Director of Libraries named T

he University Librarian for the Led­dy Library of the

University of Windsor, Albert V. Mate, has been appointed Director of Libraries at Con­cordia and will begin his duties on Jan. 1.

He replaces Dr. Paul-Emile Filion, who stepped down on June I for health reasons. Filion had been Director of Libraries here since 1976. Joe Princz, who has been acting Director of Libraries during Filion's absence, will return to his duties as Associate Direc­tor.

Mate comes to Concordia with extensive administrative library experience, beginning in 1958 at the University of Windsor where he became University Librarian in 1980.

Albert V. Mate Mate has two · Master' s ·

degre_es from the University of Michigan, one in Library Science, the other in English Language and Literature: Before entering the library

field, he taught in high school for a year and then English at Universite du Sacre Coeur, an Acadian university, · which became College de Bathurst in 1963.

Although the University of Windsor and Concordia are different, rhere are some similarities, Mate says. Wind­sor, like Concordia, has been setting up large automated computer systems . in the library. The University of Windsor has also constructed a major library building, and

. Mate was involved in the plan­ning. "I'm looking forward to another major building pro­ject," he comments.

Mate adds that he likes the idea of Concordia with its down,-town campus and its

Vanier expansion approved by city M

ontreal City Coun­cil has approved Concordia's plans

to renovate and enlarge the Vanier library on the west-end campus, clearing the way for construction to start after the spring thaw. The motion authorizing construction of the three-storey extension was one of dozens approved by council on Oct. 28. Written notification of the motion was

received by the University last week.

Homeowners and residents on Belmore A venue, im­mediately adjacent to the cam­pus (between Sherbrooke Street and Terrebonne Avenue), have opposed the project, and the group sent a petition to City Hall on Sept. 27, outlining its position.

Protest march held

C oncordia University students held a protest march · late yesterday afternoon to urge the University to transfer all financial dealings from the Bank of Mon­

treal, because of the bank's ties with the South African regime. A petition was circulated during the day and will be given to Rector Patrick Kenniff on his return from Africa which he is visiting as head of the World Unive~ity Service of Canada. More information on the day 's events will be includ­ed in next week's Thursday Report.

residents on April 30, and a se­cond meeting was held in the architect's offices Sept. 10, with two representatives of the group.

Although Concordia made a number of changes to its original plans - most notably changing the height of the building from five to three­storey s - the Belmore residents group said in its posi­tion that it remains opposed to any library being built on the planned site. - Despite the group's opposition, the mo­tion was adopted without comment at City Council.

The reduction in the height of the building will not reduce its overall surface area. The new configuration prepared by the architects calls for the same number of square feet, spread over three floors in­stead of five.

T he associations representing Concordia's 28,000 undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty members and non-aQ.ademic

staff, have joined forces with the administration to attempt to bring Concordia's funding plight to the at­tention of Quebec politicians .(and voters) during the current election campaign.

Open invitations have been extended to Premier Pierre Marc Johnson, Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa, Higher Education, Science and Technology Minister Jean-Guy Rodrigue, and Liberal Education Critic Claude Ryan, among others, to come to Concordia and explain first-hand to voters why government funding policies have repeatedly shortchanged Concordia in comparison to Quebec's other universities .

The groups involved have also decided to encourage their members to participate in what organizers -are calling "Flying Squads of Concordia Stingers". No, these aren't politically­active linebackers from the football team. They're intended to be mixed groups of non-academic staff, faculty and students who would attend local candidates meetings (as well as those of Premier Pierre Marc Johnson and Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa) to demand answers to questions about government funding priorities and their effects on higher education.

Anyone interested in participating should fill in the form below or contact Ken Whittingham in the Public Relations Department at local 4879. (See "Election ,, on page 7)

YES, I would like to make a commitment to participate in one of Concordia University's election campaign flying squads.

Debate provoked by certificate programmes by David Winch

T he rapid proliferation of certificate pro­grammes in Quebec's

francophone universities may be a cause for concern, con: tends an ad hoc committee set up by the Conseil des Univer­sites, a 15 member advisory board to the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology. ·

"Certificate programmes are growing at a time of limited funding for univer­sities, and they are attracting a very 'heterogeneous' clientele," . noted President Jacques L'Ecuyer, at a press conferen·ce Friday. ''Our worry is that many of these certificate programmes have developed in an· anarcbic fashion: they do not lead directly to degree program­mes; they often perform the professional training duties of the various professional associations; and there is no overall policy governing them.

