In response to a question about economic development, Councillor John St. Amand said he thinks enough public money has been spent on eco- nomic development for now, citing the progress made on the Aguasabon Beach Develop- ment Plan. "T'd like to see private busi- nesses take up the initiative," St. Amand said. The idea of hiring an eco- nomic development officer got a similarly chilly reception. "T haven't seen the proof in the pudding where (an econom- ic development officer) has "Economically _ it would make sense, but morally, it's not going to happen."

"I ask the same question," said trustee candidate Marilyn Chapman. "It shouldn't be that way." "It's a split campus -- it's just a way of life," said trustee Jon Ferguson. "As long as you have a split campus, it's going to happen." But trustee candidate Robert Bagdon disagreed. "T think there's no need for the fundamental courses 'not to be offered," he said. Chapman said she wanted to "squash" rumours that she sup- ported closing the Schreiber campus. She did say she supported the idea of selling school land near Marathon. "If the property is near Marathon what good is it doing us here?" she said.

"Economically it would make sense, but morally, it's not going to happen," he said.
