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

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.

THE UBYSSEY/7 POINT GREY BY-EIECTION
What's your Point?
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."

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."

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

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.

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."

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."

Birds hit Dino wall
Finish 3rd in Can-West
By Franka Cordua-von Specht
While UBC students were
Storming the Wall last weekend,
the UBC men's Volleybirds were
up against a formidable wall of
their own: the University of Calgary Dinosaurs at the Canada
West Championships in Calgary.
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.

By Joe Altwasser
The Skibirds Alpine and Nordic teams cashed in on some solid
individual performances last
week at the National Collegiate
Ski j\\ssociation at Lake Tahoe.
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.

March 14, 1989 UBC women's eight team
Vikings rout 'Birds
Women save face in Regatta
By Chris Hatch/Joe Altwasser
The UBC varsity women rowers were the invaders at the Viking Invitational Regatta on Vancouver Island last weekend and
capsized the interminable U-Vic
domination of the 'Birds this season.
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."
