Committeecreatescontrovery

Council has stuck to tradition:the Renovations Committee 's rec -ommendations have again createdcontroversy within the AMS .

InFebruaryof this year, coun -cil decided to re-allocate the Dressfor Less space to service organiza-tions. The renovations committeewas set up to deal with the plansfor the space and to decide whowould get the new offices in th eSUB concourse .

On June 20 council membersof the Global Development Centeraccused two members of the Reno -vations Committee of bias becausethe GDC did not receive space .

The four other organization swhich applied for and receive dspace are the Ombuds Office,Speakeasy, the Disabled StudentAssociation, and the Studen tEnvironment Center.

The GDC made a presenta-tion which criticized the renova-tions committee's procedureswhich gave all groups only fiveminutes to present their cases .

The GDC claimed that theywere not given adequate time togive their presentation and werecut off, while the Renovation sCommittee stated that the GDCwere given five minutes becausethey constituted one group eve nthough they are an umbrellagroup representing several clubsand student organizations.

Hai V. Le, speaking for theGDC, alleged that both JohannaWickie and Roma Gopaul-Singhwere biased and had decided whowould receive space before theRenovations Committee even met .

" (I) felt that we were underattack from the beginning of themeeting," said one member of theGDC who spoke in council .

In their own defence, Wickie

and Gopaul-Singh also allege dthat director of administrationJohn Lipscomb was biased be-cause he is a member of the GDC .He was the only member of theRenovation Committee to voteagainst the four office plan whichdid not allow for space for th eGDC .

When asked how he re-spondedto the allegations of bein gbiased because he is a member ofthe GDC as well as being on theRenovations Committee,Lipscomb said "I do not think thatconflict of interest applies withinan organization. It would apply i fthere was a competing, externa lorganization involved, or if therewas some personal pay back t omyself. And in this case there i snone . "

In a report to student council ,Gopaul-Singh said "my reason fornot putting the GDC in that spaceis that they have only been in exis -tence for two months now and Iwould like to see something fromthem before they receive thi sprime space. As a service organi-zation they receive an office an dthis, in itself, is a privilege ."

Because of the nature of theaccusations, Gopaul-Singh offeredto resign as chair of the Renova-tions Committee, but she decide dto stay after AMS president KurtPreinsperg had council vote toexpress their confidence in her a schair .

Council voted last night t osend the four office plan to Cam -pus Planning, which must ap-prove of all renovations and build-ing on campus .

"If we approve the five officeplan in Council, it will then go toCampus Planning and we willdecide who will get the space fromthere," said Gopaul-Singh yester-day .

Sex, drugs, and broken bones1

Are prescription drugs tooexpensive for your tight studentbudget? Does your health plancover hospital visits? The AMSstudents' council is investigatingways to provide UBC student swith a comprehensive healthplan.

"Health wise, students aren 'tbeing taken care of," said JohannaWickie, AMS vice president .Wickie will present a proposal fora comprehensive health plan from

the Canadian Federation of Stu -dents and The Mutual Life of Can -ada company to council on July 18 .

If council accepts this pro-posal, a referendum will be calle dfor early fall . UBC students willdecide not only if they want to payanadditional $33 for this plan, butalso iftheywant the plan extendedto cover accidental death or dis-memberment and eye care .

Students could join a familyplan for dependents or they coul dopt out of the plan all together, a slong as they provide "proof that

they are participating in a planwith equivalent coverage," shesaid .

The plan being proposed issimilar to ones now available atten universities across the coun-try, including the University ofVictoria. It includes an 80% costcoverage on prescription drugs fortwelve months, access to semi-pri -vate hospital rooms at no addedexpense, and limited vision care,all in addition to provincial healthcare programs .

Instead of having to pay cash

for each visit to the doctor, stu-dents would just show a member -ship card similar to the provincia lgovernment's "CareCard". Pre-scription purchases would requirethe user to pay 20% of the cost .

This system, a "pay-directsystem", costs far more than areimbursement system, but it in-volves far less paperwork . A reim-bursement system can be "anadministrative nightmare,"Wickie said .

And students find it easier toscrape up 20% of the money for a

prescription than to scrape up al lof the money and get reimburse dlater .

"Everybody has $4," she said ."Not everybody has $20. "

The plan would cover 80% ofthe cost of oral contraceptives .Women who usually buy oral con-traceptives would save enoughmoney in just a few months thatthe plan would pay for itself, shesaid.

But she did not yet know if th eplan would provide same sexspousal benefits .

by Rebecca Bisho pOne good thing that has com e

• out of the scandal about the Engi-neering Undergrad Society' snEUSlettre was the creation of theposition of anti-discriminationcoordinator.

