Foreign contro lthreatens futur e

OTTAWA (CUP) — Canada's future is threatened unles sthe federal government ensures major industrial sectors of theeconomy are removed from the grasp of foreign-controlledcorporations, a Science Council of Canada report says .

The report, written by Pierre Bourgault, applied sciencedean at the University of Sherbrooke, says the government' sfailure to create a pro-Canadian industrial climate has ac-celerated the take-over of the economy .

Foreign-owned industry has established itself in Canada' smajor industrial sectors — such as automobiles, phar-maceutical products and plastics and man-made fibres — usin gtechnology and products developed by their parent cor-porations .

This foreign domination in the economy's key growth area shas blocked the development of the industrial base an dtechnological knowledge Canada needs for the future, the reportsays .

Such industrial skills are keys to the growth of innovative ,high-technology industries which Canada needs to provide jobsand achieve greater economic independence .

Bourgault attacked government policies offering in-vestment "incentives" to corporations without preferentia ltreatment for Canadian firms . The policies have led to an ac-celeration of foreign control in the economy .

Release of the report last week came only two days after th eU.S. commerce department announced the value of U .S.-ownedbusiness in Canada jumped by $1 .24 billion to $24 .03 billion i n1971 .

Such government programs as regional incentive grant shave "encouraged a considerable amount of counter-productiv einvestment in Canada in recent years . "

"In our policies and in our programs aimed at industria ldevelopment, we seem to give more importance to capital, theplant, and the equipment than we do to development of th epeople who provide the knowledge inputs that make them run, "the report says .

"We have given large grants to multi-national corporation sso that they may build factories that are little more than fou rwalls and a roof, in which to house easily transportabl e,production machines run by unskilled or semi-skilledproduction workers . "

Bourgault says this means the structure of Canadian in-dustry must be radically altered over the next decade if Canadais to hold her own in world trade .

Bourgault also says we must stop being "hewers of woodand drawers of water" . Although exports of natural resourcescontinues to soar, Canada's trade deficit in sophisticatedproducts keeps growing .

Canada has failed to develop the advanced materials andnew technologies associated with our natural resources, agai nbecause of foreign control and imported technologies .

"We are the world's largest producer of nickel, but we ar enet importers of stainless steel and manufactured nickl eproducts, including `cold climate' nickel-cadmium batteriesBourgault says .

Similarly "we are the world's largest exporter of pulp an dpaper, but we import much of our fine paper and virtually all o fthe highly-sophisticated paper, such as backing fo rphotographic film and dielectric papers for use in electroni ccomponents . "

The report says development of high-technology industry i svital because Canada can no longer count on the same growt hpreviously enjoyed from mineral extraction .

National French study 'simplistic 'By LAURENCE LEADE RThe recent report titled

French-Canadian Studies an dTheir Place in Universit yFrench Departments is sim-plistic and inadequate, UB CFrench department head

Larry Bongie said Tuesday .The report, which wa s

prepared by Carletonuniversity professors DonaldSmith, Sinclair Robinson ,Robin Matthews and formerstudent Joyce Wayne, claims

that Canadian universityFrench departments showinadequate interest in Frenc hCanada .

"We need to see how ac -curate the report really is, "Bongie said, "for example the

of its recommendations i sneeded . "

The report claimed thatQuebecois literature andcivilization was generall yignored in Canadian universit yFrench departments or limite dto honors students .

Students taking French on ageneral program are taught alanguage which is exclusivel yinternational and are F tprepared for any real contac twith French-speakin gCanadians .

The report proposes 46 percent of a university's Frenchdepartment be involved i nFrench-Canadian studies .

At present only theUniversity of Saskatchewan ,University of Regina and thebilingual University of Ottaw aoffer Quebecois studies to tha textent .

According to the report thepresent national average is 1 4per cent, UBC's is eight percent, and SFU's is 12 per cent .

Gerard Tougas a UB Cprofessor who supports thereport, said its proposal sshould not be taken verbatim .

"The report recommends i nprinciple what should be donebut its recommendations aretoo ambitious for someplaces," he said .

Tougas said the Frenchdepartment has a generallyfavorable attitude towards th eprinciple of the report .

"We're trying," said Tougas ,"but it is very hard to getcompetent instructors in thi sarea . "

This season the Frenchdepartment offers threecourses involving Quebecoisliterature and language, aswell as a course given throughthe centre for continuingeducation .

There is also an inter- -departmental seminar abou tQuebec involving the French ,history, geography andpolitical science departments .

By LINDA HOSSI EUnemployment among B .C . status

Indians living off the reserve is at leas tseven times higher than unemploymen tfor B .C. as a whole .

These findings, published recently b yManpower, are part of a larger study byUBC professors W . T. Stanbury and D. B .Fields and University of Victoria prof D .Stevenson .

