    The 38-day-old labor dispute at radio station CKLG will likely result in the cancellation of the Led Zeppelin concert scheduled for March 19 and 20, unless the strike is settled.

    Dave Werlin, business agent for the Canadian Union of Public Employees local 1004, which represents inside and outside workers a t the Pacific National Exhibition, said Monday his union would not handle the concert because of the B.C.

    A “hot” declaration calls on members of unions belonging to the federation to boycott the strlking company or its products.

    Twenty-seven employees of CKLG, owned by Moffatt Broad- casting Corporation, went on strike Feb. 1 for a first contract. They are represented by CUPE local 686.

    “The Federation has declared hot anybody who does business with CKLG,” said Werlin. “I can’t see how we can turn our backs on them.”

    The federation on Feb. 28

    declared CKLG “hot” and any firms doing business with the station, but the declaration did not include advertisers.

    Federation researcher Clive Lytle said Werlin announced the decision under the impression that the concert, which is sponsored by the Bellevue. Wash.-based Con- certs West, ’is co-sponsored by CKLG.

    However, station manager Don Hamilton said in an interview the station is only- advertising the concert and was not involved in bringing the concert to Vancouver.

    “Stanzl sold the land because the fraternities showed no interest in it,” said Houston. “Several years ago, the fraternities sold the land to Stanzl because they weren’t in good position financially.”

    The university calendar calls Regent College “an affiliated college” but autonomous body: trans-denominational in character and evangelical and biblical in nature.”

    “We a r e currently negotiating with Phi Delta Theta for their house,” Houston said. If they wish, they have the option of moving it or tearing it down.”

    ‘Prairie unions too costly’

    Representatives to a student council executive’s conference in Saskatoon last weekend agreed it will be difficult to establish provincial student unions in the three prairie provinces, Alma Mater Society president-elect Jake van der Kamp said Thursday.

    Van der Kamp said four UBC reps explained the operation of the B.C. Association of Students’ Unions to the conference.

    Prairie delegates explained it would be difficult to establish an organization such as the Ontario Federation of Students within their provinces, he said, because they lack the money to support ex- tensive paid secretarial staff and lobbyists.

    Van der Kamp said plans are to reconstitute the BCASU so its 17

    ’ university and community college members will pay some money to support a centralized office but most of the work, unlike in Ontario, would be done by volunteers.

    Meanwhile, spokesmen forother fraternities agreed they will be forced to raise their room rents because their lease was raised to $3,000 from $1,200 by the provincial lands department.

    “In the past year, enrolment went up 25 to 30 per cent above last year,,” said Dave Plunkett, president of Alpha Delta Phi. “We’re just coming back on our feet financially again, and now we’re being squeezed with the increase in the lease.

    “The university gets cheap housing with the fraternities. Eighteen of twenty-four of our rooms are rented to people who are not members of the fraternities and can’t get into the residences.

    “It’s certainly hard to find a room out in the city,” .said Plunkett. “We’re appealing to Victoria. ”

    In an interview from Victoria, H. K. Kidd, a spokesman for the lands department, said: “We raised the price because that’s the realistic value of the land. $1,200 is very cheap.”

    The fraternities are located on university endowment lands. The lands department determines the value.

    “Now, some of them have not paid their bills,” Kidd said. Only one of them is in good standing. Some of them are three years behind.

    “If they come to the government to appeal, we will consider it.”

    In charging that the university is attempting to buy up the frat land, Higgins of Phi Gamma Delta said: “I spoke to (university bursar) William White in November and he told me the university wanted the ‘back eight’ lots, between Agronomy Road and the two towers.”

    Two-day wait for centre fate

    By DEBBIE BARRON A fund-raising committee for the

    Asian centre now under con- struction will learn in two days whether there will be money available to complete the building, a committee spokesman said Monday.

    Committee chairman Joseph Whitehead‘ asked the federal government a month ago to finance the remaining construction. The committee is now awaiting word from the Urban Affairs depart- ment on the fwding, Whitehead said.

    “Approximately $1.6 million was raised (for the centre) but now inflation has created the need for the same amount in addition,” he said.

    Religious studies prof Shotaro Iida suggested three years ago that the centre be built and a group of private citizens decided to raise funds, Whitehead said.

