tort' suppresse d
By LESLIE PLOMMER
There's an interesting editoria l
in the August issue of Alumn i
Chronicle, the quarterly magazine
published by the UBC Alumn i
Association .
In it, association presiden t
Frank Walden calls on students ,
faculty and alumni to debate ,
Cameron's article, page 3
challenge and discuss the content s
of the August edition of th e
Chronicle, which was compose d
of several articles under the
general title The Pace of Chang e
at UBC .
Apparently the , call fo r
discussion doesn ' t includ e
nationally-known writer an d
former UBC lecturer Donal d
Cameron .
Prior to publication of the
December issue of the Chronicle ,
Cameron's effort at challenge an d
debate — in the form of a writte n
response to an August Chronicle
article lauding the UBC board o f
governors — was suppressed by
Walden and the associatio n
executive .
The Chronicle article wa s
entitled Board of Governors : The
Closed Doors Hide No Ogres, an d
was written by UBC graduate
Alex Volkoff. Camero n ' s criticis m
centred on the fact that Volkoff' s
article was an uncritical
whitewash of members of the
board of governors and their rol e
in the university and society .
Overruling Chronicle edito r
Clive Cocking — who was ready t o
publish the Cameron article -- the
association executive, with
Walden in the lead, vetoed th e
article .
Cocking felt the Cameron piece
represented "a very vali d
viewpoint . "
However, Walden didn't see i t
that way .
"It was an unsolicited articl e
that didn't meet our editoria l
requirements," he said Monday .
What are these "editoria l
requirements" ?
"Oh, I wouldn't care to go in
to that," he said .
Do these requirements mean
the Alumni Association doesn' t
allow the publication of Chronicl e
articles that are unfavorable to th e
UBC board?
"Oh, I wouldn't say that, no t
necessarily," he said .
Well, what are thes e
"requirements" then ?
"Isn't that what newspapers
always say when they don't wan t
to publish something? " Walde n
said, and abruptly ended th e
conversation .
Walden then contacted Alumni
Association executive director
Jack ("I just work here" )
Stathers, who had backed the
Walden initiative to scuttle th e
Cameron article .
Stathers later told The Ubysse y
he wouldn't comment on reason s
for the suppression .
"If he (Walden) won' t
comment, I won't," he said.
Starting about two years ago ,
the Alumni Association executiv e
set up a system whereby major
articles to appear in the Chronicl e
were first reviewed by th e
association's president, executiv e
director and the chairman of th e
Chronicle editorial committee .
It was under this system tha t
Walden received a copy o f
Cameron's article before th e
Chronicle went to press abou t
Dec . .6 .
The Alumni Association, a s
publisher of the Chronicle, i s
putting about $42,000 this year i n
to financing the magazine, whic h
is sent to all UBC alumni .
Thus, the executive of th e
association (the publisher) take s
precedence over the Chronicle
editorial committee in deciding
what is to appear in the magazine .
And the editorial committee di d
not take part in the recent
executive move to kill th e
Cameron piece .
"I don't agree with th e
decision to can the article, "
Chronicle editor Cocking sai d
Monday .
"I hadn't asked for the thing ; i t
just came . I was going to run i t
anyway," he said .
"I thought it represented a
very valid viewpoint, though it
wasn't a very new analysis of th e
UBC situation .
"The executive decision was

contradictory, because the objec t
of that issue of the Chronicle wa s
to stimulate the sort of reaction
and discussion that we got .
"It's a disppointing decision
because it's indicative of not a
very progressive attitude, " said
Cocking, who has been editor o f
the magazine for almost fou r
years .
The executive decision come s
as no surprise to Donald Cameron ,
author of the suppressed article .
Anticipating just such an
occurrence, Cameron sent a copy
of the article to The Ubyssey in
October, suggesting that th e
newspaper might run it if Cockin g
was prevented from doing so .
Cameron writes for Maclean's ,
Saturday Night and Th e
Mysterious East, an alternative
newspaper in Nova Scotia . He also
works for the CBC and is an
associate professor of English a t
the University of New Brunswic k
on leave this year .
His article appears on pages 2
and 3 of today ' s Ubyssey .

