" the Ubyssey\nn\nEverything you ever\nwanted to know and\nmore, about\nThe Ubyssey\nFounded in 1918\nVancouver, B.C., Friday, September 21,1990\nVol 73, No 6\nStudent court\nreactivated\nby Nadene Rehnby\nConflict within the AMS executive will force director of finance\nJohn Lipscomb to appear before\nStudent Court and is the motivation behind the circular of a petition calling for his removal from\noffice.\nAMS Vice-President Johanna\nWickie put forward a motion\nWednesday in student's council\nmeeting asking that the question\nof conflict of interest on the part of\nLipscomb be put to Student Court.\nThe motion passed without opposition; Lipscomb abstained.\nThe conflict of interest question arises from Lipscomb's involvement with the Global Development Centre (GDC), a newly\ncreated AMS service organization\nof which Lipscomb has a significant\ninterest.\nAMS co-ordinator of external\naffairs Jason Brett initiated and is\ndistributing a petition requesting\nLipscomb's removal from office.\nThe petition states that Lipscomb's\nperformance has proven to be far\nbelow that expected, and that\nLipscomb has often gone outside\nthe bounds ofthe mandate given to\nhim.\nThe petition calls for the AMS\nto proceed with the recall of\nLipscomb by two-thirds vote of\ncouncil, or, failing that, a referendum to remove him from office.\nBoth Brett and Wickie have been\ninvolved in the circulation of the\npetition.\nBrett said the petition refers\nto the general performance of the\ndirector of finance and has nothing\nto do with the conflict of interest\ncharges.\nLipscomb said the action of\nhis colleagues is like a bad dream.\n(I was) going along and doing everything really well, and then because people don't like my politics,\nor don't like me, they create an\nillusion that I've done something\nwrong.\"\n\"The petition is a personal\nattack on me by people, most of\nwhom didn't get enough money out\nofthe AMS or who I wouldn't bend\nrules for, so that doesn't particularly bother me,\" he said.\nThe allegations against\nLipscomb are numerous. On the\nmatter of his performance as director of finance, Brett said\nLipscomb has \"implemented procedures that effectively prohibited\n(clubs) from having the access to\ntheir money that they were used to\ncreated a lot of controversy by accusing Johanna and Roma of conflict of interest in the Global Development space allocations problems,\" tried to \"overturn renovations committee\", asked to be paid\nan additional two thousand dollars\nto do a job thafs been traditionally\ncompleted within the allotted four\nmonths, and grouped together accounts after council had specifically\ntold him that he couldn't group\nclub accounts with constituency\naccounts.\nBrett al so sai d Lipscomb \"tried\nto cancel the barbecue because he\nwas ethically opposed to any event\ninvolving disposables\"; informed\nthe engineers that he was \"ethically\nunable to authorize\" money for\nfundraising;\" generally speaks to\npeople like he \"thinks that he's\nabove them or something;\" andthat\n\"basically, his performance has not\nbeen satisfactory in the eyes of\nmany students.\"\nWickie has additional complaints about Lipscomb. They include a refusal to sign cheques and\nto deal with loans; the passing ofa\nmotion\u00E2\u0080\u0094while Wickie was out of\ntown\u00E2\u0080\u0094that revoked her responsibility for the AMS used bookstore,\na responsibility that is traditionally within the jurisdiction of the\nvice-president; and, more generally, that Lipscomb has taken to\ncouncil issues based on his own\nmorals.\n\"According to my interpretation of code and bylaws, and in my\npersonal opinion, he is not fulfilling his complete mandate as director of finance,\" said Wickie. \"As\nfor the allegation of conflict of interest, that is up to Student Court\nto decide.\"\nOther clubs and individuals\nhave complaints about Lipscomb's\nperformance, but only one official\ncomplaint had been received by\nthe Ombudsperson at press time.\nOmbudsperson Carole\nForsythe said she was not prepared\nto discuss the matter at present as\nthe matter is still under investigation.\nA spokesperson for an AMS\norganization, who asked not to be\nnamed since their budget is currently before committee, said she\nhas had problems with Lipscomb.\n\"He let his biases for environmental concerns influence his\njudgment,\" she said. \"His first\nconcern should be the finances of\nGoddess of democracy statue's\nnew location in limbo\nthe AMS, and second the environment. I don't think he's doing it\nmaliciously, but he i s very difficult\nto communicate with. ^.\n\"He has done some good\nthings, but he needs to listen to\npeople, he has to learn he can't just\ndo things the way he wants them\nto be,\" she said.\nLipscomb said, Tm sorry that\npeople find me hard to talk to. I try\nreally hard to do things well.\"\nThe UBC Debating Society\naddressed council Wednesday regarding Lipscomb's involvement\nwith the GDC. Jason Ford, spokesperson for the UBC Debating Society, reminded council that the\nmotion that made the GDC an AMS\nservice organization was passed\nby a vote of 12 to 6 with four abstentions. An abstention by\nCALVIN DANG PHOTO\nLipscomb would have defeated the\nmotion as it would have failed to\nreach the required two-thirds majority.\n\"Had Mr. Lipscomb abstained\nin the vote concerning the status of\nthe GDC, he would not have been\nin violation of your Conflict of Interest code,\" Ford said. \"However,\nhis yes vote was most certainly in\ndirect contravention of that code.\"\nAlthough Lipscomb admits to\nhisinvolvement with theGDC; that\nhe formulated a petition regarding\nGDC space on the concourse; that\nthe petition was formulated on his\ncomputer and that he participated\nin the collection of signatures,\nLipscomb said \"I do not believe\nthis poses a conflict of interest.\n\"I do not deny that I am a large\nsupporter of the GDC,\" he said,\n\"but I'm really worried about students thinking that this is some\nserious matter, my volunteering in\none part ofthe AMS and volunteering in another part ofthe AMS. It's\nall one big organization and I just\nhave a lot of energy to spend, and I\nreally care about development.\"\nIn response to the charges,\nLipscomb said, \"There used to be a\nton of stuff that didn't pass this\noffice. Now Fve asked a lot more\nthings to be forwarded to me, and\nthishascausedotherpeople within\nthe AMS to be hostile to me.\"\nRegarding the decision to remove authority for the bookstore\nfrom the office of vice-president,\nLipscomb said \"I did that openly.\ncontinued on page 4.\nGoddess1 position on campus in question\nBy Paul Abbott\nA proposed campus replica of\nthe \"Goddess of Democracy\" appears to be snarled in red tape.\nThe the six foot tall statue is\nintended as amemorial to the Chinese students who were killed in\nTiananmen square on June 4,1989,\nand the principles which they died\nfor. The monument is to be erected\nbetween the Aquatic Centre and\nthe Student Union Building.\nAlthough $12,000 has already\nbeen given to the AMS for site\npreparation and the proposal has\nbeen before the director of Campus\nPlanning and Development, Tim\nMiner, since August 10, no word is\nforthcoming on its approval.\nThe statue was conceived and\nfunded by the Federation of Chinese Student Scholars of Canada,\n(FCSSC), and the Vancouver Society in Support ofthe Democratic\nMovement, (VSSDM), an organization based in Chinatown. The\napproximately $25,000 needed for\nthe project has already been raised\nby the two organizations.\nAccording to FCSSC president\nDr Dongquing Wei it will be the\nonly permanent statue of its kind\nin the world. Wei said it will \"express the outrage of Chinese student scholars to the massacre\" and\naid their endeavors to \"protect\nhuman rights and promote (the)\ndemocratization of China.\"\nThe statue has been plagued\nby controversy since it was first\nproposed to the Vancouver Parks\nBoard in March 1990. At that time\nit was to be built outside the Dr.\nSun Yat Sen park in Chinatown\nbut, because of disagreement\namong the Chinese community, the\nVSSDM modified their proposal\nand asked for a plaque instead.\nOpposition to the project has\ncome mainly from the Chinese\nBenevolent Association. The CBA\nis a diverse organization of business and cultural interests with\nrepresentatives elected from\nmember organizations. Its current\npresident is Bill Yee, a lawyer and\nformer Vancouver alderman.\nThe CBA has given a number\nof reasons for their opposition to\nthe proposals. In an open letter to\nthe Chinese community published\nin Vancouver's Sing Tao Daily on\nMarch 28, they expressed concern\nthat the plaque would \"affect the\npeace of fellow Chinese and the\nprosperity and stability of\nChinatown\", and \"give racists a\npretext to go anti-Chinese\".\nThe letter went on to say that\n\"on the surface, the request is to\nfight for democracy and freedom,\nbut in fact it is only a dirty political\nact, the motive of which cannot l>e\ndivulged.\"\nIn a letter to the Vancouver\ncontinued on page 5.

