THE UBYSSEY Vol. LXVIII, No. 7 Vancouver, B.C. Tuesday, October 1,1985 ®<*5Sgb6> 228-2301 Efficiency survey angers unions By STEPHEN WISENTHAL An efficiency review by American firm Ritchie and Associates covering most of the non-academic activities at UBC has probably already cost over $1.5 million, according to a Canadian University Employees union official at UBC. Ted Byrne, CUE union coordinator, said he learned from a UBC finance office source the firm, which has been studying UBC campus for six months to find ways to cut costs, had already been paid $1.4 million a month ago. He said the lack of information and potential layoffs associated with the survey were of great concern at a union meeting last Thurs day attended by 200 members. "We discussed the possibility of work to rule as a reaction," said Byrne. "The meeting was very much in favour of that kind of response." A Sept. 16 memo from UBC acting administration president Robert Smith to the university community about the activities of the company said "Ritchie's fees are a fixed amount" but added "the contract also specifies that Ritchie guarantees the University will recoup in the first year following system installation, annualized savings at least equal to their fees. Byrne questioned this guarantee, referring to a Sept. 23 statement by Jeff Rose, Canadian Union of Public Employees national president which asked if the firm is "being paid fees based partly on the savings they recommend." "If so what guarantee is there that Ritchie and Associates will behave with professional detatchment in assessing potential areas of savings, instead of as bounty hunters?" asked Rose. Byrne said if the university spends $2-3 million on the firm's services, which he expects, the savings will probably come in layoffs. He added the university should have looked to its own management resources including UBC's large commerce faculty for the study. "This didn't need a large American company," he said. CUE president Kitty Byrne agreed the university was ignoring its own resources. "What are they saying about their own management when they do something like this" she asked. Don Russell, UBC associate vice president academic, said the firm, which is recommending changes to some of the areas he looks after, was a useful tool. "It's really a question of 'how do you get advice?' and not everyone's going to agree on the answers," he said. "I think everyone would agree if you're cutting back you'd want to use a certain amount of judgement." He cited audio-visual services, a section which was looked at for three months from June to two weeks ago, as a successful effort by Ritchie. A-V employee Ross Nelson said appropriate changes were made by the firm. "They spent their time here and I think it was very thorough activity," he said. "It allowed us to give a new perspective on our operating system. Lynn Copeland, a librarian - analyst at the library processing centre, said her department is being investigated by Ritchie and "the ef fect on the staff is terrible." "The best staff are getting physically sick from the stress of dealing with these people," she said, adding some people are spending as little as one hour a day on their regular work, devoting the remaining time to dealing with the consultants. Copeland said Ritchie and Associates has no previous library experience and is neglecting the real requirements of a library. "I'm concerned about people losing jobs but I'm also concerned about the quality of library services," she said. "The approach they're taking neglects the overall goals of the library and the university." She said the detailed time and motion studies done by the firm are 30 years out of date. "As far as management theory goes, I knew that it was an outmoded study," she said. She added she agreed with the idea of efforts to improve work practices. "I understand that from the financial point of view they are gathering information (UBC financial vice president Bruce) Gellatly needs to manage the university," she said. "I really don't have any quarrel with the need to operate more efficiently." Donors deterred AT A SOLEMN ceremony held yesterday, the body of the late, great Charley the tuna was freeze dried and placed on display outside a local restaurant. "It needs hands," an Expo official said. "If you can make one three hundred feet high and capable of holding a hockey stick, we'll buy it. We don't want sculpture with good taste. We want sculpture that tastes good." By SARAH MILLIN The Red Cross distributes a pamphlet on acquired immunity deficency syndrome to UBC students before they donate blood. "They're supposed to read it (the pamphlet) before they go in to donate", said a Red Cross technician who asked not to be named. Susan Epp, a nurse at the blood donor clinic in SUB said "the pamphlet has been with us for a couple of weeks". It contains information about what AIDS is, who is likely to get AIDS and where to get information, she said. "One thing I have to say about CUSU branded elitist by some universities By RICHARD SANDHURST Canadian University Press EDMONTON (CUP) — Lack of direction and a constitution that limits membership to big universities have made some student unions think twice about joining the Canadian Universities Student Union. "Although the majority of campuses felt they needed a national network, they didn't think our constitution was the way to do it," said Gayle Morris, one of three student