Frank Smith, coordina- tor of the National Educa- tion Association of Disabled Students, was disappointed with closing plenary speeches which were intended as sum- maries of the workshop dis-

cussions. “Those speeches could have been written before

the forum happened consid- ering how much of the work- shop discussions were re- flected,” Smith said.“They just glossed over everything with no mention of any con- crete suggestions that came up. What about the here and now? I didn’t expect them to reiterate everything that was said but there has been a filtering of informa- tion. There was a lot more consensus and constructive ideas talked about here than they are expressing in their summaries,” said Smith. One highlight of the Forum the gala clos- ing banquet, complete with two dance strawber-

was

orchestra, flaming

live troupes, ries jubilee and a from Saskatchewan Minis- ter of Education Lorne Hep- worth.

“I guess making it lavish

speech

is the government’s way of .

telling people this is impor- tant,” said Tony Macerollo, chair of the Canadian Feder- ation of Students. “But peo- ple forget about strawberries jubilee pretty quickly.”

Many student delegates boycotted the dinner be- cause of the Saskatchewan government’s recent move to

reorganize the college system in Saskatchewan. Two pro-

posed bills would mean that 1500 workers in the affected institutions would lose their status as union members.

The final plenary con- sisted of little more than summary speeches, a profu- sion of thank-yous and vague promises by Secretary of State David Crombie to es- tablish an intergovernmen- tal body to further exam- ine post- secondary educa- tion issues and to continue the work and the spirit of the forum.

“We will be looking for new modalities and new ar- rangements to reflect the new mood expressed through Crombie told a press conference immedi- ately following the closing “The secretariat its work of

this forum,”

plenary. will continue preparing and disseminating materials- arising out of the forum, until that work is fin- ished.” Liberal

Secretary of State critic Bill Rompkey praised the Minis- ter for arranging the Forum but added that the idea of an inter-governmental com- mittee was not a new one. Rompkey handed out copies of a bill he brought forward in the House of Commons over a year ago which calls for the establishment of an

inter-governmental council on Canadian Post-Secondary Edué¢ation.

“The idea isn’t original,” said Rompkey. “Groups like .the Canadian Associa- tion of University Teachers,

The Canadian Federation of §

* Jay. Les is the protes-

Students and the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada have been.talking about this for years.”

“It worries me that peo- ple are leaving here thinking they’ve done their work, that they’ve performed their pub- lic duty on this issue,” said CFS’s Macerollo as delegates left the Forum. .
