Tuesday, February 25,1986 Lost, jobless youth need help now By STEPHEN WISENTHAL Canada must help hundreds of thousands of lost, unemployed young people or face even greater social problems in the future, the chair of the senate special committee on youth said Monday. "It's intolerable — we have to take action now," said Jacques Hebert, in Vancouver to defend the threatened Katimavik program and promote the committee's report, Youth: A Plan of Action. "If we are one of the richest countries on earth there is no reason why such a large number of young people should be left to drift," he said. The report released Feb. 19, recommends better funding for universities, colleges, job training and employment programs, and calls for youth representatives in decision making, volunteer opportunities in Canada and overseas, and a campaign against illiteracy. It also suggests action to help disabled and native people. Statisics show 700,000 young Canadians are unemployed, increasing crime and suicide rates, strained social agencies, and large numbers of homeless youth, according to the 139 page report prepared by 12 Canadian senators who gathered testimony from across Canada between April and December 1985. Hebert said he can't believe how complacent Canada's youth are in the face of these problems: "One of the reasons why our leaders are not open about dealing with youth is because our young people are so damned patient," he said. But Canada should do something soon because "this patience will have a limit," he said, referring to V youth riots in Liverpool and other British cities. He added action should be taken not out of fear, but because of a human feeling for the plight of young people. "If we don't take a very drastic decision many of these ydung people will never work as long as they live." Hebert said the government should take the problem of youth joblessness into account before making any cuts in expenditures. "The public hearings were very disturbing for our members," said Hebert. "We knew there were problems and that's why we launched this study in the first place. But even we were not prepared for the testimony showing the terrible depth of these problems." Hebert helped found the Katimavik youth volunteer program nine years ago and wants to preserve the program, the Mulroney government decided to terminate last month. It's a coincidence that preserving the program is one of the 26 recommendations of the committee, he said. "We need more Katimaviks." He said the program, which sends groups of twelve young people to do volunteer work in three different parts of Canada over nine months, is a chance for young people to work with others and discover themselves. "It gives them new motivation to get out and fight." He said there is a large group supporting Katimavik and interested people should write their members of parliament if they want the program preserved. "They (the government) didn't suspect that we had such a large community that supported Katimavik." The report covers a number of social issues other than youth unemployment and poverty. It calls for greater opportunity for all young people to attend well funded universities and colleges. "We stand in favour of more support for post-secondary financing across the country and better access for Canadians from all communities." The senators also advocate co-op education programs. "We believe that this combination of work and See page 5: Job Jobs lie in challenge ^^BA^^b^ , # 'dl . -neil lucente photo "I ALWAYS WONDERED why my ears flopped about in this thing," wrestler left muttered at wrestler right.

Federal Youth ministry faces axe OTTAWA (CUP) — All signs show the Conservative government will eliminate the ministry of youth in its budget, Feb. 26. At least three of Youth Minister Andree Champagne's top assistants have quietly left her office in the past few weeks. Kevin Darroch, her legislative assistant, and Patricia Thompson, her special assistant, have moved to other jobs in the bureaucracy. Lisa Van Deusen, Champagne's press attache, has gone to Europe. Champagne told Jean Lapierre, Liberal youth critic, in a local television interveiw Feb. 14 for the Hull TV station CBOT (to be aired this week) that she does not know what her budget will be. Most revealing is an updated memorandum labelled "secret" from Champagne's chief of staff, Serge St-Pierre, which describes how to write a cabinet document that would "demonstrate that a politically relevant constituency exists outside the context of IYY (International Year of Youth)." The memo paints a picture of a ministry that will try anything in a fight to survive. One handwritten section titled "IOU's and/or Irons in the fire" lists "ministers and 'heavy' MPs who 'owe' Andree Champagne" and "Ministers and heavy MP's with grant requests under 'active' consideration, i.e. not yet turned down" as targets for lobbying to ensure cabinet votes to retain the ministry. The notes refer several times to the importance of the ministry in "delivering the youth vote. The stategy for ensuring the survival of the ministry includes "chairmen to be given a 'personal' backgrounder on the youth strategy so that he/she might . . . advise his/her caucus members on initiatives they might/should take to ensure the survival of the Minister of State (Youth)." Initiatives for caucus members include "notes/letters to the PM; collar the regional minister, express views/concerns to other ministers from the region; make a pitch to Cabinet Committee on Social Development/planning and priorities ministers they know personally. . ." See page 5: Youth By EVELYN JACOB Students and Youths working on EXPO site jobs will have part of their job training subsidized by the provincial government if their employers take part in the new Challenge 86 employment program. Lyle Birbeck, director of federal provincial relations for labour said Monday the new program will create up to 18,000 jobs in B.C. Challenge '86 will follow last year's Challenge program which provided summer jobs for youth and students aged IS to 24 and was jointly funded by the government and private sector. The federal-provincial cost