Faculty morale all over the uni- versity is dropping, says an associ- ate education professor, while the administration is pressuring faculty to retire early and negotiations on how to fire faculty in the event of a financial crisis drag on.

“Everyone is being apprehensive. Morale has lowered across the uni- versity as a whole,” Donald Fisher, a Committee of Concerned Aca- demics member, said Monday.

Fisher said the UBC administra- tion’s recent advertisement in UBC Reports is designed to encourage people to come forward and ne- gotiate a deal to leave UBC. “The pressure is on a little,” he said.

“Everyone who is thinking about what is happening is worried,” said Fisher. He added faculty are con- cerned whether staying at UBC is the right career decision.

He said unfair dismissals due to UBC’s financial crisis are a real danger but that the faculty associa- tion should get safeguards against this.

The recent advertisement which encourages faculty to voluntarily retire is only part of an administra- tion policy begun two years ago,

Faculty association president El- mer Ogryzlo said the association is also encouraging voluntary retire- ment to prevent firings. He said for firings to occur the university must show there is a financial exigency

Ogryzlo refused to say how many faculty might be eliminated if UBC receives another five per cent cut.

The faculty association and the administration are in the middle of negotiations on a process by which people are fired, Ogryzlo said. Faculty members are worried that without a clear procedure academic freedom and fair dismissals are threatened, he said.

Grad centre talks show progress

By DAVE STODDART Both the university administra-

tion and the Graduate Student Soci- ety are optimistic about the future of services for graduate students, although disagreements remain over a proposed hike in the graduates’ fee levy.

Representatives from both sides said Monday there are important developments in the prolonged dis- pute which began when the univer- sity closed the Graduate Student centre last spring.

Brian Bain, GSS executive secre- tarv, said recent dialogues with the university have been positive. “Things are going in the right direc- tion now,” he said. “h’e may still have disagreements concerning some of the particulars but at least we agree in principle.”

Bain said the GSS is striving to preserve good prices and accessible service at the centre. “I’m confi- dent now that we can maintain the

serllices we‘ve had in the past,” he said, adding the GSS wants to ex- pand services in the future.

Neil Risebrough, associate vice- pwjident student affairs, said re- cent talks with the GSS have been truitful. But he added the society should re-evaluate their current fee lev!,, which has remained at $1 1 per student since 1958.

“It’s not realistic to assume that 5 1 1 will buy the same services today as i:: did 27 years ago,” Risebrough said. “We can’t continue to pay their bills. We don’t want to service their debt either.” The university cited an alleged GSS deficit of more than $80.000 as one reason for the centre takeover.

Risebrough said the board of governors will be asked to levy a fee on the graduate students. “This will be similar to the recent fee levy on the {Engineering Undergraduate Society),” he said. “The university

Anarchist advocates personal change By RICK KLEIN

People will continue to be ex- ploited until they begin to take con- trol of their own lives, an eminent anarchist philosopher and social ecologist said Sunday.

“The question of empowering people to take control of their own iives is the central question of our times,” Murray Bookchin told 400 people in SUB auditorium Sunday.

Bookchin said we are witnessing the decline of cituenship. He spoke of an acquaintance in New Ydrk “who refuses to clean up his street- front. He pays taxes and says the ci- ty should do i t . Meanwhile. he lives in tilth. We are losing citizens and gaining taxpayers,” he said.

The economic situation today is iimilar io that in the 1930’s Bookchin said. “Back then f ie were fightmg in r ! w streets. I i never oc- :urea to us that there was nothing %be m u d do * ’

But Bookcnir: said ;he raaicai 7rote:ts at‘ [hat day are no ionger

,iy-+ . ! I i n :@day’s -orid.“’ The

left-:ight divisions of class, the em- phasis on economic exploitation, one can’t talk of workers anymore, but 01‘ fathers, mothers, people. The traditional concept of revolu- tion is gone, we need broader definitions of change.”

Bookchin said the women‘s movement represents an attempt to do this. “Feminism has led to a reexammation of our lifestyles and [he oid social categories - domina- tion is something that extends beycnd economics.” There are deeper issues being raised today, Booltchin said, such as the relation- ship of men to women. of humans to nature, and the slgnificance of hierxchy. Domination will not disappear unless our bronze warrior mentality is replaced with a more cooperatibe. wrvlval-oriented at- titude he added.

Bclokchin spoke on the Euronean green movement.

“!n Germany the old boundarles sre cecoming blurred.” he said. !lid :onse:cative farmers are join-

i ng w i th s tuden t r ad ica l s , housewives are protesting with hip- pies all under the green banner.

Bookchin said the greens share common convictions on peace, scology and grassroots democracy. “But their politics is largely in- ruitive. they lack a unified theory.”

