I»0U-C£ 8&I£FS MOTORIST BEWARE The University RCMP have been receiving numerous complaints about erratic drivers. Motorists are reminded that even when you don't see the blue and white cars around, it's not an open invitation to speed, cut people off or make any other unsafe maneuvers. Any person who witnesses these illegal stunts can lodge a complaint. If they have obtained a license number, there are provisions under the motor vehicle act to charge registered owners for violations of the act. Police encourage citizens to become involved in keeping our highways safe. Motor vehicle accidents have increased in February and it's expected that they will keep increasing with the warmer weather and if motorist don't make a conscious effort to drive safely. The University RCMP members will be out enforcing traffic violations. The areas they will be focusing on are: Chancellor and University Blvd., 16th Ave., and Marine Drive; also the children's crosswalk on Acadia Road at University Blvd. and Chancellor. •Drive Safely and Buckle Up* 1989 Ubyssey Statistics Release involving occurrences at UBC For the month For previous month For total of February January Year Number of Files 340 378 718 Number of Thefts 7 16 23 from Motor Vehicles Number of Theft 4 14 18 of Bicycles Number of Theft 15 23 38 of Wallets Number of Motor 50 43 93 Vehicle Accidents Number of 20 39 59 Hit & Run Accidents Compiled by the University Detachment of Royal Canadian Mounted Police 2/THE UBYSSEY March 14, 1989 NEWS Chretien bolsters Liberal support for by-election By Catherine Vogt "Citizen" Jean Chretien, as he now calls himself, made a pit stop at UBC yesterday to address an overflow crowd and aid B.C. Liberal leader Gordon Wilson's campaign in the Point Grey by-election race. Calling on voters in Point Grey to elect an "intelligent moderate" to the legislature on March 15, the long-time Liberal poked fun at the premier, saying British Columbians didn't want to have to vote for the "Vander Zalms" of this world. The rest of Chretian's speech revolved around national issues such as free trade, Meech Lake, national unity and the 1982 Constitution. In response to one questioner who criticized him for failing to take a hard enough line against free trade, Chretien said the deal had been passed and now had to be dealt with as legislation. Though he called himself a "free trader," he attacked the deal generally, singling out its energy clauses as disastrous for allowing Americans greater priority than Canadians over their own resources. Chretien explained the after- election softening of his stance against the free trade deal as the normal result of the "political inflation" of issues during a campaign. He called himself a "free trader" and an "admirer" of Americans but said he would rather be a Canadian. In response to questioning about his leadership aims, Chre- tian said the job "is not open" but that he would "never say never". "Fortunately, Trudeau came back, so I don't want to say 111 never be back." As to Mike Harcourt and his recent wooing of the Vancouver business community, Chretien joked that the "leader ofthe NDP party is trying to become a Liberal." Chretien summarized his political career in an apparent attempt to give weight to the possibility that he might not run in a leadership race. He had promised his wife he'd only spend 10 years in politics but has stayed for 25 years as an MP and 18 years as a cabinet minister. He "won't apologize to anybody" for not giving more than 25 speeches through the last federal campaign. CAMPUS BRIEFS Ben Johnson statue left unbronzed TORONTO (CUP)—Anyone want to buy a statue of a fallen hero? A University of Toronto graphics and design department sculpted a six-foot plaster statue of Ben Johnson last summer in conjunction with the Ontario Science Centre's sport exhibit. The statue was to be bronzed for $18,000 and installed in front of the National Sports and Recreation Centre in Ottawa. But the centre doesn't want it anymore, following testimony at the Dubin inquiry which confirmed the sprinter's illegal use of performance- enhancing steroids. "The future of the sculpture is being assessed," said U of T media relations officer Harriet Eastman. "In all likelihood, a decision won't be made until June." Eastman said the statue is a valuable work of art regardless of its subject. "Bubby Kettlewell is a skilled artist," she said. "Whether or not it's Ben Johnson or anyone else, it's still a