Underlining the uncertainty is the perception that cer­tificate programmes may com­promise ·university admission standards, while creating a new stream of students whose education is being financed .out of general university funds. More specifically, . noted L 'Ecuyer, certificate programmes offer certain sociological groups university access for studies which might be better offered elsewhere, for example, in CEGEPs.

The phenomenon that the

Correction In last week's Thursday

Report in an article on a por­nography debate held at Con­cordia, it was erroneously reported that feminist writer Susan Cole said: The fact that women now form the largest group of porn consumers (60%) reflects the fact that they have accepted the ine­quality and rape-loving images fed them through this media." In actual fact, the other debater, Varda Burstyn, said, "Glamour Magazine's latest survey suggests that 60% of

_purchasers ·of video por­nography are women." This tallies with Burstyn's own in­formal survey at a video store, where she learned that over 50% of video porn users are women.

Conseil ad hoc committee is examining is principally cen­tred in the province's big city francophone universities, par­ticularly the Universite de Montreal and Universite du Quebec a Montreal (UQAM) . There, certificate programmes in administration, computers, education and accounting, for example, have blossomed in the 1980s. The clientele for these programmes are mostly women (70% ), aged from 25 to 35, who take advantage of the certificate programmes to meet the demands of profes­sional development, often ig­noring their · professional association's. legal retraining requirements.

The ''certificate phenomenon", added com­mittee member Maurice Boisvert, is particularly worry­ing because of the size of the change it represents , and its specificity to French Quebec. Quebec universities now ac­count for 70% of the cer­tificate students in Canada: only 54% of students at fran­cophone universities now study in Bachelor program­mes, while fully 32% are enrolled in some form of cer­tificate programme. By con­trast, at Quebec's English universities, 86% of students are enrolled in programmes leading to a Bachelor degree, with only 2.6% in certificate programmes.

Committee member Boisvert cited Concordia, moreover, as an example of- a

Quebec university that appeals to working students, yet has managed to maintain the B.A. format for its course offer­ings. Meanwhile, admission to certificate programmes elsewhere is suspected of eroding traditional markers of university admission; only 6% of certificate-level students have studied at university

before, and 70% of certificate students are effectively study­ing at the first year level. This may lead to a 'de facto' lower­ing of general university stan­dards, he suggested .

'' Does this reflect the relative need for francophones to catch up?" wondered Jac­ques L'Ecuyer aloud. "Should these 'micro-programmes' be

encouraged because of the way they make university more ac­cessible? Or, is it an anarchic development which should be controlled?"

The committee is calling for submissions on this subject in the months ahead, in the hope of formulating general recom­mendations to the Conseil des Universites in the near future.

Memorial Mass for teacher A

memorial Mass will be held tomor­row at 2 p.m. in the

Loyola Chapel for Marie Carlson Browne, a former Sir George Williams and Concor- . dia teacher, who died on Oct. 18 at the age of 58.

Browne was born in Buf­falo, New York. She. took a B.A. in English at Villa Maria College in Erie, Pennsylvania and an M.A. with a specializa­tion in 19th century literature at the Catholic University of America. While her children

were small, she worked as a freelance book critic for a variety of literary journals, . but in 1966 began teaching in the adult education composi­tion program at Sir George Williams University. She later transferred to the SGWU col­legial program where she taught composition and literature until she went to Dawson College in 1971, just two years after the . college opened . . She continued to teach English Com.position part-time at Concordia

University unti 1981. Harriet Duer, a friend and

colleague remembers. Browne; "As a friend and teacher, Marie touched many lives around her. A mature student whom she had tutored for almost an entire term put it best: 'She changed my life.' She changed many, and she made a difference. "

Browne's life was commit­ted to teaching and to literature, and to the belief that as a teacher one could make a difference , Duer says.

Teaching is a way of being by Paul Serralheiro

F or Maben Poirier, a sessional · professor in the Political

Science Department sin·ce 1973, . teaching involves not just transmitting informa­tion, but also a way of being. So it wasn't surprising that, when asked about revealing the secret of his successful teaching methods, he slipped into enthusiastic talk about the world of Political Science.

