THE UBYSSEY Vol. LXVII.No. 28 Vancouver, B.C. Friday, January 11,1985 4? 48 228-2301 No-shows could not afford fees By DEBBIE LO A survey just completed by UBC shows nearly one-third of students it accepted for admission to a B.C. university last fall did not show up because they could not afford the costs. Simon Fraser University, UBC and the University of Victoria jointly sent out more than 5,500 questionnaires to find out why the num ber of "no-shows" this year was so high compared to past years. The survey had a 50 per cent response rate. The survey revealed 30 per cent of the "no-shows" are now working because they do not have enough money to return to university. At UBC a 17 per cent increase in no-shows coincided with a 33 per cent tuition hike and the end of provincial student aid grants. Margaret Copping, Alma Mater Society president, said the real significance of the survey is that people who are deemed acceptable to the universities are not coming because of financial constraints. "The survey verifies what we've been saying all along, that money is holding people up." The survey says 70 per cent of no- shows are still attending a post-secondary institution. And of this 70 per cent, 20 per cent are attending a non-B.C. university, 15 to 20 per cent are attending a B.C. college or institute, and the remaining 30 to 35 per cent are attending another B.C. university. The highest percentage of no- shows deciding to attend a non-B.C. university was from UBC (33 per cent), in comparison to SFU (22 per cent), and UVic (seven per cent). The survey asked each no-show to state why they decided not to attend after being admitted to a B.C. university and instead attend a B.C. college or institute. Lower college tuitions and lack of personal funds were the main reasons cited. The main reasons B.C. was shunned in favor of a non-B.C. university were: denial of entry to the program of their choice due to enrolment quotas in some faculties and because B.C. universities notified these students of acceptance at a late date, the survey states. See page 2: TUITION UBC faculties may be axed By CHRIS WONG Entire faculties or programs could be chopped if UBC is saddled with another five per cent cut in provincial government funding, a student board of governors representative said Thursday. A repeat of last year's five per cent cut would give UBC an $18 million shortfall, leaving administrators with little choice but to cut whole faculties, said Don Holubitsky. "I think we're looking at substantial cuts," he said. "It's going to be a large faculty or significant cuts in a few faculties." Holubitsky said an $18 million shortfall is equivalent to the funds saved by cutting the entire science faculty, adding that firing 400 professors or raising tuition 80 per cent would also make up the deficit. "It's a staggering amount," he said. "UBC could go down the tubes." Administration president George Pedersen said he has been in constant communication with government officials on the upcoming year's funding levels but still does not know what UBC will receive. Pedersen said a five per cent cut is possible but refused to comment on whether entire faculties could be eliminated. "There's alot of things being considered at this time, but they can't be discussed," Pedersen said. "It's terribly difficult to discuss it now if we don't know about our funding totals." The senate budget committee is currently examining ways of covering the shortfall, he added. The provincial Universities Act prohibits the three B.C. universities from carrying a deficit. Robert Smith, vice president academic and a budget committee member, also refused to verify if entire faculties will be cut. "But if we'ie looking for $18 million, we're not going to be looking under rocks," he added. Smith said any major cuts recommended by the budget committee must go before the entire 87-member senate before being implemented. The committee is following guidelines outlined in a September 1983 budget committee report to determine cuts, he said. The report provides an "academic plan" for determining university priorities based on criteria to rank programs or faculties such as quality, cost, uniqueness, and whether they can be considered essential "core activities." "The university should not have any non-core activities, even in times of financial abundance," reads the report. Education dean Daniel Birch said rumors regularly circulate to the ef- See page 4: DEAN Office 'stretched — rory a. photo PRESENT AND FUTURE, hand in hand, plodding away from the dull dreary land. First one flunked out, didn't make her grad list. Second's not sure if grad class will exist. Candidates speak on problems By ROBERT BEYNON At 12:30 p.m. the speakers' microphones and table were set up in the SUB conversation Pit. Students lounged about reading, drinking coffee and talking. Seven minutes later Don Mustard, Alma Mater Society elections commissioner, announced the forum for student board of governor and senator-at-large candidates was to begin. Board incumbent Don Holubitsky began and spoke more than five minutes with no interruption. Holubitsky said he believed his and Dave Frank's last year on the board was fruitful but there are more problems he wants to deal with. "We need your help to pressure the university" to give students the guarantee they can complete their programs. He added a student board rep must be able to deal with other major university issues, which include funding — likely to be cut five per cent — and maintaining quality and accessibility. Board candidate Phil Bennett, a graduate student council executive, also said UBC must guarantee students can finish programs they are enrolled in. He said he would try to keep in contact with students. Board candidate Nancy Bradshaw, the AMS external affairs coordinator, said she would also keep in contact with students and address their concerns. Steven Harris, interfraternity council president and another board candidate, said he would like to see cost cutting measures implemented and cited specific changes to library policy. When asked if he realized the board would not decide specific library policies but just set their budget, he said he might not understand the board's duties but could learn them. Board candidate Alan Pinkney said he would communicate with students and that he thought he could do special work regarding recreation facilities for students. Senator-at-large candidates Sean Bickerton said students must stand up to cuts on senate. Incumbent candidate Donna Chow said senate I must promise students can complete a course they enter into. Danica Gleave said as a senator she would not allow tuition to be raised.33 per cent again. (Tuition is set by the board). Jane Ingman-Ba- ker said she had experience as both a teaching assistant and a student and could work to create alliances in senate. Ruth Macdougall said she would represent students and Deidre Moore said she had been planning to become a senator for a long time. Moore added she wanted to build an "awareness" on campus. Joanne Sasvari, unclassified, said she would "act on students' opinions." Demand for counselling at the women students' office was up 27 per cent in November this year compared to the same month last year, says the office director. June Lythgoe said Tuesday the office has reached the limit for adequately counselling one-to-one. '' We are stretched," she said The women students' office had a drop-in tradition, but appointments now need to be made, Lythgoe said, adding the office's services have become more widely known or that people are feeling more stress. "So many students have such serious problems or decisions to make or are under such stress that we have to put all our energy in to those needs," Lythgoe said. The increased demand has resulted in cutbacks in extra programs. Programs that have been cut include the Friday Forums, an issue group which discussed such matters as alcoholism and math anxiety, a film series, and assertiveness. UBC anthropology professor Helga Jacobson, whose comments at a November conference on women, work and the family made The Globe and Mail, said Wednesday there is an increased need for counselling during times of restraint. "In times of pressure and stress and uncertainty in particular . . . students are obviously affected by that kind of pressure," she said. At the conference held at Douglas College, Jacobson said: "The assumption is that the community has the resources to pick up the casualties when social and health services arae cut back. That assumption is fundamentally false. It is a policy that cannot work. It moves society toward the institutions of the nineteenth century: orphanages, debtors prisons." DO YOU WANT YOUR PROGRAM CUT? • The senate budget committee has recommended to the president's office that there should be no guarantee students entering a program can finish it. • UBC president George Pedersen says he has not made up his mind yet. • Last spring special education students had to fight to complete their degrees after L'BC cut the program.

