«I won't go.

A plea for national unity by
former Finance Minister Jean
Chretien raised enthusiastic
applause from a crowd of more
than 700 people in Dinwoodie
Lounge yesterday.

“We all have become too
parochial, said Chretien. “We all
think of ourselves as Albertans
or Ontarians first, forgetting
that we are Canadians too.”

He urged students to look at
the broader, historical aspects of
Confederation, saying that
Canada has the potential of
being together in tough and easy
times, sharing the good and
bad.

“We've come a long way,”
he said. “When you _ have
something like this it’s worth
fighting for.” ;

Chretien also discussed oil
pricing policy and termed the $2
per barrel per year increase
“inadequate”, saying “a new
agreement will have to be
negotiated with the producing
provinces.”

But he stopped short of
advocating the world price for
Canadian oil.

“We need an oil price that
reflects the cost of production in
Canada and provides a sufficient
return to the oil companies for
exploration,” said Chretien.

His stance drew some heck-
Ling from the audience.

~Chretien also said he has
little doubt the next government
will be Liberal.

He said voters wanted a
change in government last spr-
ing, but now after seven months

‘Giveaway under fire

Students sue CTV

TORONTO (CUP) - Five Un-
iversity of Toronto students are
suing the producers of CBC's
WS program for libel.

Norman Kwan, a second
year U.of TF dentistry.studentand
one of the five. plaintiffs, said he
was taking legal action because
the W5 program “was obviously
wrong. It was not simply con-
troversial.”

Kwan said he was upset and
frustrated because the program
depicted Chinese Canadians as
foreigners. “They have been
inciting hatred and ridicule of
the Chinese community,” he
said.

Kwan did not say whether
he was in the W5 film footage

but mentioned that the other
four plaintiffs are actually
shown.

The plaintiffs’ attorney, Joe
Pomerant, said while the writ
names five students it speaks on
behalf of all Chinese Canadian
students who were defamed.

Pomerant added he believ-
ed the position of the plaintiffs is
well grounded.

“The court will agree with
our position for the students,” he

The council of ‘Chinese
Canadians of Ontario (CCIO),
will request a hearing to review
the W5 program when they have
collected 50,000 signatures from
people supporting their petition.

The «CCIO~ chair, Dr;
Donald Chu, said they are
offering the five U of T students
“help from the back” but it was
the students’ decision to sue.

. Despite the impending law
suit and a demonstration at CBC
headquaters by 2,000 people just
last week, Lionel Lumb,
producer of W5 remains un-
ruffled.

“T stand by the program,”
he said of the WS “Campus

repeated that he strongly dis-
agreed with the actions of the

‘of Tory rule, the Liberals are-

leading in the election of polls by
13 points, the biggest margin
they’ve ever had two weeks away °
from an election.

Chretien chided the Tories
for their mortgage deductibility
scheme, and for increasing gas-
oline taxes, especially for
farmers who were previously
exempt.

Chretien also accused the
Tories of raising the interest rate
from 11 to 14 per cent after
“giving me hell” for raising it
from eight to 11 per cent.

However, he did admit the
Liberals have had some
problems too.

“But, by all means, let them

necessary,” he said.

Lumb refused further com-
ment, because. of the impending
libel suit: 3

The W5 program has been

' denounced by the Chinese Com-

munity, civil rights and student
groups and several politicians.
The program reported that there
are 100,000 foreign students in
Canada. Minister of Immigra-
tion Ron Atkey said the statistics
Canada estimates is 18,000.
Lumb said, “Special research
was done for WS by Stats Can
and Immigration” in his reply to
letters regarding the program.

WS host Helen Hutchison
interviewed a student who said
she could not get the U of T
faculty of pharmacy because
there were too many foreign
students. There are no foreign
students in that faculty this
academic year.

There was plenty of joie de vivre Friday afternoon in HUB mall as about 30 Faculte Saint-Jean students sang and
danced an invitation to the Facult e’s Winter Carnival, held Saturday and Sunday.

Voting rules change

WARNING: voting rules have changed—and your candidate

may be the loser.

Students’ Union election results will be tabulated with a
different type of preferential ballot. Here’s how it works.

When voting for positions with more than two candidates (vp
academic and Board of Governors representative in this election),
voters may select their first preference, their second preference,

and so on.

When tabulating the results, however, the computer will allot
points to the candidates so that a first choice vote is worth more
than a second choice vote, and so on:

For example, if there were “‘n” candidates, a first choice vote -
would be worth (n-1) points to the candidate, a second choice vote
would be worth (n-2) points, and so on, until a last choice vote is
worth (n-n) points to the candidate.

It is important to note that selecting more than one candidate
“dilutes” your first choice vote. Therefore, if you feel strongly that
only one candidate is suitable for a position do not mark second,

third or other choices.

If-you like two candidates, you should mark them first and

second and leave the others blank so

candidates points.

you do not give the other

If you are not sure how best to mark your ballot, the students
working at the polls will help you.

“another buffer zone for us.”

to retain our own identity...

His observation was greeted
with loud applause and ex-
clamations of “Hear, hear.”

He urged the audience to re-

controversial guy,” he said. “But
I tell you, I hate being around
dull guys.”

The Tories had their chance
and they “blew it”, according to
Chretien.

He said a minority govern-
ment has the responsibility of
making sure the policies it
presents are acceptable to the
House of Commons. “Their
budget was not,” he said.

“Last spring the Tories
made a lot of promises. We
Liberals campaigned and made
no promises,” he said. “So we
lost. But one thing we didn’t lose
was our credibility.” Chre-
tien said he respected Trudeau’s
recent comments in New-
foundland, where he said he
couldn’t give Newfoundland the
right to offshore oil resources.

Research funding increases

OTTAWA (CUP) — The Conservative government has
announced reséarch funding increases of $8 million for 1980-81
which it claims will create several hundred new jobs on Canadian
campuses.

Heward Grafftey, minister of state for science and
technology, said Jan. 31 the Natural Sciences and Engineering
Research Council (NSERC), which received a budget increase of
$39 million in November, will get an additional $2.8 million and
the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)
will receive a $5.8 million budget boost.

Grafftey said the increases mean the NSERC’s budget has

~ gone up 35 per cent over 1979-80 while the SSHRC’s budget will

have risen 16.2 per cent.

Grafftey, speaking in Sherbrooke, also mentioned a $12.2
million increase for the Medical Research Council (MRC)
announced earlier this year by health minister David Crombie, as
a key move toward increasing federal support for research.

“Research and development is the cornerstone of Canada’s
economic development and the increased funding, in addition to
promoting excellence in university reserach and encouraging more
of our outstanding students to go into research, will stimulate the
creation of a larger number of interesting and better paying jobs,”
Grafftey said.

The minister said the $9.8 million budget increase to the three
councils will help achieve the government target of R and D
expenditures of 2.5 per cent of the gross national product during
the 1980s.

Liberals promise student input

OTTAWA (CUP) — The Liberal Party has come up with a
campaign promise to introduce student representation on the
upcoming federal-provincial task force on student aid. But
whether the provinces would go along with the suggestion is
unclear.