lovely piece of work." Geers' paper battle nears Supreme Court SASKATOON (CUP)—An eight-year legal battle involving the Red Eye, the engineering students' newspaper at the University of Saskatchewan, may be decided by the Supreme Court of Canada. The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ruled in February that the provincial Human Rights Commission was wrong when it found that two issues of the paper—dated October 1979 and February 1981—violated the Human Rights Code. "That the impugned content ofthe two editions constitutes an affront to the dignity of women is clear, but whether its publication in whole or in part offends the code is another," wrote Justice S.J. Cameron in the two-to-one majority decision. Cameron said that section 14 ofthe code does not apply to statements either written or oral, but to the "publication of notice, symbols, signs, or other such representation." But dissenting Justice Fullerton said that if the code cannot apply to a newspaper article, its purpose is "seriously impaired, if not defeated." Commission head Ron Kruzeniski said the decision whether to appeal to the Supreme Court will be made soon. Said University of Saskatchewan engineering society president Steve Rush: "Nobody in the college disagrees that the issues were sexist and degrading to women. We know it won't happen again." Students petition for PCB removal ST. JOHN'S (CUP)—A petition demanding the removal of 60-gallon drums of PCB-contaminated oil stored near a student studying area at Memorial University has garnered 450 signatures. "We're a bit miffed about it," said David Babb, president ofthe Physical Education Society. "(The polychlorinated biphenyls) have been there for six to 10 months and we didn't know about it." Neither did the department of the environment. "The only problem we had was that University Works didn't tell us it was there," said environmental investigations division director Carl Strong. But Strong said the chemicals were no big deal. "The amount of PCBs in each container is about the size of an eraser." Jean Chretien hits UBC in Point Grey by-election boost Duke's fans await AMS response By Deanne Fisher Duke's isn't dead yet. At least in spirit. The future of the student union building's privately-run cookie shop is still up in the air now that 1000 students have signed a petition calling for a referendum on the store's lease agreement with the Alma Mater Society. With just over a month left in its current lease, Duke's Cookies is scheduled to vacate SUB and be replaced by an AMS-run cookie shop. The petition is the second of its kind—the first, signed by over 3,000 people, was deemed invalid by the AMS because of its wording and the inability to ascertain whether the signatures actually belonged to students. Calling the _\\MS's response to the first petition "mechanistic", second year law student Tamara Hunter, a Duke's supporter who is acting as a liaison between the store and the AMS, is waiting for a decision on the petition. "When 3400 people sign one petition and then a thousand sign another, it's obvious students don't want this issue to be closed," she said. The wording of the second petition was recommended by a lawyer, according to Hunter, who added she thinks students who signed the petition did so aware of the issues involved. "It's a pretty simple issue, really." But the process of dealing with student unrest, said Hunter, is the real issue. "Ignoring a 3400 signature petition and a further 1000 signatures is not the right process," she said. Hunter submitted the petition to AMS vice-president Sara Mair March 10. According to AMS bylaws, a referendum must be called not less than 10 but not more than 30 days after submis sion of a petition. Though Hunter was concerned the referendum would have to be held before the end of the term, AMS president Mike Lee said it could be held in September. "We don't have to hold the referendum in March," said Lee, adding the 3Q day time period jumps from the end of the term to the beginning ofthe next fall term. The Duke's issue is not on the agenda for Wednesday night's council meeting, but Lee said it could be brought up under other business. The debate will likely revolve around "the practicality of holding a referendum on a lease agreement" according to Lee, who wants a decision made once and for all. "Unlike the past, I think the AMS has to make a firm decision on this," said Lee. Mair was unavailable for comment.

