Jobs remain unclaimed By DEBBIE LO

Good weather and bad feedback are keeping students away from jobs.

JobLink coord ina tor Jenni fe r Matheson said the AMS employ- ment service was bombarded with forty new jobs last week but has had trouble filling them because students have given up looking.

The number of students register- ing with the service has dropped dramatically from about 50 per day in May to only three or four per day now, she said.

There are not as many students checking the job boards so they are calling students to notify them about the jobs that have come in. she said.

Matheson attributes the lack of student motivation injob hunting to low morale and the recent good weather. She said she phones many of the registered students but most are rarely home.

“They’re all at the beach,” Mathe- son said.

Matheson said the new job orders have ranged in pay from minimum wage to jobs paying nine dollars per hour, and include both part-time and full-time jobs.

She adds that most of the jobs are related to clerical, retail. and labor jobs, and many will continue in the fall.

New library planned for old bookstore site

Bv ELENA MILLER ernors student representative, said Your books may soon be breat!l-

ing easier. Plans are underway to erect a new

library building on campus to take many of the books presently housed in Main Library, thereby easinf, a “critical” overcrowding problem.

The new building, possibly a five- story structure, which will be located on the site of the old bookstore just south of Sedgewick Library, is ex- pected to cost $16 to 17 million and be completed within five years.

Most of the money for this capital funds project will have to come through private fundraising by the University.

“There is no reason to be optimis- tic about getting money from the provincial government for this pro- ject,” says Bill Watson, an assistant university librarian.

Watson said he expects it will take a year to 18 months to set up the fundra i s ing mechan i sm fo r t he library.

Since the departure last month of vice-president David MacMillan. UBC has been without a fundraiser. But Johnathan Wisenthal, chair of the senate librarycommittee, said he is assuming incoming UBC presi- dent David Strangway will appoint a fund raiser for the university.

“ I am confident the fundraising will go ahead,” he said. “There is a strong tradition of support for the library system at UBC fromall quar- ters - the senate, the board of gover- nors and the president’s office.”

Last month, the board of gover- nors approved in principle a motion to give the library building project “very high priority,” Wisenthal ad- ded.

Don Holubitsky, a board of gov-

there is a pressing need for space in the library system at UBC. adding he feels the multi-million dollar project is “achievable”. although it is “not a minor undertaking.”

He described the chosen site for the new building as “a prime site” on campus, adding the decision to erect a new building was chosen over an option to add on to the existing library building at an estimated cost of $5 million.

The building project will provide enough space for the library for some years to come and is “realistic” in terms of fundraising, Holubitsky said.

Senate member Wisenthal says he feels library expansion is an “excel- lent focus” for fundraising because everyone has a stake in it.

The university library is suffering from a critical space shortage and the collection is still growing. he added.

Librarian Watson agreed that space is short, but he said the library systcm can survive for another four or fivt years until the new building is complev. The library hasjust done a major “thinning out” of material in Main stacks and put many books into storage, he said.

The library has not decided how much and what material will be moved into the new building, but they are looking at moving the Sci- encedivision, whichconstitutesabout 20 per cent of Main.

“The amount moved depends on the size of the new building,” said Watson, adding that some other div- isions under consideration are fine arts and special collections from Main, and the commerce library from the Commerce building.

“No, I don’t think the AMS should have paid for it but our general manager (Charles Redden) made a decision (to pay) based on his opin- ion and his knowledge as an admin- istrator,” he said. “It is not some- thing we should set as a precedent.”

Seshadri, who signed the cheque with Collins, said he was in favour of paying for the accident because Chestnutt was on official AMS business.

“If you compare it to any other business, the company would have paid for it,” he said, adding “several

of the other signing officers did not feel that and would not sign the cheque.”

Seshadri and Mercer both said that if anyone wants to prevent thls happening again then the AMS code and bylaws should be altered.

“If people are not happy then we can makeanamendment oraddi t ion to the code stating that in future i t will be up to the person responsible to pay for an accident,” said Mercer.

Collins said the whole controv- ersy about paying the deductible would have been avoided if more expensive insurance had been ar- ranged.

He added the War Memorial Gym is a good place to have concerts but the minimum booking guarantees available make the gym impractical.

Collins said i t was questionable whether the number of concerts on campus would decrease if they were left t o private promoters.

The report also said the programs part ofconcerts and programs should remain unchanged and no more than four concerts per year should be held in the SUB ballroom because they usually lose money.

