The Douglas a stu-
dent society will try to spend
their $40-60,000 trust fund
when it holds it’s Annual
General Meeting sometime
by Dan Hilborn
in January.
Sean Balderstone, pres-
ident of the society, and a
music student at Douglas,
said that the society would
like to purchase a building
or facility near the New
- Westminster campus for use
as cheap student housing
_and possibly a pub.
Balderstone admits the
trust fund itself is not
enough to cover the cost of a
building, but added that
they were looking into alter-
ate sources of revenue.
e refused to comment on
the alternate sources
-may be.
- Another item Balderstone
hopes to discuss during the
AGM is an increase in the
honorarium society execu-
tive receive for their work on
the council.
Currently, the president
and other executive mem-
| bers are refunded the cost of
_ their tuition.
“‘Tr’s not worth it,’’ said
-Balderstone, who claims the
- executive ‘‘spend thousands
of hours a week’’ on student
business.
Balderstone feels that the
students at the college do
| not know how much work is
| involved in being an execu-
| tive member in the society.
“We don’t just run Pub
_ Nights,”’ he said.
“Students need to be
_ aware of the issues concern-
ing them,”’ he said after he
‘_was elected to the society.
Free legal advice is offer-
é in the society offices
twice a month for students
who wish to use it.
The society's lawyer is
available to discuss any
legal problem students may
_have, as long as the student
has arranged an appoint-
_ ment with the society’s bus-
-imess manager, Merrilyn
Houlihan, Balderstone said.
Other services the society
offers to students are free
swimming at the Canada
Games Pool, free use of
electric typewriters on the
second floor of the library,
i
»?
photocopies for only a nick-
el, intramurals, an activity
room (Room #1606) with
video games, cards, and
board games, the student
handbook, the Canadian
Federation of Students
discount catalogue, financ-
ing of clubs and associa-
tions, as well as two scholar-
ships given out each year.
‘‘The student society is
not responsible for the Other
Press,’’ Balderstone said.
An education action week
was sponsored by the soci-
ety prior to the Operation
Solida arity picketing that
nearly closed down the col-
lege for three days in Nov-
ember.
Balderstone also asked
Terry Nash of the Nuclear
Disarmament committee to
speak to students after a
owing of the film ‘“‘If You —
Love This Planet’’ in Oct-
-ober.
““We were going to run a
film series featuring popular
feauture films, and docu-
mentaries in the new the-
atre,’’ Balderstone _ said.
However, administration
was reluctant to let the soci-
ety use the new facility be-
cause of possible damage
from students.
‘“‘The Other Press should
run a story on the different
services we provide,’’ he
said. ‘‘We offer thousands
of services, if anyone cared
to find out.’’
Some of the activities the
society has been involved in
have brought the ire of some .
of the college’s more con-
servative students down on
Balderstone.
Gerry Della Matia, dean
of student services at Doug-
las College, said earlier this
year that a group of students’
came to his office to discuss
the legal rights of the soci-
ety, as outlined in their con-
stitution.
He refused to comment on
what specific questions the
students had.
Balderstone said that he
heard rumors around the
campus that he was allowed
to run a tab at the College
Place pub in New West-
minster, rumors which he
emphatically denies.
“‘T don’t even drink at the
College Place anymore,’’ he
said.
_.Balderstone said that. if
any students have questions
about the society’s activities
should bring them to the
society's open meetings.
Several times this year he
has spoken to the members
of the college’s administra-
tive board about what he
perceives students concerns
to be.
“‘Students are the hardest
hit of anyone,’’ he told the
board when it appeared that
the college was going to be