Point Grey voters will put somec housing, the environment, Meech 1 The Ubyssey has attempted to cove P V.ZERjM_D Kirby started B.C.'s newest political party because of milk. The New Populist Party was formed last year after Kirby was involved in a Vancouver court case which resulted in a judge laying down an injunction based on what Kirby calls "bogus health claims by the city" which restricted the production of milk in B.C. "(The media) has decided that we're unimportant... This is as bad as any dicatorship anywhere." Kirby took the judge's declaration that the appeal could only be overturned by the political process to heart by starting the party. Kirby says the NPP was "formed to represent the ordinary person of B.C.—parties like the Socreds, Liberals and NDP only serve monopolies, corporations and vested interests." Yet the 60-year old Chilliwack residentis no political neophyte. He worked on former British PM Harold MacMillan's constituency association executive and was a Progressive Conservative candidate in the last provincial election. "I'm not left wing by any means, yet all I believe in is fairness and the idea of need over greed." He has worked in shipbroking, trade and the Canadian merchant marine. "I was a farmer until a cow fell on me andl got a permanent hip Gerald Kirby, New Populist injury," Kirby said, who now is trying to get his party off the ground by contesting the Point Grey by- election. Kirby says he "came; to Canada so my two daughters could get a decent education," so he is interested in post-secondary education issues, particularly UBC. "I object to post-secondary education funding being a political football," said Kirby. "There should be adequate funding and there should be a full-scale university established in the center of the province because this province is very large and interior students having to come down to to Vancouver and Victoria is an unconscionable situation." He'd like to "rollback" this year's tuition increases at UBC "because it creates hardship. (The increased tuition) is well and good for students who can afford it, but what about the poor student who can't afford it. Who's thinking of them?" "Personally, I'd like to see that any citizen should recieve as much education as they need. The state should pay for it. A student loan debt of 10, 15, 20 thousand dollars—anyone having to start off life with a debt like that over their hearts is a ridiculous situation, to put it bluntly," he says. "It's all very well for UBC to have a nice golf course, but they could use some of that for student housing beacuse there's a real need," he says. Kirby's party aims to "get eve rybody over the poverty level and into good jobs. That's the priority." Kirby says this can be done by increasing the number of farms in B.C. from 2,000 to 5,000 and cutting the restrictions on how much food they can produce. He argues that this would put tens of thousand to work in ancillary industries. Also, he feels that B.C. has enough resources to "look into developing primary industries like iron and smelting, even making steel." If you haven't heard of Kirby and the party, Kirby blames this on the local all-candidate meetings which ignore smaller, less popular parties. That and the effective media blackout on his party gets Kirby upset. "(The media) has decided that we're unimportant," said Kirby. "This is as bad as any dicatorship anywhere. That's how Vander Zalm suceeded. They (the media) built him up. He was a walking, non- controversial smiling toothpaste advertisement." On abortion, Kirby says "In a free country, in a free society, people have the freedom of choice. As far as these (pro-life) Christians are concerned, the Bible gives mankind free choice, so it's up to women to decide about abortion. There shouldn't be any need for any law on abortion." "Personally, I don't put too much credence in the Meech Lake accord," he added. "I'll bet 999 out of a thousand don'tknow the situation about Meech Lake." -R.H rvu IY Ann Nilan has a unique solution to the debate over post-secondary funding levels in B.C. She thinks the Socreds are giving too much money to UBC. "I don't know if you'd think that I'd be a good MLA for UBC because I'd be attempting to get the government out of education," she says. "If we had a Libertarian government, there wouldn't be a (post-secondary) funding problem because education would be privately financed." "people who go to UBC and work there should run UBC and support it with their own dollars.If I were an MLA, I wouldn't ask for provincial government dollars" Nilan, who is single, 38 and works for a Vancouver printing company, is the Libertarian candidate in tomorrow's Vancouver Point Grey by-election. Libertarians believe, she says, that governments should have very reduced powers as they tend to use their power against people. "We feel that the main responsibilities of government should be defence, courts and police and nothing more. We'd like to see more personal freedoms, less restrictive laws and more economic freedom so Mary Ann Nilan, Libertarian that government doesn't interfere with business," she says. Thus the Libertarian policy on education. Nilan says governments "dictate" so much about university education when "people who go to UBC and work there should run UBC and support it with their own dollars. If I were an MLA, I wouldn't ask for provincial government dollars. I'd want the government to get their nose out of UBC." Nilan argues that a voucher system, which allows individuals to direct tax dollars to schools they "believe are doing the best job" may be the best way to address the funding issue. "I'd be interested in opening up B.C.'s universities, UBC in particular, to private sector contributions and investment, especially for bursaries," she says. "Education or schooling is a business. If (schools) are not putting out a product that people want, they'll close down. They'd have to because they didn't have the money," she says. She adds that she'd tell people who are protesting the