Ministers criticize visa student influx OTTAWA (CUP) - The

Council of Ministers of Education of Canada is criticising a federal department for bringing in “considerable numbers” of foreign students wlithout consulting provincial education ministers.

In a communique released Sept: 26, the council expressed its

“dissatisfaction with . . . the department of industry, trade and commerce which, with little con- sultation with the provinces, was responsible for the recent arrival of a considerable number of students from another country to study in post-secondary institutions in Canada.”

The CMEC was referring to an agreement signed in June between Nigeria and Canada to train 2,500 Nigerians at Canadian colleges over the next five years. Nigeria is paying all program related costs.

Provincial education ministers were first approached a year ago about the program, said Chris

Watts of the external affairs department.

“The Nigerian minister of education had met with a deputy minister from the Ontario ministry of universities to discuss the matter and attended a dinner hosted by the Alberta minister of advanced education”, he said.

approval to bus passes

B.C. Hydro’s board of directors have given final approval to a bus pass program that will offer discount bus fares for UBC students.

Bruce Armstrong, Alma Mater Society bus pass negotiator, said Monday the passes will be on sale at the AMS business office in SUB from Oct. 10-27.

The bus passes, which will cost $46 and allow unlimited travel every day anywhere in Greater Vancouver, will be effective from Oct. 16 to Dec. 31., Armstrong said.

But Armstrong denied reports that approval of the bus passes will mean an end to AMS involvement in the fight against the 15-cent fare increase levied by Hydro in Sep- tember.

SAC will be reduced from 10 members to seven under the new proposal. The council’s chairman will have more responsibility and will be directly accountable to the SRA, said Sandhu.

Another proposed change is relaxed quorum regulations, he said. A sliding scale will be im- plemented to determine a majority decision on an issue.

If more people voted on an issue, less of a majority would be required to pass it, Sandhu said.

“We want to keep the present formula for representation,” said van Blarcom. “Large faculties are under-represented already and any reduction would be undemocratic.”

By FRAN MACLEAN Poor communication ties with

the Alma Mater Society and The Ubyssey were the major complaints voiced by srudents at the student leadership-conference last weekend, student senator Arnold Hedstrom said Monday.

“The Ubyssey and student government got raked over the coals,” he said.

The students do not think they are getting their money’s worth from the AMS ,and The Ubyssey, he added.

“A large number of people feel that The Ubyssey is not fulfilling its responsibility to the students.”

Hedstrom said undergraduate presidents and clubs believe they

deserve more coverage in the Ubyssey than global issues. People were concerned about the accuracy of reporting in the Ubyssey, he added.

“Students feel that the editor should be plugged in closer to the student government,” said Geoff Smith, student administrative commission member.

Students attending the con- ference said they believe student government is also failing to adequately represent the needs of the student population, Smith said.

“They (the heads of student organizations) feel that the AMS does not reflect what most students want to see on campus and that it is not reflective of all student in- terests,’’ said Hedstrom.

Students voiced complaints about a number of things wrong with other student operations, said Smith.

“It’s too bad that the AMS didn’t show up.”

The student representative assembly members; said they boycotted the leadership conference because university issues were discussed in closed sessions and no positive results were accomplished at past conferences.

“Thz role of the administration and alumni was very negligible this year, as opposed to last year. Issues were to do with internal AMS matters as opposed to external university matters,” Hedstrom said.

Half the campus population had

representatives at the conference and they are unhappy about the existing situation within the AMs, Hedstrom said.

“The SRA, in boycotting it (the conference), are now going to have to realize they have to do something about the other half.

“People wanted to talk to student representatives and they weren’t there. Unlike last year all the fears and inhibitions the SRA had in not going were not fulfilled,” said Hedstrom.

Administration president Doug Kenny said Monday the leadership conference is an important function since it deals with issues that reflect student concerns.

“I find it most useful to hear students discuss matters of im-

portance to them”, he said. “It is profitable for the administration, faculty and alumni to hear the perspectives of students and I hope students will continue to have the conference.”

The issues discussed and the decisions made will be carried ou; by the students, Kenny said.

The proposal for a new AMS constitution was the first item on the conference agenda and com- plaints about the general inef- fectiveness of the present student government emerged when the constitution was discussed, Hedstrom said.