The book, Spanish One, required for all Dalhousie Spanish majors, has angered several students but some faculty including the book's author are dismissing their complaints. "I found the text fairly upsetting," said Rosanne Biocchi, a social work graduate student who glanced through a friend's copy of the book. "When you are learning a language, you do things by rote and repetition as a method of teaching. I'm worried that the negative images of women as portrayed in the text will be reinforced by repetition," she said. Biocchi said students learning Spanish with the book's help will Tuition hike still possible From page 1 UBC administration president George Pedersen said Thursday UBC's high no-show rate was unique last year. He added UBC is still considering a tuition fee increase next year, even though survey results indicate 30 per cent of respondents did not show because of financial constraints. The survey showed 66 per cent of students attending a B.C. college or institute intend to return to a B.C. university in the next two years. Only 16 per cent of out-of-province re spondents said they would return during this time. John Chase, survey director and UBC professor, said in the report even though the B.C. government removed provincial grants, leaving students to rely on student loans as financial aid, students did not state this withdrawal of funds was a major factor in their decision not to return to a B.C. university. "Whether the no-shows subsumed the withdrawal of provincial bursary funds as part of their overall concern with adequacy of personal funds remains uncertain," he says in his survey report. also pick up its values. She said one of the most blatant examples is the first dialogue from the text: Javier: "The ideal woman? And what's the ideal woman lie?" Frank: "Well, she's good and a generous soul. She's intelligent and sincere." Javier: "No. That woman isn't ideal. She's hypocritical and bad." Arts and science dean Donald Betts, who said the book can be construed as sexist, has opened a file on the book because some students objected to its tone.

Friday, January 11, 1985 THE UBYSSEY Page 3 It's senate's fault, says McGeer By VICTOR WONG The university senate, and not the provincial government, is responsible for the budgetary mess that B.C.'s universities are in, universities minister Pat McGeer says. McGeer, in a Dec. 13 Sun interview, said universities could be run much better with their current budgets, but self-interest prevents members of their senates from agreeing on which areas to cut back. "The people best qualified to make these .(priority) decisions are the presidents and their academic advisors . . . but the chief executive officer has no powers to resolve conflicts between governments that fund universities and the senates and faculty unions that govern them. What can a poor president do?" McGeer said. McGeer said the University Act is to blame for creating this dilemma, saying it was written in the days before spending limits were seriously contemplated. He said he couldn't blame the universities for being un able to practice restraint because "there is no way for them to do it." McGeer cited what he considers the Act's problems to be: • the university president is given very few powers — recommending hiring and firing, "summoning" meetings and "establishing" committees; • the board of governors can only establish faculties with the approval of senate (there is no mention of eliminating faculties); • because the faculties them selves dominate the senate, priorities in spending cuts become difficult to set due to self-interest. McGeer said reforming the legislation is necessary. "The form of the legislation is the handicap, and it is the universities themselves which promoted the legislation. So I think it is time to talk in terms of reforming the legislation, not only in this province but for all universities." McGeer said such reforms must put power into the hands of univer- - Charlie fidelman photo BRAIN REMOVAL VICTIMS prance about wilds of Chester, Nova Scotia after being shunned by local folk for their cultural ignorance and their tacky choice of headgear.