representatives assigned to sell CUSU to Canadian Universities. CUSU's proposed constitution limits membership to institutions with at least 7500 students, disqualifying smaller universities and colleges. "I don't think they will be very representative of the students of this country," said Michael Sunley, Canadian Federation of Students Manitoba board representative. CUSU is the brainchild of University of Alberta Student Union president Mike Nickel, who said he isn't surprised some people think CUSU would be an elitist organization. The U of A dropped out of CFS last spring. "We are talking about an organization to represent major universities' interests," Nickel said. "The minimum enrollment requirement is there to keep the constitution from being undermined by smaller universities." Barbara Donaldson, chair of the Canadian Federation of Students, said she had heard that the whole CUSU scheme had been called off. But not before Nickel had flown representatives from several university student councils to Edmonton, recently, at student expense, to discuss the plan. "I have a lot of problems with this," Sunley said. "Although there are specific concerns of large institutions, I don't think this is the way to do it. It's unwise for an organization to start off in a discriminatory fashion." Nickel said CUSU wants to avoid a voting structure like CFS's which he thinks is unfair to larger universities. "One of the problems with CFS is that there is no differentiation between size and voting power," Nickel said. Nickel said CUSU is not trying to compete with CFS, but was unsure what the relationship between the two organisations would be. "We're still trying to work that out," Nickel said. "We will not turn away CFS members, but the level of discussion will have to be determined. We won't rule out cooperation if it will benefit students." Unlike CFS, CUSU would be a forum exclusively for student union executives. Nickel said CUSU would promote cooperation on post- secondary education issues between the federal and provincial governments but would avoid any political discussions.- Deaf students funded The Ministry of Labour has finally agreed to provide the $161,000 necessary to hire interpreters for twelve deaf UBC students. The Ubyssey has learned that Labour Minister Terry Segraty will be making an announcement today concerning the much needed funds. Since the beginning of September the deaf students have had to rely on other students' lecture notes and textbooks to understand what is happening in their classes. Funding for interpreters who would attend lectures with deaf students had not come through until today. Henry Vlug, a UBC law graduate was involved in last fall's struggle when a $20,000 grant for deaf interpreters was cut. Vlug, also a member of the Greater Vancouver Association for the Deaf, is relieved that the deaf students will now get the assistance they need, but said, "What the hell took so long?" The minister of labour said he will be holding a meeting today with his staff to make a final decision on the request for aid to pay for the deaf interpreters. The labour ministry came through in December 84 with funding to cover the rest of that school year but made no permanent long term arrangements. The ministry would not comment on why there has been a delay. their pamphlet is that they fail to say how it (AIDS) is transmitted", said Ken Anderlini, former president of Gays and Lesbians of UBC. "It's ignorant", he added. "Rather than going to one of the • groups on their list for more information, your local AIDS group has much more up to date information", said Anderlini. In addition to the pamphlet, the donor clinic distributes a typed note Stating the Red Cross only uses sterile needles and only uses them -once. Research has revealed AIDS is linked to the use of dirty needles. At present students decide for themselves if they should donate blood. But November 1, the Red Cross will add an HTLV-III antibody test to the donor'screening procedure. The HTLV-III virus is believed to cause AIDS but having the antibody does not always mean the person has AIDS. A Red Cross technician said HTLV—III antibody tests would be confidential. Abusers of intravenous drugs, homosexual and bisexual men, people who have been to countries where AIDS is endemic such as Haiti, Chad and Zaire, and hemophiliacs are all in high risk groups for getting AIDS. The virus is believed to be transmitted through the exchange of bodily fluids such as blood or semen and is not transmitted through casual contact. "If you fall into any of the risk groups listed by the Red Cross, don't give blood," Anderlini said. "If you want to take the AIDS test see your doctor or better still, wait until alternative testing clinics are set up", he said. Saturday Oct. 5 there will be a lecture on AIDS by Dr. Michael Gottlieb sponsored by the Vancouver Institute at 8:15 p.m. in Woodward IRCZ. Bob Tivey of AIDS Vancouver will speak on the same subject Oct. 24 in SUB 215 at noon. Page 2 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, October 1, 1985 Canadian universities fuel U.S. bombs MONTREAL, — (CUP) — Highly enriched nuclear fuel from reactors on five university campuses in Canada is sent to a military plant in the United States where it is used to make bombs for the American weapons programme. Research reactors at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Ecole Politechnique in Montreal, the University