" Pit opening delayed year\nBy VAUGHN PALMER\nA union jurisdiction dispute will\nprobably delay the opening of the\nnew SUB Pit for one year.\nAlma Mater Society co-ordinator\nJoanne Lindsay told an AMS\ncouncil meeting Wednesday a\nstrike by 34 pipefitters will most\nlikely delay installation of ventilation and air conditioning for the\nfacility until April \u00E2\u0080\u0094 which would\nmean a September opening.\nAnd AMS vice-president Gordon\nBlankstein told council without the\nventilation the Pit would make a\nbetter steambath than a pub.\nThe delay centers around a\nstrike by the Vancouver local of the\nPipefitters Union against four\ninternational ventilation and air\nconditioning equipment\nmanufacturers.\nBecause Vancouver accounts for\nonly a small percentage of the\nindustry's business that dispute\nprobably won't be settled until\nApril when all contracts between\nthe international union and the\ninternational companies expire.\n\"And the dispute could go on a lot\nlonger,\" Lindsay said.\nUntil settlement,.the Vancouver\nlocal has declared \"hot\" all\nequipment manufactured by those\nCLEAN SEAS CANADA LTD. workers rake and shovel oil-soaked\npeat moss next to damaged British freighter Arawan. Peat moss,\nwhich absorbs 20 times its weight in oil, will be loaded into barrels\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094andy garner photo\nand removed by tug. Clean Oil Canada is an oil spill clean-up\ncompany co-owned by Gulf of Georgia Towing and Burrard Inlet oil\nrefineries.\ncompanies including the controls\nfor the Pit system purchased but\nnot installed before the strike.\nIronically, Wilson pointed out,\nthe 34 men are now working for a\nfifth company, formed by the other\nfour companies and they will install air conditioning equipment.\nBut the work they do for the fifth\ncompany isn't guaranteed and\nshould the controls malfunction\nand wreck the machinery the AMS\nwould have to foot a $60,000 bill,\nWilson said.\nWilson said there are other\nalternatives open to the AMS but\nhe rejected all of them.\nHe said the AMS could:\n* try to pursuade either union or\nmanagement to make a special\ncase of the AMS because it is a nonprofit society. But he said both\nhave already been approached and\nthe union is making no exceptions\nand management will wait until\nApril.\n* declare the project finished in\nwhich case ownership would revert\nto the society and the UBC administration could do the installations. But Wilson said the\nCanadian Union of Public Employees,-which does administration\nwork, has already said it will honor\nthe hot declaration.\n* make an application for an\ninjunction claiming the hot\ndeclaration is unduly inconveniencing the society and\npreventing the use of $250,000\nworth of facilities. But he said\nsince the strike is legal it is highly\nunlikely a judge would grant such\nan injunction.\n* open the Pit with only ventilation (no air conditioning) which\nwould keep some air circulating\nbut when outside temperatures\ndropped the cold air would wreck\nthe expensive machinery.\n\"We're stuck,\" Wilson said.\n\"Basically we're a very small cog\nin an enormous dispute and neither\nside is interested in settling our\nparticular problem.\nThere is a temporary Pit\noperating Monday to Friday from\n4:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. in the SUB\nballroom.\nOver beach plan\nAdministration unconcerned\u00E2\u0080\u0094say citizens\nBy LINDA HOSSIE\nThe UBC administration's lack of concern\nover the erosion of the Point Grey cliffs was\nunanimously condemned at a citizen's\nforum held under the auspices of the\ncitizen's council on civic development at\nQueen Elizabeth School Wednesday night.\nA panel of representatives from the\nVancouver Parks Board, Swan Wooster\nEngineering and the Committee for the\nPreservation of Wreck beach detailed their\nviews on the controversial Swan Wooster\nplan for a sand and gravel fill along the cliffs\nand Wreck beach.\nThe only concerned parties not\nrepresented were UBC and the provincial\n\u00C2\u00BB government.\nThe university's lack of concern was\nblasted by irate citizens trying to stop the\nSwan Wooster project.\n\"If the university is not concerned why\nare we spending one-third of a million\ndollars to keep the cliffs from falling\ndown?\" one citizen asked. \"It alludes me.\"\nJim Bolen, who described himself as an\n' \"eco-freak\", said \"I don't care if the Cecil\nGreen building falls down. I don't care if\nthree million dollars of buildings fall down.\n\"I think we've come to a situation where\nbuildings don't count so\"much anymore.\"\nIn a highly emotional confrontation\ncitizens grilled the panel members on their\nopinions and ideas.