THE UBYSSEY Vol. LXV, No. 45 Vancouver. B.C. Friday, March 18,1983 228-2301 Sitting across from Joey Shithead is like facing a grizzly bear gone punk. He has a huge body highlighted by frazzled hair and strategically placed scars on a set of massive shoulders. But he's not exactly your average Joe. Or your average Shithead. "Why be scared?" asks Shithead. "Words are just words, just things you write down on paper and utter through your vocal chords." "If someone hears that this guy's name is Joey Shithead, they're going to all of a sudden form a bunch of impressions," adds guitarist Dave Gregg. "One of the worst problems this society has is operating under misconceptions and illusions because of things they hear." See review page 3 Misconceptions will probably surround Vancouver's punk gods D.O.A. for some time to come. Just as the cops "misinterpreted" Shithead's behavior the night they dragged him out of the local punk palace the Smilin' Buddha, people will probably always be somewhat confused by the band's aims and role. Gregg and Shithead's rambling dialogue makes conversation with them as difficult to decode as the lyrics of many punk songs. "We try to cover a whole range of the things people are dealing with every day of their life," Gregg says. "Part of it's sexuality, and part of it's watching the six o'clock news," he says. Gregg envisions the band as important communicators — like the press. And he sees D.O.A. as participants in a "media war." "We're a part of the media as much as the Vancouver Sun is. It's entertainment. They're trying to get people to buy their newspapers and we're trying to get people to come out and see us. They're pretty accurate with the weather and sports scores and saying the Queen was here, but as far as, I'm concerned, they're completely irresponsible in most cases." Gregg sees their task as one of breaking down cultural barriers in society. "Punks were originally doing that just by themselves. Now five years on down the line, there's a cultural barrier between punks and the rest of the world — so we've got to break that one down too," he says. "You can't let people build up misconceptions about one another, especially in something as trite as what kind of music you listen to." Shithead echoes Gregg's statements on the change that has taken place with D.O.A. He doesn't see it as compromising, but as broadening to encompass more original musical ideas and a wider audience. "By trying some different styles of music, we've managed to get other types of people interested and so we've managed to branch out rather than just preach to the converted," says Shithead. As a result of these changes in their music and changes in the bands personnel, D.O.A. is achieving a measure of success that has previously eluded the band. Commercial radio is perhaps the largest barrier the band faces. D.O.A. is an alternative band, which means it does not meet commercial stations' safe and conservative criteria. Shithead notes that the local shlock-rock station CFOX kept a notice of the group's concert at UBC off their concert calendar. "They just figure D.O.A. isn't kosher," says Shithead. "Radio has a sort of family mentality instead of having an open mind and any leaning towards originality. If you're in the family you're cool. If not, forget it." The band is further limited in getting local airplay by their reputation in Vancouver music circles as "muckrackers," says Shithead. Webster's New World dictionary defines the word muckrake as meaning, "to search for and publicize real or alleged corruption in politics." Despite its derogatory connotation, the term is not far from being an adequate description of at least one aspect of D.O.A. The bands' lyrics often criticize and attack society's norms. One of the band's concerns is the arrest of the five people charged with bombing a B.C. Hydro substation and Red Hot Video outlets. Shithead shows no hesitation in speaking out in defence of the five. "Basically they're not terrorists anymore than anyone else is. It's like fighting fire with fire. B.C. Hydro is willing to run over anybody at any time, just to meet their goals." One of the five arrested was Gerald Hannah, formerly known as Gerry Useless, bassist in the Subhumans. Because of D.O.A.'s concern with the issues involved and Hannah's alleged involvement, they will be releasing a single in April, with profits going towards the support fund for the five. "The single is hopefully going to include statements from them and statements from us on what we think about the way the whole thing has been handled and the specific issues," says Gregg. With Shithead as a founding member, D.O.A. was formed in the late '70s during the punk heyday when pins and colored hair were introduced to shake up our conservative and staid society. Punk luminaries such as Chuck Biscuits, Randy Rampage and Zippy Pinheacl were members of the band during its formative years. Now Shithead, Gregg, bassist Wimpy Roy (former lead singer of the now defunct Subhumans) and drummer Dimwit (formerly of the Pointed Sticks) have combined forces to produce the most exciting version of D.O.A. yet. On their most recent release, War on 45, D.O.A. exhibits musical leanings which represent a definite progression from the hardcore punk genre to which they formally adhered. According to Shithead, War on 45 has sold about 20,000 copies. And they even have a bona-fide hit in the classic tune War, which he says is being played on about 100 college and five commercial radio stations. Whether D.O.A. can triumph in war remains to be seen. In the meantime, followed by their dedicated army of punks, skinheads, rockers, and other stragglers, the band continues to communicate — obvious to the fact that they could truly become dead on arrival. ^> vs #5 °A, "*■»*>„ -^r "•***%, •&- "e/V '</, ceme Ph, °tos "^■^^.^^^-^ Page 2 THE UBYSSEY Friday, March 18,1983 WARNING: Health and Welfare Canada advises that danger to health ExdoiI "A" Reaular "tar" 17 ma. nicotine 1.1 ma.

