Grom to stor, cruel exDeriments -~ ” I- By MURIEL DRAAISMA -

One of Vancouver’s foremost animal rights groups is launching a campaign to stop scientific cruelty towards primates in university labs.

Peter Hamilton of Lifeforce said UBC is a major offender.

UBC neurosciences professor Juhn Wada conducts cruel and vi- olent experiments on primates, Hamilton charged. The experiments are geared toward finding ways of

preventing epileptic seizures, but Hamilton said they cause unnecessary pain and suffering to primates involved.

Wada’s results are scientifically invalid because the convulsions in- duced in the primates are not com- parable to those experienced by humans with epilepsy, he said. Subject to electrical shocks and confine- ment, the primates’ brain and body function abnormally, he added.

Wada forces the primates into a behavioral observation box with a sliding neckpiece to ensure the animals do not wound themselves, Hamilton said. The primate cannot turn around in the box and its paws are restrained to prevent it from re- moving an electrode attached to its brain.

“It’s morally wrong to cause this pain to animals,” Hamilton said. “I find it hard to believe that people

I with epilepsy would deny these experiments are cruel.”

But Wada, considered to be a world expert on epilepsy, disagreed with Hamilton’s charges. He said his experiments follow the stringent criteria determined by the Canadian Council on Animal Care and are judged by peer groups to be scientifically valid.

Wada agreed animal models fail to produce the same results as hu-. man models, but said it is unethical to use humans in experiments con- cerning epilepsy.

“.As a medical scientist, I believe my research is very important. I have witnessed that many patients have been helped by my research,” he said.

“You just have to help people who fall down, lose consciousness many times a day, in front of everyone, anywhere. You have to help these people.”

Wada denied the primates’ ab- normal state upsets the experi- ‘ments’ validity. Because emotional tension and psychological upset prompt epileptic seizures, the primates’ nervous state suits the experiments, he said.

The restraining device which Hamilton considered cruel serves to protect the primates from inflicting pain on themselves, he added. “AS a professional scientist, I don’t de- pend on the opinion of people like (Hamilton),” he said.

Pers&y loses chancellor race By CHRIS WONG

UBC’s new chancellor is “this year’s representative of the bourgeoisie” and will not adequate- ly stand up for education said former Solidarity Times editor Stan Persky.

Persky lost his third bid to become chancellor to Robert Wyman, chair of Pemberton, Houston, Willoughby Inc. The vote was about 10.000 to 5.000 said UBC information services officer Al

person has won, which shows the reactionary grads of UBC still hold the upper hand.”

But he added he will run for a fourth time in three years as long as the election is democratic.

The chancellor is a non-voting member of the university’s board of governors and senate, and acts as UBC’s senior representative.

Persky said the chancellor must employ unorthodox methods to promote education because of the

education a funding priority. Wyman’s candidate statement

published in the UBC Chronicle contained “utterly orthodox” ideas about running a university including raising funds among business circles, said Persky.

Persky said the chancellor should concentrate on:

0 changing the public’s attitude towards education,

0 acting as the university’s om- budsDerson.

McGuire said local chamber of commerce branches responsible for ap- proving loans will not authorize projects that are financially unviable or undercut older or unionized employees.

Koropatrick said they would use the money to buy equipment. “With this we can get a head start against the other guys,” he said.

Koropatrick said they expect to make over $1,500 each. “Basically you’re going to have a lot of difficulty going back to university with this.” he said.

Simon Seshadri, liason between the government and the Alma Mater Society on this program, said the government is providing $500 to pay students to staff an information booth on the program. The booth will be open weekdays in the SUB listening lounge until the end of March and possibly longer, he said.

There has been a good response in the first week of operation with about 20 inquiries per day, he said. He said the program is not for everyone.

Persky called Wyman a “legaliz- ed gambler” because of his dealing in the stock market, adding Wyman supports the Social Credit government and is not likely to criticize its education policies.

“I just think the chancellor has to become a public advocate for public education,” he said.

But Persky said he is pleased with the results because his percentage of the vote increased to 35 per cent from 30 per cent three years ago when he ran against current chancellor J. V. Clyne.

“The good thing is I haven’t been relegated to a sort of fringe candidate status,” he said.

Persky sa id running for chancellor is “strictly an uphill bat- tle,” and is one of the hardest elections in the world to win. “For three elections in a row, ttie worst

CFS referendum fails at Calgary to 1984, and CFS went on to win four other small campuses.

Alberta’s cold shoulder to student organizations is nothing new. In 1968 the U of A dealt a death blow when it dropped out of the Canadian Union of Students because the group was “too radical.”

