SUA lauds 'pretest' ride By GEOF WHEELWRIGHT The organizers of the Lady Godiva ride were congratulated by the student representative assembly Wednesday night because a few engineering students were holding placards protesting tuition fees at the ride. The motion asked SRA "to congratulate the organizers of the Godiva ride for their successful mass action against cutbacks and tuition increases, it being the largest and most widely publicized of all events on this campus to date dealing with the cutbacks issue." Law representative Arlene Francis condemned the motion for condoning the sexism in the ride. "All of this has been done to hide the fact that the ride is sexist and out-of-date," she said. Bruce Armstrong, student board of governors representative, claimed he supported the ride because it. is a "fun event." Armstrong, who seconded the motion, said the Godiva ride was a good example of "student spirit" which must not be suppressed. "If we kill student spirit, we kill ourselves," he said. Student senator Chris Niwinski said that because a couple of engineers carried signs reading "Freeze the Fees," they had given serious exposure to the tuition problem. "The freeze the fees placard was prominent on the (television news) show I saw," said Niwinski. Student senator Arnold Hedstrom said he thought the ride was taken much too seriously. "When I saw the freeze the fees sign I thought, 'that's not all that's going to freeze,' " he said. The SRA censured the engineering undergraduate society for the ride last year, but according to Hedstrom this year's ride was "alright" because no violence occurred. "Last year there were assaults. I would like to congratulate the women's committee on how they handled this year's ordeal." Student senator Jeff Barnett, who sponsored the motion, said: "if it takes something like that to get people out, then I'm all for it."

'Women fo blame' for unemployment OTTAWA (CUP) — Canada's high unemployment rate has been partially caused by too many women looking for jobs, finance minister Jean Chretien says. Chretien told a Toronto audience recently that the shortage of jobs was partially a result of the unexpectedly-high participaton of women in the labor force in the last few years. He said he expected "this rapid increase to taper off in the future." But an executive member of the national action committee for the Status of Women says this statement only confirms the government's attitude that women are to blame for unemployment. Carol Swan said Wednesday the remarks indicate "the feeling of the government as a whole — 'let's blame the victim for the problem.' " "Presently, it's a very fashionable approach to blame women for the unemployment problem, when it's clearly the economy's inability to respond to the needs of a growing work force that is the culprit." The opposition parties have also questioned Chretien's assertion that the participation rate will level off, in view of previous vastly incorrect predictions. Women's participation rate has already reached the level predicted by the Finance department for 1986. In a paper presented to the first ministers' conference in November, the department admitted it had underestimated the growth, and, as a result, the labor force would grow faster in the 1980s than previously predicted. The C. D. Howe Institute also states in a recent report that there were strong reasons to believe women's participation would continue to rise. In the House of Commons Monday, Progressive Conservative MP David MacDonald questioned Chretien's rationale, given that "previous estimates by his department were so woefully wrong." Chretien responded that the rapid increases in the past few years and the lessening gap in participation rates between the U.S. and Canada indicates "the acceleration will stop very soon." By VERNE McDONALD For the third time in nine months the manager of the Pit beer operation in SUB has resigned. Pit supervisor Rick Papineau handed in his resignation Tuesday after a meeting of Alma Mater Society managers and Pit supervisors. Papineau said Wednesday he had originally planned to leave his job in June, but "things came to a hilt during the past few weeks" and he resigned effective immediately. His resignation was for "personal reasons," AMS general manager Bern Grady said Wednesday. Papineau's duties in managing the Pit have been taken over by assistant general manager Hank Leis. Managers of the operation who have quit previously include Nick Sehler, who resigned Dec. 20 after three weeks as social services manager, and Tor Svanoe, who left the job of Pit manager last July, citing "frustration" as being among his reasons for leaving. Lethe supervisor Bill Simpson said there is a "management crisis" in the Pit that was the cause of Svanoe's departure and had a bearing on Papineau's resignation. "The management crisis which resulted in Rick's resignation was not an existing one, but one created by overzealous student workers and members of the student government. "In Tor's case it was more the student government. In Rick's case it was more the workers," he said. Simpson said the interference of others in the Pit manager's job caused the problem and will make it difficult for the AMS to find someone to fill the position. "If I were applying for the job and found out that the three people who ran the place before me had resigned, I would want to talk to them and find out why," he