\nRon Blunden, listed on the agenda as a\nr consulting engineer, described the Swan\nWooster plan as a \"stop-gap measure that\nwill destroy once and forever any notion that\nthe beach is a natural area.\"\nDuring the question period, Blunden said\nhe felt the plan would be ineffective in\ncurbing erosion.\n\"Point Grey is an exposed promontory,\nalmost by definition an extreme erosion\narea,\" he said.\n\"If you create the beach there all of the\nnatural processes are going to work to\nremove it.\"\nHe said that since the original drafts of the\nplan Swan Wooster have added stone groins\nwhich will be placed at 350-foot intervals\nalong the beach.\n\"I don't consider that natural,\" he said\namidst applause. He added it indicated\nSwan Wooster couldn't have much faith in\ntheir plans.\n\"It's pennies to doughnuts that once you\ncreate a headland you create a bay on the\nside of it,\" he said pointing out it is the bays\non the sides of two concrete observation\ntowers on Wreck beach that are causing the\nmost serious erosion.\nJack Wood, a Swan Wooster representative, fought citizen reaction with the\ndetails of the problem and his companies\nproposed solution.\n\"Due to some forces, I guess of the\nvegetation being taken off the cliffs in the\narea of Cecil Green Park, the erosion seems\nto be increasing,\" he said, citing overall\nerosion at a foot a year.\nWood emphasized that the plan was drawn\nup in an attempt to \"keep the beaches as\nnatural as possible, to put on a sand beach\nunderlaid by natural gravel \"\nThe gravel will contain stones up to six\ninches in diameter. According to Blundon\nthese will act as battering rams against the\ncliff surface if the sea loosens and carries\nthem in with the tide.\nThe sand surfaced will be six inches above\nthe highest tide ever recorded, Wood said,\nadding that logs washing up on the beach\nwould protect the sand from washing away\nto a certain extent.\nWood agreed some sand, however, will\nwash away by the action of the waves and\nperiodic maintenance of the area will be\nnecessary.\nArt Cowie, Vancouver Parks Board\nchairman, said the board would undertake\nany maintenance necessary.\nWood said as Cowie has already promised\nno road will go in around Wreck beach this\nwould mean bringing in sand by barge at\nhigh tide, dumping it and coming back by\nbarge with machinery to spread the sand at\nlow tide.\nCitizens at the meeting didn't seem to\nshare his confidence.\nA majority demanded that a guarantee be\nmade by the university that the necessary\nsteps would be taken to curb run-off and\nseepage before the Swan Wooster plan is\neven considered.\n\"I don't think you know what you're\ndoing,\" one empassioned citizen accused.\nCowie, who said he was pressing for\n\"minimal access\" to the beach, could not\nguarantee any maintenance plan. The\noriginal Swan Wooster project called for a\ngravel bed covered with sand extending for\na distance of 3700 feet along the beach.\nRecently the government put a ceiling of\n$350,000 on the project so Swan Wooster was\nforced to reduce the strip of beach to 3100\nfeet.\nWood would not agree that a smaller\nsection could be tested first before the entire\n3100 feet was gravelled.\n\"I am definitely not pleased with the cutbacks,\" he said but refused to state how far\nhe would be willing to reduce the project if\ngovernment money were reduced.\n\"You've got to have enough beach to\nabsorb the energy of the wages,\" he said.\nCowie explained at this point that he had\nfound Wood adamant in refusing to agree to\na project covering the beach under an area\nof 3100 feet.\nThe fact that Wreck beach is popular as a\nnudist spot was not a major discussion point\nat the meeting but it did come up.\nCowie said although he himself would go\nto a deserted beach on one of the Gulf\nIslands to sunbathe in the nude he did not\nfeel the parks board has any complaints\nabout nudists on the beach.\nBlundon said the scheme rang of \"the first\nstages of persecution,\" and the \"first stages\nof a roadway.\"\nThe problem of the roadway is still not\nsolved.\nCowie said that even if Swan Wooster\nbrings their materials and equipment in by\nbarge a temporary road will have to be built\nfrom the barge dock to the fill area.\nCitizens said they felt it was likely this\nroad would remain.\nAs one citizen put it, summing up all the\ncitizens feelings, \"It's alt a bit iffy at the\nmoment.\" Page 2\nTHE UBYSSEY\nThursday, September 27, 1973\nEsso propaganda on tube\nESSO TO EXXON.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094larry manulak photo\n.but Imperial all the same.