Dead teett Dental records prove conclusively

that Adolph Hitler and Martin Bor- mann are dead, a world famous forensic dentist said Friday.

“ I was responsible for the ante- mortem dental work done on Bor- mann,” said Reidar Sognnaes, former dentistry dean at the Univer- sity of California at Los Angeles. “I got permission to examine some skeletal remains in 1972, and I com- pa red t hese r ema ins w i t h Bormann’s medical records.”

He said the examination convinc- ed him the remains were those of Bormann. “While for positive iden- tification by fingerprints only 12 concordant (matching) points are required, I found 16 concordant points when I made the dental ex- amination on Bormann’s remains.”

“1 have also made dental inden- tification of Hitler’s remains,” Sognnaes said. “There I found 26 concordant points.”

He dismissed the many reported sightings of Bormann in Argentina, alive and well. “Recognition is not identification,” Sognnaes said. “I have been to Argentina myself, and I have seen several men who very closely resemble Bormann. We need reliable evidence to make an iden- tification, and in absence of finger- prints dental records provide fine evidence.”

Sognnaes expressed interest in the

From page 1 Quebec could more easily push through effective constitutional change i f Quebec opted out of con- federation.

He said in past constitutional conferences Quebec has blocked all moderate changes, many of which could have positively benefitted other provinces.

“Quebec has traditionally been in the way of constitutional change beneficial for the English Canadian partners.”

He said the upcoming referen- dum on sovereignty association will provide Quebecers with . political power.

Godin said the wording on the referendum ballot will be strong enough to give the PQ a mandate for the establishment of sovereignty association.

D i s c o v e r y Park Inc.

By Geof Wheelwright

Selling prime campus parkland at rates too low for industry

throughout *B.C to ignore Plans for the establishment of

ive industrial research parks in LC. are going full steam ahead, lespite objections to the lack of lublic input on the project.

E d u c a t i o n , s c i e n c e a n d echnology minister Pat McGeer nnounced Friday the creation of he Discovery Foundation to lversee the construction and ealization of the “discovery” Narks and donated $3 million in lrovincial government funds to et the project started.

But NDP MLAs Emery Barnes nd Alex MacDonald say the pro- :ct was never discussed in the rovincial legislature, and the ublic had no chance to state their iews on the plan.

“This is cabinet government. Cnnett doesn’t believe in the :gislature. It’s typical of their ontempt for democratic pro- edure,” said MacDonald. He said the government never

~troduced the plan to the :gislature and “railroaded” it ]rough the cabinet. And Barnes said he had not

eard of the plan, nor realized its :ope or cost until the Science Day 1st Friday when McGeer released le names of the Discovery Foun- ation trustees and unveiled the etails of the research park :heme. “This is a major departure. It

n’t a regular method for further- hg high technology. It may be an vcellent idea, but we haven’t had ny input yet.” But Don Larsen, managing

irector of Discovery Parks Inc., lid the $3 million grant for the roject came out of a $5 million lrplus which the legislature ated for use by science and xhnology earlier this year. Larsen confirmed that the

loney for the plan was only ap- roved at the cabinet level and bid the government had just “not msidered” getting any public or gislative input on the proposal. Larsen says he would consider

aving meetings with both student *oups and members of the ublic, but says the university lould actually take the respon- bility for student input. And McGeer says student opi-

ion is entirely a private matter etween the universities and the udents. And university ad- linistrations should settle it lemselves, he added. Both UBC’s Alma Mater Socie-

1 and the Simon Fraser Student xiety have passed motions con- :mning the lack of student input Ito the establishment of the uks, currently. slated for SFU, BC, the British Columbia In- itute of Technology and the In- itute of Ocean Sciences on Van- nwer Island. In a leaflet distributed at Fri-

3y’s ceremony at Robson square, le SFSS stated: “This project is :ing implemented during a xiod when SFU is suffering bvere and mounting cutbacks as a ,suit of decline in funding. At the [me time, this money saved rough decreased funding is go- g directly into the subsidization r corporate and research profits.

“There has been no consulta- tion with the university communi- ty or the public with any of the p roposa l s su r round ing t h i s development. On Sept. 20 a ‘forum’ was held on campus on this topic -the research park was presented as a fait accompli, none of the concerns expressed by students were properly addressed or dealt with.”