shared program is divided into four categories: • To provide wage subsidies up to a maximum of $2.50 per hour to tourist information centres, businesses, and farms where the employer will match the government subsidy increasing the hourly wage to $5.00 per hour. • To reimburse non-profit organizations,* museums, colleges, universities and municipalities for the provincial adult minimum wage of $3.65 an hour. • To reimburse employers for 50 per cent of an employee's wage for Simon Fraser provides choice on daycare By VIRGINIA McKENNA Worker's for Simon Fraser University student society now can choose how their children will be cared for while they work. Subsidizing daycare is not a new thing at SFU. "It has been going on for about eight or nine years, even before we were unionized," said Rhonda Spence, S.F.U. Student Society employee and Shop Steward of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 23%. The S.F.U. Student Society 75 percent subsidy will be extended to cover employees who choose at home childcare. This percentage covers a maximum of $355 a month for infant care, said Spence. "It's a boon to employees because, as you can imagine, $475 a month for daycare would be a big chunk out of our wages," said Spence. The latest contract has made this subsidy available to employees who choose to keep their children at home with their other parent or with a private babysitter, said Spence. The change to the contract, initiated by the trade union in their summer bargaining talks with the student society, represents a recognition of the value of the person who is in the home looking after the child she said. Student union subsidization of daycare costs is a rare practice at Canadian universities she said, adding "As far as I know, S.F.U. is the only Student Society to provide subsidized daycare to their staff." "S.F.U.'s daycare system is great, but I don't know if such a need exists at UBC", said Alma Mater Society president Simon Seshadri. U.B.C.'s Alma Mater society funds no daycare services for its employees, said Charles Redden, the AMS business manager. "Only a very small number of staff have children here - not more than 6 or 7," said Redden. A referendum was held three years ago which asked students if they would be interested in supporting daycare for students at UBC and they voted "yes" overwhelmingly, said Redden. The AMS will be providing daycare facilities for students, but so far there are no plans for staff daycare services, said Redden. "We have negotiations for contracts every two years and the subject of subsidized daycare has never been an issue." training prior to Expo up to $2.50 an hour, for a training period of up to 80 hour* in an '^Expo 86 on Site Training Incentive Program". • To offer students and youths interest-free loans up to $2,000 per person, or $3,000 per partnership for persons to plan and operate businesses in the student venture loan program. NDP employment critic Colin Gabelmann said Monday, "The 86 program will not reduce youth unemployment in a province with the poorest youth group job creation in the program of all the provinces last year." "There are presently 62,000 young people unemployed in B.C., and there will be thousands more when students from colleges and high schools infiltrate the job market this summer," he said. Terry Hunt, Canadian Federation of Students Pacific region chair said the "Be your own Boss" loan program had a low success rate last year with a defautlt rate of 20 per cent. "The program is a risk, not a student employment program," said Hunt. Student venture programs in the past have been criticized in the past as inviting students to lose money, rather than save for tuition fees. The federal government has allocated 16.6 million to B.C. from part of a total of $125.6 million to fund Challenge programs nationwide. The B.C. provincial government has not revealed what their Challenge 86 contribution will be, but expect to announce it in the next provincial budget expected to take place in the latter part of March. Hunt said the provincial government spent 8.3 million out of a total 10.5 million allocated for the program last year. Pat Brand, UBC Canada Employment Centre manager said the centre has not been made aware of the details of the program but said last year the centre handled about 15,000 applications handled by his office for jobs funded by the provincial government on campus. Page 2 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, February 25, 1986 Cockburn helps Haidas By TODD WONG Bruce Cockburn presented a $35,311 cheque to Robert Davidson of the urban Haida nation tribal council,.after two benefit concerts, Saturday night at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. "I'm overwhelmed by the response," said Cockburn. "I hope we've raised people's consciousness about the amount that Canada's aboriginal peoples have at stake." "There's been a lot of energy by Canadians put into Central America, I just think it'd be great if some of that energy could be redirected or expanded at home." Cockburn has written songs concerning native Indians before. Red Brother, Red Sister appeared on the album Mummy Dust. Svend Robinson, Burnaby MP and NDP justice critic, had approached Cockburn with the idea of a benefit concert for the Haida nation to help preserve Lyell Island. "Bruce was sympathetic to the lands claim issue and the Haida cause," said Robinson. "He felt it was something worthwhile for him to do." Robinson blocked logging roads with the Haida on Lyell Island when Haida elders were arrested late last year. Robinson said the money would probably be spent on court and travel costs for the Haida who were charged with trespassing and defying a court order. "When the Haida sought an injunction to prevent logging on Lyeil Island until land claims were settled, the provincial court judge told them they had no rights, because they had been sleeping on them," said Squamish Chief Joe Mathieson, at a public forum on native land claims in North Vancouver. Cockburn rarely does benefit concerts but said he was glad his current tour allowed him the benefit opportunity after the concert.

