enaed up losing by the greatest margm in the Vanier Cup’s 23 year history. Such ridiculous odds were typical of the media hype surrounding the CIAU de- fending champs.

”That’s the big thing in the East,” Smith said, “they always set up the Western team.”

The media had much to build up to : the number one ranked ‘Birds were riding a 22 game win- ning streak against Canadian universities; quarterback Jordan Gagner was the first UBC player ever to win the Hec Crighton award for Canada’s most out- standing college football player; Frank Smith won CIAU Coach of the Year, and three other players were awarded All-Canadian hon- ors.

So what happened to the mmghty WIFL champs?

“Our kicking game totally

landed not one touchdown. “I just didn’t complete the

passes that I had to,” Gagner told The Province.

Although dropped passes and extremely slippery terrain didn’t help Gagner, in coach Smith’s words, “both teams played on the same field with the same wind.”

McGill used oroomball shoes to outrun UBC the entire game: the ‘Birds rushed 118 to McGill’s 344,203 of them by Mike Soles.

“I was surprised at how easy it was to run against them,” said Soles, who scored two majors and was voted the Vanier Lcup Most Valuable player.

UBC linebacker George Pet- rovas agreed: “you have to give credit to their offensive line. They dominated US.^

Tenants shafted in “Year of the Homeless” By Ross McLaren

Almost everybody who goes to sleep tonight in Vancouver will have a roof over their head. Only about 50 to 100 people will sleep outside in make-shift beds, in sub- zero temperatures. That’s the good news for 1987, the United Nations Year of the Homeless.

The bad news is that thou- sands of Vancouverites live in hotel rooms without protection from capricious landlords. These people often arrive “home” to find their locks changed or their front doors removed. These messages underline a point: if the landlord wants a roomer out, they’re out. It’s that simple.

“Managers often wait until the day after the rent is paid to evict their residents,” says Stephen Learey of the Downtown Eastside Residents’ Association.

T h e y don’t have to give writ- ten notice or reasons, they just say ‘get out’. Then it is a hassle to get the rent back. People on low in- come don‘t have the resources, so they get exploited.” Learey says.

“According to the United Na-

tions,” Learey says, “a homeless person is anyone who does not have security of tenure. There are approximately 8,000-9,000 people in Vancouver without tenure.”

Ralph Buckley, a member of a commit’se which wrote the urban core homeless survey summary this year, and past chair of Look- out emergency shelter, agreed that the issue today is quality of housing and security of tenure.

“The qualier of housing var- ies. Some hotels are cockroach ridden and others are clean. But if the city tells owners of (dirty) ho- tels to clean up, then rents go up,” Buckley says.

Buckley says the homeless survey, written by the city’s church groups agd charity organi- zations, calls for increased social assistance rates and protection for roomers under the residential tenant act.

But Buckley doesn’t think the report will have any impact on the government. %‘e sent it to the ministry of social services but they have gven us no input. Of all the ministries they have been cut back

the worst in the last three or four years. Their morale i s not very good,“ Buckley says.

“I think the year for the home- less i s a lo t of theory but not a lot of substance. It is not clear in my mind a hell of a lot has changed this year,” Buckley say.

Learey says more sx i a l hous- ing is needed so people can live in ‘decent housing“. And :n the last few years several socid housing complexeshave beenbuilt: Colum- bia Place, Europe Hot(!. , the Ford Building, and the Jame:; McReady complex provide clean, affordable, housing. But if social ‘lousing is not available, and if J d v e been turned out of your hotei room, the alternative is emergency shelter.

Vancouver has Ibur emer- gency shelters and on any given night, especially in the winter, they will be full, all 200 beds. David Jones, day sul~ervisor at Cross Walk, a Salvation Army emergency shelter, says the people who use the srelters are usually alcoholics, addicts or mentally handicapped lemons.

These people, Jones :jays,

CSIS Abuses to be reviewed Local watchdogs created By Tu Thanh Ha MONTREWCUP)

Recent abuses by the Cana- dian Security and Intelligence Service have prompted the crea- tion of a nation-wide network that will monitor the agency’s activi- ties.