Vote asks funds for refugee students By VICTOR WONG Students will vote at the end of this month on providing tuition and living expenses for two new refugee students at UBC. The World University Service of Canada is sponsoring a referendum Jan. 30-31 and Feb. 1 to raise Alma Mater Society fees 50 cents. This increase would net $14,000 — enough sponsor university educations for two refugees from the third world. Susan Elrington, vice-president of WUSC at UBC, said other universities have similar programs. "The University of Toronto last year passed a referendum to add four dollars to their student fees to sponsor refugees," she said. "Dalhousie passed a referendum a couple of years ago, and I think theirs was up around seven dollars, but I'm not positive about that. Elrington added some universities have not yet held referendums, but instead choose to sponsor refugees through fund-raising drives. "But that situation is very iffy. There's no guarantee you can support refugees each year on that basis, especially when money gets tight." WUSC defines a refugee as "a person who has fled his or her homeland because of a well- founded fear of being persecuted due to his or her race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion." The refugees who would be sponsored under this program would be academically qualified, possessing a working knowledge of English or French, and in good health, Elrington said. Selections would be made from files in WUSC headquarters in Ottawa, by a local committee. UBC referendums demand 10 per cent quorum, meaning more than 2,000 students must vote yes, and Elrington said reaching quorum is WUSC's most difficulty task. A booth publicizing the referendum is set up in SUB and another booth will be set up in Buchanan lounge the week before the vote, she said. "It seems that apathy's a problem at this campus, and in this case, the program is desperately needed." Elrington added talks will be given to clubs and large classrooms about the referendum, and it will be discussed on CITR radio. Although students were not yet fully aware of the referendum, some were receptive to the idea. "I don't know very much about it, but it's fine with me," said Brian Jones, applied science 3. Wendy Backler, commerce 3, said she had some doubts about the referendum. "It seems like a noble sort of cause, but I'm wondering how the outside community would look at it. They might think we're contradicting ourselves, since we keep talking about how little funding we're getting. But I'd say, sure, go for it." Arrested streakers denied clothing, rights, deserve apology ST. JOHN'S (CUP) — Three individuals who were accosted by Memorial University security for streaking one Saturday night last term deserve an apology, Memorial's student union president says. Ed Byrne said the streakers were picked up by security, handcuffed, and taken to the security office in a van. They were held there for almost an hour, he said. "These individuals were not read their rights. When someone is handcuffed they have to be read their rights," Byrne said. "They were denied clothing, even though (their residence) house president tried three times to get clothes to them. They were forced to sit on a coffee table, naked, for close to an hour, while security made fun of them." Byrne said when the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary arrived, the three were still not read their rights and were again refused cloth ing. Eventually they were released and the house president was permitted to bring them clothes, he added. Byrne said he is demanding a full investigation of the incident and written apologies for the three. The dean of student affairs is "very supportive of these concerns," Byrne said. Protest extends hours The Law library's operating hours have been extended due to demonstration of student need, the Law library head said this week. Thomas Shorthouse said five hours Have been added since November, three on Saturday morning and two on Sunday night. The regained hours will now be funded entirely by UBC, Shorthouse said, adding this is now possible because of a freed work study posir tion. UBC cut library hours at all libraries except Sedgewick this fait to. cope with cutbacks. Three hundred law students held a protest last November demanding more hours and offered to help finance the addition by giving a large bag of coins to the university librarian. In November extra houjfs were jointly funded by the Law Students' Assocation and the law faculty, Shorthouse said. And extended December hours,: for exams «aere partially financed by UBC, he added. ..''-• •'■'■"'' ' sity presidents and their advisors. A universities ministry spokesperson said McGeer would not comment on whether he would introduce reforms to the University Act this year. UBC law professor Tony Hick- ling, who was a member of the senate Universities Act reforms committee, said Thursday he disagrees with McGeer on several points. "I'm not sure the persons best qualified (to make decisions) are the president and his academic advisors. Any president has to take into account the wishes of the university community as reflected in the senate." Hickling said UBC's president is not powerless, but must learn to work within the job's constraints. It is unfair for McGeer to imply the senate will be obstructionist if proposals for cutting programs came up, Hickling said. "Senate does have a responsibility in academic matters." AMS events over budget The Alma Mater Society department which organizes concerts, lectures and other events on campus may not bring any other events to UBC this year, the AMS finance director told student council Wednesday night. James Hollis said the AMS programs department is $21,000 over budget as of Dec. 21. Hollis said this is serious because the AMS cannot legally run a deficit so a programs budget overrun must be made up by funds from other areas. AMS president Margaret Copping said council's ad hoc committee on programs should evaluate the situation and council passed a motion stating that "There be no more program commitments until evaluation is completed and brought to council for consideration." * * * Council passed a motion supporting a Students for a Democratic University petition against senate's course withdrawal policy. Last March senate voted to abolish the "N" grade for students withdrawing from a course after the deadline, replacing it with an "F" or failing grade to be included in the student's record. Senate went against arts faculty recommendations to increase the deadline from two to four weeks. Council deferred a request by CITR, UBC's student radio station, for $75,000 to obtain a high-power FM licence instead of the current 50 watt station. "As it is now, we can reach Granville Street on a good day, if the wind is right," said CITR president Gord Badanic. "A high power licence will allow us to reach as far as Surrey, which could be very important to some people." Considerable discussion at council concerned financial problems students and the university are facing. Donna Chow, student senate caucus chair, said students should be aware UBC programs may be cut and the university has not yet guaranteed students in programs that are cut can finish that program. Dave Frank, student board of governors representative, said UBC may face an $18 million deficit next year if provincial funds are cut five per cent again. Arts representative Barb Waldern said students and council must be more active. "If students don't make some resistance to what's going on — and it's council's responsibility to resist — a passive stand only opens us up to more attacks." Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Friday, January 11, 1985 S. African profiteers boycotted By Canadian University Press in Ottawa Student activism against South African apartheid continues as student councils in Peterborough and Toronto take more jabs at corporations linked to the regime. Trent University student council, which recently gained national publicity for its actions in Maclean's magazine, is pressing the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce for a statement that it will not in the future extend loans to South Africa or to any business dealing in South Africa. Council received a response last month from the CIBC to its opposition to the installation of an instant teller machine on campus. The bank told the council in a letter that it has made no loans to the South African government since 1975. "We would want to know if the bank is willing to issue a public statement to its shareholders that it will not make such loans (to South Africa)," said a Nov. 9 letter to the bank from Thomas Haig, student council international commissioner. Dean expresses surprise From page 1 feet the education faculty is not essential and could be cut entirely. But Birch said he is not alarmed by a motion coming before senate next Wednesday proposing admission to first and second year education be suspended. Birch claimed the proposal is to direct students into arts or sciences before entering education and is not a first step towards cutting the entire faculty. "I would be surprised if that happened," he said. Birch added the university administration has not told him of any proposals to cut his faculty specifically. "Every faculty in the university is obviously under scrutiny," Birch said. "I'm sure education will not escape that scrutiny." LAST CHANCE!!! . . . Back by Popular Demand . . .