level of post-secondary education funding that they "are being subsidized with my money to go to school. Students pay comparatively little ofthe costs of post-secondary education." But she says, "They're probably not getting their money's worth." "Libertarians are as divided as any group on abortion," Nilan says. She says she's pro-choice, but agreed with most Libetarians that "abortions shouldn't be funded by the government. They should be funded privately. It's not fair for anyone who opposes abortion, who thinks it's murder, to have to pay for it through their taxes." Abortion clinics should be privately run, with no government funding. She said "private property should be sacred" and was concerned that "all that (local pro-lifers) do is picket. They don't seem to have alternatives.'' "About the (west side's) so- called housing crisis, the only people who are concerned about it are really uninvolved. The people who buy and sell homes are happy and it's not something that should involve the government," she says. About Meech Lake, Nilan said she was sure the party itself was coming up with a stance on the pact, but "the issues are changing. I fear I don't understand it any more. Who knows what the outcome will be?" Nilan says she'd emphasize, if elected, "getting government out of business, cutting red tape and eliminating 'victimless crime laws' that regulate things like drugs and prostitution"—activities that don't hurt people who don't get involved in them. She said libertarianism was an idea whose time had come and that she felt that UBC's Libertarian club as well as her candidacy would present the limited government ideal to the electorate. "People should be left alone to do as they choose." -R.H I T'S a Sunday morning and Tom Perry only has about an hour before his next speaking engagement—a freedom of speech event at the Arts Club where he will join other local authors to read from Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy ofthe People. The 37 year-old NDP candidate asserts that he is indeed a local author with Citizen's Guide to the Skagit Valley and The Prevention of Nuclear War which he edited to his credit. But it is Perry's history as an environmentalist and peace activist, not as an author, which is perhaps his greatest asset. The UBC Endowment Lands for Perry represent more than an election issue. He has been dedicated to their preservation for 20 years, fighting against road construction west of Spanish Banks as early as 1968 and presenting his case for preservation ofthe land last year. His prime concern for the area is to "see the Endowment Lands stay in their natural state". "At the same time, I recognize the fundamental justice of Native land claims including the legitimacy of the Musqueam's claim because they were clearly here first—by 5,000- 10,000 years," he adds. "I think the Social Credit government has made a major mistake in ignoring the claim and greatly complicated the situation by forcing the Musqueams to go to court," says Perry, adding that the trials will prove expensive for both the Musqueams and the taxpayers. Perry's other environmental pet project for Point Grey is manda- Valerie Parker, Green E, IVEN if she doesn't get the media attention the big three candidates receive, Valerie Parker is determined to get her message across. But for somebody with little sponsorship and considerable ideals, her job is tough. "In terms of employment I know we would employ more people if we stopped clear cut logging." "I'm not littering the riding with plastic signs, which is one of the funny things about the other candidates claiming to represent the environment," says the Green Party's Point Grey candidate, "I did put up a few plywood signs...but I haven't run any paid ads, except for one which the teachers at my school put in the Courier." Parker doesn't accept the notion that the Greens are a radical fringe party nor that they are a one issue party. But the environment is the centerpiece of her campaign. "Many people in the NDP think that the NDP has all the answers (envi ronmentally). Don't get me wrong, I'm not slamming Tom Perry...but what Tom stands for and what his party stands for are two different things. I don't think the NDP would ever shut down a mill if it was polluting." A long time NDP member, Parker quit over the party's stand supporting Meech Lake. "The rights of minorities are just set aside (in the agreement). It has nothing to include women or the territories. I think that Quebec had their referendum and chose to stay in Canada. I have great feeling for them that their language is being eroded but we need a strong federal government rather than a bunch of little premiers fighting against each other." One of Parker's platforms is major reforms ofthe forestry industry, including a ban on large scale clear cut logging, a threatening idea to many people in B.C. But she maintains that itis feasible saying, "In terms of employment I know we would employ more people if we stopped clear cut logging." Parker also links Native land claims with the forest industry. There should be ahalt to the issuing of tree farm licences until the claims have been resolved, she says. In reference to the Musqueam 8/THE UBYSSEY March 14,1989 POINT GREY BY-ELECTION me in the legislature Wednesday when they go to the polls in the provincidl by-election. The issues are big ones—education, health care, _ake, the University Endowment Lands, abortion—and this is your last chance to get to know the parties, the candidates and their stands. r ail of the candidates as well as the issues but we regret the omission of Human Race Party candidate Louis Lesosky who was unobtainable. tory full-scale recycling, which could be subsidized in part by the provinvicial government—on top of the municipalities commitment. "I think we need student support programs which are contingent on the student's ability to repay the loan," An attending physician and lecturer in UBC's Department of Medicine, Perry is at home with issues of funding facing