Liberal campaign youth director Jean Gagnon said Jan. 31
the party supports student representation on the task force, which
the Conservatives created last year. Earlier in the campaign,
Conservative secretary of state, David MacDonald, announced
that students would not be allowed representatives on the task
force, which was established to look into the whole student aid
question in detail.

The NDP had pushed theConservatives to allow a student to
sit on the task force before the election. was called.

The National Union of Students (NUS), which has been
fighting for student representation, was optimistic but cautious
about the Liberal promise.

“We're pleased that they've made this promise and hope
they'll stick to it if elected,” said NUS executive officer Morna
Ballantyne, “but we also realize that the provinces are involved in
the decision and we have to make sure the Liberals, if elected, are
firm on student representation.”

Students protest wet T-shirts

LENNOXVILLE (CUP) — The wet t-shirt and muscle beach
contests have been dropped from the Bishop’s University winter
carnival because of student protest.

Several members of the Bishop’s student council had tried
unsuccessfully to have the contest removed from the carnival
schedule at a Jan. 15 council meeting but a majority overruled
their objections.

However, a petititon circulated on campus by the Bishop’s
status of women committee to have the contests dropped soon
gained more than a hundred signatures and council again debated
a motion to stop the contests at its Jan. 22 meeting.

Bradley Dow, a council member, argued that the contests
went against the best interests of the university.

“We are a university and the role of the university should be to
lead society in elevating dignity and human rights,” he said. “These
contests are also contrary to the spirit of the carni, which is
supposed to be participatory and nat spectator oriented.”

Member of Parliament
Doug Roche discussed human
rights in the world today at a
meeting of the Political Science
Undergraduate Association
(PSUA) last. week.
‘ Political terrorism is rabid,
in over 70 countries, said Roche.
In Cambodia alone, over two
million people were killed
methodically by the Pol Pot
regime.

“There has never been as:

much potential to solve the
problem of poverty. We have the
economic potential” Roche said,
but “we haven’t the political
potential for implementation.”

Instead, over one million
dollars per minute is spent on the
arms race, Roche pointed out.

“We cannot achieve security
through the arms race,” and yet

“we cannot realistically disarm

unilaterally, he said.

Roche called
“two-edged coin.” Canada must
stay part of the “western
alliance” on one edge yet must do
everything possible to build for
peace through mutual disarma-
ment, on the other.

“It’s a paradox . .
dilemma” Roche said.

. its-a
“The

world is a very complex place. .

Beware of those who say there

_ are black and white solutions.”

Roche questioned the

security a:

meaning of the “good life” if we
cannot feel satisfied with the
“human condition.”

He said there is an “integral
relationship between us as
human beings and as a global
community.” sar

“Its not there yet, but its
coming,” he said.

Roche said this human
revolution is inevitable and is
happening economically and
politically.

He admitted Canada could
do more to find solutions to
quicken the process, however.

Aside from the Nobel prize
winning exploits of the. late
Prime Minister L.B. Pearson,
Roche said we have not been

creative or daring enough, and
have not been initiating enough
proposals to cure the dismal
human prospect.

Persistently questioned on
the option of a neutral status for
Canada in foreign affairs, Roche
said he liked the idea, but it was
not politically wise. :

He noted that in the 60s
when Canadian forces were
reduced in Eutope, Canada lost
prestige in the West.

However, Roche did say
Canada was neutral in one sense.
“We are the only country with
the capability to build nuclear
weapons, who does not yet have
them.” :

The Soviet Union’s involve-
ment in Afghanistan was not an
act of aggression or intervention,
according to Bill Kashtan.

Rather, the Soviet, Union
was honoring a 1978 treaty with

Afghanistan which stipulated
that Afghanistan could ask the
U.S.S.R. for military aid.
Kashtan said both internal
and external factors prompted
Afghanistan’s call for assistance.

_ Reaction was lively and opposition vocal when Bill Kashtan,
national leader of the Communist Party of Canada addressed Dr.
Max Baird’s Political Science 202 class last Friday.

But Baird estimated that only one-quarter of the students
were openly hostile during Kashtan’s half-hour speech on the
Communist Party’s views on Canadian economic and foreign

policy.

And Baird says it’s a valuable experience for his students to be
exposed to an alternative point of view.

Kashtan didn’t seem bothered by the hostile audience, either.

“I have no objection when people yell and swear at me,”
laughs Kashtan. “I know there are differences.”

Moreover, he maintained
that the Soviet Union is not

“The American decision to

discussion lately, and some students seem to see it as a magical
solution to all their problems. Last week the Council on Student

Executive that the bill of rights be thoroughly studied.

If passed, the bill will have far-reaching ramifications on
relationships between faculty, administration and students. The
following questions attempt to deal with some aspects of the bill.
(1) What does the Student Bill of Rights mean to you?

It means that most of your rights and obligations will be
explicitly proclaimed. At present, some of these, such as
protection against improper academic evaluation, are only
assumed to exist.

(2) What if we don’t have a Student Bill of Rights? :

At present, we have to rely on the good will of university
officials. Most basic rights on procedures are stated in the GFC
regulations. The parts dealing with principles are largely omitted.
The result — when a situation not covered by the regulations
arises, an official has to use his discretion. The only requirement is
that his discretion must reflect good faith, reasonableness and
professional competence. With the bill of rights, he would have a.
set of principles to rely on. .

(3) What are its benefits to you?

The bill of rights would make students more aware of their
rights. University officials would be less inclined to misuse their
power, and students would be more prepared to assert their rights
if they were aggrieved. At present, most grievances occur because
others don’t know that students have rights or think that students
won’t pursue grievances.

(4) What are the disadvantages?

carrying out their duties. This is undesirable because the main
objective of a university is to advance and disseminate knowledge.
Unnecessary assertion of rights and frittering over small details
may impede that goal.

(5) What are the obstacles?

It’s difficult to ascertain the bill’s effects on existing
regulations. It could have a wide effect, like the American
Constitution, which invalidates any law not conforming to it. Orit
could have very little effect, like the Canadian Bill of Rights, which
is only a declaration of good will and intention.

(6) What is the real issue? :

university officials can be trusted to exercise their power properly.
The study, if carried out thoroughly, should tell us whether they
are worth trusting, not only during the time of peace and
tranquility, when everyone is sane and accomodating, but also in
times of turmoil, when the system is put to a real test.

~ Boycott boycotts

Violence and oppression cannot be tolerated. The
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan cannot be watched with only
frowns and murmured threats. However, a response to the
invasion should not include an Olympic boycott. Unfor-
tunately, Joe Clark has been prompted by a faltering
campaign to make an Olympic boycott proposal that could:
be more damaging than constructive.

The fact that a boycott would be a reflex echotoU.S.
threats is bad enough. More importantly though, Clark and
many others have forgotten the Olympics are not just games.
The Olympics is the last major event uniting all countries in’
non-violent endeavor. The Olympics were the one event able
to create friendly international exchange of ideas for the
improvement of mental and physical health.

Of course the games have become commercial and

- often seem to represent a corporate Olympics. Still one

point remains clear. That is, the Olympics exist to find the

world’s fastest, and strongest, athletes. No single nation has
been able to steal the game’s significance and place it on its
own doorstep.