\nBy BJORN STAVRUM\nA citizens' consumer group has accused Imperial\nOil of broadcasting \"political propaganda\" last winer\non their Hockey Night in Canada advertisements.\nIn a brief to the Canadian Radio-Television\nCommission, the group, the Association for Public\nBroadcasting in B.C., has complained Imperial Oil\nused the advertising format to \"convince the viewing\npublic that Imperial Oil had created a great benefit\nfor Canada.\"\nTwo specific advertisements are singled out in\nthe complaint. One concerns the job multiplier effect\nof the construction of a new refinery in Edmonton.\nWhat the advertisement does not say is refineries in\nWinnipeg, Regina, and Calgary will be closed, thus\ncausing loss of jobs.\nThe association's brief stated the advertisement\n\"drastically overstepped the boundary between\ncommon telelvision advertising (objectionable and\none-sided propaganda that it might be), on the one\nhand, and information on a matter of public concern\nand political interest, on the other.\"\nMany politicians including the premiers of both\nSaskatchewan and Manitoba have criticized the\nphasing out of the refineries because of subsequent\njob loss.\nThe second advertisement lauds the environmental protection work the company carried\nout in the Mackenzie delta. What this advertisement\ndoes not reveal is Imperial Oil was instructed by\nfederal agencies in 1971 to suspend certain operations\nin the Mackenzie delta because of failure to comply\nwith conservation rules, the report claims.\nThis claim is supported by recent briefs from the\nCanadian Scientific Pollution and Environmental\nControl Society, the Federation of Ontario\nNaturalists and the Science Council of Canada, the\nassociation brief says.\nA third item in the complaint asks for a public\nhearing into the misuse of advertising time for\ncompany \"political propaganda\" and of the effects of\nadvertising by foreign-owned companies on Canadian\npublic opinion and the Canadian economy.\nThe association has asked for free and equal time\non Hockey Night in Canada to present counterarguments with the licensees, CBC and CTV,\ncovering production costs.\n\"There is nothing illegal about the ads. They\nweren't lies. It's just that a hot political issue was\ncreated especially in Winnipeg and Regina when they\nbegan to close the refineries,\" said Vancouver\nlawyer, Eric Rice, association spokesman.\n\"We felt that with the size of the audience in that\"\ntime slot, advertisements could be very influential,\nand that a balanced point of view is highly desirable,\"\nsaid Rice.\n\"Because Imperial Oil was guilty of omission of\ncertain important facts, their advertisements\nbecame partisan and political in nature, and\ntherefore at variance with the broadcasting policy in\nCanada,\" he said.\n\"What in effect we are asking the CRTC to do is to\nmake a policy decision on advertising,\" said Rice.\nAsked what the association might expect from\nthe CRTC, Rice said: \"It's hard to say. They would bp\ncareful about the kind of thing we are asking for*\nThey don't like interfering with individual programs.\nThey would be very cautious because their decision\ncould have far-ranging effects.\n\"When you have a monopoly on prime time,\nfreedom for everybody to express themselves could\nbe affected,\" Rice said. \"We are just asking for equal\ntime.\"\nConstruction of the Edmonton refinery will\nreduce the number of employees in Winnipeg to 27\nfrom 156, and a similar reduction is expected in\nRegina.\nEd Sherry, spokesman for the Oil, Chemical and\nAtomic Workers Union in Edmonton, said Tuesday\nImperial Oil intends to phase out its Calgary refinery\nby August, 1974.\nSherry said he expects some of the Calgary\nemployees to be offered jobs in Edmonton, but he said\nthere has so far been no company guarantee. He said\nabout 100 men are still employed at the Calgary plant,\ndown from a peak of 125.\nGordon Pollard, Medicine Hat News legislative\nreporter, said in a telephone interview Tuesday there\nis currently a serious attempt by the remaining^\nCalgary employees to buy out the refinery there and\nrun it on a co-op basis to supply the immediate\nCalgary market.\nThe co-op would produce 15,000 barrels a day,\nmaking it a medium-sized refinery.\n\"A co-op on this scale would be unique in North\nAmerica as far as I know,\" said Pollard.\nHe said Mohawk Oil is prepared to sign an\nagreement with such a co-op.\nIn the meantime, Rice said the association has\nhad no reaction from Imperial Oil.\nThe company was unavailable to comment on the\ncharges.\nOctober\ntune up\nspecial\nfrom 19 9S\nClutch jobs\nas low as\nO *9*'\n10% OFF ON\nALL REPAIRS\nMOTORS REBUILT\n12 Month Warranty or 12,000 Miles\n$235 FOR 36 H.P.\n$265 FOR 40 H.P.\n$295...