Griffith\nUBC fraternities joined\nother campus groups condemning three offensive posters that\nappeared on campus Wednesday.\nThe posters, intended to\nparody the fraternity recruitment\nads, were labelled racist and\nhomophobic by frat rush coordinator Hagan Ainsworth.\n\"This is an outrage,\" said\nAinsworth, who walked around\ncampus taking down the ads. \"It's\nunfortunate that it makes the\nfraternities look racist, but we\nhad nothing to do with it. Frater\nnities do not condone in any way\nanything that was portrayed in\nthem.\"\nOne poster was a take-off on\nan ad which read \"A Kappa Sigm a\n-- the Most Wanted Man in the\nCountry.\" The parody showed\ntwo ethnic stereotypes labelled\n\"Chink\" and \"East Asian\" with\nthe caption \"the Most Wanted\nMinorities in the Fraternity. If\nyou are not one of these... don't\njoin Kappa Sigma!\"\nAnother poster depicted\nmembers of a different fraternity dressed in the robes of the\nPetition to recall\nAMS president\nunderway\nby Nadene Rehnby\nA petition started by two students has received widespread support and may result in the recall of AMS\nPresident Kurt Preinsperg.\nPam Costanzo and Alison Bain, the students who\ninitiated the petition, said an estimated 500 signatures\nhave been received, and anticipate that the required 1000\nsignatures will be obtained shortly.\nCostanzo and Bain, as well \"31 hints to get you off to a better\nas other concerned students, have\nbeen taking copies ofthe petition\naround campus in an effort to\ndirect the matter to students.\n\"A lot of people have never\nheard of Kurt Preinsperg,\" said\nCostanzo. \"We explain the issues\nto them, show them the articles\nfrom the Province and the letters\nKurt wrote to The Ubyssey. We\nalso explain that, while Kurt only\nwrote his title in his covering letter, he should have explicitly divorced himself from office.\"\n\"Students are then making\nup their own minds,\" said Bain.\nCostanzo and Bain said they\nhave taken the issue directly to\nstudents, instead of student\ncouncil (where a two-thirds majority could remove him from office), because they want the students to decide.\nPreinsperg agreed the decision should go to students, not\ncouncil.\n\"Impeaching a President is\nsuch a major decision, it should\nbe made by the students who\nelected me,\" Preinsperg said.\n\"Otherwise there would always\nbe a doubt about whether that's\nwhat the majority of students\nwanted.\"\nThe petition is a response to\nstart with woman of your choice,\"\nan article published in Kathy\nTait's love column in the September 6 edition ofthe Province\nnewspaper.\nCostanzo and Bain said concern has escalated since the petition was first distributed and\ncited a September 16 column by\nTait that refers to The Ubyssey\nas \"warped\" and likens having a\nconversation with the coordinator of the UBC Women's\nCentre to that with a \"rattlesnake.\"\nTait said in her column the\nconcern that Preinsperg's views\npromote unequal power relationships is \"utter garbage.\"\nAMS Ombudsperson Carole\nForsythe said she has received\nnine official complaints, all regarding the article in the Province, as well as many unofficial\nones. She said the outcome of\nthese complaints is now out of\nthe hands ofthe Ombuds office.\n\"It is now either a political\ndecision by council, or by students\nwith the petition, or Kurt could\nresign,\" she said.\nPreinsperg said \"For having\nwritten a caring letter in Kathy\nTait's love column, I do not see\nwhy I should resign.\n\"I never meant to give offence . I worked diligently for UBC\nstudents. I am sincerely concerned about the safety and well-\nbeing of students on this campus.\nI care about students. I care about\nwomen's equality,\" he said.\n\"There are only four months\nbefore regular elections. To impeach now over a letter to Kathy\nTait will damage the credibility\nofthe AMS. It will create financial waste and needless political\nturmoil. It will direct further\nmedia attention to an already\noverblown issue,\" he said.\nIn an attempt to clarify the\nlimits of an AMS executive's right\nto voice and publish opinions,\nPreinsperg tabled a motion at\nWednesday's council meeting to\nhave the matter referred to Student Court.\nThe motion was defeated after it failed to receive support\nfrom any council members.\nKu Klux Klan, overseeing an initiation involving farm animals\nand a paddle.\nA third portrayed frat members as homosexuals, referring to\nspecific people and fraternities.\nRepresentatives from three\nminority student groups expressed disapproval, among them\nPatrick Chow, president of the\nChinese Collegiate Society.\n\"There was a lot of talk last\nyear about racism on campus,\"\nChow said. \"We thought the situation would improve. I'm surprised that posters like this would\nstill- come out. I don't know who\ndid this but this damages the image of the frats.\"\nChinese Students Association\npresident Moira Wong said \"we\nknow some people are racist, but\nwhen you actually put it on a\nposter, that's advertising the extent of your racism. And then to\nsign someone else's name to it, ifs\nappalling.\"\nCalling the posters an outrage, Chinese Varsity Club vice\npresident Sylvia Lau said \"if these\nare directed at the frats and\nsomeone's trying to make a point,\nMIKE COURY PHOTO\nit's a bad way to do it.\"\nGays and Lesbians of UBC\npresident Anthony Berno objects\nto the idea that a statement that\na person or group is homosexual\nis considered an insult. \"The assumption is that homosexuality\nis a negative thing.\"\nMichael Muller, also of\nGLUBC, said the offending posters only serve to \"show that the\npeople who did them are obviously livingin the dark ages. They\nshould be enlightened (but)\nthey're only displaying their own\nxenophobia.\"\nAMS anti-discrimination coordinator Carol Hui said \"this\nincident just proves that discriminatory attitudes are eilive\nand well at UBC, and that making this campus harassment-free\nfor all students should be a priority for the administration and\nthe AMS.\"\nThe question arises of who\nmight be responsible for the\nparody ads.\nKappa Sigma member John\nYamoto said that whoever had\nmade the poster showed some\ninside knowledge ofthe fraternity\nsystem with \"specific references\nto certain fraternities and their\ninside jokes. The chances are that\nit was done by someone who is or\nhas been associated with a fraternity.\"\nSandeep Sidhu, also of\nKappa Sigma, said that because\nthe posters were generally anti-\nGreek another fraternity would\nnot have put them up. \"You would\nnever find a fraternity insulting\nanother fraternity because it\nwould make the whole Greek\nsystem look bad.\n\"No fraternity's international headquarters condones\nracism or prejudice of any kind.\nIt would have to be an individual,\nwithout their fraternity's consent,\" Sidhu said.\nSculpture chiselled by Wreck\nBeach artist John Genn (conspicuously absent).\nAMS fee hike proposed\nPreinsperg's letter to Province\nsparked petition.\nby Jason Robertson\nIn early October, students at\nUBC will be asked to vote to increase their AMS fees by $5.\nIn Wednesday's student council meeting, a motion was passed\nenabling the AMS to post and distribute a poster advertising the\nreferendum to be held October 9-\n12 that, if approved, will raise the\ncurrent annual student fees from\n$39.50 to $44.50.\nAMS vice president Johanna\nWickie said the poster, an explanation ofthe referendum and a list\nof initiatives that the AMS is considering, is 90% certain to reflect\nthe ballot as it will appear. Students\nwill also be asked to indicate which\nof several suggested initiatives\nshould be allocated money.\nWickie said the AMS is currently in a $28,000 deficit situation, and wants to take on new\ninitiatives.\n\"The AMS is currently undergoing huge financial strain under\nwhich all programs will suffer unless funds are found somewhere\nelse.\" The fee increase is to meet\nthe cost of inflation, the last increase having been in 1982, she\nsaid.\nAMS director of finance John\nLipscomb questioned the need for\na fee increase.\n\"There are a lot of unecessary\nexpenditures in the AMS,\"\nLipscomb said.\nHe said major examples include the Macintosh computers\nthat the AMS bought for its executive. \"Lower end models could\nhave been purchased.\"\nHe also said the AMS should\nbe more careful about lending\nmoney. He said a good example is\nthe now deconstituted Musical\nTheatre Society (MUSSOC) which\nhas an outstanding debt of over\n$44,000 dollars, acumulated over\ntwo years.\nHe said he also considers that\nthe $40,000 the AMS pays its five\nexecutives to hire them full time\nduring the summer months is \"a\nlot of money to hire politicians.\"\nThese expenses add up to\nroughly 14percentof the $800,000\nAnnual Operating Budget of the\nAMS. Student's money could be\nbetter spent, he said.\nJorj McWhinnie, the students'\ncouncil music representative said\nin Wednesday's council meeting\nthat the referendum question on\nthe fee increase could be addec. to\nthe ballots in the January AMS\ngeneral elections since the fee increase would not apply until next\nyear.

