Since the Trudeau government came into power in 1968, funding for research in Canada has decreas- from 1.2 per cent of the gross national product to less than one per cent, chemistry department head Charles McDowell said Wednesday. "This discourages students and puts Canada in a poor position in an era when high technological expertise is needed," said McDowell. He said Pierre Trudeau's Liberal government is completely behind the times, and added that the country is now paying for it. McDowell said a recent government decision to increase research funding to 1.5 per cent of the GNP by 1983 is too little too late, and the decision to cut research spending 10 years ago went against the advice of leading Canadian scientists of the time. McDowell criticized the government's plan to become self- sufficient in energy, and said it would never work given the difficulties experienced in getting research money. He said there was a research proposal he had made which was rejected by the federal government, but was picked up by some American colleagues of his who were now making considerable advances in the field with U.S. government backing. "They're beginning to put some money into research, but one wonders if this isn't the usual Trudeau election ploy," McDowell said. Sidney Katz, an assistant professor in pharmaceutical science, said there has been a 30 per cent decrease in enrolment in the area of medical research. "A lot of young students don't want to commit themselves to a career in research when there is no guarantee of funding, and so they are investigating different fields," he said. Katz added that the government's goal of raising research funding to 1.5 per cent of the GNP by 1983 is a good start but far from the final answer. He said the proposed for- See page 8: RESEARCH THE UBYSSEY \\yo\\. yyiv, No. ^4 Vancouver, b.c, Thursday, march is, 1979 228-2301 UBC tries for new recruits ,>.,.... -*; ** '•"'.■" ' > ^~>^*SZZmll'.Al*ftJ$^W'*'*'x "<*- -%^^ € %k JOHNATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL makes low-level bombing run over lounging students outside Place Vanier.

Legalize marijuana or get off the pot By HEATHER CONN ' 'A joint in every pocket'' could be the campaign slogan used to win this country's stoned vote, if Canada's official Pot Party wins the next federal election. "If our party gets in, you could all be smoking pot by Christmas," party leader Lome Jones said Tuesday. Jones, representing about 300 party members in B.C., came to UBC Tuesday to find student candidates for his party and inquire about starting a Pot Party members' club at UBC. He said he would like to see a candidate in every constituency Canada-wide and added that membership only costs $2. "I think a lot of students could become MPs. It sure beats going on unemployment rolls," he said. "Even if we had a majority government we'd only stay in power until marijuana is legalized and then we'd leave." He said the party advocates full legalization of marijuana, not decriminalization. Decriminalization is simply a "piece of politicking" which still sends marijuana users to jail, he said. If discriminalized, marijuana would move from the criminal code to the Food and Drug Act, but first offenses for possession under both categories result in the same penalty, he said. In both cases, a person charged with possession could receive a $5,000 fine or six months' imprisonment, Jones said. Currently, the federal government wants to categorize marijuana with LSD, MDA, STP and other similar drugs, he said. "We want to put it (marijuana) under intoxicants, for sale in liquor stores along with beer and wine." He said the party is opposed to any importations because smuggling hurts the Canadian economy. Smoking the nation's own homegrown exclusively would buoy the Canadian dollar, he added. "People might complain about not having Colombian or Hawaiian (marijuana). But it's been proven we can grow anything comparable or better than anything currently growing in the world. Our Canadian farmer ought to reap the financial benefits." For those interested in becoming Pot Party candidates or members, call Jones at 873-2509. By JULIE WHEELWRIGHT UBC will spend $159,000 over the next five years to try to find out why high school students reject university education. The program is aimed at making UBC more accessible to students, specifically those from high schools with a low university participation rate. "The number of students in (high) schools is dropping and this ultimately is going to hit the universities. This automatically heightens the need for a good recruitment program," said Chuck Gosbee, Vancouver school board. Kelowna Senior secondary counsellor Ann McKay said she questions the motives of the program. The universities might be avoiding budget cuts by keeping enrolment up, she said.

