Students come and go but Ron Pearson stays .That was the basic outcome of Monday night's student

council meeting when councillors voted down a motion to fire th eveteran general manager of the AMS .

In a vote held after a closed council meeting—the content o fwhich will never be known to the students council representatives—th eAMS bureaucrats defeated the motion by law representative Dell Valai rwith a 14-3-4 count .

The move to fire Pearson, the behind-the-scenes professional wh oadministers AMS business, was not a spur-of-the-moment decision .

Students, SUB employees and AM Sadministrative staff started the campaign during thesummer in an effort to raise questions concerning thelegitimacy of both Pearson's professional actions andhis personality .

Those people charged that the grey eminence o f13 years behind the AMS operation exertedillegitimate control over councillors, committe edecisions and the operation of SUB .

They also charged that Pearson is personallyarrogant and objectionable and that . he tends tothrow temper tantrums, break pool cues and tos sballs around in the SUB games room .

This presumably is what was discussed in the council meeting .AMS president Fraser Hodge said before the meeting that i t

would move in camera because personalities would be discussed ."There will be a lot of blood and guts pulled apart in th e

meeting, " he said .But what actually transpired during the three-hour in-camera

session will never be known .Although he is a legitimate member of council, Ubyssey edito r

Michael Finlay was ejected from the meeting under threat of being fire dfrom his editorial position .

Finlay was asked to assure Hodge that he would not report whattook place if he remained in the council chamber .

There is nothing legally binding on Finlay to do so and he refuse dto give the assurance rather than compromise his ethics and principle sas a newsman .

Said Hodge : "You'll either leave or be fired ."Although Hodge would give no legal grounds for either the

ejection from the chamber or for his threat of firing, Finlay left for fea rthat council would disregard legality and fire him without grounds .

Finlay's distrust of council arose partly from an earlier actionconcerning honoraria payment for the staff of Tuum Est .

Editor of The Ubyssey—of which Tuum Est was a specia ledition—and acting editor of Tuum Est, Finlay was assured months ag oby AMS treasurer Chuck Campbell that honoraria for Tuum Est staffwould be no less than $300 .

But council awarded only $200 on the recommendation of thefinance committee—headed by Campbell .

UBC students were sleeping outside the housing offic elast week .

They were hoping to get a bed for the rest of the year i none of UBC's residences—but many were unsuccessful .

Despite the fact that students were informed of wher ethey stood on the waiting lists, about 60 waited outside theoffices—in the administration building—each morning. Many hadslept there all night .

They came in the hope of getting rooms aftercancellations had been received . But cancellations were few.

The problem is not new—with little or no increase i nfacilities and a massive influx of students—but is espacially badthis year .

According to Les Rohringer, director of UBC residences ,the waiting list for residence accommmodation hasn't been thi slong since Totem Park was built five years ago .

interested in the position, several names werediscussed in executive meetings .

Former games area worker and SU Bmanagement committee member Mike Flynn ,co-signer of a letter to student councillors invitingthem to an informal meeting on the matte rThursday night, said :

"SUB management has lost control of th ebuilding . It's a hard thing to admit when you don'thave power anymore, and you're just not going tocome up to a meeting and say, 'OK, we ' ve lostpower, what do you want us to do about it ' . "

"There was a coup in that building thi ssummer. Peason and Campbell took over . "

"Dermot Boyd told me when he was fired ,Chuck Campbell told him `we're sorry about this ,but you did a really great job .' If he did a reallygreat job, why did they fire him ?

"Why didn't they put him somewhere else ?Because they had to get him out of the building ,because he kicks up too much trouble . "

Campbell said there was "some dissatisfaction "with Boyd's work . Pearson refused to comment .

"A student doing the same job provides th esame service and costs less, " said Campbell .

"Handling worked in the games area. I knowquite a bit about it," said Flynn . "And I know whatno part-time student can do the job that DermotBoyd did . "

Legality and constitutionality of the firing i svague. The AMS code says SUB managementcommittee is responsible to :student council for "th estaffing of AMS areas within the building", bu tCampbell and ombudsman Sean McHugh agree th ecode is only a guideline and not legally binding .

Boyd has been in Belfast, Ulster, for the pastweek due to personal reasons and is expected toreturn shortly .

Something is rotten in the state of SUB .Or so it seems since the firing last month o f

SUB games room manager Dermot Boyd .Boyd was dismissed by AMS treasurer Chuc k

Campbell who said the firing resulted from are-appraisal of the position and a decision that thejob could be done equally well by a student .

Actual decision to dismiss Boyd was made byseveral AMS executives . New SUB building manage rGraham Vance and AMS general manager Ro nPearson were also asked for opinions .

Boyd was originally hired last year by a vote ofstudent council .

Troubles began after the firing when Boy dsupporters questioned the dismissal and initiated agroundswell campaign to get him back .

Their speculation that Boyd was fired becausehe represented a threat to Vance's position asbuilding manager has proved inconclusive solar.

(Vance became building manager after forme rmanager Dave Cooper left the position during th esummer. Before leaving, Cooper recommended in aletter that Boyd succeed him.

(Boyd is said to have expressed interest in th ejob but Campbell told council only Vance wantedthe position .

(Campbell said the availability of the job wa snot advertised because of its temporary nature .Vance was hired on an interim basis until Januar yand Boyd was dismissed several days later . )

Campbell said in an interview that he has neve rheard of the letter Cooper left . At least one membe rof the AMS administrative staff said he personall ysaw the letter.

Campbell denied he had made the statement about the $300 .Fraser Hodge said that it made no difference, that Campbell had noright to make the statement anyway .

Both Finlay and Tuum Est editor Peter Ladner were presen twhen Campbell agreed to the figure, saying, "That ($300) can bearranged without problem . "

Finlay and Ladner assert that Campbell ' s denial of the statementis baseless and utterly illegitimate . Despite the denial, the statement wasmade, said the editors .

After the in-camera meeting— which was punctuated be grea toutbursts of laughter and friendly joking—council voted to put Pearsonon four weeks' holiday and to hire a management consultant firm t oreview the AMS's structure and procedure .

What really happened will never be known . Pearson wasunavailable for comment . But he's still here, somewhere.

What's left on campus ?

Dig CLAMA Phoenix has arisen from the embers of the UBC Left .

It ' s CLAM, the Campus Left Action Movement, which i snow working on campus to expand its membership .

Aim of the group is to build a voluntary union as a nalternative to the Alma Mater Society, which it feels is no trepresentative of students and does not pursue their best interests i ndealing with the faculty, administration and B .C. community .

The group has published a 24-page newspaper, the Barnacle ,which is being sold across the campus .

It is also sponsoring a program of events designed to giv estudents some idea of what they aren ' t told in classes .

