Array SUMMER, v V theUbyssey AMS splurges by Michael Booth A lack of executive control contributed to a $15,000 cost-overrun by an enthusiastic Rec-Fac committee originally slated to spend $10,000 on an information campaign for last November's referendum, according to an April report releasedby Karl Kottmeier, AMS Director of Finance. The committee exhibited "lax fiscal controls, but money was not wasted, just used on ill-conceived projects with limited forethought as to the final budget," according to Kottmeier. Kottmeier added he was not a committee member at the time and committee bills never came through him. "I quite purposely had nothing to do with it," he said. The most expensive mistake was that of the Rec-Fac model, which cost $10,000 to conceptualize and construct. But now, according to Andrew Hicks, AMS Director of Administration, the building depicted by the model won't be built, although some components will be incorporated into the final design. Instead of supplying the architects, Henriquez & Partners, with the $20 million construction budget from which to design a model, the AMS merely specified a list of components to be included, noted Hicks. Based on the Henriquez model, a final price tag of $30 million, with an annual operating budget of $1 million, was estimated by AMS architect Michael Kingsmill, shortly before the November referendum. But the UBC administration's restriction of the facility's budget to $9.5 million demanded a total revision of all plans. Another committee blunder was the expenditure of $2000 on Rec-Fac buttons which could not be used because the wording contravened an AMS elections bylaw, according to Mike Lee, AMS President. Former AMS President and committee member Tim Bird, however, said that such overruns are not uncommon and occur within every budget year. "Last year the Homecoming committee went over by $10,000 and the High School Conference committee also went over by $10,000," he said. "Every year three or four committees go over budget to this degree. We never know which committee will go over budget because each year there are several 'maverick' committees," Bird added. Much ofthe problem, according to Bird, is rooted in the enthusiasm of a committee's membership: "If one of the AMS signing officers is not heavily involved with the committee, then expenses just keep getting chalked up with nobody keeping a tally on them." "As for the Rec-Fac committee, when there (are) five different committee members spending on five different things, then you have no idea how much is being spent. All you can really do is guess," said Bird. These committees, Bird said "need an AMS signing officer on top of them at all times. But the problem lies in determining ahead of time which committee will be a maverick." Bird added that lack of time was also a factor in the delayed AMS investigation of the matter. After the referendum, committee members were exhausted and difficult to contact, making it difficult to track down invoices, he said. In January, "the tuition issue pushed everything else aside; then there were the elections and I was out of office," said Bird. Lee said Hicks investigated committee expenses immediately following the referendum, but the task was delegated to Kottmeier in February after Hicks became frustrated over the committee's lack of a treasurer. Hicks is now in charge of ensuring that in the upcoming RecFac campaign the AMS will issue only neutral statements, and that all such statements are brought before student council. The budget for the new campaign will also need council approval. Also, Hicks promised to ensure that last year's budget overruns will not be repeated, going so far as to stake his office on the pledge. Folk Fest '89: Rockin' in the rain JOE ALTWASSER PHOTO Budget approved: next year's tuition will rise by Laura J. May UBC's Board of Governors approved this year's budget on Tuesday with no guarantees that tuition fees won't be increased for 1990-91. Both student representatives, Tim Bird and Kurt Preinsperg, asked the board not to increase tuition fees higher than the rate of inflation. President David Strangway gave "an informal commitment that (tuition increases) won't exceed inflation next year but (the increase) is going to be at least inflation," Preinsperg said. Strangway said he didn't want to increase tuition fees above the rate of inflation. But the university won't know how much faculty salaries will increase until August—after the budget has been approved, according to Strangway's written notes on the budget. If the arbitrator decides to increase faculty salaries by more than 8.2 percent, tuition fees may have to be raised higher than the rate of inflation, according to Bird. Overall, the board thought the budget was excellent and quickly approved it, according to Preinsperg and Bird. "This budget is full