affects students in a short

It was recommended that

Basketball: Back and Better
The Douglas Men’s Bas-
ketball team means business
this year. They should easily
better their fourth place
by Martin Hemerik
finish last year. The team
has a good blend of rookies
and seasoned rookies.
On November 18 they
opened the season against
Capilano. Cap has one of the
better teams in the country.
They'll easily be ranked in
the top ten nationally.
Cap had the height ad-
vantage with a 6’9’’ centre
but Douglas retaliated with
Steve Mitton who has picked
up where he left off last
season rebounding with re-
newed vigour and anchoring
the defese.
Neil Chester, the Capilaon
coach seemed confident as
his team jumped off to an
early eight point lead. The
first half featured lightning
fast basketball with non stop
action and at the end of play
Douglas trailed 37-34...
Starting the second half
Cap built substantially on
their
lead and with ten
minutes to play led 59-44 but
Douglas kept pounding
away at their lead and with a
minute 30 seconds left on
the clock they trailed by only
seven. In the next 60 sec-
onds the Douglas Machine
hit the turbos and managed
to tie the score, gained
control and call a time out.
Neil Chester was by now
an emotional wreck but he
kept pretty quiet (probably
because he had been given
two technical fouls and
' would have been ejected for
one more).
With 30 seconds left to
play one bad pass was all it
took. Capilario took it down
and turned it into two points
with two seconds left to
play.
Against the Meralomas on
November 25 it was Douglas
being on the other side of a
two point margin of victory
as they beat the Meralomas,
a team made up of univer-
sity and college ball players
‘who had since graduated but

The Douglas College wo-
men’s basketball team, after
a disasterous first first two
games got back on track and
by Martin Hemerik
came from behind to defeat
Fraser Vally College 58-40.
The team, coached by
Richard Norman, is the
smallest (in stature) in the
league but has the potential
to be one of the quickest,
which they amply proved in
_the December 1 match.
The defense tightened up
considerably as the wonien
played a more dominant and
aggressive game in their
own end. This was their
main weakness in the first
two games of the season in
which they had almost 200
points scored on them ac-
cumulatively.
The absence of Sherri
Crossweller from the lineup
has definitely hurt the team
but fortunately Carol Taylro
is a returning veteran. She is
the key to the offense as well
as being a _ stalwart on
defense. Karen Minato is
the new player to watch.
She's quick, agile, with good
reflexes: and is exiting to
Graphic. The Fulcrum
watch on offense. Against
Fraser Valley she led all
scorers with 14 points.
Sheila Slammond _ con-
tinues to be the triggerman
(person) on the offense,
sinking nine points.
The team has fight and
land clubs. These guys are
good, they beat U.B.C.’s
varsity team just a week
earlier.
Grant Rose, Brian Eng-
lund and Brian Brown
played key roles in the
Douglas victory. It was a
physical game with arms
and elbows flying all over
the place.
There was no question
about the Merolamas’ skill,
their shots were deadly
accurate and their passes
were right on the mark
throghout the match. But in
the end it was Douglas’
sheer hustle that earned
them the victory. It was a
very happy yet exhausted
team that hit the showers
after the game.
The team is coached by
Steve Beauchamp, a bus-
ness major at S.F.U. , who
has picked up what was left
from last year’s squad
(which wasn’t slim pickens).
He has molded it into a_
machine that is going to roll
over opponents this season.
So for exciting basketball
come out to their next game.
Women on the Move
spirit. With some polishing
they could be a force to be
reckoned with in the up-

mors are true about Sherri

The Douglas Men’s Bas-
ketball team means business
this year. They should easily
better their fourth place
by Martin Hemerik
finish last year. The team
has a good blend of rookies
and seasoned rookies.
On November 18 they
opened the season against
Capilano. Cap has one of the
better teams in the country.
They'll easily be ranked in
the top ten nationally.
Cap had the height ad-
vantage with a 6’9’’ centre
but Douglas retaliated with
Steve Mitton who has picked
up where he left off last
season rebounding with re-
newed vigour and anchoring
the defese.
Neil Chester, the Capilaon
coach seemed confident as
his team jumped off to an
early eight point lead. The
first half featured lightning
fast basketball with non stop
action and at the end of play
Douglas trailed 37-34...
Starting the second half
Cap built substantially on
their
lead and with ten
minutes to play led 59-44 but
Douglas kept pounding
away at their lead and with a
minute 30 seconds left on
the clock they trailed by only
seven. In the next 60 sec-
onds the Douglas Machine
hit the turbos and managed
to tie the score, gained
control and call a time out.
Neil Chester was by now
an emotional wreck but he
kept pretty quiet (probably
because he had been given
two technical fouls and
' would have been ejected for
one more).
With 30 seconds left to
play one bad pass was all it
took. Capilario took it down
and turned it into two points
with two seconds left to
play.
Against the Meralomas on
November 25 it was Douglas
being on the other side of a

