LXIII. No. 46 Vancouver, B.C. Tuesday, January 27,1981 **»» Students jeer at politicians By HEESOK CHANG Alma Mater Society executive candidates faced a hostile, restless, noisy, and generally disinterested crowd at Monday's public forum. A handful of students gathered in the SUB conversation pit to hear candidates plod through two minute campaign speeches. The students responded to the familiar campaign rhetoric of the candidates with minimal applause and scattered laughter. Chair of the meeting, Len Clarke (AMS director of finance), set the tone of the forum by saying of the candidates, "If you ask them hard questions, they leave; they run right out of here." A student responded with, "I believe it." Crowd interest grew, however, when the question period began. Mark Sachs (arts 3) took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction with the performance of the current executive. Sachs directed his questions at vice- president Marlea Haugen, who is running for president. Sachs asked Haugen to defend issues ranging from the increase in tuition fees to the high Pit beer prices. "I certainly haven't seen much commitment from this council. You are practically non-existent around here. I don't know what you do," he said. Haugen claimed that Sachs was "jumping the gun" and proceeded to defend council's performance. When Sachs then began to attack council's general lack of leadership, Clarke interrupted with, "Can we have a question please, instead of making a speech?" Sachs said council members were always complaining of student apathy, but were trying to shut up a genuinely concerned student bent on expressing his views. At this point, AMS administration director Craig Brooks, who was FOLLOW THE BOUNCING ball and you will find happiness, says merry grin of energetic volleyball player as she sets War Memorial gym wall graphic up for spike by two-dimensional forward. Lines show course of complex volley which began play. Nice photo, eh? So who is it, you ask. We wish we knew. What we do know is there's a great photographer out there somewhere for whom we have the perfect job. SUB 241k today at 5:30 p.m. CITR to get autonomy and air play By ARNOLD HEDSTROM The first step for CITR becoming an autonomous, student run station broadcasting on a low power FM frequency has been taken. CITR president Hilary Stout, said Friday, "The technical portion of our low power FM license has been approved. We could, with a lot of work, make it to the April hearings of the Canadian radio telecommunications commission and be on the air in May." Technical approval means that the station has secured a frequency on which to broadcast in the Vancouver area. The frequency is the last one available for broadcasting. But before CITR signs on for its first broadcast day on lower mainland air ways it first must convince the CRTC that it can meet two qualifications. The station must have a board of directors which is entirely composed * of Canadians. Stout said this qualification is the hardest of the two to meet. Under the current station organization, the Alma Mater Society, students council is the board of directors of the station. But under the AMS constitution foreign students are permitted to sit on council. According to CITR vice- president Diane Bodner, the station will request that a separate society be set up autonomous from council. It would be composed of some Canadian members of council, the station and the student council executive. The second qualification which must be met under CRTC regulations is the promise of performance. At the spring CRTC hearings in Vancouver CITR must show its programming will be a worthwhile addition to what is currently offered. The station will also have to assure a certain amount of community programming. Stout has no doubts about the value of CITR to the university community and the community at large. She sees the potential for Vancouver to become more aware and closer to the university and more knowledgeable of what happens on the campus. The university community off campus will be able to receive CITR's broadcast without having a cable hook-up to a FM receiver. The history of CITR's bid to receive a low power license stretches back four years. And just 19 months ago the prospect of success was bleak when the CRTC froze all unused frequencies in the lower mainland. See page 2: CANDIDATES Persky preaches loud fee protest By STEVE McCLURE The best way to fight tuition fee increases is to "complain as loudly as I speak," social critic Stan Persky told an Alma Mater Society sponsored tuition fee forum on Friday. "I'm against tuition fee increases for the same reasons students are," Persky, who is running for UBC chancellor, told 30 people in SUB 205. "I hear people say it's getting to be a luxury again to go to university. That's