" Major parties join call for UBC poll\nBy TOM HAWTHORN\nCandidates from all three major\nparties have petitioned Canada's\nchief electoral officer for campus\npolling stations at UBC.\n\"Location of balloting boxes for\nstudents in residence at UBC inconvenient,\" states a telegram from\nNew Democrat Alan Bush, Conservative Bill Clarke and Liberal\nPeter Pearse, sent late Thursday\nnight to chief electoral officer Jean-\nMarc Hamel in Ottawa.\n\"University Hill secondary\nschool now proposed but too far\nfrom student residences. We the\ncandidates of the three major par\nties in Vancouver Quadra urge you\nto instruct R.O. (returning officer)\nHarold Morris to add two polling\nplaces.\"\nThe candidates are recommending that new polling stations be set\nup in the lounges at Gage Towers\nand Totem Park residence.\nThe move comes a day after Morris refused to establish any campus\npolling place, and less than a week\nafter NDP candidate Bush filed a\nformal complaint over the five kilometre distance between Totem Park\nand Place Vanier residences and\nUniversity Hill, where all residence\nstudents have been told to vote.\n(About 3,000 UBC residence students will be voting at University\nHill.)\nAnd the New Democrats are\nangry with Morris' stubbornness\nnot to change the location of polling stations used in the May, 1979\nfederal election.\n\"The job of the returning officer\nis to make voting convenient, not\nmaking it convenient for himself or\nhis paperwork,\" said Quadra NDP\ncampaign manager Les Storey.\nStorey said three NDP representatives spoke to Morris about the\nvoting difficulties, with little success.\n\"Mr. Morris' reaction to all three\nof us was less than adequate. It became difficult to talk to him about\nthe issue. I'm disappointed with his\nactions to say the least.\"\nMorris left his office early Thursday, and was unavailable for comment.\nLiberal candidate Pearse said he\ncannot accept Morris' decision that\nthe polling station list from May is\nstill adequate, because 3,000 residence students were living scattered\nthroughout the country then.\n\"I think there is a case for making special provisions for students\nin this election,\" he said while can\nvassing at UBC Thursday.\n\"Students face a special problem\nthis time. And they were caught\nwithout any enumeration.\"\nAnd without campus polling stations, the parties fear that students\nsimply will not bother to hike to\nUniversity Hill, with one estimate\nthat as many as half will not vote if\nthe weather is poor.\n\"The turnout is a large measure\ndependent on the weather,\" says\nClarke's campaign manager Doug\nMorrison. \"But even if it's a sunny\nday 1 don't think people in Totem\nPark will want to walk all the way\nto University Hill secondary school!'\nTHE UBYSSEY\nVol. LXII, No. 47\nVancouver, B.C.

His ineffectual record as\na board member speaks for itself in predicting a bevy of administrative deals for Armstrong's pet AMS projects while tuition fees\nrise and the bulldozers clear land for\nDiscovery Park.\n. As the board quietly made plans last year\nfor one of the biggest expansion projects\nthe university has ever seen, Armstrong's\nsilence on the issue was easily bought by\nslipping the AMS a few dollars here and\nthere for orientation week T-shirts, hamburgers and other items essential to\nstudents.\nBut Armstrong was not satisfied with occupying student board representation with\nsuch trivia, and soon launched the Alma\nMater Society into a time-wasting and self-\nserving constitutional debate.\nThough the new constitution was clouded\nby charges of improprieties, Armstrong\nrammed it through a short referendum\ncampaign claiming that he had students'\nbest interests at heart. But it was clear at\nthat point that Armstrong had his eye on\nthe president's chair.\nHe had been president once before in\n1978, but had to resign for academic\nreasons. Now he has been returned to\npower, but still plans to take a 12 unit\ncourse load while recovering from a difficult two month illness.\nArmstrong's campaign manager Shirley\nWaters says he will have no problem handling the course load and the presidency this\ntime, but for him to attempt it right now\nseems sheer egotistical folly.\nHe will not be on campus full-time until\nMarch, although Waters optimistically\npredicts his health will not be a problem\nafter that time. But even if Armstrong has\nno problems with his health or his workload, students are going to have problems\nwith his policies.\nHe has made promises to make the AMS\nand its clubs more attractive to students by\nerecting a new display in the SUB main concourse, and working with the UBC administration for more provincial grant\nmonies.\nA display in SUB would be another excellent monument to Armstrong's presence\nand would be more visible than his paper\nmonument constitution, but it would not\ndo much to help most students.\nAnd Armstrong's promise to work with\nthe administration for more grant money\nholds little hope in view of his record.\nHe was given a golden opportunity to\nwork with the administration to fight for\nhigher grant increases in his capacity as a\nboard member, but found little time to do\nso. As a result, student dissension to a\nboard proposal to index tuition fee increases was not heard until a time when the\nboard felt they could handle it.\nArmstrong's credibility as an effective\nstudent politician is low, and the only thing\nthat will save it is another important accomplishment towards student concerns.\nArmstrong was largely responsible for introducing the student bus pass system two\nyears ago. The system was a major achieve-\nAnalysis\nment for students and improved accessibility to the campus. But Armstrong dropped\nout of the transit fight too, while other\nstudents protested decreasing bus service\nand rising bus fares.\nArmstrong used his bus pass victory as a\nlaunching point for his lacklustre board\ncareer, and then used his board experience\nto run in the recent presidential election\nrace. Why didn't he quit while he was\nahead?

She\nsaid food prices have risen between\n18 and 50 per cent in the last year.\nUBC residence food costs are the\nsecond lowest in Canada behind\nthose at the Universite de Moncton\nin New Brunswick, she added.\nBut Pellizzon said residents will\nreact angrily to the proposal.\n\"Students are going to be very annoyed. It's going to hurt the\nstudents,\" he said.\nBoth Al Soltis, Gage community\ncouncil president and Craig Brooks,\nAlma Mater Society student housing access committee chair, said the\nincreases will be beneficial if the\nquality of food improves.\n\"To me it's a necessity because\nthey need the increase. If they do\nthis and students approve of it, it\nwill mean better food,\" said Soltis.\nBrooks added the proposed 22\nper cent increase is \"very high\" but\nsaid the increase \"could do a lot to\nincrease the quality of the food.\"\nSamson also said food services\nwould increase the cost of food to\nconference guests by 20.5 per cent\nand to the summer language program by 22 per cent.\nSamson said the food services\nplan would mean a $4.50 per day\ncharge per resident at UBC, compared with $4.78 at the University\nof Victoria and $6.27 and $6.30 at\nthe University of Calgary and the\nUniversity of Alberta respectively.\ntotally the result of federal funding\nhikes, he said.\n(Before 1977, educational funding was done on a federal-provincial cost-sharing basis, where federal funds were matched by the provincial government. But since then,\nfunding has been done as a block\ngrant which has no built-in agreement for matching contributions.)\nSterling Lyon's Tory government\nhas since been using federally-provided funds to replace its own contributions, Matas said.\nIn 1977 alone, Matas said, federal\nfunding for post-secondary education went up 60 per cent, while provincial spending only increased 11\nper cent.\nMatas said the \"ballooning\" effect on the federal funding amount,\ngiving increases far in excess of inflation, was irrelevant to his accusation, since some of this is due to a\ntax-based revenue clause.\nAnd Matas admitted that while\nthe Tories were involved in some\nnumbers games, they are not \"doing anything illegal.\"\nBrooks wins as new\nAMS admin director\nFrom page 1\ncombines the former positions of\nthe student administrative commission chair and AMS director of\nservices.\nBrooks won with 707 votes, leaving Onkar Athwal with 487 and\nDavid Jefferys, 224.\nAl Soltis, currently Gage community council president is the new\nexternal affairs officer with 746\nvotes, beating out Peter Chant with\n547. Len Clarke was re-elected as\ndirector of finance in the only uncontested seat with 1,125 yes votes.\nThe no vote was 234.\nThe new finance director said\nThursday he is optimistic the new\nexecutive will be an improvement\non the outgoing representatives.\n\"They're the type of people that\nare going to communicate and talk\nto each other. This is something the\nentire group was not able to do last\ntime,\" said Clarke.\nHaugen said she will help out the\npresident to make his job easier, as\nit is a large responsibility for one\nperson.\n\"In the past the president has\nbeen one very heavy position and I\nintend to help him in whatever way\nI can to make sure that he can do\nhis job more smoothly,\" she said.\nArmstrong was unavailable for\ncomment as he is currently in Vancouver General Hospital recovering\nfrom a brain aneurism.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 stuart dee photo\nFINE ARTS STUDENTS use fellow student as model in \"drawing from life\" class Thursday, sympathetic with\nproblems faced in digesting Totem Park food and still being able to sit through 50 minute class.