the university. He has written to UBC president David Strangway opposing tuition fee hikes and advocates renovations to B.C.'s student financial aid program. "I think we need student support programs which are contingent on the student's ability to repay the loan," he says. Perry points out that though some students will become among the highest paid citizens of the province, the less successful should not be burdened with the same heavy loan repayments. Perry supports private sector funding of university research, as long as the research is non-polluting and non-military. He concedes President Strangway was "boxed into a tight corner by the government" when raising tuition but adds he wants to "abolish the patronage system" which sees Socreds unsuited to running a university appointed to the Board of Governors. "I don't think you'll see (businessman) Peter Brown as chairman with an NDP government." As a Point Grey homeowner, Perry has experienced first hand the "crisis" conditions the area's housingmarketis facing. He attributes the skyrocketing prices and rents to a variety of factors—speculation, demolition of older homes and apartment buildings, foreign investment and pure hysteria, which "may be pushing older West Side residents to sell their houses when it may not be in their best interest." "Flipping"—the purchase of real estate with the sole intent of reselling it rapidly at a much higher price—artificially drives up the market, according to Perry, who favours speculation tax to curb the problem. "This kind of tax would be very high, approaching 100 percent in transactions of brief ovwnership," he says. The rising rents are pushing students further from the university, which results in "an appalling waste of students' time to have to commute an hour to and hour and a half," he says. Perry cites four Point Grey apartment buildings slated for demolition which are to be replaced by "upscale, expensive condo's" as evidence that the trends are "chasing out people who are renting at modest rates." And Perry reminds that any demolition also means the destruction of micro-environments—displacing not only the building's human residents but the birds, insects, and vegetation as well. Perry's medical experience, as well as his marriage to a nurse have made him privy to the working conditions of B.C.'s nurses, whom he says are grossly underpaid. And it is because nurses are pimarily women that their conditions have been ignored, he says. The Social Credit's position towards trade unions has meant women—who make up much ofthe province's lowest income bracket— have been unable to organize. -D.F. Ij OB Seeman is the only confirmed "nonpolitical" candidate in the Point Grey by-election: he won't align himself with a party, nor will he endorse another candidate if he loses. Instead, the third-year UBC law student is running on an education platform. Not only does he support increased provincial funding for education—a 10 percent increase every year for the next 10 years—but he also says that many controversies such as abortion can be resolved through education. "I feel (the abortion issue) would be much less controversial if the people discussing it were a lot better informed.... To be able to reach a compromise that both sides will agree to, they have to understand each other,'' he says. Education would help people reach a compromise on abortion Bob Seeman, Independent claims to the University Endowment Lands she says, "As long as they ignore it, its like pretending those people aren't there. It's certainly a legitimate claim and it's got to be heard." While Parker does not take sides on who should get the land, she wants to see it remain as forest. "Near Triumph (Research Park) you can smell this— whatever it is—from quite a distance," says Parker referring to a what she suspects is a toxic waste dump on the University lands, "These things need to be investigated. It's similar to the PCB's being stored in Vancouver high-schools. I feel that people are just unaware of what's in their own backyard." One area that Parker is more than willing to talk, about is pesticides in food. According to Parker, the provincial government is negligent in testing of food, hiding behind levels of "acceptable risk". One example she cites is how government tests were too slow in detecting a shipment of 800,000 lettuces from California that couldn't be sold there because of high levels of TCDD, a phenoxy herbicide. The lettuce was distributed and consumed, according to Parker. "People are very trusting, they all think the government is taking better care of us. But only five chickens a year get tested in B.C.," says Parker. Referring again to the chemicals in produce she says, "It's all very insidious stuff because these apples are so huge and pretty." Although Parker's platform is highly topical she has yet to be recognized by man}/ as a important candidate. She gets considerably less attention than Liberal Gordon Wilson who isn't a Point Grey resident, even through she managed to garner over 23,000 votes in the last civic election for Parks Board. "The Vancouver Sun still says there are only three candidates... At what is called an all candidates meeting, they only invite three candidates," says Parker. But she admits that she is getting some media attention, including some good coverage on BCTV and Cable 4. -M.L because they could discuss abortion "more rationally," says Seeman. Also, if sex education were taught "from a very young age," fewer women would get pregnant and fewer women would be seeking abortions, he adds. "Abortion is a very traumatic experience that no woman would ever voluntarily want to go through," he said. Seeman has not been able to keep himself totally out ofthe polit- cal fray during his campaign. He criticizes NDP candidate Tom Perry's proposal to tax property speculators, calling taxes a "socialist cure-all." As a socialist, Perry does not realize that speculation is a legitimate form of investment which provides capital needed for development of new