Albertan students participated in

the Western Student Services formed one year after CSU’s demise, but it collapsed in 1972 $40,ooO in debt.

The National Union of Students, which lasted until 1981, could never get much support in Alberta because of its perceived radicalism. And the Federation of Alberta Students was effectively killed in late 1982 when the University of Calgary pulled out of the organization.

CFS, Canada’s newest version of the student movement, faces trouble in Alberta because it is perceived as leftist.

It faces the opposite problem this week, as University of Guelph students take their turn at voting on CFS membership. There the left- leaning student council is urging students to vote no because the federation is too moderate.

CALGARY (CUP) - Earlier this year it appeared Albertan students would reverse history and breath much-needed life into the Canadian Federation of Students, but last week the University of Calgary dealt a decisive blow that ended a five-in-arow winning streak for the federation.

Students voted 1,632 to 898 against joining CFS in a March 8 referendum. Although federation proponents never had high hopes the 16,OO&student campus would join the national student organization, the loss still serves to deflate the federation’s momentum.

“The no side talked about a lot of things that *ere not true, inac- curate, false,” charged Myles McDougall, a CFS supporter recently elected student society president.

“The university keeps its record as being. a consumate non-joiner,” he said.

The relatively quiet campaign saw a spark of controversy when Don Millar, Alberta’s representative on the CFS central committee, was caught ripping down “no to CFS” posters. Outgoing student society president Dave Singleton,

an ardent CFS opponent, says he saw Millar in action.

Doug Tarrence, CFS representative for the University of Calgary graduates, was also caught remov- ing posters.

Though Singleton was confident the no campaigners would win, he was surprised by the margin of victory. “I could say something like students know what they’re doing. I could say something stupid like that,” he said.

Ironically, it was Alberta’s other major university that started CFS on this year’s winning streak. The University of Alberta became the federation’s largest full member when students there voted 56 per cent in favor of joining in an Oc- tober referendum.

But students have since elected a new student society president who plans to run another referendum next fall. He wants to clear confu- sion caused when the October referendum was nearly overturned, and the new vote may kill CFS on that campus.

Federation members said the U of A victory gave momentum to CFS. The momentum continued in-

Women oppose attack on rights

By ROBERT BEYNON Women, men and children wav-

ing colorful banners snaked through Vancouver streets Saturday to commemorate International Women’s Day.

Pushing baby buggies and bicycles, the mainly female crowd of about 400 gathered in a semicir- cle at the foot of the Vancouver art gallery’s main entrance. The en- thusiastic group milled about the gallery’s large stone steps as it waited patiently for more women to arrive.

Activists peddling assorted publications wandered through the crowd. The television crews pushed their way up to the front of the rally to record the historic event, filming women smiling, greeting and hugg- ing each other.

A huge banner displayed by two women standing on the steps wished all the participants a happy Interna- tional Women’s day. It set the tone for what was to become an uplifting reminder of women’s strengths in a male oriented world.

The rally’s keynote speaker, who asked that her name not be used, told the crowd that women must fight the Social Credit government to protect their rights to live without fear and violence.

The government’s recent move to privatize Vancouver’s transition houses - retreats for battered women and their children - was a retreat from a commitment to feminist services and the women’s needs, said the woman who worked at one of the houses.

She said the government is also attacking the groups which service women, such as the women’s health collective, Vancouver Status of Women and native court workers. Women must demonstrate their op- position to these attacks now, she said.

Following her speech, one woman led the crowd in a song which she wrote in protest of the Socreds’ legislation.

No, they can ’t jusf take our j o h away not with us watching, No, they crm ’t just take our j o h awy. not with us fighting, No, they am ’t just take them ail mqv.

Other speakers and singers em- phasized the need for women to continue to fight for equality, peace, political influence and the liberation of people in El Salvador.

Cariboo closes women‘s centre KAMLOOPS, B.C. (CUP) -

The Women’s Access Centre at Cariboo College will close at the end of March, the centre’s employees learned on International ‘Wo- men’s Day - the day women celebrate gains for the women’s movement.

The centre which opened in 11979 during International Women’s Year is another victim of government restraint programs.

For the past five years a spwial government grant used to start the facility has decreased and the college has had to pick up the costs in its operating budget.

The college board voted March 6 to kill the service.

But centre employee Barb Co- lombo said in an interview Friday the original reasons for starting the centre are still here.

“There’s still a lot of work to do but all the support organizations that are doing the work are dissolv- ing.

All 64, including several southern Ontario students, were fined $75 each. Eleven defendants were also given one year’s probation.

