Thursday, September 26, 197 4
OTTAWA (CUP) — CarletonUniversity will distribute a heavilyedited version of its handbook ,Survival, in three to four weeks .
A statement issued by universitypresident Michael Oliver said th euniversity will produce a guide tolife book at the university .
The new handbook will b edistributed without the reference sto off-campus businesses which i nthe original edition rasied a stormof protest from university ad-ministrators .
The old survival book has beenkept under lock and key by theuniversity since its vice-presidentpulled the book out of circulationtwo weeks ago .
From page 1eviction notices are not en-forceable.
He said this is true of both the ol dand the new Landlord and Tenan tAct under which the rentalsma noffice is created. The new act willbe proclaimed some time in Oc-tober .
But AMS internal affairs officerJoan Mitchell pointed out that atest case could cost the AMS morethan $10,000 in legal fees if counci ldecided to pay for the defense ofthe five evicted students .
'Council decided not to fund a test
case unless there are othe rmethods of bringing the act toresidence .
Several council members saidthe act could be implemented ifvarious committees which governconduct in residence agreed toabide by it .
But grad rep Steve Mochnack isaid the system of student com-mittees governing residence ha sfailed because Rohringer insiststhat they be only advisory com-mittees .
Mochnacki, president of theTotem Park Residents Associatio nlast year, said he was formerl yagainst implementation of the ac tbut said Rohringer's attitude no wforces him to favor it .
"It's quite obvious tha tRohringer retains the right to evic tstudents," he said.
Mochnacki said the issue is no tbottle-throwing but the procedurefor remedying such acts .
"I don't condone bottle -throwing," he said . "It's an anima lact if anything is . "
Only council member Johan D eRooy voiced any opposition t oimplementation of the act .
He said it might prevent partiesfrom spreading out into halls o relevators because such areas arenot residential premises .
But science rep Ron Walls sai d
From page 1recognize the elected reps last yearand ignored their offers to ask artsdean Doug Kenny for anothe relection to fill the 23 vacan tpositions .
She said her fourth-yearworkload and position on twofaculty committees take up a greatdeal of time, and her term is nearlyexpired .
"There's really not much timeleft," she said. "If there areelections in October and someoneelse were willing to take theposition I would resign . "
Newly-elected faculty reps TheUbyssey interviewed in Februar yshowed a disdain for AUS efforts toboycott the elections .
Luscher, who said hernomination "just sort of happenedat a party", told The Ubyssey shedidn't care whether students ar erepresented.
Fox said she found validity onboth sides of the boycott question
Missing from the new book wil lbe information on such subjects a sBaker's beer store, boutiques ,delicatessens, discotheques,landlord-tenant relations, theatre sand venereal disease .
In his statement Oliver said hecould not meet the studentdemands to release the origina ledition, adding, "Some con-tributors are unwilling to havetheir names associated with theguide in its original form . "
The original handbook wa slocked up by the administrationbecause of a photograph they saidbordered on obscene, and severalcritical references to the ad-
enforcement of-the act would com eonly after complaints and said theact would not necessarily restric tparties.
Walls said he has lived in Tote mPark and current residenc eregulations there have beeninadequate in dealing with com-plaints .
"Some of the behavior in Totemlast year was far worse than whatthese five students did," he said .
Council members were generall yunsatisfied with passing only thecensure motion and the motion topursue implementation but couldnot find a satisfactory method ofraising4unds for a test case .
Acting treasurer Pemme MuirCunliffe noted that a test cas ecould wipe out the society' sdiscretionary funds and that takingthe money out of the reservesrequires a referendum .
Several council memberssuggested raising the mone ythrough dances or other socia levents .
In other business, council hearda presentation from head libraria nBasil Stuart-Stubbs defending thesite location of the propose dlibrary data processing centre .
Stubbs said the site at the nor-thwest corner of SUB is the onl yone possible because there will be aconstant flow of staff and librarymaterials between the centre an dthe main library .
He noted that the currentprocessing facilities on the seventhfloor of the main library have beendeclared unsuitable by a factorie sinspector.
Temperatures on the seventhfloor constantly reach 80 degree sand the area does not meet the firemarshall's requirements, he said .
The issue was considered b ycouncil because a 1967 agreementwith the administration stipulatesthat the AMS can veto proposals
and agreed five per cent studen trepresentation was tokenism, butsaid the election was a step in theright direction .
Griffiths said she was confusedby the boycott and Borrie said hedidn't know if there should be morestudent representatives .
Long agreed five per cent repre-sentation was "shoddy" and theregistrar shouldn't have held theelections, but said he ran becausetheatre department facult ymembers expected him to run .
Bailey said he didn't consider theAUS representative of studentopinion and said he should not hav eto report to the history students 'association .
Information on German repPaula Barran was unavailableWednesday .

The subject of the handbook wasdiscussed by the university's boardof governors who agreed for themost part that the book should notbe distributed .
But board member Bruc eCameron, former Carleton studentcouncil president, said theuniversity seems to be letting thefinancial implications of an up-coming $5 .5 million fund raisin gcampaign shape its judgements .
He said this years survival wastame compared to some earlierpublications of the universitystudent services office .
for buildings which detract fromSUB's architecture or impede theflow of foot traffic to SUB .
Council members said th ebuilding would impede traffi cbecause it lies directly across on eof SUB's main access routes .
But the main objection to thebuilding was that it provides only astop-gap measure for solving thelibrary's difficulties .
"It just seems rather odd even t oconsider a proposal to build a sisterbuilding to one which is obsolete atpresent," said arts rep Gerald d eMontigny .
"It's like throwing good moneyafter bad . "
Council voted to table discussionof the centre until its next meeting .

