The public works committee last night decided to bring the matter of providing services to the college, on Simcoe Street North, just north of Oshawa, before the next meeting of city council. Fred Crome, city commis- sioner of works, reported that by the third year of the col- lege's operation, student en- rollment will jump from an ini- tial 250 to 600. Ultimately said Mr. Crome, the school hopes for an enrolment of 10,000 stu- dents and a teaching staff of 00. SEWAGE Water and sewage facil:ties for the first two years have already been provided, with the approval of the Ontario Water Resources commission, to serv- ice the temporary quarters of the college. The school will use a sewage lagoon in the near vicinity. But college officials are ask- ing the city to provide services for the third year when the permanent buildings have been constructed and the school has an increased enrollment. The lagoon will 'not be serviceable | College Services Posing Problems Committee Suggesting Discussion By Council The college also reported that since other people in the area will be using the services the cost of the project should- n't be charged to the school. | Mr. Crome estimates the city could provide service \facilities for a total of 5,000 students, This would entail put- ting a sewer system down Sim- coe Street to the Oshawa Creek and pumping the water from there into a system that would reach the college. The cost of this project would be an estimated $102,000. He also said for this plan to succeed, land in the watershed area surrounding this system would have to be frozen from future development. He stated that the system had the capa- city to service the college alone and would be unable to handle residential needs. NEW PLAN Mr. Crome emphasized that this plan could only operate with a school population of 5,000. He added that if the fig- ures were correct and 10,000 Students would eventually at- tend the college a new plan will have to be developed. Con.

TALKS TO 300 WHITBY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS Freedom Advocated In Everything From Sex To Education By TONI MAHEUX of The Times Staff Richard J. Needham, a 54- year-old newspaper columnist and "pied piper' for a large youth following, told about 300 students in Whitby yesterday there should be freedom in everything from sex to educa- tion. The Toronto Globe and Mail writer, visiting Henry Street High School to launch 'School Spirit Week" aroused strong re- actions from both students and teachers. Mr. Needham advocated free- dom of drink, freedom of sex, voluntary education and aboli- tion of all laws except those restraining murder and prop- erty damage. He said he would like to see a transfer of power from the old to the young which he said would mean lowering the voting age to 18 from 21. The awe-inspiring speaker said '"'stupid, crutty, laws' on drinking, sex and gambling are subjecting people to 'stupid persecution', He said there are many laws '"'on the books' which shouldn't be there and the only way to change them is to refuse to obey them. "Sex, liquor and gambling laws are not worth observing and I break them every chance I get,"' he said. "It would be my guess that Oil one third of all the students in this audience have already broken the liquor laws," said Mr. Needham, a veteran speak- er of some 300 other such gath- erings. VOLUNTARY EDUCATION | A high school drop-out in Ire- land 40 years ago, but a self- professed $20,000 bread winner, Mr. Needham said there should be voluntary education for all people. 'Students should be al- lowed to attend or stay away from classes at will --. because it is their loss only and they should be there only because they want to be." He said teachers should be NEWSPAPER.COLUMNIST-RICHARD NEEDHAM MEETS STUDENTS free to teach what they like and only to students willing to learn and those "good" teachers drawing the biggest attendance Should receive the best salaries.

POLITICS Strongly urging youths to en- ter the field of politics, Mr. Needham said more than one half of Canada's population is under the age of 25 but Cana- dian politics are run for those who are 85 years and over.

'The 1.5 per cent of Canadian money which we spend on defence should be dis- tributed among each citizen at the age of 18." "Will it be retroactive?" a teacher retorted. Mr. Needham said senate membership, which is restrict- ed to persons 30 years of age and over, should be revised to FQ restrict it to persons 30 years of age and under. Asked why he doesn't enter politics himself, he said: "T have nothing but contempt for the present situation -- and besides what party would have me?

Mr. Needham also painted the Canadian character with various sorts of drabby colors. He said Canadians when asked if they are happy, reply that they guess they are. He said they are suspicious, worrysome, guilt - ridden, fearful, anxious and docile.
