We\nshould hold off on the UVic\nengineering department until better\ntimes,\" said Neil Smith, engineering undergraduate society vice-\npresident.\nThe government recently\nallocated $1.5 million for expansion\nof UVic's $15 million school, at the\nsame time reducing UBC's expansion money from $1 million to\n$750,000 for 1984-85.\nAxel Meisen, applied science\nassistant dean, said the funding of\nUVic's program should not be\nundertaken at the expense of UBC's\nschool. \"We are not trying to take a\nparochial view, but funding should\nnot be cut from UBC.\"\nMeisen said the quality of\nUBC's engineering department is\non the decline because of the high\nstudent to professor ratio. Record\nenrolment this year decreased the\namount and quality of interaction\nbetween students and faculty, he\nsaid.\nStaff and funding reductions impaired the department's ability to\nattract top scholars, he added. \"We\nare finding it difficult to attract and\nretain specialized people because of\nthe cuts.\"\nIn 1970, the department had a\ntotal of 108 faculty members and\n1,362 undergraduate and graduate\nstudents. Now, it only has 103 lec\nturers and 2,271 students. Many\nlabs and classes are overcrowded as\na result.\nThe department needs more\nmoney for equipment, Meisen said.\n\"We have relatively little equipment. Obsolescence has been a major problem and we haven't been\nable to cope with it.\"\nThe government allocated\n$150,000 in 1983-84 for new equipment but the department needs five\ntimes that amount, he said.\nThe University of Victoria will\nopen its engineering school this fall\nfor 70 first and 40 second year\nstudents, with programs in electrical and computer engineering.\nLawrence Pitt, UVic engineering\nschool coordinator, said he does\nnot anticipate any enrolment or\nresource problems. Although the\nschool is only accepting first and second year students, it will increase\nthe levels available as the students\nadvance.\nFaculty members THE UBYSSEY\noppose restraint\nBy CHRIS WONG and PATTI FLATHER\nSome UBC faculty members are going public with their concerns about\nthe provincial government's attitude towards higher education.\nThe committee of concerned academics is placing a half page advertisement in The Sun and The Province to outline its criticisms of the government's failure to fund education adequately.\nCommittee member Phillip Resnik said the committee gathered about\n800 signatures to appear with the ad that will likely run March 10.\nThe ad attacks the Social Credit government for failing to pass on increases in education funding under the Established Programs Financing\nagreement with the federal government.\n\"The B.C. government is refusing to pass on the tens of millions of\ndollars in additional federal grants for post-secondary education made\navailable under EPF arrangements,\" the ad charges.\nIt suggests the federal government should impose sanctions against provincial governments diverting funds intended for education.\n\"I think this will be quite welcome to a fair amount of federal politicians,\" Resnik said.\nThe sanctions might be similar to ones inposed on provincial governments charging user fees for health care, he said. The Canada Health Act\ngives the federal government a mandate to offset extra profits made by the\nprovinces with a decrease in health transfer payments.\nDrawing an analogy with the health care system will bring attention to\nthe funding crisis in education, he said, adding a newspaper ad will increase\npublic awareness of the problem.\n\"The feeling is that the issue is sufficiently important that something\nmore public has to be done \u00E2\u0080\u0094 what could be more public than a newspaper\nad with hundreds and hundreds of signatures?\"\nResnik said he thinks the ad will be an effective means of communication. \"I don't think we have an illusion of convincing the provincial\ngovernment. But (the ad) will not just go unnoticed,\" he said.\nThe committee collected more than $5,000 in one month to pay for the\nads, said committee member Donald Fisher.\n\"We took copies of the ad and went around through friends, colleagues\nand any route that was open to us,\" he said.\nGears fight back\nVol. LXVI, No. 39\nVancouver, B.C.