Today at noon in the SUB auditorium the national fil mboard documentary Bethune! will be shown . It tells the story of afamous Canadian doctor who served humanity in Communist China ad nthe Spanish civil war but is virtually unheard of in Canadian schools .

Thursday at noon in Bu. 106 SFU prof Louis Feldhammerdiscusses human nature and will refute the scientific faults o fanthropologists who say man is innately aggressive .

CLAM aims to provide a more forceful and directed radica lapproach than past UBC Left groups such as SDU have done .

It is organized around the principle of anti-imperialism andrecognized the U .S . as the most expansionist world power today .CLAM's basis of unity supports the right to self-determination of al lpeoples including Canada's Indians, women and residents of Quebec.

"Particularly in Canada, the pressure of foreign imperialis mcontinuously represses the economic, political and cultura ldevelopment of our country," the group's basis of unity says .

"Thus we oppose in Canada foreign domination of our economic ,political and cultural lives .

"We recognize that American imperialism is active in Canada andas well that the Canadian government is an accomplice of thi simperialism, both at home and abroad .

"We recognize the need for an independent Canada, given th eimmense foreign control of our economic and cultural institutions .

"We see that formation of a political movement dedicated t oCanadian national liberation is crucial, and is part of the world-widestruggle against American expansionism .

A meeting for prospective members and other intereste dpersons will be held in the SUB club ' s lounge Friday at 8 p .m. The rol eof progressive students in the university will be discussed .

Gage petitions federal govt .for $9 million residence loan

To ease the situation, the university has a ne w1,200-bed residence ready for construction—exceptfor the money .

In the meantime enrolment grows—along wit hthe housing shortage .

"I don't know if the provincial government willbe willing to put in the money to help out thefederal corporation, " Rohringer said . But at least forthe next two years the situation will be' reallyserious . "

A lack of funds has also halted much neededadditions to accommodation for married students .

Off campus housing is handled by .the AMSthrough its housing listing service.

Landlords pay a $1 fee to be included in a lis tof available accommodation printed every Friday .

The lists are available at the AMS busines soffice or the SUB information desk .

Food, parking costs up ;labor, inflation blamed

By JOHN ANDERSENPardon me ma 'm? You said 13 cents for a

sticky bun? Good grief.Yeah man, all you Charlie Browns are taking i t

in the ear again .A joint student-faculty committee quietly

raised food and parking prices over the summerwhile students were away .

Examples of increases are : a pot of tea—u pfrom 10 to 15 cents ; dinner minimum—up from 60to 65 cents ; fish and chips—up from 50 to 55 cents .

A glass of milk will now cost 12 cents insteadof 10 while the campus breakfast, the cinnamo nbun, will cost 13 cents instead of ten .

Director of UBC 's ancillary services, JohnMcLean, said reasons for the price increases (other

than to increase the circulation of pennies) includ eincreased labor costs and rising food prices .

The price of hamburgers remains unchanged .

Preferred parking rates have also been raised.Faculty and staff will now pay $22 .50 instead of$15 while the rate in preferred student lots has beenincreased from $10 to $15 .

There will be no increase in the $5 rate forparking in the regular student lots .

McLean explained the parking rates were raisedto meet an estimated $75,000 deficit in th eoperating costs of parking services .

Re_ommendations for the increases were mad eto the board of governors by the student-facult ycommittees .

Bottomoreas trusteeSFU 'hoax'

By ROBIN BURGES S

The appointment of professor T . B . Bottomore to Simon Frase rUniversity ' s PSA trusteeship committee is a hoax and a farce, a SF Uprof said Monday .

"Bottomore allowed his name to be used to legitimize anobviously illegitimate committee," said Louis Feldhammer, of SFU ' spolitical science, sociology and anthropology department .

The appointment of the world-renowned scholar and former dea nof arts to the trusteeship committee was announced in July whileBottomore was teaching at the University of Sussex, England .

According to dean of arts Dale Sullivan, the former dean will arriveand assume his duties at SFU sometime this term although not in thenext month .

"But this information just isn 't correct, " said Feldhammer . "He' snot going to come. He told me so himself," he said .

Bottomore has sent two letters from England strongly criticizingthe PSA department and expressing his views on the departmentpolicies and administration .

The most recent development in the controversial upheaval in th eSFU department involved the dismissal of 11 PSA faculty members las tweek .

"No one has been fired, " commented Sullivan, "But some peopl ehave been recommended for non-tenure ."

"A lot of people seem to think the department is being purged ,but it ' s just not true, " Sullivan said .

Dr . Kathleen Aberle, one of the professors recommended fo rnon-tenure, said :

"I think that rash judgments were made on 11 people in the PSAdepartment . The committee that made the judgments was no tacademically competent and didn't follow correct procedure ."

The judgment committee was not the elected PSA committee bu tan appointed one with no PSA representatives among its members ,according to Mrs. Ablerle .

The professors were all strong supporters of equal studen tparticipation of "student parity" in the administration of thedepartment, she said .

Mrs. Aberle was one of a number of PSA faculty members whoinsisted on maintaining student committees in the face ofadministration objection .

Her case is being appealed, Sullivan said .

BOWED DOWN by crueler facts of campus life, unidentified student grudgingly parts wit hhard-earned cash for the glory of education . Life is hard and so is the concrete .

UI3C has registered 2,000 students to omany, registrar Jack Parnall said Monday.

Some 22,000 students are expected toregister this year, but the university is equippe dto handle only 20,000 .

"Limited enrolment is the only solution, "Pamall said .

He said a recommendation dealing withthat subject is being brought up before th e

Too many students—registra rsenate in the near future. "A quota systemcould provide a possible solution" said Parnall.He said another solution would be for th efaculties to decide upon the number of student sthey could handle .

This number would then be discussed wit hthe administration and a final decision agree dupon.

Election campaig ncosts AMS $6,500

By JAN DUINKER

The Alma Mater Society spent $6,500 in the recent provincia lelection .

AMS treasurer Chuck Campbell said $3,000 of the $6,500 wasspent on the campaign of Dell Valair, who ran as an independentcandidate in Rossland—Trail, opposing education minister Donal dBrothers.

The AMS also spent another $3,000 for pro-education publicit yin the Vancouver area.

The other $500 was spent in sending AMS executives on aspeaking 'tour' of other B .C. ridings.

Campbell said all the funds came from the "promotion of highe reducation fund" set aside two years ago by the AMS .

Valair, law 2, was pleased with his campaign .His propaganda promoted more financial help for education .Although Brothers was re-elected, and Valair received only 28 8

_votes, Valair feels he convinced the electorate of the need of moremoney for education .

He said local newspapers and people at election meetings gavehim an enthusiastic response .

He attributes to his campaign the 2,000-vote decrease in Brothers '' winning margin .