Friday, March 18,1983 THE UBYSSEY Page 3 Jimmy Dean five exemplary in film By SHAFFIN SHARIFF Dear Sidney: It's been a long time since you 've been to the old 5 and Dime store. Perhaps it's because you died. Things have changed there, although you couldn 't tell by looking at the place; the Jesus photo framed with pink light is still there, and your faithful wife Juanita still keeps a Bible behind the bar — where you prefered to keep the bottle of Bourbon. You would have liked the day Mona, Sissy, Stella Mae, Edna Lousie and I got together. As you know, we hadn't seen each other since September 30, 1955, the day Jimmy Dean died. You remember the heartbreak Mona (Sandy Dennis) suffered that day — she was the president of the local Disciples of James Dean club — and how she Come Back to the 5 and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean Directed by Robert Altman Playing at the Bay promptly announced and believed that she was carrying his child. Seeing her 20 years later was interesting to say the least; we were quite close once, but Sept. 30 changed all that. Only today did I realize it was your idea to put up a sign on the highway announcing the birth of Jimmy Dean Jr. I understand they made you mayor for that illustrious act. As for Sissy (Cher), well, she's anxious about trying out with the Ice Capades, even though she only knows roller skating. Sissy's a pillar, a complete contrast to Mona, who suffers from airs almost as much as Scarlet O'Hara. All three of us ressurected our MacGuire Sisters act. Everyone of us has his or her — but mostly her — skeletons in the proverbial closet, and some have more than others. If you 've seen Boys in the Band, you 'II know what I'm talking about. Everyone gets together for what is supposed to be a happy occassion, and then spills his or her guts and acts super-bitchy until there is nothing left but truths. Not just the truth, but The Truth. It's pretty hokey, and you wouldn't think much of what we said if that was the only aspect of the evening. We were all stuck in therefor 110 minutes, but the time passed quickly. And I believe if anyone had had the pleasure to see us, the wouldn't have felt claustrophobic (chalk one up for the big guy, Robert Altman, who was with us in spirit all the way). Five minutes into our story, you would have felt completely taken with our plights; you would have seen expert flashbacks which were done without any optical printing — all captured on film in super 16mm and then blown up to 35mm for commercial release. DENNIS, CHER, BLACK ... the MacGuire Sisters come alive, sincerely Adderley lacks emotional appeal By CHRIS WONG References to Nat Adderley as "CannonbalFs brother" have been commonplace throughout his prolific jazz career. Even after the untimely death of his talented brother in 1975, Adderley has had to struggle to make a name for himself and to escape the shadow of his sibling. At the Commodore ballroom Monday night, Adderley demonstrated his talents and abilities to an extremely sparse crowd of Vancouver jazz lovers. His playing avoided free, or avente-garde sty lings. Instead, he drew on a blues base to give simple and pleasant sounds. That may be the problem with his music — it's almost too nice. Although Adderley overflows with energy and vitality, his playing is too fluffy and corny. His music lacks sincere emotion. The best sounds of the evening came from pianist Larry Willis. In the tradition of sensitive pianists such as Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, Willis combined a delicate touch, with original harmonic ideas. Willis played slow-building and varied solos on every tune. He gave the audience the sense that every note counted, and made them feel he was not just providing obligatory solos. His talents as a composer were also revealed when he played several of his own tunes. Alto saxophonist Sonny Fortune created interesting sounds through his exciting and tension-filled solos. Fortune had an opposite approach to Willis. Instead of a gradual and subtle build-up in his solos, they were climactic throughout. At the heights of his playing, he wailed and screeched into a wild frenzy, particularily during the standard Autumn Leaves. But the rhythm section behind him was at times unbalanced. While Willis and drummer Jimmy Cobb of Miles Davis fame provided solid backing, bassist Walter Booker got carried away with cute swooshing and sliding on the bass. The only effect of his devices was to give an air of melodrama to the music. But as Adderley repeatedly told the audience, for the most part Booker and his sidekicks were "marvellous," "great," and "multi-talented." Who says bandleaders are modest? Bech's back with sweets By MARK ATTISHA In his latest novel, Bech Is Back, John Updike seems to be flexing his literary muscles. The world of Henry Bech is like hitherto unshared sweets. Bech Is Back By John Updike Alfred A. Knopf 195 pages, $18.25 Henry Bech is a lovable author who convinces himself to write after a 15 year abstention; even the National Enquirer had forgotten him but now he's on top again. Bech is a many of various energies: a hopelessly nihilistic an Jewish campus hero (a flashback to Eliot's Prufrock) and a household word obsessed with Kafka, Sands, Flaubert, hunger artists and finding safe places. Bech "had been cast by life into a role it amused him not quite to fill," Updike tells us. The Novel begins with the suicide of Bech's narcissism. Bech visits his greatest fan, Federbusch, "like a God descending," and shatters the myth that connected the two. After a failed attempt at realizing his talent, he signs his identity away on an all-expenses-paid Caribbean vacation. Superbooks pays him $1.50 per signature on 28,000copies of a special edition of his novel, Brother Pig. Bech wings it to the Third World, Australia and Canada — a travelogue that would make Graham Greene proud. Eventually Bech descends into goyim to wed. Travels to Israel and Scotland find him and his Episcopalian wife loving each other's country rather than their own. Their love for each other reluctantly grows. Retreating to a silver-lined cham- bre in his newly acquired suburbia, Bech begins to write a book titled Think Big. His characters — "bits of furniture from his life" — have all the realism of Vonnegut's Kilgore Trout. Although Bech's