Defendants argued it was their duty as Canadian citizens to oppose the manufacturing of cruise missile guidance systems. But justice of the peace Paul Chandhoke rejected all arguments offered by defence counsels Peter Rosenthal and Mike Smith during the four-day trial.

Rosenthal, a University of Toronto mathematician, quoted Section 197 of the Criminal Code, which states everyone must provide the necessities of life for a spouse and child. And he argued the Cana- dian Charter of Rights guarantees the “right of life and security of the

The Litton 64 contended their actions were necessary to prevent larger crimes, Rosenthal told the court: “It’s like seeing a murder being committed in someone’s backyafd, so you jump the fence to prevent the murder, then the murderer charges you with trespassing.”

On the day of the protest, some activists tried to speak to Litton management about converting its guidance system production to activity which would benefit society.

Other demonstrators attempted a citizen’s arrest of Litton president Ron Keating for violations of the Criminal Code. They cited Section 46, treason by sale of military

. . -

The court’s refusal to hear the testimony of several expert witnesses hampered the defence.

Those denied expert witness status included anti-war activist and author Philip Berregan, Rosalie Bertell, who testified at the Nuremberg tribunal, Ernie Regehr, a m industry researcher and jour- nalist, Frank Sommers, chair of Physicians for Social Responsibili- ty, and Hiroshima survivor Setsuko Thurlow.

The testimonies were expected to prove to the prosecution that Lit- ton’s production threatens society. Justice of the peace Chandhoke rul- ed the claims did “not relate to the charges before the.court.”

“They’ve made a very difficult decision and it’s going to take its toll on women’s education,” Co- lombo said. “That’s for certain.”

The centre counsels women on career plans. Many women return to college after raising children or start college late in life and need assistance and support, Colombo said.

And the decision to go to college often comes at a time when women must deal with problems like mari- tal breakup and limited finances, she said.

The centre reaches 300 women per month through courses and per- sonal counselling, she added, and has grown to be a recognized insti- tution in Kamloops.

But college principle Charles Brewster said Saturday the college faces a five per cent decrease in government funding next year and a funding formula which forces the college to maintain courses ahead of services.

If fewer students enrol because of course cuts the government will decrease operating funds under the formula, Brewster said.

“The choice was to close down courses or a support service,” he said.

‘There’s also a question in some people’s minds that it (WAC) was a duplication of other services,” Brewster said. He said women will still get counselling through the services offered all students.

“I appreciate the Women’s Ac- cess Centre has had an important role to play and we regret the loss of it,” Brewster said.

But Colombo criticized the decision and the government for not making women a priority.

“It’s a sentiment in administra- tions in general that women are be- coming a low priority.” she said. Colombo said she wasn’t surprised by the decision because it was in the college’s five year plan.

“I think it’s a shared responsibility (by the college and government). But it’s not the only thing to get cut at the college; there will be more.”

In 1979 the government set up five centres in B.C. at colleges to improve access to the institute.

Under a five-year plan, the amount of operating funds decreased annually from the government and the colleges made up the difference.

This year the centre got $lO,OOO from the special grant - the last of the five-year instalments.

ocmpatimm rlopv(n as warnid Students who occupied universities minister Pat McGeer’s Point

Grey constituency office last week said they succeeded in com- municating their concerns about education cutbacks in B.C.

One of the protesters, UBC law-student Bill Coller, said the occupation that ended Friday was aimed at publicizing the issue of education cutbacks and encouraging students to protest.

“We didn’t think this action itself would change the government. It served as a warning to the government, that students aren’t just subservient, flacid particles.”

Coller said public reaction was generally favorable. The occupation drew about 100 protesters during its four days.

He added some high school students who demonstrated “enthusiasm” and “political consciousness” joined in the occupation.

Press coverage of the occupation was generally poor, he added. “The press seemed to want a direct confrontation to develop. They don’t want to show there’s any activity among students,” Coller said.

Coller said some future protest actions are in the planning stages, adding civil disobedience may be involved. c d

This merely increases unemployment because some people are laid off and others are afraid to spend money. The Socreds fail to understand that spending fuels the recovery and creates jobs.

Unemployment in B.C. is now at a post depression high. Only two years ago, before the so-called recovery started, unemployment in B.C. was less than 10 per cent - now the unadjusted rate is about 15 per cent, or more than one in seven workers out of a job.

This is bad enough but it gets worse. B.C.'s young people now face a staggering unemployment rate of about 20 per cent.

The Socreds have introduced a band-aid program which will provide adequate employment only for a few students who manage tomake a decent living from their summer business.