My personal\nfeeling is that it was a very proper\nthing for the Americans to do.\"\nThe U.S. could have won the\nVietnam war if the U.S. government had sent over more soldiers\nat earlier stages in the conflict, he\ntold 50 people in Buch. 102.\n\"We could have whipped the\nNorth Vietnamese and trained up\nthe South Vietnamese,\" he said,\nadding that once the Americans\nhad entered the war, they should\nhave stayed and won.\nDissension in army ranks is\nusually not a \"big problem\" but\nwas a threatening and disrupting\nforce in 1973, just before U.S.\ntroops left Vietnam, Collins said.\n\"It (protest) expresses another\npoint of view and that's what\ndemocracy is. It's probably been\nto the advantage of the nation as a\nwhole.\n\"All you can do is try to convince them that what they are doing (fighting war) is proper.\"\nCivilian opposition to U.S.\nmilitary involvement in foreign\ncountries is as American as apple\npie, said Collins. \"It's a fact of\nAmerica's life,\" he said. \"In\naddition to the general antipathy\ntowards militarism and a standing\narmy, there has been a strong religious pacifism.\"\nPublic protest against U.S. wars\nis healthy and war is a catalyst for\ngreat social changes, said Collins.\nAmerican military professionalism, as embodied in military\nacademies, increases after most\nU.S. wars, he added.\n\"We get into wars very frequently. At the end of the war the\nwhole establishment is dismantled.\"\nThe invasion of Afghanistan\nhas increased the possibility of\nAmerican confrontation with the\nCOLLINS . . . war is 'proper'\nSoviet Union and changed world\nstrategic positions, he said.\n\"If they (the Russians) cut off\nour oil, we'll send a task force to\nopen up the Persian Gulf.\" Collins was referring to the possibility\nof Russians trying to seize Middle\nEast oil fields and as a result, cutting off U.S. oil supplies.\nAdmits visiting professor\nNation's leaders inoffensive\nBROWN\nno charisma\nMost Canadian prime ministers\nwere elected because they were inoffensive and not obnoxious, a\nvisiting history professor said\nThursday.\nBut the measuring stick for\nCanadian leaders is their reaction\nto adversity, University of Toronto professor Craig Brown told 200\npeople in Buch 104.\nPrime ministers have recognized they are creatures of their own\nparty and attain success by being\ninoffensive, Brown said. But they\nhave often been forced to contend\nwith harsh circumstances and\ntheir ability to rise to the situation\nhas determined their effectiveness\nas leaders, he added.\nBrown said Canadian leaders\ntend to gain legitimacy through\nparty support rather than divine\nright or charismatic quality. \"In\nCanada, certainly none of the\nprime ministers have claimed to\nrule by divine right, although\nstating their own infallibility was\nanother matter,\" he said.\nBrown said no Canadian prime\nminister has gained power throug\ncharisma and added many people\nhave mistaken personality for\ncharisma in Pierre Trudeau.\nCanada's first prime minister\nJohn A. MacDonald was an example of a leader who encountered a combination of tough\npolitical problems and tragic personal events.\n\"But he always took things\ncheerfully,\" said Brown, who\nquoted MacDonald as saying,\n\"When fortune empties her\nchamber pot on my head I smile\nand say we're having a summer\nshower.\"\nBut despite their inoffen-\nsiveness, Canadian leaders must\nbe ambitious, Brown said. Page 4\nTHE UBYSSEY\nFriday, February 1,1980\nTake a hike\nOnce upon a time, in a strange land beyond the mountains, the head of\nmany lands was given an unceremonious boot from his throne. And the\nentire kingdom prepared to do boon by trudging to the king's polls. But not\nall were happy about this, having been asked to do boon work only 12 fortnights previous.\nAnd since the last ballot day was not long past, there was no quick census in the land, which suited most everyone's needs except these of the\nstudent serfs.\nYou see, these student serfs were scattered to the four corners in the\npast election, but had by now congregated in their own little hamlets\nthroughout the land. But most student serfs weren't written in the village\nroles. So, they had to have it done themselves.\nBut I digress. This tale is really about student serfs in the Duchy of\nQuadra, which was a pleasent enough place for them usually, except for an\nevil earl who only had power during campaigns.\nEarl Morris was a pleasant enough man most of the time. But one election he was told that student serfs had to walk five kilometres to vote,\nmuch farther than anyone else in the Duchy. And when the serfs told the\nnow-evil earl of their dilemma, he said, \"Quit your griping. Can't you walk\nthose few kilometres?\" And he would hear no more of it.\nMany of the student serfs had thought their cause was lost and quietly\nconsoled one another about how few of their friends could vote.\nBut at the darkest hour, the serfs found an unlikely champion for their\ncause. Not one, not two, but ALL THREE! of the candidates in the Duchy\nagreed that the serfs indeed had to walk too far. And the candidates tried\nto have the voting location changed.\nThe evil earl saw the error of his ways, and let the serfs vote right in their\nown village, hardly a novel idea, but one the serfs appreciated. And\neveryone in the village voted, and all was good. Even the earl felt better.\nBut who believes in fairy tales, right? What probably happens is that\nthose in-the-land-beyond-the-mountains say it's too late to change the\npolling stations. And it rains on Feb. 18 (or worse). And no students vote.\nAnd everyone is right royally pissed off. Welcome to reality.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'yymm\n'-mm-\n<^>u^crn/rS&r\nBy JIM ROWED\nMankind lives in absolute\nobligate symbiosis with the crops he\ngrows.

By the year 2000, that\nwill be shrunk drastically due to\nworld and local population\npressures. Presently we rely on\nCalifornia and Mexico for 60 per\ncent of our nutritional needs. Yet\nCalifornia is facing its own problems with lack of water, lack of\nfuels, expanding population and the\nphenomenal agriculture land loss of\nabout 48,000 hectares per year. It\nwould be a sucker's gamble to rely\non that state for your daily bread.\nIn 1973 the Land Commission\nAct set aside the province's best\nfarmland based on the productivity\npotential of the soil. The\nAgriculture Lands Commission was\nset up to administer the act and to\nhear appeals. In 1977 the Act was\naltered by the present government\nso that the Land Commission essentially lost its jurisdiction. Now any\nlandowner disagreeing with the independent, collected, professional\nopinion of the Land Commission\ncan appeal directly to the politically\nappointed Minister of the Environment to have land removed. It has\nbeen the rule of this government to\nrefer all appeals, despite lack of\nmerit, to the environmental land\nuse committee of the cabinet for a\nfinal ruling.\nAgainst the recommendations of\nthe A.L. Commission Regional\nDistrict, the B.C. Institute of\nAgrologists and others, the cabinet\ncommittee has released much land\nfrom the reserve. The former chairman of the Land Commission,\nGary Runka, resigned from the\ncommission altogether in protest.\nLast year, soil specialist Fred Reid\nwas fired for talking to the press.\nIn the Fraser Valley, the 626 acre\nGloucester properties near Langley\nhave been released by cabinet\norders despite the absolute protest\nof the Land Commission. The\ncabinet showed no respect for the\ncommission's studied and collected\nopinion. After the press pointed out\nthe obvious conflict of interest and\ncronyism between the government\nand the developers, a barrage of\npublic protest followed and the\ngovernment backpedalled on its\ndecision. The A.L. Commission is\nto re-review the appeal.\nB.C. Hydro, our crown corporation in which we have no say, urged\nthe cabinet to release the land\nreserve. Hydro is to be one of the\ncustomers of the Chilean-financed\ndevelopers.\nThe developers' representative\nMs. Loretta was a Bob McClelland\n(SC\u00E2\u0080\u0094 Langley) campaign worker.\nBob McClelland sat on the committee that heard the appeal even\nthough he says he didn't vote on the\ndecision.