A people exists in our mids twhose civilization is ancient an drich. Many of use never evenconsidered this, let alone ap-preciated its significance .
They_ are a people who helpedshape Canada, especially BritishColumbia .
But again, most of us don't seethis .
Japanese prime minister KakueiTanaka unveiled a plaque for theAsian Centre at UBC Wednesda ybefore a crowd of about 500 .
,It was a mixed crowd, made u pof politicians, academics, students ,RCMP and members of th eGreenpeace foundation demon-strating against continuedJapanese whaling .
But all went smoothly .Tanaka arrived by helicopter on
the lawn beside the Place Vanie rresidence common block at 5 :30p .m .
He was met by administrationpresident Walter Gage, board ofgovernors chairman AlanMcGavin, classics head MalcolmMcGregor and Asian studie sprofessor John Howes . Theyescorted him to the constructio nsite of the centre where the un -
Who are these people? TheChinese, of course . A more difficul tquestion is : What is the story o ftheir history in B .C .
Grants were given to fiv eVancouver researchers because o fthat question . They are Harry Conand Ron Con, two Chineseresidents of Vancouver as well astwo UBC facalty members ,sociologist Graham Johnson ,
veiling ceremony was held .In a short speech given in
Japanese, Tanaka said he wasgratified to see the establishmentof the Asian Centre .
"I hope this centre will become aspringboard for better un-derstanding of Japan by th eCanadian people and will als oprovide an impetus to th edevelopment of Canadian studiesin Japan," he said .
After unveiling the plaqu eTanaka was escorted back to hi shelicopter and taken to the HyattRegency hotel for dinner and areception with Premier DaveBarrett .
The ceremony lasted ap-proximately 15 minutes .
Throughout the ceremony, abou t12 demonstrators held signs

Johnson says one of the purpose sof the research project is to informthe Chinese and non-Chinesecommunity of the significance o fthe Chinese.
Another reason is to underscorethe fact that Canada is a multi -cultural country in which the

The protestors explaine dJapan's whaling policy to thecrowd over a megaphone beforethe ceremony began, but did notinterrupt speakers at the actua lceremony .
"We were successful," aGreenpeace spokesman said. "Themain thing was to get the messageacross and it worked fine ."

contribution of ethnic groups mustbe recognized .
Result of the three-year project ,begun in 1972, will be a 500-pagebook. Its illustrations include acopy of a receipt for a $500 "headtax" .
This tax was imposed upon anyChinese individual wanting to liv ein Canada . It was in effect unti l1923 .
After 1923, the tax was replacedby the Chinese Exclusion Act, ineffect until 1947, which simpl yforbade any Chinese to enterCanada as an immigrant .
Revisions to the act in the years
New artsprogramdelayed
Proposals for a new inter -disciplinary arts program li estalemated until the arts facultyprovides the necessary initiative toform a concrete program, thefaculty interdisciplinary studie scommittee chairman said in a ninterview .
History professor Ed Huntertsays the proposed liberal art spackage program included studie sin English, anthropology an dhistory has been approved i nprinciple by arts dean Doug Kenn ybut will not progress any furtheruntil the committee produces aformal report detailing theprogram .
Huntert said the transfer o fprofessors into the program fromtheir current departments willrequire funding to replace thevacancies they leave .
"Up until now there has been noword on funds because no concreteprogram has been brought forth,"he says .
History prof Jim Winter, als oinvolved with the project, says theprogram aims to give students "anintegral package designed b yexperts from all the major artsdepartments and containing all thenecessaries of a liberal artseducation."
"This university is a super -market and the students areconsumer-buyers," Winter says . -
He says the proposed progra mwill aid students who have troublechoosing a coordinated program ofstudies .
"It would offer an alternative tothose students who now choosecourses like products on asupermarket shelf with little ideaof how these varying disciplinesinterrelate," Winter says .
A concrete program will requireapproval from the faculties, thecurriculum committee, the , art sdean and the senate .
following 1947 only permitte dmembers of the family of the in-dividual in Canada to immigrate tothe country . It wasn't until 1962that the Chinese finally gainedequal footing in terms of im-migration legislation .
From their first major im-migrations to Canada in 1858, theyfound themselves being heavil ydiscriminated against . Why? Theanswer is difficult and manifold .
They were good laborers . Thi swas one reason they were disliked .They would work harder and bette rfor lowe l . wages than white people .
Furthermore, there was thewhite community's fear of bein gengulfed by growing numbers ofChinese .
In 1871 Chinese and Indian soutnumbered whites in B .C . four toone. This was always an issue ofsort . It was so much in mind that anovel titled Writing on the Wal lwas written depicting a takeover o fB .C . by the Chinese and Japanese .
Nevertheless they kept cominginto Canada because labor was anecessity . It was an option of hiringthe Chinese or stop having thiscountry developed by cheap im-ported workers .
In the case of the construction ofthe B .C. portion of the Canadia nNational Railway there was th ealternative of either hiring theChinese or not having the railwayat all .
"If there had not been an yChinese laborers, there would beno B.C." says Johnson .
Although they were needed an dimportant, discrimination neve rreleased its fangs from thesepeople .
The American Labor Movemen tdid much to create this racis tfeeling in B .C . Especially helpful i nthis respect was the Knights o fLabor, an early type of labor union ,Johnson said in a recent interview .
And there was always the clas hof cultures . The general attitude ofpeople in B .C. was racist . It is anintrinsic quality of the BritishEmpire that founded B .C .
"The British empire wasfounded on racist sentiment," saysJohnson .
Discrimination was evident inmany other ways . A promotiona ladvertisement in an 1893newspaper for a Vernon hotelspecified' that Chinese need no tapply. It was a plus factor in at-tracting customers .
A shoppers guide published i n1922 in Vancouver pointed out allthe stores where there were noChinese working. Another plu sfactor .
On higher levels discriminatio nwas even more prominent .Johnson says : "You weren't ableto practice medicine if you wereChinese. There were no Chines elawyers before 1941 . "
These are only a few points indealing with the history of theChinese in Canada .
The entire history will b epublished in 1976 .