Green is vehemently opposed to the controversial abortion\nclinic which will open at 16th and\nGranville.\nGreen claims that because of\nthe controversial use of the location, local residents and tenants of\nthe building should have a right to\noppose the location of such a clinic.\nShe further states that a plebiscite\nwould have been appropriate in\nthis case as is often the procedure\nwith proposed openings of establishments such as pubs or drug\nrehabilitation centres. She believes\nan abortion clinic falls into this\ncategory.\nGwen Brodsky, a Vancouver\nlawyer and one of the board of\ndirectors ofthe Elizabeth Bagshaw\nclinic (the non-profit organization\nfunding the clinic), said there is\nclearly a need for another clinic in\nVancouver. She said the Every-\nWomen's Health Clinic (presently\nthe only other private abortion\nclinic in B.C.) is 2 to 3 weeks behind, an alarming fact considering\nthe importance of immediacy in\nthis medical procedure.\nBrodsky said 20 to 30 per cent\nofthe women using abortion clinics in Washington are from B.C., a\nclear indication ofthe shortage of\nclinics in this province. She said it\nis ludicrous for women to be forced\nto seek abortions in a foreign\ncountry and attributes this to the\nad hoc nature of B.C. hospitals\nwhere quota systems restrict the\navailability of abortions.\nAlthough the proposed clinic\nhas met with vocal opposition,\nBrodsky saidthe majority of people\nin Canada view abortion as an\ninherent right for women.\nSUITS FOE WOMEN\nBC Tel blamed for phone hang-ups\nby Michael Booth\nStudents requesting telephone\nservice in Gage, Fairview and\nVancouver School of Theology\nresidences are in for along wait as\nBC Tel and the university's Network and Communications department squabble over who will\npay for the installation of new cable.\nCurrently, 140 students are\nwaiting for telephone service due\nto a shortage of available telephone\nlines on campus. The university\nand the telephone company operate on a loose agreement in which\nUBC owns the cable but BC Tel\nprovides the service. If any new\ntelephone cable is to be installed\non campus, an agreement addressing costs must be reached\nbetween the two sides.\n\"We work together continuously,\" said Dr. Fiorenza Albert-\nHoward, director of Network and\nCommunication. \"Any cable under\nUBC land is our cable and they\nhave to go through us.\n\"Residences are not our problem, they are BC Tel's,\" she said.\n\"Residences get their supply from\nBC Tel. From the time the agreement was made, it has been BC\nTel's responsibility. It has always\nbeen their responsibility.\"\nAlbert-Howard said that\nshortage of available lines on\ncampus was not helped by a sudden increase in demand for faculty\nphone service.\n\"The average number of requests is between 50 and 100 requests per month,\" Albert-Howard\nsaid. \"In August alone, the request\nwas for 850 lines specifically for\nfaculty telephones.\n\"BC Tel has not come forward\nwith any plans for installing new\ncable to residences. They are well\naware of the cable shortage; it's\nnot news to them,\" she said.\nThe university is currently\ninstalling a fibre-optic cable network to facilitate UBC's data\ntransmission requirements. As the\nsystem begins to be utilized, it will\nfree up copper lines that will be\nused to meet the backlog of requests by faculty for telephone service.\n\"In terms of providing service\nfor UBC, we are working on it but\nit has no overnight solution,\"\nAlbert-Howard said. \"Residence\nphones are BC Tel's business but if\nthey need help from us, they can\ncall us.\"\n\"Residences use (BC Tel's)\ncable and if (BC Tel) wants to\nprovide service and make money,\nthen (BC Tel) pays for it,\" she said.\n\"If they want to do work on UBC\nland then they talk with us.\"\nBC Tel public affairs administrator, Kathryn Aberle, said \"the\ncrux of the matter remains the\ndispute over who pays for the installation of cable.\n\"We can't supply service where\nwe don't have any cable available.\"\nshe added.\nSome have it easy in life..\nMIKE COURY PHOTO\nLipscomb's position as D of F challenged\n...Continued from page 1\nThe motion was passed by council.\"\nResponding to other allegations, Lipscomb said \"I didn't think\nit was wrong to request an additional payment for the month of\nAugust. Council turned this down\nand that's fine.\"\n\"I refused to fund the\ndisposables for the barbeque,\"\nLipscomb said. \"I morally cannot\nfund disposables in such large\nquantities. But if my morals don't\nallow me to do something, then\nstudents' council has the power to\noverride me, so there's no fear of\nmy moral convictions hurting the\nstudent union.\"\nAMS president Kurt\nPreinsperg said, \"John is not perfect, far from it, but he's a\nhardworking executive. He has\nhigh ideals and is very stubborn in\npursuit of those ideals.\n\"He has annoyed me many a\ntime and yet I respect him. He's\ndone good work. It borders on the\nabsurd to dream of impeaching\nsomeone like him.\"\nPreinspergis concerned about\nthe recent events.\n\"With this cloud hanging over\nJohn's head, I wouldn't blame him\nif he could not give his best to his\njob,\" he said.\nFormer UBC AMS president\nand current Board of Governors\nrepresentative Tim Bird expressed\nconcern about the effects of AMS\ninfighting.\n\"This year is really no different than other years,\" Bird said.\n\"There is always going to be conflict within the AMS. Ifs inevitable.\n\"But the stakes are so small in\nthe AMS. Is it really worth it to\npublicly embarrass somebody by\ntrying to remove them from office?\"\n\"Ifs not worth it unless somebody has done something to really\ndamage the society,\" Bird said.\n\"That somebody is difficult to work\nwith is not enough.\"\nBird added \"I've never found\nJohn to be all that out of line. He\nhas his own style and he's got his\nown issues at heart. Ifyou have a\nproblem with their (the executives)\nissues, then you have a right to\ncriticize the issues, but not to make\nit a personal attack.\n\"The AMS is an organization\nthat can do a heck of a lot. But as\nlong as there is this degree of infighting involved, it has no potential.\"\n4/THE UBYSSEY\nSeptember 21,1990 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0Jf=J~ k\nHomeless\nstatue\n...Continued from page 1\nParks Board, Yee said \"what the\nVSSDM is asking now really is a\nblatant interference with the affairs\nof another country,\" and that Chinese Canadians should put their\nenergy \"into resolving local issues\nlike the constitutional debate, the\nGST, the education referendum etc.\nwhere Canadians stand to gain,\" he\nsaid.\nIn aradiointerview with CKNW\nhe went so far as to express doubt as\nto whether the massacre actually\noccurred in the manner reported by\nthe Western Press. \"Sometimes you\ncan't believe what you see and hear,\"\nhesaid.\nThe Chinese Government has\nalso been taking an active role in the\nissue, and much of what Yee 1ms said\nechoes its positions.\nFormer Consul General to\nVancouver, Duan Jin, said in the\nSing Tao Daily, March 26,1990, \"as\nfar as China is concerned, this is\ninterference with the internal affairs of China. It doesn't help to make\nany commemoration. It will only\nconfuse the people more and bring\nno good to both China and Canada.\"\nA spokesperson for Chinese students and scholars said \"it is a dream\n(ofthe Chinese) to build the statue.\nIt will touch everyone's heart. It even\ntouched Bill Yee's heart, but he can't\nrespond to his conscience, he's a politician.\"\nThe consulate also sent a letter\nto the MLA for Vancouver-Point\nGrey, Tom Perry, asking him to oppose the statue. \"To the Chinese\" it\nsaid, \"the statue is a reminder of big\npowers bullying weak nations and\nthe humiliation and suffering they\nwere subjected to by the turn of last\ncentury.\"\nPerry responded with strong\nstatement which called the massacre \"a blatant disregard for the universal rights of human beings which\nwere enshrined in the United Nations Charter, to which the People's\nRepublic of China ostensibly subscribes.\"\nHe went on to point out the\n\"curious logic that the Government\nof China would regard criticism ofa\nmass murder of innocent students\nas \"meddling with the internal affairs of a friendly nation' whereas\nConsul General Duan Jin does not\nconsider it inappropriate to suggest\nwhether or not Canadians should\nbe allowed to express their democratic rights in our country.\"\nThe VSSDM and FCSSC have\nnow turned their attention to UBC.\nOn August 1 the AMS unanimously\napproved the building ofthe statue.\nSince then, however, the matter\nhas become bogged down in bureaucracy.\nAccording to AMS co-coordinator of external affairs Jason Brett,\nUBC vice-presidentof academic and\nstudent services, K.D. Srivastava,\nwas informed of the proposal on\nAugust 10 and gave his ^acit approval.\" It was then referred to\nMiner's office on August 15.\n\"I had concern expressed to me\nthat (approval) would take a while\n(so I) expressed my concern to Tim\nMiner that I would like to have it\ndone as soon as possible,\" Brett\nsaid.\nOn August 20 the proposal was\nput before the President's Advisory\nCommittee on Art to advise Tim\nMiner on whether the statue would\nbe aesthetically compatible with its\nsurroundings.\nRepeated efforts to contact\nanyone in the UBC administration\nregarding the statue have been unsuccessful and Srivastiva wouldnot\nreturn The Ubyssey's calls on the\nmatter.\nIn a related matter, both\nSrivastava and UBC president\nDavid Strangway declined an invitation to speak at a fast held by the\nFCSSC on June 4, 1990, the anniversary of the Tiananmen square\nmassacre.\nThe University of British Columbia\nTHE CECIL H.

This applies to the\nmonthly fare cards only, not single\njourneys.\nStudents commuting from\nSurrey or Coquitlam save $40 per\nmonth on their bus passes, while\nthose from Burnaby and the North\nShore save $17. People living in\nthe central zone (West of Boundary)\nreceive no discount.\nJason Brett, AMS representative for the Student Transit Advisory Committee, helped negotiate this arrangement with B.C.\nTransit last year. STAC includes\nstudents representatives from all\nVancouver colleges and universities.\n\"(STAC) was created ten years\nago to combat eroding concessions\non fares for students,\" Brett said.\nStudents used to receive concessions, but fares increased during\nthe eighties. Until two years ago,\npost-secondary students received\nno discounts on transit.\nBrett said STAC lobbied for\nbigger price breaks, but B.C.\nTransit is operating from a revenue-neutral stance. \"Unless\nstudents generate the funds, there\nwill be no true concession,\"he said.\nPaul Barlowe, Manager of\nTreasury and Risk Management\nfor B.C. Transit, said students\nshould be going through the Ministry of Advanced Education for\ntheir funding.\n\"Why should we give university students subsidies?\" he said.\n\"There are people making five\ndollars an hour who use transit to\nget to work, and they don't get\nsubsidies.\"\nBarlowe said the program is\non a year to year trial basis.\nFast Trax stickers are available to all full-time students at the\nAMS Ticket Office in SUB for two\ndollars.\nVancouver buses made\naccessable to disabled\nBank of Montreal\nVancouver (CUP) - Disabled\npeople will finally have full access\nto transit throughout the lower\nmainland thanks to the introduction of Canada's first lift-equipped\nbuses.\nDisabled students who must\ncommute to the remote campuses\nin Greater Vancouver will be\nstrongly affected by the new buses,\nequipped with hydraulic lifts which\nmake it possible to load wheelchairs.\n\"Certainly this makes the\ntransit system a lot more accessible\nto people who were unable to use it\nbefore,\" said Frank Jonasen,\npresident ofthe B.C.