He has not made a trip to the Queen Charlotte archipelago but feels it isn't necessary to visit the islands to understand the problems facing the Haidas and other Indian nations. After a standing ovation called Cockburn back for an encore, Robert Davidson presented him with a Haida painting in recognition of Cockburn's efforts on behalf of the Haida cause. The painting depicted two blue salmon emerging from two red spawning salmon. Davidson explained the painting as the universal cycle of death begetting life, and went on to use the salmon analogy to describe the plight of the native Indians.

Tuesday, February 25, 1986 THE UBYSSEY Page 3 CAUT calls for more top women By CAMILE DIONNE Although the ratio of women to men faculty members is higher at UBC than the national average, few women currently hold administrative positions, said a representative of the Canadian Association of University Teachers Wednesday. Carolyn Attridge told about 35 people in the Buchanan penthouse the invisibility of women in top university positions is due to the "scanty" pool of qualified women to choose from. "We have to address the question of the pool of qualified people to enter the university and that means looking at attracting women into graduate progams," Attridge said. Women currently make up 19 per cent of UBC faculty, three per cent higher than the national average. And the national average has not improved dramatically over the past ten years, added Attridge. Said Attridge: "Over the last 15 or 20 years the number of women students have greatly increased so that the proportion of women and men in the undergraduate student body are almost equal." Different career patterns between women and men she said, is another reason for the uneven faculty ra- lio. "Traditionally many women have chose to opt out for periods of time in pursuing their academic careers in order to fulfill family responsibilities." She said women who choose to take the time off are often incorrectly viewed by their colleagues as being "less serious" about their careers. CAUT, a national organization, is currently developing a "positive action" policy for administrative appointment procedures and is also developing model policies for tenure and promotion, which consider the career patterns of women and sexual harrasment policies. Attridge closed the talk on the current status of academic Canadian women by complimenting the progress academic women have made in their workplaces. "There are many positive signs," she said. "I just am concerned that the initiatives keep growing." Culpspels changs steve wou THRONG GATHERS EXPECTANTLY as vague granite apparition seemed to form in front o'1 Main Library. Some claimed image, thought to represent the Virgin herself, could only be seen with high-powered arc lamps.

