The slavonic studies professor was quoting from a letter she sent to administration president David Strangway. The forum, organized by the Coalition Against Sexism on Campus, discussed strategy for stopping the ride, known by others at UBC as the Lady Godiva Ride. One hundred people attended.

“At this moment we’re at im- passe which is why we’ve called the meeting”, said Kyong-ae Kim, one of the forum facilitates. The coalition has been organising against the ride since early November.

The message of the ride to students , including engineer ing students, was rowdily discussed by both official speakers and audience members.

But another woman engineer disagreed.

“The ride doesn’t discourage women from entering engineering”, said Sandra Miller, Applied Science 2.

Wally Chan, the social coordinator for the engineering undergraduate society, said the coalition was singling out the Godiva ride for being a sexist event on campus.

“lt’s easy for you to focus on the ride,” said Chan. “1 think you should address more concrete issues for women’s rights.”

But coalition member Danica Cleave said the coalition wants to stop the ride so they can get on to greater issues.

“The ride is a public display of violence toward women,” she said. “Even i f other people and women do not see the ride, it affects them.”

The EUS will call a referendum on the ride only after it is held this year.

Wickens said the EUS has already set aside time to plan for the annual procession but did not have enough time to make additional plans to hold a referendum before the ride.

“The Godiva ride is how we get our spirit,” Wickens said, “It’s obvious it is one of our ways of attrac- ting attention to show other faculties we are alive and kicking.”

Wickens said all the EUS executive (made up of 10 men and one woman) support his position, adding that they have “gone over every change (to the ride), tackling ideas of other people”.

“lt’s difficult to explain sexism to someone who hasn’t experienced sexism or thought about it much,” she added.

The coalition has met once with administration president Strangway and will continue sending petitions to him, said Kim.

“Unless the engineers stop it, we have no choice but to turn to the administration,” said Kim, adding that the president has the power to expel any engineer who attends the ride.

Several people from outside of the campus also attended the meeting including one MLA.

“1 have been bringing up the ride in the legislature for the past ten years,” said Rosemary Brown (NDP-Burnaby-Edmonds). “We have to continue protesting until i t stops.”

One visitor from Washington state said the ride would be illegal in the U.S.

And everyone lived happily ever after until 1951 when the engineers organised the first Godiva ride at UBC.

The majority of engineers supported the ride for the first years with little media coverage between ’51 and ’56. The ride was thought to be in the spirit of the faculty.

Violence has often accompanied the ride.

with eggs and ice balls resulting in injury for some. The dean of engineering was flooded with calls complaining about the engineers behaviour. The IJbyssey office was invaded by 40 engineers who didn’t want their actions known.

Deuble standard erodes Western democracy By ALAR OLLJUM

The Western democracies’ claim to moral leader- ship in the international community is being eroded by an insidious double standard, the deputy prime minister and minister of justice of New Zealand said Wednesday.

“It is of grave concern that some who strongly support the rule of law domestically have chosen to put themselves above the law of nations,” Geoffrey Palmer said to 1 0 0 people in Law 101 at the first annual J.V. Clune lecture.

Palmer said France’s bombing of the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior last summer in Auckland harbour is New Zealand’s first hand experience in international lawlessness. The ship was to have led an international protest flotilla against French nuclear testing in the South Pacific.

The bombing and the ensuing arrest, trial and conviction of two French secret agents in New Zealand courts have severely strained relations between the two states in the past year, said Palmer. w

GEOFFREY PALMER. . .for peace

“The technology of modern warfare be it nuclear, chemical, bacteriological o r conventional has grave implications not only for our survival but also for the fabric of current international society,” said Palmer.

“New Zealanders have an almost universal hatred of nuclear weapons.”

New Zealand’s Labour government has recently declared the whole country a nuclear-weapons-free- zone and is actively seeking a nuclear-free-Pacific in co-operation with other South Pacific states, said Palmer.

New Zealand’s tough anti-nuclear stance has provoked the United States to cut defence ties between the two states, putting in jeopardy the AN- ZUS (Australia-New Zealand-United States) defence treaty. The US has threatened to use economic sanctions to force New Zealand to re- accept visits to its harbours by US nuclear-armed warships.

Palmer claimed no contradiction see page 2: NZ

exists between New Zealand’s desire for a strong defence and its rejec- tion of the US nuclear-umbrella.

New Zealand has substantially increased defence spending under the Labour government,” he said, adding his government has made proposals to re-open New Zealand ports t o US warships so long as these are known to be free of nuclear weapons and are not powered by nuclear reactors. The US’S long-standing policy is to refuse to confirm or deny the presence of nuclear arms aboard a n y of its vessels.

Palmer praised the work of the UN and blasted its critics.

“International law must be respected by all states, but the Western democracies have a special responsibility to do so, he said. Freedom and prosperity in the West and the sovereignty of small states is threatened by growing cynicism towards the UN Charter and increased acceptance of the maxim “might is right” in international relations, he said.

Palmer said the survival of civilized society has depended on the ex- ponential growth rate of international law since the founding of the UN in 1945. The global integration of economic activity and the threat of nuclear war requires continued strong support for the UN and the ideals which shaped it, he said.

democracies which could be com- pared to the League of Nation’s failure to take decisive action over the invasion by fascist Italy of Abyssinia in 1936.

The U N General Assembly should ask the International Court of Justice to rule South African apartheid a violation of international law, he said.

Palmer concluded by quoting Peter Fraser, the Prime Minister of New Zealand in 1945 and leader of the New Zealand delegation to the founding conference of the UN in San Francisco: “The failure of the League of Nations - one of the noblest conceptions in the history of mankind - was a moral failure on the part of the individual members and was not due to any fundamen- tal defect in the machinery of the League. It failed because the rule of expediency replaced that of moral principles.