EUS vice-president Neil\nSmith said many students have supported the campaign so far.\nThe EUS is worried that continued underfunding of the department will threaten the accreditation\nof UBC engineering graduates, who\nare emerging from a school no\nlonger noted for its excellence.\n\"If your school is no longer accepted as an accredited school, then\nyou won't be able to get a professional degree.\"\nThe department is currently experiencing overcrowding and\nlimited resources, Smith added.\nDan Lambert, managing director\nof the Association of Professional\nEngineers in B.C., said the association is aware of the student\nengineers' concerns but has not yet\ntackled the problem publicly.\n\"If engineering departments in\nB.C. are hurting from underfunding, ultimately they will have to\noperate within the funds which they\nhave. I suspect there are too many\nengineers graduating,\" he said.\nSmith admitted the engineers'\nconcerns might be premature, but\nsaid the department must react\nquickly to the beginning signs of a\ndecline in its quality. \"The roots of\nthe problem are showing.\"\nEngineering students are also\ncomplaining about UBC's program.\nSteve Town, engineering 2, said\nthe department lacks adequate\nfacilities. \"There are not enough\ncomputer for engineers at UBC.\"\nBy PATTI FLATHER\nA probable candidate for the\nLiberal Party leadership tried to\nwoo UBC students Monday by calling for two years employment with\ntraining for every young person in\nCanada.\nJim Coutts, an unsuccessful\nLiberal candidate for Spadina in\nToronto and former parliamentary\nsecretary to prime minister Pierre\nTrudeau, told 40 people in\nBuchanan 203: \"Every young\nCanadian will be guaranteed by\nsociety, by government, two years\nof work with training.\n\"As it is, we provide them with\nU.I. or welfare already. Surely the\njob experience and structure in their\nlives would be better,\" Coutts said.\nAn Albertan rumoured to be\nLiberal Party leadership hopeful,\nCoutts estimated such a program\nwould cost an initial $6 billion. But\nhe predicted the cost would repay\nitself after 18 months due to savings\nin unemployment insurance and\nwelfare.\nCFS survives referendum\nOTTAWA (CUP) \u00E2\u0080\u0094 In the tense 20 minutes\nbefore referendum results were announced, Mark\nlenihan thought the Canadian Federation of Students\nwas doomed at the University of Prince Edward\nIsland.\n\"I think we blew it,\" the federation's Atlantic\nfieldworker confessed when polls closed Feb. 8. His\nfears were based on last minute opposition by student\ncouncilors who called the federation's political wing\nineffectual, non-representative of Atlantic interests\nand lacking focus.\nBut UPEI students came through. One hundred\nand eighty-two of the university's 1,700 students\nvoted to join CFS, while 140 voted no. About 19 per\ncent of the eligible voters cast ballots.\nThe UPEI referendum followed a predictable pattern the federation will likely enjoy for the rest of the\nterm. The two-year-old organization has already won\nfour campuses this year \u00E2\u0080\u0094 UPEI, Laurentian\nUniversity in Sudbury, the University of Regina and\nthe University of Alberta.\nThey will likely win at least five more by the end of\nthe term, putting their full membership at 33.\nAt first glance, it appears the federation is attrac\ntive to Canadian students. Last year CFS was in a\nvery precarious position, with a $47,000 deficit, an\nunhappy membership, and a radical image on campus. Students across the country dealt the federation\na series of disastrous losses, including the all-\nimportant University of Toronto. Now CFS is financially solid, has a strong membership base and faces\nlittle internal dissent. Right-wingers still oppose the\nfederation, but at most campuses they don't have\nenough power to kill a referendum.\nOn the surface, the federation is operating\nsmoothly.\nBut Ann Travers of the University of Guelph says\nthe federation's recent, successes have come at the\nprice of its principles. Travers, vice president of the\nleft-leaning student council at Guelph, is urging\nstudents to vote no in the March 12 membership\nreferendum\n\"They don't want to have policy,\" Travers said\nafter returning from a November general meeting.\nShe ran for federation chair on an activist platform,\nbut lost to Beth Olley, a self-proclaimed moderate\nfrom the University of Saskatchewan.\nSee page 2: CFS\nIn his speech sponsored by the\nUBC Young Liberals, Coutts\ncriticized the massive unemployment levels in Canada for 15 to 24\nyear olds.\n\"To me, the approach of saying\nwe can accept $1.5 million young\nunemployed is simply not acceptable.\"\nCoutts said the huge problem\ndeserves the attention of \"progressive, small '1' liberals.\" He said\nhe supported current federal\ngovernment attempts at youth job\ncreation, such as the Youth Opportunity Fund and the creation of a\nministry of state for youth.\nBut Coutts said the Liberal party\nmust dramatically shift its policies\nto place more emphasis on the issue\nof youth unemployment.\n\"Where youth are concerned it is\njust too destructive to have a society\nwhere the first experience one has\nwhen leaving school is searching\nand searching for a job.\"\nCoutts called well-trained, well-\nmotivated people the greatest\nresource Canada has and claimed if\na job creation program is well\ndefined and explained the private\nsector will support it.\nPast federal job creation programs such as Canadian University\nService Overseas and tax incentive\nprograms have been very effective,\nCoutts said.\n\"You don't see these programs\nbecause they're invisible.\"\nCoutts said he was uncertain\nwhat caused high unemployment\nbut blamed the structure of the\nlabor market and resources industries.

