Concerts banned in
War Memorial
By KATHERINE MONK
All rock concerts have been banned from War Memorial Gymnasiumindefinitely dueto structural problems in the gym’s floor.
The loss of concerts meansa loss of
$16,000 for
the Alma
Mater Society
said Bruce Paisley, the h S concert director.
Paisley is frustrated at the loss of
the gym as a concert venue because
thecoccerts programwould have
otherwise shown a profitforthe
first
time in
five
years.
Theimmediatecauseforprogram disruptions is “a warping of
the floor, and cracks in the support
beams,” said
Neil
Risebrough,
associate vice-president of student
services. Risebrough was unaware,
however, of the concerl ban.
Paisleywas toldthe gym could
notbe used as a site for concert
dates
for
the
remainder
of
the
school term by the Physical Education facilities
manager.
In
a
memorandum to Paisley,
Justin
of

said
“the

Physical Education refuses to book
the facility (the
War
Memorial
Gymnasium) to anygroup intending to host a rock concert or the
like.”
The
memorandum
also
states
that it was with regret that such a
hard stance be taken, but there was
no alternative “while programs
constantly suffer from the after effects of these events.”
When
questioned
about
the
Physical EducationDepartment’s
refusal tobookconcerts, Marples
did notsay what the “after effects”
were, butthatthestructuralproblems were the main reason for not
allowing anyconcertbookings,as
the department would beheld liable

in

resulting from the damaged floor.
Marples said the decision now lies
“in the hands ofPhysical Plant” as
to whether or not anymore concerts
could be held beforetheendof
term.
Dennis Haller, Assistant Director
for the Design Division of Physical
Plant, was unavailable for comment.
Risebrough said the decision
ultimately lies with the president’s
office, butfound Physical Education’s decisionnot toallow concerts

matter in court, arguing the policy

Former

Jim
Nielsen counteredthatpermanent

The court disagreed. In a written
judgement, the appeal judges
said
that since the Medical Services Act

cannot claim the two are interchangeable.
The ruling overturned an earlier
decision onthe Medical Services
Commission which said only Canadian citizens and landed immigrants
qualified for coverage.

Africa.
The meeting with Strangway,
UBYSSEY
Bain, Andrew Old, president of the
African Students’ Association, and
Michael Moeti of Students for a
Free Southern Africa, was the result
of a request made by Strangway at
the December Board of Governors
meeting, when a divestment rally
was held. Strangway offered to
meet with three representatives to
discuss the issues of divestment.
“Our main concern is to try and
get the university to takeamore
serious stand on divestment than
what they’ve done so far. He
(Strangway)
said
that
all the
members of the Board are against
apartheid. He made that very clear,
but it’s easy for anyone to say
that,” said Olal.
In October the Board decided to
sell its shares in two unnamed companies doing business with South
Africa. This decision was based on
the companies’ compliance with the
CanadianCode
of Conductfor
businesses
operating
outside
Canada.
“Our contention is that any company operating in South Africa supplies the
government
with tax
revenue to carry out military pro-
Paae 3
grams which enforce apartheid,”
said Bain.
Bain compared South Africa’s
apartheid regime to Nazi Germany.
“Anybody would’ve taken action
against Nazi Germany - a regime
that was an oppressive military force
whose underlying ideology was
racism. I’d like to think that UBC
would be attheforefront of this
campaign,” he said.
The Board requested submissions
from seven companies after finding
a report by civil servant Albert Hart
inconclusive. The
Hart
Report
reviewed submissions fromCanadian companies which outlines their
operating conduct in South Africa.
UBC
requested
submissions
from: Cominco Ltd., AMCA International Ltd., International Thomson Ltd., Falconbridge Ltd., Dominion Textiles Inc.,Moore
Corp.
Ltd., and Seagrams and Sons.
“The
companies
themselves
aren’t necessarily agoodsource.
We don’t know if they’re giving
true or false or misleading information,” said Bain.
Olal said “he (Strangway) gave
us the impression there is a second
phase to the Hart Report Commission. He said that the first phase of
submission is done andnow and the
university is waiting fortheHart
Commission to report what’s going
on now.”
“We want the Board to give out
the names of their investments but
they’ve made the decision to take a
different approach,” said Olal.
“He (Strangway) said that if a
company is in the process of
divesting then we don’t want to
name them because if we damn
them publicly, that may discourage
them from divesting,” said Bain.
Strangway was unavailable for
comment Thursday.
Last year the Board announced it
had $1 million of its $90 million endowment fund in
six
companies
that are linked to South Africa.
Another $717,000 from
the
university’s $90 million pension
fund was invested in three companies with interests in theapartheid state.