AMS president Fraser Hodge also was content with results of th e,campaign .

"The idea of educating the public by the vehicle of anindependent condidate in a provincial election was a good one," Hodgesaid .

Hodge, who went on a speaking tour of Prince Rupert and Princ eGeorge, said that the free publicity given to the student point of vie wwas well worth the cost .

He said the purpose of the Valair campaign was not to get votes ,'16ut to publicize the problems of higher education .

"I could not agree with the educational policies of any of theexisting political parties," Hodge said .

Valair said that by the end of the campaign, he was no tencouraging people to vote for him, but just asking them to keep hi sideas on education in mind .

He said he was not disappointed by the vote he received .

Welcome?Welcome frosh, to the big machine .Here you are, all 3,500 of you, quivering in trepidation ,

huddling in your small, partisan groups as you set your feet lightly onthe great UBC campus .

We wish you wouldn 't .The fact of the matter is, there 's no room for you here . Go

away, why don't you, until there ' s someplace that can hold you all .Disappear for a while . Vanish . You ' re crowding us.

Oh,, it 's not that we have anything against you . You have thedesire, the intelligence, the academic record and, yes, the right t ocome to UBC . Education is a wonderful thing.

But education isn't what they dole out here . It's impossiblebecause there are too many people . This isn ' t a university, it ' s afactory . And the assembly lines area little full right now .

So go away . If you 've nothing better to do, why don 't you hopthe ferry to Victoria and talk to the smiling Santa Claus who gives th egifts to the good little students .

Everybody should be laughed at at least once in his life .

DisintegrationWell, they did it again .In what has to go down as one of the most incredibly fouled u p

and disgraceful moves of any student council, the AMS governin gbody Monday night decided not to dismiss AMS general manager Ro nPearson .

Now most students have never heard of Ron Pearson . We aren'tsaying here whether or not he should be fired—although we strongl ysuspect he should .

Despite the fact that last year's executive attempted to fir ePearson and failed and despite the fact that observers for the las tseveral years have questioned the legitimacy of the 13-yea rmanipulator of the student government's business operations, councilhas seen fit at this point to knuckle under again .

Knuckle under, collapse, disintegrate . They all apply because atone point three days ago, the executive was determined that Pearso nwould go .

In a private discussion AMS external affairs officer Mike Doyl esaid that an executive meeting Friday had not even discussed whethe ror not Pearson should be dismissed but had confined its deliberationsto the procedure under which the general manager should be fired .

And then sometime in the rash of executive meetings over theweekend, as the confused and frightened councillors gathered t odecide on some way of wriggling out of their predicament withou tlosing face, the decision was reversed .

The Ubyssey knew Monday afternoon that Pearson was destine dto stay . We even knew of the planned four-week holiday being offere das payoff to the determined and concerned students who ha dquestioned the continuance of Pearson's employ .

Somehow, incredible as it may seem, the executive changed its •mind . What happened in the council meeting will never be known . Al lthat is known is that a frightened, panic-stricken group of wea kamateur policians shattered and caved in .

Those people are what we euphemistically call our government .

How much does one useless vote cost ?It ' s an interesting question in the light of th e

ridiculous AMS-backed campaigning of UBC la wstudent and AMS councillor Dell Valair in th erecent provincial election. In case you don 't know ,Valair ran as an independent in education ministe rDonald Brothers' home riding of Rossland-Trail .

His -higher education promtion campaign wa sfinanced largely by the AMS, using the highe reducation promotion funds allocated by last year ' scouncil .

He didn 't win . In fact, he got exactly 288 votes .Brothers got 5,897 . The NDP candidate pulled i n4,785 . Even the Liberal got 1,768 .

And how much did those 288 votes cost . Well ,AMS treasurer Chuck Campbell estimates abou t$3,000 was funnelled directly into the campaign .That works out to about $10 a vote .

But ads were also taken out in the Sun andProvince to support Valair and his campaign.Half-page ads . Campbell estimates these ads cos tabout $3,500 but he doesn 't think they should becounted as part of the election campaign, despit ethe fact that they featured pictures of Valair ,biographical notes, and a little advice to vote Del lVelair in Rossland Trail .

Now add this money on and you get a total ofsome $6,500 of student money was used to supporta candidate in the election . That comes to abou t$22 .57 a vote .

And what for? Sweet nothing.Ignoring the possibly unethical aspects o f

forcing students to pay for the campaign of acandidate whose politics they quite possibly do no tsupport, the very goal the AMS aimed for wa sdoomed from the start .

The fact is, there was-never a prayer that theidea of higher education promotion would receiv ethe least bit of exposure or publicity . Sure, Valai rdid a lot of door knocking and speaking ill. _Rossland-Trail. Lots of people heard him. .Hundreds,probably . But to make an impression you have tohit thousands and hundreds of thousands.

And the only way to do that is to get th enewspapers, radio stations and television stations t ospread the word . But they can 't do it if the guy i sway off in Rossland-Trail . (Quick, who knowswhere Rossland is?) .

The AMS should not have run a candidate atall . If they had to run one, he should have been i nthe Lower Mainland . The media jump at anythingunusual about a campaign .Papers love to do storieson someone fighting for motherhood, freedom o reducation . Radio and television stations swoon at r

the chance to interview the clean-cut, hard—workin gstudent fighting for a better chance.

But no one wants to travel to Rossland-Trail t odo it. As it turned out, Valair got exactly no spac ein the Vancouver Sun, the largest communicatio nmedium in B .C . Not one lousy, stinking word . Not apeep. Nothing .

It was sheer, absolute, unbelievable stupidity .The AMS took it upon itself to throw away $6,500of student money on a hopelessy ill-conceived an

d mismanaged scheme doomed to oblivion from thefirst moment .

They'd do better to put their obviouslyinadequate minds together to devise some newcollege prank . Something like gold fish-swallowing ,only stupider.

The Vancouver Provinceyesterday quoted local promoter,Neil J . Godin, as saying that th eeight hundred paid attendance atCast Saturday 's Buffy St .Marie—Dick Gregory concert wa sdue to the "negative attitude "developed by Vancouver concer tgoers in the wake of a series o flocal rock festival disasters .

Province pop columnist BrianMcLeod remarked "it is to ou rdisgrace as an intelligentcommunity that only eigh thundred paid admissions were tobe found scattered in th eenormity that is the PacificColiseum. "

There may have been a certainamount of truth in what Godinsaid . As well, his failure with theconcert cannot be entirely blame don him since the sponsors of th econcert, the NDP, reneged in thei rpromotional duties . However, in

spite of the failure of any suc hNDP commitments, it seem speculiar that Godin was not bette rprepared for the concert in term sof advance publicity .

