Grad student charged

By VICTOR WONG A UBC graduate student has

been charged with second degree murder following the stabbing death of a researcher on campus Friday.

Zerom Seyoum, 32, was charged in the death of Minh Trang Nguyen. Seyoum appeared in Rich- mond Provincial Court Monday and was ordered to undergo psychiatric examination.

He is scheduled to make a second court appearance Feb. 25.

Nguyen, a graduate chemistry student working as a lab technician, was stabbed several times on the fourth floor of the old chemistry building at 2036 Main Mall at about 9:15 a.m. Friday morning, said police. The 32-year-old Vietnamese immigrant was pronounced dead at the Health Sciences Centre Hospital at 11:40 a.m.

Nguyen is survived by a wife and an infant child.

Campus police have recovered a butcher knife which they believe to be the murder weapon. Seyoum, a fellow graduate student and

laboratory co-worker, was arrested in the building at 9:32 a.m. accor- ding to a police statement.

Nguyen was hired by professors Richard Pincock and David Dolphin to work with them last fall o n a National Science and Engineering Research council grant.

Over the weekend, Dolphin described Nguyen as an extremely competent, thoughtful and in- dependent researcher. “As a per- son, he was very quiet but very friendly and polite,” he said.

Academic vice-president Daniel Birch said Seyoum is an interna- tional student from Ethiopia who began studies at UBC in September, 1986.

“This is a very tragic event,” Birch said. “With a large organiza- tion such as ours, we have no way of predicting or prevent ing anything like this.”

Administration president David Strangway said: “It’s a terrible thing to happen, to the people in- volved and their families. It seems senseless.”

AIDS researchers receive funding

By SARAH MOSELEY UBC has received a grant of

$830,000 from the federal govern- ment to continue a study into the transmission of the AIDS virus.

Dr. Martin Schechter, assistant professor of epidemeology at UBC, said Monday the main goal of the study, the largest and longest runn- ing AIDS study in Canada, is to understand the AID’S virus natural history of infection.

research, since the AIDS virus is preventable but not curable,” said Tivey.

The study, now continuing into its fifth year, found that men under 30 are twice as likely to become in- fected than men over 30. Schechter said younger people are at higher risk of becoming infected with the virus because they are not modify- ing their behaviour as much as older people are.

The Nat iona l Heal th and Research Development Program has allocated a total of $1,380,000 to the study since that time.

Schechter said “the study is pro- viding data so people in charge of education know what to do.” Education is definitely a means of prevention, he said.

infection with the AIDS virus is directly related to unprotected sex- ual activity,” he said. The educa- tional goal of the program should be to promote the use o f condoms,” he added. Schechter ad- vised that anyone who doubts that a potential sexual partner is AIDS- free should protect themself with a condom.

Government blasted for fee hike The provincial government is to

blame for tuition fee hikes such as the one Simon Fraser University students may be facing if ad- ministration proposal is approved, says the New Democratic Party’s post-secondary education critic.

Darlene Marzari was commen- ting on a proposal by SFU ad- ministrators to increase fees for undergraduate students by 4.4 per cent for the next school year.

“Once again students are paying the burden that the government should be picking up,” she said in an interview Monday.

Marzari added that it is the

“deliberate policy of the provincial government to downplay univer- sities. They’re anti-academic and anti-scholastic because of the men- tality of the people in power.”

If approved by SFU’s board of governors in late February, the in- crease will raise the average cost of an undergraduate’s year to $1,410. The hike is similar to proposed fee increases that have been suggested at UBC and the University of Vic- toria.

Ernie Scott, SFU’s vice-president of finance, said Monday he recognizes SFU’s fees “are among the highest in the country.”

When asked if the increase will deter students from attending SFU, Scott said: “ I t might. I can’t say to the contrary.”

Fergus Foley, a fourth year SFU communications student, criticized the proposed fee hike.

‘‘It’s the shits, it’s a real drag, total ly unfair . Students are already overburdened and the Socreds have a lot of gaul to force the universities to raise fees again.”

Some UBC students are planning to protest the Board of Governor’s proposed four per cent tuition fee increase at UBC at the next board meeting on Thursday.

“This is a symbolic gesture -we want UBC students to take a stand - to send a message that they are against apartheid and in favor df a p e a c e f u l s o l u t i o n , ” M a r y McAlister, a member of SFSA, said Monday.

According to AMs president Simon Seshadri, “a lot of people on student council don’t want a boycott, period. But they feel the issue is important enough to be decided by a public forum,” he said.

On the referendum question, Seshadri questioned the way in

“I think students should make up their own minds,” he said. “I’m not going to stop drinking Carling O’Keefe products.”