part of what we were fighting for in the '60s." UBC's administration has proposed increasing fees by 13 per cent next year, while other colleges and universities face even larger percentage increases. Tuition fee committee member Maureen Boyd, who chaired the forum, said UBC chancellor J. V. Clyne was unable to attend Friday's meeting because of "a pressing lunch engagement." But Persky said that the chancellor should take a more active interest in student affairs. "The chancellor, the administration, and the faculty ought to have some connection to the students?' he said. At present the chancellor's duties are largely ceremonial. "I see the chancellor as being responsible to the students," Persky said. Persky said inflation, accessiblity and democracy in university affairs were the three main issues facing students. "If you don't have any say in terms of fees what sort of say do you have in the way they organize education?" Accessiblily is a problem, said one student, because people are already filtered out by the time they get to university. "It's hard to find people who the fee increase will actually affect," she said. "Where are the people from the east side of the city?" "For every time you raise the fees a few bucks you lose a certain number of students," Persky said. "You ought to be allowed to come here for no fees," Persky said. "The money could come from general revenue." "I feel that students should in some way pay for their education, perhaps later on when they can afford it," said Bill Maslechko, candidate for AMS administration director. "I think that a 13 per cent increase is bullshit," said James Hollis, AMS external affairs officer candidate. But Hollis added that he was not entirely against fee increases. One possible solution to the problem, according to Persky, was to have a students' union that would negotiate with the provincial government over fee increases. Maslechko later criticized Persky for turning the fee forum into "a chancellorship election speech." The next meeting of the tuition fee committee will be Thursday at 6 p.m. It happened one morning By VERNE McDONALD It was a busy Saturday morning for 18-year-old Alexander MacLean while most of Vancouver slept in. First he allegedly broke into UBC's animal care centre between 8:30 and 9 a.m., spread gasoline, lit it and clambered over the front gate to make his escape. At 9:10 a.m. he lost control of his car while driving away from UBC at Crown Street and Marine Drive, rolling it three times and transforming it into a twisted wreck. White and shaken but sporting only a few cuts, MacLean was driven home by solicitous Vancou ver city police officers. Later in the day, the RCMP arrested him and charged him with arson. Damage from the fire amounted to a few thousand dollars, animal care coordinator John Gregg said Monday. Gregg said his office suffered a broken window, burned furniture and burned carpet and ceiling tiles. "I guess I'll have to work somewhere else for a while," he said. It was the second act of vandalism aimed at the centre in a little over three months. On Oct. 23, vandals cut through the fence around the centre, spray painted slogans on two buildings, slashed the tires of two vans and pouring sugar into the gas tank of one. The centre has attempted to educate the public about research involving animals at UBC, Gregg said, but he doubted it would be effective in stopping further attacks. "I don't think anything we do will affect the way these people think.-They're very dedicated people and nothing will change that." Gregg predicted a lull in such activity, however, because of Mac- Lean's arrest. Page 2 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, January 27,1961 Candidates meet From page 1 chairing the floor, cried, "Would you ask a question or shut up." A student in the crowd asked, "Is that an example of the communication between the students and the present AMS council?" Only two other students took the opportunity to ask questions of the. candidates. The two representatives of the Platypus International party, Kevin Twa and Charles Menzies, generated laughter with their campaign promises to implement free beer nights twice a week, and to create a Hawaiian holiday fund to send exhausted students to recuperate in the sun. But generally the audience was as disinterested as before. The candidates for AMS president are Haugen and Twa; the AMS vice-presidential candidates are Menzies and Peter Mitchell. Running for director of finance are: Jane Loftus, Menzies, and Rob Swiniarski. The director of* administration race has four candidates: Alexander Fedyk, Stephen Henderson, Bill Maslechko, and Twa. Chris Fulker, James Hollis, and- Twa are contesting the external affairs office. Fedyk had no representation at the meeting. Ro»y Hand anakaa ar^lva.