    The building is the transplanted exterior of the Sanyo pavilion from the Expo ’70 world’s fair a t Osaka, Japan.

    Funds were obtained from the provincial and federal govern- ments, the federation of Japanese industries, the Expo ’70 foundation and private sources, Whitehead said.

    But, these funds will’ last only until mid-April when the exterior and roofing of the centre will be complete.

    Whitehead said he hopes the centre will be ready for the Habitat ’76 conference on human set- tlements where it will display non- governmental aspects of the United Nations meeting.

    The centre will later be turned over to UBC to house the depart- ment +of Slavonic and Asian studies, National Library books on Asia transferred from Ottawa, and enough Asian resource material to make UBC the major resource centre Asian in Canada, Whitehead said.

    TIGER CAGE of UBC? No, just average students imprisoned by work at night in main library. But alas it ’s almost over and then you’ll be educated - right?

    UBC residents eye $5,000 grant UBC residence spokesmen ex-

    pressed interest Monday in grants of up to $5,000 offered by the B.C. Rent Review Commission for position papers from landlord or tenant groups on provincial rent policies.

    Commission chairman John Brewin announced last week a total of $20,000 is available to groups that want to prepare a formal paper about B.C. rent policies.

    Half of the money will go to landlord groups and half to tenant groups, with no organization receiving more than $5,000, he said.

    Joint residence committee member Brian Dougherty, who represents Gage Towers, said Monday UBC residence groups will probably be interested in the funds.

    “It is a good project if people become interested,” he said. “What is needed is a group that knows the implications and economics of rent policy.”

    Dougherty said the joint residence committee or Alma Mater Society council members would be qualified to prepare a thorough position paper.

    Totem Park resident Ken Martens, who presented a residence student petition to the board of governors March 4, said students in residences will become interested in the funds.

    The residence petition called on the BOG to investigate alternative means of meeting residence costs

    which have lead to next year’s 18 per cent rent increases.

    The commlsslon will decide by April 15 which groups are to receive funding and the chosen groups must submit their position papers by July 15.

    Applications, due by April 15, should include details of the organization, membership, a statement of study objectives and a budget for the funds requested.

    Brewin said the commission, which is examining rent policy, will hold periodic meetings with the landlord and tenant groups involved.

    The commission plans to com- plete its study by Sept. 1 and will hold a series of public meetings before submitting’ its findings to the provincial government.

    money to build library extensions and develop facilities for expanded off-campus programs.

    UBC president Walter Gage and bursar William White declined comment about the budget allocations until they receive of- ficial figures.

    UBC’s allocation was $10 million less than the $18 million the university administration had originally requested.

    But UVic’s president William Petch said he is “very pleased” that his university will get $4 million, only $1.5 million less than the $5.5 million his university had originally requested.

    Petch said the extra money will enable the university to overcome an “extremely serious space crunch in the next 18 months.”

    The provincial government last year authorized UBC to borrow as much as $10 million to complete already planned projects.

    Council chairman Armstrong has said money borrowed and paid back this year will have to be deducted from the portion of the total capital grant UBC receives.

    White said the provincial cabinet had authorized UBC to borrow to finish an extension to the biological sciences building and to complete planning and construction of new anthropology and sociology facilities, a new library data processing centre, Asian studies centre and civil and mechanical engineering buildings.

    Still to be announced is how the n m c i l will divide up the $150.2 millio-n operating grant among the three universities.

    Frats boring; howsing not Yawn. Fraternities. That would be the editorial

    reaction here if the houses on frat row, now disappearing fast because of land transactions and land department decrees, still housed only the fraternities.

    Because after all, fraternities have sunk finally and peacefully into total irrelevancy (thank God) and i f only frats were in question the buildings might as well have followed them.

    But these days the houses don‘t just accommodate the fraternities.

    They also provide beds for about 300 students. And in these days of housing crisis, 300 beds is quite a chunk.

    So they should be preserved as additional accommodation -

    preferably on the sort of co-operative basis they have been running on lately.

    Unfortunately, that will be difficult.

    The frat land is now owned by a private developer, Frank Stanzl, who is not likely motivated by the old university spirit and won’t want to part with the land for a generously-low price. Developers tend to be so fond of their land it‘s hard to make them part with it.