Pag* 2 THE UBYSSEY Thursday, March 15, 1979 Julius Schmid makes the most popular brands of condoms in Canada. Sowhywouldwev^nttotolktoyou about ether methods of contraception? The Diaphragm The diaphragm is a soft rubber cup which 'fits' into the vagina to cover the cervix (the opening to the uterus, or womb). It comes in various sizes and requires both a prescription and initial fitting by a doctor or trained nurse. To be effective, the diaphragm must be used in conjunction ^%^//a, t i^^^^^^^ with a spermicidal jelly '^Qa^^"^ or cream applied to all '" -^>y sides of the cup and to its rim. Additional applications of the spermicidal jelly or cream are needed if intercourse is delayed by several hours, or is repeated prior to the removal of the diaphragm. The diaphragm must be left in place for at least six hours after sexual contact. It can be left for as long as twenty-four hours, after which it should be removed, washed and dried. With correct use, the contraception rate for the diaphragm is very good. It is safe to use and produces no unwanted side effects. Contraceptive Chemicals Contraceptive foams, jellies, creams, foaming tablets and suppositories work in much the same way. That is, by establishing a mechanical barrier to the sperm and/or by directly killing the sperm on contact. They must be inserted into the vagina before intercourse and reapplied with each subsequent sexual act. Suppositories (the ..., . . ... ^ least effective) re- pnC^A"v)v-L \\\\ quire about fifteen Vji^ . ., / -mm'.".'.'"- Cu minutes to dissolve; foaming tablets require five. Spermicidal foams, creams and jellies are effective immediately. In all cases douching should be avoided for at least six hours after intercourse. Side effects are infrequent, although some women and some men find that chemicals cause an irritating burning-sensation during intercourse or discomfort afterwards. The Pill The pill, taken by women once a day for twenty- one or twenty-eight consecutive days, is designed to prevent ovulation. If no egg is released, conception cannot occur. Most of the pills available today contain a combination of two female sex hormones in synthetic form—estrogen and progesterone. The pill's main drawback is the side effects that some women experience. Minor side effects like nausea, spotting or breakthrough bleeding, bloating and breast tenderness are fairly common but usually subside after a few months. The pill is also sometimes associated with weight gain and, to a lesser degree, weight loss; with minor but irritating vaginal infections, headaches, depression, and an increased need for vitamins B6 and B12. So far as serious side effects are concerned, it is known that women taking the pill run four to seven times the risk of developing blood clots and nearly eight times the risk of dying as a result of a clot which lodges in a vital organ. Recent evidence suggests that the risk of developing a stroke (an extremely rare condition among women of child-bearing age) is increased nine-fold. Because the risk is greatest with women who smoke cigarettes, it is strongly recommended that women over 30 should either stop smoking or use another method of birth control. Because we're concerned. The response to the advertisements we have been running has made us aware that there is still a surprising lack of knowledge among young people about the various methods of contraception. This is supported by a Statistics Canada report on the alarming increase in unwanted pregnancies among young women in the 16 to 24 age bracket. What we plan to do in this advertisement is give you an honest and objective look at other methods of contraception. We will consider the advantages and disadvantages of each and leave you, the reader, to make up your own mind which method you prefer. Space limitations make it impossible for us to go into minute detail. So for further information, we strongly recommend that you contact your local physician, pharmacist or family planning clinic. Douching Although the method has been in use for centuries, douching with plain water, soap, or chemicals is very ineffective. In fact, it's only slightly better than taking no precautions at all. Rhythm The rhythm method requires abstinence from intercourse during the woman's fertile time of the month. The difficulty even today lies in predicting when the fertile period is likely to begin. The various aids currently used to jy help determine !»,■»«. -^ ^e fertility cycle include electronic calculators, special rhythm calendars, clocks and chemical tests. The most common and most accurate method is the charting of the woman's basic body temperature which must be taken with a special thermometer each morning before she gets out of bed. Unfortunately, a slight illness (a cold, for example) can affect temperature readings and create the impression that ovulation has already occured. The intrauterine device (IUD) The IUD is a small device usually made of plastic or metal, or a combination of both, which a gynecologist places inside the uterus where it remains for as long as contraception is desired. Aside from checking after menstruation to be sure the device has not been expelled, little more needs to be done. How the IUD works is still unclear. The current school of thought believes that the device sets up a chemical state which incapacitates the sperm or the egg; or that its placement in the body speeds up the movement of the ovum (egg) so that it passes through the tube before becoming fertilized. As an additional safeguard, some doctors recommend use of a spermicidal foam or cream in conjunction with the IUD —especially during midcycle when conception is most likely to occur. This approach means that the IUD loses one of its most attractive features: the fact that it requires little effort and is unrelated to the sex act. Like all other methods, the IUD has its drawbacks. Some users spontaneously expel the device. In other cases, excessive bleeding and cramping or other side effects make its removal necessary. The IUD is not recommended for women who have pelvic inflammatory disease or any abnormality of the uterus or a history of painful or heavy periods or cancer of the cervix or uterus. Sterilization Male vasectomy is a simple surgical technique (only a local anesthetic is required) which involves cutting the ducts that carry sperm into the ejaculate. Following vasectomy, a couple should use some other method of contraception until two consecutive tests show that no sperm remain in the ejaculate. Many doctors advise a repeat of the test six to twelve months later to ensure that the ducts have not grown back together. Female sterilization (or tubal ligation) involves cutting the Fallopian tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. It is a somewhat more complicated procedure than vasectomy. Although brief hospitalization is usually required, new and simplified techniques make it possible to carry out the operation in a hospital-based clinic without overnight hospitalization. The rare failures occur when the tubes manage to grow back together. The condom ,"i , min IjillllilillliU Plain end Sensi-Shape liiK^^' ^ \"""""'""'"iTiy The condom is second only in popularity to the pill as a method of birth control. A thin sheath usually made of rubber or animal skin, it is put over the erect penis to catch the ejaculate. For maximum effectiveness, the condom should be used before intercourse to prevent any escape of semen in fore- play. It's also important to withdraw the penis while still erect to prevent spillage of semen. Sensi-Shape Ribbed The effectiveness of the condom, like the diaphragm, varies with the user. The condom's only disadvantage is that it must be used at the time of intercourse, requiring interruption of lovemaking. On the plus side, it is easy to use, perfectly safe and offers protection against the transmission of venereal disease. It can be purchased at the drug store without a doctor's prescription.

