Dep't head threatens prof By TOM HAWTHORN English department head Robert Jordan has threatened to ask for an associate professor's resignation if he is involved with an attempt to find Canadian applicants to fill a senior Shakespearean post for which there are currently only American candidates. Ronald Hatch, who has led a departmental protest against the imminent hiring of a non-Canadian professor, said Monday Jordan had mistakenly thought Hatch and a professor at Carleton University had joined in soliciting applicants for the position and were starting an "underground recruitment program." Hatch was told by Jordan that if this was the case, Hatch should resign and conduct his "personal crusade as a private citizen." "Jordan said I was conducting a personal crusade and forgetting I was a professional," Hatch said. Hatch added that he had acted professionally by writing to members of the appointments and executive committees. He said he did not ask Carleton English professor Robin .Mathews to find Canadian applicants and was not involved in Mathews' action. Jordan denied Monday that he recommended that Hatch resign. He also refused to speak to The Ubyssey about the departmental dispute because it is "too embarrassing to our reputation and to individual reputations." "I can't account to my colleagues any story in the student press. We don't really conduct our business in the newspaper," he said. Mathews,_ a noted Canadian poet THE UBYSSEY Vol. \$Xf. No. 52 VANCOUVER, B.C., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1979 228-2301 PUNK CONCERT POSTER . . . they couldn't stop rock'n'roll but . . . Godiva could get raw deal By PETER MENYASZ Lady Godiva will not ride this year if the women's committee of the law students' association is successful in its campaign against her. A court injunction could prevent the engineering undergraduate society from holding the perennial event in which a naked woman is paraded around the campus on a horse, said LSA member Arlene Francis. "Nothing smartens people up faster than facing a criminal charge," she said Monday. Francis said she has been investigating various legal means that could quash the event. The university administration is firmly against continuation of the Lady Godiva tradition, but can do little to stop it, Eric Vogt, vice-president of faculty and student affairs said Monday. "The administration has been completely unequivocal that the ride was a tremendous mistake and insulting to women," he said. "But the Lady Godiva ride is a civil matter, and one doesn't use academic principles for civil matters." He said it would be helpful if students took some part in stopping the ride. The Alma Mater Society feels that it can do little to prevent the engineers from carrying out their plans, said AMS president Valgeet Johl. "They (the EUS) don't really care what comes down as the AMS position," she said Monday. "There should be some concern from the administration. If anybody's going to restrict the actions of the students, it's the administration." Johl added that the most serious action the AMS could take would be the disenfranchisement of the EUS, but even this would probably not help. "They'll have their money, they'll still be on the campus, and they'll still do what they want to do. "The engineers don't give a shit about anyone but themselves, and that's hard to deal with." See page 3: GODIVA and Carleton professor, said Monday he has asked a senior professor at the University of Toronto to apply for the position. Mathews has been active in promoting Canadian nationalist interests in the past. Meanwhile, Mathews has also asked federal manpower and immigration minister Bud Cullen to recommend a course of action. In a Dec. 31 letter to Cullen, Mathew says university departments often advertise for positions, but do not search thoroughly for Canadians. "Professor Hatch is correct, toor. in his suggestion that UBC can wait a year if necessary to find a Canadian. The institution won't crumble to the ground if they don't have a Shakespearean immediately," he says in the letter. Mathews said Monday the situation at UBC was "intolerable" and called on administration president Doug Kenny and the senate to end the dispute. "As the pressure has grown in Canadian universities to hire Canadians, the myth to hire someone with a reputation has also grown. How do you expect to get interna- See page 2: HATCH Cops cancel punk party RCMP pressure on the student administrative commission has put an end to plans to hold a punk rock concert this weekend at UBC. The Alma Mater