Campus gathers today! ”kekking is a long UBC student tradition

which puts out results The first Trek resulted in the present campus

By ROBERT BEYNON On a Saturday in October, 1922

most of UBC’s 1,176 students marched across downtown Vancou- ver, drove out to Sasamat and Tenth and then trudged along a dirt logging road to UBC’s present cam- pus.

Once there they posed on the skeleton of the present Chemistry building, gave speeches, cavorted

for a movie camera and took photos.

The march was a symbolic ges- ture protesting the provincial gov- ernment’s failure to build a Point Grey campus in 1908. UBC students ‘were, at that time, studying in at- tics, tents and a church basement at a site near present-day Vancouver General Hospital.

In the spring of 1922 the student

society organized a petition and ga- thered 15,000 signatures over the summer - but the government wasn’t impressed. The students re- organized, planned, and gathered another 41,000 signatures.

Shortly after the initial trek in November, student leaders went to the legislature and presented prem- ier John Oliver with the petitions. A week later he and his government voted $1.5 million for immediate construction of the Point Grey cam- pus.

This initial, successful campaign was the result of a half year of hard work and coordination by the stu- dent’s Publicity Campaign Com- mittee who organized “the Pilgrim-

People meet at UBC clock tower, then march downtown to Robson square

If you haven’t heard about the Great Trek until now, you can still check it out today.

Here’s what’s happening. At 12:30 p.m., students, faculty and staff will gather outside UBC’s Clock tower. Media will be there. Great Trek committee co-chair Philip Resnick says if students don’t have much time due to classes, this event will be short and easy to attend.

At 1:15 p.m. people will move on past the bus loop and walk along University Boulevard to the univer- sity gates at Alma and Tenth Avenue. Marchers will stick to the sidewalks, said Resnick, because the Provincial government owns the boulevard and their policies are be ing protested.

At the Gates there will be some chartered buses available to take students to a downtown rally.

Others will take public buses, and some small groups will walk the 15 km to Robson Square distributing leaflets and Ubysseys. The groups must be small; said Resnick, because groups of 30 or more need a parade permit.

There will be another rally at the Vancouver Art Gallery plaza at 3:30 p.m., where representatives from Simon Fraser University and other post-secondary institutions will show up. SFU is holding a similar trek today.

There will be speakers downtown and more media coverage. “The people we want are the media. The media will be there,” said Resnick.

Many UBC groups have sup- ported the trek, including the Alma Mater Society, the Teachers Assistants Union, almost all unde rg radua te soc i e t i e s , t he Graduate Students Society, and the faculty association.

Board mav violate decision on fees ~ ~ -

B] RENATE BOERNER The UBC board of governors will violate

an agreement made with the Alma Mater Society in 1968 if it imposes a $32 athletic fee on students as proposed at its last meeting.

A clause in the April 3, 1968 referendum on athletic fees states that “the student athletic fee will neither be increased nor decreased without a referendum.”

“The university understood all implica- tions of this and agreed by a formal letter,” said student board member Don Holubitsky Monday. He added Neil Risebrough, associate vice president student services and the prime mover behind imposing the fee, is aware of the 1968 agreement.

Holubitsky charges that UBC’s ad-

ministration is “talking out of two sides of their face,” by claiming athletics is a priority while trying to make students pay for it. The board cut the university contribution to athletics 10 per cent for 1984-85.

ment Monday. Risebrough could not be reached for com-

Under the proposal which came before the board’s Feb. 7 meeting and will be voted on at the March 7 meeting, athletic fees will jump from seven dollars to $32 for all students enrolled in nine or more units. The fee would support intramurals, recreation, intercollegiate teams, and a capital fund for building facilities, said Holubitsky, adding a major priority would be reinstating teams

dropped due to cuts. But Holubitsky said .he board has propos-

ed no management stl’ucture to administer the hundreds of thousands of dollars the fee would raise annually. He said a student referendum should be held instead.

The proposed fee cannot be justified by the high fees at other Canadian universities, he said. This is because other campus ad- ministrations have paid for athletic facilities, he said, while at UBC all athletics facilities except the Osborne gym have been student- financed.

I f the fee passes, student contributions to athletics will increase from 35 to 70 per cent while the university portion goes down, he said. “ I think this will be voted in over stu-

dent objection and without regard for s tu- dent control.”

Alma Mater Society president Glenna Chestnutt said the AMS opposes the fee, which she said sets a precedent for the board levying student fees without students voting on them. The AMS will also push for a strong athletic funds management board, she said.

Rebecca Turner, arts 4, said it is a lot of money and “since I’m not involved in athletics at all i t seems like a fairly large jump.”

Peter Papac, commerce 2 , said the board should say exactly what the money is for. “ I f it’s for tennis courts or something, I’m definitely against it.”