The majority of students present were interested in discussing the proposal .,that SRA executive elections be held at large, but much more discussion is needed con- cerning a publications board to control the Ubyssey, he said.

Both issues are proposed in alterations to the new constitution.

“For someone who has been an executive member on SRA and had to work through the summer and fall in the present system it is ap- parent that there are weaknesses.

“But the solutions are not as clear cut as changing - the con- stitution and setting up a publications board to run The Ubyssey,” Hedstrom said.

Pagm 4 T H E U B Y S S E Y Tuesday, October 3, 1978

The arts and government subsidy of the arts have come under attack again. Investment in the arts is a poor use of government capital runs the tired argu- ment.

The stock answer provided by artists and defenders of the arts is to provide examples of art or artists which were good investments, or to point to other government expenses which dwarf the $64 million spent by the Canada Council last year. Department of defense figures are a favorite comparison.

There is nothing new about these at- tacks on artists. Every year when the news copy becomes scarce and fringe columnists run out of manufactured mud to rake and sling, certain Vancouver media personalities set up the arts as a straw man for an attack on the Liberal government and their subsidies of the arts.

Vancouver Sun news columnist Doug Collins classifies artists as parasites and snobs who pronounce "art" with a nasal affectation. Collins uses the simple and cheap technique of taking a specific characteristic of a particular group and exploiting it to ridicule those people.

It is a technique which can be clearly identified in most of his tirades against specific groups, including East Indians, liberals and university professors.

In happier times, men like Collins would be churning out news broadcasts for Radio Free Europe or identifying communists in the Canadian govern- ment.

But those days are past and now Col- lins takes a kick at the arts. It is admit- tedly easy to build a case against the arts and government funding of them because art is not easily understood, allowing Collins to exploit prejudices about art with little fear of specific counter-arguments.

But this time, instead of offering the traditional defense of the arts, let's take a look at Collins and his friends, the equally obnoxious jaw-boners of hot-line radio.

Let's ask the same question he asks of the arts. Who supports them?

Doug Collins, Simma Holt, Ed Mur- phy, Barrie Clark - the names that ring like bells - flip like pages in old yellow newspapers and sound like all the cranky midnight calls of phone-in talk shows in the city.

Who pays their salaries? How do they make their bread?

Not one of them actually produces anything but anger and gut reaction. They sit on society like black crows or old harpies and sayonething simplisticly, repetitively and inaccurately.

These people are the real parasites liv- ing off society. Sure, they all have jobs. They sell newspapers, radio programs and have semi-political careers. They don't live off government money. Worse than that, they feed off the unhappiness and distrust of other, usually pathetic, people.

They are emotional parasites of the worst kind.

Allegorically speaking, a doctor ex- amining these creatures would find not a heart or head, but steaming entrails and a steel spleen valve.

We could ignore people like Collins and Clark by turning off the radios and overlooking their columns. But there is a popular saying that old soldiers never die

and certainly war veterans are worse because they keep telling old war stories until you leave the park bench or they drop off.

But let's look at art. Historically art has always been a part

of the fabric of society and an expres- sion of its aims and concerns. In the past, artists enjoyed the support and patronage of the pharoahs, medieval kings, and the Roman Catholic church. With the rise of capitalism and the grow- ing middle class, artists lost their former patrons and were increasingly supported by modern bureacracy.

Today's artists aren't out to defraud anybody. Not Mr. Collins or the general public. They've never embezzled, fixed

prices, given their divorced wives lifetime pensions, or even pocketed the difference between air fares.

Instead, they've chosen a particularly hard vocation. They're not doing art for money and if they are really concerned about their art they will continue to do it without government aid.

But government funds can make an artist's life much easier and help him to develop his talent. That money and the opportunity it represents, determine whether an artist will remain in this country and help develop our national cultural community or leave for the United States and Europe. If we want culture then we should be prepared to support it.

From page 3 On May 24, the long awaited

meeting with Laing took place. “For the first time, I think the

mines office implemented provisions already in the act for public protection,” says Tom MacKenzie, one of the Genelle residents who went to see Laing.

“But the Mineral Act gives a free miner the right to trespass whereever he .wants. He legally has the right to come into your front yard and explorle for uranium.

“Most people don’t own the mineral rights to their property. We had no legal rights to protect our watershed even though we’d been using it. for 36 years.”