housing, he says. Seeman supports a tax on foreign investors flipping property but not a tax on domestic investors. Foreign buyers who intend to live in the houses they buy would not be taxed. With foreign speculation, he argues, "you leave your real estate open to all the billions and billions of dollars in the entire world to use your land as poker chips, as shares to be bandied around and played with." But Seeman says he supports foreign investment in anything other than real estate. "We want foreign money in the province, but not playing around with our houses as if they were Monopoly properties," he said. He cites the Expo land development as an example of foreign investment he supports. He also criticizes Perry's proposal tobuildsubsidizedhousingon public land in Vancouver's west side: "It would be foolish to create low-cost sudsidized housing in the most expensive area of the Lower Mainland. (That's) not to say it's not needed—(we) need to put it where it's most efficient, where we can create the best housing for the most people at a reasonable price," he says. Building subsidized housing in "another part of town" would not create a ghetto, according to Seeman. "We don't have those problems now. We don't have those problems in Canada anywhere. That's more of a social problem than a financial one," he said. "I feel (the abortion issue) would be much less controversial if the people discussing it were a lot better informed..." Seeman would solve students' housing problems by encouraging housing development on the UBC campus. "Low cost townhouse and apartment style units are needed. UBC is a big campus with lots of land that can be used for low cost student housing," he says. But student housing should be "self-supporting" like the Fairview residences. "I don't believe in subsidized housing. I believe in helping the disadvantaged directly—by helping the single mothers, the physically disabled, through direct subsidies to people rather than housing," he says. Seeman would provide an "incentive for developers to build housing" on the UBC campus, but he doesn't give specifics on what the incentives would be. The University Endowment Lands should be preserved as a park and not developed into an urban park like Stanley Park, according to Seeman. But he doesn't know how to resolve the Musqueam claim to the endowment lands: "Frankly I know very little about the basis of the Musqueam land claim....If there is a legitimate land claim, it must be looked into and settled." Seeman is critical of the provincial government for not making education a high enough priority: "We've got people in Victoria right now—a premier who barely has a grade 12 education—who don't realize the importance of quality education." Although B.C. entrepreneurs may have been able to compete in the past without a college or university education, in the future B.C. must compete internationally and higher education will be necessary, he says. "The only way to compete (in an international marketplace) is by attaining a highly skilled workforce." -L.J.M Continued on pages 10&16 March 14,1989 THE UBYSSEY/9 ■ {7mig^ '■■',' Vr ■% X ■£i''i#v'v'' i£ mm^mt smicrioN _»\\ " yoo PONT ttAV&-R)B£ABl6^ 6P£MPCJRT0 TfcgAT AFBlEND TD AS0PEH6IK6CR ATUE KIN6'S HEAD.

Provincial Liberal leader Gordon Wilson says there's nothing wrong with a slow start, and his tortoise-like approach may pay off when the votes are tallied Wednesday. Despite his position, Wilson has retained a relatively low profile in the public eye after his election as party leader two years ago. Wilson says he has been working hard rebuilding the party from the roots up, instead of seeking out photo opportunities. "The people of B.C. are Liberals, they just don't know it yet," he says confidently. Although Wilson is a transplanted candidate in Point Grey, he says voting for him will signal a long needed change in Victoria- Providing he can sweep away the cobwebs of Point Grey ex-MLA Pat McGeer crossing the floor to the Socreds, Wilson says he will address four main issues if he is elected in Point Grey. His main priority is the current policy of the government to sell off large tracts of land to encourage foreign speculation. "It pushes up land values, and causes a serious problem in taxation." The second issue is education funding. "It seems to me as ironic that the government is putting away close to a billion while they are asking students to contribute an additional ten percent." The government has generated money by selling off crown assets below market value, but they haven't been putting this money towards social services, Wilson says. The third issue is the environment. "I am a dedicated environmentalist. I think British Columbians have become so preoccupied with the relentless pursuit of profit and only realizing that at the expense of the environment. Marine pollution, atmosphereic pollution, and even extending into agriculture, are problems which need to be addressed," he says. The fourth issue on. Wilson's hit list is health care—which he sees as an inextricable part ofthe Gordon Wilson, Liberal environment issue. "We spend millions on health care as a result of the whole work environment, basic nutrition, or lifestyle—drugs and alcohol. We have to direct a lot more money into preventative medicine, rather than funelling money into finding cures." Wilson says he would begin to solve the problems on hishit list by giving regional and community groups better control of their own tax base. "This regionalism ofthe Socreds is a joke," says Wilson. "All it's done is let people get close to the ministers, and enjoy privileged relations—creating an absolute government." As a Liberal, Wilson says education should be funded by a number of different sources. The legislation should be changed, Wilson says, so private industry can co-fund research and development—making the rest available to classical education. The formula funding program in effect now, Wilson continues, only motivates people to load up on business related courses.