AMS programs had a budgeted subsidy of $28,000 for 1984-85 and spent $45,000. “I don’t think stu- dents are getting the level of service they should expect for $45,000,” said Collins.

They deliberated for almost two hours before the meeting and com- mittee chair Nicci Ricci presented a motion passed by council to hold a special meeting Thursday July 25 to discuss job performance.

“Hiring committee wants factual concerns for recommendations on hiring,” said Ricci.

The student loans allow $400 per month for food, clothing and ac- comodation. But the average rent for a student living off campus is $320, Stewart said, adding that $80 wasn’t very much for food for a month.

Council also unanimously passed

a motion “That the President of the A M S write a letter to C l T R (UBC‘s student radio station) stating that the Student Council reaffirms its intent to guarantee $100,000 for the bid for high power and wishes them good luck in their endeavour.”

“There was a hiring freeze which has been somewhat relaxed,” he said. “There will probably be isolated positions which should be filled.’’

Forestry dean Robert Kennedy said his faculty got permission from the administration to hire for nine month appointments.

“There are a number of cases where you simply have to have some bodies in place,” he said.

He said the harvesting section of forestry used to have three full faculty members but now has only one member who recently had a heart attack.

Mindess said preparation is con- tinuing on a faculty association re- sponse to the twelvc firings and the hirings are a separate issue.

He said the Canadian Association of University Teachers has decided to get involved with the battle against the dismissals.

“They will be establishing a com- mission of inquiry coming out of their academic freedom and tenure committee,” he said, adding the CAUT had set up a “B.C. defence fund” to give direct legal assistance to the UBC professors.

this year because no improvments have been made for ten years, rou- tine maintenance excepted.

He said the plan was influenced by an adminstrative decision to make the parking operation self-financing.

This year the adminstration feels that parking should pay its own way,” he said. “ I t was decided that if parking can generate its own funds, then the renovating work will be done.”

The main renovation involves lay- ing down a road bed and painting in parking lines, Hutchinson said.“Be-

When renovations are completed, the parking capacity will increase to 5000 cars, from 4500, said Hutchin- son.

In order to pay for the improve- ments, parking fees will increase to $32 from last year’s parking fee of $24.

Hutchinson said a provincial gov- ernment loan was taken out to help finance the renovations, to be car- ried out in July and August, esti- mated to cost $2 million.

The adminstration’s plans for B- lot have already collided with the

Fowler said the new computer was approximately twice as power- ful a s UBC‘s current most powerful computer, an Amdahl V8.

It should save students from hav- ing to “stay up all night to get a terminal,” he said.

He added that a number of the terminals for student use are being moved to the old bookstore building just east of the Computer Science building and 20 to 30 additional terminals would be installed.

The new space willalso have“close

to 100 microcomputers, including the Apple Macintoshes and IBM PC‘s or clones, for student use.

Fowler said the demand for com- puting power on campus has been grcwing at about 50 per cent a year and the new system would take up the slack for a while.

The new computer will handle both the Instructional ( I ) and Gen- eral (G) systems which will be re- combined, he said.

“ I think the students will get away from working madly day and night,” he said. “If they’re not happy now then they’ll never be happy.”

B-lot gets paved Barn, the wooden building beside the parking area.

“The administration sort of drop- ped this on everybody,” said Pat Darragh, chair of the capital pro- jects acquisition committee.

The AMS’s plans for the Barn required some grass area to separate the building from B-lot, while the administration’s initial plans for B- lot required paving up to the side of the Barn, Darragh said.

“We had prior approval from the Board of Governors for use of the land around the Barn. The adminis- tration was unaware of our agree- ment - it was a case of non-com- munication.”

The dividing line between B-lot and the area required for the Barn was still being negotiated, he added.

A M S president Glenna Chestnutt

said students could accept the hike in parking fees. “If students can see where the money’s going, I don’t think they’ll protest so much,” she said.

“The new lighting is extremely necessary - B-lot is extremely dan- gerousat night. But it’sa hell of a lot of money to pay to park near Thun- derbird Stadium.”

Summer students planning to re- tu rn to UBC this fall were resigned to the hike in parking fees. saying it could have been worse. “We have no option,” said Chris Kiliam, engineer- ing 7.

“They can do what they want. It’s the normal trend - everything’s poing up.”

SAVILLE.. .conjuring political comedy

Prestidigitation exposes class system

By DAVID FERMAN Best ofall was his ventriloquist act with a poster of Karl Marx. The audience was offered a democratic choice: we could hear Marx sing The International or I’m a Little Teapot.

