force the UBC administration
to allow students on those
committees that grant tenure

| The AMS has instructed its
| lawyers to file for a declaration
Court, according to law stu-
dent Dave Van Blarcom.
- “The current tenure sys-
| tem, under which professors
| are hired, places an ‘undue
emphasis’ on research and
administrative involvement,’’
| said Van Blarcom.
““We have made every pos-
sible approach to the univer-

beginning in 1975, and we’ve
met with brick walls,’’ he

‘Partly its a certain arro-

‘‘Students are the only peo-
a ple who can competently eval-

the students aren’t competent

has failed,’’ he said.
Van Blarcom said the stu-
dent assembly last week voted
unanimously to take the court
action, which will be fought
| over a section of the Universi-
| ties Act that allows student
| representation in all proceed-
| ings of UNC’s faculty.
He also added that students
may’ have to deal with faculty
hostility in order to serve
successfully on the committee.

tuition increase in two years
this fall, probably after it
received a report from a
consulting firm hired to test
public opinion on tuition in-
creases. The firm is expected .
to report in November.
Shortall said the college
students will also be campaig-
ning for voting student repre-
sentation on college boards of
governors. Currently, he said,
no college boards have voting
student representatives.
The campaign will probably
include a province-wide petit-
ion demanding voting repre-
sentation, he said.
The students will also be
meeting with the Council of
Regents, the organization of
college governing boards, lat-
er this fall and are hoping for a
meeting with new Colleges
and Universities Minister
Bette Stephenson in late Oct-
ober or early November, he
said.
Shortall said the demands
the college students plan to
present to the council include:
- voting representation on
boards
- increased college funding to
prevent tuition increases.
- more support for French-
language instruction.
- student housing for colleges
in Southern Ontario. Current-
ly, no college south of Sudbury
is allowed to have student
housing.
- adequate athletic and recre-
ational facilities at all colleges.
- increased transferability of
core college courses.
- publication of the Council of
Regents’ recommendations to
the government. Currently,
only the minister of colleges
and universities sees the re-
commendations. -
to evaluate faculty
dents will be involved at the
college in the evaluation of
instructors, but not in their
hiring.
‘‘We had planned to use the
anti-calendar instead. This is
the most effective way of
getting good instructors. The
administration will look at this
to see whether or not students
are taking certain courses,’’
said Styffe.
The anti-calendar will be a
handbook of students evaluat-
ion of courses and instructors.
‘‘At the end of this semester
questionnaires will go out to
students so they can evaluate
their courses. Maybe this can
be printed up for the spring
semester. It will definitely be
done for next fall,’’ stated
Walt van der Kamp, vice-pre-
sident external.
He added, ‘‘We’ll do our
anti-calendar as soon as SFU
goes ahead with theirs. Then
we can use their computer
program and it won’t cost so
much.”’
Students boycott for union
TORONTO (CUP)----Students
at York University are plan-
ning a mass boycott of classes
Thursday to continue their
pressure on the university
administration to settle with a
striking support staffunion. .
Two student strike support
committees, which are already
staging a sit-in on the ninth
floor of the university’s admi-
nistration building, have deci-
ded to organize the boycott in
conjunction with college stu-
dent councils.
According to spokesperson
Robert McMaster, the stu-
dents decided this weekend to
hold the boycott and are
currently negotiating with col-
lege councils for their support.
He said they had not yet
gained the formal support of
the York Students Federation.
Federation representatives
were not available for com-
ment at press time.
The exact details of the
boycott would be worked’ out
at a general assembly Monday
night, he said. He expected it
would include interviewing at
a special senate meeting
Thursday which will discusss
the student demands.
Their major demand is that
the administration return to
the bargaining table and ne-
gotiate in good faith to end the
strike. Both parties were sup-
posed to resume talks Mon-
day, under the supervision of
the provincial mediator, but
no details of the talks were
available by press time.
When asked whether the
talks would quickly end the .
strike, union spokesperson.
Wendy Iler said it was a
““good sign’’ that there were
talks but that, unless the
university was willing to raise
its wage offer, there would be
no settlement.
The university is currently
offering 4 per cent, while the
union is requesting 9 per cent
to keep up with inflation. The
university, however, has said
it cannot afford to give more
than 4 per cent without cutting
staff positions, services, and

Chemistry lab to
_ be investigated
by Keith Baldrey
An investigation into safety
standards at the New West-
minster campus chemistry lab
will probably be launched
soon, according to Andy An-
drews, campus vice-principal.
Andrews is worried that
possibly hazardous materials
are not being stored properly.
-He is also concerned about the
transport of these materials
between campuses.
“I am looking into the
situation,’’ said Andrews.
‘It’s a serious problem and it
would give us a black mark if
anything went wrong.”’
Andrews stated there is not
much existing danger at the
moment, and stressed the
importance of reviewing and
improving the present safety
practices.
““‘We should do something
to make it better,’’ he said.
“We've also got problems
with the courier service.”
Andrews cited a recent
example. He said a container
broke open while in transit
and the chemical crystallized.
There was no immediate dan-
“ger and the problem. was
handled without any difficulty.
Other members of Douglas
College welcomed the news of
an investigation. ‘‘It’s a good
idea,’’ said Bill Reid, chemis-
try convenor. ‘‘It should check
into the courier to see if he’s
licensed and things like that.”’
Reid said the chemicals’
main danger was the chance of
causing a fire. ‘‘A lot of them
are flammable, things like
acetone and ether. They’re
called ‘organic solvents,’’ he
said.
He is concerned about the
containers that store the
chemicals. ‘‘They’re not ven-
ted to the outside,’’ he said.
‘‘The fire-explosion cabinet is
not vented and that presents a
potential problem.’’ Reid said
the college had been debating’
for some time whether or not
to buy another container.
Leo Hungle, head of the
college’s industrial and safety
committee, was also pleased
that an investigation will be
started.
‘‘We discussed the problem
at the safety committee’s last
meeting,’’ Hungle said. ‘‘It
(the investigation) will be a
review of existing procedures
to ensure all safety precaut-
ions are being met.’’
Hungle said there is an
inspection about four times a
year and he was sure that
most reasonable precautions
were already being taken.