TORONTO (CUP) — "Our spel- ing desperately needs tu be simpliefied, reformed, and ra- sionalized. It iz inevitabel that this reformasion wil ocur. The suner, the better." Some of the above words might look funny, but the Simplified Spelling Society of Canada, which penned them, insists the more- phonetic spelling is simpler, more rational and will eventually be easier to understand. The three-year-old group calls current English spelling "a disgusting mess' that has caused among other problems, an illiteracy rate of 20 per cent in Canada. "English is by far the Western world's worst language," says the SSSC's president Ted Culp. We use "ph" when we mean "f", "gve" when "g" would suffice and add letters that don't do anything, like the "b" in dumb". The group wants people to Doubled tuition deigns demanded demonstration HALIFAX (CUP) — It was the city's biggest demonstration in five years. About 2500 university students marched through downtown Halifax Feb. 13 to protest a provincial royal commission report which recommends doubling their tuition fees. The students, from Dalhousie, Mount St. Vincent and St. Mary's Universities, King's College and the Nova Scotia College marched from Dalhousie to Province House, the provincial legislature. The art college students pounded on conga drums and sang, carrying their paintings with slogans added such as "My dog could write a better report" and "1 wanna learn to spel. (sic)". Others sang in unison to Twisted Sister's "We're not gonna take it!" blasting from speakers on a truck that led the procession. Mount St. Vincent students carried a placard advertising their university for sale: "Four scenic acres overlooking Bedford Basin . . lots of old books, vintage lab equipment . . . owner must sell immediately." Chinese students carried a 15-metre red dragon painted with "100 per cent? You've got to be kidding." The Student Union of Nova Scotia organized the demonstration, plastering all five campuses with posters, reading "something's going wrong, Tom Mclinnis, Minister of Education" and "Don't let them double your tuition." Barb Donaldson, chair of the Canadian Federation of Students, joined the students in knocking on every door of the 30-storey Fenwick student residence, urging students to join the protest. "I can't believe that in Nova Scotia, where they pay the highest fees in the country, that they would double tuition there," Donaldson said. Along with doubling tuition fees the report recommends the ministry: * eliminate bursaries for all students; * require international students to pay 100 per cent of the cost of educating them. This would double their current $3000 tuition fees; * demand payment, either from Ottawa or from students from other provinces, to compensate for out-of province students who exceed the number of Nova Scotians studying in other parts of Canada; * establish a core curriculum for all students, which "should stress the relationship between the subjects studied and should develop in the student the intellectual powers and abilities associated with educated people." Two days before the march, Conservative Nova Scotia premier John Buchanan announced in a press release the government would not increase tuition fees 50 per cent, because tuition fees aie up lo the individual school. Donaldson laughed off the release. "The fact that the provincial government sets the operating budget means they effectively set the fees universities must charge," she said. BC post-secondary edi ■» Kll t By DEBBIE LO The "parking lot theory" suggests each of the B.C. post- secondary institutions cater to distinct socio-economic classes, said a Canadian Federation of Students representative Saturday. Donna Morgan told a crowd of about 100 students, faculty members, and administrators, at a community conference on post- secondary education that students attending each institution reflect the accessibility of each. "UBC is not representative of the general car population," she said. "BMW's are qualitatively different from SFU's rabbits." "And the downtown VCC (Vancouver Community College) has no parking lot," she added. Morgan said education in B.C. is "ghettoized". Lower income students attend community colleges for job oriented education, and richer students can afford to take liberal arts at UBC, said Morgan who added a small minority of highly motivated students, less than ten per cent of the students who take transfer programs, actually transfer to universities. Post secondary institutions are also dominated and run by white middle class males, she told the audience. Stephen Leary, of the Downtown Eastside Residents Association and former member of CFS, said the provincial government believes it is "good business" to use post secondary education for training. "Critical thinking is being discouraged,and the Socreds don't take kindly to criticism," he said John Waters, president of the College Institute Educators' "(But) I was pleased to see the provincial government was so afraid of us as to have to release this communique," Donaldson said. "They were trying to take the wind out of our sails. It actually increased our media attention." On the day of the march, the provincial cabinet was meeting in Shelburne, N.S., about 150 km from Halifax, in preparation for a throne speech at the end of February. Students hope the march will influence statements about education in the speech from the throne. ghettoizes Association, said funding for post secondary education has been driven by "buzz" concepts. "Restraint, cost-effectiveness, efficiency ... all make you feel good inside," he said. "They are all trigger words developed in the minds of advertising executives."

