Western creates new seniors policy LONDON - A new seniors' poli- cy in Western's continuing educa- tion program, while increasing sen- ior fees, will in fact enlarge the number of seniors eligible for re- duced rates in many of Western's non -degree classes. The former seniors' fee required stringent quotas to be set, said Tom Guinsburg, Dean of the Faculty of Part -Time and Continuing Educ- tion. "Due to the cost -recovery nature of the non -degree program and fact that these courses do not receive funding, we were previously able to offer only a very limited number of spaces for those not paying the full tuition fee," said Guinsburg. In several instances, filled quotas prevented seniors from registering at the reduced rate, so they had the choice of paying full fee or missing the course. As well, certain courses which were popular with seniors had to be cancelled because they were not financially viable under the former policy.

Morgan said the solution to Onta- rio electricity future lies in conser- vation - "the Ontario government must live up to that original diving sentiment," he said. "We must find new and innovative ways to use our energy. Clearly, we're not doing that today. "If we decide to redirect Ontario's water resources to make up for that gaffe, we'll be creating a long-term for landscape that may this andsca Y" Y never heal."