AMS external affairs officer Valgeet Johl says she hopes to discuss the issue with the universi- ty administration and has already written a letter to them expressing student dissatisfaction with cur- rent research park plans.

But UBC vice-president Erich Vogt said he thinks students had their say on the research park at a senate meeting two weeks ago when plans for the UBC park were unexpectedly announced.

“I’m not at all sure student in- put is appropriate. We’ve heard the students’ viewpoint - senate discussed the issue,” said Vogt.

But Vogt said he did not rule out student input at the board of governors level, and Johl said stu- dent board members Bruce Arm- strong and Glenn Wong will discuss the student viewpoint at today’s board meeting.

Johl added she was unhappy with the board of trustees named to the Discovery foundation.

They include McGeer, the presidents of UBC, Simon Fraser, University of Victoria, the dean of continuing education at the B.C. Institute of Technology and five representatives from private in-

The industry representatives, some of whose companies are ex- pected to make use of the research park, include Anatek Electronics president and UBC board member Allan Crawford, Cominco Ltd A

president Gerald Hobbs, Crown Zellerback president Tom Rust, Teck Corporation president Nor- man Keevil Jr. and John Mac- Donald. Dresident of MacDonald.

“Quite clearly, it’s clear that as a trustee 1’11 declare my interests and refrain from voting on that. If you find yourself in a conflict of interest situation, you refrain from voting on that,” he said.

But Johl said she is not totally convinced of Crawford’s motives for being on the board and ques- tions whether his abstentions will . .

Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. make it objective.

Vogt said student input on

the research park is now inappropriate

Anatek manager Doug Smeaton told The Ubyssey last week his company will be interested in entering the UBC research park if it can get favorable terms.

At that time, Anatek president Crawford was caught in a possible conflict of interest situation bet- ween his position on UBC’s board and his Anatek ownership.

Now Crawford will have input in the affairs of all five research parks. But he said Friday he will abstain from voting on all issues pertaining to Anatek’s presence at UBC or elsewhere.

“Everything seems to be taking place in the backrooms, so whether or not he abstains doesn’t matter - he still has influence,” she said.

And Discovery Parks Inc., director Larsen said although other industrial members of the board of trustees have not yet ex- pressed an interest in putting their companies in the park, there is nothing preventing them from do- ing so.

“If an individual has a conflict on a particular issue, then they

will abstain. They’re not in then for their own benefit - there’s : potential conflict in anything yo1 do.”

M c G e e r s a i d i n d u s t r i a members of the board are al business entrepreneurs, whom hc hopes can turn a profit for tht Discovery Foundation preparing park sites and buildings.

He said any profits made by the foundation will be distributec among the institutions who own the research parks and the Science Council of B.C.

McGeer said research work ac the parks will offer students an eventually unlimited opportunity to work in their research field.

“Employment growth has been nine times as fast (as regular in- dustry) in high technology because there is no upper limit to human ingenuity.”

McGeer said the availability of industrial research will result in higher academic programs and in- crease the interaction between students and commercial firms.

He said most of the university’s benefits will not come from leas- ing the land the park stands on, but from whatever donations the companies make and hidden “non-financial benefits.”

“Universities won’t get their benefits from the leases - the terms of the lease will be the least important part if they’re a suc- cess. They get the overwhelming majority of benefits from in- dustries who want to share their success,” said McGeer.

'I now proclaim' Education minister Pat McGeer handed down

a provincial proclamation Friday. A proclamation that tells universities they

must opera te for the profit of industry in hopes tha t companies will take pity on t h e m and throw a crumb of corporate cake their way.

A proclamation that tells universities that money made from the development of their land as a industrial research site will be handled by McGeer's latest brainchild, the Discovery Foun- dation - w h o in their kindness and wisdom will give some of the profits to the peasant universi- ty.

And a proclamation which puts the barons of B.C. industry in the posit ion to find c h e a p research sites for their own companies in t h e name of national high technology development.

Wha t does he t ake us for? S tuden t s were given no input whatsoever into

plans for the es tabl ishment of the park, while nearby Point Grey residents - w h o elected McGeer - were not even asked how the park would affect them.

And after the plans are made, the architectural models built, and t h e grand unveiling over, Discovery Parks Inc.'s Don Larsen coyly asks t h e public if they have anything to say abou t it, although he thinks students should talk to their administration.