The study deals with Indian ur-banization and unemployment and studiesthe effects of age, education, family sizeand other factors on Indian unem-ployment and income .

The study was financed by a Donne rCanadian Foundation grant .

The study sample was "very large"Stanbury said. It included 1,095 B.C .status Indians living off the reserve .About half the sample had spent at leas thalf their lives off the reserve and 78 percent had lived off the reserve for at leas t12 months Stanbury said .

The unemployment figure was reache dby including all persons unemployed andlooking for work and all persons unem-ployed who indicated they were notlooking for work .

The official Monthly Labour ForceSurvey by Statistics Canada includes onlythose unemployed persons who ar eseeking work in its calculations ofunemployment but this does not take int oconsideration the "discouraged worker "factor which is important in the India nstudy Stanbury said .

Discouraged workers are persons whohave given up looking for work because o fprevious futile searches for employment .

An unemployment rate not taking thi sfactor into consideration is understate dStanbury said .

The official B.C . unemployment rateduring June, July and August of 1971 was27 per cent . Stanbury's study, includin gdiscouraged workers, found the rate to be46 .5 per cent .

"What it means is if you made unem-ployment bad enough (so everyone go t"discouraged") you could reduce th eunemployment rate to zero," Stanbur ysaid.

Stanbury stressed the fact that "fo rIndians who completed grade twelve theunemployment rate fell to 16 per cent . "This drop wasn't significant until hig hschool graduation he said .

Stanbury also stressed the Indianproblem in the university .

"Almost no Indian students finishsecond year," he said . This is somethingUBC should be concerned about . It's the

same case at UVic and the communitycolleges . "

The study of Indian income wa sorganized around the question "regar-dless of level of income how many peoplewere able to support themselves," durin gthe period January 1969 to mid 1971 . Theterm "support themselves" was define das avoiding welfare .

"We found that 28 per cent of thefamilies in our sample were not self-supporting in even one month in the twoand one-half year period upon which weobtained data and 24 per cent of thesample were self-supporting for the entir eperiod," the report reads .

In order to measure and describe theincidence of poverty among B .C. Indiansthe study defined a poverty line . Theyadopted the Senate poverty line eventhough it is somewhat above that of theEconomic Council of the Dominio nBureau of Statistics — "particularly whenfamilies of more than five persons areconsidered."

"It is interesting," the report reads"that a public opinion poll conductedduring the course of the line adopted in theSenate investigations places the povertyline about 50 per cent above the SenateReport line . "

"Perhaps we could define the"hypocrisy gap," as the difference bet-ween Canadian social assistanc epayments and the amount sufficient toensure that all Canadians achieve a nincome above the poverty line as in-dicated by the public opinion poll . "

Measuring income from employmentonly, 54 per cent of B .C . status Indiansliving off the reserve make under $2000, 65per cent make under $4000, only 13 per'cent make over $18,000 and 35 per centmake nothing .

Measuring income plus governmenttransfer payments (welfare, familyallowance, old age pensions and so on) 28per cent make under $2000, 53 per centmake under $4000, and 14 per cent makeover $8000 .

The figures for all of B .C. under thesecond category are 13 per cent of B.C .' s"economically active group," (populatio naged 16 to 65) make under $2000, 28 percent make under $4000 and 44 per centmake over $8000 .

"These figures don't adjust for familysize and Indians have, on the average ,larger families," Stanbury said .

"Some 36 .2 per cent of persons who ar eor have been married report having fiv eor more children, while 40 .5 per centreport two or fewer children . The average

report says UBC has only twocourses in French-Canadia nliterature when we really havefour . "

"The positions of the repor tare very simplistic," sai dBongie. "A more serious study

number of children reported is slightlymore than four . In addition 70 of the 402single persons indicated they wereparents of one or more children . "

"The conclusion we must reach is tha tthe typical Indian adult has a significantlylarger number of dependents to supportwith a very much smaller income fro memployment than is the case of non-Indians," the report reads .

In Canada 25 per cent of the people wer ebelow the poverty line in 1969 . For Indiansthe comparable figure was 63 per cent .This is two and one half times as highStanbury said.

The gap in education is being closed an dStanbury said he sees this as a sign tha tthe Indians are making a move to im-prove their economical standing .

"A lot of people are taking vocationaltraining," he said .

"Of our total sample of 1,095 we foundthat 385 persons of 35 per cent had taken atotal of 599 special or vocational coursesof various duration . . . Perhaps the moststriking finding elicited from ourquestions about special coursess andvocational training is that 92 per cent ofpersons reported one or more coursesstated that they had completed the courseor are in the process of so doing," Stan-bury wrote in the report .

Stanbury became interested in theIndian economic situation throug hworking with Fields on another study ,"The Economic Impact of the Publi cSector Upon the Indians of B .C.," whichwas contracted from the Department ofIndian Affairs .