Society cancelled the concert because of fears by the local police over the policing and security of the concert, AMS general manager Bern Grady said Monday. But concert organizers had planned to hire 20 security people from the engineering undergraduate society at a cost of $200. Concert organizer Mike Bocking labelled the RCMP action "a blatant example of police intervention in legitimate student affairs. "As far as I know, this approach is similar to practices in the Soviet Union, where the police monitor cultural events," said Bocking, editor of The Ubyssey, which was sponsoring the event. He said Monday the RCMP blackmailed SAC into accepting RCMP recommendations by using their power as advisors to the Liquor Administration Board. The RCMP can recommend refusal to renew the AMS liquor license for the Pit which comes under review at the end of March, said Bocking. "The RCMP's action is only the latest in a series of heavy-handed police action on this campus during the last couple of years." In Nov. 1976, the Pit was closed for three weeks, after the RCMP threatened to review the Pit's licence following an increase in campus vandalism. Grady said the RCMP told SAC they were concerned about the policing of the concert because of the violent reputation of punk rock concerts. But John Owen, manager of the company Productions West, which handles D.O.A., Pointed Sticks and the Dishrags said Monday the RCMP concern was "ridiculous." The concert was limited to UBC students and because they have not been violent at any other UBC concerts, Owen said he saw no reason why the police should be concerned about student violence at a punk concert. "I don't understand what the problem could possibly be at UBC. I didn't know students at UBC were so violent." He said D.O.A., who were scheduled to play at the UBC concert were performing at other universities all across Canada and See page 3: CONCERT BoG grants cash but helps few By MARTINA FREITAG In a plan to improve university accessibility, UBC's board of governors decided early this month to make an additional $250,000 available in university bursary funds. "The proposal is intended to provide more money for the neediest students," student awards director Byron Hender said Monday. The motion gives an extra $50,000 a year to aid low-income students. It originates from a series of student-aid recommendations made at a December meeting of the B.C. Universities Council. Student board representative Bruce Armstrong said Monday the motion is a definite step in the right direction, but added he hoped it only marked a beginning in combatting the problem. "I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but I feel it's not really enough." He said the motion would aid perhaps 50 more students annually. Almost one-third of UBC students receive tinancial aid from university and government funds, according to Hender. He cited $3,500 as the minimum required for an eight-month university stint away from home. Hender said the average award runs about $1,800, although up to $3,500 may be awarded. The board did not discuss what constituted a low-income student or how the plan was to be implemented, Armstrong said. The university offers nonrepayable grants of up to $1,700 annually through the B.C. provincial grant program. The Canada Student Loan Plan provides up to $1,800 a year in repayable loans. The new motion frees $450,000 annually for student aid at the university level. The B.C. universities board also recommended supplementary tuition and book grants for dependent students, and a move towards waiving some of the required student contribution to educational costs. Another proposal would include part-time and graduate students in the provincial aid plan. The additional grant money is the first recommendation to be acted on at UBC, but more are likely to surface when next month's board meeting tackles tuition fees.

Mathews is in Vancouver to speak today at noon in Buch. 203. Hatch has sent a letter to all English department members containing a form letter to the appointments committee which reads: "Recognizing that at this time there are many unemployed and under employed Canadian graduates of English literature in Canada, and that our department has no urgent need for a senior Shakespearean, I recommend that the appointments committee extend its search for another year to see if they can find a promising Canadian candidate." The executive committee agreed Feb. 6 to support the appointments committee's decision to bring four American candidates to UBC, dep- site Hatch's protest.

