Project still on ”Lambrou By S U E VOHANKA

LRS Development Enterprises will present a design proposal for redevelopment on the University Endowment Lands in about 30 days, LRS president Dinos Lambrou said Wednesday.

Lambrou said details for the design are not and never have been decided.

The land development company holds options to purchase 3.6 acres bounded by Allison, Toronto, Dalhousie and Kings Roads. Redevelopment would displace a middle income community of 179 people who currently live in the area’s low-rise apartments and row houses.

LRS secretary and barrister William Henson told The Ubyssey Sept. 25 the land would cost $3.7

million to develop. At that time, Henson also said

the proposed development would be restricted to high income residents.

But in an interview Wednesday, Lambrou said: “We didn’t know

Lambrou said the firm has never decided who “we were going to cater to” or how many suites would be built.

And he said he could not estimate costs for the project. “You cannot determine the cost of the project unless you have made the plans. We have no plans,” he said.

In a Sept. 24 Vancouver Sun story, Lambrou was quoted as saying plans were for a “very elaborate, ~~ super-deluxe residential

Lambrou said the proposal is “still at the investigating and designing stage.”

“We’ve had several discussions in principle for what would be best for the area. There was no specific plan or development proposal at this time made to the authorities,” he said.

“We had some original ideas about it-that were not in any way welcomed by the endowment lands (manager Bob . ..- RiIurdoch) . and the . ” ,

Norm Pearson, deputy minister for thedepartment of lands, forests and water resources, which is responsible for the UEL, said Oct. 9 he. didn’t think a development scheme would go ahead.

He told the Ubyssey in a telephone interview from Victoria that the provincial government is amending the land use code to prevent demolition of existing buildings without a permit.

“It is highly unlikely that any development would occur in ac- cordance with the code as it . .

He also said the chances of existing buildings being torn down and replaced with another development are “extremely remote” because the economic return would be “extremely marginal.”

Lambrou admitted that development cannot occur until LRS and the government agree on a proposal.

Shadrack said input from the northern campus into NDU’s transformation, announced by education minister Eilleen Dailly last spring, has been ignored.

However, Shadrack said no one from Notre Dame has had input into this plan because of a lack of concrete proposals from the department.

Shadrack estimated about. 500 people would attend the Friday symposium.

Controls bring confusion By LAFlRY HILL

GREGG THOMPSON and

There’s a lot 0% confusion a t UBC over whether the federal govern- ment’s wage and price controls apply to contract negotiations on campus.

UBC personnel director John McLean thinks campus library and clerical workers blew a 19 per cent wage hike when they rejected an administration ‘offer Oct. 9.

But Dale McAslyn, spokes- woman for the Association of University and College Em- ployees, local 1, which represants the UBC workers, expressed surprise at McLean’s attitude Wednesday.

“We aren’t sure whether or not we will be included under this new policy,” she said.

Meanwhile, spokesmen for both the administration and the faculty association say they do not know how the controls will affect up- coming negotiations between the two sides for a first collective bargaining agreement.

Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau announced Monday a plan to limit wage increases to a range of eight to 12 per cent, along with a program whiclh allegedly would

hold down price increases by a similar amount.

McLean said the administration had offered AUCE a 19 per cent wage increase Oct. 3, but the union membership overwhelmingly rejected the offer Oct. 9.

“We offered them a 19 per cent increase and they turned it down,” said McLean. “Now the govern- ment has placed a wage increase ceiling of eight per cent. We’re going. to have to make quallflcations on our pay increase offer. It is too much now, because of the government stipulations, but it has to be clarified still,” he said.

McAslyn said, “we aren’t sure whether or not.we will be inchded under this new policy. We’ll have to put our feelers out, and find out for sure just what is going on.”

Local president Emerald Murphy agreed with McAslyn’s assessment.

“We’re just not sure how the anti-inflation package relates to us,” she said.

“No one seems to know. We’ve consulted law professors on the matter and some say we’re stuck with it and some say we’re not,” Murphy said.

She said there are anomalies in the legislation which require careful analysis by the union.

“We’ll just have to wait and see how it’s worded,” she said.

“But until that time, things are just too unclear to comment on.”

AUCE has been working without a contract since Oct. 1. The ad- ministration last week asked for, and received a mediator in the dispute, but mediator Ed Simms has not yet been called on to mediate.

represented the administration in preliminary negotiations with the faculty association, said the controls will probably mean tighter provincial government funding of universities.

He said the portion of the university budget tagged for wages will probably increase by less than 10 per cent and in that way wages of profs will be held down.

“The guidelines are bound to affect university wages,” he said.

But he emphasized he did not know whether profs are directly covered.

“We are not an industry o r a big business,” he said. “Not everyone is covered.”

Faculty association president Don McRae said, ““simply not enough was known” about the legislation to determine how it will

voted Wednesday to cut $3,500 from its deficit budget after former treasurer Dave Theessen said an AMS f e e increase referendum may fail.

The budget Theessen presented to council showed a $47,906 deficit which was trimmed to $44,480.

Theessen said if this year's AMSi has a large deficit and students reject the fee increase next year's AMS finances will be "in very bad shape."

The B.C. Students' Federation has sold $3,000 worth of advance tickets for i t s winter lottery on B.C. campuses, BCSF staffer Glenn MacKenzie said Wednesday.

He said student unions and clubs at five B.C. post-secondary in- stitutions have bought large numbers of the tickets to sell after lottery ticket sales begin Nov. 1.

Vancouver Community College, Capilano College, Malaspina College, B.C. Institute of Technology, B.C. Vocational School and Okanagan College have all agreed to sell lottery tickets.

The lottery will help finance the BCSF's current budget of $23,000.