of exciting and constructive initiatives—like considerably increased student aid, and initiatives that promote gender equity and encouragement for disadvantaged groups," Preinsperg said. The board approved $1 million for graduate fellowships and $300,000 for emergency bursaries, he said. But Preinsperg voted against the budget to protest "(last year's) infamous ten percent tuition increase." "This budget spends money which the university has illegitimately taken away from students and it promises students no relief from further increases next year," he said. Bird criticized the board not only for relying on tuition fee increases to cover end-of-the-year deficits, but also for evading students' concerns about tuition. When students ask the board not to increase tuition in January, the board says they have toin order to balance the budget, he said. And when students ask the board in July when the budget's being approved, the board says tuition fees were already determined in January, he said. "When is the appropriate time to debate tuition fees?" asked Bird. "And why is tuition the only area that can be changed and altered?" ~ Beijing massacre witnesses arrive in Vancouver by Chung Wong The Beijing massacre's first eyewitnesses to visit Vancouver shocked audiences last Saturday at St. John's Church with graphic slides they had smuggled out of China. The slides showed an endless row of broken bicycles and mangled bodies with spilled entrails. "The official death toll given by the government was once 23. Eventually it became none. Until now we have only seen the blurry pictures ofthe media. But I guess now, you and me have the answer," said Ray Chang organizer ofthe conference. In the early stages of unrest, demonstrators included members of the People's Liberation Army and several Buddhist monks, as the slides revealed. Faint hunger strikers wore headbands saying "I love China." Before the massacre, soldiers tried to tempt students to take weapons so violence against the students could be justified, said VOLUME 8, Number 3 Jane Cheng of Hong Kong's Chinese University. "On June 3 soldiers left behind uniforms and arms at the Shewan Gates, but the students insisted that it was a peaceful demonstration and returned clothes and weapons to the police so they wouldn't have an excuse later," she said. Cheng worked in the Hong KongMate- rial station set up in Tiananmen Square which the Chinese government accused of providing weapons to the students. But according to Cheng they didn't even have abutter knife. "The only thing we could have possibly used as weapons were the bamboo rods holding our tent," Cheng said. "All the bamboo poles which could be used as weapons were purchased by me," said Stephen Yam, a shy student from Hong Kong University. Yam missed his final exams to protest at Tiananmen Square. "As a student, as a Chinese, I felt I had a responsibility to go," he said. Reminiscent ofthe cultural revolution, the Chinese government imported young, ignorant soldiers from the countryside to attack the students, Cheng said. "In the early morning of June 4, 15- to 16-year old soldiers said they didn't know they were in Beijing while others outside of the square asked how to get to Tiananmen Square," she said. "The non-hunger strikers received only two bread rolls in their daily diet and had to sleep on the cold ground overnight and endure the dry heat during the day," Cheng said. "The secret police had already begun video-taping," she added. At Saturday's presentation, Yam wore the same shirt he wore on the day of the massacre. He washed it once in Hong Kong, but large blood stains still remained. "Two images are most prominent in my mind," Yam said. "I can remember trying to stop an ambulance but it wouldn't stop. An angry group of students blocked its way. A frustrated driver told the students it was full. He got out and opened the back door. The ambulance was full of unconscious bodies." "The other image is the unconscious soldier I tried to save. Comatose, he lay against a tank. Angry students with clubs began to approach him. Other students and myself used our arms to block the clubs and told them fighting will only bring retribution from the government. I picked the soldier up and began to walk toward the medics. I noticed his head was bent too far back so with my left arm I tried to hold his head. To my horror I was holding his neckbone." Yam pointed to the blood stain on his shirt. "This is the blood." "In the massacre they also used the type of bullets banned in previous wars. They explode after entry," he said. Suk-Yi Yau, a journalist from Hong Kong, said she witnessed approximately 300 killingsjustin the inner city and several hundred killings in the square. Though she warned the people in the square about the massacre in the inner city, the people would not leave. Vancouver, B.C.

