Strachan wants university in home town

Banner furor at Queen’s by Ian Jack TORONTO (CUP) - Hundreds of Queen’s university students could be facing disciplinary action for sexist banners they displayed from their residence rooms.

The banners were put up to mock the Canadian Federation of Students “no means no” anti-date rape campaign. Slogans such as “No means tie me up,” “No means kick her in the teeth,” “No means harder,” and “No means dyke” appeared in residence windows during homecoming week this year.

“Three hundred to four hundred” of the posters were up by Thursday of Homecoming, Queen’s residence director Elspeth Baugh said. She ordered residence dons to direct students to take them down.

“The explicit violence in those slogans is very upsetting to me,” Baugh said. “They say they’re meant as jokes. It’s hard as a woman to read them and find any humour.”

Originally only about five posters went up, Baugh said. But on either Tuesday or Wednesday evening of Homecoming a group signing its work ROFF (Radically Obscene Fucking Feminists) spray painted “no means no” on the side of residence buildings.

“he group allegedly also tele- phoned threats to the men who

had put up the posters. They also wrote letters to the parents of the students, telling them what their sons had done.

“That,” Baugh said, “produced a huge reaction against this femi- nist group. The content ofmany of the posters by the end of the week was anti-feminist.”

Queen’s residence council is meeting to decide what action to take. I t can assess fines, force students to post bonds guarantee- ing good behanour, and recom- mend expulsion from residence.

“I hope Queen’s takes strong action against these students,” said CFS women’s officer Nancy MacDonald. “I’m outraged.”

Both MacDonald and Edith Garneau, Ontario Federation of Students chair, say the Queen’s reaction to the date rape campaign is unprecedented.

W e didn’t have any problem last year (when a similar cam- paign ran),” Garneau said. “I can’t believe you can find people like that at a university.”

Heather Allen, a vice presi- dent with the Queen’s student council, said the reaction on cam- pus to the posters was mixed, but “there were a lot of men and women who thought they were offensive.”

The student council is ‘hp- palled at the signs. Period,” Allen said .

by Rick Hiebert The new B.C. minister of

advanced education and job train- ing is a strong supporter of a northern university planned for his home town.

Bruce Strachan, the Socred MLAfor Prince George South, who became minister of advanced edu- cationin last Wednesday’s provin- cial cabinet shuffle, said the pro- posed Prince George university was ”very much” a personal and cabinet priority.

But the NDP is charging that the Socreds are trying to buy Stra- chan’s seat.

”I see i t as kind of a desperate attempt on the part of the govern- ment toretain Mr. Strachan’s seat and the reason for that is the very strong lobby group i n the north, the Interior University Society,” said Barry Jones, education critic andNDPMLAforBurnabyNorth.

“There were a lot of people at the Socred convention last month wearing ’university of the north’ buttons and it’s a party thing. I think it’s an important issue but certainly there are many other issues in post-secondary educa- tion, none of which I’ve seen Mr. Strachan take an interest in the past three years.”

I

Strachan, however, main- tained that a northern university has always been a personal goal.

“My number one priority is access to post-secondary educa- tion, particularly in the north,” he said. “The concept of the northern university is a priority for the government. It has a strong en- dorsement from the premier who has spoken on the idea.

“As for what they’re (the NDP) saying, it’s obvious that the Social Credit government selected me for the ministry to demon- strate its support for the northern university,” he said. “I have won three elections in 1979, ’83 and ’86 with sizable majorities as a lack- bencher and I don’t think a par- ticular cabinet portfolio or a uni- versity campus would be that much of a factor.”

Strachan said Prince George was “a logical location” for a new B.C. university. He said he had helped engineer provincial gov- ernment funding for the Interior University Society’s (IUS) studies into the proposal while in the environment portfolio in cabinet.

“Mr. Strachan and the society go back basically to the incorpora- tion of the society in 1977. He has been a strong advocate for the

northern university,” said IUS President Roy Stewart.

Stewart added the IUS had recently made a presentation to the provincial “Implementation and Planning Group“, a provincial task force.

“There have been some linger- ing questions about the ability of this university to survive,” he said.

Nevertheless, he said, the university could attract nearly 5,000 undergraduate and gradu- ate students. The northern uni- versity would attract students from two thirds of the province, “a catchment area of 310,000 people”, especially if they offered specialized research programs in regional specialties like forestry and transportation.