Carling O’Keefe and its majority shareholder, Rothmans Inc., are under review by Statistics Canada to determine the extent of their cur- rent South African connections. McAlister said that if the two com- panies can prove they are not South African owned or controlled they won’t be boycotted if the referen- dum passes.

“We’re not corporation bashers, we’re not trying to lynch Carling O’Keefe,” she said.

urgent need for more space, in- creased funding for collections, and a continuation of committment to technological advancement.

In an in te rv iew Monday, Strangway said there is a real pro- blem with library shelf space.

“Right now our shelves are 84 per cent full while the useful limit is 85 per cent. Basically, in terms of space, it will be a couple of years before we can’t cope. It may get to the point where we start putting stuff in boxes and nobody will be able to use it.”

The decline of the Canadian dollar has hurt the purchase of col- lections from Europe and the

Pacific, he said. “A mix of books and an interna-

tional collection is fundamental. And if you miss (buying some books) sometimes you can’t pick them up,” he said.

Strangway said the purpose of the brochure is not to raise money but to act as an early awareness campaign.

“There is a positive message in this report about a really great library serving B.C. and the people of B.C. The purpose of the docu- ment is for people to read i t , take pride and get excited about our libraries,” he said.

The report opens with a lengthy

and colourful history of the library from its bare-bones beginning and nurturing under the watchful eye of John Ridington, UBC’s first librarian who served fro’m 1915 to 1940.

In many of the subsequent pages some of the libraries’ great benefac- tors are pictured and described, such as Dr. H.R. MacMillan and Dr. P.A. Woodward.

Recession, inflation and retren- chment are discussed in a frank and open fashion.

Strangway said the university will be looking for money in the future. Priorities need to be argued through, he said.

Nobel laureate lectures By STEPHEN WISENTHAL

Today’s economists would not have predicted the great depression of the 1930’s, even with the most modern methods, a Nobel Prize winning economist said Saturday.

“I would have been caught by the 1929 stock market crash,” said Paul Samuelson, speaking to more than loo0 people in five lecture halls in Woodward IRC at the Van- couver Institute E.S. Woodward lecture.

Speaking on The Economic Future, Samuelson, who wrote the m o s t p o p u l a r i n t r o d u c t o r y economics textbook and has made

major contributions to economic theory, refused to make concrete p r e d i c t i o n s . “ K e y n e s a n d Schumpeter didn’t make correct predictions so I won’t even try,” he said.

He said Canada and the United States have six per cent of the world’s population and consume 25 per cent of world production.

If you let people in the Third World move to North America where their productivity is greater, world wealth would increase, Samuelson said, adding that would cut the standard of living of the people already here.

Free trade would be good for both countries, said Samuelson. “We’re both going to be better off i f there are plentiful transactions both ways.”

He said the American budget deficit, while “stoking the domestic locomotive,” has leaked stimulus abroad. Some of the deficit goes to Main Street America’s job oppor- tunities and increased wealth but it also goes directly to Canada, the Pacific nations and Europe, he said.

Collins v Rankin insult each other By RICK HIEBERT

Doug Collins and Harry Rankin battled it out in a heated debate on the merits of imposing sanctions against South Africa in SUB ballroom Friday.

Collins, a North Shore News col- umnist, and Rankin, former Van- couver alderman and mayoral can- didate, managed to centre the debate on the general topic of South Africa, but it quickly degenerated into name calling con- tests and shouting matches. The au- dience joined the debate with cheers and applause.

“We have to be mad to want to destroy the one country in Africa that has an efficient economy and is part of the Western tradition,” said Collins. “Change (in South Africa) is possible, and is in fact taking place. We’re in the ridiculous posi- tion of trying to push South Africa into chaos and nothing less will do.”

Collins said he loathed both the South African government’s restric- tions on the press and the system of apartheid. But the press, and therefore the public in South Africa are still freer now than they are in

the so-called frontline states that surround South Africa.

Collins said, “we are victims of the double standard and selective indignation,” as the West does not impose sanctions or adopt a hard political line against nations such as the Soviet Union.

Rankin countered by saying Col- lins is a skillful talker who panders to what he thinks the audience wants. “In other words, the same kind of style of Hitler.”

He refuted Collins’ claim that South Africa has an efficient economy operating in the Western t radi t ion by citing statistics documenting the political and economic inequality in South Africa.

“He (Collins) says that the government of South Africa is of- ficially against apartheid. Then, the answer to that is end apartheid now.”

Rankin said the ills of Africa may partially be the fault of “im- perialists” who “chopped it up like so much hamburger.”

“The way we can help here (South Africa), is say we are not go- ing to invest in your country, we are not going to buy from your coun- try, until you destroy the apartheid system and let those people develop their own humanity in their own ways,” said Rankin.