This study "was being held up b yPremier Bennett personally as I un-derstand," Stanbury said . The study hasnow been published .

From page 1he could listen to GeorgeCarlin," he said .

"The university communit yis supposed to be liberal,"bakshi said . "And then you runacross a radio station that ismore rigid than any down -

' town.""The thing we'd like to push

is that there's nothing on theradio worth listening to, "Foster said . "All we weretrying to do was add somethingcreative ."

For a mere $125,000 you could be swimming in acovered swimming pool on the UBC campus by theend of next term.

But instead UBC students are paying $5 a year forthe next 20 years to pay for a $2 .8 million whiteelephant which won't be ready for at least a year an da half .

F . D. Bolton, owner of Bolton and Company, afirm that for two years has been building collapsibleplastic coverings for outdoor athletic sites, says hisfirm could cover the Empire pool as it stands now for$125,000 and could do it in four months .

Of course renovations to the pool such as adde dbleachers, filtration systems and even new showerswould add to the cost, but it is doubtful whether theincrease would amount to anything like $2 .65 million .

The point, it seems was to have a covered pool .

Bolton could provide that .St . George's Private School had such a top buil t

for its 100 ' by 45 ' pool for $27,000 .This is their second season with the dome and

they have had no problems — they are completel ysatisfied .

The Jericho Tennis Club had a similar dome buil tfor their courts two seasons ago .

They also are quite satisfied with the per-formance of the cover. So much so that they intend tohave Bolton build an additional structure on to thei rpresent one .

The domes are puncture resistant, air con-ditioned, and can be easily collapsed for storage by afew men .

There is no problem with condensation — less, i nfact than with a conventional structure .

Bolton's price includes the installation of the air

conditioning and provides a dome high enough toaccommodate the diving tower .

Bolton was approached a year and a half ago bythe AMS regarding construction of a cover for theEmpire pool .

Bolton says he is not sure why he was turneddown .

Alma Mater Society vice-president GordonBlankstein says he doesn't know why either .

Blankstein says a covered Empire pool would b einadequate .

The filtration, wiring, and shower facilities of theEmpire pool are antiquated .

However, Blankstein did say once the new $2. 8million baby is built its filtration system will b ehooked up to the antiquated, outdated, Empire poo lso UBC will have two pools .

Maybe then we'll put a cover on Empire pool .

Student powerFifteen hundred students are on strike at Memoria l

University in Newfoundland .In Quebec, thousands of university students are

preparing for a strike .At UBC, 20,000 students are . . . uhh . . . hmmm . . .

well, maybe . . . they could be . . . sort of . . . but thenagain, maybe not . . .

Yes, the place has been pretty dead the past fou ryears.

UBC student activism "peaked" on that gloriousafternoon in 1968 when Jerry Rubin, a piglet and 2,000students held a party in the faculty club .

Since then the motley group of insurgents hav egraduated to face the real world, the piglet presumably hasbeen made into chops and Jerry Rubin is telling people t oget out and vote.

So does the situation in the east mean studentactivism is making a comeback? Not in our opinion.

The strike at Memorial University was caused by adirect attack on the student union by the administration.Students are not striking to gain . new power ; they are onlyattempting to hang on to what little power they alread yhave.

A similar situation exists in Quebec .In the rest of the country, the student movement i s

practically non-existent, so UBC students shouldn't fee lguilty for not storming the administration building to bac kwhatever demands they ' re not coming up with .

Besides, they can hardly be blamed for being borninto a dying class in a colonized country .

What they can be blamed for is not attempting totranscend the limitations placed on them by thei rbackgrounds.

Students can begin this transcendence by contactin gtheir undergraduate society reps to find out what they'redoing to increase student power . If they're not doinganything, students should ask why .

Do it!

Three cheers for Art Smolen-sky who, in his Tuesday, Nov . 7Exposure column, blasted (inwords only) the new BuchananTower as a monument of alien-ation on top of being a firehazard! As Art says : "The erect-ion and execution of this building

Buchanan Towe r

has been from start to finish avisual statement that there is n olong-range planning on this cam-pus . "

We have the most beautiful siteof any university in the world an dyet what has been done to it is acrying scandal . This is the troublewith UBC : new needs for space ,buildings, facilities, etc. are me ton a piece-meal, ad hoc year-by-year, erratic basis, instead of along-range, well thought out an dplanned basis . The architecture o fSimon Fraser University may b econtroversial, but at least it i sarchitecture! On our campus wehave nothing but a hodge-podg eof 1936 Gothic constructions lik ethe library, World War II armyhuts, and drab faceless match-boxes like Buchanan, Angus andthe Walter Gage Towers . With the

possible exceptions of the Lass-erre Building, Internationa lHouse, the Music building, thegraduate student centre, the fac-ulty club and the Metallurgybuilding, there is not one con-struction which evidences theimprint of an architect .

