" Women plan Godiva picket\nThe Alma Mater Society\nwomen's committee is picketing\nthe engineers' Lady Godiva ride\ntoday as part of its campaign\nagainst the sexist attitudes\ndisplayed during Engineering\nWeek.\nThe protest comes in the wake of\nan attack on the women's office at\nSUB 130 Monday morning in which\nmagazine photographs of nude\nwomen were taped to the walls,\ncommittee posters were stolen and\nmasking tape was strung\nthroughout the room.\nRCMP and Vancouver city\npolice, who are investigating the\nbreak-in, said the door to the office\nwas jimmied open and there is\nlittle chance the vandals will be\ncaught. Damage is estimated at\n$100.\nSheila Lidwill, spokeswoman for\nthe women's committee, said\nMonday she was shocked and\ndisappointed when she heard of the\nbreak-in.\n\"I didn't think anyone would\nwant to descend to this level,\" she\nsaid.\nLidwill said the women's committee was not laying the blame on\nany specific group. She said a\nmember of the engineering undergraduate society phoned the\nIn wake of attack on SUB office\nwomen's office to deny any involvement by- the EUS in the\nbreak-in.\nWomen's committee members\nnoticed shortly after they\ndiscovered the break-in that\nposters put up around campus\nprotesting the Godiva ride, in\nwhich a nude woman is paraded\naround on a horse, have all been\nripped down.\nDean of women Margaret Fulton\nalso voiced strong disapproval of\nthe break-in, and of the activities of\nEngineering Week.\n\"I was appalled when I arrived\non campus in 1974-75 with\nEngineering Week,\" Fulton said.\n\"I protested against the Lady\nGodiva ride and the Red Rag\nmyself at that\" time, but I don't\nknow what we can do until the\nattitudes of both men and women\ntowards this kind of behavior\nchange.\"\n\"The young men who take part in\nthese activities are socially\nilliterate. I'm sure it is only a\nminimum number who perpetuate\nthis insult, but it is an insult, not\nonly to women but to mature\nthinking.\"\n\"There seems to be two courses\nof action in regards to this\nbehavior \u00E2\u0080\u0094 waiting long enough\nand let it die a natural death or\ntake positive action against it.\"\nFulton said applied science dean\nLiam Finn, UBC president Doug\nKenny and Erich Vogt, vice\npresident of student and faculty\naffairs, should take some action.\nBut Kenny, who last year\ndenounced the engineers for the\nvandalism and the discrimination\nagainst women that took place\nduring engineering week, said he\nplans no concrete action to combat\nthe actions of the gears.\n\"The students in Applied Science\nhave shown much more caution in\ntheir antics. It's not as bad as it\nwas two years ago. We can only try\nto persuade them.\"\nKenny said the break-in was\n\"regrettable and deplorable,\" but\nadded that \"until we know who it\nis, I really can't make any\nstatements.\"\nFinn and Vogt are out of town.\nThe women's committee have\nplanned a number of actions,\naimed mainly at the Lady Godiva\nride and the Red Rag, to protest\nthe sexist attitudes these activities\ndisplay.\nAt a meeting Monday, the\ncommittee discussed plans to\nconfiscate copies of the Red Rag\nand send them to various ethnic\norganizations and the Professional\nEngineers Council.\nThe committee plans to lay\ncharges if possible against the\nindividuals responsible for\nproducing the Red Rag.\nThe committee will also put\nforward a motion at the student\nrepresentative assembly Monday\nrecommending the SRA publicly\ncensure the Godiva ride and the\nRed Rag as sexist.\nTHE UBYSSEY\nEnglish profs\ncriticize test\n[Vf \ M% '+*t\u00C2\u00BB l \"\"\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 jr t.\n*&&*?'?,)\n\"\"Hi\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A04\n*^iiih\nBy HEATHER CONN\nEnglish professors are highly\ndissatisfied with the Christmas\nEnglish 100 exam, failed by about\n40 per cent of the students who\nwrote it.\n\"I haven't come across any profs\nwho liked it,\" a highly placed\nsource in the English department\nsaid Monday. \"It was a very bad\nexam altogether.\"\nThe excerpt of Northrop Frye\nwent far beyond first-year standards and was not appropriate for\nfreshmen, the source said.\n\"It was much too difficult.

