B y NANCY CAMPBELL
‘The UBC senate Wednesday returned a faculty of applied sciences proposal demanding restricted enrolment in engineering.
Originally approved by senate Sept . 16, the board of governors defeated
the: proposal Oct. 6 and returned it to senate for further discussion.
IReconsideration of enrolment restrictions is important for the applied
sciences faculty and the rest of the university, which must economize, said
UElC chancellor J. V . Clyne. “We have to look to see if there are areas
which can accommodate less expenditures, less room so we will not. have to
control student room,” he said.
The applied science faculty proposed a limit of 450 admissions to
first year engineering in September,
1982, and I 0 0 studens from outside
the faculty to second-year. Limited
enrolment in each second year
engineering program, with allocationsmade
according to student
preference and academic qualifications to fill each program’s limit
were also proposed.
Applied science dean Martin
Wedepohl said if the current system
is not altered his faculty could lose
its accreditation.
He claimed his faculty’s proposal
would control not cut enrolment.
“Basically, it is a matter of dollars
and cents. We are going t o lose
quality if we continue on in our present state. We will consider the matter very carefully.”

Senate bucks
science plan
It gets awfully tiring talking about
money all the time. Think of what
thisuniversity and i t s administration could do if not consumed by
the world of finance.
But alas,such is not the case.
Last night's senate decision to send
the applied science
enrolment
restriction proposal back to the applied science faculty came downto
the problem of hard, cold cash and where to find it.
Without sufficient operating
funds to supply students with professors, teaching
assistants,
materials, even clean classrooms in
good condition, this university will
grind to a halt.
The applied sciences faculty is a
case in point.According to dean
Martin Wedepohl, his facultyspent
per student in 1978 and that
figure, including inflation, has sunk
to a current $2,900.
The situation has become so dire
the applied sciences faculty is worried about losing accreditation from

board.
McGeer, our enlightened universities minister, students are paying
more for their education andreceiving less.
And the applied sciences faculty,
not wanting to further lower the
quality of education, has turned to
drasticmeasures - cuttingenrolment. For the senate and the UBC
board of governors, this is not an
acceptable alternative.

The sickening spectre of tuition

students to live further away from,

THE
Filmsoc -AMS tax oppressive anid wasteful
-
This time,without referring to
The . Ubyssey’s reportingability,
Filmsoc would like to chip in our 50
cents worth to the
present situation.
If the Alma Mater Society budget
committee owned AMS Inc. with
a s s ei tnsc l u d i nt S
hgeU B
auditorium you would not heara
peep from Filmsoc. If the owners of
SUB aud decided to charge Filmsoc
$300 rental a night we would simply
pass the cost ontoourstudent
customers.
But budget committee is not the
owner of SUB aud.
Lastyear SUBFilms attendance
was 38,000. At $1 a head, admission
was at least $1.50 less thanour
nearest competitors (hired staff‘)
could have managed.We thus saved
students, the true owners of SUB
aud, $57,000. If viewed as rental,
Filmsoc, through our own efforts,
returned $570 a night to theowners.
That is 190per centof the ‘commercial rate’. In addition we paid the
A M s government what amounts to
a $6,000tax.
Filmsoc is now in the process of
questioning thistax. Under our proposed referendum the AMs government would reduce this tax from the
present 50 to 25 per cent of S U E
Films profits. At the same time admission would be reduced from
$1.50 to $1. This means thatthe
A M s would forego $6,000 and
students would be saved $15,000.
It is rather unfortunate
for
Filmsoc thatthe money we save
students is not reflected in AMS
budgetconsiderations. It is rather

