Married students get housing 60 units set

for 20-acre site; ready by late fall

Mainland firms are displaying a high inkrest in a Uni- versity of Victoria plan for on-campus married student housing, the University development manager said Monday.

Seven .Contracting or architectural firms responded to University advertising regarding a housing project to be completed next fall, five of them from the Vancouver area, said Floyd Fairclough.

First phase of the plan calls for 60 housing units to be constructed on a 20-acre site at the northeast corner of the campus.

“The university is looking for the best-qualified combina- tion of architecht and contractor, with an eye to economy and efficiency. We are advertising for written applications on a team basis, and will select the team that shows the best ex- perience for the job,” Fairclough said.

“That means applications will be considered using pre- vious projects worked on as criteria for deciding suitability for this type of project,” said Dick Chudley, Student Union Building manager.

Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation funds will provide construction capital for the project, which is ex- pected to cost between $500,000 and $650,000.

Rather than conventional residences with high-expense dining facilities, the university development committee is considering apartment-type dwelling in individual units. Chudley said.

He said the plan is flexible, and might include combina- tions of concrete and steel high-rises for single students and two-story frame apartments for married students with child- ren.

He estimated there are about 400 married students among the 5,000 fulltime enrollments at UViC.

Maried student housing is currently a top-priority prob- lem at the university because downtown housing of the type students can currently afford is rapidly disappearing.

Apartment dwellings that were fashioned from old houses divided into several room suites are being torn down and replaced by expensive apartment blocks.

The currently planned project for University housing for married students is designed to take pressure away in terms of financial cost, availability and access to campus facilities.

“For financial reasons, student accommodation has lagged badly. Even when Lansdowne College opens this fall the university will be offering only 600 places in n?Sidence to a student body of more than 5,000,’’ Fairclough Said.

Development of the project is in the hands of a special committee of the university’s board of governors under Fair-

Survev Probes Indian J I

problems By SUSAN MAYSE

Indians attempting to change from reserva- tion life to d t y life fall heir to a series of difficult and destructive problems, and Man- power’s attempts at assistance have been disap- pointing.

David Stevenson wants to know why. The University of Victoria anthropologist

is heading a project to find out. It will take the form of questionnaires answered by Indians living in the larger urban areas of B.C.

Stevenson said he wants to interview people who have never lived off the reserve and never want to, people who say they would live off under some circumstances, and those who have lived in the cities and moved back to the reserve.

Exclusively Indian interviewers will be used to gather the data for the Department of Man- power anal Immigration survey: a new idea in the area.

He said Manpower training in attempts to assist Indians caught up in the problems of change have failed before.

“They’ve given the Indians training] es- pecially in the trades, equal. to the type of training other Canadians get. But somehow they don’t seem to know how to take advantage of the training, and they return to the reserva- tion,” he said.

“But Indians have shown time and again that in intelligence and trainability they’re equal to anyone.”

Stevenson’s interviewers will locate their subjects by getting addresses from the Indian Affairs branch, and later by asking people they talk to.

His interviews] he said, include several housewives and students.

Ten Years After- STONEDHENGE-DERAM DEA-18021

Apart from the rotten cover, this album is a bitch! It‘s the third for the group, and certainly its best. I don’t know what it is about British blues groups, but they seem to have an intrinsic understanding of it all (said he generalizingly). And blues is what Ten Years After does-only where most groups regard blues as sacrosanct and awe-inspiring and don’t-mess-wif-it-too-much-or- the-great-Lame-Piggy-Flange-or-whoever-he-is-in- the-sky-will-ome-and-strike-your-guitar-with-8-bar- lightning, T.Y.A. thinks blues is there to be played and played with. They do that, from a Mose Al- lison vocal that’s accurate right down to the Addison-Farmery bass figures, to Speed Kills, com- plete with trains screaming through the living room from right channel to left. S k ~ ~ b l y - D ~ b y - D o - h p and Three Blind Mice (played only on drums) are among the best of an album that is among the best so f a r in 1969.

