The decision to strike came at a general meeting , of more than 200 delegates to the Front des Etudiants du Quebec held here last weekend. The FEQ is the provincial student union affiliated with the Confederation of National Trade Unions. Most universities and colleges in Quebec belong. The strike will protest the new regulations, termed the "nouveau regime pedagogique", as the latest move by the Quebec government toward complete control over the CEGEPS or community colleges. Delegates determined the strike would start before Dec. 1. The regulations require arts students to take several science and physical education courses along with their arts options. Many CEGEPS professors interpret this rule as a government attempt to phase out humanities departments within a few years. The regulations also compel students to attend 45 hours of classes weekly, automatically eliminating students who must work part-time to finance their education. The move contradicts the original aim of the CEGEP program which was to provide some post-secondary education to people who formerly could not afford it. Students from both French and English CEGEPS united in opposition to the regulations and called for mass support to demonstrate their displeasure. Members of the Anglophone delegation from Vanier, Dawson, John Abbott and McGill CEGEPS stood in the forefront of the demand for a general strike as soon as possible. The FEQ convention established continued liaison between the French and English junior colleges to maintain communication during the coming struggle. The Comite Executif National or executive committee was empowered to co-ordinate action among the various FEQ regions to ensure a solid front. A delegate from Sir George Williams University pointed out private educational institutions were subject to the same repression as the CEGEPS, and called for solidarity among students in colleges and universities. McGill University delegates called for close collaboration among all student and between students and faculty in the upcoming strike. The FEQ plans a mass demonstration in front of the offices of the Direction de L'Instruction Generale et Collegiale, the authority which issued the new regulations. 1,500 occupy MU building *v O5 # v^OCIATIONOr> CODE OF ETHICS m % r6 *J RADIO STATION University Radio & Television Sonetv ym?*mn.M£- Hi i member broabtastimj station of tbe Canadian lisacatwi of UroaocasterJ, tor plebge our*elbe* to tbe best of our m$? 1.

The student radio's management fired DJs Bob Bakshi and Stuart Foster allegedly because they don't. ^ *, £■-' ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CUP) — Nearly 1,500 students occupied the arts and administration building of Memorial University at 1 p.m. Tuesday, and the students say they will stay there until their demands are met. The students are protesting the unilateral decision by the university administration, to discontinue collecting compulsory student union fees for the union. The decision announced Thursday in a press release from president Lord Stephen Taylor, would effectively put an end to compulsory collection of fees, as the student union would have no means of enforcing their payment. The students say Taylor and the administration had no right to make this decision unilaterally and without any negotiation. They say students, not the administration, must make any decision as to whether student union membership would be voluntary or involuntary. Since the administration timed its announcement so that it was made on the first day of the five-day mid-term break, students had to wait until Tuesday before they could take fully constructive action. The first thing they did was to organize a general union meeting Tuesday noon. About 3,000 students showed up at that meeting — a remarkably large number for this usually apathetic campus of 7,500. At that meeting, a strong majority of the 3,000-plus were opposed to the administration, and though a very small minority of students expressed their opposition to the union and the decision to occupy the administration building, more than 1,000 students marched to the building to begin the occupation. The students occupied Taylor's office as well as the comptroller's and vice- presidents's offices, among others, and they waited for Taylor to return from a lecture he was giving engineering students. When he returned, he was flanked protectively by 15 to 20 engineers, who said that they were opposed to the council of students' union in its present form, and hence supported Lord Taylor. Taylor said he would allow the engineers in his office, and would talk with demonstrating students two at a time. They refused such an arrangement, and Taylor left the building. From there on, there was a series of proposals and counter-proposals, as administrators and student representatives tried to reach an agreement of a means of negotiating the whole affair. Taylor, who first would allow only two students in his office, See page 8: GEARS On air for laughs -VR jocks By LINDA HOSSIE Recently fired CYVR disc jockies Bob Bakshi and Stuart Foster say the point of the program which cost them their jobs was just to rant and rave and try to " get a good laugh." Both Bakshi and Foster were fired from the university radio for allegedly slandering the Alma Mater Society executive in one of their Saturday broadcasts. "I don't think we really gave too much thought to the fact that it was slander," Foster said in an interview Monday. "We were just sort of playing around." Foster said the part of the show that Clemens termed slanderous was a game invented called "Abuse the Executive." "I doubt if there were even ten people listening to us," Bakshi said. "Even Blankstein hadn't heard about it. We had to tell him," Foster said. Blankstein was one of the AMS executives under fire in the Saturday broadcast. Clemens said the station discovered the slander when they taped Bakshi and Foster two weeks in a row. He said the tapings are done so the DJ's can get an idea of how their show sounds and make improvements in their style. "If the first tapewasOK why did they tape us the second week? They were just waiting for us to make some kind of mistake," Bakshi said. "When they made the first tape they should have told us if anything was wrong with it." The two DJ's said they were never given any rules or boundaries about what they could say on the air. Neither of them knew about slander laws. "When Clemens threw us ouu it wasn't for slander. It was for bad taste," Bakshi said. "He said 'This is shit and we're losing listeners because of it." "Losing all two listeners," Foster added. "Clemens told us if he wanted to hear that kind of shit See page 3: CYVR Page 2 THE UBYSSEY Wednesday, November 15, 1972 Foreign control threatens future OTTAWA (CUP) — Canada's future is threatened unless the federal government ensures major industrial sectors of the economy are removed from the grasp of foreign-controlled corporations", a Science Council of Canada report says. The report, written by Pierre Bourgault, applied science dean at the University of Sherbrooke, says the government's failure to create a pro-Canadian industrial climate has accelerated the take-over of the economy. Foreign-owned industry has established itself in Canada's major industrial sectors — such as automobiles, pharmaceutical products and plastics and man-made fibres — using technology and products developed by their parent corporations. This foreign domination in the economy's key growth areas has blocked the development of the industrial base and technological knowledge Canada needs for the future, the report says. Such industrial skills are keys to the growth of innovative, high-technology industries which Canada needs to provide jobs and achieve greater economic independence. Bourgault attacked government policies offering investment "incentives" to corporations without preferential treatment for Canadian firms. The policies have led to an acceleration of foreign control in the economy. Release of the report last week came only two days after the U.S. commerce department announced the value of U.S.