Bookchin said he feels socialism and capitalism are converging, noting the case of China. Under both capitalism and socialism ;ethnology is seen as the sawor that wiil free mankind from toii. he said. The old ideologies profess eventual freedom based upon domination, pressing the nose to the grlndstone and submitting to the organiza- ::onal hierarchy,” said Bookchin.

But he added: “ I t is nonsense :hat someone is going LO come along with a key and Gniock !he jail. You cannot habe freedom c\olving from aomination.“

Bookchin w i l speak again today i t 12::10 in Euchanan AIW.

From page 1 their programs, “we’ll unques- tionably establish ourselves as an in- stitution without integrity. We can’t allow budget pressures to strip our morals.”

Holubitsky said if senate decides to accept their budget committee’s advice then senate’s decision will in- fluence the board of governors to also scrap the grandfather clause.

And Holubitsky said senate should seriously consider the senate admissions committee’s proposal to suspend admission to the first year of the elementary and secondary education program as well as to both first and second year special education.

“I f you’re preventing people from enrolling in a program then you’re cutting it at least temporari- ly.” He said this is the first major proposal for program cuts, adding elementary and secondary educa- tion comprise a large portion of the education faculty.

Senate must establish guidelines before it decides what to cut and this has not yet been done, Holubit- sky said, adding the whole of senate and not just committees should decide what is cut.

News item: the Tory government announced new military uniform designs.

It’s up to us There are many among us who believe democracy to be the best, albeit

most difficult, form of government, and proudly preach (if not dictate, like our southern neighbors) the virtues of our governmental ideology.

There are fewer of us who realize the problems of popular rule within Canada itself. That the cruise missile is being tested in northern Alberta despite national polls showing a majority opposed to it is an example.

There are no doubt even less of us, the student body, who are aware that the failure of democracy extends to the campus itself.

Democracy depends on informed and concerned participants, yet when only seven per cent of the student body voted for their represenratives on the board of governors and the senate last year, we can only blame ourselves when the decision-making process becomes arbitrary, exclusive, and obscure.

One wonders if the majority of students actually advocated student funds being used to recarpet the Alma Mater Society executive wing of Spaceship SUB last fall.

The debate continues whether students or student leaders are to blame, but all agree that most students are unaware of the importance of their rep- resentatives.

Few understand that their two representatives on the board of governors are the sole student voice within the group that sets the university‘s budget and tuition levels. The board has more say in the future of the university than the president.

When so few participate in the decision-making process, the concerned minority are forced to overcompensate with dramatic acts, as when several students held a symbolic funeral march in protest of tuition hikes before last January’s board of governors budgetary meeting. The less than op- timum results echo the stress placed upon the democratic process.

As the Students for a Democratic Society of yesteryear becomes the Students for a Democratic University of today, which boasts about two dozen concerned members, it is obvious students need to show they care in order to make democracy work here, and now. Vote. It‘s the least you can do.

PM’s peace support just more baloney During and immediately after the

recent federal election campaign, the Progressive Conservatives pledged, if elected, to make disar- mament a top priority. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said his party would support a bilateral US.-Soviet freeze and claims that the Tories “take second place to no one in our committment to secure a durable and lasting peace for all Canadians and for the world”.

External affairs minister Joe Clark said; “ I believe the nuclear threat is so serious that having some impact on reducing the buildup of arms and trying to reverse the pat- tern of destruction in which the world has sunk must be the most important priority.”

The words of the new Tory government on the subject of peace are admirable; their actions are not.

In November, Canada was one of only 12 countries in the world to vote against a bilateral and verifiable U.S.-Soviet nuclear weapons freeze, including two NATO countries and all Warsaw Pact countries. As well, four other NATO nations refused to vote no and abstained.

Canada’s negative vote on the freeze not only breaks a Tory cam- paign promise, it also makes Canada one of only 12 countries in the world to be officially on record as being in favour of a continued arms race.

The Conservatives have also an- nounced that the U.S. air-launched cruise missile will be tested three more times in the next two months. The modern cruise missile is a serious and destabilizing escalation of the arms race.

Canada has already been asked to contribute one billion dollars, as an

initial payment only, to help upgrade NORAD’s air defences, primarily to meet the expected threat posed by modern, long-range Soviet cruise missiles now in development.

Canada’s security and economy would be greatly improved if, in- stead of participating in the development of cruise missiles, it took a stand on banning this new, destabilizing weapon.

The Conservatives have also an- nounced that they hope to deal with the unemployment crisis by greatly increasing military spending. Yet, study after study has shown that the military is the least efficient type of government spending for job crea- tion.

Large increases in wasteful and capital intensive military spending will not solve our economic and employment problems - they will only make them worse.

In addition, the new minister of national defence Robert Coates claims he wants to be the “Caspar Weinberger of Canada”. Canada is enthusiastic about Canada getting involved in Reagan’s Star Wars scheme; but seems unconcerned about revelations that the U.S. has contingency plans to deploy nuclear weapons in Canada (apparently unknown to Canada) in a crisis.