John Patton- THAT CERTAIN FEELING-

Blue Note BST-84281

The Patton groups of the past have always characterized by good, tight ensemble work, solid musicians hanging around in a loose blues-based framework and just (is it passe to say so?). jam- ming. The new album deserves to be exposed to a lot of people, including some to whom it nor- mally wouldn’t. The old tenor, guitar, organ and drums combination comes out .of. it all here, look- ing next year’s Cadillac grille. It’s mostly original material although it’s melodically fa- miliar, and it’s done so well, so intricately, so assuredly it becomes almost hypnotic. Which is a far cry from being soporific, and that’s what most groups in this particular bag are. An easy, relaxed and highly competent album, it can work on several levels: it’d be great for the guy who figured jazz stopped after Ahmad Jamal went into real estate (or whatever he does). It also works for the fellow who’s just decided to become in- terested in jazz and was turned on to a Pharoah Sanders album by a well meaning friend. And, it’s nice for people who dig just good, unpreten- tious, straight-ahead stuff every once-in-a-while.

John Lennon-Yoko Ono- TWO VIRGINS-Tetragrammatunon/Apple T-5001

A t much-heralded long last, here it is, and, well, ah, um, yes, etcetera. John and Yoko (The Bobbsey Twins) adorn the cover, with their arms more or less about one another, somehow, captured for posterity in a mood or pre-planned abandon, by a befogged Nikon and in poor light at that. Not only that, but no matter where your preference lies, neither one would aeem to be able to do much for anyone’s adrenaline. Ineide? Well there’s Yoko Ono singing (we presume) and John Lennon talking, and people playing instruments in a large submerged concrete block, all sorts of gee-gosh electronic deviltry, and after some 20 minutes of it all, I have it: it’s to be filed under “Prairie-Beer- Parlour-Electronic-Blues--Audio-Verite.” If that happens to be one of your favourite things, and you’ve been waiting to hear it for years, then by God, YOU are in the market for this album.

TANZMUSIK AUS DER PRAETORIUS ZElT” Archive 198-t66

I often lament the paucity of recordings of PraetOriUS’ music., (Just Wednesday night I was sitting around lamenting the pauctty, and we had a couple of lamentable friends over.) Fraetorius remains one of my favourite composers, from the latter half of my favourite musical period. The Tanzmusik album has been around for a while. but has now been re-issued in a new package and in full-fledged stereo. Apart from the fact the album is brilliantly recorded (with the sort of sound that seems to be the divine right of German record manufacturers), the Collegium Terpsichore perform the Praetorius dances as well as some of the music from Schein’s Banchetto M,usicale and dances and galliards of Widman, with something approaching Renaissance glee-if not frenzy. A happier album it would be difficult to find.

He and Ted Dock- stader. along with perhaps Kenneth Gaburo and Ruth White, are among the few who are doing more than mathematical exercises with electronic compositions. Henry’s variations are just t h a t a door and a sigh were used, altered, shaped and reshaped and then composed along fairly con- ventional structural lines. I’ts a neat thing. Also, Henry’s Le Voyage, based on the Tibetan Book Of The Dead ((and available either on Limelight or on French Philips label) is an interesting record- ing. (The Philips is the better recording, but YOU forego the Englishly incoherent liner notes.) Most of Henry’s music is a worthwhile invest- ment-and while you’re at it, ask for Ruth White’s Tarot Cards.

m 0 -1-errn papers el if books are a.va

mer lable

Right now, you’re probably in the act of writing about five or six essays - a term paper for each course, and maybe a few left over from last term, too.

Most of your books came from the Mc- Pherson Library, and though maybe you had to wait a few days to get just what you wanted, things are a lot, lot better than they were just twa or three years ago.

This is because the book-bandits -are no longer on the rampage, according to head librarian Dean Halliwell.

A security system, installed in January, 1967, is preventing the temporary losses that had become a feature of the essay-time book rush, he said.

An editorial in The Martlet called the security move “a sad reflection on the stu- dent body” s.nd a “drastic measure.”

But in spite of resentment at the check- up system m d dire predictions that book thieves would be tempted to pilfer even more volumes t h m before, outstanding results have followtd the move, Halliwell said.

Now, in the middle of the Spring term, students are in one of what he calls the two annual “hetiry-use periods.”

The near1:r 400,000 volumes on the library shelves are heavily taxed by the sudden need for referent': works for essays and theses.

And this, until two years ago, was the time that thc ughtless students chose to smug- gle the much-needed texts away.

Uvic writers P roduce volume

Robin Skelton of the Eng- lish department has collected evidence that Uvic creative writing students have poten- tial.