- Engineering has high unemployment -

Unemployment low in arts B) CHARLIE FIDELMAN

Unemployment rates have in - creased for graduates of many UBC programs but are surprisingly low in arts, a survey done by UBC’s stu- dent counselling and resources cen- tre shows.

The highest unemployment rates according to the survey, last done in 1980, were for graduates o f agriculture, nursing, and accoun- ting with rates of 23.3, 25.8 and 22.6 per cent respectihcly. The survey found in 1980 only four per cent of agriculture graduates and 4.5 per cent of accounting graduates without jobs, while every graduating nurse found uork.

Counselling centre director Dick Shirran said, “We’re trying to gi\e people a realistic idea of what students d o with various types of degrees.” The survey documents the post-graduate activities of near- ly 90 per cent of the 3,777 1984 graduates from 21 faculties and schools.

Other hard h i t faculties were forestry and applied science, with unemployment jumping to 21.1 per cent from 1.6 and .9 per cent

respectively in 1980. Commerce graduates, who only had a 2.8 per cent 1980 unemployment rate, now face 17.4 per cent.

Shirran attributes the high unemployment ra tes to the economic recession. But he said he must be cautious generalizing from the survey because trends i n employment are cyclical. “Students have to be careful not to give up in their field and not t o react too quickly to surveys wch as this one,” said Shirran.

Art5 had a surprisingly I O U unemployment rate in the survey - 8.8 pcr cent - which is actually an incretse from the 1980 rate of 3.2 per x n t . Graduates in dental hygiene, rehabilitation medicine, pharmacy and landscape architec- ture all found jobs.

AsLed i f arts students have better employment prospects, Shirran said: ‘The survey means graduates of ergineering, applied sciences,’ and forestry wait around for a job in the:r fleld but arts graduates take just about anything.”

Cornmunity relations spokesper-

Smith will not discuss letters detail By ROBBY ROBERTSON

The possible elimination of entire UBC programs, departments, and schools is a topic vice president aca- demic Robert Smith refuses to dis- c u s s ~ , although it is his plan.

Smith said Monday he sent letters to each of UBC’s 12 faculties as part of “the first stage of a very complicated budget planning pro- cess.” At stake are programs uni- que to the B.C. university system.

Although he said the letters were not confidential, he refused to dis- cuss areas that could be eliminated.

Smith also refused to discuss the

logic behind his letters, which con- cern the possible elimination of cer- tain programs. And he denied that this information could be of rele- vance to students in planning their academic futures.

“Nothing whatsoever has been done to anyone,” Smith said.

Geophysics and astronomy head T.K. Menon said he thought Smith was not aware of important facts about his department.

“There is no geophysics or as- tronomy anyplace else in B.C. In terms of research, we are one of the largest facilities in North America.

We get more money from outside than from the university,” Menon said.

“Certainly with the B.C. mining industry, oil industry and all that, to not have a department of geo- physics and astronomy seems strange.”

Menon said he thought it strange that oceanography, another science faculty department, should have to justify its existence. “It looks pretty ridiculous for someone on the west coast to have to go to Alberta to study oceanography,” Menon said.

Science dean C . V . Finnegan

denie’d he had gotten a letter from Smit t , which mentioned the poss- ible elimination of the departments of astronomy, oceanography and geopt ysics. ‘‘I know nothing about it,” Finnegan said and then hung UP.

Acting oceanography head Alan Lewis said he knew of the letter, which Smith said he wrote, but could not talk about it. “ I was re- queswd not to tell you anything,” he sai(l.

Architecture director Douglas Shadbolt, asked to justify his de- partmmt’s existence, said that it is

Pedersen worried about tuition from 220 students to 175 over the last three to four years,” he added.

Othtsr areas Smith mentioned could be eliminated include:

0 tjle school of family and nutri- tional sciences and the religious studie: department in the arts fac- ulty 9

0 the department of administra- tion, adult, and higher education in the education faculty, and

0 the history of science and medicine program in the medicine faculty.

Al l o f these fields of study are unique within the B.C. university system

Smith said the letters represent only the first step in the downsizing process. But medicine dean William Webber said the questions are still important.

“One has to assume that because he asked specific questions, he has a pretty clear idea of what he’s look- ing at,” Webber said.

son Jim Banham said despite dent enrolment in these areas is still steady. “Arts people often don’t see their education as job training, instead they are learning something out of sheer interest.”

“They’ll take jobs in areas not aligned to their majors in the hope of eventually getting to their in- terests,” he added.

English graduate Eric Eggertsori said Monday he is looking for uork anywhere in Canada. “I’d rather be working in Yellowknife than be on uelfarc in Vancouver,” he said.

