UBC council condemns CR TC · VANCOUVER [CUP]- The University of B.C. student council voted overwhelm­ingly March 12 to demand that the Canadian Radio, Television and Telecom­munications Commission (CRTC) hold a hearing to investigate charges of racism levelled against the CTV network .

The W5 program "The Campus Giveaway", aired on CTV last September, claimed one student in 10 in B.C. was a foreign student and persistently portrayed Chinese-Canadians as fo­reign students .

But statistics compiled for the show say 4.4 per cent of B.C. students are foreign, a member of a UBC group protesting the show told the council.

Phil Calvert of the UBC subcommittee of the ad hoc Chinese Benevolent As­sociation committee against W5 also showed council a

videotape of the program, stopping the tape several times to identify Canadians who were portrayed as foreign students . In every case the students were Chinese-Canadians .

''There are 85 medical students studying on visa in Canada, not 400 as W5 claimed . Sixty-six per cent of those are American," Calvert told the council.

W5 also said 10 to 30 per cent of a University of Toronto pharmacology class consisted of foreign students , yet U of T has no

visa students in the class whatsoever, Calvert said .

He added W5 had claimed there are 100,000 foreign students in Canada, but a letter to CTV from the president of the Association of Universities and Col­leges of Canada stated that there were only 50,000 foreign students in 1979. On(y 18,000 were at the

post-secondary level, the letter stated .

Meanwhile at Simon Fraser University, students there have circulated a petition asking people to condemn the W5 program . The petition also asks that the CTV give equal television time to the Chinese Canadian com­munity to rectify " damages committed by the pro­gram" .

So far the petition has collected 70,000 signatures from across Canada.

Student society president Les Brett received a call for ' her resignation at last Monday's multi-campus council meeting .

Rod Bergman, Surrey campus chairman, called for Les' resignation on constitutional grounds, specifically bylaws number 13 .6, 11.3 and 5.1 .

Bylaw 13 .6 states that "willful neglect, abusive­ness, or abrogation of this Constitution shall consti­tute one of the grounds for impeachment.''

Bergmann stated that Brett had been neglecting

her duties as presi especially when she supposed to have hel him arrange a Las V Night for the Su campus .

Brett also abused her powers during the same incident when she lied to Bergmann about a college board member's request about the same event .

Last Thursday a special committee of inquiry met at the New Westminster campu.s to make a recom­mendation to the multi­campus council before the end of last week .

Self-study on college completed

by Rob Guzyk Students at Douglas

College will be visited by members of an external :ommittee that will be here to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the college based , on a recently :ompleted self-study re­port.

The self-study report is the second one in the college' s history and is done every five years . According to Don McEa­chern , Director, Office of Institutional Analysis , the report is important for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the college and to serve as justification to the Minister of Educa­tion of the college's existence~

The 616 page report includes 751 recommenda­tions on how to improve the quality of education and

delivery of education at Douglas College .

The examining commit­tee will be interviewing as many people as possible involved with the report and will be talking to students as well.

McEachern sees positive improvements for Douglas College as a result of the report .

'' I believe very strong­ly, report will have a direct impact on the education experience here, " McEa­chern said, and added students would feel the effect of the report in the very near future .

McEachern cited the feasibility of lockers on the New Westminster campus as one recommendation .

DCSS treasurer Carolyn Steinson who sat on the self-study committee said the quality of education could improve as a result of cont'd on p. 2

That's probably not the first time that question has been asked of you, but what has your answer been? You know that in the job market today the skilled worker is the one who gets the job.

Engineers unhorsed and

Red Rag scragged MONTREAl [CUP]-Stu­dents and faculty at the University of B .C. may have seen the last of the annual lady Godiva ride and the Red Rag news­paper, two UBC engineer­ing student trademarks .

The engineering under­graduate society executive announced March 7 the Lady Godiva ride will not continue " in its present fc:-m". They also said EUS publications will become more professional .

The announcement sug­gested UBC Engineer, a publication modeled on professional journals, might be revived to replace the Red Rag, which has been attacked along with the Godiva ride in the past several years as sexist and insulting to women .

But at least one com­munity women's group remains skeptical that the EUS will make major changes .