Many TAs, tutors and markers, however, remain unconvinced of the importance of their vote. A large turnout is necessary for a quick resolution of the contract dispute. Otherwise, the results of the vote will be indecisive, and the decision will be that of a minority. Many non-union TAs believe that these issues have little effect on them. But the contract that is to be settled is binding on all of them. It will decide such questions as whether membership in the union will be open or closed. Other TAs believe that non-union members should not vote, since the strike does not affect them. This sort of selective view of democracy is unacceptable, as the contract (and union dues) apply to everyone. The bargaining unit (all TAs, tutors and markers) has a wide variety of people in it. Both within and outside the union, the way in which one would vote is by no means obvious. The majority of union members seem to favor the strike. Yet there are those who did not join intentionally, but only (so they believed) to have a voice in the unionization vote. There are those who were told when joining that anything less than an open shop would be "undemocratic," or that the possibility of a strike was "ridiculous." There are others, non-union members, who favor the strike to show the union their support. And then there is the remainder, those who do not care or do not know about the issues. The facts about where the negotiations now stand are available, if not well publicized. Wages have been settled, and a grievance procedure set up. All TAs and markers will be paying union dues, the majority of which will go to CUPE. What is under dispute is union membership, whether it will be open, or closed, under the "Carleton formula." Under this formula (TAs at Carleton first used it), all TAs and markers are union members. However, they can withdraw if they "declare a religious or conscien tious objection to membership in a trade union," and submit the required form within ten days of the contract ratification date or employment date. Any person who has submitted a revocation card is not eligible to participate in decertification or strike votes. Under the open shop, TAs can join at any time during their employment. Under either arrangement, though, once someone becomes a member, they do not have- the option of leaving the union. The union believes that it needs the union shop to prevent an annual membership drive from sapping its strength. On the other hand, open membership tends to attract more active members. It also forces the union to justify its positions and raison d'etre. An open shop also yields membership figures that truly reflect the union's support on campus. Finally, what scenarios can we expect as a result of this vote? If there is strong support for the strike, the administration may settle immediately. Failing this, a strike of TAs might be called, with union members suspending their duties. The most radical scenario is that of a university-wide strike if other campus unions walk out in sympathy. If the vote fails decisively, then the union may decide to settle, or it may decide to keep negotiating. The third, and worst, possibility is that the vote is indecisive, and the union and administration remain at a standstill. For these reasons, I urge all TAs, tutors and markers, union and nonunion, graduate and undergraduate, to vote this Wednesday, January 28, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at International House (by the Grad Center). Richard Szeliski graduate studies 7 TAs need union security On Wednesday, January 28, the Teaching Assistants' Union will hold a strike vote. The one outstanding issue between the union and the university is union security. The recent banter surrounding the remaining issue has ignored the context of this issue for this union in Canada 1981 The public sector is a new group to be organized. Strength and determination of public sector workers made their unions legal and viable. University academic employees are an even more recent group to organize within the public sector. Because Teaching Assistants are members of the university community, and particularly as they are students, the union security issue is being blurred by the university through the use of an academic ideology. The academic argument has been that the union security proposal hinders free choice. Firstly, that argument is a totally incorrect interpretation of the union's proposal. By a very simple procedure, anyone can refuse to join the union within a specified period. More importantly, the Highest paid? Who is the highest paid woman on the faculty at UBC? How does her salary compare with a man in a similar rank and position? Thank you for considering an article regarding "salary facts." I became curious about the above questions as I was reading your rcent article on tution fees "Fee forum to go without admin" (published Jan. 20). S. Wong university's argument is designed to invoke an academic set of values in order to deny union security. The university is using this ploy simply to mask the fact that it wants a weak union to negotiate future contracts. But talk of freedom of choice goes well in regions of higher learning. The TAU needs a union security clause for the identical reason than any other union needs a security clause: most unions would be weaker without it. Because of the particular circumstances of our union, a union security clause is even more critical. Both the rapid turnover of employees and the geographical isolation of departments and individuals make contact with our bargaining unit much more difficult than in normal settings. The university opposes union security for the identical reasons that any other management opposes union security. Only the liberal talk is tailored to the academic environment — not the motive behind it. We urge you to demand that the future strength of the Teaching Assistants Union is protected. Vote yes in the strike vote tomorrow.