Canadian Federation of Stu- dents Pacific chair Pam Frache said her organization wants more public input into the proposal.

W e hope that the fact that (Strachan) was appointed doesn’t mean that the model being put forth for the university of the north is a fait accompli,” she said. She said the CFS will release a position paper addressing their concerns about the northern uni- versity in January.

Overflights disturb lnnu government and the Innu be- cause the government will only negotiate if the Innu rec- ognize their territory as Crown land. The Innu have refused, never having signed a treaty to cede the land upon which they have lived for over 9,000 years.

Gregori said the Innus are a peaceful people and would never raise arms against the military.

Currently, the subsonic jets, none of which are Cana- dian, mainly hail from the Netherlands, West Germany and Great Britain-countries that have successfully pres- sured their governments to rid themselves of the flights because of negative psycho- logical effects.

Barker insisted the Cana- dian government should lis- ten to the Innu. “It is the tyr- anny of the 51 percent over the 49 percent,” said Barker.

“The measure of democ- racy is the gentleness and justice with which one treats its smallest groups of people,” he added.

There are now plans for super-sonic jets, flying a t even lower levels in Labrador.

Gregori also said the number of military flights are expected to increase to 40,000 per season.

‘The Innus are facing genocide, and if not genocide then ethnocide,” said Barker.

We are working not teacher in El Salvador and mem- only with the urban population ber of the executive of ANDES, The Ubyssey asked Romero but also with people who have an organization of primary and several questions concerning been displaced because of the

secondary school teachers, education at the university level war. When I was working in the visited Canada last week in El Salvador: rural areas, there were raids by

cent bombinm that occurred on October 31 against COMADRES (an organization of Mothers of the Disappeared in El Salvador), in which four people were injured, and against FENAS- TRAS (a worker‘s union), which killed nine people and injured thirty others.

. She condemned the bombing of organizations working for bet- ter social conditions, and accused the death squads, covertly sanctioned by the Salvadoran government, as being responsible for these attacks. Romero said social conditions in El Salvador are much worse today, under the right-wing regime of Alfred0 Cristiani, than under the former president Jose Napoleon Duarte.

ARENA reversed the token land reforms undertaken by Du- arte, and turned the lands back to the former owners. She said the rights to coffee exports have been privatized, returning ownership to the old landowning class.

Duarte was incapable of dis- solving the death squads. Under the ARENA government the death squads believe they have the support of the government and have increased their opera- tions; there are more bombings, disappearances, and assassina- tions.

Education has always been neglected in El Salvador but more so today. Only 14 per cent of the national budget goes to education compared to the more than 50 per cent directed towards the military and the civil war. Illiteracy runs at about 60 per cent in El Salvador; Very little money is allocated for school supplies, many schools lack the basic materials needed

El Salvador not even to study in Guatemala which is right beside it.

Ubyssey: Do the people in the rural areas have much of a chance to attend universities in El Salvador?

There are military barricades in all the entrances of the Universidad Nacional; they are there to check the knapsacks of every student going in or out.

Romero: No, they are the least likely to have a chance. Illiteracy which runs at 60% is most accentuated in the rural areas. On the other hand, out of 100 students that enter grade school only eight will go into high school in these areas, and in all of Salvador only 1.5 per cent of the student population graduate from high school. That means

which is called Boletin UPRES (the initials stand for university press) It comes out in weekly is- sues and covers a wide variety of news such as cultural, repressive and academic news. The editors of these newspapers are some- times intimidated and harassed, for example, four or five months ago, some students that worked for the paper “disappeared.”

Ubyssey: Perhaps we could finalize this interview with some of your comments about the or- ganization to which you belong to.

Romero: The organization to which I belong has 24 years of existence, its main objectives are to fight for better living stan- dards of teachers, for access to education by students and to fight for an education which pro- motes liberty in society. It has not only fought for students and teachers, but for all members of society, for example, solidarit,y with campesino and worker or- ganizations in order to try to bet- ter the well being of these sectors in society. Because of this, ou:r organization (ANDES, organiza- tion of teachers of primary and secondary level) has been har- assed and intimidated by the government. So far we have had 350 teachers assassinated which belonged to our organization and more that 80 teachers have dis- appeared. Just this year we have had two of our colleagues assas- sinated. With this remession the

New minister viewed with caution -

by Rick Hiebert B.C.'s new minister of ad-

vanced education and job training is being welcomed cautiously by l o c a l critics.