“With all the activities which have been exposed in the last year - spies in the labour movement, monitoringpeace activists, falsify- ing affidavits - it’s our view that this is simply the tip of the ice- berg,” said network member Don Stewart.

“There is a need to organise local groups that will document incidents in their areas and ex- change information across the country,” he said.

The network proposes to hold public hearings in 1989 when CSIS will come under parliamen- tary review - as required by Bill C- 9, the original legislation that cre- ated the civilian security agency.

Last September, CSIS direc- tor T. DArcy Finn resigned after a federal court revealed his agency had filed a misleading affidavit to obtain wiretap authorizations in 1985.

CSIS is also being investi- gated by the agency’s review committee following discovery that Marc Boivin, an employee of the Confederation of National “rade Unions (CNTU), was a CSIS informer. Boivin pleaded guilty this fall to charges that he con- spired to bomb non-unionised ho- tels in Quebec.

According to reports by tht? Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion, the agency has also infil- trated the Canadian Union of Public Employees, the Canadian Auto Workers, the British Colum- bia Federation of Labour and the Centrale de l’ensignement du Quebec.

“If we can document enough abuses by the CSIS of the rights of activists - and if we can get trade unions and community groups to put pressure on the government,” said Stewart, “well hopefullyhave cross-country hearings in 1989.”

An independent Vancouver researcher, Stewart was in Mon- treal to meet civil rights lawyers, trade union officials and peace activists. CNTU vice-president Monique Simard confirmed that her union had been in contact with Stewart but declined to comment further.

Two weeks ago, Nick Ternette, a University of Win- nipeg lecturer, became one of the first Canadian citizens to obtain a copy of his RCMP file. The docu- ments showed the RCMP had been monitoring Ternette’s involve- ment with the NDP and various peace groups for at least 14 years.

In a similar incident two months ago, two Concordia stu- dents were stopped by agents claiming tobe from the RCMP and questioned about their involve- ment with a Montreal peace group.

In September, NDP MP Svend Robinson told the House of Commons that CSIS documents showed at least four agents had been recruited to infiltrate Cana- dian peace groups.

According to Stewart, more than 80 per cent of the CSIS staff is made up of former RCMP agents. Before the creation of the CSIS in 1984, domestic surveil- lance duties came under the do- main of the RCMP.

T h e y a r e continuing the same Cold War mentality of their (RCMP) predecessors,” Stewart said. m e CSIS is simply interfer- ing with legitimate dissent in Canada.”

Rugby team suffers first loss By Jody Woodland

For the second week in a row, ;he UBC Thunderbird rugby team dayed well on Vancouver’s mon- mon swept fields.

But this time the ’Birds lost .heir first Vancouver Rugby Jnion game 12-3 to the consis- ently powerful Meraloma club.

In spite of the conditions, the wo top clubs in the city produced L fine, exciting piece of rugby. But oomany whistles by an over-zeal- IUS referee stopped the flow of day, and kept i t from magnifi- ence.

UBC dominated the forward day, controlling the =rums and vinning almost every lineout. ’eter Kokan played well and took ‘verything that came his way in he lineouts.

On three occasions, UBC ame oh-so-close to scoring but ouldn’t touch the ball down. The Lamas never seriously threat- ned UBC‘s goal line. Penalties .nd kicking decided the game with he ’Lomas’ Chris Tynan hitting ‘n four short kicks in the second lalffor all of the Meraloma points.

UBC’s kiclung woes contin- led in the wet conditions as Bruce ordan only connected on one of

his five attempts and Owen Walsh missed a drop goal attempt.

Pressure from Sean Magee and Bruce Gray 20 minutes into the game led to a flyhack into the end zone. Tynan narrowly won the footrace with Magee to prevent the try.

After UBC fielded the subse- quent 22-dropout, Pierre Duey kicked a looping ball into the end zone with three backs in pursuit. Once again Tynan stopped the ’Birds, leaping high to take the ball away and touch it down.

A penalty gave UBC three points and the lead. The last ten minutes of the half were even.

Penalties marred the second half and stalled potentially strong drives by both teams. Three kicks inside the 22 and one from 30 metres out gave the win to the Meralomas.