The actions of the Tory govern- ment, in its early days in office, clearly contradict the public statements about the “top priority” of disarmament.

Because the government is new, it is probably sensitive to public opi- nion, and may be receptive to public pressure. Such pressure is especially warranted at this time, because the government is currently

Election machine in gear Again, the election machinery is going full-tilt to prepare for the

upcoming elections. The senate and board of governors elections is the first matter of business, this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Jan. 16, 17 and 18.

Firstly, I would like to remind candidates that they must present a budget and a copy of their poster to the elections commissioner before polls open on Wednesday. Each candidate is allowed to have one poster within five metres of poll stations, and if a supply of posters (20) is submitted along with your budget, they will be displayed at poll booths.

Secondly, we still need many poll clerks for this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and for the AMS executive elections Jan. 30, 31 and Feb. 1. These are paid positions.

Finally, a reminder to all board and senate candidates that all cam- paigning must cease by 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Any publication or distribution of material after this time may result in candidate dis- qualification.

but they may be able to remind senate that the interests of the university and the student body should come before their private in- terests.

It’s going to get nasty. I suggest you pass on sweet naivete or per- sonal friendship.

For the first time since I can remember (starting in the mid-&) who you have on the board and senate is really going to count. It may be up to the students to be the conscience of the university.

Basically I’m saying that the game has changed now. It’s much more serious, and in order to stay in it students should go with their heavy hitters.

Let’s assume they’ve been around longer probably held responsible positions out in the real world, and have the moxie and the authority to make the vested interests on senate open their myopic eyes.

Being nice and quiet and sweetly receptive will waste our best forum for being heard. Interesting times ahead. I hope your course isn’t cancelled so that you can stay around to observe them.

TIA JUANA TILLY’S ATTRACTS UNIVERSITY CROWD

THAT Tia Juana Tilly’s, one of

Vancouver’s newest but already most popular nightclubs, is now appeal- ing to students. On Wednesdays it’s Mexican “Margarita Night.” Students get in free, and Margaritas are a specialty. At special prices.

“Tilly’s,” as most peo- ple call the club, is located in the former “Ankor” at 99 Powell Street in Gastown.

Since opening in Oc- tober, Tilly’s has quickly become, one of Vancou- ver’s “IN SPOTS” * for fun and a good time.

Billed as a “California Social Club,” Tilly’s claims to be “the place to meet people” and “the casual alternative’.’ to some of the more formal, pretentious clubs and pubs.

Judging from the crowds that Tia Juana Til- ly’s regularly attracts, they are well on their way to fulfilling these promises. Tilly’s has the best prices in town, as well, and early evening offers “2 tacos for only $1.’’

Owned by the same peo- ple that have Cisco’s Mex- ican Restaurants, Tia ,Juana Tilly’s‘ has a huge, reasonably priced ap-

petizer menu, with giant gourmet burgers as well. Owner Gary Gardiner says, “We want students to forget going to P.J.’s, Earl’s and Fogg n’ Suds, and come to us instead, have all the same things at the same prices, and stay for the action.”

With a huge multi-tiered space that seems to attract more’than its fair share of good-looking people, a casual dress policy, good food and reasonable prices, Tia Juana Tilly’s seems to have the success formula that will definitely appeal to students.

I believe that cuts in funding should be equally distributed throughout the university. Removal of programs and faculties narrows the scope of the university, and fur- ther increases inaccessibility pro- blems. If the decision to cut a par- ticular program is made, the pro- gram should be gradually phased out, thus guaranteeing those enroll- ed in the program a degree in it.

IN THE RUNNING FOR:

Interviewed by STUART~ COLCLEUGH and GORDON CLARK ane Ingram-Baker tee. “It’s better to take one big punch rather than several little ones.”

Harris. admits eliminating tenure (a move unprecedented in North America and requiring special government legislation) will likely discourage talented pro- fessors from applying at UBC when more secure positions are available elsewhere. But he ex- plains: “We just won’t be able to attract the kind of people we’ve had in the past.” As for the laid off faculty members, “We will have to tell them I’m sorry but this is the way it is.”

A s f u r t h e r c o s t - c u t t i n g measures, Harris favors streamlin- ing all degree programs to four years in length and instituting ses- sional library hours in which book withdrawals would be suspended after 7 p.m. leaving the libraries open for research. These measures would allow further reductions in faculty and staff and. thus more savings, he says.

Harris says the role of the stu- dent board representative is to get along with the other government appointed board members and “broaden their understanding 3f student interests.”

Harris, who describes himself as “the right wing candidate,” says next year will be a critical one for the university’s future and he hopes students will get out and vote, but he believes a smail tur- nout will work in his favor, ad- ding “I figure if I get 1,200 votes I’m going to win.”