MacKenziesaid Wednesday UBC undergraduate society treasurers will meet Tuesday to discuss ticket sales on campus. He said the BCSF hopes to sell at least 2,000 tickets at UBC, and must sell 4,000 $2 tickets to break even on the venture.

First prize in the lottery is a trip for two to Mexico. The draw will be held Feb. 14, 1976.

MacKenzie said proceeds of the lottery will supplement the money BCSF hopes member student unions will pay to the federation after levying BCSF fees on students.

Most campuses, however, must hold a referendum before they can charge a fee from students. MacKenzie said the lottery money would protect BCSF from losses incurred if some of the student unions were unable to pay their fees.

BCSF decided at a September meeting that member student unions would pay 50 cents per student per semester to belong to the federation, beginning in 1976.

In addition, five member in- stitutions agreed to provide in- terim financing for the BCSF until the 1976 fiscal year begins March 1.

These grants pay a $650 per month salary to Janet Neilson, BCSF's lone staffer, conference and travel expenses and other miscellaneous expenses.

The 1976 BCSF budget would allow the federation to hire two staffers at $700 per month.

BCSF was established in March and survived the summer on three $100 grants, one each from VCC, Capilano College and UBC.

Arts rep Bruce Wilson said the AMS is seriously underfinanced.

"This council is going very rapidly to the point where it cannot function. As far as I know this is the first deficit ever," Wilson said.

He said the AMS should not spend all of this money because it will be needed soon to replace furniture and to make other renovations, including replacing the carpet in the Pit.

NUS loses one but.gains CANADIAN UNIVERSITY PRESS

The National Union of Students lost a key vote of confidence from students a t the University of Alberta but won support at two other western Canadian univer- sities during recent referendums.

The Alberta vote, considered an important test for the three-year- old organization, overwhelmingly indicated students there don’t want to join NUS.

But NUS executive secretary Dan O’Connor said students at the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Winnipeg voted to join the national union, which is holding its general meeting in Fredericton starting today.

At the Saskatchewan campus, there was a 28 per cent turnout with 1,885 voting in favor of joining NUS and 1,001 opposed.

O’Connor said the constitution there requires a 66 per cent majority to pass a referendum but since NUS received 65 per cent support the student council will be able to pass the $1 per student fee on its own.

A 20.5 per cent turnout in Win- nipeg saw 299 supporting NUS with 241 opposed, sufficient under local rules to carry the referendum.

A vote at UBC for NUS is scheduled for later this year.

Meanwhile, in Ottawa, a NUS request for student representation on the Canada Student Loans plenarygroup is an “inappropriate suggestion” according to the group chairman.

David Levin, group chairman and direction of the federal finance department’s federal-provincial relations division, said in an in- terview the subject will be discussed a t a group meeting later this month.

But he said he personally objects

to students in the group. The plenary group sets the rules

governing who will get student loans and how much they will get. It presently consists only of student aid officers from the federal and provincial governments, meets annually in closed session, and releases no information about its discussions or activities.

“Here are a bunch of ad- ministrators - civil servants - getting together trying to scratch their heads on how to improve the (student loan) program working within the constraints they have to, and I don’t think it would help the work we do to have students or any other group of people involved in our work. At that stage we’re in a different world,” Levin explained.

He described the role of the plenary as being “to arrive at nationally acceptable standard practices with respect to the ad- ministration of student loans” but conceded that “administration” included “substantive policy matters” determining the nature of the program.

While noting that the “bulk of the decision-making’’ about student loan policy involves the plenary group, Levin said he sees no role there for student representatives. “Student organizations always have .the opportunity to make representations with respect to particular program changes” he said, suggesting that NUS should “submit a brief” if it wanted, rather than seek representation.

Submitting briefs, he said, is “part of our traditional way of doing things” and stressed that it is not usual to include people affected by government programs in the decision-making process itself, citing areas of health care and welfare policy as examples..

Student delays U.S. picketing

picketing the U.S. - consulate because he fears it may prevent him him from obtaining a tourist visa, Dave Johnson, former Alma Mater Society ombudsperson, said Wednesday.

Lam, a grad student a t UBC, earlier threatened to picket the consulate this week if he did not receive a satisfactory reply to a letter sent to the consul, protesting his deportation from the U.S. and the reypcation of his student visa.

Lam’s US. student visa was revoked in September after he crossed the U S . border from Canada illegally.

Lam claims his illegal entry to the U.S. was caused by his misunderstanding a border of- ficial’s instruction, and says U S . officials have repeatedly denied him the opportunity to appeal the

incldent. US. border officials say Lam

was caught several miles south of the border, speeding south on the freeway at 50 miles an hour.

They say there is no appeals procedure and that all Lam can do is reapply for a visa and hope his application is accepted.

Last week Johnson, on Lam’s behalf, wrote a letter to the con- sulate protesting their handling of Lam’s complaint and requesting they consider Lam’s case.

Hesaid at the time that Lam and himself would picket the consulate this week if they had not received a “satisfactory” answer” to the letter by last Friday.

Johnson said he and Lam will picket the consulate if Lam’s request for a tourist visa is refused.

Lam said he may never use the tourist visa, but is applying for one partly “to see what (the U.S. consul’s) attitude is right now.”

But even if they give me a visa I still want to clear up what hap- pened in September,” he said.

Lam said human resources minister Norman Levi replied to a letter sent by Johnson on behalf of Lam, saying he would contact U S . consul-general John Stutesman about the problem.

Lam, a Hong Kong citizen, received his undergraduate degree in California. He came to UBC for grad school and hopes to complete his grad studies in the US. if he is ever allowed back in. He also has a brother living in the U.S.