‘Of course countries have tried to boost a false sense of
superiority with the Olympic’s prestige. For example Nazi
Germany in 1936 tried but could not steal the Olympic’s
blind love for the best. Hitler’s blue-eyed Aryans did not
sweep the games. Instead a black man, Jesse Owens, became

the hero, and his German competitors were the first to

congratulate him. Hitler’s schemes were ruined and his .

refusal to congratulate Owens exposed him as the leader of a
_ sick philosophy. Unfortunately, the truths made clear at the
Olympics are not apparent enough today. Simply, the
Olympics show that, under the timer, no race is superior of
body or mind. We are of the same collection of cells, hopes,
and dreams.
What a mistake to forget that participation in the
games is a nation’s acknowledgement to living in a world
community that does have inflexible barriers. Certainly
walls exist, but the means of breaching them should remain
intact. Individual freedom is not a guarantee in the East of
the West. Still, as long as any form of meeting occurs, even if
only at four year intervals, there is hope for communication.
Where there is communication negotiation can occur and
perhaps peaceful change.
To ignore the game’s diplomatic opportunity is to
ignore a possibility of peaceful change. Quite simply, the
Olympic team is a diplomatic mission and a refusal to send
~ the Canadian is a refusal to send our diplomats. Does Clark,
with his impressive foreign affairs record, realise cutting
- diplomatic ties is often a prelude to war? Does he realise at
the-least a boycott will represent a slavish aligment with a
frustrated and often irrational US reputation?
Perhaps that is what he intends. It may be he, and
others who wish a boycott, would prefer non-negotiation
and risk gldbal violence. Perhaps the hint or possibility of
violence is a spice to take an electorate’s mind off economic
_ problems.
In any case if Canada decides to drop out of the games
not only a diplomatic opportunity is lost. Canada will lose a
reputation as a reasonable and friendly land. Instead
Canada could appear like a Hitler who didn’t like the way
- the game was played. Global tensions must be dealtwith. An
Olympic boycott seems an easy way to pressure the USSR.
- However, a boycott is clearly more destructive than any of
‘the dubious good it might possibly achieve.

Last minute slate assembly

I wish to comment on this
Friday’s election when some of
us, at least, will elect next year’s
executive committee, and Board
of Governors representative.

The two slates of candidates '

running this year are
characterized, as usual, chiefly
by the haphazard way in which
they were assembled..I do not
intend to criticize the individuals
involved for what is almost the
traditional method of procuring
candidates, but rather to suggest
that it would be'a mistake to
suppose that a slate is composed
of equally competent individuals
or that they will necéssarily be
able to function as a unified
body if elected.

The fact of the matter is
that, over the last several years at
any rate, slates have been
selected largely at the last minute
using as candidates almost any
person who could be persuaded
to run (for those with long
memories, no, I do not exclude
myself).

An examination of the
Throrkelson Slate’s campaign
literature leads me to the follow-
ing observations. : Firstly, most
of the candidates seem to lack
relevant experience. Not one of
them, for instance, is a coun-
cillor. Some have sat on a few
Students’ Union boards.or GFC
committees, to be sure, but that
is no. great distinction, par-
ticularly in. view of the
vacuousness of most of their
other qualifications. As for their
base of support, it seems to rely
far too heavily upon Lister Hall
and the Faculty of Commerce.

Secondly, is the overall
impression of their platform.
They have a few worthwile ideas,
it is true. However, many of their
most interesting proposals, such
as a differential price structure
favouring students at SU outlets,
a charity fund, and _ in-
stitutionalizing the Long-Range
Planning Committee, are all
being worked on by this year’s
executive. Many of their other
proposals have a marked 50s
flavour. Their platformindicates

Support for

MLA Nite

I disagree strongly with the |

Gateway editorial of January 29
on University Night. Its basic
premise is that students’ interests
are contrary to the government’s
interests. Such an absolute state-
ment is obviously incorrect. For
example, a strong Alberta
economy is beneficial to both

_Students and government. Un-

iversity Night is an attempt to
show the government that its
interests and those of students

‘can be the same.

The editorial also suggests
that public dissent will be more
successful than ‘wining and
dining’ in dealings with the
government. No evidence is
advanced to support this and the
only examples of public dissent
suggested are protest marches,
mass demonstrations, and a
public meeting that would, like

other such meetings, attract very

few students.

Finally, the editorial
suggests that Students’ Council
has lost the support of many
students through its lacklustre
approach to governmental
relations. Students’ Council has
lost the support of many students
by attempting to represent
students on issues that students

do not see as being within its

purview.

to me that they perceive the SU
as a glorified Glee Club. Any
attention they pay to significant
political or administrative issues
is obscured amidst trivialities.
As for the Astley State, they
demonstrate some of the same
organizational weaknesses.
However, as candidates, their
individual qualifications largely
exceed those of their opponents.
Their platform seems to me to be
less fanciful as well. They at least
indicate that regaining control of
SUB (of which we can now use
about one third) is a priority
with them. They also promise
some action on the question of
fee structures, access to educa-
tion, and funding cutbacks,
issues which appear to be entire-
ly ignored by the Thorkelson
_Slate. With these considerations
in mind, I would urge support

for the Astley Slate, with the-

following exceptions.

It is a pity that the existence
of the slate system as it has
evolved over recent years, tends
to obscure the independent
candidates. This year there are
two particularly good indepen-
dants - Darrel Rankin, running
for vp academic, and Mary Ann
Gillies, for Board of Governors.
The qualifications of these per-
sons far exceed those of .their
opponents on either slate. These
positions seem to have been
somewhat neglected, in fact.
This is unfortunate, for both are
of great importance.

Mr. Rankin has been very
active in the Arts Students
Association for several years,

doing much the same sort of
work as would be required of
him if elected. [know him to bea
very hard worker, and have high
expectations of him. The posi-
tion he seeks is by no means less
important that other executive
committee positions. The vp
academic’ is in a position to
influence the. entire academic
environment on campus and
should be chosen with care.

Ms. Gillies is a member of
the Faculty of Arts executive
committee. She also served on
the Dean of Arts Selection
Committee. As such, she has
direct experience at the higher
levels of university administra-
tion which will stand her in good
stead. as a Board of Governors
member. This is far more than
her opponents can say. I am
confident that what they
promise in the way of represen-
ting students, bringing the B of G
home to us, as it were, and
bringing our interests home to
them, she can deliver.

I hope I have demonstrated
by claim, that electing a full slate
is no guarantee of electing six
competent individuals, or for
that manner, six who can-work
together at all. Those who wish
to confirm my remarks may
easily do so by examining the
campaign ‘literature, applying
the salt as needed.

There is no choice but to
vote for those best qualified for
the position they seek, and to do
so on an individual basis.

SU services for us

- For those of you who
missed Halley’s Comet, the
Grand opening of the all new
Brick Warehouse, and Billy
Beer, another miracle is in the
making. The good old U of A
Student’s Union is changing.