The plans involved placing written advertisements in newspapers across the province to promote support in the fight against cutbacks. The three student representative council presidents of UBC, UVic and Simon Fraser University developed their anti- cutback campaign plans at a December meeting. But recently, the Simon Fraser Student Society has announced its refusal to endorse the proposed campaign. SFSS president Jim Young said Monday three main reasons made him change his mind on the campaign. "Our cutbacks committee believed it would have little or no effect," he said. "There might be a negative reaction to the campaign with people saying if students can afford an ad campaign they can afford to pay tuition. Young said SFSS has not ruled —matt king photo QUIET STILL LIFE, glassy eyes and glass bottles, is all that remains of the intense, action-filled intellectual discussion that rocked the student union building last weekend. Fifty delegates from student newspapers as far away as Manitoba argued, threw telephone books, came to cogent, well-thought out decisions and sampled some of B.C.'s finest home-grown and home-brewed products before being flown out. Feds increasing work funds OTTAWA (CUP) — The federal government has increased funding for summer student work programs by $18 million, but it's not enough to eliminate another summer of high unemployment, according to the National Union of Students. Employment minister Bud Cullen announced last week that the budget for this year's Canada Summer Youth Employment Program will be $113.5 million, up from last year's $94.8 million. Cullen said the program will employ 64,000 people through direct job creation and another 202,000 in private sector jobs. But the government is still not doing enough to fight student unemployment in Canada, which was 17 per cent last year, NUS researcher Morna Ballantyne says. Young Canada Works, the largest federal program, is expected to provide 35,000 jobs with a $62 million budget. But Ballantyne said last year YCW could fund only a third of the 14,300 project applications with its $48.8 million budget. To pay for all of the projects would require $118 million tor YCW alone, she said. "Another problem with Young Canada Works is it only provides short-term jobs," Ballantyne said. "When that is added to the tightened unemployment insurance regulations you are going to have many students unable to qualify for unemployment insurance when they can't find work at the end of this summer or at the beginning of next summer." Many other government job creation programs, such as the Youth Jobs Corps, suffer from the same problem, she said. Concert dead before arrival From page 1 added he is mystified by the problem at UBC. "It's a shame it could be cancelled because of such a flimsy reason." Owen added there is nothing violent in D.O.A.'s stage show that would incite audiences to violence. AMS president Valgeet Johl said Monday she is disturbed by the RCMP's interference in the concert. "I can understand that there may be some adverse reaction to a punk concert but I didn't think the intervention was necessary." Johl said The Ubyssey had taken all the necessary security precautions and those measures had been approved. "It's also disturbing to find that they (the RCMP) have so much :ontrol on what goes on in this campus." She said the punk concert would basically have been no different from any other social event at UBC. "I think jt (RCMP involvement) is just going a little too far now." Bocking said the RCMP is determining what cultural and entertainment events students can attend at UBC. He said he saw no reason why they should be concerned and that the RCMP has no authority to pressure the AMS because the liquor license has already been approved. "Sergeant Hutchinson has seriously damaged relations between the local RCMP and the students on this campus. His continued heavy-handed actions threaten to put the local RCMP into disrepute," said Bocking. University detachment RCMP sergeant Al Hutchinson said Monday he did not wish to comment on the RCMP recommendations or his "private" discussions with Grady. "I don't feel there's anything to discuss," he said. "It's getting to the point where you can't hold an event more radical than a knitting bee," said Bocking. He added that The Ubyssey "expected little more than to break even" on the concert. "The event was intended to introduce a musical and cultural form which has never appeared before at UBC," Bocking said. "We undertook the event because we were approached by students who wanted to see it happen." out a campaign but believes it should be held in conjunction with other action. He said he subscribed to the B.C. Federation of Students' campaign which calls for on-campus educational work and building alliances with community organizations and labor. British Columbia is lagging behind the rest of the country in on- campus work because it does not have a strong provincial organization, said Young. "We won't have one until UBC and UVic join the BCSF." The SFSS could be justified in its stand on the campaign, said Kate Andrew, Alma Mater Society external affairs officer. "The SFSS has some valid concerns about doing an ad campaign by itself. But the message has to get through to the public quickly," she said Monday. "The campaign is to tell the public that if they care about the quality of education to do something about it." But Andrew said she does not believe that the campaign will diffuse energy from any plans to build a more