The biggest problem in
re-designing public policy and
_ adopting new societal habits is
that people cannot always
agree upon the details for the
new pattern. A solution may
be to design a new policy
around consensus. This would
involve picking a number of
points which we can all agree
on’ and changing the more
complex details as best we
can. Any exploration of new
territory will inevitably involve
some problems, but it will be
easier to solve these problems
as they arise rather than
acting when it is too late.
Frequently governments
_ are overtaken by events. This
appears to be happening in

public awareness of the un-
necessary impediments to the
implementation of renewable
energy increases, pressure on
our public officials will arise.
It is likely that increasing
public opinion will soon en-
courage our governments to
clear the path for a renewable
energy future. :
The current ‘state of the art’
in solar energy research is
such that there need not be
any delay in the use of this
technology. The number of
successful working examples
in Canada covers most concei-
vable combinations of collect-
ion and storage systems.
Work is underway to docu-
ment the mistakes from which
pioneers have learned to so
that they need not be repeat-
ed.
The fundamental area of
concern for many of the people
involved in solar research is
the development of ‘appro-
priate levels of technology’.
Basically, this means that we
must become very selective in
our choice of solar heating
systems for specific applicat-
‘ions. For example we must
determine what type ot system
will fill the requirements of
the typical single family |
house. We must develop ener-
gy conservative. houses with
passive solar heating, both of
which can be cost effective
even when one uses our highly
subsidized traditional energy
sources as a comparison. This
type of house requires a much
smaller and more efficient
active solar system.
To date the majority of the
solar energy research in can-
ada has centered around the
development of effective sys-
tems and not in determing
their appropriate applications.
It would appear that many
people are now starting to
explore this new ground.
Hopefully, assistance will be
made available for research in
this field as it is a necessary
step in our path to energy
self-sufficiency.
Solar energy
With all the concern for
energy conservation, it seems
surprising that more energy
efficient alternatives such as
solar energy are not being
actively employed.
Up until now there have
been no government incen-
tives to encourage people to
invest in solar energy. How-
ever, a brighter day is dawn-
ing for the Canadian solar
energy industry. The Canad-
ian government hopes to do
something about the lack of
solar information and mater-
ials.
The federal government is
implementing a solar energy
program which will become
effective at the beginning of
1979. To improve the econo-
my, Ottawa is committing
$140 million to develop solar
energy over a five year period
between 1979 and 1984. Ac-
cording to Alastair Gillespie
(Minister of Energy, Mines
and Resources) the program
has numerous benefits. It will
create 15,000 man-years of
technology |
employment between 1979
and 1984. That is, it will create
15,000 jobs for one year or
3,000 jobs for each of the five
years the program is in opera-
tion. Solar energy will be a
viable alternative to home
heating by the mid-1980’s.
This is due to future housing
starts and expected rise in
costs of non-renewable energy
resources. It is also anticipa-
ted that the future Canadian
market sales in solar equip-
ment (a domestic industry)
will be between $400-800 mil-
lion by 1990. In view of these
foreseeable benefits, govern-
ment support is timely and
will be well received.
Daily energy sources are health risks
Many of the energy sources
we use daily involve consider-
able environmental hazards
and health risks. Oil explorat-
ion and the pipelines that
bring us that fuel have upset
the delicate balance of our
northern ecosystems. Hydro
dams can fail, drastically after
the landscape, and often force
the local populations to seek
new sources of livelihood.
Coal fired generating stations
cause emissions of sulphur
dioxide and toxic oxides of
nitrogen which bring severe
health problems (and occas-
ionally death) to thousands of
people each year. Disregard-
ing these critical problems we
have continued to zealously
consume our nonrenewable
resources until we presently
find ourselves requiring more
and more energy. Nuclear
power has been considered
the alternative.
Canada got into the nuclear
game in the 1940’s offering
two valuble resources: 1)
sanctuary for experimentation
and development, and 2) the
Eldorado gold mines which’
contain the largest source of
uranium outside of the Bel-
gian Congo. Canada currently
ranks sixth among the world’s
nations in the production of
nuclear generated electric
energy. Presently 5 per cent of
our total electric consumption
is nuclear, generated primar-
ily in Northern Ontario. If
present trends continue our
nuclear generating capacity
will double over the next five
years and may supply 40 per
cent of Canada’s electric re-
quirements by the year 2000.
Our electrical consumption
grows at a rate of 7 per cent
each year while our standard
of living does not increase
proportionately. Swedes, Nor-
wegians and West Germans
enjoy a standard of | living
comparable to ours with only
half the energy consumption.
Put simply--we could get by
with less. Nuclear energy is
not inevitable and alternative
energy systems should be
assessed.
The debate over the future
of nuclear power involves
economic, social, political, and
ethical issues which deeply
concern all people, and for
that matter all living things.
The high financial costs of
nuclear power stations are
becoming increasingly evi-
dent.
Canada has spent nearly 30
years and 1.4 billion dollars in
developing the CANDU react-
or and evidently it has not yet
been perfected. Repairing the
leaks discovered in the two
Pickering reactors in-1974 cost
over 300 million dollars.
The hidden costs are not so
obvious. First there is the
management and storage of
long-term radioactive reactor
wastes. In 1973 the Union of
Concerned Scientists stated
that the disposal of atomic
waste is, ‘‘dubious in concept,
not technically feasible, nor
inadequately supported by
technical studies.’’ If even a
small percentage of this car-
cinogenic and mutagenic mat-
erial escapes to the outside
environment the results could
‘be catastrophic, There would
be déaths--both immediate
and long-term, especially in-
fant and foetal. The radioact-
ive plutonium causes cancers,
tumours, and leukemia. The
genetic mutations would occur
for generations following the
event. If that is insufficient
there would be extensive wat-
er and land contamination
resulting in mass evacuation
of the human population and
total extermination of other
life to minimize poisoning the
food-chain. Even with intense
cleanup and decontamination
efforts the land could not be
used for decades. The cost of
attempted repair for such an
accident would be hundred of
billions of dollars. This figure
does not include the value of
life. Is the risk worth it?
According to Amory Lovins
(energy policy advisor to
Prime Minister Trudeau) if the
expansion of nuclear power
plants does occur there'll be
thousands of pounds of highly
dangerous plutonium being
shipped back and forth, ‘‘in an
economy that still can’t control
the heroin trade.”’
Secondly there are implica-
tions for socio-political struct-
ures in Canada if a small and
powerful technocratic elite
emerges to control such a
strategically vital aspect of our
nation. The issues are ulti-
mately political and value
judgements will have to be
made.
Can the world manage the
potential catastrophic impli- |
cations of nuclear proliferat-
ion? The proponents of nu-
clear power argue that CAN-
DU technology is proven,
available now, safe, and inex-
pensive when compared to
currently viable alternatives.
Nuclear power does generate
electricity today, but is safety
and cost are totally dispropor-
tionate to its contribution. To
quote the founder of the
CANDU safety design, ‘‘the
operation of a nuclear reactor
is inherently dangerous and
can only be made safe by
correct technology. If, there-
fore, absolute safety is requi-
red, the reactor should not be
made.’’ Nuclear power reactos
are immensely complex
machines in which things can
go wrong in millions of differ-
ent ways. There are viable
alternatives to our present
energy consumption. Energy
conservation measures can
seriously be put into effect as
a major means of avoiding a
nuclear committment. We also
have a continual supply of
energy from the sun, wind,
and water. Although these
alternatives may not be feas-
ible in all situations their
encouraged growth and use
combined with a realistic atti-
tude towards energy con-
. sumption can help to solve our
present energy problems.