Despite the enormity of the task, Culp says it is inevitable that we will revise our spelling. "The present system is so irrational, it will collapse like a house of cards." Already, he notes, there have been some changes, primarily in American usage. The "our" ending is changing to "or", "re" as in centre to "er" and simplified words like "nite" and "thru" are popping up. Culp admits there are difficulties in trying to overhaul a spelling system and says some have been overcome while others are unresolved. People will still be able to read books written in the old way, he says, because the new system will be phased in. Eventually, the old books will wear out and ones with revised spelling will be published. As for learning a new system, Culp says it will be simple, especially for young people who aren't as tied to the old style. "The more you use it the more comfortable you become with it," says the Toronto high school teacher. "It's become very difficult for me to spell in the normal way." However, there are snags. Culp says about 16 new letters will be needed and admits there will be problems because different countries pronounce words different ways. Culp won't say how many members the society has, only that they're "thinly spread" across Canada. The group has plans for a dictionary and a newspaper to spread the gospel of simplified spelling. In the past, there have been attempts in other countries to reform spelling, some more successful than others. Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish and Chinese have all undergone reforms. A Simplified Spelling Society cropped up in Britain at the end of the last century, enlisting the support of notables like George Bernard Shaw and Lord Baden-Powell. However, the society's calls went unheeded. Students frustrated with spelling can writelo Gulp at 240 Russell Hill Rd. in Toronto, M4V 2T2. Council votes to decertify student journalism society OTTAWA (CUP) — Carleton student council stood firm on its decision Feb. 20 to decertify the student journalism society for inviting the South African ambassador to participate in a campus debate. After an emotional and often confusing three-hour debate before a crowd of 150 students, council voted 18 in favour — five opposed to a motion to decertify the club. Decertification means the journalism society won't get free access to campus services or the campus security that will be necessary for the ambassador, Glen Babb, to speak. The student councii executive had suspended the society status as a university club a week earlier, saying the club's invitation violated council policy to sever all links with the apartheid regime and its backers. The society's vice-president, Rob Mackenzie, said that the council ruling does not mean they will withdraw the invitation to Babb. "We were shot down tonight, but we'll be back tomorrow." Carleton's anti-apartheid group (CAAG), which opposed Babb's appearance on campus, did not initiate the move to decertify the journalism society. But the originator of the motion to sever links with apar theid said he was pleased at the outcome. "It's not exactly a victory for CAAG, but this meeting could have produced a severe set-back for us," said Paul Gross. The council also voted to have a committee review the original anti- apartheid policy. The journalism society has tentatively confirmed Canadian journalist Peter Kent to oppose Babb in the debate. Kent has covered Africa for both the NBC and CBC. Mackenzie says he might get around the decertification by asking Carleton professors -to invite the ambassador. Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, February 25, 1986 Douggerel &jjfizk-/# Last week the irrepresible forces of reac- tionism, heterosexism and "journalism" on the North Shore came together in that cataclismic whimpering that is Doug Collins. M;. Collins reads The Ubyssey. Yup. We know because he hated our recent Gay and Lesbian Special issue ar;a wrote all about it in the North Shore News. Doug says nomosexuals are "strange," "queers," and "pervert-person." He scoffs at their desire tor equai rights. Conversely, Doug appears to adore heterosexuality. We do believe he indulges. (Rumor has it he fathered kids.) You see, Doug is still mourning the end of the Godiva ride, an event he characterizes as the work of "healthy engineering students." Doug is incensed that some power on campus allowed the Gay and Lesbian issue while denying the engineers their ride. And he suggests that the fact The Ubyssey could publish such an issue is evidence that "our universities are still overfund- ed and that Bill Bennett should cut out some of the new dough he's promised them." First, Doug, there is no specific power that has chosen to allow one and deny the other unless that power is popular opinion — a fact which might suggest that your sense of morality is reactionary, narrow, and insensitive. Secondly, Doug, you certainly must recognize a difference between a group of slobbering engineers paying a prostitute to strip for them in a university building, and the journalistic attempt of a minority to educate the public in its quest for equal rights. But perhaps the most basic issue here, Doug, is your obvious interest in the sex lives of others. You suggest there are right reasons and wrong reasons for a man's penis to become erect, and you also portray a disdain for women who simply aren't interested in penises. It seems fair to assume that you believe tnat your own penis becomes erect for correct reasons — and you are obviously rather proud of that. But can you not appreciate the subjectivity of that experience? Oh, and that remark about the provincial government cutting university funding to kill The Ubyssey: Doug, sweetheart, The Ubyssey is not funded by the provincial government. Journalist's rule number one: check your facts. You always look so dumb when you're wrong. Prejudice and unquestioned fear subvert facts Recent letters to the Ubyssey have shown that once again people refuse to accept facts and information as they are presented to them, and instead choose to subvert the facts to unquestioned fears and prejudices. I am referring to the letters in