The entire fleet\nwill be wheelchair accessible in\n\"about 17-20 years,\" she added.\nBut students who use electric\n3 wheel scooters are still waiting\nto use the lift-equipped buses. According to Gendron, scooters will\nnot be allowed on the buses until\nearly 1991, after \"transit engineers\ndevelop a safe tie-down system.\"\n\"I think that before they deny\nus a space on the bus system they\nshould figure out another solution\nbefore keeping the ban on people\non scooters,\" said Simon Fraser\nUniversity sociology student Karen\nVan Biesen.\n\"It reminds me of when blacks\nwere asked in the U.S. to get to the\nback ofthe bus,\" she said.\nJonasen, a student at\nKwantlen College in Surrey, said\nB.C.EADS would suggest that\nother B.C. bus systems try to get\nlift-equipped buses.\n\"In a college community like\nPrince George or Kamloops, one or\ntwo lift equipped buses, maybe on\na route to schools and the main\nshoppingarea, would make a world\nof difference,\" he said.\nCanada's National Education\nAssociation of Disabled Students\n(NEADS) coordinator, Frank\nSmith, said that while NEADS\nsupports the idea of lift-equipped\nbuses in other cities, the organization \"doesn't have the resources\"\nto lobby for them.\n\"We're all in favor of integrating transit systems,\" Smith\nsaid. \"It's a great idea.\"\nJoin The Ubyssey...\nThe world is waiting to be sabotaged,\nwritten about, photographed, satired,\ndrawn, and ridiculed.\nDocument chaos.\nCome to SUB 24IK\n6/THE UBYSSEY\nSeptember 21,1990 Slavonic Studies\nprogram to be altered\nby Sharon Doyle\nThe Slavonic Studied* department will be revamped dramatically over the next two years with\nspecial emphasis placed on Russian\nlanguage and literature.\nPat Marchak, dean of Arts,\nsaid that the department is not\nbeing cancelled as much as it is\nundergoing a transformation. The\nintention is to alter the direction of\nthe curriculum over the next two\nyears.\nThe department will place a\ngreater emphasis on the Russian\nLanguage and Literature areas of\nthe program. As a result, the historical, sociological, economical and\npolitical aspect of Slavonic Studies\nwill suffer.\nThis is unfortunate as\nMarchak believes that UBC is\nweak in these areas. The university\nis unable to hang on to enough\nqualified professors to keep the\ndepartment academically competitive.\nFurthermore, there is a lack\nof students interested in Slavonic\nStudies as a course major. This\ncould be attributed to the events in\neastern Europe over the past year.\nDr. C.J.G. Turner, executive\nsecretary of Slavonic Studies, resigned as department head over\nthe summer. Marchak is currently\nserving aone to two year internship\nas head ofthe department and will\noversee the implementation ofthe\ndepartment's changes.\nThe root of the Slavonic\nStudies department's problems is\na lack of financial resources. This\nis a common plight to many if not\nall departments in the Faculty of\nArts. The faculty's budget was\nslashed by $800,000 for the 1990-\n1991 session.\nPrank calls plague CiTR\nby Sophia Harris\nA prank caller on campus has\nangered university radio station\nCITR and embarrassed some UBC\nresidents.\nOn Monday night, a male\ncaller claiming to be from CITR\nmade over two dozen phone calls to\npay phones at Totem Park and\nPlace Vanier residences, between\n9 and 11pm. He said that he was\nconducting a radio contest, and\ntold the students who answered\nthey would win $100 worth of goods\nif they couldidentify a certain song.\n20 students who responded to\nthe calls arrived at CITR Monday\nnight, and another six on Tuesday,\nrequesting their prizes.\nCITR's station manager,\nLinda Scholten, said she knew\nnothing about the calls and was\nsurprised to see prospective winners arrive at her office.\n\"At first I gave them some\nstuff, some cassettes and things,\nbut more showed up,\" Scholten\nsaid. \"If I gave any more things\naway, we wouldn't have any prizes\nleft for the real CITR Ring Contest\nnext week.\"\nA Vanier resident who received one ofthe fraudulent calls\nsaidthe caller had an outgoing, DJ\nsounding voice.\n\"The phone rang at 10:15pm\non Monday night,\" she said.\n\"Someone said, 'Hi, this is CITR.' I\ndidn't know who CITR was, and he\nexplained that it was a radio station on campus. Then he said,\n'We're running a contest, and if\nyou can name this song, 111 give\nyou a prize.' He played 'Always on\nMy Mind' by the Pet Shop Boys.\"\nWhen the resident went to\nCITR to claim her winnings, she\nwas told the contest was a scam.\nBut they gave her a DJ Sound War\nt-shirt as a compensatory prize.\nThe resident said she thought\nthe culprit was someone from\nCITR, because when she told\nScholten what the caller had said\nthe prizes were (t-shirts, movie\npasses, coupons, etc.), Scholten\ninformed her that was exactly what\nthey were going to give away next\nweek.\n\"It could be someone from\nCITR, but I don't know why,\" said\nScholten. \"If it's someone seeking\nrevenge on us, this prank is so\npointless and so dumb.\"\nShe said she thought the caller\nlives in residence. \"It was not done\nin the CITR office. There were\npeople working there that night.\"\nScholten also said she does\nnot mind the publicity CITR received from the calls, but she dislikes having to turn people away\nwho are expecting prizes.\nCITR's annual Ring Contest\nruns from September 24 to 28. The\nradio station calls pay phones on\ncampus, and whoever answers,\nwins a package of CITR goodies\nlive on the air.\nPay phones will soon be ringing unexpectedly on campus. The\nauthentic contest does not ask you\nto name the title of a song, or to\npick up your prize at CITR. Ifyou\nanswer a pay phone and CITR is\non the otherend of the line, you\nautomatically win, and CITR immediately presents you with your\nprize.

In the past, the course has\nbeen one hour a week for one academic semester.\nThis year, however, the course\nwill be stretched out over a full\nschool year to allow for new material designed to give engineering\nstudents a better understanding\nof issues facing Canadian society\ntoday.\n\"The course used to be for one\nterm, now it's two,\" said Dr Axel\nMeisen, dean of Applied Science.\n\"The second term is the same as\nthe old course, an introduction into\nthe various engineering disciplines. The first term uses guest\nlecturers to address the broader\nissues faced by engineers in society.\"\nTopics to be discussed include\nthe social impact ofthe Mackenzie\nValley pipeline, first nationissues,\nmulticulturalism, gender and\nsexual harassment issues and engineering ethics and professionalism.\nMeisen said that last spring's\nissue ofthe nEUSlettre, which offended natives and other minorities, was a factor in the course's\nspeedy inception into the faculty's\ncore curriculum.\n\"The publication of the\nnEUSlettre last March made it\nclear that these issues had to be\naddressed in a more structured\nway,\" Meisen said.\nThe Engineering Undergraduate Society agrees the course\nis necessary although they have\nhad no feedback from their members yet.\n\"It's a good idea and it is supported by the EUS but we don't\nknow how it's going so far because\nit just started,\" said EUS president Darren Sanders.\nStudents forced to look\noff campus for housing\nby E. Griffith\nLong waiting lists for residence are forcing many students\nto look for housing off campus.\nOne first year student looking\nat ads at the housing office said it\nwas especially hard for first-years\nto get into residence as preference\nis given to second year students.\nFirst year students applying\nto Totem Park and Place Vanier\ncan take only double rooms and it\nis first come first serve. \"It makes\nmore sense to go for off campus,\"\nhe continued. If forced to live off\ncampus he would not be able to\nquit his job during the school year\nas costs are much higher, he said.\nDirector of Housing Mary\nRisebrough said that accurate figures on how many people are waiting for housing are hard to find.\n\"All we know are the numbers\ncalled on the waiting list,\"\nRisebrough said. Everyone applying for on-campus housing in the\nfour single student's residences\ngoes on one big list which has remained close to 1100 women and\n1400 men since September 1.\nAs each residence gets a vacancy, numbers from the list are\ncalled. Each residence startsat#l.\nNumbers that have been called for\ndifferent residences vary enormously. As of September 18, 168\nwomen on the wai ting list had been\ncalled for Walter H. Gage residence, while the entire list has\nbeen called for women's shared\nrooms in Totem Park and double\nrooms are now available in other\nresidences.\nThe housing office has no way\nof knowing how many people have\nfound alternate housing but have\nnot notified Housing to have their\nnames taken off the list.\nBy comparing the total number of students who have applied\nthis year with previous years,\nRisebrough said that \"there's been\na slight drop in the number of\npeople applying for housing on\ncampus.\"\nA survey by the Graduate\nStudents' Society last summer\nsuggested that many students are\nchoosing to live off campus rather\nthan take their chances with the\nwaiting lists for residences.\nNearly 30 per cent of the\ngraduate students who completed\nthe survey listed the reason they\nlived off campus as \"can't get into\non-campus housing because the\nwaiting lists are too long.\"\nThere is no definite figure for\nundergraduates seeking housing\noff campus, but GSS external affairs director John Berges said the\nnumber is likely to be higher for\nundergraduates, since grad students may have less incentive to\nlive on campus, due to age, income,\nand marital status.\nRisebrough said the off-campus housing situation appears to\nbe better, although one can only\njudge by counting the number of\npeople who go to look at the off-\ncampus housing notice board.\nCanada Mortgage and Housing Commission said the city's\nvacancy rate was .9 per cent as of\nApril 1990, up from .5 per cent in\nApril 1989 and from October 1989\nwhen it was only .4 per cent.\nEven if the situation is improving, many are still unsatisfied. One grad student looking for\nhousing said in the four times he\nhas moved since he started at UBC\nit has gotten harder every year.