program is a particularly raw deal
for B.C., says the Pacific Region
chair of the Canadian Federation of
Students.
Echoing other Canadian student
representatives, Marg Fartaczek
criticized the $180 million recently
allocated to the federal job creation
program as a significant drop from
the $210 million spent in 1986.
“There was an extra $30 million
last year for thecensus, but now the
federal government has conveniently forgotten about it,’. she said.
But finding a summer job in B.C.
will be expecially difficult due to the
absence of Expo, said Fartaczek.
“Student unemployment at the

Last summer, B.C. accounted for
25,000
Canada’s
of
170,000
unemployed students.
Fartaczek was also worried summer unemployment would push
debt loads higher for B.C. students
receiving money from the only allloan student assistance program in
Canada.
Some
students
are
graduating from UBC with debt
loads of $20,000, she said.
And because $180 million for
Challenge 87 neglects the effects of
a four tofive per cent inflation rate,
Fartaczek said the total number of
jobs will decrease from the 90,000
created in 1986, 11,OOO of them in
B.C.
“We are quite concerned about
the lack of consideration given the
program. Thefundingannouncement was made even before the
evaluation of the Challenge 86 program was tabled in parliament,”
Fartaczek said.
Nancy Bennett, regional coordinator for theprogram in B.C. and
the Yukon, agreed Expo’s absence
would likely create a higher rate of
s t u d e nu tn e m p l o y m e nbt ,u t
qualified the increase as “slight and
not significant .”
“Thepattern over the last two
years is students are more successful
in finding jobs than five or six years
, ago,” she said.
Bennett expects B.C.’s to receive
about 13 or 14 per cent of the total
Challenge 87 budget. That amount
is comparable to last year, with
distributiondetermined by taking
regional unemployment statistics
into consideration, she explained.
Bennett addedthat of thejobs
created by the Challenge 86 program in B.C. 35 per cent were in the
private sector, while 15 per cent
were in the municipal sector and 50
per cent were

non-profit

Freedom in Kamloops questioned

By ALLISON FELKER
B.C. educators are upset about a
loss of academic freedom as the arbitration hearing into the firing of
Cariboo College instructor Allan
McKinnon continues in Kamloops.
McKinnon was suspended in 1985
after
publicly
criticizing
the
restraint program and thequality of
education atthe college. He then
circulated a memorandum
to
Cariboo faculty criticizing the administration in an attempt to gain
faculty support against his suspension. The memo resulted in his firing on December 11, 1985.
Johp Waters, president of the
College-Institute
Educators’
Association of B.C., called McKinnon’sfirjng “excessive” and“unjustified”.
“What he did (circulating the
memorandum) falls within the
of
Faculty
union’s
guideline
freedom of speech.”
He
added
faculty
members
should be able to openly debate,
discuss, and criticize theirinstitution and society at large.
UBCFaculty
Association vicepresident
Herbert
Rosengarten
said, “it’s clear thatdebateand
discussion are essential to education. If they are prevented, it is a
v i o l a t i ootnhfaec a d e m i c
principle.” He added the faculty
association executive had formally
discussed the issue last year, and
that hedidnot
know the entire
story.
Stanley Shapiro, SFU Faculty
Association president, said McKinnon’s
firing
was
a problem
demonstrating the limited power of
instructors at the college level.
“If a UBC professorspoke as
honestly and openly as McKinnon
did, he would not lose his job,” he
said.
The CIEA is paying for all legal
costs in the arbitration case. Tuesday, Kamloops mediator Merv
Chertkow presented a 66 page
report at the hearing. McKinnon’s
lawyer Leo McGrady said the
report was critical of McKinnon’s
conduct.
He added “the mediation process
should be designed to get disputing
partiestogether;instead,it
drove
them apart.”
However, both McGrady and
John Waters are satisfied with the
arbitration procedure. McKinnon
will present his side next week.
College lawyer Peter Csiszar said
he felt it was inappropriate tocomment on the arbitration hearing, as
it was still in process. Neither current college president Jim Wright or
past president Charles Brewster
could be reached for comment.