-owned business in Canada jumped by $1.24 billion to $24.03 billion in 1971. Such government programs as regional incentive grants have "encouraged a considerable amount of counter-productive investment in Canada in recent vears." "In our policies and in our programs aimed at industrial development, we seem to give more importance to capital, the plant, and the equipment than we do to development of the people who provide the knowledge inputs that make them run," the report says. "We have given large grants to multi-national corporations so that they may build factories that are little more than four walls and a roof, in which to house easily transportable production machines run by unskilled or semi-skilled production workers." Bourgault says this means the structure of Canadian industry must be radically altered over the next decade if Canada is to hold her own in world trade. Bourgault also says we must stop being "hewers of wood and drawers of water". Although exports of natural resources continues to soar, Canada's trade deficit in sophisticated products keeps growing. Canada has failed to develop the advanced materials and new technologies associated with our natural resources, again because of foreign control and imported technologies. "We are the world's largest producer of nickel, but we are net importers of stainless steel and manufactured nickle products, including 'cold climate' nickel-cadmium batteries Bourgault says. Similarly "we are the world's largest exporter of pulp and paper, but we import much of our fine paper and virtually all of the highly-sophisticated paper, such as backing for photographic film and dielectric papers for use in electronic components." The report says development of high-technology industry is vital because Canada can no longer count on the same growth previously enjoyed from mineral extraction. ATTENTIONALL SWINGERS. . .

The report, which was prepared by Carleton university professors Donald Smith, Sinclair Robinson, Robin Matthews and former student Joyce Wayne, claims that Canadian university French departments show inadequate interest in French Canada. "We need to see how accurate the report really is," Bongie said, "for example the report says UBC has only two courses in French-Canadian literature when we really have four." "The positions of the report are very simplistic," said Bongie. "A more serious study Indian unemployment off reserve seven times more than B.C. norm By LINDA HOSSIE Unemployment among B.C. status Indians living off the reserve is at least seven times higher than unemployment for B.C. as a whole. These findings, published recently by Manpower, are part of a larger study by UBC professors W. T. Stanbury and D. B. Fields and University of Victoria prof D. Stevenson. The study deals with Indian urbanization and unemployment and studies the effects of age, education, family size and other factors on Indian unemployment and income. The study was financed by a Donner Canadian Foundation grant. The study sample was "very large" Stanbury said. It included 1,095 B.C. status Indians living off the reserve. About half the sample had spent at least half their lives off the reserve and 78 per cent had lived off the reserve for at least 12 months Stanbury said. The unemployment figure was reached by including all persons unemployed and looking for work and all persons unemployed who indicated they were not looking for work. The official Monthly Labour Force Survey by Statistics Canada includes only those unemployed persons who are seeking work in its calculations of unemployment but this does not take into consideration the "discouraged worker" factor which is important in the Indian study Stanbury said. Discouraged workers are persons who have given up looking for work because of previous futile searches for employment. An unemployment rate not taking this factor into consideration is understated Stanbury said. The official B.C. unemployment rate during June, July and August of 1971 was 27 per cent. Stanbury's study, including discouraged workers, found the rate to be 46.5 per cent. "What it means is if you made unemployment bad enough (so everyone got "discouraged") you could reduce the unemployment rate to zero," Stanbury said. Stanbury stressed the fact that "for Indians who completed grade twelve the unemployment rate fell to 16 per cent." This drop wasn't significant until high school graduation he said. Stanbury also stressed the Indian problem in the university. "Almost no Indian students finish second year," he said. This is something UBC should be concerned about. It's the same case at UVic and the community colleges." The study of Indian income was organized around the question "regardless of level of income how many people were able to support themselves," during the period January 1969 to mid 1971. The term "support themselves" was defined as avoiding welfare. "We found that 28 per cent of the families in our sample were not self- supporting in even one month in the two and one-half year period upon which we obtained data and 24 per cent of the sample were self-supporting for the entire period," the report reads. In order to measure and describe the incidence of poverty among B.C. Indians the study defined a poverty line. They adopted the Senate poverty line even though it is somewhat above that of the Economic Council of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics — "particularly when families of more than five persons are considered." "It is interesting," the report reads "that a public opinion poll conducted during the course of the line adopted in the Senate investigations places the poverty line about 50 per cent above the Senate Report line." "Perhaps we could define the "hypocrisy gap," as the difference between Canadian social assistance payments and the amount sufficient to ensure that all Canadians achieve an income above the poverty line as indicated by the public opinion poll." Measuring income from employment only, 54 per cent of B.C. status Indians living off the reserve make under $2000,65 per cent make under $4000, only 13 per cent make over $18,000 and 35 per cent make nothing. Measuring income plus government transfer payments (welfare, family allowance, old age pensions and so on) 28 per cent make under $2000, 53 per cent make under $4000, and 14 per cent make over $8000. The figures for all of B.C. under the second category are 13 per cent of B.C.'s "economically active group," (population aged 16 to 65) make under $2000, 28 per cent make under $4000 and 44 per cent make over $8000. "These figures don't adjust for family size and Indians have, on the average, larger families," Stanbury said. "Some 36.2 per cent of persons who are or have been married report having five or more children, while 40.5 per cent report two or fewer children. The average number of children reported is slightly more than four. In addition 70 of the 402 single persons indicated they were parents of one or more children." "The conclusion we must reach is that the typical Indian adult has a