But the CIBC's policy does not permit disclosures of its dealings with borrowers except in obedience to legislation, said Christopher Donald, CIBC public relations spokesperson. Meanwhile, the student council at St. Michael's College at the University of Toronto is recommending a boycott of Carling O'Keefe and Rothman's products at the college because profits from their sales go to South Africa. The original council motion, proposed by Greg Donaghy, sought to have council try to break its agreement with Rothman's Craven A, scheduled to sponsor a band for St. Mike's Christmas pub, and also to prohibit the sale of Carling O'Keefe beer and Rothman's cigarettes at the college. The motion that met with council's approval, although watered down, has "a symbolic effect," Donaghy said. "It raises people's consciences about the links between apartheid and Canada," he said. Council member Mike Murphy opposed the motion, saying the student council "shouldn't be involved in world politics." In addition, he claimed that refusing to sell Carling O'Keefe could jeopardize Canadian workers' jobs. Donaghy and Mako Watanabe, another council member, cited the May 1983 report of the Canadian solidarity committee with the South African Congress of Trade Unions, saying black South Africans, 70 per cent of South Africa's population, would not be hurt by the boycott. SACTU said black South Africans who farm the bantustans — barren "homelands" to which they are relegated — and the three million unemployed black South Africans would be unaffected by the boycott. * FREE FITNESS CLASS INTERNATIONAL HOUSE INTERNATIONAL HOUSE Gate 4 Lounge 1783 West Mall 228-5021 Open Jan. 7, '85 12:00-2:00 p.m. Bagels/Cheese, Coffee, Tea (or bring your lunch) Licensed Lounge Open Jan. 7, '85 7:00-11:00 p.m. B/ereW -k> 4/lt&iot \ * War Memorial Gym * * Gym B West Osborne SeSSion: Second Term - Jin 14 - April 3/85 L-Lower Intensity H-Hlgher Intensity B-Body COST: $40 00 — Choose any of the classes lited above as many times a week as you like, any time, any location, any intensity. $ 2.00 — Drop-in per class Registration: Second Term - Jan 2-11 at r Intramural-Recreational Sports (Rm 203).

But nutrit ionists who are looking at the link between diet and cancer say this harmless sounding combinat ion could lead to cancer. While most researchers avoid naming specific foods, they generally agree you should avoid that "ordinary breakfast." "It may seem unlikely, but diet can cause cancer," said Dr. A. V. Rao to the ninth International Congress of Dietetics held in Toronto last summer. Rao said diet is a key source of cancer-preventing as well as cancer-causing agents, making it clear a proper diet can prevent cancer while an imprudent one can increase the risk. food poisoning by botulism. Even today, 70 per cent of pork eventually becomes nitrite laden meat. The presence of cancer causing agents in our food does not mean we will all contract cancer. Many people unknowingly combat it by maintaining a diet high in cancer preventing agents called anti-oxidants. Dr. Ranjana P. Bird of Toronto's Ludwig Institute of Cancer Research makes the distinction between natural anti-oxidants such as vitamins E, A and C, and synthetic ones. By ANTHONY OCANA Reprinted from the Varsity He pointed to a study showing poor diet contributed 35 per cent of preventable cancers, while smoking is estimated to be involved in only 30 per cent of such cancers. Just as cancer development can be divided into stages of initiation and promotion, so can carcinogens be divided into initiators and promoters. For example, a rock chipping a car is an initiator for rust, whereas salt water is a promoter. "We may all be carrying initiated cells," said Dr. Rao, "but that doesn't mean we will all get cancer. Some common initiators are pesticides, fumigants, solvents, radiation and heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury. The second step in carcinogenisis promotion. "While the difference between initiators and promoters is important in the study of disease," said Rao, "the distinction is blurred because many initiators are promoters and vice-versa." "You can find equally emphatic arguments for and against both types of fats," explained Rao. "Saturated fats are suspected of being the culprit in cardiovascular disease, while high intakes of unsaturated fats are a cancer-risk because unsaturated fats are more like to become rancid." Any fatty food can become rancid if exposed to the air long enough, and is characterized by an off-flavour and smell. "Many people don't refrigerate butter because they don't like the hard consistency that results," said Rao. "But butter oxidizes and becomes rancid, increasingly so in warm weather, with time and when exposed to light. Fats are not cancer promoting, but rancid fats are." Rancidity, like the rusting of cars, is the eventual outcome of oxidization (essentially attack by oxygen). In the case of fats, it all begins with what is known as a free radical, which can be formed, for example, by radiation. Once formed, the free radical attacks the fat, then by a chain reaction, the fat itself becomes a free-radical, and so on. If this fat is then ingested, you're not dead yet, but you've increased your risk substantially. According to Dr. Sarma, a biochemist at the University of Toronto, "carcinogenesis does not necessarily proceed at this stage, but it may." In this case, the free radical can attack the nucleus which contains the genetic material DNA. It may do so directly, or indirectly by oxidizing the protective cell membrane. "Once the DNA is attacked, it is changed irreversibly," says Sarma. "Under normal circumstances, the DNA should repair itself before the next round of duplication; if for some reason it does not, it progresses as an abnormal cell. At this point, it can selectively be promoted to cancer." But cancer is by no means simple, he says, and is very slow to manifest itself to humans. Some other known cancer promoters can be found in burnt bread and meats, and in any other smoked products. What makes smoked foods a hazard is the chemical they are treated with to preserve them. Nitrites are found in salamis, pastramis, smoked meats, hot dogs, bacon and canned meats. They give prepared meats their rosy colour and unique flavour while fighting microbacteria. In combination with certain proteins in the acid medium of the stomach, nitrites form compounds called "nitrosamines." The nitrosamines are also found in cigarette smoke and are known to be potent cancer causing agents in humans. In fact, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported on Sept. 17 that the American Meat Institute wants to voluntarily