“Look objectively at what South Africa is and do your part in ending it. That is all that is being asked of you. You’re university students, you’re the future leaders of the country. Make that commitment that this university won’t profit

Collins replied that blaming all the ills of South Africa on the whites is unrealistic. “We should stop patting ther blacks on the head and telling them they were the vic- tims of colonialism. I mean, they’re big boys now and they should surely be able to look after their own af- fairs.”

Collins said during a recent trip to South Africa he noticed that sanctions had already hurt black workers, especially those who work in the tourism industry, “and they have Harry (Rankin) and all the

for that.” Rankin replied that sanctions did

hurt the blacks economically, but are necessary as they will bring down the government. “Do you want to live off other people’s misery?” he asked the audience. .

Collins concluded by saying South African sanctions are design- ed to not hurt the West as Canada still imports strategically important minerals. Rankin replied that the world was not free of hypocrisy, yet that didn’t mean the step of sanctions should not be

Tuesday, January 27, 1987

Students will vote this week on whether or not the Alma Mater Society should boycott South African-linked products currently sold in SUB. This should never have been a referendum question.

W e are voting on an initial proposal made by an AMS club, Students for a Free Southern Africa, to our AMS. It is a specific proposal which should have encouraged the AMS to develop and vote on a series of ideas, in- cluding this initial one.

Instead, our tragically inept and out of touch student council took one specific proposal, pretended it represented all possible anti-apartheid ac- tion, called a referendum and said students must vote on it alone.

It appears the students of UBC elected a student council that is so in- secure it not only believes it does not have the mandate to take action on behalf of i t s electorate (to impose the boycott itself), but feels compelled to stack the deck against its ever having to take action which mirrors valid and wide-spread student concern.

Our gutless and apathetic AMS is depending on voter apathy and a shamefully narrow question to stifle students' abhorance of apartheid.

Passage of this referendum requires that a majority - which must con- sist of at least 10 per cent of eligible voters - vote "yes" to the boycott. In- formal polls indicate that eight out of 10 students favor some action by the AMS. But do they specifically favor a boycott? And will enough of them vote? Our AMS is well aware that apathy is usually the big winner in student elections and referenda.

Let's refuse to accept our student council's irresponsible action. Let's not allow them to stiffle student rage against the apartheid regime.

Vote "yes" to end apartheid, "yes" to human rights, and "yes" to solidarity with students in South Africa.

Impotent The provincial government still refuses to supplement the federal

government's contribution to university education. What's a Board of Governors to do? Insist that the provincial government assume its respon- sibility to the people of British Columbia and invest in B.C.'s own students?

No, they prefer to squeeze the bucks out of financially strapped students. After all, those board members have their own futures to con- sider. It wasn't the students who put them on the board.

When the federal government calculates its annual contribution to post- secondan/ education it does so based on a formula which includes a pro- vincial supplement. But in B.C., home of Expo debts and vote-getting highways, we have better things to spend our dollars on. Anyway, a s Pat McGeer once said (indicating his financial astuteness) it's cheaper to im- port the educated from other provinces and countries than to train them here.

It would appear that a Board of Governors would be in a position to de- mand a healthy system of higher education, and to represent student con- cerns over higher tuition to the anti-intellectuals in our provincial govern- ment. Instead, ou r Board of Governors accepts anti-university provincial dictates, and forces students to pay for the board's impotence.

We urge all students to join a protest outside the Old Admin building at 2 p.m. on Thursday, when the Board will decide on the increase.

I have refrained from commen- ting on a number of articles in The Ubyssey generated by those students involved in the anti- apartheid movement. I have refrained because I believe the students are well-intentioned and that the movement is one of many aimed at making the world a better place for all its' inhabitants.

They have incorrectly stated that Carling O'Keefe is a South African owned or controlled company. Carling O'Keefe and its sales representatives have been part of your campus and community for many years. I also believe that the students of UBC should make an informed decision based on facts rather than on misinformation.

I'd like to clear up the misinfor- mation that exists on campus about Carling O'Keefe. Once the record is straight and you know the facts, you'll be free to make an informed choice.

Carling O'Keefe is a Canadian company that is not owned and is not controlled by a South African multinational corporation.

Carling O'Keefe's majority or c o n t r o l l i n g s h a r e h o l d e r i s Rothmans Inc. (Canada) and it holds 50.1% of the shares of Carl- ing O'Keefe. Rothmans Inc. is a publicly-traded company. It has no plants, no employees, no opera- tions, no investments in South Africa.

Rothmans Inc. (Canada) has a majority shareholder - Rothmans International plc of the U.K. Rothmans International pic has no employees, no investments, no plants and no operations in South Africa.