The purpose of the position i sto study discrimination on cam -pus, and to find ways of dealingwith it.

Carol Hui, an active partici-pant in the Hate Hurts campaign ,was appointed to the position bythe students' council .

She said that UBC is not th eonly university having to copewith discrimination .

"THE UBC Engineers are not

• the only ones with this problem.The University of Alberta recentlyhad a problem with their engi-neers about discrimination . Theyhave been asking UBC what wehave been doing about it .

"Since other universities areturning to UBC for advice, i tseems that UBC is leading the wayin handling discrimination ."

Hui is presently dealing witha dilemma regarding the fine of$15,000 levied against the EUS bystudent court. The fine is supposedto cover the cost of the potlatch and

• the conference the EUS promise dto organize .

by Mark NielsenThe Fraser Valley could be -

come the home of a fourth univer-sity in B.C. by 1995 .

The university should be• large enough for 4,000 full-time

students and should be located i nAbbotsford, Langley or Surrey "toprovide optimum commuter ac-cess," according to a report re -leased June 4 by Bruce Strachan,Minister of Advanced Education,Training and Technology.

The report was written by thebaser Valley Access Committee ,which was made up of the presi-dents of Simon Fraser University,Douglas College, Kwantlen Col-lege and Fraser Valley College .

Strachan also announced thata consultation group will belaunched to gather public opinionon the subject .

The consultation group willhold public meetings throughoutthe summer and report back to th eMinistry in the fall .

President Strangway decide dthat the administration will notcollect the EUS's fees for the 1990/91 academic year, preventing thesociety from paying the fine .

"We cannot hold the potlatchor the conference until Strangwayreverses his decision," she said.

One other issue Hui has deal twith is adding a section in theAMS Code and Bylaws dealin gwith multiculturalism, humanrights, and harassment .

"The AMS has previouslybeen handling cases under thesection in the bylaws which givesthe AMS authority to deal withstudents' for any behaviourdeemed unbecoming to a memberof the society,'" she said.

Student Court has seen alarge increase in the number ofcases brought forward. Hui's in-tention is to change the code sothat it is more specific . Changes tothe code can be made by AMScouncil, but bylaws must bepassed in a referendum or at anannual general meeting .

Hui is also putting together apamphlet to be written by minor-ity groups.

"Two organizations I havecontacted are the Sikh StudentAssociation and Dykes Unlimited.It is a pamphlet that gives minor -

But the report fails to addressthe possibility of developing acurrent college into a university,according to Ed Lavalle, presiden tof the College-Institute EducatorsAssociation of B .C .

He said that such a model ,which adds degree-grantin gstatus to existing community col-leges, is considered to be morecost-effective and more commu-nity-responsive than the creationof a new and separate university.

Within the next five years ,Okanagan College, MalaspinaCollege and Cariboo College willbecome university-colleges .

Lavalle called FVC presidentPeter Jones's treatment of univer-sity-colleges in the report a s"superficial and an injustice to thepotential of Fraser Valley Collegeto become a degree completion in-stitution . "

Lavalle also attacked theprocess by which the report wa sdeveloped.

ity groups the opportunity tospeak up and relate their experi-ences. It gives them a chance todispel myths about their groups . "

"Its going to be distributed atBrock, Speakeasy, and the Regis-trar's Office . It is too late this year,but hopefully next year it can bedistributed in the registrationpackages telling new student sthat discrimination will not betolerated on campus . "

Hui's term ends Septembereighth, andone ofherconcerns hasbeen to seek funding to make theposition a permanent one.

"You cannot tackle discrimi-nation in sixteen weeks," she said ."We are hoping to extend the posi -tion so we can continue working ."

Hui has been looking for sup-port from the administration an dhas noted that the AMS is not theonly group looking into discrimi-nation on campus .

"In speaking with the multic-ultural-cultural liasons office i tseems that president Strangwayhas been planning a task force onrace relations," Hui explained. "Itwould be a great step to counterdiscrimination and an appropri-ate response to dealing with theEUS newsletter - if this task forcegets underway as soon as pos-sible . "

"The strong reaction tha tCanadians have had to the Meec hLake process indicates that thereis a healthy demand and respectfor the democratic principle ofparticipation by both those withexpertise and those who will beaffected by decisions that the gov-ernment makes," he said .

"The C-IEA would have pre-ferred the involvement of all con-stituencies in the college commu-nity and the public at large indeveloping this study."

But Jones said that the uni-versity-college option has notbeendiscounted completely.

"The concerns I expressedwere made in the appendix of thereport and are notconsidered tobepart of the report's recommenda-tions," he said.