reduce the amount of nitrites in bacon by one-sixth. In 1978, there was pressure in both Canada and the U.S. to ban the use of nitrites. They have not been banned, but not because they are any less dangerous. The threat of cancer must be balanced with the equally unappealling possibility of "While the synthetic anti-oxidants can prevent chemically induced cancer," says Bird, "they don't achieve this by preventing oxidation per se, but rather by accelerating the body's ability to break down and excrete carcinogens. They do this by acting like a vaccine. Because they themselves are cyclic compounds, they prepare the liver for future exposure, therefore increasing the body's detoxification process." Natural anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C work as free radical scavengers. Because the oxidized state of Vitamin C (dehydro-ascorbic acid) is harmless or even beneficial, it allows itself to become oxidized thus protecting the fats. This is analogous to a baseball player who sacrifice-hits in order to advance one of his teammates. Bird says that according to studies done, Vitamin E is more likely to provide cancer defence by supporting the immune system than by any effect on free radicals, whereas Vitamin C may be doing both. Synthetic anti-oxidants such as Butylated Hydroxy Anisole and Toluene are usually used on packaging materials such as the linings of cereal boxes. But because BHA and BHT are cyclic, they can be carcinogenic if taken in large doses and, as the theory goes, any compound that causes cancer when taken in large doses can also cause cancer if administered in small does over a prolonged time. "Because there are no carriers in the body for BHA and BHT, they accumulate in the cell," says Sarma. "Since the cell has not evolved to accommodate these chemicals, it (the cell) gets sick because they (the chemicals) foul up the system. This doesn't happen with natural anti-oxidants because evolution has provided transport mechanisms for vitamins which limit their ability to stick around." "That's why you can take a lot of vitamin E and it won't do you any good, "but a comparable amount of BHT can kill you." Rao says he is currently doing research on the anti- carcinogenic properties of plant components called saponins. Another plant component, fibre, is also supposed to offer some protection against cancer of the colon, mainly by speeding the passage of food through the intestines and allowing less time for possible carcinogens to act on the colon. Most researchers agree that short of eliminating all carcinogenic exposure, which is virtually impossible, the best way to bolster the body's anti-cancer mechanisms is to improve the diet. But old habits die hard. Ironically, a recent discussion on nutrition at the U of T began with the serving of cookies, beer and coffee. Similarly, we know smoking causes cancer but somehow that is not a great deterrent. Although Rao was reluctant while addressing the nutritionist conference to mention any specific foods to be avoided, he did admit later that, "Food by its very nature is good, but some foods are better than others." "While visible fats such as those around meat should be minimized, so should invisible fats such as those carefully hidden in processed salad dressings, spreads and sauces," Rao says. Fat — containing foods such as milk, cheese and yoghurt should not be avoided since they are good sources of anti-oxidants and other nutrients. Rao also suggests eating more foods containing vitamins A, C, E, and dietary fibre and decreasing the intake of unrefrigerated butter, cooking fat with an off-smell and cured meats containing nitrites. But bacon lovers take heart. Better preserving techniques in the last few years have allowed a 25 per cent decrease in the amount of nitrates used to cure bacon. Also, Rao points out, a single glass of orange juice can render nitosamines inactive, making a strong case for the saying, "A day without anti-oxidants is like a day without sunshine." Page 6 THE UBYSSEY Friday, January 11, 1985 Stand up The university must tread softly in the next few months as it awaits word on the provincial budget, sets tuition fees, and yes, cuts programs. For there is a disturbing new twist to all of this: students. What to do with all those students enrolled in all those programs that may be cut. The last time the university decided to abolish a program, last spring, the relatively small and obscure special education program, it decided not only to close off new admissions but to tell special ed students in all but their last year that they had better find something else. The students only heard about this on the radio. Needless to say the special ed students weren't pleased. They fought back, using the media, and won the right to finish their degrees in the field of their choice. The issue is sneaking up again, fast. Just before the holidays, when presumably everyone isn't as alert as could be, the senate budget committee recommended to the president's office that there be no guarantee UBC students entering a program can complete that same program. Our vice president academic, Robert Smith, sees nothing wrong with that idea, and our president, George Pedersen, just can't make up his mind yet. Somehow this seems like the kind of moral thing you feel in your gut. It's not something you can't make up your mind about. Maybe the president is playing a little poker with the government — sure, that's what he's doing. He's playing real careful until word comes on UBC's next grant. That's why now is a crucial time for students, especially those in their first two years of study, to show senate and the president they'd like to finish the degree of their choice. Sure, cut off enrolment if you have to. That's bad enough. But can you imagine switching your major halfway through? What if that's what you really want to study? So maybe you'll have to go to school somewhere else and maybe they won't take all your credits and maybe you'll have to leave B.C. But does UBC have the right to do this to you? UBC has a moral obligation to allow students enrolled in programs to complete them. There is little reason for new students to come to UBC if they don't even know their program will be there next September. UBC's reputation would decline. The program listing in calendar would be hollow. New disclaimers would run under every program saying, "May be vaporized on whim." Look out in the next few months. Your program may be gone and you with it. Fight back. THE UBYSSEY January 11, 1985 The Ubyssey is published Tuesday and Fridays throughout the academic year by the Alma Mater Society of the University of British Columbia.