Valladares was arrested in 1960 for making comments against the marxist

have the conviction that you are a potential enemy of the Revolution. For
us, that is enough.”
Valladares is neither mawkish, sentimental nor martyr-like. Rather, he
tells his story in a objective fashion, revealing that hs has a strong gift of

system.
Violence is common in the Cuban penal system, and especially directed

1986-87 BUDGET FOR THE ALMA MATER SOCIETY
~~
INTRODUCTION
REVENUE
Every student enrolled in a credit course at U.B.C. automatically becomes a member of the Alma Mater
Society. The A.M.S.is a large and diverse organization which provides a comprehensive array of student
services. Often the A.M.S. provides the services that the University is unwilling or unable to provide,
Each year the A.M.S. collects a fee of $32.50from all full time U.B.C. students, and a proportionate
amount from part time students. From this
fee, $15 is allotted for capital building projects such
as a
daycare centre, Student Union Building expansion, south campus barn renovations, athletic facilities,
etc. $4.50 is allotted to support the major costs of the U.B.C. Intramural athletic program. A $0.50
further
is usedto sponsortwo U.N. refugee students here at
U.B.C. The A . M . S . is left with$12.50 of the original
$32.50t o subsidize our many service organizations and studelit government. The breakdown
of student
fees reflects the traditional support given by J.B.C. students to campus activities.

Total Revenue
There are some items in this year’s budget that should be highlighted. No increase
is expected in the
amount of student fees collected. As a result, the A.M.S. cannot afford to allocat more than $5,000 t o
the C.I.T.R. High Power Reserve. However, the A.M.S. has increased its allocation to the A.M.S. Student Bursary Fund from$2.500t o $1 1,500. It is expected that all fund raising efforts for this fund be
will
matched by the B.C. Government through its Funds For Excellence program.
This year, the Copy Centre changed its name
t o Copy Right and moved downstairs to a larger
site.
Revenues from this operation will be down as a result of purchasing more equipment. Snack Attack,
Tortellini’s and A.M.S. Word Processing Centre
are starting their secondyear of operation andare doing
as well as can be expected. The budgeted loss for Tortellini’s is directly attributed to the $31,000 expected to be collected by C.P.A.C. as rent ( 7 % % of sales). By the third year of operation, Tortellini’s
sales volume should grow at least to the point of break even. This
year, the A.M.S. has become more
committed to the renovation of the Student Union Building. Two examples are the renovations of the
Conversation Pit and the new Copy Right location. Both
areas are expected tobe well used by students.
Equipment such as perlick units, overhead projectors, etc., purchased by the Storeroom, and the Commercial Bookings Department, will be available far the use of student clubs and constituencies.
Overall, the A.M.S. continues to provide, and to expand its services to students. One of the few problems that the A.M.S.does face, is the amount of time and effort that Students’ Council members must
commit to organize and promote the variety of activities that the A.M.S. sponsors. As a result of time
constraints, some worthy new projects mustbe ignored. In some activities the benefits to studentsare
unclear and the responsibility for these activities
is more appropriately the University or the Alumni
Association. It is time for the A.M.S. to do some long
range planning, with a review of current projects.
Some projects may have to be modified in order to meet their objectives.
The A.M.S. is in a unique position envied by student societies across
Canada. It has the lowest student
fees ($12.50 per student), but providedin 1 9 8 5 8 6 the equivalent of$25.56 t o subsidize service organizations and student government. In addition, the A.M.S.
is the second largest employer on campus and in
198586 returned to students over
5896,256 (or $38.33 per student) in the form of
wages. The expansion
Of A.M.S. business operations over the pastsix years in response to the demands and requirements of
students has made this possible. The A.M.S. is a non-profit society where the revenues derived from
business operations are used to subsidize other services. The A.M.S. is committed to providing quality
service to students at a low cost.
I would like to thank this year’s Budget Committee - Colin Erb, Milton Kiang, Peter Lankester, Doug
Martin, Karen Nishi, and
Rebecca Nevraumont (Chair), for their patience and perseverance. As well,
Simon Seshadri was a valuable member of this year‘s committee.
Sincerely,
James F. Collins
