News,
resulted from the refusal by
college administrators to

answer a list of questions.

sent to them January 5 by the
task force, which was ap-
pointed a year ago by West
Van school board to study the

college’s finances and ex-’

penditures.°

Clancey maintains that
taxpayers have aright to
query the college budget.
which he says, has soared

from $846,000 to $8 million

between 1969 and 1977.

Douglas Jardine, acting
principal of Capilano Col-
lege, claims that the infor-
mation required by -the task
force should be available
from WV _ school _ trustee
Norm Alban, who'sits on the
college council as. chairman
of its finance committee.

Jardine admits the right of
the public to the information
being sought, but denies that
the college has any obliga-
tion to conduct the research
asked by the task force. —