comprehensive action to fight the cutbacks. "Under better conditions the tactic should be part of a comprehensive campaign but lacking that we need something immediately." Andrew said she was not sure if the AMS would go ahead without the support of the SFSS. "The campaign is in the hands of Paul Sandhu and he will have to decide if it will reach enough people without their support. He should be reporting to the student representative assembly which will make the final decision." Tuition fee fight feeble at UBC By PETER MENYASZ Tuition fee increases at UBC are a certainty without widespread student opposition, according to Alma Mater Society external affairs officer Kate Andrew. If last Wednesday's meeting to establish strategies for the fight against tuition increases is any indication, student apathy is still alive and well at UBC. Only five students appeared at the meeting. "I was hoping more people would show up, so we could see how much support we're going to get. If this is all there is. . .," said Andrew. Despite the poor turnout, the five people at the meeting agreed on most of the issues discussed. One major problem is that students don't know the major issues involved with the increases, said Andrew. "Once people start knowing the facts, they'll be able to do something." Lack of knowledge could be one factor influencing the poor turnout for the meeting, said one of the concerned students, Mark Dedin- sky. "I talked to about five people and they didn't know about the meeting. I told them if they didn't attend the meeting, they wouldn't be able to bitch about tuition increases, they said they didn't care," he said Wednesday. Education minister Pat McGeer is the key to stopping tuition increases, said Andrew. "McGeer is in a weak position. If he doesn't come through, he can be defeated (in the next provincial election)." But McGeer cannot be influenced unless students show their support for the anti-increase movement, added Andrew. "No one's going to do too much against McGeer unless they know that the students are behind them." Education senator Frank Lee said he did not know if students in the education faculty would support the battle against fee increases. "Those education students are like a bunch of lemmings going over the cliff," said NDP club president Bruce Ralston. "Don't they know what they're facing when they leave here?" Lee questioned the lack of involvement of student representative assembly members in the campaign. "How come we haven't got anyone from SRA involved? If you can't get them involved, you won't be able to get anyone involved." But Ralston said he thought SRA members were just as unconcerned about tuition increases as any other students. "People in SRA are no different from anyone else. They have no greater commitment than anyone else." The group of five decided to launch a campaign in the campus residences on the Feb. 23 weekend, distributing buttons, talking to people, and getting their names and whether or not they want to work on an anti-increase campaign. Other plans include work during UBC's Open House. "If we go ahead and do it, we do it big," said Andrew. 'Godiva ride support a little short' From page 1 EUS president Brian Short said Monday that the issue is being blown out of proportion "as usual." He said it was unlikely that enough pressure could be brought to bear to prevent the ride and wished the ride's opponents "good luck." "It's too bad people can't accept it as the fun tradition that it's meant as," said Short. Women students' office director Lorette Woolsey said Monday that originally the ride might not have been offensive, but people's consciousness is now higher. "Only a few years ago it was also a tradition to lynch Negroes (in the U.S.A.). "We can't stop the nuts that write sexist stuff in washrooms, but we can slip large publicly-funded groups that represent the university." The LSA women's committee has taken the first step toward getting the injunction by passing a motion approving the establishment of a legal fund at a meeting Monday. "We wish we didn't have to raise a fund, but as long as people keep doing irresponsible things, it has to be done," said Francis. Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, February 20, 1979 Dangerous music Perhaps we should have booked Nelson Eddy. The RCMP's decision to pull the plug on The Ubyssey's punk concert before the first pogo was hopped is only the latest example of the force's heavy- handed and autocratic behavior both on and off this campus. The reasons the RCMP used in pressuring the AMS into cancelling the concert appear to have more to do with censorship than preserving the peace. The concert would have been restricted to UBC students and their guests, just as the Pit, the Lethe and all other socials at UBC are restricted. There would have been far more security at this concert than is provided at other socials at UBC. There would have been a limit on the amount of alcohol consumed — a security provision that is not provided for at the Pit or the Lethe. But, because of the nature of the entertainment, the show could not go on. The RCMP felt that because something might happen the concert should be cancelled. This is exactly the type of preventative law enforcement techniques that have been brought to light in recent years by the McDonald and Keable commissions. The RCMP felt leftists may be planning illegal activities. So for years they illegally opened their mail. They felt something might happen if the FLQ and the Black Panthers got