“I would therefore stress that unless in the future we have the moral rectitude and determination to stand by our principles then this organisation will avail us nothing: the suffering and sacrifices our peoples have endured will avail us nothing and the countless lives of those who have died in the struggle for security and freedom will have been sacrificed in vain.”

Palmer will address the Van- couver Institute on the subject of parliamentary reform in New Zealand, tomorrow evening in Woodward IRC 2.

College muzzles Kamloops prof By KAREN GRAM

Canadian University Press B.C.’s profs are learning the hard

way that when you tell the public about the effects of restraint on the quality of education, the results can be painful - they can even lose their jobs.

A Kamloops college professor was fired in December for criticising the quality of education at Cariboo College after enduring one year too many of budget cuts to the college.

“Things just kept gett ing worse,” said Allan MacKinnon, a psychology instrutor with ten years seniority.

said Wednesday. “To believe in objectivity,

anywhere, is a lie. Not just benign, but pernicious,” Barrie Zwicker told 40 people in SUB 241K.

Journalists, when reporting, always look at one biased side, then LT they go to the other biased side and then decide for themselves what is objective, he said.

“Each of us is a subjective, emo- ’,,, %*,

tional individual striving to be ob- F jective, but we never will be,” he said.

Zwicker, a former Globe and Mail reporter and now a freelance writer-publisher of ‘Sources’, a contacts directory, was in Van- couver on a short stopover on his way to Nanaimo. He will be presen- ting a paper to the People’s Enquiry into CFMETR (Canadian Forces Maritime Experimental and Test Ranges) Nanoose Bay.

Zwicker’s presentation, “The Public’s Right to Know”, will state why the public should have the right

to know what is going on at the test range site.

“It’s quite simple: people have a right to life, (and) this information is a life and death matter,” Zwicker said.

Zwicker accuses the media of ig- noring relevant news-stories such as those on the arms race for the kinds of stories such as bus-plunges- down-ravine-in-India.

“The news is pernicious and a waste of time,” he said describing much of what audiences are offered by the media in the way of news: “it’s all arbitrary - the news is all manufactured.”

He told the audience they might question what he is saying, but how many of them would question ‘The World at 6’?

“The news pretends to be relevant, objective,” he said, adding, “the news is supposed to be new - I’m amazed at how much of i t is old. News has to smarten up, look at new relevaneies.”

describing the college as “second rate” and “a shoddy product (that is) getting worse each year.”

Last year’s budget cuts forced the college to increase first-year psychology class sizes by about 250 per cent to 100 students.

Cariboo pr incipal , Charles Brewster, took exception to the letter and formally reprimanded MacKinnon.

When MacKinnon wrote a second letter, he was suspended without pay for three days. The faculty association filed a grievance over the suspension, but the mediator’s non-binding decision heavily favoured the college.

MacKinnon was fired on the spot when he spoke about the mediator’s decision to reporters saying he believed his comments fell within the bounds of free speech, and he would not be “muzzled” by the

College’s threats of dismissal. He also sent a memo to department heads criticising the decision.

In his letter of dismissal, Brewster said MacKinnon’s behavior was “inappropriate, insubordinate, and defiant.”

“You are being disruptive to the orderly running of the college and you are being openly defiant of the lawful authority of the college,” the letter continued.

But John Waters, president of the College-Institute Educator’s Association - an umbre l l a organisation of 13 college faculty associations in BC - said Brewster is the person guilty of inappropriate and disruptive behavior.

“If the college disagrees with a faculty member’s criticisms, it can provide public refutation, and can publically crkicise the faculty member,” said Waters.

“It’s one thing to be criticised in a public forum. It’s quite another to be fired,” he said.

“If this decision is allowed to stand, then the rights of public employees and p.uticularly teachers will be seriously curtailed.”

The faculty filed a grievance over the dismissal and attempted to resolve the matter at a formal hearing of the collegt: board - the first step in a grievanze procedure.

The board, however, refused to .consider the faculty proposal, which included a retraction by MacKinnon of the more pro- vocative statements he made, and his full reinstatement.

The Canadian Federation of Students (Pacific) and the Cariboo College studenl council, mean- while, have pledged moral and financial support. to the protestors.

members of senate will no longer be allowed to sit on the senate budget committee.

A motion was passed at Wednes- day night’s senate meeting to only permit elected senate members seats on the budget committee.

The senate nominating committee said the motion if passed would guard against potential conflicts of interest.

Government appointees, deans, assistant deans and associate deans are now ineligible to sit on the committee.

Several motions were also passed on changing course titles, descriptions, eliminating courses some which have never been offered and introducing new courses to be offered next year.

New courses include a co- operative education program in physics, and a joint law and Masters of business administration degree. Graduates from the new L.L.B. joint M.B.A. program will be able to pursue careers in both fields. Applicants will have to satisfy requirements in the law and graduate students program for en- try.

A motion to change the wording of a calendar recommendation that

nursing students are “encouraged” to have access to a car for essential travel, to “should” have access to a car was passed after a vote on whether the motion should be am- mended to say “must” have access to a car.

Canons may broadside bowling alley The Alma Mater Society plans to strike the base-

ment bowling alley for a new copy centre and sitting area.

AMS director of administration Simon Seshadri said the bowling alley is being removed partly because a recent student survey rated the alley low in value and utility. He said the alley also is in disrepair and would cost $100,000 to repair whereas the copy centre is used to capacity and its present location (by a fire exit) has upset the fire marshall.

“The cost of the move is estimated at $210,000 which is to be paid back to the various AMS reserves and operating budgets over a five year period with profits from the soon-to-total 36 copy machines”, Seshadri said.

Another student mentioned the financial side. “The AMS thinks of nothing but profits,” said

Steve Lloyd, arts 4. Copy centre users seemed apathetic towards the pro-

posed move. “I would question enlargement as I don’t see huge

line-ups,” said Daphne Hnatiuk, agriculture 2. None of 15 students questioned felt there was a need

for the copy centre to be expanded. “Personally, 1 don’t mind the copy centre

From page 3 “We know that nothing is uncon-

He hopes the situation will cause people to take a closer look at education “and find out things aren’t as healthy as they first appear. ”

MacKinnon is willing to go to court if necessary.