William Bruce Strachan, the Socred MLA for Prince George South who became the new minis- ter in last Wednesday's provincial cabinet shuffle, may have large shoes to fill, according to Barry

Mr. Strachan show any interest in the last three years."

'Well I guess I'm disap- pointed in the sense that we have finally embarked on a process of reversing the cutbacks and inade- quacies in post-secondary educa- tion under Stan Hagen(the former mininster) and I think Mr. Hagen was a strong advocate for post- secondary education," he said.

Strachan, who has been a MLA since 1979 is a former chair of the Prince George school board. He was also the public relation s officer for the Prince George based College of New Caledonia from 1973 to 1977.

'When I entered the ministry, itwasinverygoodshape.Stanhad done a very good job," he said. "I met with the presidents of the

Hagen leave that particular cabi- net portfolio because we think he's doneanamazingjobinthelastfew years given the many obstacles that he's been faced with."

Alma Mater Society director of external affairs Vanessa Geary hoped the appointment did not

mean a significant change in policy.

"I hope that the appointment of the new minister does not mark a step backward in the govern- ment's post-secondary education agenda," she said. 'With Stan Hagen as minister we saw an in- crease in funding on post-secon- dary education and it is crucial that the new minister realizes that this trend must continue if B.C's education is to be truly accessible and competitive."

Time is running out Christianity has long been a front for

hatred. This past weekend yet another group has used The Bible to bash a segment of our so- ciety.

Full page ads condemning the 1990 Gay Games were placed in both The Province and The Vancouver Sun by a group claiming to be “Christian leaders wholive in GreaterVancou- ver and love this city and its people.”

Christian leaders in Vancouver’s churches have resoundingly condemned the ad.

Yes, time is running out. And so is our tolerance of homophobic propaganda spread by so-called Christian organizations seeking to incite hatred towards some because of their sexual orientation.

Was the $15,000 price of the ads worth having Southam press associated with the intolerant Christians who selectively quote .dm The Bible?

Strangway ignores animal rights

Re: UBC Kitten Killers To date, 7,008 postcards have

been delivered to your office in protest over the inhumane, scien- tifically-fallacious blinding of kit- tens and cats. Hundreds more postcards have been mailed di- rectly to you from concerned people who are being forced to fund this vivisection through taxes.

On August 2nd, Mrs. Dorothy Hayward, Senior Ombudsman Officer, informed us that you had two draft letters and that you would send to us the letter which best represented your position. We have been waiting for the let- ter. However, Mrs. Hayward has now advised us that UBC "...will not reply" to our letters.

It is our position that peer- review process, various in-house committees and groups such as the SPCA fail to adequately pro- tect animals and people from the harmful medical fraud of vivisec- tion. This is evident in the CCAC inspection report of May 1988 which revealed that UBC had failed to comply with CCAC rec- ommendations to make improve- ments since the last CCAC inspec- tion of VGH facilities in 1985.

We hope that you will re- evaluate your decision and take the position that UBC will be an- swerable to concerned people and toindependent assessment ofyour procedures and practices by or- ganizations such as Lifeforce.

UBC vivisectors must not be allowed to sit in their ivory towers and censor us from exposing their Nazi-type vivisection. If UBC researchers believe they can de-

A wee history lesson

I would like to point out to Michael Booth ("Gorbachev's glasnost," Oct 24) that the allied powers were actually quite busy when the Soviets "gobbled up" the Baltic States. On the same day that Russian troops moved into Lithuania, in fact, the Reich flag was raised over Versailles. Two days earlier, two million Parisians had fled southwardas the German Army approached. On June 17,

when the USSR sent troops into Estonia and Latvia, Churchill delivered his"FinestHour"speech on British radio; the British Expe- ditior,sry Force had been driven off the beaches of Dunkirk just two weeks before. Indeed, Blitzkrieg had laid low the Low Countries roughly three weeks before, while in July, Germany began daylight bombingraidson London. I would suggest that the expression "stood idly by" does not accurately de- scribe the allied situation in June, 1940. Britain and France were somewhat less able to help the Baltic States at that time than when the Nazis and the Soviets partitioned Poland in October, 1939, or when the USSR annexed the Karelian Isthmus in March, 1940.

