‘Don’t panicv-Doug Kenny By NANCY CAMPBELL

UBC administration president Doug Kenny says students should not panic as a result of recent news stories saying tuition fees could double soon as a result of federal funding cutbacks.

‘‘I wouldn’t push any panic but- tons at this point,” Kenny said. “From an internal university view- point I can’t see us doubling tuition fees overnight.”

And reports that the federal government is considering cutting over

$1 billion in funding to post-secondary education have been denied by federal treasury board president Donald Johnston.

He said reports that the federal government would abolish $1.4 billion in cash transfer through the Established Program Funding (EPF) plan are nothing but “media speculation. ” ’

“I don’t think any member of the cabinet made any statement to that effect,” he said. But Johnston did not categorically deny that there

would be no reduction in cash transfers for post-secondary education.

Spokespersons from both the education and universities ministries said the provincial government “was fairly sure the federal government will be negotiating to reduce its share” in funding, but said negotiations will not commence for at least another month and that the current financing contract will not expire until April 1982.

“NO one knows for sure if the

IiPF is going to be dropped but the probability of the fedleral government changing the plan during negotiations to reduce their funding is high,” said Dean Goard, provincial director of university programs.

B.C. currently receives $335 million in cash transfers and tax credits under the EPF - almclst two-thirds of the total provincial post-secondary revenue. Kenny and the govern- rnent spokespersons agree that a funding shortfall will have to be rnadi: up by the provincial government and students.

Kenny doubted that the federal government would remove its funding “instantly.” He fleels the gov- r:rnment has two motives behind the rumored move: recognition and the constitution.

“Few people are aware of the federal government’s massive par-

search Council, and studentassist- ance programs.

“I t wouM be a catastrophe if people acted silly about this but I don’t think they will,” he said. “ I think the provinces can be persuad- ed to pick up the funding if the federal government pulls out.

“But I can’t see us socking it to the students (in terms of tuition increases) other than inflationary costs.”

But Goard did not share Kenny’s view. “The EPF could dramatically affect tuition fee schedules,” he said, adding that B.C. tuition fees are the lowest in the country, next to Quebec’s.

Generally the government spokespersons were noncommittal about the concerns, tactics and statistics the provincial government will take to the bargaining table.

Students go blank at polls

A lot of students bhnked out at Alma Mater Society executive election time.

Only 2,854 voters out of an eligible 30,000 cast ballots and a lot of those were left blank. There was also a high number of spoiled ballots.

Marlea Haugen, elected last year as vice president, climbed up in the world of student politics to attain the AMS presidential seat. She collected 11,668 votes while platypus candidate Kevin Twa, her only competitor, pulled in 853.

Peter Mitchell is the new vice president with 1,475 votes. The only other contestant. platypus Charles Menzies, had 908 supporters.

Bill Maslechko was away ahead in the director of administration race with 1.733. Stephen Henderson drew 528 votes, Twa collected 266 and Alexander Fedyk got only 89 votes.

Jane Loftus will be in charge of AMS finance. She got 1,436 votes while Rob Swiniarski drew 861 and Menzies got 377.

James Hollis will take the external affairs seat on the strength of 1,269 votes. Chris Fulker got 693 and Twa got 414.

The current AMS Iexecutive will last only one more student council meeting and then the newcomers will take over.

There was a 78 per cent turnout increase over last year, but the turnout was still dismally low. Twelve per cent of the ballots cast were spoiled.

Some students said they did not vote because there were no worthwhile candidates, while others said the campaining was not publicized enough.

Greg Mulvey, arts 3, said the voting should have lasted an entire week. Linda MacDonald, science 2, said she did not vote because she knew little of the candidates and is not planning to return to UBC next year.

Jeremy Thornburg, arts 5 , said he was “disenchanted with the campus political system.”

The polls were open1 Thursday and Friday.