On Sept. 18 it was\njoined by the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA), which represents\nteachi ng, research and professional\nlibrary staff at all Ontario universities.\nOCUFA is calling for a reduction in tuition fees, and announced\na timetable for their abolition.\nOFS official Greg Elmer said\nOCUFA's announcement shows\nthat student lobbying against tuition fees has been successful.\n\"It's told people that students\naren't whiners, and they have responsible positions on issuesin the\n(post-secondary education) community,\" Elmer said.\nElmer said that OCUFA's announcement was well-timed, com-\ni ng just two weeks before Ontario's\nnew NDP government enters the\nprovincial legislature.\nAlthough Premier Bob Rae\ndidn't take a stand on post-secondary education issues during the\nrecent election campaign, the NDP\nhas as one of its long-term goals\nthe elimination of university tuition fees.\nOCUFA's policy statement\nalso called for the elimination of\nhigher fees for international students, an increase in aid for under-\nrepresented students such as natives and people with disabilities,\nan increase in living expenses\nprovided under Ontario's student\nloan system, and the elimination\nofthe cap on loans and grants.\nBut University of Toronto\nprofessor David Stager, the author of a 1989 Council of Ontario\nUniversities report recommending\nincreased tuition fees, says\nOCUFA's ideas are out of date.\n\"I think it's irresponsible in\nthe budgetary constraints of the\n1990s,\" Stager said. \"I'm disappointed in my colleagues as scholars. There isn't much hope for a\ndecrease in fees.\"\nOCUFA official Bob Kanduth\nsaid the proposed changes could\ntake up to eight years to implement, at a cost of $400 million.\nAnd, he added, Stager is the\none behind the times.\n\"He's more concerned with the\nbottom line. We want to talk about\npeople. He is looking at this from\nan economist's view.\"\nOne of OCUFA's main arguments is that high tuition fees serve\nas a deterrent to students, particularly those from disadvantaged\ngroups.\nBut social and cultural factors\nplay a much greater role in deterring non-traditional students,\nrather than high tuition fees, according to Stager.\nAnd, he said, it is inefficient to\neliminate tuition fees. Instead, he\nsuggested increasing fees for all\nstudents, while boosting aid for\nunderrepresented groups. The\npossible deterrentof increasedfees\ncould be offset by the creation of\nnew categories of student loans,\nStager said.\nKanduth disagreed, saying\nCanada had committed itself to\naccessible and free post-secondary\neducation by signing a United\nNations agreement in 1976.\nImplementing a minimum\ncorporate tax could make up the\nloss in tuition fees, Kanduth said.\nInsurers blame college over dental plan\nby Mark Nielsen\nThe insurance company that\nunderwrote the failed dental program for graduate students at UBC\nsaid its plans were frustrated by\nthe regulatory body for dentists in\nB.C.\nHerb Botkin, a director for\nBlue Cross of Canada in Toronto,\nsaid in a telephone interview on\nThursday that the College of\nDental Surgeons of B.C. \"brought\na lot of pressure to bear on the\ndentists who were participating in\nour program.\"\nAs a consequence, Botkin said\nthat Blue Cross felt it necessary to\ngive up on the program in order to\nkeep the dentists in question out of\njeopardy.\n\"The dental college basically\nsaid dentists can't participate in\nreturn for them to keep their licences,\" Botkin said.\nThe plan was cancelled earlier this week after Blue Cross informed the Graduate Student Society that it would not underwrite\nthe scheme.\nIf the plan had gone ahead, at\nleast 3,000 graduate students\nwould have had up to 80 per cent of\ntheir dental care costs covered by\nthe plan for an annual premium of\n$86.\nThe problems arose over attempts to establish a list of \"preferred dentists\" who would reduce\ntheir fees to correspond with the\namount of coverage the plan provides.\nBotkin said it is common for\ndentists to set their fee levels lower\nthan the rates recommended by\nthe dental college.\n\"Thousands in B.C. must be\ngetting dentist care for lesser fees\nthan what are set out by the dental\ncollege, so why are they excluding\nthese people from the same sort of\naccess?\" Botkin said.\nAs well, Botkin said that Blue\nCross was trying to expand the list\nfrom two dentists through a mail-\nout program that would cover every dentist within ten kilometres\nof Vancouver.\nHowever, the college's director of member services, Dr. Don\nLauriente, said the plan would remain unacceptable because some\npatients would still be excluded\nfrom similar fee levels.\n\"You have to try to predicate\nthe fee on the service and not on\nthe financial reasons,\" he said. \"As\nlong as you treat everybody who\ncomes into the office the same,\nthen that's okay, but that's not\nwhat's happening.\"\nNonetheless, Lauriente said\nhe's not surprised that Blue Cross\nis blaming the college for the failure.\n\"I think you should expect\nthat,\" Lauriente said. \"No one is\ngoing to blame themselves and if\nthey want to blame me, well, I've\ngot broad shoulders and I don't\nmind if it makes them feel better.\n\"The point is to get a better\nprogram.\"\nLauriente added that the college recognizes that students are\none group that needs a dental plan,\nbut said better ones than the one\noffered through the GSS are available.\nSeptember 21,1990\nTHE UBYSSEY/13 \f\Ok l\vC\Q **0\u00C2\u00A3^ Offer to students\nO^^, <_\u00C2\u00BB \u00C2\u00A3.

Reality is in eternal\nlock-step with itself.\nA wise old man once told me that the way to\ngrasp the true nature ofa subject is to examine both\nits positive and negative aspects. Until very recently I thought this only applied to matters of\nglobal importance and philosophical exams, and\nthen I saw the light. The light was softly glowing\nsalt and pepper snow, throbbing gently out of my\ntelevision set at four in the morning.\nLaying it on the line, television is the requisite\nother half to university. More than a diversion, it is\nthe antidote to school's dote, the yin to coursework's\nyang. Sure the one can exist divorced from its soul-\nmate, but neither is complete.\nSurely I am not the first to note the similarities\nbetween the two, both university and television get\nstarted in the fall, full ofthe vim and vigour of youth,\ngo through a period of doldrums in the late winter\nmonths and then build up to a fever pitch in time for\nthe end of the season/term. Summer rolls around\nand it's time for a much needed vacation until next\nfall.\nMany people have tried to discredit the wisdom\nfound in our cathode ray teacher, but like the guy in\ntomato sauce commercial says, \"It's in there.\"\nSociology?

Everything\nI ever really needed\nto know I learned from Fred and Wilma Flintstone.\nPhilosophy? Many is the night I have stayed up\npondering whether the Jetsons are modernist or\npost-modernist. Physics? How many of you have\nbeen stopped in your tracks by the daunting task of\nhooking up a VCR to your TV with a cable converter\nand a pay-TV decoder box attached? Pharmacology?\nWhat do you think they're doing on Miami Vice\nanyways? Medicine? Law? Come on students look\nalive the examples are thick and furious - anyone\nwho can't name three examples for each has no\nbusiness being in an institution of higher learning.\nOne ofthe few things that makes going back to\nschool even the least bit palatable is the promise\nthat soon, oh so very soon, the new season will begin.\nYou come home from the library, weary, your mind\nclouded by too many hours doing too much work and\nyour cable enhanced buddy is waiting - just for you!\nThwak on that dial, curl into fetal position and a\ndelicious mix of old and new friends wash over you\nlike a warm bath - or something very much like that.\nWhat do our friends in the programming offices\nhave in store for us this year? As always, a heady\ncollage of something old, something new, something\nborrowed, and something blue. But mostly something borrowed.\nBurning a hole in my TV Guide is Gabriel's Fire\n(ABC) starring James Earl Jones, quite simply one\nofthe finest living actors anywhere in the world. He\nspeaks in that rumbling basso profundo and I just\nmelt. Jones plays a former police officer who killed\nhis partner in the 60's amid some pretty complicated\nskullduggery. After spending twenty years in prison,\na young hot-shot defence attorney reopens his case\nwithout asking him, and he gets freed on a technicality.\nFREESTYLE\nGabriel, a defrocked cop, has trouble coping\nwith life on the outside. Heller, the beautiful, blonde,\nand fantastically successful defense attorney, feels\nguilty for springing a con who admits he's guilty\nand only wants to be left alone takes him on as an\ninvestigator. Presto, a series is born.\nGabriel's Fire runs on ABC Thursday nights at\n9:00 so tune in and learn something. Criminology\n101 is open for business. Go on, it's good for you.\nSpeaking of Thursday night, and who doesn't,\nthere's all-manner of network nuggets up for grabs.\nThe Cosby Show is still hanging in there representing the course in Life on Other Worlds CHEM 247;\nhowever, this year its running up against Flash:\nThe Fastest Man Alive (Phys Ed?), and of course,\nThe Simpsons which is a required course for a\ndegree in Marxist political theory.\nIn just a few short months Bart Simpson has\nbeen completely co-opted by the ruling class to the\npoint that every street hustler in New York is\nselling home silk-screenedT-shirts ofAIR SIMPSON\nand supermarket tabloids boast headlines along\nthe lines of \"I had Homer Simpson's love child!\"\nWhat happened here? Last year the Simpsons\nwere a cool, underground cult-ish hit which mirrored our growing disillusionment with the saccharine-sweet taste of TV families that haven't changed\none wit since Marcia and Greg Brady were in\ndiapers. Suddenly the great arbiters of taste decided\nthe Simpsons were \"The Next Big Thing\" and the\nnext thing you know\nany self-respecting\nhepcat wouldn't be\ncaught dead in an a\n\"Bar-man\" T-shirt.\nBabes is the latest entrant in the Fox network's quest to come up\nwith the most tasteless show in the history of the\nmedium.

You wonder why\nnobody thought of this premise for a sit-com ages\nago. And then again, they probably did.\nMade for TV movies have been receiving quite\na lot of publicity lately, what with Twin Peaks et al.\nBut let's face it, there are only two different kinds.\nThe first is the disease of the week wherein a\nbeautiful, successful career woman gets stricken\nwith some polysyllabic tongue-twister of an illness\nand gamely struggles on for ninety minutes more.\nThe second kind of made for TV movie is the\ntabloid sleaze expose, and a fine example is up for\nviewing this week with Leona Helmsley: The Queen\nof Mean. Suzanne Pleshette cops top billing as the\nWitch of Rich (or something like that). With a title\nlike this who can resist? And what's more it offers\na great cross-over study aid for Economics and\nCommerce students.\nOne important rule to keep in mind is that\nthere is no such thing as bad television, only poorly\napportioned viewing time. There's so much time\nand so little to be seen. Don't be discouraged by bad\ngrades in your courses, the networks never flunk\nyou .Just keep a fresh bowl of popcorn at your elbow\nand the remote control close at hand and the\nnarcoleptic stupor of a TV junkie is only an \"on\"\nswitch away.\nYou are students, ifyou don't waste time now,\nwhen will you have the chance?