Tuesday, January 27,1981 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 Who are your friends, Kurt? This is probably what you wanted when you wrote your your last letter. (What's Wrong with Women? Jan. 13, 1981.) You seem to delight in getting hate mail from irate women. Perhaps it's the only contact you get with those of the opposite sex. It certainly seems so from your last article. You seem to think women are all gorgeous vixens with hearts of ice, or shall I say "empty-headed and callous females," to quote you. (Only in the last paragraph do you mention "unpretty" girls but won't admit to their being ugly.) All your female friends must be prostitutes because those are the only females I can think of with any of those qualifications. There are very few others who fit the bill and are not in that line of work. Your whole letter deals with the "poor male" who finds rejection at every turn from women. You may be surprised to know that women feel as much rejection as men. Never being asked out is just as bad as always being turned down. This ". . .shakes her confidence, reinforces her shyness, perhaps pushes her into the abyss of self hate. Thus making it impossible for her to even think of being the instigator of a relationship." The only reasons I can think of for you to want women to start to do the asking, is to boost your male ego or get kicks out of seeing a woman pick up a man for a change. The title should have read, What's Wrong with Kurt? You say "men are always forced to act as if they were the ones to want something from women — a scenario that still encourages women to barter sexual favors in exchange for gifts and numerous concessions." I say it's garbage! No one is forced to do anything. I've never seen any man's arm being twisted when he wanted something even if he knew that there was a price. And, if you're interested in a normal relationship, it certainly wouldn't be with one who "barters sexual favors" because, as I have said before, these are not normal women. I just wonder how you got to know so many. Could it be that your own rejection read things into their characters before you got to know them well? Again, further on, you mention that women are in an "enviable bargaining position." All of them? You must be joking. What about men? They have sex appeal too! There are just as many male counterparts that do their share of "bargaining." Then you have the audacity to say ". . .quite a few men to be born with the need of love and to depend on women for this love." Is this to say that women don't have feelings and the need for love too? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot — women are just empty-headed and callous with no emotions. For a matter of your information, I happen to know that a great majority of men like the "superior" role they play and would feel very awkward to be asked out by a lady. Yes, these people are very normal. Believe it or not. Again you think women heartless when you say "women who disrespect shy men. . ." and proceed to give the impression that none of us women like shy men. On the contrary, most of the women I know would much rather seriously date a shy or less aggressive man than one who can't wait to jump into bed.

There are two kinds of us, too. Shy women are as interesting as shy men when they feel comfortable. You seem to think that the female alone has shaped our society and how the two sexes must act towards each other. It takes two to tango, chum. Women have been trying to change that for the last several years, or haven't you noticed? It's only the male who won't let go of his "macho" role that won't let us. How dare you say that the risk of rejection is smaller for women than men. It is the same! "Poor male" my foot. Maybe you can't let yourselves treat us as equals in the work force but have the decency to allow us the same feelings. There are just as many women as men staying home weekends feeling the same rejection. "Whatever the cause, an occasional rejection can only enrich the spectrum of female emotions and make women more sympathetic to the male predicament." Good God, man, where do you come from? That statement is utter rubbish. Just place male in where it reads female and get the other, equal side to the picture. The more I analyze, the angrier I get and I know that that is exactly what you want. So I'll stop. I hope you find help with your frustrations and please don't insult our intelligence further by taking crayon in hand to write a sequel.