DAVID LOH PHOTO Plaza to be built for fall By Pat Nakamura and F. Cordua-von Specht The metamorphic site between SUB and the newly constructed parkade will assume its final form as the SUB Boulevard Plaza this September. "It will be a student center— an outdoor gathering space—to tie together SUB, Brock Hall and the other surrounding facilities," said Miner, Director of Physical Planning and Development. "It used to be a temporary car park and rough ground," said Miner. Miner estimated the total construction costs to be under $500,000. Student Council president Mike Lee, said the plaza, which will be wheelchair accessible, will be bordered by a speaker's platform for official ceremonies and special events, a terrace, and a shelter. The shelter, which will be lit up at night, is for students waiting for rides or dropped off at the university, said Lee. But the shelter is still too isolated from SUB and could be un-' safe, he added. When asked about the shelter's isolation, Miner said he had not heard anything about this problem, but would address the question. Lee also said Tim Bird, Past President ofthe AMS, lobbied the Board of Governors to provide handicapped and meter parking spaces close to SUB. "Tim Bird and his executives, worked hard last year on the project," said Lee. The plaza project is closely linked to the parkade construction—"a cause and effect relationship," said Bruce Gellatly, Vice President of Administration and Finance. The parkade eliminates the need for the plaza site to be a parking lot, said Gellatly. "Therefore, it was decided to finish the site in a landscaped fashion." Also, partially funded by "surplus funds the University had on hand in anticipation of the building ofthe parkade," full funding ofthe plaza will come from the parkade's "user fee," said Gellatly. "It's all fully funded by the operations ofthe parkade over the next 20 years." Rec-Fac still in cradle By Michael Booth Last year Rec-Fac was born— a troublesome baby. This summer Rec-Fac is a problematic toddler, stumbling along under the guidance of a Rec-Fac committee. The committee includes AMS Director of Administration Andrew Hicks, Director of Finance Karl Kottmeier, UBC Vice-President for Student and Academic Services Dr. K.D. Srivastava, and planner Graham Argyle. By mid-August, the committee plans to present a case statement on the proposed recreation facility which will tie together the committee's recommendations on the management, financing, users, and day-to-day operations of the facility. Not only will the case statement be used to help sell the facility by providing information for students, Hicks said it will serve as "the first foundation of Rec-Fac and will be given to the architect for designing the facility." Hicks said that during last November's referendum the costs involved were not clear, and information presented in the Informant newsletter, regarding agreements between the AMS and the administration, "was not 100 percent confirmed." . At present Hicks said the committee will try to match the 'wish list' of components for the facility with the $9.5 million budget. "'In the past there has been some problems as the university's vision ofthe center and our vision of the center has differed to some degree," Hicks said. ■ "We are basically working to resolve our differences on the actual contents of the facility and who will control it. I want to give students a real vision of what they can get for their money." Another area of debate centers on who will use the facility. The AMS does not want the new complex to be used by varsity teams, a point brought out repeatedly during the Rec-Fac campaign last November. The university agrees the facility is 'intended' to be used primarily by the intramural program, but this agreement would only be established as an intention, not a firm legal agreement. While Hicks understands the university's position, he would prefer a legal document to ensure Intramurals does retain a high priority. Still another issue the AMS must clear up is the time period they need to collect the $30 levy from students to finance the project. During the November referendum campaign, the AMS stated the levy would only be collected for a period often years. But now the levy's termination date is uncertain. According to Hicks, after the facility is completed, students will continue to pay the levy to fund facility expansions, upgrades and equipment. Board of Governors' student representative and ex-AMS President Tim Bird confirms the levy will not be limited to ten years but believes that it can terminate at any time after the project is completed. "The intention is that the levy can be stopped by students," said Bird. "Whenever the recreation facilities are at an acceptable level, the AMS will run a referendum to ask for an end to the levy." Bus fare still too high for students By Heather McCartney BC Transit has reduced bus fares for some university