The report, to be presented to the McDonald commission on the RCMP security service, asks the government to publicly declare a policy that there "shall be no general surveillance of university campuses and no interference in any way with the freedom of discussion so necessary to university life." The report says there has been tension between members of the academic community and the RCMP for the past 20 years. "To a certain extent this is inevitable given the role of the university as a critic of society and a generator of discussion on the merits of all political, economic and social arrangements," explains the report. "But this tension can also be destructive and sterile. The university must operate in a climate of freedom, not only for its own benefit, but for that of society as well since the critical function is a necessity in a free society. "Progress comes from the interplay of ideas and the free competition that this implies. It is important, therefore, that the security forces do not confuse law-abiding political dissent or legal but nonconforming behavior with subversion. "To do so would constitute a threat to the freedom of the universities and to that of the society as a whole," says the report. The government should also issue an official policy statement emphasizing that the RCMP must draw a distinction between legal political dissent and trade union activity and criminal acts commonly called subversion, the report says. The report also recommends that the government ensure individuals will not be victimized in applications for jobs or security clearances by police or the armed forces security branches because of legal, sexual or personal relations. The report attacks the federal government's security force with failing to distinguish between left-wing legitimate political movements and subversion. In the 1960s the government's security forces attempted to recruit informers among students involved in the campaign for nuclear disarmament. And in the 1970s the RCMP seems to have considered membership in the Waffle faction of the NDP as subversive, says the report. The report urges the government to revive the concept of ministerial responsibility for the control of the security forces. "If the security forces commit major violations of the law or if they perform their duties incompetently, the minister should be responsible to the house of commons although individual complaints should be handled by special tribunals." "The RCMP defended its position by stating that its duty was to search out subversive activities and espionage wherever these occurred and that certain organizations were prone to communist infiltration," says the report. "The actions of the security forces with regard to these organizations seemed to some academics to confuse dissent with subversion and to be designed to intimidate ane define permissible political activities by discrediting such organizations in a manner which had not been countenanced by the house of commons. "These events suggest both a lack of political sophistication and a lack of common sense," says the report. i Pickets hit at Faculty Club UBC steam engineers began picketing the Faculty Club Monday, forcing some faculty members to help wait on tables and assist supervisory staff working in the kitchen. The club's waiters, cooks and janitorial staff, who are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, respected the picket, CUPE local 116 president Ken Andrews said Monday. And Andrews said CUPE will support the steam engineers' strike wherever they decide to picket. Administration president Doug Kenny said he had lunch at the club Tuesday and that it is operating a "bare-bones" service. He said that although some faculty members did not eat at the Faculty Club Monday, for reasons of conscience, many faculty members crossed the picket lines. The 25 engineers, responsible for operation and maintenance of the heating plant, walked off the job Feb. 21 over a contract dispute with the administration. The heating plant is currently being operated by supervisory personnel. Bill Kadey, business manager of International Union of Operating Engineers, local 882, could not be reached for comment. See page 2: STEAM Conventions profitability doubtful' By JEFF RANKIN When the last exam has been written, and all residence students have gone back home, the UBC convention centre will have thousands of summer rooms available for conference guests. But whether or not the centre can f UI them profitably is questionable. John Burns, manager of the conference centre, said Monday the centre has already booked over 80,000 bed-nights for next summer, an increase of 6,000 over last summer's total. "We don't expect a large profit," said Burns, "but we do expect some profit and it will go towards offsetting residence costs for winter students." But Moe Sihota, former student board of governors member said he had a less optimistic view. "Housing lost $250,000 from last April to January," said Sihota. "And most of that was due to loss in convention business." "It (the 6,000 bed-night increase) won't make a difference. The 6,000 beds will just cover the increased costs for this year." "I was not aware that there had been losses last year," said John Burns, "but if that's so then I don't expect a repeat; bookings have gone well." One answer to the problem of the centre's losing money, said Sihota, would be to reserve an increased amount of the housing for students staying over the summer. "Last year they (the centre) ran one tiny ad in The Ubyssey, and even then they got 50 more students applying than rooms were reserved for."

Something more dangerous and insidious than alleged avaricious demands by unionized labor is screwing up the economy. The hunger of the larger corporations for money is killing off whatever remains of so-called free enterprise more surely than any Marxist could hope. Small businessmen are being stomped on by the corporate giants. Students can make a go with their own business, but the rate of business failure is higher than ever. If you're skeptical of these facts, compare with the much larger number 10 years ago. What is occurring is corporate socialism — socialism without any benefits to most of us. There is more money, but a larger proportion of it is falling into fewer hands. The only way our job situation can be improved is through direct job creation. Depending on private enterprise to do it will be futile — job creation interferes with profits. But even direct job creation can only postpone the date when radical changes will be needed on our economic system. How radical they are will depend on how soon we the people decide to put our foot down. Letters Write Cullen. save refugee's life Galindo Madrid is a 22-year-old Chilean refugee here in Vancouver, at present desperately fighting a deportation order issued by the department of immigration in Ottawa. Madrid jumped ship last May in the hope of obtaining political asylum in Canada, but his application has been refused. If the deportation order is successful in forcing Madrid's return to Chile, he is certain to face imprisonment and probable death. Madrid has been a student leader and an active supporter of president Salvador Allende, who was assassinated in 1973 in the CIA-aided military coup of 1973. After the coup, Madrid was drafted into the army for two years' duty, during which time his tasks involved cleaning up torture rooms in a concentration camp. At the camp, he observed corpses dumped into open pits, execution stands and instruments of torture. He testified that most of the corpses had been mutilated, with broken jaws and smashed skulls. Madrid decided to leave Chile when he was called up for duty several months after his first discharge. He escaped just over a year ago, which makes him guilty of desertion according to Chilean law. The Canadian immigration department, which rejected Madrid's appeal, has ordered him to find another country to go to, with no reason given. After the efforts of the B.C. Federation of Labor and various other groups, his deportation order has been temporarily stayed. But there are virtually no cases of reversals of deportation orders which have reached this stage. Madrid's stay does not mean the deportation order has been reversed. The Chilean junta, undisputably one of the most brutal on earth, is not likely to take kindly to him after his efforts to publicize the situation in Chile. UBC students should make known their opposition of Madrid's deportation to immigration minister Bud Cullen as soon as possible. Remember, Madrid's life may depend on your action or inaction.