And yesterday Larsen revealed t h a t t h e multi- million dollar plan has not even been discussed a t the highest level of government in the province because t h e m o n e y to start it had been approved in a blanket $5 million grant to sc ience and technology from a Socred "surplus".

This surplus, carved o u t of the educat ion and heal th care cutbacks wrought on the province by t h e Bill Bennett brigade, was ordered by the Socred cabinet to fund McGeer's dream plan for B.C.'s universities.

Unfortunately, McGeer's dream has turned o u t t o be a nightmare for students , the publ ic and the university.

S w e e t dreams.

They eat, they drink For those of u s who wonder what the un ivers i -

ty does with its multi-million-dollar budget, the annual financial report is quite an eyeopener.

You would think local businesses would look on s tuden t s in a kindly way a f te r the amount of money the university pumps into their tills.

But just try going to the Bayshore Inn and tell- ing them you ' re a UBC student.

"But the university's honored guests stay here," you say. "Aren't I entit led to some kind of deal?"

Guess again. Even J o h n n y o n t h e S p o t toilet rentals would

probably ask you for a deposit of some sort before letting you drive the po t ty off t h e lot.

And if bills from B.C. P.rtificial Insemination Centre, Ideas Unlimited and Bliss Industries ar- rived in your mailbox at t h e same time, your landlord would likely fix you with a s tony gaze.

But the university is its own landlord and these bills are simply paid without question and forgot- ten. After all, what those professors do in their spa re time is their own business, right?

There are likely simple and logical explanations for all of the line items in the university's financial statement. Dial-A-Bottle was likely called in to cater a late-night poker party. Playhouse Magazine is probably an incorrect reference to Playboard, the magazine published by the Van- couver Playhouse.

And who could live without Fuller brushes? The university 's guests who stayed at the Har-

rison Hotel must have had a long walk to t h e campus each morning to conduct their business.

B u t let's not nit-pick. The university administrators are just like

everybody else. They eat, drink and shit just like us c o m m o n folk.

The decision to close the account was made in response to a call by the National Campaign to Stop

Bank Loans to South Africa laun- ched by CUSO, Oxfam, the Cana- dian Labor Congress, the Task force of the Churches and Cor- porate Responsibility representing all major Canadian Churches, Southern Africa support groups and others. The bank campaign was in part a reaction to the shooting down of hundreds of unarmed African students by South African police at Soweto in June 1976.

In the U.S., university students are waging a campaign for total disinvestment from companies operating in or dealing with South Africa, on the grounds that they are supporting a racist government.

The Bank of Montreal has been particularly adamant in maintaining its policy of loans to South Africa and the bank's president, Fred H. McNeil, at the bank's annual general meeting in 1978 advised Church representatives that to stop the loans "would not be morally defensible or morally consistent." According to Corporate Date Ex- change Inc. (Nov. 27/78) the Bank of Montreal has extended credit to the value of $50 million to the South African government from 1972 to 1977 and $35 million to South Africa's Electricity Supply Commission (ESCOM) from 1974 to 1982.

Perhaps Mr. Clark, the manager, will show AMs the bank's books to prove his allegations.

There was a time when university students were in the forefront of movements to redress injustice or oppose oppression. It augurs poorly for their future leadership if they are now willing to go back on their fine stand on the South African bank-loan issue.

To reinstate the AMS account would be a most retrogressive step and one which can only be inter- preted as giving comfort and sup- port to the apartheid regime in its policy of total denial of political rights to South Africa's overwhelm- ing black majority. It will surely be so regarded by Africans and black people in Canada. It is to be hoped that African students at UBC will oppose this move.

As for the BothaIVorster regime, which has an unfailing way of get- ting to know such news, it will be hailed as yet another defeat by "right-thinking people" ovel "hosti le, anti-South African forces. "

Quasi lunchbreak bites into cars

Is your car safe from breaking' and entry? I thought mine was. Whether he/she knows it or not, one of the staff and faculty members had his/her car broken in- to on Sept. 20 at lunch hour.

I was sitting outside McMillan lounge when a campus cowboy pull- ed over and took out his pen and pad. This was no unusual sight, for officer Brown (his signature on the ticket) must give out dozens of tickets a day. But, he took something out of his pocket and unlocked the driver's side door with it. Needless to say, this shocked me. He then opened the door and

scraped off a parking sticker from the windshield, (probably last year's). He was nice enough to lock the door again, so the car won't be looted, then left a violation ticket under the windshield wiper before leaving.