"Acupuncture is at least 4,000,000,000years old and was originally devised as ameans of searching for oil in technologicallybackward countries .

Alma Mater Society council sniffed at the edges of a$10,000 notion Wednesday night, but backed away with asevere case of the indecisions .
What council members did was consider a proposal toset a test case, possibly all the way to Supreme Court, t odetermine whether the Landlord and Tenant Act applies tocampus residences.
And faced with a notion with such far-reachin gimplication, they backed away and instead passed motions o fcensure against housing head Les Rohringer's eviction of fiv estudents on three day's notice.
The students were evicted from Gage towers on tw odays notice after they or guests at their party allegedl yheaved beer bottles over the balcony .
But under the Landlord and Tenant Act, tenants mus tbe given notice at least equal to their rent period .
However, Rohringer claims for various and sundry an dquite possibly false reasons, the act doesn't apply t oresidences .
What the AMS did Wednesday was consider takin gRohringer and his department to court in a test case to see i fthe act does apply to the university .
Such a move would cost $10,000 or more, since if th eAMS won the administration would keep taking the issue to ahigher court . The lawyers said it could end up in the Suprem eCourt. And the bills could end up in six figures.
At this point a certain quaking was noticed in severa lpairs of boots parked under the council table .
To raise the money they could hold dances and concert sto make money, rather than taking it from the budget .Everyone from the Liberal party to the Grape newspape r(and that's ranging over quite a spectrum) holds fund-raisin gdos .
This is a project of great import, both in its immediat eand general aspects, which should be carried through .
So council should get to work' right away eithe rplanning the case of figuring out some other way to bring th eact to the residences .
It's far better than passing motions censuring Rohringe rand his liaison committee for their unjust actions. Becauseunless council attempts something like this, the unjus tactions will just continue .
It's rottenSomething other than cheese sandwiches is rotten in th e
state of food services.That's shown in the 30 per cent rise in food price s
compared to lower off-campus figures . Especially when youconsider these restaurants are making a profit and foo dservices is only breaking even .
It's shown in the fact that food services still hasn't mad ea substantial dent in the loan they're supposed to be payin goff .
Glancing at the details, it seems plain inefficiency is th ereal culprit here . A debt has accumulated over the year swhich a new food services head is bound and determined t oeradicate . And to banish the debt he increased the prices 3 0per cent .
Tomorrow brings in-depth interviews with those in charg eof different food services pricing .
And then?
I was opposed to the governmentthen . But now things are lookingdifferent .
Things are different now becauseI'm seeing how that rule could b euseful .
Here I am on a campus, going t oall these boring classes which ar ebeing taught by American ,European and other non-Canadianteachers . It's not that they're al lthat bad teachers ; it's just that Ican't figure out what happens to al lour Canadian teachers . Wherrhave they gone? What are the ydoing? Digging ditches o rsomething? Can you tell me ?
Yet, when I think about havin gall the foreign teachers teaching a tour university, it begins to make agreat deal of sense. Really !
You see, sir, all those foreignteachers really feel at home . This
There has been a great outcry in is because they are teachingour country about "Canadian students who aren't Canadians .content" . At first I resented having The students are natives of th eto listen to this "Canadian content" teachers' countries . So, in light ofon radio stations and other media . that, I guess the teachers don't fee lI mean, I thought it was pretty too out of place . I mean, it's like

Back to the "Canadian content"but what is high quality is in the thing : Now, I guess you can se eminority .
how the CRTC rule could be ap -
plied to universities . Well, I think itcould be, anyway .
The only thing that bothers me isthat there wouldn't be very manyteachers left to teach. But, I guessthere wouldn't be too manystudents, either .
The Ubyssey appears on campu sthree times a week, sometimes to alesser extent than others (sic) . Anexamination of the odd issue of TheUbyssey leads me to believe tha ttwo, or even one, publication eachweek would suffice .
Tuesday's meagre eight-pag eedition less some 2-1/2 pages ofadvertising could have been savedfor Friday's edition, possiblymaking a more informative an dworthwhile issue .
It seems that when there is littleor no news, The Ubyssey still fillsup the pages of an unnecessarypaper . Removing the unnecessarycould save someone a great deal o ftime and labor during the course ofthe year .