“A fat little pamphlet,” was the phrase Skelton used to describe the book of collected poetry of students in the cre- ative writing program. Pub- lishing i t himself, Skelton said he hopes the book will be available for sale by the

end of this month. “If i t cannot be ready that earl], then a t least before the sum- mer break,” he added.

Skelton said he was satis- fied with the student re- sponse in creative writin): and is looking forward to productive classes in the fu. ture. The first book will bt! land Poetry,” which antici. pates a follow-up of a t l eas . two more volumes.

Pollution The Editor, Sir:

I have noted the letter in the Martlet of February 20th. 1969, regarding the objection- able products of combustion which periodically inundate a section of the quad. Miss Chapman pleads a strong case, and in this, we have no dis- agreement.

’r We also are only too aware of the condition and would like to present to you the problem, as it embarrasses the Build- ings and Grounds Department. This temporary plant was so located and installed with very low chimneys without the ben- efit of any advices from this Department. Added to this, is the fact that one of the fur- naces periodically fails to op- erate properly and at such t imes discharges heavy black smoke periodically. T h i s malfunction has been the source of bitter complaints to the manufacturer ending in an expensive redesign of the fuel system with no resulting im- provement.

To maintain the heating services we find i t is necessary to operate, at times, both of the two units. A third boiler in the Commons Building serves the same general heat- ing system but to date this unit has not been turned over

Y satisfactory for operation. Op- portunity to decrease total- fumes at the offending plant by use of the Commons unit is then denied us.

You will be more concerned regarding the prospects of alleviation and we see none until late summer at the earl-

iest. Plans are under way for a general purpose building in the area north of the offending plant, and if it does not actu- ally enclose such, i t will per- mit the extension of the chin- neys to a point in the order of twenty or more feet above adjacent buildings.

The effect of higher chim- neys will not remove the gas generation but it will at least discharge same at an elevation which will improve dilution and decrease the likelihood of reaching ground levels. I am sure you will realize that some threat exists wherever such a plant is iocated and whatever elevation the emission takes place.

There appears to be no oth- er economical solution to the problem. Fuel oils obtainable today are high in sulphur and although we buy on a tight specification r~elative to sul- phur there are no oils avail- able completely free of sul- phur.

The fuel costs for the Uni- versity are in the order of sixty thousand dollars per pear. A switch to an electrical source would present a yearly cost in the order of two hun- dred and forty thousand dol- lars which could add a severe burden on University funds including student fees.

Finally, we can only add that the alterations we antici- pate will a t least alleviate the present periodic severe nuis- ance.

Yours truly,

There had been complete silence for several minutes. The, professor hoped that this meant they were thinking. But then three or four of the class began to yawn openly, and someone else began to hum a tune.

“Well now,” he said, non too sure of him- self, “What do you think about it all?”

“What you think would be more to the point,” said someone, none too politely.

Everyone looked at the Professor to see how he would take it. He was, of course, in his allotted place at the back of the class.

“Yes,” the student went on, “You must have an opinion of your own about that quote from Guevara-why don’t you let u s have it?”

“Because it’s not for me to intervene, to guide you in your thinking, to rob you of your freedom of . . .“

“What’s the use of having you around at all,” said the student. There was a murmur of agreement all over the room.

“I am here to make the texts available to you. And the doctrines, and the ideas. What you do with them is . . . After all,” said the Professor, “the Critical University has been in existence for twenty years now and . . .”

“Just how old are you ?” said a girl in glasses, again none too politely.

“I’m forty-five. Why do you ask?” “Because we’re twenty-five. What have you

to show for those twenty years? What have you read? What have you thought? What have you experienced? Nothing, one would think. Since last November twelve of u s have read papers at your seminar-very bad ones, I may add- and you haven’t read one. Why not?”

“That would be an old-fashioned ex cathedra lecture,” replied the Professor. “That kind of thing was abolished twenty years ago.”

“Well, I’ve had enough of it !” said a beard- ed man at the back as he pounded the table. “It’s just what happens everywhere nowadays. No one can say what he thinks without being interrupted and contradicted. It’s supposed to be a sign of intelligence. But I won’t stand any more !”

“I’ll certainly think all this over,” muttered the Professor making for the door.

“We’ve already thought it out for you,” said one of the girls. “Here’s a list of the things we’d like to hear you talk about.”

“We don’t give a damn for that,” said the bearded man. “What‘s liberty for, anyway?”