significantly larger number of dependents to support with a very much smaller income from employment than is the case of non- Indians," the report reads. In Canada 25 per cent of the people were below the poverty line in 1969. For Indians the comparable figure was 63 per cent. This is two and one half times as high Stanbury said. The gap in education is being closed and Stanbury said he sees this as a sign that the Indians are making a move to improve their economical standing. "A lot of people are taking vocational training," he said. "Of our total sample of 1,095 we found that 385 persons of 35 per cent had taken a total of 599 special or vocational courses of various duration . . . Perhaps the most striking finding elicited from our questions about special coursess and vocational training is that 92 per cent of persons reported one or more courses stated that they had completed the course or are in the process of so doing," Stanbury wrote in the report. Stanbury became interested in the Indian economic situation through working with Fields on another study, "The Economic Impact of the Public Sector Upon the Indians of B.C.," which was contracted from the Department of Indian Affairs. This study "was being held up by Premier Bennett personally as I understand," Stanbury said. The study has now been published. of its recommendations is needed." The report claimed that Quebecois literature and civilization was generally ignored in Canadian university French departments or limited to honors students. Students taking French on a general program are taught a language which is exclusively international and are i'l prepared for any real contact with French-speaking Canadians. The report proposes 46 per cent of a university's French department be involved in French-Canadian studies. At present only the University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina and the bilingual University of Ottawa offer Quebecois studies to that extent. According to the report the present national average is 14 per cent, UBC's is eight per cent, and SFU's is 12 per cent. Gerard Tougas a UBC professor who supports the report, said its proposals should not be taken verbatim. "The report recommends in principle what should be done but its recommendations are too ambitious for some places," he said. Tougas said the French department has a generally favorable attitude towards the principle of the report. "We're trying," said Tougas, "but it is very hard to get competent instructors in this area." This season the French department offers three courses involving Quebecois literature and language, as well as a course given through the centre for continuing education. There is also an interdepartmental seminar about Quebec involving the French, history, geography and political science departments. CYVR anti-liberal From page 1 he could listen to George Carlin," he said. "The university community is supposed to be liberal," bakshi said. "And then you run across a radio station that is more rigid than any down- 'town." "The thing we'd like to push is that there's nothing on the radio worth listening to," Foster said. "All we were trying to do was add something creative." Foster and Bakshi challenged Blankstein to sue them in a letter to The Ubyssey: "If Gordon sues us, and we hope he will, we would love to see his learned council wrangling before a perplexed judge as to the exact meaning of "farnitious tit". Afterwards they could battle over what constitutes a "colonly of lost arteries". If we go to court, Gordon, we shall surely prove that you are variously, altogether and without abruption — a fool." Exposure By RYON GUEDES For a mere $125,000 you could be swimming in a covered swimming pool on the UBC campus by the end of next term. But instead UBC students a re paying $5 a year for the next 20 years to pay for a $2.8 million white elephant which won't be ready for at least a year and a half. F. D. Bolton, owner of Bolton and Company, a firm that for two years has been building collapsible plastic coverings for outdoor athletic sites, says his firm could cover the Empire pool as it stands now for $125,000 and could do it in four months. Of course renovations to the pool such as added bleachers, filtration systems and even new showers would add to the cost, but it is doubtful whether the increase would amount to anything like $2.65 million. The point, it seems was to have a covered pool. Bolton could provide that. St. George's Private School had such a top built for its 100' by 45' pool for $27,000. This is their second season with the dome and they have had no problems — they are completely satisfied. The Jericho Tennis Club had a similar dome built for their courts two seasons ago. They also are quite satisfied with the performance of the cover. So much so that they intend to have Bolton build an additional structure on to their present one. The domes are puncture resistant, air conditioned, and can be easily collapsed for storage by a few men. There is no problem with condensation — less, in fact than with a conventional structure. Bolton's price includes the installation of the air conditioning and provides a dome high enough to accommodate the diving tower. Bolton was approached a year and a half ago by the AMS regarding construction of a cover for the Empire pool. Bolton says he is not sure why he was turned down. Alma Mater Society vice-president Gordon Blankstein says he doesn't know why either. Blankstein says a covered Empire pool would be inadequate. The filtration, wiring, and shower facilities of the Empire pool are antiquated. However, Blankstein did say once the new $2.8 million baby is built its filtration system will be hooked up to the antiquated, outdated, Empire pool so UBC will have two pools. Maybe then we'll put a cover on Empire pool. Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Wednesday, November 15, 1972 Student power Fifteen hundred students are on strike at Memorial University in Newfoundland. In Quebec, thousands of university students are preparing for a strike. At UBC, 20,000 students are . . . uhh . . . hmmm . . . well, maybe . . . they could be. . . sort of. . . but then again, maybe not. . . Yes, the place has been pretty dead the past four years. UBC student activism "peaked" on that glorious afternoon in 1968 when Jerry Rubin, a piglet and 2,000 students held a party in the faculty club. Since then the motley group of insurgents have graduated to face the real world, the piglet presumably has been made into chops and Jerry Rubin is telling people to get out and vote. So does the situation in the east mean student activism is making a comeback? Not in our opinion. The strike at Memorial University was caused by a direct attack on the student union by the administration. Students are not striking to gain new power; they are only attempting to hang on to what little power they already have. A similar situation exists in Quebec. In the rest of the country, the student movement is practically non-existent, so UBC students shouldn't feel guilty for not storming the administration building to back whatever demands they're not coming up with. Besides, they can hardly be blamed for being born into a dying class in a colonized country. What they can be blamed for is not attempting to transcend the limitations placed on them by their backgrounds. Students can begin this transcendence by contacting their undergraduate society reps to find out what they're doing to increase student power. If they're not doing anything, students should ask why. Do it! \\v\\ -tV\\c Ubyssey ^ Instant brew?