J Help English evaluation Recently, concerned English students formed a departmental association. The Association of English Students intend to publish next September an alternate calendar summarizing student opinions of individual courses and instructors. Over the next two weeks, students enrolled in second, third and fourth year English courses will be given evaluation questionnaires and computer cards to fill out. We ask students to complete (on their own time) one card for each of their English courses. Completed computer cards should be dropped off in designated boxes in Buchanan, Sedgewick and Main library. The association's questionnaire is objective. Students' impressions of both courses and instructors will be correlated over the summer and published in straightforward, statistical form. The Association of English Students aims to provide organized and influential representation benefiting all students taking courses from the department. The alternate calendar is our first step — the more input we get, the more relevant our publication will be to students' programming decisions. If you are enrolled in any English courses, by carefully filling out the Association's evaluation cards you will help yourself, and all students like you, in future years. The Association of English Students 'Son of Lassie' replies ^ I was much surprised to see a tolerable likeness of myself on the front page of your newspaper (March 10). I often take a very close look at The Ubyssey, as it is sometimes smeared with remains of delectable personfood. I am afraid that I have on occasion actually ingested some of your product. While I can't recommend your ink, I think that your taste does show promise. In that respect, please note that a frontal view shows my canine good looks to best advantage; your readership will certainly appreciate your photographer being reminded of that fact. The free publicity has been appreciated; I have already noticed a significant increase in small edible favors from my UBC fan club. Your more perceptive readers may already have noticed that I am nobody's son, not even Lassie's. My name is Kanti, which as everyone knows is feminine.

S FOR B Govt, job creation unemployment solution By ROB MARRIS Unemployment in Canada is officially 8.3 per cent right now. 1,007,000 people in this country are officially unemployed. In B.C. the irate is 8.4 per cent. For youth (defined as those under age 25) the rate is twice as bad as that facing those over 25. In Newfoundland one in four youths who are ready and willing to work cannot get work. Gone forever are the days — if indeed they ever existed — when young Newfoundlanders could all head out to jobs in Syncrude country. In B.C. the youth situation is slightly better, but not much. Hidden behind these stark figures is the agony and despair of more than one million Canadian workers and their families; Canadians who can hardly afford the necessities of life, let alone any luxuries: have you ever tried to bring up a family on the amount of unemployment insurance cheques? Not to mention the welfare you'll be on when your UIC runs out after a year. That's if you can get UIC, for if you're a young person who has never had a job for twelve weeks — and many of today's youth have not — then you won't qualify for UIC. Imagine the chronic boredom that sets in after a few weeks of unemployment: no nights out, nor movies, because you can't afford them; reading library books all day gets monotonous after a while; daytime television is even more moronic than the evening pap ... Day in day out you go through the classifieds, getting more angry and more frustrated by the minute. You find nothing, not even at the lousy three bucks an hour that Young Canada Works pays, nor the dollar a day that the paramilitary federal Katimavik program pays. Even those jobs are spoken for. As the Tory employment critic pointed out this Tuesday, for each and every job vacancy, there are 31 unemployed workers available and willing to fill it. How does all this relate to students? Well, for a start the student situation is at least as bad" as for Canadian under 25. Not that as many of us have families to support — although as the mean age of students rises, increasing numbers of students do — but we're expected to save money in the summer to help pay for our continued education in the fall. By July last year, official figures listed 15 per cent of students as still unemployed, and that figure doesn't include those working part-time, nor those who- had given up looking because they knew there wasn't a job available. For women, the situation was and will be even worse. Look around you now: for every six students you see, one of them is going to be unemployed this summer — and that one could likely be you yourself. What can be done to combat these levels of unemployment? Three ideas often put forward as solutions need to be disposed of right away. The first is that more training schemes will help. They won't. Such schemes merely result in more qualified unemployees. Unemployed university graduates know this as well as anyone. SUCCESS 5TRY. IW «D WGT 1KM TB SOCCtfP... H&TWI fW AGRttUe IRCALCUU9... 5B W A CAW fH? 3-31 KiikTitmuss Nothing stops students from making their own jobs with some initiative B> CHRIS NIWINSKI Recently two articles about student employment appeared in tills column One. by Moe Sihota Jan 31', was a collection of dubious statistics; the other, by Lorne Rogers, useful information regarding students' options for a job It is easv to bitch and complain, but much harder to come up with practical suggestions which might help the student cope with the unemployment situation. Let me deal with Sihota's article first. If I were to believe every detail in the article, then I might as well join the unemployment line before even trying to find a job after I graduate. Following the Toronto Star has revealed that only four of 50 new graduates were absolutely sure that they will receive a job upon graduation." When was this survey taken? If the survey was taken m September of the students' graduating year, then four is a pretty high figure, whereas if it was taken in May. then they had a serious problem. What faculty were they in" How large was the survey sample size? "The Canada Council on Social Development has reported that 17 per cent of all university graduates earn less than $7,000 annually." How many of those graduates arc employed on a full time basis? If we are dealing with "all university graduates." then we can infer that 83 per cent are not only employed, but making more than $7,000 annually. This statistic could be med to argue that university graduates find work easily-tihe opposite to the argument presented by Sihota. "Thirty per cent of those living below the poverty line are under 25 years of age and single, and 38 per cent of those have had post-secondary education." A quick calculation shows that in fact 38 per cent of 30 per cent, or 11.4 per cent of single people living below the poverty line and under 25 have post-secondary education, lliis is a much lower figure than the bare 30 per cent and 38 per cent imply. Chris Niwinshi, civil engineering 2, is a senator-at-large. i Perspectives is open to all members of the UBC community. How many of the 11.4 per cent finished their post-secondary education? "One-quarter of all those unemployed today in Canada are between 20 and 24." How many of those are university graduates'* Without that information the statistic has no place in an article concerned with unemployment among university graduates. What I have covered so far is about the first tenth of Sihota's ..MlJ«ln T Un..n «a* rtAl »W*t HIW..M .... *Wa «nn«.