'Social Credit guarantees resource rip-off '
By JIM JOLY
B .C . is looked upon as the las t
banana republic in the wester n
hemisphere, says Dave Barrett ,
provincial New Democratic Part y
leader .
Charging the present Social
Credit administration with lack o f
planning, Barrett told 60 person s
Monday in SUB 205 that th e
government is guaranteeing th e
give away of the province' s
natural resources .
"$240 million worth of B .C .
copper was shipped to Japan an d
the United States in 1969-1970, "
he said . "The direct return to th e
people under royalties was zero . "
Barrett called for greate r
toughness in negotiating natura l
WAISMIMMEME&
resources contracts with othe r
countries .
"B .C . should either bargain
ruthlessly for the use of those
natural resources or leave them in
the ground until we get a mor e
sensible administration," he said .
According to Barrett, touris m
has the greatest potential of an y
industry in the province .
"The whole of B .C . should be a
restful oasis for people all ove r
North America," he said ,
mentioning the possibilities of
old-fashioned trains and steamer s
running through the province ,
providing summer employmen t
for students .
If elected provincial premie r
Barrett said he would nationalize
B .C . Telephone and institute a
government automobile insuranc e
plan .
"B .C . Tel sends $22 million of
profit each year to New York, "
said Barrett . "We need the $2 2
million here . "
He also said car insuranc e
holders were being "hosed "
through excessive rates .
Predicting a federal election i n
June and a provincial election fo r
August, Barrett said the people o f
B .C . should become mor e
politically aware .
"If you want your politician s
to two the line, you must involve
yourself in politics, no matte r
which party . "
- He recommended th e
separation of unemployed
workers from the rest of the
BARRETT . . . tough bananas
people on welfare rolls to bette r
provide them with jobs .
"Unemployables can d o
meaningful productive work i n
the fields of tourism, parks, road s
and sewers," he said.
"Welfare is not a major drai n
of funds, welfare is a major drai n
of people,"
Barrett said he is trying to
work for the best possible deal h e
can get for the B .C . people .
"The revolutionary crap is
okay for kids on the corner, but i t
isn't realistic, " he said .
Barrett said old line parties stand to gain by not doin g
anything while in power .
"Why ruin a good promise b y
doing something about it?, " h e
mused .

"Dance," said John Liersch . Eyes
glazed, faintly smiling, Alex Volkoff ros e
and began to sway in time with th e
music.
"Okay, " Liersch nodded, turning off
the record player. "Now climb that tree . "
As Volkoff's fingers clutched th e
rough welts of bark, Liersch turned t o
Leon Koerner.
"What do you think? "
"Not bad, "Koernergrinned. "Not ba d
at all. "
Volkoff was back . Liersch gestured
hypnotically, the Mandrake of the power
elite.
"Your critical faculties are asleep, "h e
intoned. "Your critical faculties ar e
asleep. Your critical faculties are asleep . "
"My critical faculties are asleep, "
smiled Volkoff.
"Fine," said Liersch . "Now go write
your article. "
I mean, what else can explain it? Ale x
Volkoff is no dummy : she writes o f
Harry Adaskin with enthusiasm and skill ,
and of the new student government a t
UBC with engaging skepticism . But i n
"Board of Governors : the Closed Doors
Hide No Ogres" (UBC Alumni Chronicle ,
August) she just smiles and smiles .
Setting out to show, for some pervers e
reason, that the board is not "a
university bogeyman . . . keeping a
careful eye on education for Uncle Cece" ,
she makes numerous claims which he r
own evidence plus a minimum of research
show to be quite untrue . The board
members are not "governors", she says ,
but rather more like "administrativ e
assistants" . Then she outlines the board' s
responsibilities : all universit y
appointments, establishment and
maintenance of buildings, preparatio n
and adoption of both capital and curren t
budgets, student, fees and restriction o f
enrolment .
Assistants? To whom — God?
Then she outlines the composition o f
the board : president Walter Gage, two
lawyers and a judge, a housewife and six
businessmen . "Nearly half," chirps
Volkoff, "are not businessmen ." Which
seems a singular way of saying that th e
businessmen hold an absolute majority o n
the board . Moreover the housewife is a
daughter of the late George Cunningham ,
who built up one of the largest -- perhaps
the largest chain of retail drug stores i n
Canada . Not one member of the board
comes from outside British Columbia' s
ruling elite . Where are the fishermen an d
farmers and schoolteachers and clerk s
whose taxes pay for the blasted place ?
For that matter, where are th e
professions other than law? Where i s
agriculture? Where are the academics :
could no professor at Simon Fraser o r
UVic add lustre to the UBC board? Where
is labor ?
Labor's absence, at least, is explained .
The university would like, Volkoff notes ,
"more representatives of labor ." Well ,
splendid : it could hardly have less . "Bu t
frankly," concedes UBC deputy presiden t
Bill Armstrong, "this is no t
acceptable to the provincial government . "
Why the provincial government shoul d
worry its little head about such a pack o f
eunuchs — or " administrative assistants"
Volkoff never makes clear . And on e
wonders a good deal about the integrit y
of a university which truckles to a yaho o
government even on such small matters a s
this .
Armstrong also believes facult y
members should keep their noses out o f
what doesn't concern them . "People wit h
vested interests," he declares, "should no t
sit on the board ." Fine : but what's sauc e
for the faculty is sauce for the president ,
who is also a university employee an d
does sit on the board .
The people without "vested interests "
who now fill the board turn out t o
include officers of Canadian Fores t
Products, Rayonier Canada, Canad a
Fishing Company and MacMillion and