said. "The only way they're going to get and keep a manager is to make the Pit autonomous, answerable to the AMS but run by the manager." Simpson said he could not elaborate on the reasons for Papineau's resignation. See page 3: PIT Intramurals, AMS need bucks Organizers of next week's Alma Mater Society fee referendum are afraid the referendum will fail. The referendum will ask for a S3 increase in next year's AMS fees. Half of the increase would finance intramural activities, and the other $1.50 would be applied to general AMS acitivities and services. Success in the referendum is necessary for the continuation of intramural activities at their present level, intramural coordinator Nestor Korchinsky said Wednesday. "We'd have tojeadjust the balance of where money is spent if the referendum fails," he said. But he added he was not sure of the referendum's success. "I don't think the referendum is a sure bet." Korchinsky and AMS external affairs officer Kate Andrew agreed that lack of sufficient publicity might hurt chances for success in the referendum vote. "I don't think too many people are talking about the referendum," said Korchinsky at a meeting of referendum organizers Wednesday. Another potential problem is recruiting volunteers to help with the voting procedure. "No one is willing to staff polls," said Andrew. Referendum organizers at the meeting agreed that immediate publicity of the upcoming vote is essential to any hope of success.

"Management is looking for an excuse to lock people out," said Chris Eve, vice-president of the Association of University and College Employees local 2. Strike coordinator Gary Harris said the library employees were locked out at 10:30 a.m. Monday. "We (the union) had pulled two keypunch operators in the library and the administration said that they couldn't operate the library without them," Harris added. The administration was forced to lock out the library employees because the work that would normally come through to them from the keypunch operators was not coming through, an administration spokesman said. "Ten minutes later, the rest of the employees in the library and the bookstore walked out," said SFU's labor relations director Tom King. He added that he felt the rest of the employees were honoring the picket line that had been set up by the 40 locked-out employees. King said that he did not know how long the library employees would be off the job. "The lockout notice did say Board ratifies residence fee hike Students applying to live in residence next year will face at least an 8.6 per cent rate increase, the board of governors decided Tuesday. An 8.6 per cent hike will be imposed for Totem Park and Place Vanier residences, while Gage Towers residents will be paying 8.9 per cent more next year. Students planning to live in the highrise section of Gage next year will pay $1,057.54, in Totem Park a single room will cost $1,723.68, while in Place Vanier the fee will be $1,738.20. Housing director Mike Davis said there will also be a cutback of maid service for Vanier and Totem residences. The board did not discuss tuition fees in the open part of the meeting, meaning a decision regarding any Euthanasia isn't a dead issue By JUDITH MICHAELS Euthanasia does not give terminally ill patients a dignified death and should be regarded as killing, a clinical research Institute of Montreal director said Wednesday. "The right to die in dignity is not the right to be killed, nor the right to kill oneself, nor the right to be aided in killing oneself," Dr. David Roy said. "Euthanasia is the compassion- motivated, painless deliberate termination of a human life. Euthanasia means killing." Roy was a panel speaker on mercy killing, along with radiologist Dr. Colin Harrison and articling law student Ruth Busch. He said terminally ill patients should not be put to death, but should be placed in hospitals where the patients are cared for, the pain is controlled, and they are allowed to lead independent and hopeful lives while they are dying.. "Euthanasia by omission usually involves severe burn victims and newborn babies with extreme deformities. Here the question is whether the patient can be saved? And can the life be prolonged and saved for a very very long period of time?" he said. "Euthanasia by omission is unjustifiable and morally rejec- table." Harrison said the notion of accepting mercy killings was Pit is hit with third split From page 1 "There's nothing you can put your finger on. It's the culmination of a lot of little actions causing tension, which kept on rising rather than being resolved until it built up to the point where something had to snap," he said. When asked whether what transpired at a Pit supervisors' meeting Tuesday affected his decision, Papineau said: "yes and no. It's been a lot of things that have been going on for some time. I had already made my decision to leave, I just changed the date." "Papineau said he plans to go into a private business venture within a few weeks which he was organizing in anticipation of his leaving the Pit. Papineau worked two years in the Pit and had held the positions of interim Pit manager and interim social services manager before Leis' appointment. directly in opposition to providing medical care. "Medical care provides relief to the patient while he is still living, whereas mercy killing provides relief to everyone but the dead patient." Dying is an emotionally