Suggested by many as the Harris government's last budget before going to the polls, it focused on the continuing themes of controlling spending and delivering tax cuts: There were, however, several measures of interest, generally positive, for Ontario's universities. These included: - A $150 million Access to Opportuni• ties Program to double the number of graduates from Ontario universities over 3 years in computer science and high-demand engineering programs. There will be a requirement that industry "match startup costs" for this program. -- A commitment of $135 million over the next three years to match the Canada Foundation for Innovation's initial awards to Ontario's universities and research institutes. -- An additional $29 million in annual grants, phased in over three years, will recognize inequitable funding to certain universities that have increased students' access to post-secondary education, and enhanced their job opportunities. The Minister of Education and Training will be announcing details of this initiative. Seventyfive million, $25 million of which must be raised in the private sector, will be provided for new graduate scholarships in science and technology over the next 10 years. -- A $75 million program over 10 years, again in partnership with the private sector, will fund research excellence awards to support promising researchers. - A new student assistance program is being designed to consolidate the federal Millennium Fund and both federal and provincial student loan programs. This 10year, $9 billion program entails no new funding and is a restructuring of previously announced or ongoing programs. In addition, there were other items like harmonizing Ontario's tax credits with those announced in the federal budget, which will help full and part-time students. Although Ontario's base funding on a per capita basis for its universities remains 10th among the provinces, it's my view that some of the universities' concerns have been recognized and, from that perspective, the budget contains good news. Fee Deregulation On December 15, 1997, the Minister of Finance announced a framework for postsecondary tuition policy which included the deregulation of graduate fees and those for certain professional programs. The Ministry of Education and Training provided details of this on May 6, 1998. In addition to the previously announced maximum average tuition increase of 10 per cent for programs with regulated fees, MET has announced: -- Universities may introduce additional cost recovery for: i) graduate programs; ii) undergraduate professional programs in Business/Commerce (second-entry programs only), Dentistry, Law, Medicine, Optometry, Pharmacy and Veterinary Medicine; and iii) undergraduate engineering and/or computer science, following the approval I.Akehead Univenity, May, 1998 by the Minister of Education and Training of a plan from the university to double the number of entry-level spaces in computer science and/or high demand fields of engineering by September 2000, with the expectation of doubling total enrolment in these programs by 2003-04. -- Fees for visa students were previously deregulated. -- 30 per cent of the annual increase in tuition fee revenues will continue to be set aside for needs-based bursaries.

Farewell Ian Ian Cull, Lakehead's Coordinator, Counselling and Careers Centre, will be leaving Lakehead to take a new position as Dean of Students at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, on June 1, 1998. "Ian has contributed to the success and wellbeing of many Lakehead students and was instrumental in developing the University's EAP program and our Anti-Racism policy," says Director of Student Services and Community Relations Joy Himmelman. "His support to students and the University will be greatly missed. " Ian Cull has been with Lakehead for nine years. Welcome Andrew Andrew Hacquoil was hired in May to work as the Manager, Research & International Development Services in the Office of Graduate Studies & Research. He is replacing Anne Klymenko who is on maternity leave. Hacquoil has a Master's degree in history from Lakehead. Next month Lakehead will say farewell to the founder of the Lakehead University Department of Music who is widely regarded as a builder, an accomplished administrator and fund-raiser. Dr. Glen Carruthers was hired 10 years ago to be Lakehead University's first Chair and full-time faculty member in the Department of Music. He joined Lakehead at a time when the Department of Fine Arts was being divided into two separate entities: the Department of Music and the Department of Visual Arts. Over the years, Carruthers has been part of the Department moving to Cornwall School and then back to the main campus when the brand new William H. Buset Centre for Music and Visual Arts opened in 1992. Carruthers' accomplishments and abilities have been praised by many including former president Dr. Robert Rosehart who said, ''When Glen arrived on the scene, the music program was virtually non-existent Today, it is a viable program and one that can • demonstrate close ties to the community. Much of this credit belongs to Glen." Looking back on what he and his colleagues have accomplished, Carruthers says, "We've done much to raise the standard of music education within the community. The Department has steadily grown in terms of its national profile, the quality of our incoming students and, more importantly, in the quality of our outgoing students." Carruthers received his BMus. from Brandon in 1977, his MA in Canadian Studies from Carleton University in 1981, and his PhD. in musicology from the University of Victoria in 1986. He has served on Boards of Directors of numerous arts groups and cultural organizations at a local, regional and national level, including the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra and the Canadian Music Centre. As an active researcher, Carruthers' publications span more than a decade, and include a book entitled "A Celebration of Canada's Arts 1930-1970" and more than 30 other abstracts, reviews, papers and presentations.