The Gilmer Estates (325\nacres, class 1-2 farmland) owners\nare pressuring to have the land removed from the A.L.R. If we allow\nthe provincial government to continue in its established habits there\nis little doubt that we will lose this\nland also. The developers argue that\nit is okay because they are locals\nrather than foreigners. The land,\nthe food base, is being destroyed. It\nis not okay.\nIn the Okanagan much prime orchard land has been lost. The city of\nKelowna has a block appeal before\nthe commission that could wipe out\n2,000 acres of class 1-2 orchard\nland.\nTHE UBYSSEY\nA\nFebruary 1, 1980\nPublished Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout the\nuniversity year by the Alma Mater Society of the University of\nB.C.

It sounds good in an\nelection I suppose. Looks like\nwe're taking a tough stand and\nall that. Of course that's easy\nenough to do when you're sending other people over there to\nbe killed and your ass isn't on\nthe line.\nIt's an old story, of course. As\nlong as there have been wars the\nold have sent the young off to\nthe slaughter. How much longer\nare we going to take this\nbullshit?\nAs long as we remain passive\nand apathetic. It's too bad that it\ntakes a war to get people moving\nand thinking about what's going\non in the world. We've got to\nmake it clear that we're not going to accept this insanity any\nlonger.\nfreestyle\nBut rather than mouth nice\npacifistic sentiments we've got to\nlook deeper into the matter.\nWhy are these fools threatening\nthe world with war? Is it because\nthey really care about people in\nAfghanistan? Not bloody likely.\nThe only reason they're trying to\ncon us into this one is because of\nconflicting imperial visions of\nthe world. Both sides in the\nglobal conflict want oil and want\nit bad. It's up to us, the ordinary\npeople on both sides, to say:\nlook, we've had enough, we\ndon't share your vision of the\nworld. The true enemies in this\naffair are the madmen in Ottawa, Moscow and Washington.\nThey don't have to pay the price\nof war, we do.\nI suppose many will say that\nsuch idealistic rantings can only\nencourage defeatism and are\nsymptomatic of a widespread decline of will in our society. To\nsuch critics I would reply that it\nis we who are the realists, it is we\nwho have the coldest and\nclearest vision of the world. For\nas long as we let ourselves be ruled by the irrational credo that is\nnationalism we will never be\nfree. Nationalism and the petty\nmentality associated with it have\nalready led us to the brink of the\nworld's destruction. It's high\ntime we stopped the beast in its\ntracks and began to stand up for\nsomething better.\nWe're probably going to be\nseeing a lot of this type of confrontation in the coming years as\nthe world's rival imperial systems attempt to get in on the\nscramble for the world's resources.

That letter\nis herewith reprinted over the complaints of our PR department,\nwhich says that The Cubyssey may\ntake away some of our readers if it\nis published.)\nWell, spring will soon be upon us\nonce again (in another two months,\nanyway), and once again the UBC\nhacks have neglected the most burning issue of the entire campus.\nEvery spring it is all around us, yet\neveryone responsible refuses all\ncomment.\nThe issue is wasps. They swarm\naround the bus stop snack bar, they\nfly voraciously around SUB, they\ninvade first-floor classrooms. This\nyear, as every year, some poor bastard will be stung by a wasp, suffer\nextreme pain in his writing arm, fail\na test because of that pain, and subsequently drop out of university\nand kill himself by an overdose of\nexam booklets.\nAll the candidates for the recent\nBoG elections, with the exception\nof Valgeet Johl, ignored the wasp\nissue entirely. Miss Johl (who, contrary to popular belief, did not lose\nthe election solely because The Cubyssey and The Ubyssey supported\nher) was reported to have said, in an\ninformal speech outside the snack\nbar last April: \"These damn\nwasps.\"\nPit crabs\nall wet\nIn reply to a letter in the Jan. 22\nedition of The Ubyssey, I would\nlike to point out a few facts.\nThe letter was correct in stating\nthat the Pit was out of Molson Export, Kronenbrau (1308), and Heidelberg on the night referred to.\nThe fact is we do not stock those\nbrands.\nWe also do not stock Carling\nCream Stout, Carling Pilsner,\nCarlsberg, Old Vienna, Lite, Kootenay, Uncle Ben's, Pacific Gold, Yukon Gold, Columbia or Lucky Lager, to name a few. Some of these\nbrands have been offered at the Pit\nin the past and sales were negligible.\nWe do, however, sell a variety of\nbeer from the different breweries\nand as our cooler space is limited we\nfeel it most apropriate to stock the\nmost popular ones.

Where we find it, how we use it\nand who will profit from it.\nNo issue in this federal election campaign\nprovides a better showcase for the essential\npolitical philosophies of Canada's three major parties.\nDifferent models for PetroCanada, a\ncrown corporation the Liberals established in\n1974, demonstrate each federal party's view\nof government involvement in the developing, purchasing and sales of petroleum products.\nWhen created, PetroCan was supposed to\nreinforce the nation's interests in the multinational dominated industry. In its brief history it has been most active in northern exploration, the offshore potential of Newfoundland, Labrador and Nova Scotia, and\nthe tar sands projects in Alberta.\nConservative policy on PetroCan has\nchanged drastically since the last election\ncampaign. Last spring Joe Clark called for\nthe dismantling of the crown corporation.\nAfter coming to power, a task force was\nstruck to advise the government on which of\nthe corporations' assets should be sold to the\nprivate sector.\nThe task force recommended that the profit making aspects of the corporation be sold\nand that the public receive shares in the remaining projects free of charge.\nJust before Christmas, Clark announced a\nnew approach to make PetroCan a \"semi-\nprivate\" corporation. Half the shares would\nbe given to Canadian citizens, 20 per cent offered for sale to the private sector and 30 per\ncent retained by the federal government.\nPetroCan would operate on a competitive\nbasis with private industry, contracted by the\nfederal government in exploration ventures\nand oil and gas deals with other countries.\nThe Liberals are as critical of this arrangement as they have been of its two\npredecessors. The Liberals would retain\nPetroCan as a completely government-owned\ncrown corporation. PetroCan was established, according to the Liberals, because\nprivate industry was preoccupied with profit,\nnot with the long-term exploration needs of\nthe country. If it incorporated a shareholder\nsystem PetroCan's potential would be undermined by conflict between the profit goal of\nshareholders and our national need for exploration in high risk areas of our oil and gas\npotential.\nThe Liberals would allow PetroCan to\nmake all of the nation's petroleum deals.\nThey think petroleum prices can be kept\ndown if only one company is bidding for foreign oil for Canada.\nThe NDP is calling for a PetroCan with\nincreased participation in all aspects of oil\nand gas exploration, refinement and international sales. Party leader Ed Broadbent wants\nPetroCan to be the number one \"oil business\" in Canada by 1985 (it is now Canada's\neighth largest oil company). The NDP would\nextend PetroCan's retail operations across\nthe country and issue credit cards to help expand its business. The NDP, like the Liberals, want PetroCan to make all of Canada's\nimport and export deals. The NDP would implement expansion of PetroCan's involvement in Alberta's oil sands projects and the\nindustry's refining section.\nOIL PRICING\nThe Conservatives are the only party that\nhas put general pricing policies into real financial terms. A Conservative government\nwould stand by its decision to increase domestic oil prices by $4 a barrel this year, and\nby $4.50 a barrel per year thereafter until our\ndomestic prices are equivalent to 85 per cent\nof the price of oil in the United States.\nPierre Trudeau and the Liberals cannot\ngive an exact figure on the rise in oil prices\nthey would incur but do say the increases\nwould be smaller and more gradual than\nthose proposed by the Conservatives. The\nLiberals would arrive at a final price after negotiating with the producing and consuming\nprovinces of Canada, as they did when they\nformed the government.\nThe NDP does not offer a new domestic\nprice for oil. They recognize the inevitability\nof price increases but think a federal commission to control oil prices and profits\nshould advise the government before a final\nprice decision is made. The commission\nwould advise the government on acceptable\nprofit margins at every stage of the industry\nand oil prices would be adjusted accordingly.\nUnder an NDP government no increase in\ncorporate profits from price increases would\nbe allowed until this commission has an opportunity to consider the present profit levels\nof the industry. But this does not mean increases could not happen under an NDP government with the extra revenue going to\nPetroCan, provincial government or federal\ncoffers.\nProduction of heavy oil in the tar sands developments should be dominated by PetroCan and oil produced in this area should be\nprovided to Canadians at cost, says the NDP.\nGAS PRICING AND EXPORT\nThe NDP and Liberal parties have condemned the Conservative 18 cents a gallon\nexcise tax on gas because of its potential effect on lower income groups and transportation industries. The Tories claim the heaviest\nburden of the excise tax will not fall on these\ngroups due to their proposed $80 per adult\nand $30 per child users rebate for families\nthat make less than $21,000 per year, and\ntheir 10 cents per gallon rebate to commercial\nusers of gasoline.\nIf elected, the NDP would cancel the Conservative government's recent approval of a\nlicense for the export of 3.75 trillion cubic\nfeet of natural gas to the United states. They\nfeel the new licence, which will increase our\nnatural gas exports to the U.S. by 40 per\ncent, could undermine Canada's energy\nfuture.