exhausting business and physicians should not feel that they have been placed in the role of executioner, Harrison said. Busch said section 205 of the criminal code states that when death is caused either directly ir indirectly by an ommission, the person responsible is guilty of homicide. "Suicide is not defined as an act of crime in the criminal code, but if someone aids or abets a person contemplating suicide, then it is a crime," she said. Roy said medical personnel cannot be left with the responsibility of making moral judgements in aiding terminally ill patients. "Who's going to decide who should live or die? It is hard to make a general rule. Rights, responsibilities, duties and values all have to be considered. The medical profession does not have the responsibility to totally eliminate human suffering or to promise happiness." fee hikes will be made after regular classes have been finished. The board was also presented a brief by the committee for the defence of human rights in Chile, which calls on the university to use its 8,000 shares in Noranda Mines of Canada to protest a proposed investment by the company in a mine at Andacolla, Chile. The committee asked the board to voice its displeasure about proposed investments by Noranda in the repressive regime of dictator Augusto Pinochet. The board declined to take any positive action in response to the committee's recommendations. Last year the board gave its proxy votes as a shareholder to the company, a sign of tacit approval of company policy. A proposal for the construction of a $4 million parking lot for UBC's new extended care hospital was also accepted by the board. The financing of the two-storey above-ground structure will be split between the Greater Vancouver Regional District and the ministries of health and education. The parking lot, scheduled to be completed this summer, will only be available for doctors, patients and staff at the hospital. No room is planned for student parking in the 1,000 lot building. In other business, students will have to pay more for their- transcripts, supplemental exams and late registration fees. Board members were told the new rates could generate almost $39,000 in additional revenue next year, and were accepted by the board after the registrar's office asked for the increase to offset incidental expenditures. 'immediately and until further notice.' " He said regular library hours were being maintained and as high a level of service as possible with only management personnel. Eve said he found it hard to believe the university had locked out these particular employees as there are other areas of the library which would be harder hit by the loss of the keypunch operators. He also said he was surprised the university would admit that the strike action of the two keypunch operators could cause problems in the library. "They've (the university) been saying for 13 weeks that the strike wasn't having any effect," said Eve. Thirty AUCE members will go to Victoria next Tuesday to talk to members of the provincial government, Harris said. "We hope to bring to their attention the fact that government funding for universities is being cut back and that is one of the reasons that the board of governors has given for rot giving us any more (money)." King said he did not see the provincial government getting involved in the strike dispute. "The operation of the university is a university matter." There is no expectation that the government will intervene, said Eve. Arts students elect SRA reps Marc St. Louis, Bob Staley, Jack Hittrich and Anders Ourom have been elected as arts representatives on the student representative assembly. St. Louis got 93 votes; Staley, 77; Hittrich, 71; and Ourom, 58, defeating Neil Cadger, Jeremy Cato, Mark Crawford, and Jack Bowman in their bids to sit on SRA. Fewer than 200 arts students voted at the polls Wednesday. Meanwhile, Valgeet Johl was acclaimed to her second term as arts senator, while Roger Bhatti was acclaimed as arts undergraduate society president. Pag* 4 THE UBYSSEY Thursday, March 8, 1979 Letters Disco bears cross In response to a letter from a Mr. Chris Smele printed in the Tuesday, March 6 edition of The Ubyssey about disco. In your letter Mr. Smele, you refer to disco music as "obviously anti-Christian, anti-democratic and undermining the very spirit which makes this country so great." I would like to point out that many Christians attend discos and find them entertaining and enjoyable places to spend money, meet people and expend energy. Disco is not anti-democratic. People attend discos because they want to, not because they fear liquidation by some subversive organization. What is "the very spirit that makes this country so great?" I don't think it is only rock and roll. I agree that rock and roll is here to stay, but there are many other "spirits" that make up Canadian life. One of the beauties of our country is the existence of free choice. Disco does not limit our field of choice, it expands it and Biases blasted Ah, Sonja (in regards to your After all, we are all aware that letter in the Friday, March 2 edition "engineers do not know how to of The Ubyssey) it is such a joy to dance," and that "they have no read letters such as yours which sense of rhythm and lack the lack any prejudice or bias against imagination for body movement," certain groups of people (we with the exception of the 50 or so wonder who!).