response to the Gay/Lesbian issue, and in particular to the furor touched off by the graphics of the "Censored" article. Judging by the strong reaction to the excerpt of porn, it seems obvious that some people never actually read the article or thought about the issue involved. Although the graphics are, incidentally, the responsibility of the Ubyssey and not of the author, they did serve a purpose. Euphemism and gentility were shed in favor of a direct presentation of what is undeniably a sexual reality in our society. If it offended, it offended those who will not take even the most basic steps towards frank sexual discussion. By remaining silent and willfully uninformed, they help to perpetrate the sexual ignorance that hampers every aspect of our culture. The excerpt of admittedly bad gay porn published alongside the "Censored" article was never meant to serve for the arousal of horny gay men, despite how some readers might have interpreted it. The Ubyssey is not now nor has it ever been a forum for pornography. Nor, might I add, would all gas men find such porn appealing anyway, as some would find it impersonal and dehumanizing. (Not even to mention that such sexual practices are no longer considered "safe" in light of the probable spread of the AIDS virus.) Furthermore, to parallel the display of this story with the struggle against the Godiva Ride is to misunderstand both causes. The people of the CASC never opposed all forms of sexual expression; they opposed those which exemplified the domination and the exploitation of women by men. Porn has to be approached with an understanding of the social circumstances surrounding and creating it. And although the porn published in the paper is explicit, it is not violent and the two men are mutually consenting. But the meaning o:' the article itself should not be lo-t in the tur moil over the graphics. In the interest of protecting us from ourselves, state apparatus halts the distribution of texts and of magazines which are deemed offensive to vague codes of sexual, political, and religious acceptability- The unavailability of Torso or of a guide to vibrators is not of great personal significance to me, but the issue of a state right to unaccountable censorship is. 1 agree with the efforts of many to stop the production and distribution of works which exploit b r u i a I i t \\ and violence. However, state censorship of al! forms of sexual expression, particularly minority ones, is not a solution. It simply furthers the oppression of minorities by the majority and doesn't help end the process of sexual violence. Perhaps the inclusion of the sample of porn alongside the censorship article was not the wisest of political moves, as it can alienate those who prefer to approach sexual liberation in a cautious and quiet way. Neither, however, is it anything to be ashamed of. Sex, gay sex included, is par; of the rea! world. Deal win. ;..

Finally, lotsa thanks to all those who danced on Friday and Saturday, particularly Judy and Alexis for raising over $350 through sponsorship by dancing ten and seven hours respectively. Without all your help and support, the Dance-A-Thon would not have been the success that it was. Actions speak louder than words. Kevin Shelly graduate studies You may not have heard of CASC, so I'll fill you in on tne details. Earlier this year CASC tried to negotiate with an undergrad society from a faculty which is 88 per cent male. Every year this undergrad society holds an obnoxious public dominance ritual involving a naked woman. The society refused to negotiate with CASC — and you can confirm that with its president — so CASC rallied support for action to be taken to stop the ritual. The society in question modified their ritual this year and said they'd never hold another one, cross their heart and hope to die. CASC is still working on that issue, with the hope that they never do. In this, it is not acting as a small group of "morality police", but as representatives for the two thousand people who signed the petition to the President. So far, that iias oeeri the major issue for CASC. In fact, it's what brought us •together, so were certain to have consensus on :i. But I'm sure that if we had more people in the group that were concerned about the Ladies' Nights (like you, Mr. Sankey!), we could work on that as well. And I do say "we"; I am a male member of CASC, and proud of it. Rarely have I ever met a group of people so committed to what they believe, and so willing to spend so much time fighting for it. Can those who belittle CASC's work with petty ridicule say as much for themselves? Are they motivated instead by worn-out symbols of their own pride? Are they simply unable to argue their side as maturely as others have done? I fear we already know the answers. Jamie Andrews grad studies This year has seen a resurgence ot the Science Undergraduate Society. Many long hours ha\\e been spen; preparing events for the undergraduate students. Unfortunately there has been a substantia! problem: lack of funds. The S.L'.S. operates on an undergraduate fee levy set in 1979. As the buying power of a dollar has dropped sharply, we (the S.U.S.) are having trouble helping our constituents. To ease this problem, we are posing a referendum, "that the S.U.S. Undergraduate fee be raised to ten dollars." Before you gasp, that fee will still be the second lowest on campus (second only to Arts). Other undergraduate society fees range from $12.00 to more than $20.00 (eg. the E.U.S.). So, realistically we would still be running an austere budget. Wlia' do you get from the S.L'.S 7 Beer gardens, lockers, dances, newsletters, club grants. -Lf.e Chariot race, and. best of all. Science Week. As the S.L'.S. is also planning a speaker series, a first year science orientation handbook, and improvement and expansion of "the Underground" undergraduate student lounge in CPAX 6. All of these services come from the S.U.S. fee levy and are directed back to the constituency. To make all of this work, we need a better budget. Help us help you and vote YES for the new S.U.S. undergraduate fee of $10.00 on Feb. 27 and 28 in Hebb Theatre and Chemistry 250.