Richard Norman, is the
smallest (in stature) in the
league but has the potential

played a more dominant and

Douglas jazz album released
The next time you're
browsing through the Book
Store, you may notice a copy
of a record album entitled
Choice Cuts near the front
desk.
Choice Cuts is the new
jazz album recorded April 9
by Robin Robertson
and 22 by this years’ Doug-
las Coltege Jazz Band.
Work on the next jazz
album is already underway.
On November 3, a perfor-
mance with the Vancouver
Community College jazz
bands at the Hot Jazz Club
was given to raise funds, as
well as a performance by all
three Douglas jazz bands at
the Hot Jazz Club given to
an excellent turnout as a
‘‘Douglas College Night’’ on
December 2. The band, as
well, is busy recording cur-
rent work with the intent of
eventually putting the best
tunes on the next album.
Most of the songs on the
Choice Cuts album were
written by local writers.
_ Arrangements were done
locally, and recording was
done by Douglas College's
own audio visual depart-
ment, Instructional Media
Service. Use of the bands’
and its members’ own
equipment greatly assisted
the recording.
Students on the album
include: Len Olson, trom-
bone; Jordy Groves, alto
sax; Terry Kaufenburg, ten-
or sax; Mike Clark, baritone
sax; and former graduates of
the Music Programme, Kev-
in Lee, trumpet and flugel
horn as well as arranging;
and Rick Rango on trumpet.
Teachers include: Blair
Fisher, director; Art Smith,
bass trombone; and Peter
Tuschuck, guitar.
This year the Student
Society provided the Jazz
Band with a grant covering
20 per cent of the cost of the
album. The rest. of the
money was raised in con-
certs lined up by a student
who acted as the band’s
agent.
The band performed at
such places as the Hot Jazz
Club and the SFU Pub, the
Douglas College Opening
Ceremonies Dance, The Sur-
rey Stage Band Festival, as
well as last year’s New
Westminster Jazz Festival,
- where they were voted the
most outstanding band.
Close to $2,000 was raised.
Blair Fisher, director of
the Jazz Band for the past
three years, has added pro-
fessional musicians to the
Jazz Band, with the inten-
tion of making a well bal-
anced band with jazz exper-
ience. Fisher says, ‘‘The

It gives students something
to work for.”’
He adds, ‘‘The first year
the Jazz Band was out, there
were mostly students, last
year was an even split, and
this year there are more
students in the band.”’
One Douglas College
Music student wishing to
remain anonomous, how-
ever, disagrees: ‘‘This year
the stage band has a good
balance of musicians, as
there are nine Douglas Col-
lege music students in the
band out of 17 or19 players,
whereas last year there were
only four or five music
students out of a band of the
same size.”’
“The band director, Blair
Fisher, seems to be putting
together a much more bal-
anced performance prog-
ramme where the jazz bands
are concerned. It is true that
students benefit from work-
ing with community mem-
bers, but this is a waste if
only five students are given
the benefit of this exper-
ience, the student added.
The Music Department
likes to aim at providing
more than one band in order
to include players at differ-
ent levels. If you don’t make
the day-band, you can al-
ways play in the evening
band. Last year they were
struggling for day and even-
ing bands, but this year the
turn out was so good, that
they ended up with two
evening bands and one day
band and are hoping to put
all three on the next album.
Blair Fisher says, ‘‘A
community college can offer
music to all with a growing
interest whether they are a
Bachelor of Music student or
”
not.
Fisher says the music
department is different from
other school situations in
that they include people in
other faculties of the col-
lege. we
He encourages anyone in-
terested in continuing their
music to get in touch with
the departmé€nt as he feels
there is always a place for
someone at any level to play

There is a hope the the
Choice Cuts album will be
distributed to radio stations,
but if this opportunity comes
about, it will mean relying
on more volunteers to do the
distributing. Blair Fisher re-
spnds, ‘‘Now that we have
the records, a lot of poss-
ibilities arise. We hope to
sell it in local libraries as
well as music’stores.: Work
towards the album will take
interested people as well as
interest from the adminis-
tration.’’ Fisher adds Choice
Cuts will also raise the
profile of the college.
The album can be picked
up at the bookstore or the
Music Office for $5 apiece.
Says Fisher, ‘‘The album is
an inside look at the making
of the recorded music we
hear.’’