\nThe Liberals think the Conservative government decided to grant the licence without\nlooking closely enough at the consequences\nof the move. The Liberals also think the licence granting should have been part of a\npackage deal guaranteeing the gas would be\nshipped via a Canadian pipeline.\nCONSERVATION\nAll three major parties are calling for increased conservation measures to ensure our\nenergy future. The Liberals would undertake\na $1.4 billion home insulation grant program\nfor Canadian householders, and removal of\nfederal sales tax on home insulation.\nThe Conservatives say they think the increase in the cost of oil will help force Canadians to be conservation-minded. (That is\none of the Conservative rationales for putting\nthe extra 18 cent tax on gas.) They would also\nhave strict conservation standards within\ngovernment agencies.\nThe NDP and Liberals parties do not think\nthat rising prices will result in less consumption. The NDP would support:\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 the lowering of highway speed limits\n(this does not fall within the federal jurisdiction);\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 furnace certification prior to house\nsales;\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 subsidization of the costs that householders would incur in switching their heating\nsystems from oil to gas; and\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 efficiency standards for automobiles,\nappliances and other energy-consuming products.\nNUCLEAR ENERGY\nThe future of Canada's nuclear industry is\nthe great non-issue of this election's energy\ndebate. None of the parties seems willing to\ndebate the safety, or feasibility of either an\nexpanded or contracted nuclear industry.\nThe Conservative party will not make a decision until a parliamentary enquiry into the\nnuclear industry is struck and has time to\nmake well-informed recommendations. The\nConservatives included a proposal for such\nan enquiry in their budget that was defeated\nin the House of Commons.\nThe NDP has condemned both the\nLiberals and Conservatives for ignoring public scepticism about the safety of nuclear energy. The NDP would call a moratorium on\nfurther nuclear power development until a\nroyal commission can report its findings on\nnuclear energy.\nThe nuclear issue has been conspicuously\nabsent from all Liberal energy policy statements. From their condemnations of the\nConservative government for losing Candu\nreactor deals with Argentina, their attempts\nto sell Candu reactors to Japan late in their\nterm of office and their tacit consent while\nthey were in office to nuclear licenses given\nout by the Atomic Energy Control Board, it\nappears that a Liberal government would not\noppose further expansion of the nuclear industry. Friday, February 1, 1980\nTHE UBYSSEY\nPage 7\nHardial Bains, president of the Communist\nParty of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), has been\non the Canadian political scene for years yet\nfew people are aware of his existence. Bains\ngot his start in politics in his native India with\na group known as the Naxalites, a Maoist organization. He went to Ireland in 1958 and\ntaught biochemistry at Trinity College for a\nyear before coming to Canada in 1959.\nAs a graduate student at UBC Bains helped\nfound an organization called the Internationalists which later developed into the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist).\nSince then the CPC(M-L) has never ceased to\nbe at the centre of one controversy or\nanother.\nIn 1975 the party made the headlines locally when the East Indian Defence Committee\nwas formed under the auspices of the\nCPC(M-L), and was involved in vigilante actions against racist attacks on the East Indian\ncommunity.\nBains has been threatened with deportation in the past but has managed to remain in\nCanada to promote his cause. His party's often unsavory tactics have earned them a reputation for extremism and sectarianism. The\nparty recently repudiated China as the socialist fatherland and now considers Albania the\nonly genuine socialist nation in the world. No\ndoubt we shall hear more from Bains in the\nfuture.\nUbyssey: How many candidates are you\nrunning in this election?\nBains: There will be 181 candidates.\nUbyssey: How many were there last time?\nBains: 144.\nUbyssey: Is there any particular area where\nyou anticipate your best results to come\nfrom?\nBains: Well there are usually some areas\nwhere we have more supporters than others.\n. . southern Ontario, Quebec. In between\nQuebec City and Windsor we normally get\nbetter results than other areas.\nUbyssey: Is your party hoping seriously for\nan electoral victory or is the campaign merely\nto bring the Communist Party of Canada\n(Marxist-Leninist) into the public eye?\nBains: We have to bring the party into the\npublic eye? (laughs) We want to oppose the\nprograms of the capitalist political parties on\nthe electoral front so we are presenting candidates with an entirely opposite program to\nthe capitalist political parties.\nUbyssey: But it is a tenet of Marxism-\nLeninism, is it not, that electoral means in\nthemselves are limited, and this can only be\npart of a greater strategy, you yourself would\nadmit that?\nBains: Yes, but the crisis in Canada at this\ntime is not a revolutionary crisis, so you cannot give a call for insurrection or taking up of\narms. So you have to operate within\nwhatever conditions, possibilities are\navailable.\nUbyssey: Of the candidates you put up for\nelection last time, how many lost their\ndeposits?\nBains: Uhhh, every one.\nUbyssey: So will you be running essentially\nthe same campaign as you did last election?\nBains: Yes.\nUbyssey: Do you have any particular comments to make about the international situation, such as the invasion of Afganistan?\nBains: The way the international situation\nis developing in this period is that because of\nacute economic crisis, all the imperialist\ncountries are preparing for a war and a war is\none way in which they can make maximum\nprofits and so the people in Canada should\nnot side with any imperialist powers, when\nthey're preparing for war or when the war\nbreaks out. The people in Canada should oppose the imperialists both in Canada and internationally.\nUbyssey: Through what means?\nBains: Through all the means available.\nUbyssey: Which are?\nBains: At this time the political programs\nof the capitalist parties should be opposed\nthrough mass struggle. Various agitations\nshould be organized that Canada should not\nside with U.S. imperialism or that Canada\nshould get out of NATO, or when aggression\ncomes against workers there should be strike\nstruggles, mass political agitations, and if the\ncapitalists withdraw legal conditions then we\nwill have to work under those conditions,\nwhich will be merely illegal conditions.\nUbyssey: What specific things would you\ndo then if you had a majority in parliament?\nI see here (in your literature) \"Make the Rich\nPay?\"\nBains: Well we would definitely make the\nrich pay. We would install a new constitution.\nUbyssey: Based on the equality of nations I\npresume?\nBains: Yes and also based on democracy\non the economic and political front.\nDemocracy on the economic front is expropriation of the handful of the rich who\nown all the means of production and\nsocialize property in Canada. And eliminate\nthe exploiters in the country in a stage by\nstage manner.\nUbyssey: What do you mean by the word\n\"eliminate\"? Remove them from positions\nof economic power or what?\nBains: Eliminate means both. One is that\nyou eliminate them from the positions of\neconomic power, number two means that\nyou do not let them resurrect themselves, that\nthis class does not come back into power.\nAnd there will be some criminals, those who\nhave committed crimes against the Canadian\npeople who will be also eliminated physically.\nUbyssey: Would you be prepared to quote\na figure as to what your annual budget is?\nBains: What is this, for what reason do\nyou want to know?\nUbyssey: As a measure of your party's\nBains: No, I will not tell you how many\nmembers there are.\nUbyssey: Why not?\nBains: It is for security reasons. You are a\njournalist, you should know of our activities.\nUbyssey: On the electoral front, I'd like to\nknow about the Rhinoceros Party, basically\nin Quebec, in the last election garnered more\nvotes than the CPC(M-L), the Communist\nparty, and In Struggle combined. I wonder\nwhat your analysis is of why the Rhino Party\nis picking up votes.\nBains: It is a straightforward party of the\nrich. It is to discourage people from taking\nthe issue of the crisis in Canada seriously. It\nis a party of petty-bourgeois intellectuals who\nare full of despair and they want to fool the\nmasses of the people that there are no\npossibilities whatsoever for change in\nCanada. And they are the darlings of the\npress and you name it, every dreg of society\nloves them. They nominated a candidate in\nSaskatoon who fought previously as a Conservative. And there are many examples of\nthis. We know these people.\nUbyssey: Why do they appeal to the\npublic?\nBains: They don't appeal to the public.\nUbyssey: After your proposed revolution\nto what extent would so-called \"bourgeois\"\nfreedoms be institutionalized in a new state?\nWould they be expanded upon or diminished? I'm interested in your conception. I suppose it's rather petty-bourgeois individualist\nconcern, but I'm interested in your concep-\n'And there will be\nsome criminals,\nthose who have\ncommitted crimes\nagainst Canadian\npeople who will\nbe also eliminated\nphysically9\n-BAINS\nTHE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE CRISIS:\nstrength, the base of support of your party . .\nBains: If you want to measure our\nstrength, let me run through the list, we have\na daily newspaper ...\nUbyssey: I'm interested in the financial\nresources of your organization.