At that general meeting,\ndelegates voted down a motion to\ncondemn the U.S. invasion of\nGrenada, withdrew official CFS\nparticipation in the Peace Petition\nCaravan, refused to support\nteaching assistants having a contract dispute with UBC administration, and referred a motion to\nabolish all CFS policy on \"non student issues\" to the federation's central committee.\nIn a recent interview, Travers\nOops\nIn the story Wolf kill profits\nwealthy few (Feb. 24), Paul Watson\nof Project Wolf was quoted incorrectly. The second to last sentence\nshould have read: \"In 95 per cent of\nthe areas where wolves once lived,\nthey are now extinct.\", not 15 per\ncent.\nsaid the federation's step away\nfrom controversial issues is making\nCFS more attractive to students.\nShe said she still supports the concept of a national student organization to defend the interests of\nstudents, but CFS is politically\ndead.\nGuelph students are not the only\ntraditional CFS supporters who\nhave turned cold to the organization. University of Trent students\nwill likely to the polls this term, and\nmembers of the student council executive say they will not take an official stand on the issue. Observers\nsay this would be tantamount to a\nkiss of death for the federation at\nthat campus.\nBut even if CFS loses some of its\ntraditional supporters, the federation will at least remain stable.

Education channels for the wealthy\nare being improved. The net effect has to be\ncreation of an elite,\" Patricia Marchak, an\nNDP candidate in the May provincial election, told 200 people in Angus at UBC's\nweekend B.C. Under Restraint Conference,\nsponsored by the committee of concerned\nacademics.\nIn her speech concerning ideology and\nrestraint, Marchak said only ideology and incompetence can justify the Social Credit\nbudgets.\n\"We have been fighting ideology with fact.\nWe are missing the targets.\"\nMarchak said government euphemisms\nsuch as restraint, downsizing, and high\ntechnology are used deceptively. But the\nword \"democracy\" is no longer heard, she\nsaid.\nFor example, a fiscal crisis requiring\n\"restraint\" never existed, Marchak argued.\n\"A recession is not a fiscal crisis. Our\nvulnerability to such a drop in demand is due\nto our dependence on a single export product\n(lumber) and a single market (the U.S.).\n\"The cause of more woes is a lack of industrial planning.\" She added the Socreds\nare not trying to change B.C.'s economic\nstatus.\nMarchak said, to audience laughter, the\nSocred definition of high technology is\n\"anything that's not made out of wood.\"\nAnother speaker on the panel, UBC\neconomics professor Robert Allen, charged\nthe government has failed to provide evidence\nfor the problems it claims prompted the\nrestraint program.\nAllen said the budget presumes a lack of\ninvestment in B.C. But the province has one\nof the highest investment rates in the world\nand 90 per cent of this is private, he said.\nThe Socreds also claim education absorbs\ntoo much public money, he said, adding B.C.\nspends less on education, relative to personal\nincome, than any other province.\nAnd B.C. is not educating enough students\nto meet the demand for university graduates,\nhe said. B.C. has one of the lowest educa\ntional participation rates in Canada.\nUBC education professor and panelist\nJohn Andrews emphasized the disastrous effects of underfunding on young people, professors and educational institutions.\nAndrews said the Socreds have discouraged people from getting an education at a time\nwhen the public sees education as a way out\nof the recession.\n\"Even if enrolment increases the budgets\ndo not.\"\nEducators are also suffering from the\ngovernment's refusal to fund institutions\nadequately, he said. \"There's flatness that\ntakes over and kills the cutting edge of education.\"\nStructural damage to educational institutions will inevitably result, he added.\nGov't ignorant\nabout B.C.'s rights\nHuman rights will not be protected in B.C. because the provincial government fails to understand\ntheir importance, the former chair\nof B.C.'s now defunct human rights\ncommission charged Saturday.\nCharles Paris told 100 people attending UBC's weekend B.C.