students, but fares are still too high, according to Mark Rose, MLA for Coquitlam-Moody. BC Transit's new reduced fares allow students to travel across more than one zone and pay only the one-zone rate beginning in September, the Vancouver Regional Transit Commission decided on June 1. The Student Transit Advisory Committee had lobbied for this change because ofthe exorbitant fees multi-zone travellers paid—up to 90 dollars per month, according to Vanessa Geary, AMS External Affairs Coordinator. But Rose said these concessions won't help poor students in the long run. "Even though travel expenses are now covered by student loans, these (loans) do have to be paid back plus interest. Students that are less economically advantaged are more likely to have a student loan. These people are most desperately in need of a concession fare," he said. Also, student loans now com pletely cover travel expenses. The ceiling for the amount of travel expenses covered by a student loan has risen to $53.00 per month. (All full-time students now pay a flat rate of $50.00 per month,so travel expenses are completely covered by a student loan.) Rose said he didn't know why high school students—who live at home and don't pay tuition fees— pay a lower fare than university students do. Diane Gendron, from BC Transit's Public Relations Department, said, "We base our fares on established tradition adopted by most businesses which charge concession fares. " Normally, high school students are charged a youth fare while university students are charged an adult fare." The Transit Commission agreed in principle to give a discount to all full-time students, as long as the provincial government would provide funding to cover the discount's cost. The Student Transit Advisory Committee will continue fighting to lower travel expenses, Geary said. New SUB plaza to be completed by September PAT NAKAMURA PHOTO July 19,1989 THE SUMMER UBYSSEY/3 ANGER Courtenay native Sue Medley about to be hot with new record. Folk Festival set down in history by Chung Wong The Audience As twilight hit Vancouver last Friday, dogs could be seen rolling in the sands of Jericho Beach while kids with the energy of delirious bees did cartwheels and flips along the shore. Couples lay in blankets and crowds of people conglomerating into a population of around 5000 came to a social event. Saturday broke open with heavy summer dancing before a 15-piece band which included 13 guitars and three female blues singers. Talk about a guitar seance. The heart of this makeshift gig—deemed a "folk workshop"—was the Sun Rhythm Section, pioneers of Sun Record studios, which spawned legends such as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Jerrv Lee Lewis. Sue Medley sang a raw acoustic version ofthe Led Zeppelin classic Ramble On— "Just wanted to do this English folk song," she said. The band then played Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" in E until Vancouver native Roy Forbes said, "Let's switch keys. We're going to go to the Canadian key in A." Forbes's soaring vocals can certainly be compared to Roy Orbison's. A magical moment was reached when they faded away into the vocals of the female blues singers. Sunday, July 17, Jericho Beach—I got the wet sock in me muddy shoe blues. Rain. Rain. Rain. But wait... The Innuit Throat Singers Throat singing. Sounds dirty, doesn't it? Don't be scared away (of course all you naughties out there wouldn't be scared away)—in fact, the Innuit Throat Singers displayed the greatest virtuousity ofthe entire festival. Throat singing is a primitive vocal style in danger of becoming extinct. Air is thrown from the diaphragm through the esophagus for thirty seconds continuously—each song being roughly two minutes. The sounds created fabricate tape looping, dubbing, and electronic manipulation. Impossible to believe. Sue Medley This Courtenay native opened up Saturday afternoon's rock special with her raw voice singing "Ramble On" (oddly, Melissa Etheridge sounds a lot like her). Her spirit, along with Roy Forbes's, brought rock and roll to the forefront on stage four. She'll be recording a new album in Bloomington, Indiana in John Cougar Mellancamp's studio. Sunday, she performed her own composition "It's a Hard Life" before a rain-drenched audience. She might strike you as a pop- gismo, but that's yet to be proven.

Things picked up with the Soul Vibes, an eight-piece reggae band from Nicaragua. They sent a few hundred people, including flower children, media, punkers, and quite a few folkies, into a dancing frenzy. Then Billy Bragg—in cut-off shorts and lumberjack shirt— grabbed the first standing ovation. "This song is about a fear we all have of something that has entered our society. It is why condoms exist. It's called yup- piedom. So for all ya people who need material (objects) to (make yourselves) better...this song is for you../ Jus becoz I dress lyke this doesn't mean I'm a commune eest.'"