Beach committee backs new berm By STEVE McCLURE

Environmentalists and enginers have finally found common ground on Wreck Beach.

Plans for an erosioncontrolling sand and rock barrier on the beach met with the approval Monday of the UBC erosion control advisory committee, which is made up of representatives from the Wreck Beach committee, Swan Wooster,

an engineering firm, and the UBC physical plant.

The plan is a compromise between Swan Wooster and Seattle civil engineer Wolf Bauer, whose ,original scheme had been favored by the Wreck Beach committee.

It called for a series of low-level earth berms to be constructed along the beach between two Second

b World War gun towers, while the

”- - ~- - Swan Wooster proposal called for a more high-profile berm to be constructed closer to the southern gun tower.

Instead, one berm will be constructed in the location chosen by Swan Wooster but will include fea- tures recommended by Bauer such as “drift sills,” sand banks covered with dune grass that will be partially covered at high tide.

”BLEED FOR ME,“ cries ecstatic nurse as she reaches down, slowly, carefully, to pump blood from unsuspec- ting student. He complies, unthinking, his face a careful mask because he doesn’t want to commit himself. More sensitive people can help accident victims and those undergoing surgery by pouring out their emotions and especially their blood on second floor of SUB until Friday. Get over there or be really square.

McGill threatens students MONTREAL (CUP) - Follow-

ing a precedent set by Simon Fraser University, the McGill University senate has proposed a student dis- cipline code which could seriously limit student activism on campus.

Covering academic as well as non-academic matters, the code’s provisions include:

0 no student shall :‘without per- ’ mission or just cause, knowingly enter or remain in any university building, facility, room or office, including parking lots, athletic fields and Campus areas;”

0 no student shall “use words in a situation of clear and imminent anger which incite others to behav- ior that violates any article of this section.”

At its meeting Jan. 28 the senate said the purposc of the new code will be to “centralize disciplinary decision-making in one university body” and “to warn the students in terms that are clear and precise of the conduct that will give rise to disciplinary action.” The code was tabled until the next senate meeting in February.

Students are protesting the senate’s proposal.

“The university is setting up a kangaroo court,” said Lawrence McDougall, board of governors representative to the senate.

“I’m very upset that we should

Tenders for construction of the term will be accepted after Feb. 16. Work is anticipated to ltake a month and will take place in April, said Stuart Lefeaw, physical plant pro- j ec t manager.

“Swan Wooster’s proposal is fairly close to mine in )terms of ma- terial,” said Bauer. “Hut we’re going to have to do some juggling between recreation and (erosion con- t.rol,” he added.

Swan Wooster engineer Ken Downey is pleased with the compromise also. “I think it’s safe to say Chat this is half way between our’s and Bluer’s proposal,” he said.

But both Bauer and Swan Wooster would like to see berms ex- tending all along the beach between tlhe two gun towers.

“You can’t just take a beach out of context,” said Bauer. “This is just a demonstration phase in the area where there is the greatest amount of undercuttin,g,” he said.

The first phase of the project will cost about $SOO,OOO. Total cost of all three phases would be about $2 million said Lefeaux.

“If we had $2 million now we’d slart where Bauer wants,” said Le- feaux. Bauer had originally proposed starting construction at the northern end of the beach.

A proposal to dump sand from the Fraser River on the portion of the beach south of the southern gun tower met with stiff opposition from members of the Wreck Beach committee however.

” ” - - -

The federal department of public works has offered the use of sand from dredging operations in the Fraser’s north arm for erosion control on Wreck Beach, but needs ad- vance notice of plans for the beach so it can modify its dredging equip- ment, a spokesperson from the department said Monday.

“We’re looking at the possibility of increasing our dredging power so the beach area can be reached,” he said.

But Wreck Beach Committee members were concerned that such a move could upset the Swan Wooster-Bauer proposal and cause the same sort of environmental damage that a previous dumping of dredged sand caused in the mid-1970s.

