AIDS dispute centres on UBC B) COHDANA RASIC

Vancouver Aids victims are ha\.- ing difficulty getting dental work done and they say UBC can, but won’t, d o something about i t .

“UBC doesn’t have the finances at this time for an AIDS dental clinic,” said George E. Price, medical director of the Health

Sciences Centre. “The UBC dental clinic does not turn any AIDS pa- tients away. They are treated with the usual infectious disease pro- cedures.”

Price said UBC does have special provisions for hepatitis carriers but i t is already filled and has a waiting list.

“If we put the AIDS patients on top of that what would we have then,’ he said.

AIDS Vancouver head Bob Tivey said he was “disappointed in the response from UBC to a proposed dental clinic there” since he knows that “UBC has the needed facilities but has not come forward.”

“St. Paul’s hospital received $9‘2

million from the government plus resource money and it makes sense to us to habe all the AIDS programs in one place,” said Price, commen- ting where AIDS patients should be treated.

“The teaching hospital decided St. Paul’s has a good program and we are very supportive and would recommend they continue to carry on their mandate,” he said.

St. Paul’s public relations head Estell Sures said her hospital didn’t “have such a thing here as a dental clinic for AIDS patients and had no plans for one i n the future.” She said she didn’t know about the $Yz million funding at the hospital.

“Some funding was allocated to St. Paul’s but it went towards a year-end adjustment which I don’t

have the exact details on,” she said. “AIDS patients are being treated at all hospitals but we’ve been getting more publicity due to our resources here.”

Tivey said St. Paul’s is the main hospital for AIDS treatment in B.C. due to a core group of doctors and specialists there. They are also treated at UBC, Vancouver General and Shaughnessy hospitals.

“At the moment six or seven private dentists have agreed to treat AIDS patients after their work hours. Their names cannot be released because at this point the public is so hysterical that i f they found out they wouldn’t go to these dentists.” The precautions these doctors are taking consist simply of using sterilized equipment, he said.

By ALLISOh FELKER UBC faculty salaries are 13th

highest out of 36 universities in Canada, down from first i n 1981-82, according to a UBC ad- ministration study released Mon- day.

“The feeling is the situation won’t get much better this year or next,” said UBC faculty association president Sidney Mindess. The largest problem caused by the fall- ing relative salaries is low morale, he added.

“There is a gut feeling that more people are looking for other jobs,” he said, adding the lower salary makes it difficult to retain and recruit people.

Instructors also have fewer teaching aids because of budget cuts and “must work harder to get the same amount of teaching,” he said.

Average annual salaries at UBC are $47,943 for 1984-85. Professors at the University of Alberta, whose

salaries ranked first, were paid an average of $54,024 for the same year.

“Some indication is needed that there will be a significant increase in the future before long term deterioration takes place” said Mindess.

with Mexico aided by UBC hams The UBC Amateur Radio Society is playing a major

role in aiding communications with earthquake- ravaged Mexico.

“We are an international link to the disaster area,” said Doug Wirsz, representative and former president of the club. He added the society is providing the public with access to radio operators in Mexico.

Most of the work they are doing deals with messages from British Columbians in Mexico assuring friends and relatives of their safety, said Wirsz.

The most pressing problem with communication to

Mexico is the lack of international phone lines, said Wirsz. Most of the local lines are still intact.

The UBC operators radio messages to and from operators throughout Mexico who have access to those local lines.

“As long as the local lines in Mexico remain open, we can maintain communications,” said Wirsz.

The UBC Amateur Radio Society, with approx- imatcly 15 actively involved members, is one of three Vancouver groups participating in the Mexican com- munications effort co-ordinated by the British Colum- bia Provincial Emergency Program.

American navy began deploying in June. Of 4,000 missiles being deployed, 760 are armed with nuclear warheads, each having lOto 15 times the destructive power of the Hiroshima bomb.

Referring to the American policy of not disclosing the existence of nuclear weapons on board its ships, Danenhower said, “We’ve been told again and again by the previous and the present defense ministers that Canada respects U.S. policy of not informing the Canadian government on these matters.”

But he added i t was not clear whether the Canadian Department of National Defense really does not know or simply does not release the information.