\nBains: But why, what is the reason? If you\nwant to know the strength of the party I can\ngive you the strength of the party. Running a\ndaily newspaper is quite an advancement for\nthe party's work, and it requires quite a lot of\nstrength.\nUbyssey: So you're not prepared to give us\na figure on the party's annual budget then?\nBains: I can't say yes or no to this question\nwhich is like \"When did you start beating\nyour wife?\" I mean what is your point?\nUbyssey: Perhaps a better indication of the\nparty's strength would be the number of party members. Would you say roughly how\nmany members there are in Canada?\ntion of individual rights and the capacity for\ndissent in post-revolutionary society.\nBains: It's a funny sort of situation in that\nyou ask \"What will we do with bourgeois\nfreedoms?\" Just imagine in a socialist society\nbourgeois freedom is allowed. First,\nbourgeois freedom is freedom to exploit,\nwhich the bourgeoisie likes.\nUbyssey: Yes, I assume that in socialist\nsociety that would be done away with. I'm\nnot worried about that. I'm worried about\npersonal freedom, and collective freedom,\npolitical rights . . .\nBains: The freedom which the bourgeoisie\ndoes not give to the masses of the people,\nthose freedoms will be guaranteed under\nsocialism. That is number one, democracy on\nthe economic front. The instruments and the\nmeans of production of the country will be\nowned by the masses of the people. Number\ntwo, democracy on the political front, that is\nthe freedom to hold political, social, cultural,\nand religious views. Number three, freedom\nInterview by\nSTEVE McCLURE\nand BILL TIELEMAN\nto participate actively in the social advancement, scientific and social advancement.\nThese are freedoms which are not relevant\nunder this so-called \"bourgeois democracy\".\nUbyssey: So you're saying one class, one\nparty, one state.\nBains: Yes. So, when the proletariat captures political power, then it captures\npolitical power for its own ends not for\nanyone else. It's exactly the same thing in the\ncapitalist system.\nUbyssey: I see your point. In your view,\nMr. Bains, what has happened in Iran and\nwhy have we had a religious revolution instead of a Marxist-Leninist revolution in that\ncountry, and further to that, can you see if\nthis revolution is going to change to a revolution of Marxist-Leninist character?\nBains: First of all it is neither a religious\nrevolution nor is it a Marxist-Leninist revolution. It is a democratic revolution which has\ntwo aspects: anti-imperialist and anti-feudal.\nThis democratic revolution has arrived at a\ncertain stage whereby certain forces want to\nput brakes on this revolution so it is not\ntaken to its conclusion.\nNow Khomeini is caught in this. On one\nhand he was opposed to the shah, opposed to\nU.S. imperialism and he supported this\ndemocratic change. But to have complete\ndemocratic change the old state has to be\nthoroughly smashed, which he is not in favor\nof.\nUbyssey: You don't think Islam is the central question?\nBains: No, of course not, it has nothing to\ndo with it.\nUbyssey: And yet Khomeini himself\nphrases all his political propaganda in Islamic\nterms. Don't you think that he himself is out\nto give the revolution a reactionary Islamic\ncharacter?\nBains: When the bourgeois democratic\nrevolutions were taking place in Britain and\nin France and other countries in Europe they\nused to present their ideas coated with\nvarious religious phrases. So you could have\nhonest elements in Iran who will spread the\nanti-imperialist revolution coated with these\nreligious phrases. At the same time for Khomeini to characterize it as an Islamic revolution shows his bankruptcy, because what is\nthe content of Islam? Nothing.\nUbyssey: On a Canadian question, the\nCommunist Party of Canada as far as I\nknow, is in favor of nuclear power as long as\nthe state is involved and not capitalism. Does\nyour party line differ on that, do you say that\nnuclear power is not safe under any condition\nor is safe under state control?\nBains: Well I don't know the revisionist\nposition on this question because as far as the\nissues in Canada are concerned it is not an\nimportant issue.\nUbyssey: Nuclear power is not important?\nBains: No. The important issue is the question of health and safety. Both of the\nworkers as well as the broad masses of the\npeople. When you talk of nuclear policy and\nso on and so forth it is the health and safety\naspect which we are talking about. The\ncapitalist system cannot guarantee health and\nsafety of the workers, of ordinary people.\nAnd, as far as our party is concerned, we\nsupport all the struggles which point out that\nwe must guarantee the health and safety of\nthe workers and people.\nUbyssey: I have to ask this out of curiosity:\nwhere did the slogan \"Make the Rich Pay\"\ncome from and why is it a four-word, very\nsimple slogan? Is it because it's easy to\nremember or does it really embody the basic\nconcepts of the party's work?\nBains: The \"Make the Rich Pay\" slogan\nbasically comes from the 1930s. It was a\nslogan advanced by, not directly advanced in\nthis form, but a slogan presented as part of\nanti-fascist struggle by the Seventh Congress\nof the Communist International in 1935. You\ncan find that in the political report of\nDimitrov, Georgi Dimitrov.

It's the story of a\ntypical English Mod growing up in\n1965 and deals with his attempts\nto remain sane in the face of all\nthe confusion around him. First\nrecorded in 1973, Quadrophenia is\nnow the subject of a full-length\nmotion picture currently playing at\nthe Vogue Theatre.\nThe Who's roots are here, in\nthe world of Mods and Rockers,\nof bikes and pills, of rave-ups and\nscooters. The band started out as\nThe High Numbers, an R and B\nbased band that primarily played\ncover versions of blues and soul\nnumbers.\nAstute management and the\nhappy addition of Keith Moon on\ndrums guaranteed the success of\nthe four Shepherd's Bush lads, by\n1965 known as The Who.\nThe four were quite a unique\nbunch. Up front there was the\nalways charismatic Roger Daltrey,\nwhose voice is still unequalled for\nsheer power and emotion. Attacking the guitar madly was the\nungainly figure of Pete Townshend, also known as \"the bird-\nman\" because of the size of his\nnose. The base of the band's\nsound, in many's opinion, was the\nlegendary Keith Moon, one of\nrock and rolr's true psychos.\nMoon was the polar opposite to\nbassist John Entwistle, who look-\nSYMBOL OF MODNESS\nI ride my scooter in the wind and sleet\"\ned on bemusedly while the rest of\nthe band writhed and screamed.\nThe Who scored several pop\nhits in the mid-sixties with songs\nlike the classic My Generation and\nothers.Townshend says that it was\nnot until the Monterey Pop\nFestival in 1967 that the band\nbegan making significant progress\nin America. The Who thus shifted\nits image from the world of Mods\nto the then-emerging culture of\npsychedelia and became one of\nthe prime exponents of acid-rock.\nBut the clincher came in 1969 at\nthe Woodstock Festival in New\nYork. Here the band premiered\ntheir revolutionary rock opera\nTommy and were received\nestatically by North American\nyouth. Tommy broke new ground\nas rock began to take itself\nseriously for perhaps the first time\nand Townshend's mystical\nbroodings came more to the fore.\nThe Pretty Things were actually\nfirst to come up with the idea of a\nrock opera but due to hassles with\ntheir record company were unable\nto release their S.F. Sorrow until\nafter Tommy's appearance.\nTommy was seriously flawed in\nmany ways. The story line was\nvague and many of the ideas\nweren't developed well enough.\nThe story of the deaf, dumb and\nblind boy was one with which\nmany could identify as they searched amidst the hallucinogenic\nwreckage of the late sixties for\nsome sanity and reality.\nAfter Tommy, The Who tried to\nfeel their way back to a simpler\nway of structuring their music and\neventually came up with Who's\nNext, a single disc album with no\novert theme. But every Who\nalbum since Tommy has had\nsome implicit theme running\nthrough it and it was perhaps this\nrealization that led Townshend to\nwrite Quadrophenia, another rock\nopera loosely based on the theme\nof a young person trapped in the\nworld of illusion.\nThis time Townshend was more\nexacting and specific in writing his\nrock opera. And the result was a\ndouble album with a strong story\nline and a full, almost orchestral\nsound due largely to\nTownshend's brilliant use of the\nsynthesizer in creating the sound\nof the sea and the whole at-\nSeePF8\nPage Friday 2\nTHE UBYSSEY\nFriday, February 1, 1980 Fuck it\nBy PETER MENYASZ\nThe headline caught your attention, didn't it? Well, read\non.\nYou were probably thinking this week's Page Friday cover\ndidn't make much sense. And what the hell is this garbage\ndoing surrounded by great Powder Blues photographs?\nIt's simple. These great shots would have been wasted\nwithout this little diatribe, because there was no one to write\na review of the concert. And it's not that the concert was a\nbore \u00E2\u0080\u0094 everyone I've talked to said it was a winner.\nSo why no review? No Page Friday staff, that's why. Not\nmeaning to cry on anyone's shoulder, it's impossible to turn\nout a decent arts and review section for this newspaper\nwithout bodies (preferably with minds included) to write the\narticles.\nThere are lots of advantages to writing for Page Friday,\nand for The Ubyssey in general. There's lots of drinking, lots\nof drugs, telephone book fights, and the ego boost of seeing\nyour name in print. And on Page Friday, you almost always\nget a by-line.\nNot convinced? There's more. If some of you brilliant in-\ntellectualizers don't get into the real world and help out your\ncampus rag, there won't be a hell of a lot in it to criticize next\nyear. Because all you'll be reading will be blank pages.\nStill not convinced? There's not much more that can be\nsaid. But even if you only have a little time to spare, come\nand try us on for size. We're not nearly as hard to get along\nwith as the garlic-eaters club, and writing for a student\nnewspaper is not nearly as dangerous as the karate, skydiving, or scuba-diving clubs.\nSo how about it?