Looking for\nsome good music right\nhere on campus? Have\nfaith, because every Friday from 8pm to midnight,\nEugene Ripper's Fast Folk\nUnderground returns to\nthe Fireside Lounge to\nimpress you all with its\nunique menu of folk rock.\nThe Graduate Students' Society has been\nmanaging the entertainment at the Fireside\nLounge for some time, and\nhas this year decided for a <\u00E2\u0096\u00A0-\nslight shift in focus.\nGSS program direc- $>\ntor JeffMatthews said \"We\nused to have jazz and occasionally some classical,\nbut that didn't seem to\ndraw in people.\" Now,\nwith the Fast Folk series, Eugene\n\"we hope to fill the place every\nnight,\" Matthews said.\nIf last Friday was any indication, Fast Folk will certainly draw\nlarge crowds. Roots Round Up\nplayed to a full house with their\nacoustic combo of accordion, bass,\nviolin, and guitar, leading one\nhappy patron to claim, \"It was like\ncoming home for a beer.\" Apparently the queue to get in was the\nlongest ever in the Fireside's history.\nRipper\nFormed by Eugene Ripper four\nyears ago in Toronto, Fast Folk\nUnderground organized local talent in an informal atmosphere that\nwas lighter than the club scene\nand provided the musicians with\nsome exposure. The Underground\nhas been described as a \"laid back\nroots hootenannyrockin', drinkin',\nacoustic ethno', rhythm and song\nthing.\" Ripper called it \"redefining folk,\" as the styles encompass\nrock-a-billy, blues, and beatnik folk\nin a light, enjoyable atmosphere.\nThis Friday's features\nBruce Jay Paskow from the\nWashington Squares, agroup\nfrom Seattle that is ^;he hip-\npest band in the world,\" according to Matthews. Next\nweek's show will be Ripper's\nown band, Dead Head Cool,\nwho will present \"scandalous\nsongs about love, death,\ntreachery and trains.\" They\nhave been playing together\nfor the past six months, and\nhave opened for Dread Zeppelin and the Hard Rock\nMiners.\nAccompanied by the recent change in management,\nFast Folk Underground is\nbringing about some positive\nchanges to the Fireside. So, if\nyou're looking for some \"foot-\nstomping down home, funkin' fun\"\non a Friday night, grab a friend\nand check it out. Like Matthews\nsays, \"Now we've got some good\nlive music right here in our back\ndoor.\"\nFilmsoc ushers in a new sound\nBy Matthew Johnson\nAfter a year of planning, discussion, and deliberation, the SUB\nauditorium, at last, has a new\nsound system.\nThe final successful sound test\nfor the new equipment was on\nWednesday.\nFilm Society chairperson\nMichael Gazetas said \"the old\nsystem.it was justawful. Ifyou sat\nin the back you couldn't hear\nanything.\"\nThe new $20,000 dollar sound\nsystem\u00E2\u0080\u0094 paid for exclusively with\nFilm Society funds\u00E2\u0080\u0094includes two\nhigh quality speakers, power amps,\na mixing board, and other miscellaneous audio equipment.\n\"It's a top ofthe line system,\"\nsaid Gazetas.\nThe system's main feature is\nthat the speakers have power\ndriven amps designed to be played\nat loud volume for continuous use.\nThey have specific requirements\nso that each and every seat in the\nhouse gets an average sound of 95\ndecibels, with 110 decibel peaks.\nThis means every seat in the house\ngets pretty much equal sound,\nGazetas said.\nGetting the system has been a\nlengthy process. After making a\ncommitment to improve the sound\nsystem last year, the Film Society\npaid $5,000 to have Western Sound\nLtd. do an autosound computer\ndrawing of the auditorium's\nacoustics and prepare a report\nbased on the drawings and other\nacoustical tests. The AMS agreed\nto listen to the report's recommendations and then decide on\nwhat action to take.\nThe report said sound absorption materials needed to be\ninstalled in the roof, back, and side\nwalls of the auditorium. An\nagreement was made that if the\nFilm Society paid for the sound\nsystem, the AMS would install the\nsound panels. According to\nGazetas, the AMS has so far paid\nto fix the sides ofthe building and\ninstall sound absorption panels.\nLast year's president, Frank\nBarrieau, did the legwork. He got\nthe reports made, wrote up all of\nthe proposals, and ensured that\nthe speakers were bought.\n\"One attractive feature ofthe\nspeakers is that they have a 5 yr.\nservice warranty, and a 24 hour\nemergency hotline so that if the\nspeakers blew and we had a show\nthat night, they would install new\nreplacement speakers to get the\nshow up and rolling that night,\"\nsaid Gazetas.\nThe sound system and auditorium are available for booking by\nany club. For the privilege of extensive booking, the Film Society\npays an annual fee of $5,500 dollars.\nThe Film Society is working\non proposals to fix the theatre even\nmore, primarily by getting a new\nscreen and projectors, said\nGazetas. This would be funded by\npart of the $2.50 admission the\nFilm Society charges for ite films.\nThe Film Society shows cult,\nclassic, alternative, and second-\nrun films in the SUB auditorium\non Monday, Wednesday and Sunday nights. In order to see the\nWednesday night Cinema 16\nshows, a $2 annual membership is\nrequiredby B.C. Federation of Film\nSocieties regulations.\nThe Film Soc has 100 returning members, and all of the projectionists, ushers, and ticket\nsalespersons are volunteers. The\nmembers of the society are dedicated to reinvesting ticket sales\nback to the theatre, UBC students,\nand Film Society members.\n\"We do it because we love it,\"\nGazetas said.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 BEST DJS\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 BEST PRICE\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 BEST PARTIES\n5 - 2000 PEOPLE\nSTUDENT RATES!\n250-3492\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 FREE PRIZES\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 FREE POSTERS\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 LIGHTS\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 YOU CHOOSE THE\nMUSIC, WE'LL PLAY IT\nTUESDAY NIGHT\n\"STUDY\" SESSIONS\nfljj Eight Free McFogg Burgers with Student Card.*\n!\u00C2\u00AE\u00C2\u00AE| Student Party Headquarters for Intramurals,\n\LjJ Clubs, Floor Mixes, Fraternities & Sororities.\nO$2.50 Tuesday!

Laying\naside Kurt's article, I wish to\naddress the underlying attitudes and principles that are\nin operation here. Moral frenzy\ncan be a dangerous vehicle by\nwhich to create social change.\nThe press has considerable\npower to move public opinion\nand therefore, with this power,\nthere needs to be a genuine\nattempt to temper one's own\nprejudices and motives, with\nthe concern for the highest\ngood. I feel that the true extent of the power of the press\nhas been felt on campus. The\neditorial in the Sept 7th issue\nof The Ubyssey, has aborted\nthe natural process of dialogue,\nthat could have culminated in\na better understanding as to\nthe concerns some people had,\n(that the article was sexist in\nnature), and rationally clarified the situation. Imagine,\nactive unbiased discussions\ngoing back and forth in The\nUbyssey. Or, how about an\narticle written that modeled a\nnon-sexist way to meet people,\nfor those who really are having\na hard time, through lack of\nsocial skills or shyness.\nThe reality is that it is difficult to get students involved,\ngood marks rank higher in\nvalue than discussions on social reform. Therefore, creating a frenzied reaction, through\nsomewhat misguided or malicious means, gets students\nparticipating. But, the energy\nis now projected at ousting\nKurt, as if that would really\nsolve the problems of sexual\ninequality. It gratifies our desire for blood, but in the long\nrun it only serves as an example of the miscommunica-\ntion and misunderstanding\nthat exists between the sexes\nand the disrespect of another\nperson's point of view. These\nare some of the foundations of\nour problems.\nThe question I feel which\nneeds to be addressed is,\nwhether the means can justify\nthe ends. We live in an highly\npolarized province. The attack\nmode of behaviour seems the\nnorm here, but I feel that because it is norm does not make\nit right. We do have the choice\nto operate from either the lowest common denominator mode,\nor work to create another way.\nThe alternative could possibly\nbe a more embracing mode,\nwhereby, we accept diversity,\ntolerance and let good will motivate our thinking, and in turn\nour behaviour. We need more\nthan ever to communicate with\neach other, to clarify and understand our differences, and\ncelebrate our common humanity.\nI am saddened that the\neditors of The Ubyssey chose\nthe easiest way out, and in the\nprocess made a healthy, objective dialogue with regards to\nKurt's article in The Province\nnearly impossible.\nAlbert Einstein so elo\nquently put it:\n\"The world we have made\nas a result of the level of\nthinking we have done thus far\ncreates problems that cannot\nbe solved at the same level at\nwhich we created them.\"\nWe all have within us the\npower to destroy or create. I\nthink we need to get away from\nthe destructive, hateful modes\nof thinking that emulates the\nviolation of personage, which\nis the foundation of sexism.\nUnfortunately, this way of\nthinking and behaving comes\nso easily to us.