The seeret to his methods likely lies . in the enthusiasm he feels for his subject, rather than any conscious pedagogical procedure or a . pre-structured lecture for­mat. Not that Poirier dis­dains lecture notes, nor that he goes blindly into his role as teacher; but what is im­portant for him is that students respond to the sub­ject and actively participate in class. "If I don't get ques­tions, it destroys my style," Poirier avers, and points out that "in essence education has to deal with drawing out of one potentialities and ways of looking at things that one never knew one had."

'' All the teacher does in that sense," he continues,

Maben Poirier

"is to create the conditions that will allow one to draw these things out of oneself." To create these conditions Poirier personalizes the material l).e happens to be teaching through numerous examples, and hopes students respond to the material in meaningful ways. This often involves a certain degree of acting ability in the sense that the teacher is creating a larger than life situation. As Poirier ex­plains: "In a class, I'm more animated. Everything

becomes larger than life. I become larger than life because, otherwise, how do you reach the person in the back seat?''

"Intensity", "heat" and "visceral" are terms Poirier uses in commenting on his teaching style. Bringing his subject alive is one of his im­mediate goals, but one of his loftier goals is to promote students' ability to learn how

i to "live" Political Science. ~ "It isn't all a matter of shov­~ ing t)lings into one's memory ] ' and somehow being able to _gj recite them . The truly u educated person is not simply

a walking encyclopedia but, in fact, is a person that has mastered his or her self, as well as _simply information."

. CUFA gives views on deficit: asks to see· financial books

AT A GLANCE

T ransport Minister Don· Mazankowski will be the keynote speaker on Dec. 4 at the Transportation Deregulation Conference sponsored by the Concor-

by Barbara Verity

R eaction by the Con­co rd ia University Faculty Association

(CUFA) to Concordia's high deficit has been expressed in a three page statement sent last week to the Board of Gover­nors and circulated widely in the University.

In the statement, CUF A re­jects indiscriminate budget cuts, salary freezes and policies which will set back the quality of education in the University. Instead, CUFA calls for careful financial plan- · ning, which would include a realistic budget and effective monitoring of it, along with pressure by the Board of Governors on government for more funds.

The statement, written by the president of CUF A, has been endorsed by the CUF A Executive and Council. At this Monday's Council meeting it was also decided to ask the Administration for access to

· the University's financial books. "This is not to find out what mistakes have been made, but to make ourselves familiar with the finances since we are part of a universi­ty team. If a concerted effort is to be made by everyone, it seems reasonable to ask that we be able to look into the books," Alvi explained after the meeting. CUF A has a two member · committee ready to look at the books, he added.

Commenting on the state­ment, CUF A President Shafig Alvi said, "CUF A is ready to cooperate as much as is reasonably possible for us." Some minor ways CUF A is already helping are by con­tributing secretarial help to the Status of Women Committee and by encouraging members to contribute to the Capital Campaign. However, Alvi draws the line at salary reduc­tions, which ·he said would be "hard to swallow".

In this regard, the statement says, "CUF A wishes to cau­tion the Board of Governors that the long-term interest of Concordia will not be served if the only way out of the current budgetary maze, sought by the University, is indiscriminate budgetary cuts, salary freeze and/ or policies which will in­hibit development of quality

programmes." Alvi went on to say that the

high deficit is not the fault of faculty salaries.

The statement details three concerns of CUF A about gaps in budgeted and actual expen­ditures for 1984-85:

a) "The salary disbursement (Admissible) for part-time faculty, during the year, has increased, over the budgeted figure, by over $4 million. This was, apparently, ac­complished by_ shifting $2.6 and $1.5 million respectively from the budgeted amounts on full-time salaries and employee benefits.

b) "While total outlays on the actual and budgeted (Admissable) salaries and employee benefits have re­mained nearly the same, the

discrepancy between the two with respect to non-salary ex­penses (Admissible) is alarm­ing; the actual difference is more than $6 million or 32.1 OJo of the total non-salary expen­diture (Admissible). It is worth noting that, among non-salary items, actual over budgeted expenses on 'special' have in­creased by over 900Jo, those for equipment, travel & develop- . ment" and supplies & materials by 61.5, 38.1 and 37.90Jo respectively.

c) "While a saving of about half-a-million dollars was realized in actual over budgeted expenses in Non­admissible salaries and benefits (mostly by cutting full-time salaries and employee benefits), the dif-

A n association of part-time teachers has been formed at

Concordia University. CUP­FA - the Concordia Universi­ty Part-time Faculty Associa­tion - was established during a meeting held Nov. 6 and at­tended by about 30 teachers from various departments. No part-time teachers' association has existed at Concordia since the failed attempt to establish a part-timers' ·union in 1980-81.