With a mimimal amount o fnewspaper and radio advertising ,Godin expected that crowds ofboth young and old would com eflocking to the Coliseum doors .He might have realized from th e" local rock festival disasters " tha tany such last-minute advertisin gattempts would most likely b eunsuccessful . For example, theSquamish-Vancouver Pop Festiva ldid not begin advertising locall yuntil just over a week before i twas to take place, with the resul tbeing a pathetically small crowd, agreat loss of money to th epromoters, and irreparabl edamage to the Vancouver an dCanadian pop scenes.

As well, there was littl eadvance publicity material on theColiseum concert sent out,

material which might have mad efor a mention of some length i nthe local media . Godin ' spromotional amateurism was her eas apparent as that of th ecancelled Thunderbird Peac eFestival, which also failed to ge tin touch with most local media.

Local impressarios should getout of their roles of "underassistant west coast promo men "and realize that the easiest way toa customer's pocketbook i sthrough effective advanc epromotion of their concerts. An dberating the public after th econcert (as Godin did in anemotion -charged " pres sconference ") for not respondingto the ' "sincerity " of theunsuccessful show does very littlefor the local pop scene which i salready on extremely shakyground . - nnnn uuu . i nnnn i ui .. .uuuuil n

By PETER LADNE RSometime this fall, the UBC senate and board of

governors will be deciding what this place is going t obe like for the next ten years—and it could b edrastically different from the present setup .

For example, they could decide that by 1980UBC would be an academic city of 40,000 students ,divided into 30 federated colleges .

Each college would be almost automomous i nits academic decisions, and some would be tied inwith a residence, Oxford style .

Or they could do nothing and UBC could gro winto a 34,400-cog knowledge factory in just fiveyears, given existing enrolment increase rates .

The federated colleges proposal is one of th erecommendations in the 75-page report of thesenate's committee on long-range objectives . Thereport, only a second draft, was published last May ,with the final edition due out around the beginnin gof October when debate and, hopefully, decisions ,will begin .

Only five out of the 11 on the committee vote dfor the college proposal, but even the mild majorit yproposals, should raise a few student eyebrows .

ENROLMENT FREEZE FAVORED

The majority recommends freezingundergraduate enrolment at 22,000 bodies ;

• holding down the graduate enrolmentincrease to 15 per cent per year, rising to a ceiling o f5,500 grad students, making a total enrolment limi tof 27,500 .

• upping the pass mark for second-yea rstudents to 60 per cent, to go along with a 65 pe rcent requirement for first-year entrance ;

• setting up an inter-departmental program ,complete with its own department head, budget an dbureaucracy .

In the words of committee chairman Cyri lBelshaw, head of the anthropology and sociologydepartment, "Do you want the university we hav enow, with enrolment under control, or do you wantto create a university city? "

So what are the students' representatives doingabout it? The student representative on thecommittee, former student senator, Don Munton ,has gone south to grad school, leaving thecommittee studentless .

It is also less other members, so Belsha wpromises the final report will reflect earlie rdiscussions when all the committee membersincluding Munton, were around .

The Alma Mater Society received the reportthree months ago but has done nothing about it al lsummer . "I 'm afraid we 've been terribly negligen tbecause of our involvement in the electio ncampaign," confessed AMS president Fraser Hodge .

Belshaw said he had heard nothing official fro mstudents . "It's pretty well too late now to affect th efianl report anyway," he said Monday .

This leaves it up to the 12 student senators t opresent the student viewpoint to this crucia ldebate—provided they are elected by then . (No dat efor elections has yet been set) .

DECENTRALIZATION THE KEY

Decentralization is the key to the minority ' sfederated college proposal .

Each of 30 or more colleges would be a fullyindependent unit of about 2,500 students . Thatmakes more than 60,000 UBC students, althoug hsome would be on satellite campuses .

Each college would have its own faculty, and i nsome cases be tied in with its own residence .

As well as being on the faculty of a college ,each professor would also be a member of adepartment with his academic colleagues . The whol eshow would be divided up into three or possibly

S.P .C.A. SAY :BE KIND TO

A COMMERC ETELLER

four academic divisions, each virtually autonomou sin academic affairs .

This would reduce the senate's grip ove racademic minutiae, but the report proposes to mak ethe senate the academic budget deciders . The senat ewould then presumably pass its budget up to th eboard of governors for official OK and ratification .

The one big bogeyman in this proposal is th emish-mash of bureaucratic monsters needed to mak eit go . These are disguised as principals (of colleges) ,chairmen (of divisions), directors (of institutes) ,vice-chancellors, and the ubiquitous departmen theads . The cost and complexity of this powe rstructure was the main gripe of the status qu oadvocates .

They also complained about possible excessiv eindependence that could lead t o"over-specialization . "

The committee members ' views on admission svaried with their stand on the ` Colleges or Statu sQuo' debate . The college advocates want to hold u penrolment just long enough to get the college syste mworked out . The others want to lock the gate afte r27,500 and keep the rest out forever, hopefullysteering them off to junior colleges around th eprovince .

Before the committee decides on the future o four plant, it hashed out the whole debate about th ephilosophy of the university, where it's going andwhy, and who we are .

"IT SKIMS "—PERSK Y

But as radical has-been Stan Persky points out ,it skims over student criticisms of the universit ywith barely a pause in the "dialogue . "

"It ' s one of the first reports to take account ofstudent criticism, but then in the blandest waypossible it pretended they didn't exist," Persk ycommented .

"What's being proposed doesn't really changethings—it just accommodates dissenters an dhumanizes things a little . The existing divisions i nthe university are perpetuated, with everyon eallowed to do his own thing on the assumption tha teveryone has his own answers to society ' s problems .

The committee set up three goals for th euniversity : to extend and preserve knowledge, t odevelop individual students, and to serve the need s.of the people in the society .

But after these noble aims and intentions, th ereport bucks argument after argument fizzling ou tafter each one to conclude that the existing way i sbest . It does save them a lot of work .

Pondering the criticism that the university onl yserves the vested interests in our society, i tconcludes : The university serves society best onl ywhen "its members are left free to pursue th escholarly interests that are vital to them . "

Critics say the university, by nature political ,should take a stand on the vital issues of the day ,the report says . It than charges back to conclud ethat the university is not in the political sphere an dshould stick to the knowledge extension business .

How does the university decide if its courses ar erelevant to society? This is up to the individual ,according to the report . "This is a heavy

responsibility and we need to be as aware as possibl eof its implications." And then that discussion ends .

Committee members were Cyril Belsha w(chairman), W. D. Finn (civil engineering prof) ,John Buchanan (ex-chancellor), Ken Lysyk (la wprof), J . R. McIntosh (education prof), M .' W.Steinberg (English), Robert Clark (academicplanner), Donovan Miller (board o fgovernors—outside agitator), John Norris (history) ,R. W. Stewart (oceanography), David William s(senator), plus ex officio members Walter Gag e(administration president) and Jack Parnall(registrar) .