According to Levin, if students have anything to say about student aid, they should direct their at- tention to the provincial govern- ments, not to the Plenary Group he chairs.

“I equate students with- the ministers not with the civil ser- vants,” he said. “Where there are basic policy issues that have to be decided, propo:jals to be put for- ward, then students have to have

contact with the (provincial) ministers of education.”

The process he favours has student groups submitting student aid proposals to provincial ministers, who may decide to raise them a t the plenary group. If they do, and if the Plenary approves the proposal, it is then returned to all the provinces for approval. Finally, if the provinces approve, it is returned to the federal finance

minister for final decision. Once the change has been decided, Levin said, only then could it , b e made known to the students and the public.

According to Levin’s scenario, the federal government plays only a passive role in student loan policy formulation, even though it is a federal program, while the initiative for policy development comes from the provinces.

VCC p.rotest to go to , -

By CHRIS GAINOR Students and instructors at

Vancouver Com,munity College - will take their protest against government cutbacks to Victoria following a demonstration Tuesday at a VCC council meeting.

Nearly 400 placard-carrying students attended the meeting where it was announced that the provincial government had granted funds for additional courses a t VCC.

VCC bursar Len Berg said Wednesday the government had granted the college $130,000 in additional course allocations after granting $300,000 earlier this month.

VCC had applied last spring for a 1975-76 budget of $24 million but the ‘education department granted the college only $20.3 million after the department appointed a three- person committee to investigate VCC’s finances.

The additional funds will be used for several courses, primarily an English language . training program for adults at the King Edward campus, Berg said.

. “It is believed that we are suf- fering major cutbacks,” he said. “But in fact we are not.”

But Vovational Instructors’ Association spokesman Betsy McDonald said Wednesday, “the cutbacks are affecting the students and the public in a drastic way.”

McDonald said the VIA, a t a meeting Wednesday, decided to go to Victoria to present a petition protesting the cutbacks to education minister Eileen Dailly. The petition currently has more than 3,000 signatures, she said.

“The universities did not get ‘a major cutback but the community colleges got a whopping cutback,” McDonald said.

She said more money should be spent on student programs and less on administration costs.

This policy was drawn up by members of the Student Unity party at a recent meeting of the group, but was never ratified by council. Several council members expressed opposition to student Unity policy.

When asked to comment on recent newspaper reports of ex- travagant administration spen- ding, she said, “the ad- ministration, even though it’s the cheapest in B.C., takes more than it should from student programs.”

She said the additional funds granted recently would have been granted without. pressure from students or instructors but, ‘‘some of them that would be delayed are now going ahead.”

The education department routinely grants funds for new programs to community colleges after their budgets are finalized. The college administration must include these new programs in their budgets for the following year.

McDonald said she hopes next year’s VCC budget will “take due consideration of educational and vocational courses and allow those people who need those courses to have them.”

Unbelievable. It‘s unbelievable but true. F Y I I WING . t mw.

How UBC can time after time send delegates to conferences without clear student council policy to -guide them is incredible;

Yet it continues to happen - the latest example being Tuesday‘s poorly attended “council meeting‘ which was called a t the last minute especially to give instructions to our National Union of Students conference delegates.

Now Alma Mater Society president Jake van der Kamp and external affairs officer Janet Neilson are a t the Fredricton NUS conference.

What are they doing there? Council certainly doesn’t know. Not enough councillors bothered to show up a t the

meeting but those who did threw in their two-bits for the hell of it.

But it shouldn’t have waited until the-last minute. A firm executive policy on NUS and a council discussion on the subject had been scheduled for weeks.

Various AMS committees spe‘nt the summer looking into issues such as student aid, housing and unemployment but did these get discussed, at council with a view to proposing natiomal recommendations.

No. What are the implications of the reports on similar issues

More unanswered questions. Of the two delegates UBC sent, van der Kamp has

covered various NUS issues for The Ubyssey but he’s never been to a conference: Neilson, while experienced in student unionism, is only an interim executive member and won’t be standing for election in upcoming byelections.

Last minute choice of delegates. No policies to take with them. It‘s reminiscent of numerous NUS and BCSF conferences in the past.

replies The Zionists on campus appear

to be disturbed by The Ubyssey’s “biased” coverage of Dayan’s visit and the opposition to it. In fact, The Ubyssey gave rather liberal coverage to the Zionists - a reply from Hillel House to my article, a lengthy interview with two Israeli students, two articles on Dayan’s visit prior to the visit, plenty of coverage of Dayan’s speech and of the pro-Dayan demonstration and a great deal of space given to four outraged Zionist letter writers.

No, it is not “biased’ coverage that upsets the Zionists; it is the appearance of strong anti-Zionist sentiment on campus which sends them into a frenzy.

- Of all the Zionists’ letters and articles in The Ubyssey, only one dared to deal with my article, no doubt because it was SQ well researched by our committee. I shall try to clear up some of the confusion which Weintraub is trying -to spread in his letter.

The worst confusion is Wein- traub’s slander, echoing U.S. ambassador to the UN Moynihan, that the PLO’s “reactionary and murderous nature” is shown by the support it receives from “op- pressive and dictatorial govern- ments” of the Third World coun- tries. Now, if you read the Zionists’ own history books, you find out that the Zionists always planned to colonize (the Zionists’ own word) Palestine with European Jews.

They carried out this colonization, and evicted or mass,acred nearly all the Palestinians in the process. Israel constantly sends its armed forces into Palestinian refugee camps to

terrorize and kill people in order to maintain its illegitimate rule. The PLO is striving to overturn the rule in Palestine of Zionism and to establish a democratic and secular state there. So it is clear that Zionism is “reactiona‘ry and murderous” and that the PLO is in fact progressive.