*.. I-a «*A «..*._ Ik*. _«*.* tAi iikii.-. i imvv iiul gut ui*; mum ui inc.- mizi £v ui |£u utn uic irai of the article in detail Among other conclusions, Sihota claims that engineers and commerce students arc no more employable upon graduation lhan students in arts and science. I would like to know where the heck he got that one, because I have information which clearly indicates the opposite. Wh> paint ableak picture based on ambiguous facts? I am as concerned as anyone that unemployment is rising in this country. I am not convienced from Sihota's article that my chances of finding a job as a university graduate in two years' time will not be better lhan for someone without a university education or vocational training. The more immediate problem for most students is the apparent lack of summer jobs. Lorne Rogers' didactic attitude is that we must rise up in numbers and protest in the form of a rally in Victoria in order to force the government to create more" summer jobs. This didacticism is going to accomplish nothing. He does not give us one solid suggestion about finding jobs. It is my belief that there are jobs to be found, and ours being a free enterprise society, nothing prevents a student from creating his own job. Bear with me and I will give you a few examples of how a student can create a summer job. I realize that some students have searched in \\ ain for summer work, and that there is a need for more jobs, but we need not rely- on the government for direction. The individual, rather than wait for a government handout (such as the Young Canada Works Program'' should take things into her/his own hands and either do thelegwork necessary to find a job, or create one on his/her own. Sound simple? Perhaps even moronic and naive? Try it first, and then come back and complain to me. So here is my list of methods and tactics to get yourself a summer job. It is by no means complete, and not ali ideas will be possible for everyone. All the suggestions have worked {for people I know of, or for myself). Start looking early, like November instead of April. See page 10: TAKE A second idea often proposed is that immigration is a cause of unemployment among Canadians. Alas for those in favor of more restrictive (which has meant racist, historically) immigration procedures, not so. For at least four years now, immigrants can only come to Canada to work either as relatives/fiances etc. of Canadians (not a large number), or as specialists taking a job for which not one qualified Canadian can be found. The third and most persistent 'cure' put forward is that the unemployed, including of course students, can all rush out and create their own jobs. Sure, an individual student may manage this; indeed, some students do this every summer. However, if all unemployed students did this one of two things would happen (probably both): first, earnings would be bid down to about a buck an hour for the student gardeners/house- painters of this province, because remember there's no minimum wage for those who employ themselves. * Secondly, those who are year-round patio- builders/painters (and who probably have families to support) would quickly go out of business: it's like a balloon — you can push it in one place, but it will surely spring out elsewhere if you do. Market demand in the economy must be jacked up. Corporate tax breaks—such as the $1,245 billion handed out in the March 1977 federal budget — don't create this increased demand. There's nothing to stop these tax breaks being translated into higher dividends for the foreign shareholders who own many of the corporations. The one sure-fire method of increasing market demand is for the government to create jobs directly. This puts money into poorer people's pockets, tnoney they will spend within Canada on such basics as food and shelter. With well over 20 per cent of Canadian manufacturing capacity idle at the present time, we have the capability to produce the goods to meet this demand. But the ball has to be gotten rolling, and government job creation is the most logical means: more jobs means more total income in Canada, which means a higher market demand, which means will create more jobs, which will mean . . . get the picture? Fortunately for students, somebody is dong something about this situation. Unfortunately for you, that somebody isn't the government — who can afford to create jobs —but the B.C. Federation of Labor, who can only protest — loudly. The Alma Mater Society's ad hoc committee on unemployment is joining them. We believe it's important that everybody who wants a job can get one, and that everybody includes students. We don't agree with one AMS student representative assembly member who said "I think unemployment is a dead issue; it's been flogged to death." Nor, we suspect, would the 1,007,000 people in this country who wer officially listed as unemployed in February 1978. (The member is science rep Eddy Auersperg, in case you're interested) What can you do as an individual? Firstly, you can write expressing your concern to your MP (postage free) and to your MLA. Secondly, you can read the AMS ad hoc committee on unemployment's literature, and find out about the March 30th rally. Thirdly, you will be welcome at committee meetings to find out more. The B.C. Federation of Labor's rally will take place March 30th in Victoria. It is timed to co-incide with the opening of the Spring Session of the B.C. legislature. For those wishing to attend the rally, we have already arranged free passage to and from Victoria, via buses and the special ferry booked by the B.C. Federation of Labor. The more of you show up, the more pressure is put on the government, and the more likely they are to do something about unemployment. If nobody hollers, the government will do nothing, it's as simple as that. Rob Marris is a member of the AMS ad hoc committee on unemployment and is a graduate student in history.

THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, March 21, 1978 wmmm Unemployment is your business Out of work with nothing to do? A panel discussion on the unemployment problem will be held Thursday at noon in the SUB auditorium. The discussion is sponsored by the student representative assembly's ad hoc committee on unemployment. Navel gazing The best rag west of Blanca is about to pack it all in. In honor of the arrival of spring. The Ubyssey staff has decided to publish only two more . issues so harried reporters and authoritarian editors can trudge over to Buchanan Tower and beg foregiveness to the power-that-be for late assignments. The last chance for Tween Hot flashes Classes, Hot Flashes, and letters to the editor will be this Wednesday, March 22, and a week from this Thursday, (March 30) in the big end-of-the year extravaganza issue. Remember, get your notices in or you'll have to wait another six months to complain. Women's place Are you a woman who needs help finding work? A Woman's Place is a free multi-lingual service that helps women find their place in the working world. The service offers counselling in choosing careers and finding employment relevant to each woman's studies and future goals. No appointment is needed. Drop in any time between 8:30 and 4:30 Monday to Friday in the Vancouver Post Office building, second floor at 125 East 10th Ave. Dave raves Do you remember when it was in to hate the NDP? Well, now all we've got to get mad at are premier Bill Bennett, human resources minister Bill Vander Zalm and their motley crew of car-dealing Socreds. And don't think the NDP won't take the opportunity to crap on the other party now that the shoe is on the other foot. Opposition leader Dave Barrett will do just that Wednesday at noon in the SUB auditorium. Dieting Dave will procrastinate on speaker Ed Smith's frolics, Socred fiscal policy and the existentialism of crying upper middle class university students. Former education minister Eileen Dailly will definitely not be in attendance. /..- ■ ,„■■■:■ 'Tween classes TODAY SAILING CLUB Volleyball, 5:30 p.m., winter sports centre gym B.

The Reps finished as runners-up in Cup competition to the Van couver Rugby Union Crimson Tide, who beat the Fraser Valley Reps 36-0 in Victoria Saturday in Cup round-robin play. The 'Birds came out strong in the first half and had an early lead to show for their effort. Fullback Graham Taylor took the ball inside the UBC half of the field and ran through the middle of half a dozen Vancouver defenders before yielding possession to fly half Gary Hirayama who outraced everyone 40 metres for the try. Play in the first half was pretty well paced by the forwards with a lot of hard hitting featured. The UBC scrum played credibily, getting the ball from the loose effectively. The backfields were fairly evenly matched with neither side able to press a lasting advantage and a lot of kicking. Unfortunately for the 'Birds, the forward play in the second half was the antithesis of the first. The Vancouver Reps snatched the momentum immediately and used their pack to build a position of THUNDERBIRD LIGHTWEIGHTS. Hosts take honors at 20-team rowing meet UBC won the three feature races at the UBC Spring Regatta Saturday at Burnaby Lake, at which 400 athletes from 20 clubs competed. The hosts took the points title with 152, while runner-up Lake Washington Rowing Club had 90, the University of Victoria 72, Washington State University 60 and Victoria. City Rowing Club 57. In the men's elite eights, UBC led the Vancouver Rowing Club off the start. The two teams pulled away from the pack, with UBC in the lead. In the third 500 of the 2,000-metre race the leaders lost some poise, but the Rowing Club was unable to catch up and UBC won in 6:09,2.9 seconds ahead of Vancouver. In the men's lightweight eights, UBC finished in 6:43, swamping runner-up Brentwood College by 12.5 seconds. The UBC Jayvees won the men's senior A eights in 6:29, eight seconds in front of UBC lightweights. UBC also won the elite fours. But in the women's events, Canadian and U.S. national team composite crews from, Burnaby Lake and Lake Washington dominated the heavyweights. In the women's lightweights UBC took the trophies for both the fours and eights. Next weekend the UBC men and women head to Corvallis, Ore., to race on Willamette River in a dual meet with strong rival Oregon State University. Tired field hockey finals mean UBC shares title The UBC Jayvee women's field hockey team are co-champions with the Doves in the Vancouver Second Division after the two teams played to a scoreless tie in the playoff final Saturdat at Trafalgar Park. Excellent goaltending by Stacy Sainas in the early going prevented the Doves from scoring as UBC got off to a shaky start. After 10 minutes UBC settled down and dominated the rest of the half. Helen Sovdat was strong in midfield, distributing the ball well as UBC used a hard-hitting game, playing the ball down the wings to beat a slow Doves defence. Neither team mounted a consistent attack in the second half and play became scrappy The Doves kept the ball in UBC's end for long periods, but could not penetrate the circle. Fullback Deb McCarter was steady for UBC inside her own 25. Once UBC got the ball out of their end they were far more dangerous than the Doves and barely missed scoring on several occasions. Field hockey action concludes for the year Saturday as the Thunderbirds play the Falcons at 11:30 a.m. at Empire Stadium. Jock shorts The UBC Thunderettes hockey team finished its successful first season Sunday with a 3-0 win over host Kitsilano in Vancouver women's ice hockey league second division playoffs. UBC's playoff record was 3-1-2, good for third spot in the second division. Riley Park, which tied UBC 2-2 March 12, was the winner of the seven- team round-robin competition. The Thunderettes invite women from the intramural teams to practice with them today and next Tuesday at 5 p.m. at rink two at the Winter Sports Centre. ***** The University of Alberta Golden Bears jumped into a 3-0 lead, then held on for a 6-5 win over the University of Toronto Blues Sunday in the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union hockey final in Moncton, N.B. Kevin Primeau scored a pair of goals and had an assist for the Golden Bears and was chosen as the most valuable player of the round-robin tourney. Alberta beat UBC in a best-of-three western playoff final in Edmonton the previous weekend. take lead at spring regatta dominance. The 'Birds were pressed hard several times but managed to turn back the Reps on each occasion until fullback Ron Whyte