such that there need not be
any delay in the use of this
technology. The number of
successful working examples
in Canada covers most concei-
vable combinations of collect-
ion and storage systems.
Work is underway to docu-
ment the mistakes from which
pioneers have learned to so
that they need not be repeat-
ed.
The fundamental area of
concern for many of the people
involved in solar research is
the development of ‘appro-
priate levels of technology’.
Basically, this means that we
must become very selective in
our choice of solar heating
systems for specific applicat-
‘ions. For example we must
determine what type ot system
will fill the requirements of
the typical single family |
house. We must develop ener-
gy conservative. houses with
passive solar heating, both of
which can be cost effective
even when one uses our highly
subsidized traditional energy
sources as a comparison. This
type of house requires a much
smaller and more efficient
active solar system.
To date the majority of the
solar energy research in can-
ada has centered around the
development of effective sys-
tems and not in determing
their appropriate applications.
It would appear that many
people are now starting to
explore this new ground.
Hopefully, assistance will be
made available for research in
this field as it is a necessary
step in our path to energy
self-sufficiency.
Solar energy
With all the concern for
energy conservation, it seems
surprising that more energy
efficient alternatives such as
solar energy are not being
actively employed.
Up until now there have
been no government incen-
tives to encourage people to
invest in solar energy. How-
ever, a brighter day is dawn-
ing for the Canadian solar
energy industry. The Canad-
ian government hopes to do
something about the lack of
solar information and mater-
ials.
The federal government is
implementing a solar energy
program which will become
effective at the beginning of
1979. To improve the econo-
my, Ottawa is committing
$140 million to develop solar
energy over a five year period
between 1979 and 1984. Ac-
cording to Alastair Gillespie
(Minister of Energy, Mines
and Resources) the program
has numerous benefits. It will
create 15,000 man-years of
technology |
employment between 1979
and 1984. That is, it will create
15,000 jobs for one year or
3,000 jobs for each of the five
years the program is in opera-
tion. Solar energy will be a
viable alternative to home
heating by the mid-1980’s.
This is due to future housing
starts and expected rise in
costs of non-renewable energy
resources. It is also anticipa-
ted that the future Canadian
market sales in solar equip-
ment (a domestic industry)
will be between $400-800 mil-
lion by 1990. In view of these
foreseeable benefits, govern-
ment support is timely and
will be well received.
Daily energy sources are health risks
Many of the energy sources
we use daily involve consider-
able environmental hazards
and health risks. Oil explorat-
ion and the pipelines that
bring us that fuel have upset
the delicate balance of our
northern ecosystems. Hydro
dams can fail, drastically after
the landscape, and often force
the local populations to seek
new sources of livelihood.
Coal fired generating stations
cause emissions of sulphur
dioxide and toxic oxides of
nitrogen which bring severe
health problems (and occas-
ionally death) to thousands of
people each year. Disregard-
ing these critical problems we
have continued to zealously
consume our nonrenewable
resources until we presently
find ourselves requiring more
and more energy. Nuclear
power has been considered
the alternative.
Canada got into the nuclear
game in the 1940’s offering
two valuble resources: 1)
sanctuary for experimentation
and development, and 2) the
Eldorado gold mines which’
contain the largest source of
uranium outside of the Bel-
gian Congo. Canada currently
ranks sixth among the world’s
nations in the production of
nuclear generated electric
energy. Presently 5 per cent of
our total electric consumption
is nuclear, generated primar-
ily in Northern Ontario. If
present trends continue our
nuclear generating capacity
will double over the next five
years and may supply 40 per
cent of Canada’s electric re-
quirements by the year 2000.
Our electrical consumption
grows at a rate of 7 per cent
each year while our standard
of living does not increase
proportionately. Swedes, Nor-
wegians and West Germans
enjoy a standard of | living
comparable to ours with only
half the energy consumption.
Put simply--we could get by
with less. Nuclear energy is
not inevitable and alternative
energy systems should be
assessed.
The debate over the future
of nuclear power involves
economic, social, political, and
ethical issues which deeply
concern all people, and for
that matter all living things.
The high financial costs of
nuclear power stations are
becoming increasingly evi-
dent.
Canada has spent nearly 30
years and 1.4 billion dollars in
developing the CANDU react-
or and evidently it has not yet
been perfected. Repairing the
leaks discovered in the two
Pickering reactors in-1974 cost
over 300 million dollars.
The hidden costs are not so
obvious. First there is the
management and storage of
long-term radioactive reactor
wastes. In 1973 the Union of
Concerned Scientists stated
that the disposal of atomic
waste is, ‘‘dubious in concept,
not technically feasible, nor
inadequately supported by
technical studies.’’ If even a
small percentage of this car-
cinogenic and mutagenic mat-
erial escapes to the outside
environment the results could
‘be catastrophic, There would
be déaths--both immediate
and long-term, especially in-
fant and foetal. The radioact-
ive plutonium causes cancers,
tumours, and leukemia. The
genetic mutations would occur
for generations following the
event. If that is insufficient
there would be extensive wat-
er and land contamination
resulting in mass evacuation
of the human population and
total extermination of other
life to minimize poisoning the
food-chain. Even with intense
cleanup and decontamination
efforts the land could not be
used for decades. The cost of
attempted repair for such an
accident would be hundred of
billions of dollars. This figure
does not include the value of
life. Is the risk worth it?
According to Amory Lovins
(energy policy advisor to
Prime Minister Trudeau) if the
expansion of nuclear power
plants does occur there'll be
thousands of pounds of highly
dangerous plutonium being
shipped back and forth, ‘‘in an
economy that still can’t control
the heroin trade.”’
Secondly there are implica-
tions for socio-political struct-
ures in Canada if a small and
powerful technocratic elite
emerges to control such a
strategically vital aspect of our
nation. The issues are ulti-
mately political and value
judgements will have to be
made.
Can the world manage the
potential catastrophic impli- |
cations of nuclear proliferat-
ion? The proponents of nu-
clear power argue that CAN-
DU technology is proven,
available now, safe, and inex-
pensive when compared to
currently viable alternatives.
Nuclear power does generate
electricity today, but is safety
and cost are totally dispropor-
tionate to its contribution. To
quote the founder of the
CANDU safety design, ‘‘the
operation of a nuclear reactor
is inherently dangerous and
can only be made safe by
correct technology. If, there-
fore, absolute safety is requi-
red, the reactor should not be
made.’’ Nuclear power reactos
are immensely complex
machines in which things can
go wrong in millions of differ-
ent ways. There are viable
alternatives to our present
energy consumption. Energy
conservation measures can
seriously be put into effect as
a major means of avoiding a
nuclear committment. We also
have a continual supply of
energy from the sun, wind,
and water. Although these
alternatives may not be feas-
ible in all situations their
encouraged growth and use
combined with a realistic atti-
tude towards energy con-
. sumption can help to solve our
present energy problems.