The reason that so many Third World countries support the PLO is that they too have struggled for a long time against colonialism, imperialism and raCism, just as the Palestinian people have struggled against the colonial and racist policies of the Zionists, aided by the British and U.S. im- perialists.

So it is no accident that Third World countries and the PLO find themselves on one side against South Africa, Rhodesia, and Israel, which are all racist, European

colonialist settler countries. It is worth noting that Israel is currently training South African and Rhodesian police in anti- guerilla activities to be used against black people’s liberation forces.

The only thing in Weintraub’s letter that I agree with is that “Necessity not choice has deter- mined (Israel’s) friendships.” It necessarily follows that only racist, colonialist and imperialist countries can support Israel, because if any other country supported Israel, it would be supporting its own worst enemy.

Weintraub’s assertion that the jailing of Haganah members by the British shows that British im- perialism did not support Zionism holds no water. Haganah members were jailed at the beginning of Second World War because the

British wanted to pacify the Palestinians i n order to con- centrate on fighting the Nazis. There had just been three years of tremendous uprisings of the Palestinians against the British- Zionist plans to steal Palestine - and incidentally, the British recruited Haganah members, including Moshe Dayan, to help put down the 1936-39 revolts.

The British used their alliance with Zionism in the 1956 war launched by Israel, Britain and France against Egypt to try to regain control of the Suez Canal from Egypt. . Is Israel democratic, .as Wein- traub claims? Can a country be democratic if it forcibly keeps 1-1/2 million people displaced from their homes? And is it not true that ‘‘democratic” Israel counts every Jew in the whole world a s a citizen, but not a single evicted Palestinian as a citizen.

Are not European Jews first class citizens, other Jews second class, and Arabs third class? Emigration from Israel is in- creasing rapidly as people there realize the nature of Israel.

Military checks everywhere have made the country a police state - no doubt out of “necessity not choice.” No, Israel is far from democratic.

Weintraub’s talk about the PLO killing “civilians” is more con- fusion. These “civilians” are in the military reserve and/or are set- tlers. All of Israel is a military zone. The real terrorist actions have been carried out by the ar- med units of Zionism - the Haganah, the Irgun, the Stern Gang, and the Israeli military.

Finally, Mark Weintraub, I am proud to say that, yes, I favor the destruction of the Zionist state of Israel and the creation of a democratic, secular Palestine, just as I favor the destruction of the

racist Rhodesian and South African states to be replaced by states with majority rule there. I look forward to the day when the i

Palestinian people will have smashed Zionism and liberated their homeland.

Rape Lake Sagaris should have been

more careful when she labelled the rape crisis study as superficial in the Oct. 10 issue of The Ubyssey.

If she had bothered to read the report carefully or if she had simply read the adequate but by no means complete list of recom- mendations that were cited from our report in the Oct. 7 issue of the paper, she would have seen that her list of suggestions nearly matched our recommendations.

I was genuinely sorry to read in The Ubyssey about an increase in the incidence of assault and rape on the campus since this school year began. I sincerely hope sthat the broad range of agencies that h e found: ready and willing to help women who were victims are providing supportive services.

Perhaps the next step would be for The Ubyssey to feature methods of avoiding rape and/gr assault and to write stories highlighting people or agencies willing to help the women who are victims. This service to all of the women of the UBC community would seem to be far more productive than giving space to Lake Sagaris to label a report she evidently hasn’t read carefully a s superficial.

World political prisoners

Beliefs are their- crimes During its prisoner of conscience week,

Amnesty International’s Vancouver group is attempting to gain the attention and support particularly of students a t the university level. The study of the formation of human values is essential to the work of Amnesty and as it should be essential to a university community, any branch of Amnesty lacking student involvement is missing an important contact.

In the 14 years since its foundation, Amnesty International has been active in combatting violations of human rights wherever they occur in the world. Torture, capital punishment, poor prison conditions, unjust laws and political show trials have all come under its scrutiny and attracted its condemnation.

One of the most tragic and intractable problems with which Amnesty International as ah organization has had to deal is the problem of long term imprisonment. Many of the more than 3,600 prisoners under adoption or investigation by Amnesty In- ternational are men and women who have spent many years in detention for their political or religious beliefs. These in- dividuals - the truly “forgotten prisoners” - are the kind of people about whom Am- nesty International’s founders were most concerned.

P r e s s u r e Through the use of letters, telegrams and

petitions from people as private citizens, members of the business community or members of Amnesty International to the many officials of the governments involved, and through the hiring of lawyers, meeting with ambassadors and publicizing through the media the prisoners’ cases, Amnesty tries to bring pressure to bear on the prisoners’ governments.

The results that Amnesty hopes for and in many instances has achieved, are the bringing of the prisoners back into public view, bringing them to a fair tria1,in- fluencing their more humane treatment in prison, (medical attention, cessation of torture), or best of all, the release of the prisoners.

Long term imprisonment is perhaps the most destructive form of punishment that can be imposed on a human being. Cut off from society, often without access to any news of the outside world, frequently in

science week 1975 amply illustrate the impact of long term incarceration on the lives of ordinary people.

The cases selected cover countries as geographically and ideaologically diverse as Turkey and Taiwan, Cuba and Singapore, Rhodesia and the Soviet Union. There is, however, a depressing parallelism about the fate which has overtaken the 12 prisoners

In Taiwan, a writer finds himself im- prisoned for 10 years after a trial in secret by military tribunal; in the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen, a former cabinet minister is given similar sentence under retroactive legislation.

In Indonesia, Singapore and Rhodesia, prisoners are held for years without any hope of being brought to trial under

emergency legislation and special laws permitting virtual indefinite detention.