"Me ma—she don't lyke me TMttin' all the pol-itical stuff in. In fact she says,'They got John Lennon—they'll get you!'" And what about his references to women's issues in Valentine's Day? Bragg says, "I think itsa perfec' idea far a man to spake on women's issues. We ^-fyte rice-ism but we never experience it...but at the sime time we express our solidarity with the anti-apartheid movement." B-Cuadro With their Latin American ~rrrythmns, this Nicaraguan band was the most energetic act in the festival. They can merengue. They will celebrate the tenth out of work. "Well that's nothin',' said the man from England. "I just had a hair and I put the rest of a guy back together—he put ten guys out work.' "Well that's nothing, I caught a fart in the street and gave it arms and legs and it got elected premier—put half the population out of work.'" Warren Fahey created the group The Larrikens in 1973 to play "just Australian songs." "We like to sing old songs as they were done as opposed to taking the American rock-and- roll route," said Fahey. The group has frequently been subsidized by the Australian government to go overseas. Recently, the government sent them to Kuala Lumpur after the Chambers-Barlow incident in which both Aussies were hanged Sunder Warren Fahey owns Larrikens Golden Arches marchin' across the world So you thought Bragg was good and uncatchable. You might've been right until Australian Judy Small rang the words, "We are foolish people who do nothing 'cause we know how little one can do" and "You were the mothers, daughters, wives...and you believed them." I thought I was in for something corny when she asked us to "reach to the most honest part of our souls." I reached into my empty wallet. Small then asked the crowd of 4000, "How many of you...have never eaten at a McDonald's?" Only three or four raised their hands. "Each year McDonald's spends 192 million dollars on advertising. There are 10 000 McDonalds in the world. Only 230 McDonald's are in Australia but it seems like so many," she said. "Did you know that every 17 hours a new McDonald's is being built?" she asked. "Last year on New Year's Day in Moscow there were no records, largest private Aussie label. McDonald's. This coming New Year's Day there will be 37," she said. Small then begged the audience to make the satirical song "Golden arches marching across the world" as well-known as the McDonald's commercial ditties. Her final song—You Don't Speak for Me—condemned "a group called National Action, which has made the anti- apartheid movement in Australia difficult, and has pushed to limit the immigration of Asians into Australia. They claim to speak for 85% ofthe Australians— sound familiar? Well they don't speak for me!" Magic The legendary Pete Seeger closed things off with an oomph. "The only thing worse than a song being banned is to be named the official song of something," he said before he sang L'Hymne Internationale, written in 1871 by Eugene Pottier after the failure of the Paris Commune. Billy Bragg joined midway to sing translated verses of the Chinese version sung by students in Tiananmen Square. ITED -a Job? Opportunities able. .ink In e Of SUB. ,/Casual. aits Your Needs.

The plays shows how the Russian Revolution—and the dramatic changes in thought and ideals it brought—affected one Jewish town, one Jewish family, and all the members of the family. The acting in this production is superb. Chaim Topol plays the always analytical, yet sometimes confused Tevye. Strong and dominant around his daughters, he reverts to a childlike disposition when he is with his wife, Golde, played by Marcia Rodd. Unfortunately, Golde's character is one- dim en sional: stern and dominant. Rodd could have brought a greater emotional range to this part. Ruth Jaroslow plays the town matchmaker, Yente, who arranges the marriages of all young couples except those of Tevye's "rebellious" and "untraditional" daughters. Yente's symbolic role ofthe play is to preserve the dominance of tradition in society for the sake of stability. THEATRE Fiddler On The Roof Queen Elizabeth Theatre July 11-16 Though simple and blunt, the musical numbers and choreography complement the characters and setting of the play. The set, apropos, is plain and uncomplicated. The cozy and warm appearance of the set early on in the drama falls into tragic paradox to " the turbulent revolution which ends the play. It is difficult to find many faults with this play. The prices of the tickets, however, were astronomical . The least expensive seats were twenty-seven dollars, a price *■ * which does not make productions like these accessible to many stu- *» dents. The musical ends with a fiddler playing on a roof just as he was in the beginning, symbolizing that no matter how many changes * take place — everything stays the same. .*• U.B.C.