finally was able to score what turned out to be the winning try. Centre Rob Grieg converted. UBC came right back after the score and looked as if they were about to break the game open with some intelligent backfield play. But they were twice turned back from the goal line and the Reps took the game away. Cliff Jones scored Vancouver's last try after the Reps had been pressing UBC deep for several minutes. Jones took the ball away from UBC in a maul near the five- metre mark and dove in for the try. UBC's next game is Wednesday, when it meets the University of Victoria Vikings at UVic. The 'Birds play the Stanford University Cardinals at 7:30 p.m. next Tuesday at Swangard stadium and finish up with a match with the University of California at Berkeley Gold Bears March 30 at Thunderbird stadium. Easy Page 10 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, March 21, 1978 Take low wage From page 5 Although Student Services (you are aware that they can help you find a summer job?) are helpful, don't rely on them to find you a summer job without putting in considerable effort on your own. Get out and hussle on your own in addition to registering at Student Services and checking their boards periodically. Prepare a resume and carry copies of it on every job hunting expedition. Ask someone who has had success in job hunting to help you prepare your resume. Go directly to every company in the field of your interest and ask about summer work. Many employers who were not planning to hire any students for the summer will decide to hire an individual because they were impressed by his or her incentive in looking for a job (don't tell me that is bull until you have honestly tried). A thousand government ads asking employers to hire students are not nearly as effective as one persuasive student talking to an employer. Initiative Consider work in any field. If you are willing to work in the bush, there is a lot of work in the north, particularly in Alberta. I know many people who just hitchhike north in the spring and ask around for work. Very few have ever returned unemployed. Talk to someone who has tried this — he or sne may be willing to share some useful information with you. Better a low wage than no wage. It is an unfortunate fact that some companies will take advantage of people by paying a very low wage for hard work. As a last resort, minimum wages can hold you over until you can find something better. Even working at a McDonald's is better than nothing. Are you mechanically inclined? If so, set up a neighborhood bicycle repair shop. There are hundreds of bicycles that need fixing in every neighborhood. The key here is making your operation known. Ads are cheap in local newspapers and shopping centre bulletin boards are free. Relativity Mowing lawns, housecleaning, and baby-sitting are still good ways to earn some money. Start your own moving company. The number of students who own cars these days leads me to believe that many could scrounge $500 between two or three of them to buy an old pickup truck (yes, Virginia, there are operable pickup trucks which can be bought for $500). The moving business is a lucrative market. By making your operation known and charging around two-thirds of what most moving companies charge these days, you could make more money, if you're lucky, than most summer jobs would pay you. It does take a lot of organization and initiative, and you are taking a bit of a chance. There are always companies looking for telephone solicitors and door-to-door sales people. If you have persuasive talents, this might be a solution to your unemployment problem. On the other hand, if you can hack door-to-door sales and sell enough to make a decent wage, you can probably talk your way into a better job. You can virtually guarantee yourself a job if you hold an industrial first aid certificate. The forest products industry has always looked favorably on applications which list industrial first aid under "certificates held," even if the applicant is not a forestry student. There are various courses you can take which lead to such a certificate. It costs money and time to take these courses, but the investment is worthwhile. Use the theory of relativity to your advantage. For those of you who have never studied physics, as well as for those of you who have, the theory states that those who have the relatives get the jobs. So don't be proud, and ask any relative who is working if there might be a position open for the summer where they work. Caddy at a golf course. Jobs as waitresses and waiters are not as hard to get as others, but are a lot harder on the feet. Form a house painting company. Many people will hire students to paint their houses, both the interior and the exterior. If a prospective client doubts your ability, offer to do one room as a trial, and if they like the workmanship, they can hire you to do the rest of the house. Last year, a group of high school students got together and rented the Flamingo Theatre. They put on a variety show using the talents they had. It was a one- or two-night stand, well publicized, and the students involved made a good profit. Do you do your own work on your car? Body repair? Make your talents (arid 'reasonable rates') known and turn them into profit. Come up with a better idea than the above. They are just guidelines for a wealth of possibilities. I can only guarantee one thing: if you wait for the government to create a summer job for you, you will wait a long time. Letters Sensitivity can stop racism Amazing! In reply to my letter (March 9) urging Chinese and other ethnic groups to be more sensitive to both themselves and one another, Barry Lam and BUI Kolida (March 14) argue that the problem should be solved by all of us becoming less sensitive; that we should "allow offensive gestures to pass as outlets of racial tension." His criticism is symptomatic of that disease of the soul which I called colonization. Others less kind than I would call him a banana. That racial tension which we both recognize is the result not of foreigners taking jobs and raising welfare costs as you suggest. It is the result of the ignorance to be found in the warped little mind of the racist. Once you can accept this simple little fact, it becomes clear how ludicrous it is to assert that the problem can be solved by becoming less serious, less sensitive, and by swallowing insults. Far from releasing tensions, this is precisely what contributes to that ignorance. Ethnic jokes and slurs hurt all people by making them less sensitive to one another. They hurt us too unless we are completely lacking in pride as Chinese people.