In the Soviet Union, a 47-year-old woman faces eight years’ imprisonment in a corrective labor camp to be followed by five years of internal exile for alleged “anti- Soviet agitation . and propaganda. ” In Tunisia, a young leftwinger finds that the conditional amnesty under which he was released in 1970 has been revoked, and he must return to prison to serve out a 16-year sentence for his political activities.

The 12 individuals listed by Amnesty International for prisoner of conscience week come from all races and backgrounds. What they have in common is the tragedy of long term persecution for their political beliefs.

P r i s o n e r s The Amnesty International report of 1974-

1975 records that a s of May 31, 1975 there were 1,592 Amnesty International groups in 31 countries and more than 70,000 individual members of the organization in some 65 countries. There were 3,650 prisoners under adoption or investigation by Amnesty groups around the world.

During the year - May 1974 to May 1975 - Amnesty International took action on violations of human rights in 107 countries, dispensed about 100,000 pounds (US $240,000) in relief to prisoners and their families, and sent missions and trial ob- servers to 31 countries.

As well a s adopting and working to find, aid, bring to fair trial or secure the release of political prisoners who have been unjustly detained and inhumanly treated, Amnesty groups research and discuss the motivations of decision-makers regarding peace, war and torture, and try to publicize prisoners’ cases and political incidents leading to these problems.

By this, they attempt to not only aid emergent situations but bring to the public awareness of the responsibility of people at all levels of society to work for the main- tenance of human rights.

It was written by Larry Fisk of MSVU’s political studies department. Although some statistics may not apply to all Canadian universities, the attitudes certainly do.

We live in a time of such social awareness that even the graffiti scribbed on washroom walls has taken on moral and political significance.

One such popular scrawl reminds that Frederick Nietszche was probably the first to coin the “God is dead” phrase. It reads “God is Dead - Fred” and below it are enblazened the words “Fred is Dead! - God.”

A group of students a t the University of Alberta were recently addressed by a speaker who entitled his talk: “The University is dead - God.”

Some of us would be prepared to argue that in terms of matters that really count the university, if not dead, is a t least under the serious and critical scrutiny of experts in the intensive care unit and the present prognosis is none too favorable.

For whatever else we may wish to say about the youth culture (or however we define the long term significance of a counter-culture of cultural revolution), a profound questioning and dissatisfaction is in fact being expressed and changes demanded within the university en- vioronment.

Perhaps Peter Berger’s simple ex- planation helps us to understand. The dominant spirit of childhood - the happy childhood that most middle class children share - is confronting the second most dominant spirit in technological societies - the spirit of bureaucratization common to all institutions.

The carefree, protected and highly per- sonal life of childhood confronts the highly regulated and impersonal life of bureaucracy first of all in educational in- stitutions.

Social institutions such as the church or the family, or political institutions such a s political parties may once have been the most logical object of youthful attack, but their significance in defining social reality seems very much to be replaced by ‘the universities. Hence, the attack zeroes in on the more recently uncovered enemy.

Berger’s notion of these two dominant spirits leaves much unexplained: For example, why should this present generation act so determinedly when some of us sat so passively in lecture halls only a decade ago? Nevertheless the above comments do open, a t least, the question as to how the university defines social reality and what myths a re operative a s the university engages in this vital task.

The problem, a s we understand it, is not so much that the university has the power to define social reality for us but, rather, that it does so on the basis of very particular, if not narrow, assumptions rooted in its present faculty and administration and their own professional training; most of whom

We describe -these evils as tendencies because we do not believe all universities harbor them to the same extent although all halls of learning are subjected to the forces which foster their unwelcome growth.

These forces include, we’re convinced, tightly rationalized academic traditions, the social status of the university trained, the effect of large buildings and the main- tenance of them, the sheer size of most modern campuses and their concommitant administrative needs, and the increased importance and power of universities in social and political life.

Emanations arising from the above sources inevitably push the university in the undesirable directions’which we now wish to describe more fullv. .~ . ””

First we said the university tends to be anti-personal. We deliberately chose to say “anti-personal” rather than “impersonal” because the first expression intimates that university life is consciously against people rather than quietly indifferent. Let us ex- plain.

It is obvious now to most of us that the university is increasingly anti-personal when we consider the bureaucratization of the institution.

Scores of introductory classes across the country have enrolments of 800 to 1,000 where the only advantage for the student is that his or her anonymity ensures an uninterrupted 50 minute nap.

Or we might consider computerized registration which makes number 100667 more significant than my signature; or library regulations designed to keep books on the shelf; a library checked-out service which dispenses more feelings of criminality than it catches stolen books; the profusion of faculty lounges which protect professors from unwittingly revealing their humanity to students over coffee. Whatever the regulation, whatever the practice, the sue, maintenance and development of the total physical plant in effect says (in the words of the bewildered freshmen) : “screw the individual student!”

One of our number remembers one summer working a t Queen’s University where most persons employed by that august institution were flat broke at the end of the spring term. Most students usually are.

Not only was the university in no position to anticipate the needs of its own student

day a s hewas moving out of town. The answer received was that the com-

puter was programmed to print the cheques, feed them to envelopes and mail them to each employee at his or her summer ad- dress.

It was a cardinal rule that there would be no interference in this programmed process. He would have to move to Toronto on the same threadbare shoestring that he had worn all summer and wait for the post office to forward his desperately needed funds.

There is a second and much more serious level of “inhumanity” in the universities and that is in the way the academic pursuits engaged in emphasize behavior rather than experience in the humanities and social sciences the observable behavior of people is studied to the exclusion of the in- trospective view of the one who is ex- periencing the behavior.

But experience is every bit a s real as the behavior that we observe that reflects it.