UBC Soccer team heads to national playoffs undefeated. LUIS PIEDMONT PHOTO

All-Canadians run by Myron Neville

West Coast running condi- tions were ideal for Canadian uni- versity cross-country athletes this weekend as UBC played host to the CIAU cross-country champi- onships.

UBCmen’s varsity team hung on to a third-place finish under competitive conditions with Allan Massen(5th) winning All-Cana- dian status.

The 26th annual team title was captured by the undefeated University of Manitoba with 41 points compared to UBC’s 78.

UBC women’s varsity team narrowly missed a similar bronze medal performance by two points, placing fourth over the soft and

spongy 5km course. T-Bird Meghan O’Brian managed to work her way into fifth overall and an All-Canadian ranking.

The defending women’s na- tional champions from the Univer- sity of Western Ontario overpow- ered their opposition to win the 10th annual race. Their final team score was a mere 40 points. UBC‘s was 91.

The men’s race over a grassy, rain-sodden lOkm course got un- der way with eventual winner Richard Charette of Ottawa near the front of a lead pack of ten runners.

Charette was followed closely by Canada-West winner Chris Weber of Manitoba, Colin Dignum of Queens, and UBC’s Allen Klas-

sen among others. Turning back all challengers Charette was not to be denied, finishing in a time of 3054.

The women’s race was a shoot-out with Dalhousie’s Lucy Smith issuing the challenge to all- comers. On this particular day the defending women’s champion was unbeatable churning over the 5km course to a winning time of 16:45.

Smith pulled along such run- ners as three-time all-Canadian ace Jill Purola of Western Ontario(3rd), and Canada West champion Robyn Meager of Victoria(2nd). Putting in a deter- mined effort, O’Brian moved through the struggling pack, knocking off runner after runner to earn her all-Canadian ranking.

lcebirds sliding from playoffs by Michael Booth

The Thunderbird hockey team ventured into the wilds of Winnipeg on the weekend and were handed a pair of losses by the hostile denizens of the University of Manitoba.

After a heartbreaking 6-5 overtime loss on Friday night, the ‘Birds came out flat Saturday and were hammered 10-2 by the home- town Bisons.

In Friday’s game, the ‘Birds grabbed a n early goal before fall- ingbehindbyacoupleofgoa1s.The ‘Birds would not be denied and tied the score to force overtime.

In the overtime session, as it

has been all season, the puck did not bounce the ‘Birds way. UBC goaltender Ray Woodley, despite a strong game, was burned when the puck deflected onto a Bison’s stick and into the net.

Woodley kicked the shot out, ithit the defenseman’s helmet and right onto Boudin’s stick,” UBC head coach Terry O’Malley said.

Boudin made no mistake in potting the winner and the ‘Birds suddenly found themselves win- less in five games.

On Saturday night, the ‘Birds picked up a one goal lead and then the roof fell in.

W e were up 1-0, they scored a couple of quick goals and it dete-

riorated from there,” O’Malley said, adding that Manitoba’s quickness caught the UBC de- fense flat footed.

O’Malleyrefused toaccept the defeats as a fair accounting of his teams capabilities and acknowl- edges that the ‘Birds must win soon if they are to have any hope of being a part of the Canada West playoff picture.

W e have to make our own breaks to get back into the hunt,” O’Malley said.

The losses drops the UBC record to 1-6-1 as they prepare to play the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns this Saturday and Sunday.

so close by Michael Booth

Four points. Fourlousy,stinkingbutohsopreciouspointswasall thatkept

the Thunderbird football squadfrom defeating their third straight nationally ranked opponent.

So they lost and were eliminated the playoffs. They lost a game but have no reason to be ashamed in their defeat.

This is a team that, had the pundits been correct at the beginning of the season, would have finished fourth and out of the play-offs. What they forgot to account for was heart, pride and an outstanding job by the UBC coaching staff.

When the season began, the T-Birds had more of their previ- ous year’s starters to replace than any other team on their schedule. The coaching staff faced the task of replacing an out- standing quarterback (Jordan Gagner), a star running back(Matt Pierce), and the nation’s leading scorer (Mike Bellefontaine).