    Then too, he’s already sold two lots to Regent College for use in classroom construction.

    But it might be wise for the university to step in and buy the rest. They could try to get the money from the provincial

    The CPC (M-L) should instead be encouraging struggle along class lines.

    Only in this way will the purpose of the glorious red be furthered.

    McGregor nominated The Editrix, The Ubyssey Dear Madam :

    Titillated by your spectacular and inspired story on page 1 of Friday’s issue, I offer myself in candidature for the deanship of the faculty of arts as the people’s choice. In keeping with the spirit of the age I set out my program for your inspection.

    When elected, (1) I shall abolish The Ubyssey

    and replace it with a newspaper. Fifty per cent of the staff, in- cluding the co-editor, will be members of the faculty.

    (2 ) I shall abolish the students’ council as an undemocratic body and replace it with an anarchistic synod; 50 per cent of the members will be members of the faculty.

    (3) I shall insist that 50 per cent of all lectures be delivered by students, speaking their own dialects.

    ( 4 ) I shall abolish all structures within a one-mile radius of SUB, in order that the finest sty in British Columbia may enjoy unrivalled admiration.

    (5 ) I shall abolish the present head of the department of classics and replace him with Jake van der Kamp, who has long coveted the position.

    (6 ) I shall appoint a b a r d of censors to enforce a rigid code of morals among students and faculty and to eliminate coarseness from the campus; the director (or directrix, to retain a cer ta in mystique) wiIl be Lesley Krueger, who has had long experience in this sensitive area.

    (7) I shall abolish secrecy. From now on all marks, for examinations and essays, will be distributed

    throughout the campus; and all interviews, in offices and in the health service,. will be broadcast daily.

    I hope that, in the interests of formal propriety, you will print the salutation a t the head of this letter; every flourishing organization needs a Madam.

    I remain, your devoted reader, Malcolm McGregor

    Lackey Would the editor care to explain

    why it was considered necessary, or, if it was not necessary, how it was justifiable to use the word “lackey” in a reference to me in your edition of this date?

    A lackey is defined as “one who serves.” We were merely pointing out your admirable efficiency in serving the students of this campus in your capacity of special events committee head.

    Grad class The grad class council should

    either be ratified or disbanded. Should it be disbanded, the $7 fee

    should be returned to the students and the grad class fee cancelled for succeeding years. The students can then ‘decide how, when, and on what they wish to spend their money, whether it be parties, composites, or statues.

    Should it be ratified, the grad class council should be allowed to decide on money issues, what projects to put on the ballot, and any other business pertaining to the grad class.

    These are representatives from each faculty and they were selected to speak for the students of their faculties.

    Therefore let them get on with their mandate. If reps do not see fit

    to attend the meetings then it is up to the students of that faculty to see that there is a representative at the grad class council meetings.

    The conclusion from the manner in which matters are being handled at present is that a decision must be made by someone - the student council, the student court, or preferably, the students at large.

    Keep the fee and the grad class council and give them the authority to operate or disband the council and refund the money. Someone make a decision !

    Starvation The presence of starvation in the

    world and our reaction to it has caught our concern and we would like to offer a Christian opinion on the matter.

    First ly, we would like to disassociate oursejves from any selfcentred philosophy that sees the only solution to the problem as “letting nature run its course,” without any effort on our part to alleviate this human suffering.

    The Bible teaches that man has been created in the image of God, which gives him an infinite value, not only because of this resem- blance, but also because the Bible clearly teaches that God loves all men, showing no partiality among nations or individuals.

    The loss then of one child is an infinite loss, and any effort to save one life is infinitely worthwhile.

    Jesus Christ is the basis of our response. His mission was to preach Good News to the poor and the oppressed. At His death with His last possession stripped from h i m , He was crucified as a political terrorist by a threatened and fearful establishment. He said He died to draw all men in live unto Himself, identifying Himself with

    From page 4 the human race by using the title 'Son of Man.'

    The Bible teaches that God has provided all men with the benefits, not only of spiritual salvation in Christ, but also with the abundance of the material world. There is no intention of confining these to a privileged few.

    Our aid to the hungry then is not a question of worthiness, for all men are of equal worth; it is not a question of utility, but a response in love to a loving Creator's action on the cross. Of course the problem of hunger is staggering almost to the point of despair, however the motto of World Vision of Canada is correct in saying, 'Just because you can't do everything doesn't mean you can't do something.'