I live at Gage Residence, and I was supposed to\nget a phone hooked up today.\nThus, I ran down to London\nDrugs, bought myself a nice\nred phone, and plugged it in to\nmy jack. But the phone didnt\nwork. The BCTel operator told\nme that I would have to wait at\nleast two months for my phone\nconnection. When I asked her\nthat burning question \"Why?\"\nshe said something to the extent of There are not enough\noutlets at UBC to hook up all\nthe phones there.\" So now IVe\ngiven everyone a phone number\nthat doesn't exist. I also don't\nhave my own phone line. What\nnext?\nCable. My quad is paying\nfar cable, and yet we have none.\nI don't mind the news programs,\nbut The Pacts of life reruns are\nreally getting to me.\nAnd parking. I, personally,\ndon't own a car, but I know\nmany Gage residents who have\nto park their cars in B Lot,\nbecause there are no more\nparking spaces left at Gage.\nHow would you like to park\nabout three blocks from your\nhouse?\nWhat is happening here?\nDid someone put a curse on\nGage? It appears as though the\norJythingthatGage'sincreased\nrenthas brought us is increased\nproblems.\nSophia Harris\nArt*2\nPromote antidiscrimination\nI was not surprised when I\nheard about the racist, homophobic\nparodies of different fraternity\nads. I had been previously warned\nthat UBC might be plagued with a\nnumber of \"redneck racist\" incidents this year. If certain individuals wish to continue with their\ninfantile, destructive acts, those\nwho warned me are right, no one\ncan stop them. What we can do is\nuse their antics to create even more\nawareness of discrimination.\nI hope the Inter-Fraternity\nCouncil, which has been victimized\nby this incident, will recognize the\nnecessity of actively promoting\nanti-discrimination. When the\n\"Keeping Discrimination Out of\nYour Organization\" campaign begins, I hope every club, faculty\nsociety, and service organization\nwill give it priority.\nTo the \"rowdy redneck and\nproud of it\" types, thank you for\ngiving me a great opportunity to\npromote my campaigns and to\nmake anti-discrimination an important issue on campus.\nCarol Hui\nAMS Anti-Discrimination\nCoordinator\nRight of expression\nKurt Preinsperg has for many\nyears shared his thoughts publicly\nthrough various campus and off-\ncampus newspapers. No one\nshould have thought he would\nchange his behaviour simply because he was elected AMS President. His submission to the Province newspaper was not a part of\nany duty as AMS President. As he\nhas stated, the piece was signed\n\"Kurt Preinsperg - Philosophy\nGrad Student\"; he was, however,\ncorrectly identified as the AMS\nPresident. Now, a prudent public\nrelations consultant might have\nadvised Kurt not to submit this\npiece for the reason that it does not\njibe with a slick marketing package\nwhere the lack of real opinion is\nthe salient feature, but this is not\nKurt's style. He wants people to\nsee him for what he is. While\nmany may disagree with his views,\nhis opinions are carefully thought\nthrough and not frivolous.\nThe bulk of criticism (and pernicious abuse) directed towards\nKurt appears to be more concerned\nwith his right to expression rather\nthan the content ofhis views. His\ncrime in these people's minds is\nthat he has shared his ideas with\nthe public. The Ubyssey even\ngriped that he has taken full advantage of their policy on printing\nletters (did someone make writing\ntoo many letters a punishable offense?). In personal discussions it\nhas also become apparent that\nsome of Kurt's detractors on this\nissue have not even read the piece\nin question; this is abhorrent.\nWhether or not you voted in\nthe last AMS election you participated in the political process, and\nifyou did not care enough to vote\nperhaps you should not care how\nyour are represented. After all, no\none is going to assume your ideas\nare exactly congruent with Kurt's\nsimply because he is president of\nthe student society.\nFor those of your who did vote\nin January, you will recall that\nKurt was democratically elected\nby the student body. One of the\ncomplaints heard is that Kurt's\nideas are not representative ofthe\nstudent body. This demonstrates\na complete misunderstanding of\nthe political process. Candidates\nfor political representative hold\ncertain views and opinions and it\nis the duty ofthe electorate to find\nout just what those are. After\ngetting elected those views and\nopinions do not change miraculously to exactly reflect the aggregate views of the whole student\nbody; they remain the same. There\nare always people who will totally\ndisagree with a representative's\nviews and most people will disagree\nat least on a few points. Kurt\ncertainly did not misrepresent\nhimself. As the two-page spread of\nletters in the recent The Ubyssey\nshows, Kurt's views on the subject\nof relationships was well-known,\nnot to mention his positions on\ntuition, access to education, freedom of expression and many other\nimportant issues.\nAs for the piece entitled \"31\nHints to Get You Off To A Better\nStart With The Woman Of Your\nChoice\" we have each read the\nProvince version and the original\nand find it to be completely innocuous. While some ofthe advice\nmay appear corny or contrived,\nthere are no devious methods detailed here. Deception is spurned\nin favour of honesty. Most of the\npieces of advice could be just as\neasily given to a woman lookingfor\na man or for that matter to anybody\nlooking for companionship or\nfriendship. What seems to raise\nthe most ire in Kurt's detractors is\nthat he admits sex is a part of a\nloving relationship. He never\nstates that sex is the sole object or\nthe drivingforcebehindarelation-\nship, he simply confronts the subject.\nKurf s views may have genuinely upset some people. This\nshouldnotbe trivialized. However,\nthose who are genuinely concerned\nshould not allow themselves to be\nwhipped into a frenzied mob by\nthose whoarepoliticallymotivated.\nPerhaps a referendum on Kurf s\nleadership is necessary to quell\nthose who will not be quiet until\nsomeone else is AMS President.\nWhen these detractors are unsuccessful, Kurt and the rest of the\nAMS Executive can move on to\nmore pressing issues.\nWendy King and Brian Taylor\nArts 4\nSenate Representatives\nEnviro-coffee drinking advocated\nOne of the solutions to our\nenvironmental pollution problems\nis a change of attitude. The UBC\nFood Services has a great opportunity to make a contribution to reducing styrofoam waste on campus. There is a new sign at the\nvarious cafeterias stating that coffee in your own mug, any size, is 70\ncents, however, coffee in the UBC\nmugs is less expensive, and worse\nstill, small coffee in a styrofoam\ncup is the least expensive. Why\nnot institute a pricing policy which\nestablishes areasonably profitable\nbase price for 6 ounces of coffee,\nand, then charge an additional fee\nfor those who wish to use a\nstyrofoam cup. This process rewards, monetarily, those conscious\nof our impact on the environment.\nThe additional fee (perhaps 10 or\n20 cents) could go towards the expense ofthe cups themselves and\nthe cost to recycle them (assuming\nthey are recyclable). An incidental\nside effect of this system would be\nthe elimination of the \"myriad of\nmeaningless choices\" one is presented with in pursuit of a cup of\ncoffee.\nSue Pashak\nArts 2\nIntramurals:\nGST or fee hikes\nHas everyone checked the\nsmall print in the Intramural\nSports guide? That dreaded 7%\nGST is already threatening our\nwallets for next year. The Pilcher\nspecial events program sees GST\non all five events for 1991. I suppose this must be the reason the\norganisers give for the fee hikes on\nthe events. Take the Triathlon for\nexample, up to $42.80 from $35\nlast year, sound like 7% to you?\nNo, you are right! It's a lot more\nthan that, but I suppose we don't\nrealise the overheads involved in\nputting on fin event like this.\n(That's probably why the non student entrants are being asked to\npay $53.50!). With a limited entrant number of nearly 1000 competitors each paying between $40\nto $50 a piece\u00E2\u0080\u0094that's close to\n$50,000 to put on a single event. It\nsure seems like a lot to me!

The problem is, it is being circulated\nby members ofthe executive.\nI don't feel it is the executive's\nposition to be asking for the\nrecall of an officer.

Here at UBC, AMS\nPresident Kurt Preinsperg\nis called to task for writing a\nsomewhat dubious article in\nthe Vancouver Province. One\nwould think, hell, after all\nthis, politicians would perhaps tread a little softer.\nGood luck.\nOn May 9 of this year,\nAMS Director of Finance\nJohn Lipscomb voted'in\nfavour of a Student Council\nmotion to designate the\nGlobal Development Centre\na service organization. This\nmotion, passed by a vote of\n12 to 6 (and thus barely\nsatisfying the requirement\nthat 2/3 of council vote in\nfavour), allowed the G.D.C.\ncertain privileges not afforded to other clubs - they\nwere allocated their own\nprivate office, given ahigher\nprofile on campus than other\nclubs, etc..

While the letter\nfocused on the recent controversy\nsurrounding Kurt and his Province article, there were a few ideas\nexpressed concerning the inadequacy ofthe ten-cent refunds for\nreusing plastic cups at the AMS\nbarbecue that I would like to clear\nup.\nFirst of all, the barbecue\nwould have been a complete environmental disaster if it weren't\nfor some initiatives taken up by\nyour AMS Finance Co-Ordinator,\nJohn Lipscomb. Sometime in July,\nJohn asked the rest ofthe student\nexecutive\u00E2\u0080\u0094Kurt, Roma, Johanna,\nand Jason\u00E2\u0080\u0094whether they would\nagree to having the StudentEnvi-\nronment Centre consulted about\nmaking the barbecue a less environmentally destructive event.\nThey rejected the idea, claiming\nthere'd be too many logistical\nproblems and confusions.\nJohn refused to authorize\nfunding for the barbecue\ndisposables. So, there was a student council motion \"that the AMS\ngo ahead with the 7th Welcome\nBack BBQ using disposable Tuff-\ncups and napkins\" with an attached note stating that the motion was \"required to authorize\nthe funding of the BBQ. For\nethical reasons the AMS Director\nof Finance is unable to authorize\nfunding for an event which uses\ndisposables.\" The motion was\ncarried by the student reps on\ncouncil.\nMeanwhile, in a last-ditch attempt to make the barbecue less\nwasteful and garbage-producing,\nJohn organized volunteers to work\nat the beer stalls, encourage people\nto reuse their Tuff-cups, and give\nten cents to everyone who brought\nback their cup for a refill. Being\nan environmentalist (one of the\nonly authentic ones I know), he\nrealized that this wasn't much of\na solution, but it was better than\ndoing nothing at all. Many students were glad to see the AMS\n(actually one member ofthe AMS)\ntaking at least a small step towards being more environmentally responsible.\nBecause ofthe efforts of a few\nconscientious people who care\nabout the environment, 3000 Tuff-\ncups were saved from being used.\nMany students who came up to\nthe beer stalls and were told about\nthe ten-cent deal were pretty perplexed about reusing their cups;\nobviously, they'd never done it\nbefore. So while no environmentalist would call this anything\nclose to a \"solution\", at least the\nten-cent scheme sent out a message that got people thinking and\ndoing a little bit\u00E2\u0080\u0094not really doing\nanything good for the environment, but making the effects of\nthe AMS barbecue less bad.\nSabrina Hong\nArts 4\n&^M^\nAt Coopers (_*\u00C2\u00B0 Lybrand,\nwe've created an\nenvironment that will\nbring out \our skill,\nimagination and your\nspirit of adventure.\nWhy not experience\neverything we have to\n<\n<\n0\nTalk to us about\niv enhancing your career\nopportunities with a\nP-* CA designation.