Donald Cameron' s

to a whitewas h
of UBC's boar d
of governor s
Bleedall, not to mention the former Miss
Cunningham . The terms in which they are
described are warm : one is "a quie t
professional", and another "a brisk ,
business-like and affable lawyer" ; others
are variously described as "colorful" ,
"extroverted", and "charming" . It sound s
like the guest list at the Last Supper .
But who are these people "competen t
in money matters"? What kinds of
interests do they represent? I have onl y
one power-research tool with me in my
Nova Scotia hideaway, the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics' (remember tha t
phrase?) Intercorporate Ownership ,
which reports that Walter Koerner' s
Rayonier "Canada" is 99 .9 per cen t
owned by the American parent company .
Koerner, then, is the figurehead of a U .S .
branch plant .
John Liersch, past chairman of th e
UBC board, is vice-president of Canadia n
Forest Products, which in turn is part of a
bewildering conglomeration of companie s
which connects at several points with
Crown Zellerbach . For example, Liersch' s
company is owned 21 .1 per cent b y
Canfor Building Products Ltd ., 12 .5 pe r
cent by Stave Lake Cedar, 26 .9 per cen t
by Spring Creek Logging, 26 .9 per cen t
by Canfor Holdings Co . Ltd . and 12 .5 pe r
cent by Consolidated Timber . But Stave
Lake Cedar, Consolidated Timber an d
Spring Creek Logging are all more than
30 per cent owned by Canfor Buildin g
Products . And all three are also mor e
than 30 per cent owned by Canfo r
Holdings . Consolidated Timber owns 29
per cent of Spring Creek, while Sprin g
Creek, not to be outdone, owns 33 pe r
cent of Consolidated Timber as well as 3 3
per cent of Stave Lake Cedar . Stave Lake
Cedar owns 100 per cent of Canfor Ltd .
and 40 per cent of City Realty Holdings .
What is City Realty Holdings? I don' t
know — but I am made curious by th e
fact that two chunks of 10 per cent eac h
of City Realty Holdings are owned b y