Radicalfeminism
j
Recently, the women's studies section ofDouglas College appointed James Davies o fthe college's philosophy department t oteach a course in philosophy, religion andwomen . As a radical feminist I oppose thisappointment because a Vancouver Sunarticle revealed Davies is not sufficientlypoliticized in feminism to be of benefit to awomen's studies course . Women's studiescourses should be concerned with thepoliticizing of women through education andto teach a women's studies course one mustbe politicized in both radical feminism andfeminist socialism .
Davies is neither a feminist, nor asocialist . He is a former United Churc hminister and a liberal . He says, "Is itnecessary to be a women to understandwomen" — the answer is no ; it is necessar yto be properly politicized .
Davies, who still attempts to prop up theinstitution of the church — "Eve tempte dAdam, at least she did something active .Maybe Adam is really to blame for the fal lbecause he was too weak to resist"' fails torecognize that the concepts of the churc hare anachronistic to feminism .
The question is not whether Eve' sseduction of Adam was a passive or active
act; or whether Adam should be hel dculpable .
Rather, the question is why Christia nmyth was constructed so as to separate thespirit and mind and the flesh and body, wit hthe former domain ascribed to men and thelatter to women .
Implicit in the creation myth is the absur dnotion that Adam is superior throug hcapacities of mind and spirituality, an dtherefore closer to God (the fabrication ofmale imagination), and that Eve is inferio rthrough her reproductive function whic hplaces her closer to animal life and todevastating nature ; concommitantly to theforces of evil and seduction (again, thefabrication of male imagination, and fear) .
Davies also attempts to prop up the in-stitution of marriage ("It has proven to be aform of enslavement for some and it isn'tsupposed to be that way at all") — and fail sto recognize that marriage too, is an-tagonistic to the goals of feminism .
Marriage has not been enslavement fo rsome women, it has been enslavement fo rall women, economically enslaving .
A simple investigation into social an-thropology will clearly reveal to Davies thatmarriage is one of the means by whichpatriarchy has been maintained. Marriagedid not properly exist until men began t oclaim property, and in most societies, menwanting to claim immortality as well, foundit expedient to do so by being legally boundto women who could produce male heirs .
Through marriage, women have becom ealienated from the world of work, and more
importantly, from the world of politica lpower. Indeed, most societies have beenpatrilineal as well as patriarchal . (I suggestthat Dr . Davies read Patriarchal Attitude sby Evan Figes; and The Second Sex bySimone de Beauvoir) .
Finally, no course in women's studiesshould be taught by a person with sexis tattitudes .
After all, one would not expect to receiveinstruction in advanced physics from aveterinarian, however well-intentioned . TheSun's interview with Davies reveals that theman, however well-intentioned he may be, i sstill sexist ; culminating in his absurdcondemnations of women's potential forpolitics "I would like to think that womenare capable of bringing forth more human elegislation . . . but then it has been saidthat women in power become as powe rhungry as men, so it's hard to tell wha twould happen if there were a number ofwomen in important positions ." ; Davies ha snot done his homework .
He is totally oblivious of the fact tha tmany women have had to internalize sexistnorms in order to assume power .
Davies would do better to take a course inwomen's studies from a feminist than toprefer his services as a teacher of women . Icannot help but conclude that the womenwho invited Davies to teach this course werenew to the movement, and that they are byno means radical feminists .
Why else would they have chosen a sexis tman to teach a course in women's studie swhen there are so many well-politicized and
erudite women who would be delighted t ohave the opportunity to share theirfeminism with other women . Shame on yo uDouglas College .
I am sending 30 copies of this letter toDavies at the college so that he can give it t othe women in the course ; and I would b edelighted to share my newly acquiredknowledge on philosophy, religion an dwomen with the people in the course, i fDavies would not feel too severelythreatened by sharing his "pulpit" with aradical feminist.

Chile coup 'in our best interest
Colby, Ford deny CIA Chile rol eWASHINGTON (CUP) - Isn't i t
strange how American politician swill strongly defend a position eve nthough the facts show it to be false .
The U .S. has been through aclassic example of covering up thetruth during the so-calledWatergate era ending with th elong-awaited departure of RichardNixon .
During Nixon's battle to stay i noffice he consistently disputed thefacts, claiming they were lie sperpetrated by his enemies .
And now his successor, Geral d"Mr . Clean" Ford is pullin gsomewhat the same trick .
It seems that the Nixon ad -ministration authorized more tha n$8 million for covert CIA activitiesagainst the left-wing governmentin Chile from 1970 to 1973 .
During the last scheduled year o fCIA involvement in the Sout hAmerican country, the govern-ment of Marxist leader SalvadoreAllende was overthrown by right-wing military forces .
The obvious inference to drawfrom these facts is that the CIA
were somehow involved inAllende' s overthrow and eventua ldeath .
However, Ford denies the U .S .government or the CIA ha d"anything whatsoever" to do withthe coup which overthrew Allende .
Ford was speaking at a recentWhite House press conference andmade the statements in answer toquestions about former CI Adirector William Colby's chargesof the Nixon administration's in-volvement in Chile .
Ford said the CIA had tried threeor four years ago to preserve theChilean opposition newspapers andpolitical parties which, he charged ,Allende was trying to destroy .
"I think this was in the best in-terests of the people of Chile an dcertainly in our best interests," hesaid .
He also said there is a historica lprecedent for interventiQn when"such actions are taken in the bes t
WASHINGTON (CUP!) - TheAmerican taxpayer may b erelieved to learn that scientifi cresearch has not been ignored bythe federal government .
His tax dollars have funded suchendeavours as the study o fbisexual Polish frogs, the odour ofsweat from Australian aboriginesand mating calls of CentralAmerican toads .
Rep . John Colann (R-Arizona )has compiled a list of variousfederal studies from a Genera lAccounting office report .
Some problems scrutinized bythe eye of the government includethe following :
• The department of health, .education and welfare spen t$19,300 to find out why children fall
interests of the countries in-
After Allende's victory the Statevolved." Department declared that the
administration "had firml yrejected any attempt to block hi sinauguration . "
However, Colby testified that the40 committee had authorize d$300,000 in an attempt to bribemembers of the Chilean Congres sinto voting against ratification ofthe election results .
The attempts to stop Allendefrom assuming power came a searly as 1964 when America ncorporate interests volunteered toserve as a conduit for anti-Allendefunds but were turned down .American copper interests in Chilewere especially eager to . stop theAllende march to the presidency a sthey feared for their interest swhich Allende later nationalized .
The former CIA director sai dColby said the agency's that after Allende's election the 40
operations were considered a test committee authorized $5 millionto see if the technique of using for more "destabilization" effort sheavy cash payments would work in 1971, 1972 and 1973 .to bring down a government An additional $1 .5 million wasconsidered antagonistic to the U .S. provided to aid anti-Allende
All of the CIA's operations were - candidates in municipal election slast year.
The funding was provided toindividuals, political parties an dmedia outlets in Chile and othe rLatin American countries .
CIA officials in Washington poin tout that nothing the agency did wa sdone "without the knowledge an dconsent of the 40 committee . "Kissinger was then head of tha tgroup .
In his only public announcemen tconcerning the CIA involvement i nthe Allende coup, Kissinger said :"The CIA had nothing to do withthe coup, to the best of myknowledge and belief, and I onl yput in that qualification in casesome madman appears down therewho, without instructions, talked tosomebody ."
However, Colby testified that the40 committee authorized an ex-penditure of $1 million for further"political destabilization" ac-tivities in August 1973, one monthbefore the coup .
The 40 committee turned down arequest in 1973 for $50,000 to aid inthe nationwide truckers' strikewhich was crippling the Chileangovernment .
CIA officials explained that therewas a considerable power pla ytaking place over the tactics to useto get rid of Allende. One sidewanted to use force to get rid of thegovernment immediately whileothers - the Kissinger view -wanted to use considerable ob-struction in the hopes of a politica lend to Allende .
They all emphasized that the CIAwas not authorized to play anydirect role in the coup that over -threw Allende . It should be notedthat all, of the State Departmentdenials were made in the context ofa direct United States role in th eoverthrow .