Totem council approves rent

Despite lack of any commitment that renovations will actually take place, the Totem Park residents council approved Friday a 7.4 per cent rent increase for renovations.

The council approved an overall 17.9 per cent increase, which includes a 1O,.S per cent allowance :for inflation. Gage tower, Place Vanier and Totem ha.ve now all agreed to the increases, but only the Gage residents have writ- ten guarantees the proposed renovations will take place. The result of Fri- day’s vote at Totem 21 to IS in favor of accepting the increase.

The housing department has offered no firm commitment on what renovations, if any, will be done at Totem and Vanier. It is technically possible the renovation money will be spent on changes not approved by the residents.

Under the current protposal, renovation money will be placed i n a common pool. The renovations will probably take place at one residence each year, beginning with Totem this summer, according to Shayne Boyd, external vice-president of the Gage community council. But Boyd added Gage residents will push for some renovations this year.

Renovations to Totem will be initially focused on Nootka house. The changes will be based on the renovations made last summer to Dene tiouse, which included a large central lounge and orovisions to alleviate noise

KELOWNA (CUP) - Okanagan College students received a predictable lack of support from their college board last week when they asked that students be given a vote on the board. No board member would officially propose a mo-

tion on behalf of the students, effectively stopping de- bate on the issue.

Delegates from all three college student associations proposed a motion advocating changes to a provincial statute prohibiting students from voting on college boards. Their suggested motion also called on the board to lobby the education ministry to make the change.

“By not seriously discussing the issue, they showed their true colors.” said Phil Link, one of the student delegates. “They consider themselves to be the ulti- mate governing authority of the college. They see students voting on the board, no matter how rightfully, as a possible threat to that authority.”

The board chastized the students for-no:t following appropriate channels before approaching the board and referred the matter t o a board subcommittee which does not meet until mid-March.

Link said college students are denied the right of taking part in deciding the future of their education, while university students have that right. That is “blat- ant discrimination,” he said.

“The board is incapable of seeing the total issues. They are too concerned with maintaining the status quo rather than considering what is best ,for education.”

Earlier this academic year, Capilano College’s student society pulled their non-voting representative from their college’s board to protest their lack of voting rights.

Students at Vancouver Vocational Institute have also voted to demand voting rights on their board.

rector Robert -Gr-ant. “We don’t think the union will fall apart.”

Porter said the strike vote loss is at least partly the result of negative balloting by non-union members, who are by law permitted to vote on the issue.

“Some non-members were going against a union they didn’t like,” said Porter, “(but) we are broad- minded enough to accept the fact that ‘no-voters’ knew what they were doing. ”

The TAU and the administration will be meeting with a mediator on Feb. 9, but Porter says the union will not be able to press any additional demands.

Time to study Don‘t panic. That’s the word from administra- communitv and the Drovince a t larae on what

tion president Doug Kenny and not for the first time The Ubyssey supports his advice.

But there‘s a big difference between panicking and doing nothing at all, and the latter seems to be the attitude of the provincial government towards the upcoming negotiations with the federal government for a $335 million slice of the pie.

That’s part of a $3 billion funding program that might get axed and will certainly be cut before

April 1982 when the Established Programs Finan- cing scheme comes to an end.

It‘s comforting to know Kenny is not in favor of students bearing the brunt of the shortfall when funding to B.C. and the rest of the provinces is reduced.

But it is disturbing fhat the provincial government, which will certainly have to pick up most, if not all, the .shortfall, is not preparing for what will certainly be a tough session of talks.

Whether it likes it or not, the government has a responsibility and a mandate to provide, among other things, an accessible and’ high- quality education system to B.C. citizens. The question is, how can it be provided if the government is not prepared to develop studies, gather statistics and invite comment from the academic

kind and how many cuts can be inflkted before education is nothing but a joke?