of Toronto, McMaster. University in/ Hamilton and the University of Alberta are fueled with highly enriched uranium (80 per cent uranium 235) or "weapons grade" uranium. This uranium is bought from the U.S. Department of Energy by the Atomic Energy Commission of Canada Limited (AECL, a crown corporation). The used uranium, still high in uranium 235, is shipped to the Savana River Plant in South Carolina where it is re-processed into plutonium and tritium for H-bombs, according to documents provided by Dr. Gordon Edwards, president of Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility. The plutonium generated at Savana is then shipped to Rocky Flats, Colorado where it is made into triggers for atomic bombs. The tritium is used to enhance the explosive power of the bombs. The money made from the this transaction pays for the next shipment of fuel to Canada. These deals violate the Nuclear Co-operation Agreement between' the United States and Canada, dating back to 1955, which bans the use of nuclear materials supplied by Canada for military purposes. Edwards, who has been investigating Canada's contribution to the production of bombs said, "The financial returns must be pretty small. Just enough to get more fuel." "The fuel is our lollipop for the U.S. military, and their way of buying friends and diffusing antagonism toward their weapons programme," Edwards said. The smaller reactors at four of the campuses cost about $200,000 to refuel. Re-fuelling the McMaster reactor, ten times the size of the others, runs in the millions, accor- ing to Fred Davediuk, manager of research facilities at AECL. Davediuk said Canada is obligated under a binding contract to return the spent fuel to the United States because it was theirs to begin with. However, a report from the United States General Accounting Office (December 31, 1984) confirms that no such contract exists and the title to spend fuels remains with the country that bought it. Chief Public Officer in the AECL, Hugh Spence, claimed the same thing in a letter to Quebec Townships Peace in August 1984. He also said the spent fuel was definitely re-processed for civilian purposes. He later had to retract his statements. Even though he had to admit the fuel was used at a military plant, he said in another letter to the peace group that the United States agreed to take an amount equal to the Canadian shipment out of the military re-processing drums and put it into civilian ones. However, Edwards called Savana River and found they only have one drum and it was for military production only. "They are either lying or incompetent," said Edwards about AECL officials. University reactors are re-fuelled every 5-10 years, except for the McMaster reactor which is refuelled every couple of years.

The peaceful research at universities is applied to industry, agriculture and health. For example, the level of arsenic in our drinking water can be tested by putting strands of human hair into the reactor and bombarding it with neutrons. The arsenic in the hair will become radioactive and it can then be measured and studied. However, according to Edwards, every experiment now being done with nuclear fuel can also be done in non-nuclear accelerators which the University of British Columbia and McGill University use. These accelerators charge non-nuclear particles to a very high speed which induces radioactivity. UBC BOOKSTORE COMPUTER SHOP is pleased to announce its latest addition NOW AVAILABLE ON CAMPUS!

Student Union president Michael Glavin unilaterally put $76,000, of which only $60,000 was insured, into term deposits at the troubled bank because it offered the highest interest rate. MBA under attack MONTREAL (CUP) — Almost everyone thinks business schools produce students who are pragmatic, hard-nosed and realistic — except business itself, according to Ron McTavish, the new director of Concordia's Centre for Management Studies in Montreal. "The MBA is under attack in North America," said McTavish, "Business has become critical. They just don't think it (the MBA) prepares students to do the job." McTavish told the story of five MBAs applying for a job at the same firm: Each was put in a different room, he said, they were each given the same problem to solve and they had an hour to do it. "They all came out with exactly the same answer," he said. Business schools tend to teach static models and routine ways to solve a problem, he said, "but business doesn't solve its problems with models. We need creative thinking, but unfortunately that's tough to teach." One student in his second year of a two year MBA at McGill University who wished to remain anonymous said, "I was surprised a Burn books VANCOUVER (CUP) — Although the B.C. government last year cut off publishing grants for political books, the committee whose first book sparked the cut is at it again. The Committee on Alternatives for British Columbia is now working on a sequel to The New Reality, the collection of essays which criticized the Social Credit government's restraint programme. The books proved so explosive the government wiped out publishing support for many books shortly after it was published. "We believe that The New Reality was the main reason that subsidies for books about politics, economics and social history were dropped," said Ralph Maurer of New Star Publications. New Star Books, which published The New Reality will put up the money for the new book, Alternatives, regardless