Tuition hikes upset local students
BY TIM CUMMING
Expositor Editor
Seaforth's hospital and Huron
County schools may have
received a reprieve with the
recent Ontario announcement on
institutional transfer payments.
Some Seaforth high school stu-
dents, however, feel they're the
target of government cost-cutting
due to tuition increases.
"I think they should find some
other way to come up with the
needed revenue," said Tom
Wheatley, an 18-year;old
Seaforth District High School
(SDHS) student from the Dublin
area. He said there should be
other cuts at the federal and
provincial levels, including MP's
pensions.
College and university tuition
will rise twenty per cent over the
next two years because of a
spending announcement by
Ontario Finance Minister Floyd
Laughren. University tuition will
jump more than $200 this year
and community college students
will pay more than $90 extra this
year.
"It will definitely make it
harder (to get an education),"
said Wheatley.
The decrease in univer-
sity/college transfer payments
are part of the Ontario
government's auempt to curb
spiralling government debt.
One Seaforth high school
student said the higher tuitions
could be absorbed by students.
"I don't think the increase is
enough to affect us that much,"
said Dave McNairn, 18, of
Egmondville. "If students could
Battling the bulge in C4th
BY TIM CUMMING
Expositor Editor
Are you tired of yo-yo dieting
where your weight goes up and
down and up again? If you're sick
of gaining and losing weight with
fad diets, a program offered -in
Seaforth may be for you.
Seaforth Weight Watchers is
offering a weekly program to help
local people lose weight permanent-
ly. The course is offered each
Thursday evening from 6:30 to 8:00
at Egmondville United Church.
Lecturer Judith Elder -McCartney
explains the program is all about
losing weight according to Cana-
dian food rules.
"What Weight Watchers is all
about...is teaching people how to
eat properly, lose weight perma-
nently and handle stress without
dieting," she said. "It's not a diet,
it's a way of life."
There are no special foods to buy
from Weight Watchers. Instead, the
program emphasizes healthy living
including less fatty foods and
encouraging moderate activity.
Weight Watchers in this area has
attracted many women from the age
of 25-65. The program, however, is
beneficial for both men and women
and for both young and old, accord-
ing to the local teacher.
"I'd really like to see more men
m_out to class and _m_ ore teen-
agers having problems with their
weight," she said. "We encourage
all our members to put their entire
families on the Weight Watchers
program."
ElMcCartney cautions against
using foods with refined sugar, like
chocolate bars, for a sudden burst
of energy. In fact, these foods are
low in energy.
"It's a false sense of energy," she
said.
Too many of the foods we eat are
full of 'empty calories' which put
on weight but aren't nutritional.
If you want to find out more
about Weight Watchers or the fees
involved you can phone Judith
Elder -McCartney at 522-0366.
She instructs the program in
Exeter on Mondays, in Clinton on
Tuesdays and on Thursdays in
Egmondville.
"People...
are frustrated."
afford tuition as it is now they
can afford the increase."
He noted that Canadian post-
secondary students can go to
school very inexpensively, com-
pared to their counterparts in the
United States. McNairn said,
however, that if tuitions rise at a
substantially -higher level it could
be a problem.
Some other students feared that
in the future only the rich will
be able to attend post -secondary
schools.
"Only higher -class families
will be able to send their
children to school," said Shawna
McCall, an 18 -year-old SDHS
student from Walton. She said
students are raising money for
their education through part-time
jobs which take away time from
school work.
"We spend too much time
trying to make money outside of
school," said McCall. "That
conflicts with school work."
Students may change plans
because of the rising cost of
education, said Robyn
Camochan, Student's Council
vice-president.
"I've heard people that are
frustrated, they're going to be
thinkin* more of college than
university."
When asked where government
should cut its costs she was
unsure.
"I don't know what they
should do, I just don't think they
should hit the students," she
said. "Education is going to be
only for the upper class."