MacKinnon says he has received a lot of community support.

“I’ve had total strangers on the phone expressing concern and outrage, and the letters to the editor have been overwhelmingly auppor- tive, he said.

Tuition takes toll UBC’s vice-president of finance

predicts the end of massive tuition fee hikes which have more than doubled the cost of attending UBC in the last four years.

UBC’s vice-president o f finance, Bruce Ciellatly, says UBC runs the risk of “pricing itself right out of the education market” if it con- templates any major ncw fee increases.

UBC currently holds the distinc- tion of charging the highest tuition fees in the nation.

Further increases, he says, would mean losing future studcnts to in- stitutions with lower fee:,.

“We just can’t have the large increases that we’ve had in the last few years,” says Gellatly.

“It makes more sense to have small increases in keeping with the inflation rate. We shouldn’t steer students to other provinces just because of fees.”

Gellatly says students can expect annual inflationary increases of between three and four per cent star- ting next year, an increase which, he says, pales in comparison to last year’s 11 per cent hike and 1983’s increase of 33 per cent.

The board of governors will vote on the proposal at its meeting on February 6 .

Gellatly says the board will “highly likely” approve the fee increase.

If approved, this latest increase would mean tuition fees provide 15

to 16 per cent of the university’s operating budget.

Student board representative D o n H o l u b i t s k y a p p l a u d e d Gellatly’s forecast but warned that university programs would suffer at the expense of keeping tuition fee increases low.

“I f there’s a massive budget cut, I would not expect any more tuition fee hikes above the inflation rate,” says Holubilsky. “Unfortunately, I would not rule out program cuts if the university is forced to meet a deficit.”

Ideally, any tuition increases should be accompanied by an increase in student aid by ”at least the same rate,” he said.

Chestnutt said she plans to send the bill for the evening’s non- entertainment to the president’s office. No figures were available at press time, but approximately 10 dozen beer, one dozen Kressman white wine, one cheese board and two salad trays were consumed at the non-event.

Sit to end hunger. 3 Canadian University Pmss

I n the spring of 1985 the Hunger Project began recruiting students from McGill University. A Hunger Project meeting in Old Montreal in February was attended mostly by students f rom McG~ll.

Each person uas greeted with a plasric smile and a name card, both trademarks of est, and was directed towards a seat.

The director of the meeting began by quoting Werner Erhard and John Denver, both of whome are founding members of the project. Denver has been quoted as saying of est’s founder “Werner Erhard is a God.”

Everyone was asked to introduce themselves, after which the trainer remarked: “That’s beautiful, everything is beautiful. You are ending hunger just by sitting here.”

At four hours, the briefing was uncomfortably long for most people. But i t was a far cry from the nine hour marathon briefing of 1977.

The trainer’s pace was slow and the material simplistic. She was fre- quently unable to answer questions or identify sources. Asked to address the causes of hunger, the trainer chirped: “ I t doesn’t matter; you just have to open yourself to the question of ending hunger.”

The Hunger Project firmly believes that the only obstacles to end ing hunge r a r e popu la r misconceptions; poli t ical and economic structures are unimpor- tant.

This is in keeping with the philosophy of Werner Erhard, who says you should “know less and less as YOU go along. In the state of knowledge that you don’t know, YOU get, as a flash of insight, the principle out of which the answer comes.”

The “forum for sharing”, which was punctuated by many references to the Hunger Project’s “financial family”, ended with a meditative exercise.

A short question period was followed by advice from the trainer to “do what you can to end hunger.” However, all the sugges- tions involved something to do with the Hunger Project.

TWO of the members of the au- The Daily reporters asked the dience, both McGill students, trainer after the session why all the

Fridav. Januaw 17, 1986

By RON CHARLES Reprinted from The Link Canadian University Press

Susan Murray has taught English as a second language at Concordia University in Montreal for eight years. She is also one of the lowest paid teachers at the school. Murray often has to meet with her students in the cafeteria or hallway because the two desk office she shares with 14 other professors is always in use. If she gets sick and can’t teach, she has to pay a replacement out of her own pocket. She has no job security.

If Murray leaves the university at 65 all she’ll receive is her four per cent vacation pay and a pink slip.

She wants people to know that being a professor is not all tenure, tweed and BMWs. She wants people to know that some part-time professors at Concordia - women for the most part - are working under conditions that should have gone our with the one-room schoolhouse.

Murray is one of the organisers of a part-time professors’ information session at Concordia in November.

More than half of the professors at Concordia teach on a part-time basis.

“We’re the Soweto of Concor- dia,” she said. “They ship us in to do the university’s dirty work and then they ship us out again. Students don’t know that there are two classes of teachers at Concor- dia. There’s the first class and then there’s us. . .we’re the untouchables of Concordia,” she said.

The university contends that teaching at Concrodia is not supposed to be the sole means of income for part-timers. Since the university offers no benefits, part- time professors are expected to work full-time elsewhere.

In fact many professors do. Many part-timers in Commerce and Engineering, for example, have jobs in industry.

Murray, who has had to take on teaching assignments at other in- stitutions, said that if she had a full- time job elsewhere, she would not be able to commit enough time to her teaching at Concordia.

“There are part-time teachers who only teach one night or two days a week but in our department we have to teach three nights a week,” she said.

The university’s language sectors have the highest number of female part-timers. In 1983, Division I - which encompassed all the language programs - had 134 part-time female professors and 81 part-time male profs.

In 1983 there were 743 part-time professors at Concordia, 311 of them were female. At the same time there were 705 full-time professors with only 114 of them female.

“It’s cruel. . .it’s unfair. . .it’s unjust. . .it’s exploitive,” said Mur- ray. “It is actually discriminatory”.