wife persuaded him to write, she hates the book. She wants to call it Jews and Those Awful Others. Think Big, of course, is a smash success. And so, Bech Is Back. Updike has created a wholly believable character who is seemingly his own antithesis. Updike is 100 per cent Wasp (he ,was once a Lutheran deacon) and very prolific (26 books to date). His most recent work, Rabbit is Rich, won the 1982 Pulitzer prize for fiction. Updike can, however, appreciate Bech's frustrations, including the isolation that notoriety begets, aging past 50, and the inclination to grab images from the real world and hide them in the cerebral one rather than immortalize them on paper. Bech will certainly be remembered alongside such literary characters as Babbitt, Rosewater and Garp. All you may have heard about us was completely false; some of these daily guys still think they're writing for television (or at least a television audience). We were a much more entertaining bunch, and very lively too; you know about my past, not to mention your own. We gave exemplary performances, and we all promised to get back together again in 20 years. Edna Louise, who even bought a new outfit for this get- together, said she would remind us annually. We talked about ourselves — but we'd like to discuss you more. We can't quite figure out how much you believed in God; this has a direct bearing on whether we think you're in heaven or hell now. 1 think it's hell, but Juanita, who was always blind about you, thinks otherwise. I've changed, Sidney. You would probably like me more now. Sincerely, Joe/Joanna Brutal punks not dead on arrival By CHRIS WONG Strange creatures displaying mowhawk haircuts, leather jackets, and army boots invaded SUB ballroom Friday night as Vancouver's top punk band D.O.A. made a triumphant return to UBC. Euro-discoites were nowhere to be seen as the local punk community took centre stage. Several unruly audience members literally took to the stage by jumping on to it. Vocalist, guitarist, and lead contortionist Joey Shithead propelled the band with material from their eight song E.P. and from their earlier releases which spawned some truly classic punk times. Shithead has a sardonic aura about himself. He combines manic movements of his eyes, head, and body, with vocal chords which sound like they've been rinsed daily with lighter fluid. His voice alone is enough to ignite the band and crowd. When he was not thrashing guitar licks and crunching vocals, guitarist Dave Gregg acrobatically tried to escape the clutches of the over- enthusiastic mutants at the foot of the stage. Bassist Brian Goble, also known as Wimpy Roy, stood firmly at the side providing solid bass lines, while drummer Dimwit was intimidating. Dark glasses and tattoos covered his arms, flailing furiously at the drum kit. Together this motley crew produced a surprisingly tight and consistent show. The theme of war, both on and off the stage, gave the performance continuity. While D.O.A. provided musical blitzkrieg on stage, the dance-floor was an all-out battleground of slam-dancers and dive-bombers doused in a spray of spit. And blood also spilled as one member of the crowd nearly had an eye gouged. The band best demonstrated their broadened musical and social consciousness through songs deal- ingwith war. Most noteable were the tunes War, Class War and War In The East which concern the horrors, frustrations and divisions caused by war. But to balance, D.O.A. also played songs of a lighter nature. One such song was the tune, Let's Fuck. The Braineaters and Los Popularos opened for D.O.A. The Braineaters played an uninspiring and truly forgetable set of incoherent r amblings. Los Popularos were a definite improvement. Art Bergmann of Young Canadiens fame anchored the band with his driving work on the guitar. But the vocals of the group were at times cluttered and flat. Perhaps they should borrow some of Shithead's lighter fluid. r Rockabilies blast V. By JACK TIELEMAN Four, three, two, one, blast off. That was the feeling from the Blasters concert at the Commodore ballroom March 10. The high energy rockabilly band from Los Angeles had the dance floor packed and bopping all night long. The seven piece band provided energetic rockabilly tunes keening the entire floor and several aisles full of seaty, dancing bodies, The highlight of the show was the lead singer and rhythm guitarist Phil Alvin. He has a grin that would put the Cheshire cat to shame. The pair of saxophonists which appeared after the band's first song were a pleasant surprise. Phil's brother Dave on lead guitar was also a treat to listen to as he manipulated his stratocaster guitar beyond standard rockabilly chords. But manipulating was also done by Phil Alvin who made a few people wonder why they were ever there. Several times he referred to the $11.75 ticket price and told the crowd they paid an excessive amount. Maybe he was right as one member of the audience said, "I guess I expected too much." Of course the ticket price included a warm up act, Wailin Walker and the Houserockers. This hard-driving trio performed a tight set, playing old favorites such as Matchbox by Carl Perkins. Page 4 THE UBYSSEY T-Birds last in conference Friday, March 18,1983 A last place finish in the Canada West conference does not take away from a satisfying season for the UBC Thunderbirds ice hockey team. The Thunderbirds have ended the past two seasons well, but more importantly, they have noticeably improved this past season over last. Their half-season records tell the story. After starting off with a dismal 1-11 record last year, UBC rebounded with a respectable 5-7 mark in the second half. This year, the team had a 7-5 second half record after a lacklustre 2-10 start. "Part of it is because we have a young team," coach Moores said. "Half of the players are rookies." The 'Birds finished their season with an impressive two game sweep over the Alberta Golden Bears in Edmonton during the last weekend of February. They followed a 7-5 overtime victory in Friday's game with a 4-2 win Saturday. "The overtime game lifted our spirts," Moores said. "They televised the game, so we got to watch it the next afternoon. That kind of motivated the players. "Then on Saturday, we played a very sound hockey game and led all the way. It felt good to beat them."