A barricade was then placed on the access road used by the mining consortium. Built of scrap lumber, it says - ’WARNING NO TRESPASSING, WATERSHED AREA.

That was the morning the police first arrived. For most it was their first confrontation with the law.

“We were scared. People had never been confronted with this situation. We didn’t know what to expect. You think maybe you should go when the police arrive. Until you get angry enough,” says Norma McGregor.

For five hours the crowd faced the bulldozer. The police talked, explained and negotiated and in the end three persons were arrested for refusing to leave the road when ordered to.

“ I felt if I had got off the road then I may as well have gone home and stayed there,” says Brent Lee, one of three who were arrested.

“It would have been like con- ceding that they were right and I don’t feel they were.”

On a Saturday evening in mid July, there was another con-

GENELLE BARRICADE . . . protecting water rights

On June 30 the barricade was removed to allow a local equipment operator to do road repairs as requested by the department of mines.

“They worked on the road for a day or two and as soon as it was passable they took the drill rig up,” MacKenzie says ,.

About 25 people met at the barricade July 8 to discuss a proposal from Manny. Manny offered to guarantee a safe water supply for Genelle residents.

The small group who attended a second meeting ,that evening at the community hall were unhappy with the proposal, but the low‘ turnout seemed to indicate that community support was fading.

“Our solicitor told us the offer was worth almalst nothing and by Sunday night we were stalling for time,” says MacKenzie.

The committee’s fortunes changed after more than 50 people were found to guard the barricade to prevent bulldozers from going up the mountain.

frontation between the residents of Genelle and Manny Consultants. Manny took down the barricade and drove a truck up the hill after the regular guard on the barricade had gone home at 8:30 p.m.

By the time the truck came down the hill with a load of core samples in the back, there was a crowd gathering on the road.

Morale was high and the struggle moved into high gear.

Five days later a helicopter flew in at 6:30 a.m. and picked up two of the three loads of core samples. The third was stopped by a woman sitting on the boxes of waiting samples neatly stacked in the lift net. “I almost cried watching the second load go out. I was running up the hill as fast as I could and the only thing I could think about was getting to the site before the helicopter came back. When I got there I just sat down on it. It was the only thing to do. If those samples were going, 1 was going with them,” says Ellen Grant, who was also a picket captain.

A small army of RCMP officers moved in the next day to escort the remaining drill cores and the drill off the site.

Fifty police sat sweltering in the rented bus while 17 more strolled among the incredulous citizens.

“They don’t just move 50 or 60 police at a moment’s notice,” says MacKenzie. “I’m strongly con- vinced this was a political- move engineered from Victoria.”

The drill has not returned to the Genelle area and most people expect that it won’t in .the near future.

Genelle residents say it is not just their watershed at sta.ke, but the whole issue of uranium mining in B.C. concerns their protest.

“If we could go and tell them (people in areas where they might start drilling) what we know and what we’ve done it might speed the whole process up. By the time you get to know all the information it might be too late,” says Patty Palmer, a picket captain.

“I guess it’s against the law, but never considered that when you’re fighting for your life and your kids and your land,” she says. “If I was the only one doing it I

Pago 8 T H E U B Y S S E Y Tuesday, October 3, 1978

By DON MacINTYRE “We anticipated a much tougher

game,” offered UBC head football coach Frank Smith. That com- ment followed the Thunderbirds 41-9 trouncing of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies in Western Intercollegiate Football action Saturday at Thunderbird Stadium.

“We’ve had three good games and two bad ones in our peak and valley season,” added Smith, in reference to the ‘Birds 3-2 season record. That record breaks down to one win against two losses on the road and two wins against no defeats at home. In their only two appearances at Thunderbird Stadium UBC has outscored its opponents 100-12.

UBC opened the scoring in this game when quarterback Dan Smith unloaded a 65-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Barry Muis at 6: 18 of the first quarter. On their next possession the ‘Birds marched from their own 49 to the Husky end-zone in just seven plays, Smith capping the drive on an eight-yard keeper for the major.

Saskatchewan later began a sustained attack from deep in their own end only to have the UBC defense hold, forcing the Huskies to settle for a 43-yard field goal from place-kicker Dave Osiowy. Gary Metz countered for the ‘Birds, kitting a three-pointer from 23 yards out. The half ended with UBC ahead 17-3.