Faculty member, and UBC geography grad, says people have lost touch with what education is all about—"it's about self-worth." Setting up a Fine Arts Council, says Wilson, would be a way of increasing interest in the arts—so students would feel they were pursuing a career, instead of living on the fringe. On another, more philosophical level, Wilson says we must start making a distinction between labour and work. "Fifty-two cents of every dollar is created by non-work labour—housewives, environmentalists are all an important part of our society as the people who punch nine-to-five." Wilson says he is a firm believer in increased participation in the democratic process. And in the same vein, he sees the Musqueam land claim on the UEL as a valid concern. Wilson says setting up a land use commission may be one way of solving the UEL problem. "I think we have to look at each claim on its own merit. We have to seek some reconciliation package. The Sechelts have been successful in becoming the first autonomous Native community. It may be similarly succesful for other groups. We have to work towards making it a realizable goal."

Vaulting the regular season without a loss, the Dinos were not to be dethroned by the Thunderbirds who, ranked second in Canada West, have been the Dino's fiercest rivals this season. Both teams collected 65 kills in Friday's match, a surprising statistic in light of the straight game loss (15- 9, 15-13, 15-7) the 'Birds suffered. "The offences were pretty even, but we did a poor job taking advantage of opportunities," explained UBC head coach Dale Ohman. Taking away from the play on the court was the officiating which plagued the Birds, "The game was marred by poor minor officiating, culminating in the play of the middle game which cost us the game," said Ohman. With the 'Birds serving in the second game, trailing 14-13, "their big gun Randy Gingera hit the ball out. The umpire, standing three feet away, and the ref signalled the ball out, but a linesman signalled touch," elaborated Ohman. The umpire overruled his initial judgement and called the ball in, "at which point Calgary's captain broke out laughing," said Ohman. "The Calgary coach was embarassed at the call." "At the very least, the ump could have called for a replay, but he let it stand," said Ohman who felt his team had been robbed. Their spirits lowered by the loss, the Thunderbirds did not regain momentum and lost the match in the next set. On Saturday, both teams did not regain Fridays intensity, and the 'Birds lost 15-6, 15-9, ll- lS, 15-9. In the third set, the 'Birds were down 6-1 when "our guys woke up ".having "lulled them to sleep", and rallied back to a surprise win, said Ohman. Ohman attributed Saturday's problems to the blocking-"our Achilles' heel all year"- and the setting, which alternated between John Keleris who played Friday and Ryan Kineshanko who set the next night. "We're lucky to have two pretty good setters, but we'd like one them to take control. We have n't settled on one setter all year," said Ohman. On Saturday, Thunderbird power hitter Rob Hill was chosen UBC's Player of the Game for his all around defencive play and the strong serve-receive, said Ohman. Blue chip Greg Williscroft led the team offensively, collecting 29 kills on Friday and 24 on Saturday. The Thunderbirds, ranked fourth nationally, will return to Calgary next Thursday to face fifth ranked University of Waterloo in the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU) Championships. If they fly past Waterloo, the Thunderbirds may have to take on Calgary again. "We can in fact defeat them," said Ohman, who figures his team is bound to beat Calgary sooner or later. "The odds are in favour .*' The CIAU finals will be telecast live on TSN on Saturday. T-Birds snatch bronze By Joe Altwasser and John Newlands In a surprise finish to an injury plagued season, the UBC men's track and field team finished third at the CIAU Nationals in Sherbrook, Quebec last weekend. The University of Manitoba Bisons won the meet with 72 while the University of Toronto Blues took second with 39 points. UBC finished with 32 points. UBC's Mark Johnston put in an outstanding performance in the men's 600 metre final with a last minute kick that suprised the field and won him the gold medal. Johnston continued his heroics in the 4X400m relay when his blazing anchor leg moved the 'Birds from fifth to second place, missing the gold medal by .01 seconds. Erika Forster was UBC women's top