Manpower managers will\nusually stay in a position for about two years\nbefore moving on, he said, and such a short\nperiod of time may not be sufficient for a\nmanager to understand the UBC situation.\n\"What we're going to be seeing is a person\ncoming in for two years making contacts and\nthen moving on,\" Jiles said.\nUnder the agreement Manpower would\nprovide the office staff and furniture, and\nUBC would allocate rent-free space for the\noffice. The AMS and UBC administration\nmust still come to terms on how the pinball\nroom would be rented out to UBC for the\nManpower office.\nCruchley said Manpower has not had any\ncomplaints about the quality or consistency of\nservice at other campus Manpower offices.\n\"It hasn't really proved to be a particular\nproblem on other campuses,\" he said. Simon\nFraser University and the B.C. Institute of\nTechnology have both had Manpower offices\nfor several years, Cruchley said.\nCampus Manpower managers usually stay\nin their positions for about three to four years,\nhe said. n\nCruchley said a selection panel consisting\nof himself, metro Vancouver Manpower\ndirector Darcy Rezac and Pacific region\nManpower director Gordon Hubley, UBC\nstudent services director Dick Shirran and\nJiles, have chosen Raymond Chew to be the\nUBC Manpower office manager.\nManpower is very interested in establishing\nan office at UBC, despite the expense, said\nCruchley.\n\"We have an interest in career employment, being involved in a situation where\nyou can provide meaningful counselling. You\ncan provide a better level of service to\nnational corporations (with a Manpower\noffice).\n\"It (UBC) is also a major university,\" he\nsaid.\nThe Manpower office would have a staff of\nfive, Cruchley said, consisting of manager\nChew, two counselors and two clerical\nworkers. The budget for the office has not\nbeen decided upon yet, he said.\nOne of the counselors will be Cam Craik,\ncurrently a student services counselor,\nCruchley said. If there is any difference in the\nsalary Craik will be paid by Manpower and\nthat he now receives from the university it\nwill be up to UBC to cover the difference, he\nsaid.\nShirran said he hopes Manpower will be\nable to provide a consistent placement service to UBC students.

Others\nare tortured because they are\nrelated to political activists.\"\nBierne said children are often\nforced to watch their parents being\ntortured and then parents are\nforced to watch while their\nchildren are tortured.\n\"So mental anguish, as well as\nCHILEAN STUDENT is searched and questioned on streets of Santiago. Harassment, persecution,\nimprisonment and torture of opponents of Chile's brutal military dictatorship have become routine part of\nnational life. According to Amnesty International, two-thirds of United Nations members practice torture\nand other violations of UN bill of rights against dissidents.\nBacklash against liberal ed\nproducing standardization\nBy SUE VOHANKA\nCanadian University Press\nEducation reporter\nAlthough it's clear that the 1960s and the era of\nliberalized education are behind us, it's not yet\nevident how far education policies will rebound\nduring the 1970s.\nBut one thing seems obvious \u00E2\u0080\u0094 governments and\nadministrators are increasingly looking toward\nstandardizing education.\nAcross the country, administrators, politicians\nand editorial writers \u00E2\u0080\u0094 armed with results of\nproficiency and achievement tests at universities\nand colleges \u00E2\u0080\u0094 are demanding a return to the basics\nof reading, writing and arithmetic.\nAnd it's becoming clear that the proficiency test\nresults, which at some campuses show high\n\"failure\" rates, will be used to justify the imposition of more profound, long-term tools to\nstandardize education.\nIn some areas, universities may resurrect the\nstringent admissions tests which were withdrawn\nduring the late 1960s and early 1970s when research\ndemonstrated that the tes^s were unreliable indicators of a student's likely success in post-\nsecondary education. Instead, they tended to screen\nstudents on the basis of their social background.\nSome provinces, like B.C. and Quebec, are\nmaking that resurrection unnecessary by returning\nto more uniform curricula and more rigid testing at\nthe elementary and secondary levels.\nIn Quebec, a recently-released green paper on\nelementary and secondary education calls for a reassessment of the social sciences; a rediscovery of\nhomework, Latin, discipline and exams; a common\ncompulsory curriculum, and a longer school year.\nThe green paper, to go through a year of consultation, claims this \"back to basics\" approach to\neducation is needed to correct the evils of\nliberalized education.\nIt describes the comprehensive high school as \"a\ndehumanizing milieu (which) has become an empty\nbox of courses without sufficient structure. It\npromotes the expression of a new 'lax' culture, often\nending in social marginality.