But he said at an\nearlier meeting he thinks the\nadministration might use the\nconcession as leverage for additional revenue in the future.\nAngus had previously told\ncouncil he doesn't think the additional services represent much of\na concession on the ad\nministration's part. For example,\nAngus said, the administration\nwould provide more proctors but\nwould not pay for repairs caused\nby vandalism while those proctors\nwere on duty.\nWilson pointed out that an escape\nclause in the conventions\nagreement would permit the\nsociety to cancel (within 30 days)\nanytime it wanted to.\nHe said copies of the legal\nopinion will be available should\nAMS councellors wish to inspect it.\nAMS lawyers have estimated it\nwould cost the society $2,500 to\n$3,500 if they have to go through\narbitration.\nIn other business, council\nrefused to rescind a motion sending two AMS councillors to the\nOctober convention of the National\nUnion of Students in Edmonton.\nCouncil voted Sept. 19 to send\nBonnie Long, AMS external affairs\nofficer, and Teri Reynolds,\nagricultural undergraduate\nsociety rep, to the convention.\nHowever, Bill Moen, arts undergraduate society president,\nsaid the campus would best be\nrepresented by AMS president\nBrian Loomes because the NUS\nhad adopted an increasingly more\npolitical stance than first anticipated.\nHe said Reynolds, a member of\nthe Students' Coalition executive\nlast year, was on the NUS's first\ncentral committee and that she\nwas \"service orientated\".\nLong is also a member of the\nStudents' Coalition which during\nthe last election favored student\nservices over political issues.\nCheech Chong tickets on sale\nTickets are selling fast for the Oct. 20 Cheech and\nChong concert in the War Memorial gym.\nAnd when that's over the Alma Mater Society has\nsigned the Beach Boys to play the gym Nov. 4.\nAMS special events co-ordinator Gordon\nBlankstein said Wednesday 800 tickets have been\nbought for Cheech and Chong after only one day of\nsales and the concert could be sold out by the\nweekend.\nA total of 4,500 tickets are available, 3,000 to UBC\nstudents at $3 each, and another 1,500 at $4 each for\noff-campus people.\nTickets will be $5 at the door but Blankstein said\nhe doesn't expect any will be left by that time.\nBut tickets for the Friday Murray McLaughlan\nconcert in the SUB ballroom are moving slowly and\nBlankstein said the Alma Mater Society could lose\n$1,000 on the event.\nHe said the society would have to take in $2,000\njust to break even and only 150 out of 1,000 $3 tickets\nhave been sold.\nThe society cleared $550 on the Sept. 14 John\nMayall concert in the gym Blankstein said.\nAnd he said he expects a further profit of $700 to\n$800 on Cheech and Chong which would more than\ncover any loss on McLaughlan.\nThe AMS has an arrangement with a downtown\nbacker who will take 10 per cent of the net at the\nCheech and Chong concert, he said.\nThe society will get 10 per cent and the remainder\nwill go to the performers.\nIt costs the society $250 to rent the gym and so far\nthere has been no damage to the administration-\nowned facility, Blankstein said.\nTickets for the concerts are available at the AMS\nbusiness office in SUB.\nBlankstein said tickets for the Beach Boys\nconcert won't be on sale for another two weeks.

So they can make more and more profits from\ntapping the Alaskan oil fields and bringing them south along\nour coast. Madison Avenue and the oil companies have been\ntrying to bring this point into the minds of the American\npeople and especially their legislators by their incredible\n\"oil-shortage\" campaign of the past two years \u00E2\u0080\u0094 and making\nrecord profits in the meantime.\nAnd the end result is another rip-off case of corporate\nimperialism through the imminent spoiling of our coastline.\nWhat can we do about it?

To\nour view the situation is this:\n* Grad students are faced with\npaying two fees to two essentially\nsimilar organizations; the sum of\nthese almost equals present UBC\nfaculty club fees;\n* These two organizations do not\noffer services or facilities of any\nkind a student could hot obtain off\ncampus or simply not use and still\ncomplete his or her education, i.e.\nthey are not essential in any way;\n* The apathy, and at times\nantipathy, so abundantly\ndemonstrated by grad students\ntoward the AMS and GSC means\nsimply that most grad students, if\nthey had their choice, would\nprobably belong to only one of the\norganizations \u00E2\u0080\u0094 perhaps neither;\n* There is a substantial minority\n(at least in the department of\nmicrobiology) of grad students\nwho are married and have small\nchildren. These students have little\ntime to use GSC-AMS facilities and\ncertainly have no extra money to\nspend on them;\n* Any position that adult human\nbeings (i.e. grad students) should\nbe forced to belong to\norganizations totally peripheral to\ntheir chosen goal \u00E2\u0080\u0094 an advanced\ndegree \u00E2\u0080\u0094 and are not to be trusted\nto decide whether such memberships are in his or her best\ninterests is insulting and\ndegrading. It flies in the face of the\ndemocratic principle where\ncitizens should have free choice\nwherever the public is not involved.\nWe therefore propose grad\nstudents:\n* Disband the GSA and return\nour debt-ridden facilities to the\nmortgage holders or allow it to\ncontinue on a voluntary basis to all\nwho wish to join;\n* Make membership in AMS\noptional for grad students \u00E2\u0080\u0094 after\nall, grad students could be issued\nlibrary cards denoting their lack of\nsuch status \u00E2\u0080\u0094 and bar them from\nusing AMS facilities;\nWe believe this would result in a\nfair and equitable situation for all:\nthose who want the benefits of\nmembership in non-essential\norganizations could enjoy them\nand pay for them, while others who\nchoose not to pay would have their\nown money to spend as they like.\nWhat we want, then, is a GSA\npoll to present these two questions:\nWould you belong to GSA if you\nhad a free choice?\nWould you belong to AMS if you\nhad a free choice?\nOur personal feeling is the GSA\nexecutive would not dare conduct\nsuch a poll because the grad'\nstudents' rejection of GSA would\nbe certain.\nSo that is it \u00E2\u0080\u0094 we challenge the\nGSA executive to conduct this poll.\nWe suggest all grad students\nfeeling as we do should send a\nletter to The Ubyssey.\nThomas L.