Rothmans International is a p u b l i c l y - t r a d e d U . K . - b a s e d multinational with business in- vestments in 12 countries around the world. The Chair of Rothmans International has stated publicly, on several occasions, that neither Rothmans nor its subsidiaries have any involvement in South Africa.

Rothmans International plc has 10,OOO individual shareholders, the majority of whom are British na- tionals living in the U.K. Rothmans International has no majority shareholder.

Rothmans International has two large single shareholders - Philip Morris of the United States and Rothmans Tobacco Holdings of the Un i t ed K ingdom. Ro thmans Tobacco Holdings represents an in- direct South African interest in Rothmans International. But it is not a direct, majority or contrr lling interest.

I will be perfectly honest with you, at one time the Rembrandt Group of South Africa did have cons iderable involvement in Rothmans but that has changed since the late seventies and changed significantly since 1984.

Carling O'Keefe divested of its

Black Label brand in South Africa in 1980. It was not sold to a Rem- brandt company or affiliate.

You are asked to ban or boycott a company not for present corporate structure and activities but for a past involvement.

Carling O'Keefe is not part of a South African transnational com- pany. Carling O'Keefe is not a link in a chain of South African con- trolled companies.

The submission by Students for a Free Southern Africa to the AMS Council is full of misinformation and factual inaccuracies.

Choose the facts. Freedom of choice is a precious thing. In efforts to provide freedom to others don't deny that same privilege to fellow students.

Carling O'Keefe is a Canadian company and its profits do not go to South Africa but rather to employing 5 , 0 0 0 people across Canada and purchasing Canadian goods and services.

Thank you for the opportunity to set the record straight.

Being students of an educational institution that not only admits in- ternational students but also com- mands the attention of academics around the world, we should heed the call of the people of South Africa and do everything in our power to establish a democratic and free society within South Africa.

The vote and why

A referendum is a decision made by all the members of a community. You have the obligation and privilege of contributing your opi- nion, and i t counts as much as anybody else’s.

By the Constitution and Bylaws of the Alma Mater Society, ten per cent of the day students must vote “yes” for the referendum to pass, and of course “yes” votes must ex- ceed “no” votes. (Evening students can vote too; the quorum require- ment is for calculation purposes only). The failure to reach quorum would result in the AMS continuing the sale of all products. REMEMBER, YOU NEED YOUR

of that phrase:

order to avoid acting in the name of apartheid on an issue that centers around established foreign control.

A vote for this referendum is not a vote against apartheid, but in- stead a vote against Canadians and the Canadian economy. We all want to exert what influence we can against the South African regime. But in our haste to do so we can err unfairly. We must recognize the need to be thoughtful when passing judgement in order to be just. We must actively seek to know the facts.

In order to vote objectively on this issue you must know the following facts and be able to answer the following questions.

O’Keefe with Statistics Canada to- day?

A) At the present moment the Carling O’Keefe status is “under review.” Some of the previous data is not correct and Statistics Canada is looking into it. Serious questions have been raised by outside, in- dependent, sources as to the validity of the previous Statistics Canada listings. Leading corporate indexes such as Dunn and Bradstreet’s “Who Owns Whom,” do not list Carling O’Keefe or Rothmans P.L.C. as South African controlled c o m p a n i e s . T h e r e f o r e , t h e previously listed Statistics Canada information should not be used as a guideline.

Q) Who actually controls Carl- ing O’Keefe?

A) All business of the company is governed by the Board of Direc- tors. The leading shareholder con- t ro l o f Car l ing O’Keefe i s Rothmans Canada Ltd.. Their leading shareholder is Rothmans P.L.C. (U.K.); Rothmans P.L.C.

Q) What is the status of Carling has no controlling shareholder.

THE QUESTIONS AND THE ANSWERS

BY INTERNATIONAL LAW, neither Philip Morris nor Rothmans Tobac- co Holdings may in any way control Rothmans P.L.C. (U.K.). Therefore,

Q) How does Statistics Canada the maximum order of control of Carling O’Keefe rests within the United define “control”? Kingdom (Britain).

Philip Morris and Rothmans Tobacco Holdings each have large shareholdings. However, by inter- national law, neither company is allowed to control Rothmans P.L.C.. In fact, neither company can appoint a member to the board of directors. Therefore, the max- imum limit of corporate control over Carling O’Keefe is in the United Kingdom.

As further independent cor- roboration, the Financial Post newspaper analysts studied the con- trol structure of Carling O’Keefe and Rothmans last fall. The Post found that Rothmans P.L.C. has no controlling shareholder. This is because European law dictates that ne i the r Ph i l l i p Mor r i s no r Rothmans Tobacco Holdings (Rembrandt Corp.) can join to become a majority voting block. Thus in no way does any group con- trol Rothmans P.L.C. Also, in no way does any South African organization control Rothmans P.L.C. (U.K.).