Radioactive cua:
in Surrey
by Bill Burnham
A citizen’s group in Surrey
has undertaken ‘‘direct act-
ion’’ to have 85 tons of
radioactive waste removed
from land adjacent to Canad-
ian National Railway yards.
The Concerned Citizens for
the Removal of Radioactive
Waste from Surrey set up a
picket line blocking the road to.
the CN yards in an attempt to
prevent the union workers
from crossing, a couple of
weeks ago.
The road blockade was re-
moved when a Labour Relat-
ions representative told the
workers that an injunction
would be issued classifying
the workers’ refusal to cross
the picket line as an illegal
work stoppage.
Cyril Barkved, chairperson
of the citizen’s ad hoc com-
mittee, said the RCMP infor-
med him that blockading the
road was illegal. ‘“‘When it

ion of our health and property

Barkved.
Barkved said he had gone
before the Surrey Municipal
Council in August with a
petition of over 600 names
demanding the immediate
removal of the material.
In his address to council, he
said ‘‘the material is a danger
to health and property and the
material should be moved
immediately to a safe and
secure location. We do not
want Surrey to become the
dumping grounds for radio-
active material.’’
Surrey Mayor Bill Vogel
informed the group that it
would take up to two months
for the Atomic Energy Control
Board (AECB) to find a suit-
able disposal site.
For three years the waste
has been stored in 300 barrels
on a lot at 116th Street and
137th Avenue. Ernie Faessler
owner of the property, said the
barrels were left by Fundy
Chemical International Ltd. of
Winnipeg when they closed
their plant in Surrey.
It has been speculated that
Fundy Chemical originally
purchased the radioactive
waste from South America, as
an investment.
The president of local 226 of
the Canadian Brotherhood of
Railway Transport and Gen-
eral Workers, said the men
are concerned about working
next to the dump and that they
fear the accummulative effects
of exposure to radioactivity.
Dr. Wayne Green, head of
the Radiation Protection
branch of the Ministry of
Health, said the emission of
radon gas is very low. He
calculated that a person would
have to lie on the slag for eight
hours a day to be exposed to
levels over the accepted max-
imum.
Since the road blockade,
said Barkved, the United
Church, SPEC, B.C. Wildlife,
B.C. Federation of Labour,
and the New Westminster
District Labour Council, have
taken an interest in the issue.
“We're going to keep the
matter before the public with
blockades, information pic-
kets, and whatever else it
takes,’’ he said.

over $50 in Quebec,”’ she said.
There is a lack of lottery
information, said Campagno-
la. ‘‘Our purchases are mainly
in the middle to upper-income
classes. So it is not a case of
lotteries making money off the
poor.”’ ‘
She said if a province did
not want Loto Canada tickets
distributed her ministry would
move operations out of the
province.
Lotteries have become a
major business, with increas-
ingly enormous annual reven-
ues.
“Last year Loto Canada
grossed $700 million and we
hope to increase that to over
$1 billion as of next year.”’
The huge Olympic Games
deficit swallows 82.5 per cent
of Loto Canada’s revenue,
while 12.5 per cent goes to the
provinces, and five per cent to
the Ministry of Fitness and
Sport, Campagnola said.
Radioactive cua:
in Surrey
by Bill Burnham
A citizen’s group in Surrey
has undertaken ‘‘direct act-
ion’’ to have 85 tons of
radioactive waste removed
from land adjacent to Canad-
ian National Railway yards.
The Concerned Citizens for
the Removal of Radioactive
Waste from Surrey set up a
picket line blocking the road to.
the CN yards in an attempt to
prevent the union workers
from crossing, a couple of
weeks ago.
The road blockade was re-
moved when a Labour Relat-
ions representative told the
workers that an injunction
would be issued classifying
the workers’ refusal to cross
the picket line as an illegal
work stoppage.
Cyril Barkved, chairperson
of the citizen’s ad hoc com-
mittee, said the RCMP infor-
med him that blockading the
road was illegal. ‘“‘When it
becomes a choice between
Man’s law and the preservat-
ion of our health and property

looR complete, dont leave out
going to have to bend,’’ said
Barkved.
Barkved said he had gone
before the Surrey Municipal
Council in August with a
petition of over 600 names
demanding the immediate
removal of the material.
In his address to council, he
said ‘‘the material is a danger
to health and property and the
material should be moved
immediately to a safe and
secure location. We do not
want Surrey to become the
dumping grounds for radio-
active material.’’
Surrey Mayor Bill Vogel
informed the group that it
would take up to two months
for the Atomic Energy Control
Board (AECB) to find a suit-
able disposal site.
For three years the waste
has been stored in 300 barrels
on a lot at 116th Street and
137th Avenue. Ernie Faessler
owner of the property, said the
barrels were left by Fundy
Chemical International Ltd. of
Winnipeg when they closed
their plant in Surrey.
It has been speculated that
Fundy Chemical originally
purchased the radioactive
waste from South America, as
an investment.
The president of local 226 of
the Canadian Brotherhood of
Railway Transport and Gen-
eral Workers, said the men
are concerned about working
next to the dump and that they
fear the accummulative effects
of exposure to radioactivity.
Dr. Wayne Green, head of
the Radiation Protection
branch of the Ministry of
Health, said the emission of
radon gas is very low. He
calculated that a person would
have to lie on the slag for eight
hours a day to be exposed to
levels over the accepted max-
imum.
Since the road blockade,
said Barkved, the United
Church, SPEC, B.C. Wildlife,
B.C. Federation of Labour,
and the New Westminster
District Labour Council, have
taken an interest in the issue.
“We're going to keep the
matter before the public with
blockades, information pic-
kets, and whatever else it
takes,’’ he said.