together. So they burned down the building where they were going to meet. Perhaps we should be grateful they did not torch the student union building. Nor is this the first time the RCMP made excessive use of their authority on campus. In 1976 they prevailed upon the AMS to close the Pit for three weeks because of the amount of vandalism on campus. Bars in downtown Vancouver where people are killed are never closed for anywhere near that length of time. In recent years the RCMP have also raided a UBC residence without a search warrant. Anyway you can be damned sure we'll never book the Musical Ride. Letters Gays hit homophobic Christian We take the strongest exception to one of the letters which was printed in the Feb. 13 issue of The Ubyssey. The letter denounced the Page Friday issue on sexuality and specifically, presented an illogical refutation of Julie Wheelwright's article titled Homosexuality. Mr. Slade and his co-authors base their objections to homosexual acts on the fact that Christianity has, in the past, condemned such acts. In recent years, however, many Christian organizations have adopted the view that same-sex love — emotional as well as physical — is not, per se, contrary to the teachings of the Bible. This change in attitude has evolved partly as a response to the discovery that, through its many translations, certain passages of the Bible have come to be interpreted very differently than originally intended. This is especially true of the passages which are employed today to prove that the Bible is anti- homosexual. Additional and more detailed information on this topic may be found in The Church and the Homosexual by John J. McNeill. The letter mentions homosexuality in conjunction with adultery, promiscuity and unreasonable anger. Where and what are the connections? There are, of course, none. Such juxtapositions serve only to confuse attempts to separate the facts of homosexuality from the myths. The discourse on marriage perpetrates myths concerning not only homosexuality but also those relating to the concept of all sexuality. The letter defines "marriage" as ". . .a complete personal, sexual and loving union. . ." Aside from the fact that many might, rightly, wish to adopt a different definition of the term, the authors seem to be ignorant of the fact that many same-sex couples live in just such a "marriage." Although such bonding does not receive legitimation by the state, many homosexual and heterosexual couples realize that it is the commitment to a relationship, rather than a legal document, which gives it its validity. People of all sexual persuasions will take exception to the attempt by the authors of the letter to define a "sexual union as leading (not necessarily but probably) to a family " With such a limiting definition, non-coital acts such as fellatio, cunnilingus and anal intercourse or any sexual activity involving contraception would not be classified as a "sexual union" since none of them neither necessarily nor probably leads to conception. While procreation is one function of sexual expression, sexual contact is now viewed in a wider context as the means of expressing and fulfilling certain fundamental psychological and physiological needs. Mr. Slade and his co-authors are perilously close to advocating the Christian view of sex in the Victorian era: i.e., that sex is for procreation only, that sex in the missionary position is the only position acceptable, and that sexual intercourse more than 12 times per year is both immoral and unhealthy. We do not accept the premise that gays should abstain from the expression of the sexuality that is an integral part of our being. Would the authors write: "Heterosexual inclination aside from the practice is not sin but rather a burden, heavy but not unnatural, which can be borne in the same way in which others have carried the burden of celibacy?" We think not. To advocate such action for gays is irrational. In conclusion, we would like to mention that studies have repeatedly shown that human sexuality cannot be categorized as simply a black and white, 100 per cent homosexual vs. 100 per cent heterosexual, dichotomy. On the contrary, it is a broad expanse of grey much of which remains uncharted.

Their cries of help were drowned out by the manager's ravings. "Revolution! They wouldn't allow this back in the USSR." Another shout came from the balcony, where Alayne McGregor was teetering.

This, of course, is in reference to the construction of the hideous apparatus of separatism in Sedgewick library. These grotesque cubicles were obviously erected without the consensus of the majority of the students who utilize Sedgewick as -a study area. The cubicles hinder group study, which is by far the most popular mode of studying employed by serious students. The weak opposing argument, that for those who prefer group study there are the group booths on the main foyer, is absolute rubbish. There are so few of these 'group booths' on the extremely noisy main floor, that even if a person makes the effort of arriving early enough to secure one, it is nearly impossible to study as a group with the constant clatter of the passing students and vending machine junkies. Although we realize that the minority who prefer the individual cubicles have their rights, in a democratic society such as exists at this university, the majority rules. Perhaps the areas for individual study needed to be increased, but renovating the entire library in such a manner was thoughtless and ignorant. The Ubyssey