KELLY'S STEREO MARTAn Explanation:
Last Thursdays (September 19th) ad in Th eUbyssey confused a few of our student customers .We meant to say that all UBC students could buyrecords from us for 30% off the full price, if the ypresented a UBC AMS card . Many recordsALREADY were discounted in price, and a UB Cstudent would get either 30% off the original listprice, or the sale price - whichever is LOWER .Unfortunately, several students felt that theyshould get 30% off the already discounted price ,which is NOT at all what we meant to say . Weapologize for the inconvenience and th emisunderstandings that this may have caused .Remember, if you want to buy records at a goo dprice, you can still come in this week and sav e30%. (Off the original list price) .Thanks. Kelly's Stereo Marts, 2714 W . Broadway .
Colby testified in a top-secretU.S. government hearing con-cerning Chile last April that th egoal of the clandestine CIA ac-tivities was to "destabilize" thegovernment of Salvador Allende .
The department realized "thatthere have been allegations" theU.S. government played som eclandestine role in the Allendedownfall but stated "if anyallegations are presented to us wewill gladly review the testimony ."
In his testimony before theHouse, Colby said the CIA had firs tintervened against Allende duringthe Johnson administration whenAllende ran against Eduardo Fre ifor the presidency in 1964 . Frei hadthe support of the U .S. and laterwon the election .
approved by the 40 committeehere, a secret, high-level in-telligence panel headed bySecretary of State HenryKissinger . The committee has beenin existence since the Eisenhowe radministration .
The State Department repre-sentative in Ottawa would not saywhether the committee had takenany actions against Chile butstated, "subjects that ar ediscussed in this committee, ifthere is going to be any actiontaken on them, are approvedunanimously . "
"Then all decisions are approvedby the President ."
Colby testified that $500,000 wa ssecretly authorized by the 40committee in 1970 to help anti-Allende forces but it didn't domuch good as Allende won theelection . He also testified tha tanother $500,000 had been providedto the same forces in 1969 .

From page 1climbs a steep hill . How does food servicesrate?
Price indices allow comparisons to bemade between different time periods b yletting prices in a base year equal 100 . A ris ein the index indicates how much more w ehave to pay over the previous period to ge tthe same food . For example, if the inde xgoes up from 100 in 1970 to 110 in 1971, thenprices rose 10 per cent .
An index was constructed for UBC foodservices' prices taking into 'account mos titems on the campus menu and excludingonly breakfast specials and hot entrees . Theindex reflects essentially the cost of atypical lunch on campus .
The `market basket' used in constructingthe index gave the consumer his choic eamong any or all of a beverage, sandwich ,dessert or side order .
Each item is not selected entirely atrandom, however . A restriction was im-posed in the base period .
In the base period, each item would on theaverage be a certain proportion of the bil lbased on average prices in that particularcategory :
Beverage 17%Sandwich 52 %Dessert 21 %Side order 10 %
Total 100%Aside from that initial restriction, con-
sumers were free to make up their marke tbasket from over 35 menu choices . 1972-7 3prices were selected as the base year an dthis same market basket was priced andindexed over a three-year period .
The campus food price index is indicatedby the dotted line .
Compare this with the consumer foodprice index and what we have then is a rout emap of on and off campus food prices . Oneshould tailgate the other.
What's been happening ?Food services jumped the gun but the race
is on. There was some worry that theycouldn't keep abreast of inflation . Instead ,they ran all over it .
Food service prices have been increasin gmore than twice as fast as food priceselsewhere ; which means the purchasingpower of your food dollar on campus isdeclining at twice the rate of a food dollar of fcampus .
If this trend continues, each new priceincrease will be more dramatic than thelast, widening the gap even more . And a tsome,point, students are no longer beingprovided with a service .
In 1973-74 campus prices went from 100 inthe base period to 121 . The consumer foodprice index moved from 100 to 116 (Augus t1972-73) . .
One year later campus prices in 1974-7 5jumped from 121 to 157, compared with themore modest rise in the consumer food pric eindex of 116 to 132 (August 1973-74) .
For the same period, other restaurant andtake-out services' prices followed an indexof 100-113-136 according to the Statistic sCanada away-from-home consumer foodprice index (August 1972-73-74) .
Why the discrepancy?Despite food services' adamant "read the
paper — see for yourself" explanation ofwhy prices have gone up, inflation is not th eculprit, only the scapegoat .
Inflation turned out to be a one-word alibi .The harder it ran, the more it fell behind .Food services took those `soaring food andlabor costs', swept them up in the inflationdustpan and dumped them into the con-sumer's lap for like-it-or-not consumption .
Labor costs will take up some of the slackbut not much . For the food industry as awhole, attributing 30-35 per cent of costs tolabor is a fairly standard rate althoughdietitian-manager Mary Stovell claims thefigure is closer to 40 per cent for food serviceoperations .
Even so, it would take wage increases of asledgehammer weight to drive a wedge likethis one between on- and off-campus foodprices .
If inflation isn't the issue then the rea lquestion is : is there batter on the prices ?
We can only speculate .We could unrealistically assume food
prices on and off campus were i ndisequilibrium to begin with . If so, a pric ehike of a once-and-for-all nature would havebrought prices in line with the consume r