After a 7-4 loss on Friday night, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies showed why they are ranked fifth in the nation as they trounced the 'Birds 9-2 on Saturday evening. UBC was first to score on Friday night in a fast-paced first period as Tom Ouchi moved in from the corner and let a backhand shot loose that eluded Huskie goalie Steve Amiss. Saskatchewan's first goal came on a power play with less than a minute left in the period when Rey Hudson scored from the slot. Greg Wiebe gave Saskatchewan the lead in the second period on a fast snap shot that eluded Paterson's glove. Drew Hunt of UBC quickly tied the game when he picked up a loose puck in front of the Huskie goal and lifted it into the net. Barry Zan- ier made the score 3-2 UBC when his wrist shot from the point de flected off a Saskatchewan defender and went rising into the net. At the start of the third period, Wiebe got his second goal of the night for the Huskies after skating around behind the net and slipping the puck in behind Paterson. A minute later UBC's Bill Holowaty scored to put the 'Birds out in front 4-3. Bill Trenamen scored the eventual winning goal on a breakaway, as he easily beat the Saskatchewan backup goalie Bob Dougall, who was called on to replace Amiss. Hugh Cameron and Holowaty finished off the scoring for the 'Birds in the third period and Del Chapman scored for the Huskies in the final minute of play as the 'Birds won 7-4. Saturday night, the Huskies came out strong and by the end of the first two periods they held a commanding 6-1 lead. The Huskies easily downed the 'Birds 9-2, while Randy Wiebe was the top goal getter for Saskatchewan with three. UBC, now with a record of three wins and 12 losses, take on the University of Calgary Dinosaurs this weekend at the Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre. ( 'Bird droppings j The Thunderbird basketball team ran into a hot University of Lethbridge on the weekend and dropped two games. The Lethbridge Pronghorns led by Al Chappie's high percentage shooting defeated UBC 87-77 on Friday night and 81-80 Saturday night. 'Bird coach Peter Mullins said Chappie was UBC's main nemesis in the two games. On Saturday night Chappie scored 11 straight Lethbridge points in the fourth quarter to secure the one point victory. Mullins said that both teams played well on Saturday and it was just a matter of who got the breaks at the end. John Doughty was the 'Bird top scorer with 20 points while Kim O'Leary and Bob Forsyth contributed 16. UBC did not help its cause by sending Lethbridge to the foul line 22 times while only going there eight times themselves. On Friday night the 'Birdmen played poorly according to Mullins. They shot only 43 per cent from the floor compared with Lethbridge's 58 per cent. O'Leary was the game's top scorer with 23 points while Forsyth added 20. Chappie was eight for 10 from the floor in leading Lethbridge with 18 points. UBC has only won one game since Christmas and now have a four and six record. This leaves them in fourth place in the Canada West Athletic Association and they have to win from here on in to catch second place Saskatchewan for the last playoff spot. * • * The UBC soccer team played Simon Fraser University on Saturday and those who think SFU is the best college soccer team in town will have to reevaluate their thinking. The 'Birds got two goals from Gordie Johnson and one from David Jones to defeat the Clan 3-0. UBC coach Joe Johnson said that the was pleased with his team's performance considering the reputation of SFU. He said that his team possibly in awe of this reputation started very slowly but after realizing "there was nothing there" took over and dominated the game. This is the first time that UBC has beaten SFU in a major sport this year. The only problem is that UBC, unlike SFU, does not consider soccer a major sport and the game did not have the usual athletic department backed hoopla that accompanies a SFU-UBC basketball or football game. * ■» » For the women's and men's volleyball teams the second Canada West Athletic Association tournament ended exactly like the first one. This means the women are still one of the top teams in the country and the men are still struggling. The Thunderettes finished the tournament with a second place 4-1 record. They went down to Saskatchewan by the score of 3-1. All of the games were close and two of the losses were by two and three points. The men were two and three in the tournament which is exactly how they ended after the first one. They beat the University of Victoria and the University of Lethbridge. UBC is now in fourth spot. The next tournament is this coming weekend in Victoria. * « * The UBC ski team ventured across the border to partake in the University of Washington-Husky Invitational Ski meet Friday and Saturday and returned home with top honors. The women's team cleaned up, finishing first overall. Darcy Estabrook won the giant slalom, Kathy O'Sullivan won the slalom and the individual combined, and Mia Davis placed first in the cross country. The men's team finished second overall behind the University of Puget Sound. Bruce Hetland was second in both the giant slalom and the slalom, and Ole Anker-Rasch was first in the cross country. * » • The UBC wrestling team lost a tough decision to the University of Western Washington in Bellingham this weekend. Although they dropped the match 30-19, the 'Birds did have some outstanding individual efforts. Wayne Yeastings, in the 118-lb. class, and Rob Jones (126-lb.) both pinned their opponents, while Randy Takasaki (134-lb.) and Marty Gleave (142-lb.) both won.