This campus is perpetuallybeing dug up in one area o ranother — and sometimes in thesame area time and again —causing scarce financial resource sto be wasted away, along with ou rnerves. Green spaces havethoughtlessly been cemented over,instead of building undergroun dparking facilities . A couple ofyears ago a small and unique stan dof primeval forest was choppe ddown to widen the Fraser Rive rparking lot . Seen from the air, thewhole area south of UniversityBoulevard is a scene of devastat-ion: there, everything has bee ndestroyed and cemented over int oa jungle of roads that leadnowhere and parking lots .

Decisions relating to what is t obe build at UBC and to the futureof this campus in general, shouldno more be left to the discretionof a few people who never consulttheir constituency (faculty andstudents), than the future o fVancouver should be entrusted t oa few real estate speculators .Although the UBC authorities Iallude to are honest, selfless an ddedicated to the public good —unlike their downtown counter-parts — still the visual and en-vironmental result is no better .

One wonders for instance, wh ydoes UBC have a school o farchitecture when even its voice isnever heard in these matters andnew construction plans, instead o fbeing entrusted to capable archi-tects on campus are farmed out t omindless technicians outside . Fouryears ago, when the students

RipoffLast year, while I was living in

Place Vanier, I went to a publicit ymeeting for the Walter GageTowers. Housing director Le sRohringer and housing accountan tKeith Davis were at that meeting

Wally Towers

to answer questions and provid einformation about the new resi-dence complex .

One common complaint voicedat that meeting was the high cos tof living in the towers — $75 pe rmonth is quite a bit for moststudents . Davis dealt with thecomplaint by saying that $67 .50per month was really a true rfigure . when you included the timethat students were permitted toremain in the residences over theholidays. Now, however, we havefound that we are all expected toleave on Dec. 21 and not returnuntil Jan . 2, or else pay $2 .47 pe rday for the room. This is notmentioned anywhere in the infor-mation booklet for the residences,and the majority of residents willonly find out this week whe nnotices are posted throughout th etowers .

Having discovered all this, and

being rather upset about it all, Iwent to see student housin gadvisor Dennis Boyd, to find ou twhat was happening . I was in-formed that we could not expec tto remain in the residences ove rthe holidays when we had no tpaid for it — we couldn ' t staythere free, in other words . Ireferred to Davis' statement at themeeting at Place Vanier last year ,and was told that I should no trely on verbal information — inother words, read the booklet . Iwas also told that if I worked outthe rates over the total period o ftime we are living in the resi-dences, I would find that it di dcome to $67 .50 per month. Ispent some time trying to do this ,and it just doesn't work out tha tway. Gage residents pay $252 forthe first term, which consists o f102 days, and $291 for thesecond term, whicy consists o f119 days. This works out t oapproximately $2 .47 per day. Theresidence clerk corroborated thi sdaily rate, and said he kne wnothing about the monthly rate —yet residents are expected to givea full month's notice if they wan tto receive a refund if they moveout before the term ends .

It seems to me that this is jus tanother example of how theuniversity administration is takin gfull advantage of its monopol ysituation with regard to housing ,and while I really don't believ ethat they are going to change thei rpolicies because of student pro-tests, I think the students of thi suniversity should be aware of theactivities of the housing author-ities .

Western shift toBy PAUL KNOX

In Italy, just to prove they can do it, 5,000 worker stake over the operation of a tire factory and run it fo rseveral days at varying speeds without the help o fengineers or technicians .

In Toronto, several years of organization an dagitation stop the construction of an expresswa ycondemned as a soul-destroyer for the city's core .

In Vancouver, residents of the Strathcona neigh-borhood organize and thwart an urban renewa lproject which would have levelled their homes .

For University of Toronto political scientist C .B . Macpherson, these phenomena — all occurrin gwithin the last five years — represent the beginning sof an important shift in consciousness amon gWestern industrial societies .

We are, he says, going to be thinking of ourselvesmore, and more as producers rather than consumer ,as creative transformers of the world rather tha nusers of goods and services provided to us by astructure over which we have no control .

And for Macpherson, who last week finished aseries of UBC lectures on democracy in the in-dustrial age, the move toward participation in thecommunity and the workplace may represent theonly hope for liberal democracy .

Macpherson is an imposing, hook-nosed politicaltheorist who filled a Buchanan lecture hall for fournoon-hour talks . His slow, precise manner enabled u sto follow the logic - and see some of the short -comings — of his analysis .

His work on the history of political theory reache dbook form in 1962 when he published The Politica lTheory of Possessive Individualism . In this look a tthe work of Hobbes, Locke, the Levellers and Jame sHarrington, he showed how their theories —elements of which are present in modern liberalismwere designed to fit the emerging market econom yof the 17th century and its notion of man as an infiniteconsumer, driven by his nature to acquire as man ygoods and services as possible .