Name Address City _Prov._ .PC- JULIUS SCHMID OF CANADA LTD. 32 Bermondsey Road Toronto, Canada M4B 1Z6 Thursday, March 15, 1979 THE UBYSSEY Pag* 3 Society can afford illegitimate kids By JUDITH MICHAELS Unwed couples today are less afraid of the consequences of sex than their counterparts of the past, a UBC associate history professor said Wednesday. "The situation is different today because of the availability of contraceptives and abortions," Christopher Friedrichs told 150 people in Buch. 102. "But many people are still having illegitimate children and many people do not use contraceptives. "Today when people lack the money for having children they assume that the community is responsible for helping out, since looking after the less fortunate is a fundamental responsibility of society," Friedrichs said. But he added that 200 years ago the birth of illegitimate children was discouraged mainly for economical and pragmatic reasons. "The church went along with the double standards of the social elite. Kings were almost expected to spawn numbers of illegitimate kids. Men of higher standing were involved with women of the lower classes as women of elite groups had to remain utterly chaste. This was necessary for sociological reasons such as in the transference of property." Although sex was recognized as a powerful drive, he said, it was believed that people who could not support any illegitimate offspring should effectively restrain themselves. "In 1578, an old resident of a city hospital impregnated a lame and crippled resident of the hospital. Both were allowed to stay in the city until the child was born, but after the birth the unwed couple was forced out of the town. The two people concerned were already public charges and yet they proceeded to> bring about another public charge." Friedrichs said that societies had limited resources for dealing with unplanned children, as the growth of welfare institutions is a fairly recent phenomenon. How the community reacted to these pregnancies depended greatly on the specific cases, he added, and considerations such as the couple's ability to bring up the child in a family setting were taken into account. "In 1605 two youths, a stepsister and stepbrother, were allowed to sleep in the same room. One thing led to another and the girl became pregnant. The wedding was planned for Nov. 24 but the child was born on the 23rd. The couple finally married in January." Friedrichs added that it is not easing finding information on the history of sex as there were no sociologists, Kinsey reports or surveys. The sources used for research are old medical textbooks, church records and old household books which instructed husbands and wives how to run their households both in general and sexual matters. "Probably the best sources on small town sexual activity are church records on marriages and births," said Friedrichs. "From the baptisms we can establish what percentage of children was born legitimate and what percentage was illegitimate. Finding out which children were born in wedlock but conceived before wedlock involves several hours of research, but much of the tedious homework was often done by the priests or clergymen themselves." During the Shakespearean era, there appeared to be a great openness about sex, he said. The plays showed no rigid rules as to what could be said and children, unlike today, were not shielded from information about sex, he said. "Maids and children often slept in the same room with married couples, separated only by curtains." Dr. Heroard, who was the court doctor of King Henry IV of France wrote detailed information on the sexual activities of the court, Friedrichs said. "On writing about the dauphin (who was to become King Louis XIII), he said all men and ladies of court including King Henry engaged in hours and hours of sex play with the child, fondling his genitals and teasing him about who he'd marry. It was considered important for the dauphin to grow up virile as he was expected to produce several heirs. It was believed that the younger you got him started the more virile and potent he would be." But it had the opposite effect, he said, as the dauphin became repressed and did not father a child FRIEDRICHS...missionary style for 20 years. This is very different from the Victorian age and it is difficult to imagine Queen Victoria or Prince Albert engaging in such activities, Friedrichs said. Women's sexuality, in the past as often is the case today, was normally discussed by men who might or might not have known what they were talking about, he said. "It was assumed that women by nature were more sexually passionate since men were ruled by their minds and women who naturally had weak, minds were ruled by their bodies." 'Bank on nukes' TORONTO (CUP) — The Ontario Non-Nuclear Network staged an unusual protest Monday against proposed new nuclear power plants for the province, "banking" on public opposition to their high cost. The group set up a fake bank teller's booth outside Hydro Place and presented passersby with a "cheque" for $625, which represents the average cost to each Ontario resident of the proposed $5 billion Darlington generating station east of Ottawa. The Network has attacked both the economic feasibility and the safety of nuclear power plants, calling instead for an energy conservation program. Ontario Hydro, which is trying to raise $300 million in bonds for its expansion program, came under fire in the legislature Tuesday for unnecessary expansion in recent years. Liberal leader Stuart Smith charged that Hydro's over- expansion is the most serious and costly example of mismanagement in Ontario's history.