* It started with the dividing
of the record store into SU
Records and’‘SU Tapes, and, we,
the students, are swallowed by
the price increase led by Pharoh
Olmstead. Next we have new
management for the theatre (and
do not confuse new management
for new movies). You can (for the
same price as in prior years)
catch such contemporary hits as
“The Apartment,” “Gidget goes
to RATT,” and “Lassie: The
Iranian Wolfhound: Go Home.”
Not to mention such rockers (in
the concert series) as Sarah
Vaugn, Dale Harney and the
Magic Men, Bobby Curtola, and
I understand they are negotiating
a five figure deal with Sonny

~Bono. | can’t wait.

Next we have the table
service at RATT, which is good
for two reasons; 1) no one can
possibly drink as service is’
impossible; 2) the waiters look so
miserable and confused, we all
feel that our own lives can’t be as
bad as we thought.

Moving down the list, we
have music in Friday’s. Enjoy
breakfast (?) to the mellow
sounds of the Pointed sticks, the
Stranglers, and AC/DC. While
in the evening when you're ready
to. rock, we have the Mills
Brothers and Iranian folk music
(soon to be discontinued). One
other thing, if you want a captive
audience, have the music so you
can’t ever turn it off. Holy 1984,
Batman!

Further improvements are:
the waiters and waitresses in
Friday’s and RATT will be
forbidden to wear T-shirts under
pain of death. What this has to
do with improvement I will never
know, but I understand a fashion
coordinator is being sought for

1980.

So watch for — further
changes in the SU that you will
enjoy (or else!). It is unfortunate
thatnothing canbe done about
the price of. albums, the concerts
or movies .we are forced -tc
endure, or SU policy at all.

It has just been confirmec
that the Moms and Dads will
alternate with Gaby Haas for the
entire year of 1980 in Dinwoodie
Are you ready to Rock?

So, sit back, enjoy another
cup of Friday’s delicious coffee
and have another South African
beer and be sure that all is well
with your Students’ Union. By
the way, a fund has been started
so that some SU employees can
pay their Christmas bills as all!
part-time and casual workers are
laid off for two weeks over
Christmas and New Year’s. You
see, our wise and_ beneficial
Students’ Union think that those
workers don’t deserve Christmes
pay. Thanks Dean.

Regarding your ‘Executive
Report’ editorial, I am sick and
tired of these constant attacks by
the Gateway on the SU Ex-
ecutive. Reasoned arguments
against their policies and
programs are desired from and
expected of the Gateway.
However, the malicious personal
attacks on the Executive that
culminated in the ‘Executive

reprehensible. I hope that the
editorial staff of the Gateway will
exercise better judgement in the
future.

Election analysis ».

Students’ Union elections,

as all students are aware, are.

becoming increasingly boring,
repetitive, and ridiculous as the
“years go by. There is virtually
no student concern -for the
organization, and little is being
done to provoke interest. The
last five years or so have seen
elections contested mainly by
candidates with little or no
policy, with political platforms
of any substance being provid-
“ed by “outsider” contestants,
such as the Young Socialists,
various
other unsuccessful _ parties.
Front-running candidates con-
struct a miniature political
machine that promotes false
personalities and meticulously
avoids positions and substan-
tial political stands.

Usually, each year is a bit
worse than the last, and this
year’s election scenery is, true
to form, somewhat less in-
teresting than last year’s, when
the Olmstead slate was swept in
on a wave of apathy.

Before examining _ this
year’s contestants’ platforms,
the nature of. slate-building
should be discussed. Election
hopefuls usually try to con-
struct a slate that represents as
broad a cross-section of cam-
pus groups as possible, which is
legitimate and understandable.
But this predictable tactic has
become a U of A cliche, as it’s
now considered imperative that
a commerce student run for vp
finance, a residence student be
found to attract the res group, a
fraternity member.of associate
be rounded up, and so on. The
capabilities of a person are
secondary to the votes he or she
can bring in.

So in the frantic days
DeLOres the, closes cot
nominations, organizers run
around trying to find the
always-reluctant candidates.
People are urged, persuaded,
coaxed and cajoled into run-
ning, often at the last minute.
Significantly, few candidates
on this kind of slate decide to
run on their own because they
have concerns that are impor-
tant or grievances with the way
things operate. They run
because their arms are twisted,
and magically, a “team”
emerges.

Of course, it would be
political suicide for a slate to
admit that it is composed of
three or four last-minute
choices, as that would cast a
dark shadow on their team
spirit image. But, last week
when interviewing presidential
candidate Nolan Astley, I

Gordon Turtle

independents, and |

asked him why he was running.
His answer: “because I was
asked to run.”

However, as the campaign
develops, I’m sure Astley will
be chastised for his “wrong”
answers by his faceless cam-
paign organizers, and, by the
end of the week, his answer to
that question will be something
like, “I’m concerned about the
direction the Students’ Union is
taking, and I think my ex-
perience will enable me to act
capably in office.”

Ah, yes, the experience
factor! A look at the Astley
slate’s
reveals that for them, ex-
perience is what is important.
Two of the pamphlet’s four
pages are taken up with a listing
of each candidate’s ad-
ministrative experiences. Let’s
take a closer look at the
relevance of this experience.

As news director of CJSR,
Astley has interviewed Pete
Lougheed, Horsman, Notley
and various U of A officials.
How scintillating, Nolan, but
what does that have to do with
being a good president? Are we
to assume that having convers-
ed with these important people
that you will have a better
chance of negotiating with
them as president? Nolan also
notes that he is an advisor to a
local Lutheran Youth Group.
Admirable, but hardly signifi-
cant to the campaign.

Kris Farkas and Jan Byer,
two of the Astley slate can-
didates both possess a lot of
relevant experience, so why did
they pad their mini-bios with
such garbage as “committee
member for the promotion of

Center” (Farkas)?

Karen Stephanson tells

_ Voters that she is involved in the

Chaplaincy Organization and
is a coordinator of Knox-Met
United Church Youth Group.as
well as a member of the Inter-
Varsity Christian Fellowship.
Big deal. This may be an appeal
to Christian voters, but the
tactic is cheap and its effect
minimal. Anyone who relates
this experience to capability for
the SU executive has never
spent an hour in or near the
executive offices.

One scant page of the
Astley pamphlet is devoted to
policy and it successfully
matches the innocuous
irrelevance of the pamphlet’s
inside pages. Platitudes abound
as Astley and his mates promise
everything except a cure to all
known diseases. They'appeal to
students’ cupidity, (not a totally
unwise tactic), and outline such
pie-in-the-sky plans such as
“leadership in the fight against
inadequate funding”, “improve
communications between the
Students’ Union executive and

. the student body”, and a “Push

for awards for high academic
achievement”. I let the reader
draw his or her own con-
clusions: the pamphlet is suf-
ficient comment.

But if Astley’s platform is
virtually ridiculous, then the
Scott Thorkelson Slate’s policy
is outright insulting. I’m sure
that the brains of the slate must
have been watching a Happy
Days rerun when they wrote the
pamphlet, and it’s truly disap-
pointing to see statements like

Economy good, debate bad

by Peter Michalyshyn

_ Two economists and one
political scientist had little good
to say about our economic

rospects during an_ energy
orum held by the political
science department Friday.
Professors Brian Scarfe and
Ed Shaffer predicted hard
economic roads ahead, while

. The
Rotisser

ie
JNO

Fred Engelmann forecasted an
“utterly unstable” _ political
future.