If one must categorize Ian Saville he would come under the ‘other’ columnat the Vancouver Folk Music Festival. ” ..

T o my knowledge he was the only p e r f o r m e r w i t h t h e t i t l e of ‘socialist magician’ and his act was similarly unique.

Wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a red silk vest, the skinny Englishman performed the standard slight of hand during the hottest part of the day.

The magic was fine on its own but Saville’s treat is his political prestid- igation that includes socialist views and an English just-off-the-wall sense of humour.

As he began his first trick he admitted that, asa socialist, he should share theexplanation with thecrowd. Predictably, after the trick, he acted like any bourgeois magician and forgot to tell how it was done.

Perhaps his best magic trick was the Communist Manifesto rope trick, pages 3 1-37, Starting with three ropes of different lengths, representing three different classes, Saville tells us that the smallest rope is very power- ful, a s it coutrols the means of pro- duction. At this point everyone boos. “Oh, you have them over here too,” laughs Saville. When he describes the medium length rope as the mid- dle class the audience sits still, and a mocking Saville peers down from the stage, “I see most of you looking around to see if it’s alright to cheer.” Then Saville demonstrates what hap- pens in a revolutionary society ... and voila, all the ropes are the same size. “Those of you applauding are the revisionists,” he says.

Other magic tricks included mak- ing the symbol of imperialism (a Coke bottle, what else) disappear, and placing a Margaret Thatcher doll (“Bill Bennett in drag”) in a box of socialism and internationalism with a model cruise missie and mak- ing the missile scream, “Get me out; this thing is dangerous!”

When most of the crowd requested I’m a Little Teapot, Saville replied, “O.K., we’ll do The International. That’s a little trick I learned from our Prime Minister.”

Offstage Saville spoke softly of politics and comedy. Magic came first chronologically but his politics come first in priority. Politics are essential t o his performance, and he delightedly says, “Even people who disagree with the politics say they enjoyed the humour of the show.” The humour, he says, is not as direct as North American comedy. “Al- though l do have Karl Marx, the forgotten Marx brother is in the show.”

Hisact is unique because he draws inspiration from people as diverse a s Bertolt Brecht and Lenny Bruce. “I’m very surprised that audiences here have reacted very similarly to audiences at home,” he says.

Saville practises what he preaches. In recent months he has performed benefits for the English miners’ strike and Greenpeace. “ I think it’s impor- tant to keep the show relative and direct; you’ve got to be involved.”

My last question was a plea to have the disappearing Coke bottle explained.

Saville replied, “Well, socialism is not that simple ...”

Band plays new, rebel By DEBBIE LO

You could feel the energy in the band setting up on stage.

It made the crowd stay, the grass quickly disappear, the rustling stop.

And then Sabia played music as bright and fresh as the sunny day by the ocean.

Sabia, which was once all female now has two male players in their six member band. Its music emphasi~es the contributions of women in Latin American culture.

Sandinista Woman, one of the songs played, got the whole crowd dancing whether they were standing up or sitting down.

It depicts the Sandinista Woman as a “flower of Iron” who is breaking with the traditional role of women and is also involved in the rebellion.

The song sounded busy. It con- tained layers and layers of melodies combined with a variety of instru- ments, including the Auena, and Zampona, Andean flutes as well a s guitars and flutes with American and other Latin American back- grounds.

It looked busy. Each band mem- ber was playing a different instru- ment and singing, not to drown out the voices of the other members. but to contribute to the harmony.

The smell of Latin America was in the air as the entire stage filled with colorful motion and sounds, and motivated the crowd to snap and groove with the beat.

In an interview with Sabia band member Francisca Wentworth, she said Sabia tries to “humanize” the people in Latin America.

“Sandinista Woman is a political song about human struggle.” she said.“It’seasytoforgettheyarereaI

Wentworth described the general public, especially the American pub- lic as being unaware of the rebellion going on in Nicaragua.

“People think of South America as being below Mexico, miles and miles away.” she said.

“They don’t realize how much the U.S. has to do with the situation in Nicaragua.”

Sabia is a group that is trying to “build bridges” between our culture and Latin American culture,” Went- worth said.

‘Their latest album is titled For-

SABIA ... singing of thl

mando du Puente. which means building bridges in Spanish.

The group has been in existence for nine years. and started as a col- lege group for four years. Went- 1 worth has been with the band for six months.

Wentworth said the band’s deci- sion to include men was a musical choice. “We decided to include men who were feminist supporters. but we weren’t strongly against includ- ing men in the band,” she said.