R. D. Laing, the provocative British psychiatrist, has shown us that experience is but one side of reality and behavior another. There is no inner and outer in human experience save what we give those names.

In order to understand persons, we need to appreciate the total reality about them. We need to take seriously the experience which gives rise to behavior.

As Laing says: “Our behavior is a func- tion of our experience. We act according to the way we see things. If our experience is destroyed our behavior will be destructive. If our experience is destroyed, we have lost our own selves.”

I submit that it is just this over-emphasis on outward actions on behavior and de- emphasis of experience which fosters the lack of appreciation on the part of the student for his or her own experience.

In other words, a university education teaches students to “learn about the world rather than to learn from the world” as Ivan Illich puts it.

Lectures, reading lists, term papers and examinations all pressure the student to see social realities as something to be learned about, observed and memorized. There is little to match these activities which would assist students in appreciating their en- vironment sharing and extending their talents, accepting and critically weighing their own experience, improving their ac- tivities by practice and developing their own wisdom and morality.

Is it any wonder university teachers complain that students a re inexperienced and non-reflective? Students are so because their training circumvents such self- reflection.

To use an example from the field of political studies we teach students about political institutions and political events but we do not attempt to practice political action of responsible citizenship and critically evaluate our own performance.

There is a further difficulty in this over- emphasis on observable behavior. Academics call this approach of un-

derstanding the world around us scientific . realism. It is a realism which critically analyzes and scientifically or 6

systematically reorders reality. What many of the young, or those who

think young, hunger for is a new theory of human intelligence, a new conception of human knowing, and a new definition of. , reason.

The young Catholic theologian, Michael 4.

Novak, writes that the university faculty (and not the administration) is the real enemy of the student in this struggle for a new understanding.

He says, “the faculty is the guardian of the prevailing myth by which reality is to be perceived; the prevailing definition of reason, method, argumentation and even perception. What the faculty says is im- portant exists; what the faculty ignores does not exist. Realism is what one learns in college.”

Critics of this realism are joined by young students in calling for a replacement of analytical reason by consciousness which maintains, again a s does Michael Novak, that, “myth and symbol, feeling and fan- tasy, experience and imagination, sen- sitivity and sensibility are given an explicit role in the expression of ethical and political perception and action.”

As advocates of realism we, the faculty, have for too long been calling such dimensions of human understanding mere romanticism, irrationality or self- indulgence.

Finally, I think the university is viciously anti-personal because of its inordinate emphasis on hard, competitive wo&. Success, is university circles, is seen as what I achieve “in relation to other,” what I achieve by stepping over and on my fellow students or faculty members.

But our e+research is politically relevant not

only in what we find and what we question but also in how we investigate.

Some forms of investigation (for example participant observation) may lead to an involvement and identification with persons being studied that a distant analysis based on sample surveys might never risk.

More students are aware of unforeseen consequences of new discoveries what with our new areness of the environmental crisis. But all too few researchers consider the political question as to who should get the results of completed studies.

Precious little research is carried on with a view to developing a better life for forgotten minorities and issuing them with the results. What we require may be counter-research which imaginatively and stubbornly attempts to propound and develop stark new alternatives of outworn ways of doing things.

Ivan Illich calls for such research, a "research on alternatives to the products which now dominate the market; to hop- sitals and the profession dedicated to keeping the sick alive (the research required for a heart transplant while thousands die of amoebic dysentery) to schools and the packaging process which refuses education to those who are not of the right age, who have not gone through the curriculum, who have not sat in a classroom a sufficient number of successive hours, who will not pay for their learning with submission to custodial care, screening and certification or with indoctrination in the values of the dominant elite."

Provocative statements like Illich's may remind academics that our quiet studies in carpeted offices do not cease to be political just because we avoid taking sides. Our decision not to engage upon a study which would be given over to the poor for use against the existing economic and political order, far from being politically neutral is in fact politically reactionary.

We fail to recognize that even our feeble attempts at neutrality are rooted in the naive assumption that the political and educational climate and institutions within which we work are also neutral and har- mless, if not powerless. American academics need only reflect on the fact that 65 per cent of all university research is directly or indirectly sponsored by govern- ment agencies to show the error of such an assumption.

We come to accept instead compromise, patience and acquiescence. We grow in- capableof attacking problems in such a way as to build a significantly better system because we fail to strike with imagination and concern a t the very roots of the traditional pattern and order. Our research produces reforms which are tacked on to the present social system.

Yet, "there is compelling evidence," says Novak, "that realistic social and political reforms do not, in fact, alter power arrangements or weaken key interest groups in our society; political symbols change, but the same elites remain in un- challenged power."

The over-all style of our teaching and research with its unquestioned realism and emphasis on behavior conducted as it is with such political naivete is the source of the third evil to be found on Canadian cam- puses, i.e. moral bankruptcy.

Where students learn about social reality without an equal emphasis on learning from

that reality, professors have the power to define reality by the reading lists they distribute, but the assigned topics of their term papers, by the approved methodologies they lecture upon, and by the content of their final examinations. The discrediting of student experience is damaging to the student personally and like a canceroa growth it sinks into the inner consciousness of students to the point where students find it ever more difficult to recognize what they themselves think and feel.

But as well, this deprecation of experience eats away the basis from which students feel concern and responsibility for others. The realism of university education tends to destroy the basis upon which wisdom and moralit,y must be founded: that is, personal experieince and intelligent reflection upon it.

Michael Polanyi, that great philosopher of science, talks about the 'tacit dimension to human knowing: - "we know more than we can tell." We can't "recognize" a friend's face yet be unable to describe the separate

features of that face. We recognize the parts of a frog, a machine or whatever because of our prior knowledge of the whole to which they belong.