The quality of the players the T-Birds lost is further reflected in the fact that Bellefontaine playing with the B.C. Lions and Pierce is wearing Blue Bomber blue and gold. In total, the T-Birds were faced with replacing 11 starters; six on offense and five on defense. They would be playing teams such as the Universities of Alberta, Calgary, and Saskatchewan who didn’t lose six starters between them. All three teams were rankedin the top ten nation- ally when the season began.

Thefact that theT-Birdsfinishedin secondplacein testimony enough to the coaching staff. The team was carried a long way on hear t and desire but will still need a seri- ous infu- sion of tal- ent and a m o r e settled de- fensive ap- proach if they hope to capture the Vanier Cup in the near future.

The loss of Pierce was adequately filled by third-year running back Jim Stewart. Stewart rolled up 1257 yards along the ground in ten games and last week was named the Canada West nominee for the Hec Creighton trophy as the most outstanding collegiate football player in the country.

The T-Birds offense averaged 25.3 points and 420 yards a game but their achilles heel was a lack of depth and an inexperi- enced and mistake prone defense that was systematically picked apart by Saskatchewan on two occasions and by Calgary once.

Their lack of depth was made apparent when, in the most important game of the year, Stewart got hurt and nobody was there to step in and do the job. Instead, the load fell on the inexperienced shoulders of freshman Lee Thorpe.

Throughout the year, the coaching staff was continually rebuilding the offensive line as i t was struck with a series of injuries and departures. By the end of the year, only two players of the offensive line had played the entire year in the same pos~t~on.

On the defensive side of the ball, the T-Birds spent the year trying to learn the new defensive scheme introduced by new coach Adam Rita. There was steady improvement made by some -Dean Heffring springs to mind -and the early return of Doug Shoreman from injury helped the defense considerably. Unfortunately, the T- Birds took more than one pounding before they jelled in time for their remarkable playoff drive.

The Canada West schedule worked in the T-Birds’ favour as they were fortunate to play the Sadsackuniversity of Manitoba Bisons twice during their mid-season identity crisis. One can only wonder what would have happened if they had played Alberta or Calgary during that stretch. I doubt they would have beaten eikher of those teams 11 - 9 at that point.

The future could be bright for the team though as only four starters used up their eligibility this year. The defense should be more familiar and comfortable with Rita’s schemes and the second and third year players could be ready to make an impact.

There is a lot less rebuilding to do for next year and, with conference rivals losing large chunks of their rosters to gradu- ation, things could be pretty rosy at the south end of campus for several seasons to come. Unless of course, another team adopts their spoiler role next year ...

Underdogs outmaneuvered in playoffs, come up 4 points short by Michael Booth

The underdog UBC football team came within four points of defeating the top ranked Uni- versity of Saskatchewan Hus- kies before falling 22-18 in the Hardy Cup final in Saskatoon Saturday.

‘We had a lot of opportuni- ties but unfortunately we didn’t win the game,” said UBC head coach Frank Smith.

The Thunderbirds came

into the game after securing second place in the Canada West conference through back-to- back upset victories over the Universities of Alberta and Cal- gary.

The game wasevenlyplayed with no team establishing a dis- tinct edge until the Husky’s Ed Carlton hit T-Bird running back and Hec Creighton trophy candi- date Jim Stewart with a vicious shot half way through the third

quarter. “It was a blatant spear,”

Smith said. “Jim was lying on the ground after the whistle and he was speared in the chest with a late hit.”

To add insult to injury, Carlton was not penalized on the

Stewart did not return to ac- tion for the rest of the game and the T-Birds were forced to use freshman runner Lee Thorpe for

the rest of the game. Prior to Stewart’s injury, the

T-Birds had been able to use a good mix of running and passing plays. With Stewart out, the run- ning game suffered and the Hus- kies were able to put more pres- sure on UBC quarterback Doug Lynch.

Lynch had only an average day, completing 16 of33 attempts for 268 yards. His favorite target on the afternoon was fifth-year

wide receiver Craig Keller, who hauled in six passes for 107 yards.

In the end though, injuries and turnovers hurt the T-Birds the most as they turned the ball over four times, including two interceptions while deep in Sas- katchewan territory.

The win was the first ever playoff victory in Husky history, and they will now play Queens University for the right to travel to the Vanier Cup in Toronto.