Negotiations begin in almost a month, yet McGeer and Smith appear to be perfectly com- placent about the dreadful lack of information on the people they serve. UBC has been cut back $2.1 million this year, and Kenny says the long slide in mediocrity cannot be held off much longer if these cuts continue.

The federal government wants an easy way out of its deficit. It is a lot easier to say no to people who have no evidence to back their requests for more money than to try and justify sabotag: ing the Canadian education system if studies ex- ist to prove that cutbacks will jeopardize research, enrolment, basic services and the quality of education.

Kenny supports these studies. The B.C. Students Federation supports them. So does the National Union of Students. And so do several student councils throughout B.C.

It is not too much to ask that the UBC board of governors support Kenny and the thousands of students at UBC concerned about tuition to pressure the provincial government into carrying out these studies before time runs out for quality education in B.C.

As it is, we may be tob late.

Pro corrects goofs As an expert on the use of halluc- muscaria was used to produce truth

inogens for religious purposes by serum, it is a well document fact the ancient Europeans I would like that the CIA was made aware of to bring to your readers’ attention hallucinogens by one of Wasson’s certain errors which appeared in the close associates. article On the Mesoamerican Mush- room Trail with R. Gordon Wasson by Charles Campbell.

The first problem is that Camp- bell does not sufficiently distinguish between the psilocybin mushrooms and the mushroom Amanita muscaria. Psilocybin mushrooms con- tain psilocybin as their psychoactive factor; Amanita muscaria contains ibotenic acid; the effects of these drugs are quite different. A vast majority of the people I have talked to found their experiences with Am- anita muscaria to be unpleasant in the extreme.

A second major problem with Campbell’s article is his rather com- plete mistatement of R. G . Wasson’s life and work. Wasson’s identification of soma as Amanita muscaria was first put forth in his book, Russia, Mushrooms and His- tory, published in 1926. R. G . Wasson was president of Morgan Guarantee Trust (as in J. P. Mor- gan), one of the world’s most powerful financial institutions and reputedly a front for British intelligence operations during his tenure as president through the years of the Second World War. Whatever the truth of rumors that Amanita

Wasson also vacillates between claiming that John Allegro (author of The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross) either stole his work or does not know what he is talking about. Allegro is one of the world’s top semetic scholars and while his work is basically at error it is no worse than Wasson’s in many respects. Campbell has even misstated Alle- gro’s hypothesis.

Furthermore, the hypothesis that the active factor in the ritual bever- age used at Eleusis was lysergic acid amide was first developed by Hoff- man, the discoverer of LSD. Was- son had realized years earlier that the cult at Eleusis had involved the use of hallucinogens, but the spe- cific identification of the hallucino- gen is Hoffman’s alone.

In conclusion, I’d like to suggest that perhaps what we are lacking is not reverence towards hallucinogens but rather hard scientific knowledge about their use by different peoples at different times. I hope that some day Campbell will be able to write something that will help to solve this problem and I wish him the best of luck.

What, us goof? Once again The Ubyssey has

shown us the stuff of which it is made - irresponsible and undocu- mented reporting. The item under Hot News that Fits in the Tuesday, Jan. 30 (sic) issue of your newspaper incorrectly claims that Jane Loftus supports investment in Chile. We assume that you are bas- ing your story on the article in the Jan. 31 edition of the Financial Post. if you had done your job and opened your eyes beyond looking at the picture of Jane on the front page you would have discovered that at no point in the article was she quoted as saying “Invest in Chile.” In fact, nobody was quoted as saying “invest in Chile.”

Since someone has to set the record straight, let us do your job for you. Jane went to Queen’s Univer- sity as part of the UBC team in the inter-collegiate business competition sponsored by the Financial Post. There were four separate components of the team: two of which were the case team and the debating team. Jane was on the debating team and had absolutely nothing to do with the case team which dealt with the topic of Nor- anda Mines investing in Chile.