However, nonc-thc-less, Mi. Lane you have made yourself a date. As you state, it is sad that most romantic overtures arc rejected as meie invitations to hop into the sack. I am sure thai many would look upon your invitation as nothing more than just that. But I think it is quite clear (hat you have i t'Siiri hihli> ftf ift'il rf\m'lilia^ inrl I cannot help but believing that a great deal of frustration on this campus could be alleviated if only others would share your outlook. I look forward to our little tryst as the perfect opportunity to take a first step in the resurrection of UBC romance —- you have certainly set an appropriate scenario. Now, tell me Randy, where do you hide yourself; how do we arrange this rendez-vous of ours? Judy Carrington are very good dancers). So much for your first assumption, eh Sonja! Also, seeing as you "have attended many engineering dances, they can not be all that bad at dancing, right! As far as general appearances go we all know that they dress as slobs, don't we; mind you we fail to see the differences between how they dress and how any other faculty dresses. Therefore, it would seem that in your description of the dress code for the engineers you have merely described the dress of the entire university! By the way, how do you know what they have laid out for them on the bed every morning? Somehow, we can not really picture you as a "friend" of any engineers (with friends like you they sure don't need any enemies!). In conclusion, Sonja dear, we suggest that you keep your personal prejudice and bias to yourself, instead of making an ass of yourself as you did in your letter on Friday. Seeing as you believe in generalities so strongly maybe you could tell us if the one concerning arts people is true: are they really all gay? Sharon Hack phys ed Karen Oleksyn education 1 many people have chosen to accept disco as a legitimate form of entertainment. Disco music sales and the disco night club business have enhanced the lives of many Canadians, including U.B.C. students. Disco creates jobs, pays bills and generates tax revenue. Above all, disco provides us with another way to enjoy ourselves if we so choose. Saturday night in the Pit is advertised as "The Saturday Night Disco, presented by the Pit and produced by CITR-UBC Radio". It is a known fact that one will hear disco music and lots of it. With the above in mind, I would like to ask you Mr. Smele, why you so masochisticly spent your Saturday night dollar on a cover charge at a CITR-Pit Disco and proceeded to experience "four hours" of what you thought was some sort of Machiavellian plot? Entertainment is designed to create a type of environment in which we enjoy ourselves. Discos, punk rock concerts and rock and roll concerts are provided for those who choose to pay to enjoy them as these events create their respective entertainment environments. To create a revolution to stop discos and punk rock concerts, in the name of Christianity, democracy and the Canadian spirit, is ludicrious. By limiting choice, you are contradicting your cause. Enjoy your rock and roll Mr. Smele, and let those who choose, enjoy punk rock and disco. Greg Plant CITR-UBC Radio Disco Can you s\ The Alma Mater Society is in dire straits.