Eggertson said when he started UBC most of his friends were enter- ing applied sciences and thought he was crazy to go into English. But Eggertqon said nom his job pro- spects are as good o r betti:: than those of his engineer friends.

Steep differential fees for foreign students planned

The board of governors votes March 7 on a proposal to make foreign undergraduate students pay 2.5 times the regular tuition, but the motive behind the proposal is n o t money, a student board of governor member says.

“ I n terms of this being a finan- cially necessary move there’s no justification for it,” said Don Holubitsky Monday. “The only justification is a policy statement. It’s a redneck polic);.”

Uninformed peole in B.C. who fear UBC is being taken over by foreigners are putting pressure on government and public bodies, Holubitsky said, adding he thinks the board will think carefully before passing the increase. Foreign undergraduate students now pay 1.5 times what Canadian students

But Holubitsky said UBC is under pressure from Simon Fraser University to raise the fees. Last year UBC and SFU both considered differential fees 2 .5 times the nor- mal, but at UBC’s meeting the day before SFU’s, UBC decided to make them only 1.5 times higher. SFU “chickened out” and settled on 1.75 but wants UBC this year to raise its fees again so there will be more support when SFU does, Holubitsky said.

There are only 294 undergraduate visa students at UBC, four per cent of UBC’s undergraduate popula- tion, said community relations spokesperson Jim Banaham. Ten per cent of SFU students are visa students, said Holubitsky.

UBC assistant registrar Peter Hennessy said foreign students pose no financial burdens on B.C. because when they come through immigration they must have at least

pay.

Alumni raises funds UBC's Alumni Association is in

the midst of a campaign to raise $334,000 from alumni for an en- dowment fund guaranteeing money for student aid.

Alumni spokesperson Pat Pinder said Friday the association has rais- ed $271 ,OOO from alumni. Alumni donations will be matched dollar for dollar by both UBC's ad- ministration and the Vancouver Foundation, she said.

The alumni hopes for a one million dollar endowment fund pro- viding $100,000 in scholarships an- nually for students Pinder said.

The alumni awarded $l00,OOO to students at a Jan. 23 reception. Some of the scholarships and bur- saries included 35 Norman Macken- zie scholarshim for different B.C.

Louise Grant, Alumni scholar- ship and bursary committee chair, said at the reception: "The economic difficulties facing today's students coupled with increases i n tuition fees make scholarships and bursaries increasingly important. One of the Alumni Association's major priorities is to increase its aid to students."

Pinder said students wanting more information should contact the awards office.

Government harms education By VICTOR WONG

Provincial government policies on universities and special economic development zones may do the pro- vince more harm than good, ac- cording to two papers released by the B.C. Economic Policy Institute Monday.

The first study, written by UBC economics professor G.C. Archi- bald, says the current provincial policies are undermining the quality of university education in B.C. The study, written before University of Victoria president Howard Petch said government officials told him cutting certain programs could

Expo creates cheap student employment

The vast majority of jobs at Expo 86 will pay minimum wage, the B.C. Federation of Labor president said Friday.

Art Kube said most jobs the megaproject provides in areas rang- ing from catering services to ticket sales will pay $3.65 per hour. Kube said he did not know exactly how many jobs Expo would create or what the wage distribution would be.

Kube added Expo will not benefit workers, and only students living at home will be helped by such wages. “How will the student be able to pay tuition and living expenses for the year when they can barely earn enough money to survive the sum- mer?” Kube said.

“This is supposed ‘ t o be an economic boom for everyone in the province yet the worker is being left out,” he added.

B.C.’s unemployment rate is se- cond highest in Canada. Kube said the federation will attempt to organize Expo workers into a union.

The Canadian Federation of Students supports the federation’s attempt to improve student wages, said Donna Morgan, CFS Pacific executive officer. She said the CFS did a study last year which found the average student would need to earn $15 an hour for the summer to cover school year costs. These range between four and five thousand dollars for students not living at home.

Brad Philley, Expo public rela- tions officer, said he would not comment on Expo wages yet and did not know when the facts would be available. “Wages and pricing are being done by private com- panies and I d o not know when they will be made public.”

Arms race By JAMES YOUNG

The arms race, both nuclear and conventional, may result in a devas- tating breakdown of the Canadian, American and world economies, a Vancouver journalist said Satur- day.

“The figures show that our econ- omy may collapsc ecen before we run into a nuclear explosion,” said Geoff Meggs, editor of the union paper, The Fisherman, at the an- nual general meeting of the Van- couver Peace Assembly.

mean budget increases, suggests the B.C. government might attempt to influence university spending policy in the face of severe cutbacks.

Archibald’s study states that although federal funding for B.C. universities increased by $30 million over the past two years, provincial university spending fell by $47 mil- lion over the same period. “The federal government, of course, has no say in university policy, and Vic- toria is demanding a bigger say,” Archibald writes.