Friday, March 18, 1983 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 Carmen captivates audience By KERRY REGIER The Vancouver Opera Association's production of Bizet's Carmen unifies first-rate direction and acting with some very fine singing. It is possibly the finest current stage production anywhere in Vancouver. Carmen By Georges Bizet at the Queen Elizabeth Theater Until March 19 Victoria Vergara's interpretation of Carmen is unusual because it portrays her as an intelligent woman whose principal interest is PANGO PANGO (UNS) — Hairy puce blorgs on this tiny island community sat in awe as the giant Amalgamated Media Services debated the future of the Island newspaper The Daily Blah. In meeting upon meeting (blorgs actually like to meet), the AMS discussed its favorie paper. "Ooh, unhhh, diddy doo-waddle," said Blah spokesblorg Armhold Hamstring, in attempt to help committee members understand the Daily Blah's staff proposal. Blah staffers Brawn Bones and Haig Crooks valiantly supported Hamstring, until all blorgs present realized they did not know what they were discussing, and the meeting adjourned. AMS blorgs were last caught deciding when to schedule a meeting to discuss the following meeting. not brutish lust — as in most modern interpretations — but power. Even in her first brief encounter with Don Jose, Carmen's delight in control is evident as she briefly performs for him, hypnotically swaying like a cobra until she knows Jose is under her command. Then she releases and forgets Jose, throwing a flower at him with a laugh, as if to get him out of her way. To the end, Vergara's powerful megalomaniac Carmen firmly believes in her own ability to manipulate. Even as she admits in the final scene that she knows Jose will kill her, she begins to speak of herself imperiously in the third person, faintly echoing Napoleon's Act of Abdication. And as she brushes past Jose as if he were an annoying insect, she receives his fatal stab not with a cry of pain, but a grunt of surprise..

His singing is equally good, only mildly expressive in the true modern manner and without much sense of bel canto, but smooth-toned and strong. Most of the other cast sang and acted well, although Richard Clark's Escamillo was grossly disfigured by machine-gun vibrato, wooden swaggering and an embarrassingly unvarying grin. But without doubt, stage director Cynthia Auerbach deserves acclaim for imaginative blocking and witty use of children. One particularly admirable moment corners Don Jose alone while the crowd gathers in Act I. Jose enteres very quietly, almost unnoticed in the general wild merrymaking. He proceeds to hold his rifle upright between his legs and cleans it with repeated stroking motions. Unfortunately Carmen is in French, but we are all bilingual in Canada, aren't we?

