Students stage invasions By MARCUS GEE About 75 Vancouver Vocational Institute students invaded the downtown headquarters of Vancouver Community College Tuesday to protest community college budget restrictions. Chanting slogans and waving placards, the students marched to the Royal Bank building at Hastings and Granville to confront the VCC administrators who control WI. Students from VCC, WI and Capilano College were on strike Tuesday to protest the drop in educational quality they say will result from the government's college budget restrictions. VCC administration president Tom Gilligan and bursar Len Berg defended administration spending policies against criticism from the angry students who crowded Gilligan's luxurious Royal Tower office. Gilligan told the students the 15 per cent community college budget ceiling announced Friday by education minister Eileen Dailly does not necessarily mean programs will be cut back. "I can't agree there will be cutbacks," he said. "But I cannot say there will not be." —marcus gee photo PROTESTING CUTBACKS, students from Vancouver Community College demonstrate Tuesday outside sumptuous offices of VCC administrator Tom Gilligan. Students were demanding repeal of recent community college budget increase freeze, imposed last week by education minister Eileen Dailly. Act not for residences-report By CHRIS GAINOR A rent review commission task force has recommended that university residences be excluded from the Landlord and Tenant Act, the provincial rentalsman said Tuesday. Barrie Clark said a change in the present act would be needed to exclude university residences from its provisions. The task force report, released last week, says student residences should be exempt because they are publicly supported and are part of a university. Clark told about 70 law students "it is also my view that (residences) should not be included under the act." UBC residences are currently subject to the same percentage rent hike ceiling as other rental accommodation, but no other part of the act is applied to them. The residences should not be subject to rent controls, but all money made in their operation should be ploughed back, he said. Clark slammed the UBC residences, saying "the accommodation is not serving the people it's designed to serve." Most of the people currently in UBC residences are people who could stay with their families for an extra year or two, he said. He denied that rent controls are the cause of B.C.'s housing shortage. "It's cost." "Unless we change our social values a lot, we'll have a low vacancy rate for 10 years." He said that new apartment buildings cannot be built and pay for themselves with rents below $350 per month. "It costs a lot to build an apartment building — more than people can afford. What can government do, now that private enterprise capital can no longer produce low- income rental units?" Clark said there was a housing shortage before rent controls were introduced and that the current housing situation would not be much different without rent controls. "I do not believe you can leave the Landlord and Tenant Act unamended because the housing problem is not solved," Clark said. He said that since rent controls are now being introduced throughout Canada, other provinces have expressed interest in B.C.'s landlord and tenant laws. "We've been besieged with delegations from Saskatchewan and Ontario," he said. He said the rentalsman's office has prepared several proposed amendments to the Landlord and Tenant Act, which were ready for government action "until (the See page 2: CLARK'S Meanwhile 150 Capilano College students marched from the North Vancouver school board office to the West Vancouver school board office, also to protest Dailly's budget restrictions. Students at the VCC headquarters — known as Gilligan's island because of its isolation from the campuses they administrate — scathingly criticized what they called grossly inflated administrative spending at the time of the budget restrictions. Responding to a student's question, Gilligan said his salary this year is $45,000, an increase of 22 per cent over his 1974-75 salary. This was greeted by loud boos from the students. One said: "You are taking a large chunk of our money. There are 5,000 students in this college and only one of you." Another said: "Why don't you spend the money you spent to put mahogany panelling in this place to improve facilities (at WD?" Students told Gilligan they want the VCC administration to join them in protesting Dailly's college budget ceiling. Steve Watson, an organizer of the VCC anti-cutback committee and spokesman for the students, told Gilligan the VCC college council should pressure Dailly to life the budget ceiling. "Our protest is focused on the education department," he said. "The college council should try and make Dailly ease her budget restrictions." "Administrative costs should be cut down," Watson said. "You should spend money on new instructors and classes even if it means the adminstration should go along on a shoestring." Many students complained of poor facilities at WI and called on Gilligan to push the education department for a new WI campus. Outside the building they chanted: "We need a new school, we will fight. Education is a right." Gilligan said he does not know how the college will allocate its provincial grant until: the education department approves a budget for VCC. "The college council has done its very best to provide information to the education department," he said. "The department responded with cutbacks." There is no way we can give you further information. You know as much about next year's budget as we do," Gilligan said. Watson responded that the college council should actively lobby the government for more community college money instead of simply submitting VCC's budgetary needs to the education department. "You didn't want to make a protest. You are standing in the way of our protest. If we have to push you aside we will." After the students left the building, Watson said the college students' next step will be a trip to Victoria to protest budget restrictions there. But he said no definite arrangements have yet been made for a protest at the parliament buildings. Watson said Tuesday's protest showed the VCC administration "is not!