Despite the loss, coach Barry Legh was pleased with the effort. “The forwards played a magnifi- cent game, tahng the ball and driving the lineouts,” said Legh. The downside was giving up six points on late hits and“our inabil- ity to commit the Loma backs to tackles and open up the running game.”

seem unable to follow through with their own plans. In November 1986 they passed a motion-

unanimously-to create an AMs run food bank. They've had over a year to bring the idea to fruition and nothing has happened.

The AMs food bank has never existed except on paper. And it never will if council passes a motion one week this Wednesday which will erase the original motion which created the food bank.

Simon Seshadri was AMs president when the original motion passed. Now a board of governors representative, Seshadri says the A M s doesn't have the capabilities and expertise to create and run a food bank.

But the AMs has proven they can do almost anything they want.

approximately $50,000 worth of high-tech equipment and several full-time salaried employees in just one month .

high priced lawyers in order to reap profits with an A M s run cookie-and-coffee business.

On a smaller scale, they can organize two work- study positions to research the mechanics and viability of an AMs run general store f q students-an idea proposed only last summer.

Centre chaplain, to help provide expertise and support from the non-campus community, council couldn't organize a food bank, or even a study of the need for such a service.

Clearly the ARLS has the capabilities and exper- tise-and a lot of energy-for projects that can make money. But when faced with a project aimed a t giving, their resources dry up.

And support from the student population was indefensibly weak. No one lobbied for the foodbank. Hardly anyone volunteered to work on it. And only one student has applied for the position of co-ordinator.

We all know that times are tough and money is tight at universities these days. It's a shame that students-and students' councilereact by using all their energies for ventures that will profit themselves rather than helping those for whom things are really tough.

But perhaps council will vote to keep the food bank. And perhaps someone will step forward to run it, or at least to determine if there's a need for it. Otherwise the food bank will g o down in AMs history as a n embarrass-

Debunking the popular myth of press objectivity

0 bjectivity is the first myth of journalism. Reporters influence the outcome of stories

by their choice of people to interview, by the questions they ask, and by the angle they choose to follow. It's inevitable.

But what each reporter does, or should strive to do, is be fair and accurate. The aim should be to air oppos- ing views and respect the readers enough to allow them to draw their own conclusions.

The second myth is that the commercial press "objectively" chooses which events and issues to cover.

The choice of news topics and the decision of where to place items in the paper reflects the biases of the

editors and sometimes the publisher. Unfortunately the commercial press is usually run

by middle age, middle class, white men-their choice of news and its placement reflects this.

And money talks, speaking for corporate publishing giants like Southam and Thompson.

The role of the alternative press, then, is to recog- nize that a bias exists in the mainstream press, and to recognize the need to give fair play to the 'other issues'.

The alternative press may lack glitz and glamour, but people turn to it for relief from commercial press pablum and to listen to voices the mainstream ignores.

paradox Pain is sensational

in more ways than one. And in modern times its elimination seems the whole duty of man, the administration of kind- ness . By this kindness, truths are hidden, rela- tionships stunted, and lives destroyed.

With such short- sightedness, the produc- ers of the film "The Si- lent Scream" decried the abortive process which the fetus sensed to be dangerous and uncom- fortable. But is this then the cruelty? Would the substitution od sugar drink for the salt solu- t ion ennoble the operation? Is thebabe, a foreigner, unseen, un- heard, unfelt, removed from consideration be- cause he is so far re- moved from direct sen- sation? And is this the year, the job, the ward- robe foregone to bring him into the world too painful to consider? Can we not live with the temporary discomfort by which resources are maintained, research is supported, the poor are fed, and our friends are encouraged? Let's find us moral guts.

Cannabis component of nutritious diet My figures in my article

on Cannabis in Canada (Nov, 13) were rather con- servative, as the letter from the person whose name was witheld points out. Not only have 50,000 people gone to jail or "crimes" involving Cannabis, but also the rate of convictions per year is in- creasing. If I abandon the conservative tone of my ear- lier article, I can speculate that, if present trends con- tinue, then more than halfof the criminals in North Americaaregoingtobedrug criminals. Furthermore, a good case can be made that it is the very laws against drugs themselves which seem to be the main motiva- tion and promotion of drug abuse. Many authorities in this field have simply given up hoping to ever see reason and humanity prevail, and instead with black humour are wondering and waiting to see how much the present system can withstand.