Fisher, seems to be putting

likes to aim at providing
more than one band in order

struggling for day and even-

all three on the next album.

Douglas jazz album released
The next time you're
browsing through the Book
Store, you may notice a copy
of a record album entitled
Choice Cuts near the front
desk.
Choice Cuts is the new
jazz album recorded April 9
by Robin Robertson
and 22 by this years’ Doug-
las Coltege Jazz Band.
Work on the next jazz
album is already underway.
On November 3, a perfor-
mance with the Vancouver
Community College jazz
bands at the Hot Jazz Club
was given to raise funds, as
well as a performance by all
three Douglas jazz bands at
the Hot Jazz Club given to
an excellent turnout as a
‘‘Douglas College Night’’ on
December 2. The band, as
well, is busy recording cur-
rent work with the intent of
eventually putting the best
tunes on the next album.
Most of the songs on the
Choice Cuts album were
written by local writers.
_ Arrangements were done
locally, and recording was
done by Douglas College's
own audio visual depart-
ment, Instructional Media
Service. Use of the bands’
and its members’ own
equipment greatly assisted
the recording.
Students on the album
include: Len Olson, trom-
bone; Jordy Groves, alto
sax; Terry Kaufenburg, ten-
or sax; Mike Clark, baritone
sax; and former graduates of
the Music Programme, Kev-
in Lee, trumpet and flugel
horn as well as arranging;
and Rick Rango on trumpet.
Teachers include: Blair
Fisher, director; Art Smith,
bass trombone; and Peter
Tuschuck, guitar.
This year the Student
Society provided the Jazz
Band with a grant covering
20 per cent of the cost of the
album. The rest. of the
money was raised in con-
certs lined up by a student
who acted as the band’s
agent.
The band performed at
such places as the Hot Jazz
Club and the SFU Pub, the
Douglas College Opening
Ceremonies Dance, The Sur-
rey Stage Band Festival, as
well as last year’s New
Westminster Jazz Festival,
- where they were voted the
most outstanding band.
Close to $2,000 was raised.
Blair Fisher, director of
the Jazz Band for the past
three years, has added pro-
fessional musicians to the
Jazz Band, with the inten-
tion of making a well bal-
anced band with jazz exper-
ience. Fisher says, ‘‘The

ing for Ultimate Heigh
How I ever got the
thought in my head about
skydiving I can’t honestly
say. However, the key to my
actually going out and jump-
ing was finding someone
else to do it with.
One. evening I was having
a coffee with Lori, one of my
co-workers at the B.C. Place
stadium. We were talking
about life and somehow the
subject of skydiving crept
into the conversation. Upon
learning that we each want-
ed to do it we set a date
(after making sure that med-
ical premiums had been paid
up). Looking in the Yellow
Pages® we found one
school, Horizon Aerosports
out in Abbotsford, about a
hundred and thirty kilo-
metres east of Vancouver.
When we went to their
office, in Vancouver, to re-
gister and pay for the jump,
($85 may seem like a lot of
money but for a thrill that
most people do only once
during their lifetime it’s a
small price to pay) we im-
mediately started having
~ second thoughts. The office
was someone’s basement
with some wood panelling
hastilly thrown up against
the cement walls and a
secretary who would not go
near a parachute.
For the next few days
before the jump I envisioned
my training class to consist
of hairy 673’ ex Sumo
wrestlers tossing one out of
the plane’s door at 2,500
feet without the benefit of a
parachute because they
couldn’t afford one.
Actually my fears were
unfounded as the training
was top rate and first class.
We were taught how to exit
the plane, the correct pos-
ture when falling, the count
(which you always forget to
do), how to land (hit the
ground harder than it hits
you). Then it was time for
lunch. Nobody was overly
hungry.
After lunch we got a
final and sobering lecture on
what to do if something goes
wrong. We concluded our