From your premise that all women should feel degaded and insulted by the Lady Godiva ride I must assume that you advocate that all Catholics should feel degraded by Adolf Hitler because they are of the same religion, and that all blacks should feel insulted by Idi Disco-droids evil In the March 2 issue of this paper, Sonja Sinclair wrote that the "disco scene can really help build character of people with positive self concepts, but for the engineer there is no hope." In contrast to all the other deep psychological revelations of self exhibited in her letter, this one is of paramount importance to an understanding of how the serious sickness of western society as a whole is reflected in the influence of the subconscious on the writings of the conscious mind. Sonja says that engineers are vile selfconseious pitiful creatures and that all engineers hate disco. This has the effect, in the context of her letter, of raising disco, and the surrender of oneself to disco as a beneficial, if not desired, event. Contemporary western society is caught in a headlong rush to the 'Final Solution' because people with no hope are turning themselves over to the self-centred disco ethic of staying alive. The disco-droids say they are good people following the rules. They feel that because they are good people they make the system better. What they really are doing is making the system function better. The effects of this better functioning system is of no concern to them. In conclusion, Sonja, let me say that on the whole your letter reveals far more about your inner psychic makeup than it does to illuminate the relative merits of disco and gears. What you must do in order to get a grip on the specific interrelationships of our society is to consider the setting of our society in relation to the other societies of our planet. Specifically, with reference to the part of your letter quoted above, you must consider that if the system's effect on the rest of the world is basically evil, then an increase in the efficiency of that system means that the world as a whole becomes a worse place to live, even though your physical and psychic comfort is increased.

To remain successful, intramurals need this funding desperately to meet rising costs and in anticipation of activity expansion. Fraternities and sororities are involved very closely with intramural sports from the arts 20 race at the beginning of the year through volleyball, basketball, badminton, curling, ice and field hockey, swimming, soccer, and several other events throughout the entire school term. But everyone can benefit from the intramurals program — the clubs and the individual. It means great fun, great friends and good exercise. If you're already involved in a particular aspect of intramural sports you know how important this funding is to the future of the program; if not, then find out how you can get involved.

Letters An example of one of the programs which might be cut back is the intramural sports program. Many of the sports which are more costly to finance, such as hockey, will be cut, leading to a decline in the quality and variety of athletic programs available to UBC students. The situation in intramurals is faced by many of the society's other efficiency should recognize that the operating fee students pay each year has not been increased since 1947, despite the many-fold increase in operating costs. Initially, inflationary pressures on the society were met with increased student enrolment which allowed the society to operate without raising fees. But in recent years declining enrolment and a higher inflation rate has put a double squeeze play on the society's budget. That the AMS has survived at all in recent years despite these pressures is due to a series of conservative finance directors who cut subsidies to clubs and other organizations such as the intramural sports program. Many of the cuts this year have crippled formerly strong campus organizations such as the CITR radio station, which has had its budget cut by over 90 per cent. Most students groups have felt the pinch and many have been cut to the bone. Next week's fee referendum will be a turning point for many student activities, some of which may be cut altogether if the referendum fails. Advance polls open Tuesday and voting will continue until Friday.

It was not individualism that gave us the atrocities of Nazi Germany. It was a 'collective' movement by a group of individuals who had relinquished their free will to the dictates of Hitler. Everyone has been giving their views of the "real issue" underlying this ride. Now it's my turn! The real issue — "Enlightenment" notwithstanding — is the right of the engineers to stage the Lady Godiva ride, and of the spectators to view it or not to view it. In the whole of this dispute, objectively the only ones being oppressed are' the engineers. Not only do their opponents take it upon themselves to tell the engineers what they mean by the ride ("that women are weak, passive, defenseless, and compliant with any and all forms of assault"), but also to stop the ride using their subjective moral indignation as sole justification. Kelly Connell arts 2 The police are conducting a concerted operation to eliminate the punk scene in Vancouver. The manner by which they are attempting this is simple: they are intimidating the people who wish to put punk concerts on by threatening to revoke liquor licenses. This is, of course, how the. RCMP cancelled the gig which was to happen on Feb. 24 here on campus. Since then the Vancouver City Police have similarily threatened both O'Hara's and the night club which has been the focal point of punk rock for a number of months now, the Windmill. In the Georgia Straight of March 2 there is an article headlined 'Punk' 'Violence' Stops Show'. That article tries to explain why the people at O'Hara's decided to cancel the punk gig which was supposed to happen on March 15. The reason given is that they are afraid that there might be violence happened