of government support, said Maurer. But he said the cut will help determine what New Star can publish. Maurer said the government grants were intended to help publish books as most books lose money and couldn't be published without financial support. how completely and latterly useless everything they taught me was. "You're taught all this marvellous and wonderful theory," he said, "but as soon as you get out in the real world, all the rules go out the window." He spent his summer with an advertising agency in- France where he said he learned the important thing is how to deal with people. The most applicable course at McGill was organizational behavior, he said. In this course students study ways of dealing with problems in human relations. "It involves a lot of common sense," he said. There are so few principles to learn in order to run a business, he added, "I swear you could do it in a crash course on the weekend." "I just want to get out there," he said, "I'm doing this (the degree) for a piece of paper." McTavish said universities must direct their management programs more toward the needs of business, not academics. Although he regrets the trend in universities to devalue the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, they have no choice, he said. "Profits are tight now," he said, "and the job prospects for graduates looks very bleak, so we better start finding out what (business) wants." Marg Fartaczek, a council member, said Glavin ignored a society bylaw which states "all business or financial transactions on behalf of the (student) senate shall be approved by the senate." "He did the transaction without ratification of the senate — just on his own. That's wrong. It's against the constitution," she said. "They (executive council members) decided that policy would come out of the executive rather than the senate which is bullshit. The final responsibility has to be the senate according to (bylaw) 3-1." Fartaczek said Glavin should resign and threatened to begin impeachment proceedings if he did not. She said Glavin who is also acting S.U. treasurer is also guilty of not reporting the affair to senate. At the first senate meeting of the year, Glavin failed to mention $76,000 had been frozen at Northlands. "It should have been number one on the agenda," said Fartaczek. Glavin said he didn't report it because he was confident the funds were secure. "What would have been an issue for the senate and the entire student body was virtually resolved before the time of the (new senate) elections," he said. He said council had already received a cheque for $60,000 and had been assured the Tory government would guarantee the rest. However, it was later revealed only $26,000 had been returned from Northlands, and the federal legislation to ensure the total refund of all deposits has not yet been passed. AS PART OF COMMERCE WEEK, a Pre-Commerce student undergoes the mandatory psychological test which the faculty has implemented this year in a futile attempt to eradicate rampant insanity. Commerce students are particularly susceptible to this condition, which ranks a close second behind the common cold, as they endure unheard-of levels of tedium both in the lecture hall and when awake. And, by the way, donate blood, SUB 207-209 this week. Star Wars drains Canadian professor supply OTTAWA (CUP) — Research spending on U.S. president Ronald Reagan's space-based defense system could suck Canadian engineers out of universities here to vast demand in the States, warns Canada's national professors group. The U.S. Department of Defense plans to spend almost $3 billion on the Strategic Defence Initiative next year, $26 billion in the next five years. Many U.S. university engineers will be lured into defense labs, creating shortages in American Universities, said Donald Savage, executive director of the Canadian Association of University Teachers. "If they put up that kind of money for the research, private universities will comb the world for researchers, and the closest place to come is Canada," Savage said. "I don't see how you can spend billions and billions on SDI research without having a dramatic vreooiifi cvinva in on doom The used book store operated by Alma Mater Society broke even this September with sales way up from last year. "We couldn't believe the response," said Simon Seshadri, AMS director of administration and organizer of the sale. He added even with increased staffing; ''the line ups were still incredible." A total of $65,000 passed through the used bookstore during the September operating period, with the store selling about 7,000of the 11,000 books which students brought in. Seshadri said books were sold at quite a discount. "They were probably worth about $110,000 new." A big advertising campaign was launched this year, which probably contributed to the store's large volume, he said. •"Our only problem was the long line-up," said Seshadri. "They were as long as those in the main bookstore." A larger location was suggested, but Seshadri said students have just begun to find the room in SUB, and if the location was changed students would be confused. He added there are very few rooms available which could be occupied for an entire month. The AMS Used Bookstore will "certainly" be back next year, he said, and there is a good possibility that it may operate in January, 1986 as well. The Used Bookstore charges 15 per cent commission, h> added. effect