    We would like to compliment those who hold to the option of letting nature take its course for being consistent. It is the logical conclusion if one holds the pre- supposition that the universe is a product of chance, time and matter.

    An utterly impersonal starting point yields an impersonal solution to the hunger problem. They should not be criticized for coming to the logical conclusion that their philosophy provides them with.

    Yet the Bible teaches we have a very personal Creator; this fact Christians see as taking less faith to believe than that we, once merely dust particles, have evolved to what we are now by blind forces in the universe.

    The Bible teaches that those who ignore the poor in their time of need, will also be ignored when poverty strikes them.

    We would like to confess our own inadequate response and our own hypocrisy in light of the serious starvation problem. We, along with many others, are trying to become more credible in our life styles, but are falling far short. The criticisms anyone might have of our reaction are probably valid and un- derstated, yet we.would have them behold Christ and His actions and love him.

    In conclusion, we would like to side with the editorial staff in their- concern for revolutionary change in the third and fourth world countries. Let us not stop at merely rearranging material possessions

    in a moreequitable manner, but let us let our social concern be also personal concern, that is concern for the societal structures as well as for the individual.

    These are the revolutionary concerns of Christ. If we take His name in vain, we take in vain a man who was anti-establishment, pro-man, and pro-social justice, and gave His life for these things, something, we, as comfortable protagonists, might be unwilling to do.

    Ridiculous I don't normally reply to any of

    the ridiculolrj statements in The Ubyssey because they aren't worthy of reply (I have this theory that some of you were hit over the head by some of the Gage beer bottles of infamy.) However, when you start quoting mathematicians, I guess it's time for me to speak for myself.

    The exponential growth rate you quote so glibly has certain assumptions. I realize that a clear statement of assumptions is contrary to your editorial policy, but still: one of those assumptions is precisely an unlimited food supply. Nature does not supply this free of charge. But since you seem to think it does have exponential growth, herFs some simple ex- ponential arithmetic, based on rather conservative specific assumptions.

    Suppose each couple had, on the average three children, and that a generation was a third of a cen- tury. Then each 200 years the population would go up by (3/2)6 which is a factor of more than 10. So assumingly only 1,000 people on the earth only 1,800 years ago, the world population is now well in excess of a trillion. With the even more anservative assumptions of 2.5 chi ldredfamily and two generations/century, the same growth would have occurred since about 2000.

    Guess what? Your model of nature was

    strong. Strictly speaking, nature does not allow overpopulation over

    the whole world; c~nly specific parts of it can be overpopulated, and only at the expense of other parts. And Nature does solve the problem. Righto.

    Now a brief examin.ation of what the actual results of a few proposals would be.

    (1) Lots of aid reaching the desired. people, and no other changes. (Put first because it's the one that will actually happen.) Except for politi.cians and professional exploiters of misery, the worst of all possible worlds. Any good effects to the current generation are solely to get a larger next generation to die of famine.

    Because giving this aid would tend to make your exponential growth law apply, increasing the population at a much higher rate then my triple-every-century above, and because the aid eventually runs out - probably because of general disgust on the part of North Americans at working that the Bangladeshes may be fruitful and multiply; possibly by exhaustion of available resources. And then the starvation the aid was originally designed to prevent will happen on a much larger scale.

    Incidentally, this effect - that is, past aid - is a major cause of the present situation.

    (2) "Let them eat nothing," as you put it, with no other changes. Not good, but substantially better since fewer people would starve - say, 1 instead of 2 billion. If this be fascism, I'll take it over liberalism any day. There are some non- mathematical advantages, too. If North Americans aren't working for others, dealings between them can be as equals - psychologically better for both sides, in getting rid of a "dependence" psychology on the Asian side, and a "guilt" psychology on the North American side.

    (Funny, isn't it, how the U.S. sends aid to whomever, and then gets accused, not of being exploited b y , but of exploiting, the whomever. 1

    (3) Make other changes. Obviously the most desirable

    solution, but, without adopting Dave Kyle's weirdo sacred nationalism, may I suggest - that's their business?

    Further elaboration here would make my letter excessively long, so I will just note that your proposal amounts to (3) plus (1) ("Massive" foreign aid), but a type of (3) which doesn't invalidate the criticisms of (1) above.