The experience of the student is analagous to Polanti's tacit dimension of knowing. The student learns better the wider his or her experience and his or her own reflection on it. If the student's own experience is down graded, or even worse disoriented and distorted, by repeated and highly sophisticated assaults on it by faculty and students' arguments and examples the well from which the student's behavior is drawn becomes an empty shaft encrusted with self distrust.

Students come to overlook and distrust what is in themselves. They have less within upon which to shape patterns without. In- ward emptiness and moral bankruptcy is a direct result of the style of university education in the past and its continued refusal to consider seriously the emptiness it has caused in the present.

In short, university education is built on specific stories or myths about what the real world is like and how we can come to know it. Our practices and methodologics have made numbers out of persons by measuring success by grades, size, volume and control; robbed students of their self-respect by discounting their personal experience; made competing cranks out of faculty by rewarding their fiercest competitive ten- dencies; blinded us from our political responsibilities for changing the social order and serving the defenceless segments

~~ of the human community by encouraging secluded! research for governments and

business; made a virtue of passivity, caution and indecision even in times of the most dire social need; bureaucratized the wisdom of the ages; and convinced a generation of scholars that their ideals must be tailored to fit reality: -that a lack of moral commitment would somehow not only enhance scholarship but change the world for the better.

For these and other reasons we can fairly add moral bankruptcy to the description of the present, evils integral to university education.

What we ought seriously to be questioning is how as faculty and students we can in all conscious continue to associate ourselves with a university.

We justify our staying on in a teaching position only as we struggle to re-examine the myths which undergird the university and our own understanding of them. It seems to us that the uncloaking of myths is the central taskof all students be they social or natural scientists, philosophers or theologians, and that the uncloaking must necessarily begin with ourselves, our own training and the institutions with which we are associated.

Secondly, we believe that as faculty we can justify an extended contract with the university if our teaching practices enable students to learn from the world rather than simply about it. Hence, we teach political institutions and we practice citizenship, we open up the universities to those who want to learn; the desire to learn is their eligibility to enrol, not prerequisite courses, ability to pay or certification. We justify our at- tachment to the university a s we detach ourselves and take our books, ideas and knowledge to be used by the larger com- munity outside.

We should justify our research only as it becomes counter-research, that research which recognizes its political obligations and struggles to construct radical alter- natives for a new society; that research which can be employed by those who most need it and seldom have access to it; the poor, the dispossessed, the politically defenceless minorities.

Thirdly, we justify our continued association with theuniversity by struggling to build a new moral view of ourselves and our education. The brilliant psychoanalyst and social critic Ernest Becker has written a most careful treatise called Beyond Alientation in which he ever so thoroughly traces the gradual return of morality to the post-scientific world-view and the content of education.

We hope that in what we've already said about the university's moral failures you may agree with us that we need to grapple with the moral dimension of life in the university. Certainly we need to continue our scientific and philosophic analyses and comparisons of moral positions and ethical problems. But in addition we, all of us, faculty and students alike, need to express our questions of conscience, we need to encourage intelligent commitments and consciously engage one another with our senses of social obligation and personal convictions.

It would be comforting to think that the development and living out of such con- victions may yet lead to some more humane, politically aware and morally sensitive community of scholars in the future.

‘he student housing crisis is a paradoxical issue.

3fficials and some politicians wee the problem will worsen in years ahead if some widespread changes don’t take place.

But students are victims of the paradox - a crisis in September affecting thousands, followed by. a misleading appearance of an oywabundant housing supply at o h times of the year.

Each October, the housing crisis seems shelved for another year - to recur in even more intense form.

“It’s difficult to explain,” says %ve Johnson, who manages UBC’s off-campus housing service. ‘‘It’s something that’s bothering me.”

Johnson was referring to the 15 rooms in UBC’s residences which remained vacant a t the end of September despite long waiting. i&s during the summer.

There are dozens of unfilled listings - mostly basement rooms without cooking facilities in small Eamily homes - which probably will never be filled.

The unfilled listings are ‘‘proof” to municipal politicians and others opposed to improving student housing that the problem doesn’t f e l ly exist.

The “proof” is misleading to stbdents concerned with housing problems.

Students, say Johnson and housing service employee Stew Savard, a re like other low income people with the disadvantage they oft? have to seek new ac- qmmodation each year.

They say students should be given the opportunity to find other adequate accommodation with the privacy and living standards others have. * “Changing att i tudes,” says Johnson when asked about the -wadox of apparent vacancies in the_ midst of the “worst housing crisis in years.” “Students want some cooking facilities.”

“The independent student prefers a substandard room of one’s own to either the parental home or the don-supervised residence,” a report on student housing prepared last year for the B.C. Universities Council says. “Even the inconvenience and wasted time of inadequate public transportation onto campus could be accepted for the pleasure of being responsible to no one but one’s self. . . ”

Privucy asked Students want privacy, in-

dependence and freedom - like other tenants. Accommodation (especially in crowded residences) that would have been acceptable a decade ago is now taken only in desperation.

And the off-campus ac- commodation that is available - rooms in family homes away from the university, where kitchen and bathroom facilities must be shared

desperation. That is the kind of ac-

commodation Vancouver mayor Art Phillips, concerned with preserving comfortable neigh- bourhoods of single family homeowners, is willing to offer the students.

“Students can stay in private homes as long as they have no kitchen facilities,” he says. “One way we’ve helped is to publicize the fact of the need - encouraging homeowners to come forward if they have a spare bedroom.”

He says students would be driven from the “spare bedroom” ac- commodation available to them now if areas were rezoned and permanent tenants move into improved, self-contained suites. In

- is taken in even greater

- other words, he is saying only students should be unfortunate enough to tolerate the lifestyle of “spare bedroom” homes.