She said the language sectors have the highest workloads because professors have to coordinate with lab monitors and technicians. ESL teachers are .also the lowest paid part-timers.

The Concordia Committee on the

T H E U B Y S S E Y Paae

status of women recommended in its 1983 report that the university improve the situation of its part- time female employees (by improving the lot of part-timers in general).

“The undervaluing of women’s work generally, together with the predominance of women among part-time workers, no doubt con- tributes to, or at least reinforces, the low wages paid for part-time work,” states a brief by the Cana- dian Advisory Council on the Status of Women which the university’s committee used in its report.

The Brief goes on to say that “part-time jobs are invariably poor jobs. The predominance of women among part-time workers in fact reflects the lack of choice many women have in the labour market. That part-time workers are not as well protected from exploitation as f u l l - t i m e w o r k e r s f u r t h e r perpetuates the cycle of women’s labour market disadvantage.”

Murray contends that nothing has been done to improve the working conditions of those part-time professors who have little other means of income.

In fact, part-timers at Concordia attempted to form a union in ’81 in order to talk to the university about improving their working conditions. The unionization bid was defeated - in part due to the university administration’s negative publicity.

According to part-time teachers at that time, the university hired a Vice-Rector Academic as a “union buster”. In 1981, the Vice-Rector, John

Daniel, circulated a sharply worded memo “recommending” that part- timers vote “no” to unionization just five days before the unionization vote was scheduled. Daniel left the university in March ’84, a year before his contract was up.

Since then little has been done to organise part-t imers into an organisation.

Murray said that, because of the difference in backgrounds of part- time professors, a union would be difficult to organise.

“The Commerce teachers are 18 per cent of part-timers and they’re diametr ical ly opposed to an association,” she said. “On the administration’s part, they try to divide and conquer by treating teachers in different departments differently.

“(Just before the vote) they offered us a raise of $31 to $41 a week SO a lot of professors voted no (to union).”

Currently the salary scale for part-time professors is varied. Those teaching English make the most and those teaching English as a second language make the least.

Concordia’s current Vice Rector Academic, Francis Whyte, said he thinks the university should consider the problem of varied salary scales among part-timers.

“We should look at the possibili- ’ ty of setting up criteria,” he said. He said that many differences in pay between departments are due to d i f f e rences i n depa r tmen ta l histories.

Ritva Seppanen, a part-time English Professor, remembers the unionization bid with remorse.

“The problems that were problems then are problems still,” she said. “It’s preposterous. The most recent figures say that the number. of part-time jobs created by the Mulroney government exceeds the number of full-time jobs created.

“It’s a problem (part-time workers’ lack of benefits) and someone is going to have to address it. . .things like paid leave. You live in holy terror that you are going to get sick,” she said. “I suppose the alternative would be welfare.”

Seppanen thinks the university should consider recommendations made by the Canadian Association of University Teachers regarding part-time professors who have no other means of income. In its 1979 handbook the CAUT

recommends that, “As a minimum part-time staff. . .should have a reasonable rate of pay on a per course basis, pro-rated fringe benefits where this is legally possible (allowing those with their major employment elsewhere to opt out), academic freedom and freedom from discrimination, the right to be present or to be represented at departmental meetings, and should be eligible for tenure.

Tenure in part-time appoint- ments should be possible after seven years as a part-time academic staff member or after a longer period of discontinuous service provided the last three years are continuous. Tenure should be granted through the same mechanisms and on the same criteria as for full-time academic staff.”

“The question is how the administration organises its list of priorities. . .we’re just not there,” said Seppanen .

Whyte said that while the plight of part-timers is important it can’t be a university priority now.

“There are lots of priorities. There are lots of things that need very important emphasis and part- timers is one of them,” said Whyte. “This year at this time, there are other priorities more pressing than that one.”

“Everyone knows that there are problems and everyone agrees on what the major problems are. . .but nobody does anything,” she said.

“There is no body of part-timers with whom the administration can communicate.”

I Have you seen the latest Ubyssey

\ I No kidding, 1’11 bet they’ll love a 1 / great artist to hang around their

Flimsy whimsy for a friday Believe it or not, we at The Ubyssey are going to

write nary a word about the Lady Godiva-Peeping Tom event, leaving it to the reader‘s good sense to digest t h e many opinions presented in these hallowed pages.

Instead, we beg your indulgence as we plead once again for your informed participation in the upcoming Alma Mater Society executive elections and, if you have not already exercised your democratic franchise, the last day of board-senate elections is today.

At 4 p.m. this afternoon, the dice will be loaded and the great roll begins in the annual crap shoot for the AMS executive. If you’re thinking of running, walk - even run - to S U B 238 and drop off your nomination form. we beg you to do this because reports at press time indicate that this year‘s farce will be just a s un- palatable a s 1985’s with respect to the calibre of candidates.

And a s for the great board-senate non-race, we would hope that the abysmal turnout of decent candidates will not be complemented by the student vote on t h e few who merit support.

It‘s been a difficult time for The Ubyssey. Normally we would be making merry with the weaknesses and idiosyncracies of the aspiring careerists but this year there is nought to play with.

make our editorial writer’s life a bit easier for the next couple of weeks and produce a fine crop of perspiring pols to be gored by the horns of the press.

Ask not what your paper can do for you; ask what you can do for your paper . . .

‘RE’ rules okay “R before E, except after C. . .” Well, almost. But in

Canada, it really is R before E unless you subscribe to that damn Yankee spelling System.

Yes, the Ubyssey commits such heinous crimes as “color” and ”program” but it’s all part of the arcane rite known as CP (for Canadian Press) style. The rule is, succinctly, American spelling if it’s shorter, Cana- dian if it‘s the same length.

So why this rash of ”Center” around campus, when all u s eager beaver types know it should be centre, God Save the Queen? The Tennis Center, the Winter Sports Center, in Metro itself, the downtown center. . One would think the border had moved a few degrees north, harumph.