Page 6 THE UBYSSEY Friday, March 18, 1983 Unknown federation Is it fair to kick the Canadian student movement when it is down? We want to say the Canadian Federation of Students should be trashed. And from one end of the country to the other many student unions and students are saying the same thing through popular referendums. CFS lost its bid to gain the University of Victoria as members, and in Halifax, St. Mary's University voted to drop its membership. When CFS wins, it's by low margins. It's greatest successes are on small campuses that don't provide the dollars necessary to support CFS. And then there are campuses, like UBC, where for a good reason there haven't even been membership votes taken. The reason is they would lose in the current anti-CFS climate sweeping the country. But we can't support abandoning the organization, even if it deserves to be. To do that would be to ignore a very important concept — a national voice working for students. And ultimately, condemning CFS is the same as condemning our own student union because CFS is only composed of student unions. CFS's problems are not much different from the problems with the Alma Mater Society student council. Both try to be diplomatic and push for changes in tive. education policy through negotiation and lobbying. That is fine. But unlike a corporation, students' lobbying interests can't provide a political payback. The student movement can't deliver the votes which politicians are looking for. It doesn't even have enough money to bribe those in the political system. The student movement is presently without active power. Instead the power inherent in the student movement is dormant. It's asleep in the libraries and cafeterias of the nation's campuses. It is in front of textbooks or sitting at home in front of the television. Students are really what give power to the student movement. A major flaw of student leaders is their lack of effort to wake up students and provide them with the political viewpoint that supports the movement and gives it power. Politicizing students means more than telling them they will pay higher fees and get less money for student jobs from government. Don't lobby. Rebel. The attacks on education go beyond the day to day economic concerns of students. Governments seek more and more to control our lives and the high tech emphasis of our institutes and absurdly specialized training we get gives students less freedom. Canada needs a strong student movement to fight current trends and it needs the support of campuses and students if it is going to get the power to be effec- Pornography defined, historically and otherwise By JAN REGAN Historically pornography has been the writing or telling about whores, who have performed for men what they could not ask their wives or women friends to perform. Prostitutes in ancient Greece were lower in status even than slaves. As such they were subjected to the whim of any man. Eroticism, on the other hand, comes from the Greek word eros, or passionate love, which is the blending of body and spirit in the sexual act. Today there are many definitions of pornography as people try to include what is harmful but exclude the healthy aspects of representations of sexual behavior. I would like you to consider the following definitions: Pornography is a presentation or representation, whether live, simulated, verbal, pictorial, formed, video-taped or otherwise represented, of sexual perspectives! behavior in which one or more participants are coerced overtly or implicitly into participation, or are injured or abused psychologically, physically, or in which an imbalance of power is obvious or implied by virtue of the immature age of any participants or by contextual aspects of the presentation, and in which such behaviour can be taken to be advocated or endorsed. Pornography is, by definition, harmful. Not only to those who view it, but to people who necessarily must be in contact with its users. Because of its harmful nature, and because it does not reach for the ideal of human dignity which this university holds as a principle, I believe pornography should not be for sale in the campus bookstore which is an official instrument of the university administration because this implies the administration's advocation of pornography. When any one suggests removing material from availability the liberal-minded among us balk. Isn't that censorship? Well, let's examine censorship and the liberal ideal in our society. The liberal ideal is that there should be no censorship. But when we look around, many minorities in our society have spoken out successfully against the spread of lies about them in all forms of media. People of Negroid descent spoke out against the Uncle Tom image of slaves being happy in their submissive position in society. Now it is accepted that these people have a right to enjoy the same measure of human dignity as those who once held them as slaves. It is against liberal intuition to say that these demands for personal and collective dignity infringe on the right of others to freedom of speech and action. When women say that material that presents them as always submissive to men, always deriving the utmost sexual pleasure simply by doing whatever any man wants tell lies about how women really feel, why is it that the liberals feel bold enough to shout censhorship? Producers of pornography admit that market research tells them men like best to see a woman kneeling in front of them performing felatio and that this is a reaction to the move of women towards equality. Men don't want women to be equal. Some people would argue that pornography is just fantasy with little or no bearing on the ralation- ships between women and men. If we really believe that the material that people read has no effect on the way they think and act we would not spend so much money on education every year. The effects THE UBYSSEY March 18, 1983 The Ubyssey is published Tuesday and Friday through the university year by the Alma Mater Society of the University of B.C.