Produced on location. I was outraged by the content of the letter entitled "God against gays" in the Feb. 19 issue of the Ubyssey. The attitudes exemplified in this letter are not unassociated with the inquisition, the witch burnings and the holocaust. Mr. Szeto voiced a pharasaic "holier than thou" attitude which simply does not equate with the teachings of Christ. Christ's message was expressive of love and forgiveness, not the legalistic condemnation expressed by Mr. Szeto. Christ stated that no individual should judge another for fear that she/he be judged by God in the same manner. Indeed, Christ demanded that the individual examine one's own conscience before evaluating someone else. (Matt. 7:1-3) During His ministry, Christ lived with those people who society shunned. Should He have chosen this generation to reveal himself, he would have undoubtedly ministered to gay people. Christ himself suffered persecution much the same as Lesbians and Gay men do today. It is with them that His understanding and compassion lie. I would strongly recommend to Christians as deeply troubled by this issue as Mr. Szeto that they read But Lord They're Gay by Rev. S. Pennington or any other similar book which deals with this question in a positive manner. I. would also strongly caution these Christians to heed the words of Christ when he said, "He that is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone ..." (John 8:7). Tanis Sugden education 4 Tuesday, February 25, 1986 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 Phone lists open to abuse WINNIPEG (CUP)— Printing the full names, addresses and phone numbers of University of Winnipeg students in the campus telephone directory endangers women, said a U of W student. "It is an open invitation to har- rassment and possible sexual assault of women," said first year student Susan Smiel. "At two universities in the U.S. there was a direct in crease in assaults after the directory was put out." A U of W student said she received a series of harrassing phone calls in 1984 because her full name was printed in the directory. "Only my initial is in the city phone book," the student said. "Unless it was random chance, he must have gotten my name from the university directory." Directory coordinator Burton Youth forum delayed From page 1 St-Pierre argues in the memo that cabinet has to be convinced that youth have other concerns besides employment, that a ministry of youth is necessary as a spokesperson "both for the government within an important constituency of voters and for youth within a decision-making body that affects them profoundly. "We want to be seen as lean and uncontroversial — a low-key but necessary player within government," St-Pierre writes. Meanwhile no new date has been set for a national youth forum. Champagne said in an interview last October the forum would be held in Ottawa in January. Stewart Braddick, special assistant to the minister, now says the national forum has been postponed again. "It (the forum) is under active consideration in view of the current situation. A number of dates have been proposed and are under review," he said last week. He did not directly deny that the ministry would be cut. "I see no signals saying there isn't going to be a ministry of youth," he said. He said the government was planning new youth initiatives and that they would be "bigger, better, stronger, faster. "There will be a strategy come the new fiscal year and there will be a minister," Braddick said. Howard McCurdy, NDP youth critic, said the government had planned to shut down the ministry but now probably won't do so, Job training needed From page 1 learning is the model of the future and should be expanded and encouraged in Canadian universities wherever it is feasible." They call for the creation of a new Canadian Youth Channel and the banning of all TV advertising of alcoholic beverages. Young people should have volunteer opportunities at home and abroad, including a domestic "Young Canadians Community Service Program," says the report. It also suggests funds now being spent on unemployment insurance and social assistance be switched to public works and job training projects for young people. because of the national furor over the axing of Katimavik, and two reports released last week, from a Senate committee and an NDP task force, which call for urgent attention to youth problems. Robsor, said forms included ir registration kits gave students the option of having their names deleted from the directory. U of W wome'i' centre. \\oiuntoer Katherine De ine said most registration kits did not contain the form. "They were not available to students registering in person." Devine said. Robson said last years' directory contained the tames and phone numbers of students who did not wish to be listed He said he didn't know if any students received harrassing phone calls last year. The cost of publishing the directories is $3-4,000, said Michael Sunley, student council Internal Coordinator.