py note and got suited up
with parachutes (after we all
had gone to the bathroom
for one last time).
It should be pointed out
that when jumping we were
hooked up to a static line so
the parachute would open
- automatically. As for land-
ing there were no obstacles
to worry about except for
one field covered with pig
manure. There was a person
on the ground who would
guide us with a giant arrow
(the tattered remnants of a
hang glider) to the landing
area. Steering the parachute
is quite easy, you could pull
a handle on your left to turn
left and vice versa. Actually,
except for one field you
could land anywhere you
wanted. ;
When my parachute open-
ed everything became total-
ly quiet and then the ex-
hileration set in. I HAD
DONE IT! I had jumped out
of an airplane with nothing
-but a piece of canvas on my
back. I had conquered one of
man’s most terrifying fears.
The scenery was fantastic
and for those brief seconds
while floating down to earth
there was nothing that could
compare to the feeling you
had running through your
body. It was indeed truly
magnificient to be alive for
that brief interval of time.
On the way back from
Abbotsford Lori and I com-
mented on what we had just
done with each of us fully
realizing what the other had
gone through. Unfortunately
when we told everyone else
what we had done they
couldn’t understand what
we went through. The rep-
lies we mainly got were,
“Gee, that sounds exciting,
were you scared. ‘‘
If you do go skydiving be
prepared for this when you
explain it to someone be-
cause unless the person has
jumped before or wants to

altitudes that didn’t make it
difficult to exit the plane,
but in 1943 a survey re-
vealed that 12.5 per cent of
emergency parachute jumps
were fatal and 45.5 per cent
involved injuries.
One important fact stood
out: most casualties resulted
from collision with the air-
craft body and not from the
parachute itself. This prob-
lem was soon alleviated with
the ejection seat that was
standard equipment on vir-
tually all aircraft by 1948.
With the advent of rocket
propelled -and hypersonic
jets, new problems arose
and new tests had to be
performed. It would be im-
possible to name all the
parachute testers and their
achievements but a_ few
merit special mention for
some of the most incredible
jumps in history.
Capt. Joseph W. Kittin-
ger, USAF proved that man

escape from the edge of

ject Excelsior in 1960 was
without a question the
world’s longest free fall
from 102,800 feet to 18,000
feet, a record that may stand
for a long time to come.
George F. Smith, a North
American Aviation test pi-
lot was the first man to
survive a supersonic emer-
gency bailout. On February
26, 1955 while flying a
supersonic jet, his plane
began a plunge straight
down after its controls lock-
ed. He triggered the ejection
seat and blew himself out at
6,500 feet while screaming
through the air at 777 miles
an hour!
A supersonic brick wall
instantly knocked Smith un-
concious. Fishermen pulled
him from the water off Palos
Verdes, California, more
dead than alive. He was
hospitalized for weeks with
severe injuries to all parts of
his body but he recovered to
fly again.
Lt. Col. William H. Ran-
kin, USMC on July 26 1959
was forced to eject at 47,000
_ feet without a pressure suit.
“When the seat fired it
felt as though a huge bull
elephant kicked me in the
rear and made an explosive
snort at the same time,’’ he
recalled.

ing for Ultimate Heigh
How I ever got the
thought in my head about
skydiving I can’t honestly
say. However, the key to my
actually going out and jump-
ing was finding someone
else to do it with.
One. evening I was having
a coffee with Lori, one of my
co-workers at the B.C. Place
stadium. We were talking
about life and somehow the
subject of skydiving crept
into the conversation. Upon
learning that we each want-
ed to do it we set a date
(after making sure that med-
ical premiums had been paid
up). Looking in the Yellow
Pages® we found one
school, Horizon Aerosports
out in Abbotsford, about a
hundred and thirty kilo-
metres east of Vancouver.
When we went to their
office, in Vancouver, to re-
gister and pay for the jump,
($85 may seem like a lot of
money but for a thrill that
most people do only once
during their lifetime it’s a
small price to pay) we im-
mediately started having
~ second thoughts. The office
was someone’s basement
with some wood panelling
hastilly thrown up against
the cement walls and a
secretary who would not go
near a parachute.
For the next few days
before the jump I envisioned
my training class to consist
of hairy 673’ ex Sumo
wrestlers tossing one out of
the plane’s door at 2,500
feet without the benefit of a
parachute because they
couldn’t afford one.
Actually my fears were
unfounded as the training
was top rate and first class.
We were taught how to exit
the plane, the correct pos-
ture when falling, the count
(which you always forget to
do), how to land (hit the
ground harder than it hits
you). Then it was time for
lunch. Nobody was overly
hungry.
After lunch we got a
final and sobering lecture on
what to do if something goes
wrong. We concluded our
itwelve yards broad and as many yards