The Professor got out, in the end. He felt dreadfully old. He had just returned from a refresher course in Holland after his statutory year in industry. Munich, Naples, Louvain, Liverpool: four different posts in four years (as was laid down by the European regulations of the new Critical Education Service). It was heavy going.

That plenary congress in China a year or two back had come as a fearful blow to him. That solemn repudiation of Mao Tse-tung and the cult of personality. . . . And then, a matter of weeks ago, the assassination of the aged Castro, the Black-shirts in Cuba. . . .

“I’m worn out,” he thought. “Worn out. Fit for nothing. . . .”

The regular alternation in power of the Popular Front and the Conservatives: endless demagogy, and the corruption that went with it. It seemed to him as if each generation had done nothing but pull down its predecessor; a twenty-years commotion that left humanity just where it started.

But he was wrong. His had been a preco- cious generation, but they had still to learn that every country was the same: the human race made progress the way an individual human being makes progress-one step, and then another step, left, right, left, right. . . . It was bitter to him to think that the young people of his time had been betrayed.

If only he had died then, on the barricades! He couldn’t get a civil word out of any of his three sons. One of them had even denounced him to the Central Committee of the University as a romantic, out of touch with reality, and as a Utopian with anarchist leanings.

As he went through the lodge, the porter looked closely at his bent back his thinning, grey-flecked haid, and said to his wife:

“Amazing how he’s aged, poor old Profes- sor Cohn-Bendit.”

What will we do with Retired Sailors? lEx-seruicemen’s lament

By ERIC GRIMSHAW Lean grey destroyers slide out of the

fog of Beacon Hill. Home bound from a South America cruise or heading out for Pacific manoeuvres - nobody cares much. Wives and families of sailors, maybe a few excited prairie transplants, but Victoria is a naval base and warships are commonplace. And no one notices the navy much, except when a couple of sailors get drunked up and chase the odd hippy. When Eric Grimshaw brought the following article to the Martlet we were surprised: we hadn’t thought much about the Canadian Armed Forces either, ex’ cept in a moralistic, abstracted way. W e think whnt Mr. Grimshaw had to say is important because it gets right down to the nit typit ty. W e hadn’t thought much cibout what hap0 pens to cureer soldiers when the military doesn’t need them anymore. Now we’ve started thinking. . . . (Editor’s Note)

All over our affluent nation is a man searching for a job, and everywhere he goes he pots the brush-off. At times he sits a t home and thinks and wonders what he should try for next.

He picks up the paper and discovers that the taxes are going up to hold back inflation. This has apparently been caused through too much money chasing too few goods, too many jobs chasing ttoo few workers.

If this is the case, he wonders why he doesn’t have to chase off a horde of employers imploring him to “please work for them,” and offering him the sun, moon and stars. He knows there are men who go to work every day in a business suit and never perform any manull tasks. He hears there are jobs that are in- teresting - where a man is free to think and use his initiative.

These men work from eight to five, Monday to Friday, an hour for lunch and a couple ( f coffee breaks thrown in. They are free on the weekends, do not work on statutory holidays, and receive up to 30 days holiday a year.

Average salary $8,000 to $12,000 a year. He wonders what kind of world these

people live in, and knows that if he ever stumbles on this kind of job he hasn’t a hope in hell of getting it.

Sure, he will eventually find a job, but i t will be of the low, menial type. He will be on shift work, working weekends and holidays, and if he is lucky he may get a couple of weeks

holiday with or without pay. He won’t be required to think or use his

initiatilre. He will have one option - work his guts out and do as he is told.

Join the rat race and draw starvation wages, or else.

The last hired and the first fired. He will be able to enjoy, if that is the word,

working: a t a dull, monotonus, boring job. From here on in he can look forward to an existence till he dies. All he has to look forward to is the grave.

Who is this man? Some kind of n u t ? Is h e a n e:r-con just released from the pen? By no means is he any of these.

yo11 people in civilian life, you members of the z.ffluent society should have guessed.

He is around you everywhere - employed as janitor, dishwasher, commissionaire . . . . He is the rc!tired ex-service man.

He is about 45 to 55, has no trade, unless you cal I machine-gunner, rifleman, commando and similar activities a trade.

Hailing left school in the ~ O ’ S , he may have B grade eight education, and he is now where I1e is today because he committed the horrible crime of serving his country for over a q u a r t w of a century.