The Conversion Campaign is calling on the Canadian govern- ment to follow New Zealand’s deci- sion in February not to allow American ships into New Zealand harbours, unless the Americans confirmed there were n o nuclear weapons aboard.

Danenhower said that the agree- ment for American ships t o use the Canadian Forces Maritime Ex- perimental and Test Ranges (CFMETR) at Nanoose Bay comes up for renewal in April and Cana- dians should reject it.

“If the agreement is renewed in 1986, and the Americans are allow- ed to bring nuclear weapons into Nanoose, then any nuclear-free campaign for Canada is artificial.” he said.

New president Strangway: rocks in space By KEITH STRINGER

Evidence suggests meteorites found in Antarctica originated from the moon and possibly Mars, UBC’s new president said Saturday.

David Strangway opened the Vancouver Institute’s fall lecture series with a speech, on Exploring the Planet for about 1 ,OOO people in Woodward instructional resources centre.

Meteorites obtained by recent American and Japanese scientific expeditions underwent trapped gas composition analysis and other tests to determine their origin in space, said Strangway.

Strangway said “the inference is clear that the meteorites could have

come from the moon and Mars as a result of “the bombardment pro- cess in the solar system.” He cau- tioned that “without the whole pic- ture we cannot begin to put into context” the recent discoveries.

Strangway’s guided tour of the solar system included a discussion on the impetus of missions into outer space. He said the Apollo mission was not done for science, b u t w a s d o n e “ t o s h o w technological superiority.” He add- ed scientists were “very fortunate to have an influence” on the research aspects of the mission.

“Nobody ever said to me you can’t d o this, you can’t do that ,” said Strangway, who tested lunar

Night and dav thev want freedom w By DEBBIE LO

Eleven year old Natasha Jenkins was not afraid to walk downtown last Friday night.

Natasha, accompanied by her mother and about 400 women, par- ticipated in the sixth annual Take Back the Night protest organized by Vancouver Rape Relief and Women’s shelter.

“ I want my friends to be able to walk by themselves when they get older,” she said.

Rape Relief speaker Drena Mc- Cormack addressed the crowd b e f o r e t h e m a r c h t h r o u g h downtown Vancouver including Granville Mall.

“We dare to demand freedom,” she said. “I’m here for those women who were warned about strangers and then were attacked by men they know. “Together we are taking back the night and the day too.”

Women of all ages were present

W at the protest.

Joanne Lambert, a young woman who joined the protest when she saw a crowd gathering at the Rob- son Square start site, said she thought the march was important for women at home. “Maybe they’ll see they are not alone.”

Melissa Searcy, a mother who

W chanted several women on the march.

The high point in the march oc- curred when the group stopped for several minutes in front of a mid- night arcade which rents out “adult videos”.

“Tonight I will be able to walk past the sex shops on Granville

street without my head down,” said McCormack at the beginning of the march.

Little response was noticed among the silent men standing with arms folded and hands inside of their pockets in front of the store at that time.

Shelley Kosner, a grade nine stu-

dent at Killarney high school, said she hoped the march would make women at her school realize, “ i t can happen to them and they are not isolated.”

The hour long women-only pro- test ended at St. Andrew’s Wesley Church amid supportive cheering, whistling and clapping.

brought her two year old daughter along with her, said the march was important because it was “energy Board threatens the Meliorist expended toward a positive goal.”

She added she hoped her daughter would remember the march because of the important issues it raised.

The group marched through the crowded Granville mall, some car- rying person-sized puppet-like dolls representing women from several ethnic groups and backgrounds, and others carrying candles, a tradi- tional tool for the march.

Students call for SA. ban By MURIEL DRAAISMA

Some UBC students are cir- culating a petition urging the Alma Mater Society to stop selling pro- ducts distributed by companies with interests in South Africa.

Students for a Free Southern Africa, a small but growing anti- apartheid group, hope to halt the sale of Rothman’s cigarettes and Carling O’Keefe beers in SUB and have gathered more than 100 signatures in support so far.

“We want to give the A M s government a better understanding of where students as a whole stand on this issue,” said the group’s treasurer Sean Boulger, arts 3.