Do the campus cowboys have the authority to enter any car they want at any time? They could have been in your and my cars at anytime without our knowing it. Do you feel safe about leaving your car out there? I don't.

Green keyed off at Brown bullshit

Early Sept. 20 while behind McMillan, I happened to notice one of our local cowboys writing some citizen a ticket. Not a strange sight, but, after writing the ticket, he then proceeded to whip out some keys and gained entry to the car in ques- tion, seemingly to remove some sticker.

Now, does patrol officer Brown (the name on the ticket, his 23rd written that day) have, through the

security department, the legal authorization to gain entry to a private automobile without the owner's permission?

Socialism isn’t creepy ~~~

When I first read Bill Bertram’s “PetroCan is for Pinkos” letter in the Sept. 28 Ubyssey, I honestly suspected it to be a joke. A very bad joke. But just in case Bertram’s comments were intended to be of a serious nature I feel compelled to set this poor man straight.

Bertram is upset with the Cana- dian government’s role (via P e t r o c a n ) in t h i s n a t i o n ’ s petroleum industry. “The function of the state,” he bleats plaintively, “is to govern, to preserve order and to guarantee our liberties.” Does freedom from the yoke of economic oppression not fall within these boundaries? Is it not the duty of our government to guarantee us the right to own and prosper from the wealth of our own land? Surely, any reasonable citizen or legislator would agree.

Canada is fortunate to be endow- ed with a veritable horn of plenty of petroleum wealth. The decisions concerning its extraction and allocation should be made only by Canadians and in such a way that every single citizen will have an equal chance to enjoy any resulting prosperity. It is true that the shares of a private company may be bought on the open market, the buyer then owning a portion of the company, but unless every citizen is of equal economic means, there can be no assurance of equality in this endeavor. Public ownership of Petrocan grants us equality of ownership.

Bertram seems to display a mechanistic fascination with “effi- ciency,” and yea, implies that it contains innate goodness and light. Is it solely upon its efficiency that one should judge a nation’s policy? If this be so, then one must rest assured that a parliamentary democracy is entirely out of place as the Canadian system of govern- ment. By such a rationale, an ab- solute dictatorship would surely be the best form of rule. We must

realize that a parliamentary democracy is by nature a slow and innefficient system, and may we be thankful that raw efficiency is not our yardstick of success.

There are numerous threats to democracies the world over, and not the littlest of them is the mushrooming power and influence of the multinational corporation. Already, the “Seven Sisters” (the wor ld’s seven la rges t oil companies), wield such economic power that they infringe upon and threaten to transcend the workings of the state. The PetroCan issue is not one of government meddling in the affairs of industry, but of in- dustry attempting to usurp the duty of the state. While (by definition) the state is composed of, and (through the medium of elected representation) answerable to the citizenry, the corporation’s sole reason for existence is to make a profit for its shareholders.

It is obvious, then, that a g o v e r n m e n t - r u n c o r p o r a t i o n achieves the attainable best of both worlds.

Furthermore, it is amusing that Bertram criticizes this concept as a “doctrinaire and ideological solu- tion . . .,” for his own literary style reeks of the dogmatic pedanticism of the most fervent of idealogues. In- deed, his babble about the “. . . great driving forces of the economic process,” laughably smacks of an

equally monotonous tract entitled, (dare I say it) The Communist Man- nifesto. Yes, dated and irrational opinion gushed with equal ferocity from the far right as well as from the far left.

Government involvement in the economy is a political fact of life in virtually every Western democracy. Canada is by no means an exception to this, and PetroCan stands as one of the many living examples. The creation of PetroCan was a deliberate and concerted step taken by far sighted Canadian legislators. A move in the general direction of socialism this may well be, but it is by no means a “creeping” motion, or sliding, or crawling, or running, for that matter. Such terminology evokes the notion of an unclean, slithering or otherwise thoroughly d i s t a s t e fu l mons te r t ha t i s relentlessly devouring the righteous armies of Free Enterprise. These lies are the stuff of demagogues.

Unless Bertram is willing to discuss his opinions in the sober and objective manner that a debate of this gravity surely demands, then let them remain the same as my first impression on his letter. A joke.

“UBC is not a strong attacking team yet. We are concentrating on defence first and then on forwards and attack.”