Robert Weber plays the

OTTAWA (CUP)--The Ontario
Council on University Affairs
has recommended closing-
several colleges and the part-
ial merger of several universi-
ties as a remedy for plummet-
ing enrollment and revenues.
The report also forecasts a
reduction of 1350 faculty by
1982 to compensate for an
expected $104 million shortfall
in revenues.
The council, a group of
university administrators
which advises the Ontario
education ministry, commiss-
ioned the report at the request
of the province’s 15 universi-
ties.
Unless the decline in arts
and science students is check-
ed, the council said, the
University of Toronto might
heve to close its satellite
colleges, Erindale and Scar-
borough, and York it’s Glen-
don College.
If closing the three colleges
suggested modifying their

' Enrollment drop threatens
Ontario colleges
affect the University of Ottawa
and Carleton University and
Wilfred Laurier University
and the University of Water-
loo.
-John Porter, Carleton’s
academic vice-president, said
such a merger could eventual-
ly lead to the creation of a
single university in Ottawa,
which might pose problems.
“‘The University of Ottawa
thinks of itself as a bilingual
institution and would want to
maintain its identity,’’ he
said. The merger of the arts
and sciences faculties would
not save much money, he
added.
Likewise, Wilfred Laurier
president Neale Taylor said
there was ‘‘nothing to be
gained in merging our arts
and science faculty with the
University of Waterloo.
The council also proposed
eliminating honours programs
in areas in which enrollment
has fallen, such as mathema:
tics and the physical sciences.
Arts and science faculties
should also avoid building un
ixed resources, especially:
tenured faculty, it said.”
To do so, a university with
many affiliated colleges would
have to be reorganized.
For -xample, it said, Laur-
entian University in Sudbury
and its member colleges could
be integrated into a university
of northern Ontario with sev-
eral campuses. Faculty would
be assigned and courses of-
fered according to regional
needs.
Miriam Edelson, chairper-
son of the Ontario Federation
of Students, said the council
report turns ‘‘a blind eye to
students and a deal ear to
universities.”’
‘The white paper...is noth-
ing more than an endorsement
of the concept of undereduca-
tion in Ontario,’ she said.

According to a club member,
they do not have photos of all

they felt the RCMP wanted
the photos for possible identi-

October 3, 1978
How soon we forget. It seems years ago that thé main topic
of conversation concerned the nefarious activities of our own
defenders of ‘‘peace, order and good government’’-the °
RCMP.
I can hear the groans from here. Why does this jerk want to
bring that up again? Wasn’t that all resolved about a year
ago when the federal government quashed the upstart
Keable Commission and appointed the McDonald Commiss-
ion to investigate these self-same protectors of the public
interest?.
You didn’t know that there were ¢wo commissions, did
you? The Keable Commission, set up by the Quebec
government to investigate RCMP crime in that province, was
shut down by the courts, supposedly because it was trying to
exceed the powers alloted to the provinces under the
constitution. However, in my opinion, they were too efficient.
They were obviously making a lot of politicians and senior
civil servants in Ottawa very nervous.
An inquiry commissioned by Ottawa would be easier to
control and also much easier to prolong until everyone had
forgotten the whole sordid mess. Thus, if the results of the
inquiry are inconclusive and the recommendations are mere
platitudes-who will be concerned enough to object? ,
With this in mind, the government launched the Royal
Commission and sent it across Canada to dig up dirt on the
RCMP.
An initial spurt of interest was generated by different
briefs that were presented to the commission during its tour
across the country but then the public seemed to lose
interest. The politicians breathed a sigh of relief and the
McDonald commission settled down to the tedious and,
admittedly, bizarre job of investigating the crimes of the
people who investigate crimes.
The commission’s findings, which are reported in the daily
press, are incredible. The stories dealing with the testimony —
are usually buried near the back of the paper, next to the ©
item about how to make delicious granola-date-hamburger _
squares for your kids lunch.’
I don’t feel that this is the proper place for this kind of
story. Many of them should be on the funny page. Perhaps
they could just skip any coverage during the week and put all
the articles in with the full-color comics in the Saturday
edition. That way even the kids, who don’t normally read
such articles, could get a good laugh too.
The most interesting item to come out lately involves the
testimony of RCMP Cpl. Bernard Dubuc. Bernie’s testimony
states something to the effect that he wasn’t really stealing
when he stole some dynamite for the RCMP, he was just
doing his duty. The dynamite, which was going to be used to
‘neutralize a terrorist’’, was stolen by Dubuc and another
officer from a storage shed on a construction site. My god, if
that isn’t as hilarious as ‘‘Tumbleweeds’’, I just don’t know
what is. z
One particularly precocious group of federal gendarmes,
known affectionately as ‘‘the dirty tricks squad’’, is
responsible for actions ‘‘not acceptable elsewhere in the
force’? such as. kidnappings, burning barns. and other

How soon we forget. It seems years ago that thé main topic

I can hear the groans from here. Why does this jerk want to
bring that up again? Wasn’t that all resolved about a year
ago when the federal government quashed the upstart
Keable Commission and appointed the McDonald Commiss-
ion to investigate these self-same protectors of the public
interest?.
You didn’t know that there were ¢wo commissions, did
you? The Keable Commission, set up by the Quebec
government to investigate RCMP crime in that province, was
shut down by the courts, supposedly because it was trying to
exceed the powers alloted to the provinces under the
constitution. However, in my opinion, they were too efficient.
They were obviously making a lot of politicians and senior
civil servants in Ottawa very nervous.
An inquiry commissioned by Ottawa would be easier to
control and also much easier to prolong until everyone had
forgotten the whole sordid mess. Thus, if the results of the
inquiry are inconclusive and the recommendations are mere
platitudes-who will be concerned enough to object? ,
With this in mind, the government launched the Royal
Commission and sent it across Canada to dig up dirt on the
RCMP.
An initial spurt of interest was generated by different
briefs that were presented to the commission during its tour
across the country but then the public seemed to lose
interest. The politicians breathed a sigh of relief and the
McDonald commission settled down to the tedious and,
admittedly, bizarre job of investigating the crimes of the
people who investigate crimes.

press, are incredible. The stories dealing with the testimony —
are usually buried near the back of the paper, next to the ©

I don’t feel that this is the proper place for this kind of

they could just skip any coverage during the week and put all
the articles in with the full-color comics in the Saturday
edition. That way even the kids, who don’t normally read
such articles, could get a good laugh too.
The most interesting item to come out lately involves the
testimony of RCMP Cpl. Bernard Dubuc. Bernie’s testimony
states something to the effect that he wasn’t really stealing
when he stole some dynamite for the RCMP, he was just
doing his duty. The dynamite, which was going to be used to
‘neutralize a terrorist’’, was stolen by Dubuc and another
officer from a storage shed on a construction site. My god, if