training session on this hap-
py note and got suited up
with parachutes (after we all
had gone to the bathroom
for one last time).
It should be pointed out
that when jumping we were
hooked up to a static line so
the parachute would open
- automatically. As for land-
ing there were no obstacles
to worry about except for
one field covered with pig
manure. There was a person
on the ground who would
guide us with a giant arrow
(the tattered remnants of a
hang glider) to the landing
area. Steering the parachute
is quite easy, you could pull
a handle on your left to turn
left and vice versa. Actually,
except for one field you
could land anywhere you
wanted. ;
When my parachute open-
ed everything became total-
ly quiet and then the ex-
hileration set in. I HAD
DONE IT! I had jumped out
of an airplane with nothing
-but a piece of canvas on my
back. I had conquered one of
man’s most terrifying fears.
The scenery was fantastic
and for those brief seconds
while floating down to earth
there was nothing that could
compare to the feeling you
had running through your
body. It was indeed truly
magnificient to be alive for
that brief interval of time.
On the way back from
Abbotsford Lori and I com-
mented on what we had just
done with each of us fully
realizing what the other had
gone through. Unfortunately
when we told everyone else
what we had done they
couldn’t understand what

VANCOUVER [CUP)- The

Raise The Limit
[RNR/CUP]- Student politi-
cal groups in the U.S. are
making news again over a
new issue: the right to drink.
| Twenty states have raised
their legal drinking age to
21, and. at least a dozen
more are threatening to
follow suit.
In Georgia, students de-
feated a proposal to raise the
drinking age from 19 to 21
November, according to
Dick Melville, information
services director for the
education ministry.
‘It’s under review.”’
Byron Hender, University.
of B.C. financial aid direc-
tor, said he is concerned
about the possible lack of
grant money for eligible
students, and attributed the
problem to the government
decreasing its contribution
to the aid program by 40 per
cent -- from $24.2 million to
$14.6 million.
If the government does
not approve the additional
money needed, students will
receive smaller grants, and
those currently applying
may receive even less, said
by successfully arguing that
drunk driving is a problem
of the entire 20-34 age
group. Restricting 18-21
year olds, they _ said,
amounted to ‘‘selective pro-
hibition’.
College lobbyists say stu-
dents will drink regardless
of the legal limit, and
they’re calling for more
effective education and
stricter enforcement: of
drunk driving laws to protect
the public.

We might have to lop dol-
lars off each students’ grant.
Students would be short

said.
Financial aid officers have
suspected a problem of in-
adequate funding for the
past two weeks, he said,
adding he doubts the gov-
ernment will increase its
contribution.
““We have not had a whole
lot of consultation.”’
Verne Lowen, Simon Fra-
ser University financial aid
director, said he too is un-
certain if the government
will increase funding for
grants. But he added it is too
’ early to warn students about
the potential loss of grant
money.
“We are as anxious about
this as you. We want to
Mune 78
make every effort to lessen
the impact on students,’’ he
said.
Hender said the addition-
al money required to cover
all students eligible for
grants may be as much as $1
million. But both Lowen and
he estimated that the
amount of money students
could loose is ‘‘not very
high’’.
In the summer, the fed-
eral government increased
its loan portion from $56.25
to $100 a week, thus enabl-
ing the provincial govern-
ment to decrease its con-
tribution.
The Social Credit govern-
ment also tightened eligi-
bility criteria and introducec