Q) Do leading South African representatives for blacks support a ban on Carling O’Keefe products?

A) The most prominent voice for black South Africans does not sup- port a ban on Carling products. S.A.C.T.U., the South African Coalition of Trade Unions, is a significant lobby group supporting economic sanctions against the government. When the represen- tative for the union was asked directly if a ban on Carling O’Keefe products was appropriate, he replied unequivocally, no. Carling O’Keefe does not appear on the S.A.C.T.U. blacklist. Thus, people at the heart of the black South African movement state that a ban on Carling O’Keefe will not help blacks in South Africa.

Q) Is there Canadian support for a ban on Carling O’Keefe and Rothmans?

A) There is no significant Can- dian support. Many universities across Canada have been faced with similar motions and outright thrown them out. A few organiza- tions have had bans, but when fac- ed with the full spectrum of infor- mation have immediately dropped any bans. Such is the case with the University of Toronto Law Society. In a small minority are individual groups which actively ban Carling and Rothmans products.

On the labour front, several pro- minent unions have actively de- nounced any ban of Carling pro- ducts. This is all because a ban would directly hurt Canadian businesses and workers. The detrimental effects would be felt within the Canadian economy. In the end a fine Canadian firm would be harmed without any effect on the Apartheid regime. Faced with the facts, Canadians do not support any form of action against Carling O’Keefe or Rothmans Canada.

Finally, the referendum before the students of UBC does not ad- dress the problem of apartheid. It instead, suggests punishing Cana- dian companies for alleged South African involvement according to an inaccurate source. That source, Statistics Canada, openly admits that its classification could well be in error and so should not be used as a base guideline.

The students of UBC should see the inherent problems with the referendum before them. It asks US to forfeit our freedom of choice based on incomplete and misleading information. Your freedom of choice is an extremely important issue, don’t forfeit it without clear understanding of the problem before you.

Read the facts and make an in- formed decision. The obvious choice in this case is to vote NO on the referendum.

Presidential ~~~~~

Stories wn’ffen by Evelyn Jacob, Victor Wong,

Corinne Biorge, Svetozar Kontic, Sumh Moseley.

Hebecca Nevraumont As my first priority, I would try

to funnel more money from business operations into student groups, clubs, service organizations and constituencies.

I think a referendum on the sale of South African products in SUB is a good idea. If you remove the rights of students, and let some 40 council members make a decision on it, you’re functioning in an op- pressive situation. I’d support the results of the referendum whether or not I agree with them. Students should get as much information on it as possible.

UBC’s sexual harassment com- mittee has no students on it and I think that’s ridiculous because stu- dents are often the target of harass- ment. It does not appear that there will be student representation on the committee, and so the A M s should form a body that performs that function for us. It could possibly operate under the auspices of the ombuds office.

I support an increase in the stu- dent athletic fee levy because it is not a large increase, and we have one of the lowest athletic fees in the country. But the athletic depart- ment must become more fiscally responsible. I’d like to see the ma- jority of funds go to subsidizing in- termurals so that students can pay less for intermural sports.

I don’t like the idea of the four per cent increase in tuition fees on top of past increases, which have not shown any improvement in teaching conditions. Classes are crowded; there are not enough t.a.’s, labs get cut and courses are dropped from terms. More money should come from the government, not from students.

Blair Longley 1 would like to pursue the issue o f

whethcr 18-year-old students have the constitutional right to vote rn the B.C. provincial election. We should petition the Supreme Court for a declaration saying it is unfair.

I’m voting no on the South African referendum because it infr- inges on the rights and freedoms o f UBC students. Boycotting South Africa is more likely to precipitate genocide than end apartheid.

Racism must be understood from a military point of view, not a moral one. Restricting the choice of UBC students over which beer they can drink is a ridiculous way to liberate black people.

It is of extreme importance that UBC have procedures on sexual harassment grievances. The A M s should formula te p rocedures because the issue won’t go away -- it will only get bigger. Sexual harassment is not a unique type of grievance, but it’s more delicate and needs more diplomacy. The om- buds office already exists to handle grievances, but the AMS should create a support centre or group which is made more visible.

The increase in the student athletic fee levy is yet another rip- off where students get a token representation and pay and pay. If students must pay for the increase, then they should take more control in decision making.

I don’t agree with the four per cent tuition increase. It would be better i f tuition was rolled back 50 per cent. It’s getting to the point where university education is an elitist thing - it’s totally disgusting that only the wealthy will have university educations. Four per cent compounded forever is infinity.

The president chairs and prepares the agenda for student c o u n d meetings and ensures the policies of council are properly implemented. He or she acts as the official liason between the student societv and is

Director of finance Speakeasy’s expertise.