all these companies actually do ?
Apparently Volkoff didn't inquire, and I
can't — but some other troublemake r
should .
What kind of person sits on the board ?
What is their record on pollution ?
MacMillion and Bleedall has a Ne w
Brunswick
subsidiary ,
Rothesay-MacMillan, which pours muc k
into the Little River and was scathingly
denounced by the former chairman of th e
provincial water authority . It s
management refuses even to discuss
pollution contol with reporters unless
they agree in advance to have their cop y
edited by the company . Even on the eas t
coast we hear rumblings from SPEC
about the company' s operations in B .C .
Its representative on the UBC board i s
vice-president Richard Bibbs .
What are the relationships betwee n
these companies and government? Ar e
they the subject of consumer complaints ,
and if so, for what? How many of the m
are unionized? What kinds of conditions
and pay obtain in their plants? Wha t
kinds of "incentives" do they get fro m
public money? Are any of the m
monopolistic? Do they go in for
price-fixing? These may be highl y
respected citizens, these administrativ e
assistants, but should they be? We can't
know unless we examine the performance
of the enterprises they direct — an d
Volkoff isn't looking into anythin g
beyond personality .
Consider, for instance, Donova n
Miller, president of the Canadian Fishin g
Company and "a reserved man in hi s
third term on the board ." Despite it s
name, Canadian Fishing Company is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ne w
England Fish Company, which make s
Miller the local manager of a componen t
of the American economic empire . (Make
that "a running dog of Yanke e
imperialism" . No, on second thought ,
don't : it might lead people to charge tha t
I reveal a most unscholarly lack o f
objectivity . Volkoff's article, however, i s
both
"objective"
an d
"non-controversial", two pluses for her . )
Donovan Miller's devotion to th e
public interest is well-known here in Nov a
Scotia, where his company was dickering
with the government to take over the
plant and equipment of Acadia Fisheries,
a British-owned firm which wen t
bankrupt after fighting a seven-mont h
strike rather than allow its fishermen t o
join the United Fishermen and Allie d
Workers' Union — or the "West Coas t
union", to use the scornful phrase applie d
to it by the companies and the Nova
Scotia press . The provincial government
has about $9 million in Acadia, including
$6 million in the plant alone, and Acadi a
owed the town of Canso $117,000 in
back taxes, which presumably can be
kissed off forever .
Although the government and th e
company were never able to come t o
terms, Miller's company initiall y
proposed that the government likewis e
kiss off its investment and simply han d
the plant over .
To its credit, the government told the
company to get stuffed . Failing that ,
Canadian Fishing wanted its repaymen t
of the loans to be tied to the amount o f
fish caught -- sort of a corporat e
guaranteed annual income, and an
arrangement I invite you to try out with
your own banker . (Gosh, Royal Bank, it' s
mean of you to take $83 a month on m y
car, no matter what .) While the talks with
Canadian Fishing continued, Canso' s
workers remained jobless for two month s
and more, with the government telling
them that expressions of unhappiness
such as demonstrations tended t o
jeopardize negotiations . Canadian Fishing
Company was said to be insisting on "a
stable labor situation" as precondition o f
taking over the plant, and of course any
deal was going to be contingent on a
welfare payment from the department o f
regional economic expansion .
No wonder Donovan Miller is
"reserved" .
I have been away from Britis h
Columbia since 1964, and I have no ide a
what the concrete results of the board' s
make-up are, in the same way that I coul d
not document the fact that the B .C .
courts are handmaidens of the
government and corporations . (I can —
and have — for the Maritimes, as other s
have for various parts of the Unite d
States .) But I am certain there are
consequences : programs in labor histor y
which somehow got stalled forever a s
they went up the ladder for approval, o r
visiting professors for which funds coul d
never be found, or promotion and tenur e
decisions delayed by a year or two .
("Yes, yes, I know he's published in
Monthly Review, but that's hardly an
organ of unbiased scholarship, it it?" )
These are not consequences of th e
Canadian university, of which they are a
part . Our universities exist to provide th e
kind of knowledge and the kinds o f
professionals required by business an d
government . We have faculties o f
commerce and law, not faculties of labo r
and organizing . We talk about how th e
economic system "works", not about the
fact that it obviously doesn't work and
should be replaced . We produce socia l
workers rather than social animators . Th e
composition of the board of governors i s
perfectly consonant with the function o f
the university as a whole .
Try to imagine a board which included
Homer Stevens, the tough and
experienced marxist president of th e
United Fishermen and Allied Workers ;
and Grace McInnis, NDP Member o f
Parliament for Vancouver-Kingsway ; and
the most militant of Indian and Chines e
leaders in the province ; and a couple of
The board of governors . . . "a pure love of business ."
Page 3
militant clergy plus, say, a Saul Alinsky
and Kathleen Aberle . But the very idea o f
a controversial board is a contradiction i n
terms . The board exists to manage the
university on behalf of the existin g
system of power relationships, not to g o
around stirring up trouble an d
encouraging people to examine awkwar d
realities .
But wait . Perhaps I am being unfair .
Doctrinaire . Ungenerous . Reflex
radicalism confronts knee-jerk liberalism ,
a stale scenario .
Don't forget, says Volkoff, that being
a board member is hard work . Lawyer
Art Fouks says he spends a full day ever y
week on university business, poor fellow ,
and he doesn't get paid . Volkoff
commiserates . It's "time spent away fro m
a lucrative job ." So why does he do it ?
Well, cynics might suggest that before
anyone dares answer that question he
should go over whatever he can get hol d
of in the line of university financial
records and see who does the university' s
legal work, and what relation there i s
between the interests of Canadian Forest
Products, Rayonier Canada, MacMillio n
and Bleedall and the kind of research tha t
does or doesn't seem to be encouraged in
forestry, biology, law, economics and th e
like . He ought to look up the Directory
of Directors to see what other companie s
have these uncles on their boards, an d
what business if any they do with th e
university . He ought to check to see ho w
many past board members and colleague s
of board members have been awarde d
honorary degrees . He ought to look at th e
movement between university position s
and positions in business, the provincia l
government and the bench . He ought t o
estimate the extent to which service o n
the board brushes up both the corporat e
and the personal image, and help s
confirm that one is what UBC's academi c
planner, Dr . Robert Clark, describes as " a
person highly regarded in th e
community", which may be roughly
translated as "a person who is recognized
by the provincial elite as one o f
themselves . "
But even if relations between th e
board members and the university turn
out to be as clean and sweet as the smel l
of a dew-topped rosebud, the poin t
remains that when a class sets out to ru n
a society, it has to undertake to run it s
constituent parts, too, and to convinc e
the public (with the help of certain kind s
of journalists) that it really acts in the
public interest, that it really deserves t o
retain the power it has gained . "Th e
average taxpayer," opines Volkoff,
"trusts the business board member muc h
more readily than he does the academic . "
Maybe — although the average citize n
often surprises the authors of these gli b
comments . But if he does trust thes e
people, it's because he has been fed a lin e
of propaganda by the commercial media .
Donovan Miller's cdnpany is asking Nova
Scotians for between six and ten millio n
tax dollars in order to earn a profit fo r
some American entrepreneurs . And we'r e
supposed to regard the fellow as a n
impeccable custodian of public funds ,
uniquely qualified to manage $60 millio n
a year of our hard-earned dollars . Nee d
someone to guard the chicken coop? As k
the fox .
Eleven personalities, says Volkoff ,
operating "on individual strengths and
weaknesses ." Gosh, just plain folks .
"They are simply a goup of 11 individual s
looking after the mechanics of operating
a university, leaving the academics free t o
get on with the process of education . "
And Volkoff knows the real reason
Art Fouks spends all that lucrative tim e
for nothing . "Their motivations," sh e
marvels, "are simply a desire to look afte r
the welfare of the old Alma Mater —
"Kind of brings a lump to your throat ,
doesn't it ?
. . and," continues our informant ,
"a pure love of business . "
Yes . Yes, indeed . About as pure a s
they come .