The part-time teachers pre­sent at the meeting voted unanimously "to form an association in accordance with the provisions of the labour code". CUPF A is not a cer­tified association and does not have the right to bargain with the University on behalf of its members. The members of the new association chose an in­terim steering committee of 11 people, which is mandated to get CUPFA off the grouf!d; a permanent executive will be elected at a later date.

The immediate goals of CUPFA are to publish a newsletter, which will give part-timers a vehicle of com­munication, and to prepare a complete list of. part-time teachers at Concordia. Until now, information about the number o_f part-timers at the

university has not been avaiiable. Because they work irregular hours, part-time teachers may not know each other even if they teach in the same department.

Among the concerns voiced by the teachers present at the founding meeting were low pay, long hours of work, lack of benefits and lack of representation on departmen­tal and university bodies. The part-timers feel they are bear­ing the brunt of the present financial cutbacks at the University.

Prof. Judith Woodsworth, Etudes Franc;aises, was the member of a panel called, ' 'Is University Training Ade­quate?" at the Second Annual Conference of the Societe des . traducteurs du Quebec, held in Montreal in June.

Magical setting created for ball

G uests attending the Montreal Museum of Fine Art's 125th An-

niversary ball Saturday night will enter through a magical setting of primitive animals, jungle growth and waterfalls, then dance in a ballroom that promises to be an · unusual work of art itself.

Even those not going to the' ball can see the decorations on Sunday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the museum will be open to the public free of charge.

The idea for the decorations and the work of putting it together come from nine Fine Arts students at Concordia who were asked once again to do the design after the success of their work last year. Universite du Quebec a Mon­treal (UQAM) students are also involved, having three rooms of their own to decorate.

The Concordia students are decorating the ballroom and the mezzanine (at the top of the staircase), which will be us­ed . as the main dining-room.

"We are very happy with the Mu·seum's response to our idea. It's a daring concept and we are asking them for a lot ·or materials. But they were very open - they wanted it to be special,'' explains Lorne Main, a Concordia student, who is one of the assistant co­ordinators of the project.

Both Main and Coordinator Marie Chretien stress that it is

a group project, with all nine students contributing ideas and work. The other seven are Richard Lemire, who is assis­ta\!_t coordinator, _Fran~ois Gurik, Christine Simard, Lise Hely, Agnes Dumouchel," Lynn Gamache and Louis Durocher.

Having the 125th anniver­sary of the Museum as the theme, the students decided to go back to the "roots of art for the decoration on the mez­zanine. Guests - including Prime Minister Mulroney and Mila .- will pass through a simulated waterfall as they climb the staircase. They will find the mezzanine transform­ed into a jungle of strange animals inspired by early In-

. donesian and African art. · Decorations in the ballroom

will contrast with the mez­zanine, being a retrospective of exhibitions presented by the Museum during the past 100 years . At first look, it will seem like a traditional exhibi­tion however, all resemblance will quickly end. This exhibition will consist of 10 three-dimensional live pain­tings, which will measure 8 x 8 x 3 feet and have a student placed inside each one to form a figure. The paintings, by ar­tists such as Picasso, Matisse and Rembrandt who have ex­hibited at the Museum, will be interpreted through humor and futuristic elements, rather than being replicas, the organizers explain.

perso "Person to Person" is a new column, which

will be published periodically in The Thursday Report throughout the year to give Concor­dia's senior administrators a chance to com­municate directly with the University com­munity on topics of interest to them. Rector Patrick Kenniff, currently away in Africa, kicks off the series today with a column about Concordia's finances.

T oday's topic is not the one I would have chosen to begin this series with, but for better or worse, budgets seem

to be uppermost in everyone's mind this term. Deficits are nothing new to our community,

Concordia always having recognized its state of relative underfunding and the constraints of our operating budget and physical facilities. Yet we are now at a point where new solutions ·must be tried.