Smith started quickly in the second half, finding tight end Chris Davies for 40 yards and a touch- down at 3:23 of the third quarter. Defensively the Thunderbirds snuffed all Saskatchewan drives engineered in the second half, receiving outstanding play from their line-backing core, led by Kevin Konar and Gordon Camp-

opened its training camp last week with a roster more than half filled with rookie players.

But the ‘Birds are confident that the combination of eight returning players and the new team members will click this season.

Defenceman Ross Cory, one of the assistant captains for the Thunderbirds says he feels that this will give the team a new-look.

“The new players are all very enthusiastic,” he said, “and with the extra amount of effort they’ll be giving we should have a very competitive, fast-skating team,” he said.

Cory feels that the UBC hockey program rates as number one in western Canada as far as the management side of it is concerned. “We have a great coach and trainer,” he said, “and the fans here are fantastic. Their support really helps the team.”

Of the returning eight players, three were selected as all-stars last season and their experience should prove invaluable to the younger players. Both Cory and goalie Ron Patterson were on the Canada West first all-star team while Rob Jones was on the second team.

Additional experience will come from veterans Derek Williams and Peter Moyls. Williams, who is returning for a fourth year at UBC, will act as the team’s captain while Moyls, the teams other assistant

bell. The special teams also enjoyed a good day. AI Chorney in par- ticular constantly gave the ‘Birds good field position with his fine punt returns. “His finest game in two years, ” said defensive coach Bob Laycoe.

UBC struck for its fourth touch- down at 11:03 of the third. It was set up by a 48-yard Smith-to-Muis connection, giving the ‘Birds a first and goal from the Husky two-yard line. Running back John MacKay pushed it over on the next play.

The defense then added two points after trapping Saskatchewan kicker Osiowy in the end-zone. The play was the result of a bad centre snap.

The. Thunderbirds added their fifth and final touchdown at 1:52 of the last quarter when fullback Cord Penn plunged over from the one- yard line. UBC then faked the one- point convert and ran the ball in for two.

The score remained the same until late in the game when Husky defensive lineman Darrel Burke scooped up a fumbled punt and rambled 40 yards for Saskat- chewan’s only major. Osiowy added the converc and the game ended 41-9 UBC.

The ‘Birds dominated all aspects of the game. Offensively Smith headed the assult completing 12 of 19 for 248 yards. MacKay and Penn rushed effectively gaining 89 and 46 yards respectively. The receivers also faired well, Davies snagging four passes for 85 yards and Muis adding two for 111 yards. Gary Metz converted five touchdowns and chipped in one field goal.

The Thunderbirds now get a break from league play and hit the exhibition trail, meeting the University of Puget Sound Saturday at Thunderbird Stadium.

of rookies captain, will be back for a fifth season with the Thunderbirds.

The Thunderbirds begin this season’s exhibition schedule on Oct. 6 at home against the North Shore Hurricanes, and though the team has six or seven players over its limit, coach Bert Halliwell said the first team selections should be fil Ialized by then.

Cuban’s team lacked fidelity The LJBC Thunderbirds men’s

field hockey team used three second half goals to defeat the Cuban National team in an international exhibition game played Friday at Warren field.

The Cubans under 21 squad seemed tired having just arrived in Canada the previous afternoon. UBC took advantage of the fact and opened the scoring 25 minutes into the first half when Alan Hobkirk hit from the short corner. Despite numerous chances at both ends the first half ended with the ‘Birds on top 1-0.

Cuba evened the game early in the second half when Juan Blanco scored, making for what was shaping up to be a close finish. But

From this point on Thun- derbird domination was evident. David Bisset added UBC’s third goal only minutes later knocking in an uncontrolled rebound. The Thunderbirds fourth goal was scored at the 15 minute mark by Hobkirk, his second of the contest. Cuba was unable to mount any

serious threats and the game ended 4-1 UBC.

The game was Cuba’s first ever in Canada and was part of a nine game tour ending Oct. 8. Van- couver and Victoria are the only stops on the tour. It is being made in preparation for the World Junior Cup qualifying tournament in Mexico Oct. 14-22.

The Cuban squad will also be competing for the first time ever in the Pan American games being held in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1979.