In closing I would like to say that I am suspicious of an industry that forces its wares on people. Where corner grocers must carry the skin magazines or they won't be able to carry the news magazines. With skepticism the password of our times, I ask you to consider: Does anyone have the right to continue to display and sell magazines that teach that women are submissive objects when our society rejects the sale of magazines that depict other groups in submissive or degrading positions? Even if there is a small chance that these magazines are adding to the violence and disregard for other human beings that makes women afraid to walk any street in Vancouver alone at night, doesn't it make sense to examine this whole issue more closely, more openly? Who wins and who loses if we have pornography for sale in the campus bookstore? Who wins and who loses if we don't? The stakes on one side are human, on the other side they are cold, hard cash. It doesn't take a giant leap to guess where that money goes. Jan Regan is a third year arts student who supports the ad hoc committee for bookstore accoduntabili- ty's anti-pornography drive. Matters cleared up in controversy The Ubyssey was given copies of graduate council's minutes weeks ago, with the facts highlighted as evidence contrary to the allegations being made by Godwin Eni in his verbal campaign. Although the personal allegations printed obscure the major issues facing the Graduate Student Society, it is necessary to put some of the graduate Council's decisions on the public record. Eni's resignation as president occurred subsequent to council's request: "Moved Brian Thomas, seconded Laura Lee, that the president be asked to resign. Carried." (Jan. 27), and "Moved Penny Jones, seconded Don Jones, that the resignation of Godwin Eni as president not be received. Defeated." (Feb. 3). Eni's resignation as returning officer is recorded: "Resolved that council ask Godwin to fulfill his obligation as elections officer." (Feb. 3). "Godwin Eni has resigned as elections officer." (Feb. 10). Council's opinion on the falsification of signatures is: "Moved by Francisco Cabanas seconded by Frank Heijmans that the council accept the fact that the signatures on the nomination forms of Robert Gordon and Jan Mennell were falsified and therefore their nominations are in question. Carried." (Feb. 3). (The signatures were not in Godwin's normal handwriting and were intended to deceive the returning officer,by appearing as the facsimile of another.) No information was given by Eni to the returning officer: "The only time I approached anybody was on the first day of the poll." says Robert Gordon, "The only conversation that took place was regarding polling procedures and security." I did not accept a nomination for the presidency: "John Davies wished it recorded that he has no interest in the presidency of the society, or in the position director." (Feb. 3). of executive Eni acted to hire myself as executive director last year: "Moved Godwin Eni seconded Jennifer Sydenham that the position of executive director, as described, be created and posted immediately for hiring within 4-6 weeks at the discretion of the executive committee and subject to the approval of funds in the budget. Carried." (June 3, 1982). "Selections Committee Report. Moved Jennifer Sydenham seconded Penny Jones that the recommendations be adopted." (June 16/82). "That the society invite John Allan Davies to continue to act on a temporary basis at this time and for a period of three months as executive director, after which time negotiations with the university may have progressed to a point of decision for a perma- nent position of executive director." Signed, Godwin Eni. My final report to Council was received by the Secretary Nov. 28, 1982. Space does not permit further historical information or discussion of the implications of Eni's failure to implement badly needed financial and inventory controls during his term of office, and his success in making illegal disbursements, hiring, and firings of both executive directors who attempted to remedy the deficit and the control problems inherited from the previous university board. John Allan Davies grad studies r Grad students losers In the past week a number of articles have appeared in The Ubyssey, the subject of which has been a controversy over the elections involving the graduate students association. I find it most unfortunate that the main issue has degenerated to one of personalities embroiled in a power struggle. In such a fight, graduate students as a body cannot win. In the meantime, the welfare of the graduate student centre is placed in jeopardy. I would like to use this letter to launch an appeal to ail graduate students to ensure that you have proper representation oa the graduate student council. If you pay graduate student fees and/or utilize the services of the centre, you should make sure that you have the proper number of representatives for your department, that these representatives attend council meetings, and that they represent your interests and those of the centre. I would also ike to take ttus opportunity to thank all the students who voted for me in the election held last week. If my name becomes embroiled in the controversy and I am viewed as being per- tisan, then I am willing to step down. However, I am prepared to do this oaly if the graduate student population is r#operry represented in the decision-making process. Unless we take responsibility and operate in the interests of the centre and of graduate students as a whole, then we should request the university to operate hi trusteeship for us. AHcja Muszynski graduate student Friday, March 18, 1983 THE UBYSSEY Page 7 Letters Athletes awesome, fer shure Congrats T-Birds, you were awesome! I am referring of course, to the varsity men's and women's volleyball teams that put on absolutely outstanding performances last weekend at the Canadian University Athletic Union national championships. The tournament was well worth watching. Though it was the viewing of the volleyball tournament that prompted me to write this letter, I would like to bring to the reader's attention the numerous successful athletic teams at UBC. The football, women's field hockey, women's gymnastics and men's volleyball teams all won their respective CIAU championships. The rugby team has only lost one game to date and the varsity women's volleyball team took third place in the CIAU championships. The women's curling team and the men's track team both won Canada west championships, and many other teams and individuals were outstanding and successful in their own right. I find these results quite impressive. The majority of these athletes carry full academic course loads, yet they still find the time and dedication to practise a minimum of eight to 10 hours per week.

Yet, this does not seem to be enough. People are still very quick to criticise a team that does not have a winning season. What more can be expected from these athletes? It is not from a lack of effort on their part if they do not come out on top of every single game. Considering that The Ubyssey is a newspaper written by the students for the students, there should be far more awareness of and recognition given to the athletes of UBC. It would be nice to pick up a copy of The Ubyssey and read a meaningful or interesting article on even one single sports event, rather than just a report on the score. I am sure such an article would not take away too much space from any of the intellectual articles written on racism, sexism or religion that we all seem to enjoy so much. It is high time we stop condemning the athletes for their losses and start giving them some well deserved praise for their hard work. To all you team members out there, thank you and congratulations for a job well done.