PRESCRIPTION OPTICAL You seem to suggest that this pain is all in our minds, that if we could just desensitize our minds enough, it wouldn't hurt. Thus you would condemn us for protesting against insults, or, heaven forbid, for standing up to the racist to stop his evil ways, lest we be seen as "another undesirable force." You further suggest to Chinese people that "to gain a sense of belonging, they should try to integrate with the rest of us and not to consolidate with your 'brothers and sisters.' " That sounds like a threat and you sound threatened. Barry, who do you mean by "they? " Who is "us? " What kind of "integration" would we have on the terms suggested by your friend Kolida? Those terms could only limit our horizons as human beings. If our only way of dealing with racism is to accept it and try to fit into a racist world (which seems to be the gist of your letter), what kind of people would we be? We would be adopting and living the very stereotypes that the racists are trying to impose on us. Integration without pride is the integration of the house slave moving into the master's house. I too grew up in the East End, and I'm familiar with your reaction to racism. It's sick. You think that by calling each other Jap, Chink, Raghead, etc. enough times these epithets will then cease to be offensive? How? At what cost to our humanity? Or that of the racist? That's like asking people to accept slaps on the face so that they can develop calluses on their cheeks. Let me make it clear that I abhor racists of any color. I would love to see the day when we can all live together in harmony and understanding. But that day will not be hastened unless we all become more sensitive to one another, learn to accept our true identity with pride, and respect each other as equals. Barry, I think you could gain a lot of insight into both yourself and into Chinese people by sitting down with your parents to discuss racism, their experience in this country and their hopes for you. Maybe you can start the discussion rolling by calling them chinks.

V8W 2Y2 DEADLINE: May 30, 1978 Tuesday, March 21, 1978 THE UBYSSEY Pag* 11 Letters Women and men were put here to live together I am sick, sick, sick of feminism. After reading the article, Capitalism Oppresses Women in the March 14 issue concerning Val Embree's lecture, I am even more ill. Up til quite recently, my attitude towards feminism was rather indifferent. There was nothing for me in it. I was too busy learning and trying to be a responsible human being to worry about my status as a woman. After all, the one person who had urged me to further my education, who has believed in my ability to do practically anything has always been my father. He was -the one person who laughed at my fears of being unable to do certain things because I was female. Now that I think of it, it has largely been Disappointed Your decision to refuse to publish the classified ad dealing with the "cry of the aborted children" is a poor one. Given the recent court of appeal judgment which upheld the Vancouver Sun's right to reject a Gay Alliance Toward Equality advertisement, I cannot deny that The Ubyssey seems to have the legal right to withhold from publication any material that it feels might offend a portion of its reading audience. However I am disappointed that a student newspaper, funded partially by student financial contributions, feels the need to 'protect' some of its readers from a moral viewpoint held by a substantial number of students on this campus. I agree with Megan Ellis, the Rape Relief worker who protested its publication, that the ad was an 'emotion- charged' statement. I am sure that it was meant to be. Many people are aware that the pregnant woman is not the only individual whose legal and personal rights are affected by a decision to abort — the unborn child's rights are considered by many, myself included, to be just as important and worthy of protection as the right of its mother. I cannot pretend to be sorry that the advertisement upsets people, or that it makes a woman's decision to abort her unborn child a more difficult and painful one. It is undoubtedly easier for an individual to comfort herself that her decision is the correct one if she is encouraged to consider only one viewpoint of the moral dilemma in which she finds herself caught. It must be painful to know that others will consider a choice to abort the wrong decision, and that it might indeed in her own particular circumstances tie the wrong choice. It must be even more difficult to consider all the ramifications of her decision. I agree that the classified ad does not make the task of a woman in the process of deciding whether or not to continue a pregnancy an easy one. Its wording was calculated to provoke even more thought,, even more self- interrogation, than is currently carried out. But I respectfully disagree with Megan Ellis that the ad was an 'affront' to any woman deciding to have, or who has had an abortion. I know that it was not calculated to insult or attack. The people who ran this ad have a clear understanding of the difficulty facing a raped woman who finds herself pregnant as a result, and moreover much compassion for her. They simply desire that people not forget the rights of the other individual involved in this situation, namely, the unborn child. Yes, Megan Ellis, the classified message was 'emotion-charged.' Yes, it upsets people. But I am nevertheless sorry that The Ubyssey feels the need to take it upon itself to censor its reading material, and hide a viewpoint because the validity of the emotion it expresses is too much for some of its readers to handle. H. McDonald law 2 Congratulations I am writing to both thank and congratulate your staff on its decision not to run the messages advertisement re aborted children. The ad, which appeared in your paper for a good many issues was an affront to many women and men and it is with a great deal of pleasure that I am writing to you to say "thank you; for once you've done something right!" Kate Andrew arts 3 men who have taken the time to interest themselves in and advise me on my career. Perhaps some feminist out there will scoff at me and snort that I've been lucky so far, but I have also known men who did resent any small claim I might have towards intelligence or capability. Usually, these were people of very low self-esteem, and far more worthy of my pity than my hatred. Perhaps I'm being naive in saying that any one person's chance of success in this country is largely up to him or her. But often fear of inadequacy or inability causes a person to lay the blame at any other door than his or her own. Feminists seem to harbor an overwhelming anger, and in their desire to release it they attempt to identify an enemy they can lash out at in blind unreasoning fury. With traditional mob mentality, feminists have turned their anger against men, and now of all things against capitalism. Val Embree forgets that exploitation of women has existed for centuries in numberless societies, all of which did not