Since the theory of Hobbes and Locke was basedon the internal cohesion of the decision-makin gcommunity, he argued, it ceased to become aworkable political- principle when the democraticfranchise was extended in the mid-19th century fro mthe political and economic elite to the masses .

In 1965, Macpherson's The Real World o fDemocracy suggested a way out of this "lack ofcohesion", which has become increasingly apparen tsince the franchise was universalized in Wester ndemocracies . The non-capitalist (communist an dthird-world) countries might be short on "individualfreedom," he reasoned. But the lessons they weresupposed to contain for Western democracy was tha tthe abolition of what Macpherson called "thecompuslive transfer of powers" of a group of peopl e(workers) to another group (i .e ., non-individualist )democracies, is just as important as the retention o f"individual freedom" .

Therefore, he said, "the societies which can bes tmeet the demand of their own people for equalhuman rights, equal freedom for their members t orealize their essential humanity, will be the ones tha tsurvive . . . in the world from now on, power andinfluence will depend on moral advantage . . . we in

the West will decline in power unless we can discar dour possessive market morality . "

Now, Macpherson is often labelled an academicMarxist, which means he sees political theory andstructures as not only related to but flowing ou tof economic organization, and that he sees thehistory of politics as the history of attempts by socia lclasses to gain or retain control over the resources ofa community .

For one with such an outlook, it might seem a littl eidealistic to speak of "moral advantage", ratherthan differences in economic systems themselves, a sthe coming thing in international relations — th emotivating factor behind people's choice of onepolitical alternative over another .

And it may be a realization of this which prompt sMacpherson to come somewhat back to reality, i nthe farm of the participatory structures he held ou tlast week as "an emergent model" of liberaldemocracy .

In his first three lectures, Macpherson gave agenerally excellent and cohesive description of thehistory of democracy from the time James Mill, i nthe early 19th century, advocated universal manhoo dsuffrage as the political logical conclusion of the freeenterprise system .

In his view, the early liberal democrats, con -temporaries of Mill, maintained that each humanbeing if left to his own devices would according tohis own interests, which naturally conflicted wit hthose of each other human being . Since government swere composed of humans, they would naturally ac tthe same way, and only the vote could protect theindividual from government .

These theorists managed to convince themselvesthat the working class would follow the lead of th eeconomically dominant commercial interests inexercising their franchise, and this pose no threat t othe social order .

Mill's son, John Stuart Mill, and his followers ,who included Woodrow Wilson and the educator Joh nDewey, witnessed the extra-parliamentary working -class activity which took centre stage in the middl eand the latter half of the 19th century . They wereafraid the working class would attain political powe relectorally and introduce "class legislation"detrimental to the interests of some . Thus they ad-vocated a weighted vote system whereby theeducated person's vote would be worth more thanthat of the uneducated .

They also saw democracy as not only a politicalsystem to protect the individual from government ,but a moral system for the individual's im-provement. The uneducated would hopefully bemotivated to improve themselves, led by the carrot-on-a-stick of the vote. The logical flaw here was tha tthe lower classes knew their views would neverprevail, and thus would lose interest in the politica lprocess .

"Third, there is growing doubt about the ability ofthe liberal state to meet consumer demands . Thesystem will either have to spread goods more widel yor it will break down . This may be enough to give us abreakout from the vicious circle . "

It is rudimentary consciousness that ha sproduced the neighborhood and communit yassociation, and the moves for control of decision -making in the workplace . Macpherson sees the latte ras more effective because it is not merely a single-issue organization . (He referred only in passing tothe fact that workers' control has not been the issu ein Canada that it has been in Europe, and moreelaboration on this point would have been welcome . )

The advantages of all this are twofold . "Peopl eare getting experience in decision-making in area swhere their concern is more immediately felt an dseen than in any other area of their life . Also they ar eparticipating as producers, not as consumers .They're not doing this to get a higher wage, but tomake production more meaningful .

This, Macpherson continued, "may sound asutopian as Mill . But it isn't, because capitalism i snow in a more unstable position. It may have tochange its spots . "

Macpherson admitted that at this point he is mor econcerned with how we get to participator ydemocracy than what it looks like when we get it . Butwhen he discusses how to get there, his logic seems t obreak down .

How can we be sure that the change in con-sciousness, if such it is, will really produce fun-

damental societal changes? Does the ecologymovement really contain the seeds of the destructionof capitalism? Did the courageous StrathconaProperty Owners' and Tenants' Association, i nstopping the destruction of their neighborhood ,change the cosy relationship between the landdevelopers and city council, or leave behind them astructure that others in a similar predicament coulduse?