Naturally, neither of the two had ever been informed what the station policy actually was. "Well, then," you might ask, "if they weren't told about station policies, they must have been warned, in previous weeks, that they were stepping over the line." "But of course not. How foolish of you to ask!" "Then what do they assume to be the resulting effects of all this offensive material?" "Well, they said they were losing listeners." "Oh, then they must have ample evidence that the material caused a drop in the listening audience?" "Oh, fuck no! It was all conjecture!" "Well, I guess you got ripped off." "Oh, hell yeah!"

Concrete Something has to be done about all those concrete buildings. People don't even know nature exists. Something beautiful is out there — outside that window. Something beautiful that can give you some of the most exhilarating moments of your entire life. Surely to god some bright architectural student can come up with something better for the future than concrete slabs with windows. Nature is important. Greenery and foliage, skies, trees, seas, etc. etc. Surely to god it can be accomodated into our future cities and (campus) buildings. Perhaps concrete will need to be used. But let's not abandon nature entirely. If we abandon her now do you think she's going to wait around to help in the future? Even if concrete must be used let's accomodate a little more life into our future world. It is up to us you know! From a presently wishing to remain anonymous resident of the new Wally Gage Towers Buchanan Tower has been from start to finish a visual statement that there is no long-range planning on this cam- pus. We have the most beautiful site of any university in the world and yet what has been done to it is a crying scandal. This is the trouble with UBC: new needs for space, buildings, facilities, etc. are met on a piece-meal, ad hoc year-by- year, erratic basis, instead of a long-range, well thought out and planned basis. The architecture of Simon Fraser University may be controversial, but at least it is architecture! On our campus we have nothing but a hodge-podge of 1936 Gothic constructions like the library, World War II army huts, and drab faceless matchboxes like Buchanan, Angus and the Walter Gage Towers. With the possible exceptions of the Lasserre Building, International House, the Music building, the graduate student centre, the faculty club and the Metallurgy building, there is not one construction which evidences the imprint of an architect. This campus is perpetually being dug up in one area or another — and sometimes in the same area time and again — causing scarce financial resources to be wasted away, along with our nerves. Green spaces have thoughtlessly been cemented over, instead of building underground parking facilities. A couple of years ago a small and unique stand of primeval forest was chopped down to widen the Fraser River parking lot. Seen from the air, the whole area south of University Boulevard is a scene of devastation: there, everything has been destroyed and cemented over into a jungle of roads that lead nowhere and parking lots. Decisions relating to what is to be build at UBC and to the future of this campus in general, should no more be left to the discretion of a few people who never consult their constituency (faculty and students), than the future of Vancouver should be entrusted to a few real estate speculators. Although the UBC authorities I allude to are honest, selfless and dedicated to the public good — unlike their downtown counterparts— still the visual and environmental result is no better. One wonders for instance, why does UBC have a school of architecture when even its voice is never heard in these matters and new construction plans, instead of being entrusted to capable architects on campus are farmed out to mindless technicians outside. Four years ago, when the students Wednesday, November 15, 1972 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 voiced objections to our increasingly alienating surroundings, the senate of UBC set up a committee on long-range objectives, which invited all members of the university community to submit their views and propositions. I wonder how many people at that time responded as I did to this invitation and submitted lengthy memoranda, which then were shelved by the mandarins? Obviously, there is no more long- range planning today than four years ago and this campus is getting uglier day by day. The situation I have described illustrates the fact that UBC is not an academic community but a :old market place, where in the iast resort pennies and dollars done decide. Our campus has become a moribund campus, cul- :urally and politically lifeless. Rene Goldman Asian studies *J.B. This is a personal letter and n no way reflects the views of the lepartment.