\"\nV\nAnd B.C. in the past year has seen a strong \"back\nto basics\" movement successfully introduce a\nstandardized, core curriculum in schools, over the\nprotests of many teachers who fought to retain their\nsay in course content and structure.\nIn Ontario, the education ministry will soon\ndecide between two reports which deal with the\neffectiveness of evaluation and testing methods in\nOntario.\nOne report, prepared for the Council of Ontario\nUniversities (COU), recommends that the\nprovince's secondary schools adopt \"a core\ncurriculum with a greater degree of standardization of content,\" that province-wide testing\nof student achievement begin, and that test results\nbe made available to the universities.\nThe report adds: \"However, if all of tliis does not\ntranspire, the committee recommends that Ontario\nuniversities collectively develop and use\nexaminations for university entrance.\"\nThe other report, prepared for the ministry by a\nwork group of seven Ontario Teachers' Federation\nappointees and six ministry appointees, shies away\nfrom the extensive use of standardized tests in\nelementary and secondary education.\nThe work group terms standardized testing\n\"merely one component of a total evaluation\nprocess at both local and provincial levels. Unfortunately, its use as the sole or major determinant\nof student performance for rendering accountability to the public has been overpublicized.\"\nRegardless of which report the Ontario education\nministry accepts, the result will be standardization\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094either co-ordinated by the ministry in elementary\nand secondary school curricula and tests, or by\nuniversities in the form of admission tests.\nStandardized education and testing are being\npresented as beneficial to students.\nThe Quebec green paper on elementary and\nsecondary education suggests that the liberalization\nof education has caused students; to become\nalienated, and is responsible for \"an absence of a\nsense of belonging, the difficulty of establishing\npersonal relationships. ...\"\nSee page 8: ACCESS\nphysical anguish is used,\" she\nsaid.\n\"It's difficult to understand how\nanyone can arrive at the position of\ntorturing someone else. Often, they\nare . political fanatics, who\ngenuinely believe their country is\nbeing invaded by spies,\" Bierne\nsaid.\n\"In other instances, which seem\nalmost inconceivable, at least to\nme, the torturers consider torture\njust like a job. Clocking in at nine,\nand clocking out at five.\n\"Many have explained they have\nreceived orders, and it would be\ndangerous for them to countermand those orders,\" she said.\nAmnesty International, which\nwon the Nobel Peace prize in\nDecember, 1977 was begun in 1961\nby a London lawyer, Peter Benen-\nson, who organized a letter campaign after reading about two\nPortuguese who were jailed for\ntoasting to liberty, Bierne said.\n\"Benenson was disturbed that\npeople could be jailed for such\nminor political opposition so he\nwrote a letter of protest to the\nPortuguese embassy,\" said\nBierne.\nHe also wrote a newspaper article appealing to people to react to\nnews stories of political prisoners\nby writing letters to embassies,\ngovernments and generating local\npublicity.\n\"People did just that and found\nthat this action was effective;\nprisoners were being released so\nthe group grew to what it is today,\"\nshe said.\n\"It's obvious we have to take a\nlonger term action because from\nresearch done with prisoners of the\nSecond World War, it has been\nlearned that the psychological\nscars from political imprisonment\nare not short term.\n\"Some people will leave prison\nand lead essentially normal lives\nonly to relive their prison experiences years after.\nSo it is necessary to learn how to\nrehabilitate these people, Bierne\nsaid.\nAmnesty also has research\nprojects to study the international\naspects of torture such as the\nexchange of information and\ntorture techniques.\n\"When we do have names of\nalleged torturers we trace their\ntravels and contacts to see if we\ncan gather information about them\nand their methods,\" Bierne said.\nBierne said that like any other\ninterest group Amnesty International is not always well\nreceived.\n\"Certainly we often find people\nare apathetic about our cause but if\nwe can show people that their\npolitical leaders are torturing\nprisoners in the name of their\nsocieties, we believe these people\nwill react and say that they don't\nwant human beings tortured in\ntheir names.\"\n\"People have criticized us and\npointed to the Plyusch case, (a\nRussian dissident freed in 1977),\nand said we can only succeed with\nwell-known personalities.\nBut Amnesty strives through its\nletters, telegrams and local\npublicity to make all cases\nprominent, she said.