at the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre gig. The real reason for the cancellation was police intimidation. The police informed the people at O'Hara's that they were going to be present at the club on the 15th and that if minors were about, or if violence broke out, O'Hara's would lose its liquor license. Faced with such a threat the operators cancelled the show. If the police had not intervened the show would have gone on, with professional bouncers to deal with the possible confrontation between bikers and punks. It is likely that the idea for the March 15th concert didn't even occur until the earlier gig had shown how profitable punk gigs could be — that is, all along the promotors were aware that they might have a problem with violence. As to the Windmill, the police have also used intimidating tactics to see that punk is stopped. The Windmill has had punk shows a couple nights a week for some three or four months now. During this time the bands playing there have been getting a poor shake — they were getting ripped off by the management. Sometimes a band member would get as little as $7 for playing a night there. Seeing that the bands were getting fucked around, two weeks ago John Owen, manager for DOA, suggested that the bands refuse to play until the Windmill gave them a better and well-deserved deal. Now most of the bands took advice and refused to play. At this time the punk band Private School approached the managers at the night club with the idea that they should bet a week long gig. This is where the police step in. Just as Thanks to workers On behalf of the open house committee we would like to extend an open letter of thanks to all the students who participated on March 2 and 3.

Just as the AMS bureaucrats and people at O'Hara's found that they couldn't face up to such intimidation neither could the Windmill. John Walker Protest a crime A large number of the supposedly enlightened members of the university community seem to be incapable ot accepting the reality of this world in which wc all live. As wiih all readers of The Ubyssey, I am constantly confronted with ihe propaganda expounding upon the necessity ol a union fee freeze. Why don't >ou people siep off of your idealistic little platform and take a good long look at what is going on? Inflation is today an integral part of all of our lives. I can see nothing wrong with tuition fee increases tied to the cost of living. I am a little more lhan sick and tired with these crybabies clamouring that they are being oppressed by [he Socied nasties and thai a urmersiiv educa;ion in B.C. will noon only be available to those people with surnames beginning with Vandcrbilt and Rockefeller. I fail to see how tuition fees keeping pace with inilation will price the cost of education out of reach of the student of average financial capabilities any more than any other facet of the cost of living. I really don't see how the accessibility to higher learning will be diminished. I iust wonder how mans have taken a look at what it costs to obtain a comparable education in the United States. Digging out my copy of the 1976 World Almanac, I opened it to ihe page lisuiin iunion lees (noi fees for room and board or any other expenses) for 128 representative American universities. Taking my pocket calculator, 1 totalled and averaged Ihe fees (using the lower figure when a range of fees was given) and came up with an average figure of $1760 per year. 51760 IN 1976!! (hat is three times what we are paying in 1979!! I feel pretty damned lucky that I'm paying only S573 this year for a university education. If I was a taxpayer, I'd be pretty bloody unhappy with the university Mudenti, who are in the first place only paying about IS per cent of the total university costs, bitching about tuition fees going up for the first tunc in two years as if these little bastards should be privy to a non- inlla:iiinai> world This n noiwiihsiandiii); [Inr fact that much ol ihe funding of universities goes toward work which is of dubious value (eg. the self-propagating English department). In conclusion, to those people who feel like persisting and voicing your opinions against tuition fee increases, fine. It's your right lo do so. But just don't waste A.M.S. monies (which students paid for) on your ridiculous little rallies advertisements in the Ubyssey and stupid little buttons. That is a real crime. I.. Scott Forbes science 3 Ride a tradition Yes, ladies and gentlemen . . . Oh! Excuse me! I mean "fellow university students" (Damn! guess that sexist address gave it away!). Yes, I am an engineer and I am writing in regards to the hottest issue on the press these days. It seems to me that most people who have expressed an opinion on the Lady Godiva ride have been somehow sidetracked on to the totally irrelevant topic of their choice. One can almost feel the hot breath and spittle of frothing mouths as these do-gooders reveal their biased nature under the auspices of defending their ignorant and helpless fellow men. Even though I get a good laugh out of these articles I do get rather tired of ignorant, erroneous and repetitious references like "Nazis", "sexist", and (heaven forbid!) disco haters (hope you got a good laugh over Sonja's "character building" article, too!). Let's take this opportunity to set the neurotics back on track. The ride is not intended as an insult to womanhood nor is it a brazen show of "political The Ubyssey welcomes letters from all readers. Letters should be signed and typed. Pen names will be used when the writer's real name is also included for our information in the letter or when valid reasons for anonymity are given. 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. power" (Perspectives-Friday, Mar. 2). These connotations are the figments of fevered imaginations. The ride, when isolated and observed impartially, can be seen in its proper context. That is, the ride is a tradition and an integral part of being a UBC engineer, nothing more and nothing less.