Allan- Pinkney

adding he has strong left as well a: right wing views. “I believe in helping people who deserve to be helped,” says Pinkney, “but the guy thatls a bum on the street and just has no desire . . . except to be a leach on society, that person 1 don’t have much sympathy for.”

Pinkney believes his four yea1 involvement with Alma Mate] Society politics gives him a solid background for serving student: as a board representative. Hi: experience includes a 1983-84 stinl as AMS director of administration in additipn to involvement on the budget and management commit- tees of the Thunderbird sports complex, the Aquatic centre, and the AMS budget committee.

Pinkney feels student board representatives should. strive tc maintain their ideals and represenl students’ interests. But he say: they must also be on the 1‘ member board and that they musl get along with the majority to be effective. “They (the governmeni appointed board members) think in a conservative, business oriented sense and to be effectivc you have to use their own at. titudes to reach them.”

Program or department cut! and tuition fee hikes will be in. evitable next year, in Pinkney’! opinion, if the government pro. ceeds with another five per cenl cut in university funding as is ex. pected. He says any student whc has academic mobility would bc crazy to come to UBC if fees a r c raised another 30 per cent. On the other hand, Pinkney notes, “we do have a lot of faculty who really ought not to be teaching at this university and the board should take the opportunity to get rid of a lot of those.”

Pinkney says undesirable facul- ty could be purged without eliminating tenure by asking the government for money and legislation to “buy them out.” In addition the remaining faculty could be made more efficient by having their, teaching hours in- creased from the present average of six hours per week to nine hours as is the norm in some other universities.

next year. He is against cutting faculties or raising tuition fees and says instead he will push for a short term budget deficit and in- terim government funding for “the next couple of years.” UBC is presently bound by the Univer- sities Act to run a balanced budget).

.In the long term, Bennett favors setting up . a self-supporting en- dowment fund from tax deduc- table private donatiom and government grants. He says such a board-controlled fund would give the board needed autonomy and allow the university to engage in more long term planning.

“Middle of the road, maybe social democratic depending on the issues,” is how= Bennett characterises his. political perspec- tive. He says he does not approve Socred restraint policies in general and feels “(universities minister Pat) McGeer’s conduct is deplorable.”

Bennett believes it is important student realize “the issues facing the university now are probably the most serious in its history. There is a real crisis . . . and you must get out and vote pnd vote for someone who will take a stand on these issues.”

Board of governor elections are J3n. 16, 17 and 18, with an eve- ning poll Jan. 16. Students elect two board members ‘to represent them.

The board is the ultimate au- thority on this campus. It can veto senate and presidential initiatives. It sets tuition and wages. It hires and fires. It sets university poli- cies. It has 15 members, eight of whom .are government appointed business people who dominate the board. UBC’spresident and cham- cellor, two faculty representatives and a staff representative also sit on the board.

The five board candidates were asked a variety of questions relat- ing to how they saw a student board member’s duties, what they thought of provincial university policies and what they would like to initiate on the board next year.

Senate elections run Jan. 16, 17 and IS, with evening polls Jan. 16. Each faculty elects one senate repre- sentative and all students elect five at-large senators.

Senate is a body of 87 faculty and students, all UBC’s deans, and alumni administration members. Senate makes all the major aca- demic decisions on this campus and will choose which faculties, pro- grams or departments to cut i f UBC has to cut. programs. Many of UBC’s imporrant academic policy decisions are made in its commit- tees, especially the budget commit- tee, which recommends budget pri- orities.

All the candidates running for this body were asked to write replies to two questions:

0 What are the most important issues facing senate next year and how do you propose to deal with them?

They must not be afraid to confront the issues, nor must they be in- timidated by the academic interests on the senate. This is no time for wimps or naive sweeties.

I spent five years earning my Ph.D. in biochemistry and I have seen departments squabbling to protect their vested interests. I am prepared to be honest and direct in challenging the faculty senators should they permit their departmen- tal interests to override their responsibility to the entire universi- ty. Faculty dead wood must go first.

cessibility to the university. I will be an active, informed voice in order to ensure that these and other mat- ters will be dealt with in the student interest.

Students must become aware of academic issues. I want a more ef- fective way to communicate to students. A required assembly for first year students would be a start. .

Program cuts must be selective so that UBC’s high quality education is maintained. Guidelines must be reasonably set for these . cuts. Larger, professional faculties should remain while smaller pro- grams be cut, depending upon numbers involved both academical- ly and administratively. The availability of the program in Canada and perhaps the number of students unemployed after gradua- tion in the specific program should be considered. Students must be allowed to complete a program once enrolled, but in an alloted number of years.

Phil Bennett; an astronomy Ph.D. candidate, thinks his posi- tion on the graduate student socie- ty executive, his work as a pro- gram analyst and member of the UBC research community, and his involvement “in various student debates and battles over the last two years,” has given him the qualifications necessary for a stu- dent board representative.