Scarfe praised the Crosbie
budget and said it was the best
thing to come out of the Tories’
seven months in power.

However, he said he feared
the Liberals would be elected in
the upcoming federal election,

and return to a policy of ex-
cessive federal deficits and low
energy prices, which he blamed
for inflation and high interest
rates.

A lower budget deficit to
reduce foreign indebtedness, an
expansionary monetary policy to
avoid unemployment and _ in-
were sound economic
moves that the Conservative
government had made, he said.

_ Scarfe also said Canadians
aren't adjusting to economic
realities and are consuming far
too much oil. If prices don’t go
up now, he said, we’re going to
have to adjust “far too quickly”
in the future.

Professor Shaffer said “a

regime of economic planning” is
the only way out of the “world
economic crisis” we are now in.

Fred Engelmann, of the
political science department
appeared less worried about the
floomy economic forecasts than
the question. of political
leadership in the future.

He predicted that the NDP
will hold the balance of power in
the upcoming election and they
will side with the Liberals.

Engelmann said Crosbie’s
budget was hypocritical because
he asked Canadians to “tighten
their belts four notches” with
higher energy prices and then
“loosen them two notches” with
the mortgage interest plan.

interviewed

On Thursday, the Gateway
interviewed the candidates for
various positions in the up-
coming SU _ election and
presented their positions. Unfor-
tunately, Ron Snyder, indepen-
dent candidate for Board of
Governors representative, was
excluded from the interviews.
We apologize to Mr. Synder for
any inconvenience we may have
caused him. Here are his views
on the position.

Gateway: What do you see
as the major issues facing the B
of G representative in the next
year?

Snyder (Independent): It would
be ‘misleading to say there are
three major issues or anything
like that. There are so many
issues that are intertwined that
one affects the other. For in-
stance, cutbacks affect tuition
increases, which affect capital
expenditures — you see what I
mean? When you deal with one,
you deal with the other. I don’t
promise anything because I
represent only 5.21 per cent of
the board vote, but I will use
research to make the students’
case known to the board.

Election analysis from page 5

“The Thorkelson Team will

bring the University together”,

“One should take pride in being
a student at this institution”,
and promises like the slate “will
revive the Golden Key
Honorary Society” and will
also “revive the Evergreen and
Gold Yearbook”. Such tripe
has never before filled an
election pamphlet. Whether a
student takes pride in his
university is hardly the concern
of the Students’ Union, and no
executive will ever foster that
pride. Awards nights, honorary
societies, yearbooks and the
like please the high school
crowd, but priorities like this
for a multi-million dollar
operation are totally outside
the bounds of reason.

The pamphlet goes on to
outline plans for celebrating
Alberta’s anniversary, and the
team sees nothing wrong with
taking a chunk of the funds
available to throw a party and
to construct a parking complex
near the Jubilee Auditorium.
The immaturity and _ total
stupidity of these promises are
overwhelming: Thorkelson

Racism, from

thyself means destroying your
own culture... dragging yourself
down to. the lowest common
denominator.”

Butler also stressed the
connection between the Western
educational system and societal
problems.

“Fabian socialism”, as
typified by Pierre Trudeau, is “a
disease started by men and
women who realized if they
could capture the minds of
youth, they could capture the
nation,” he said.

Marx in 1848 listed ten steps
to “communizing” the world and
the tenth one was free education
in state schools, he added.

“Free schools are the ul-
timate destructors of our socie-
ty.”

Teachers today, he said,
“are not to teach but to indoc-
trinate .. . the disease carriers, as
I call them.”

The young are always more
susceptible to disease, Butler
pointed out, and suggested that
“their resistance must be built
up.”

One step in this process is
the careful selection of teachers.
“We have to be realistic . . .,” he

said, “Our whole society is ‘under
attack:”

“Temploy them (teachers) to
teach exactly what I hire them to
teach, and the same _ with
politicians.” The crowd respond-

ed enthusiastically with shouts of

“Right!” and loud applause.

Butler drew links between
the Fabian Socialist-dominated
London School of Economics,
which Trudeau attended, and
Conservative finance minister
John Crosbie.

“How many people realize

he’s one of those people
himself? Even a _ Conser-
vative....”

Butler also said Harold
MacMillan revealed himself to
be a Fabian Socialist after he
retired as British prime minister.

Butler addressed

himself to issues in the upcoming

federal election.

“Please, please do not
believe this hoax that we have an
energy shortage,” he told the
crowd.

“You people in Alberta are
living proof of that.” He said
Albertans frequently hit gas
when they are digging for water
and told the crowd, “There are
more oil reserves in the Tar

-Sands than in the entire Middle

East.”

should remember that he is
dealing with students who seek
a good and useful education,
and not the Kiwanis Club of
Edmonton.

To. their credit, the slate
avoids the long list of “ex-
perience”, but they don’t use
this space to make meaningful
political or election statements,
such as on the cutbacks issue.

Nonetheless, one of these
slates will win the election, or
some combination of slate
members and independents will
constitute next ‘year’s ex-
ecutive.

With little to distinguish
between then, these two slates
will “fight it out” at tomorrow’s
SUB Theatre forum on the
important issues they have
outlined. Do you think you'll
be able to make a meaningful
decision on which slate to
support based on their cam-
paigning? Do you care? I expect
the answer would be “no” to
‘both questions.

These two slates make
student politics a farce. I don’t
mean politics in any “radical”
sort of way, but merely in the

page 1

He also revealed a list of
demands for election candidates.
These included an immediate 10
per cent cut in federal taxation,
reintroduction of capital punish-
ment, rescinding of gun control
and metrication legislation,
quota system of immigration,
and a stop to the compulsory
bilingualism program.

“Our children are worth
saving from the disease that’s
sweeping the land,” Butler con-
cluded. “They’re not going to
thank us for what we’ve done;

“they're going to damn us’ for

what we’ve not done.”

could be a viable body that
interests and involves its
members. But with
Thorkelson, (who said in an
interview Sunday that he would
like the U of A to become the
“Harvard of the West”) and
Astley (who lists his
membership in the Alberta
Legislative Press Gallery as
experience) as the only two
presidential candidates, apathy
and cynicism will flourish with
great rapidity.

I suggest that all voters
examine the platforms of the
independent candidates, for
they at least are not involved in
a gigantic scam. They stand on
their policy and not behind
their slates.

But I don’t blame anyone
if he or she isn’t interested in the

SON SLATE

Essential to the smooth
running of Students’ Union is
effective financial planning and
management. Thus arises the
a competent and
responsible VP Finance.

As only 12% ($600,000) of

the proposed $5 million budget is

provided through student fees, a
primary concern is to ensure that

our businesses are profitable.

For instance, SUB Theatre’s
operations must be revised to
prevent a recurrence of this
year’s $60,000 deficit. By max-
imizing available funds,
Students’ Union will be able to
increase and enhance its present
situation.

Since clubs are an impor-
tant means of providing student
unity and identity, a policy for
more and more equitable club
funding should be pursued.