Suzanne Perreault, a Women Against Violence Against Women project worker, said she personally feels the statement does not imply the Godiva ride

Former students of Community Colleges throughout the province will be the focus of an exhaustive research study to be conducted over the next several months .

The study, initiated by the British Columbia Mi­nistry of Education and conducted by B.C. Re­search, has the full support of all fourteen Community Colleges. Representatives from each of the colleges have been 1nvolved in the design and planning of the study.

The primary objectives of the study are to identify the influences on choice of program and institution, the educational objectives of the students and the reasons for discontinuation of their college study.

Over 5,000 former col­lege students, selected from students who were enrolled in Academic STudies during September 1978, will be sent an information sheet for com­pletion . The information sheet will be mailed during the third week of March . A final report from the study is expected at the end of June 1980.

will end . " I think it' s about time it

stopped . But it sure doesn ' t sound like they (the EUS) are going to stop the Lady Godiva rides ," she said .

The statement con-cerning the ride is ambiguous and suggests the ride will continue in another form , she added .

But Erich Vogt, UBC faculty and student affairs vice-president, said the announcement is a " major step forward" .

" I think they understood a change was needed. They' re trying to improve relations, " said Vogt.

But while Vogt admits the statement does not indicate the ride will stop he said he hopes it wi II. " I think it' s a healthy statement. It should be redirected . ' '

Vogt added there are "all kinds of questions as to what people find offensive about the ride," adding that the EUS executive will discuss the event with the university administration in the near future .

Racism is an ugly word . The word itself has connotations of bigotry and

ignorance, yet racism exists in Canada. Some Canadians like to think that racism does not

exist in Canada and many prove that our cities are examples of this belief. This is, essentially, false.

In Nazi Germany the Jews were singled out as the cause of Germany's woes . In the rural south of the United States the blacks were dumped on by poor white farmers who needed an explanation to justify their so-called superiority.

Now in the 1980's these movements are still with us . The government of South Africa calls itself "Christian Nationalists" and its former leader was held a pro-Nazi POW in Britain during World War Two. In the rural south the Ku Klux Klan are gaining popularity . And the sad and ironic point is that the American Civil Liberties Union is protecting their right to demonstrate. In Britain a powerful working-class assembly called skinheads seek their jollies by brutally attacking non-White immigrants .

These actions are not confined in these countries . They exist in Canada and they exist openly. Recently several East Indians demonstrated against a Vancouver cab company that allegedly made derogatory statements against their employees .

In our universities and colleges we should be learning that there is more to people and their customs, and that no one culture is so different that we cannot learn to respect it .

In accordance with the Rock against Racism chapters of Britain there are chapters in Toronto and Vancouver. Two of the largest and cosmopolitan cities in Canada,

· yet obviously not racist-free . While racism is a sad thing it can be stopped . It takes

time and education to enlighten people about others . And in Canada, this is a necessity .

After all we nearly all of us are immigrants to Canada. It {sour adopted homeland by choice, in many cases.

People come to Canada because they want to have a better life, not because they seek harassment.

It's quite amazing, almost sad, that our student society has to resort to cheap tricks at the end of the year in order to achieve recognition .

The cheap trick in this case happens to be Rod Burgmann' s call for Les Brett' s, our venerable president, resignation on the grounds of "willful neglect, abusiveness, or abrogation" of the constitution.

Now we all realize that everyone has their faults but surely if the student society expects us to believe that these allegations against good old Les are indeed true then we in turn must also expect them (i .e . Rod) to be able to back up their charges.

The biggest flaw in this plan, which Rod and Les have so ingeniously worked out together, is that Les will have to give up her position in a very short time anyhow, and elections to find her successor for next year are already under preparation.

Not a bad idea Rod and Les but please, next time don't insult our intelligence .

Mikey hates socialism Dear Editors:

It appears to me that the students of Douglas Col­lege have a very grave problem to deal with . The gravity stems , not from the fact that the problem is so monstrous , though it cer­tainly is , but from the refusal on the part of most people to recognize it as a problem . The problem is the existence of the " vogue socialist", not only at Douglas College, but at colleges all over the free world .