Archibald suggests current gov- ernment policy is moving toward a

more centralized control of univer- sities.

He defends tenure by saying it protected professors against politi- cians and their own peers. “One has to conclude that academic tenure is like democracy; it is certainly not perfect, but no one has yet invented anything better.”

The second study, written by fel- low economics professor David Donaldson, says the creation of special enterprise zones, with eco- nomic incentives such as tax conces- sions and restricted trade union ac- tivity, would confer little if any

benefits to B.C. “The gains would be small, but the costs would be high,” Donaldson said in the fa- culty club at a press conference re- leasing the two studies.

Donaldson says in his study any employment creation in such a zone would be minimal, since B.C.’s high wage scale would encourage foreign firms located in the zone to use automated production meth- ods. He suggests such costs coupled with cutbacks in education will re- duce the average skill levels of B.C. workers. “Our children would miss out on becoming skilled workers,”

he said at the press conference. Donaldson said the papers had

not been sent to Victoria but would be mailed this week.

Herbert Grubel, a Simon Fraser University economics professor who wrote a pamphlet on special enterprise zones for the conserva- tive Fraser Institute think tank, said the latter paper relied on question- able assumptions. “The whole thing depends on what they’regoing to do in the zones, and how does he know what they’re going to do?” he said. “I find it interesting that he doesn’t know the facts, yet he knows the consequences already.”

Programs to be sliced haphazardly By PATH FLATHER

Program cuts will definitely be made next year but how decisions will be made is a subjective exercise, LTBC’s president told 25 student senators Monday.

“This is not a totally scientific ex- ercise,’’ said George Pedersen in SUB 205, referring to the cuts. He said he did not see how program cuts could be avoided if faculty receive a “very modest” increase, the first in two years, even if tuition rises 10 per cent.

Pedersen and senate budget com-

mittee chair Geoffrey Scudder discussed how decisions to cut will be made, but it became clear the decisions reshaping UBC will be ex- clusive and confidential.

ANALYSIS Senate budget committee last

year developed a vague set of criteria by which cuts would be made. Programs were theoretically divided into core, core-related, and non-core, with the latter being cut first. But the committee never

publicly defined what programs fit these three categories.

According t o Pedersen Monday, vice president academic Robert Smith then worked closely with four deans representing fine arts, medicine, the natural sciences and engineering, and the social sciences, and wrote a confidential report us- ing the senate committee criteria. This report is still not public.

Pedersen admitted under senator questioning: “It’s a difficult issue, knowing who should make that decision (what to cut).” But ap- parelltly Pedersen has decided, and the main actor is Smith.

Pedersen said the letters Smith sent I O all 12 faculties recently singl- ing out specific programs as needlng justification do not repre- sent final decisions. Responses to the letters will be used, said Pedersen, by the administration and the senate budget committee when deciding cuts. Again, the let- ters are not public although The Ubyssey has been leaked copies of two of them.

Scudder said the next stop is for Smith to “put his ideas together.” Privetely again, of course.

The ideas of Smith and the budget committee must eventually

become public because any pro- gram cuts must go through senate and the board of governors. Both Scudder and Smith said Monday judging quality and programs will be very hard, especially with the humanities.

“Quite honestly that’s toughest. When you try to start judging the quality of fine arts against the quali- ty of chemistry, that’s hard,” said Scudder. Scudder said anything a n y o n e t h i n k s m i g h t b e “ non-core,” whatever it is, is being scrutinized closely.

The time frame on public debate regarding cuts may be short, though. Pedersen told the senators he expects the provincial govern- ment budget for 1985-86 in mid- March. “We must implement this on the first of April,” he added.

If there is a deficit, then pro- grams will have to be cut and facul- ty fired effective April I , he said. Unless cuts are made retroacthe after this time, it is hard to see how there can be real public debate in two weeks. But Smith, the budget committee, and deans have been debating the priorities privately for much longer, and it seems possible their decisions will escape close ex- amination.

George woos business UBC's president is taking the

university's case to downtown businesses today in a luncheon ad- dress, while UBC will be rallying near the Clock Tower against education cutbacks.

George Pedersen will speak on the role universities can play in the economy at 1 p.m. at a $20 per head luncheon in the Hotel Georgia Ballroom, said Margaret Nevin, UBC vice Monday. Pedersen will address the society for Corporate Planners, the Association of Pro- fessional Economists, and the In- stitute of Management Consultants, she said.

"Dr. Pedersen will be talking about the important position the U.S., Japan are now in because of the massive investment in research they're making." Nevin said these two countries are at the forefront of the information and technology race becaue they are concentrating on improving their high tech in- dustries and educationg highly skill- ed personnel.

Pedersen will also discuss the ef- fects of provincial government restraint at UBC and the role UBC can play in a provincial economic recovery, said Nevin.