Robert Beynon said his childhood was emphasized by learning table man ners to the extent of bringing one's food to one's mouth. Victor Wong still has a hat fettsh and lines to play catch in the bedroom with Chris Wong who shaves regularly with an electric shaver "I like Grace, t mean Chris," said Lebbie Do Achte. "I don't get it," she added, saying Betsy Goldberg and Renate Boerner wanted to watch Chris shave but Rory Allen fmaiiy realized who Grace really is and called Yaku for a quickie explanation and got a drawing instead while Dave Magowan smoked without a care for any issue. Roman was not consulted and Patti Flather smiling knowingly as Cm, Hie F del man said. "We have strange people working on the Ubyshits Letters Destroying forests means destroying jobs Mac-Bio and B.C. Forest Products should use the logs they're advertising for sale in the papers every day to supply their mills during the winter. And the logs all those other companies advertise for sale deteriorating in every estuary in B.C., before they cut Meares Island. And Moresby, and the Stikine. They should stop all this overcut- ting first. They should stop the waste first. They should use the tons of wood they now burn or leave (because it's not A-l timber) in the wastelands that used to be forests, before we allow them to cut any more first growth trees. (Since when is A-l timber needed for pulp of particle board?) The logging companies should get busy reforesting the one hundred million acres they've cut and not reforested. With some of the billions in income from continuing record production. Last year the forests yielded more lumber, pulp, shakes and shingles than any year before that. Then why is there 30 per cent unemployment in B.C.'s number one industry? Where is the money going? Into putting people out of work by the thousands, with excessive automation: for all their mills, their offices and the woods operations as well. The money is going into expansion, diversification into other industries, and foreign investment. As well as keeping up their profit margins and dividends. They're not investing big in reforestation. They tell us the province is making millions from their operations. But we're paying far more to subsidize them. With tax write-offs, by paying road-building, booming and all log transport costs through the stumpage appraisal system, and by providing other infrastructures. In B.C., logging is a cost-plus industry. No one knows what a complete cost-benefit analysis would look like. Are we going to pay them to take every last stick, and then the last of the moneybags, and mover out? Leaving us with the wastelands? In the 1984 budget this government gave all the accumulated stumpage in the Resource Renewal Fund to B.C. Rail. In view of the reforestation crisis, this is an astonishing finale to decades of gross mismanagement and giveaways of the forest resource. It looks like they're planning for no more trees. Government and industry economists should count the number of permanent jobs they are destroying in local economies, in exchange for short-term jobs — in neighbouring economies. They should compute the value of the last of the fish runs they're destroying, and the jobs that go with them, and the other parts of a local economic base. Including the last of the natural forests and wilderness that people come from all over the world to ex perience. (Replanted wastelands are never more than same-size same- kind tree farms, nothing like the original forests — which are the ever more needed balm for the soul.) Healthy local economies make up a healthy provincial economy. They — and we — should count the costs of even more agonizing economic dislocation tomorrow, if we keep going the way we are. Yes, there is the question of losing — or replacing — some of the jobs that still exist in logging today. That question will still be there, and more so, when we've cut all the trees, and haven't planted any to speak of. What will the unions do then? What will we do then? Why not do it now? H. Bechler, Box 65381, Station F Eugene predicts the end of the world but claims we need not worry at all Many people — some whom We talked to over the phone — were concerned over Armageddon. They honestly believe the world will come to an end in this century. Then the tares will be separated from the wheat. There will be joy over the world as some believe they will see Jesus. I reiterate: Jesus is already here! This is His second coming. My Father says I am He — reincarnated. As in Scripture: Only the Father knows who the Son is. Also only the Son knows who the Father is and He to whomsoever He will reveal Him. As for the end of the world, as seen by Clergymen and Theologians, My Father says this is hypothetical. The only possible way for the end is if evil will be domineering over good. Only the Father in Heaven knows when Armageddon will take place. People are all interlinked by GOD'S Light because they are all born of the same basic substance — namely the Spirit, Water and Blood. So we see that this human chain of Light can be destroyed with a deafening, thunderous roar! This destruction and havoc is similar to the Neutron Bomb — people are killed but the buildings are left standing. As long as GOD is Alive, there will always be Light. GOD'S Light is infinite, it can never lose its potency nor can it be destroyed. We shall term the preceding plan for destruction, phase one. Phase two is more destructive. We know the universe is composed of GOD'S building blocks, namely molecules and atoms with its protons, neutrons and electrons. In an open letter to Lucifer, is My Father's favorite phrase, "Lucifer: On the day you inherit My Throne, all of Heaven and hell will be engulfed in the fury of the atmosphere!" Just as man can split the atom, GOD can turn the universe into a molten, mass of destruction, with the same fury man has devised to kill each other. So the end can be near or far, depending on the populous. My Father, GOD, helped Me with this Treatise. None can speak as eloquently as My Father. We now bid you a fond anon.