A ‘brief‘ primer to AMs elections By DUNCAN STEWART

Some annual events inspire awe or pleasure, like the return of the swallows to Capistrano, while other events promote thoughts of nausea and revulsion. It is with the last in mind that I note the Alma Mater Society elections are upon us again. Our fair campus shall soon be littered with posters that tell us everything about the candidate except “why?”

But, what makes somebody want to be a politician? What can make an otherwise nor- mal student act this way? Is it permanent? Is it dangerous? Can you get it from a toilet seat?

The average student shouldn’t worry. The usual motivation requires belief in the need for change and the willingness to get involved

- and actually do something. Needless to say, most UBC students do not fall under this description. But not all candidates are motivated by issues. Some, sad to say, are interested in an executive position strictly as a way of fleshing out a resume, getting a nice office or getting laid.

I DersDeetives I 1’ A I ’

Happily though, such careerists are usually easy to spot, get defeated and end up in a MBA program somewhere.

There are four areas where prospective politicians are hatched. Almost all A M s executives have belonged to either a club or service organization, a constituency or undergrad society, the fraternity system, or the AMS itself “(e.g. students’ council or the student administrative commission).

Once the decision to run has been made, a nomination form with 10 signatures is handed in to SUB 238 and the candidate begins to organize his or her campaign. A manager is chosen, usually someone with little experience but lots of loyalty and willingness to work. A strategy is laid out, and can usually be broken into:

poster design and distribution; classroom speeches; special-interest group speeches; and power base utilization.

The candidate has to determine which style of poster is best. Most feel the expense of typesetting (about $40) is worth it, and they usually pay for a professional studio photograph, so as to appear at their best. A

. .

good photograph can have a dramatic effect on votes.

Three items that must appear on every poster, in large print, are the candidate’s name, the position he or she is running for, and the dates of the election. These “who,’’ “what,” and “when” are often placed so as to take advantage of the way humans see things.

The final point of poster design is choosing how many words to put on a poster. Some people prefer a simple and uncluttered poster, designed to be read in passing only. However, the majority prefer to list issues that are of concern to them or experience that they feel is relevant to the position they are running for. The “blurb” that accompanies a poster is usually very general and vague, written in a way that will avoid controversial issues and will not alienate prospective voters.

The average print run will be from SOO-lOOO posters (about $30-$SO), and will1 need to be put up all over the campus. The postering will begin the minute the A M s bylaws allow. A team of up to 40 people will be assembled, well armed with staplers and masking tape, and the blitz begins.

No matter how well organized they are, the candidate and manager usually end up getting stuck with Buchanan, a building that requires hundreds of posters, where they spend all night unrolling yards of masking tape and making up vicious rumours about the other candidates.

Once 90 per cent of the posters are up, a reserve is kept to replace posters lost because of damage from weather, physical plant, pet- ty vandalism or even opponents (although this is very rare).

The next step is speech-making. The goals of the candidate at this point are twofold: to try to speak to certain “targetted” classes and to speak to as many people as possible.

The idea of targetting is to draw upon areas of strength. If a candidate feels he or she has a lot of support from the engineers, arts, grad students or first years, they will try to speak to those groups in an effort to “get out the vote.”

Next, you talk to as many big classrooms as possible where the professor will let you speak (some won,’t). The hard part of this is trying to avoid talking to five different classes, all with the same people in them. You want to deliver your message to as many different people as you can. Commerce is quite easy in this regard, in that by speaking to on-

ly a few classes each day, it is possible to speak to entire years of students.

Scheduling is all-important at this stage when an experienced campaign team has its greatest value. Properly executed, it is possible to speak to over 10,OOO students, a signifi- cant number considering only 3,000 usually end up voting.

One thing that you will notice if you hear these speeches is how devoid of content they really are. The professor is only willing to give you about a minute and all the candidate really has time for is to give his or her name, what they’re running for, and if they are quick talkers, a few snippets of information, usually to do with relevant experience. Don’t

-expect any lengthy political speeches, those are saved for the next stage.

There are certain special interest groups on our campus, and the intelligent politician will try to get all of them on his or her side. Engineering, the fraternities, athletics, and commerce are noted for making a collective decision and having the membership back it up at the polls. Not that the individuals within these organizations are unable to think for themselves, rather they understand the power and influence that a unified group of voters can wield. At one time, the cohe- sion of these groups was so great that a candidate with them on their side was almost guaranteed to win an election. Even though the power of these groups has diminished recently, they are still an important factor in any AMs election.

After the major groups, the candidate will probably address all the other constituencies. Most of them meet during lunch hour so you will likely see a herd of candidates running from building to building during the next week. These speeches do affect some votes, but not very many. For example, getting the arts undergrad society on your side may make you feel good, but it won’t deliver very many votes due to the (in)famous arts apathy.

The last groups to speak to are the A M s clubs. Politically active groups such as the Tories, NDP or Liberals can usually be counted on to take some interest in the election, and will occasionally offer support to some candidates.

The clubs that may not be political by nature, but may be politically conscious are also an important source of votes. CITR, Gays and Lesbians of UBC, Amnesty Inter- national all have the ability to swing a couple

of hundred votes. That may not sound like much, but it may be the decisive factor in a close election; therefore no candidate can safely ignore these groups.

You may note the majority of the club “interest groups” are vaguely left-wing. Remember the engineers, commerce and the fraternities are hardly noted for their socialist leanings. The left- and right-wing split is not that big an issue in campus politics, for the two sides usually cancel each other out.

The last aspect of a campaign is the proper utilization of a candidate’s power base. Every candidate starts with a certain number of people working for them. Whether these people are friends, classmates, co-workers or fellow bomb-throwers is irrelevant.

Without a strong “grass roots” organization a candidate is doomed. With a suffi- ciently strong power-base the “multiplier” effect comes into play. It is roughly equivalent to the shampoo commercial where the woman says “I told two friends, and they told two friends, and so on, and so on . .” If a candidate has people talking about what a great person he or she is, the election is pretty well in the bag.