Muller\ngraduate studies, microbiology\nClarification\nA couple of points in connection\nwith the graduate student\nassociation \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Alma Mater Society\nmini-crisis need clarification. The\nheadline \"GSA may take AMS to\ncourt\" in Tuesday's Ubyssey is\nhardly accurate. The GSA \"may\"\nalso fly to the moon, sponsor panty\nraids or commit mass suicide, but\nit isn't likely. There is no\nsuggestion whatsoever at this time\nthat the GSA executive plans to\ntake legal action against the AMS\nor anyone else.\nAll we are doing is complying\nwith a directive given us at the first\nGSA general meeting of the year \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthat is, obtaining a legal judgment\nof several questions which have\ncome up. The GSA executive's\nposition remains unchanged \u00E2\u0080\u0094 we\ndo not believe secession from the\nAMS is justified in any way, and we\nbelieve it is only fair that graduate\nstudents pay their share of services such as The Ubyssey and\nSUB, the same as everyone else.\nWe hope a legal investigation of\nthe situation will clear the air and\ntherefore are happy to go through\nwith it.\nWhen we say last week's opinion\npoll was a warning to the AMS to\nshape up, we are not acting from a\nnarrow sectional point of view. It's\nour belief that a vote in almost any\nundergraduate society would have\nproduced approximately the same\njob. The vote is more a symptom of\na general malaise within the AMS\nthan of any particular graduate\nstudent grievance. It's for this\nreason that we don't think any\nproblems will be solved by splitting.\nFinally, a letter in one of the\npapers last week implied that we\nhad threatened to resign if the vote \u00E2\u0080\u009E\non AMS membership went against\nour recommendation. This of\ncourse was a complete falsehood.\nWe stated that we would not\npreside over a secession of\ngraduate students from the AMS\nand that is still our position. But\nseeing as last week's vote was\nsimply an opinion poll, we are still\ntogether, and we plan to continue\nin office for the foreseeable future.\nPaul Knox\nvice-president -\ngraduate student association\nThe Ubyssey welcomes letters\nfrom all readers.\nLetters should be signed and, if\npossible, typed.\nPen names will be used when\nthe writers real name is also\nincluded for our information in\nthe letter, or when valid reasons \u00C2\u00AB*\nfor anonymity are given.\nAlthough an effort is made to\npublish all letters received, The\nUbyssey reserves the right to edit\nletters for reasons of brevity,\nlegality, grammar or taste.\nr\nMWSSIY\nSEPTEMBER 27,1973\nPublished Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout the\nuniversity year by the Alma Mater Society of the University of\nB.C.