The petition reads in part: “recognizing that any money I spend on goods produced by South Africa owned or partially owned companies will ultimately support the apartheid state and all the violence it generates, I hereby re- quest . . . the AMs . . . to im- mediately stop the purchase and retail sale of;”

Rothmans, Craven A, Dunhill and Sportsman natural light cigarettes in the A M s ’ s SUB- cetera store; Carling O’Keefe products, in- cluding Hi-Test, Miller’s High Life, B.C. Grower’s Cider and St. Michelle wines in the Gallery Lounge and the Pit. The anti-apartheid group plans to

A M s student council at its next meeting, Oct. 2.

AMS president Glenna Chestnutt said Monday she thinks student council should not make a decision “of this magnitude” for UBC’s more than 26,000 students.

“ I think students should be free to choose whether to support these companies or not. It would make a stronger statement to the companies i f students took a stand on their own,” she said.

The AMs, at its Sept. 18 meeting failed to outline its position on the boycott issue. Council members discussed the possibility of moun- ting an educational campaign to in- form students about companies with ties to South Africa, but shelv- ed plans to take action. The tabled

motion about the campaign will likely resurface at the upcoming meeting.

UBC’s Graduate Student Society has already removed Rothman’s cigarettes from the graduate students centre’s cigarette machine and as of Sept. 13 has not ordered Carling O’Keefe products.

Eight graduate student council members voted in favor at a Sept. 12 meeting to ban the products, while only two members were op- posed, with one abstaining.

Society president Phil Bennett said the AMs should follow the graduate students’ example. “There are all kinds of moral and ethical reasons why they should not sell products by companies with ties to South Africa,” he said.

Meliorist editor Sue Ward. The Meliorist is independant from con- trol by the U of L student’s council.

The administration told the Meliorist not to publish the name of the professor or the professor would sue the paper for libel, Ward said.

“We were on solhd legal ground,” Ward said. “We had peo- ple ready to testify in court for us, but we can’t afford a lawsuit.”

U of L president John Woods said that while the Meliorist is autonomous and self-governing, and the board has no legal authority over it, certain arrangements the university provides could be review- ed.

“I’m referring to the facilities here. The Meliorist rents space and electricity from the university,” Woods said.

Wards said Woods had threaten- ed to d o more than turn off the power and lock the door.

“Woods said the Board would forbid distribution of the Meliorist on Campus,” Ward said.

“He also said the board might sue or suspend staff members i f we didn’t pull the professor’s name.”

The administration contacted the Meliorist’s printer in Taber, Alber- ta, and said the printer would also be sued if they printed this story. Fortunately the woman who took the call knew the libel laws and

Students to make heat, not war B.C.’s first provincial peace con-

ference has paved the way for a na- t iona l peace conference in November, a member of UBC’s Students for Peace and Mutual Disarmament (SPMD) said Sunday.

“The conference achieved its goal to create a network of peace groups in the province as part of a national alliance,” said Mark Fet- tes. “The delegates came prepared and ready to work together.”

At the conference’s closing ses- sion held in the SUB auditorium, John Moelaert of Kelowria told 150 delegates that Canadians must con-

tinue their efforts to make their government more aware of nuclear issues.

“Politicians don’t see the light until they feel the heat,” he said. “We have to make the Canadian politicians feel the heat.as much as the French politicians are over their government’s bombing of the Rain- bow Warrior.”

Conference delegates agreed End the Arms Race should foster com- munication between the various B.C. peace groups.

The conference took place both Saturday and Sunday and offered

The professor responded to the three women’s complaints through the university’s associate dean of Administrative affairs, telling the dean to tell the women that “no o f fense or disrespect was intended.” He offered to apologize through Hoye’s office for any offence which the complainants “may have perceived to have taken place.”

Posters a problem

Posters at UBC will require ad- minis t ra t ion approval before posting and the posting space will be limited this year, i f a new poster proposal is approved.

UBC vice-president of finance Bruce Gellataly said indiscriminate postering has been a problem on campus. “We just put up new bus shelters and already they’re covered with posters,” he said.

Gellataly said most of the posters come from offcampus and added the university presently lacks a postering policy. “If there are no rules there is nothing we can do,” he added.

