Kelowna (CUP) — The tudent newspaper at kanagan College is dead.

After a year and a half f wrangling with its stu- ent council and publish- g off-campus without the inds entitled to it, the Go- ard has ceased operations.

The Goliard was dealt s final blow when the resent executive, elected is April, learned that aff members failed to re-’ ew the Goliard Publica- ons Society’s incorpora- on with the B.C. Regis- ar.

The Goliard Publica- ons . Society has en struck from the B.C. egister of Companies, and d its assets seized by the elowna Campus student uncil executive.

The councillors were en able to take posses- n of the paper’s equip- ent in the name of the Go- rd Publications Society’s embers, the students of anagan College.

Throughout the entire spute, the Goliard main- ined that the council ed the paper a $4 per

student levy. The paper was autonomous from the council and had won the guaranteed fee in a campus- wide referendum in 1983.

Ian Case, a former Go- liard board member, said the paper’s problems began when last year’s executive

withheld paper funds, and trashed all copies of two is- sues of the Goliard.

The loss

_ of the Goliard’s society sta-

tus marked the staff’s last

solid ground in its bid for fi-

nancial autonomy from the council. i

The executive intends to carry out its plan of starting a new student pa- per, said council co-chair, Thal Poonian. The new pa- per will most likely exist as a sub-committee of the ex- ecutive, pending a change in the council’s constitution later this month, said Poo- nian.

But Case says the new paper’s relationship to the council executive worries him.

“The executive say they want an ‘entirely fresh start,’ which

sounded quite familiar to me,” said Case, referring to a similar phrase used by Premier Bill Vander Zalm in last fall’s provincial elec-

tion campaign.

Case said the paper will likely be run by an editor hired by, and directly an- swerable to the executive - a set-up he believes would seriously hamper the pa- per’s editorial freedom.

Poonian confirmed Case’s description of the editor’s role, but says that “there will be more than adequate autonomy (from the executive).”

Case fears the new pa- per will be less likely to cover education and global issues, something for which the Goliard was noted.

The fate of the new pa- per lies with the students

Autonomy means direct student editorial control and financial responsibility.

The Goliard was founded in 1979. In 1983, the paper became an edi- torially autonomous, regis- tered publishing society. =

CORRECTION CORRECTION

The letter from UPEI President Eliot as it appeared

in last week’s Gem was erroneous.

In the second para-

graph, the word ‘here’ was mistakenly inserted before the

phrase “the the University of...”.

”

In the last paragraph,

the phrase ‘each and every’ should read “each”. The Gem apologizes for this unintentional mangling of the original

letter.