They sweat. Everyone does, it's\ntrue, but there are many people around who work hard at it. They\nrun, swim, kick bits of inflated leather around a field. Things like\nthat.\nThose activities seem perverse enough, but now tthere's an extra\nkink added. They're being charged to do it. Recreation UBC wants $5\nfrom you (if you're a student) or $10 (if you're staff or faculty) for the\nprivilege of cleaning out your pores.\nIt's about the same as being charged a dime to.use the toilet in a\nbus station.\nRec UBC was introduced a year ago with the promise of great\nthings. But what do you get for your $5?\nUse of gym and recreation facilities, use of equipment, some\ninstruction, some supervision. But in many cases what's provided\nnow is nothing more than what was provided free before Rec UBC\narrived on the scene to stick its smelly hand into your wallet.\nAn example. On the third floor of the gym there exists a chamber\nof horrors which is also known as The Circuit. Persons addicted to\nsuch activities make their way around it grunting and groaning,\nlifting weights, running stairs, doing horrid things like sit-ups (with a\nfive-pound weight beind the head). Disgusting \u00E2\u0080\u0094 but some people get\noff on that sort of thing.\nThe circuit's been there for some time. Several years in fact. Up\nuntil a year ago it was free. Now it's part of Rec UBC. You're supposed to have a $5 sweat card to use it. But there's nothing new there.\nYou're getting no new facilities to justify the $5 charge.\nIn fact, the circuit probably costs less to operate now than it did\ntwo or three years ago. At that time it was open limited hours and a\nstudent was paid to take the weights and equipment out of storage\nand set them up each morning and to put them away each night.\nEven at the rates paid students for such joe jobs, the amount involved over a year must have been considerable.\nNow the weights and equipment are left out at all times. That\nlabor cost has been eliminated.\nThe equipment must be long paid for. There's no rent to pay.\nIf the campus community wants extended services in some\nareas, it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask those who use them to\ncontribute to their cost.\nBut to charge students a fee when no service is being provided is\noutrageous.\nFREE\nVANCOUVER\nSYMPHONY\nORCHESTRA\ntoday\"\nWar Memorial Gym\n12:45 -2:15 p.m.\nFOR NEW 8 USED\nBOOKS\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 TEXTBOOKS\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 PAPERBACKS\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 MAGAZINES\n* MONARCH NOTiS\n* SCHAUMS OUTUNB\n* COUS NOTiS\n* LARGEST SELECTION OF\nREVIEW NOTES IN\nB.C.\n* WE TRADE USED\nPOCKETBOOKS\nCASH PAID FOR TEXTS, ETC.\nBETTER BUY BOOKS\n4393 W\u00C2\u00ABt 10th A v..\n(n*ar Varsity Theatre)\n224-4144 Open 11 a.m.-8 p.m.\nTUXEDO\nRENTAL & SALES\n* Browns * Blues\n* Greys * Burgundy\n* Tux-Tails * Velvets\n* Double-Knits * White\nParking at Rear\nBLACK & LEE\nFormal Wear Rentals\n631 HOWE 688-2481\nASSOCIATED STORES:\n613 No. 3 Rd., Richmond 278-5031\n1395 Commercial 255-2939\n3336 Cambie 874-7630\n4154 E.

It set forth that there should be a\nwomen's athletic association and that tthe\nassociation president be a member of the student\ncouncil.\nWomen's college athletics in B.C. began even\nprior to the establishment of UBC. From 1906 to 1915,\nwhen university students attended the founding\nMcGill University College of British Columbia,\nwomen were active in two sports: basketball and\nfield hockey. These teams relied completely on public\nand private facilities. This reliance continued during\nthe first session of UBC, 1915-1916, with the addition of\ntwo more activities: swimming and ice hockey.\nAnother important step was added that first\nsession, an intermural program. This consisted of one\nsport, basketball. First, second and third year arts\nstudents were involved. The approximate female\nenrolment at UBC from 1915 to 1918 ranged from 150\nto 200.\nDuring the First World War, the women's athletic\nprogram deteriorated. This was halted only at the\nwar's close.\nA large factor in the comeback was a rivalry\nbetween UBC and the University of Victoria which\nopened as an affiliate. This athletic rivalry continued\non an increasing basis. Each year \"invasions\" were\nstaged by the visiting university. Damage to the ship\ncarrying UBC during an \"invasion\" ended this era in\n1945.\nLack of facilities continued to hamper\ndevelopment of the sports program during the '20s\nand '30s. Another factor was the small budget\navailable for sports. In 1925, $182 was the women's\nathletic association's budget. This was added to by a\nwoman's rooster club who sold rooster's hats at\nmeets.\nIn 1929 the first university gymnasium was\nopened. It was financed mainly by the students via\nstunts, $2 self-imposed taxes and an AMS bond issue.