Bennett believes the Socred- dominated board is unnecessarily secretive. .“There’s no need for all that confidentiality . . . some yes, but most of the issues do not need that . . . it’s just a bureaucratic cover-up.” He says if an i’ssue were important enough he would break board secrecy and report its proceedings to the public.

and strengthen the quality of those programs that have reached a high degree of excellence. The alter- native would result in mediocre pro- grams and undoubtably, mediocre degrees.

Factors such as quality, cost and enrolment must be taken into con- sideration in making program cuts. Unique B.C. and Canadian pro- grams and those that are of world- class distinction and high quality must be maintained. If program cuts are made, students currently enrolled in programs must be given the opportunity to complete their programs prior to its elimination.

Jennifer Chow

~ n y program cuts will, of course, adversely affect students as well as faculty, but I would rather see broad scale small cuts to the elimin- ation of entire small departments. The reasons are varied,’ but essen- tially, a small group shouldn’t pay the price for everyone else; a good university offers a broad spectrum of areas to study; and the more peo- ple affected, the more pressure there is on the provincial govern- ment to face the crisis in university funding. Senate then is faced with staying within current budget limi- tations, but maintaining quality and reputation of the university.

(C leave r e fused t o be photographed).

Steven Hill Students are almost powerless in

the university hierarchy. Although they are the fundamental raison d’etre of the university, their opi- nions are usually unsought and, if expressed, largely ignored. Upon returning to UBC this fall after a decade or so working in the “real” world, I was first struck by the long lines of students outside the Bookstore, patiently waiting to shell out their hard-earned bucks for textbooks. .Here was tangible evidence of student status-would Duthies make any profit if they operated that way? Bookstore lines are just an obvious manifestation of the position of students at the very bottom of the heap at UBC.

Student senators have a unique opportunity, and thus responsibili- ty, to forcibly press the student position in policy decisions. Although we are outnumbered on the senate, this is a forum where we can at least make our views known to the university community and public.

I have come to UBC after several years of being treated as a mature, responsible adult with rights and responsibilities, and this is the at- titude I will take into the senate. To

Board hopeful Steve Harris, economics 4, favors eliminating tenure and making large faculty cuts based solely on merit if worst case scenarios of a $20 million budget cut are realized next year. “ (Facul ty) cu ts wi l l be necessary,” says Harris, Inter Fraternity Council president and former chair of the Canadian Fed- eration of Students No commit-

The university must be prepared to mount an effective campaign against any further erosion of pro- vincial funding for university fun- ding - no more cuts! We must be active in suggesting alternative sources of revenue for education, and, I believe, must become more actively involved in fund-raising. Secondly, UBC must institute a program of women’s studies courses. Senate must take a stand against any move to erode faculty tenure - the one s ~ r e guarantee of academic freedom.

We must lobby for renewred fun- ding for the commonwealth student exchange which makes good univer- sity education available to students in third world countries. I would seek to reverse the student loan policies of the Bank of Montreai, and would insist on restoring full funding to the UBC Law Library.

I will fight any attempt at further reductions in funding for this university.

other programs. The decision as t o which programs to cut.will be decid- ed by the senate as a whole in con- sultation with the individual faculties and the board of gove:r- nors.

doe Ringwald The most important issue facing

the senate next year is eliminating : a deficite that could exceed $18 million. To date, the only sugges- tions have been program cuts and tuition hikes; I intend to look- for alternatives. There must be better ways of eliminating the deficit other than sacrificing the education qf thousands of students.

However, if program cuts must be made‘ they should be selectiye cuts in areas where the fewe~t number of students will be affected. Regardless of where the cuts are made students must be permitted tmo complete the programs they have started.

demic community. Concerning se- lective program cuts, I think that students presently enrolled must be allowed to complete their degrees, and if necessary, there should be re- strictions in further enrolment.

However, as it is almost certain that there will be cuts in funding again this year, it is just as cel‘ain that some cuts will have to be made in programs already existing at UBC. I feel that implementing restrictions on first and second year enrolment, rather than axing pro- grams already in their third or fourth years would be the most ef- fective recourse to be taken by senate. Remember, though, that for senate to be effective in preventing drastic cuts from being made in our education, it is the students’ voice that must be heard.

Justin Williamson Financial cutbacks. Although

this is theoretically a board of gov- ernors matter it seems the senate will be making many pertinent de- cisions. Two important areas are fee hikes and program cuts. Many studgnts, including graduate stu- dents like myself, will not be able to afford to stay at UBC if the fees are raised as much as expected (33 per cent for the next two years). If fees rise too much UBC will lose money because students will go elsewhere.