Dear Editor:
I have read your paper now
for the last two years. During
that time I have written sever-
al letters to you and have had
numerous discussions over the
phone with some of your staff.
First of all, I see from last
issue that the infamous ‘‘Con-
dom Ad”’ has returned to mar
your pages. This ad is in
particularly bad taste and
should not be run again.
Prophylactics should be dis-
cussed between two consent-
ing adults, not on page two of
a student newspaper.
I am also alarmed at the lack
of sports coverage you give
our fine college teams. What-
ever happened to that fine
sports writer Barry Jacques?
It is time you gave our athletes
more credit.
Concerning the content of
your paper’s stories, I feel
there has been too much
emphasis on student politics
I hope my comments will
not be shrugged off this time
by your staff. The time has
come for you people to shape
up, or be ‘“‘shipped out’’ by

e Energy and unemployment
energy scarcity will influence
the nature of the workplace in
the future. Many energy in-
tensive industries (which are
usually capital intensive) will
become obsolete as energy
costs continue to climb.
‘There must be a shift to job
intensive industries and away:
from capital intensive indust-
ries which require large
amounts of energy’’ says John
Eleen, director of research for
the Ontario Federation ot
Labour.
Capital invested in energy
intensive activities will pro-
duce less employment than if
it were invested in any other
renewable alternative. One
calculation shows that a given
amount of capital would pro-
duce 2-4 times as many jobs if
invested in solar energy rather
than electricity generation.
Another calculation done is
that investment in energy
conservation would produce 3
times as many jobs as the
same invested in nuclear pow-
er, which is capital intensive.
This number of jobs would
alone wipe out our labour
surplus. It is energy conser-
vation and not energy con-
sumption that will increase
employment in Canada.
Conserve energy in the
Remember, by maintaining an
even temperature in the house
you will save on fuel, as it
takes more energy to raise the
temperature of the house than
it does to keep it there.
Running a close second, in
terms of energy consumption
for heating, is the hot water
heater. Whether yours is
heated by gas or electricity
makes little difference, there
are still substantial savings to
be made by using a little
conscious effort. For example,
leaky faucets, half-loads of
wash (dishes too), everynight
baths, and just simple waste
into the sewers can cost the
homeowner dollars that could
be better spent on something
else. If you’heat your water by
gas there’s also the matter of
maintaining that it doesn’t
waste gas like your furnace

jobs. The Science Council of
Canada has estimated that a
concerted solar heating devel-
opment program would result
in the creation of 100,000 new
jobs by 1990. Further estimat-
es show that by 1990, 60,000
jobs in the wood-based meth-
anol industry (biomass) would
be created, and another 7,000
jobs in wind generation indus-
tries. Since many other re-
newable options are available
for development, such as the
recycling processes involved
in recycling paper, metals,
glass and bottles, it is possible
and probable that a large
number of jobs can be created
in renewable energy indust-

Once we are convinced of
the need to conserve, it is
important that we start look-
ing for ways to do our part ona
personal basis. The home is
probably the best place to
start, seeing as a large portion
of the pay check is invested
into it, or into the energy that
is used within it. Three areas
of high energy consumption
are space heating, water heat-
ing and electrical appliances.
The first step towards con-
serving those dollars through
efficiency should be to ensure
that the furnace is running up
to specifications. Adjusting
flame heights, cleaning gas
jets and flues, replacing fil-
ters, and proper ventilation
should assure you that you are
not burning any unnecessary
gas. Now it is up to the
condition ,of the house as to
whether or not you waste the
heat produced.
A properly insulated home
will require less fuel to heat
and will be more comfortable
to live in. If you are experien-
cing drafts, unevenly heated
areas, or poor heat retention,
this is a sure sign that you’re
wasting those heating dollars.

e Energy and unemployment
energy scarcity will influence
the nature of the workplace in
the future. Many energy in-
tensive industries (which are
usually capital intensive) will
become obsolete as energy
costs continue to climb.
‘There must be a shift to job
intensive industries and away:
from capital intensive indust-
ries which require large
amounts of energy’’ says John
Eleen, director of research for
the Ontario Federation ot
Labour.
Capital invested in energy
intensive activities will pro-
duce less employment than if
it were invested in any other
renewable alternative. One
calculation shows that a given
amount of capital would pro-
duce 2-4 times as many jobs if
invested in solar energy rather
than electricity generation.
Another calculation done is
that investment in energy
conservation would produce 3
times as many jobs as the
same invested in nuclear pow-
er, which is capital intensive.
This number of jobs would
alone wipe out our labour
surplus. It is energy conser-
vation and not energy con-
sumption that will increase
employment in Canada.
Conserve energy in the
Remember, by maintaining an
even temperature in the house
you will save on fuel, as it
takes more energy to raise the
temperature of the house than
it does to keep it there.
Running a close second, in
terms of energy consumption
for heating, is the hot water
heater. Whether yours is
heated by gas or electricity
makes little difference, there
are still substantial savings to
be made by using a little
conscious effort. For example,
leaky faucets, half-loads of
wash (dishes too), everynight
baths, and just simple waste
into the sewers can cost the
homeowner dollars that could
be better spent on something
else. If you’heat your water by
gas there’s also the matter of
maintaining that it doesn’t
waste gas like your furnace
used to.