And how can we be sure that workers in control ofa factory (or students in control of a university, fo rthat matter) will not merely try to beat management(and other managements, or administrations) a ttheir own game? Is the attainment of consciousnes sas a producing collectivity really the be-all and end-all, or just the first step ?

Part of the answer lies in the French socialis tAndre Gorz's article, Workers' Control is More tha nJust That. Gorz agrees that the struggle fo rworkers' control is "a self-educational process" . Buthe adds : "Neither the workers' councils, nor thefactory or shop committees, nor the workers' powe rthey stand for can prevail unless the political powerof capitalism is broken; unless the capitalist stateitself is overthrown and the capitalist relations ofproduction and division of labor abolished . "

Gorz goes on to say that true workers' contro lorganizations "cannot coexist for long with th epower of capitalist management and of the capitalis tstate." If the fight "is not carried foward by politica lvision and organization, if it does not transcend itsel finto a generalized all-out offensive for a completel ynew society, then the organs of workers' power orworkers' control must inevitably degenerate . "

On the question of community control, Mar-jaleena Repo in The Fallacy of Community Contro lpoints out that organization around communityissues, while not unprogressive per se, acts just a sMacpherson sees the party system does by blurrin gclass distinctions which in fact should be emphasize dso the class struggle can come to the fore .

And we students know that our own involvemen taround issues such as representation on universit ysenates, while it has perhaps made us more con-scious of our own individual and collective politicalpotential, really could never have hoped in itself t obring about any basic societal change .

Macpherson, at the end of his last lecture ,acknowledged that the "emergent model of par-ticipatory democracy" will not be reached "until w ehave reduced social inequality and fundamentall ychanged the relations between labor and capital .

"Because," he said, "capitalism creates clas sdivision, and workers' control or the welfare stat ewon't do the job . "

We are entitled to ask what will do the job. Theclassic Marxist response would be a revolutionaryworking-class political organization . Macpherson' scommitment to the Marxist view of history seems t ofall short of this . Of course he is under no obligationto answer in this way the dilemma he laid out befor eus last week . But there are obviously a lot of peopl ewho are anxious to get on with the job, and they wil lfind themselves forced to answer it in one way oranother . For many of them, organizing on a classbasis aimed at the conquest of political power wil lseem the only logical and practical way of getting a ta structure by means of which that power is used topit class against class .

Gov't urged to stop cliff erosio nBy STEVE BROW N

The UBC Alumni Associatio nintends to request provincia lgovernment action to stop th eerosion of the Point GreyCliffs, says communicationsdirector Clive Cocking .

Unless action is soon taken ,Cecil Green Park and otherbuildings in the area of th ecliffs will be sliding intothe sea, Cocking said in a pres srelease .Cocking says the

association's cliff erosio ncommittee have requested ameeting with` provincia lresources minister BobWilliams to discuss a proposedplan to stop the erosion .

The association believesbecause public buildings andpublic lands are at stake, it i sthe responsibility of th eprovincial government t ocover the estimated $250,000cost of the proposed operation ,Cocking says .

The solution to the erosionproblem, devised by theengineering firm of Swa nWooster Ltd ., would effectivel ystop the erosion along 3,700 feetof the most seriousl ythreatened section of the cliffs ,says Cocking .

The Swan Wooster pla nwould create a new beachabove high water elevatio nwhich would protect the base of

the cliffs from further erosion .Sand fill would be dredged

from the nearby offshore areaand covered with a three foo tlayer of course pit-run gravel .

The minimum width of thefill would be 30 feet, extendingto a maximum of 85 feet at themost critical point .

The fill would protect thecliffs from further wave actionand allow slide material toaccumulate on the beach an dthe cliffs to stabilize .

Once the project is com-pleted, the action of the wave swould gradually "landscape "the area Into a natural beach .The sea would carry sand an ddriftwood up onto the beac hmaking it again a pleasantnatural area, says Cocking .

Unlike earlier proposals, noprovision is made for a roa dalong the beach . This had beena source of contoversy .

Cocking says the AlumniAssociation feels that thisproposal is the best and mosteconomical plan available t oprotect the cliffs from furthererosion and to perserve towerbeach for recreation .

The main cause of theerosion is the wave action ofthe ocean at high tide . Thisaction undermines the sandcliffs which then slough intothe beach to be also sweptaway by wave action .

The undermining effect o fsurface and subsurfacedrainage water also con -tributes to the erosion process .

The association feels that i tthe sand and gravel fill projectis not undertaken soon, anotherslide may occur of theproportions of the one ofJanuary 1935 .

Guelph council disband sgathered less than hal fThomas' votes, was declaredelected. He immediately urge ddissolution of the CCP .