With an eye on the future,
funds should be “earmarked” for
major capital projects (i.e: SUB

The Students’ Union has a
very definite role to play in the
University community end in
society as a whole. It must
provide services to its members
and leadership to students on
issues concerning them. In the
past executives have often over-
emphasized one or the other of
these areas. The current ex-
ecutive for example has tended
to stress internal concerns to the
detriment of those external..The
Astley slate will strive to ac¥Eve
a balance between the internal
and external areas. This process
will lead us into many new areas
and approaches.

We will provide leadership
in the ongoing debate with the
provincial government over in-
creasing tuition: fees, accessibili-
ty and inadequate funding. In
addition however we will work to
improve the general administra-
tion of the students- union
especially in the area of club
grants. We will look towards the
establishment of long-term
financial plans for the Students’
Union so that projects ae
implemented on a_ scheduléd
basis. We will also work on an
out-reach program for new
international students.

The Astley slate is ex-
perienced and will provide the
balanced open leadership that is
needed in the Students’ Union ...

stresses university unity and a
better community identity. The
board is an effective forum to
further these two goals.

A governor is a trustee

Universities Act, the board has
management and control of the
institution, its property, revenue,
and business affairs. The board
must protect the values of in-
tellectual fulfillment and foster
an academic atmosphere. It is a
position of governance and trust.

Roller rock

A CJSR-sponsored roller
rock concert Friday night raised
over $2,100 for the Students’
Union refugee family. °

Live Roller Rock drew in
over 650 paying customers who
boogied the night away — and
paid $5.00 each to roller skate to
P.J. Burton and the Smarties
and Silent Movies.

“They ran out of skates,”
said CJSR organizer Doug
Matthews. “It was a resounding

-success.” i ¥

Matthews. said . sponsors
expected only about 300 people
to attend, but last-minute ticket
sales pushed attendance over the
top.

The event, which started at
12:30 a.m., lasted till past 4:00
a.m. “This proves that Edmon-
ton really does have a night life,”
Matthews said.

“It was such a success that
instead of expanding the radio
station, we’re going to cover the
courtyard and install a
rollerskating surface,” he joked.

Matthews said the radio
station was able to donate almost
all gate revenues to the refugee

family because of volunteer help

from over 30 members of the
radio station and the refugee
committee.

Ticket outlets sold the
tickets without charge and the
bands did not charge for their
services.

“Our only overhead was

"Something funny about those guys

by Portia Priegert

First there was CRAP. Then the
Democrats tries to liberalize everything.

Win or lose (mostly lose), joke
slates have become a university tradi-
tion. ;

Some are in it for laughs, some out
of frustration, and some claim they’re
a serious ones, and everyone else is the
joke.

But whatever the reason, joke slates
have provided SU elections with some
of their funniest moments and have
attacked student apathy’at its source —
students. (It’s rumored that law students

_ turn out en masse to vote for joke slates,

and that’s really saying something.)
The origin of joke slates is shroud-
ed in mystery. This reporter scanned
back issues of the Gateway until 1936
without discovering the germinal joke.
SU_ election candidates took
themselves pretty seriously in the 1930s,
40s and 50s and even more seriously
(though in a much different way) in the

But for some strange reason the
1970s spawned a lot of joke candidates.

1975 heralded the appearance of
the first presidential prankster. His
name was Wayne Chase, but his game
was anyone’s guess.

In his Gateway election blurb he
outlined past positions he had held
including vertical, horizontal and obli-
que. He had also served on the Com-
mittee to Feed the Cats While Their
Owners are on Vacation and the
Subcommittee to Study the Activities of
the Standing Committee appointed by
the Ad Hoc Committee of the Original
Committee.

And his campaign promises were
no more modest. They included printing
and distributing $400,000,000 in twen-
ties creating massage parlours in Fine
Arts. His platform, he said, was “a
wooden structure built chiefly of two
by-fours. E

“Capability. Reliability.
Accessibility. Personality. ‘In other
words, CRAP.”

But the Conceptual Reality Alter-
native Party (CRAP) had other things
going for them in their 1977 campaign.

Led by Napoleon look-alike Rene
Le Larke, they.gave the victorious
Spark slate a run for their money.

Milfred Campbell, candidate for vp
academic, who had boasted that his
intake of beer could exceed 48 ounces
per hour, rallied within 11 votes of his
“serious” opponent.

But, heck, winning isn’t everything.
And for the joke candidates it’s next to
nothing.

And finally, there were the Liberal
Democrats (circa February 1979).

Contesting the presidency was
Fraternity, who popularized the elec-
tion slogan platitudes without action
and said he would only promise to
deliver what everyone else had already
done.

Dressed in a toga, he and _his
cohorts Liberty, Justice, Equality and
Vote for Me campaigned vigorously on
a platform so ambiguous that it could
put the upcoming federal election
candidates to shame.

__ If elected the Liberal Democrats
said they would take office and “begin to

make their policies flower into full scale

problems in a competent and capable
and accessible manner by working
together.”

Other proposals included
providing a university education to
everyone, even to those who have no
interest in learning, placing HUB onend
and heating it with hot air from the
political science department and im-
plementing courses. in Suburban
Guerilla Warfare.

The Liberal Democrats didn’t win,
but they did make a strong first-ballot
showing at most polling stations.

Fraternity

No joke candidates are running in
this week’s Students’ Union election,
though attempts were made to pull a
slate together.

That’s unfortunate because joke
candidates, unlike many of their
“serious” opponents, serve a valuable
purpose.

Not only do they promote student
interest in the election, but by satarizing
the election and the candidates, they
increase awareness of their weaknesses.

And in an election like this, that’s
something we really need.

It’s only the Emperor’s new clothes

Movie review by Gord Turtle

Eraserhead 1s tor eraserheads.

Directed by David Lynch, Eraserhead is the latest
craze, a “cult film” shot in black and white that
pretends to study alienation in post-industrial society.
Some have called it a sleeper; I call it a yawner.

The Journal film reviewer John Dodd, in the
biggest piece of garbage to appear in that paper for
years, (excepting Olive Elliot’s column), reviewed the
film and found it intense, horrifying, brilliant, and
provocative. While a bit of suspense was accidentally
worked into this most egotistic movie, I cannot for the
‘life of me discern where anything approaching
intelligence came near the creation of the film.”

Simply put, Eraserhead is the emperor’s newest
set of clothes. Dodd describes it as the personal vision
of the director, and the film is indeed the product of
one person’s imagination. But that does not make it

- worth seeing: everyone has visions, but it takes some

importance to make the vision worthwhile to others.
Eraserhead has little importance and absolutely
nothing to say.

If I want vision, I’ll stay home on Good Friday
and watch The Robe on TV. I don’t want whining and

artsy, anti-art filler from a director who includes the
grossest and most grotesque images he can conjure up
in his film, as did Lynch. It’s a dreadful mistake to
confuse the grotesque with the meaningful, and the
ugly people and decrepit beings in Eraserhead are as
gratuitous as the blood in Dirty Harry, and equally
relevant to the film.

The movie makes little sense. Henry Spencer,
ostensibly a social outcast because of his appearance
and introverted personality, finds he is forced to marry
his girlfriend because she has given birth to what could
be a child. The marriage fails because the wife cannot

cope with raising a child in Henry’s one-room

apartment, and Henry is left holding the bag.