Across the board cuts have al- ready cut department budgets to the

bone. It seems selective cuts must be made. Without having estimates of possible savings it is futile specu- lating which programs sh,ould be cut.

It should be possible to let all stu- dents finish their programs. UBC is morally bound to let them have their education, and may also be leaving itself open to legal action, if this is not done.

I believe my picture is irre!evant.

Applied IkicHne dim Hamilton

The dominant issue for senate will be the guarantee to students that they will be able to complete a degree program once enrolled. There has already been a proposal suggesting no guarantee be given, but this is really unacceptable, for this assurance -is a fundamental re- quirement for a successful univer- sity, and must be maintained.

As for program cuts, it is not a question of if they come, but how severe they will be. If across the board cuts are made, there is a real danger of departments losing ac- creditation and respect in the aca-

Joanne Sasvari

Kenneth Shaw The most important issues facing

senate currently and during the next year will be money related matters arising from an anticipated five per cent budget cut from the provincial government. This problem and the side effects ,created by a shrinking budget will certainly be the key topic in future meetings. I intend to work with- a cooperative, friendlly approach rather than with a con- frontational attitude. University cutbacks have resulted because of the large reduction in government revenue. Unfortunately money doesn’t grow on trees, and we must all deal with this problem in a mature fashion by trying to minimize the short and longterm ef- fects to all parties affected.

If the provincial government con- tinues t o reduce the university’s grant, there is no other alternative than to make selective program cuts in order to maintain the quality of

The expected’loss of $18 miliion in funding next year will result in another 33 per cent rise in tuition,

.cuts in entire faculties, along with cuts in programs, classes, and in library hours and services. ’ Pro- fessors will most likely lose their tenureship and thus will depart for better wages and tenureship. We will have even more crowded classes and a loss of choices in pro- grams-ultimately a decline in our money’s worth studying at this university.

I would fight for across the board cuts. I’m against selective cuts because it is subjective decision- making - who will decide which faculties are more important than others?

For example, the senate could

The most important. issue facing senate next year is the continuing cuts to the university’s budget. These yeariy cuts are lowering the quality of education UBC is able to provide to its students. The board of governors has chosen to pass on some of the budget cuts in the form of greatly increasd tuition fees. This is decreasing students’ accessibility to a university education.

Student senators must address these issues by raising student con- cerns in senate - either by lobbying senators individually, or by acting as a group in presenting motions to senate. It is also crucial that student senators bring university business back to the student body so that

During the course of the next year, UBC senate will have.to face some very serious and very difficult decisions. Of these, the most impor- tant will be dealing with the issue of program cuts. It is unrealistic to ex- pect that a university can maintain its academic standing when students have no guarantee that they can finish a course of study into which they havecntered. Such a univeJsity would a t t rac t ne i ther good students, nor good professors. As senator, I would like to be able to say that there would be no program cuts at all.

Donna Chow The most important issues facing

senate next year arise from an an- ticipated $18 million shortfall in the operating grant from UCBC and how senate must ensure that academic excellence is maintained while minimizing its obvious defeats.

The current issue senate faces‘is the university’s moral and legal obligation to allow students enroll- ed in degree-granting programs to

B y DENISE COUTTS In the first Canada West action

last weekend in War Memorial gym, the UBC women's team demonstrated their ability to play tough basketball. But lack of ex- perience prevented UBC from wih- ning either game.

Friday the Thunderbirds lost 56-50 to the University of Calgary Dinnies. On Saturday night, UBC let their first conference win slip through their fingers, losing 55-54 to the highly rated Lethbridge Pro- nghorns.

the Thunderbirds played a poor first half Friday. The team re- bounded back strongly in the se- cond to chip away at Calgary's huge lead, but was unable to overcome their first half deficit.

This was not the case in Saturday n i g h t ' s m a t c h - u p a g a i n s t Lethbridge. UBC came out strong and played a solid first half, both offensively and defensively, taking a slim lead with them into the se- cond half.

Lethbridge, known for their tenacious defense, gradually chang- ed the game's tempo in their favor in the second half.

UBC began to lose their edge and by the 10 minute mark held only a one point advantage. The two teams exchanged baskets but tur- novers, inconsistent free-throw shooting and "forcing the ball in- side" were responsible for the Thunderbird's demise.

UBC's centre, six foot Colette Pilloud, and ex-Langara rookie Joanne Devlin were standouts for UBC in the game. Pilloud con- sistently hit clutch shots to keep UBC in the game offensively, leading the 'Birds with 18 points.

On defense, Devlin, an excellent all-around player, supplied a solid

' game for UBC. Her fine shooting abilities failed her as she had a chance to win the game with a last second shot. Devlin's attempt miss- ed and the young UBC team fell just short of defeating the number three rated Pronghorns.