Profit motive in arms race From page 5

And under the burden of military spending, the American economy could collapse like a house of cards, Meggs said.

"Defense money, spent on guns and armaments is dead money: not one cent of goods are brought onto the market by military expendi- tures."

The strong American dollar and the low rate of inflation are tempor- ary phenomena, effectively deval- uing foreign currencies and export- ing inflation to Canada and other trading partners, he said.

The Third World is most severely affected by the arms race which in- tensifies existing conditions of scar- city and contributes to their mili-

tarization. Meggs said the profit motive is a

factor in the continuation of the arms race. The average rate of pro- fit for companies dependent on military production wgs 16.5 per cent in the period 1976-78, while profits in civilian production were 10.5 per cent, Meggs said.

Another factor is the overlap be- tween leaders of industry and the military. "In 1969, there were 2,077 retired Pentagon employees, and I'm talk- ing about people like generals and above, who were employed by arms manufacturers. So there's a com- plete overlap between the military leadership of the U.S. and its in- dustrial arm."

By KEVIN KROCHAK Reprinted from the Manitoban

Canadian University Press

Buddy Loyie is a soft-spoken which belies his passionate concern for native people. His voice rises noticeably as he talks about the inequities in native education.

“Granted, in the past few years some strides have been made,” he says, hands chopping the air in em- phasis. “But there’s still a long way to go before you can call the native educational system equal to anything found in a white middle- class neighborhood.”

The problem with education is not funding, says Loyie, a native student advisor at the University of Manitoba, but a lack of real direc- tion and leadership. Loyie, who has been an advisor at the U of M In- dian-Metis-Inuit Students’ Associa- tion since 1981, says the native edu- cation dilemma is familiar to all re- serve councils whenever they receive government support.

“Take housing, for example. The band council is given a certain amount of money and told to build five houses. The trouble is that there is really only enough cash for two houses. The result is five sub- standard homes that’ll deteriorate quickly and end up costing every- body more in the long run.”

As in housing, the emphasis in native education is on quantity and not quality, says Loyie. Native stu- dents are passed from grade to grade almost as a reward for just showing up, and when follow-up studies are done, the findings are tragic: high school graduates with grade four reading levels, astound- ing illiteracy levels among the young, and another generation of native people growing up unpre- pared for the future.

“Lots of time, too, (native) stu- dents, particulariy in the north, who get an inferior education, may have grade 12, but that wouldn’t give them an equivalent to grade 12 here in Winnipeg,” says Loyie. “They may have it down on paper . . . maybe they’re passed (from grade to grade) in small places be- cause they (the teachers) don’t know how to deal with them, or don’t want to deal with them. Maybe they have teachers in the north that just don’t give a shit.”

Those native students who do make it through high school and in- to university find it’s no picnic there either. Their numbers may be rising quickly, but native students at Canadian universities are still fin- ding the whole experience a difficult one, says Loyie.

There are more than 350 native students at the U of M, says Loyie, and the vast majority are status In- dians, which means the federal gov- ernment bears the cost of tuition, books and residence. Status Indians may face problems at university, but much greater are the worries of the non-status university student, says Loyie.

Loyie says non-status Indians must rely on student aid, or the spe- cial Access program at the U of M. “If it weren’t for the Access pro- gram at the university, you could count the number of non-status In- dians on campus on one hand,” says Loyie.

Status Indians have the right to an education, as well as other rights, guaranteed to them by the federal government under treaties.

“When I went to Simon Fraser University in Vancouver - I went in ’66 - there were four Indian stu- dents there,” he says. “You could count them on your hands, and now there’s 400. And that’s hap- pening right across Canada. . . And I bet you, and I’m just guessing, that it’s going to change the way In- dian Affairs looks at how they fund students.”

Loyie thinks the federal govern- ment may look at changing its open policy for funding all status Indians who want to go to university be- cause of the jump in native students attending. He estimates the enrol- ment jump has increased the gov- ernment’s cost “a thousand times.”

Loyie says more bursaries are needed to accommodate the rapid- ly-rising numbers of natives going

culture.” Whether on the reserVe or in a city ghetto, native people are forced into a position which de- mands they renounce their heritage i n order to survive. This is especially true of non-status Indians, who make up the vast majority of na- tives living in urban core-areas.

During his years in the city, Ameis spent time working directly with poor children, both native and non-native, who had, as he describ- ed it, “little past and no future.” More than half of core-area students come either from single- parent homes or homes where the parents are unemployed. More than 65 per cent of urban native studensts drop ouy of school before tenth grade, says Ameis.

He says that economics and edu- cation are inherently linked for na- tive people. With little economic in- dependence, Ameis says native peo- ple are forced to accept lower edu- cation standards. Only employment and stable, humane living condi- tions for inner-city natives can “break the cycle of despair” which perpetuates the problem.