food price index and the curve would haveeither slowed its pace or levelled off .
Throw out that assumption and conside ranother case . On the supply side of the foo dindustry, where the market situation i smore one of discord than harmony, neithe rprice stability nor delivery can beguaranteed .
So when menu prices are set for Sep-tember safety factors are built into the pric eas insurance against any erratic pricemovements . Price changes are put throug hwhen the term breaks, never during examsand up until now, never during term .
Of course price increases that do no tmaterialize turn into free dividends for foo dservices — unless some sort of downwardadjustment is made at the next pricingsession .
Once again we would expect the curve to
either level off or at least shift into a lower
140gear .
But the curve has never taken a backwar dglance. Nor has there been any assurance ofany such thing happening and certainly noreason to believe it will .
There is reason to believe however, tha tfood service revenue is being siphoned off i npipeline proportions .
Six years ago, food services signed amortgage on its premises in SUB with apromise to pay back $1 .2 million over aperiod of 10 years .
Repayment on time would have require dminimum `profits' of $163,000 per year .
In six years food services hasn't really
120paid anything toward the principal of theloan, barely managing to cover the annua linterest payments .
"It really was too big a mortgage to put onthis kind of operation," Stovell said .
Suggest subsidization to food services andyou've tread on administration ethics . Theuniversity cannot directly subsidize any offood services operations since the ad -ministration clearly stipulates that anyancilliary services must be `self -supporting' .
"It's not the government's responsibility— it's the student's problem," says directo rof food services Robert Bailey . "Whateverservices are provided, the students have topay for . "
"This is a fact of life . You can't be sub-sidized for the rest of your life . "

GUELPH (CUP) — Ontario israpidly moving into a period oflabor unrest and increased con-frontation between workers andemployers, says Bill Brown, anational representative of th eCanadian Union of Public Em-ployees in southern Ontario .
Brown says the expected in-creased rate of unemploymen ttogether with the seemingl ypermanent inability of theeconomic system to arrest in-flation will result in "an era o fconfrontation in Ontario" .
With unemployment expected tohit an all-time high of nine per centthis winter, Brown feels th emilitancy among well organizedand hitherto moderate workerswill increase .
"The chronic poor andunorganized are not the ones whobecome militant during periods o freal economic hardship," he said ."The guy who has spent the last 1 5years on and off the bread lines isnot going to become militant . "
Brown says the immediatesource of militancy amongworkers is going to come fromthose who have been relativelycomfortable for the past few years .
He feels militancy will be theresult when workers are faced withthe possibility of losing their job sdue to cut backs in the industrialsector, and with inflation drainin gtheir savings and cutting thei rpurchasing power.
He was not optimistic that anyaction could be taken to pre-emptthe coming economic crisis andexpressed certainty that even i faction could be taken, the Ontariogovernment would not do so .
He pointed to the example ofhousing in the province where ,despite the land speculation ta xrecently enacted, "nothing is bein gdone . "
For Brown, who identifie shimself as a socialist, there is noquestion that speculation profit sare a primary cause of the pricespiral in housing .. He sees the lack of housing for
working class families as one of thereasons why increased militancy i sbound to occur .
Inflation, however, is the leadingfactor . Although statistics releasedby the federal government show a12 per cent inflation rate for lastyear, Brown said for the averageworker the real rate was closer to15 per cent .
This is because the rate of in-flation on such items as housingand staple foods, which comprisethe largest portion of the averageworkers expenses, have increasedmore than average index prices .
Brown does not see unionmilitancy as taking a politica l
You know apathy has really se tin when you can't even get peopleoff their asses long enough tobleed .
Such is the situation the RedCross finds itself in as once again i ttreks on campus in a never endingsearch for the elusive blood donor .
Five years ago UBC studentsbled between 2,000 and 2,500 pints .The number of donors has dwin-dled since then, hitting an all timelow two years ago when only 1,000donors straggled to the clinic .
Last year marked a resurgenceof sorts when the total donatio namounted to almost 1,500 pints .
Terry Clayton of the Red Cros shopes that performance signifie san upswing and sets this year' sgoal between 2,500 and 3,000 pints .Considering the size of the campu sdaytime population the goal is arealistic one, he said .
Other clinics in the lowermainland area have tended to keeptheir annual totals about the sameor slightly above totals of previousyears.
Clayton hopes an increase dadvertising campaign will produc ethe same results for the UBCclinic .
form. He cites as evidence the pas ttendency of Canadian workers torefuse to elect other workers tooffice. Unlike British workers whotend to vote for other workersinstead of lawyers an dbusinessmen, "Canadian workersalways vote against themselves, "according to Brown.
When the militancy of workersdoes grow, it will take aspecifically economic formbecause the basic cause of workingclass discontent is Canada's failingeconomy .
Higher wages, rather tha nsending workers to parliament wil lbe the issue, said Brown.
Clayton said students just ma ynot realize the importance of thecampus blood clinic. All blooddonated in the province stays in theprovince and none comes in fromelsewhere .
Periodic supply shortages in theprovince's blood banks can only becurtailed by an increase in B .C .donors.
Clayton said students withcommon bloodtypes such as apositive offer think that it is not a simportant for them to donate .
"The opposite is actually thecase, as, obviously, there is agreater demand for these types, "he said .
Students also don't seem torealize just how far their donationmay go . One pint may serve up tonine persons. Conversely, onepatient may require several dozenpints just to survive a singleoperation .
It takes but 20 minutes to donatea pint of blood. Red Cross per-sonnel will be available to sho wdonors the exact process from 9 :30a .m. to 4 :30 p .m . Monday throughfriday next week in SUB 207 .