welcomes letters from all readers. Although an effort is made to publish all letters received, The Ubyssey reserves the right to edit letters for reasons of brevity, legality, grammar or taste. In conclusion we feel that the majority of the cubicles in the Sedgewick undergraduate library should be removed. From the general feeling running throughout the library, we would suggest that the authorities involved have the cubicles removed before some of the more aggressive members of the student body employ their own renovation methods. Sedgewick undergraduate society r Chuck blabs Well, well, well, it's so refreshing to see Ian Greenwood, chairman of the board of governors appealing "to all students to use their good sense when it comes to assessing the duties and responsibilities of the board of governors". I would like to request that chairman Greenwood clean up his own house before so eloquently criticizing students on breaches of confidentiality. I noticed that in the same issue as chairman Greenwood criticizes my actions there appears a front page story regarding the possibility of having a research park located on campus. Well, isn't that strange. Just a few months ago all members of the board were told "that the success of the negotiations would require complete confidentiality until they had been completed." But lo and behold in big fine print one of chairman Greenwood's own staff comes out and lets the entire world in on the research park proposal. (Psst Chuck, you were supposed to be hush hush on this one.) But do you think that chairman Greenwood will write an irate letter to iThe Ubyssey complaining about board • confidentiality now? Do you think that president Kenny will initiate backroom manoeuvring to get Chuck kicked out of board meetings? Do you think J. V. Clyne will erupt with anger and give the old thumbs down to Chuck? It seems to me chairman Greenwood, that the board is applying a double standard when it comes to board confidentiality. Students are harassed and roasted every time confidential board information finds itself in the public view. I have yet to see that same kind of treatment being applied to other members of the board. Perhaps vice-president Connaghan should be equally treated — punished and used as an example for board members. After all, chairman Greenwood, if you can do it to students you should be able to muster up enough strength to do it to one of your own. Paul Sandhu P.S. Last time I heard negotiations were going well for this proposal. What's going to happen now? This could be a great loss for the university and the people of this province. j Tuesday, February 20, 1979 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 Letters Davis replies The "open letter" from Craig Brooks addressed to me in the Ubyssey reads like he has a closed mind on the subject of UBC's 1979-80 housing budget. Unfortunately there are several errors in his letter which I feel should be corrected if students are going to get a proper understanding of the issues currently being discussed about student housing. First of all, there's nothing confidential about the housing budget — all students have access to its details simply by asking their representative to the budget committee meetings. Fred Puetz is the representative from Gage. The joint residences committee has been in session every Monday and Wednesday night since the beginning of January. In December and late November, exam pressure does not allow for budget committee meetings to take place. Some other errors which must be corrected are briefly: • The figures I supplied at the Gage meeting relative to cost increases totalled $127,600, not $112,797, representing a fee hike of approximately eight to 10 per cent. • Gage students pay only 36 per cent of the asset replacement fund, not 60 per cent. • Interest on the asset replacement fund is not $25,000 but approximately $10,000-$14,000, Playing this week—8:30 p.m.: Tuesday JAM NIGHT with DON OGILVIE Wednesday ALL THAT JASS BAND Thursday DAVE ROBERTS JAZZBAND Friday and Saturday UPTOWN LOWDOWN Members $3.00-Guests $4.00 NO NEW MEMBERSHIPS TUES/WED/THURS — FREE for Members LIVE—NEW ORLEANS JAZZ 36 E.

It will be given thorough examination before we submit it. • My attendance at the meeting was fully explained to the Gage committee in advance. I volunteered to return the following week. I want to assure students that their opinions which are expressed to me in the general residence meetings, and through the Gage survey which they participated in, will be fully taken into consideration by the budget committee before decisions are made. We value observations anyone may bring to these meetings if they can make a contribution to the consideration of service cuts versus fee hikes and the housing budget itself.