D u ~ i n g his career he has been subjected to mililary discipline and punished for so- called crimes that would never have been con- sidered as such by the civilian.

Even the civilian serving a prison sentence has not been subjected to the harsh treatment that sorle servicemen have suffered in deten- tion.

Add that servicemen are deprived of many of the freedoms that civilians take for granted, and you wonder what made these men stick with tht, services so long.

It scems unjust, to say the least, that these veterans, these men who have spent the best years 0:’ their lives in the service of their country, suffering inconvenience and lack of freedom, who have been moved from one place to anotller, never getting the opportunity to settle d(lwn and make a real home for them- selves and family, and who in wartime have lived unler appalling conditions while defend- ing their country, should find themselves in the position they are in today.

The government has retired these men, giv- ing them nothing except an inadequate pension, which is in fact a superannuation, contributed to by thf servicemen at the ra te of six per cent of pay.

It wems that the government is saying in effect: “You’re fired. You’re too old. Goodbye thou gooti and faithful sucker. Now get out and

€end for yourself.’’ What is the att i tude of the average citizen

towards retired ex-servicemen who has spent a quarter of a century and more in the service of his country?

Are they apathetic, and unconcerned? Is there attitude that of: “If the lazy bum was content to stay in the forces having a ball at our expense, then he should be prepared to pay the consequences?”

The ex-serviceman is not a lazy bum. He didn’t join to dodge work, or because he got some girl in trouble and used the forces as a hiding place.

This man needs help. He doesn’t want sympathy. He needs to be wanted and re- spected. He wants a job that he can perform both physically and mentally, and he needs a job that gives him satisfaction and the feeling that he is achieving something for which he will be adequately rewarded.

What he needs from the government is com- plete rehabilitation and training so that he can be converted from serviceman to civilian, so that he can live out the remaining years of his life in peace and tranquility and contentment and security, as a reward for his services. Right now he is a bitter, confused man, not really knowing what he wants to do. Kicked out into a world which he neither knows or under- stands.

Is it any wonder that our young service- man, seeing what happens to the man who stays in the forces too long, is rushing out to civvy street, thereby undermining and weakening the effectiveness of our armed forced?

What will you citizens do about this prob- lem? Will you write the Prime Minister o r your M.P. demanding a better deal for the ex- serviceman, or even what is wrong with our armed forces? Will you even write letters to the editor?

1s it possible that your attitude will be ‘yo Ifell with the ex-servicemen and armed forces?” In which case 1 suggest that you petition the government to abolish the armed forces (it would Save YOU nearly $2,000,000,000 in taxes), 2nd to avoid the economic kick in the pants that many communities would suffer; maybe we could entice the Americans to m0v.e in their forces. ‘In this case we could leave Uncle Sam to defend us and maybe in time we could all become Americans.

If this ever comes to pass it will be good- bye to booming Canada, proud Canada and weak Canada, and we won’t have to argue about such things as independence, the flag and bilingual- ism.

By ROBIN BURGESS Eqtudity in all fields is a slogan heard often

in these troubled times. And campus politics i s no exception. Terrified this summer by the grim prcupect of ladies in the powered print dresses storming the Houses of Parliament, and further frightened by several doses of Aristo, phanes’ play, Ladies’ Day, T h e Martlet decided on a conciliatory gesture to campus women. Sending ace female reporter Robin Burgess searching after what is really happening, T h e Martlet recorded the following interview with three female members of the brand new repre. sentative assembly.

They are, Paddy Gage, Fine Arts I , Linda Bonner, Education I , and Pam Harris, Educa. tion 3 .

Burgess: I remember a male teacher telling me once that because of a woman’s emotional make-up it is impossible for any woman to be a really great or even a particularly good politician. Do you agree?

Gage: It just depends on the individual. You could be quite emotional but I don’t think just because you’re a woman you’re going to be. As f a r as great politicians - well Judy LaMarsh may not have been a great politician but she sure was famous.

Bonner: I wouldn’t say a woman should be Prime Minister or anything . . . I wouldn’t want to

see a woman taking over the country . . . Mainly I just thi.lk that should be left to the male, be- cause that’s the way I feel “Males should be dominant.

Gage: I guezs its possible but I wouldn’t really like to see it. I feel at the top you should have a man.