And that is all the election is about. The votes are cast and counted and a new executive moves in. The point of the whole democratic process sometimes seems a little obscure. More often than not the candidate who wins is chosen by their sex, their appearance or their faculty instead of for their ability or commitment to students.

Having your name first or last on the ballot can be worth more votes than a clear and moral stand on important issues. And that’s a bit of a shame, because UBC provides a pool of the “best and the brightest’’ in Canada. But we have only ourselves to blame if we choose tinsel and glibness over intelligence and sincerity.

The good candidates are out there, pearls among swine, but we have to ask the questions and make them accountable. Other- wise, we’re going to get stuck with a lot of faulty merchandise over the next five years. This election, read all of the posters, listen to their speeches, and don’t be afraid to confront them with. the issues. After all, they need.our votes . . .

Duncan Stewart, arts 4, is this year’s AMS coordinator of external affairs who has decided to leave politics before he gets further behind.

I Let t .ers Godiva gets their goat

Why can ’t engineers think less selfishly?

We have, as students of U.B.C., two courses to take when the ugly head of the Lady Godiva ride is raised every year. We can swallow our rage and embarrassment, or attempt to petition the “men” responsible to think intelligently about their actions and the people they hope to offend.

Would it be easier to force a camel through the eye of a needle?

’ And what about our perspective? Who exactly is responsible for the ride? What does it really represent?

First of all, to the students who oppose this event: do you think these engineers think sensibly beforehand about the people they’re going to offend?

Do they take into account crimes suffered by women throughout history? Would they think differently about the ride if their girlfriend was sitting astride the horse? Or how about Mom?

Were they witnesses during the degradation of human life at other times in man’s history? Were they in Nazi prison camps, black slave farms, or in many of the growing homes for battered women today?

Have they ever talked to a rape victim or tried to help a 1Cyea rdd prostitute leave the street? Have they experienced poverty or real hunger? Have they given themselves the opportunity to grow up?

Are we justified in attacking these children not yet out of their diapers yet? These men who have not thought beyond their noses yet? Or who have not had the opportunity to?

We must know what kind of “men” we’re dealing with here - where daddy has pa id for everything since day one.

They have little awareness of the serious implications of what they’re doing. So how do we convince mankind

and the engineers to think maturely and less selfishly about their actions?

Secondly, to dismiss the ride as fun is ludicrous, and anyone who does so is practising the most common form of irresponsibility: the blind-to-reality syndrome or self deception made easier.

Besides, what’s wrong with nudity, rape, incest, child molestation, murder, prejudice, prostitution? It doesn’t affect me or my little world and anyway, I’m just going along with the crowd. It’s not my responsibility if it offends other people. That’s there problem, not mine.

Come on, now, engineers - you know the ride is a blatant display and is obviously offending. You don’t have to ask yourself “is it right” because the answer’s already there. It’s as obvious as the red jacket on your back.

Geers nice but Godiva isn ’t

All right boys, enough is enough. No one is saying that you shouldn’t have fun, after all, you work hard and you deserve to play hard. I was thoroughly amused and impressed by the Christmas mirth you spread. Thanks for the candy cane; it got me through a rough day at the books. No one is saying that you aren’t a bunch of wild ‘n’ crazy guys either. I’m sure we all know at least a handful of you and we know that you are nice guys. This Lady

Godiva ride, however, is a totally different matter.

It is an event which blatantly pro- motes sexism (which has all sorts of implications, not needing further elaboration I hope). If an event also obviously upsets other people, can’t you think of something more clever, perhaps something more up- toda te? To keep up a so-called “tradition” seems to be a pretty weak and silly reason to senselessly offend other people. How many of you who carry out this ridiculous, archaic event really believe that it is only “good clean fun”? How many of you could d o it without your booze, buddies, and red jackets?

Think about it. It would be nice to know that you have integrity besides a bright engineering mind to add to society.

‘peeping tom parade’ perspective in the January 10 Ubyssey, as I don’t want Jacqueline Larson and Janet Patterson to think that their biased piece of yellow journalism is even worthy of the most primitive response.

I do feel obligated, however, to clear up the misconceptions created by the article about the engineering students of this university. As is often the case, those people who go through life with closed minds and open mouths often attract the most attention.

To say that “(engineers) commit violence against those who voice contrary views” is one of the many illogical and grossly inaccurate statements which littered the “perspective”. After voicing their contrary views, do the authors consider this letter (from an engineer) violent?

Concern ing the charge o f premeditated assault against the handful of protestors at last year’s ride, I wonder why the authors failed to recognize the dozens of arts and science students who also pelted the group with snow (“ice” was a nice touch here,) balls, and I saw none of the dastardly eggs that were a l l eged ly hu r l ed i n malevolence at the protestors. Do not misunderstand me: I sympathiz- ed with the protestors and felt sorry for them, and I do not condone any form of physical assault, but let’s not exaggerate what really happened to strengthen already prejudiced accusations.

The article went on to attack the engineering newsletter (don’t ask me what this has to do with the Godiva ride) and to present selected excerpts (words used to describe female genitals) and a “sexist” joke found in the newsletter.

I’m confused, though. The readers are led to believe that the neusletter is available only to engineering students. So how did the authors get a copy? The truth is the newsletter is available to anyone (distribution is much like the Ubyssey’s) and involves as many (or more) jokes and limericks about male genitals and the poking fun of male characteristcs (this minor detail was omitted in the article).

For completeness I will quote, as did the authors, only one of many examples from a newsletter: “Did you hear the one about the guy who took his dreamboat out and missed?”

The point I’m trying to make is that the newsletter is not meant to be taken seriously; anycne misguid- ed enough to single out certain

aspects and take offense deserves whatever self-inflicted disgust they can dig up.