The group is converting the old Acadiarecreation hut at 5589 Agronomy Road into th ecentre, which is scheduled to open Sept . 15 withroom for 36 children aged 3 to 6 .

Purpose of the centre is to supervise marrie dstudents' children while they attend classes or work .

"We will have room for 36 children of faculty ,staff and students on a first come—first serve basis, "said Wanda Tilley, head of the day care centre .

"Fees will be charged according to ability topay and with student s ' incomes being what they are ,most of the fees will be refunded by the provicia lhealth and welfare board, which has licensed th ecentre . "

The board will rebate fees according to couples 'incomes according to a scale which has not yet beenworked out, said Mrs . Tilley .

Operating hours for the centre will be from 8a .m. to 6 p .m .

The centre has support from the Alma Mate rSociety and university adminstration . The AMSloaned it $5,000 and deputy administrationpresident Bill Armstrong helped organizers get th e2,400-square-foot recreation hut .

Current problems include a shortage of moneyand volunteer staff.

"We will welcome all donations of dolls andtoys as well as any volunteer workers who wish tohelp with the children, " said Mrs . Tilley .

Further plans for the UBC Co-operativeAssociation include a housing complex for 1,000married students and their families and a wholesal efood store .

Architecture student Roger Hughes designe dthe day care centre and is working on plans for th ehousing co-op .

Hughes and grad student John Tilley, head o fthe association, are negotiating with B .C . lands andforests minister Ray Williston in an effort to ge tland for the complex .

MONEY PROBLEM WILL SPELL CUS DEATHPORT ARTHUR—Financiall y

crippled and riven internally b yattacks from both radicals andmoderates, the Canadian Union ofStudents staggered out of its 33rdannual congress facing the veryreal possibility of dissolution byChristmas .

And perhaps mor eimportantly, the congress had notcome to grips with the charge slaid by radical delegates, observersand members of the former CUSsecretariat that the nationalorganization faced tota lirrelevance if it did not struggle t oalter its nature and that of th estudent councils which form it sbase.

The right as wll as the leftwas unsuccessful in forcing debat eon the stucture of CUS : a motio nput forward by the University o fCalgary, calling for the creation o fa new national organization, theCanadian Students' Federation ,died for lack of a seconder.

Sponsored by members of theuniversities of Toronto, McGill ,Dalhousie and British Columbia ,the resolution included aconstitution which would hav egreatly restricted the ability of th enew union to take political stands .

Neither the McGill nor UBCrepresentatives were registered asdelegates to the congress, an dToronto and Dalhousiedelegations refused to support theactions of a minority of theirmembers .

When the final plenarysession of the congress broke offat six a .m. September 3, morethan a third of the items on theorder paper still remained to bedebated and passed ; butantagonisms raised as radical sinsisted the structure of CU Srather than moderate program sheld the key to rebuilding theunion .

"A lot of people here aregoing to return to campus and no tdo very much, " charged Barry

McPeake, last year's CUS Atlanti cfieldworker and chairman of th econgress until he spoke at th efinal plenary .

"People have to make achoice, " he said, "Either the yfulfill the implications of th econtent of our motions in actio nand words, or they sustain th estructures which have lead t ofailure in the past . "

"That choice may meanstaying on their student councils ,or getting the hell off . And whenthe real crunch comes, they 'regoing to stay on council . "

"The choice lies not i nkeeping the structure, " McPeakesaid . "We have to destroy them o rtear them apart so they will serv ethe people . "

But McPeake's charges metbitter denunciation from Joh nGallagher, a r. :cmber of theincoming CUS secretariat, wh olabelled the redical s"opportunistic" and supporte dthe position taken by incomin gCUS president Martin Loney—thatthe union must concentrate onorganizing students around issuessuch as housing an dunemployment rather than aradical analysis of society .

"You 're not dealing withthese problems in a historica lway," Gallagher said. "You hav efailed to come up with analternative program . "

The previous evening ,delegates from the University ofWaterloo had also tried to force adiscussion of CUS structure ,stunning the congress byproposing the national unio nbecome an affiliate of the

International Workers of th eWorld, a revolutionary syndicalis torganization smashed by police inthe 1920 's .

The Waterloo proposal wen tdown to defeat by a vote of 17 t o3, after the congress refused toallow Waterloo to withdraw it smotion .

But the hard logic of financesmay prove to be more of adeciding factor in the direction ofCUS than either radical ormoderate arguments . At the endof the congress, only eight studen tcouncils had committedthemselves to the union for th ecoming year, although severa lother delegations committe dthemselves to fight for CUS i nreferendums .

With only 39,500 students inthe union, CUS financecommissions predicted theorganization would go "belly-u pby Christmas" if criticalreferendums at Carleto nUniversity and the University o fToronto did not favor CUS .

Students at Carleton will vot eOctober 13 ; Toronto student sOctober 23 . As many as 10 otherreferendums may be called durin gthe forthcoming year .

The precarious state of th eunion 's finances lead to on echange in CUS operations :selection of a president-elect ,traditionally one of the duties o fthe fall congress, was postponeduntil Christmas, when the unio nwill hold another legislativemeeting .

The decision to elect MartinLoney ' s successor at mid-year willalso allow CUS members t oevaluate the actions of th esecretariatin view of events durin gthe next four months .

While many programs wereleft undebated in the hands of theCUS national council, delegate sfrom 33 schools who attended th econference—with voting right sregardless of their membershi pstatus in the union—managed t opass resolutions on some aspect sof education and on the nature o fthe students in society .

Delegates stated theiropposition to the Americanizationof Canadian universities, but alsocondemned any attempts t oregulate the number of America nprofessors by means of a quot asystem .

"A professor's ability to dea lwith the Canadian reality is notalways based on his nationality, "they noted .

The delegates also called fo ran end to authoritarianism i neducation, and presented demand swhich would lead to th edevelopment of a "critica l

university "—one which would d omore than act as an apologist fo rthe status quo .

The present educationalsystem, delegates said, "preparedthe student to fit uncritically intothe corporate capitalist structure ,without questioning the social an dmoral effects of the system. "

"The students in th eclassroom should be in control i nthe classroom and should b eactively participating in th eclassroom, " one delegate said .

As well as classroomdemocracy, student parity o nacademic decision-making bodies ,hiring, firing and promotio ncommittees, the congress also

demanded that other universit yservices, such as bookstores ,libraries and food services b edemocratized and organized on aco-operative basis .

The congress also called fo rstudents to struggle against th edevelopment of the Mid-Canad aCorridor, a corporate and

government plan to create anurbanized, industrial strip of lan djust south of the Arctic Regions.