Empire Pool can be adequately overed for about $125,000, by a andproof, waterproof air bubble over. These covers are made in weden, and have been used in 'ancouver to cover the tennis ourts at the Jericho tennis club nd the swimming pool at St. George's school. 'The covers can e easily dismantled in the immer time, by a small crew of len. Both the tennis club and the ;hool are satisfied with their lvestments. I think an air bubble cover is le ideal solution to the problem f getting year-round use from mpire Pool. But our council proposes to )end fifteen to twenty times as luch to achieve exactly the same id result: "a covered pool for BC". I am not going to just stand by id let this happen. I think )uncil should immediately con- der the bubble cover as an ternative to the second pool heme. I ask again that council embers publicly indicate their isition in his matter. I repeat my idier criticism: the second pool heme lacks imagination. I add: > ignore the alternative I have st proposed is evidence of competence. And incompetent preservatives can be recalled by petition signed by 10 per cent of Letters the active members of the AMS. I am going to continue to do everything in my power to introduce real issues into student politics at UBC. If we are ever to be taken seriously at other levels, we must first of all have a student government that is taken seriously right here. Leo Fox science 5 Rip off Last year, while I was living in Place Vanier, I went to a publicity meeting for the Walter Gage Towers. Housing director Les Rohringer and housing accountant Keith Davis were at that meeting Wally Towers to answer questions and provide information about the new residence complex. One common complaint voiced at that meeting was the high cost of living in the towers — $75 per month is quite a bit for most students. Davis dealt with the complaint by saying that $67.50 per month was really a truer figure, when you included the time that students were permitted to remain in the residences over the holidays. Now, however, we have found that we are all expected to leave on Dec. 21 and not return until Jan. 2, or else pay $2.47 per day for the room. This is not mentioned anywhere in the information booklet for the residences, and the majority of residents will only find out this week when notices are posted throughout the towers. Having discovered all this, and being rather upset about it aU, I went to see student housing advisor Dennis Boyd, to find out what was happening. I was informed that we could not expect to remain in the residences over the holidays when we had not paid for it — we couldn't stay there free, in other words. I referred to Davis' statement at the meeting at Place Vanier last year, and was told that I should not rely on verbal information — in other words, read the booklet. I was also told that if I worked out the rates over the total period of time we are living in the residences, I would find that it did come to $67.50 per month. I spent some time trying to do this, and it just doesn't work out that way. Gage residents pay $252 for the first term, which consists of 102 days, and $291 for the second term, whicy consists of 119 days. This works out to approximately $2.47 per day. The residence clerk corroborated this daily rate, and said he knew nothing about the monthly rate — yet residents are expected to give a full month's notice if they want to receive a refund if they move out before the term ends. It seems to me that this is just another example of how the university administration is taking full advantage of its monopoly situation with regard to housing, and while I really don't believe that they are going to change their policies because of student protests, I think the students of this university should be aware of the activities of the housing authorities.

In Toronto, several years of organization and agitation stop the construction of an expressway condemned as a soul-destroyer for the city's core. In Vancouver, residents of the Strathcona neighborhood organize and thwart an urban renewal project which would have levelled their homes. For University of Toronto political scientist C. B. Macpherson, these phenomena — all occurring within the last five years — represent the beginnings of an important shift in consciousness among Western industrial societies. We are, he says, going to be thinking of ourselves more, and more as producers rather than consumer, as creative transformers of the world rather than users of goods and services provided to us by a structure over which we have no control. And for Macpherson, who last week finished a series of UBC lectures on democracy in the industrial age, the move toward participation in the community and the workplace may represent the only hope for liberal democracy. Macpherson is an imposing, hook-nosed political theorist who filled a Buchanan lecture hall for four noon-hour talks. His slow, precise manner enabled us to follow the logic — and see some of the shortcomings — of his analysis. His work on the history of political theory reached book form in 1962 when he published The Political Theory of Possessive Individualism. In this look at the work of Hobbes, Locke, the Levellers and James Harrington, he showed how their theories — elements of which are present in modern liberalism were designed to fit the emerging market economy of the 17th century and its notion of man as an infinite consumer, driven by his nature to acquire as many goods and services as possible. Since the theory of Hobbes and Locke was based on the internal cohesion of the decision-making community, he argued, it ceased to become a workable political' principle when the democratic franchise was extended in the mid-19th century from the political and economic elite to the masses. In 1965, Macpherson's The Real World of Democracy suggested a way out of this "lack of cohesion", which has become increasingly apparent since the franchise was universalized in Western democracies. The non-capitalist (communist and third-world) countries might be short on "individual freedom," he reasoned. But the lessons they were supposed to contain for Western democracy was that the abolition of what Macpherson called "the compuslive transfer of powers" of a group of people (workers) to another group (i.e., non-individualist) democracies, is just as important as the retention of "individual freedom". Therefore, he said, "the societies which can best meet the demand of their own people for equal human rights, equal freedom for their members to realize their essential humanity, will be the ones that survive ... in the world from now on, power and influence will depend on moral advantage ... we in C.B. MACPHERSON —kini mcdonald photo . . visits UBC BALLOT BOX 'blunting class conflict' the West will decline in power unless we can discard our possessive market morality." Now, Macpherson is often labelled an academic Marxist, which means he sees political theory and structures as not only related to but flowing out of economic organization, and that he sees the history of politics as the history of attempts by social classes to gain or retain control over the resources of a community. For one with such an outlook, it might seem a little idealistic to speak of "moral advantage", rather than differences in economic systems themselves, as the coming thing in international relations — the motivating factor behind people's choice of one political alternative over another. And it may be a realization of this which prompts Macpherson to come somewhat back to reality, in the form of the participatory structures he held out last week as "an emergent model" of liberal democracy. In his first three lectures, Macpherson gave a generally excellent and cohesive description of the history of democracy from the time James Mill, in the early 19th century, advocated universal manhood suffrage as the political logical conclusion of the free enterprise system. In his view, the early liberal democrats, contemporaries of Mill, maintained that each human being if left to his own devices would according to his own interests, which naturally conflicted with those of each other human being. Since governments were composed of humans, they would naturally act the same way, and only the vote could protect the individual from government. These theorists managed to convince themselves that the working class would follow the lead of the economically dominant commercial interests in exercising their franchise, and this pose no threat to the social order. Mill's son, John Stuart Mill, and his followers, who included Woodrow Wilson and the educator John Dewey, witnessed the extra-parliamentary working- class activity which took centre stage in the middle and the latter half of the 19th century. They were afraid the working class would attain political power electorally and introduce "class legislation" detrimental to the interests of some. Thus they advocated a weighted vote system whereby the educated person's vote would be worth more than that of the uneducated. They also saw democracy as not only a political system to protect the individual from government, but a moral system for the individual's improvement. The uneducated would hopefully be motivated to improve themselves, led by the carrot- on-a-stick of the vote. The logical flaw here was that the lower classes knew their views would never prevail, and thus would lose interest in the political process.