\nIn Plyusch's case we made the\npoint that he was obviously not a\npsychiatric case, so we asked the\nRussians: \"Why do you have him\ninside your mental asylum?\" she\nsaid.\nAmnesty International is funded\nentirely through membership fees,\nBierne said.\n\"We have strict rules about\nwhere we accept our money from.\nWe don't take any government\nmoney and set a maximum of five\nper cent of our total funding from\nany one source,\" Bierne said.\nTel union picket\nblocks SFU road\nBy KATHY FORD\nPicketers from the Telecommunication Workers Union\nblocked access to Simon Fraser\nUniversity Monday, causing a\nminor disruption of campus activities.\nThe line was set up at Gaglardi\nWay at Curtis to stop supervisors\ngoing to SFU to empty pay\ntelephones. The picket line is the\nlatest in a series of such actions\nwhich started when B.C. Tel locked\nout union members early in\nNovember.\nB.C. Hydro bus drivers honored\nthe picket line, leaving their\npassengers at the bottom of\nGaglardi Way, resulting in a walk\nof about two kilometres for people\nchoosing to cross the line and\ncontinue to SFU-\nBut most people honored the line,\nNew Westminster strike zone\ndirector Don Bremner said\nMonday.\n\"We got an excellent response\nwith only a few people going in,\" he\nsaid.\n\"The response was good from\nthe students and excellent from\nB.C. Hydro. A lot of students\nphoned the strike headquarters to\nfind out what it was all about.\"\nBurnaby zone director Ed Perry\nsaid the picketers arrived at 5 a.m.\n\"That's when those sneaks (B.C.\nTel supervisors) try to empty the\nphones,\" he said.\n\"There'll probably be a bloody\ninjunction tomorrow (to prevent\nfurther picketing of SFU) but we\nwon't have to go there again.\"\nSFU information officer Ken\nMennell said the picket line caused\nonly minor disruption. The\ncafeteria services closed until noon\nwhen the line was lifted and\nunionized cafeteria workers came\non campus.\nMany students and faculty were\nlate for class but nothing was\ncancelled.\n\"It (the picket) didn't cause too\nmany problems,\" Mennell said.\nA May conciliation report\nrecommended B.C. Tel set up a\nstudy of contracting out, the major\nissue involved in the dispute. The\nreport suggested such a study be\nconducted over a period of from 12\nto 18 months by a committee with\nlabor and management representatives and a neutral chairperson.\nThe union voted to accept this\nbut management refused.\nMennell said that soon after the\nlockout occurred, the university\nadministration delegated one\nperson to deal with B.C. Tel.\n\"He will only call in a repair\nservice if there is a complete\nemergency,\" Mennell said.\nHe said union members who\nrefused to cross Monday morning's\npicket line will not be reprimanded\nbut will likely not be paid for the\nwork time they missed.\nAt UBC, information officer Al\nHunter said the university does not\nhave a position on the strike but no\ninstallations or moving of\ntelephone equipment will be\ncarried out for the duration of the\nstrike lockout.\nB.C. Federation of Telephone\nWorkers business agent Donna\nAlexander said that if supervisors\nattempt to empty pay telephones at\nUBC pickets will go up. She said\nthat because there have been no\npickets at UBC the pay telephones\nlikely have not been emptied\nrecently.\nSimilar flying pickets have also\ndisrupted B.C. Ferries and some\npost offices. Page 4\nTHE UBYSSEY\nTuesday, January 10, 1978\nStunts grotesque, sickening\nTo anyone who saw the\ninsides of the women's office\nin SUB yesterday morning,\nthe scene was a bad dream, a\ntotally grotesque and disgusting dream.\nHundreds of photographs\nof naked women from\nso-called men's magazines\nstared down from the walls,\nand the leaflets and posters\nwhich usually graced the\nwalls and shelves of the\noffice were strewn across the\nfloor.\nThe engineering undergraduate society is not taking\nresponsibility for the\ndebacle, but it is quite possible that a group of gears\ncelebrating the first day of\nEngineering Week were behind the latest and most blatant attack against progressive\nwomen on campus. If some\nother group was behind this\nsacking, then a very grotes-.\nque joke has been played on\nthe gears and on women.\nThe Ubyssey has opposed\nthe employment of disciplinary powers of the\nadministration because of\npossible misuse.\nBut breaking into an\noffice, and destroying and\ndefacing its contents is clearly a crime. The condition the\noffice was left in was an\nabomination to almost everyone on campus, regardless of\ntheir views on the activities\nof the Alma Mater Society\nwomen's committee.\nThe vandalism is much\nmore disturbing than the\ngears' activities of two years\nago, which drew a stiff verbal\nreprimand from administration president Doug\nKenny, or the silencing of\nSouth African MP Harry\nSchwarz, which Kenny dealt\nwith in an unfortunate manner.