Internally, we are looking for strategies whereby appropriate systems of management and planning can be identified and applied to our particular needs. If we are to protect our basic missions . of teaching, learning and research, and to continue undertaking .con­temporary initiatives, we must plan on a long­term basis with an eye to the fiscal climate. Similarly, we must find a mechanism whereby we can annually evaluate and reassess our priorities and programmes. Only by doing this can we hope to respond to the very real finan­cial constraints of our age and society. . Surely the task is within the scope of our collective abilities. Members of the Concordia community have spent a long time discussing the university's future. A decade of experience has given us insight into our abilities and potential. Recognizing that we must bring our planning in line with a consistent and realistic

budgetary context, we can now negotiate a set of options that will meet our expectations about Concordia's role in the province.

This should not be an adversarial process . All members of our community are being ask­ed..to consider the university's financial situa­tion - both present and future, from dif­ferent yet comprehensive perspectives. As much as everyone should be prepared to make the case for their unit or .group, the overriding recognition should be that while we cannot do everything, we can set priorities.

Externally, we must make a strong case to tbe government and the public c,oncerning our strengths, our needs and our future. It is not just a matter of comparative levels of funding. This argument is familiar and will continue to be made. However, it must now be accom­panied by a strong statement, expressing our awareness of Concordia's strengths. We must, in this very competitive environment, make our bid for attention and resources from a position of confidence and self-awareness.

The internal budget process upon which we have embarked is necessary to support our position before government and the public.

·we must be succinct, convincing and timely, reflecting our ability to direct the future of Concordia within the province.

Over the next year, budget and planning demands will be immense, but I expect that the debate within the community will lead to new strategies, not only for maintaining our strengths but also for cqntinuing to foster in­novative programmes. It is an exercise that should not alter our commitment to quality and excellence in teaching and research at Concordia. Rather, it should confirm in our own and the public's mind, our ability to ex­cel.

Research underway on .electronics ma.terials by· Janice Hamilton

A n interdepartmen­tal team of Concor­dia researchers who

are working on developing new materials that can be used as catalysts in chemical reac­tions or that show potential for the electronics industry was recently awarded a five­year, $1.3 million Quebec government grant. This grant

will allow the University to hire four key research pro­fessors, and 12 graduate students and open new. labs in the areas of solid state elec­tronics, electrochemistry and laser spectroscopy.

Study calls for more cooperation between industry and. -university by Mark Gerson

Increased cooperation bet­ween universities and industry will benefit both sectors and will give Canada better value · for its research-and-development dollar .

So says the Corporate­Higher Education Forum in a study of university-industry research and development

· released re.cently. "Jhe climate is right for

cooperative R&D to flourish," it said.

The forum , which was founded in May 1983 by Con­cordia University staffers David Allnutt and Gerald C. Gummersel, function s as a meeting place for university and corporate leaders. It com­missioned the study to help universities and industr.y over-

come their mutual susp1c1on and to convince them to work together to boost Canada's research output.

The forum, which groups university and corporate leaders, commissioned the study to help universities and industry overcome their mutual suspicion and to con­vince them to work together to boost Canada's research out­put.

Six members of the forum, headed by Bell Canada Chair­man Raymond Cyr; spent more than a year preparing the 104-page report, titled Spen­ding Smarter: Corporate­University Cooperation in Research and Development.

Cyr's task force found that the $19 .1 million in industrial research conducted by Cana-

dian universities in 1984 -mostly on behalf of foreign­con trolled companies represented less then one per­cent of total corporate R&D that year. When the $30 million spent on scholarships ~. equipment and chairs is add: ed, the proportion rises to only two per cent. And when all this cooperative R&D is stack­ed against the "anaemic" Canadian total, the propor­tion is "miniscule", it said.

"As indifferent as Canadian business may be to the notion of contracting with univer­sities to conduct corporate research, universities seem equally so," said the task force report.

It reminded universities that corporate contracts can give

fibres, and supercomputers -but that doesn't dampen his enthusiasm about this hot new material.