The congress noted the pla nwould, in effect, be anothe rtenacle of American control o fCanada, and added that "an ynation which values it sindependence and sovereigntymust have control of th edevelopment of its naturalresources .

CUS heavies condemn 'ivory tower '

approach at 33rd CongressPORT ARTHUR—Canadian universities ar e

supporting "an irrational and inhuman statusquo," according to the education polic ystatement passed Monday by a large majority ofthe universities represented at the 33rd CU Scongress .

While recognizing that the university doescriticize the present system to some extent ,delegates said the " ivory tower" approach t oproblems "separates criticism from action," an dproduces "academic criticism that is ofte nmerely academic, removed from real materia lproblems ."

The policy statement relates society' sinability to solve the problems of poverty an dinequality to the fragmentation of knowledgewhich prevents intellectuals from forming th e"total perspectives" these problems require .

The statement also condemns thesubordination of public good to private profit.

Congress delegates also attacked course s"directly apologist" of present conditionswhich encourage students to think the system i sunchangeable . The policy statement condemn s"ecology courses that don't deal with pollution ,politics courses that deal with politics as what

happens in parliament, and economics coursesthat teach Samuelson " ( a major apologist o fthe present North American economic system . )

The only real opposition to the statemen tcame from Martin Shapiro, a congress observe rfrom McGill University .

Shapiro was received with amusement o rdisbelief as he said the document was"intolerant" on non-socialist views, "perhap smuch narrower than the present educationalsystem," and had "dangerous tendencie stowards a new kind of fascism . "

Delegates applauded CUS secretariatmember John Gallagher when he replied thatthe statement called for "something more thana unified university with a unifying ideology . "Most expressed approval at Gallagher 'sstatement that the present university syste mdoes not allow different points of view to b eexpressed and "can only lead to areinforcement of the status quo . "

For their part, radical delegates criticize dthe document as "too moderate," althoug hthey appeared to agree with the principles ofthe statement .

Only two schools voted against adoption ofthe statement .

Budget reduction rest son Oct. CUS referendum s

CUS types kil lbid for new union

PORT ARTHUR (CUP)—An attempt to replace th eCanadian Union of Students had met a quick death .

Members of four universities ' delegations attending the33rd CUS congress drafted a resolution which would hav edisbanded the union and created a new national organizatio ncalled the Canadian Students ' Federation .

Put before the annual general meeting of the union by theUniversity of Calgary, it died for lack of a seconder .

Sponsored by members of the universities of Toronto ,McGill, Dalhousie and British Columbia, the resolution includeda constitution which would have greatly restricted the ability o fCUS to take political stands .

The Calgary delegation, while it did put the motion befo rthe congress, did not argue in favor of it .

Neither McGill nor British Columbia were registered asdelegates of observers to the congress . And neith the Torontonor Dalhousie delegations would support the motion drafted b ya minority of their members .

- Course unions-queried by CUS

PORT ARTHUR (CUP)—The 33rd CUS Congress called for amore democratized approach to classroom organizing .

An unopposed resolution criticized existing course unions fo r.eing divorced from most students in their course, being monopolize dby a minority of "students with career ambitions in their discipline " ,and for limiting their action to administrative matters .

Delegates called for a new policy whereby unions would only b eformed after small groups of students in a class had initiated critique sof the class content and structure, and after "the mass of student swithin the discipline have articulated some concrete demands . "

Instead of working so closely with faculty, the new kind o fcourse union would write critiques of both the course and it stextbooks, confront the professor openly in the classroom, an dorganize counter-courses, as these appeared necessary to the members .

Observer Ron Thompson raised the only debate on the newconcept when he proposed an amendment which would start a progra m

Hof organized cheating at the class level to challenge the whole system o fmarks and grades and the way class content is determined .

Thompson 's "cheating " rejects methods like getting someone els eto write one's exam of sleeping with the professor . In his.non-competitive system, as soon as an exam was handed around thestudents would gather together to discuss it, divide up the work to bedone, perhaps bring relevant books and notes into the room t o;`broaden the scope of their answers ."

Thompson asked the delegates to adopt the first step in thesystem by starting to "cheat by co-operation in the classroom " .

The amendment was defeated by a narrow margin, with man ydelegates abstaining.

PORT ARTHUR (CUP)—Financially cripple dby referendum defeats in the last school year, th eCanadian Union of Students slashed $85,000 offlast year's expanses and $53,000 from projectedexpenses this year for a deflated 1969-70 budget o fonly $94,500.

And that revenue figure rests on two keyreferendums at University of Toronto and Carletonin October . The union must close out, probably b yChristmas, if CUS loses support at those campuses ,the finance committee concluded at the CUs annualCongress last week .

Toronto and Carleton would bring in revenue sof almost $35,000, including money from the CU STravel Plan . A loss at Toronto especially woul drequire "such a drastic cut in secretariat staff that

. no further operation of the Union is sensible, th ecommittee said .

Incoming CUS president Martin Loneyproposed expenditures for the 1969-70 year a t$148,600 to maintain programs at their presen tlevel. In making their cuts, the finance committee :

Reduced the budget for the CUS NationalCouncil to $4,000 from a proposed $5,400 ,anticipating a reduced number of members ;

Cut research money to $8,300 from $11,000 ;Slashed a CUS grant to a national studen t

newspaper to replace issue to $16,000 from aproposed $20,000.

Management costs were cut almost $14,000 ,but much of this cost was redistributed throug hproject financing. Each CUS project is budgete d

PORT ARTHUR (CUP)—Students must"reverse the power relationships between th einstructor and the students," according to aresolution on "authoritarian structure in th eclassroom" passed Tuesday (September 2) by th e33rd CUS congress .

The resolution attacked verbatum note-taking ,memorization for examinations and long readin glists for leaving little time for critical thinking .

The resolution further attacked this situatio nbecause it "prepares the student to fit uncriticallyinto the corporate capitalist structure," withou tquestioning the social and moral effects of thesystem .

Memorial University delegate John Harris

separately to include staff salaries, but the result i sless money for each project itself, although theabsolute amount budgeted remains the same .

CUS president Martin Loney said at the end o fthe Congress that the drop in income would makeCUS "a small part of what happens on Canadiancampuses this year .

"But CUS will still be a forum for debate an dprovide full-time people with experience to try an dtranslate that debate into action on the campus . "

Beside Toronto and Carleton, 10 school srepresenting 57,500 members are up fo rreferendums that might go pro-CUS . CalgaryUniversity, with 6,000 students, was not included asa possibility for re-opening membership in th eUnion .

The committee also included a $38,500 profi ton the Travel Plan, although the plan would becrippled if too many campuses reject CUS this year .

If so, the plan might be administered throug hthe Ontario Union of Students and other provincialunions which have kept more members than th enational union .