Friday, January 11, 1985 THE UBYSSEY Page 7 AMS slow on daycare Since it is the season for student elections and since elections are supposed to be about accountability, it might be of interest to your readers to glance at the following chronology. As I am a candidate for the senate and as this account might be construed as giving me an unfair advantage, I am willing to have it published anonymously or, conversely, to give up my right to an election statement. Jan. 28, 1981 — Alma Mater Society council notes the lack of affordable and adequate daycare; Jan. 6, 1982 — council adopts a proposal to hold a referendum on the construction of various capital projects; Feb. 26, 1982 — a report to Council suggests that existing daycare facilities on campus are hazardous; Sept. 17, 1982 — council is told that daycare facilities face a crisis — unless action is taken they may be closed down in December; Sept. 21, 1982 — Details as to the capital projects referendum are released. Students are to be asked to rank order a list of projects including daycare which will, in the words of D. Frank, "bind future councils to the specific areas on which to spend money." M. Copping criticizes the wording as "too vague" giving future councils "carte blanche"; Nov. 2, 1982 — Council is told that the daycare deadline is only in relation to the repayment of a debt owed to the university; Nov. 23, 1982 — A record turnout of voters overwhelmingly approves the fee levy and list housing and daycare as the first two priorities; Feb. 1983 — Council establishes CPA committee to plan and supervise the allocation of the funds generated by the fee levy; Sept. 16, 1983 — Committee member S. Howick resigns charging that the committee is "acting undemocratically by ignoring the priorities of last November's referendum." D. Frank defends the committee's decision to purchase land for the Whistler ski cabin; Oct. 13, 1983 — Howick resigns from council citing its preoccupation with the Whistler ski cabin and SUB renovations; Nov. 4, 1983 — Committee member D. Holubitsky assumes responsibility for daycare and relinquishes responsibility for the ski cabin. He requests that the administration establish a committee on daycare; Nov. 25, 1983 — SUB renovations are approved; Nov. 29, 1983 — Dr. Risebrough assumes responsibility for the president's committee on daycare and D. Holubitsky is appointed to it; Dec. 2, 1983 — Letter to the editor criticizing the lack of action on daycare; Jan. 6, 1984 — D.

On Jan. 20, another writer criticizes the cost. A barrage of letters attempting to refute these claims ensues. Jan. 13, 1984 — D. Holubitsky is elected to the board of governors. Feb./Mar. 1984 — P. Bennett is appointed to the AMS representative to the president's daycare committee. He indicates his desire to develop a daycare facility in the Graduate Student Centre. Later, he complains privately that the committee has not contacted him and that it doesn't seem to function. March 16, 1984— D. Holubitsky indicates in a letter that some daycare facilities should be in operation by the end of the summer; March 30, 1984 — Letter from P. O'Brien suggesting that campus daycare costs are inflated and that in-home daycare is the solution; Sept. 17, 1984 — CPAC report indicates that per unit cost will be $465,000. Sept. 26, 1984 — Letter from P. O'Brien to council, copy to D. Holubitsky, thanking it for its support and requesting formal AMS support for the licensing of in-home daycare on campus; Sept. 21 — D. Frank indicates that the committee decided to go ahead with SUB renovations first in order to generate funds for daycare; Oct. 5, 1984 — D. MacLean, in rejecting D. Frank's appeal for the university to commit itself to daycare, said "... a system to finance daycare's maintenance is required and the board must consider its priorities before it allows the committee to attract off-campus funding. 'If we get $100,000 for this project we probably won't get that $100,000 for another project.' " Nov. 2, 1984 — Council approves $350,000 for daycare construction. Nov. 6, 1984 — Article indicates that "... government cutbacks in daycare subsidies mean that single mothers must often choose between going to school and ensuring that their children are well looked after." Dec. 7, 1984 — D. Holubitsky foresees a projected budget of $800,000 for daycare and expresses confidence that the AMS contribution of $350,000 will facilitate the solicitation of the remaining portion "so . . . that construction of the daycare could be completed over the summer."

Page 8 THE UBYSSEY Friday, January 11, 1985 'Visit Africa' (CUP) — A brochure that McGill University has sent to all its graduates advertising a tour of South Africa is offensive, some McGill professors and students say. "Today, safari excitement is only part of what South Africa has to offer you," the brochure says. "This out of the ordinary tour will help you explore the mystery, the variety, the rare beauty of coastal White Africa." The brochure is illustrated by a white hand above a pile of diamonds, holding one diamond in a pair of tweezers. McGill history professor Myron Echenberg said the tour is in bad taste. "I would hope that people won't participate in this," Echenberg said. The brochure continues, "stroll the sunkissed beaches of Durban, fringed with palm trees and exotic growth. Nearby is Zululand, the tribal homeland of South Africa's Zulus. Don't forget your camera!" McGill's graduate society, which approved the writing in the brochure, said the pamphlet was writ ten by a professional writer. "It's very unfeeling and insensitive to say, "Well, we just used professional tourist language," Echenberg said. "The brochure describes this entirely as a pleasure trip. It's a frivolous kind of trip at a time of great repression in South Africa." Echenberg said tourist visits to South Africa are exactly what the country's apartheid government wants. "The regime uses the visit to let you see the South Africa they want you to see," he said. Several years ago, McGill's board of governors created a committee on social and moral responsibility to look into the school's stock in companies which deal with South Africa. The committee recommended divestment from two companies. Several McGill students now think McGill is contradicting this policy by promoting a tour which, they say, only white McGill students should go on. The South African consulate said blacks can now go on tours and stay with whites, as long as they stay in international hotels.

The Grey Box was so nicknamed because of its oblong, recjangjjrar shape and dull-silver color.