The Alumni Chronicle is a magazine that ha s
shown a marked improvement over the past few years .
Some of us figured this was because members o f
the Alumni Association were somewhat mor e
progressive than, say, the people in the universit y
administration who keep an eye on UBC Reports .
Now it seems that instead of showing a n
improvement because of the Alumni Association, th e
Chronicle has improved despite it.
When UBC Reports appears, you know tha t
everyone from Walter Gage's great-grandmother o n
down has read the copy in advance to check it s
suitability ,
What hasn't been known is that a similar procedure
goes on with the Chronicle .
And in this case the prime mover is Alumn i
Association veteran Frank Walden, a one-tim e
newspaper reporter who moved to the more lucrativ e
field of public relations .
More specifically, Walden is a member of the fir m
of James Lovick & Co ., a gang of oily punks who hav e
had their greasy fingers in a helluva lot of Socred an d
corporation double-dealing in this province .
And Walden, see, is the Chronicle's number on e
guardian of truth . Walden, see, is the guy who's checke d
over the Chronicle before our little eyes get a look at it .
Walden, see, is a snake-oil salesman for the people wh o
have power .
Of course, Walden isn't nearly as rich and powerfu l
as the people on the board of governors, but he's tryin g
— and that means doing a good job for the ruling elite .
He does it at James Lovick, and he's doing i t
through the Alumni Association .
Only he goofed . He said in his Chronicle editoria l
in August that open debate is one of the objects of th e
magazine ; ' then he showed he was lying, pure an d
simple .
He spearheaded a successful move to suppress a n
article whose dimensions didn't coincide with hi s
definition of debate .
An article, in other words, that told the trut h
about some of the activities of members of the UB C
board.
(And written by that all-time raving rabid radica l
Maclean's and CBC lad Don Cameron, yet! )
End of any illusions about debate .
So the next time you pick up an Alumn i
Association Chronicle, remember Frank Walden and the
people he serves .
Remember too that this isn't an isolated event .
There are lots of Frank Waldens and lots of boards
of governors .
The system is called capitalism .