Harrig: I think that no matter how you try to forget the fact that women are more emotional than men you can’t. This came up at our coun- selling clzss. We had a woman arguing with a fellow and she, in the end, got extremely emotional and illogi1:al. I think that basically women are just this “ay.

Burgess: Do you feel there is any place for the studerlt radical on the RA? Students have power. Should we utilize i t ?

Bonner: I think you can get a happy medium neither left nor right. I think the idea is to have some council members that are quite radical and some that are quite conservative.

Gage: Student power in the form of destruc- tion like ~ou’v’e seen exemplified on some of the American campuses, I wouldn’t want to see that here a t a l l ,

Harris: I think that in a lot of cases sit-ins and silent walk-pasts can be very, very good as far as pu1,ting a point across and showing the people tha; count that the major i ty of people are interested in getting something done. Like the English Ullion silent march past. I agree with it.

Burgem: Linda, your party (USM) feels the old student government used confrontation tactics.

Wouldn’t YOU consider a walk-past or sit-in con- frontation tactics?

Banner: I don’t think that‘s confrontation. When I ran with the USM I believed generally in their three Policies. I think they offered a good alternative . . . as f a r as confrontation, I think first of all co-operation comes first and then if you have a really good thing that you want to put across to the faculty YOU have to co-operate wit11 them . . . and maybe finally if they say no and still vou believe, you might have to confront in this way by silent walk-pasts and sit-ins-as a last resort.

Burgess: Then how can xou accuse the Frketich government of confronting the adminis- tration ?

Bonner: When I ran with the USM I wasn’t criticizing last Year’s student council . . . Maybe somebody on the USM did.

Burgess: Drew Schroeder did. Bonner: Maybe he did but he wasn’t really

our leader, he was just running for president on the USM slate . . . I have my own personal opinion.

Burgess: Have you read this week’s Martlet about the resignation of Tammy Hurst? What do you think?

Gage: What I’d like to know is why we didn’t heas about this before? . . . Suppose she did make a big “no, no” as far as that self-evaluation was concerned, that it was against department policy- well tf1e letter from Dean Wallace was really kind of an awfully harsh reprimand for her.

No summer job in sight 3 . You may

By DAVID BLACK CUS Secretariat

Students who found it difficult to obtain summer employment last year will find it even harder this summer.

The prospects for students employment are dimmer since last year’s low. A number of economic realities reveal our position :

e approximately 30-40 ’% of Canadian stu- dents were effectively unemployed last summer.

e t h e overall unemployment rate has shown an unusual increase during the winter

ethere are no precise figures on student employment and no plans to handle the sum- mer’s rush on jobs this year.

The Dominion Bureau of Statistics says 74,000 persons between ages 14-19 were unem- ployed last summer. This includes only part of all students seeking jobs.

In 1967-68 there were 237,000 undergrad- uates in Canada (DBS) ; add to this all grad- uate students and members of community col- leges, technical‘schools, etc., and the increase in this year’s enrollment-there jus t aren’t enough jobs.

“unusual” situation . Manpower has not statistics on students

entering the work force, when, for how long, etc., the government agency claims to have found 17,000 jobs last year once it had set up special services to handle the unexpected de- mand. (This figure includes such jobs as two or three hours a week cutting grass.)

Although last year’s situation was des- cribed as unusual - it was reported that some 2,700 women with BA’s were unemployed in Toronto alone - there don’t appear to be any more opportunities opening up in 1969.

Coupled with increasing unemployment fig- ures, summer student employment could effec-

not find The job shortage will force students to rely

increasingly on loans and awards to finance their education. The loans plan was designed to supplement student summer earnings. If the amount of part-time and summer work has been permanently reduced, a new approach will have to be developed.

Are there solutions? After combining the accent on student con-

tributions, the generally low amount available in awards and the rising cost of living, a signi- ficant number of students may have to defer their education. 1.n any case the goal of the federal-provincial loans plan - “to ensure that all who are capable can continue their educa- tion” - will not be fulfilled. Unless a basically different stance is taken, a number of solutions appear possible :

( 1 ) The loans-awards program be greatly expanded. This entails more money from al- ready hard pressed government revenues. The money should have to come from increased taxes; though not necessarily from that tax base already overtaxed-i.e. it is possible to increase taxes on a more equitable basis with the implementation of the Carter Report and a tax increase to larger corporations (specific- ally mining and oil companies).