Phillips’ strong stand against rezoning is, to housing service workers, UBC’s admi.nistration and the provincial government, oneof the main reasons t.he student homing crisis remains serious.

Housing minister’lorne Nicolson blames “municipal restrictions” for failure of a program offering low interest mortgages to homeowners desiring to convert their ’houses to multiple-family accommodation. He says a

Zoning. wrong relaxing of zoning restrictions could go “a long way towards relieving the problems for both UBC and Simon Fraser Univer- sity.”

Despite meetings between university officials and Phillips, and a sparring match that spilled into the newspapers, Phillips remains firm about his desire to maintain the exclusivity of single family neighbourhoods.

Nicolson and administration president Doug Kenny also believe “what is needed is a total in- tegrated housing dev’elopment near the campus” which would serve “more than ,just the academics and students a t the university.”

They haven’t made specific proposals, but Nicolsbn hints scarce Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation money would be forthcoming if a properly “integrated” project could be designed.

But there is little support for new residence construction.

residences this fall haunt those students who had urged additional residence construction during the summer.

No residences The CMHC has emphatically

said it has no money for residence construction, and without mor- tgage money, it is unlikely any residences will be built, except as a last resort.

Housing service manager Johnson says the university should consider upgrading the older Totem Park and Place Vanier residences to allow increased privacy and some independent cooking facilities.

He also says students would welcome additional residences like Walter Gage.

Administration president Kenny has said the university might be forced to request money for new residences if municipal regulations aren’t changed or the “integrated”

homing proposed by Nicolson isn’t constructed.

On a more immediate level, representatives of the off-campus housing service are negotiating with the university administration to see if the office can be operated on a year-round basis.

The full and part-time workers in the office a t the north end of SUB are currently paid union minimum wages of more than $4 an hour. Proposals are to pay full-time workers at least $l,OOO a month.

But a budget of $40,000 a year to maintain the service on a year- round basis appears reasonable.

There would be a few people, at least, with the time to develop ideas and explain the paradox to reluctant politicians.

Otherwise, the “student housing crisis” will remain an increasingly desperate annual show for university students, and the real problems will continue to be treated with band-aid solutions.

’Birds run wild in Manitoba By TOM BARNES

The Thunderbird football team shot %emselves ’Into contention with a 56-25 Western Intercollegiate Football League kinover the hapless University of Manitoba Bisons last Saturday in Winnipeg.

Offensively it was the finest game the ’Birds had put together in many years. The most points UBC ever scored in a game was 58, against Whitman College of Walla Walla in 1966. The performance against Manitoba is better than any league effort the ’Birds. lfave ever been involved in.

UBC scored eight touchdowns, four of them by fullback Gord Penn. Penn scored on a oneyard plunge and 44-yard pass and run play in the second quarter. In the third quarter he scored on a 29-yard draw play

and in the fourth on another one-yard plunge. The last touchdown was set up by a 60-yard punt return by Vic Wasilenko to the Manitoba one-yard line.

Mike MacLeod collected two majors for UBC on a one-yard run and a 11-yard rush. Quarterback Dan Smith passed seven yards to Chris Davies and hit Shaun McGuiness on a 36-yard play for the other UBC touch- downs. Digby Leigh was good on six of seven convert attempts. Smith passed to Davies for a two-point convert on the other touch-

-down. Statistically the ’Birds amassed 316 yards

rushing and 253 yards passing for a total offense of 569 yards and 29 first downs. Penn accounted for 173 of the ’Birds ground yardage.

Manitoba had 173 yards passing and 151 rushilng for 324 total yards with 14 first down:s. Even though the Bisons totals are meagre in comparison with UBC’s, ’Bird coach Frank Smith was not entirely pleased with ,the performance of his defense.

The injury list may account for some lack of spark on the part of the ’Birds defense, although Smith may be the last to admit it. Linebackder Dave MacKay-Dunn and veteran defensive back Ten Hon Choo both missed the game with knee injuries. Gary Metz was also out, with appendicitis, and Bernie Crump suffered a partially separated shoulder in the game. None of the four will be ready for the ’Birds encounter with Montana Tech this Saturday.

The win moved the ’Birds into a second place tie with the idle University of Calgary Dinosaurs; both now have 3-2 league recorck.

The University of Saskatchewan Huskies consolidated their hold on first place with a 32-15 victory over the University of Alberta Golden Bears.

With two of their last three league games at home, UBC stands a good chance at capturing the league title.

The league standings are as follows: GP W L F A Pts.

Sask. 5 4 1 158 73 8 UBC 5 3 2 143 112 6 Calgary 4 3 1 127 73 6 Alta. 5 2 3 88 111 4 Man. 5 0 5 60206 0

Lambrou proposal ‘quite sophisticated’

From page 1 “What we would like to build

there is a community which would house studentsand teaching staff.”

Larnbrou said the complex he wants to build would house “primarily professors” but also students and other people associated with UBC to “bring together the elements of teaching and studying.”

He said the development would be “quite sophisticated” with mainly self-contained bachelor suites. “People would have access

to the amenities of the property,” he added.

Lambrou said student ac- commodation in the proposed complex would have to be subT sidized by the university or the government in order for his firm to receive “some kind of return” on i t s investment.

He said he received “a beautiful letter from your (Alma Mater) society telling me to invest my money somewhere else.”

“Whether we build in the university or in Burnaby it’s

strictly for business. I could make more money in other areas - I don’t work for ,money only,” Lambrou claimed.

“I would like to put something there (on the UEL) for professional reasons,” he said.

Lambrou said he will meet with the architects working on a design next week to discuss details of the proposal.

“I’ll probably have some more details in a couple of weeks,” he said.