This song was sung in solidarity for its social context by the students in Tiananmen Square. Llnternationale C'est la lutte finale: Groupons-nous, et demain Llnternationale Sera le genre humain. Debout lee damnes de la terre! Debout, let forests de la faim! La raison tonne en son cratere: C'est l'eruption de la fin. Du passe bisons table rase: Foule esclave, debout! Debout! Le monde va changer de base; Nouse ne sommes rien, soyons tout! II n'est pas de sauveurs supremes: Ni Dieu, ni Cesar, ni tribun. Producteurs, sauvons-nouB nouB-memeB, Decretons le salut commun! Pour que le voleur rende gorge, Pour tirer l'esprit du cachot, Soufllons nous-memes notre forge, Battons le fer quand il est chaud! L'Etat comprime et la loi triche, Llmpot saigne le malheureux; Nul devoir ne s'knpose au riche, Le droit du pauvre est un mot creux. C'est aBsez languir en tutelle, L'egalite veut d'autres lois: Pas de droits sans devoirs, dit-elle; Egaux, pas de devoirs Bans droits! Hideux dans leur apotheose, Les rois de la mine et du rail Ont-ils jamaiB fait autre chose Que devaliser le travail? Dans les coffires- forts de la bande Ce qu*il a cree s'est fondu. En decretant qu'on le lui rende Le peuple ne veut que son du. Les rois nous soulaient de fumees; Paix entre nous, guerre aux tyrans! Appliquons la greve aux armees, CroBse en l'air et rompons les rangs! Slls s'obstinent, ces cannibeles, A faire de nous des heros, Ds sauront bientot que nos balies Sont pour nos propres generaux. Ouvriers, pay sans, nous sommeB Le grand parti des travailleurs. La terre n'appartient qu'aux hommes, L'oisif ira loger ailleurs. Combien de nos chairs se repaissentt MaiB si les corbeaux, les vautours, Un de ces matins, disparaissent, Le soleO brillera toujours! The Internationale You rise, prisoners of starvation! You rise, wretched ofthe earth, For justice thunders condemnation, A better world's in birth. No more tradition's chain shall bind us, You rise, all slaves; no more in thrall! The earth shall rise on new foundations. We have been not, we shall be all. Tis the final conflict, Let each Btand in one's place. The International Shall be the human race. We want no condescending Baviors, To rule us from a judgement hall; We workers ask not for their favours: Let us discuss for all. To make the thief diBgorge his booty To free the spirit from the cell, We must ourselves decide our duty, We must decide and do it well. The law oppresses us and tricks us, Wage slavery drain the workers' blood; The rich are free from obligations, the laws the poor delude. Too long we've languished in subjection, Equality has other laws; "No rights," says she, 'without their duties, No claims on equals without cause." Behold them seated in their glory, The kingB of mines and rails and soils What have you read in all their story But how they plundered toil? Fruits of the workers toil are buried In the strong coffers of a few; In working for their restitution They will only ask their due. Toilers from shopB and fields united, The union of we of all who work; The earth belongB to ub, the workers, No room here for the shirk How many on our flesh have flattened!

Suspect that staffers David Loh and Pat Nakamura are agents of the other side and plotting to eliminate me.

Although editors Laura J.

Nadene Rehnby, George Oliver, Carla Maftechuk and Heather McCartney refuse to read the copies of Pravda I leave in their mail boxes, there is some progress. Parminder Parmar has written a fine review of Fiddler on the Roof (which actresses the people's struggle to wrest control ofthe music industry) and Steve Chan and Chris Wiesinger continue to fight layout orthodoxies set by the bourgeois press.

Edtton Joe Altwasaor • Franka Cordua-von Specht Laura J. May • Chung Wong Letters AMS ignored referendum So the AMS Council has taken a strong moral stance and struck a blow for human rights and freedom in South Africa. . . at the expense of student rights and freedom at UBC. Two years ago, as THE UBYSSEY reported, a referendum calling for the banning of South African products was defeated by a campus-wide student vote. Apparently this referendum was a mere sham since a more enlightened AMS Council in 1989 has seen fit not only to take action without consulting the present student population, but also to flagrantly ignore the opinion of the students who voted in the previous referendum; many of whom are still a part of the student peasantry (well if that's how you're going to treat us). This action raises some very serious doubts about the integrity of the student referendum process and, unless the boycott is retracted and put to a student vote, I would suggest that we, as students, not even waste our time going to the polls this fall to vote on the proposed Recreation Facility. After all, "if a referendum fails to pass it is not a vote against, rather it is a failure to arrive at a consensus. . ." (Thank you for the double speak Mr. Kogan). If Rec Fac fails "to arrive at a consensus" we can all sleep easy knowing that a more enlightened AMS Council will just darn well build it anyway, given a couple of years for the students to forget about the issue. While not a Rec Fac basher, if promise breaking is the precedent, and disregarded student opinion part ofthe price, then I think I'd rather spend my $30 a year elsewhere. Top marks to Joanna Wickie for her observation that Council's decision will limit personal choice (something I was misled to believe we valued out here). I cannot even begin to comprehend what sort of self-right- The Ubyssey welcomes letters on any issue. Letters must be typed and are not to exceed 300 words In length.