embrace capitalism. In fact, if one considers North America as one of the last strongholds of a watered-down version of capitalism, isn't it strange that this 'oppressing' system has done more to free women from menial drudgery and the 'burden' of motherhood than practically any other on the planet? Are feminists optimistic enough to believe that women in the USSR are liberated? Would they be so optimistic if they had firsthand experience with this kind of liberation? It is true that most Soviet women have jobs, but they still end up rushing home at the end of the day to make meals, do laundry and shop. The government has had some difficulty convincing the Soviet man that these menial tasks are now part of his domain as well. The Soviet woman also has the tendency to choose jobs that are situated in close proximity to her home and her children's nursery school, rather than jobs that will further her career. Then, as she must spend her few free hours doing housework, it is unlikely that she will devote the time needed to train for or hold down a job with more responsibility. Thus, the higher the level of the job, the fewer the women there are represented. Instead women are found in large numbers, sweating in the ranks of ditchdiggers and street sweepers. It is true that most doctors in the USSR are women, but there, the medical profession is not one which provides one with either status or money. To be fair, I will agree that feminism has played a great role in the breaking down of resistance by the few unintelligent men who cannot perceive the potential women have to add to society and for some strange reason resent female ambitions. But I have enough regard for the 'other half' to believe that most of them are reasoning creatures. Aren't they more likely to be won over with reason than hostility? It is up to the women themselves to work hard and prove through their actions that they are indeed equal. Choosing villains to sling mud at is a waste of time. The naming of capitalism as the latest 'oppressor of women' is historically ill-founded and based very weakly on tired Marxian scripture. Attacking one's fellow man will get us no further. Long ago it was necessary for the survival of humanity that the male should help the female as she toiled along with her brood of infants. Now, just because a woman is free from the 'burden' of childbearing doesn't mean that the old interdependence can be entirely put aside. Whether one believes in God or not, the fact remains that men and women were both plunked down on this planet to live together. It makes more sense that they should stand together, work together and give each other a hand now and then rather than squabbling like a bunch of spoiled children. Maureen Curtis arts 4 Joke's humor depends on how its taken To all those people who are offended at racist jokes: First, I want to make it clear that I do not support racism. I think it is stupid. However, there will always be some people who will feel their race is superior to others. Of course they will make offensive gestures, make racial jokes and make stereotypes of people who belong to "inferior" races. What do you do with these people? Beat them up in hopes of them liking you better and respecting your ancestory. Perhaps you will want to get other people who were discriminated against and rally, thus segregating and calling attention to yourselves (a prime target for abuse). This may work against governments, but not racists. So what am I to do if a guy comes up to me Life potential overlooked This letter is written in reply to Megan Ellis (March 16) and to express concern about your refusing to run the ad that reads "listen to the cry of the aborted children. Their cry is a cry of terror. Heed their cry." It seems that abortion is no longer a debated issue. Is the moral correctness of Emotional I am writing in regard to a letter in last Thursday's paper entitled Charged which protested anti-abortion ads in The Ubyssey as being upsetting to victims of rape contemplating an abortion. The article described the ads as "emotion-charged" which indeed, from the example given in the letter, they seemed to be. I think the medical, scientific question of whether a fetus is human or not will probably never be resolved. The question has to be answered on an emotional level. If you feel God endows every unborn child with a soul at the time of conception, and if you believe that life is as valuable as your own, how can you remain silent, even at the risk of upsetting a woman greatly after she's been through the horrible experience of being raped? Murray Reinhart arts 2 abortion so arguable that one can dismiss "emotion-charged statements" to the contrary? I don't believe so. Personally I believe all human life is important regardless of potential. Because prenatal life is unseen this makes the potential of that life easily overlooked. Would abortionists abort newborn infant life if the baby would be an inconveniene or emotional upset to the mother? I don't believe they would, yet they are willing to abort prenatal life for the same reasons. Rape is a vicious crime and pregnancy is very much a part of that crime. I can understand that any love for a resulting baby would be difficult for the mother and that the process of carrying the baby would be traumatic, but there is, in my mind, another issue to consider, the life (death) of the prenatal infant. Deciding not to run the ad is an affront to those who feel there is an unnecessary loss of life every time an abortion is performed. The Ubyssey has an obligation to present both sides of an issue and give people the opportunity to present and contest, points of view, opinions and warnings, even if the staff or editors do not share the opinion expressed. Peter Stainton education 4 and_ asks me to launder his shirt with less starch? There is a vast number of people who are not what people would consider to be racist yet come up to me with a racist joke. It's all in how you take it. Consider it a bad joke. It may be funny to others and others can laugh at it over a beer. In summation I say again, do not fight these derogatory remarks. You will only put yourself up on a pedestal in the line of fire for more abuse. Even if a remark was aimed to maim consider it a bad joke and no harm is done. Barry Lam phys ed 3 Flippantly The comments of Bill Kolida and Barry Lam (March 14) distress me because of their acceptance and, indeed, approval of so-called ethnic jokes. Kolida and Lam seem to think these "jokes" are harmless and actually serve a useful purpose. In reality, racism is perpetuated and hatred is developed by the racial slurs which, unfortunately, some people treat too flippantly. Racism, whether overt or under the guise of a sophomoric joke (such as the one that recently appeared in the Totem Park newsletter), is more than just offensive; it is a vicious and destructive force that our world can easily do without. Also, Kolida and Lam are sadly mistaken if they think that by having all people conform to their standards all economic and social