It ration of corporate power to oods, jobs, security, and even DEMONSTRATORS the chances of continued life. This realization is coming slowly, but it can't be postponed indefinitely. "Third, there is growing doubt about the ability of the liberal state to meet consumer demands. The system will either have to spread goods more widely or it will break down. This may be enough to give us a breakout from the vicious circle." It is rudimentary consciousness that has produced the neighborhood and community association, and the moves for control of decisionmaking in the workplace. Macpherson sees the latter as more effective because it is not merely a single- issue organization. (He referred only in passing to the fact that workers' control has not been the issue in Canada that it has been in Europe, and more elaboration on this point would have been welcome.) The advantages of all this are twofold. "People are getting experience in decision-making in areas where their concern is more immediately felt and seen than in any other area of their life. Also they are participating as producers, not as consumers. They're not doing this to get a higher wage, but to make production more meaningful. This, Macpherson continued, "may sound as Utopian as Mill. But it isn't, because capitalism is now in a more unstable position. It may have to change its spots." Macpherson admitted that at this point he is more concerned with how we get to participatory democracy than what it looks like when we get it. But when he discusses how to get there, his logic seems to break down. How can we be sure that the change in consciousness, if such it is, will really produce fun- STUDENT PROTEST . . . greater consciousness, but no change a need to be producers, not consumers damental societal changes? Does the ecology movement really contain the seeds of the destruction of capitalism? Did the courageous Strathcona Property Owners' and Tenants' Association, in stopping the destruction of their neighborhood, change the cosy relationship between the land developers and city council, or leave behind them a structure that others in a similar predicament could use? And how can we be sure that workers in control of a factory (or students in control of a university, for that matter) will not merely try to beat management (and other managements, or administrations) at their own game? Is the attainment of consciousness as a producing collectivity really the be-all and end- all, or just the first step? Part of the answer lies in the French socialist Andre Gorz's article, Workers' Control is More than Just That. Gorz agrees that the struggle for workers' control is "a self-educational process". But he adds: "Neither the workers' councils, nor the factory or shop committees, nor the workers' power they stand for can prevail unless the political power of capitalism is broken, unless the capitalist state itself is overthrown and the capitalist relations of production and division of labor abolished." Gorz goes on to say that true workers' control organizations "cannot coexist for long with the power of capitalist management and of the capitalist state." If the fight "is not carried toward by political vision and organization, if it does not transcend itself into a generalized all-out offensive for a completely new society, then the organs of workers' power or workers' control must inevitably degenerate." On the question of community control, Mar- jaleena Repo in The Fallacy of Community Control points out that organization around community issues, while not unprogressive per se, acts just as Macpherson sees the party system does by blurring class distinctions which in fact should be emphasized so the class struggle can come to the fore. And we students know that our own involvement around issues such as representation on university senates, while it has perhaps made us more conscious of our own individual and collective political potential, really could never have hoped in itself to bring about any basic societal change. Macpherson, at the end of his last lecture, acknowledged that the "emergent model of participatory democracy" will not be reached "until we have reduced social inequality and fundamentally changed the relations between labor and capital. "Because," he said, "capitalism creates class division, and workers' control or the welfare state won't do the job." We are entitled to ask what will do the job. The classic Marxist response would be a revolutionary working-class political organization. Macpherson's commitment to the Marxist view of history seems to fall short of this. Of course he is under no obligation to answer in this way the dilemma he laid out before us last week. But there are obviously a lot of people who are anxious to get on with the job, and they will find themselves forced to answer it in one way or another. For many of them, organizing on a class basis aimed at the conquest of political power will seem the only logical and practical way of getting at a structure by means of which that power is used to pit class against class. I Page 8 THE UBYSSEY Wednesday, November 15, 1972 Gov't urged to stop cliff erosion By STEVE BROWN The UBC Alumni Association intends to request provincial government action to