But the Congress seemed to agree that withou tToronto, no Union was possible . The feeling wa sreflected in an alternate budget—the "belly-up byChristmas" budget—which set out what the Unio nwould need to meet its financial obligations if i tfolds in December .

The belly-up budget assumes half costs fo rvariable items such as field workers, and full cost sfor fixed items such as rent and insurance.

Called this section "an attempt to relate th eecomomic factors in our society right to th eclassroom, since the role of the professor is that o fthe boss . "

The students in the classrooms should be i ncontrol in the classroom and should activel yparticipating in the classroom, " he said.

The only opposition to the resolution was le dby Calgary delegate Bob Ferrier, who stated tha t"the problem is more with the student than wit hthe system," and that "the student should open up "and participate more often .

Ferrier was supported by Ken Sunquist o fRegina who said the picture of an authoritarianclassroom "just doesn't fit into what I know."

CUS craps on classes

,Congress supports Canada,cool to quota on U.S. profs

PORT ARTHUR (CUP)—The Canadian Unio nof Students Congress voted almost unanimously t ooppose the Americanization of Canadian

'CUS not for usUBC will probably never re-join the Canadian

Union of Students as it exists today, Alma Mate rSociety external affairs officer Mike Doyle, saidMonday .

UBC students rejected CUS in a referendum las tyear .

"CUS alienates all those schools outside o fOntario, both east and west," said Doyle . "UBC was

-so alienated from CUS it was impossible for us t oremain in . They (CUS) failed to comprehend th e

,cultural and value differences in the various region sof Canada . "

Last year UBC paid $15,000, or approximately75 cents per student, for CUS services .

When asked what the AMS would do with th e$15,000, Doyle said he is concerned withreorganizing student government involving " acomprehensive managment analysis . "C. The B.C. union of students will be much mor e`applicable to UBC' than was CUS . UBC isn'tinterested in revolutionary rhetoric, said Doyle .

Doyle said that the future of BCUS and CU Shinges on the AMS conference Oct . 4-5 when thestructure of the student government will b ediscussed .

universities, but rejected a quota system that woulddirectly restrict the number of U .S . professor steaching in Canada .

The delegates noted in a resolution at the 33r dCUS Congress that "a professor's ability to dea lwith Canadian reality is not always based on hi snationality ."

An amendment to set up departments of ,Canadian Studies in our universities was soundl ydefeated .

"The whole university should discuss Canadiancontent, not just one blasted department," sai dBrandon delegate Harko Bhaget.

Toronto delegate Chris Szalwinski pointed outa separate institute would not solve the problem o fAmericanization of other courses .

"Some American professors have the concept sand experience to understand that reality, an dconversely, some Canadian professors—often trainedin U.S. graduate schools— resent an Americandiscipline that has no relation to our Canadia nreality ."

The Congress resolved that all academi copenings in universities must be advertised i nCanada ; that Canadian graduate schoolsemphasizing the Canadian perspective be establishedto orient faculty toward Canadian problems ; an dthat students participate in hiring, promotion an dtenure of professors, and in curriculum committees .

This is an excellent opportunity to gai nsales experience and to earn worthwhil ecommissions for part-time work.

Working plans for a permanent Pit were draw nup last spring, but Alma Mater Society co-ordinato rDave Grahame said the earliest possible opening dat eis the end of January .

"The internal problems have been worked ou tnow, so I'd rather not say anything," Grahame said .

Although Grahame refused to elaborate, th e"internal problems " are generally believed to b ejurisdictional hassles between the Pit managemen tcommittee and the AMS council .

Science I, a comprehensive program fo rfreshmen, arrives this year . "We do not want t ochop freshmen into so many parts, we want anintegrated program," says philosophy prof Ed Levy ,organizer of the new Science I course .

"Science I will help give science students a socialconscience," says student activist Stan Persky .

Along with Levy and Persky, Steve Straker, EdHundert and Eric Leed are the instuctors for a ne wmind-expanding six unit course designed to hel pstudents understand the 20th CelAury, not just thei rtest-tubes .

located behind the Thunderbird Shop in th ebasement of SUB . A temporary pit will be set up i nthe SUB ballroom .

Grahame said pit passes will be available Sept .22 and the Pit should be open by Sept . 30 . Planne dhours are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 4 :30p .m. to 11 :30 p .m .

Application for the position of studen tsupervisor in charge of day-to-day pit operation wil lbe open until Friday .

The pit committee consisting of two SU Bmanagement committee members and three othe rstudents will make recommendations to council o nPit policy .

The subject matter will range from Galileo t oSantayana.

The two-hour seminars of 12 students each wil lfeature directed reading but no compulsory reading ,papers discussed on an individual basis and n ocomprehensive exam at the end of the session .

Germinated during last year's Teach-In, afollow-up of the Faculty Club invasion, Science I i sstructured similarly to Arts I, being offered at UBCfor the third year .

The unstructured class idea was pioneered by Jo eTussman at the University of California at Berkele yabout six years ago .

The muckraker's manual. . .

. . .by John Twigg

Personnel feud has SUB agog;McGregor fears tower protest

The Student Union Buildin ghas indigestion—there's scandalbrewing in its intestines .

Alma Mater Societytreasurer Chuck Campbell firedgames area manager Dermot Boydwithout consulting council . Also ,one of Campbell's blue blaze rcronies, Graham Vance was hire das interim SUB building manager .

Boyd and Vance bot hexpressed interest in the job, an dnow it looks like Campbell i sworrying about his own job .

And to make it old hom eweek, Roger (Big Train) McAfeewas seen wandering around SUB ' spassages with a tape recorde rrecording his impressions of th ebuilding .

Big Rog was AMS presiden tin ' 64- '65, the year UBC student svoted to make SUB a reality .Roger hasn ' t been able to forgethis baby since, even though he i snow a prosecutor in juvenilecourt .

* * *

Peter Braund, AMSpresident in ' 66- ' 67, now has a jo bwith National Student Marketin gCorporation, an Americancompany that owns th eThunderbird Shop .

Braund was an outspoke ncouncil member when the vote t ogive NSMC the SUB franchise wa staken .

Treasurer Campbell, wh ohas been on campus as long a sanyone can remember, willprobable be worrying about hi sshort and curlier for a long time ,regardless of what the buildin gmanager fiasco outcome is .

The reason? Treasurers fo rthe past few years have lacked thecourage to call for much-neede dincreases in grants to som eorganizations, and the AMS fe ehas not been increased since SUBwas voted in .

Thus the incoming treasurer

has been left holding a bigger an dbigger bag each year, but this yearmay be the year the treasurer wil lbe forced to call an increase in the$29 AMS fee .

More increases which yo uhave little power over are i nparking fees and SUB cafeteri aprices .