The team must now rally back to meet Alberta and Saskatchewan

Board hopefuls talk From page 7

Nancy Bradshaw Nancy Bradshaw says as the

Alma Mater Society external affairs coordinator last year, she attempted to involve students in AMs deci- sion-making processes. Now she’s running for a seat on the board of governors and her campaign re- volves around a similar theme of student participation.

“The one thing I’ve emphasized in my campaign and as external af- fairs coordinator is the importance of student input,” she says. Brad- shaw sees her role as a member of

money without addressing the real issues.

Holubitsky stresses any cuts must be made in the open using rational priorities.

Last year the board made an across the board cut in the univer- sity budget. Holubitsky says this was a bad decision which should nct be considered again because it affects the quality of the university as an institution.

Holubitsky’refuses to say which programs should be cut except that “less important” departments should go first to protect depart- ments with a good reputation.

“We have to preserve our areas of excellence. For example, our commerce faculty is the second best in Canada.”

Holubitsky says UBC was losing its top professors because of the de- clining reputation of the university, adding it is important to keep these people at UBC even with the prob- lems of funding.

If he is re-elected, Holubitsky promises to push the board to take input from more people before making financial decisions affecting the entire university community.

(Holubitsky missed his photo ses- sion.)

the board of governors as “effect- ively and persuasively presenting students’ opinions.”

Bradshaw says the board is com- prised of business people who do not fully understand the needs of students at UBC. “The board of governors are the people from downtown. We have to get them in- terested in the university and con- cerned for students,” she says.

Bradshaw plans to bring board members to meet students. In this way she hopes to present the direct concerns of students. Through this process of consultation, Bradshaw feels the best decisions will be made.

‘‘I feel it is important to touch as many people as possible,” she says.

Bradshaw says the most impor- tant issues facing the board next year will concern the university’s underfunding. She doesn’t agree with the provincial government’s attitude towards education and calls for increased funding.

Bradshaw feels students should take a more active role making the government aware of the impor- tance of education. She thinks the engineers’ writing campaign last year is a good example.

“Governments are political,” she said. “And they respond to com- munity pressure.”

Bradshaw says another huge tui- tion fee increase at UBC will not be effective in dealing with UBC’s fi- nancial crisis, adding UBC lost $1.3 million in income last year because of a high no-show rate due to the higher fees.

Bradshaw argues for the cutting of programs as a means to save money. But she does not know which departments should be sack- ed.

“ I haven’t talked to a whole lot of students on that issue,” she ex- plains.

Although she doesn’t pretend to know the best solutions for UBC’s financial problems, Bradshaw said she is prepared to put in the time next year to make the board more aware of students’ particular con- cerns.

“ I mean it, I really do.” (Bradshaw failed to bring in a

picture).

Don Holubitsky As the only incumbent running in

the board elections Don Holubitsky argues he knows the problems fac- ing the board of governors next year.

“The main issues next year are all financial,” he says. “They are all mitigated by the fact the university will lose 40 per cent of its real bud- get over the next four years,” Holu- bitsky, medicine 4, is particularly concerned by the possible $18 million shortfall next year.

“By law we can’t run a deficit budget, and so we must find that $18 million in our budget. How we make the cuts will affect the entire shape of the university,” he says.

Holubitsky says the university must avoid looking for “easy money” as a way of dealing with the cutbacks. He cites tuition fee in- creases, cuts in student aid and ser- vices, and cuts to the athletic de- partment as examples of saving

Hairy puce blorgs in this tiny island community clogged their ears with puce sluce this week as Pango politicians bombarded them with literally snotloads of verbal slush. "1 loath lazy lethargic blorgs," spouted Stalin Pink Knees. "I hate lowly blorgs cause they wear lowly clothes!" sniped Tweed Harris. "A good politician is a photogenic poli- tician," chirped Paunchy Flab- shaw. "But please - no hard ques- tions!" Dreary Moore said that politics were not part of some hairy brained scheme.

bullshit. We must face the reality o f tightening budgets and sort out the clamoring, competing needs o f each faculty which tend to obscure the true priorities o f the university.

The senate must look beyond tenacity and persistence when evaluating the academic r e - quirements of the university, using a combination of objectivity and ra- tionality instead. This can be achieved by first clarifying the following issues: 1) The security of program completion must be guaranteed or UBC faces the ero- sion o f i t s legitimacy as a degree- granting institution. Without this guarantee the shadow o f doubt hangs over al l students. 2) Realistically, I believe that tuition fee hikes are inevitable in considera- t ion of more government cutbacks and the UBC $18.9 million deficit.

Bill Edwards must be getting tired of this.

For the past three seasons the men's basketball team has recorded strong performances at the Canada West Classic. In most cases, the coach would expect the,'Birds' im- pressive pre-season showing against Canada West Universities Athletic Union opponents to transcend into a similarly respectable regular sea-

son display against the same teams. But for the past three seasons that

expectation has not come. to frui- tion.