Two-headed monster eats opposition ByANNABANANA Ubyssey Appointments Editor In a momentous hill-slide victory, Heather Conn and Tom Hawthorn have soundly thrashed their opponents for editorship of The Ubyssey, Tom Hawthorn and Heather Conn. The "beast with two backs" will take over the duties of co-editorship of The Ubyssey for the year 1979-80 after winning 24 votes in what some have described as an election. Running second was the word 'no' with one vote and well behind was the Machiavellian Hawthorn with one and the not-to-be-trusted Conn with one. "We-are-the-best-and-the-brightest," the candidates chanted in unison when this reporter pulled the strings in their backs after the election. "We hope to raise student awareness of the politics of the neo-leftist anti- dogmatic socialist view," said Hawthorn. "What's politics?" said Conn. Both winners have previous experience as kewpie dolls and have served during the past year as city editors for The Ubyssey. Affectionately known as 'the Bossy twins,' they were elected as co-editors on the condition that Hawthorn reach drinking age by summer and Conn no longer be a teenager by the end of her term. Conn, arts 2, majoring in rudiments of English, fled Toronto in 1977 after investigations into the political coloring of her hair. Hawthorn, arts 2, majoring in political silence, came west from Montreal the same year "out of sheer opportunism." "I needed fresh ground after Rene (Levesque) tied up the radical-chic vote," said Hawthorn Wednesday, his cheeks dimpling in cherubic innocence. Conn attributed her running to a life-long ambition. "Anything to get out of Etobicoke," she said, her baby-blue eyes widening. Outgoing editor Mike Bocking was "shocked and dismayed." "Half the editors next year will have a political commitment," he said. "I think that's maybe just a little extreme." Chris Gainor, editor 1977-78, was contemptuous of the election results. "They'll never be half the co-editors I was," he said. "They're featherweights." Marcus Gee, who served as news guru under Gainor, was crushed. "They have no sense of tradition. No sense of taste. No ability, not a sausage," he said. Ralph Maurer, co-editor in 1976-77, sneered when told of the news on the picket line at Soporific Press. "How can anyone have faith in their commitment as journalists if they don't have a typo collection?" he asked. "They're sycophants, dilettantes and as soon as I consult my Webster's I'll give you another epithet to complete the parallelism," he said. Sue Vohanka, Maurer's better half, was noncommital when reached in Toronto. "Tom who? Heather who? They're the ones who wear gumby hats and won't drink, aren't they? I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink," she said. HAWTHORN AND CONN . . . winners of Chris Gainor co-editor look-alike contest. Administration president Derek Bok, in an open letter Friday to faculty and students, responded to protests against Harvard holding stocks in companies dealing in South Africa or in companies with unethical business practices. Bok said educational institutions could not expect to maintain their academic freedom "if they insist on abrogating to themselves the right to use economic leverage to influence the activities of others." "Universities that violate this social compact to do so at their own peril," he said. The university's board of overseers has refused to divest itself of stocks in companies doing business in South Africa despite frequent student protests. Other protests have attacked a $1 million donation to Harvard from a businessman with extensive ties to South Africa and the purchase of products from corporations that exploit citizens of underdeveloped nations. Bok told the university community that severing relations on moral grounds might lower Harvard's revenues, threatening funding for scholarship programs and teaching resources. "There comes a point where symbolism must give way to real threats of academic freedom, real financial losses and real administrative burdens." "The students deserve some answers from us," Bok said, and claimed he wanted the university's 22,000 students to know he was "wrestling with the problem." Pag* 4 THE UBYSSEY Thursday, March 15, 1979 > (I C O YVk TO B .C. OK P^ Feds kill research Right now, research funding is below one per cent of the gross national product. A decade ago, the figure was 1.2 per cent. Any fool can tell you that's pennies when you're talking about serious research development and technological expertise. Canada is lagging far behind the U.S. and other western countries in this industry. With federal research funding at its current low level, the government might as well give us coloring books and put us in the proverbial little red schoolhouse. We're regressing fast. Research is a vital area at any university but without sufficient funding, it faces a slow death. Death means being unable to hire highly- qualified professors to advance research, teach and inspire others. Death means being forced to turn away extremely capable graduate students because there's no money to pay them. With such a bleak future in research ahead of them, graduate students get discouraged, enrolment drops and then high school students feel no great incentive to come to university, that supposed bastion of higher learning. UBC's department heads recognize the pro- Letters blem and blame it on the Trudeau government. Since Trudeau came to power in 1968, federal research funding has dropped from 1.2 per cent of the GNP to one per cent. Trudeau's government also recently rejected a research proposal submitted by UBC chemistry head Charles McDowell. But the United States government picked it up and is currently funding the proposal for some of McDowell's colleagues. So we weren't the winners. When we lose out to our southern neighbor in areas of research, Canada's quality, status and recognition in research takes a nosedive. Researchers naturally look for greener pastures when their pockets are empty and so Canadian talent dwindles quickly to other countries, usually the U.S. Lack of research funding means missed opportunities and unrealized potentials in Canada's research sphere and breeds discouragement and pessimism. Trudeau's government has recently decided to increase research funding to 1.5 per cent of the gross national product by 1983. That sounds like a petty political promise on the brink of an election. Disco viewers get vinyl vibes Who needs it? I wanna pull on your coats about something. The matter is the nauseating practice of disco. On several occasions I've attended such places to see if they're as bad as graffiti and letters to The Ubyssey claim. They're worse, and the Pit disco is certainly no exception. I've