(
Sela cutbacks, that is a very real possibility.
et’s be blunt about it. )
This college is ugly. The buildings are unimaginative, dull
and overcrowded. When this college was built eight years
ago, these same buildings must have looked rather modern
and perhaps even flashy.
But that was eight years ago. Now, those buildings have
numerous leaks, heating problems, space shortages, and are
just generally obsolete. Of course, this college was built as a
‘temporary college’. The planned new campuses have come
along (they’re not here yet, though) and it looks as though
our problems will one day be solved.
However, the Surrey and New Westminster campuses are
at least three long years away, and during that time almost
8,000 students will attend these campuses. That’s a lot of
people and their welfare can’t just be brushed away in the
name of progress.
Something has to be done to make this college more
livable. Richmond, Surrey and New Westminster campuses
are too noisy and overcrowded. Langley, Maple ridge and
Coquitlam are not much better.
Perhaps the most glaring and best example of the college’s
primitive architecture and- initial planning in the New
Westminster cafeteria, and to a lesser extent, the Surrey
cafeteria. To walk in either room is to be met with a dull, hot
and incredibly noisy atmosphere. In the words of New
Westminster principal Bill Day, ‘‘the place is repulsive’.
Over 1,000 people use these cafeteria’s every day. That
constitutes a lot of use, and yet for eight years almost nothing
has been done to improve either the cundition or the decor.
There haye been token attempts at upgrading the rooms but
nothing has ever changed. Last year, for example, the
student council placed a few couches in the New
Westminster cafeteria, but that did not alleviate any of the
overcrowding at the tables or enhance the image of the place.
At various times pinball machines and ping-pong tables
have been set up, but they have proved more of a nuisance
than an improvement. People complain that either are too
noisy, since a great many students use the cafeterias as a
place of study.
Why do people use the cafeterias as study halls? Why
don’t they go to the college libraries? Because, ironically, the
libraries are too noisy and overcrowded. To get a seat in the
library is sometimes the biggest accomplishment in a
student’s day, especially around mid-term.
All this brings us to perhaps the most critical problem the
college will face in the time before the new campuses are
completed: the space shortage. _
The college’s population is growing quickly and there
doesn’t seem to be room for any more students. But the
students will keep coming and so space has to be found.
Classrooms have to be built. New courses have to be
implemented. The students’ demands for courses and
facilities will not stop, but increase.
Many students will shrug off this problem as unimportant
or inevitable. But soon the affects will be felt more strongly.
The cafeteria problem has existed for several years, but
students have so far put up with it. Now, they will have to
travel to other campuses to take courses that were once
offered on all of them. That means more money, time and
inconvenience to everyone involved, including faculty, staff
and administrators.
So now the college is finally trying to do something about
the problems, but they may be too late. Inevitably, more
portables will have to be built. Will the-Education Ministry.
feel it would be wasteful to spend money on something that
will only last another three or four years? During these days

This college is ugly. The buildings are unimaginative, dull
and overcrowded. When this college was built eight years
ago, these same buildings must have looked rather modern
and perhaps even flashy.
But that was eight years ago. Now, those buildings have
numerous leaks, heating problems, space shortages, and are
just generally obsolete. Of course, this college was built as a
‘temporary college’. The planned new campuses have come
along (they’re not here yet, though) and it looks as though
our problems will one day be solved.
However, the Surrey and New Westminster campuses are
at least three long years away, and during that time almost
8,000 students will attend these campuses. That’s a lot of
people and their welfare can’t just be brushed away in the
name of progress.
Something has to be done to make this college more
livable. Richmond, Surrey and New Westminster campuses
are too noisy and overcrowded. Langley, Maple ridge and

and incredibly noisy atmosphere. In the words of New
Westminster principal Bill Day, ‘‘the place is repulsive’.
Over 1,000 people use these cafeteria’s every day. That
constitutes a lot of use, and yet for eight years almost nothing
has been done to improve either the cundition or the decor.
There haye been token attempts at upgrading the rooms but
nothing has ever changed. Last year, for example, the
student council placed a few couches in the New
Westminster cafeteria, but that did not alleviate any of the
overcrowding at the tables or enhance the image of the place.
At various times pinball machines and ping-pong tables
have been set up, but they have proved more of a nuisance
than an improvement. People complain that either are too
noisy, since a great many students use the cafeterias as a
place of study.
Why do people use the cafeterias as study halls? Why
don’t they go to the college libraries? Because, ironically, the
libraries are too noisy and overcrowded. To get a seat in the
library is sometimes the biggest accomplishment in a
student’s day, especially around mid-term.
All this brings us to perhaps the most critical problem the

BCSF has problems
by Doug Ward
for Can. University Press
Last spring John Doherty
was leading student protests
against education cutbacks ir
Ontario--a photo in the Toron.
to Globe and Mail caught hir
sitting smack in the middle o/
the office of the president of
‘the University of Toronto dur-
ing a student occupation.
Now he is gazing out at the
mountains from his office at
Simon Fraser University
where he works as an organi-
zer for the British Columbia
Student Federation.
“Tt was incredible. The
energy that was there..,’’ he |
recalls, describing one de-
monstration which brought
8,000 students to the steps of
the Ontario legislature.
The spring of this year was
a time of unusually large
student protests 1n most pro-
vinces--most provinces that is,
except for British Columbia.
Just why is unclear. Local
student activists say they
made a mistake last spring by.
trying to organize students
against government cutbacks
in general rather than zeroing
in on just education cuts.
“This year we plan to show
people concrete, day-to-day
examples of what cutbacks are
and how they are affected,’’
says Doherty. .
Less support staff, fewer
course offerings, reduced li-
brary hours and higher tea-
cher-student ratios are all
examples of cutbacks, he says.
Doherty says support staff ‘
at BC’s colleges and universi-
ties are at the ‘“‘front-line’’ of
cutbacks in the province.
Negotiations between sup-
port staff and administration
at Cariboo College, in the
interior and at Simon Fraser
University were difficult as the
ene reportedly only of-
ered about 6 per cent annual
increases--far below inflation.
By trying to hold the line on
support staff spending the
Bennett government is creat-
ing problems for students,
says Doherty. He adds that
understaffing at the education
ministry in Victoria has partly
meant that hundreds of uni-
versity students in the provin-
ce will received their student
aid almost a month late.
The British Columbia Stu-
’ dent Federation (BCSF) will
fight proposed restrictions on
international students, says
Doherty. BC education mini-
ster Pat McGeer recently hin-
ted that he may propose
differential fees for foreign
students, and the federal gov-
ernment has been flirting with
the idea of prohibiting these
students from also taking
teaching assistant positions.
There have been no serious —
cuts in student aid spending in
, but spending levels have
failed to rise with costs of
housing, books, and tuition.
And it hasn’t matched the
increase in part-time students
and unemployment, argues
Doherty. He says the BCSF
’ will stress this fact to students
and will lobby both the federal
and provincial governments to
come up with more aid money.
The BCSF is also demand-
ing that students be consider-
ed independent at age 18; that
a higher proportion of grant
money to loan money be
provided to students with
higher need; that students not
have to repay loans until six
months after they find em-
ployment; and that part-time
and graduate students be
made eligible for grants.
Last year the provincial
student aid program had a
surplus of over $1 million.
according to a university aid
I.C. to develop their current
surplus only snows tnat as-
sessment regulations for aid
are too stiff and that the
surplus is not any indication of
the province’s generosity.
Capital spending by the
Province at the universities
_ plummeted by almost 50 per
cent last year but is expected
to jump back this year, said a
provincial education official.
On the drawing boards are
hospital construction at UBC
and law school construction at
UVIC.
Still the most serious
threats to the quality of edu-
cation are likely future propo-'
sals sitting on Education Mi-
nister Pat McGeer’s desk
rather than his present poli-
cies. And that may undermine
student militancy at least this
year. \
There hasn’t been a. tuition
fee increase, for instance,
since two years ago when a 25
per cent hike sent thousands
of university students into the
streets in protest.
But Doherty and the BCSF
are alarmed that a report
before the education ministry
recommends that tuition fees
should rise annually by 15 per
cent or at least should match
the rise in the province’s
yearly grant to the schools.
This would be about 8.7 per
cent, says Doherty.
Another document which
has the BCSF worried is the
Hansen Report which argues
for increased disparity be-
tween B.C.’s three universi-’
ties. The report argues that
UBC should continue to re-
ceive the lion’s share of the
province’s uMmiversity expen-
diture, with both Simon Fraser
University and the University
of Victoria receiving relatively
declining amounts.
‘“‘The Hansen Report will
only help increase the inequi-
ties between the three univer-
sities and make it severely
difficult for SFU and U
Vic to develop their current
graduate and any, new facul-
ties,’’ argues Doherty.
Doherty remains optimistic
that the education cuts and
streamlining will be met with
student opposition. Bur he
admits that students are often
difficult to organize because
those who are really the
victims of cuts are those who
didn’t make it to university.