His research involves the design of a furnace that can create high~quality gallium arsenide sulistrate materials, developing solar cells with a thin layer of gallium arsenide on a substrate of cheaper ger­manium, the refining of gallium ·a senide integrated circuits for satellite com­munications (funded by a grant from the National Research Council), as well as epitaxial technology, a method of growing gallium arsenide crystals.

Gallium arsenide is a man­made compound composed of atoms of the elements gallium and arsenic alternating in a crystal structure. Alone it is actually a poor conductor of electricity, but when atoms of other elements are inserted in­to the top layers of the crystal, electrons from these so-called impurities move around when a voltage is applied, giving it the electronic properites. It is the speed with which the elec­trons can move around that makes this material so in­teresting.

The supercomputers now being developed with gallium arsenide technology will func­tion five to ten times faster than computers using silicon chips. Although gallium arsenide will never replace silicon in ordinary office com­puters, it will be essential for specialized applications in the military, for example.

Gallium arsenide has actual­ly been around for many years - Lombos worked with it some 25 years ago - but it has only recently become a hot material. It is estimated that the world market for gallium arsenide integrated circuits will expand to $13 billion in 10 years.

But it is a difficult material to handle, and there are still a lot of bugs in the system. Lombos thinks the furnace he and a graduate student design­ed and patented in the base­ment of the Hall Building a few years ago could solve one of those problems.

Working on the principle of a heat pipe (a sort of heat superconductor) which gives an extremely stable temperature, the furnace makes high-quality gallium ·arsenide substrate materials

upon which the layers with semiconducting properties can later be applied. A similar fur­nace was developed by resear­chers at the Massachusets In-­stitute of Technology at about the same time. .

Although Lombos has yet to succeed in interesting British Columbia Cominco Ltd . -the second largest producer of gallium . arsenide materials in the world - in this design, he is convinced this furnace makes a better product· than current commerci~l processes and could be developed for in­dustrial applications.

Lombos is also extremely enthusiastic about a new material he and a colleague from the University of Mont­pelier recently developed. They were looking for a crystalline substance that could be used for a bubble memory, a material that uses a

. magnetic field to maintain a memory, and dreamed up a compound called lead gadolenium telluride.

To their surprise , they found that although this material does not have the structure of a compound semiconductor, it behav~s like one and could have applica­tions in the field of high­frequency communicat ions

· and supercomputers. It is also a very cost-effective material, the professor says.

They published · their first paper on their discovery recently, but admit they still don't know why lead gadolenium telluride has these properties. "We h-ave something extraordinary and we have to find out why," Lombos says.

The Hungarian-born scien­tist, who has a background in physical chemistry, solid state physics and electronic spec­troscopy, received much of his

. training in industry. He work­ed for the Battelle Memorial Institute in Geneva and was one of 10 scientists who open­ed the R aQd D lab at Northern Electric before coming to Con­cordia in 1969.

The provincial government grant will allow Lombos to continue and expand his gallium arsenide research. One of the research ·professors to be hired will specialize in elec­tronics applications,- and a new solid state laboratory will be opened. . , ..

Corporations, it said, can gain cost-effective access to expertise and graduates with "hands-on familiarity with the industry' 'who are_ ''more readily assimilated into the corporate work force".

It said that · cooperative research can only help the economy because new ideas create new jobs: for resear­chers and their assistants, in new firms created to exploit the ideas and in companies formed to support the needs of the new high-tech firms.

"Both corporations and universities must learn that the objectives of the other are neither inherently more noble or more base than their own,'' said the task force.

It noted that academics and students who haven't had direct contact with the business world are wary of it. '' A few are even openly hostile."

And it pointed to the "misguided notion" in cor­porate circles that university people "dwell in ivory towers, spending the few hours they work in a blissful attempt to increase their isolation from the vulgar outside world".

Such "false and negative" stereotypes will only be dismantled with increased con­tact between university and corporate researchers, said the task force. It encouraged both . sides to promote staff ex­ch an g es an·d cross­representation on their research advisory committees. "This is an instance when more familiarity will breed respect," it said.

The task force conceded that some organizational bar­riers to cooperative research "are so deeply entrenched that only leadership intervention will change things." It in­sisted, however, that some im­pediments could be readily removed . .