This year's third place perform- ance at the Victoria tourney was slightly below that of seasons past, although the 'Birds beat two na- tionally ranked clubs.

Saturday UBC beat Lethbridge 82-81 in the consolation final. Dale

Olson led the UBC with 24 points while Paul Johansson furnished 17.

Murray Hanna paced Lethbridge with 17 points.

The Pronghorns then fell from third to fourth in the national rank- ings released Monday.

UBC opened the tournament with a 91-71 win over Alberta Thursday night. Olson led the Thunderbirds with 30 points, effect-

ively compensating for the absence of leading scorer Ken Klassen, who sat out the tourney with an ankle in-

season play. The 'Birds must finish at least fourth to qualify for the playoffs.

This weekend, the Thunderbirds open their Canada West season with two home games. Saturday they host the Saskatchewan Huskies at 830 p.m. at War Memorial gym. Saturday the 'Birds face another en- counter with Alberta.

From page 11

The second issue is more general - the lack of student involvement in UBC affairs. I will set up regular public forums icvolving the student body, to keep students informed on senate issues and to use their input to represent them more effectively.

As to the problem of program cuts, I think that our government will continue to cut our funding, and that a longer-term plan must be implemented to deal with them. While using across-the-board cuts as a short-term idea, I would see uarnings issued to students that cer- tam programs be cut a year later, so :hat they wouldn't be stranded, and :hen Droceed with selective cuts bas-

would favour selective cuts as op- posed to across the board cuts. It is important for the university to maintain its quality of programs. If across the board cuts are made the quality in all programs will be hurt, as opposed to maintaining the quality in most but eliminating a few.

I am not going to commit myself and say something definite such as "trash arts". Instead it is best to wait for an evaluation of all pro- grams before making any concrete decisions.

The thing that is important to remember is that we have to fight to maintain quality education as op- posed to quantity education.

Economic conditions necessitate, however, scrutiny o f the best en- vironment for the provision of liberal arts and professional schools. tinder no circumstance Ron Yaworsky should students enrolled in a pro- gram be legislated out of opportuni- ty to finish their degrees.

Adrian Kimberley The most important issues facing

senate this year will be program cuts and accesibility. Due to the pro- jected shortfall of 18 million dollars program cuts are a real possibility. i t is important that the university make selective cuts as opposed to across the board cuts so as to main- tain quality of education.

What 1 intend to do about these problems is to work with other members of senate to achieve a mutually satisfactory agreement. I t is important to realize that we have IO accept that cutbacks w~ll occur. Therefore we have to make the most of a bad situation so as the minimum or' people will be ai-

The important issues facing senate next year are essentiallv :hose thar 1 have been dealing wlth as the present senator. Currently, we are grappling with the impact of financial restraint - resulting in a variety o t pressures on students. in- cluding TA funding reductiops, tui- :ion hikes and program cuts.

Law Paddi Arthur

The most important issue facing senate next year will be the manage- ment of the budget. As a student representative I feel that it is im- perative that student senators become organized so that they can be an effective power base. The ma- jor function of the student senators will be to see that student concerns are articulated in the policy-making committees and that these concerns are recognized by the committee and hence by the senate.

I f 1 am elected to senate i t will be as the student senator for law so my constituency will be the law students. I would, therefore, be in- terested in' looking after the in- terests of law students first and all students second. On the surface, across the board cuts appear to do less harm than selective cuts in the sense that we all suffer a little as op- posed to some suffering a lot. In the long run, across the board cuts will detract from the excellence that the university could provide. I f selec-

be allowed to complete their pro- grams.

Kathy Kerr The most important issues facing

the senate are: student cutbacks, tuition fee increases, library hours and employment opportunities. One must examine the present allocation of funds within the university to ensure that they have been distributed most efficiently. Also new sources of funding (other than students) must be sought.

The government must be con- tacted and made aware of the students' concerns over the above issues. (The Conservative govern- ment has already chopped rhe COSEP and the RCMP summer employment programs). A strong and persistent voice for the students is required.

If program cuts had to be made then 1 would fight for across the board cuts.

seiemo Kirk Hancock

The most important issue facing the senate is dealing with the reper- cussions of budget cuts. Eliminating

courses, entire programs and guar- antees are the top of the agenda. The short and long-term effects af- fect every student, staff and faculty member on campus.

As science rep, I propose to work with the senate by attending all sen- ate and science undergraduate ex- ecutive meetings. Secondly, I plan to keep students informed about issues through student publications and associations. I expect to receive student responses to be com- municated to the senate.

Although all programs should be evaluated equally, program cuts must be made selectively. Decisions will have to be based on a variety of factors: current and expected enrol- ment, staff and special equipment requirements and the needs of the community that supports this insti- rution - no matter how niggardly. Students enrolled in programs must be allohed to finish the full course of studies.