performer, capturing the gold medal in the triple jump shattering the CIAU record in the process. Forster leaped 11.85m in setting the new record. The UBC women's 4X400m relay team added to UBC's medal tally, picking up the bronze behind first place Manitoba and second place Sherbrooke. High jumper Andrew McFarlane rounded out the UBC medal total with a bronze while teammate Graham Day was fourth. Rob Lonergan, the outstanding performer at the Canada West meet was bothered by an achilles problem that forced him out ofthe 3000m final. Despite the injury, Lonergan managed to finish the 1500m in a respectable fourth place. BIRD DROPPINGS Rugby The varsity rugby team travels to Victoria to compete in an eight team tournament at U-Vic this weekend. The 'Birds, freshly back from an undefeated romp through the U.S. will be competing against their arch-rivals U- Vic and four American squads including the University of Oregon, Kansas, and the U.S. Air Force Academy and Brigham Young. The U- Vic JV's and the University of Alberta round out the tournament entries. last weekend in Vancouver City league play, knocking off the Ramblers and North Vancouver by identical 3-0 scores. Coach Gail Smith said the team is playing extremely well and appears to have adjusted to the two new offensive systems implemented. Smith is cautious about the early success of the system and will wait to see if it has any effect on the T-Birds forte, defence. "We are grateful for the publicity given us on the board (in front ofthe admin, building)," Smith added. Fieldhockey The UBC women's varsity fieldhockey team continued its league-leading form r<^ Head coaches Carmyn James and Marek Jedrezjek said they were pleased with the performance of the injury plagued team which had come with key performances when it counted.

Corey Henderson led the 'Birds alpine team with an impressive eighth place finish in the women's combined event, a combination of slalom and giant slalom events. Kerri Wyse placed 25th, out of 87 racers. The UBC women finished the 17 team event in fifth place, despite the fact one of their top racers, Anne Taciuk, could not make the meet. "The women skied well," said UBC sports representative Don Wells, who accompanied the women to Tahoe. "The highlight of the meet for UBC was when Corey Henderson made second team all- American." The men's nordic team, which also qualified for the national meet did well placing llth. Team member Simon Koch said the 'Birds, "hoped to finish at least 9th but the poor weather and snow conditions played havoc on us. We were used to hard packed snow." Terry Delong placed 32nd was the first ski-bird to the finishing point, with Simon Koch 35th and Jonathan Lineen 48th. The nordic team had to fight more than poor weather in Lake Tahoe, as poor meet organisation caused the team to miss a race. The mix-up was the result of a "verbal amendment" that was not passed onto UBC said Koch. Don Wells said the organisational problem was more extensive than just the UBC incident. "It was unfortunate that the high-standard of racing was not matched by the organization." Wells said part ofthe problem was caused by the fact that a ski area and not an institution (e.g. UBC) hosted the event.

The women's heavy eights defeated the U-Vic women in what one team member said, "was the highlight of the week." The other UBC women's crew also pulled off a victory in the women's lightweight category. The lightweights managed a second place to the U- Vic Junior Varsity heavy-weights when they jumped a weight class to compete in the JVs heavyweight category. The men did not fare as well at Elk Lake losing to their nemesis Victoria on both days. The UBC crew actually came third, finishing behind the Viking's JV squad also. The lightweight men's crew lost by only 15/100ths of a second to U-Vic on Saturday. The 'Birds hopes of avenging their loss on Sunday was dashed when they missed their race. In the novice category the men pulled to a victory in the coxed fours but finished second and fourth to U-Vic on both days. The women also won the coxed fours but finished second and third in the eights. There was potentially better news for rowing coach Bob Downey as he exchanged vows in a weekend marriage ceremony in Vancouver. The Thunderbirds next action is the March 25-26 weekend when they co-host the UBC/VRC invitational at Burnaby lake. This event is the last warm-up before UBC leaves for San Diego to compete in the prestigious "Crew Classic." **$0^ YOUR STUDENT TRAVEL BUREAU!