found the only amusement gained during a disco evening comes in watching the fanatics in their gear. Those short little weeps at 5'8" who are suddenly elevated near 6' in their Bee-Bop boots are particularly fun to watch with their shirts half unbuttoned standing under the disco lights in hopes of getting lucky. Some of the swim suits worn by disco women look okay, but surely this gear must be very expensive. Dancing to the disco drone looks pretty dangerous and one's feet risk injury from the heavy Bee-Bop boots and the spiked high-heeled footwear frequently worn by ladies of the disco. Although I haven't seen it at the Pit, I have noticed on occasion some disco ladies refusing to dance with anyone but themselves. This is unnecessary and almost kinky! Fog currently seems to be the latest gimmick in the up-to-date discos. Dropped my wallet once on the dance floor and when the fog had lifted so was it. The disco ball, other ambient illuminators and mirror displays are even better illusions. If I ever have the displeasure of ending an evening at a disco again, I will make sure I bring a disco helmet to clamp on and tune out the audio portion and light show. One simply can't go to the Pit on a Saturday evening anymore to enjoy a few beers with distractions like these happening in the background. A few times this year I've had the pleasure of evenings in the University of Victoria beer parlor. UVic features a rock band on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings and the cover charge is only a buck on the latter two days. Now, how can anyone here justify charging the same to listen to a bunch of multicolored vinyl that should never be recorded in the first place? Surely there are more good rock bands in our vast city than there are listenable disco records. After all, something is better than nothing. If U. Dick can do without disco than why can't we? If people(?) at UBC want to go to discos then let them go downtown or to the numerous discos whose notices clutter up every bulletin board on this campus. May I suggest to all disco weeps a Come lean against a tree Over the past few years there has been a lot of hype and enthusiasm in running. An elite has formed for these people who run around a track, a park or a block. The media has pounced upon "jogging fever" and a person who jogs can read hundreds of books and magazines on the topic. But what about people like me who don't run (not that I can't run but I'd prefer not to). There are thousands of us beer-drinkin', donut-dunking non-runners. Yet, there are no books or guides on non-running activities; therefore I feel something should be done in this regard. "Non-running" is a very convenient sport. You can do it at home, at work or in the car. You can non-run in your spare time. There are many places where one can non-run. You can lean against a tree or lie down on your couch. "Non-running" has been a sport for quite a few years. It was believed to have been originated by Calvin Coolidge, but some say John Diefenbaker started it when he was a young boy. The sport of non-running has a hall of fame in Moncton, New Brunswick with names of non-running greats such as W.A.C. Bennett, Gordon Sinclair, and more recently, .Paul Sole of Canada After Dark. The hall of fame has such record holders as Tommy Newsom of the THE UBYSSEY MARCH 15, 1979 Published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout the university year by the Alma Mater Society of the University of B.C.

Paul Gaylie science 2 Take me, take me Dear Miss Carrington: Like you, I was rather surprised by the response you received to your original letter regarding campus romance, or the lack thereof. However, I was further surprised at the length of time it took you to reply to Mr. Lane's invitation. Obviously, something was troubling you. Was it his age or the idea of spending an evening alone with a complete (although romantic) stranger? I mention his age as a possible deterrent since he is merely a freshman and you are at least two years his senior. Furthermore, I realize you may be a little hesitant about meeting and spending an entire evening alone with someone you have never met. Whichever may have been the actual problem, I think I have a viable alternative. I suggest we meet under equally romantic, but less isolated circumstances. Tonight, Songfest will be held at the Orpheum Theatre, and I can think of no public place in Vancouver more romantic. Not only could we see an excellent show but we could also discuss the problems in reviving campus romance over a drink. With this letter, I have included a ticket to Songfest, addressed to you, which you can pick up at The Ubyssey office, if you so desire. If you decide to accept my invitation, as I hope you will, I shall meet you inside the theatre at the foot of the circular stairway which leads to the lower orchestra lobby.

Obviously its organizers are determined to railroad the student body into accepting their own interpretation of what is wrong with student services. They see the problem as one of not having enough finances available to support the kinds of services they want. However, many students are dissatisfied with what they see as the inefficiency and wastefulness of the AMS and so consider that to be the main problem. Therefore they will not vote in the referendum or might even vote against it as a signal to the AMS to clean up its act. Yet the efficiency of the AMS is not and should not be the issue at stake here. Even if the AMS were the most efficient body in the world at allocating funds I would still have voted no to the referendum because it is other people's funds the AMS is proposing to allocate. I will not have any part in forcing other students to pay for student services that they might or might not want, and whether or not I want those services myself is irrelevant. Just because these services are currently organized so they require support from coercively-attained AMS funds does not make it right that they do, nor does it make it right to vote yes and increase the compulsory burden on students. One might gather from this argument that I am against having any AMS fees whatsoever. Obviously I must explain how I expect student services to be provided without compulsory fees. Basically, I think students should pay directly for those services that they themselves want. If students want to have an extensive intramurals and extra- murals program then they should be willing to pay for it themselves and not expect others to do so. Similarly clubs like CITR and The Ubyssey should be self-sufficient. I am confident that if organizations were more directly responsible for their own survival, student apathy would decrease because real <:.