Reassessing the distinction be- tween status and non-status Indians would alleviate part of the educa- tion problem, says Ameis, adding the difference between the two is wholly arbitrary and unfair. Ameis knows of one native at the Peguis reserve who is considered status despite his red hair. Some natives are considered status though they may.speak no Indian tongue, while others who can speak their native language are viewed as non-status.

Curtis Fontaine, of Winnipeg’s Native Clan Association, is more optimistic about the state of native

education. He points to several lit- eracy programs as examples of tan- glble progress towards better native education. Fontaine admits, how- ever, that issues like more native teachers and counsellors are press- ing ones.

“I would like my child to be able t o have a positive role model which might help him feel more proud of his heritage,” says Fontaine.

The Knowles Centre in Winnipeg houses and educates core-area children, many of them wards of the Children’s Aid Society. Knowles ,,

counsellor Allisson Cancilla says the situation there is aggravating be- cause although almost half the stu- dents are native, there is not one single full-time native social worker. She says this leads to prob- lems because most of the kids at Knowles have a hard time relating t c their own culture and feel alien- ated, which is difficult for white social workers to comprehend.

Richard Hart is an example of the best of both worlds: he is educated in the modern sense and still prizes artd takes pride in his native heri- tage. Hart is the president of the In- dian-Metis-Inuit Students’ Associa- tion at the U of M and is heavily in- volved in setting up events and pro- grams for native university stu- dents.

Hart and the IMISA play an even greater role as the focal point for native students while they are going to school. Hart says many have rural backgrounds and are ill at ease in the city. IMISA helps them ad- ju:;t. The native student organiza- tion is also a good model for what is needed by native people across the country - a body which helps them conscientiously assimilate the domi- nant Canadian culture without be- ing overwhelmed and destroyed by it. p””””-” I

Socreds receive Feb. 14 visit

VICTORIA (CUP) - It was any- thing but Valentine's day for the 600 people who gathered on the front steps of the B.C. legislature Thursday to protest.

Speakers denounced what they called the governments "immoral" lack of funding for education and warned the cuts could ruin job pros- pects and the provinces economic well-being for years to come.

"The issue we must all face at this time is a question of priorities," said Carol Pickup, greater Victoria school board chair. "The government says it doesn't have enough money. Baloney. Their priorities are all cock-eyed."

NDP universities critic Lorne Nicholson urged the crowd to keep fighting.

"We cannot let this government turn B.C. into a Third World prov- ince. We need a well educated

youth for the challenges of tomor- row and we deserve nothing less," Nicholson said.

One protester carried a sign which read: "Let's make education a mega-project."

The demonstrators included uni- versity and college students from Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo and Williams Lake, as well as a sprinkl- ing of local high school students.

Protesters shouted for cabinet ministers to address them through- out the 90 minute demonstration, but to no avail.

Universities minister Pat McCeer said after the protest he was in his office at the time and had not been invited.

"I didn't even know they were

This year programs will be cut and faculty will be fired. The ad- ministration has sent letters to all

faculties asking them to “justify” certain programs.

cent. SFU is cutting arts severely and creating a new applied science faculty in the hopes of attracting government financial rewards.

Students’ accessibility to post- secondary education is also a major Trek issue, e5pecially since B.C. has the lowest participation rate in Canada for 18 to 24 year olds.

The provincial government abolished student grants last February, making the student aid program all-loan. Poorer students face going thousands of dollars in debt for a four year degree. And

second highest in Canada, there is no guarantee of a job to pay off the debt.

The cost of education is rising as tuition fees are raised far above the inflation level. Last year at the three B.C. universities there was a sharp rise in “no-shows” - students who were accepted but did not register. At UBC alone the number of “no- jhows” increased 17 per cent. A .joint universities study found 30 per (cent of these people could not af- ‘ord the costs.

The Trek also addresses universi- ty autonomy and potential threats

president recently revealed that pro- vincial government officials have told him to cut certain programs disliked by the government.

I f UVic eliminates anthropology, sociology, political science, and music, the government told UVic i t may not get such a severe funding C U I . This is clearly pressure by a government trying to set university priorities.

One rally ended in a snowball fight. Following student petitions,

education minister Leslie Peterson, no& a UBC board of governors member, agreed to provide $5 mil- lion in funds i f UBC could match this money with private funding, despite earlier statements by then premier W.A.C. Bennett. Peterson later upped the matching funds to $10 million. And so ended a rather belated second Great Trek.

Let t .ers Grad disgusted by Ubyssey

I am disgusted with the Ubyssey’s coverage of an editorial on the engieers’ annual degradation of women, the Lady Godiva ride. The question to be addressed has nothing to do with “freedom of ex- pression”; at issue i s the fundamen- tal question of how women should be represented, and more im- mediately, how they are treated i n this university and this society.