\nIt cost $40,000. The gym gave UBC teams the chance\nto practise more often at much less expense.\nIn 1930, women's sports recieved two boosts. The\nwomen's UBC basketball team won the world\nchampionship during the Olympic games held at\nPrague. Also during the year, the women's big block\nclub was founded.\nDuring the Second World War, women's sports\nagain hit a period of decline. Much needed gymnasium time was taken over by drilling\nrequirements.\nHowever, in 1942, as part of compulsory war work\nrequested by the women's undergraduate society\nthere was one hour a week keep fit class organized by\nthe women's physical education instructor. An offshoot of this was a heavy emphasis and revitalization\nof the women's intramural program.\nAfter the war, there was a heavy demand by\nreturning veterans and an increasing student body on\nthe available facilities. There were several stop gap\nmeasures used while the War Memorial gymnasium\nwas being financed and built 1946-1951.\nAn RCAF hangar was transported onto the\ncampus, reconstructed and opened in 1948 as an\nathletic fieldhouse for sports such as archery, tennis,\nbadminton, golf and track. There were also army\nhuts moved in and used for dance classes. After the\nWar Memorial gym opened, a large outdoor swimming pool was added in 1954 for the British Empire\nGames.\nWith the enlarged facilities came a reorganization of the department of athletics. It\nevolved into the physical education department in\n1945 and began granting the Bachelor of Physical\nEducation degree. In 1952 the department received\nschool status.\nThis year also was important to women's\nathletics. The women's athletic committee was\nformed and faculty were no longer on the women's\nathletic directorates.\nAt present, the women's athletic committee is\nrunning on a budget of $29,600. Its program is extensive but cramped due to monetary problems. They\nhave about 19 sports ranging from the traditional\nbasketball to skiing. The women on campus are\nlooking for expansion, both competitively and\norganizationally.\nSports comments\nBy DON HUBBERT\n1) Why should the women's\nathletic association even have to\nconsider having fund-raising\nevents in order to get together\nenough money for women's sports?\n2) With all due respect to Dal\nRichards, and his contributions to\nVancouver football, how about\ncanning those bloody CFL fight\nsongs played at home games.\n3) Our thanks to Ruth and Joyce\nin the athletic office for ensuring\nthat we get copies of all sports\nWomen strong\nSue Rich, vice-president of women's athletics, said Tuesday the\nteams should be strong contenders again this year.\nMany veterans have returned and tryouts are underway. She and\npresident Laurie Wilson hope the upcoming season will equal last year's\nrecords.\nThe first big event is the Canada West University Athletic\nAssociation field hockey championship at Victoria Oct. 12-14.\nFencing is being returned to the national intercollegiate level this\nyear.

We offer, of course, the classic intramural sports such\nas volleyball, basketball and badminton. But, hockey, marbles, squash\nand a bonspiel are among a dozen other activities offered.\nAt present, there are 25 organizations, sororities and clubs composed of 1,300 women participating in intramurals. All female staff,\nfaculty and students at UBC are eligible for the program.\nThe women's intramural program is run by the students and funded\nby a discretionary grant from the Alma Mater Society. The AMS has\nallocated 12 cents towards this program for each woman on campus.\nWhy not take advantage of your 12 cents and join women's intramurals?\nIt is simple to become involved in the women's program. One way is\nto contact the intramural unit manager of the organization you're interested in joining. A second method is to visit the intramural office in\nWar Memorial gym 202A or phone 228-5326.\nA third possibility is to attend an organizational meeting of the\nintramurals which are held noon Fridays in room 213 of the gym. All\nteams must be represented at the meeting to be included in the regular\nschedule.\nPEUGEOT\nSALE\n... an\nunexpected\nbuy\nT point\nreus\nEst. 1930\n3771 W. 10th Ave.\n224-3536\nF.U.S. Presents\nUNDERCUT '73\nwith\nHANK and the HOBOS\nSaturday, September 29\n8:30 P.M.\nS.U.B.