It's only reasonable for us to now pee o n
everything dumb and crummy and stupid that happene d
since we last published, way back in early December o f
1971 .
As a matter of fact, we know this is expected . God
knows how many people we have passed this week wh o
have been muttering, "Well, I guess The Ubyssey wil l
pee on all the stupid things that have been going on ove r
the holiday . "
Unfortunately, we haven't catalogued the dum b
things and are forced to perform an all-inclusive pee .
Details later, maybe .

powerful Paul Knox gripping the helm and Plommer doing her imitation o f

editorial on page 4 of Ubyssey o f
Jan . 7, headed Negotiations .
Presumably the initials N . S . a t
the bottom indicate that th e
author was Nate Smith .
I won't deal with the persona l
comments that Mr . Smith has see n
fit to make about me and th e
executive since their validity i s
something which the students wil l
have to decide . However, I do fee l
that certain factual errors shoul d
be brought to students' attention .
In the first place, it should b e
pointed out that we did not feel i t
necessary to retain a negotiato r
until we were faced with just such
a person working for the union .
Prior to the appointment of a
mediation officer (at the union' s
request) negotiations were carrie d
on in a very direct an d
co-operative manner .
However, the union saw fit t o
have Mr . Bill Swanson represen t
them before the officer . Mr .
Swanson has had many year s
experience as a professiona l
negotiator and, consequently, pu t
us at a very real disadvantage .
On the advice of the AM S
lawyer and with the concurrenc e
of myself and our general
manager, we retained Mr . Ke n
Martin . I believe it is to his credit ,
given the very real differences still
existing after some months o f
collective bargaining, that a
contract that was acceptable t o
both sides was reached in a coupl e
of weeks.
That brings me to a secon d
error in Mr . Smith's editorial —
the time spent by Mr . Martin .
Rather than two and half days ,
Mr . Martin in fact spent some fou r
or five days in actual negotiation s
with additional time spent i n

The idea is to becom e

devoting so much energy t o

sensuality of the body is ofte n

"In fact, the head often stops a

"By learning to move an d

conscious of another dimension o f
ourselves . Everybody is going t o
become aware in a different wa y

The workshops, beginning
Thursday, are to be conducted b y

more in the second, and adde d
four more in the third to win it ,
7-4 .
Centre Alex Dick scored two ,
while the other 'Bird goal-getters
were Bob MapAneeley, To m

Arnold Pederson .
The ' Birds, now with six win s
and two losses, must still pick u p
a game somewhere to close in o n
the league-leading Golden Bears .
There is a strong possibility
Alberta will lose at least one gam e
against Calgary or Manitoba .
Failing that, the 'Birds would be
forced to take both remainin g
league contests with the Bears i n
Edmonton .
Assuming that the Bears will
not be upset, UBC will have t o
rely on their road form for th e
shot at first place in the WCIAA .
To date, that record has bee n
perfect . The 'Birds beat Manitob a
8-3 and Brandon 12-4 for the 2- 0
record .
Their next games are on th e
road against Winnipeg an d

The UBC Thunderbirds are a good basketball team . No on e
doubts that, but then, so are the University of Alberta Golden Bears a
good basketball team .
Just ask the 'Birds .
Over the weekend, the Bears put the skids to the UBC hoo p
crew dumping them 78-64 Friday and then tripping them up by a
score of 72-69 on Saturday night in Edmonton .
Despite fine individual efforts by Stan Callegari who scored 3 0
points Friday and Darryl Gjernes who came through with a caree r
high of 26 points Saturday night, the 'Birds were unable to neutraliz e

"I was quite pleased with the way we played . They've got a good bal l

UBC and Alberta now have identical 6-2 records and share firs t
place in the Rockies division of the WCIAA . They meet again at Wa r
Memorial Gym for two games Jan . 21-22 . Those two games shoul d
decide the conference championship .
Before that though, the 'Birds have a date at Pacific Coliseu m

its annual convention in that wel l

Among

voted on is one to make the gam e

different . One of the major
recommendations is that the CF L
adopt the four down rule t o
replace the current three downs in
10 yards necessary to maintain
a consumer column- 1
possession of the ball .
And why not? After all whe n
every head coach of every

American citizen why shouldn' t
we change the rules t o
accomodate them .
The three down thing is jus t
too confusing when you've bee n

FOOD SERVICES : Real dishe s
are back in SUB and the majo r
casualities have been our stomach s
and the administration' s
credibility .
In its mistaken attempt to co n
the students into accepting pape r
and plastic utensils it placed sign s
in SUB listing all the advantage s
(?) of the disposable items .
"Ecology," the sign said .
"Disposables are bio-degradable . "
In discontinuing th e
disposables food service s
committee head Byron Hende r
stated to UBC PReports, " a
substantial number of student s
and faculty members proteste d
against the use of disposable s
because
they were no t
bio-degradable . "
Hender admits the dishonest y
of those signs by acknowledgin g
that the disposables used were no t
bio-degradable .
How many more undiscovere d
lies are being told to students at a
university which is supposedl y
"searching for the truth"?