\nKenny must move swiftly\nand take strong action against all those responsible. The\nwomen's committee plans to\nlay charges against the\nhooligans, and we hope\npolice investigations prove\nsuccessful.\nWhy did this happen? Perhaps because the women's\ncommittee dared to publicly\nprotest the barbaric Lady\nGodiva ride and the racist,\nsexist content of the Red\nRag. These two 'institutions'\nrun counter to what is supposed the basic principle\nbehind any university \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the\nadvancement of knowledge\nand tolerance for all humankind.\nRestriction of these\nHow would you feel if I told you it was my sister on the horse?\nactivities come under the\nquestion of freedom of\nspeech and expression.\nYesterday's sacking shows\nhow little regard some students have for those rights.\nPerhaps the gears' two\ncherished institutions should\nbe dealt with in a similar\nmanner.\nWhether or not gears were\nresponsible for yesterday's\nvandalism, the mentality behind the action bears a\nstriking similarity to that\nbehind the ride and the Red\nRag. Students, and the\nadministration, must curb recurrences of all three events.\nWe trust that many intelligent engineers are unhappy\nwith the Engineering Week's\nactivities, and we know that\nthey and many other students are ashamed of what\nhappened yesterday.\nDisciplinary or legal\naction will not heal the\nwound. Students must support the women's committee\nin its effort to halt the Lady\nGodiva ride and the sexist,\nracist content in the Red\nRag.\nSuch support for the\ncommittee will be a\nrepudiation of moronic\nactions and traditions, and\nwill prove that UBC students\nsupport the advancement of\nhumanity.\nLetters\nGodiva ride upsets DeMarco\ndisappointing to see that the is false, why encourage mis- necessarv to these activities\nr\nIt is disappointing to see that the\nengineering undergraduate society\nhas again this year organized a\nLady Godiva ride.\nThe argument in favor of continuing the tradition is that it is not\nmeant to be taken seriously, and is\ntherefore harmless. Well, I don't\nblame those who take it seriously. I\nsay that the act of publicly\nparading a nude female before a\npredominantly male horde of\nexcited engineers is not harmless.\nHere are some reasons:\nIt offends some people. Maybe\nyou're not offended, but is it wrong\nto have some consideration for\nthose who are?\nIt gives engineers a bad\nreputation. Even if the reputation\nis false, why encourage misconceptions?\nIt helps to perpetuate the male\ndomination of the engineering\nprofession, because it associates\nthe profession with males (horny\nmales, moreover) and it may intimidate prospective female entrants to file faculty.\nNo matter how enlightened we\nmay all think we are, everyone\nwatching or participating in the\nspectacle gets a little bit of training\nin a bad habit \u00E2\u0080\u0094 i.e. the wrong way\nfor the sexes to behave toward\neach other.\nAs an engineering student, I\nhave always enjoyed activities\nwhich promote a sense of community in the faculty. However, I\ndon't think that a sexist theme is\nnecessary to these activities. Even\nsupposing, given the utmost optimism, that the Lady Godiva ride\nis only a relic of discarded attitudes, I think it is time to bury the\nrelic. (There will never be a\nshortage of reminders of what\nsexism was like.)\nI challenge the imagination of\nengineering students to create an\nevent in place of the Godiva ride\nthat will reflect the changes in\nattitude that are occurring \u00E2\u0080\u0094 and\nmaybe even lead the way a little\nbit.\nJohn DeMarco\nAMS president\ne\nA snobby club, by Georgi\n\"How much wood could a woodcock cock if a Woodcock could cock\nwood?\" What e'er the answer be, George Woodcock has done tenfold.\nI truly hope that I'm not in error by assuming that he was in fact\nreferring to other club members (Nov. 29) when he stated in The\nUbyssey, that a \"thinking man's stream of consciousness should\nremain uninterrupted.\"\nI do, however, agree with 'ol' George' that I would not appreciate\n\"low-brows\" in my club. I certainly hope that he satisfies my desires\nby staying in his club.\nProbably the most original and profound statement that George has\nsaid is, \"mind you, some of my best friends are students.\" I'm sure\nthat any ardent Dr. Suess fan got a chuckle out of that.\nIf George is an indication of what the Faculty Club has to offer, I can\nassure George that I do not fancy the honor of having a drink at the\nSnob Hill Social Club.\nPeter Chant Dave Tannar\n commerce science^\nThank Christ for Christmas rush\nTHE UBYSSEY\nJANUARY 10, 1978\nPublished Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout the\nuniversity year by the Alma Mater Society of the University of\nB.C.