But it\nwill help you sell your efforts.\nWords For Sale is a compilation\nof ideas collected from members of\nthe Periodical Writers Association\nof Canada. Freelance writers Eve\nDrobot and Hal Tennant co-edited\nthe book, and both are touring the\ncountry promoting Words For Sale\nand P.W.A.C. (pronounced pee-\nwac).\nSitting in a comfortable chair in\nthe lounge of the Denman Place\nInn, talking to Drobot and Tennant\nis a lively proposition. They've been\ninterviewed by press people all day,\nincluding an appearance on an\nopen-line radio show. And they've\njust got time to squeeze me in\nbefore a rushed dinner and a televi\nsion appearance on CKVU's Vancouver Show.\nBut after the drinks arrive, the\nmood mellows somewhat, and it\nbecomes easier to talk about the\nbook, and the two weary journalists\nfluidly answer the same questions\nthey have been asked from coast to\ncoast.\nTennant explains that a group of\nfreelancers formed P.W.A.C. in\n1976. The response was heartening, and the organization was bombarded with questions from aspiring writers. So a committee was\nestablished to answer the inquiries.\n\"We started to put on seminars,\"\nsays Tennant. But he quickly points\nout that the seminar's participants\nsoon began to want written\nmaterial.\n\"People would come up to us\nand say 'Could we have a\ntranscript?' \" So the idea formed to\ncreate a booklet, but soon bloomed\ninto a book-length proposition,\nTennant says.\nThat's where Tennant and\nDrobot came in. \"We agreed to\nhave a couple of us volunteer to\nedit the thing.\" .\nThe rationale behind the book's\nconception is simple. \"We can win\nmore respect from editors if the\nquality of freelancing improves,\"\nTennant says. And Words For Sale\nputs the bare facts of magazine\nfreelancing out on the table for the\nwriters to see. \"We wanted to present the realities of the profession,\"\nTennant says.\nThe realities of the business\naren't always rosy, and Drobot admits that some parts of the book\nwere meant to discourage the less\ndedicated journalist-to-be.\nBut a little discouragement won't\nkeep a writer away from working,\nDrobot says. \"You're not going to\nkeep those people out of the\nmarket,\" she says.\nBut it isn't only the potential\nfreelancer who benefits from\nWords For Sale. Editors are part of\nthe game, and improved communication with their writers can\nonly lead to a longer life and fewer\ngrey hairs.\n\"Editors love the book,\" says\nDrobot. \"It gave them a chance to\nget a lot of things off their chest.\"\nAnd P.W.A.C. will benefit from\nan improvement in freelancers' relationships with magazine editors.\nThe book may attract some\nmembers to the organization, and\nthe more P.W.A.C. freelancers\nthere are, the more editors will have\nto follow the organization's\nguidelines.\nAnd thaf s a good thing for prospective magazine contributors.\nThere are currently no set contractual relationships between\nmagazines and their contributors,\nexcept for those who have agreed\nBaroque music brings on spring glow\nBy KERRY REGIER\nA Baroque Extravaganza, produced by the Early Music Society\nSunday night in the Queen\nElizabeth Playhouse, was a performance which, like a field of flowers\nin spring, held forth an abundance\nof beautiful things. Sadly, the\nlistener had also to endure a plague\nof tiny troubles swarming like flies\nover the flowers.\nA large group of musicians, local\nand imported, presented a varied\nprogram in a style as close as possible to the practice of the 17th century, playing on period instruments\nor copies. The first half of the program was devoted to instrumental\nconcertos by Corelli, Marcello, and\nBach, and the second half was\nvocal and choral music by Bach and\nhis son Johann Christoph, closing\nwith three Bach canons.\nThe inspired moments were\nlargely the result of the individual\ngenius of many of the performers.\nwhile the gnatlike problems stemmed principally from the lack of coordination of these ideas, and an apparent lack of rehearsal which led to\na proliferation of literally hundreds\nof mistakes, miscues, and other little errors.\nViolinist Carlo Novi stands as a\ncase in point.

