     Since Novenber 21, the 
     
     students of twenty-me 
     
     Qudaec CECEPS have been on 
     
     strike. This movenent' 
     
     started November ~8 when 
     
     the students of College 
     
     de Rimouski decided to 
     
     strike until the Minister 
     
     of Education, Jacques—Yvan 
     
     Marin, assents to their 
     
     demands. They want the 
     
     abolition of a minimal 
     
     contribution by students 
     
     towards their own loans 
     
     even if they do not work -

     The ZOO-mile fisheries management zone 
     
     gives Canada the opportunity to become the 
     
     number one fish exporter in the world. 
     
    

    
     For Atlantic Canada. this opportunity could 
     
     mean a growing. renewable resource industry 
     
     that would stimulate the economy in the way 
     
     that oil has stimulated the economy of 
     
    
   
   
    
     For Canada as a whole, the opportunity 
     
     could mean more exports, a stronger dollar 
     
     and a reduction in regional disparity. 
     
     Taking l‘ull advantage of the opportunity 
     
     involves a number of complex considerations 
     
     ' and policies. One consideration is the need 
     
     for a reasonable balance between the inshore 
     
     fishery and the othhore fishery. The 
     
     existence of both is essential. There is room 
     
     for expansion in both the inshore and 
     
    
   
   
    
     Policies that recognize the need for this 
     
     balance, and that recognize that competing 
     
     internationally requires size. expertise, 
     
     technology, financial resources and continuity 
     
     of supply throughout the year, are essential

     to taking advantage of the opportunity. 
     
     There is a time limit. 
     
    

    
     If Canada does not move quickly to develop 
     
     the freezer-trawler technology required to 
     
     catch more fish within ourjurisdiction, we 
     
     will continue to see a large foreign fishing 
     
    
   
   
    
     fleet in our waters 77 perhaps for all time. 
     
     The opportunity will be lost.

     A under—represented. , The 
     
    
   
   
    
     embraced five goals; 
     
     democratization of 
     
     teaching, polyvalency, 
     
     continuing education, 
     
     school ideology centered 
     
     on the student, and a 
     
     ccntributim towards . . 
     
     Quebec's eomanic. develq). 
     
    
   
   
    
     After a study of the 
     
     academic system, student 
     
     leaders were not satisfied 
     
     with the progress made. 
     
     Educatim still remains a 
     
     privilege but not a real 
     
     right. As the academic 
     
     level getshigher, stud— 
     
     ents from the masses 
     
     become proportionally 
     
    
   
   
    
     administrative structures 
     
     have not given real power 
     
     to parents, students or 
     
     professors, who are under~ 
     
     represented at decision 
     
     levels. Contrary to the 
     
     goal of polyvalency, flue 
     
     education system institute 
     
     a too early specialization 
     
     by students and, thus, 
     
     they do not get an 
     
     adequate general formation. 
     
    
   
   
    
     In such a framework, 
     
     continuing education plays 
     
     a complementary part, 
     
     serving to make up for 
     
     failures in general 
     
     formation instead of 
     
     contributing to the en- 
     
     richnent of the person; 
     
     it responds, instead, to 
     
     the technical needs of 
     
     business. The economic 
     
     deveth of Quebec 
     
     boils dam to unemployed 
     
     graduates. Budgetary 
     
     restrictions of the 
     
     Department of Educatim 
     
     have caused a deterioratim 
     
     of the academic system in 
     
     all respects. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     The struggle of Quebec 
     
     students is getting the 
     
     support of other 
     
     Canadian students. Last 
     
     Tuesday, the F.E.U.M. 
     
     (Universite de Mmctm 
     
     Students Federatim) 
     
     decided to issue a press 
     
     release to support the 
     
     striking Quebec students. 
     
     It is possible that this 
     
     strike may becate ex- 
     
     tensive: last sumer the 
     
     Natimal Students Union 
     
     stated the possibility of 
     
     a mobilization by Fall 78 
     
     for the students of 
     
     mtario and Newfoundland 
     
     universities concerning 
     
     their loans and bursaries 
     
     and increasing menploryment 
     
     for students.