Skilman managed to staveoff a threatened withdrawal b ythe Ontario Veterinary College(part of U of G), but thecolleges of physical sciences ,biological sciences, and socialsciences were also rumored tobe ready to withdraw from theCCP .

Under Skilman's directionthe CCP voted to dissolve andestablish a six-membersteering committee to draft anew constitution and ad-minister the CCP's prio rcommittments .

The CCP was formed aboutthree years ago after thecollapse of the University ofGuelph Student Union Council .Union Council fell apart whenit tried to become an in-corporated body . Amid ad -ministration pressure againstsome radicalism on thecouncil, the provincia lgovernment refused to allowcompulsory fees collected .With fees voluntary, UnionCouncil lost its financial bases ,and after trying to stay alive ,finally collapsed .

Gov't cuts welfareREGINA (CUP) — About 30 women students at th e

University of Saskatchewan Campus have been cut off welfarebenefits because they are taking the wrong courses .

The women, mostly heads of single parent families, wer e-receiving payments from the Saskatchewan department o fsocial services for baby-sitting and transportation costs whil eattending university .

But provincial policy offers the subsidy only to student senrolled in a two-year education course or a nursing program o fsimilar duration .

A department official said the subsidy covers teache rtraining "since it is only a two-year course and provides animmediate and concrete vocational goal . '

"It is felt that it is not the function of the department ofsocial services to sponsor clients for a university education .Persons with a university education tend to be in a preferredposition and it is not intended that the department of socia lservices place clients in a preferred position . . . "

Most teaching positions now open require a four-year B.Eddegree, thus minimizing the value of the two-year course . Butthe government will not subsidize a student in a degreeprogram .

GUELPH (CUP) — Thestudent council at theUniversity of Guelph has voteditself out of existence andestablished a steering com-mittee to form a new body .

The move was just the lates tin the bizarre series of eventswhich has marked the histor yof student unionism on thecentral Ontario campus .

The council really wasn't acouncil at all, but a collectionof college student counci lrepresentatives who cam etogether to form the Com -

mittee of College Presidents a tthe central university level . Al lCCP members were appointedby local college councils . Onlythe CCP chairman was directlyelected by the students, but h ehad no vote on the CCP .

Dissolution of the CC Pfollowed elections for thechairmanship, which weremarred by irregularities .

Odette Thomas, who won theelection, was previousl ydisqualified for spending morethan the $200 permitted by CCPregulations . Tom Skilman, who

OFS demo TuesdayTORONTO (CUP) — The Ontario Federation of Students '

demonstration against the provincial government is apparentl yon, and is scheduled for Tuesday, the same day the Ontari oLegislature opens for another session .

The demonstration will publicize the OFS campaign agains tthe provincial government's tuition fee increases and its cut-back in student awards .

The OFS earlier this week received the supportiof theOntario Federation of Labor's annual convention .

The fate of the demonstration was in some doubt for awhil ebecause several OFS members balked at the idea and refused t ohelp organize it . The University of Toronto students council has 're-affirmed an earlier decision not to participate in the action .

But U of T's Victoria College student council, which belongsto OFS as a separate member, is trying to organize support o nthe U of T campus along with other student groups . The campusis just a block away from the main scene of the demonstratio n— the Queen's Park Legislative buildings .

Supportive demonstration are planned in other Ontari ocities the same day .

Last month Ontario students voted to withdraw their secon dterm fees instalment if negotiations with the government ,designed to eliminate its cutbacks, prove unsuccessful .

Letterssumeably the faculty can equest achange . Section 63 of the actsays : "The powers and duties of afaculty are (a) to make rules andregulations governing its proceed-ings, including the determining o fthe quorum necessary for thetransaction of business ; (b) sub-ject to the provisions of this ac tand to the approval of the senate ,to make regulations and rules fo rthe government, direction andmanagement of the faculty an dthe affairs and business thereof; "

Secondly, I'm puzzled by thedifficulty we're encountering i nmerely getting this item on theagenda so that faculty memberscan see it's going to be discussed .Obviously, we would and aretalking to sympathetic facult ywho could make motions at tha tmeeting and discuss the issues. Wewould also be prepared to come inthe event that the faculty mem-bers might feel we should b e

From page 5anything which cannot be prove nby scientific inquiry based on th ehuman physical senses ; that myteen-age experiences with Go dwere but psychologica lphenomena .

And then one day I saw a nangel . Not in vision like thoseappearing to some men of God i nthe Bible . Then you and I woul dhave shouted, "Hallucination !Psychological illusion ." God kne wthat. The angel which appeared tome was made of physical matter ;at least what I could see of it . Aflesh and blood angel! I gasped inamazement .

Where a year before there hadbeen nothing — no soul, noform . . . only a empty crib, ther ewas now a masterfully fashioned ,e xtremely complicated, living ,breathing, throbbing being — fa rtoo intricate and beautiful ; far to odelightful and inspiring ; with toogreat potential, and to oimpossible to ever be called amachine, or he product of purechance .