on the market for engineers and scientists," Savage said. U.S. immigration laws already have exemptions for immigration of engineers, and the U.S. Congress is considering immigration reforms which will make it easier for these groups to enter the United States. Savage said even before Reagan announced the SDI plan in April, 1984, he can remember meetings n Washington where on plans for government research where people were saying "where are we going to find all the people to do these things?" The last big drain of Canadian engineers came in 1959 when Prime Minister John Diefenbaker cancelled the Avro Arrow airplane programme. Hordes of Canadian engineers went south to work in U.S. universities or help the space race. Savage did not know if the Canadian decision Sept. 9 not to officially support SDI research would mean less SDI contracts at Canadian universities. "If that happens, it's the penalty you pay for your principles," he said. A study released by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research council (NSERC) in June says there is already a serious lack of scientists and engineers in Canada, and that Canada can't import manpower for research and development, innovation and technology diffusion "due to the world-wide shortage of researchers in these high-demand fields." U.S. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said recently that there was little worry of a "brain drain" caused by SDI research spending, the Montreal paper Le Devoir reported. But European governments have been calling the threat of lost engineering talent a ' 'reverse Marshall plan." Gordon McNabb, president of NSERC, said Canada could hang on to its engineers "if the universities could open up more faculty and research positions here." "There's no action as yet in Canada to fund research positions," McNabb said. McNabb said one NSERC program, the University Research Fellowships has attracted foreign engineers to Canada. One third of the 50 fellowships last year went to foreigners. "We're getting very good people, McNabb said. But he said research programs, need more money, and "that will be a critical test of this government." McNabb said engineers at Canadian universities would be happier here if they had more support staff. Students protest Bata OTTAWA (CUP) — Students and faculty staged a protest two weeks ago against Bata International, a Canadian multinational with extensive holdings in South Africa. Three McMaster professors were arrested for trespassing and for spilling blood on the walls of the company's head office in Don Mills, Ont. on Sept. 5. Another demonstration in Hamilton Sept. 7 drew about 60 members of the community to a picket outside a Bata shoe store in protest of the company's continued support of apartheid and its exploitation of black South African workers. In Montreal, about 65 protestors picketed a Bata outlet in Place Bonaventure shopping mall Sept. 9. Nine women entered the store and staged a sit-in. They were later dragged away and arrested by the police. Charges were dropped against the McMaster professors because little damage had been caused, said Basil Baker, secretary to the board of Bata International in Don Mills. "People are entitled to their own opinion and to make it known. It was just a bit of trespassing and a bit of blood splashed on the walls," Baker said. "We don't think we should get up on our high horse about it. But (neither) are we in favour of violent demonstrations." Protestors of Bata's policies say the company exploits its workers by paying well below the Canadian government's guidelines of operations in South Africa. Currently Bata operates four factories inside the artificially independent black homelands, known as Bantustans. Bata's workers are not allowed to unionize and the company has crushed two union drives in 1982 and 1984. Baker dismissed the claims saying his company helps blacks by developing their economic power and giving them employment opportunities. "We're pioneers. We go where there is nothing and build it up. We provide employment for blacks," Baker said. "What would be the point of withdrawing? If everyone withdraws, there wouldn't be anything left. And the blacks need job opportunities." Baker says boycotts will not work because all Bata shoes made in South Africa are sold there. "I can't see how (boycotts) would be helpful. Informed public opinion will show what we are doing is right." But the company isn't that oblivious to public opinion. Sonja Bata decided not to renew her seat on York University's board of directors last February after becoming the focus of a petition from York students demanding her removal from the university board. Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, October 1, 1985 Opportunism showing Labour Minister Terry Segarty has announced the B.C. minimum wage will remain at $3.65, the lowest in Canada. Segarty asserts that a low starting wage encourages private industry to hire more unskilled employees such as students. Certainly experience has shown that private industry views the minimum as a working wage, not a starting wage, and an excuse to exploit its inexperienced workers. A worker employed 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year at B.C.'s minimum wage earns less than $8,000 annually. Such a worker has a limited disposable income to invest in an economy which desperately needs people to start spending again. Why ignore the long-term benefits of raising the minimum wage and, instead, legislate poverty? Expo. This is a government which lives for, and by, short- term public relations success. The intended hiring of 15,000 Expo employees was announced at a ministerial press conference. Unannounced was the fact that two-thirds of the jobs will pay between $4 and $6 an hour. The average employee in one of these jobs will earn around $3200, hardly enough to return to school, let alone raise a family or pay taxes. But a minimum of, say, $4.50, would have immediate, expensive implications. The Expo deficit is high enough. With a B.C. minimum wage of $3.65 Expo can pay more than minimum, keep its deficit down, and briefly reduce B.C.'s massive unemployment . . . Election in late May. Slanderous accusations lack firm foundation Reading the letters column in your September 27th issue, I took exception to several statements made and would like an opportunity to respond. In Kevin Griffin's letter (Gay student irate with antics of "Frat Boys") he makes several invalid assumptions, and a couple of simply ridiculous suggestions. To imply that the AMS condones violence against the Gays & Lesbians at UBC as a result of our failure to apply his proposed punishment is outlandish. Firstly, as Director of Administration, I will not take any action until 1 receive a complaint from the Gays & Lesbians Club. This has not occurred in any form as of yet, a week after the event. Secondly, as a fraternity member, 1 view his suggestions of barring the entire greek system from holding functions in SUB as ludicrous and insulting. Everything that I have heard on this matter leads me to believe that .the individuals involved had no connection with the inter-fraternity council, or the "greek system". While IFC is responsible for the behaviour of guests within their function (a responsibility performed excellently on this particular evening), it is difficult for them to govern the conduct of guests once they have left the dance. Griffin's concept of punishing every campus fraternity and sorority (since all were represented at the dance) is just plain silly. Not only is this unreasonable, but since many of the activities on the Greek calen dar are for the purpose of charitable fundraising, such a move would also hurt many worthwhile causes. While few greeks condone what occurred, mass punishment simply doesn't make it. A second letter also caught my eye. Heather Campbell's compaint (Suds & Slugs don't mix) is simply false. It was not necessary to be 19 to get near the stage and enjoy the concert. The licensed area, for the second consecutive year, was set up so that it ended approximately 30 feet before the stage. No one with liquor could leave the beer garden, so those not drinking, had literally, the best seat in the house. Campbell calls the concert a money making scheme, again totally incorrect. All beer and burger sales were for the express purpose of adding to the festive atmosphere and of course to pay for the free concert and associated costs. The event required much work by AMS staff, students and all the volunteers. The crowd (estimated at 6,000) seemed to have a great time, and even the weatherperson cooperated. We at the AMS thought the con- cert/BBQ was an excellent end to orientation week and will hopefully try again next year. Simon Seshadri AMS Director of Administration Fraternities are slandered by ' 'irate student'' I find it necessary, not only as a fraternity representative, but also as a concerned student, to respond to Kevin C. Griffin's letter of September 27, 1985, entitled "Gay- Student Irate With Antics of 'Frat Boys'." After having read his letter, I was bewildered with Mr. Griffin's obvious short sighted understanding of justice, which he subscribes to, and upon which, his letter is based. Although I neither condone, nor agree with, any individual's act of racism, neither do I condone the accusation made by Mr. Griffin that quote "frat boys — who were holding a dance near by" (to the Gay-Lesbian Coming Out Dance) were responsible for the racist attack upon either himself, or a friend (the letter is unclear). Although the Inter-Fraternity Council did host a dance in SUB Ballroom that evening, it is not a prerequisite for all attending persons to be "frat boys", as evidenced by the equal number of females in attendance. Similarly, a function hosted by a chess club does not, as a prerequisite, require its patrons to be avid chess players. It becomes plainly obvious that Mr. Griffin could have confused AMS vice raps unfairness towards greeks As an AMS executive and a member of the greek community here at UBC, I think it only right to respond to the letter written by Mr. Griffin in Friday's Ubyssey, Gay student irate with antics of "frat boys". First off, I would like to address my comments to Mr. Griffin as a member of a fraternity on the campus, regarding the incidents which occurred on Saturday September 21 in the student union building. Mr. Griffith has made some very serious accusations about "frat boys" who harrassed him and others outside the Gay and Lesbians "Coming Out" dance. The question I must ask Mr. AMS hypocritical It is at best hypocritical for Duncan Stewart and other AMS officers to claim that a student representative body cannot speak for all UBC students in condemning apartheid and envoking a ban on South African products. The AMS continually speaks in our collective name and makes financial decisions which