The Lady Godiva ride is not only objectionable, it is intolerable, for it encourages people - men and women - who think of women as objects (“fun” ones, as EUS vice president Ginny Balcolm implies).

The fact that the Engineering Undergraduate Society secretary is able to state that a bat, beaver, and woman are interchangeable as emblems proves the point; i f Rob Lazenby cannot understand the dif- ferences betwen women and bats, he degrades not only women but men as well.

As a woman, 1 resent being the object of his “zest and innovative involvement,” (incidentally, Rob, sexism is far from innovative). He can play with a bat instead.

As we all know now, thanks to the Ubyssey’s in-depth and “objec- tive” coverage, the engineers are not interested in innovation, but rather, “tradition.”

However, simply because sexism ha5 time on its side, does this make i t valid? Rather, its long history points to the fact that i t i \ high time responsible individuals put a stop to such practices. “ A h , but i t is argued that some women “don’t mind” the Lady Godiva ride!

Since when does an X X chromosomal pattern make you an expert on seuivn, particularly when almost everything i n this male- dominated wciety encourages you to accept i t ?

Such logic i s analogous to asking a woman who has had nothing but trash to eat for a lifetime i f she minds i t - i f the answer is “no”, perhaps it’s because she has no con- ception of what else the menu could offer!

This is not a theoretical debate, but o n e , which involves actual events and people. To see that the AMS tacitly condones this act - thus allowing it to become a spec- tacle for engineers and those of a similar sexist ilk - is disgusting, and the Ubyssey should state this in unequivocal terms if it stands for

women’s rights. The onus of protest rests not Just

with women as the editorial implies, but with all respnsible individuals who oppose injustice; 1 assume this would include the Ubyssey staff, no?

The Ubyssey should address these issues - perhaps by starting with i t \ editorial cartoon which parodies the very serious issue that the naked woman, an entertainment object for the engineers, is objectionable, by making her appear less objec- tionable than a “naked” horse (again, can’t you see the difference between horses and women? You

and Rob should start a club - on another planet!).

No, the issue raised by this event is not one of “freedom of expres- sion.” Perhaps there is a grain of truth in the editorial headline “In- tolerance”, because I am intolerant of activities which feed into sexism and oppression; this is an ap- propriate response when every woman in this society is affected by that oppression every day.

I am not asking for my right to speak out against xxism - I am demanding my right to eliminate i t .

Apuzzo characterized the gay rights movement as a social change movement and stressed the day-to- day work and the planning it re- quires. This is because opponents of gays and lesbians have never been better funded, Apuzzo said. Elec- tronic preachers have access to mil-

New York than the entire gay and lesbian movement in the U.S.”

The state of affairs in the U.S. for homosexuals is quite serious, she said. Since the AIDS crisis there, the Mormon undersecretary of health has been responsible for a behavior modification program aimed at gays in Utah. Apuzzo call- ed U.S. surgeon-general Everett Kopp “another sweetheart of the New Right.”

Leaning over the podium, one hand on her hip and the other brandishing a teaspoon for dramat- ic effect, Apuzzo told of her experi- ences at congressional hearings on the AIDS crisis.

“In my opening statement, I said that the response of the U.S. gov- ernment was criminal.” Because the disease affects homosexuals, Hai- tians and I V (intravenous) drug users, (40 per cent of the victims are

Security Intelligence Service to recruit arts grads MONTREAL (CUP) - Canada's top-secret spy service wants to recrui t univers i ty graduates , preferably arts majors, into its ranks .

The Canadian Security In- telligence Service is looking for graduates with political science and sociology backgrounds, a recep- tionist at CSIS's Ottawa office said. "Languages are also good," she said.

Most of the new spy service's positions have been filled with peo- ple transferred from the RCMP security service. But "a lot of' peo- ple stayed with the RCMP, so there are openings in every category," she said.

The receptionist, who could not give her name, said the service wants recent university graduates to fil l these slots, even though they won't be recruiting "the way big companies used to do on campus and talk to students."

The former Liberal government invoked closure last spring to cut off debate and pass bill C-9, creating the new spy service. CSIS is a civilian operation charged with "investigating threats to the securi- t y of Canada" and has no law en- forcement power.

Speaking to the House of Com- mons justice and legal affairs com- mittee last May, Ted Finn, who has since become CSIS director, said

TORONTO (CUP) - Canadian university researchers should think "very hard" about the potential military use of their research, says a former United Nat ions am- bassador.