McGill Profs in Grant Scandal
MONTREAL [CUP]- A court
injunction has been served
on the McGill ‘University
student newspaper to pre-
_vent further reporting on the
controversial private com-
pany own by two micro-
biology professors.
The injunction, served
Nov. 16, prevents the McGill
Daily from printing any in-
formation about an inven-
tion the professors have de-
veloped. But Daily reporters
say the injunction may have
been requested because the
professors want to hide cer-
tain business dealings.
Drs. Irving DeVoe and
Bruce Holbein stand to
make millions of dollars with
the invention, which can be
used to clean up toxic in-
dustrial waste, reduce cor-
rosive elements in. water-
cooled reactors, prevent
spoilage in pharmaceutical
products and recover pre-
cious metals from mine trail-
ings.
The two professors have
sought patents in 15 coun-
tries, and have set up a
network of companies inter-
nationally.
The Montreal Gazette had
earlier revealed that DeVoe
borrowed $40,000 from de-
partment funds and his fed-
eral research grant awarded
for academic use, to finance
the company’s research on
campus. Holbein had used
grant funds to hire DeVoe’s
wife under her maiden name
to work on the invention.
And a former McGill re-
search assistant, who was
hired to work on the in-
vention, has said his name is
probably not on the patent
application, even though he
played a crucial role in the
invention’s development.
Dr. Chun Fai Yam was also
served with an injunction
and is himself launching
legal action against the com-
pany, DeVoe and Holbein.
The Daily is investigating
allegations that DeVoe and
Holbein are deliberately let-
ting one of their companies
dissolve so shares due to
McGill drop in value. The
paper is also examining
conflicts of interest sur-
rounding the company’s
presence on campus.
Daily news editor Albert
of getting an
Neremberg said the injunc-
tion may be an attempt to
muzzle the paper.
-‘‘They’ve already spent
$5,000 (to obtain the injunc-
tion),’’ said Neremberg. ‘‘It
looks like DeVoe Holbein are
willing to spend a lot of
money to hinder us in what
we're doing now, which is
just research.”’
He said the Daily has no
information on the invention
itself, and has no desire to
ruin the professors’ chances

students, and attributed the
problem to the government
decreasing its contribution
to the aid program by 40 per
cent -- from $24.2 million to
$14.6 million.
If the government does
not approve the additional
money needed, students will
receive smaller grants, and
those currently applying
may receive even less, said
by successfully arguing that
drunk driving is a problem
of the entire 20-34 age
group. Restricting 18-21
year olds, they _ said,
amounted to ‘‘selective pro-
hibition’.
College lobbyists say stu-
dents will drink regardless
of the legal limit, and
they’re calling for more
effective education and
stricter enforcement: of
drunk driving laws to protect
the public.

We might have to lop dol-
lars off each students’ grant.
Students would be short

said.
Financial aid officers have
suspected a problem of in-
adequate funding for the
past two weeks, he said,
adding he doubts the gov-
ernment will increase its
contribution.
““We have not had a whole
lot of consultation.”’
Verne Lowen, Simon Fra-
ser University financial aid
director, said he too is un-
certain if the government
will increase funding for
grants. But he added it is too
’ early to warn students about
the potential loss of grant
money.
“We are as anxious about
this as you. We want to

make every effort to lessen
the impact on students,’’ he
said.
Hender said the addition-
al money required to cover
all students eligible for
grants may be as much as $1
million. But both Lowen and
he estimated that the
amount of money students
could loose is ‘‘not very
high’’.
In the summer, the fed-
eral government increased
its loan portion from $56.25
to $100 a week, thus enabl-
ing the provincial govern-
ment to decrease its con-
tribution.

new academic standards fo

McGill Profs in Grant Scandal
MONTREAL [CUP]- A court
injunction has been served
on the McGill ‘University
student newspaper to pre-
_vent further reporting on the
controversial private com-
pany own by two micro-
biology professors.
The injunction, served
Nov. 16, prevents the McGill
Daily from printing any in-
formation about an inven-
tion the professors have de-
veloped. But Daily reporters
say the injunction may have
been requested because the
professors want to hide cer-
tain business dealings.
Drs. Irving DeVoe and
Bruce Holbein stand to
make millions of dollars with
the invention, which can be
used to clean up toxic in-
dustrial waste, reduce cor-
rosive elements in. water-
cooled reactors, prevent
spoilage in pharmaceutical
products and recover pre-
cious metals from mine trail-
ings.
The two professors have
sought patents in 15 coun-
tries, and have set up a
network of companies inter-
nationally.
The Montreal Gazette had
earlier revealed that DeVoe
borrowed $40,000 from de-
partment funds and his fed-
eral research grant awarded
for academic use, to finance
the company’s research on
campus. Holbein had used
grant funds to hire DeVoe’s
wife under her maiden name
to work on the invention.
And a former McGill re-
search assistant, who was
hired to work on the in-
vention, has said his name is
probably not on the patent
application, even though he
played a crucial role in the
invention’s development.
Dr. Chun Fai Yam was also
served with an injunction
and is himself launching
legal action against the com-
pany, DeVoe and Holbein.
The Daily is investigating
allegations that DeVoe and
Holbein are deliberately let-
ting one of their companies
dissolve so shares due to
McGill drop in value. The
paper is also examining
conflicts of interest sur-
rounding the company’s
presence on campus.
Daily news editor Albert
of getting an
Neremberg said the injunc-
tion may be an attempt to
muzzle the paper.
-‘‘They’ve already spent
$5,000 (to obtain the injunc-
tion),’’ said Neremberg. ‘‘It
looks like DeVoe Holbein are
willing to spend a lot of
money to hinder us in what
we're doing now, which is
just research.”’
He said the Daily has no
information on the invention
itself, and has no desire to
ruin the professors’ chances