Governmentreport says
Employers isolate workersBy TERRY DONALDSON
Immigrant women hired b yVancouver cleaning and garmentfirms often work in exploitativeand sometimes illegal situations, aprovincial government repor tsays .
The report, prepared by thesocial concerns committee of theYWCA, says that it is commonpractice in several local clothingfactories to lay off seamstressesjust before Christmas, rehiringthem in the first week of January .By doing this, the company avoidspaying holiday wages .
Other factories pay theirworkers on a piecerate basis ,enabling them to circumventminimum wage laws, the reportsays. In at least one woman's case ,this has meant no increase in payin four years .
The report also says that thefaster workers, who might benefi tfrom this system are usually paidon an hourly basis .
Some hotels send chambermaidshome without pay at the start of ashift because the hotel is not verybusy at the time. The reportcharges that the women sent homeare those with less seniority ,usually non-whites .
Many factories allow women touse the washrooms only duringtheir ten minute coffee break . Thereport says that many womenspend their entire coffee break inline for the washroom .
A committee spokeswoman saysthe idea for the report grew out offrustration YWCA social workersencountered as they worked withChinese, Portuguese, Italian andother immigrant women .
"Attempts to train these womenfor better jobs were useles sbecause employers would hirethem only as chambermaids ,
Pleas to preserve old pastureland along Main Mall an dAgronomy Road have been ignoredby university administrator sdespite faculty and studen tpetitions in favor of keeping thegrass .
The petition was started by soi lscience professor Jan Devries inan attempt to solicit supportagainst the conversion of the lan dinto a 300-car parking lot .
"It was really a token petitio nwhich I drew up and sent to a fewrepresentative groups on cam-pus," Devries said Wednesday .
Use of the new $6,000 Pit soundsystem should begin in one week ,SUB building manager GraemeVance said Wednesday .
Vance said use of the unit wasdelayed two weeks for adjustmentand balancing of the speakers .
A further delay resulted becaus ethe Alma Mater Society does notprovide funds for campustechnicians . As a result, help mustbe hired, he said .
The system includes 22 speaker sdistributed throughout the lounge,embedded in the holes of the grid-like ceiling.
"The sound is better than wehoped for, considering theacoustics of what is really a con-crete box," Vance said .
Designed by Pacific Com-munications, the unit replaces theweak public address sytemcurrently in use .
cleaning ladies, seamstresses, o rin other menial capacities," she-said .
Funded by a federal Loca lInitiatives Project grant, the tea mset out to discover the condition sthese women faced and to suggestways in which the situation couldbe improved .
Committee members in-terviewed 186 women extensively .The process was difficult becaus eof the reluctance of the women totalk to a stranger about them -selves .
The report concludes tha tpolicies of employers and govern-ment agencies insure that thewomen will be kept isolated ,unable to participate fully inCanadian society .
The spokeswoman said there arethree reasons for the situation .
First, although some of thepractices cited are clearly illegal ,
'legislation does not exist to covermost of the abuses .
"Employers are just takingadvantage of loopholes in the law, "she said .
And the enforcement of laws thatdo exist is inadequate.
The labor standards branch ofthe labor ministry, which i sresponsible for policing, does nothave the staff necessary fo rregular inspections, the reportsays .
Branch staff will respond tocomplaints, but only if they ar ewritten in English . "But few of thewomen can write English, andnone will complain because theyfear that they will lose their jobs, "the spokeswoman said .
Third, she blamed employers fo rbeing too willing to take advantageof people who do not have themeans to resist oppression .
The report, copies of which have
The petition met with over-whelming support from all fapultyand students solicited excep telectrical engineers .• "They are in favor of the parking
lot because their parking lot northof the electrical engineers buildingis being replaced by an extension, "said Devries .
"Killdeer, clover and greengrass will be non-existent if theparking lot goes through," saidDevries .
"The campus is being turned intoa desert of black top and this is oneof our chances to keep someesthetically pleasing land .
All four zones of the Pit arereached by the existing Boge nCT100 mixer amplifier, combinedwith a new DuKane power am-plifier .
However, the only music plannedto be projected over this powerfulnew system, except for theSaturday night concerts, is to comefrom the juke box. The Pit has acollection of tapes, but these arerarely played .
Head bartender John Howardsaid it is too bad "all that moneywas spent on a good sound system ,and all you get is juke box music . "
While the concerts have not beenthat popular, "the juke box doesmake money," he added.
The sound system was installedtwo weeks ago . It was purchasedfollowing an AMS council decisionlate in March .