Jones said that the recom-mendations were deliberatel ymade general to provide room forpublic discussion at the upcominghearings .

Going throughWhat has happened sip

Court findingsaccepted by counci l

Student court's findings re-garding the Engineering Under-graduate Society's nEUSlettre,which was accused of printingracist, sexist, and homophobi carticles, were accepted by AM Sstudents'council on April 4. NE-USlettre editor Martin Sykes wasfined $10 while the EUS itselfstands to be fined $15,000 . TheEUS fine, however, is dependen tupon Strangway reversing hi sdecision not to collect EUS fees .

Council also disassociated it -self from AMS president Kur tPreinsperg's comments to thepress questioning Student Court'sinvolvement and defending th enEUSlettre's freedom of speech . Apress release was not issued how-ever.

Council votes tochange election by-laws

The rules are changing. TheAMS students' council is hoping tochange the by-laws that governthe society's elections .

All those planning to run forAMS positions in the future willhave to have twenty nominator'ssignatures, rather than the tenpreviously required.

Candidates will also be able tospend more on their election cam-paigns with the limit being raise dfrom $125 to $150 . Reimburse-ment of this money by the AMSwill continue but will now be lim-ited to those who run for executivepositions .

Other by-laws introduced an daccepted at council included aconflict of interest guideline forcouncil members as directors ofthe society, changes to the regula-tions governing service organiza-tions to include a one year proba-tionary period, and an under -graduate publications policy tocreate a framework of responsibil-ity for undergrad publications .

Global Developmen tCentre created as anew serviceorganization

A new service organizationhas entered the limelight at UBC .At May's first student counci lmeeting the Global DevelopmentCentre was created as a new serv-ice organization, to inform stu-dents about development issues.

Students may get the bootfrom the Aquatic Centre manage-ment .

The UBC president's offic einformed the AMS in late Apri lthat it hopes to alter the AquaticCentre Management Committee .The university's changes wouldentail the president's office ap-pointing the chair of the commit -tee with the manager of the centrealso reporting to the office . Theexisting committee structure is anautonomous committee composedof representatives from both th eAMS and the university.

The AMS is presently negoti-ating with the university.

Committeeapplications lost

Applications for the student-at-large positions on the AMSbudget committee, except forthose of Anna Brown and CarolTremblay, were lost . To date nostudents-at-large have been ap-pointed as council postponed theappointment of students-at-larg eto the committee until applica-tions could be sought again.

Two council members, AlanPrice and Kelly Guggisberg, hav ebeen appointed to sit on the com-mittee along with the director offinance John Lipscomb and vice -president Johanna Wickie .

Hibernia heldhostage

Underneath the Atlantic, off the coast ofNewfoundland lies the Hibernia oil field .Hibernia contains enough oil to free Atlanti cCanada from poverty, enough to make theprovince ofNewfoundland a relatively wealth yprovince .

But now another body of water may blockaccess to economic prosperity—Meech Lake.

The urgency with which the federal gov-ernment pursued the completion of a deal wit hthe provincial legislature has disappearedalong with their zeal to approve a $2 .6 millioncontribution to the oil project development .

Many Newfoundlanders wonder if it wasjust a coincidence that the sudden halt in theprocess came so soon after their premier's de-cision not to hold a vote to ratify the MeechLake Accord . Is this Ottawa's way of punishingdissenting provinces?

The Quebec situation cannot be ignored ,yet the Meech Lake accord did not adequatelyaddress the problems of other Canadians suc has the Native peoples and Newfoundlanders .

The federal government is blatantly retali-ating against provinces who legally and justi-fiably opposed the accord.

The people of Newfoundland now mus tbear the consequences of Mulroney's failure t obe a Canadian hero.

The tactic of passing the buck to scapegoa tprovinces is dangerously divisive, promotin gmore regional disunity instead of trying to con-solidate confederation .

A time for healing indeed.

When I was younger,and first took things seri-ously, I thought an evangeli -cal was a sincere or activeChristian . In today's worldpeople usually think of anevangelical as a right-wingmiddle-class suburbanit ewith a scheduled spiritual-ity, a shallow personality,having little interest in theoutside world, and possess-ing a blind intolerance ofanything different.

Now that I'm in univer-sity, I struggle with thedoubts and uncertainties ofChristianity every day. Thedoubts would be much eas-ier to deal with if I didn'thave to deal with Chris-tians .

Unfortunately we don' tseem to be living up to ourown stan-dards.

These people are no -table because of a "some -thing" they have as Chris-tians that the rest of theworld does not. It would beimpossible to try to describehere what that is, as wordsdo not come close to encom -passing it fully . Call it zeal ,piety, focus, purpose, un-worldliness, holiness .

