Political committee SUB opening to include Smoker botch now annual science event By FRANK FLYNN Alma Mater Society president Dave Zirnhelt condemned the science undergraduate society for holding its annual smoker in SUB. The SUS held the smoker in the SUB ballroom Wednesday night. "We don't want smokers in SUB," said Zirnhelt. "We don't want people getting arrested for activities in our building. "Furthermore, smokers don't help our image." The smoker, a regular SUS function, featured stag movies and a band. Strippers were slated to appear but did not. Although a spokesman for the SUS denied they had sponsored the event, the ballroom was booked by science. SUB management committee member Al Wait said Thursday the committee does not condone and had no knowledge of the smoker. "Such activity endangers our chances for getting liquor permits for future legitimate activities." (The SUS had no liquor permit for the smoker.) Wait said no group will be issued a permit for a smoker of any kind if the SUB committee has knowledge of plans. A science student who helped to organize the smoker, but would not allow the use of his name, explained to The Ubyssey the events that led up to Wednesday night's smoker. Last spring a dummy club was set up by Science under the name The Young Businessmen's Club, he said. Late last week a liquor licence was obtained for Wednesday night for the Alpen Hall at 37th and Victoria. Earlier last week a deposit was left with the owners of the hall to rent it for Wednesday, claimed the organizer, and again the name Young Businessmen's Club was used. "If we hadn't used a false organization, we would never have been able to get a liquor licence. The authorities were very inquisitive when we said we were from UBC, and wanted to know if we had ever had this sort of function before," the spokesman said. "Naturally, if we had told them we were from the SUS they would never have approved, because the Vancouver police have busted two of our smokers in the last three years." The spokesman went on to outline how films, strippers, and a band were lined up. "When the tickets were sold, the students were told to meet here at UBC and they would be transported to the location of the smoker. Only four people knew the real location until late Wednesday." Ticket holders were taken over to SUS with the understanding that they would be picked up there by buses. They Continued on Page 3 See: SCIENCE SFU council fires set to evaluate CUS open house broadside at CUS UBC's parliamentary council Thursday set up a com mittee to evaluate the relevance of the Canadian Union of | Students to UBC students. I The committee is to report to the parliamentary coun- g cil as to whether or not CUS policies reflect the aims of the * majority of UBC students. | Stuart Clark, arts 3, said the move was in reaction - to external affairs officer Tobin Robbins' ruling that the I head of the CUS sub-committee must support the aims of ; CUS. The sub-committee was set up to implement CUS policy at UBC. "We feel that the pro-CUS sentiment that elected Rob- ' bins is no longer in the majority here," said Clark. "The conservative elements on campus are frustrated by the present control of and adherence to CUS policies which they feel reflect a minority opinion in Canada. "If the committee's findings bear this out, then the . council will sponsor a move to have UBC withdraw from i* CUS." « Clarke said the parliamentary council, which consists of members of campus political clubs, was not taking an anti-CUS stand but was rather evaluating it. SUB will 'be officially opened in the third week of January. The SUB formal opening committee meets Mondays at noon in SUB 224. It is an open committee which anyone can join, said committee spokesman Chuck Campbell. Campbell said the formal opening will include dances, tournaments, a Gordon Light- foot concert and a sports car rally. At the bridge, bowling, billiard, and ping-pong tournaments, there will be experts in attendance. Open house will prevail in the evenings all through opening week, with all clubs taking part, Campbell said. Simon Fraser University student society council Thursday passed a motion to withdraw from the Canadian Union of Students. The decision now goes to SFU students for ratification in a referendum to be held next Thursday and Friday. "We are concerned with the expenditure of at least $6,000 which SFU would have to spend to remain in CUS," vice-president Chris Dumfries, who the presented the motion, said Thursday. "I don't think CUS has done anything that justifies spending that much money. After all, education is a provincial matter, we've to to deal with Bennett, not the federal government." President Rob Walsh who also supported the motion, said CUS has never shown itself relevant to SFU students' concerns. "CUS is an unrepresentative body of an unjustified expense," he said. CUS president-elect Martin Loney, former SFU student president has been invited to speak to the student body before the referendum.

Vut-ori edition taken off streets, cops seize copies MONTREAL (CUP)—Logos, the often - hounded Montreal underground newspaper, was seized by police Wednesday- after distributing a take-off edition on the Montreal Gazette. The paper was in regular Gazette drop boxes and sold on the streets by vendors. Logos managed to distribute over 600 copies before police moved in and confiscated all the paper they could find. They broke into the Logos office and took stacks of the papers away. Police arrested one Logos editor, Alvin Cader, who was arraigned Thursday for public mischief) and comes to trial next Thursday for preliminary hearing. The paper appeared, in regular Gazette format, just before the regular newspaper hit the stands. It carried a banner headline saying Mayor Jean Drapeau had been shot by a "dope-crazed hippy". All names in the article are misspelled and the Gazette logo was changed slightly. Vendors of Logos were arrested last summer for selling the paper without a permit though city hall refused to give them one, saying it was unnecessary). The case against the vendors was recently dismissed in city courts. Logos used a hippy to "kill" Drapeau because of Montreal's summer vendeta against city The Thunderbird WILL BE UPON YOU SOON ! !