I do not support the student athletic fee levy increase. I think the AMS should be able to take a very close look at the University Athletic Council’s fiscal plans and opera- tion<

Don lsaak lcly number one priority would be

to conduct an analysis and com- parison of the student and private businesses that operate on campus to see i f and how they are being sub- sidizcd by student fees.

I do not think an AMS boycott of South African goods is an issue in this election because it is being decided by the referendum.

To deal with sexual harrassment complaints, the AMS should set u p a committee or allocate resources to work through Speakeasy to use

With regard to the university’s proposed 4 per cent tuition in- crease, there is absolutely nothing we can do at this level, considering the recent actions of the Provincial Government, other than to expresh to the Board of Governors how thc AMS feels.

Garth Miller

I would assist constituency representatives in the utilization of the Alma Mater Society resources, and ensure those resources are managed to the present and future benefit of the university communi- tY.

The A M s should not make a habit of doing business with a n y company, Canadian, Chi lean, South African, which knowingly creates and perpetuates unsafe working conditvons or violates basic human rights. I will not support a boycott of Carling O’Keefe and Rothmans until it is clearly shown that these companies or the revenues from Canadian companies are being used to maintain the status quo in South Africa.

The proposed four per cent tui- t i o n f e e i s h i g h b u t n o t unreasonable. Further increases should be more incremental and matched by increased funding for the less affluent.

The student athletic fee is high enough. Further increases must be halted until the level of services pro- vided is improved.

Don Mustard

Vice-pre: My first priority is to get the

AMS budget finished earlier. Without a budget, the AMS is spen- ding money without a mandate.

The referendum on whether the AMS should boycott South African products in SUB gives studens a chance to say how they feel about the issue. I would take my guidelines from the results of the referendum even if it doesn’t reach quorum. That should be the posi- tion the AMs should take.

That UBC does not have formal

Carol Pedlar

I think it’s important to improve relations with, and services for, constituencies on campus. I also would like to see the A M s budget passed on time.

I abhor apartheid, but the ques- tion is whether you believe sanc- tions will help South Africa move towards a democracy. I’m more in- terested in what’s going on on cam- pus. Whatever the students vote for, I’ll support.

If students decide in the referen- dum that they are in support of the ban then I’m in full support. There is some question as to Carling O’Keefe’s and Rothmans’ connec- tion to South Africa, but if Statistics Canada decides they are South African controlled company and students support a boycott, we should have them out of SUB.

I think there should be student representation on the university sex- ual harassment committee, as a

an open committee, but there”s no way that can happen. People will always want their privacy.

No I don’t support the athletic fee levy increase. The university raised the fee a couple of years ago a tremendous amount and we didn’t get any increase in services. If they are going to do it, students should get an increase in services.

trol over their spending, and no one seems to know where the money goes. Some sports get little support compared to football and hockey. The university athletics council should prove to us the benefits of having an increase before we give more money.

I do not believe in a four per cent increase in tuition fees. I paid $630 in tuition when I first came to UBC in 1980. This year, I paid $1,800. I don’t think any student wants an in-

UBC athletics has basically no con- crease.

The first thing I would like to see happen as vice-president is the establishment of a food bank at UBC. Other than that, I haven’t really graded the issues.

Banning South African-tied goods in SUB should be decided by a referendum. I can live with any result if the referendum reaches quorum. If the students vote yes, then yes. If they vote no, no.

I’m not personally aware of any sexual harassment cases at UBC, but I don’t think they don’t exist. If the Alma Mater Society wishes to

students being the most harassed people. The ombuds office should take care of a l l student problems. Perhaps the A M s should create a grievance committee which could be tied to the ombuds office. As a member of the men’s

athletic committee, I’ve seen sloppy operations and a completely ineffi- cient use of student funds for athletics. Any increase in the activi- ty fee level should go to intermurals which is the worst funded area of athletics. More facilities should be available for students as they’re paying the bulk of the cost.

formulate grievance procedures, it should so in conjunction with the administration.

I don’t think there should be a hike in the student athletic fee levy. The University Athletic Council has shown a complete lack of accoun- tability. The way they’re acting is disgusting.

As for a tuition fee increase, it’s not very nice, but the university will have to get the money from somewhere. It doesn’t look like it will come from the government.

I don’t think any students like the proposed tuition fee increase. We’ve seen tuition increases by 50 per cent over the last three years, and now we have one of the highest in the country. The effect has been to scare off young people from go- ing to university, especially from the interior, who will go to universi- ty in Alberta where the tuition is lower. We have to try and get fun- ding from the government instead of increasing fees; however, it’s bet- ter to have a four per cent increase now, than a 20 per cent increase later.

The coordinator is responsi- ble for the preparations of briefs or negotiations concerning higher education for submission to either or both the federal and provincial gaVNnments.