But despite the motion's success, student senators challenged the exclusion of full voting rights for student representatives in the faculty of law. Student senator Arnold Hedstrom said that since students were ultimately involved in questions of marks and awards at the senate level, there is no reason to exclude them from deliberations at the faculty level. He also questioned the legality of the exclusions, citing a clause in the provincial Universities Act which requires student representation in the "meetings and proceedings of the faculty." Law dean Ken Lysyk said the exclusions continued the faculty's longstanding policy and added that some students are opposed to the Jl"*! presence of other students when marks are discussed. Faculty members criticized the law faculty's new policy of boosting student voting representation to 33- 1/3 per cent. Although the number of students at law faculty meetings will not change because of a decrease in the number of voting faculty members, science professor Cy Finnegan said the new percentage might violate previous senate policies which limit maximum representation to 25 per cent. Professor Charles Bourne said the senate could still amend the proposal. But despite the differences of opinion, the motion passed with amendments. In other business, student senators said the admission procedures for the proposed masters of archival studies program were too subjective. "These should be across the board criteria," said student senator Dave Coulson and added Bird Droppings Seven members of the College Bowl finalist Thunderbird football team were chosen in the Canadian Football League college draft last week. Defensive halfback and punter Al Chorney was the second player over-all to be selected. He and second-round choice Bernie Crump will attend Saskatchewan's training camp, while Chris Davies went to Edmonton, also in the second round. Doug Biggerstaff was Winnipeg's third-round pick, while Brent Racette, a fourth-round choice, will try to make Toronto fans forget Anthony Davis, Terry Metcalfe and Leo Cahill. John MacKay and Barry Muis, fifth- and sixth-round choices respectively, get to toil for the toughest fans in the country, but at least they'll be close to home. • * * The Thunderette ice hockey team finished in seventh place in the Lower Mainland Girls' Ice Hockey League -after losing twice to Killarney last weekend in a home and away series. Saturday at Killarney UBC lost 3:0 and Sunday they dropped a 2-1 decision at Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre. Anne Stevens had the lone UBC goal. * * * The UBC ski team maintains a slim over-all lead over University of Puget Sound in Northwest Collegiate Ski Conference standings following last weekend's University of Washington meet at Hyak mountain. The conference, which encompasses UBC and five Washington universities, has held five meets this season. The top three finishers in each of the slalom, giant slalom and cross-country events at each meet score points for their team. Entering the Northwest-Southwest championships at Mt. Hood this weekend, the UBC women's team is in first place while the men's team trails UPS. Last weekend UBC's Bruce Hil- land took the ski-meister title for over-all points with a first in the slalom and giant slalom events. Kathy O'Sullivan won the women's ski-meister title with a second in the slalom and a third in the giant slalom. UBC's Mia Davis finished third in the cross-country.

History professor Jean Elder said she disagreed. "You may think that's immoral and perhaps it is, but I repeat my statement, the world operates on patronage." Senate later approved the Master of Archival Studies program despite the recommendation of the senate curriculum committee to reject the program as not being a master's level program.

POg« 8 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, February 20, 1979 UBC in second place Coach i n second heaven Coaches usually aren't all smiles after a loss, but UBC swim coach Jack Kelso was very pleased after the Canada West swimming championships this weekend at the new Aquatic Centre, where the University of Alberta edged UBC 319-317. "It all came together very nicely," said Kelso after his swimmers turned in personal best times in 31 of 36 races they entered to come within a hairsbreadth of defeating the powerhouse Alberta team. The UBC women defeated the Edmonton women 173-162, led by Wendy Hogg and Janice Blocka with three first-place finishes each and Chris Lovett-Doust with two. The men's team made a surprisingly strong showing, although the Alberta men out- scored them 157-144. Paul Hughes had two firsts and Fraser Atkinson one, while Bruce Nicholson, whom Kelso termed a "sleeper," surprised everyone by defeating Hughes to win the 100-metre backstroke. UBC would have actually won the meet under the old scoring system, but this year diving points did not count toward the title. UBC swept the diving competition, out- scoring second-place Calgary 42-22. The meet was the debut for the new $40,000 Colorado timing system that was installed last week. The system, which is pro grammed for swimming, diving and pace- clock operation, and which can be programmed for water polo, gave no problems during the weekend. "It's the first system I've ever seen go in and work the first week," said Kelso, who added it was much cheaper than other, more popular systems. The building was designed to allow easy installation of the system, and the only problem arose when a workman fell through a temporary ceiling. The meet left UBC with a potential team of 22 swimmers and divers for the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union championships in Montreal on March 2-4. To enter, swimmers must meet a minimum qualifying time and also rank among the top 100 competitors in a complicated decathlon scoring system. Although the final rankings will not be available until later this week, it appears UBC will have one of the largest teams at the championships. After the championships Kelso will face the impossible task of replacing Hogg and Hughes, both former national team members who are in education five. Hogg spent the weekend lapping competitors, and even now her 100-metre backstroke time is only one second off the world record.