MORE ELECTION COVERAGE From page 3 A full description of Charles Menzies' platform may be read in the special Platypus International section on page three. One of the main points of Rob Swiniarski's campaign is to humanize the position of finance director. "The biggest point that I'd like to get across is just expanding the job beyond the dollars and cents and the books. I think all those issues such as the south side centre and the pub, that's implicit with the job, that's part of the territory. Because being responsible to the students means that you have to make those decisions in their best interests," Swiniarski said. He said the fact that his experience in finance is limited to high school courses in business and a first year business course at UBC doesn't really bother him. "On the one dimension there is money management. It entails a bit of exercising of judgment to make sure that nobody goes out of line but it's just handling a cheque book except that the numbers are bigger. "I don't mean to trivialize the job, there's a lot of responsibility, but it's fairly static at just preparing budgets and signing cheques," Swiniarski Said. He said although he was asked to run by two other candidates, he would vote as an individual. "You can't take undergraduate societies into account when you're working for all the students. That's just being irresponsible," Swiniarski said. He said he would like to see students better informed about the various levels of UBC's government. "They have to know how all the organizations are working: the AMS, the board of governors, senate. They have to know the paths and essentially what they need is a road map and I don't think they've ever been given one. "I think probably too many ideas go by the wayside because they don't know who to talk to. If you let students know who is in charge and what the proper channels are, it could certainly turn around communications," Swiniarski said. He believes the question of surpluses depends on what plans the AMS has. "I don't think there should be any surpluses, certainly not of the magnitude that there are now. But it wouldn't be a bad idea to have surpluses if there are speciific intentions or purposes for their use in the future and not just to put hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank." Swiniarski said he "is not terribly familiar" with proposed SUB renovations but expects he would have time to familiarize himself with them over the summer, after the referendum has been held. "From what I've seen so far I think they should probably invite a little more student input. I think it would be advisable to explicitly state their position on it as a point of reference," he said. Swiniarski also felt the student board representatives let students down during the tuition fee debate but that council work, although unspectacular, was satisfactory. "I'm not the type of person who really enjoys ignoring things or sitting back and watching," he said. "I like to get involved where the action is." Administration A full description of Kevin Twa's platform may be read in the special Platypus International section on page three. Administration IMASLECHKO, Billl Continue the current building policy, improve services, and make the Alma Mater Society more accessible to students are three objectives Bill Maslechko hopes to achieve if elected as AMS director of administration. But Maslechko also will push for more council involvement in areas See page 8: THE Page 8 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, January 27,1981 Native women demand control of their children B.C. Indian women are demanding both new status and control of their own children as constitutional rights, a member of a provincial native group said Friday. "Now our children are under the control of the ministry of human resources," said Barb Kobierski of the Indian Homemakers' Association of B.C. "We want to lower the number of apprehensions of children (to non-Indian homes). We want control of our own children." Kobierski condemned the provincial government's right to move Indian children from their own families and seek their adoption elsewhere. She read aloud to IS people in SUB 130 a presentation made last September by association president Rose Charlie: "It is precisely upon our family unit that the most incredible and immeasurably destructive pressures have been applied by the dominant society and its institutions, through missionaries, residential schools, government-created dependency, and cultural suppression. "Our immediate recommendation to the prime minister and the minister of Indian affairs is to ensure the legal, human and aboriginal rights of our native Indian children." (This brief was presented in Ottawa to prime minister Trudeau, Indian affairs minister John Munro and the Canadian advisory council on the status of women.) Native women must be allowed to maintain their native status if they marry a non-Indian, said Kobierski. Currently, such women lose their status and are legally recognized as non-entities — neither Indian or white, she added. As the wife of a non-Indian, Kobierski advocates revisions to the Indian Act to alleviate this problem. But the Indian Act, under which Munro says all native changes must occur, cannot sufficiently improve Indian rights, she said. "My people are not so naive as to believe the Indian Act will continue to protect what little is left for the generations to follow," she said, reading from the brief. "My people realize that in order to protect their aboriginal rights their rights must be entrenched in the new constitution with the Indian Act." She said the federal government has offered B.C. Indians only empty promises in acknowledging fishing and land rights. "(Justice minister Jean) Chretien said: 'We will respect all treaties that have already been signed.' But B.C. hasn't signed any treaties." The provincial government, too, has blatantly ignored