Name Address City University __ Faculty, Year of Graduation- Zone Province Friday, October 18, 1968 THE UBYSSEY Page 3 — John frizell photo TERRY AND SUSAN JACKS of the Poppy Family drew a large crowd to their concert in SUB Thursday noon. Wonder if the crowd came to see the guy? Ombudsman just helpful, politics not part of job By ALEX VOLKOFF Ubyssey Council Reporter You've got someone on your side now. The Alma Mater Society's first ombudsman, IJob Gilchrist, runs an office on the main floor of SUB, opposite the information desk, devoted to hearing, and hopefully solving, student beefs. "There are an amazing number of things that students find wrong with the university, but don't know where to go to ask about them,'' Gilchrist said when interviewed Thursday. "Or else they have imaginative ideas and are afraid to go to council with them," he said. As Gilchrist sees it, students should involve themselves more with the office of ombudsman. "If a student comes in with a problem and I do all the work, it doesn't help him much. Students should take part in finding the solution." His position, he thinks, should be an organizational one, he said. The more interested students we have working in the office, the more problems we can solve." MORE RESPONSIBILITY According to Gilchrist students must take more responsibility if the position is to be effective. "It's so easy for the AMS to set up a committee to look into something, but that doesn't involve the average student." "I've been trying to see the heads of food services, the registrar's office and the traffic -office, but if we had more people in the office, we could share the various problematic areas." Gilchrist thinks the ombudsman's office should be able to implement student ideas. -SUB IMPERSONAL? "Students should be doing more in SUB," he says. "If we can't do something ourselves, SUB is going to be an impersonal thing." That's why the "Groovy Gardeners" club got started. "Lots of people are coming in asking for plants in SUB, and I don't see why we should pay great sums for someone else to do it, if we can do it ourselves." Above all, Gilchrist doesn't want the position of ombudsman to become political position or base: "This office shouldn't be involved with politics, but with students. "We don't want to get into any political scraps. Maybe it's a good thing we're situated so far from the other AMS offices." BLUE BLAZER REPS GONE Gilchrist wants to see more students attending council meetings. "Students should realize that the days of the blue-blazer AMS representatives are gone." "Councillors aren't gods." "If students come to the meetings, they'd see what a mess council has made of things." He's particularly upset that finance committee meetings are closed. "It's so hypocritical for the AMS to demand open senate meetings, and then close their own committee meetings." And he's also looking for constitutional revisions with regard to his position. "As ombudsman, I'm allowed to attend any meetings of AMS subsidiary organizations, but as the constitution stands now, I can't send anyone in my place." "Simon Fraser University's ombudsman can send other people in his stead, so I think it reasonable to ask for a constitutional revision on this question." Quebecers hold out to support demands MONTREAL (CUP) — Defiant students continue to hold six Quebec CEGEP's and a number of other post-secondary educational institutions despite threats from administrators to end the semester if they don't return to school immediately. Representatives of Quebec post-secondary schools in the province were scheduled to meet in Quebec city Thursday night to discuss further action. The schools occupied as of Thursday noon were: CEGEP's (Colleges d'Enseignement General et Professional) Vieux Montreal, Maisonneuve, Valleyfield, Lionel Groulx, Chicoutimi and Eduoard Monpetit, as well as four non^CGEP colleges. The faculty of social science (except economics) was occupied in L'Universite de Montreal and there were isolated occupations at Laval and Sir George Williams Universities. The only violence in the week-long protest was at Mont La- salle where a group of parents visiting the occupied school tried to rush the students and throw them out. The parents broke win- downs and injured four students before police came in and ended the battle. The students got unlikely support Wednesday frdm Real Caouette, leader of the Quebec Creditistes. He said he "didn't blame" the students and thought their grievances were just. Among the grievances are over-crowding, lack of employment and a shortage of French universities in Quebec. Meanwhile Education Minister Jean-Guy Cardinal moved closer to a dialogue with the students as he reiterated his promise of a second French-language university in Montreal by September 1969. He added that plans were underway for three additional universities in the near future. The minister issued a 25-page report late Wednesday night and announced the creation of committees designed to bring students closer to the centre of decision making. He said the economic and education planning department of the government were willing to arrange "round-table" talks with students, industry and labour unions to discuss job and economic development problems. At the same time he created a "student program of socioeconomic action" designed to bring students into studies conducted by the government on economic, educational, employment and vocational problems. Such a scheme, he said, would allow students not only to find solutions for problems, but also to "learn for themselves" what the "real issues" facing the government are. He said overcrowding at universities was due to heavy student preference for pre-university training, a preference that disregarded the demands of the labor market. The jobs are there, he said, students had only to search them out. Science smoker Continued from Page 1 were taken to the ballroom and found there the facilities waiting for them. "Security was very tight," said the organizer. "All liquor was spiked into soft drinks and the bottles were recapped. Had the police arrived, we were prepared to lock all the doors, and thus delay them until we had a chance to dispose of the evidence. "Everything was going smoothly until about 11 p.m. The students present obviously enjoyed the band and the master of of ceremonies. A number of stag movies were shown. "Our luck ran out when it came to the strippers," he said. "Apparently one of them was picked up by the police early in the day for some other actions. She refused to come tonight and the other girl wouldn't appear alone. "When we announced to the crowd that the strippers weren't coming, several became very vocal and demanded their money back. "It has been decided to refund three dollars of the five dollar admission price to those that would not take a free ticket to the Science dance later this term. "During the uproar, AMS president Dave Zirnhelt came in to investigate the noise. He was very upset when he found the smoker in progress." Zirnhelt attempted to address the sciencemen but disorganization prevented him. t3 gTVE 0OT TO catch mm]! *•*-** '- F-Xl*?^ Zs Q 3fe HE'S COfiING l/^COME ~0H\) Mm YOU STAV OUToF THISfjM DON'TUORW, I U/LL.'