Because advertising is illegal for dentists in B.C., the dentists were forced to\ncomply or risk disciplinary proceedings. Since the plan relied on the establishment of preferred\nclinics, and since it was impossible for the GSS to consider keeping the information from students,\nthe insurer of the plan, Blue Cross, was unable to continue the plan.\nRefunds, Library Cards\nWe deeply regret the inconvenience to students who were anticipating using the plan. Students who\nhave paid the dental plan fee will receive refunds as soon as the GSS can make arrangements with\nUBC Financial Services for the issue of cheques. As of Monday, September 17th, there is no further\nGSS restriction on issue of Ubrary cards.\nBecause the exact circumstances leading to the cancellation are complex, students wishing a further\nexplanation are advised to contact John Berges, Suzanne Young or Robert Clift, the Graduate Student\nSociety, 228-3203, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, Monday - Friday.\nSeptember 21,1990\nTHE UBYSSEY/19 H\nv*..\nNEWS\n^\n-\u00C2\u00BB<\nBanner boys slapped with sanctions\nby Patchen Barss\nWOLFVILLE, N.S. (CUP)\nAcadia University has slapped\nsanctions on the four men responsible for hanging a homophobic\nbanner outside a campus residence\nlast March.\nThe banner, declaring a floor\nof the residence to be \"fag free,\"\nappeared a day after Acadia's student newspaper, The Athenaeum,\npublished an eight-page gay and\nlesbian supplement.\nAt the time, the floor's residence assistant said \"(the banner)\nresulted from our general anger at\nreadi ng the Athenaeumlast night.\"\nThe residence assistant later\nresigned from his job and is no\nlonger allowed to live on campus.\nBoth he and the three other students are on disciplinary probation.\nNone have been identified.\nThe students are also required\nto develop and present an outline\nfor an educational program concerning homophobia.\nIn a letter to the university\ncommunity last week, Acadia\nPresident J.R.C. Perkin called the\nbanner \"deeply offensive to many\nmembers of the community.\"\nPerkin said he fully supports the\nsanctions and hopes students \"have\nall gained new insights and sensitivities as a result ofthe incident.\"\nThe university's sexual harassment committee also released\nAnti-semitic\nnamesake\ndropped\nTORONTO (CUP)\nThe name of Canada's first\nwoman lawyer has been removed\nfrom workshops sponsored by a\nUniversity ofToronto law association, following charges that she\nwas anti-Semitic.\nThe U of Ts Women in Law\nAssociation removed the name of\nClara Brett Martin after the recent discovery ofa letter she wrote\nto the Attorney General of Ontario\nin 1915.\nIn the letter, she refers to the\n40,000 Jewish people in Toronto\nas \"those Jews\" and alleges they\nwere involved in unethical legal\nactivities. She also refers to the\nwork of Jewish lawyers as the\n\"scandalous work of foreigners.\"\nThe Clara Brett Martin\nWorkshops have been renamed the\nWomen in Law Workshops. Martin, a former U of T student, became the first woman in the Bri ti sh\nCommonwealth to be admitted to\nthe bar in 1897.\nSome members ofthe student-\nrun law association say the letter\nis anti-Semitic and agree with the\ndecision to change the name.\n\"I don't think Martin should\ndisappear from law books but\nwhether we want to deify her is\nwhat we're grappling with,\" said\nLeslie Midzain, a U of T law student.\nBut some feel Martin's accomplishments shouldn't be overshadowed.\n\"The evidence of anti-\nSemitism is a matter for concern\na statement, saying the \"baggage\"\nor prejudices many people bring to\nuniversity make the elimination of\nsexual harassment \"a tremendous\nchallenge.\"\n\"This incident, which may have\nbeen more thoughtless (although\nno less culpable) than malicious,\nindicated that Acadia is no more\nimmune to demonstrations-of intolerance than other parts of society,\" the committee said.\nAcadia student council presi\ndent Steve Machat said he too supports the sanctions but hopes that\nif such incidents recur, \"they'll get\na little tougher.\"\nMachat said the controversy\nforced both the university and the\nstudents' union to \"enter new\nterritory.\"\nThe student council is now discussing the formation ofa student\nrights committee, which would\nhave a mandate to act on behalf of\nstudents who are persecuted or\ndiscriminated against.\nbut it took a lot of courage and\nlobbying by women like Martin\nfor women to get to this stage,\"\nsaid Denise Reaume, an associate\nlaw professor.\n\"We should still acknowledge\nthat she made a significant contribution. It would be a shame if\nwe can't refer to her because she\nwas anti-Semitic.\"\nBrindley Evans, a law student and association member, said\nshe understands why the name\nwas changed but hopes the same\ncriteria will be used to judge men\nand their accomplishments.\n\"Sexism isn't taken as seriously as racism,\" she said.\n\"It's unfair that women's history should be swept under the\ncarpet when so many sexist men\ncontinue to be glorified. If Martin's\npast is to be dredged up, then men\nshould be given the same treatment. There should be a general\nsearch into racism and sexism and\nWomen in Law is trying to take\nthis on as a project,\" she said.\nUniversity official Glen Loney\nagreed.\nHe cited Sir Daniel Wilson,\nwhose name graces a co-ed residence on campus, as an example.\nWilson publicly opposed allowing\nwomen into the university.\n\"If people were willing to take\noff the names of all sexist or anti-\nSemitic people, you'd have a lot of\nnaked buildings,\" he said.\n\"Howling after one person\nwhose attitudes were improper\nby current standards overshadows\na lot of good things they did. It's\nslightly out of proportion,\" he said.\nERIC EGGERTSON PHOTO\nOver 10,000 waiting to enter education system\nVANCOUVER (CUP)\nOver ten thousand students\nhave been turned away from\nBritish Columbia colleges and\nuniversities this month according\nto a study by the Pacific Region of\nthe Canadian Federation of Students.\nCFS Pacific Region chair\nBrad Lavigne said \"ten thousand\nturn aways is a conservative estimate. These are people on\nwaiting lists. The number doesn't\neven address the people who\ncalled up and were scared off when\ntold there were no spaces available.\"\nAccording to their latest figures, the CFS could document\nthat nearly ten thousand would-\nbe-students had been placed on\nwaiting lists already. After final\nnumbers are released later this\nmonth by registrars, there will\nbe \"over ten thousand\" waiting\nwould-be-students, Levigne said.\n\"This is the first time that\nthe Pacific Region of CFS has\nattempted to document turn\naways and waiting lists and the\nnumbers that we're seeing only\nreinforce the students' call on\nthe government to adequately\nfund post-secondary education in\nthis province,\" he said.\nThe study, based on information from registrars, reports\nfrom students and student government surveys, is full of ho_ror\nstories.\nOne example given was\nCariboo College in Kamloops\nwhere the waiting of students\ntrying to get any courses at all is\ntwo inches thick. Student ser\nvices such as tutoring, have been\nforced to leave campus by classroom needs.\nAccording to the study, fifteen per cent of the student\npopulation at Selkirk College in\nCastlegar is on waiting lists.\nAt Capilano College in North\nVancouver, they are already issuing applications to enter the college in September 1991.\nThe University of Victoria's\ntelephone registration system is\nso swamped with calls that the\ncity's phone lines are being\njammed. One Geography professor is using a raffle to limit the\nsize of his'class.\n1,000 students signed a petition at the Langara campus of\nVancouver Community College\nsaying that they had been unable\nto get any of the courses they\n. wanted. 2,500 students have been\nable to register for only one or two\nof the courses they needed, the\nreport said.\n\"This (provincial) government will have to move post-\nsecondary education to the top of\nthe agenda,\" Lavigne said. \"It will\ntake an overhaul of the funding\nsystem for post-secondary education in B.C. to alleviate these\nproblems.\"\nAdvanced education minister\nBruce Strachan said the provincial government was doing what\nit could to work on the problem.\n\"We have committed from the\nyear 1989 to 1995 $690 million in\nexpenditures to provide undergraduate spaces over and above\nnatural increases to 15,000 more\nstudents,\" Strachan said. \"We\nrecognize that there is a tremendous amount of pressure on our\ncolleges and universities and we\nare providing that space now.\"\nNDP opposition education\ncritic Barry Jones said \"It's traditional that there are a lot of talented young people that are unable to get into colleges and universities in B.C. and this year is\nno exception.\"\n\"There hasn't been an increase in institutional capacity,\"\nJones said \"Yes, there is building,\nbut its primarily to replace and\noverhaul aged facilities.\"\nHe said the province's Access\nfor All program was \"halfhearted\", as the planned 15,000\nnew spaces will only match the\nnatural enrollment growth of B.C.\nbased on population trends.\n\"They're just jamming more\nstudents into the same facilities\nwhen they should be building\nmore,\" he said.\n20 /THE UBYSSEY\nSeptember 21,1990"@en .