Food prices were hike dabout 10 per cent and the amountof food in , each serving has bee nreduced . A glaring example is th esize of the french fries tray, whic his a mere rowboat of its forme rbathtub size.

The parking fee has beenupped to $22.50 from $15 fo rfaculty and staff ; preferred studentparking from $10 to $15 ; regula rstudent parking is still $5 .

UBC PReports has ancillaryservices head John F . McLeansaying the increases are to meet a$75,000 deficit in parkingservices .

He also says the food pric eincreases were the result ofincreased food and labor costs .

But then UBC PReport ssays, "UBC ancillary services ,which include traffic and parking ,food services, bookstore an dresidences, are operated by th euniversity on a non-profit basis . "

Oh really? When was th elast time the bookstore profit swere released to the public? I fyou don't believe it is making akilling, take the labels of some o fthe books and see how muc hmarkup you are paying .

The article goes on to say :"The costs of operation an dcapital for expansion are provide dthrough the sale of services tofaculty, staff, students andvisitors." That means you and I ,fellow student niggers .

Until ancillary service sproves it is losing money, an yprice increases should be looke don with extreme skepticism . Seen

any good cases lately? If so, tel lus .

And while we're on theadministration's PR sheet, biologyprof Marian Jakeway wrote aninteresting article in the latestedition (erudition?) .

She said The Ubyssey is a nexample of student apath ybecause students do not protest

its narrow-minded views . "As aresult, " she says, "the paperremains the way it is—biased ,inaccurate and unrepresentative o fthe broad range of student views . "

Would you like to have such *a narrow-minded prof? I suppos eThe Sun is a good paper because i trepresents the broad majority .

Take this, Marian Jakeway :Murray Kennedy was a member o fthe Phi Kappa Sigma fraternitylast year and is the same Kennedywho ran for fraternity king with acampaign slogan of "Wanted : aKennedy who isn't shot down al lthe time ." Largely because o fpublicity in The Ubyssey, he waswithdrawn from the competition .

The bell tower is alive andhunching regularly on the halfhour .

Ceremonies head Dr .Malcolm F . McGregor said a small ,private dinner was held atchairman Koerner's recently, at

which Leon Ladner, who donate dthe $200,000 edifice, washonored by Nicholson unveiling aplaque .

But McGregor was uncertai nif an outdoor dedicatio nceremony for students would b eheld . "We will test the atmospherein the next few weeks and see i fthey want one, " he said .

McGregor explained the"atmosphere" concerned studentdemonstrations . "We don't wan tto hold a ceremany and then havea demonstration, " he said, "itwould be an embarrassment t oMr. Ladner.

"Some students like the bel ltower, you _know. And besides ,Mr. Ladner gave us a $200,00 0tower, not $200,000 . "

PORT ARTHUR (CUP)—Students acrossCanada may be reading a new national magazine b ymid-October.

To be distributed by participating studentnewspapers with their regular issues, the magazin ewill carry articles considered to be of nationalinterest, rather then exclusively student concerns .

Almost half of the funds needed to produce th epublication were allocated for it at the 33rdcongress of the Canadian Union of Students. Therest of the financing will come from sales tosubscribers, mostly student newspapers.

The magazine is an independent project bein grun with co-operation between CUS and CanadianUniversity Press, the national student newspape rco-op .

Content will be decided by a six-man editoria lboard composed of two members from each of th enational organizations and two independen tmembers .

The proposed editor of the publication is Do nKossick, former editor of the Carillon, studentnewspaper at the Regina campus of the Universit yof Saskatchewan, and a fromer CUS field-worker .

"We hope to be able to bring to national

attention some of the crucial problems existing i nour country that are usually ignored by the regula rpress," Kossick said .

"The regular news media either ignore thereasons behind the headlines or cover them in a veryinsufficient way. We hope to make analysis part o fevery story .

Boot buffs buffShinerama, the mass shoe-shining project fo r

first-year students will become a reality Friday .

Those taking part should be at the SUBinformation desk by 9 :30 to register and pick up alist of directions for the day. Group leaders will se ethat the bootlickers get back to the campus at th eend of the day .

Passes for the Saturday night dance will b egiven to those taking part .

Proceeds for Shinerama go to the - Cysti cFibrosis Foundation .

Thunderbird Socce ris minus some wings

The UBC Thunderbird soccerteam is in need of a multitude o fplayers this year says head coac hJoe Johnson .

According to Johnson mostof this year's team will be mad eup of new faces as few playersfrom last year have returned . Todate quite a few players hav eturned out for the JayveeTomahawks, but there still is ashortage for the Birds.

The team had an excellentseason last year, narrowlymissing the league title at th every end of the season . Johnsonfeels that in spite of th erebuilding necessary this year,there is no reason for the team

not to do just as well if notbetter this year .

Anyone interested cancontact Johnson at WarMemorial gym .

SWIM LESSON SEvery morning of the week

for the next two months UB Cstudents can get swimminglessons at Empire pool .

Register for the classes whichare divided into Tuesday ,Wednesday, Friday and Monday,Thursday sets . The classes for al llevels of Red Cross and RoyalLife Saving awards are about anhour long .

END JIM BLAIR goes for a gain behind the blocking of fello wend, basketball star Dave Rice (82) . Although the Birds lost 11-0,the coaches are unusually optimistic .

Football teamhas Problems

The UBC Thunderbird varsity football team open sits 1969 schedule this Saturday evening in Tacoma ,Washington, with a new quarterback, shuffled line-up ,and a grand total of 40 bodies on the roster .

The new quarterback is Al Larson, a 5 ' 10 " 160 pound firstyear jock from Kelowna who throws the ball extremely well . H ewill relieve incumbent Roger Gregory who will better be able t outilize his speed at his new position, left halfback .

Paul Danylin and Ron Fowler will likely round out the startin gbackfield with veteran fullback Dave Corcoran moving to middl elinebacker .

Another noteable addition to the lineup will be ex-basketbal lforward Dave Rice who will be seeing a good deal of action a toffensive end .

The presence of Rice will be of some consolation to headcoach Frank Gnup as his first string stalwart Rod Smith had themisfortune of breaking his arm in an 11-0 loss to the SeattleCavaliers in a controlled scrimage on Saturday .

The opposition for the Birds on Saturday in Tacoma will bePacific Lutheran University, who will doubtlessly prove a nadequate opening test . PLU have 25 returning lettermen from lastyear's club which downed 40-0 in their only meeting .

Lutheran will be led by their two strong running backs, Dav eHolstad and Gary Hammer, the team 's leading scorers last year .

The first home game for the Birds this year will be o nSaturday Sept . 20 against College of Idaho .

Anyone wishing to pay for either the varsity or the Jayvees i swelcome to call Frank Gnup at any time or location or drop in tothe Athletic Office at War Memorial Gym .