native rights in the constitution, said Kobierski. "B.C. has never, ever consulted the Indian people." From the brief, she added: "The lack of inclusion of Indian aboriginal rights in British Columbia's constitutional proposals for federal recognition is a serious omission. "It is a very well known fact that native people here in B.C. have been stripped of their lands and all its wealth . . . B.C. Indian people have had a continual struggle to keep what little land was allocated to them under the colonial government." Kobierski said members of her association, which is made up of 90 clubs across the province, will continue to lobby for support of native rights and keep Indian women informed of ongoing political action. Largest student newspaper joins ad co-op Special to The Ubyssey The University of Toronto's Varsity, Canada's largest student newspaper with a circulation of 20,000, signed a contract Monday for the sale of national advertising with Canadian University Press Media Services. CUP Media Services is a unique student-owned and operated cooperative advertising agency, created earlier this month by student journalists. In a busy day for the new service, the University of Winnipeg's Uniter, with a circulation of 3,000, also signed Monday. The Uniter was the first of 62 CUP college and university papers to sign. Monday was the first working day following the release of the contract. Meanwhile, the Peak's board of directors at Simon Fraser University will vote on joining the cooperative venture on Wednesday. Capilano College's student council is expect ed to make a decision on Thursday. "CUP Media Services will be run democratically with input from student journalists across Canada," says Bill Tieleman, a former CUP national executive member. "All revenue realized will benefit students rather than private interests." The news service was created by CUP, a national student newspaper cooperative, after members decided to let a contract expire with Youth- stream Canada Ltd. THE LAST OF THE AMS ELECTION C0VMA6E From page 7 like tuition and the quality of education. "That is not what my job entails, but I do support them," says Maslechko. "There has been inadequate council input on these decisions." He also feels this year's council has been successful in pursuing their goals but were not responsive to issues that arose during the year. "Tuition caught council off- guard," Maslechko said. "Building is an important issue but it is not our only priority." Some of the services which he hopes to improve include upgrading the copy and ticket centres which started this year, more grants to clubs and undergrad societies for travel and development, and improvement in the operation of the Pit. "It (the Pit) is people's major bitch. They don't like the change in atmosphere or surroundings and a lot of people are not going to the Pit," says Maslechko. He also proposes to form a committee to investigate the facility and make recommendations on how it can be changed. While Maslechko wants to continue the AMS building program he would also like to give students the chance to vote on continuing the fee. "I don't feel the fee should be continued unless students want special projects deemed worthy and nothing more." But he hopes students will support the SUB expansion program. From his experience on the student administrative commission this year, he has seen that there is not enough room in the building to meet the demand from clubs. On other financial matters Maslechko would not like to see another $200,000 surplus year. "A surplus just means that someone is getting the short end of the stick. The Pit should never run a surplus. It is a tax on beer drinkers," he said. In addition to his experience on SAC over the last 12 months, Maslechko has worked with people as a house advisor at Totem Park and has been involved in organizing with the Totem Park Residence Association. On other issues in this election, Maslechko supports the women's committee, is in favor of autonomy for The Ubyssey and CITR if the move is supported by popular referendum, and he supports the AMS leaving the Association of Student Councils. Administration IHENPERSON, Stephen] The main goal of Stephen Henderson's campaign for administration director is to improve relations between council and clubs. "About a year ago I started getting involved in student politics (he was appointed to student administrative commission and SUB building commission). I ran in the first place because the war gaming society was coming under heavy criticism by the Alma Mater Society executive and was threatened with the constitution," he said. "I'd like to see better relations between clubs and the AMS. I think in the past the AMS has tended to impose itself on the clubs," Henderson said. "There seems to be an attitude of confrontation between the two bodies. I'd like to replace this with a more sympathetic understanding of clubs," he said. Henderson adds he would also like to see a more open AMS. "I'd personally like a lot of suggestions, opinions and criticism. I want criticism because I think it helps me see other points of view. It's always good to get alternative opinions," Henderson said. "I admit when I'm wrong and I'm willing to accept other ideas unlike the present AMS executive, who, if they have a wrong opinion or a wrong point of view, stick with it. They won't change," he said. Henderson is newly elected to senate, but says he is not afraid of spreading himself too thin if also elected to the administration director job, saying he plans to take a reduced course load next year. Henderson said he would like to see improved communications through monthly student forums. The proposed SUB renovations are one area where there should be more student input, he said. "As far as-SUB building renovations are concerned, I'm surprised the AMS has not received more input. In fact, they have no input from the students right