principal rod leonard and intro duced by students council presi dent duff wallis mr sorbara raised a few eyeb rows when he stressed the fact a university or college degree is not a be all end all as far as education is concerned nor he said should one consider himself herself a fa ilure if that degree doesnt lead to the job of hisher original choice youre there to learn how to continue to learn- he said he pointed to the fact many people change careers four and five times in their lifetimes nothings ever over he stated theres always another opportunity waiting around the corner he described education as an enjoyable walk through a glorious forest enormously blessed although admitting that lead ers can do more he described the people of canada as enor mously blessed here we talk about separate school funding rather than chil dren starving in the streets he said mr sorbara urged students to get involved in the community once positions have been secured he said while only one or two might emerge as politicians at the federal or provincial levels there are other areas where one can assist hisher town and com munity he also urged his listeners to keep a watchful eye on those peo ple who choose politics as a voca tion not second class mr sorbara explained the dif ferences between university and community college education he stressed the fact that community college instruction is not second class as many young people seem to believe there are 22 community col leges in ontario and 18 universi ties some have specific roles the speaker said mr sorbara described uni versity and college students as a privileged class for every dol lar spent by a student the tax payer spends three to five dollars he explained about 66 per cent of all students receive assistance through gov ernment grants and loans he said money should never be a bar rier to education he stated departmental exams council president duff wallis raised the question of departmen tal exams less than a dozen stu dents responded in favor this would eliminate bias the president saidand establish a general standard across the pro vince mr sorbara observed that de partmental exams were once a main criteria