The Church should notbe a comfortable cloister forpeople of like minds to hideaway in . It should be acentre from which its mem-bers can affect the worl daround them. Christianitybegan as a counter-culturalfringe group . In that time i twas the most effective . TheChurch today has forgottenits roots and the power itpossessed. Christians havelost sight of one of their mostimportant missions: toawaken mainstream cul-ture to its corruptness, it sselfishness, and its materi-alism in short social action.

Oils ooze thepassion

CuriousGeorgeon fireat theLux

Besides providing audience swith pearls of Survival knowl-edge, Cu r ious George has to bethe best of the new punk roc kbands that have emerged on th eVancouver music scene in th elast few years . They play fast ,hard-hitting music .

Mixing ideas with humou r ,irreverence and a touch o flunacy, Curious George create slive shows of pur e energy . TheirJuly 1st show was no exception .

For an all ages show it wa ssurprising how many peopleshowed up at one o ' clock in th emorning. Sur prising until on esaw the show. Curious George'sset was fast and furious. Whatwas really impressive abou tthese guys was the amount o ffun they seemed to be having .And it was infectious . The yenjoyed their music but didn ' ttake the whole thing too seri-ously . They wanted a good tim eand delivered it as well .

The energy during "Cana-dian National Front", the band' sattack on skinheads, or "' Walkwith an Erection", a humourou srewrite of the Bangles ' "Walklike an Egyptian " , was t r ul yamazi rig .

These songs are destined t obe punk rock classics as is `"Re dShirt ". It's a song about being asecurity person wearing a re duniform when Scotty beams yo udown with the landing party ,knowing that you will be dead bythe first commercial . It is a son gfor all of those who feel lik ecannon fodder .

The two opening bands wer esolid . The Afghan Whigs, aBoise, Idaho band on Seattle' sSub-Pop label, played a GO' sgarage style of music with a 90' sflavour . The second band, Dirt ,played fast st r aight forwar dmusic that was good but a littl euninspiring .

Curious George are no wtouring California with Dirt fo rthree weeks . I recommend t oanyone who has n 't seen CuriousGeorge to catch one of thei rshows when they return . Whydelay the inevitable?

ELEVEN thousand peopl epacked themselves into

UBC's Thunderbird Stadium las tTuesday night, more than th eUBC athletic department ha sseen in the last decade .

But the crowd was not ou tfor a football game, nor a socce rmatch, but for an outdoor concer tfeaturing Australia's MidnightOil .

MUSICMidnight Oi lUBC Thunderbird Stadiu mJune 26t h

The Oils gave a slick per-formance . Lead singer Pete rGarrett held the audiencespellbound with his stage antics ,resembling a rather franti cdisplay of tai chi .

The band kept the audiencehopping throughout their sho wwith a wide range of songs fro mthe environmental Blue SkyMine album to The Power andThe Passion, the song whichbrought the Oils their first NorthAmerican success, despite it santi-American and ant-bi gbusiness theme .

Opening the show with asolid, though uninspired half'hour set was Vancouver's punkrefugee Art Bergmann . "We'rethe little guys tonight, "Bergmann explained to th ecrowd and his performance live dup to his words .

Bergmann's music is bette rsuited to dingy clubs, but he an dhis band are slowly breaking ou tinto the larger arena of popularmusic, perhaps despite them -selves . Bound For Vegas, his

newest single, has even ha dMuchMusic airplay .

Hunters and Collectors fol-lowed Art Bergmann with an en-ergetic display of melodic songswhich were somewhat lost on th ecrowd, which can be at t r ibuted tothe band's lack of exposure o nNorth American radio . H & Chas been backing Midnight Oi lthroughout a North America ntour, of which Vancouver was th elast stop, giving Hunters an dCollectors its first opportunity toplay before large audiencesoutside of Aust ralia .

Their music owes a lot toAmerican soul, but what sets H& C apart from other bands istheir horn section which consist sof'a trumpet, a t r ombone and afrench horn . The combinationmakes for not only a distinctive ,muted sound, but one that seem svery well suited to pop music i ngeneral . It's a wonder the frenc hhorn has not been used more i nthe past .

The one element which tie dthe three bands together on th ebill was politics . Bergmann i swell known for his anti-righ twing tirades, and H & C adde dto the left wing content withInside a Fire Ball, a sympatheti clook at labour st rife in NorthernAust ralia .

The Oils' message, presente din clear terms not only in theirmusic, but by Peter Garrett i nbetween songs, was one of pre -serving the environment,fighting for equality and respect-ing the cultu re of the indigenou speoples of Australia and NorthAmerica . A message that shouldnot be lost on this campus .