Inside was a grim scattering of relatives and friends Doing\nTheir Duty.\nFifteen minutes after curtain\ntime, my fat mate pointed out the\ncurtains showed no sign of moving and the band in the pit was be\nginning to play avant-garde jazz\nout of boredom.\nI properly admonished her for\nnot taking it into account that it\nwas opening night. We agreed\nthe band should show more discipline. As it happened, we were\nlistening to the best performance\nof the evening.\nThere are no words for what we\nsaw next. My fat mate's theory is\nthat we stepped accidentally into\na time warp. If so, it was a weirdly\ndistorted one.\nMy own theory is that the production was trying for high camp.\nAs with the direction, choreography, singing, music and dancing,\nreach exceeded grasp by a light-\nyear or two. The sets stole the\nshow with ease.\nPart of the attempt at campi-\nness was a try at reducing the\ncharacters to cartoon caricatures.\nBut even Donald Duck has motives and a personality. The characters became so unreal, so unattached to any realm of belief\nthat the cast could have been\nmachine-gunned and the audience wouldn't have blinked or\ncared. Such creatures could feel\nno pain.\nThe audience, however, could.\nA show should have an audience\nhypnotized, unaware anymore\nthat they are in a theatre, unwilling to speak and break the spell.\nAt this performance, the people\nin the audience should have been\nentertaining each other with jokes\nand small talk about what was going on up front while ushers went\nup and down the aisles with\nwagons dispensing cheap wine in\nplastic cups. Distractions would\nhave been welcome.\nThe greatest crime is that\nSweet Charity is obviously the result of a lavish amount of work.\nMusicals rely on the extravagance\nof the presentation and this production measures up. When I told\nmy fat mate we could leave any\ntime she said, \"Let's wait for the\nnext set change.\" She later voiced praise for the stage manager.\nWe didn't make it to the next\nset change. Sweet Charity, after\nall, is an escapist musical. We escaped after a little over half an\nhour.\nAs we left, the cast was struggling desperately with a nightclub\nscene. Perhaps, I said to my fat\nmate, if the vocals were audible, if\nthe pacing was more precise, if\nthe band sounded as if it cared, if\nthe dancing had been synchronized, if the camp had been more\ndeftly handled. . .\nMy fat mate flatly disagreed.\nThe most cynical people are those\nthat are new at it.\nwith the rest of the musicians. His\nrubato often snaked off in strange\ndirections, dynamically he often\nvanished beneath the sound of the\nharpsichord, and he regularly produced piercing harmonic squeaks\nfrom his instrument.\nIn direct contrast, in the three\nBach canons which closed the program, his playing was splendid.\nThere he played with only two other\nmusicians; Novi's problem is simply\nthat he does not like playing with\nlots of other people, as in an orchestra.\nAnd yet, despite the innumerable\nlittle flaws in the performance, the\nmusic was suffused with a warm\nglow. The flaws could not obscure\nthe carefully thought musicianship\nof everyone involved on stage.\nThe problems of baroque performance practice are gigantic, as\nplayers must almost literally think\nthemselves into a different culture\nof a different century. In everything\nthey did on Sunday, these musicians showed their commitment to\ntheir ideal of making three-hundred-\nyear-old music vibrant and alive,\nand not merely a museum curiosity.\nIt was the greatness of a few individuals that brought the life into\nthe music, and countertenor (male\nalto) Michael Culver deserves\nspecial mention. A male alto voice\nis incredibly difficult to sustain in an\nadult, but Culver's gentle strength\nand perfect control made his voice\nunforgettable. His flutelike trill sent\na visible and tangible wave of\npleasure through the audience.\nAll 47 musicians contributed a\nthoughtfulness, and a delicacy of\nornamentation, which could not be\nobscured by the clouds of\nblemishes like wrong notes. Carlo\nNovi's distractingly neurotic body\ngyrations, and the uninformative\nand serf-indulgent program notes.\nBut thinking is not enough; the\nproof of musicial thought is in the\nplaying. I know by my own experience that I can think for days\nabout some music, but until I pick\nup my cello and play it repeatedly, it\nremains still an abstraction. And so\nthe Extravaganza performers\nalmost failed. Their thought was\nclear and sharp, but they just didn't\nrehearse together enough, playing\ninstead of thinking about playing.\nto go along with P.W.A.C's code\nof ethics.\nSome freelancers are grossly\nunderpaid for their efforts, and\nmany come to grief when their\nstories are published again and\nagain without their permission and\nwithout any further payment. And\nthafs what P.W.A.C. wants to\nstop.\nThe organization's goal is to form\na union-like collective of writers,\nwith strength coming from their\nnumbers, Drobot says. \"An editor's\ngoing to sit up and notice when all\nthe last issue's contributors march\ninto his office and demand\nchanges,\" she says.\nBut the book has other, more\nspecific lessons to teach. Before\nyou can be shafted by an editor,\nyou have to have your stories\npublished. And thafs the hard part.\nThe picture Drobot and Tennant\npaint in Words For Sale isn't\ncheery. Statistics work against the\nfreelancer. The top rate for a\nmagazine article in a national rag is\nabout $1,000. And a top-notch\nfreelancer turns out no more than\n14 such efforts per year.

It will\ncontinue to supply titles on its\nbacklist, except for 12 of its most\npopular titles which are out of\nprint. These will not be reprinted\nuntil the company comes up with\nenough capital to print enough\nbooks for two to three years, bringing the production costs per\nbook down to manageable levels.\n\"We have things to invest in,\nwe just don't have the money,\"\nsays Karl Siegler of Talonbooks.\n\"The motivation to stop new titles\nis that we would put our other\nauthors and books in jeopardy.\"\nTalonbooks has been in a tight\nfinancial spot since its inception\n12 years ago but inflation and governmental indifference have finally\npushed it to the edge.\n\"We're characterized as crying\nwolf,\" says Siegler. \"The media\ndoesn't understand the dynamics\nof our situation. The problem is\nbasic and ongoing.\n\"We've found ways since 1975\nto cover our asses. But our deficit\nis $40,000 to $54,000 for 1979.\nWe're fresh out of ideas and here\nwe sit waiting for things to\nchange.\" The exact amount of\nthe deficit will be known when\nSiegler finishes the financial statement for last year.\nDavid Robinson and Siegler are\nthe two remaining employees of\nTalonbooks. They let go a part-\ntime employee last October, and\ndrama editor Peter Hay, who had\nbeen with the company since\n1969, left in December.\nIn 1963 Robinson and a group\nof other Vancouver high school\nstudents started a small poetry\nmagazine called Talon. When\nRobinson came to UBC in 1965 to\nstudy Canadian literature he\nbrought the magazine with him\nand eventually turned it into Talon\nbooks. The young publishing\nhouse drew on its contributors\nfrom high school days for its first\npoetry books. Siegler joined the\ncompany in 1974.\nThe B.C. government does not\nhave a publishing policy and Siegler blames this lack of provincia\nsupport and to a lesser extent the\nCanada Council for Talonbooks\nfinancial woes.\nBesides providing grants and\nsubsidies to publishers, Siegler\nsays a comprehensive package\ncould encourage small business\ndevelopment through low interest\nloans. Sales on textbooks could\nbe assured by having a committee\nfrom the Department of Education\napprove manuscripts.\nOntario implemented a comprehensive publishing policy in 1971.\nEighty per cent of English Canadian publishers are in Ontario and\nreceive provincial assistance.\nTalonbooks receives financial\nassistance from the Canada Council. The Canada Council bases its\ngrants on the assumption that\npublishers are receiving provincial\nfunds. And most of them are \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe ones in Ontario. The Canada\nCouncil makes no exceptions for\nB.C. publishers which receive\nnothing from a provincial source.\nSiegler says he feels that publishers suffer significantly for establishing themselves in B.C., as\nduring most years Ontario publishers receive more provincial aid\nthan federal.\nLinda Turnbull, executive director of the Association of Book\nPublishers of B.C., confirms the\nfact that all B.C. publishers are at\na disadvantage in respect to their\nOntario counterparts. They pay\nhigher interest rates, receive\nsmaller grants and transport their\nbooks farther to major markets,\nand are expected to remain competitive. Talonbooks' financial\nproblems do not make it unique.\nThe Association of Book Publishers of B.C. has been lobbying\nthe provincial government for a\npolicy. The provincial secretary's\noffice under Hugh Curtis initiated\na study of the industry and hired\nconsultant Edward Ward-Harris.\nThe study is continuing under\npresent provincial secretary Evan\nWolfe and Siegler and other members of the association are currently engaged in confidential\n, MLLAD OF A\nTALONBOOKS\n. quality literature in quantity\nmeetings with Ward-Harris. The\nstudy is due March 15 but it is unknown whether the recommendations will be incorporated into the\nbudget by April 15 for the coming\nfiscal year.\nECSTASY OF RITA JOE . . . Chief Dan George in Playhouse production\nSiegler is hopeful but not expectant. \"I really don't know.\nWe've been disappointed so\noften. I have some optimism that\nthings will happen on the provincial level.\"\nTurnbull says that hiring a consultant to do an objective study is\na rjood sign. \"Obviously if the\ngovernment is prepared to study\nthe industry, it means we've made\nsome mark.\"\nSuccessive B.C. governments\nhave shied away from the idea of\nfinancially supporting the publishing industry, seeing it as free enterprise and profitable and\ntherefore able to sink or swim on\nits own merits. Siegler says the\ngovernment has not yet recognized the idea of a \"cultural\nindustry.