The “new song” movement is the basis for the band’s music. which combines traditional instruments’

WATER ... folk fans cool off

Folk Fest alive and kicking By RICK KLEIN

The Vancouver Folk Music Festi- val turned eight years old on the weekend and by all indications Van- couver’s premier musical happening is alive and kicking.

For three days over 20.000 people sang, stomped and swayed to a vir- tual kaleidescope of sound.

The 58 performers covered a n extraordinary array of music. From the magical drum beat of local Jap- anese group Katari Taiko to the revolutionary ballads of Nicaragua’s Salvador Bustos, the eighth annual festival had something for everyone -traditional folk, Celtic music, blue- grass, Calypso, blues. and music from such far-flung places as Papua, New Guinea which simply defied description.

The Vancouver Folk Music Festi- val was more than just music. There were the jugglers and sword eaters, the stand-up comics both funny and otherwise, and of course the incredi- ble edibles. Organic favourites from Granny’s Juice bar and the Wild West co-op, plus whale’s tales, plus

souvlaki, hot dogs, pizzas, and any- thing else one might imagine biting into.

For the kid in all of us the festival had stilt-walkers, fire jugglers, and singingswampcreatures whocroaked and slithered through a giggling aud- ience. The favourite was the face- painting booth, which specialized in bright red hearts and turquoise stars.

For young and old alike the theme throughout was fun.

And then there was the sun. The sun hung overhead hot and

heavy, all weekend long. With the blazing heat, the huge crowds, and the dust in the air, the festival site at Jericho looked more like Bombay than Vancouver.

The ice cream booth was jammed, the beaches filled, and all superflu- ous clothing was stripped away.

When the sun finally did go down over the bay the real action started. The main stage was only open at night and it provided a focus for the day’s events.

The highlight came Sunday night. The Wildflower dance brigade drew an emotional response with a politi-

cal message on Nicaragua expressed through the power and grace of movement.

Then local folk hero Ferron had the large audience rockin’ with her kick-the-shoes-off, foot stompin’ rendition of several old-time favour- ites. Next came Riders in the Sky. a three piece cowboy band from Points- south. The Riderscombined comedy with gorgeous vocal harmonies. yodelling, fiddleplaying. and a uni- que display of musical inventiveness using the most primitive of instru- ments, the human face.

The last performance of the night was given by Ronnie Gilbert. who first appeared with the Weaversdur- ing their hit days in the early flfties Gilbert sang a moving tribute to South Africa’s slain black leader Stephen Biko. She clearly held the audience with the strength of her voice and the power of her message.

It was a message that seemed to rightfully conclude the long festival weekend. The political, cultural ex- pression that is folk music has found a permanant home down on Jericho Beach in Vancouver.

Apartheid When a government declares its country in a state of emergency. and

has not declared war on another country, it usually means one thing - it can no longer stay in power without extra-legal means. Declaring a state of emergency gives a government an excuse to spread persecu- tion and tyranny throughout its borders, and a convenient reason to rid itself of its opposition.

In South Africa's case, the opposition existed because of a gov- ernment Policv which said that black Africans should have nothing to do with white Africans. This IS a n unfair policy because it means no black person in South Africa can attain a position of power.

The policy of apartheid has been condemned both inside and outside South Africa. You would think any sensible government would have rescinded such a policy by now, considering what much of the world threatens to do if it doesn't. But not South Africa.

The South African government knows that if i ts black people were given the same rights as its white people, it would no longer be in power. The "tribal menta1ity"runsdeep in thiscountry, and the whites - for the most part descendants of 19th-century Dutch settlers - consider the fall of white rule not just as a downfall of a minority group but as the eventual death of a family tribe.

The white tribe also knows that several U.S. and European corpora- tions have factories in South Africa. And the heads of these corpora- tions would get very nervous if the current white power structure bowed out. Nervous to the point of closing down their South African operations, and plunging the country into economic chaos.

So, rather than pay the price of black freedom - the risk of losing power - the white South Africans show they are willing to become tyrants.

Already we see how this government uses its state-of-emergency powers. 113 people, 22 of them mourners at a funeral, have been arrested. At least 7 black people, angry at the government for its persecution, have been killed when they attacked the government's most visible arm, the police. This coming on top of 400 blacks killed in one year.

What we call civil r ights in North America has been tossed out the window.