problems will disappear. I urge them, and others like them, to rethink their views on these important matters for their own good, my good, and the good of all others. Peter Seidl science 4 Page 12 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, March 21, 1978 Jobless youth angry, frustrated The following feature by Peter Birt, former Canadian University Press national affairs reporter, is reprinted from the Student Advocate, the official publication of the National Union of Students. By PETER BIRT In Italy almost two-thirds of the 1.5 million officially, unemployed are young people. Violent demonstrations and confrontations with the government are increasing. People want jobs. In Germany young people make up a quarter of the unemployed. There are nearly 500,000 unem- • the reinforcement of established information, counselling and placement services; • special measures to help young people enter working life, including paid and unpaid work experience; • measures affecting the size of the labor force, such as extended education, paid educational leave or flexible retirement; and • the variety of the measures is simply a reflection of the variety of philosophies to be found in the member countries which include, Canada, United States, Australia, Sweden, Italy, United Kingdom, Japan, Austria, Spain and Finland. Several measures in the seven- ployed youth in France. The _ government fears a repeat of the po^t "list havebeen the focus of 1968 riots. Canada's attempt to deal with Even Canada s former finance minister Donald MacDonald has expressed concern for the future for a country with massive youth unemployment. At an economic summit for the seven leading industrial nations in London in May, he said "long term youth unemployment could lead to youth unemployment. Employment minister Bud Cullen has constantly repeated that there must be a closer connection between education and the workplace (iciTi finds In Germany, the government has begun a large-scale program of apprenticeships, for young people "Long term youth unemployment could lead to social unrest and if it persisted, it might lead to political destabilization" social unrest and if it persisted might lead to political de- stabilization." But it has persisted. Roy Jenkins, president of the European Economic Community (EEC) said that youth unemployment is one of "the problems which originally appeared to be mainly short term (but) are liable increasingly to assume a more permanent nature." This view is shared by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a group made up of 24 of the leading industrial nations. The OECD held a special international conference on youth unemployment in December, 1977, to "exchange experience on measures that have been adopted or planned in member countries to combat youth unemployment." In June, 1977 Donald MacDonald said after the annual meeting of the OECD in Paris that he did "not believe we are ready for a high- level conference" on youth unemployment. There are several reasons why MacDonald was hesitant about the conference. First, the OECD had just declared that it affirmed a five per cent over-all growth target for all the OECD countries in 1978. Secondly, and probably more importantly, Canada has the worst record for youth unemployment among OECD countries. There were seven points reviewed by the OECD as steps to reduce youth unemployment. They were: • The introduction of incentives for the creation or maintenance of jobs for young people in the private sector. In this connection, the role of small- and medium-sized enterprises was emphasized; • the creation of jobs in the public sector in response to urgent social needs in fields such as health, social services, adult education and environmental protection; public support for local community projects, outside traditional public structures; • measures designed to develop various forms of training, including apprenticeships, both in enterprises and in institutions; below the normal apprenticeship age limits. The government knows that there will be more workers than jobs available in the immediate future but hopes that the economic climate will improve. If it does there will be immediate placements for these new trained workers. The OECD also discussed the problem of the type of work that these young people — between the ages of 15 and 25 — are taking or rejecting. One solution to this problem would be "action by employers, trade unions and governments to adapt the quality of wOrking life to the aspirations and capacities of young people and to enhance the value of manual work. One of the disagreements at the conference came over the question of forced retirement, reductions in working time and other matters concerning the sharing of available employment opportunities. According to the final communique from the conference "There was a diversity of views on the merits and the effectiveness of such measures. However, it was generally agreed that the social arid economic implications of such changes were both complex and uncertain — in particular with regard to their reversibility — and that they were not a substitute for efforts to provide employment for all." Although governments, including Canada's have known for decades that there would be a large increase in the number of young people seeking jobs, regardless of the existing economic climate, none has acted to counter the problem before it became a crisis. Cullen can say as he did in his speech to the conference, "that the costs (of youth unemployment) may also become political, if young people become disillusioned enough to seek disruptive change in society, but the failure of this government to act decisively is the best indication of their position. For the future Cullen could only repeat what the government has done in the past. "The federal government has responded to this challenge as part of its over-all response to the economic and labor market conditions it has faced." For young people that strategy has meant fewer and fewer jobs. As we have seen, the response to the growing youth unemployment problem has not been the same everywhere. There is yet to be a riot in Ottawa. But there have been demonstrations in nine of the capitals of the European Community according to one report, and in North America the real response to the growing number of people in the unemployment lines, is now being seen as increased drug addiction, violent crime and related social problems according to some political commentators. The question is not though, how are the unemployed going to respond, but what should and could be done to stop and reverse this situation. At the end of the OECD conference there was agreement that activities to counter youth unemployment should be promoted by action in three main directions: • the creation of jobs through increased economic activity whenever possible; t the intensification of special measures to increase employment opportunities for youth without weakening existing labor protection of young workers; and • an improved transition from school to work.