have not been approved by UBC students. Yet suddenly on the issue of apartheid the AMS has become sensitive to the question of representative democracy! If Stewart and others have an opposition to anti-apartheid action by the AMS, let's hear it. But let's dispense with red-herring arguments against such action. Kevin Annett graduate studies Griffin is how he knows the people harrassing him were fraternity members? Just because they were outside the IFC dance does not necessarily meant they were members of a fraternity or part of the IFC dance. My point is Mr. Griffin is making accusations without proof of who the people \vere who were bothering him. This upsets me, because I feel the greek system as a whole at this campus has been unduly labelled and accused of being not only racist, but homophobic, something that isn't true! The second part of my letter, addresses comments to Mr. Griffin from me an AMS "politician". As a member of the executive, I must apologize to Mr. Griffin for any trouble that he experienced the night of his dance. No student should make racist or homosexual jokes to anyone and I hope this is an isolated incident. On the other hand though, the manner by which Mr. Griffin wishes to solve the situation (banning fraternities from SUB, etc.) is unreasonable and I am sure was said before consideration was given to the problem. The only suggestion I can give Mr. Griffin is that he come to talk to me as AMS vice president or AMS ombudsperson and lodge a complaint. Then and only then will the AMS look into the problem and try and help the parties concerned. It is unfortunate, but these incidents happen, and if people act in a calm, cool, rational manner then results can be obtained. I hope Mr. Griffin realizes the upset he has caused over his remarks, but at the same time also realizes that proper action can be taken if he takes the time to come to the AMS and let us help him solve what is obviously a regretful mishap. Jonathan Mercer AMS Vice President the identity of his assailants with that of "frat boys", yet continues to equate his evening's ill experiences with "frat boys". Could it be that "frat boys" are responsible for all of Mr. Griffin's ill adventures? He goes on to question the integrity of our elected student politicians by suggesting that the penalties for overt acts of racism vary depending on the minority group in question. Mr. Griffin continues to employ his double-sided justice by blindly accusing "frat boys" of being responsible for two separate acts of "homophobic" behaviour. When on page 5 of the same edition of the Ubyssey the Secretary of SAC, Martin Cocking, was quoted as saying "The people involved (in the act of homophobic behaviour) were not IFC members. Mr. Griffin closes his letter with suggestions of sanctions which should be imposed upon a body of innocent students. A curious course of action on behalf of a man obsessed with seeing justice serviced. For correct me if I am wrong, is it not the duty of justice to allow a person their innocence until proven guilty and not to hold them guilty until they prove their innocence? Given the statements of both Cocking and Seshadri, the accusations Mr. Griffin makes against the "frat boys" are false. In light of the slanderous injustices of both Mr. Griffin and his assailants, it seems fitting for both sides to apologize to the appropriate parties. It is unfortunate that I cannot suggest who Mr. Griffin's assailants might have been, however, I can suggest who Mr. Griffin can direct his apologies to. Perhaps he would like to do so in the same medium he used to slander the Greek system, careful to add the theme of nuclear war to his already present themes of sex, violence, racism and fiction in order to meet the Ubyssey standards for well rounded stories. Greg Davignon, President Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity Technological education at U.B.C. is axed Does technology have a role in education in British Columbia? If it does, then the University of British Columbia is stepping back in time. The only provincial program of Communications Media and Technology in Education has been axed. Three CMTE faculty positions have been declared "redundant". A group of 45 graduate students are left out in the cold as UBC reneges on its commitment to its graduate students. They are forced to either prematurely complete program requirements within this current academic year or to transfer to less appropriate programs within the Faculty of Education. Is this the way the University of British Columbia carries out its program responsibilities to the graduate students.? The decision to close the program has been cloaked in confusion and mystery during the year. The university has proved to be reluctant in informing the graduate students of its actions. Written official notification was not forthcoming until a student representation met with the Acting Vice-President, Academic to air their concerns. In making its decision, the university displayed a lack of consideration for all those involved in the program and a general shortsightedness in plannng for the future. It is ironic that British Columbia will be hosting in the spring of 1986 during Expo year, the World Congress on Education and Technology. We can only hope that UBC will recognize that the students of today need skills and methods beyond those used in the Dark Ages to be educated for the technological future. A. Brunei K. Cook A.