In other words, education is\nworth cold, hard cash.\nBeing born to a poor family\nmeans that as a child you must\nlearn to undervalue yourself and\nretreat into a smaller world that\nhas been ordained for you. With\nfew exceptions, the fate of these\npoor children is sealed before they\neven walk across the threshhold of\nschools that would have failed\nthem in any event.\nBoth hardships of economic\nsupport while attending an\neducational institution, and the\nincompatibility of the values expressed through the education\nsystem with those of the environment in which the poor must\nlive create a contradiction which is\nirreconcilable \u00E2\u0080\u0094 resulting in\nalmost every case, in the aborting\nof the individual's education.\nThe demand for high educational\nattainment, often unnecessarily\nhigh levels, by the employers,\nlocks the door to opportunity for\nthe vast majority of the poor. The\nsenate committee on poverty found\nthat \"89 per cent of low-income\nfamilies were headed by persons\nwho had not completed high\nschool.\"\nOnce a family has sunk into\npoverty, the chances of the next\ngeneration rising out of it are very\nslim.\nNow, more than ever, education\nmeans opportunity. Education\ncosts money and regardless of how\nfree it may be, lower income\nfamilies tend to take their children\nout of school at an earlier age and\nput them to work. Lower income\nfamilies are obviously penalized\nwhen it comes to higher education,\nwhich in Canada has always been\nprohibitively expensive. A recent\nstudy indicated that the cost of a\nyear's university education is\nabout $2,800.\nThe education levels of the\nfamily heads were very likely\ninfluenced by the income and\nrelated circumstances of their\nparents; and their circumstances\nin turn are likely to influence the\nlevels attained by their children.\nThe richest class has more than\ntwice as many students in the\nschool as the poorest section of the\nsociety.\nA student from the top 25 per\ncent of the population\neconomically and of the top 25 per\ncent in ability has 87 chances out of\n100 of going to college. A student of\nthe same measured ability but\nfrom the bottom quartile\neconomically has about one-half\nthe chance. Further, the\neconomically disadvantaged have\na much lower chance of even\nfinishing college.\nThe parents of 50.6 per cent of\nuniversity students are either\nproprietors and managers or\nprofessionals. These classes form\nonly 15.6 per cent of the labor force.\nOn the other hand, the parents of\nonly 5.1 per cent of university\nstudents are from laborers\nalthough they institute 20.5 per\ncent of the labor force. Thus,\nchidren whose fathers are in the\nhighly paid professions have 10\ntimes as many students in the\nsample than they would have if\nrepresentation were equal.\nWhereas only 4.6 per cent of\nfamily heads between ages 35-65\nyears had a university degree,\ntheir children constituted 20.6 per\ncent of the university enrolment.\nOn the other side of the scale, only\n26.5 per cent university students\ncame from parents having\nelementary schooling, constituting\n53.7 per cent of the family heads.\nThough there are many reasons\nas to why people end up at a particular place in the occupational\nhierarchy, one must look to the\nclass structure which prevails to\nfully, or even adequately, comprehend the persistence of class\noppression and exploitation.\nThe present division of labor\nserves the needs and priorities of\nthe owners of capital and not the\nneeds of the vast majority of the\npeople.\nThe owners of capital want to\nperpetuate their rule and\nreproduce the hierarchical divison\nof lahor from generation to\ngeneration.\nIf we are to change this situation,\nif we are to create an environment\nof equal opportunity, we have to\nremove those class differences\nwhich contradict the very basic\nvalues of a democratic society.\nWe must remove the social and\npsychological barriers to\neducational opportunity and increase the accessibility to\neducational institutions to such an\nextent that all Canadians can\ncontribute their full talents.\nOnly then can our human\nresources be utilized fully.\nWe must also overhaul our\neducational philosophy so that the\nclass differences are not perpetuated and reinforced at the\neducational institutions, but rather\nreduced or eliminated.\nPERCENTAGE DISTRIBUTION OF FAMILIES BY INCOME GROUPS AND EDUCATION OF HEAD,\n1971\nELEMENTARY\nSECONDARY\nNON-\nSCHOOLING\nSCHOOLING .\nUNIVERSITY\nUNIVERSITY\nINCOME CROUP\n0-4\ns-t\nYEARS\nYEARS\nSOME\nCOMPLETED\nSOME\nCOMPLETED\nSOME\nDEGREE\nPER CENT\nUNDER $1,000\n2.6\n2.7\n2.3\n1.7\n2.7\n0.9\n1.1\n1.3\n$ 1.000-$ 1.999\n8.4\n3.8\n1.8\n1.2\n1.6\n0.7\n0.8\n0.4\n2.000- 2.999\n12.4\n6.5\nJ.6\n2.2\n1.8\n1.0\n1.6\n1.0\n3.0OO- 3.999\n17.8\n9.3\n5.3\n3.5\n2.7\n2.3\n2.0\n1.1\n4,000- 4,999\n10.4\n7.4\n5.0\n3.5\n2.8\n2.2\n2.3\n1.6\n5.000- 5.999\n7.5\n7.9\n6.2\n4.8\n4.7\n4.4\n4.7\n1.5\n6.000- 6.999\n7.7\n7.9\n6.7\n5.3\n4.4\n5.3\n3.5\n2.0\n7,000- 7,999\n4.9\n8.5\n7.3\n6.7\n6.5\n7.2\n5.1\n2.5\n8,000- 8,999\n6.0\n7.8\n8.7\n9.4\n10.4\n8.5\n5.8\n4.0\n9.000- 9.999\n5.2\n6.7\n8.5\n7.8\n6.8\n9.7\n5.3'\n4.7\n10,000- 11.999\n5.6\n12.5\n15.5\n16.7\n16.6\n17.2\n16.9\n9.9\n12.000- 14.999\n5.5\n9.4\n15.2\n18.5\n19.3\n21.5\n18.8\n17.8\n15,000- 24,999\n5.3\n8.9\n12.4\n16.6\n16.4\n17.9\n25.4\n34.2\n25.000 AND OVER\n0.9\n0.9\n1.5\n2.0\n3.3\n1.2\n6.7\n18.1\nTOTAL\n100.0\n100.0\n100.0\n100.0\n100.0\n10O.0\n100.0\n10O.0\nAVERAGE INCOME\n$6,420\n$8,276\n$9,895\n$11,147\n$11,474\n$11,346\n$13,437\n$19,002\nA SUB FILMSOC PRESENTATION\nThurs. ^\" \"^.