One final point I would like to argue, although1 don’t see how any rational person could believe it anyway, is the statement that “The Parade is a symbolic manifestation of the engineer’s anti-woman attitude.” Anti-woman?? Speaking for myself and for the scores of other male engineers who have lov- ing girlfriends and wives, all 1 can say is that the irrational “insight” into engineering mentality is ludicrous and unfounded.

That the Godiva ride makes a statement at all is a surprise to me; it certainly isn’t taken to heart by those of us in engineering. I’m sure i f you look hard enough you may even f ind anti-society, pro- communist overtones in the ride.

But wait a minute . . . what colour are our jackets? . . . they’re red you say . . . you mean . . . like communists? . . . Oh my god . . .

Seriously, though, if equality is really what is sought after by the people responsible for the rash of letters and protests around this time of year, I’m sure we could find a willing male engineer to ride nude beside our nude Godiva. How loud would the protestors shout then? Of course, the male would have to wear bikini bottoms and a coat, just as our “nude” Godiva does.

If the issue is really not discrimination at all, but morality, then I think the protestors missed their march by about fifteen years. Morality went out the door with the burning of the bras (with which men had nothing to do). While this is no excuse to continue with wan- ton morals, doesn’t it leave the issue too large to place all the blame on the UBC engineers?

Let’s target the real villains, and leave those of us not willing to slip into the ranks of mediocrity alone. To me there is no question or no issue: men and women are equal. I feel sorry for those people who believe that seeing a nude man or a nude woman will suddenly change that.

What about Pit beef-cake?

I would like to respond to Janice Kirk’s letter and others concerning the Lady Godiva ride.

I am indifferent about this ride. You and many others have been biased and have not objected against ladies night at the Pit. The male “beefcake” stripper can be directly paralleled to Lady Godiva. The engineers did not react uproariously about his appearance last semester. I think the engineers would gladly thank you and others including myself for advertising their event. Both sides, the pros and the cons should make a compromise and not cause so much commotion over such trivial disputes.

Los Guats, McDonald’s add to Guatemalan oppression

By ANGUS FRASER “Are you aware of the fact that the Guatemalan army has successful-

ly crushed the communist insurrection in the province of El Quiche?”. asked the plain clothed immigration official. I immediately replied that I did know of the war but added I had a great respect for the army. After an hour of intense questioning I was given an exit visa and told to leave the country in fifteen days. But, what was more pressing on my mind was that I had to spend a Friday evening in Guatemala City.

The great thing about Guatemala City is that fast food restaurants abound everywhere like dwarfs in a circus. We decided on Macdonalds because of a terrible experience we witnessed at Piccadillys, the power- ful Guatemalan owned restaurant chain.

Some fellow who had just chowed down on a piccadilly burger and fries, which incidentally is like eating at Burger King and finding out that the junior cook didn’t drain the grease from your meal, bolted from where he sat, managing to pass us and the front dcor only to vomit all over the street. We never ate there again .

After a thoroughly delicious meal at Macdonalds we headed towards the American embassy - a must for any tourist in Guatemala whether American o r not. On the way to the embassy, we passed by the National Police building located in the center of town - a scary place with no windows, lots of concrete and the meanest looking bastards you’ll ever see. We didn’t stop and we didn’t look back, for in there “even the dead men lose their bones.”

Instead we wanted to go to the place where the shadow enshrouds both the idea and the reality - the American embassf.

We only got as far as the lobby where we were told t,) sit and wait for the press officer in large bomb-proof chairs while portraits of Ronald Reagan and George Bush stared down from above. We then spent an interesting half hour talking to the press officer who looked and spoke more like a candidate for the Young Americans for Freedom than a graduate from the State Department. “Angus you don’t seem to understand”, he said with great empathy. “ I t is not a war nor is it a counterin- surgency campaign; instead, we call it a low-intensity conflict.”

I left the American embassy feeling perplexed and angry. Our discussion produced nothing fruitful, as our young state department official managed to mix up, misrepresent, and misconstrue almost all the facts and figures concerning planned American aid to the country, the presidential elections and the war being fought in the north. One gets the feeling that this particular embassy is run by heartless, misinformed jerks.

Our final destination was Zona nine, the area where the rich and famous wine, dine and party.

The people who frequent these nightclubs are young, rich Guatemalans who prefer to call themselves the “Los (ha t s” . They all speak English, and they all espouse the virtues of capitalism and Reaganomics. And they are not afraid to say so.

The real capitalists are the little kids who wait patiently outside the nighclubs to sell their wares to unsuspecting tourists. They sell items such as chiclets and chocolate bars and if you’re lucky you can find someone selling unsharpened pencils. When you buy frorl these little kids you always feel good because you know you saved a bundle and you know that your precious pennies are going towards a good cause, like putting junk food into their stomachs.

Obviously the Los Guats would love to get rid of beggars if they could, but let’s face it, you can’t keep capitalism down I f you want the real story about Guatemala City look into the eyes of these little kids but don’t stare too hard because their pain and their anger might burn your head right off.

Talking beats. bullets history says By PAUL McDOUGALL

An invitation to South African ambassador Glenn Babb to debate the legitimacy of foreign intervention directed against Apartheid has been withdrawn by the International Law society at the University of Toron- to, after four professors at that institution threatened to seek a court injunction prohibiting the support of Apartheid on campus.

This is a most strange attitude to be adopted by an entity that purports to further meaningful education and lend itself to the goals of understanding and enlightenment. How may full knowledge of an issue, which includes the perspectives of all parties concern- ed, be attained and disseminated i f discussion is eliminated? And without such knowledge is there any hope for a peaceful and viable solution to a situation which is deteriorating at a most alarming rate?

f l

( freeatyk ... ) \ d

Historically, confrontation shows a consistent trend. When the tools of negotiation, dialogue being the most useful of these, cease to be employed, the tools of violence are employed. Would the introduc- tion of further violence improve the situation of a country on the verge of all out civil war? The track record of military police actions and peace-keeping forces is well known. (As is the relative ineffectiveness of economic sanctions.) Yet how else will the eman-

%

cipation of enslaved South Africans occur i f all sides close ranks and communication becomes non-existent?