. The term bag aptly describes their offspring. It
resembles a calf. with no arms or legs, with its
torso wrapped in bandages. It also seems to have an
adult consciousness, as evidenced in the scene where’
the baby laughingly mocks Henry after his un-
successful attempt to seduce his attractive neighbor.
His latigh is the most normal thing in the movie: any
frat member has heard the same laugh ona Sunday
morning after an “unsuccessful” Saturday night.

Throughout the movie, Spencer embarks on

mental journeys through his radiator (yes, his
radiator), where he encounters a strange music hall
singer, loses his head, and has his brain made into top
quality erasers.

Now of course, the truly perceptive viewer will see

-all of this as caustic satire and bitter social comment,

while the doughhead conventional wimps like myself
will dismiss the film immediately. And it is here the
problem begins.

How much longer will eraserheads like Lynch
continue to make films like this and expect serious:
response? How many people like John Dodd will
swallow it whole, and assume it’s art? If a work of art is
so elitist that it only reaches a small handful of viewers,
then it’s virtually meaningless.

I’m not saying that Eraserhead is so intelligent that
its meaning will go over audiences’ heads. The movie is
a vacuous, pretentious collage of ugliness, possessing
absolutely no intellectual or artistic virtue. It’s trendy,
and its appeal is directed at sophomoric arts students

‘who spend their spare time redesigning their beards

(thanks Lol and Kevin for that one).
I hope all others will see it for what it is, and
quickly erase it from their minds.

This poet sounds like just another mouth

Book review by Candy Fertile ;

George Bowering does not, as the back cover of
Another Mouth says, address “the events of everyday
life with a sensibility ‘so razor-sharp and fiercely
imaginative that the mundane is rendered marvellous.”
The mundane remains the mundane and calling some
of the (poems?) mundane is rather generous.

Consider a poem that consists of the line “J see the
light in my eyes” repeated nine times followed by “see
blue.” Or the poem “Mais Le Rien Perce”: “Come over
here/atomic holocaust/I want to/stick it in you/....
./Ah, yes] that feels so good/do it again/like that,
funnyface.” Or: “A bouquet of peckers for you my
dear./ What you say?/I say smell that, ain’t they got/a
lovely bouquet?/ What you say dear I can’t hear you
something/about love?/ Yeah honey, here’s some
flowers.”

There are some glimmers of ability in the two long
poems of the collection. “Old Standards” is about lost
and found love; “Poundmaker” allows the speaker to
worry about Indians. These two poems are interesting
because there is more to grasp than in the shorter
poems but they are ultimately unrewarding ex-

-periences. Both are confusing and the forms give the
reader no help in his reading. The problems of the short
poems are compounded in the longer ones. Conception
and execution are blurred beyond comprehension.

‘Between the two long poems are a group of poems

contrast the effects of war. Bomb shelters and bullet
holes co-exist with factories and fancy cars. “Nearing

impressions on approaching England from France.

Grisman has no trouble w

Concert review by Allan Luyckfassel
David Grisman and his Quintet performed to a
sold out audience at SUB Theatre last Thursday night.
His music was like a cool breeze on a hot, summer day
and it’s hard to think that anyone could not have
enjoyed the new and refreshing sounds of the “Dawg.”
‘Grisman, the leader and main composer of the
- Quintet, was the emcee for the evening, introducing the
songs and group members with a charming, sly sense of
humor. And he did play his mandolin, delighting an’
audience who were equally delighted at the virtuosity
of his colleagues. :
It was nice to see a band perform without ego
problems. Each member had his chance to solo and
' when not soloing was busy comping behind the others.
Two long standing members of the group Todd
Phillips on bass, and Tony Rice on guitar, were not
present, but their places have been amply filled by Rob
Wasserman and Mark .O’Connor (a-young musician
extremely gifted on flatpick guitar and fiddle).
Filling out the Quintet and providing an excellent
foil for Grisman, was Mike Marshall on- second
mandolin and fiddle. The fifth member of the group was
fiddler Darol Anger who proved his merit in a fiddle
duet with Mark O’Connor that spanned several forms
of music. The empathy between the musicians was
amazing: they obviously enjoyed each other’s playing.
Grisman and band mainly played compositions:
from the last two Grisman albums. Each member
showed off their own compositions, and a delightful
‘surprise was Rob Wasserman’s variation of Eddie
Harris’s “Freedom Jazz Dance” which he called
“Freedom Bass Dance.”
David Grisman’s music defies categorization so he

There are eight poems about different places in
Canada and different feelings about what it is to be a
Canadian. Calgary is criticized and disliked while
Toronto is criticised and loved.-It is again difficult to
see any coherence in these poems.

The rest of the poems are on various topics and in
different styles. “A Poem for High School
Anthologies” considers the importance of poetry
versus the silliness or futility of trying to teach it. The
poem’s speaker questions the meaning and placement
of words. “Now you may ask yourself, what / does that
symbolize, & as a matter of fact/ why does the author
say what/at the end of the line.” If only Bowering had

combined form and content so well in the rest of the

poems. we

The last item in the collection is not a poem but “A
Transcanada Poetry Quiz with no Questions About
Snow.” There are ten multiple choice questions
complete with answers. The questions are serious: the
answers range from the correct to the ridiculous. For
example, number five asks what is the title of Atwood’s
first book. The choices are: a. The Circle Game, b. The
Saane Game, c. The Triangle Game and d. The Dating

ame.

Alberta mime to appear in SUB

SUB Theatre will be presenting two evenings of
Alberta Mime, February 7 & 8 at 8:00 p.m. Mime
Light, and the Arete Mime Troupe will be enacting the
ancient art of telling silent stories through gestures,
movements, masks and music.

The Arete Mime Troupe formed four years ago in
Calgary; is a highly versatile trio; Randy Birch, Kevin
McKendrick, and Don Spino. By combining ideas
from mask, acrobatics, magic, juggling, vaudeville,
clown and traditional pantomime, the audience is
treated to a high-quality performance that is both an
entertaining and understandable art form.

Mime-Light, a company of two — Marlane
Herklotz and Kenneth Noster — is based here in
Edmonton. Classics, folk-tales and original situation
comedies presented via use of mask, classic mime and
humorous original interpretation has won Mime-Light

the admiration of a wide audience, rangingfrom highly ~

discerning critics to school children.
Tickets for the performances are $5 for one show

classical and much more. Recently he has been playing
with violinist Stephane Grappelli and his music is very
close in sound and spirit to the original, innovative and
influential Stephane Grappelli/Django’ Rheinhardt
jazz group. The music is so catchy and melodic and

swings with such ferocity that it belies the technical

prowess and complex interplay that is going on

and the show at SUB proved these guys know what
they’re doing.

The Grisman concert was very special and
obviously he is connecting with his audience. His

All I can say about Grisman is, “Hot Dawg!”

This month the Students’ Union Art Gallery is pleased to display a :

a collection of photographs from two very different Canadian
photographers: Mattie Gunterman and Brian Wood.

Mattie Gunterman was one of the many pioneers who helped
settle the rugged interior of British Columbia during the 1890’s. Her
experience was partially recorded in her historical and sometimes
personal. photographs. Gunterman’s collection provides the viewer
with a rare and emotional insight into Canada’s colorful past.