stop the erosion of the Point Grey Cliffs, says communications director Clive Cocking. Unless action is soon taken, Cecil Green Park and other buildings in the area of the cliffs will be sliding into the sea, Cocking said in a press release. Cocking says the association's cliff erosion committee have requested a meeting with' provincial resources minister Bob Williams to discuss a proposed plan to stop the erosion. The association believes because public buildings and public lands are at stake, it is the responsibility of the provincial government to cover the estimated $250,000 cost of the proposed operation, Cocking says. The solution to the erosion problem, devised by the engineering firm of Swan Wooster Ltd., would effectively stop the erosion along 3,700 feet of the most seriously threatened section of the cliffs, says Cocking. The Swan Wooster plan would create a new beach above high water elevation which would protect the base of the cliffs from further erosion. Sand fill would be dredged from the nearby offshore area and covered with a three foot layer of course pit-run gravel. The minimum width of the fill would be 30 feet, extending to a maximum of 85 feet at the most critical point. The fill would protect the cliffs from further wave action and allow slide material to accumulate on the beach and the cliffs to stabilize. Once the project is completed, the action of the waves would gradually "landscape" the area into a natural beach. The sea would carry sand and driftwood up onto the beach making it again a pleasant natural area, says Cocking. Unlike earlier proposals, no provision is made for a road along the beach. This had been a source of contoversy. Cocking says the Alumni Association feels that this proposal is the best and most economical plan available to protect the cliffs from further erosion and to perserve tower beach for recreation. The main cause of the erosion is the wave action of the ocean at high tide. This action undermines the sand cliffs which then slough into the beach to be also swept away by wave action. The undermining effect of surface and subsurface drainage water also contributes to the erosion process. The association feels that it the sand and gravel fill project is not undertaken soon, another slide may occur of the proportions of the one of January 1935. That slide carried 100,000 cubic yards of land into English Bay. It took a large bite out of the old campus, narrowly missing the old Graham residence and slashing across Marine Drive into the area of the present law building. While the servity of the 1935 slide resulted from the lack of a campus drainage system which has since been rectified, there is nothing to prevent another major slide from occuring, says Cocking. In recent years the cliffs have been eroding away at the rate of 0.3 to 1.6 feet per year. Cecil Green Park, a former residence which now serves as offices for the UBC Alumni Association and as a centre for conferences and social gatherings is now only sixty feet from the cliff edge. The continued erosion also poses a threat to the School of Social Work in the old Graham residence, the UBC president's residence, and the law faculty offices in the old women's residences. The total value of the endangered buildings is about $3 million dollars. Gears support president From page 1 agreed to meet with a four- man negotiating committee of students, provided the students would vacate the buildings, The students vociferously refused, and the stalemate continued past 6 p.m., with students prepared to stay all night if necessary. Donuts, soft drinks, coffee, fried chicken and sandwiches were brought in at various times to feed the hungry demonstrators, and local folk singer entertained the audience with a bit of music — including such songs as Get Together and Power To The People. Previously, students had joined together in several rousing rounds of Solidarity Forever. The bursar's office, registrar's offices, and numerous other branches of the administration had to close their doors in the afternoon, though only the vice-preisent's office continued to be occupied for more than an hour or so. Outside, the university's flags were lowered to half-mast. There was no immediate action from the local police on the occupation, though a couple of plain clothes men were keeping an eye on things. Campus security locked as many rooms as possible, but otherwise did little to oppose except observe proceedings. Students were given a strong moral boost by a series of telegrams and phone calls of support. Student unions at Dalhousie, Manitoba, UPEI and the College of Trades and Technology here declared theier support, as did the local bus drivers' union — presently striking against city hall. 066. sound WHY PAY MORE? *^_ 1/ price rfSERAPHIM ^■A "Angels of the highest order CLASSICAL RECORD SALE! g*^*fe£<^&^^i*^*Si*»6«> -3 '4* m.^ pottery • jewellery • macrame^ stained glass • candles DISCOUNT WITH AMS CARD & THIS AD Mon- Sat 10:30-5:30 Fri 'til 9:00 1124 Robson St 688-3979 George & Berny's VOLKSWAGEN REPAIRS COMPLETE SERVICE BY FACTORY-TRAINED MECHANICS FULLY GUARANTEED AT REASONABLE RATES 731-8644 2125 W. 10th at Arbutus Dunstan Massey of Mission City, opens 6:30 p.m., Thursday, in the SUB art gallery.