( 2 ) Implementation of mammoth summer work projects for students. This could involve- a CYC-style program allowing students to work during the summer on various commun- i ty projects and have this :redited toward increased financial aid at university. Again, money is coming from government funds, though with an input of real work on the part of the student and a contribution from com- munity or private enterprise.

(3) Operation of universities on a tri- mester basis. This has certain obvious attrac- tions (mors student in less time; better use of

m m . basic facilities) but would require greater expenditure than an increase loans and a- wards. It would involve greater university operating costs and a simultaneous cut-back on student summer earnings (if they are in fact available).

(4 ) Governmental policies aimed at full employment - the simplest and most obvious solution. Full employment is possible.

Canadians still lack many of the necessities of life (housing, food, medical assistance) and they can be supplied. The unemployed could be engaged in filling these needs if the govern- ment initiated the proper programs. And full employment policies, would automatically raise tax revenues.

governments hold the answer However, any solution to the present stu-

dent employment problem will only come about after pressure is concentrated on government (federal and provincial). Demands should cen- tre about summer employment and loans- awards programs but should always take into account where the revenue is to come from to support new projects. Students can no longer afford to alienate that sector of the population which is presently overtaxed (those earning under $10,000) and should integrate their de- mands with those aimed at a more equitable distribution of wealth in our society.

(One cannot ignore the federal govern- ment’s tendency to continue hitting this par- ticular tax Base - witness the recent 2% surtax which drops on incomes over $10,000.)

One thing is clear: the summer job situa- tion makes i t imperative that students not ignore the political implications of their pres- ent position nor be afraid to enter the political arena to act with others for long overdue governmental action. tively disappear.

Good 01’ wishy-washy nitpicking Opinion by Wat Paulson

Sunday night the new council members, you know, the ones dedicated to the task of “getting things done,” had their first meet- ing.

Observers had to agree that as f a r as good wishy-washy nitpicking goes, council meetings of the last government just weren’t in the same class. These cats are pros.

Here’s how the new government machin- ery functioned for the first time. 7:30--Things running smoothly. 8 :30”Drew Schroeder, Bob Higinbotham

and one other newly elected member of the executive council were nomin- ated for Clubs Director. D r e w Schroeder protested “But none of us want the position . . . ”

8:50”r. Schroeder was elected Clubs Di- rector anyway.

9:OO-The RA passed a motion to grant $500 to the Uvic Kite Festival. Was everybody high ? No one ever sub- mitted a budget for this one before.

9:30-A move was made by the new council to withdraw a motion passed by last year’s group to back the Georgia Straight for $50 in its legal hassles with the courts in Vancouver. One and one half hours of irrelevant dis- cussion followed (naturally). Most notable statements : Dave Gillett (the Council’s only Christian j , - “I support dissent and motherhood, I suppose.” Pete Songhurst (after voting ‘yes’ on a point- -- “What was the question we are voting on ?” Finally peace was proclaimed but nothing accomplished.

1l:OO-A meaningful motion was passed supporting, a petition signed by 170 people asking that rooms in the Ed Arts be set, aside for study purposes. ( (Thank God, there were no deep, moral decisions to be made.)

Ian McKir non rose to present a mo- tion, “It’s a really nice motion . . . ,” he explain 3d. The “nice” motion pro- posed “thr.t the members of th eRA mandate t ne Speaker . . . to appear, before the aforementioned members . . . wearing a white shirt and tie, a fitting attire for such a position.” Debate on this gem continued for 15 minutes, t nen . . . ! ! Vote: 6 yes, 9 no, 6 abstentions. Four sane mem- bers refused to be bothered with such issues.

11:20-A member leaped to his feet to pro- claim to all that “This whole meeting has been unconstitutional because the Speaker WAS elected before March 1.” Forty minlltes of hogwash resulted. The Speaker of the RA (who was not really the Speaker, I guess) replied: “What we are trying to do is use the least illegal means of doing this.” Wow! What a heavy trip.

People in the audience quietly filtered out (in disgust?) Those who remained just sat and giggled. 11 :45”Someone with brains ( I was too tired

at this po.nt to notice who), moved that the meeting be adjourned. Peace was once again restored. Twenty-eig.ht members walked from the room, patting each other on the back. Ah! there’s nothing like beins on the RA to get that feeling of real accompliskment.

1l:OB-Meanwhile, back at the comedy.