George Ignatieff, now the University of Toronto chancellor, said universities have played an ac- tive role in the development of weapons technology, including nuclear weapons, chemical warfare, and the "Star Wars" defence systems, from research initiated with no military intent.

lgnatieff said he is concerned about the Reagan administration's Star Wars proposal because it means the destruction of monitor- ing satellites which verify arms con- trol agreements. He said the univer- sities' role in the development of such a scheme is a disturbing one.

While universities have con- tributed to military research, the chancellor said they have acted as a spur to the peace movement.

UBC swim teams win Canada West championship By HUI LEE The women’s team was led by the

I SPORTS] here. UBC won the women’s com- petition while placing a solid second in the men’s division, en route to capturing the overall title. Par- ticipating teams were from the University of Calgary, the Universi- ty of Victoria, the University of Manitoba, the University of Alber- ta and, of course, UBC.

also included Jennifer Good, San- dra Mason and Anne Martin. Other winners were Martin in the 500m freestyle and Fiona Waddell in the 400m individual medley. There were also numerous second and third place finishes, including Nan- cy Bonham’s victories in both the Im and 3m diving events.

BALANCE BEAM supports Jennifer Dong. The first year Thunderbird finished third overall in Canada West finals at War Memorial Gym, enabling U B C women’s team to win title. The men were second. - r o y a. photo

The Thunderchicks dominated the competition from start to finish, as indicated by the fact they finish- ed with 536 points to second-place University of Alberta’s 386 points.

More importantly, a record 14 members qualified for the CIAU championships at Brock University two weeks from now. Including those mentioned, qualifiers are Ronda Thomasson, Brenda Jones, Ira Leroi, Helen Chow, Jill Christensen, Vickie Byman, Carlyle Jansen and Melody Smeaton.

The men’s competition was a bat- tle for second place (behind the University of Calgary) with the University of Victoria. Though the T-Birds only won one event, the lOOm backstroke by Bruce Berger, the team showed a tremendous amount of depth by finishing a

respectable second; the top three finishers were U of C first with 530 points, UBC with 420 points and UVic with 326 points.

Good performances by the whole team in the finals and consolation finals, such as Berger’s second place finishes in the 1500m and 400m freestyles, diver Steve Donelly’s third place in the 400m individual medley, were crucial in ac- cumulating points since the team lacks stars.

The men’s team at CIAU’s will consist of 13 members: Berger, Donelly, Steve Church, Calvin Church, Mike Ball, Chris Bowie, Andy Crimp, Geoff Grover, Greg Lohin, Kevin Stapleton, Dave Ycung, Ian McMillan and Craig McCord.

UBC easily won the overall title

with 956 points, compared to defen- ding champion University of Calgary’s 653 points. Calgary’s se- cond place showing broke a string of Dinosaur victories which began with the trophy’s inception four years ago. Coach Jack Kelso believes that the team’s depth will be important in the T-Birds’ perfor- mance at the CIAU Championships late this month. The women’s team is currently ranked first nationally and the men’s team fourth, although the third-place team was the UVic Vikings. The goal at-the CIAU’s will definitely be to win the women’s competition to be UBC’s second national champions this year (the men’s soccer team won the CIAU title in November), and to do well enough in the men’s to challenge for the combined title.

Vikings vanquished twice By MONTE STEWART

A sports editor’s delight, the topic can create headlines while making or breaking a season for some teams. Revenge did result last Thursday but the men’s basketball team did not reap any benefits in terms of championship oppor- tunities.

UBC downed UVic Vikings 79-62 at War Memorial Gym. Pat West led UBC with 28 points while Jage Bhogal added 14 and posted 12 re- bounds.

The T-Birds broke their five year losing streak to the Vikes, perennial national champions during the five year span. However, the victory would have been more meaningful i f the Thunderbirds were not mired in second from last place in the Canada West Universities Athletic Association.

With a 2-6 record, the ’Birds have little or no chance of making the play-offs. They have been virtually eliminated from the Canada West play-offs with two games remaining in the I O game season.

The ’Birds’ only hope of a post season berth is to be selected as a wild card entry in one of the regional tournaments which lead to the national finals.

Meanwhile, in an exhibition con- tes t Tuesday, UBC downed Western Washington Vikings 75-62 at War Memorial Gym. UBC, displaying unusual cool, led from start to finish.

upper echelons of women’s high jumping.

The UBC student recorded a per- sonal best of 1.88m to win the high jump competition at the Canadian track and field championships.

Cockroft is now the second best B.C. women’s high jumper behind Debbie Brill. Alison Armstrong of Western Ontario holds the CIAU high jump record with a vertical lift of 1.79 metres, set in 1983.

Both Cockroft and Brill (a Cana- dian Olympic gold medalist), are coached by UBC mentor Lionel Pugh. Tami Lutz, holder of the third best high jump in the CIAU this year is, like Cockroft, a strong candidate for the national in- dividual high jump title.