Thursday, March 8, 1979 THE UBYSSEY Page 7 Vote banked on From page 1 Andrew distributed posters at the meeting, to be put up around the campus Wednesday night. The committee decided to hire the CITR radio station sound truck to advertise the referendum during lunch hour on the voting days. The group also decided to buy a half-page advertisement in The Ubyssey next Tuesday giving the locations of the polling stations. Bruce Armstrong, one of the referendum organizers, added that the advertisement would also list student politicians in support of the referendum. He said that would include engineering undergraduate society president Brian Short, AMS president Valgeet Johl, board of governors member Glenn Wong, himself, and others. Some members of the committee were concerned about the cost of buying such advertising, but the concern was quashed by one of the representatives of the intramural program. "If we don't spend some money now, we won't have any money to spend a year from now," said Marnie Parton. Committee member Chris Niwinski said at the meeting that the student representative assembly could be called on to provide staff for polling stations. "We could pull the old guilt trip on them," said Niwinski. Andrew said the guilt trip approach was attempted without success prior to the October fee referendum. The group also agreed on the importance of talking to students during lectures, especially those in first year classes, and will try to arrange for volunteers to give the talks. Voting on the fee referendum will begin on Tuesday, March 13 and continue through Friday, March 16. Locations of the polling stations will be announced as soon as they are finalized. SAC censvre fails From page 1 Education senator Steve Ferguson said the logic of the motion was ridiculous and made no more sense than promoting violence to get publicity for the tuition problem. "I could go downtown and firebomb banks wearing freeze the fees buttons and (I) would get attention," he said. But Hedstrom said the ride could be an event for students to rally around in the interests of promoting student solidarity. The motion was passed with 12 votes in support, eight against and five abstentions. At the same meeting the SRA defeated a motion to censure the student administrative commission for their action in rejecting an application to hang a freeze the fees banner outside SUB. Kate Andrew, Alma Mater Society external affairs officer, said there was no reason or excuse for the commission's refusal if they properly understood SRA's position on tuition increases. "To anyone who has been aware of student's activities, it should be clear that SRA has come out against tuition fees," she said. r-UULlC 228-61 21 mWlMMMMmP* GlirJG FRI. & SAT. 7:30 p.m. - 9:45 p.m. SUNDAY 1:00— 3:00 p.m. ] \\i STUDENTS & CHILDREN .75 ADULTS $1 25 THUNDERBIRD y - &.