That sounds\npeculiar. But both weeks are\nmisleadingly named.\nWomen's Week is not a\ncelebration of womanhood in the\nsame way in which Mother's Day is\na celebration of motherhood.\nRather it represents an attempt by\na small (too small) group of\nwomen on campus to promote\nandrogyny. The concept of an\nandrogynous woman cannot be\nseparated from that of an androgynous man. 'Let women be\nequal' entails 'let men be equal.'\nEngineering week is not now a\ncelebration of the power, creativity\nand wit of engineers, although no\ndoubt that is what it was originally\nintended to be. Male engineers\nhave accepted two false equations.\nFirst, they equated power,\ncreativity, and wit with\nmasculinity. Then they equated\nmasculinity with the domination\nhuman goals. The stupidity of the\nfirst equation which is accepted by\nthe planners of Engineering Week\nshould be particularly obvious to\nengineering students when they\nattempt to apply it to those of their\nnumber who happen to be female.\nThe second equation (to be\nmasculine is to dominate women)\nis even more pernicious than the\nfirst. Without the core of primitive\nerotic energy that is in each of us,\nwe would be no more than\nsophisticated computers existing\nin a valueless physical world.\nIt is the cohesive force of our\nerotic energy that brings into being\nthe rich and intricate pattern of\nhuman society, and it is this same\nerotic energy that compels each of\nus to act in and on the social world.\nEach individual's erotic energy\nis channelled through his or her\nsexuality so that it is experienced\nas male energy or female energy.\nBut when male energy is equated\nwith dominance and female energy\nperspectives\nand oppression of women. Thus it\nseems reasonable to them to\ndemonstrate their pride in their\nfaculty by writing articles and\nperforming rituals expressive of\nfemale degradation.\nEngineering Week has become a\nvehicle for the presentation of\nimages which serve the function of\nlocking people yet more securely\ninto traditional, stultifying and dehumanizing sex roles. The\norganizers of Engineering Week in\nits present form are the natural\nideological enemies of those who\nare working for the creation of an\nandrogynous society.\nThe positive characteristics that\nengineers wish their faculty to represent are, of course, characteristics that any sane human\nbeing would wish to incorporate.\nThey are not the exclusive\nproperty of one sex.\nWomen too strive for mental and\nemotional agility, hope to be able\nto envision enrichment of the\nhuman condition, and desire to be\neffective in shaping society so that\nit will incarnate their visions.\nSome women \u00E2\u0080\u0094 unfortunately,\nnot many at this point in time \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nfeel that becoming engineers will\nassist them in obtaining these\nJanet Mackay is a graduate\nstudent in philosophy.

Carried to an extreme, this belief makes men\nbrutal and insensitive, and woman\nself-destructive and ineffective. It\nsaps both sexes of their full\nhumanity.\nEvery year, when the few indignant letters come in to The\nUbyssey from women who have\nseen the Lady Godiva ride or the\nRed Rag, engineers pat women on\nthe head and tell us to take these\nthings 'in the spirit in which they\nwere intended.' They are probably\nsincere. Their purpose in dumping\non us is not to cause women\ndiscomfort but to glorify\nengineers, and so they can't understand why women should be\nsuch poor sports as to object.\nUntil now, women have been\ngood sports. In general, they have\nindicated their disapproval only by\nignoring the ride, and not reading\nthe rag. Such passive resistance is\na fitting response for those who\nhave accepted the traditional\nfemale role. But every child knows\np Candia Taverna\nSPECIALIZING IN\n228-9512 \u00E2\u0084\u00A2ssr 228-9513\nSPECIALIZING IN\nGREEK CUISINE\n& PIZZA\nFAST FREE DELIVERY - 4510 W. 10th Ave.\n:i\nQ\na\nQ\nI\nHILLEL HOUSE\nSchedule of Weekly Events\nMondays, 12:30-1:30\nSeminar on the Jewish Family\nTuesdays, 12:30-1:30\nIsraeli Dancing\nWednesdays, 12:30-2:00\nShefa Vegetarian Lunch\nCoffee and Herbal Tea available daily\nWatch for announcements of special events.\nSILLY GEAR . . . gets well-deserved boot(s)\nthat passive resistance is the worst\npossible strategy for dealing with\nbullying \u00E2\u0080\u0094 passivity actually\nencourages it.\nThe Lady Godiva ride is an\nannual event in this educational\ninstitution. It is semi-officially\nsanctioned, for although it is\ntechnically illegal, and everyone\nknows approximately when it is to\noccur, participants are never\nprosecuted. It is a piece of street\ntheatre that must require a substantial expenditure of time and\nmoney each year by the\nengineering undergraduate\nsociety.\nWe must stop being duped by the\nsuggestion that it is an unimportant publicity stunt that should\nnot be taken seriously.\nSuppose the engineers chose to\nglorify themselves by putting on a\nyearly pageant triumphantly\ndepicting white men's domination\nof other races as exemplified by\nthe exploitation of Chinese\nlaborers in the construction of the\nCPR? Would we be inclined to view\nsuch a pageant as a harmless\nprank? No, overt racism, unlike\nsexism, is no longer socially acceptable.\nIt has become unacceptable\nbecause its victims stopped\nsilently suffering its effects, and\nstarted fighting it.\n... The engineers' traditional Red\nRag and Lady Godiva ride are\nt.,,*- personally insulting to every\nwoman. They are socially\ndamaging because they serve as\npropaganda for the outmoded and\ndeadening sex role-playing that co-\nopts the erotic energy of both men\nand women. This energy should be\nliberated so that new social forms\ncan evolve or be created \u00E2\u0080\u0094 forms\nto make life not only more comfortable, but also more ecstatic for\nus all.\nWomen and men: If the\nengineers once again produce the\nRed Rag and the Lady Godiva ride\nin their usual offensive forms,\ndon't just ignore them.