The confidentiality conflict, which pits the corporate de­mand for secrecy of reseach results with the academic need to publish c;.ould be resolved, it said, if • industry would permit disclosure of the non-patent components of their projects • universities would accept non-publishable research in its salary, tenure and promotion

review • both sides would "exploit" the long lead times of scholar­ly journals by ensuring that results are published, but not before the sponsoring business secures a competitive· edge such as patent protection.

Differing attitudes toward objectives, budgets and deadlines "can be ·reduced to comfortable tolerability through contract negotia­tions," it said, as long as both sides are candid.

The task force c.alled on cor­porations to appoint "research purchasing agents" to work with universities. And it urged universities to market their research ex.pertise more aggressively by • appointing R&D liaison of­ficers • ·publishing comprehensive listings of their researchers' areas of expertise; and • freeing researchers from cer­tain non-teaching duties to work in corporate offices.

At the same time, it warned

that not all research should be tackled co-operatively and recommended that only pro­jects appropriate to both sides be selected.

The task force accused the federal government , of con­tributing "little to the · ad- . vancement of Canada's economic competitiveness'' through its R&D spending, and it encouraged it to • subcontract more of its research • ensure that the results of the remaining in-house research "find their way systematically and efficiently into the com­mercial sector" • find alternatives · to tax­incentive support for research and development.

Finally, the task force called on the Corporate-Higher Education Forum to lead by example and award an annual $25,000 cash prize to two researchers, one each from university and industry, "who represent outstanding ex­amples of productive

In other developments at the downtown library site, the lawyer representing four of the remaining seven tenants in the Royal George -Apartment Building, at 1452 Bishop Street, last week requested a postponement of a rental board hearing scheduled for this past Monday. The hearing had been called at the tenants' request to consider an applica­tion to have their leases ex­tended beyond the prescribed expiry date. No new date has been set for the hearing.

The University' s building plans have further been delayed by a request made to Superior Court to order the Ci ty of Montreal to cease and desist any action involving the issuance of a demolition or a construction permit for the downtown library. --

The same lawyer represen­ting the four tenants mention­ed above is seeking a writ in Superior Court on grounds, among other things , that due

CUFA (Continued from page 3) ference between actual and budgeted non-salary expenses was considerabl y high (13.70Jo) . Actual travel & development expenses alone show an increase of 61.20Jo."

The statement continues: ·" CUFA's main commitment is a further improvement in the quality of education that students receive at Concordia. To achieve this end, ap­propriate environment is re­quired so that all participants in this institution (students, administrators, faculty , sup­port staff, etc.) can perform their functions properly and judiciously.

The "Flying Squads," hopefully sporting signs and Concor­dia T-Shirts, would follow party spokesmen as they travel around Montreal Island ridings to help ensure that Quebec politicos can't "get off the hook" on the issue of Concordia 's underfunding.

The idea is to make Concordia's financial problems - as well as those of all Quebec universities - a major election issue, and hopefully, obtain some type of commitment from the politicians to improve the situation - whichever party is elected to power.

Candidates in the two ridings that house Concordia's ·downtown and west-end campuses, St-Louis and NDG, respec­tively, will also be grilled about their plans to aid Concordia students and faculty, but Concordia organizers say the universi­ty community is determined first and foremost to obtain answers from party decision-makers about where they stand on the issue of public support for university education .

Because of inadequate funding given Concordia down through the years, our deficit has risen to the point where it now accounts for 290Jo of the almost $50 million accumulated deficit run up in recent years by Quebec's seven universities; it is almost twice as large as the largest deficits at any other university in Quebec.

As part of Concordia's overall election strategy, CUNASA's· Administrative Council decided last week to encourage all non­academic staff members to participate in a letter-writing cam­paign supporting university education . The letters will be directed both to letters-to-the-editor columns in area newspapers, and to local candidates in every riding with CUNASA members.

"If candidates were publicly buttonholed in every riding with a Concordia staffer living in it, this University would be a long way ahead in getting its message across," said CUN ASA Presi­dent Bill Raso, "and the same applies for students and faculty."

For its part, CUSA (the Concordia University Students Association) will be running a 30-second spot on CFCF Channel 12 outlining the general situation of university underfunding. Airtime for the election message will be provided beginning next week.

The $6,000 commercial will be paid jointly by the Concordia, McGill, Macdonald College and Vanier College students associations, but will be produced entirely at Concordia with assistance from CUTV, the Theatre Department, and others.