While the concept of the " vogue socialist" is dis­gusting , it is particularly frustrating experiencing these mindless individuals first hand . They are, as socialism itself is , a diseasE which continues to infect the minds of students everwhere . These people, who for the most part profess to know a great deal , have only a very

rudimentary understanding of eco-political systems . They are among the most pretentious , and therefore amusing, people one could ever hope to engage in a discussion and will almost always , when discussing their limited ideas , bring up some fabricated story about the success of socialism in this part of that part of the world . These same people haven ' t a clue as to what happened in England or Sweden .

One may ask how it is that these people, who are ·so willing to draw an audible graphic of their own ignorance still manage to exist . The answer is a simple one which involves three major groups within " vogue socialism" : a guilt­ridden subsection of the middle class, the "under­dogs" or working class, and the truly vogue socialist who are aware

Rum flavoured. Wine dipped.

merely that socialism was popular years ago and so it must be the eco-political doctrine to swear one's allegiance to.

If you are outraged the contents of this letter, then you are probably " vogue socialist" and are probably too wrapped up in your simplistic thought to realize that you are, indeed, part of the problem .

were stereotypic working class symbols .

The skins were tough . They supported their local football team by starting fights with the opposition ' s fans . The skins hated aliens' , " queer-bashing" and " paki-bashing" were their idea of an evening's sport. They became the " shock troops" of emerg­ing facist organizations like the National Front .

The skins formed the mob behind the National Front, seeing the decay of their lifestyle as a result of the influx of non-white immigrants . Founded 12 years ago, the National Front is now Britain's fourth largest political party, winning increasing success in local and national elections . "Its leadership," writes Martin Walker of the Guardian, " includes men who were once proud to be termed Nazi, who served prison sentences for organizing para-military groups, who talked of Jews as "mag­gots", of blacks as "scum", and who dreamt of the coming of the 'chill north wind flaunting the

swastika banner in the sky' .''

" Its central message -remains one of racial hatred . Yet such men, and such a party, have achieved electoral respectabi I ity .''

Amazingly, the Tories have labelled it an " immi­gration problem". They plan to curb immigration from black countries and eventually halt the flow altogether .

The government first :>assed its Race Relations Act in 1965, amendmg it in 1968 and 1976. A Commis­sion for Racial Equality has been established . Mere posturing? Before the election last, Margaret Thatcher's standing in the polls shot up 11 per cent after she made what was widely interpreted as an ' 'anti-immigration" speech . A Gallup Poll taken in February, 1978, found that 49 per cent of whites thought that financial help should be offered to non­whites to return "home" . But for most non-whites, home is Britain.

The Other' Press

stretches the globe Financially and other­

wise, some of the RAR clubs are suffering. Ac­cording to one Temporary Hoarding article, last sum­mer's carnivals had to be cancelled and a "militant entertainment" tour had to be cut back. Last Spring's Southall riots seem to have put a damper on some activities . Local town offi­cials and police don't take kindly to the punk set; especially when it clashes with the NF.

"Southall is special," eulogizes Andy Zerox. "There have been pol ice killings before. There will be police riots again. But on April 23rd the police behaved like never before

SFUTA's pay increase appealled by administration

BURNABY [CUP]- The B. C. Labour Relations Board March 11 dismissed on appeal by the Simon Fraser University administration to reverse the LRB' s December decision to award SFU teaching assis­tants a retroactive four per cent pay increase.

A teaching staff union (TSSU) spokesperson said he was not surprised at the LRB' s decision and charged the appeal was a result of

theTa's unionization . ' ' 1\ management deci­

sion to withhold our annual pay increase as a result of our union certification vote was clear in this case,'.'

SFU information officer Mark Lushington said March 13.

The TSSU became certi­fied in Sept. 1978 and have been negotiating their first contract with the adminis­tration for more than a year .

''The union is also wary of the stance of the

t university towards labour as a whole," Lushington added. "The board of governors has joined the B.C. council of employers . The university no longer sees itself as a public servant. I wonder how the -students see them .''

An SFU administration spokesperson said the appeal was based ''solely on the principle of the thing."

Assistant vice-president academic Dan Birch ·said the university had no intention to roll back the wages if they had won the

administration was con­cerned about the legality of the original LRB decision.

"We felt, and our advice was, that there was a number of things, by law, that were wrong in the original ruling," he said. "In our view the LRB's latest decision was wrong."
