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." .Stadia. ?5 MARCH BREAK SPECIALS SPIRAL PERM, SAVE S10.00 Reg. SI 10 GST incl. REGULAR PERM SAVE 55.00 Reg. S45 GST incl.