Nothing discourages student involvement more than the false security provided by the current system which attempts to "arrange" things for us. The effective solution is to change the system. The next problem is how to go about changing the system. It is conceivable that a new AMS constitution which abolished compulsory fees could be drafted, but getting it enacted would be another matter. AMS constitutional reform is difficult and is not a hot issue at present. Alternatively one could try to convince the administration to unilaterally lift the compulsory requirement for fees, but again that will be difficult. In any case, it is inadequate to just abolish fees, a good deal of reorganization of student services will have to take place. The dilemma is that such reorganization might require constitutional changes, and if that is impossible anyway, reform and improvement will have to come about within the system. I do not think it is necessary to work within the system in order to improve it, however. Rejection of the referendum should not mean that services must suffer because there are practical ways to provide wanted services without relying on the AMS. For example, if people want some athletic program why don't they solicit funds by commercializing it? Teams could have commercial sponsors, events could be patronized by local sporting-goods stores in exchange for advertisement space, and fund-raising raffles could be held. All this would require initiative on the part of students who are concerned about the program. The customary ways of doing things are not sacrosanct, neither is the authority of the AMS. My point is that if students really want services they can find ways of providing them, they need not go through "conventional" channels. I feel the issues are important and should be debated. Perhaps the current organizers feel it is easier to milk unconcerned students for funds. If so, I hope their consciences cause them insomnia. The time has come for an end to blind reliance on coercive authority.

"If you cut down on research, then you discourage the really good professors. And then, as a result, it's the students who suffer." Graduate studies dean Peter Larkin said the drop in the number of students taking graduate studies Admin tries to aid access From page 1 "Is it in their best interests or are they just trying to pad their own wallets? I see the program as a help but I'm not sure whether it's going to get to the root of the problem." The program would be useful, but the biggest factors in preventing students from going to university are their grades and unemployment, said Karen Dellow, senior counsellor at Templeton high school. "We have a lot of students who come in and say, 'I'd like to be a teacher but can I get a job after five years of university?' " "The same kind of kids who could be doing well at university are making $2,000 a month at a secretarial job," Dellow said. M. R. Duncan, King George high school principal, said the program seems worthwhile. The main reason students are deterred from university is not the financial cost but the possibility of a small job market, said Duncan. "Students have been subjected to a fair amount of publicity about university graduates who can't get jobs, so they start to look around for other possibilities." Gosbee said there are many diverse reasons that influence a high school student's decision about university, but one of the least important is the financial cost.

Larkin said a student signing up for graduate studies now should think about job possibilities five years from now, which he believes will be excellent, given the current shortage. He also said that unless the federal government takes steps to rectify the current uncertain situation regarding research funding, high school students considering a career in research will be discouraged from entering the field. Lack' of research funding might force Canada to import graduate students in the near future, Larkin said. He said current Canadian expenditures on research and development are equivalent to India's, and that it is a ludicrous situation. Physiology department head Harold Copp said enrolment in his department has been dropping. Most of the undergraduate students in his department are, aiming at entering medicine, he said. "It's true that funding for research in Canada has been miserable in comparison to other western countries. The present level of funding is 0.7 per cent of the GNP and even though the govern ment has made a goal of doubling the funding, it is not being achievec with tremendous haste." Copp, president of the Academy of Science of Canada, said the academy had discussed a program costing perhaps $20 million per yeai to enable young Canadian scientists to survive the anticipated job shortage. "There's only so much we can do, but.'^when it comes down to money it is a political decision," he said. Copp said looking after Canada's young scientists should be an important national priority.

The provincial government's new Family Relations Act and the federal government's proposed changes in rape and prostitution prosecution follow in the wake of agitation by women. By JAN NICOL Civil law has denied women economic power and has been especially detrimental to married women. When a marriage breaks down, the law provides only maintenance for the wife while the "breadwinner" gets all the loot. The Family Relations Act, proclaimed this week by the provincial cabinet, establishes an equal sharing of family assets between husband and wife after a marriage breakdown. The governments of Ontario and Manitoba passed similar legislation last year. Irene Murdoch's court case in 1975 stirred the ire of women and led to rapid steps toward reform in the three provinces. The Murdochs were married in 1943 and spent the next four years working on various ranches until they had enough money to acquire their own ranch — in the husband's name. For five months of each year between 1947 and 1968, Mr. Murdoch was employed in the U.S. and Mrs. Murdoch worked on the ranch. In 1968, Mrs. Murdoch was beaten by her husband and hospitalized. Soon after, she filed for divorce and fought for a share of the ranch property. Her claim reached the Supreme Court, but that body held that she was not liable to any assets because the work she had contributed "was the work done by any ranch wife." The one dissenting opinion was held by Judge Bora Laskin, who maintained that Mr. Murdoch should not be permitted "unjust enrichment." rhe Quebec government has long had Canada's most