On the other end of the spectrum stands Brian Wood, a native-
born Canadian artist now working in New York. Originally a painter
from Saskatchewan, Wood has applied his cubist style to his newly
acquired medium of photography. Not only has Wood found
imagery in the ordinary scenes around him but has reshaped it into a

U of A leaves BC in bubbles

by Karl Wilberg

‘the U of A sunk a highly

_tated UBC swim squad by a

narrow 144-141 margin. Coach
John Hogg was pleased with the
upset and in particular men-
tioned. good swims from Brant
DeBrisay. The womens team lost
142-125 to UBC, but still
managed “steady performances”
according to: Hogg.

Although the U of A’s
strength lies in long distance
events, DeBrisay picked up firsts
in the 200m and 400m freestyle.
In fact DeBrisay set anewclub
record for the 200 with a 1:45.4
time.

Hogg states the “U ‘of A
excelled in distance events” and
mentions Dwight Manning and

Other Alberta swimmers
did. well, Dave Long placed
second in the 200 butterfly and
the 200m freestyle. D. Cathro

also placed second in the
breastroke and the 50m
freestyle.

The womens team swam
well too and Hogg states many
put in best personal perfor-
mances. He adds UBC is known
for a strong team and
emphasizes the U of A “obvious-
ly had strong opposition.”

As usual Sandy Slavin
swam well winning the 800m
freestyle, the 400m IM and the
200m _ backstroke. Hogg adds
the“girls narrowly missed in the
retay events, but~ were not

outclassed.” The U of A women

-in fact won the 800m freestyle.

Bruce Lecky placed first and .

second respectively, in the
1600m freestyle. However, the U
of states Hogg, surprised UBC
by winning the 200m relay and
the 400IM relay. The U of A men’
also won the 800m relay that
proved to be the meet’s deter-
mining race. Hogg point out
that before the 800 the U oi A’s

- lead was one point, 142 to UBC's

141.

In total, the team is nicnane

ing for the Western finals and
can look at last weekend as a
warm up for the finals. It is
expected . UBC on home
ground, will be tough -at the
conference finals and the U of A
will have another difficult meet,
but not one without. an en-
couraging precedent.

UBC and U of A swimmers were almost this close at the finish.

The abuse some balls take.

When the Victoria
CWUAA volleyball tournament
was over last weekend, Hugh
Hoyle’s and Brian Watson’s

Bears were still in the same place.

The Bears went into the meet
tied, in the standings, with UBC.
However, the Bear’s third place
in Victoria failed to change their
rankings.

Hoyles was not too’ sur-
prised with the results and points
out the team’s problems have not
changed much either. Hoyles
credits the second place UBC
squad with being “a good tall
club” and says UBC’s 3-0 win
over the Bears evens the two
teams in tournament play this
season. ‘

Before their defeat the
Bears swept Friday’s series by
defeating the U of Lethbridge,
and the U of Calgary. Saturday
the U of Victoria was their next
and final victim.

The Bears’ winning streak
ended with the next two
matches, the first against the T-
Birds and the second with the
Huskies. Hoyles believes UBC
knew “they were in a situation
where they had.to beat us, to
hold second place. Conse-
quently,“their backs were up
against the” wall and the BC
squad * “got to us in a basic area”.

- The basic area was serve
reception, and Hoyles adds “our

serve reception went for a walk”.
In turn, the Bears were forced to
a high outside type of game that
prevents a quick attack relied on
by the Alberta club.

The Bears lost the match 3-0
and proceeded to play the UofS
where their serve reception
problems reappeared. Again the
Bears were forced high outside
and could not run a quick attack.

Still the league leading
Huskie’s margin of victory was
small, usually four points. In
addition, according to Hoyles,
the Bear’s Curt Blair played his
best tournament and lead the

squad in hitting, stuff blocks, and
serve reception. Blair a third
year man maintained a kill
average of 57%

y The next CIAU meet is in
Calgary and will, Hoyles
believes, be a fight for the league
first. place. This year the con-
ference winner and runner-up
will go to the national finals in
Saskatoon, but Hoyles is con-
vinced second place will not-be
enough for any team.

Before a February 22 and 23
CWUAA Calgary meet the
Bears will

and will be drilling more on its

Bink Bomk Bonk

by Dick Hancock

“The gang that couldn’t
shoot straight.”

It used to apply to the other
hockey team in town. However,
since the Oilers have come
around, the bug appears to have
found a home with the Golden
Bears hockey squad.

The Bears dropped a home
game to the Saskatchewan
Huskies on Sunday afternoon by
a 5-3 score even though the Bears
had the edge in both plays and
shots and could have wrapped it
up after forty minutes.

For the second Sunday ina
row the Bears puck luck was all
bad as they hit numerous
goalposts and missed open net
shots. Last weekend they had six
posts in a narrow 2-1 loss to
UBC while this Sunday three
blasts hit metal.

Bears’ coach Bill Moores
summed up the situation by

Senyk to tie the game at 3-3.
Just fifteen seconds later,
rookie Brad Schneider banged in
a rebound and _ then captain
Larry Riggin scored an_in-
surance marker as he drilled a
screened point shot past Senyk
at the 14:19 mark. Danny Ardnt

rounded out the scoring with a

pair of goals, the second into an
empty net with just 23 seconds to
play.

Huskies coach Dave King
said, “It was building.” in
reference to the three quick
goals. “The roof fell in at that
point although I didn’t think we
controlled enough of the game to
deserve to win anyway.”

Moores said that the play of
Schneider was one of the key
points of the victory. “It’s very
tough for a player, especially a
rookie, to move to a strange
position (from center to right

wing) and play well.”

All around the entire team
played a solid game right from
goaltender. Ted Poplawski on
out.

Saskatchewan got goals
from Desjardins, Allison and
Hlynysky. On Sunday the Bears’
scorers were Terry Sydoryk,

ha peg o,oud

Terry Lescisin and Joel Elliotts
while Hlynysky (with two) Hud- *

son, Desjardins and Bradshaw
tallied for the Huskies.

BEAR FACTS

The Bears were missing the
services of Ace Brimacombe on
Sunday as he dislocated a finger
in the Saturday game. He suited
up but didn’t see any action.

Next action for the Bears is
this weekend in Calgary. The
two game series may go a long

saying, “ You only get so many
chances to score and if you miss
them it’s only a matter of time
before the other team
capitalizes.” He said, “The loss
would have been easier to take if
we hadn’t played so well.”

It was not all bad news for
the Bears on the weekend however
as their 6-3 victory Saturday
afternoon combined with
Calgary’s split in their games-
against UBC kept the Green and
Gold in a tie for the first place
with the Dinosaurs.

In Saturday’s. game the
Bears were trailing 3-2 after forty
minutes but a three goal out-
burst in a span of 37 seconds
gave them the edge they needed
to win.

The individual star for the
Bears on Saturday was veteran
defenseman Bruce Rolin. As
well as playing a strong game in
the Bears’ end of the rink he also
scored a pair of goals to lead
them offensively.

Rolin’s second goal of the
game at 13:42 of the third period
started the Bears sudden out-
burst. He drove around: the
Huskies’ defense and lifted a
backhand over - sprawling