sitting smack in the middle o/
the office of the president of
‘the University of Toronto dur-
ing a student occupation.
Now he is gazing out at the
mountains from his office at
Simon Fraser University
where he works as an organi-
zer for the British Columbia
Student Federation.
“Tt was incredible. The
energy that was there..,’’ he |
recalls, describing one de-
monstration which brought
8,000 students to the steps of
the Ontario legislature.
The spring of this year was
a time of unusually large
student protests 1n most pro-
vinces--most provinces that is,
except for British Columbia.
Just why is unclear. Local
student activists say they
made a mistake last spring by.
trying to organize students
against government cutbacks
in general rather than zeroing
in on just education cuts.
“This year we plan to show
people concrete, day-to-day
examples of what cutbacks are
and how they are affected,’’
says Doherty. .
Less support staff, fewer
course offerings, reduced li-
brary hours and higher tea-
cher-student ratios are all
examples of cutbacks, he says.
Doherty says support staff ‘
at BC’s colleges and universi-
ties are at the ‘“‘front-line’’ of
cutbacks in the province.
Negotiations between sup-
port staff and administration
at Cariboo College, in the
interior and at Simon Fraser
University were difficult as the
ene reportedly only of-
ered about 6 per cent annual
increases--far below inflation.
By trying to hold the line on
support staff spending the
Bennett government is creat-
ing problems for students,
says Doherty. He adds that
understaffing at the education
ministry in Victoria has partly
meant that hundreds of uni-
versity students in the provin-
ce will received their student
aid almost a month late.
The British Columbia Stu-
’ dent Federation (BCSF) will
fight proposed restrictions on
international students, says
Doherty. BC education mini-
ster Pat McGeer recently hin-
ted that he may propose
differential fees for foreign
students, and the federal gov-
ernment has been flirting with
the idea of prohibiting these
students from also taking
teaching assistant positions.
There have been no serious —
cuts in student aid spending in
, but spending levels have
failed to rise with costs of
housing, books, and tuition.
And it hasn’t matched the
increase in part-time students
and unemployment, argues
Doherty. He says the BCSF
’ will stress this fact to students
and will lobby both the federal
and provincial governments to
come up with more aid money.
The BCSF is also demand-
ing that students be consider-
ed independent at age 18; that
a higher proportion of grant
money to loan money be
provided to students with
higher need; that students not
have to repay loans until six
months after they find em-
ployment; and that part-time
and graduate students be
made eligible for grants.
Last year the provincial
student aid program had a
surplus of over $1 million.
according to a university aid
I.C. to develop their current
surplus only snows tnat as-
sessment regulations for aid
are too stiff and that the
surplus is not any indication of
the province’s generosity.
Capital spending by the
Province at the universities
_ plummeted by almost 50 per
cent last year but is expected
to jump back this year, said a
provincial education official.
On the drawing boards are
hospital construction at UBC
and law school construction at
UVIC.
Still the most serious
threats to the quality of edu-
cation are likely future propo-'
sals sitting on Education Mi-
nister Pat McGeer’s desk
rather than his present poli-
cies. And that may undermine
student militancy at least this
year. \
There hasn’t been a. tuition
fee increase, for instance,
since two years ago when a 25
per cent hike sent thousands
of university students into the
streets in protest.
But Doherty and the BCSF
are alarmed that a report
before the education ministry
recommends that tuition fees
should rise annually by 15 per
cent or at least should match
the rise in the province’s
yearly grant to the schools.
This would be about 8.7 per
cent, says Doherty.
Another document which
has the BCSF worried is the
Hansen Report which argues
for increased disparity be-
tween B.C.’s three universi-’
ties. The report argues that
UBC should continue to re-
ceive the lion’s share of the
province’s uMmiversity expen-
diture, with both Simon Fraser
University and the University
of Victoria receiving relatively
declining amounts.
‘“‘The Hansen Report will
only help increase the inequi-
ties between the three univer-
sities and make it severely
difficult for SFU and U
Vic to develop their current
graduate and any, new facul-
ties,’’ argues Doherty.
Doherty remains optimistic
that the education cuts and
streamlining will be met with
student opposition. Bur he
admits that students are often
difficult to organize because
those who are really the
victims of cuts are those who
didn’t make it to university.

CAMPUS

There is a shortage of office,
‘storage and classroom space
on the New Westminster cam-
| pus that is getting worse each
| semester as student enroll-
| ment increases.
The campus advisory coun-

| and come up with a solution to
the problem, which is becom-
‘ing more serious as the next
semester approaches.
Another classroom has to be

| student society also wants
more office and storage space.
| A plan was submitted by
| Andre Piquette, counsellor
_| and member of the committee,

the 100 building. His solution

However, the mail room and
faculty lounge would have to
be moved to the cafeteria
building, and this could pre-
sent problems.
The student society plans to
build partitions in the cafeter-
ia to create storage space and
lounge space. They also want
to make their lounge into
office space.
The advisory council has
been granted a certain amount
of dollars to complete the
project, and must find the
easiest and cheapest solution.

In other council news, two
student scholarships of $150
each will be offered in the
spring and fall semesters at
Douglas College. This is an
increase from previous years
where a single scholarship of
$500 was offered.
Bob Tinkess, vice-president

to offer bursaries instead of:
scholarships so that academic

bursaries are deducted from