But two other referenda held with the annual student society elections passed with wide margins. Students voted to urge the university administration to drop investments with banks and companies involved in South Africa and to join the B.C. Public Interest Faculty settle after long negotiation By CRAIG BROOKS After 12 months of negotiation, finally reached agreement with the university administration for 1982-83. Association president Jonathan Wisenthal said Thursday the faculty association agreed late Saturday to a six per cent increase effective June 1, 1982 and an additional half a per cent starting Jan. 1. Up to an additional three per cent is for "career advancement," Wisenthal said. An original arbitrated wage settlement of nine per cent, plus the optional three per cent career advancement, was rejected in Sept- member by provincial compensation stabilization commissioner Ed Peck. Wisenthal said he was "fairly optimistic" about faculty members ratifying it. "I'm not the slightest bit worried." Since the mediator involved was from Peck's office, provincial government approval should be straight forward, he said. "Peck has indicated to us it will be approved (this time)," Wisenthal said. The negotiations would have gone to arbitration Sunday morning had the parties not agreed Saturday. Peck rejected the original settlement, saying the arbitrator had failed to consider the ability of the university to pay. Between the time arbitrator Richard Holmes handed down his ruling and Peck's ruling, UBC's budget was cut $6 million as part of the provincial restraint program. A faculty association appeal of Peck's rejection was subsequently denied. "The faculty association has taken the view that we need a settlement within the university's ability to pay," Wisenthal said. "We recognize the financial strain put on the university." "Faculty members are accustomed to low wage settlements," Wisenthal said, citing 5.75 and 8.6 per cent increases from 1978 to 1981. The faculty association begins bargaining for the 1983-84 contract April 1. Wisenthal said the association will "have to see" what the provincial government's increases to UBC's operating grant is before it formulates a position. Wisenthal said the recent federal government announcement that funding transfers to B.C. for health and post-secondary education would increase by eight per cent next year should make the government change its policy of freezing university funding at the current level next year. Research Group. The CFS referendum lost by a count of 860 to 831. But student council presidentelect Brian Stevenson has already vowed to work toward another referendum in the fall. "It was a 50-50 vote and that's not reliable," Stevenson said. CFS national chair Brenda Cote, who came to Victoria the day before the vote, said she is disappointed with the results. "It's really negative that students couldn't join, but in some way it was expected because of the lack of campaigning," said Cote. "If we can pull off the spring campaign (against education cutbacks) successfully with UVic students participating, then I am sure we can win another referendum." Cote said the current CFS campaign will show UVic students that the national student organization —aliaon hoana photo HYDER HOW YOU DOING? - asks student proudly proclaiming something about Alaska.

Agent left after discovering Tory club on campus had largest political club membership, saying "Ronald Reagan would be considered a liberal on this campus." can unify students across the country. With a vote of 897 to 776 students decided to pay $5 to join B.C. PIRG. UVic joined Simon Fraser University as members. In contrast to the CFS defeat, B.C. PIRG attributed their success to grassroots organizing and person to person contact. The referendum to get the UVic administration to stop investing university funds in South Africa passed 1, 091 to 566 but it carries no power. The results will be referred to the board of governors. CFS has had even more trouble in the East. At St. Mary's University in Halifax, students voted 69 per cent to drop CFS membership. Just a year earlier SMU voted 78 per cent in favor of membership to become the first CFS member. At press time the votes were being counted at the University of Toronto on a CFS referendum. Senate volleys gears to board By STEPHEN WISENTHAL Tennis anyone? The four year engineering program which was served by senate and returned by the board of governors is now back in the board's court after Wednesday night's senate meeting. Senate returned the program unchanged and said the board shouldn't meddle in academic matters. "It is very clear that academic government has been the responsibility of the senate," said Commerce Dean Peter Lusztig. "I am very disturbed to see this matter back here on academic grounds," he said. But administration president Doug Kenny said the board's reasons for the decision included concerns about high school students who might not be prepared for the program and curriculum curtailment. Science dean Cy Finnegan said he had opposed the original motion sent to the board but he thought the program should be returned unchanged because the board's rejection was based on academic grounds. "It does seem to me that the board of governors has, with the best of intentions, exceeded its powers," said Arts Faculty representative Jonathan Wisenthal. Chancellor J. V. Clyne tried to get members of senate to discuss their decision on the program, but not the board's actions. "The board was concerned as to whether we were damaging these young people ... I would like to see the senate reconsider (the motion)," said Clyne. The senate passed almost unanimously a motion returning the proposal to the board. Applied Sciences Dean Wedepohl asked it be recorded he abstained from the vote. Senate passed a motion asking universities' minister Pat McGeer not to introduce changes to the university act until senate and all other interested parties have considered them. "We have been able to determine what proposals will come for certain," said Senate university act committee chair Anthony Hickling. * * » Senate received an outline of how the academic priorities subcommittee of the senate budget committee is progressing. The outline covered general ideas about the role of universities and a second section covered the specific role of UBC. Quebec law ignored MONTREAL (CUP) — When Quebec teachers suspended their strike and returned to their classrooms Feb. 21, Dawson sociology teacher Peter