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

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.

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

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

Large TA turnout needed in strike vote
The TAU strike vote is coming up
this Wednesday. 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).

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.

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. (Which is how a lot

You mention the two types of
men; aggressive and shy. Again,
what about women? 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

Hockey 'Birds
take win at last
By KENT WESTERBERG
The Thunderbirds men's hockey
team won their first league game
since November this weekend, but
couldn't manage to win two in a
row.
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."

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

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.

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.