South African Blacks will be free. This freedom may come at the price of much more human blood than has already been spilled in that beleaguered nation. To say the matter is closed to discussion is to ensure that I t will.

There is more to consider. We Canadians pride ourselves on having a free society. Since when does a free society attempt to inhibit the presentation of un- popular views? In a truly free society it is imperative that individuals be able to hear the opinions of others and decide either, "yes, I agree with this position," or, "no, I disagree." For who may claim the legitimate authority to do this for them. If the opinion is largely distasteful it will not be supported because the community at large will refuse to do so.

In instances where entire communities have committed reprehensible and abhorrent acts, i t is often been under circumstances where freedom of speech has been non-existent. When only 'one truth' is allowed to stand the opportunity for the few to mislead the many is great. Witness Nazi Germany.

I f our fine university should be faced with a situation similar to that encountered by the University of Toronto, we must have the courage to stand behind our convictions and let them stand the test of open debate in a public forum.

Paul McDougall is a Ubyssey staffer, a third year arts student and former U of T student.

Letters We're open to change'

The Godiva Ride has become the focus of public concern because certain groups have labelled the ride as sexist, a male celebration of their sexual control over women, and a symbolic manifestation of the engineers' anti-woman attitude.

In short, these groups are using the ride as a medium to voice their concern of the position of women in today's society.

This leads a to a misconception of the engineer's purpose in staging the annual event. The ride was never intended to be sexist; it has been twisted from an innocent and harmless event to that of a violent event symbolizing the engineers' hatred of women. This is definitely not the belief of the engineers.

We find it disturbing that the issues concerning the ride have been sensationalized by propaganda. For instance, today's EUS is being held responsible for anti-Semitic articles published in the early 70's. We are also being held responsible for actions that occurred in 1978-79, before most of us were even at UBC .

Also, with regards to last year's "peaceful" demonstration, it should be noted that the violent action took place after protesters at- tacked the Godiva Band, and tried ............................................. ............................................ ............................................. ............................................

to spook an already skittish horse. One band member sustained a split lip, and nearly lost his front teeth because a protester pushed the trombone into the band member's face. Most certainly, these protesters weren't peaceful.

We find it even more disturbing that the ride has been linked to rape and incest. Engineers may be a little obnoxious, but t o suggest that we participate in these acts of social in- decency is totally ludicrous.

Dr. Meisen, our beloved dean, expresses his concern that the ride discourages women from entering engineering. What about the women who are enrolled in engineering now? Approximately 12% of UBC's engineers are women, and this percentage increases every year.

These women definitely do not have an anti-woman attitude, yet most of them tolerate the ride because they don't perceive it to be something that it is not - sexist. They recognize that the ride is an event organized t o promote engineering spirit through participation, and in the words of many of the women engineers, "it just isn't that big a deal".

These women understand what the Godiva Ride stands for because they themselves are exemplifying Godiva's spirit. They have entered a challenging field, and are com- peting equally in the academic rat- race called engineering. They are not intimidated by social pressures, and are not inhibited in pursuing their goals.

The women engineers are also not alone in their neutral position concerning the ride: the majority of the populous just doesn't care.

The Lady Godiva ride controversy has been said to arise from the tension between a number of inaccurate and self-serving myths and the reality. This statement was intended to mean that the engineers' reasons for having the ride are inaccurate and self-serving, but it really means that the arguments of those who oppose the ride are inaccurate and self-serving when read from the engineers' point of view. The controversy arises from a difference of opinion, nothing else.

The EUS is open to change, and we welcome any ideas that will help us achieve our goals. Unfortunate- ly, no positive input has been sub- mitted. If there is anybody who would like to discuss possible changes with us, approach us ra- tionally with a proposal that will be mutually beneficial.

The Lady Godiva Ride is not a black and white social issue. Each side has good arguments for and against the ride. There are also a great deal of emotional and irrational arguments that are being produced by both sides. The ride has been hyped by anti-engineering propaganda, and the protesters would gain more credibility if the emotion was left at home. So far, no constructive criticisms

have been put forth, and until there are some, the ride will continue.

UBC hoopsters bounced by Huskies By BRUCE ENNS

Thunderbird Basketball Cdach I am not exactly sure but, I think

it was about 7 minutes into the second half in our Saturday game against the University of Saskat- chewan. We were 9 points down and playing very well. The whistle blew and we were called for a foul. Ken Klassen, our leading scorer and rebounder was fingered for his fourth foul.

We have played almost our entire p re - season s chedu le aga ins t American competition and have been very competitive. N‘e knew that our Canada West competition would be tough given the orher five

teams were all in the Top Ten in Canada but, we were playing well and we were ready. This weekend showed clearly just how tough the conference really was.

It- may sound self serving but despite the 88-63 whipping at the hands of Saskatchewan we played a solid basketball game. It was really close but our 40% shooting was what let us down and that was where the Huskies excelled. We worked hard to get the shots we wanted but the hoop just wasn’t big enough on Saturday night.

Klassen, Paul Johansson, Jamie Boulding, Cord Matson, Kevin Hanson and Doug Eberhardt all

played fine games. Boulding, especially, played well defensively holding 6’8” 260 Ib. Byron Tokar- chuk to 19 points and blocking the bigger man’s shot three times. Jamie also led us in rebounding with 8. Hanson and Johansson each scored 15 and Klassen, despite foul- ing out with 10 minutes remaining, got a hard earned 19.

On Friday, in Edmonton, the game had been decided by tur- novers. A swarming Golden Bear defence forced the Birds to cough up the ball a whopping 27 times as they extended a 7 point half time lead into a 93-77 victory. Klassen and Johannson led the Birds with 26 and 23 points.