Allyson Bradley, Stephen Wisenthal, and Mary McAllister were fatally assaulted and battered by the steedy likes of Seen Byrne and Cheryl Neil late last night on prestigious Terminal Avenue. Bystanders Stephanie Lee, Steve Engler. Michael Groberman, and Kerin Loo broke into fits of convulsions during the proceedings, end were understandably ired when police constables Renate Boerner and David Mc- Cellum arrived on the scene to quell things. Sean and Cheryl are recent escapees of Sing-Sing, where well-known convicts such as Karen Gram and Debbie Lo still reside. This carnage ws linked to last week's comic double-murder case in the cultural mecca of Squamish, where the decrepit fossils of John Edgar and Sarah Millin were scraped off the cjiff face of the Squamish Chief. Tuesday, October 1, 1985 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 Ecstatic pilgrim tells of Mecca By ALLYSON BRADLEY My adventure begins as a solitary bespectacled figure in proletarian greys and browns waves me down, shouting — "Marxist-Leninist literature!" I stop. I am the only one. The gleam in his eye pleads with me. "How much?" "Only 25 cents — a deal." He breathes an inch from my face. I pay and smile what I hope is a convert's smile, clutching the leaflet as I flee. This is Clubs Day at UBC. This is open season on my reticence, my allergy to participation. I give myself a fair start, with a mind so open I could catch something untreatable, like enthusiasm, friendship, the urge to embrace my economics professor, or even-eh! What's this hovering thing in the sky? It's blue, it's breezy — it's a hang-glider demonstration! Dropp ing gracefully to the ground, it beckons to me like some strange bird possessed of ethereal knowledge. I expect him to caw — "Do intact bones really matter in this life's scheme?" I decide that they do and move along to the clatter of metal on metal — the Medieval Society is staging a friendly execution for the sidewalk lun- chers and the plumply begowned Maid Marians who bellow their approval on the sidelines. Again, I am given a leaflet — the last one they have — I wonder what gives me away. Is it the bug-eyed, drop jawed, 10-year-old amazement I know I wear? Maybe. I pause for only a second at the Women's Centre table. These women intimidate me with their sombre level stares and mouths that threaten to expose my disloyalty. I am terrified by such chummy titles as "Incest and You" and "I'm a Lesbian and Like It."

These are not encouraging faces. I slide past the NDP, PC, and Liberal Youth party tables which are aligned in some cozy, ironic formation. They are all here — the pubescent power-mongers: John with pimples. Ed with peach fuzz. A choir-voiced Brian. How they yearn to shed the training bras of their buxom political aspirations! I smile weakly, receptively — but they ignore me, busy with imaginary press conferences. The Ubyssey man doesn't ignore me. I step on his toe — he grins. I admire his socks — he gives them to me. Finally I mutter; "I am an illiterate fascist." "Fine, fine — love it — diversity of opinion — the other guy's shoes — What you could add to our paper! Editorials you say — capital!"

The 1984 winners were — Women's Program — Division One: Commerce over Tweeds; Division Two: Forestry over EUS and Men's Program — Super League: Commerce over Betas, Division One: Law over Mech. Eng.; Division Two: S.U.S. over Kappa Sigma; Division Three: Dekes over Civils 111.

On Friday at O.J. Todd Field, UBC and the University of Calgary Dinosaurs battled to a 0-0 draw. The UBC attack led to a total of seven shots on Calgary goalie Eugene Armbruster while Brian Kennedy in the UBC nets was credited with three saves. After the game one UBC player remarked, "Some days everything works. Others, you just tear your hair and try again." Saturday, under a sunny sky, the T-birds mercilessly blasted the visiting Lethbridge Pronghorns 6-0. Kevin Riley accounted for five goals (four in the first half) in the one sided contest. Teammate Jonathan Pirie added the other UBC marker SPORTS Field hockey strong UBC men's varsity and junior field hockey teams won their regular league fixtures, and the varsity team captured the trophy in the Early Bird Tournament on Victor Warren field at UBC over the weekend. In West Vancouver, the T-Birds won their first game of the season with an impressive 4-1 victory over West Van "A". Doug Harris, a member of Canada's Under 21 Men's Field Hockey team which competed at the Junior World Cup over the summer, controlled the tempo of the game from the mid- field. With long balls down the wings from the defense, the UBC forwards were able to penetrate the West Van goal area easily. Goal scorers included Ian MacKenzie with 2. Also in league play, the J.V. team improved their undefeated record to 2-0-1 with a 4-2 victory over West Van "C". Stan Smith had a strong game at center half. To cap off the weekend, the Varsity team went 5-0 to win the annual Early Bird Tournament. They were definitely the class of the field. Norm Keevil, captain of the tournament, played well at sweeper back. As shown by the results, the men's hockey program at UBC is strong this year, with 3 teams in the Vancouver League. Although they don't play in intervarsity competition, trips to Berkeley and UVic are planned.