While I am at it, I would also like to give a less than cautious response to the sentence taken from the anonymous author in Law 3 that "Marijuana, along with other recreational drugs, are not particularly good for U s n

Ethnobotany that I omitted from my earlier article shows that Cannabis was native to Asia and most likely to China. The earliest archeological evidence shows Cannabis cultivation

to be a very important crop in Chinese culture. Ancient Chinese records list Canna- bis as one of the "five major grains". The Chnese used Cannabis as their most importantfibre source, from which most of their clothes and paper was made, as well as ropes and netting.

W e in Canada have been totally brainwashed to think of marijuana as a "drug". It is not. Salt and sugar are drugs, and so is any other concentrated chemical compound. Can- nabisis a whole green plant.

When the Chinese listed the plant as one of the five major grains in ancient times, they were not jokmg. Tothebestofmyknowledge, the ancient Chinese civiliza- tion had large numbers of people who for thousands of years ate large amounts of Cannabis. After cultivating large fields, the stems would be processed into fibre for textiles, the seeds into oil and the leaves and flowers would be a herb to help out a boring bowl of rice.

Eating Cannabis never has been proven to be harm- ful, in fact, the opposite is more likely the case. Eating marijuana is nutritious and good for you!

"he only way mari- juana can be harmful is because it is smoked, and then it is not the marijuana, but the smoking. This is where the illegality is influ- ential, because it is the

criminality and criminal subculture which aids and abets the smohng behavi- our, which is the way the death culture perverts Can- nabis and creates the medi- cal problems. That Canadi- ans do not have the right to cultivate Cannabis is espe- ciallyrelevant ifwe consider that eating the plant may be the gardener's goal. The law that makes a person liable to seven years imprison- ment for garden cultivation of Cannabis is totally in- sane! there is absolutely no comparison between eating pot and drinking alcohol. While an overdose of alcohol is fatal, eating marijuana is about as dangerous as eat- ing salad.

In conclusion I would like to point out that there is a strong correlation in our culture amongst our recrea- tional drugs that the more dangerous and conscious- ness decreasing a drug is, the more legal and available i t becomes, while the less dangerous and the more consciousness increasing a drug is, the more illegal and black market availability it will have. Alcohol andmari- juana are at the two ex- tremes of these trends. This sort of death culture can easily be understood from an historical perspective, but nevertheless the cur- rent situation is unjust to a psychotic degree.

Canadian editors debate objectivity of commercial press WINNIPEUCUP)

The media doesn’t reflect the interests of the readers, because it downplays the interests of churches, women, labour unions, farmers and other interest groups, said the editor of This Magazine at a recent debate.

Rick Salutin said the commer- cial press concentrates on inter- viewing the same group of people for their stories.

“They seem to assume that the population of Canada is ap- proximately 85 people,” he said.

But Murray Birt, managing editor of the Winnipeg Free Press, criticized Salutin’s assumption.

‘We are ethically concerned with editing so as to bring out individual prejudices,” said Birt. ‘We think affiliation with reli- gious, political groups or unions is fine, but those philosophies must not stop areporter from crossing a picket line to cover the opposing side of view.”

Salutin however questions the assumption of media ofjectiv- i ty.

“The press seems to be telling

us we live in a society where people in positions of power are there because of merit, that we live in a real democracy, that the economic system is a natural force with the

implication that the market never screws up, and the assumption that there are no assumptions in the papers,” said Salutin.

“Are you aware that only one paper in Canada is editorially opposed to free trade?” he said. “The press has known about free trade for two years now, and now they are talking about how they arebeingmanipulatedby the anti- free trade groups.”

Birt said Salutin‘s analysis showed alack of faith in the people in any newsroom.

“Big business does not cast its spell over our people,” said Birt, who had earlier said he felt the one section the Winnipeg Free Press could improve on was business.

Birt emphasized the Win- nipeg Free Press’ editorial auton- omy from its publisher, the Th- ompson newspaper chain.

“Our editorial policy is pro- duced by a committee including the editors and the board and the publisher, yet the editorial writers consult the publisher’s opinion very rarelv.” said nirt