Drunks who have no respect for the Lord's day and sidewalk freaks parade about the mall. But for the cement city cowboys outside the ballroom, none of the nonsense matters. They're chatting to friends and strangers alike, their stetsons nodding up and down, about the biggest country and western event to hit Vancouver in 25 years. Hank Williams is in town. And when Sneezy Waters and his Excellent Band leave the stage two hours later, you'd swear it was true. But even the most loyal Williams' fans, while singing along to classics like Your Cheatin' Heart, Jambalaya (On the Bayou), Hey Good Lookin' and I'm So Lonesome 1 Could Cry, know deep down that Sneezy Waters is not the long-gone Hank. Hank Williams, The Show He Never Gave, is a play, rather than an imitator's concert, that has been receiving rave reviews as it tours across Canada. It's easy to see why. The Waters show brings out, along with Williams' music, a look at the man who died early at 29, from alcohol and a broken heart. The premise the play starts on is that Williams didn't die in the back seat of his Cadillac on New Year's day, 1953, on his way to a show. Instead Hank, already drunk, manages to make it to a New Year's show, the show he never gave. And the Commodore is the perfect place for the show, filling in as the typical C&W hall of the early '50s. On stage a Happy New Year 1953 banner completes the time trip. Williams' back-up band, the Drifting Cowboys, come on first and sets the place humming with some fine instrumentals. The Sunday night crowd is mildly perturbed when they learn that no booze is available, but they really came for the music and they get it. After a couple of tunes, the musicians look somewhat anxiously at each other and the audience nods knowingly. They've heard about Hank's drinking problem, rumored to be why he hasn't played the Grand Ol' Opry for a fair stretch. HAHK WILLIAMS HDD HEAR OAK HILL, WLUIL, ON JAHUABY 1,19S3. RE WAS 89.

Hank smiles, waves to the crowd, stoops a little to the mike and drawls into Lovesick Blues, his first big hit and the song that "brought the house down" the first time he played the Opry in 1949. Unfortunately his intake of "milk," as he calls it, has already affected his performance and he flubs a line. "That's one song I should know," Hank apologizes to the audience. And so it goes. Waters is not only Hank Williams, he's Hank Williams in a last pathetic performance, drunk and pouring out his life story between the songs. As the show progresses the audience realizes that it is indeed a drama, and a tear- jerker too. When Hank, under a single spotlight, begins singing I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, his voice strained and slurring, his hand listlessly strumming chords, you know he died long before 1953. When he says, "My best songs are so depressin'," the crowd laughs and Hank smiles knowingly. And when a woman yells out, "Make us cry, Hank" everyone knows that it's true. In a way Waters', or is it Williams', monologue becomes unnecessary, even embarrassing, after a while. He talks about looking forward to the rest of 1953 and of how the newly-elected team of Eisenhower and Nixon might be able to bring the boys home from Korea. Hank dedicates You Win Again to "the bums," the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team, whom he says are the favorites of all the losers and ramblers who have no place to call home. And throughout the night Hank counts down the minutes to the new year. But the countdown is a more chilling one than that and when he leaves the stage after singing the haunting Angel of Death, it's 20 minutes early. "Happy New Year Hank!" the crowd yells out as he departs one last time. $124 00 SOFT CONTACT LENSES Per pair • Super Fitting Rex Soft 60 • Satisfaction or Money Back • All Fees Inclusive • Free Fitting, Consulting • One Price GLASSES $34S COMPLETE FRAME PLUS SINGLE VISION SAFETV6LASS LENSES OR CR39 LENSES "Student Discount Available Eyeglasses'' KAUFMANN & JESSA OPTICAL SHOP 341 NORTH ROAD -tm «<» COOUITLAM 931-7441 »,c* „^!«L,. * BETWEEN COLOMBIAN NEAR GRANVILLE PAPER ANO LOUGHEED 1535 W.

The Management Accounting profession is an idea whose time has come. The economic situation may be a problem for many, but it's an opportunity for the RIA Management Accountant. The business climate has never been so competitive. Government must restrain costs while meeting social needs. So there is growing demand and scope for RIA Management Accountants. The professionals. As the name suggests, they are not accountants in the traditional sense of the word. Their RIA training provides a thorough grasp of accounting principles and information systems. In addition, they are trained to interpret quantitative data from the management perspective. Their focus is on the future as they work with senior management to plan policy and achieve objectives. So it's not surprising that so many men and women with the RIA professional edge become senior managers. The profession is open to everyone with a taste for hard work and the will to succeed. Business graduates can often earn RIA accreditation in two or three years of evening study. Many B.A.'s, B.Sc.'s and other non-business graduates can also qualify for RIA course exemptions.