Sinclair refused to follow. He says he won't return until the PQ government retracts Law 111, the back-to-work legislation that has created a storm of protest in Quebec. The law, designed to end an illegal strike by teachers, doubles fines for strikers, unions and their executives and threatens mass firings and loss of seniority for teachers continuing to strike. The law also suspends rights guaranteed under the Quebec and Canadian human rights charters. Sinclair told the Dawson student newspaper, the Plant, that by refusing to return to work he is committing an act of civil disobedience and is asserting his right to protest an unjust law. Controversial UVic professor resigns post VICTORIA (CUP) — A University of Victoria economics professor who placed advertisements to get women to model and then allegedly sexually harassed them resigned Monday. UVic president Howard Petch accepted Ezra Mishan's resignation and another professor is now teaching his courses. In a five page letter dated March 9, Mishan stated his intention to resign, "unless the university authorities are able to give . . . assurance that my name will not appear in any future issues of the Martlet, the Emily or any other student publication, poster or letter." Petch said the university had no way of meeting his demand. "If he's resigned, he's resigned," Petch said. In December, posters and stories in campus newspapers warned women not roancAv<"-the :lassif.-;j advertisement because Mishan could be dangerous. Just before Mishan's resignation another student told the Martlet that in October she had been harassed and held captive by Mishan. "He started touching me all over and in an objectionable manner," said the student who wishes to remain anonymous. "It was upsetting and frightening. I wanted to go right then. I asked him to leave the room so I could dress. "He wouldn't leave me alone. He kept holding on to me and I began to cry. In the state I was in at that V Tory Tory Tory Backstabbing and infighting is alive and well in the UBC Progressive Conservative club. A battle is brewing in the ISO-member club, as delegates to the Tory leadership convention are about to be chosen. The club is split along three lines of support according to party members. Most members support either Brian Mulroney or Peter Blaikie. Only a few support Joe Clarke. Club membership has swollen from the normal 50 or so members, due to the upcoming delegate choke, according to club vice- president Jeff Kuwica. Youth delegates to the party's June convention will make up about one-third of the total votes. point his hold prevented me from doing anything. He kept me a half an hour after I insisted I wanted to go." The woman said she finally contacted the Martlet because she wanted to get him away from the university so her experience wouldn't happen to other women. In his resignation letter, Mishan admits to having stirred controversy with his "sculpting activities" at previous universities. "Over the past 10 years, while teaching at universities in some of the smaller U.S. towns, I have been subjected (by models) to foul abuse, to threats to smash the windows, several (models) have wept uncontrollably, some have stamped out in fury, some have tried seduction, and on more than one occasion, I have been sexually assaulted in the crudest way," wrote Mishan. ^ Page 10 THE UBYSSEY Htofti Phoenix Jazzera: dixieland.

Friday, March 18,1983 THE UBYSSEY Page 11 Bigsoc plays same role in rerun By CARY RODIN The bigsoc has changed, but UBC film society problems continue to foul the club's operations. Despite the election of a new executive Thursday, filmsoc is still divided. New chair Karen Kristensen has pledged to bring the club together. "There is still misunderstanding in the club. I'm going to try to settle that," she said. The club members were divided on the $3,300 film production Bond and the issue of weighted voting, which gives filmsoc executive and Subfilm staff extra votes. Alan Pinkney, Alma Mater Society administration director, told the 40 members the weighted voting scheme is illegal under AMS rules. "Only one vote per person," he said. After heated debate, the motion to continue production of Bond was narrowly passed 16 to 13. "A lot of money got put into Bond that didn't represent the interests of everyone in the club," said three-year club member Mike Werth. Pinkney, who chaired the meeting, berated the executive about the previous format of the club's minutes. "The minutes read like a creative script with considerable amounts of profanity, without saying what was going on. Let's forget everything before today and start from scratch," he said. But animosity among club members appears to make prospects for a settlement remote. Some filmsoc members remain skeptical of the new executive. "I don't believe the new constitution will solve the split," said club member Josephine Massarella. "I approached three new executives after the meeting and none of them will speak to me. A lot of us are frustrated. I don't know what else we can do." But Pinkney, who served more as a peace officer than a chair, said he remains optimistic. "The tension still exists, but I'm hoping the framework now exists for filmsoc to solve their problems." Internal issues are not the only problems plaguing filmsoc. The AMS ombudsoffice is investigating the club and will present a final report to council Wednesday, om- budsperson Gray McMullen said Thursday. The investigation was prompted by allegations of "wrong doings" by club members, said AMS finance director James Hollis.

Pool pushes plan UBC Aquatic centre manager Jim Bremner needs a wishing pond instead of a swimming pool. Bremner has a dream to expand the Aquatic centre to include an outdoor mezzanine complete with hot tubs, a 60 seat freeform whirlpool, a solarium, barbeque pits and other modifications to the existing building. "I think it (the expansion) will enhance student's lives, will make the Aquatic centre more attractive and may generate revenue for the university," he said. The centre has a architect's drawings but there are no plans for funding the proposal. "The plan is still a long way off, it's three four, or five years down the road before anything happens, if it happens," said Bremner. Before the centre asks for money they are looking for comments, he said. "We are not at the stage where we are looking at funding yet," Bremner said. The plans are on display in the upper floor mezzanine and a comment book is located at the cashiers desk.