Craig Lindsay

My first job would be to form a committee that is widely represen- tative of all students, develop some plans with input from students, and work towards implementing them.

There are a lot of diverse views but 1 find apartheid, to be par- ticularly abhorrent.

I personally do not believe that a boycott would be successful to any great degree, but perhaps it is our best avenue for showing our disapproval.

UBC’s sexual harassment com- mittee is not looking for student in- put. This obviously has been a pro- blem swept under the rug for a long time . There should be an A M s committee to look into it. Student views would be less biased than faculty’s because students would be more willing to look into grievances against pro- fessors.

I would have to find out exactly where the student activity fees are going. 1 have heard rumours that funds are being misappropriated. I have been an active participant in intramural sports - perhaps there could be more funding in this area, because a greater number of students would benefit.

The four-percent tuition fee hike is a much more agreeable number than the increases we’ve had in the past. A lot of students are suffering

because of increased costs, but there has to be a realization that the government can’t fund all areas of education.

Brett Clippingdale

What pisses me off is that the AMS Business Manager makes $76,000 a year. Let’s make it more reasonable: $48,000 a year is still very competitive, and it would save us $28,000 a year. And what about A M s student executives who make $1,760 a month during the summer? Most students are lucky if they can make $700 a month, so let’s make executives’ salaries more fair: $1,500 a month at most. With five executives, that’ll save us $5 ,000 a year.

Other things that bother all of US are expensive bus passes, high stu- dent loans, and a small summer job market. Let’s get a $23 concession >

bus fare pass for students. This won’t be easy. These are

challenging goals. And they can on- ly be accomplished by someone with the excellent business and government conncections which I have. I’m active in political groups, and have friends who work directly with the Minister of Advanced Education.

I want to balance the AMS business with the AMs student resources. Students booking spaces in SUB can have a maximum of three hours time and I think it should be expanded to five or six hours. Clubs should get new fur- niture and the AMs should utilize the ombuds office more.

The referendum will say what the students believe in and we should abide by that.

The sexual harassment issue is ex- tremely sensitive. Dr. Strangway is forming a committee to work out procedures which is fine. Those procedures will be given out to studens and the AMS to review. If the AMS tried to set up its own ad-

I’ve heard people say that tuition increases are a necessary evil. I believe these people are only half right. Large increases are not necessary. A four per cent increase is reasonable; however, I don’t want to see 10-15 per cent increases as we’ve had in past years.

I wouldn’t like athletic fees in- creased for two reasons: they are not at a level that is necessarily high, and there is a question as to how well the fees are being manag- ed.

The decision on the AMS referendum on the sale of the South African goods is now in the hands

hoc committee it wouldn’t work because it doesn’t have the resources. We should make sure the x

students that sit on the committee are mature enough.

On the athletic fee increase, col- legiate sports are always in defecit but the president’s office made up for it in the past. That isn’t the case anymore so students should ask if collegiate sports are important enough to pay for. The student body should decide to support the fee increase.

The tuition fee increase is fair in relation to inflation and the GNP. It is hard on the students but we still only pay about 15 per cent of the total cost of university. We have to look at things realistically; if infla- tion rises tuition will also rise.

of the students where it should be. 1 trust the students will give the issue serious consideration and would like to urge a good turnout on Jan. 28, 29, 30.

It seems that 10 per cent of the student body turns out for 90 per cent of UBC student activities. Clubs days is an effective medium for students to get involved. This can lead to memorable experiences but many students avoid these ac- tivities.

Students Reauire Their ANIS Card To Vote

Tuesday, January 27,1987 T H E U B Y S S E Y Page 9

O'Keefe employee says information distorted As an employee of Carling

O'Keefe Breweries and a full-time student, I am very interested in the outcome of the upcoming referen- dum on apartheid sanctioned by Students for a Free South Africa. I have listened to allegations of con- trol of Carling by South African in- terests and the concomitant link of this company to apartheid. I have been dismayed by the misinforma- tion being circulated by the students responsible for the referendum - the dis tor t ion of facts and misrepresentation of Carling's side is incredible.

The facts as presented by the Financial Post (Nov. 10, 1986 edi- tion) are as follows: -There is a 15.3 per cent indirect

interest in Carling held by South African Dr. Anton Rupert. This indirect interest occurs as follows;

-European based "Rembrandt In- ternational (whose majority shareholder is Rupert) has 44 per cent voting control of Rothmans International PLC. Rothmans International has a 71.2 per cent interest in Rothmans Canadian o p e r a t i o n s " . " R o t h m a n s Canada owns 50.1 per cent of Carling."