The entire matter leaves me wondering what issues we are going to be allowed personal, educated choice about on this campus; at least within the realm of the socially conscious AMS Council. What's next guys? Maybe afew South African works in the libraries or the bookstore? OK. Anybody have a match? Bill Allman Law 2 No smoking Well, what do you know! After a century of needless death and torment caused by the legal dope ring known as the tobacco industry, our AMS council has come up with a reason for boycotting Rothman's. And what is that reason? Is it that babies in Canada who are breastfed by smoking mothers get the equivalent of two cigarettes a day? Nope. Is it that the entire tobacco industry as we now know it was built on 300 years of black slavery in America? No. Is it that the industry is deliberately using media stereotypes of young "glamorous" women in their ads to target young girls who aren't hooked yet? Or that tobacco has been linked to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in cases of smoking during pregnancy? Or that from 10,000 to 15,000 Canadian children took up this deadly addiction each month between 1982 and 1987? Or that, since the millionaires who run the tobacco cartel have every intention of remaining millionaires, they will stop at nothing to ensure that our children become tomorrow's smokers? No, none of the above. The AMS council wants to boycott Rothman's for being a subsidiary of a South African company. Let me be sure I have this right. The next time I wish to lend my financial support, my "dollar votes", to an industry which knowingly spreads cancer, heart disease and other horrors from generation to generation both here in Canada and in S. Africa, I should make sure it is for a brand that only kills Canadians. This will show how politically correct I am. Such lofty idealism just takes my breath away, so to speak. Sure let's boycott Rothman's. But while we're at it, let's take that "strong stand on human rights" for the children of Canada and kick all tobacco products off the campus altogether. That will really send a strong message! Nick Sullivan Unclassified FSL Summer Institute Apology won't do Dear Mr. Hill; I recently received your letter 'apologizing" for some very offensive statements in 'The Red Menace'. Your response to our concerns is not good enough, Mr. Hill. Lack of journalistic experience is not sufficient rationalization for the obnoxious garbage found in your 'newspaper'. The material in The Red Menace' demonstrates a hatred and fear of women that has less to do with editorial policy and journalistic experience than it has to do with our culture's (and particularly engineering students'!) perceptions of women and our 'place'. It is up to you and your peers to re-educate yourselves, for when the next issue of The Red Menace' comes out, we will be watching. Should we find it in any way offensive or demeaning to women, we will take further action. Erin Graham for Vancouver Rape Relief The engineers apologized and Vancouver Rape Relief wouldn't accept the apology. Perhaps Erin Graham should re-think her attitude toward engineers while the engineers are busy re-educating themselves about women. Though the engineers' statement in The Red Menace was outrageous and offensive ("a .44 under the chin is a million times better than a nice dinner, flowers, or a trip to Whistler"), they apologized. They also changed the way their newspaper operates to avoid future offensive remarks. The Red Menace's remark was more than just a simple journalistic mis take: at least one engineer is awfully insecure about women. But he may not write the same thing today that he wrote last March And besides, could Graham really expect the engineers to say what she wanted to hear? "We, the engineers, apologize for our statement. We are guilty of promoting a hatred and fear of women that derives from our cul ture's perceptions of women and their place." I don't think so. The engineers' apology may have lacked insight into the causes of sexism, but the apology itself was sincere. Give them a break, Graham. However small a step the apology may have seemed to Vancouver Rape Relief, it was nevertheless an apology. Let's try to end this war between feminists and engineers. Just imagine it—engineers realizing that feminists really aren't a bunch of unreasonable, angry bitches, and feminists realizing that engineers aren't a bunch of intolerant, ignorant pigs. Peace, harmony, bliss, we can do it if we try and all that baby boom claptrap. by Laura J.