Both\ncame on long passes, from the fast\nbreak with the 'Birds trapped up-\nice.\nRoss Cory and Derek Williams\nreplied for the 'Birds, beating\ngoalie Terry Kryczka. Cory's goal\nresulted from a lone rink-long rush\nby the smooth-skating forward,\nwhile Williams deflected a shot by\nDick Jellina.\nUBC adjusted its defence in a\nclose-checking second period to\nshut down Calgary's attempts at\nthe long pass. The only goal was\nscored by UBC's Rob Jordan on a\nslapshot from the right face-off\ncircle.\nIn the third, Calgary sagged\neven more as Lane Lavik, Sean\nBoyd, Jim Stuart and John Dzus\nnotched scores for the 'Birds, while\nJerry Orban and Irvine answered\nfor the Dinos.\nIn the second game the UBC\nlineup was beefed up by the return\nof Tom Blaney and Ted Fostey, two\nregulars who have been out with\nseparated shoulders. Blaney\nscored a pair, including the\neventual game-winner, and Fostey\ngot an assist.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094craig heale photo\nLUNGING LANE LAVIK of hockey 'Birds hits deck in front of Calgary goalie Jerry Farwell while Paul\nBlaney (3) takes charge and Russ Hall looks on. But UBC controlled over-all play in 6-2 win Saturday night,\ncompleting doublheader sweep.\nUBC goalie Ron Patterson was a\nstandout, treating 600 fans to a\nspectacular display as he turned\nback countless drives to backstop\nthe 'Birds to the win.\nUBC led 2-0 after the first period\non goals by Frank Gorrings and\nJohn Dzus, but Calgary came on\nstrong in the second, tying the\ngame on a pair of Jerry Orban\ntallies. But UBC then went ahead\nto stay on goals by Blaney, Sam\nBowman and Lavik:.\nBlaney got the only marker of\nthe third, tipping a Sam Bowman\nslapshot while Calgary's Bob Irvine was sitting out a five-minute\nmajor for slashing Cory on the\nupper arm.\n\"Maybe he was just frustrated,\"\nsaid Cory, holding an ice pack to\nhis arm. \"I don't remember\nanything special happening.\"\nCowan didn't think the major\nwas deserved.\n\"Irvine definitely deserved a\ntwo-minute penalty,\" he said.\nUBC coach Bert Halliwell said he\nwas impressed that UBC was able\nto contain the Calgary attack after\ntwo defencemen were hurt and the\nDinos had battled back to tie the\nscore.\n\"We had two defencemen get\nhurt in the first period, John\nJordan and Doug Tottenham,\"\nsaid Halliwell. \"I had to put John\nDuzzy (forward John Dzus) on\ndefence and we were down to four\ndefencemen.\"\n\"I was really proud of the way\nwe came back after that.\"\nIn exhibition action over the\nholidays, UBC lost 6-4 to the Richmond Intermediates just before\nexams.\n\"We were in a pre-exam slump,\"\nexplained Halliwell.\nUBC also tied the North Shore\nIntermediates 6-6, and beat the\nTrail Smoke Eaters 6-3, the Nelson\nMaple Leafs 6-4 and the Pacific\nJunior All-Stars 5-2.\nIt's not all bleak thpugh. The\nforces of cynicism took a heavy\nbeating when it was learned that\nthe plucky Thunderette volleyball\nteam won its own tournament\nSaturday at War Memorial Gym,\nturning back the famous Vancouver Chimos 2-1. Information to\nthe effect that the UBC team\ndressed up high school juniors in\nChimo uniforms is merely\nscurrilous rumor.