The seriousness of your innuen- dos is compounded by the fact that Jane is a candidate for the position of AMS director of finance. Your libellous publication was most un- timely and in contravention of election guidelines.

In future, we hope you get your facts straight before you print a story. We expect you to print a re- traction of the story an apology to Jane in Tuesday’s newspaper.

SUB plans ignore disabled Try for a moment to consider

what a disabled person must go through in order to use the facilities at SUB.

It is possible to only enter the building from one side. After one does get inside one encounters a row of doors that can prove to be quite an obstacle to get through. Having accomplished this, one then decides that they would like to go up to the second floor in order to visit a club or the AMs offices.

Upon getting off the elevator (in a back hallway) one has to go through an entranceway where the door opens toward the inside of the hallway making it awkward to gain access to the main part of the floor.

After all this one might well be driven to drink and so decides to go down to the student pub for a few beers. Upon arrival one discovers there is no practical entranceway made for disabled people. The doorman is friendly of course, and with the help of a few waiters car- ries a student and wheelchair into the pub. A few brews later nature calls and so off one goes to the washroom only to discover there are no facilities for disabled persons there.

At this point one might well de- cide to leave SUB as quite under- standably one can only put up with so much on any one day. When

leaving the building one then decides to check the A M s bulletin boards to see how his or her representatives are, responding to the need of students. One then discovers there are plans under way to ren- ovate SUB. The plans do seem to have some good ideas but there seems to have been no considera- tion whatsoever for the problems of disabled students.

Those of us who are able to move around easily enough in buildings all too often forget the problems en- countered by the many students who are forced to spend frustrating moments in order to enjoy the same benefits other students do. It would seem that if SUB is to be renovated then it would be an ideal time to de-

sign the building in such a way that all students could make use of it.

I am in favor of SUB being renovated though I hope that some thought will go into the renovations. Such foresight will not only be appreciated by many people on campus, but it will more than likely save the need for future renovations that will only cost more. It seems to me that we may as well try to do it right the first time.

It would be an embarrassment to undergo a major renovation of SUB in the year the United Nations declared the “Year of the Disabled Person” and not even consider the person.

dustrial park at UBC c a l l s for the development of six per cent of the endowment lands. In a city where high land prices have made it very difficult to find housing, this plan should be re-evaluated.

A more appropriate use for this land would be to provide some of the needed middle income and student housing. The remaining land should be set aside as parkland. The industrial park could be located in an area more economically depress- ed than Vancouver where it would add to the local economy.

new entrants than to exclude degree holders.

I resent this imposition as an in- sult against the quality of my present degree. Surely the administration of UBC recognizes that the other B.C. universities are at the present time using English as their primary language.

The examination is an absurd ex- pectation as I have not only received my degree from the University of Victoria two years ago, but I have also completed the equivalent UVic English course I would be required to take if by chance I fail this examination. Furthermore, the possibility of failing :such a trivial exam could result in UBC’s childish be- havior of withholding my Bachelor of Social Work degree this year.

The examination is a ridiculous waste of time for any student in my position. It is a glaring example of bureaucratic triviality to impinge upon students so that UBC may re- ceive such a meager clerical benefit.

T'Birds meet mixed puck success The UBC Thunderbirds split two

home hockey games with top-rank- ed University of Calgary Dinosaurs this weekend.

The Dinos got off to a slow start in the first period on Friday, but totally dominated play in the second period as they managed to hold on for a 5-3 victory.

Saturday night the 'Birds got off to a fast start scoring four early goals, and went on to win the match

Both teams were a bit sloppy in the first period in the first game, but after a good second period for the Dinos, Calgary was out in front 3-1.

Din0 Sita scored a power play goal early in the third period and Rob Parent tied the game when he picked up a rebound in front of the Dino's goal and put it past Jerry Farwell.

A minute later Rick Laycock scored the winning goal for Calgary on a deflection. Cal Halasz put the icing on the cake with a goal three minutes from the end of the game as Calgary won 5-3.