Thisletterresponds to the lead
article in The Ubyssey, Thursday
Oct. 8, 1981 by Kevin McGee entitled BOG likes AMS ‘approach’.
The AlmaMater Society thinks
“The university must be ruthless in
attempting cut
to
costs.” We
wonder just where Ms. Haugen has
been these last twomonths. The
budget cuts the university authorized after thefaculty settlement could
only be called ruthless. They included:
0 not filling continuing positions when they become vacant
0 not
purchasing
any
new
equipment (expendable supplies, as
in labs, are the only exception)
0 not having physical plant
undertake
any
renovations
or
repairs
0 a reduction in all activities in
which immediate savings can be
made
0 all hiring is frozen unless the
academic vice-president approves
the appointment in writing
no appointments with a
review date or 12 month termination date will be made until further
notice
replacement of faculty on
leave requires written approval by
the academic vice president
0 Graduate Fellowship monies
not already allocated or awarded
and university research monies
derived fromthe operating funds
will be reassigned for salarypurposes
no new programs will be forwarded to the universities council
without
careful
examination
of
possible future budget implications.
Haugen must have spent too
much time out here in the rarified
air of UBC. Does she really see
UBC students and their problems
and their problems in isolation
from the remainder of the people
working on campus or for thatmatter theoutside world? I , forone,
would be curious to hear Ms.
Haugen’s opinion on work study
programs. Possibly this is another
area that could be done away with.
The unions on campusthat have insisted that students be paid union
wages for work at the expense of
jobs that our own members could
have had, could agree that students,
although peforming the same duties
asour
workers, are onlyworth
$3.65 per hour.
The way to meet crises Over
board budget cuts and increased
costs to students is not by the AMS
approachingtheboard
on their
own. It is my considered oDinion
that we couldachieve much more if
all affected parties worked together
to solve our problems ratherthan
trying to achieve our individual
goals at the expense of others.

(or cannot) represent students’ interests satisfactorily. But perhaps
Filmsoc is wrong, maybe the AMS
does what students want it to? Well,
what better way than the referendum to find the truth?
When AMS programs chair Dave
Frankreturned fromthe 21st national entertainers and campus activities association conference last
spring he
reported
to students’
council how programming at other
campuses compared toour own.
Under category films he said:
“Filmsoc deserves ‘our highest
praise. SUBFilms is ;about three
months ahead of its southern
counterparts with their film series.
Cinema 16 presents far
more
creative programmin,p than is
available at most schools.Cinema
West by itself is easily as good as
h d f theother schools’ total film
programming. I would estimate
thlat as many as 80 per cent of the
other campuses heavily subsidized
thleir film programming and their
fi:lm societies are often run by paid
administration staff. So Filmsoc
deserves some sort of award and
thanks.”
Our reaction to the‘special treatment’, we, the numberone Film
Society in North America, have
been getting fromthe AMS since
1969 can best be summarized by the
answer to the question:
How would you feel if, after
donating blood, you found it splattered across the sidewalk?

AUCE says Haugen ‘ruthless’
In the Oct.8th
issue ofThe
Ubyssey, Alma Mater Society president Marlea Haugen expressed her
belief that: “The university must be
ruthless in attempting to cut costs.”
I take considerable offense if I am
correct in assuming that Ms.
Haugen is suggesting that other
groups on campus be sacrificed in
order toaid the studentsplight. The
following press release was issued
Aug. 18th and will clarify the position taken by AUCE local I regarding what we certainly consider as
‘ruthless’ budgetcutsALREADY

The Alma Mater Society executive has once again shown its
concern for the students and their
organizations whichit’s supposed
to serve. This time it came in the
form of a memorandum, dated Oct.
7 and delivered Oct. 9, concerning
the room booking policies at SUB.
As far as we know noone was
consulted to determinethe policy
which would better serve the
organizationsthat
use SUB. The
policy emanatedfrom SUB commissioner, Pat Chow five
days
before the bookings forthe next
term start. It just happens that out
of those five days one is a Friday
aifternoon, Oct. 9 when Pat Chow is
mwhere to be seen (probably trying
to get votes anywhere else) and the
following three days are a holiday
weekend. As a result we only had
one day, Tuesday, Oct. 13, to bring
forward our complaints and suggestions about the policy. The AMS
works for you?

Student ponders UBC’rs political passivity
I tend to agree with M r . Barrett’s
speech made before 5 0 0 UBC
students last week. In his speech he
referred to the students of UBC as
being politically inactive. I am a
first year science student and 1 was
surprised to step onto campus to
discover astudent body with virtually no political tenacity and
disgusted to find they had no
political clout.
With the present deteriorating
condition of the Canadian economy
(if students had not

should be up in arms. Furthermore,

Canada controlling the economically richer western half. Almost all of