Approval will be required to post a n y material outside of SUB. Each department will be responsible for their poster boards and the physical plant will control the rest of cam- pus.

“Students will suffer because less poster space means less information will be able to get to them,” said AMS vice-president Jonathon Mercer. There has always been a “common courtesy” poster policy and there is no reason why it needs to be “enshrined in law” now he said.

Martin Cocking, student ad- ministrative commission secretary, said physical plant is being given too much power. Cocking believes putting postering regulations above bulleting boards, a method present- ly used in SUB, is an adequate method to control postering.

Expocide We were saddened to learn earlier this week of the deaths of several

businessmen in Japan. These gentlemen were the unfortunate victims of their own suicide.

Suicide among members of the business community has been known to occur when the stock market crashes, when a marriage fails or when a career is ruined. It’s a sad by-product of the intensity of international business.

These men didn‘t commit hara kiri because of any of the standard causes. They died because of the failure of Expo ‘85, held in Scuba, a town outside of Tokyo, to attract enough visitors over its six month course to be termed any sort of a success.

One gentleman, unidentified by the press, took his life soon after the opening day of the fair. Apparently the pavillion he was responsible for was a restaurant of sorts which chose to offer a lunch featuring fried eels. Of the hundreds of thousands visiting on the opening day, only 20 felt up to such a serpentuous meal.

The theme of Expo 85 was high technology. It featured giant displays by Sony and all the other Japanese corporate giants. Over 60 million people lived within an easy day‘s journey of the site, and thousands of others were expected to attend.

By the end of the exposition’s six month run, attendance was only enough to qualify it on one list of honor. Expo 85 became the fourteenth of the last 19 world’s fairs to lose money. Just over 20 million people stopped by to pay their respects.

Expo 86, Vancouver‘s ticket to the big time, has far more realistic aims, say its directors. The latest projections call for 15 million visits to the site. Even if all 15 million show up, Expo chairman Jimmy Pattison sets the estimated losses of Expo 86 at $300 million.

The six deceased businessmen in Japan killed themselves in order to pre- vent a loss of face. To commit suicide is deemed to be far more honorable in Japanese tradition than to continue to live with the ignomy of having lost vast amounts of money. They were not successful so they died.

What d’you think Jimmy? Socrates apparently found a glass of Hemlock to be quite sufficient.

Letters Time is ripe for anti-imperialist group at UBC

On September 18, Charles Boylan, the National spokesperson for the People’s Front, spoke to a group of thirty UBC students about the cause of the danger of war, U.S. imperialism and Soviet social- imperialism and their military alliances, NATO and the Warsaw Pact.

He said that foremost on students’ minds is the desire to find a solution to the danger o f war. In order to solve any problem, one muit sort out its causes and then draw up a program of action.

Examining the causes of war, Mr . Boylan described how the U.S. created NATO at the end of the

World War Two as a pretext to keep its army in Europe. Today, the U.S. declares it must defend the peoples of the world from the Soviets. Also, in explaining the developments of Soviet social- imperialism, he said counter- revolution had restored capitalism in the Soviet Union and today it is also on a chauvinist path.

The cause of war, then, is the im- perialist system, highly profitable to each financial oligarchy, said the speaker. It is up to the masses to stop imperialist intervention. This is a mission in which students have a very great role. The course of action which all Canadians must under- take is to get Canada out of NATO. Getting Canada out of NATO will partly dismember U.S. imperialism.

One student asked about the need to maintain the “balance of power” between the two superpowers. To this the spokesperson replied that

the superpowers desire a “balance of power” in order to complete their own hegemonic plans. Social uprisings hinder their plans, so that even a demonstration of l O O , o O O in Vancouver worries both super- powers. Therefore, said Mr. Boylan, it is necessary for the masses to upset this “balance of power”.

Boylan said the superpowers d o everything they can to manipulate mass anti-imperialist actions. They try to convince the people that their efforts are futile and so on. But the people must not be passive, fatalistic nor pessimistic, for this is all part of the war-psychosis which the imperialists are trying to in- culcate in to the minds of the youths, students, and others.