\nUnder Restraint conference that the\ngovernment killed the commission\nJuly 7 to increase its control over\nevery aspect of human rights.\n\"The human rights commission\nwas destroyed not because it didn't\ndo its job, but because it did it very\nwell. It spoke out independently,\"\nhe said.\nCalling the government \"crassly\nignorant\" about human rights,\nParis said the existing rights code\nwill not ensure human rights will be\nprotected. Only a commission\nsimilar to the one abolished could\nhelp prevent violations, he added.\n\"A human rights code can be put\nin place of the dead commission but\nthere is not enforcement of human\nrights.\"\nParis praised the public for its\ncriticism of Bill 27 \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the Human\nRights Act which originally abolished the commission. Although the\nbill later died on the order paper\nbecause of public pressure, the\ngovernment did not reinstate the\ncommission.\nFellow panelist Peter Cameron\nsaid 70 per cent of human rights\nviolations occur in the workplace\nand that access to a human rights\ncode was not even available to\nworkers now.\nA member of the health sciences\nassociation, Cameron said the\ngovernment fails to consider the interests and concerns of workers\nwhen drafting legislation and formulating policy.\n\"The economic strategy of the\nSocreds is that foreign investment is\nessential and the budget is the wish\nlist of a high tech investor who\nwould be anti-labor, rent and\ngovernment legislative control-\nfearing and a tad right wing,\" he\nsaid amid hoots of laughter from\nthe crowd.\nRestraint full of lies\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 nail lucente photo\nSTUDENTS FLOCK TO TOUCH garment of potential Ubyssey editor reflecting recent staff trend towards\nyouth and naivite.

(CUP)\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nThe University of Trent administration eliminated office space for the\nstudent-funded rape crisis centre\nand the campus gay and lesbian\norganization.\nThe university recently sold the\nbuilding which houses the centre,\nthe gay and lesbian group and the\nstudent newspaper, Arthur. It only\noffered alternative space to Arthur.\nVice president administration\nJohn Earnshaw said while the\nnewspaper is \"an integral part of\nTrent,\" the other groups are of\n\"secondary\" importance.\n\"They're pulling the rug right out\nfrom under us,\" said centre collective member Pauline Duffett. \"If\nwe lose office space it will totally\njeopardize our operations.\"\nThe centre was created by the\nuniversity administration in 1977,\nafter five women were raped on\ncampus. The centre is funded by the\nTrent student union, colleges and\ncity hall. Until now the administration has provided space.\nCentre representative Marilyn\nMcLean says instances of sexual\nviolence have increased since 1977.\n\"If there was a need in 1977, there\nis more than one now; our crisis\ncalls are increasing all the time.\"\nOne collective member said calls\nhave quadrupled in two years,\nfollowing the recent upsurge in sexual assaults across Ontario.\nEarnshaw suggested the groups\nlook more seriously at outside funding sources such as the United\nWay to get money for rent. But centre representative Colleen Day said,\n\"We could never get money from\nthe United Way, unless we stopped\nbeing political. If we don't have a\npolitical function, we might as well\nclose down.\"\nStudents involved in the evicted\ngroups charge the administration\nwants to get rid of them because\nthey are involved with contentious\nissues.\nWomen involved with the rape\ncrisis centre point to a conflict in\nviews between themselves and a\nuniversity committee set up to study\nsexual harassment on campus and\nrecommend grievance procedures.\nWhile the centre insists harassment\nis a labor issue seen in the context of\npower between boss and employee,\nthe university prefers to deal with\nharassment as an unfortunate\nperversion to be dealt with when it\nbecomes too overt.\n\"What is the difference between\nprofessor-secretary relations or\neven professor-student relations\nand employer-employee relations?\"\nsaid the centre's Margaret Johnson.\nUBC does not have a rape crisis\ncentre on campus, although several\nincidents of sexual assault have occurred in the University Endowment Lands.