The student -venture capital program provides a $2OOO interest free loan to students for the summer. It will act as a boon to the fortunate few and a pitfall to the desperate students who can't find jobs any other way.

Hart takes new direction By ROSS PINK

A classic presidential election is shaping up in the U.S. which will likely feature Gary Hart. But who is Gary Hart and why is former vice- president Walter Mondale saying all those terrible things about him?

Gary Hart is a liberal Democratic senator from Colorado who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. The Democratic nominee for president will be chosen this July at a convention in San Francisco.

Hart skyrocketed to national pro- minence after his dramatic victory over frontrunner Mondale in (last weeks) New Hampshire primary.

Hart is now touted to be a serious contender for the Democratic presidential nomination. Yet three weeks ago, his ratings in national pools stood at six per cent and his candidacy was given little chance of success.

In the volatile and superficial world of American primary politics, Hart's sudden rise to national pro- minence may appear to be only a temporary phenomenon. American political lore is replete with ex- amples of presidential aspirants who appeared destined for the White House one moment and the

next moment faded into political oblivion.

While other candidates may come and go, Gary Hart seems destined to play a major role in American politics.

In the weeks leading up to the Democratic convention, Gary Hart will be the man to watch. He will be the man to watch not simply because he is the current frontrun-

ner, but because he is a man of substance and style who is offering America a new generation of ideas and a new generation of leadership.

Hart was born in Ottawa, Kansas in 1936. After graduation from college he attended Yale University where he earned a degree in law.

Hart's keen political interest drew him into political activity. In 1960 he volunteered for the Ken- nedy presidential campaign. Twelve years later he managed Senator George McGovern's presidential campaign.

Though McGovern lost the 1972 campaign to Nixon, the campaign experience left Hart with valuable

Letters Socreds abandon agreement

On March 6, a coalition of con- prepared to bare the responsibility cerned students entered the Point for education, a responsibility Grey constituency office of Dr. Pat which is decreed in the Canadian McGeer, minister of universities, constitution. Instead, B.C.'s science and communications, and government has denied education commenced a sit-in to protest the any intrinsic value and defined ex- Social Credit government's education policy. After serious attempts See page 5: B.C. to communicate our grievances to the government were effectively dis- missed as trivial, and because the implications of the cutbacks in funding to post-secondary institutions will be so devastating for this province, students decided that the occupation and the establishment of a "free university" were warranted.

This gesture is primarily a sym- bolic one, a means of conveying the value and necessity of an education which is accessible to British Co- lumbians, regardless of their economic status. The media's presentation of our position has been select- ive at best and this letter is written to clarify any misconceptions which may have arisen.

Despite the federal government's increase of approximately eight per cent in funding to education, post- secondary institutions in this province are faced with a five per cent decrease. The Socreds have aban- doned their cost-sharing agreement with their federal counterparts unilaterally. Clearly, they are not

insights into the political system. In his 1973 book on the

McGovern campaign, Hart offered a critique of how a new generation of leadership could achieve power. "First, the forces of change and progress must organize themselves. Second, the organization must relate to people. All kinds of people. Third, to recapture power, the forces of change and progress must develop a new generation of leaders who can instill confidence and demonstrate competence."

Hart believes the U.S. is at the crossroads between change and stagnation. He believes the American people are ready for progressive change and that he is the man who is best qualified to lead them in this new direction. In his campaign for the nomination, Hart has continually stressed that he is the candidate of new ideas and progress. Hart has scored political points against Mondale by painting him as a mainstream traditional candidate.

Hart's tactics seem to be working. While Mondale is viewed as a decent and responsible candidate, Hart is gaining the image of a man on the move, a man with new ideas and new directions for America. By allowing Hart to portray himself as the candidate of the future, Mon- dale has hurt his chances for the nominations.

In 1973, Hart wrote that the "Democratic party, under penalty irrelevance and extinction, must bring forward a new generation of thinkers who are in touch with the real world and a new generation of leaders who can inspire enthusiasm, hope and energy in the people."

Hart has based his campaign on the theme of change and progress. On the campaign trail he is wooing younger voters with promises of a new morality in government, new ideas and a nuclear freeze.

While in the senate, Hart main- tained a progressive voting record. In some of the key senate votes of 1980, Hart opposed military draft registration and military aid to Nicaragua, he supported increased funding to the International Monetary Fund and the Interna- tional Development Bank, and he supported trimming defense funds to support social services.