\"\nSiegler says that inflation has\npushed up publication costs by\n135 per cent since 1974. In 1973\nthe retail price of a Talonbook title\nwas $2.50, in 1979 $4.95. Talonbooks must keep its prices low to\nremain competitive and it cannot\nrisk losing the college market\nwhich is over one-half of its total\nmarket.\n\"Publishing is not a profitable\nactivity. The average is 1.4 per\ncent profit after taxes,\" says Siegler. \"The leap in imagination occurs when the government realizes that there are certain organizations which are preferably organized on a profit-incentive basis\nbut do not make a profit.\n\"Talonbooks could be a nonprofit society. But a non-profit\nsociety can deteriorate into an organization which is introverted.\nThere is no external incentive to\nbe as entrepreneurial and aggressive as possible. There is no incentive to maximize profit.\"\nTurnbull says that as a cultural\nindustry publishing is shuffled\nback and forth between government departments. The provincial\nsecretary's office takes care of the\narts while small business looks after the economic side of things.\nBeing a blend of economic factors\nand art, publishing finds itself in a\nno man's land, unable to get productive action on the part of the\ngovernment.\nPublishers are not an albatross\naround the neck of the Canadian\neconomy. Government subsidies\nare often considered to be gifts to\nthe publishers but Siegler points\nout that direct subsidy to the publisher is the most effective way to\nsubsidize the consumer. One\ndollar to the publisher results in a\n$5 saving to the consumer.\nSiegler says that instead of\ngrants and subsidies he would\nprefer to charge $12.95 per book if\nthe market could bear that much.\nHe adds that publishers provide a\ngreat deal of revenue to printers,\nbinders, advertisers and graphic\nartists, areas which do turn a profit.\nUntil now Talonbooks has coped with its deficit without provincial help. In 1975 the company used $22,000 in federal funding to\ncover its deficit and two years\nlater it sold its archives to SFU for\n$10,000.\nLast fall Canada Council offered\n$20,000 if Talonbooks published\nits new 1980 titles and raised an\nequal amount of money. Siegler\nsays they are trying to raise their\nshare of the money but the current publishing program will continue only if the Canada Counci!\nwill amend its programs to end\ndeficits and accommodate regional variables.\nSee PF 6\nFriday, February 1. 1930\nTHE UBYSSE\nPage Friday ? Talonbooks goes\nunder, almost\nFrom PF 5\n\"The Canada Council can't treat\npublishing or the arts as a generality. They must deal with the variants\nthe publisher operates under,\" he\nsays.\nTalonbooks has not just been\nlanguishing in the background as a\nhippie poetry press. It has 130 titles\nand 80 authors. In 10 years it has\npublished. 60 plays and has become\nidentified especially with that genre\nin its Canadian form.\nGeorge Ryga's The Ecstacy of\nRita Joe, Beverly Simon's Crab-\ndance and James Reany's Colours\nin the Dark are only three titles on\nTalonbooks' prestigious play list\nwhich Siegler accredits to Hay.\n\"Our contribution to Canadian\nculture is very identifiable,\" says\nSiegler.\n\"Talonbooks has most definitely\nmade a contribution to Canadian\nculture,\" says Turnbull. \"I hope\nthat's no longer a problem for people when they look at what they've\npublished over the last 10 years.\nThere's nobody else doing what\nthey are, especially in theatre.\nThere's great support for them\nthroughout the industry.\"\nSiegler says their sales have been\ngrowing slowly in Canada. \"We\nhave reached our Canadian market.\nWe have reached the limit of pricing\ncapability and market. There is a\nquantifiable shortfall in terms of\nmoney. We could disappear.\"\nSiegler is not making idle threats.\nTurnbull can name presses which\nhave gone under or changed their\npublication lists from literary to\ncommercial titles.\n\"Over the past two or three years\nwe've lost a lot of small literary\npresses. Blewointmentpress stopped publishing last year. It found\nitself in the same financial situation\nas Talonbooks. The same thing\nhappened to Air Press two years\nago,\" says Turnbull.\n\"Oolichan and Intermedia have\nincreased their number of trade-\noriented titles and have less literature and poetry. The problem is\nmore serious with Talonbooks because it is an established press. It's\nnot just starting out and trying to\nsee what it can do or do well.\"\nThe company's international\nsales to the U.S., Britain, Australia\nand New Zealand have increased\n1600 per cent. Talonbooks has a\nwarehouse in Buffalo, a branch office in Los Angeles and reciprocal\ndistribution agreements with companies in Britain and Australia.\n\"Canadians cannot get used to\nthe fact that we have world class\nliterary authors, a hangover of cultural colonialism which is still very\nreal,\" says Siegler.\n\"Canadian producers of cultural\nproducts should start paying attention to international markets. We're\ntoo used to taking the colonial\nview. If it's Canadian, it's second\nrate.

The institute was formed in 1968 to further the development of Indian\nstudies in Canada.\nThe exhibition includes paintings\nfrom the sixteenth century to the\nnineteenth century, when India was\nunder the political and cultural\ndomination of the Mughal dynasty.\nWhereas the paintings of Hindu India before this time depicted\nreligious scenes in a vivid folk style,\nthe Mughals introduced new subjects and more refined techniques\nto Indian art.\nThe paintings of the pre-Mughal\nera are characterized by vibrant col\nors, bold forms and rough execution. The series illustrating the life\nof Krishna have a primitive vitality\nthat is lacking in some of the later,\nmore precise works.\nEven though the god (differentiated from other figures by his blue\nskin) is shown as an active participant in the day-to-day life of mortals, the characters are not individualized and the style is far\nremoved from reality. The early\nreligious paintings are flat; later\nworks demonstrate a growing\nawareness of proportion and\nperspective.\nThe Mughals brought sophistication and subtlety to Indian art along\nwith a more naturalistic style. The\ncolors are subdued: muted ear-\nthtones are used for background\nscenery, and shades blend more\nsmoothly. The composition is\nmanipulated for the sake of visual\nclarity in detail work, sometimes at\nthe expense of natural perspective.\nOne sees the neat geometric patterns of floor tiles with a bird's-eye\nview. Intricate borders, sometimes\nilluminated in gold, frame the paintings with arabesque and floral\ndesigns.\nThe Mughals used art to record\nhistorical events and explore individual personalitities.

Princes languish with their\nharems, supervised by bored\nchaperones and surrounded by\nfood and wine. The mood is created\nwith light illusions, color contrasts\nand dramatic spacing. Although the\ncharacters are elaborately adorned,\nthe composition is uncluttered. In\nLovers by Moonlight and Lovers on\na Terrace, the figures are set\nagainst a naturalistic background of\ndark evening tones. The tension\nbetween the foreground and\nbackground gives depth to the\npaintings.\nAs the Mughal dynasty declined,\nthe European culture became an\nimportant influence. The Judgement of Paris draws on classical\nmythology and Western techniques. The fleshy bodies and natural\npostures are distinctly European,\nalthough the Indian style is apparent in the elaborate border-work\nand bright colors.\nLisa Golombek, of the Royal Ontario Museum, says, \"The arts of\nIndia are becoming a source of en-\nART OF INDIA . . . sophisticated and colorful\njoyment and delight to the West,\nand with this exhibition it is hoped\nthat further aspects of Indian\nculture will come to the fore.\"\nHowever, for the cultural exchange to be reciprocal, perhaps\nwe should send a totem pole to India.\n|=ii.The unique taste of Southern Comfort, enjoyed for over 125 years.\nFriday, February 1,1980\nTHE UBYSSEY\nPage Friday 7 Up and down with the Who\nFrom PF 2\nmosphere associated with being\nalone on a beach with one's\nthoughts.\nWhich brings us to the film. The\nrelease of Quadrophenia on film\nand in a re-done, re-mixed album\npackage has set off a Mod revival in\nthe U.K. and so the saga of The\nWho has come full circle to a point\nwhere The Who have become their\nown historians.\nThe movie is done exactingly and\nwith a great deal of care. Much attention is paid to period styles and\ntrademarks: the Mod haircuts, the\npeculiarly Mod expressions, and the\ngenerally punky Mod outlook are all\nreproduced with what one would\nassume is at least a fair degree of\naccuracy. A problem here is that at\ntimes the movie seems like a\nmuseum tour, an exhibit without\nany spontaneity or life.\nThe movie soon comes to life\nwhen we first meet the nasty\nRockers, whose main joy in life\nseems to be kicking the shit out of\nour poor little friends the Mods.\nThe Mods get theirs back as they\nprove that they can be just as\nvicious and sadistic as the leather-\nclad Rockers. The climax of the film\ncomes all too soon as the Mods and\nJIMMY . . . why should I care\nRockers fight it out at the seaside-\nresort of Brighton.\nThe acting during these scenes is\ngreat, contrasting sharply with the\nrather stilted scenes in the beginning of the film.\nIn general we get a good look at\nthe world of the Mod, which for all\nits allure our hero Jimmy finally ret\njects as he reconciles the disparate\nelements of his split personality.\nThis theme, so central to the\noriginal disc version of\nQuadrophenia, is downplayed in\nthe film, perhaps because of time\nlimitations. Unfortunately, it results\nin an ending that is unsatisfactory.\nThere are many beautiful moments\nin the film. When The Who's music\nis cranked up to provide the\nbackdrop for moody, introspective\nscenes like the one used for the\nsong Love, Reign O'er Me the film\nis simply unsurpassed in terms of\nsheer power and majesty.\nDiehard Who fans will note that\nmany of their favorite songs from\nQuadrophenia are either missing or\nnot played in their entirety. The\npeople at the Vogue could also turn\nthe volume up about 20 or 30\ndecibels as well.