OTHER:-OPINION
Remember last issue,
when I reported that the ad-
ministration had authorized
picture taking of the faculty
on picket lines around the
by Dan Hilborn
college?
To try to find out who it
was in the college who re-
quested the photos I first
went into the office of Gerry
Della Matia, the dean of
student services. Gerry is
quite a friendly sort of per-
son and doesn’t usually
mind telling members of the
Other Press what it is they
want to know, but on this
occasion he first said he
didn’t know why the pic-
tures were taken. Event-
ually, he admitted that he
indeed knew who the perpa-
trator of this particular deed
was and kindly referred me
to the office of personnel
department head Robert
Sawka.
Well, I sauntered on down
the hall from Gerry’s office
to talk to Mr. Sawka and
arrived at personnel just in
time to hear the secretary
talking to Mr. Della Matia
on the phone.
Now I’m not one to make
blind accusations against
anyone of good reputation
but it seemed kind of odd
that Gerry would feel com-
pelled to have to announce
my arrival to Mr. Sawka. I
would have really liked to
have known what message it
was Gerry thought was so
important that he needed to
tell Mr. Sawka.
In any event Robert was
not in his office when I
arrived and the secretary in
the office said that she
would give Robert a mess-
age to call me when he
returned.
Later that afternoon, Rob
managed to squeeze about
five minutes from his busy
schedule to discuss the rea-
sons for the portrait taking
episode. I had learned from
some of the faculty (who
strangely enough didn’t
want their names used in my
story) that someone had
even gotten so brave as to
warn them that certain fac-
ulty members could be plac-
ed in the embarrassing pos-
ition of losing their jobs if
they were to support any job,
action at the college.
Robert said that there was
no foundation for accusa-
tions of that sort and no one
_in the personnel department
~ Candid Camera
had made any sort of threat
to any of the colleges’
employees.
Now, there were rumors
of threats made, particularly
towards the contract work-
ers, but the only reports
anyone would give me were
always labelled ‘‘third or
fourth hand at best’’.
It is extremely difficult to
try to figure out the nature
of a labor dispute when
one party in a labor dispute
refuses to deal with you in
an honest manner. It is even
more difficult when you
don’t know what side it is
that is being dishonest.
In any case, I would still
like to have the opportunity
to look through the person-
nel department file on the
faculty members to find out
exactly what sort of inform-
ation it is that will be kept on
the colleges’ files. The an-
mouncement that the col-
lege will not take retaliatory
measures against the strik-
ing faculty members does a
great deal in relieving some
of the tension that was
produced because of the
dispute, but faculty will
have to wait to find out if
indeed it is the administra-
tion that is the side acting
honestly.

VANCOUVER [CUP]- Com-

his issue is very impor-
tant. For some students,
crossing the picket line is
the worst thing they have to
do, but some people don’t

Hebert, UBC student society

Hebert said she has had
complaints from a half dozen
other students and a campus
chaplain said he’s had an-
other 15.
Hebert said she is urging
the administration to issue a
statement supporting the
right to cross picket lines
without penalty. Student
Council unanimously passed
a motion with this intent,
she added.
UBC academic vice pres-
ident Robert Smith said the
administration’s position
For Pickets
was outlined in a Nov. 7
memo to deans and depart-
ment heads. The memo
stated that the situation of
students should be monitor-
ed carefully and reviewed if
necessary,’ Smith said.
Meanwhile, Operation
Solidarity and Solidarity Co-
alition continue to discuss
other action to fight legisla-

But the massive protest
which led to a near general

ployees has all but died as

waits to see how consulta-