    Finally, you suggest looking at China. O.K. I see them importing hundreds of millions of bushels (or tons or dollars worth or something)

    (no, not individual seeds) of wheat. Which is hardly self-sufficiency, even though they have the most agrarian society in the world. Contrast, say, Holland. Agriculture is strictly secondary to industry there, yet they manage to export (aside from 1-bit student reporters), at least some food (cheese), even though their population is about as dense. I wonder how come?

    Women’s t,hree-year rule ends By CARL VESTERBACK

    A winning tradition stretching back three years came to an end for the Thunderettes basketball team Saturday in New Brunswick.

    And ironically, the coach .of the Laurentian Voyageurs, the team that ended UBC’s reign, is Norm Vickery, coach of the Thunderettes just two years ago.

    The Voyageurs engineered their 59-49 triumph with an aggressive defensive game which effectively

    muzzled the powerful Thunderette offence. Carol Turney was the only UBC player to perform up to par, leading the Thunderettes with 19

    ‘points. The rest of the team lagged far behind. Nearest to Turney was Tara Smith with 9 points.

    “They (the Voyageurs) played a great game,” said UBC coach Sue Evans.

    “Vickery is a good coach, and his team really showed it. They were well-disciplined and aggressive.”

    Laurentian refused to buckle under the pressure of the Thun- derettes’ full-court press, managing to blow through for some easy baskets. After failing behind, UBC found itself incapable of making up the deficit in the face of the strong Voyageur defence.

    Vickery had praise for both teams.

    “Both teams played good defence,” he said.

    “I know what a good team UBC

    Three straight wins for rugby ’Birds

    By TOM BARNES Will MacKenzie’s hat trick was

    all the Thunderbird rugby team really needed to push their way past Western Washington State and move their Pacific Northwest league record to 3-0.

    UBC took the lead a t four minutes when Ro Hindson broke away from a maul and neatly set up the entire ’Bird backfield. It was Rob Jenkins who eventually scored the try.

    MacKenzie made the score 8-0 with a nice run down the sideline. Hindson pushed the ’Birds up by 12 points as he bulled his way over the goal line at 15 minutes, carrying four Western Washington defen- ders the final ten yards.

    Western Washington tried to come back a s they pushed over a try produced by some tough, if disorganized, running to make the scoye 12-4.

    UBC bounced right back as Paul Watson dribbled the ball down the sideline and over the goal, where Dave Eburne fell on it for the try. Five minutes later John Billingsley

    defenders and slipped the ball over to Jenkins, who flipped it back to David Whyte, who cut between two defenders and then returned the ball to Billingsley who waltzed in unmolested for the try.

    Western Washington scored again on a 45-yard penalty kick. Preston Wiley cut their rally short as he returned upfield and ran 25 yards one-on-one with the last defender. Ten yards out he passed off to MacKenzie who went over for his,second try. Wiley converted to make the score 26-7.

    Whyte rounded out the scoring in the first half as he capitalized on some good reverse field running. Wiley was wide on the convert and at the half the ’Birds led 30-7.

    In the second half the Western Washington side picked up a bit to hold the ’Birds to three tries. Eburne got his second, Jenkins his second, and MacKenzie his third.

    Former Israeli soldier heckled by pro-Zionists *

    A former Israeli soIdier now turned anti-Zionist was heckled in Hebrew and called a “gangster” during a speech here Monday.

    One man who repeatedly yelled, “Gangster, you gangster” was literally shown the door by a speech organizer. The organizer asked the man to leave, held open the door, and the man left.

    McGregor was also asked if he planned to formally file his nomination papers for arts- dean with the AUS.

    “I’ve filed- them with you,” he- responded. “You’re the power on this campus.”

    But McGregor showed a liking for the idea of being arts dean. “That would be fun at my age,” he said as went out the door.

    McGregor has already an- nounced his retirement as head of classics upon reaching the man- datory administrative retirement age of 65.

    Flexer . . . now anti-Zionist the Jews but a revolution in co- operation with the Arabs that will help them, he said.

    One speaker from the floor challenged Flexer on Zionism, saying that while the movement has been used by imperialists, it has valid motives and ideas of its O M .