Creating a police state may be a great way to snuff out the kinds of

Want to see a film about the nuclear arms race without leaving the theatre helpless? Then go see the new NFB production. “Speaking Our Peace,” which had its Vancou- ver premiere at the Planetarium on June 20.

Direc!ed by f i lmmakers Terri Nash ( I f Y o u Love This Planet) and Bonnie Sherr Klein (Not a Love Story: A Film About Pornography). this film features Canadian women working in the peace and justice movement who talk about the arms race. the power behind i t , and the kind of power necessary to transform it.

Speaking Our Peace: A film about women, peace and power Directed by Bonnie Sherr Klein and Terri Nash A National Film Board Production

Next public screening: Fri. July 26, 9:30 pm. Robson Square Media Centre Tue. August 6, (Hiroshima Day) 7:30 pm. Unitarian Centre, 49th and Oak.

The opening scenes, at the wo- men’s peace camp in Greenhafi Common, England, illustrate the traditional definition of power.

Inside the base. soldiers (men) guard cruise missiles. separated from the women outside by a high chain link fence. The women sing, weave material into the fence and rock it until i t falls down. Then, some wo- men enter the base where they are overpowered by the soldiers.

This is followed by the University

..

of Toronto physicist, Ursula Frank- lin, who analyzes power based on the threat of violence.

“Mil i tar ism, when you forget about the hardware. is a way of saying, ‘Do what I say or else.’ And to me. the essence of feminism and women’s experience is that it inte- grates diversity. enhances coopera- tion, and respects differences,” says Franklin.

Novelist Margaret Lawrence said, “The concept of power I would like to have and to wield is (the ability) to solve interpersonal and international situations of tension in ways that deal with communication and not violence.”

A second key concept is how the nuclear problem pervades life in the late twentieth century and is not limited to high-profile issues like cruise missile testing. We learn, for instance, that Canada is the world’s largest exporter of uranium, and the

100 mlilion tons of waste sand from uranium mining have created on- going problems for Canadians.

In Scarborough. Ontario, Dr. Rosalie Bertell, a Catholic nun and expert on low-level radiation, talks with parents and children about the radioactive sites on which their houses are built. telling them that they suffer a higher risk of develop- ing cancer by continuing to live there.

The film describes these people and others exposed to radioactivity a s “victims of the incoming World War II1,”Thegovernment’sresponse to date has been putt ing fences around the areas of highest radio- activity.

In Port Hope, Ontario. site of Eldorado Nuclear’s uranium refin- ery, a worker talks to the camera crew, telling them it is okay to eat the small fish from the nearby river because, “they aren’t a s radioactive

as the larger ones.” He also states that the refinery cannot be closed down because, “ I f you shut down Eldorado, you shut down the town.” Thisisaparticularlyengagingdia-

logue, one made more moving since the filmmakers resist the chance to make the worker look more ignor- ant than he really is. I t documents the difficulty people will have grasp- ing the qualitatively different threat which radioactivity poses to ou r livesand theecosystem. And it shows how people choose short-term eco- nomic interests over the life of our planet, because they perceive alter- natives.

The directors d o not stop at exa- miningcanadian problems, but turn to look at the means by which milit- arism and poverty are exported to the Third World. The narration suddenly and effectively jumps out of film time to state that in the thirty minutes since the film began the

peace world has spent $45 million o n the military, while 1.000 children have died of hunger-related causes.

Anticipating questions about the Russians. the filmmaker\ travel to the Soviet Union. where activist Kathleen Wallace-Deering talks with a representative of the Soviet Insti- tute for the Study of Canadian and American Affairs. Here. the new power of dialogue is shown.

While the official spouts the part) line that the Soviet llnion builds misslles only to defend itself from the United States. Wallace-Deering responds that this is the mirror ar- gument ofthe American one,and that historically, military build-up has always ended in war. The tone here is neither confrontational nor defen- sive. but tries. instead. to meet the other person at the level of under- standing of which she is capable.

Overall. the film is empowering because the women in i t have faced the nuclear threat. studied its inter- national dimensions and are now devoting their lives to working for 1 peace and justice. They provide pos- itive roles to men and women alike. t -

The film also succeeds in building a sense ofconnected-ness from scenes we know to some degree from televi- sion, but would remain fragmented within the forms of broadcast jour- -1 nalism.

P

Within an hour. Speaking Our Peace brings together the issues we must know about if we are to under- stand and successfully deal with the nuclear threat.

There is room for further explora- tion. however. Kleinand Nashcould r’ speak with men who are developing non-militaristic definitions of mas- culinity. for example.