A person! I couldn't believ emy senses. A person fromnowhere — from nothing! Far tooimpossible to be called anythin gbut a miracle .

Beholding the loveliness andbeauty of His handiwork ;knowing that such order, andperceptive intelligence andloveliness are the work of anauthor (a personal author, becauseof the intensely personal nature o fthe creation), my doubts melted .With my physical senses I beheld !Beauty of life, or form, o fcomplexity, and beauty o fcharacter. Contentment, where Ihad none ; innocence, where I wassurrounded and permeated wit hguilt .

Yes, the physical senses can becalled upon to testify. Not tha tthis testimony is the only proofwe may lean upon. After all ,science cannot claim to be th eonly authority on every subject ,because it is dependent, and it i sbased on he human physicalsenses, which operate within avery limited spectrum.

I considered the Bible . Mentestified of God's power aswitnessed by them, and forfeite dtheir very lives for it . And woul dmen give up their lives to back upan idle tale ?

Later, at three years she is stillan angel. She sleeps, but she hear sme near her bed, and, just as I' mthinking she's fast asleep, sh ebreaks into a smile, a sleepy smile,even though she's been sleepingfour hours already . She utters acouple of words to me, then isgone .

One night last month I aske dGod to reveal Himself to me ; tospeak to me concerning a deepl ydistressing problem. At three inthe morning, I was awakened b ylittle arms on my face . Laurie hadleft her bedroom and had come t o

Kenny !An open letter to arts dean DougKenny :

You have asked via Don Soule ,for a detailed description of wha tit is we want. Let me review theevents as I see them. At the las tfaculty of arts meeting we hande dout a leaflet in which we statedthat we believed that student sshould be involved in decision sabout the nature and quality o ftheir education . We asked facultymembers to think about the ide aof having student participation a tfaculty meetings in order to giv estudents an effective voice i ndecisions about course content,teaching, degree requirements ,

Doug's mu g

new programmes and so on . Westated that we would hope to havethis question on the agenda forthe next meeting at which time i twould be proper for a facultymember to introduce motions onthe subject . We suggested apossible motion which would givevoting rights to the seven student spresently on student/facultycommittees and would also estab-lish a committee to determin ehow many more students shoul dbe granted voting rights at facult ymeetings . I know that you rec-eived one of these leaflets .

Next, Vicki Obedkoff spoke toSoule about placing this item o nthe agenda. He told her that ther emight be some problem with theUniversities Act but said he woul dcheck into the obstacles in ou rway. He said to come back onMonday, Nov. 6 .

On Monday, Vicki and I bot hwent to see Soule . He said tha taccording to you, the Universitie sAct does prohibit students fro mparticipating in faculty meetings .He suggested that we go to th esenate committee which has sup-posedly been investigating studen tparticipation . I pointed out tha tthe committee has done nothingfor two years and what we woul dlike is a statement from facult ywhich supports the notion o fstudent participation . This state-ment of support which couldcontain the details of our pro-posed motion, could be sent t osenate as well as to the ne wminister of education . Therefore, 11 0we would still want to have this e''4item put on the agenda for thenext faculty meeting . Well, obvi-ously Soule had not checked intothe obstacles too closely as hesuggested there might be mor etechnical difficulties though hecouldn't tell us exactly what the ymight be . He would have to speakto you again, he said, and weshould phone him back .

So, on Tuesday I did phon eSoule who said that he's spoke nto you. We were to send you aletter describing what it is wewant and then make an appoint-ment to come and talk to youabout the contents of our letter .

By this time, I'm feeling tha tthings are getting unnecessarilycomplicated and that we are bein gdeliberately put off. A couple ofthings puzzle me . First, I've got acopy of the Universities Act infront of me and I can't see whereit says students are prohibitedfrom faculty meetings. It doe ssay, section 26 : "There shall besuch faculties of each university a smay be constituted by the boar dand the senate, nd each dean of afaculty shall be chairman of th efaculty of which he is the dean ."If the senate has prohibitedstudent participation, then pre -

allowed to speak to he question . Ithink we made it quite clear toSoule that right now we'd like t oget in on the agenda so I wa sconfused when he said you didn' tknow what we wanted and w eshould send you a letter . I hardlysee how you can not know sinceyou've seen our leaflet and Soulehas talked to us and then to youat least two times. I interpret ou rdifficulty as an indication of you rlack of sympathy if not outrigh topposition to our even raising thi sissue . If someone wants to raise anissue at or put a request t ostudent council, it is hardly thisdifficult . Either there's a proble mof efficiency, or you're bein gdeliberately obstructionist . At anyrate, we've got an appointmen twith you on Thursday at 11 a .m.Until then,