As the coordinator of this year’s AMS Used Bookstore, I can strong- ly attest to the demand for second- hand books. This is backed up by the fact that the AMS Used Bookstore sold $38,000 of dis- counted books in the first two days alone. The reason for this is clear.

of the near perfect vacuum and weightless environment it provides, he said.

A handful of space projects underway that scientists have pro- mpted were outlined during the talk. Voyager 2 will reach Uranus in a few months and send back infor- mation as it did when passing Jupiter and Saturn. The Russians will be sending an unmanned spacecraft to the moons of Mars within five years. In the same period, Americans will be intensify- ing the search for evidence of other solar systems using the space shut- tle. A high resolution mapping of Venus is also anticipated.

Dr. Strangway explained that one of the big problems facing future space missions lies in our location. Here on Earth, he said, “we’re at the bottom of a very deep (gravity) well.” Once off, moving around would be very energy efficient. “We are captives of this well we are sitting in the bottom of.” By the end of the century, mining the moon (with its much “shallower” gravity well) and using the materials to build in space the desired ships and space stations may become a reality.

Strangway’s own field of research involves the geophysical history of magnetism, which leads to the geological history of planets. He had hoped that lunar rock samples returned by the Apollo mis- sions would be of sufficient age to determine the early history of the

bacterial fossils thought to be well over three billion years old, he answered in the affirmative. He said clear evidence of such ancient life now exists.

Strangway does not rule out the possibility. He said all the water beneath Europa’s surface ice makes it “A very likley place to go looking for life forms.”

The new UBC president was also asked whether there was any “evidence of a creator from space

science.” He acknowledged that we don’t know “what the heck hap- pened” in the past billions of years and that there are “an awful lot of unanswered questions.”

David Strangway will become UBC’s tenth president at the start of November. In closing the planetary lecture, UBC chancellor Robert Wyman remarked that it’s a good thing Dr. Strangway seems so interested in solving complex pro- blems. “Believe us, November 1 you’ll get a complex problem.”

Calgary squeaks by 'Birds By SVETOZAR KONTIC

Calgary Dinosaur quarterback Lew Lawrick scored on a one yard plunge with 24 seconds left to go giving his team a narrow 18-17 vic- tory over the visiting UBC football club at McMahon stadium on Fri- day night.

UBC could not take advantage of a 15-0 half-time lead as a tough Calgary defense suddenly came to life in the second half. Lawrick, Calgary's much heralded star, was

On the defense Rob Moretto looked a lot like Ken Easly throw- ing some superb hits including one that caused a fumble by Calgary running back Elio Geremia. Mark Norman and Jack Beestra each had one interception while Carey Lapa and Dwayne Derban each had one sack.

The sore point for the Thunder- birds was field goal kicking which was less than effectual in the game. Missed field goals mav well have

cost the 'Birds their game and if the problem is not solved, i t could lead to further losses.

UBC opened scoring at 3:50 of the first quarter when Cochrane went in from the six yard line. Cochrane scored again with only 15 seconds left in the half on a two yard run. The touchdown capped off an impressive 12 play 83 yard drive that was highlighted by a cou- ple of great catches by receiver Mike Rellefontaine.

game until he managed to string together a drive in the last minute.

UBC coach Frank Smith said, "All the teams we play this year have veteran defenses which makes i t awful ly tough to s c o r e sometimes."

UBC runn ing back Te r ry Cochrane had another outstanding game, scoring two touchdowns and carrying the ball 19 times for 92 yards. Teammate and quarterback Jordan Gagner also had another strong showing completing 17 of 35 passes for a total of 223 yards.

Calgary started their comeback in the second quarter with a field goal. Then Lawrick hit receiver Mike Shiroiska in the end-zone with a four yard pass. Seconds earlier Lawrick and Shiroiska had con- nected for a long gain that took Calgary down to UBC's 20 yard line.

A UBC penalty gave Calgary another chance in the late stages of the game and Lawrick made full use of it. A couple of Randy Beck receptions took Calgary to UBC's 2 yard line and the big 6'1" 210 pound quarterback plunged into the endzone 1 play later.

As in their previous two games UBC displayed tremendous ball control but had difficulty capitaliz- ing on scoring opportunities. One problem is field goal kicking and another is the tough veteran defences of the opposition.