In key 1981 senate votes Hart opposed the sale of the $8.5 billion Airborne Warning and Control System to the Saudis, he supported increased foreign aid and he supported a budget resolution aimed at reducing unemployment and balan- cing the federal deficit by 1984.

From page 4 penditures for post-secondary institutions as wasteful.

Such cutbacks have been justified b) invoking the current economic recession and this government's deficit. However, recently publiciz- ed evidence suggests that, in fact, the deficit has been grossly exagger- ated by the Socreds and that not all possible sources of revenue were taken into consideration when the budget was formulated. In light of such evidence, we find previous attempts to excuse cutbacks wholly unacceptable.

The Social Credit government continues to make vast expenditures which range from the frivolous, in the case of repainting Metro Transit buses, to the absurd, in the case of the sudden and unnecessary decision to subsidize B.C. Rail at a cost of $470 million. (The latter figure is almost twice that of the budget for education and seven times that of provincial government contribu- tions.) These are political choices; the Socreds do not consider the pro- vision of an adequate and accessible education (nor social services) to be a priority.

Ultimately, prospective students are faced with massive tuition fee increases (at UBC a projected 126 per cent increase over three years), cutbacks in faculty and staff, the re- duction of classes and programs, a centralization of institutions in the Lower Mainland (the David Thompson Centre University will close in April) and the abolition of the student grant program. (Many will carry a debt burden approach- ing $30,000.) For students from outside the Lower Mainland and Victoria and those who have and will continue to receive low in- comes, that debt will be particularly oppressive, precluding the possibil- ity of post-secondary education for many.

rived from 19th century economic theory. This laissez-faire individual- ism assumes that all people possess equal resources and abilitil-s with which to compete, and only the individual benefits directly from his or her education. But this is not the case; there is a vast dispa.rit1 of wealth in this province. Moreover B.C.'s whole social being reaps the fruits of an educated population. We will all suffer the effects o f these cutbacks.

This is a critical period lor British Columbians. Changes effected now will not be felt in their entirety for

are cuts that will not heal. On that basis, the coalition of corlcernetl students chose to occupy MI:Geer'.s office. Because the Social Credi:: government intends to deny Its people access to post-secondary institu- t ions , we opened a "fret: university."

We do not anticipate a serious response from the provincial govern.- ment but i f , through our actions., we can promote a critical awareness of the crisis in education, we wil! have succeeded.

For a cross cultural experience you'll never forget, join with hundreds of Canadians on an international summer project in Brazill. Sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ of Canada, AMAZON 84 will be an opportunity to present the good news of Jesus Christ to thousands of Brazilians.

Working in communities along the Amazon river, and providing food 81 water relief to communities in drought ridden northeast Brazil, project teams will work closely with Brazilian pastors, laymen & missionaries.

Key to the outreach will be the use of the film "Jesus." Now being shown around the world in 81 different languages, this visual presentation of Luke's gospel will be for many the first that they have ever heard & seen the complete life-story of Christ.

You are the key. For a summer with a purpose, join us at A M W O N 84 from May 26 to July 27. ...........................

established himself as an intelligent, creative and vigorous candidate. If nominated by the Democratic party in 1984, Hart will provide a clear and progressive alternative to the Reagan administration.

The Reagan years have not been without their failures. Reagan has not had a single success in foreign affairs. Relations with the Soviet Union are marked by increasing polemics. The administration's policies vis-a-vis the Middle East have failed.

Domest ical ly , the Reagan government has wracked up budget deficits greater than the ac- cumulated deficits of all his predecessors.

After four years of Reagan leadership, the American electorate may demand new ideas and new directions. If they do, Gary Hart will be the man to lead them. Ross Pink is one of a growing number of staffers with an avid interest in American politics.

PANG0 PANGO (UNS) - Hairy puce blorgs revolted early today against the American advisors stationed on their tiny island. Ad- visors Inane Nitwit and Gross Fink said the blorgs are upset over their decision to exile Ronald Reagan to the island in light of his probable defeat by Gary Hart. a

The two remaining matches were of little challenge to the powerful 'Birds. Willock recorded seven aces as the 'Birds glided to a 3-0 sweep of Waterloo, winning 15-4, 15-5, and 15-7. UBC also swept the best of five contest with Dalhousie. Willock recorded four aces as the 'Birds prevailed 15-8, 15-11. and 15-3 to qualify for the championship match with Manitoba.

Surprisingly, UBC did not record a single victory against the team which they had foiled in the national championship match the previous year. The Bisons won all three games by an identical score of

The Bisons gained revenge in more ways than one. Besides defeating the team which had taken the title from them in 1982-83, the Bisons won the national championship after finishing second three years in a row.