Page 12 THE UBYSSEY Wednesday, November 15, 1972 Letters From page 5 anything which cannot be proven by scientific inquiry based on the human physical senses; that my teen-age experiences with God were but psychological phenomena. And then one day I saw an angel. Not in vision like those appearing to some men of God in the Bible. Then you and I would have shouted, "Hallucination! Psychological illusion." God knew that. The angel which appeared to me was made of physical matter; at least what I could see of it. A flesh and blood angel! I gasped in amazement. Where a year before there had been nothing — no soul, no form . . . only a empty crib, there was now a masterfully fashioned, e xtremely complicated, living, breathing, throbbing being — far too intricate and beautiful; far too delightful and inspiring; with too great potential, and too impossible to ever be called a machine, or he product of pure chance. A person! I couldn't believe my senses. A person from nowhere — from nothing! Far too impossible to be called anything but a miracle. Beholding the loveliness and beauty of His handiwork; knowing that such order, and perceptive intelligence and loveliness are the work of an author (a personal author, because of the intensely personal nature of the creation), my doubts melted. With my physical senses I beheld! Beauty of life, or form, of complexity, and beauty of character. Contentment, where I had none; innocence, where I was surrounded and permeated with guilt. Yes, the physical senses can be called upon to testify. Not that this testimony is the only proof we may lean upon. After all, science cannot claim to be the only authority on every subject, because it is dependent, and it is based on he human physical senses, which operate within a very limited spectrum. I considered the Bible. Men testified of God's power as witnessed by them, and forfeited their very lives for it. And would men give up their lives to back up an idle tale? Later, at three years she is still an angel. She sleeps, but she hears me near her bed, and, just as I'm thinking she's fast asleep, she breaks into a smile, a sleepy smile, even though she's been sleeping four hours already. She utters a couple of words to me, then is gone. One night last month I asked God to reveal Himself to me; to speak to me concerning a deeply distressing problem. At three in the morning, I was awakened by little arms on my face. Laurie had left her bedroom and had come to me. She had never done this before, nor has she done it since. 1 thanked God for this special reminder of His personal presence and His limitless power. Henry Hiebert (former UBC student) Abbotsford Kenny! An open letter to arts dean Doug Kenny: You have asked via Don Soule, for a detailed description of what it is we want. Let me review the events as I see them. At the last faculty of arts meeting we handed out a leaflet in which we stated that we believed that students should be involved in decisions about the nature and quality of their education. We asked faculty members to think about the idea of having student participation at faculty meetings in order to give students an effective voice in decisions about course content, teaching, degree requirements, FRITZ PERLS FILM SERIES Eight Films NOV. 21, 28, & DEC. 5 at Eric Hamber Secondary School 5025 Willow St. - 7:30 p.m. $2.00 Discussion led by DAVID BERG of Gestact Doug's mug new programmes and so on. We stated that we would hope to have this question on the agenda for the next meeting at which time it would be proper for a faculty member to introduce motions on the subject. We suggested a possible motion which would give voting rights to the seven students presently on student/faculty committees and would also establish a committee to determine how many more students should be granted voting rights at faculty meetings. I know that you received one of these leaflets. Next, Vicki Obedkoff spoke to Soule about placing this item on the agenda. He told her that there might be some problem with the Universities Act but said he would check into the obstacles in our way. He said to come back on Monday, Nov. 6. On Monday, Vicki and I both went to see Soule. He said that according to you, the Universities Act does prohibit students from participating in faculty meetings. He suggested that we go to the senate committee which has supposedly been investigating student participation. I pointed out that the committee has done nothing for two years and what we would like is a statement from faculty which supports the notion of student participation. This statement of support which could contain the details of our proposed motion, could be sent to senate as well as to the new minister of education. Therefore, we would still want to have this item put on the agenda for the next faculty meeting. Well, obviously Soule had not checked into the obstacles too closely as he suggested there might be more technical difficulties though he couldn't tell us exactly what they might be. He would have to speak to you again, he said, and we should phone him back. So, on Tuesday I did phone Soule who said that he's spoken to you. We were to send you a letter describing what it is we want and then make an appointment to come and talk to you about the contents of our letter. By this time, I'm feeling that things are getting unnecessarily complicated and that we are being deliberately put off. A couple of things puzzle me. First, I've got a copy of the Universities Act in front of me and I can't see where it says students are prohibited from faculty meetings. It does say, section 26: "There shall be such faculties of each university as may be constituted by the board and the senate, nd each dean of a faculty shall be chairman of the faculty of which he is the dean." If the senate has prohibited student participation, then pre- sumeably the faculty can equest a change. Section 63 of the act says: "The powers and duties of a faculty are (a) to make rules and regulations governing its proceedings, including the determining of the quorum necessary for the transaction of business; (b) subject to the provisions of this act and to the approval of the senate, to make regulations and rules for the government, direction and management of the faculty and the affairs and business thereof;" Secondly, I'm puzzled by the difficulty we're encountering in merely getting this item on the agenda so that faculty members can see it's going to be discussed. Obviously, we would and are talking to sympathetic faculty who could make motions at that meeting and discuss the issues. We would also be prepared to come in the event that the faculty members might feel we should be allowed to speak to he question. I think we made it quite clear to Soule that right now we'd like to get in on the agenda so I was confused when he said you didn't know what we wanted and we should send you a letter. I hardly see how you can not know since you've seen our leaflet and Soule has talked to us and then to you at least two times. I interpret our difficulty as an indication of your lack of sympathy if not outright opposition to our even raising this issue. If someone wants to raise an issue at or put a request to student council, it is hardly this difficult. Either there's a problem of efficiency, or you're being deliberately obstructionist. At any rate, we've got an appointment with you on Thursday at 11 a.m. Until then, Brian Loomes president arts undergraduate society WHITE TOWIt MEEA & SPAGHETTI HOUSE LT |Steaks-Pizza-Spaghetti-Lasagna-Ravioli-Rigatoni-Chicken Cacciatorel OPEN Mon. - Thurs. 4 p.m. - 3 a.m. Fri.-Sat. 4 p.m. - 3 a.m. Sun. 4 p.m.-1 a.m. TAKE OUT ORDERS HOME DELIVERY DINING LOUNGE ^ FULL FACILITIES ^ & 3618 W.