Earlier in the game, Calgary had opened the scoring on a goal from Darren Halasz. Jim McLaughlin made it 1-1 when his wrist shot from the left face-off circle eluded Din0 goalie Farwell.

Trevor Erhardt gave Calgary the lead after the first period when he beat a 'Bird defenceman and then pulled Paterson out of the net and slid the puck in on his backhand. Cal Halasz got his first of two goals in the second period.

Saturday night, both teams were tied at the end of the first period of play, but in the last seconds of the second period Bill Holowaty gave UBC a 6-5 lead.

Calgary's Erhardt tied things up halfway through the period, and at that point Calgary had the momen- tum. But Jim Mclaughlin scored the winning goal for UBC on a break- away and from then on UBC took command.

Bill Holowaty scored the assur- ance goal for the 'Birds when he picked up a pass in front of the Cal- gary goal and then lifted the puck up high into the net as UBC won

Trevor Erhardt led the scoring for Calgary with two goals and Holowaty led the "Birds with two goals and three assists.

8-6.

8-6.

B'ballers come back for win

The Thunderbird basketball team travelled to Edmonton on the weekend and came away with a win and a frustrating loss. On Friday night the 'Birdmen defeated the Univer- sity of Alberta Golden Bears 66-60 and then turned around Saturday and lost to the same team 65-64.

The loss was a "touch and go af- fair" according to 'Bird coach Peter Mullins. He said UBC could have taken a win at the end but shooting from the foul line was poor. Although the 'Birds were 10 for 14 in foul shooting, three of those misses occurred in the crucial final minutes.

Bob Forsyth and Brad Findlay were the top 'Bird scorers with 14 points each while Jeff Goukley led the Bears with 18.

The split leaves the 'Birds with a 5-7 record in the Canada West Ath- letic Association. This means the UBC has a lot of ground to make up if it is to catch Saskatchewan, who are 8-4, for the last playoff spot.

The first step in that direction is this weekend when UBC hosts the University of Victoria Vikings. The Vikings are the league leaders with a 9-3 record and the last time these two teams played they split.

SUB RENOVATIONS

SUB COURTYARD When the Student Union Building was constructed a large outdoor area on the second floor was initially designed for an outdoor courtyard. However, due to changes in fire regula- tions, this area now must remain closed until appropriately renovated.

In order to make this space conform, three stairways down to the lower floor must be constructed. Two of these would be strictly for emergency exits, while one would be for access to the second floor area from the main concourse.

The present courtyard would be roofed over, partially with glass to provide a skylight effect. The eastern half of the courtyard would be removed, exposing the main concourse to a two floor high ceiling with a skylight roof.

The other half of the courtyard would be renovated into a conversation lounge. The new conversation area would serve as a non-alcoholic social area during the day. It would offer a variety of coffees and other 'coffee-house' style goods. The area could be licensed for special occasions by student groups for beer gardens, etc. Eight new club offices would be constructed facing west onto the second floor cor- ridor, thereby enabling many more clubs to obtain adequate office space.

Much of the cost of this project is upgrading the area to f ire standards. These modifications have already been approved by the provincial fire marshal.

SUB PLAZA MALL When SUB was built a large underground space between SUB and the present site of the Aquatic Centre was left for future development. To use this space, a proper floor must be laid, heat, light and mechanical services put in, and exit-entrances to SUB and outside installed.

This would result in approximately 16,000 sqyare feet that would be used for photographic darkrooms and studios, meeting rooms, club offices and possibly a couple of retail shops relevant t o student needs. A t an estimated cost of $328,OOO for the basic upgrading. The cost of this space works out to approximately $22/sq. ft., substantially below the cost of building such a project from scratch today.

If you are interested in obtaining more details, concerning either project, please contact Bruce Armstrong, AMS President or Craig Brooks, Director of Administration.