progressive matrimonial laws. All property is ,jointly owned immediately upon marriage and is equally shared by both spouses when the marriage breaks up. Ontario, Manitoba and now B.C. have passed legislation which acknowledges the contribution of women in marriage and recognizes that without her work, the husband cannot acquire assets outside the home. But the legislation in these three provinces does not go far enough. The equal sharing of assets is only enforced upon marriage breakdowns and not during the marriage. And only family assets (the house, car and bank account, for example) are to be shared equally. All commercial assets (such as company stocks, business, farmland) are to be divided at the discretion of the judge, which could very well lead women back to Irene Murdoch's dilemma. Some optimism is permissible though. In an Ontario Supreme Court decision, shortly after the passage of the 1978 Family Law Reform Act, a Mrs. Silverstein was granted $180,000 of her husband's property investments. The judge held that the wife assumed a major share of child care and household management. "Mr. Silverstein was able to devote more of his time to working in his business than would have been possible had he been required to assume his full share of the time and effort that goes into child care and household management," the judge said. "Therefore his ability to earn money to acquire assets was substantially increased." The judge's statements indicate that attitudes are changing. Rape convictions will be easier to make if federal justice minister Marc Lalonde is true to his word and the federal government includes rape in its new sexual assault laws. And a married woman who is separated will male passenger, he can be imprisoned for up to two years. A male employer who seduces a female employee is also subject to arrest and a man who has sexual intercourse with a woman between the ages of 14 to 16, who is of "previous be able to bring a rape charge against her husband. According to a spokeswoman for Vancouver Rape Relief, Lalonde has decided to discard Bill C-52, currently before parliament, (which deals with rape law reforms), in favor of drafting a new bill implementing the more progressive recommendations of the commission on sexual offences. The commission suggests that a separated but still legally married woman should be afforded legal protection from being raped by her husband. It adds that rape should be classified as a sexual offence, subject to punishment at the discretion of the judge. In the past, juries have been hesitant to hand out convictions because possible sentences were so severe. The present Criminal Code reflects the sexist attitudes of men, in that it seeks to protect "virtuous" women. For instance, if a man promises to marry a woman under 21 years of age and then proceeds to "seduce" her, he can be put in jail for two year.s. Or if he works on a ship and seduces a fe- chaste character," can be jailed for up to five years. The federal law reform commission on sexual offences suggests in its 1978 report that these offences be removed from the Criminal Code. Equally apparent in the Criminal Code is the attitude that "fallen" women should be punished. The code's treatments of rape victims and prostitutes are apt examples. fn rape cases, the victim is on trial. She must prove that she did not consent to sexual intercourse and can be asked about her previous sexual history. The line of argument used by the accused in a Burnaby court case in 1968 shows the unfair treatment afforded rape victims. The facts of the case are as follows. A woman was walking home at 10:30 p.m. when two men pulled her into their station wagon and allegedly raped her. Brought to trial, the two men did not deny having had sexual intercourse with the woman but denied the acts were committed without her consent. In his address to the jury, the trial judge summed up the defence's case as follows: "Mrs. S. was a willing participant in the events of that night, that she was an easy pickup, and that her speedy consent to the proposition made to her by the accused and his friend is entirely consistent with the low reputation which she enjoys in her own neighborhood." The judge in a rape case is required to warn the jury before they adjourn to decide the case that they are advised not to convict the defendant solely on the grounds of the woman's testimony. This makes rape convictions very difficult to obtain. Prostitution laws also deny women equality. Until 1972, a male could not be charged with being a prostitute. Confusion still reigns as to whether a male can be convicted of soliciting. In some cases men have been acquitted and in others they have not. Streetwalkers — women who conduct their business in a public place — are charged with soliciting, but their clients are not. In our drug laws, the "user" is convicted as well as the "pusher," yet this philosophy does not prevail in the soliciting law. Until parliament enacted the soliciting law in 1972, streetwalkers were"victimized" by the law. Charged under the vagrancy section of the Criminal Code, a "common" prostitute found in a public place was required to "give a good account of herself" to a police officer. Clearly streetwalkers were denied freedom of movement, but failed to successfully defend themselves under the Canadian Bill of Rights. Courts held in two different cases that prostitution was an "acquired" status and therefore could not be protected on the grounds of "sex" discrimination, which was a status one acquired with birth. The federal government is presently attempting to toughen up the soliciting laws, making it easier for the police to enforce. NDP MP Stu Leggatt said last Friday he is attempting to slow down the passage of the federal government's current bill on prostitution, so that he can push for a law which penalizes the client as well as the prostitute. Leggatt also said that if soliciting for the purposes of prostitution is to be outlawed, the law must not discriminate between the prostitute and the client. Except for Leggatt's contribution, parliament is failing to deal with prostitution on a long-term and effective basis. Should the world's oldest profession be legalized or not? Various groups have suggested that an investigation into this question should be instigated by the federal government. ^i^^ntil our attitudes toward prostitu- tl J tion, rape, and marriage change, ^1 / I legislators will not initiate legal II I reform. And until legal reform is made, the judiciary will not act in a more "just" manner.