Page 8\nTHE UBYSSEY\nTuesday, January 10, 1978\nAccess ignored by new trend\nFrom page 3\nAnd the Council of Ontario\nUniversities report says a major\nreason it advocates standardized,\nprovince-wide tests is concern\nabout how fairly students are\ntreated when they apply for admission to university.\nThe COU report talks about \"the\nvexing question of comparability\nof grades reported by different\nschools, and of grades in different\nsubjects in the same schools. For\nexample, does a 60 per cent or an 80\nper cent in physics in school A\nmean the same in school B, and\ndoes a 60 per cent or an 80 per cent\nin physics mean approximately the\nsame as a 60 per cent or an 80 per\ncent in English?\"\nThe report adds that the degree\nto which secondary schools yary in\nmarks given for \"comparable\"\nperformance is substantial enough\nto affect whether a student is accepted into some post-secondary\ninstitutions, and whether a student\nis awarded a scholarship.\nThe report neglects to mention\nthe obvious financial implications\nof a strict core curriculum and\nstandardized tests.\nIn a time of education cutbacks,\ngovernments are no doubt attracted to standardized education,\nwhich could allow teachers to\nspend less time trying to cater to\nstudents' individual needs and development, and therefore allow\ngovernments to reduce costs by\nincreasing pupil-teacher ratios.\nThe whole concept of limiting\neducation to those who \"achieve\"\nin some measurable way is a\nreflection of those same education\ncutbacks.\nIt was not so long ago that the\ncrux of government reports lay\nwith education's usefulness as a\nsocial tool, to grant equal opportunity to students despite their\nsocial origins.\nUniversal accessibility was the\nkeyword, and the concept of\nachievement testing was discarded\nboth on its ineffectiveness and on\nphilosophical grounds.\nToday, the need for individualized instruction and\nevaluation is ignored by standardized tests. As the Ontario\neducation ministry work group\nreport points out:\n\"In assessing student\nachievement, it is understood that\nno set of objectives is equally valid\nfor all students in a group, and that\neach student progresses at his own\nrate.\n\"Furthermore, while a particular objective may be valid, it is\npossible that it cannot be either\nmeasured or recorded\nstatistically. And even when that\nobjective is measurable, there are\nindividual student needs which\nmust be taken into account.\"\nYet, in Ontario, proficiency and\nachievement tests are being used\nin an attempt to measure and\nrecord some skills that are\nprobably impossible to measure\nstatistically.\nWhat's more, the results of such\n\"experimental\" tests are being\nused to justify demands for increasingly standardized, structured education and evaluation.\nIn the fall of 1975, the COU began\nan experimental achievement\ntesting program among some first-\nyear students at Brock, McMaster,\nQueen's and Waterloo universities.\nIt showed that the mean score for\nBig or Small Jobs\nALSO GARAGES\nBASEMENTS\n& YARDS\n732-9898\nCLEAN-UP\nOfficial U.B.C.\nGraduation Portrait\nPhotographers Since 1969\nAnuuiraph. \u00C2\u00A3>tuiuna \u00C2\u00A3ti\\n3343 West Broadway\n732-7446\nI Subfilms covertly presents\n-WOODY\n;llujNS:\nISUB Aud Thurs & Sun 7:00\nI Fri & Sat: 7:00 & 9:30 75c ]\nI never knew Woodv Allen\nwas a Commie!\nstudents writing the English\nproficiency tests was 40.1, compared to a mean score of 41.9\namong a national sample of grade\n12 and 13 students who wrote the\ntest several years earlier.\nThe COU continued its testing\nprogram in the fall of 1976 among\nfirst-year students at McMaster\nand Carleton universities and the\nUniversity of Toronto's Erindale\nCollege.\nIt is likely that whatever the\nOntario government decided\nregarding standardized testing or\ncurriculum will have an impact on\nother provinces.\nBut neither the COU report nor\nthe ministry work group report\noffer palatable solutions \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nwhichever path the government\ndecides to follow will involve some\ndegree^ of standardization of\neducation.\nAnd although that may make the\njob of teachers and administrators\nand university admissions officers\neasier, it's not going to help\nstudents' individual needs or do\nanything to improve accessibility\nto post-secondary education.\nBACKTOSKOOL\nr\n\"\\nWomen's Intramural Program\nSchedule of Events 1977-78\nEVENT\nBasketball\nIce Hockey\nVolleyball\nFloor Hockey\n(1) Badminton\n(2) Curling\nSquash &\nRacquetball\nDEADLINE\nDATE\nACTIVITY\nDATE\nTYPE OF\nCOMPETITION\nTIME\nFACILITY\nWednesday\nJan. 18\nMonday-Tuesday\nJan. 23-29\nLeagues\n12:30-\n1:15\nMem.
