Ontario's economic deficit will be another issue that's almost sure to arise. Although it's not the same as the federal government's na- tional deficit, the words of the campaigns would sound very similar. , Ontario reiidents are not ready for still an- other election. Even the New Democrat leadership in Ontario has some parallels. Provincial leader Michael Cassidy holds some respect from his peers, but just like the federal leader, Ed Broadbent, he does not, realistically stand a chance. Another duplicate issue would be energy. We already know what Premier Davis' views on skyrocketing domestic oil prices. The federal Li- berals told us all about them in their last cam- paign. Even federalism could be a provincial election issue at this stage. How should the province deal with Ottawa? How should Ontario deal with other provinces such as Alberta and Quebec on contentious issues? Many of" the issues will sound much like the issyts of the past two federal elections. Citizens of this province have voted in two fe- deral elections in just under nine months, and they will return to the polls in a municipal elec- tion late in 1980. The same holds true in Ontario, but the parties are reversed. The PCs have the experienced Bill Davis while Stuart Smith is still relatively a roo- kie. - Energy must be an issue. Dramatic price in- ceases yoyld ye devattityng to our pIoyiryee, The claim sounds much like the PC verdict of the Liberal government in Ottawa before the Mity, 1979 federal election. It's almost to the point that voters really don't care whether it's the Liberals or the Conserva- tives, " long as one party shows the initiative to attempt to do a job. Leadership would again be at the top of the list since the Ontario Tories appear, in the eyesof the provincial Grits, to be acting as fat cats. The Progressive Conservative government has gone stagnant in Ontario since it has been in power since World War II. In last May's federal election, the Tories had a leader that was untried in Joe Clark while the Liberals had an old veteran in Pierre Trudeau. Do they really need a provincial election sand- wiched in between alrof_this, political activity? Many of the issues would probably be carbon copies of federal issues. Only the names and the plyees_will be changed. Ontario Liberal leader hinted at the possibility of going to the polls in 1980 last week and pro- claimed that his party will be ready for the elec- tion. But will the residents of Ontario be ready to cast their ballots? Ontario citizens will, for the most part, eier- cise their vote if it comes down ttrthat. But, it will be another campaign that will be hard to take. _ Now that the federal Liberals have been sworn into Office in Ottawa, there are rumblings from Queen's Park that a provincial election may not be far off.

W. hum established Wt At the University of Waterloo we are waging a campaign to inform the public of the implications of Dr. Stephenson‘s decisions. We hope to show that the net result does not bring more money into the system, - it simply sttittsmore of the cost of maintaining the current inadequate level of funding on to the students and their parents. Further open discuss sion on this issue will show how ineffective the Ministry of Colleges and Universities is in solving the problems facing students. We urge you to attend Dr. Stephenson's visit on The problem we are lacing-now is the decision by Dr. Stegtteetsort's Ministry to raise tuition tees by 7.5 percent across Ontario and the arbitrary power given to the in- dividual universities to raise tuition an additional 10 per cent. This has not been accompanied by any major improve ments to the Ontario Student Assistant Program. However, this is not our only objection to the decision made by Dr. Stephenson. All one has to do is look back at the fee increase of $100 in 1977-78 which was supposed to generate $20,000,000 in additional revenue for the universities. This did not hap- pen. Due to the fact that enrollment declined by It,000, no fees or government grants were collected for these 12,000 anticipated students, many of whom were unable to attend university due to this fee hike. Therefore less revenue was received than What was anticipated and many students were denied access to a university education. Public invited to Stephenson 's speech at U W I would like to take this opportunity to extend an open in- vitation to the members of the Kitchener-Waterloo com- munity to visit our campus on Monday, March 17 when Bette Stephenson, Minister of Colleges and Universities, is scheduled to speak. During this visit, we hope to have some questions answered which are of concern to both students and parents. Over twenty percent of the student population at University of Waterloo are from the K-W area. Many of you may have children who are attending other universities in this province who are also greatly affected by Dr. Ste. phenson's decisions. To the Editor: Letters to the editor (way’ bvgiiis' "ii'tiii'j,,l.'..lirii, (,f_;_"_-,'i"',"',i',"id'li,ii':",',ki",i,"ii.,' 1Corrrrrtent WAITING GAMES To the editor: From time to time publicity is given to the 'Shroud of Turin', a cloth of full length with a shadow image of a body supposedly showing the image of Jesus. Roman Catholics believe that the likeness came from its contact with the body of Jesus. Others doubt the claim. Was Jesus buried in a one-piece shroud? No, he was not. God's inspiring words state in John, chapter 20, verses 6 and 7 that in the empty tomb after Jesus was resurrected, the apostle Peter "observed the wrapping: on the ground and saw the piece of cloth that had covered the head not lying with the mappings. but rqlled up in a place by itself." So there were several cloths with a separate one around Jesus's head. Thus the Shroud of Turin could not have been any part of the actual clothes used in Jesus' burial since it is one-piece and Jesus was "bound in wrapping: of cloth" with a separate one used fothis head. John 19:40 and John 2016-7. The accounts of Jesus} burial in Matthew S? :59-60. Mark 15:46 and Luke 23:53 are quite brief, but they all say that the body was "wrapped in line linen". Nothing more needs to be said. Shroud of Turin not me _real McCoy Monday, March 17 at 1:00 p.m. in the Theatre of the Arts, University of Waterloo.