Urrfortunatefy the Grey Box Wed as its main power souree,?a greyhoohd; died after biting Mr. Wroncj, By TERRI HUNTER In the summer UBC library purchased a book called The Haj by Leon Uris. The Haj purports to be historically accurate fiction on life in a Palestinian Arab village. We see its inhabitants coming to terms with mounting Jewish immigration and the resulting loss of their homes after the state of Israel is established in 1948. When the book came out it was immediately attacked by USA Today, The L.A. Herald Examiner, The New York Times, Publisher's Weekly, The Dallas Times Herald, The Washington Post Book World and even the Calgary Herald, as racist hate literature. the oldest cultures known. After World War I the country was certainly impoverished. But it was still a place of towns and villages, where the towns served as educational, medical, commercial and social focal points for the surrounding villages. The classical peasant society. Uris' Palestine is a different place. His cardboard characters all speak perfect and identical grade six level English. This is quite an accomplishment for them, as they are otherwise at a pre-Neanderthal level of brutish ignorance. His Palestinians are uniformly primitive, vicious, and disgusting. They and their religion are without a single perspectives UBC and most B.C. bookstores and libraries still offer the book. Uris, like Mitchener and Clavell, is one of a crop of mega-pages and mega-bucks writers turning . out adventure novels that drown you in a wealth of cultural detail. But this time Uris blew it. Characters in fiction are individuals responding to their environment, revealing human fraility and greatness. Mitchener and Clavell write about these real people — people struggling against themselves and the world. We expect as readers to be spun a catchy tale where the author's underlying theme is revealed by the way the characters overcome or succumb to, adversity. Don't expect any of this in The Haj. It's badly written and would never pass the English Composition test. And it's incredibly boring. And despite claims of "in depth" research it's massively inaccurate on the nature of peasant society, Palestinian history, and Islamic religion. Uris seems to forget he is talking of the Fertile Crescent, and one of redeeming quality, referring to themselves at one point as "accursed among all living creatures." Some other samples: "We (Arabs) do not have leave to love one another . . . Hate is our overpowering legacy ... we have you the latest horrors from Iran' school of sensational journalism. Again the stereotyping is outrageous, especially when applied to rural Palestine of 40 years ago. Did I give you the impression there were no good guys in this book? The Jewish settlers are portrayed as wonderfully squeaky clean, rigorously moral and a constant Messiah-like revelation to the subhuman Arabs. The Jewish settlers go about sprinkling fairy dust — opening Arab eyes to the superiority of the Jewish mind and western material culture — with pristine abandonment. Hate literature is writing that projects a one-sided negative view, vilifying people on ethnic, moral, racial, or religious grounds. It changes history to prove its point. It is writing in which characters are not real people — only vehicles for the author to mouth prejudices. It is usually bad writing, where the author is so eager to hit us again and again with a point of view that the theme is all we see. And when that theme suggests we destroy or fear a whole group of people, a book is hate literature. SDBB "The Haj purports to be historically accurate fiction. . ." regenerated ourselves by hatred from decade to decade, generation to generation . . . The devil who makes us crazy is now devouring us . . . We are a people living in hate, despair, and darkness . . . We Arabs are the worst ... we have contributed nothing to human betterment in centuries." Page alter page we are shown the lazy, degenerate Arab, so beloved of western stereotypes, brought down to new lows by Mr. Uris' pen. His views of Islam seems to come from a sort of 'nightly news brings But Uris goes further. The silliest representative of Jewish/Western superiority is a blond-haired, blue- eyed Jewish man — ravishingly handsome, natch — who out of pity meets Arab women in a cave to give them the only good sex they'll ever know in their otherwise miserable lives. And now we're back to censorship on sexual grounds again. Any prudish parents out there? Terri Hunter is a student who dislikes racism.

I wish the provincial government had been taught the same thing. Hundreds of university students who were promised B.C. loan guarantees to augment federal loans are now being told "too bad" by Vic toria, where bureaucrats are desperately seeking any excuse to disqualify people and renege on their promises to aid. This throws off many, many students' financial planning, which was based on good faith in the pro vincial government. Now, it seems, only the wealthy students can afford a university education. Those who must work part-time or in the summers are in a double bind: the time devoted to work takes away from their ability to study, but the loans are based on a full course load Almighty Changey speaks one more time Love can be divided into a multitude of sins, but real Love comes when the sin does not alter affection. Love can drown out woes, and let the devoted partner cancel inverted chaos — to let Love blossom into Cherished Love. Love can adorn the mates, who try to beguile passion for the Fruits of Fertility. Love can blossom into gorgeous aspects of Devotion, between Lovers and their Creator. Only God can test True Love, and the shadow of Hope is diminished, with the Love of Hope from an incandescent sinner. Love can blossom the year around and not die in the Winter — or as soon as the leaves begin to fall U.B.C.

Love between the Creator and mankind can be Cherished forever and bloom long after the Spirit has left a diminished Body. As Almighty God, I bid you a fond Anon, as only My Son will sing His precious Name to enhance Love.

That's ironic, because the original intent of the loan program was to give less affluent students a chance to further themselves and society. Now, even with both the federal and provincial loans, the maximum available is simply not enough to sustain a year's study. (Of course, even getting a job in these depressed times is no piece of cake for a university student.) So, once again, we see the poor being shafted, and the principle of universality ignored. The rich can always look after the needs of their sons and daughters, but ordinary kids have to fend for themselves under circumstances that don't allow them to achieve the necessary loan standards. Yet this same government says that "hard work" will pay off. It would be nice if they put their money where their mouths are — and kept their promises. Joseph A.