Along with Sue Goad, Don Lieberman and Alan Hay she led UBC to lopsided win. Team should make strong showing at national finals in Montreal in two weeks. It's try, try again for rugby 'Birds The final score was 28-6 in favor of UBC, but it was the final play that really proved the superiority of the Thunderbird rugby team in a game Sunday against James Bay. UBC dominated the entire game against the top island side in a match that was billed as the "unofficial club championship of B.C.," and summed it up with an amazing display of team work and open field running to take the ball 80 metres for a try on the last play. Eight Thunderbird players touched the ball between the time Preston Wiley recovered a dangerous James Bay kick near the UBC goal and the time Rob Greig finally touched down in the island team's end zone. Standoff Gary Hirayama had an excellent game, scoring one try and setting up several others. He used his quickness to establish an overlap on the left wing and then pitched out to John Olesen who scored the first try seven minutes into the game. Greig scored the first of his two tries two minutes later when Dave Whyte recovered a James Bay fumble at midfield and then fed Greig. Whyte converted, and a late penalty goal by the island team made the half-time score 10-3. UBC stepped up the pace early in the second half with Ross Breen scoring a try at the five-minute mark. After James Bay countered with another penalty goal, Hirayama went to work again, first setting up Whyte on a 60-metre run up the left sideline for a try, and then duplicating the feat with a try himself. Greig's second try rounded out the scoring. UBC's next game is against Trojans Saturday at 2:30 p.m. on the south campus field. The following week, UBC will meet the Vancouver Island representative team, the Crimson Tide, in the second round of the McKechnie Cup. Each rugby union in the province fields a representative or all-star team to play a round robin series, with the winner gaining the McKechnie Cup. There are four unions in B.C., including Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island and UBC. Although UBC competes in the Vancouver union, for historical reasons they are considered a union in themselves. The Thunderbirds, who have now won five games in a row, used strong outside shooting and a full court press to thrash the Pronghorns twice and move ahead of them in league standings. The 'Birds were again led by rookie centre Bob Forsyth, who scored 14 points Friday and 22 Saturday, as well as keeping Lethbridge's colorful 6'7" Ernie Hill in check. Hill had several shots blocked by the shorter Forsyth, and his only contribution to the Prong- horn cause was to be called for goaltending twice on Friday night, and to keep the crowd amused with his defensive antics. The Thunderbirds played well as a team and they should be a strong contender next year. Team captain Frank Janowicz, who led the team with 15 points Friday night, is the only player to have used his five years of eligibility. Although UBC cannot make the playoffs, it could improve its league standing this weekend when it meets last-place Saskatchewan here in its last series of the season. Games are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. The Thunderettes, meanwhile, staved off the possibility of a winless season with their victory Friday night. The game was tied SO- SO after regulation time and 54-54 after the first overtime period, but UBC managed to pull ahead to win 64-62. Denise Simard had 20 points and Margot McCullough 17 for UBC. Saturday night the Thunderettes stayed close until the final minutes before losing 53-47. Jane Waddell scored 12 points and McCullough had 11. The Thunderettes finished the Canada West schedule with a 1-19 win-loss record. In the past three years they have won six games in league competition. Gay Coburn, who has coached UBC for the past two years, said after Saturday's game that she would not return next year. She cited inconsistency as the biggest problem this year, and pointed out the Thunderettes had seven different high scorers over the course of the season. In addition, starting forward Berni Yurkowski broke her wrist half way through the season. The Thunderettes have a young team and will lose only team captain McCullough through eligibility. McCullough, who has led the team through a trying three years, finished the season as high scorer with 234 points in 20 games. Dinos spark JBirds to two losses The Thunderbird ice hockey team survived two losses and a fire in a road trip to Calgary this weekend. The Thunderbirds were annihilated 11-4 Friday night by the University of Calgary, and if that wasn't enough to disrupt their sweet dreams the hotel fire that drove them from their rooms and into a nearby shopping mall at 3:30 a.m. certainly was. By Saturday evening the 'Birds had recovered enough to play even with the Dinosaurs for almost two complete periods before succumbing 7-4. On Friday UBC trailed 5-1 after the first period and 6-3 after two before Calgary went wild in the third. Jim McLaughlin, Jay Rumley, Terry Shykora and Paul Carson had the UBC goals. Saturday the 'Birds got first- period goals from Derek Williams and Bill Trenaman to lead 2-1 at the break. After two quick Calgary goals early in the second period, McLaughlin tied the score 3-3. However, Calgary scored 11 seconds before the period ended to take the lead for good. Shykora's third-period goal was sandwiched by Calgary scores to round out the scoring. The Thunderbirds have four games remaining, all at home. This weekend they play University of Saskatchewan Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre. The following weekend UBC hosts University of Alberta, the top- ranked collegiate team in the country. CANADA WEST UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Men's Hockey Standings GPW L Pts.