He is dismayed at the possibility that the Tories will draw all their support from English Canada and pick up only two or three seats in Quebec. With luck, he thinks they might get as many as six to 12 seats there. By DOUG SMITH CUP Winnipeg Bureau Chief The Tories are now "on the right side of many issues," Lowell thinks. Nor does he think there is any hostility towards the Tories in Quebec. That might be true — and we'll find out in the spring. But Tories in Western Canada seem to be doing their best to stir up and capitalize on many Western Canadians2 hostility towards Quebec. This sentiment, most recently brought to public attention by B.C. municipal affairs minister Bill Vander Zalm's light- hearted and lyrical reference to Rene Levesque as a frog, is never far from the surface in Western Canadian politics. The examples are numerous: Vander Zalm said that calling Quebecois frogs was a "fun thing"; during the October by-elections, the PC candidate in St. Boniface, Jack Hare, told reporters he was not campaigning in the francophone section of the riding because "the priest in the pulpit says vote Liberal and what can you do?" The Tories are not, of course, the only ones exhibiting this anti-Quebec feeling. A recent letter in the Winnipeg Free Press denounced the introduction of the metric system as another sign of the domination of Quebecois culture, since it was Napoleon who introduced the metric system to Europe. One of the most blatant and popular expressions of anti-Quebec sentiment was a newspaper column by Brampton columnist Catherine Ford. The column, called "Quebec, go suck a lemon," was reprinted in weekly newspapers across the West and was used as an editorial by many radio hotliners. A few extracts: • "I would love to speak French, but I don't want it shoved down my throat." H> Z***""' ^"°» .WU"'" from Winnipeg South Centre and one of the leading rednecks in the PC caucus was asked about possible reactions to Quebec separation last year, he predicted a one-day war. In his constituency reports, one of Western Canada's rednecks are costing votes in Quebec, Tory organizers say • "Quebec, you're the embodiment of everything I hate about minority groups." • "The whining, the yelling, the screeching about your rights, with little concern for the rights of others. I'll let you in on a secret, your rights end where mine begin and, when you spit in my face, expect a reaction." The column did get a reaction — most of it favourable. When Dan McKenzie, the tory MP McKenzie's favorite ploys is to list what he calls "The Liberal Appeasement of Quebec. . . With Your Tax Dollars." These include such things as: "MOVING FEDERAL CIVIL SERVANTS FROM OTTAWA ACROSS THE RIVER TO HULL — QUEBEC. Even with the threat of separation, the Liberals are building massive complexes and turning Ottawa into a ghost town." McKenzie also claims that Place du Portage in Hull poses a serious threat to the survival of the nation's capital. would have been no Legion Halls to go to." In the Portage la Prairie Daily Graphic, PC MP Peter Masniuk was blunter. "To the prime minister, bilingualism is apparently more important than was the Second World War." The new conscription issue for Western Canadians is French on their corn flakes box and the air traffic controllers' issue. McKenzie has lists of importers who have lost money and businesss because of the packaging regulations and says his constituents cannot get many products to which they have been accustomed. In the summer of 1976, the government abolished capital punishment, another of the redneck Tories' favorite hobby horses, at the same time the nation was divided over the air traffic controllers' strike. Masniuk blended the two issues into one article when he pointed out that Trudeau made one of his few moving and eloquent speeches in speaking against the death penalty and also appeared to be supporting Les Gens de 1'Air. The western Tories are also concerned over the "francophonization" of Air Canada. Gordon Ritchie feels the scheme was one of former president Yves Pratte's "pet phobia." Tories like McKenzie also favor some of the proposals of the Canadian Avia- Some of the more curious opinions on the rights of French-Canadians have been expressed by rural PC's, either in reports to constituents or in columns they have in the local papers. One of their more persistent habits is to tangle up the prime minister Pierre Trudeau war record, the Quebec conscription issue and bilingualism. Here's Gordon Ritchie in the Dauphin Herald: "I thought it significant that Mr. Trudeau spoke about the Legion Hall because he was the one who got into the famous problem of his age by reducing it by three years in the 1940's in order to escape the draft of the Second World War and who also sat on the platform with Mr. Drapeau, the mayor of Montreal, when Mr. Drapeau was running as a Bloc Populaire candidate, an anti-conscription party in the 1940's. Had all Canadians followed Mr. Trudeau's lead here at that time, there tion Fellowship that relate to Air Canada. These include establishing Toronto as the main maintenance base, moving essential units to Toronto to counter the growing "threat of Quebec independence," and relocating company headquarters in Toronto. Tories like Joe Clark and Robert Stanfield have been trying to cool the anti-French sentiment of some of their Western colleagues. But a Clark government will by definition have many MPs in its ranks who have told their constituents they are opposed to the Official Languages Act. These MPs have taken legitimate complaints with the act and brought out their anti-French bias. This time around, the West will be solid. And much of it will be symbolized by the T-shirt cartoon of a beaver strangling a frog encaptioned, "English is the official language of aviation.""""@en ; edm:hasType "Newspapers"@en ; dcterms:spatial "Vancouver (B.C.)"@en ; dcterms:identifier "LH3.B7 U4"@en, "LH3_B7_U4_1979_03_15"@en ; edm:isShownAt "10.14288/1.0128392"@en ; dcterms:language "English"@en ; edm:provider "Vancouver : University of British Columbia Library"@en ; dcterms:publisher "Vancouver : Alma Mater Society of the University of B.C."@en ; dcterms:rights "Images provided for research and reference use only.
