Overall full*time undergradu- ate enrolment at the University of Guelph will increase by only 3000 students in the fall of this year according to the report. 0) The report cites three reasons for the enrolment cutback: (1) The small increase in the basic income unit (the amount of money the provincial govern- ment allocates to the university for each full-time student), slip year financing, and uncaertainties about future financing have • r • • k ft' tD ergated ia stt'Iiatioo which the university cannot provide addi- tional faculty to .ropewith sub- stantial. enrolment ;increases this fall, (2) The present low apartment vaeaneX rate In the Pity of Guelph and consequently the lack of housing for increased enrol- ment at the university. (3) The University of Guelph has been working towards a "steady-state enrolment" or a levelling -off for a number of years, as recommended in its Aires and Objectives Report (1972) . It was decided to advance this target a few years. Most of the enrolment reduc- tions will occur in science pro- grams which have relatively large registrations, a measure that should relieve the current pressure on laboratory facilities.

This is brought about by that fairly new occasion in school life known as "Winter Break". It is a week's holiday during. March, in which the poor, ground - down students, near a state of total exhaustion from not doing. their homework, skipping school, and sleeping at their desks, have a chance to regharge their bat- teries• for the terrible, gruelling term ahead, during which they will be worn to a frazzle from not doing their homework, skipping even more school because the weather is better, land falling in love because it's spring. It's not that I have anything against winter break as such, or holidays in general. Far from it. If I had my way, we'd also have a fall break and a spring break and school four days a week the "rest of the time. My envy is churned up by the seemingly limitless opportunities the rotten kids have these days to see the world, something I have desired fiercely since I was about four, and have never been able to fulfill. You should hear the young blighters, in the classrooms and the corridors. - "Hi, Liz. Where y' goin' win - Servile Director • Sta rc raft . J ayco • Prowler „ Glendale '' i ii i't 6 days, closeCNied.

Aside from those who are flyii g to faraway, exotic places that you and I have only dreamed' of, there are the others. Ask them wheat they're doing during winter break. Jim: "Oh, I'm jis gonna smash aroun in the snowmobile a'liddel an maybe hit the pubs a few nights." The snowmobile cost more than his father had saved in eight years for the first mortgage on his house. Jeff: "Well, a few of us are g9nna Colorado to ski. Snot bad. Just three hunnertanady bucks for a week." This just twice what his father earned a month when Jeff was born. So. Mixed with my envy is a good solid streak of rage. Rage that I was born at the wrong time, in the wrong place, in the wrong economic climate. It took me 21 years, and a lot of hard, cheap labor, and the risking of my life many tildes, to get out of this country and see some of the great cities of the world, only to find them bleak and blacked -out.

You reap what you sow Nobody knows ' better than a farmer the truth in the saying that you reap What you sow. . A high-yielding,,profitable Cruet: starts out as clean, high-quality seed. The problem this year is that good seed may be hard to come by. "Sudden frosts last fall have damaged a lot -of cereal seed,'' explains Ben Borrel, an Agricul- ture Canada seed biologist, "In JANIE MATHESON, an Agriculture Canada seed biolog'st, determines percentage germination of a seed sample. Agricultural Tidbits with Adrian Vos Where is Canada heading? Daily we read in the papers that some big corporations make huge profits and still want to raise their prices. We read that labour unions are asking for unreason- ably high wages. It appears to this observer that we may be heading in the same direction as Great Britain by pricing our- selves out of international mar- kets. That unfortunate country has been balancing on the brink of bankruptcy for decades, primarily because labour struck for any reason at all. The same seems to be happening here. Multiple labour unions in one industry make it impossible for that industry to have any pro- longed labour peace. Even if a contract is still valid they some- times break it anyway because some other industry negotiated a better deal. It used to be that an efficient work -force could demand More because of its efficiency. Now they demand more because their union is more efficient. Countries like West Germany, where the workers show more responsibi- lity, have the lowest rate of infla- tion in the world, and those workers are better off for it. What really bugs me is that strikers can legally force other workers off the job as well. They are apparently legally justified not to cross a picket line manned by strikers, even if they are not intending to take on the stricken jobs. It is a mess and it's time that we who suffer the consequences in loss of business and in unneces- sary higher prices start protest- ing more vigorously. Why should you and I suffer because some union boss has riled up his workers to a strike fever 'so he can justify, his astronomical salary? Thirty ships are lying idle in Vancouver Harbour, ready to be loaded with grain for needy people, just because a few hat - heads refuse to weigh and grade the grain. It's outrageous that thousands of people face more threat of starvation because a few hundred overfed people want more money. When they go back to work it will be the longshore- men and after them the railway engineers and then the railway clerks. Government will do nothing until we demand action. rrm some cases a farmer can easily see that his seed is frosted, but most times it is hard to ' tell visually whether the seed is dam- aged?' ' Farmers, particularly those who are seeding back their own grain, should have their seed germination -tested, Mr. Borrel • strongly recoknmends. Many seed cleaning firms, grain pools and other companies perform these tests. Alternative- ly, farmers may mail samples to one of Agriculture Canada's Plant Products' laboratories for testing. "Germination tests are carried out under standard conditions in - growth cabinets with ideal light and heat," explains Mr. Borrel. "Under these conditions we can distinguish between seed lots of high and low germination poten- tial. Of course, ,under poor growing conditions even the best of seed may give a poor result. But lots which give a low germi- nation test result are likely to be worse,in the field even under good growing conditions." Agriculture Canada charges $2.50 for a germination test on corn, soybeans, rapeseed, mus- tard, wheat, oats, barley or rye. For an additional $2.50 a purity test is - done to determine the amount of weed seeds, other crop seeds and foreign material in the seed sample. A one -pound sample (about 2 cups) is required. Tests for forage seeds are slightly more expensive. A germination test for clover seed costs $3 and a purity test for clover is $5. For most grass seeds the germination test costs $6 and the purity test, $8. Agriculture Canada's Plant Products' Division has seed test- ing facilities -at 160 Springhurst Ave., Toronto, Ont., M6K 1C2. Guide dog swims to owner's rescue TORQUAY, England — Ruby, a Labrador guide dog, saved her blind mistress from drowning in the icy wa- ters of Torquay bay by nuz- zling 62 -year-old Mary Davies to within reach of two women who pulled her out with' a rope. Miss Davies, who had had the dog only for seven weeks at the time of the incident, was walking along the harbor when she mistook her direc- tion, ignored the dog's urging and fell 20 feet to the sea. The dog jumped in after her and pushed her toward the harbor steps where she was rescued. Berlin was bombed for the first time by U.S. bombers on Mprch 4. 1944.