now. "Those renovation plans were designed by an architect and the AMS executive, with no student input," he said. "I disagree with knocking out those meeting rooms off the cafeteria because there is not enough meeting space for clubs." Henderson said the plaza extension should have student-run shops, not private, commercial stores. "Or use that space as another partyroom," he added. Henderson said he was dissatisfied with the performance of council this year. "I think council's job has been less than competent because they were embroiled in too many political issues and have not tried to serve student issues. It has become a political arena, not a place to serve student interests, which is what it was intended to do," he said. Administration A full description of J. Alexander Fedyk's platform was unavailable at press time. The Ubyssey regrets the lack of an interview, especially since Fedyk did not attend the all candidates' meetings to state his platform orally. External Abolishing the teaching assistants' union, slashing the women's committee budget to $100, and abolishing student administrative council are some of the more questionable views held by external affairs candidate Chris Fulker. "I think this TAU is a bunch of b.s. and should be disbanded. And I think Discovery Park is a bunch of nonsense too, but while it's there you should oppose it all the way. And I think they should abolish SAC too and fire some of those secretaries in the AMS office because they're not doing anything anyway," Fulker said. When asked about the controversial budget problems of the women's committee Fulker commented, "I think their funding should be cut back to the $100 that everybody was suggesting. "Anyways, if I had my way they wouldn't have so much money to throw around. The whole AMS wouldn't." Fulker, who was recently elected to the senate, said if he was elected and found the combined jobs to be too hard he would resign from one. "I put my name in before I won the senate so I figured, why take it out?" Fulker said. Fulker said the fact that he is a B.C. separatist would definitely af fect his views if he were to be elected. "I think that we should be more concerned with what should be going on with UBC instead of looking at what's going on at Dalhousie or other universities. They (student organizations) are all playing games anyway, all those guys." Fulker is also against UBC being a member in the National Union of Students. "It's a lot of trouble paying people to go around the country and going to a lot of conventions and all that, and that's why I don't want to be in it (NUS)." Fulker also believes the position of external affairs is "Mickey Mouse." "It doesn't seem very necessary to have it in the first place. It could be better done by the president or the vice president. I think it should go the way of the passenger pigeon, but while it's here, what the hell," Fulker said. He said student involvement is essential in order for council to be effective. "I don't think you can do anything until students want something. I don't think that unless people get motivated that you'll be able to do anything. I mean, face it, students are pretty moribund these days. "Until they get involved they don't deserve representation, I think," Fulker ssaid. He would also like to see less money spent on advertising public meetings because of the low student turnout. "I'm running because I'm interested," Fulker said, "I'm running because I think I could do a good job and I don't think the others could." External James Hollis hopes to bring a professional business attitude to the external affairs office. "I intend to make the external affairs office a respectacle office in the eyes of the student community and the external world. I'd like to see it professionally run. "I can see myself making valuable contributions to the AMS. I've seen deficiencies which my expertise in business management and political experience can correct," Hollis said. Hollis has held a job as a sales engineer for commercial elec tronics, which he feels has given him valuable public relations experience. The candidate has also worked as an NDP campaigner for three years in both provincial and federal elections, which he believes has given him experience in "real life politics." Hollis is promoting co-operative action. "I believe in co-ordinating with other student organizations. For example, I would like to see the AOSC-NUS question re-examined — not necessarily to renormalize ties, but to examine whether such an action would be favourable — this is not to be misconstrued as a blind rush to join up," Hollis said. Hollis is not running on a pronounced radical or conservative platform. "I'm just left of center," he said. "I do not subscribe to the 'let them eat cake' syndrome of the provincial government, nor the 'no fees on anything' attitude of the extreme left. Moderation, I guess, is the key word." Hollis feels that the AMS student council performance has been better this year than last year. However, he added, "I question their surplus, of course, and their media presentation — communication with students — needs improving." Two of Hollis' objectives are to see a major housing project get started and to improve communication between his office and the student public via weekly update announcements in The Ubyssey. Hollis' strongest stance is on the issue of racism, which he feels is a problem on campus. "I would never support the KKK, and I do not recognize the KKK's right to freedom of speech, because the KKK wish to remove, infringe on other group's or organization's freedom," he said. Hollis said he would counter subversive KKK actions through the formation of committees, and never through violence. "The modus operandi of my position would not be as a star runner, but as a coordinator — as a coordinator organizing subcommittees, and as a leader providing direction — not bantering," Holli concluded.