"Rembrandt has no representation on the board of directors of Rothmans holdings. The South African connection is

remote and in no way resembles the state of affairs indicated by the in- dividuals proposing the referen- dum. The situation appears to me to be a smear campaign not unlike the recent scandal wherein Proctor and Gamble were linked (via their logo) to bizarre religious cults. Similarly, a few years back, Labatt's sales were affected when a rumour was circulated that they were controlled by (East) Indian in- terests.

The alleged relationship between Carling and apartheid does not ex- ist. The whole question of South African control of this company is a non-issue that has become an issue by distortion of facts. The referen- dum on which students will be ask- ed to vote includes on the ballot a list for Carling products to be bann- ed (presumably to send a message to the South African interests).

Both men’s and women’s teams were ailing the past two weeks but managed to recover in time to beat their respective opponents (67-38) and (84-26).

The women were led with wins by Alison Gilbert (100,200m freestyle), Anne Martin (50m freestyle), S t e p h a n i e B r o w n ( l o o m

Good, Janet Oakes and Martin and the freestyle relay of Gwen Chambers, Angie Haveman, Oakes and Gilbert also won.

In women’s diving Melody Smeaton took the one meter event while Trish Murphy was second. Murphy won the three meter board with Smeaton second. Darlene Travis placed third on both boards.

The men took 1 1 of 13 events from the visiting Americans. Chris Bowie (400.800m freestyle),

ly), Geoff Donelly (4OOm individual medley) and Kevin Draxinger (100m backstroke) rounded out the list of individual winners.

Draxinger, Rob Traynor, Nord- strom, and Donelly also won the medley relay while Clint Hirst, Nordstrom, Draxinger and O’Hare won the freestyle relay.

Volleybirds stuff Pandas

The UBd women’s volleyball team played three games in three cities this weekend and have come back with mixed reviews.

On Friday night the team played in Edmonton and defeated the University of Alberta in four games 10-15, 15-10, 15-10 and 15-7. The win didn’t come easy as UBC had to adjust to Alberta’s slower paced of- fence.

Saturday afternoon UBC was in Saskatoon against the University of Saskatchewan. The teams were in- volved in a few rallies, but Saskatchewan seemed to finish them off as they beat UBC 15-5, 15-8, and 15-11.

The statistics for the game show that UBC had 44 kills, 12 blocks, and four aces against Saskat- chewan’s 54 kills, 12 blocks, and ten aces.

Jumper joins elites By DAVE WII.KINSON

Jim Gamlin joined an exclusive club this weekend.

On Saturday, at the Golden Bear Open track meet in Edmonton, the fourth year UBC zoological student high jumped 2.13111, the metric

are determined. Gamlin’s previous best in competition was 2.07m. No- one else at the meet cleared more than 2.01m.

“I couldn’t have asked for a bet- ter start to the season,” last year’s Canada West champion said. “The world record (2.41m) was in ieouar-

of Jim,” he said. Geoff Hansen was so disap-

pointed by one of his leaps in the triple jump that he almost walked through the pit, which would have disqualified the performance. He didn’t, and when the measuring tape was stretched, Hansen had a personal best 13.74m, 5 cm past CIAU standard.

Team captain Kevin Godden re- achieved standard in the triple jump, with 14.01m while three-time Canada West champions Boyd Mason and Dave Wilkinson easily achieved s tandards in their specialities.

“strongest in ten years”. The improvement over last year

stems from a growing mental toughness, another year’s ex- perience, and the addition of talented newcomers Cheryl Or- mond and Chrissy Mitterndorfer. Al l the women have already made the qualifying scores for the CIAU national championships on March sixth and seventh.

UBC coach Alena Branda said, “the team will have a strong show- ing if it can remain healthy.”

At the nine team Seattle Pacific Invitational on Saturday Branda’s worst fears were confirmed as Cheryl Ormond was injured after

falling from the uneven bars. The extent of her injury is not known.

Seattle Pacific won the event with the UBC team finishing sixth. Significantly UBC did beat the University of Calgary team who are considered to be amongst the top three teams in Canada. In the in- dividual standings Bev Beres had a strong performance to place eighth, Jennifer Dong took the 12th spot.

Kevin Seburn and Steve McGuire made strong comebacks from in- juries as the men’s gymnastic team travelled to Edmonton and Saska- toon over the weekend. Both Seburn and McGuire were com- peting for the first time since they sustained injuries on January 10th in Seattle.

“It was so noisy in there (the Vic- toria gym) while Paul was shooting his free-throws you couldn’t even hear,” said guard Maurice Basso.

Eric Kristiansen played an excep- tional game - shooting a pure five for five from the field, bagging seven rebounds, and limiting the six foot nine inch Mckay to only eight points.

Rookie British setter, Neil Withington, directed the Birds attack, giving veteran Walter Janzen I O kills, and Phil Boulden 9 kills.