Alberta T6G 2J9 Page 8 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, February 25, 1986 UBC ends season in style By BRENDA CHINN The Thunderbird Women's Volleyball Team closed out their season in high style with two wins at home on the weekend. The victories give UBC an 8-7 record and third place in the Canada West Conference. Unfortunately, only the top two teams, Victoria and Saskatchewan, playoff for a chance at the national championship. On Friday night, the Thunderbirds had a large crowd of supporters to witness their win over the playoff bound University of Saskatchewan by a score of 3-2 (15-7, 4-15, 13-15, 15-10, 16-14). Sheila Jones led the T-Birds with 27 kills and Tara Senft added to her lead in Canada West spiking with 25 kills. Trina Hewlett was a major force in the win, stopping the Huskiettes with six stuff blocks. In the final game, the Thunderbirds were able to ward off the Saskatchewan threat with strong setting by Amy Ku to coordinate the UBC attack. The final match of five-year veteran Tara Senft's UBC career was highlighted by a 3-0 (15-3, 15-3, 15-8) victory over the University of Alberta Pandas on Saturday night. Senft had 13 kills in the match and was crowned the number one spiker in Canada West with 271 kills for the season. The win over the Pandas was a true team effort with a total of 10 service aces and all players contributing to the attack statistics. Notably, Lisa Hague and Christine Martin came off the bench to supply seven and five kills respectively. Blocking was also a dominant factor with Maureen McBride and Liza Snoeck leading the T-Birds with five stuff blocks. Heather Olafsson and Louise Paniers also came off the bench to provide excellent service reception, allowing the Pandas to score only two service aces. Strong performances should also be credited to starters, Karen Pa- quette and Kelli Wright, for their steady defense throughout the match. The Thunderbirds are now looking forward to a successful season next year with 11 returning players. -neil lucente photo UBC'S TARA SENFT capping a brilliant five year career pounds in another point. Despite a successful season the 'Birds failed to make the playoffs. Thunderbirds protest for playoffs By RICHARD BROWER The UBC Thunderbirds filed a protest on Friday with the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union. They claim that the Saskatchewan Huskies used a player no longer eligilble for university competition in two hockey games between the teams in early January. If the C.I.A.U. decides this week that Brent Hamilton was an ineligible player for the January 10th and 11th games, then the Huskies will forfeit the games to UBC and the Thunderbirds will eliminate them from the playoffs. It would be the first post season appearance for the T'Birds since 1977. UBC coach, Fred Masuch, claims that Brent Hamilton was no longer eligible after he graduated in December and took on a full time job here in Vancouver. Under C.I.A.U. guidelines, a player's main occupation must be that of a student. "We're on our return flight back to Vancouver and he's on the plane with us. It seemed a little strange that a full time student from Saskatchewan would be sojourning out to Vancouver," said Masuch. Hamilton was in Vancouver to begin a training program with a Vancouver investment firm. "As it turns out he's here on a training program with Pemberton, Houston, Willoughby and it's our understanding he's a full time employee. He evens plays hockey with them at Thunderbird arena before our Friday practices," said Masuch. The complaint first went to the Canada West league officials. They couldn't rule Hamilton ineligible because he was still registered in the necessary amount of courses at Saskatchewan, and wasn't breaking league rules. UBC has had to appeal to the C.I.A.U. Under their guideline an athlete must be a full time student. Saskatchewan says Hamilton is no longer eligible. He hasn't played hockey for them since coming to Vancouver, but they say he was still eligible on January 11th. In this weekend's play, the Thunderbirds hosted Lethbridge Saturday and Sunday, winning 9-3 and 4-3. Dean Thompson led the scoring spree on Saturday with a hat trick. UBC's new offensive threat, Fred Ledlin, also scored three over the weekend. Both wins were a must to keep playoff hopes alive, as Saskatchewan won their final two games with Regina. If the Hamilton protest goes through, then UBC and Saskatchewan will finish the season tied for fourth, the last playoff spot, with 14 wins and 14 losses. The T'Birds will break the tie with a superior record in games between the teams, taking three of four with Saskatchewan forfeiting the two disputed games. -# 1% $Jk f£ HONG KONG CHINESE FOODS 5732 UNIVERSITY BLVD.