It recommends that permanentinspectors be hired by the laborstandards branch . It recommendsthat workers be able to choos ebetween a piecerate and an hourlyrate, and that those on piecerate beguaranteed a minimum wage. I trecommends legislation that wouldensure women will get the holida ypay to which they are entitled .
The committee also wants "lac kof Canadian experience", to beprohibited as a reason for rejectin gemployment, since it is often use din a discriminatory way, an dsuggests that manpower and theunemployment insurance com -
Although the tuition paymentdeadline has come and gone, manyUBC students are still faithfullywatching their mail slots waitingfor those much-wanted envelopesfrom the finance department .
If they are lucky, the envelopeswill soon contain their much -needed loans. About 800 student:loans were mailed out Monday .
Dean Clarke, co-ordinator ofstudent services for the B.C .education department, saidWednesday the main reason for thedelay is a backload of work due to a35 per cent increase in applicationssince 1973 .
"We are unable to service due tothe fact that we get saturated," h esaid .
"I hope the students will rally 'some support to conserve thepasture land and I have written aletter to Dean Gage stating myposition and asking what he can doto help in the problem," he said .
Administration personneldirector John McLean saidWednesday the lot will be com-pleted as it was drawn up in th eoriginal plans of the. university .
An American firm, CaliforniaConsulting, drew up the masterplan of the university in 1969, whichwas revised in 1972 .
Two years ago the parkingcommittee approved trans -formation of the property toparking .
"The land and the old dairy barnshould have been turned into aparking lot last spring but th econstruction workers' strike haltedthe work," McLean said .
McLean said the parkingdemand has been extreme for thepast three years and the new lo twill only alleviate part of theproblem .
A physical plant spokesman saidthe barn was torn down becauseAgronomy Road has to bestraightened . A sidewalk andlandscaping will partially replaceit, he added .
The loft of the old barn wa ssalvaged and sent to the Universityof Victoria to be rebuilt on it sOyster River Farm agricultura lcomplex .
Other groups petitioned werechemical engineers, Alma Mate rSociety offices, agriculturefaculty, west water and the schoo lof planning and resource sciencecentre, personnel .
mission hire interpreters in thei roffices .
The report also recommendsthat the human resources ministryorganize day care centres in in-dustrial parts of Vancouver .
Ranata Shearer, who heads thecommittee says that the ministershave acknowledged the receipt of
"Quorum? Where's the quorum ?Have we got enough people here tokeep doing business? "
Those comments seem toemerge at any meeting of studentscouncil these days .
The answer is usually that aquorum of 22 members of th ecouncil is no longer present .
Many students applied late an dthey are the ones left waiting .Students who applied before Aug . 1should have received their loans bynow, Clarke said in an interview.
Clarke said the educationdepartment is trying to serve thestudents efficiently . He said it ha sprovided flexibility for the student sby removing the deadline forapplications, adding the depart-ment "has put the rope around it sneck but has done so for the benefi tof students ."
Clarke said he realizes "thestudents get into a crunch" bu tthinks B .C.'s system is better tha nthat of Manitoba where ap-plications have to be submitted byMay 1 .
Byron Hender, UBC financial aidofficer, said Wednesday thefinance department is beinglenient in the payment of fees andsympathizes with students whos eloans have not yet arrived .
Clarke said the' educationdepartment is actually ahead ofthe game when the increase andlateness of applications is con-sidered .
Another factor in the problem isa lack of keypunchers . Clarke saidthe data processing centre inVictoria is understaffed and ishaving difficulty finding morekeypunchers. Many loans that
the report but she is not yet able totell what effect the report willhave.
"We want to sit down and discussour recommendations with thegovernment soon though nothingdefinite has been arranged so far, "she said .
And that's a piss-off for thecouncil members who are presen tbecause it means they have to cu toff discussion of items on theagenda .
Therefore, this message to thedelinquents : If you want to seeyour name and sins printed in bol dface, your absence at the nextcouncil meeting may cinch yourwish .
have already been approved aresitting in Victoria waiting to beprocessed .
Clarke said loans are bein gprocessed as quickly as possibleand emphasized that there is no setdate students should receive loans .

up paying the entire deficit clubshave run up in the past few years ,acting AMS treasurer PemmeMuir Cunliffe said Wednesday .
However, until she knows fo rsure which of the now defunct club swill reconstitute themselves ,Cunliffe said she will not be able tocalculate the cost to students .
She said 12 clubs have still notmade arrangements with her topay off their debts .
Until they make some sort ofarrangements with her office theseclub accounts will remain frozen ,she said .
The debt will be either paid out ofAMS reserves or floated to nextyear, Cunliffe said . The AMS willlikely float the debt, she said .
But no matter what method i sused, Cunliffe said the students willbe the ones who pay .

Pemrne gives upActing Alma Mater Society treasurer Pemme Muir Cunliffe sai d
Wednesday she will not run for treasurer in the October byelection .Cunliffe said the "unimportance" of the AMS was a contributing factor
in her decision ."I no longer have energy to devote to a system which is as unimportan t
to the students as the AMS," she said .Cunliffe cited the low turnout of voters at AMS elections and referen-
dums as examples of the society's unimportance . She said one surveytaken indicated not one student polled in a fourth year sociology classeven knew what AMS stood for .
Cunliffe charged that the AMS constitution stood in the way of anypossible AMS effectiveness .
"The constitution is outdated but any efforts to change it have faile ddue to student apathy," she said .
Past efforts to change the constitution have failed due to insufficientturnout of students at referendums proposing constitutional change . Aquorum of 15 per cent of the student body is needed on money referen -dums and 10 per cent on other matters in order to take a vote .
The basic change in the constitution Cunliffe said she would like to se eis a decentralization of the AMS powers .
Cunliffe was appointed acting treasurer earlier this year when formertreasurer George Mapson resigned. Mapson has since taken on a $17,000per year post as director of student services at Malaspina College .
Cunliffe has served on the AMS for the last two years in variouscapacities and has been a member of the finance committee .
Outside interests and academic priorities were other factors in herdecision, Cunliffe said .
